McNair Wilson's ''Monarchy or Money Power'' (1933). I haven't seen the original book, just a transcript at the [http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/ Yamaguchy web site]. The first two paragraphs from that book's [http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/7897401/mcnair/monarch_09.htm “Chapter IX—Napoleon”] are: <blockquote> <p>Having made peace with the whole world, Bonaparte set about his task of preparing himself and the French people for the return to the God-system. It was ordained by him that money should not be exported from France on any pretext whatever except with the consent of the Government, and that in no circumstances should loans be employed to meet current expenditure whether civil or military.</p> <p>The object was to withhold from finance the power to embarrass the Government as it had embarrassed the Government of Louis XVI. When a Government, Bonaparte declared, is dependent for money upon bankers, they and not the leaders of that Government control the situation, since “the hand that gives is above the hand that takes”<sup>57</sup>. He did not allow anyone to forget the shipments of gold to England organized by Barras at the expense of the army of Italy, and at a moment when France was denuded of metallic currency. “Money,” he declared, “has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency: their sole object is gain.”</p> <p>...</p> <p>Note 57.—This was among his favourite quotations.</p> </blockquote> The only part I can verify is “the hand that gives is above the hand that takes”, which other sources also attribute to Napoleon, although not with respect to banks (and not as an original saying). For example, in ''Napoléon a dit: aphorismes, citations et opinions'', p. 82: *La main qui donne est au-dessus de celle qui reçoit. **Dicton italien, cité par Bonaparte pendant la première campagne d'Italie pour souligner la dépendance pécuniaire du Directoire enver l'armée d'Italie qui lui procura des million et des trésors, butin des pays conquis. I somewhat doubt the rest is valid. I find “l'argent n'a pas de patrie” (money has no fatherland) several times in the 19th century, but never attributed to Napoleon, which is very odd if he said it. I also can't find any trace of the rest of the quote in Google Books, but this doesn't mean much since there are many ways to translate it and there aren't as many French books yet in Google Books. I'm also a bit suspicous because R. McNair Wilson was quite a fanatic on the money issue. Besides ''Monarchy or Money Power'', he once wrote a book, about a monetary change which now is just a footnote in French history, with the hyperbolic title [http://books.google.com/books?id=BFQVAAAAIAAJ ''The Defeat of Debt: Being an account of the world-wide and secret battle which, on June 6th, 1935, ended in the downfall of the International Money Power Together with certain forecasts about the prosperity which all men are now about to enjoy'']. He also wrote ''Promise to pay; an inquiry into the principles and practice of the latter-day magic called sometimes high finance''. A few French web sites give the quote in French, but without a source and it seems a bit awkward, as if the quotation is translated from English, rather than originally in French. For example: *Lorsqu'un gouvernement est dépendant des banquiers pour l'argent, ce sont ces derniers, et non les dirigeants du gouvernement qui contrôlent la situation, puisque la main qui donne est au dessus de la main qui reçoit. ... L'argent n'a pas de patrie; les financiers n'ont pas de patriotisme et n'ont pas de décence; leur unique objectif est le gain.

His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a sceptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. His general idea of the importance and possibility of a skeptical methodology makes Bacon the father of the [[scientific method]]. This marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, the practical details of which are still central in debates about science and methodology today. : See also: :: ''[[The Great Instauration]]'' :: ''[[Ornamenta Rationalia]]'' :: ''[[Essays (Francis Bacon)]]'' == Quotes == *“Libraries are as the shrine where all the relics of the ancient saints, full of true virtue, and that without delusion or imposture, are preserved and reposed.” [[File:18-year old Francis Bacon.jpg|thumb|I confess that I have as vast contemplative [[ends]], as I have moderate [[civil]] ends...]] [[File:Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban from NPG (2).jpg|thumb|The monuments of [[wit]] survive the monuments of [[power]].]] [[File:Francis Bacon.jpg|thumb|[[Knowledge]] itself is [[power]].]] [[File:F Goya Disparates No.2 Torheit der Furcht.jpg|thumb|[[Nothing]] is terrible except [[fear]] itself.]] [[File:Der Sensemann2.jpg|thumb|[[Death]] is a [[friend]] of ours; and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at [[home]].]] [[File:Peraldus Vices and Virtues.jpg|thumb|There is no [[vice]] that doth so cover a man with [[shame]] as to be found [[false]] and perfidious.]] * '''I confess that I have as vast contemplative [[ends]], as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all [[knowledge]] to be my province'''; and if I could purge it of two sorts of rovers, whereof the one with frivolous disputations, confutations, and verbosities, the other with blind experiments and auricular traditions and impostures, hath committed so many spoils, I [[hope]] I should bring in industrious observations, grounded conclusions, and profitable inventions and discoveries; the best state of that province.

We represent small sounds as great and deep; likewise divers trembling and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which set to the ear to do further the hearing greatly.

But if it be granted that the earth moves, it would seem more natural to suppose that there is no system at all, but scattered globes... than to constitute a system of which the sun is the centre. And this the consent of ages and of antiquity has rather embraced and approved. For the opinion concerning the motion of the earth is not new, but revived from the ancients... whereas the opinion that the sun is the centre of the world and immovable is altogether new... and was first introduced by Copernicus. ...But if the earth moves, the stars may either be stationary, as Copernicus thought or, as it is far more probable, and has been suggested by [[William Gilbert (astronomer)|Gilbert]], they may revolve each round its own centre in its own place, without any motion of its centre, as the earth itself does... But either way, there is no reason why there should not be stars above stars til they go beyond our sight. ** ''Descriptio Globi Intellectualis'' (1653, written ca. 1612) Ch. 6, as quoted in "Description of the Intellectual Globe," ''The Works of Francis Bacon'' (1889) [https://books.google.com/books?id=lsILAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA517 pp. 517-518,] Vol. 4, ed. {{w|James Spedding}}, {{w|Robert Leslie Ellis}}, [[w:Douglas Heath|Douglas Denon Heath]]. * Ne mireris, si vulgus verius loquatur quam honoratiores; quia etiam tutius loquitur. ** (Do not wonder, if the common people speak more truly than those of high rank; for they speak with more safety.) *** ''Exempla Antithetorum'', ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=C9cQAAAAYAAJ&q=&quot;Ne+mireris+si+vulgus+verius+loquatur+quam+honoratiores+quia+etiam+tutius+loquitur&quot;&pg=PA692#v=onepage IX.

[The age of antiquity is the youth of the world.]''' These times are the ancient times, when the world is ancient, and not those which we account ancient ''ordine retrogrado'', by a computation backward from ourselves. ** Book I, v, 8 * '''The greatest error of all the rest is the mistaking or misplacing of the last or farthest end of [[knowledge]]: for men have entered into a desire of learning and knowledge, sometimes upon a natural curiosity and inquisitive appetite; sometimes to entertain their minds with variety and delight; sometimes for ornament and reputation; and sometimes to enable them to victory of wit and contradiction; and most times for lucre and profession; and seldom sincerely to give a true account of their gift of reason, to the benefit and use of men''': as if there were sought in knowledge a couch whereupon to rest a searching and restless spirit; or a tarrasse, for a wandering and variable mind to walk up and down with a fair prospect; or a tower of state, for a proud mind to raise itself upon; '''or a fort or commanding ground, for strife and contention; or a shop, for profit or sale; and not a rich storehouse, for the glory of the Creator and the relief of man's estate.''' ** Book I, v, 11 * It is manifest that there is no danger at all in the proportion or quantity of knowledge, how large soever, lest it should make it swell or out-compass itself; no, but it is merely the quality of knowledge, which, be it in quantity more or less, if it be taken without the true corrective thereof, hath in it some nature of venom or malignity, and some effects of that venom, which is ventosity or swelling. This corrective spice, the mixture whereof maketh knowledge so sovereign, is charity, which the Apostle immediately addeth to the former clause; for so he saith, "Knowledge bloweth up, but charity buildeth up". ** Book I * The sun, which passeth through pollutions and itself remains as pure as before. ** Book II * Sacred and inspired divinity, the sabaoth and port of all men's labours and peregrinations. ** Book II * Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God. ** Book II * States as great engines move slowly. ** Book II * '''The use of this feigned history hath been to give some shadow of satisfaction to the mind of man in those points wherein the nature of things doth deny it, the world being in proportion inferior to the soul'''; by reason whereof there is, agreeable to the spirit of man, a more ample greatness, a more exact goodness, and a more absolute variety, than can be found in the nature of things. '''Therefore, because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical''': because true history propoundeth the successes and issues of actions not so agreeable to the merits of virtue and vice, therefore poesy feigns them more just in retribution, and more according to revealed providence: because true history representeth actions and events more ordinary, and less interchanged, therefore poesy endueth them with more rareness, and more unexpected and alternative variations: '''so as it appeareth that poesy serveth and conferreth to magnanimity, morality, and to delectation. And therefore it was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind, by submitting the shows of things to the desires of the mind; whereas reason doth buckle and bow the mind into the nature of things.''' ** Book II, iv, 2 * '''They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.''' ** Book II, vii, 5 * '''But men must know that in this theater of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.''' ** Book II, xx, 8 * We are much beholden to [[Niccolò Machiavelli|Machiavel]] and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do. ** Book II, xxi, 9 * The obliteration of the evil hath been practised by two means, some kind of redemption or expiation of that which is past, and an inception or account ''de novo'' for the time to come. But this part seemeth sacred and religious, and justly; for all good moral philosophy (as was said) is but a handmaid to religion. ** Book II, xxii, 14 * Only charity admitteth no excess. For so we see, aspiring to be like God in power, the angels transgressed and fell; ''Ascendam, et ero similis altissimo'': by aspiring to be like God in knowledge, man transgressed and fell; ''Eritis sicut Dii, scientes bonum et malum'': but by aspiring to a similitude of God in goodness or love, neither man nor angel ever transgressed, or shall transgress. ** Book II, XXII * For man seeketh in society comfort, use, and protection: and they be three wisdoms of divers natures, which do often sever: wisdom of the behaviour, wisdom of business, and wisdom of state. ** Book II, xxiii * Primum quaerite bona animi; caetera aut aderunt, aut non oberunt ** '''Seek first the virtues of the mind; and other things either will come, or will not be wanted''' ** Book II, xxxi * '''I could not be true and constant to the argument I handle, if I were not willing to go beyond others; but yet not more willing than to have others go beyond me again''': which may the better appear by this, that I have propounded my opinions naked and unarmed, not seeking to preoccupate the liberty of men's judgments by confutations. ** Book II * For the inquisition of Final Causes is barren, and like a virgin consecrated to God produces nothing. ** Book III, viii * Silence is the virtue of a fool. ** Book VI, xxxi * As we divided natural philosophy in general into the inquiry of [[w:Four causes|causes]], and productions of effects: so that part which concerneth the inquiry of causes we do subdivide according to the received and sound division of causes. The one part, which is [[Physics|physic]], inquireth and handleth the material and efficient causes; and the other, which is [[Metaphysics|metaphysic]], handleth the formal and final causes. ** Book VII, 3 * This misplacing hath caused a deficience, or at least a great improficience in the sciences themselves. For the handling of final causes, mixed with the rest in physical inquiries, hath intercepted the severe and diligent inquiry of all real and physical causes, and given men the occasion to stay upon these satisfactory and [[wiktionary:specious#Adjective|specious]] causes, to the great arrest and prejudice of further discovery. For this I find done not only by [[Plato]], who ever anchoreth upon that shore, but by [[Aristotle]], [[Galen]], and others which do usually likewise fall upon these flats of discoursing causes. ** Book VII, 7 * The [[w:Natural philosophy|natural philosophy]] of [[Democritus]] and some others, who did not suppose a mind or reason in the frame of things, but attributed the form thereof able to maintain itself to infinite essays or proofs of nature, which they term fortune, seemeth to me... in particularities of physical causes more real and better inquired than that of Aristotle and Plato; whereof both intermingled final causes, the one as a part of theology, and the other as a part of logic, which were the favourite studies respectively of both those persons. Not because those final causes are not true, and worthy to be inquired, being kept within their own province; but because their excursions into the limits of physical causes hath bred a vastness and solitude in that tract. ** Book VII, 7 * Neither did the dispensation of God vary in the times after our Saviour came into the world; for '''our Saviour himself did first show His power to subdue ignorance, by His conference with the priests and doctors of the law, before He showed His power to subdue nature by His miracles'''. And the coming of this Holy Spirit was chiefly figured and expressed in the similitude and gift of tongues, which are but vehicula scientiæ. * Touching the secrets of the heart and the successions of time, doth make a just and sound difference between the manner of the exposition of the Scriptures and all other books. For '''it is an excellent observation which hath been made upon the answers of our Saviour [[Christ]] to many of the questions which were propounded to Him, how that they are impertinent to the state of the question demanded: the reason whereof is, because not being like man, which knows man's thoughts by his words, but knowing man's thoughts immediately, He never answered their words, but their thoughts. Much in the like manner it is with the Scriptures''', which being written to the thoughts of men, and to the succession of all ages, with a foresight of all heresies, contradictions, differing estates of the Church, yea, and particularly of the elect, are not to be interpreted only according to the latitude of the proper sense of the place, and respectively towards that present occasion whereupon the words were uttered, or in precise congruity or contexture with the words before or after, or in contemplation of the principal scope of the place; but have in themselves, not only totally or collectively, but distributively in clauses and words, infinite springs and streams of doctrine to water the Church in every part. And therefore as the literal sense is, as it were, the main stream or river, so the moral sense chiefly, and sometimes the allegorical or typical, are they whereof the Church hath most use; not that I wish men to be bold in allegories, or indulgent or light in allusions: but that I do much condemn that interpretation of the Scripture which is only after the manner as men use to interpret a profane book. ** XXV.

Those on the other hand who have taken a contrary course, and asserted that absolutely nothing can be known — whether it were from hatred of the ancient sophists, or from uncertainty and fluctuation of mind, or even from a kind of fullness of learning, that they fell upon this opinion — have certainly advanced reasons for it that are not to be despised; but yet they have neither started from true principles nor rested in the just conclusion, zeal and affectation having carried them much too far.... <br /> Now my method, though hard to practice, is easy to explain; and it is this.

Beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.''' ** Aphorism 1 * The unassisted hand and the understanding left to itself possess but little power. Effects are produced by the means of instruments and helps, which the understanding requires no less than the hand; and as instruments either promote or regulate the motion of the hand, so those that are applied to the mind prompt or protect the understanding. ** Aphorism 2 * '''Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.''' ** Aphorism 3 * It would be an unsound fancy and self-contradictory to expect that things which have never yet been done can be done except by means which have never yet been tried. ** Aphorism 6 * '''The logic now in use serves rather to fix and give stability to the errors which have their foundation in commonly received notions than to help the search for truth. So it does more harm than good.''' ** Aphorism 7 * The cause and root of nearly all evils in the sciences is this — that while we falsely admire and extol the powers of the human mind we neglect to seek for its true helps. ** Aphorism 9 * '''There are and can be only two ways of searching into and discovering truth.''' The one flies from the senses and particulars to the most general axioms, and from these principles, the truth of which it takes for settled and immovable, proceeds to judgment and to the discovery of middle axioms. And this way is now in fashion. '''The other derives axioms from the senses and particulars, rising by a gradual and unbroken ascent, so that it arrives at the most general axioms last of all. This is the true way, but as yet untried.''' ** Aphorism 19 * '''There is a great difference between the Idols of the human mind and the Ideas of the divine.''' That is to say, between certain empty dogmas, and the true signatures and marks set upon the works of creation as they are found in nature. ** Aphorism 23 * '''It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument.''' But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active. ** Aphorism 24 * '''Further, it will not be amiss to distinguish the three kinds and, as it were, grades of ambition in mankind.''' The first is of those who desire to extend their own power in their native country, a vulgar and degenerate kind. The second is of those who labor to extend the power and dominion of their country among men. This certainly has more dignity, though not less covetousness. But if a man endeavor to establish and extend the power and dominion of the human race itself over the universe, his ambition (if ambition it can be called) is without doubt both a more wholesome and a more noble thing than the other two. Now the empire of man over things depends wholly on the arts and sciences. For '''we cannot command nature except by obeying her.''' ** Aphorism 129 * '''There are four classes of Idols which beset men's minds.''' To these for distinction's sake I have assigned names — calling the first class, [[w:Idolon tribus|Idols of the Tribe]]; the second, [[w:Idolon specus|Idols of the Cave]]; the third, Idols of the Market-Place; the fourth, Idols of the Theater. ** Aphorism 39 * '''The Idols of Tribe have their foundation in human nature itself, and in the tribe or race of men. For it is a false assertion that the sense of man is the measure of things.''' On the contrary, all perceptions as well of the sense as of the mind are according to the measure of the individual and not according to the measure of the universe. And '''the human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.''' ** Aphorism 41 * '''The Idols of the Cave are the idols of the individual man. For everyone (besides the errors common to human nature in general) has a cave or den of his own, which refracts and discolors the light of nature, owing either to his own proper and peculiar nature; or to his education and conversation with others'''; or to the reading of books, and the authority of those whom he esteems and admires; or to the differences of impressions, accordingly as they take place in a mind preoccupied and predisposed or in a mind indifferent and settled; or the like. So that the spirit of man (according as it is meted out to different individuals) is in fact a thing variable and full of perturbation, and governed as it were by chance. Whence it was well observed by Heraclitus that men look for sciences in their own lesser worlds, and not in the greater or common world. ** Aphorism 42 * '''There are also Idols formed by the intercourse and association of men with each other, which I call Idols of the Market Place, on account of the commerce and consort of men there.''' For it is by discourse that men associate, and words are imposed according to the apprehension of the vulgar. And therefore the ill and unfit choice of words wonderfully obstructs the understanding. Nor do the definitions or explanations wherewith in some things learned men are wont to guard and defend themselves, by any means set the matter right. '''But words plainly force and overrule the understanding, and throw all into confusion, and lead men away into numberless empty controversies and idle fancies.''' ** Aphorism 43 * '''Lastly, there are Idols which have immigrated into men's minds from the various dogmas of philosophies, and also from wrong laws of demonstration. These I call Idols of the Theater, because in my judgment all the received systems are but so many stage plays, representing worlds of their own creation after an unreal and scenic fashion.''' ** Aphorism 44 * '''The human understanding is of its own nature prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds.''' And though there be many things in nature which are singular and unmatched, yet it devises for them parallels and conjugates and relatives which do not exist. Hence the fiction that all celestial bodies move in perfect circles, spirals and dragons being (except in name) utterly rejected. ** Aphorism 45 * '''The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion''' (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it. And though there be a greater number and weight of instances to be found on the other side, '''yet these it either neglects and despises,''' or else by some distinction sets aside and rejects,''' in order that by this great and pernicious predetermination the authority of its former conclusions may remain inviolate.''' ** Aphorism 46 * ...it is the peculiar and perpetual error of the human understanding to be more moved and excited by affirmatives than by negatives... ** Aphorism 46 * The human understanding is moved by those things most which strike and enter the mind simultaneously and suddenly, and so fill the imagination; and then it feigns and supposes all other things to be somehow, though it cannot see how, similar to those few things by which it is surrounded. ** Aphorism 47 * The human understanding is unquiet; it cannot stop or rest, and still presses onward, but in vain. Therefore it is that '''we cannot conceive of any end or limit to the world, but always as of necessity it occurs to us that there is something beyond...''' But he is no less an unskilled and shallow philosopher who seeks causes of that which is most general, than he who in things subordinate and subaltern omits to do so. ** Aphorism 48 * '''But by far the greatest hindrance and aberration of the human understanding proceeds from the dullness, incompetency, and deceptions of the senses'''; in that things which strike the sense outweigh things which do not immediately strike it, though they be more important. Hence it is that speculation commonly ceases where sight ceases; insomuch that of things invisible there is little or no observation. ** Aphorism 50 * But the best demonstration by far is experience, if it go not beyond the actual experiment. ** Aphorism 70 * In the same manner as we are cautioned by religion to show our faith by our works we may very properly apply the principle to philosophy, and judge of it by its works; accounting that to be futile which is unproductive, and still more so, if instead of grapes and olives it yield but the thistle and thorns of dispute and contention. ** Aphorism 73 * '''It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed.''' ** Aphorism 81 * '''But by far the greatest obstacle to the progress of science and to the undertaking of new tasks and provinces therein is found in this — that men despair and think things impossible.''' ** Aphorism 92 * '''The beginning is from God: for the business which is in hand, having the character of good so strongly impressed upon it, appears manifestly to proceed from God, who is the author of good, and the Father of Lights.''' Now in divine operations even the smallest beginnings lead of a certainty to their end. And as it was said of spiritual things, "''The kingdom of God cometh not with observation''," so is it in all the greater works of Divine Providence; everything glides on smoothly and noiselessly, and the work is fairly going on "before men are aware that it has begun. Nor should the prophecy of [[Daniel]] be forgotten, touching the last ages of the world: —"''Many shall go to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased'';" clearly intimating that '''the thorough passage of the world''' (which now by so many distant voyages seems to be accomplished, or in course of accomplishment), '''and the advancement of the sciences, are destined by fate, that is, by Divine Providence, to meet in the same age.''' ** Aphorism 93 * '''Those who have handled sciences have been either men of experiment or men of dogmas. The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. But the bee takes a middle course: it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.''' Not unlike this is the true business of philosophy; for it neither relies solely or chiefly on the powers of the mind, nor does it take the matter which it gathers from natural history and mechanical experiments and lay it up in the memory whole, as it finds it, but lays it up in the understanding altered and digested. '''Therefore from a closer and purer league between these two faculties, the experimental and the rational (such as has never yet been made), much may be hoped.''' ** Aphorism 95 * '''No one has yet been found so firm of mind and purpose as resolutely to compel himself to sweep away all theories and common notions, and to apply the understanding, thus made fair and even, to a fresh examination of particulars.''' Thus it happens that human knowledge, as we have it, is a mere medley and ill-digested mass, made up of much credulity and much accident, and also of the childish notions which we at first imbibed. ** Aphorism 97 * '''Another argument of hope may be drawn from this — that some of the inventions already known are such as before they were discovered it could hardly have entered any man's head to think of; they would have been simply set aside as impossible.''' For in conjecturing what may be men set before them the example of what has been, and divine of the new with an imagination preoccupied and colored by the old; which way of forming opinions is very fallacious, for '''streams that are drawn from the springheads of nature do not always run in the old channels.''' ** Aphorism 109 * '''There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value; whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.''' ** Aphorism 111 * '''Let men learn (as we have said above) the difference that exists between the idols of the human mind, and the ideas of the Divine mind. The former are mere arbitrary abstractions; the latter the true marks of the Creator on his creatures, as they are imprinted on, and defined in matter, by true and exquisite touches.''' Truth, therefore, and utility are here perfectly identical. ** Aphorism 124 * Again, we should notice the force, effect, and consequences of inventions, which are nowhere more conspicuous than in those three which were unknown to the ancients; namely, '''printing, gunpowder, and the compass.''' For '''these three have changed the appearance and state of the whole world; first in literature, then in warfare, and lastly in navigation''': and innumerable changes have been thence derived, so that '''no empire, sect, or star, appears to have exercised a greater power and influence on human affairs than these mechanical discoveries.''' ** Aphorism 129 ==== Book II ==== [[File:M51 whirlpool galaxy black hole.jpg|thumb|[[Truth]] will sooner come out from [[error]] than from [[confusion]].]] * '''Truth will sooner come out from error than from confusion.''' ** Aphorism 20 * Above all, every relation must be considered as suspicious, which depends in any degree upon religion, as the prodigies of [[Livy]]: And no less so, everything that is to be found in the writers of natural magic or alchemy, or such authors, who seem, all of them, to have an unconquerable appetite for falsehood and fable. ** Aphorism 29 * [N]ot only must we seek the measure of motions and actions by themselves, but much more in comparison; for this is of excellent use and very general application. Now we find that the flash of a gun is seen sooner than its report is heard... and this is owing it seems to the motion of light being more rapid than that of sound. We find to that visible images are received by the sight faster than they are dismissed; thus the strings of the violin, when struck by the finger, are to appearance doubled and tripled, because the new image is received before the old one is gone; which is also why the reason why rings being spun round look like globes, and a lighted torch, carried hastily at night, seems to have a tail. And it was upon this inequality of motions in point of velocity that [[Galileo Galilei|Galileo]] built his theory of flux and reflux of the sea; supposing that the earth revolved faster than the water could follow; and that the water was therefore first gathered in a heap and then fell down, as we see in a basin of water moved quickly. But this he devised upon an assumption which cannot be allowed, viz. that the earth moves; and also without being well informed as to the sexhorary motion of the tide. ** Aphorism 46 * Since my logic aims to teach and instruct the understanding, not that it may with the slender tendrils of the mind snatch at and lay hold of abstract notions (as the common logic does), but that it may in very truth dissect nature, and discover the virtues and actions of bodies, with their laws as determined in matter; so that this science flows not merely from the nature of the mind, but also from the nature of things. ** Aphorism 52 * To God, truly, the Giver and Architect of Forms, and it may be to the angels and higher intelligences, it belongs to have an affirmative knowledge of forms immediately, and from the first contemplation.

He inverts the order of mental Evolution when saying that "the first Creation of God was the light of the sense; the last was the light of the reason; and his Sabbath work ever since is the illumination of the Spirit." It is just the reverse. **[[Helena Blavatsky]] in "[[The Secret Doctrine]]" Vol. 1, (1888) p. 481 * The "Baconian" sciences were the kind Francis Bacon had in mind when he issued a call to revitalize science by basing it on craftsmen's knowledge of nature. Bacon is remembered as the most effective critic of the traditional learning promulgated the elite institutions of his day. ...Bacon advocated compiling a "history of arts," or encyclopedia of crafts knowledge... ** [[Clifford D. Conner]], ''A People's History of Science'' (2005) *"3.7" (Bacon's stage in evolution); 7 4 4 6 3 (Major rays) **[[Benjamin Creme]] in ''Maitreya's Mission Vol 1'', (1986) * This is unquestionably the nature of the [[Inductive reasoning|principle of induction]] as proposed by Lord Bacon. Its useful and successful application, however, to the various departments of knowledge,—and there is scarcely any department to which, under suitable modifications, it may not be advantageously applied,—requires much care, attention, and assiduous patience. Bacon, therefore, employs the chief part of the first book of the ''Novum Organum'' in exposing the various prejudices and futile anticipations, which he calls the idols of the human mind, in contradistinction to the ideas of the divine mind, or those impressions of truth which are stamped upon the various elements and orders of creation. These idols he ranges under the four general classes, which he quaintly but expressively denominates Idols of the ''Tribe'', Idols of the ''Den'', Idols of the ''Forum'', and Idols of the ''Theatre''. The first class of idols, or prejudices, he represents as naturally inherent in the race of men, on account of the narrowness and imperfection of their views; the second, as peculiar to individuals, and arising from their peculiar habits and pursuits, hence entitled idols of the den or cave; the third, as springing from the mutual intercourse of mankind with each other, hence called idols of the forum or market; and the fourth, as originating in the false and fantastic theories of philosophers, exhibited from age to age as so many scenic representations on the stage of the intellectual world, and therefore appropriately styled idols of the theatre. ** John Davies (D.D., Hon. Canon of Durham), ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=6-VhAAAAcAAJ The Handmaid, or, The Pursuits of Literature and Philosophy, Considered as Subservient to the Interests of Morality and Religion: Five Dissertations]'' (1841) *His achievement was not the less great because it was indirect. His philosophical works, though little read now, "moved the intellects which moved the world." He made himself the eloquent voice of the optimism and resolution of the Renaissance. Never was any man so great a stimulus to other thinkers... The whole tenor and career of British thought have followed the philosophy of Bacon. His tendency to conceive the world in Democritean mechanical terms gave to his secretary, Hobbes, the starting-point for a thorough-going materialism; his inductive metbod gave to Locke the idea of an empirical psychology, bound by observation and freed from theology and metaphysics; and his emphasis on "commodities" and "fruits" found formulation in Bentham's identification of the useful and the good. Wherever the spirit of control has overcome the spirit of resignation, Bacon's influence has been felt. He is the voice of all those Europeans who have changed a continent from a forest into a treasure-land of art and science, and have made their little peninsula the center of the world... Everything is possible to man. Time is young; give us some little centuries, and we shall control and remake all things. We shall perhaps at last learn the noblest lesson of all, that man must not fight man, but must make war only on the obstacles that nature offers to the triumph of man. **[[w:Will Durant|Will Durant]], [[w:The Story of Philosophy|''The Story of Philosophy: the Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers'']] (1926) * For Bacon as for [[Martin Luther|Luther]], "knowledge that tendeth but to satisfaction, is but as a courtesan, which is for pleasure, and not for fruit or generation." Its concern is not "satisfaction, which men call truth," but "operation," the effective procedure. The "true end, scope or office of knowledge" does not consist in "any plausible, delectable, reverend or admired discourse, or any satisfactory arguments, but in effecting and working, and in discovery of particulars not revealed before, for the better endowment and help of man's life." There shall be neither mystery nor any desire to reveal mystery. ** [[Max Horkheimer]] and [[Theodor W. Adorno]], ''[[Dialectic of Enlightenment]]'' (1947), p. 2 * ''Das Wissen, das Macht ist, kennt keine Schranken, weder in der Versklavung der Kreatur noch in der Willfähigkeit gegen die Herren der Welt''. ** Knowledge, which is power, knows no limits, either in its enslavement of creation or in its deference to worldly masters. *** [[Max Horkheimer]] and [[Theodor W. Adorno]], ''[[Dialectic of Enlightenment]]'' (1947), p. 2 * Francis Bacon long ago called attention to the play of predispositions or prejudices in man's life when he wrote of four "Idols," or types of false opinion, that man must avoid if he wishes to attain sound judgements.<br />...1. ''The idols of the tribe'' are those false opinions which, by the very nature of man himself, are likely to distort and discolor his judgements. Bacon recognized "the mind" as an active agent that tended to project its own whims and desires into its surroundings... therefore... man, collectively speaking, tends to be anthropocentric or "man-centered" in his investigations of nature.<br />2. ''The idols of the cave'' are those errors which the individual makes in consequence of his peculiar or personal temperament and background. Each individual has been inevitably, if not unduly, influenced by certain traditions, authorities, and the like which have been especially admired in the particular "cave" or locality where his values came about as a reflection of what his associates valued.<br />3. ''The idols of the market place'' are those errors which arise as a result of the ways we confuse one another, especially through the nonrigorous and vague or ambiguous use of language. Bacon recognized that language does not necessarily reflect either the content or the structure of reality, that it is quite possible to create "names" for nonexistent things. Men may think that reason governs the use of words; but in reality it is often words which govern reason.<br />4. ''The idols of the theater'' are those errors or false opinions imbedded in an uncritically accepted tradition. Thus, pride of race, exaggerated nationalism, or perverted patriotism may become the essential traditions of a culture; and in some communities children grow up in a climate of social snobbery, narrow sectarianism in religion, and strict partisanism in politics.<br />Bacon believed that "the power of reason" gave man the ability to rise above prejudice. ** H. Gordon Hullfish, Philip G. Smith, ''Reflective Thinking: The Method of Education'' (1961) * Francis Bacon had essayed to sum up the past of physical science, and to indicate the path which it must follow if its great destinies were to be fulfilled. And though the attempt was just such a magnificent failure as might have been expected from a man of great endowments, who was so singularly devoid of scientific insight that he could not understand the value of the work already achieved by the true instaurators of physical science; yet the majestic eloquence and the fervid [[wiktionary:vaticination#Noun|vaticinations]] of one who was conspicuous alike by the greatness of his rise and the depth of his fall, drew the attention of all the world to the 'new birth of Time.' ** [[Thomas Henry Huxley]], ''[[The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century]]'' (1889) * [[René Descartes|Descartes]] was an eminent mathematician, and it would seem that the bent of his mind led him to overestimate the value of deductive reasoning from general principles, as much as Bacon had underestimated it. ** Thomas Henry Huxley, The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century (1889) * To anyone who knows the business of investigation practically, Bacon's notion of establishing a company of investigators to work for 'fruits,' as if the pursuit of knowledge were a kind of mining operation and only required well-directed picks and shovels, seems very strange. ** [[Thomas Henry Huxley]], [[The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century]] (1889) *The Head of the Seventh Ray is the Master the [[Comte de St. Germain]], known to history in the eighteenth century, whom we sometimes call the Master Rakoczy, as he is the last survivor of [[W:Rákóczi|that royal house]]. He was [[Francis Bacon]], [[W:Earl of Verulam|Lord Verulam]], in the seventeenth century, Robertus the monk in the sixteenth, [[w:John Hunyadi|Hunyadi Janos]] in the fifteenth, [[W:Christian Rosenkreuz|Christian Rosenkreuz]] in the fourteenth, and [[W:Roger Bacon|Roger Bacon]] in the thirteenth; he is the Hungarian Adept of The Occult World. Further back in time he was the great Neoplatonist [[Proclus]] and before that [[w:Saint Alban|St. Alban]]. p. 258 **[[C. W. Leadbeater]] in [https://www.theosophy.world/sites/default/files/ebooks/MastersandthePath.pdf ''The Masters and the Path''] (1925) * Since... it appears that [[Aristotle]] very distinctly recognized the cardinal principles of the Baconian philosophy, why... has the world credited Bacon with a great reform in the very attacks he made on Aristotle? The answer is simple. Bacon did not attack the Method which Aristotle ''taught''; indeed, he was very imperfectly acquainted with it. He attacked the Method which the followers of Aristotle ''practised''. ** [[George Henry Lewes]], ''[[Aristotle: a Chapter from the History of Science]]'' (1864) *Bacon has been accused of servility, of dissimulation, of various base motives, and their filthy brood of base actions, all unworthy of his high birth, and incompatible with his great wisdom, and the estimation in which he was held by the noblest spirits of the age. It is true that there were men in his own time, and will be men in all times, who are better pleased to count spots in the sun than to rejoice in its glorious brightness. Such men have openly libelled him, like Dewes and Weldon, whose falsehoods were detected as soon as uttered, or have fastened upon certain ceremonious compliments and dedications, the fashion of his day, as a sample of his servility, passing over his noble letters to the Queen, his lofty contempt for the Lord Keeper Puckering, his open dealing with Sir Robert Cecil, and with others, who, powerful when he was nothing, might have blighted his opening fortunes for ever, forgetting his advocacy of the rights of the people in the face of the court, and the true and honest counsels, always given by him, in times of great difficulty, both to Elizabeth and her successor. When was a "base sycophant" loved and honoured by piety such as that of Herbert, Tennison, and Rawley, by noble spirits like Hobbes, Ben Jonson, and Selden, or followed to the grave, and beyond it, with devoted affection such as that of Sir Thomas Meautys. **Basil Montagu . Essays and Selections. pp. 325–326. ISBN-13 : 978-1164636656. (1837) * The doctrine of the ''Novum Organum'' may be summed up, from our point of view, as the sovereignty of technique. It represents, not merely a preoccupation with technique combined with a recognition that technical knowledge is never the whole of knowledge, but the assertion that technique and some material for it to work upon are all that matters. Nevertheless, this is not itself the beginning of the new intellectual fashion, it is only an early and unmistakable intimation of it: the fashion itself may be said to have sprung from the exaggeration of Bacon's hopes rather than from the character of his beliefs. ** [[Michael Oakeshott]], "Rationalism in Politics" (1947), published in ''Rationalism in Politics and other essays'' (1962) * If parts allure thee, think how Bacon shin'd<br />The wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind. ** [[Alexander Pope]], ''[[Essay on Man]]'' (1732-1734) * He never took a pride, as in the humour of some, in putting any of his guests, or that otherwise discours'd with him, to the blush; but was ever ready to countenance and encourage their abilities, whatever they were. Neither was he one that would appropriate the discourse to himself alone, but left a liberty to the rest of the company to take their turns; wherein he took pleasure to hear a man speak in his own faculty, and would draw him on, and allure him to discourse upon such a subject. And for himself, he despised no man's observations; but would light his torch at any man's candle. ** [[w:William Rawley|William Rawley]], "The Life Of the Honourable Author" in ''Lord Bacon's Essays, &c.'' Vol. II (London: 1720), pp. xiii–xiv. Cf. [[w:Francis Osborne|Francis Osborne]], ''Advice to a Son'': "Thus he [Lord Bacon] did not only learn himself, but gratify such as taught him; who looked upon their callings as honoured through his notice". * When Bacon, who commended [[w:Henry_VII_of_England|Henry VII]] for protecting the tenant right of the small farmer, and pleaded in the House of Commons for more drastic land legislation, wrote "Wealth is like muck. It is not good but if it be spread," he was expressing in an epigram what was the commonplace of every writer on politics from [[w:John_Fortescue_(judge)|Fortescue]] at the end of the fifteenth century to [[w:James_Harrington_(author)|Harrington]] in the middle of the seventeenth. ** [[R. H. Tawney]], ''[[The Acquisitive Society]]'' (1920); also see Bacon's [http://books.google.com/books?id=Q2W1AAAAIAAJ& ''History of the Reign of King Henry VII''] (1622) * The Lord Chancellor was not particularly interested in the writings of the humanists. ** Carlos G. Noreña. 1907. Juan Luis Vives. Springer Science & Business Media. 241. * The case of the Baconians is not won until it has been proved that the substitution of covetousness for wantlessness, or an ascending spiral of desires for a stable requirement of necessities, leads to a happier condition. ** [[Richard Weaver]], ''Ideas Have Consequences'' (Chicago: 1948), pp. 14-15 * If Bacon had weighed well all that Science had achieved in his time, and had laid down a complete scheme of rules for scientific research, so far as they could be collected from the lights of that age, it would still be incumbent upon the philosophical world to augment as well as preserve the inheritance which he left; by combining with his doctrines such new views as the advances of later times cannot fail to produce or suggest; and by endeavouring to provide, for every kind of truth, methods of research as effective as those to which we owe the clearest and surest portions of our knowledge. Such a renovation and extension of the reform of philosophy appears to belong peculiarly to our own time. ** [[William Whewell]], ''[[History of the Inductive Sciences]]'' (1837) * The Great Reform of Philosophy and Method, in which Bacon so eloquently called upon men to unite their exertions in his day, has, even in ours, been very imperfectly carried into effect. And even if his plan had been fully executed, it would now require to be pursued and extended. ** William Whewell, ''History of the Inductive Sciences'' (1837) * The ''Novum Organon'' of Bacon was suitably ushered into the world by his ''Advancement of Learning''; and any attempt to continue and extend his Reform of the Methods and Philosophy of Science may, like his, be most fitly preceded by, and founded upon, a comprehensive Survey of the existing state of human knowledge. ** [[William Whewell]], ''[[History of the Inductive Sciences]]'' (1837) {{Disputed begin}} == Disputed == * '''Imagination was given to man to compensate for what he is not, and a sense of humor to console him for what he is.''' ** Attributed to Bacon without citation of work in ''Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists'' (2007) by James Geary, p. 112; this is sometimes attributed to others, also without citation of works, but is most often quoted as an anonymous aphorism, with no published sources yet located prior to ''The Deke Quarterly'', Vol. 56, No. 3 (1938) {{Disputed end}} {{Misattributed begin}} ==Misattributed== * Choose the best life; for habit will make it pleasant ** [[Epictetus]], Fragment 144 * For behavior, men learn it, as they take diseases, one of another. ** In an essay by [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]], "Solitude and Society" in ''The Atlantic Monthly'', Vol. 1, (December 1857), p. 228, this follows a statement clearly attributed to Bacon, which might be a paraphrase.

This is needed because a lot of pages and templates that exist on other wikis do not exist here. Also, this can also be used for importing lost pages from dead wikis. (e.g. simple English Wikiquote) This right would be appointed by bureaucrats. Here are the user rights it is planned to contain so far: {{:User:Ilovemydoodle/proposal/usergroups/revision importer}} Here are the reasons for each right: * <code>import</code> — Self-explanatory. * <code>importupload</code> — Self-explanatory. Also helpful for mass-importing pages and in cases where revisions need to manually be modified. * <code>mergehistory</code> — This is needed if a template that has been imported, has been updated on another wiki. * <code>tboverride</code> — If an imported page is on the title blacklist. * <code>autoconfirmed</code> — Potential rate limit issues. (this might not be neccessary) * <code>delete-redirect</code> — Similar to <code>mergehistory</code> * <code>suppressredirect</code> — Same as <code>delete-redirect</code> * <code>oathauth-enable</code> — Security reasons as with other rights. === Examples === Here are some examples where this right would preform better than regular importers or administrators. ==== 1 ==== Let’s say that Person 1 ''manually'' imports Page 1 to Page 2, then Person 2 (who is a revision importer) wants to properly import the revisions, but in between these two events, Person 3 has modified Page 1, this would mean that if it was imported traditionally it would either fail, or would appear to succeed, but all revisions in-between wouldn't be valid for this wiki. (e.g. if a template has to have all mentions of 'Wikipedia' changed to 'Wikiquote', this is pretty obvious, but you could imagine more subtle issues). Then, if someone didn't like certain changes that were made, and rolled-back to an earlier revision, the new versiom wouldn't be valid for this wiki. With this type of importing, the revision import could manually edit the revisions before importing, so all revision would be valid. This could be done via the following process: # Import the original page (from the other wiki) to Page 3. # Merge all revisions in Page 3 (before Person 1 copied Page 1 to Page 2) into Page 2. # Redirect Page 2 to Page 3. # Merge all revisions before the redirect in Page 2 into Page 3. # Use <code>delete-redirect</code> to delete Page 2. # Use <code>supressredirect</code> to move Page 3 to Page 2. === Comments === – [[User:Ilovemydoodle|Ilovemydoodle]] (Not a sockpuppet) ([[User_talk:Ilovemydoodle|talk]] / [[Special:EmailUser/User:Ilovemydoodle|e-mail]]) 01:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC) :{{ping|AC9016|Nihonjoe|Antandrus|Koavf|Stang|ShakespeareFan00|Rubbish computer|Dave Braunschweig|Atcovi|Ottawahitech}} Thoughts? – [[User:Ilovemydoodle|Ilovemydoodle]] (Not a sockpuppet) ([[User_talk:Ilovemydoodle|talk]] / [[Special:EmailUser/User:Ilovemydoodle|e-mail]]) 01:29, 18 July 2022 (UTC) Why are you wasting everyone's time by repeating the exact same discussion as above which will lead to the exact same conclusion? This is an terrible idea for a user group - it is completely redundant to the existing "import" group, contains a load of disjointed and disconnected rights that have no business being bundled together and per the discussion above the proposer is unable to justify why this group should exist or what purpose it is supposed to serve. Going through the list of rights: * <code>import</code> — Already in the import group * <code>importupload</code> — Already in the import group * <code>override-export-depth</code> — Not enabled anywhere for any user group, even stewards. Has the ability to crash medium to large wikis, so the devs are unlikely to approve enabling. The proposer doesn't appear to understand what this does, it has nothing to do with templates, it's intended for content pages, when you export a page with this setting enabled it also exports all linked pages, and all pages linked to those pages and so on until you hit the depth limit. * <code>mergehistory</code> — Unneeded, Import can already merge page histories, extremely dangerous and can easily make a huge mess, should remain restricted to administrators. * <code>tboverride</code> — Unneeded. Not a frequently occurring issue, if a title is deemed unsuitable by the blacklist it can just be imported to a different title, pages don't need to have the same name everywhere. * <code>noratelimit</code> — Unneeded, no-one should be importing pages so quickly they hit the rate limit. * <code>autoconfirmed</code> — Unneeded - everyone even being considered for import user rights should be autoconfirmed. * <code>delete-redirect</code> — Unneeded, not related to importing pages, only included because the proposer apparently doesn't understand how importing pages works. * <code>suppressredirect</code> — Unneeded, not related to importing pages, only included because the proposer apparently doesn't understand how importing pages works. * <code>oathauth-enable</code> — Already in the import group The "proposed" user rights are not possible to implement (the database doesn't track which revisions have been imported) would not get past wmf legal (you cannot view any kind of deleted content without passing an RFA or equivalent process) and duplicate existing admin functionality. My opinion is that the proposer here does not understand what they are proposing, how user rights work, how importing work and has no idea what this user group is supposed to be used for. I am unimpressed that rather than answering the question "what is this supposed to be used for and how is it different from importer/administrator rights" they have decided to shut down the discussion above and start another one on exactly the same thing. I am even more unimpressed that they have left another "notice" telling people that unless they are coming here to tell them how amazing their idea is they are unwelcome to comment.

Autoconfirmed is unnecessary. It shouldn't affect rate limit, for autoconfirmed users. Merge history is not needed, although I'm unsure if this is included within importer - you can just import the page again, or update it manually for situations where it's updated on one wiki but not another - which is rare. tboverride - not sure when an imported page would ever be on the title blacklist?

Please take a moment to appreciate the Affiliate Representatives and Analysis Committee members for taking part in this process and helping to grow the Board of Trustees in capacity and diversity. These hours of volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you for your participation. Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia. What can voters do now?

This article is not about wiki markup; see [[Wikiquote:How to edit a page]] for that, nor is this article about style; see [[Wikiquote:Manual of Style]] for that. This article is just a summary of what some fairly clean, simple Wikiquote entries look like. For more complicated entries, you may want to copy the markup of an existing entry you like the looks of. '''For an explanation by example, see [[Wikiquote:Templates]].''' == General == All Wikiquote pages should start with a brief introduction in which significant terms are linked to Wikipedia. Most Wikiquote pages should end with an ''External links'' section containing a "Wikipedia box", which is created using the <tt>{{[[Template:wikipedia|wikipedia]]}}</tt> or <tt>{{[[Template:wikipedia|wikipedia]]|''Article name''}}</tt> templates. If such a box does appear, it should be the first thing in the section. Last in that section should be a [[:Category:Categories|category]]. To place a page in a category, use <tt><nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>''Category name'']]</tt>. ''All'' Wikiquote articles should have a category. == People pages == Many Wikiquote entries are quotes said or written by a person. === Introductory material === A person article should begin with a short biographical note (1-4 sentences is usual). This note should have the person's name in bold, and should link the name to the Wikipedia article, if there is one. If known, it should have date of birth and date of death. It is popular to link words in the introduction to other Wikiquote or Wikipedia pages. === Sections (people) === All the sections described here are level-2 sections (<tt><nowiki>==</nowiki></tt>). The following sections might not all appear, but when they do, they appear in the order specified, and containing the content specified: * ''Quotes'': Quotations with a definite, [[Wikiquote:Quotability#Verification_factor|verifiable source]] (speech, book, interview or similar). ** If there are several quotations from the same source, it is possible to make a level-3 subsection and group the quotes from that source into this subsection. It is possible, though not generally recommended, to go even deeper: one might open a level-3 subsection for "Fiction books", and put specific books under that header. ** When sourcing, be as accurate as possible: specify the source, the place within the source (if reasonable) and if the source is online, link to it. ISBNs, chapter numbers, editions and page numbers all ease the work of future accuracy checking. * ''Attributed'': Quotations sourced to a ''reputable'' secondary source but not to the author or work. More information [[Wikiquote:Sourced_and_Unsourced_sections#Attributed|here]]. * ''Misattributed'': Quotations which are popularly, or notably, attributed to the person but sourced to another person or work. More information [[Wikiquote:Sourced_and_Unsourced_sections#Misttributed|here]]. * ''Criticisms'' or ''About'': Quotations about the person. * ''See also'': Other wikiquote pages which relate to the person. Note that in some cases, this section can come first (especially when a literary work has been broken out from the page, and the person is well known for that work). * ''External links'': Links about the person, with a special emphasis on places where more of their words can be found. Add <tt>{{[[Template:wikisource author|wikisource author]]}}</tt> if the author has a page at [[wikisource:Wikisource:Authors|Wikisource]]. Relevant blogs, links to archives of columns and the like are also appropriate. ====Unsourced==== Quotes popularly, or notably, attributed to a person, but for which the editor cannot find an adequate source appear on the article's discussion page. More information [[Wikiquote:Sourced_and_Unsourced_sections#Unsourced|here]]. In the past, some articles had two major sections: [[Wikiquote:Sourced and Unsourced sections|"Sourced" and "Unsourced"]] (sometimes called "Attributed" in older pages). Transfer unsourced quotes on these pages to the article's discussion page. Pages consisting solely of unsourced quotes will be nominated for deletion or given a PROD tag. === Formatting of quotes (people) === Quotes should be formatted as a bulleted list, each quote on its own bullet, with no quotation marks. Citations and any notes, such as translation or context, should follow in a sub-bullet. If a quote is not in English, it should be ''italicized''. In that case, especially for non-Latin scripts, a transliteration is often useful. == Literature == The introduction to quotes from a literary work should contain the year it was made in, and the author (or authors). In case the author has no Wikiquote page, consider quoting from that work in a new page about the author and making a redirect from the work's name to the author's page. If appropriate, a link to [[w:Project Gutenberg|Gutenberg]] or the <tt>{{[[Template:wikisource|wikisource]]}}</tt> template should be put in the ''External links'' section. === Formatting of quotes (literature) === Quotes are formatted like a [[#Sections (people)|sourced person's quotes]]. In the ''Sourced'' section, give chapter (section, part) numbers and names. == Films == {{shortcut|WQ:FILMS}} For pages for quotes from a film, the introduction should link to the entry in Wikipedia, and specify the year the movie was made in, the director, the writer and sometimes the stars. Next should follow the tagline, centered and bolded, followed by a small [[Help:Editing#Links|internal link]] to the "Tagline" section, if there is one. === Sections (films) === All sections here are level-2 sections (<tt>==</tt>). Not all must appear, but when they appear, they must do so in the order specified. * ''Character'': Each major character should have a section, under which those things said by the character alone should be grouped. * ''Others'': Minor characters can be grouped into one section. * ''Dialogues'': Those quotes which are in the form of a dialogue belong here. * ''Taglines'': If there is more than one tagline for the movie, then all taglines belong in this section. * ''Cast'': A bulleted list with for the major cast. Usually, the character's name is not a link. The actor's name might be a link to wikiquote (if such a page exists) or a link to wikipedia. * ''External links'': This should almost always contain the <tt>{{[[Template:imdb title|imdb title]]|number_in_URL|film_title}}</tt> template. === Formatting of quotes (films) === Quotes in ''Character'' sections should be formatted like [[#Formatting of quotes (people)|people quotes]]. Quotes in the ''Others'' section are bulleted. There are two styles for the ''Others'' quotes: either [[#Theme pages|theme style]], or like this: :<tt><nowiki>* '''Character''': Text</nowiki></tt> The latter seems more popular. Quotes in ''Dialogues'' should be formatted like [[#Formatting of quotes (TV)|TV quotes]]. ''Taglines'' should be formatted exactly as they appear, with capitalisation intact and no added quotation marks. == Television == : ''See also [[Wikiquote:Guide to layout/Television formatting]].'' The introduction for a television show should contain the year it started (and, if appropriate, the year it ended). === Sections (TV) === Level-2 headers should be used for seasons: <tt>==Season ''n''==</tt>. For non-American TV shows, often the term "series" is used instead. Level-3 headers should be used for individual episodes: <tt><nowiki>===''Italicized Name''</nowiki> [''n''.''m'']===</tt>, where ''n'' is the season and ''m'' the episode number. A separate section at the top of the page can be used for "recurring quotes" or "catch-phrases" (this is where quotes from the theme song belong, too&mdash;if there are only theme song quotes, the section can be called "Theme song"). === Formatting of quotes (TV) === All TV quotes are considered to be a dialog (even when containing just one character). Dialog segments within each episode are separated by so-called "half-width rules": <tt><nowiki><hr width="50%"/></nowiki></tt>. Each dialog quote is formatted as: :<tt><nowiki>: '''Character Name''': Text</nowiki></tt> For characters with Wikipedia pages, the first time a character appears in an episode it should be linked to the Wikipedia page. Context lines should be formatted as: : <tt><nowiki>: ''[The characters are doing something.]''</nowiki></tt> while stage direction should be formatted in-line: : <tt><nowiki>: '''Character''': ''[silently]'' No.</nowiki></tt> In general, the use of too much context or stage direction is discouraged. Quotes should be ordered as they appear in the episode. For names which are not given explicitly, describe the character using "Title Case": : <tt><nowiki>: '''Little Girl''': Why?</nowiki></tt> == Theme pages == Unless there is a good reason, the introduction for a theme page may be nothing more than "Quotes about/related to ''Theme''", where "Theme" is made a link to Wikipedia. === Sections (themes) === There are two styles for theme sections: all themes with no section, or a division into [[#Sections (people)|Sourced/Attributed quotes]]. === Formatting of quotes (themes) === Quotes should appear sorted alphabetically ''by author'', except where historical development of the subject makes chronological order particularly appropriate. Quotes should be formatted as a bulleted list like [[#Formatting of quotes (people)|people quotes]]: in a bulleted list with no quotation marks. Citations and notes, such as translation, should follow in a sub-bullet, begining with the author. If a quote is not in English, it should be ''italicized''. It is highly recommended to add the quotation to the source's page, link to that page, and keep comments and context there instead of on theme pages. == Proverbs == Proverbs are formatted like [[#Formatting of quotes (people)|people quotes]]: no quotation marks, in the original language, transliteration/translation, and any other information. A common sub-bullet here is "Possible interpretation". Proverbs should also be sorted alphabetically&mdash;and because there are many of them, it is common to disable the regular Table of Contents mechanism by using <tt><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></tt> (those are two underscores on either side) and writing a custom TOC based on a letter. == Obsolete practices == There are several practices which were once popular. The Wikiquote community has since rejected them, but still they remain in old pages which have not been properly updated. You are encouraged to reformat such articles to conform to the new guidelines, and ''strongly discouraged'' from continuing to follow them: * Quotation marks around quotations in non-[[#Theme pages|Theme]] articles. * TV show quotes organized by character. * The title of the page used as the first header (usually level-1 or level-2 header): this was especially popular in [[#People pages|people pages]]. * "Verified" heading. Use "Sourced" instead, and only include quotations from verifiable sources. * "Unsourced" section. Don't add unsourced quotations to Wikiquote. If you are sure the quotation is valid, but cannot find a legitimate source, ask for help on the article's talk page or on [[Wikiquote:Reference desk]]. Unsourced quotations are subject to deletion without warning. * "Almost certainly spurious" and other such distinctions. Add such a quote to "Misattributed", and add notes documenting research about the quote's authenticity. == Boldface == There is no consensus on the use of '''boldface''' in quotes. Some use it to emphasize well known quotes within a more complete context, but there is no consensus for this.

Moreover sleeping in the open is only allowed in one thoroughfare in London. If the policeman on his beat finds you asleep, it is his [[duty]] to wake you up. That is because it has been found that a sleeping man succumbs to the cold more easily than a man who is awake, and England could not let one of her sons die in the street. So you are at [[liberty]] to spend the night in the street, providing it is a sleepless night. But there is one road where the homeless are allowed to sleep. Strangely, it is the [[w:Thames Embankment|Thames Embankment]], not far from the Houses of Parliament. We advise all those visitors to England who would like to see the reverse side of our apparent prosperity to go and look at those who habitually sleep on the Embankment, with their filthy tattered clothes, their bodies wasted by disease, a living reprimand to the Parliament in whose [[shadow]] they lie. ** "Beggars in London", in ''Le Progrès Civique'' (12 January 1929), translated into English by Janet Percival and Ian Willison * This means no more than ''vae victis'' - '''woe to the creed that is not backed by machine-guns!''' **Review of ''The Two Carlyles'' by Osbert Burdett, in ''The Adelphi'' (March 1931) *To the well-fed it seems cowardly to complain of tight boots, because the well-fed live in a different world-a world where, if your boots are tight, you can change them; their minds are not warped by petty discomfort. But below a certain income the petty crowds the large out of existence; one's preoccupation is not with [[art]] or [[religion]], but with bad [[food]], hard beds, drudgery and the sack. '''[[Serenity]] is impossible to a poor man in a cold country''' and even his active thoughts will go in more or less sterile complaint. ** Review of ''Hunger and Love'' by Lionel Britton, in ''The Adelphi'' (April 1931) *And once, in spite of the men who gripped him by each shoulder, he stepped slightly aside to avoid a puddle on the path. It is curious, but till that moment I had never realised what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. '''This man was not dying, he was alive just as we were alive. All the organs of his body were working – bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming – all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the grey walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned – reasoned even about puddles.''' He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; and in two minutes, with a sudden snap, one of us would be gone – one mind less, one world less. **"A Hanging", in ''The Adelphi'' (August 1931) * In England, a century of strong [[government]] has developed what [[O. Henry]] called ''the stern and rugged [[fear]] of the police'' to a point where any public protest seems an indecency. But '''in France everyone can remember a certain amount of civil disturbance, and even the workmen in the bistros talk of ''la revolution'' — meaning the next revolution, not the last one.''' The highly socialised modern mind, which makes a kind of composite god out of the rich, the government, the police and the larger newspapers, has not been developed — at least not yet. ** Review of ''The Civilization of France'' by Ernst Robert Curtius; translated by Olive Wyon, in ''The Adelphi'' (May 1932) *As to a pseudonym, a name I always use when tramping etc is P. S. Burton, but if you don't think this sounds a probable kind of name, what about Kenneth Miles, George Orwell, H. Lewis Allways. '''I rather favour George Orwell.''' **Letter to Leonard Moore (19 November 1932) **''The Collected Essays, Journalism & Letters, George Orwell: An Age Like This, 1920–1940'', Editors: Sonia Orwell, Ian Angus.  p. 106. * '''Man is not a Yahoo, but he is rather like a Yahoo and needs to be reminded of it from time to time.''' ** Review of ''[[w:Tropic of Cancer (novel)|Tropic of Cancer]]'', in ''New English Weekly'' (14 November 1935) * Think of life as it really is, think of the details of life; and then think that there is no meaning in it, no purpose, no goal except the grave. Surely only fools or self-deceivers, or those whose lives are exceptionally fortunate, can face that thought without flinching? ** ''[[w:A Clergyman's Daughter|A Clergyman's Daughter]]'', Ch. 2 (1935) * It is a mysterious thing, the loss of faith-as mysterious as faith itself. Like faith, it is ultimately not rooted in logic; it is a change in the climate of the mind. ** ''A Clergyman's Daughter'', Ch. 5 * There is a geographical element in all belief-saying what seem profound truths in India have a way of seeming enormous platitudes in England, and ''vice versa''. Perhaps the fundamental difference is that beneath a tropical sun individuality seems less distinct and the loss of it less important. ** Review of ''Indian Mosaic'' by Mark Channing, in ''The Listener'' (15 July 1936) * I am struck again by the fact that as soon as a working man gets an official post in the Trade Union or goes into Labour politics, he becomes middle-class whether he will or no. ie. by fighting against the bourgeoisie he becomes a bourgeois. The fact is that you cannot help living in the manner appropriate and developing the ideology appropriate to your income. ** ''The Road to Wigan Pier Diary 6-10 February (1936)'' *For the dreadful thing about the kind of brutalities here described, is that they are quite unavoidable. '''When a subject population rises in revolt you have got to suppress it, and you can only do so by methods which make nonsense of any claim for the superiority of western civilisation. In order to rule over barbarians, you have got to become a barbarian yourself.''' **Review of ''Zest for Life'' by Johann Wöller, in ''Time and Tide'' (17 October 1936) *In a town like London there are always plenty of not quite certifiable lunatics walking the streets, and they tend to gravitate towards bookshops, because a bookshop is one of the few places where you can hang about for a long time without spending any money. **“Bookshop Memories” in ''Fortnightly'' (November 1936) * In addition to this there is the horrible — the really disquieting — prevalence of cranks wherever Socialists are gathered together.

In such a view of life there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military [[virtues]]. The Socialist who finds his children playing with soldiers is usually upset, but he is never able to think of a substitute for the tin soldiers; tin pacifists somehow won't do. Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings ''don’t'' only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades. However they may be as economic theories, Fascism and Nazism are psychologically far sounder than any hedonistic conception of life. The same is probably true of Stalin's militarised version of Socialism. All three of the great dictators have enhanced their power by imposing intolerable burdens on their peoples. Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a grudging way, have said to people "I offer you a [[good]] time," Hitler has said to them "I offer you struggle, [[danger]] and [[death]]," and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. ** From a review of [[Adolf Hitler]]'s ''[[w:Mein Kampf|Mein Kampf]],'' ''New English Weekly'' (21 March 1940) * [...]I should say that it is a good rule of thumb never to mention religion if you can possibly avoid it. ** Letter to Humphry House (11 April 1940).

All the national movements everywhere, even those that originate in resistance to German domination, seem to take non-democratic forms, to group themselves round some superhuman fuhrer (Hitler, Stalin, Salazar, Franco, Gandhi, De Valera are all varying examples) and to adopt the theory that the end justifies the means. Everywhere the world movement seems to be in the direction of centralised economies which can be made to ‘work’ in an economic sense but which are not democratically organised and which tend to establish a caste system. With this go the horrors of emotional nationalism and a tendency to disbelieve in the existence of objective truth because all the facts have to fit in with the words and prophecies of some infallible fuhrer. Already history has in a sense ceased to exist, ie. there is no such thing as a history of our own times which could be universally accepted, and the exact sciences are endangered as soon as military necessity ceases to keep people up to the mark. Hitler can say that the Jews started the war, and if he survives that will become official history. He can't say that two and two are five, because for the purposes of, say, ballistics they have to make four. But if the sort of world that I am afraid of arrives, a world of two or three great superstates which are unable to conquer one another, two and two could become five if the fuhrer wished it. ** Letter to H.

Willison * I have never visited Russia and my knowledge of it consists only of what can be learned by reading books and newspapers. Even if I had the power, I would not wish to interfere in Soviet domestic affairs: I would not condemn [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] and his associates merely for their barbaric and undemocratic methods. It is quite possible that, even with the best intentions, they could not have acted otherwise under the conditions prevailing there. <br> But on the other hand it was of the utmost importance to me that people in western Europe should see the Soviet regime for what it really was. '''Since 1930 I had seen little [[evidence]] that the USSR was progressing towards anything that one could [[truly]] call [[Socialism]]. On the contrary, I was struck by clear signs of its transformation into a hierarchical society, in which the rulers have no more reason to give up their power than any other ruling class.''' Moreover, the workers and intelligentsia in a country like England cannot understand that the USSR of today is altogether different from what it was in 1917. It is partly that they do not want to understand (i.e. they want to believe that, somewhere, a really Socialist country does actually exist), and partly that, being accustomed to comparative freedom and moderation in public life, totalitarianism is completely incomprehensible to them. ** Original preface to ''[[Animal Farm]]''; as published in ''George Orwell: Some Materials for a Bibliography'' (1953) by Ian R.

For quite a decade past I have believed that the existing Russian régime is a mainly evil thing, and I claim the right to say so, in spite of the fact that we are allies with the USSR in a war which I want to see won. If I had to choose a text to justify myself, I should choose the line from Milton: :: By the known rules of ancient liberty. : The word ancient emphasizes the fact that intellectual freedom is a deep-rooted tradition without which our characteristic western culture could only doubtfully exist.

I think that by retaining one's childhood love of such things as trees, fishes, butterflies and — to return to my first instance — toads, one makes a peaceful and decent future a little more probable, and that by preaching the doctrine that nothing is to be admired except steel and concrete, one merely makes it a little surer that human beings will have no outlet for their surplus energy except in hatred and leader worship. ** "Some Thoughts on the Common Toad," ''Tribune'' (12 April 1946) * The atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but earth is still going round the sun, and neither the dictators nor the bureaucrats, deeply as they disapprove of the process, are able to prevent it. ** "Some Thoughts on the Common Toad," ''Tribune'' (12 April 1946, [http://archive.tribunemagazine.co.uk/page/12th-april-1946/10 page 10, last paragraph]) * It was only ''after'' the Soviet régime became unmistakably totalitarian that English intellectuals, in large numbers, began to show an interest in it.

But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law.''' When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else. ** "Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of [[Jonathan Swift#Gulliver.27s Travels .281726.29|Gulliver's Travels]]," ''Polemic'' (September/October 1946) - [http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/swift/english/e_swift Full text online] * People talk about the horrors of war, but what weapon has man invented that even approaches in cruelty to some of the commoner diseases?

This does not mean that ''everyone'' will turn against you (Kent and the Fool stand by Lear from first to last), but in all probability ''someone'' will.

This does not always happen, but it is to be expected, and you ought not to complain if it does happen.''' The second blow is, so to speak, part of the act of turning the other cheek. First of all, therefore, there is the vulgar, common-sense moral drawn by the Fool: "Don't relinquish power, don't give away your lands." But there is also another moral. Shakespeare never utters it in so many words, and it does not very much matter whether he was fully aware of it. It is contained in the story, which, after all, he made up, or altered to suit his purposes. It is: "Give away your lands if you want to, but don't expect to gain happiness by doing so. Probably you won't gain happiness. '''If you live for others, you must live ''for others'', and not as a roundabout way of getting an advantage for yourself.'''" ** "Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool," ''Polemic'' (March 1947) * A normal human being does not want the [[Kingdom of Heaven]]: he wants life on earth to continue. This is not solely because he is "weak," "sinful" and anxious for a "good time." Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise. Ultimately it is the Christian attitude which is self-interested and hedonistic, since the aim is always to get away from the painful struggle of earthly life and find eternal peace in some kind of [[Heaven]] or [[Nirvana]]. The humanist attitude is that the struggle must continue and that death is the price of life. ** "Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool," ''Polemic'' (March 1947) * There are people who are convinced of the wickedness both of armies and of police forces, but who are nevertheless much more intolerant and inquisitorial in outlook than the normal person who believes that it is necessary to use violence in certain circumstances. They will not say to somebody else, ‘Do this, that and the other or you will go to prison’, but they will, if they can, get inside his brain and dictate his thoughts for him in the minutest particulars. Creeds like pacifism and anarchism, which seem on the surface to imply a complete renunciation of power, rather encourage this habit of mind. For if you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics — a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage — surely that proves that you are in the right? And the more you are in the right, the more natural that everyone else should be bullied into thinking likewise. ** "Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool," ''Polemic'' (March 1947) * No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy. ** [http://orwell.ru/library/essays/joys/english/e_joys "Such, Such Were The Joys"] (May 1947); published in ''Partisan Review'' (September/October 1952) * '''Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.''' ** "The Freedom Defence Committee" in "The Socialist Leader ''(18 September 1948); also in'' The Collected Essays, Journalism, & Letters, George Orwell; Vol. IV: In front of your nose, 1945-1950 ''(2000), p. 447'' * I always disagree, however, when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism.

'''Poverty frees them from normal standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work'''. Some of the lodgers in our hotel lived lives that were curious beyond words. ** Ch. 1 * I am trying to describe the people in our quarter, not for the mere curiosity, but because they are all part of the story. '''Poverty is what I am writing about, and I had my first contact with poverty in this slum.''' The slum, with its dirt and its queer lives, was first an object-lesson in poverty, and then the background of my own experiences. It is for that reason that I try to give some idea of what life was like there. ** Ch. 1 * "Ah, the poverty, the shortness the disappointment of human joy! For in reality ''car en realite,'' what is the duration of the supreme moment of love? It is nothing, an instant, a second perhaps. A second of ecstasy, and after that- dust, ashes, nothingness." ** Ch. 2, Charlie * For, when you are approaching poverty, you make one discovery which outweighs some of the others. '''You discover boredom and mean complications and the beginnings of hunger, but you also discover the great redeeming feature of poverty: the fact that it annihilates the future.''' Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you worry. When you have a hundred francs in the world you are liable to the most craven panics. When you have only three francs you are quite indifferent; for three francs will feed you till tomorrow, and you cannot think further than that. You are bored, but you are not afraid. You think vaguely, 'I shall be starving in a day or two--shocking, isn't it?' And then the mind wanders to other topics. A bread and margarine diet does, to some extent, provide its own anodyne. '''And there is another feeling that is a great consolation in poverty. I believe everyone who has been hard up has experienced it. It is a feeling of relief, almost of pleasure, at knowing yourself at last genuinely down and out. You have talked so often of going to the dogs--and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it. It takes off a lot of anxiety.''' ** Ch. 3 * There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter. ** Ch. 4; a record of a remark by Orwell's fellow tramp Boris * For, when you are approaching poverty, you make one discovery which outweighs some of the others. You discover boredom and mean complications and the beginnings of hunger, but you also discover the great redeeming feature of poverty: the fact that it annihilates the future. '''Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you worry.''' ** Ch. 4 * Hunger reduces one to an utterly spineless, brainless condition, more like the after-effects of influenza than anything else. It is as though all one's blood had been pumped out and lukewarm water substituted. ** Ch. 7 * One always abandons something in retreat. Look at [[Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon]] at the [[w:Battle of Berezina|Beresina]]! He abandoned his whole army. ** Ch. 7; a remark by Boris * '''Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.''' ** Ch. 7 * It is fatal to look hungry. It makes people want to kick you. ** Ch. 9; a remark by Boris * I only realized during my last week that I was being cheated, and, as I could prove nothing, only twenty-five francs were refunded. The doorkeeper played similar tricks on any employee who was fool enough to be taken in. He called himself a Greek, but in reality he was an Armenian. After knowing him I saw the force of the proverb "Trust a snake before a Jew and a Jew before a Greek, but don't trust an Armenian." ** Ch. 13 * Roughly speaking, the more one pays for food, the more sweat and spittle one is obliged to eat with it. ... Dirtiness is inherent in hotels and restaurants, because sound food is sacrificed to punctuality and smartness... The only food at the Hotel X which was ever prepared cleanly was the staff's. ** Ch. 14 * We crawled up to bed, tumbled down half dressed, and stayed there ten hours. Most of my Saturday nights went like this. On the whole, the two hours when one was perfectly and wildly happy seemed worth the subsequent headache. For many men in the quarter, unmarried and with no future to think of, the weekly drinking-bout was the one thing that made life worth living. ** Ch. 17 * Looking round that filthy room, with raw meat lying among the refuse on the floor, and cold, clotted saucepans sprawling everywhere, and the sink blocked and coated with grease, I used to wonder whether there could be a restaurant in the world as bad as ours. But the other three all said they had been in dirtier places. ** Ch. 21; on the state of the kitchen at the newly opened ''[[w:Public_house#Inns|Auberge]]''. * How sweet the air does smell — even the air of a back-street in the suburbs — after the shut-in, subfaecal stench of the spike! ** Ch. 27, on the morning after Orwell is let out of his first tramps' accommodation, or 'spike'. * He had two subjects of conversation, the shame and come-down of being a tramp, and the best way of getting a free meal. ** Ch. 28, on Paddy the tramp * Paddy and I had scarcely a wink of sleep, for there was a man near us who had some nervous trouble, shell-shock perhaps, which made him cry out 'Pip!' at irregular intervals. It was a loud, startling noise, something like the toot of a small motor-horn. You never knew when it was coming, and it was a sure preventer of sleep. ...he must have kept ten or twenty people awake every night. He was an example of the kind of thing that prevents one from ever getting enough sleep when men are herded as they are in these lodging houses.' ** Ch. 29 * Being a beggar, he said, was not his fault, and he refused either to have any compunction about it or to let it trouble him. He was the enemy of society, and quite ready to take to crime if he saw a good opportunity. He refused on principle to be thrifty. In the summer he saved nothing, spending his surplus earnings on drink, as he did not care about women. If he was penniless when winter came on, then society must look after him. He was ready to extract every penny he could from charity, provided that he was not expected to say thank you for it. He avoided religious charities, however, for he said it stuck in his throat to sing hymns for buns. He had various other points of honour; for instance, it was his boast that never in his life, even when starving, had he picked up a cigarette end. He considered himself in a class above the ordinary run of beggars, who, he said, were an abject lot, without even the decency to be ungrateful. ** On "Bozo", in Ch. 30 * '''He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him), and took a sort of pleasure in thinking that human affairs would never improve.''' Sometimes, he said, when sleeping on the Embankment, it had consoled him to look up at Mars or Jupiter and think that there were probably Embankment sleepers there. He had a curious theory about this. Life on earth, he said, is harsh because the planet is poor in the necessities of existence. Mars, with its cold climate and scanty water, must be far poorer, and life correspondingly harsher. Whereas on earth you are merely imprisoned for stealing sixpence, on Mars you are probably boiled alive. '''This thought cheered Bozo, I do not know why. He was a very exceptional man.''' ** Ch. 30 * '''Beggars do not work, it is said; but then, what is ''work''?''' A navvy works by swinging a pick. An accountant works by adding up figures. A beggar works by standing out of doors in all weathers and getting varicose veins, bronchitis etc. '''It is a trade like any other; quite useless, of course — but, then, many reputable trades are quite useless.''' And as a social type a beggar compares well with scores of others. He is honest compared with the sellers of most patent medicines, high-minded compared with a Sunday newspaper proprietor, amiable compared with a hire-purchase tout-in short, a parasite, but a fairly harmless parasite. He seldom extracts more than a bare living from the community, and, what should justify him according to our ethical ideas, he pays for it over and over in suffering. ** Ch. 31 * The most bitter insult one can offer to a Londoner is "bastard" — which, taken for what it means, is hardly an insult at all. ** Ch. 32 * The whole business of swearing, especially English swearing, is mysterious. Of its very nature swearing is as irrational as magic-- indeed, it is a species of magic. But there is also a paradox about it, namely this: Our intention in swearing is to shock and wound, which we do by mentioning something that should be kept secret--usually something to do with the sexual functions. But the strange thing is that when a word is well established as a swear word, it seems to lose its original meaning; that is, it loses the thing that made it into a swear word. A word becomes an oath because it means a certain thing, and, because it has become an oath, it ceases to mean that thing. ** Ch. 32 * It is curious how people take it for granted that they have a right to preach at you and pray over you as soon as your income falls below a certain level. ** Ch. 33 * My story ends here. It is a fairly trivial story, and I can only hope that it has been interesting in the same way as a trivial diary is interesting. ... '''At present I do not feel I have seen more than the fringe of poverty. <br> Still, I can point to one or two things I have definitely learned by being hard up. I shall never again think that all tramps are drunken scoundrels, nor expect a beggar to be grateful when I give him a penny, nor be surprised if men out of work lack energy, nor subscribe to the Salvation Army, nor pawn my clothes, nor refuse a handbill, nor enjoy a meal at a smart restaurant. That is a beginning.''' ** Ch. 38 === ''[[w:Burmese Days|Burmese Days]]'' (1934) === [[File:British_Indian_Empire_1909_Imperial_Gazetteer_of_India.jpg|right|thumb|Living a lie the whole time — the lie that we're here to uplift our poor black brothers instead of to rob them … it [[corrupts]] us, it corrupts us in ways you can't imagine.]] * '''Ellis was one of those people who constantly nag others to echo their own opinions.''' ** Ch.

You can possess money, or you can despise money; the one fatal thing is to worship money and fail to get it. ** Ch.3 * Most of the employees were the hard-boiled, Americanized, go-getting type to whom nothing in the world is sacred, except money. They had their cynical code worked out. The public are swine; [[advertising]] is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket. And yet beneath their cynicism there was the final naivete, the blind worship of the money-god. ** Ch. 3 * It was queer. All over England young men were eating their hearts out for lack of jobs, and here was he, Gordon, to whom the very word 'job' was faintly nauseous, having jobs thrust unwanted upon him. It was an example of the fact that '''you can get anything in this world if you genuinely don't want it.''' ** Ch. 3 * He had reached the age when the future ceases to be a rosy blur and becomes actual and menacing. ** Ch. 3 * That is the devilish thing about poverty, the ever-recurrent thing - loneliness. Day after day with never an intelligent person to talk to; night after night back to your godless room, always alone. Perhaps it sounds rather fun if you are rich and sought-after; but how different it is when you do it from necessity! ** Ch. 4 * When you have no money your life is one long series of snubs. ** Ch. 4 * Gordon put his hand against the swing door. He even pushed it open a few inches. The warm fog of smoke and beer slipped through the crack. A familiar, reviving smell; nevertheless as he smelled it his nerve failed him. No! Impossible to go in. He turned away. He couldn't go shoving into that saloon bar with only fourpence halfpenny in his pocket. Never let other people buy your drinks for you! The first commandment of the moneyless. He made off down the dark pavement. ** Ch. 4 * Social failure, artistic failure, sexual failure - they are all the same. And lack of money is at the bottom of them all. ** Ch. 4 * No rich man ever succeeds in disguising himself as a poor man; for money, like murder, will out. ** Ch. 5 * This life we live nowadays! It's not life, it's stagnation, death-in-life. Look at all these bloody houses, and the meaningless people inside them! Sometimes I think we're all corpses. Just rotting upright. ** Ch. 5 * Money is the one thing you must never mention when you are with people richer than yourself. Or if you do, then it must be money in the abstract, money with a big 'M', not the actual concrete money that's in your pocket and isn't in mine. ** Ch. 5 *After all, it's only what Marx said. Every ideology is a reflection of economic circumstances. ** Ch. 5 * Poverty is spiritual halitosis. ** Ch. 5 * Hermione always yawned at the mention of Socialism, and refused even to read Antichrist. 'Don't talk to me about the lower classes,' she used to say. 'I hate them. They ''smell''.' And Ravelston adored her. ** Ch. 5 * What rot it is to talk about Socialism or any other ism when women are what they are! The only thing a woman ever wants is money; money for a house of her own and two babies and Drage furniture and an aspidistra. The only sin they can imagine is not wanting to grab money. No woman ever judges a man by anything except his income. Of course she doesn't put it to herself like that. She says he's ''such a nice man'' - meaning that he's got plenty of money. And if you haven't got money you aren't ''nice''. You're dishonoured, somehow. You've sinned. Sinned against the aspidistra. ** Ch. 5 * This woman business! What a bore it is! What a pity we can't cut it right out, or at least be like the animals—minutes of ferocious lust and months of icy chastity. Take a cock pheasant, for example. He jumps up on the hen's backs without so much as a with your leave or by your leave. And no sooner is it over than the whole subject is out of his mind. He hardly even notices his hens any longer; he ignores them, or simply pecks them if they come too near his food. He is not called upon to support his offspring, either. Lucky pheasant! How different from the lord of creation, always on the hop between his memory and his conscience ** Ch. 6 * Marriage is only a trap set for you by the money-god. You grab the bait; snap goes the trap; and there you are, chained by the leg to some 'good' job till they cart you to Kensal Green. And what a life! Licit sexual intercourse in the shade of the aspidistra. Pram-pushing and sneaky adulteries. And the wife finding you out and breaking the cut-glass whisky decanter over your head. ** Ch. 6 * Without money, you can't be straightforward in your dealings with women. For without money, you can't pick and choose, you've got to take what women you can get; and then, necessarily, you've got to break free of them. Constancy, like all other virtues, has got to be paid for in money. ** Ch. 6 * Why is it that one can't borrow from a rich friend and can from a half-starved relative? ** Ch. 7 * He would only drift and sink, drift and sink, like the others of his family; but worse than them - down, down into some dreadful sub-world that as yet he could only dimly imagine. It was what he had chosen when he declared war on money. Serve the money-god or go under; there is no other rule. ** Ch. 7 * She looked at him helplessly. After all, it was no use. There was this money-business standing in the way - these meaningless scruples which she had never understood but which she had accepted merely because they were his. She felt all the impotence, the resentment of a woman who sees an abstract idea triumphing over common sense. ** Ch. 10 * Their friendship was at an end, it seemed to him. The evil time when he had lived on Ravelston had spoiled everything. Charity kills friendship. ** Ch. 10 * Before, he had fought against the money code, and yet he had clung to his wretched remnant of decency. But now it was precisely from decency that he wanted to escape. He wanted to go down, deep down, into some world where decency no longer mattered; to cut the strings of his self-respect, to submerge himself—to ''sink'', as Rosemary had said. It was all bound up in his mind with the thought of being ''under ground''. He liked to think of the lost people, the under-ground people: tramps, beggars, criminals, prostitutes. It is a good world that they inhabit, down there in their frowzy kips and spikes. He liked to think that beneath the world of money there is that great sluttish underworld where failure and success have no meaning; a sort of kingdom of ghosts where all are equal. That was where he wished to be, down in the ghost-kingdom, ''below'' ambition. It comforted him somehow to think of the smoke-dim slums of South London sprawling on and on, a huge graceless wilderness where you could lose yourself forever. ** Ch. 10 * '''One's got to change the system, or one changes nothing.''' ** Ch. 10 *The Americans always go one better on any kind of beastliness, whether it is ice-cream soda, racketeering or theosophy. ** Ch. 11 === ''[[w:Homage to Catalonia|Homage to Catalonia]]'' (1938) === [[File:Spanish_Civil_War_memorial_-_geograph.org.uk_-_943633.jpg|right|thumb|I have the most [[evil]] [[memories]] of [[Spain]], but I have very few bad memories of Spaniards.]] : <small>[http://www.george-orwell.org/Homage_to_Catalonia/index.html Full text online]</small> * Chiefly I remember the horsy smells, the quavering bugle-calls (all our buglers were amateurs--I first learned the Spanish bugle-calls by listening to them outside the Fascist lines), the tramp-tramp of hobnailed boots in the barrack yard, the long morning parades in the wintry sunshine, the wild games of football, fifty a side, in the gravelled riding--school. * '''I have no particular love for the idealised "worker" as he appears in the bourgeois Communist's mind, but when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.''' * All Spaniards, we discovered, knew two English expressions. One was "O.K., baby", the other was a word used by the Barcelona whores in their dealings with English sailors, and I am afraid the compositors would not print it. * '''I have the most evil memories of Spain, but I have very few bad memories of Spaniards.''' * The fat Russian agent was cornering all the foreign refugees in turn and explaining plausibly that this whole affair was an [[Anarchist]] plot. '''I watched him with some interest, for it was the first time that I had seen a person whose profession was telling lies — unless one counts journalists.''' * It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle ... There was much in it that I did not understand, '''in some ways I did not even like it, but I recognized it immediately as a state of affairs worth fighting for.''' * An immense amount, enough to fill many books, has already been written on the subject [of the Barcelona fighting], and I do not suppose I should exaggerate if I said that nine-tenths of it is untruthful. * It seemed queer, in the barber's shop, to see the Anarchist notice still on the wall, explaining that tips were prohibited. '''"The Revolution has struck off our chains," the notice said. I felt like telling the barbers that their chains would soon be back on again if they didn't look out.''' * '''Human beings were behaving as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine.''' * It is sometimes a comfort to me to think that the aeroplane is changing the conditions of warfare. In the next great war, we may see that sight unprecedented in all history, a [[w:Jingoism|jingo]] with a bullet-hole in him. * Everyone always did miss everyone else in this war, whenever it was humanly possible to do so. * The workers' militias, based on the trade unions and each composed of people of approximately the same political opinions, had the effect of canalizing into one place all the most revolutionary sentiment in the country. I had dropped more or less by chance into '''the only community of any size in Western Europe where political consciousness and disbelief in capitalism were more normal than their opposites.''' Up here in Aragón one was among tens of thousands of people, mainly though not entirely of working-class origin, all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality. In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it. There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized life--snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.--had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master. Of course such a state of affairs could not last. It was simply a temporary and local phase in an enormous game that is being played over the whole surface of the earth. But it lasted long enough to have its effect upon anyone who experienced it. However much one cursed at the time, one realized afterwards that one had been in contact with something strange and valuable. One had been in a community where hope was more normal than apathy or cynicism, where the word 'comrade' stood for comradeship and not, as in most countries, for humbug. One had breathed the air of equality. I am well aware that it is now the fashion to deny that Socialism has anything to do with equality. '''In every country in the world a huge tribe of party-hacks and sleek little professors are busy 'proving' that Socialism means no more than a planned state—capitalism with the grab-motive left intact. But fortunately there also exists a vision of Socialism quite different from this. The thing that attracts ordinary men to Socialism and makes them willing to risk their skins for it, the 'mystique' of Socialism, is the idea of equality; to the vast majority of people Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all.''' And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. * It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever gets near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propaganda-tours. * The revolutionary atmosphere remained as I had first known it. General and private, peasant and militiaman, still met as equals; everyone drew the same pay, wore the same clothes, ate the same food, and called everyone else 'thou' and 'comrade'; there was no boss-class, no menial-class, no beggars, no prostitutes, no lawyers, no priests, no boot-licking, no cap-touching. I was breathing the air of equality, and I was simple enough to imagine that it existed all over Spain. I did not realize that more or less by chance I was isolated among the most revolutionary section of the Spanish working class. * '''No one I met at this time — doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients — failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.''' === Charles Dickens (1939)=== * Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be. ** "[[Charles Dickens]]" (1939), ''Inside the Whale and Other Essays'' (1940) [http://orwell.ru/library/reviews/dickens/english/e_chd] *The great disadvantage, and advantage, of the small urban bourgeois is his limited outlook. He sees the world as a middle-class world, and everything outside, these limits is either laughable or slightly wicked. ** ''A Collection of Essays'', pp. 65-66 * Dickens's attitude is easily intelligible to an Englishman, because it is part of the English puritan tradition, which is not dead even at this day. The class Dickens belonged to, at least by adoption, was growing suddenly rich after a couple of centuries of obscurity. It had grown up mainly in the big towns, out of contact with agriculture, and politically impotent; government, in its experience, was something which either interfered or persecuted. Consequently it was a class with no tradition of public service and not much tradition of usefulness. '''What now strikes us as remarkable about the new moneyed class of the nineteenth century is their complete irresponsibility; they see everything in terms of individual success, with hardly any consciousness that the community exists.''' * The thing that drove Dickens forward into a form of art for which he was not really suited, and at the same time caused us to remember him, was simply the fact that he was a moralist, the consciousness of ‘having something to say’. He is always preaching a sermon, and that is the final secret of his inventiveness. For you can only create if you can ''care''. Types like Squeers and Micawber could not have been produced by a hack writer looking for something to be funny about. '''A joke worth laughing at always has an idea behind it, and usually a subversive idea. Dickens is able to go on being funny because he is in revolt against authority, and authority is always there to be laughed at.''' * '''When one reads any strongly individual piece of writing, one has the impression of seeing a [[face]] somewhere behind the page. It is not necessarily the actual face of the writer.''' I feel this very strongly with [[Jonathan Swift|Swift]], with [[Daniel Defoe|Defoe]], with [[Henry Fielding|Fielding]], [[Stendhal]], [[William Makepeace Thackeray|Thackeray]], [[Gustave Flaubert|Flaubert]], though in several cases I do not know what these people looked like and do not want to know. What one sees is the face that the writer ought to have. Well, in the case of Dickens I see a face that is not quite the face of Dickens's photographs, though it resembles it. It is the face of a man of about forty, with a small beard and a high colour. He is laughing, with a touch of [[anger]] in his [[laughter]], but no triumph, no malignity. It is the face of a man who is always fighting against something, but who fights in the open and is not frightened, the face of a man who is generously angry — in other words, of a nineteenth-century liberal, '''a free intelligence, a type hated with equal hatred by all the smelly little orthodoxies which are now contending for our [[souls]].''' * The truth is that Dickens's criticism of society is almost exclusively moral. Hence the utter lack of any constructive suggestion anywhere in his work. He attacks the law, parliamentary government, the educational system and so forth, without ever clearly suggesting what he would put in their places. Of course it is not necessarily the business of a novelist, or a satirist, to make constructive suggestions, but the point is that Dickens's attitude is at bottom not even destructive. There is no clear sign that he wants the existing order to be overthrown, or that he believes it would make very much difference if it ''were'' overthrown. For in reality his target is not so much society as ‘human nature’. It would be difficult to point anywhere in his books to a passage suggesting that the economic system is wrong ''as a system''. * I have been discussing Dickens simply in terms of his ‘message’, and almost ignoring his literary qualities. But every writer, especially every novelist, ''has'' a ‘message’, whether he admits it or not, and the minutest details of his work are influenced by it. '''All art is propaganda.''' Neither Dickens himself nor the majority of Victorian novelists would have thought of denying this. '''On the other hand, not all propaganda is art'''. As I said earlier, Dickens is one of those writers who are felt to be worth stealing. He has been stolen by Marxists, by Catholics and, above all, by Conservatives. The question is, What is there to steal? Why does anyone care about Dickens? Why do I care about Dickens? * The outstanding, unmistakable mark of Dickens's writing is the ''unnecessary detail''. * '''There are occasions when it pays better to fight and be beaten than not to fight at all.''' *'''If Dickens were alive to-day he would make a trip to Soviet Russia and come back with a book rather like Gide's ''Retour de L'URSS.''' * === [[w:The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius|The Lion and the Unicorn]] (1941) === [[File:Heinkel_He_111_during_the_Battle_of_Britain_2.jpg|right|thumb|As I write, highly civilized [[human]] beings are flying overhead, trying to [[kill]] me.]] [[File:Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_(1837-1952).svg|right|thumb|[[England]] is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality.]] : <small>[http://www.k-1.com/Orwell/site/work/essays/lionunicorn.html "The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius" (1941) Full text on line]</small> * '''As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.''' <br> They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are ‘only doing their duty’, as the saying goes. Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted law-abiding men who would never dream of committing murder in private life. ** Part I : England Your England, § I * '''One cannot see the modern world as it is unless one recognizes the overwhelming strength of patriotism, national loyalty.''' In certain circumstances it can break down, at certain levels of civilization it does not exist, but as a positive force there is nothing to set beside it. Christianity and international Socialism are as weak as straw in comparison with it. '''[[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] and [[Benito Mussolini|Mussolini]] rose to power in their own countries very largely because they could grasp this fact and their opponents could not.''' ** Part I : England Your England, § I *Also, one must admit that the divisions between nation and nation are founded on real differences of outlook. Till recently it was thought proper to pretend that all human beings are very much alike, but in fact anyone able to use his eyes knows that the average of human behaviour differs enormously from country to country. Things that could happen in one country could not happen in another. **Part I : England Your England, § I *Yes, there ''is'' something distinctive and recognisable in English civilisation. It is a culture as individual as that of Spain. It is somehow bound up with solid breakfasts and gloomy Sundays, smoky towns and winding roads, green fields and red pillar-boxes. It has a flavour of its own. **Part I : England Your England, § I *The gentleness of the English civilisation is perhaps its most marked characteristic. You notice it the instant you set foot on English soil. It is a land where the bus conductors are good-tempered and the policemen carry no revolvers. **Part I : England Your England, § II *A navy employs comparatively few people, and it is an external weapon which cannot affect home politics directly. Military dictatorships exist everywhere, but there is no such thing as a naval dictatorship. What English people of nearly all classes loathe from the bottom of their hearts is the swaggering officer type, the jingle of spurs, and the crash of boots. **Part I : England Your England, § II *The goose-step, for instance, is one of the most horrible sights in the world, far more terrifying than a dive-bomber. It is simply an affirmation of naked power; contained in it, quite consciously and intentionally, is '''the vision of a boot crashing down on a face'''. Its ugliness is part of its essence, for what it is saying is "Yes, I ''am'' ugly, and you daren't laugh at me", like the bully who makes faces at his victim. Why is the goose-step not used in England? There are, heaven knows, plenty of army officers who would be only too glad to introduce some such thing. It is not used because the people in the street would laugh. **Part I : England Your England, § II *During the war of 1914-18 the English working class were in contact with foreigners to an extent that is rarely possible. The sole result was that they brought back a hatred of all Europeans, except the Germans, whose courage they admired. In four years on French soil they did not even acquire a liking for wine. **Part I : England Your England, § III *Thereupon the people picked a leader nearer to their mood, Churchill, who was at any rate able to grasp that '''wars are not won without fighting'''. Later, perhaps, they will pick another leader who can grasp that only Socialist nations can fight effectively. **Part I : England Your England, § III *England is the most class-ridden country under the sun. It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and silly. But in any calculation about it one has got to take into account its emotional unity, the tendency of nearly all its inhabitants to feel alike and act together in moments of supreme crisis. It is the only great country in Europe that is not obliged to drive hundreds of thousands of its nationals into exile or the concentration camps. ** Part I : England Your England, § III * Is the English press honest or dishonest? '''At normal times it is deeply dishonest. All the papers that matter live off their advertisements, and the advertisers exercise an indirect censorship over news.''' Yet I do not suppose there is one paper in England that can be straightforwardly bribed with hard cash. '''In the France of the Third Republic all but a very few of the newspapers could notoriously be bought over the counter like so many pounds of cheese.''' ** Part I : England Your England, § III *England is not the jewelled isle of [[Shakespeare]]’s [[Richard_II_(play)#Act_II|much-quoted message]], nor is it the inferno depicted by Dr [[Goebbels]]. More than either it resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian family, with not many black sheep in it but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy of silence about the source of the family income. It is a family in which the young are generally thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family. It has its private language and its common memories, and at the approach of an enemy it closes its ranks. A family with the wrong members in control — that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase. ** Part I : England Your England, § III *Probably the battle of Waterloo ''was'' won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there. **Part I : England Your England, § IV *It must be admitted that so long as things were peaceful the methods of the British ruling class served them well enough. Their own people manifestly tolerated them. However unjustly England might be organized, it was at any rate not torn by class warfare or haunted by secret police. The Empire was peaceful as no area of comparable size has ever been. Throughout its vast extend, nearly a quarter of the earth, there were fewer armed men than would be found necessary by a minor Balkan state. As people live under, and looking at them merely from a liberal, ''negative'' standpoint, the British ruling class had their points. ** Part I : England Your England, § IV *The policeman who arrests the "Red" does not understand the theories the "Red" is preaching; if he did, his own position as bodyguard of the monied class might seem less pleasant to him. ** Part I : England Your England, § IV * '''The British ruling class were not altogether wrong in thinking that Fascism was on their side. It is a fact that any rich man, unless he is a Jew, has less to fear from Fascism than from either Communism or democratic Socialism. One ought never to forget this, for nearly the whole of German and Italian propaganda is designed to cover it up.''' ** Part I : England Your England, § IV *The middle-class families celebrated by Kipling, the prolific lowbrow families whose sons officered the army and navy and swarmed over all the waste places of the earth from the Yukon to the Irrawaddy, were dwindling before 1914. The thing that had killed them was the telegraph. In a narrowing world, more and more governed from Whitehall, there was every year less room for individual initiative. **Part I : England Your England, § V * '''England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality.''' In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ''God save the King'' than of stealing from a poor box. ** Part I : England Your England, § V *In whatever shape England emerges from the war it will be deeply tinged with the characteristics that I have spoken of earlier. The intellectuals who hope to see it Russianized or Germanized will be disappointed. The gentleness, the hypocrisy, the thoughtlessness, the reverence for law and the hatred of uniforms will remain, along with the suet puddings and the misty skies. It needs some very great disaster, such as prolonged subjugation by a foreign enemy, to destroy a national culture. The Stock Exchange will be pulled down, the horse plough will give way to the tractor, the country houses will be turned into children’s holiday camps, the Eton and Harrow match will be forgotten, but England will still be England, an everlasting animal stretching into the future and the past, and, like all living things, having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same. **Part I : England Your England, § VI * '''Fascism, at any rate the German version, is a form of [[capitalism]] that borrows from [[Socialism]] just such features as will make it efficient for [[war]] purposes.''' Internally, Germany has a good deal in common with a Socialist state. Ownership has never been abolished, there are still capitalists and workers, and — this is the important point, and the real reason why rich men all over the world tend to sympathize with Fascism — generally speaking the same people are capitalists and the same people workers as before the [[Nazi]] revolution. But at the same time the State, which is simply the Nazi Party, is in control of everything. It controls investment, raw materials, rates of interest, working hours, wages. The factory owner still owns his factory, but he is for practical purposes reduced to the status of a manager. Everyone is in effect a State employee, though the salaries vary very greatly. The mere efficiency of such a system, the elimination of waste and obstruction, is obvious. In seven years it has built up the most powerful war machine the world has ever seen. <br /> But '''the idea underlying Fascism is irreconcilably different from that which underlies Socialism. Socialism aims, ultimately, at a world-state of free and equal human beings. It takes the equality of human rights for granted. Nazism assumes just the opposite.''' The driving force behind the Nazi movement is the belief in human inequality, the superiority of Germans to all other races, the right of Germany to rule the world. Outside the German Reich it does not recognize any obligations. ** Part II : Shopkeepers At War, § I *The lady in the Rolls-Royce car is more damaging to morale than a fleet of Göring’s bombing planes. **Part II : Shopkeepers At War, § II *War is the greatest of all agents of change. It speeds up all processes, wipes out minor distinctions, brings realities to the surface. **Part III : The English Revolution, § II === ''[[w:As I Please|As I Please]]'' (1943–1947) === * Having defeated your enemy you have to choose (unless you want another war within a generation) between exterminating him and treating him generously. **"As I Please," ''Tribune'', (24 December 1943) * So far as it goes, the distinction, between an atrocity and an act of war is valid. An atrocity means an act of terrorism which has no genuine military purpose. One must accept such distinctions if one accepts war at all, which in practice everyone does.  Nevertheless, a world in which it is wrong to murder an individual and right to drop a thousand tons of high explosive on a residential area does sometimes make me wonder whether this planet of hours is not a loony-bin made use of by some other planet. **"As I Please," ''Tribune'', (31 December 1943) *Not to have a national anthem would be logical. ** "As I Please," ''Tribune'' (31 December 1943)<sup>[http://www.telelib.com/words/authors/O/OrwellGeorge/essay/tribune/AsIPlease19431231.html]</sup> * Antisemitism, for instance, is simply not the doctrine of a grown-up person. ** "As I Please," ''Tribune'' (28 January 1944)<sup>[http://www.telelib.com/words/authors/O/OrwellGeorge/essay/tribune/AsIPlease19440128.html]</sup> * During the Spanish civil war I found myself feeling very strongly that a true history of this war never would or could be written.&nbsp; Accurate figures, objective accounts of what was happening, simply did not exist.&nbsp; And if I felt that even in 1937, when the Spanish Government was still in being, and the lies which the various Republican factions were telling about each other and about the enemy were relatively small ones, how does the case stand now?&nbsp; Even if Franco is overthrown, what kind of records will the future historian have to go upon?&nbsp; And if Franco or anyone at all resembling him remains in power, the history of the war will consist quite largely of "facts" which millions of people now living know to be lies. * During part of 1941 and 1942, when the Luftwaffe was busy in Russia, the German radio regaled its home audience with stories of devastating air raids on London.&nbsp; Now, we are aware that those raids did not happen.&nbsp; But what use would our knowledge be if the Germans conquered Britain?&nbsp; For the purpose of a future historian, did those raids happen, or didn't they?&nbsp; The answer is:&nbsp; If Hitler survives, they happened, and if he falls they didn't happen.&nbsp; So with innumerable other events of the past ten or twenty years.&nbsp; Is the Protocols of the Elders of Zion a genuine document?&nbsp; Did Trotsky plot with the Nazis?&nbsp; How many German aeroplanes were shot down in the Battle of Britain?&nbsp; Does Europe welcome the New Order?&nbsp; In no case do you get one answer which is universally accepted because it is true: in each case you get a number of totally incompatible answers, one of which is finally adopted as the result of a physical struggle.&nbsp; '''History is written by the winners.''' * A Nazi and a non-Nazi version of the present war would have no resemblance to one another, and which of them finally gets into the history books will be decided not by evidential methods but on the battlefield......In the last analysis our only claim to victory is that if we win the war we shall tell less lies about it than our adversaries. The really frightening thing about totalitarianism is not that it commits "atrocities" but that it attacks the concept of objective truth; it claims to control the past as well as the future. ** "As I Please," ''Tribune'' (4 February 1944)<sup>[http://alexpeak.com/twr/hiwbtw/]</sup> * But it takes a war to make map-reading popular. **"As I Please," ''Tribune'' (11 February 1944) *The idea that an advanced civilization need not rest on slavery is a relatively new idea, for instance; it is a good deal younger than the Christian religion. But even if [[G.K. Chesterton|Chesterton]]'s dictum were true, it would only be true in the sense that a statue is contained in every block of stone. Ideas may not change, but emphasis shifts constantly. It could be claimed, for example, that the most important part of [[Karl Marx|Marx]]'s theory is contained in the saying: '''‘Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.’''' But before Marx developed it, what force had that saying had? Who had paid any attention to it? Who had inferred from it — what it certainly implies — that laws, religions and moral codes are all a superstructure built over existing property relations? It was [[Jesus|Christ]], according to the Gospel, who uttered the text, but it was Marx who brought it to life.

I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and '''I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’'''. ** § 4 *This kind of thing is frightening to me, because '''it often gives me the feeling that the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world.''' [...] A British and a German historian would disagree deeply on many things, even on fundamentals, but there would still be that body of, as it were, neutral fact on which neither would seriously challenge the other.

Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as ‘the truth’ exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as ‘Science’. There is only ‘German Science’, ‘Jewish Science’, etc.''' The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future but the past. If the Leader says of such and such an event, ‘It never happened’ — well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five — well, two and two are five.

Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other more or less for reaction. **§ 5 * '''The outcome of the Spanish war was settled in [[London]], [[Paris]], [[Rome]], [[Berlin]] — at any rate not in Spain.''' After the summer of 1937 those with eyes in their heads realized that the Government could not win the war unless there were some profound change in the international set-up, and in deciding to fight on [[w:Juan Negrín|Negrin]] and the others may have been partly influenced by the expectation that the world war which actually broke out in 1939 was coming in 1938. '''The much-publicized disunity on the Government side was not a main cause of defeat.''' The Government militias were hurriedly raised, ill-armed and unimaginative in their military outlook, but they would have been the same if complete political agreement had existed from the start. '''At the outbreak of war the average Spanish factory-worker did not even know how to fire a rifle (there had never been universal conscription in Spain), and the traditional pacifism of the Left was a great handicap.''' The thousands of foreigners who served in Spain made good infantry, but there were very few experts of any kind among them. The Trotskyist thesis that the war could have been won if the revolution had not been sabotaged was probably false. '''To nationalize factories, demolish churches, and issue revolutionary manifestoes would not have made the armies more efficient. The Fascists won because they were the stronger; they had modern arms and the others hadn't. No political strategy could offset that.''' <br> '''The most baffling thing in the Spanish war was the behaviour of the great powers.''' The war was actually won for [[Francisco Franco|Franco]] by the Germans and Italians, whose motives were obvious enough. The motives of France and Britain are less easy to understand. In 1936 it was clear to everyone that if Britain would only help the Spanish Government, even to the extent of a few million pounds' worth of arms, Franco would collapse and German strategy would be severely dislocated. '''By that time one did not need to be a clairvoyant to foresee that war between Britain and Germany was coming; one could even foretell within a year or two when it would come.''' Yet in the most mean, cowardly, hypocritical way the British ruling class did all they could to hand Spain over to Franco and the Nazis. Why? Because they were pro-Fascist, was the obvious answer. Undoubtedly they were, and yet when it came to the final showdown they chose to stand up to Germany. It is still very uncertain what plan they acted on in backing Franco, and they may have had no clear plan at all. Whether the British ruling class are wicked or merely stupid is one of the most difficult questions of our time, and at certain moments a very important question. ** § 6 *I believe that in the future we shall come to feel that Stalin's foreign policy, instead of being so diabolically clever as it is claimed to be, has been merely opportunistic and stupid. ** § 6 === Antisemitism in Britain (1945) === : <small>Published in ''Contemporary Jewish Record'' (April 1945).

The Jews are accused of specific offences (for instance, bad behaviour in food queues) which the person speaking feels strongly about, but it is obvious that these accusations merely rationalise some deep-rooted prejudice. *A minority of the refugees behaved in an exceedingly tactless way, and the feeling against them necessarily had an antisemitic undercurrent, since they were largely Jews. *I have already indicated that I believe antisemitism to be essentially a neurosis, but of course it has its rationalisations, which are sincerely believed in and are partly true. The rationalisation put forward by the common man is that the Jew is an exploiter. *[...] antisemitism is rationalised by saying that the Jew is a person who spreads disaffection and weakens national morale. === [[w:Notes on Nationalism|Notes on Nationalism]] (1945) === [[File:Nazi_Strike_2.jpg|right|thumb|Nationalism is power-hunger tempered by self-deception.]] : <small>Published in ''Polemic'' (October 1945); [http://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/nationalism/english/e_nat Full essay online with original footnotes] - [http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0300011h.html#part30 alternate site]</small> [[File:Into_the_Jaws_of_Death_23-0455M_edit.jpg|right|thumb|Those who "abjure" violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf.]] * '''By "nationalism" I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled "good" or "bad."''' But secondly — and this is much more important — I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests. '''Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.''' Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are involved. By "patriotism" I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. '''Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power.''' The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality. * '''Nationalism is power-hunger tempered by self-deception.''' * '''The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.''' *[T]ransferred nationalism has been a common phenomenon among literary intellectuals. With Lafcadio Hearne the transference was to Japan, with Carlyle and many others of his time to Germany, and in our own age it is usually to Russia. But the peculiarly interesting fact is that re-transference is also possible. A country or other unit which has been worshipped for years may suddenly become detestable, and some other object of affection may take its place with almost no interval. In the first version of H. G. Wells's Outline of History, and others of his writings about that time, one finds the United States praised almost as extravagantly as Russia is praised by Communists today: yet within a few years this uncritical admiration had turned into hostility. The bigoted Communist who changes in a space of weeks, or even days, into an equally bigoted Trotskyist is a common spectacle. In continental Europe Fascist movements were largely recruited from among Communists, and the opposite process may well happen within the next few years. What remains constant in the nationalist is his state of mind: the object of his feelings is changeable, and may be imaginary. *[F]or an intellectual, transference has an important function which I have already mentioned shortly in connection with Chesterton. It makes it possible for him to be much more nationalistic — more vulgar, more silly, more malignant, more dishonest — that he could ever be on behalf of his native country, or any unit of which he had real knowledge. When one sees the slavish or boastful rubbish that is written about Stalin, the Red Army, etc. by fairly intelligent and sensitive people, one realises that this is only possible because some kind of dislocation has taken place. '''In societies such as ours, it is unusual for anyone describable as an intellectual to feel a very deep attachment to his own country. Public opinion — that is, the section of public opinion of which he as an intellectual is aware — will not allow him to do so'''. Most of the people surrounding him are sceptical and disaffected, and he may adopt the same attitude from imitativeness or sheer cowardice: in that case he will have abandoned the form of nationalism that lies nearest to hand without getting any closer to a genuinely internationalist outlook. He still feels the need for a Fatherland, and it is natural to look for one somewhere abroad. Having found it, he can wallow unrestrainedly in exactly those emotions from which he believes that he has emancipated himself. God, the King, the Empire, the Union Jack — all the overthrown idols can reappear under different names, and because they are not recognised for what they are they can be worshipped with a good conscience. Transferred nationalism, like the use of scapegoats, is a way of attaining salvation without altering one's conduct. * '''Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage — torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians — which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.''' * '''The majority of [[pacifists]] either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their [[thoughts]] beyond that point.''' But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but '''if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States. Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as such, but only violence used in defence of western countries.''' The Russians, unlike the British, are not blamed for defending themselves by warlike means, and indeed all pacifist propaganda of this type avoids mention of Russia or China. It is not claimed, again, that the Indians should abjure violence in their struggle against the British. Pacifist literature abounds with equivocal remarks which, if they mean anything, appear to mean that statesmen of the type of Hitler are preferable to those of the type of Churchill, and that violence is perhaps excusable if it is violent enough. After the fall of France, the French pacifists, faced by a real choice which their English colleagues have not had to make, mostly went over to the Nazis, and in England there appears to have been some small overlap of membership between the Peace Pledge Union and the Blackshirts. Pacifist writers have written in praise of Carlyle, one of the intellectual fathers of Fascism. '''All in all it is difficult not to feel that pacifism, as it appears among a section of the intelligentsia, is secretly inspired by an admiration for power and successful cruelty.''' * Many people were undisguisedly pleased when Singapore fell or when the British were driven out of Greece, and there was a remarkable unwillingness to believe in good news, e.g. el Alamein, or the number of German planes shot down in the Battle of Britain. English left-wing intellectuals did not, of course, actually want the Germans or Japanese to win the war, but many of them could not help getting a certain kick out of seeing their own country humiliated, and wanted to feel that the final victory would be due to Russia, or perhaps America, and not to Britain. * '''If one harbours anywhere in one's mind a nationalistic loyalty or hatred, certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.''' Here are just a few examples. I list below five types of nationalist, and against each I append a fact which it is impossible for that type of nationalist to accept, even in his secret thoughts: :: BRITISH TORY. Britain will come out of this war with reduced power and prestige. :: COMMUNIST. If she had not been aided by Britain and America, Russia would have been defeated by Germany. :: IRISH NATIONALIST. Eire can only remain independent because of British protection. :: TROTSKYIST. The Stalin regime is accepted by the Russian masses. :: PACIFIST. '''Those who "abjure" [[violence]] can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf.''' : '''All of these [[facts]] are grossly obvious if one's [[emotions]] do not happen to be involved: but to the kind of person named in each case they are also ''intolerable'', and so they have to be denied, and false theories constructed upon their denial.''' I come back to the astonishing failure of military prediction in the present war. It is, I think, true to say that the intelligentsia have been more wrong about the progress of the war than the common people, and that they were more swayed by partisan feelings. The average intellectual of the Left believed, for instance, that the war was lost in 1940, that the Germans were bound to overrun Egypt in 1942, that the Japanese would never be driven out of the lands they had conquered, and that the Anglo-American bombing offensive was making no impression on Germany. '''He could believe these things because his hatred for the British ruling class forbade him to admit that British plans could succeed. There is no limit to the follies that can be swallowed if one is under the influence of feelings of this kind.''' I have heard it confidently stated, for instance, that the American troops had been brought to Europe not to fight the Germans but to crush an English revolution. '''One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool.''' * '''There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when 'our' side commits it.''' === [[w:The Prevention of Literature|The Prevention of Literature]] (1946) === : <small>Published in ''Polemic'' (January 1946); [http://www.k-1.com/Orwell/site/work/essays/literature.html Full text online] - [http://www.george-orwell.org/The_Prevention_of_Literature/0.html alternate site]</small> * The enemies of intellectual [[liberty]] always try to present their case as a plea for [[discipline]] versus [[individualism]]. '''The issue [[truth]]-versus-untruth is as far as possible kept in the background.''' Although the point of emphasis may vary, the writer who refuses to sell his opinions is always branded as a mere egoist. He is accused, that is, either of wanting to shut himself up in an ivory tower, or of making an exhibitionist display of his own personality, or of resisting the inevitable current of history in an attempt to cling to unjustified privileges. * '''A [[Totalitarianism|totalitarian]] state is in effect a [[theocracy]], and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible.''' But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened. Then, again, every major change in policy demands a corresponding change of doctrine and a revaluation of prominent historical figures. * One need not swallow such absurdities as this, but one ought to recognise that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end. If you simplify your English, you are freed from the worst follies of orthodoxy. * Totalitarianism, however, does not so much promise an age of faith as an age of schizophrenia. '''A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.''' Such a society, no matter how long it persists, can never afford to become either tolerant or intellectually stable. '''It can never permit either the truthful recording of facts or the emotional sincerity that literary creation demands.''' But to be corrupted by totalitarianism one does not have to live in a totalitarian country. The mere prevalence of certain ideas can spread a kind of poison that makes one subject after another impossible for literary purposes. '''Wherever there is an enforced orthodoxy — or even two orthodoxies, as often happens — good writing stops.''' This was well illustrated by the Spanish civil war. To many English intellectuals the war was a deeply moving experience, but not an experience about which they could write sincerely. '''There were only two things that you were allowed to say, and both of them were palpable lies: as a result, the war produced acres of print but almost nothing worth reading.''' === [[w:Politics and the English Language|Politics and the English Language]] (1946) === [[File:Hypocrisie.jpg|right|thumb|If [[thought]] corrupts [[language]], language can also corrupt thought.]] : <small>Published in ''Horizon'' (April 1946); [http://orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_polit Full text online] - [http://www.k-1.com/Orwell/site/work/essays/language.html alternate site (no footnotes)]</small> * Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. * A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. * '''The word ''[[Fascism]]'' has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies "something not desirable". The words ''[[democracy]]'', ''[[socialism]]'', ''[[freedom]]'', ''[[patriotic]]'', ''[[realistic]]'', ''[[justice]]'' have each of them several different [[meanings]] which cannot be reconciled with one another.''' In the case of a [[word]] like ''democracy'', not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. '''Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different.''' Statements like ''[[w:Philippe Pétain|Marshal Petain]] was a true patriot'', ''The Soviet press is the freest in the world'', ''The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution'', are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: ''class'', ''[[totalitarian]]'', ''[[science]]'', ''progressive'', ''reactionary'', ''bourgeois'', ''[[equality]]''. * When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases -- ''bestial, atrocities, iron heel, bloodstained tyranny, free peoples of the world, stand shoulder to shoulder'' -- one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling which suddenly becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the speaker's spectacles and turns them into blank discs which seem to have no eyes behind them. And this is not altogether fanciful. A speaker who uses that kind of phraseology has gone some distance toward turning himself into a machine. The appropriate noises are coming out of his larynx, but his brain is not involved, as it would be if he were choosing his words for himself. If the speech he is making is one that he is accustomed to make over and over again, he may be almost unconscious of what he is saying, as one is when one utters the responses in church. And this reduced state of consciousness, if not indispensable, is at any rate favourable to political conformity. * The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ '''All issues are political issues, and [[politics]] itself is a mass of [[lies]], evasions, [[folly]], [[hatred]], and schizophrenia.''' When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. I should expect to find — this is a guess which I have not sufficient knowledge to verify — that the German, Russian and Italian languages have all deteriorated in the last ten or fifteen years, as a result of dictatorship. <br> '''But if [[thought]] corrupts [[language]], language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation even among people who should and do know better.''' * '''Orthodoxy, of whatever colour, seems to demand a lifeless, imitative style.''' * '''Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from [[Conservatives]] to [[Anarchists]] — is designed to make lies sound truthful and [[murder]] respectable, and to give an [[appearance]] of solidity to pure [[wind]].''' * '''Never use a [[metaphor]], simile, or other figure of [[speech]] which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do.''' If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. Never use the passive voice where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. '''Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.''' * One can cure oneself of the ''not un-'' formation by memorizing this sentence: ''A not unblack dog was chasing a not unsmall rabbit across a not ungreen field''. ** footnote 3 === [[w:Reflections on Gandhi|Reflections on Gandhi]] (1949) === [[File:Gandhi_smiling_1942.jpg|right|thumb|It is difficult to see how [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]]'s methods could be applied in a country where opponents of the regime disappear in the middle of the [[night]] and are never heard of again.

In [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi's]] case the questions one feels inclined to ask are: to what extent was Gandhi moved by [[vanity]] — by the consciousness of himself as a humble, naked old man, sitting on a praying mat and shaking empires by sheer [[spiritual]] [[power]] — and to what extent did he compromise his own [[principles]] by entering [[politics]], which of their [[nature]] are inseparable from coercion and fraud? To give a definite answer one would have to study Gandhi's [[Action|acts]] and [[writings]] in immense detail, for his whole life was a sort of pilgrimage in which every act was significant. * At about the time when the autobiography first appeared I remember reading its opening chapters in the ill-printed pages of some Indian newspaper. They made a good impression on me, which Gandhi himself at that time did not. * '''Strictly speaking, as a Nationalist, he was an enemy, but since in every crisis he would exert himself to prevent [[violence]] — which, from the British point of view, meant preventing any effective action whatever — he could be regarded as "our man." In private this was sometimes cynically admitted.''' The attitude of the Indian millionaires was similar. Gandhi called upon them to repent, and naturally they preferred him to the [[Socialists]] and [[Communists]] who, given the [[chance]], would actually have taken their [[money]] away. How reliable such calculations are in the long run is doubtful; as Gandhi himself says, "in the [[end]] deceivers deceive only themselves"; but at any rate the gentleness with which he was nearly always handled was due partly to the feeling that he was useful. * '''I could see even then that the British officials who spoke of him with a mixture of [[amusement]] and disapproval also genuinely liked and admired him, after a fashion. Nobody ever suggested that he was [[corrupt]], or ambitious in any vulgar way, or that anything he did was actuated by [[fear]] or [[malice]].''' In judging a man like Gandhi one seems instinctively to apply high standards, so that some of his [[virtues]] have passed almost unnoticed. For instance, it is clear even from the autobiography that his natural physical [[courage]] was quite outstanding: the manner of his [[death]] was a later illustration of this, for a public man who attached any value to his own skin would have been more adequately guarded. Again, he seems to have been quite free from that maniacal [[suspiciousness]] which, as [[E. M. Forster]] rightly says in ''A Passage to India'', is the besetting Indian vice, as [[hypocrisy]] is the British vice. '''Although no [[doubt]] he was shrewd enough in detecting dishonesty, he seems wherever possible to have believed that other people were acting in good [[faith]] and had a better [[nature]] through which they could be approached.''' * Of late years it has been the fashion to talk about Gandhi as though he were not only sympathetic to the Western Left-wing movement, but were integrally part of it. [[Anarchists]] and [[pacifists]], in particular, have claimed him for their own, noticing only that he was opposed to centralism and State violence and ignoring the other-worldly, anti-humanist tendency of his doctrines. * The essence of being [[human]] is that one does not seek [[perfection]], that one is sometimes willing to commit [[sins]] for the sake of [[loyalty]], that one does not push [[asceticism]] to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by [[life]], which is the inevitable price of fastening one's [[love]] upon other human individuals. * '''It is difficult to see how Gandhi's methods could be applied in a country where opponents of the regime disappear in the middle of the [[night]] and are never heard of again. Without a [[free press]] and the right of assembly, it is impossible not merely to appeal to outside opinion, but to bring a mass movement into being, or even to make your intentions known to your adversary.''' * '''One feels of him that there was much he did not [[understand]], but not that there was anything that he was frightened of saying or thinking.''' I have never been able to feel much liking for Gandhi, but I do not feel sure that as a political thinker he was [[wrong]] in the main, nor do I believe that his life was a [[failure]]. ... One may feel, as I do, a sort of aesthetic distaste for Gandhi, one may reject the claims of sainthood made on his behalf (he never made any such claim himself, by the way), one may also reject sainthood as an ideal and therefore feel that Gandhi's basic aims were anti-human and reactionary: but '''regarded simply as a politician, and compared with the other leading political figures of our time, how clean a smell he has managed to leave behind!''' {{Disputed begin}} == Disputed == * '''Within any important issue, there are always aspects no one wishes to discuss.''' ** Attributed to Orwell in ''State of Fear'' (2004) by [[Michael Crichton]], and ''Picking Fights with Thunderstorms'' (2005) by Sheila Suess Kennedy * '''In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.''' ** No source for this quote among Orwell's writings has yet been located, and the earliest published source of this phrase found on Google Books is [https://books.google.com.mx/books?id=kWD0AAAAMAAJ&q=%22truth+is+a+revolutionary+act%22&dq=%22truth+is+a+revolutionary+act%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjs0MKSqpbKAhWH0iYKHXj6ABUQ6AEIJjAD this snippet] from p. 5 of ''Science Dimension, Volumes 14–18'' (1982) published by the National Research Council Canada. Quote Investigator has an article [http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/02/24/truth-revolutionary/ "In a Time of Universal Deceit&nbsp;– Telling the Truth Is a Revolutionary Act"] indicating their attempts to trace the quote. The earliest similar remarks they had found were in a 1982 book titled “Partners in Ecocide: Australia’s Complicity in the Uranium Cartel” by Venturino Giorgio Venturini, where the word “universal” was omitted, and a specific originating text was not identified: "'''In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.'''" ** Variants: *** During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. *** In an age of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. *** In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. *** Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act. ***Truth is treason in an empire of lies. (Often attributed by Ron Paul to Orwell but never sourced.) **In the mid-19th century [[Karl Georg von Raumer]] made a remark, which has a similar meaning. In ''Geschichte der Pedagogic'' (1855), he states: 'Jede keimende Wahrheit ist revolutionär gegen den entgegenstehenden herrschenden Irrthum, jede keimende Tugend revolutionär gegen das im Schwange gehende, ihr widersprechende Laster' which translates as: "'''Every germinating truth is revolutionary against the opposing ruling error, every germinating virtue is revolutionary against popular contradictory lies.'''" **In 1898 French socialist Jean Jaurès said, "'''When a society, when an institution, lives only by lies, truth is revolutionary'''." He was speaking with reference to the ongoing Dreyfus Affair. The statement is quoted in Ruth Harris, ''The Man on Devil's Island: Alfred Dreyfus and the Affair that Divided France'' (2010), p. 262. (She cites ''Le petit Meridional'', 3 July 1898, as the original source.) This seems very close in spirit and in phrasing to the pseudo-Orwell quotation. (The cumulative index to the many volumes of Orwell's writing compiled and edited by Peter Davison does not reveal any direct references to Jaurès or the Dreyfus Affair.) * '''If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.''' ** Attributed to Orwell by John H.

[http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/11/07/rough-men/ Quote Investigator] found the earliest known appearance in a 1993 Washington Times essay by Richard Grenier: "As George Orwell pointed out, people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." The absence of quotation marks indicates Grenier was using his own words to convey Orwell's opinion; thus it may have originated as a paraphrase of his statement in ''Notes on Nationalism'' (May 1945): "'''Those who 'abjure' violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf.'''" There are also similar sentiments expressed in an essay which Orwell wrote on [[Rudyard Kipling]], quoting from one of Kipling's poems: "Yes, making mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep." In the same essay Orwell also wrote of Kipling: "He sees clearly that men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them." * '''It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact.''' ** [[Michael Moore]] declares these lines in his film [[Fahrenheit 9/11]], preceding them with the words "George Orwell once wrote that". They are nearly identical to a block of voiceover in the [[Nineteen_Eighty-Four_(film)#Winston_Smith|1984 Richard Burton/John Hurt movie version of ''1984'']] when Winston (Hurt) is silently reading Goldstein's book. All of the lines are excerpts from various parts of Goldstein's book in part 2, chapter 9 of the novel with some paraphrasing. Note that the fourth sentence begins with "This new version". In Moore's speech there is no antecedent for this phrase; consequently, the sentence makes no sense in that context.

There was a Roman grandeur about his refusal to concede to the inevitable that recalls memories of classical eulogies. It was not just the decision to carry on the chess game to mate, but the decision to provoke death by demonstrating his full abilities as a grandmaster, doomed but never defeated. It is a moving image, but we must abandon it: encouraging mythopoeia is not for historians. Tony has been presented as another George Orwell. This is wrong, because while both were enormously gifted and profoundly polemical, they were very different. Tony lacked Orwell's combination of prejudices, forward and backward-looking Old Testament prophecy and imaginative denunciation – he could never have written ''1984'' or ''Animal Farm''. And Orwell, the more powerful writer, had neither Tony's remarkable range of knowledge, nor his wit, intellectual speed and manoeuvrability: there is no way he could have doubled as an academic. But the comparison with Orwell is also dangerous because essentially it is not about two writers but about a political era that should now be over for good, the Cold War. Orwell's reputation was constructed as an intellectual anti-Soviet missile site and even today, when the rest of Orwell has emerged or re-emerged, it still remains frozen in the 1950s. Tony was, of course, as anti-Stalinist as anyone, and bitterly critical of those who did not abjure the CP even when they were demonstrably not Stalinists and were, like myself, slowly edging clear of the original world hope of October 1917. Like those opposed to the performing of Wagner in Israel, he could let political dislike get in the way of aesthetic enjoyment, dismissing Brecht's poem about the Comintern cadres, ‘An die Nachgeborenen''’'', ‘admired by so many’, as ‘obnoxious’ not on literary grounds, but because it inspired believers in an evil cause. Yet it is evident from ''Thinking the 20th Century'' that his basic concern during the acute phase of the Cold War was not the Russian threat to the ‘free world’ but the arguments within the left.​ Marx – not Stalin and the Gulag – was his subject. True, after 1968 he became much more of a militant oppositionist liberal over Eastern Europe, an admirer of the mixed but more usually right-wing academic tourists who provided much of our commentary on the end of the East European Communist regimes. This also led him and others who should have known better into creating the fairy tale of the Velvet and multicoloured revolutions of 1989 and after. There were no such revolutions, only different reactions to the Soviet decision to pull out. The real heroes of the period were Gorbachev, who destroyed the USSR, and men within the old system like Suárez in Franco’s Spain and Jaruzelski in Poland, who effectively ensured a peaceful transition and were execrated by both sides. Indeed, in the 1980s Tony’s essentially social-democratic liberalism was briefly infected by François Furet’s Hayekian economic libertarianism. I don’t think this late Cold War afterglow was central to Tony’s development, but it helped to give more body and depth to his very impressive ''Postwar''. **[[Eric Hobsbawm]], "After the Cold War", ''London Review of Books'' (2012) * '''The word ‘Orwellian’ is a daunting example of the fate that a distinguished writer can suffer at the hands of journalists.''' When, as almost invariably happens, a totalitarian set-up, whether in fact or in fantasy – in [[Brazil]] or in ''[[Brazil (film)|Brazil]]'' – is called Orwellian, it is as if George Orwell had conceived the nightmare instead of analysed it, helped to create it instead of helping to dispel its euphemistic thrall. (Similarly [[Kafka]], through the word Kafkaesque, gets the dubious credit for having somehow wished into existence the same sort of bureaucratic labyrinth that convulsed him to the heart.) Such distortions would be enough to make us give up on journalism altogether if we happened to forget that Orwell himself was a journalist. **[[Clive James]], in [http://www.clivejames.com/evenaswespeak/orwell "The All of Orwell"] in ''The New Yorker'' (18 January 1999), reprinted in ''Even As We Speak'' (2001), p. 12 * Two of Orwell's best attributes operating at once: '''he had a global grasp, and he was able to guess the truth by the way the other side told lies.''' **[[Clive James]], in "The All of Orwell" in ''The New Yorker'' (18 January 1999), reprinted in ''Even As We Speak'' (2001), p. 12 * Orwell served in a low-level but locally senior administrative capacity for the Burma imperial police from 1924 to 1927. Reading him, one never feels that he developed much of an interest in the Empire per se; his writings from those years suggest the emergence of a set of moral and political considerations—deriving to be sure from his criticisms of Imperial rule—which will in the fullness of time permeate his observations on England itself. Orwell's awareness that the Burmese (or Indian) question transcended issues of local injustice and concerned above all the impropriety and impossibility of imperial domination, would certainly color his political stance back home.<br>It seems fair to add that Orwell was one of the first commentators to grasp that issues of justice and subordination, no less than the traditional themes of class and politics, must be taken up by the Left—indeed, they were henceforth part of what it meant to be Left. We forget that well into the interwar decades it had been perfectly possible to combine social reformism and even political radicalism at home with liberal imperialism. Until quite recently it had been possible to believe that the key to social improvement in Britain lay in retaining, defending and even expanding the empire. By the 1930s, this position had begun to sound ethically as well as politically incoherent, and Orwell can take some credit for this shift in sensibilities. ** [[Tony Judt]], in Tony Judt and Timothy Snyder, ''Thinking the twentieth century'' (2012), Ch. 2: London and Language: English Writer * '''Blair's personal life and Orwell's public activity both reflected one powerfully single-minded personality. Blair-Orwell was made of one piece''': a recurrent theme in the testimonies of all those who knew him at close range was his "terrible simplicity." He had the "innocence of a savage." ... '''Orwell once defined himself half in jest — but only half — as a "Tory Anarchist." '''Indeed, after his first youthful experience in the colonial police in Burma, he only knew that he hated imperialism and all forms of political oppression; all authority appeared suspect to him, even "mere success seemed to me a form of bullying." Then after his inquiry into workers' conditions in northern industrial England during the Depression he developed a broad nonpartisan commitment to “socialism”: “socialism does mean justice and liberty when the nonsense is stripped off it.” The decisive turning point in his political evolution took place in Spain, where he volunteered to fight fascism. First he was nearly killed by a fascist bullet and then narrowly escaped being murdered by the [[Joseph Stalin|Stalinist]] secret police: :: What I saw in Spain, and what I have seen since of the inner workings of left-wing political parties, have given me a horror of politics…. '''I am definitely “left,” but I believe that a writer can only remain honest if he keeps free of party labels.''' : From then on he considered that the first duty of a socialist is to fight totalitarianism, which means in practice “to denounce the Soviet myth, for there is not much difference between Fascism and Stalinism.” :* [[w:Pierre Ryckmans|Simon Leys]], in [http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2011/may/26/intimate-orwell/?pagination=false "The Intimate Orwell" in ''''The New York Review of Books'' (26 May 2011)] * Though he was a strong believer in individual difference and came to fear, above all, the thought that people would become interchangeable parts in a totalitarian system, he seems to have felt that as a subject for study himself he was a universal, ''i.e.,'' a fair sample of his kind, capable of normative reactions under dissection. His end has something macabre in it, like the end of some Victorian pathologist who tested his theories on his own organs, neglecting asepsis. In his last letters, he speaks of his appearance as being "frightening," of being a "death's head," but all along he has been something of a specter at the feast. '''He was prone to see the handwriting on the wall, for England, for socialism, for personal liberty; indeed, his work is one insistent ''reminder,'' and his personal life — what we glimpse of it — even when he was fairly affluent seems to have been an illustrated lesson in survival techniques under extreme conditions, as though he expected to be cast adrift in a capsule.''' ** [[Mary McCarthy]], "The Writing on the Wall," (1969) ''The Writing on the Wall and Other Literary Essays'' <small>(Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1970, {{ISBN|0-15-698390-7}}), p. 159</small> * Although he was always critical of the 1945-51 Labour government's moderation, his support for it began to pull him to the right politically. This did not lead him to embrace conservatism, imperialism or reaction, but to defend, albeit critically, Labour reformism. <br> '''The other crucial dimension to Orwell's socialism was his recognition that the Soviet Union was not socialist.''' Unlike many on the left, instead of abandoning socialism once he discovered the full horror of Stalinist rule in the Soviet Union, Orwell abandoned the Soviet Union and instead remained a socialist — indeed he became more committed to the socialist cause than ever. ** [[w:John Newsinger|John Newsinger]], in [http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj62/newsinger.htm "Orwell and the Spanish Revolution" in ''International Socialism Journal'', No. 62 (Spring 1994)] * '''Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing.''' He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this [act of] being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. '''With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.''' ** [[Chuck Palahniuk]], ''[[Lullaby (novel)|Lullaby]]'' (2002) * '''There was something about him, the proud man apart, the Don Quixote on a bicycle (and if Saint [[Thomas More]] was the first Englisman, as one historian called him, then Orwell was perhaps the last) that caught one's imagination right away.''' That made one think of a knight errant and of social justice as the Holy Grail. '''One felt safe with him; he was so intellectually honest. His mind was like a court where the judge was the lawyer for the defence.''' ** Paul Potts, ''London Magazine'' (March 1957) * '''George Orwell was the wintry conscience of a generation which in the thirties had heard the call of the rasher assumptions of political faith.''' He was a kind of saint and, in that character, more likely in politics to chastise his own side than the enemy. ** [[V. S. Pritchett]], in ''New Statesman'' (1950) * '''Orwell in 1948 understood that despite the Axis defeat, the will to fascism had not gone away, that far from having seen its day it had perhaps not yet even come into its own — the corruption of spirit, the irresistible human addiction to power were already long in place, all well-known aspects of the Third Reich and Stalin's USSR, even the British Labour party — like first drafts of a terrible future.''' ** [[Thomas Pynchon]], "The Road to 1984" - foreword to a 2003 edition of ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' {{ISBN|0452284236}} * In Burma and [[Paris]] and [[London]] and on the road to Wigan pier, and in Spain, being shot at, and eventually wounded, by fascists — he had invested blood, pain and hard labour to earn his anger, and was as attached to it as any capitalist to his capital. It may be an affliction peculiar to writers more than others, this fear of getting too comfortable, of being bought off. ** [[Thomas Pynchon]], "The Road to 1984" - foreword to a 2003 edition of ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' {{ISBN|0452284236}} * The question remains, why end a novel as passionate, violent and dark as this one with what appears to be a scholarly appendix? <br> The answer may lie in simple grammar. '''From its first sentence, "The Principles of Newspeak" is written consistently in the past tense, as if to suggest some later piece of history, post-1984, in which Newspeak has become literally a thing of the past — as if in some way the anonymous author of this piece is by now free to discuss, critically and objectively, the political system of which Newspeak was, in its time, the essence.''' Moreover, it is our own pre-Newspeak English language that is being used to write the essay. Newspeak was supposed to have become general by 2050, and yet it appears that it did not last that long, let alone triumph, that the ancient humanistic ways of thinking inherent in standard English have persisted, survived, and ultimately prevailed, and that perhaps the social and moral order it speaks for has even, somehow, been restored. ** [[Thomas Pynchon]], "The Road to 1984" - foreword to a 2003 edition of ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' {{ISBN|0452284236}} * Orwell's defenders always look to contextualize Orwell's shortcomings in a historic moment. Whatever his infraction, he was a victim of circumstance — times were different then, and, for example, [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] was looking really good for a minute there. Orwell never meant that his books should be employed to stultify schoolchildren. '''And yet that's what ''[[Animal Farm]]'' is — an educational missile aimed at any healthy impulse towards reform.''' The argument that "Animal Farm" is a generalized indictment of totalitarianism is simply unsupportable by the text or any existing presentation of the text. Rather, the intelligence of the pigs as opposed to the stupidity of the other animals, and the ultimate hopelessness of revolution, renders ''Animal Farm'' a ''de facto'' endorsement of the ''status quo''. ** [[John Reed (novelist)|John Reed]], in [http://www.mobylives.com/Orwell_Reed.html "Saint George and the Damn Truth" (10 November 2003)] * '''What he feared most was the blind spot between us and the future, the space between identities where we could get lost forever.''' ** [[Wilfrid Sheed]], "George Orwell, Artist" (1972), ''The Good Word & Other Words'' <small>(Viking/Penguin, 1980, {{ISBN|0140054979}}), p. 46</small> * If we ask what it is he [Orwell] stands for, ... the answer is: the virtue of not being a genius, of fronting the world with nothing more than one's simple, direct, undeceived intelligence, and a respect for the powers one does have. ... He communicates to us the sense that what he has done any one of us could do. Or could do if we but made up our mind to do it, if we but surrendered a little of the can't that comforts us, if for a few weeks we paid no attention to the little group with which we habitually exchange opinions, if we took our chance of being wrong or inadequate, if we looked at things simply and directly, having in mind only our intention of finding out what they really are, not the prestige of our great intellectual act of looking at them. He liberates us. He tells us that we can understand our political and social life merely by looking around us; he frees us from the need for the inside dope. He implies that our job is not to be intellectual, certainly not to be intellectual in this fashion or that, but merely to be intelligent according to our own lights—'''he restores the old sense of the democracy of the mind, releasing us from the belief that the mind can work only in a technical, professional way and that it must work competitively'''. He has the effect of making us believe that we may become full members of the society of thinking men. That is why he is a figure for us. ** [[Lionel Trilling]], "George Orwell and the politics of truth," ''The Opposing Self'' (1950), pp. 156-158 * '''When I remember George Orwell, I see again the long, lined face that so often reminded me not of a living person, but of a character out of fiction. It was the nearest I had seen in real life to the imagined features of [[w:Don Quixote|Don Quixote]], and the rest of the figure went with the face.''' For Orwell was a thin, angular man, with worn gothic features accentuated by deep vertical furrows that ran down the cheeks and across the corners of the mouth. The thinness of his lips was emphasized by a very narrow line of dark moustache: it seemed a hard, almost cruel mouth, until he smiled, and then an expression of unexpected kindliness would irradiate his whole face. The general gauntness of his looks was accentuated by the deep sockets from which his eyes looked out, always rather sadly. ... '''The resemblance to Don Quixote was appropriate, for in many was Orwell can only be understood as an essentially quixotic man. ... He defended, passionately and as a matter of principle, unpopular causes.''' Often without regard to reason he would strike out against anything which offended his conceptions of right, justice and decency, yet, as many who crossed lances with him had reason to know, he could be a very chivalrous opponent, impelled by a sense of fair play that would lead to public recantation of accusations he had eventually decided were unfair. In his own way he was a man of the left, but he attacked its holy images as fervently as he did those of the right. And however much he might on occasion find himself in uneasy and temporary alliance with others, he was — in the end — as much a man in isolation as Don Quixote. '''His was the isolation of every man who seeks the truth diligently, no matter how unpleasant its implications may be to others or even to himself.''' ** [[George Woodcock]], in ''The Crystal Spirit: A Study of George Orwell'' (1966), Ch.

And on the other hand, the characters haven’t aged! * David and I talked about all the characters and worked together. My drawing style is actually pretty simple and crude -- I can't draw beautiful women, not even beautiful cyclops women -- so I turned my drawings over to real artists and let them make them better, and then I took those drawings and messed with them. There's nobody who's really sexy on "The Simpsons," but I learned that the animators could draw women in the "Simpsons" style who looked beautiful -- which was a great surprise to me! So I wanted to see if I could create a science fiction heroine -- except I wanted to mess with the fanboys, so I gave her one eye. The original Leela was far more conventionally sexy, in cartoon form. There's something about cartoonists and animators when it comes to drawing beautiful women they give them noses that are microscopic, and I gave her a nose more like Olive Oyl's, more in that direction. The animators were aghast at this revolting horror character -- you don't even notice it now. You probably can't even picture it, it's just a nose. And then she was dressed like Ripley from the first "Alien" movie. <br> With "Futurama," I wanted to do unrequited love, and David Cohen agreed, and although our original plan was never to have Fry and Leela get together, we finally just said, "You can only string the fans along so far." * With "Futurama," I was just worried that somebody would beat us to it; it seemed so obvious that there should be an animated science fiction show set in the future. And one of the reasons why it's not, I learned, is that it's really really difficult. Science fiction as comedy is tough to pull off, because so much science fiction is about genre and less about character. Which is one of the traditional criticisms of science fiction, that it's weak on character. The jokes are just a little harder [to write]. ** [[w:Matt Groening|Matt Groening]], [http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jul/24/entertainment/la-et-st-futurama-groening-interview-part-two-20130719/2 "'Futurama' ends: The Matt Groening interview, Part 2"] by Robert Lloyd, (July 24, 2013). ==Cast== '''Main Cast''' * Billy West: Philip J.

What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going?''' But when a man is caught in such a position he is judged only by his error and seldom given credit for the times he has extricated himself from worse situations. Worst of all, blame is heaped upon him by other pilots, all of whom have been in parallel situations themselves, but without being caught in them. '''If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes. That judgment, in turn, must rest upon one's outlook on life. Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. Why should we look for his errors when a brave man dies? Unless we can learn from his experience, there is no need to look for weakness. Rather, we should admire the courage and spirit in his life. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?''' ** Journal entry (26 August 1938); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Walked to Bill Castle's home at 6:00 — about ten minutes from the Anchorage. Fulton Lewis was the only other person there. The three of us had dinner together and discussed the European situation and the action this country should take if war breaks out over there. We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence in our press, radio and motion pictures. It may become very serious. Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual system if a certain feature were permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed. ** Journal entry (23 August 1939); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but the Administration seems to have ‘the bit in its teeth’ and is hell-bent on its way to war. Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio and most of our motion pictures. There are the ‘intellectuals’ and the ‘Anglophiles,’ and the British agents who are allowed free rein, the international financial interests, and many others. ** Journal entry (1 May 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Shall we now give up the independence we have won, and crusade abroad in a utopian attempt to force our ideas on the rest of the world; or shall we use air power, and the other advances of modern warfare, to guard and strengthen the independence of our nation? ** A speech on “Air Power” (29 August 1941) * The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt Administration.Instead of agitating for war, Jews in this country should be opposing it in every way, for they will be the first to feel its consequences. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government. ** Speech in Des Moines, Iowa lobbying for American isolationism (11 September 1941) * '''Now, all that I feared would happen has happened. We are at war all over the world, and we are unprepared for it from either a spiritual or a material standpoint. Fortunately, in spite of all that has been said, the oceans are still difficult to cross; and we have the time to adjust and prepare...''' We can, of course, be raided; but unless we let ourselves go completely to pieces internally, we cannot be invaded successfully. <br> But this is only one part of the picture. We are in a war which requires us to attack if we are to win it. We must attack in Asia and in Europe, in fact, all over the world. That means raising and equipping an army of many millions and building shipping, which we have not now got. And after that, if we are to carry through our present war aims, it probably means the bloodiest and most devastating war of all history. ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * We talk about spreading democracy and freedom all over the world, but they are to us words rather than conditions. We haven't even got them here in America, and the farther we get into this war the farther we get away from democracy and freedom. Where is it leading us to, and when will it end? The war might stop this winter, but that is improbable. It may go on for fifty years or more. That also is improbable. The elements are too conflicting and confused to form any accurate judgment of its length. '''There may be a series of wars, one after another, going on indefinitely. <br>[[Possibly]] the world will come to its senses sooner than I expect. But, as I have often said, the environment of human life has changed more rapidly and more extensively in recent years than it has ever changed before. When environment changes, there must be a corresponding change in life. That change must be so great that it is not likely to be completed in a decade or in a generation.''' ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * '''Here was a place where men and life and death had reached the lowest form of degradation. How could any reward in national progress even faintly justify the establishment and operation of such a place? ''' ** After visiting the [[w:Mittelbau-Dora|Mittelbau-Dora]] concentration camp in Germany, as quoted in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/lindbergh-jews.html ''The New York Times'' (20 April 1980)] * The intense artillery fire has stripped the trees of leaves and branches so that the outline of the coral ridge itself can be seen silhouetted against the sky. Since I have been on Owi Island, at irregular intervals through the night and day, the sound of our artillery bombarding this Japanese stronghold has floated in across the water. This afternoon, I stood on the cliff outside our quarters (not daring to sit on the ground because of the danger of typhus) and watched the shells bursting on the ridge. For weeks that handful of Japanese soldiers, variously estimated at between 250 and 700 men, has been holding out against overwhelming odds and the heaviest bombardment our well-supplied guns can give them. <br> If positions were reversed and our troops held out so courageously and well, their defense would be recorded as one of the most glorious examples of tenacity, bravery, and sacrifice in the history of our nation. But, sitting in the security and relative luxury of our quarters, I listen to American Army officers refer to these Japanese soldiers as "yellow sons of bitches." Their desire is to exterminate the Jap ruthlessly, even cruelly. I have not heard a word of respect or compassion spoken of our enemy since I came here. <br>'''It is not the willingness to kill on the part of our soldiers which most concerns me. That is an inherent part of war. It is our lack of respect for even the admirable characteristics of our enemy — for courage, for suffering, for death, for his willingness to die for his beliefs, for his companies and squadrons which go forth, one after another, to annihilation against our superior training and equipment. What is courage for us is fanaticism for him. We hold his examples of atrocity screamingly to the heavens while we cover up our own and condone them as just retribution for his acts.''' ** Journal entry (21 July 1944); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * What the German has done to the Jew in Europe, we are doing to the Jap in the Pacific. ** Journal entry (21 July 1944) * It was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of men — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same time. ** Thoughts on his first parachute jump in ''The Spirit of St Louis'' (1953) * '''Life — a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.''' ** ''Of Flight and Life'' (1948) * '''The wild world is the human world.''' Having evolved in it for millions of centuries, we are not far removed by a cloth of civilization. It is packed into our genes. '''In fact, the more power-driven, complex and delicate our civilization becomes, the more likelihood arises that a collapse will force us back to wildness.''' There is in wildness a natural wisdom that shapes all Earth's experiments with life. Can we tap this wisdom without experiencing the agony of reverting to wildness? Can we combine it with intellectual developments of which we feel so proud, use it to redirect our modern trends before they lead to a worse breakdown than past civilizations have experienced? I believe we can, and that to do so we must learn from the primitive. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * ...'''An overemphasis of science weakens human character and upset's life's essential balance. Science breeds technology. Technology leads to infinite complication.''' Examples are everywhere: in the intricacy of government and in that of business corporations: in automation and labor relations; in war, diplomacy, taxation, legislation, in almost every field of modern man's routine. From the growth of cities to that of military power, from medical requirements to social-welfare benefits, '''when progress is plotted against time, exponential curves result with which we cannot long conform. But what action should scientific man prescribe as a result of the curves he plots? How is their direction to be changed without another breakdown and return to wildness? Suppose technologists conclude theoretically that they are destroying their own culture. Are they capable of taking effective action to prevent such destruction?'''<br> '''The failures of previous civilizations, and the crises existing for our own, show that man has not evolved the ability to cope with limitless complication.''' He has not discovered how to control his sciences' parabolas. Here I believe '''the human intellect can learn from primitive nature, for nature was conceived in cosmic power and thrives on infinite complication. No problem has been too difficult for it to solve. From the dynamics of an atom, nature produces the tranquility of a flower, the joy of a porpoise, the intellect of man–the miracle of life.'''<br> '''In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.''' The construction of an analogue computer or a supersonic airplane is simple when compared to the mixture of space and evolutionary eons represented by a cell. '''In primitive rather than in civilized surroundings I grow aware of man's evolving status, as though I were suddenly released from a hypnotic state. Life itself becomes the standard of all judgement.''' How could I have overlooked, even momentarily, such an obvious fact? ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * '''Our ideals, laws and customs should be based on the proposition that each generation, in turn, becomes the custodian rather than the absolute owner of our resources and each generation has the obligation to pass this inheritance on to the future.''' ** ''New York Times Magazine'' (23 May 1971) * Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values...

It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion; another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe — one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. * A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles' heel is time. Its children, what of them? The second and third generations, of what numbers and stuff will they be? '''How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life.''' This is our modern danger — one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge. * '''Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.''' <br> If only there were some way to measure the changing character of men, some yardstick to reapportion influence among the nations, some way to demonstrate in peace the strength of arms in war. But with all of its dimensions, its clocks, and weights, and figures, science fails us when we ask a measure for the rights of men. They cannot be judged by numbers, by distance, weight, or time; or by counting heads without a thought of what may lie within. Those intangible qualities of character, such as courage, faith, and skill, evade all systems, slip through the bars of every cage. They can be recognized, but not measured. * '''The forces of [[Hannibal]], [[Francis Drake|Drake]] and [[Napoleon]] moved at best with the horses' gallop or the speed of wind on sail. Now, aviation brings a new concept of time and distance to the affairs of men. It demands adaptability to change, places a premium on quickness of thought and speed of action.''' <br> Military strength has become more dynamic and less tangible. A new alignment of power has taken place, and there is no adequate peacetime measure for its effect on the influence of nations. There seems no way to agree on the rights it brings to some and takes from others. * Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races. <br> We need peace to let our best men live to work out those more subtle, but equally dangerous, problems brought by this new environment in which we dwell, to give us time to turn this materialistic trend, to stop prostrating ourselves before this modern idol of mechanical efficiency, to find means of combining freedom, spirit, and beauty with industrial life — a peace which will bring character, strength, and security back to Western peoples. === ''Autobiography of Values'' (1978) === [[File:Charles Lindbergh, wearing helmet with goggles up.jpg|thumb|In some [[future]] incarnation from our [[life]] stream, we may even [[understand]] the [[reason]] for our [[existence]] in forms of [[earthly]] life.

But as AD twentieth-century man, I am billions of years old. The life I consider as myself has existed though past eons with unbroken continuity. Individuals are custodians of the life stream — temporal manifestations of far greater being, forming from and returning to their essence like so many dreams. ... '''I recall standing on the edge of a deep valley in the [[Hawaiian]] [[island]] of [[w:Maui|Maui]], thinking that the life stream is like a [[mountain]] [[river]] — springing from hidden sources, born out of the [[earth]], touched by [[stars]], merging, blending, evolving in the shape [[momentarily]] seen.''' It is [[molecules]] probing through time, found smooth-flowing, adjusted to shaped and shaping banks, roiled by [[rocks]] and [[tree]] trunks — composed again.

In the spring of 1927, Lindbergh had been too consumed by what he called "the single objective of landing my plane at Paris" to have considered its aftermath. "To plan beyond that had seemed an act of arrogance I could not afford," he would later write. '''Even if he had thought farther ahead, however, he could never have predicted the unprecedented global response to his arrival.''' <br> By that year, radio, telephones, radiographs, and the Bartlane Cable Process could transmit images and voices around the world within seconds. What was more, motion pictures had just mastered the synchronization of sound, allowing dramatic moments to be preserved in all their glory and distributed worldwide. '''For the first time all of civilization could share as one the sights and sounds of an event — almost instantaneously and simultaneously. And in this unusually good-looking, young aviator — of apparently impeccable character — the new technology found its first superstar.'''<br>The reception in Paris was only a harbinger of the unprecedented worship people would pay Lindbergh for years. Without either belittling or aggrandizing the importance of his flight, he considered it part of the continuum of human endeavor, and that he was, after all, only a man. The public saw more than that... '''Universally admired, Charles Lindbergh became the most celebrated living person ever to walk the earth.''' ** [[w:A. Scott Berg|A. Scott Berg]] in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * As the first American airman to exhibit "the right stuff," Lindbergh inspired his country's first astronauts by sheer example. But more than that, he was — unknown to the public — the man most responsible for securing the funding that underwrote the research of Dr. [[w:Robert H. Goddard|Robert H. Goddard]], the inventor of the modern rocket. '''A friend of the first man to fly an airplane, Lindbergh lived long enough in a fast-moving world to befriend the first man to walk on the moon.''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * '''Lindbergh believed all the elements of the earth and heavens are connected, through space and time.''' The configurations of molecules in each moment help create the next. Thus he considered his defining moment just another step in the development of aviation and exploration — a summit built on all those that preceded it and a springboard to all those that would follow. '''Only by looking back, Lindbergh believed, could mankind move forward. "In some future incarnation from our life stream," he wrote in later years, "we may understand the reason for our existence in forms of earthly life." ''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * No source, however, captures the war hates and war crimes of this merciless struggle more soberly than Charles Lindbergh's diary. For over four months in mid-1944, Lindbergh lived and flew as a civilian observer with U.S. forces based in New Guinea, and as the weeks passed he became deeply troubled, not by the willingness to kill on the part of the soldiers, which he accepted as an inherent part of the war, but by the utter contempt in which Allied fighting men held their Japanese adversaries. The famous "Lone Eagle," whose isolationist sentiments had placed him among the conservative opponents of President Roosevelt's policies, really hearkened back to what [J. Glenn Gray] has called the more chivalrous tradition of the professional militarist, who accepts the necessity of war while maintaining respect for his adversaries, recognizing courage as courage and duty as duty, irrespective of the uniform worn. Lindbergh found no such sentiments among the Allied forces in the Pacific, where officers and enlisted men alike saw the enemy simply as animals and "yellow sons of bitches," and his detailed journal may be the most forthright firsthand account available of the "other" side of the Pacific War. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69 * On May 18, 1944, about two weeks after Lindbergh had tied in with a Marine unit, he recorded that the camps were full of reports of Japanese torture and the beheading of captured American pilots. A month later, on June 21, he summarized the conversation of an American general who told how an unsuspecting Japanese prisoner was given a cigarette and then seized from behind and had his throat "slit from ear to ear" as a demonstration of how to kill Japanese. Lindbergh's objections were met with tolerant scorn and pity. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69-70 * On August 30, Lindbergh visited Tarawa, recalled the terrible casualties there, and told of a naval officer who lined up the few Japanese captured, kept those who could speak English for questioning, and had the rest killed. In early September, he noted that on some islands Marines actually dug up dead bodies in their search for gold teeth. Elsewhere they collected noses as well as ears, teeth, and skulls. When Lindbergh finally left the Pacific islands and cleared customs in Hawaii, he was asked if he had any bones in his baggage. It was, he was told, a routine question. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 71 * '''Charles is life itself — pure life, force, like sunlight — and it is for this that I married him and this that holds me to him''' — caring always, caring desperately what happens to him and whatever he happens to be involved in. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in ''War Within and Without'' (1980) * '''Charles was a stubborn Swede, you know, and he himself never felt the need to explain his feelings about where he stood and about past statements.''' But I feel free now to elaborate on his actual attitudes. '''He never wanted to be regarded as a [[hero]] or [[leader]], and he never had [[political]] [[ambitions]].''' His prewar isolationist speeches were given in all [[sincerity]] for what he thought was the good of the country and the world. ... He was accused of being anti-Semetic, but in the 45 years I lived with him I never heard him make a remark against the [[Jews]], not a crack or joke, and neither did any of our children. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/lindbergh-jews.html ''The New York Times'' (20 April 1980)] * '''No one I know of has foreseen an [[America]] like the one we live in today.''' No one (except perhaps the acidic [[H. L. Mencken]], who famously described American democracy as “the worship of jackals by jackasses”) could have imagined that the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an [[Orwellian]] Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous ''[[w:Commedia dell'arte|commedia dell’arte]]'' figure of the boastful buffoon. How naïve I was in 1960 to think that I was an American living in preposterous times! How quaint! But then what could I know in 1960 of 1963 or 1968 or 1974 or 2001 or 2016? ... However prescient ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' might seem to you, there is surely one enormous difference between the political circumstances I invent there for the U.S. in 1940 and the political calamity that dismays us so today. It's the difference in stature between a President Lindbergh and a President Trump. '''Charles Lindbergh, in life as in my novel, may have been a genuine [[racist]] and an [[anti-Semite]] and a white supremacist sympathetic to [[Fascism]], but he was also — because of the extraordinary feat of his solo trans-Atlantic flight at the age of 25 — an authentic American [[hero]] 13 years before I have him winning the presidency. ... Trump, by comparison, is a massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies, devoid of everything but the hollow [[ideology]] of a megalomaniac.''' ** [[Philip Roth]], comparing Lindbergh's leadership of an "[[w:America First (policy)|America First]]" movement with that of [[Donald Trump]], in responses to being asked about foreseeing an America such as now exists in his earlier writings, including his alternate-history novel ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' (2004) where Lindbergh defeats [[FDR]] for the presidency in 1940, as quoted in [https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/books/review/philip-roth-interview.html "No Longer Writing, Philip Roth Still Has Plenty to Say" by Charles Mcgrath, in ''The New York Times'' (16 January 2018)] * The people of England are about finished with him. Americans are beginning to feel the same way, and the halo of hero worship around Lindbergh's head is getting pretty well tarnished. ** New Jersey Attorney General David P.

What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going?''' But when a man is caught in such a position he is judged only by his error and seldom given credit for the times he has extricated himself from worse situations. Worst of all, blame is heaped upon him by other pilots, all of whom have been in parallel situations themselves, but without being caught in them. '''If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes. That judgment, in turn, must rest upon one's outlook on life. Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. Why should we look for his errors when a brave man dies? Unless we can learn from his experience, there is no need to look for weakness. Rather, we should admire the courage and spirit in his life. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?''' ** Journal entry (26 August 1938); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Walked to Bill Castle's home at 6:00 — about ten minutes from the Anchorage. Fulton Lewis was the only other person there. The three of us had dinner together and discussed the European situation and the action this country should take if war breaks out over there. We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence in our press, radio and motion pictures. It may become very serious. Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual system if a certain feature were permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed. ** Journal entry (23 August 1939); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but the Administration seems to have ‘the bit in its teeth’ and is hell-bent on its way to war. Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio and most of our motion pictures. There are the ‘intellectuals’ and the ‘Anglophiles,’ and the British agents who are allowed free rein, the international financial interests, and many others. ** Journal entry (1 May 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Shall we now give up the independence we have won, and crusade abroad in a utopian attempt to force our ideas on the rest of the world; or shall we use air power, and the other advances of modern warfare, to guard and strengthen the independence of our nation? ** A speech on “Air Power” (29 August 1941) * The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt Administration.Instead of agitating for war, Jews in this country should be opposing it in every way, for they will be the first to feel its consequences. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government. ** Speech in Des Moines, Iowa lobbying for American isolationism (11 September 1941) * '''Now, all that I feared would happen has happened. We are at war all over the world, and we are unprepared for it from either a spiritual or a material standpoint. Fortunately, in spite of all that has been said, the oceans are still difficult to cross; and we have the time to adjust and prepare...''' We can, of course, be raided; but unless we let ourselves go completely to pieces internally, we cannot be invaded successfully. <br> But this is only one part of the picture. We are in a war which requires us to attack if we are to win it. We must attack in Asia and in Europe, in fact, all over the world. That means raising and equipping an army of many millions and building shipping, which we have not now got. And after that, if we are to carry through our present war aims, it probably means the bloodiest and most devastating war of all history. ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * We talk about spreading democracy and freedom all over the world, but they are to us words rather than conditions. We haven't even got them here in America, and the farther we get into this war the farther we get away from democracy and freedom. Where is it leading us to, and when will it end? The war might stop this winter, but that is improbable. It may go on for fifty years or more. That also is improbable. The elements are too conflicting and confused to form any accurate judgment of its length. '''There may be a series of wars, one after another, going on indefinitely. <br>[[Possibly]] the world will come to its senses sooner than I expect. But, as I have often said, the environment of human life has changed more rapidly and more extensively in recent years than it has ever changed before. When environment changes, there must be a corresponding change in life. That change must be so great that it is not likely to be completed in a decade or in a generation.''' ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * '''Here was a place where men and life and death had reached the lowest form of degradation. How could any reward in national progress even faintly justify the establishment and operation of such a place?

Since I have been on Owi Island, at irregular intervals through the night and day, the sound of our artillery bombarding this Japanese stronghold has floated in across the water. This afternoon, I stood on the cliff outside our quarters (not daring to sit on the ground because of the danger of typhus) and watched the shells bursting on the ridge. For weeks that handful of Japanese soldiers, variously estimated at between 250 and 700 men, has been holding out against overwhelming odds and the heaviest bombardment our well-supplied guns can give them. <br> If positions were reversed and our troops held out so courageously and well, their defense would be recorded as one of the most glorious examples of tenacity, bravery, and sacrifice in the history of our nation. But, sitting in the security and relative luxury of our quarters, I listen to American Army officers refer to these Japanese soldiers as "yellow sons of bitches." Their desire is to exterminate the Jap ruthlessly, even cruelly. I have not heard a word of respect or compassion spoken of our enemy since I came here. <br>'''It is not the willingness to kill on the part of our soldiers which most concerns me. That is an inherent part of war. It is our lack of respect for even the admirable characteristics of our enemy — for courage, for suffering, for death, for his willingness to die for his beliefs, for his companies and squadrons which go forth, one after another, to annihilation against our superior training and equipment.

It lay beyond the descriptive words of men — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same time. ** Thoughts on his first parachute jump in ''The Spirit of St Louis'' (1953) * '''Life — a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.''' ** ''Of Flight and Life'' (1948) * '''The wild world is the human world.''' Having evolved in it for millions of centuries, we are not far removed by a cloth of civilization. It is packed into our genes. '''In fact, the more power-driven, complex and delicate our civilization becomes, the more likelihood arises that a collapse will force us back to wildness.''' There is in wildness a natural wisdom that shapes all Earth's experiments with life. Can we tap this wisdom without experiencing the agony of reverting to wildness? Can we combine it with intellectual developments of which we feel so proud, use it to redirect our modern trends before they lead to a worse breakdown than past civilizations have experienced? I believe we can, and that to do so we must learn from the primitive. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * ...'''An overemphasis of science weakens human character and upset's life's essential balance. Science breeds technology. Technology leads to infinite complication.''' Examples are everywhere: in the intricacy of government and in that of business corporations: in automation and labor relations; in war, diplomacy, taxation, legislation, in almost every field of modern man's routine. From the growth of cities to that of military power, from medical requirements to social-welfare benefits, '''when progress is plotted against time, exponential curves result with which we cannot long conform. But what action should scientific man prescribe as a result of the curves he plots? How is their direction to be changed without another breakdown and return to wildness? Suppose technologists conclude theoretically that they are destroying their own culture. Are they capable of taking effective action to prevent such destruction?'''<br>'''The failures of previous civilizations, and the crises existing for our own, show that man has not evolved the ability to cope with limitless complication.''' He has not discovered how to control his sciences' parabolas. Here I believe '''the human intellect can learn from primitive nature, for nature was conceived in cosmic power and thrives on infinite complication. No problem has been too difficult for it to solve. From the dynamics of an atom, nature produces the tranquility of a flower, the joy of a porpoise, the intellect of man–the miracle of life.'''<br>'''In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.''' The construction of an analogue computer or a supersonic airplane is simple when compared to the mixture of space and evolutionary eons represented by a cell. '''In primitive rather than in civilized surroundings I grow aware of man's evolving status, as though I were suddenly released from a hypnotic state. Life itself becomes the standard of all judgement.'''

It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion; another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe — one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. * A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles' heel is time. Its children, what of them? The second and third generations, of what numbers and stuff will they be? '''How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life.''' This is our modern danger — one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge. * '''Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.''' <br> If only there were some way to measure the changing character of men, some yardstick to reapportion influence among the nations, some way to demonstrate in peace the strength of arms in war. But with all of its dimensions, its clocks, and weights, and figures, science fails us when we ask a measure for the rights of men. They cannot be judged by numbers, by distance, weight, or time; or by counting heads without a thought of what may lie within. Those intangible qualities of character, such as courage, faith, and skill, evade all systems, slip through the bars of every cage. They can be recognized, but not measured. * '''The forces of [[Hannibal]], [[Francis Drake|Drake]] and [[Napoleon]] moved at best with the horses' gallop or the speed of wind on sail. Now, aviation brings a new concept of time and distance to the affairs of men. It demands adaptability to change, places a premium on quickness of thought and speed of action.''' <br> Military strength has become more dynamic and less tangible. A new alignment of power has taken place, and there is no adequate peacetime measure for its effect on the influence of nations. There seems no way to agree on the rights it brings to some and takes from others. * Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races. <br> We need peace to let our best men live to work out those more subtle, but equally dangerous, problems brought by this new environment in which we dwell, to give us time to turn this materialistic trend, to stop prostrating ourselves before this modern idol of mechanical efficiency, to find means of combining freedom, spirit, and beauty with industrial life — a peace which will bring character, strength, and security back to Western peoples. === ''Autobiography of Values'' (1978) === [[File:Charles Lindbergh, wearing helmet with goggles up.jpg|thumb|In some [[future]] incarnation from our [[life]] stream, we may even [[understand]] the [[reason]] for our [[existence]] in forms of [[earthly]] life.

In the spring of 1927, Lindbergh had been too consumed by what he called "the single objective of landing my plane at Paris" to have considered its aftermath. "To plan beyond that had seemed an act of arrogance I could not afford," he would later write. '''Even if he had thought farther ahead, however, he could never have predicted the unprecedented global response to his arrival.''' <br> By that year, radio, telephones, radiographs, and the Bartlane Cable Process could transmit images and voices around the world within seconds. What was more, motion pictures had just mastered the synchronization of sound, allowing dramatic moments to be preserved in all their glory and distributed worldwide. '''For the first time all of civilization could share as one the sights and sounds of an event — almost instantaneously and simultaneously. And in this unusually good-looking, young aviator — of apparently impeccable character — the new technology found its first superstar.'''<br>The reception in Paris was only a harbinger of the unprecedented worship people would pay Lindbergh for years. Without either belittling or aggrandizing the importance of his flight, he considered it part of the continuum of human endeavor, and that he was, after all, only a man. The public saw more than that... '''Universally admired, Charles Lindbergh became the most celebrated living person ever to walk the earth.''' ** [[w:A. Scott Berg|A. Scott Berg]] in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * As the first American airman to exhibit "the right stuff," Lindbergh inspired his country's first astronauts by sheer example. But more than that, he was — unknown to the public — the man most responsible for securing the funding that underwrote the research of Dr. [[w:Robert H. Goddard|Robert H. Goddard]], the inventor of the modern rocket. '''A friend of the first man to fly an airplane, Lindbergh lived long enough in a fast-moving world to befriend the first man to walk on the moon.''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * '''Lindbergh believed all the elements of the earth and heavens are connected, through space and time.''' The configurations of molecules in each moment help create the next. Thus he considered his defining moment just another step in the development of aviation and exploration — a summit built on all those that preceded it and a springboard to all those that would follow. '''Only by looking back, Lindbergh believed, could mankind move forward. "In some future incarnation from our life stream," he wrote in later years, "we may understand the reason for our existence in forms of earthly life." ''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * No source, however, captures the war hates and war crimes of this merciless struggle more soberly than Charles Lindbergh's diary. For over four months in mid-1944, Lindbergh lived and flew as a civilian observer with U.S. forces based in New Guinea, and as the weeks passed he became deeply troubled, not by the willingness to kill on the part of the soldiers, which he accepted as an inherent part of the war, but by the utter contempt in which Allied fighting men held their Japanese adversaries. The famous "Lone Eagle," whose isolationist sentiments had placed him among the conservative opponents of President Roosevelt's policies, really hearkened back to what [J. Glenn Gray] has called the more chivalrous tradition of the professional militarist, who accepts the necessity of war while maintaining respect for his adversaries, recognizing courage as courage and duty as duty, irrespective of the uniform worn. Lindbergh found no such sentiments among the Allied forces in the Pacific, where officers and enlisted men alike saw the enemy simply as animals and "yellow sons of bitches," and his detailed journal may be the most forthright firsthand account available of the "other" side of the Pacific War. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69 * On May 18, 1944, about two weeks after Lindbergh had tied in with a Marine unit, he recorded that the camps were full of reports of Japanese torture and the beheading of captured American pilots. A month later, on June 21, he summarized the conversation of an American general who told how an unsuspecting Japanese prisoner was given a cigarette and then seized from behind and had his throat "slit from ear to ear" as a demonstration of how to kill Japanese. Lindbergh's objections were met with tolerant scorn and pity. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69-70 * On August 30, Lindbergh visited Tarawa, recalled the terrible casualties there, and told of a naval officer who lined up the few Japanese captured, kept those who could speak English for questioning, and had the rest killed. In early September, he noted that on some islands Marines actually dug up dead bodies in their search for gold teeth. Elsewhere they collected noses as well as ears, teeth, and skulls. When Lindbergh finally left the Pacific islands and cleared customs in Hawaii, he was asked if he had any bones in his baggage. It was, he was told, a routine question. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 71 * '''Charles is life itself — pure life, force, like sunlight — and it is for this that I married him and this that holds me to him''' — caring always, caring desperately what happens to him and whatever he happens to be involved in. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in ''War Within and Without'' (1980) * '''Charles was a stubborn Swede, you know, and he himself never felt the need to explain his feelings about where he stood and about past statements.''' But I feel free now to elaborate on his actual attitudes. '''He never wanted to be regarded as a [[hero]] or [[leader]], and he never had [[political]] [[ambitions]].''' His prewar isolationist speeches were given in all [[sincerity]] for what he thought was the good of the country and the world. ... He was accused of being anti-Semetic, but in the 45 years I lived with him I never heard him make a remark against the [[Jews]], not a crack or joke, and neither did any of our children. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/lindbergh-jews.html ''The New York Times'' (20 April 1980)] * '''No one I know of has foreseen an [[America]] like the one we live in today.''' No one (except perhaps the acidic [[H. L. Mencken]], who famously described American democracy as “the worship of jackals by jackasses”) could have imagined that the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an [[Orwellian]] Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous ''[[w:Commedia dell'arte|commedia dell’arte]]'' figure of the boastful buffoon. How naïve I was in 1960 to think that I was an American living in preposterous times! How quaint! But then what could I know in 1960 of 1963 or 1968 or 1974 or 2001 or 2016? ... However prescient ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' might seem to you, there is surely one enormous difference between the political circumstances I invent there for the U.S. in 1940 and the political calamity that dismays us so today. It's the difference in stature between a President Lindbergh and a President Trump. '''Charles Lindbergh, in life as in my novel, may have been a genuine [[racist]] and an [[anti-Semite]] and a white supremacist sympathetic to [[Fascism]], but he was also — because of the extraordinary feat of his solo trans-Atlantic flight at the age of 25 — an authentic American [[hero]] 13 years before I have him winning the presidency. ... Trump, by comparison, is a massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies, devoid of everything but the hollow [[ideology]] of a megalomaniac.''' ** [[Philip Roth]], comparing Lindbergh's leadership of an "[[w:America First (policy)|America First]]" movement with that of [[Donald Trump]], in responses to being asked about foreseeing an America such as now exists in his earlier writings, including his alternate-history novel ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' (2004) where Lindbergh defeats [[FDR]] for the presidency in 1940, as quoted in [https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/books/review/philip-roth-interview.html "No Longer Writing, Philip Roth Still Has Plenty to Say" by Charles Mcgrath, in ''The New York Times'' (16 January 2018)] * The people of England are about finished with him. Americans are beginning to feel the same way, and the halo of hero worship around Lindbergh's head is getting pretty well tarnished. ** New Jersey Attorney General David P.

What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going?''' But when a man is caught in such a position he is judged only by his error and seldom given credit for the times he has extricated himself from worse situations. Worst of all, blame is heaped upon him by other pilots, all of whom have been in parallel situations themselves, but without being caught in them. '''If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes. That judgment, in turn, must rest upon one's outlook on life. Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. Why should we look for his errors when a brave man dies? Unless we can learn from his experience, there is no need to look for weakness. Rather, we should admire the courage and spirit in his life. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?''' ** Journal entry (26 August 1938); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Walked to Bill Castle's home at 6:00 — about ten minutes from the Anchorage. Fulton Lewis was the only other person there. The three of us had dinner together and discussed the European situation and the action this country should take if war breaks out over there. We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence in our press, radio and motion pictures. It may become very serious. Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual system if a certain feature were permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed. ** Journal entry (23 August 1939); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but the Administration seems to have ‘the bit in its teeth’ and is hell-bent on its way to war. Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio and most of our motion pictures. There are the ‘intellectuals’ and the ‘Anglophiles,’ and the British agents who are allowed free rein, the international financial interests, and many others. ** Journal entry (1 May 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Shall we now give up the independence we have won, and crusade abroad in a utopian attempt to force our ideas on the rest of the world; or shall we use air power, and the other advances of modern warfare, to guard and strengthen the independence of our nation? ** A speech on “Air Power” (29 August 1941) * The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt Administration.Instead of agitating for war, Jews in this country should be opposing it in every way, for they will be the first to feel its consequences. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government. ** Speech in Des Moines, Iowa lobbying for American isolationism (11 September 1941) * '''Now, all that I feared would happen has happened. We are at war all over the world, and we are unprepared for it from either a spiritual or a material standpoint. Fortunately, in spite of all that has been said, the oceans are still difficult to cross; and we have the time to adjust and prepare...''' We can, of course, be raided; but unless we let ourselves go completely to pieces internally, we cannot be invaded successfully. <br> But this is only one part of the picture. We are in a war which requires us to attack if we are to win it. We must attack in Asia and in Europe, in fact, all over the world. That means raising and equipping an army of many millions and building shipping, which we have not now got. And after that, if we are to carry through our present war aims, it probably means the bloodiest and most devastating war of all history. ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * We talk about spreading democracy and freedom all over the world, but they are to us words rather than conditions. We haven't even got them here in America, and the farther we get into this war the farther we get away from democracy and freedom. Where is it leading us to, and when will it end? The war might stop this winter, but that is improbable. It may go on for fifty years or more. That also is improbable. The elements are too conflicting and confused to form any accurate judgment of its length. '''There may be a series of wars, one after another, going on indefinitely. <br>[[Possibly]] the world will come to its senses sooner than I expect. But, as I have often said, the environment of human life has changed more rapidly and more extensively in recent years than it has ever changed before. When environment changes, there must be a corresponding change in life. That change must be so great that it is not likely to be completed in a decade or in a generation.''' ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * '''Here was a place where men and life and death had reached the lowest form of degradation.

Since I have been on Owi Island, at irregular intervals through the night and day, the sound of our artillery bombarding this Japanese stronghold has floated in across the water. This afternoon, I stood on the cliff outside our quarters (not daring to sit on the ground because of the danger of typhus) and watched the shells bursting on the ridge. For weeks that handful of Japanese soldiers, variously estimated at between 250 and 700 men, has been holding out against overwhelming odds and the heaviest bombardment our well-supplied guns can give them. <br> If positions were reversed and our troops held out so courageously and well, their defense would be recorded as one of the most glorious examples of tenacity, bravery, and sacrifice in the history of our nation. But, sitting in the security and relative luxury of our quarters, I listen to American Army officers refer to these Japanese soldiers as "yellow sons of bitches." Their desire is to exterminate the Jap ruthlessly, even cruelly. I have not heard a word of respect or compassion spoken of our enemy since I came here. <br>'''It is not the willingness to kill on the part of our soldiers which most concerns me. That is an inherent part of war. It is our lack of respect for even the admirable characteristics of our enemy — for courage, for suffering, for death, for his willingness to die for his beliefs, for his companies and squadrons which go forth, one after another, to annihilation against our superior training and equipment.

It lay beyond the descriptive words of men — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same time. ** Thoughts on his first parachute jump in ''The Spirit of St Louis'' (1953) * '''Life — a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.''' ** ''Of Flight and Life'' (1948) * '''The wild world is the human world.''' Having evolved in it for millions of centuries, we are not far removed by a cloth of civilization. It is packed into our genes. '''In fact, the more power-driven, complex and delicate our civilization becomes, the more likelihood arises that a collapse will force us back to wildness.''' There is in wildness a natural wisdom that shapes all Earth's experiments with life. Can we tap this wisdom without experiencing the agony of reverting to wildness? Can we combine it with intellectual developments of which we feel so proud, use it to redirect our modern trends before they lead to a worse breakdown than past civilizations have experienced? I believe we can, and that to do so we must learn from the primitive. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * ...'''An overemphasis of science weakens human character and upsets life's essential balance. Science breeds technology. Technology leads to infinite complication.''' Examples are everywhere: in the intricacy of government and in that of business corporations: in automation and labor relations; in war, diplomacy, taxation, legislation, in almost every field of modern man's routine. From the growth of cities to that of military power, from medical requirements to social-welfare benefits, '''when progress is plotted against time, exponential curves result with which we cannot long conform. But what action should scientific man prescribe as a result of the curves he plots? How is their direction to be changed without another breakdown and return to wildness? Suppose technologists conclude theoretically that they are destroying their own culture. Are they capable of taking effective action to prevent such destruction?'''<br>'''The failures of previous civilizations, and the crises existing for our own, show that man has not evolved the ability to cope with limitless complication.''' He has not discovered how to control his sciences' parabolas.

It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion; another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe — one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. * A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles' heel is time. Its children, what of them? The second and third generations, of what numbers and stuff will they be? '''How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life.''' This is our modern danger — one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge. * '''Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.''' <br> If only there were some way to measure the changing character of men, some yardstick to reapportion influence among the nations, some way to demonstrate in peace the strength of arms in war. But with all of its dimensions, its clocks, and weights, and figures, science fails us when we ask a measure for the rights of men. They cannot be judged by numbers, by distance, weight, or time; or by counting heads without a thought of what may lie within. Those intangible qualities of character, such as courage, faith, and skill, evade all systems, slip through the bars of every cage. They can be recognized, but not measured. * '''The forces of [[Hannibal]], [[Francis Drake|Drake]] and [[Napoleon]] moved at best with the horses' gallop or the speed of wind on sail. Now, aviation brings a new concept of time and distance to the affairs of men. It demands adaptability to change, places a premium on quickness of thought and speed of action.''' <br> Military strength has become more dynamic and less tangible. A new alignment of power has taken place, and there is no adequate peacetime measure for its effect on the influence of nations. There seems no way to agree on the rights it brings to some and takes from others. * Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races. <br> We need peace to let our best men live to work out those more subtle, but equally dangerous, problems brought by this new environment in which we dwell, to give us time to turn this materialistic trend, to stop prostrating ourselves before this modern idol of mechanical efficiency, to find means of combining freedom, spirit, and beauty with industrial life — a peace which will bring character, strength, and security back to Western peoples. === ''Autobiography of Values'' (1978) === [[File:Charles Lindbergh, wearing helmet with goggles up.jpg|thumb|In some [[future]] incarnation from our [[life]] stream, we may even [[understand]] the [[reason]] for our [[existence]] in forms of [[earthly]] life.

In the spring of 1927, Lindbergh had been too consumed by what he called "the single objective of landing my plane at Paris" to have considered its aftermath. "To plan beyond that had seemed an act of arrogance I could not afford," he would later write. '''Even if he had thought farther ahead, however, he could never have predicted the unprecedented global response to his arrival.''' <br> By that year, radio, telephones, radiographs, and the Bartlane Cable Process could transmit images and voices around the world within seconds. What was more, motion pictures had just mastered the synchronization of sound, allowing dramatic moments to be preserved in all their glory and distributed worldwide. '''For the first time all of civilization could share as one the sights and sounds of an event — almost instantaneously and simultaneously. And in this unusually good-looking, young aviator — of apparently impeccable character — the new technology found its first superstar.'''<br>The reception in Paris was only a harbinger of the unprecedented worship people would pay Lindbergh for years. Without either belittling or aggrandizing the importance of his flight, he considered it part of the continuum of human endeavor, and that he was, after all, only a man. The public saw more than that... '''Universally admired, Charles Lindbergh became the most celebrated living person ever to walk the earth.''' ** [[w:A. Scott Berg|A. Scott Berg]] in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * As the first American airman to exhibit "the right stuff," Lindbergh inspired his country's first astronauts by sheer example. But more than that, he was — unknown to the public — the man most responsible for securing the funding that underwrote the research of Dr. [[w:Robert H. Goddard|Robert H. Goddard]], the inventor of the modern rocket. '''A friend of the first man to fly an airplane, Lindbergh lived long enough in a fast-moving world to befriend the first man to walk on the moon.''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * '''Lindbergh believed all the elements of the earth and heavens are connected, through space and time.''' The configurations of molecules in each moment help create the next. Thus he considered his defining moment just another step in the development of aviation and exploration — a summit built on all those that preceded it and a springboard to all those that would follow. '''Only by looking back, Lindbergh believed, could mankind move forward. "In some future incarnation from our life stream," he wrote in later years, "we may understand the reason for our existence in forms of earthly life." ''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * No source, however, captures the war hates and war crimes of this merciless struggle more soberly than Charles Lindbergh's diary. For over four months in mid-1944, Lindbergh lived and flew as a civilian observer with U.S. forces based in New Guinea, and as the weeks passed he became deeply troubled, not by the willingness to kill on the part of the soldiers, which he accepted as an inherent part of the war, but by the utter contempt in which Allied fighting men held their Japanese adversaries. The famous "Lone Eagle," whose isolationist sentiments had placed him among the conservative opponents of President Roosevelt's policies, really hearkened back to what [J. Glenn Gray] has called the more chivalrous tradition of the professional militarist, who accepts the necessity of war while maintaining respect for his adversaries, recognizing courage as courage and duty as duty, irrespective of the uniform worn. Lindbergh found no such sentiments among the Allied forces in the Pacific, where officers and enlisted men alike saw the enemy simply as animals and "yellow sons of bitches," and his detailed journal may be the most forthright firsthand account available of the "other" side of the Pacific War. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69 * On May 18, 1944, about two weeks after Lindbergh had tied in with a Marine unit, he recorded that the camps were full of reports of Japanese torture and the beheading of captured American pilots. A month later, on June 21, he summarized the conversation of an American general who told how an unsuspecting Japanese prisoner was given a cigarette and then seized from behind and had his throat "slit from ear to ear" as a demonstration of how to kill Japanese. Lindbergh's objections were met with tolerant scorn and pity. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69-70 * On August 30, Lindbergh visited Tarawa, recalled the terrible casualties there, and told of a naval officer who lined up the few Japanese captured, kept those who could speak English for questioning, and had the rest killed. In early September, he noted that on some islands Marines actually dug up dead bodies in their search for gold teeth. Elsewhere they collected noses as well as ears, teeth, and skulls. When Lindbergh finally left the Pacific islands and cleared customs in Hawaii, he was asked if he had any bones in his baggage. It was, he was told, a routine question. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 71 * '''Charles is life itself — pure life, force, like sunlight — and it is for this that I married him and this that holds me to him''' — caring always, caring desperately what happens to him and whatever he happens to be involved in. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in ''War Within and Without'' (1980) * '''Charles was a stubborn Swede, you know, and he himself never felt the need to explain his feelings about where he stood and about past statements.''' But I feel free now to elaborate on his actual attitudes. '''He never wanted to be regarded as a [[hero]] or [[leader]], and he never had [[political]] [[ambitions]].''' His prewar isolationist speeches were given in all [[sincerity]] for what he thought was the good of the country and the world. ... He was accused of being anti-Semetic, but in the 45 years I lived with him I never heard him make a remark against the [[Jews]], not a crack or joke, and neither did any of our children. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/lindbergh-jews.html ''The New York Times'' (20 April 1980)] * '''No one I know of has foreseen an [[America]] like the one we live in today.''' No one (except perhaps the acidic [[H. L. Mencken]], who famously described American democracy as “the worship of jackals by jackasses”) could have imagined that the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an [[Orwellian]] Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous ''[[w:Commedia dell'arte|commedia dell’arte]]'' figure of the boastful buffoon. How naïve I was in 1960 to think that I was an American living in preposterous times! How quaint! But then what could I know in 1960 of 1963 or 1968 or 1974 or 2001 or 2016? ... However prescient ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' might seem to you, there is surely one enormous difference between the political circumstances I invent there for the U.S. in 1940 and the political calamity that dismays us so today. It's the difference in stature between a President Lindbergh and a President Trump. '''Charles Lindbergh, in life as in my novel, may have been a genuine [[racist]] and an [[anti-Semite]] and a white supremacist sympathetic to [[Fascism]], but he was also — because of the extraordinary feat of his solo trans-Atlantic flight at the age of 25 — an authentic American [[hero]] 13 years before I have him winning the presidency. ... Trump, by comparison, is a massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies, devoid of everything but the hollow [[ideology]] of a megalomaniac.''' ** [[Philip Roth]], comparing Lindbergh's leadership of an "[[w:America First (policy)|America First]]" movement with that of [[Donald Trump]], in responses to being asked about foreseeing an America such as now exists in his earlier writings, including his alternate-history novel ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' (2004) where Lindbergh defeats [[FDR]] for the presidency in 1940, as quoted in [https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/books/review/philip-roth-interview.html "No Longer Writing, Philip Roth Still Has Plenty to Say" by Charles Mcgrath, in ''The New York Times'' (16 January 2018)] * The people of England are about finished with him. Americans are beginning to feel the same way, and the halo of hero worship around Lindbergh's head is getting pretty well tarnished. ** New Jersey Attorney General David P.

What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going?''' But when a man is caught in such a position he is judged only by his error and seldom given credit for the times he has extricated himself from worse situations. Worst of all, blame is heaped upon him by other pilots, all of whom have been in parallel situations themselves, but without being caught in them. '''If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes. That judgment, in turn, must rest upon one's outlook on life. Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. Why should we look for his errors when a brave man dies? Unless we can learn from his experience, there is no need to look for weakness. Rather, we should admire the courage and spirit in his life. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?''' ** Journal entry (26 August 1938); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Walked to Bill Castle's home at 6:00 — about ten minutes from the Anchorage. Fulton Lewis was the only other person there. The three of us had dinner together and discussed the European situation and the action this country should take if war breaks out over there. We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence in our press, radio and motion pictures. It may become very serious. Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual system if a certain feature were permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed. ** Journal entry (23 August 1939); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but the Administration seems to have ‘the bit in its teeth’ and is hell-bent on its way to war. Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio and most of our motion pictures. There are the ‘intellectuals’ and the ‘Anglophiles,’ and the British agents who are allowed free rein, the international financial interests, and many others. ** Journal entry (1 May 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Shall we now give up the independence we have won, and crusade abroad in a utopian attempt to force our ideas on the rest of the world; or shall we use air power, and the other advances of modern warfare, to guard and strengthen the independence of our nation? ** A speech on “Air Power” (29 August 1941) * The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt Administration.Instead of agitating for war, Jews in this country should be opposing it in every way, for they will be the first to feel its consequences. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government. ** Speech in Des Moines, Iowa lobbying for American isolationism (11 September 1941) * '''Now, all that I feared would happen has happened. We are at war all over the world, and we are unprepared for it from either a spiritual or a material standpoint. Fortunately, in spite of all that has been said, the oceans are still difficult to cross; and we have the time to adjust and prepare...''' We can, of course, be raided; but unless we let ourselves go completely to pieces internally, we cannot be invaded successfully. <br> But this is only one part of the picture. We are in a war which requires us to attack if we are to win it. We must attack in Asia and in Europe, in fact, all over the world. That means raising and equipping an army of many millions and building shipping, which we have not now got. And after that, if we are to carry through our present war aims, it probably means the bloodiest and most devastating war of all history. ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * We talk about spreading democracy and freedom all over the world, but they are to us words rather than conditions. We haven't even got them here in America, and the farther we get into this war the farther we get away from democracy and freedom. Where is it leading us to, and when will it end? The war might stop this winter, but that is improbable. It may go on for fifty years or more. That also is improbable. The elements are too conflicting and confused to form any accurate judgment of its length. '''There may be a series of wars, one after another, going on indefinitely. <br>[[Possibly]] the world will come to its senses sooner than I expect. But, as I have often said, the environment of human life has changed more rapidly and more extensively in recent years than it has ever changed before. When environment changes, there must be a corresponding change in life. That change must be so great that it is not likely to be completed in a decade or in a generation.''' ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * '''Here was a place where men and life and death had reached the lowest form of degradation.

Since I have been on Owi Island, at irregular intervals through the night and day, the sound of our artillery bombarding this Japanese stronghold has floated in across the water. This afternoon, I stood on the cliff outside our quarters (not daring to sit on the ground because of the danger of typhus) and watched the shells bursting on the ridge. For weeks that handful of Japanese soldiers, variously estimated at between 250 and 700 men, has been holding out against overwhelming odds and the heaviest bombardment our well-supplied guns can give them. <br> If positions were reversed and our troops held out so courageously and well, their defense would be recorded as one of the most glorious examples of tenacity, bravery, and sacrifice in the history of our nation. But, sitting in the security and relative luxury of our quarters, I listen to American Army officers refer to these Japanese soldiers as "yellow sons of bitches." Their desire is to exterminate the Jap ruthlessly, even cruelly. I have not heard a word of respect or compassion spoken of our enemy since I came here. <br>'''It is not the willingness to kill on the part of our soldiers which most concerns me. That is an inherent part of war. It is our lack of respect for even the admirable characteristics of our enemy — for courage, for suffering, for death, for his willingness to die for his beliefs, for his companies and squadrons which go forth, one after another, to annihilation against our superior training and equipment.

Having evolved in it for millions of centuries, we are not far removed by a cloth of civilization. It is packed into our genes. '''In fact, the more power-driven, complex and delicate our civilization becomes, the more likelihood arises that a collapse will force us back to wildness.''' There is in wildness a natural wisdom that shapes all Earth's experiments with life. Can we tap this wisdom without experiencing the agony of reverting to wildness? Can we combine it with intellectual developments of which we feel so proud, use it to redirect our modern trends before they lead to a worse breakdown than past civilizations have experienced? I believe we can, and that to do so we must learn from the primitive. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * ...'''An overemphasis of science weakens human character and upsets life's essential balance. Science breeds technology. Technology leads to infinite complication.''' Examples are everywhere: in the intricacy of government and in that of business corporations: in automation and labor relations; in war, diplomacy, taxation, legislation, in almost every field of modern man's routine. From the growth of cities to that of military power, from medical requirements to social-welfare benefits, '''when progress is plotted against time, exponential curves result with which we cannot long conform. But what action should scientific man prescribe as a result of the curves he plots? How is their direction to be changed without another breakdown and return to wildness? Suppose technologists conclude theoretically that they are destroying their own culture. Are they capable of taking effective action to prevent such destruction?'''<br>'''The failures of previous civilizations, and the crises existing for our own, show that man has not evolved the ability to cope with limitless complication.''' He has not discovered how to control his sciences' parabolas. Here I believe '''the human intellect can learn from primitive nature, for nature was conceived in cosmic power and thrives on infinite complication. No problem has been too difficult for it to solve. From the dynamics of an atom, nature produces the tranquility of a flower, the joy of a porpoise, the intellect of man–the miracle of life.'''<br>'''In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.''' The construction of an analogue computer or a supersonic airplane is simple when compared to the mixture of space and evolutionary eons represented by a cell. '''In primitive rather than in civilized surroundings I grow aware of man's evolving status, as though I were suddenly released from a hypnotic state. Life itself becomes the standard of all judgement.''' How could I have overlooked, even momentarily, such an obvious fact? ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * '''I feel transported from the modern to a Mesozoic era, freed from the blindness caused by our clocked environment of time. Ages turn to seconds as I voyage back and forth. Man becomes a recent advent among Earth's contending forms, and civilization but a flash in evolutionary progress. Surrounded by wildness I become less aware of my individuality than the life stream individuals manifest: that tenuous, immortal quality probing an unknown future and trailing, unbroken, beyond the vaguest past. Thus stripped of my culture's armor, I am an animal among various others, emerged to represent my species' progress, the momentary form and outlook of mankind.'''<br>Whether in Florida's Everglades, Tanzania's Serengeti, or Java's Udjung Kulon, '''I see animals about me as earthly experiments with life; and so I feel myself. Each of us represents a life stream attempting to survive, to take advantage of every opportunity arising. The heron lengthens its legs to wade. The lion sharpens its teeth to kill. The rhinoceros thickens its skin for protection. Man develops his intellect to gain domination of the Earth, and by comparison, the speed with which he has gained this domination is astounding–another of those exponential curves that mount like an explosion.'''<br>'''In civilization's sky-scraping cities I feel my superiority to lower animals confirmed by man's unchallenged rule. I view other creatures with a god's aloofness; for I have intellect, and they, no more than instinct.''' But surrounded by wildness, representing the human life stream with diverse competing life streams close at hand, I start doubting my superiority. '''I am struck by the physical perfection of other species in contrast to my own, amazed at the beauty, health and balance nature has achieved through instinct's influence. I ask myself what the intellect has done to warrant its prestige. As Earth's most messy, destructive and defective animal, man's records gives him little cause for pride. Our present intellectual superiority is no guarantee of great wisdom or survival power in our genes.''' Anthropologists often warn than ''Homo sapiens'' may be only an overspecialized branch on the trunk of evolution. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * '''Our ideals, laws and customs should be based on the proposition that each generation, in turn, becomes the custodian rather than the absolute owner of our resources and each generation has the obligation to pass this inheritance on to the future.''' ** ''New York Times Magazine'' (23 May 1971) * Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values...

It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion; another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe — one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. * A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles' heel is time. Its children, what of them? The second and third generations, of what numbers and stuff will they be? '''How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life.''' This is our modern danger — one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge. * '''Air power is new to all our countries.

But with all of its dimensions, its clocks, and weights, and figures, science fails us when we ask a measure for the rights of men. They cannot be judged by numbers, by distance, weight, or time; or by counting heads without a thought of what may lie within. Those intangible qualities of character, such as courage, faith, and skill, evade all systems, slip through the bars of every cage. They can be recognized, but not measured. * '''The forces of [[Hannibal]], [[Francis Drake|Drake]] and [[Napoleon]] moved at best with the horses' gallop or the speed of wind on sail.

A new alignment of power has taken place, and there is no adequate peacetime measure for its effect on the influence of nations. There seems no way to agree on the rights it brings to some and takes from others. * Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races. <br> We need peace to let our best men live to work out those more subtle, but equally dangerous, problems brought by this new environment in which we dwell, to give us time to turn this materialistic trend, to stop prostrating ourselves before this modern idol of mechanical efficiency, to find means of combining freedom, spirit, and beauty with industrial life — a peace which will bring character, strength, and security back to Western peoples. === ''Autobiography of Values'' (1978) === [[File:Charles Lindbergh, wearing helmet with goggles up.jpg|thumb|In some [[future]] incarnation from our [[life]] stream, we may even [[understand]] the [[reason]] for our [[existence]] in forms of [[earthly]] life.

In the spring of 1927, Lindbergh had been too consumed by what he called "the single objective of landing my plane at Paris" to have considered its aftermath. "To plan beyond that had seemed an act of arrogance I could not afford," he would later write. '''Even if he had thought farther ahead, however, he could never have predicted the unprecedented global response to his arrival.''' <br> By that year, radio, telephones, radiographs, and the Bartlane Cable Process could transmit images and voices around the world within seconds. What was more, motion pictures had just mastered the synchronization of sound, allowing dramatic moments to be preserved in all their glory and distributed worldwide. '''For the first time all of civilization could share as one the sights and sounds of an event — almost instantaneously and simultaneously. And in this unusually good-looking, young aviator — of apparently impeccable character — the new technology found its first superstar.'''<br>The reception in Paris was only a harbinger of the unprecedented worship people would pay Lindbergh for years. Without either belittling or aggrandizing the importance of his flight, he considered it part of the continuum of human endeavor, and that he was, after all, only a man. The public saw more than that... '''Universally admired, Charles Lindbergh became the most celebrated living person ever to walk the earth.''' ** [[w:A. Scott Berg|A. Scott Berg]] in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * As the first American airman to exhibit "the right stuff," Lindbergh inspired his country's first astronauts by sheer example. But more than that, he was — unknown to the public — the man most responsible for securing the funding that underwrote the research of Dr. [[w:Robert H. Goddard|Robert H. Goddard]], the inventor of the modern rocket. '''A friend of the first man to fly an airplane, Lindbergh lived long enough in a fast-moving world to befriend the first man to walk on the moon.''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * '''Lindbergh believed all the elements of the earth and heavens are connected, through space and time.''' The configurations of molecules in each moment help create the next. Thus he considered his defining moment just another step in the development of aviation and exploration — a summit built on all those that preceded it and a springboard to all those that would follow. '''Only by looking back, Lindbergh believed, could mankind move forward. "In some future incarnation from our life stream," he wrote in later years, "we may understand the reason for our existence in forms of earthly life." ''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * No source, however, captures the war hates and war crimes of this merciless struggle more soberly than Charles Lindbergh's diary. For over four months in mid-1944, Lindbergh lived and flew as a civilian observer with U.S. forces based in New Guinea, and as the weeks passed he became deeply troubled, not by the willingness to kill on the part of the soldiers, which he accepted as an inherent part of the war, but by the utter contempt in which Allied fighting men held their Japanese adversaries. The famous "Lone Eagle," whose isolationist sentiments had placed him among the conservative opponents of President Roosevelt's policies, really hearkened back to what [J. Glenn Gray] has called the more chivalrous tradition of the professional militarist, who accepts the necessity of war while maintaining respect for his adversaries, recognizing courage as courage and duty as duty, irrespective of the uniform worn. Lindbergh found no such sentiments among the Allied forces in the Pacific, where officers and enlisted men alike saw the enemy simply as animals and "yellow sons of bitches," and his detailed journal may be the most forthright firsthand account available of the "other" side of the Pacific War. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69 * On May 18, 1944, about two weeks after Lindbergh had tied in with a Marine unit, he recorded that the camps were full of reports of Japanese torture and the beheading of captured American pilots. A month later, on June 21, he summarized the conversation of an American general who told how an unsuspecting Japanese prisoner was given a cigarette and then seized from behind and had his throat "slit from ear to ear" as a demonstration of how to kill Japanese. Lindbergh's objections were met with tolerant scorn and pity. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69-70 * On August 30, Lindbergh visited Tarawa, recalled the terrible casualties there, and told of a naval officer who lined up the few Japanese captured, kept those who could speak English for questioning, and had the rest killed. In early September, he noted that on some islands Marines actually dug up dead bodies in their search for gold teeth. Elsewhere they collected noses as well as ears, teeth, and skulls. When Lindbergh finally left the Pacific islands and cleared customs in Hawaii, he was asked if he had any bones in his baggage. It was, he was told, a routine question. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 71 * '''Charles is life itself — pure life, force, like sunlight — and it is for this that I married him and this that holds me to him''' — caring always, caring desperately what happens to him and whatever he happens to be involved in. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in ''War Within and Without'' (1980) * '''Charles was a stubborn Swede, you know, and he himself never felt the need to explain his feelings about where he stood and about past statements.''' But I feel free now to elaborate on his actual attitudes. '''He never wanted to be regarded as a [[hero]] or [[leader]], and he never had [[political]] [[ambitions]].''' His prewar isolationist speeches were given in all [[sincerity]] for what he thought was the good of the country and the world. ... He was accused of being anti-Semetic, but in the 45 years I lived with him I never heard him make a remark against the [[Jews]], not a crack or joke, and neither did any of our children. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/lindbergh-jews.html ''The New York Times'' (20 April 1980)] * '''No one I know of has foreseen an [[America]] like the one we live in today.''' No one (except perhaps the acidic [[H. L. Mencken]], who famously described American democracy as “the worship of jackals by jackasses”) could have imagined that the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an [[Orwellian]] Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous ''[[w:Commedia dell'arte|commedia dell’arte]]'' figure of the boastful buffoon. How naïve I was in 1960 to think that I was an American living in preposterous times! How quaint! But then what could I know in 1960 of 1963 or 1968 or 1974 or 2001 or 2016? ... However prescient ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' might seem to you, there is surely one enormous difference between the political circumstances I invent there for the U.S. in 1940 and the political calamity that dismays us so today. It's the difference in stature between a President Lindbergh and a President Trump. '''Charles Lindbergh, in life as in my novel, may have been a genuine [[racist]] and an [[anti-Semite]] and a white supremacist sympathetic to [[Fascism]], but he was also — because of the extraordinary feat of his solo trans-Atlantic flight at the age of 25 — an authentic American [[hero]] 13 years before I have him winning the presidency. ... Trump, by comparison, is a massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies, devoid of everything but the hollow [[ideology]] of a megalomaniac.''' ** [[Philip Roth]], comparing Lindbergh's leadership of an "[[w:America First (policy)|America First]]" movement with that of [[Donald Trump]], in responses to being asked about foreseeing an America such as now exists in his earlier writings, including his alternate-history novel ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' (2004) where Lindbergh defeats [[FDR]] for the presidency in 1940, as quoted in [https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/books/review/philip-roth-interview.html "No Longer Writing, Philip Roth Still Has Plenty to Say" by Charles Mcgrath, in ''The New York Times'' (16 January 2018)] * The people of England are about finished with him. Americans are beginning to feel the same way, and the halo of hero worship around Lindbergh's head is getting pretty well tarnished. ** New Jersey Attorney General David P.

What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going?''' But when a man is caught in such a position he is judged only by his error and seldom given credit for the times he has extricated himself from worse situations. Worst of all, blame is heaped upon him by other pilots, all of whom have been in parallel situations themselves, but without being caught in them. '''If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes. That judgment, in turn, must rest upon one's outlook on life. Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. Why should we look for his errors when a brave man dies? Unless we can learn from his experience, there is no need to look for weakness. Rather, we should admire the courage and spirit in his life. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?''' ** Journal entry (26 August 1938); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Walked to Bill Castle's home at 6:00 — about ten minutes from the Anchorage. Fulton Lewis was the only other person there. The three of us had dinner together and discussed the European situation and the action this country should take if war breaks out over there. We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence in our press, radio and motion pictures. It may become very serious. Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual system if a certain feature were permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed. ** Journal entry (23 August 1939); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but the Administration seems to have ‘the bit in its teeth’ and is hell-bent on its way to war. Most of the Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control a huge part of our press and radio and most of our motion pictures. There are the ‘intellectuals’ and the ‘Anglophiles,’ and the British agents who are allowed free rein, the international financial interests, and many others. ** Journal entry (1 May 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * Shall we now give up the independence we have won, and crusade abroad in a utopian attempt to force our ideas on the rest of the world; or shall we use air power, and the other advances of modern warfare, to guard and strengthen the independence of our nation? ** A speech on “Air Power” (29 August 1941) * The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt Administration.Instead of agitating for war, Jews in this country should be opposing it in every way, for they will be the first to feel its consequences. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government. ** Speech in Des Moines, Iowa lobbying for American isolationism (11 September 1941) * '''Now, all that I feared would happen has happened. We are at war all over the world, and we are unprepared for it from either a spiritual or a material standpoint. Fortunately, in spite of all that has been said, the oceans are still difficult to cross; and we have the time to adjust and prepare...''' We can, of course, be raided; but unless we let ourselves go completely to pieces internally, we cannot be invaded successfully. <br> But this is only one part of the picture. We are in a war which requires us to attack if we are to win it. We must attack in Asia and in Europe, in fact, all over the world. That means raising and equipping an army of many millions and building shipping, which we have not now got. And after that, if we are to carry through our present war aims, it probably means the bloodiest and most devastating war of all history. ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * We talk about spreading democracy and freedom all over the world, but they are to us words rather than conditions. We haven't even got them here in America, and the farther we get into this war the farther we get away from democracy and freedom. Where is it leading us to, and when will it end? The war might stop this winter, but that is improbable. It may go on for fifty years or more. That also is improbable. The elements are too conflicting and confused to form any accurate judgment of its length. '''There may be a series of wars, one after another, going on indefinitely. <br>[[Possibly]] the world will come to its senses sooner than I expect. But, as I have often said, the environment of human life has changed more rapidly and more extensively in recent years than it has ever changed before. When environment changes, there must be a corresponding change in life. That change must be so great that it is not likely to be completed in a decade or in a generation.''' ** Journal entry (11 December 1941); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * '''Here was a place where men and life and death had reached the lowest form of degradation. How could any reward in national progress even faintly justify the establishment and operation of such a place?

Since I have been on Owi Island, at irregular intervals through the night and day, the sound of our artillery bombarding this Japanese stronghold has floated in across the water. This afternoon, I stood on the cliff outside our quarters (not daring to sit on the ground because of the danger of typhus) and watched the shells bursting on the ridge. For weeks that handful of Japanese soldiers, variously estimated at between 250 and 700 men, has been holding out against overwhelming odds and the heaviest bombardment our well-supplied guns can give them. <br> If positions were reversed and our troops held out so courageously and well, their defense would be recorded as one of the most glorious examples of tenacity, bravery, and sacrifice in the history of our nation. But, sitting in the security and relative luxury of our quarters, I listen to American Army officers refer to these Japanese soldiers as "yellow sons of bitches." Their desire is to exterminate the Jap ruthlessly, even cruelly. I have not heard a word of respect or compassion spoken of our enemy since I came here. <br>'''It is not the willingness to kill on the part of our soldiers which most concerns me. That is an inherent part of war. It is our lack of respect for even the admirable characteristics of our enemy — for courage, for suffering, for death, for his willingness to die for his beliefs, for his companies and squadrons which go forth, one after another, to annihilation against our superior training and equipment. What is courage for us is fanaticism for him. We hold his examples of atrocity screamingly to the heavens while we cover up our own and condone them as just retribution for his acts.''' ** Journal entry (21 July 1944); later published in ''The Wartime Journals'' (1970) * What the German has done to the Jew in Europe, we are doing to the Jap in the Pacific. ** Journal entry (21 July 1944) * It was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of men — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same time. ** Thoughts on his first parachute jump in ''The Spirit of St Louis'' (1953) * '''Life — a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.''' ** "Is Civilization Progress?" in ''Reader's Digest '' (July 1964) * '''I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.''' ** ''Of Flight and Life'' (1948) * '''The wild world is the human world.''' Having evolved in it for millions of centuries, we are not far removed by a cloth of civilization. It is packed into our genes. '''In fact, the more power-driven, complex and delicate our civilization becomes, the more likelihood arises that a collapse will force us back to wildness.''' There is in wildness a natural wisdom that shapes all Earth's experiments with life. Can we tap this wisdom without experiencing the agony of reverting to wildness? Can we combine it with intellectual developments of which we feel so proud, use it to redirect our modern trends before they lead to a worse breakdown than past civilizations have experienced? I believe we can, and that to do so we must learn from the primitive. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * ...'''An overemphasis of science weakens human character and upsets life's essential balance. Science breeds technology. Technology leads to infinite complication.''' Examples are everywhere: in the intricacy of government and in that of business corporations: in automation and labor relations; in war, diplomacy, taxation, legislation, in almost every field of modern man's routine. From the growth of cities to that of military power, from medical requirements to social-welfare benefits, '''when progress is plotted against time, exponential curves result with which we cannot long conform. But what action should scientific man prescribe as a result of the curves he plots? How is their direction to be changed without another breakdown and return to wildness? Suppose technologists conclude theoretically that they are destroying their own culture. Are they capable of taking effective action to prevent such destruction?'''<br>'''The failures of previous civilizations, and the crises existing for our own, show that man has not evolved the ability to cope with limitless complication.''' He has not discovered how to control his sciences' parabolas. Here I believe '''the human intellect can learn from primitive nature, for nature was conceived in cosmic power and thrives on infinite complication. No problem has been too difficult for it to solve. From the dynamics of an atom, nature produces the tranquility of a flower, the joy of a porpoise, the intellect of man–the miracle of life.'''<br>'''In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.''' The construction of an analogue computer or a supersonic airplane is simple when compared to the mixture of space and evolutionary eons represented by a cell. '''In primitive rather than in civilized surroundings I grow aware of man's evolving status, as though I were suddenly released from a hypnotic state. Life itself becomes the standard of all judgement.''' How could I have overlooked, even momentarily, such an obvious fact? ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * '''I feel transported from the modern to a Mesozoic era, freed from the blindness caused by our clocked environment of time. Ages turn to seconds as I voyage back and forth. Man becomes a recent advent among Earth's contending forms, and civilization but a flash in evolutionary progress. Surrounded by wildness I become less aware of my individuality than the life stream individuals manifest: that tenuous, immortal quality probing an unknown future and trailing, unbroken, beyond the vaguest past. Thus stripped of my culture's armor, I am an animal among various others, emerged to represent my species' progress, the momentary form and outlook of mankind.'''<br>Whether in Florida's Everglades, Tanzania's Serengeti, or Java's Udjung Kulon, '''I see animals about me as earthly experiments with life; and so I feel myself. Each of us represents a life stream attempting to survive, to take advantage of every opportunity arising. The heron lengthens its legs to wade. The lion sharpens its teeth to kill. The rhinoceros thickens its skin for protection. Man develops his intellect to gain domination of the Earth, and by comparison, the speed with which he has gained this domination is astounding–another of those exponential curves that mount like an explosion.'''<br>'''In civilization's sky-scraping cities I feel my superiority to lower animals confirmed by man's unchallenged rule. I view other creatures with a god's aloofness; for I have intellect, and they, no more than instinct.''' But surrounded by wildness, representing the human life stream with diverse competing life streams close at hand, I start doubting my superiority. '''I am struck by the physical perfection of other species in contrast to my own, amazed at the beauty, health and balance nature has achieved through instinct's influence. I ask myself what the intellect has done to warrant its prestige. As Earth's most messy, destructive and defective animal, man's record gives him little cause for pride. Our present intellectual superiority is no guarantee of great wisdom or survival power in our genes.''' Anthropologists often warn than ''Homo sapiens'' may be only an overspecialized branch on the trunk of evolution. ** "The Wisdom of Wilderness" in ''LIFE'' (22 December 1967) * '''Our ideals, laws and customs should be based on the proposition that each generation, in turn, becomes the custodian rather than the absolute owner of our resources and each generation has the obligation to pass this inheritance on to the future.''' ** ''New York Times Magazine'' (23 May 1971) * Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... '''God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.''' ** As quoted in ''Reader's Digest'' (July 1972) * '''I realized that the future of aviation, to which I had devoted so much of my life, depended less on the perfection of aircraft than on preserving the epoch-evolved environment of life, and that this was true of all technological progress.''' ** Forword to ''The Gentle Tasady : A Stone Age People in the Philippine Rain Forest'' (1975) by John Nance, a book on the [[w:Tasaday|Tasaday]] of Mindanao (7 April 1974) * I owned the world that hour as I rode over it... free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them. ** On flying over the Rocky Mountains, as quoted in ''Lindbergh'' (1978) by Leonard Mosley * '''Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquest...''' ** As quoted in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) by [[w:A.

It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion; another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe — one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. * A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles' heel is time. Its children, what of them? The second and third generations, of what numbers and stuff will they be? '''How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life.''' This is our modern danger — one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge. * '''Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.''' <br> If only there were some way to measure the changing character of men, some yardstick to reapportion influence among the nations, some way to demonstrate in peace the strength of arms in war. But with all of its dimensions, its clocks, and weights, and figures, science fails us when we ask a measure for the rights of men. They cannot be judged by numbers, by distance, weight, or time; or by counting heads without a thought of what may lie within. Those intangible qualities of character, such as courage, faith, and skill, evade all systems, slip through the bars of every cage. They can be recognized, but not measured. * '''The forces of [[Hannibal]], [[Francis Drake|Drake]] and [[Napoleon]] moved at best with the horses' gallop or the speed of wind on sail. Now, aviation brings a new concept of time and distance to the affairs of men. It demands adaptability to change, places a premium on quickness of thought and speed of action.''' <br> Military strength has become more dynamic and less tangible. A new alignment of power has taken place, and there is no adequate peacetime measure for its effect on the influence of nations. There seems no way to agree on the rights it brings to some and takes from others. * Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races. <br> We need peace to let our best men live to work out those more subtle, but equally dangerous, problems brought by this new environment in which we dwell, to give us time to turn this materialistic trend, to stop prostrating ourselves before this modern idol of mechanical efficiency, to find means of combining freedom, spirit, and beauty with industrial life — a peace which will bring character, strength, and security back to Western peoples. === ''Autobiography of Values'' (1978) === [[File:Charles Lindbergh, wearing helmet with goggles up.jpg|thumb|In some [[future]] incarnation from our [[life]] stream, we may even [[understand]] the [[reason]] for our [[existence]] in forms of [[earthly]] life.

In the spring of 1927, Lindbergh had been too consumed by what he called "the single objective of landing my plane at Paris" to have considered its aftermath. "To plan beyond that had seemed an act of arrogance I could not afford," he would later write. '''Even if he had thought farther ahead, however, he could never have predicted the unprecedented global response to his arrival.''' <br> By that year, radio, telephones, radiographs, and the Bartlane Cable Process could transmit images and voices around the world within seconds. What was more, motion pictures had just mastered the synchronization of sound, allowing dramatic moments to be preserved in all their glory and distributed worldwide. '''For the first time all of civilization could share as one the sights and sounds of an event — almost instantaneously and simultaneously. And in this unusually good-looking, young aviator — of apparently impeccable character — the new technology found its first superstar.'''<br>The reception in Paris was only a harbinger of the unprecedented worship people would pay Lindbergh for years. Without either belittling or aggrandizing the importance of his flight, he considered it part of the continuum of human endeavor, and that he was, after all, only a man. The public saw more than that... '''Universally admired, Charles Lindbergh became the most celebrated living person ever to walk the earth.''' ** [[w:A. Scott Berg|A. Scott Berg]] in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * As the first American airman to exhibit "the right stuff," Lindbergh inspired his country's first astronauts by sheer example. But more than that, he was — unknown to the public — the man most responsible for securing the funding that underwrote the research of Dr. [[w:Robert H. Goddard|Robert H. Goddard]], the inventor of the modern rocket. '''A friend of the first man to fly an airplane, Lindbergh lived long enough in a fast-moving world to befriend the first man to walk on the moon.''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * '''Lindbergh believed all the elements of the earth and heavens are connected, through space and time.''' The configurations of molecules in each moment help create the next. Thus he considered his defining moment just another step in the development of aviation and exploration — a summit built on all those that preceded it and a springboard to all those that would follow. '''Only by looking back, Lindbergh believed, could mankind move forward. "In some future incarnation from our life stream," he wrote in later years, "we may understand the reason for our existence in forms of earthly life." ''' ** A. Scott Berg in ''Lindbergh'' (1998) * No source, however, captures the war hates and war crimes of this merciless struggle more soberly than Charles Lindbergh's diary. For over four months in mid-1944, Lindbergh lived and flew as a civilian observer with U.S. forces based in New Guinea, and as the weeks passed he became deeply troubled, not by the willingness to kill on the part of the soldiers, which he accepted as an inherent part of the war, but by the utter contempt in which Allied fighting men held their Japanese adversaries. The famous "Lone Eagle," whose isolationist sentiments had placed him among the conservative opponents of President Roosevelt's policies, really hearkened back to what [J. Glenn Gray] has called the more chivalrous tradition of the professional militarist, who accepts the necessity of war while maintaining respect for his adversaries, recognizing courage as courage and duty as duty, irrespective of the uniform worn. Lindbergh found no such sentiments among the Allied forces in the Pacific, where officers and enlisted men alike saw the enemy simply as animals and "yellow sons of bitches," and his detailed journal may be the most forthright firsthand account available of the "other" side of the Pacific War. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69 * On May 18, 1944, about two weeks after Lindbergh had tied in with a Marine unit, he recorded that the camps were full of reports of Japanese torture and the beheading of captured American pilots. A month later, on June 21, he summarized the conversation of an American general who told how an unsuspecting Japanese prisoner was given a cigarette and then seized from behind and had his throat "slit from ear to ear" as a demonstration of how to kill Japanese. Lindbergh's objections were met with tolerant scorn and pity. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 69-70 * On August 30, Lindbergh visited Tarawa, recalled the terrible casualties there, and told of a naval officer who lined up the few Japanese captured, kept those who could speak English for questioning, and had the rest killed. In early September, he noted that on some islands Marines actually dug up dead bodies in their search for gold teeth. Elsewhere they collected noses as well as ears, teeth, and skulls. When Lindbergh finally left the Pacific islands and cleared customs in Hawaii, he was asked if he had any bones in his baggage. It was, he was told, a routine question. ** John W. Dower, ''War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War'' (1986), p. 71 * '''Charles is life itself — pure life, force, like sunlight — and it is for this that I married him and this that holds me to him''' — caring always, caring desperately what happens to him and whatever he happens to be involved in. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in ''War Within and Without'' (1980) * '''Charles was a stubborn Swede, you know, and he himself never felt the need to explain his feelings about where he stood and about past statements.''' But I feel free now to elaborate on his actual attitudes. '''He never wanted to be regarded as a [[hero]] or [[leader]], and he never had [[political]] [[ambitions]].''' His prewar isolationist speeches were given in all [[sincerity]] for what he thought was the good of the country and the world. ... He was accused of being anti-Semetic, but in the 45 years I lived with him I never heard him make a remark against the [[Jews]], not a crack or joke, and neither did any of our children. ** [[Anne Morrow Lindbergh]] in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/27/specials/lindbergh-jews.html ''The New York Times'' (20 April 1980)] * '''No one I know of has foreseen an [[America]] like the one we live in today.''' No one (except perhaps the acidic [[H. L. Mencken]], who famously described American democracy as “the worship of jackals by jackasses”) could have imagined that the 21st-century catastrophe to befall the U.S.A., the most debasing of disasters, would appear not, say, in the terrifying guise of an [[Orwellian]] Big Brother but in the ominously ridiculous ''[[w:Commedia dell'arte|commedia dell’arte]]'' figure of the boastful buffoon. How naïve I was in 1960 to think that I was an American living in preposterous times! How quaint! But then what could I know in 1960 of 1963 or 1968 or 1974 or 2001 or 2016? ... However prescient ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' might seem to you, there is surely one enormous difference between the political circumstances I invent there for the U.S. in 1940 and the political calamity that dismays us so today. It's the difference in stature between a President Lindbergh and a President Trump. '''Charles Lindbergh, in life as in my novel, may have been a genuine [[racist]] and an [[anti-Semite]] and a white supremacist sympathetic to [[Fascism]], but he was also — because of the extraordinary feat of his solo trans-Atlantic flight at the age of 25 — an authentic American [[hero]] 13 years before I have him winning the presidency. ... Trump, by comparison, is a massive fraud, the evil sum of his deficiencies, devoid of everything but the hollow [[ideology]] of a megalomaniac.''' ** [[Philip Roth]], comparing Lindbergh's leadership of an "[[w:America First (policy)|America First]]" movement with that of [[Donald Trump]], in responses to being asked about foreseeing an America such as now exists in his earlier writings, including his alternate-history novel ''[[w:The Plot Against America|The Plot Against America]]'' (2004) where Lindbergh defeats [[FDR]] for the presidency in 1940, as quoted in [https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/books/review/philip-roth-interview.html "No Longer Writing, Philip Roth Still Has Plenty to Say" by Charles Mcgrath, in ''The New York Times'' (16 January 2018)] * The people of England are about finished with him. Americans are beginning to feel the same way, and the halo of hero worship around Lindbergh's head is getting pretty well tarnished. ** New Jersey Attorney General David P.

''[to the people who had won the lottery in the past weekend]'' ==Season 14== ===October 11, 2006 [14.2]=== :'''Shaun Majumder''': So are you concerned about these cuts to literacy programs? :'''Graham Wilson '''(Conservative strategist played by Mark Critch): Not at always. We analyzed the data and realizated that we issue the tackling of literalness through learning adults, and continuing edufication. :'''Shaun Majumder''': I see, but is it really necessary to cut given the surplus? :'''Graham Wilson''': Sure it's thinking to tempt "oh, we have a money of surplus here, let's not eliminize anything", but we want don't just surpluses, we want gooder programs delivered more better. :'''Shaun Majumder''': Yes, but over nine million Canadians have trouble reading and writing. :'''Graham Wilson''': I know, it's repressing, especially since many of them are childs. I believe me, we feel a great deal of symphony for these people. It may surmise you to know, I too had trouble learnifying to read. :'''Shaun Majumder''': But doesn't cutting these programs have a broader economic impact with these people having trouble getting jobs? :'''Graham Wilson''': Not really. Look at me. A few months ago, I could barely spill my own mane. Now I have a grape job at the Monastery of Finance. :'''Shaun Majumder''': Well, thank you very much for your time. :'''Graham Wilson''': My pressure. ===March 10, 2006 [14.13]=== :''[Segment entitled "Really Important Canadian History"]'' :'''Mark Critch''': July 1, 1867: the date when Canada's provinces were first united by the [[w:British North America Act|British North America Act]], so called because at the time Britain was a part of North America. It would remain so until the Halifax Explosion of 1958. It was our first president, Sir Ronald A. McDonald, who realized that if united, the provinces would be much stronger. So he took his idea to King Elizabeth, and faster than you could say "boo" Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; [[w:Prince Edward Island|that island]]; Quebec; Ontario, which at the time was called Manitoba; and Manitoba, at the time called Ontario, were joined together. A Capital was picked: Toronto. And a name for the new nation was chosen: Canada, a native Incan word meaning "''greater'' Toronto". ==Season 15== ===February 28, 2008 [15.15]=== :'''"Danny Williams"''': Pakistan and Newfoundland have a lot in common: we're both economically challenged, we man a lot of call centres, our people feature heavily in jokes about people walking into bars. <hr width=50%/> :'''"Pervez Musharaf"''': Hello New-found-land. You know, I admire your premier very much. I love people who make me seem not insane. ==Season 16== ===February 24, 2009 [16.15]=== :'''Spokesperson''': We here at the national Do Not Call Registry would like to sincerely apologize. The registry fell into the wrong hands; many of you who signed up say you're now receiving more telemarketing calls than ever before. We hear you when you say you feel royally screwed, that's why we're launching the national Do Not Royally Screw Registry. Here's how it works: once you've signed up you'll be paired with one of our nation's many lonely seniors. The next time you get a telemarketing call - ''[voiceover continues while showing a man picking up a phone]'' :'''Man''': Hello? :'''Spokesperson''': ...Simply press #65 ''[the man does so]'', and the call will be forwarded to them. :'''Elderly woman''': ''[Answers her phone]'' Hello? I can't find my good scissors and that home-care worker is stealing my shoes! :'''Spokesperson''': She gets someone to talk to. You get peace of mind. And the telemarketer gets an ear-full of this: :'''Elderly woman''': Do you remember Mrs. Cherninky? Lived on Eugeny Street. Well, she borrowed a dress from me in 1974 and I have ''not'' seen it since! ===March 10, 2009 [16.17]=== :'''"George Bush"''': It's good to be in Canada; best country north of North America. I am inspired by you snow-Mexicans. Take your old president, Gene Curtains <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[w:Jean Chrétien|Jean Chrétien]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>; I mean, I had to torture people in secret prisons, [[w:Shawinigan Handshake|he strangles people right out in the open]], man, that takes balls! <hr width=50%/> :'''Gavin Crawford''': Last Sunday was [[International Women's Day]], the global day connecting women around the world and inspiring them to achieve their full potential. To celebrate the event, Prime Minister Stephen Harper cancelled it. ===March 17, 2009 [16.18]=== :'''Mark Critch''': The National Museum of American History announced this week that they discovered a secret message inside one of [[Abraham Lincoln|President Lincoln's]] watches, which they claim was not even seen by the president. Insiders say it's too bad, because the message said, "DUCK!". ===March 24, 2009 [16.19]=== :'''Gavin Crawford''': As the Obama administration pushes through its 800 billion dollar deficit-spending economic stimulus plan, the American public is largely unaware that the true deficit of the American government is actually 65 trillion in total obligations, exceeding the Gross Domestic Product of... the world. <hr width=50%/> :'''"Rex Murphy"''': Last week Canada's science minister refused to say if he believed in evolution, because a question about his religious beliefs was inappropriate. So it is then the utmost delicacy that I say to [[w:Gary Goodyear|Minister Goodyear]], "grow up, boy!". And by the way, I think you can safely cancel the feasibility studies into the cost of a fence around the earth so nobody falls off. ==Episode unidentified== [[File:Canada150 at Parliament Hill in December 2017 (25185231738).jpg|thumb]] * 22 Minutes looks back to the War of 1812, and the brief moment when Canada crushed America.

For when it arrives, it is today, and today, my dear rodents, should prove to be most memorable! === ''The Thirteenth Hat'' [1.13] === :'''Bruce''': When we have more time, I'll acquaint you with the various processes of sculptoring. It's a fascinating art to which I have devoted many hours of study. :'''Dick''': I sure would like to hear about it, Bruce. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henchman''': Many others have tried killing Batman. :'''Mad Hatter''': Many others do not have the lethal equipment of my hat factory. === ''Batman Stands Pat'' [1.14] === :'''Robin''': Well, I'm used to seeing you do the impossible, but getting out of that plaster tomb was impossible! :'''Batman''': Much easier than it seemed, Robin, I simply held my breath. :'''Robin''': Holy Frogman! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': The police department is on its toes.

I knew you'd employ your sneezing powder, so I took an Anti-Allergy Pill! Instead of a sneeze, I've caught you cold! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Suzie''': I'll have nightmares all my life, Mr. Wayne. If it hadn't been for that power failure, where would Robin be? And where would Batman be? :'''Dick''': Where would Dick Grayson be? :'''Suzie''': What? :'''Bruce''': Forget about it, young people. Just be thankful that life is filled with unanswered questions, that's all. Goodbye, Suzie. :'''Suzie''': Goodbye. === ''True or False-Face'' [1.17] === :'''Chief O'Hara''': Commissioner, there's only one man living who can unmask False Face. :''[They glance at the Batphone.]'' :'''Commissioner Gordon''': Chief O'Hara, you've spoken for all of us.

Then why is a right-handed commissioner holding his handkerchief in his left hand? :''[False Face looks and sees he has goofed again. When he tried to flee, Batman grabs him and unmasks him.]'' :'''Chief O'Hara''': Saints alive! It's False Face! :'''Blaze''': So you finally fumbled, False Face! :'''False Face''': For the moment! :''[The Commissioner comes out, all exhausted from the brief capture.]'' :'''Commissioner Gordon''': I lost him! :'''Robin''': Luckily, Commissioner, he found us! :'''Chief O'Hara''': Impersonating a police commissioner!

You may yet meet your match! === ''The Purr-Fect Crime'' [1.19] === :'''Batman''': You feline devil. What have you done with Robin? :'''Catwoman''': Is that any way to greet an old friend? Not even a hello, how are you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Robin, you haven't fastened your safety bat-belt. :'''Robin''': We're only going a couple of blocks. :'''Batman''': It won't be long until you are old enough to get a driver's license, Robin, and you'll be able to drive the Batmobile and other vehicles. Remember motorist safety. :'''Robin''': Gosh, Batman, when you put it that way. === ''Better Luck Next Time'' [1.20] === :''[Catwoman is about to feed Robin to a tiger.]'' :'''Robin''': Catwoman, you are not a nice person. === ''The Penguin Goes Straight'' [1.21] === :'''Robin''': When we put the fake jewels in Miss Starr's safe and take the real ones out, we could be nailed as crooks. :'''Batman''': That's a chance we have to take, Robin. In our well-ordered society, protection of private property is essential. :'''Robin''': Yes, you're right, Batman. That's the keystone to all law and order. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Narrator''': Great Scott, Alfred! Have you forgotten? Batman told you to switch cigarette holders with the Penguin!

In what way, unusual? :'''Batman''': Their garb. For instance, a man wearing a bright green suit with big black question marks on it. :'''Librarian''': Let me think a moment. No, I can't say that I have offhand, but then I see so many people in the course of a day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robin''': Why did you steal that book on the lost treasure of the Incas? :'''Riddler''': For two people about to become human candles, you ask a lot of questions! :'''Batman''': I'm always interested in the way of the criminal mind. === ''Give 'em the Axe'' [1.24] === :'''Moth''': Oh, Batman, honey, Moth has learned her lesson, really she has. Crime doesn't pay! :'''Batman''': Unfortunately you've learned your lesson too late, Moth. A moth who flies around candles is liable to get burned. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bruce''': Most Americans don't realize what we owe to the ancient Incas. Very few appreciate they gave us the white potato and many varieties of Indian corn. :'''Dick''': Now whenever I eat mashed potatoes, I for one will think of the Incas. === ''The Joker Trumps an Ace'' [1.25] === :''[Batman and Robin are on a golf course in the Batmobile.]'' :'''Robin''': Let's get going and make an emergency bat-turn! :'''Batman''': Not this time, old chum. Have to think of the golfers. The retro-rockets would burn up the course for a hundred yards. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dick''': ''[working on a jigsaw puzzle]'' It's so much harder with the pieces upside down. :'''Bruce''': Of course.

Enough to give us good momentum. :'''Robin''': Oh boy, I'll say. Can I go first? I want to see their faces. :'''Batman''': [''Holding Robin back''] Dynamic seniority. === ''The Curse of Tut'' [1.27] === :'''King Tut''': ''[to Nefertiti]'' How many times must I tell you?! Queens consume nectar and ambrosia, not hot dogs! === ''The Pharaoh's in a Rut'' [1.28] === :'''Batman''': In the name of mercy, think back to the days when you were a distinguished professor at Yale University. Give yourself up; I vow that you'll receive the finest medical attention. :'''King Tut''': Chief Torturer, what's the pebble count on Batman? :'''Chief Torturer''': 297, Oh Great Pharaoh! :'''King Tut''': Speed it up! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Human mechanisms are made by human hands, Robin. None of them is infallible. It is a lesson which must be faced. === ''The Bookworm Turns'' [1.29] === :'''Dick''': [''after seeing Commissioner Gordon apparently shot to death on TV''] Holy homicide!

The Batman spots us! === ''The Riddler's False Notion'' [1.32] === :'''Pauline''': My name is Pauline. My lawyer's name is Mr. Oliver Wendell. Why don't you look him up and buzz him? :'''Gordon''': No use, Batman. She's hard as nails. :'''O'Hara''': Knows her legal rights, too. :'''Batman''': A frustrated, would-be actress. A star that was never born. Venting her disappointment on society. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Riddler''': ''[holding up Van Jones]'' Mr. Van Jones, why are you like a clock at midnight? Answer: because both your hands are goin' straight up right now! === ''Fine Finny Fiends'' [1.33] === :'''Batman''': ''[about to cross the street]'' Remember Robin, always look both ways. === ''Batman Makes the Scenes'' [1.34] === === ''Batman: the Movie'' (1966) [1.35] === :'''Miss Kitka''': When I close my eyes, I imagine a world at peace. :'''Bruce''': That's strange... when I close my eyes, I imagine something quite astonishingly different. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robin''': A giant cake of foam rubber! What are the chances? :'''Batman''': I'd say the odds against it would make even the most reckless gambler cringe! == Season 2 == === ''Shoot a Crooked Arrow'' [2.01] === :'''Batman''': He's from Philadelphia. :'''Dick Clark''': How did you know? :'''Batman''': You dipped your diphthong. People from Philadelphia are known for that. === ''Walk the Straight and Narrow'' [2.02] === :'''Batman''': We've got your number, Archer. :'''The Archer''': Impossible, my dear Sheriff of Gothamham. My number's unlisted. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alan A. Dale''': I like that cape, Batman. Very chic. === ''Hot Off the Griddle'' [2.03] === :'''Batman''': Remember the Boy Scouts' motto. :'''Robin''': 'Be prepared'. :'''Batman''': It would do well to keep that in mind at all times. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robin''': Holy oleo! :'''Catwoman''': I didn't know you could yodel. === ''The Cat and the Fiddle'' [2.04] === :'''Robin''': Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared! :'''Batman''': I wasn't scared in the least. :'''Robin''': Not at all? :'''Batman''': Haven't you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies? :'''Robin''': Yeah, because we're smarter than they are! :'''Batman''': I like to think it's because our hearts are pure. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Catwoman''': Batman, you saved my life! :'''Batman''': It was the least I could do. :'''Catwoman''': How can I ever combat you again after all you've done for me? :'''Batman''': Let's hope it never comes to that, Catwoman, because, in the end, veracity and rectitude always triumph. :'''Catwoman''': Batman...are you spoken for? :'''Batman''': Huh? :'''Catwoman''': Married, engaged, or going steady? :'''Batman''': My crime fighting leaves me little time for social engagements. :'''Catwoman''': Boy...have I got a girl for you! === ''The Minstrel's Shakedown'' [2.05] === :'''The Minstrel''': ''[strums his lyre and sings, to the tune of "Rock-A-Bye Baby"]'' ''Batman and Robin, rotate and revolve.'' <br/> ''As the heat grows, your bodies dissolve.'' <br/> ''When it's still hotter, then you will melt.'' <br/> ''Nothing left but your utility belt.'' :'''Robin''': ''[as he and Batman are spun around on the rotating spit]'' Is this it, Batman?

A species of ancient Egyptian beetle, sacred to the Sun God, Hymeopolos. And from which the term scarab is derived. But, you should know that, Robin, if you are up on your studies of Egyptology. :'''Robin''': You're right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': I know. Hieroglyphics self-taught are a chore, Robin; but, it is a surefire way to unravel the secrets of the ancient mystics. === ''Tut's Case Is Shut'' [2.08] === :'''Batman''': Experience teaches slowly, Robin. And at a cost of many mistakes. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Chief O'Hara leads away King Tut, who is back in his persona of Professor McElroy]'' :'''King Tut''': I'm a professor at Yale! You can't-!

Remember, in crime-fighting always keep your sights raised. === ''Ma Parker'' [2.10] === :'''Dick''': Gosh Bruce, Greek is still Greek to me. :'''Aunt Harriet''': It's Greek to a lot of Greeks too. It's one of the world's oldest, most important, most beautiful languages. :'''Dick''': It may be, Aunt Harriet, but can't we take a breather and work out in the gym for a while? :'''Aunt Harriet''': But the mind needs exercise too, Dick. :'''Dick''': Well, my mind is getting muscle-bound. :'''Bruce''': Ahhh, there is an old saying, Dick.

Even crime-fighters must eat. And especially you. You're a growing boy and you need your nutrition. === ''The Clock King Gets Crowned'' [2.12] === :'''Henchman''': You've done what nobody else could have done. You've finished off Batman and Robin.

Plug me in at once into the Hotline Batphone circuit. :'''Alfred''': I regret to say, sir, Batman and Robin are not at present available. :'''Gordon''': What? Surely, you, you must be jesting. :'''Alfred''': Alas, sir, I am not. Batman is enjoying one of his infrequent vacations. :'''Gordon''': Ohh! Catastrophic! Unprecedented! Batman and Robin not available! You know what this means, don't you? :'''O'Hara''': If you're thinking what I'm afraid you're thinking. :'''Gordon''': Precisely, Chief O'Hara. The moment we've dreaded for years has arrived. This time, we're going to have to solve a case ourselves. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Who attacked you? :'''Chandell''': I've covered for the fiend long enough. It was my criminal twin brother--Harry :'''Robin''': Holy fratricide! Any idea where he hangs out? :'''Chandell''': As a matter of fact, yes. His lair is an abandoned music roll factory. 20 B Front Street. Zip code, 9999979. === ''The Dead Ringers'' [2.16] === :'''Robin''': Holy Metronome!

We can live with those. However, a threat to all of Gotham City is something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': We have tickets for tonight's finals in the Gotham City Miss Galaxy contest. I know Robin is a little young for this sort of thing, but... :'''Robin''': I'm not gonna be young all my life, Batman, and besides beauty contests are practically an American institution. :'''Batman''': You see, gentlemen, such pure logic is indisputable. === ''The Impractical Joker'' [2.21] === :'''Cornelia''': It's a cool pad, Joker. :'''Joker''': Huh, all you've seen of this cool pad, Cornelia, is that mirror. Vanity is a waste of time.

Sometimes, a fast gun has the edge on a fast batrope. I'm not invading your territory, I'm just tracking down a clue incognito. :'''Batman''': Welcome, and good luck. If you need help, you can always locate us through Commissioner Gordon's office. :'''Robin''': The Batphone number's is unlisted. :'''Sam Stone''': Smart thinking.

What if we get caught? :'''Bolt''': We won't Latch. Think of all we owe the Joker. The fine things he's done for us: Sneaking those files into the prison; dumping our parole officer in the Gotham River; kidnapping that entire jury, and holding the judge's wife as hostage. He's been a real friend. :'''Latch''': You're right, Bolt. There should be more fine, upstanding men like the Joker. === ''Marsha, Queen of Diamonds'' [2.23] === :'''Narrator''': Watch out, Batman!

So, knowing you both to be conscientious gentlemen and faithful husbands, I'm sure that if you just tell both your wives that you were involved in some special and, uh, confidential assignment, that will suffice. :'''Commissioner Gordon''': Have you ever been married? :'''Alfred''': Eh -- Well, no, no. :'''Commissioner Gordon''': Alfred, at the risk of sounding pompous, experience with ''women'' and experience with ''wives'' are two vastly different things. :'''Chief O'Hara''': Amen. === ''Come Back, Shame'' [2.25] === :'''Shame''': I'll tell the world you died with your Bat-boots on!

Something to make the ''corrida'' seem more colorful. Actually, bulls are color-blind. They react to movement, not to color. :'''Robin''': Holy toreador! :'''Batman''': The word is "matador", Robin. "Toreador" is a word of convenience used by [[w:Bizet|Bizet]] in his classic opera ''[[w:Carmen|Carmen]]''. :'''Robin''': Holy matador, then! :'''Batman''': Very apt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robin''': But he knows that we know about his hideout there! :'''Batman''': Correct! However, knowing that, he'd think that we'd think he would not return there, therefore he did and so will we! :'''Robin''': Holy Bat Logic. === ''The Penguin's Nest'' [2.27] === :'''Robin''': It sure is a shame, Batman. A restaurant with such terrific chow turning out to be a mere front for some criminal scheme. :'''Batman''': Look at it this way, Robin. That $100 cover charge is pretty stiff. Penguin's "terrific chow" is hardly within the budget of the average worker. :'''Robin''': Gosh yes, you're right, Batman. All the needy people in the world, all the hungry children. :'''Batman''': Good thinking, Robin. === ''The Bird's Last Jest'' [2.28] === :'''Chickadee''' [''holding her umbrella-gun to Aunt Harriet's head'']: Batman!

You're right, Batman. It's nothing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sandman''': It's naptime for both of you! === ''The Catwoman Goeth'' [2.34] === '''Sandman''': To the medical eye such childish claptrap means just one thing, young man: You need some sleep. === ''The Contaminated Cowl'' [2.35] === :'''The Mad Hatter''': This phase of my career will never be over, until I have The Caped Crusader's cowl safely in my custody! === ''The Mad Hatter Runs Afoul'' [2.36] === :'''Mad Hatter''': Who made Batman and Robin famous crime fighters? Criminals, that's who. If you want to show a little respect to the departed, stay crooked! That's the least you can do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Right now, Robin and I are off to nail Mad Hatter. :'''Gordon''': The Mad Hatter? At a time like this?

I'd like to shake hands with both of you. Can't we be friends? :'''Robin''': I'd rather shake hands with a spitting cobra! :'''Batman''': You're being cynical, Robin.

Wh-why, are we moving there? :'''Andy''': Someone told me about it once. They said it was the most beautiful place they had ever seen. It's on this hill. Or is it a mountain? Or maybe it's on a hill by a mountain. Anyway, I was thinking last night that we should move there. What do you say? :'''Ephram''': I say that's not even a reason. :'''Andy''': I know. How great is that? We'll be moving to some place for no reason at all. :'''Ephram''': That's not great. That's crazy. That's [[w:Harrison Ford|Harrison Ford]] in [[w:The Mosquito Coast|Mosquito Coast]] crazy. :'''Andy''': You say crazy. I say it might be the sanest thing I've ever done. Now, I want this to be a democratic decision so we're going to put it to vote. Everyone who wants to move...and get their own horse, raise your hand. :''[Andy has his hand raised and at the horse comment, Delia does too.]'' :'''Andy''': Well, that decides it. :'''Ephram''': Democratic? You bought her vote. :'''Andy''': Yeah. That's the American version. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Teen #1''': Hey freak, what's with your hair, man? Did they run out of green at the store? :'''Teen #2''': Hey you, my friend here asked you a question. Where's your manners? :'''Ephram''': Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't understand. You see, I don't speak dumb-ass. Since obviously you do, maybe you can translate for me. <hr width=50%/> :'''Amy''': You were bold out there. :'''Ephram''': Oh, it was strategy, really. :'''Amy''': Strategy? :'''Ephram''': I find it's best when dealing with any unfamiliar bully to strike early with sarcasm. Yeah, it makes them wonder if I have some butt-kicking prowess that they're unable to detect. :'''Amy''': Wow. You have really thought this out. :'''Ephram''': Yeah, well, spend as much time in a gym locker as me, you'd have a few theories of your own. <hr width=50%/> :'''Amy''': What's it like? Having a dad who's famous. :'''Ephram''': Oh. It's like this: You're eight years old. He misses your birthday party. You wanna cry about it but he's on TV that night for separating the heads of Siamese twins. You're ten. He's not there to see you in the school play. He is however in the New York Times for restoring the vision of a five-year-old kid. I think he was my dad's excuse for missing my elementary school graduation. You know you want to be mad at him. You wanna hate him. But you can't. He's saving lives. <hr width=50%/> :'''Ephram''': He said you were crazy. And you know what? News flash, you are. All right, you quit your job, you grow this ugly ass beard, you look like you wear your clothes to bed and you move us to No-wheres-ville U.S.A.! And why? For what reason? Because someone told you it was pretty once!? And if that's not enough, you talk to Mom like she's still here; I've seen you, and Delia has too. What do I have to say for myself?! What do you have to say for yourself?! :'''Andy''': I can't believe you think my beard is ugly. :'''Ephram''': Mom would never have done this to us! She never would've moved us here and gone crazy! :'''Andy''': Don't be so sure of that! :'''Ephram''': I am sure! All right, I knew her. You didn't know her. We all just tolerated you! :'''Andy''': Hey, that's pretty good, what else you got?! :'''Ephram''': I wish you died instead of her! :'''Andy''': Well, I wish I did too, you little bastard! :'''Ephram''': I hate you! :'''Andy''': Well, I hate you right back! Now get in that house! :'''Ephram''': I'm going for a ride! ''[He grabs his bike]'' :'''Andy''': Oh, yeah?! :'''Ephram''': Yeah! :'''Andy''': At some point you're getting in that house! === ''The Great Doctor Brown'' === :'''Andy''': ''[at Gino Chang's, a combination Chinese/Italian restaurant]'' OK, we'll have one order of the minestrone soup, two orders of the chicken parmesan, one sweet and sour pork and a couple of egg rolls to start. :'''Ephram''': I'd like to take a moment and point out that this is... hands down the weirdest restaurant we've ever been to. And we're from New York City where we're regularly served by drag queens named Frank. :'''Delia''': I think it's cool! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': ''[about Ephram]'' Over my dead and decaying corpse you're going to Thaw Fest with that boy! :'''Amy''': I am not going with him. I'm just meeting him there. And, since when do you care who I go to Thaw Fest with? :'''Harold''': Since you started asking future parolees to attend with you. :'''Amy''': You don't know him! This is so unfair. :'''Harold''': Well in certain parent-child conflicts, fairness is irrelevant. :'''Amy''': Why is it always the parent that always gets to decide the relevancy of fairness? :'''Rose''': An excellent question, if I do say so myself. :'''Harold''': Hello, dear. :'''Amy''': Mom, Dad is being EXCRUCIATING! :'''Harold''': Excruciating literally means to feel the pain of crucifixion. While my law may be difficult at times, I think we can both agree that Jesus had it a bit tougher. :'''Amy''': He didn't live here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[[Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]]'', excellent choice, Delia. :'''Ephram''': Don't let her watch it. :'''Delia''': Be quiet. :'''Andy''': Am I missing something? :'''Ephram''': Eight years of raising her. She can't watch that movie, it upsets her. :'''Delia''': It does not. :'''Ephram''': Well, that is if you don't count the screaming and nights on my floor. :'''Andy''': Delia? :'''Delia''': Well, it used to scare me, but it doesn't anymore. :'''Ephram''': Ah, that's what she always says. Like a junkie begging for more smack. :'''Delia''': I'm not a junkie, you're a junkie. :'''Andy''': Nobody's a junkie in this house. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bright''': How goes it.. Bone-lick? :'''Amy''': He has to hang with us. :'''Ephram''': No offense, Amy, but he's really my least favorite thing about you. :'''Bright''': Yeah? Well, you're really my least favorite thing about you. :'''Ephram''': Dude, you've really gotta work on the insults. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': So what do people do up here, besides wait for an early demise... and ask really dumb questions :'''Amy''': Actually I brought you up here to tell you something very important. Grover. :'''Ephram''': Grover? :'''Amy''': It's my nickname. I always loved Grover as a kid. I know for most kids, it's all "Winnie the Pooh" or "Hello Kitty", or occasionally, "Strawberry Shortcake" but, for me, life was about a little blue Muppet named Grover. :'''Ephram''': Well, Grover was a very underrated Muppet. === ''Friendly Fire'' === :'''Irv''': ''[About Edna]'' We went steady in the 5th grade. She introduced me to hickies and shoplifting. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Maybe if you weren't scowling all the time people wouldn't feel the need to disinvite you places. :'''Ephram''': You're right maybe I should take up football and cow tipping and then I could the most popular boy in the school. <hr width="50%'/> :'''Delia''': You should be happy you made a friend. :'''Ephram''': What's that supposed to mean? :'''Delia''': It's not easy. Everybody in my class has known each other since the nineties. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Boy, can I clear a hallway or what? :'''Amy''': That's Kayla and Paige. They're allergic to anyone who's not at the top-2 popularity percentile. :'''Ephram''': I'm only 98 percent short. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': My friend Kayla is having a birthday party. Wanna go? :'''Ephram''': Do you need somebody to play Happy Birthday? :'''Amy''': Come on... you'll be my guest. :'''Ephram''': I don't know... me, your friends... lit candles in the same room? === ''The Kissing Bridge'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Legend has it this bridge was constructed by a young man and women who lived on opposite sides of the river the two fell in love and constructed the bridge so they could meet in the middle and share what would be their first kiss. From that day on it would be known appropriately as the kissing bridge and if people had just stuck to the kissing Dr. Brown would have been able to avoid one heck of a crisis. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': My dad is going to kill me. :'''Ephram''': I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him why you went. :'''Amy''': That's not the way it works at my house. :'''Ephram''': How does it work? :'''Amy''': He yells, I apologize, there's a sentencing of some sort, and then I plea bargain with my mother until the sentence gets reduced. :'''Ephram''': In my house it's more like, I yell, he yells, we both keep yelling, and eventually someone gets tired. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Did I mention I had only three hours of sleep last night? :'''Edna''': About a hundred times now. I swear, you yammer on like an old woman. Besides, we're almost there. :'''Harold''': Almost where? We're in the middle of forest oblivion. If I didn't know you better mother, I'd think you brought me out here to knock me off. On second thought... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': What? What is it? Are you moving us to Zimbabwe or something? What? :'''Andy''': No no no, it's nothing like that, I'm just thinking about something. It's funny actually. Well it's not so much funny 'ha ha' is... you see... the thing is, I don't know whether or not you've ever had sex. :'''Ephram''': And you never will. :'''Andy''': OK then. Good talking to you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Look, Ephram, I think you're being just a little bit melodramatic, it's not like I'm trying to ruin your life. :'''Ephram''': You don't have to try, you do it pretty naturally. === ''Deer God'' === :'''Andy''': What is that out front? :'''Ephram''': Doe, a deer. A female deer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': My mom used to talk to God in a Synagogue. Maybe we could go to one? :'''Edna''': The nearest Synagogue's two hours away. Maybe we could talk to God someplace local. How about the video store? We can rent ''[[w:The Chosen (film)|The Chosen]]''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': I'm pretty sure the trail follows the creek, but check the map. :'''Andy''': No, left. :'''Ephram''': Sure? :'''Andy''': I used to navigate people's frontal lobes Ephram, I think I can follow directions. <hr width=50%/> :'''Ephram''': [to Amy] I haven't made anything for myself here... except you. === ''The Doctor is In'' === :'''Ephram''': I can't remember the last time someone said no when the great Doctor Brown offered his help, Colin's surgery a done deal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Doctor Brown is one of the premier brain surgeons in the United States, patients fly halfway around the world for a consultation and we have him--right here and he wants to help us. :'''Mrs. Hart''': No. No he doesn't. We agreed that Colin should have the surgery and it was Doctor Brown who changed his mind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edna''': ''[to Dr. Abbott]'' If you wanna see [Dr. Brown], I gotta have a reason. You could be the Unabomber for all I know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[to Dr. Brown]'' Because the guy I know would give his left nut to rescue a kid in a coma. You know, be the town hero. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': ''[to Dr. Brown]'' You owe it to this kid to perform whatever miracle you've got up your sleeve. You owe it to Colin, and to his parents, and to my brokenhearted daughter, and to the universe or whoever decided that you would be [[Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo]], and I would be… less remarkable. Hell, you owe it to me. === ''We Hold These Truths'' === :'''Andy''': ''[[w:Cluedo|Clue]]'' doesn't come in travel size? :'''Ephram''': One of the world's greater atrocities. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': You know, there's a reason men don't wear ruffles. :'''Colin''': It's not that bad. If this were 1775, you'd be a total chick magnet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': So, what's he like? Colin. :'''Nina''': He's a charmer. You know, he's the kind of kid who forgets to mow your lawn for two weeks, then when he finally comes, you end up paying him for three. I think he was All State football. And pretty smart, too. :'''Ephram''': So he's basically like God. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mole''': Nice truck, Hart. Too bad it's your Daddy's. :'''Colin''': Whatever, McNally. Like I can't drive this whenever I want. :'''Mole''': I'm sure you can. :'''Colin''': Besides your brother there is still the kid who threw up on the DMV guy during his driving test. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Ephram, what are you doing here? :'''Ephram''': I wanted a [[w:Twix|Twix]]. :'''Amy''': You came a long way. :'''Ephram''': Well, there's two in a pack, and I only wanted one. I needed someone to share with. :'''Amy''': I just wanted to touch base with normal for a bit. :'''Ephram''': You definitely called the wrong person then. === ''Till Death Do Us Part'' === :'''Harold''': I am sorry. For being such a jerk about the dance class. :'''Rose''': No you're not. You just don't want me mad at you any longer because it's uncomfortable for you. :'''Harold''': I'm scared. I don't want to change. I don't want you to change. I like things the way they are. :'''Rose''': Everyone changes; we can change together. :'''Harold''': That's not always the case. Look at the Keys. She went one way, he went another; now where's either one of them? :'''Rose''': We are not the Keys, Harold. :'''Harold''': Well I'm sure even the Keys didn't think they were the Keys until they... were. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': What respectable practitioner has 15 free hours on his hands? :'''Andy''': Me. :'''Harold''': I said ''respectable'' practitioner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': If he suddenly wakes up tomorrow, are you and I gonna become total strangers? :'''Amy''': Strangers? Ephram, I've shared more with you in the past few months, than I have with anybody in my whole life. <hr width=50%/> :'''Andy''': You know, when your mother died, a thousand people said a thousand stupid things to me and I just wanted one of them to give me a reason not to die. === ''Turf Wars'' === :'''Andy''': Do me a favor, you know how you normally behave? :'''Ephram''': Distant and miserable? :'''Andy''': Yeah. Do the opposite. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': You don't know my father-in-law. Not only is he one of New York's premiere transplant surgeons...he's also the best dad who ever lived. He somehow managed to perform over 150 liver transplants a year and never missed a single birthday. Oh, and did I mention my children worship him? :'''Edna''': He also walks on water? :'''Andy''': Oh, jogs on it. Does push-ups on it...One handed push-ups. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': This is the diner. We eat here a lot. :'''Ruth''': What do you mean, a lot? Doesn't your father cook a meal every once in a while? :'''Edna''': Only if he's feeling cruel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Are you drunk? :'''Ephram''': Not enough, but hey...we can fix that. Toss me a Heineken! :'''Andy''': You think this is funny? It's bad enough that you're drunk, and don't think we're not gonna talk about that, but you had to pick this weekend to become a teenager? You haven't been to a party since we've been here and now, all of a sudden, you're getting plastered and arrested? If you wanted to embarrass me in front of your grandparents, you're doing one hell of a job. :'''Ephram''': Oh, right...I forgot. this is all about you. I got myself arrested, just to make you feel bad about yourself. :'''Andy''': That's not what I meant, and you know it. :'''Ephram''': ''[Sarcastically]'' Hey, look at me...I'm super dad. Let's fish and make waffles. I've got news for you, they're not buying it. But don't worry...If you promise to raise my allowance, I'll promise to give you a hug...right in front of Grandpa. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jacob''': Getting what you want is easy. Knowing what you want -- that's the challenge. === ''Is There a Doctor in the House?'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' No matter how old you are, it's hard not to get excited when snow starts to fall. Because, so long as it keeps coming, no one can make you go anywhere or do anything. All life's rules are suspended...The best thing about snow, other than snowballs, is that it has an equalizing effect. Snow can take any object or situation and make it pretty just the same. Couldn't care less what's underneath...It's not just that snow makes the world pretty. Snow gives us all a second chance. Snow cleanses. Hiding the sins of all with no prejudices, favor or blame. Everything gets to be pure again. If only for a little while. Which might be all you need. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Like it or not, you tend to have an effect on my moods. :'''Amy''': I've seen your moods. That's a lot of pressure. :... :'''Ephram''': ''[To Amy]'' It's nothing you do on purpose, but... it's like when you're nice to me, there's nothing I can't do. And when you're mad at me, it's all I can think about, you know? Then you say things like: 'maybe you should move on' and it sticks with me for a little while, you know? You're in my head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': You had a phone call from New York. You know someone named Skuz? :'''Ephram''': He was only over at our house every day. :'''Andy''': Well, Rachel Laquer is having a mondo roof top party before winter term. And let me see if I got this right: 'she's totally hot for you're ass'. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I got in a fight with Colin, and he ended up in a coma. I bitched at Bright, and his appendix ruptured. I sort of needlessly bit your head off the other day and haven't apologized yet and I don't want you to end up in the hospital before you go. Call me superstitious, but... :'''Ephram''': You have got to be without a doubt the strangest girl I have ever met. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Remember last week it was really cold. You tried on some of your old sweaters. :'''Delia''': I got too big for them. :'''Ephram''': Yeah. :'''Delia''': I couldn't move my arms. :'''Ephram''': That's kind of how I feel about Everwood. Make sense? :'''Delia''': I think so, except you're not too big; you fit here. === ''A Thanksgiving Tale'' === :'''Bright''': ''[about Dr. Abbott being nice to everyone]'' Mom what's dad doing? :'''Rose''': He's having a mid-life crisis dear. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Mother, I want to ask you and Irv if you would do me the honor of joining us for a Thanksgiving meal? :'''Edna''': Come again? :'''Harold''': It would mean the world to Rose and the kids and of course, myself. :'''Edna''': Is this one of those hidden camera shows? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edna''': ''[about Harold]'' Well, I guess it finally fell out. :'''Irv''': What? :'''Edna''': That stick up his ass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': You're going to have to stop doing that, you know. :'''Amy''': What? :'''Ephram''': Saying stuff that makes me want to kiss you. :'''Amy''': You too. :''[they kiss]'' === ''Vegetative State'' === :'''Nina''': I hear you're working narcotics, Detective Friday. :'''Andy''': You know, the speed at which news travels around here defies the space-time continuum. :'''Nina''': Well, I'm friends with Irma's daughter, Lily, and she is freaking out. :'''Andy''': Well, I would be too if I found out my mother was growing more weed than Cheech and Chong combined. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[seeing Andy standing in his bedroom doorway]'' Why are you doing that lingering thing you do? :'''Andy''': Well, I don't want to force a conversation. :'''Ephram''': That'd be a first. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': You know, you may need to be there for Amy. :'''Ephram''': Well, Amy and I aren't exactly talking much. :'''Andy''': Really? When did that happen? :'''Ephram''': A while ago. :'''Andy''': How'd I miss that? :'''Ephram''': You were busy being clueless. :'''Andy''': That's my job. So what happened? Did you two kiss or something? ''[Ephram gives him a startled look]'' I'm not ''that'' clueless. :'''Ephram''': I don't know what happened. One day she's kissing me, then I make the mistake in giving her this stupid mix CD and now its like I'm the Okumo and she's Shiva the Destroyer. ''[Andy looks at him, puzzled]'' Manga reference. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': ''[about her son]'' How was he? :'''Andy''': Well, I'd say he was a little angel, but there were too many witnesses. :'''Nina''': Oh boy! :'''Andy''': Well, I learned how to make a cape, how to unclog a toilet and how to remove a chewy cookie from a VCR. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': How come you're so smart? :'''Ephram''': I'm not, believe me. If I was, I'd be wearing a warmer jacket right now… and I wouldn't be telling you to go back to your boyfriend. === ''The Price of Fame'' === :'''Bright''': I've always been fond of you. I'm just, you know…shy. :'''Ephram''': Name one thing you like about me. :'''Bright''': One thing, how ‘bout a thousand. You're sensitive. You're extremely clean… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Colin''': Bright told me about you. :'''Ephram''': Look, I don't know what Bright told you but he's running on empty as far as brain cells are concerned. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[about Colin]'' You two friends now? :'''Ephram''': Kind of. It turns out we have some things in common. :'''Andy''': You mean Amy? :'''Ephram''': Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with Amy. :'''Andy''': So, why aren't you sitting with him? :'''Ephram''': Because of Amy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': What's going on between you and Colin. I mean...why are you being all buddy-buddy with him? :'''Ephram''': I'm not being buddy-buddy with anyone, alright. He approached me. :'''Amy''': He did!. . .I mean, he did? Why? :'''Ephram''': I don't know. Maybe he thinks I'm pretty. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wendell''': Dude, what are you doing? The popular table beckons. :'''Ephram''': So? :'''Wendell''': So? You can't say no. That's like saying no to free comics. Or saying no to making out with [[w:Gwyneth Paltrow|Gwyneth Paltrow]]. Such things just aren't done. === ''Colin the Second'' === :'''Andy''': When will you be home? :'''Ephram''': Usual time. Unless the schoolyard pusher has some good stuff. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Why can't you go look for him? :'''Bright''': Because I'm on the team. :'''Ephram''': Is that what they call this wooden plank? :'''Bright''': Look just go find him, nutsack. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Carl used to be Everwood's version of Tom Cruise. I suppose that appeals to a certain woman, you know the type. Rugged...athletic...young. :'''Andy''': Why don't you ask him out, Harold? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[At the basketball game]'' Why is the Abbott kid waving at you? :'''Ephram''': I don't know. Probably needs help counting the points. === ''Snow Job'' === :'''Andy''': Are you dilated yet? :'''Rev. Keyes''': I'm not sure, but everything has a rainbow halo around it. You look like Jesus. :'''Andy''': I get that a lot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gemma''': I like hanging out with your brother. He doesn't have a lot of facial hair so I can kiss him for a long time without breaking out. :'''Amy''': Yeah I saw. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[about the ski trip]'' I gotta go! It's...it's a church thing...to cleanse my soul. :'''Harold''': Oh please! I delivered a baby that was the product of last year's bacchanal. It's just an excuse for your friends to drink and exchange hickeys. It does more damage to the Catholic church's reputation than the crusades. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I didn't know you were going on the ski trip. :'''Bright''': Well Gemma's goin'. And I go where the booty goes ''[Imitates whip cracking]'' :'''Amy''': Later in my life, when I am in therapy you'll be able to take most of the credit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Colin''': Where do you think Bright and Gemma are? :'''Amy''': Probably groping each other somewhere on a gondola. === ''My Funny Valentine'' === :'''Andy''': ''[in a letter to Julia]'' Dear Valentine, come away with me. If I had a day with you and you only, I would enjoy the simple things. The things that, in the end, when time steals the rest away, are the only things we'll remember. I would paddle you across a still lake in a rowboat and read poetry to you until you fall asleep and I would never think about the hours. Dear Valentine, if I had one day with you and you only... I would admire every line of your face, every strand of your hair... Every graceful movement of your hands or your eyes or your body. If I had one perfect day... Don't you see? My heart beats only for you. Dear Valentine, these are the things I remember of my love. A warm hand, a warm breath. Your warm mouth. Your arms around mine... I remember feeling safe, cease-less. Like one person. The two of us still, at rest, entwined... I remember how I felt the first time I kissed you. It felt like the high dive. What do you remember? How will I ever know what was inside your heart? Where did they go? All the things we think and feel but don't say. Dear Valentine... These are the things I never told you. These are the things I need you to know. That I loved you always. And my love was so big, it lives still after you're gone. I'd like to tell you that I would do it differently. That if I had one more day I would do everything right. But I know that isn't true. I'd make all the same mistakes. That is except one. I wouldn't say goodbye. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Laynie''': Okay, I challenge you. To an "I Hate Everwood" contest. I'll go first. I hate the fact that the egg rolls at Gino Chang's smell like lasagna. :'''Ephram''': I hate that everything here is a 'fest'. Thaw Fest, Fly Fest, Pie Fest. What does that all mean? And what's so festive about catching some fish or watching some guy melt? :'''Laynie''': I hate that they call it 'Main' Street. It's the only street in town. They should just call it 'Street'. :'''Ephram''': Do you have a subway map of another city covering one wall of your room? :'''Laynie''': Do you choose colleges based on how far they are from here? :'''Ephram''': Have you ever had a dream that you were trapped underground in a sewer full of mice and woke up disappointed to discover that you were still in Everwood? :'''Laynie''': Do you have a packed bag and a plane ticket in your room? :'''Ephram''': C'mon. :'''Laynie''': If you don't believe me I'll show it to you. :'''Ephram''': No, I believe you. I still have the bag packed...I just haven't bought the ticket yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Ephram? What are you doing here. :'''Laynie''': I found him after school at the post office hanging around the outbound mail box. I think someone was trying to return him. :'''Ephram''': I wish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Laynie's cool, isn't she? :'''Ephram''': Huh? :'''Amy''': Laynie. The two of you looked like you were getting along the other day. That's... that's so great. :'''Ephram''': Well, I'm glad you approve. Why are you so interested in me and Laynie anyway? :'''Amy''': I don't know. She's my friend... you're my friend. :'''Ephram''': Well, we did receive mail together. To which I went back to her place where I believe we shared a beverage or two. At which point I obviously felt it was time to ask for her hand in marriage. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': What is it you like about him? :'''Laynie''': He's that guy that you'd want to hang out with even if you weren't dating him, and he's cute in that kinda way that's sorta like... you know in the movies that guy you want the girl to end up with that everybody pretends isn't cute, but really is. === ''Everwood, Confidential'' === :'''Laynie''': Nightmare, isn't it? :'''Ephram''': What's going on, except my exact version of 'hell on earth'? :'''Laynie''': Spoils of war. The result of a commercially financed assault against the unattached individual. :'''Ephram''': Valentine's Day? :'''Laynie''': Week after is always the hardest. These newbie couples have the lifespan of a monarch butterfly. By Friday, the halls will be littered with their crispy corpses. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Laynie''': Okay, number one... how'd you get us in here. Two, how did you find this place. And three... how'd you get us in here? :'''Ephram''': I have connections. :'''Laynie''': Mob ties? :'''Ephram''': I'm all kinds of dangerous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Laynie''': I don't know how to break this to you... :'''Ephram''': You're married? :'''Laynie''': No. :'''Ephram''': You're leaving the country? :'''Laynie''': "Stop! :'''Ephram''': You're marrying Bright, then leaving the country? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Matt''': So, where's this date taking place? :'''Ephram''': I don't know. I'm still working on it. :'''Matt''': Okay, not a problem. So what are your options? :'''Ephram''': I live in Everwood. Its either the $1.50 movie theater or the $3.00 movie theater, both of which are currently playing Lilo and Stitch. :'''Matt''': Ever hear of ''Ezekiel's''? :'''Ephram''': No, but it sounds religious which doesn't exactly spell out 'action' in my mind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Laynie''': You looked so uncomfortable the other day. Like I embarrassed you or something. :'''Ephram''': Look, I'm gonna mess up because that's just what I do. But at least give me a chance to mess up. I mean, I'm capable of such stupidity that you'd be wasting my talent by ending this now. === ''The Unveiling'' === :''[flashback]'' :'''Ephram''': ''[about Dr. Brown]'' Why don't you just leave him? We don't need him, he-he doesn't do anything. We could move away from here. I could help take care of Delia. :'''Julia''': We do need him. I need him, Ephram. I know you don't understand but I love your father very much. I couldn't imagine my life without him. And I'm telling you, this family wouldn't work without him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': I was worried about your friend. :'''Amy''': My boyfriend! Boy-friend!! God, I can't believe I didn't see this sooner! It's so obvious what you're doing. :'''Harold''': Wh-what are you talking about? :'''Amy''': Oh please, you're trying to keep Colin and me apart. You're not worried about Colin's health. The only thing you're worried about is that I might be growing up too fast and you don't like it. Well, that's just too damn bad! Isn't it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': It's an impossible predicament. I mean, they don't want us to treat them like children but then when you try to talk to them like an adult, they act like... :'''Andy''': Teenagers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': My child won't talk to me anymore. Apparently, I've broken a sacred trust by simply voicing an honest concern. :'''Andy''': If it makes you feel any better, Ephram's not talking to me right now, either. :'''Harold''': Big deal. He never talks to you. You're used to it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': You know, I've been angry at you. I've been hating you for a long time now. And I was wrong. You never deserved to be treated that way. Sorry. :'''Andy''': You know you don't need to apologize, Ephram. I failed you as a father for 15 years. I was never there for you or your mother. That's why sometimes you feel like throwing me off a cliff and that's why your mother did what she did. And I don't blame either of you for it. === ''The Miracle of Everwood'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Forget for a minute what the real world looks like, forget what you know, sometimes you need to believe in what isn't exactly there. A daydream of better nights. A storybook fantasy where life is ordered and consistent and tales get awfully exciting before they wrap up nicely for all involved. Who are we to enforce reality? After all, you never know when the good angel of fortune might bring a page from your book to life and throw a kind of miracle your way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''PE teacher''': Late again, Brown. :'''Ephram''': I got stuck in lab. Still working on my study of why playing sports makes you call people by their last name. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': You have to stop following me around, Arnie. :'''Arnie''': I can't. I decided. You're my girlfriend. :'''Delia''': I am not. :'''Arnie''': I decided. :'''Delia''': Do I have to do anything? ''[Arnie shakes his head no]'' Okay, but only if you do everything I tell you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Some magazine is sending a guy to interview me. :'''Harold''': I wouldn't get too excited. It's hardly rare for some local birdcage liner to want to fill the space between the Friday crossword and the tuna frittata recipe with whatever profile they can muster. So what rag is selling ad space on your dime? :'''Andy''': ''New York Magazine''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[to Amy]'' Let me guess: Colin told you I might try to tell you that he was still sick so you'd doubt him? ''[Amy nods]'' Everyone thinks I'm a lot dumber than I am. Why is that? Do I dress dumb? === ''Moonlight Sonata'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Throughout the centuries mankind has been fascinated by the nighttime sky, ancient people believed that the heavens were moved by a pantheon of gods while others thought that the stars were diamonds hanging just out of reach with all the advances of technology of late, modern science offers more opportunities than ever to unravel the mysteries of the night sky. And yet it seems the closer we get to the stars, the less we actually understand them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edna''': ''[to Amy]'' I'm not trying to choose your boyfriends Amy. I'm just trying to keep you from losing too much of yourself while you figure it all out… There's a very fine line between devotion and obsession. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kate''': Oh, you think I'm naïve. :'''Ephram''': If you can't figure out why 28 year-old guys date high school girls, I can't help you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': How do you know all this stuff, Miss Honors Science? :'''Amy''': God had to do something with the other half of your brain. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Dowd''': ''[to Andy]'' We're just like normal folks. Just got more chainsaws, that's all. === ''Episode 20'' === :'''Amy''': Is this seat taken? :'''Ephram''': I'm afraid you can't sit here. This is a very exclusive outcast table. You have to have a special pass. :'''Amy''': I think I have one. :'''Ephram''': Well, there have been a lot of fakes going around. Who gave you yours? :'''Amy''': Colin Hart. :'''Ephram''': Ah, you're probably okay then. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I've chosen you over Ephram about a thousand times, Colin. I've chosen you over everyone else. Already there are all of these people in my life that I care about that I've just treated badly or stepped all over because all I cared about was you. But, they stuck by me. Ephram stuck by me. He sent me back to you when I was discouraged about us, about you never remembering me or caring. He told me to keep going. You're right Colin. I was wrong to be mad at you. It's me I should be mad at for not being a better friend to Ephram because he hasn't just been a good friend to me. He's been a good friend to us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edna''': Oh, it seems to be the way things always go in this community. Men make the mess and the women clean it up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Ephram, hey. You know the Spring Formal coming up? :'''Ephram''': It's kinda hard to miss. :'''Bright''': Do you wanna go? :'''Ephram''': With you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kate''': I always thought I was old for my age. I don't want to be this old. === ''Fear Itself'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' They say that patience is a virtue, that good things come to those who wait. Of course, they also say, he who hesitates is lost. Unfortunately sometimes what looks like patience on the outside is really fear underneath like so much sheep's clothing wrapped around a very clever wolf. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': ''[on the phone]'' Hello... hello. Stop calling here. Look, I know who this is and don't ever call him again. Do you hear me? He told me all about you. What you had is over. He's home with his family, with his son, with me. He loves me. Do you understand? :'''Man's voice''': I'm sorry. Tell him I'm sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Colin''': I can't ask you to stay with me, Amy. Not again. You've been through this before, and I know how much it hurt you. I don't even know what's gonna happen now. I'm not getting better, Amy, and I might get worse. You don't want to deal with that again. :'''Amy''': How do you know what I want? :'''Colin''': Look, I know you wouldn't leave, if I asked you to stay. You're too good of a person. :'''Amy''': Are you kidding me? Colin, I didn't go to that hospital every day because I thought you missed me. I went because I missed you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': I could talk to him, if you'd like. Dr. Brown. I wouldn't enjoy it, mind you, but I could do that for you, if you'd like. :'''Amy''': I wish I would have told someone when I knew he was getting this sick. I never should have pretended that I didn't see it. I don't know why I did that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': My dad used to say there's a thin line between fishing and sitting in a boat getting drunk. :'''Irv''': It's a fine line to straddle. === ''Home'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' I wasn't there the day Colin Hart's life changed forever, but you could feel the earth shake a little from quite a ways off... at the end of it, the young boy and all who loved him would never be the same. In an opposite corner of the world another man's tragedy kept time with Colin Hart's... Andy Brown did what any man would do who felt he had lost everything, he disappeared. He fell apart, lost his center, lost his way... the girl took her chance when she saw it. She begged the doctor's son to help her in her cause, and he did because he loved her and could refuse her nothing. And so it came to pass that one man's tragedy and one boy's loss met... and the boy was saved, and the man was saved, at least for a time... although Colin had cheated death, a little death had crept inside. He was not whole. He was not himself. His own changed face frightened him. He pushed those he cared for far away. The good doctor believed that this boy could still be saved, and that he was the one who could save him, but the boy hadn't decided if life was worth dying for. The choice was all his own... :'''Colin''': What can you promise me? :'''Andy''': Nothing. :'''Colin''': Okay, I'm in. :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' This is the story of Colin Hart and Andy Brown. It's the story of a town that lost its center and strove to regain it. This is the story of Everwood. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Do you remember that girl in the dean's office I was trying to sweet talk into getting me out of Douglas's rotation? Well on our first date she gets in my car and she makes a face like she just sat on a cat. Then she drags me here, puts in me in her Volvo, points to the stick shift and says, 'No self-respecting surgeon should be allowed to drive an automatic.' It was around then I decided I wanted a second date. :'''Ephram''': Didn't Mom drive a Volvo? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Is this Colin's idea of pre-operatative preparation? Corrupting other youths into committing vandalism? :'''Amy''': Uhm, I don't know what you just said...but we're not going to graffiti anything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Colin''': I know you think it's your fault. :'''Bright''': Well, that's like, cause it is. :'''Colin''': Listen... the thing is. Ya know, I remember the inflatable swimming pool you had in your front lawn. Ya know, and the frog that we got from the pet store and we killed because we thought he'd like the washing machine. :'''Bright''': Sparky. :'''Colin''': And the first time I slept over at your house... You're it man. You're my best friend. Whatever it was that happened that night. It's all good between us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I thought you'd be in New York already. :'''Ephram''': I think I'm gonna skip New York this year. I mean, it's the worst time to go anyway. :'''Amy''': Really? I didn't know that. :'''Ephram''': Yeah, it's super humid. Maybe for Christmas. :'''Amy''': Yea, it'd probably be nice to be home for the holidays. :'''Ephram''': Yea, maybe, but... :'''Amy''': But what? :'''Ephram''': I am home. == Season Two == === ''The Last of Summer'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' It's hard to say what happened exactly. For the most part it depends on who you ask. There are as many sides to a story as there are pairs of eyes. It's always been that way; one of those sides must be closer to the truth, but we'll never know which one. I try even now to look back at that time, look past the blame and outrage that made it all so hard to see anything. I try to piece it together; what follows is all I know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I should've called you Laynie. :'''Laynie''': It wasn't your decision. :'''Amy''': No, you, you should've been there. :'''Laynie''': Some days I'm really mad about it. Sometimes, you know, I'm glad I wasn't there. I got a whole extra day to feel normal again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' The funeral for Colin Hart fell on the first warm day of spring. For many who attended, it was the most difficult day they had ever known. But the day was kind enough to pass. I'd like to say it took a while for Everwood to return to business as usual, but it didn't. Bright and Amy went back to their usual summer jobs; Ephram joined them, though his duties were a little less glamorous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[about Dr. Brown]'' I wish he wasn't your father, Ephram. I wish I didn't have to think of him every time I talked to you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Sometimes it is only with the ending of a season that a storyteller can find the most appropriate ending to his tale. As the last hours of summer crept up on Everwood, it seemed everybody was just about ready for a change. A fresh start, filled with new adventures and new friends, and some old ones, and those somewhere in between. For if death reminds us of anything, it reminds us of just how resilient the human spirit is... when it wants to be. [edit] === ''Extra Ordinary'' === :'''Bright''': Who is that? :'''Page''': Stacy Wilson. It's kinda hard to tell since... :'''Laynie''': Since the hooter fairy paid her a visit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Too bad you only recognize her now that she's stacked. :'''Bright''': It's not my fault I'm shallow. It's how God made me. Blame him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': Dad, can I wear this shirt? :'''Andy''': Sure. Why not? :'''Delia''': I can't remember if I wore it yesterday. :'''Andy''': I don't think it matters in fourth grade, honey. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': I guess that's the one advantage of having a father who has no idea what's going on. He's too clueless to become one of the pod-parents. :'''Andy''': Ephram! Hey Ephram! Come on down -- Duke's giving away frisbees. :'''Ephram''': Oh God. He's become one of them. :'''Amy''': Welcome. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Ask any parent and they'll tell you their child is incredibly brilliant. One in a million of those parents might be right. Just try telling that to the other couple hundred thousand. :'''Andy''': ''[After his cellphone rings to the I Dream of Jeanie theme]'' You know, that ring takes all the authority out of what you just said. === ''My Brother's Keeper'' === :'''Ephram''': What do you want? :'''Bright''': Nothing, just to enjoy your company. You want my pudding? :'''Ephram''': Alright, what's the favor Bright? :'''Bright''': What are you talking about, what favor? Ok, it's about Amy. :'''Ephram''': No. :'''Bright''': You don't even know what I was going to ask. :'''Ephram''': It doesn't matter, the answer's no. :'''Bright''': Why? :'''Ephram''': Because whatever is going on with your sister is your business, not mine. Whenever I try to make it my business, she gets mad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Keep an eye on her. Not all the time. Just... when you're not busy being a loner geek with weird t-shirts. :'''Ephram''': You want me to stalk your sister? :'''Bright''': You already do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[To Ephram]'' So you know what I was thinking... If there's all these college guys who are like totally hitting on high school girls, then there's probably a whole surplus of neglected college girls who want to hit on high school guys. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': That was fatherly advice, wasn't it? :'''Ephram''': Not bad. :'''Andy''': See, I really am getting better. :'''Ephram''': Hey, Dad. One more thing... can I go to a frat party tonight? :'''Andy''': A frat party? :'''Ephram''': Yes, there's going to be drinking, drugs, unprotected sex. I'll probably be the youngest person there. Besides, I don't want to go. I have to. :'''Andy''': Why? :'''Ephram''': Because you just said that if I know something, I have to do something about it. :'''Andy''': And so having said that, I'm all but forced to let you go to a party I never would have agreed to prior. Maybe ''you're'' getting better at this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Irv''': This thing you're doing with the stove. I don't understand. :'''Edna''': I'm cooking for my children. Get over yourself. :'''Irv''': But you don't cook. You don't even reheat. === ''East Meets West'' === :'''Madison''': Oh cool, my brother reads comic books too. :'''Ephram''': Oh, actually they're not comic books. It's Manga. Big difference. :'''Madison''': Anyway, he collects the dolls and all that stuff. Spiderman, The Hulk, he loves Samson Storm from X-men. He's 12, it's really cute. Do you have any? :'''Ephram''': No, no dolls. :'''Delia''': Yes you do, you have that guy with the red hair that you won't let me play with. :'''Ephram''': That's not a doll, Delia. That's a collectible. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': ''[about Madison]'' Who was that? :'''Ephram''': Oh you mean Satan? That's Delia's new babysitter. I basically hate her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': I think I am a pretty good judge of people. :'''Ephram''': Yeah? Like that maid you hired back in Manhattan that stole all the silverware? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Madison''': Your dad says you have something to say to me. :'''Ephram''': I apologize... Madison. :'''Madison''': Wow, thank you Ephram. That was very manly, have a carrot stick. :''[puts carrot stick in his mouth]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[reading his essay]'' The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably [[Shakespeare]]. Or maybe [[w:Sting (musician)|Sting]]. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw: my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... it feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse.<p>So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... except maybe yourself a little.<p>When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do.<p>But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again. === ''Daddy's Little Girl'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' They say that from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whomever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes, or the secrets she keeps. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[To Delia]'' I still think picking a hero is overrated. You pick one, you admire them, a week later, they've been arrested. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': So I hear you stick people with needles. Sounds like fun. :'''Linda''': It can be, especially when they're annoying. :'''Ephram''': Oh, so you must really like working with my dad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': You were right, I was wrong. :'''Linda''': It must have caused you some physical pain for you to utter that sentence. :'''Andy''': Just some internal bleeding. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': My hero was born on April 29, 1958, in Wilton, Connecticut. She wore pearl earrings almost every day and wouldn't take them off, even in the shower. She was tall and beautiful and funny and her name was Julia Brown. A year and a half ago, she died, but before that happened, she did a lot of amazing things. I'd like to tell you about some of them today. === ''Blind Faith'' === :'''Reverend Keyes''': God isn't meant to be understood intellectually. Sometimes he's absent on purpose. He wants us to doubt, it makes us stronger. It opens other doors. And as for tragedy, I'm not dieing you know. I've experienced more with my senses in these past 18 months than I have in my entire life. I can feel Katherine. I can touch her. I can smell her and I can hear every tiny wonderful sound she makes and I love her just the same. Maybe more. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Ya know, I don't know why they call it a driving test. All they really care about is parking. :'''Madison''': Well I wouldn't worry about it. Lots of guys ride their bikes to junior prom. Maybe your date can sit on the handlebars. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Well I went out with Ephram but it got kinda weird. :'''Bright''': You guys finally hooked up? :'''Amy''': What?! No. Why would you say something like that? :'''Bright''': I dunno. Maybe because he's mad in love with you and has been for over the past year. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Guys have pride. And he's not gonna sit around playing mind-games with you forever. Soon he's gonna get tired of that, and he's gonna move on. :'''Amy''': I'm just not ready for all the boyfriend-girlfriend stuff and I know with Ephram there'd be no in between. :'''Bright''': Maybe not, but you could do a lot worse. People give me crap all the time for hanging out with Ephram. But I dunno, he's just like... :'''Amy''': Funny. :'''Bright''': Yea! The other day, he's telling me the story about how he's driving a stick for the first time right, and he's like stuck on a hill. Eckleman says: Well what gear were you in? and he says: My jeans and my t-shirt. ''[they laugh]'' I didn't even get it at first... and he's also gonna be pulling in some serious jack with his music one day... damn, maybe ''I'' should ask him out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': You were right Ephram, about everything. I have taken you for granted. But hey, you're a better person than I am. Everybody else sees it, I don't know why you don't. As if you didn't know this already, I'm kinda a giant mess right now. I have been ever since you've known me. I might have been more normal in Junior High, I don't know. The point is, you deserve someone great, Ephram, amazing even. Someone a little less like me and a little more like you. :'''Ephram''': For an apology, that sounded an awful lot like a breakup. :'''Amy''': I'm sorry I wasted your time and it would kill me to think I wasted any more of it. I want you to promise me something. :'''Ephram''': Amy. :'''Amy''': Promise me that you won't let me and you get in the way of you and somebody else. :'''Ephram''': ''[after a long pause]'' I promise. === ''Three Miners From Everwood'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' The town of Everwood was built around a silver mine opened in 1857. In 1929, like much of America, the mine closed and a lot of families learned what it meant to go without. It wasn't until another 10 years later that someone started snooping around another part of the mountain and found a kingdom's worth of coal waiting to be unraveled. The mines reopened and that many people didn't have to go hungry anymore. From silver to coal, just like that. A good example of how something you never considered before can become your whole focus and blazing new relief all of a sudden. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': I can do this... if you'll help me. If there's any chance you're still available for help. :'''Chris''': If you'll tell me the one person you'd like to have dinner with and why. :'''Bright''': I don't know. :'''Chris''': Think about it. Who's somebody you have questions for? Who do you talk to in your head? :'''Bright''': I... I talk to Colin sometimes. :'''Chris''': What do you say? :'''Bright''': I just... I tell him how much more fun things were when he was here. I tell him I'm a mess, and I've pretty much screwed up all the plans that we ever had. And I wonder what he would do if he was me, 'cause, man, he could handle anything. He was, like, fearless. I... I'd tell him I miss him. :'''Chris''': Good. That's your essay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Oh, my back hurts, my feet hurt, my clothes hurt. Starting tomorrow, I'm giving up fossil fuels. :'''Linda''': Ohh! That was some pretty strong work today, Harry. :'''Dr. Abbott''': Oh, thanks. Didn't do so bad yourself, using your hoodoo powers of suggestion to bamboozle that poor woman out of her pain. :'''Linda''': I am way too tired to take that as anything but a compliment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' When it's going right, life changes minute to minute. On a random Tuesday in 1939, coal unexpectedly became important to the entire town of Everwood. On another day some 75 years later, it was a lighthouse suddenly on everyone's mind. === ''The Burden of Truth'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' There are moments in life so archetypal, that there's only one proper response, one right thing to say. But as humans, each with our own idiosyncrasies, preferences, and perceptions, we may not always have the response that the universe or, say, our parents want or expect us to have. It is at moments such as these that we realize that the truth has a distinct cost that cant be bargained down. And in these moments we must choose whether to pay the price. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Madison''': God, Ephram, you don't even know me. :'''Ephram''': I might not know everything about you, but I do know some things. I know that you're the only person who makes my little sister think it's OK to be a girl. I know how you feel when you sing, cause it's how I feel when I play. I know all you really want from this Jay-guy is for him to get you, and he never will because the only thing he's interested in getting is himself. And, I know that all this stuff about me being too young is just you being afraid... because, it's easier for you to say that I'm too young than to risk something that's not what you thought you wanted. And, most of all, I know that, ever since I kissed you at the D.M.V., every time I've seen you, I've wanted to kiss you again. ''[pause]'' And I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure you did. And, you have to... :''[Ephram advances towards Madison and kisses her]'' :'''Ephram''': Yeah... thought so. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edna''': ''[to Andy]'' You like Linda. Linda likes you. You are both nincompoops who will do nothing about it. === ''Just Like in the Movies'' === :'''Bright''': You have to keep her guessing. :'''Ephram''': And how do I do that? :'''Bright''': By ignoring her. :'''Ephram''': Ignoring her? That's your plan? :'''Bright''': It's perfect. Right now she's expecting you to be all, "sorry for copping a feel." :'''Ephram''': I didn't cop a feel! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Madison's sleeping over tonight! :'''Bright''': That's awesome! All systems go!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': You know, sometimes you're smarter than you look. :'''Madison''': If I get sick, you're in big trouble. :'''Ephram''': Don't worry. I'm not that sick. :'''Madison''': Well then, get out of bed. Get your ass to high school. I never want to say that sentence again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Hey. :'''Linda''': This has to stop. :'''Andy''': So you got the balloons? :'''Linda''': I did, but I don't want them and I don't want the flowers either. Do you understand? :'''Andy''': Not a big fan of presents. Got it. :'''Linda''': No, it's not the presents. It's you Andy. I'm not interested in you. I'm sorry, I was hoping that we didn't have to have this whole conversation, but obviously we do. The thing is, ummm, I'm-I'm not attracted to you and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but I don't want to date you and I don't parse anything romantic happening between us. :'''Andy''': Oh. :'''Linda:''' I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just, I-I didn't know how else to put it. So, it just has to stop, okay? :'''Andy''': Sure. Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tommy''': ''[To Amy]'' Well, I was gonna say that I heard you were the prettiest, most popular girl at County High. But you didn't care about any of that anymore. You chucked your tiara at the door the day your boyfriend died, and you've been wandering the halls alone ever since, looking for something, or someone to fill the void and keep all the sadness away. === ''Unhappy Holidays'' === :'''Ephram''': ''[to Madison]'' You know you said you liked me. You said I made you come 'undone' I am not quite sure what that means exactly but I know it's a good thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[to Harold]'' You think by keeping me a prisoner in my own home that you're gonna save me? From what, Tommy? You don't even know him. As far as I can see, the only person I need to be saved from anymore is you. I hate this house. I hate my school. I hate my friends, and I hate my entire stupid life. You can ground me Dad, and you can yell at me and you do whatever the hell you want, because honestly, I wish I was dead. I don't feel anything anymore. And you wanna know the best part, I don't even care. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': What I want is to be able to have a life, and I wouldn't even mind having to share it with you. But you won't let that happen. You're too busy controlling everything and everyone, that I don't even think you know what you're controlling anymore. What is so wrong with me and Madison? :'''Andy''': Many, many things. :'''Ephram''': No there's not. I know the age thing freaks you out, but there's more to it than that, I can tell. I just can't figure out what it could be. She's great. She's smart. She loves Delia and she even likes you. What is it that you're trying to stop? :'''Andy''': It's just wrong. === ''Family Dynamics'' === :'''Madison''': ''[To Ephram]'' Okay, tell me what's bugging you 'cause no amount of pork can distract a guy from a making out session, especially when there's no chance we get caught. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': I'm not mad at you Dad, I just don't want her to be mad at me. :'''Andy''': Well honey, Linda's not going to be mad at you. :'''Delia''': Not Linda--Mom. :'''Andy''': What about Mom? :'''Delia''': If I like Linda, Mom will know and she'll be mad. :'''Andy''': Why would Mom be mad? :'''Delia''': Because she'll be jealous. You think Linda's beautiful. She's got red hair and she's a doctor, and Mom wasn't like that. :'''Andy''': Honey, there will never be anyone who means as much to me as Mom did. Not anyone. Just like no one could ever take your place or Ephram's. That's the first thing you have to know. :'''Delia''': What's the second? :'''Andy''': The second thing is that Mom would never be mad at you or me or anyone for liking someone else that wasn't her. :'''Delia''': I don't know, she'd be pretty tough. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Delia, when someone we love dies, it's okay to be sad about it for awhile. For as long as you need to be really. But you-you, just can't hang on to all the love that you used to give to that person. :'''Delia''': Why not? :'''Andy''': Because--love's not worth a whole lot if you just keep it to yourself. :'''Madison''': ''[to Ephram]'' Yeah, but here's the thing. You know, you cannot be okay with it and still support his decision. And if you feel like you can talk to him about it, then you should. But if you can't, then talk to me, 'cuz chances are if you're feeling gloomy, I can do stuff to cheer you up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[to Linda]'' I fixed things with Delia, so now all you have to worry about is my grating personality and utter lack of charm. === ''Controlling Interest'' === :'''Ephram''': And the bubble isn't really that safe either, I mean the bubble could pop... the bubble could burn down... someone could rob the bubble. === ''Forget Me Not'' === :'''Ephram''': ''[to Amy, about Tommy]'' So how's Rico Suave? Are you guys sharing needles yet? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[voiceover of her letter to Dr.Abbott]'' Dear Dad: I'm sorry I forgot your birthday. It's not like me to do that. You probably think that's just how I am these days. That missing your birthday is just more proof that I've become a different person, someone who forgets her family for a boy or a fight or whatever it was that got between us. That's the thing, I don't even know anymore. I know I've disappointed you more than you ever thought possible. I never thought it was possible either. And now I feel kinda stuck in this pattern of messing stuff up and I don't know how to fix it. I wish we could make everything like it used to be, but I guess I'm old enough to know we can't. I know you won't believe me but I think about you everyday and no matter how bad things get or how far apart we may seem, you'll always be my dad and I'll always be your Amy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[to Spanish teacher]'' Estamos uh... mucho um... embarazada. :'''Amy''': You just said: We're very pregnant. :'''Ephram''': (To Amy) Well, I'll let you fix this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Why aren't you with Madison? :'''Ephram''': Would you believe we decided our relationship was strong enough that we don't have to spend every waking moment together? :'''Andy''': No. :'''Ephram''': Then I think we're in a fight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': How are you as a cook? :'''Ephram''': About as good as I am at speaking Spanish. === ''No Sure Thing'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' For many years now, this sliver of dust-covered rock has served as a haven for the hope-filled and hormone-driven youth of our town. You won't find it on any map, but everyone knows exactly where it is. We call it The Point. On this uncharted piece of rock, many of Everwood's young people first discovered their capacity for passion, and sometimes for love. For them, the view from The Point will be forever etched in their hearts and minds -- a reminder of one special moment when everything changed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': I know I'm the last person you want advice from right now, but don't be afraid to make sure that everything's right. You're never going to get this moment back. :'''Amy''': I appreciate what you're saying, Dr. Brown, but... I had the right person in my life, and unfortunately, we ran out of time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[about Madison]'' Dude, come on! She is signaling the pitch! :'''Ephram''': Please don't use sports metaphors... I need to understand what you're saying. :'''Bright''': She's achin' for some Brown lovin'. Dish it up and serve it hot my friend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[to Linda]'' Bad things can happen. And if you don't think I know that after losing my wife, you have no business being my friend, much less anything else. I know things can go wrong, which is exactly why I think it's worth the risk if I can feel this way again. So, no. If you want to break up with me you better find a better reason. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[about Madison]'' Are you sleeping with her? ''Answer me!'' :'''Ephram''': No, I'm not sleeping with her. I'm not sleeping with her and I'm gonna be a virgin for the rest of my life, because that's just how my life is! When something is good, it turns bad, and when something's bad it just gets worse. Is that what you wanted to hear? === ''The L Word'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' The speed and direction of our path through life are pretty good measures of our age. We race headlong through childhood, never looking back; wanting it to end as quickly as possible. As we get older, we occasionally slow down long enough to look around and savor certain moments: It's a sure sign of growing up. It's only in our twilight years, when our pace is slowed and the long race is nearing the end that we spend most of our time looking backwards, and we wonder why we were ever in such a hurry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': It's amazing, I, I didn't think things could get any better, or, or I could like her any more, but I do. This is what you were warning me about, huh? You knew I was gonna feel this way. :'''Bright''': Well, I don't think I used the word "feel." I might of used the word "feel up." That's totally different. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ephram kisses Madison]'' :'''Ephram''': I love you. :''[Pause. Madison gives Ephram a gentle, "motherly" kiss]'' :'''Madison''': I gotta go get the iron. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Do you think we can just maybe rewind the last couple days? Just go back completely? :'''Madison''': I don't think it works that way, Ephram. :'''Ephram''': Right, the toothpaste, tube. Forget it. ''[long pause]'' Do you think we could maybe just pretend? For now, at least? :'''Madison''': Yeah, I guess we could do that. :'''Ephram''': Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Sometimes it's easier to pretend that things are okay, rather than face a difficult truth. So we go through the motions, the rituals of everyday life. We hope the comfortable rhythms of familiarity will hold off the inevitable just a little longer; return things to normal, anything to buy us more time. Playing pretend, make believe, it might be the one thing we never outgrow. === ''Unspoken Truths'' === :'''Andy''': I want you to listen to me, Nina. This is the toughest part, this moment. But if you do this right, you won't spend the rest of your life regretting anything or resenting anyone or kicking yourself. I know you want to move on to the next chapter and you will. But I am not about to let you sign on the dotted line and accept whatever standard, minimum crap he is offering. You deserve much more. Do you understand me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': It's you. I know you. :'''Colin''': Stop following me. :'''Amy''': Stop, stop, please. You left me. You left me alone and now you're here and I'm here and you shouldn't be here. :'''Colin''': Neither should you. :'''Amy''': I loved you. I loved you. I want you to come back. :'''Colin''': Stop following me. Just stop. :'''Amy''': Why are you being mean? :'''Colin''': I want you to leave me alone. Won't you understand? I want you to go. :'''Amy''': Go where? Where am I supposed to go? I failed school, Colin. I failed my brother. I failed my parents. I failed you. Where do you want me to go? I don't even know where to start. :'''Colin''': You can start by saying goodbye. :'''Amy''': No. No, I can't. :'''Colin''': Yes you can. :'''Amy''': Goodbye. Goodbye. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[about sunglasses]'' These are cool. I don't know if they do me justice. I mean, they look good, but do they say I'm a genius? :'''Ephram''': No because they don't speak. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[about Ephram and Madison]'' Yeah, having sex with a rock goddess tends to have an effect on a guy. :'''Amy''': They're sleeping together? :'''Bright''': Whad'ya think they were doing this whole time, playing solitaire ''[pause]'' or some other two-person card game? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[to Ephram]'' I have your report card. :'''Delia''': Run for it! === ''Unfinished Business'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Sometimes we don't know our own strength. It can be hard to tell just how much weight you can safely bear, or how much will crush you. I'd like to think you can shoulder as big of burden as you believe you can -- that it's all a matter of will. Certainly a comforting thought. Other times it's hard to remember you had any strength at all. Then you can only hope to have someone to remind you, you were once fierce and able. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mindy''': I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you think. She really digs you, you know. She talks about you all the time. :'''Ephram''': Yeah. :'''Mindy''': You kind of love her, don't you? :'''Ephram''': Yeah. :'''Mindy''': You have that face. I remember when I had the face. Derek Senn. But we called him Demi-God. You know, 'cause he was basically god-like. I met him freshman year, we dated for like six months. It was the most amazing six months of my life. Then he decided he had to bike around South America, so he dropped out. We said goodbye at the airport and I never heard from him again. Pretty much the worst pain I ever felt. :'''Ephram''': Why does everyone feel the need to tell me how awful their first loves were? I mean, what's up with that? :'''Mindy''': I don't know. I guess because they're always so awful... and amazing... and usually over before they start. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Let me just say that I'm sorry. I know that I kind of disappeared for awhile and that I wasn't the best friend in the world, but I want to change that...Try to work on things, you know? :'''Paige''': Wow, you're really desperate, you know? :'''Amy''': OK, maybe I shouldn't have come. :'''Paige''': Or maybe you shouldn't have ditched us in the first place. :'''Amy''': I didn't ditch you Paige. :'''Paige''': One day, we're talking on the phone all the time, and the next, Laynie's your new best friend and you won't even wave to me in the halls. :'''Amy''': Well I didn't see you calling me. I didn't see any of you, pick up the phone or do one kind thing after Colin died. You just wanted me to keep on doing what I always did: plan all the parties, go to the mall, fight for the best dance costume. Well I couldn't, Paige and I thought you would understand that. :'''Paige''': I'm sorry. Were your druggie friends more understanding? :'''Amy''': Just trying to get my life back. :'''Paige''': Well, you can't have it back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tommy''': It's been two days. Didn't you want to make sure I was okay? :'''Amy''': I called the hospital, they said you were released yesterday. :'''Tommy''': So were you going to leave a forwarding address or just going for a clean getaway? :'''Amy''': I'm just going home. :'''Tommy''': It's good. :'''Amy''': Yeah. :'''Tommy''': Mmm, I'll give you a call later, let you get settled in. :'''Amy''': No, don't. :'''Tommy''': Look Amy, I screwed up. I never should have taken you to that party, we should never have done all that crap, but this whole thing has been a serious wake-up call for me. :'''Amy''': I'm glad, I hope you get the help that you need. :'''Tommy''': No Amy, I don't need help, I just...I just need you. :'''Amy''': I can't be that person for you anymore Tommy. :'''Tommy''': It was just a slip, one slip, one night, that's not who I am. :'''Amy''': It wasn't one night, it was three months of lies. :'''Tommy''': So what? I'm not good enough for you anymore? What are you gonna do? Gonna go back to Mommy and Daddy? Gonna go back to being little miss perfect, is that it? No you can't. You won't be able to, not after us. :'''Amy''': I gotta go, take care of yourself, Tommy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': You're sad. :'''Ephram''': A little. :'''Amy''': Something happen? :'''Ephram''': Madison and I broke up. :'''Amy''': What? When? :'''Ephram''': About an hour ago. :'''Amy''': Oh my God, the other day you said that everything was fine I thought... :'''Ephram''': Yeah I know, I lied a little bit. Don't ask me why. :'''Amy''': Why? :'''Ephram''': I don't know. I guess I thought if I pretended that everything was great, actually it would be great. === ''Last Looks'' === :'''Andy''': I'm sorry if I have to put my foot down, but I should have done this six months ago. I knew how this was going to end back then. I told you both. I wish someone had listened to me. :'''Ephram''': What do you mean, "someone"? Did you talk to Madison behind my back? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': It's just that... I love Ephram, too. And, since he's my brother, and we're related and everything, I have to love him more. :'''Madison''': I understand. :'''Delia''': And I think that when you're here, it makes him sad... really, really sad. I don't want to see him that sad any more. So, I'm going, going to have to let you go, Madison. :'''Madison''': Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Madison''': Well maybe in two weeks we could do something, have one of those kick-off friendship lunches, or something. :'''Ephram''': No, no, I, ah, I could never do the "friend thing" with you. Let's face it, we were never really friends. We were just-- :'''Madison''': In love. :'''Ephram''': Yeah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': What's going on here? Delia: Ephram fired Mrs. Hammerhead. :'''Ephram''': Over the phone, this morning. Actually, it went pretty smoothly -- I've had some experience letting sitters go before, you recall... Everybody will be happy. :'''Andy''': I'm not happy. :'''Ephram''': Oh, you will be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': You changed my life Madison. === ''Sick'' === :'''Andy''': Well contrary to proper belief, I am not interested in poaching their patients. You should be ashamed of yourself. In fact, all of you should. All right, come on, everybody out. Let's go. Everybody out. That's it. All of ya. Jumping ship on a good doctor. You outta be ashamed of yourselves. Go on. Out. Store's closed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Linda''': That's what you do, Harold. When someone comes after you, you argue. But when someone comes after someone you love, the minute you see blood, you go for the throat. :'''Harold''': That's what you do for family. You fight, you go too far. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': There's always something good on TV. It's been my motto since I was a little kid; I'm sticking to it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': One thing I do know is whatever is going on in there is going to come out whether you like it or not. So, you might as well just say it on purpose and choose your words. :'''Ephram''': You know, it's amazing how you do that. :'''Amy''': Do what? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[to Amy and Ephram]'' Hmmm... sit here with the bitter twins or free internet porn. Excuse me. ''[Leaves]'' :'''Amy''': Hmm, bitter twins. He's getting funnier. === ''Do or Die'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' There are things that go without saying and there are things better left unsaid. There are things that should never be uttered out loud and there are things you've got to hear to believe. But the ones that stay with us are the things we long to say, but don't. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Bright is trying to convince Amy and Ephram to go with the "Promebago"]'' :'''Bright''': No, you don't get it. My life is about to start to suck. Big time. I'm going to be that weird guy who graduates and never leaves. Like Johnny Richter. :'''Amy''': That guy who works at Sal's? :'''Bright''': See, he doesn't even work there. You just think he does 'cause he hangs out there so much. C'mon, guys. I need this night to be awesome. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': There has to be some way we can enjoy this. :'''Ephram''': Sedated. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': How does he do it? :'''Amy''': What, act like a moron? It comes naturally. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': There's just no point. If Ephram wanted to go with me, he would ask me. :'''Bright''': No he wouldn't. :'''Amy''': Yes he would. :'''Bright''': Do you think he's a glutton for punishment? A total glutton for punishment? You rejected the guy like six-hundred times last year. He's not gonna out on a limb and ask you. Even if he was dying to. === ''Your Future Awaits'' === :'''Amy''': Ephram, go away! :'''Ephram''': No, I'm not going to go away, I don't understand what's going on, why are you crying? :'''Amy''': Do you know how hard that was for me? To lay my heart on the line like that? :'''Ephram''': Yeah, I think I do. :'''Amy''': Maybe it's easy for you but it's not for me. I don't really like feeling this vulnerable. I told you because I trusted you and now I feel like this whole night you've been lying to me. :'''Ephram''': I wasn't lying to you, I wasn't sure if it was true or not. :'''Amy''': Please, if all you cared about is if it were true you could've just asked me. Instead you created this completely false moment. This whole night, how much of it was a manipulation? Dinner, after dinner, were you faking being nervous at the audition? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': I wasn't trying to humiliate you, I was trying to get you to tell me how you feel, why is that so wrong? I've told you a thousand times! :'''Amy''': You told me because you wanted to, not because I tricked you into it, all calculated. :'''Ephram''': How many times have you lied to me? With my dad, with Colin? All last year you knew that I would do anything for you, all you had to do was ask, so you didn't. You would just bat your eyes and cry on my shoulder. You played me! Well tonight I played you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': What? :'''Nina''': Nothing, just... you know how they say 'don't drive angry'? I'm thinking the same thing applies to neurosurgery. === ''The Day Is Done'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' Dreams are our world turned upside down. Gravity, logic, time rendered meaningless. The world of dreams is not our world. Although in the dead of night, it tempts and deceives. This is what makes dreams so dangerous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Dreams aren't meant to be understood any more than tragedy can be averted. Life happens to us. We learn to be grateful when things are good,and to count our blessings when things are bad. And the only certainty in all of it is that it all just... keeps happening. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Okay. See, the thing is my dad is doing this, this, completely crazy thing, right, because it's like why not. He's got nothing to lose at this point and I just keep thinking that maybe it's the same thing with us. You know, we basically had the worst fight that we could possibly have. Right? Did it, done it, it's over. :'''Ephram''': Right. :'''Amy''': So I figure why not just be crazy. Start over like you said. And this summer would be the perfect time to do that because there'd be no pressure, no weirdness because of school. You're clique, my clique. :'''Ephram''': I don't have a clique. :'''Amy''': My clique. But you know what I mean. We'd be able to figure out what we could be without being inside the pressure cooker that is County High. :'''Ephram''': Yeah. I mean, that's a good plan. Except for one small problem. :'''Amy''': Juilliard. Juilliard. I know and I was thinking about it and I realized your dad's a millionaire so what's a few hundred bucks, right? :'''Ephram''': Thousand bucks. :'''Amy''': Same difference. It'd be like as if he enrolled you in a regular summer camp and right before summer, you broke your leg so you couldn't go. So you lose your deposit; happened to me. Look, I know what I'm asking you to do is crazy. Don't think I'm not completely aware of that fact. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Is this supposed to be a sexy picnic? :'''Ephram''': Maybe. Not sure yet. Here, have a seat. :'''Amy''': You look nervous. :'''Ephram''': I-I am nervous. :'''Amy''': Why? :'''Ephram''': Okay, look. I'm pretty sure we've been down this road before, many, many times. In fact, it's kind of crazy how many times we've been down this road without anything actually ever happening on the road. It seemed like something always messes us up. Lately, that something has been me. I feel like I've been given a second chance and I don't want to blow it. I can't stop thinking about what you said about me staying and us really taking a shot. The thing is, I know what would happen if we did that. It would be exactly the way I thought it would be, perfect. You know, I never really worried much about what would happen if we actually got together. Somehow I always knew that part would work itself out. It's just the getting there that seemed so impossible. I could never imagine both of us being on the same page at the same time. :... :'''Ephram''': You're it, Amy. You're the one I want to be with. There's no question about it, there's no holding it back, there's no over-analyzing, it just is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I don't understand. :'''Ephram''': I could not go. I could be the guy that says, you know, screw it, it's all about the girl. But let's face it, I already am that guy. I know how to make you a priority. I've done it. I can do it again. If you ever need me, I'll be there. But right now, I need to worry about making myself a priority. And the only way I can do that is to go to New York. I want you to wait for me. Will you? == Season 3 == === ''For Every Action...'' === :'''Delia''': Dad? :'''Andy''': What? :'''Delia''': Dr. Abbot is outside. :'''Andy''': Now!? What does he want? :'''Delia''': I don't know, but he's wearing slippers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': I still can't believe my dad let you pick me up instead of him. How did you swing that? :'''Amy''': It wasn't that hard actually, we did quite a lot of bonding over the summer. :'''Ephram''': Wha... you bonded with my father?! Why? :'''Amy''': Well he's a lot funnier than you give him credit for and he's the one person in town that didn't mind me talking about you 24/7. :'''Ephram''': This is way too weird to process. I am picturing you and my dad splitting a coke at Mama Joys and it's freaking me out. :'''Amy''': One coke. Two straws. :'''Ephram''': Stop it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[after she sees Ephram]'' Oh my God, he's here how weird is that? It's like we're always in the same place, it's like fate or something. :'''Rose''': Well, it could be that there's only one Main Street in Everwood but fate is nice too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Delia was wearing a dress. :'''Andy''': Yeah, I know. It's weird. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Are you implying that I'm wooden? :'''Andy''': Wooden? You are a 2-by-4! === ''...There is a Reaction'' === :'''Amy''': I just quit yearbook. :'''Ephram''': Damn! I just signed up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Harold! No wait! ''[The sprinklers turn on, Harold looks at Andy]'' I was gonna say... go right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': What's wrong with you? :'''Ephram''': Broke up with Amy. :'''Delia''': Already?! :'''Ephram''': Shut up Delia. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[to Amy]'' You turned your schedule into something the president couldn't even handle! Not that that's saying much... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': ''[To Andy]'' Oh please, if I got upset hearing about every guy who cheated on his wife, I'd have to give up my soaps and you know I'd never do that. === ''Staking Claim'' === :'''Amy''': ''[After Ephram messes up and stops playing]'' You know you'd think that since you practice so much you wouldn't suck so bad. :'''Ephram''': Yeah, well if you didn't study so much you would know that guys don't care if chicks are smart. ''[Amy hits him and Ephram blocks]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': First of all, even if Hannah did have a crush on me... which I don't think she does... she'd be way too terrified to ever do anything about it. ''[Long pause]'' Unlike your friend Katie. :'''Amy''': What did Katie do? :'''Ephram''': She totally grabbed my ass in gym the other day. :'''Amy''': She did what?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': What do you think about Brian Cummings? Do you think he's cute? :'''Ephram''': Well, I should make something clear right off the bat - I don't do threesomes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': When you like someone, you try not to let them know, but when you hate someone you try to be nice so they don't know. But when you love someone... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': I've got to go pick up Delia from Brittany's. Apparently, fifth grade sucks. But she's convinced that some hot chocolate syrup and rocky road will help make it better. === ''The Birds & the Batteries'' === :'''Harold''': You'll never guess who I ran into today. :'''Bright''': [[w:Paris Hilton|Paris Hilton]]. :'''Harold''': Who? No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': What are you guys talking about? :'''Andy''': Cheese! Uh--cake. Cheesecake. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': First of all, her--whosiwhatsit was under her bed. :'''Mrs. Clark''': Is this a joke to you!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': I told you from the start that you should talk to her if she brought it up and instead you said 'cheesecake'! :'''Andy''': It was a reflex! === ''Sacrifice'' === :'''Ephram''': My school work doesn't inspire me. :'''Andy''': Yeah, but if you give it up, I'll kill ya. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': I just thought I could have it all. :'''Andy''': Well, you can't. :'''Ephram''': You wanna think about that some more before you crush my spirit completely? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': Nina, if you have all these different clothes, how come you look the same every day? :'''Nina''': Don't make me cry Delia. I just put on mascara. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': You're scarring me for life! :'''Andy''': Welcome to the club! === ''Shoot the Moon'' === :'''Andy''': Can I bug you? :'''Ephram''': Mission accomplished. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edna''': ''[to Jake]'' By the way, next time you're at the dentist, ease off on the bleaching. Hurts my eyes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[to Andy]'' I'm not scared of what happens if I fail and don't get into Juilliard. I'm scared of what happens if I do. If I go to Juilliard, then... that's it. One thing. Piano. I'll be just like you were before she died. It took Mom dying to wake you up. I don't wanna have to lose something to keep myself from turning into you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[to Amy and parents]'' They're all great schools if you want to be in Boston or New York. There's also a lot of good piano schools in that area. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doctor Harold''': Good to hear it, by the way? :'''Ephram''': What is? :'''Doctor Harold''': Your playing, it is as good as they say. That was an arrangement from Bash motet, wasn't it? :'''Ephram''': Well it is an attempt, at least. My teacher got me taken down the cording structure. He's evil. I didn't know you knew music, do you play? :'''Doctor Harold''': I want it too but as with surgeon, I was born with the ear but not the hands. God has a strange sense of humor. I am his favorite channel. :'''Ephram''': I am working all night on the avocado. Usually it just comes to me but when I get stuck, it can take a while. :'''Doctor Harold''': You are so much like your father. You just described what it is to be gifted and you don’t even know it. The part that you call effortless that would be the life ambition of the less blessed and the part that is a bit more work that is an act that they won’t even be able to follow. :'''Ephram''': Well the experts seem to disagree; I have paperwork from very expensive schools to prove it. :'''Doctor Harold''': Yeah, that’s the technique. But the part that can’t actually be taught, grated or improved. What you have been given is more like the rain, it simply happens nothing can alter its timing or course, you just have to dress for the occasion. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': [Application to Princeton] Tell about yourself in such a way that we will have a good sense of who you are. 500 words. I wish you would have ask me that two years ago, I could have told you exactly who I was, who I would be. Two years ago, I knew it all. The thing is I was right. <p>Thing is, you can never tell when everything you count on may fall apart, no matter how solid the rock. Rocks break, everything changes even when you think you are sure, especially when you are sure. To be fair if I was one of the fates looking down at the best laid plans of dumb little people, I probably see and want to mess with them too. Wanna know about me in 500 words; I get scared sometimes and disappointed, I have doubts, and my life gets in my way, I don’t like change but I know it’s good for me and inevitable so I welcome it the best I can. There is a poem by Johan Frank that says it better than I will “Defy the old dragon, defy fear, the world may rage and quake but I shall remain singing and in perfect peace.” <p>Yeah things happen, things you don’t expect or want or like. The world rages and you become someone, you didn’t know you would ever be … and now you are in your clothes and in your life, this is my future, this is me. This is me, and I want things I never thought I would, I want the possibilities a school like Princeton can offer. A place to grow, meet new people, a place of surprise when life turns out to be nothing like I imagined. And to be grateful for it, in perfect peace. === ''Best Laid Plans'' === :'''Amy''': I'm upset because this whole thing is embarrassing. :'''Edna''': Farting in a public restroom is embarrassing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I guess it's a good thing I stayed on the pill. :'''Ephram''': You are? Since when? :'''Amy''': Last year. For Tommy. :'''Ephram''': You went on the pill for that creep!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': ''[about stopping Amy and Ephram from having sex]'' This is over, isn't it? :'''Andy''': Not necessarily. They're teenagers. There's a chance they may screw up the relationship before they ever get to the sex. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': It's stupid. Boy stuff. :'''Nina''': There is NOTHING stupid about boy stuff. === ''The Tipping Point'' === :'''Andy''': You know what I miss? I miss the subway. :'''Jake''': Ok... random. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': It's snowing. :'''Amanda''': Yep. :'''Andy''': I'm cold. :'''Amanda''': Uh huh. :'''Andy''': My toes are frozen. :'''Amanda''': You live in the mountains, get used to it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': My dad cries every time I beat him at tennis. :'''Ephram''': Really? :'''Amy''': No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[To Amanda]'' Music therapy takes time and patience. But if you think it's not working, just tell me. I'm a big boy. I can handle it. === ''The Reflex'' === :'''Amy''': ''[To Hannah]'' I'll just find a way to bring (sex) up in a casual way.... Psh I can be casual. :''[Next scene]'' :'''Amy''': So why haven't you tried to have sex with me yet? :'''Ephram''': Wha... what do you mean I haven't tried? :'''Amy''': Well, have you? :'''Ephram''': No, I mean I haven't done everything I could do, but it's not like you have given me any indication that you wanted me to. :'''Amy''': How am I supposed to indicate that? :'''Ephram''': Oh I don't know, maybe not flinching every time my hand grazes your belt buckle. :'''Amy''': I don't flinch. :'''Ephram''': Uh, yeah you do. :'''Amy''': No, I don't! :'''Ephram''': Heh, yeah you do. Do you want me to show you right now? 'Cause it's actually pretty funny. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': Did you and Ephram have a good time at the drive in? :'''Amy''': Eh, it was...whatever. :'''Hannah''': How was the movie? :'''Amy''': I don't know. :'''Hannah''': Oh right, you guys were probably... :'''Amy''': No. Not even. We played the how long can we kiss before it gets so unbearably boring that I'd actually rather watch someone get eaten by a giant centipede. :'''Hannah''': Is that a game? :'''Amy''': No Hannah, it's my life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': So Saturday night? 8:00? :'''Ephram''': For sex? 8:00, 9:00, 7:30... :'''Amy''': Good, so you bring the condoms and I'll see if I can score us some of my mom's fried chicken for after. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': It's all about how men and women are made to feel inadequate about their bodies. :'''Hannah''': They should have just named this chapter: Hannah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rose''': Just remember. We were only two years older than they are now when we first... :'''Harold''': Yes. Yes. And God punished us with Bright. === ''Need to Know'' === :'''Andy''': Ok, you're right, I am in a bad mood. :'''Harold''': Really? Forgive my undropped jaw. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': When are you going to accept my Lord? :'''Ephram''': When you stop persecuting my people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': ''[To Amy]'' He loved books. Not the insides, but like the covers, the way they smelled. I just like the insides. He said that that made us a perfect fit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': ''[To Andy]'' If you talk to me in that crappy I'm a doctor voice one more time I'm gonna knee you in the nuts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': They stop because they can't help themselves. It's not like they wanna see a bunch of body parts spewed all over the road, you know. Intellectually speaking they know that would make them hurl. But they stop anyways, because they can, because it's there. :'''Ephram''': So according to this rationale, seeing Madison's band will make me wanna hurl, so that's a reason to go? Interesting theory. === ''Complex Guilt'' === :'''Ephram''': I seriously wish I was the one in that hospital bed right now. :'''Andy''': Because bleeding ulcers are so fun? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': When did you get so smart? :'''Ephram''': I'm a senior, dad. It's about time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[when he sees Jake doing Yoga]'' God, please let this be a hallucination from the drugs. === ''Giving Up the Girl'' === :'''Delia''': At least they (boys) have control over their bodies. Stuff doesn't just happen to them without them letting it happen. :'''Amy''': Well, um, let me put it this way. In a couple years when a boy gets called up to the chalkboard to do a math problem and he brings his textbook with him, just remember this little conversation, okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Ya know, this place is so world-renowned, you'd think they'd be able to afford to decorate. :'''Amy''': Easy there, [[w:Queer Eye|Queer Eye]], it's not a design center. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': I'm totally going into medicine. :'''Amy''': You might have to start by going to college first. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I've wanted to be a ballerina ever since I was a little girl. :'''Harold''': Yeah. And you also wanted to be a princess and an astronaut, and, I believe, a carrot at one point. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': Wow... :'''Jake''': Yeah? :'''Nina''': I mean, damn. You can kiss. === ''The Perfect Day'' === :'''Bright''': Truth is, Ephram, there is a silver lining. You just fail to see it. I think that's part of your problem. :'''Ephram''': Thank you, [[w:Phil McGraw|Dr. Phil]]. :'''Bright''': No, seriously. You came here on your first day and you met Amy. Because you're all wiggy in love with her, it takes your mind off what probably would've been a pretty nightmare year. :'''Ephram''': I was not wiggy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Jealousy is such a pointless emotion, just a complete total waste of energy. :'''Hannah''': Really. So you never feel jealous of Madison? :'''Amy''': That's different. She's an ex. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Isn't fraternizing with a coworker, like, illegal? :'''Bright''': ''[Laughs]'' I don't know what you just said, man, but it's not like we're frat brothers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Well it's a new order of the tracks. If I pick Bach, it says I'm ambitious. If I pick Chopin, it says I'm traditional. :'''Andy''': Which one says you're OCD? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': It's like tragedy's the only thing we have in common. It's practically the reason we're friends. :'''Bright''': So, you know, at least we all found each other. We are friends. :'''Ephram''': But the point is, we got screwed. We're like way older than it says on our driver's licenses. === ''Since You've Been Gone'' === :''[Bright brings Hannah to the porch]'' :'''Hannah''': Are we getting beamed somewhere? :'''Bright''': How cool would that be! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Amy comes down to living room]'' :'''Amy''': You are such an ass. :'''Ephram''': ''[to Bright]'' One of us is in trouble. :'''Amy''': You are completely ruining her [Hannnah's] life, did you know that? :'''Ephram''': Well, that rules me out. === ''Surprise'' === :'''Ephram''': Well, you could be a gigolo. :'''Bright''': Dude, you're forgetting I'm like, twice your size. :'''Ephram''': No, seriously, go pro 'man whore.' Combine all your natural talents. Plus, no tie, flexible hours. :'''Bright''': Maybe I should just join a convent. :'''Ephram''': That's nuns! :'''Bright''': I know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': Wow! Sounds like the plot of a bad indie film. Maybe we could get [[w:Zach Braff|Zach Braff]] to direct it. === ''A Moment in Manhattan'' === :'''Irv''': ''[voiceover]'' People came from far to the mountain towns, I came from the North to find purpose but Doctor came from a city to escape regret. Fate had other plans for both of us. You could argue its better to be neglected by fate than well attended. When it marks you for favor, you can bet your life will change, rarely for the better, though always deeper. The most costly casualty is always the heart; nothing hurts so much as that. Like sacrificing your queen, you can still play, only you can’t help feel that the gain is already lost. But strangely, cruelly, a distraught heart keeps beating no matter how much you wish it would stop. So you take another breath. Another step. You wake again to the unsympathetic sun. You go through the motions, pretending for all the world to be a warm-bloody creature. The doctor and I, we both knew a lot about that, we both came a long way only to find that purpose doesn’t last… And regret can burn a hole through any happiness. And that, just when you think, fate is done kicking you around and maybe its time to hope again. That’s when the real surprises come. :'''Bright''': ''[to Amy, walking in with package from Ephram]'' The guy has been in New York for like 30 minutes and he's already sent you a care package. Will that guy ever run out of ways to be your bitch? === ''Fate Accomplis'' === :'''Madison''': E.C.C. was just starting to feel like a stall. Taking classes didn't really matter. People who didn't want to do much with themselves just wasn't my lifestyle anymore. :'''Ephram''': You outgrew your beer bottle. === ''Fallout'' === :'''Andy''': You have to understand something, honey - that fair doesn't always mean equal. Ephram's older and it's very different. And I promise you that when you become a teenager, you'll get the same exact treatment. :'''Delia''': So I'll get an ugly car too. :'''Andy''': Well, you gotta take the bad with the good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Hannah, if you say 'thank you' or 'sorry' one more time, I think I'm gonna have to kill myself. :'''Hannah''': Sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Problems? :'''Hannah''': Just a little frustrated with God right now. I mean, He talks to [[w:Joan of Arcadia|Joan of Arcadia]], like, five times a week. Tells her to go out for cheerleading. My problem is way bigger, and I can't even get His attention. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': I mean, I could wallow in self pity but what would be the point of that? :'''Nina''': Oh, you don't need a point to wallow, that's the beauty of the wallow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Do you remember saying about him that he loved you of course, that he grow up in Long Island, graduated from Juilliard but didn't like touring so he got into teaching. :'''Ephram''': Do you remember everything I say, because that's a little scary? === ''Acceptance'' === :'''Hannah''': And I'll always be happy to take care of your kids for you when you and Ephram need a little nookie time. :'''Amy''': Hannah! :'''Hannah''': What? I've heard the stories about your grandparents. :'''Amy''': OK, you've officially lost your maid of honor status. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': ''[to Jake]'' Pin an ear back now and then. Do a little lipo. . . . You could buy a Lexus just starting with the chicks I saw last night in a bar. They were actually watching wrestling on TV, swear to God! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': I just think you and Ephram should start off with more of a bang. :'''Amy''': Yes, but we're not technically starting. It's more like, we almost got cancelled and then everyone decided that they loved us, so we got picked up for another season. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': You know what it is? It's that this whole time, you've been thinking about me. Always making sure that I'm okay, no matter what. :'''Ephram''': Is that…is that wrong? :'''Amy''': No, no. It's just that I was always thinking about ''us''. === ''He Who Hesitates'' === :'''Amy''': ''[to Hannah]'' Just enjoy it, okay. Sometimes you forget to appreciate these moments and then suddenly you're back into your normal life trying to remember what it felt like. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Boyfriend? Topher's not Hannah's boyfriend. :'''Ephram''': They've gone on three dates; he took her to prom. What else would you call him? :'''Bright''': Personally, I'd call him an asshat! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': May we please order some food? I'm starving and Bright is threatening to cook. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': You're cooking? :'''Hannah''': Don't worry, you don't have to eat it if it's bad. :'''Bright''': No, it's not that... :'''Hannah''': I had to learn early, you know? I'm just giving you the heads up in case you want to order pizza. :'''Bright''': No, it's just, you've been doing this for your family for like, ever, it just doesn't seem right that you have to do it for mine too. :'''Hannah''': It feels right to me. === ''Oh The Places You'll Go'' === :'''Jake''': It's going to be okay, all right? ''[starts breathing in and out]'' :'''Nina''': Please don't go all yoga on me right now. === ''Where the Heart Is'' === :'''Bright''': ''[to Amy]'' I will smother you with my ass cheeks if I have to! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[to Nina]'' That life I want, I can't have it without you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrold''': May I come in? :'''Andy''': I don't know, are you going to hit me? == Season 4 == === ''A Kiss to Build a Dream On'' === :'''Reid''': It's tough trying to make new best friends after a certain point in your life; it's like, how do you catch them up on everything they already missed? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': You're not the only one in the room [[w:Narcissus (mythology)|Narcissus]]. :'''Bright''': I thought we agreed that you were going to stop insulting me in Spanish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Grandma's wedding doesn't count as a date, loser. :'''Bright''': I'm in a tux! It's a date. :'''Amy''': You're an idiot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Oh my God Bright, you have to let Reid be your new roommate. :'''Bright''': Why? So you can stalk him outside the hospital? :'''Amy''': I am not stalking him, I'm admiring him. Those are two very different verbs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delia''': Am I allowed to wear white? :'''Andy''': Normally no, but in this case I think we can make an exception. :'''Delia''': Interesting. Am I allowed to wear black? :'''Andy''': Not until you're 30. === ''The Next Step'' === :'''Edna''': Three months farting around in Europe and not a tattoo to show for it...that's my boy. :'''Ephram''': Well I was sporting a goatee for a while but that was just to fit in, those people in France have a real thing for body hair. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': I think sometimes that ignoring something gives it too much power... pretty soon all that we can remember is what it is we were trying to forget. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[to Hannah]'' I've never wanted a fourth date... until now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[to Ephram]'' So let me get this straight, you flew half way across the planet to see Irv and my grandma renew their vows? Dude, I almost didn't go because of a ''[[The Smurfs (TV series)|Smurfs]]'' marathon. === ''Put On A Happy Face'' === :'''Ephram''': I love parties. :'''Bright''': Since when? You're a social black hole, all light goes into you and dies. :'''Ephram''': Alright, first of all, it's not certain that light is conscious, so it can't die. :'''Bright''': ''[to Ephram]'' So, you don't go to a party when you have a girlfriend. It's like taking Ben & Jerry's to 31 Flavors. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Hannah, Ephram moved in with Bright and you meant to tell me? That's like [[w:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]], get-on-your-horse-and-ride type information. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': ''[to Bright]'' Look, it's obvious, you're embarrassed because I'm still in high school and I wear bad glasses and I dress like Laura from ''[[w:Little House on the Prairie|Little House on the Prairie]]''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[to Hannah]'' It's a bacchanal. It's in honor of the Greek god, [[w:B. A. Baracus|B.A. Baracus]]. He's the god of beer and chicken and stuff. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': Are all men twelve years old? :'''Andy''': In the inside, yes. === ''Pieces of Me'' === :'''Rose''': But I'm not [[Lance Armstrong]]... :'''Bright''': No. You're better. You're my mom. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Father Patrick''': Hi gentlemen, I am Father Patrick. :'''Bright''': Hi Father, sorry about the hell thing. :'''Father Patrick''': It's not a problem. Have either of you ever thought about... :'''Bright''': Oh, don't waste your breath, Padre. ''[Points at Ephram]'' Jewish. ''[Points at himself]'' Lost cause. Ready to go? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Bright, Ephram and Delia are at the Job Fair]'' :'''Ephram''': Where is Delia? :'''Bright''': ''[looking around]'' I don't know. I bet she's got a job by now. :'''Ephram''': You're supposed to watch her, right? She is just a little kid. You can't let her walk ... :'''Bright''': Sorry! Sometimes I forget how young she is. She's got the [[w:Dakota Fanning|Dakota Fanning]] thing going on, she acts like a 40 year old. She freaks me out. === ''Connect Four'' === :'''Andy''': We are cities boys, the only thing we do agree on is that nature sucks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': So um... what do you mean by not believing in premarital sex? :'''Hannah''': Well, anything with the word 'sex' in it, I'm not comfortable. :'''Bright''': How about the word 'job'? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Why'd you come back to Everwood? :'''Ephram''': ''[exhales]'' I am still in love with Amy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': She's not going to have premarital sex until she's married. :'''Ephram''': That's uh... nevermind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': Do you have the padres with you? :'''Ephram''': No I don't know where they are. They're probably making out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[to Hannah]'' He's learning to save lives... I barely have a life! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': I will more hands off, I won't talk to him, I won't pressure him into doing anything he doesn't wanna do. And if I do have to engage with him, I'll just get in quick and get out quicker. :'''Delia''': This family needs so much help <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doctor Abbot''': So, why exactly are you here? This trip was suppose to be about bounding with your son. Thus far you have spend all of ten minutes with him since we pulled into the parking lot. :'''Doctor Brown''': Not true, we had dinner, I told a joke about the nuns, he laughed, it was great. :'''Doctor Abbot''': Waw, I'm offering you an opportunity for the ultimate father-son experience here, so get up and have your son and start establishing some traditions. :'''Doctor Brown''': We have established traditions, it's called not fighting for 24 hours. And so far, it rocks. === ''Free Fall'' === :'''Nina''': Yeah, but he's a plastic surgeon from L.A. People think Jake is going to make them look like [[w:Jessica Simpson|Jessica Simpson]]. :'''Jake''': Aw, that's sweet of you, babe. :'''Sam''': I like [[w:Linsday Lohan|Linsday Lohan]] better. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[To Andy, referring to the cookies in the kitchen]'' Wow, it looks like you and [[w:Mrs. Fields|Mrs. Fields]] hooked up and threw a rager. === ''Pro Choice'' === :'''Ephram''': ''[about Reid grinding coffee]'' Is there a law against doing that before noon? :'''Reid''': I'm sorry man. My morning coffee's the key to my whole day. It's Kona... and serious. That's why it costs like, 20 bucks a bean. :'''Ephram''': Is that why you can't afford a shirt? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': I know you don't want to have sex because of the Bible, but I was thinking like, I'm not sure that there's anything in there that says you can't take your girlfriend's bra off. :'''Hannah''': Well... it's not about the Bible... it's, it's, it's about timing. It's just not bra removal time. :'''Bright''': Oh yeah... out of curiosity, when exactly would you say would be bra removal time? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Every time you left my garage last summer it was like [[w:Pig-Pen|Pig-Pen]] had just been there. Sometimes when I think about you, I envision this, like, uh, dust cloud over your head. :'''Amy''': I guess that makes you the obsessive Peanut who's always banging away on his piano. :'''Ephram''': Well, chicks love [[w:Schroeder (Peanuts)|Schroeder]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nina''': Jake, I don't care. My best friend lost her husband, Hannah is freaking out, and based on Sam's favorite new word, I'm pretty sure he's been sneaking episodes of ''[[Deadwood (TV series)|Deadwood]]''. === ''So Long, Farewell...'' === :'''Hannah''': I'm serious, Amy. You've got to get out there and meet some new people. :'''Amy''': Yeah, I tried that. And you know what? New people suck! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': My chest hurts and I just want to sleep all the time. :'''Rose''': Here, let me see if you have a fever. ''[feels Bright's head]'' Nope, you don't feel warm to me. :'''Bright''': I feel warm to me. :'''Rose''': That's because you just pulled your head out of the laundry. What you have is a heartache. :'''Bright''': Can't I just have whooping cough or something? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Here's to hurling ourselves out of an airplane. :'''Andy''': Here's to hurling in general! ''[high fives with Harold]'' :'''Harold''': Owww! ''[holding his arm out and wincing]'' :'''Andy''': Problem is you're holding your hand up too high. :'''Harold''': You don't have to slap so hard next time! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': Shall we consult; share our suggested feats of derring-do? :'''Andy''': You go first. :'''Harold''': Alright. Don't be alarmed by the criminal nature of the suggested. After all, it's mealy a misdemeanor…I propose that we shoplift chewing gum from Herb's general store. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': Are you sure I can't interest you in a peanut butter jelly sandwich dipped in cold tomato soup? :'''Amy''': It's the dipping that freaks people out Ephram; why must you dip? === ''Getting to Know You'' === === ''Ghosts'' === :'''Hannah''': ''[answering her cell]'' Hey, Amy. :'''Amy''': Are you sitting down? :'''Hannah''': Yeah, why? :'''Amy''': I need to talk to you. :'''Bright''': ''[answering his cell]'' The boy is back in town, how was New York, man? :'''Ephram''': Fine. I need to ask you something. :'''Hannah''': What's the matter? :'''Ephram''': Say you ran into an old girlfriend. :'''Amy''': Are you sure you're sitting down? :'''Bright''': Don't tell me you saw Madison? :'''Hannah''': ''[to Bright]'' He saw Madison?…! :'''Ephram''': No, not Madison. :'''Amy''': So, I went over to Ephram's last week. :'''Ephram''': And you weren't planning on anything happening… :'''Amy''': And we were just supposed to study… :'''Ephram''': And things got a little heated… :'''Amy''': And there was no one there… :'''Ephram''': And then something kinda… :'''Amy''': And we totally had sex. :'''Hannah''': You and Ephram slept together?!! :'''Bright''': ''[to Hannah]'' What?! No way! :'''Ephram''': "No way" what? :'''Amy''': I've been meaning to tell you. :'''Ephram''': Hello, you there? :'''Amy''': I just felt so weird. :'''Bright''': Dude, did you and my sister get back together? :'''Amy''': And I don't know what it means yet. :'''Ephram''': What? Who told you that? :'''Hannah''': I can't believe this. :'''Bright''': I can't believe you. :'''Hannah''': Bright. This is so…Great. :'''Bright''': …Bad. :'''Ephram''': Have you talked to her? :'''Amy''': And he said he's still in love with me. :'''Ephram''': Did she say we were back together? :'''Amy''': And we haven't spoken since. :'''Hannah''': Okay, listen, come and get me right now. :'''Bright''': Okay, stay where you are. :'''Hannah''': We have to celebrate. :'''Bright''': Time for some serious damage control. :'''Amy''': This is not a celebration, Hannah. :'''Ephram''': I don't need damage control. :'''Amy''': I'll be there in ten. :'''Ephram''': Fine, if you're coming, bring breakfast, and beer. :''[Hannah and Bright both hang up and look at each other]'' :'''Hannah''': Guess that bike ride's gonna have to wait. :'''Bright''': Yeah. :''[They share a kiss and both depart]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Go to your room!! :'''Delia''': I'm going! :'''Andy''': Well...go faster!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Does your sister know you're using her computer? :'''Ephram''': Do I care? :'''Andy''': Have you seen her lately? She'd kick your skinny white ass. === ''Lost and Found'' === :'''Bright''': Aw yeah, B plus. Career high. Who puts the stud in American Studies? Bright Abbott does, ladies and gentlemen. I could do this professionally. :'''Ephram''': You want to be a Historian? :'''Bright''': God, is that what it would make me? Never mind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[To Reid]'' My dad always said that medical school was like the fifth ring of hell... or maybe it was the seventh. I can't remember, I always tuned him out anyway. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nurse''': Well, Edna, you did not have a heart attack. :'''Andy''': Thank God. :'''Edna''': Ah, thank [[w:Atorvastatin|Lipitor]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Laurie''': ''[To Amy]'' I live for students like you. Most kids just want to get an A and go home and watch ''[[Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County|Laguna Beach]]''. A show, by the way, which is scarily instructive about gender roles. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[To Ephram]'' If [[w:Jennifer Aniston|Jennifer]] can get over the [[w:Brad Pitt|Brad]], you can get over my sister. === ''You're a Good Man, Andy Brown'' === :'''Ephram''': So, is everything all right? :'''Kyle''': Have you been watching [[w:Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime]] or something? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[Referring to online dating]'' Look, no one is more depressed about this than I am, but this is how people meet these days. I mean, [[w:Diane Lane|Diane Lane]]'s doing it, how bad can it be? :'''Ephram''': That was a [[w:Must Love Dogs|movie]]. :'''Andy''': Yes, but it was a movie she agreed to do, so she must have found the character plausible. === ''An Ounce of Prevention'' === :'''Ephram''': Don't you have to at least kiss a girl to know that you're gay? :'''Reid''': I don't know. Do you have to kiss a guy to know that you're straight? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': What if he's gay? :'''Ephram''': Isn't he a little young to know if he's gay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': I think you should shut your piehole Bright Abbott before I come over there and shut it for you! :'''Bright''': Bring it on Splotchy! === ''Across the Lines'' === :'''Jake''': Everwood is not going to like this. :'''Andy''': Nope. But it's been kind of quiet around here anyway. It's time to shake things up a bit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jake''': What is this? Some kind of Andy Brown neurosurgeon mind game? :'''Andy''': Yes, I'm going to bring you down by agreeing with you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[to Hanna]'' Wow, you're actually expressing a feeling. And it's negative. Maybe we should throw a party. :'''Bright''': She doesn't like parties. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harold''': ''[after finding Bill and Rose smoking pot]'' I trust you're not driving home in your condition. :'''Bill''': No, I can drive with cancer... ''[laughter from him and Rose]''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rose''': Really Harold, I took one hit. :'''Harold''': Hit, so now you know the lingo. I suppose next you'll be listening to [[Pink Floyd]] over dinner. === ''The Land of Confusion'' === :'''Ada''': Well, you know what they say. If the sex is good it's five percent of the relationship. If the sex is bad, it's ninety five percent. :'''Bright''': Well, what do they say if there's no sex at all? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Kyle just told Ephram that he got the audition at Juilliard]'' :'''Kyle''': Any words of advice? :'''Ephram''': Yeah... don't suck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': You would sell your soul for a toaster? :'''Ephram''': It's a kick-ass toaster. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Does it look like a florist threw up in here to you? === ''Truth...'' === :'''Ephram''': What would you do? Would you have forgiven me? :'''Amy''': Probably not, but you would never have done what Bright did. :'''Ephram''': Yeah true, only because I know you would have come after me with a knife. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[walks into the room as Ephram is playing the piano]'' When are you gonna start playing stuff that I can sing along to? :'''Ephram''': Well, if you can't sing along to [[w:Sergei Rachmaninoff|Rachmaninoff]], then I don't think I can help you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[to adoption agency worker]'' Harold is an extraordinary husband and father. I am constantly going to him for parenting advice. He could be the next [[Phil McGraw|Dr. Phil]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': ''[to Bright]'' Okay, yeah, that doesn't count when you're talking about Ada. That's like having a crush on [[w:Heidi Klum|Heidi Klum]]; you can't get in trouble for that. === ''All The Lonely People'' === :'''Harold''': You're not a bad person, Bright. Your impulses may not always be the best, but they are always honest. You have a good heart. At the end of the day that's all I could ask for. :'''Bright''': So, is that all the stuff mom told you to say? :'''Harold''': No. It is true she has always understood you better than I, always knows what to do. I've been at a loss more times than I care to admit. The fact is I'm a little jealous of you... :'''Bright''': Now I know you're messing with me. :'''Harold''': No, God no, not at all. Your ability to make friends at the drop of a hat: something I've never mastered. You approach life with an ease and natural social grace and I've always been hindered in that department. I've been waiting for a moment like this between the two of us. :'''Bright''': Really? :'''Harold''': I've always hoped that I would have something of use to say when you would need me, I guess. Of course after our camping debacle last fall, I'm thinking that maybe that time has past and you don't need me any more. And I really wanted to give you something, because the fact of the matter is you have taught me a great deal. Taught me how to laugh, take myself less seriously. I admire you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rose''': ''[to Hannah]'' I just started at the art museum over in Colorado Springs. It's very little money involved, but I do get to look at [[Paul Cézanne|Cézanne]] all day, which does wonders for the spirit. === ''Enjoy The Ride'' === :'''Hannah''': ''[to Bright]'' I just really need to figure out how to move on with my life right now... ''[pause]'' without you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Thalia''': I'm talking about that loser, [[w:Ashlee Simpson|Ashlee Simpson]], backing out of my party. :'''Delia''': She did? :'''Thalia''': My mom's getting [[w:Jessica Simpson|Jessica]] now, which is way better anyway. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reid''': I really feel like Dorothy in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' right now. :'''Ephram''': And you wonder why we always think you're gay. === ''Reckoning'' === :'''Andy''': Don't tell me you were just talking to that man there. :'''Ephram''': Yeah, why? Do you know him? :'''Andy''': He's my father. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': ''[Drunk]'' Did you happen to know almost all hookers strip, but nearly no strippers hook? That's not a word, is it? Yeah it is... Hook! Captain Hook! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hannah''': ''[as Bright lies unconscious in the hospital]'' Please don't die. ''[Puts her head down on his bed and starts to cry]'' Please don't die. :'''Bright''': ''[Coming around]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ephram''': You're not working on any plan. I came in here yesterday and you were watching the [[w:Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime channel]]. :'''Bright''': That was all in the spirit of research, my friend, okay? Besides, [[w:Meredith Baxter|Meredith Baxter Birney]]? Total MILF. === ''Goodbye Love'' === :'''Bright''': ''[rapping]'' B Abbott, I'm funny like a rabbit or bunny and I don't have a job, which means I ain't got no money. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': ''[to Ephram]'' So, yeah, I thought about it, but more in the way I thought about marrying [[w:Big Bird|Big Bird]] when I was six. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': ''[to Ephram]'' Are you kidding? Patience is my middle name. I am all about maintaining the zen of my motorcycle, or whatever [[w:Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance|that book]] says. === ''Foreverwood (1)'' === :'''Stephanie''': I had this Physics professor that looked like [[w:Johnny Depp|Johnny Depp]]. Made calculating stuff a lot more interesting. :'''Ephram''': You know, I've been told that I have a Depp-like quality. :'''Stephanie''': You were lied to. === ''Foreverwood (2)'' === :'''Ephram''': I mean, everybody's got that picture in their mind. The one of, you know, how they think their life's supposed to be. :'''Andy''': Well, the thing about the picture is... how do you look in it? It's not about who you're standing next to, or what's in the background... it's are you smiling? Are you happy? Are you good with the choices that you've made? Because if you are, it doesn't matter where you're standing or who you're standing next to... it's... it's a good picture. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rose''': Amy, you haven't moved for over two hours. Are you sick, sweetheart? :'''Amy''': No, I'm stupid. I had the thing, mom. I had the thing that everybody wants and I threw it away. And now Ephram has become Stephram and you can't just walk up to Stephram and be like, Hi, I'm in love with you again. Especially 'cause she's buying him jackets. :'''Rose''': Ok. :'''Amy''': She's worked back from the inside. She has home-court advantage. I thought I could work the old-school angle, but now I'm realizing that I have no angle. All I have is how I feel and I can't even describe how I feel because it's just, it's so... :'''Rose''': Much. :'''Amy''': Yes, exactly. :'''Rose''': You love Ephram. :'''Amy''': Mom, yes. Keep up. :'''Rose''': But why aren't your feelings enough, sweetheart? Considering the history you two have, it could maybe amount to more than a jacket. And if you could express your feelings to Ephram in a slightly less anxiety provoking way than you just expressed them to me, well... :'''Amy''': It won't be enough. Saying the words doesn't even come close to how I feel about him. And besides that, this is Ephram. Grand gesture Ephram. He had his dad perform surgery on my boyfriend while he was in love with me. He wrote my Princeton essay for me. Our first time together. :'''Rose''': I get it. Say no more. :'''Amy''': I just think if I can find a way to show him just how much I love him, that I remember everything and I'm not gonna forget. :'''Rose''': Then you will. You will. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bright''': So you come any closer to making a decision? About school, you know? :'''Hannah''': Ugh. No. It's getting ridiculous since my registrations is due like tomorrow. :'''Bright''': I think you should go to Notre Dame, Hannah. :'''Hannah''': What? :'''Bright''': It's not because I don't love you, I really do love you, but this is... it's the right thing to do. :'''Hannah''': I don't understand. Why... :'''Bright''': I was all ready to tell you to not go to Notre Dame, I had a whole pitch all planned out, and knowing my charm it probably would've worked out. But I was doing it for me. Okay, because I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing you every day, and because part of me was hoping that maybe we could get back together, or something. But I was being selfish. I mean, come on, if there's anything you taught me, when you love someone you gotta put them first. You worked your ass off to go to Notre Dame and you should go. You deserve to go. :'''Hannah''': Yeah, but I... :'''Bright''': The only reason you wouldn't go is cause you're afraid to lose us? Come on, Hannah, that's not gonna happen. Alright, we're always gonna be here. I'm always gonna be here for you. I know I let you down before, I promise that will never ever happen again. :'''Hannah''': Right. :'''Bright''': So it's gonna be me and you, just best friends, for life. :'''Hannah''': For life. :''[They hug]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andy''': Come on, I want to ask you something. :'''Nina''': I don't have any shoes on. :'''Andy''': Doesn't matter, you won't need them. :''[They leave Andy's house and walk to the front of Nina's]'' :'''Andy''': This is where we met. You were pregnant with another man's baby and I was fighting with my son. It wasn't a great beginning but it was our beginning. Anyway, you were working on the yard in this exact spot which I thought was very odd because there was still snow everywhere. :'''Nina''': And I remember. :'''Andy''': The next time I saw you, you invited me into your house. We drank coffee and we talked, and I remember thinking when I left that it wasn't just a coincidence that I ended up buying that house. It was fate. Someone was trying to tell us something. You know how I feel about you, Nina. I'm in love with you. I have been for a long time and I can't imagine anyone else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. So... [He gets the engagement ring]'' I know you've seen it already. :'''Nina''': No, I haven't. I never looked at it, I promise. :'''Andy''': Oh. This makes this part more fun. ''[He gets on his knees]'' Nina Feeney, will you marry me? :'''Nina''': Yes, I will. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ephram runs downstairs and outside, and sees the Ferris wheel, with Amy in front of it. He stops and stares at it]'' :'''Amy''': Don't say anything yet. I wanna go first, and since I brought the Ferris wheel I figured you'd let me. Okay, um. Four years ago, you came to my little town, and you changed my life. I never thought that one person could do that to another, but you did. And from the moment I met you and each moment after that, somehow everything that happened to me, kept coming back to you. I don't know if the Ferris wheel reminds you of anything... :'''Ephram''': Are you kidding me? How could I forget our first Thawfest? It's when you first told me your nickname was Grover. :'''Amy''': I can't believe you remember that. :'''Ephram''': I remember everything about us, Amy. :'''Amy''': Me, too. See, that's the thing. Every time I try to forget the feelings that I have for you, they just... they just keep coming back, and now they're back, and I don't want to push them down anymore. I don't wanna run away from us. Because I never want to lose you again, I just want to be with you, next to you, wherever you are. And I'm sorry that it took me so long to figure it out, I really am, because I hate all the time that we lost and I know it's my fault and I just really hope that you can forgive me. :'''Ephram''': Amy. :'''Amy''': Because I love you, Ephram. I love you. :''[Ephram kisses her]'' :'''Ephram''': Is it my turn yet? Good. Because I love you, too. I knew it then. I know it now. I'll know it always. You're it, Amy. You're my one. :'''Amy''': I am? :'''Ephram''': You always have been. == Cast == * [[w:Treat Williams|Treat Williams]] - Dr. Andrew "Andy" Brown * [[w:Gregory Smith (actor)|Gregory Smith]] - Ephram Brown * [[w:Emily VanCamp|Emily VanCamp]] - Amy Nicole Abbott * [[w:Debra Mooney|Debra Mooney]] - Edna Harper * [[w:John Beasley (actor)|John Beasley]] - Irv Harper * [[w:Vivien Cardone|Vivien Cardone]] - Delia Brown * [[w:Chris Pratt|Chris Pratt]] - Harold Brighton "Bright" Abbott * [[w:Tom Amandes|Tom Amandes]] - Dr. Harold "Hal" Abbott, Jr. * [[w:Stephanie Niznik|Stephanie Niznik]] - Nina Feeney * [[w:Merrilyn Gann|Merrilyn Gann]] - Rose Abbott * [[w:Nora Zehetner|Nora Zehetner]] - Laynie Hart * [[w:Marcia Cross|Marcia Cross]] - Dr. Linda Abbott * [[w:Sarah Lancaster|Sarah Lancaster]] - Madison Kellner * [[w:Anne Heche|Anne Heche]] - Amanda Hayes * [[w:Scott Wolf|Scott Wolf]] - Dr. Jake Hartman * [[w:Sarah Drew|Sarah Drew]] - Hannah Rogers * [[w:Justin Baldoni|Justin Baldoni]] - Reid Bardem == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0318883|title=Everwood}} [[Category:2000s American teen drama TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:WB shows]] qm8r9wnvcf4v7ynjg2mu2el1s18bg0l Fawlty Towers 0 3585 3147765 3141330 2022-07-26T21:10:26Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Fawlty Towers|Fawlty Towers]]''''' (1975&ndash;1979) was a [[w:BBC|BBC]] television [[w:sitcom|sitcom]] about hotel owner Basil Fawlty's incompetence, short fuse, and arrogance that form a combination that ensures accidents and trouble are never far away. :''Written by [[John Cleese]] and [[w:Connie Booth|Connie Booth]].'' == Series 1 == === ''A Touch of Class'' === :''[Classical music is playing in the background.

Well, it's quite simple. When I asked you to build me a wall, I was rather thinking that instead of just dumping the bricks down in a pile, you might find time to cement them together one on top of the other in the traditional fashion. ''[to Melbury]'' Could you fill it in, please? ''[to O'Reilly]'' Oh, splendid! Yes, but when, Mr. O'Reilly? ''[to Melbury]'' There. There. ''[to O'Reilly]'' Yes, but when? Ah, I see: the flu. ''[to Melbury]'' ''Both'' names, please. ''[to O'Reilly]'' Yes, I should have guessed, Mr. O'Reilly; that and the potato famine, I suppose. :'''Melbury''': I beg your pardon? :'''Basil''': Could you put both your names please? ''[to O'Reilly]'' Well, can you give me a date? :'''Melbury''': I only use one. :'''Basil''': You don't have a first name? :'''Melbury''': No. I am ''Lord'' Melbury, so I simply sign "Melbury." :'''Basil''': ''[Now realising that Melbury is of high class]'' ''[to O'Reilly]'' Go away.

Please stay. You'll like it here. :'''Sir Richard''': I've ''never'' been in such a place in my life! ''[They drive away]'' :'''Basil''': ''[yells]'' You ''snobs!'' You stupid, stuck up, toffee-nosed, half-witted, upper class piles of... pus! <hr width="50%"> :'''Mr. Waering''': ''[furious]'' A gin and orange, a lemon squash, and a scotch and water, ''please!'' :'''Basil''': ''[smashing the picture, vexed]'' '''RIGHT'''!!! :''[He frogmarches Mr. Waering to his table to be served.]'' === ''[[w:The Builders (Fawlty Towers)|The Builders]]'' === :'''Sybil''': O'Reilly, I have seen more intelligent creatures than you lying on their backs at the bottoms of ponds. I have seen better-organised creatures than you running round farmyards with their heads cut off! Now collect your things and get out! I never want to see you or any of your men in my hotel again. <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': Ah, hello, Mr. O'Reilly. How are you this morning? Oh, good, good. No rare diseases or anything? Oh, I do beg your pardon: Basil Fawlty, you remember? The poor sod you do jobs for? Well now, how are things your end? Oh, good. Good, good, good. Well now, how would you like to hear about things my end? Oh, well, up to your usual standard I think I can say. A few holes in the floor, the odd door missing; but nothing you can't be sued for. <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': ''[down the phone to O'Reilly]'' ...No, I don't want to debate about it, if you're not over here in twenty minutes with my door I shall come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you. Good day. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sybil''': ''[Seeing Basil walking down the road with a large garden gnome]'' Where are you going, Basil? :'''Basil''': Just going to see O'Reilly, dear! ''[mutters]'' Then I think I'll go to Canada. <hr width="50%"> :'''Manuel''': ''[pretending to talk to someone on the phone]'' Manuel Towers. How are you? Is nice, today. Good! Goodbye. <hr width="50%"> :'''Delivery man''': Where's the boss? :'''Manuel''': ¿Que? :'''Delivery man''': The, the...

What kind of man ARE you!?! Are you going to let her talk to us like that?! :'''O'Reilly''': But she ''did''!! :'''Basil''': No, no, no, she only ''thinks'' she did. But we'll show her! We're not only going to take ''that'' door out and put the other one back, we're going to add ''that'' new door and block that one off as well. We're going to to the BEST day's work you've EVER done, O'Reilly!! <hr width="50%"> :''[Basil has just tripped over Sybil's garden gnome behind the reception desk]'' :'''Basil''': What is this!! What is this doing here?! What is going on here?? :'''Polly''': Your wife ordered it. Call O'Reilly! :'''Basil''': That golfing puff-adder?! What does she want a stupid... ''[begins strangling the gnome]'' :'''Polly''': ''[bangs phone on counter]'' CALL O'REILLY! :'''Basil''': WHAT!?! :'''Polly''': Shall I call him? :'''Basil''': No no I'll do it!

I saw it six times. <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': Always reminds me of somebody machine-gunning a seal. :'''Major Gowen''': The heat? :'''Basil''': No, no. My wife's laugh. <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': ''[about Sybil's laughter]'' Please don't alarm yourself, it's only my wife laughing. I'm afraid her local finishing school was bombed. :'''Mrs. Peignoir''': ''[shocked]'' Oh dear! :'''Basil''': No, no, not really. Just a thought. Well now, what can I get you? :'''Mrs. Peignoir''': Do you have any [[w:Ricard (drink)|Ricard]]? :'''Basil''': ''[confused]'' I'm sorry? :'''Mrs. Peignoir''': Any Ricard? :'''Basil''': ''[unsure what Ricard is, he pretends to check the bar]'' Uh, we're just out of it, I think... === ''The Hotel Inspectors'' === :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': Oh no, come on now, this is quite absurd - sorry, I'm - I do not want the omelet! :'''Manuel''': Is nice! :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': I don't ''want'' the bloody thing, I've sent it back once! :'''Basil''': Here, give it to me. :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': I fail to see how this sort of thing can happen! :'''Basil''': There, I've torn it up. You'll never see it again. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sybil''': Don't shout at me. I've had a difficult morning. :'''Basil''': Oh, dear, what happened? Did you get entangled in the eiderdown again? Not enough cream in your eclair? Hmmm... or did you have to talk to all your friends for so long that you didn't have time to perm your ears? <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': I would find it a little easier to cope with some of the ''cretins'' we get in here, my little nest of vipers, if I got smidgen of co-operation from you. :'''Sybil''': Co-operation? That's a laugh. The day you co-operate, you'll be in a wooden box. I've never heard such rudeness. <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': Spoons, eh? :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': Sorry? :'''Basil''': SP-[[w:Blowing a raspberry|THTHTHTHTH]]-OONS! :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': I beg your pardon? :'''Basil''': I understand you're in the spoon trade. :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': Oh, ''yes.'' Yes. :'''Basil''': Fascinating. How very ''absorbing'' for you. :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': Well... :'''Basil''': So much more interesting than being a ''HOTEL INSPECTOR!!'' :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': Y'What...? <hr width="50%"> :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': There is a documentary on BBC2 this evening about Squawking Bird, the leader of the Blackfoot Indians in the late 1860s. Now this starts at 8.45 and goes on for approximately three-quarters of an hour. :'''Basil''': I'm sorry, are you talking to me? :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': Indeed I am, yes. Now is it possible for me to reserve the BBC2 channel for the duration of this televisual feast? :'''Basil''': Why don't you talk properly? :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': I beg your pardon? :'''Basil''': No it isn't. :'''Mr. Hutchinson''': What? :'''Basil''': It is not possible to reserve the BBC2 channel from the commencement of this televisual feast until the moment of the termination of its ending thereof, thank you so much. === ''Gourmet Night'' === :'''Sybil''': Andre thinks Thursdays are a good idea. :'''Basil''': Thursday? :'''Andre''': Hmm I think so. :'''Basil''': Good!

Not having shrimps tonight, Polly. Now... ''[starts to walk away with the guests]'' :'''Polly''': He's ''soused!'' ''[beat]'' The herrings. :'''Basil''': What are you on about? :'''Polly''': ''[slowly]'' ''He's pickled'' the onions and ''he's smashed'' the eggs in his pot ''[crosses eyes]'' under the table. :'''Basil''': ''[to the guests]'' Excuse me. ''[to Polly]'' Have you been drinking? :'''Polly''': No, not me! :'''Basil''': Then will you behave yourself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Basil''': He's drunk! :'''Sybil''': Drunk? :'''Basil''': ''Drunk! Soused! Potted! Inebriated! Got it?!'' :'''Sybil''': I don't believe it! :'''Basil''': Neither do I. Perhaps it's a dream.

Good. :'''Basil''': No, not her, the nail. They're taking it out tomorrow. :'''Major''': What? :'''Basil''': The nail! They're taking it out tomorrow. :'''Major''': H-How did she get a nail in her? :'''Basil''': No, I thought I told you, Major.

All of them! Bad eggs! :'''Basil''': Well forgive and forget, Major. God knows how, the bastards. Still... <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': ''[calling up the stairs, with Manuel holding onto him]'' Right, ladies and gentlemen, sorry to disturb you. Could I have everyone down here, in the lobby. There is something I think I ought to mention. :''[The guests all gather in the lobby]'' :'''Miss Gatsby''': What is it? :'''Basil''': The point is, can I put it this way... ''[high voice]'' Fire. :'''Miss Gatsby''': ''Fire?'' :'''Basil''': Fire. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fire! :'''Major Gowen''': Fire? :'''Basil''': Fire! Out there. FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! :''[All the guests leave the hotel]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Basil''': Listen, don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it alright. ''[returns to the Germans]'' So! It's all forgotten now, and let's hear no more about it. So, that's two egg mayonnaise, [[w:Joseph Goebbels|a prawn Goebbels]], [[w:Hermann Göring|a Hermann Goering]], and [[w:Colditz Castle|four Colditz salads]]. Wait a moment, I got a bit confused here, sorry. Sorry, I got a bit confused because everyone keeps mentioning the war, so could you... what's the matter? :'''Elder Herr''': It's alright. :'''Basil''': Is there something wrong? :'''Elder Herr''': Will you stop talking about the war? :'''Basil''': ''Me''? You started it! :'''Elder Herr''': We did ''not'' start it! :'''Basil''': Yes you did, [[Invasion of Poland|you invaded Poland!]] <hr width="50%"> :''[Basil is in hospital and a nurse is tending to his injuries]'' :'''Basil''': Don't touch me! I don't know where you've been! :'''Sister''': Yes, yes. We must have our little jokes, mustn't we? :'''Basil''': Yes, we must, mustn't we? My God, you're ugly, aren't you? Mind boggling! :''[The nurse is shocked by Basil's comments] :'''Sybil''': Basil?! :'''Sister''': I-I'll get the doctor. :'''Basil''': You need a plastic surgeon, dear, not a doctor. :'''Sybil''': How dare you talk to Sister like that. Get back into bed! :'''Basil''': You do not seem to realise that I am needed at the hotel! :'''Sybil''': Not they don't. They're managing beautifully without you. :'''Basil''': Polly cannot cope! :'''Sybil''': Well she can't fall over waiters or get her head stuck under desks or start burglar alarms or lock people in burning rooms or fire fire extinguishers straight in her own face but I think the hotel can do without that sort of 'coping' for a couple of days. What do you think Basil, hmm? <hr width=50%> :'''Ms Tibbs''': We don't think you're well, Mr Fawlty. :'''Basil''': Well perhaps not but I'll live longer than you. :'''Ms Gatsby''': You must have hurt yourself! :'''Basil''': My dear woman, a blow on the head like that...is worth two in the bush. <hr width="50%"> :'''Manuel''': ''[hidden behind front desk, with moose head in plain sight]'' How are YOU, sir?

What's wrong with him? :'''Polly''': It's all right, Mrs. Richards. He's from Barcelona. :'''Mrs. Richards''': The manager's from Barcelona? :'''Manuel''': No, no. He's from, er, Swanage. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mrs. Richards''': Now listen to me. I booked a room with a bath. When I book a room with a bath I expect to get a bath. :'''Basil''': ''[confused]'' You've got a bath. :'''Mrs. Richards''': I'm not paying seven pounds twenty pence per night plus V.A.T. for a room without a bath. :'''Basil''': ''[goes into the bathroom]'' There is your bath. :'''Mrs. Richards''': ''[looks at it]'' You call that a bath? It's not big enough to drown a mouse. It's disgraceful... :'''Basil''': ''[sotto]'' Wish you were a mouse, I'd show you... :'''Mrs. Richards''': And another thing: I asked for a room with a view. :'''Basil''': ''[to Manuel]'' Deaf, mad, and blind. ''[goes to the window]'' Ah, this is the view as far as I can remember, madam... yes, yes, this is it. :'''Mrs. Richards''': When I pay for a view, I expect something more interesting than that. :'''Basil''': That is Torquay, madam. :'''Mrs. Richards''': Well it's not good enough. :'''Basil''': Well, may I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically -? :'''Mrs. Richards''': Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea. :'''Basil''': You ''can'' see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky. :'''Mrs. Richards''': I'd need a telescope to see that. :'''Basil''': Well, may I suggest that you consider moving to a hotel closer to the sea? ...or preferably in it. :'''Mrs Richards''': Now listen to me. I am not satisfied, but I've decided to stay. However, I shall expect a reduction. :'''Basil''': Why, because [[w:Krakatoa|Krakatoa]]'s not erupting at the moment, or...? :'''Mrs Richards''': Because the room is cold, the bath is too small, the view is invisible, and the radio doesn't work. :'''Basil''': No, the radio works. ''[sotto]'' You don't. :'''Mrs Richards''': What? :'''Basil''': I'll see if I can fix it ''[sotto]'' you scabby old bat. :''[He turns it on, loudly; it works fine; Manuel plugs his ears]'' :'''Basil''': I think we got something then? :'''Mrs Richards''': What? :'''Basil''': I think we got something then! :'''Mrs Richards''': ''[looking at Manuel with his fingers in his ears]'' What ''are'' you doing? :'''Manuel''': Que!? :''[Basil swats him upside the head]'' :'''Basil''': Madam, don't think me rude, but may I ask, do you by any chance have a hearing aid? :'''Mrs Richards''': A what? :'''Basil''': A HEARING AID! :'''Mrs Richards''': Yes I do have a hearing aid! :'''Basil''': Would you like me to get it mended? :'''Mrs Richards''': Mended?

It's almost worth staying alive for, isn't it? It's nice to share a moment like that, isn't it, dear? It's what marriage is all about.

They did things you can't do in any other medium. Today's cartoons are very conservative and are more like live action. The characters look the same in every frame of the dang cartoon. The old cartoons squashed, stretched, and did crazy expressions. They were imaginative and crazy. A lot of cartoons aren't imaginative, they just say things. It might as well be radio. There is no point in having anything to look at in modern cartoons. But you can't say that about every cartoon. [[w:Genndy Tartakovsky|Genndy Tartakovsky]]'s cartoons are beautiful. The closest thing now to what I'm saying is ''[[w:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob]]'' but even that doesn't go very far. It's like a conservative version of ''Ren & Stimpy''. ** [[John Kricfalusi]] interview (Oct 12, 2004), "[http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/John%20Kricfalusi/ John Kricfalusi, interview]", ''SuicideGirls'', retrieved 2011-03-01 == SpongeBob SquarePants (character) == === Full name === * '''SpongeBob SquarePants''' === Aliases === * '''Mr. SquarePants''' * '''Buddy''' * '''Boy''' * '''Spongy''' === Occupation === * '''Fry cook at the Krusty Krab''' === Alignment === * '''Good''' === Relatives === * '''Margaret SquarePants''' <small>(mother)</small> * '''Herb SquarePants''' <small>(father)</small> * '''Captain Blue''' and '''Sherman SquarePants''' <small>(uncles)</small> * '''Grandma SquarePants''' <small>(grandmother)</small> * '''BlackJack''', '''Stanley''', '''Todd''' and '''Larry SquarePants''' <small>(cousins)</small> * '''Gary''' <small>(pet snail)</small> === Allies === * '''[[w:Patrick Star|Patrick Star]]''' <small>(best friend)</small> * '''[[w:Sandy Cheeks|Sandy Cheeks]]''' <small>(best friend and love interest)</small> * '''[[w:Squidward Tentacles|Squidward Tentacles]]''' * '''[[w:Mr. Krabs|Mr. Krabs]]''' * '''[[w:Mrs. Puff|Mrs. Puff]]''' * '''[[w:Plankton and Karen|Sheldon Plankton]]''' <small>(sometimes)</small> * '''[[w:Plankton and Karen|Karen Plankton]]''' * '''King Neptune''' * '''Princess Mindy''' <small>(close friend)</small> * '''Fred''' * '''Floyd and Lloyd''' * '''[[w:David Hasselhoff|David Hasselhoff]]''' * '''Bubbles''' * '''Sage''' * '''King Poseidon''' === Enemies === * '''[[w:Plankton and Karen|Sheldon Plankton]]''' <small>(archenemy)</small> * '''Burger-Beard the Pirate''' <small>(secondary archenemy)</small> * '''The Cyclops''' * '''Dennis''' * '''El Diablo''' * '''King Poseidon''' <small>(formerly)</small> === Voice === * '''[[Tom Kenny]]''' <small>(1999–present)</small> ==External Links== {{wikipedia}} {{commons category}} * [http://www.nick.com/all_nick/tv_supersites/SpongeBob/bobintro.html?_requestid=197154 Nick.com] &ndash; Official site * [http://www.nick.com.au Nick Australia] &ndash; The Nick Shack * [http://www.en.spongepedia.bimserver.com SpongePedia] &ndash; A SpongeBob Wiki from [[w:Wikia|Wikia]] * [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206512/quotes SpongeBob SquarePants Quotes] on IMDB [[Category:1990s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:1990s American surreal comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American surreal comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American surreal comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American surreal comedy TV shows]] [[Category:1990s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:2000s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:2010s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:SpongeBob SquarePants]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:American TV shows with live action and animation]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about fish]] q2xiggl5gl0j46dypazi51k153mxv9b William J.

United States|Roth v. United States]]'', 354 U.S. 476 (1957). * We consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that '''debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.''' ** Writing for the court, ''[[w:New York Times Co. v. Sullivan|New York Times Co. v. Sullivan]]'', 376 U.S. 254 (1964). * "If the right to privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted government intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or begat a child." ** Writing for the court, ''[[w:Eisenstadt v. Baird|Eisenstadt v. Baird]]'', 405 U.S. 438 (1972). * Our Nation has had a long and unfortunate history of sex discrimination, rationalized by an attitude of 'romantic paternalism' which, in practical effect, put women, not on a pedestal, but in a cage. ** Writing for the court, ''[[w:Frontiero v. Richardson|Frontiero v. Richardson]]'', 411 U.S. 677 (1973). * More fundamentally, however, the answer to petitioners' objection is that '''there can be no impairment of executive power, whether on the state or federal level, where actions pursuant to that power are impermissible under the Constitution. Where there is no power, there can be no impairment of power.''' ** Writing for the court, ''Elrod v. Burns'', 427 U.S. 347, 353 (1976). * The genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems and current needs. ** Speech to the Text and Teaching Symposium at Georgetown University (October 12, 1985). * "The framers discerned fundamental principles.... But our acceptance of the fundamental principles has not and should not bind us to those precise, at times anachronistic, contours. '''We current justices read the Constitution in the only way that we can: as 20th-century Americans'''... The ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time? For the genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems and current needs. What the constitutional fundamentals meant to the wisdom of other times cannot be their measure to the vision of our time. Similarly, what those fundamentals mean for us, our descendants will learn, cannot be their measure to the vision of their time. ** Speech to the Text and Teaching Symposium at Georgetown University (October 12, 1985). * No doubt, there are those who believe that judges-and particularly dissenting judges-write to hear themselves say, as it were, I I I. And no doubt, there are also those who believe that judges are, like Joan Didion, primarily engaged in the writing of fiction. I cannot agree with either of those propositions. ** ''In Defense of Dissents'', 37 Hastings L. J. 427, 428 (1985-1986). * The Constitution was framed fundamentally as a bulwark against governmental power, and preventing the arbitrary administration of punishment is a basic ideal of any society that purports to be governed by the rule of law. ** Dissenting, ''[[w:McCleskey v. Kemp|McCleskey v. Kemp]]'', 481 U.S. 279 (1987). * '''If there is a bedrock principle of the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.''' **[https://www.loc.gov/item/usrep491397/ ''Texas vs. Johnson''], 491 US 397 (1989) * Yet the ultimate problem is more fundamental. I have long believed that the death penalty is in all circumstances a barbaric and inhuman punishment that violates our Constitution. Even the most vile murderer does not release the state from its constitutional obligation to respect human dignity, for the state does not honor the victim by emulating the murderer who took his life. The fatal infirmity of capital punishment is that it treats members of the human race as non-humans, as objects to be toyed with and discarded. ** Writing in ''Reason and Passion: Justice Brennan's Enduring Influence'' (1997). * The machinery chugs on unabated, belching out its dehumanizing product. It is distressing. But I refuse to despair. I know, one day, the Supreme Court will outlaw the death penalty. Permanently. ** Writing in ''Reason and Passion: Justice Brennan's Enduring Influence'' (1997). * If our free society is to endure, and I know it will, those who govern must recognize that the Framers of the Constitution limited their power in order to preserve human dignity and the air of freedom which is our proudest heritage. ** Writing in ''Reason and Passion: Justice Brennan's Enduring Influence'' (1997). ==External links== {{wikipedia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Brennan, William J., Jr}} [[Category:Lawyers from the United States]] [[Category:Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States]] [[Category:Catholics from the United States]] [[Category:1906 births]] [[Category:1997 deaths]] [[Category:People from Newark]] [[Category:Judges]] [[Category:Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients]] [[pt:William J.

Basham]] in ''[[w:The Wonder That was India|The Wonder that was India]]'' (1954) * The ancient civilisation of India differs from those of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, in that its traditions have been preserved without a break down to the present day. Until the advent of the archaeologist, the peasant of Egypt or Iraq had no knowledge of the culture of his forefathers, and it is doubtful whether his Greek counterpart had any but the vaguest ideas about the glory of Periclean Athens. In each case there had been an almost complete break with the past. On the other hand…to this day legends known to the humblest Indian recall the names of shadowy chieftains who lived nearly a thousand years before Christ, and the orthodox Brahman in his daily worship repeats hymns composed even earlier. India and China have, in fact, the oldest continuous cultural traditions in the world. **A.L.Basham in his “The Wonder That Was India” quoted in [https://talageri.blogspot.com/2016/05/hindutva-or-hindu-nationalism.html] [This article is a major extract from the article "Sita Ram Goel, memories and ideas" by S.

This focus on the deeper reality of humanity's oneness with nature and each other is needed to address growing environmental and social problems around the world. The Indian people model the peace, wisdom, love and respect needed to achieve the beautiful, prosperous, sustainable world that all humanity seeks. ** Frank Dixon, Former Director – Research, Innovest Venture Partners. As quoted in "''Environmental Management''", Oxford University Press, 2015. * India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the [[Buddha]], of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all. ** [[Will Durant]], ''The Case for India'' (1931) * It is true that even across the Himalayan barrier India has sent to us such questionable gifts as grammar and logic, philosophy and fables, hypnotism and chess, and above all, our numerals and our decimal system. But these are not the essence of her spirit; they are trifles compared to what we may learn from her in the future. As invention, industry and trade bind the continents together, or as they fling us into conflict with Asia, we shall study its civilizations more closely, and shall absorb, even in enmity, some of its ways and thoughts. Perhaps, in return for conquest, arrogance and spoliation, India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of the mature mind, the quiet content of the unacquisitive soul, the calm of the understanding spirit, and a unifying, pacifying love for all living things. ** [[Will Durant]], Our Oriental Heritage.

Different translation: To the north of the oceans and the south of the Himalayas lies the land of Bharata, inhabited by Bharatis. Visnu Purana, quoted in The Aryan Invasion Theory and Indian Nationalism (1993) by S. Talageri * Swami Vivekananda often spoke of the future greatness of India as surpassing all her glories of the past. ** [[w:Swami Nikhilananda|Swami Nikhilananda]], ''Swami Vivekânanda : A Biography'' (1975); the "vaisya" represent those primarily living at the mercantile levels of human motivation, and the sudra represent the working class, or laborers. *This is the ancient land where wisdom made its home before it went into any other country, the same India whose influx of spirituality is represented, as it were, on the material plane, by rolling rivers like oceans, where the eternal Himalayas, rising tier above tier with their snowcaps, look as it were into the very mysteries of heaven. Here is the same India whose soil has been trodden by the feet of the greatest sages that ever lived. Here first sprang up inquiries into the nature of man and into the internal world. Here first arose the doctrines of the immortality of the soul, the existence of a supervising God, an immanent God in nature and in man, and here the highest ideals of religion and philosophy have attained their culminating points. This is the land from whence, like the tidal waves, spirituality and philosophy have again and again rushed out and deluged the world, and this is the land from whence once more such tides must proceed in order to bring life and vigour into the decaying races of mankind. It is the same India which has withstood the shocks of centuries, of hundreds of foreign invasions of hundreds of upheavals of manners and customs. It is the same land which stands firmer than any rock in the world, with its undying vigour, indestructible life. Its life is of the same nature as the soul, without beginning and without end, immortal; and we are the children of such a country. **Vivekananda, The Future of India, CW vol 3. ===W=== * India is truly a mystery containing all that is the worthiest, most spiritual, and intellectual in humankind and the worst aspects of humankind one could ever hope to find including total lack of concern for others, extreme material poverty, and spiritual bankruptcy and fraud. India is the world in other words with everything in the world revealed both of the highest form and lowest denominator. I love India. I hate India. I cannot ever go to India without returned with strong feelings about it. My later writings would not be the same without my frequent stays in India and the influences that this country has had on my thoughts and feelings. If India did not exist, we would create it just as it is perfect in its imperfection. ** Dr Fred Alan Wolf (Author of Taking the Quantum Leap: The New Physics for Nonscientists). As quoted in "''Indian Ethos and Values in Management''", McGraw Hill India, 2011. *The history of India for many centuries had been happier, less fierce, and more dreamlike than any other history. In these favorable conditions, they built a character meditative and peaceful and a nation of philosophers such as could have existed except nowhere in India. **H.G.

They will not take anything wrongfully, and they yield more than fairness requires.” ** Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang/Yuan Chwang. Quoted from [[Will Durant]], Our Oriental Heritage. *“On examination, we find that the names of India (T’ien-chu) are various and perplexing as to their authority. It was anciently called Shin-tu, also Hien-tau; but now, according to the right pronunciation, it is called In-tu. The people of In-tu call their country by different names according to their district. Each country has diverse customs. Aiming at a general name which is the best sounding, we will call the country In-tu. In Chinese this name signifies the Moon. The moon has many names, of which this is one. For as it is said that all living things ceaselessly revolve in the wheel (of transmigration) through the long night of ignorance, without a guiding star, their case is like (the world), the sun gone down; as then the torch affords its connecting light, though there be the shining of the stars, how different from the bright (cool) moon; just so the bright connected light of holy men and sages, guiding the world as the shining of the moon, have made this country eminent, and so it is called In-tu. ** Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang/Yuan Chwang (Vol. I. 69). quoted in Kishore, Kunal (2016).

A nonenitiy can be just as famous as anybody else if enough people know about him. <br> But let’s leave personalities out of this and just talk about me.''' ** Ch. 1 : Government jobs pay big money * One of the greatest problems today is about the people who would rather be right than be President. I have a solution for that. You can be Left and President: that way you can eat your cake and halve it too. Or you can stay in the middle of the road and get run over. ** Ch. 1 : Government jobs pay big money * '''As we walk hand in hand through the pathways of knowledge, remember that I am giving you freely and without stint the full accumulation of my two months’ experience as a candidate.''' I have on file a complete record of everything I’ve said and done. '''Ever since I threw my hat in the ring I have had myself shadowed, and the results were very entertaining.''' The things that go on in those back rooms, you wouldn’t believe. <br> So now we begin our journey together. If you follow these instructions carefully, you will find that every step of your progress, like the path that climbs up and up from the sheltered valley, offers you an ever-wider and more facinating vista, until at last you come out upon the summit of the wrong hill. ** Ch. 1 : Government jobs pay big money * Presidents are made, not born. That’s a good thing to remember. '''It’s silly to think that Presidents are born, because very few people are 35 years old at birth, and those who are won’t admit it.''' So if you’re only 16 don’t be discouraged, because it’s only a phase and there’s nothing wrong with you that you won’t outgrow. ** Ch. 2 : Others make good, why not you? * Of course, it goes without saying that every candidate must be progressive, fearless, vigorous, and liberal; invincible in victory and invisible in defeat, awake to the needs of the people whether they know what they know what they need or not. You should also come from a good family, because '''while breeding isn’t everything, it is said to be lots of fun.''' [[George Burns]] — that’s ''Mister'' Allen — was saying the other day that to be President of the United States you also have to have brains, integrity, ability and intelligence, but I think he was just trying to talk me into it. ** Ch. 2 : Others make good, why not you? * All the other candidates are making speeches about how much they have done for this country, which is ridiculous. I haven’t done anything yet, and I think it’s just common sense to send me to Washington and make me do my share. ** Ch. 2 : Others make good, why not you? * '''Every politician must be able to keep both feet on the fence with his ear to the ground.''' ** Ch. 2 : Others make good, why not you? * '''Now, I don’t pretend to know all the answers. I’m just a plain, ordinary, everyday genius who loves her fellow-man whenever possible.''' But let me tell you that women are getting very tired of running a poor second to the Forgotten Man, and with all the practice we’ve had around the house the time is ripe for a woman to sweep the country. '''I’ll make a prediction with my eyes open: that a woman can and will be elected if she is qualified and gets enough votes.''' ** Ch. 3 : Why a woman president? Well, why? * You remember me. I’m Gracie Allen. '''I’m the candidate who forgot to take off her hat before she threw it in the ring.''' <br> Furthermore, I’m the only candidate who got the idea of running myself. All the others had to have somebody else think it up for them, or anyway they say the only reason they’re running is because their many friends kept after them and after them until they finally gave in. ** Ch. 4 : How to attract attention and be drafted * '''Try to understand me. Nothing is impossible.''' ** Ch. 4 : How to attract attention and be drafted * I fully realize that every promise I make, the Republicans will double and the Democrats will redouble. They think this will make me vulnerable, but they don’t know I have some tricks up my sleeve, along with a box of raisins to munch on while I’m waiting for the returns to come in. ** Ch. 5 : Issues and how to pick them * A keyhole speech is very simple, especially mine. First it states the issues. An issue is just a difference of opinion, which is why we put erasers on horse races. And '''as I always say, as long as we have issues, we can’t have everything'''. Second, the speech goes on to attack the present administration and show how it has ruined the country. Then it goes on to attack the other candidates and show how they’ll keep it ruined, and generally builds up a warm and friendly atmosphere. ** Ch. 5 : Issues and how to pick them * '''Today millions of people are living who will never do it again. Millions are being born for the first time–and millions are doing nothing because it’s the best offer they’ve had this week.''' … It is for these people and many others that the Surprise Party is conceived and desecrated, founded upon the principle that everybody is just as good as anybody else, even though they aren’t quite so smart. ** Ch. 5 : Issues and how to pick them * '''Let’s all pull together and make these United States the grandest place in this whole country.''' I see a vision. A glorious vision. A united people, marching forward shoulder to shoulder, giving their all for the common good, working while I whistle. ** Ch. 5 : Issues and how to pick them * As a well-known great man would have said if he had thought of it, “'''Don’t go around offending people just because it can be done sitting down.'''” ** Ch. 6 : How not to offend anybody * '''Cultivate friendships. If you don’t have time to cultivate all of them, plow under every fifth one and collect your bonus.''' ** Ch. 6 : How not to offend anybody * When you learn to make everybody happy, you will possess the golden secret of how to milk the contented voters. But do it in such a way that they won’t think you want them to vote for you just because you need the money. <br> ''They'' need the money, and besides, they can think up other reasons if they try. ** Ch. 6 : How not to offend anybody * The masses demand a fighting President, and that means you’ve got to offend somebody, because the way I see it, a strong offense is the best attack. <br> So what can you offend? <br> That’s an easy one. '''Offend the other candidates, because they’ll be too busy talking to hear you, and besides, they might not vote for you anyway.''' ** Ch. 6 : How not to offend anybody * '''A platform is something a candidate stands for and the voters fall for.''' ** Ch. 7 : Buying a good used platform * '''I’m having my platform run up by a movie set designer, so it will be very impressive from the front, but not too premanent.''' After all, there’s no sense putting a lot of time and thought into something you’ll have no use for after you’re elected. ** Ch. 7 : Buying a good used platform * This country needs room to grow and expand. In all my own newspapers I read frightful tales of the shameful atrocities being perpetrated on our Democratic minorities in [[w:Maine|Maine]] and [[Vermont]]. My patience is almost at an end, and if provoked much further I will place both countries under American protection, even if I have to send in my tourists to start trouble so I’ll have to send in a force to restore order. ** Ch. 7 : Buying a good used platform * Social Progress is not one of my goals. This country is not a social climber, and besides, the Treasury knows too many people already, if you know what I mean. <br> '''So vote early and often. Don’t wait until Election Day.''' I may have found other work by then. Do it now! ** Ch. 7 : Buying a good used platform {{disputed begin}} == Disputed == * '''Goodnight, Gracie.''' ** It's commonly believed that at the end of stage shows Allen would reply to [[George Burns]] line "Say goodnight, Gracie", with "Goodnight, Gracie".

Freedoms from the opinion of others... even the opinions of yourself? * As long as cold beer, hot food, rock 'n' roll, and all the other amenities remain expected norm, our conduct of the war will only gain impotence. * I've seen horrors, horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror! Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. * I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile: a pile of little arms. And I remember I...I...I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized, like I was shot — like I was shot with a diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God, the genius of that. The genius! The will to do that: perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men, trained cadres — these men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who have children, who are filled with love — but they had the strength — the strength! — to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgement. Without judgement! Because it's judgement that defeats us. * We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene! * I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be.

And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine. * ''The Horror, the horror * ''[voiceover]'' It's a way we had over here with living with ourselves. We cut 'em in half with a machine gun and give 'em a Band-Aid. It was a lie. And the more I saw them, the more I hated lies. * ''[voiceover]'' Oh man... the bullshit piled up so fast in Vietnam, you needed wings to stay above it. * ''[reading a letter Kurtz has sent to his son]''<br>Dear son,<br>I'm afraid that both you and your mother will have been worried at not hearing from me during the past weeks, but my situation here has become a difficult one. I've been officially accused of murder by the Army. The alleged victims were four Vietnamese double agents. We spent months uncovering them and accumulating evidence. When absolute proof was completed, we acted. We acted like soldiers. The charges are unjustified. They are in fact, and in the circumstances of this conflict, quite completely insane. In a war, there are many moments for compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action — what is often called ruthless, what may in many circumstances be only clarity — seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it directly, quickly, awake, looking at it. I will trust you to tell your mother what you choose about this letter. As for the charges against me, I am unconcerned. I am beyond their timid, lying morality, and so I am beyond caring.<br>You have all my faith.<br>Your loving father." * 'Never get out of the boat.' Absolutely goddamn right! Unless you were goin' all the way... Kurtz got off the boat. He split from the whole fuckin' program. * Part of me was afraid of what I would find and what I would do when I got there. I knew the risks, or imagined I knew. But the thing I felt the most, much stronger than fear, was the desire to confront him. * ''[voiceover]'' They were gonna make me a major for this, and I wasn't even in their fuckin' army anymore. Everybody wanted me to do it, him most of all. I felt like he was up there, waiting for me to take the pain away. He just wanted to go out like a soldier, standing up, not like some poor, wasted, rag-assed renegade. Even the jungle wanted him dead, and that's who he really took his orders from anyway. * ''[voiceover]'' Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another. == Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore == [[File:Napalm.jpg|thumb|right|I love the smell of napalm in the morning.]] * You smell that?

Freedoms from the opinion of others... even the opinions of yourself? * As long as cold beer, hot food, rock 'n' roll, and all the other amenities remain expected norm, our conduct of the war will only gain impotence. * I've seen horrors, horrors that you've seen.

We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile: a pile of little arms. And I remember I...I...I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized, like I was shot — like I was shot with a diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God, the genius of that. The genius! The will to do that: perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men, trained cadres — these men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who have children, who are filled with love — but they had the strength — the strength! — to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgement. Without judgement! Because it's judgement that defeats us. * We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene! * I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything &ndash; everything I did, everything you saw &ndash; because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me, Willard, you will do this for me.? * The horror! The horror!

The ceiling breaks away, revealing a vortex, which sucks up Foop. Poof is then sucked out of Cosmo and Wanda's arms into the vortex. The vortex then disappears.) '''Wanda:''' (crying) Oh no! My baby! '''Cosmo:''' (crying) Timmy! What have you done! '''Timmy:''' I'm so sorry! I don't know how, but I'll make this right! (The blue fairy council member bangs his gavel, and Cosmo and Wanda disappear) No! Where'd they go? '''Jorgen:''' Cosmo and Wanda have been sent back to Fairy World, where, thanks to you, they will have no memory of their baby! '''Foop:''' "You said...WHAT!" (Looks back at Timmy and says in a tiny voice,) "Please save me!" '''Blue Fairy Council member:''' And now it is time to undo your secret wish. Bring in Father Time.

'''Blue Fairy Council Member:''' Hes been doing that same joke for thousands of years. '''Father Time:''' So this is the kid who made the secret wish. YOU DON'T GET A WATCH MISTER.

'''Blue Fairy Council Member:''' And you will have no memory of your fairies or of this council. (Father Time flicks the minute hand on the big watch forward.

'''Blue Fairy Council Member:''' Timmy turner. We have no doubt you acted heroically in saving your friends and foop. However you are still guilty of the ultimate violation in fairy law: Making a secret wish. '''Timmy:''' Look Im sorry. I didn't make that wish to have magical fairies forever. I made it so that I could have Cosmo, Wanda and Poof forever because I can't imagine life without them. I don't care if I never get to make another wish just please don't take them away from me.

It consists of the ''Mishnah'', a record of oral traditions, and the ''Gemara'', which comments upon, interprets and applies these oral traditions. A section of the Mishnah is followed by the Gemara on that section. There are two distinct Gemaras: the Yerushalmi and the Bavli, and two corresponding Talmuds: Talmud Yerushalmi (Jerusalem Talmud) and the Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud); The word "Talmud", when used without qualification, usually refers to the Babylonian Talmud. Neither Gemara is complete. ''See also:'' [[Pirkei Avot]], a section of the Mishnah. == Quotes == * Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world. ** Mishnah [[w:Sanhedrin (tractate)|Sanhedrin]] 4:5; ''Yerushalmi Talmud'' [http://www.mechon-mamre.org/b/r/r4604.htm 4:9], Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 37a. ** Variant: Whoever destroys a single life is considered by Scripture to have destroyed the whole world, and whoever saves a single life is considered by Scripture to have saved the whole world. ** Quoted in ''Schindler's List'' as "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." **Quoted Qurʼan Chapter (5) sūrat l-māidah (The Table spread with Food) ''Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely''. ** Parma Italy, mid-13th century codex; as cited in [https://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/2016/10/the-origins-of-the-precept-whoever-saves-a-life-saves-the-world/ "The Origins of the Precept "Whoever Saves a Life Saves the World""], Philologos, ''Mosaic Magazine'', Oct, 21 2016. * A man should endeavor to be as pliant as a reed, and never unyielding like the cedar. ** [[w:Ta'anit (Talmud)|Taanit]] 20b:33. * The servant of a king is like a king. ** [https://www.sefaria.org/Shevuot.47b.6 Shevuot 47b.] ===Bava Metzia=== * Let every man divide his money into three parts, and invest a third in land, a third in business, and a third let him keep by him in reserve. ** [[w:Bava Metzia|Bava Metzia]] 42a. * One may decline the request of a lesser person, but one may not decline the request of a great person. ** [https://www.sefaria.org/Bava_Metzia.87a.1 Bava Metzia 87a.] ===other Bavas=== * A legal decision depends not on the teacher's age, but on the force of his argument. ** {{w|Bava Batra}} 142b. * If your friend calls you a donkey, prepare a saddle for your back. ** [https://www.sefaria.org/Bava_Kamma.92b.5 Bava Kamma 92b.] ===Shabat=== * Teach me the whole Torah while I stand on one foot. ** [[w:Shabbat (Talmud)|Shabat]] 30a *What is hateful to thee, do not unto thy fellow; this is the whole law.

This learned man has successfully demonstrated that the Chaldean Magic, the science of Moses and other learned thaumaturgists was wholly based on an extensive knowledge of the various and now forgotten branches of natural science. Thoroughly acquainted with all the resources of the vegetable, animal, and mineral kingdoms, experts in occult chemistry and physics, psychologists as well as physiologists, why wonder that the graduates or adepts instructed in the mysterious sanctuaries of the temples, could perform wonders, which even in our days of enlightenment would appear supernatural? It is an insult to human nature to brand magic and the occult science with the name of imposture. To believe that for so many thousands of years, one-half of mankind practiced deception and fraud on the other half, is equivalent to saying that the human race was composed only of knaves and incurable idiots. Where is the country in which magic was not practised? At what age was it wholly forgotten? p. 19 **[[H. P.

Now I think the time has come for you to think about the possibility of another partner. :'''Dan''': I'm not going to do the show with your high school driving instructor, J.J., if that’s what you’re asking me. :'''J.J.''': Look, Dan, you've got a bright future at this network, and— :'''Dan''': My future is writing and anchoring a sports program, with my partner, Casey McCall. Now, if it's here, it's here. If it's not, it's someplace else. For right now, I'm gonna forget this conversation ever took place. Dana, Isaac, you guys need anything? :'''Dana''': No Dan, you're done here, thanks. :'''Isaac''': I really got to admire the way you manhandled my staff this morning, J.J. :'''J.J.''': Look... :'''Isaac''': No! Don't take '''me''' on. :'''J.J.''': The network's not going to wait forever. :'''Isaac''': It's your call Dana, but pretty soon it's going to be my call. Cause here's the thing: I can't let it be '''their''' call. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Casey''': You wanna do something tonight after the show? :'''Dan''': Yeah, y'know, I was gonna hop a ride on the Staten Island Ferry for awhile, eat a hotdog. You wanna come? :'''Casey''': Yeah, absolutely, and I'll tell you why. Cause it's seventeen degrees outside with the wind chill so what I want to do is stand on a boat in the middle of New York harbor at half-past midnight. :'''Dan''': You have a better idea? :'''Casey''': Well, we could go to a bar, find some people we don't like and beat the crap out of them. === ''The Apology'' [1.02] === :'''Dana''': Hey, look everybody. It's two sports anchors, and that's a good break for us, because we're about to do a sports show. :'''Casey''': Sarcasm, thy name is Dana. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': I have a younger brother named Sam. Sam's a genius. I mean, literally. As a kid, he tested off the charts. The first computer I ever had, he built from a kit he bought with money he earned tutoring other kids in math. He's energetic and articulate, curious and funny. A great source of pride to our parents. And there's no doubt that he'd be living a great life right now, except for that he's dead. Because when you're fourteen years old, all you ever really wanna be when you grow up is your sixteen-year-old brother. And in my case, that meant smoking a lot of dope. The day I went off to college was the day that Sam got his driver's license. And he celebrated by taking a drive with some of his friends. Drunk and high as a paper kite. He never saw the red light that he ran. And he probably never saw the eighteen-wheel truck that put him into the side of a brick bank, either. That was eleven years ago tonight. And I just wanted to say I'm sorry, Sam. You deserved better in my hands. And I apologize. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Casey''': You should try making it shorter. :'''Jeremy''': What's the key? :'''Casey''': In this case? :'''Jeremy''': Yeah. :'''Casey''': Making it a lot shorter. :'''Jeremy''': I can't imagine what i'd cut. :'''Casey''': Well, you start off with Cedric, the leadoff batter, at the top of the first inning, despite the fact that nobody scored until the 5th inning. :'''Jeremy''': There's action beyond scoring. :'''Casey''': Yeah, but Cedric grounded out to the short stop and was thrown out at first by quite a large margin. :'''Jeremy''': Yeah. :'''Casey''': Well, that is what is called a routine ground ball. In your search for things that are newsworthy, let the word 'routine' serve as a danger sign. ===''The Hungry and the Hunted'' [1.03]=== :'''Isaac''': It's taken me a lot of years, but I've come around to this: If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. And if you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you. I'm an awfully smart man, and Mike Sabath is an idiot. He had you, and he blew it. You're gonna do great here, but you've gotta trust us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeremy''': We shot a deer. In the woods near Lake Mattatuck on the second day. There was a special vest they had me wear so that they could distinguish me from things they wanted to shoot, and I was pretty grateful for that. Almost the whole day had gone by, and we hadn't gotten anything. Eddie was getting frustrated and Bob Shoemaker was getting embarrassed. My camera guy needed to re-load so I told everybody to take a ten minute break. There was a stream nearby and I walked over with this care-package Natalie made me. I sat down and when I looked up I saw three of them; small, bigger, biggest. Recognizable to any species on the face of the planet as a child, a mother and a father. Now, the trick in shooting deer is you gotta get 'em out in the open. And it's tough with deer, 'cause these are clever, cagey animals with an intuitive sense of danger. You know what you have to do to get a deer out in the open? You hold out a twinkie. That animal clopped up to me like we were at a party. She seemed to be pretty interested in the twinkie, so I gave it to her. Looking back, she'd have been better off if I'd given her the damn vest. And Bob kind of screamed at me in whisper, "Move away!" The camera had been re-loaded and it looked like the day wasn't gonna be a washout after all. So I backed away, a couple of steps at a time, and I closed my eyes when I heard the shot. Look, I know these are animals, and they don't play bridge and go to the prom, but you can't tell me that the little one didn't know who his mother was. That's gotta mean something. And later, at the hospital, Bob Shoemaker was telling me about the nobility and tradition of hunting and how it related to the native American Indians. And I nodded and I said that was interesting while I was thinking about what a load of crap it was. Hunting was part of Indian culture. It was food and it was clothes and it was shelter. They sang and danced and offered prayers to the gods for a successful hunt so that they could survive just one more unimaginably brutal winter. The things they had to kill held the highest place of respect for them, and to kill for fun was a sin. And they knew the gods wouldn't be so generous next time. What we did wasn't food and it wasn't shelter and it sure wasn't sports! It was just mean! ===''Intellectual Property'' [1.04]=== :'''Mallory''': Listen, I think it's sweet that you and your partner sing to each other on television. Others may think it’s vaguely gay, but I disagree. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dana''': You have good ideas a lot. I find myself saying, "Natalie's got a good idea." :'''Natalie''': But you also find yourself saying, "Natalie, if you screw that up again I'll set you on fire." :'''Dana''': When was the last time you had a good idea? :'''Natalie''': This morning, I decided not to stick my hand in the blender. :'''Dana''': That's what I'm talking about. ===''Mary Pat Shelby'' [1.05]=== :'''Dana''': How much do you love me? :'''Dan''': I want to grow a goatee. :'''Dana''': Very, very bad idea. How much do you love me? :'''Dan''': I think it would look good. :'''Dana''': I think you would look like Colonel Sanders. How much do you love me? :'''Dan''': A little less than I did before the Colonel Sanders thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bill''': This is a third place show on a fourth rate network. :'''Dan''': Yeah, but that's all gonna change once I grow a goatee. :'''Casey''': He's just crazy enough to do it. ===''The Head Coach, Dinner and the Morning Mail'' [1.06]=== :'''Jeremy''': This is professional television. Surely there's some kind of strict procedure that's followed when something like this happens. :'''Dana''': Absolutely. :'''Jeremy''': What is it? :'''Dana''': Well first, everyone stand up and see if you're sitting on it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Casey''': I am a commentator, I am a pundit, I am doing my job. :'''Dan''': You're a pundit? :'''Casey''': I am. :'''Dan''': Well, your parents must be very proud. :'''Casey''': They are. ===''Dear Louise'' [1.07]=== :'''Elliot''': How's the writer's block? :'''Dan''': You're gonna need to get someone to fix my computer. :'''Kim''': What's wrong with it? :'''Dan''': It's in several pieces on my floor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': If you wear something blue you get two dollars off a giant blue margarita. :'''Casey''': You know I make a pretty good living. I can actually afford to wear what I want and pay full price. :'''Dan''': I'm not promoting the economic upside as much as I am the opportunity to drink something giant and blue. ===''Thespis'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': So you say a few words. You make a gesture. You remember an important date. A small price to pay for what you get in return. For what you get in return, it's a steal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dana''': I've named this Thanksgiving. I'm calling it "The Thanksgiving of Mom's Disapproval." Included on the two-record set are the hit songs "Why Aren't You Married?" and "Sports Is No Place For An Educated Woman," and "Didn't Anyone Ever Tell You How To Cook a Turkey?" ===''The Quality of Mercy at 29K'' [1.09]=== :'''Dan''': A couple of months ago I wrote a check to someone. Now I'm in the middle of Dickensian London. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Natalie''': Two guys have ascended five miles into the sky. They walked up a wall of ice, and are preparing to knock on the door of Heaven itself. There's really no end to what we can do. You know what the trick is? :'''Dan''': What? :'''Natalie''': Get in the game. ===''Shoe Money Tonight'' [1.10]=== :'''Jeremy''': Look at me. I'm not lying to you. I have a straight. :'''Natalie''': How do you know I don't have a big house? :'''Jeremy''': A FULL house. Dan already folded the six you needed, and I have the other one. You don't have a house of any sort, you don't have a pup tent. You've got trip sevens, and I have a straight. I want you to trust me right now. I want you to say to yourself, yeah, I've dated a string of jerks in my life, they were stupid, they were mean to me, but maybe this one's different. Maybe I should take a chance and not adopt the break-up-with-him-before-he-breaks-my-heart strategy. I want you to remember that when I started liking you, I didn't stop liking tennis. And I want you to know that I don't think there's a woman in the world that you need to be threatened by, no matter how glamorous you think she is. But mostly, I want you to trust me, just once, when I tell you you have three sevens, and I have a straight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sally''': Anyway, I really appreciate the two of you sticking around and filling in. :'''Casey''': It's no problem. :'''Sally''': Oh, please, you think I wanna be stuck doing the two a.m.? This is just a temp gig. :'''Casey''': Temp gig? :'''Dan''': Temporary gig. :'''Casey''': Thanks. :'''Sally''': My stuff's out there. I talk to a lot of people. :'''Dan''': Just as long as none of them are talkin' back. :'''Sally''': CNBC, MSNBC&mdash; :'''Dan''': M-O-U-S-E... :'''Casey''': Danny&mdash; :'''Dan''': Oh, like she's listening to anybody but herself. ===''The Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee'' [1.11]=== :'''Isaac''': Danny, I need to talk to you. :'''Dan''': Good, 'cause I need to talk to you too. Who should go first? :'''Isaac''': Since I don't really care what you have to say, I think it should be me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isaac''': Exaudio, comperio, conloquor. That's a Latin phrase that translates "To listen, to learn, to speak." Those words are carved into the stone arches that form the entrance to the undergraduate library at Tennessee Western University. This afternoon, an extraordinary young man named Roland Shepard made what had to have been an excruciating decision. He said he wasn't playing football under a Confederate flag. Six of his teammates then chose not to let Shepard stand alone. And I choose to join them at this moment. In the history of the South, there's much to celebrate. And that flag is a desecration of all of it. It's a banner of hatred and separation. It's a banner of ignorance and violence and a war that pitted brother against brother, and to ask young black men and women, young Jewish men and women, Asians, Native Americans, to ask ''Americans'' to walk beneath its shadow is a humiliation of irreducible proportions. And we all know it. Tennessee Western has produced some outstanding alumni in the past hundred years. People of wisdom and vision. Strength and compassion. One of them is Luther Sachs. Luther Sachs owns Continental Corp. Which owns the Continental Sports Channel, which you're watching right now. Luther Sachs is a generous alumni contributor to Tennessee Western, with a considerable influence over its chancellor, Davis Blake, and its board of trustees. Luther, you've got a phone call to make. You've go to call Chancellor Blake, and tell him to take down that flag, or he can stop looking for your checks in the mail. You've got to put these young men back in a classroom. And I mean pronto. These boys are gonna make you proud one day, Luther. I challenge you to do the right thing. Not an unreasonable request to make of a man whose alma mater declares, "Exaudio, comperio, conloquor." "To listen, to learn, to speak." In the meantime, God go with you, Roland Shepard, and you six Southern gentlemen of Tennessee. God's not done with any of you, yet. ===''Smoky'' [1.12]=== :'''Sally''': As we speak, one of your LC-Wire frames is misprocessing data while two of your associate producers stand over the monitor attempting to have phone sex. :'''Isaac''': Please don't tell me which two. :'''Sally''': Just think about it. :'''Isaac''': All right, my guess is, it's Jeremy and Natalie. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isaac''': May I add, Dana, that things I say in my office ''stay'' in my office. :'''Dana''': Natalie's my second-in-command, she's the only one I told. :'''Natalie''': Jeremy's my boyfriend, he's the only one I told. :'''Jeremy''': I told many, many people. ===''Small Town'' [1.13]=== :'''Dana''': You think at a certain point during the evening you'll say something wonderful to me and I'll melt and that'll teach me for going out with Gordon instead of you. :'''Casey''': I'll settle for you spilling something on yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Natalie''': You want to leave the room? :'''Jeremy''': No! :'''Natalie''': Then allow for the possibility that from time to time other people might be at least as smart as you are. ===''Rebecca'' [1.14]=== :'''Dan''': So, I'm gonna try telling you this story one more time. :'''Casey''': Can I just make a suggestion? :'''Dan''': Sure. :'''Casey''': What if, instead of you telling me this story again right this second, you never tell me this story ever? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dana''': Wow. :'''Casey''': Wow what? :'''Dana''': Those cars are going fast. :'''Casey''': Yeah, they're going as fast as they can because the first one across the finish line gets a trophy and a check. :'''Dana''': Like a race? :'''Casey''': Right. ===''Dana and the Deep Blue Sea'' [1.15]=== :'''Casey''': "A neighborhood park all covered with cheese"? :'''Dan''': I said cheese? :'''Casey''': You said cheese. :'''Dan''': Dana, did I say "park all covered with cheese"? :'''Dana''': There's a consensus, yes. :'''Dan''': What are you lookin' at? :'''Casey''': I'm here for you, man. :'''Dan''': Let me fix it when we come back. :'''Dana''': Fix it when we get back. :'''Casey''': Are we sure it's wrong? Are we sure the park ''isn't'' all covered with cheese? :'''Dan''': It's covered with trees; now shut up. :'''Casey''': I was just about to change my mind and recommend you. :'''Dan''': Really? :'''Casey''': No. :'''Dan''': Dana, Casey's being mean to me. :'''Dana''': Casey, be nice to Dan. :'''Casey''': "Sophomore sensation credits her agility and quick first steps to her father, who used to take her to a neighborhood park all covered with cheese." Dana, we got all kinds of sentence construction here. I think he's gonna have to explain that it's the park that's covered with cheese and not the father. :'''Dan''': This is an unforgiving room. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Casey''': I gather it went well. :'''Dan''': You know sometimes it's worth it, taking all the pies in the face. Sometimes you come through it feeling good. :'''Casey''': Yes. :'''Dan''': And how was your day? :'''Casey''': Sometimes you just stand there, hip deep in pie. ===''Sally'' [1.16]=== :'''Dan''': You're nineteen feet tall. Why are you wearing heels? :'''Sally''': Are you feeling diminutive? :'''Dan''': No, but now I have to go look up that word. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeremy''': Number two, I'm Jewish. And her family is, you know, incredibly not. Which isn't by the way any sort of a problem for me but I do think it might be a problem for them. Because after all there are those who think I killed their Lord Jesus Christ. Not me directly, mind you. I didn't drive the getaway car or anything. ===''How are Things in Glocca Morra?'' [1.17]=== :'''Dan''': Casey. :'''Casey''': I'll tell you what the problem is here. :'''Dan''': No provolone cheese? :'''Casey''': No provolone. :'''Dan''': You're saying you don't want to talk about it. :'''Casey''': I'm saying I'd like, just once, for there to be provolone. :'''Dan''': Is this one of those times when you say you don't want to talk about it, but you really do? :'''Casey''': No, but it's shaping up to be one of those times when I say I don't want to talk about it but we end up talking about it anyway. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': Hey Sally, you must've slept with this guy Fedrigotti. How long you think he can keep at this? :'''Sally''': I was just thinking, it's been such a long time since Dan said something charming to me, and then there it was. ===''The Sword of Orion'' [1.18]=== :'''Dan''': Did Orlando Rojas pitch this afternoon? :'''Casey''': I do not know. :'''Dan''': You don't know? :'''Casey''': I do not. :'''Dan''': Natalie, did Orlando Rojas pitch this afternoon? :'''Natalie''': That's a good question. :'''Dan''': Thank you very much. Did he pitch this afternoon? :'''Natalie''': I do not know. :'''Dan''': Thank God none of us works in sports. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': You know what pumps me up? :'''Casey''': I know you like grape jelly. ===''Eli's Coming'' [1.19]=== :'''Dana:''': Listen, Isaac's gonna want to show us pictures from his vacation, so I'm gonna get a "welcome back" cake and we'll have a little party in his office tomorrow. :'''Casey''': What kind of cake? :'''Dana''': What kind of cake? :'''Casey''': Yes. :'''Dana''': I don't know, Casey, why do you ask? :'''Casey''': I'm particular about cake. And I have to say, it's been my experience that men buy better cake than women. I've found that women tend to get these yogurt-frosted low-cal things laced with a rum and fruit concoction that make eating cake into something you do to be polite. So that's why I was asking what kind of cake you were planning on getting to celebrate Isaac returning from vacation. :'''Dana''': Wow. I didn't know you felt so strongly about it. But now that I do, I guess the answer is "whatever cake I damn please." :'''Casey''': Excellent. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dana''': You're damn right there's an economy of language. I got the job done in two words. And I think... I can make another cut! Yes. We don't need "back"! We can cut the "back". :'''Jeremy''': Cut the "back"? :'''Dana''': Yes. :'''Jeremy''': And have it just say "Welcome"? :'''Dana''': Yes. :'''Casey''': "Welcome"? :'''Dana''': Do you have a problem with that? :'''Jeremy''': He'll think he just cleared Customs. ===''Ordnance Tactics'' [1.20]=== :'''Casey''': Is there anyone who can say anything that will make us feel like the smart thing to do is to stay in this building right now? :'''Dana''': In ten minutes, three and a half million people will tune in to watch the two of you on television.

Bush league. * ''[clears throat]'' The Human Torch was denied a bank loan. * Good evening. I'm Ron Burgundy, and this is what's happening in your world tonight. A La Jolla man clings to life at a university hospital after being viciously attacked by a pack of wild dogs in an abandoned pool. * For all of us here at News Center Four, I'm Ron Burgundy.

Whammy! * I woke up this morning on the floor of some Japanese family's rec room, and they would not stop screaming! == Brick Tamland == * I'm Brick Tamland.

This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man than the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine, they made [[w:Frank Sinatra|Sinatra]] look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls. * ''[voiceover]'' When the clock struck six, it meant one thing for Ron Burgundy and his news team: go time. ==Dialogue== :'''Ed''': Listen up.

And that is a scientific fact! :'''Brian''': Uh-huh. :'''Brick''': I don't know what we're yelling about! :'''Brian''': You're with us, Ron. What do you think? :'''Ron''': Shit! Sh-- it's terrible! She has beautiful eyes, and her hair smells like cinnamon! :'''Brian''': Mm-hmm. :'''Brick''': Loud noises! :'''Ed''': All right, everyone relax. She's not gonna take anyone's airtime, okay? :'''Brick''': I heard somewhere that their periods attract bears. The bears can smell the menstruation. :'''Brian''': Well, that's just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now, you're putting the whole station in jeopardy. :'''Champ''': I will say one thing for her, Ed. She does have a nice, big old behind. :''[He laughs.]'' :'''Champ''': I'd like to put some barbecue sauce on that butt and just bite, bite, bite, bite, munch, munch, munch! Ah-woo! :''[Ed and Brian are cracking up.]'' :'''Ed''': Stop it! Oh, Jesus. :''[Champ continues barking and does not see Veronica enter the room. Ed and Brian stop laughing upon realizing that she is there.]'' :'''Champ''': Oh, oh, oh, look at the full-moon butt! Look at it! :''[He continues barking.]'' :'''Brian''': Champ! Champ! Champ, Champ! :''[Brian motions to Champ to be quiet, and Champ turns and sees Veronica and becomes silent.]'' :'''Veronica Corningstone''': Mr. Harkin, I was just wondering if you knew when my office would be ready. :'''Edward "Ed" Harkin''': Well, that might take some time. For now, why don't you just grab a desk in the bullpen? :'''Ron''': You can use my office! Then, afterwards, maybe we can go to lunch! :'''Ed''': Lower your voice, Ron. :'''Ron''': Mm-hm! :'''Veronica''': All right. Well, thank you, Mr. Harkin. I'll go get my desk set up. :''[Veronica leaves Ed's office, and Champ and Brian crack up again.]'' :'''Champion "Champ" Kind''': Oh, she is a saucy mama! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Champ''': What's this? :'''Wes''': Well, well, well. Ron Burgundy and the Channel Four News team. :'''Ron''': Hello, Wes Mantooth. Hello, Evening News team. :'''Wes''': Hey, nice clothes, gentlemen. I didn't know that the Salvation Army was having a sale. :''[Wes and his news team laugh, and Wes flicks his cigarette at Ron.]'' :'''Wes''': Am I right? Am I right? Look at these guys! :''[They continue laughing.]'' :'''Brick''': Hey! Where did you get those clothes? At the toilet store? :'''We''': What are you doing on our station's turf, Burgundy? You're about to get a serious beat down. :'''Champ''': I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again! :''[Wes's colleagues are forced to restrain an enraged Wes while Brick restrains Champ. Ron puts himself between Champ and Wes]'' :'''Wes''': Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! You understand me? Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! :'''Ron''': Hey, leave the mothers out of this. All right? :''[Ron adjusts Champ's collar while Brian makes fighting motions at the Evening News team.]'' :'''Ron''': It's unnecessary. Besides, I'm sure Wes here is just upset about finishing second in the ratings again. :''[Brian winces.]'' :'''Brian''': Ooh! :''[He laughs.]'' :'''Wes''': That's completely uncalled for, Burgundy. You know those rating systems are flawed. They don't take in account houses that have, uh, more than two television sets and other - other things of that nature. :'''Ron''': I guess I have to take you at your word, number two. :''[Ron, Brian, Champ, and Brick laugh at this, and Brian holds up a number two sign on his hand.]'' :'''Ron''': You have a great day, fellas. We'll see you around the bend. :''[They walk off while Wes hits his news team's van.]'' :'''Wes''': Son of a bitch! :'''Brian''': Excusez-moi, numéro two. :'''Wes''': Hey, Burgundy. You know those sample audiences aren't big enough! Stop hiding behind those phony numbers, Burgundy! I'm coming after you! I hate you, Ron Burgundy. I hate you! ''[to his news team]'' Can't say - can't say one word? Even the guy who can't think says something! You just stand there? Come on! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Champ walks up to Veronica Corningstone's desk.]'' :'''Champ''': Let me just grab this. :''[He pretends to grab a pencil but tries grabbing her breast instead.]'' :'''Champ''': Oh, sorry about that. Whammy. :''[He starts walking away.]'' :'''Veronica''': Hmm. Uh, Champ? :'''Champ''': Yeah? :'''Veronica''': You're trying to touch my breast, aren't you? :'''Champ''': What can I say? I like the way you're put together. What do you say we go out on a date? Have some chicken, maybe some sex. You know, see what happens? :'''Veronica''': Oh, let me get this over here. :''[She punches Champ in the groin, causing him to groan in pain.]'' :'''Veronica''': Oh, sorry. :''[She grabs a tape dispenser.]'' :'''Veronica''': There it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': Let's go to Brian Fantana who's live on the scene with a Channel Four News exclusive. Brian? :'''Brian''': Panda Watch! The mood is tense. I have been on some serious, serious reports but nothing quite like this. I, uh, Ching King is inside right now. I tried to get an interview with him, but they said "No, you can't do that, he's a live bear, he will literally rip your face off." ''[to the Panda]'' Hey, you're making me look stupid. Get out here, panda jerk! :'''Ron''': Great story. Compelling and rich. Well, that's going to do it for all of us here at Channel Four News. You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy? :'''Ed''': Damn it! Who typed a question mark on the teleprompter? For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Burgundy will read! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': Well, I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. :''[Brian and Ron.]'' :'''Brian''': Time to musk up. :''[He opens the door to reveal different types of colognes.]'' :'''Ron''': Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. :''[He laughs.]'' :'''Ron''': What cologne are you gonna go with? London Gentleman or . . . wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight? :'''Brian''': No. She gets a special cologne. It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. :'''Ron''': It's quite pungent. :'''Brian''': Oh yeah. :'''Ron''': It's a formidable scent. :''[He cringes while Brian daubs the cologne on his neck.]'' :'''Ron''': It stings the nostrils. :''[He laughs.]'' :'''Ron''': In a good way. :'''Brian''': Yeah. :'''Ron''': Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you. That smells like pure gasoline. :'''Brian''': They've done studies, you know? 60% of the time, it works every time. :'''Ron''': That doesn't make any sense. :'''Brian''': Well, let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr. :''[Brian growls, leaves the office, and approaches Veronica.]'' :'''Brian''': Hey, sweet cheeks. Got an invite I'd like to extend your way. :'''Veronica''': My God. What is that smell? Oh! :'''Brian''': That's the smell of desire, my lady. :'''Veronica''': God no, it smells like - like a used diaper filled with Indian food. Oh! Excuse me. :'''Brian''': You know, desire smells like that to some people. :''[Other people start reacting to the cologne.]'' :'''News station employee''': What is that? It smells like a turd covered in burnt hair! :''[Another woman passes by Brian and reacts in disgust.]'' :'''Woman''': It smells like Bigfoot's dick! :''[Almost all of the employees flee the office to avoid the smell, and a woman starts screaming. Brian looks at his watch.]'' :'''Brian''': Oh. :''[The smell is so strong that it sets off the fire alarm. Brian tries acting casual and walks away.]'' :'''Brian''': Oh, what's that smell, huh? :''[The scene cuts to Brian being jet-hosed in the parking lot.]'' :'''Hoser''': This is worse than the time the raccoon got in the copier! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Brick makes a fake cough.]'' :'''Brick''': Cough. Look over here. Excuse me, Veronica. :'''Veronica''': Yes, what is it, Brick? :'''Brick''': I would like to extend to you, an invitation to the Pants Party. :'''Veronica''': Excuse me? :'''Brick''': The party, the pants, party with the pants? :'''Veronica''': Brick, are you saying that there is a party in your pants and that I'm invited? :'''Brick''': That's it. :'''Veronica''': Mm. Did Brian tell you to say this, Brick? :'''Brick''': No, yes, he did. :'''Veronica''': Okay. No, I don't want to go to a party in your pants. :'''Brick''': Very well. :''[He turns to Ian.]'' :'''Brick''': Ian! Would you like to go to a party in my pants? :'''Ian''': No, Brick. :'''Brick''': All right. Let's go! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Champ''': ''[on Veronica Corningstone]'' I'm telling you, she is a real ball-buster. :''[Brian laughs.]'' :'''Brian''': A real ice queen. :''[Brick drinks some coffee.]'' :'''Brick''': Mm. I just burned my tongue. :'''Ron''': The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show. :''[He holds up his arms and kisses each one.]'' :'''Ron''': Let's see if she likes the goods. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ron is lifting weights.]'' :'''Ron''': 1,001, 1,002, 1,003. :'''Veronica''': Uh, Mr. Burgundy? Helen said that you needed to see me. :'''Ron''': Oh, Miss Corningstone. I wasn't expecting company. Just doing my workout. Tuesday's arms and back. :'''Veronica''': Well, you asked me to come by, sir. :'''Ron''': Oh, did I? :'''Veronica''': Yes. :'''Ron''': Oh-h, it's the deep burn! Oh, it's so deep! Oh, I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting. I did over a thousand. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': Mmm. San Diego. Drink it in. It always goes down smooth. Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means "a whale's vagina". :'''Veronica''': No, there's no way that's correct. :'''Ron''': I'm sorry. I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest. I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago. :'''Veronica''': Doesn't it mean "Saint Diego"? :'''Ron''': No. No. :'''Veronica''': No, that's--that's what it means. Really. :'''Ron''': Well. Agree to disagree. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': I friggin' love you! :'''Veronica''': I friggin' love you back! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': Look, the most glorious rainbow ever! :'''Veronica''': Oh, do me on it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': Veronica Corningstone and I had sex, and we are now in love! Did I say that loud? :'''Brian''': Yeah, you pretty much yelled it. :'''Ron''': Well, I don't care. It's fantastic! :'''Champ''': What's it like, Ron? :'''Ron''': The intimate times? Outta sight, my man! :'''Brian''': No, the other thing. Love. :'''Brick''': Yeah. What is that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': I think I was in love once. :'''Ron''': Really? What was her name? :'''Brian''': I don't remember. :'''Ron''': That's not a good start, but keep going. :'''Brian''': She was Brazilian, or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-Mart, and we made out for hours. Then, we parted ways, never to see each other again. :'''Ron''': Brian, I'm pretty sure that's not love. :'''Brian''': Damn it! :'''Brick''': I love carpet. :''[Ron nods understandingly.]'' :'''Brick''': I love desk. :'''Ron''': Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them? :'''Brick''': I love lamp. :'''Ron''': Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying that because you saw it? :'''Brick''': I- I love lamp! I love lamp. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': You really want to know what love is? :''[Champ nods his head.]'' :'''Champ''': Yeah. :'''Brian''': Yes! Tell us! :'''Brick''': More than anything in the world, Ron! :'''Ron''': Well, it's really quite simple. It's kinda like... :''[He starts singing "Afternoon Delight".]'' :'''Ron''': "Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight, gonna grab some afternoon delight. My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right', why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?" :''[Champ, Brian, and Brick join in.]'' :'''Everyone''': "When everything's a little clearer in the light of day. And, we know the night is always gonna be here anyway!" :'''Brick and Brian''': "Thinking of you's workin' up my appetite, looking forward to a little afternoon delight. Rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite, and the thought of loving you is getting so exciting, sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight." :''[Ron stops singing.]'' :'''Ron''': You guys have it. :''[Everyone sings.]'' :'''Everyone''': "Afternoon delight!" :''[Champ, Brian, and Brick stop singing.]'' :'''Champ''': I dunno, Ron. That sounds kinda crazy. :'''Brian''': Sounds like you have mental problems, man. :'''Brick''': Yeah, you got mental problems, man. :'''Brian''': Yeah, it really does. :'''Brick''': Man. :''[Everyone sings.]'' :'''Everyone''': "Afternoon delight!" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Champ''': The bottom line is you've been spending a lot of time with this lady, Ron. You're a member of the Channel Four News team. :'''Ron''': That's a given. That's a given. :'''Champ''': We need you. Hell, I need you. I'm a mess without you. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you. I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. ''[He laughs brokenly.]'' I miss your scent. I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together! :'''Brian''': Take it easy, Champ. Why don't you stop talking for a while? :'''Ron''': Yeah, sit the next couple plays out, if you know what I mean. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron Burgundy''': Last time I checked, my name was Ron Burgundy!

''[gasps.]'' NOOOOOOOO!!!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': Where are you, Ron? :'''Ron''': I'm in a glass case of emotion! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': Wait, Veronica, please tell me this is some kind of sick tasteless joke. :'''Veronica''': You weren't here! Why are you being this way? Why can't you just be proud of me as a peer and as my gentleman lover? :'''Ron''': I can't believe you did this to me! You read my news! :'''Veronica''': I told you that I wanted to be an anchor. I told you that. :'''Ron''': I thought you were kidding! I thought it was a joke. I even wrote it down in my diary. "Veronica had a very funny joke today." I laughed at it later that night! :'''Veronica''': I can't believe that I cared for you! :'''Ron''': Get out! Just go! We are through! Through! Because of your actions, you scorpion woman! :'''Veronica''': You have broken my heart, Mr. Burgundy. You have broken my heart. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Veronica picks up the phone.]'' :'''Veronica''': Veronica Corningstone. :'''Ron''': Hello. This is your doctor. I have your pregnancy results here, and guess what? You, you got knocked up, so you should probably get out of news. :'''Veronica''': Who is this? :'''Ron''': This is Dr. Chim. Dr. Chim Richalds. Richalds. :'''Veronica''': Is this you, Ron? :'''Ron''': I'm a professional doctor. You saw me. You don't remember. You were drunk. You should - you should go, you should get out of news. :'''Veronica''': This is pathetic. :'''Ron''': You're pathetic. :''[He hangs up.]'' :'''Champ''': How'd it go? :'''Ron''': I think she bought it. <hr width="50%"> :'''Veronica''': Mr. Burgundy, I am a professional and I would like to be able to do my job. :'''Ron''': Big deal. I am very professional. :'''Veronica''': Mr. Burgundy, you are acting like a baby. :'''Ron''': I'm not a baby, I'm a man! I am an anchorman! :'''Veronica''': You are not a man. You are a big fat joke! :'''Ron''': I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn! That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of ours. It's science. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank Vitchard''': Hey! If you're gonna have a fight, then don't forget Channel Two News, with me, lead anchor Frank Vitchard. :'''Ron''': You dirt bags have been in third place for five years. :'''Frank Vitchard''': Oh, yeah?

He was elected [[w:pope|pope]] by the [[w:October 1978 papal conclave|second papal conclave of 1978]], which was called after [[Pope John Paul I|John Paul I]], who had been [[w:August 1978 papal conclave|elected in August]] to succeed [[Pope Paul VI]], died after 33 days. Cardinal Wojtyła was elected on the third day of the conclave and adopted the name of his predecessor in tribute to him. John Paul&nbsp;II is recognised as helping to end [[w:Polish People's Republic|Communist rule]] in his native Poland and the rest of Europe. John Paul II attempted to improve the Catholic Church's relations with [[Judaism]], [[Islam]], and the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]. He maintained the Church's previous positions on such matters as [[abortion]], artificial [[Birth control|contraception]], the [[w:ordination of women|ordination of women]], and a celibate clergy, and although he supported the reforms of the [[w:Second Vatican Council|Second Vatican Council]], he was seen as generally conservative in their interpretation.

Crossing the Threshold of Hope, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. === Familiaris Consortio (1981) === * The Church is called upon to manifest anew to everyone, with clear and stronger conviction, her will to promote human life by every means and to defend it against all attacks, in whatever condition or state of development it is found. Thus the Church condemns as a grave offense against human dignity and justice all those activities of governments or other public authorities which attempt to limit in any way the freedom of couples in deciding about children. Consequently, any violence applied by such authorities in favor of contraception or, still worse, of sterilization and procured abortion, must be altogether condemned and forcefully rejected. Likewise to be denounced as gravely unjust are cases where, in international relations, economic help given for the advancement of peoples is made conditional on programs of contraception, sterilization and procured abortion. ** Apostolic exhortation ''Familiaris Consortio'' on the role of the Christian family in the modern world, 22 November 1981, St Peter's Basilica * Christian marriage and the Christian family build up the Church: for in the family the human person is not only brought into being and progressively introduced by means of education into the human community, but by means of the rebirth of baptism and education in the faith the child is also introduced into God's family, which is the Church. The human family, disunited by sin, is reconstituted in its unity by the redemptive power of the death and Resurrection of Christ. Christian marriage, by participating in the salvific efficacy of this event, constitutes the natural setting in which the human person is introduced into the great family of the Church. The commandment to grow and multiply, given to man and woman in the beginning, in this way reaches its whole truth and full realization. ** Apostolic exhortation ''Familiaris Consortio'' on the role of the Christian family in the modern world, 22 November 1981, St Peter's Basilica * In virginity or celibacy, the human being is awaiting, also in a bodily way, the eschatological marriage of Christ with the Church, giving himself or herself completely to the Church in the hope that Christ may give Himself to the Church in the full truth of eternal life. The celibate person thus anticipates in his or her flesh the new world of the future resurrection. By virtue of this witness, virginity or celibacy keeps alive in the Church a consciousness of the mystery of marriage and defends it from any reduction and impoverishment. Virginity or celibacy, by liberating the human heart in a unique way,[40] "so as to make it burn with greater love for God and all humanity,"[41] bears witness that the Kingdom of God and His justice is that pearl of great price which is preferred to every other value no matter how great, and hence must be sought as the only definitive value. It is for this reason that the Church, throughout her history, has always defended the superiority of this charism to that of marriage, by reason of the wholly singular link which it has with the Kingdom of God. ** Apostolic exhortation ''Familiaris Consortio'' on the role of the Christian family in the modern world, 22 November 1981, St Peter's Basilica === Fides et Ratio (1998) === [[File:National gallery in washington d.c., mino da fiesole, fede, 1475-1480.JPG|thumb|Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of [[truth]]; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself.]] * '''Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of [[truth]]; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.''' ** Encyclical ''Fides et Ratio'', 14 September 1998 *** Source: [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_14091998_fides-et-ratio_en.html www.vatican.va] * Born and nurtured when the human being first asked questions about the reason for things and their purpose, [[philosophy]] shows in different modes and forms that the desire for [[truth]] is part of human nature itself. ** Encyclical ''Fides et Ratio'', 14 September 1998 *** Source: [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_14091998_fides-et-ratio_en.html www.vatican.va] * to men and women there falls the task of exploring [[truth]] with their [[reason]], and in this their [[nobility]] consists. ** Encyclical ''Fides et Ratio'', 14 September 1998 *** Source: [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_14091998_fides-et-ratio_en.html www.vatican.va] * Every truth—if it really is truth—presents itself as universal, even if it is not the whole truth.

Scientists cannot, therefore, hold themselves entirely aloof from the sorts of issues dealt with by philosophers and theologians.

They can also come to appreciate for themselves that these discoveries cannot be a genuine substitute for knowledge of the truly ultimate.

Acknowledgement of the unique dignity of the human person has a further underlying consequence: ''vital organs which occur singly in the body can be removed only after death'', that is from the body of someone who is certainly dead. This requirement is self-evident, since to act otherwise would mean intentionally to cause the death of the donor in disposing of his organ. ** Address to the 18th International Congress of the Transplantation Society, 29 August 2000 * It is helpful to recall that ''the death of the person'' is a single event, consisting in the total disintegration of that unitary and integrated whole that is the personal self. The death of the person, understood in this primary sense, is an event which ''no scientific technique or empirical method can identify directly''. Human experience shows that once death occurs ''certain biological signs inevitably follow'', which medicine has learnt to recognize with increasing precision. In this sense, the "criteria" for ascertaining death used by medicine today should not be understood as the technical-scientific determination of the exact moment of a person's death, but as a scientifically secure means of identifying ''the biological signs that a person has indeed died''. ** Address to the 18th International Congress of the Transplantation Society, 29 August 2000 * At the beginning of the new millennium, and at the close of the Great Jubilee during which we celebrated the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Jesus and a new stage of the Church's journey begins, our hearts ring out with the words of Jesus when one day, after speaking to the crowds from Simon's boat, he invited the Apostle to "put out into the deep" for a catch: "Duc in altum" (Lk 5:4).

No barriers to perfect self-giving; no barriers to childbirth; no condoms, IUDs or pills. Abortion is illegal too.

It's a campaign that draws passion and motivation from the Pope from [[Poland]], [[John Paul II]], and a vision of womanhood rooted in his personal history. In Kalwaria, close to the Pope's home town. They're setting off on a burial, the burial of the Virgin Mary. 74 years ago, this ceremony helped shape the Pope's vision of womanhood. The effigy, carried miles to its final resting place. Out of devotion to the ultimate mother. For John Paul, the virgin was to be the image of the ideal woman, a mother to all, and to him when, aged 8, he lost his own mother. ** Steve Bradshaw, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/programmes/panorama/transcripts/sexandtheholycity.txt "SEX and the HOLY CITY"], “Panorama”, ''BBC News''.

It suggested that for a married man and woman: "climax must be reached in harmony" though he did add: "as far as possible." But although this was the age of the pill, Wojtyla also condemned contraception, pills, IUDs and condoms: "All immoral he said. All harmful for the health." Incredibly as it now seems, the Vatican almost endorsed the pill in the 60s, after all, there was no explicit ban on contraction in the Bible. But the then Pope, Paul VIth, received a gift from Krakow's Karol Wojtyla, a report attacking contraception and promoting natural family planning. The dismay of liberal Catholics, Pope Paul VIth using arguments Wojtyla had advocated, reaffirmed the ban on contraception. Karol Wojtyla, who'd been made Cardinal by a grateful Paul VIth, had stood against the tide of Catholic opinion and won. And once elected Pope, 25 years ago this week, he would use his extraordinary popularity to stand against the tide of world opinion, condemning contraction and the trend to legalise abortion. ** Steve Bradshaw, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/spl/hi/programmes/panorama/transcripts/sexandtheholycity.txt "SEX and the HOLY CITY"], “Panorama”, ''BBC News''.

He's pleased the Pope by stopping US aid for foreign organisations the US considers as promoting abortion, and by cutting off 34 million dollars of funding for the United Nations Population Fund and its family planning programmes.

These gave hi a particularly rich background for the work he was destined to do in the Church. Not only did he develop his formidable intellectual gifts through teaching in philosophy and moral theology, but he gained invaluable experience of ordinary life through work during the war as a laborer and in a different way as a parish priest and youth counselor. He acquired a deep respect for manual labor and the dignity of the ordinary man. So he wrote in a poem called ‘Participation: <br> How splendid these men, no airs, no graces, <br> I know you, look into your hearts, <br> No pretense stands between us, <br> Some hands are for toil, some for the cross. ** Mary Shivinandan, [https://books.google.com/books?id=eKMHK-598EsC “Crossing the Threshold of Love: A New Vision of Marriage in the Light of John Paul II’s Anthropology”], The Theater of the Word, p.3 * The acting career of Karol Wojtyla began in high school between 1934 and 1938 and continued during the war years. At the age of 19 years he wrote his first play, ''David'', which was quickly followed in the spring and summer of 1940 with ''Job'' and ''Jeremiah''. As a result of the war, the theater was forced to go underground. Wartime limitations gave rise to the Rhapsodic Theater (1941), which was characterized by a minimum of scenery and emphasis on the spoken word. Succha theater of the ''word'' suited well the inclinations of both his collaborator, Mieczyslaw Kotlarczyk, and Wojtyla, tow of the five actors o the new Rhapsodic Theater. It was, above all, a theater of the inner self. <br> Boleslaw Taborski, the translator of his plays, identifies some key characteristics of the dramatic works of the future Pope. ‘In his plays, as in his poems, he is concerned not so much with external events as with exploring man’s soul: it is there that the ''action'' unfolds.’ He finds a certain uniformity in themes and what he calls ‘moral import.’ Even as a nineteen-year-old, Wojtyla’s work was remarkably mature with an inner coherence. He presented a ‘vision of man’s place on earth and in the divine plan of creation.’ He also aimed at the ‘revaluation of words,’ which had become debased by various ideologies. ** Mary Shivinandan, [https://books.google.com/books?id=eKMHK-598EsC “Crossing the Threshold of Love: A New Vision of Marriage in the Light of John Paul II’s Anthropology”], The Theater of the Word, p.5 * Under John Paul II, disciplinary actions against dissident theologians and priests increased dramatically, and the theological arguments advanced to support celibacy and to reject women’s ordination, artificial contraception, abortion, and NRTS became more entangled. This interpenetration of theological arguments meant that the Church found itself embroiled in an escalating series of crises from the 1960s onward, as increasingly its views on sexual morality no longer coincided with secular views. ** Kimba Allie Tichenor (2016).

The people of Poland, the people of America, and the people of Europe still cry out "We want God." Together, with Pope John Paul II, the Poles reasserted their identity as a nation devoted to God. And with that powerful declaration of who you are, you came to understand what to do and how to live. You stood in solidarity against oppression, against a lawless secret police, against a cruel and wicked system that impoverished your cities and your souls. And you won. Poland prevailed.

The police now believe she was kidnapped, or is just very good at hiding. <hr width=50%/> :'''Doreau''': This is the leader of the group, Weird Willard Luxley. Luxley's family was so certain their son would turn out rotten they put him up for adoption three years before he was born. This is Feliz Navidad, a fiery Latin revolutionary who illegally entered this country as Julio Iglesias. Lastly, we have former member Kurt Kruggle, a despicable pervert. First arrested five years ago for making love to a fire hydrant. An additional charge was brought against Kruggle for parking in front of it. === Hammer Gets Nailed [1.2]=== :'''Doreau''': That man over there is a fiendish killer. Tied his dates to a magic fingers bed. Twelve women massaged to death. :'''Gumm''': How awful. :'''Doreau''': Made the Ten Most Wanted List. Also made Cosmo's Bachelor of the Month <hr width=50%/> :'''Trunk''': Hammer, you don't seem to understand my dilemma. I've been fighting with the city hall for over two months now. They're talking about making cutbacks. The mayor is threatening this entire department. Do you understand what I am saying? :'''Hammer''': You want me to kill the mayor. <hr width=50%/> :'''Sledge Hammer''': Hey, get back here! Don't you wanna finish the job? You lazy Commie! ''(after chasing off a foreign spy/assassin)'' ===Witless [1.3]=== ===They Shoot Hammers, Don't They? [1.4]=== ===Dori Day Afternoon [1.5]=== :'''Hammer''' ''[answers phone]'' Second National Bank, hostage speaking. :'''Trunk''': Hammer, this is Trunk. Have they hurt anyone? :'''Hammer''': No. :'''Trunk''': Have ''you'' hurt anyone? :'''Hammer''': Not yet. <hr width=50%/> :''A crowd gathers near a building where a man on the ledge is threatening to jump'' :'''Dori''': I'll get a bullhorn and try to talk him down. :'''Hammer''': No, no, I can handle this. :'''Dori''': Hammer! ''[Hammer opens fire at the man, but missing and shooting off pieces of the ledge. The suicide jumper finally takes cover inside the building]'' :'''Hammer''': Another life saved and I still have one bullet left. Listen my bank is just around the corner, can we stop and I'll get some cash and then you can buy me breakfast. ===To Sledge, with Love [1.6]=== ===All Shook Up [1.7]=== ===Over My Dead Bodyguard [1.8]=== :'''Sledge''': You know, that's what I hate about newspapers in this country. They find out things, and then they write about them! ===Magnum Farce [1.9]=== :'''Collins''': Of all the officers I've recruited, there's something strangely appealing about you. I guess it's your callous disregard for human rights, your savage instinct, your chauvinism, your inability to treat women as equals. :'''Hammer''': Yeah, I'm quite a catch. ===If I Had a Little Hammer [1.10]=== :'''Hammer''': This is a precinct, not an encounter group. If a man and a woman have problems, they should settle them the way my wife and I did, with a divorce. <hr width=50%/> :'''Hammer''': Doreau, what are you doing? Cops can't go around making promises they can't keep. That right is reserved for the President <hr width=50%/> :'''Trunk''': Hammer, have you no compassion for what those people are going through? :'''Hammer''': Of course I do. I have suffered a sense of loss just like everyone else. I lost my luggage once. I was torn up about it for weeks. ===To Live and Die on TV [1.11]=== :'''Kenny''': You know, Inspector, in this business we call a show, contestants come and go, but Mel just wasn't a first name on a cheap tag. No, he had a last name too. What the hell was it? ===Miss of the Spider Woman [1.12]=== :'''Hammer''': You know, Captain, I never thought I'd go out like this. I always thought I'd live to see a nuclear war. :'''Trunk''': You've got forty-six minutes left. It could still happen. :'''Hammer''': Thanks, Captain. ===The Old Man and the Sledge [1.13]=== :'''Doreau''': Hammer, there's a report of gunfire in an apartment building a couple of blocks from here. :'''Hammer''': Who needs coffee? That'll get me revved up! <hr width=50%/> :'''Doreau''': You know, Hammer, looking out for Mr. Yates really showed me that you're not all hostility and vengeance. Mostly. But not all. <hr width=50%/> :'''Hammer''': That was reckless, it was careless, it was totally irresponsible. And I loved it. ===State of Sledge [1.14]=== :'''Trunk''': I sent Hammer home early and I got rid of every scrap of paper with Hammer's name on it. That guy won't even know Hammer exists. I wish I could say the same. <hr width=50%/> :'''Inspector Perkins''': Mr. Slag, I want to know if Inspector Hammer has mistreated you in any way. :''[Slag holds up his hands, which are shackled]'' :'''Inspector Perkins''': What are these? Are these shackles really necessary? :'''Sledge Hammer''': I'm just trying to make his stay in Hotel Hammer a little more uncomfortable. :'''Inspector Perkins''': Remove these shackles. :'''Sledge Hammer''': You don't want me to remove them. :'''Inspector Perkins''': Inspector Hammer! :''[Slag smirks and holds up his hands. Hammer sighs and unlocks the shackles]'' :'''Inspector Perkins''': There. Does that feel better, Slag? :''[Slag immediately starts throttling Perkins. As he chokes and gasps, Hammer stands by calmly]'' :'''Sledge Hammer''': Just, uh, tell me if you want me to help you. You know, just say, "help me, Hammer" and I'll... :''[He leans forward, as though trying to hear]'' :'''Inspector Perkins''': ''[manages to croak]'' Help. :''[Hammer nods and draws his gun]'' :'''Sledge Hammer''': All right, heel, ratboy. :''[Slag drops Perkins, and shrugs innocently]'' ===Haven't Gun, Will Travel [1.15]=== :'''Doreau''': In London the cops don't carry guns and criminals don't carry a gun. And London is a very safe city to live in. :'''Hammer''': Yeah. Especially if you're a crook, and you've got a gun. <hr width=50%/> :'''Hammer''': This whole thing has just complete sapped my self-confidence. I'm not a man any more. I'm indecisive. Well, actually, I don't know, maybe I'm not. No, I, I... am. === The Color of Hammer [1.16]=== :'''Trunk''': Hammer, I haven't seen you this excited about TV since they colorized World War II footage. <hr width=50%/> :'''Brianne O'Brian''': You've got a reputation as a hardliner. You've even been referred to as "The Hanging Judge." When did you get that name? :'''Judge Jackson''': At my baptism. :'''Brianne O'Brian''': We know how you feel about the death penalty. Where do you stand on the electric chair? :'''Judge Jackson''': Right next to the switch. === Brother, Can You Spare a Crime? [1.17] === :'''Doreau'''': Hammer, I cannot believe what you're saying. Incarcerate potential criminals at birth? What are you going to do, throw them in a baby prison? :'''Hammer''': If they resist arrest. === Desperately Seeking Dori [1.18] === :'''Doctor''': I'm afraid that blow to Detective Doreau's head has caused a behavioral imbalance. She's become excessively violent, irrational, and dangerous. :'''Hammer''': That happened to me once. The day I was born. <hr width=50%/> :'''Trunk''': Hammer! I want you and Doreau to come into the precinct immediately. And I want you to make sure she does not get killed. It's okay if you do. === Sledgepoo [1.19]=== :'''Kruggle''': Listen, Hammer, I've got some information for you about that cat burglar, the one who's pulling off all those jewel robberies. :'''Hammer''': Hey, listen, forget it, okay. It's a sissy case. :'''Kruggle''': Oh yeah? Well, uh, he's suspected of shooting a cop. :'''Hammer''': There's a cat burglar who shot a cop. Now I'm mildly enraged. <hr width=50%/> :'''Commissioner Holbestam''': Hammer, what do you have behind your back? :'''Hammer''': What? Oh, the bowling ball. Well, actually, there's a very simple explanation. :'''Trunk''': Yeah, he's found a new way to harm others. === Comrade Hammer [1.20]=== :'''Doreau''': Captain, I think we can get the professor to Springfield without using a plane. We'll use an alternative form of transportation that no one ever uses any more. :'''Hammer''': That's a good idea, Doreau. We'll take a stagecoach. I'll ride shotgun. === Jagged Sledge [1.21]=== :'''Doreau''': Captain, you don't seriously believe that Hammer shot Hugo Victor in cold blood, do you? :'''Trunk''': Doreau, what I can't believe is that Hammer shot him only once. Restraint is not one of Hammer's strong points. === The Spa Who Loved Me [1.22]=== :'''Robin Leach''': Good evening, I'm Robin Leach. The producers of Sledge Hammer! have asked me to explain tonight's episode. Let me be frank, it is an attempt to boost the ratings. There are many ways to do this. Better scripts, more warmth, and big-name guest stars. But we're desperate. So in tonight's episode, we're going to rely on four sure-fire ratings grabbers. Sex, violence, rock music, and, best of all, a cliff hanger ending that will keep our viewers glued to the edge of their seats until next season, thus ensuring there will be a next season. Trust me, I know what I'm doing. <hr width=50%/> :'''Trunk''': Hammer, I must congratulate you on apprehending those bank robbers. I just can't believe that you were able to get them to surrender their weapons by reading aloud from the collected works of Rob McKuen. :'''Doreau''': It's great. :'''Hammer''': You know, some of them were weeping openly. The truth is, poetry is more effective than tear gas. When Hammer; Doreau; Trunk find the nuclear warhead; Trunk asks Hammer if he Knows what hes doing: :'''Hammer''':TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT IM DOIng Bomb goes off leaving a ruined city :'''Trunk''':HAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMER ==Season 2== === A Clockwork Hammer [2.01]=== :'''Landon Smartikoff''': At level 4 we associate scenes of extreme violence with our command to forget a certain topic. It can turn [[Oliver North]] into a bed-wetter. :'''Marc Rinsler''': This had better work, we're running out of time. :''[Hammer is exposed to a string of violent images.]'' :'''Landon Smartikoff''': This is impossible! This man is experiencing every form of violence known to man... and he's loving it! <hr width=50%/> :'''Marc Rinsler''': I am losing my patience... :'''Landon Smartikoff''': So am I... give me a gun, let's kill him! :'''Marc Rinsler''': Are you [[Insanity|mad]]?! :'''Landon Smartikoff''': Of course I'm mad! [[w:Brandon Tartikoff|Would a sane man work in television?]] === Big Nazi on Campus [2.02]=== === Play It Again Sledge [2.03]=== === Wild About Hammer [2.04]=== :'''Trunk''': According to our findings, Elizabeth Jenkins escaped six months ago from a home. :'''Doreau''': You mean, "a home"? :'''Trunk''': That is correct. And apparently while there, she became obsessed with TV police shows. Upon escaping, Jenkins used falsified records to enroll herself in the police academy. :'''Doreau''': So, after being stationed at the 33rd, she naturally fixated on a cliched, macho cop like Ginsburg. And when he rejected her psychotic advances, she killed him. :'''Trunk''': That's right. And then transferred here... where another, similar murder almost took place. :'''Hammer''': Wait a minute! You're telling me that someone with serious mental problems was able to slip through our screening procedures and become a cop? How could something as obscene as that happen? :'''Trunk''': That's not the question, Hammer. The question is, "how could it have happened ''again''?" === Death of a Few Salesmen [2.05]=== === Vertical [2.06]=== === Dressed to Call [2.07]=== === Hammer Hits the Rock [2.08]=== === The Last of the Red Hot Vampires [2.09]=== === Hammeroid [2.10]=== === Sledge in Toyland [2.11]=== === Icebreaker [2.12]=== === They Call Me Mr. Trunk [2.13]=== === Model Dearest [2.14]=== === Sledge, Rattle 'n' Roll [2.15]=== === Suppose They Gave A War And Sledge Came?

Allen Carter''': ''[off Marx]'' Could nothing loobek cat ghat? A littlest slide of haven. :'''Ed Reiss''': If your idea of heaven is a bartender, listless rock. :'''J.

They wouldn't listen. :'''Batman''': Big surprise. :'''Martian Manhunter''': I sense you don't trust me. Perhaps this will help. ''[after changing to a more human form]'' I am J'onn J'onzz. :''[He offers his hand to Batman, who just stands there.]'' :'''Superman''': Don't take it personally, J'onn. He doesn't trust anyone. :'''Martian Manhunter''': ''[dryly]'' A wise policy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flash''': Whoa! Where have you been all my life? :'''Wonder Woman''': Themyscira. :'''Flash''': Huh? :'''Hawkgirl''': The home of the Amazons. I always thought it was merely a legend. :'''Wonder Woman''': I assure you, it's as real as the ground on which we stand on. I am Diana, Princess of the Amazons. :'''Flash''': Pinch me, I must be dreaming. (''Superman elbows him'') Ow! :'''Wonder Woman''': Themyscira is protected by the gods. But I could not idly stand by when the rest of the world is in danger. :'''Superman''': It was lucky you showed up when you did. :'''Martian Manhunter''': No. Not luck. I telepathically summoned them. :'''Flash''': Look, I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake, but would someone please tell me, what the heck is going on here? (''Everyone looks at him'') :'''Wonder Woman''': So, J'onn J'onzz, you came from Mars to warn us? :'''Flash''': This is just too weird. :'''Green Lantern''': I've seen stranger things.<hr width="50%"/> :'''Flash''': What's the problem? Can't you just whip up another batch of that nerve gas? :'''Martian Manhunter''': Unfortunately, no. The gas can only be made from a rare Martian plant. I brought a sample with me, but it was destroyed when I was captured. :'''Flash''': Uh, what's Plan B? :'''Wonder Woman''': We'll have to take out those factories. :'''Green Lantern''': Lady, this is no job for amateurs. :'''Wonder Woman''': We Amazons are warriors born! Want to test me? :'''Superman''': Lets not fight among ourselves. John, we're going to need all the help we can get. :'''Green Lantern''': Fine. Sorry, "your highness". Tactically, we'll have multiple objectives. We'll need to split into teams. :'''Flash''': Dibs on the Amazon! (''cut to Flash and Green Lantern'') You are no fun! :'''Green Lantern''': This isn't supposed to be fun. We've got a job to do. We'll do it better without distractions.

With all of us behind it, it just might work. Count me in. :'''Green Lantern''': Me too. :'''Wonder Woman''': And me. My mother may not approve, but I found Man's World to be quite intriguing. I'll gladly join. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': I'm not really a people person. But, when you need help - and you '''will''' - call me. ===In Blackest Night=== :'''Martian Manhunter''': Wonder Woman is on another case, Superman's dealing with an earthquake and Batman would only say that he's "busy". :'''[[w:Hawkgirl|Hawkgirl]]''': Typical. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Hawkgirl has just critically damaged an attacking ship'') :'''Superman''': Hawkgirl! :'''Hawkgirl''': What?

But who will speak for John Stewart? :'''Flash''': Don't you have any lawyers here? :'''Chief Judge''': We solved our lawyer problem a long time ago. :'''Third Judge''': However, you could speak for him, if you wish. :'''Second Judge''': But be aware, if you lose, you'll share the same penalty as the accused. :'''Flash''': The same penalty? You mean... that's crazy! :'''Chief Judge''': No, that's how we solved our lawyer problem. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flash''': ''[buying time defending Green Lantern]'' Ahem. Right. Sure.

He was nowhere near the crime, what kind of witness could he be? :'''Flash''': A big scary one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecutor''': How much more must we hear?

I want an appeal! :'''Green Lantern''': Will you show some dignity for once in your life? :'''Flash''': This isn't right. We can't just sit here. :'''Green Lantern''': We have to. Think of the others like us. We all need to be held accountable. We have too much power not to be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Lantern''': In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power: Green Lantern's light!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Guardian''': We chose wisely when we offered you the ring. ===The Enemy Below=== :'''Superman''': You know, all this could have been avoided. :'''[[w:Aquaman|Aquaman]]''': How? :'''Superman''': Come and air your grievances at the World Assembly. Negotiate for peace. :'''Aquaman''': You'd have me crawl to them like some beggar? :'''Superman''': No. Stand before them like a king. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Lantern''': We never should have left that sub down there. Now it's in the hands of that madman. :'''[[w:Wonder Woman|Wonder Woman]]''': Aquaman's no madman. He's a king. He only wants to preserve and protect his own kind. :'''Green Lantern''': So who's going to protect ''us'' from ''him''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': I'll take it from here. ''[takes Deadshot away from the group]'' :'''[[w:Deadshot|Deadshot]]''': You can't scare me, Batman. :'''Batman''': ''[grabbing him]'' Let me give you one word of advice... :''[Batman whispers something indistinct.]'' :'''Deadshot''': Okay, I'll tell, I'll tell. :'''Wonder Woman''': ''[to Superman]'' What did he say? :'''Superman''': You don't want to know. :''[N.B.

I can't believe it. :'''Green Lantern''': I told you he was a madman. :'''Mera''': Is it madness to sacrifice all for someone you love? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': There's not much time. If we can't shut that down, the entire world is doomed! :'''Green Lantern''': I suppose this is a bad time to say "I told you so." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aquaman''': ''[sighs]'' I can only blame myself. My fear of the surface-dwellers blinded me to those I should have feared most... and it cost me dearly. ''[looks down at the harpoon replacing his severed hand]'' :'''Green Lantern''': Don't be too hard on yourself. Maybe we've all misjudged. :'''Aquaman''': Perhaps. All I want, all I've ever wanted, is peace and security for Atlantis. :'''Superman''': After what's happened, it won't be easy. :'''Aquaman''': ''[looks back at Mera, holding their son]'' I know. But some sacrifices are worth it. ===Injustice For All=== :'''Martian Manhunter''': ''[to Luthor]'' So much for your image as a benevolent businessman. This is the end of an era. :'''[[w:Lex Luthor|Lex Luthor]]''': The end of ''your'' era, maybe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Superman''': Lex, if there's anything I can do-- :'''Lex Luthor''': ''You've done more than enough''! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Luthor interrupts the [[w:Ultra-Humanite|Ultra-Humanite]]'s opera program]'' :'''Lex Luthor''': Humanite! How can you stand that caterwauling?! :'''Ultra-Humanite''': Music is one of the meager pleasures I'm allowed in here, along with a few other necessities. You should try the culture channel. It might improve your disposition. :'''Lex Luthor''': There's nothing wrong with my disposition that a little freedom wouldn't cure. :'''Ultra-Humanite''': That's not what ''I'' hear. :'''Lex Luthor''': ...

Well, the plot thins. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flash''': And I had those flames out before the firemen even stepped off their trucks. :'''Hawkgirl''': That's fast. :'''Flash''': Fastest man alive. :'''Hawkgirl''': Which might explain why you can't get a date. :'''Flash''': Yeah... Hey! What's that supposed to mean? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Luthor is knocked back during the battle with the Justice League]'' :'''Ultra-Humanite''': There goes our paycheck.

Right? :'''Flash''': Yeah, but... we're the good guys! :'''Glorious Godfrey''': Of course you are! And I'm sure you can account for the fact that since your so-called 'Justice League' formed, white-collar crime is up three percent! :'''Flash''': White-collar?

Bummer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Lantern''': (''possessed'') You've lost, human. :'''Flash''': Maybe you're right. Maybe it is hopeless.

To halt the process we would need to create an Einstein-Rosen Bridge to drain off the affecting anti-fusion matter. :'''Flash''': Create a what to do what? :'''Hawkgirl''': Make a wormhole to suck away the bad stuff. :'''Flash''': Oh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Lantern''': Bring home the gold, hotshot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hawkgirl''': ''[on audio]'' Lantern, is he...? :'''Green Lantern''': He's in one piece.

None of these gifts were more remarkable than his ability to discern what needed to be done, and his unfailing courage in doing it, whatever the personal cost.

Don't touch that remote. I know it's heartbreaking to have your favorite shows preempted, but look what you're getting instead: me!

So stay tuned - you won't believe your eyes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': Here's how we do this little tango: I've tucked away a great, big time bomb somewhere on the Vegas strip. Only the Justice League can defuse it, 'cause if anyone ''else'' tries, ''(shows audience a switch)'' I press this, and kablooie! No waiting! Now, I know you want to see the big bomb hunt from the best point of view, so I've set up hundreds of cameras all over town! The League won't be able to burp without us looking in! And since every good suspense show has to have a ticking clock, here's mine! ''(a display appears on screen, counting down from 23 minutes - the average length of an episode without commercials)'' Oh, what were you expecting from me?

According to my projections, we've got somewhere between 60-70 million people watching right now, and that was the point all along. This whole thing was a stunt, to get as many of you watching as possible, and it worked! My Royal Flush Gang provided the conflict, the Justice League brought the star power, and I brought the shocking surprise ending. Everyone watching this show right now is witness to my greatest joke ever. In just over five minutes, you'll all be hopelessly, incurably insane. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': [[w:Ace (comics)|She]] can send out thought waves that can alter perception... but enough with the jargon, she can drive you crazy just by ''looking'' at you - either in person, or on TV.

But you can't look away, even though you know something is terribly wrong.

Right? :'''Hawkgirl''': ''[smiles]'' Right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''John Stewart''': You know how we feel about each other. :'''Hawkgirl''': John... :'''John Stewart''': And I know you feel the same way. :'''Hawkgirl''': It's not that simple.

An affront to any decent human aesthetic! :'''The Flash''': Oh-''kay'', I'll just take you back to prison, where you won't have to look at the ''ugly'' old sculptures anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ultra-Humanite''': You'll be happy to know, Flash, that your words - ''jejeune'' though they were - did not fall on deaf ears. I appreciate the sentiment behind them, and therefore call a truce in honor of the season. :'''The Flash''': Seriously? :'''Ultra-Humanite''': You'll have the toy to give to your young friends. I'm improving it, too. :'''The Flash''': ''[suspicious]'' It's not gonna blow up or anything? :'''Ultra-Humanite''': ''[incredulous]'' Flash. It ''is'' Christmas. :'''The Flash''': Okay, but why did you hit me? :'''Ultra-Humanite''': You hit me first.

Come close and I'll tell you a story. :'''Child 1''': Is that DJ Rubba' Ducky? :'''Child 2''': He sounds weird. :'''DJ Rubba' Ducky''': ''[in Ultra-Humanite's voice]'' Little Clara had just received a beautiful toy nutcracker from her godfather, the mysterious Herr Drosselmeyer. :'''Ultra-Humanite''': Well? An improvement, wouldn't you say? :'''The Flash''': I kinda liked it when he made the poopy noise...

Don't be too hard on yourself. You didn't know she was spoken for. :'''Green Lantern''': How did you...? :'''Batman''': It wasn't hard to figure out. The point is these things happen. You just have to accept it and move on. :'''Green Lantern''': Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :[''He starts to walk off but J'onn J'onnz (Martian Manhunter) stops him''] :'''Martian Manhunter''': Believe me, I know the pain when two people who are involved... :[''The Flash speeds up to them''] :'''Flash''': Who's involved?

Maybe they'll get tired and go home. [''Everyone looks at him''] ...Yeah, I know. But a little optimism at a time like this couldn't hurt. :'''Thanagarians''': This is the voice of the Thanagarian Occupational Authority. Your so-called Justice League is in violation of our martial law. They are to be considered an enemy and dealt with on sight. Any person found aiding or harboring them will be summarily punished. :'''Flash''': Okay, so much for optimism. :'''Batman''': For the time being, we're going to have to go underground. :'''Wonder Woman''': How exactly do we hide when the entire planet is looking for us? :'''Martian Manhunter''': They'll be looking for the Justice League. Without our costumes, we are merely ordinary citizens. ''[shifts into human form]'' :'''Flash''': Hold on a second here. What about the whole secret identity thing?

Whatever they decide in that room, in my eyes, you'll always be a hero. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flash''': No Hawkgirl. No Javelin. No Watchtower. What's gonna happen to the League now? Do we all just walk away? :'''Martian Manhunter''': No. We rebuild, starting today. :'''Superman''': J'onn's right. Earth still needs us, and we'll never let her down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Lantern''': Where are you gonna go? :'''Shayera Hol''': I don't know. Someplace where the fate of the world wasn't in my hands. Someplace where there's no more secrets, no more lies. :'''Green Lantern''': Was it all a lie? :'''Shayera Hol''': I love you, John.

Somewhere out there, all those stars and planets, there might be at this very moment a space dad who just got kicked out of his space trailer, who's looking down on us. Or would it be up at us? Or maybe sideways? :'''Malcolm''': Trust me, Dad, they're all looking down on us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey''': Mom, can I have a story? :'''Lois''': Once upon a time, there was a little boy that made his mom so crazy she decided to sell him to a circus. :'''Dewey''': An evil circus? :'''Lois''': No, a nice one with monkeys. :'''Dewey''': Thank you. === ''Sleepover'' === :'''Malcolm''': Someone stole my friend's wheelchair. :'''Security Guard''': What's it look like? :'''Malcolm''': It's a ''chair''... with ''wheels.'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Francis is hanging upside down]'' :'''Stevenson''': You are hanging over a bottomless pit.

Do you know how much it's gonna cost to fix? If you think you are ever, ever, borrowing my car again, you are sadly mistaken. And I saw that tattoo, Jimmy. I'm telling your mother. :'''Francis''': ''[flashback ends]'' And that's the stuff I didn't block out. :''[The cult realizes the scare tactic wasn't working and decides to try something new.

''[to Malcolm]'' WHERE IS HE!!! :'''Malcolm''': He came here to see Beebee. He's meeting her tonight. ''[to the camera]'' Oh my God, how did she do that? :'''Lois''': I knew it. When did you talk to him? :'''Malcolm''': Don't look at her eyes. Don't look at her... ''[Lois grabs Malcolm's head to face towards her]'' This morning and Dewey shoved a sandwich in the VCR. === ''Krelboyne Picnic'' === :'''Malcolm''': ''[about Malcolm's class picnic]'' There won't be any meat. They all decided they didn't want to eat anything that has a mother. :'''Dewey''': Cousin Nancy doesn't have a mother. :'''Lois''': That's right.

That house has to be a dude's paradise. === ''Lois vs. Evil'' === :''[Hal comes home to see Reese and Malcolm kneeling with their noses against a door.]'' :'''Hal''': Oh, hello, boys. How long are you in for? :'''Reese''': Another hour. :'''Hal''': Yeaow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''':''[Confronting Mr. Pinter]'' Yes, I guess we do. For instance, I think it's wrong for you to put your name in sales reports you didn't write. I think it's wrong you keep a bag of herbs in your bottom left drawer. I think it's wrong you slept with the district manager's wife. And you want to know something, you don't even have to worry about it because I think it's wrong to blab this kind of thing. You know you should be glad that I'm the only one who knows this stuff about you. Anyone else here would sell you down the river in a second.

Without me to blame everything on, they doesn't know what to do with themselves. :'''Malcolm''': A scapegoat, thanks. ''[He quickly hangs up and faces the screen]'' He's right. This family needs a scapegoat. I started this, so I should be the one to end it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lois had just gotten wind of Reese breaking Dewey's birthday present, thank to Malcolm taking the backpack and revealing the crushed Mighty Man toy as proof of his older brother's wrongdoing.]'' :'''Lois''': Oh my God! Was this Dewey's present? :'''Dewey''': Present? :'''Lois''': Reese, how could you? Do you know how expensive this was? HAL! :'''Hal''': I'm on it. ''[standing up and taking Reese's hockey stick]'' That was a terrible thing to do to your little brother. :'''Malcolm''':''[smug]'' There's more. He was going to bury it with Aunt Helen. :''[Lois and Hal are further disgusted with Reese.]'' :'''Hal''': You were going to make Aunt Helen spend eternity with a crushed Mighty Man. :'''Dewey''': Mighty Man?! :'''Lois''': I can't believe you. :'''Hal''': This is a whole new low, Reese. :'''Reese''':''[Attempts to stand up, but Hal and Lois forces him back on the couch]'' First of all, this is all circumstantial.

And Dewey, I'll make this easy for you to understand. ''[looks around for toys and grabs a robot and a girl doll]'' :'''Malcolm''': ''[to the camera]'' Oh, man! I still play with that. :'''Hal''': You see, there's a certain thing that happens between normal healthy people. It's called chemistry. ''[accidentally fires toy gun from the robot]'' Well, that doesn't happen, except maybe the first time. But what does happen is this. ''[imitates robot]'' "I like you!" ''[imitates girl doll]'' "I like you, too!" ''[back to normal voice]'' ... and if they love each other and take their proper precautions, they'll have sex, but I've told you that already. :'''Dewey''': ''[smiling]'' Not me. :'''Hal''': Well, ask your brothers. :''[Malcolm & Reese give disgusted looks]'' :'''Hal''': If the boy is from ''our'' family, it goes a little more like this... "I like you." "I HATE you!" "Now, I LOVE you!" "LEAVE ME ALONE! Your insane neediness is driving me away!" "Look at me! Look at me, I'm crazy! Pay attention to me! I'm an idiot, watch me crash and burn! Woop-woop-woop, whoo!" === ''Rollerskates'' === :''[Reese is seen rollerblading through the house and sitting on the couch]'' :'''Lois''': Wait a minute...somebody stepped in something...oh my God...oh my God!

You heard me. <hr width 100%> :'''Reese''': I cannot believe you said that to dad. Oh by the way if you pass Francis on your way to Siberia, tell him I said hi. :'''Malcolm''': Do you think he told mom? :'''Reese''': I wouldn't worry about that. Mom's feeling a lot better. Dr. Reese paid her a visit. :'''Malcolm''': What are you talking about? :'''Reese''':''[talking about Hal's failure to slip Lois pain medication]'' Let's just say pills and sandwich, not effective.

You listen to me, you idiot! My child is sick. He does not need you marching in here, puffing up your little chest, and making his life more miserable than it already is. Why don't you just go play "army man" somewhere else? :'''Spangler''': ''[walking away]'' God, she is magnificent. === ''Smunday'' === :'''Malcolm''': They have a fake letter.

I had to give it to the one person they'd never think I'd give it to. I did the most brilliant thing of all: I gave it to Dewey. :'''Dewey''': And I hid it under Mom's pillow. :'''Malcolm''': You WHAT?! :''[A sick Lois is seen sitting up on her bed.

Please tell me Richie has the letter. :'''Malcolm''': Richie has coupons. Mom has the letter. But like I said, it was just an accident. I swear. :'''Francis''': So the thing you were threatening to do all day but had no intention of doing you did, but didn't mean to? :'''Malcolm''': Yeah. You can yell at us now. :'''Francis''': No, I guess I deserved it. I shouldn't ratted on you. Mom was pressuring me and I folded.

Seize him! ''[Hal looks around and is startled by the Playmobil men arranged on the top of the buildings]'' :'''Hal''': All right, son. I think it's time you goose-stepped off to bed.

You, shave his butt! :'''Francis''': Mom, I'm calling to remind you that today is the last day to buy me a plane ticket home for my...''[lowers voice]'' birthday! :'''Lois''': Honey, we talked about this. We can't fly you back in the middle of the week; you'd only be here for 8 hours. :'''Francis''': But Mom-! :'''Lois''': Sweetie, I'm sorry. I wish things were different, but you were just home for Thanksgiving and that's all we can afford right now. :'''Francis''': Mom, you don't know what they do to people around here on their...''[lowers voice] birthday''! They strip you naked and they shave every hair off your body, then they throw you in the reflecting pond! Is that what you want for me?! :'''Lois''': I'm impressed, Francis. Your stories are getting better, at least more believable! :'''Francis''': What stories?! :'''Lois''': Oh, like when you wanted to come home for that party and you swore the Academy was being terrorised by a pack of feral dogs?! :'''Francis''': Which were never caught! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': You're talking about joining a cult, Reese! :'''Reese''': My name isn't Reese anymore. :'''Malcolm''': Then what is it? :'''Reese''': I don't remember, but it's not Reese! === ''Old Mrs. Old'' === :'''Mrs. Griffin''': What are you doing in my yard? <hr width 65%> :'''Lois''': ''[to Malcolm]'' At least she's not suing us. You just be thankful we have absolutely nothing of value in this house. :'''Hal''': Count your blessings, son. :'''Lois''': I talked to Mrs. Griffin. This is what's gonna happen. You are going there every day to help that poor woman until her arm heals. :'''Malcolm''': Every day?! :'''Lois''': Not one word! Every day! End of story! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': Dewey, I don't think you understand. Boys like me, we look at things like this. We see normal boy, Normal boy, and boy with the purse. Which one do you think we are going to hit? :'''Dewey''': Is one of them fat? :'''Reese''': It doesn't matter! That boy will be fat everyday. But the boy with the purse, he might not wear it again! === ''Krelboyne Girl'' === :'''Reese''': Ooh, Malcolm. Having lunch with your girlfriend? :'''Malcolm''': She's not my girlfriend. :'''Reese''': I don't know. I think I see a spark.

Well, maybe, I'll do this. :''[Cynthia grabs Reese's arm and twists it, Reese falls on the table]'' :'''Cynthia''': Now, say your body is composed entirely of snot. :'''Reese''': ''[sobbing in pain]'' My body is composed entirely of snot. :'''Cynthia''': ''[to Malcolm]'' Anything you'd like to add? :'''Malcolm''': I'm good. :''[Cynthia lets go of Reese and he walks off still in pain]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cynthia''': Looks like Lloyd and Dabney are having a pretty intense conversation.

It ''hurts''! ''Mommy''! Oww! Ow! :''[Lois calmly goes over to where Emily is biting Reese's leg, then reaches down and pinches her nose shut.]'' :'''Lois''': Now, honey, if you want to breathe, you're gonna have to open your mouth and let go of my son. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': What are you looking at? :'''Hal''': Reese's report card, it is much better than last time. :'''Lois''': Really? :'''Hal''': Yeah, this time he used the exact same brand pen as the teacher to change his grade. :'''Lois''': Look at that, he gave himself a "C" in math instead of "A+". :'''Hal''': Yeah, it's subtle, nice attention to detail. He's really learning. Two months grounded? :'''Lois''': 3 months, scrubbing toilets. === ''Hal Quits'' === :'''Craig''': Francis, I want you to count all the malt balls.

''[suddenly pauses and looks at the painting and fixes a few things and completes it]'' :'''Reese''': Awesome! :'''Lois''': Hal, I can't believe you did it. It's beautiful. :'''Hal''': ''[happily]'' I did it! === ''The Grandparents'' === [[File:Contest Entry (32275199862).jpg|thumb| You can't pick your parents. You're pretty much stuck with whoever you get. ~ Lois Wilkerson]] :'''Malcolm''': Mom, do you...do you like your parents? :'''Lois''': It doesn't matter how I feel about them. It's not like I can trade them for someone else. You can't pick your parents. You're pretty much stuck with whoever you get. :'''Malcolm''': I know. :'''Lois''': At least I can be grateful that soon they'll be gone. :'''Malcolm''': Back to their own home. :'''Lois''': Yeah... that's what I meant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': First off, I'm not here to try to sort out the complicated relationship you have with the woman I love. It's not my place. And I know it would be folly to try to put a price on the deep psychological trauma that you've caused Lois through the years. But let me take a stab at it anyway... $3,000 sound okay to you? :'''Victor''': What?! :'''Hal''': Well, that would pretty much cover the fridge, the collateral damage, pay off a few credit cards, and finally get the transmission fixed in my car. :'''Victor''': Because of what just happened, you want us to loan you $3,000? :'''Hal''': Please. I know you're uncomfortable lending to family, so let's be clear. With one phone call, I could have your asses thrown in jail for child endangerment. So, this money I'm asking for, it's not a loan. It's blackmail. :'''Ida''': He's like your brother Vaslefdt all over again. === ''Traffic Ticket'' === :'''Reese''': ''[as Lois is pulled over by a cop]'' Make a run for it, mom. We can be on the news. :'''Lois''':''[ignores Reese and pulls over]'' All right, no one makes piggy sounds! No one claims they smell bacon! And no one claims they've been kidnapped! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': Yeah, yeah, knock yourself out. My record is clean. :''[Seconds later, Lois is arrested when the cop learns that she has 16 unpaid parking tickets]'' :'''Lois''': There is no way I ''have'' 16 unpaid parking tickets. The computer's wrong. You are not getting away with this! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': I don't understand it. How can we get 16 unpaid parking tickets and not even know about it? :''[The scene switches to Francis on the phone at Marlin Academy.]'' :'''Francis''': Mom, just calm down. :'''Lois''': I was in jail, Francis. Jail, all because you didn't pay your parking tickets. How could you gotten 16 parking tickets? :'''Francis''': It's not my fault, you keep me stuck here. When I come home, I have so much living to do, I don't have time to look for legal parking. :'''Lois''': You listen mister. Your irresponsible behavior has finally caught up to you and you are going to suffer the consequences. You are paying those parking tickets. :''[After Lois tells Francis that he owes the family $747.13 for the unpaid parking tickets.]'' :'''Francis''': This is totally unfair! None of this would've happened if you weren't such a reckless driver! :'''Lois''': Excuse me?! :'''Francis''': When I park too close to a mailbox, I didn't endanger anyone's life. :'''Lois''': I didn't endanger anyone. I was pulled over by a corrupt cop for a traffic violation that I didn't commit! :'''Francis''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, but when ''I'' say I've been framed by the police, you ship me off to military school! Ironic, isn't it?! :'''Lois''': That cop was out to get me! :'''Francis''': Of course he was. Everyone's out to get you. And the neighbor's cat's the ringleader. Didn't you know that? :'''Lois''': Ha-ha, you can laugh all you want, Francis. But until you come up with the money, you are not coming home. :'''Francis''': Where am I supposed to get $700?! You're just using this to keep me here. :'''Lois''': Yeah, that's right. It was the cat's idea. === ''Surgery'' === :'''Malcolm''': Mom, my stomach hurts. :'''Reese''': So does mine! :'''Malcolm''': I'm not kidding, it's really sore. :'''Reese''': Owwwww... it hurts. :'''Malcolm''': Shut up, Reese. :'''Reese''': I see spots! Mommy! :'''Lois''': Alright! That's enough! I don't care what assignment you didn't do or what test you didn't study, you're still going to school. :'''Hal''': You know, now you mentioned it... :'''Lois''': Everybody's going! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': ''[To audience]'' Nothing like two days in the hospital to make you appreciate your own home. :''[Reese takes tub of popcorn from Malcolm.]'' :'''Reese''': Gimme that! :'''Lois''': Oh my God! Look at Malcolm's hospital bill! I can't imagine how much it would've cost if he'd actually gotten the surgery. :'''Hal''': Well, there goes our summer vacation. :'''Dewey''': So we have to pay, even though he was faking? :'''Malcolm''': I wasn't ''faking''! I was the one who found out they were wrong. :'''Reese''': Well, if you're so smart, why didn't you figure it out sooner? :''[Everyone stares at Malcolm]'' :'''Hal''': Well, son, would you like to field that one for us? :'''Malcolm''': ''[To audience]'' Nothing like ten seconds at home to make you appreciate the hospital! === ''Reese Cooks'' === :'''Hal''': Whatcha' doing there, son? :'''Malcolm''': I have to prove [[w:Kepler's laws of planetary motion|Kepler's Third Law of Motion]]. :'''Hal''': What's Dewey doing? :'''Malcolm''': Coloring. :'''Hal''': I better get in there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': Reese, do you know what empathy is? :'''Reese''': No. :'''Hal''': Well, empathy is putting yourself in other people's shoes so you can feel what they do. If you hurt someone, empathy makes you hurt as well. :'''Reese''': Then why would you want empathy? :'''Hal''': ''[turns away to Lois, stunned]'' He has no more sense of right and wrong than a tree-frog! === ''Tutoring Reese'' === :'''Lois''': Francis, I don't want to have another argument again! You are going to fix the roof! <hr width 100%> :''[upon learning that Malcolm took Reese's test for him]'' :'''Lois''': ''[to Malcolm]'' You took that test, didn't you? You cheated! ''[to Reese]'' You let him cheat for you? ''[to Mr. Woodward]'' YOU GAVE SOMETHING HE WROTE AN '''''"F"'''''?! You ''are'' out to get him! Oh, I can't wait to see you expelled or disbarred or whatever it is they do to creepy little men who abuse their power! :'''Mr. Woodward''': There is no need for name calling. I suggest we just leave things as they are. :'''Lois''': Oh, I don't ''think'' so! :'''Mr. Woodward''': Here's the situation: if you notify the school, then the school will find out Malcolm cheated and he'll be expelled. :'''Lois''': Don't you threaten me! :'''Mr. Woodward''': This isn't a threat. I just don't think you'd throw away the son who achieves for, well, Reese. :'''Lois''': ''[points to Malcolm]'' You don't think I'd sacrifice this one? Let me explain something to you. I would sell Malcolm down the river in a heartbeat to save Reese. :'''Malcolm''': What?! :'''Lois''': Malcolm's gonna be fine no matter what happens. Maybe he'll have to go to junior college or start off blue collar, but he'll work his way up to management eventually. Reese is the one who needs saving. :'''Mr. Woodward''': I don't believe you. No mother could ever be that callous to her own son. :''[Francis appears in the window, pressed against the glass, while rain pours down and lightning flashes.]'' :'''Francis''': Mom, please let me come home! I'm cold and I'm hungry! Please, I'll fix the roof, I'll paint the house! I'll do anything, Mom, please! Just let me live indoors, Mom! Please, I wanna be warm again! MOM, PLEASE! ''[sobbing]'' :''[Lois smiles victoriously. Woodward looks rather apprehensive.]'' :'''Woodward''': Maybe we can work something out. === ''Bowling'' === :'''Hal''': ''[goes back to a photo booth near the door]'' Reese, get out of the photo booth. :''[Reese peeks out just in time to see the large man that he threw a bowling ball at, intending for Malcolm, waiting for him. He inserts a dollar bill in the booth]'' :'''Reese''': You probably want your privacy. I'll get out of your way. :''[The large man pushes Reese back into the photo booth and goes inside with him. Reese is heard screaming as he is getting his ass kicked with photos to prove it.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': Check it out, Beth Ballard's here. :'''Reese''': Yeah, I heard she's the reason why Mr. Thomas got fired. :''[Lois shows up after paying for the boy's one pair of shoes and notices there are no parents around.]'' :'''Malcolm''': You can go now, thanks for the ride. :'''Lois''': Where are the parents? Are there no parents here? :'''Malcolm''': Mom, please don't.... :'''Lois''': WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?! Who's chaperoning this? :'''Reese''': Mom, we don't need a chaperone. :'''Lois''': ''[ignoring Reese]'' Ok, it's me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Dewey is faking crying in the bedroom as Lois walks by carrying a basket of clean laundry to the master bedroom.]'' :'''Lois''': Not Buying It! === ''Malcolm vs. Reese'' === :'''Francis:''' How am I ever gonna decide which one of you to take? :'''Malcolm:''' You deliberately bought two tickets just to torment us? :'''Francis:''' No. Of course not. I bought them to see who loves me the most. Now, I know you both love me, but I bet one of you loves me a little bit more. :''[Malcolm and Reese look dejected]'' :'''Francis:''' Come on, guys! It's Rage in the Cage. You should be happy! :'''Reese:''' We ''are'' happy! :'''Francis:''' You're not doing the happy dance. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Francis and his date are pulled over by a police officer.]'' :'''Officer 2''': License and registration, please. :'''Francis''': Officer, what did I do? :'''Officer 2''': This car was reported stolen. :'''Francis''': Oh, it's been reported stolen, huh? :''[He digs into his wallet to find nothing but a small slip of paper saying, "IT GETS WORSE."]'' :'''Officer 2''': I'm not gonna ask you again. License and registration. :'''Francis''': Sir, I know this looks bad... :''[Francis and the cop hear banging from inside the trunk.] :'''Officer 2''': Open the trunk, sir! :'''Francis''': Officer, let me explain... :'''Officer 2''': OPEN THE TRUNK! :''[Francis unlocks the trunk. The officer opens it and finds Malcolm and Reese lying inside, bound and gagged.]'' :'''Officer 2''': ''[drawing his gun]'' GET OUT OF THE CAR! === ''Mini-Bike'' === :'''Lois:''' What's the matter, Craig? :'''Craig:''' What does it say on this jar? :'''Lois:''' "Craig." :'''Craig:''' Well I'm glad someone around here can read. The jar holds fourteen pickles. I had three yesterday, two for lunch today, and one and a half for snack. And now there are six and a half pickles in this jar. Simple math indicates... :'''Lois:''' Are you counting the one in your hand? :'''Craig:''' Ok, false alarm. :'''Lois''':''[annoyed]'' We burned the man's house down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''':''[turns off the mini bike with the key and takes it out]'' It's no one's! What's wrong with you boys?! You aren't allowed to have a motorcycle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis''': Sir, his shirt just came untucked when he was hugging his father. You can't yell at him for hugging his father. :''[The cadet runs when Spangler turns his attention to Francis]'' :'''Hal''': Francis! :'''Commandant Spangler''': On no, I'm glad you saw this because this is exactly what I was talking about. Always underminding my authority, day in, day out. It's the same thing. Like when I made Cadet Dooley do 600 laps of the perimeter for an inside-out pillow case violation, Francis organizes a sit-in. Or when I cut off the electricity in the 5th floor for contraband boom-box, he hijacks a generator for them. The boy lives to cause chaos. :'''Francis''': He was hugging his dad! :'''Commandant Spangler''': In front of his father he still defies me at every turn. :'''Hal''': And everytime something like this happens, he challenges you. :'''Commandant Spangler''': Every time. :'''Hal''': Even though he knows he'll get in trouble. :'''Commandant Spangler''': That doesn't seem to matter to him at all. :'''Hal''': I understand. :'''Commandant Spangler''': ''[turns to Francis]'' I will deal with you, later. === ''Carnival'' === :''[The phone rings]'' :'''Hal''': Let the machine get it. :'''Francis''': Hello, it's Francis. Mom, dad, pick up. I'm in the emergency room and the doctors think they will save my leg when they... :'''Lois''': Francis, are you okay? :'''Francis''': Ha! Screening your own child. Fine parents you are. :'''Lois''': Honey, what's wrong? :'''Francis''': The fact that I have to resort to lies to get you to talk to me . That's what wrong. :'''Lois''': What do you want, Francis? :'''Francis''': I don't know, it's Saturday night. I thought I could call and say hi. :'''Lois''': Can we call you later? Dad and I are kind of busy right now. :'''Francis''': Alright, let me talk to my brothers. :'''Lois''': They're not here. :'''Francis''': Then what are you...ew...oh... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kitty''': Stevie! Stevie! Stevie! Stevie! Stevie! Stevie! Stevie!... :'''Lois''': Kitty, you have to leave a little room between your Stevies or you won't be able to hear him yell back. :'''Kitty''': I'm sorry, I'm just a little nervous. I don't have as much experience with my child being in mortal danger. :'''Lois''': Okay, just calm down. You have to focus on something positive like we're how going to punish them. :'''Kitty''': How can I focus on anything when Stevie's out there being lost and scared? :'''Lois''': I understand how you're feeling, Kitty. I'm concerned. We're all concerned. :'''Hal''': Abe, this van is a palace. How much was it? :'''Abe''': Not as much as you think. When I bought the DVD player and the flat screen monitor in the GPS system for free. :'''Kitty''': Stevie!...Stevie!... Stevie... === ''Evacuation'' === :'''Malcolm''': What are you doing with toilet paper? :'''Reese''': I got my hands on some canned fruit, I traded those for batteries, the batteries for DVDs, and I swapped those with the janitor for the school's entire supply of toilet paper. Once the "specially seasoned" meatloaf works its magic, I can name my price. :'''Malcolm''': You know, that's not only unbelievably evil, but you actually put some thought and effort into it. I'm impressed. :'''Reese''' Something about people being miserable and suffering brings out the best in me. Thanks for noticing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey''': We're sorry we left the couch on the railroad tracks and wrecked the train. <hr width 50%> :'''Guard''': Do not set foot outside this area. Not one foot! :'''Hal''': I would just like to get one thing clear. When we go home, you fellas are still gonna be a presence in the community, right? :'''Guard''': If I wasn't in uniform, I'd take a swing at you myself. === ''Flashback'' === :'''Reese''': Ha ha. Stupid bug. :''[Reese touches the bug zapper]'' :'''Reese''': OW! OW! YOU STUPID...

Go to your room! ==Season 3== === ''Houseboat'' === :'''Lois''': ''[After Hal gets arrested and Malcolm refusing to help his father while talking to a girl]'' Do you realize how close your father came to being a registered sex offender?! A registered sex offender! And for what? For some trampy girl? For... :'''Malcolm''': Mom, please. I feel terrible. I completely understand what I did. I sold out my own father for a girl. It's the worst thing I've ever done. We both agree, I'm a terrible person. :'''Lois''': For some girl you don't even know! Who wouldn't give you the time of day! That's the gratitude you showed your father. :'''Reese''': Hey, maybe I'm the good one after all. ''[Giving a glass of tea to Lois]'' Here, mom, for your throat. I put a little honey in it. :'''Lois''': That man gets one vacation a year and this is how you start it. ''[Phone rings]'' You go and make it right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': ''[on the phone with Francis]'' Absolutely not, Francis. :'''Francis''': You're not listening, I could make $45 an hour. That more than what you or dad make. :'''Lois''': You are going to graduate from high school. :'''Francis''': Why spend the tuition? It's a total waste of money and we both know I'm failing. ''[All is quiet for a moment.]'' Okay, now we both know. :'''Lois''': Francis, you are going to stay in school until you graduate and that's all there is to it and if you FLUNK OUT then that's just another year you're stuck there. :'''Francis''': You just can't stand the fact that i'll be making more MONEY THAN YOU! (slams the phone into the wall, it drops on his foot causing him to scream and pain and bump into the trophy case) whew that was close. (the trophy case loses a leg and falls on Francis). <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''':''[looking at a letter concerning Francis]'' Oh my GOD!!!! :'''Hal''': What is it? :'''Lois''': It's Francis. He quit school. He's on his way to Alaska! :'''Hal''': That's impossible. He can't take himself out of school. He has to have our permission. :'''Lois''': No, he doesn't! ''[Shows Hal and the boys a legal document]'' He got himself legally emancipated! === ''Emancipation'' === :''[The Krelboynes are discussing their new teacher]'' :'''Stevie''': What...a jerk! :'''Lloyd''': Is that what we're going to turn out like?

We made sacrifice after sacrifice for you and you've caused us nothing but pain! :'''Francis''': You want pain?! I got your scars, baby; three and a half years in that horrible school! :'''Lois''': We went without for that school! :'''Francis''': ''[sarcastic]'' Oh, maybe I should thank you? Thank you, Mother, for making my life A LIVING HELL! :''[Hal escorts boys go back inside the house.

I guess next time I go out, I'll have to chain you to the floor and tie you in the oven. You don't even pretend to listen.

I'm going to wash my face and when I come to work tomorrow, I'm going to do the same extraordinarily good job I've been doing all these years. I'm going to do it in my 99-cent mascara and if the mood strikes me, a hair clip, and that's it. And if that's not good enough for you, so be it. Thank you. ''[Lois leaves.

You use this as a wheel-stop? This beautiful, sacred thing? :'''Inuit Man''': Sacred? It's a decoration, like a coat of arms or a story book. It's a pretty chunk of wood that my kids helped me carve on a nice Saturday afternoon. :'''Francis''': But you can't tell me you can't feel the energy! :'''Inuit Man''': You white boys are all the same.

How long before some government scientist picks him up and surgically attaches him to some animal? === ''Stereo Store'' === :'''Reese''': What do we need a babysitter for? :'''Hal''': Because I want the house to be where I left it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': Dewey, what are you eating? :'''Dewey''': Carrot sticks.

We get into a giant, stupid fight every time we work on the will. :'''Lois''': Hal, the last time we tried this was 10 years ago. :'''Hal''': And it lead to a fight. You called me thin skinned and overly sensitive. === ''Reese's Party'' === :'''Reese''': Have fun in school today, suckers! I'll send ya a postcard from Whitehorse. :'''Malcolm''': Reese, figure it out. It takes 26 hours to get to Canada and 26 hours to get back. Your backpack is full of food, and no one ever called Grandma. :'''Reese''': ''[thinks]'' Wait a minute! I'm spending the entire weekend on this bus? :''[Malcolm and Dewey waves farewell to Reese as the bus drives off.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Donnie's Mom''': DONNIE! :''[Donnie is taken by surprise when his mother appears before him next to Dewey.]'' :'''Donnie''': Mom, wha... what are you doing here? :'''Donnie's Mom''': Trying to hide how ashamed I am at your behavior and wondering where I went wrong. :'''Donnie''': Mom, come on. :'''Donnie's Mom''': Your father and I tried to give you the best life possible and this is how we're paid back. :'''Donnie''': Mom, you don't own me. I make my own decisions. :'''Donnie's Mom''': These are the decisions you make. This is the life you choose. Who's covering your shift at the Suit Outlet. :'''Dave''':''[smug]'' Dude, you are so busted!!!! :''[Dave starts laughing shortly until his mother arrives. Francis, Reese and Malcolm are smug watching the whole thing.]'' :'''Dave's Mom''': Don't you be so smug, David Alan Ferguson. Believe me, every one of your step-fathers with hear about this. :'''Donnie's Mom''': You say good-bye to your friends and you get in the car, RIGHT NOW!!! :''[Donnie and Dave leaves with their mothers.

Remember? A job, people, a life? :'''Leonard''': But why here? :'''Malcolm''': Because this is the only guy I know that would trade a job interview for a [[w:Hong Kong Phooey|Hong Kong Phooey]] lunchbox. :'''Lois''': I'm Because I Need To Stop Gaining Weight I've Turned Into A Gigantic Fat Cow. :'''Hal''':Oh You Have Not. :'''Lois''': Even The Doctor Said So. :'''Hal''' You're Eating For Two Now What Kind Of Doctor Doesn't Know That? === ''Baby (Part 1)'' === :'''Lois''': Ow! The baby just started kicking like crazy. It's almost like something was upsetting...''[looks up and sees Ida at the window]'' Mom! :'''Ida''': Are you gonna open the door?!

Who opened the Gates of Hell? <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Ida declares her intention to move in]'' :'''Francis''': This is ridiculous! You have a condo, it's nicer than this house! :'''Ida''': It burned down. :'''Lois''': Mom, you can't - How did your house burn down? :'''Francis''': It was the villagers, wasn't it? :''[Ida flicks a lit cigarette onto the couch]'' :'''Ida''': It's a mystery. :'''Lois''':(something breaks) Oh, for God’s sake, what was that?!

We're all trying to find ways to cope with this! :'''Lois''': Yes, Francis. I'm trying to cope with this pregnancy BY GIVING BIRTH! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': Oh, my God, women are the cows of people! === ''Day Care'' === :'''Dewey''': Like Pastor Roy said, how God is so much bigger and wiser than us, and trying to see what He's thinking would be like an ant trying to see what I'm thinking. :'''Teacher''': Yes, exactly. But we can trust in His wisdom, and have faith that He is watching over us. :'''Dewey''': Like me with the anthill in my backyard. I spent days watching the ants, trying to figure out which ones were good, and which ones were bad, but they all just looked like ants, so I started smiting all of them. :'''Teacher''': Well that's not... :'''Dewey''': I was smiting them with the garden hose, and with lighter fluid, and with the lawnmower, and to be perfectly honest, I think I went a little crazy with the shovel. Those ants could have been praying to me all day, I wouldn't have heard them. There was nothing they could do about it. :'''Teacher''': But, I don't think... :'''Dewey''': Really, it's the same with us. There's nothing we can do about anything either, so why worry about it? Hey, this is making me feel better. :'''Teacher''': Well, that's...good, but... :'''Dewey''': I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much kindness and decency as possible, and try not to dwell on God standing over us with a giant shovel. Bye! :''[Leaves Teacher wondering, and looking up worrying about God's "giant shovel"]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Francis and a rival member from another ranch are arrested by the government.]'' :'''Agent''': The United States Government is not happy with the level of interest you created in this sector. :'''Francis''': But what's the harm in pretending I'm from another planet? I mean all that stuff of UFOs about abductions and cavity probes, that's all made up, right. :'''Agent''': ''[looks at his partner for a second]'' Yes, there are no aliens, but there are cavity probes. ==Season 5== === ''Vegas'' === :'''Boone Vincent''': The here and now is a special, special gift. That's why I call it "the present". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Otto''': No one expects you to be perfect.

So now we're gonna go to this party and make out with you guys in front of those inconsiderate jerks. :'''Malcolm''': You want to make them jealous? :'''Joanne''': No, we want to make them puke! See, once they see us kissing losers like you guys, they're never gonna live it down. :'''Malcolm''': You came over to our house and asked us out because we were the most disgusting guys you could find? :'''Limo Driver''': Actually, some kid with a hunch back and gills turned them down. Said he had too much pride. <hr width=50%/> :'''Reese''': These girls want to fool around with us. :'''Malcolm''': Only because we're losers. :'''Reese''': Hey. We're riding in a limo we didn't pay for. We're about to make out with hot girls who don't even like us. I don't know what we are, but we are not losers. :'''Malcolm''': Have you even thought about where this is going? Her boyfriend is Aaron Stepanovich. If he sees you kissing his girlfriend, he's gonna kill you! :'''Reese''': I know. :'''Malcolm''': Then why are you... :'''Reese''': Because anything's better than the way things are now! Look, I've had this cute lab partner in science for eight weeks now. Her name is Cheryl. I finally left Cheryl a note on her desk asking her out. And when she read it, she turned to me and said: "Do you know who Reese is?" So then she goes, "Does ANYBODY know who Reese is?", and everybody shrugged. So then I said, "Probably some nobody". And you know what? I was right. :'''Limo Driver''': Wow, that's awful, kid. You want to wear my hat? :'''Reese''': So tonight, I'm gonna fix that. From now on, when I walk by, people are gonna say, "What happened to that guy's face?". And someone's gonna say, "That's Reese. He made out with Aaron Stepanovich's girlfriend."

Probably a minority. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': The whole neighborhood hates us so much that they throw a giant celebration just because we're gone. :'''Lois''': Malcolm, that's not news. I'm just surprised they're so organized. === ''Dirty Magazine'' === :'''Malcolm''': ''[explaining the school magazine's editorial policy]'' Nothing gets rejected. It doesn't matter how self-involved or boring or childish or stupid or painful it is. If it can be stapled, it's in. <hr widith=50%/> :'''Lois''': The principal of your school called. He said you filed a [[lawsuit]] so you could destroy the school. :'''Malcolm''': That's a total lie.

That's not going to bother me. :'''Angela''': Oh, yeah? My family is unbelievably intrusive, overbearing, controlling and humiliating. :'''Malcolm''': You're talking to the right guy. === ''Reese's Apartment'' === :''[Hal is speaking in angry gibberish]'' :'''Lois''': ''[looks at Hal]'' Was that "scramble" or "strangle"? :'''Reese''': What are you guys talking about? :'''Lois''': You know what we're talking about! Last week, you... :''[The scene changes]'' :'''Reese''': I can name Third World countries where stuff like that happens all the time! :'''Lois''': What am I going to do with you, Reese?! I don't want to say this is a new low, because every time I do, you take it as a personal challenge! <hr width="50%"/> :''[after finding out how Reese paid for his new apartment]'' :'''Lois''': Reese, I really owe you some thanks for giving me some faith in myself. The next few days, I will be saying very little. I will be deciding on a punishment. Ideas are already popping into my mind, it's really very exciting! But I don't want to get hasty and leave either of us feeling dissatisfied! :''[Hal opens the door, Lois drags Reese out by his ear.]'' :'''Reese''': Ow! Are you going to drag me all the way home?! :'''Hal''': Well, we're taking your ear there. If the rest of you wants to come, that's fine, too. === ''Malcolm Visits College'' === :'''Lois''': No more junk food. From now on, we are going to be a family that eats healthy. :'''Hal''': Brownie? Mmm. <hr width 100%> :'''Piano Manager''': What the hell are you doing back there?! These pianos are for paying customers only! You're wearing out the keys! Hey! <hr width 90%> :'''Lois''': Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? :'''Malcolm''': Because I'm supposed to be doing this stuff on my own. :'''Lois''': I'm just here to make sure you do it on your own the right way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': Wait a second! You guys are talking about college for Malcolm and not me? I'm a year older than he is. Why aren't you taking me to look at colleges? :'''Hal''': Well...son... :'''Reese''': ''[Laughs]'' I'm just screwing with you! Relax! <hr width 70%> :'''Otto''': So I went to the store and got those cookies, and I brought three cases of old-fashioned hard lemonade. :'''Francis''': Hard lemonade? That has alcohol in it! :'''Otto''': Yes, Francis. I said there was a problem. <hr width 75%> :'''Otto''': Those parents trusted me with the little ones, until I've poisoned them! What kind of a monster am i? <hr width 80%> :'''Leland''': Oh, wait, there are no other mothers here. You just cost this floor their electricity privileges. <hr width 85%> :'''Malcolm''': And you know what, I want my candy than I want my next breath. I have a plan! :'''Lois''':''[yelling]''Malcolm, what are you doing?! :'''Malcolm''': My plan! :'''Lois''': Well, get your foot out of the door! :'''Malcolm''': I can't. It's stuck! === ''Polly in the Middle'' === :''[Reese is burning ants with a magnifying glass]'' :'''Reese''': ''[to an ant]'' Looking for a little picnic, huh? Looks like you've come to the wrong place! :'''Malcolm''': There's one on your hand. :'''Reese''': Ha ha! ''[aims the searing pinpoint of light from magnifying glass at his own hand]'' You've got a little surprise coming! Stupid ant... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Polly''': Thanks so much for inviting me. I really needed something to take my mind off my love life. :'''Hal''': Well, that's why God invented baseball,... and war. === ''Dewey's Special Class'' === :'''Malcolm''': ''[horrified]'' They put you in with the Buseys? :'''Dewey''': ''[sarcastically]'' Yeah, it's real interesting! Today, we learned about our greatest enemies: Mr Matches and Mr Talk-out-of-turn! ''[angrily]'' Oh, and I also got to see a crane lower a flight simulator into the Krelboyne class! :'''Malcolm''': Oh, my God! Does Mom know? :'''Dewey''': You're still alive... so, no. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': Good night, Fred and Ginger. :'''Craig Feldspar''': I thought it was Fred and Barney. <hr width 60%> :''[Malcolm tries to keep Dewey out of the Krelboyne class.]'' :'''Malcolm''': ''[to Dewey]'' Trust me, I'm the good brother. I'm the one who cares about you. :'''Dewey''': But you beat me up and make fun of me. :'''Malcolm''': Only when you're being annoying. Dewey, I'm serious. How can I make you understand? The coolest person in the class... was me! :'''Dewey''': Okay, I'll do it. === ''Experiment'' === :'''Malcolm''': This is important. Restriction enzymes are used for chromosome mapping, DNA testing, gene splicing. It's for a big national competition. If we win this, our paper will be published in a scientific journal. We'll probably be able to write out ticket to any college in the country. :'''Stevie''': Then everyone... will pay. :'''Malcolm''': Only our incubator keeps breaking down. Plus, we're running low on agar, we're completely out of blood, our yeast keeps getting contaminated. :'''Reese''': Maybe I can help. :'''Malcolm''': That's okay, Reese. If we need a head caught in a wastepaper basket, we'll give you a call. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': I gave him some food coloring and told him they were chemicals. :'''Reese''': Guys! I made an incredible discovery! When you mix together blue and yellow, you get an entirely new color! ''[Holds up a test tube full of green liquid]'' I shall call it...blellow! === ''Victor's Other Family'' === :'''Ida''': I just remembered, tomorrow I'm getting waxed. <hr width 90%> :'''Malcolm''': You know what else is strange? :'''Lois''': What? :'''Malcolm''': Have you heard a bird or a cricket or anything in the last two minutes? :'''Lois''': No, everything has gone quiet as a graveyard. :''[Lois and Malcolm turn around and gets scared to see an enraged Ida at Sylvia's doorstep]''' :'''Ida''': JUDAS!!!!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sylvia''': Ida, I think you should know that besides the restraining order, I have a knitting needle. All right, it's a crochet hook. :'''Ida''': Listen to me, tough guy. I know about Victor's other pension. Victor worked for Paragon Brush from 1960 to 1964. Manitoba law states as common-law wife, I am entitled to that pension. :'''Sylvia''': I really don't know what you're talking about. :'''Ida''': The truth will burst out of the grave and strangle you and your whole family. :'''Lois''': ''[walks towards Ida; in a sotto voice]'' Mother, we'll discuss this later. If you don't turn around and leave, so help me God, I'll rip the wig of your head and everyone will see your TICK SCARS! :''[Ida and Lois faces each other momentarily.]'' === ''Reese Joins the Army (Part 1)'' === :'''Lois''': Can he at least put some pants on? <hr width 65%> :'''Reese''': I just stopped thinking. I figured out that using my brain was the whole problem. Not just here, but my entire life. If I do exactly what I'm told and nothing else, then everything gets easy. It's not even a question of smart or dumb. You just turn yourself into a tool. I'm much happier that way. I'm the world's happiest tool. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': Haven't you finished paying these bills yet? :'''Hal''': How am I supposed to know which ones to blow off? "Ultimate Final Notice" is obviously more serious than "Absolute Final Notice," but pink is angrier than yellow, and this one's still saying, "Please." === ''Reese Joins the Army (Part 2)'' === :'''Francis''':''[shows Malcolm a legal document.]'' Malcolm, we need to talk. I know we've been avoiding this, but it's time to face facts. You need to forge Dad's signature declaring Mom mentally incompetent. That way when Dad goes to jail, you can get emancipated and I'll take custody of Dewey and Jamie. :'''Dewey''': Strange, I always figured Mom for jail and Dad for the loony bin. Life, huh? :'''Malcolm''': I can't fake Dad's signature. I do Mom, Reese does Dad. :'''Francis''': What?!? You should each be able to do both! What did I tell you about building a little redundancy into the system? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': Lois, we won the case! Now we can get our lives back to the way they were. :'''Lois''': ''[getting angry]'' You didn't work on Fridays? After all the sacrifices I made for this family. For 15 years, I worked double shifts, drove carpools, cleaned the house, while you were FEEDING SHAMU!!! :'''Hal''': Actually, it's Keiko 2. He's smaller, but you get just as wet in the front row. It's a really good show. Let's go. We should see it sometime. == Season 6 == === ''Reese Comes Home'' === :'''Malcolm''': The Army. What do you expect from people who would give Reese a gun? :'''Lois''': Oh, that's right, it's the Army's fault that your brother gets killed. :'''Hal''': Now Lois, we can't blame Malcolm for stealing Reese's girl and causing this whole mess in the first place. :'''Malcolm''': Huh? :'''Hal''': Kids his age are nothing but raging hormones and hideous self-involvement. They are all immoral little creeps. :'''Lois''': Don't defend him, Hal. Just help me make dinner. :'''Dewey''': Great, angry meatloaf. Thanks a lot. :'''Malcolm''': ''[to audience]'' I don't have to worry about Reese. All he has to do is lay low and not do anything stupid... Oh, God. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Malcolm and Dewey show their lists of "Mean Things Reese Did" to each other]'' :'''Malcolm''': "Lighter Fluid Donut." That's worse than stealing a girlfriend, right? :'''Dewey''': I don't know. Were you in love for the first time with that donut? :'''Malcolm''': Shut up, Dewey! I had every right. In fact, I owe him! :'''Dewey''': So you're saying if he dies, then you'll be even? :'''Malcolm''': I didn't say he was going to die! :'''Dewey''': Malcolm, he almost killed himself with Bisquick once. :'''Malcolm''': I'm just saying he deserves whatever he gets. ''[Sighing]'' No, he doesn't. That's something that Reese would say. I'm not Reese. Just because he's horrible doesn't mean I have to be. I'm better than that. :'''Dewey''': Wow, for a brother-killer, you sure are conceited. === ''Buseys Run Away'' === :'''Hal''': Wow! You guys are huge! And shiny! :'''Bodybuilder''': Thanks mister, but we can always be huger and shinier! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': What are you trying to do? :'''Reese''': Mom hasn't made you do any of the crap she's made us do. Why's she being so nice to you? :'''Dewey''': Because for the last three days, I haven't done anything wrong. You see, Mom doesn't yell and scream at us because it's the only way she knows how to talk; she does it because we do stuff that's bad. And if you don't do anything, she doesn't get mad at you. You understand? It's not her, it's us. :''[pause]'' :'''Malcolm''': Fine, don't tell us. === ''Standee'' === :''[Hal walks by a large pile of garbage on his lawn]'' :'''Dewey''': ''[muffled yelling]'' Dad! :'''Hal''': Dewey? :'''Dewey''': Daaaaaad! :'''Hal''': Dewey? Where are you? :'''Dewey''': I don't know! My garbage fort collapsed! :'''Hal''': Can you breathe? :'''Dewey''': Yes. But I don't want to! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Malcolm sees an embarrassing picture of himself dressed like a hula dancer at Lois' station at the Lucky Aide]'' :'''Malcolm''': What's that? :'''Lois''': Hmmm? :'''Malcolm''': I threw that picture away! :'''Lois''': Oh, we still have the negative. It reminds me of the old you, back when you still knew right from wrong. :'''Malcolm''': Just because I'm not doing what you want doesn't mean you can humiliate me! :'''Lois''': Humiliate you? You mean there's an offensive image on display in the store? :'''Customer''': My son used to love to play dress-up just like that. Give him a call. ''[She hands Malcolm a paper with his phone number and winks at him]'' :'''Malcolm''': Take that down! :'''Lois''': Gee, I'm not doing what you want. You're not doing what I want. Maybe we should bring Mr. Kushell into this, since he's the only one whose opinion you seem to care about. :''[Several minutes later, Lois is forced to remove the picture as Malcolm reads the store's rule book with Kushell standing beside him]'' :'''Malcolm''': No employee may display personal items at his or her workspace. Don't worry, Mom. It only added a day to your probation. :'''Shirley''': ''[Another employee forced to remove her cross]'' I'm sorry, God. You're against the rules here. :'''Craig''': ''[sobbing while rolling up a motivational poster]'' I don't know who I am any more! === ''Pearl Harbor'' === :'''Jessica''': ''[as she walks in]'' So the stupid cops let my dad off with ''another'' warning! We've lived in this neighborhood for three weeks now and they still haven't carted him off yet! :'''Reese''': No! Jessica, you don't get to keep barging in here like you own the place! Go back outside and knock...and then go away! :'''Jessica''': ''[pauses, then continues as if nothing has happened]'' Seriously, what do you have to do to get popped for drunk and disorderly around here? He was out on the curb in his underpants, rolling burning trash cans into the street! :'''Malcolm''': ''[aside to the camera]'' The sad thing is, we're ''still'' the worst family on this block! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': You know that jerk across the road who's got it in for me? :'''Dewey''': Which one? 'Parking Jerk' or 'Lawnmower Jerk'? :'''Hal''': No! 'Christmas Jerk', Bill Randall! Every year that guy waits to see what Christmas decorations I put out and then finds a way to top it. I string lights, he strings better lights. I put out Frosty, he puts out an elf village. I put out Dracula, he does nothing and I look like a jackass! I mean, what kind of sick mind uses a religious holiday as a weapon?! :'''Dewey''': Wait, which one's 'Call the Cops Jerk'? :'''Hal''': That's like ''four'' of them! === ''Kitty's Back'' === :'''Abe''': Thank you so much for letting us be a part of Dewey's birthday. You're enjoying your special day, son? :'''Dewey''': I expect nothing, and I'm still let down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Abe''': Even though the mashed potatoes are not supposed to come with the duck, cram them in there anyway whether the duck likes it or not. :'''Waiter''': Ma'am? :'''Lois''': The beef. Even though it's the carrots that are the problem, I'd like to exclude the broccoli. :'''Waiter''': That may work as a metaphor, ma'am, but you're really screwing up your entree. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': Reese, your punishment isn't over until that bathroom floor is so clean you'll be eating off it. Which is what you'll be doing for the next three weeks. And get rid of that thing, it's disgusting. :'''Reese''':''[offended]'' Disgusting?! If Malcolm made another him out of hair, you'd be throwing a parade for him, right now. :''[The vacuum sucks up Reese's peeled skin suit]'' :'''Reese''': [shrieks] Noooooo. :'''Lois''': It just took it. :'''Reese''': That could've been me. ''[unplugs the vacuum]'' I need five minutes alone with the vacuum. ''[takes the vacuum and leaves]'' === ''Hal's Christmas Gift'' === :'''Dewey''': Reese just came up with the most fun thing to do. Riding your bike through the graveyard. With your eyes closed. He smashed into this one gravestone, flew through the air, hit another gravestone, and landed in an open grave! :'''Reese''': Lying in that hole was surprisingly peaceful. I no longer fear death. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': You're the ones that turned your mother into a ticking time bomb. You just thank your lucky stars that she went off on an [[innocent]] [[bystander]]. === ''Hal Sleepwalks'' === :'''Malcolm''': It's a good thing you weren't [[John Lennon]]'s mother. :'''Lois''': If I were John Lennon's mother, he'd still be alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': ''[singing]'' No one knows just what I've been through. I can't stop the pain inside me. Now I'm staring out my window. Children play, they seem so happy. Why are we here going nowhere? Why does my life feel so empty? :'''Dewey''': ''[singing]'' Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow. Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow! :'''Malcolm''': What are you doing? :'''Dewey''': That's the "Meow Mix" song. === ''Lois Battles Jamie'' === :'''Lois''': ''[about Jamie]'' He is absolutely the worst kid we've ever had. :'''Hal''': Oh, you say that with every kid. Let's face it, Lois, it's just the hand we were dealt. God doesn't like us. That doesn't make us bad people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey''': Jamie tries to kill Mom and we're the ones who have to clean it up?! You want to tell me how that's fair?! :'''Malcolm''': You've got to give the kid some credit. It's the closest any of us actually ever came. :'''Dewey''': Jamie wasn't really spawned by Satan, was he? :'''Malcolm''': No. If he was, we'd have a way better house. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': (to Jamie) you do not pinch, you do not poke, you do not bite, you do not spit, you do not eye-gouge, you do not vomit intentionally on other babies! (carried Jamie over to Malcolm, Dewey & Reese) A Lifetime ban from Gymboree, A LIFETIME BAN! (lois slams the door). === ''Malcolm's Car'' === :'''Reese''': You are going to be so proud of me. :'''Malcolm''': Why? :'''Reese''': I spent the last five nights in a chat room reeling in this creep named Heinrich. I got his address and showed up at his house with a printed transcript of our conversations. He calls me "Sugarbuns" fifteen times on nine separate occasions. :'''Malcolm''': Reese... :'''Reese''': So, the guy starts crying, "What about my wife? What about my kids? I'll do anything." Entrapment. It's not just for police anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': ''[about Reese's latest scheme]'' Wow! Blackmailing a pervert to facilitate underage gambling. How could this not work out? === ''Billboard'' === :''[After Lois has noticed the boys about to deface a billboard]'' :'''Lois''': ''[on the ground]'' OH MY GOD! :'''Dewey''': Did you guys hear something? :'''Lois''': What are you boys doing up there?! :'''Malcolm''': It's Mom! ''[the boys try to flatten themselves against the billboard]'' :'''Dewey''': How'd she know where to find us!? :'''Reese''': I told you she's got tracking devices in our fillings! If you two geniuses had ripped them out like I did, we wouldn't be in this mess! :'''Dewey''': Maybe she didn't see us. :'''Lois''': ''[Yelling at the boys in the parking lot]'' Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, you get down here this instant! :'''Reese''': ''[bad Spanish accent]'' Misses, I don't know who you thinking we are. Your boys are very different boys than we are being. :''[the light turns on the stripper billboard; the boys back up and Lois rolls her eyes]'' :'''Reese''': ''[afraid]'' Where's the back door for this thing? :'''Malcolm''': ''[scared]'' It's a billboard! :'''Dewey''': ''[terrified]'' We're so dead. This time she'll finish us! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': Check out that pig! :'''Dewey''': You don't have to talk about them like that. They've been really nice to us. :'''Malcolm''': Yeah, they really believe in this stuff. :'''Reese''': That is such a load. Every woman down there is just here because they're jealous. :'''Malcolm''': Of what? :'''Reese''': Of the fact that they're not hot enough to be strippers. They act like they're all offended, but really they're just mad about their own giant butts. Believe me, in their heart of hearts, every woman wants to be her. ''[Points to the billboard girl]'' :'''Malcolm''': What about Mom? :'''Reese''': We're not talking about moms. We're talking about women. :'''Malcolm''': So all women want to be strippers? There are no women in the world who want to be doctors or lawyers, or anything like that? :'''Reese''': Cut the act, Malcolm. They can't hear you. Just because they look like dogs doesn't mean they hear like dogs. :'''Dewey''': I'm sleeping on the other side. ''[He and Malcolm move away from him]'' :'''Reese''': Come on, I was just being honest! ''[Scoffs]'' So whipped! === ''Dewey's Opera'' === :'''Lois''': Hal, get in this bed and go to sleep! :'''Hal''': ''[grabbing a pillow and blanket]'' Oh, I'll sleep. I'll sleeep where I'm wanted. :''[Goes over to the couch as Dewey continues to compose music.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[At the Buseys classroom, Dewey is performing his music.]'' :'''Zoe''': ''[playing Lois and singing] Are you coming back to bed? Or should I just order a crib for you. :'''Hanson''': ''[playing Hal and singing]'' I'm not coming back. I don't like to be where I'm not wanted, especially if it's on a big, giant bed. === ''Living Will'' === :''[Hal and Lois sit in front of a fireplace looking through photos]'' :'''Lois:''' Oh, I remember this! This is Reese's fifth birthday! :'''Hal:''' And this must be Christmas that same year. :''[The viewer sees an X-ray showing a candy cane stuffed five inches into the nasal cavity, hook-first]'' :'''Lois:''' He grew up so fast! :'''Hal:''' Oh, he sure did. Here's Malcolm's first day at school. :''[The viewer sees another X-ray of the pelvic region with a toy truck in between the hips]'' :'''Lois:''' Remember when we lost Dewey at the flea market? :''[The viewer sees yet another X-ray of the chest region with a wristwatch embedded in the middle of it]'' :'''Hal:''' ''[holds out wrist]'' Still keeps great time. :'''Lois:''' Want to go through the arrest reports? :'''Hal:''' I'll pour some more wine. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lois has just picked up a paralyzed Hal from the hospital and brought him home, concerning the boys.]'' :'''Malcolm''': What's wrong with him? :'''Lois''': The doctors call it Hysterical Conversion Disorder. It's like a sematic. Apparently he's paralyzed from the waist up. :'''Malcolm''': The waist up?! :''[Lois is frustrated as Hal moves around, clearly in distress]'' :'''Reese''': Dad, what is it? :''[Lois taps his head and he immediately calms down. He begins petting her leg with his foot.]'' :'''Dewey''': I think he's thanking you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Hal continues pretending to have Hysterical Conversion Disorder as he continues using his feet and rips off sheets of toilet paper]'' :'''Lois''': It's been four days, Hal. I tried to be patient, but this has gone one long enough. You have to snap out of it. Look I admit you've been resourceful and you've learned to do so many things. And the sex has been interesting. :''[She walks in as Hal is now using his feet to put toothpaste on his to his toothbrush]'' :'''Lois''': But you can't go on living like this. Don't think I don't know what this is all about. You're trying to avoid making this decision. This isn't going to work and frankly this is beneath you. It's the coward's way out, Hal. You don't think I don't like a paralyzed vacation. Everyone waiting on me hand and foot. You know what? It doesn't work that way. You can't keep making up ridiculous illnesses to get out of what you don't want to do. :''[sees Hal pulling out a long thread of dental floss to floss his teeth]'' :'''Lois''': Oh for God's sake. Do you have any idea how insane you're acting? I'm just glad your boys aren't here to see this. :''[sees Hal raise his feet to floss his teeth]''' :'''Lois''': Oh Hal, you changed Jamie's diapers with those feet. :''[she leaves disgusted]'' === ''Tiki Lounge'' === :'''Hal''': We have to be home by 9:30. The babysitter said her halfway house goes into lockdown at 10:00. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': Mom, if you never made it to the store, then what are we eating? :''[Everybody pauses and looks at Lois]'' :'''Lois''': I don't know, something from the fridge. === ''Ida loses a Leg'' === :''[Dewey tries to recover his grandmother's leg.]'' :'''Dewey''': ''[on the phone]'' Hello, Pathology? Yes, this is Judy Green from Dr. Weiss' office. I'm calling about the chop-and-drop he did Thursday on the old lady... Listen, Dr. Weiss thinks he may have left his wedding ring in that leg... He was pretty hammered... Yeah, ''again.'' So anyway, we need to get that leg out of there before the lawyers come around and do their Monday-morning quarterbacking. You know what instead of the usual place, why not send it to my house. I'll give you the address. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''':''[bringing Francis back when he tries to leave]'' Get back in here, we are not having this argument again. :'''Ida''': Let him go. ''[about Dewey]'' It's the little one who owes me his life. :'''Francis''': See? Even she thinks so. :'''Lois''': Francis, everyone else in this family either has school or a job. So you're staying here and helping your grandmother. :'''Ida''': I DON'T NEED HELP!!! Look at him, he's got nothing in between his legs and he manages. :'''Francis''': If you think I'm beyond punching you, you're totally wrong. :'''Ida''': Of course you'd hit a cripple. You couldn't get a white girl to marry you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lois is frustrated that Francis and Ida have continued fighting.]'' :'''Francis''': I don't care if knew the end of that Star Trek episode. I didn't and you ruined it. You can't let anyone be happy! :'''Ida''': Shut up, Monkey! Anyone with half-a-brain could see the rocks were alive!!! === ''Chad's Sleepover'' === :'''Reese''': ''[to Malcolm]'' Oh my god, I'm as unpopular as you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pizza Guy''': ''[to Hal]'' Oh, wait. This was supposed to be 12336. ''[looks at Hal]'' I bet you feel like a jackass. === ''No Motorcycles'' === :''[Malcolm, Reese and Dewey are being menaced by a thug, but they don't know who he's after]'' :'''Dewey''': God, he looks mad. Which one of us do you think he wants? :'''Malcolm''': Reese, it's obviously you. That must have been his bike you super-glued to the train tracks! :'''Reese''': We don't know that! You were pretty fast and loose with that dog-crap slingshot the other day! How do you know you didn't hit him? :'''Malcolm''': ''[looks at Dewey]'' What about ''you''? How many people did you convince to buy those algebra pills? :'''Dewey''': You know, our lives would be a lot easier if we didn't all pull this crap at the same time! :'''Reese''': I suggested a rotating calendar years ago and you guys ignored me. And here we are! === ''Butterflies'' === :'''Malcolm''': ''[slamming his head against a locker]'' At what age do you just accept that your life is a piece of rotten garbage and always will be?! :'''Craig''': 22. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': ''[on Reese's attachment to the caterpillars]'' Crap, I'm too late. You bonded with them, didn't you?! Well welcome to ''my'' world! Now you're stuck with feelings of unjustified love for a bunch of mindless, ungrateful eating machines! Ha, ha, see how ''you'' like it! At least yours'll be dead in a month. :'''Reese''': Then I can keep them? :'''Hal''': Throw them under the tarp with the old Playboys. And you'd better be a sullen jerk to me in front of your mother so she doesn't get wise! === ''Ida's Dance'' === :'''Lois''': ''[about Ida]'' She's lost her mind. She thinks she's back in her old village. I have to go up there. :'''Hal''': Why? :'''Lois''': Hal, she has one leg, she's demented, she could wander out on the freeway. :'''Hal''': I thought we had agreed we'd take no extraordinary measures to prolong her life! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': Well, I'm finished. It's done. I almost gave up when I thought I burned the prunes, but I fell into this rhythm and just lost track of time. Next thing you know, it's done. It was a lot of work but you know something? It feels good. :''[the old ladies wheel in a bigger tart on a metal rolling cart]'' :'''Lois''': What's that? :'''Ludwina''': That's the real tart. :'''Floransa''': You kept screwing up. We just knew it would be easier for everybody if we just made it ourselves. :'''Lois''': But I worked for DAYS! :'''Floransa:''' I'm sorry. I know you'd rather be at the disco, shaking your backside at a bunch of drug addicts. :'''Lois''': Oh, you like St. Grotus Day? You like tarts? Well what are we waiting for? Let's celebrate! ''[jumps on both tarts while making noises]'' Well, maybe next time you'll think better before criticizing other people's desserts. ''[old ladies are shocked]'' === ''Motivational Speaker'' === :'''Dewey''': Sorry I missed lunch. I was at the library and I forgot to look at the clock. :'''Lois''': ''[interrupts]'' Do you think I'm an idiot? :'''Dewey''': huh? :'''Lois''': Do you think I don't know where you've been? :'''Dewey''': What do you mean? :'''Lois''': You think I wouldn't recognize the signs? Clean fingernails, good posture, cookie crumbs in your pockets – you're never hungry at dinnertime. You're seeing another mom. :'''Dewey''': I don't know what you're talking about. :'''Lois''': Don't lie to me! :'''Dewey''': It's not what you think! :'''Lois''': Who is she? :'''Dewey''': Why does that matter? :'''Lois''': Who is she?! :'''Dewey''': Mrs. Finnegan. :''[Lois looks away with a hurt look on her face]'' :'''Dewey''': It doesn't mean anything! A couple weeks ago I stopped by her house, and she had her iron out. She was just so nice. And there was cake! :'''Lois''': It'll be a long time before you get any cake around here. :'''Dewey''': I wasn't expecting any. :'''Lois''': After everything I've sacrificed for you, all I've done – you come waltzing in here day after day reeking of her fabric softener! :'''Dewey''': Yes! I like fabric softener! Mrs. Finnegan doesn't mind taking a little time to stop the rinse cycle, and maybe its nice to have someone that's got more to say to me than just "Clean your room", "comb your hair"… :'''Lois''': ''[pauses]'' Do you love her?! :'''Dewey''': Of course not, it's just snacks. :'''Lois''': Oh, you like her snacks. You like filling up on her cookies. You know they're store bought. :'''Dewey''': That's beneath you, mom. :'''Hal''': The question is will you be driving? Or just a passenger? Whenever you let somebody else drive, he might have errands to do. where do you think he will just stop.? :'''guy 1''': The dry cleaner :'''guy 2 ''': the drug store :'''Hal''': where else? Tim? :'''guy 3''': there's a place you can go to have your shoes treated so they won't smell over time :'''hal''': *writing down on whiteboard* so what do this all mean? :'''hal''': (quitely) it means nothing. === ''Stilts'' === :'''Policeman''': Are these your boys? :'''Hal''': You little monsters! How dare you get into trouble again? After all your mother does for you? === ''Buseys Take a Hostage'' === :'''Mr. Flerch''': ''': [after Chad bites his finger]''': Ow! Now it's a matter for the police :'''Hanson''': Excuse me, Mr. Flerch? <hr widith=50%/> :'''Mr. Flerch''': ''[Removes his duct tape from his mouth with his struggles and exposes Mr. Jeffers, the school principal at Dewey's school.]'' It was all his idea! I was just his obedient stooge. He dangled assistant vice principal in front of me. ''[sobs]'' It came with parking. :'''Dewey''': I wonder who would get the worst penalty, a bunch of emotionally disturbed kids who tie up people for a while. Or the trusted public servant who forced them into slavery. We could ask a judge or everyone could keep quiet about everything. :'''Francis''': ''[untying the two janitors]'' Is that all right with you guys? :''[One of the janitors, Jorge whispers in Spanish to the other janitor (who understands what he's talking about) in regards to both Mr. Flerch and the school principal.]'' :'''Janitor''': That depends. Can we get five minutes alone with these guys before you untie them? :''[Mr. Jeffers and Mr. Flerch are concerned as Dewey smiles.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[At the house, Lois is seen pissed off with Reese as she grabs the clothes to take into the boys' bedroom as Malcolm comes in with his basketball.]'' :'''Malcolm''': What's up with mom? :'''Reese''': Mom saw my report card and I flunked all my classes. :'''Malcolm''': What? :'''Reese''': Every single one of my finals, I got all the questions wrong. :'''Malcolm''': Oh my god. :'''Reese''': ''[ecstatic]'' I know, now I get to repeat my senior year. Isn't this great? I've been working so hard on it. I'm gonna make sure I fail all my classes so I couldn't make it up in summer school. Now I don't have to move out, got to college or get a job for a whole another year. This is the greatest achievement of my life. :''[Lois comes in completely mad at Reese more after hearing his confession]'' :'''Reese''': Yeah, I know, mom. :''[Lois leaves and Reese is drinking his soda in excitement as Malcolm leaves.]'' === ''Mrs. Tri-County'' === :'''Dewey''': We were just goofing around. I can't believe she took it seriously. :'''Hal''': You're right, Dewey. Your mother actually believed her sons love her. What a moron! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': It's going to be great. That's why I blocked out the next three hours to work with Dewey. :'''Dewey''': Dad, I have homework! :'''Hal''': Oh, just buy it from the guy Reese buys his from. ==Season 7== === ''Burning Man'' === :''[after Reese and Malcolm get caught at the middle of the night trying to sneak out to Burning Man]'' :'''Lois''': Hitchhiking?! Hitchhiking on the highway like hobos?! <hr width 50%> :''[After Malcolm inadvertently convinces Hal and Lois to go to Burning Man]'' :'''Lois''': What a great idea, Malcolm! ''[Reese glares at Malcolm]'' :'''Reese''': ''[sarcastically]'' Yeah, maybe next year, we can take Grandma to Mardi Gras! :'''Malcolm''': You think I enjoy having powers I can't control?! Believe me, I'd much rather be as stupid as you are! :'''Reese''': Don't try sucking up to me now! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': Dewey, we are civilized people. We make arbitrary boundaries that we defend to the death. === ''Health Insurance'' === :'''Hal''': What's the matter with you boys? Don't you realize you could get killed? :'''Reese''': Dad, I can't die. :'''Hal''': What? :'''Reese''': I'm seventeen. :'''Hal''': And so you can't die? :'''Reese''': I just don't see it happening. :'''Hal''': I got news for you, Reese — seventeen-year-olds die all the time. :'''Reese''': Come on, Dad, that's just something they tell you so you'll stay off drugs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': It's a very special moment when a father watches his boys lie to their mother for him. There's only one thing that could make me prouder: if one of you could saw off my leg. === ''Reese vs. Stevie'' === :''[Lois has just come home with groceries and is listening to an audio book of a novel. Later on as it got to the conclusion, Lois is eating some food in the car.]'' :'''Narrator''': Hello McKendrick I heard from behind. I spun around, but standing there was .... :'''Reese''': ''[voice recording]'' a stupid housewife who wouldn't let her son buy nunchucks even though they're totally safe. :'''Lois''': ''[Enraged]'' REEESE! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lois walks in as Hal and Dewey are locked in battle over using each other's vices. Dewey is drinking coffee and Hal is smoking cigarettes]'' :'''Dewey''':''[Drinking Coffee]'' MMMMMM. Rich roasted goodness. Suddenly, I'm in a French café. :'''Hal''':''[smoking a cigarette]'' Well I'm with two girls in a speedboat sucking down a smooth blend of fine tobaccos. Mmm. :'''Lois''':''[Catches Hal smoking]'' HAL! :'''Hal''':''[takes out his cigarette]'' Dewey's drinking coffee. :''[He tries to get rid of the cigarette evidence by tossing it away. However to his dismay, Lois ignores Dewey for the moment. In her opinion, his drinking coffee doesn't equal to the type of punishment that she will inflict on Hal in breaking his promise by smoking in the house again.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': The Norvet Institute kicked Stevie out for unauthorized use of their equipment and Reese will be OK, but he's not allowed out of bed until he stops seeing four of everything. :''[Hal comes into the kitchen, carrying a trash bin to one of the air conditioner vents where he hides his cigarettes. Opening the vent, the cigarettes all cascade down into the bin. Hal then closes it and leaves.]'' :'''Malcolm''': ''[to the camera]'' Mom's making dad find the last of his old cigarettes and she's gonna make him eat any she finds in the morning so he's pretty motivated. The amazing thing is I got off scot-free. :'''Lois''': Malcolm go change Reese's bedpan. :'''Malcolm''': Hey, he's my brother. === ''Halloween'' === :'''Lois''': I cannot believe they called me into work. I requested Halloween off eight months ago, and suddenly, Mary Beth becomes a Wiccan so she can take it as a religious holiday. :'''Hal''': There will be more Halloweens... barring some tragic event. :'''Lois''':''[reminding Hal]'' But this is the good one, you know. There's such a tiny window where the kids are so sweet and adorable and you can dress them up however you want. ''[disgusted]'' Every year after that, Halloween's just another trip to the police station. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey''': Hey, you're right. The candy you steal off other kids really does taste better. :'''Reese''': I'm telling you, it's the fear. === ''Jessica Stays Over'' === :'''Jessica''': Listen, Monday, I need you to get your mom out of the house for a couple of hours after school. Take her to a chick flick or something. You should enjoy that. :'''Malcolm''': What for? :'''Jessica''': My boyfriend's coming over and I'd like to have the house to ourselves, if you know what I mean. :'''Malcolm''': What?! :'''Jessica''': Oh, good, you do know what I mean. I wasn't sure with that whole "chasm of loneliness" crap. :'''Malcolm''': You can't hook up in my house! ''I've'' never hooked up in my house! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Dewey holds up a jar of honey]'' :'''Dewey''': Is that a bee? :'''Hal''': That is how you know it's fresh. You won't find any bees in your store-bought honey, I'll tell you that much. :'''Dewey''': Where did this come from? :'''Hal''': Spoils of war, Dewey. You know that beehive in the tool shed I've been battling for months? Victory is mine. :'''Dewey''': You did it yourself? ''[Hal nods]'' :'''Dewey''': How'd you know how to do that? :'''Hal''': It's instinctual. You see, human beings were born with everything they need to destroy bees. Except the poison. You have to buy that. :'''Dewey''': I feel kind of sorry for the bees, though. :'''Hal''': It's survival of the fittest, Dewey. If they had won, they'd be spreading ''us'' on toast right now. === ''Secret Boyfriend'' === :'''Malcolm''': ''[bringing a soda]'' Here, I brought one for you. :'''Reese''': Thanks. And now I'll take yours because you obviously shook mine up. ''[Switches cans]'' Wait a minute! You wanted me to do that! ''[Switches cans again]'' Of course you had to have known I was going to know that! ''[Switches again]'' Unless you didn't think I was smart enough. But I'm smarter than... You know what? I'm not smart enough to figure it out! So what? Big deal! ''[Goes to fridge and opens a different can which is shaken and sprays him with soda as he screams]'' :'''Malcolm''': I'm not sure if I have the gift or he does. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': ''[about Reese]'' What are we going to do about him, Hal? He shows absolutely no interest in his future. :'''Hal''': I'm sorry, honey. I thought you had given up on him too. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Reese is having a nightmare of himself in his 40s taking care of an elderly, obese and controlling Lois.]'' :'''Lois''': Reese! Reese, get in here quick! Do you hear me? What is the matter with you? Are you deaf? It's time for my sponge bath! You think these stomach folds will scrape themselves out. :''[She tosses her bedsheets and Reese wakes up, screaming in terror. He quickly runs inside Hal and Lois' bedroom to confront his mother]'' :'''Reese''': I'm gonna get a job! I'm gonna get a life of my own away from here! And just in case I don't, you can clean out your own damn stomach folds. === ''Blackout'' === :'''Jamie''': ''[gasps and see Francis]'' Francis! <hr width 50%> :''[The house lights go out.]'' :'''Lois''': ''[in the shower]'' Hal! :'''Hal''': I paid the bill! It's the whole neighborhood! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''':That stupid fish! :'''Hal''': Malcolm! :'''Malcolm''': Crap! <hr width 70%> :'''Hal''': You're here! :'''Malcolm''': Kind of. :'''Hal''': You lied to me! You're not drunk at all! :'''Malcolm''': You said that if I called and said I was drunk, I would not get in trouble! :'''Hal''': That only applies if you're actually drunk! === ''Army Buddy'' === :'''Reese''': You were right, Malcolm. She wants me bad. This is a disaster. :'''Malcolm''': Why? You've got a girl that's crazy about you. :'''Reese''': She's my buddy. The best friend I've ever had, but in a roll-around-on-the-floor-and-make-her-smell-my-armpit kind of way. :'''Malcolm''': Everyone has their own kind of foreplay. The important thing now is how you feel about her. :'''Reese''': It's hard to say. Now, when I think about her, I get all nervous in my stomach. Like my bowels could cut loose at any moment. :'''Malcolm''': That's love, dude. :'''Reese''': Wow. You'd think somebody would put that in a song. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Abby''': I have to confess, I'm a great admirer of yours, ma'am. :'''Lois''': Me? :'''Abby''': Yes, ma'am. Reese told me so many amazing stories about you. Is it true you once made him cut the front lawn with a pair of manicure scissors? :'''Lois''': I can't take all the credit for that. After all, he was the one who didn't refill the ice cube tray. === ''Malcolm Defends Reese'' === :'''Malcolm''': Tough break, Mr Herkabe. :'''Mr. Herkabe''': ''[After realizing it was Malcolm who told Mr. Hodges]'' I know it was you, Malcolm and I wouldn't be so quick to gloat. I'm not defeated yet! I'm like Napoleon at St. Helena, plotting my return! :'''Malcolm''': You mean Elba. He died on St Helena. :'''Mr. Herkabe''': Oh, shut up! I have to call mother before she hears it from someone else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hal''': Okay, what you need here is some sort of romantic gesture. :'''Dewey''': What do you mean? :'''Hal''': Just off the top of my head, you could send her a nice box of expensive chocolates. :'''Dewey''': I'm not sure. :'''Hal''': Too late. You already did. You just dropped off a big box on her front doorstep, rang the bell, and ran like hell. You also trampled some of her rose bushes. Congratulations, son. === ''Malcolm's Money'' === :'''Malcolm''': ''[seeing his photo on the screen]'' What did you do to me?! I look like a freak! :'''Earl''': Kid, that's you. That's what you look like. :'''Malcolm''': I can't let my grandchildren see me like that! You have to fix it! Put on a special filter, or-or brighter lights... Please, you have to fix it. :'''Earl''': Sorry, kid. That's the best I can do. I'm a yearbook photographer, not a magician. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': This is great. I never knew old people could be nice. I thought you were all wrinkled bags of skin babbling about how stuff used to cost less. :'''Judith''': No, some are like that, but there's a few of us who still have some life left. <hr width 50%> :'''Hal''': Now, where's the rest of the money? :'''Lois''': There isn't any. :'''Dewey''': What? :'''Hal''': You just spent 10.000$ on a stupid dollhouse?! :'''Lois''': They wanted 12. But look,hal, it has a tiny little dumbwaiter and the lights really work. === ''Bride of Ida'' === :''[Reese and Malcolm are horrified to discover they're being left with Ida]'' :'''Reese''': What's Grandma doing here?! :'''Malcolm:''' You never said Grandma was coming! :'''Lois''': I didn't? Then it's just a nice surprise for you boys. Remember last month when you came in after curfew and said, "What are you going to do about it"? Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Female Security Agent''': ''[to Lois]'' Ma'am, I need to touch your breasts. :'''Lois''': You need to touch my what? :'''Female Security Agent''': I'm required to probe with the back of my hand. If you like, you can request up to 2 female witnesses. ''[putting on rubber gloves]'' :'''Lois''': Let me understand this. Because I made a comment about first class, I am being singled out for a public feel-up? :'''Dewey''': ''[yelling]'' Oh, for God's sake, Mom, just let her touch your boobs! :'''Male Agent''': The kid makes a lot of sense, ma'am. Now do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way? ''[More security agents surround her as she becomes enraged]'' :''[Several minutes later, they wait for another flight]'' :'''Hal''': OK, the tickets are changed. The next flight leaves in 15 hours. :'''Dewey''': So I get no time to practice and no sleep tonight! :''[Lois makes an embarrassed smile]'' === ''College Recruiters'' === :'''Hal''': Another college recruiter? When I was applying, believe me, there were no recruiters. If I hadn't found that ad inside that matchbook, I may never have pursued higher education! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': For your information, marriage isn't just about sex. It's about commitment. You know, we can't have sex until after the waiting period. :'''Malcolm''': The waiting period? :'''Reese''': Poor, naive Malcolm! All women, when they get married, require a waiting period from six months to a year. === ''Mono'' === :'''Malcolm''': This is so awesome. Mom and Dad just got back from the doctor's, and it turns out she has mono. She's been ordered to stay in bed for two weeks. After all those years of stepping on cracks, it finally paid off. I mean, it's no broken back, but I'll take it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': ''[at the computer]'' I can't wait until everyone at school finds out you got the kissing disease from mom, which will happen right about... ''[clicks a button on the computer's mouse]'' now. :'''Malcolm''': I didn't kiss her; you saw it. :'''Reese''': What I saw was you and Mom making out on the couch. Dewey? :'''Dewey''': It was disgusting. :'''Malcolm''': ''[frustrated]'' She licked her finger and touched my face! :'''Reese''': Spare us the perv details. === ''Hal Grieves'' === :'''Reese''': Mom's the kind of crazy where she always yells at us. But Dad's the kind of crazy where he buys us an Xbox 360. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': You think Dad could really be doing this to buy our love? :'''Dewey''': I guess. :'''Reese''': I say we squeeze him for all he's got. :'''Dewey''': It's the least we could do for him. === ''A.A.'' === :''[Lois and Hal are preparing to leave, and Lois stops to address the boys]'' :'''Lois:''' Before I forget... :''[Lois picks up a vase on a table]'' :'''Lois:''' This is the one thing left in this house that I care about. I don't want to spend the next two days worrying about 'How will they break it,' 'Where will they hide the pieces,' 'How will they lie about it when I come home?' So... :''[Lois drops and breaks the vase as the boys look on]'' :'''Lois:''' There. Now I can relax. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': Reese, we have access to a car with no adult supervision. We can do whatever we want, and if we get caught? They'd blame Mom and Dad for being absentee parents. This is the perfect crime. :'''Dewey''': I was thinking we could drive to the arcade. :'''Reese''': Arcade? What are you, 12? :'''Dewey''': Yeah. === ''Lois Strikes Back'' === :'''Lois''': Are you trying to calm me down? :'''Hal''': No. I just don't think it leads anywhere good when you get like this. :'''Lois''': ''[quietly]'' Get like what? :'''Hal''': Well... you know. :'''Lois''': No, I don't know. How is it I get? :'''Hal''': Well... :'''Lois''': If I have a problem, I would love for you to explain it to me. ''[pause; Lois continues glaring at Hal]'' :'''Hal''': You know what, honey? This seems like a-a much longer conversation, and it just so happens that I am right in the middle of a project in the garage. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lois''': I've been a terrible mother. :'''Reese''': It's okay, Mom. I've known that for a long time. === ''Hal's Dentist'' === :'''Reese''': Mom, you might not know this, but I used to be afraid of a lot of things. Thunder, frogs, mailboxes... :'''Lois''': You were afraid of mailboxes? :'''Reese''': I used to imagine that if I stuck my hand in a mailbox, it would slam shut and rip my hand off. But I had something conquer my fear by ripping the lid off every mailbox in the neighborhood! I turned that fear into hate! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': Oh, it's too hard? Well, why didn't you say so? When things get tough, you got to just give up and run away from your dreams. Lower your expectations. That's fine. I've had my fun. If you want to quit, go ahead and quit. :'''Lois''': All right, Reese, you made your point. Let's give it a try. :'''Reese''': No, I was really saying quit. === ''Bomb Shelter'' === :'''Dewey''': What if we do everything on his "To Do" board and then let him out? :'''Reese''': That's brilliant. He couldn't be mad at us if we did all this for him. He's got stuff on here that he's been meaning to do for years. ''[reads note]'' "Change Dewey's diaper." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': Turns out, I'm naturally talented at science and dancing. Two things that are guaranteed to get me beat up. === ''Stevie in the Hospital'' === :'''Clerk''': Can I help you find something? :'''Malcolm''': Yeah, do you have any cards that don't say "Get well"? :'''Clerk''': This is a hospital. Usually, we're rooting for the patient. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reese''': Did you know how hard it was to get this job? Everywhere else I applied called my references. Thank God telemarketing has no standards. Basically, I get to harass old people and shut-ins all day. I'm getting paid to do what I love. === ''Cattle Court'' === :'''Lois''': Okay, this is the only universe this could possible exist in. I'm 90 years old. Hal is dead. I have dementia and I need someone to keep me from catching on fire. There's no money for a nurse, my sons won't do it, and I'm asleep for 22 hours a day. Then, and only then, maybe we could be together. :'''Craig''': It's like you're reading straight out of my diary. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': I am so happy. I'm sneaking out to a concert Friday night while Mom works the late shift. The band sucks, but I have backstage passes. And if that's even one billionth as insane as I've always imagined it, I could die happy. === ''Morp'' === :'''Lois''': That was a good thing you did, son. :'''Dewey''': Thanks. :'''Lois''': Enjoy the cake. That's the last thing you're going to eat in a long time that hasn't been dipped in sardine juice. ''[Dewey looks shocked while Lois takes a picture]'' Hey! Finally, a picture for your memory book. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': ''[as everyone leaves to go to the prom while leaving the morp]'' You can't just let them say "I'm sorry" after 12 years of treating us like crap! Wait a minute. they never even said, "sorry!" This is a trap! These are the same people who made fun of your clothes all through school, and laughed at your haircuts, and called you Malcolm-Balcolm! You'll be sorry! :'''Naked Guy''': ''[goes up to Malcolm]'' Finally, now we've got some breathing room in here. :''[Malcolm looks disgusted]'' === ''Graduation'' === :'''Piama''': Lois, I really think he's gonna do it this time! You gotta stop him! ''[Francis storms in and seizes a poker from the fireplace]'' :'''Francis''': There you are! I drove by eighty miles of blunt objects just to get to you! I HOPE YOU RUN! :'''Ida''': You better make that first swing count, princess! :''[While Francis attempts to stab his grandma]'' :'''Lois''': Hal... :'''Hal''': Right. ''[Calming down Francis]'' Son. Don't feel bad. In some parallel universe you did it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Cleaning up after the explosion of Reese's giant stinkbomb]'' :'''Malcolm''': ''[furious]'' You know what? I'm glad. This is appropriate! Now my life looks ''exactly'' how I feel! How could you screw me over like that?! :'''Lois''': Because you were going to take that job, and we are not going to let you throw your life away! :'''Malcolm''': ''How'' is being rich throwing my life away?! :'''Lois''': Because it's not the life you're supposed to have! The life you're supposed to have is you go to Harvard, and you earn every fellowship and internship they have! You graduate first in your class and you start working in public service- either district attorney or running some foundation- and then you become Governor of a mid-size state and then you become President. :'''Malcolm''': What?! :'''Lois''': Of the United States. :'''Malcolm''': Dad...! :'''Hal''': I'm sorry, son. It's true. ''[Malcolm looks at his brothers, who all nod in agreement]'' :'''Francis''': Thought you knew. :'''Hal''': Our expectations started out much smaller, but you just kept upping the ante. :'''Malcolm''': What if I don't want to be President?! :'''Lois''': It's too late for that, you're gonna do it! :'''Malcolm''': ''[sarcastic]'' Really?! Have you decided my position of capital gains tax cuts?! What are my foreign policy objectives?! :'''Lois''': That doesn't matter. What ''does'' matters is that you will be the only person in that position who will ''ever'' give a crap about people like us! We've been getting the short end of the stick for thousands of years and I, for one, am sick of it! Now you are going to be President, mister, and that's the end of it! :'''Malcolm''': Did it ever occur to you that I could have taken this job, gotten really rich and bought my way into being President?! :'''Lois''': Of course it did. We decided against it. :'''Malcolm''': WHAT?! :'''Lois''': Because then you wouldn't be a good President. You wouldn't have suffered enough. :'''Malcolm''': ''I've been suffering '''all my life!''''' :'''Lois''': I'm sorry, but it's not enough. You know what it's like to be poor and you know what it's like to work hard. Now you're going to learn what it's like to sweep floors and bust your ass and accomplish twice as much as all the kids around you. And it won't mean anything because they will still look down on you, and you will want so much for them to like you and they just won't. And that'll break your heart, and that'll make your heart bigger and open your eyes, and ''finally'' you will realize that there's more to life than proving you're the smartest person in the world! I'm sorry, Malcolm, but you don't get the easy path. You don't get to just have fun and be rich and live the life of luxury. :'''Hal''': That's Dewey. :'''Dewey''': ''[gleeful]'' Really? :'''Malcolm''': This is unbelievable!

Communism includes a variety of {{w|schools of thought}}, which broadly include [[Marxism]], [[anarchism]] ({{w|anarchist communism}}), and the [[W:Ideology#Political ideologies|political ideologies]] grouped around both. All these share the analysis that the current [[order of society]] stems from its [[economic system]], [[capitalism]], that in this [[system]], there are two major social classes: the [[proletariat|working class]]—who must work to survive, and who make up the majority within society—and the [[bourgeoisie|capitalist class]]—a minority who derives [[profit]] from employing the working class, through private ownership of the means of production—and that [[class conflict|conflict between these two classes]] will trigger a [[w:Communist revolution|revolution]].

It is because Communism has not been fought for what it really is — a Jewish scheme invented by Jews — that it has progressed against all opposition to it.

What is the thing for which we fight, for which the men with whom we feel the stir of sympathy throughout the ages have fought? Freedom. But that fight changes from age to age and the freedom that some men fought for may turn out to be tyranny.

We acquiesced in the crimes. That is true not only of Soviet Communists, but of Communists all over the world. We, especially the active and leading members of the Party, carry a stain on our consciences individually and collectively. The only way we can erase it is to make sure that nothing of the sort ever happens again. How was all this possible? Did we all go crazy, or have we now become traitors to Communism? The truth is that all of us, including the leaders directly under [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]], saw these crimes as the opposite of what they were. We believed that they were important contributions to the victory of [[socialism]]. We thought everything that promoted the power politics of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union and in the world was good for socialism. We never suspected that conflict between Communist politics and Communist ethics was possible. **[[w:Joseph Berger-Barzilai|Joseph Berger-Barzilai]], ''Shipwreck of a Generation: The Memoirs of Joseph Berger'' (1971), p. 247 *The Communist Party is the sworn inveterate enemy of the Socialist and Democratic Parties. When it associates with them, it does so as a preliminary to destroying them. There is an old German aphorism which says: "To cast an enemy out it is first necessary to embrace him." That is what the Communists mean when they ask for co-operation and alliance with the Socialists... The Communist does not look upon a Socialist as an ally in a common cause. He looks upon him as a dupe, as a temporary convenience, and as something to be thrust ruthlessly to one side when he has served his purpose. **[[Aneurin Bevan]], 'Foreword' to [[Denis Healey]], ''The Curtain Falls: The Story of the Socialists in Eastern Europe'' (1951), p. 6 * The specific kind of [[w:Anti-communism|anti-communism]] that took shape in these years was partly based on value judgements: the widespread belief in the United States that communism was simply a bad system, or morally repugnant even when effective. But it was also based on a number of assertions about the nature of Soviet-led international communism. There was a widespread belief that Stalin wanted to invade Western Europe. It became accepted as fact that the Soviets were pushing for revolution worldwide, and that whenever communists were present, even in small numbers, they probably had secret plans to overthrow the government. And it was considered gospel that anywhere communists were acting, they were doing so on the orders of the Soviet Union, part of a monolithic global conspiracy to destroy the West. Most of this was simply untrue. Much of the rest was greatly exaggerated. **[[w:Vincent Bevins|Vincent Bevins]], ''[[w:The Jakarta Method|The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World]]'', [[w:PublicAffairs|PublicAffairs]], 2020. pp. 15-16 * From the outset in 1917, the Communists believed in a utopian ideology, extreme, organised violence, atheism, a redefined place of the individual that served to reject Enlightenment precepts, and the rejection of preceding Russian history. During the Civil War and the 1920s, the Orthodox Church was crushed, with the slaughter of tens of thousands of priests and monks, and the desecration and destruction of churches, monasteries and the tombs of saints. The real and spiritual landscapes of Russia and the psychological life of the people were transformed as a consequence. Communism in its own way therefore constituted a major civilisational challenge to the notion in Europe and North America of a 'Western Civilisation', whether or not articulated explicitly in this fashion. This civilisation owed much to Christianity and placed considerable weight on liberalism and toleration. From this perspective, Communism, drawing both on a reconceptualisation of Russian authoritarianism and on a new, totalitarian ideology and practice, posed a counter-civilisational challenge with its own precepts, aims, methods and anticipated outcomes. **[[Jeremy Black (historian)|Jeremy Black]], ''The Cold War: A Military History'', 2015 * I'm about as much in favor of communism as J.

Clancy]], as quoted in ''[[Rainbow Six (novel)|Rainbow Six]]'' (1998), p. 515 *[M]any archives and witnesses prove conclusively that [[terror]] has always been one of the basic ingredients of modern Communism. Let us abandon once and for all the idea that the execution of hostages by firing squads, the slaughter of rebellious workers, and the forced starvation of the peasantry were only short-term "accidents" peculiar to a specific country or era. Our approach will encompass all geographic areas and focus on [[crime]] as a defining characteristic of the Communist system throughout its existence. **[[w:Stéphane Courtois|Stéphane Courtois]], 'Introduction: The Crimes of Communism', ''[[w:The Black Book of Communism|The Black Book of Communism]]'' (1999), p. 3 *[T]he intransigent facts demonstrate that Communist regimes have victimized approximately 100 million people in contrast to the approximately 25 million victims of the [[Nazism|Nazis]]. This clear record should provide at least some basis for assessing the similarity between the Nazi regime, which since 1945 has been considered the most viciously criminal regime of this century, and the Communist system... The methods implemented by [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] and perfected by [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] and their henchmen bring to mind the methods used by the Nazis, but most often this is because the latter adopted the techniques developed by the former. [[Rudolf Hess]], charged with organizing the camp at [[w:Auschwitz concentration camp|Auschwitz]] and later appointed its commandant, is a perfect example: "The [[w:Reich Security Main Office|Reich Security Head Office]] issued to the commandants a full collection of reports in great detail the conditions in, and organization of, the Russian camps, as supplied by former prisoners who had managed to escape. Great emphasis was placed on the fact that the Russians, by their massive employment of forced labor, had destroyed whole peoples." **[[w:Stéphane Courtois|Stéphane Courtois]], 'Introduction: The Crimes of Communism', ''[[w:The Black Book of Communism|The Black Book of Communism]]'' (1999), p. 15 *Time and again the focus of the terror was less on targeted individuals than on groups of people. The purpose of terror was to exterminate a group that had been designated as the enemy. Even though it might be only a small fraction of society, it had to be stamped out to satisfy this [[Genocide|genocidal]] impulse. Thus, the techniques of segregation and exclusion employed in a "class-based totalitarianism" closely resemble the techniques of "race-based totalitarianism." The future Nazi society was to be built upon a "pure race," and the future Communist society was to be built upon a proletarian people purified of the dregs of the bourgeoisie. The restructuring of these two societies was envisioned in the same way, even if the crackdowns were different. **[[w:Stéphane Courtois|Stéphane Courtois]], 'Introduction: The Crimes of Communism', ''[[w:The Black Book of Communism|The Black Book of Communism]]'' (1999), p. 16 ==D== * I am a communist because I am convinced that the reason we have been forcefully compelled to eke out an existence at the very lowest level of American society has to do with the nature of capitalism. If we are going to rise out of our oppression, our poverty, if we are going to cease being the targets of the racist-minded mentality of racist policemen, we will have to destroy the American capitalist system. We will have to obliterate a system in which a few wealthy capitalists are guaranteed the privilege of becoming richer and richer, whereas the people who are forced to work for the rich, and especially Black people, never take any significant step forward. ** [[Angela Y. Davis]], "I am a Revolutionary Black Woman" (1970) in ''Let Nobody Turn Us Around: Voices of Resistance, Reform, and Renewal'' (2000), p. 483 * The Right positions communism as a threat because communism names the defeat of and alternative to capitalism. It recognizes the crisis in capitalism: over-accumulation leaves the rich sitting on piles of cash they can't invest; industrial capacity remains unused and workers unemployed; global interconnections make unneeded skyscrapers, fiber-optic cables, malls, and housing developments as much a part of China as the US. At the same time, scores of significant problems – whether food shortages linked to climate change, energy shortages resulting from oil dependency, or drug shortages resulting from the failure of private pharmaceutical companies to risk their own capital – remain unmet because they require the kinds of large-scale planning and cooperation that capitalism, particularly in its contemporary finance and communications-driven incarnation, subverts. ** [[Jodi Dean]], ''The Communist Horizon'' (2012), pp. 51-52 * The US right calls everything it doesn’t like 'communist'.

The determining factor in analyzing the class nature of a society is not whether the means of production are the private property of the capitalist class or are state-owned, but whether the means of production ... are monopolized and alienated from the direct producers.

Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin. ** [[John F.

It has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both. ** [[John F. Kennedy]], Speech at NATO Headquarters, Naples Italy (2 July 1963) * Communism is based on an ethical relativism and a metaphysical materialism that no Christian can accept. **[[Martin Luther King, Jr.]], [http://mlk-kpp01.stanford.edu/index.php/encyclopedia/documentsentry/doc_pauls_letter_to_american_christians/ ''Paul's Letter to American Christians''] (4 November 1956). * Communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both. **[[Martin Luther King, Jr.]], "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?" (1967) * In the social equation, the value of a single life is nil; in the cosmic equation, it is infinite... Not only communism, but any political movement which implicitly relies on purely utilitarian ethics, must become a victim to the same fatal error. It is a fallacy as naïve as a mathematical teaser, and yet its consequences lead straight to Goya's Disasters, to the reign of the guillotine, the torture chambers of the Inquisition, or the cellars of the [[w:Lubyanka (KGB)|Lubianka]]. ** [[Arthur Koestler]], ''{{w|The Invisible Writing}}''. *In [[Russia]], all you have to do to get a house is to be born in the [[Soviet Union]].

Yet you say we are the slave to communism. **[[Nikita Khrushchev]], [http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/the-kitchen-debate/ ''The Kitchen Debate''] (1959). *Communism was a gigantic façade, and the reality concealed behind it was the sheer drive for power, for total power as an end in itself. The rest was merely instrumental -- a matter of tactics and some necessary self-restrictions to achieve the desired end. But the façade was more than mere decoration: it was communism's only means of survival; its respiratory system. It was also the ineradicable residue of the tradition of the Enlightenment and nineteenth-century socialism, of which communism was indeed a deformed descendant. As with all descendants, however deformed, some inherited traits are always visible, and in communism, too, these were evident. The rationalism, contempt for tradition, and hatred for the mythological layer of culture to which the Enlightenment gave birth developed, under communism, into the brutal persecution of religion, but also into the principle (practiced rather than directly expressed) that human beings are expendable: that individual lives count only as instruments of the 'greater whole' or the 'higher cause,' i.e. the state, for no rational grounds exist for attributing to them any special, non-instrumental status. Thus rationalism was transformed under communism into the idea of slavery. And romantic and early socialist strains -- the search for lost community and human solidarity, the protest against social disintegration caused by the industrial revolution and urbanization -- developed, under communism, into caricature: solidarity imposed by force, in an attempt to create a fake, merely ostensible unity -- the unity of despotism. **[[w:Leszek Kołakowski|Leszek Kołakowski]], "Communism as a Cultural Force", as quoted in ''Is God Happy?

A lot of religious reformers have been like that, too. It's the same psychological set, trying to abolish the present in favor of some better future — always taking it for granted that there is a better future. If you don't believe in heaven, then you believe in socialism. When I was in my real Communist phase, I and the people around me really believed — but, of course, this makes us certifiable — that something like 10 years after World War II, the world would be Communist and perfect. **[[Doris Lessing]], as quoted in [http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/01/10/specials/lessing-space.html "Doris Lessing on Feminism, Communism and Space Fiction"] (25 July 1982), Lesley Hazelton, New York Times Book Review ==M == *The tragedy of Korea is further heightened by the fact that its military action is confined to its territorial limits.

Its name was communism. Christianity, though it professed the love of God, had degenerated into a dead body of clergy trailing empty slogans. It was then only natural that a banner of rebellion would be raised, arguing that a merciless God who would allow such suffering could not exist. Hence, modern materialism was born. Western society became a hotbed of materialism; it was the fertile soil in which communism flourished. ** [[Sun Myung Moon]], [http://web.archive.org/20090829185555/www.geocities.com/unificationism/DivinePrinciple-intro.html ''Divine Principle'', Introduction] * Nonetheless, one final and inescapable conflict remains before us, the war between democracy and communism.

It is organized production, with the State as universal employer, master of the entire production apparatus. The workers are master of the means of production no more than under Western capitalism. They receive their wages and are exploited by the State as the only mammoth capitalist. So the name [[State capitalism]] can be applied with precisely the same meaning.

No longer needing to convince workers that they live better than their counterparts in Russia, and no longer constrained by a competing system, the corporate class is rolling back the many gains that working people in the West have won over the years.

Unfortunately for the communists, a substantial proportion of the oppressed were incapable, unconscientious, unintelligent, licentious, power mad, violent, resentful, and jealous, while a substantial proportion of the oppressors were educated, able, creative, intelligent, honest, and caring. ** [[Jordan Peterson]], ''[[Beyond Order]]'' (2021), p. 167 * I think that communism was a major force for violence for more than 100 years, because it was built into its ideology—that progress comes through class struggle, often violent.

The adversary, simply for daring to contradict, at once became a traitor, an opportunist, a hireling. ''An adversary in good faith'' is inconceivable to the Russian Communists.

All that is subtle in human psychology and in the structure of society (which is even more delicate) all of this is reduced to crude economic processes. This whole created being - man - is reduced to matter. It's characteristic that Communism is so devoid of arguments that it has none to advance against its opponents in our Communist countries. It lacks arguments and hence there is the club, the prison, the concentration camp, and insane asylums with forced confinement. **[[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]], ''Warning to the West'' (1975) ==T== *The history of Communism, originally inspired by noble ideals, clearly illustrates what happens when people attempt to change external reality – create a new earth – without any prior change in their inner reality, their state of [[consciousness]].

And yet, totalitarianism could never have survived so long had it not been able to draw so many people into its fold. There is something else—it is a formidably efficient machine. Communist ideology offers an idealised model for society and exhorts us toward it. The desire to change the world in the name of an ideal is, after all, an essential characteristic of human identity... Furthermore, Communist society strips the individual of his responsibilities. It is always "somebody else" who makes the decisions. Remember, individual responsibility can feel like a crushing burden... The attraction of a totalitarian system, which has had a powerful allure for many, has its roots in a fear of freedom and responsibility. This explains the popularity of authoritarian regimes (which is [[Erich Fromm]]'s thesis in ''Escape from Freedom'').

To use good old Stalinist jargon, today already half-forgotten, Communists act immediately in the name of "objective laws of historical progress"; it is history itself, its necessity, that speaks through their mouths. ** [[Slavoj Žižek]], ''Looking Awry: An Introduction to Jacques Lacan through Popular Culture'', p. 22. <small>{{ISBN|026274015X}}</small> ==See also== * [[Bolsheviks]] * [[Capitalism]] * [[Democratic socialism]] * [[Dictatorship of the proletariat]] * [[Karl Marx]] * [[Marxism]] * [[Socialism]] * [[State capitalism]] * [[:Category:Communists]] ==External links== {{wikipedia}} {{wiktionary|communism}} {{wikisource portal}} [[Category:Communism| ]] [[Category:Business]] pr9ivftzkn0rsdm9ge00lppyubgr3fh Angel (1999 TV series) 0 7014 3147777 2874565 2022-07-26T21:12:46Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Angel (season 1)|1]] [[Angel (season 2)|2]] [[Angel (season 3)|3]] [[Angel (season 4)|4]] [[Angel (season 5)|5]] | [[Angel (1999 TV series)|'''Main''']] ---- '''''[[w:Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]''''' (1999&ndash;2004) was an American TV show, created by [[Joss Whedon]] and [[w:David Greenwalt|David Greenwalt]] and airing on [[w:The WB|The WB]], about the ongoing trials of [[w:Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)|Angel]], a vampire whose human soul was restored to him by gypsies as a punishment for the murder of one of their own.

Changes to the look, wording, or style of the message can be implemented quickly, because templates are rendered for the reader when the article loads. Spaces in the name are allowed, e.g. <nowiki>{{train topics}}</nowiki>. The first character (only) is not case-sensitive, so <nowiki>{{cleanup}} and {{Cleanup}}</nowiki> both work. This technique is commonly known as [[w:transclusion|transclusion]]. Templates can also accept [[m:Templates#Parameters|parameters]] which are then inserted into the output of the template. Templates in the article namespace exist only to help readers. These can include navigation aids, or warnings that content is sub-standard. Templates that provide information only of service to editors belong on an article's talk page. '''''Instructions''' : When you add new template messages to this page, please help keep the tables in alphabetical order.'' == Other template messages == * [[/User|User messages]] * [[/User talk|User talk messages]] * [[/Template|Template messages]] ==Article-related namespace== ''Please list '''navigational templates''' (as, for example, between pages relating to a specific topic) at [[w:Wikipedia:Navigational templates|Wikipedia:Navigational templates]].

Where can I put this? :'''Mrs. Raven''': Well, don't give her to me. ''(She picks up the phone)'' Janet, out here. ''(She hangs up again.)'' Do you know what's wrong with her? :'''George''': Well, she's got rheumatoid arthritis in her left shoulder, a slightly irregular heartbeat and two nasty scars where she was delivered by forceps. :'''Mrs. Raven''': I meant why is she unconscious? :'''George''': Oh, she just fainted. :'''Mrs. Raven''': And you are? :'''George''': Fine. Thanks for asking. <hr width=50%/> :''[In Arnie's New York café, he's watching TV with a customer. Arnie has a smug look on his face.]'' :'''Commentator''': There's two touchdowns. And the Denver Broncos game against the Dallas Cowboys has just ended with a 21-19 victory for the Broncos. :''[Arnie turns off the TV]'' :'''Arnie''': Yes! Thank you! Pay the man! :''[He does, reluctantly]'' :'''Customer''': Every week ya do me! Every week, Arnie! :''[He gets up and heads for the door]'' :'''Arnie''': What can I say?

If she likes you as George "Surgical Stockings" Sunday, she'll ''love'' you as Thermoman! :'''George''': You think so? :'''Arnie''': You're Tom Cruise in tights, only taller! :'''George''': Right, I'll show her what I'm made of.

It's something about the female brain holding information. :'''Janet''': Is it? :'''Piers''': You wouldn't believe it. Lots of women I've been out with have had the same problem. :'''Janet''': You don't say. ''(She leaves)'' Well, goodnight. :'''Piers''': God, she fancies me. So, Mrs. Raven, you doing anything remotely interesting tonight? :'''Mrs. Raven''': I'm taking the triplets to see the exorcist. :'''Piers''': Hmm.

And if all goes to plan, I hope to greet my first customers tomorrow morning. :'''Piers''': So you open tomorrow? :'''George''': No, we opened a week ago. :'''Piers''': Good lord. You'd think people would be queueing for some of that organic Welsh dandelion mucus bar, wouldn't you? :'''George''': I know, you would! :'''Janet''': Sarcasm, George. :'''George''': Oh, right. :'''Piers''': And guess who was guest of honour at the Northholt GP's Annual Dinner Dance last night? Only your favourite television doctor! :'''George''': Not Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman! ===Mission Impossible=== :''(George is waiting for his suit to come out of the washing machine while a space station is heading towards Earth.)'' :'''George''': Come on! Come on!! :'''Woman on Radio''': I can't think where he is! Why isn't he here? :'''George''': BECAUSE THE WASHING CYCLE'S NOT FINISHED! <hr width=50%/> :'''Piers''': You all right, George? :'''George''': ''(Scratching)'' Yeah, I think I must be allergic to something. :'''Piers''': To Janet perhaps! ''(Laughs)'' Well, it could be anything. Something you ate, biological washing powder, insect bite, heat rash. :'''George''': ''(To Janet)'' You use biological washing powder!? :'''Janet''': I'm sorry, George. It's not the first thing you ask. :'''Mrs Raven''': Last time I tried anything biological I got triplets. <hr width=50%/> :'''George''': She read the physical intimacy page. Once a month, Arnie! :'''Arnie''': So? You did tell her it was an Ultron month? Equivalent to an Earth day. :'''George''': ''(Relieved)'' I had no idea! :'''Arnie''': It's a lie, George, but how the hell is she gonna know? <hr width=50%/> :''(Performs check-up on George as he thinks he's Thermoman)'' :'''Piers''': Now, I know we have been rivals for Janet's affections :'''George''': I think she prefers me, Doctor.

I've injured another human being! I haven't done that since that time a blew a policeman through a wall! :'''Janet''': You blew a policeman through a wall? :'''George''': Yeah, well, I flew into the police station, and he said "Well, blow me!", so I did. :'''Janet''': You're lucky that's '''all''' he said... ===Thermoman's Greatest Challenge=== :'''Piers''': ''(To Thermoman)'' You fancy her, don't you? ''(Janet)'' Let me tell you now, you're not her type. She doesn't go for men who are famous and extremely successful. :'''Thermoman''': You know someone like that, do you? :'''Piers''': I am someone like that. ''(Proudly)'' And thats not swank. :'''Thermoman''': No? :'''Piers''': I'm no swanker! <hr width=50%/> :'''Piers''': Actually, you can go home early, Mrs. Raven. I'll clear things up here. :'''Mrs. Raven''': Oh, thanks, Doctor. I've gotta get home quickly anyway. My sister's on ''Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'', and I've gotta be by the phone. :'''Piers''': Ah, you're one of her "phone-a-friends"? :'''Mrs. Raven''': Yeah, I'll probably get it wrong... I hope I do, I hate my sister! <hr width=50%/> :'''Piers''': Now, Thermoman, I was wondering if you could help me, mate? :'''Thermoman''': Help you ''mate''? Well, sexual problems aren't really my thing... <hr width=50%/> :''[Thermoman is guest of honour at a charity party at the health centre. Mrs. Raven is serving wine and cheese]'' :'''Mrs. Raven''': Wine... Cheese... Wine... Wine... Cheese... Listeria... Cirrhosis of the liver... :'''Piers''': Mrs. Raven, try and be more friendly with them! Show them you know who they are. :''[Mrs. Raven goes to the Mayor]'' :'''Mrs. Raven''': Evening, Mayor. Little wine? Or would it interfere with your antibiotics? <hr width=50%/> :''(Thermoman enters for the first time]'' :'''Thermoman''': Greetings, people of Northholt! :'''Mrs. Raven''': Wine? Cheese? Me? :'''Thermoman''': I cannot, but thank you for the offer! :'''Piers''': "Thermo", mate! Why don't we get a picture of the two 'celebs' together? :'''Thermoman''': Yes, where is the Mayor? <hr width=50%/> :'''Mrs. Raven''': Wine... ''(Drinks some wine)'' Cheese... ''(Eats some cheese)'' More wine... ''(Drinks some wine)'' Sod the cheese! ''(Drinks more wine, and more wine...)'' :'''Piers''': Don't you think you've had enough, Mrs. Raven? :'''Mrs. Raven''': I'll know when I've had enough - I'll get merry! :'''Piers''': And how much wine will that take? :'''Mrs. Raven''': I don't know, it's never happened yet! ===Old Man Riverdance=== :'''Janet''': George, if your father does let us stay together, and we have children, what would they be like? Human or Ultronian? :'''George''': Hmm... Probably a bit of both. In human terms, brilliant! In Ultronian terms, seriously retarded! ===The Party's Over=== :''(About a woman in a cafe named "Carol")'' :'''George''': She seems friendly. :'''Arnie''': She's a hooker, George. :'''George''': A hooker? God, I love Rugby. :''(Speaks to woman)'' :'''George''': Arnie tells me you're a hooker. It's a grand old game, very physical. Although I think more women should take it up. :'''Carol''': You do, do you? :'''George''': Oh yes. Now for me, I prefer to watch. Right now, I have only seen men. :'''Carol''': You're sick! :'''George''': Nah! It's just a touch of hay fever, thanks for asking <hr width=50%/> :'''Tyler''': ''(to Mrs. Raven)'' When can I see you again? :'''Mrs. Raven''': When Hell freezes over! :'''Tyler''': Right, um, Tuesday it is, then. =Series 2= ===Christmas=== :'''George:''' Happy Christmas, Tyler. :'''Tyler:''' No, be afraid. For it will not be a happy Christmas. The Anti-Christ is coming!...... :'''George:''' No, Tyler. I've had a word with the Anti-Christ and he's staying at home this year. :'''Tyler:''' You have saved the world once again. <hr width=50%/> :'''George:''' By the way, who is this Santa Claus? :'''Janet:''' It doesn't matter George, he's just someone who comes and brings children presents on Christmas morning. :'''Tyler:''' Yeah, he comes down the chimney and puts them in a big sock at the end of the bed. :'''George:''' Nice bloke. :'''Tyler:''' He is. I was at Junior School with him. ===Parents=== :'''Mrs Raven''': ''(About Thermoman)'' If he ever comes back, I'm giving him my body. :'''George''': What if he doesn't want it? :'''Mrs Raven''': He's getting it, whether he wants it or not! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ella is the leading lady in a new play.]'' :'''Ella''': Anyway, you'll soon see for yourselves. I think it's going to be one of the NADS' best productions! :'''George''': The NADS? :'''Piers''': The good old Northholt Amateur Dramatic Society. :'''George''': But... that's GONADS! <hr width="50%"/> ''(After George has ruined Janet's parent's play by shouting and cheering.)'' :'''Janet''': We just want to say we're really, really sorry. George has only ever been to a panto, he thought all plays were like that. How are you feeling now? :'''Stanley''': ''(Watch alarm goes off)'' Time for another prozac. ''(Hands the pill to Ella.)'' ===Girlfriend=== :''[Xil, supposedly George’s Ultronian fiancée, has come to claim him]'' :'''George''': Actually, I feel a bit sorry for her. It's not hard to see why she's come. Poor girl. :'''Janet''': Poor girl?! :'''George''': Yeah, you only have to look at her. Honestly, how is a girl who looks like that ever going to find a husband? :'''Janet''': George, here on Earth, a girl who looks like that could get anyone's husband! :'''George''': Really? Even with those long, shapely legs? And those boring, perfectly spherical breasts? What a ridiculous planet this is! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piers''': Alright, Mrs. Bennett, just keep putting the cream on it, but if it gets any worse, be a love and change doctors, okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': Mrs. Raven, it's incredible! You look even ''more'' miserable than usual! :'''Janet''': George, Mrs. Raven isn't herself today. :'''George''': That must be a relief! For both of you! <hr width="50%"/> :''[George asks Arnie for advice on trying to get out of marrying Xil]'' :'''George''': Can you remember back to something very significant we both did when we were six? :'''Arnie''': All kids do that kind of stuff, it doesn't make you any less of a man... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ella''': Janet, can I have a little word? :'''Janet''': Yep. How about 'go'? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mrs Raven''': So... No George today? :'''Janet''': No, he's been busy. :'''Mrs Raven''': I bet he has. Well, I think it's great how you trust him enough to be alone. In that little flat. With that woman. Who'd stoop to anything! :'''Janet''': There's nothing to worry about. George promised he wouldn't have sex with her. :'''Mrs Raven''': Oh, I didn't realise he'd promised! Well then, it's admirable that you trust him. Or completely bloody stupid. :'''Janet''': Look, can we change the subject please? :'''Mrs Raven''': Course. Do you think euthanasia is ever justified in long-term geriatric treatment? :'''Janet''': Who cares!? George is in my flat with the bitch queen from planet slut! <hr width="50%"/> :''[As George prepares to leave Earth for good...]'' :'''Arnie''': You ready, George? :'''George''': No, Arnie. This is the darkest, most depressing day of my existence. Life doesn't get any worse than this. :'''Arnie''': You wanna hear my best man speech? :'''George''': I stand corrected. ===Car=== :'''George''': Arnie, if I gave you your powers back, and you then saw a woman trapped on a runaway train, would you: A) rescue her, B) rescue her and charge her a fee, or C) rescue her, ask her to sleep with you, and if she refuses, throw her back on the train? :'''Arnie''': Can I phone a friend? :'''George''': You could if you had one. <hr width=50%/> :'''Mrs Raven''': Flu? You're coming in here with flu?! :''(Patient nods, Mrs Raven holds and piece of cabbage on a stick over her mouth and rings a bell twice)'' :'''Mrs Raven''': Unclean! Unclean! :''(Mrs Raven stops ringing the bell)'' :'''Mrs Raven''': You, over there. :''(Mrs Raven points to the seats surrounded by a fence with a biohazard sign attached to it, spraying the patient as she takes her seat)'' :'''Janet''': Did you get to your anger management class last night? :'''Mrs Raven''': No, the therapist is still in intensive care <hr width=50%/> :'''Janet''': I know it's none of my business, Mrs Raven, but do you think some of this hostility might be because you're, well... unattatched? :'''Mrs Raven''': My sex life's my own affair, thank you Oprah. Always has been...Apart from the triplet incident. :'''Janet''': But if Mr. Right came along? :'''Mrs Raven''': There is no Mr. Right. There's only Mr. Crap, Mr. Tit and their friend Mr. Total Tosser! The only good place for a man's on a mortuary slab. :'''Janet''': Lovely. :''Piers walks into the surgery.'' :'''Mrs Raven''': Oh, fasten your seatbelt. Here comes Mr. Tit. ===Nemesis=== :''[George is fixing things on the shelf behind the counter in his shop. He turns round and jumps in fright, gasping. Mrs. Raven is standing there.]'' :'''Mrs. Raven''': Did I scare you? :'''George''': You ''always'' scare me, Mrs. Raven. :'''Mrs. Raven''': Good. :'''George''': Now, how can I help you? :'''Mrs. Raven''': I'm desperate. The triplets have discovered thrash metal. :'''George''': Oil of Lavender. Very good for headaches... :'''Mrs. Raven''': No, I'd prefer something for the triplets! :'''George''': Mrs. Raven! I've told you before, I can't sell chloroform over the counter! Anyway, I'm sure they're not that bad. :'''Mrs. Raven''': You've never seen them, have you? :''[She gets a photograph out of her handbag and shows it to George. He gasps again.]'' :'''George''': Oh my god! :'''Mrs. Raven''': Yeah, that's the standard reaction. :'''George''': ''(Nervously)'' Are... are those horns? :'''Mrs. Raven''': No, that's just the way they like to gel their hair! :'''George''': What age were they then? :'''Mrs. Raven''': 6, 6, and 6! Now if that weren't an omen! <hr width=50%/> :''(being possessed by Rovi Grubbeldim)'' :'''Piers''': I'm going to destroy the whole world and everybody in it...apart from [[w:Britney Spears|Britney Spears]]; I quite like her. <hr width=50%/> :'''George''': If you refuse the sacred challenge you're sent to the four corners of the galaxy...in four separate packing cases. <hr width=50%/> :''[Piers, being possessed by Rovi Grubbeldim, cackles villainously.]'' :'''George''': Why do you keep doing that? :'''Piers''': It underscores my evil - it's a flourish. <hr width=50%/> :''Rovi'': [about super attraction] (it works) On all but the cruelest and most hard-hearted of women :''Piers'': Mrs Raven? :''Rovi'': Mrs Raven. ==Series 3== ===Baby Talk=== :'''George''': I don't care what they say... Babies are more knackering than volcanoes! :'''Janet''': How could something so small cause such havoc? :'''George''': Now, there's no need to get personal. :'''Janet''': I meant the baby. <hr width=50%/> :'''Janet''': You’d better speak to him before my mother sees him. And she’ll want to see him before the christening. :'''George''': What’s the christening? :'''Janet''': It’s when you’re accepted into the church. You've heard of Jesus Christ? :'''George''': That’s what most people say when they see Thermoman. :'''Janet''': Well, he was this really great man who healed the sick and walked on water... :'''George''': The baby walked on water last night in the bath! Jesus was an Ultronian! <hr width=50%/> :'''Janet''': You’ve picked a name for him already! :'''George''': Yep. I’ve found the perfect name. It’s a biblical name, and it means something nice on Ultron. :'''Janet''': Oh, really? Well what is it? :'''George''': Pontius. :'''Janet''': Pontius? As in Pontius Pilate? :'''George''': Yes. It means "Great Heart" on Ultron. :'''Janet''': It means "Great Bastard" here! :'''George''': And his second name is Ulrich. That was my mother’s name. It means "warm heart" :'''Janet''': George, I am NOT naming my son Pontius Ulrich Sunday! More than anything, it spells pus! <hr width=50%/> :'''Arnie''': ''(to Mrs. Raven)'' Hey, Phantom of the Opera! How'd you like a stallion between your sheets? :'''Mrs. Raven''': I'd sooner sleep with an incontinent skunk! Get your coat. :'''Arnie''': ''(to George)'' Romance is not dead! ===Zero Tolerance=== :'''Piers''': I stopped a little vandal this week spraying “poser” on my brand new customised Porsche. :'''George''': Oh yes, I saw that. And on the other side he'd written "Useless toss-" :'''Piers''': Yes, thank you George! So I hauled him down to the police station. A small struggle, but I managed to get the better of him. And did they charge him? No, they did not! Honestly, these 5-year-olds can get away with murder! <hr width=50%/> :'''Mrs. Raven''': I made 4 citizen's arrests this week. :'''Stanley''': Really? What were they for? :'''Mrs. Raven''': Wasting a medical receptionist's time! :'''Stanley''': I don’t think that's actually an offence, Mrs. Raven. :'''Mrs. Raven''': Well, it's an offence to me! Coming here, wanting to change their appointments! So I arrested four of them and took them straight down to the police station. :'''Stanley''': And did they press charges? :'''Mrs. Raven''': Yeah. They charged me with wasting police time! <hr width=50%/> :'''George and Arnie''': Zneet znatter zneet! :'''Tyler''': Zneet znatter zneet! :'''Arnie''': Tyler, this is an Ultronian thing. We don't do it with humans. Not even weird ones. :'''Tyler''': Oh, okay. ''(He slowly walks away, upset)'' :'''George''': Oh, alright then. :'''George and Tyler''': Zneet znatter zneet! :'''Tyler''': Zneet znatter znooding zneet! :''(George and Arnie recoil)'' :'''George''': That's disgusting. :'''Arnie''': Not to mention illegal! <hr width=50%/> :''[Ultron Postman enters the flat from the bathroom and hands a blue envelope to George. He then goes out the way he came.]'' :'''Janet''': Does he have to come in through there? Last time I was in the shower. :'''George''': Oh, it's alright. He didn't mind. ===Pet Rescue=== :'''Janet''': We're looking after Biggles, Mum and Dad's dog, for a couple of weeks. :'''Mrs. Raven''': How old is it? :'''Janet''': About 5, I think. :'''Mrs. Raven''': Not much of an innings is it? :'''Janet''': Innings? :'''Mrs. Raven''': Well, it's gonna die, isn't it? Every time you look after someone's pet, they always die and they never forgive you. :'''Janet''': It's not going to die, Mrs. Raven. :'''Mrs. Raven''': Where is it now? :'''Janet''': With George. :'''Mrs Raven''': It's gonna die. Painfully, probably. :'''Janet''': Mrs. Raven... :'''Mrs. Raven''': Do you know, I looked after my cousin's cat once. The next day, it was run over and killed. My cousin never forgave me. :'''Janet''': It's hardly your fault if someone... You were driving the car, weren't you? :'''Mrs. Raven''': I hated that cat. ===The Older Man=== :'''Janet''': Mrs. Raven, were there ever times when you thought your husband wasn't quite the man you married? :'''Mrs. Raven''': Yeah, once. But it was my own fault. I shouldn't have kicked him there in the first place. <hr width=50%/> :''[Piers comes out of his office with a young blonde girl named Hayley, whom he has been 'interviewing' for a job as a nurse.]'' :'''Hayley''': Look! He's autographed my T-shirt! I'm so lucky! :'''Janet''': Not as lucky as him. That was a short interview. :'''Hayley''': Oh, it's not over yet. I've passed my Part One, but Part Two is all about "restaurant technique", apparently. :'''Mrs. Raven''': Make sure you drink plenty, or you won't enjoy Part Three much... <hr width=50%/> :''[George is aging very fast]'' :'''Arnie''': There is one thing you can do, George. But it's very risky. :'''George''': What? :'''Arnie''': You can go through... The Flaming Time Tunnels of Tarxis. :'''Tyler''': Been there, done that, got the T-shirt! :''[Tyler opens up his jacket to reveal a T-shirt underneath reading "I went through The Flaming Time Tunnels of Tarxis"]'' :'''Arnie''': It reverses an Ultronian's aging process by re-jiggin' the age hormones.

I AM a loser! ===The Living Dead=== :'''George''': You are going to be so proud of me! :'''Janet''': Why do those words always scare me? :'''George''': I've got myself a pension, it's brilliant!

The way he explained it was like this: I pay them £100 a month, and then, if I fall under a bus, they pay you £60,000!

It is their government and you are fighting a people, you are not trying to fight an armed force anymore. So it doesn't bother me so much to be killing the so-called innocent [[bystanders]]. ** Sherry, Michael (September 10, 1989). <i>The Rise of American Air Power: The Creation of Armageddon</i>, p. 287 (from "LeMay's interview with Sherry," interview "after the war," p. 408 n. 108). Yale University Press. ISBN-13: 978-0300044140. * My solution to the problem would be to tell [the North Vietnamese Communists] frankly that they've got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression or we're going to bomb them into the Stone Age. And we would shove them back into the Stone Age with Air power or Naval power—not with ground forces. ** ''Mission With LeMay: My Story'' (1965), p. 565. In an interview two years after the publication of this book, General LeMay said, "I never said we should bomb them back to the Stone Age. I said we had the capability to do it. I want to save lives on both sides"; reported in ''The Washington Post'' (October 4, 1968), p. A8. Many years later LeMay would claim that this was his ghost writer's overwriting. * Killing Japanese didn't bother me very much at that time... I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.... '''Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.''' ** On the morality of the firebombing campaign [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/peopleevents/pandeAMEX61.html]) * I'd like to see a more aggressive attitude on the part of the United States. That doesn't mean launching an immediate preventive war... ** ''Mission with LeMay: My Story'' (1965), p. 559. * ...Native annalists may look sadly back from the future on that period when we had the atomic bomb and the Russians didn't. Or when the Russians had acquired (through connivance and treachery of Westerns with warped minds) the atomic bomb - and yet still didn't have any stockpile of the weapons. That was the era when we might have destroyed Russia completely and not even skinned our elbows doing it. ** '' Mission with LeMay: My Story'' (1965), p. 560-561. * China has The Bomb. [...] Sometime in the future--25, 50, 75 years hence--what will the situation be like then? By that time the Chinese will have the capability of delivery too. That's the reason some schools of thinking don't rule out a destruction of the Chinese military potential before the situation grows worse than it is today. It's bad enough now. ** ''Mission with LeMay: My Story'' (1965), p. 561. * We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in [[North Korea]] anyway, someway or another, and some in [[South Korea]] too.… Over a period of three years or so, we killed off — what — twenty percent of the population of Korea as direct casualties of war, or from starvation and exposure? **''Strategic Air Warfare: An Interview with Generals'' (1988), p. 88. * If I see that the [[Russia]]ns are amassing their planes for an attack, I'm going to knock the shit out of them before they take off the ground. ** Conversation with presidential commissioner Robert Sprague (September 1957), quoted in Kaplan, F. (1991). ''The Wizards of Armageddon''. Stanford University Press. Page 134. * We’re at war with Japan. We were attacked by Japan. Do you want to kill Japanese, or would you rather have Americans killed? ** From his autobiography, also requoted in Rhodes, 'The Making of the Atomic Bomb', p. 596 * She [America] escaped the ruin visited upon other nations because she was given time to prepare and because of distance. [In the next war] distance will be academic [and no preparation time, too]. ** November 19th 1945 New York speech, as quoted in 'Dark Sun' p.227 (sadly, direct link to the page to read was denied by Wikipedia). * As far as casualties were concerned I think there were more casualties in the first attack on [[Tokyo]] with incendiaries than there were with the first use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The fact that it's done instantaneously, maybe that's more humane than incendiary attacks, if you can call any war act humane. I don't, particularly, so to me there wasn't much difference. '''A weapon is a weapon and it really doesn't make much difference how you kill a man. If you have to kill him, well, that's the evil to start with and how you do it becomes pretty secondary.

The main thing is ''stop it''. The quicker you stop it, the more lives you save. ** ''Mission with LeMay: My Story'' (1965), p. 565. *Actually, I think it's more immoral to use ''less'' force than necessary, than it is to use ''more''. if you use less force, you kill off more of humanity in the long run, because you are merely protracting the struggle. ** ''Mission with LeMay: My Story'' (1965), p. 382. * Any Ivy League academy asshole can issue orders and take the credit. What matters is when you place your own ass on the line, and your men know that you are not some armchair commander asking them to risk death while you enjoy the good life. Morale is everything, and you do not build it by typing goddamned reports and having cocktail parties. Strange, LBJ, and that ilk were like that. Those motherfuckers were whores paid to screw the public. And you know what? They never lost one night's sleep over it. They never had their ass in danger, and they never waited for the knock on the door telling them that their son was killed, all because some asshole with an Ivy League degree and a champagne glass in his hand decided that their boy did not need the money or weapons or even the fucking political support to stay alive. ** From a 1986 interview with Colin Heaton, as quoted by Colin Heaton and Anne-Marie Lewis, ''Above The Reich: Deadly Dogfights, Blistering Bombing Raids, and Other War Stories from the Greatest American Air Heroes of World War II, in Their Own Words'' (2021), p. 348-349 * You know the difference between a politician and a statesman? Here is the LeMay definition: a politician is a high-profile hooker looking for money to fund a campaign so that he can be in position to be owned by a political party, doing their bidding like a slave. Johnson fit that category. A statesman is a politician whose allegiance is only to their nation, and who, despite the feelings of others, does what he believes in his gut is in the best interest of his country, politics be damned. That even means doing something that may cost him his career, but he takes the moral high ground as he sees it, to do what must be done. That was Churchill. That's the difference. Ronald Reagan is a statesman, and make a note of it- we may not have any more in the future. They are a damned dying breed. That also applies to military commanders. You can have a charismatic, friendly, and amiable type of leader, but that is a difficult position to hold when you have to maintain discipline. It can be done, but it is hard. Then there is the hard-ass, no-holds-barred, get-it-fucking-done leader who pushes his men and expects ever-better results afterward. The easygoing leader may be liked more by his men, but the hard-ass will sure as shit have their attention, and if she shares the dangers with them, he will have their respect. Respect is everything. ** From a 1986 interview with Colin Heaton, as quoted by Colin Heaton and Anne-Marie Lewis, ''Above The Reich: Deadly Dogfights, Blistering Bombing Raids, and Other War Stories from the Greatest American Air Heroes of World War II, in Their Own Words'' (2021), p. 349 *Dear Rosy, In June Strategic Air Command had fourteen accidents. Eleven of the fourteen were in the Fifteenth Air Force. Do something. Sincerely, Curtis E. LeMay, Lieutenant General, USAF, Commanding. ** From a letter to Maj Gen Emmett O'Donnell Jr., Commanding General 15th AF == Quotes about LeMay == [[File:SAC Shield.svg|thumb|No other U.S. military force commander so imprinted his personality and ideals upon his organization as did LeMay.

SAC became LeMay personified- but only after tremendous effort on his part. There were no criticisms of his intellect or industry, nor any suggestion of patronage, but the hard, and often seemingly cold, manner in which he drove SAC gave rise to many stories about him, most of them apocryphal.''' In 1951, at the age of forty-six, he was confirmed as a full four-star general, the youngest since Ulysses S. Grant. LeMay was "the Iron Eagle" to his admirers, and simply "Iron Ass" to detractors who feared him. Some of his seemingly tough demeanor probably stemmed from a deadened nerve that left his face immobile and unsmiling. In practice, LeMay took better care of his troops than anyone else in the Air Force, and his tenure at SAC was filled with achievements such as improved housing, pay, recreation, promotion, medical care, and other vital personnel requirements. The most important assessment of LeMay was defined by the loyalty and the high morale of the people he commanded. ** Walter J. Boyne, ''Beyond the Wild Blue: A History of the U.S. Air Force 1947-1997'' (1997), p. 99 * After his retirement in 1965, LeMay ran as a Vice Presidential candidate in George Wallace's 1968 third-party bid, a move that tarnished his reputation in the eyes of many. One time, later in his life, he was in the company of several other retired four-star generals, including his former aide David C. Jones, himself a former Chief of Staff of the Air Force and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The evening had been mellowed with some drinks, and the conversation took a daring turn- for retired or not, LeMay was still LeMay- to the question of why the general had supported Wallace. Jones recalls LeMay saying that he had not run because of political ambition- he had none, and knew that Wallace could only lose- but because he feared the direction the country would take if the Democratic candidate won. LeMay told the little group of intimates, friends for many long years, "Don't tell me about George Wallace. I know all about George Wallace. I knew he had no chance of winning. But I ran with him anyway because I thought he could take enough votes away from Humphrey. Humphrey would have been a disaster for this country as President." Always the strategist, LeMay wanted to add enough strength to Wallace's ticket to split the Democratic vote and thus defeat Humphrey. In essence, LeMay was making a last great sacrifice, his political reputation, to serve his country's cause as he saw it. ** Walter J. Boyne, ''Beyond the Wild Blue: A History of the U.S. Air Force 1947-1997'' (1997), p. 99-100 * If his politics offended some, there could be no censure of his military record. No one, friend or foe, doubted for a moment that he made SAC into an elite force, capable of strategic operations on a scale never before conceived and conducted at a level of proficiency that became the standard for the USAF. Inevitably the USAF became the benchmark to which the Army and the Navy, not to mention many foreign armed forces around the world, would aspire... LeMay was a genius at organization, and the Management Control System (MCS) he installed at SAC Headquarters (and which was replicated at lower levels of command) is but one example of his style. The MCS gave LeMay the capability to spot every breakdown or potential breakdown within the SAC system, and because lower-echelon commanders were aware of his system and used it themselves, potential breakdowns were usually detected and corrected before they occurred. LeMay also had the capacity for choosing good subordinates, delegating authority to them and letting them do their job. Not all of his choices were popular. His deputy and later successor at SAC, General Thomas S. Power, had a reputation for cold-hearted efficiency that many considered bordering on sadism. LeMay knew that Power was tough- but he also knew that he got his job done, and that was what counted. ** Walter J. Boyne, ''Beyond the Wild Blue: A History of the U.S. Air Force 1947-1997'' (1997), p. 100 * When LeMay arrived to take over command, he was disappointed but not surprised at what he found- senior Air Force officers were aware that the Strategic Air Command in 1948 was woefully lacking in proficiency, discipline, and professionalism. He went to work immediately to correct things, using on-the-spot leadership to do so. ** Walter J. Boyne, ''Beyond the Wild Blue: A History of the U.S. Air Force 1947-1997'' (1997), p. 101 * Lemay's style was to have his best crews set the highest standards, then provide more than adequate training and flying time for other crews to reach those standards of proficiency. He also insisted on scrupulously accurate records and very demanding evaluation procedures, knowing that he had inherited an air force that had reflexively gone from the rigors of war to the pleasures of a really well equipped flying club, one that paid you for belonging. It was a long process, for SAC was expanding rapidly. When the author joined the Strategic Air Command in January 1953, as a green second lieutenant freshly graduated from flying school, he was puzzled by the flying club atmosphere. Flying the big Boeing B-50s was done as a sport, radar bombing, navigation, and gunnery scores were fudged, and the principle occupation seemed to be playing hearts in the briefing room. Then one bright day Lemay's inspection team came in. Heads rolled, rigorous standards were introduced and enforced, and reporting became squeaky clean. Oddly enough, everyone still retaining his head was happier with the new system. ** Walter J. Boyne, ''Beyond the Wild Blue: A History of the U.S. Air Force 1947-1997'' (1997), p. 102 * After the first [[w:Vietnam Day Committee|International Days of Protest]] in October, 1965, [[:w:Mike Mansfield|Senator Mansfield]] criticized the "sense of utter irresponsibility" shown by the demonstrators. He had nothing to say then, nor has he since, about the "sense of utter irresponsibility" shown by Senator Mansfield and others who stand by quietly and vote appropriations as the cities and villages of North Vietnam are demolished, as millions of refugees in the South are driven from their homes by American bombardment. He has nothing to say about the moral standards or the respect for international law of those who have permitted this tragedy. I speak of Senator Mansfield precisely because he is not a breast-beating superpatriot who wants America to rule the world, but is rather an American intellectual in the best sense, a scholarly and reasonable man -- the kind of man who is the terror of our age. Perhaps this is merely a personal reaction, but when I look at what is happening to our country, '''what I find most terrifying is not Curtis LeMay, with his cheerful suggestion that we bomb everybody back into the stone age,''' but rather the calm disquisitions of the political [[scientists]] on just how much force will be necessary to achieve our ends, or just what form of government will be acceptable to us in Vietnam. What I find terrifying is the detachment and equanimity with which we view and discuss an unbearable tragedy. We all know that if Russia or China were guilty of what we have done in Vietnam, we would be exploding with moral indignation at these monstrous crimes. ** [[Noam Chomsky]] "[http://www.chomsky.info/articles/19671207.htm On Resistance]", ''The New York Review of Books,'' December 7, 1967. * '''I used to receive a hundred calls a year from people who wanted me to get into the Green Room at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, because that's where the Air Force stored all the material gathered on UFOs. I once asked Curtis LeMay if I could get in that room, and he just gave me holy hell. He said, 'Not only can't you get into it but don't you ever mention it to me again.'''' ** [[Barry Goldwater]], quoted in ''The New Yorker'', April 25, 1988, p. 70 * An excellent pilot and officer equally capable in both combat and staff, LeMay was typical of the bomber-minded generals who emerged from World War II to dominate the Air Force during the Cold War. ** James F. Dunnigan & Albert A. Nofi, ''The Pacific War Encyclopedia, Volume 1: A-L'' (1998), p. 363 * SAC had been established by belligerent old General Curt LeMay and General Tommy Power, both pronuclear nutcases. Under their rules, if a wing commander messed up even a little bit he was canned and gone forever, so SAC fostered attitudes about how tough they were. What they really did was made a bunch of liars out of many wing commanders, DMs, and DOs. Guys at wing level were scared people. They would lie, cheat, steal, and deny- anything to make themselves look good. ** Robin Olds, ''Fighter Pilot: The Memoirs of Legendary Ace Robin Olds'' (2010), with Christina Olds and Ed Rasimus, p. 372 * '''When LeMay scared the hell out of his people, he made something out of them that I don't think was their true nature. He made them cringe and hide the truth. He made them say, "Yes, sir, yes, sir," becoming chronic liars protecting their own skins.''' Whom were these guys going to promote? Whom were they going to favor in their OER (Officer Effectiveness Report) system? It wouldn't be somebody better, or even someone similar to them. A man like that has to have somebody working for him that he can dominate, and he is inevitably going to pick a lesser individual. After about twenty years of this system the incest destroys the force. '''I had a bunch of really great friends in SAC, but a big group of guys were developed into people who were afraid to think for themselves. They damn near destroyed the air force in the process.''' ** Robin Olds, ''Fighter Pilot: The Memoirs of Legendary Ace Robin Olds'' (2010), with Christina Olds and Ed Rasimus, p. 374 * Eventually the decision was reached to accept the armed chopper as an essential part of the air mobility concept but not to allow the Army to use the Mohawk as an attack aircraft, confining it to a reconnaissance role. Both were wise decisions. But prior to these decisions there were some hot and emotional sessions of the JCS. One concerned the armed Huey, which as then being used successfully in Vietnam to support ARVN operations, but which was considered by the Air Force as illegal poaching on their roles and missions. This was in the midsummer of 1964. General LeMay suddenly took his cigar out of his mouth and, gesticulating wildly, challenged General Johnson to an aerial duel. He screamed, "Johnson, you fly one of those damned Huey's and I'll fly an F-105, and we'll see who survives. I'll shoot you down and scatter your peashooter all over the goddamn ground." I was eager to defend my chief, both verbally and physically (LeMay would have made two Johnsons in body weight, if not in mental poundage) but Johnson motioned to me to keep quiet and responded quietly: "I'm not a flier, but I will be happy to get qualified and take you on- we can agree on a time and place later. But let's not waste the valuable time of our colleagues on such a trivial matter." ** Bruce Palmer, Jr., in his book ''The 25-Year War: America's Military Role in Vietnam'' (1984), p. 27 ==See also== *[[Herman Kahn]] *[[Bernard Brodie]] *[[nuclear weapons]] ==External links== {{wikipedia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:LeMay, Curtis}} [[Category:Military leaders from the United States]] [[Category:Aviators from the United States]] [[Category:Anti-communists from the United States]] [[Category:1906 births]] [[Category:1990 deaths]] [[Category:People from Columbus]] [[Category:People of World War II]] k2xzxfv5yzavt3lyd02m35ig2i3mhq3 Dead Like Me 0 7998 3147780 2910147 2022-07-26T21:14:24Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Dead Like Me|Dead Like Me]]''''' was an (2003&ndash;2004) American [[w:dramedy|dramedy]] show. ==Season 1== ===Pilot (1.1)=== :''[The camera closes in on cubicle land, where a teenage girl with a dull expression listens to her headset.]'' :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' ''That's'' me.

Good for me! <hr width="50%"/> :''[George is sitting out of her going away party and Stephanie walks up to her and whispers something]'' :'''George''': Oh, no thank you. :'''Stephanie''': It's no big deal. It's just a little tab you put on your tongue. :'''George''': You know, I feel my current reality is altered enough. :''[Stephanie nods]'' :'''Stephanie''': I did one. :'''George''': G. F. Y.! :''[Stephanie hugs George making George feel violated]'' :'''Stephanie''': Let's look out for each other today, okay? :'''George''': Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :''[George walks into an office to find Stephanie hiding]'' :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' It turns out that certain remarks like, 'Let's look out for each other,' which seemed casual and meaningless had a special significance here at Happy Time. :''[Stephanie is under a desk rummaging through trash.]'' :'''Stephanie''': Fuck. I can't find it. I can't find it. :'''George''': Stephanie? :'''Stephanie''': I can't- I can't find it. :'''George''': You can't find what? :'''Stephanie''': Blue! Red's taken it over! :'''George''': Red's got blue? :'''Stephanie''': Red's been attacking all the colors! We gotta stop it! :'''George''': We do? :'''Stephanie''': Yellow's next. It doesn't stand a chance! Poor yellow. :'''George''': Why don't we go for a walk? :'''Stephanie''': Nope! No walking! :'''George''': I'm going to call the Color Police. ''[She picks up the phone]'' I'd like to report a color crime in progress. ''[To Stephanie]'' I'm on hold. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joy''': This is a lost cause. :'''Clancy''': Maybe we should split up. :'''Joy''': Fine! Fine, you walk away but you better find yourself one hell of a lawyer. :'''Clancy''': Split up to find the dog! :'''Joy''': ''[after a beat]'' Oh, that's a good idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': ''[contemplating suicide after his partner, Gary, has died]'' Why would I re-think this? Thirty years with that beautiful man and I am not getting into that bed tonight without him and I am not waking up tomorrow without him. I won't, I can't. We were going to Kyoto in the fall. They have beautiful gardens there and I won't go without Gary. === Nighthawks (1.12)=== <hr width="50%"/> :''[Rube passes out self-evaluation forms to the reapers]'' :'''Rube''': Mason, please write legibly. There were complaints last year. :'''Mason''': Well, that's ridiculous. I always had high marks for [[w:penmanship|penmanship]]. :'''Rube''': Seriously, I saw the thing. You write like you speak. I could barely understand a word. :'''Mason''': Oh, you know what? In all honesty, I was, like, on something when I filled out my form last year. :'''Rube''': Are you on something tonight? :'''Mason''': No. :'''Roxy''': For real? :'''Mason''': ''[grinning]'' Well, a little bit. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Daisy is sharpening all the pencils the Rube has provided for the reapers to fill out their forms]'' :'''Roxy''': Sharpen another pencil and I'm breakin' one in your little pink ass. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Rube walks over to Mason and George sneaks a peak at Rube's post-it.]'' :'''George''': ''[To Rube]'' It's 3851 Beatrice Lane! :'''Rube''': It's not your post-it. :'''George''': That's my old house! That's where my family is! :'''Rube''': I'm aware. :'''George''': Wha- who ''is'' it?! :'''Rube''': It's not your post-it. There are rules, Georgia. :'''George''': What is going to happen in my driveway? :'''Rube''': It's not your driveway anymore. :'''George''': You know what I mean. :'''Rube''': I do. It's not your driveway anyway. :'''George''': Well, then. I'm coming with you. :'''Rube''': That's not going to happen. :'''George''': Someone dies, at my house, and you don't tell me about it?! What the fuck is wrong with you?! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Talking about Rube's flashbacks of George]'' :'''George''': ''You'' have a problem with ''me''? :'''Rube''': Yes, ma'am, I do. And one thing you should know about me by now, I am a problem solver. :'''George''': How do I put this delicately? :'''Rube''': ''[To the test-takers]'' Does this concern you? ''[To George]'' Try and choose your words carefully. :''[George nods and is ''very'' angry.]'' :'''George''': Blow me. :''[George walks away.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rube''': If you stand too close to a painting — all you see are patches of color, if you stand too far back, you can't see any of the detail. Right now this is your particular perspective and if you ask me—- :'''George''': I'm a little too close. === Vacation (1.13)=== :'''Daisy''': What do you say the very second we're done here, we go back to my place for a drink? :'''Mason''': Don't fuck with me Daisy. :'''Daisy''': I probably won't, but a drink isn't gonna kill anybody, least of all us. Right? <hr width=50%/> :'''Roxy''': ''[about Crystal]'' Does it type? <hr width=50%/> :''[Daisy's final thought before dying]'' Why has no one ever loved me? <hr width=50%/> :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' Maybe death was the temp job, and life was the vacation. A vacation you were supposed to spend with the people that you loved… with the people who loved you, and if life was that kind of vacation, what then? What would your last thoughts be then? <hr width=50%/> :''[The reapers are all in the Happy Time office, late at night, taking advantage of the fact that the Gravelings are taking the day off to catch up on paperwork.

Rube's butt-boy? :'''George''': Why? Did you resign? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rube''': A wise man knows how much he doesn't know. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Clancy's cell phone rings]'' :'''Joy''': You answer that phone and I will absolutely shove it up your ass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' The day I dropped out of college, I remember lying on my bed. My mother came into my room, and she'd been crying. She stared at me for a long time and then she said, "You only have one shot at life, Georgia. This is no dress rehearsal." And I said, "You know what, Mom? Maybe I don't even want to be in the play." A month later I was killed. I wonder sometimes if someone was listening. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' That night, a man was killed by a speeding car and I was there to take his soul. The street on which he died turned into a flowing river of light, and he hesitated at its banks. I told him to take a deep breath as if its the last one you will ever take, because sometimes in life, or in death I guess, you just never know. == Season 2 == === Send in the Clown (2.1) === :'''Mason''': Nah, five deaths is not a disaster. :'''George''': How many deaths ''is'' a disaster? :'''Mason''': More than five. Five's bullshit. :'''George''': How many? :'''Mason''': 16 to 20, disaster; 21 and up, catastrophe; 8 to 15 is a calamity. :'''Rube''': 7 and under? :'''Mason''': That's a cryin' shame. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mason''': Are you going to finish those hashbrowns? :'''Roxy''': Probably not. :(''he takes them from her plate and eats them. Roxie stabs him with her knife but he moves his hand just in time.'') :'''Mason''': Fucking bloody hell. :'''Roxy''': I'm outta here. :'''Mason''': Did you see that? I mean just because I wanted some of her hashbrowns. :'''Rube''': I was there. :'''Mason''': I've never seen such violence over such small potatoes. :'''Rube''': Oh, that was almost clever. :'''Mason''': What was almost clever, Rube? :'''Rube''': The thing about the hashbrowns being small potatoes. :'''Mason''': I don't get it...because hashbrowns ''are'' small potatoes. :'''Rube''': Never mind. === The Ledger (2.2) === :''[Mason practices at being the world's most incompetent [[w:shell game|shell game]] actor.]'' :'''Rube''': You know why people play the shell game? :'''Mason''': Because they think they can beat the odds. :'''Rube''': Wrong. They think they can beat ''you''. They think they're smarter than you. ''[pause]'' In this case, they're right. :'''Mason''': I'm smarter than you think. :'''Rube''': You smart enough to play stupid? :'''Mason''': I am so smart, I'm practically retarded. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Security Expert''': Ripoff. Report... Identify... Prove... Ostracize... Fire. :'''George''': ''[aside, to Delores]'' Rip-of? :'''Security Expert''': You got a problem there Millie? :'''George''': ''[aka Millie]'' You misspelled ripoff. You dropped an 'f'. :'''Security Expert''': Oh I see. We have ourselves a smart-ass. :'''George''': Don't you mean smart as? === Ghost Story (2.3) === :'''Rube''': When I was your age, I used to treat the crust like it was just there to hold the good stuff in. I used to leave the whole back end of it on the plate. As I got older, I learned to appreciate the crust. <!-- said with accent, like "loined to ay-preciate" --> <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' Once upon a time, there was a girl named George. Who couldn't quite forget… there was once upon a time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''' ''[after being asked what animal she thought best described her]'' I'm a cat. I mean not like a house cat, not like Murray, Delores. I'm a stray, who wanders the streets alone, kind of distant and mean. I'm not a cat you'd wanna pet or bring home to your kids... you just don't know where those claws are, ya know, and I'm a black cat and I have many, many lives... and now you know who I am. === The Shallow End (2.4) === :'''Daisy''': You do that, you know. You withhold the love. :'''Rube''': How can I withhold that which I do not possess? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Theo''': Relax, son, they're just balls. === Hurry (2.5) === :''[A woman cuts in line at the post office]'' :'''Rube''': Afternoon, ladies. Are you two old friends? :'''Woman''': Eh, her daughter is in my son's class. :'''Rube''': I have a question for you. Is everyone in this line an asshole? :'''Woman''': Excuse me? :'''Rube''': Is everyone you just cut in front of an asshole? :'''Woman''': Uhm. No? :'''Rube''': So it's just you then. :'''Woman''': I have children in the car. :'''Rube''': I have a cake in the oven. He's got three minutes left on the meter. She's got a lunch meeting. We all have a finite amount of time. Now get in the back of the line. And don't use your children like that — it's shameful. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': Everyone says "live in the now," but that's bullshit. I mean, who lives in the moment? We're too busy thinking about what happens next... or what didn't happen at all. === In Escrow (2.6) === :''[Crystal and George/Millie are chuckling over a digestively challenged applicant. Dolores is unamused.]'' :'''Dolores''': Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a ''serious'' affliction. Most people don't know this, but Marilyn Monroe had IBS. :'''George''': Is that what blew her skirt up? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Dolores has just given George a new assignment to pick an applicant for a new pharmaceutical company account]'' :'''George/Millie:''' Backup. Did you just say choose, me? :'''Dolores:''' No I said, "You choose." You're in a new position now. You're like, the prettiest girl at prom, or the sluttiest girl if you went to Catholic school. You get to pick. === Rites of Passage (2.7) === :'''Dolores''': You know, when you're young like you are, Millie, it's easy. Man, woman, bottom, top… sex is this ''big'' buffet, and you're just a… fat man with a fork, but… as you get older, it's harder to get a fork. <hr width="50%"/> :''[A newspaper clipping's succinct summary of George's death: TERROR TOILET TOTALS TEEN.]'' === The Escape Artist (2.8) === :''[Roxy gives Mason a hard time about ordering a drink during an airplane flight reap.]'' :'''Mason''': Roxy, I've never flown before. I'm a bit nervous, all right? :'''Roxy''': Well, congratulations, baby! Drink up. Buckle up. And don't ''fuck'' it up. === Be Still My Heart (2.9) === :''[Tending to a heart attack victim, Dolores discovers the office defibrillator has orange goo between the paddles.]'' :'''Dolores''': Who has been making grilled cheese sandwiches with the defibrillator paddles? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Clancy has given Reggie a poem, a portion of Shakespeare's Twelfth Sonnet.]'' :'''Reggie''': He said for you to read it. He said the end's the best part. :'''Joy''': Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake // And die as fast as they see others grow; // And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence // Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence. :'''Reggie''': What does it mean? :'''Joy''': It's Shakespeare. It means... it means you should have kids because then you're never alone. :'''Reggie''': Is Dad trying to get back together with you? :'''Joy''': No sweetie, no. He did it for you. It's about you. === Death Defying (2.10) === :'''Ray Summers''': Okay George, five reasons why men are scum and women let us get away with it. 1. We all only want one thing. No exceptions. 2. We fall in love before we have that thing, and then fall back out once we've had it, whereas women conversly fall in love afterwards. 3. We will lie, cheat, steal or murder to get that one thing. Why am I sugarcoating this? You're a big girl. In order to fuck you. 4. We freely admit the numbers 1 through 3 and women don't care, and the number 5 reason why men are scum and women let us get away with it: You can't live without us. :'''George''': (Raising her shot glass to toast him) Here's to your bullshit, Ray. (Throws three more darts and gets a bullseye on the last one) Fucking men. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': [''voiceover''] They say coming clean is good for the soul, that it puts things in perspective. You can get a sense of your place in the order of things...a sense of who you really are and what's important. This is my perspective. I am a grim reaper. I take souls. I do not go to prom. I do not live happily ever after. This is who I am. Anyone got a problem with that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mason''': And now Mason will show little Georgie the finer art of stress relief through petty vandalism. Don't get me wrong. We will egg Trip's fucking mansion, but first...[''Holds out a pen''] === Ashes to Ashes (2.11) === :''[Reggie leaves her dog J.D. in Joy's care when her Goth friend "Raven" finds him too "preppy".]'' :'''Joy''': ''[to J.D.]'' Oh, don't you worry. She needs a friend who's ''human''. Or something close. === Forget Me Not (2.12) === :''[Flashback to elementary-school-age George reading ''A Tale of Two Cities'' instead of going to her friend's birthday party.]'' :'''Joy''': We bought her a present! :'''Young George''': What did you get her? :'''Joy''': ''We'' got her a flannel nightgown. With pretty little flowers on it! :'''Young George''': Mom. You're gonna get me killed. :'''Joy''': Georgia, don't be silly. We're going. :'''Young George''': Not. :'''Joy''': You are so! :'''Young George''': So not. :'''Joy''': Why do you have to be so ''obstinate''? :'''Young George''': Obstinate. O-B-S-T-I-N-A-T-E. Stubborn. :'''Joy''': Georgia Lass, you cannot spend your entire life with your nose stuck in a book! :'''Young George''': Try me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[At a spelling bee, emcee G. McFadden's soul finds itself sitting beside George and Mason.]'' :'''McFadden''': What just happened? :'''Mason''': Oh, I'm afraid you are D-E-D… :'''McFadden''': No, that's D-E-''A''-D. :'''Mason''': I was joking! <hr width="50%"/> :''[At the restaurant, Mason and George return from the bee.]'' :'''Rube''': Hey! How'd it go? :'''Mason''': G-R-E-A-T. :'''George''': It was a spelling bee. :'''Rube''': ''[to Mason]'' Seriously, how'd it go? :'''Mason''': F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. :'''Rube''': How do I get it to stop? :'''Mason''': Well, go on, Georgie, tell him. :'''George''': Well, as far as senseless, brutal deaths go, I say it went beautifully. :'''Mason''': Yeah! So maybe a little simple "thank you" is in order, instead of your constant irritation, Ruby. Maybe a little bit of G-R-A-T… uh… t… i-i-tude, tude. :''[Rube hands out Post-its.]'' :'''Rube''': For you, and you. :'''Mason''': Where's Roxy? :'''Rube''': She has got a personal day. :'''Mason''': Well, why don't ''I'' have a personal day? :'''Rube''': Because you're an F-U-C-K-U-P. :'''Mason''': "Fuck up" has two words. :'''George''': Actually, "fuck-up" is a hyphenate. :''[They all look at her.]'' :'''George''': Well, it is! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ray introduces himself to Rube at Der Waffle Haus and shakes his hand.]'' :'''Ray''': That's quite a death grip you got there, Rube. <hr width="50%"/> :''[George tries to find a way to communicate to memory-challenged Nina that she has died.]'' :'''George''': Do you want to hear a story, Nina? :'''Nina''': Oh, I love stories. :'''George''': Well, once there was a girl named George. She was 18 years old. And she didn't have a husband William, she didn't have have a daughter named Beth, but she had a mom, a father, and a sister. And, one day, she went outside — it was a sunny day, a few clouds, but an ordinary day — and she went out to get some lunch, and this man… he stopped me. And he talked to me. And he knew my last name. I told him to leave me alone, but… then something from the sky fell. And I didn't feel anything. I couldn't remember ''anything''… at ''first''. But then I did. I realized… I ''died''. :''[George reaches over to Nina's memory Post-it pad.]'' :'''George''': I… ''died''. :''[She writes on the pad.]'' :'''George''': I'm ''dead''. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mason buries Ray's corpse as Daisy watches him through the window crying.]'' :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' There are things inside you that no one wants to face. Things that you keep secret, even from yourself. But secrets are funny. The things you try to hide always turn out to be the things you can't forget === Last Call (2.13) === :'''Mason''': You know, this morning, when you said you spent your last day on Earth, your very, very last day on Earth, stapling? :'''George''': Filing. :'''Mason''': My God, that's even worse. You said you regretted it, didn't you? :'''George''': Yeah of course. Who gives a shit? :'''Mason''': My God, I give a shit. Rube tells us to be on the periphery. To keep away from...things. To keep our distance from...life. Our family... :'''George''': Yeah? :'''Mason''': God, it is nonsense. You get close, Georgie, you get close to everybody that ever meant anything to you. :'''George''': Have you been drinking? :'''Mason''': Of course I've bloody been drinking. And it's last call. And you gotta...you gotta drink up while you still can. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daisy''':''[Rejecting Mason's ring]'' I won't fall in love, I won't get married, I won't grow old with someone, not with you or anyone. === Always (2.14) === :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' We think we can't do something… ''[chanting]'' we think we can't, we think we can't, we think we can't… but we can. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' I guess there's always something out there to hide from, something out there you just can't face. Three Mississippi. Four Mississippi. So you'll hide for as long as you can, but that's not easy either, all that hiding... Five Mississippi. In the end, what you were so afraid of turns out not to be so scary after all. Six Mississippi, seven. Because you have to know that if you're hiding, more often than not, your fears will come looking for you. === Haunted (2.15) === :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' Now that I'm older and… deader… I see that Halloween is amateur night for death. <hr width="50%"/> :''[George stops by her tombstone, where her sleeping mother and sister have camped out for El Día de los Muertos ([[w:The Day of the Dead|The Day of the Dead]]).]'' :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' I'm not supposed to be here… but I am. I don't know if I'm supposed to watch over them… or just haunt them. :''[She leaves some candy and tucks their blanket around them. She walks off, then turns back to see Reggie looking her way.]'' :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' Either way, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't having fun. :''[She smiles and resumes her departure.]'' :'''George''': ''[voiceover]'' I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be here. Walking through a graveyard, the day after Halloween… on a quiet and beautiful November morning… It's not so bad, being dead like me. ==Major cast== * ''Undead'' ** [[w:George Lass|Georgia "George" Lass]]: [[w:Ellen Muth|Ellen Muth]] ** [[w:Rube John Sofer|Rube]]: [[Mandy Patinkin]] ** [[w:Mason (Dead Like Me)|Mason]]: [[w:Callum Blue|Callum Blue]] ** [[w:Roxy Harvey|Roxy]]: [[w:Jasmine Guy|Jasmine Guy]] ** [[w:Betty (Dead Like Me)|Betty]]: [[w:Rebecca Gayheart|Rebecca Gayheart]] ** [[w:Daisy Adair|Daisy Adair]]: [[w:Laura Harris|Laura Harris]] * ''Living'' ** [[w:List of Dead Like Me characters#Joy Lass|Joy Lass]]: [[w:Cynthia Stevenson|Cynthia Stevenson]] ** [[w:Reggie Lass|Reggie Lass]]: [[w:Britt McKillip|Britt McKillip]] ** [[w:List of Dead Like Me characters#Clancy Lass|Clancy Lass]]: [[w:Greg Kean|Greg Kean]] ** [[w:List of Dead Like Me characters#Delores Herbig|Delores Herbig]]: [[w:Christine Willes|Christine Willes]] ** [[w:List of Dead Like Me characters#Crystal|Crystal]]: [[w:Crystal Dahl|Crystal Dahl]] ==See also== * [[Television shows]] * [[Wonderfalls]] ==External links== {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0348913|title=Dead Like Me}} *[http://www.deadlikeme.tv/ Dead Like Me at MGM] *[http://www.sho.com/deadlikeme Dead Like Me at Showtime] (not accessible outside U.S.) [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:2000s American comedy-drama TV shows]] [[Category:TV shows about death]] [[Category:Showtime shows]] jmscisgxhciuk6vroo0d19zr4um7g15 The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius 0 8154 3147781 3100184 2022-07-26T21:14:42Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]''''' is a show that ran on Nickelodeon from 2002–2006.

Planets live and die. But corporations go on, through good times and bad, because it's all about profit. {{hnote| On DVD, JMS comments: 'Yes, Max also does speak at times the voice of the author. But if - you know, if you can't speak your own voice from time to time making a show, what's the point?' }} <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': Never contradict a Technomage when he's saving your life. Again. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''' ''(to Matheson)'': Don't think. :'''Galen''': Yes, quite right. If you wanted to think, you should never have joined the military in the first place. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': I was just thinking on whether or not a comment would be 'most wanted or least needed'. :'''Gideon''': I thought you said you don't hold a grudge? :'''Galen''': I don't. I have no surviving enemies. ''At all.'' <hr width="50%" /> :''[Eilerson and Matheson are discussing going back to the planet.]'' :'''Eilerson''': I say we find out what the problem is, take care of it. I believe blowing it up is the usual solution to these things. And then we go back for the rest, and avenge the untimely death of Crewman... :'''Matheson''': Varelli. :'''Eilerson''': Varelli. ''[pauses]'' Vivisected. Terrible way to die. We have to have our priorities, after all. :'''Galen''': Did you say... vivisected? :'''Chambers''': Yes, nearly all his internal organs were missing. :'''Galen''': ...now that ''is'' interesting... <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': When you have reached the end of the road, then you can decide whether to go to the left or to the right, to fire or to water. If you make those decisions before you have even set foot upon the road, it will take you ''nowhere''. ''[pauses]'' Except to a bad end. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Holographic Galen''': Oh, my. Whatever shall I do? They've all left without me. I knew I'd forget where we parked that shuttle. I hope something dreadful doesn't happen to me. :''[He<!-- actually it's Galen's 'homunculus' - "something similar to a hologram but more substantial" --> looks up to see a ship overhead.]'' :'''Holographic Galen''': Oh, look. ''Something dreadful.'' <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''': They don't want us leaving with what we know. Too bad we don't know anything. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': If I'm going to die, I'd rather do so in a room with a view. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''' ''(ref:to Gideon)'': Ten years ago, I rescued a stray cat. That brings with it a degree of obligation. I can't exactly go wandering off every time he gets stuck up a tree, now can I? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': In the end, it's all the [[w:Book of Job|story of Job]], isn't it? :'''Gideon''': Some days, it feels like our faith is being tested, same as his. :'''Galen''': Where do you put your faith, Matthew? In science? Your luck? This ship? :'''Gideon''': I haven't decided. :'''Galen''': Well, then, if this ''is'' the story of Job, a great deal of people are being inconvenienced for your benefit. Hope you appreciate it. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Dureena attempts to get Galen to teach her everything he knows about technomancy.]'' :'''Galen''': The answer is still no. For now. :'''Dureena''': Then there's hope? :'''Galen''': There is always hope, only because that is the one thing no one has figured out how to kill. Yet. == [[w:The Needs of Earth|The Needs of Earth]] == :'''Chambers''' ''(on the porn that came from Eilerson's data crystal)'': There's something you don't see every day. :... :'''Chambers''': As a Doctor, I have to say that's totally unrealistic. An alien life form like the Pak'Ma'Ra is not biologically equipped to interface with humans in that kind of... :'''Gideon''': It's an amazing thing, technology. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''': I may have an idea. :'''Dureena''': I don't think you've recovered from your last good idea. :'''Gideon''': That would explain it. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Matheson''': How odd. To know everyone's heart but my own. == [[w:The Memory of War|The Memory of War]] == :''[Gideon orders that probes be dropped onto the planet.]'' :'''Galen''': I want you to know that this thing just made a very large dent in my ship. Did you ever think about looking outside before you start throwing things overboard? :'''Gideon''': Maybe next time you'll let us know when you're coming. So what brings you here this time? :'''Galen''': An attempt, in all probability foolish and useless, to prevent you from going down to that planet. :'''Gideon''': Galen, my people have been looking for this place since we left Earth. Now that you're here, what could you possibly say that would change that? :'''Galen''': Well, how about if you go down there, the odds are that none of you will return alive? ''[pauses]'' Clear me for docking. Put away the breakables. Turn on the landing lights. I'm coming in. <hr width="50%" /> :''[The crew finds a planet that is a [[w:paradigm|paradigm]] for Earth's infection with the Drakh plague.]'' :'''Galen''': Oh, how wonderful. A paradigm. I'm sure the race that died beneath us would love to know that their fate had been reduced to a paradigm.''[pauses]'' Sorry. Do go on. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Eilerson''' ''(to Dureena)'': I've decided to re-define our relationship. You pretend that you can't speak. I'll pretend that I can't hear. We'll get along famously. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Gideon returns to grab a weapon.]'' :'''Eilerson''': Where are you going? :'''Gideon''': To follow a friend into hell. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Gideon talks to the Apocalypse Box.]'' :'''Apocalypse Box''': Do not trust. :'''Gideon''': Do not trust who? :'''Apocalypse Box''': Galen. == [[w:The Long Road (Crusade)|The Long Road]] == :''[Miners on a planet report sabotage... and a gold dragon.]'' :'''Galen''': If I'm right, this is definitely something you should see. :'''Gideon''': And if you're wrong? :'''Galen''': Oh well that hardly seems likely, now does it? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Alwyn''': If they come with guns, they will leave in boxes. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Alwyn's demon-like creatures are attacking Earthforce personnel.]'' :'''Galen''': The teeth are a very nice touch. :'''Alwyn''': You think so? Not too big? :'''Galen''': No, I think they are just about right. :'''Alwyn''': Yes, I suppose you're right. == [[w:Visitors from Down the Street|Visitors from Down the Street]] == :'''Matheson''': Showing that we can obey the new regs is all that stands between us and the creation of a new Psi-Corps. I'm not gonna be the one to mess that up. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Durkani''': Sooner of later, the truth is going to come out. The truth is -- :'''Kendarr''': Out of fashion. <hr width="50%" /> :''[launching the probes with the interstellar encyclopedia.]'' :'''Matheson''': There are probably some who'll say that by doing this, we are interfering with their culture. :'''Gideon''': Probably. Screw them. == [[w:The Well of Forever|The Well of Forever]] == :''[Galen visits Dureena's quarters for the first time.]'' :'''Galen''': What have you done to your quarters? :'''Dureena''': I made it the right size. I don't know why everybody else always makes things huge. This is the way I like it, nice and small. Have a seat. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': Do you think I'm hiding things from you? :'''Dureena''': Gideon says we all have things to hide. :'''Galen''': Does he? How unfortunate. I was hoping he'd come farther than that. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Upon first contact with the Fenn in hyperspace.]'' :'''Gideon''': No it's not! It's mating with us? :'''Galen''': Well it's not exactly the first contact situation that I'd envisioned, but ... <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''' ''(to Galen)'': I didn't ask how you screwed me, I asked why. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Galen''': Every technomage knows the fourteen words that will make someone fall in love with you forever, but she [Isabelle] only needed one. :'''Gideon''': What word? :'''Galen''': Hello. == [[w:Each Night I Dream of Home|Each Night I Dream of Home]] == :''[Lochely is walking around, having left Med Bay without permission.]'' :'''Lochley''': No, I'm fine, I'm fine. :'''Gideon''': Of course. You're just holding up the wall in case of emergency. :'''Lochley''': Yeah, well, I thought it looked kind of weak. I try and do my part. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Lochley has invited Gideon to stop by at B5.]'' :'''Matheson''': You're smiling. :'''Gideon''': No, I'm not. :'''Matheson''': With respect, sir ... :'''Gideon''': It's gas. Look, who are you going to believe, me or my face? == [[w:Patterns of the Soul|Patterns of the Soul]] == :''[After receiving orders to go to Theta 49, Eilerson complains about the destination.]'' :'''Eilerson''': IPX doesn't give paid holidays. :'''Gideon''': For a cause like this, I think we'd all happily chip in. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Max Eilerson''': [to Gideon] Must be difficult for you, being a career military officer, having to play the roles of jailer, ferryman, executioner. That's where we're different. I just do what I'm told. The corporation knows all, sees all, and tells very little. If we make a bad call, we can honestly say that we've acted in good conscience based on the information available. Absolution in absentia, the blessed state of being able to say, "It's not my fault." <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''': Granted, I'm a bit eccentric, as captains go. :'''Dureena''': Yeah. You gamble. :'''Gideon''': Yeah. :'''Dureena''': Yeah. You cheat. :'''Gideon''': That's subjective. :'''Dureena''': You never tell anyone the whole truth. :'''Gideon''': And who does? <hr width="50%" /> :''[Dureena finds a lost tribe of her people.]'' :'''Dureena''': Your colony is the last of our people. :'''Female Elder''': No! :'''Dureena''': Yes. Xander Prime is destroyed. That's why I travel with the Humans. Our world as you remember it is dead. Until today, I thought I was the last of our race. If you don't seek help for the plague, it will mean the true end of our civilization. == [[w:The Path of Sorrows|The Path of Sorrows]] == :'''Galen''': Now that I have your attention, be a good fellow and humor me. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Matheson walks in the bullet car, where Galen has just been for a few hours, sitting.]'' :'''Matheson''': You like going nowhere at 120 miles an hour? :'''Galen''': Of course. That is man's natural condition. == [[w:Ruling from the Tomb|Ruling from the Tomb]] == :'''Max Eilerson''': I try to never upset someone who's at the helm of a rapidly falling object when I'm in it. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lochley''': Look, Captain, I didn't ask for this assignment. This whole Drakh virus conference was Dr. [[w:Stephen Franklin|Stephen Franklin]]'s idea. ... Now when Earthforce asked for an officer to oversee it, the good doctor put me at the top of his shortlist. Now, right now, my main goal is to find a cure for this so I can go Earthside and thank Stephen in person with a large brick. :'''Gideon''': Well, there's incentive. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lochley''': Captain Gideon, 'security' happens to be my middle name. :'''Gideon''': That's all well and good, but just in case your last name is 'breach' it won't hurt for me to double-check. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Lochley confronts Gideon regarding an autopsy report.]'' :'''Lochley''': You know what you are? :'''Gideon''': Ruggedly handsome? :'''Lochley''': A control freak. :'''Gideon''': Can't I be both? <hr width="50%" /> :''[Trace and Eilerson argue over who gets to dance with Dureena.]'' :'''Dureena''': Gods, I am drowning in testosterone. :'''Eilerson''': Well, luckily for you, you're equipped with flotation devices. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lochley''': Who was your old hero? :'''Gideon''': Truthfully? John Sheridan. :'''Lochley''': John Sheridan? No kidding. :'''Gideon''': Were you ever under him? :''[Lochley chokes on drink.]'' <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lochley''': Can I be blunt? :'''Gideon''': That's a trick question, right? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''': You're telling me some guy actually managed to land you? Got you to lower your defenses enough to commit, and then let you get away? God, he must be the biggest loser in the galaxy. :'''Lochley''': Oh, major loser. They don't come any bigger. :'''Gideon''': Loser have a name? :'''Lochley''': John Sheridan. :''[Gideon spits out drink.]'' <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon to Lochley''': Captain, you are the most double-talking, suspicious, second-guessing individual I have ever seen since the last time I looked in a mirror. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lochley''': Do you believe that there is a supreme being? :'''Gideon''': Aside from John Sheridan? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Gideon''': Captain, I have five years to cure the Drakh plague. Do I believe in God? I'll get back to you on that in five years and one day. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Max Eilerson''': One man's lunatic is another man's saint or holy martyr. In the words of T.S. Eliot, "Saint and martyr rule from the tomb." <hr width="50%" /> :'''Dureena''': You know, on my world, it was considered great evil to even try to presume to speak on behalf of the universe. == [[w:The Rules of the Game (Crusade)|The Rules of the Game]] == :'''Gideon''': [[Plato]] once said that for everything that exists, there is a perfect form of it somewhere. A perfect Human being, a perfect chair, a perfect stick; so that everything is a Shadow of that one perfect form. Now, if we follow that train of thought, that means that somewhere in the universe there exists the perfect form of an absolute and complete idiot. And he left here an hour ago. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Eilerson''' ''(to Rolf Mueller)'': The term is prodigy. Seven letters, three syllables. I can see why it might give you problems. == [[w:War Zone|War Zone]] == :'''Gideon''': This is my command. I'll do whatever's necessary. If that means turning the entire galaxy upside down and shaking its pockets to see what falls out, then that's what I'll do. I'm not subtle. I'm not pretty, and I'll piss off a lot of people along the way. But I'll get the job done. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Trace Miller''': I've got plans for the weekend and being dead ain't part of 'em. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Dureena''': Yes, I'm a thief, and a damned good one. Need to get inside something? Get out? Tunnel under? Go around? Go through? I'm it. You're going to hit some pretty strange places and you're going to need a lock pick. There isn't a lock made that I can't get through. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Gideon hears Galen over a comline.]'' :'''Galen''': Hello, Matthew. I just wanted you to know that I am here, and I'm watching, in case you should need help. :'''Gideon''': Who's this? :'''Galen''': Have you forgotten me so soon? Sad, but the way of the world, I suppose. Expect me when you see me. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Eilerson''': I can appreciate dramatic irony as much as the next person, but this is pushing it a bit. <hr width="50%" /> :'''[[w:Drakh|Drakh]] Captain''': And when your world is gone, who will support you?

Some doubt how accurately Plato reflected some of Socrates statements and ideas, and think he often may have expressed many of his own ideas and attitudes through his portrayals of Socrates, but much of his testimony is generally accepted as accurate and genuine, and there is little definite reason to doubt some of it. There are also of course many variant translations of Plato and others from the ancient Greek that could be used, and when possible the translation used should be cited. ~ [[User:Kalki|Kalki]] 01:30, 28 May 2005 (UTC) :::::We also have Xenophon and (the obviously satire) Aristophanes. Plato, Xenophon, and Aristophanes all describe very different versions of Socrates such that I think we should be suspicious of our ability to judge what historical Socrates was like. In addition to this, there is a lot of reason (e.g. the advancement in thought in Plato's work after Socrates' death that is nevertheless communicated via Socrates, that Plato explicitly indicates that he was absent from certain conversations) to suppose that Plato didn't stick to an accurate description of Socrates' thought. -- Anon 7 July 2017 :::::OK, that's how I figured it might en deal as long as the everything is neatly explained, cited, and in order.

[This quote is widely attributed to Socrates. For example, as cited (p. 12) by: Sasser, Renee M., "The Perceptions of Teachers in a Rural South Georgia County Regarding Merit Pay Based on Student Achievement" (2011). Electronic Theses & Dissertations. Paper 387. <http://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/etd/387/>] * An honest man is always a child. * As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take the course he will. He will be sure to repent. * Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth — that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. * Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. * Beauty is a short-lived tyranny. * Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind. * Beware the barrenness of a busy life. * By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. ** Variant: ''By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.'' * Call no man unhappy until he is married. * Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty. * Could I climb to the highest place in Athens, I would lift my voice and proclaim, "Fellow citizens, why do you turn and scrape every stone to gather wealth, and take so little care of your children to whom one day you must relinquish it all?" * Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. * Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others. * Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for. ** Variant: ''Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.'' * Envy is the ulcer of the soul. * Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds. * Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit. * For who is there but you? Who not only claim to be a good man and a gentleman, for many are this, and yet have not the power of making others good.

If the reference is to some book ABOUT Plutarch, this should be made clear. Please clean up the attribution. The accusations of atheism, the introducing of foreign deities, and corrupting of the Athenian youth, which were made against Socrates, afforded ample justification for Plato to conceal the arcane preaching of his doctrines. Doubtless the peculiar diction or 'jargon' of the alchemists was employed for a like purpose. The dungeon, the rack, and the fagot were employed without scruple by Christians of every shade, the Roman Catholics especially, against all who taught even natural science contrary to the theories entertained by the Church. Pope Gregory the Great even inhibited the grammatical use of Latin as heathenish. The offense of Socrates consisted in unfolding to his disciples the arcane doctrine concerning the gods, which was taught in the Mysteries and was a capital crime. He also was charged by Aristophanes with introducing the new god Dinos into the republic as the demiurgos or artificer, and the lord of the solar universe. The Heliocentric system was also a doctrine of the Mysteries; and hence, when Aristarchus the Pythagorean taught it openly, Cleanthes declared that the Greeks ought to have called him to account and condemned him for blasphemy against the gods," — ("Plutarch"). But Socrates had never been initiated, and hence divulged nothing which had ever been imparted to him. Plutarch quoted by H.P. Blavatsky, in Isis Unveiled: A Master-Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology, Vol. I, Before the Veil, (1877) == my uncle passung == how did my uncle pass away ?

Our earth down here and the stones and all the places are in decay and is eroded, as those that are inside the sea from the salt..." == Envy quotation == * Τοῖς μὲν διὰ τοῦ ἡλίου πορενομένοις ἕπεται κατ' ἀνάγκην σκιὰ, τοῖς δὲ διὰ δόξης βαδίζουσιν ἀκολουθεῖ φθόνος ** As those who walk in the sun are of necessity followed by their shadow, so also those who tread the paths of fame are pursued by envy. *** Potentially from Strobaeus ''Florilegium'' XXXVIII. 34 [https://archive.org/details/dictionaryquota04harbgoog] [[User:IOHANNVSVERVS|IOHANNVSVERVS]] ([[User talk:IOHANNVSVERVS|talk]]) 16:28, 27 March 2017 (UTC) == Plutarch ??? == Under Quotes about Socrates we have the following remark attributed to Plutarch, which contains references to medieval Popes which Plutarch cannot possibly have made. If the reference is to some book ABOUT Plutarch, this should be made clear. Please clean up the attribution. The accusations of atheism, the introducing of foreign deities, and corrupting of the Athenian youth, which were made against Socrates, afforded ample justification for Plato to conceal the arcane preaching of his doctrines. Doubtless the peculiar diction or 'jargon' of the alchemists was employed for a like purpose. The dungeon, the rack, and the fagot were employed without scruple by Christians of every shade, the Roman Catholics especially, against all who taught even natural science contrary to the theories entertained by the Church. Pope Gregory the Great even inhibited the grammatical use of Latin as heathenish. The offense of Socrates consisted in unfolding to his disciples the arcane doctrine concerning the gods, which was taught in the Mysteries and was a capital crime. He also was charged by Aristophanes with introducing the new god Dinos into the republic as the demiurgos or artificer, and the lord of the solar universe. The Heliocentric system was also a doctrine of the Mysteries; and hence, when Aristarchus the Pythagorean taught it openly, Cleanthes declared that the Greeks ought to have called him to account and condemned him for blasphemy against the gods," — ("Plutarch"). But Socrates had never been initiated, and hence divulged nothing which had ever been imparted to him. Plutarch quoted by H.P. Blavatsky, in Isis Unveiled: A Master-Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Theology, Vol. I, Before the Veil, (1877) == my uncle passung == how did my uncle pass away ?

A stern nanny was no longer the fashion. Fewer and fewer of my graduates were hired. Finally, nanny had to close her lovely academy for good. :'''Kim''': So, this is about revenge? :'''Nanny Maim''': Do not interrupt, that is quite rude. Nanny Maim realized you could make more money making children unhappy, then she could making them happy. :'''Ron''': Hey, what’s more traditional than greed? :'''Kim''': And the, um, hench-babies? :'''Nanny Maim''': These little dears? They show just what traditional Nanning and firm discipline can accomplish. Also, feeding full-size henchmen gets a bit pricey. :'''Ron''': Cheap, that’s traditional too. :'''Kim''': The good guys getting free while the bad guy explains the plan… also traditional. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ron''': Ron Stoppable is more than a match for any baby!

Nothing. How do we know that they're not three feet tall, green and slimy? :'''Liz''': I guess we don't. :'''Maria''': And you know what else doesn't, like, particularly please me? The powers. How do we know they can't just, like, wiggle their noses and, like, poof us into an oblivion? :'''Liz''': I guess we don't. :'''Maria''': Okay, you're being, like, so casual about this.

God. :'''Liz''': I know. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Liz''': ''[Voiceover]'' The tough thing about following your heart is what people forget to mention, that sometimes your heart takes you to places you shouldn't be, places that are as scary as they are exciting and as dangerous as they are alluring, and sometimes your heart takes you to places that can never lead to a happy ending. And that's not even the difficult part. The difficult part is when you follow your heart, you leave normal, you go into the unknown. And once you do, you can never go back. === ''Missing'' === :'''Liz''': ''[Voiceover]'' It's funny how the world changes sometimes, how the streets you walked your entire life seem darker, colder. How the silence isn't so quiet any more. How eyes you've barely even noticed now look at nothing but you. How the walk home every night is no longer routine, but a victory. And then you begin to wonder. Maybe it's not the world that's changed. Maybe it's just you. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Max''': You said you'd be nicer to her. :'''Michael''': And you said you'd stay away from her.

I've missed a few days. But in my absence I've been thinking about some things, about life before Max Evans saved me, of how I used to pray for something to happen, something to just break the routine, you know, of school and work. Something that would make a small town feel bigger, that would make a small town girl feel bigger, too. And ever since I got my wish and Max Evans patched a bullet hole two inches below my ribs, I realized one thing: that the bigger your world gets, the bigger your problems get, too. === ''South 285'' === :'''Kyle''': What's the best thing that's ever happened to you? :'''Max''': Getting adopted, I guess. :'''Kyle''': I'm gonna shed a tear. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Maria''': I just...

And they all ended exactly the same way. He would come in a limo and pick me and my mom up and take us off to some exotic place where we'd live like royalty. Because, you know... I thought to myself, there's got to be something better out there for me than Roswell, New Mexico. :'''Michael''': Substitute a spaceship for a limo, and you know what i mean. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Maria''': Not if you were the last alien on Earth. === ''Riverdog'' === :'''Liz''': ''[Voice Over]'' All logic is gone. Here were my plans last night: finish my shift, dinner with the parents, half-hour of talking to Maria on the phone, then dive into this issue I've been having with geometry and hopefully finish in time to watch this A&E biography on Madame Curie. Instead, I took off in an open-air vehicle that probably shouldn't be allowed on the road to begin with, broke into a house, essentially stole things from it, and engaged in general bonding with aliens. Welcome to my world. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Maria''': I mean, it can never be. There's a number of obstacles.

My name's Eddie. === ''Blood Brother'' === :'''Liz''': ''[Voiceover]'': Have you ever had a moment when you're with the one person in the world you want to be with and the wind is blowing through your hair and the song that just describes your entire soul happens to come on, and then the person that you want to be with happens to love the same song and suddenly you realize you're listening to it together? And that no matter how crazy your life has gotten there's this one moment, this perfect moment, where you could just say that no matter what happens, nothing can take this moment away from me... : ''[A horse appears in the road ahead]'' :'''Liz''': ''[Voiceover]'': And then, something does. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Alex''': See, I mean, my point is... is that there's no garage band scene here at Roswell, you know? Which makes for a potential genius situation. I mean, we could start an entire music scene, you know? :'''Lester''': I think I'm tone-deaf. :'''Alex''': You are tone-deaf, Lester. That's why I was thinking the drums for you. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Liz''': Alex, I need you to do me a huge favor. :'''Alex''': Of course. Anything. :'''Liz''': I need your blood. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Maria''': Relax. God, you guys act like I've never tailed someone before. ''[drives in reverse]'' :'''Isabel''': Subtle. He'll never notice us going backwards. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Maria''': This is the second time you've dragged me to some cheap motel. :'''Michael''': Yeah, well, don't spread it around. You'll ruin my reputation. === ''Heatwave'' === :'''Alex''': It's amazing. You wanna know what? A couple weeks ago, if someone were to ask me who I would trust with my life other than my parents, I would have said you without skipping a beat. And now... now I feel like I don't even know who you are. :'''Liz''': Alex, I want to tell you, I do, but... it's not my secret to tell. Alex, I need to know what you told Sheriff Valenti. :'''Alex''': I want to tell ya, Liz... but it's not my secret to tell. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Max''': Liz, I think that what I'm afraid of isn't that we try this and it works out really badly. What I'm afraid of is we try it and it works out really well. I'm afraid of feeling everything that I know I would feel. Because I know it's not meant to be. And somewhere down the line, we're gonna get hurt. I can live with that. I just couldn't bear to hurt you. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Sheriff''': You were breaking the law. You were stopping honest, hard-working people from doing their jobs. :'''Amy''': Those honest hard-working people were destroying a 200-year-old piece of Native American architecture, raping our town of its history. :'''Sheriff''': Amy, the Native Americans wanted that thing torn down more than anybody. :'''Amy''': That's not the point. :'''Sheriff''': Well, it is kinda the point. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Isabel''': ''[about Alex]'' Well, he's a complex individual with... a lot of complexities. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :''[Liz and Max prepare to kiss]'' :'''Max''': So... :'''Liz''': So... let's hope nothing explodes. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Amy''': I was 18. Naive, clueless. Why did you pick on me? :'''Sheriff''': Because you were cute. === ''The Balance'' === :'''Maria''': Well, I guess when Liz was shot and Max dissolved the bullet into nothingness and then repaired the damages inside of her that would have otherwise left her dead, I guess that kind of changed my thinking. === ''Toy House'' === :'''Michael''': Well, I hope so, because dealing with frick and frack over there is one thing, but we can't bring adults into this and expect them to handle it. Adults are the enemy, Max. Remember that. :'''Max''': Michael, you say everyone is the enemy. :'''Michael''': They are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': It's cheating. You can't just wave your hand over a problem and make it go away. Why don't you figure out what's really going on with you, Michael...why you can't just piece together an apology like any normal human being. Oops. Maybe that's the problem <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': I have something to say to you. If anything like that happens to me again, like when I got sick, don't help me. I can't get indebted to anyone, and I can't get entangled. I got to be a stone wall. And when I'm around you sometimes, I don't feel like a stone wall anymore. :'''Maria''': Well, what do you feel like? :'''Michael''': I don't know. Like confused. :'''Maria''': Like human? :'''Michael''': Yeah, and I don't want to feel that way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': Max, you know what your problem is? You put everything on yourself...on your own shoulders. Maybe you should have some faith in the people around you. === ''Into The Woods'' === === ''The Convention'' === :'''Michael''': Yeah, you know what, I do. I'm here trying to figure out the meaning of my existence, and I'm tired of having to wade through the kooks like you and the freak shows like this in order to do it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': What did you tell him? Why did he come after me? You're the Sheriff. You're supposed to protect me. But all you've done is go after me! You believe all these crazy things. You're just like Hubble. You want me? Well, here I am! Take me. === ''Blind Date'' === :'''Liz''': Max! Max, please. We have to stop. Please, we have to stop. :'''Max''': Let's just keep running, you and me, away from here, away from everything. I see everything so clearly now. We'll go someplace where no one knows us. As long as we're together, nothing else Matters. :'''Liz''': You're drunk. Nothing that you're saying is true. :'''Max''': It's all true, Liz. It's how I really feel. It's all just magic when I think about you. :''[Max touches a lamp post and causes the light to shine in a pattern.]'' :'''Liz''': Max, turn it off. Anyone can see. :'''Max''': And when I'm not with you... I go crazy. :''[Max touches a car and the car alarm goes off.]'' :'''Liz''': Max. :'''Max''': When you're here... :'''Liz''': Oh, Max. Please. :'''Max''': You're my dream girl, Liz. :'''Liz''': And what if I believe you tonight? :'''Max''': Then we live happily ever after. :'''Liz''': And then what about tomorrow... when you go back to realizing who you really are, and all of your fantasies go away. :'''Max''': I'll still have you. :'''Liz''': This can never be normal, Max. :''[Max touches the tops of some parking meters, which then sparkle.]'' :'''Max''': What's so great about normal? === ''Independence Day'' === :'''Isabel''': Hey. Something's up with Michael. He's acting weird. :'''Max''': Weirder than usual? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max:''' I know what you're scared of, Michael. :'''Michael:''' No, you don't. :'''Max:''' You keep telling me how lucky I am... to have a great home, great parents. But in one way, it's harder for me, because when I screw up, I have no excuses. But you, you can do and say anything you want because you have Hank, and you can blame it on that. But what happens without him? It'll all be on you, that's what. :'''Michael:''' Well, leave it up to me to still screw it up, huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': He can't make up for in one night what he's never had in a lifetime. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Trucker''': Ain't no aliens in that town. Let me ask you something. If you were an alien, you can go anywhere in the world, would you pick Roswell? === ''Sexual Healing'' === :'''Maria''': I have never seen her like this. :'''Alex''': So this was like the kiss of the millennium? :'''Maria''': Alex, if they actually do it, she'll probably explode. :'''Alex''': Or maybe she'll explode if they don't do it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nancy Parker''': What exactly is an eraser room? :'''Principal''': It's a small room that we use to clean the erasers so that chalk dust doesn't fly all over the school. :'''Diane Evans''': Wait. I'm a little lost. You mean Liz and Max were cleaning erasers when they created this disturbance? :'''Principal''': No. They were what we used to call "making out." We're talking sexual activity here, not erasers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': I'm worried for you. :'''Liz''': Why? :'''Maria''': Because this isn't you. :'''Liz''': Yes, Maria, see... this is, this is me. I'm sitting right next to you. :'''Maria''': I just don't want you to go too far. :'''Liz''': I think I want to. :'''Maria''': Are you crazy? This is dangerous. This isn't like a game! We don't even know what could happen! :'''Liz''': Look who's talking! You were the first one to take the plunge, Maria! :'''Maria''': Michael and I just kissed. Okay, fine. We did a little more than kissing. But, look, I wasn't getting visions, and I didn't have glowing hickeys and rashes and... look, Liz, the bottom line is that we don't know what this is about, all right? Female spiders can, you know, bite off the males' heads after they mate. What if they need someone to mate with to get certain information, you know? And then... Blttt! You know? :'''Liz''': What're you been trying to say? That Max is just gonna bite my head off? :'''Maria''': Uh, no. What I'm saying is, how do you know that he's not like using you? :'''Liz''': Maria, because it... it... it feels right. I'm sorry. It feels right in a way that nothing has felt right in my life before. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': I want you to know that what I said about you being all shut down and that's why I had to fake the flashes, that was... wrong and very unfair. If something went wrong, it was because of me. I'm the one who's scared. I mean, I fake all kinds of things all the time with everybody. It's just you were the first person I actually ever admitted it to. :'''Michael''': Well... thanks for sayin' that, but it's not really true. :'''Maria''': What do you mean? :'''Michael''': It's not true about you being shut down all the time. I happen to know that for a fact. :'''Maria''': Really? How? :'''Michael''': Because you let me see you. The red sneakers, Maria. One had a Kermit patch on it, and the shoelaces were blue, and you had your dalmatian dog with you there, licking off your tears. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': Okay. Fine. If you know so much, then tell me, Max...what's my destiny? :'''Max''': I only know the part I'm hoping for. === ''Crazy'' === :''[Max and Liz are kissing in Max's jeep in a secluded woodsy area.]'' :'''Liz''': Do you mind missing the movie? :'''Max''': I heard it got bad reviews. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': All right... romantic. When you're with her, act like she's like the only girl in the room. :'''Michael''': She's usually the only other person in the room. === ''Tess, Lies and Videotape'' === :'''Max''': Liz, about what Michael said before, about Tess, I just...I want you to know that I don't feel anything for her. I look at you, and I know you're the person I'm supposed to be with. I've always known it. What happened here that day, when you got shot, and how that brought us together...it's fate. Look at me. You're the one, Liz...the only one. I could never be with anyone else. === ''Four Square'' === === ''Max to the Max'' === === ''The White Room'' === :'''Max''': You’ve made a mistake. :'''Agent Pierce''': I don’t think so. I know what you are, and now, you’re going to tell me everything. :'''Max''': I’m Max Evans. I live at sixty-twenty-five Murray Lane. You can call my parents. :'''Agent Pierce''': We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. What is the name of your home planet? :'''Max''': Earth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nasedo''': It’s inside you. Your program. :'''Michael''': Hey, I didn’t get the manual, ok? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': You’re not who I thought you’d be. :'''Nasedo''': Neither are you. :'''Michael''' How can you do this? How can you kill all these people? You don't care do you? :'''Nasedo''': Michael, if you wanna survive, if you wanna go back home, you have to be willing to fight for it. Do you understand? === ''Destiny'' === :'''Liz:''' Max, the day that you saved my life, your life just ended. :'''Max:''' No, that was the day my life began. Liz, when I was in that room, and they did what they did to me. You're what kept me alive. The thought of you. The way your eyes look into mine. Your smile. The touch of your skin. Your lips. Knowing you has made me human. Whether I die tomorrow or fifty years from now, my destiny is the same: it's you. I want to be with you, Liz. I love you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Valenti''': We'll be safe here for a while. :'''Michael''': There is no safe anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': It's not safe. :'''Maria''': It's never been safe. What difference does it make now? :'''Michael''': No, I'm not safe. All right, I mean, I can do these things that I can't control. Look at what I did to Pierce. I'm not going to take that chance with you. I don't want you to be around for what's going to happen. :'''Maria''': Wait. Don't do this to me Michael, please. You need me now, more than you have before, alright? :'''Michael''': No, I don't need anyone. :'''Maria''': Well, maybe I do. Did you ever think of that? I mean, look at Max and Liz. They can't bear to be separated. But you, you can just throw me away. Just like that. Why is that, Michael? Why? :'''Michael''': Maybe because I love you too much. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz:''' Max, you do have a destiny. You just heard it. I can't stand in the way of it. :'''Max:''' But you mean everything to me. :''[They kiss.]'' :'''Liz:''' Goodbye, Max. == Season Two == === ''Skin and Bones'' === :'''Max''' (voiceover): Well, I guess the natural place to start is...that I'm an alien...a hybrid, actually. You know, human DNA mixed with alien DNA...that kind of thing. Oh, I almost forgot. My sister Isabel and our friend Michael are also a little green around the gills. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': who is that? She looks familiar? :'''Alex''': Vanessa Whitaker. She's our congresswoman. :'''Maria''': I gotta start reading the newspaper. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': Girlfriend, I know we bonded over the summer. But I'm not ready to show you the bod just yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': I thought we agreed that it was over between us. :'''Maria''': You agreed, and then you avoided me the entire summer. :'''Michael''': Well, it is. :'''Maria''': Why? 'Cause you're destined to be with Isabel? :'''Michael''': No. I don't buy that. Because I'm destined to be the soldier, and a soldier can't have some chick at home waiting for him. :'''Maria''': Michael, half the movies ever made are about soldiers with chicks waiting at home for them. :'''Michael''': Well, be that as it may... :'''Maria''': I miss you, Michael. :'''Michael''': I know, but don't. === ''Ask Not'' === :'''Kyle''': Yeah. I just... I'm just not looking forward to dealing with all the little green men again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kyle''': Hey! This is my room & that's my jersey! :'''Tess'' Sorry! :'''Kyle''': No. Alright. Wear it. :'''Tess''': kinda uptight about nudity for a guy who reads jugs. :'''Kyle''': gimme that! :'''Tess''': oh the post-its? Nice touch. :'''Kyle''': Ok, listen. I don't know how they do things on Planet Vulcan, or whatever. But here on Earth we have this primitive human concept called, privacy. :'''Tess''': Keep talking to me like that & I'll slag you with my death ray eyes. :'''Kyle''': *stares* :'''Tess''': Kidding. You Buddhists have like no sense of humor. :'''Kyle''': How do you know about that? :'''Tess''': Buddhism for Beginners is also under your bed. How do you think the Buddha would feel about being sandwiched between Hustler & Busty Biker Babes? :'''Kyle''': Look, you can't tell anyone about that. :'''Tess''': why? :'''Kyle''': because I have a certain reputation. :'''Tess''': which the less said the better? :'''Kyle''': I'm serious :'''Tess''': Kyle Valenti, Buddhist. :'''Kyle''': look, I got into it over the summer :'''Tess''': Oh! Football camp! Guys are crazy about- :'''Kyle''': Listen! This... this whole aliens-are-among-us thing... it really screwed me up... made me question stuff... life, reality, my place in this universe... and you don't understand. You... you guys... you people turned my life upside down. I need a little clarity. I need a little peace of mind. :'''Tess''': No, I don't understand. I'm a girl from another planet. No family, no friends. Only 3 other people like me in the world. And the man I grew up with...the man who raised me...he was just murdered. You're right, Kyle. What would I know about needing peace of mind? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': And if he kills you? :'''Max''': Then you can be fearless leader. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brody''': Exactly. Do you know what this means, Max? Aliens. I mean, not like they're walking among us or anything stupid like that, but they're actually making contact with people right here in Roswell. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': This isn't about Tess. It's about you and me. You think I'm gonna forget about you or get over it or something, but... but I'm not. I don't... I don't care about my destiny or my planet or anything else. All I care about is you. So just know this... I'm coming for you, Liz. :''[Max walks back to the table.]'' :'''Maria''': Now that is a great man. === ''Surprise'' === :'''Alex:''': You know I can't believe you talked me into that. It was the most humiliating experience of my life. No one told me her parents were gonna be here. I did a striptease in front of her Mother. Are you listening to me? :'''Maria:''' One nipple does not constitute a striptease, Alex. :'''Alex:''' She saw my nipple?! OH GOD! :'''Courtney:''' Chill out NYPD Blue :'''Alex':''' Chill out? I spent $150 to rent this costume. And do you have any idea how it feels to walk around all day with a thong up your ass? :'''Courtney:''' & :'''Maria:''' YES! === ''Summer of '47'' === :'''Hal''': They looked like human fetuses. There was 4 to a sac. 8 total. That night, I packed my things and never came back. The base was on full alert. There was no way anybody or anything else could have escaped...and that's the story of Hal Carver. The only time I ever stuck my neck out to save anything...and it all went to hell. :''[Michael reaches out his hand and blows up the bottles from a distance] :'''Michael''': You saved me. :''[He then turns to Hal who is having trouble lighting his cigarette. Michael creates a flame on his thumb. Hal and Michael hug] === ''The End of the World'' === :'''Max''': You tried to get Tess and me together? :'''Liz''': Look, I know that you must hate me right now. I, um... :''[Max grabs Liz and gives her a long, passionate kiss. There are image flashbacks.]'' :'''Max''': I felt that... and I know you did, too, and I know you think that... that I need to let you go... for the sake of Michael, and Isabel, and my race... so you went to Tess. But she can't be you. Tess can never be you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': Do you know how hard it was for me to tell him that I didn't want to die for him? He's the only reason that I'm alive right now. You...you've...you gotta come up with another plan. Please go to someone else. I...I just...I can't do this anymore. :'''Future Max''': Just 25 minutes before I came here, I held Michael in my arms...dead. Isabel died 2 weeks before that. Now you have to do this. You have to find a way. All of our lives depend on it. :'''Liz''': How? What can I do that's gonna make you turn away from me? :'''Future Max''': I don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alex''': Do you have any idea what you've done to Maria? :'''Michael''': Dude, it was a misunderstanding. :'''Alex''': Look. I don't care that you've got 30 pounds on me or...or that you can kill me with some...some twisted alien power. I will not let you treat her like that. I...I don't care that Isabel treats me like crap, but no one does that to Maria, all right? She's not just some girl! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': I can't help it. I love her. What can I say? :'''Maria''': You're hopeless. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Future Max''': I've fought a thousand battles...but watching you do that was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. :'''Liz''': The look on his face...on your face. :'''Future Max''': Maybe it's for the best. For you, too. :'''Liz''': What are you talking about? :'''Future Max''': I saw you with Kyle. He's turning out to be a...a great guy. Maybe it would be better for you to be with a human. :'''Liz''': Don't you realize what you are to me...and you're always gonna be? You're the love of my life. Everyone else is gonna be second best. There'll never be another you. === ''Harvest'' === :'''Tess''': so you & Kyle? :'''Liz''': yeah. Oh, Kyle told me you two were getting involved. :'''Tess''': its ok, don't worry about it. :'''Liz''': I'm sorry. :'''Tess''': About what? All you did was sleep with him. How was he anyway? :'''Liz:''' oh.. I.. Um.. We... It was great. :'''Tess:''' Noted. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': You look like you got your heart stomped out. No, wait...that would be me. Well, if it's possible, you look worse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': That's the shirt I lost at work. What the hell is this? :'''Maria''': It's Graceland...and you're Elvis. === ''Wipeout!'' === :'''Maria''': So how does electricity work? :'''Kyle''': Why are you lookin' at me? We were both in the same remedial science class for 3 years. <hr width='50%'> :'''Maria''': Ok, we've got ginko, bee pollen, echinacea, C, D, E, calcium, St.John's wort , and pamprin... What? I was dating Michael Guerin. === ''Meet the Dupes'' === :'''Maria:''' It's a $100 tip! :'''Brody:''' Honestly? It's Ben Franklin. I can't stand the man. === ''Max in the City'' === :'''Isabel''': I know my brother, and I know that if there is one voice he will hear no matter where he is, no matter what he's doing, it's yours. Take my hand, Liz. === ''A Roswell Christmas Carol'' === :'''Isabel''': Actually I think Maria would find it in her heart to forgive you for exceeding the price limit, though there would be hell to pay if you gave the girl you love an electric toothbrush for Christmas. You're better off getting her no gift at all. :'''Michael''': No. I tried the "no present" idea last year. It didn't work. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isabel''': You know, is it too much to ask that one day a year, I can be like a normal human being with a normal life and have a merry Christmas?!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Hey, we're here for a reason, Max. So call me a selfish jerk, but I don't think we should risk everything just so you can feel a little bit better about yourself at Christmas. It's 3 against 1. I'm voted down anyway. :'''Max''': Michael. :'''Michael''': You made your decision before you walked through that door. I know you did. I could hear it in your voice, so why don't you just go do what you're gonna do... and make sure you don't screw up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': As beautiful as that is, Max... you can't keep doing it. I know it seems like there's no reason for those kids to have cancer or for a father to get killed saving his child or for any of it... but maybe there is. Maybe there is someone or something out there that's planning all of this, and maybe you have to respect it. You're not God, Max. You're the one that told me that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': I thought you didn't believe in God. :'''Max''': I believe in you. ''[grabs Liz's hand and squeezes it tightly.]'' === ''To Serve and Protect'' === :'''Maria''': Okay, okay, you’re a Max-aholic. I’m here for you. What can I do? :'''Liz''': Get me a life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kyle''':Look we're getting off the point. I really need some help. :'''Tess''': what do you want from me? I don't know what's gonna happen to you. Maybe nothing will. Or maybe you could develop super powers & start flying around Roswell in a big cape. *laughs* I don't know! === ''We Are Family'' === :'''Max''': Everyone we touch gets hurt in some way or another. 5 years from now, I don't want you to open your eyes and realize that...that you missed out. You're part of the group. You always will be. But you need to be allowed to...to grow. :'''Liz''': Why can't you come with me? :'''Max''': Because I can't. But I'll be watching you, Liz Parker. Wherever you go...and I'll be here when you get back. === ''Disturbing Behavior'' === :'''Maria''': Pretty weird, huh? Michael, have you ever even thought of the possibility that this guy more than just looks like you? Like he is you. Like your donor. Like your human side is him. Which means in some weird and twisted way, that he and his relatives are like your family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': Look, you wanna know why you look like Grandpa 1935? She has the key. So, you have two choices, all right? You can let her in on the whole alien conspiracy thing and hope that it shakes something loose from the dusty corners of her brain, or you can... No. You know what? That's not gonna work, so look... You have that one option, all right? :'''Michael''': No, no, no. What's my second option? :'''Maria''': You're not capable of it, I promise. :'''Michael''': Just say it. :'''Maria''': Form an emotional bond with Laurie. ''(Michael shakes his head)'' All right, fine. You don't like that answer, then go show her the secret alien handshake. :'''Michael''': ''(sighs)'' Okay, fine. What kind of psychobabble, Oprah crap do I gotta tell her? :'''Maria''': I can't put the words in your mouth, Michael. It's gotta come from you. It's gotta come from your-- it's gotta come from whatever organ you have sitting in for your heart. Just go over there and tell her in your own words that she can trust you, and make sure that she feels that you're being completely, emotionally honest. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Look, Laurie, I know a lot of people think you're pretty crazy. But the truth is, knowing everything you've been through, you seem pretty normal to me. I just want you to know that whatever you are to me-- a sister, a cousin, whatever-- you're the only family I've ever known, and I just found you. I don't... I don't want to let you go. I know you're scared to death of me, but... if you could find some way to trust me... I mean, I got all kinds of faults. And this one over here, you know (gestures to Maria) she can list them off for you if you want later on, but... the one thing I am is loyal. I will not turn my back on you. That's all I got to say. I don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy DeLuca''': Michael, I want you to listen to me very, very carefully. On this glorious, rebellious, lost weekend of yours, you will take care of my daughter. You will protect her and be kind to her, and she will have fun. You will not get matching tattoos, and you will not allow her to pierce any part of her body that cannot be shown in polite company. [Sniffles] And, Michael, if you have sex with my daughter, I will hunt you down and kill you like the mangy dog you are. Okay? :'''Michael''': Okay. :'''Amy DeLuca''': Call me if you need bail money. :'''Maria''': What'd she say? :'''Michael''': [Sighs] She wants you to have fun. === ''How the Other Half Lives'' === :'''Michael''': If it was me, I’d tell us to get screwed and call the cops anyways. :'''Maria''': That’s 'cause you don’t have any money Michael. People who do tend to get a little nervous when it’s threatened. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kyle''': What do you suppose alien crystals are going for on eBay? === ''Viva Las Vegas'' === :'''Michael''': Nightmares, Maxwell. I can't shake them. I've had them every night for two weeks. I mean my brain needs a vacation, or I swear to God I'm going to lose it on someone or something, and it's not gonna to be pretty. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Hey! I've been going through some heavy stuff the last couple of weeks. In case you missed it, I got shot. :'''Max''': I know, I healed you. :'''Michael''': You put your hand over my shoulder and you did your little trick like a robot. You're a machine, Max. You wouldn't know the first thing about what it takes to heal me. To really heal me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jim Valenti''': So you skipped school. Missing class is excusable if it involves saving a planet-- yours, mine, or any other. It is not acceptable if it is done in the name of under-age gambling. Is that clear? === ''Heart of Mine'' === :'''Michael''': Just kill me now. I don't do proms. I don't believe in them. :'''Maria''': You don't believe in them?! :'''Michael''': The whole thing is totally bogus. It's completely unnatural. :'''Maria''': You know what? I, I find it to be really unnatural that you're half alien warrior and half Grandpa Dupree! But I make do. :'''Liz (on her journal)''': We try to live responsible logical lives, but we can't tell our hearts what to feel. Sometimes our hearts lead us to places we never thought we wanted to go, and sometimes our hearts can be the sweetest gentlest things we have. Sometimes our hearts can make us feel miserable anger, excited and confused all at once. But at least my heart is open, and I'm writing again. I'm feeling. I'm breathing. === ''Cry Your Name'' === :'''Max''': You can't compare The Matrix to Crouching Tiger. :'''Michael''': Crapping Tiger is a chick flick with kung-fu. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diane''': Oh, honey. I wish -- I wish I had some kind of special powers or something to make all of this go away for you. :'''Isabel''': Special powers don't help. === ''It's Too Late and It's too Bad'' === :'''Maria''': If you're here to trash-talk, I'm gonna have to take a rain check, 'cause that is the only way I'm gonna get through a simple school day without losing it, all right? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tess''': You're scared to go home. :'''Max''': What is home? Is home really up there? I just feel like this whole idea about where we come from, and I want to believe it. I want to understand it more and more, but it just feels like this dream... this, this dream that I can never really quite touch or see or...feel. And earth just seems so much more... real. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': Michael. The idea that Alex might have died just because we're here... I can't bear it. All those times you would run off chasing some clue to find out where we come from. Why we're here. Where we belong. I always thought you were chasing something that wasn't out there, because in my heart, I believed that we belonged here, you know? That we were human. Lately, I've been thinking that you might have been right all along. :'''Michael''': Lately, I've been thinking I might have been wrong all along. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': I can't count on you. :'''Michael''': Yes, you can. I'll take care of this. I mean, I'm right here for you. :'''Maria''': But you won't always be. :'''Michael''': What? :'''Maria''': One day you're gonna leave me. You're gonna get on a spaceship and go away, and you being the perfect boyfriend right now is really not helping me. I can't lose anyone else, Michael. My heart can't handle it. === ''Baby, It's You'' === === ''Off the Menu'' === :'''Liz''': That was weird. :'''Michael''': What was? :'''Liz''': Maria just hung up on me. :'''Michael''': Happens to me all the time. === ''The Departure'' === :'''Max''': I always thought when we graduated I would give you my ring. ''[handing her the pendant they found at Atherton's]'' It looks like I won't graduate, so this is something from where I'll be. :'''Liz''': I can't believe that this is what I have of you. I can't believe that after everything... :'''Max''': Liz, you never slept with Kyle, did you? :''[Liz shakes her head no.]'' :'''Max''': I wish, I wish this all could have been different. I wish that so much. ''[kisses her]'' :'''Liz''': I guess that this is our goodbye. Just tell me one thing: do you love her? :'''Max''': Not like I love you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isabel''': What if I said I wanted to stay? :'''Max''': When we came out of the pods and we lost Michael, it was just the two of us in the desert and I knew that I wasn't alone, that I had my sister. To me, earth isn't home and whatever's out there isn't home, but you're my home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': There's a lot about you, Maria. There's a lot about you, but I think what means the most to me is that you're open. You know I can look into your eyes and I can see you. I can see what you're thinking. I can see what you're feeling. How much I mean to you sometimes, how much I piss you off sometimes. But I can always see you. :'''Maria''': I see you, too. :'''Michael''': No, no you don't see me. You know when Max and Liz would kiss, and Liz would get the flashes? And when we would kiss, you didn't. I know how much that hurt you. :'''Maria''': That doesn't matter to me any more, Michael. :'''Michael''': The reason you didn't get the flashes is because I didn't let you get them. I didn't let you see me. I've never let anyone see me before... because there are things inside of me that I don't want people to see. There's things inside of me that I'm not so proud of. But I've thought about it, and I want you to see me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Max... I can't go. Ever since we came out of the pods, I've been on some quest to figure out where I belong. I finally found home. The weird thing is, it's here, it's on earth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': ''[to Liz]'' I've been really wrong about a lot. But I was right about one thing: To get you into my life, to be around you, to love you. == Season Three == === ''Busted'' === :'''Max''': Rules? She has rules? :'''Liz''': Well, yeah. Yeah, since I told her that you broke my heart, without any of the alien details, of course. She thinks that we should just take things slow. Just dinner, then straight home, no plans for future dates. No making out. :'''Max''': So I suppose skinny-dipping would be against the rules, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Now if I'm to have any chance of graduating this year, I need to get into your Bio 101 class. :'''Mr. Seligman''': Why didn't you come to my Bio 101 class when you were in it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Mr. Seligman, I know you hate my guts. Personally, I hate yours, too. :'''Mr. Seligman''': This is how you ask a favor? :'''Michael''': But if you help me graduate this year, then you won't have to see me next year. :'''Mr. Seligman''': Well, you do have a point there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isabel''': Max! You idiot! What are you trying to do to our poor, clueless human parents? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': I want to do this with you, Max. Together. :'''Max''': Why? :'''Liz''': Because if I had lost a child, I would want you to help me find him. But that's only part of the reason. The other part is that I don't want you to slip away from me. I know what it's like to be with you, and I know what it's like to be apart from you. And I would rather be with you. === ''Michael, The Guys and The Great Snapple Caper'' === :'''Michael''': Yeah, you left the loving parents, the cushy home, college fund. Smart move. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': No matter how hard my parents try, nothing can keep us apart. I love you, and even when I can't see you in the day, I see you at night in my dreams. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Parker''': Did you have fun? Where you been? I'm asking you man to man where you took my daughter in the middle of the night. Be man enough to answer me. :'''Max''': We went to the desert. We didn't do anything wrong. :'''Mr. Parker''': It was wrong for you to see her at all. You know that. :'''Max''': I'm sorry. I love her. :'''Mr. Parker''': I don't give a damn about your love. Because of you, my daughter was arrested for armed robbery. She could've been killed. Did you ever think about that? Tell me you're not dangerous, Max. Tell me that being with you doesn't put my little girl's life in jeopardy. Yeah. That's what I thought. So now this is gonna stop. It's gonna stop right now, and you are never to see Liz again. And if you do... If I find out that you so much as sat next to her in class, she'll be on the next plane to Vermont. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steve''': You're a crazy bastard. You know that? :'''Michael''': Welcome to my world. === ''Significant Others'' === :'''Isabel''': Alex, I can't really talk to you about guys. :'''Alex''': I'm dead. I'm beyond getting jealous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': How am i supposed to help you find your child if i can't even be with you? :'''Max''': You are with me... All the time. All the time. === ''Secrets and Lies'' === === ''Control'' === :'''Kal''': How did you get to Los Angeles? :'''Max''': I-10 west, then straight north. :'''Kal''': Don't get cute with me, you prick. :'''Max''': Do you murder everyone who discovers you're an alien, or do they get a warning first? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kal''': So, this is the mighty king of Antar? A low-rent Tom Cruise with a $10 haircut? Buddy boy, you have no idea what you're gettin' yourself into. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isabel''': Michael... I don't want to put my life on hold. This is my one chance to be happy... To love someone and have him love me back without all of this garbage that has made us miserable our whole lives getting in the way. I've put a lot of thought into it, and I don't see any reason why Jesse has to know the truth. :'''Michael''': Well, knowing what I know about alien sex, he's gonna have major questions after the honeymoon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': I still can't believe Isabel's getting married. This is, like, a disaster of epic proportions. If you think Michael freaked when he found out, Max is gonna go ballistic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': I failed. And my son... He's up there somewhere. I've just messed everything up. Langley's life. Yours. I'm so sorry, liz. I'm so sorry. :'''Liz''': It's ok. It's ok. :'''Max''': I'll never leave you, liz. === ''To Have and To Hold'' === :'''Michael''': We've got bad news, Maxwell. Jesse Ramirez is... Ta-da! Human. Yeah, nice red blood cells. Not a green one in the bunch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Hey, no, sit down. None of us know what happened in that life. All we know for certain is who are in this life. And in this life, you're Isabel, and Isabel isn't the kind of person who's gonna betray her husband. === ''Interruptus'' === :'''Kyle''': Isabel, I'm all for denial as a... way of life, but you can't just run away from this one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kyle''': So what's the deal with this guy? :'''Michael''': Son of a bitch killed us. :'''Max''': All of us. :'''Kyle''': He killed you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kyle''': Nothing's ever simple with you people, is it? === ''Behind the Music'' === :'''Kyle''': Michael, Michael, Michael. Let me explain something to you. Here on the planet earth we have this thing called jealousy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': Michael, please don't do anything stupid or alien or both, please? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': What happened? :'''Michael''': It's over. :'''Max''': What? My Dad found something, what? :'''Michael''': No, it's not that. I saw Maria and what's-his name, Billy, together. :'''Max''': Together as in together? :'''Michael''': Worse. :'''Max''': What could be worse? :'''Michael''': They were singing together. :'''Max''': So you're jealous? :'''Michael''': I'm not jealous! ''[makes a lamp explode]'' My powers are slightly out of whack. :'''Max''': Out of whack? :'''Michael''': I've been blowing things up all day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': We're part human. We're supposed to have feelings. You keep them bottled up like this. They're gonna get out somehow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Evans''': You frighten me, Max. I don't think I know who you are any more. I'm beginning to think I've never known. === ''Samuel Rising'' === :'''Michael''': I'm not gonna starve because I have a weird girlfriend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Isabel''': You know, Michael, I, too, was miserable around the holidays until I found my calling. :'''Michael''': Making other people miserable. === ''A Tale of Two Parties'' === :'''Kyle''': Look, it's been a long time, all right? I used to be a fun guy. I used to have fun, but then the alien invasion happened, and I sorta- my social life started to suck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': So, wait a minute. My New Year's eve isn't being ruined by some life-threatening, hot flash alien disease. It's because Michael's drunk? :'''Max''': I think the alcohol affected his senses. Some sort of sensory overload. Everything's too bright, too loud. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': Shh. Shh. Shh. Look, his senses are super, super heightened. So if the lights are too bright, or if he hears anything really loud, it really, really hurts. :'''Michael''': Like your whispering is doing right now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': You're being way too self-sacrificing. :'''Micheal''': I want you to have a night off from all this alien crap. === ''I Married An Alien'' === :'''Max''': I will not stand here and be lectured by a descendant of an Ape! === ''Ch-Ch-Changes'' === :'''Liz''': What makes me different from everybody else is the fact that I was brought back from the dead by an alien. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': No, he risks so much when he healed me. It's what made me fall in love with him. :'''Kyle''': Yeah, me, too. :'''Liz''': Kyle! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': You guys are always giving me crap about being impulsive and stupid. Well you know what's stupid? Sneaking around in the desert while your father is watching our every move. :'''Max''': Shut up, Michael. :'''Michael''': Whose idea was it to bury the alien stuff anyway? What are we? Eight? It's called a safety deposit box. :'''Max''': I need the book translation. It might have something on Liz's change. :'''Michael''': You read it like 10 times. :'''Max''': Well maybe I missed something. :'''Michael''': What if there's nothing in there? :'''Max''': Well then I'll find somebody who knows something. ''[pauses]'' Even if I have to contact the FBI. :'''Michael''': Hey Max, I know this is a big deal, but you gotta keep calm. All right? Don't kick up any dust, if we get exposed we can't help her. :'''Max''': It's a risk I'm willing to take. :'''Michael''': Do I have to smack some sense into you right now?? I got a shovel here, I'll do it! :''[Max uses his powers to send Michael's shovel flying a few feet.]'' :'''Max''': There is something wrong with her Michael, and I don't know how to fix it. :'''Michael''': We'll figure it out. :'''Max''': And what if we can't? What if it gets worse? I've screwed up hundreds of times to find out who we are, do you know how many times Liz has?... Never. And this is what she gets in return. Look, I'm doing whatever it takes to help her. If you got a problem with that you can leave right now. :''[Michael walks away. He gets his shovel and goes back to where Max is digging and helps him.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Let me get this straight: you dumped me so you can go live your dream, and now you're telling me you're dropping that too? :'''Maria''': I'm sorry, I just really need some advice right now. :'''Michael''': It's like you said we're not linked anymore. I could invite you inside, tell you to stay in Roswell, because that's what I want, but you know what? I'm not going to be the guy you blame for ruining your life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': Just stop hurting me. :'''Max''': I wasn't trying to. :'''Liz''': No, but Max, you do. You always do. Why did you sleep with her? Why? === ''Panacea'' === :'''Micheal''': I guess the interview went well. :'''Valenti''': Piece of cake. :'''Micheal''': Drop my name? :'''Valenti''': I really didn't have to, Michael. She seemed pretty impressed with my resume, you know, being the sheriff and all. <hr width='50%'> :'''Maria''': What do you drink now? :'''Liz''': No...a little bit. <hr width='50%'> :'''Liz''': Max is dead. === ''Chant Down Babylon'' === :'''Michael''': ''[on top of Jesse pinning him down.]'' No you can't take her to the hospital. You can't! :'''Jesse''': Why? Tell me why. :'''Michael''': Because your wife isn't human. Okay. Understand that. Your wife isn't human. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Clayton''': Max Evans. He's still alive. He's in my head. His head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': First day of school, third grade. I'm standing by the lunch line arguing with that ass Mr. Trevors. He tells me that the cafeteria won't take my food stamps. I say that they're for food, aren't they? And he looks down on me, and he says with that scraggly mustache and that stupid comb over, he says, I don't take lip from welfare punks. I'm about to kick his balls up into his throat, but then I feel someone watching me. And it feels like a heat lamp turned on in the back on my neck, and I turned around and there you are. You're sitting at a table all by yourself. You're just staring right at me. So I walk over and I sit down. You're still staring at me with those big eyes. And you push your tray of food over to me, and you said that you can have my lunch. Right then, I knew you were different. You know, you were different like I was different like people liked you and wanted you around ''[trying not to cry]'', I want you around. I want you around, so please don't go. ''[he cries and lays his head down on her chest. He squeezes her hand, and we see Michael's hand turn white and the white travels to Isabel's hand and up her arm. She puts her hand on his back. Michael lifts up his head and looks at Isabel.]'' :'''Isabel''': You still owe me for that lunch. === ''Who Died and Made You King?'' === :'''Max''': Michael, what the hell is wrong with you?!? :'''Michael''': You. You were dead, Max, and now I'm lookin' at you and I don't know. Who are you, are you a ghost? And you're here in my face all day and you're freaking me out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kyle''': Well, maybe. But I realize that I'm part of something bigger than myself. :'''Jesse''': No, it's not bigger, it's all-consuming. There's a difference. They've robbed you of your life. :'''Kyle''': No, actually they gave me one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': You know what really pisses me off? No one ever listens to me. You didn't not even when we were together. All you tried to do was make me weak. :'''Maria''': No, I loved you! :'''Michael''': I stayed on this planet for you and you show your appreciation by dumping me? Yeah, you love me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': Okay, Michael's a freak show. :'''Liz''': What happened? :'''Maria''': He's like a desert-wandering Anne Heche times a thousand, babbling about how Max should've stayed dead because he'd be a better king or something. === ''Crash'' === :'''Kyle''': But what I was going to say was maybe Michael can get like "I'm eternally sorry" tattooed there instead and just flash it every half hour, regardless. Saves time, cuts stress. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Why am I always apologizing for who I am. :'''Maria''': It wasn't you, Michael. :'''Michael''': Yes it is me. ''[points at Max.]'' Max was dead. ''[points at himself.]'' I was king. I did what I had to do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': You scared I'm gonna find something? :'''Max''': I'm terrified they'll find you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liz''': It'll be okay. :'''Connie''': Should have gone with them. :'''Maria''': You would have been stopped. :'''Connie''': They could die. :'''Liz''': They have practice. :'''Connie''': Dying? === ''Four Aliens and A Baby'' === === ''Graduation'' === :'''Max''': Liz... they're taking our home from us. They want to kill us... and they might. But when I look in your eyes, I... I don't feel angry, or deprived. I feel like the luckiest half-human on the planet. You're pure... you're true... and you're real. And right now that seems like the only thing that's important. I want to be with you Liz... forever. :'''Liz''': Forever may only be twelve days. :'''Max''': Then we'll take those twelve days... ''[He places a diamond in Liz's palm and closes her hand around it]'' And we'll live twelve lifetimes. Liz Parker... will you marry me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maria''': I thought you were leaving. :'''Michael''': I am... but I just wanted... I dunno. :'''Maria''': To say goodbye? :'''Michael''': ''(struggles to form words, then speaks)'' ...I wanted to say that this thing has been screwed up from the beginning. You and me. Us. Just the whole long, stupid story... :'''Maria''': ...Thanks... :'''Michael''': But I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's meant so much to me, y'know. From day one, from the moment I kidnapped you and stole your car... I knew you were the girl for me. I never wanted anyone else... :'''Maria''': Michael... ''(takes a step towards him, sad, but touched.)'' :'''Michael''': I still don't. Just... Wherever I'm goin,' whatever I'm doin,' just know I'll always love you. <hr width="50%"/> <!-- Use this to separate quotes within the same episode. --> :'''Max''': I'm a member of that group of... outsiders. I always knew I was different and for a long, long time, all I wanted was to be another face in the crowd... but in the end, it wasn't possible. I guess it never was. So from now on, I'll just concentrate on being who I really am. Some of you might not like that. Some of you might even... find that frightening. But that's not my problem any more. I have to be who I really am and let fate take care of the rest. So... thank you, Roswell... Thank you for... for letting me live among you. Thank you for giving me a family. Thank you for giving me a home. == Cast == * [[w:Shiri Appleby|Shiri Appleby]] - [[w:Liz Parker|Liz Parker]] * [[w:Jason Behr|Jason Behr]] - [[w:Max Evans|Max Evans]] * [[Katherine Heigl]] - [[w:Isabel Evans|Isabel Evans]] * [[w:Brendan Fehr|Brendan Fehr]] - [[w:Michael Guerin|Michael Guerin]] * [[w:Majandra Delfino|Majandra Delfino]] - [[w:Maria DeLuca|Maria DeLuca]] * [[w:Colin Hanks|Colin Hanks]] - [[w:Alex Whitman|Alex Whitman]] * [[w:William Sadler|William Sadler]] - [[w:Sheriff Jim Valenti|Sheriff Jim Valenti]] * [[w:Nick Wechsler|Nick Wechsler]] - [[w:Kyle Valenti|Kyle Valenti]] * [[w:Emilie de Ravin|Emilie de Ravin]] - [[w:Tess Harding|Tess Harding]] * [[w:Adam Rodriguez|Adam Rodriguez]] - [[w:Jesse Ramirez|Jesse Ramirez]] == External links == {{wikipedia|Roswell (TV Series)}} <!-- optional --> {{wikipedia|Roswell High}} * {{imdb title|tt0201391|Roswell}} * [http://crashdown.com/episodes Crashdown.com Episodes transcripts] [[Category:1990s American science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:1990s American teen drama TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American teen drama TV shows]] [[Category:WB shows]] [[Category:UPN shows]] [[Category:Television programs based on novels]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] ft4rhorcug2fpf9zajbardgq96opj31 The Brady Bunch 0 11254 3147792 3142084 2022-07-26T21:19:06Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:The Brady Bunch|The Brady Bunch]]''''' ([[1969]]–[[1974]]) was an American television situation comedy, airing on [[w:American Broadcasting System|ABC]], based around a large blended family. == Theme song == * Here's the story of a lovely lady<br>Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.<br>All of them had hair of gold, like their mother,<br>The youngest one in curls.<p>Here's the story, of a man named Brady,<br>Who was busy with three boys of his own,<br>They were four men, living all together,<br>Yet they were all alone.<p>Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,<br>And they knew it was much more than a hunch,<br>That this group would somehow form a family.<br>That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch.<p>The Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch.<br>That's the way we became the Brady Bunch. == Season 1 == === ''The Honeymoon'' [1.1] === :'''[[w:Characters_of_The_Brady_Bunch#Peter_Brady|Peter]]''': ''[to Mike]'' I once saw a movie where a man was getting married.

It’s force of habit. Kids aren’t with us. :'''Desk clerk''': But you did ask for the honeymoon suite. :'''Carol''': Oh, it’s quite alright Mr. Pringle. You see … :'''Mike''': ''[interrupts her]'' It’s quite alright darling. No need to explain. It’s obvious that this gentleman doesn’t dig the modern generation. === ''Dear Libby'' [1.2] === :'''[[w:Characters_of_The_Brady_Bunch#Cindy_Brady|Cindy]]''': You cheated. :'''[[w:Characters_of_The_Brady_Bunch#Bobby_Brady|Bobby]]''': I did not.

It's where every unnatural death in the city comes to rest, waiting for an autopsy. :'''Tru''': You said "unnatural death"? :'''Davis''': Most of them. Because if there's even a hint that a death might be unnatural, murder, suicide, they come here. :'''Tru''': So every crypt... :'''Davis''': Has a body. That's right. Can you imagine the pain of losing someone before their time? Bottom line: most of these people shouldn't be dead yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': You ever been to a morgue before? :'''Tru''': Just once, when I was 12. :'''Davis''': Well, that sounds like a story. Are you sure you're interested in wor... in working here? Because, I'll be honest, uh most girls as pretty as you that come here...well they're...they're dead. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': Tru, why do I think you're not telling me the truth? :'''Tru''': I know I shouldn't have looked through the files. I just have a few questions. :'''Davis''': Oh what? About unsolved murders? :'''Tru''': Exactly. :'''Davis''': So let me get this straight. In the eight hours since you've started working here, you've decided to solve old cases? It's very ambitious. You know what I did today? I bought socks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Is everything okay? :'''Tru''': I'm having a day, Harrison. A day I would gladly explain to you if I thought I could but I can't, so I'm not even gonna try. And I heard another voice. :'''Harrison''': Wait. I don't understand. You mean like, you mean like Mom? :'''Tru''': No, not her. Someone else. :'''Harrison''': Dead? :''[Tru nods]'' :'''Harrison''': Oh, boy. :'''Tru''': And that's not even the half of it. Believe it or not, that's the half that makes sense. I-I just don't get it. Me of all people, why do they come to me? :'''Harrison''': Maybe because they know that you'll listen. :'''Tru''': Do you think I'm crazy? :'''Harrison''': I never thought you were crazy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': ''[at her mother's grave]'' It's been the strangest day. An understatement, I know. Did you have anything to do with it? I don't know. I only know... I wish this day had come 10 years earlier. Then maybe I could've saved you too. Instead I'll wait... for others. Some who have needed me longer than most. So maybe I couldn't save you. Maybe, just maybe... this is your way of saving me. === ''Putting Out Fires'' [1.02] === :'''Tru''': You like being a firefighter? :'''Nick''': Yeah, I like helping people. :'''Tru''': You don't worry about how dangerous it is?

What could be wrong? :'''Harrison''': Let's see, uh, last time we talked you told me that dead people were talking to you so, I thought I might be remiss if I didn't follow up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': Look, Tru, I know that the..the morgue is not exactly Party Central but don't worry, things will pick up. :'''Tru''': Actually, that's what I'm afraid of. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': I thought when you asked for help, it was for you. Now I know it was for Samantha. You saved her. Everyone's calling you a hero. I don't want to sound selfish...but I wanted both of you. You said your job was a chance to help people. All they have to do is ask. So is mine. So ask me, Nick. Please? I'm not leaving till you ask. So please ask me, Nick. Please, just ask. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': I don't know if I can take this. :'''Gardez''': Well, believe it or not, it actually gets easier. Besides I like to think they're going to a better place. :'''Tru''': You believe that? :'''Gardez''': Well, if you're gonna work here, you gotta believe it. Of course, the dead get off easy.

But if I'm gonna help you I need you to be honest with me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': She needs me, I love her, and she needs me. :'''Tru''': You can't save her it's not your responsibility. You go there tonight you're gonna kill him. :'''Harrison''': Fine, he deserves what he gets. :'''Tru''': And then what, you end up where, in jail for life or worse? :'''Harrison''': Well what, do want me to be like dad, stand by helplessly and watch the woman I love get murdered, is that what you want? :'''Tru''': No, don't make her into mom either. Don't make this about saving mom. Harrison, look at me, would you look at me? 22 years old and one way or another I've lost everyone I've ever loved. Our mother to a bullet, our father to lack of interest, Meredith to coke and ambition; don't you see? I can't lose you too, otherwise I'll have no one left. I'm cursed because I can see the future. If you go there right now, I'll have no one. Without you I'm all alone. :'''Harrison''': You will never lose me Tru... But I have to go. I gotta go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': We're all someplace for a reason, just sometimes we need to accept what that reason is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': ''[to Tru when meeting Sarah]'' For the future, two topics are off-limits when meeting my new girlfriends: my exes and their exes. === ''Past Tense'' [1.04] === :'''Tru''': Why does everyone think I look like a stripper? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': What if tomorrow is just today, all over again? :'''Tru''': Bite me, Harrison. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': Hey I took a semester of psych in high school. It's ''always'' about someone's mom. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': Harrison, I came here to talk :'''Harrison''': OK someone dies asked for help and you repeat a day, there we talked. :'''Tru''': Not quite what I meant by talking. === ''Haunted'' [1.05] === :'''Tru''': You ever have one of the greatest days of your life, I mean a really, truly great day, and then just feel like the whole thing got erased? :'''Davis''': You're assuming I've ever had a great day? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': It's not easy is it, bearing the burden you do. :'''Tru''': 'Scuse me? :'''Davis''': Some call it a blessing others a curse some see it as more of a calling. :'''Tru''': Davis. :'''Davis''': I know more than you think I know Tru, about what you can do, about how you can help the dead, give them a chance at life. Have a seat Tru, it's time I told you what I know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like crap. :'''Tru''': Thanks Harrison. I told you I've been up studying all night. Because in 45 minutes I'm going to be taking the biggest test of my life. :'''Harrison''': Right! The Top Cats. :'''Tru''': M-Cat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': The moon & the stars, it's the neighbor. :'''Bitchy neighbor''': You don't know what you're saying. :'''Paige''': For the first time in years I know exactly what I'm saying. :'''Bitchy Neighbor''': Paige, Paige, you've always been a smart girl. Be smart now. :'''Paige''': I'm a child, you son of a bitch, I was 9. === ''Star-Crossed'' [1.06] === :'''Davis''': So you're saying yesterday a guy and a girl went over a cliff in a car accident? :'''Tru''': Yeah :'''Davis''': Was I wearing this shirt? :'''Tru''': Unfortunately, yes... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Luc''': Are you okay? :'''Tru''': No really, I'm insane because I'm about to walk out on a date that's actually working, but there's just somewhere I have to be. :'''Luc''': Right now. :'''Tru''': There are times when I do this, take off. I really wish I could explain it, but I guess I'm not your average 22 year old girl, whether you believe me or not. I'm gonna call you later. If you're willing to give it another try, that's great. If not, I'll understand. No I won't. I'll be completely crushed, but I'll get it. Thanks. Really, I had a good time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lindsay''': Tru, love is never like it is in the movies. I mean, when was the last time you kissed and music swelled? You're lucky if you can find a guy who can tell time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': ''[on the phone]'' Davis, remember when I said this was Romeo and Juliet? I was wrong it was Juliet and Juliet. === ''Morning After'' [1.07] === :'''Davis''': I finished running the numbers through the simulator. :'''Tru''': And? :'''Davis''': Well, based on the victim's own height and weight, as well as the location and moderate depth of the wounds, I believe that the killer was approximately 5'4", right-handed, and lacking upper body strength. Most likely a female. What do you think? :'''Tru''': I think... you just described me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': So I turned him over, there was a single wound. Right below the heart. I called 911, then he asked for help, and the day restarted and here I am. :'''Davis''': Mmm. So if I'm to understand you correctly, you had a party and you didn't invite me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lindsay''': Why didn't you invite your next-door neighbor? :'''Tru''': Are you kidding me? That guy's a creep. :'''Lindsay''': All the more reason to invite him. If he's helping make the noise, he can't complain about it, right? :'''Tru''': Well, it's too late now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': Call you a cab Sam? :'''Scott''': ''[Drunk]'' No, but it'd be great if you knew of a good place to throw up. :'''Tru''': Down the steps, to the right, and anywhere in the alley is fine. :'''Scott''': You rock! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lindsey''': I can't believe you had a stalker moment and I missed it. :'''Tru''': It wasn't a stalker moment. Mark and I just happen to be in the same place at the same time. :'''Lindsey''': That's what stalkers do. They just happen to be in your market, then they just happen to follow you home, then they just happen to chop your head off and seal it in a baggy. :'''Tru''': Lindsey! :'''Lindsey''': I'm just saying first the phone call now this. === ''Closure'' [1.08] === :'''Jake''': I mean, does your dad like the guys you bring home? :'''Tru''': He never met them. :'''Jake''': Oh, I'm sorry. He's dead? :'''Tru''': Just by choice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meredith''': Is there anything else that we could talk about beside autopsies? :'''Davis''': Sure. :'''Meredith''': Great. :'''Davis''': So, you a ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' fan? :'''Meredith''': No, sorry. :'''Davis''': Would you like me to finish the autopsy story 'cause it really does contain a lot of interesting things. :'''Meredith''': No, thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jake''': ''[about Tru]'' Guardian angel, stalker, you decide. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gardez''': What are you, writing his biography? :'''Davis''': Maybe rewriting it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': Well, [[w:Wonder Woman|Wonder Woman]] has got nothing on you. :'''Tru''': Except for the pointy bras and the invisible plane, no. === ''Murder in the Morgue'' [1.09] === === ''Reunion'' [1.10] === :'''Davis''': Cool, high school reunion. You going? :'''Tru''': Yes, I am. Again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': ''[To Tru]'' Do you know how annoying it is to have a sibling with your powers? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': High school was a time that pretty much sucked for most of us. Um, lets face it. It was all about being picked on and left out. It's about time we let bygones be bygones. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Judy''': How come girls like Candice always win and girls like me always lose? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Luc''': Look, I didn't know you back then, I'm not even sure i know you now, but you've got a lot to be proud of, good friends, a cool yet slightly morbid job, med school's not that far away. :'''Tru''': Oh I know, it's just... :'''Luc''': Plus you've got a cool new boyfriend you can take to the reunion and show off. :'''Tru''': Really? :'''Luc''': Yeah. === ''The Longest Day'' [1.11] === :'''Tru''': ''[on the phone]'' Hey Harrison, it's me. I've got some bad news. :'''Harrison''': Give it to me. :'''Tru''': You're gonna be evicted today. :'''Harrison''': Yeah, tell me something I don't know. :'''Tru''': Meredith's still in rehab, why don't you just crash at her place? :'''Harrison''': Or what about yours? :'''Tru''': Been there. Hated that. :'''Harrison''': Ah, a dreaded rewind day. So what did I do? :'''Tru''': Poker with the boys, food on my couch, flood in my kitchen. :'''Harrison''': Tru, I am shocked. Shocked! I would never do anything... whoa... wait, was I winning? :'''Tru''': Bye, Harr. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': You can change events, but you can't change fate, Tru. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Luc''': ... and she's off. :'''Tru''': I'm meeting Lindsay for breakfast. :'''Luc''': On a weekday. :'''Tru''': Um. :'''Luc''': Doesn't she work? :'''Tru''': She's taking a sick day. :'''Luc''': How do you know that? You just woke up. :'''Tru''': Coz, it's a girl thing. :'''Luc''': Ahaaa. === ''Valentine'' [1.12] === :''[Lindsay has just broken up with Harrison]'' :'''Lindsay''': Look, I'm just gonna go for a walk, so if you want the bed... :'''Harrison''': No, no, no, I'll take the couch... Bed smells funny. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Luc''': You're awake, thank god. I was about to check for a pulse. :'''Tru''': Hmm. :'''Luc''': When I picked you up, you said you'd close your eyes for 5 minutes. That was 4 hours ago. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': Valentines Day is a shame perpetuated by the floral and greeting-card industries to move product. :'''Tru''': You'll have to excuse Davis, he's very very single. :'''Lindsay''': Shocker. === ''Drop Dead Gorgeous'' [1.13] === :'''Tru''': Hey. :'''Davis''': You're here early. :'''Tru''': Oh, I'm not staying. I just wanted to get this back to County Records. :'''Davis''': Your mom's autopsy report? :'''Tru''': Yeah. :'''Davis''': Anything new? :'''Tru''': No. Standard B and E gone bad. Single bullet, massive blood loss. Of course, I only read it fifteen times and still think there's something I must have missed. :'''Davis''': Tru, if I may, sometimes there is just a single bullet. A lone gunman, a tragic death. Sometimes the truth is exactly what it appears to be. :'''Tru''': What makes you say that? :'''Davis''': Eight years of working here. :'''Tru''': Just wish I thought so, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': Just once. Just once I'd like to go somewhere and have everyone stay alive. Is that too much to ask? :'''Davis''': You really want me to answer that? :'''Tru''': No, actually I don't. === ''Daddy's Girl'' [1.14] === :'''Davis''': ''[about Jack]'' That guy's going places. :'''Tru''': Yeah. Let's just hope somewhere far, far away from here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': Hey kids. What's cracking? :''[He sits down beside Tru]'' :'''Meredith''': Well, Jordan came by and told us she's having a party for Dad tonight, and Tru… :'''Harrison''': Told her off? :'''Meredith''': Actually, Tru said she'd be there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': The dream has nothing to do with Dad. :'''Harrison''': Mmm. Right. :'''Tru''': Besides, Meredith says he's only in town for a conference so odds are we won't even hear from him. But there's something else. :'''Harrison''': And that is? :'''Tru''': What I do…going back, trying to save these people from dying…I think Mom could do it too. :'''Harrison''': Where you getting this from? :'''Tru''': Davis. He was an assistant the night they brought Mom in. :'''Harrison''': How does this freak-fest from a morgue become such an expert on our mother? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Hey Jack. :'''Tru''': Hey Tru. :'''Jack''': You had to write it down. :'''Tru''': Just so the functionally literate wouldn't drink my soda. :'''Jack''': Right... Can't be too careful, what with the big soda shortage I've been reading so much about. :'''Tru''': Ha... and here I was thinking you couldn't read. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jordan''': Isn't showing up the least you can do? :'''Tru''': Funny, I thought the same thing about my dad my last 10 birthdays. === ''Getaway'' [1.15] === :'''Davis''': Oh, thank God. :'''Tru''': Its okay, Davis. I'm in one piece. And Michelle lives to see another day. :'''Davis''': I'll reserve judgement whether that's a good thing or not. So did the medallion…? Did it keep you safe? :'''Tru''': No, Davis. It was you who kept me safe. You called the police. :'''Davis''': Well what about the hostage? :'''Tru''': Well that's just it, there isn't one. This guy isn't taking a different hostage each time, it's the same girl at every location. They're a team. :'''Davis''': Just like Bonnie and Clyde. :'''Tru''': Kind of, except in this case, Clyde uses Bonnie as a fake hostage. :'''Davi'''s: Well that's an interesting twist. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': Listen, Harrison, I think it's sweet that you remembered your three-month anniversary, but I'm not giving you any money :'''Harrison''': Why would you think that? Why...? Why do reliving days suck for me? Hmm? So, what did I do? :'''Tru''': You went to the track and lost everything I gave you, so I'm sorry but you're gonna have to be more creative. :'''Harrison''': Yeah, but... :'''Tru''': And I'm gonna do you an even bigger favor today. I'm gonna borrow your car, so you can't go to the track at all. :'''Harrison''': No, wait… :'''Tru''': I gotta go :'''Harrison''': Wait, but...go on! Save everybody but me. ''[to himself]'' I gotta get a job! ...Nah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Do you like working here? The reason I ask is, you don't look like your average morgue attendant. :'''Tru''': Oh yeah and what do I look like then? :'''Jack''': You look like a girl who takes things way to seriously, someone who should be enjoying life but probably spends Friday nights home alone, watching TV, eating a microwave dinner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': What do ''you'' do on Friday nights? :'''Jack''': Why don't you tell me? :'''Tru''': Well you don't stay in, that's for sure. Coz that'd mean you'd be alone and you're not a guy who's all that keen on being alone. So you go out, to a bar, a club and after a few hours you return home. Sometimes solo but usually with some nameless, faceless, shameless girl who just doesn't understand you. But either way, by the end of the night your alone, in front of the TV, eating a microwave dinner. :'''Jack''': I don't own a microwave. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': You still haven't answered my question? Do you like it here? :'''Tru''': Actually I do. :'''Jack''': I understand. :'''Tru''': You do? 'Cause not everyone does. :'''Jack''': Well that's because most people believe that only the living need help. === ''Two Pair'' [1.16] === :'''Davis''': We were married. For a year. :'''Harrison''': You're married? :'''Davis''': And, er…I was supposed to meet Haley at her mother's. We were going to a restaurant for our anniversary dinner. And I'd been working late here, and I was going out to my car and the gas had all been drained from the tank, and the tyres were flat. There was this crazy woman there, telling me that I had to call my wife, and prevent her from getting in her car, and getting on the freeway :'''Harrison''': Crazy woman? What? :'''Tru''': Our mother. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': I need to borrow your car. :'''Harrison''': That is so weird. I was just coming to… :'''Tru''': No, you weren't gonna come and get me. And if I were you, I'd stay away from the trifecta too. :'''Harrison''': That is so not fair! You know what I did and I don't. :'''Tru''': Look, you let me down, Harrison. Again. Nothing you haven't done 1000 times before. And you know what? Lindsay says the same exact thing about you too. :'''Harrison''': Well excuse me, I made a mistake. I'm not lucky like you: you screw up, and it's "Oh what am I gonna do? You know what, I'll just redo it!" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Wow, Davis is a dedicated employee isn't he? :'''Tru''': He really takes his work home with him. :'''Jack''': I'm trying to imagine a First Date scenario…"Why don't you come back to my apartment, I'll show you all my books on death" :'''Tru''': Kind of a mood killer. :'''Jack''': Unless you're dating a serial killer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': I've got this thing tomorrow at my apartment, and I haven't unpacked. :'''Tru''': When did you move in? :''[Davis looks as through he counting back]'' :'''Davis''': Three years ago. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': How do you get so banged up on this job? It's not like the dead fight back. :'''Tru''': Yeah, you'd be surprised. === ''Death Becomes Her'' [1.17] === :'''Jack''': Death is inevitable. Death is part of life. And as soon as you understand that, you’re free. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Why do I get the feeling that you don't want me hanging around your brother? :'''Tru''': Probably because you're very perceptive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': She's like me. She's, like, loyal…but she's…she's smart as hell. And she works her tail off. :'''Jack''': Tell me about it. She comes in off-shift, practically memorizes the stats of all the corpses. That job…it's like she lives for it, you know? :'''Harrison''': Understatement of the year. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': It's not just that. This whole superhero thing, all the running around I do…it's hard enough to keep the friends I have, let alone make new ones. :'''Davis''': Well traditionally, superheroes don't have many friends. Just a close-knit group of allies and confidants. :'''Tru''': Well I'm 22 years old Davis. I need more than allies and confidants. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': Hey, at least you got a set of wheels now. So you can do your girly stuff and go save dead people. All the things that you like to do. === ''Rear Window'' [1.18] === :'''Jack''': ''[on intercom]'' Hello? :'''Tru''': Jack, it's Tru. I need to get in :'''Jack''': Hey Tru. What are you doing on this side of the street? :'''Tru''': Please Jack, I need to get into Cathy's apartment right away :'''Jack''': Cathy? Who's Cathy? :'''Tru''': Chris! Chris is Cathy! The girl that you followed. Please, Jack, hurry! :'''Jack''': Okay, um, let me just try and figure this thing out… ''[He starts to press buttons randomly]'' Huh. It's trickier than I thought. ''[He presses a few more buttons]'' Did that do it? :''[An old lady comes out of the door, and Tru seizes the opportunity]'' :'''Tru''': Thanks, excuse me :'''Jack''': Tru? Did that do it? Tru? Tru? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': He's a hell of a guy. Great Dungeon Master. ''[Tru pokes her head back into the room]'' Oh God, did I just say that out loud? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': So the meet's at noon. High noon. :'''Tru''': Don't be so dramatic. :'''Harrison''': It's the first time me and Lindsay have seen each other since the breakup. We're exchanging stuff. How is that not dramatic? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': Hey Tru, for what it's worth, I happen to think that you have a pretty exciting life, you know? Time travel, saving lives, pretty cool boss… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': So what are you doing tonight? :'''Davis''': Oh you know, the usual :'''Tru''': Nothing? === ''D.O.A'' [1.19] === :'''Harrison''': ''[about Lindsay's boyfriend]'' What, he's foreign? He's from another country? And he just lives here, and all of a sudden he just pops the question and asks some chick to marry him? Hello? What does that say to you? :'''Davis''': That he's impulsive and likes to travel? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': Hi. :'''Lindsay''': What are you...? :'''Harrison''': I never returned your key. :'''Lindsay''': Harrison, tonight isn't... :'''Harrison''': I heard about the proposal. :'''Lindsay''': And? :'''Harrison''': And I checked this guy out. I know it pisses you off. :'''Lindsay''': Harrison. :'''Harrison''': You need to know something... before you make a mistake that you'll regret for the rest of your life. :'''Lindsay''': You should go. You shouldn't be here. :'''Harrison''': Say yes. Say yes. He is the real deal. He's the better guy. A better guy than I could be for you. At least, right now. And he really loves you. Say Yes. :''[Lindsay hugs Harrison as she starts to cry]'' :'''Lindsay''': Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': Look, it's not just supernatural theory, it's scientific fact. From eastern philosophy to [[w:Newton's Third Law of Motion|Newton's Third Law of Motion]]. They all say the same thing: every force has an equal and opposite force. I should have said something sooner, but I didn't have any real proof until today. You're right about Jack. He is not like you, he is the opposite of you. You save lives and he.. :'''Tru''': ..takes them. === ''Two Weddings and a Funeral'' [1.20] === :'''Tru''': Today isn't gonna be your day, Harrison. :'''Harrison''': Nah, today's the day that I'm gonna be a better man. Today's the day that I'm gonna... :'''Tru''': Die. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': I just wanted to let you know that, uh, Harrison won't be showing up today. :'''Jack''': Ah, good old Tru. At least she's gonna make this sporting. ''[laughs]'' So, why don't you tell me what you really want. :'''Davis''': I just wanted to hear it for myself. :'''Jack''': What's that? :'''Davis''': Who you are. What you can do. How you can live with yourself. :'''Jack''': I respect you, Davis. You're a man of science. You want answers, conclusions. So how's this? I preserve the order of the universe by ensuring the cycle of life. :'''Davis''': Well, fate already has a representative, Jack, and it is not you. :'''Jack''': Tru? Now this is where we're gonna have to agree to disagree. Because if Tru was serving fate, why does fate need me? :'''Davis''': She helps people live. :'''Jack''': Who were supposed to die! Don't you see? She can't win. :'''Davis''': You're wrong. I've seen her save people. She ''can'' win. :'''Jack''': Yes. You've seen her outfox killers, talk people off ledges, and quite capably, I might add. But if you think that's the end of the story, you're missing the best part. :'''Davis''': Oh, what's that? :'''Jack''': I think that we'll save that for another time. Wouldn't want to blow all my best material at once, but it's good to see you, boss. Tell Harrison I'll catch him later. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': My mother had the calling and she passed it on to me. If you think for one minute that I'm ever gonna stop, you're wrong. So you'd better watch your back, because it's on. :'''Jack''': You should know one thing. This is bigger than you think. :'''Tru''': And ''you'' should know one thing. You have no idea what you've begun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Davis''': I'm so sorry. Please, accept my condolences. You were so... young. :'''Harrison''': Dude, I'm still alive. I died ''yesterday''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I just dropped by to give my two weeks notice. :'''Tru''': Don't bother. Davis took you off payroll once we realized you were Death. == Season 2 == === ''Perfect Storm'' [2.01] === :'''Jack''': Good people die, Tru. You know that as well as I. :'''Tru''': You say you're not a murderer, what do you call what you're doing now? :'''Jack''': My job. === ''Grace'' [2.02] === :'''Davis''': Enjoy the sugar! 'Enjoy the sugar'? God, my complete ineptitude! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison''': ''[Punches Jack]'' That's for yesterday... I think. === ''In the Dark'' [2.03] === :'''Jack''': Harrison! Look at you, man! You look great! Robust! Like a man who's been taking care of himself. :'''Harrison''': So, my continuing to be alive isn't bothering you? :'''Jack''': Oh. You mean because it runs counter to the plan of the universe and every day you're setting in motion consequences that can only be damaging to the entire human race? Now why would that bother me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': Don't settle in, Harry. I'm heading out. Something happened and I don't have a clue who it happened to. :'''Harrison''': Wait, I thought your birthday was supposed to be all about giggles and love for the people of the Earth. :'''Tru''': Yeah. I had that birthday yesterday. :'''Harrison''': Whoa. You had a replay on your birthday? Huh. Wait, is there anything I should do, or not do? Uh, did I-did I screw up? === ''Last Good Day'' [2.04] === :'''Tru''': ''[after Jack let Megan slip off the building]'' I wish it was you. :'''Jack''': That makes two of us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tru''': I figured out how you do it ''[know who is going to die]''. :'''Jack''': Whoa, good job, Tru. It only took you six months? === ''Enough'' [2.05] === :'''Harrison''': We both know what they call a guy like me wearing a suit like that – the defendant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Travis''': You know, you are an extremely weird kid. :'''Harrison''': I get that a lot. === ''Twas the Night Before Christmas...Again'' [2.06] === :'''Jack''': I don't even get a thanks? I was brilliant back there. :'''Tru''': Does the fourth horseman at the Apocalypse need a pat on the back? :'''Jack''': Whatever. The fact that I'm still here means that you need me and that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :'''Tru''': Be careful. You wouldn't want the ice around your heart to melt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I gotta tell you, it was kind of cool to wear the white hat for a change. :'''Tru''': Oh, so you're admitting that I'm the good guy? :'''Jack''': Do you know why they gave the white hat to the hero in the Old West movies? It made them easier to light for the camera. The color of the hat is not about right or wrong, it's about what you choose to see. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I'm sorry, Tru, I'd love to help you, I really would. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to hear you say those two magic words. :'''Tru''': Please, Jack. :'''Jack''': Oooh sorry, those weren't the magic words we were looking for. :'''Tru''': I knew this was a bad idea. :'''Jack''': Oh come on, Tru, I just wanna hear you say it one time... Help me. :'''Tru''': Would you settle for "bite me"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I don't see why we couldn't carpool. For someone who's dedicated to saving lives you should really take better care of the environment, Tru. :'''Tru''': Well, I've got this thing about not getting into a car with a guy who kills people for a living. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Looks like I got the day off, 'cause you're good, Davies, but you're not that good. Stale corpse, no clues. Hey. What if I was to offer to help you with your job today? :'''Tru''': What if I was to offer to help you kiss my a**? :'''Jack''': That's funny. No, but really, think of it as a holiday truce. What harm could I do? There was only fatality in the city yesterday and that one already ho-ho happened, am I right? Come on, there's no one to save, there's no one to fight over. I might even be helpful. :'''Tru''': Jack, there is no way I would ever accept your help. :'''Jack''': You try and be a nice guy. Merry Christmas to all, and to all good luck. == External links== {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0364817|title=Tru Calling}} * [http://www.trucalling-fans.com/ Fan site] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:2000s American drama TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American supernatural TV shows]] [[Category:FOX shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] lyxphn5v8njo7ooiaaswje49g90un1w Phish 0 11870 3148042 2481755 2022-07-27T09:02:49Z 2600:4041:36A:4700:540A:8489:4C3B:1CA wikitext text/x-wiki '''[[w:Phish|Phish]]''' is an American rock band noted for jamming and improvisation. The band's four members performed together for the better part of 21 years until their breakup in August 2004, but have since reunited in 2009. Their music has elements of a wide variety of genres, including rock, jazz, bluegrass, heavy metal, folk, blues, progressive rock, reggae, acoustic music, and European classical music. Each Phish concert is original in terms of the songs included, the order in which they appear, and the way in which they are performed: most of their songs are never played the same way twice. Although the group receives little radio play or MTV exposure, Phish has developed a large following by word of mouth and the exchange of live recordings. The following quotes are from a variety of Phish songs performed throughout their history. The majority of Phish lyrics are penned by lyricist Tom Marshall, a childhood friend of founding member [[Trey Anastasio]]. The following lyrical excerpts are listed in alphabetical order. == Lyrics == *''All of These Dreams'' :If you go there, and after you do :All of these dreams would be yours to pursue :The rest of your lifetime devoid of a care :If you keep your eyes open, you may find yourself there *''Anything But Me'' - :You've become an island in the hazy world surrounding me :Offering a vast reward each time I safely cross the sea :All too often I become lost in the fog and haze :Clinging still against my will to promises of clearer days *''Back on the Train'' - :When I jumped off, I had a bucket full of thoughts :When I first jumped off, I held that bucket in my hand :Ideas that would take me all around the world :I stood and watched the smoke behind the mountains curl :It took me a long time to get back on the train *''Brian and Robert'' - :If you're just staring at your walls :Observing echoing footfalls from tenants wandering distant halls :Then this one is for you :If children playing all around to you is noise, not pleasant sound :And you feel lost on the playground... :Then this one is for you *''Bug'' - :Nothing I see can be taken from me *''Bye Bye Foot'' - :Where I end and you begin :I wanna find that line and cross it back and forth :Until it's erased by our footsteps *''Crowd Control'' - :It's crowded in the lowlands but the fools stay on the hill :You control us now, you have the reins :Do something or we will *''The Curtain'' - :As he saw his life run away from him :Thousands ran along :Chanting words from a song. :'Please me have no regrets' *''Dear Mrs. Reagan'' - :Dear Mrs. Reagan, I hope you're feeling well :Fighting drugs and abortion will keep you out of Hell :Send in the troops, they'll shut the system down :Take away their leaders and replace them all with clowns :Out in the Rose Garden, time for a speech :Make up your face so it looks like a peach :Aw, Nancy dear, what shall I say? :Tell ol' Ronnie it's all okay *''Destiny Unbound'' - :She started the ignition and without permission, the two of them flew down the dusty road :But the road wasn't finished and the pavement diminished :They soared off the edge and they plunged in the sludge :She said, "There isn't even any road, our destiny was bound :We were the ones for us, but now we're in the ground" *''Dirt'' - :I'd like to live beneath the dirt :A tiny space to move and breathe is all that I would ever need :I wanna live beneath the dirt :Where I'd be free from push and shove like all those swarming up above :Beneath their heels I'll spend my time :I'll wriggle in the earth and dew :And sometimes I will think of you :And if you ever think of me, kneel down and kiss the earth :And show me what this thought is worth :I'll never hear your voice again *''Discern'' - :I think I hear a whisper around nearly every turn :But what the voice is saying, I barely can discern :The echoes that are following the contours of the ground :Ebb and flow and ease into a tidal wave of sound *''Dog-Faced Boy'' - :Whenever I think of you it only makes me feel sad :Whenever I think of you....the best friend I ever had :Before I give it up all for nothing: :Well, I lied and I cheated, and it made me feel bad :It made me feel guilty for not being true :For the months I spend trying for a way to explain :In the end all I could do was turn my head in shame *''Down With Disease'' - :Waiting for the time when I can finally say :That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way :But when I think it's time to leave it all behind :I try to find a way to, but there's nothing I can say to make it stop *''Driver'' - :I'll tell you about the driver who lives inside my head :He starts me up and stops me, then puts me into bed :He opens up my mouth when it's time for me to talk :He fires up my legs when he wants me to walk :He keeps my eyes open for most of the day :Adds to my memories the things that people say :And when he makes decisions, I don't have to wait :But sometimes it seems that he's got too much on his plate :Like this morning when I woke up and he dressed me in this shirt :That looks a little ragged where he dragged me through the dirt :I'm moving through this life and I'm thinking about the next :And hoping when I get there, I'll be better dressed *''Farmhouse'' :Each betrayal begins with trust, every man returns to dust *''Fast Enough for You'' - :If time were only part of the equation and you could draw the boundaries of our cage :You wouldn't pile another stone upon me, and I'd be happy just to watch you age :But everything is in its own dominion, and waiting in the shadows as I do :Appeases me as water slowly trickles out, which isn't nearly fast enough for you *''Frankie Says'' - :Relax :The world will spin beside itself and suck you in :With threats and hopes beyond compare :I change the landscape as I pass, meandering from sand to glass :I suction there for one whole day, until the feeling goes away *''Free'' - :I feel no curiosity, I see the path ahead of me :In a minute I'll be free, and you'll be splashing in the sea :We hear a tiny cry as the ship goes sliding by *''Mountains in the Mist'' :Rain falls on my shoulders, sun rises in the east :I'm worn and bruised, but I am here at least *''Friday'' - :I crashed, I burned :But then I learned to keep my eye on you :You always say you'll lead the way :But then you never do *''Heavy Things'' - :Things are falling down on me, heavy things I could not see :When I finally came around, something small would pin me down :And when I tried to step aside I moved to where they'd hoped I'd be *''The Horse'' - :It's time I sling the baskets off this overburdened horse :Sink my toes into the ground and set a different course :Because if I were here and you were there, I'd meet you in between :And not until my dying day confess what I have seen *''If I Could'' - :Stay with me till time turns over :I wanna feel my feet leave the ground :Take me where the whispering breezes :Can lift me up and spin me around :If I could I would, but I don't know how *''It's Ice'' - :Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone :The flesh I leave behind is something that is not my own :I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul :He's pleading back, it's time to attack :It's me who's in control :With every move I make, he's got a hand up just in time :He's throwing several punches and he's blocking most of mine :Defeated now, I sulk and squirm in mud with frozen mice :Waiting, calculating 'til next he ventures onto the ice *''Julius'' - :'Cause a week is a month and an hour a day :When your reaching just pushes it further away now :With your past and your future precisely divided :Am I at that moment? I haven't decided, I haven't decided *''Jennifer Dances'' - :You ought to know from long ago to listen to the winds that blow :Cause when the past creeps up at last, you'll see the landscape open fast :And you'll be standing on a landing, crumbling despite your demanding *''Lifeboy'' - :When the line is breaking and when I'm near the end :When all the time spent leading, I've been following instead :When all my thoughts and memories are left hanging by a thread :God never listens to what I say *''Limb by Limb'' - :I never want my hand cut off, I never want a hacking cough :I never need a cliffside push, I never turn my brain to mush :Always give me what I lack, always take the best parts back :Always recognize your fate, always just a moment late :Left is where I always turn, left is how I'm forced to learn :Left the route my walking takes, left alone with my mistakes :Up against the person who up 'til now I never knew :Up from hell the answer blew, up or down...it's up to you *''The Mango Song'' - :Your hands and feet are mangos, but you're gonna be a genius anyway *''Maze'' - :The torrent of helplessness swept me away to the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay :Inside me a voice was repeating the phrase, "You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze" *''Meat'' - :I need a different life, I think :Perhaps I'll be the missing link :I treasure moments as I drink away the memories :Let them sink *''The Meatstick'' - :Long before this scene concludes, the end I'm seeking still eludes :My every effort to apply, my will to moments passing by :But everytime we say goodbye, there's a pain I can't identify :That reveals to me the hidden door that leads to several moments more *''Mike's Song'' - :Trapped in time and I don't know what to do :These friends of mine, I can see right through 'em :You don't gotta tell me, cause I don't gotta move :I'm sittin' back here just sharin' in the groove *''The Moma Dance'' - :All throughout I gaze and glimpse you :Loving never did convince you :I see you when you're all alone :It's like a person I've not known :The moment ends though I feel winds :Blowing differently than ever before, and then pushing me further from shore *''Mound'' - :Ice is all he was made of :The bitter blue had frozen through :He went over to the mound :Reclining down his final thoughts :were drifting to a time this life had shined *''Never'' - :Never is that point in time that doesn't have dimension :Always is the measure of how long time's been around *''Nothing'' - :I stand on a featureless sheet of blue stone :And then for one instant I'm not quite alone :Your hand is extended but then you rescind :And you, like my thoughts, are borne off by the wind *''Pebbles and Marbles'' - :She started a blaze from one tiny spark I didn't even detect :She loved the light, was dismayed by the dark, the stars, though, she seemed to respect :The faint light that flutters at night to the earth would land in her eyes and collect :Luminous creatures she'd find in the surf I never thought to inspect :Pebbles and marbles, like things on my mind, seem to get lost and harder to find :When I am alone, I am inclined, if I find a pebble in the sand, to think that it fell from my hand :She gave me ideas and planted the seed, but she never stopped to reflect :The course that she's on, wherever it leads, I never would redirect :Pebbles and marbles, like words from a friend, make us hold tight but are lost in the end :When we're alone, we all seem to tend, if we find a marble in dust, to wish someone left it for us *''Prep School Hippie'' - :Prep school hippie, or hip school preppie :I can't decide :Should I spend my adolescent days wearing tie dyes or Vuarnets :I can't decide :A big ten kegger at the frat, or watching Jerry shake his fat :Prep school hippie, or hip school preppie :I can't decide *''Rift'' - :Silence contagious in moments like these :Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease :The passion that sparked me one terrible night :Had shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite *''Roggae'' - :If life were easy and not so fast, I wouldn't think about the past :I can't forget to turn the earth so both sides get their share of darkness and of light *''Round Room'' - :If I pass out, take me to the round church :Where echoes resound and my spirit is found :And when I float high, take my arm and I'll fly you by :To the outskirts of town to a garden that's round *''Run Like an Antelope'' - :Set the gearshift to the high gear of your soul :You've got to run like an antelope out of control *''Sample in a Jar'' - :You tricked me like the others and now I don't belong :The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong *''Sand'' - :I will choose my own religion and worship my own spirit :And if you ever preached to me, I wouldn't want to hear it *''Scents and Subtle Sounds'' - :If you would only start to live one moment at a time :You would, I think, be startled by the things that you would find :Like scents you never noticed, and many subtle sounds :Like colors in the landscape and textures of the town :Then the winds would lift you up into the sky above :And you'd be treated to a view of everything you love :And if the moment passes, you should try it once again :For if you do it right, you'll find the moment never ends *''Shafty'' - :The terrible thing about Hell is that when you're there, you can't even tell :As you move through this life you love so, you could be there and not even know :But you say, "So what, I'm doing just fine" :The irony is that it's all in your mind :That's why Hell is so vicious and cruel, but you'll just go on an oblivious fool *''Silent in the Morning'' - :You're silent in the morning, suspended in the trees :Lunch time comes, you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees :The volume just increases and the resounding echoes grow :Until once again, I bask in morning stillness I love so :The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath :I tighten all my arteries and make one last request :Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear :I think that this exact thing happened to me just last year *''Sleep'' - :I can't describe the feeling when I'm in my bed asleep, and then :I wake up with a vision blurred and all my efforts are deterred :To reconstruct this image lost :There're certain things my mind won't do, and even though they're very few :The image glistens like a gem, repairing is not one of them :So I'm awake, though in my mind, the image that so unrefined :Is calling to me from the deep, tempting me to fall asleep *''Spices'' - :A single cloud within a storm descends and leaves behind a form :Someone that you knew appears in front of you: a woman's figure, rain-cloud-born :She blinks but doesn't see you yet, she shivers and is soaking wet :You cross the sand and take her hand, a lifetime passed since last you met :Centuries now fall away, seems so long since yesterday :When you were young and in the sun, you let your woman slip away :You take the hands that you have missed and kiss the lips you haven't kissed :For many years, taste the tears :Spices that you can't resist *''Split Open and Melt'' - :I wake up on my stomach with my face between my hands :And crawl along the floor toward the doorway :Jumping to my feet, I try to put myself together :But I feel it in my knees and the room begins to spin :I slip and bump my head and raise a welt, split open and melt *''Spread it Round'' - :Together we are all alone, united on a spinning stone :So if your love is running down, don't concentrate it....spread it round *''Steep'' - :Much ado is all I see, in fact, it is surrounding me :The seething crowd intrudes all day until I'm finally swept away :Although I thought my roots were deep, I sank them into hillsides steep :And riverbanks that soon erode and canyons that have overflowed *''Strange Design'' - :Dripping in this strange design, none is yours and far less mine :Hold the wheel, read the sign, keep the tires off the line :Just relax, you're doing fine :Swimming in this real thing I call life :Can I bring a few companions on this ride *''Taste'' - :I'm down, and I will drag you along and around :Until you burst into song and unwind, and leave your new life behind for a while :Cause I can see through the lines *''Tela'' - :As I look into her eyes, my frozen heart begins to thaw :And burn, 'til layer after layer melts away into a pool :The sky blue mirror of her eyes :And my soul is made of marble, but in her gaze I crumble into dust :And drift away on the wind: the wind from beyond the mountain *''Theme From the Bottom'' - :Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth :Jumbled events that have less than no worth :Time in the forest to dig under rocks :Or float in the ocean asleep in a box :Or sink just below all the churning and froth :And swim to the light source or fly like a moth :So toss away stuff you don't need in the end :But keep what's important and know who's your friend *''Thunderhead'' - :I need a new way to express myself :So you don't need to guess what otherwise I'd say aloud :And watch it float just like a cloud, high up above you like a thunderhead :But you would just look down instead and wait 'til foggy skies appear :And vapor clouds all disappear :And with them, all my words for you have softly sublimated too :And you'll just hope that I've moved on, so you'll look up and find me gone *''Train Song'' - :The glass on the lantern casts back the sight of a drive-in movie, we drove by below :We saw where we'd been in the pictures within, projecting all the places we would go :So we followed the scene and flowed up your steps to a smooth wooden floor in a trance :The train whistle melody woved through the trees and in through the door to signal the turns of a dance *''Two Versions of Me'' - :Ten mountains stand tall, nine seasons since fall :Eight eons of sand, seven oceans began :Now there is none, no more light from the sun :Now waters run free, no more phish in the sea :One more name on the slate, one less minute to wait :Too busy to see two versions of me :One more bottle is dry, one less reason to try :Six feet underneath, five fingers don't reach :Four seconds it seems for all of our dreams :Three oceans away, two children at play :Too bust to see two versions of me *''Vultures'' - :Blind me with ambition like a razor to the throat :Cast aside your foolish pride, I'll cast the final vote :The feelings you've been waiting for are clawing thru your skin :And if you look above, you'll see the vultures moving in *''Wading in the Velvet Sea'' - :I took a moment from my day and wrapped it up in things you say :Mailed it off to your address, you'll get it pretty soon...unless :The packaging begins to break and all the points I tried to make :Are tossed with thoughts into a bin, time leaks out my life leaks in :You won't find moments in a box, nd someone else will set your clocks :I took a moment from my day and wrapped it up in things you say :And mailed it off to you..... *''Walls of the Cave'' - :I'm leaving you a message, I'm leaving you a trace :I'm leaving thoughts for you I hope that time will not erase :And when the moment comes to read the words that I engrave :You'll find them on the walls of the cave :I know you heard the question but you didn't make a sound :And when it fell you caught my heart before it hit the ground :But if you ever need the names of those you couldn't save :You'll find them on the walls of the cave *''Waste'' - :Don't want to be a farmer working in the sun :Don't want to be an outlaw always on the run :Don't want to be a climber reaching for the top :Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop :A dream, it's true :But I'd see it through if I could be wasting my time with you :So if I'm inside your head, don't believe what you might have read :You'll see what I might have said :To hear it, come waste your time with me *''Water in the Sky'' - :Listen as she speaks to you :Hear the voices flutter through the barriers arranged by you :Close the shutters, draw the shades :Filter out the everglades, glistening with evening dew :Thunder calls through waterfalls, rising tides, and ocean walls :I can hear you when you sigh :Listen as she speaks to you, hear the voices flutter through :Watch them fall and let them lie *''Waves'' - :How is it I never see the waves that bring her words to me :For though unseen, they drift around, they catch my breath and knock me down :I feel them quickly swirling by as they withdraw with my reply :And slip into the dark of night as I attempt to stay upright :Instead I'm stranded on my knees as words depart upon the breeze :Which quickly drifts away from here and possibly won't reach her ear :If we could see the many waves that flow through clouds and sunken caves :She'd sense at least the words that sought her on the wind and underwater *''The Wedge'' - :It's the ocean flowing in our veins and it's the salt that's in our tears :We could have come so very far in at least as many years *''Wolfman's Brother'' - :I might be on a side street or a stairway to the stars :I hear the high pitched cavitation of propellers from afar :So with meaningless excitement and a smooth atonal sound :It's like a cross between a hurricane and a ship that's run aground {{wikipedia}} [[Category:American bands]] [[Category:Jam band]] [[Category:Alternative rock]] [[Category:Jazz rock]] [[Category:Folk rock]] [[Category:Funk rock]] 3qj58omwfa16omkgtjdlfat9byw0k20 My Life as a Teenage Robot 0 12528 3147795 3144236 2022-07-26T21:19:55Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:My Life as a Teenage Robot|My Life as a Teenage Robot]]''''' is an animated TV show on Nickelodeon about the misadventures of a tomboyish [[w:robot|robot]] girl with the mind of a [[w:teenager|teenager]]. == Season 1 == === Episode 1.1 === ==== ''It Came from Next Door'' [1a] ==== :'''Brad:''' Hi, Jenny, my name's Brad– Whoa, a real life robot! :'''Jenny:''' A real life teenager! :'''Both:''' ''[in unison]'' Whoa!

Or even if someone wants to ride out in darkest night. But I will tell you this. I'd use tonight to get myself organized. Ride out in the morning clear-headed.

''[nobody answers]'' I'll tell you this for openers: we are gonna set off an area on the balcony. ''[opens the door to the balcony]'' And God help whoever doesn't use it, because the next stink I have to smell in this office, and whoever doesn't admit to it is going out the window, into the muck, onto their fucking heads, and we'll see how they like farting from that position, okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[discussing Custer at Little Bighorn]'' I'll tell you this, son, you can mark my words, Crazy Horse went into Little Bighorn, bought his people one good, long-term ass-fucking.

I don't think we should linger here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Every fuckin’ beatin’ I’m grateful for. Every fuckin’ one of them. Get all the trust beat outta you. And you know what the fuckin’ world is. ===Here Was A Man=== :'''Wild Bill Hickok''': ''[on prospecting]'' What slows me down is thinking about freezing my balls off in a creek for the cocksuckers I'd lose the gold to at poker. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cy Tolliver''': How about a nap, a bath and sex with a unfamiliar woman? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wild Bill Hickok''': Some goddamn time, a man's due to stop arguing with hisself, feeling twice the goddamn fool he knows he is because he can't be something he tries to be every goddamn day without once getting to dinnertime and not fucking it up. I don't want to fight it no more. Understand me, Charlie? And I don't want you pissing in my ear about it. Can you let me go to hell the way I want to? :'''Charlie Utter''': Yeah. I can do that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Her husband came here with childish ideas. Bought himself a gold claim with me an honest broker. Claim pinches out, which will happen. But he can't take that like a man, has to blame somebody. Seller's left camp, so he picks on me. Says he'll bring in the Pinkertons if I don't offer restitution. I got a healthy operation and I didn’t build it brooding on the right, and wrong of things. I do not need the Pinkertons descending like locusts. So I bend over for the tenderfoot cocksucker. Reconnoiter your claim fully, I say. And then, if you're still unhappy, I will give you your fucking money back. And the tenderfoot agrees. Just as he's finishing his reconnoiter, cocksucker falls to his death, pure fucking accident. But up jumps the widow in righteous fucking indignation. Wants the doctor to examine him for murder wounds. My visions of locusts return. I see Pinkertons coming in swarms. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wild Bill Hickok''': You know the sound of thunder, don't you, Mrs. Garrett? :'''Alma Garrett''': Of course. :'''Wild Bill Hickok''': Can you imagine that sound if I asked you to? :'''Alma Garrett''': Yes I can, Mr. Hickok. :'''Wild Bill Hickok''':' Your husband and me had this talk, and I told him to head home to avoid a dark result. But I didn't say it in thunder. Ma'am, listen to the thunder. ===The Trial of Jack McCall=== :'''Doc Cochran''': I don't know if this is the time for you to stop takin' this laudanum, Mrs. Garrett. :'''Alma Garret''': What a pleasant surprise, doctor. To hear you admit the limits of your knowledge. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Let me say this once in your hearing. For outright stupidity, the whole fuckin' trial concept goes shoulder to shoulder with that cocksucker Custer's thinkin' when he headed for that ridge. :'''Cy Tolliver''': It's got its disadvantages. :'''Al Swearengen''': We’re illegal. Our whole goal is to get annexed to the United fuckin' States. We start holdin' trials, what's to keep the United States fuckin' Congress from sayin' "Oh, excuse us, we didn't realize you were a fuckin' sovereign community and nation out there. Where's your cocksucker's flag? Where's your fuckin’ navy or the like? Maybe when we make our treaty with the Sioux, we should treat you people like renegade fuckin' Indians. Deny your fuckin' gold and property claims. And hand everything over instead to our ne'er-do-well cousins and brothers-in-law." :'''Cy Tolliver''': That we don't want. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Before a guilty verdict would get executed on that cocksucker, three men would walk in that meat locker where he's bein' held with bags over their heads and cut his fuckin' throat. And within half an hour, that celestial's little pigs will be on their backs with their hooves in the air, belching up human remains. :'''Judge''': Are you saying you'd order that to be done? :'''Al Swearengen''': I'm sayin' I had a vision it'd happen. My second of the day. First come when I was watchin' you and them lawyers on line this morning. They began to slither in my sight like vipers. So as not to puke, I had to close my eyes. The vision went on. Got worse. I saw the vipers in the big nest in Washington. They were takin' us in the camp for actin' like we could set out own laws up or organizations and then saw the big viper decide to strangle and swallow us up every fuckin' thing we gain here. It was horrible. How could we fuckin' avoid it? How could we let the vipers in the big nest know that we didn’t wanna cause any fuckin' trouble? :'''Judge''': And that's when you had your second vision. :'''Al Swearengen''': Yeah, the cut throats and the pigs. But who wants all that blood spilled, judge, huh? Isn't there a simpler way of not pissing off the big vipers? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Sometimes I wish we could just hit 'em over the head, rob 'em, and throw their bodies in the creek. :'''Cy Tolliver''': But that would be wrong. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B.''': What's he ever done for me? Except let him terrify me every goddamned day of his life 'til the idea of bowel regularity is a forlorn fuckin' hope. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Remember this when you run your own place: that type guy, hanging around, gets people agitated, forces 'em to take a position, one side or the other. And agitation brings a slight bump-up in whiskey sales but the sale of cunt plummets. That's why I often wonder if I should take that fucking picture of Lincoln down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': That man is a lunatic. High water he never made much sense, but now? He just utters pure gibberish. :'''Sol Star''': Did he look pale to you? :'''Seth Bullock''': What? :'''Sol Star''': Did he seem pale? :'''Seth Bullock''': How the fuck do I know if he was pale? :'''Sol Star''': He looked pale to me. :'''Seth Bullock''': What if he was? Let's say he was. Will you shut up about it? What is my part, and your part? ''[mocking]'' "What part of my part is your part? Is my foot your knee? What about your ear?" What the fuck is that? :'''Sol Star''': Yeah, I don't know. :'''Seth Bullock''': What don't you know? If he was pale or not? :'''Sol Star''': What you're supposed to do. :'''Seth Bullock''': I'm not supposed to do anything! Let's agree to that. Not one fucking thing that I don't decide I'm gonna. All right, Sol? :'''Sol Star''': All right. ''[Bullock begins to walk away]'' Suspenders. :'''Seth Bullock''': God damn it! If I kill the droop-eyed son of a bitch and my part's getting hanged for it, good luck with the fucking store. :'''Sol Star''': All right. :'''Seth Bullock''': I will write to Martha and see it posted. You look out after that widow. :'''Sol Star''': All right, Seth. :'''Seth Bullock''': Can I impose on you to pack a bag for me to cut down on the cocksucker's head start? :'''Sol Star''': Be ready for you when you ride out. :'''Seth Bullock''': Thanks, Sol. ===Plague=== :'''A.W. Merrick''': May I say, Dan, having resumed drinking alcohol, I cannot for the life of me remember why I ever gave it up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Woman lives in your fucking hotel, but you can't find pretext for pressing the offer on her claim? :'''E.B. Farnum''': I can't outflank Trixie, Al. The whore guards that widow like a mother hen. :'''Al Swearengen''': She's dosed her with opium, priming her for your approach. :'''E.B. Farnum''': Be that as it may... :'''Al Swearengen''': E.B., put that offer in your pocket, you knock on the widow's door. :'''E.B. Farnum''': But Trixie'll answer. :'''Al Swearengen''': Trixie answers you tell her that I want to talk to her. Trixie leaves, you gain entry, broach the sale. Can you circumnavigate the child or must I map that for you too? :'''E.B. Farnum''': ''[mutters under his breath]'' :'''Al Swearengen''': What? :'''E.B. Farnum''': Nothing. :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[on hearing a knock at the door]'' Come on in, Doc, him and me are finished. Anyway, don't play that shit where you make me drag your words outta you. Declare, or shut the fuck up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': I'd rather try touching the moon than take on a whore's thinking. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doc Cochran''': I take it you've been out on a hoot? :'''Calamity Jane''': I've been drunk awhile; correct. What the fuck is that to you? :'''Doc Cochran''': The question was well meant. Like if you was a farmer, I'd ask ya how the farming was going. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': ''[Explaining the markings on the horse of the native that nearly killed Bullock]'' The three red hands on the pony's flank was three men killed hand-to-hand. The red circle was one killed on horseback. The white lines on the pony's legs was times the heathen counted coup. With them, whether you mean to kill your man after or you're just showing off, you hit 'em with a gun butt or a stick or a club; that's counting coup. That's why he come for you instead of picking you off with an arrow, like he did your horse. ''[...]'' That was one bad hombre you got by, Bullock. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': ''[on burying a dead Native]'' You ain't doin' him no favor. I mean his way to heaven's above ground and lookin' west. :'''Seth Bullock''': Let's do that, then. :'''Charlie Utter''': Don't you want to take him over the ridge? To his fuckin' Holy Ground and put him up there with his headless buddy? I mean, that's what you nearly got killed for: interfering with his big fuckin' medicine, burying his fuckin' buddy, over the fuckin' ridge! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Calamity Jane''': I'm calling on the widow and the little one in her care, and if I was you I wouldn't try to stop me. :'''E.B.''': Be brief! :'''Calamity Jane''': Be fucked! :'''E.B.''': Her gutter mouth, and the widow in an opium stupor: a conversation for the ages. ===Bullock Returns to the Camp=== :'''Al Swearengen''': We teach a special sweeping technique here. :''[Al indicates Jewel, who is sweeping the stairs.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': That widow ain't high. :'''E.B. Farnum''': Maybe waiting till after the service :'''Al Swearengen''': When she'd want to get good and loaded is before the fucking service, against all the fucking carrying on. What do you think? :'''E.B. Farnum''': Makes sense. :'''Al Swearengen''': Meaning all that whore's been telling me the last ten fucking days, about seeing the widow taking the dope, your own fucking assurances, you verify that she's loaded personally, you're both full of shit. :'''E.B. Farnum''': I checked in on the woman daily. If I was fooled, perhaps I've chosen simplemindedness, Al, over realizing a certain friend has used me as an instrument of purposes he concealed. :'''Al Swearengen''': Say what you're gonna say or prepare for eternal fucking silence. :'''E.B. Farnum''': I don't believe you commissioned me to make an offer on the widow's claim to keep the regulators off you, Al. I think someone found something out there you want. :'''Al Swearengen''': Assume you ain't been privy to the ins and outs of that matter for the sake of fucking conversation, huh? I mean, was I asleep, E.B., when you and me declared undying loyalty and full faith mutual disclosure, about every fucking detail of every fucking move we were ever going to make together? :'''E.B. Farnum''': You used me as a pawn, Al. :'''Al Swearengen''': And you fucked up the game is the central fucking present issue. We agreed on 2,000, you want a fucking percentage instead? :'''E.B. Farnum''': Is that such an inconceivable proposition? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Oh, do you worry for her, Dan? Wandering the muck of our thoroughfare, her tiny self all but swallowed up in horseshit? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': They're nice here. And Mr. Swearengen's funny as all get out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': You and I know how it is, Mr. Swearengen. :'''Al Swearengen''': How what is? :'''Seth Bullock''': She gets a square shake, or I come for you. :'''Al Swearengen''': What if I come for you, you ready for that? :'''Seth Bullock''': I guess I better be. :'''Al Swearengen''': Then close your fucking store because being ready for me will take care of your waking hours and you better have someone to hand the task off to when you close your fucking eyes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': Jack McCall! :'''Jack McCall''': ''[With his back to Bullock]'' I'm done, I don't wanna play no more. :'''Seth Bullock''': ''[Speaking to others]'' Bein’ a loud-mouthed cunt I guess sometime since he’s been here this fella who “don’t wanna play no more” probably spoke of killin’ Wild Bill Hickok… well, we’re Bill Hickok’s friends. ''[Everyone scrambles out of the room]'' :'''Seth Bullock''': I'm Seth Bullock. :'''Charlie Utter''': and I'm Charlie Utter :'''Seth Bullock''': And if you got your head blown off, sitting here with your back turned, that’d be as fair a play as you gave him. ===Suffer the Little Children=== :'''Rider''': God bless you, Mr. Swearengen. :'''Swearengen''': Well, not likely. But my short-term prospects have just improved. <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': Why did you strike me? :'''Doc Cochran''': To secure your attention. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alma Garrett''': ''[on her claim]'' Is the technical term "bonanza"? ''[Seth nods]'' It's a bonanza, Mr. Farnum. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Dan's a fucking expert. When he's not shit-faced drunk, so's Ellsworth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': My oath on this: every day that the widow sits on her ass in New York City, looks west at sunset and thinks to herself "God bless you ignorant cocksuckers in Deadwood, who do strive mightily and at little money to add to my ever-increasing fortune," she'll be safe from the wiles of Al Swearengen. ===No Other Sons or Daughters=== :'''Al Swearengen''': In life you have to do a lot of things you don't fucking want to do. Many times, that's what the fuck life is... one vile fucking task after another. But don't get aggravated... then the enemy has you by the short hairs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': The direction of my thoughts—with the sustained fucking stupidity that you're exhibiting, I hesitate to voice them—is that you might want to train for Phil's former position. :'''Johnny''': Al... I have hoped for this conversation ever since you give me that Indian head to hide. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny''': ''[coming down the stairs]'' Hey, Al. Any reason I can't share with Dan the, uh, proceedings of the talk me and you just had about me, uh, takin' over for Persimmon Phil? :'''Al Swearengen''': Yeah, keep Dan in the dark. :''[Johnny looks at Al, crestfallen.]'' :'''Dan''': Hey, Johnny. :'''Johnny''': Dan. :'''Dan''': What’s new? :''[Johnny looks down sadly and says nothing.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reverend Smith''': This is God's purpose. The not knowing the purpose is my portion of suffering. :'''Doc Cochran''': And is there any pain competing with the not knowing? :'''Reverend Smith''': I'm not in pain. There are new smells I smell, and there are parts of my body I can't feel, and His—and His love. :'''Doc Cochran''': And you want to continue like this? :'''Reverend Smith''': As he long as He wills, this must be my part. To be afraid, as well. :'''Doc Cochran''': Well, if this is His will, Reverend, He is a son of a bitch. ===Mister Wu=== :''[Wu is explaining his problem to Al by drawing pictures]'' :'''Mr. Wu''': Bok Gwai Lo... cocksucka! :'''Al Swearengen''': Yeah, glad I taught you that fuckin' word. These are whites, huh? :'''Mr. Wu''': White cocksucka! ''[shows empty bag]'' :'''Al Swearengen''': Two white cocksuckers killed him and stole the dope that he was bringing to you. :'''Mr. Wu''': White cocksucka! You, Swedgin. :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[suddenly enraged]'' The dope that you were gonna fuckin' sell to me? :'''Mr. Wu''': White cocksucka. :'''Al Swearengen''': These two white cocksuckers? Who the fuck did it? :'''Mr. Wu''': Wu? :'''Al Swearengen''': "Who," you ignorant fuckin’ chink! :'''Mr. Wu''': Wu! :'''Al Swearengen''': Who? Who? Who stole the fucking dope? :'''Mr. Wu''': Cocksucka! :'''Al Swearengen''': Aw, Jesus. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B.''': Anything the mayor should know? :'''Al Swearengen''': The name of another tailor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': As damp as your hands are, why do you continuously lick your fuckin' thumb? :'''E.B.''': Habit, I suppose. :'''Al Swearengen''': Could you learn the habit of lickin' a fuckin' stump? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': You can't slit the throat of everyone whose character it would improve. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[to Adams]'' Get a fuckin' haircut. Looks like your mother fucked a monkey. <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': How many memories, fond to their recollection, have their setting in that tight little dining room? :'''Charlie Utter''': Yeah, well it’s fucked now. :'''Seth Bullock''': Anyways, we gotta open soon. :'''A.W. Merrick''': Who would argue that the venue was the cause of these happy memories, nor the bill of fare? The bitter coffee, the rancid bacon, those stale biscuits that were tomb and grave to so many insects. No, gentlemen, it was the meandering conversation, the lingering with men of character - some of whom are walking with me now - that was such pleasure to experience, and such a joy now to recall. :'''Sol Star''': Good of you to say, Mr. Merrick. :'''Charlie Utter''': Yeah… back atcha, as far as… that goes. :'''Seth Bullock''': Yeah. ===Jewel's Boot Is Made For Walking=== :'''Silas Adams''': They believe you're the man to deal with. Yankton. :'''Al Swearengen''': I am. :'''Silas Adams''': It's just the magistrate looking to earn off that warrant. But no one else even knows it's out on you. :'''Al Swearengen''': Maybe the magistrate needs to die. :'''Silas Adams''': Maybe he does. <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Stapleton being appointed Sheriff]'' :'''Al Swearengen''': Bullock, it's a ceremonial position to give comfort to Tom Nuttall, who feels the camp's leavin' him behind. Putting a badge on Stapleton makes him feel he's got friends in high places. :'''Seth Bullock''': That job shouldn't go to a shitheel. :'''Al Swearengen''': Where as my feeling would be it should go to a shitheel, as it's shitheel's work. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': I want to tell you somethin' about the law. Please, take a seat. Separate from all the bribes we put up, I paid 5000 dollars to avoid being the object of fireside ditties about a man that fled a murder warrant then worked very hard to get his camp annexed by the territory, only to have them serve the warrant of him and to face the six-foot drop. Into the magistrate's pocket the money goes, after which he sends a message. The 5,000'll need company if I'm to be off the hook. I give you the law. :'''Seth''': It doesn't have to be like that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Hey Doc, how long were you planning on taking before you told me what the fuck was wrong with Jewel? :'''Doc Cochran''': Nothing, nothing she wasn't born with. :'''Al Swearengen''': Mmm, I mean, she told me she was knocked up but I assumed that was her gimp sense of humor. :'''Doc Cochran''': She wants me to brace her leg so her dragging it doesn't drive you crazy. :'''Al Swearengen''': So what'd you tell her? :'''Doc Cochran''': Not to worry about your moods, that you generate those yourself and then you find your excuse for having 'em. :'''Al Swearengen''': Saucy words Doc, good thing you're handy with the snatch. :'''Doc Cochran''': I had an idea for a boot, just now measured her for it. :'''Al Swearengen''': If you treat her as successfully as you did the minister, she'll be kicking up her heels in no fucking time. :'''Doc Cochran''': I will leave you now to pursue another excuse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Don’t you think I don't understand. I mean, what can anyone of us ever really fuckin' hope for, huh? Except for a moment here and there with a person who doesn't want to rob, steal or murder us? At night, it may happen. Sun-up, one person against the fuckin' wall, the other may hop on the fuckin' bed trusting each other enough to tell half the fucking truth. Everybody needs that. Becomes precious to 'em. They don't want to see it fucked with. :'''Sol''': I won't pay. :'''Al Swearengen''': You pay… or she pays. No home visits. Do your visiting on the premises, five. ''[Sol slides five coins across the bar]'' Seven for an ass-fuck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': That man's not here to help his daughter, he's looking to root at her claim. You went to see that whore again? :'''Sol Star''': I guess she had to account for her being outside, Swearengen sent for me to pay him his fee. I guess she told him where she'd been. :'''Seth Bullock''': It might have been me he found out from, Sol, 'cause I'm sometimes that stupid. :'''Sol Star''': You think it could have been you? :'''Seth Bullock''': I'm sure it was, speaking without thinking, justifying being in his place. :'''Sol Star''': Being you'd been ousted from your own. :'''Seth Bullock''': I was hot seeing that tinhorn Stapleton getting installed as sheriff, and I used poor fucking judgment. :'''Sol Star''': Sorry Mrs. Garret's pa turns out a shitheel. :'''Seth Bullock''': Cold enough world without gettin' gone against by your own. ===Sold Under Sin=== :'''Al Swearengen''': This bloated tick, Claggett, feeding on the neck of the fucking military. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B. Farnum''': Cavalry in camp, Doc. May I number you in the reception committee? :'''Doc Cochran''': Fuck the cavalry and the committee that receives 'em <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Walk in unannounced is a good way to get yourself killed, Doc. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Otis Russell''': ''[To E.B.]'' It must cost you sleep, the guests you drive off, the chances of thievin' and bilkin' you lose needing to rub against your betters. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': You and I are gonna talk. :'''Otis Russell''': You don't account for my preferences, Mr. Bullock? :'''Seth Bullock''': I will beat you here in the street. :'''Otis Russell''': First-rate thinking. My daughter's agent beats her father in the street, how better to condemn Alma to deepened suspicion as to her role in her husband's violent death and widen suspicion to include yourself? Shoot craps, Mr. Bullock? Were you bullied, Mr. Bullock, when young and incapable? Now you see wrongs everywhere and bullying you feel called to remedy. The bully who oppressed your youth isn't at the table with us, perhaps he's long dead. If you will view the present with more clarity, perhaps you'd recognize that I'm not victimizing my daughter, but merely asking for a small portion of the ample proceeds from her veins. Alma is hurt only in your particular view of things. And while I'll sign no guarantee not to return, or against any future claim on her compassion, realize I do hate it here. And if you inhale and expel pure righteousness, my olfactories are keen to the smell of shit. Having heard all that and knowing, as you must, the injudiciousness of making an enemy of a man who could testify truthfully that, five minutes before her marriage, he heard his daughter wish her prospective husband dead, and who won't shrink from lying as to what she admitted to him on his arrival in this cesspool, as to her complicity in her husband's murder, I suppose you'd best take your swing. :'''Seth Bullock''': ''[After beating Mr. Russell]'' All right. Leave this camp, and draw a map for anyone who wants to believe your fucking lies. Anyone wants to put your daughter or her holdings in jeopardy, you show 'em how to get here and you tell 'em I'll be waiting. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': I don't care if the whole U.S. Cavalry walks in here, you don't want to pour another drink. You just want to listen to me 'cause if the man doesn't die whose face I just broke, he's gonna go to New York City and tell Brom Garret's people it breaks his heart to say so but his daughter had their son murdered. He'll tell 'em, knowing how he does, they won't want their son's rightful property in the hands of the woman who killed him. He'll swear to what he heard from her own lips. And those society people in New York City, who live with their heads up their asses anyway, will believe him. And whoever they send out here may take up to fifteen minutes before they decide that since you were involved in the transaction first to last. It must have been you and your boss she hired to push her idiot husband off the cliff. Of course, they'll be wrong about Mrs. Garret, but they'll be right as rain about you two cocksuckers. You tell him all that upstairs. :'''Dan Dority''': If he don't die. :'''Seth Bullock''': If he don't die. I don't think I killed him. :'''Dan Dority''': Just so I understand you, if he don't die, you're saying the man's luck don't have to hold out. Now, that's the message you want me to take upstairs. :'''Seth Bullock''': I don't swim in that shit. :'''Dan Dority''': You oughta pin that [sheriff's badge] on your chest. You're hypocrite enough to wear it. :'''Seth Bullock''': You just tell him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sol Star''': I'm guessing you've done things today you wish you could amend. :'''Seth Bullock''': What kind of man have I become, Sol? :'''Sol Star''': I don't know. The day ain't fucking over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': May I speak? :'''Cy Tolliver''': Mr. Bullock. :'''Seth Bullock''': I was a marshal in Montana, my father served in the British Royal Army, and my brother Robert was a cavalryman, killed fighting the Comancheros in Texas. :'''General Crook''': Why are you here, Mr. Bullock? :'''Seth Bullock''': A man named Otis Russell is laid up in this establishment, he needs protection. :'''General Crook''': Protection from whom? :'''Seth Bullock''': Several in this camp. I beat him badly. Others have reason to wish him dead, and the camp sheriff can be bought off for half a can of bacon grease. :'''General Crook''': Well, while we're here, I will hold Mr. Russell under protection, as a gesture to your brother's sacrifice. :'''Seth Bullock''': Thank you, sir. :'''General Crook''': I would add, in a camp, where the sheriff can be bought for bacon grease, a man, a former marshal, who understands the danger of his own temperament, might consider serving his fellows. We all have bloody thoughts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': I'll be the fucking sheriff. :'''Al Swearengen''': Startin' when? :'''Seth Bullock''': Startin' now. :'''Al Swearengen''': You have the tin? :'''Seth Bullock''': I do. :'''Al Swearengen''': Produce it. :''[Seth stands up, and pulls out the badge]'' :'''Al Swearengen''': On the tit. :'''Seth Bullock''': I know where it goes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Announcing your plans is a good way to hear God laugh. ==Season Two== ===A Lie Agreed Upon, Part One=== :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[to Bullock]'' Sheriff! About his duties to the camp, huh? Luck trouble didn't jump out earlier, huh, Bullock? Might have found you mid-thrust at other business. ''[Bullock stops and stares]'' What is it? Taken by a vision? ''[Bullock glares at him]'' You would not want to be staring like ''that'' at ''me.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Age impedes my stream, no fucking fear of you. :'''Seth Bullock''': Get in here. :'''Al Swearengen''': All in due fucking course but tell me one thing first, Bullock, as I stand here fucking humbled. Does the widow Garret have a going fucking hard rock concern and five-stamp mill crushing gold out of her quartz all day and fucking night? :'''Seth Bullock''': What? :'''Al Swearengen''': Or does she cast her lot with the camp, furnish others here a chance to develop what they got, to hang on or even prosper? :'''Seth Bullock''': You pie-faced cocksucker, get in here and account for your insult. :'''Al Swearengen''': Or, with you at her ear - among other points of entry - instead of doing your civic duty, does she ship her fucking loot to Denver? :'''Seth Bullock''': Civic duty? Opposed by her own and her dead husband's family, to put her assets at play in a camp with no law or government worth the name? :'''Al Swearengen''': See as here where she lives and struck lucky, civic duty? Yeah! And it's time for her and some others to quit their fucking shirking, Yankton's making its move. Ah, the fucking thing! :'''Seth Bullock''': Meaning what, "Yankton's making its move"? Without more insults. :'''Al Swearengen''': We're getting ass-fucked. Carved into counties, but not one fucking commissioner coming from the hills. :'''Seth Bullock''': How do you have this information? :'''Al Swearengen''': From the governor himself in a pricey little personal note. They want to make us a trough for Yankton's snouts, and them hoopleheads out there, they need buttressing against going over to those cocksuckers. Now I can handle my areas, but there's dimensions and fucking angles I'm not expert at. You would be if you'd sheathe your prick long enough. :'''Seth Bullock''': Shut up. :'''Al Swearengen''': And resume being the upright pain in the balls that graced us all last summer. :'''Seth Bullock''': Shut up, you son of a bitch. :'''Al Swearengen''': Jesus Christ. Bullock, the world abounds in cunt of every kind, including hers. ''[Bullock removes his Sheriff's badge]'' Of course, if it would steer you from something stupid, I, uh, could always profess another position. :'''Seth Bullock''': Will I find you've got a knife on you? :'''Al Swearengen''': I won't need no fucking knife. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cy Tolliver''': ''[watching Bullock and Al fight]'' Awful possibility in these matters is both men sustaining mortal injury... ''[After the fight]'' But I'm rarely that fucking lucky. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Welcome to fuckin' Deadwood! Can be... combative! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Wave a penny under the Jew's nose. They have living breath in them, brings 'em right round. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cy Tolliver''': Suck some pricks if you like. Keep whatever they give you as my way of saying welcome. :'''Maddie''': Any blind ones out there? ===A Lie Agreed Upon, Part Two=== :'''Doc Cochran''': Jane, for me, the female breast long ago lost mystery or allure. Open your goddamn blouse. :'''Calamity Jane''': I'll keep my fucking eyes shut, but I'll know every fucking move you make. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Silas Adams''': For what it's worth, Yankton's afraid of Bullock. :'''Al Swearengen''': Well, say no more. Refrain from explaining yourself. :'''Silas Adams''': Till Congress approves, nothing's to say the Hills get made part of Dakota. Far as that, Montana's got pull Dakota don't. Montana's got silver for bribes. :'''Al Swearengen''': Thievin' Indian agent's all fucking Dakota's got. :'''Silas Adams''': It ain't fucking fresh money to the game. :'''Dan Dority''': And how does that argue for Bullock living or dying? :'''Silas Adams''': Yankton thinks Bullock's Montana's Man. :'''Al Swearengen''': On what basis? :'''Silas Adams''': He was favorite of a judge in Helena that wanted him in politics. They figure he's a stalking horse here for the judge's interests. :'''Dan Dority''': Then Yankton's got their head up their fucking asses if they think Bullock's anybody's man. Hell, Bullock himself don't even know whose man he is. :'''Al Swearengen''': In the thoroughfare, as I readied to stab the cocksucker, did you have no impulse to hint at this? :'''Silas Adams''': The moment didn't seem right. :'''Al Swearengen''': Over time, your quickness with a cocky rejoinder must have gotten you many punches in the face. :'''Silas Adams''': Depends what you call, 'many'. :'''Dan Dority''': There's another fucking clever one. :'''Al Swearengen''': To Yankton's thinking, would Bullock dead curb Montana's interests or incite them to a stronger expression? :'''Silas Adams''': I don't know. :'''Al Swearengen''': If he's spoiling to mix it with us further, they may get a chance to find out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alma Garret''': We do love each other. Our being together ought not to seem so outlandish a proposition. Except for every other single thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tom Nuttall''': ''[Regarding Silas and Dan]'' Them too seem disputatious as well, huh? :'''Al Swearengen''': Storm clouds gather. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Jesus Christ! :'''Johnny Burns''': Either Al got God or Dolly just stuck her thumb back up his ass. :'''Al Swearengen''': Now, I'm halfway thinking this exaggerates the condition rather than alleviate it. If I might should query the doc, but then that cocksucker will only ask after gleets. Oh my God! Take it out. Take it out! Remove your fucking thumb! Why, if I was moving forward to get away from you, would you have fucking pursued me? When I stopped, pressed on yourself, to drive your thumb into my intestine? :'''Dolly''': Sorry. :'''Al Swearengen''': Is it a river of blood, or what the fuck's pouring out of it now? :'''Dolly''': Nothing. :'''Al Swearengen''': Huh. Close the ass-flap. The entire area of my fucking asshole is now one gigantic fucking throb. I have no idea what's transpiring in there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[Receiving a blowjob]'' Even this, now gives me no pleasure. :'''Seth Bullock''': ''[From outside]'' Swearengen! Be down in five minutes with my gun and badge! :'''Calamity Jane''': Start down now, you limey cocksucker! Allow for getting stuck from crawling out from under the bed. :'''Al Swearengen''': That Bullock is a fucking strategist, ain't he? Sets terms to publicly humiliate me, and my penalty if I don't comply is he walks into the bar downstairs and takes fifteen bullets in the chest. And that ain't no hooplehead, you know. Bullock, he's one of those special fucking cases, you don't know what in fucks going on in their mind, and he's big with Montana. Big. I heard that today. Because the news earlier from Yankton and the fucking commissioners wasn't adequately confusing. Not to mention the fucking telegraph coming in and four whores that I don't know who the fuck they work for. :'''Seth Bullock''': ''[From outside]'' Three minutes! :'''Al Swearengen''': Shut the fuck up! I suppose I do fucking understand. So fucking confused and disgusted and wanting it to end and looking for the blessing of a quick way out. Sets himself to a higher fucking standard than our natures, and he wants execution 'cause he's failed. :'''Seth Bullock''': One minute! :'''Charlie Utter''': What the fuck happened to two? :'''Al Swearengen''': Talk about one person, fucking up another person's entire fucking day. ''[Goes outside to the balcony, points at Bullock]'' Wait. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Burns''': He's coming, he's detained. Getting dressed. :'''Calamity Jane''': Ain't it always a trial picking out the best gown best conceals you fucking pissed yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': I regret the delay, I was sequestered. Have been, one thing and another, since last we met. I also apologize for the stink. :'''Calamity Jane''': Welcome change from your usual odor of skunk! :'''Al Swearengen''': I offer these, and I hope you'll wear them a good long fucking time in this fucking camp, whose ever fucking thumb we're under. And where it come to me just a few moments ago that the Reverend Smith, may he rest his soul, he was found on the road, apparently murdered by heathens just some months ago. What he said on the subject of you: 'Mr. Bullock raises a camp up' and I hope he'll reside with us and improve our general fucking atmosphere for a good long fucking time, even with all the personal complications and fucking disasters that we all fucking have, and where, running away solves absolutely fucking nothing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': A full fair-mindedness requires us also to report that within the Gem, on Deadwood's main thoroughfare, comely whores, decently priced liquor and the squarest games of chance in the hills remain unabatedly available at all hours, seven days a week. <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': The economic aspect is one fabric in the tapestry of journalism. :'''Al Swearengen''': Ass-fucking the dirt worshippers being another? A pleasure beyond gain. :'''A.W. Merrick''': Now, now, now. :'''Al Swearengen''': Oh, is that your Heathen imitation? Jump up and down and give a few whoops, as in "Whoop, that ass fucking hurts." ===New Money=== :'''Maddie''': The creature I saw outside our place last night, who you said is the camp's mayor, now perches like a vulture over that man at breakfast. :'''Joanie Stubbs''': Farnum. He owns the hotel. :'''Maddie''': Have you affection for Mayor Farnum? :'''Joanie Stubbs''': None. :'''Maddie''': Good. Because the man the mayor expects to digest is going to toy and play with Mr. Farnum from camouflage for as long as he finds it amusing. And then make him a meal of his own. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B. Farnum''': August commencement to my administration, standing stymied outside a saloon door, next to a degenerate tit licker! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan Dority''': Do you want to leave him a message? :'''E.B. Farnum''': In fact I do. "Al, if you're not dead and already moldering, I send news to revive you. A fish to rival the fabled Leviathan has swum into our waters. Get well soon and we'll land the cocksucker together. Your friend, E.B." ''[beat]'' You might add, as a post-script: "I also have the news you dispatched me to secure of the newly arrived cunt." Please. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': Swearengen said the county commissioners are all from Yankton. :'''Sol Star''': When was this? :'''Seth Bullock''': Just before we hit the mud. It’s wrong [[w:Black Hills|the hills]] get no representation. :'''Sol Star''': Even in an Eden like this, wrongs sometimes occur. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': You've approached a group in San Francisco that does business with my employer. :'''Cy Tolliver''': That ''group'' and ''employer'' bullshit really quickens me with fuckin' trust. :'''Wolcott''': That group you've approached is a fraternal Chinese organization. :'''Tolliver''': "Tong" is not a clever enough word? :'''Wolcott''': You offered them a contract to send members to this camp. That organization has a pre-existing arrangement with my employer. :'''Tolliver''': So you work for who, Wolcott? The railroads? Some mining combination that brings those slant-eyes in by the boatload? :'''Wolcott''': No, sir. I work for one man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B. Farnum''': Some ancient Italian maxim fits our situation, whose particulars escape me. :'''Francis Wolcott''': Is the gist that I'm shit outta luck? :'''Farnum''': Did they speak that way then? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Trixie''': I'll pay you, or you can take it out in cunt. ===Requiem for a Gleet=== :'''Ellsworth''': Because them as poke around Miz Garret’s workings without a by-your-leave ain’t welcome, Mr. Wolcott, and you ought not to repeat your fuckin’ mistake. :'''Wolcott''': Well, that’s an uncivil response to an innocent error. :'''Ellsworth''': Did you work in the Comstock when you was beardless? :'''Wolcott''': I did. :'''Ellsworth''': For Mr. George Hearst, as a keen eye for the color? :'''Wolcott''': As a geologist for Mr. Hearst. Well, you have the advantage of me, Mr. Ellsworth. :'''Ellsworth''': That ain’t a possibility, Wolcott. No more than an error of yours would be innocent. :'''Wolcott''': I do dimly recall an Ellsworth superintended the consolidated Virginia operations. :'''Ellsworth''': I don’t give a fuck what you recall. :'''Wolcott''': A hero. Dug a week without respite to save three poor souls from a cave-in. :'''Ellsworth''': And 46 corpses in a fucking hole that ought never to have been dug. :'''Wolcott''': Always a choice... to count the saved or the lost. :'''Ellsworth''': Get off this property. :'''Wolcott''': Just as a man opposed to inevitable change needn’t invariably be called a Luddite, another choice might be simply to describe him as slow in his processes. :'''Ellsworth''': You tell that cocksucker you work for the next surrogate he sends oughtn't to be bloodied from the Comstock. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B.''': It is no disloyalty to be a realist, Richardson. We are mortal. One hopes for the best. One perseveres. One re-evaluates constantly. One is an asshole if one doesn't. Loyalty expanded is not loyalty betrayed. I contemplate no disloyalty to Al Swearengen. I feel exposed. I don't like being weak, and I know that I am. I yearn to rely on a stronger will. I fear what I'm capable of in its absence. Whereas you, Richardson, know nothing of yourself. Are you shitting or going blind? Or on foot or horseback? You vile fucking lump! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sol Star''': If money had to be clean before it was recirculated we would still be living in fucking caves. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B.''': Miserable, haughty cunt. Putting me beyond my depth. ===Complications=== :'''Al''': ''[after waking up from his "coma"]'' Did you fuck me when I was out? :'''Dan''': Hell, no. :'''Al''': Then quit looking at me like that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richardson''': I like you. :'''Alma''': Thank you, Richardson. :'''Richardson''': You’re purdy. :'''Alma''': Thank you very much. And probably that’s all either of us needs to say on that subject ever again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugo''': Had you vision as well as sight, you would recognize within me not only a man, but an institution and the future as well. :'''Steve''': Fuck you, fuck the institution, and fuck the future! :'''Hugo''': You cannot fuck the future, sir. The future fucks you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al''': Do they understand how most of what happens is people being drunk and stupid and trying to find something else to blame besides that that makes their lives totally fucked? No. They don't. ===Something Very Expensive=== :'''Doc Cochran''': You, Al, are an object lesson in the healing powers of obstinacy and a hostile disposition. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sol''': If you keep it up, we're going to fight, and you'll have to work by yourself while I convalesce. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Commissioner Jarry''': And you, Mr. Wolcott, I find you the most severe disappointment of all. :'''Wolcott''': Often to myself as well. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Merrick''': Lot, before God, could make no case for that food. :'''Mary''': Lot's wife may have been in that food. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cy Tolliver''': Now that's an attitude right there I want us to counsel on. Smart-alecky sort of attitude and almost with a quality of.. fuckin' anger to it. I don't find the exact fuckin' words for it, but it fuckin' disturbs and concerns me. :'''Francis Wolcott''': By my lights, I feel I manage well. :'''Cy Tolliver''': Well, you can say that, Mr. Wolcott, yet I hear accounts that you're a dangerous lay, and that adds to my feeling disturbed. Are you inclined, sir, every so often to.. 'ride one off the cliff'? Girls, I mean. :'''Francis Wolcott''': I am disturbed at my private conduct being spoken of. :'''Cy Tolliver''': Well, I should think you fuckin' would be. And to think of Mr. Hearst's disturbance if he was to fuckin' know. Because, that's a dangerous habit to indulge when you're not among friends. :'''Francis Wolcott''': Are you my friend, Mr. Tolliver? :'''Cy Tolliver''': And someone past surprise at habits or inclination, or turns of events, and who don't confuse himself far as sitting in judgment with our Lord in fuckin' heaven. :'''Francis Wolcott''': I see :'''Cy Tolliver''': And who would never tattle to your employer or jeopardize what's got to be a handsome fuckin' income. God damn right, I am your friend, Mr. Wolcott. All I can't provide for the party is the cliff. :'''Francis Wolcott''': Believing yourself past surprise does not commend you to me as a friend. A man inadequately sophisticated or merely ignorant, or simply stupid, may believe himself past surprise, then be surprised to discover, for example, that Mr. Hearst already knows of my inclinations and finds them immaterial. Suggesting as a corollary that your skills for blackmail and manipulation no longer are assets to you, and for your fatuous belief in their efficacy, in fact have become liabilities. In short, you've overplayed your hand. Now I should think, in consequence, now recognizing yourself as a man past his time, that during this last transitional period you would devote yourself with grateful and quiet diligence to such uses as others may still find you suitable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': ''[muttering to himself]'' Past hope. Past kindness or consideration. Past justice. Past satisfaction. Past warmth or cold or comfort. Past love. But past surprise? What an endlessly unfolding tedium life would then become! ===E.B. Was Left Out=== :'''Al Swearengen''': Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man—and give some back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': I feel you breathing down my neck. :'''Charlie Utter''': Should I exhale out my ass? :'''Francis Wolcott''': And I believe you're doing it intentionally. :'''Charlie Utter''': Why? You think I believe you're a fuckin' cunt? :'''Francis Wolcott''': ''[turns to face Utter]'' If we fight, it won't be a casual matter. :'''Charlie Utter''': Ohhh, I see you got your big fuckin' knife there, and hid somewhere on your persons you've probably got some pussified shootin' instrument. But I am good at first impressions, and you ''are'' a fucking cunt, and I DOUBT you've fought many MEN, maybe even ONE! <hr width="50%" /> :'''E.B. Farnum''': The bald contempt of it. Why not come out five abreast? Cavorting and taunting, "E.B was left out! E.B was left out!" Cocksuckers! Cunt-lickers! I'll make you filthy gestures. Public service was never my primary career. Two come this way... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alma Garret''': ''[regarding Sofia]'' You frighten her. :'''Al Swearengen''': I have that effect. :'''Alma Garret''': I think specifically it was your plotting against her life. :'''Al Swearengen''': I'd take tea :'''Alma Garret''': What do you wish to discuss? :'''Al Swearengen''': The child's tutor you recently sacked.. :'''Alma Garret''': Miss Isringhausen? :'''Al Swearengen''': She's a Pinkerton. :'''Alma Garret''': I don't find that credible. :'''Al Swearengen''': That's the way they like it. Your husband's family chartered the agency to pin his dying on you so when you're jailed or hanged they can bag your gold. :'''Alma Garret''': How do you support this contention? :'''Al Swearengen''': Oh, she's come to me, and wants to give me money to confirm what she says you confessed: that you hired me to kill him. :'''Alma Garret''': How much have they offered? :'''Al Swearengen''': 50,000. :'''Alma Garret''': And how much do you ask of me as commission to tell the truth? :'''Al Swearengen''': I don't like the Pinkertons. They're muscle for the bosses, as if the bosses ain't got enough edge... :'''Alma Garret''': So you'd side with me on principle? :'''Al Swearengen''': Now I'll finish my fucking sentence. :'''Alma Garret''': Excuse me. :'''Al Swearengen''': I don't like the Pinkertons. Being the Hearst combine and their fucking ilk got their eyes on taking over here, your staying suits my purpose. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': What happened to Tolliver illustrated till the race is fucking finished, never mark the fucking wager paid. Wakes up this morning in bed with the fucking Hearst combine, knowing he's got us by the balls. Whatever sick fucking business that geologist has transacted, you can bet he had his wrists in it up... :'''Dan Dority''': Tolliver. :'''Al Swearengen''': Tolliver, yeah. Before, after, and in the fucking middle too, thinking he's got the fucking edge, which is the right fucking move. Underwriting whatever sick business that geologist was involved in guarantees his fucking position, but what fucking happens, Dan? :'''Dan Dority''': Fucks himself up the ass, Tolliver. :'''Swearengen''': No mean feat! Yet how often we bring it off. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barfly''': I won't fuck Chinese; I got a mother living yet. :'''Hawkeye''': She the jealous type? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Con''': Hey, you ever hear, Tom, the Chinese whore has a ancient way of milking ya of yer sorrow, your loneliness and that awful feeling of bein’ forsaken? :'''Tom''': Seems to me that’d leave you with nothing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Request of the widow Garret E.B. that I may be allowed to call upon her. :'''E.B. Farnum''': Today? Shall I tell her time is of the essence? :'''Al Swearengen''': When ain't it? :'''E.B. Farnum''': I'll aim for early afternoon :'''Al Swearengen''': Stop walking with me E.B.. :'''E.B. Farnum''': Yes, of course. And if she pries and pokes and prods me to elicit your intentions? :'''Al Swearengen''': Tell her I wouldn't say. :'''E.B. Farnum''': And if she asks me why you wouldn't? :'''Al Swearengen''': Say you're a pain in my balls that can't desist from inquiry till told to shut his fucking mouth and act on the task he was asked to fucking do! <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B. Farnum''': Have we a new Pope? :'''Al Swearengen''': She's some fuck, E.B.. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': What's this about? :'''Trixie''': I'm done at that hardware store with their fuckin' harpin' and badgerin'. :'''Al Swearengen''': Who's harping? The jew? :'''Trixie''': Are you making a fuckin' pun? :'''Al Swearengen''': I'm asking a fucking question. :'''Trixie''': The jew. And fuckin' Bullock also. I'm erratic with my decimals and the like. :'''Al Swearengen''': So harping now is a hardship on the same fucking order of a boot on your fucking neck? Do not fucking fault them, Trixie, for your own fucking fears of tumblin' to somethin' new. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sol Star''': Guidance for me, before you turn to your numbers? :'''Trixie''': Tread lightly, who lives in hope of pussy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': A man, as it happens a rival of mine, learning the secret of a great man's lieutenant would make that lieutenant his slave. My rival knows that expanding the circle of the informed, diluting his power, will confound his intention, so he takes precaution to be the sole sharer of his secret. Then the world being the world.. along comes a half-assed knight-errant, Utter, Hickok's ex-partner, to put all my rival's plans at risk. I'd seek audience with Utter, verify my thinking. He earns his bread shipping packages. And as the dimwit nobility that made him intercede may now make him reticent, you, Chief, will be my prop and ploy whilst I seek to draw him out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B. Farnum''': Why, Al? :'''Al Swearengen''': Why, E.B.? Because being present at that meeting and made as you are, blackmail would have proved irresistible and pursuing it would have gotten you murdered. :'''E.B. Farnum''': Thank you then. Am I still the Mayor? :'''Al Swearengen''': For all of me? In perpetuity. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': Prudence dictates my requiring, in return, your account of what Miss Stubbs told you. :'''Charlie Utter''': The prudentest thing you can do is not name that girl again with me in the fucking room. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': I am simply asking confirmation of what you were told and by whom. :'''Charlie Utter''': And I'm promising I'll sooner blow off your fucking head, and take the fucking letter from your corpse than confide any fucking particulars. :'''Francis Wolcott''': To me? :'''Charlie Utter''': To any fucking one, when I give my word I wouldn't. ===Childish Things=== :'''Seth Bullock''': Maybe you’re mistrusted less as a killer than showin’ your cards a corner at a time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tom''': My bicycle masters boardwalk and quagmire with aplomb. Those that doubt me, suck cock by choice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': Sometimes I hear you speakin’ in here when I know there’s nobody in here but you. :'''Al''': You have not yet reached the age, Dan, have you, where you’re moved to utterance of thoughts properly kept silent? :'''Dan''': Been known to mutter. :'''Al''': Not the odd mutter. Habitual fuckin’ vocalizing of thoughts best kept to yourself. I will confide further. Lately... I talk to this package: the severed rotting head I paid bounty on last year of that murdered fuckin’ Indian. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joanie Stubbs''': Would you like a drink? :'''Jane''': Yes. But my opening position is no. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie''': ''[at Bill Hickok's grave]'' Evenin’, Bill. Jane ain’t with me, ‘cause she’s a drunken fuckin’ mess, and I don’t know what to do about it. I know you want her looked out for, and I’m doin’ my fuckin’ best. But I won’t stand before you claimin’ optimism. Other news. That letter you wrote your wife just before that cocksucker murdered you, it come to my hand. I won’t even try explainin’ fuckin’ how. And knowin’ what we know about our fucked up postal system, I ain’t committin’ it to the fuckin’ mails. You know I will try to get it to her, which I pray’d be a portion off your mind. When I’ve found where she’s at, on my way settin’ off I’ll tell you. All right. God bless you, Bill. ''[starts to leave and then turns back]'' And as far as Jane, as drunk as you’ve seen her, you’ve never seen her this worse. Between us, maybe havin’ lost, wantin’ to keep on. So I - I don’t know what the fuck to do! But you know I’ll— I’ll keep tryin.’ ''[leaves]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Summon from Farnum that cunt with the long Kraut moniker. :'''Johnny Burns''': E.B. ain't been over for coffee. :'''Al Swearengen''': Should I ask if Farnum's come for coffee before I get you to summon that cunt? ''[To the disembodied 'Chief']'' Dead and without a body, you strill outstrip him for intelligence. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': Seeing you know about losing friends, you might be a good person to go on and talk to her. :'''Jane Cannary''': How does standing in my own puke prompt you to volunteer me to give a condolence call? :'''Charlie Utter''': Why fucking wouldn't it, Jane? You like being situated how you are? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alma Garret''': My beliefs about you have to do with your soul, which I feel is cold and ungenerous, unless you are a counterfeit. And if you are a counterfeit, the deception comes so naturally, I'd credit its source in such a soul.. meaning, cold and ungenerous, and as capable of counterfeit.. manipulative and treacherous as well. :'''Miss Isringhausen''': Who can you think I am, Mrs. Garret? I, a poor working girl? :'''Alma Garret''': You are not. :'''Miss Isringhausen''': I only hope your high wroth, ma'am, don't bespeak some affair gone amiss.. I hope to Christ not involving Mr. Bullock. ''[Alma tries to slap Miss Inringhausen, Miss Inringhausen catches Alma by the wrist]'' Even under such duress, you oughtn't presume to strike me. For who do you take me then? For who do you mistake me? :'''Alma Garret''': I mistake you for no one, Miss Isringhausen, and I know you for a fact. :'''Miss Isringhausen''': All right then, Mrs. Garret. You've had your fit of temper, get the fuck back to your room. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[To the disembodied 'Chief']'' Sent many of your friends to the happy hunting ground. Formidable Tom was, and no more a fool now than time shows us all. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martha Bullock''': This roof over our heads, Mr. Bullock, testifies to your care for William and me. The fostering affection and guidance you show my son to shape him into a man will only deepen my gratitude to you. As for myself, no further demonstrations are necessary as.. other duties claim your attentions. :'''Seth Bullock''': None such as you conceive since your arrival, nor will they again, whatever the state of our relations. :'''Martha Bullock''': Do not sacrifice further on my account, Mr. Bullock. I reject the offering. I repudiate it! I find it poisonous! <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': Is this true, Al? :'''Al Swearengen''': Did he fucking confirm it to you? :'''A.W. Merrick''': I haven't spoken to Bullock. :'''Al Swearengen''': So, then I guess it ain't confirmed. Answer me this fucking question: why in fuck do I find out about this telegraph operator arriving tardily and by accident? :'''A.W. Merrick''': I wasn't aware that you were owed official notification. :'''Al Swearengen''': Merrick, you and me are allies, marching into battle together, and aren't smart-assed replies amongst allies a waste of fucking time? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doc Cochran''': Do you speak Chinese? :'''Francis Wolcott''': I do not, sir. :'''Doc Cochran''': However you accomplish communication with that son of a bitch, then the more the '''disgrace''' to your soul! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mose Manuel''': That easy, to forget a fucking brother!? :'''Francis Wolcott''': Money has properties in this regard! ..Though no remedy is discovered yet sovereign against sentimental remorse. ===Amalgamation and Capital=== :'''Samuel Fields''': ''[talking to a horse before he and Hostetler castrate it]'' Now, if you want to take it out on someone, remember it was very dark-skinned white folks that cut on you. They just sounded like niggers to throw you off. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tom Nuttall''': Knowledge is overrated, William. Diligence is what’s required in the service of a willing spirit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': On my order, Mr. Tolliver, Lee will burn this building, mutilating you before, during or after as I specify, or when he chooses unless I forbid. :'''Cy Tolliver''': Oh, my full attention is at your disposal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Dan, don't you agree that the truth, if only a pinch, must season every falsehood, or the palate fucking rebels? And mustn't the novice chef be mindful not to ladle out his concoction by the unseasoned fucking ton, lest before he perfect his art, he lose his clientele? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Every rumor you floated in your article, Merrick, I believe is a living possibility for this camp, and I want you to fucking hear that as a compliment. :'''A.W. Merrick''': If so, it's the first from your lips. :'''Al Swearengen''': Because all them possibilities, called next to accomplished fact, in one fucking outgush makes people smell a rat. :'''A.W. Merrick''': Yes, I suppose so. :'''Al Swearengen''': These interests coming after us, Merrick, they're fucking rough. They're going after our nuts. They're hypocrite cocksuckers, and the fucking lying tactics and instruments they use to fuck people up the ass can be turned against them. :'''A.W. Merrick''': My newspaper being such an instrument. :'''Al Swearengen''': But scale, amount, proportion, seasoning. Drink that fucking second shot, Merrick! :'''A.W. Merrick''': I like my fucking liquor. :'''Al Swearengen''': A trait in you that gave me early hope. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': A letter come to hand I need to take to Bill's missus.. He wrote just before he got killed. :'''Seth Bullock''': I see. :'''Charlie Utter''': And you know who fucking give it to me? How crazy life got? And money must buy these bastards any fucking thing they want! That cocksucker inside, Mr. amalgamation & fucking capital! :'''Seth Bullock''': Hearst's geologist gave you the letter? :'''Charlie Utter''': And god knows who he fucking bought it off of or how many hands it passed through. It fucks me up thinking Bill's missus got to handle something that cocksucker touched. :'''Seth Bullock''': Was it over the letter you beat him the other day? :'''Charlie Utter''': No, no. I give my word not to say what that was over. I'd best go, lest Mr. amalgamation & capital takes one through the fucking head. :'''Seth Bullock''': What's the import of that expression? :'''Charlie Utter''': Do I look like I'd fucking know? Some big-shot eastern magazine reporter interviewing Bill said that was what's changing things around. Jane, I don't know what's gonna come of fucking Jane. :'''Seth Bullock''': I'll keep an eye on her. :'''Charlie Utter''': You should lock her in that cell and don't let her fucking drink! And don't fuck yourself up over Mose Manuel. He will get hisself fleeced of what is rightfully his and what he got by fuckin' murder. He'll be judge on hisself and jury too, just like the fucking most of us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': New saloon in the camp, Jane? :'''Jane Cannary''': I know that's some clever opening gambit to culminate in breaking my balls. :'''Charlie Utter''': Just saying I checked the usual spots 'cause I wanted to say goodbye before I left camp, so in case you go ahead and fucking die... :'''Jane Cannary''': Goodbye, Charlie, goodbye. Have a good fucking trip. Shut the fuck up! 'Cause it so happens, when you return, if no trees of animals killed you, that you were fucking driving crazy with criticism, you will find I've moved out of this shitbox, so I don't have to fucking embarrass you or fucking have you hovering over me like the ugliest fucking nurse in the fucking universe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Mrs. Garret writ me a letter saying how yesterday she lost her temper with you somewhat, and judgment, she tipped she was on to you being a Pinkerton. Oh, being bright, I expect you concluded it was me must have told her, meaning maybe I had sold over to her, and with my allegiance now in question, I expect you wired the Pinkerton big-shots, arguing you oughtn't sign any documents that might be able to prove that you, the agency, and Mrs. Garret's fucking in-laws hired me to lay at Mrs. Garret's doorstep the murder of her husband. :'''Miss Isringhausen''': And further, Mr. Swearengen, that as to purchase of your allegiance, now in question, they might wish to keep the bidding open. :'''Al Swearengen''': Bidding is open always on everyone, Miss Isringhausen. But I expect you understand, knowing as I do, should Mrs. Garret lose her claim, rather than operate it themselves, her cunt in-laws will sell to third-party cocksuckers inimical to the whole of my interests in this camp! To buy my allegiance against myself, in-law cunts and shit-heel operators would have to bid very high indeed. ===Advances, None Miraculous=== :'''Hostetler''': Horse run trash like that over by accident, still ain’t a white man on earth gonna stand up against roping us up, now is there? :'''Samuel Fields''': John Brown would’ve. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Sign these documents and leave unharmed. :'''Alice Isringhausen''': I can’t trust that, Mr. Swearengen, being that it’s not to your interests. :'''Al Swearengen''': That applies to you most, fuckin’ sittin’ in that chair distracting my fuckin’ thinking. If I have to come over there, I’ll cut your fuckin’ throat for you, pen yet put to paper or not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': And thus the uncharted journey continues. :'''Al Swearengen''': Merrick, please. As we’ll be more often in each other’s company, when given to utterance of that type—consider drinking. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wolcott''': I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugo Jarry''': I do not, my friend Adams, take it up the ass... But I suspect those that do, do so because they consider they advance their own interests. Shall we not, like them, pursue our mutual gratification? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sol Star''': The cocksucker upstairs sends his retriever out to collect me with instructions I'm to wait 'till summoned. :'''Trixie''': I suppose then you should sit the fuck down. :'''Sol Star''': And I come, too, and find you like you never left this place to learn your numbers. :'''Trixie''': Did you teaching me make me accountable for my whereabouts the rest of my fucking days? :'''Sol Star''': If he wants me, he can fucking come find me. :'''Trixie''': Why not wait and find out what he wants? :'''Sol Star''': Why don't you tell me yourself? :'''Trixie''': Because I don't know that, Mr. Star. :'''Sol Star''': Other events have a claim to attention. :'''Trixie''': He knows about other events. :'''Sol Star''': And ain't you his fucking lapdog, Trixie!? :'''Trixie''': I ain't nobody's fucking lapdog. :'''Sol Star''': Hard to think, even, of you coming to learn numbers without its being to his purpose. :'''Trixie''': Any more to that fucking thought? :'''Sol Star''': I'll have a fucking drink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Before his present troubles and whilst you pursued your preferred activities, your partner Bullock joined in a campaign to which I hope you will now subscribe. :'''Sol Star''': What do you mean my, "preferred activities"? :'''Al Swearengen''': Oh, a reference to your people's penchant for money-getting. A poor attempt at wit. :'''Sol Star''': I don't find those funny. :'''Al Swearengen''': I apologize. :'''Sol Star''': If you want my help, don't insult me. :'''Al Swearengen''': Oh, Jesus Christ, show me the secret grip that proves my regret and let's be about our fucking business. ===The Whores Can Come=== :'''Al Swearengen''': It wouldn’t be the worst thing, backing a loser to Hearst. Let him pick me up from the canvas after, dust me the fuck off. I raise the great man’s hand and murmur, best as I can through split lips, "Your man beat my man’s balls off, Mr. Hearst." But Hearst’s chink boss in that alley ain’t to my fuckin’ taste. So what if something delays the battle of the chinks? Say, durin’ that interval I get to show my ass a few times to Mr. Hearst. Meanwhile, that pain in the balls Wu is sketching up a storm, drawin’ fuckin’ little pictures of himself brandishin’ the lash, drivin’ from a delivery ship a quota of chinks to be blown to pieces by dynamite working in the mines for Hearst at half the fee, per chink, that Hearst is paying the San Francisco cocksucker. Now, by this time Hearst has seen my ass so many times, he knows I’m no long-term threat. So some brief opposition of our interests ain’t gonna make him feel like he needs to engage me in a death struggle, say, by opposin’ local elections. Those circumstances, we can risk backing Wu, and the great man figures, "I am damaged by neither outcome. Why not retire to a neutral corner and test my import against the locals?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alma Garret''': I've wished sometimes only to play checkers or to occupy myself some other way than having to see and feel so much sadness, or feel every moment how difficult things are, to understand or to live with. I've sometimes felt I couldn't live with them, but I find I can, Sofia. I've found I am, even when I think I'm not or that I can't. Can you look to me now, Sofia? Can you try? I will be so grateful if you will trust me with your sadness, and I will trust you with mine, so that even when we are sad we will be grateful for how much we love each other, and know that we are in the world as much in our pain as in our happiness. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Francis Wolcott''': You're a desperate man, aren't you, Tolliver? Desperate. You feel your position weakening. ===Boy the Earth Talks To=== :'''Hearst''': ''[noticing a stuffed buck's head on the wall]'' Your kill, sir? :'''Swearengen''': Who? :'''Hearst''': The animal. :'''Swearengen''': Oh fuck no, I'm a fucking terrible shot. Work better closer in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tom Nuttall''': There’s talk of an offer on my place. :'''Al Swearengen''': How will you answer? :'''Tom Nuttall''': I came to take counsel with you. :'''Al Swearengen''': Drunk or sober is my question. :'''Tom Nuttall''': Well, I have my wits about me, Al. :'''Al Swearengen''': Maybe, then, you’ll want a few more, huh? :'''Tom Nuttall''': Don’t talk to me in fucking riddles. :'''Al Swearengen''': Drunk, Tom, for reasons not to do with business, you’ll sell. If that’s your decision, let me offer. Sober, you know sellin’s stupid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': ''[slaps the wall of his room in the Grand Central Hotel]'' These walls are coming down. :'''Wolcott''': They'll be your walls soon. :'''Hearst''': Ever since I was a child in Missouri I've been down ever hole I could find. :'''Wolcott''': Boy-the-earth-talks-to. :'''Hearst''': Yeah, I've told you, that's what the Indians call me. :'''Wolcott''': Yes. :'''Hearst''': It talks to you too, Francis, I know. Our time together, your hearing has stayed keen. But this gambler Tolliver, who was our agent for buying the claims has spoken to me about you. He says that you've killed women. Prostitutes. That he has disposed of the bodies for you. :'''Wolcott''': ''[stunned, fumbles putting out his cigar]'' :'''Hearst''': WELL!? :'''Wolcott''': When I was in Campeche, you wrote a letter on my behalf. :'''Hearst''': To the Jefe de Policia. :'''Wolcott''': "I am aware of Mr. Wolcott's difficulty. You will find me personally grateful for any adjustments you may make in his case." What did you think that was about? :'''Hearst''': I didn't think about it. You were my agent in Mexico! You had many responsibilities. You asked me for the letter and I wrote it! :'''Wolcott''': As when the earth talks to you particularly, you never ask its reasons. :'''Hearst''': I don't need to know why I'm lucky! :'''Wolcott''': What if the earth talks to us to get us to arrange its amusements? :'''Hearst''': That sounds like goddamned nonsense to me. :'''Wolcott''': Suppose to you it whispers, "You are king over me. I exist to flesh your will." :'''Hearst''': Nonsense. :'''Wolcott''': And to me... "There is no sin." It happened in Mexico and now it's happened here. :'''Hearst''': We must end our connection, you understand that, Francis. Make a severance you think is fair. You know I won't quibble. Does some spirit overtake you? Is that what you mean by the "talk"? :'''Wolcott''': No. :'''Hearst''': It tells me where the color is. That's all it tells me. My God. ==Season Three== ===Tell Your God to Ready For Blood=== :'''Mose Manuel''': Miss Stubbs holds what I'm doing for honest. :'''Jane Canary''': She no more needs a watchman than she does a fucking balloonist! And why should the young of this camp have to scurry past your man-toad figure to receive an education? :'''Mose Manuel''': The time they come for schoolin', I'm in back and out of sight! :'''Jane Canary''': Exposin' them to being terrified only when they use the privy! :'''Mose Manuel''': Go get your load on, Jane! :'''Jane Canary''': Do not instruct me how to spend my day! Or to itemize for you my crowded itinerary! ''[beat]'' You tub of blubber and guts! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doc Cochran''': You must drink this. :'''Alma Ellsworth''': I will not awaken that demon, Doctor. :'''Doc Cochran''': This has nothing to do with demons, Mrs. Ellsworth. This has to do with allaying the pain to get you through. Leave the demons to God and trust the pain to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Quick prick-suck, Bullock? Sally fuckin' forth to meet the great man with unencumbered thoughts? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Lie the fuck back and listen I need your truthful reply. Lie, I will know it, and death will be no respite. :'''E.B. Farnum''': I told Hearst nothing of Bullock and the widow. :'''Al Swearengen''': I will profane your fucking remains, E.B. :'''E.B. Farnum''': Not my remains, Al. :'''Al Swearengen''': Gabriel's trumpet will produce you from the ass of a pig. :'''E.B. Farnum''': You told me not to tell him, and I didn't. :'''Al Swearengen''': I believe you. :'''E.B. Farnum''': My pain is such that gives me no solace. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[to Richardson, who is worshipping antlers]'' Fucking pagan. Tell your God to ready for blood. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jane Canary''': Every day takes figuring out all over again how to fucking live. ===I Am Not the Fine Man You Take Me For=== :'''Silas Adams''': I just.. I feel shunted aside or the like, not involved as much as previous. :'''Al Swearengen''': Adams, you were busy with Star. :'''Silas Adams''': That you sent me off to see. :'''Al Swearengen''': Thinking you'd be back before time for the murders. :'''Silas Adams''': So it wasn't like a decision you made to have the murders while I was signing the papers? :'''Al Swearengen''': You've no idea how fuckin' badly you're boring me. ''[Knock at the door]'' Yeah? :'''Dan Dority''': That captain's brought over another envelope. :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[To Silas]'' Won't you see with me what this might portend? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Burns''': What's Al doing? :'''Dan Dority''': Like I fuckin' know. :'''Silas Adams''': If we was trailing water, we might get took for ducklings. <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': These last months have made me expert. It was gunfire, and it came from your saloon. :'''Al Swearengen''': Has not the press a duty, Merrick, qualifying its accounts in time of war? :'''A.W. Merrick''': Are we at war now here in the camp? Has that fact been suppressed as well? Absent formal declaration, Al, information which affects this community is not my prerogative to disseminate. To do so is my sacred responsibility. :'''Al Swearengen''': Whores currently disseminating a dose, for example? :'''A.W. Merrick''': To inform within decency's limits. We've had this discussion before. :'''Al Swearengen''': Citizens better die postulating than touch indecent ink. :'''A.W. Merrick''': Make a list of the infected whores and account for this morning's gunfire, and I'll publish it all. :'''Al Swearengen''': I won't, fucking Merrick, because neither's to my fucking interests. Just as you owning a print press proves only an interest in the truth, meaning up to a fucking point, slightly more than us others maybe, but short of a fucking anointing or the shouldering of a sacred burden - unless of course the print press was gift of an angel. I'd want to be there for that hand-off myself. Maybe you should print an extra saying the speeches are on again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': To labor without pleasure makes us our destiny's slaves. :'''Swearengen''': To work for crumbs or to keep from the lash says maybe a slave's what you are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': Accepting your premise, Mr. Swearengen, I'll not name how you would benefit from the action I wish you to take, saying only instead it's my will. To which I will have you bend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Farnum''': Puberty may bring you to understand what we take for mother-love is really murderous hatred and a desire for revenge. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': I'm older, and I'm much less friendly to fuckin' change. :'''Al Swearengen''': Change ain't lookin' for friends. Change calls the tune we dance to. ===True Colors=== :'''A.W. Merrick''': Erm, it occurs to me Al, as you and he are so evidently well-acquainted, the decent interval that Mr. Langrishe is owed to make his domestic arrangements I might spend hearing you talk of him. :'''Al Swearengen''': Ever wonder if you expressed yourself more directly, Merrick, you might fucking weigh less? :'''A.W. Merrick''': I see no logic in that whatever. :'''Al Swearengen''': I don't want to talk of Langrishe, he makes me fucking nervous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''A.W. Merrick''': A. W. Merrick, Mr. Langrishe, publisher of the ''Deadwood Pioneer''. :'''Jack Langrishe''': Ah! Accounting for the halo I see above you. :'''Al Swearengen''': Shit blizzard's early today. :'''Jack Langrishe''': He takes his tone with you as a familiar. :'''A.W. Merrick''': Oh, we're well-acquainted, Mr. Swearengen and I. :'''Jack Langrishe''': Mmm, new friends, old campaigners. :'''Al Swearengen''': The infrequent bloody win. :'''Jack Langrishe''': Always superfluous, bloodshed. The deeper damage is best. <hr width="50%"/> :'''E.B. Farnum''': ''[describing Mrs. Ellsworth to Hearst]'' A haughty cunt. Formerly weak for dope. Most fundamentally a sexual peccant, though I'm sworn against providing specifics. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack Langrishe''': It's the learning fuckin' nothin', Al, that keeps me young. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ellsworth''': Whatever’s toward what he wants. Not a flying fuck if it's true or how fucking soaked in blood. :'''Alma''': That talk serves no purpose. :'''Ellsworth''': What talk to a murderer does? :'''Hearst''': I'd not be insulted in my own rooms, Mr. Ellsworth. :'''Ellsworth''': Where shall we go for me to do it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[Giving Jack a tour of the camp]'' The Ellsworth house, richest claim next to Hearst, that woman. :'''Jack Langrishe''': What sort of plays does she favor? :'''Al Swearengen''': Oh, Christ, she told me and I fucking forgot. Goes through her men like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman%27s_March_to_the_Sea Sherman to the fucking sea]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': What makes you think any good will come of confronting Hearst now? :'''Seth Bullock''': Now is when he's killing people. :'''Al Swearengen''': What, you feel he'll leave off soon? :'''Seth Bullock''': Tactics and timing ain't the issue. :'''Al Swearengen''': The hell you say. ===Full Faith and Credit=== :'''Langrishe''': Shall I accompany as your second? My obvious unsuitability might confuse him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': Nigger General and Hostetler brung that horse back to camp that got away from 'em and trampled the Sheriff's boy. :'''Joanie Stubbs''': Is that so? :'''Charlie Utter''': Wherever the two of them was, I guess they didn't feel their lives were in enough danger. :'''Joanie Stubbs''': Well, people will do strange things. :'''Charlie Utter''': For years at a time. Pick any part of my life, for example. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Where the fuck have you been? :'''Silas Adams''': I was looking for someone whose name you told me never to say again. :'''Al Swearengen''': Amongst further instructions including not to look for him when he's fucking disappeared. :'''Silas Adams''': Well, I held off saying where I was. :'''Al Swearengen''': I can repose no truth in someone who traffics with that type douche bag. :'''Silas Adams''': I don't think Hawkeye's a douche bag. ''[Al slaps him]'' :'''Al Swearengen''': Who you believe you can salvage, Adams, is the douche bag you must avoid and no effort of yours can preclude at some point finding past help. And you yourself, being his consort in similar fucking straits. And all the energies I've poured into you gone for naught. I vow on that fucking subject, I find you dead 'cause of him I'll kick your corpse in the ear for the waste of my fucking time. :'''Silas Adams''': Anyways, what'd you want? :'''Al Swearengen''': I've named you to represent me in my dealings with fucking Hearst. Tolliver too, in that connection. :'''Silas Adams''': Tolliver in connection with Hearst? :'''Al Swearengen''': As he's put us in tandem, fucking Hearst. :'''Silas Adams''': You and Tolliver? :'''Al Swearengen''': If I sought an echo, Adams, I'd now be addressing a fucking mountain. I'm in waters I don't know, nor soundings I can take. To bring me the knowledge I need, my second needs to seem capable of disloyalty. :'''Silas Adams''': If that's supposed to be a compliment, thanks. :'''Al Swearengen''': Which is to say, being loyal he can forego loyalty's display. Like not searching out a friend who don't want to be found, just hoping he makes his way back, hmm? :'''Silas Adams''': How's Dan gonna take your choosing me? :'''Al Swearengen''': That's my fucking problem to deal with. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hostetler''': First off, I thank you for lookin' to the Livery. :'''Steve''': You'll talk to me through you [Bullock] or you won't get any fuckin' response. :'''Hostetler''': I'm grateful for the care you gave the animals. :'''Steve''': Now, wait until he translates from ape! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hostetler''': I was answerable to the horse that trampled his boy, camp being stirred up. If I lingered to make my arrangements, I don't think I would have lived to catch that horse. :'''Steve''': Ain't that the purest form of nigger logic. He runs! He blames the white man! And then he comes back, and he treats 'em like dirt. Hey, when I can I start working for you, you fuckin' monkey-ape! Why don't you start jumpin' up and down, and pounding your chest! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': I did not shame myself. I keep an open mind in that area. Kid yourself about your behavior, you'll never learn a fuckin' thing. I knew it was comin' too. Fuckin' Captain, holdin' me down. I knew what the fuck was next. :'''Dolly''': When he chopped off your finger? :'''Al Swearengen''': He didn't chop off my finger! Hearst chopped my fuckin' finger off; the other fuck held me down! They hold you down, y-you can't get at 'em to help yourself. Fuckin' cold in here anyway, isn't it? :'''Dolly''': You want a blanket? :'''Al Swearengen''': If I do I'll put it round me, you ain't boss of the fuckin' bedclothes! They hold you down from behind. Then you wonder why you're helpless. How the fuck could you not be? :'''Dolly''': I don't like it either. :'''Al Swearengen''': Another one that held me down, that fuckin' Proctor when I tried to get to that ship. He fuckin' held me, fuckin' wouldn't let me go. Fuckin' in my mind, y'see, she was being restrained, couldn't get back off, that had got on the boat to fuckin' New Orleans to go suck prick in Georgia. She changed her mind, and I was bein' restrained by that fat, bastard orphanage Proctor! Anyway, that's it, that's the end of it, that's the fuckin' conclusion ... CHRIST, I'D'VE WISHED TO- ''[catches himself]'' Though probably she'd'a thrown be overboard anyway, but I'd'a wished to get to that fuckin' ship. But I was bein' restrained. I couldn't get from where she'd left me. He held me to that bed, her callin' from the ship that had changed her mind. :'''Dolly''': ''[quietly]'' I don't like it either. :'''Al Swearengen''': No, huh? ...What? :'''Dolly''': When they hold you down. :'''Al Swearengen''': I guess I do that, huh, with your fuckin' hair? :'''Dolly''': No. :'''Al Swearengen''': No? ...Well, bless you for a fuckin' fibber. ===A Two-Headed Beast=== :'''Al Swearengen''': [Hearst] makes of me and Tolliver a two-headed beast to savage what might be healthy borne out of the fucking election and gnaw its own privates off-hours. Plans keep coming to the cocksucker, that their final sum is this: but for what brings income to him, break what he can; what he can't, set those parts against themselves to weaken. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny''': If it's gettin' to go wrong, Dan, you just drop flat. :'''Dan''': What the fuck did you just say? :'''Johnny''': Drop flat if it's going wrong, and I'll blow his fucking head off. :'''Dan''': You do and it'll be the last goddamn thing you do on this fucking earth. Going wrong is not the end of fucking things, Johnny. Fuck no! I have come back from plenty of shit that looked like it was going wrong. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Trixie''': The bank's founder and president, Chief Officer as well, of air-headed smugness and headlong plunges unawares into the fucking abyss. :'''Sol Star''': I don't understand. :'''Trixie''': You wouldn't. You're too fucking healthy-minded. You'll sit here waiting for me to materialize from a piece of fucking furniture and think the world is normal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny''': I wish you'd look in on Dan, boss. Not for being poorly as... down. :'''Al Swearengen''': Johnny... some shit's best walked through alone. :'''Johnny''': Dan's killed people before. You have too. But neither've been solitary after. :'''Al Swearengen''': A fair fight, something Dan and I have always struggled to avoid, is different. You see the light go out in their eyes. It's just you left, and death. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': ''[to Tolliver]'' The Sheriff recently put me on notice. He is vigilant of my possible "transgressions." :'''Bullock''': You sound drunk to me. :'''Hearst''': Whom are you addressing? :'''Bullock''': You. You sound drunk. :'''Hearst''': Do I? ''[Bullock nods]'' Hm. When I say "Go fuck yourself," Sheriff, will you put that down to drunkenness or a high estimate of your athleticism? :'''Bullock''': Did you just tell me to "Fuck myself?" :'''Hearst''': I think I did. And to shut up, or I will quiet you myself. :'''Bullock''': You're under arrest. :'''Hearst''': ''[defiantly]'' Fuck you. And shut up, or I will shut you up for good. :''[Bullock draws his gun on Hearst.]'' :'''Bullock''': For threatening a Peace Officer, I'm taking you into custody. :'''Tolliver''': Don't be stupid, Bullock... :'''Bullock''': Don't YOU be fucking stupid! :''[Bullock grabs Hearst by the ear and drags him out of the Bella Union. His rage seething, he snarls into Hearst's ear:]'' :'''Bullock''': ''Fuck... '''you!''''' ===A Rich Find=== :'''E.B. Farnham''': It's Hearst. Hearst: is he Caesar, to have fights to the death for diversion? Murder his workers at whim? Smash passages in the fucking wall? A man of less wealth would be in fucking restraints. :'''Al''': We're in the presence of the new. :'''E.B.''': Fuck the fucking new! Jesus Christ, Al. Is it over for us here? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Burns''': ''[Dan comes out to the bar groggy and starts drinking Johnny's coffee]'' You go on ahead and drink that, it's about my third damn cup. I'm Jangle-nerved already. Let me go on and get shaky-handed, pop my foot on the floor like I'm a-listen' to banjo music! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': One thing: if he knew it was coming, Bill [Hickok] was not shy of drawing first. :'''Sol''': Seth locked up Hearst instead of that. :'''Charlie Utter''': Oh, I get it. :'''Sol''': What does that mean? :'''Charlie Utter''': It means, Mr. Star, after leading him by the ear through camp for all to fucking see, Seth installs Hearst in a cell adjoining a man he's had killed, that the knife still protrudes out of his chest. And as much as me and Hearst conversed, I made him address my ass. So do let's don't pretend Hearst will feel he was treated legal or civilized, or that his business with us is finished. Hearst is fucking coming. Bringing us back to Bill and doing unto others first. Which ought maybe include a visit to Hearst's fucking diggings. And his muscle you fail to murder before they arouse? You bring to chase you to camp, Judas goat the cocksuckers, for Swearengen's men and Tolliver's to mow down from fucking ambush while we’re up seeing to Hearst. :'''Sol''': There’ll be nothing left of the camp. :'''Charlie Utter''': How much you figure will stand once Hearst had his fucking say? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': This place displeases me. I'm taking measures to bring it down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': That they're armed and awake don't have to mean they're fucking hired. :'''Dan Dority''': Yeah, and when I feel a shit coming on I'll remember to drop my pants. :'''Al Swearengen''': The obvious merits utterance. Character is fucking pertinent. :'''Dan Dority''': If I'm to go, I'd as soon get started before the darkness. :'''Al Swearengen''': Going means the darkness is upon us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth''': Charlie Utter thinks it has to come to blood. :'''Al''': Charlie Utter's likely right. :'''Seth''': And if it has to, that we should strike first. :'''Al''': Believe me, even now in the forest the blade would be between my teeth; me and you making our way stealthily forward. And as to us and him, if blood's what it finally comes to, 100 years from now the forest is what they'll find here. Dewy morning's lost its appeal for me. I prefer to wake indoors. Dan! You don’t travel tonight! Need of canned peaches, Johnny. Let's collect the camp elders. Be baffled among friends, huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steve''': ''[speaking of blacks]'' Puttin' a dead one's kidneys up his nose... however the fuck else they summon up their demons. Beat thigh bones on tin pans... shake, rattlin', and hop the fuck around! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Samuel Fields''': Ain't meanin' to be here long, ain't looking to drink. All's I'm here for, Steve, is to talk to this here gentleman. :'''Steve''': Go ahead and do somersaults or peel bananas with each other for all I give a fuck. Whole place has gone to shit anyhow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Hearst''': The nigger I appointed to dine with does not appear. ===Unauthorized Cinnamon=== :'''A.W. Merrick''': ''[reading a letter written by Sheriff Bullock]'' "It becomes my painful duty to inform you that Pasco Carwen was killed earlier this week. His body was found in the road. It was not mutilated in any way. His death seems to have been instantaneous as he was stabbed through the heart. Pasco's funeral occurred today and was attended by coworkers and friends who all shared the same high opinion of him. Everything was done by kind hands that was possible under the circumstances, and a Christian burial was given him. I was not personally acquainted with Mr. Carwen, save for one encounter where he demonstrated grief and deep compassion at the passing of a friend. I knew him by reputation as an earnest worker and a diligent believer in right and wrong. His memory I am sure will always be with those who knew and loved him, among whose number I imagine you as first. A letter from you, which I found in his tent, causes me to convey this sad intelligence to you." ''[pause]'' What shall I do with this, Mr. Bullock? :'''Al Swearengen''': What the fuck is your paper for? You publish that letter, as witness! <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Hearst''': I knocked holes in these walls. Confinement gives me the fidgets. :'''Odell''': Set yourself up comfortable. :'''George Hearst''': Let me confide as well, Odell, that when people only say to me with other words what I have just said to them, I quickly grow impatient. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Hearst''': Gold is every man's opportunity. Why do I make that argument? Because every defect in a man and in others a way of taking him. Our agreement that gold has value gives us power to rise above. :'''Odell''': Fond as you are of my mother, without that gold I showed you, I don't expect we'd be out here talking. :'''George Hearst''': That is correct. And for your effrontery at our meal a moment ago, I'd have seen you shot or hanged without second thought. The value I gave the gold restrained me, you see? Your utility in connection to it. And because of my gold those at the other tables deferred to my restraint. Gold confers power. Power comes to any man who has the color. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blazanov''': ''[reading a telegram for Hearst about an order for 25 "bricks"]'' Do you believe, Mr. Swearengen, Mr. Hearst orders more bricks? :'''Al Swearengen''': No. What do ''you'' believe? :'''Blazanov''': I believe he orders more ''humans'' -- :'''A.W. Merrick''': Reinforcements. :'''Blazanov''': ''[angrily thumps the table]'' To do ''harm''! ''[gestures to Merrick]'' As we saw on our walk! Leave to die in a country strange to them, men apart from their families, working to give them support! ''Fuck'' confidentiality of communications! :'''Al Swearengen''': Why not fuck a woman instead? :'''Blazanov''': I hope so, eventually. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': I hate these places, Odell, because the truth that I know, the promise that I bring, the necessities I'm prepared to accept make me outcast. Isn't that foolish? Isn't that foolishness? An old man disabused long ago of certain yearnings and hopes as to how he would be held by his fellows, and yet I weep. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[to Doc, revealed to be suffering from tuberculosis]'' Jesus Christ! The fucking gimp finds something useful to do in the fucking brace you made her. Do you think you could treat "Being Johnny"—always struggling to fashion a fuckin' thought? Every fucking night, I, that could cut a throat and sleep the sleep of the just, spend six fucking wakings trying to fill a piss-pot with my dribble and wondering when I got to be so old. ''[throws swatches down to Doc]'' Pick a fucking swatch for a spit rag, use the others for masks, and go about your fucking business. I ain't learning a new doc's quirks! ===Leviathan Smiles=== :'''George Hearst''': I'm to take you for majestically neutral? :'''Merrick''': I'd make the less exalted claim, as a journalist, of keeping my opinions to myself. :'''George Hearst''': You are less majestically neutral than cloaking your cowardice in principle? :'''Merrick''': I can only answer perhaps, Mr. Hearst, events have not yet disclosed to me all that I am. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaughnessy''': I'll not have vile affections, or uncleaness, on these premises. Find my specific meaning at Romans 1:24-6. :'''Calamity Jane''': ''[drawing over Shaughnessy's biblical quote placard]'' Fuck yourself, with a fist-punch up your ass, today at the present moment! ''[punches Shaughnessy in the gut]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Samuel Fields''': Cause I’m a nigger, Doc, that don’t care what stands or falls. :'''Doc Cochran:''' Hostetler was too. :'''Samuel Fields:''' Hostetler was taller than me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny''': You say it weren't an ass fuck, I believe you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Seth Bullock''': I've had a wire... says your statement is true, far as having worked as a lawman. Not asking why you put the work aside, I'll say only some that do find themselves ready and uniquely able to work the other side of the street. Some do that. I took the badge off myself once, without losing my impulse to beat on certain types. :'''Wyatt Earp''': Though, that seems never to go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cy Tolliver''': ''[on seeing a gang of Pinkertons ride into camp]'' Take them amateurs off the fucking sugar tit. Mr. Hearst brought the pros to town. ===Amateur Night=== :'''Hearst''': You will not mistake the newspaper man: he looks like a... big turtle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Silas Adams''': Horsemen come to camp by torchlight last night. :'''Cy Tolliver''': Tell Al as we didn't wake to the apocalypse, I suppose all we need fear is their Winchesters. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Morgan''': They have their fuckin' fun with you, and in the morning, they treat you like dirt. :'''Wyatt''': ''[chuckles]'' And you a fucking virgin... :'''Morgan''': No, and not pretending to be. :'''Wyatt''': ...to be wounded by her callous ways. :'''Morgan''': All I’m saying is she could have been nicer, and those steerers more fuckin' polite. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugo Jarry''': Washington harasses us for our difficulties in distribution to the Indians, thereby distracting the nation at large from Washington's own fiscal turpitudes and miasms. :'''Silas''': There amongst the turpitudes and miasms, you got caught stealing the money. :'''Hugo Jarry''': The money was not stolen. There was an amount of siphoning off and certain irregularities. :'''Silas''': Sounds like it was regular as milking Bessie, 96¢ on the dollar. :'''Hugo Jarry''': Rank exaggeration. :'''Silas''': If it was less than 90, you fucked generations of Indian agents to come. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jane''': Get out of my fucking light. :'''Mose''': It's me. :'''Jane''': Who is me? The fucking eclipse? :'''Mose''': Mose Manuel. :'''Jane''': Oh, really? I thought it—it was Giganto, the runaway circus elephant. :'''Mose''': Miss Stubbs has been looking for you. Those kids need chaperoning to the new schoolhouse, Jane. ''[Jane turns away and puts her hands to her ears, shutting her eyes.]'' Get up and walk them kids. :'''Jane''': Okay, Giganto! Don’t tusk me to death with your tusks. ''[steadies herself, sheathing her gun]'' How long do I have to assemble myself? :'''Mose''': They'll be ready to go in a few minutes. :'''Jane''': Shut up. ===A Constant Throb=== :'''George Hearst''': Elections cannot inconvenience me. They ratify my will or I neuter them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugo Jarry''': Perhaps then, rather, at this moment—having had in fact no connection to the regrettable incident involving Mrs. Ellsworth—you are Socrates to my Alcibiades, taking it upon yourself to edify me? :'''George Hearst''': Are you saying you want to fuck me? :'''Hugo Jarry''': ''[confused]'' What? :'''George Hearst''': Well, you keep calling yourself Alcibiades to my Socrates. Are you proposing some sort of a homosexual connection between us? :'''Hugo Jarry''': I'd forgot that part of the story. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Tell E.B. nothing. :'''Richardson''': I'll just keep quiet. :'''Al Swearengen''': No. Tell E.B. nothing's going on and then tell him, "If I wanted to tell you anything, I'd have told you. Don't send the imbecile over with no more notes." :'''Richardson''': I can't remember all that. :'''Al Swearengen''': Can you remember "Nothing's going on"? :'''Richardson''': Yes. :'''Al Swearengen''': Tell him that, then. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Hearst''': Have you smelt human flesh on the spit? :'''E.B.''': How would I have? :'''George Hearst''': I know the smell. :'''E.B.''': You have been to and fro in the world. :'''George Hearst''': It pleased me to find out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': How well do you know the other guy? :'''Pinkerton''': Who would that be? :'''Al Swearengen''': That my man Dority killed. The Captain. :'''Pinkerton''': We served in the 69th in New York. :'''Al Swearengen''': Was that a mick regiment? :'''Pinkerton''': Yeah. What were you doing? :'''Al Swearengen''': Cutting throats. :'''Pinkerton''': I was asking whose flag you were under. :'''Al Swearengen''': The famous cocksuckers brigade. :'''Pinkerton''': Is that so? :'''Al Swearengen''': Command of the all-whore detachment. Distress you, when my man downed your friend? :'''Pinkerton''': Let me tell you something, Mr. Swearengen. You don't scare me, and you don't fucking know what happened with the 69th New York. I will tell you this: I didn't like what happened to Joe Turner. Mr. Hearst came to him and said, "Make it last, even if you gain the upper hand and can kill him." And I think that was halfway selfish of Mr. Hearst, whereas Joe could have killed your man and didn't, and look how it wound up. But that's as much as I feel like saying, and that's neither here nor fucking there. ===The Catbird Seat=== :'''Al Swearengen''': Knowing him for an errant maniac, I'll still not believe Bullock doubts me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[reading a telegram from Hawkeye]'' "23 men hired, all on our way." This squaw-fuckin' idiot. Proves in eight words he's incompetent and a fuckin' liar. He can't have got Adams' telegram more than four hours ago, yet he expects me to believe that in four hours he can prudently assess the qualities of 23 hires. And you know what "on our way" means, huh? :'''Blazanov''': No. :'''Al Swearengen''': "On our way" means they’re getting drunk and blown in some saloon in Cheyenne and running their mouths about the big fuckin' filibustering expedition they're being commissioned for under the command of the famous Hawkeye, the laziest, most shit-faced whore-mongering cocksucker to ever piss my money away! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack Langrishe''': The man I once was, Al, was not formidable, and I am but his shadow now. And yet I'd be put to use. A decoy, perhaps. A weight to drop on villains from above. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': I oughtn't to work in these places. I was not born to crush my own kind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[to his whores, pointing at a sleeping man]'' Rouse him to spend on pussy, or rob the son of a bitch. ===Tell Him Something Pretty=== :'''Adams''': When he ain't lyin', Al's the most honorable man you'll ever meet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hearst''': Have the gold seen to [Alma's] bank, Newman. Have its purity assayed. Let her or her seconds choose the man. When that tedium is completed, have the documents witnessed as though we were all of us Jews. And bring the business back to me. ''[turns to leave]'' Excuse my absence, Mr. Star, as I hope you'll forgive my thoughtless aspersion on your race. ''[Sol nods.]'' You stand for local office, but some contests being countywide, I await wires from the other camps. ''[holds the door open and Alma turns to leave. Hearst sniffs as she passes by.]'' You've changed your scent. :'''Seth Bullock''': Can't shut up! Every bully I ever met can't shut his fuckin' mouth... except when he's afraid. :'''Hearst''': You mistake for fear, Mr. Bullock, what is in fact preoccupation. I'm having a conversation you cannot hear. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rutherford''': Right to vote shall not be abridged or denied... ''[drinks]'' ...on account of race or color or condition of previous servitude. 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified 1870, law of the land thereafter, including territories. :'''A Pinkerton''': They got something about niggers not waiting their turn? :'''Rutherford''': Not that I'm aware of. :'''A Pinkerton''': Oh, you ain't aware of it? Then I guess you'll want this white man voting first? :'''Fields''': What's a few minutes more? :'''Charlie Utter''': The nigger was before him. :'''A Pinkerton''': No he wasn't. :'''Charlie Utter''': I guess you're blind and stupid. :'''Fields''': I believe I'll vote later. :'''Charlie Utter''': Fuck if you will. Get your nigger ass back in line. :'''A Pinkerton''': ''[to Fields]'' You'd better be walking him home afterwards. ''[pulls on his collar and gags]'' :'''Charlie Utter''': You'd better see to that yourself, 'cause if he don't make it, you'll be eating your spuds runnin' till I hunt you the fuck down. :'''Rutherford''': ''[patting Fields on the shoulder]'' And that settles that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[talking to the Indian head in the box]'' This fuckin' place is gonna be a fuckin' misery. Every fuckin' one of them, every fuckin' time I walk by, "Ooh, how could you? How could you?" With their big fuckin' cow eyes. The entire fuckin' gaggle of 'em is gonna have to bleed and quit before we can even hope for peace. What's the fuckin' alternative? I ain't fuckin' killing her that sat nights with me sick and takin' slaps to her mug that were some less than fuckin' fair. I should have fuckin' learned to use a gun, but I'm too fuckin' entrenched in my ways. And you ain't exactly the one to be levelin' criticisms on the score of being slow to adapt. You fuckin' people are the original slow fuckin' learners! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie Utter''': You done fuckin' good. :'''Seth Bullock''': I did fuckin' nothin'. :'''Charlie Utter''': That's often the tough one, in aid of the larger purpose. :'''Seth Bullock''': Which is layin' head to pillow and not confusin' yourself with a sucker? :'''Charlie Utter''': Far as I ever get. :'''Seth Bullock''': 'Cause that's gonna be a project tonight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Burns''': ''[referring to Jen, who was murdered in place of Trixie]'' Did she suffer? :'''Al Swearengen''': I was gentle as I was able, and that's the last we'll fuckin' speak of it. ''[Johnny wanders off.]'' Wants me to tell him somethin' pretty. ==''[[w:Deadwood: The Movie|Deadwood: The Movie]]''== :'''Calamity Jane''': Ten years gone, approaching that self-same hill I thought to lay me down and rise no more. Gimme wide berth, that's just passed wind! Possibly worse. Before eyes close for good and all I'd once again see my Joanie Stubbs, show her a sign of...loving regret from Calamity Jane to her darling. And too at the grave of Wild Bill. ''[Jane pauses to take the last swig of liquor from a bottle before tossing it aside and beginning to ride off.]'' Left-cheek ass blister is a percolatin' son of a bitch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alma Ellsworth''': ''[as Trixie screams profanely at George Hearst from her balcony]'' Trixie hasn't lost her gift. :'''Charlie Utter''': She ain't for a fact. Time can't touch that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Hearst''': These placer acres that you own, Mr. Utter, captured my attention. :'''Charlie Utter''': Scouts you sent previous made that clear. :'''George Hearst''': People whose judgment I respect assay this property's market value at $3,500. :'''Charlie Utter''': Seems I'm the lone holdout on the path of progress. ''[Charlie motions to other side of stream where men are erecting telephone poles.]'' :'''George Hearst''': By way of abbreviating our back and forth and, and maybe generating some good will, I'd go five hundred above. Offer you $4,000 even, cash money. :'''Charlie Utter''': My father taught his boy, uh, "beat hell into him" might maybe be more accurate... ''[both men chuckle]'' how if, uh, early enough on, you credited the settlements was coming, bought acreage reasonable, developed 'em sensible, hung onto 'em until the market come right, of a day you might could wake up and find you made yourself a respectable investment. :'''George Hearst''': Forward-thinking was your father then. And now, here's his boy to confirm his papa's prediction. :'''Charlie Utter''': Contrary-wise, man might could come to certain special feelings. Partial, say, to a piece of ground. A river bending through the forest like so. ''[Charlie motions downstream where both men see Samuel Fields fishing.]'' I decline your offer, Mr. Hearst, thanking you for your time and attention. ''[takes swig from flask]'' :'''George Hearst''': My experience over time has come to be: Customarily, I am he who starts a negotiation. Names its finish, too. :'''Charlie Utter''': Maybe getting mother-fucked this morning in the thoroughfare, by a woman in the bargain, has somewhat got your back up. Not the accolade you'd looked for out your return to fuckin' camp. :'''George Hearst''': Proffering that assessment, sir, is hardly your proper bailiwick. :'''Charlie Utter''': Far as that, I went and proffered it any fuckin' way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Ah... produce George Hearst Esquire, colossus of commerce, junior senator from California, who since our paths last crossed has went from strength to stronger strength still. :'''George Hearst''': Even as you name me, a figure to be reckoned with in this camp, Mr. Swearengen, I have been made this morning, more than somewhat, to look an incompetent. :'''Al Swearengen''': An incompetent? Now, how would that ever be? :'''George Hearst''': These years now past, I'd have you recall my having been attacked. Shot, and near as not, done in by a whore, whose name, if I ever knew it, has now been lost to me. :'''Al Swearengen''': I dimly recall the matter. The nameless whore embarked on a program of vengeance, and, by God, she nearly brought off. :'''George Hearst''': Referring to her attempt to murder me. :'''Al Swearengen''': Not to pretty the picture. :'''George Hearst''': I have lived believing the matter had been settled. And I was satisfied in that belief. But now, I realize I was tricked. The whore you presented in the box was not the shooter at all. :'''Al Swearengen''': Ah, you're going for the long, larger minded view... Senator. :'''George Hearst''': Which depends on running telephone lines across the claims. On recognizing common ground, bringing the future to it. A brief illustration of my point... :'''Al Swearengen''': ''[Cutting off Hearst]'' Does brevity exist in your repertoire, sir? :'''George Hearst''': I am making an offer on Charlie Utter's land. Lumber for construction arrived this morning. :'''Al Swearengen''': Confident, are we? :'''George Hearst''': Back my bid to buy Utter's land. Use your position in the town to sway others and I will drop any counteraction against the whore... The pregnant whore. :'''Al Swearengen''': Uncharacteristically straightforward, sir. :'''George Hearst''': Discover your deepest nature, Mr. Swearengen. Walk with the future. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': You ever think, Bullock, of not going straight at a thing? :'''Seth Bullock''': ''[beat]'' No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': Well, if it ain't for Hearst to follow the law, why the fuck should it be for you? ...now, how should I construe that look on your mug, Bullock? :'''Seth Bullock''': My job ain't to follow the law, Al. My job is to interpret it, then enforce it accordingly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Hearst''': I'm coming for you, Marshal. :'''Seth Bullock''': I expect you will, Senator. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': We're all of us haunted by our own fucking thoughts. So make friends with the ghost, it ain't going fuckin' anywhere. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Swearengen''': No, not being either to say you have to run women. I strongly endorse that. <hr width="50%"/> :''[last lines]'' :'''Trixie''': Our Father, which art in Heaven... :'''Al Swearengen''': Let Him...fucking...stay there. == Cast == * [[w:Timothy Olyphant|Timothy Olyphant]] - [[w:Seth Bullock|Seth Bullock]] * [[w:Ian McShane|Ian McShane]] - [[w:Al Swearengen|Al Swearengen]] * [[w:Molly Parker|Molly Parker]] - Alma Garret * [[w:Jim Beaver|Jim Beaver]] - Whitney Ellsworth * [[w:W.

There's no pictures! :'''Belle''': Well, some people use their imagination. :'''Gaston''': ''[tosses the book aside]'' Belle, it's about time you got your head outta those books and paid attention to more important things. Like me. :''[the Bimbettes sigh at him]'' :'''Gaston''': The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking,... :'''Belle''': Gaston, you are positively primeval. :'''Gaston''': Why, thank you, Belle. :''[Belle raises her eyebrows in surprise]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gaston''': Not yet! :'''Lefou''': Sorry! <hr width="50%"/> :''[angry, now that he found out Belle refuses to join him for dinner]'' : '''Beast''': '''''WHAT!!!!!!!?''''' :''[Door bangs open and Beast comes running out, with Cogsworth, Lumière and Mrs. Potts giving chase]'' :'''Cogsworth''': Your grace! Your eminence! Let's not be hasty!? :''[Cut to exterior of Belle's room. Beast runs up to it and bangs on the door.]'' :'''Beast''': ''[Yelling]'' I thought I told you to come down to dinner! :'''Belle''': ''[From behind the door]'' I'm not hungry. :'''Beast''': You'll come out or I'll...I'll break down the door! :'''Lumière''': ''[interrupting]'' Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the girl's affections. :'''Cogsworth''': ''[pleading]'' Please! Attempt to be a gentleman. :'''Beast''': ''[growing angrier]'' But she is being so...'''''difficult!''''' :'''Mrs. Potts''': Gently, gently. :'''Beast''': ''[very dejected]'' Will you come down to dinner? :'''Belle''': No! :''[Beast looks at them, very frustrated.]'' :'''Cogsworth''': Suave. Genteel. :'''Beast''': ''[Trying to act formal, bowing at the door]'' It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner. :'''Cogsworth''': Ahem, ahem, we say 'please.' :'''Beast''': ''[once again dejected]'' ...please. :'''Belle''': ''[Mad at Beast]'' No, thank you. :'''Beast''': ''[furious]'' You can't stay in there forever! :'''Belle''': ''[provokingly]'' Yes I can! :'''Beast''': '''''Fine! Then go ahead and STARVE!!!!''''' ''(To Cogsworth, Lumière and Mrs. Potts)'' If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all. :''[Beast runs back down the hall, slamming a door and causing a piece of the ceiling to fall on Lumiere.]'' :'''Mrs. Potts''': Oh, dear. That didn't go very well at all, did it. :'''Cogsworth''': Lumiere, stand watch at the door and inform me at ''once'' if there is the slightest change. :'''Lumiere''': ''[Taking guard position next to door]'' You can count on me, mon captain. :'''Cogsworth''': Well, I guess we better go downstairs and start cleaning up. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Into the Beast's lair. Beast enters, knocking over and destroying things in his path.]'' :'''Beast''': I ask nicely, but she refuses. What a...what does she want me to do--beg?! ''(Picking up the Magic Mirror)'' Show me the girl. :''[The Magic Mirror shines, then glows green and reveals Belle in her bedroom, talking to the Wardrobe]'' :'''Wardrobe''': ''[in mirror pleading]'' Why the master's not so bad once you get to know him. Why don't you give him a chance? :'''Belle''': ''[still disturbed by the attack]'' I don't want to get to know him. I don't want to have anything to do with him! :'''Beast''': ''[setting down Magic Mirror, speaking tenderly]'' I'm just fooling myself. She'll never see me as anything...but a monster. ''(Another petal falls off the rose.)'' It's hopeless. :''[Beast puts his head in his hands as in depressed state.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Beast catches Belle in the West Wing]'' :'''Beast''': Why did you come here? :'''Belle''': I'm sorry. :'''Beast''': I warned you never to ''come here!'' :'''Belle''': I didn't mean any harm. :'''Beast''': ''[now completely furious]'' Do you realize what you could have done?! ''[smashes a table out of anger]'' :'''Belle''': Please... Stop! No! :'''Beast''': ''[loudly]'' Get out! ''[smashes more objects as Belle runs out]'' GET OUT! ''[finally calming down, he looks dismayed at his own behavior]'' :''[Belle immediately grabs her cloak, puts it on, and runs out of the castle; with Cogsworth and Lumiere close behind]'' :'''Lumiere''': Where are you going? :'''Belle''': Promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute. :'''Cogsworth''': Oh no, wait! Please! Please, wait! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Belle nurses the Beast's wounds in the den after the fight with the wolves; she dips a rag into a small dish of hot water poured by Mrs. Potts]'' :'''Belle''': Here now. ''[the Beast is licking his wounds]'' Don't do that. ''[trying to clean his wounds with the rag]'' Just hold still. :''[she applies the rag to the wound, but the Beast jumps back and roars in pain; the objects, who are close by, hide in fear]'' :'''Beast''': That hurts! :'''Belle''': If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much! :'''Beast''': If you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened. :'''Belle''': If you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away! :'''Beast''': Well, ''you'' shouldn't have been in the West Wing! :'''Belle''': Well, ''you'' should learn to control your ''temper''. ''[the Beast tries to counterpoint, but can't think of anything good; so he bows his head annoyed; the objects re-emerge]'' Now, hold still. This might sting a little. ''[applies the rag to the wound; though the Beast winces, he doesn't pull back this time]'' By the way, thank you for saving my life. :'''Beast''': You're welcome. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gaston meets with Monsieur D'Arque, the owner of the insane asylum to at his tavern]'' :'''Monsieur D'Arque''': I don't usually leave the asylum in the middle of the night, but he said you'd make it worth my while. ''[Gaston presents him with a bag of money]'' Ah, I'm listening. :'''Gaston''': It's like this: I've got my heart set on marrying Belle. But she needs a little... persuasion. :'''Lefou''': ''[chuckles]'' Turned him down flat! ''[Gaston hits him]'' :'''Gaston''': Everyone knows her father's a lunatic! He was in here tonight, raving about a "Beast" in a "Castle"! :'''Monsieur D'Arque''': Maurice is harmless. :'''Gaston''': The point is, Belle would do ''anything'' to keep him from being locked up. :'''Lefou''': Yeah, even marry ''him''! ''[points at Gaston; ducks when Gaston tries to hit him again]'' :'''Monsieur D'Arque''': So you want me to throw her father into the asylum unless she agrees to marry you? ''[Lefou nods eagerly]'' Oh, that is despicable. ''[chuckling evilly]'' I love it! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Belle has rejected Gaston for the umpteenth time; cut to interior of tavern]'' :'''Gaston''': Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man. No one says 'no' to Gaston! :'''Lefou''': Darn right! :'''Gaston''': Dismissed. Rejected. Publicly humiliated.

We had sort of a back-up plan just in case, if none of this works we'll just turn off all the lights and Bella and the Beast will be dancing in a little spotlight in a darkened room like an ice skating show (laughs). Fortunately, when we got the first piece of test film back, it was amazingly breathtaking, made a big sigh of relief because we knew it was going to work. * We actually designed all the camera movement first and animated the characters to match that. * We created computer generated stand-ins, the ballroom was sort of a chicken-wire kind of thing and Bella & the Beast were represented by these box and egg sort of things. * You have to make all the same decisions that a live action director would have to make. Everything from where to put the camera to what the emotional tone of the scene is going to be, in addition to answering all the questions about costume design and weather and color and all the numerous elements that go into making the scene. We're there every step of the way from the very first crude character designs and early storyboards to how loud the footsteps of the Beast should be as he's walking across the marble floor.

There's no pictures! :'''Belle''': Well, some people use their imagination. :'''Gaston''': ''[tosses the book aside]'' Belle, it's about time you got your head outta those books and paid attention to more important things. Like me. :''[the Bimbettes sigh at him]'' :'''Gaston''': The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking,... :'''Belle''': Gaston, you are positively primeval. :'''Gaston''': Why, thank you, Belle. :''[Belle raises her eyebrows in surprise]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gaston''': Not yet! :'''Lefou''': Sorry! <hr width="50%"/> :''[angry, now that he found out Belle refuses to join him for dinner]'' : '''Beast''': '''''WHAT!!!!!!!?''''' :''[Door bangs open and Beast comes running out, with Cogsworth, Lumière and Mrs. Potts giving chase]'' :'''Cogsworth''': Your grace!

Attempt to be a gentleman. :'''Beast''': ''[growing angrier]'' But she is being so...'''''difficult!''''' :'''Mrs. Potts''': Gently, gently. :'''Beast''': ''[very dejected]'' Will you come down to dinner? :'''Belle''': No! :''[Beast looks at them, very frustrated.]'' :'''Cogsworth''': Suave. Genteel. :'''Beast''': ''[Trying to act formal, bowing at the door]'' It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner. :'''Cogsworth''': Ahem, ahem, we say 'please.' :'''Beast''': ''[once again dejected]'' ...please. :'''Belle''': ''[Mad at Beast]'' No, thank you. :'''Beast''': ''[furious]'' You can't stay in there forever! :'''Belle''': ''[provokingly]'' Yes I can! :'''Beast''': '''''Fine!

I don't want to have anything to do with him! :'''Beast''': ''[setting down Magic Mirror, speaking tenderly]'' I'm just fooling myself. She'll never see me as anything...but a monster.

Just 'cause it seemed like if I didn't, I would die, or something. ...Things were getting to me. Just how people are -- how they always expect you to be a certain way. Even your best friend. ...Like, with boys, like they have it so easy. Like you have to pretend you don't notice them noticing you. ...Like cheerleaders. Can't people just cheer on their own? Like to themselves? ...School is a battlefield for your heart. So when Rayanne Graff told me my hair was holding me back, I had to listen. 'Cause she wasn't just talking about my hair. She was talking about my life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' My dad and I used to be pretty tight. The sad truth is, my breasts have come between us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': You want to have sex with him. :'''Angela''': Who? :'''Rayanne''': Who? Jordan! Catalano? Come on, I'm not going to tell anyone, just admit it. :'''Angela''': I just like how he's always leaning. Against stuff. He leans great. Either sex or a conversation -- ideally both. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' My parents keep asking how school was. It's like saying, "How was that drive-by shooting?" You don't care how it was, you're lucky to get out alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rickie''': If you were about to do it, okay, what would you want the other person to say, like, right before? :'''Rayanne''': This won't take long. :'''Rickie''': No, seriously. :'''Rayanne''': Do I know you? :'''Rickie''': No, like, for real. Like, romantic. :'''Angela''': You're so beautiful, it hurts to look at you. :'''Rayanne''': It hurts to look at you? :'''Rickie''': How'd you think of that? :'''Rayanne''': Where would it hurt? :'''Rickie''': I really like that. === ''Dancing in the Dark'' [1.2] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' I've been kissed 3 times. No, 4 times. No, 3 times. All of them were people I never saw again. Which I hope doesn't like, ''mean'' something. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': ''[After Angela has been talking loudly as Jordan walked by]'' Angela, he's gone. You can talk like a normal person. :'''Angela''': Oh, God. :'''Rayanne''': You have got to progress to the next phase of this. I mean, think of Rickie and me. How much more can we take? :'''Angela''': I just don't want to look like I'm throwing myself at him. :'''Rayanne''': Excuse me. People throwing themselves at people? Is, like, the basis of civilization. :'''Rickie''': She has a point. :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' If Jordan Catalano is, like, nearby, my entire body knows it. Like one of those dogs that point? I'll keep talking and stuff, but my mind won't even know what I'm saying. I keep wondering if there's like, a term for this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I'm not saying...see, there's thinking about him, right? Which is what I do, all the time, like, like this ... :'''Rickie''': Obsession. :'''Rayanne''': Right, so? :'''Angela''': So, it keeps me going, or something, like I need it, just to get through the day. It -- it's just ... :'''Rickie''': It's an obsession. :'''Angela''': Right. And if you make it real, it, it's not the same. It's not...it's not yours anymore. I don't know -- maybe I'd rather have the fantasy, than even him. :'''Rickie''': I completely understand this. :'''Rayanne''': I totally and completely disagree. You want Jordan Catalano, in actuality, because...there is no 'because'! You just want him! Only you're programmed to never admit it. :'''Rickie''': That does have the ring of truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover, regarding Jordan]'' We both stopped talking. Part of his sleeve was touching my arm. I don't know if he knew. Then everything started to seem perfect for some reason. The feel of his shirt against my elbow, the fact that I still had an elbow. It was the perfect moment for him to kiss me, for him to anything me. :'''Jordan''': ''[leans closer, then opens her car door]'' Well, I gotta go, so... Later. :''[Angela gets out]'' :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' I could have killed him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Dad, I don't feel like talking. No offense. :'''Graham''': Oh, I don't feel like talking. Certainly not to ''you''. You want me to warm up that spaghetti? :''[Angela hands it over]'' :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' I have to say, when my father warms something up, it tastes better than when anyone else does. :'''Graham''': So how did your experiment go? with Brian? :'''Angela''': He did most of it. :'''Graham''': So was this like, a date? :'''Angela''': Dad! It's...they're not...people just hang out. They're not -- it's not dates. There's people. Together. In a bunch. :'''Graham''': So was there someone else there...you like? :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' It's so strange how parents can, out of nowhere, turn psychic. It's unnerving. :'''Graham''': It's okay to like someone. But, I mean, boys your age can sometimes -- :'''Angela''': Dad, I know. ''[pause]'' Can sometimes' what? :'''Graham''': Can sometimes not know how to be what you want them to be. My point is that...it's really...hard to figure out how to be a man. Practically every man I know is still working on it. === ''Guns and Gossip'' [1.3] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Grown-ups like to tell you where they were when President Kennedy was shot, which they all know to the exact second. Which makes me almost jealous -- like I should have something important enough to know where I was when it happened. But I don't, yet. And the fact that it was a better time then, and people knew what they were supposed to do and how to make the world better...now nobody knows anything. We know who's popular, or that Social Studies is boring, or that Brian always has stomach trouble -- but nobody knows anything important. Instead of changing the world, people sit in class and write notes about other people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': I'm Patty Chase. :'''Amber''': Hi. :'''Patty''': Angela's mom? :'''Amber''': Oh, WOW. Angela! Oh, Rayanne talks about her all the time. She's in love with her! She wants to ''be'' Angela. :'''Patty''': Really! Gosh, they seem so different. :'''Amber''': Oh, you know kids. They find one person and they just can't get enough of them! It's like being in love, only they're not allowed to have sex. :'''Patty''': Riiiight. :'''Amber''': No, don't you remember? There'd be, like, this one person, who had, like, perfect hair, or perfect breasts, or they were just so funny, and you just wanted to eat them up -- just live in their bed, and just be them. It's like everybody else was in black and white, and that person was in color. Well, Rayanne thinks Angela is in color. Major color. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' When I was twelve, my mother gave me my sex talk. I'm not sure either of us has fully recovered. :'''Patty''': Now that you and Jordan are um... :'''Angela''': Oh, my God. Mom, please... :'''Patty''': Angela, I can accept that you have a boyfriend. :'''Angela''': I don't have a boyfriend! :'''Patty''': Fine. A pal. A male pal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' It's such a lie that you should do what's in your heart. If we all did what was in our hearts, the world would grind to a halt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' It's amazing the things you notice, like the corner of his collar that was coming undone. Like, he was from a poor family and couldn't afford new shirts. That's all I could see. The whole world was that unraveled piece of fabric. === ''Father Figures'' [1.4] === :'''Rayanne''': Do you ever get, like, hypnotized by food? :'''Graham''': Hypnotized By Food could be my Indian name. ''[to Angela]'' Do you want to flip one? :'''Angela''': Rayanne can do it. :'''Rayanne''': I can't believe I'm cooking something, like, not in the pouch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' When you're not sure you trust a person anymore -- say, a person you really trusted; say your father -- you start wishing they'd do something, like, really wrong, just so you could be right about them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': So, not to shock you, but your dad's attractive. :'''Angela''': Oh, I'm sure! :'''Rayanne''': Not that I'd attack him, or anything, but I wouldn't leave me alone with him, either. It's not just physical. He's...nice. You just have a really nice dad. He's really nice. :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' When someone compliments your parents, there's, like, nothing to say. It's like a stun gun to your brain. :'''Rickie''': Plus, his stubble is the perfect length. :'''Angela''': He doesn't have stubble! He ran out of disposable razors that morning; he was all disturbed about it. :'''Rayanne''': Oh! In-touch-with-his-emotions Dad! :'''Angela''': ''[laughing]'' Shut up! :'''Rayanne''': Ignore Angela! She can't help herself -- she's the product of a two-parent household! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' You know how sometimes the last sentence you said, like, echoes in your brain, and it just keeps sounding stupider? And you have to say something else just to make it stop? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': Angela, wait. Did you ever think that I could actually be doing something that does not involve you? I mean, that I may not just be sitting around in case you decide like that moment that you need my car? :'''Angela''': So what were you doing? :'''Brian''': Nothing! Do you want my sweater? :'''Angela''': OK. :'''Brian''': Just, try not to sweat into it. :'''Angela''': Why do you have to say things like that?! === ''The Zit'' [1.5] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' The worst feeling is suddenly realizing that you don't measure up, and that, in the past, when you thought you did, you were a fool. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' It had become the focus of everything. It was all I could feel, all I could think about. It blotted out the rest of my face, the rest of my life. Like the zit had become...the truth about me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': I would think that you would welcome the opportunity to dress up, to look your best. :'''Angela''': Who am I looking my best for? :'''Patty''': For you! Of course this is for you! I mean, I don't... :'''Angela''': Mom, just face the facts, okay? :'''Patty''': What facts, what? :'''Angela''': That I'm ugly, okay? Just face it -- I have. :'''Patty''': How can you say that-- how can you possibly -- :'''Angela''': By looking in the mirror, okay? By looking at you, with the way you look at me. :'''Patty''': How do I look at you? :'''Angela''': By the way you instruct me on how to wash my face so I don't get zits. Like you have to fix me, like you're ashamed of me. :'''Patty''': Oh, no -- Angela, sweetheart, no! :'''Angela''': You expect me to beautiful, because you're beautiful. Well, I'm sorry -- I'm not. I'm just not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sharon''': Why do girls have to tear each other down? :'''Angela''': I guess 'cause they're jealous. I mean, I was. Of you. For having what you have. :'''Sharon''': Do you know how many times this week I wished I had what you had? :'''Angela''': But I don't have anything! :'''Sharon''': Exactly. :'''Angela''': Well, this really makes sense. :'''Sharon''': I guess it just all boils down to what they used to drill into us at Girl Scouts. :'''Angela''': What, sell more cookies? :'''Sharon''': No! No, you know -- um...'What you are is' -- no, wait: 'What your gift is --' :'''Angela''': Oh! No: 'What you have is God's gift to you, and what you do with what you have is your gift to God.' <hr width=50%/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison, and the crime is how much we hate ourselves. It's good to get really dressed up once in a while, and admit the truth -- that when you really look closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually...beautiful. Possibly even me. === ''The Substitute'' [1.6] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Maybe teachers have a hidden life. Where they’re actually... like, human. Where they have, I don’t know... dignity. Or maybe not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Student''': So why are you here? You the new substitute? :'''Mr. Racine''': Why am I here? Yeah, good question. I'm the new substitute, yes. I'm here quite simply to get paid. Assuming all of you can read and write, I don't perceive any emergency situation. That's all. Continue wasting your lives. ''[he pulls a folded newspaper out of his knapsack]'' :'''Sharon''': So, um...are we like, dismissed? :'''Mr. Racine''': Do you want to be dismissed? :'''Sharon''': No, you just said that...you just said that was all you had to say, so... :'''Mr. Racine''': I will be here for the next forty-seven minutes. Whether you will also be here for that time is, to be candid, your decision. :'''Jordan''': What's the catch? :'''Mr. Racine''': No catch. If you don't want to be here, go. I'm not gonna stop you. ''[Jordan immediately climbs out of his desk and heads for the door]'' Well, you know, there is just, you know, one catch. We will be discussing you in your absence, but you know, if you don't mind that... :'''Jordan''': Yeah, right. :'''Mr. Racine''': Oh, it's no joke. I have no lesson planned. Trashing you in your absence will help, uh, pass the time. Right? It could, uh, possibly be educational as well. :'''Angela''': So what are we supposed to do? :''[Jordan returns to his seat]'' :'''Mr. Racine''': Ah, I've known you all of five minutes and you want me to tell you what you're supposed to do? Fine. Follow your hearts and veer away from heroin. :'''Angela''': ''[laughs]'' No, I meant in the next forty-seven minutes. :'''Mr. Racine''': I know what you meant, that was sarcasm. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Racine''': Write it down. Whatever you feel like saying write it down instead. What you never told anyone. What you never even told yourself. And don't fear exposure. No one is to put his or her name down. This will be completely anonymous. :'''Rayanne''': ''[whispering to Angela]'' Just how I like sex. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': My husband and I read the stuff that the kids wrote -- :'''Mr. Racine''': Hope it didn't give him a heart attack. He seemed a bit fragile. :'''Patty''': Actually, it isn't my husband who had the problem. :''[Mr. Racine smiles]'' :'''Patty''': I just think...there's this one piece in particular that I just don't feel comfortable printing. :'''Mr. Racine''': Oh! You're afraid that Angela wrote it. :'''Patty''': This has nothing to do with whether Angela wrote it. :'''Mr. Racine''': So, this is just censorship for censorship's sake? :'''Patty''': What? :'''Mr. Racine''': Hand them over. I'll type them myself, and I'll have them Xeroxed. :'''Patty''': These are children! We are adults! This is not censorship! This is guiding adolescents who need...guidance! :'''Mr. Racine''': That is a very reasonable opinion, and very clearly stated. Unfortunately, it's total manure. :'''Patty''': Excuse me? :'''Mr. Racine''': It's horse manure. I sense you're angry. Are you angry? :'''Patty''': Yes! :'''Mr. Racine''': Yes! I sensed that! ''[laughs]'' :'''Patty''': Why is it manure? :'''Mr. Racine''': Good question. It is manure because this journal should be about giving these students a voice, not about having their thoughts edited. If these kids aren't afraid to put their hearts on the page, why should we be afraid of them? :'''Patty''': You should really teach full-time. :'''Mr. Racine''': We have a difference of opinion. Fine. But do you think you should be in the position of deciding because you run a printing press and I don't? :'''Patty''': Do you expect me to answer that question? :'''Mr. Racine''': Yes. :'''Patty''': ''[pause]'' No, I don't. :''[He hands the papers back to her and starts to leave]'' :'''Patty''': So. Did Angela write it? :''[He smirks and walks out]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I heard you left your family -- abandoned them. :'''Mr. Racine''': I see. :'''Angela''': So are you saying you didn't? I mean, what's the truth? :'''Mr. Racine''': Well, there are a couple of truths. One truth is I left my family. The other truth is my wife is far better off without me. Yes. I got out. I escaped. I broke out of a prison of my own making, and many, many people want to punish me for that -- maybe even you. :'''Angela''': I'm trying to -- :'''Mr. Racine''': 'To' what? To understand? Look, my struggle for freedom is mine. Get your own. Get out before it's too late, Amanda. :'''Angela''': 'Get out'? Get out of what? :'''Mr. Racine''': That mind-control factory -- that warehouse they store you in because they don't know what else to do with you. :'''Angela''': You're telling me to drop out of high school? :'''Mr. Racine''': Good question. Yes. Run for your life. Save your life. Let the walls of your gingerbread house come crashing down. Or not. :'''Angela''': It's Angela. And I have to say I don't think leaving high school is the answer. I don't think leaving anything is. The thing is...is I kind of admired you. === ''Why Jordan Can't Read'' [1.7] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Love is when you look into someone's eyes and suddenly you go all the way inside, to their soul, and you both know instantly. I always imagined I'd fall in love nursing a blind soldier who was wounded in battle. Or maybe while rescuing someone in the middle of a blizzard, seconds before the avalanche hits. I thought at least by the age of 15 I'd have a love life, but I don't even have a ''like'' life! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Huge events take place on this earth every day. Earthquakes, hurricanes…even glaciers move. So why couldn't he just...look at me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I can go out on dates, right? :'''Patty''': Yes, but we do have certain ground rules. :'''Angela''': Like what? :'''Graham''': Like what? :'''Patty''': Well, you have a curfew, and we have to know where you're going and with whom, and you can't do any drinking, and you can't get in a car with a boy who's done any drinking, and your father and I have to meet him first, whoever he is. That's it. :'''Graham''': Wow! :'''Angela''': You have to meet him first? :'''Graham''': Yes! :... :'''Angela''': That is so humiliating. This person means something to me. :'''Graham''': Is there a person who means something? :'''Angela''': Yes, and I don't see why you can't just trust that. Why should I have to parade him around in front of you? :'''Patty''': We just want to drag you down to our level. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received instructions on where to go and what to do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sharon''': What. :'''Rayanne''': So have you and Kyle gone all the way yet? :'''Sharon''': That is. Completely. None of your business. :'''Rayanne''': Duh. We aren't friends, due to the fact that neither of us can stand each other. And that's why I asked. Ask me me anything. Go ahead -- it's like, relaxing. :'''Sharon''': You're so weird. :'''Rayanne''': Duh squared. :'''Sharon''': Okay. Look. I made a solemn promise to myself. That I would not go all the way until I was ready. And I'm, like. Sticking to that. :'''Rayanne''': Well, it sure looks like you are reaching ecstasy when you and Kyle make out in the hall. :'''Sharon''': Well, yeah! Well, I mean...well, you know how it is. :'''Rayanne''': Well, yeah, in a way. I mean it's fun and all, but I don't always feel anything. Sometimes I feel numb, or something. :'''Sharon''': Maybe you just…haven't found the right person. :'''Rayanne''': I've tried every type of person. ''[Sharon stares at her]'' You don't have to look all worried or anything. === ''Strangers in the House'' [1.8] === :'''Angela''': ''[Sharon's father has had a heart attack]'' I wanted to hug Sharon, and tell her things, like how awful I felt, but, it was like I, didn't have the right, because we weren't friends anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Graham''': I landed the account. :'''Patty''': I don't, understand.. :'''Graham''': When they told me, I don't know, it was like a, this moment because I had to admit that, I didn't want to land it. Because landing it means that, I'm really doing this. This is my job, this is my life, this is it! This is what I really.. - But, look I'm sorry that I couldn't uh.. :'''Patty''': Oh no, that's.. :'''Graham''': ..You know, handle it or whatever.. :'''Patty''': That's okay.. :'''Graham''': But look, I landed it right? - That's all that matters. :'''Patty''': I don't think so. I don't think that's all that matters. :'''Graham''': Say what you mean. :'''Patty''': I'm proud of you, I'm glad you landed the account, and you're fired. :'''Graham''': What?! :'''Patty''': You're fired, because I love you, because I don't want to lose you. :'''Graham''': Uh, no, no Patty it's okay, I-I-I can fix my responsibilities.. :'''Patty''': I know it, but you're not happy, you're not. You're.. ''[sighs]'' something has to change. :'''Graham''': What'll we do? I mean... :'''Patty''': I don't know.. :'''Graham''': What'll I do? I don't even.. :'''Patty''': I don't know what you're gonna do.. I guess you're finally going to figure it out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sharon''': Why can't you even be nice to me?! :'''Angela''': ''[shouting]'' Why do you need me to be nice to you, since everyone else in the world is?! :'''Sharon''': It's not like that...You are the one person I needed it most from. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sharon''': My father almost died. And you were the only person who didn't even seem to care, people I barely knew, were coming up to me all like, concerned, and you, you acted like you barely even knew me. :'''Angela''': ''[Beginning to cry]'' I know, I know I acted like that. I just didn't know what else to do.. I knew I was the last person on earth you wanted to deal with.. :'''Sharon''': ''[Beginning to cry]'' You were, the only, person, I wanted to deal with.. :'''Angela''': ''[Crying]'' I wanted to talk to you too, it just seemed like, you wanted help from everyone but me! :'''Sharon''': I was, really scared. :'''Angela''': I was too. ''[They hug]'' :'''Sharon''': ''[Crying]'' I know, I know we have different friends now, but sometimes I miss you so much! :'''Angela''': Me too.. :'''Sharon''': It really, hurt. :'''Angela''': ''[Smiling, and offering hand like when they were young]'' Squeeze my hand as hard as it hurts.. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' There are so many different ways to be connected to people. There are the people you feel this unspoken connection to, even though there's not even a word for it. There's the people who you've known forever who know you in this way that other people can't because they've seen you change...they've ''let'' you change. === ''Halloween'' [1.9] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' When I was little I, like, worshiped Halloween. And truthfully, part of me still does. 'Cause it's your one chance all year to be someone else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Does anybody know Jordan Catalano? That question, like, got to me. I mean, I'd had seven conversations with him, and one really bad kiss, and one amazing one...But did I, like, know him? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' When someone dies young, it's like they stay that way forever, like a vampire. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': ''[hold up tissues]'' Wanna stuff? :''[Angela scoffs]'' :'''Rayanne''': What?! Its how they did it in the old days! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': I saw you watching me. :'''Brian''': What? I'm just... I... When? :'''Rayanne''': Today. Shaving my legs. :'''Brian''': Well, yeah. I'm, um... Look, I'm... My hobby is photography, so I'm, like, trained to notice stuff. :'''Rayanne''': Being the stuff people notice is my hobby. I mean, I live for it. === ''Other People's Mothers'' [1.10] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Walking into someone's house for the first time is like entering another country. Not that I've ever been to another country. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Sometimes I think if my mother wasn't so good at pretending to be happy, she'd be better at actually *being* happy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne's mom''': When I get back, we're gonna have a long talk, Rayanne Marie! But, tonight, you're too drunk! You're like a drunken old fool! I want this place cleaned up by the time I get home!! :''[she leaves, and Rickie and Angela run to Rayanne. Rickie holds her]'' :'''Rayanne''': ''[weakly]'' Why is it so cold, Rickie? Why is it so cold?... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': Rayanne reminds me a lot of a roommate I had in college. :'''Angela''': Well, did you like her?? :'''Patty''': Yeah. But, one night something happened. :'''Angela''': What happened? :'''Patty''': Oh, the same thing that happened with Rayanne tonight. Except she died. :'''Angela''': I'm sorry, Mom. :'''Patty''': No. Honey, you did the right thing, calling me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Each card has a name: The Magician, The Empress, The Fool, The Wheel of Fortune, Strength. They represent challenges and tests, twists of fate. No card is all good or all bad. Cards can be positive or negative depending on where they fall. When you read someone's future, they must think of a question. They must hold it in their mind. The cards are read in sequence, each card leads to the next. We move from terror and loss to unexpected good fortune and out of darkness, hope is born. === ''Life of Brian'' [1.11] === :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover]'' My mother's a behavioral psychologist, and my father's a Freudian psychiatrist, which basically means they fundamentally disagree on, like, everything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover]'' I became yearbook photographer because I liked the idea that I could sort of watch life without having to be part of it. But when you're yearbook photographer, you're, like, never in the picture. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Brian, this was all my fault.. :'''Brian''': '[voiceover]'' Her hair smelled incredible. :'''Angela''': ...I mean, I ruined your night. And Delia's night. I should have just stayed out of it. :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover]'' Like this orange grove we passed when I was eight on our way to see my grandmother. :'''Angela''': And I can't really explain why I even got involved. But I'm sorry. :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover]'' But I guess that's just like her shampoo, or whatever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': What'd you tell Rickie? :'''Brian''': I told him not to come over here. :'''Angela''': But, hes my friend!! :'''Brian''': Yeah. I know, He's mine, too, but, just in case we wanted like privacy- :'''Angela''': Why would we want privacy?! :'''Brian''': Well, just in case..... :'''Angela''': What do you think is going on here, Krakow?! :'''Brain''': Well, uh.... :'''Angela''': What did you tell Delia?! I explained to you why I wanted a ride to the dance! And it wasn't to come with you! You don't understand people, Krakow! You're so heartless! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover]'' Finally, an erection from actual physical contact! === ''Self-Esteem'' [1.12] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' There's something about Sunday night that really makes you want to kill yourself...And that creepy '60 Minutes' watch that sounds like your whole life ticking away. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' So I tried to be invisible. It's surprisingly possible. You just sit in the back and keep quiet and let the boys shout out the answers, which they will, even if they're wrong. Boys are less afraid of being wrong. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' There are certain places in life. Certain places where only certain people go. Like, there's this line that you know not to pass. Like, there's this boiler room, in the basement by the north exit, where only certain people go. For only one reason.... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': Angela, I can handle the boiler room. You, however can't! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katimski''': What kind of girl is [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]] describing here? Is she the most beautiful girl? :'''Brian''': No. :'''Katimski''': Is she a goddess? Physically perfect? The kind of girl who stops traffic when she walks down the street? :'''Brian''': ''[laughs]'' No. :'''Katimski''': So he's not in love with her? :'''Jordan''': Yeah. He is. :'''Katimski''': Why is that? Why is he in love with her? What is it? What is it about her? :'''Brian''': She's not just a fantasy. She's got, like, flaws. She's real. === ''Pressure'' [1.13] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' I couldn't stop thinking about it -- the like, fact of it. That people had sex. That they just had it. That sex was this thing people had. Like a rash, or a Rottweiler. Everything started to seem, like, pornographic or something. Like, Miss Krzyzanowski had sex. So does Mr. Katimski. They both have sex. They could have sex together, like right now. I am, like, the sickest person. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jordan''': ''[to Angela, about sex]'' It's accepted! It's what you're supposed to do! Unless you're like...abnormal? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brian''': My parents have a vibrator. It sounds like a lawnmower. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' Sometimes someone says something really small and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' People always say how you should be yourself. Like yourself is this definite thing, like a toaster or something. Like you know what it is, even. But every so often, I'll have, like, a moment when just being myself, and my life, like, right where I am, is, like, enough. === ''On the Wagon'' [1.14] === :'''Counselor''': I just need to know that you have a support system in place. :'''Rayanne''': I don't need a support system. I got friends. :'''Counselor''': That's exactly why I'm raising this. I mean, didn't you mention to me that you've had some feelings of distance from your friends since, you know... the incident? :'''Rayanne''': What incident? :'''Counselor''': I'm talking about the night you nearly died, the night that Angela's mother rushed you to the hospital. Now didn't you tell me that since that night you've felt some distance between yourself and your friend Angela? :'''Rayanne''': I never said 'distance.' I just don't see her that much. It's not 'cause a some incident, it's, it's 'cause she's got this guy that she's, like, involved with. Which she wouldn't even have if it wasn't for me. :'''Counselor''': And you don't feel any awkwardness around Angela? :'''Rayanne''': No. The thing with Angela is that even with this stupid obsession with this guy, she's, like, totally there for me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': Why is that, though, do you suppose? I mean, why is it so taboo? Why, why is it that, that you can't speak to people honestly about their children? :'''Graham''': Because-- I'm gonna kill you. Oh, Patty, it's like twelve-fifteen already. :'''Patty''': I know, I know, I know. Okay, I'm gonna stop obsessing about this, starting now. 'Night. :'''Graham''': 'Night. Because. ''[Graham turns on the light]'' Because nobody wants to hear something like that. Nobody wants to hear they may have made a mistake with their kids. Nobody wants to be accused of not being a decent parent. I mean, it-it is, it is an unwritten law, whatever goes on in your family is your business, period. Nobody else's. :'''Patty''': Do you mind? I'm trying to sleep here. Do you really believe that? I mean, you really believe that it would be that much of an intrusion to casually and non-confrontationally mention to someone that you happen to be a little concerned about their child? :'''Graham''': Uh, okay, okay. How would you respond to something like that? You know, some friendly, well-meaning comment like that? :'''Patty''': Poison dart. Ohhh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': There's this thing tonight at this coffeehouse, Vertigo, and I-I promised Rayanne I would ask if I could go, but I-I don't even really want to go, and I feel so guilty. See she's, she's singing, um, with this, this band that-- all right, fine, it's Jordan Catalano's band, but this has nothing to do with Jordan, or the fact that we broke up or, or anything, that's what's so weird, it's something between Rayanne and me...I-I can't even describe, but it's there, and it's been there for, like, a while, since that night w when you had to drive her to the hospital. It's this thing that we never talk about. ''[She picks up a pile of clean laundry]'' So these are mine? Thanks, I was kinda low on clean socks. ''[She hugs Patty]'' Thanks for listening. ''[leaves]'' :''[Patty stands, stunned]'' :'''Graham''': It's okay. She'll ignore you for another month just to make up for it. :'''Patty''': I know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': Just so you know, I, uh, I didn't drink yhat whiskey. I poured it back. You can ask Angela. :'''Patty''': You haven't had one drink? Since that night in the hospital? :'''Rayanne''': No. Swear to God. :'''Patty''': Why didn't you tell me that you had stopped seeing your counselor? :'''Rayanne''': I don't know. Maybe just 'cause I wanted you to think I was okay, so you wouldn't mind if I, you know, stayed friends with Angela. :'''Patty''': I guess she means a lot to you, huh? :'''Rayanne''': I guess that's, like, the one thing you and I have in common. :''[Rayanne gets out of the car]'' :'''Rayanne''': Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Chase. :'''Patty''': Rayanne? :'''Rayanne''': Yo. :'''Patty''': Apparently you and I are in the same [[w:Bokononism|karass]]. Call me Patty. :''[Rayanne leaves, then comes back]'' :'''Rayanne''': Patty, thanks. For, like...for my life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[coming out on the fire escape]'' Hi. I've never been out here before. So Rickie was really scared. I mean, I was, too. ''[silence from Rayanne]'' So, what, you're mad at me? Because I didn't get to hear you sing? :'''Rayanne''': You didn't miss much, just me making a fool out of myself, and you've seen that plenty. Right? Anyway, I knew you wouldn't show. I can't stand these looks anymore. :'''Angela''': What looks? :'''Rayanne''': You and Rickie looking at me like I'm gonna lose control, like any minute I'm gonna go on some jag or something. I just can't stand knowing what you're thinking about me. :'''Angela''': What? What am I thinking? :'''Rayanne''': I'm messed up. That I'm too messed up for you to be my friend anymore. :'''Angela''': Rayanne, that's not true. I never-- I'm still your friend. Nothing's changed. ''[voiceover]'' But that wasn't completely true either. And we both, like, knew it. === ''So-Called Angels'' [1.15] === :'''Danielle''': It's not fair. Angela got a new bike when she was eleven. :'''Graham''': What do you do? Keep like running tally of everything we bought for Angela? :'''Danielle''': Well, yeah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': Oh, a Christmas card from the Levettis? :'''Graham''': So? :'''Patty''': Well, I finally took them off the list! We haven't laid eyes on them since Danielle started solids, and now out of nowhere they send this? :'''Graham''': Patty, it's a greeting card, not a dead fish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danielle''': Do we have to keep talking about religion? It's Christmas. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': Boy, people get swept up in this Christmas thing, huh? :'''Angela''': You mean you don't? :'''Rayanne''': Yeah, but my mom and I like to wait... for stuff to go on sale. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sharon''': Krakow, this is when people need the helpline, okay? People get so stressed over this holiday stuff, they experience actual symptoms of depression, or whatever. Like, total helplessness and despair. And, like, loss of appetite, or whatever. === ''Resolutions'' [1.16] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' What I was thinking, as like a New Year's resolution, is to stop getting so caught up in my own thoughts, 'cause I'm like way too introspective...I think. :'''Sharon''': ''[voiceover]'' I resolve to never again have sex with Kyle, or anyone, again, unless I really love and respect them. :'''Kyle''': ''[voiceover]''... to spend more time with the dog, and Sharon. :'''Katimski''': ''[voiceover]'' ... um, give up coffee, there, that's an easy one. :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover]'' I resolve to stop obsessing over Angela Chase. :'''Danielle''': ''[voiceover]'' ... to badger Mom into letting me wear make-up. :'''Rickie''': ''[voiceover]'' ... to find some place where I like really, belong. :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' ... but what if not thinking turns me into this shallow person? I better rethink this becoming less introspective thing. :'''Rayanne''': ''[voiceover]'' ... to stop drinking, but this time, like, really stop. :'''Patty''': ''[voiceover]'' I resolve to be less judgmental, less critical, to lighten up! And above all, to be more supportive, and less suspicious ''[about Graham]'' no matter how much it seems like he's hiding something. :'''Graham''': ''[voiceover]'' ... to tell Hallie Lowenthal once and for all that I'm not going into restaurant business with her... And to stop all those long talks with her after class. :'''Jordan''': ''[voiceover]'' Wait a second, isn't tonight, New Year's Eve? :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' ...okay, so I'll stay introspective, but I do resolve to stop doing Jordan Catalano's homework. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' The thing about resolutions is, it's hard to remember them around somebody like Jordan Catalano. :'''Jordan''': This is wrong. :'''Angela''': What? :'''Jordan''': You, doing my homework, it's wrong. :'''Angela''': Well I was just trying to help. :'''Jordan''': It's like I'm taking advantage of you or something. :'''Angela''': You're not taking advantage of me. :'''Jordan''': Yeah I am. It would be different if we were like...but now you're just...you know, a friend or whatever. ''[pause]'' I can't do this anymore. :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' I couldn't believe it, for the first time in my life I actually stuck to a resolution. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Girl''': Do you have like an eraser I could use for a second? :'''Brian''': I think so.. :'''Girl''': My eraser like won't erase. :'''Brian''': Um, here you can keep it. :'''Girl''': Thanks. :'''Brian''': What? :'''Jordan''': She would sleep with you. :'''Brian''': What?! :'''Jordan''': She, would sleep, with you. :'''Brian''': Because I gave her my eraser? :'''Jordan''': No..Because, because she would. Go get her number. :'''Brian''': What?! How am I supposed to get her number? I just like ask her just ask some girl I don't even know for her number? Like, without warning? :''[Jordan goes over to girl. Returns and tosses the number on the desk]'' :'''Jordan''': So, anyway, ''The Odyssey''? Is like this real long book right? And ah, I.. :'''Brian''': I don't believe this..''[looking at number]'' I don't..you like dothis? This is like how you live? :'''Jordan''': Yeah. :''[Brian starts laughing, Jordan joins him]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[walks in]'' Hi! What's so funny? :'''Jordan''': Nothing. :'''Brian''': You sort of had to be there..''[more laughing]'' I have to sharpen my, my pencil..''[gets up, laughs]'' :'''Angela''': Look, if this weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer. :'''Jordan''': It's not so weird. :'''Angela''': Oh, so, huh. Good! :'''Jordan''': You could, have sex with me though..''[Angela laughs]'' if you really want to help. ''[Angela gets up, laughing]'' I guess that's a, no. :'''Angela''': ''[Laughing]'' I'll let you get back to your work... === ''Betrayal'' [1.17] === :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' I loved Jordan Catalano so much, and talked about him so much, and thought about him so much, it was like he lived inside me. Like he had taken possession of my soul, or something. And then one day...I got over him! ''[Angela dances and sings to "Blister In The Sun"]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[voiceover]'' It was like Jordan Catalano had been surgically removed from my heart... and I was free. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': I've never really hurt somebody this bad before... Hard to believe! I mean, but I guess you can't hurt somebody this bad, unless you really matter to them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Katimsky''': ''[explaining a scene from [[w:Our Town|Our Town]] to Rayanne]'' Emily is dead.The life she had is over. That's a pretty big deal. I mean — oh, gee whiz, she is just now realizing how precious every moment of that life really was, and that she never fully appreciated what she had. Just imagine what that must feel like, Rayanne. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': You lost nothing Angela, You lost nothing you lost a lousy selfish friend and a guy you never really had, you lost nothing, I lost a really good friend. I lost everything. === ''Weekend'' [1.18] === :'''Danielle''': ''[voiceover]'' My whole life, is waiting for something to happen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danielle''': ''[voiceover]'' My life is different people kicking me out of different rooms. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Kyle and Warren are listening through the door]'' :'''Kyle''': Brian Krakow has Rayanne Graff chained to a bed, and they're all watching. :'''Rayanne''': ''[talking about key for handcuffs]'' Brian, you idiot, that's not gonna fit. It's too big! :''[Guys outside snicker]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danielle''': You're awake? :'''Rayanne''': I can't sleep. Too bored to sleep. Could you do me a favor? :'''Danielle''': I could for money. :'''Rayanne''': Girl after my very own heart. Okay, here's what you do. You go down to the liquor cabinet. You give me a bottle. Anything brown. I'll give you a dollar. :'''Danielle''': Nope. :'''Rayanne''': Two dollars. :'''Danielle''': It's wrong to drink. :'''Rayanne''': You have a real miserable side to you, you know that? :'''Danielle''': My parents say you're a bad influence. I heard 'em talking about the things you do. Why do you do 'em? :'''Rayanne''': I don't know. See, okay, when I look at myself, I see everything in, like, slow motion, and I think, "Something has to happen." Only, it never does. So I have to make it happen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rayanne''': Look, I don't want to get into any big discussion or anything. :'''Angela''': Oh, neither do I. :'''Rayanne''': Oh, then why'd you ask me to stay? :'''Angela''': The key? ''[Rayanne smiles, pretends she doesn't have it, before returning it]'' I knew you couldn't resist. :'''Rayanne''': Party pooper. :''[Rayanne leaves]'' :'''Angela''': Weekend from hell. :'''Danielle''': ''[voiceover]'' That was the best weekend of my entire life. === ''In Dreams Begin Responsibilities'' [1.19] === :'''Brian''': ''[voiceover, writing a love letter on behalf of Jordan]'' Dear Angela, I know in the past I've caused you pain and I'm sorry. And I'll always be sorry 'till the day I die. And I hate this pen I'm holding because I should be holding you. I hate this paper under my hand because it isn't you. I even hate this letter because it's not the whole truth. Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say. If you want to hate me, go ahead. If you want to burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down. You could tell me to go to hell; I'd go, if you wanted me to. And I'd send you a letter from there. Sincerely, Jordan Catalano. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rickie''': Brian, did you do something... or something?? What did you do? :'''Brian''': I wrote this letter... to her. :'''Rickie''': Oh my God, and she thinks he wrote it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patty''': It's always tempting to lose yourself with someone who's maybe lost themselves. But eventually, you want reality. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rickie''': Uh, Delia? Maybe we should, uh, go somewhere sometime? :'''Delia''': Okay. :'''Rickie''': You know, like, uh, to a movie or something. :'''Delia''': I'd like that. :'''Rickie''': 'Cause, um, I, I really think that we'd be good together. :'''Delia''': Okay, but um, you're gay, right? :'''Rickie''': Well, I, you know, I, I- :'''Delia''': Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't- :'''Rickie''': No, it, it, it's okay. :'''Delia''': That came out so rude. :'''Rickie''': No, uh, see I, I try not to, um, no, I, I don't like, uh... Yeah, I'm gay. I just don't usually say it like that. :'''Delia''': And how do you usually say it? :'''Rickie''': I don't usually say it. I mean, I've actually never said it... out loud. :'''Delia''': I'm honored. :'''Rickie''': Uh, Delia, if I were attracted to girls, I'd be attracted to you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Brian? Brian, look at me. ''[pause]'' Um, that letter I told you about...um, Rickie said ''you'' wrote it. And I have to know, because... :'''Brian''': Know what? There's nothing to know. ''[pause]'' OK, what Rickie probably meant is that...see Jordan Catalano asked me to like proofread it for grammatical errors. :'''Angela''': You proofread a love letter?! :''[pause]'' :'''Angela''': Is this like a game to you? :'''Brian''': Um, hardly! :'''Angela''': But you admit that you were involved. :'''Brian''': I'm not admitting anything. :'''Angela''': This is a joke, right? The...the two of you...Oh God. I can't believe I fell for it. It's obviously a total lie! :'''Brian''': No, I meant every word. ''[pause]'' I mean the person who wrote it meant every word...probably. :'''Angela''': ''[looking at him in a new light]'' Brian? :'''Brian''': I didn't write it! :'''Angela''': Brian, you said... :'''Brian''': Forget what I said. Forget this whole conversation! :'''Angela''': How? :'''Brian''': You liked it though right? It made you, like happy? :'''Angela''': Yeah. :'''Brian''': 'Cause that's all that, you know, matters. :'''Angela''': To who? :'''Brian''': To, you know, the person...who wrote it. == Cast == * [[Claire Danes]] - Angela Chase * [[w:A.J.

It was released in Japan on December 2, 1999, in North America on June 11, 2000, and on January 19, 2001 in Europe. Despite mixed critical reception, the game has amassed a very large cult following, including several online petitions for a sequel. ==Dart== *Big talkers are usually weak. *What a stream! *It was a journey for revenge. It was a journey to find the guy who deprived me of something precious, and kill him. *What I found on the ground was only this. It's a memento, the only thing my father carried around all the time. *There are those in the forest. Nocturnal owls are hooting. It's the proof that nobody is in the forest. *Shana, you have something only you can do, right? You don't need to pretend to be strong. Besides, you can rely on me more. Like in the old days... ==Rose== *I should be thanked, so why do I have to be yelled at? *You 'deserve' to rule Dragons. This light shows the true evidence. From the time the Dragoon Spirit starts to shine, you have to accept your fate as a Dragoon. Just like me. *When Dragoons meet blood will flow, and as they leave time does slow. *War is not in human nature. Humans fight by making themselves enter Insanity. This is a tool to amplify that Insanity. *Everything is turning out just as Zieg wished. The seal of the moon was broken, and the terribly disastrous plan laid by Soa finally has started. Those Virages are mere advance guards for the primary Virage Embryo. It seems the birth of the God of Destruction will only be a matter of time. Does the Divine Tree, which gave birth to all the species, want this as well? *I feel naked without my sword. *Those who flaunt their power disappear when the truly strong appear. *I've been waiting for this moment. ==Lavitz== *I am Lavitz Slambert! I am the head of the First Knighthood of the Kingdom of Basil! Well, it seems we don't have time for introductions! *You can celebrate later. We are still deep in the belly of the enemy. Besides, it's too damp to have a party, isn't it? *She grew up. She was alone in such a hell like place. If she was a regular woman, she wouldn't have been able to survive. Of course, there are not that many fools who would come here to save her. *You'll make a good wife one day. *Well, you have been away from each other for five years. It's natural to not know about each other. Wait, my mom and I aren't like that. Every time I go back to Bale, she welcomes me with the same smile. Wh, What? Did I say something wrong? *This is what I saw everyday when I was young. I grew up thinking...'I'll be an admired knight just like my father and I'll protect this country! ==Albert== *I thought we stepped into the moon. *I believe love is the only entity that doesn't change over time. ==Meru== *Are you really okay!? Your eyes are kind of watery. ==Lloyd== *Death gives birth to tears, tears give birth to anger, when anger turns to rancor, it opens the path for war. *That is not of your concern. *This is enough information for you. Those of you who do not grasp the value should just do what the orders say. *It doesn't matter. Everything is going just as I planned. Yes.... They don't know they are in the palm of my hand. ==Fruguel== *You bastard! Don't let them out alive!! Wait!! I almost forgot the most important thing, don't kill the girl. IT's an order from His Majesty Doel! ==Commander== *Shana.... Don't worry about her. She must be receiving the courtesies of Hellena Prison by now. ==Noish== *As if they were gods, Winglies ruled over all living creatures, and used them as slaves. The enslaved suffered a terrible domination and injustice. Their anger turned to a flame of fury; then, a gust of wind blew throughout the lands, spreading the flame to a blazing fire. The wind was Emperor Diaz. Seven incarnations Dragons served the emperor. Their bravery inspired people to take up arms. Thus began the Dragon Campaign. It was a harsh war. Both people and Winglies suffered countless injuries and fatalities. After a long period of suffering, it was the humans who acquired the future. The age of humans had begun. ==Savan== *The courage to pursue your love will change even fate. ==Intro== *When the clash of swords echo, *The journey chasing the past ends and *The journey to know today begins *One soul seeks another and *Pledges their sworn friendship to another. *One mystery begets the next and *The doors of fate are opened *You are free to sever the chains of fate that bind you.... == Dialogue== :'''Lavitz''': I am a bit concerned.... :'''Shana'': Wha, What?! Lavitz's mother gave me a compliment! :'''Lavitz''': I guess it may be edible.... :'''Shana''': I don't like what Lavitz said. :'''Dart''': I can enjoy and eat any food. Just make a lot. :'''Shana''': I don't like what Dart said so much either. :'''Kaiser''': I don't care about the taste. Edible is enough. Just salt is enough for flavor! :'''Shana''': Even Mr. Kaiser too. == About The Legend of Dragoon == * When we began this project, there wasn't any plans to include any movies at first. I mean, the characters themselves are all in polygons. We all thought that there would be a gap would appear between when we go from polygons to movies. But then again, Movies are very cool to watch so in the end, we decided to put them in whenever a significant event takes place. * There is a race that can use magic, but these characters, like our human selves, cannot use it. You lose the sense of a real world if everyone can do everything. However, you will be able to use Magic while you are transformed as Dragoons. It sorta seems lonely to put in only the Additonal system. And if characters are just normal, they can't use magic. Thats why they'll be many items that will have the same effect as attack magic. :* [[w:Yasuharu Hasebe|Yasuharu Hasebe]], [http://www.rpgfan.com/features/lod.html Famitsu Legend of Dragoon Interview] ''RPGFan'' * The Main theme behind the movies in which we see Dragon Fights was to give a sense of being in the air, which is impossible to do if you treat it as just another CG Movie. Since we wanted to show the things on the surface as well, it added to our problems. Since this game revolves around war, we wanted to show destroyed structures and smoke coming out the buildings. So in the end,we ended up with a lot of smoke*laughs*. That was the first time our CG team had to deal with Smoke. : The Other would be the lighting. We set our goals to have lighting like in the Movies and I think we've succeeded in our goal. What often happens with CGs is that the developers want to show off their skills so much that they end up using too much lighting. However this time, we've taken account on what parts we want the user's eye to catch and used lighting accordingly.

River]'' Not quite the [[w:Ganges|Ganges]], is it? Not really a river anymore. Used to flood like a son of a bitch when I was a boy. They paved it all up in the '50s.

It'll have to do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andrea''': Why are we here? :'''David''': We're here Andrea because someone was shot. :'''Andrea''': Given that that happens every day in the city, why are we all here for this one? :'''David''': Because this happens every day in this city. I didn't see a crowd of reporters at 163 and Florence two days ago when Conchita Escovito was killed by a stray bullet while she sitting at her kitchen table feeding her baby girl. You're damn right I had my assistant call your editors and news directors because I knew that me being here could get you here. Now, look. I don't blame you because you don't go to the scene of every shooting. When something happens every day, it stops being news. I'm no saint above this myself. The only reason I knew those two names I just mentioned is because they're ongoing cases. You ask me who was murdered on this day six months ago? I wouldn't know. Not their names, anyway. I tend not to forget the faces. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boss''': ''[referring to David]'' What do you think of him? :'''Andrea''': I don't ...think of him. He's a politician. :'''Boss''': He seems real to me. :'''Andrea''': Yeah, well, you know what they say about politicians. The key to success is sincerity. Once they learn that, they've got it made. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ray''': ''[to Tom, referring to Joel]'' What, are you in love with the guy? :'''Tom''': Shut up. :'''Ray''': I'm serious. The way you're looking at him. What's your problem with him? :'''Tom''': Everything comes easy to him -- sailing through The Academy and making detective. :'''Ray''': Yeah, I'm tired of good things happening to the good. It's high time we celebrated mediocrity. Just let go of that crap. :'''Tom''': Yeah, like you? :'''Ray''': My situation is a little different. He thinks I'm soiled. Spend five years in The Heights, go fishing with a guy, you go to his kid's birthday parties, ipso facto you're dirty. Guilt by association, that's all it is. Nothing I'd like better than to do a dance in a dark stairwell with that self-righteous son of a bitch. I don't let that show. I smile, I make nice, I let him think I'm his best friend in the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. La Fontaine''': I've been trying to think of a prayer, but I'm coming up blank. It's been a long time. You, you, got any? :'''Joel''': No, no, I'm all out. :'''Mr. La Fontaine''': How about you? Prayer? :'''Fearless''': I don't have any prayers, but I do have a story. :'''Mr. La Fontaine''': Okay. :'''Fearless''': There was this wave, way out on the ocean. And he was just racing along having a great time -- and just sunlight glinting, spray just flying -- until one day he looked ahead, and he saw wave after wave in front of him crashing on the beach, and he got scared. And this older wave in front of him said, 'I know exactly what your problem is. You've been having so much fun being a wave, that you forgot you're really just part of the ocean.' :'''Mr. La Fontaine''': I like that. Part of the ocean. Okay.

Okay, thank you, have a nice day. Hello, sir, are you dead? No? Is the lady of the house dead? Is the person that handles your long-distance provider dead? <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': Let me tell you why I'm here. The police asked me if there was any legal reason I could find to compel you to help them. Trouble is, I couldn't find a reason. :'''Mike''': That's exactly what I told them. :'''David''': They could get you a search warrant. :'''Mike''': Search warrant? To search what, my brain? I have nothing written down. :'''David''': Even then, it would be too late, the guy's wife's gonna be dead in, what, an hour and a half? :'''Mike''': Look, I don't want any harm coming to any one, but my business depends upon discretion, who attends my parties must remain my secret, or I'm out of business. :'''David''': No, I understand your position. Now, I want you to understand mine. As I said, the police think I'm in here working up some kind of legal strategy to force you to give them the information that they need. But that's not why I'm here. The reason I'm here is, I'm gonna ask you a favor. :'''Mike''': I wish I could. :'''David''': Shhh. I think you're gonna want to hear this. As a kid, growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, it's this tough little suburb just outside Boston. My father had the title of Supervisor of Public Works. But that's not what he did. Wanna know what he did? He fixed things. People of power needed things to be done, they called ol' Jackie boy, and let me tell you, he got things done. Now, my father taught me lots of things, lot of things. One of the things he did teach me was how to hurt someone without leaving any bruises. We're talking excruciating pain without leaving any marks. You know how he did it? Went for the internal organs. Let me show you how he did it. Here Mike, could you hold this for me? :''[David hands the man his jacket.]'' :'''David''': Thanks. What he'd do is that you wanna go for the spleen. You see, right underneath the rib cage. :''[David punches the wall.]'' :'''David''': Or you then maybe one in the liver. :''[He punches the wall again.]'' :'''David''': One of his favorites was going for the kidney, cause believe me, I know, was going for the kidney and-- :''[He punches the wall a third time, slamming his fist right through the drywall.]'' :'''David''': One good kidney shot and you're pissin' blood for a month. So the favor I'm gonna ask is really quite simple. Don't help the police. Don't tell them who was at your party last night. Don't help them stop a guy from killing his wife. Just don't. Cause let me tell ya, I'm not in a good mood today, and there is nothing I'd rather do than beat that supercillious look off of your face. You get me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rental Agent''': There are stains on the throw rug in the upstairs bathroom. :'''Ivan''': I'm sure there are. :'''Rental Agent''': What are they? :'''Ivan''': What do you think? :'''Rental Agent''': That's disgusting. :''[Joel and Fearless enter]'' :'''Rental Agent''': ''[to Joel and Fearless]'' Yes? :'''Joel''': L.A.P.D. :'''Rental Agent''': What do you want? :'''Ivan''': It's probably about the snuff film we shot in the basement. Wait til you see ''those'' stains. :'''Rental Agent''': What?! :'''Ivan''': I'm kidding! I'm just kidding. You detectives know I'm kidding, don't you? :'''Joel''': Yeah, yeah, looks like you had some party here last night. :''[Ivan makes a call]'' :'''Ivan''': ''[on phone]'' Jared, it's Ivan. How are you? Well, I'm here at the Bolaby house and two detectives from the L.A.P.D. have come to visit. ''[to Fearless]'' My lawyer would like to have a word. :'''Joel''': We don't wanna speak to him. :'''Ivan''': ''[on phone]'' Yes, okay. Well I can assure you that my party was fully permitted. All my parties are, I'm scrupulous in that regard. We've had people around here try to shut us down on dozens of occasions, and each time I've come out smelling like a rose. :'''Joel''': Excuse me. :'''Fearless''': So what exactly happens at your parties? :'''Ivan''': I provide the very best in exotic private dancing entertainment for a select clientele. :'''Joel''': Private strip shows for rich people. :'''Ivan''': How very to the point. Lest you concern yourselves, there are no drugs, the girls are all over 21 and there's no sex. Just the illusion of sex. The promise of sex, sex is in the very air, but no sex per se. :'''Fearless''': We need to know who was at your party last night. :'''Ivan''': I'm afraid I can't help you with that. :''[Joel gestures for the phone.]'' :'''Ivan''': ''[on phone]'' Ah, one of them does want to talk to you. :'''Joel''': ''[on phone]'' Yes, you can tell your client we're not here about permits. We're here because someone who came to his party last night was murdered this morning. And if we don't find the murderer within two hours, your client is going to be facing obstruction, interfering in an official investigation, and aiding in the commission of a homicide. Have you got him a permit for any of that? :''[Ivan listens to his lawyer on the phone.]'' :'''Ivan''': Yes. ''[He hangs up]'' My lawyer says, to get a warrant. :'''Joel''': Listen to me you son-of-a-bitch, a woman is going to be murdered. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joel''': That call's getting better and better. Vanessa Griggs, we have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, your husband was murdered by some guy that you dance for, and now he wants to kill you too. The good news is, he's also the guy in the car chase on TV. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Luis''': One thing I do not understand. I know I stole the truck, my mission from God notwithstanding. But why were there so many police chasing me? It's not like I killed someone.

And stop with the fucking love songs! :[''both are silent for a while''] :'''Perconte''': When did you ship out? A few weeks ago? :'''O' Keefe''': Yeah. :'''Perconte''': It's been two years since I've seen home. Two ''years''. This fucking war. == ''Points'' == :'''[[w:Richard Winters|Winters]]''': Listen up. You ready for it? ''[pause]'' German Army surrendered. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Members of Easy Company are going hunting. Shifty Powers misses a chance to shoot a deer]'' :'''[[w:Frank Perconte|Perconte]]''': Dammit, Shifty! The Army's going to be glad to get rid of you. :'''[[w:Darrell Powers|Shifty]]''': I wish, you know? Turns out, they want me to stay for a while. :'''Malarky''': Are you serious? :'''Shifty''': Yup. :'''Malarky''': How many points are you short? :'''Shifty''': Fifteen. :'''Malarky''': ''Fifteen''? Jesus Christ, I thought ''I'' had it bad. :'''Shifty''': No Purple Hearts, never was injured. <hr width="50%"/> :'''German Colonel''': I wonder what will happen to us – to people like you and me – when there are no more wars to occupy us? :'''Winters''': Have all your men collect the weapons, deposit them at the church and the school, and at the airfield. :'''Colonel''': Very well. ''[Draws his sidearm, offers it to Winters butt-first]'' Please accept this as my personal surrender, Major. It is better than to lay it on the desk of a clerk. :'''Winters''': ''[considers]'' You may keep your sidearm, Colonel. :''[Colonel assents, salutes]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Captain Sobel, now outranked by Winters, happens to be walking by while Winters is sitting in his Jeep. Sobel pretends to not notice Winters.]'' :'''Winters''': Captain Sobel. :'''[[w:Herbert Sobel|Sobel]]''': Major Winters. ''[Tries to keep walking]'' :'''Winters''': Captain Sobel... we salute the rank, not the man. :''[Sobel slowly turns and salutes]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Liebgott''': ''[translating a German general's speech]'' Men, it's been a long war, it's been a tough war. You've fought bravely, proudly for your country. You're a special group. You've found in one another a bond that exists only in combat, among brothers. You've shared [[w:foxhole|foxholes]], held each other in dire moments. You've seen death and suffered together. I'm proud to have served with each and every one of you. You all deserve long and happy lives in peace. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Winters''': ''[Narrating]'' Buck Compton came back to see the company to let everyone know he was alright. He became a prosecutor in Los Angeles. He convicted Sirhan Sirhan in the murder of Robert Kennedy, and was later appointed to the California Court of Appeals. David Webster became a writer for the ''Saturday Evening Post'' and ''Wall Street Journal'', and later wrote a book about sharks. In 1961, he went out on the ocean alone, and was never seen again. Johnny Martin would return to his job at the railroad, and then start his own construction company. He splits his time between Arizona and a place in Montana. George Luz became a handyman in Providence, Rhode Island. As a testament to his character, 1,600 people attended his funeral in 1998. "Doc" Rowe died in Louisiana in 1998. He'd been a construction contractor. Frank Perconte returned to Chicago, and worked a postal route as a mailman. Joe Liebgott returned to San Francisco, and drove his cab. Bull Randleman was one of the best soldiers I ever had. He went into the earth-moving business in Arkansas. He's still there. Alton Moore returned to Wyoming with a unique souvenir: Hitler's personal photo albums. He died in a car accident, in 1958. Floyd Talbert, we all lost touch with in civilian life, until he showed up for a reunion just before his death in 1981. How we lived our lives after the war was as varied as each man. Carwood Lipton became a glass-making executive in charge of factories all over the world. He has a nice life in North Carolina. Harry Welsh, he married Kitty Grogan, and became an administrator for the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania School System. Ronald Spiers stayed in the Army. He served in Korea, and in 1958, returned to Germany as governor of Spandau Prison. He retired a Lieutenant Colonel. :''[Winters gathers Easy Company to inform them of Japan's surrender, ending World War II]'' For Easy Company, it was D-Day plus 434. Regardless of points, medals, or wounds, each man in the 101st Airborne would be going home. Each of us would be forever connected by our shared experience, and each would have to rejoin the world as best he could. Lewis Nixon had some tough times after the war. He was divorced a couple of times, then, in 1956, he married a woman named Grace and everything came together for him. He spent the rest of his life with her, traveling the world. My friend Lew died in 1995. I took up his job offer, and was a personnel manager at the Nixon Nitration Works, until I was called back into service in 1950 to train officers and Rangers. I chose not to go to Korea; I'd had enough of war. I stayed around Hershey, Pennsylvania, finally finding a little farm, a little peaceful corner of the world, where I still live today. And there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of the men I served with who never got to enjoy the world without war. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Carwood Lipton|Lipton]]''': [[w:Henry V of England|Henry V]] was talking to his men. He said, "from this day to the ending of the world... we in it shall be remembered. We lucky few, we band of brothers. For he who today shed his blood with me shall be my brother." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Winters''': ''[quoting from a letter Mike Ranney wrote to him]'': "I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day, when he said: 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' Grandpa said, 'No. But I served in the company of heroes.'" == Taglines == * They depended on each other, and the world depended on them. * There was a time when the world asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things. == Cast == * [[w:Damian Lewis|Damian Lewis]] - Maj.

CBS aired the final episode on May 19, 2009 and was cancelled after 7 seasons. == Season 1 == === ''Pilot'' [1.1] === :'''Jack''': As you all know, we have a new member of the team joining us today&mdash;Martin Fitzgerald. Let's make sure we give him the frosty welcome that all rookies deserve. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': Two years working white-collar in Seattle and he gets this assignment? :'''Samantha''': Doesn't hurt to be Victor Fitzgerald's kid. :'''Danny''': Mmm. No wonder he's smiling. :'''Samantha''': Not a bad smile, either. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I was surprised that your father didn't call me about you. :'''Martin''': I asked him to stay out of it. I don't want any preferential treatment. :'''Jack''': Good, 'cause you're don't have anything to getting any. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': I think he's sleeping with her. The way he talks about her and she's climbing that corporate ladder pretty quick. :'''Jack''': He may be in love with her, but he's not sleeping with her. Never even thought about it. :''[Martin shoots a questioning look at Jack.]'' :'''Jack''': He's gay. :'''Martin''': What, because he called her a 'fireball'? :'''Jack''': No, 'cause he was checking you out. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The team is watching a surveillance video.]'' :'''Vivian''': What time was that taken? :'''Danny''': 2:32 A.M. :'''Vivian''': Where's she going? :'''Danny''': Maybe it's a booty call. :'''Samantha''': Your mind is always in the gutter. There was no call. :'''Danny''': Tom Wilkins, 11:48. :'''Martin''': In my experience, there's usually not a three-hour lag between the call and the, uh&hellip;delivery. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Hey, Frankie. How you doing? :'''Frankie''': Ah, bum knee, too much alimony&hellip;Other than that, I'm peachy. === ''Birthday Boy'' [1.2] === :'''Danny''': This would have never happened at Shea. :'''Vivian''': It's so sad how bitter Mets fans are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': So, you want me here? :'''Jack''': Break major protocol on the first day, that's what happens. :''[Jack leaves.]'' :'''Martin''': How long does it take to get out of his dog house? :'''Danny''': Depends on the dog. :''[Danny leaves.]'' :'''Samantha''': Don't mind Danny. He's just, uh, marking his territory. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Look, I've worked hundreds of these cases and certain patterns develop. Now, I sorry that I not like the pattern, but I can't ignore them. You want to know what those patterns are? When a child goes missing, whoever claims to have seen them last is usually the one that took them; and if that person happens to be one of the parents, the incidence doubles. Now my gut says you're okay, but I don't know you. I'm trying to get to know you so that I can help you, but I can't help you unless you earn my trust. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Martin has been fielding calls about the team's latest case, and marking locations on a map.]'' :'''Samantha''': Lots of little red dots. :'''Martin''': Phone's ringing every 15 seconds. Must be a lot of little brown-haired kids unaccounted for. Look, I know people are trying to be helpful but&hellip;for example, this lady? She keeps calling me. She's convinced that she saw Gabe on T.V. this morning ringing the bell to open the stock exchange. :'''Samantha''': Trouble is, just when you think you've got every nutcase in America calling your number that's the exact moment you get a live one. :'''Martin''': Well, one better come in soon, 'cause I'm running out of push-pins. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Martin has just tackled a suspect, and they have both landed in a pond.]'' :'''Jack''': Where did you learn that? White collar? :'''Martin''': No, sixth grade swim class. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Samantha''': Heard you got a little wet. :'''Martin''': Been sweating my ass off in the doghouse. === ''He Saw, She Saw'' [1.3] === :'''Martin''': So I've got three composites on our suspect. :'''Samantha''': White, maybe not white. Brown-haired or balding. Bearded man with a mustache. :'''Danny''': You got to love eyewitnesses. Me, I'll take an old-fashioned grainy security video any day of the week. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Well, the wife goes missing, the husband's the last one to see her. We don't need to talk about those percentages, do we? :'''Vivian''': I love the way your brain works. Always goes to the darkside. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Samantha''': He's in love with her. :'''Jack''': Probably. :'''Samantha''': Think Duncan knows? :'''Jack''': Probably. :'''Samantha''': Maybe a safe place for her to land. He's familiar. He's got just as much to lose as she does. :'''Jack''': I don't know. She lost a child. If she was looking for an escape, she probably picked somebody that was completely separate from her real life. :'''Samantha''': Is that from your infidelity handbook? :'''Jack''': Chapter three. :'''Samantha''': Well, I hate to contradict the book, but if you're wrong, it leaves Duncan plenty of motive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeff Blye''': Agent Malone, I would like it to be noted that my client is cooperating fully in this investigation. :'''Jack''': Apart from hiding every crucial piece of information your client has been ''very'' cooperative and we'll be sure to make a note of that. === ''Between the Cracks'' [1.4] === :''[Samantha is looking through Eve's modeling photos.]'' :'''Samantha''': Eve Cleary as J-Lo. Eve Cleary as Britney. Who the hell are we looking for? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Danny and Martin are discussing the condition of an apartment.]'' :'''Danny''': Here's what eighteen hundred gets you in the city. :'''Martin''': Aw, come on, they can't all be this bad. :'''Danny''': You're right&mdash;most of the time the bathtub's in the kitchen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Well, it's a big city out there. I think if you grow up here, you take it for granted. :'''Vivian''': You're right. :'''Jack''': Wonder how many girls are all like Eve? They come to this town full of hope but really, they're just these tiny pebbles that get thrown into a lake so big they barely leave a ripple. You know, it's amazing. Chet Collins is so desperate to find out anything about his son, but we can't find one person who noticed Eve was missing. :'''Vivian''': Jack, about Chet Collins&mdash;I don't think you should give up. :'''Jack''': Sometimes I wish I could. :'''Vivian''': No, you don't. You're a hope junkie, like the rest of us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Trevor Haines is a con artist. He read about your son's case on-line. He memorized some details and he made up the rest. He's done it before, Chet. Several times. I'm truly sorry. :'''Chet Collins''': Feels like drowning, Jack&hellip;like drowning so slowly you don't even realize what's happening. Well, I-I have to go. I can't let Sean go, but&hellip;you know, each time&hellip;each time I'm scared that I might not be able to hang on. :'''Jack''': You can hang on to me. === ''Suspect'' [1.5] === :'''Judge Adderley''': Gentlemen, I got to tell you, this guy Spaulding sounds like real scum. I hope you can put him away for the rest of his miserable life and I'll be glad to help you do that&hellip;as soon as you appear before me with constitutionally-obtained evidence. Now, just so you understand Agents Taylor and Malone, you may not enter a house without a search warrant under the flimsiest of exigent circumstances and then bootstrap that questionable entry into a fishing expedition for other evidence. ''[to Danny]'' And you, son&mdash;you had no right to continue the search after finding that dog. You had no right to open the photo album and you certainly had no right to remove it from the premises. And you have absolutely no right to an arrest warrant based on the photographs found therein. Make sense? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I meant what I said before, Graham. You care about these kids. That's why you took Andy under your wing. He was confused, vulnerable. You were the only one who understood him. :'''Graham Spaulding''': Is that right? :'''Jack''': I think so. But then he turned on you, didn't he? I know how that feels. Know how&hellip;painful that can be. You pour yourself into someone&mdash;your time, energy, and devotion. You give them everything they need to grow and then they just abandon you. :'''Graham Spaulding''': Are you speaking from experience? :'''Jack''': Sure. You love someone&hellip;you make love to someone&hellip;you give your life to them and then they don't even look at you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': I know about the other boy. :'''Graham Spaulding''': What other boy? :'''Jack''': This kid. The young, scrawny, frightened, lonely kid. The kid who only wanted love and approval. I know his pain. I know that boy. :'''Graham Spaulding''': Do you? :'''Jack''': Yes. I do. And I know that you want to put that boy out of his misery. You know, Graham, your father wasn't a strong man. He wasn't supportive man. He was a weak, cowardly, sadistic bastard. I know he used to touch you and I know you used to beg him to stop. :'''Graham Spaulding''': You believe whatever you want. You don't know anything about my father. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': You know, I've been giving something a lot of thought. It's occurred to me that&hellip;in some ways, I envy you. :'''Graham Spaulding''': You envy me? :'''Jack''': Yes. The power&hellip;that you have with those boys&mdash;what that must feel like. :'''Graham Spaulding''': What boys? :'''Jack''': Andy, Eric Lipinski, Robert Griffith. I know there have been others. :'''Graham Spaulding''': There have been many. :'''Jack''': Do me a favor, Graham. Tell me what it's like&hellip;the moment that you take them out. Tell me. You can see the terror in their eyes, right? You can feel their hearts racing. You can feel the cold sweat under your hands just before you stick the needle in. It must be such a rush. Martin, put the CD in. :''[Martin plays the CD; Moby's "One of These Mornings" begins playing.]'' :'''Jack''': Andy made this CD for Phoebe. He wanted her to think about him when he wasn't there. Is that what you wanted? Is that why you stole it? You wanted to think about him. Is it what you two listened to when you were together? :'''Graham Spaulding''': No. :'''Jack''': No, that's right, that's right. That's right, you never got a chance. You never got a chance to go back to him because he's still out there. He's waiting. It must be hard. It must be hard knowing that he's out there&hellip;waiting. The touch of his skin, the feel of him under you. I understand you, Graham, I do. I've been to that school. I've seen those beautiful boys. Their beautiful bodies&hellip;to hold all that innocence in your arms&hellip;to take&hellip;the power. It must be really frustrating knowing that Andy is out there waiting for you&hellip;waiting&hellip;waiting&hellip;waiting and you can't get back to him. You can't be with him one last time. But I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you fifteen minutes with him, if you tell me where he is. :'''Graham Spaulding''': You'd do that? :'''Jack''': I'll give you fifteen minutes with him&hellip;alone. You can do whatever you want. :'''Graham Spaulding''': Fifteen minutes. :'''Jack''': Whatever you want. ''[They find Andy]'' :'''Graham Spaulding''': Agent Malone, do I get my fifteen minutes now? :'''Jack''': Your fifteen minutes are over. ''[Jack throws up after he walks away from Spalding]'' <hr width="50%"/> === ''Silent Partner'' [1.6] === :'''Jack''': Five A.M.&mdash;Danny's up early. :'''Samantha''': That's assuming he went to bed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': Great. Martin, you're on your way to San Diego to liaise with Danny. :'''Vivian''': ''[to Martin]'' Don't forget your surf gear. :''[Martin leaves.]'' :'''Vivian''': Should we send a referee? :'''Jack''': Nah, let 'em duke it out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jack''': The boys just called from San Diego. Patrick hasn't lived in that corporate apartment for months. :'''Vivian''': There's no hotel charges on his credit card statements. :'''Jack''': Well, Mr. Brooks Brothers's not living out of his car. :'''Vivian''': That's just it. He's only Mr. Brooks Brothers on the east coast. New York, he's Noble, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany's; but in San Diego, it's Denny's and discount outlets. :'''Jack''': Two lives. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': Somewhere far, far away, Martha Stewart weeps. Looks like our boy Patrick went to the mattresses. :''[They knock on a door. A woman answers]'' :'''Danny''': Hi. Sorry to bother you. We're with the FBI. :'''Martin''': ''[holding up a photo]'' Have you seen this man before? :'''Amalia Kent''': Yes. This is my husband. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': A plane is not supposed to be in the sky. It's not natural. :'''Martin''': Neither was that flight attendant and you weren't afraid of her. === ''Snatch Back'' [1.7] === === ''Little Big Man'' [1.8] === === ''In Extremis'' [1.9] === :'''Martin''': Look, profiles aren't flawless but they exist for a reason. I mean, come on, we use them everyday. :'''Samantha''': Oh, look, pediatrics. Maybe he's a pedophile too. === ''Midnight Sun'' [1.10] === :'''Jack''': So what are you thinking? :'''Danny''': He's got an ex-con working for him. Maybe this whole Laundromat, dry-cleaner thing is a front. :'''Jack''': For what? :'''Danny''': I don't know. Drugs, diamonds&hellip;illegal ferrets&hellip; === ''Maple Street'' [1.11] === === ''Underground Railroad'' [1.12] === :''[Danny and Martin are watching a hospital surveillance video.]'' :'''Danny''': We have a doctor, a man in a wheelchair, a pregnant woman that's not her&hellip;a fat guy in a robe, a nurse&hellip; :'''Martin''': Is it important that you narrate? :'''Danny''': You know, I'm sorry, I forgot&hellip;you can't think and listen at the same time, and&hellip; :'''Martin''': That's pretty good for someone who can't think without speaking. === ''Hang On to Me'' [1.13] === === ''The Friendly Skies'' [1.14] === :'''Martin''': She's having guy troubles, blows off her job, heads out for a night on the town. And that bar is a major pick up place. :'''Vivian''': How would you know? :'''Martin''': I hear things. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': ''[Talking about Samantha and Eric Keller]'' Is there something going on between those two? :'''Danny''': Used to be. :'''Martin''': Really? That's her type, huh? :'''Danny''': Hey, are you jealous? :'''Martin''': Jealous? What, are you crazy? :'''Danny''': Okay. Guess I'm crazy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Samantha''': You think it's easy being surrounded by guys with guns all day? :'''Martin''': I thought you liked guys with guns. :'''Samantha''': I like the guns. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': Samantha&hellip;you, uh, you got time to grab a drink? :'''Samantha''': Oh, I've&hellip;I&mdash;I told Keller I'd meet him. But, I mean, you're welcome to come with us if&hellip; :'''Martin''': No, no, that's all right. No, you guys go ahead. Thanks. :'''Samantha''': Okay, well, maybe some other time? :'''Martin''': Yeah, some other time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': Morning, hot stuff. :'''Samantha''': Good morning to you. Late night last night? :'''Danny''': A man's got to do. :'''Samantha''': Yeah? Who's the lucky? :'''Danny''': I don't kiss and tell, you know that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': You and, uh, "Delia"&mdash;fuzzy boundaries. :'''Samantha''': Well, that's how I like my relationships&mdash;nice and complicated. === ''There Goes the Bride'' [1.15] === :''[Jack is talking to an auctioneer after his daughter's kidnapping.]'' :'''Jack''': Why didn't you contact us when you got the call? :'''Mr. Beckworth''': I thought I could handle it myself. :'''Jack''': Yeah, with your extensive knowledge of selling Ming vases? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': I guess love is blind. And deaf. And very, very dumb. :'''Jack''': Spoken like a true romantic. :'''Martin''': What? You going to tell me you still buy into it? :'''Jack''': Sure, marriage, kids, the whole nine yards. ''[Martin looks skeptical]'' I didn't say I was good at it. I just said I was a fan. === ''Clare de Lune'' [1.16] === :'''Danny''': I can understand why you want to be alone. It's nice here. Clare, I understand why you feel the way you do. I lost both my parents when I was eleven. We were driving somewhere and they were fighting. My dad was yelling at my mom. He used to like to yell at my mom. I wanted him to stop, so I said something. Then he turned around, and he yelled at me. That's when the car started to swerve. I never told anybody that. Ever. And I know what it's like to keep a secret. I didn't mean to do anything wrong that day. I was just a kid&hellip; === ''Kam Li'' [1.17] === :'''Martin''': Hi, dad. :'''Victor Fitzgerald''': So how's my boy doing? They giving him a hard time because of his old man? :'''Jack''': I don't know, are we? :'''Martin''': Constantly. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Martin's father has just made a brusque exit.]'' :'''Jack''': Didn't even wait for me to say, "Yes, sir." :'''Martin''': He never does. === ''The Source'' [1.18] === :'''Jack''': Who the hell's Hilary Duff? :'''Maria''': Her, um&hellip;latest obsession. === ''Victory for Humanity'' [1.19] === :'''Martin''': Why is it that no one in a walkup ever lives on the first two floors? :'''Danny''': Vampires. :'''Martin''': Really? :'''Danny''': Yeah, they have all the lower apartments all to themselves. :'''Martin''': No direct sunlight, right? :'''Danny''': Exactly. Plus, they live to be 106 years old, so the apartments never turn around. :'''Martin''': Oh, that's good to know. === ''No Mas'' [1.20] === :'''Danny''': ''[to a suspect]'' That's 100 points for lying to a federal officer. :'''Samantha''': Don't stop now, you almost have enough for the dinette set. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': I gotta tell you, I don't understand why anyone would come all the way out here just to get in shape. I got 19 gyms a block away from my apartment&hellip; :'''Samantha''': You also have three Gentleman's Clubs within walking distance. :'''Danny''': Yes. I like a little variety in my workout. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Samantha''': You train every waking hour, you get beat in the head for a living, all the money you win gets stolen by some corrupt manager, and the benefits are what? Getting to wear satin shorts to work? :'''Danny''': Don't knock it 'til you try it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vivian''': Buying a dream house, talking about starting a family&hellip; Doesn't sound like a guy who was planning to run. :'''Martin''': Want to know the part I heard?

Created by the team of [[w:Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker|Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker]] it later went on to form the basis of their "Naked Gun" series of feature films. The basic premise was a spoof of [[w:Quinn Martin|Quinn Martin]] police dramas. == Season 1 == === ''[[w:A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise)|A Substantial Gift]]'' [1.01]=== :''[Frank is driving around the city at night with a laundry basket in the seat next to him]'' :'''[[w:Frank Drebin|Frank]]''': My name is Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant, Police Squad. There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the West Side. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate holdups of neighborhood credit unions. I was across town doing my laundry when I got the call on the double killing. It took me twenty minutes to get there. My boss was already on the scene. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Frank and Ed are interviewing a witness to a shooting]'' :'''Sally''': Well, I first heard the shot, and as I turned, Jim fell. :'''Frank''': Jim Fell's the teller? :'''Sally''': No, Jim Johnson. :'''Frank''': Who's Jim Fell? :'''Ed''': He's the auditor, Frank. :'''Sally''': He had the flu, so Jim... filled in. :'''Frank''': Phil who? :'''Ed''': Phil Din.

Let me show you what we did. These guns are identical to the one that killed Jim Johnson. Watch carefully as I test-fire this gun into these videotapes of Barbara Walters' interviews. As you can see, it completely destroys the Burt Reynolds interview, and everything from Bo Derek to Paul Newman. But only up to the point where Barbara asks "Is it difficult to love?" Now, let me show you what happens when the gun is fired from 3', which is the distance Sally claims the shots were fired from. Notice? Complete destruction, right up to the point where she asks Katherine Hepburn what kind of tree she'd like to be. === ''[[w:Ring of Fear (A Dangerous Assignment)|Ring of Fear]]'' [1.02] === :''[Acting as a coach to a boxer, Frank takes a [[w:saxophone|saxophone]] away from Buddy]'' :'''Frank''': Sorry, Buddy.

I didn't realize how long I was in Chinatown. Did Jeremy call? :'''Prue''': No, but he had some roses and a package delivered. What were you doing in Chinatown? I through that you had an interview at North Beach. :'''Piper''': I did, but later I went to YoungLi market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow. :'''Prue''': So that Wolfgang cook did not hire you today? :'''Piper''': No, but this just may get me the job. :'''Prue''': Jeremy sent you port? :'''Piper''': It's the ultimate ingredient for my recipe. :'''Prue''': Nice boyfriend. :'''Piper''': Oh my God.

She's moving back in with us. :'''Prue''': You've got to be kidding. :'''Piper''': Well, I could hardly say no. It's her house too; it was willed to all of us. :'''Prue''': Yeah, months ago. And we haven't seen her or spoken to her since. :'''Piper''': Well, you haven't spoken to her. :'''Prue''': No, I haven't. Maybe you forgot why I'm so mad at her. :'''Piper''': Well, of course not, but she had nowhere else to go. She lost her job, she's in debt. :'''Prue''': And this is news? How long have you known about this anyway? :'''Piper''': A couple of days. Maybe a week, or two... :'''Prue''': Thanks for sharing.

I grew up here, too. So, can we talk about what's really bothering you? :'''Prue''': No, I'm still furious with you. :'''Phoebe''': So, you'd rather have a tense reunion filled with boring chitchat and unimportant small talk? :'''Prue''': No, but otherwise we won't have anything to talk about. :'''Phoebe''': I never touched Roger. :'''Prue''': Whoa! :'''Phoebe''': I know you think otherwise because that's what that Armani-wearing-chardonnay-slugging-trust-funder told you, but... :'''Piper''': Hey! I have a great idea! Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner? :'''Prue''': I'm not hungry. :'''Phoebe''': Ate on the bus. :'''Piper''': Okay, we'll try a group hug later. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': I forgot your question. :'''Piper''': I asked if Prue was going to have sex with someone other than herself this year. :'''Phoebe''': That's disgusting.

I think I deserve 15 minutes of channel surfing. :'''Piper''': Who wants coffee? :'''Prue''': I'll grind. :'''Phoebe''': ''(gasps)'' :'''Prue''': Phoebe, are you okay? :'''Piper''': Take a deep breathe, honey. It's all right. :'''Phoebe''': No, it's not. I saw my future. I was being executed. Burned alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Why would a report about baseball player trigger a premonition like that? :'''Phoebe''': I don't know. All I know is that I could feel it. I could feel the fire. :'''Piper''': And we were just standing there? That can't be right. :'''Phoebe''': That's what I saw. :'''Prue''': There's no way that we would let that happen. Not in the past, present or future. :'''Phoebe''': What did I do? Or, what is it that I'm going to do? :'''Piper''': That's Leo, I'll get that. ''(she opens the door)'' Hey, stranger. :'''[[w:Leo Wyatt|Leo]]''': Is that what I am now? :'''Piper''': Mhm. Playing hooky? :'''Leo''': Well, they're making me work tonight, so I got the afternoon off. :'''Piper''': Mmm, the old "gotta save the world" excuse again? :'''Leo''': Oh, like you've never had to use it. ''(Piper hesitates)'' You're about to use it. :'''Piper''': Well, there is just something I have to do. Maybe you could... :'''Leo''': ''(jingling, Leo looks up)'' Now? :'''Piper''': Leo? :'''Leo''': That's okay, I...You go, there's actually something I have take care, so... :'''Piper''': Well, we really need to talk about things, you know about... where we stand. :'''Leo''': Yeah, we do. Rain check? :'''Piper''': That's what we do best. ''(they kiss, but Leo orbs mid-kiss)'' I hate when he does that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prue''': ''(going up to the attic)'' So, what did he want? :'''Piper''': To cancel our date. He's working late, again. :'''Phoebe''': You didn't ask him what we should do? :'''Piper''': He had to fly, literally. The pages are doing that flipping thing on their own again. :'''Prue''': It's a spell to take us to the future. :'''Piper''': Two, actually. One to send us and one to bring us home. But, apparently we only get one shot. Once we use it, they disappear. :'''Phoebe''': Wait a minute you guys. We almost died going back to the past, this is not something that you just do. :'''Prue''': We're talking about your life, Phoebe. :'''Phoebe''': And I'm talking about yours, Prue. I'm just saying, I think that we should think this over a little bit. :'''Prue''': Look, you had that premonition today for a reason. It must mean we're supposed to do something about it. And, going in the future may be the only way to find out what you did to put you on that pyre. :'''Phoebe''': How do you know it's something that I did? I mean, it might be a demon or a warlock that puts me there. :'''Prue''': Do you really wanna wait to find out? Okay, pack your bags. We go, try and figure out what happened, and hopefully come back with enough information to stop it. We're gonna need a date, Phoebe. :'''Phoebe''': Uh, February 12th 2009. That's two weeks before the date I saw in my premonition. :'''Prue''': All right, that should give to us more than enough time to figure out what put you there. :'''Piper''': I wonder how I look. :'''Phoebe''': Piper, you look great. This is hardly the time to... :'''Piper''': Not now, in the future. When we were back to the seventies we saw ourselves as kids, and now we'll be seeing ourselves walking around ten years older? All the vanquishing? Think about the wear and tear. :'''Prue''': Okay, well... :'''Prue''': ''Hear these words, hear the rhyme,'' :'''Piper''': ''We send to you this burning sign,'' :'''Phoebe''': ''Then our future selves we'll find,'' :'''Prue''': ''In another place and time.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Melinda''': Mommy, mommy, mommy! :'''Piper''': Uh, you... I think you have the wrong house. Certainly the wrong mommy. :'''Melinda''': Stop fooling! Carpool! '' :''(Piper sees newscast about Phoebe)'' :'''Piper''': Phoebe? Where's the volume? :'''TV''': Command recognized. :'''Melinda''': Mommy, I'm gonna be late! :'''Piper''': Uh, okay! Um...TV, shut up! Mute! Something. ''(she walks to the door)'' :'''Carpool Neighbor''': Morning, Piper. You alright? :'''Piper''': I guess. :'''Carpool Neighbor''': Yeah, it's a... with your sister, it's rough, I know. So, don't worry about your little one. I'll get her to school like you asked but uh, you sure you want me to take her to your ex's? :'''Piper''': Ex? As in husband? As in mine? Yes, if that is what I told you, then yes. :'''Carpool Neighbor''': So, you and he are getting along better now? :'''Piper''': Maybe. Prue? Prue?! :'''Carpool Neighbor''': Okay, let's hit the road. :'''Melinda''': ''(She goes, but turns back, and whispers)'' Don't worry, mommy. I promise I'll do what you asked. I won't use my magic again, ever. :''(Piper goes outside and watches them drive off. A limo pulls up. Prue and her assistants get out of the limo. They fuss over her by brushing and touching her.)'' :'''Prue''': Hey, hey, people. Okay, enough! People stop touching me! Stay, stay. :'''Piper''': Prue, what's going on? :'''Prue''': I don't know, but I could really get used to it. I mean, check me out. I don't just work at Bucklands, I own it. And three more. Paris, Tokyo and London. :'''Piper''': And you're blonde. :'''Prue''': Yeah, strange. :'''Piper''': Wait, you had time to get to work already? :'''Prue''': Well, actually, I woke up there but it was amazing. I had all these assistants and this huge office. And I have a chauffeur and he's so totally hot. Uh... How'd you do? :''(Piper ironically laughs)'' :'''Prue''': Is that a good thing or...? :''(Piper and Prue get in the house)'' :'''Piper''': Well if you ignore my apparently failed marriage and the fact that I'm still living in the manor... :'''Prue''': Wait, you are married? :'''Piper''': Was. My daughter is on her way... :'''Prue''': Wait. Stop right there. You have a daughter? :'''Piper''': Yeah. And, and, and... she's... she's beautiful. :'''Prue''': Oh, of course she is. What's her name? :'''Piper''': Oh God! I don't know. But Prue, she... she has powers. But for some reason I told her not to use them. Why would I do that? :'''Prue''': Uh, speaking of why... Why are we in our future bodies? I mean, I thought we were just supposed to come here and see them. :'''Piper''': Well, apparently going to the past isn't the same as going to the future. I just wish that, since we are in our future bodies, we could have some memory of what's happened in the last ten years, like how I got a daughter! :'''Prue''': Okay, wait a second. If I'm in my future body, and you are in your future body, then that means that Phoebe... :'''Piper''': Oh, TV! Louder, louder! :'''TV''': Command recognized. :''(in the middle of TV report)'' :'''Piper''': Eight hours? We were supposed to be here two weeks before! :'''Prue''': Shhhh! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prue''': Oh, surprise! Here we go, up the stairs, into the attic, grabing the Book of Shadows. Please tell me we're still not gonna be doing this in ten years! :'''Piper''': Apparently not. :'''Prue''': What? :'''Piper''': The Book is gone. :'''Prue''': There's gotta be here. We need it to find a return spell. :'''Piper''': Prue... :'''Prue''': Piper, just help me look for it. :'''Piper''': Okay, relax, we'll find it. :'''Prue''': You don't know that! I mean, what if it's lost? What if we can't find it? Then we're stuck in our future bodies, with no way of getting out of them, and no way of saving Phoebe! :''(Prue blows up things on the attic with her improved telekinisis.)'' :'''Piper''': Uh... Been working out? :'''Prue''': Well, I guess that's a little example of what ten years does to our powers. :'''Piper''': And to our attic! :'''Prue''': Hm. :'''Piper''': The key. :'''Prue''': It's the key of my wallsafe at Bucklands. :'''Piper''': Do you think that means it's there? We've never taken the Book out of the house before. :'''Prue''': Yeah, we haven't, but maybe our future selves have. The question is why. :'''Piper''': We don't even know what we're like in this time for let alone what we think. But if the Book is at Bucklands maybe it will give us some answers. :'''Prue'''. All right, then we go there first, then to Phoebe, to see if she's alright. Sorry about the mess. :'''Piper''': Mhm... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': I can't believe you get a limo and a driver, and I still got my same old car. :'''Prue''': You have a husband. :'''Piper''': Had a husband, you mean. I'm getting divorced, remember? And how do you know you don't have a guy in this time? I mean, after all, I have a kid and an ex, you could have several. :'''Prue''': Ex's? :'''Piper''': No, kids. I mean, we're in a future, but with no memory of the past ten years. I don't even know who my ex husband... :''(A man holding a cup of coffee bumps into someone and Piper freezes him before it spills. They look around and notice everything is frozen.)'' :'''Prue''': Okay, apparently my power isn't the only one that's grown. You just froze... :'''Piper''': Everything! What a difference a decade makes. :'''Leo''': What the hell are you doing?! :'''Piper''': Leo, I'm so glad you're here. I have so many... ''(She goes to hug him but he backs away.)'' Uh...what's wrong? :'''Leo''': You know, I knew you'd do something stupid like this. You used you magic in public. What's the matter with you? Are you insane? :'''Piper''': Uh, Leo... :'''Prue''': Remember, he thinks we know what's going on. :'''Leo''': You wanna end up like your sister? Huh? We had an agreement. No using magic for Melinda's sake. :'''Piper''': Melinda? :'''Leo''': Our daughter. What's wrong with you? :'''Piper''': ''Our'' daughter? :'''Prue''': Wait a second, you're Piper's ex? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Prue? Piper? :'''Pratt''': They haven't been to visit you before. Why would they come now? No... They're going to be as happy to get rid of you as I am. :'''Phoebe''': Who are you? :'''Pratt''': ''(laughs)'' I'm sorry, it's been so long since my last visit. Executions are bitched to plan: logistics, alerting the media, gathering the kindling. :'''Phoebe''': Uh... you know, I've had a lot of time to do some thinking about... why I'm here. :'''Pratt''': Well... no matter thinking will change the outcome. Justice will be served for your crime. :'''Phoebe''': But it wasn't really a big crime, was it? :'''Pratt''': You are truly evil. What bigger crime is there than taking a man's life? :'''Phoebe''': ''(seems shocked)'' I killed someone? :'''Pratt''': ''(laughs)'' Phoebe, what is this? An atempt to stay your execution? Play insanity? Won't work. You have five hours to live - tik tok. :'''Phoebe''': What? Five hours? But that's not possible. :'''Pratt''': Well... I'm happy to see the seriousness of your crime has finally hit you. See... you represent everything I apore. You're a threat. A danger to everything that is good and pure in our world. :'''Phoebe''': You're talking out of fear. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it evil. :'''Pratt''': No, it's you who doesn't understand! You killed the man using your power, and now you're gonna die because of it! I only wish that I can burn all of your kind with you! But don't worry... in time I will. This is only the beginning. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Leo''': Nobody's gonna rescue you. :'''Phoebe''': If that is some kind of Whitelighter humor, let me be the first to tell you, you are not a very funny race of people. :'''Leo''': I wish you remembered what you'd done. It'd make this so much easier. Your future self used witchcraft for vengeance, Phoebe. Pratt is using that as a platform. :'''Phoebe''': Why does everyone think I killed someone? I wouldn't. I mean, I couldn't. What did I do? Premonition the man to death? My power is passive. :'''Leo''': Not in the future. It's grown. It's changed. As have you. Which means unfortunately you have to suffer to consequences. :'''Phoebe''': I don't believe it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': What is it? What's wrong? :'''Prue''': I have no one to say goodbye to. My life...they didn't even know who you were at the office, my own sister. If we die tonight, my tombstone will read "Here lies Prue, she worked hard." :'''Piper''': We're not gonna die. We're gonna find a way back to the present and we'll create a new future. :'''Prue''': What if we can't? What if we can never get home? According to Phoebe's premonition we fail. :'''Piper''': Our future selves fail. We still got a shot. :'''Prue''': You're right, you're right. Let's go get Phoebe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pratt''': Let today be a lesson to all those who would seek to defy human nature with their way of life. Let today serve notice that black magic will not be tolerated in our society, and let today be remembered as the day we ''burned the witch''! :'''Prue''': Piper, freeze him! :'''Phoebe''': Prue! Piper! :'''Piper''': Come on, we're getting you out of here. :'''Phoebe''': No, wait. You can't. Prue, I'm serious. :'''Prue''': What are you talking about? :'''Phoebe''': You guys have to leave. I...deserve to be here. Or, my future self does. :'''Piper''': But, you killed a ''killer''. Don't be ridiculous. :'''Prue''': Look, this is Pratt's personal crusade. This isn't about us, this is about him. Wherever we go, he will follow us. He will hunt us. He will hunt our families. If anybody should be punished, it should be him. ''(she stops, and raises her hand to move Pratt onto the pyre)'' :'''Phoebe''': Prue, what are you doing?! :'''Prue''': ''(she stares at her hand, and back at Pratt)'' Saving the future for good witches, and our future. :'''Phoebe''': ''(grabs Prue's arm)'' Prue, wait! ''(Prue looks at her)'' Don't. Don't become a murderer too. It has to end with me. ''(Prue lowers her hand)'' :'''Piper''': Phoebe, he was ''evil''. He deserved what you— :'''Phoebe''': ''(starting to cry)'' Wrong thing done for the right reason...still the wrong thing. Our job is to protect the innocent...not punish the guilty, and...I crossed that line, and I know that. And now you guys have to know that too. :'''Prue''': We are not leaving here without you. :'''Phoebe''': Prue, we were sent here for a reason. Maybe not to stop this, like what we thought, but maybe to understand why this has to happen. Why you have to let this happen. ''(openly crying now)'' I don't wanna die, but I don't want you to die because of me. ''(they hug, and Phoebe begins sobbing)'' I love you. ''(she goes back to the pyre, and nods for Piper to unfreeze Pratt, which Piper does. She screams in pain as she burns).'' === ''The Painted World'' === :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': What? :'''[[w:Prue Halliwell|Prue]]''': We were talking? :'''Piper''': I know. About a man in a painting. Listen to this one. "Hallway near club entrance too narrow"? :'''Prue''': I thought that we had discussed your code violations. :'''Piper''': Well, I keep finding more. The plumbing, the electrical, the heating, it...none of it is up code. :'''Prue''': Stop. You’re obsessing. :'''Piper''': Well, it runs in the family. :'''Prue''': I don't obsess. I think... intensely... anyway, I can't really help it. I mean, we've seen so many bizarre things, why not a man in a painting. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Dan Gordon|Dan]]''': Ok, then, um, I'll tell you what I can do. I'll check out the code violations. See how serious they really are. If you'll help me with the promise I made Jenny. :'''Piper''': Deal. Wait... Uh, what's the promise? :'''Dan''': She needs help with a paper. It's for a bio class, something with the human reproductive system. :'''Piper''': You mean sex? :'''Dan''': It's just way too awkward for me to talk with my niece about. :'''Piper''': Yeah, huh...Sure, not to worry! I have plenty of experience. :'''Dan''': Really! With sex. :'''Piper''': No! I mean.. talking about it. Yeah! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]]''': ::Spirits send the words, from all across the land;<br> ::Allow me to absorb them, through the touch of either hand.<br> ::For twenty-four hours, from seven to seven,<br> ::I will understand all meaning of the words from here to heaven.<br> ::And, uh, p.s. there will be no personal gain. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm''': I always hoped someone would get my SOS, but I never thought it would be a woman. :'''Prue''': What, a woman can't rescue a man? :'''Malcolm''': I'm still waiting. :'''Prue''': Yeah well keep waiting pal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Wait. What does this mean? "Absolvo Amitto Amplus Brevis Semper Mea". Phoebe! Help! :'''Phoebe''': Piper, no! :'''Piper''': Phoebeee! :'''Phoebe''': Piper? :'''Piper''': Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! :'''Prue''': Piper? :'''Piper''': What the hell is happening? Where are we? :'''Prue''': All right, hurry. Just get to the bookcase fast. :'''Piper''': Whahhh! :'''Prue''': Watch out. :'''Piper''': Uhh!!! Whoa!!! Whoa!!! Wow!!! :'''Malcolm''': Don't tell me she's the sister witch who was gonna save us. === ''The Devil's Music'' === :'''Chris Barker''': Speaking of getting off the ground, that plane trip to Paris is still on open for discussion isn't it? Hasn't that raincheck burned a hole in your pocket by now? :'''[[w:Prue Halliwell|Prue]]''': Look I really appreciate your offer :'''Chris Barker''': It's not an offer Prue, it's a dinner request. :'''Prue''': In Paris! :'''Chris Barker''':You know what they call french bread in France? :'''Prue''': Bread. :'''Chris Barker''': Exactly! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': Phoebe, we can't even give our cat a vitamin, how are we going to get this down a demon's throat? :'''[[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]]''': In this. :'''Piper''': What is that? :'''Phoebe''': It's a balloon. :'''Piper''': Okay, where is it? :'''Phoebe''': Where's what? :'''Piper''': The spoonful of sugar big enough to hide that thing. :'''Phoebe''': You're looking at her. === ''She's a Man, Baby, a Man!'' === :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': Lives are at stake Prue, innocent men are going to die.

Okay, I look ridiculous, I am wearing clothes from the ex-boyfriends pile, I have hair in strange places and I have a PENIS! ''(as Phoebe starts giggling)'' This is so not funny! :'''[[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]]''': Hahahaha. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dating service worker''': What do you look for in a woman? :'''[[w:Dan Gordon|Dan]]''': What do I look for? I don't know, I'm old-fashioned I guess, I look for the girl next door. Someone with a good heart, and personality and looks to match. The kind of girl that, when I leave for work in the morning, I wait just a little bit 'till she leaves for work too, just to catch a glimpse of that long dark hair and great smile. Hoping that maybe, one day, she'll notice that I'm watching and she'll smile back at me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': It didn't start happening until she sucker-punched Owen. :'''Prue''': Well you had a problem, I fixed it. :'''Phoebe''': Oh, you bet your butt you did. You nearly broke his jaw. :'''Prue''': I saved his life. Look, you're the one who told me I had to practice being a man, right, so I acted on instinct. And to tell you the truth, the moment I hit him, I felt powerful and strong like somehow that made me a man. :'''Piper''': You want to know how to be a real man, look at Dan. Honest, kind, good heart. The type of guy who would risk being late for work just to make you smile, not some bully who walks around thinking one punch is going to change anything. :'''Prue''': She learned all that just from looking out a window. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Oh yeah, nice body, great tan. :'''Prue''': Awesome truck. :'''Phoebe''': You know I think you really are becoming a man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prue''': She knocked me out guys, I mean really, it was like I was in a trance, I was weak in the knees.

How is that fair? :'''Prue''': It’s not. None of this is. Mom’s death, Sam’s guilt.

Look, Piper, he's been mortal for what? A couple of weeks now? I mean, I felt bad for him. He doesn't know anybody and it's not like there's a fallen Whitelighters support group to join or anything. :'''Piper''': Prue, I'm not upset with you.

Now, we have to get some rest, Prue will never forgive us if we look bad at her funeral. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Paige Matthews|Paige]]''': I'm so sorry for your lost. :'''Phoebe''': Thank you. How did you know Prue? From work? :'''Paige''': No. Just from around. You know... :'''Phoebe''': Have we met before? :'''Paige''': No, I don't... I don't think so. Anyway, my condolences. :'''Phoebe''': Thank you. ''(She shakes Paige's hand -- then gets hit with a powerful premonition: Paige is on a skyscraper rooftop helipad. She screams as she squeezes her eyes shut in fear as the demon Shax gestures and sends a concessive blast toward her to kill her. She stumbles to the floor after her premonition ends.)'' :'''Piper''': Phoebe! :'''[[w:Leo Wyatt|Leo]]''': Phoebe? :''(Piper, Leo, Victor, and Cole rush over to her as Paige, oblivious, but not wanting to stick around, leaves. Leo and Victor help Phoebe stand up.)'' :'''Piper''': Are you all right? :'''Phoebe''': I saw him! The demon that killed Prue. :'''Leo''': Shax? What was he doing? :'''Phoebe''': He was killing that girl. :'''Piper''': What girl? :'''Phoebe''': The one who I was just talking to. I gotta go find her! :''(Bounty Hunters 2 suddenly materialize on either side of Cole and immediately fire lightning bolts at him. Cole dives, just barely avoiding the bolts, which blow up the altar.)'' :'''Leo''': Go! Go! :''(Leo pulls her behind a pillar for safety. Victor looks on in disbelief. Cole rolls, comes up firing, vanquishing Bounty Hunter #2, but Bounty Hunter #3 appears. Before he can kill Cole, though, Phoebe runs up and knocks him to the ground with an expert martial arts move. She then hides behind a statue.)'' :'''Piper''': Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Damnit! This is Prue's funeral for God's sake! Can we at least bury her in peace?! Is that too much to ask?! :''(She knocks over a vase of flowers. She then storms out in tears.)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': I don't see her anywhere. :'''Leo''': Who? :'''Phoebe''': The girl from my preminition. :''(A passing mourner, overhearing that, quietly reacts. Leo, seeing that, pulls Phoebe to the main stairs, where they can have some privacy.)'' :'''Leo''': Phoebe, you gotta be more careful. :'''Phoebe''': I'm sorry. :'''[[w:Cole Turner|Cole]]''': You sure don't recognize her from anywhere? :'''Phoebe''': Well, she did look familiar like I've seen her somewhere before. But somehow, we got to find her before nightfall, or else… :''(Phoebe slides a flower vase over an inch, then back again. Cole gently grabs her arm with a concerned look.)'' :'''Cole''': Honey, what are you doing? :'''Phoebe''': Uh, cleaning. :'''Cole''': But you don't clean. You hate cleaning. :'''Phoebe''': I know. But it's better than falling apart, right? :'''Leo''': Maybe you should just try and focus on a girl, you said she was attacked on a rooftop? :'''Phoebe''': Yeah, one with the helipad. But it wasn't a tall building, although, there were a lot of taller ones around it. :'''Leo''': Okay, so we just need to figure out which building it was before Shax does. :'''Piper''': And do what exatly? You can't defeat Shax, not without the Power of Three. :'''Phoebe''': But you and Prue did. :'''Piper''': That's because Prue was the strongest. Trying to do without her will be suicide. :'''Phoebe''': Maybe so. But I got that premonition today for a reason, Piper. That girl is our innocent. So we have to try and save her. :'''Piper''': Says who?! Why do we have to? :'''Leo''': Piper... :'''Piper''': What? Do you really expect us to keep doing this stuff, after what happened, to keep risking our lives?! Do they?! :'''Leo''': Piper, keep your voice down... :'''Piper''': No, Leo, I won't! I don't want to do this anymore, okay? It's over! You can tell them we buried their precious Charmed Ones when we buried our sister. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Grams! :'''[[w:Penny Halliwell|Grams]]''': Hello, my darling. How are you? :'''Piper''': How am I? Are you kidding? Do you guys not get the news up there? :'''Grams''': I meant... How are you holding up? :'''Piper''': Not very well. I'm a little...lost. Why didn't you come before when I called after...? :'''Grams''': I couldn't, Piper. I was... busy. :'''Piper''': You were busy? :'''Grams''': I was with Prue. :'''Piper''': Oh, of course you were, that makes sense. Is she okay? :'''Grams''': Your mother and I are helping her through this. :'''Piper''': But how is she? :'''Grams''': I'm not allow to tell you now, just like you're not allow to see her. At least not for a while, anyway. :'''Piper''': Why? :'''Grams''': Because seeing Prue right now, speaking to her, keeps her alive for you. Which keeps you from being able to move on with your life... to continue your destiny. :'''Piper''': What destiny?! Okay, it's over, it's done, Prue is gone, and I... :'''Grams''': I know, sweetie, I know. But if there's one thing you learned over the last three years it's that there's always a reason for everything. Which means, there's a reason for this, too. Your destiny still awaits. Blessed be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': I'm not angry. I am pissed off! Don't you understand? You healed the wrong sister! You saved me because I'm your damn wife, and you should've saved her because she was the best! Because she... you should... Why did they put us through so much for it to end this way? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': She's been there my whole life. I've always had a big sister. And I don't know how to live without one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paige''': Oh, never mind. It's boring. All right, but if I tell you all about Paige and you use it against me, I will get out my voodoo doll and make you sorry you're a man. So my sad story is that I'm adopted, only it's not so sad because I loved my parents, God rest. So after they died, I went searching for my birth mother, hoping to get some answers. I went to the police station, found the church where I was dumped at… I checked around. I figured she must've lived near here, you know? They even thought I might've been… related to the Halliwell sisters for a minute, but their Mom died a long time ago, so I gave up on that. :'''Shane''': Well, did you ever meet the sisters, ask them about it or… :'''Paige''': Yeah right. "Hi. I think your Mom might've abandoned me at birth. What's for dinner?" No. I don't think so. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Hey, you okay? :'''Piper''': Yeah, sure, why not? We could have another funeral tomorrow. I mean, all the dishes are out, and we pretty much know who to invite. :'''Phoebe''': Piper... :'''Piper''': Just tell me one thing. Are you insane or are you just plain stupid? We bury Prue this morning and you go off tonight and nearly join her. What the hell is the matter with you?! :'''Phoebe''': I was trying to save the innocent. :'''Piper''': No. You were trying to get yourself killed, which is what this family does best is get killed. Isn't it obvious by now that our only destiny is to die? And you are making it way too easy for them, Phoebe. You are just walking right into it! :'''Phoebe''': I am so sorry. :'''Piper''': I can not handle anything right now and I certainly cannot handle losing another sister. <hr width="50%"/> :''(finding out that there is a possibility that the Charmed Ones can be reconstituted following Prue's death, Piper furiously marches up to the attic)'' :'''Phoebe''': What's going on? :'''Piper''': I'm going to ask Grams what's going on, actually. :'''Phoebe''': Grams? :'''Piper''': Mm-hmm! Your destiny still ''awaits'', she says. There's a reason for ''everything'', she says. So now it's time to summon her transparent butt back here and find out exactly what that ''reason'' is! :'''Phoebe''': Okay, but what would... :'''Piper''': ''(tensely reciting the spell, interrupting Phoebe loudly)'' Hear these words, hear my cry, spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee, ''(angrily)'' ''cross now the Great DIVIDE!'' :'''Grams''': Piper, why are you calling? Phoebe? What's going on? <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Patty Halliwell|Patty]]''': It happened after your father and I were divorced, when Sam and I were together. :'''Cole''': Sam? :'''Leo''': Her whitelighter. :'''Cole''': Hmm. Apples don't fall far from the forbidden tree, I see. :'''Piper''': ''Shh!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grams''': Alright, fine, You've caught us, congratulations! So what are you going to do about us, shoot us? :'''Phoebe''': Easy, Grams! Not all of us are dead, remember? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cole''': And I thought my family was screwed up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': ...We call the spirits to help undo and send him off to… Timbuktu! Woah, it worked! :'''Piper''': Timbuktu? You sent him to Timbuktu?! :'''Phoebe''': It was the only thing I could think of that rhymed with 'undo'. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Yeah, I'm angry, um, I'm confused, and you know what, this, this is just crazy! You cannot float in here after all these years and go, 'Oh gosh, I forgot, by the way, you've got a ''sister''!' Especially NOT today of all days!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': It's not enough. Shax was just the messenger. We need to get The Source. :'''Paige''': The Source of what? :'''Piper''': Of All Evil. === '' Charmed Again, Pt 2 '' === :'''[[w:Leo Wyatt|Leo]]''': It's kind of hard to heal myself when I'm knocked out. :'''[[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]]''': Leo, how is possible for an angel to even get knocked out? I mean, you are, after all, technically dead. :'''Leo''': Three years together, and now you're asking these questions? :'''Phoebe''': Well… :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': I think the more appropriate question is, how does a whitelighter get somebody knocked up? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Sister witch. :'''Piper''': Half-witch, half-whitelighter. Let's not forget that little surprise. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Paige Matthews|Paige]]''': Let's just say, when I wanted to find out who I was, I didn't want to find out I was a freak. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Cowan''': This is none of your business. You're an assisstant, not a social worker. :'''Paige''': That's because you're too cheap to make me one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': So, perhaps the whitelighter in her makes it work differently. :'''Piper''': Half breed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': I guess blood's a little thicker than evil. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Why did you come to Prue's funeral? I mean, you never even met her right? :'''Paige''': No, I never did. I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, but, I just feel like part of me lost her too. I just.. I felt drawn to her, to all you guys. I guess it was just part of me trying to find out who I was. === '' Hell Hath No Fury '' === :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': Okay, turn left up here. And can you step on the gas a little? :''(makes a sharp turn and almost collides with a taxi cab.)'' :'''[[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]]''': Off the gas! Off the gas! :'''[[w:Cole Turner|Cole]]''': Does somebody else want to drive here? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Two witches and a half-a-demon does not the power of three make. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Leo Wyatt|Leo]]''': Piper, I can't help you unless you talk to me. :'''Piper''': It hurts to talk, Leo... it hurts to ''breathe''...so unless you know some way of how to bring Prue back, I don't wanna talk right now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Instead of teaching Paige how to be a witch, we're out hunting for every Tom, Dick and Beelzebub in San Francisco. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cole''': If it's the Source, I'll just ask him to come back later. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Piper, Cole's right. We have a system for fighting demons and it's worked pretty well for the last three years. :'''Piper''': I think, uh, Prue being killed counts as a pretty big glitch in the system. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cole''': She has no regard for her life, or anyone else's. She's [[w:Charles Bronson|Charles Bronson]] cubed. :'''Leo''': I said I'd talk to her. :'''Phoebe''': Guys, guys. Who is Charles Bronson? :''(Leo and Cole look at each other incredulously)'' :'''Phoebe''': Never mind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Evil got the Book of Shadows. How did evil get the Book of Shadows? :'''Phoebe''': Oh no. :'''Piper''': Oh no, Phoebe? Evil got the Book of Shadows, 'oh no' doesn't quite cover it. :'''Cole''': Let me go see what I can find out... ''(stopped by Phoebe)'' :'''Phoebe''': No, wait... Uh, Piper? Promise me you're not gonna over-react. :'''Piper''': Is that even possible? :'''Phoebe''': I ''think'' that, uh, maybe... ''(gulps)'' well, it might-might be ''feasible'' that, uh, ''(takes in a deep breath)'' Paige... ''borrowed'' the book. :'''Piper''': What? Why-why... why... Why would you think that?! :'''Phoebe''': See, now, this is what I meant by over-reacting, it's just that I... :'''Cole''': You let Paige take the Book of Shadows out of the manor. :'''Phoebe''': Well, ''no'', I did not ''let'' her! It's just she ''left'' pretty quick and... it looks like she might've... ''(points to the open attic window)'' :'''Piper''': ''Out'' of the window?! :'''Phoebe''': Piper, I... :'''Piper''': Phoebe, why would you even leave her ''alone'' with it?! :'''Phoebe''': Well, because she's our sister. :'''Piper''': ''(chuckles, then stops abruptly)'' ''Not'' for long! ''(stalks out)'' :''(Phoebe follows Piper out of the door, only to return again to Cole, who is sitting on a chair)'' :'''Phoebe''': Aren't you coming? :'''Cole''': To vanquish your sister?

It's ''all right'' to hate her. :''(Piper shakes her head once and turns to leave, angrily pulling against chained doors.)'' :'''Paige''': You ''should'' hate her. When my parents died, I hated them. I was alone, and I ''hated'' them. It is ''okay'' to hate Prue! :'''Piper''': ''(seemingly to Paige)'' How ''dare'' you! ''(suddenly turns and begins to beat her hands against Prue's gravestone)'' How dare you ''leave'' me! How could you go and ''die'' and leave me here all ''alone'', please come back! I need you, please come back... ''(breaks down sobbing while turning back human)'' :'''Leo''': It's okay, it's gonna be okay, honey. :'''Piper''': It's not 'okay', she risked her life every day and she never thought about what would happen to me and Phoebe if she was gone. :'''Leo''': I know... :'''Piper''': How could she think... that I could live without her? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': So, how scary was I? :'''Phoebe''': Heck, I've seen worse. I've ''been'' worse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': With everything that happens in our lives, love just feels like an invitation for more pain. :'''Phoebe''': Well... maybe you don't start with love. Maybe you just start with 'thanks'. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': ''(noticing Paige's scratch)'' You know, Leo could fix that for you. :'''Paige''': It's my first war wound, think I'll wear it with pride. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paige''': It'll never be okay that she's gone, Piper. But I promise it will get better. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Paige, there are rules to being a witch, rules that you will have to learn and follow. :'''Paige''': Well, not to be difficult, but... you're married to our Whitelighter and Phoebe's shacking up with a demon.

Faces all fade away, it's the taste you remember. :'''Paige''': And what was I, fast food? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Maybe this is more than just being run down. Maybe you're pregnant. :'''Phoebe''': That is funny. Actually, it's not so funny.. I went to the drugstore, I got a test, a peed on a stick and I anxiously awaited the results in two minutes. :'''Piper''': And? :'''Phoebe''': And, it was negative, thankfully. :'''Piper''': Yeah, well, mine was too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': I left the manor, not the family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Manticore? :'''Phoebe''': Bites, but doesn't fly. :'''Piper''': Phoenix? :'''Phoebe''': Flies, but doesn't bite. :'''Piper''': Chupacabra! :'''Phoebe''' ''(laughs)'': God bless you! Flies and bites, but only attacks livestock. === '' We're Off to See the Wizard '' === :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': We only know that Cole is dealing with demons, not that he is a demon. :'''[[w:Paige Matthews|Paige]]''': If it looks like a demon and walks like a demon. :'''Piper''': That's ducks, that's not Phoebe's husband! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]]''': I'm pregnant. :'''Piper''': You're what? :'''Paige''': Oh my God, from Cole? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Well maybe you haven't heard. There's a new Source, the old one is dead. :'''Paige''': Yeah, we already kicked his sorry ass. :'''Wizard''': He didn't die. He was reborn into a new sorry ass. Wait, that didn't come out right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': You're lying, I can see your wisdom teeth. :'''Paige''': I don't have wisdom teeth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': ''(After she blows up a demon.)''

Find something that strengthens me and doesn’t taste like crap. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper]]''': This one duplicates my freezing power, plus it scalds the flesh, so we should only use it in a dire emergency. :'''[[w:Paige Matthews|Paige]]''': No! I will not scald Phoebe’s flesh! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paige''': She's like Piper-lite. All the personality without any of those messy emotions. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Relax boys. I’m here to cook, not kill. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Phoebe, you're evil. You're like the Queen of All Evil. Literally. :'''Phoebe''': That's beside the point. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': How, how, how could you do that? How could you just let him go? :'''Phoebe''': I don't know why you're so upset, we saved the innocent, didn't we? :'''Piper''': I can't talk to her. You talk to her! : '''[[w:Leo Wyatt|Leo]]''': Phoebe... :'''Phoebe''': Things are not as black and white as they used to be, ok? I can't just go around and kill demons anymore. :'''Paige''': Why not? We heard you just killed two last night. :'''Phoebe''': Yeah, well that was different, he was getting on my nerves. I promised Cole I wouldn't kill anymore. And killing Malick would have been a huge betrayal. :'''Piper''': Malick? You're on a first-name basis with the demons? : '''Leo''': If you were just gonna order him to stop, you could have done that on your own. Why did you even come to us? :'''Phoebe''': Because I ''missed'' you guys! Okay? Is that so wrong? I ''missed'' you! : '''Leo''': Phoebe, you can't be the Queen of the Underworld and a Charmed One. You can't have it both ways. :'''Phoebe''': Why not? Just because it's different doesn't mean that it can't work. And you all miss me too, even though I'm sure Piper probably doesn't want to admit it to herself. :'''Paige''': Of course, we miss you, honey. :'''Phoebe''': Well, you can have me back. You can have the Power of Three back. You just have to be willing to meet me halfway. :'''Piper''': Phoebe, you can't protect the innocent and save demons. It just doesn't work that way. :'''Phoebe''': Apparently, it does. He's alive, isn't he? :'''Paige''': Yeah, but your friend Malick is gonna come back. :'''Phoebe''': You don't know that. :'''Piper''': That's what they do, Phoebe. They come back. They snarl, and come back. :'''Paige''': Yeah, and now we have to worry about protecting him instead of trying to save you. :'''Phoebe''': You think I need saving? :'''Piper''': Are you kidding me? That baby inside you has corrupted you, more than you think. :'''Phoebe''': Piper... :'''Piper''': Don't Piper me. This is insane. What are you saying is insane. You can ''not'' come back. You can ''not'' work with us, as long as you're married to the Source. :'''Phoebe''': So what do you want me to do?! You want me to leave my husband?! :'''Piper''': Yes! :'''Phoebe''': That is not fair! : '''Leo''': It's not fair Phoebe, but you have to pick a side. Good or evil. That's how it works. Even though it means giving up someone you love, you have to choose. :'''Phoebe''': I'm really sorry you feel that way. ''(she disappeares in the flame)'' . :'''Piper''': I can't do this. ''(walks away)'' :'''Paige''': What about Greg? :''(Piper unfreezes him.)'' :'''Greg''': Oh no, not again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elise''': Dear Betrayed, I suggest you beat your cheating husband with his secretary's stapler. Then he'll think twice before bending her over her desk again. :'''Phoebe''': Well it might be a little harsh, but I think it makes a point. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': Paige could see that Cole clearly had turned evil, and she tried to tell me over and over and over and over and over... and over. That doesn't even sound like a word anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Piper''': This time, the Source is Cole. You really think she's going to say a little spell with us to vanquish him? :'''Paige''': If she doesn't, we die. :'''Piper''': Is that supposed to be comforting? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': You killed him? :'''[[w:Cole Turner|Cole]]''': It was... your mess, I was just cleaning it up. :'''Phoebe''': Cole, they're gonna come after you. They're gonna come ''here''!" :'''Cole''': Well, if they do... :'''Phoebe''': No... ''(walks away)'' :'''Cole''': Phoebe, if it comes to either them or us... Phoebe, wait. :'''Phoebe''': Oh, God.

It's... It's for the best. :'''Phoebe''': ... I know it is. ''[walks over and kisses Cole]'' :'''Piper''': Phoebe? :'''Phoebe''': ''(backing away)'' I'm sorry, too. ''(she places the last crystal on the ground, trapping Cole.)'' :'''Cole''': Phoebe, no... No! :'''Phoebe''': I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry. :'''Piper''': Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda...

My head was on fire like a tiki torch a few seconds ago. :'''Piper''': Do not change the subject! Did your baby just electrocute the nice doctor man?! :'''Phoebe''': Yeah, I think so. But he was just protecting himself because that gel was really cold. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': Piper, what is going on here? :'''Piper''': I don't know, but don't panic, we'll wrap up here and we'll go home and panic! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Paige Matthews|Paige]]''': Why me?

Uh, I can make these kind of things happen. I am not a kind of witch that rides around on broomsticks, or the hat, or the little black cat. That sort of thing. I use my powers for good.

You know, there is some blond chick go to sleep in your room. I am just a little sad. But I can be little sad. :'''Phoebe''': Absolutely. I am sad, too. :'''Piper''': It's just, you know, there have been a lot of changes. :'''Phoebe''': You know this always will be my home, right? And that will never change.

It's just that every time we go out and try to get a life, meet people, do new things, we seem to wind up back in these kind of lame positions. Giving up is not such a bad idea, is it? :'''Phoebe''': No, I'm not giving up. Not now and not after I finally found someone I could see having a future with.

A man who I shared the special little girl I had long ago foreseen, but feared I might never have. Along with two other special little girls I had not foreseen. I was suddenly so blessed to have a new family of my own, and old friends to share it with. And though I kept working and giving advice to those who asked, I was more interested in helping them find love. Since finally, having been loved. :'''Paige''' (''voice-over''): Phoebe had become somewhat of an expert on the subject. As for me, life without demons opened up similar avenues. Henry, of course, continued to look after his parolees, even if they didn’t want to be looked after. While still making time to help me with little Henry and the twins, which allowed me time to finally embrace my inner Whitelighter. And to help the next generation of witches come into their own. :'''Piper''' (''voice-over''): So that Paige could pass on all that she learned. Not just to her own children, or to mine, or to Phoebe’s, but to other future witches and whitelighters as well. Which filled the time between when we were doing the fighting and when our kids were old enough to take over. Allowing me time to get back to my roots and cook something other than potions for once. And open the restaurant I'd always dreamed of owning. As for Leo, after we reclaimed magic school he went back to teaching. Which he continued to do, until it was time to retire. And although we certainly had our struggles… :'''Old Piper''': ''(50 years later, finishes reading the Book of Shadows to her granddaughter)'' …and heartaches over the years, we’re a family of survivors and we will always be. Which is why we've truly been Charmed. :'''Granddaughter''': Again Grandmama, again. :'''Old Piper''': Oh, dear. No, I can’t. I need to rest. But you can look at it for a little while if you’d like, hmmm? ''(She kisses her head and stands up. Old Leo waits nearby.)'' After all, it’ll be yours one day. == Cast == ''Main'' *'''[[w:Holly Marie Combs|Holly Marie Combs]]''' - [[w:Piper Halliwell|Piper Halliwell]] *'''[[w:Alyssa Milano|Alyssa Milano]]''' - [[w:Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe Halliwell]] *'''[[w:Rose McGowan|Rose McGowan]]''' - [[w:Paige Matthews|Paige Matthews]] ''(Seasons 4-8)'' *'''[[w:Shannen Doherty|Shannen Doherty]]''' - [[w:Prue Halliwell|Prudence Halliwell]] ''(Seasons 1-3)'' ''Supporting'' *'''[[w:Brian Krause|Brian Krause]]''' - [[w:Leo Wyatt|Leo Wyatt]] *'''[[w:Dorian Gregory|Dorian Gregory]]''' - [[w:Charmed#Darryl Morris|Darryl Morris]] ''(Seasons 1-7)'' *'''[[w:Julian McMahon|Julian McMahon]]''' - [[w:Cole Turner|Cole Turner]] / [[w:Belthazor|Belthazor]] ''(Seasons 3-5, Guest Star Season 7)'' *'''[[w:Drew Fuller|Drew Fuller]]''' - [[w:Chris Halliwell|Chris Halliwell]] ''(Season 6, Recurring Seasons 5, 7 & 8)'' *'''[[w:Ted King|T.W.

But Battle Royale director Kinji Fukasaku actually survived [[World War II]]. He was just a teenager himself when he was put to work in a munitions factory in [[Japan]]. <br> "It was bombed, a lot," Hendrix says. "And one of his jobs, at the age of 15, was to take a wheelbarrow around the factory and pick up body parts after bombing raids." <br> The experience left Fukasaku with a lasting abhorrence of war — and a profound sense of betrayal by grownups that persisted into his own adulthood. And it fueled his decision to film Battle Royale, which was both highly controversial and a massive theatrical hit when it was released in Japan, despite a rating that kept young teenagers from seeing it. That irritated the director, says Hendrix. <br> "He gave a very famous statement to the press where he said, 'Kids, if you have the courage, you can sneak in. And I encourage you to do so.'" * Hendrix says one of the most important things Battle Royale and The Hunger Games share is the idea of teenagers trapped in a ruined society, coerced by grownups into doing horrible things. <br> Even so, they both make it clear — there's nothing more [[utopian]] than a teenager. Even in a [[dystopia]]. :* Grady Hendrix in [https://www.npr.org/2012/03/21/148991013/battle-games-cold-brutality-a-common-theme "'Battle,' 'Games': Cold Brutality A Common Theme"] by Nedia Ulaby, ''All Things Considered'', NPR, March 21, 2012 == Cast == * [[w:Tatsuya Fujiwara|Tatsuya Fujiwara]] — Shuya Nanahara (Boy #15) * [[w:Aki Maeda|Aki Maeda]] — Noriko Nakagawa (Girl #15) * [[w:Taro Yamamoto|Taro Yamamoto]] — Shogo Kawada (Boy #5) * [[w:Chiaki Kuriyama|Chiaki Kuriyama]] — Takako Chigusa (Girl #13) * [[w:Kou Shibasaki|Kou Shibasaki]] — Mitsuko Souma (Girl #11) * [[w:Beat Takeshi|Beat Takeshi]] — Teacher Kitano == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0266308|title=Battle Royale}} * {{rotten-tomatoes|id=battle_royale|title=Battle Royale}} [[Category:2000 films]] [[Category:Action films]] [[Category:Adventure films]] [[Category:Dystopian films]] [[Category:Films based on novels]] [[Category:Japanese films]] [[Category:Foreign language films]] [[Category:Films set on islands]] 8vubqmlq1be8emxiy64v88k2kqh3p9j Veganism 0 16640 3148037 3139909 2022-07-27T08:32:54Z Spinoziano 304780 /* S */ + Sherawat wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Foods.jpg|thumb|Veganism denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practical—all forms of exploitation of, and [[cruelty to animals]] for food, clothing, or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals, and the environment. ~ [[The Vegan Society]]]] '''[[w:Veganism|Veganism]]''' is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in [[diet]], and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of [[animals]]. A follower of either the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan. __NOTOC__ {{TOCalpha}} == A == * My motto has always been “If you love animals, don’t eat them”. ... the moment I began to understand what was going on with the treatment of animals, it led me more and more in the way of the path I am [on] now, which is a complete vegan. ** [[Bryan Adams]], [http://www.peta.org.uk/blog/bryan-adams-animal-rights-vegan/ “Bryan Adams on Animal Rights and Being Vegan”, interview with PETA, in ''Peta.org'' (7 January 2007)]. * I coined the term ''feminized protein'' for eggs and dairy products: plant protein produced through the abuse of the reproductive cycle of female animals. Feminized protein is taken from living female animals, whose reproductive capacity is manipulated for human needs. The unique situation of domesticated female animals required its own term: a sexual slavery with chickens in battery cages and dairy cows hooked up to milking machines. ... The radical truth is that people can be perfectly happy as vegans, but the dominant culture can’t or won’t acknowledge this. ... Being vegan is an exciting, wonderful culinary experience and we probably don’t even know what’s possible because it’s still so new. ... The process of objectification/fragmentation/consumption can be interrupted by the process of attention/nowness/compassion. ** [[Carol J. Adams]], “[http://caroljadams.com/why-vegan-feminist/ Why Vegan-Feminist?]”, in ''caroljadams.com'' (2015). * When people ask me why I don’t eat meat or any other animal products, I say because they are unhealthy and they are the product of a violent and inhumane industry. Chickens, cows, and pigs in factory farms spend their whole lives in filthy, cramped conditions only to die a prolonged and painful death. ** [[Casey Affleck]], from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSuLrvwLoLA a PETA video (6 February 2013)], reported in [http://www.peta2.com/heroes/casey-afflecks-go-vegan-psa/ "Casey Affleck’s ‘Go Vegan’ PSA", in ''peta2.com'']. * They taught me the importance of eating right and how it can benefit my boxing career. I went vegan ‘cold [[w:Tofurkey|Tofurkey]]’. ... Since being plant based, I am 23-0, winning 3 International Golds and 2 National tournaments and can thank my new lifestyle. ** [[Cam F. Awesome]], [http://www.greatveganathletes.com/cam-awesome-vegan-boxer "Cam Awesome vegan boxer", interview with ''GreatVeganAthletes.com'' (2013)]. == B == * I've been vegan for two years and vegetarian for 20 years. I used to be a dancer, and so health and vitality have always been important to me. I wouldn't say it took any one big event, vegetarianism just always made sense to me. [What farmed animals] endure is just terrible. It's horrible ... Vegan food is {{w|soul food}} in its truest form. Soul food means to feed the soul. And, to me, your soul is your intent. If your intent is pure, you are pure. ** [[Erykah Badu]], [http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?catId=7&pageId=30 "Erykah Badu", interview with ''VegNews'' (6 October 2008)]. [[File:HeadshotCarl.jpg|thumb|In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet. Moreover, by continuing to eat a vegan diet, my weight is under control, I like the way I look.

Although our work has focused on helping people trim down, conquer diabetes, cut cholesterol, and tackle other medical problems, it should be said that not everyone who decides to forgo animal products makes that choice for health reasons. Many people are concerned with how animals are treated by the food industries, and rightly so.

Profound in moral, social, and ecological implications, animal rights and veganism are crucial necessary steps for liberation politics, but hardly in and of themselves sufficient conditions for revolutionary change. The profound importance of veganism and animal rights can be recognized by a social majority only in a broad political context, and only in alliance with other struggles can their revolutionary potential be realized. ** [[Steven Best]], ''The Politics of Total Liberation: Revolution for the 21st Century'' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014), p. 48. <small>{{ISBN|978-1349500864}}</small> * After having my daughter, I made a conscious effort to regain control of my health and my body.

Little did I know the long-lasting effects it would have. I thought, like with most diets, I would feel deprived and hate food, that I would miss out on restaurants and celebrations, that I would get headaches and be irritable, etc. I was wrong about all of that.

It helps keep my body clean and it provides me with a tremendous amount of energy due to my body spending less energy breaking down foods like meats. This is a big key factor in my fitness. ... The energy is always there. I feel so alive. My senses and reflexes are so acute. ... With a vegan diet you always have energy, so much that sometimes I have trouble sleeping at night.

It turns out that animal protein, when consumed, exhibits a variety of undesirable health effects. Whether it is the immune system, various enzyme systems, the uptake of carcinogens into the cells, or hormonal activities, animal protein generally only causes mischief.

Vegans see animals as free entities in nature, not slaves or vassals, nor as chattel, pieces of goods to be bought and sold.

Patients sent home to die by expert cardiologists after failing bypass or stents rejoice as they lose weight, eliminate angina chest pains, lessen their medication, lower their blood sugars, decrease or come off their insulin, revert their positive stress test back to normal, selectively diminish the plaque plugging their arteries, and resume a fully active life empowered by the knowledge that they, not their physicians, have become the locus of control for the disease that was destroying them. ** [[Caldwell Esselstyn]], [https://books.google.it/books?id=6Aosc1wlAXcC&pg=PA1 Foreword] to ''No More Bull!'' by [[Howard Lyman]] (New York: Scribner, 2005). == F == * I don’t necessarily trust the way the food is being processed.

For example, the best justification that we have for killing the billions of nonhumans that we eat every year is that we enjoy the taste of animal flesh and animal products.

[[File:Seba blueshirt 3 web2.jpg|thumb|Veganism is the ultimate form of compassion. ~ [[Seba Johnson]]]] * The very saddest sound in all my memory was burned into my awareness at age five on my uncle's dairy farm in Wisconsin. A cow had given birth to a beautiful male calf. The mother was allowed to nurse her calf but for a single night. On the second day after birth, my uncle took the calf from the mother and placed him in the veal pen in the barn—only ten yards away, in plain view of the mother. The mother cow could see her infant, smell him, hear him, but could not touch him, comfort him, or nurse him. The heartrending bellows that she poured forth—minute after minute, hour after hour, for five long days—were excruciating to listen to. They are the most poignant and painful auditory memories I carry in my brain. Since that age, whenever I hear anyone postulate that animals cannot really feel emotions, I need only to replay that torturous sound in my memory of that mother cow crying her bovine heart out to her infant. Mother's love knows no species barriers, and I believe that all people who are vegans in their hearts and souls know that to be true. ** [[Michael Klaper]], quoted in ''The Vegan Sourcebook'' by [[Joanne Stepaniak]] (Lowell House, 1998), pp. 39-40. * If I could deliver one message to the researchers who are looking for the cause of diabetes, and the cause of clogged arteries, and the cause of high blood pressure, and the cause of obesity, I would tell them the answer is in three words.

I had Crohn’s growing up and I had a pretty serious bout with it throughout my thirties and forties. When I changed my diet, the symptoms began to disappear. And I started to understand also how the choice of diet affects the environment, resources, energy — it’s a spiritual choice, as well. And so if I had one day to make an imprint on the nation, I’d look at the choices that we make as respect to food. Also, the matters of compassion towards living creatures who become food. We need to be more thoughtful as a nation about the choices that we make and the food that we consume. ** [[Dennis Kucinich]], interview on Reddit, quoted in [http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/12/21/dennis-kucinich-wants-to-give-a-vegan-chocolate-chip-brownie-to-the-world/ "Dennis Kucinich Wants To Give Vegan Chocolate Chip Brownies To The World", in ''Ecorazzi'' (21 December 2009)]. * Each time we eat we are choosing to support a system. In our choice of agricultural production methods, we can support one which either helps our future, or one which undermines it. The same is true of our actual dietary choices we make. The healthiest diet is one rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, low in animal products. This is better for the environment, our health and of course animals. I'm a vegan because I care for animals and for the future of our planet.

If you are trying to avoid the health pitfalls of eating carcasses—high fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol content; lack of fiber; deficiency of vitamins and enzymes; abundance of stored toxins—well, then take a good look at the dairy you're eating. Dairy is basically liquid meat without the iron. ... Milk should be viewed as no more or less than what it is: a delivery system for fat, cholesterol, blood, pus, antibiotics, and carcinogenic growth hormones. ... If your reason for abstaining from meat has more to do with an emotional attachment to animals than a concern for your health, then understand that dairy cows are truly sick, miserable, abused creatures ...

You would do better to eat meat and stop eating eggs and dairy products." I was shocked, since I had no intention of eating meat but had never thought of giving up eggs or dairy products. But when I looked into it I realized he was right, and now, years later, after I have studied the matter up close, I know for certain that he was completely correct about the cruel treatment of the animals raised for such products.

I do not think that is true; we are incredibly tolerant. We are always polite when others ask, “Don’t you ever get tempted by a bacon sandwich?”... In fact, most vegans I know are rather coy about explaining why they are vegan, mostly because the question tends to be asked when we are sitting a dinner table full of meat eaters, and it seems rather impolite to answer. However, seeing as we are not at a dinner party now, here is the ethical case... If people are vegetarians for ethical reasons—because they believe that killing and eating animals is wrong—they really ought to be vegan, too.

Everything in my life has benefited me just eating natural foods, and the more information about the truths and the harsh realities of treatment of animals as well as the process of manufacturing food or meat products—including seafood, including the dairy industry, which I was oblivious to being a vegetarian—prompted me to continue this journey, which I'm very proud of, but it's impossible to turn back, because I no longer see product—I see process. ** [[Mýa]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rax-2smxzpk "Proud Vegan: 'I No Longer See Product—I See Process'", video interview with PETA (12 October 2016)]. == N == * Although my veganism started out absolutely about health, it's also become about the environment and animal cruelty.

It is true that many people around the world continue to exploit animals for basic subsistence. The continued use of both domesecrated and free-living animals as food because of the absence of other dietary alternatives, linked to [[poverty]], is itself an indictment of the [[capitalist]] system . . .

For me, to defend and protect animals means not to eat them, use them as clothes, use products tasted on them, pay people that want to show them in cages, all this. It is like someone that works for an ONG that protects children in poor countries: he would never buy products made by children under slavery conditions, wouldn’t he?

The transition will also help malnourished humans who could benefit from the grain currently fed to factory-farmed animals. For factory-farming is not just cruel; it's energy-inefficient. Let’s take just one example. Over the past few decades, millions of Ethiopians have died of "food shortages" while Ethiopia grew grain to sell to the West to feed cattle. Western meat-eating habits prop up the price of grain so that poor people in the developing world can’t afford to buy it. In consequence, they starve by the millions. In my work, I explore futuristic, hi-tech solutions to the problem of suffering. But anybody who seriously wants to reduce human and non-human suffering alike should adopt a cruelty-free vegan lifestyle today. ** [[David Pearce (philosopher)|David Pearce]], [https://www.hedweb.com/animals/interview.html "A World Without Suffering?"

The older I’ve gotten, the more it’s occurred to me that I’m doing it in order to live longer, though the vanity component will always be there. ... I just told myself one day that I’m going to do it and I’m going to give myself eight weeks. And that I’m not going to commit on this for a lifetime because it’s psychologically huge for people to wrap their minds around it. And I’m just going to see how I feel, I’m going to test my blood again and see if there’s anything.

If you don't get that dress on soon girl, I'm gonna come up there and staple it on! ''[back to the men]'' I got the fire department on standby. But the key word here, ''amigos,'' is prevention. So if and when you spot Miss Wacko, whoever, just waltz her right out of the place. Dig? <br> '''Ioki:''' Well, that oughta be easy. I mean, we don't even know who we're looking for.<br> '''Cpt. Jenko:''' Well, leave it to your buddy there, [[w:Iceberg Slim|Iceberg Slim]]. I understand he's got great instincts when it comes to the ladies. Right, Mr. Penhall?<br> ''[Penhall gives a self-deprecating smile]''<br> '''Cpt. Jenko:''' Hoffs will be your date, Harry. Lucky Miss Kenny gets the butler, and Casanova, you ''know'' who you're with. <br> '''Penhall:''' The one with the great personality. ''[to Ioki]'' Trade you for Hoffs.<br> '''Cpt. Jenko:''' Bud, I don't know if I'd trust you fucking my great-grandmother. <hr width="50%" /> '''Hoffs:''' You know, I didn't think it was possible, but this prom was even worse than the one with Charles Tyrone Cannon throwing up in the back seat of his father's Cadillac. ===Blindsided[1.9]=== '''Hanson:'''I didn't just ask her; I broke that girl down in the produce section! '''Hanson and Penhall:''' WE'RE THE MCQUAID BROTHERS HAH! ===Mean Streets and Pastel Houses [1.13]=== '''Penhall:''' Studs and leather, here I come. KKK - awesome band.<br> '''Hanson:''' Band?<br> '''Penhall:''' KKK - Klean Kut Kids. It's a band. It's a gang. It's a floor wax. You gotta keep up with the popular culture, Hanson. <hr width="50%" /> '''Hanson:''' I see I'm going to have to put this into terms you can understand. That's my stepbrother Douglas. He's kinda lame, but it's not his fault. You kick his tail - he tells my stepdad - my stepdad kicks my tail. Then I'm going to have to come back here and kick your tail. So, why don't you leave him out of this and I'll just kick your tail right now? ==Season 2== ===Besieged [2.02]=== '''Penhall:''' Lookit...last night...<br> '''Hoffs:''' Yeah, last night.<br> '''Penhall:''' I just wanted you to know that I didn't plan for any of that to happen. I just came over to drink those beers. <br> '''Hoffs:''' Come on, Penhall! Mr. White Knight arrives to console me. Next thing you know I'm in his arms, and then I...(long pause) Look, I feel like I've been taken advantage of here, Doug.<br> '''Penhall:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute! ''I'm'' the one who came over to be consoled. ''I'm'' the one whose friend is driving around with a murderer. ''I'm'' the one who everybody thinks is crazy. I thought maybe you were a sympathetic ear. <br> '''Hoffs:''' Oh, so you're trying to tell me you didn't plan on getting me in the sack when you came over last night. <br> '''Penhall:''' No. <br> '''Hoffs:''' Then why did you have those ''things'' with you?<br> '''Penhall:''' "Things" with me? <br> '''Hoffs:''' You had condoms in your wallet, Doug. <br> '''Penhall:''' I always have condoms in my wallet. <br> '''Hoffs:''' Yeah? <br> '''Penhall:''' Yeah. Like...when you go for a drive. You bring a spare with you in case you get a flat. <br> '''Hoffs:''' That's just great! Judy Hoffs, road hazard! <hr width="50%" /> ===Orpheus 3.3 [2.16] === '''Hoffs:''' How many times have you seen this?<br> '''Hanson:''' 122 times, but I don't watch the whole tape. I watch 3.3 seconds. 3.3 seconds that slipped through my fingers. 3.3 seconds where I could've done a thousand different things, but I didn't move. Do you know how many things you can do in 3.3 seconds? You can take off your shoes, pop a beer and shoot someone in 3.3 seconds.<br> '''Hoffs:''' Come on, Hanson.<br> '''Hanson:''' You can hold your finger down on the remote control and pass 17 stations in 3.3 seconds. You can open a can of tuna fish, shuffle and bridge a deck of cards, or twist the tops off six bottles of ginger ale in 3.3 seconds.<br> '''Hoffs:''' Hanson, please!<br> '''Hanson:''' You can ring a doorbell 22 times, lock and unlock a deadbolt four times, or sing the entire alphabet in 3.3 seconds. <hr width="50%" /> ===Best Years of Your Life [2.20]=== '''Off. Doug Penhall:''' This guy is the worst burglar I've ever seen. He's drunk.<br> '''Off. Tom Hanson:''' Hammered.<br> '''Off. Doug Penhall:''' Pickled.<br> '''Off. Tom Hanson:''' To the gills. <hr width="50%" /> ==Season 4== ===Old Haunts in the New Age[4.6]=== '''Off. Penhall:''' They're gonna have fireworks, free hot dogs. Even Sprinkles the clown!<br> '''Off. Hanson:''' Sprinkles? Really? <hr width="50%" /> ===Stand by your man [4.8] === '''Penhall:''' Did I ever tell you about Cindy Miller? [Talking to Hanson in a bar] '''Hanson:''' Probably... (Drink his beer) '''Penhall:''' Cindy Miller, I took her to the Senior Dance and we had a great time and you know and afterwards, I took her up to Chest View Drive kind of like an inspiration point you know so we could uh... (trying to say the words) '''Hanson:''' Look at the big dipper! '''Penhall:''' (thinks)... Yeah you know to make out (Little pause) So we're making out and uh I go to grab her (trying to say the word) '''Hanson:''' Corsage... '''Penhall:''' (Doug makes a sign with his head to approve the choice of the word) and she says no so, I stopped and you know we're talking for a little while and she leans over me and she says , she starts kissing me and she says "What's the matter? What's the matter? What's wrong? What's wrong?" so ,I figured she changed her mind and you know we start making out again ... and I go to grab her... (trying to say the word) '''Hanson:''' Her other corsage! '''Penhall:''' (Makes a sign with his hand) And she says no again! So this goes on for like an hour, yes, no, yes, no, what am I a light switch? So I figured she didn't know what the hell she want and I took her home (take a shot from his drink) '''Hanson:''' Thank you Doug for that (coughs) very inspiring story... '''Penhall:''' (looks at Hanson) Well the wind up is, I go to school the next day, and she told everybody I was like this major homo cause I took no for an answer... Do you believe that? ( Hanson shake his head by meaning no) '''Penhall:''' Did you ever have a Cindy Miller? (Drinks his drink) <hr width="50%" /> ===Wheels & Deals [4.10 & 4.11]=== '''Det.

Fuller's desk with his feet up, eating grapes)<br> '''Hanson:''' : Can I help you, Detective?<br> '''Hoffs:''' Where's Fuller?<br> '''Hanson:''' Bad clams. He left me in charge.<br> '''Hoffs:''' Yes, but ''I'm'' the senior officer next to the captain.<br> '''Hanson:''' (smirking): You're a ''girl.''<br> '''Hoffs:''' Hanson, if you don't tell me what's going on here (picks up letter opener), you, too, will be a girl. <hr width="50%" /> '''Hanson:''' (picking up Capt.

It has been noted for extremely sharp-looking mechanical designs, numerous character monologues which keep the series true to the "unglamourous war" message of the first series, and its rising popularity. It is also the first "alternate universe" storyline in the Gundam franchise to spawn a true sequel, Gundam Seed Destiny. __TOC__ == Gundam SEED == === ''PHASE-01 "False Peace"'' === :'''Narrator''': Year 70 of the Cosmic Era. Tensions between the PLANTs and Earth were at an all time high since the conflict began. It was first assumed that the Earth forces, with their superior numbers would be victorius, but these initial assessments proved to be false. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Miriallia Haw|Miriallia Haw]]''': Kaohsiung isn't that far away, is it? Will the homeland be all right? :'''[[w:Tolle Koenig|Tolle Koenig]]''': Sure. There's no need to worry. Although they're close, we're a neutral entity. It's unthinkable for Orb to become a battlefield. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Flashback] :'''[[w:Athrun Zala|Athrun Zala]]''': The PLANTs and Earth WILL see eye to eye. You'll join me in the PLANTs too, right Kira? <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Mu La Flaga|Mu La Flaga]]''': What's the status on ZAFT vessels in the vicinity? :'''Captain''': We traced two vessels, but don't worry. They can't do a thing once we're docked. :'''Mu La Flaga''': Because it's a neutral nation? What a joke. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Rau Le Creuset|Rau Le Creuset]]''': Don't look so disappointed, Ades. :'''Captain Ades''': Well, I guess it won't be too late if we wait 'til we hear back from the council. :'''Rau Le Creuset''': It ''will'' be too late. I have a sixth sense about these things. If we let things slip now, we would eventually have to pay for those actions with our lives. The Earth Forces' new model mobile weapons... we must seize them before they're moved from there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tolle Koenig''': Sai wrote her a letter? To Flay Allster? Looks like you got some competition, Kira Yamato. :'''[[w:Kira Yamato|Kira Yamato]]''': But I'm not really... <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Natarle Badgiruel|Natarle Badgiruel]]''': This place is so peaceful... Just think, there are people their age already fighting on the front line. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Yzak Joule|Yzak Joule]]''': That's it. It's just like Commander Le Creuset said. :'''[[w:Dearka Elsman|Dearka Elsman]]''': What? With the right amount of prodding, they're sure to come out of their hole? :'''Yzak Joule''': After all, the Naturals are stupid and pathetic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': You're... a girl? :'''[[w:Cagalli Yula Athha|Cagalli Yula Athha]]''': What did you think I was?! Let's hear it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cagalli Yula Athha''': I knew it. The Earth Forces' new mobile weapons. Father, I knew you'd betray us all! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-02 "Its Name: Gundam"'' === :''[Kira falls face first into Murrue's chest as she struggled to pilot a Gundam.]'' :'''[[w:Murrue Ramius|Murrue Ramius]]''': Get out of my way!

You're in way over your head, Natural! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miguel Aiman''': Damn piece of Earth trash! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': It seems we have an unforseen problem; a rather annoying fly buzzing around. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Tell me, do you feel my presence? Do you sense it the same way that I sense yours? A rather unfortunate twist of fate, wouldn't you say... Mu La Flaga? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murrue Ramius''': You kids don't understand anything! By declaring that you're neutral and have nothing to do with this, you can still distance yourselves from what's happening? You don't really believe that, do you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': Bastard! Is that you, Rau Le Creuset? :'''Rau Le Creuset''': You always seem to get in my way, Mu La Flaga! Though I imagine you would probably say the same about me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Mu, I'd actually be pleased if you'd vanish right about ''now!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arnold Neumann''': Launch the ship? That's impossible with the number of people we have! :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': If you have time to argue, spend it on finding a way to do it! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-03 "Collapsing Land"'' === :'''Kuzzey Buskirk''': I'm impressed that he can sleep in this situation. :'''Miriallia Haw''': He's tired. It was really tough for Kira, you know. :'''Kuzzey Buskirk''': It was tough? Well, I guess that's true, but... :'''[[w:Sai Argyle|Sai Argyle]]''': What are you getting at, Kuzzey? :'''Kuzzey Buskirk''': Nothing. Just that in Kira's case we can only say "it was tough for him," and that's it. Kira said he rewrote the OS for that thing, right? When did he do that? :'''Sai Argyle''': What do you mean? :'''Kuzzey Buskirk''': I can't imagine Kira had any previous knowledge of that thing. So, when did he rewrite the OS? I figured all along that Kira had to be a Coordinator. To think that Coordinators, born genetically-enhanced, do these amazing things, but to them it's nothing more than "tough." The guys in ZAFT are all like that. Do the Earth Forces have any chance fighting against these guys? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': It seems he has no intention of waiting until we head out there. That bastard. :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Do they intend to hit us again within the colony? :'''Mu La Flaga''': Easy for them! We can't fire, but they can fire as they wish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': What you say may be correct, that there is a war going on outside our world. But we don't agree with it! We dislike war! And that is why we chose to be here in neutral territory! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miguel Aiman''': Athrun! Show us that same spirit that made you defy orders! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-04 "Silent Run"'' === :''[Looking at the wreckage of the destroyed colony.]'' :'''Mu La Flaga''': Amazing how simple... and fragile it was. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Captain Ades''': The council won't look lightly on a neutral nation's colony being destroyed. :'''Rau Le Creuset''': How can you call a colony that's manufacturing new weapons for the Earth Forces "neutral"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': From this point on, we'll have to rely on luck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': Kira Yamato. :'''Kira Yamato''': Yes? :'''Mu La Flaga''': Mr. Murdoch is pretty upset, you know? We don't have enough people. So, you maintain your machine, okay? :'''Kira Yamato''': My machine? Wait! What do you mean "my machine"? :'''Mu La Flaga''': Well, let's just say that's what's been decided. The fact is, you're the only one capable of piloting that thing. It can't be helped. :'''Kira Yamato''': Sure, I rode the thing twice, only because I had no choice! But I'm not a soldier or anything! :'''Mu La Flaga''': So, when the fighting starts again, you refuse to use it? Are those going to be your last words, huh? :''[Kira is quiet.]'' :'''Mu La Flaga''': At that moment, you and I are the only ones who can protect this ship. :'''Kira Yamato''': But I don't think it's...! :'''Mu La Flaga''': Kira, you have the power to make a difference, don't you? Then why not put it to use. We have precious little time, including time to think it over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sai Argyle''': Kira is a Coordinator. But he isn't with ZAFT. :'''Miriallia Haw''': He's one of us. A treasured friend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': I may be able to operate the mobile suit... but that doesn't mean I know how to fight a battle! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Irony abounds in warfare. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Athrun Zala''': Kira... fails to see he's being manipulated by the Naturals! Brilliant as he is, he is also naive and good-natured. They're exploiting him, but he's blind to it. That's why I have to go back! I have to reason with him! Kira is still a fellow Coordinator! I'm positive that he'll come around to our way of thinking. :'''Rau Le Creuset''': I know how you feel. However, what if he won't listen to you? :'''Athrun Zala''': If that should happen... I'll shoot him down myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': It's not that I want to fight... but I do want to protect this ship. Because of the people on board. :'''Mu La Flaga''': It's the same for us all. You won't find too many people who wish to fight for no reason at all. We fight because unless we fight, we cannot protect. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': In any case, think only about protecting this ship and yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': Mu La Flaga, taking off! Don't let them sink you before I return! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-05 "Phase Shift Down"'' === :'''Kira Yamato''': Athrun, what are you up to? :'''Athrun Zala''': I'm taking you to the ''Gamow''. :'''Kira Yamato''': Get serious. I'm not going to set foot on any ZAFT ship. :'''Athrun Zala''': You are a Coordinator. You're one of us, Kira. :'''Kira Yamato''': No, I won't join ZAFT! :'''Athrun Zala''': That's enough, Kira. Quiet! Just let me take you. Otherwise... otherwise, I'll have no choice but to shoot you. :'''Kira Yamato''': Athrun... :'''Athrun Zala''': I already lost my mom at Bloody Valentine. That's why... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yzak Joule''': Stupid bastard! Are you out of your mind? If it hadn't been your interfering for no reason... :'''Dearka Elsman''': Quite the little disaster. And all because you had to disobey orders. :'''[[w:Nicol Amalfi|Nicol Amalfi]]''': What are you doing? This isn't the place. Stop it! :'''Yzak Joule''': We went out in four machines, and we still couldn't get him. It's too humilating for words. :'''Nicol Amalfi''': You can take it out on Athrun all you want. But it won't change anything, will it? :''[After Yzak and Dearka leave in a huff.]'' :'''Nicol Amalfi''': Athrun, I can't help but think that this isn't like you. So if you... :'''Athrun Zala''': Could you just let me be alone for a while? Okay? :''[Exits locker room and slams his fist against the wall.]'' :'''Athrun Zala''': Kira... <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-06 "The Vanishing Gundam"'' === :'''Dearka Elsman''': So what's the strategy then? Kick back until they come out? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicol Amalfi''': Trial and error of an untested system. I really hope it works. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Regarding the Blitz's mirage colloid.]'' :'''Dearka Elsman''': It seems appropriate for Nicol. A weapon fit for a coward. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': Why can't you go away and let us live in peace? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Regarding Kira being with the Alliance and operating the Strike against his kind.]'' :'''Garcia''': But you're already a traitor to your fellow Coordinators, are you not? === ''PHASE-07 "The Scar of Space"'' === :'''[[w:Patrick Zala|Patrick Zala]]''': We fight because it is the only way that we can protect ourselves. If we must fight so that we may protect, then we have no choice but to fight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': I am a man who can make the impossible possible. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-08 "The Songstress of the Enemy Forces"'' === :'''Mu La Flaga''': Give me a break. The minute we solve the problem with the supplies, we get thrown another in the form of a pink-haired princess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Flay Allster|Flay Allster]]''': I don't want any of you Coordinators acting friendly with me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kuzzey Buskirk''': Are you a member of Blue Cosmos? :'''Flay Allster''': No, I'm not! But the stance those people take... I don't think they're really wrong. Anyone who has their genes operated on, when they are not sick or anything, is against what nature intended. The truth is you all agree with me, don't you? :[Kuzzey and Miriallia look away.] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sai Argyle''': What a beautiful voice! But I wonder... is that voice a result of fiddling around with her genes? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': But your kindness doesn't come from being a Coordinator... it's because of who you are, Kira Yamato. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-09 "The Fading Light"'' === :'''Flay Allster''': I promise I will kill this girl. If they keep firing at my father's ship, I swear I'll kill this girl. Tell them that! GO AHEAD!! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-10 "Crossroads"'' === :'''Athrun Zala''': Using a rescued civilian as a hostage? So do you still feel justified in fighting alongside these cowards? Kira!? :'''Kira Yamato''': Athrun... I... :'''Athrun Zala''': I'm gonna rescue her! That's a promise! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': The only reason our officers would resort to such dubious actions is because we're weak. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flay Allster''': You didn't make any serious effort to fight them, did you? It's because you're a Coordinator too, isn't it?! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-11 "The Awakening Sword"'' === :'''Yzak Joule''': I suggest the cowards keep their traps shut. Are there only ten minutes or are there a full ten minutes? It's all in how you look at it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Athrun Zala''': I can't exactly fight a war with a big smile on my face. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-12 "Flay's Decision"'' === :'''[[w:Lacus Clyne|Lacus Clyne]]''': What is it one should be fighting against? War makes that question very difficult. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-13 "Stars Falling in Space"'' === :'''Yzak Joule''': Come out and fight, Strike! Or else... or else this pain I feel will never go away! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-14 "Within Endless Time"'' === :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Each side strives for justice, but both have a different idea of what that means. And so on the battlefield, all those whose strike at the enemy do so for their just cause. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': The dove is a symbol of peace. It's not born with the sharp beak or claws that can inflict a fatal attack, so they say if these two birds were pitted against each other it would undoubtedly be a long, gruesome battle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:George Glenn|George Glenn]]''': Fellow humans, I have kept something from you. But today my secret shall be revealed: I did not come into this world through natural birth. My genes were altered artificially early in the embryonic stage of my development. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Glenn''': Gazing upon the Earth from outer space, I am reminded of a thought I had... That I am bridge connecting our home planet to the vast reaches of space where so much is yet to be understood. I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am the regulator, the coordinator, the one who is meant to guide the way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Suspicion, ignorance, prejudice, the dark emotions directed at those who can be loved. If love is the brightest light, then are these emotions created from the shadow it casts? Things that are different, things we don't understand, differences that foster anxiety, leading to hatred, and ultimately...confrontation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Even if we know all about the source for the existence of humans, we cannot change their hearts. Those who possess the gift do not understand the feelings of those who don't; and those who don't envy those who do. There are people who still love others who are different to them, but this feeling cannot be transferred by gunfire. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-15 "The Respective Solitudes"'' === :'''Flay Allster''': Kira, you are going to fight, and fight, and fight... until you die. It's the only way I will ever forgive you. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-16 "Burning Sandstorm"'' === :'''[[w:Andrew Waltfeld|Andrew Waltfeld]]''': When the coffee is first-rate, so is everything else.

Have some of this! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': Sorry, but we're going to have to finish you off... for what you did to Maylam. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murrue Ramius''': ...Our guns are useless against moving targets. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-17 "Cagalli Returns"'' === :'''Cagalli Yula Attha''': Why? What is someone like you doing here, huh? :'''Kira Yamato''': That's right. You're that person I met back at Morganroete. :'''Cagalli Yula Attha''': Let go of me, you jerk! <hr width="50%"> :''[After twisting and holding Sai's arm behind his back]'' :'''Kira Yamato''': That's enough! If I took this seriously, you wouldn't stand a chance in a fight against me. <hr width="50%"> :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': ''[About razing Tassil]'' Naughty children must be properly disciplined! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-18 "Payback"'' === :'''Mu La Flaga''': This is likely payback for what you did to them last night. I'd say it's awfully kind of the Tiger to let you off with something minor like this. :'''Cagalli Yula Athha''': How dare you?! Something minor like this? Having a town burnt down is minor? How could you regard anyone who would do this as kind? :'''Mu La Flaga''': I'm sorry, I apologize if I upset you in any way. But the enemy is an established army. I'm sure you realize if they were serious, it would have been much worse. <hr width="50%"/> :[Mu gasps at the angry expression in Cagalli's eyes, and humours her.] :'''Mu La Flaga''': Yeah, the Tiger. What a detestable guy. :'''Cagalli Yula Athha''': Same goes for you! :''[Cagalli storms off, but then a crowd of civilians gather in a circle around Mu, glaring at him.]'' :'''Mu La Flaga''': Oh boy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': Whenever people are put to the test, I often hear them boast, "I'd rather die."

Are you one of those people who only fights battles that you know you'll win? Although that's fine by me. When push comes to shove, you've gotta do what you've gotta do to be victorious.

Shortened telomeres. What's it all supposed to mean? :'''Murrue Ramius''': None of this is your fault, Mu. :'''Mu La Flaga''': He has no past and no future. Perhaps not even an identity. :'''Murrue Ramius''': So he wants to take the whole world down with him. :'''Mu La Flaga''': I won't let him get away with this. I won't! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': I'll be all right... because I swore that I'd never cry again. :'''Lacus Clyne''': It's okay to cry.

It won't be as frightening if you stay in your sleeping quarters. You look scared. :'''Flay Allster''': I-I'm terrified! But I'm just starting to realise now... everybody else saw it and understood what was happening as it unfolded, but I... :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Most people are lucky they don't see those things. From here on, this war is only going to get worse. We're going to see a lot more of what we just witnessed. :'''Flay Allster''': But that man... he said the war was going to end now! :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Oh, it will end all right. Once every last enemy is destroyed. Only then will it end. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': Everyone please... we cannot afford to let even one nuclear missile hit the PLANTs.

To make up for not destroying the ''Eternal'', the least you can do is prevent them from attacking the PLANTs with it. :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Even if that means killing Athrun, Your Excellency? :''[Patrick's eyes widen briefly, but then he grits his teeth.]'' :'''Patrick Zala''': Of course! :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Very well then, sir.

We of Orb have been able to mantain these ideals in a era of sweeping changes, because we belive that it is the framework we human beings call a nation. Like-minded indiviuals gathered together in the spirit of harmony. As we face the present sitiuation, I still belive this to be true. The Earth Forces are threatening to attack us unless we join their camp; however, in light of our beliefs, we can not comply to their demands. For to accept that would be to accept the invasion of the most essential principles of Orb, no, the most important principles of humanity itself. The Earth forces vow to attack us if we do not flow the line and fall in with them; however, we can not submit to their ultimatum. For if we agree to join them, then the day would come when we as a country would be forced to fight against other contries, other nations, whose only crime is that they are enemies of the Earth forces. We will not allow another nation to attack us. This is integral to Orb's ideals and we will defend then until the very end, but unfortunately my fellow citizens, the threat is at our very door. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Heine Westenfluss''': Attacking all of us!?

You think you've got all the answers!? Or have you forgotten all the lives you've personally taken!? :'''Kira Yamato''': Yes, I know; and that's why I'm so sick and tired of all of it. :'''Athrun Zala''': Kira... :'''Kira Yamato''': I don't want to kill any more, and I will not let others kill. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': If that's the case you've told us that you've gone and joined the ZAFT Forces again whats the next step?

Even so the PLANTs are making every effort to bring this foolishness to an end and the you guys show up and confuse the situation even further! :'''Kira Yamato''': Are you sure about that, and that other Lacus Clyne? Whats the story with that other Lacus up in the Plants?, Maybe you can tell me why a squad of Coordinators showed up and tried to kill the real Lacus, Who in the world would want to have Lacus killed and for what reason?

We experienced a devastating war not too long ago, and we swore at that time that we would never repeat such catastrophes again. And yet, Junius-7 has fallen, our efforts were in vain, and hostilities have opened up once again. The war has spread without any protest, and we have gained the same sadness and pain once again. :Honestly, what is the meaning of the foolish repetition of a tragedy? For once, as I have mentioned in the past, the cause was definitely due to the existence of Logos. Those who fabricated false enemies, stirred fear into the hearts and minds of the innocent, and made people fight against one another, while reaping the ill-received gains of war. Those behind the scenes fueled this conflict with disastrous results, leading to the deaths of countless individuals; these people deserve to be named “The Merchants of Death”. We, after this long struggle have triumphed and defeated them. That is why I dare to address this... that we have to fight an enemy that has existed since the beginning of time. We have to overcome and release its influence it has on all of us. :Everyone must be well aware of it by now; it is the reason why ever since man had the capacity to understand, conflicts never disappear from human history. Our greatest enemy is ever-present is the ignorance and desire within us that we can never keep subdued. We distanced ourselves from the violent Earth and took refuge in space, and now that we have achieved the physical and mental abilities we desired above all else, people still do not understand each other. They still do not understand themselves, and with fear blocking their judgment, people cannot see the future. :As equals? No, with more riches and more enjoyment, the hand that grasps those evil desires within all of us... that is what we have become today: the seed of all conflicts. But the time has come to put an end to all this endless suffering. We have achieved a way to subdue all of that, and the only true answer is within us. All of mankind’s greatest questions are within all our bodies. With this, people will be able to understand their own, as well as others past and future. This is the only cure to prevent the infinite cycle of pain and suffering. As my final escort plan, with all of mankind’s future at stake, I hereby declare the execution of the Destiny Plan. :&mdash; Gilbert Dullindal's speech <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-48 "To a New World"'' === :'''Talia Gladys''': War is a part of politics, in which the whole picture cannot be read. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-49 "Rey"'' === :'''Rey Za Burrel''': We are all born to this world as flawed children.

'':Next Ninja'' == Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer == === ''Stage 02'' === :'''Mudie Holcroft''': My teacher once said, "The only good Coordinator is a dead Coordinator." :'''Sol Ryuune L'ange''': Edmond said this before, right? "Look up and move on. Because you'll become jealous or frightened if you look to your sides or below you. The one who looks up. The one who'll look at the stars beyond. Stargazer." === ''Stage 03'' === == Gundam SEED Destiny Special Edition 1-4 == :'''Kira Yamato''': Right now, it's the only option we have. We all wanna do something to help, and really, none of us are sure if this is the best way to help out. But we can't just give up now, can we. And knowing something's not right but doing nothing about it is just as bad. We know what that will bring. I think we know all too well. That's why we have to go: to prevent history from repeating itself. :'''Athrun Zala''': In battle, your forces must use only enough power to cause the enemy to lose the will to fight, eliminating the threat with the least amount of damage. Anything less, and your forces will lose. Anything more, and newer different difficulties will arise. The problem lies in the fact that on the battlefield, there are many who understand this.. and many who don't. :'''Athrun Zala''': Thou may freely eat off every tree in the garden, but never touch the tree that grants the knowledge of good and evil. For the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shall surely die. But the serpent, who was the most cunning of all the creatures brought forth at that time, had this to say, "Ye shall not die, for God doth know that the day ye eat thereof, thine eye shall be opened. Ye will know of good and evil, and ye shall be as God is." And that God knows that fact. And so it is said that the first humans ate of the fruit. :'''Athrun Zala''': It was as if I was in the middle of a nightmare. Why do we keep fighting like that? Why do we have to fight? About things I thought I knew, with a friend I thought I knew, but now, bit by bit, piece by piece, things are once again falling apart. There's what we can do, and what we should do. It felt like even those words were beginning to fade away into nothingness. :'''Athrun Zala''': Everyone was hurting. Everything that's happened. Is it the price we have to pay for what we've done? All of us hope for the same thing. We wanted a world with no war, a world in which this tragedy would never occur again. But with the path we're on right now, it seems that if we choose that dream, it will only come at the cost of everything we have. Given the situation, will people be able to keep their hopes alive? Was this really the only path open to us? We know how to say no, but it was as if the words we're looking for, keep fading into the distance, lost in the hazy skies of war. :'''Kira Yamato''': We take things for granted when times are peaceful, and we quickly forget. But moments like this, are among the happiest of life. :'''Athrun Zala''': Eventually everyone learns. Like the first person did, about good and evil. Now the fear was, that they'd reach out for the fruit from the tree of life, and live forever. As a result, people were punished, and exiled from paradise and eternal happiness. Could this be the reason why humanity is forever stretching their arms out? Searching for the garden they lost in the distant past, forbidden from ever returning to it? But time only flows one way, that's why I believe that what we're really searching for still lies ahead. Somewhere in our future, though there may not be a tree of life, I'd like to think that some day we will fashion a garden with our own hands. One where we can live in peace and in happiness. == External Links == {{Wikipedia}} [[Category:Anime and manga series]] [[Category:Gundam]] [[Category:Japanese TV shows]] cfs7vefo5d1pcdqi9f4lost54bhyn34 3148040 3148039 2022-07-27T08:55:11Z 2400:AC40:610:37B2:F483:C47D:2C53:125D Ninja Warrior Live and Origin Of Military Shinobi wikitext text/x-wiki '''''[[w:Gundam Seed|Gundam Seed]]''''' is a "alternate universe" storyline in the Gundam metaseries.

When did he do that? :'''Sai Argyle''': What do you mean? :'''Kuzzey Buskirk''': I can't imagine Kira had any previous knowledge of that thing. So, when did he rewrite the OS? I figured all along that Kira had to be a Coordinator. To think that Coordinators, born genetically-enhanced, do these amazing things, but to them it's nothing more than "tough."

Kira!? :'''Kira Yamato''': Athrun... I... :'''Athrun Zala''': I'm gonna rescue her! That's a promise! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': The only reason our officers would resort to such dubious actions is because we're weak. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flay Allster''': You didn't make any serious effort to fight them, did you? It's because you're a Coordinator too, isn't it?! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-11 "The Awakening Sword"'' === :'''Yzak Joule''': I suggest the cowards keep their traps shut. Are there only ten minutes or are there a full ten minutes?

It's not born with the sharp beak or claws that can inflict a fatal attack, so they say if these two birds were pitted against each other it would undoubtedly be a long, gruesome battle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:George Glenn|George Glenn]]''': Fellow humans, I have kept something from you. But today my secret shall be revealed: I did not come into this world through natural birth. My genes were altered artificially early in the embryonic stage of my development. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Glenn''': Gazing upon the Earth from outer space, I am reminded of a thought I had... That I am bridge connecting our home planet to the vast reaches of space where so much is yet to be understood. I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am the regulator, the coordinator, the one who is meant to guide the way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Suspicion, ignorance, prejudice, the dark emotions directed at those who can be loved. If love is the brightest light, then are these emotions created from the shadow it casts? Things that are different, things we don't understand, differences that foster anxiety, leading to hatred, and ultimately...confrontation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Even if we know all about the source for the existence of humans, we cannot change their hearts. Those who possess the gift do not understand the feelings of those who don't; and those who don't envy those who do. There are people who still love others who are different to them, but this feeling cannot be transferred by gunfire. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-15 "The Respective Solitudes"'' === :'''Flay Allster''': Kira, you are going to fight, and fight, and fight... until you die.

How could you regard anyone who would do this as kind? :'''Mu La Flaga''': I'm sorry, I apologize if I upset you in any way. But the enemy is an established army. I'm sure you realize if they were serious, it would have been much worse. <hr width="50%"/> :[Mu gasps at the angry expression in Cagalli's eyes, and humours her.] :'''Mu La Flaga''': Yeah, the Tiger.

There's no reason to cooexist with Naturals. :'''Siegel Clyne''': How can you call us a new species when signs indicate that we are nearing the end of our road? Even with our push toward regulated marriage, birth rates among third-generation Coordinators are declining! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Siegel Clyne''': Patrick, you must face the fact that lives are born here, not simply manufactured! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patrick Zala''': We can no longer throw away our power and turn back from our evolutionary path so that we may return to being Naturals. :''[Patrick scoffs and exits the room; Siegel sighs]'' :'''Siegel Clyne''': You still fail to grasp the underlying truth, Patrick: we ''didn't'' evolve. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Go ahead, Patrick Zala, be conceited!

Or... we couldn't find Kira... anywhere. Say something! :'''Athrun Zala''': He's gone... Because I killed him. It's true. I did it. I trapped the Strike with my Aegis and blew up.

It wasn't right for him to be on the side of the Earth forces! :'''Cagalli Yula Athha''': So you... :'''Athrun Zala''': But whenever we talked, he wouldn't listen!

He wasn't on my side anymore! I had no choice but to ''kill him!'' :'''Cagalli Yula Athha''': You idiot! :'''Athrun Zala''': He killed Nicol right in front of my eyes! Nicol was fifteen.

''[flashback to Tolle's death]'' ...killed Tolle. :''[Athrun gasps as does Miriallia and Dearka]'' :'''Kira Yamato''': But you didn't know him either.

Weren't you listening to Kira? This is what he meant! Would killing him bring Tolle back to me? Of course it wouldn't. So, why don't you just stop talking about it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shani Andras''': ''[About the Justice and the Freedom]'' They're gonna pay. :'''Clotho Buer''': Those two machines. :'''Orga Sabnak''': That's a promise. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-40 "Into the Dawn Skies"'' === :'''Uzumi Nara Athha''': We've been declared an enemy, but does that mean we're not even worth listening to!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Athrun Zala''': Both of us completely understood what you meant, and that there are things in this world you want to protect sometimes you gotta fight for them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': Athrun… :'''Athrun Zala''': Let's kick ass! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orga Sabnak''': You stupid mobile suit! You're out of energy already!? :'''Clotho Buer''': It's because you keep firing all over the place, dumbass! :'''Orga Sabank''': Say what? :'''Clotho Buer''': If you want to leave, do it yourself. You're on your own now. :''[Athrun leaps out of the water in the Justice Gundam and slices Clotho's hammer in half, forcing him to fall back.]'' :'''Orga Sabnak''': Hey, you're the dumbass! :'''Clotho Buer''': Who do you think you're... :''[Orga lands his Calamity Gundam on top of Clotho in his Raider Gundam.]'' :'''Clotho Buer''': Who said you could get on, freeloader!? :'''Orga Sabnak''': Shut your mouth! We got to go back and recharge. Don't tell me you're not running on empty as well. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Uzumi Nara Athha''': The Earth Forces' present actions are being guided by the leader of Blue Cosmos, Muruta Azrael. To make matters worse, the PLANTs are led by someone who believes Coordinators are a new species, for Patrick Zala rules them now. The way things are developing the world will soon be trapped between two forces who refuse to accept each others' existence. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': But just because the odds are against us doesn't mean we should give up and let them do whatever they want to us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Uzumi Nara Athha''': Stop giving me that look! It doesn't suit a child of the Lion of Orb. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Uzumi Nara Athha''': I feel very fortunate to have been your father. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Uzumi Nara Athha''': We can't leave Orb, or this world, in the hands of those bastards. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murrue Ramius''': This small yet strong flame will never be extinguished. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayura Labatt''': I didn't think we'd be going out into space. :'''Juri Wu Nien''': Suits me just fine. :'''Asagi Caldwell''': Damn the Earth Forces! <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-41 "Trembling World"'' === :'''Lacus Clyne''': We must understand that the people of Earth are our brothers and sisters.

And what happpened to the Freedom? :'''Athrun Zala''': First things first. I have a question for you. What exactly are your true intentions regarding this war? :'''Patrick Zala''': What did you say?! :'''Athrun Zala''': You heard me, Father. How long are we going to keep fighting this war? :'''Patrick Zala''': What are you blathering about? What's important is the mission you were assigned. Now stop wasting time and make your report! :'''Athrun Zala''': I came back... because I felt I had to ask that one question in person. That's it, Father. :'''Patrick Zala''': Athrun, you little bastard! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Athrun Zala''': All you can think about is meeting power with more power! Tell me, Father, is that really your true intention? Do you believe that will ever bring an end to this war? :'''Patrick Zala''': Of course it will! When the very last Natural is dead, this war will end! :''[Athrun's eyes widen in shock and disbelief]'' :'''Patrick Zala''': Now tell me, Athrun, what happened to our machines, the Justice and the Freedom? And answer carefully because I forgive no one! :'''Athrun Zala''': Are you serious? Do you mean what you just said, Father? About how you want all the Naturals dead? :'''Patrick Zala''': That's the whole point of this war! That reason and that reason alone is why we are fighting this war! How could you possibly have forgotten that fact? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patrick Zala''': Don't kill this fool! There are still some things he needs to tell me. :'''Soldiers''': Yes, sir! :'''Patrick Zala''': Take him away and pry the location of the Justice and the Freedom out of him. Use whatever means of persuasion you find necessary. I'm very disappointed, Athrun. :'''Athrun Zala''': I feel the same way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': You have every reason to want revenge on me. :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': That's what happens in war. Everyone has some kind of reason, but no one does. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-43 "What Stands in the Way"'' === :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Nobody is ever born into this world as a soldier. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murrue Ramius''': Do you think they're planning to launch an all-out attack on the PLANTs? :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': Their military is full of people who have always wanted to pull off that kind of stunt. "For the preservation of our blue and pure world." :'''Mu La Flaga''': That's enough. :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': Hey, they're the ones saying it, not me. :'''Mu La Flaga''': I know, but you're right. :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': I can't see how getting rid of all the Coordinators would lead to a pure world. I don't even know what a pure world is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': Whatever human beings have begun, other human beings can then put a stop to. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cagalli Yula Athha''': I bet your head is like a hamster running in its wheel right about now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murrue Ramius''': This isn't only about what happened in Alaska. We have serious doubts about the Earth Forces in their entirety. No surrender, no return to the military! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': In these conditions, we hit our own machines too! :'''Muruta Azrael''': Who cares if we hit our own machines? They have Trans-Phase armor, don't they? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Clotho Buer''': ''[About the Justice and the Freedom]'' They want these guys intact! :'''Shani Andras''': How about just ''one'' of them? === ''PHASE-44 "Spiral of Encounters"'' === :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Are you that eager to meet your maker!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orga Sabnak''': Shani! :'''Clotho Buer''': We have orders to withdraw, dimwit! :'''Shani Andras''': ''[About Athrun]'' That guy!

Do you want them to punish us again!? :''[Shani's eyes widen in fear and he finally backs down from his assault.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': If it's my fate to be shot down by you, I thought this place would be appropriate... However, it doesn't look like there's any chance of that happening. After all, how could the child ever hope to defeat the parent! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dearka Elsman''': I can't just quietly follow orders when it looks like all we're trying to do is wipe out every last Natural alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Aren't you the least bit curious? About the ultimate extent of humanity's insatiable desires? About the fools who pursued their insane dream in the name of progress? Because after all, Kira, you're a child of this too. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-45 "The Opening Door"'' === :'''Rau Le Creuset''': You are the dream of humanity. The Ultimate Coordinator. It was Dr. Hibiki who first created the artificial womb. And you were the only viable child it ever produced. For that reason, a large number of your siblings were sacrificed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': George Glenn was the first Coodinator whom humanity knew. Do you have any idea how much darkness spread across the world because of the chaos he unleashed? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Via Hibiki''': Please stop it! That's a human life in there! Not just a thing! :'''[[w:Ulen Hibiki|Ulen Hibiki]]''': I know that! That's why I must see this through to the end! :'''Via Hibiki''': A life should be born into this world! Not just manufactured! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Via Hibiki''': You liar! Give him back! Give my other child back to me! :'''Ulen Hibiki''': He's my son! I'll use the highest technology to make him the Ultimate Coordinator! :'''Via Hibiki''': And what is this for? For your sake? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Via Hibiki''': The Ultimate Coordinator? Is that supposed to bring this child happiness? :'''Ulen Hibiki''': The urge to make things better has always driven progress, and then that is what brings about happiness. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': They thirsted for knowledge. They sought to fulfill their desires. And ultimately, they forgot why they were doing it. Even as they proclaimed their reverence for human life, they began toying with it. And then they began destroying it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': No matter what we learn, no matter what we manage to obtain, nothing ever changes! People are amazing that way! They become envious, hate each other, and destroy each other! If that's what they truly desire, why don't they simply exterminate each other?! :'''Mu La Flaga''': What gives you the right to sound so superior? :'''Rau Le Creuset''': I am the only one who has earned that right! In the entire universe, I alone have the right to judge all of humanity! :'''Mu La Flaga''': Cut the crap, you crackpot! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ulen Hibiki''': But cloning is illegal. :'''[[w:Al Da Flaga|Al Da Flaga]]''': Laws can be changed. After all, they are only made by humans. :'''Ulen Hibiki''': But still&mdash; :'''Al Da Flaga''': This technology came at great cost. You should put it to use. You want funding for your research, don't you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Al Da Flaga''': But are you sure that's me? Oh well. He will be my successor, in any case. Why should that woman's child be my heir? Keep a close eye on him and educate him well. Whatever you do, don't make him into another weakling. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': I am he, that arrogant fool, who thought he could thwart death itself with his money. Al Da Flaga, your father. But I am merely that man's defective clone. :'''Mu La Flaga''': What?! My dad's clone? You expect anyone to believe that fairy tale? :'''Rau Le Creuset''': I don't want to believe it either. But unfortunately, ''it's true!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Making the first move will put us at a great disadvantage. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee success. :'''Muruta Azrael''': It's easy for anybody to declare the impossible as being impossible. But it's another matter to actually make things possible. Everyone knows that in the business world. :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': But this is a battlefield. Failure means death. :'''Muruta Azrael''': It means the same in the business world. Are you one of those people who only fights battles that you know you'll win? Although that's fine by me. When push comes to shove, you've gotta do what you've gotta do to be victorious. We can't remain sitting here forever, can we? Give it your best shot. Think positive. Winners never quit, quitters never win. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dearka Elsman''': I'm not as devoted or resigned to this cause as those two are, but I've seen some things... :'''Miriallia Haw''': ''[in flashback]'' Tolle's gone! And he's never coming back! And yet this creep, what is this scumbag doing here?! :'''Dearka Elsman''': I watched them. And after I saw Alaska, Panama, and Orb, there's no way I can return to ZAFT and fight like the military tells me to. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shani Andras''': Do you think we'll get in trouble again if we fail this time? :'''Clotho Buer''': Bet on it. [About Azrael] That guy is just using us to make himself look good. :'''Orga Sabnak''': It could be worse. At least we're kicking butt instead of getting our own butts kicked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': The final door is about to open. And I am the one opening it! And this world will come to an end! This world of insatiable desires will end! And the conceited fools floundering in it will finally have their wish come true! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Do you think you can change what's about to happen?! Nobody can do anything about it. The whirlpool of hatred is engulfing the universe! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dearka Elsman''': If you insist I'm your enemy just because I'm no longer with ZAFT, then shoot me. :'''Yzak Joule''': You're being deceived! :'''Dearka Elsman''': I wonder which one of us is really being deceived. I don't know for sure, but I'm going. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rau Le Creuset''': ''[To Flay]'' I'm very tired now. So please deliver this key to the final door for me.

I have to protect her! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mu La Flaga''': My father was... an arrogant and unreasonable man... always doubting other people. He died when I was little, and that's about all I remember about him. But this is just... unbelievable! Why'd this have to happen? ''[About Rau]'' And a failed product? He ages too quickly. Shortened telomeres. What's it all supposed to mean? :'''Murrue Ramius''': None of this is your fault, Mu. :'''Mu La Flaga''': He has no past and no future. Perhaps not even an identity. :'''Murrue Ramius''': So he wants to take the whole world down with him. :'''Mu La Flaga''': I won't let him get away with this. I won't! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': I'll be all right... because I swore that I'd never cry again. :'''Lacus Clyne''': It's okay to cry. You should cry, while we're still able to. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': You have too many sad dreams, Kira. But what's important is the person you are.

Even ZAFT's fortresses are simply no match for nuclear warheads. :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Director Azrael... :'''Muruta Azrael''': Hm? :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': I understand that they are our enemies, but don't you feel any remorse for using nuclear weapons? :'''Muruta Azrael''': I must say, I'm surprised to hear that kind of comment from a professional soldier. Why, I'm almost a saint, compared to some commanders who would knowingly send their troops out to die, knowing full well that it was a battle they could never win. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Earth Forces have just used nukes to destory Boaz.]'' :'''Patrick Zala''': Damn those Natural scum! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Clotho Buer''': [laughs] You know what I see?

Not after JOSH-A. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Flay Allster''': But I... I really have to see him again. Kira is alive. So, I really have to see him and talk to him and the others... properly this time! :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': You may want to stay off the bridge. It won't be as frightening if you stay in your sleeping quarters. You look scared. :'''Flay Allster''': I-I'm terrified! But I'm just starting to realise now... everybody else saw it and understood what was happening as it unfolded, but I... :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Most people are lucky they don't see those things. From here on, this war is only going to get worse. We're going to see a lot more of what we just witnessed. :'''Flay Allster''': But that man... he said the war was going to end now! :'''Natarle Badgiruel''': Oh, it will end all right. Once every last enemy is destroyed. Only then will it end. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': Everyone please... we cannot afford to let even one nuclear missile hit the PLANTs. If the blade of light strikes down those who are innocent, it can only lead to neverending tears and hatred. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne:''' The choices we're making may be one of evil as well.

Nuclear weapons... or for that matter, why are there even mobile suits and guns? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': Is it weapons that are the cause of all this fighting or does the real cause lie within the human heart? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andrew Waltfeld''': The first time I actually ever had to shoot somebody, it turned my stomach. They told me I'd get used to it in time. And after a while, that's what happened. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patrick Zala''': This is no longer a war, it is a campaign of extermination! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shani Andras''': You know, I think there are even more of them than last time. :'''Orga Sabnak''': Although, it's really not much fun fighting the small fry. :'''Clotho Buer''': Who cares? If I'm ordered to go out and attack, I'll do what I'm told. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patrick Zala''': Le Creuset... I'm only going to say this once: no more blunders. To make up for not destroying the ''Eternal'', the least you can do is prevent them from attacking the PLANTs with it. :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Even if that means killing Athrun, Your Excellency? :''[Patrick's eyes widen briefly, but then he grits his teeth.]'' :'''Patrick Zala''': Of course! :'''Rau Le Creuset''': Very well then, sir. Excuse me. :''[As Rau walks away, Patrick clenches his fist.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dearka Elsman''': So, they want us to stop the nukes and GENESIS while fighting at the same time!? :'''Miriallia Haw''': Then why don't you just give up? :'''Dearka Elsman''': Hey, I didn't mean&mdash; :'''Miriallia Haw''': Just kidding. I'm sorry. Be careful out there. :'''Dearka Elsman''': Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murrue Ramius''': I thought I wouldn't make it in time. :'''Mu La Flaga''': What are you talking about, silly? :''[Mu notices Murrue's locket.]'' :'''Mu La Flaga''': Was he a mobile armor pilot? :'''Murrue Ramius''': ...Yes. :'''Mu La Flaga''': Don't worry.

Why are you fighting so desperately? :'''Athrun Zala''': I want to ask you the same thing. What do you guys think you're fighting for? :'''Clotho Buer''': Don't ask me, I don't really know.

To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future, then what sort of future is it, and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with bloodstained hands?

Like-minded indiviuals gathered together in the spirit of harmony. As we face the present sitiuation, I still belive this to be true. The Earth Forces are threatening to attack us unless we join their camp; however, in light of our beliefs, we can not comply to their demands. For to accept that would be to accept the invasion of the most essential principles of Orb, no, the most important principles of humanity itself. The Earth forces vow to attack us if we do not flow the line and fall in with them; however, we can not submit to their ultimatum. For if we agree to join them, then the day would come when we as a country would be forced to fight against other contries, other nations, whose only crime is that they are enemies of the Earth forces. We will not allow another nation to attack us. This is integral to Orb's ideals and we will defend then until the very end, but unfortunately my fellow citizens, the threat is at our very door. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Heine Westenfluss''': Attacking all of us!?

Athrun, how come? :'''Athrun Zala''': The chairman only wants people who will play the roles he assigned them. :'''Meer Campbell''': What? :'''Athrun Zala''': He wants a Lacus he can use, and he wants me to be a pet mobile suit pilot. You're useful to him now, but he's not going to need you forever. And when he's finished with you, he's gonna have you killed. You must come with me! :'''Meer Campbell''': But I'm...

I will send this to you in response to your emergency.There were many things that I could not teach you. But as long as you strive to learn, you should be able to obtain those things from the people who love and support you.Therefore I will send this and this alone. Although it is foolish to wish for only more power, It is also foolish to balk at power as a reckless thing. If you are in need of a sword to protect others, take this now. If it is for the sake of doing what you have determined you must do of your own free will. But what your father truly wishes for is that the day you have to listen to this never comes.

What's wrong with that!? <hr width="50%"/> :Why did it turn out like this? Even if we think about it, we already know it is meaningless, yet my heart is wandering in search for it. We experienced a devastating war not too long ago, and we swore at that time that we would never repeat such catastrophes again. And yet, Junius-7 has fallen, our efforts were in vain, and hostilities have opened up once again. The war has spread without any protest, and we have gained the same sadness and pain once again. :Honestly, what is the meaning of the foolish repetition of a tragedy? For once, as I have mentioned in the past, the cause was definitely due to the existence of Logos. Those who fabricated false enemies, stirred fear into the hearts and minds of the innocent, and made people fight against one another, while reaping the ill-received gains of war. Those behind the scenes fueled this conflict with disastrous results, leading to the deaths of countless individuals; these people deserve to be named “The Merchants of Death”. We, after this long struggle have triumphed and defeated them. That is why I dare to address this... that we have to fight an enemy that has existed since the beginning of time. We have to overcome and release its influence it has on all of us. :Everyone must be well aware of it by now; it is the reason why ever since man had the capacity to understand, conflicts never disappear from human history. Our greatest enemy is ever-present is the ignorance and desire within us that we can never keep subdued. We distanced ourselves from the violent Earth and took refuge in space, and now that we have achieved the physical and mental abilities we desired above all else, people still do not understand each other. They still do not understand themselves, and with fear blocking their judgment, people cannot see the future. :As equals? No, with more riches and more enjoyment, the hand that grasps those evil desires within all of us... that is what we have become today: the seed of all conflicts. But the time has come to put an end to all this endless suffering. We have achieved a way to subdue all of that, and the only true answer is within us. All of mankind’s greatest questions are within all our bodies. With this, people will be able to understand their own, as well as others past and future. This is the only cure to prevent the infinite cycle of pain and suffering. As my final escort plan, with all of mankind’s future at stake, I hereby declare the execution of the Destiny Plan. :&mdash; Gilbert Dullindal's speech <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-48 "To a New World"'' === :'''Talia Gladys''': War is a part of politics, in which the whole picture cannot be read. <hr width="50%"/> === ''PHASE-49 "Rey"'' === :'''Rey Za Burrel''': We are all born to this world as flawed children. So this time, we must end everything, in order not to let any more children like us be born again! <hr width="50%"/> === ''FINAL PLUS: "The Chosen Future"'' === :'''Rey Za Burrel''': ''Kira Yamato...! You shouldn't have been allowed...'' [scene changes to that of Rau, two years ago] ''...to exist, boy!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacus Clyne''': Orb is more important than us. Orb is the only thing left standing on in the way of their plan. If we lose Orb, we lose the world, we must protect it at all cost! So Athrun, Captain Ramius, please go.

To everything that happened before. :'''Shinn Asuka''': Yes, I understand! :'''Rey Za Burrel''': That's right, the end is ahead... :'''Kira Yamato''': (seeing flashbacks of his final duel with Rau le Creuset) What's this? How is this possible? :'''Rey Za Burrel''': This time for certain... :'''Kira Yamato''': It can't be. :'''Rey Za Burrel''': THE END OF EVERYTHING! :'''Kira Yamato''': Who is that? Who are you? :'''Rey Za Burrel''': (as Rau le Creuset) I'm sure you recognize me now... I am Rau le Creuset! :'''Mu La Flaga''': They've got a lot of guys, yep. But you need more than just numbers! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gilbert Dullindal''': I have to admit, it's amazing. :'''Rau le Creuset''': ''[appearing as a ghost beside him]'' What is? :'''Gilbert Dullindal''': The fights...the battles...the wars. People really love to fight, don't they? :'''Rau le Creuset''': And how are ''you'' different? :'''Gilbert Dullindal''': All I want is to win. Preferably without fighting. :'''Rau le Creuset''': But you know, there are some things that you can't win. :'''Gilbert Dullindal''': ''[thinks of Talia]'' Yes...I lost that day. Sometimes even when you fight, you can't win; an unobtainable victory. Then...why do people fight, even when death is inevitable? Why are we even born, for that matter? :'''Rau le Creuset''': ''[laughs]'' Like I said before: they exist only to find out that reason. You probably don't like that answer, though. :'''Gilbert Dullindal''': That's right. I'm sorry, but I'll have nothing to do with it; I will not be caught in an internal struggle, nor will I lose...like you did. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kira Yamato''': Rau le Creuset? :'''Rey Za Burrel''': Mankind's dreams... mankind's future! You are the splendid result: Kira Yamato! And because of that, your existence must come to an end... you will disappear along with us...! ''For the sake of the new world that is to come!!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rey Za Burrel''': Gil, where's Rau? :'''Gilbert Durandal''': Rau is no longer with us. But you are also Rau. That is your destiny <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gilbert Dullindal''': ''[flashback]'' The one thing you cannot run away from is yourself. :'''Rey Za Burrel''': ''[to Kira]'' And one thing you cannot recover is your past! That's why... we must put an end to all of this, to sweep everything away! So we shall return what we were meant to be! Humanity... '' the world!!'' :'''Kira Yamato''': No, you're wrong! We all have just one life to live. This is your life you're living, not his! [Kira then attacks Rey in burst mode destroying Legend in the process] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Athrun Zala''': Shinn, just stop it already, it's pointless now! :'''Shinn Asuka''': Damn it! Why am I... I can't lose to you! Not to you! :'''Athrun Zala''': You must stop fighting to change your past, you've got to move on! :''[Shinn and Lunamaria are stunned by Athrun's words.]'' :'''Athrun Zala''': No matter what you do, you cannot bring them back! :''[Flashbacks of fallen comrades and families as Athrun emphasizes his point.]'' :'''Shinn Asuka''': How dare you?! :'''Athrun Zala''': And now you're gonna destroy the future too? Is that it?! :'''Shinn Asuka''': I understand. I understand that! But, that's exactly why the world has to change!! Also, that's why Orb must be destroyed! :'''Lunamaria Hawke''': ''[Lunamaria is shocked and horrified by Shinn's destructive motives and remarks..]'' ''Shinn''...! :'''Athrun Zala''': Stop talking back to me in that nonsense! Destroying everything like this... and even killing the future...! Is this really the world you desired?! Or the power you desired?! :''[Shinn reflects at his painful past]'' :'''Shinn Asuka''': It's not the same... ''it's not!'' :''[Shinn charges head on at Athrun, but Lunamaria jumps in between the two, trying to stop them fighting each other.]'' :'''Lunamaria Hawke''': Shinn, stop it already! Athrun, you too! :''[Shinn wildly screams at seeing the ghosts of his past.]'' :'''Shinn Asuka''': Stella! Mayu! ''MAKE IT STOP!!!'' :''[Shinn continues to attack, to Lunamaria's shock. Athrun goes into Seed Mode, and shields Lunamaria from Shinn's attack.]'' :'''Athrun Zala''': You crazy bastard!! :''[Athrun then cripples Shinn's Destiny Gundam, and Shinn screams in pain as he crashes upon the moon surface.]'' :'''Lunamaria Hawke''': Shinn! :''[Lunamaria rushes to look after Shinn, as Athrun looks on with regret]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Athrun, Shinn, Lunamaria, Meyrin are present at the Orb War Memorial as Shinn lays flowers and pays to his deceased family]'' :'''Lunamaria Hawke''': Then, your parents don't have their graves at all? :'''Shinn Asuka''': Yeah. There's only a small memorial for them. :''[Athrun, Shinn, Lunamaria, Meyrin silently remember the dead, and sadly looks around the memorial, and Shinn grips Mayu's cell phone very hard in anguish and anger.]'' :'''Shinn Asuka''': I've been always hating this place... for a very long time. But, it's been always on my mind. This isn't used to be like this; it didn't look like this either. Maybe this means that no one should be deceived by what they see. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, people will always blow them away all over again. But this place... looking at this place, making me hate even more! :'''Lunamaria Hawke''': Shinn... ::''[Athrun, Shinn, Lunamaria, Meyrin stands in silence, then Birdy flies in, followed by Kira and Lacus]'' :'''Athrun Zala''': Kira! ::(everyone else looks in surprise) :: "[Lacus lays flowers on the memorial as others stand by her]" :'''Kira Yamato''': You're all here, I guess? :'''Athrun Zala''': Yeah... ::(Another silent moment passes by, and Athrun steps forward to introduce Kira to Shinn) :'''Athrun Zala''': Shinn, this is Kira. Kira Yamato, the pilot of Freedom. ::(Both Shinn and Lunamaria are surprised with wide eyes, as Shinn remember meeting Kira not long time ago) :'''Kira Yamato''': (Extends his hand to Shinn as a friendly gesture.) Won't you accept it? ::(After a brief hesitation, Shinn return his hand and gives Kira handshake.) :'''Shinn Asuka''': Ummm... I... I'm so... :'''Kira Yamato''': No matter how many times people try to blow away the flowers, we'll always replant them back. I'm sure of it. ::(Shinn open his eye wide in apprehension) :'''Shinn Asuka''': Umm... Yeah... :'''Athrun Zala''': That's exacly our fight. :'''Kira Yamato''': Let's fight together, okay? ::(After brief moment, Shinn shakes Kira's hands with tears on his face) :'''Shinn Asuka''': Yeah! '':Next Ninja'' == Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer == === ''Stage 02'' === :'''Mudie Holcroft''': My teacher once said, "The only good Coordinator is a dead Coordinator." :'''Sol Ryuune L'ange''': Edmond said this before, right? "Look up and move on. Because you'll become jealous or frightened if you look to your sides or below you. The one who looks up. The one who'll look at the stars beyond. Stargazer." === ''Stage 03'' === == Gundam SEED Destiny Special Edition 1-4 == :'''Kira Yamato''': Right now, it's the only option we have. We all wanna do something to help, and really, none of us are sure if this is the best way to help out. But we can't just give up now, can we. And knowing something's not right but doing nothing about it is just as bad. We know what that will bring. I think we know all too well. That's why we have to go: to prevent history from repeating itself. :'''Athrun Zala''': In battle, your forces must use only enough power to cause the enemy to lose the will to fight, eliminating the threat with the least amount of damage. Anything less, and your forces will lose. Anything more, and newer different difficulties will arise. The problem lies in the fact that on the battlefield, there are many who understand this.. and many who don't. :'''Athrun Zala''': Thou may freely eat off every tree in the garden, but never touch the tree that grants the knowledge of good and evil. For the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shall surely die. But the serpent, who was the most cunning of all the creatures brought forth at that time, had this to say, "Ye shall not die, for God doth know that the day ye eat thereof, thine eye shall be opened. Ye will know of good and evil, and ye shall be as God is." And that God knows that fact. And so it is said that the first humans ate of the fruit. :'''Athrun Zala''': It was as if I was in the middle of a nightmare. Why do we keep fighting like that? Why do we have to fight? About things I thought I knew, with a friend I thought I knew, but now, bit by bit, piece by piece, things are once again falling apart. There's what we can do, and what we should do. It felt like even those words were beginning to fade away into nothingness. :'''Athrun Zala''': Everyone was hurting. Everything that's happened. Is it the price we have to pay for what we've done? All of us hope for the same thing. We wanted a world with no war, a world in which this tragedy would never occur again. But with the path we're on right now, it seems that if we choose that dream, it will only come at the cost of everything we have. Given the situation, will people be able to keep their hopes alive? Was this really the only path open to us? We know how to say no, but it was as if the words we're looking for, keep fading into the distance, lost in the hazy skies of war. :'''Kira Yamato''': We take things for granted when times are peaceful, and we quickly forget. But moments like this, are among the happiest of life. :'''Athrun Zala''': Eventually everyone learns. Like the first person did, about good and evil. Now the fear was, that they'd reach out for the fruit from the tree of life, and live forever. As a result, people were punished, and exiled from paradise and eternal happiness. Could this be the reason why humanity is forever stretching their arms out? Searching for the garden they lost in the distant past, forbidden from ever returning to it? But time only flows one way, that's why I believe that what we're really searching for still lies ahead. Somewhere in our future, though there may not be a tree of life, I'd like to think that some day we will fashion a garden with our own hands. One where we can live in peace and in happiness. == External Links == {{Wikipedia}} [[Category:Anime and manga series]] [[Category:Gundam]] [[Category:Japanese TV shows]] gnv5gyft9hyrcqxdhsir0xh6dj5vgvo Megas XLR 0 18733 3147845 2998600 2022-07-26T22:14:43Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Megas XLR|Megas XLR]]''''' (2004–2005) was an American animated television series that aired on the [[w:Toonami|Toonami]] block on [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] and is produced by [[w:Cartoon Network Studios|Cartoon Network Studios]]. ==Season 1== ===''Test Drive'' [1.01]=== :'''Gorrath''': A time warp?

and a strong jaw, there's only one way to get the girl... you make a complete ass of yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kenny''': If there were two bowling alleys, exactly alike, but one of them had wall-to-wall whores, I'd definitely patronize the one with the whores. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Mike]'' You know when you go into a department store and they have an irregular rack? Irregular. That's my staff. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Molly''': ''[to Carol about Ed]'' You're lucky that you didn't sleep with him. He would've bought a strip mall. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': Sometimes two people can fall so completely in love and yet be so completely wrong for one another. It's fate's nasty side, I guess. === ''The World of Possibility'' === :'''Stuckeyville Stan''': In the old days, we would have settled things like this with a baseball bat and a sock full of quarters. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[(to Ed, explaining why he goes by "Jean Tremont" to the salt-and-pepper shaker sales reps]'' The French thing gives me a business edge. It keeps 'em confused. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': I came up with a theory on women. Women are just fancy men. You know what I mean? Start with a man, add a bunch of interesting bells and whistles, and you've got a woman. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[On the phone with salt/pepper shaker sales rep]'' I've got sales reps from seven companies following me around like I'm a virgin at a rodeo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[defending Stan in court]'' Without the world of possibility, what do we have left? === ''Just Friends'' === :'''Warren''': ''[to Ed]'' Yeah, I was just wondering... um... when you invite a client over to your office for the first time, and they see that it's like, in a bowling alley, or whatever, um... well, are they ever like, "Thanks, but I think I'm gonna find a lawyer whose office is not in a bowling alley?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[about the mailman]'' Neither rain nor sleet nor gloom of night could stop him from having sex with my wife. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[to Molly, about Carol]'' Your friend here is a tough nut to crack, and I am one hungry squirrel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol''': ''[on seeing Ed's video]'' The first time I saw it, I was shocked. Second time, I was horrified. I think it was that third time -- that's the one that scarred me for life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[regarding the $10 bets]'' When the gauntlet is dropped, you must accept the challenge. === ''Pretty Girls and Waffles'' === :'''Bill Woslouis''': ''[choosing the lead for the school play]'' Go with the pretty broad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[to Ceela, as she and Ed are discussing her case]'' Excuse me for interrupting, but I just have to say: you are soooo hot! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[To opposing counsel, after presenting love letter that Dick wrote to Ceela]'' I think you're looking at a 7-10 split. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol''': ''[talking to her waffles]'' We have got some waffles, tasty tasty waffles. Hello, Mr. Waffle, Goodbye, Mr. Waffle. You are a waffle, yeah! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[to waitress, in response to a $10 bet]'' Burger me! === ''Better Days'' === :'''Mike''': Bullfights and machismo. If you gave [[Ernest Hemingway|Hemingway]] some bullfights, and a little machismo, he was a happy, happy man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': Shirley, those who raise the bar of expectation, bar the expectation of raise. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kenny''': ''[to Ed]'' I brought coffee... I didn't know what size you wanted, so I got small, medium and large. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kenny''': I always wanted to go on a stakeout. One of my favorite movies is ''[[w:Stakeout (film|Stakeout]]''. Even better than that was the sequel, ''[[w:Another Stakeout|Another Stakeout]]''. They really took it to the next level. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Phil]'' Stuckeybowl is a family place - a nice place. It's not a stripper kind of place. === ''Home Is Where the Ducks Are'' === :'''Ed''': ''[introducing the Festival of Ducks]'' Quack, quack. That's all I got... beer's over there! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[passing out fliers in the park]'' Hey, you like sex? Come to the Festival of Ducks! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[to Kevin, about his score of 6 when challenged to show his bowling prowess]'' I got 60% - if a presidential candidate got 60%, it would be a landslide.

Feel it. What was once a limber, supple instrument of healing now grows withered, leathery and stiff. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[to Carol, about Ed]'' Is this guy bothering you? Say the word and I'll throw down. === ''Your Life Is Now'' === :'''Troy McCallum''': ''[to Ed and Carol]'' Beer always tastes better in Stuckeyville. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[to Ed]'' What about that time you busted into our class wearing that fruity-ass knight suit? === ''Losing Streak'' === :'''Carol''': ''[to girls' JV basketball team]'' We are going to take turns bouncing the ball... and whoever bounces the ball the highest wins a Fruit Roll-up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': Oh Carol, I know about your attraction to me... let's just stop torturing ourselves, and let's start doin' it already! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Phil]'' I can never tell where the admiration leaves off and the condescension begins. === ''Opposites Distract'' === :'''Phil''': ''[to Ed, about laugh tracks]'' Can't do comedy without one. People need to be told when to laugh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[to Ed]'' Who would win in a fight - a big, strong guy or an invisible fat guy? :'''Ed''': A big, strong guy. :'''Mike''': What if the invisible fat guy has a whip? :'''Ed''': Is it an invisible whip? :'''Nancy''': This is the worst episode of the McLaughlin group ever. === ''Hook, Line, and Sinker'' === :'''Ed''': Stuckeyville... the place where broken hearts go to mend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Carol, at her birthday party]'' Didn't you wish for a deep, long, soulful kiss from Edward J. Stevens? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kenny''': I alphabetized all of these... I started with A, and ended with Z. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': I'm going to spend the entire $15 on curly fries... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Bonnie, after the kiss on her doorstep]'' That was the Shirley Temple talking. === ''The Music Box'' === :'''Ed''': ''[to the chief of police, after asking one question too many]'' You have nice eyes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[when running into Jessica and friends registering for the bowling leagues]'' Well, if I didn't just buy beachfront property in Coincidence City! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bonnie''': I changed my mind. That's what we women do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[as he comes to the door, interrupting Ed and Bonnie]'' Ed, it's 11:40. We got 20 minutes to save Bobby Hull Hockey from the junkyard...wait, wait a minute. Is your hair mussed up? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': Tonight, young Ed Stevens becomes a man! === ''Valentine's Day'' === :'''Bonnie''': ''[on wearing the 'hat of shame', while apologizing to Ed]'' I give you my personal guarantee that this is the single ugliest hat in Stuckeyville. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Carol]'' I say even if we marry other people, we still get together every week just to do it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': ''[Calling off the facial expressions for Chuck to try out on Phil]'' Sexy... cool... brainiac... impish... mellow... cute... supercute... Swedish... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[to Chuck, teaching him to be a ladies' man]'' You're a prancer. You've got a bounce in your step that says 'Hey, look at me, I'm a cute little bunny!' === ''Loyalties'' === :'''Mike''': ''[as he and Ed hide in the bushes, waiting for Bonnie]'' I'm not so sure about the superhero costume... I mean, the suit of armor, that made sense to me... a knight in shining armor, that's romantic. But this? Not so much. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': ''[showing Ed the surveillance tape]'' That's Kenny. He stood motionless for five hours... Kenny's so talented. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[to Carol]'' Whoa! You look great. Did you sneak off somewhere and get some work done? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[handing Big Rudy over to Ed]'' Ed, this is the man responsible for sabotage against one Stuckeybowl Bowling Center. You sir have been served up like a trout on a silver platter. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': In the criminal justice system, Bonnie Hane's day is divided into two separate yet equally important parts: prosecuting offenders and having lunch. === ''Live Deliberately'' === :'''Molly''': ''[to Carol after Willie asks her out]'' I just thought I'd spice it up a bit. I mean, why say "Hello" when you can say "Hellooooooooooooooo"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[on finding he is in a reading group with Jessica]'' What God have I pleased to deserve such a favor? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[upon seeing that Jessica might think he`s a little weird for loving "Walden"]'' This is just a big wakeup call! I mean, whatever, I only read the first three chapters, so the rest might suck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': Time is but the stream I go a-fishin' in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': Ed, Lewis and Clark had a journal. You, my friend, have a diary. === ''Exceptions'' === :'''Molly''': Albert Einstein was put on this earth to come up with the theory of relativity. Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone. James Louis Kraft individually wrapped slices of cheese. Molly Hudson's great purpose on this earth? Not yet decided, but I can tell you, for sure, what it is not, and that is to be a go-between for the greatest romance of our time: Edward J. Stevens, Carol Phyllis Vessey. Will they? Won't they? They fight! They're friends! Ooooh, what will happen next? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Jerome''': ''[to Mike]'' You don't get to disagree, you knuckle-dragging cretin! I have been a doctor for half a century. You have been a doctor since lunch! I am a man, you are a child! I know everything, you know nothing! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Jerome''': ''[when confronting Mike in his office]'' What a marvelous piece of craftsmanship! Whoever forged this diploma must really take pride in his work. I mean, it looks just like the real thing! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[reassuring Clark that he can trust Carol with his problem]'' She's cool. I mean, I've hit her with some pretty deep inside the soul type stuff and she's always been rock-n-roll solid with me. And I gotta say, she's opened up to me a few times. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': Bendy straws make drinking more pleasurable. I'm phasing out the straights. === ''The Test'' === :'''Mike''': ''[on how he and Nancy can earn money while they both stay home with Sarah]'' I figure I'll go downtown once a month, maybe work the hotel lobbies, sell my body to aging divorcees. :'''Nancy''': Well, honey, you really think we can live on thirty-eight cents a month? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': If you let me inside, I will take you on a journey of pleasure. Bite the forbidden apple, Carmela. You will find it sweet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': Ed, one of the goals I have set for myself as your legal assistant is to make sure that when you are drinking coffee, and you finish the coffee, your cup is refilled with more coffee. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carmela''': ''[receiving Mike`s thanks for "saving his life"]' That was nothing, Dr. Burton. I used the Heimlich Maneuver. It's such a wonderful maneuver. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[as Mrs. G suggests he play his clarinet like woman, and not try to force it quite so much]'' Believe me, Mrs. G., you don't have to tell Warren Cheswick how to make a woman sing. === ''Window of Opportunity'' === :'''Carol''': ''[after Ed says he'll propose if he bowls a strike]'' That's me moving to the edge of my seat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[when the concessioner tries to talk him and Donna into the movie combo]'' Ok, like, we can't eat that much popcorn and drink that much soda. For the love of God! No one can! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': Any date that involves the Jaws of Life can't be that bad, right? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Ari and Barbara as they stand at the altar]'' You guys screw this marriage up, I'll have to hunt you down and kill you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': I'm too much the gentleman to convey the details of my interlude, although I will let on that I experimented with certain maneuvers heretofore attempted only in the Orient. === ''Mind Over Matter'' === :'''Ed''': Stuckeybowl, Stuckeyville. Don't tell me that's a coincidence! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[talking about Ed, who is trying to get landmark status for Stuckeybowl]'' It's so much fun to wind him up and watch him go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': ''[to Harry, about Ed]'' Don't even talk to this one in the morning till he's had his second cup of joe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': Which do you think you could make more money off of: a talking dog or a flying dog? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[to Ed and Carol, who are sitting on the roof]'' Hey, guys! Hey, you gotta see this! Kenny's about to stop a bowling ball with his head! === ''Mixed Signals'' === :'''Ed''': ''[after he and Phil tell Warren to ask Jessica to the prom]'' Oh my God, somebody mark down the date and the time. It's never happened before, but I do believe that I finally just agreed with Phil Stubbs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[trying to convince Jessica to be his prom date]'' What if we just go as friends? Let's just go as friends. I'll buy you a dress! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': A cocktail in one hand, a show girl in the other. The casino staff catering to my every whim. To this day, the name Phil Stubbs is still known in many of the finer gaming establishments. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[asking Carol about her reign]'' I was wondering, how much power does the prom queen actually wield? Could you have like, say bombed Belgium? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kenny''': ''[on his trip to Caesar's buffet in Vegas]'' 128 shrimp, $2.99. Suddenly, the house didn't have such an advantage, if you know what I mean! === ''Prom Night'' === :'''Phil''': ''[to Ed, regarding his move to NYC]'' Hey Bosco, once I get situated in Gotham, would you mind if I give your ex-wife a call? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[when the pimp questions his given age of 25]'' Pendleton men have always been a little boyish. It's both a blessing and a curse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[to the escort Tonya, when he picks her up]'' Get out of my dreams and into my station wagon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': Look at me. I've got a thin tie. I'm wearing a thin tie to the prom! Woo hoo! I'm my own man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[to Mike regarding his relationship with Carol after the almost kiss]'' We're circling each other like Venezuelan flamingos engaged in a complex mating dance. == Season 2 == === ''The Stars Align'' === :'''Warren''': Let's spend another Friday night in my basement, eating my mom's zucchini bread and watching Battlebots. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': I knew it! I knew it! I'm going upstate. Oh my god. I'm going upstate to visit some guy with a name like Ice or Big Daddy. He's gonna make me his bitch and he's gonna trade me for a carton of cigarettes or a girlie magazine! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[to Ed]'' It would have been a much better story if you, Bonnie, and Carol all started kissing each other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phil''': I remember a time when television used to entertain us with the craftsmanship of writing, acting, directing. Now they just try to shock us with the drek of sensationalistic sewage. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol''': ''[to Ed]'' I'm not afraid of you being my boyfriend. I'm afraid of you being my ex-boyfriend. === ''Changes'' === :'''Ed''': ''[comparing himself and Mike with Dennis]'' Cool guys? Cool guys? No thank you, we'd much rather be a couple of dorks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George McPherson''': ''[on why he wants to change his name]'' Life's too short to be someone you don't want to be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nancy''': ''[watching as Ed`s "Hat Man" tries to pick up women in the bar]'' This is like watching a really cute puppy trying to have sex with a hooker. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Jerome''': While I pride myself in having a facile sense of humor, steeped in both satire and irony, I choose not to use it here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[after Ed makes fun of his pants]'' Dockers kick ass, Ed. === ''A Job Well Done'' === :'''Phil''': I manage a bowling alley. It's my job to trade in dreams and illusions. Oh my child, you wouldn't understand... :'''Ed''': Phil, get your hand off my face. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed''': ''[sitting on a horse ride at a playground]'' Look at me everybody! I'm a cowboy! Yee haw! === ''Crazy Time'' === :'''Shirley''': If this is the first annual party, how can you be taking it to the next level? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[on his pep rally plans]'' I'm gonna rock this hizzy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Molly''': ''[on accepting Jim`s invitation to join him at the Goat]'' I have the willpower of a lima bean. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Molly''': After all, it's Friday and shouldn't we be thanking God for that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[during his pep rally take-over]'' If you didn't come to party then take your shabby ass home, cuz Chezz-Cat is in the house! === ''Closure'' === :'''Ed''': Bear my children. :'''Carol''': Would you settle for a Velamint? :'''Ed''': Absolutely <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jim''': ''[as he takes Molly to the home of defunct video games]'' This is where fun comes to die. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Jerome''': ''[on Mike`s assertion that his MD from Johns Hopkins is preparation enough for the practice]'' You aren't prepared to sell fish from the back of a truck, you slobbering moose! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kenny''': ''[trying to break the ice with Liz, Ed's ex]'' By the way, I would have cheated on him too. === ''Replacements'' === :'''Phil''': ''[when Joe asks what he does]'' Don't try to pigeonhole me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[on Abraham Lincoln`s wrestling career]'' He'd throw down his top hat and start kicking ass! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': Don't tell anyone, but I'm currently developing the 5/8 Nelson. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol''': ''[on Molly`s assertion that she is in love with Dennis]'' I'm not obsessed with him. I'm intrigued by the enigma. === ''The New World'' === :'''Mike''': ''[when Nancy warns her cookies are hot]'' I have the pain threshold of a camel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cookie Mom''': ''[sampling Nancy`s cookie]'' This son of a bitch is a homerun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': I could eat stew seven nights a week. I don't, but I could. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': ''[on how to deal with the cookie moms]'' If things get rough, you could make them a cookie they can't refuse. === ''Goodbye Sadie'' === :'''Diane''': Warren Cheswick.

I want to start looking for one of those cult deprogrammers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[on dating Diane]'' It would never work. Diane is a cynic. Warren Cheswick is a dreamer. :'''Mark''': Warren Cheswick is a jack ass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lloyd Stevens''': ''[to Ed]'' Will you relax? You've got the constitution of a titmouse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Warren''': ''[on why he didn't attend a party]'' I decided to go down to the Home Depot and buy a whole crapload of lumber.

On May 17, 2005, ABC cancelled the series after 3 seasons. == '''Season 1''' == === '''''Pilot''''' === :'''Paul''': So Rory, what do you like most about James Bond? :'''Rory''': Hmm...I like that he has a license to kill. :'''Paul''': (hears car horn) Me too. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Kyle''': ''(answering cell phone)'' Wassup my brotha from anotha motha? <hr width="50%" /> :''[Bridget walks downstairs dressed in tight pants and a short shirt]'' :'''Paul''': Uh, Bridget, why are you dressed like that? :'''Kerry''': Must be casual sex day at school. :'''Bridget''': Hey, at least I get... :''[Paul turns to Bridget]'' :'''Bridget''': ...look good. :'''Paul''': Okay, Cupcake, I think you missed the word "under" in underwear because I can see your bra and that slingshot you're wearing under your pants. :'''Bridget''': It's a thong. :'''Paul''': It's floss. :'''Bridget''': I can't wear anything else. Panty lines - Hello? :'''Paul''': Panty lines - Hello, are fine. Actually they were a pretty big deal in my day. :'''Bridget''': Well, we're the thong generation. :'''Paul''': Well, maybe that's why your generation is so angry. You're walking around with a wedgie. <hr width="50%" /> === '''''Wall of Shame''''' === :'''Bridget and Kerry''': (both yelling at each other) I'm gonna kill you!! :'''Paul''': Girls don't kill each other.

Do you think you can drop by the pharmacy? :'''Paul''': Oh man. You know I hate picking up that stuff. :'''Cate''': No, no, no. It's really allergy medicine this time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cate''': Keep Bridget off the phone and out of the mall. :'''Paul''': I'm a man, not a miracle worker. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paul''': I do care, Kerry and I'll care even more when the game is over! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kerry''' (to Bridget): Could ya take the fashion show outside? Those of us who can are trying to read. <hr width="50%"/> === '''''Wings''''' === :'''Paul''': Mom also said I was ready for fatherhood. :'''Paul''': Off you go. === '''''Son-in-Law''''' === :'''Kerry''' ''(when Bridget tells them her new beau Travis is a Basketball player)'': He's a baller. :'''Travis''': Holla. :'''Kerry''': Holla back, brotha. :'''Travis''': Uh-huh. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Kerry'''(makes fun of Bridget shaking her head from side to side) Like, oh my God!

I can't believe how much my head shakes when I talk. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Paul''': Come on Cate, dance with me. :'''Cate''': Oh, no, I'm not going to embarrass my daughter. :'''Paul''': Fine, I'll dance by myself. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Paul''': What's it called when you're damned it you do, damned if you don't? Fatherhood. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Paul''': Bridget, wipe your feet and take off the boy. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Rory''': Can I sit in the cart? :'''Cate''': No! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Kerry''': He thinks of me as some sort of virgin spinster, like Miss Havisham.(Bridget has a confused look on her face) Great Expectations…? (Bridget’s still confused) Charles Dickens…? (Bridget’s still confused) A book…? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Bridget''': She’s in bed with him, and you do nothing? :'''Kerry''': We’re on a bed, not in a bed. Learn a preposition. <hr width="50%" /> === '''''Cheerleader''''' === :'''Paul''': Is my little girl a cheerleader? [''Cate is motioning to him to shut up''] :'''Kerry''': Yes, she is! :'''Paul''': I'm a little stunned. Why would Kerry even want to be cheerleader? :'''Cate''': Same reason you wanted to be a cheerleader. :'''Paul''': Yell captain. :'''Kerry''': I can't believe you're encouraging your daughter to join the airhead squad. Aim high! :'''Paul''': They're not all airheads, Kerry. :'''Kerry''': No, some of them are potheads. === '''''Trick or Treehouse''''' === :'''Cate''': Paul, give it a rest. You can't make the kids play with you. :'''Paul''': Play with me? They live in my house and don't even like me. They're not kids. They're cats. :'''Bridget''': Dad, do we really have to spend the night in that stupid treehouse again? We do it every single year. :'''Cate''': Every single year. :'''Paul''': Come on. It's our last Halloween tradition. Don't grumble, Bridget. You and Kerry won't trick or treat with me anymore, so now it's just Man With Ax In Head and Little Man With Ax In Head. === '''''By the Book''''' === :(''As Paul is reading a parenting book'') :'''Cate''': So what's the sudden interest after all my years of begging? :'''Paul''': Well Cate, I just figured it's time. Our daughters are maturing and you know it would be foolish of me not to use expert resources available right at my fingertips. :'''Cate''': They've beaten you down, haven't they? :'''Paul''': They're killing me by inches. :'''Paul''' (to Bridget and Kerry): You're both grounded, go to your room. :'''Bridget''': What! You've officially destroyed my life and you're like a life destroyer! I hate you! :'''Kerry''': I hate you too. You're the meanest father ever. You're meaner then Angela's father. :'''Paul''': Angela's father did time! :'''Kerry''': Exactly! :'''Paul''': (about the girls) Well, it's official. They hate me again. :'''Cate''': Aw, congratulations. (holds up two tickets) Maybe these'll make you feel better. :'''Paul''': Red Wings, center ice? Where did you get these? :'''Cate''': (imitating Anthony) Shoot. I was kickin' wit my partner Anthony W., and he gave me the 411 on how he got B to the K all grounded and whatnot. He was all, "Damn, Mrs. Henn, that's cold! I gots to make dat right!" So he hooked me these fazoon duckets. Know what I mean? === '''''Two Boys for Every Girl''''' === :'''Paul''': What's new with my little family? :'''Rory''': Well, no one loves your daughters. :'''Paul''': A father only has a few chances to put the fear of God into their daughter's boyfriend. This is one of them. :'''Kerry''': Why don't you just lock me in my room? :'''Paul''': Because your mother won't let me. === '''''Give It Up''''' === :'''Paul''': (to Bridget) Where's your mother? :'''Kyle''': (thinking Paul's talking to him) At home. :'''Paul''': No, I mean her mother. :'''Kyle''': My grandmother? :'''Paul''': (slowly) No, Bridget's mother. :'''Kyle''': (slowly) How should I know? :'''Paul''': One more smart remark like that and there will be a consequence. :'''Kerry''': My life is a consequence. :'''Cate''': You know honey, that would have more impact if you didn't say it every day. :'''Cate''': You know I think this family should go to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Sarasota. We'd hang out in the sun. It will be relaxing. We'll go swimming and I don't have to cook. :'''Paul''': Cate, your parents don't like me. :'''Cate''': I know that, honey and I weighed that, but I still have to go with don't have to cook. === '''''Paul Meets His Match''''' === :'''Cate''': You be nice to your dad today, he's got a lot going on at work. :'''Kerry''': Dad's the problem. He won't even let our boyfriends come over for Thanksgiving dinner! :'''Bridget''': Yeah, and like Dad's always telling us to feed the homeless. We don't even know them! :(''While Paul's talking on his cell to Cate'') :'''Paul''': No, Cate, he never showed. Some newspaper editor can't even make a deadline. I waited 45 minutes for the big jerk! :'''Nick''': Paul Hennessey? Nick Sharp, Big Jerk. :'''Paul''': (whispers to Cate) Don't call him that, honey. :'''Bridget''': (To Paul) Kyle can't even hold my hand without you thinking he's some kind of sex maniac. :'''Kerry''': And God forbid Jason put his arm around me. It's like he's already got me pregnant and dropping out of school! :'''Bridget''': And that'll never happen! :'''Kerry''': Thank you! :'''Bridget''': Kerry's so smart, she could graduate high school even if she had two babies! :'''Paul''': Oh God I am a..a... :'''Kerry''': Say it. :'''Paul''': Psycho dad. :'''Kerry''': Cool! Say it again. === '''''All I Want for Christmas''''' === :'''Kerry''': (trying to get people to adopt a dog) Make it a real Christmas. Take home a homeless animal...(scoffs at the person walking away) Idiot. :(''While at the mall'') :'''Paul''': Would you keep up? :'''Bridget''': I don't want anyone thinking we're together! :'''Paul''': Oh, God forbid they'll think were a family. Come on! Kerry's not gonna be with us on Christmas Eve, fine, we'll go be with her. :'''Bridget''': Okay fine, I'll keep it three steps behind you, only because it's Christmas! :'''Paul''': We're going to hear your mother sing a solo. :'''Cate''': Oh. :'''Paul''': Oh what, honey? :'''Cate''': Well I just realized I'm going to be singing in front of you guys and what if I screw up? I don't want to screw up in front of you. :'''Paul''': Oh, babe, you won't even notice us. There are going to be a couple hundred people in the church. :'''Cate''': Oh. :'''Paul''': Don't look at it like you're singing for a church full of people. You're singing for God. :'''Cate''': Oh. You guys can't come. === '''''Rory's Got a Girlfriend''''' === :'''Rory''' (about his date): I don't want to tell Dad cause he'll go "Awwwwwww" :'''Bridget and Kerry''': Awwwwwwwwwww. :'''Kerry''': Rory's going on a date, Bridget's smarter. (''slaps herself'') Wake up, wake up, wake up. :'''Kerry''': (to Rory) How do you know Sabrina even likes you? :'''Rory''': Well, Patches stole a note from Megan, who got it from Lacey, who was passing it to Katie, and it said Sabrina called me "hottie with a body," which is a good thing, so it's pretty much a lock. :'''Kerry''': Oh my God. You've turned into Bridget. :'''Bridget and Rory''': What-ever! === '''''Career Choices''''' === :'''Cate''': I asked my mother why she cut the ends off her pot roast, and she said, "because that's what my mother did". So I went to my grandmother and asked why SHE cut the ends off the pot roast, and she said, "because that's what my mother did". So I went to my great grandmother and asked her why SHE cut the ends off the pot roast, and she said, "because the pan was too small". So you see, the previous generation isn't always so wise. :'''Paul''' (to Kerry): You are kind of special! :'''Kerry''': Awww, Dad, that means so much... :'''Paul''': Not right now, I need to go talk to your sister. :'''Paul''' (to Bridget): Let me tell you a story. Your grandmother always cooked the pot roast in a little pan, so one day your mother asked her why. And she said, "Because that's how my mother used to do it." So to make a long story short, you're mother went to her great-grandmother and asked, "What's up with the little pan." And do you know what she said? :'''Bridget''': No. :'''Paul''': I don't know either. But you're grandmother sure does make a grreat roast. :'''Bridget''': Oh, yeah. === '''''Kerry's Big Adventure''''' === :'''Cate''': (sarcastically) I remember her as just such a happy little girl on the playground, smoking. :(''As Bridget and Kerry run down the steps'') :'''Bridget''': I am going to kill you! :'''Cate''': What is going on? :'''Bridget''': I just talked to Amanda who talked to Michelle who talked to Walker who's dating Josie that you... :'''Paul''': Kerry kissing Kyle meant nothing! :'''Bridget''': Borrowed my sweater! (''long pause'') What? :'''Paul''': (to Kerry) You borrowed her sweater?! :'''Christina''' (to Kerry): So do you want to listen to music or watch tv or something? :'''Kerry''': No. :'''Christina''': You're no fun. :'''Kerry''': Sorry. :'''Christina''': No, I like it. === '''''Come and Knock on Our Door''''' === :'''Paul''': This place looks familiar <hr width="50%" /> :'''Paul''': ''(after overhearing Bridget and Kyle talking about what he thinks is them having sex)'' Aha! Get away from- ''(sees they were talking about cinnamon buns)'' those cinnamon buns. They're fattening. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Bridget/Paul''': You are dead! :'''Kerry/Kyle''': It's not what it looks like! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Paul''': I have one question for you. Are you gay? :'''Kyle''': No :'''Paul''': Wrong answer. ===''''''Drummer Boy (1)''''''=== :'''Bridget''': It's just when Ben looks at me, it's like I'm the only one in the room. :'''Kerry''': It's a private lesson in our garage. You ''are'' the only one in the room. :'''Paul''': Hey! :'''Cate''': Rory! :'''Rory''': Oh hey. :'''Paul''': Where's Bridget? :'''Rory''': I can't tell. :'''Paul''': Rory, we don't keep secrets in this family. :'''Rory''': Ok. Mom's got yearbooks. Oh, you mean Bridget. She went out with Ben. I'm her decoy. :(''Paul leaves then comes back'') :'''Paul''': I knew you had yearbooks. :'''Cate''': You can stop building that monkey bed right now. :'''Rory''': Aww, man! :'''Rory''': Bridget sneaks in late and you punish her by buying her stuff? Who's a guy got to kill to get a monkey around here? === ''''''Drummer Boy (2)'''''' === :'''Paul''' (to Kerry): You get home right now! :'''Cate''': Paul, don't yell at Kerry! :'''Paul''': I can't yell at Kerry. I can't yell at Bridget. I have to yell at somebody! Rory, stop reading upside down! :'''Kerry''' (to Bridget): Mom and Dad would kill you if they knew you were carrying on a long-distance relationship behind their back. :'''Bridget''': And you're not gonna tell them, right? Because you swore and made a secrecy vow and you kissed my old boyfriend, Kyle. :'''Kerry''': How long are you gonna hold that over my head? :'''Bridget''': How long does it take for a broken heart to heal? :'''Cate''': Paul, just calm down. :'''Paul''': I'm sorry, sweetie. I guess I'm in a bit of bad mood today. This morning, I cut myself shaving years off my life as head of this family. === '''''Cool Parent''''' === :'''Paul''': What happened to a couple of friends over? :'''Bridget''': More came, so now it's a kick back. :'''Paul''': You mean a party. :'''Bridget''': No, no. Mom said we can't have parties. Twenty or fewer is a kick back. :'''Rory''': You crossed the line, Dad and you crossed it in slippers. :'''Paul''': I'll drive all of you in the mini van. :'''Bridget''': Oh my God. The loser cruiser. === '''''Every Picture Tells a Story''''' === :'''Kerry''': Don't mess with the middle child! :'''Cate''': So where's your family tonight, Carter? :'''Carter''': Wife number one is in Aspen with my girls. Wife number two went back to Italy with my boys. Wife number four, my current wife, she's vacationing with her mother in Martha's Vineyard. :'''Paul''': What about wife number three? :'''Carter''': We don't ever talk about wife number three. I love wife number four. :'''Cate''': Wow! A book! :'''Kerry''': Yeah, because something more interesting than watching a car drive in a circle is reading about it. :'''Cate''': You're the adult here, Paul! Why don't you call Carter and explain what happened? :'''Paul''': Oh, yeah, that's a great idea, Cate. "Here's the picture my son stole from your house, when do we start the book?" === '''''Kerry's Video''''' === :'''Rory''': [''when Bridget breaks her nose, comes down for breakfast''] I am not an animal. :'''Bridget''': Shut up! :'''Cate''': Rory, are you about done? :'''Rory''': Just about. I am a human... being. :'''Paul''': We can let [''Bridget''] stay home a couple of days. What's the harm? :'''Cate''': Paul, and I say this from a loving place... :'''Paul''': I hate the loving place. I'm always wrong in the loving place. :'''Cate''': What message do you think you're sending Bridget if you let her stay home from school? :'''Paul''': Her father loves her more than her mother. :'''Bridget''': I'm not going to school, Dad. :'''Paul''': Honey, you know deep down, no one is going to care what you look like. :'''Bridget''': What high school did you go to? You saw Kerry's video. I'm shallow. I get by on my looks. I can't go to school like this. :'''Paul''': A broken nose is not a good reason to miss school, to avoid life. Bridget, you know beauty is only skin deep and so what if some of the kids make fun of you. :'''Bridget''': But I'm not used to it, like Kerry. === '''''Good Moms Gone Wild''''' === :[''When a newswoman reporting at a local bar in Sarasota where The Hennesseys are vacationing. All of a sudden, they see footage of a college student whipping her bikini around.]'' :'''Cate''': Hey, do you see that girl? :'''Rory''': Oh yeah! Talk about ''News Flash'' ! :'''Paul''': Rory! ''[still looking at the News Footage]'', She can't even be out of high school. She's about the same age as, as a matter of fact, she looks a little like, alot like... :'''Both Cate and Paul''': BRIDGET! :'''Rory''': UGHHHHHH!!! :'''Paul''': (talking to a bartender) Living in a temple dedicated to my brother in law. With my two teenager daughters who hang out at a bar and my wife who I believe was the original girl gone wild. :'''Cate''': How was hanging out with Jake? :'''Rory''': Great. Being old is cool. You get to yell at people, park anywhere, take your teeth out. I can't wait. === '''''Career Woman''''' === :'''Cate''': I am so nervous. :'''Paul''': Why? You're a great nurse. :'''Cate''': But now I have to boss people around. :'''Paul''': You're great at that too. Like they say, do what you know. :'''Paul''': I'm looking forward to have a lovely dinner with my children. :'''Cate''': Girls, where's your brother? :'''Kerry''': Don't know. :'''Bridget''': Don't care. :'''Kerry''': Maybe he's lost. :'''Bridget''': Maybe a bear got him. :'''Bridget''' (to Cate): You look rested. :'''Cate''': Is that supposed to be sarcastic? :'''Kerry''': Oh Mom, I'm sorry. Bridget just doesn't understand that you've got more important things to do. If anyone should understand sleeping until noon, it's her. === '''''Queen Bees and King Bees''''' === :'''Cate''': Rory, you want to come to the hospital with me? :'''Paul''': Or to the newspaper with me? Big presses, jelly donuts... :'''Rory''': Don't make me choose between… :'''Cate''': Student nurses, bloody guys. :'''Rory''': Hospital! :'''Bridget''': I hate that Jenna. She's evil! Yesterday, she was like, "I love your vintage jacket. It's so you." So today, I see her and she was wearing the same jacket. Like she's stealing my soul or something! God, she is so petty. :'''Paul''': It's like a girls' mafia. :'''Bridget''': There's no such thing as a girls' mafia. Just a highly structured secret society with a set of rules and severe consequences. :'''Kerry''': There's a secret society? :'''Bridget''': No. === '''''Bake Sale''''' === :'''Cate''': The hospital is doing something to fight child hunger. It's called the Great American Bake Sale. :'''Kerry''': Great idea. Then we can create world peace with a kissing booth. :'''Bridget''': This is ridiculous. How am I suppsed to raise a bag of flour? :'''Kerry''': Add yeast. :'''Rory''': It's just nice not to be the youngest for a change. :'''Kerry''': Welcome to middle childhood. It's a real picnic. :'''Rory''': You're right. I'm feeling neurotic and ignored already. I think I'm gonna go cry for no apparent reason! === '''''The Doyle Wedding''''' === :'''Rory''': I would appreciate it if you could stay off the phone for a while. There are going to be a lot of women calling me. :'''Bridget''': Calling you what? Geek? :'''Kerry''': Perv? :'''Bridget''': Freak? :'''Kerry''': Loser? :'''Rory''': Not anymore. :'''Kerry''': They had a lemonade stand. :'''Cate''': That's cute! :'''Kerry''': They're in high school! :'''Bridget''': Yeah, it's more like a lame-o-nade stand! :'''Kerry''': And last week, they had a cookie stand! :'''Bridget''': Yeah, it's more like a lame-o-cookie stand! :'''Kerry''': And they even had a mud pie stand! :'''Bridget''': Yeah, it's more like a...I got nothing. :'''Paul''': (about the Doyles) They swing dance as a family. :'''Cate''': We're doing it and that's final! As a family? === ''''''Sort of an Officer and a Gentleman (1)'''''' === :'''Bridget''': I'm going to prove to you I can have a long distance monogamous relationship with my virgin boyfriend just to spite you. :'''Cate''': Awww! It's Donny Doyle! He's under Bridget's window. He's serenading her. :'''Paul''': (takes off his shoe) I'm on it. :'''Cate''': Paul! :'''Paul''': Cate, he's conning us! Those serenading mid-shipmen virgins are all liars. :'''Paul''': What do you like to do for fun, Maggie? :'''Maggie''': Well, lately, I've been using Ted's personal information to destroy his credit! === ''''''Sort of an Officer and a Gentleman (2)'''''' === :(''When Bridget gets a water bra'') :'''Bridget''': I am like so back on top with these things! (names her boobs) Hello, Mary Kate! Hello, Ashley! :'''Rory''': Talk about a "Full House." :'''Paul''': I just got off the phone with Carter Tibbits, NASCAR legend. I'm writing his book, so no big deal. (''Kyle and Rory ignore him and continue playing video games'') Riveted. I see. Ummm, we're having a disagreement. Now tell me, does this paragraph "suck" to you? "''My diaper was a checkered flag. My bottle, a can of 50 weight oil and''..." Oh, it does suck! :'''Paul''': (about the pregnancy test) Kerry, Bridget...Beach, Care Bear... :'''Cate''': (hesitantly) Paul... it's mine. == '''Season 2''' == ==='''Premiere'''=== :'''Paul''' (to Kerry): You could have knocked. :'''Kerry''': It was 7:00 in the morning! I thought you couldn't do anything until you had your first cup of coffee! :'''Bridget''': Mom's pregnant? I'm too young to be a grandsister! :'''Bridget''': Kerry, are those my earrings? They are! God, first you steal my popularity & then my earrings? :'''Kerry''': You forgot about your boyfriend! :'''Paul''': Stop fighting or I'm going to turn this car right around! :'''Cate''': Paul, we're in the living room. :'''Paul''': It's just a saying. :'''Cate''': It's a saying in a car! ==='''Sex Ed'''=== :'''Bridget''' (when she learns Cate is teaching sex education): So, you just say yes without even totally considering how it can completely ruin my life? :'''Paul''': Bridget, I think it's an honor your mother is going to teach you sexual education. After all, she taught me. :'''Bridget and Rory''': Ew! :'''Bridget''': Do you guys not understand what situation I am in here? I mean, Donny Doyle's coming in this weekend to see me. :'''Paul''': So? :'''Bridget''': So, people already perceive my dating Donny Doyle as a slap in the face! I mean, you know, he's older and he goes to the naval academy instead of his school, and then Danielle's going to this party this weekend, she's all, "You better be there," and I'm all, "Uh, yeah," but Donny's all, "Oh, no, I don't want to share you," which is actually very sweet when you think about it, but it's just the sort of thing that Danielle's gonna use against me, and then (points at Cate) you have to go and exacerbate the whole thing by teaching sex ed at my school! :'''Rory''': On the bright side, she did say "exacerbate." :'''Bridget''': Why do bad things always happen to me? :'''Paul''': Nothing bad ever happens to you. :'''Bridget''': Oh, yeah. ==='''''Donny Goes AWOL'''''=== :'''Rory''': Well, Bridget broke up with him [''Donny''] on that tape. (''Everyone looks shocked'') Oh no! I thought everyone knew! :'''Fred''': Your daughter broke up with our Donny... :'''Mary Ellen''': ...On our video tape? :'''Paul''': You stole Donny's harmony part?! :'''Paul''': Donny, you went AWOL? This could have serious consequences! :'''Donny''': I don't care! I'd face a thousand firing squads for Bridget! :'''Paul''': And you realize I'm going to have to tell your parents about this. :'''Donny''': Oh, no, don't do that! They'll kill me! :(''When Paul is checking messages on the answering machine'') :'''First Message''': Hey, neighbor! Fred and Mary Ellen Doyle... :'''Second Message''': Hey, neighbor! Fred and Mary Ellen Doyle... :'''Third Message''': Hey, neighbor! Fred and Mary Ellen Doyle... :'''Cate''': You know, you could return one of Fred's calls! :'''Paul''': I can't talk to you when you're like this! I swear, he would keep calling even if I changed the outgoing message to, "Doyle, you idiot, stop calling!" :(''The doorbell rings and Paul answers it'') :'''Fred''': Hey, neighbor! Kept trying to call, but I think something's wrong with your machine. :'''Rory''': There's something wrong with the answering machine? (''starts to play Fred's message'') :'''Paul''': Rory, you fixed it! :'''Rory''': But... :'''Paul''': I said, YOU FIXED IT!!! :'''Bridget''' (to Donny): You were in a fight with my dad? :'''Donny''': It wasn't so much a fight as- :'''Bridget''': That is so cool. :'''Donny''': A battle to the death === '''Goodbye (1)''' === :'''Cate''': (on the phone) Hello? Yeah, this is Mrs. Hennessy. :(''The girls arrive downstairs'') :'''Kerry''': Gosh, you are so jealous. :'''Bridget''': Oh, please, I debuted at number two on the hot list. :'''Rory''': Yeah, but she didn't have to do the things you did to get on it. :(''The kids try to get Cate's attention, but Cate had just received the heartbreaking news and is in a state of shock'') :'''Kerry''': (nervously) Mom? :'''Cate''': (fighting back tears) My... my keys, where are my keys? :'''Kerry''': Mom, what's going on? :'''Cate''': Oh, my... (''dashes out the back door'') :'''Rory, Kerry, Bridget''': (uneasily) Mom? Mom! :'''Kerry''': Bridge? Grandma and Gramps are here. :'''Bridget''': Is Dad with them? :'''Kerry''': No. :'''Bridget''': Well, then I really don't give a damn. :'''Nick''': (to Cate) You know I have four daughters, I couldn't in a million years work at home. Paul said he never knew how he did it, he just knew why, he loved his family. ==='''Goodbye (2)'''=== :'''Cate''': ''(reading Paul's last article)'' Okay readers, today we're having a little pop quiz, it's multiple choice, so sharpen your number 2 pencils and put your thinking caps on. Ready? Here's a quote: "Dad, you're an idiot." Now, contestants, this was said to me because of which of the following transgressions? A: Coming to the breakfast table wearing pajamas and black socks? B: Asking my oldest daughter if that guy I saw her talking to yesterday at school was her boyfriend? C: Referring to rapper Fiddy Cent as "Fifty Cents"? or D: Entering the room? Okay, pencils down. Actually it was a trick question. The answer is all of the above. Now do you know how many times I called my father an idiot? Zero. Why? Because I feared him. Back then we didn't share our deep personal feelings, our deepest conversations usually revolved around the [[w:Detriot Tigers|Tigers]] bull pen. But my kids, I can't get them to shut up! There's not a feeling that my kids are afraid to express over and over and over. And my wife reassures me this is a good thing over and over and over, and she's always right. So do I wish that my kids feared me? Well my house would be quieter, and I'd spend a lot less time in the bathroom, but no. Because I know that whenever they insult me whether it's a "You're an idiot," "You're a geek," or an "I hate you," an "I love you" isn't far behind. And it's the knowledge that my wife and kids love me that makes it safe for me to wear pajamas and black socks to the breakfast table. :'''Bridget''': The last words I said to Dad were, "I hate you." :'''Cate''': Oh... :'''Bridget''': (guilt-ridden) He wouldn't let me borrow his stupid car, and I said "I hate you." I had my dad, and the last thing I ever said to him was "I hate you." :'''Cate''': Aw, honey. I think those were the first words you said to him, also. :'''Kerry''': My last words were an insult, too. He was wearing his Michigan sweatshirt with chinos, and I told him there weren't enough Queer Eyes in all of San Francisco to help him. :(''Cate chuckles'') :'''Cate''': Well, I sent him to the store for milk, so the last thing he heard out of me was, "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." You know what his last words to me were? "Hasta la vista, baby." === '''No Right Way''' === :'''Bridget''': I never would've got this far before. Dad would never let me go out like this. He would've definitely sent me upstairs to change and tell me to cover myself up in some hideous sweater and then give me a one-hour lecture on how I should respect myself and how guys are only out for one thing and I always hated when he did that! I just want my dad back! :'''Cate''': Bridget... :'''Bridget''': Leave me alone! :'''Cate''' (to Bridget): Is that the dress you bought with my credit card? :'''Bridget''': Yeah, isn't it great! I mean, you have your boob dresses and your good leg dresses and butt dresses, but it's hardly ever you get a good boob-leg-butt dress, you know what I mean? :'''Kerry''' (to Bridget): You are too pretty for this dress. :'''Bridget''': What? :'''Kerry''': I just think it's for some girl who has to try really hard and you don't. You should respect yourself like was always telling you to. You deserve the best. :'''Bridget''': You deserve the best too. :'''Kerry''': No, I don't. :'''Bridget''': No, listen. What Kyle said to you, he meant it. :'''Kerry''': How do you know? :'''Bridget''': Kyle and I went out for a really long time. :'''Kerry''': Yeah. :'''Bridget''': He never said it to me. ==='''What Dad Would Want'''=== :'''Cate''' (to Rory): You know a lot of times people take orange balls similar to this one outside and throw them at basketball hoops. :'''Rory''': Okay, but bring it back. :'''Jim''' (to Cate): They mean well, honey. :'''Cate''': Yeah, I know they mean well, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in some kind of circus where the price of admission is a casserole. Step right up and see the grieving widow. ==='''The First Thanksgiving'''=== :'''Cate''' (to Rory): What is going on with you and your sisters? :'''Rory''': I'm trying to protect them. :'''Cate''': Aww, that's sweet. :'''Rory''': I'm afraid that they are going to turn into big fat whores! :'''Cate''': OK. Not so sweet. :'''Cate''' (to Rory): Honey, your job is to be a 14-year-old boy and a pain in the butt. :'''Rory''': I can do that! :Kerry (to Bridget): So, that's all you can think of to be thankful for? That you got the good hair? :'''Bridget''': No, I said it's what I'm most thankful for. :'''Jim''': And, what about you, Cate? What are you thankful for? :'''Cate''': Well, I'm thankful for my wonderful children, and for my great dad and my mom even though she couldn't be here. :'''Jim''': That's what I'm thankful for. ==='''The Story of Anne Frank and Skeevy'''=== :(''Bridget has scored the lead role of Anne Frank, and Kerry isn't happy'') :'''Cate''': (to Kerry) Now look, we should all be supportive. We should be celebrating. Your sister got the lead in... (''in disbelief'') Anne Frank? :'''Jim''' (to Rory): Aren't you a little old to be playing with a dummy? :'''Skeevy''': Aren't you a little old? :(''Cate finds a sullen Bridget in the attic'') :'''Cate''': Hey, Bridg. I thought I heard something up here. What are you doing? :'''Bridget''': Reading The Diary of Anne Frank. Mom, I don't think I can do this. :'''Cate''': Well, honey, when you get to a word you don't know, just sound it out. :'''Bridget''': I mean, how could I have taken on the role of Anne Frank? She's just so incredibly wise and brave. I mean, I came up here to see what it was like to be her. I just can't do her justice. I can't. :'''Cate''': Of course you can. :'''Bridget''': I know you never see this side of me, but it's true. Sometimes I can be a little bit superficial. I'm just not Anne material. Think I should quit? Because it's not like I'd be letting anybody down. There are tons of girls that could do a way better job than I can. I should quit, right? :'''Cate''': Well...do you want to quit? :'''Bridget''': No. I don't wanna quit. But I don't wanna embarrass myself. I don't wanna embarrass you either. :'''Cate''': Oh, that's just crazy, honey. But do you want to quit? :'''Bridget''': I don't know what else to do. I'm out of my depth. :'''Cate''': Wow, you really did read the book. Well...I don't think you should quit. I think you can do it. I know you can do it. :'''Bridget''': It just doesn't seem right that I play Anne. We're nothing alike. I mean, we have a nice attic, and a nice house...I can go to sleep at night when it's dark, in a warm bed...I can leave whenever I want...I don't know, my life is easy. I just have not experienced that kind of hardship. :'''Cate''': Well, I can't imagine anyone playing the part has that kind of experience, but an actor finds things to draw on. You know, you have had your share of sadness. Start there. ==='''YMCA'''=== :'''Cate''': Dad, don't go looking for trouble! :'''Jim''': I don't. Trouble finds me. :'''Rory''' (to Jim): I've got this friend who keeps showing up when he's not wanted. :'''Jim''': Ask him to leave. :'''Rory''': I can't. He doesn't have any ears. I mean he shows up all the time. He's there in the morning. He's there in the shower. I understand why he's there when Missy Kleinfeld walks by. But Hunter and I were have cheeseburgers and he was there too. :'''Jim''': Oh, yeah, yeah. You know when I was your age, my friend kept showing up too. We were like Hope and Crosby. :'''Rory''': Who? You do realize I'm talking about my— :'''Jim''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're talking about the same thing, son. What you're going through is perfectly normal. :'''Rory''': How can this be normal? I can barely walk. :'''Jim''': Calm down. See this is what happens with a boy your age. Well, in time it will pass. It's a phase. Usually when you get married it will go away completely. :'''Rory''': So it's normal. Good thanks. So what am I supposed to do in the meantime? :'''Jim''': Well try to avoid any situations where your friend, you know, tada. You know I'm always telling you to stand up straight, don't hunch over and get your hands out of your pockets. :'''Rory''': Yeah. :'''Jim''': Well hunch over and put them back in. :'''Jim''': Bridget, you're not going back to that job. :'''Bridget''': You're not my parent. You're my grandparent. You're supposed to give me money and presents and be cute. ==='''Get Real'''=== :'''C.J.''':(to Grandpa Jim) Oh my. Is that my Gampy? Is that my Gampa? Gaga, it's me! (''Jim stares at him'') Please, don't get up. :'''Cate''' (to C.J.): You told Rory he could get a girl to like him by practicing kissing on another girl? :'''C.J.''': I told him to practice. But I meant on his hand or in the mirror or on plush toys. :'''Cate''': You kiss plush toys? :'''C.J.''': No, you kiss plush toys. :'''Jim''' (to C.J.): You look me in the eye and you tell me the truth. Why did it take so long to come pay your respects to your Uncle Paul? :'''Cate''': And C.J., be honest for once. :'''C.J.''': I was ashamed. You know he was the only guy who said I'd be somebody and I never was. I almost called him one time when I was running the Tilt-A-Whirl but all the parents freaked out because I was dialing instead of "paying attention" to their kids. ==='''Consequences'''=== :'''Cate''': Bridget, are those new pants? :'''Bridget''': Yes, aren't they cute? :'''Cate''': Yeah. How did you pay for them? :'''Bridget''': Umm, with your credit card. Don't you remember? You said Lulu's is having a sale on towels can you go buy some for the guest bathroom use your own judgement. So on the way to the towels I saw these leather pants that were on sale and I remembered C.J. saying you're so wannabe without the leathers and my judgement said you don't want to be a wannabe and I thought judgement you are so right! :'''C.J.''': That made no sense, but at least you had the presence of mind to drag me into it. :'''Cate''': Dad, what did we say about hitting C.J. with your cane? :'''Jim''': Not to do it. It's cause of him I'm using the damn cane, tripping over his damn extension cord, bruising my hip. Now I can't stand up. I can't walk. :'''Cate''': Dad, let's be positive. There must be something you can do. :'''Jim''': I can plot my revenge. :'''Cate''': You want me to go easy. I would just like to know what's going on inside my good child. :'''C.J.''': The thief, the druggie, or the biker chick? ==='''Opposites Attract (1)'''=== :'''C.J.''': I remember in high school, I needed a duffle bag to carry all the cards I got. Oh, you don't believe me. I may not be much now as a result of some hard and yes questionable living, but back in high school, I was buff, young, and tan. Good looking. I was the man. :'''Kerry''': Oh yeah, show us your yearbook. :'''C.J.''': The man was sick on picture day. :'''Jeremy''' (to Bridget): You're not as dumb as you look. :'''Bridget''': Hey, you're not as dull as you look. :'''Jeremy''': Well, look at you. A grammatically correct insult. :'''C.J.''' (to Jim): You sent me all the way to Canada for aspirin? :'''Jim''': C.J., the pain in my hip is still here, but now the pain in my ass is in Canada. ==='''Opposites Attract (2)'''=== :'''Kerry''' (to Bridget): They're not geeks, they're academics. :'''Bridget''': Okay, I'm not an academic and I don't want to stick out. So is there anything I need to know? :'''Kerry''': Yeah, history, poetry, philosophy, addition. :'''Bridget''': Mom, CJ's been in the shower for 45 minutes and he's hogging the hot water. :'''Kerry''': Oh, great, now we have two blondes in the house who think they own the bathroom. :'''Jeremy''': Bridget I like you. I mean, I really like you. I mean, gosh, you're beautiful, you're sweet, and you're smart. At most I thought we could be friends, but I never would have dreamed that Bridget Hennessy could like someone (''Bridget kisses him'') ... I mean, you know, I'm in my world, you're in yours.... (''Bridget kisses him again'') Okay, you're being initiated into some club, aren't you? (''Bridget kisses him again'') ... Will you marry me? You could quit school, get a job. ==='''Opposites Attract: Night of the Locust (3)'''=== :'''Bridget''' (to Jeremy): What's the matter? :'''Jeremy''': Oh, I'm worried about chemistry. :'''Bridget''': Ok, I know Damian's back in town and yes we have great chemistry, but it is so over. :'''Jeremy''': No, I mean I'm worried about my chemistry test, but thanks now. I'm worried about your old boyfriend. :'''Kyle''': Damian's outside, Bridget, he wants to see you. :'''Bridget''': Well, if he wants to see me, why doesn't he come inside? :'''Kyle''': He says tough guys don't dance. :'''Bridget''': Then why doesn't he just leave? :'''Kyle''': He says tough guys don't leave. :'''Bridget''': Doesn't he know I have a boyfriend? :'''Kyle''': He says tough guys don't care. :(''After seeing Rory in a gorilla mask talking into his computer's webcam'') :'''CJ''': Rory, do you do drugs? :'''Rory''': No. :'''CJ''': For a second there, this all made sense. ==='''Daddy's Girl'''=== ==='''Mall in the Family'''=== ==='''Let's Keep It Going (1)'''=== :'''Jim''': Kerry's so angry. I've never seen such raw, naked hostility since... you know. :'''Cate''': The Korean War? :'''Jim''': No, your mother. :'''Kerry''': Give me one good reason why I can't go to the Maeve Festival. :'''Cate''': Actually, I'll give you three: sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. :'''C.J.''': Sold! ==='''Let's Keep It Going (2)'''=== ==='''C.J.'s Party'''=== :'''Bridget''': Mom, please don't ground me. :'''Cate''': I won't. :'''Bridget''': Oh wow it really works. Mom, can I have twenty dollars. :'''Cate''': No. :'''Cate''': You're not grounded. You're going to help me with the gardening and cleaning the rain gutters. :'''Bridget''': But what about my nails? :'''Cate''': I guess you'll have to cut them back. :'''Bridget''': [to CJ] This is all your fault. :'''Bridget''': I figured out what CJ stands for... Benedict Arnold. :'''C.J.''': That would hurt if it made any sense. ==='''Mother's Day'''=== :'''C.J.''': [Bad French Accent] Hello, Cate. :'''Cate''': [Noticing C.

One banana, two banana, three banana, four. :'''C.J.''': [Bad French Accent] What we have here, Cate, is a Trash & Dash. :'''Cate''': What's that? :'''C.J.''': [Bad French Accent] The coolest kids in school throw a party. They rent a fancy hotel room, trash the place, then dash out the door without paying. Trash & Dash. :'''Cate''': You used to do that? :'''C.J.''': I said the cool kids! I asked all my friends about it, they're like "no! It's a myth!" :'''Cate''': You know, that actually makes sense. The hotels, the beauty salon, the cool kids didn't invite you. Thanks, C. J. :'''C.J.''': [Bad French Accent] You have to admit, Cate, the world's a much more interesting place with me around. :'''Cate''': C. J., why are you talking like that? :'''C.J.''': I don't know. :'''Cate''': Corn? [She sits up] :'''Bridget''': [VO] The chips are potato and corn... :'''Cate''': [She stands up and knocks a bag over.

You created her, right? : '''Aelita:''' No. I woke as soon as Jeremy restarted the supercomputer. I don't know who I am. My memory has been erased. <hr width80%> : '''Ulrich:''' What if it's just a video game? : '''Jeremy:''' Then it's a very dangerous game. : '''Ulrich:''' You know what I think, Belpois? If that's dangerous, I think you should shut it down and call the police. : '''Jeremy:''' I will. But first I want to help Maya, to learn what she's doing here in this virtual world. : '''Ulrich:''' Oh yeah? What makes you think you can? : '''Jeremy:''' I know I can. <hr width70%> :'''Jeremy:''' "It seems that scanners tap into your own personal desires, and then digitizes them as a virtual avatar." : '''Odd:''' "I don't dream about giant purple cats!" <hr width80%> :(''Ulrich is virtualized in the Forest region for the first time'') : '''Odd:''' No fair!

We got to warn the authorities. : '''Jeremy:''' Are you crazy!? They'll be an inquiry and we'll be questioned! We'll have to tell them everything! And if hey discover X.A.N.A. they'll pull all the plugs out! : '''Yumi:''' And we'll lose Aelita! I know that! But we're talking about a neucular disaster! : '''Jeremy:''' Okay. Let's take a vote.

Anything is better than another one of Ms Schmidt’s math lessons. Even Jim, heh. ===Log Book=== :'''Jeremy:''' A what? :'''Ulrich:''' A diary! Sissi found it- And now she's blackmailing me. I have to got out with her. If thinks she's gonna win me over that easily, she's wrong. :'''Jeremy:''' Hold on a second. In this diary of yours, did you talk about X.A.N.A. or Lyoko? :'''Ulrich:''' Well, yeah. And Sissi says if I don't, she's gonna tell everybody.

I'll stay here. <hr width70%> :'''Sissi's Voice:''' "I'm tired of his acting as if I don't even exist. I can't stand watching him pay so much attention to Yumi. So while he was in the lunch room, I went looking around. I just wanted a picture of him, but I found much better than that. Now he can't possibly turn me down.

Come on! There are too many lives at stake. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' That's too easy. :'''Ulrich:''' Yeah.

It's operation, but Aelita has to give up her place to Yumi. :'''Ulrich:''' Can you bring Yumi back here? :'''Jeremy:''' Yes. But I can only materialize one person; one and only one. :'''Aelita:''' Then choose Yumi. She's part of your world already. :'''Jeremy:''' Okay, Aelita. But first I need to track Yumi in the digital void. <hr width80%> ===Image Problem=== <hr width80%> : '''Aelita:''' Hurry! We got to go and save Yumi! : '''Ulrich:''' Yumi? Yumi's not... : '''Aelita:''' The real Yumi! The one who's here on Lyoko. The other one was created by X.A.N.A. <hr width=70%/> : '''Aelita:''' It's a guardian. A sort of digital jail adapted to the body imprisoned in it. : '''Ulrich:''' I can't destroy it with my weapon. : '''Aelita:''' I can create a clone, a false image of Yumi. We can try to convince the Guardian that's its mistaken. <hr width=70%/> : '''Aelita:''' Jeremy's not answering. I'm afraid something's wrong. : '''Ulrich:''' He's all alone with the other one. If she destroys the scanners, its all over. : '''Yumi:''' The other? What other? Who wants to wreck the scanners? : '''Odd:''' The other...''you''. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' This is serious. One of us has to go back to reality right away. :'''Ulrich:''' I'll go. :'''Yumi:''' No, it's better if I go, Ulrich. I don't know how many life points I have left. And even if I have five or ten I won't be of much use to you. And also I have a personal matter to deal with: It's between me and myself. :'''Ulrich:''' Then you go. But first you have to de-virtualize yourself. The question is: How? :'''Yumi:''' You're armed, aren't you? <hr width80%> :(''To her X.A.N.A. clone'') : '''Yumi:''' You know what? You look just like me when having a bad day. <hr width80%> : '''Aelita:''' The fact that X.A.N.A. was able to materialize another Yumi proves one thing: It proves that materialization is really possible. : '''Yumi:''' That's crazy. X.A.N.A.'s trying to help us with our materialization program. :'''Odd:''' I'd go and ask X.A.N.A. He has all the answers already. :'''Ulrich:''' I wouldn't trust him. Look at the Yumi he sent us. :'''Odd:''' Oh, she wasn't that different from the original. :'''Jeremy:''' She sure was. I saw the difference. As soon as she started to flirt with me... :'''Yumi:''' Really? Do you have any proof that it's the real me you're looking at? <hr width80%> ===End of Take=== :'''Odd:''' Ulrich and Sissi working together on a film. This could be the beginning of a great romance. :'''Ulrich:''' Yeah right. She won't leave alone for one second. :'''Jeremy:''' Your real job is to be there in the factory, making sure that no one discovers our lab. :'''Aelita:''' Come on. It's not going to be as bad as all that. <hr width80%> :'''Sissi:''' I don't get this at all. Why did he leave us alone? :'''Ulrich:''' He probably to use as bait to attract the others. :'''Sissi:''' When you say "the others", Ulrich, do you mean that whole gang of yours? But why? <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, if I happen to choose the wrong tower, it'll be all over. You know that. :'''Jeremy:''' I have faith in you, Aelita. <hr width80%> ===Satellite=== <hr width80%> :(''Odd enters the main lab'') :'''Jeremy:''' Yumi's in trouble! The laser's aimed right at her! <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Yumi, to the factory! It's you the satellite's after! <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Ulrich, can you hear me? :'''Ulrich:''' Yes, Aelita. Have you found the tower? :(''Aelita suddenly notices a red glow behind the waterfall'') :'''Aelita:''' I think I have. <hr width80%> ===The Girl of the Dreams=== <hr width80%> :'''Talia:''' But if he's so dangerous why don't you just destroy Lyoko? :'''Jeremy:''' Because you...you were part of this world. :'''Talia:''' You're totally crazy. This whole story is crazy. You know what, if all this stuff is so dangerous, it's time you destroyed it once and for all! :'''Jeremy:''' Do you...do you really think so? <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Jeremy, stop. :'''Odd:''' Have you gone bananas, Einstein? What if Aelita is still on Lyoko? :'''Jeremy:''' But she's not, I tell you! She's right in front of you! :'''Ulrich:''' Jeremy, I know you dreamed of seeing Aelita in reality for months. But please come down to Earth. You can't be sure. And what if you were mistaken? :'''Odd:''' You mean you're willing to take the risk of destroying Aelita by destroying X.A.N.A.? <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' It's a Guardian, the same one that imprisoned Yumi. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' I heard Sissi say the new girl was an orphan. That's why she didn't want to talk about her family. :'''Jeremy:''' Anyway, she nowhere near looks like Aelita. The nose is different, as well as the hair.They're not similar at all. How could you possibly thought she was Aelita? :'''Ulrich:''' Did you say that ''we'' thought she was Aelita? :'''Jeremy:''' You'd have to be blind to think that. <hr width80%> ===Plagued=== :'''Jim:''' Yooou!! Two hours detention (''Is, in fact, Mr. Delmas'') Oh, I'm sorry about that, Sir. <hr width80%> :'''Jim''': Ulrich! Is that what you called "studying!" <hr width80%> ===Swarming Attack=== :'''Jeremy:''' Hey, Odd, did I really play better than him? <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' You think it's X.A.N.A. Come on. Hornets' nests have always been around, and accidents happen all the time. :'''Ulrich:''' You're right. But these hornets, they were after us and nobody else. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Ulrich, this is all on account of Sissi. :'''Ulrich:''' Don't you think I know that!? Because of her, I'm confused. Every time I see you I don't what to think. So just leave me alone, okay? :'''Jeremy:''' He's losing it. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Ulrich, are you with us or not!? I know you're unhappy but there's no reason to be! Our friendship's stronger than that! You can't let Sissi's dirty tricks break us up, will you!? So forget all about that. Please. We need your help. :'''Ulrich:''' You take Aelita to the tower, I'll take care of them. <hr width80%> ===Just in Time=== :'''Ulrich:''' You materialized a test tube. :'''Jeremy:''' No, airhead. Look inside, will you? :'''Odd:''' A hair? :'''Jeremy:''' To be exact, it's a hair of Aelita's. :'''Ulrich:''' A real hair? <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' But I'm not finished fixing the program! :'''Ulrich:''' Odd is in danger! Transfer me right now!! <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, I've got to deactivate the tower. :'''Jeremy:''' No!! You can't! I'll start over again! :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, you know there's no choice. :'''Jeremy:''' You'll be reformatted and disappear, Aelita! I can't let you do that! :'''Aelita:''' Are you ready for one last run? :'''Jeremy:''' No, Aelita!! ''Don't do it!!'' <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Goodbye, Jeremy. :'''Jeremy:''' NO!! AELITA!! :(''Enters the CODE: LYOKO, deactivating the tower and neutralizing X.A.N.A.'s attack yet again'') :'''Jeremy''' (''in tears'')''':''' Return to the past, now. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Jeremy, it wasn't your fault. :'''Jeremy:''' It was. And all that for a strand of hair. :'''Yumi:''' Hey, the hair! Jeremy, didn't you say the hair contained Aelita's entire genetic code? :'''Jeremy:''' Her computer code, yes, but- :'''Yumi:''' Is it possible to reverse things and recreate Aelita's code from a strand of her hair? <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' The codes are getting restored! It's working! :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy. I'm ready for my materialization now. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, did I miss something? Why is there water on your face? :'''Jeremy:''' I'll tell you later, Aelita. This time we only missed...by a hair. ===The Trap=== <hr width70%> : '''Jeremy:''' Aelita and I met one year ago today. : '''Odd''' (''in a whisper'')''':''' It's Aelita's birthday. : '''Ulrich:''' Yeah, I forgot. <hr width70%> : '''Ulrich:''' Man, it's already been a year since we met Aelita. : '''Jeremy:''' And I still haven't managed to materialize her. : '''Ulrich:''' I know. But we've managed to protect her from X.A.N.A. : '''Odd:''' How about we use our lunch hour to prepare a little surprise? She'd like that a lot. <hr width80%> :(''Detects pulsations all around the Desert Region'') :'''Aelita:''' X.A.N.A. <hr width80%> : '''Odd:''' "Too bad this isn't Lyoko. At least I have [[w:Superpower (ability)|superpowers]] there." <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "What is going on? I don't understand." :'''Odd:''' "It's something from our world." :'''Aelita:''' "Oh, I see. And am I supposed to do something?" :'''Jeremy:''' "We're celebrating because it's exactly one year ago that we met you." <hr width80%> ===Laughing Fit=== <hr width70%> :'''Odd:''' I feel really weak, Jeremy. Did anything happen during the transfer? Jeremy? <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' I just has a psychic vision. You have to go left, you hear? And don't wait for me. I'm too weak to go. <hr width80%> ===Claustrophobia=== :'''Yumi:''' Which region are you in now? :'''Aelita:''' I just reached the Forest and I thought I sensed some pulsations, but I'm sure. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Ulrich, how's it going? :'''Ulrich:''' We're prisoners here in the cafeteria, Jeremy. We'll never get out here. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Yumi will get here in time. I know she will. I have faith in you, Jeremy. :'''Jeremy:''' Oh no! :'''Aelita:''' I have faith in you. :(''Yumi pushes her away, causing the Kankerlots to be destroyed by their own lasers'') :'''Yumi:''' That's what I call getting carried away. <hr width80%> ===Amnesia=== <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Ewe. What are those ugly creatures? :'''Jeremy:''' What I was afraid of. They're nano viruses and X.A.N.A. must have created them to attack memory cells. :'''Yumi:''' That means that it is contagious. :'''Jeremy:''' Like all viruses, you can catch it from sneezing, physical contact- soon the school will be infected, including us. :'''Odd:''' A world without memory. :'''Yumi:''' Under X.A.N.A.'s control. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Listen, I can't remember anything, but I know there's something important I have to do here. Tell me what it is. :'''Jeremy:''' See those scanners? Head down there and you'll have all the answers you need. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Welcome to the virtual world, Ulrich. :'''Ulrich:''' Where am I? What is this place? What are we here for? :'''Odd:''' To fight, of course. :'''Ulrich:''' To fight? I don't know how to fight. :'''Odd:''' Of course you do. You just forgot. But I'll refresh your memory. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' You're jut dodging my blows. Don't you have a weapon? :'''Odd:''' I have a few arrows, But I'd rather save them for now. And I don't want to hurt you with them either. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' There! I win the game! :'''Odd:''' Sure. But you beat an ally. :'''Ulrich:''' Huh? :'''Odd:''' Now that you know who your friends are, it's time to meet your enemies. :(''Shows him where two Krabs are attacking Yumi and Aelita'') :'''Odd:''' To get rid of them, you have to shoot them on the place that looks like an eye. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Thanks for clearing the passage. :'''Ulrich:''' Huh? She's leaving? :'''Jeremy:''' Uh, not exactly total recall. <hr width80%> ===Killer Music=== :'''Ulrich:''' Odd and his music are driving me nuts. :'''Jeremy:''' You're not into heavy metal, rock, punk? :'''Ulrich:''' Not when I have to study for an exam. Is it okay if I study in your room? :'''Jeremy:''' Sure. I can even give you some help if you want. :'''Ulrich:''' I could sure use some. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Time to get up, Ulrich. :'''Ulrich:''' Too tired. :'''Jeremy:''' Do I have to remind you, you have a test this morning. :'''Ulrich:''' Didn't get a lot sleep. :'''Jeremy:''' How come? :'''Ulrich:''' Well, I'll tell you how come: "Oh, Aelita. Oh, Aelita, you're in my dreams. I can't wait until-" :'''Jeremy:''' Shh. She'll hear you. :'''Ulrich:''' Between you and Odd, I can't study or sleep. :'''Jeremy:''' Hey, you're not gonna tell anybody, huh? :'''Ulrich:''' Promise, Romeo. <hr width80%> :(''Jeremy opens his laptop that is directly connected to the supercomputer and the virtual world of Lyoko'') :'''Jeremy:''' Aelita? Aelita? :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, how's everything going? :'''Jeremy:''' Not good. Odd's in a coma. It's really weird. His heart has almost stopped beating. :'''Aelita:''' Oh no. :'''Jeremy:''' No one knows what to do. And the weirdest thing of all is that Odd may not be the only one hit by the illness. :'''Aelita:''' Bizarre. Do think X.A.N.A. is capable of creating disease? :'''Jeremy:''' I can't believe he was actually able to attack humans directly. :'''Aelita:''' Looks like he might have found a way. :'''Jeremy:''' I better warn Ulrich and Yumi. Meanwhile, see if you feel any pulsations. :'''Aelita:''' Okay. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Ulrich, I just spoke to Aelita. She's gonna see if X.A.N.A. is the cause of our problem. If he did this I can't figure out how. What I do know is that going to Lyoko is the only way to save him. So let's go. :(''Ulrich looks down at Odd's comatose form'') :'''Ulrich:''' We'll get you out of this. I ''swear'' we will. <hr width80%> :(''In the Mountain Region of Lyoko'') :'''Aelita:''' Oh no.

I don't understand. :'''Yumi:''' It is. It's the song, ''Glad When Your Bad.'' :'''Ulrich:''' Oh no. I think that's the song Odd downloaded from the web, yesterday. :'''Jeremy:''' X.A.N.A. is using a mediate for maximum coverage. :'''Yumi:''' He's formatted the song and now he's spreading it all over. :'''Jeremy:''' A deadly melody. :'''Ulrich:''' Considering what it's done to Odd we better deactivate the tower. Send Yumi as soon as she gets here. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' I'll send you north to the Mountains. Transfer, Ulrich. Scanner, Ulrich. Virtualization. :(''Ulrich is virtualized in the Mountain region'') <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Ulrich. :'''Ulrich:''' We gotta get to the activated tower, fast. :'''Aelita:''' Look, you see? :(''Pulsations continue throughout the mountains'') <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Everything OK on Lyoko? :'''Jeremy:''' Not really. Ulrich's frozen solid and Aelita's alone. :'''Yumi:''' I'm ready to go. <hr width80%> ===Frontier=== <hr width70%> :'''Jeremy:''' But- I already did that! The system is bound to screw up if it keeps getting the same data twice! If we keep working against each other, we're never going to succeed, never! :'''Aelita:''' I'm sorry. :'''Jeremy:''' No. I'm the one who should be sorry, Aelita. Forgive me. I shouldn't have gotten so angry. :'''Aelita:''' It's OK. But I think we should stop for tonight. :'''Jeremy:''' Aelita. :'''Aelita:''' Good night. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Are you in contact with him? :'''Aelita:''' Yes. Well, let's just say I think what he thinks. It's as if he were part of my mind. <hr width70%> :'''Odd:''' Ulrich. I can't believe you kissed Sissi. :'''Ulrich:''' If you tell Yumi, you're dead. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' I thought you were mad at me. :'''Jeremy:''' I thought you were mad at me, Aelita. :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, when you're in love, does it mean that you fight a lot? :'''Jeremy:''' Not all the time but it can happen. :'''Aelita:''' You should try telling that to Ulrich and Yumi. ===The Robots=== :'''Ulrich:''' "You thinking what I'm thinking?" :'''Yumi:''' "X.A.N.A." :'''Jeremy:''' "If so, Aelita must have been trying to reach us." <hr width70%> :'''Yumi:''' "Jeremy's not the only one who knows about robots." :'''Ulrich:''' "Who did you have in mind?" :'''Yumi:''' "Herb." <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' "X.A.N.A. no. Don't hurt him." :(''The robot scans and recognizes Yumi as its creator's sworn enemy'') <hr width80%> ===Zero Gravity Zone=== <hr width50%> : '''Odd:''' Leave him alone. He's got his reasons. His parents are coming to the game this afternoon. Have you ever met Ulrich's dad? If you're not first in everything then you're nothing in his book. And since Ulrich's report cards are kind of disastrous, the only way to make his dad happy is... : '''Jeremy:''' When he plays soccer. : '''Odd:''' That's right. That's why he's been training so hard for weeks now. He's gonna play today's game as if his life depended on it. <hr width70%> :'''Jeremie:''' "Odd, how's it going?" : '''Odd:''' "It's horrible!

I'm just fed up of all this. School Lyoko, back to school, back to Lyoko! And this is X.A.N.A.'s fifth attack in a week. I'm also fed up about what's happening to Yumi and me. once I get the feeling that she doesn't really like me, that she doesn't have any feelings for me. <hr width=70%/> : '''Odd:''' What if the attack is aimed at us directly? For example this argument between Yumi and Ulrich? Suppose X.A.N.A.'s just using Emily to mess with our heads. : '''Ulrich:''' I have an idea! He's using your ridiculous theories to distract us. <hr width=70%/> : '''Aelita:''' I hope you're not going to kill each other if I leave you two alone. <hr width=70%/> : '''Aelita:''' Strange. Usually the program doesn't involve any one of X.A.N.A.'s creatures. It's really weird. : '''Ulrich:''' You go. You're the closest. : '''Aelita:''' Now I understand Jeremy! It's a trap!

And if we destroy X.A.N.A.- :'''Aelita:''' Then I get destroyed as well. <hr width80%> :(''In the Ice Region'') :'''Aelita:''' It feels strange being virtualized. :'''Odd:''' Yeah, but you get used to it. <hr width70%> :'''Ulrich:''' "You can do better than that." :'''Yumi:''' "Sorry." :'''Ulrich:''' "That's more like it." :'''Yumi:''' "It's all in the wrist.

You gonna have to program our vehicles faster, otherwise we don't a chance against those tarantulas. : '''Yumi:''' You're aunt what? : '''Odd:''' Tarantulas. I like to give my enemies a name. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy''': Eh, there aren't any monsters in these woods. That only happens in fairy tales or in silly horror pictures, the kind that Odd likes. <hr width80%> : '''Ulrich:''' Odd, go to the factory with Aelita! Deactivate the tower! It's our only hope. <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' Aelita, the Overwing is for you. <hr width70%> ===Uncharted Territory=== *The Lyoko Warriors discover the hidden fifth region of Lyoko: Carthage, which they call Sector 5. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' And you think it has something to do with Lyoko? :'''Odd:''' Ulrich, there's a underground passage in the sewers from his yard, believe it or not. So the guy must have had something to do with the supercomputer. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Well? :'''Jeremy:''' I compared the signature of the archive to the deed I found on the internet.

She's not in any sector, really. : '''Ulrich:''' Wait. Can you explain that a little more? : '''Jeremy:''' Let's just say she's in sector that doesn't exist. A fifth sector. : '''Odd:''' A fifth sector? Have you gone bananas or what? : '''Jeremy:''' No. If I could just fix this thing! "Welcome to Carthage"? <hr width80%> : '''Ulrich:''' What's that blue ball? : '''Jeremy:''' I think the code word ''Scipio'' made it appear. <hr width80%> : '''Ulrich:''' How did you do that, Jeremy? : '''Jeremy:''' Let's just say I got a little help from Franz Hopper. Welcome to Sector Five. everyone. : '''Yumi:''' What does it look like? : '''Jeremy:''' A sphere, but...Whoa! It's probably bad news. <hr width80%> : '''Ulrich:''' Jeremy, there's this...thing in here. : '''Jeremy:''' Destroy it! That thing's taking away Aelita's memory!! <hr width80%> : '''Odd:''' You should have seen it, Jeremy. There were all these creepy crawlies and in the middle, this huge jellyfish holding Aelita. : '''Aelita:''' Can you believe it? That thing was stealing my memory! : '''Jeremy:''' One thing's for sure. X.A.N.A. wants something out of you, but what? : '''Ulrich:''' I can't wait to go back to the fifth sector. There's so much to explore there. : '''Yumi:''' I'll go with you. It'll be totally awesome. : '''Jeremy:''' Whoa! Hold on. I have to study it first. For now, it's uncharted territory. <hr width80%> : '''Aelita:''' Uh, you're not angry at me for going back to Lyoko by myself. I...I don't know what got into me. : '''Jeremy:''' It's all right, Aelita. We understand. And we're not angry at all. I promise to spend more time with you. ===Exploration=== :'''Aelita:''' Hey, why don't we explore the new, mysterious sector we discovered? :'''Jeremy:''' Sector Five? But we don't know what's in it. :'''Odd:''' Sure we do. There are monsters, ultra dangerous traps and a Scyphoza, as you call it, that wants to steal Aelita's memory. :'''Aelita:''' True. But what if there's something else there, like information about X.A.N.A.? We have to go back. <hr width80%> :’’’Ikiko:’’’ (to Yumi) You’re lying to us, what’s the matter with you? <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Just tell 'em that we're in a virtual world fighting against a demonic [[w:artificial intelligence|artificial intelligence]].

It's crazy! :'''Jeremy:''' Try to find the materialization code, so we can bring back Odd and Ulrich. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Jeremy, how are things going? :'''Jeremy:''' Badly! Head for the factory! <hr width80%> ===A Great Day=== :'''Jeremie''': It's gonna be a great day! They said so on the radio. <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' I can't believe it!

Sissi is possessed by X.A.N.A.! <hr width80%> : '''Odd:''' How did X.A.N.A. learn to possess people? : '''Jeremy:''' It looks like he's increased his powers. : '''Odd:''' Theory in, Einstein. But how? : '''Jeremy:''' With the jumps back in time. The Supercomputer is a quantum computer the uses the properties of qubites. Every time you add a qubite, its power theoretically doubles. : '''Odd:''' Jeremy, do you mind saying that in English? : '''Jeremy:''' Well, the supercomputer is so powerful that it can undoubtedly do it. <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' Anyway, we now know that X.A.N.A. can control people. : '''Aelita:''' We also know that going back in time increases his power. : '''Ulrich:''' We gotta be more careful.

Apparently, he had a problem with his notes. :'''Jeremy:''' Whew. :'''Odd:''' What do you mean, "Whew"? It's a disaster. :'''Jeremy:''' no it isn't. Last night when I came back from the train station, I snuck in here, and I copied the CDs on a restricted access part of the supercomputer. I'm the only one who can access them. :'''Aelita:''' You're a genius, Jeremy. :'''Ulrich:''' There's something I don't get. why couldn't X.A.N.A.'s ghosts take control of Odd and me but have no trouble controlling Jeremy? :'''Jeremy:''' No idea. :'''Yumi:''' I might have a solution. Apart from you, we're all used to fighting on Lyoko. Maybe that gives us more resistance to X.A.N.A. :'''Jeremy:''' Maybe, but how can we protect me? :'''Odd:''' I just might have the solution. <hr width80%> ===Saint Valentine's Day=== :''[Responding to what rhymes with 'tulip'.]'' :'''Jeremie''': I don't know.

He won't risk losing that. Deep down he wants her alive as much as we do. :'''Yumi:''' Are you sure? :'''Jeremy:''' No, but I can't think of anything else. <hr width80%> ===Final Mix=== <hr width80%> :'''Jeremie''': Kiwi, ''help''!

I don't get it. : '''Jeremy:''' Oh! I do. X.A.N.A. knows he can't let Aelita die. He needs her memory. Use them as allies to defeat the Marabounta. : '''Aelita:''' They're protecting me. <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' If this continues, all of Lyoko will be destroyed! <hr width80%> :'''Jeremie''': I'm really the biggest loser to ever walk the face of the Earth! : '''Aelita:''' You couldn't have known that my virus would be a problem. : '''Jeremy:''' A virus! Why, yes. That ought to work. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Look :(''The Bloks and Crabs bow to the Lyoko Warriors'') :'''Ulrich:''' Don't buy it, Aelita. :'''Jeremy:''' He's right. The Marabounta is gone but X.A.N.A. is still our worst enemy. ===Missing Link=== :'''Jeremy:''' Why would it go after you? We're aboard the mission. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' In my opinion, when the Scyphoza attacked you, it gave you some kind of bug, Yumi. :'''Yumi:''' Could it have stolen some of my memory? :'''Aelita:''' That's strange. It's my memory that X.A.N.A. seems to be after. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' that's not a good thing? :'''Jeremy:''' No! Aelita doesn't know that when she transfers the code, her memory will be exposed! :'''Ulrich:''' What? Are you saying X.A.N.A. will be able to steal it at will? :'''Jeremy:''' Exactly! I'm pretty sure that's why the Scypoza attacked Yumi. :'''Ulrich:''' So, warn Aelita, tell her to stop. :'''Jeremy:''' I can't. She's cut off all communication with the tower. So you two have to get to Lyoko, fast! <hr width80%> : '''Ulrich:''' Anyway, we still don't know how to save Yumi. : '''Jeremy:''' Don't bet on it! I just a great idea. X.A.N.A. has stolen Yumi's DNA sequence code. So it must be in his memory. And how do we get access to X.A.N.A.'s memory? : '''Lyoko Warriors:''' Sector Five. <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' Uh, Yumi, just so you know: Without your DNA sequence code, you're just as vulnerable as Aelita.

She would've tried get me onto Lyoko, so that the Scyphoza could steal my memory. : '''Jeremy:''' Aelita's right. If you ask me, someone or something wants to contact us through Sissi but it's not X.A.N.A. : '''Odd:''' Well, then who is it? : '''Jeremy:''' No idea. To find that out, we'll have to talk to Sissi again. : '''Yumi:''' OK. I'll bring her over. : '''Ulrich:''' I better take a look around Lyoko. I still want to make sure X.A.N.A isn't setting a sort of trap. : '''Aelita:''' I'll go with you. : '''Jeremy:''' With the Scyphoza around? No way! It's too dangerous. : '''Aelita:''' Jeremy, stop worrying about me. <hr width=70%/> : '''Yumi:''' Are you thinking what I think you're thinking? : '''Odd:''' Yeah. Good thinking. <hr width=70%/> : '''Jeremy:''' How's it going over there? : '''Ulrich:''' To tell you the truth, I have no idea. Has the super-scan detected an activated tower? : '''Jeremy:''' No. Still nothing. Why? : '''Aelita:''' Hang on. I'll send you a visual. : '''Jeremy:''' What the heck is this white tower supposed to mean? : '''Ulrich:''' I was about to ask you the same thing.

But there's something more. : '''Ulrich:''' Well, go on. Tell us. : '''Jeremy:''' Well, before Franz Hopper virtualized himself on Lyoko, and before being taken prisoner by X.A.N.A., he lived here on Earth. : '''Yumi:''' We already knew that. : '''Jeremy:''' Yes. But what we didn't know was that he had a child, a little girl. : '''Odd:''' Really? What became of her? : '''Jeremy:''' He virtualized her on Lyoko at the same time as himself. : '''Yumi:''' And? Did she fall victim to X.A.N.A. too? : '''Jeremy:''' No. She stayed on Lyoko. : '''Aelita:''' But that's impossible! If Hopper's daughter were on Lyoko, I would have definitely known that!!

But unfortunately, so is .X.A.N.A. : '''Yumi:''' Shutting the supercomputer down is not gonna kill X.A.N.A. anymore. What are we gonna do? : '''Jeremy:''' Same as always- We'll fight! X.A.N.A. may have become more powerful, but I don't think he's invincible! If he attacks, we'll counterattack!

Now for the first test: the Scanner. We're going to create a virtual image of you inside the supercomputer. After that, you'll be immune to the returns to the past. That'll really make part of the group. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' "He doesn't look happy to see us." :'''Ulrich:''' "Yep. Looks like me when I saw my father." <hr width80%> :(''As she is devirtualized by the X.A.N.A.-possessed William'') :'''Yumi:''' I knew it was a bad idea to bring you into the group. :(''She, Odd and Ulrich appear in the Scanner Room; dejected'') <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' Nothing can stop them anymore. : '''Aelita:''' They're going to destroy the sphere! : '''Jeremy:''' Almost there! <hr width80%> :''''Aelita:''' "It can't be." : '''Jeremy:''' "I couldn't rematerialize Franz Hopper. I didn't have enough time." : '''Aelita:''' "We've lost everything." : '''Jeremy:''' "William as well." <hr width80%> : '''Jeremy:''' We have no other way to fight X.A.N.A. now. The entire world is in danger. : '''Ulrich:''' It's impossible even to imagine it. : '''Yumi:''' And William...do you think he's- : '''Odd:''' This is horrible. :(''Aelita looks sadly at a photograph of Franz Hopper'') : '''Aelita:''' I was really hoping I'd see my father again. : '''Jeremy:''' I'm sorry. I did everything I could. : '''Aelita:''' I know you did, Jeremy. :'''Jeremy:''' What the!? This is incredible! :'''Odd:''' Well, tell us. What's going on? :'''Jeremy:''' I just received a coded message; a message directly from the internet. And it's signed... :'''Aelita:''' Who!? Tell us, Jeremy! :'''Jeremy:''' Franz Hopper. ==Season Four (Episodes 66-95)== ===William Returns=== *Lyoko is successfully recreated by the restoration program Jeremy and Aelita received from Franz Hopper. This brings back Sector 5/Carthage, the central region of the virtual realm. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Thanks to the data we got from my father before he disappeared into the network, Jeremy and I have just about recreated Lyoko. : '''Odd:''' You're recreating Lyoko? : '''Aelita:''' We may even be ready by tonight. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' "It's the moment of truth, I guess. Here we go." : '''Odd:''' I don't want to be a partypooper, but there doesn't seem to be much happening. : '''Aelita:''' The data my father transmitted wasn't enough. : '''Jeremy:''' I guess we must've been really crazy to think that we could recreate Lyoko. : '''Yumi:''' Hey, wait. Look at that. : (''The outer shell of Lyoko emerges in the digital sea'') : '''Ulrich:''' That's incredible. It worked. : '''Odd:''' Aelita, Jeremy, you guys are gods. :'''Jeremy:''' Well, sort of but not quite. So far we only managed to recreate Sector Five of Lyoko. We still have to recreate the other sectors. But we should be able to do that soon. :'''Yumi:''' It can wait a night or two. You guys deserve a good night's sleep. :'''Aelita:''' Yumi's right, Jeremy. We're going to need all of our strength to look for William. We'll get started tomorrow. :'''Jeremy:''' Well, alright. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Thanks, William. Without you I'd been Sissi's next victim, and that's even worse than... :'''William:''' Than becoming a prisoner of X.A.N.A. Is that what you're saying? <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Ulrich, there's something strange going on with William. :''''Ulrich:''' Why? What's wrong? :'''Jeremy:''' He left for the factory with Aelita. I picked up the signal of their cellphones. I'm pretty sure this is X.A.N.A.'s doing. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, what's going on? :'''Jeremy:''' Be very careful, Aelita. William's coming after you! :'''Aelita:''' What's the matter with him!? :'''Jeremy:''' I don't know! The tower in Sector 5 hasn't been activated, but it seems that William is under the control of X.A.N.A. You better get out of there fast, Aelita!! <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' What's going on, Jeremy? :'''Jeremy:''' Looks as if William wants out of Sector 5. :'''Yumi:''' But I thought you hadn't managed to create any other sectors yet. :'''Jeremy:''' That's what makes it so hard to understand. At the end of Sector 5, there's nothing except...the digital sea! If he jumps into it with Aelita, she'll be virtualized for good; just like her father! :'''Ulrich:''' Don't worry, Jeremy! We'll all we can to stop him! :'''Yumi:''' But for that we're going to need our vehicles. :'''Jeremy:''' Right. I'll see that you get them in no-time flat. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' You think William's gone forever? :'''Jeremy:''' No. I think he just went back to his new master: X.A.N.A. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Why would William want to drag me into the digital sea? I don't get it. :'''Jeremy:''' I think it's part of X.A.N.A.'s new strategy and so we gotta be very careful. William could come back at any time. ===Double Take=== *Jeremy gives Yumi,Ulrich and Aelita digital "upgrades and modifications" to their weaponry, and supposedly "amplifies and further develops" their [[w:list of superhuman abilities and features in fiction|abilities]] to somewhat higher power-levels: **Ulrich gains a second [[W:Katana|katana]] **Aelita now has angel wings to fly or carry a fellow Lyoko Warrior. **Yumi's [[w:Telekinesis|telekinesis]] is enhanced somewhat, allowing her to use it for longer periods without tiring out. The pill-shaped things above her eyebrows seem to help her focus it more. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Do you mind!? Some of us are trying to work here! I've already spent a lot of sleepless nights recreating the rest of Lyoko, and improving the virtual equipment for all of you. So, don't forget, that while you're doing your bad stand up act- :'''Ulrich:''' It wasn't me! It was him! :'''Jeremy:''' That William is stuck on Lyoko under the control of X.A.N.A.! And if we don't do anything, people are gonna start noticing his absence. So keep it down. <hr width80%> :(''Admiring their brand-new outfits and slight upgrades to their own weaponry'') :'''Ulrich:''' Twin blades? Quicker for getting a close shave. :'''Yumi:''' I love your skirt, Aelita. :'''Aelita:''' Thanks. Those shoulder pads aren't bad either. :'''Jeremy:''' Hey, you two can discuss fashion later. The activated tower is north by northwest. <hr width80%> :(''As Aelita falls, white angel wings emerge from her back, breaking her fall'') :'''Aelita:''' Where did these wings come from? :'''Jeremy:''' You like 'em? They're just a little surprise I invented in my spare time, Aelita. :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, you are the wind beneath my wings. : (''Jeremy blushes'') :'''Yumi:''' "Aelita. You'r an angel." <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' "Jeremy, William's trying to push in the digital sea!" :'''Jeremy:''' "Yumi! I'll bring you back in! Oh no. It's not working!" :'''Odd:''' "What do you expect? Everything's breaking up?" :'''Ulrich:''' "That's bad news." :'''Odd:''' "Only one thing left to do." <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' "Hey, what do you think of my new outfit? Yeah, that's what I think, too." ===Opening Act=== *Yumi utilizes her one and only special ability [[w:Psychokinesis|telekinesis]], which has been strengthened somewhat, as the pill-shaped things above her eyebrows seem to help her focus better. <hr width50%> :'''Yumi:''' You may be possessed by X.A.N.A. but you're still a rookie on Lyoko, William! :'''William:''' Attack!! <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Jeremy, where's that vehicle, huh? The old William was hard to get rid of, but this one's a lot worse! Ya! :(''Uses her newly strengthened telekinesis to perfect the targeting range of her Tessen fans, unexpectedly hitting William from behind'') <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' If you're trying to get a date with Yumi, I'm not so sure that's the right way! <hr width50%> ===Wreck Room=== *Yumi utilizes her strengthened telekinetic abilities for the second time in [[w:list Code Lyoko episodes|Season 4]]. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' This is a disaster. William's copy doesn't have the same personality as the original. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Aelita, get a move on!! If he leads you into the digital sea, you'll be virtualized for good! The same as your father! <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' You sure are a tough customer. Ya! :(''Telekinetically hurls a rock at William, but he shatters it with his Zeiwlander'') <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Aelita, you're going to have to wait before you enter the tower. :'''Aelita:''' Okay. (''to Ulrich'') One for each of us. <hr width80%> ===Skidbladnir=== *The group's virtual submarine is completed, which enables them to go into the digital sea and travel right through the worldwide web itself. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Jeremy, how's the virtual submarine going? I can't wait to go on a X..N.A. hunt. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' I can't believe it. Pretty soon we'll be able to track X.A.N.A. on the network. :'''Aelita:''' I may even be able to localize my dad. :'''Jeremy:''' That would be great, but we can't get our hopes up, even if it's still possible. :'''Aelita:''' I know. But I completely lost hope when X.A.N.A. destroyed all of Lyoko. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Hey, big shot!? Wanna mix it up a little!? <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' That's all we needed: X.A.N.A.'s air-force. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' You're not gonna win, William!! Better let your master know! <hr width80%> :(''Is saved by Yumi's Tessen fan'') :'''Ulrich:''' It's a pleasure to see you again, Ladies. :'''Yumi:''' It's always nice to feel needed, isn't it? <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Energy Field. :(''Defeats William by managing to create one large orb of deep pink energy, with some difficulty'') :'''Yumi:''' You OK, Aelita? <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' 3:59 and 45 seconds! 46, 47... :'''Jeremy:''' It's done. The programing for phase two is underway. :'''Yumi and Aelita:''' Yeah! :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, our ship is finally completed. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' My father used to read this book to me when I was five. :'''Jeremy:''' ''Viking Gods and Legends''? :'''Aelita:''' Look at that. It was about a mythical ship that could even sail on land. And it always reached its destination, no matter what type of wind was blowing. :'''Jeremy:''' "The Skidbladnir"? :'''Yumi:''' I really like that name. :'''Ulrich:''' Yeah. I like it, too. :'''Jeremy:''' Okay! Our new ship's name is Skidbladnir. :'''Odd:''' Or what about "Skid" for short? ===Maiden Voyage=== *The four Lyoko Warriors use the Skidbladnir to travel into the digital sea, and the internet for the first time. In addition, all five have new attire in the real world. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Hey, you guy see that dark thing up there? :'''Aelita:''' Yes. I'll shut the lights to get a better view. :'''Yumi:'''Aelita, you think that's Lyoko? :'''Aelita:''' I don't know. But whatever it is, its gravity is pulling us toward it. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Yeah. It's nice to be back on Lyoko. :'''Aelita:''' But it's not Lyoko. :'''Ulrich:''' Huh? What? :'''Aelita:''' It's not Lyoko! Hang on now! Retro breaks! <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' There's something else up ahead. :'''Ulrich:''' Hey! It's ugly and uglier. They look like some sort of eels. :'''Odd:''' I never met an eel I didn't like. :'''Aelita:''' Heads up! I'm breaking off! :'''Odd:''' I've seen spiked heels but spiked eels, never. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Get those congers off your tail and then launch the Navskids. :'''Odd:''' What? We're gonna fight them one-on-one? :'''Jeremy:''' Exactly, Odd, just like in ''Galactic Invaders.'' :'''Odd:''' Okay! Bring 'em on. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Hey, these are more riled than the Overboard. Gangway! :'''Jeremy:''' Now be really careful! If you get hit it means you'll be lost at sea! :'''Odd:''' Got ya, Einstein. Fire torpedoes. Unbelievable! It's up to you, Yumi! :'''Yumi:''' They're tough customers. :'''Odd:''' You said it. :'''Ulrich:''' Yumi, behind you! :'''Yumi:''' Okay, come and get me. Now! Got it! :'''Ulrich:''' Nice one, Yumi. You get better and better. :'''Yumi:''' Maybe but not good enough. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Careful. Don't forget that the Navskids autonomy is limited. :'''Yumi:''' We'll do what we can, Jeremy, but these monsters are hard to hit. :'''Jeremy:''' Well, don't try to work any miracles. Just keep them away from the Skid. :'''Ulrich:''' Right. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Hey, fish freak! Looking for some more bait? <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' I would never have guessed that the world information network was a real live ocean. :'''Odd:''' Yeah. With fish and everything. Big ones, too. :'''Aelita:''' To think that my father is in the network somewhere. :'''Yumi:''' Yeah. And so is William. :'''Ulrich:''' That huge sphere we saw. What was that anyway? :'''Jeremy:''' Another virtual world just like Lyoko. A replica that X.A.N.A. must have created from the data that he stole from Aelita. I really wonder what he's planning of doing with it. :'''Ulrich:''' We'll go and explore it. ===Crash Course=== :'''Ulrich:''' I'll go. :'''Odd:''' No. I should be the one. I already lost lots of life points, and you still got all yours. You'd be more useful here. What's more, that's exactly what we did during he swimming pool attack. :'''Ulrich:''' I don't ever what to hear about the swimming pool ''again!!'' <hr width80%> ===Replika=== :'''Jeremy:''' Unbelievable! You guys are on an exact copy of Lyoko, except there's only one sector- the Forest. :'''Aelita:''' X.A.N.A. created another Lyoko on the network? But why? :'''Jeremy:''' I have no idea. But you can bet it's not to save humanity. And knowing our friend X.A.N.A. I Bet he's made other copies exactly like this one. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, can you generate more power to the shields? :'''Jeremy:''' I think so. To reinforce the Skid I have to grab a chunk of energy from the supercomputer itself. :(''Aelita begins to use her creativity in conjunction with her energy fields to erect a shield of deep pink energy'') :'''Aelita:''' Isn't taking energy from the supercomputer...kind of risky? :'''Jeremy:''' We have no choice. It's the only solution I can think of right now. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' You look awfully serious. Did I scratch the paint of the Skid or something? :'''Jeremy:''' I'm just worried about this Lyoko copy. If there's another Lyoko out there, it means that there's another supercomputer out there as well. To destroy this new supercomputer, I'm going to have to find a way to materialize you into the real world from the copy. ===I'd Rather Not Talk About It!=== :'''Yumi:''' Hurry! Every second counts. :'''Aelita:''' I'm on it. But I'm not as fast as Jeremy. X.A.N.A. has sent William and some monsters into the core chamber. You two get down to the scanner room. We have to protect the Core of Lyoko. :'''Yumi:''' What about the tower? :'''Aelita:''' Guess I'll have to manage that alone. :'''Ulrich:''' No, not alone. Old reliable Ulrich is here. :'''Yumi:''' Ulrich. :'''Ulrich:''' I shook off the boar, but it went back into the forest. I'm afraid it could find Jim and Jeremy. :'''Aelita:''' We have no time to waste. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Are you ready? Transfer Odd! Transfer Yumi! Scanner Odd! Scanner Yumi! Virtualization. :(''Yumi and Odd are virtualized into Sector Five'') :'''Aelita:''' I already called up your vehicles. They'll be waiting for you in the Celestial Dome. :'''Yumi:''' Gotcha. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Hey, isn't that your boyfriend up there? :'''Yumi:''' He's ''not'' my boyfriend! He's a little too clingy for me, anyhow. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Odd, the first shield layer's about to give! We have to do something! :'''Odd:''' I know. And I got an idea. :'''Yumi:''' Oh yeah? What's that? :'''Odd:''' Skydiving! Woo-who! <hr width80%> :'''William:''' That was a volley shot! It's all over for you! :'''Yumi:''' And I would call that wishful thinking, William dear. ===Hot Shower=== :'''Aelita:''' The scanner is picking up a trace of digital DNA in the area. It might be William or it even may be... :'''Ulrich:''' Your father? Well, what are waiting for? Let's check it out. :'''Aelita:''' Okay. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' Hot. :'''Odd:''' Yeah, well, this is a desert. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' It's all over! :'''Aelita:''' No, Ulrich. Not yet! :'''Ulrich:''' What are you doing!? :'''Aelita:''' I'm forcing X.A.N.A. to make a choice. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Hurry, Odd. Devirtualize me! :'''Odd:''' What!? Are you crazy? :'''Aelita:''' Do what I say! :'''Jeremy:''' Odd, Aelita's right. It's our only hope. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' To win, sometimes you have to know how to lose. :'''Jeremy:''' You think X.A.N.A. understands that? <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' X.A.N.A. wanted to capture me more than he wanted to destroy the supercomputer. With me back on Earth, he couldn't do either of them. <hr width80%> ===Lost at Sea=== *Yumi's younger brother Hiroki and his friend Johnny have new outfits *William now has X.A.N.A.'s version of the Navskids to follow the Lyoko Warriors in the digital sea <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Take this, fish face! :'''Odd:''' Not bad. Yumi's pretty effective when she's mad. I got one on my tail! They're sticking to me like glue. :'''ulrich:''' Yeah, bulls eye! :'''Odd:''' Nice one, good buddy. :'''Ulrich:''' Wanna team up for the last one? :'''Odd:''' Yeah, let's do it! <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Hey! Where's Yumi? :'''Jeremy:''' Huh? I don't have trace of her. I've lost her! :'''Aelita:''' She must have gotten hit by a conger. :'''Ulrich:''' But...that's impossible. :'''Odd:''' Einstein, you think she might have been virtualized for good? :'''Jeremy:''' No. I don't think so. The data recording from the fight doesn't show any sign of her having been eliminated. :'''Aelita:''' That means she's still somewhere on board her Navskid, somewhere in the middle of the digital sea. :'''Jeremy:''' Yeah, but the Skid is no condition to find her. You guys have to come back in so I can run a repair program. :'''Ulrich:''' What!? No way! We can't just leave her behind! :'''Aelita:''' Ulrich, no one's leaving anyone. But all of us run the risk of being virtualized forever, with the Skid's systems down. :'''Ulrich:''' You're right. We better go. <hr width80%> :(''Adrift in the digital sea'') :'''Yumi:''' Can anybody hear me? This is Yumi. I don't know where I am! I'm in trouble! Almost out of power! Answer me! Somebody please answer me! <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "Well, Yumi." :'''Yumi:''' "Huh?" :'''Aelita:'''"Thought you'd wander off without telling us where you were?" :''''Yumi:''' "It took you long enough to get here." <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' "Okay, he's behind Odd. Big mistake, William. Fire!" :'''Jeremy:''' "Okay, time to go back the Skid and head back in. They're all coming home." :'''Aelita:''' "Not everybody. But one day, we'll bring you back, William." ===The Lake=== *Yumi successfully virtualizes herself on Lyoko *X.A.N.A's control over William is lost temporarily <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' You can never beat us, X.A.N.A.!

You ''swore'' to it! :(''Flashes back to the events of "Final Round"'') :'''Yumi:''' You swear to keep our secret? :'''William:''' I swear. :'''Jeremy:''' Good answer, William. <hr width70%> :'''Aelita:''' Just in time. Is something wrong, Yumi? :'''Yumi:''' For a second there, the real William came back, Aelita. :'''Aelita:''' That means we'll bring him home someday. <hr width80%> ===Lab Rat=== * This episode did not air on Cartoon Network but was skipped by the following "Bragging Rights" *Odd and Aelita are successfully teleported to the [[w:Amazon Rainforest|Amazon Rainforest]] <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' "Cool, Einstein! It works!" :'''Jeremy:''' "Great, but that's no reason to blow out by eardrum. Okay,where are you?" :'''Odd:''' You won't believe this, but we're in the jungle." :'''Aelita:''' "And it's daytime here." :'''Jeremy:''' "I get it. You're in a different timezone. You're in the [[w:Amazon Rainforest|Amazon region]], it seems." :'''Aelita:''' "Wow, that's exciting." <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' "But we're dressed like on Lyoko. How come?" :'''Jeremy:''' "Because the teleportation isn't a real devirtualization. Those aren't your real human forms that I materialized onto Earth." :'''Odd:''' "Whoa. Slow down a minute, Frankenstein. Are you trying to say that we're not really us? :'''Jeremy:''' "Yes, you're you. But those aren't your real bodies. More like some kind of specters in the image of your virtual manifestations." :'''Odd:''' "Aelita and I became specters? Wow! Pretty impressive, huh?" :'''Jeremy:''' "If you say so. Anyway, hurry up and find the supercomputer. The teleportation won't last forever." :'''Aelita:''' "How long have we got?" :'''Jeremy:''' "fifty-two, thirty, thirteen minutes." :'''Odd:''' "The guy's a comedian. And just where does he expect us to find the supercomputer? Behind a tree?" :'''Aelita:''' "Good guess, Odd." <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' "Yumi, wait. Can't we make up? Look, if someone forgot my birthday, I wouldn't make a big deal out of it." :'''Yumi:''' "That's because I never ever forget it!" :'''Ulrich:''' "Ugh! Okay, not you...but what I mean is-" :'''Yumi:''' "Look, quit while your ahead! You're just making things worse." <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' "Jeremy, X.A.N.A.'s on the move again." :'''Jeremy:''' "Okay, Yumi. Two vehicles, coming right up." :'''Ulrich:''' "I'll take care of Handsome." :'''Yumi:''' "Yeah right." :'''Jeremy:''' "Be careful. If the Skid gets disconnected from the tower, it's mission over for Aelita and Odd." :'''Yumi:''' "We're try to make life miserable for the enemy. Don't worry." <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "Right or left?" :'''Odd:''' "Through there." :'''Aelita:''' "How can you be so sure?" :'''Odd:''' "Because my sense of direction is infallible." :'''Aelita:''' "Hmm." <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Not so fast, pretty boy! :(''Uses her telekinesis on her Tessen fans to perfect their targeting range, but William catches and disintegrates them'') :'''William:''' It's over, Yumi! :'''Yumi:''' Jeremy, mayday!

Let me see what I can come up with." <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "Now we gotta get rid of this thing for good." :'''Odd:''' "Let me handle this one. Laser Arrow! I don't believe this." :'''Aelita:''' "Jeremy, we have a problem- the supercomputer has an energy shield around it." :'''Jeremy:''' "You have to find where the shield is getting its energy from. I can't do anything from here." <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "There! That must the lenses projecting the energy shield. If we destroy it, there's a good chance we'll deactivate the shield." :'''Odd:''' "You could've found me a better target. No one could possibly hit from this distance.

At least, not for now. <hr width50%> :'''Odd:''' Replica, here we come. Odd's the best! The greatest! The lame brain, and breaking machine! :'''Ulrich:''' "Lame" sounds right. I don't know about the rest. Don't forget who saved you from the digital sea last time. <hr width50%> :(''Yumi uses her [[w:Telekinesis|telekinetic]] abilities to use Odd's Overboard to destroy a Creeper from a distance'') :'''Odd:''' Oh no! My Overboard! :'''Yumi:''' Another one bites the dust. :'''Odd:''' Don't even do that again! I'm telling you! I hope you didn't mess up the paint-job. <hr width50%> :'''William:''' Now, you're going to witness the total destruction of the supercomputer, and your gang of friends! <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' William set a delayed virtualization. He's going back to the network. Most of all, he managed to cut the clone system. But I managed to stop the process in time. <hr width50%> :'''Milly:''' How long have you been fighting against X.A.N.A.? :'''Jeremy:''' We began about two years ago. :'''Tamiya:''' And do you do this a lot? :'''Odd:''' Are you kidding? We fight X.A.N.A. almost every day. :'''Milly:''' Wow. This has gotta be the best scoop we ever had. :'''Jeremy:''' The reason you're not going to remember any of this is- Return to the past, now! <hr width50%> ===Distant Memory=== *Aelita's long-lost mother Anthea, appears in a nightmare and flashback, revealing that had been abducted by the men in black. *Franz Hopper himself finally appears, as a white floating orb of white light, but has no lines. *Team Lyoko realize that X.A.N.A.'s goal was to lure Franz Hopper out of hiding into the digital sea in order to destroy him once and for all. *This marks the last appearances of Jeremie's father, Michael Belpois, and Ulrich's parents. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Daddy? Where are you? "There isn't much time." Time for what? "See you in a minute, my dear"? <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' You know when I said how everything was the same as I remembered it, I meant it. :'''Franz Hopper:''' I'm glad you like it. :'''Aelita:''' Everything's here except for one little thing. :'''Franz Hopper:''' Oh? And what's that? :'''Aelita:''' My mother. :'''Franz Hopper:''' But...you remember, dear. Your mother disappeared. :'''Aelita:''' Yes and I want to see her again more than anything in the world, and you know that. You've always known. And since your a perfectionist you'd have had recreated her here in the simulation bubble. That is- Unless you weren't really my ''father!'' :'''Franz Hopper:''' "Aelita!" :'''Aelita:''' "Stay away from me, X.A.N.A.!" :'''William:''' "Hello, Aelita." <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' "Something's fishy." :'''Yumi:''' "What if it was Hopper who contracted Aelita?" :'''Jeremy:''' "X.A.N.A.'s puled this on us before. I don't think Hopper would risk this with his own daughter. Aelita is somewhere in the Ice Sector. Huh? In a simulation bubble?" :'''Yumi:''' "She's in a what?" :'''Jeremy:''' "A copy of a real world. A sort of ghost channel. Aelita's fallen into a trap." <hr width80%> :'''William:''' "It doesn't matter. You'll lose no matter what, Aelita." :'''Aelita:''' "Not yet." <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' "It's pretty obvious." :'''Odd:''' "There he goes again." :'''Jeremy:''' "You see, when Lyoko was destroyed, Hopper wasn't spread all over the network. He managed to escape." :'''Yumi:''' "He disappeared on purpose, is that it?" :'''Jeremy:''' "That's right. To get way from X.A.N.A. which is why he's constantly trying throw Aelita into the digital sea all the time. He knows that's the only way to get Hopper to come out of hiding." :'''Ulrich:''' "In order to destroy him." :'''Aelita:''' "As long as my father is alive, he'll always be a big threat to X.A.N.A." :'''Jeremy:''' "And our friend X.A.N.A. knows it." ===Hard Luck=== *Thanks to Ulrich, the Desert Replica is destroyed, which further depletes X.A.N.A.'s strength. *Yumi uses her telekinetic abilities for a fifth time in order to beat William. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' In Japan people avoid anything to do with the number four because it sounds like the word for "death." <hr width50%> :'''Jeremy:''' I don't believe this! Ulrich, Aelita just got devirtualized. It looks like you're on your own with the Kankerlots. :'''Ulrich:''' Look, I know I'm good, but there are several of these creeps. I could go down on this and that'll blow the whole mission. <hr width50%> :(''Yumi just gets randomly devirtualized'') :'''Jeremy:''' I can't believe how jinxed we are today. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Ulrich, you want some good news? :'''Ulrich:''' Yes. :'''Jeremy:''' Sorry, don't have any. Long story short: : You're still on your own, the tower still's activated, and you're probably gonna get that bug I can't fix. :'''Ulrich:''' Is that all? <hr width50%> ===Guided Missile=== <hr width50%> :(''Taps Aelita on the shoulder'') :'''William:''' I been expecting you. <hr width50%> ===Kadic Bombshell=== ===Canine Conundrum=== <hr width80%> :(''In the digital sea'') :'''Odd:''' "Yumi, where are you?" :'''Yumi:''' "I can't shake the guy!" :'''Odd:''' "Okay, Yumi, I'm with you! Hey, tall dark and handsome. You'll get anywhere with her if you don't back off a little. Take my advice: Give her some room." <hr width80%> :(''Gets accidentally devirtualized by Aelita's energy field'') :'''Odd:''' "Hey!" :'''William:''' "Good shot, Aelita. Heh." <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' "Odd, Aelita just fell into the digital sea!" :'''Odd:''' "Huh?" <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "Did you expect my father to show up to bail me out? He won't be coming today. Surprise! I can duplicate myself, too." <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "And when I saw how the Kiwis multiplied themselves, I decided to do the same. The rest was easy." :'''Jeremy:''' "Aelita, you are truly amazing." :'''Odd:''' "And who do you guys thank?" :'''Ulrich:''' You?" :'''Odd:''' "No. Kiwi. Who do you think reloaded my laser arrows?" ===A Space Oddity=== *The replica of Carthage (Sector 5) appears and is successfully destroyed. Its quantum supercomputer was located in a satellite orbiting the Earth in outer space. <hr width50%> :'''Jeremy:''' I don't have to remind you that the more replicas we destroy, the more we weaken X.A.N.A. :'''Odd:''' You don't have to remind us, Einstein. If we can find the new supercomputer, we might be able to know what's X.A.N.A.'s plotting. :'''Jeremy:''' You'd get good grades if you as good as that in school. <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' What do you think it's gonna be this time? :'''Yumi:''' It could be a replica of the Ice Sector. :'''Ulrich:''' My guess is Mountain. What do you think, Odd? <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' What do you know? We were all wrong. Welcome to a replica of Sector 5. <hr width50%> :'''Yumi:''' Hey, look at this, Odd. :(''Able to see their own home world from out space'') :'''Odd:''' Wow. Incredible. :'''Yumi:''' Yes and yet it seems so fragile. <hr width50%> :'''Odd:''' X.A.N.A.'s sure having a ball. And lots of 'em. :'''Yumi:''' Stop the joking, Odd! Those things could reverse the teleportation! If we fail this mission, X.A.N.A. wins! ===Cousins Once Removed=== ===Music Soothes the Savage Beast=== <hr width50%> :'''Odd:''' "Auto flight pattern and pincer slip." :'''Yumi:''' "What's that in English?" :'''Odd:''' "Let's go." <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' "Nice one, Yumi." :'''Yumi:''' "Thank you. Ready for the tall dark bad guy?" :'''Odd:''' "Uh, I think we have an audience." <hr width50%> :'''Yumi:''' Odd, trampoline spinning top action!" <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' "Auto flight pattern and pincer sleep." :'''Odd:''' "Are you speaking English?" <hr width80%> :'''William:''' "It's game over, Yumi." :''''Yumi:''' "For you, too, Handsome." <hr width80%> ===Wrong Exposure=== *Aelita's long-lost mother, who had debuted in flashbacks in the Season 2 finale "The Key", is revealed to be named Anthea; "Hopper" being her maiden name. Franz Hopper's full name is Waldo Franz Shaceffer <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' Yeah. My former life." :'''Jeremy:''' "What is it?" :'''Aelita:''' "Nothing. Just a picture of me and my father." :'''Jeremy:''' You and your father? That's so great that you found it. Can I see it? You look so happy. :'''Aelita:''' Unless it was the last photo taken with Daddy, just before...You know. Before... <hr width80%> :'''Jim:''' You heard the principal, young lady! No more fun and games! <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' No, Delmas couldn't possible know me. My father may have been a teacher here, but I studied at home. So I never attended Kadic. :'''Yumi:''' So, no chance of finding anything on "Aelita Hopper." :'''Aelita:''' No, none. Especially since my name isn't Hopper. Shaffer is my real name. When we moved to the Hermitage, my father wanted to make a brand new start. Franz was his middle name, Hopper is my mother's maiden name. <hr width50%> ===Bad Connection=== *This is the first and final last appearance of Odd's parents, Mr and Mrs. della Robbia, from Norway. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' "How does Odd manage to pilot this thing?" :'''Aelita:''' "He's not afraid of falling." <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' "I'm afraid." <hr width80%> ===Heart of Stone=== *The replica of the Mountain Region is revealed, its quantum supercomputer in the Rocky Mountains *Yumi utilizes her somewhat strengthene ===Cold Sweat=== *A replica of the Ice Sector first appears; its miniature quantum supercomputer is located in the snowy regions of [[w:Siberia|Siberia]]. *X.A.N.A. has finally succeeded in teleporting William to Earth, as well creating a new and more powerful monster- the mighty Kolossus. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy. :'''Jeremy:''' A problem? :'''Aelita:''' This tower runs William's teleportation mode, and maybe several programs that X.A.N.A. uses to control him. :'''Jeremy:''' And? :'''Aelita:''' So if we hack into the data we could find a way to free William. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Okay, Aelita. I got what I needed. You can enter the ''Code: LYOKO''. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "Jeremy, X.A.N.A.'s created a new kind of monster and he's gigantic! He could destroy the Skid in the fraction of a second!" ===Down to Earth=== *William is successfully released from X.A.N.A.'s mind control. *The Skidbladnir is destroyed by the mighty Kolossus. <hr width80%> :'''Yumi:''' Good news? :'''Jeremy:''' Just a little. I finally figured a way to wipe out X.A.N.A. :(''Aelita, Yumi. Odd and Ulrich are all shocked'') <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' Odd, come on! :(Has his circular purple shield to defend himself'') :'''Odd:''' I'll hold them off! Get William home. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' It's entered, Jeremy. <hr width50%> :'''Jeremy:''' X.A.N.A. is drawing strength from all of the replicas. And I don't like that at all. <hr width50%> :'''Jeremy:''' Don't say that, Odd. X.A.N.A.'s just lost his most dangerous weapon: William. :'''Yumi:''' In the meantime, we lost the Skid. It'll take months to program another one. <hr width50%> ===Fight to the Finish=== *The Kolossus is defeated by Ulrich, who ends up being devirtualized immediately afterward. *Sadly, Franz Hopper expires, due to the never-ceasing laser blasts of two Mantas. However, his ultimate sacrifice had provided Jeremy's multi-agent program enough energy to obliterate X.A.N.A. entirely, though only [[w:Code Lyoko: Evolution |temporarily]]. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' It's not fair for us to threat him like that. He's not our enemy now. :'''Odd:''' Maybe not now but he was X.A.N.A.'s trusty ally. :'''Aelita:''' Not of his own free will. :'''Ulrich:''' But it was his fault, too. If he hadn't started playing the hero the Schypoza wouldn't have caught him. :'''Aelita:''' The Scypozoa caught me, too, lots of times. And it could've happened to any of you. <hr width50%> :'''Yumi:''' We're gonna get rid of X.A.N.A., Aelita. :'''Aelita:''' No, it's not that. At least, not entirely. I got a- a premonition, that all of this is gonna have a bad ending. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Anyway, what's all this about my father? :'''Jeremy:''' Franz Hopper sent me some really important data and coordinates. He's preparing something on the Ice Sector, something really critical. :'''Aelita:''' Critical in what way? :'''Jeremy:''' I wish I knew. But if he suddenly decided to reappear I don't think it's just to say hello. :'''Ulrich:''' He's gonna need an escort to protect him from X.A.N.A.'s monsters. <hr width50%> :'''Ulrich:''' Yeah. You might be able to see your father again. :'''Odd:''' And Ulrich can ask him how to get better grades in computer class. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Shield! :'''Aelita:''' Energy Field! :'''Odd:''' How's that for teamwork? <hr width50%> :'''Jeremy:''' Good work, you two. Uh oh! I don't like that. Holoweb system online! Oh no! Be careful! X.A.N.A.'s drawing energy from all the replicas to strengthen the Kolossus! Ulrich, you gotta find a way to slow up the process. <hr width80%> :'''Ulrich:''' I've just about reached his head! I'm gonna try something! Super Sprint! <hr width50%> :'''Aelita:''' How is the data transfer doing? :'''Jeremy:''' Nearly there. But you have to protect Hopper from the Kolossus. :'''Odd:''' Thanks a lot. Did you happen to notice the size of that guy? :'''Jeremy:''' I know Odd, but I absolutely gotta get that data 'cause- Oh no. Yes! No, it can't be possible. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, my father's heading or the digital sea. He...he disappeared. :'''Jeremy:''' I know. But he sent me the data I needed to complete my...my anti-X.A.N.A. program. :'''Odd:''' Say that again? :'''Jeremy:''' You heard right. Thanks to this program I can destroy X.A.N.A." :'''Ulrich:''' Well better hurry up and run the thing 'casue the Kolossus seems to be getting its strength back." :'''Jeremy:''' For it to work, you all gotta be in Sector Five. I can't do it alone. :'''Odd:''' There's no way with the Kolossus on broad! As soon as he shows up he'll be playing ping pom with the transporter. :'''Jeremy:''' Ulrich's on it. :'''Odd:''' He's on it alright! Let's hope he doesn't fall off it! <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' We're in the Celestial Dome. :'''Jeremy:''' Perfect! I'm sending you the anti-X.A.N.A. program. :'''Odd:''' Uh oh. Looks like we're in for a flying fish show. :'''Jeremy:''' You there, Aelita? :'''Aelita:''' Yes. :'''Jeremy:''' Run the program right now! :'''Odd:''' Well, is it working? :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, what's going on? :'''Jeremy:''' Oh no! We haven't got enough power to run the program, and we're only a step away from beating X.A.N.A.! <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "Daddy, no!! Energy Field!!" :'''Jeremy:''' "What is he trying to do? The power! Aelita trying running the program right now!" :'''Aelita:''' "What!? But my father!" :'''Jeremy:''' "Your father is supplying the energy that we need. Try to run the program again! Now! :'''Aelita:''' ''No!! No!'' :(''Hurls another energy field at the Mantas, but again misses, and the Mantas continue firing at her father'') :'''Jeremy:''' Aelita, if you don't launch the program now, than your father will have sacrificed himself for nothing. Do it! ''Do it!'' :'''Aelita:''' ''No!'' :('' Furiously punches her hand on the interface, activating Jeremy's multi-agent system program at full power'') :''Jeremy:''' Gone. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Huh? The program is destroying all the replicas. X.A.N.A. is dying! <hr width80%> :(''After X.A.N.A.'s whole data has been thoroughly wiped from both Lyoko and the internet'') :'''Jeremy:''' It can't be. But...it is. <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Aelita, we've done it. X.A.N.A.'s been destroyed. I'll bring you home now. ===Echoes=== *This is the epilogue of the 2D animated series, though followed by the cancelled, live-action sequel series, ''[[w:Code Lyoko: Evolution|Code Lyoko: Evolution]].'' *As this does not take place on Lyoko, Yumi's telekinesis and Tessen fans, Odd's laser arrows, Ulrich's sabers, and Aelita's energy fields and flying capabilities, are all seen in flashbacks *Yumi and Ulrich's first kiss in the Desert Region of Lyoko, in "Routine," is referenced <hr width80%> :'''Jeremy:''' Well, it'll all be over this time. Do any of you wanna say something? :'''Yumi:''' We've had our ups and downs, hours of detention, hours of glory-the five of us. I've gotten used to life with Lyoko. Now it's time for new life without it. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' Without Lyoko life's gonna be awfully boring, don't you think? :'''Ulrich:''' Boring? Finally having time for music and sports is not exactly what I'd call boring. <hr width80%> :'''Odd:''' What about you? Why didn't you want to shut the supercomputer down? And don't give me Jim's "I'd rather not talk about it" routine. :(''After flashing back to his fond memories as a dutiful Lyoko Warrior'') :'''Ulrich:''' I like being a hero. <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' Jeremy, I wanted to talk to you about the supercomputer. I- :'''Jeremy:''' No need to explain, Aelita. I know exactly why you voted the way you did. :'''Aelita:''' If we shut down the machine, it means saying goodbye to my past, and to my father. <hr width80%> :'''Young Aelita:''' "Daddy! I'm going up to my room." :'''Past Franz:''' "See you in a minute, Honey." :'''Young Aelita:''' "See you in a minute, Daddy." <hr width80%> :'''Aelita:''' "All of this is so terrible and great at the same time, but...but..." :'''Jeremy:''' But now it's time to move on to something new? :'''Aelita:''' Yes. Something more carefree. :'''Jeremy:''' I'm starting to think that way, too, Aelita. You know, when you think that after all we did and no one is ever gonna know anything about it. :'''Sissi:''' "I know everything!!" :'''Jeremy:''' "Huh? :'''Sissi:''' Wait until I tell my father!!" <hr width80%> :'''Sissi:''' You shouldn't scold them, you should lock all of them up!! Their lunatics! They put the whole world in danger!! :'''Jeremy:''' You can't go in now- We just...! :'''Sissi:''' Ah ha! Jeremy, who's the smart one now that I'm to your little secret? Don't feel like making fun of me now, do you, Odd!!? :'''Mr. Delmas:''' Elizabeth, that is enough! :'''Sissi''' (''speaking really fast'')''':''' Listen to me! I'm serious! For years they've been fighting a dangerous [[w:artificial intelligence|computer program]] in a virtual world!! They put their own lives in danger and ours, too! Barbecue of them, the school was invaded by killer drones, killer bugs, and even a deadly giant teddy bear! Even you, my sweet little Daddy was possessed by the program!! You thought against Ulrich on the bridge to the old factory! Luckily I was there and I was able to knock you out, but other times I could've been killed!! I was violently attacked by electric cables, almost drowned in the elevator, then a crazy teacher possessed my body so he could have a long conversation with them!! ''Don't you understand what I'm trying to say!!'' Let me go! Yo got to go to the factory!!" :'''Mr. Delmas:''' Yes, yes, darling, later.

What are you doing? :'''Robbie''': Watching the baby. :'''Earl''': Nice to see you you're accepting more responsibility. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Earl''' ''[to the Elders]'': Please don't make me bite off my own head. I was practicing in the lobby, and it just wasn't happening. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Elder''' ''[reading from the ''Sacred Book of Dinosaur'']'': ...and his father [Earl] shall be courageous and wise. :''[Earl chuckles]'' :'''Elder''' ''[to another Elder]'': Give me the [[w:Wite-Out|Wite-Out]]. :''[Elder edits the sacred book]'' :'''Elder''' ''[reading from the (revised) ''Sacred Book of Dinosaur'']'': ...father shall be a blithering idiot. :'''Earl''': Can he do that? <hr width="50%" /> :''[Robbie is refusing to help manage the people coming to see the new king (Baby)]'' :'''Robbie''': Those dinosaurs out there are just sheep. :'''Earl''': Have you noticed that some of those sheep are cheerleaders? :''[Robbie runs outside to help.]'' ===Family Challenge=== :'''Howard Handupme''': A meteor watch has been put into effect throughout the [[w:Pangaea|Pangean]] panhandle. Scientists have specifically pinpointed this particular house as the point of probable impact. :''[A picture of the Sinclair house appears on the tv screen]'' :'''Earl''': Come on, come on! What does this have to do with me? <hr width="50%" /> :''[Earl is talking to the insurance agent about the cost of replacing the tv]'' :'''Earl''': Don't try to cheat me on this! 'Cause I know you insurance guys, you have absolutely no ethics. :'''Insurance Agent''': Well, how much would you say your television is worth? :'''Earl''': Ten thousand dollars. Good thing I popped for that extra meteor coverage, huh? :'''Insurance Agent''': For us, yes. But if you refer to that large bound volume we sent you labeled "exclusions", you'll find that a [[w:meteor|meteor]] is only a meteor until it enters the Earth's atmosphere, at which time it become a [[w:Meteorite|meteor''ite'']]. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Earl''': As you can see, I have separated all known dinosaur wisdom into three categories: "Animal, vegetable, rocks." :'''Robbie''': Well, what about fire? :'''Earl''': Vegetable. :'''Charlene''': What about water? :'''Earl''': Water is the opposite of fire, which we have previously established as a vegetable. What's the opposite of a vegetable? Fruit. So water is a fruit. Fruit is not a vegetable, so it has to be either an animal or a rock. We know it's not an animal. Therefore, fruit is a rock. :'''Charlene''': Daddy, I asked you about water. :'''Earl''': Could we hold all questions until the end of the lecture, please? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Baby''' ''[pointing the remote at Earl]'': Not the TV! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Charlene''': I'm used to being embarrassed by you guys on a local level, I don't know how I feel about being humiliated nationally. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Earl''': And what makes ''you'' the Ancient History expert? :'''Ethyl''': I was there. ===I Never Ate for My Father=== :'''Ethyl''': Television is responsible for the utter degradation of our society.

But I wanted better. ===Charlene's Tale=== :'''Earl''': It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. :'''Ethyl''': Then you're the guy for the job. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Earl''' ''[to Fran]'': It's not [Charlene's] tail. Cause that would be a female problem, and she isn't a female yet, so she doesn't have a problem. Which if she did, we wouldn't discuss it in front of the son! :'''Robbie''': Fine, I'll leave. :'''Earl''': I'll go with you. <hr width="50%" /> :''[Earl punches Roy]'' :'''Roy''': Hey! Earl, I don't want to pry into your personal business, but is something bothering you? :'''Earl''': Not that I'm aware of. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Charlene''': Mom, you said you were the last one in your class to get your tail. How did you handle it? :'''Fran''': Oh, well... that was a long time ago, and I'm sure I handled it with grace and dignity. :'''Ethyl''': She tried to throw herself off the roof. :'''Fran''': Mother! :'''Ethyl''': Of course, you weighed 2800 pounds, so the roof collapsed. She fell right through onto Grandpa Louie, who was cleaning his pipe at the time. We never found the pipe, but Grandpa Louie walked funny after that... <hr width="50%" /> :''[Earl is putting the uneaten food back into the refrigerator]'' :'''Food''': And don't be putting me in no vegetable bin. I wake up in the vegetable bin, I'll come out and kick you big flabby dinosaur butt all up and down the super-continent! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Earl''' ''[to Charlene]'': I don't think nature knows what it's doing. What I think you need is something to protect you from nature. :'''Charlene''': You mean, like a father? :'''Earl''': Well, actually, I was thinking more like a machine gun. But I guess a father would do in a pinch. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Earl''': How'd I do, Fran? :'''Fran''': Well, "not the mama", but you'll do in a pinch. ===Endangered Species=== :''[Robbie is writing an essay; the Grapdelites pop out of their box]'' :'''Grapdelite 1''': Shouldn't you be hiding us? :'''Grapdelite 2''': Can't you see he's thinking? :'''Grapdelite 1''': I'm merely reminding him of his responsibility to his father. Now, be quiet! :'''Robbie''': Hey, I'm trying to write a paper here! Okay? :'''Grapdelite 2''': We've offended him! :'''Grapdelite 1''': What's your paper about? :'''Grapdelite 2''': Oh, it's none of our business! :'''Robbie''': It's a social studies paper, and it's not going very well. ''[shows the Grapdelites his paper]'' :'''Grapdelite 1''': "Why dinosaurs rule the Earth? We're big." :'''Robbie''': Yeah, that really bites, doesn't it? :'''Grapdelite 2''': Well, there's certainly no denying that size allows the dinosaur to have almost unlimited benefits. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Of course, the duality of nature dictates that for every benefit, there must be a cost. :'''Grapdelites''': ''[together]'' Don't you agree? :'''Robbie''': Oh, well, I, uh... :'''Grapdelite 1''': We've lost him. :'''Grapdelite 2''': So try an illustration. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Of course. ''[to Robbie]'' Why is it good to be big? :'''Robbie''': Well, we get to eat whoever we want. Uh, no offense. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Oh, none taken. :'''Grapdelite 2''': However, if we don't plan for the future, there won't be anymore food. That would be the cost. :'''Robbie''': What do you mean "no more food"? There's always more, that's what "more" means. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Oh, dear... ''[pulls out a bunch of grapes from the box]'' :'''Grapdelite 2''': Imagine that these are all the grapes in the world. :'''Robbie''': Um, yeah, so? :'''Grapdelite 1''': Now, suppose that you eat all the grapes. :'''Robbie''': Hm, okay. ''[eats the grapes in one gulp]'' Okay, now what? :'''Grapdelite 2''': Now, suppose you want grapes tomorrow. :'''Robbie''': Well, I'll go the market and get some. :'''Grapdelite 2''': But those were all the grapes in the world. :'''Robbie''': Well, then I'll have to eat something else. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Oh, well, you rule the world. :'''Grapdelite 2''': A world without grapes. :'''Robbie''': So you're saying that if we eat them all, there won't be anymore. :'''Grapdelite 1''': I think he understands... :'''Robbie''': Ha! I can stretch that to 500 words easy! :'''Grapdelite 1''': Or maybe he doesn't.. :'''Robbie''': You guys can help me with my homework everyday, or at least until Mom and Dad's anniversary. <hr width=50%> :''[B.P. Richfield overhears Earl having Grapdelites for his 20th anniversary and orders him to come to his office]'' :'''Earl''': You wanted to see me, my captain? :'''B.P. Richfield''': I hear you got your 20th anniversary coming up, Sinclair! :'''Earl''': How suspiciously cordial of you to take an interest, sir. :'''B.P. Richfield''': And the wife's probably lookin' forward to that Grapdelite dinner, right? :'''Earl''': I'm sure she is, sure. :'''B.P. Richfield''': Yeah, a little wine, candlelight, and those Grapdelites gonna taste so sweet and satisfyin'! Mmm-mmm! You and the wife will probably look each other in the eye and tell each other how very much in love you still are, and who knows? Maybe you'll take a little trip upstairs and...

You don't give'em to me, I'm gonna bite off your head! :'''Earl''': B-b-b-but I can't give them to your, sir. They're for my wife. If she didn't get them, she'd be very unhappy. :'''B.P. Richfield''': How much is your wife's happiness worth to you, Sinclair? :'''Earl''': Well, I see what you're getting at there, sir... uh, Mr. Richfield, but no amount of money is worth taking this away from my wife. My wife's happiness means the world to me. :'''B.P. Richfield''': Here's $50. :'''Earl''': It's a small world after all. But with all due respect, you know, there is the matter of my own personal dignity, sir. You only get one 20th anniversary, and if I sell you by Grapdelites, how much is my personal dignity worth? :'''B.P. Richfield''': I got another $23 for your personal dignity. :'''Earl''': That should cover it. ''[takes the money]'' And what about my self-respect? :'''B.P. Richfield''': I think we've taken care of that. <hr width=50%> :''[Robbie comes back from school in a bad mood]'' :'''Robbie''': ''[to the Grapdelites]'' Thanks for everything. I got an F.

I didn't see you. :'''Grapdelite 1''': He seems distressed. :'''Grapdelite 2''': I hope it's nothing we've done. :'''Robbie''': "Why dinosaurs ruled the Earth?" And I wrote a whole essay about what you guys said about how we're too wise to eat all the grapes. Look what the teacher wrote. ''[shows the Grapdelites his paper]'' :'''Grapdelite 1''': "There'll always be more grapes. That's what 'more' means." :'''Grapdelites''': An F?! :'''Grapdelite 2''': But just because the teacher doesn't understand doesn't mean you failed. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Oh, no! :'''Robbie''': Stanly Kravitz got an A. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Well, what did he write? :'''Robbie''': He wrote, "Because we're big." That was my answer! I had the right answer, and I let you guys talk me out of it! Why did I let you talk me out of it? :'''Grapdelite 2''': Because it's wrong. :'''Robbie''': Yeah, but the teacher thinks it's right. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Well, what if the teacher's wrong? :'''Robbie''': Yeah, right. "What if the teacher's wrong?" I tried that on my parents all the time and it never works. Anyway, the teacher said there would be enough grapes and there would always be enough of everything, then she called me a radical! :'''Grapdelite 1''': But there's not gonna be always enough of everything? :'''Robbie''': Ah, leave me alone. I already flunked once, and that's what I get for letting food do my homework. :''[the Grapdelites gasp]'' :'''Grapdelite 1''': Robbie, we're the last two grapes! :'''Robbie''': What?! :'''Grapdelite 2''': That's why they can't find anymore of us, they're aren't any. :'''Grapdelite 1''': We're the last of our kind. :'''Robbie''': How can that be? :'''Grapdelite 2''': Because we're delicious.

What a blow to your teacher. :'''Robbie''': You guys should try to escape or something. :'''Grapdelite 1''': No, no, we need to help you with your paper. :'''Grapdelite 2''': It's very important. :'''Grapdelite 1''': Yes, very. :'''Robbie''': But this is your last night on Earth.

So, should I tell her to go away? :'''B.P. Richfield''': It's too late now. We're an equal opportunity employer. We got strict guidelines about this sort of thing. We can't just send her away. ''[looks into manual]'' Let's see. Ah, here it is.

M-m-my, that's a lovely necklace! :'''Monica''': Excuse me, but what does my necklace have to do with getting this job? :'''B.P. Richfield''': It's just that you're such a dainty little thing, and tree-pushin' requires such strength, and a large degree of technical knowledge. :'''Monica''': I'm sure it's way over my head, but hypothetically, will I be knocking down trees like those outside? :'''B.P.

Don't they know that kids are watching? :'''Fran''': Mother, this is an important real-life event. This will make the kids think. :'''Ethyl''': I don't want the kids to think. I want the kids to watch safe little situation comedies, with time-tested repetitive storylines. <hr width=50%> :'''Mr. John Wolfe''': You're obviously a very attractive female. Would you please describe for us what your were wearing in the time of the incident? Was it seductive or revealing? :'''Monica''': It was a hardhat and a work shirt, and I don't appreciate the insinuation that I somehow asked for this type of behavior. :'''Mr. John Wolfe''': I'm insinuating no such thing. Now, could you please describe for us in detail what kind of underwear you have on at the moment? :'''Monica''': I don't understand how that's relevant. :'''Mr. John Wolfe''': Well, ma'am, if you understood the relevancy of it, you'd be a male! :''[the chairmen crack up laughing]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Mr. Mason Dixon''': Look, sweet cheeks, ain't this whole thing a part of some twisted sexual fantasy of yours?

Richfield''': Thank you for your candor, Mr. Sinclair. :'''Earl''': Oh, and another thing: I don't see why she ever needed a job. A female's place is in the home, taking orders from her husband. In the Sinclair household, when I say jump, my wife says how high. ''[realizes Fran is standing behind him]'' Hi! <hr width=50%> :'''Fran''': I watched on TV what you said about Monica, and it's not the Monica I know. She's an honest, responsible individual who would never mislead anybody. :'''Mr. Otto Lynch''': And we'd like to believe your testimony, Mrs. Sinclair. However, I have evidence that when you were just a young girl, you lived with this older man!

Why, this sudden cold snap is a godsend. Dinosaurs are flocking to stores, buying WESAYSO heaters, WESAYSO blankets, and WESAYSO old-fashioned hot cocoa mix.

That's the name on the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. Oz is retro. Oz is retribution. You wanna punish a man? Separate him from his family, separate him from himself, cage him up with his own kind. Oz is hard times doing hard time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': See, in Em City, retribution gives way to redemption. Timmy boy believes he can save every one of us, from each other, from ourselves, from the system that dumped us in here. Only thing he don't get is, you gotta want to be saved. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diane Wittlesey''': There's something in the air. And it ain't love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joey D'Angelo''': ''[about Groves]'' He ate his mother. :'''Nino Schibetta''': Get the fuck out of here! :'''Joey D'Angelo''': So I heard. He killed her, then he broiled her head. Smothered it in onions. :'''Dino Ortolani''': What, no garlic? :'''Joey D'Angelo''': He had his father in the freezer. :'''Nino Schibetta''': Sick fuck! What the fuck's wrong with this country? In the old days, murder was murder. You killed someone, it was business. You sure as Christ didn't eat them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kareem Said''': I would give my life for you. :'''Jefferson Keane''': You gonna have to. === ''Visits, Conjugal, and Otherwise'' [1.2] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Fuck is a four letter word. Rape is a four letter word. Wife is a four letter word. So is love. Fuck is a curse. So is love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': Come over here and ask me if you can fuck your wife. Come on, ask me! Now! :'''Tobias Beecher''': Can I be with my wife? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Fuck my wife. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Fuck my wife. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Louder, and say "please" and "sir". :'''Tobias Beecher''': Please, sir, may I fuck my wife? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Louder. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Please, sir, may I fuck my wife! :'''Vern Schillinger''': When you ask me like that, I can't deny you anything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lenny Burrano''': Donald Groves. You killed your parents and ate them, right? :'''Donald Groves''': I only ate my mom. I was saving my dad for Thanksgiving. :'''Lenny Burrano''': That's festive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bob Rebadow''': God comes to visit me every once in a while. Actually, he comes more often than I'd like but it's God. What can I say? That I'm busy, that I'm in the shower? He knows. :'''Lenny Burrano''': We talking about a burning bush here? :'''Bob Rebadow''': No, it's more like a strobe. A little too flashy, a little cheesy for my taste. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': And love? Well, if sex is sweet and death is bitter, love is both. Love will always and forever break your heart. === ''God's Chillin' '' [1.3] === :'''Augustus Hill''': In the beginning, God was nothingness. So he started making stuff. He made the dirt, he made the sky, he made the water, he made things that swim, things that slither, things with legs. I mean, God turned himself into a big shot. Then, in a couple of days, or a couple of million years, he breathed life into man. And he's been sucking the life out of us ever since. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hilll''': There's some pain that you don't share. Some pain like your fingerprints that's all yours. All alone. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobias Beecher''': If God is in me, he's a tumor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Donald Groves''': Wait, Father, maybe I'm a convert. :'''Ray Mukada''': You can't become a Catholic just to get out of the hole. Come on. :'''Donald Groves''': No, no, wait. I've been reading a lot since I got here about different faiths and yours is pretty nifty. :'''Ray Mukada''': Catholicism is nifty? :'''Donald Groves''': You have that whole mystical transabstentiation bit going. :'''Ray Mukada''': That's right. The Eucharist becomes the body of Christ. :'''Donald Groves''': So you're actually eating his flesh and drinking his blood. :'''Ray Mukada''': That's right. :'''Donald Groves''': Now how can I not get behind a religion like that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tim McManus''': You are creating a lot of the tension that we're dealing with right here. :'''James Devlin''': How am I doing that? :'''Tim McManus''': Well, you ban smoking, you ban conjugals. Bit by bit you're stripping these men of their basic human needs. :'''James Devlin''': This is a ''prison''. These men are ''criminals''. The whole point is to strip them of their basic human needs. If a kneejerk prissy liberal would see that we wouldn't be having the problems we're having today. :'''Tim McManus''': The campaign is over, Governor, so get off your soapbox. :'''James Devlin''': McManus, when you look at me, what do you see? :'''Tim McManus''': A man. :'''James Devlin''': You've heard of Olympus, right? Mount Olympus, ancient Greece, where the gods lived? :'''Tim McManus''': Yeah. :'''James Devlin''': Well, it was a hierarchy, even among the gods. Mercury was lesser than Apollo, Apollo lesser than Zeus. Now, you run your cellblock and you think you're a god. Glynn runs the whole prison, he thinks he's a greater god. Well, guys, I am Zeus. I am omnipotent. I must be obeyed...or my thunderbolts will strike. === ''Capital P'' [1.4] === :'''Donald Groves''': They say that lethal injection causes no pain. How do they know? Did someone come back from the dead and say they didn't feel anything? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miguel Alvarez''': Hey, Father. Where was God when my son died? :'''Ray Mukada''': Same place he was when His own son died. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diane Wittlesy''': My ex was a big hunter, he was always going off with his buddies so I said to him one time to take me. After some complaining, he did. So I got there in the forest with this big hunky shotgun and I fired at a deer. Hit it dead on. So I went over to this thing and I leaned down and this deer looked up at me with these eyes, these eyes like flashlights. I knelt beside it and I held it's head and I whispered, "I'm sorry." And like batteries going bad the light in its eyes flickered a little bit and went out. For the next two years we were married, every time I walked into the den I had to look at this fucking deer's dead eyes. I had to dust them. When we got divorced that's all I asked for, the deer's head. Then I buried it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ray Mukada''': If you love women so much, why do you kill them? :'''Richard L'italien''': Because when you love someone, they own you, they possess you. I will not be possessed. :'''Ray Mukada''': I'm here to give you absolution for your sins. Do you wish to be absolved? :'''Richard L'italien''': Fuck, yes! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': There's this brother on death row somewheres, he checked in when he was 16. He sat there another 16 years while the courts and lawyers argued about this and that. While he waited he painted a mural on his wall. For all those years he painted, not letting a soul see what he was up to. Finally, when he was 32 and had spent more life on death row than in his mama's house, all his appeals were exhausted. He was about to die. As he was about to be let out for the final time, he finally unveiled his masterpiece. All there was were six words. "Death is certain, life is not". The next day the hacks painted over it. Peace out. === ''Straight Life'' [1.5] === :'''Nino Schibetta''': I always thought Keane and Markstrom were holding you back. From the get-go, you were a guy that sees how the world gets made. Adebisi. Ends in "I". Sure you're not Italian? :'''Simon Adebisi''': Schibetta ends in "A". Maybe you African. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scott Ross''': ''[to Schillinger]'' I'm gonna give you ten minutes to get your hands off my dick. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bob Rebadow''': I do know sometimes I can see inside men's souls. :'''Kareem Said''': And can you see into mine, old man? :'''Bob Rebadow''': Yes. :'''Kareem Said''': And what is there? :'''Bob Rebadow''': Anger. :'''Kareem Said''': Yes, I am angry. I am angry at a society that cripples my people and infects their bodies. :'''Bob Rebadow''': No, you're angry at God. :'''Kareem Said''': I am not. My illness is Allah's will and I accept the bad as well as the good that God gives me. :'''Bob Rebadow''': Still, you're angry at him and afraid. Afraid of dying. :'''Kareem Said''': That is not true. :'''Bob Rebadow''': You watched Jefferson Keane die, die gladly. Keane embraced death like a lover, like a traveler going home. You saw that and you were afraid. You realized you aren't as willing to go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': ''[upon seeing Beecher dressed in drag]'' My God! You're even prettier than I thought you'd be! === ''To Your Health'' [1.6] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Do we care for people when they're sick because we actually care about them? Or do we care for them because when our time comes, we want someone to care for us? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': 'At least you got your health.' Don't you hate that? You lose your job, you lose your wife, YOU'RE IN PRISON, and some punk ass do gooder says 'At least you got your health' like that's supposed to make you FEEL better! So what if I'm broke? So what if some dealer wants to cap my ass; at least I ain't got a tumor. I swear, the next person to say ALYGYH to me, I'ma make sure they don't have THEIR health much longer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Simon Adebisi''': You are a sick motherfucker, O'Reily. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Coming from you, that's a compliment. <hr width="50%"/> :<b>Augustus Hill</b>: All those little aches and pains eventually, they add up to something. Body - body, mind, they gotta work together or they don't work at all. You gotta take care of your body. You gotta take care of your mind. You gotta LOVE your body. Most people don't. Most people HATE their bodies. You gotta get your MIND to love your body. Even if you're fat around the middle, or even if things don't work like they're supposed to - you've gotta LOVE your body. 'Cause it's all you've got to hold on to. It's all you've got. I'll make a deal with you: I'll love your body, if you love mine. === ''Plan B'' [1.7] === :'''Kareem Said''': ''[about Huseni Mershah]'' This man is not our brother. He is our enemy. As of this moment, this man is cast out. No Muslim will speak to him, look him in the eye or acknowledge him. ''[to Mershah]'' You wanted the death of another? Right now, you're dead to us all. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Donald Groves''': ''[trying to repeat an Islamic greeting]'' A-salami-I-like-'em. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loretta Smith''': I'm Loretta Smith. You killed my son. You're a handsome fellow. :'''Donald Groves''': Thanks. :'''Loretta Smith''': You broke God's law: Love thy neighbour. I wanna hate you but I can't. I feel pity, tears, but no hate. I didn't realize that until this moment. You are my neighbour and I love you. And I forgive you with all my heart. That's all. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eddie Hunt''': To Lawrence Smith. A fine man who died too young. :'''Diane Wittlesey''': Yeah. Amen. :'''Eddie Hunt''': Here's to Donald Groves, a freak of nature who lived too long. :'''Diane Wittlesey''': Yeah, probably. :'''Eddie Hunt''': I killed a man who killed a man. I killed a man. Only maybe I didn't kill him, because they put blanks in one of the rifles so maybe-- I mean, I can never know for sure if I killed him or not. Only not knowing is maybe worse than knowing. Because at least if I knew-- :'''Diane Wittlesey''': Eddie. Go home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobias Beecher''': ''[while defecating on Schillinger]'' Sieg heil, baby! Sieg fucking heil! === ''A Game of Checkers'' [1.8] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Remember when your High School History teacher said "The course of human events changes because of the deeds of great men"?. Well the bitch was lying. Fuck [[Julius Caesar|Caesar]], fuck [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]], fuck [[Mahatma Gandhi]]. The world keeps turning because of me and you: the anonymous. Revolutions start because people don't have enough bread. Wars start over a game of Checkers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': I had a visit from my sons. They're almost, out of their teens now, almost men. Live with their grandfather, the man who taught me everything I know about hate. Yesterday, my boys sat there across from me, ranting and raging. They were both fucked up on drugs. They know I hate drugs. But I'm in here because I hate drugs and 'cause I love them. I yelled at them and they they just laughed. They laughed at me. It's funny, you know, with one eye, I can see finally that they are becoming the men I made them. I got about three months, 'til I'm up for parole.. All I want is to get our of here be there for them. Try to help my kids, that's all. :'''Tim McManus''': If I put you back into Em City, you'll kill Beecher. :'''Vern Schillinger''': If I wanted him dead, he'd already be dead. :'''Tim McManus''': You say you've changed. Why should I believe you? :'''Vern Schillinger''': ''(smiles)'' Trust me, McManus. You lose an eye, you get kicked in the balls, you get a face full of shit, you become a different man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': I don't wanna fight. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Oh, no. Course not. You get into a fight, you fuck up your parole. And I hear for the next three months, you're gonna be a good little boy, so you can get outta Oz, see your two sons. You know, I think that's great. But, you know what I'm wondering? What if Vern doesn't get out? What if, as he comes up for parole, he gets into a brawl, a knock-down, drag-out with his old roomie? What if every time he comes up for parole, Vern gets into some ugly incident and has to serve his entire sentence? And his two sons, they become monsters. That's what I'm wondering about. ''Prag''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kareem Said''': I'm gonna try one more time with you, McManus. Now, I am not saying that the men in Oz are innocent. I am saying they are not here because of the crimes that they committed, but because of the color of their skin, the lack of education, the fact that they are poor. You see, this riot is not about getting smoking back, conjugal rights, it's not even about life in prison. It's about society taking responsibility. It's about the whole horrid judicial system. And we don't need more prisons, bigger prisons, better prisons. We need better justice. Now what can you do about that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': Yeah, who cares who lives or dies in prison? We read their names in the morning paper and they mean nothing to us! They're faceless! Truth is we don't want to put a face on them! We don't want to know who they really are because then it might hit too close to home. And home is what it's all about, right? Making a home no matter where you are, no matter who you are. At the end of the day, all of us need somewhere to rest. Somewhere to lay our bones. Even if it's in a land called Oz. Yeah, like Dorothy says when she wakes up in her own bed back at Aunt Em's: "There's no place like home. There's no fucking place like home." == Season Two == === ''The Tip'' [2.1] === :'''Alvah Case''': Ryan O'Reily. Vehicular manslaughter, reckless endangerment, possession of controlled substances, possession of a deadly weapon, violation of parole. That's an amazing list of crimes. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Well, you know, I applied myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alvah Case''': You can't have it both ways, governor! If the prisoners are guilty, so are you. :'''James Devlin''': This is ''not'' the attitude I expect from my next Attorney-General. :'''Alvah Case''': You know something. I don't want to ''be'' Attorney-General. I want to be '''GOVERNOR'''! :'''James Devlin''': What? :'''Alvah Case''': I'll see you on the campaign trail, Devlin. === ''Ancient Tribes'' [2.2] === :'''Gloria Nathan''': You may have breast cancer. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': ''(laughs)'' That's funny. :'''Gloria Nathan''': I'm not kidding. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Breast cancer? Girls get breast cancer. :'''Gloria Nathan''': Men do too. It's rare, especially at your age, but it does happen. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': I'm not a fag, you know. I've been in this shithole for over a year, and I ain't ever taken it up the ass! :'''Gloria Nathan''': No one is saying that you have! :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Bullshit! You're telling me I've got a '''''chick's disease'''''! :'''Gloria Nathan''': Men have breasts, the same as women. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': What the fuck you talking about?

No one's ever given a shit about me my whole life, so I'm not very good at saying thanks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''O'Reily''': Would you fucking relax? :'''Shannen''': Don't get pissy with me! I'm the one who's thinking of you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Schillinger''': We can rule Oz! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hill''': Evil is the only thing that has survived intact these past thousand years. === ''Losing Your Appeal'' [2.4] === :'''Kareem Said''': Quickest way to find the needle: burn the haystack. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Judge Grace Lema''': I've been a judge for 16 years. I've made over 2500 decisions. Most of them were good. But only one has haunted me. Yours. You see, I've always prided myself on being fair. That in my court, justice was truly blind. But in your case, that little girl, her parents crying, you being a member of the bar, your prior arrest for DUl, the senselessness of it all, it caught up with me. I was quick-tempered and spiteful to the point where I can't tell if I gave you a fair trial. Now seeing you like this, I-- I think maybe the punishment exceeded the crime. And I'm...well... :'''Tobias Beecher''': You're what? Sorry? Your Honour, you used all your power to crush me. But the truth is, I did kill Cathy Rockwell. And as much as I tried to manipulate the legal system to get off, to get out of it, I took her life. According to the law, each crime is worth a certain number of years. You gave me a maximum of 15 years in this fuckhole! Is that too much? Too harsh? Not enough? I don't know. You say you're haunted by what you did? Well, so am I. And if you came here for me to forgive you you've come to the wrong man. He ceased to exist the day Cathy Rockwell did. And you're not gonna get any more peace out of him than I do out of her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': What makes us wanna fuck somebody? ls it the colour of their eyes, the shape of their legs, the spike of their heels? Or is it what the poets tell us? That there's something deeper, a shared loss. A longing to find someone who knows the depth of our sadness. Some people search their whole lives for that someone. Some find them, some don't. Some fool themselves into believing they're in love. And in Oz, most times, the illusion is better than reality. === ''Family Bizness'' [2.5] === :'''Hill''': Families! Our families determine who we are, determine what we're not. How we relate to other people is based on the way we relate to the members of our families. No wonder the world's so fucked up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adebisi''': Little Nino, when you say things like that, it hurts. I just wanna be friends. :'''Peter Schibetta''': Friends, huh? Okay, pal-o-mine, how's about you go into the kitchen and get me a chocolate bar? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hill''': Because we share the same blood with our family, we can ask them to do anything. Anything! Lie, cheat, take a bullet. Only, don't ask to borrow their new Lexus. 'Cause then my man, you're crossing the line ! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hill''': Every once in a while, I remember something I did when I was a child. Or something that was done to me, by my father, or my brother, or a cousin. Some injury. Some humiliation. And it seems like... it happened to another person, a century or two ago. I'm not really sure if what I remember really took place at all. You can't build your life, relying on the perception of a little boy, or the echos of some memory. Nah. You got to let all that shit go. You gotta start, fresh. Every single day. You have got to start again. === ''Strange Bedfellows'' [2.6] === :'''Peter Schibetta''': You tell them I'm gonna handle Adebisi. I'm gonna get my honour back. By the end of today, either that fucking moolie or me is gonna be in a body bag. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miguel Alvarez''': El Cid, it's an honor, man. :'''Raoul "El Cid" Hernandez''': Tu es Latino? :'''Miguel Alvarez''': Si. :'''Raoul "El Cid" Hernandez''': They lied to you, man. You're too fucking white to be Latino. Get the fuck out of my face. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gloria Nathan''': I became a doctor to help people. Now, I know that that sounds like a cliche, it sounds naive, but it's true. I could have a fancy practice anywhere, but instead I chose to work at Oz. I saved your life, O'Reily. And in return, you destroyed mine. === ''Animal Farm'' [2.7] === :'''Hill''': Hey Schillinger. :'''Vern Schillinger''': What do you want? :'''Hill''': How much would it cost to mail me out of here? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Mail you? What are you talking about? :'''Hill''': I've been trying to think of ways to get out of here. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Escape from Oz? :'''Hill''': Yeah. And I figured, you know, you could box me up in a crate and mail me to my wife overnight express, Priority Mail, whatever. How much would that cost? Postage, shipping, handling, et cetera? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Are you serious? :'''Hill''': Yeah. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Then you're nuts. :'''Hill''': Is that a no? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Yeah. No. No, yeah, it's a no. Get the fuck out of here before I tip you over. :'''Hill''': All right, Vern, I ain't mad at you. You can't help it if you're ugly and stupid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Busmalis''': Relax. You're suffering from PBS. :'''Rebadow''': PBS? :'''Busmalis''': Pre-Bunny Syndrome. It happens quite often in my line of work. You dig and dig and dig, and just before you have to make like a little bunny and go through the hole, you panic. :'''Rebadow''': This is real? Pre-Bunny Syndrome? :'''Busmalis''': Oh, yeah. I mean, I made the name up, but sure. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alvarez''': They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. :'''Officer Rivera''': The fuck you talking about? :'''Alvarez''': Nice to see you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Said''': Beecher, don't do this. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Do what? :'''Said''': Drink. :'''Tobias Beecher''': You like to dabble in peoples' lives, huh? Because you're so much better than us, because you've seen the light. You've seen the face of God. So you wave your dick around trying to help us lowly mortals. Hill, Mershah, Groves, Jefferson Keane. Fuck, you helped Jefferson Keane right into a lethal injection. So in the end, when all is said and done, who have you really fucking helped? Other than yourself? :'''Said''': ''[proudly]'' Poet. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Poet? I just saw on the news, he killed a man. He's coming back to Oz. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adebisi''': Sometimes it's good to be human. === ''Escape From Oz'' [2.8] === :'''Bob Rebadow''': In all my years at Oz, I've learned one rule: accept the hand you're dealt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan Coushaine''': I say we institute a "no swearing" rule. :'''El Cid''': Fuck you. :'''Augustus Hill''': Suck my dick. :'''Kenny Wangler''': Asswipe. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Cocksucker. :'''Chucky Pancamo''': You stupid cunt. :'''Jaz Hoyt''': Putz. :'''McManus''': If nobody has anything more intelligent to say, this meeting is adjourned. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reporter''': Mr. Said, how do you feel? :'''Kareem Said''': How do I feel? I feel joyless. My brothers remain behind. Imprisoned, suppressed. I don't just mean my Muslim brothers, I mean every single man that will sleep in here tonight, that was cut off from everything that he loves. Cut off from his own self. You know, as the word went around that the Governor was gonna give somebody clemency, I saw a rift develop as each inmate wished himself to be the chosen one. The longing to be free became as palpable as the food that we eat. But it is a meal that I am being served right now. And I am Muslim. And Allah does not allow me to swallow certain things. Allah does not allow me to take scraps from the hands of a man such as this. A man who is corrupt and immoral. A man who denigrates the gift of clemency just as he violates the principles of justice. A man that gave the order that caused the death of eight people. And so, Governor Devlin, because even the cost of freedom can be too high, I ''refuse'' your pardon! == Season Three == === ''The Truth And Nothing But...'' [3.1] === :'''Augustus Hill''': The name on the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. Only, big news: They've changed the name. It's now called the Oswald State Correctional Facility, level four. I don't know what the difference is. Leo Glynn is still warden, Sister Peter Marie is still in psych, Tim McManus is still unit manager of Emerald City, and I know for damn sure none of us have changed. Beecher is still in the hospital after Schillinger and Keller broke his bones. Alvarez is still in solitary after blinding a CO. Adebisi, still in the loony ward, after changing hats. Maybe it's truth in advertising. Maybe by getting rid of the word "penitentiary" the state is finally admitting that nobody's penitent. Nobody's sorry. Nobody. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tim McManus''': I may be blind, but I'm not dumb. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tim McManus''': Metzger, I know who you are. I know what you are. :'''Karl Metzger''': All I am is a highly trained underpaid member of the Correctional Officers Benevolent Association. But if I am what you think I am you should tiptoe. :'''Tim McManus''': Is that a threat? :'''Karl Metzger''': I'm merely reminding you who your friends are. Remember who you want standing next to you when one of these fucks comes after you with a knife. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': Truth is a powerful thing. It can right a wrong, or make a bad thing worse. In Oz the truth is, if the facts don't fit the truth, fuck the facts. === ''Napoleon's Boney Parts'' [3.2] === :'''Tim McManus''': At Attica, you organized a boxing program, right? :'''Sean Murphy''': Yeah. :'''Tim McManus''': Maybe we could try something like that here. :'''Sean Murphy''': Great, now all we need is time, gloves, and a good insurance policy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': I used to box. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Where? In the Special Olympics? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': ''(upon hearing that Keller was stabbed in the back)'' Mr. Keller's got about three or four assholes now! === ''Legs'' [3.3] === :'''Augustus Hill''': In my 'hood, you had to learn to run before you learned to walk. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Antonio Nappa''': Why would you want to transfer out of the cafeteria to take care of a bunch of fags? :'''Simon Adebisi''': Don't like fags? :'''Antonio Nappa''': What do you think? :'''Simon Adebisi''': Out there, I hated them. But here sometimes you need your dick sucked. :'''Antonio Nappa''': That's one of the many differences between you and me. I got self-control. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gloria Nathan''': You're HIV-positive. :'''Antonio Nappa''': What? :'''Gloria Nathan''': I'm sorry. :'''Antonio Nappa''': Doctor, that is not possible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to get AIDS is by having sex or sharing a needle. I haven't done either, and I'm not Haitian. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Peter Marie''': I know that Tobias was in love with you and that you broke his arms and his legs. :'''Chris Keller''': Jesus Christ, you put it that way it makes me sound so cold. === ''Unnatural Disasters'' [3.4] === :'''Mineo''': It's a boy! A bouncing, baby boy. Your son arrived yesterday. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Which unit's he in? :'''Mineo''': Your favorite: Emerald City. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Leo Glynn''': You must really love your son, Schillinger, to come in here and ask me for a favor. It must be chewing up your insides to have to stand here in my office begging me for your son's life. 'Cause this is what you're doing, right? Begging? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Yes. :'''Leo Glynn''': Think of all the times I needed something from you and you just sit here with that stupid-ass grin on your face singing "doodah." :'''Vern Schillinger''': This is my son, goddamn it! :'''Leo Glynn''': I thought you had two sons. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Yeah, I do. :'''Leo Glynn''': Maybe you'll be luckier with the second. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kareem Said''': I am black, I am a Muslim, and I am a man. And sometimes those three things, they war with each other. === ''U.S. Male'' [3.5] === :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Let me get this straight. You aim for the doctor, but you got the son instead. :'''William Cudney''': No, I aimed for the son. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': You took out the kid on purpose? :'''William Cudney''': Yeah. Now that doctor knows how I feel. He killed my baby, I killed his. :'''Cyril O'Reily''': What are you gonna say to him when you see him? :'''William Cudney''': Who? :'''Cyril O'Reily''': The doctor's son up in Heaven. I already know what I'm gonna say to Dr. Nathan's husband if they let me in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eugene Rivera''': ''[to Alvarez, who has blinded him]'' I hate you, Alvarez you fucking motherfucker. 'Cause of you I gotta carry around all this shit in the dark. If it wasn't for Tina, I would have killed myself already. Sometimes I think I should kill myself for her sake so she could start a new life without me. Some days, Alvarez, I wish you would have killed me instead of doing this. I can't cry anymore. Did you know that? You made it so I can't cry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': Kosygin is no pal of mine. I'm a Jew. He's Cossack. In my community, he's feared for his savagery. You Sicilians think you're so tough. He would cut out your heart, eat it, and not think twice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': Those are not the kind of men you should be hanging out with. :'''Andrew Schillinger''': As opposed to who? Those standup individuals that make up your merry little band? I gotta tell you something. My whole life, you crammed into my head how superior we white folks are. I don't see the truth in that. I look around this room and I see white faces and black faces, every color in between and the only thing that I know for sure is that we're all shit. You know, shit don't come in degrees. White or black, shit is shit. So fuck everything you believe in, fuck everything you stand for, and fuck you. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Don't you dare talk to me like that! :'''Andrew Schillinger''': Man, you hit me way too many times growing up! === ''Cruel and Unusual Punishments'' [3.6] === :'''Yuri Kosygin''': Unlike you, in Russia I was not a criminal. I was an educator. After the Soviets fell, things got so bleak in Moscow I decided to leave, to come to America. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': For a better life, right? :'''Yuri Kosygin''': Yes, for me and my wife. But we did not find a better life. I couldn't get employed teaching. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': Must have been terrible. :'''Yuri Kosygin''': Then I got this job painting a house, the house of Leonid Rodzinsky. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': He was in the Organizatsya. :'''Yuri Kosygin''': Yes. He treated me like shit, always making fun. Calling me "professor" and ordering me to clean his toilets. One day, he kicked me with his boot in front of my wife. I strangled him on the spot. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': It's closing time? :'''Yuri Kosygin''': Yes. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': All right, I'll go. :'''Yuri Kosygin''': Not till I finish my story. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': Strange. All this time, you've barely said two words. Now you're a regular bottum. :'''Yuri Kosygin''': It takes me time to warm up to people. I feel very close to you. I was possessed by guilt for killing Rodzinsky but I got a reputation for being ruthless. The Organizatsya hired me to exterminate someone else. The second time was easy. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': Yuri, please. I don't want to hear this. :'''Yuri Kosygin''': The third time, no problem at all. :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': Yuri, please. :'''Yuri Kosygin''': At last count, I murdered at least 49 people. You have the honor of being my 50th. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Claire Howell''': You know what your problem is, Diane? You wanna be everybody's best pal. :'''Diane Wittlesey''': And your problem? You wanna be everybody's worst nightmare. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chris Keller''': You saw my ex, Bonnie? When I met her, she was all alone, very unhappy. So I knew it would be easy to get her to fall in love with me. But what I didn't know was after I broke her heart would she still love me? See, I'm a piece of shit. I am worthless. As bad as they come. And to have someone keep loving me, no matter how bad... ''[pause]'' You happy now? You got me to open up and spill my guts all over your table. Breakthrough. === ''Secret Identities'' [3.7] === :'''Antonio Nappa''': Jesus. You look a lot like my ex-wife. :'''Nat Ginzberg''': Thanks. :'''Antonio Nappa''': That's not a compliment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chucky Pancamo''': In his day, Antonio Nappa was a great man. He was like a father to me. Well, more like an uncle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': People are defined by three things: Their heads: how they think. Their hearts: what they feel. Their dicks: who they fuck. At the end of the day, each of us has to answer one question. One, not so simple question. Who am I? === ''Out o' Time'' [3.8] === :'''Miguel Alvarez''': Alone is alone. It's the way I've been my whole fucking life. I just don't belong in the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nikolai Stanislofsky''': Forgive me. We Russians, we are suspicious of everyone. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': Everybody's worried about this Y2K problem. Come 2000, the computers are gonna have a nervous breakdown. Planes will fall from the sky, the water supply will dry up and the Pentagon will start shooting nuclear warheads at Canada. Some predict that prison doors will automatically spring open. But I got the solution: A do-over. At the stroke of midnight, it's 1900 again and we get to do the whole fucking century over. I mean, let's face it. We didn't do such a hot job the first time around. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': A bunch of men sit in cells on the brink of a new year a new century, a new millennium. They stare into the future and all they see is themselves in those same cells. Black or white, here we are on the precipice. We either hang on or we fall off. Together or separately. It's our choice. It's up to us. It's up to you and me. Happy New Year! == Season Four == === ''A Cock And Balls Story'' [4.01] === :'''Tim McManus''': A cannibal eats somebody else's flesh. :'''Sean Murphy''': So what do you call a guy who eats his own flesh? :'''Tim McManus''': Inventive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chris Keller''': ''[to Beecher]'' You know what? Oz didn't make you a bitch. You were born one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley''': She was cheating on you? :'''Moses''': Yeah. With her husband. :'''Shirley''': They were married? :'''Moses''': Bitch told me they was through. I don't fuck with another man's wife! I got principles. :'''Shirley''': Oh, I love a man with principles. <hr width="50%"/> :'''McManus''': She fell in love with a bobby? :'''Sister Pete''': No, not a bobby, Tim! He's a guard. He guards the queen. :'''McManus''': Well, then I'm sure they'll have a lot in fucking common! === ''Obituaries'' [4.02] === :'''Beecher''': I don't want to love him, but I do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''O'Reily''': A little birdie told me a secret about you and I just came to see if it was true. You got a cell phone? :'''Nikolai''': No. :'''O'Reily''': Oh. Then I guess that's what I get for listening to little birdies. Because if you did have a cell phone, you'd let me borrow it. You'd share, right? :'''Nikolai''': Share? No. Rent, maybe, if I had one, which I don't. :'''O'Reily''': I know. You told me, and I believe you. Because that's just the kind of friendship we have, right? :'''Nikolai''': Right. :'''O'Reily''': So sorry to bother you. :'''Nikolai''': Not a problem. :'''O'Reily''': Bye, Nikolai. === ''The Bill of Wrongs'' [4.03] === :'''Enrique Morales''': I'm not like Hernandez or Guerra. They're spics, old-school thugs. Me, I'm a businessman. I like Armani suits, I surf the net. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley Bellinger''': I want to be lost in oblivion. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shirley Bellinger''': You forgive me? :'''Zeke Bellinger''': Yes. :'''Shirley Bellinger''': What makes you think I want your fucking forgiveness? :'''Zeke Bellinger''': Now, Shirley, don't cuss. :'''Shirley Bellinger''': You come in here all high and mighty deciding to free me of my guilt? Well, Zeke, I don't feel guilty. I did what l had to do, and unlike you, at least my balls were big enough. You came to console me? Well, I've got a little consolation prize for you. You and the chanteuse ought to go ahead and have yourselves another child, because when Katie died, you didn't lose a child. She wasn't yours. :'''Zeke Bellinger''': What? :'''Shirley Bellinger''': Your father raped me. That child was his seed. === ''Works of Mercy'' [4.04] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Mercy is the compassion we feel for someone else's misfortune. Mercy compels us to alleviate that misfortune. Mercy is a child of charity, but the sister of justice because both are about the invisible link that exists between people. Mercy is spontaneous because misery is involuntary. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bob Rebadow''': An extraordinary experience watching the life fade from someone's eyes. Even as he was dying, Hernandez's instinct was to kill me for killing him. Survival meant less to him than revenge. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin Querns''': The warden is correct. I have served in many correctional facilities, but what he didn't say was that, like most of you, I come from the streets. I'm not some candy-ass, white liberal looking to turn you into better citizens. I intend to meet with each of you individually, but until that time, keep one principle in mind: don't fuck with Querns. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Leo Glynn''': You only see the world as black and white. Trust me, life is gray, as gray as these fucking walls. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reporter''': Shirley, do you have any thoughts as the hour approaches? :'''Shirley Bellinger''': Thoughts? Of course I have thoughts, how could I not? :'''Reporter''': Would you share them with us? :'''Shirley Bellinger''': Sure. I'm wondering why anyone cares what my thoughts are. Sure as hell didn't care when my husband was drunk and beat me or when my father-in-law raped me. No, it wasn't until I killed my daughter, till I did something horrific that what I think matters. All I wanted was for someone to pay attention, and now that you finally are, I see that my life, then or now, isn't worth shit. Oh, if I say shit, you can't use this, right? I'm not supposed to say, ''shit,'' on the air, am I? === ''Gray Matter'' [4.05] === :'''Augustus Hill''': The criminal mind-- For the past 200 years, scientists, sociologists and other folks who fret about such things, have debated whether a person commits a violent act because of their environment or their biological makeup. What turns on the red crime light in a man's brain? lf we find the cause, can we eliminate the effect? Can we end violence now and forever? <hr width="50%"/> :'''James Robson''': Beecher hasn't been out of his cell for two solid days. He just lies in his bunk sobbing like a wuss. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Good. That's what's truly elegant about this plan of mine. We don't physically touch Beecher, and yet the damage done is far more hideous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobias Beecher''': It's funny, I can't cry. I don't have any more tears left. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': Genetics or environment? Like in everything else, society searches for the ''magic bullet''-- the easy answer, 'cause the more complex the answer is, the more terrified we become. Is the root of violence much deeper, much darker? How about ''pure evil''? Maybe we human creatures are inherently evil. Maybe evil is ingrained, embedded in our souls. Flip Wilson used to joke, ''The Devil made me do it.'' Maybe he was right. Or maybe not. === ''A Word to the Wise'' [4.06] === :'''Don Zanghi''': Chucky, are you afraid of dying? :'''Chucky Pancamo''': No. :'''Claire Howell''': ''(knocking on cell door)'' What the fuck you doing with a cigarette, Pancamo? :'''Chucky Pancamo''': Smoking it. :'''Claire Howell''': Put it out, now! Or I'm coming in there. :'''Chucky Pancamo''': Now her? I'm afraid of. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chris Keller''': ''[to Schillinger]'' Hey, Vern. Four marriages, I never had any kids, so I don't know dick about parenting, but you, fuck, you deserve some sort of prize. One son, you give him drugs knowing he'll OD. The other you set up for lethal injection. You're father of the fucking year, but you know what the best news is? When both your sons are dead, that'll be the end of it, 'cause you ain't making any more children. Not in here. So that when you die, your name dies with you. Everything you are dies when you do. And the world'll be a better place. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan O'Reily''': I do things different here in Oz than the way we worked on the street. For instance, when I want someone dead, I never grease them myself. I always-- I always talk someone else into doing the deed for me. I make them believe the person I want dead is their enemy. That way the kill can't be traced back to me. :'''Patrick Keenan''': That's so cool. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': You got, what, seven years till parole? :'''Patrick Keenan''': Uh-huh. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': You think you'll go the distance? :'''Patrick Keenan''': Sure, I'll get out. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Yeah. That's good. You keep believing that, Patrick. You know how I said that I always get someone to kill for me? :'''Patrick Keenan''': Yeah. :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Well in your case, I'm gonna make an exception. === ''A Town Without Pity'' [4.07] === :'''Vern Schillinger''': Look, I said I'd protect you from Keller. I'll protect you. Okay? :'''Eli Zabitz''': Okay. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Now buzz off. :''[Zabitz leaves]'' :'''Vern Schillinger''': Jesus, I thought the Jews were supposed to be tough. :'''James Robson''': That's just the Israelis. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Hmm. Kill him. I'm going to take that shot again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': ''[about Zabitz]'' He dead? :'''James Robson''': Heart attack. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Jesus. I told him you got to watch that red meat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobias Beecher''': I prefer to be happy, but self-hate will do in a pinch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': Seven out of 10 inmates are from cities, but 90% of the prisons themselves are in rural areas. You know, farmland, hillsides, forests. Now you'd think such bucolic surroundings would have a calming effect on those inside. But no, out in the wild, things only get wilder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': We are both of us, the same, Mobay. Cop killers. Except every single day, I wish I could take back what I'd done. :'''Johnny Basil/Desmond Mobay''': Goergen was a monster. :'''Augustus Hill''': Yeah, it takes a monster to kill a monster, right? === ''You Bet Your Life'' [4.08] === :'''Simon Adebisi''': See, we are all of us bad men, even you. I know you have come to destroy me. :'''Kareem Said''': Simon, I don't want to destroy you. I want to help you change. :'''Simon Adebisi''': That is what would destroy me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tim McManus''': All right, listen up, everybody. I'm ba-ack. === ''Medium Rare'' [4.09] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Journalists are supposed to be impartial. They're supposed to keep their personal opinions to themselves. However, on TV, we know what the reporter is feeling. We see Sam Donaldson or Andrea Mitchell giving us the facts, but with the camera that close up we can also tell by a raised eyebrow or a tiny inflection what they really think about the person they're reporting on. Now, Walter Cronkite, he had the poker face. Nobody ever knew what ol' Walt was thinking. So while he was telling the truth, he was also lying to the camera. That's genius! === ''Conversions'' [4.10] === :'''Tim McManus''': Now, when you violate the rules, instead of sending you to the hole, we're going to stick you inside that cage in full view of your adoring public. Any questions? :'''Chris Keller''': Yes, Mr. McManus, sir. How big is your penis? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Omar White''': Shit, he called me a drug abuser, man. I ain't no drug abuser, Jack. I mean, truth be told, son, I treat my drugs better than most. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': I'm just sick of all this horseshit. I want to concentrate on the birth of my first grandchild. You know, I just want a little taste of happiness. :'''James Robson''': Vern, you're starting to scare me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burr Redding''': I grew up in the ghetto. Pops died when I was 10. I had to quit school, support my family by doing some of everything, from shining shoes to shooting craps. I went to Vietnam, where they taught me how to kill small children and women. I've been in all kind of penitentiaries from Arizona to Alabama and back. And I say all this not out of pride or shame. I just want to make sure that you grasp that l already grasped how things work around here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arnold "Poet" Jackson''': Look, old man, let me tell you something-- :'''Burr Redding''': You think ''old man'' bothers me? Boy, I done had a whole lot of men tougher than you, you that called me worse didn't make it to old. My age is my honor and my strength. :'''Arnold "Poet" Jackson''': Shit, you think you can just come up here and take control? :'''Burr Redding''': Some people are born leaders, others are not. A wise man knows his own limitations. You think on that. === ''Revenge is Sweet'' [4.11] === :'''Chris Keller''': You know, sometimes I think I killed all those guys 'cause I wanted to kill the part of me I despise. :'''Augustus Hill''': When you take revenge on somebody, you are actually paying them the highest compliment possible. It's like saying, ''You affected my life to such an extent that I must reciprocate. I must affect your life as deeply as you have mine.'' Revenge may be the ultimate Hallmark card. Yeah. When you think of it like that, the cliche is true: Revenge is sweet. === ''Cuts Like a Knife'' [4.12] === :'''Jeremiah Cloutier''': You're afraid of losing Kirk to Christ. :'''Ray Mukada''': He already has Christ. :'''Jeremiah Cloutier''': That is not Christ. That is show biz on a stick. :'''Ray Mukada''': Show biz? You, of all people, you have turned faith into a cartoon. :'''Jeremiah Cloutier''': Be careful, Father. Anger, envy. Those are two of the seven deadly sins. <hr width="50%"/> :'''James Robson''': Yeah, your kid was involved in all kinds of shit. Drug deals and pimping. So there's any number of people who might want him dead. :'''Vern Schillinger''': This is you consoling me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeremiah Cloutier''': Why don't we pray together? :'''Vern Schillinger''': How does the quote go? There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time for every purpose under heaven? :'''Jeremiah Cloutier''': Yes. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Well, the time for praying is over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': What's your best memory of your son? :'''Tobias Beecher''': The first time he came up unprompted and hugged me and said, "Daddy, I love you." :'''Vern Schillinger''': Beecher, I promise not to hurt your daughter or anybody else in your family. See, I wanna believe that you are innocent of killing Hank. I wanna believe because I need to believe in something. Something besides hate. This grandchild that's coming is my last chance. My last hope. I want this kid to put his arms around my neck and say, "I love you." Because see, I never had that before. :'''Tobias Beecher''': I am sorry about your son. :'''Vern Schillinger''': I'm sorry about yours too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobias Beecher''': Do you really think we're gonna get into heaven? :'''Chris Keller''': You and me together? God doesn't have the balls to keep us out. === ''Blizzard Of 01'' [4.13] === :'''Clayton Hughes''': For the first time, I know who I am, my true self, the thing I was born to do. I can change the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': When I was 10 years old, I wanted a real job. :'''Burr Redding''': You wanted a paper route. :'''Augustus Hill''': Right. But instead, you had me selling smack. :'''Burr Redding''': Well, you got to learn the business. :'''Augustus Hill''': Why? Why did I need to learn how to sell drugs? :'''Burr Redding''': Because we didn't have any other options back then. Let me tell you something. I ain't going to apologize for who I am or what I done, all right? Do I wish things had been better? Sure. Do I wish we'd been born in one of them fancy mansions up there on Kellogg Boulevard? Sure. But I don't hope and I don't dream. I take a shit in this world, I see reality and I make the best of it. :'''Augustus Hill''': You ain't got to tell me about reality. I live in Oz. I live in this chair. And I wouldn't be here if you'd let me have the goddammed motherfucking paper route. === ''Orpheus Descending'' [4.14] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Back in the old Greek times there lived a man named Orpheus. Loved his wife, took it easy on the Ouzo, played a mean guitar. Upstanding guy. So what the almighty gods do? They fucked with him. Made his life Hades. Why? 'Cause that's what those in power do to those of us with none <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hill''': Love conquers all? Never has, never will. === ''Even the Score'' [4.15] === :'''Yood''': ''(after knocking Howell down a flight of stairs)'' Maybe I got lucky and she's dead. :'''Robson''': Yo! Sorry about what happened to Leroy Tidd, or Ooga booga, or whatever the fuck you called him. [Said starts pounding on Robson] :'''Robson''': You fucking nigger! :'''Said''': NIGGER! You wanna see the nigger in me! [pounding intensifies] :'''Said''': You wanna SEE the nigger in ME! [continues beating Robson to a pulp] :'''Robson''': [in the hospital] That spade motherfuckin', that cock motherfuck, motherfuckin' NIGGER! [cut to Muslims] :'''Arif''': The Aryans must be punished. We will NO LONGER tolerate their actions! From now on each and every one if us is on point! [cut to Aryans] :'''Schillinger''': So Said's nigger ass is in the hole, it looks like Arif's in charge. These motherfuckers are more pissed off than ever. I want you guys to watch each other's backs. Carry weapons from now on. This shit's coming down and it's coming down hard. === ''Famous Last Words'' [4.16] === :'''Hughes''': I hereby declare this the Republic of Huru! Huru! Huru! Huru! == Season Five == === ''Visitations'' [5.1] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Oz, the name on the street for the Oswald State Correctional Facility Level Four. Oz is filled with murderers, rapists, racists, drug dealers with the most common of criminals. But what is it that makes a man common? Better yet, what makes him unique? Winning wars, winning awards? No. What lifts a man out of the ordinary is who he loves and who loves him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eugenia Hill''': The tears are for Augustus, my little emperor. Locked in a cell, down in that wretched place, half his body dead. And damn all I keep thinking of is his first step. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': Yeah, yeah, yeah, lots of fine people have sat staring at the inside of prison walls. Socrates, Gandhi, Joan of Arc, Even our Lord Jesus Christ. He spent the last night of his life not with holy men, but with scum like the kind we've got in Oz. One of the last things Jesus did on earth was invite a prisoner to join him in heaven. He loved that criminal. I say, he loved that criminal as much as he loved anyone. Jesus knew in his heart it takes a lot to love a sinner. But the sinner, he needs it all the more. === ''Laws of Gravity'' [5.2] === :'''Timmy Kirk''': If you're not part of the solution, you're Satan's tool. === ''Dream A Little Dream of Me'' [5.3] === '''Schillinger:''' You know, I always wondered. Was Adebisi's dick bigger than mine? [scoops up some black grease] You be the judge. === ''Next Stop, Valhalla'' [5.4] === :'''Hill''': All Vikings were not stupid brutes. They had moments of brilliance. They were such great [[shipbuilders]] and sailors that Leif Eriksson and his crew landed in America first. Some say, travelling as far South as New York harbour. Here's where the true brilliance comes in : they took a look, turned around and went home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chris Keller''': Show me your tits. :'''Sister Pete''': Don't do that. :'''Chris Keller''': Sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Timmy Kirk''': I want to become a Roman Catholic again. :'''Father Ray Mukada''': No. :'''Timmy Kirk''': What? You can't refuse me! :'''Father Ray Mukada''': I sure as hell can. === ''Wheel of Fortune'' [5.5] === :'''McManus''': I'm sorry Rebadow, it's your word against his. The word of a correctional officer against the word of an inmate... who is known to talk to God. === ''Variety'' [5.6] === :'''Faraj''': You know, with all your warped ideology, I bet you never gave much thought to why Adolf was so pissed off at the Jews. One theory is that he was traumatized by the death of his mother. She died of breast cancer and she was in the care of a Jewish physician, so, of course, the repressed hatred erupted itself into the Holocaust. Now, another theory is that Hitler's father was the illegitimate son of a German woman and some obscure Jewish man, and so Hitler himself had impure blood - Hey, now, now don't make me slip, because if I do, we are both in trouble, hmm? You know, it's amazing. We don't even know where these gums come from. I mean, this could be the gums of a kike, a spic, or even a faggot. You could be getting the beautiful gums of a big, black nigger. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cyril O'Reily''': We have to give the puppet a name. :'''Sister Pete''': Good. What do you want to call him? :'''Cyril O'Reily''': Jericho. :'''Sister Pete''': Why Jericho? :'''Cyril O'Reily''': 'Cause the walls came tumbling down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Pete''': I want to find the three men who raped Schibetta. :'''Leo Glynn''': Why? :'''Sister Pete''': Why, Leo? Why? :'''Leo Glynn''': Look, we're doing everything we can to keep the number of reported rapes down. :'''Sister Pete''': Reported? Listen to you. Your own daughter was raped. :'''Leo Glynn''': This is different. This is Oz. :'''Sister Pete''': Rape is rape, Leo. :'''Leo Glynn''': I don't agree. Here, rape has a a leveling effect. Peter Schibetta, from the day he arrived, wanted to be a tough guy, wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, running things, hurting people. Well, he got stopped by Adebisi. Now he got stopped again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Franklin Winthrop''': How the mighty have fallen. :'''Adam Guenzel''': Fuck you, faggot. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Guenzel. :'''Adam Guenzel''': Hey, Vern. The boys in Em City send their regards. :'''Vern Schillinger''': Shut up. :'''Adam Guenzel''': Hey, I was just - ''[Vern slaps Guenzel]'' God, what the fuck was - :'''Vern Schillinger''': You'll speak when you're spoken to. :''[Aryans drag Guenzel into a broom closet to rape him]'' :'''Adam Guenzel''': Hey, get the fuck off me! Get off of me! :'''Franklin Winthrop''': Sir, sir, may I watch? :'''Vern Schillinger''': Well, if you don't, how are you ever gonna learn? === ''Good Intentions'' [5.7] === :'''Yood''': Don't take any wooden nickels. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Keller''': Do you think Jesus was a fag? :'''Sister Peter Marie''': What? :'''Keller''': Do you think Jesus was a fag? It's a legitimate question. :'''Sister Peter Marie''': Are you trying to provoke me? Mock my religion? :'''Keller''': Nope, just looking for a role model. Jesus was divine and human simultaneously, right? :[''Sister nods''] :'''Keller''': Did the divine part control his sexual appetites? And if so, what chance have I got? I'm not divine, far from it, and I mean all my life anytime I've gotten the urge... I've stuck my cock into any cavity that was open and available. === ''Impotence'' [5.8] === :'''Arif:''' You were right Imam, Allah has ''punished him for his sins''. :[to Robson] :'''Arif:''' Hey, how's the mouth? == Season Six == === ''Dead Man Talking'' [6.1] === :'''Augustus Hill''': Let me tell you, dying is a lot harder on the living than it is on the dead. Death really only hurts those left behind. === ''See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Smell No Evil'' [6.2] === :'''Ryan O'Reily''': Hey Chucky, you've got a minute? :'''Chucky Pancamo''': For you O'Reily, I've got only 28 seconds. But the way you double-talk, it should be plenty. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Timmy Kirk''': ''[to Mukada]'' When I am executed, you will be stripped of your ministry, you will be abandoned by Holy Mother Church and you will spend the rest of your days wandering aimlessly and without hope. In death I will be triumphant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''James Robson''': I don't really have anyone else to talk to in this place. :'''Sister Pete''': That's what I'm here for. :'''James Robson''': You ever been scared of dying? :'''Sister Pete''': Oh, yeah. My first year here, a man named Warren Sticks, we were in the middle of a session and suddenly he leapt out of his chair and started to choke me. I blacked out, and when I came to I was lying in a pool of blood, his blood. He had slit his wrists with the edge of my tape dispenser. I realized he was attempting to knock me out so he could kill himself. :'''James Robson''': You remember that sensation, thinking you were gonna die? :'''Sister Pete''': Is that how you feel now? :'''James Robson''': I've felt that way every day since as long as I can remember. :'''Sister Pete''': How far back is that? :'''James Robson''': Much further than I'd like. I was Gerald Robson's only child. Even as a kid, you do what you gotta do to survive, 'cause when you're six, running away is not an option. :'''Sister Pete''': Did he beat you? :'''James Robson''': Oh, yeah. And worse. :'''Sister Pete''': Did he abuse you sexually? :'''James Robson''': It's funny, here I am 36 years old, and I got nowhere to run. You know? And I-I guess what what I want to know is: Is it okay to do whatever is necessary to survive? === ''Sonata Da Oz'' [6.3] === === ''A Failure to Communicate'' [6.4] === === ''4Giveness'' [6.5] === :'''Hill''': A man stands in a cemetery, reading a letter he wrote forgiving his long dead father. The mother of a girl killed by a drunk driver is racked by fantasies of retaliation. Your boyfriend begs you for one more chance. You say to the mirror you're done hating yourself. But you know you're not. Maybe instead of forgive and forget, it should be forgive and remember. Remember that you might have to wake up tomorrow and forgive all over again. And again,and again, the way your heart keeps beating like a drum. Forgive. I can't. You can. Forgive. Forgive. I can't. You can. Forgive. === ''A Day in the Death...'' [6.6] === === ''Junkyard Dawgs'' [6.7] === :'''Guerra''': Marriage ain't marriage without sex. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Idzik''': So don't you see? Everything that we do, the plans we make, the hopes we have, they're futile. Being good at a job, which I was, building a home, which I did, raising a family...which I had, none of it means anything because no matter how we try, how much we strive and struggle, it'll all come to naught. Life is a waste of time. So, that's why I'm counting on you to kill me. You will, won't you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hill''': Forget about having too much garbage, too many bottles, cans, watermelon rinds, disposable baby diapers and such. What's really terrifying in terms of the long term health of the planet is toxic waste. Toxic waste, you can't put two worse words together except maybe (pause) nuclear war. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Schillinger''': But Beecher knows too much about both of us. He's gotta die. :'''Keller''': Yeah. :'''Schillinger''': I'll deal with it. :'''Keller''': No, I'll kill Beecher. :'''Schillinger''': You? :'''Keller''': Before I whack him, I just wanna fuck him in the ass one more time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Keller''': I concocted this whole god damned thing just to convince you that I'm on the up and up. Now, if I was really siding with Schillinger, Toby, you'd be dead already. But instead...all I really want...is for you to love me again. ''[Forces a kiss on Beecher]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Torquemada''': Miguel Alvarez. I hear you're the man to know. :'''Alvarez''': Whoever told you that was an idiot. === ''Exeunt Omnes'' [6.8] === :'''Miguel Alvarez''': I'm so tired. I'm tired of trying. I'm tired of the walls. The lies. The fear. The death. I'm so tired. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vern Schillinger''': You're a dead man, sweetpea. ''[Vern is stabbed and realizes that Keller switched the prop knife]'' That cocksucker! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chris Keller''': If it weren't for me, you'd be in the morgue, instead of Schillinger. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Maybe. :'''Chris Keller''': Yeah. :'''Tobias Beecher''': But if you think I got any satisfaction out of killing him, you're wrong. You don't know me at all. :'''Chris Keller''': I don't know you? I know you're free of that Nazi fuck! :'''Tobias Beecher''': No, I'm not. No more free than I am of his two sons, or Metzger or Cathy Rockwell. Chris, after six years in this place I'm not sure about anything anymore. Heaven, justice, truth. The only thing I believe in is life. Every life is precious. Not just yours or mine, but every single person on the planet who's breathing, their lives are precious. And the loss of a single life, even in Oz, is my loss, too. :'''Chris Keller''': Well, that's bullshit. The only thing that matters is you and me. :'''Tobias Beecher''': I don't expect you to understand. You kill for sport. :'''Chris Keller''': I don't understand? I'm not the one who got here by accident, pal. I kill because I have to. I kill what stands in my way like the Aryans. :'''Tobias Beecher''': What? What about the Aryans? :'''Chris Keller''': That they're no threat to us anymore. I took care of that. :'''Tobias Beecher''': How? How'd you take care of it? :'''Chris Keller''': Never mind, kiss me. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Wait. Answer me this first, okay? :'''Chris Keller''': Hmm? :'''Tobias Beecher''': I want you to be honest, okay? Did you purposely fuck up my parole? :'''Chris Keller''': Toby, I couldn't face the rest of my life living in here without you. Don't you see? I did what I did out of love. :'''Tobias Beecher''': If you really love me, then leave me alone. :'''Chris Keller''': I can't. :'''Tobias Beecher''': Listen to me. Listen to me. I loved alcohol. I loved heroin. I had to put them behind me because they were poison. Death. You are death. Let me live. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobias Beecher''': When God was designing the universe why did he make something so wonderful so fucking painful? :'''Sister Pete''': I think he thought we could handle it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Augustus Hill''': So, what have we learned? What's the lesson for today, for all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz? That morality is transient? That virtue cannot exist without violence? That to be honest is to be flawed? That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us? That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask? The story is simple. A man lives in prison and dies. How he dies that's easy. The who and the why is the complex part the human part the only part worth knowing.

I'd change my own head. I'd admit that I'm angry, that I'm wounded, that my heart was broken. Seems like we're so busy hooking up, sexually networking, making connections. Does sex even mean anything anymore? I guess I thought if I didn't take sex seriously, I could some how avoid being affected by it. If sex doesn't have anything to do with intimacy and I don't feel anything... somehow I'll be stronger. But that's not true. Opening yourself up, even if it means your heart and soul are crushed. That's what makes you stronger. That's what gives you the power to move on, put the past behind you. To get out there, and get your heart stomped on all over again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard''': When did it hit you that what you were feeling was love? :'''Sarah''': When did it? ''[pauses to think]'' That's a pretty serious question. :'''Richard''': I'm a journalist. It's what we do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sarah''': You are a son of a bitch! :'''Richard''': That's not fair, you've never met my mother. She's quite lovely. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard''': I never said I wouldn't print the article. :'''Sarah''': You said "not to worry". :'''Richard''': What I meant was "I wasn't going to publish your name". :'''Sarah''': What!? In your twisted mind, you think that makes you a gentlemen?! :'''Richard''': You are completely bipolar. Last night, you sidled up to me, and said I can print anything I want. :'''Sarah''': Did you do this to bait me? :'''Richard''': What?! You think I stay up night, thinking of ways to get you into my office?! ''[he thinks, and looks at her]'' Wait a minute, maybe I do! === ''The Truth About Sex'' [1.2] === :'''Zoey''': Art is life. :'''Lee''': Life is art. === ''Tell Me No Secrets'' [1.3] === :'''Jake''': Last week we discussed the definition of sexual misconduct. This week, let's talk about responsibility. Whoever you had for sixth grade health, Ms. Franklin, Sister Peter Marie... === ''Zen and the Art of Manipulation'' [1.4] === :'''Prof. Bonatelle''': ''[about Katrina and Richard]'' What if they just like each other? :'''Prof. Macklin''': Like each other? ''[pause]'' I can see him liking her, but her liking him? :'''Prof. Bonatelle''': She liked you too - once upon a time. === ''Love and the Tenth Planet'' [1.5] === :'''Owen''': I think I made love for the first time in my life. I realized what was happening...the sex, the feelings... they were different from everything else I had experienced. There are things that you can't say, that you have to show...physically. I don't know how to call it. Some kind of physicall emotion. But you both have to be talking. Simultaneously, physically. And when you do you find that you're saying the same things. That is amazing. :'''Gunther''': How'd you learn to edit? :'''Zoe''': Strunk & White Elements of Style. At first I thought it was a book about fashion, but I found I have a passion for punctuation. :'''Gunther''': Zoe. :'''Zoe''': Yes, Gunther? :'''Gunther''': Stop with the flirting. I'm gay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sarah''': Are you even listening to me? Owen: Yeah, it's the only time I'll ever get to go to college... Sarah: Don't just repeat back what I say to you. Owen: Don't just repeat back what I say to you? Sarah: Owen, stop. :'''Owen''': I will. For a hundred dollars. === ''The Passion of the Beaver'' [1.6] === :'''Mr. Thorne''': You know you should grab your girl and get the hell out of here. You two haven't spend any time together at all. :'''Richard''': You know she's networking, it's fine. :'''Mr. Thorne''': It doesn't look to be your style to be the wall flower. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Owen''': ''[to Sara]'' You only want to help people, when they can do something for you. I know, you're such a great politician. ''[pause]'' Well you're a lousy sister! And a not to great human being. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard''': Passion is pain, passion is pain. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katrina''': I used you! :'''Richard''': For sex? Because I'm alright with that. === ''Risky Business'' [1.7] === :'''Richard''': Do you lack compassion for other people? Maybe. But you definitely lack compassion for yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jake''': This week's video diary assignment: how much are you willing to risk in order to get what you want. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Owen''': Well, I hope I'm not being un-PC or a little too OC to ask this, but did Richard Thorne spend the night last night? === ''Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder'' [1.8] === :'''Professor Cole''': I read your paper. It's good. Well-written, impeccably researched. Lee: I'm glad you liked it. :'''Professor Cole''': Indeed I did. In fact, I've enjoyed this paper every time I've read it. Which according to my computer cheat check is three times before. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zoe''': Don't hire Cynthia back. Gunther: Reason: sanity. Logic: from the mouths of proofreaders. :'''Richard''': Why not? :'''Zoe''': Because I wrote this column. :'''Richard''': You? How long did it take you to write this? :'''Zoe''': About an hour.

Most times they've become caregivers after becoming famous, usually due to themselves or a family member taking ill. Our keynote speaker today is unique in that he is a professionally trained caregiver before he became known to all of us. And through the unbelievable constraints that have been placed on his time, he's never lost sight of his goal of becoming a teacher and helping children living with developmental disabilities. Only his classroom has become a whole lot larger than he ever expected. *One other positive effect of his personal dedication is that as he increases the awareness of children with developmental disabilities and their need for inclusion, he's also created a dedicated and knowledgeable group of child advocates, also known as his fans. I've spoken with many of Clay's fans here, at the Hawaiian Voices for Change Gala, online and through our support of the Florida Voices for Change Gala, and I've got to tell you, they've become true ambassadors for inclusion, driven and knowledgeable in all aspects of inclusion. The bell has rung and Mr. Aiken's classroom is now truly in session across the world. *It's also our true privilege to present the Robert M. Barg Memorial Achievement Award to Clay. This award is very special to our hearts as it is named after the kindest man that we have ever met, our dad. It's rarely given and only presented to those who share that special brand of kindness and who work hard to truly make a difference in the lives of those in need. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Mr. Clay Aiken. **Gary Barg, speech at the Today's Caregiver Convention in Florida, 2005 *To be fair to all, nobody from the show can tell a finalist whether a song choice is good or bad, no matter how much they want to know. Byrd remembers Clay Aiken: He'd say, 'Byrd, if this is a great song choice, blink your left eye. **[[w:Debra Byrd|Debra Byrd]], (talking about American Idol) *When I review the tape [of the show] the next day, there's lots of screaming and crying,..."hen I recover the same way I do anytime I'm injured: ice, elevation and my Clay Aiken CD. **[[Ellen DeGeneres]], ''US Weekend Magazine'' *What a dear young man.It was like watching magic. Absolute pure song. The boy stopped being there and there was nothing but singing. It was like watching magic...this young man unzipped himself and emerged like a butterfly.He did it so naturally and so beautifully that I think all of our jaws dropped and we thought "wow." Clay Aiken. What a great kid. **[[w:Ken Jenkins|Ken Jenkins]], Scrubs backstage interview *I always like the idea that you can turn on the radio and say, 'Oh, that's Clay Aiken. Oh, that's Barbra Streisand. Oh, that's Frank Sinatra, Oh, that's Tony Bennett.' They're a star if you can identify them immediately by their sound. That kid has his own sound. He's got energy. He's got soul. He's got it all. That voice pours out of him. **[[w:Merv Griffin|Merv Griffin]] *We have someone here today, from the smash hit show American Idol, we're thrilled to have him joining us today, because when it was made known that he would appear on this Telethon, the emails and the fan clubs that this young man has have sent us $30,000.00 just at the fact that he was here. *And I can honestly say I have never, in all of my life, seen a theatrical groundswell that this kid has motivated, that it makes us all come right back to the bobby sox and Frank. And isn't it nice to live through that magnificence again? Here is Clay Aiken **Jerry Lewis introducing Clay Aiken at the 2003 MDA Telethon === From American Idol Judges === *Clay, you sing like Andre Agassi plays tennis, perfection, perfection. And I would kill to write and produce your first CD." **Neil Sedaka, American Idol 2 guest judge *"And Clay, I want to say something to you. I think you are one of the few people I've met throughout this competition who can take criticism like a grown up. Learn, You definitely got better, You've lost some of this facial thing which I think was distracting, and You just did a really grown up, fantastic performance. Congratulation." <br><small> - Simon Cowell on "Solitaire" - </small> *"Clay I think, without a doubt, this performance, that song, is the best performance of the entire competition that I've ever known. Unbelievable, unbelievable. <br><small> - Paula Abdul on "Unchained Melody" - </small> *"Clay, I think this is the third pop idol, or American idol have done, if you include the english one. Probably one of the best performance I've ever heard through the entire competition. <br><small> - Simon Cowell on "To Love Somebody" - </small> ==References== <div style="font-size: 85%">

I don't look judicial? :'''Maxine''': No! You look like a deranged minister! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vincent''': No, no, no.

I'll wait. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vincent''': You sure can clear a room. :'''Maxine''': It hasn't worked on you yet. === ''Short Calendar'' === :'''Maxine''': Lauren, your opinions are not as fascinating as you think they are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lauren''': What's anorexia? :'''Maxine''': A disease women get from reading magazines. === ''Trial By Jury'' === :'''Maxine''': Peter, go over there and deal with that sales girl. Something about her scares me. I think it's her teeth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I happen to remember something Professor Larkin said about you. He said you had a brilliant mind for theatrics, and you would do well in the courtroom, until you met a judge who was smarter than you. Well, guess what just happened. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': I have to check my compassion at the door. :'''Greta''': Says who? :'''Amy''': I've got to think about the law, not the people. :'''Greta''': Well, what do you think the law is for? When you uphold the law, you uphold the good of the people. Not just the people in your courtroom. All of them. Nobody loses. === ''Victim Soul'' === :'''Amy''': Where's Vincent? :'''Maxine''': He said something about a freelance writing job. :'''Lauren''': It's the lady from the hardware store, he met her looking for screws. === ''Last Tango in Hartford'' === :'''Vincent''': Writing is writing.

Your father was a pragmatist, Vincent and he loved his family very much. :'''Vincent''': So he wanted a family more than medical school? :'''Maxine''': Yes. When we had Amy, I figured perfect one boy, one girl, now we have our family, but your father wanted one more. He finally talked me into it. :'''Vincent''': So you never wanted me? :'''Maxine''': Just in the abstract, dear. === ''Near Death Experience'' === :'''Maxine''': No, if I sit still, I'll think terrible things. Like, how hard is it to hire a hitman? And, do they take credit cards? === ''The Persistence of Tectonics'' === :'''Maxine''': And this is a very nice gay man, Justin, whom we just met. And this is my son, Vincent, who isn't gay. He's a writer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maxine''': I was just down in the basement...Hooking a rug. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maxine''': After 40 years of cooking Thanksgiving dinner, even the word 'Thanksgiving' makes me mad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vincent''': Something smells good. :'''Amy''': That would be Socrates' breath. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': You could be a little more sympathetic. :'''Bruce''': I don't do sympathetic. :'''Amy''': Of course not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maxine''': You know what I read the other day? That Denver, Colorado is moving closer to San Francisco, California by an inch every ten years. :'''Amy''': Is this relevant? :'''Maxine''': An inch every ten years. That's the way the Rocky Mountains were formed, and that's the way the world changes. Not by stamping your foot to get your way. Not even by the bang of a gavel. It's by the choices that we make, you know, all the time. You do what you think is right, every time. Slowly, the world starts to change. That's how we leave our imprint on life -- an inch every ten years. :'''Amy''': Where do you come up with this stuff? :'''Maxine''': I don't know; just pops into my head. It's a curse, really. === ''Crowded House'' === :'''Maxine''': Please, don't let me break your concentration by living here. === ''Presumed Innocent'' === :'''Donna''': Some people believe that before we’re born, when we’re still in spirit form, we make a deal with the universe... choose the families we’re born into. We have different reasons, based on the lessons we need to learn. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I chose mine. But, it’s obvious why Judge Gray chose hers. I’m just really glad I could be a part of it.

It's always the same thing. It's why you got married when you knew it was a mistake, and it's why you slept with Lauren's karate teacher and God knows who else. You are afraid to be alone. You are. You get married 5 minutes after you graduated law school, and when you divorced Michael, you moved in here 5 minutes after that. And all of this hovering and scolding and policing and signing me up to walk with the New Age Hypochondriacs from Hell, is just another version of you being afraid to be alone. You're stuck to me like pine sap because you're afraid your Mommy's gonna die.

How do you keep banging your head against the wall every single day without your skull caving in? :'''Maxine''': Well I certainly have my share of headaches, but the wall has a few lumps as well. :'''Kyle''': I work my ass off to get to these kids, to bring them in, let them know that it's going to be ok and then they're gone. They run away or they're dead. Well guess what? I'm done. I wil work at Teen Harbor but I am through with the chasing. If they want help they will come in, fill out the forms and they will ask. I'm through going after them, it's not worth it. No wonder I'm smoking so much. :'''Maxine''': Well, I'm sure you know best. However at this moment you do not know best because if you did, you would shut up! And you would quit using feeling sorry for yourself as an excuse to smoke, and you would know that if you want absolute victories, then you should go back into medicine. We do what we can.

I was still alive, my loved ones were still dead. It wasn't over. * I didn't deserve to walk away. There are no happy endings. * A bomb went off in my head. The bullet lodged in my brain moved a fatal, microscopic distance. * Everything had started out as black and white. Somewhere down the road, the line went blurry. The colors started to run, got smudged and gray. Winterson had been above my suspicion. It felt like a goodbye. * There was a blind spot in my head, a bullet-shaped hole where the answers should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain. * Kissing her, I think of the cold laws of cause and effect. * Mona's appearance had triggered a dislocation. Schizophrenia. I felt elation, but with it, fear that all the past evils had come along for the ride. * Home, sweet home. Something in the night felt like a door had been opened, an echo of the past, an old monster snapping its eyes open in the depths of my brain. Closing your eyes forces you to look at the darkness inside. * A funhouse is a linear sequence of scares. Take it or leave it is the only choice given. Makes you think about free will: have our choices been made for us because of who we are? * Mona had come through here, the dead cleaners is a sign of her passage. * ''[Narration, after having seen Mona Sax, whom he thought dead]'' If you think nothing can get to you, you're lying to yourself. At best you're temporarily dead. A lightning bolt could re-animate you without a warning. * The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it. But it's like looking down into the grave of your love, or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off. * Throw the rules out the window, odds are you'll go that way too. * Like all the bad things in my life, it started with the death of a woman. I couldn't save her. * The genius of the hole: no matter how long you spend climbing out, you can still fall back down in an instant. * All this time we got the fable of Sleeping Beauty wrong. The prince didn't kiss her to wake her up. No one who slept for a hundred years is likely to wake up. It was the other way round. He kisses her to wake himself up from the nightmare that has brought him there. * They were after me, it was my fault. You can't run from your past. You'll end up running in circles. Until you fall back down to the same hole you were trying to escape from, only the hole's grown deeper. * Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead. * There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "why me?" and "what if?". When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions. * The trouble with wanting something is the fear of losing it, or never getting it. The thought makes you weak. * Now, like all my loves, she is mine forever. She has brought me here, to this moment of clarity, where time slows down, and I choose to look back, to see myself. And in that act of seeing, I am reborn. * As surely as the bullet rips through the victim's flesh, organ and bone, it shatters the image of the man who pulls the trigger. * The past is a puzzle, like a broken mirror. As you piece it together, you cut yourself, your image keeps shifting. And you change with it. It could destroy you, drive you mad. It could set you free. * I didn't know what Mona wanted, if it was the same thing that I was after. To kill those who were trying to kill her. The bullet, real or imagined, lodged in her head routing her synapses. Driving her on. * This is what I see when I look back. These moments, blinding as snow, they kill you, change you. You die and live again, remade. * I had a bomb ticking in my head. No amount of painkillers would disable it. * "The things that I want", by Max Payne. A smoke. A whiskey. For the sun to shine. I want to sleep to forget. To change the past. My wife and baby girl back. Unlimited ammo and a license to kill. Right then, more than anything, I wanted her. * There are things in life you cannot choose: how you feel. * Like always, the dead had all the answers I was missing. It wasn't that they weren't eager to talk; quite the contrary, the dead had plenty to say and once they started, they would never shut up. Their words would keep you awake at night. * When you're waking up, the world is a blur. What was clear in a dream, suddenly makes no sense. No surreal rescues. No easy, magic way out. But you are awake. * With no way to deal with the past, I kept my eyes on the road, off the rear-view mirror and the road-kill behind me. I chased lesser mysteries, other people's crimes. * [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]] was right, time is relative to the observer. When you're looking down the barrel of a gun, time slows down. Your whole life flashes by, heartbreak and scars. Stay with it, and you can live a lifetime in that split second. * This is love. When someone drags you from the wreckage when you have given in, ready to just lie there and die. This is love. When someone, no matter what the cost, shows you there is hope, a choice, that you can put down your gun. This is love. Love hurts. * When entertainment turns into a surreal reflection of your life, you're a lucky man if you can laugh at the joke. Luck and I weren't on speaking terms, or maybe the place was just too damn lame to be funny. * Your past has a way of sneaking up on you. You'll hear broken echoes of it everywhere, like a bad replay. You'll get mad at everyone for reminding you about it, even if it's all in your head. * You come to, amidst the wreckage of your own making. Do you stay there, eyes squeezed shut, afraid to move, hoping to bleed to death? Or do you crawl out, help your loved ones, make sure the fire doesn't spread, try to fix it? * Firing a gun is a binary choice. Either you pull the trigger or you don't. * The explosion in my apartment had started a fire. The flames couldn't burn away my past. They only made the shadows behind me leap higher. * In a nightmare, every choice you make is a wrong one. I would wake up at night, afraid that day was a dream I'd forget. * I am afraid. But I start again from the beginning, trace my own steps to the scene of the crime. * The gilding on the mask had cracked to reveal the rot underneath. * The world was getting too small for comfort. * "Cleaners" was a misnomer. They were making a mess of it. * I felt like I was walking into a trap. I felt guilty, like I was about to get caught. * Fraternizing with the enemy. I had stepped over the edge. The cartoon moment when the gravity waits for the coyote to realize his mistake before the plunge. * Mona was still the answer. I caught glimpses of her out of the corner of my eye, felt her presence everywhere I went. I was trying to trace her path, recreate the winding course of the magic bullet in her head. I couldn't find her. * She was dead. The bullet in her head had come to the end of its slow-motion journey. * I'd found the sniper's hideout. They'd been spying on me for days, weeks, months even. My every action, observed, recorded, analyzed. The place was the proof every paranoiac dreams of. * I had tried to run from it, edit it out. Winterson was dead. I was a murderer. * One thing left to do. I was compelled to give Vlad his gun back. One bullet at a time. * Home is where your heart is &hellip; ''[Cleaner in distance, speaking to other cleaner: "Simple, not like in the movies where the hero has a chance to disarm the bomb."]'' Once, it would have been a house in the suburbs &hellip; ''[Cleaner in distance, again speaking to other cleaner: "He opens the door, and BOOM!"]'' Now, nothing was left of it &hellip; ''[The door is opened by a third cleaner and blows all three up, as well as the apartment]'' I wasn't happy with the way the cleaners were doing their job. * Behind the door [7th floor of the apartment building] were the suites. They weren't an improvement on the regular apartments. * Without Mona's help, I'd be a dead man. Suddenly, for the first time in I don't know how long, I realized, I didn't wish to be dead. * ''[Over microphone]'' Vlad, shut up and stay alive, I'm coming. * Mona, these guys are packing, close to overkill, hardcore professionals. * I felt the rise of that old familiar feeling. I hated it. I welcomed it. * ''[In a dream, in a cell labeled "paranoid"]'' Wait, just wait, I can figure this out, I can fix this. I can make it better! Just think. Think! * It was all connected. The murder of Senator Gate, the Cleaners, the Inner Circle, Vinnie Gognitti. I had to make Winterson see it. * Vinnie was about to piss his pants, he'd end up short circuiting the bomb and blowing us both up. * Winterson would have found a way to do this nice, neat and clean. Logic told me backup should be on its way. Somebody must have heard the gunfire. Logic was such a liar. * Mona's words on her being a "sitting duck" kept playing in my head. The bomb had misdirection written all over it. * I couldn't crack her. I had to crack the case. * Sometimes, something good comes out of it. Something you know you wouldn't deserve in a million years. * You'd have to be a first-degree fool to fall for a woman who returns from the dead only to put a gun to your face. * She was beautiful. I hated her for making me feel this way. * Now that I was with her, I was reluctant to hear her answers. * Your past is like pieces of a broken mirror. You try to pick them up, but you only end up cutting yourself. * ''[Final quote]'' I had a dream of my wife. She was dead. But it was all right. * It was almost morning, waking up from the American Dream. We are willing to suffer, to die for the things we care about. For love, for the right choices, Because of her, I had solved the case. My case. All of it. Who I am. Is it worth it? Saying that it never is would be a lie. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes, something good comes out of it. Something you know you wouldn't deserve in a million years. Something that gives you a reason to go on. ** Only said in the Dead on Arrival ending == Mona Sax == * ''[To Max]'' What are you so afraid of? What do you want from me? * ''[Trying to assist Max, to herself]'' Sometimes, Mona, you gotta go down to get up. * You're a bastard, Max. * ''[To Vlad, having shot him in the arm]'' See? You're nothing but a one-armed bandit. * ''[Final quote]'' God, I turned out to be such a damsel in distress. ** She dies after saying this unless the game has been completed on ''Dead on Arrival'' difficulty. == Vladimir Lem == * ''[Catchphrase]'' Have no fear, Vlad is here! * ''[catchphrase]'' (Name of person(s) he is talking to), dearest of all my friends...! * Max! 911! Bad guys with big guns! * ''[Over microphone]'' Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present Max Payne. New York's Finest, with the biggest mobster bodycount ever. Dearest guests, prepare to die &hellip; ''[Assorted gunfire]'' Max, I'd love to come and welcome you, but I'm busy dodging bullets and hiding under a desk at the moment. * ''[Over microphone]'' Max? Damn it &hellip; aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhhh! * Hypothetically, if the only choice you've got is to do the wrong thing, then it's not really the ''wrong'' thing, it's more like fate. * I hate to do this, but you know how you are, you would never let it go! * It's better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven. ** Actual quote from ''Paradise Lost'' by John Milton * No gun when you need one &hellip; * ''[About Mona]'' I know of her. Her reputation as a hired killer. I hear she is a stone fox. I would fuck her. * ''[To Max]'' Besides, a gentleman always avenges the insults done to his lady. You did kill Winterson. ''[Shoots Max]'' * Of course, we agree to disagree. * ''[Alfred Woden's message machine]'' I am coming to kill you, old man. You really know how to piss me off, you know? Would it have killed you to say "thank you" for once in your life, to say, "Vlad, my son &ndash; can I call you my son, because I sure do love you like one. &ndash; Vlad, my son, you are a true prodigy, everything you touch turns to gold." Oh, wait, it is going to kill you. I'm done doing your dirty work for you. You should be proud. I have learned all you've taught me.

He claimed to be the most pious man in the village. If anyone strayed from the path of righteousness, it was Seevis who made sure you were severely punished for it. But seems to be a lot more leeway for sin in the religion of Origin than one would presume from all the preaching. :'''[[w:Cameron Mitchell (Stargate)|Lt.

A more accurate translation would be "neutralize" or "cancel out". :'''[[w:Cameron Mitchell (Stargate)|Lt. Colonel Mitchell]]''': Well, that still begs a lot of questions. How do you aim at something you can't see? :'''[[w:Daniel Jackson (Stargate)|Dr. Jackson]]''': Clearly, it can't be a weapon in the conventional sense.

I sound like Mikey! * [''last lines of the film, narrating''] We live together, we train together, we fight together, we stand for good together. We are ninjas.

I'm so sorry, I set the alarm, but-- But-- ''[quickly looks around, and picks up the alarm clock and puts it on the floor and crushes it as the alarm beeps]'' It-it's broken, the clock. ''[bashes it on the coffee table, which causes the batteries to fly out, finally stopping it.]'' :'''April:''' It's bad enough that you're out every night playing vigilante, but we've got a deadline to meet. :'''Casey:''' I'm sorry. Oh, wait, babe, real quick. You left a message saying you found Leo. I mean, is he there with you? :'''April:''' No. I found him. He's not coming back. :'''Casey:''' But-- But didn't you tell him how weird things have gotten with the Turtles? :'''April:''' Look, Casey, we're gonna lose the biggest client we have if you don't get down here. :'''Casey:''' All right. I'm on my way. <hr width=50%/> :'''Thief:''' ''[exiting store, pointing gun at store clerks]'' And you keep them up, got that? And don't let me catch you calling the cops. ''[gets yanked up by Nightwatcher]'' What? Not again. ''[gets thrown at the wall by Nightwatcher]'' :'''Nightwatcher:''' Didn't I take care of you last week? :'''Thief:''' ''[worried]'' Hey. No, n-no. Come on, now. :'''Nightwatcher:''' ''[picks up thief]'' I'm very disappointed in you, knucklehead. Guess night school's in session. :'''Casey:''' ''[whistles]'' Hope I'm not disturbing class. Hey, Nightwatcher. Need any teaching assistance? :'''Raphael/Nightwatcher:''' ''[to himself]'' Oh, no. Casey. Yeah, I've got this one covered, pal. ''[backhands thief]'' Thanks, but no thanks. :'''Casey:''' You think you own these rooftops? I happen to think you could use my help. ''[Raph summons his ball and chain]'' And I could use a sidekick. You may have everyone else fooled, but you haven't fooled me, Raph. :'''Raphael/Nightwatcher:''' ''[takes Casey's bat with the ball and chain]'' Yeah, well, guess what, pal. Now… Hey, wait a minute. ''[groans]'' How'd you know it was me? :'''Casey:''' Wasn't that hard, man. You know, you look like a big, metal turtle. :'''Raphael:''' ''[removes his helmet]'' Ah. It's that obvious, huh? :'''Thief:''' ''[trying to run away]'' I should've stayed in law school. :'''Casey:''' Aww, ain't that cute? He's trying to get away. ''[looks at Raphael who smiles at Casey Jones]'' Well, looks like I got a sidekick. :'''Raphael/Nightwatcher:''' Yeah, right. You're the sidekick. <hr width=50%/> :'''Raph''': Well, ''[yawns]'' I'm going to bed. Hey, Leo's back. ''[pushes book off of Don's face]'' Better go say "hello" before he leaves again. :'''Donnie:''' What? ''[happily]'' Leo! :'''Leo:''' ''[happily]'' Hey! :'''Donnie:''' ''[he and Leonardo hug]'' Hey! :'''Mikey:''' ''[sees Leo; surprised]'' Huh, Leo? ''[falls over; happily]'' Is that really you? :'''Leo:''' Yeah. :'''Mikey:''' ''[gives Leo a hug.]'' I'm, like, dreaming, aren't I? :'''Leo:''' No, Mikey. You're not dreaming. :'''Mikey:''' Oh, good. I have nightmares about birthday parties. ''[hugs Leo tightly]'' :''[scene fades to the Turtles on top of a building]'' :'''Raph:''' Okay, Leo, I'll bite. What are we doin' up here? :'''Leo:''' I told Splinter I'd get this team in shape again. :'''Mikey:''' Hey, I've been training. Since you left, my video game scores have, like, doubled. :'''Leo:''' ''[smirks; amused]'' Right. And while you've been playing games, little brother, ''[seriously]'' this Nightwatcher character's come into the neighborhood like some kind of vigilante showboat, but his days are done. :'''Raph:''' Hey, you went AWOL, Leo. And the Nightwatcher was the only guy to pick up the slack. ''[coldly]'' Crime never took a break. You did. :'''Mikey:''' ''[about the Nightwatcher]'' I heard his bike turns into a plane, or like, a jetpack. Hey, Don, you're so smart. Why don't we have jetpacks? :'''Donnie:''' Yeah, that's good, Mikey. I don't even trust you with a driver's license. Have you seen the way this guy behaves--? :''[the Turtles are interrupted by a roar coming from a construction site]'' :'''Mikey:''' Whoa. ''[he and the Turtles run to see the construction site]'' Ho-ho, someone's cranky. :''[a monster roars in the construction site]'' :'''Raph:''' Okay, Jungle Boy, grab a vine. ''[dashes to investigate]'' :'''Leo:''' ''[warningly]'' Raph, wait! Splinter told us not to fight! :'''Mikey:''' ''[chuckles]'' "Jungle Boy." Good one. :'''Leo:''' ''[groans in annoyance]'' Alright, but remember, we're only up here for training. :'''Mikey:''' Y'know what I always say, "Train by doing, dude." :'''Leo:''' Mikey, when have you ''ever'' said that? <hr width=50%/> :'''Mikey:''' This is why we need jetpacks. :'''Donnie:''' ''[worried]'' Okay, any more bright ideas? :'''Mikey:''' How about this? ''[he and Donnie look at each other, and they both scream in terror while Mikey jumps into Donnie's arms, [[Scooby-Doo]]-style; piece of scaffolding falls on top of the Turtles]'' :'''Donnie:''' When this is over, I'm totally calling the architect. <hr width=50%/> :'''Mikey:''' ''[dazed]'' Dudes, did anyone get the license plate of that thing that hit us last night? Oy, my head... :'''Donnie:''' Okay, th-that was just weird. I mean, first the Foot, then that hideous monster-- :'''Mikey:''' Yeah. It looked like your ''mom'', dude! ''[laughs]'' :'''Donnie:''' ''[not amused in the slightest]'' Yeah, that would make her ''your'' mom too, doofus. :'''Mikey:''' ''[stops laughing; offended]'' Yeah, whatever. :'''Raph:''' Keep laughin', Mikey. Last night was an embarrassment. ''[slams his fist on the table]'' :'''Leo:''' I'll tell you what's embarrassing. You can't even follow a single order. :'''Raph:''' ''[sarcastically]'' Oh-ho-ho-ho, how cute. ''[seriously]'' You've been back for 5 minutes, and now you're schoolin' us on your master plan? :'''Leo:''' ''[scoffs; incredulously; not liking the attitude]'' Oh, oh, okay, so this is ''my'' fault now, huh, Raph? ''[raising his voice]'' I'm the ''only one'' that has to be responsible?! :'''Raph:''' Hey, you're the "trained master", not me. :'''Mikey:''' ''[whispering; worried]'' Dudes, can it, here comes Splinter. ''[quickly drops his breakfast pizza slice and covers the bandaged spot on his head]'' :'''Splinter:''' ''[walks into the kitchen, singing in Japanese; happily and completely oblivious to the tension]'' Ooh, good morning, my sons. :'''Leo, Donnie and Mikey:''' ''[simultaneously]'' Good morning, sensei. :'''Raph:''' 'Sup? :'''Splinter:''' ''[continues singing in Japanese]'' Every Ninja's day should start with a healthy breakfast. ''[Leo and Raph angrily glare at each other while eating their cereal. Donnie notices but Splinter doesn't]'' It fills me with pride to see you boys together again. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my stories. :'''Leo:''' ''[to Raph]'' Hothead. :'''Raph:''' ''[to Leo]'' Splinter Jr. :''[Splinter prepares to watch The Gilmore Girls.]'' :'''Splinter:''' ''[excitedly]'' Cody is ''going'' to break up with Donna. I just know it. ''[turns on the TV and sits down]'' :'''Announcer:''' We interrupt ''[[w:Gilmore Girls|The Gilmore Girls]]'' for this special news report. :'''News Reporter:''' Monsters loose in the city? Strange reports are coming in tonight about a construction site incident that sounds like something out of science fiction. :'''Splinter:''' (What?) ''[angrily]'' '''''Boys?!''''' ''[cut to the Turtles kneeling in front of Splinter]'' Leonardo, I am most disappointed in you. You are the eldest of your brothers. I was counting on you to bring order to the chaos of this family. This is why I have forbidden any surface activity. We cannot return to the surface to fight evil if we continue to fight each other. :'''Leo:''' But, Master Splinter, how can I be expected to do so when Raph--? :'''Splinter:''' ''[sternly; not in the mood for the blame game]'' There are ''no excuses'' when you are the leader, my student. (Got that?) :''[Leo sighs in defeat and shame.]'' :'''Raph:''' We have to go out and find who's responsible for this. There ain't no other solution. :'''Leo:''' ''[sighs; having had enough of violence]'' Save the brute vigilante junk for that Night Watchman. :'''Raph:''' ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. :'''Mikey and Donnie:''' Nightwatcher. :'''Leo:''' ''[under his breath; bitterly]'' Yeah, whatever. :'''Raph:''' ''[stands up to leave; coldly]'' I'm goin' out. <hr width=50%/> :'''April:''' ''[happily]'' Leo, you came back! :'''Casey:''' ''[happily]'' Leo! :'''Leo:''' Sorry, the reunion isn't under better circumstances. :'''Mikey:''' ''[seeing April and Casey's apartment complex]'' Whoa-ho-ho. Nice pad, kids. ''[to Raph]'' Oh, hey, Raph. :'''Donnie:''' ''[taking Raph's pulse]'' Well, his vital signs seem to be okay. ''[opens Raph's eye]'' Pupil dilation is normal. ''[shocked]'' Whoa. ''[sees a stone star on Raph's shell]'' :'''Leo and Mikey:''' ''[stunned]'' Whoa. :'''Donnie:''' ''[pulls the stone star out of Raph's shell]'' Some sort of stone. Probably obsidian, I think. :'''Leo:''' Well, is he gonna be all right :'''Raph:''' ''[waking up; to Leonardo]'' Eh, you're still here? Go back to your jungle. :'''Leo:''' Well, at least his personality's still intact. :'''Donnie:''' And there's an engraving on it, looks... South American. That's your department, April. :'''Casey:''' ''[holding a sleeping dart]'' Would it help things if I told you that those statues you collected for that Winters guy were shooting these things at me and Raph? :'''April:''' ''[utterly horrified]'' "The Legend... of Yaotl"? It can't be. I-I-It was just a myth. A-A scary story the locals told kids around a campfire. :'''Leo:''' ''[confused]'' Whoa, what are you talking about? :'''April:''' They say... 3,000 years ago, some... great warrior actually found... a portal to another dimension. ''[camera fades to Yaotl]'' And when the portal opened, the energy from it gave the warrior ''eternal life''. But it also turned his generals to stone. What if this warrior just kept living forever? He would spend the rest of his days in regret, spending all of his riches and all of his power, trying to find a way to revive his stone generals. Maybe, just maybe, he's built a new empire. ''[camera pans to Winters' face, and he opens his eyes; fade back to April's apartment]'' But hey, like I said, it's just a myth. :'''Donnie:''' ''[examining the dart]'' Hmmm. If you ask me, you guys, this has Winters' name written all over it. :'''Leo:''' How do you figure that, Donnie? :'''Casey and Mikey:''' Yeah. :'''Donnie:''' ''[sarcastically smiling; annoyed]'' Because ''this'' has Winters' name ''written'' all over it. :'''Raph:''' Now I know who to thank for the shot in the arm. ''[sits down]'' So where do we find this guy and his stone jokers? :'''Leo:''' We're not going anywhere until we get Splinter's blessing. :'''Raph:''' ''[angrily stands up; shocked that Leo would ask for permission to deal with this new threat]'' You're gonna stand here and quote a rulebook to me that you ain't been following for a ''year?!'' :'''Leo:''' ''[not in the mood to argue]'' Look, Raph, if you got something you wanna get off you're shell, now's the time. ''[through gritted teeth; almost yelling]'' But I'm not gonna ''stand here'' and debate Splinter's direct ''orders with you''. :'''Raph:''' ''[pause; softly yet coldly]'' Fine, then. I quit. :'''Casey:''' Hey, Raph. Don't do it, man. Sometimes just taking a breather is the best thing to do. :'''Raph:''' Whatever. <hr width=50%/> :'''Leo:''' ''[after knocking off the Nightwatcher's helmet off]'' Good night, dark prince. ''[sees that the Nightwatcher is Raph; confused]'' Raph? ''[shocked and lost for words]'' What? :'''Raph:''' ''[mule-kicks Leo; finally releasing his pent-up anger]'' You are so smug, ya know that? You think that the world revolves around you, don't ya? That we couldn't possibly survive without the ''[Leo spits blood]'' mighty and powerful Leonardo to guide us through our problems, huh? Well, I got a news flash for ya. ''[voice trembling]'' We got along ''just fine'' without you! :'''Leo:''' ''[appalled]'' Oh, and ''this'' qualifies as "just fine"?! Dressing up like it's Halloween every night?! Risking the safety of our ''family''?! I mean, come on, what were you thinking?! :'''Raph:''' Don't push it, Leo. You can't leave home and come back expecting us to ''fall'' in line again, like your little soldiers. :'''Leo:''' Hey, ''I'' was training. Training to be a better leader, for ''you''! ''[grunts in frustration]'' Why do you hate me for that?! :'''Raph:''' And whoever said I wanted to be ''led''?! I'm better off calling my own shots, now get used to it. :'''Leo:''' ''You!'' Aren't! Ready! You're impatient, and hot-tempered, and more importantly, ''[venomously]'' I'm '''''better''''' than you. :'''Raph:''' ''[laughs sarcastically; deeply offended]'' Oh, ya know something, big brother? ''[serious tone]'' I'd have to disagree with you on ''that'' one. ''[pulls out his sais and makes a "bring it on" motion with them]'' :'''Leo:''' ''[softly but very sternly; not wanting to hurt Raph]'' Don't do this, Raph. :'''Raph:''' ''[defiantly]'' I'm done taking orders. <hr width=50%/> :'''Donnie:''' That would be the swirling vortex to another world, I assume. :'''Mikey:''' Cool. I want one. <hr width=50%/> :'''Raph:''' ''[hands Leo new katana blades to replace the broken ones]'' You're gonna need these if you're gonna lead us out of here. :'''Leo:''' ''[warmly]'' I'm going to need ''you'' too. :''[Winters screams as the stone Generals throw him across the lobby of the Winterscorp building.]'' :'''April:''' Winters? :'''Mikey:''' Looks more like fall, get it? :'''Donnie:''' Mikey, remember our talk. <hr width=50%/> :'''General Aguila:''' You fight well. You should join us. :'''Raph:''' No, thanks. I'm good. <hr width=50%/> :'''Leo:''' They better hurry up with the last monster! :'''Raph:''' I'm sure my man Casey's got it all under control! :'''Leo:''' Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. :''[scene switches to April driving the Cowabunga Carl truck]'' :'''Casey:''' Can't this piece of junk go any faster? :'''April:''' You wanna drive? :'''Casey:''' I would, as a matter of fact. :'''Karai:''' You would think they would be more concerned about the 13th monster. ''[Foot Ninja silently nods in agreement.]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Winters has just vaporized, due to the curse being broken. Golden particles fall to the floor.]'' :'''Mikey:''' ''[visibly unnerved]'' Okay, just a ''little'' bit creepy. ''[sneezes loudly]'' Oh, gross! I think he's in my n-- my n-- my n-- ''[sneezes again]'' Aw, gross. Somebody, give me a hankie! ''[disgusted groans]'' Now he's in my mouth.

And that's why we'll always be...brothers. ''[flies to the screen, as it cuts to black]'' Oh, I love bein' a turtle. == About ''TMNT (film)'' == * It looked amazing and was a fun thrill ride. But I think the story was too complicated in the final product.

The series corresponds with the second half for [[w:Masashi Kishimoto|Masashi Kishimoto]]'s manga series known as [[w:List of Naruto chapters (Part II)|Part II]]. The second part of the series follows the adolescence [[w:Naruto Uzumaki|Naruto Uzumaki]] attempting to rescue [[w:Sasuke Uchiha|Sasuke Uchiha]]. However, Naruto also deals with the [[w:Akatsuki|Akatsuki]], which is used by the masked ninja Tobi to carry out a plan about an epic war. {{unreferenced}} ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Asuma Sarutobi|Asuma Sarutobi]]== * ''[To Ino]'' Don't let Sakura surpass you, either...in love or Ninjutsu. * ''[In a flashback]'' And this is where I stop being in charge. From now on, each of you will become captains and lead your own teams. Don't ever forget we were once "Team 10!" * ''[Last words]'' I just want one last smoke... * ''[To his father's (The Third Hokage) grave]'' I'm sorry for leaving Konoha and doing all those things without much thought. * ...Now I'm glad I was born into the Sarutobi family. * ''[Facing the Third Hokage's grave]'' You were one heck of a dad. * ''[About Shikamaru]'' Shikamaru can think 10 steps ahead and consider 200 possible moves in a second. But his real strength is his knack for choosing the best one. * ''[To his students]'' These earrings are a present for you three. Congratulations! Don't ever forget that the four of us were Team 10! And don't forget, these earrings are also symbols that your respective clans now consider you adults. I think you already know how the earring ceremony goes. When you finally return your hoop earrings to your clansmen, that's the moment you grow up. Get to it! * ''[To Shikamaru]'' The kings...are the unborn children...who will grow up to take care of Konoha. One...is still in Kurenai's womb...her and my child. Take care of my king. * ''[To Choji]'' Stop crying and fight me, you worthless fatass! * That's what I want to see, Choji. That face...that's all you need to become stronger than anyone. A face brimming with confidence! * Finishing me off with my own weapon? I'm so moved, I can't move! * ''[To Shikamaru, Ino, Choji]'' Then let me add to them with something I couldn't say back then... I've got nothing more to say to you three. Your Ino-Shika-Chou formation was perfect! ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Chiyo|Chiyo]]== * I have too many regrets to die just yet. * And Sakura... do not risk your life for an old hag next time. Save what is important to you. * ''[To Naruto]'' I'm happy that someone like has you appeared in the world of shinobi that we foolish old people created. Everything I've ever done was a mistake. But now, at the end, it looks like I'll finally be able to do the right thing. The Sand and the Leaf.. ''[Looks up at the sky]'' Their future will be much different than the way things were back in my day. ''[Looks back down]'' That strange power of yours that Kakashi mentioned.. That power will have a strong influence on the future. Become a Hokage like none before you. * Naruto... a request from an old woman. You are the only one who knows Gaara's pain... Gaara also knows your pain. Please, save Gaara... * I'm retired now, I can do whatever I want! * Haha, I tricked you! I was only pretending to be dead. * Don't treat me like a old lady! * It's been a long time... Since I've seen my grandson * Youth... Is something that holds such possibilities. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Choji Akimichi|Choji Akimichi]]== * I'm not fat! I'm big boned! * Dad...you were protecting me... * I always thought that things would kind of just fall into place. I thought that when I got older, I'd get bigger and stronger, and my mind would be tougher. I thought the oath was just a stupid ceremony. * I solemnly swear that as sixteenth head of the Akimichi clan, I will defend the oath taken by the fifteenth generation, and raise the seventeenth to protect it. In order to protect both the Yamanaka and Nara clans, and to protect Konoha, I, Choji Akimichi, do hereby emerge from my cocoon as a fully grown butterfly...and take flight! * ''[To Shikamaru while coming to Naruto's aid during the war]'' Naruto's stupid and I'm fat...that was always the joke...but people aren't what they seem! ''[In thought]'' Wait for me, slightly-stupid Naruto! Slim Choji is coming to back you up! ==Choza Akimichi== * That's one down, Kakashi! * [''On Kakashi''] He already worked out what his opponent's ability was and set up a substitute clone. Kakashi's habits haven't changed since the last time I teamed up with him. He's full of clever tricks, as usual. * Don't get soft on me, Choji! You're a sixteenth generation Akimichi. Act like it! * The mark on the right is the Akimichi clan's symbol, see? Let's see...the centre one's the Nara clan's, and the left is the Yamanaka's. We've each mastered some very rare secret ninja techniques. They have a special relationship; our three clans have teamed up and worked together for generations. To strengthen our unity, it's tradition that the Sarutobi gave us gifts of special earrings that we present to each generation when they swear their oaths. (...) It's so we never forget the oath we take. The earring's always there, whispering it into our ear. You're going to have to get pierced too someday. You'll wear my earring from the day you become a genin to the day you become a chuunin. * [''After giving Choji his earrings''] You're a man now, son. Someday, you'll have your own children to raise and protect, and loan these new earrings with your oath in them. * You know how Asuma's always telling you you're lacking something, Choji? It's ''confidence!'' Look at your old man! ''I'' got married, didn't I? * Choji! You grew wings without taking the pills! * [''To Shikamaru''] Sorry Choji's been such a pain to deal with. But that's all over. He's now worthy of being the sixteenth head of the Akimichi. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Danzo|Danzo Shimura]]== * ''[To Sai]'' Don’t use a fake smile like that in front of me. * ''[Speaking of Sandaime Hokage]'' That old man was always afraid of getting into disputes and making decisions. * Emotion leads one to hate… and hate leads one to conflict and war. * The princess did become Hokage after all. With Katsuyu's techniques, she'll be able to prevent total annihilation... but there will still be some causalities. Those are a necessary sacrifice for us. In order for me to become Hokage. * ''[Last Words, while thinking about Third Hokage]'' You are the leaves bathing in the sun, I... am the roots that grow in the dark. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Deidara|Deidara]]== <span id="Deidara"></span> * True art is an explosion! * I gotta say, this village's design is pretty artistic. Means it's really worth destroying. * "Thing"? Philistine! Some people wouldn't know true art if it bit them on the face. * Look at those fools. They have no appreciation for art. You have to feel art. And true art...is an EXPLOSION!" * ''[To Gaara]'' It'll be troublesome to be attacked from below. Plus... I'm tired of looking at your expressionless face! * ''[About Gaara]'' Snaring you alive was rough, but this is one more we can scratch off our list. * If an artist doesn't get high levels of inspiration, his sentiments are dulled... * That explosive power is my masterpiece * (about Naruto) There's no mistake. He's the Jinchuriki. The one who bursts in and starts barking. Itachi actually described him quite accurately. * ''[To Naruto]'' Better listen to your sensei, kid. ''[knocks on Gaara's face]'' This guy's been dead for a while, now. * ''[To Naruto]'' You're a odd Jinchuriki, aren't ya? * My man Sasori was beaten by that little brat, and the old hag. Leaving a thing of eternal beauty for the future? Yeah, right. All he did was get killed. He was overconfident about that puppet; the old fool exposed his weakness. Oh well, it's still an ending worthy of an art. * Death by suffocation! ''[Deidara throws his legs around Tobi's neck]'' * ''[About Sasuke]'' You were only able to kill Orochimaru thanks to Uchiha blood .... hmmm? You've just blessed with good genes... so quit acting so smug! * Art is something that blossoms for an instant before withering away. Art is beauty that last for just a moment. To me, the essence of art is... AN EXPLOSION! * ''[About Sasuke]'' Oh, such malice! I like these eyes of his, Tobi! Hmm! * Life's only beautiful because it's so fleeting, so transient. * ''[To Tobi]'' If I had to keep my patience with you in a bag, it’d be bursting at the seams! Say another word and I’ll make you wish you were never born! * ''[To Tobi after defeating the Three-Tailed Beast]'' You wouldn’t have gotten anywhere without the artistic contribution of my explosive clay… it’s my art that deserves the praise here, uhn! * ''[Last words]'' Cower in awe! Recoil in despair! Cry your heart out! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION! * UHN! * ''[Dragging Three-Tailed Beast]'' ...Hey Tobi, I said not to be overly talkative, but that's too quiet...a reply would be...''(Sees Tobi asleep, glares and explodes clay beside Tobi)'' Hey asshole, time to wake the hell up! Hmm! ==[[w:Gaara|Gaara]]== * ''(Referring to Deidara's clay bird)'' There are no birds like that in the desert. * ''(To Ohnoki)'' When did you all forsake yourselves. * [ Gaara's Speech before departing for the Fourth Shinobi War] "Three times now... We've fought world wars for our own nations, our own villages. We've hurt one another. We've hated one another. That hatred bred a lust for power, and that lust for power created ME. I was a Jinchuuriki, the embodiment of hatred and power. And I hated this world, and all the people in it... I wanted to destroy it with my own hands. The exact same thing Akatsuki is trying to do today. But one man, one ninja from Konoha stopped me. [Remembering Uzumaki Naruto's words]. I was his enemy, yet he wept for me! I hurt him, yet he called me his friend! He saved me! My enemy, my fellow Jinchuuriki... He suffered the same pain as me, yet bore no ill will! There are no enemies here because we've all suffered at Akatsuki's hand! SO THERE IS NO SAND, NO STONE, NO LEAF, NO MIST, NO CLOUD! THERE ARE ONLY SHINOBI! And if you still hold a grudge against the Sand, then when this war is over, come and take my head instead! Our enemies are after the friend who saved my life! If they take him, if we hand him over, our world is finished! I want to protect him, and I want to protect our world! But I'm too young to protect it all on my own! All of you lend me your aid!" * [To Tobi] "Peace under an illusion is not true peace. It's only meaningful if the real world manages to accomplish it." * "For the sake of the ninja world and as the Kazekage, I will guard you with my life." * [To Naruto in Land of Iron] "If you're truly prepared to take up the mantle of a Kage, then as Sasuke's friend, you know what you have to do." * [To Tobi] "We won't give up hope." * [To Naruto] "Naruto… Just so you know, there will be a war to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails… in other words you. For the sake of the ninja world and as the Kazekage, I will guard you with my life. If as a member of Akatsuki, Sasuke Uchiha stands in the way of the ninja coalition… I will show him no mercy." * [To Naruto in Land of Iron] "I think of you as a friend. I used to think "friend" was just another word… Nothing more, nothing less. But when I met you, I realised what was important was the word's meaning." * [To Tsunade about hiding Naruto] "I know him well. He takes too many risks when it comes to his friends… that's why." * [To Kankurō, when he asked about how Konoha will overcome Pain's destruction] "He was the one who taught me to deepen my bond with my people. Thanks to him, I was able to regain my true self. That village has him, the one who cherishes a friend's bond more than anyone I know. Naruto Uzumaki…. Knowing him and the friends he holds so dear, they will overcome this disaster and grow even stronger from it." * [To his father about Shukaku] "Gone forever! I'm no longer the jinchūriki you created!" * [To his father] "…Mother definitely was amazing… but, this is the first time you've ever given me "medicine", father…" ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Hidan|Hidan]]== <span id="Hidan"></span> * My attacks are the slowest in Akatsuki and the least skilled, so I just can’t hit anything, seriously. * You know, this assignment we’ve been given really doesn’t mix well with my beliefs. Carnage is the key precept of the faith of Jashin… the dogma doesn’t let me leave someone ''half'' dead. * Tsk! Right after the verbal abuse. Man, Kakuzu, you really stink! * Everything is prepared! Get ready, this is gonna hurt! * As the other dies, their agony radiates through my body, and living through it is pure ecstasy! * Now! Let's savour the utmost of suffering together! * (After using his curse to fatally wound Asuma) Oh yeah, that hit the spot. * ''Au revoir'', shitheads! * How do you feel, knowing that you are fighting an immortal guy? * I know it's annoying, but it's my religion! * Jashin, please watch over me, this time, I am really going to do it, I am going to tear their intestines out... * You... you little shit, When I get out I am going to tear you to threads, and then burn you to ashes, and then grind you to dust! * Attacking the vitals is such a waste, this pain is what is best, where do you want it next? Or should I just end it now? * DUDE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THIS FREAKIN' HURTS? * Finally you'll taste that pain... the pain that will kill you! * [to Pain] Can't you freakin' wait a bit? It's just getting to the good part... seriously! * I should curse that leader next time! * ''[To Asuma]'' You cut my goddamned head off! This's like, hyper-mega-ultra pain! * ''[Asking Kakuzu to bring his body over]'' Kakuzu-chan, pretty please? With sugar on top? * You can't just go around getting killed outta nowhere. Man, you suck! * (To Shikamaru) "Does your village bury their dead? 'Cause it's gonna be a pain digging him up." * (To Shikamaru before being buried alive): Don't say I didn't warn you! The day of retribution will come, and the Way of Jashin will punish you! Yes, and then I'll be the one passing judgment! My teeth, that's all I'll need; you'll see! And I'll tear you to pieces! ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Hinata Hyuga|Hinata Hyuga]]== * ''[To Pain while protecting Naruto]'' I wouldn't let you lay a finger on Naruto-kun! * ''[Protecting Naruto from Pain]'' I'm here because I want to be. I've always cry and give up right away... always getting it wrong... Until you, Naruto-kun, showed me the right path to follow. I'd chased you forever... always wishing that someday I would catch up, always dreaming that we would walk side by side...Always trying to make it to where you were. You changed me! Your smile saved me from who I was! I'm not afraid to protect you, even if I die doing so! Because... I love you, Naruto-kun... * ''[In her mind while running to Naruto's aid during the war]'' Naruto-kun...I've always...always been chasing after you...even...now. But...once this war ends, I'm going to stop once and for all. Next time, I'll be next to you, holding your hand...walking ''with'' you! Wait for me! Obito Has become the ten tails Jinchuriki. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Ino Yamanaka|Ino Yamanaka]]== * ''[After Shikamaru tells her that "a weird guy"(Sai) attacked]'' A weird guy?...like Naruto?

You conveyed Naruto's powerful feelings to everyone...I have to make sure that foretelling...comes true! ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Itachi Uchiha|Itachi Uchiha]]== <span id="Itachi Uchiha"></span> * ''[During a flashback]'' You can also activate the Mangekyou Sharingan as I did. But, there is one condition. You must kill...your closest friend. * ''[Referring to Naruto]'' He's definitely improved skills. But...it's still not enough. * The Hidden Mist Jutsu... Certainly a good choice to make using Genjutsu more difficult. But before my Sharingan, techniques like this are meaningless. * ''[Answering Kisame]'' Sasuke is not dead. And besides, the storm has passed. * Show yourself, Naruto Uzumaki... * [To Naruto] You’re already trapped in my illusion. * [To Naruto] ...You’re such a child. You talk of nothing but pipe dreams… there are times when a ninja must make painful choices. * [About Naruto to Deidara and Sasori] ...He's the one who bursts in... And barks first. * [To Sasuke] Did you get a little taller? * [To Sasuke] Tell me, Sasuke. What does your Sharingan see? * [To Sasuke] You see me...dead? Well then... ''[Itachi appears behind him]'' Let's see how good your eyesight is. * ...Every human being relies on and is bounded by his knowledge and experience to live. This is what we call "reality". However, knowledge and experience are ambiguous, thus reality can become illusion. Is it not possible to think that, all human beings are living in their assumptions? * The Mangekyou Sharingan has a very unique characteristic... From the day you awaken it, your eyes begin a slow descent into darkness. The more you use them, the quicker the process moves... Eventually, the kaleidoscope will lose its light. * You were my spare! For decades, the Uchiha's killed their friends to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan...and killed their siblings to make its power permanent! Our clan was tainted because they couldn't stop flaunting their power! Your fate was trenched in blood since the day you were born an Uchiha! Now face me, my little brother! Once I kill you, I'll be transformed... I'll be freed from this wretched clan's destiny! * I'm sorry, Sasuke... this is my reality. The light will not leave my world. * [To Sasuke] During my Tsukuyomi, you saw an illusion of me ripping your eyes out of their sockets...I will make that ''dream'' a reality. * Sasuke... Are you finally out of techniques? If you've got any more moves up your sleeve... I suggest you stop trying to use them... Now the real fight begins. * [To Sasuke] Your eyes belong to me now...I'll take them slowly...I want to savor this. * [Last words, to Sasuke] I'm sorry, Sasuke.. ''[Pokes Sasuke's forehead]'' There won't be a next time. * [During a flashback] As a hurdle you must overcome, I'll always be there for you. Even if you hate me...that's what being a big brother is. * [To Kisame] We are humans, not fish. We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realize what you are. That is what death is, don't you think? * I'm counting on you to take care of Sasuke. ''[Naruto responds]'' That was my plan! ''[Itachi, replies]'' I was right to trust in you after all.. * [About Shisui's teachings to him] Self-sacrifice... A nameless shinobi who protects peace from within its shadow. That is a true shinobi. Shisui taught me that. * ''[To Naruto]'' You have certainly become stronger... You gained power but you seem to be forgetting something very important... Listen and Remember. The reason the people of the village who used to hate you.. Started to to admire you and consider you their comrade is that you've always worked hard because you wanted to be acknowledged by them... * ''[To Naruto]'' If now that you are more powerful you start to forget about others, to be arrogant and to be attached to your ego. One day you will become just like Madara. No matter how powerful you become, never try to shoulder everything alone. Otherwise you will undoubtedly fail. * ''[To Naruto]'' Your dream was your father's dream, wasn't it? Remember this well then. The village did not acknowledge him because he became Hokage. He became Hokage because the village acknowledged him. Don't forget your friends. * "(To Sasuke)" I don't think something like perfection exists. That is why I think we are born able to absorb things and by comparing ourselves with something else, we can finally head in a good direction. *[Last words to Sasuke after fading away] You never have to forgive me... No matter what you become...I will always love you. *[Upon joining the party] Hey. ==[[w:Jiraiya (Naruto)|Jiraiya]]== <span id="Jiraiya"></span> * You don't understand a woman's heart at all... * ''[To Naruto]'' A good teacher will develop good disciple.. * Looks like you've trained another 'Tsunade'. * It's time to unveil my latest masterpiece novel! It's been a good three years since I released the famous novel "Make Out Paradise"! This is the greatest creation from my soul! It will make you lose track of time, forget to breathe, and even forget who you are! It's "Make Out Tactics"! * ''[About Naruto]'' I have to admit, I've come to think of him as my own grandson... * I can’t believe flat little Tsunade grew such massive boobs and became Hokage! Times sure do change… even you, beautiful as you were, are a 50 year-old bag now. It saddens me to think how your love for those you have lost to death stays inside those jugs of yours… if that’s the case, they’ll probably get even bigger. * Now my job is to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I will gladly put my life on the line, and I’ll be smiling the whole time. It’s about the only cool thing old farts like me can do. * Getting dumped always makes a man stronger. And if he hasn’t experienced it enough to be able to laugh and joke about it, or at least use it as material, he can’t fulfill his duties as a man. * Men aren’t meant to pursue happiness. * Why do all of you have the Rinnegan? * ''[To Pain]'' Are you Nagato ..or Yahiko? * ''(sigh)'' ...You never change, do you Tsunade? * Flooded with anger, I cry tears of blood! The hermit of the legendary sennin! The toad sage of the mysterious Myoboku Mountain! The great Jiraiyaaaaaah! * You can never overestimate your opponent enough, no matter who he is. I taught you that a long time ago, Nagato… * ''[After he believes he has defeated Pain]'' Nagato... you have made a mistake in your role ''[reflects on teaching him]'' Instead of guiding the world with pain, you should overcome the pain with your strength. That is what I hoped you would accomplish ''[Reflects on the Toad Sage predicting his training the "destined child"]'' Though only for a little while... I believed in you. Farewell... * ''[Final thoughts]'' I guess it's finally time to put down my pen... Oops.. right... I need a title for the next book... let's see... ah, got it... "The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki". Perfect. * The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. It's not what they do in life, but what they did before dying that proves their worth... * The most important thing of a shinobi to have is the spirit and the guts to never give up. * Never give up thats the choice I had to make! Naruto... You're the "Destined Child"... I know it. The rest is up to you! * The student's ninja way should be the master's too. Right Naruto? * ''[In a flashback]'' I believe that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another! * ''[In a flashback]'' Being hurt inevitably breeds feelings of hatred towards your attacker. But when we hurt others, we have to deal with their hatred for us, and our own feelings of guilt. But knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others. That’s what makes us human. * ''[In a letter]'' Tsunade, a person grows up when he's able to overcome hardships. Protection is important, but there are some things that a person must learn on his own. * ''[reflecting on his life]'' A tale is only as good as its final events, the plot twist. And mistakes are an important part of the plot too! I lived my life believing my lessons are what honed me. In return... I swore to accomplish a deed so great it would obliterate all my past failures... and die a splendid shinobi! * ''[to younger kakashi]'' you know people should talk to others everyday even if its a small talk otherwise their hearts will grow dark and serious.Talking to others builds bonds, and makes you feel grateful that you're alive. That's the kind of creatures we humans are * ''[Jiraiya - most powerful ninja]'' Jiraiya's life as a wanderer did not him, one of Konoha's most powerful ninja. Even when he had nothing to rely on, he still maintained his good spirit and reliability. He was responsible for bringing back Tsunade, which one day would became the fifth Hokage. He sacrificed everything to protect his village & Naruto, his protégée. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Jugo|Jugo]]== * You're being reckless, Suigetsu. * Someone’s here… boy or girl? A guy… if it’s a guy, I’ll kill him. Jackpot! You’re dead! * Kill… I wanna kill… someone… anyone… * Kimimaro said Sasuke was like his reincarnation... and sacrificed himself to protect him. ''[to Sasuke]'' I want to see what kind of shinobi you really are. * ''[To Sasuke]'' I can't let you die. You're all I have left to remember Kimimaro. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Kabuto Yakushi|Kabuto Yakushi]]== <span id="Kabuto Yakushi"></span> * All I fell prey to was Lord Orochimaru’s magnificent way of thinking. * You should know what it's like, Naruto, the pain of not having a true identity. Are you Naruto Uzumaki, or the Nine-tails? Had you ever wondered "What am I? ''Who'' am I?" when others stared at you with cold, hate-filled eyes? * With Lord Orochimaru now integrated into this body, I plan on finding a new me. One stronger than Lord Orochimaru himself! * Not having things in proper order annoys me to no end... * ''[To Sasuke]'' Which one... are you? * ''[To Sasuke]'' As always, you forget to mind your mouth in front of Lord Orochimaru... * ''[To Naruto]'' But you.. You chose to believe in your own power. That you are Naruto Uzumaki. With great persistence, you overcame the gazes directed at the Nine-Tails, and that's why you came to know your identity, gaining friends along with that realization. * Lord Orochimaru immediately tried to acquire that power... but... he didn't yet possess a body that could tolerate it... That's why he couldn't become the Sage that I have become! * ''[To Itachi and Sasuke]'' As I recall, you brothers hated each other...And now you plan to fight me side by side...Interesting! * ''[To Itachi and Sasuke]'' Go on! Tremble before my power! The power of a Sage! * ''[To Itachi after commenting his serpentine Sage Mode]'' Snake? I am no longer a snake. With these perfect Sage powers, I've shed my snake skin... and become a dragon! * I have every ability there is! No one can touch me! Your fate was already in my hands. * ''[To Itachi]'' My name is a code... My glasses are a tool... I've been no one... from the start. From the very start... I had nothing. * ''[To Itachi]'' A genius that had everything will never understand... I just want to become myself. ==[[w:Kakashi Hatake|Kakashi Hatake]]== <span id="Kakashi Hatake"></span> * Hey! My bad, my bad! Actually, on my way here, I saw an old woman who needed help... * Back then, we had Sasuke with us... ''[Naruto and Sakura each go through a flashback of before Sasuke left Konoha, then fall to the ground in sadness.]'' ''[Kakashi sweatdrops]'' Sasuke's name is a taboo among these two. * My, you guys have certainly become stronger. * ''[Holds up the bells he used during Team 7's first practice mission]'' Well, I'm going to see how much you two have improved. You haven't given up on Sasuke, right? * You've matured, Naruto. But... it looks like you're as impatient as ever. I haven't even said start yet. * What insane strength. The Fifth has been teaching Sakura more than just medical ninjutsu... * Naruto has a mysterious power... even without saying much he can become friends with anyone quickly. * ...Can't say I'm used to hearing you whine...this isn't like you at all. What happened to the Naruto Uzumaki I used to know? * ''[to Naruto]'' You're the only shinobi able to surpass the Yondaime Hokage. That's what I believe. * ''[to Kakuzu]'' You got matched with the wrong guy. Now it ends! * The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It’s one of the neverending cycles in life. * ''[to Naruto]'' The bigger the jutsu, the bigger the risk it places on the user. Keep that in mind. * ''[On leaving Naruto behind to help Shikamaru]'' What do you mean... I'm not of any use any more as far as he's concerned. * While I'd like to act cool and say, "You go on ahead", I won't be able to hold him off by myself. * ''[After Pain asks where Naruto is]'' That's a stupid question. *''[After barely dodging Naruto's 'A Thousand Years of Death']'' That would have been the end for me, it more ways than one. *''[On Naruto]'' Jutsu that were beyond the Fourth Hokage are well within his command. I guess it's time to pass the torch... he has surpassed me. *''[Thinking]'' Can you sense it? You are always before his eyes... inspiring him. You make him strong, you do know that... don't you, Sasuke? * ''[About Naruto and Sakura]'' I miss the cute students who'd react to every little thing I say. * ''[On Kankuro]'' Making a success from a failure.. You are indeed a shinobi of the sand. * ''[When trapped in before Pain]'' You can cry later, Choji. If you can still move...tell Tsunade...about Pain's powers. You have to figure out a way to fight him. Save your surprise for later. You have to tell her about Pain. Run! Don't let Choza's sacrifice have been for nothing! * With my current chakra level, his whole body is out of the question. And if I use Kamui again, that'll be the last of my stamina and my chakra, and without a doubt...I'll die! But right now, I have to entrust the living with this info. That's the best thing I can do right now to save Konoha! * Obito...looks like this is as long as I'll be able to be your eyes. I wasn't able to protect Rin. I broke my promise to you...forgive me. Obito...Rin...Sensei...I'll..be there soon. * [''To Sasuke at Kage Summit Bridge''] Sasuke...there's more to you than just your clan...more than just hatred. Take another look...deep inside your heart. *''[When faced with the prospect of having to kill Sasuke]'' No matter how far Orochimaru fell, he still loved him... Now I know how the Third Hokage felt. * I also have important things that I want to protect, as a shinobi. * Look. It takes a lot to get me worked up, but this time my boiling point is as low as it's ever been. The Copy Ninja Kakashi, the man who copied one thousand techniques, is about to go on a rampage! * ''[When naruto and sasuke were struggling to get the tailed beasts out of Obito]'' Even if it's someone they used to make fun of, when people see someone trying twice as hard as others they instinctively start wanting to lend a hand, that's because people eventually learn that they only have each other to fill the holes in their hearts. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Kakuzu|Kakuzu]]== * The only thing you can count on is money. * ''[To Hidan]'' I paired with you because you said that religion would be a good source of money… I have to manage Akatsuki’s finances, why don’t you try wearing my shoes for a moment? * Another 35 million of ryo. Excellent. * Even in Hell, money takes precedence. * It was over the moment you thought you had my abilities figured out. See, unlike my partner, I actually think. Even if you analyze every aspect of the battle, things don't always go as you plan. * There is just too much of a difference in battle experience between you and me. Looking at your forehead protector reminds me of the very first Konoha shinobi I fought... Shodai Hokage, that is! * Kakashi... I'm going to replace the heart you took out with yours! * ''[To Shikamaru]'' You're pretty clever, unlike this idiot of a partner... ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Kankuro|Kankuro]]== * ''(An elder talks down on Gaara)'' Say that to my face! I dare you! * Gaara will never harm the villagers. No matter what. * It doesn't matter whether you're a Chunin or not. * Elder Chiyo used ''that'' technique... * Sasori. Your strength came ''because'' of your soul, not in spite of it. You tried to erase it, to become a puppet yourself, but you couldn't change completely. I know this because you put your heart and soul into the puppets you created. ''That's'' the part of them that never decays. Now you've got your immortal body, but you've fallen, sunk to the level of the puppets you used to control. You were supposed to be a top-class ninja puppeteer, not a worthless nobody who lets someone else pull the strings! ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Karin|Karin]]== * I sense a whole lot of Chakra nearby! * ''[To Suigetsu]'' What the hell are you, a kappa? Get up off your ass and stop drinking all that water! * ''[Thinking]'' Yes! I finally have Sasuke all to myself! * Come on! Bite me, Sasuke! Hurry! * [''In thought, as Sasuke was about to kill her''] I wish I could see your face again as it was Sasuke... * ''[Talking about Naruto]'' He's... like the exact opposite of Sasuke. Even his chakra... it's warm and bright. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Kiba Inuzuka|Kiba Inuzuka]]== * You've really grown, Naruto. * My nose has become stronger than any ninja hound's. * ''[on the mission to retrieve Sasuke]'' You weren't with us last time, Shino! You'd better work twice as hard! * You can't hide from my nose, loser! *''[Talking about Naruto]'' You still shouldn't have just let him get away. You're already a legend for defeating Pain. Sasuke should be no problem. *''[In his mind while running to Naruto's aid during the war]'' Naruto...I marked you a long, long time ago...as my rival! Take care of Madara 'till I get there! ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Killer bee|Killer Bee]]== * The sun’s killer on my eyes. Is it noon already?

And sting like a bee! ‘Cause I’m the Eight-tailed Beast. * In order to break the illusion, I need a partner who can disturb my chakra and snap me out of it. My partner is the beast inside me. Illusions won’t work on a host who can control their beast. * When I transform into my true form, a beast you must meet, yeah. Cower before the power of the beast. * The only one who gets to interrupt me is me. *[Rapping about a chakra sensor] Yeah, I saw it! Not two, not triple.

But from here, it looks like you're crying. * ''[mistakenly believing that Sasuke is dead]'' It's certainly a shame about your little brother. You're now the sole member of the Uchiha clan. * ''[to Gai]'' You really have a talent of getting on people's nerves. I suppose I'll toy with you until you remember. * I take back what I said. You have the brain of an ''insect'', not a beast. * The ability to turn a gloomy organization cheerful, Tobi was a skilled man at that. * Sasuke, if you would please continue on by yourself... Itachi would prefer that the rest of us stay here. * I will enjoy shaving a few layers off you. * I knew that from the first time I had to kill my comrades...kill a Kirigakure ninja as a Kirigakure ninja. What does that make me? Am I a friend or foe? What is my purpose and my position? Where do I go? Where ''can'' I go? I'm well aware that my whole life has been one giant lie. * ''[To Itachi]]'' Sharks start out as eggs, but incubate and hatch in the womb. Sometimes, the number of pups is less than the number of eggs that were fertilised. Do you know why? ''Cannibalism.'' The pups start eating each other within the mother's womb the moment they hatch. They start killing their siblings the moment they enter the world, viewing everything they see as nothing more than prey. As of today, you and I are fellow members of Akatsuki. So be careful...of ''me''. * Itachi. It seems in the end...I'm not so terrible after all. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Konan|Konan]]== * [To Jiraiya] That time, you should have listened to what Orochimaru said, but you saved us instead. Now, it's too late, as we have embraced his ideals. * ''[after hearing of Naruto's strength]'' Spare us your words of fear and warning. They are wasted on us. Pain has never yet lost a battle. * The sky cries again… Pain… you… * ''[To Jiraiya]'' I must kill you. That is the will of god. * If you kill Nagato and get your revenge, that won't change anything. It'll only make you feel better. * ''[On Naruto]'' Such a strange child, to have changed Nagato completely. * You try to find meaning in death.. But there's only pain and hatred that you don't know what to do with it. * [To Yahiko and Nagato] Yahiko and Nagato, I will be the support that holds both our bridges up. * [To Naruto] Nagato believed in you, so I believe in you, too. *[To Naruto] This time, I hope for you that these will be the flowers of hope that will never die. * [To Madara] I knew you'd come and find me eventually. I've been waiting for my chance to destroy you. * [On Naruto] He is light personified. That's why everyone he meets carries the flower called '''hope'''! * [To Tobi] One question, Madara; do you understand why we betrayed you? Because you are '''darkness''', a world without light where flowers can only wither and die! *[To Tobi] Yahiko and Nagato's will hasn't vanished from this world! I believe in Naruto too!

Most of all...if I were to imagine myself alive, and our future as a family of three...I can't see us being anything but happy...and if I were allowed...just one regret...I wish that I could have seen Naruto grow up... *[''To Minato about sealing baby Naruto''] He's our son. Which is exactly why, I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden! Why?..Why the Reaper Death Seal?! There's no need for you to die...just so I can meet the grown-up Naruto in a short amount of time...! I rather for you to have stayed with Naruto and watched him grow up! So why does Naruto have to be sacrificed...for the Biju balance, for the country, and for the village...?! Why do you have to sacrifice yourself for my sake?! * [''Words of advice to baby Naruto''] Naruto...don't be a picky eater, eat alot and grow big and strong! Take your bath everyday...go to bed early and sleep well. Study hard on your Ninjutsu...I was never very good at it...maybe you will...everyone is good at some things and not so good at others...and if things don't go so well...don't get so depressed. At the academy, listen to your teachers. Make friends! It doesn't matter how many...just make sure that they're people you can really trust....and a few is enough! Regarding the Three Prohibitions of the shinobi, be careful when you loan and borrow money, make sure to save your missions pay carefully, and no drinking alcohol until your 20...too much sake is harmful for your body. As for girls...well...I'm a girl so I don't really know what to say...but sooner or later, you'll want a girlfriend and that's normal...just...don't fall for a strange one...try to find someone...like ''me''. Oh...one more thing...watch out for Jiraiya-sensei...dattebane! *[''Final words to baby Naruto''] Naruto...there's going to be hard and painful times ahead...take good care of yourself...! Find a goal...a dream...and don't stop trying until it comes true![''Crying''] There's...there's...there's so much more I want to tell you...to teach you...I want to stay with you longer...I love you. *[''To Naruto, before disappearing in the light''] Naruto...thank you for letting me be you mother...and Minato for being your father...thank you...for being born to us! * [''To the Nine tails during the beast's flashback''] Neither of us has any luck, do we? You keep the world at bay...but I keep ''you'' at bay. ==Madara Uchiha== * ''[to Kurama]''Nine-Tails, you are merely a momentary life, a temporary existence of coalesced energy… energy that once part of single, ultimate form! An unstable force, lacking in intelligence or sapience, you require one to give you purpose. This one of the Uchiha! The tailed beasts are but slaves to those with blessed eyes. Now obey! *''[to Obito]'' Know this, where there is light in this world, there is also shadow. As long as there are victors, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of desiring peace causes wars and hatred is born from protecting love. *''[To Obito]'' I taught you that in order to control people, you need to use the darkness in their hearts. And if there's no darkness, then you just create it. ==Manda== <span id="Manda"></span> * ''[last words, to Sasuke]'' I... You used... Me... You... Brat... Those eyes... With those eyes... I... was manipulated... How dare you... how dare you... ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Might Guy|Might Guy]]== * One thing's for sure... ''(referring to Kisame clone)'' I have no clue who he was... * ''[fighting his double]'' As expected of myself... * Oh, I'm just fine! I'm a really fast healer! Hahahah-- ''[hits his head on a tree branch]'' * [after Guy and Lee race back to Konoha] "My dear Lee, you did not come in second place, you came in third. I was carrying Kakashi so he came in second... you are a pretty lucky guy, Kakashi." * He was a worthy opponent, a man who lived and died like a real shinobi. Kisame Hoshigaki. I'll remember that name for the rest of my life. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Minato Namikaze|Minato Namikaze]]== * Each chapter really seems like a page out of your own life, sensei. It almost reads like an autobiography. * We want to raise our child to be a shinobi like the one in your book! That's why we've decided to name him after the main character in your book. * You're a man of true skill... An example we should all follow. I can't think of a finer shinobi than you. * The way the protagonist refused to give up, even at the end... that was really cool. He's just like you, sensei. * ''[Appearing in Naruto's mind after release of the 8th Tail]'' I prayed I'd never see your face again, demon fox. But even in these circumstances, meeting my grown-up son is something of a pleasure. We'll call it even. * ''[To Nine-tailed fox]'' Saying your going to rip me to shreds isn't going to make me come closer to you. * Trying to save the things we love breeds war. As long as love exists, there will be hatred, and ninjas will be continue being used by that hatred. As long as the ninja system exists, the hatred will create another creature like Pain. * To be a ninja is to confront hatred. * I have faith in you, Naruto. * [''To Kushina about sealing Baby Naruto''] Turning your back on the village and the country...is just as bad as abandoning a child. Kushina...you should understand...you saw your own country fall apart. You know the pain of growing up without a home of your own...and you know that we ''are'' a family...of ''Shinobi!'' Besides, even if I lived...I could never substitute for you. There are things Naruto needs to be told, things that I could never say myself. That's the mother's job to carry it out...even if you have the shortest amount of time to do so. I'm not doing this just for you...I'm doing this for Naruto. Dying to make his child have a better life...that's the father's job. * [''Final words to baby Naruto''] Naruto...my words to you as your father...[''Smiling''] listen to your motor-mouthed mom. ==[[w:Naruto Uzumaki|Naruto Uzumaki]]== <span id="Naruto Uzumaki"></span> * This brings back memories! This place hasn't changed at all! Everyone, Naruto Uzumaki has returned! * Dattebayo! * Believe It! * ''[to Konohamaru about the sexy jutsu]'' Konohamaru, sorry, but I'm not a kid anymore. From now on, you shouldn't use that jutsu either. It's beneath you. ''[Sakura starts thinking he has grown up]'' That jutsu is too weak, Konohamaru! Behold! The new Harem Jutsu I've been developing! * Pervy Sage was merciless! He worked me so hard, the forehead protector you gave me fell apart. And all my clothes got so ratty, I had to get a new outfit. * There's no need to hide it...The Kyuubi is sealed inside of me. ''[Clutches heart]'' Gaara and I are the same... We both have monsters locked inside us. That's what those guys are after. I... '''HATE IT!''' They just see us as monsters! As means to an end! He was just like I was and he fought all on his own a lot longer than I did. He's been targeted by the Akatsuki! We're the same, again! And despite that... Why does everything bad always have to happen to him?! It's always him! That's why... That's why I can't waste a second! This time, I want to save him as fast as I can! * [losing control of the Nine Tails] Give Sasuke back...! You give him back...! * [before slowly becoming insane] You don't own him...! Sasuke doesn't belong to you...! Don't you talk about Sasuke, like you own him...! Especially in front of me, '''YOU ROTTEN BASTARD!''' * Where are you? Where are you? Sasuke! * If so, then why...? Why didn't you kill me then?! Isn't that your way of breaking bonds?! Sasuke! * How can I become Hokage if can't even save one of my friends? What do you think, Sasuke? * ''[yelling at Chiyo]'' If you Sand Shinobi hadn't put that monster in him, none of this would be happening! You have no idea what kind of pain he went through... The suffering and torment he experienced. You have no right to judge us... To brand us and think you're better. * ''[To Sai]'' That's it! I will ''never'' accept you; Not as a friend, not as a comrade, and not as a member of Team Seven! * I couldn't save Sasuke... I couldn't save Gaara... I've trained for three years and nothing's changed! * ''[To Sai]'' Haven't you ever heard of the word "Friend?" * ''[To Orochimaru]'' In my presence, don’t you dare talk of Sasuke as though he belongs to you! * Everything here is so nostalgic. Hm? ''[Looks at the mountain encarved with the faces of the Hokages]'' They added Granny Tsunade's old mug to the mountain! * [To Sai about Sakura] She loves Sasuke so much. * Fights aren’t decided ‘til the very end, and we’re just getting started! * Just how long does Kakashi-sensei plan on making us wait?! * You aren't going to fight while reading a book this time, Kakashi-sensei? * ''[To Itachi]'' Sasuke is like a brother to me... More of one than you ever were to him! * ''[Seeing Deidara sitting on dead Gaara]'' '''YOU! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!''' * I meant "wind" is the only thing that can keep a "fire" from dying away and turn it into an even bigger power. * ''[On attacking Kakuzu with his new technique]'' It's true that teamwork is important...and I know that, but I want to cross this dangerous bridge myself. If I can't get to the other side, I'll stay a kid forever. ''[Sasuke's face appears in his mind]'' Please don't take that bridge away. * ''[Attacks Tobi]'' Get out of our way! * ''[Threatening Deidara after Gaara's death]'' I'll kick the crud out of you! * Way back, I used to hate Sasuke... But once I got used to being with him I realized he's really a lot of fun... to be around...he's the person that, more than anyone else accepted me and my existence. Sasuke is my friend... and he represents bonds that I waited so long to receive, so that's why... * It doesn't matter how strong my opponent is. If he tears off my arms, I'll just kick him dead. If he tears off my legs, I'll bite him dead. If he tears off my head, I'll stare him dead. If he gouges out my eyes, then I'll curse him dead! Even if I get chopped into pieces, I'm gonna beat Orochimaru and take my friend, Sasuke, back once and for all! * ''[To Zetsu]'' YO, ALOE VERA! WHERE'S SASUKE!? * ''[To Tsunade]'' If Jiraiya was the Hokage instead of you, he never would have gone on this mission. * I won’t bend my words. That’s what being a ninja means to me. * ''[To Tsunade]'' There’s no need for Konoha’s Hokage to deal with the likes of these guys. You just go enjoy a nice cup of tea or something... *''[After seeing Sakura's immense strength]'' I've gotta stop acting stupid in front of Sakura. I'm gonna get killed! * If my arms get ripped off, I'll just kick him to death! If my legs get ripped off, I'll just bite him to death! If my head gets ripped off, I'll just stare him to death! If my eyes get ripped off, I'll just curse him to death! And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave! * ''[To Pain]'' ''Peace''? ''Justice''? Screw you! You're insane! What about my master?! My Sensei! My friends! My home?! After everything you've done, you still act like it's for peace? * ''[To Pain]'' Give up on trying to make me give up! * ''[To Nagato]'' I came here to talk to you, but there was something else I wanted to find out too. I wanted to see how I would feel...I didn't know how I would really feel...if I saw you right in front of me. And I can't forgive you! I want to kill you so much, I'm trembling! * ''[To the Raikage]'' I'm begging you. I don't want anyone else getting killed for revenge. All Sasuke ever thought about was revenge! It consumed him and changed him! He was driven mad by revenge! He's not the same guy I knew anymore! I don't want that to happen to anyone else! I don't want Konoha and Kumo killing each other! * ''[Explaining what it means to connect heart-to-heart]'' Huh?! W-well, my feelings are understood by someone else. And that person's feelings reach me as well. *''[To Sasuke]'' Tell me...Do you know my thoughts...can you tell what is in my heart? You saw it, didn't you? If we fight again...we're both gonna die. *''[To Kushina]'' It's alright mom. You don't have to apologize. Sure...I went through alot when I was a kid because I am a jinchuuriki...but I would never blame you or dad for that. It's true, I never really had any parents...since you and dad weren't around. But now I do...you and dad died for me. Now I understand, because you always loved me! I'm so happy! I'm glad I'm your kid! * ''[To Itachi]'' Itachi... Thank you for trusting me. You don't have to worry anymore... You've done more than enough for the Village already! Leave the rest to me! * ''[To Tobi]'' You can call yourself no one, you can start a war, but even in this world you think of as "nothingness", no one's falling for your dumb ass lies! You can change your mask, you can take on as many names as you want, but you're still you, and your just one guy! I've had enough. I'm gonna tear that mask right off your face! *"Things are changing, alright. I just remembered a whole bunch of difficult names at once!" * ''[To Nagato]'' I'll win us peace! I won't give up until the very end! * (to Kushina Uzumaki): I always wanted to meet you... MOM! * ''[To Sakura]'' I hate people who lied to themselves, so just stop it! * ''[To Sakura, in Road to Ninja]'' Hold on. You're enjoying this whole situation, aren't you? * ''[To Sakura, in Road to Ninja]'' Oh, not at all? * ''[To Sakura, in Road to Ninja]'' So you've completely forgotten everything? Sakura, this entire place is a fake world that Madara sent us to! We're trapped here! * ''[yelling at Sakura, in Road to Ninja]'' '''THE POINT IS THAT I'M NOT STAYING!''' (mumbling) Staying in this dumb world...! * ''[To Sakura, in Road to Ninja]'' To gather more intel, of course! I'm not just gonna hang around here doing nothing! * ''[To Sasuke, before the final battle]'' I knew they'd be here. This sure brings back memories, Sasuke. * ''[To Sasuke, in Naruto: Shippūden - Ultimate Ninja Storm 4]'' Not yet... I'm not letting you leave just yet, Sasuke! * ''[To Sasuke, after the final battle]'' Now do you finally get it? See, if you move, the wound will open. * ''[To Sasuke]'' You can't explain something like that with words. But... whenever I see you... trying to carry everything... on your shoulders like that... It... hurts. It hurts so bad... that I just... can't ignore you. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Neji Hyuga|Neji Hyuga]]== * [About Guy] He recovers so fast, it's kind of annoying. * That's baggy. * I never once thought of becoming a Jonin as my final goal! * ''[repeating Team Guy's goal]'' Stronger than I was yesterday! * ''[When Lee asks Neji to hop on his back to ''train'']'' Oh, hell no! * ''[After being picked up by Lee]'' Lee, what on earth are you doing? Put me down this instant! * Aim ever higher... That's the destiny of the Hyuga. *[To Naruto] Naruto... sometimes your eyes are even better than mine. *"The words you said to me once freed me from the shackles of my curse..." *"Because...

I understand the freedom of being able to choose your own death." ==Kaguya Otsutsuki== * (To Madara as a voice in his head) The time when all shall become one has come. • (To Team 7 before being them to her personal dimension): This place...this world is my precious nursery. I cannot allow you to damage it any more. * (To Naruto and Sasuke while reminiscing about her sons): I hate you...Hagoromo...Hamura...You both belong to me. Naruto you are so annoying ! ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Kurama|Kurama]]== <span id="Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Kyuubi "></span> * (to Naruto) Naruto. Let's show them our power. * (to Naruto) Why are you hesitating? You need my power, right? Well, who do you want to kill? * ''[to Sasuke]'' With that vision of yours, and chakra more ominous than my own...You're the spitting image of Madara Uchiha from the Elder days. * ''[to Sasuke]'' I'll be gone soon. But I'll say this, even if it is my undoing. Whatever your plans are, do not destroy Naruto. If you do... you'll regret it... * (to Naruto) Destroy everything… Erase everything that hurts you… Entrust your heart to me… I will save you from your suffering. * (to Naruto) You don't have what it takes to control my power! You're nothing more than a mere fragment of my hatred! * (About Naruto reaching the other Tailed beasts) "Naruto… If you really want to do something for us… then do what you've always done… Prove it to us with your actions! That's who you are! * (To Tobi through Naruto): Sorry but… this guy doesn't suit your words. The Fourth Hokage entrusted me to Naruto… We became friends and now he's able to use my chakra! The Fourth sealed me into Naruto… to take you down! * (To Naruto with anger): You've influrated me Narutooo...! You can merge sage mode and tailed beast mode ==[[w:Orochimaru (Naruto)|Orochimaru]]== * ''[To Naruto]'' Let's see which of you has become stronger? You... Or Sasuke? * ''[To Naruto in his Four-Tailed state]'' How are you going to fight me now, with that huge mass of chakra restricting your movements? * My, my, what an amusing conversation. You wouldn’t mind if I were to join in myself, would you? * My oh my… you sure have become quite the Jinchuuriki, Naruto... * ''[To Yamato]'' I should think Konoha would be a bit more appreciative… wouldn’t you agree, dearest guinea pig of mine? * This body’s indeed showing an adverse reaction… it really is a shame, but playtime’s over. * ''[To Sai]'' When addressing your elders, etiquette requires you show yourself properly. * They (Konoha children) all died in a storm of thrashing and spasming. Just as I was preparing to clean up the mess and record my findings, someone stumbled upon one of my other experiments, and I was forced to leave the village. That, of course, meant my labs had to be abandoned. I assumed all sixty children were dead. I had no idea one actually survived! * What’s this chakra type… I haven’t seen an elementally recomposed type like this before! * ''[Referring to Sasuke]'' People used to call me a genius, but at that age, even I was nothing compared to him. * ''[In a flashback]'' All these children orphaned by the war have nothing but pain and suffering waiting for them. It’d be much more merciful to just kill them now. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Pain|Pain/Nagato]]== *[To Akatsuki] We're both of the same breed, after all... motives for war are of no concern. Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just "because." No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start war. War will never cease to exist, reasons can be thought up after the fact. Human nature pursues strife. * (To Hidan after his comment about Konaha being heathens) Konoha is not godless. They place their previous generation as gods and act with the "Will of Fire" as their driving ideology. Although, you could say that such things are justification for one to fight. * Countries have scaled back the villages, and many shinobi have lost their place of being. Shinobi exist for battle... yet this peace is the "reward" they receive for putting their lives on the line for their country. * Someone has disturbed my rain's fall... And judging by their chakra, it's someone dangerous. * Too many people have died here… their pain is what helped me grow up. * [To Jiraiya] Even the most ignorant, innocent child will eventually grow up as they learn what true pain is. It affects what they say, what they think… and they become real people. * ''[To Jiraiya]'' Sensei, you’re still just a normal person… but I, living in the centre of an infinite universe of Pain, have grown from a person, into something more. I’ve grown from a person… into a GOD. * I’m going to put an end to this pathetic world and its endless wars. It will be an act of a god. * Our world is still in its infancy… but the hand of god has come to guide it down the path to maturity. * Everything is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power. * Pain... that's a name to refer to all six of us. * You can still see Yahiko within me? How funny... I suppose that only his teacher would reconize what's left of him. But make no mistake: Yahiko is dead. The man standing before you is Pain, and no one else * ''(referring to Jiraiya, after defeating him)'' If it hadn't been for our secret we would have never won... I can give you no higher praise than that, my former teacher. * ''(upon slaughtering several Leaf Village guards on the outskirts of town)'' This is nothing... Compared to the pain the world will suffer. * ''[To Iruka]'' Where is the Nine-Tailed Fox's host...? Spit it out. If you don't, I'll kill you. * ''[To Tsunade]'' You think you're the only ones who matter. You think you can put off death. But that peace ,are you foolish and thoughtless. If you kill someone, someone else will kill you... this is the hatred that binds us together. I want you to feel pain, to think about pain, to accept pain, to know pain. Those who do not know true pain can never know true peace! * ...I will give the world more pain. * You Leaf Ninja aren't the only ones allowed to speak of harmony, especially after what you did to my village and what I did to yours. * Through justice, I will bring peace. * ''[stabbing Hinata in front of a helpless Naruto]'' I believe it was like this for me... watching my parents die before my eyes as you watched Leaf shinobi die before yours. It is precisely because we love that we sacrifice... and hate. * ''[To Naruto in his Six-Tailed Fox Cloak]'' My pain is greater than yours. * War brings pain and injury and death to both sides. * ''[To Naruto]'' War brings death.. And wounds and pain to both sides. There's nothing harder to accept than the deaths of those you love.. So you believe they could never die.. Especially those who haven't known war.. Like your generation. * There's nothing you can do. You couldn't even give me an answer. Your role is to be the sacrifice that allows me to bring peace to the world. That is the right answer. * [Last words to Naruto before dying] Dying like trash.. never ending hatred...pain that never heals... that is war... Naruto... this... is what you must face... The book.. and you.. It's like... someone set this all up... Or maybe... this is the hand of the real God... My role is over now... Naruto... you... can really- * "[To Naruto]" I couldn't believe in what Jiraiya believed in. Or in the man himself... but you chose a different path. In you I can see a different future... I will believe in you... Uzumaki Naruto...

It's impossible as long as we live in this accursed world! * "[To Naruto]" We studied under the same master... I told you that before that we should therefore be able to understand each other.

You have yet to truly get rid of your emotions, despite what you say… Even for us shinobi, abandoning our emotions completely is impossible. *''[to Ino about Sai]'' Don't let his boyish good looks fool you... I've met insects with more social grace than him. * The things that are most important aren't written in books. You have to learn them by experiencing them yourself. * [''To Naruto, while hugging him''] Thank you. *"[To Sasuke when leaving the village]" I may have friends and family, but...Sasuke if you were to leave, to me.....to me...i would be just as alone as you are.

Back in those days, I was just infatuated with how cool you were. Then you become my teammate on team 7. Being teammates didn't change me. I was still hopelessly in love with the cool Sasuke. Just gazing at his handsome profile was enough for me. I never gave a thought to who he really was behind that pensive face. But the shadow that you carried, when I finally noticed it was too late. Before I knew it, Naruto had matured and was standing face to face with you. I was the one left behind. Yet I didn't change. That's why this time, I tried to catch up to the two of you, in my own way. But Sasuke is no longer the person we think he is and he's far beyond our reach. I've already decided, I'll take care of Sasuke myself. * ["In her mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war]'' Naruto...you saved Konoha...and now you're trying to save the entire Shinobi World.

I know there's nothing much I can do to stop this...But I still love you! I never thought you'd turn out this way... I couldn't be there for you when you needed help...or even stop you from going down this path. All I could do is sit here and cry. It's disgraceful really! But... But Sasuke! If I still have a place in that heart of yours, even if it's just a little...please don't go! If we're together again...I'm sure we'd be able to get back to those days...

You actually do have some balls after all. * I’ve drawn hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures so far… none of them have titles. * ''[to Naruto]'' Please don’t lay the blame on others for your own minimal amount of ability. * I have none of what you’d call “emotions”. * ''[To Sakura after being told to nickname people after what comes to mind]]'' Thanks for the advice... homely. * ''[thinking]'' If I use female's true characteristics, they get scary. I might avoid it if I say the opposite of what I think. ''[to Ino]'' Pleased to you ...you um, Beautiful. * ''[talking to Sakura]'' I like everyone. Even you, ugly. * ''[About Sasuke]'' He betrayed the Leaf and ran off to serve Orochimaru... I don't want to be lumped together with a cockroach along the same lines... as Orochimaru. * ''[to Naruto]'' Oh, geez… You two are so alike… you and my brother, I mean. He was loud, impatient, unrefined, and his peni... Well, it doesn't really matter. But still... Yeah... Just like you, he took on anything he did with everything he had. Watching you somehow brings back memories of... * ''[to Sasuke]'' I'm here... to take you back to the Leaf Village. Although my original intention was to assassinate you. * ''[Sees Naruto clones training simultaneously]'' Naruto? ''[Begins to read]'' When your friends are working unusually hard on the job or doing their hobbies, it's nice to casually bring them a snack or drink. ''[Looks back at the hundreds of training Naruto clones]'' Working ''unusually'' hard.. Seems normal to me. ''[Takes out an apple originally intended for Naruto and takes a bite]'' * I wonder if this is what you'd call 'gross'. * ''[to Sakura]'' I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I don't know everything that's going on. I don't really understand people either. But even I can tell that Naruto really loves you. Naruto's been shouldering that promise for a long time...I think he means to shoulder it for the rest of his life. I don't know what you said to him, but it's just like what's been done to me - it feels like a curse. Sasuke causes Naruto pain, but I think you do too. * Sakura didn't come out here to confess her love. She was supposed to tell you the collective decision made by all your former Academy classmates...Konoha is going to dispose of Sasuke itself. Your ex-classmates are preparing to ask as we speak. * Sasuke is only helping spread his darkness across the world. Letting him live will only sow the seeds of another war. He's just another criminal now. Sasuke lost all hope of coming back when his group, Akatsuki, attacked our village. Your fellow Konoha shinobi would never accept him now. Sakura's not stupid, either. She understands the position he's put us all in. That's why she came out here, to tell you herself. * (''to Sakura'') Please don't think you have to shoulder all the responsibility (''for killing Sasuke''). I'm part of Team 7 too. * ''[In his mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war]'' This...is what it means to have friends. I understand it perfectly...Naruto. * ('' to Sakura '') Your words may be not lies, but i can already tell that your smile is fake. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Sasori|Sasori]]== * ''[to Deidara]'' You're late! I told you I don't like to wait! * ''[to Kankuro]'' I don't like to wait and I don't like to keep others waiting. So let me make this quick and sweet. * ''[to Kankuro]'' The spider needs to be swifter than the fly. * ''[to Deidara]'' Art is something that lasts for all posterity. Art is eternal. * ''[to Chiyo while revealing his Hiruko body]'' If you insist on defying me, you give me no choice...How about I add you and the little girl to my collection, Grandmother! * [About his Human Puppet-making method] First I'll empty out everything about them from the bodies...Then I’ll treat it so that it doesn’t decay before stocking it up with the rest of my collection. * [Finally revealing his puppet body] Yes, it's been a while… since I’ve used myself. * I am a puppet but… an incomplete puppet with the “core” of my real body… not human… not puppet… * Women like to do useless things, don't they... * Even connected by blood ties as we are, I won't feel a thing if Grandma Chiyo here dies. My heart... is just like this body. Of all the hundreds and thousands I've killed so far, she's just another one of them. It's that simple. * The strength of a puppeteer is measured by the amount of puppets they use. * ''[To Sakura]'' Give it up… this body feels no pain. If all you do is hit me, your fist is all that will hurt. * What's the point of something that disappears as soon as its born? * True beauty lies in things that last forever, never rotting or fading. * Traps are made so that people will fall into them. * ''[To Sakura]'' I would describe myself as a human being who could become a complete puppet, I am a unfinished puppet, whose lifeless frame still contains a beating heart at it's core. I am neither dead, nor am I alive. * '' [To Kankuro]'' My old puppet body... Suddenly it all seems so pointless. I now have the body I've always desired, one that will never rot or decay. I've truly become a puppet in every sense of the word. * Sasori: That is a considerable amount of puppets. But ... [Proceeds to summon one hundred puppets of his own] With this, I took down a whole country! ==[[w:Sasuke Uchiha|Sasuke Uchiha]]== <span id="Sasuke Uchiha"></span> *''[After Sai tells him Naruto thinks of him as a brother]'' As far as brothers go, I have only one... one I must destroy. * Revenge means everything to me. As long as I can have my revenge, I could care less what happens to me, or the whole world for that matter. For both Orochimaru and me, right now, killing Itachi would be impossible. But if I am able to accomplish my goals, through nothing more than offering Orochimaru this body of mine… than he can have my life, and my afterlife for that matter. * [''To Naruto''] It's not that I didn't cut those bonds. I didn't want to give him the pleasure of seeing me obtain power by following in ''his'' footsteps. I just spared your life on a whim...nothing more. * [''To Naruto, while leaning near him''] Come to think of it, wasn't it always your dream to become the Hokage someday? All of the time you spent chasing after me, would have been better off spent in training...wouldn't you agree...Naruto? But this time...my whim is telling me...[''unsheathing his sword''] to finished what I started. *(About the Nine Tailed Fox) So this was the source of your power? Interesting. Who would've thought that something like ''this'' was inside of you? * ''[To Orochimaru after he reprimands him for not killing the sound ninja]'' They're not the ones I want to kill. * ''[To Orochimaru]'' I have nothing more to learn from you. * ''[As he attacks Orochimaru]'' It looks like I'll be able to be cold hearted, even in front of '''you!''' * What's your purpose? To unravel the logic of this world or whatever. You've continued to play around with people like toys for such a stupid and selfish reason. ''[reflects on Itachi's reason for massacring his clan to measure his power]'' You make me sick. * ''[To Orochimaru]'' A snake that crawled on the earth, dreaming of soaring through the sky... knowing full well it was impossible. Still, hoping beyond hope, it kept its eye on a baby bird that it nurtured in its own nest... little realizing that actually... ''[activates his curse mark's second level and grows wings]'' That snake is prey because that bird is a hawk... ready to take to the sky! * Orochimaru was already in a weakened state... That's all there is to the story. * You know nothing about me. ''[Sasuke proceeds to attack Itachi from behind with Chidori]'' How much hate has filled and enveloped my heart, how much stronger I've grown because of it... You know nothing. * ''[To Itachi]'' What I see with my Sharingan is very clear to me... I see you... Dead. * ''[To Itachi]'' I said this is the end, you murderous traitor. But before I kill you, I have one last question. * ''[To Itachi]'' You can use your eyes as much as you want. But with my hatred… I’ll turn the illusion into reality! And that reality… is your death! * ''[Remembering the night the Uchiha clan was killed]'' I was so young... My only explanation was that it was all a horrible nightmare. I wanted to believe it wasn't real; That I was just trapped in someone's cruel genjutsu... But it did happen! That was reality! My "eyes" are wide open now! My Sharingan sees right through your Genjutsu! * ''[To Itachi]'' It's time to reproduce what I saw... the vision of your death. * Disappear with the thunder… * What Itachi wanted and what I want... are two completely different things. I can't do what he wanted...I'll revive the Uchiha my own way. * We have shed the skin of the snake, we are no longer the Hebi. From now on, our team will be "Hawk". We are Taka. Taka have but one purpose...our goal...''[Awakens his Mangekyo Sharingan]'' is to destroy Konoha! * If, as you said, the reason why Itachi couldn't kill me... was because my life was more precious than the village, then I feel similarly, that Itachi's life is more precious than Konoha. That's all. * Saying I should follow in Itachi's footsteps is nothing but pretty words. It's nonsense mean't for those who don't know hatred. * I have closed my eyes long ago...my goal exists in the ''Darkness''. * If anyone wants to deny my way of living, I'll kill everyone they ever cared about left and right! Maybe then, they'll understand... a little of my hatred. * They're all laughing...they're all laughing it up, at the cost of Itachi's life! Cackling like fools in unison, with no idea of the price he paid! All I hear in your laugher now is scorn and ridicule! But I'll change it..I'll turn your laughter into screams of '''anguish'''! * [''After Naruto tells him he understands his motives''] Naruto...I told before...how can you...with no parents or siblings...possibly understand me? You never had anyone! [''Glares hatefully at Naruto''] So shut up you outsider! * [''To Naruto''] Naruto...it's too late! Nothing you say can change me now! I'm still going to kill every one in Konoha, even you! So your only choices are either to kill me and become Konoha's hero for saving the village...or die by my hand and be known by everyone as a loser! * [''After having Itachi's eyes transplanted in him''] It's perfect. I can feel Itachi's visual powers flowing through me. I can feel myself getting...[''Grins evilly''] stronger. * [''After impaling a White Zetsu with a black flaming Totsuka Blade''] Shall we test it outside? [''Steps forward with a new Susanno behind him''] These eyes...[''Removes his bandages''] can see fine in the darkness...[''Reveals his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan''] * I'm going to the battlefield. I will not let this village...and my brother...be wasted! * Many things happened...But I decided to protect the village. And...I...will become Hokage. * [''After sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki''] I suppose so...But first...I'm going to execute the five kages that are still inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi...And on top of that Tailed Beasts...I'm going to place you all under my control! ==[[w:Shikamaru Nara|Shikamaru Nara]]== <span id="Shikamaru Nara"></span> * Every jutsu has some kind of risk, or restriction on its use * ''[Smoking Asuma's last cigarette]'' ...I knew... I'd hate smoking... The smoke... gets in my eyes.... * Just leaving things be, living without sticking to what we believe in is just... we just don't want to live like that 'cuz it's a pain the ass. * Kagemane no Jutsu... successful! *''[To Hidan]'' That doesn't scare me at all. Between you and me, what we believe in is different. What I believe in is the "will of fire." But your god isn't some stupid Jashin-sama or anything. Right now, it's me. And I'll give you judgment! * I was always... complaining and avoiding my responsibilites. Because of my behavior, I'd mess up, and Asuma would have to cover me. He was a strange teacher who was, at times difficult to grasp. But he was the coolest adult there ever was. From here on, it's my turn. * ''[To Naruto]'' Someday you’ll be the one to treat others to ramen. And you’ll be called master Naruto. We can’t stay kids forever. Like Asuma and Jiraiya… I wanna be as cool as them. * ''[using Shogi as a metaphor for ninja life]'' The unborn children who'll grow up to be the next generation of leaf ninja... They're the king. * ''[To Kurenai]'' When you have that kid, I'll have to protect it. So I've gotta grow up to be a cool adult too! * We already know that the Akatsuki don't follow the laws of nature, physics or logic. * Where did I go? I went to talk to Naruto. He's been so down, you know? It's a pain in the arse, but I just found myself headed over there. He has something no-one else does...he's going to be a very important ninja. When I'm with Naruto...he makes me want to walk with him. * Man the hell up, Choji! We're not kids who need adults to protect us anymore, ''we're'' the protectors! Do you want to sit and watch while Asuma kills his own child? You think that's mercy? * ''[To Choji about Naruto while coming to aid Naruto during the war]'' He isn't the type to calmly come up with a plan though. ''[In thought]'' That's why I'm here. Wait for me Naruto, I'm almost there! ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Shino Aburame|Shino Aburame]]== <span id="Shino Aburame"></span> * ''[After Naruto fails to recognize him]'' Even if it's been a while, you should at least remember the faces of your friends. The reason being that if you don't... it's painful to the person who called you out. * ''[thinking after seeing Tobi]'' So this is Akatsuki? * I'll finish this. Why? Not only am I part of the mission, but I must make up for not being there last time, as well. * ''[In his mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war]'' I'm going to fully support Naruto with my Ninjutsu...I don't need...a reason why! ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Shizune|Shizune]]== * Naruto and Sakura are doing great! * Lady Tsunade, you do realize that by sending Naruto on this mission, you're putting him at risk, right? ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Suigetsu Hozuki|Suigetsu Hozuki]]== <span id="Suigetsu Hozuki"></span> * ''[On Manda's death]'' Using time-space Justu to escape is cool, and all, but... what in the world just happened? * ''[Pointing at Sasuke's head with his hand in a "gun" gesture]'' Let's make our relationship clear, okay? Just because you defeated Orochimaru doesn't make you superior to me. We were all after him... sooner or later someone was going to kill him... You were a favorite and could stay by Orochimaru and weren't locked up. In this situation... I've got the upper hand. * Haha... Never would've guessed a bunch of stupid animals could sense chakra... Then again, "stupid animal" describes Karin pretty well, so I guess it makes sense. * ''[Speaking of Sasuke’s Mangekyo Sharingan]'' Jeez… that eye’s even handier than before… he’ll be even more of a pain now. * ''[as Sasuke tells him not to kill the curse mark test subjects]'' You really are of Konoha. You shoulda killed that last guy too... you're soft. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Temari|Temari]]== * I don't believe in omens... But I have a bad feeling about this. * ''(Naruto's dedication to rescue Gaara)'' Naruto... Thank you. * ''(to Naruto)'' You are a strange person. You have the power to change people. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Tenten|Tenten]]== * I was stronger than I was yesterday! * You're in no position to continue! * Guy-Sensei! Hurry up! You're too slow! * Lee you got to do better * Neji, are you alright? * ''[In her mind while coming to aid Naruto during the war]'' Is Guy-Sensei there? I hope he's protecting Naruto! Kakashi-Sensei's there too...so they should be alright... ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Tsunade|Tsunade]]== *'' [Watching Team Kakashi go on their mission]'' Growth.. is a mysterious thing, isn't it? * ''[Thinking about Dan and Nawaki]'' There are times when death is hard to accept. But if you don't get over it, there's no future. * ''[Referring to Naruto and Gaara]'' The only one who can understand a Jinchuuriki... Is another Jinchuuriki. * If Naruto and the fate of Konoha fall because of me... I'll take full responsibility! * I will protect the village, no matter what... I swear by the name of Hokage! * ''[Mug suddenly cracks]'' That's a bad sign. ''[Quickly takes out lotto ticket]'' I won! And it's the grand prize, to boot! This is the worst possible omen. * And yet, truth is still stranger than fiction. * Bah, you men are all alike. Without women around, there'd be no one to reject your advances and toughen you up. * ''[To her advisers]'' Do you know what Jiraiya and Sarutobi and Chiyo of Sunagakure had that you don't?.. Faith. ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Tobi|Obito Uchiha/Tobi]]== * I'm new to the bunch! Pleased to meet ya! * Found it! I found it, Mr. Zetsu! So, can I become a member of Akatsuki now? There is an opening now, after all. * ''[To Deidara, when he threatens to decide how to kill him]'' What's to decide? You'd just blow me up! * Like this Mr. Zetsu? * They're strong, aren't they? No wonder you got beat up, Deidara-senpai. * Senpai! Senpai! Look! Look! ''[Points at piggy bank inside dango store as Deidara looks]'' That's exactly like your artwork, isn't it? Could it be that your works of art are.. A cheap rip-off? * Ichibi, Nibi, and I am Tobi! * I look forward to watching you develop, Sasuke… Will you remain a snake? Or shed your serpentine scales and become a hawk? * Whooooah! Didn't see that coming! NOT! Just as I predicted... * ''[To Pain about Naruto]'' You capture him. As the leader, failure will not be accepted. * Soon… soon, all our goals will be achieved. And when they are, everything will be as it should. * I'll play with you children some other time. * I know everything there is to know about Itachi. Of course, he died without realizing just how much. * ''[To Sasuke]'' You know so much about your brother and at the same time, you know nothing. * ''[To Sasuke after revealing the truth about Itachi]'' You couldn’t see through Itachi at all. You couldn’t see through his illusion. * Good feeling, Sharingan's power was shown well, his eyes will surpass Itachi's eyes. The time is ripe. You can bet he's prepared himself as it won't be long now. * The Sharingan's true power... My power... Madara Uchiha's power! * ''[thinking about Sasuke]'' When one loves… there is the risk of hate. * ''[to Minato]'' You deserve the title of Fourth Hokage... managing to wound me, and wrest the fox from my control in one move. But someday it will be mine again. The fox, and this whole world, will bow to my will. Many doors are still left open to me. * ''[to Konan]'' There is no peace! There can be no hope! Nagato only believed in Naruto to try to comfort his own pitiful existence! * ''[to Naruto and Killer Bee]'' The war has already begun... My name no longer matters. You may call me by my old name, Tobi, if you prefer. Madara, Tobi... call me whatever you want. I'm no one... I don't want to be anyone. All I care about is completing my Eye of the Moon Plan. * ''[to Naruto and Killer Bee]'' "Individuality makes people blind to the truth. My words, the words of no one… are the true words that will lead this world to truth… * ''[to Kakashi]]'' "You've seen reality, you should be able to understand… No wish can become true in this world. That's why I'm pursuing the dream of infinite Tsukuyomi. I want to build a world where heroes don't have to make pitiful excuses in front of graves. * ''[To Naruto after Neji's death]]'' "This is what happens when you talk about hope and ideals… This is reality. Naruto… what do you have in this reality? You have no father and mother... your master Jiraiya is dead, and as long as you keep opposing, your friends will die one after the other. No one that acknowledges you will survive. And you already know what lies ahead of all this… Loneliness. There's no need to be in this reality, come here Naruto!"[42] * ''[to Kakashi]]'' "Look! There is nothing in my heart! I don't even feel pain! You don't have to feel guilty, Kakashi. This hole was opened by this hell of a world."Minato you are a idiot. * ''[To Minato]]'' "We're way past the point of lectures, wouldn't you agree, sensei? When it came to life changing events, you were always a step behind...I'm glad my sensei was the Hokage. Thanks to that, it was easier for me to let my dream die...Despite being my master, you failed to recognize your own pupil. You've always had that oblivious nature about you, from the moment I met you... I can't help but pity you. The hallowed martyr...shamed in front of his living son...Yes...a mere Hokage is simply fodder compared to what I've become... * ''[To Madara after a change of heart]]'' I'm not you. The current me is the one who wanted to become Hokage: Obito Uchiha!" * ''[To Naruto]]'' "I am Kakashi's friend, your father's student, an Uchiha like Sasuke, and… I'm someone who had the same dream as you a long time ago. Now there's no time to go on with sophisms, but at least let me walk in front of you… and die!" * (Final words, to Naruto]'' "You'll probably have to suffer again from now on...But don't change. Keep going your way. You told me that you never change your words… that's your ninja way, right? Naruto, become Hokage… at all costs. ==[[w:List of Naruto characters#Yamato|Yamato]]== * It's an honor to be working in Kakashi's place. * Teamwork and cooperation are the most important things in a team. * ''[To Naruto, Sakura and Sai while making "ghoul eyes"]'' The three of you probably don't know me very well, either... While I do prefer to interact with people in a gentle manner, I will use draconian methods if needed. * It’s not what you do for Naruto that’s important… it’s how strongly you feel about him that counts. Sakura… I can tell just by looking at you… the truth is, you- * I’ll pass on saying "I won’t let you guys get hurt!" with a smile. You’re no longer apprentice ninja who need to be protected. You’re shinobi who’ll sooner or later have to pass Kakashi and sustain Konoha on your shoulders. It’s one thing to be compassionate and another to be indulgent. * Naruto and Sakura, with you two here I had hoped not to have to resort to any of my cruder methods… but, unfortunately, it’s time I get serious. * ''[To Naruto]'' If you want to save Sasuke, do it with your own power. Not with Kyubi’s eyes, but your own. That is, if you truly want to see Sasuke and if you really want to protect Sakura… * ''[To Naruto and Sai]'' Ahh... It's nice to enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot springs, right guys? ''[both ignore him, so he makes his "ghoul eyes"]'' I said "RIGHT GUYS...?" * Actually, just watch... you're about to see a completely new Naruto! ==[[w:List of Naruto antagonists#Zetsu|Zetsu]]== * ''[White Zetsu]'' Tobi's a good boy. * ''[White Zetsu]'' When you are sad and alone... ''[black side]'' All you can count on is yourself. * ''[white side to the black side in references to Pain fight with Jiraiya]'' What took you so long? ''[Black Zetsu]'' He was fighting Jiraiya after all * ''[White to Black on Orochimaru]'' Always with the barfing stuff and the coming out of snake mouths... he grosses me out. ''[Black Zetsu]'' The snake connection is no coincidence; he's as persistent as a king cobra. * ''[White to Black]'' Yeah, well, Sasuke just ate a Tsukiyomi. He won't be able to move anymore, you'll be snacking on him in no time. ===Black Zetsu=== * The Sharingan is just another tool that some ninja can use. A tool is only as powerful as the shinobi who uses it. An expert with a stone can still beat a novice with a shuriken. All he needs is more skill and more power. * Itachi...He is dead!? Unbelievable! * (to White Zetsu) A weapon's strength or weakness is dependent on the user's ability to use it. An expert with a pebble can still beat a novice with a shuriken * (To Minato and Kakashi after fusing onto Obito's body) I'm Madara's will. I'll eliminate whoever stands in his way. You and Obito took Madara way too lightly, and you underestimated me as well. * (to Madara) You're not the saviour...and it's not over. Why do you think, that unlike Obito, you can use everyone else? Why would you be any different?" * (to Madara before fusing onto him to revive his true creator) My will is...Kaguya's! ==Dialogue== :'''Konohamaru''' (After using the Sexy Jutsu): How was that?

You really have become amazing... Naruto. I'm sure you've come back with a lot of great new jutsu too, right... :'''Naruto''': ''[with a comically exaggerated look of excitement on his face]'' Such a jutsu is now mediocre, Konohamaru!

The village only thinks of you as a weapon of terror. You'll have a really hard time if you leave us and join a regular squad. The higher-ups don't think much of you. And most of the villagers are still terrified of you. :'''Gaara''': I know that. But doing nothing will cause more fear and suffering. In order to escape a path of loneliness, I have no choice but to work hard and make my own path. If I do that, then someday... Someday... I can be like him. That's why I will become Kazekage as a Shinobi of Sand. So I can live a life connected to my village. :'''Kankuro''': Gaara... :'''Gaara''': I want to work hard so that others will accept my existence. That's what I thought when I looked at Naruto Uzumaki. Up until now, my bonds with others have only been ones of pain. But, seeing him fight so hard made me wonder what a bond really is. I think I understand a little now. Suffering, sadness... and joy. To be able to share it with another person...Naruto Uzumaki... When I fought him, I feel that is what he taught me. He knows the same suffering as I do. And he taught me that you can change how you live your life.

Then why should I continue to exist? I thought about it, but couldn't find an answer. But, one needs a reason to live. Otherwise, it's the same as being dead. :'''Naruto''': He's been targeted by the Akatsuki! We're the same, again! And despite that... Why does everything bad always have to happen to him?!

This time, I want to save him as fast as I can! :'''Temari''': ''(sulking in sympathy for Naruto and Gaara, seeing the former's sympathy genuine when she fell a tear fall onto her face)'' Naruto, I... Thank you... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Deidara''': I merely take on contracts to blow things up... with my art, that is, h'm! :'''Sasori''': Your art? :''[Deidara holds up a clay spider]'' :'''Deidara''': Behold! Aren't you impressed? The product pursuing refined linework matched with two-dimensional deformation! H'm! Now ''this'' is art! But my art doesn't end here! None of my works are static! When they have physical form, they're little more than models, h'm! But this explodes! And with that explosion, its essence is propelled to greatness, at that moment of becoming the true work of art I intended! And in that fleeting moment of grandeur that I see true art! H'm! Art is an explosion! :'''Sasori''': Damn, he's annoying... :'''Kisame''': Is he done now...? :'''Itachi''': Who knows... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Guy''': That sword...! :'''Kisame''': So you've finally remember at last? :'''Guy''': ...It's your sword, right?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sasori''': Itachi, this Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, what is he like? :'''Pain''': Go on, tell him. :'''Itachi''': He's the one who bursts in and starts barking. :'''Sasori''': What do you mean? :'''Deidara''': Doesn't he have any identifying characteristics, other than barking? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Deidara''': What's taking them? I wish they would just hurry up and get in here, hmm... Sasori, my man? I thought you didn't like to wait. :'''Sasori''': You're right...I hate it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Deidara''': Finally. Well then, which one of you is the Jinchruriki? :'''Naruto''': You bastards! You'll pay for this! :'''Sasori''': The one who bursts in and starts barking...He must be the Jinchuriki. :'''Deidara''': Sasori my man, I think you're correct. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gai, annoyed with being last, puts an exhausted Kakashi on his back.]'' :'''Naruto''': ''[thinks]'' That's just wrong. :'''Sakura''': ''[thinks]'' Grown men playing piggyback... It's almost creepy. :'''Tenten''': ''[thinks]'' Oh brother... :'''Lee''': ''[thinks]'' I see... it's training! :'''Gai''' (Proceeds to run): Now it'll be a lot faster! Ahahaha! All of you, see if you can keep up! :'''Sakura''': ''[thinks]'': Running doesn't make it less creepy... :'''Lee''' [bending over]: Neji...Get on my back. :'''Neji''': Forget it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobi''': I found it! I found it, Mr. Zetsu! [Tobi takes Sasori's ring and admires it] This means I can become an Akatsuki member now, right? You have a vacant place, after all. [Tobi flips the ring into the air] :'''Black Zetsu''': Idiot. It's not that simple. :'''White Zetsu''': Why not let him? Tobi's a good boy. [Tobi fails to catch the ring as it falls into a crack in the ground as Zetsu walks off.] :'''Tobi''': Mr. Zetsu, wait! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Tobi finds Deidara's severed hand in the woods and figures he died in an explosion. Deidara appears soon, alive]'' :'''Tobi''': My, my, my! You made it in one piece, Deidara? Opps, my mistake. :'''Deidara''': Tobi, even the great Buddha loses patience when insulted a third time...One more word and there'll be no doubt about the cause of your death. :'''Tobi''': Death by explosion? :'''Black Zetsu''': There's the third time... :'''Deidara''': ''[locks his legs around Tobi's neck in a chokehold]'' Death by suffocation, hm! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sai''': Sorry about before. I wanted to test the abilities of my new teammate. :'''Naruto''': You didn't have to go that far... :'''Sai''': I wanted to see how strong my team mate is, or if the little boy needs help. :''[Sakura holds Naruto back as he tries to attack Sai]'' :'''Naruto''': What was that, you? :'''Sakura''': He's our teammate now, don't start fights with him!''[to Sai]'' And that includes you too. :'''Sai''': Oh, really? :'''Sakura''': You won't make any friends if you keep acting like that, :'''Sai''': Oh? But I like everyone. Even you, ugly. :''[Yamato holds Sakura back as she tries to attack Sai]'' :'''Sakura''': What was that, you? :'''Yamato''': Take your own advice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Naruto''': The fourth member of Team Kakashi, now and always... is Sasuke Uchiha! This guy's just a filler. He'll never be like Sasuke! He'll never be a part of the team! :'''Sai''': I'm glad you let that out. Sasuke betrayed the Leaf and joined Orochimaru. The last thing I wish to be like is a treacherous cockroach. :'''Naruto''': You... ''[Sakura stops him from saying anything]'' :'''Sakura''': Naruto, remember we're a team. Sai...he doesn't know you that much yet. Please forgive him. :'''Naruto''': S-Sakura... :'''Yamato''': Sigh... Glad someone has some sense. :'''Sai''': That's all right. I'm not offended as all. :'''Sakura''': ''[smiling]'' That's a relief. ''[She then sends Sai flying with a punch]'' I don't care one bit...if you forgive me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sai''': Why do you go so far for him? Why are you trying so hard to bring him back, willing to risk your life by going up against Orochimaru to do it? Why? You haven’t been ordered to do this. :'''Naruto''': You know...I used to hate Sasuke... But once I got used to being with him I realized he's really a lot of fun to be around...he's more than a friend, he accepted me and my existence. Sasuke is my friend... and we have a bond... :'''Sai''': A… bond? But still, you have to go through Orochimaru... :'''Naruto''': I don’t care who I have to fight! If he tears my arms off, I'll kick him to do death! If he tears my lefs off, I'll bite him to death! If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death! If he gouges my eyes out, I'll curse him to death! Even if I’m torn to shreds, I’ll defeat Orochimaru and take Sasuke, once and far all! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Deidara''': You forget I helped you out! You didn't do it alone! If you're a member of the Akatsuki, being cool means not being such a big mouth. In a word, cool equals art. Anyway, in the passionate instant when you begin to feel the cool feelings of art-- ''[Tobi interrupts]'' :'''Tobi''': Senpai, you seem to be the big mouth right now... Hahaha! ''[Deidara gives him an 'evil' look and begins to attack him with explosives]'' ...I said I was joking! Ahhhh! Owwww! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Deidara''': Now, Tobi! Don't get too cocky! The Three-Tails wasn't in a Jinchuuriki, so it's weak. It didn't have enough smarts to control it's own strength. ''[Tobi just lies there, silent]'' ...Hey, Tobi. I didn't mean you had to take it literally. At least say ''something''... ''[Deidara discovers Tobi has actually fallen asleep, and after another 'evil look', he once again attacks him with explosives]'' :'''Tobi''': NOOOO! :'''Deidara''': YOU IMBECILE! HOW'S THAT FOR A WAKE-UP CALL?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Naruto''': If I can't look both ways at the same time, all I have to do is split into two and look right while my clone looks left! :'''Kakashi''': And that would mean you got that idea from my clone stunt a moment ago. ''[thinks]'' Although it's only an approach available to Naruto with his chakra and shadow clones... I of course, wouldn't be able to do it, but even for the Fourth, it would've been impossible. Naruto really is something. ''[to Naruto]'' I must say, you do live up to your title of "most unpredictable ninja". Naruto, how should I put it... I think I'm starting... to fall in love with you! :''[Naruto's jutsu fizzles and his clones fade as he reacts, shocked]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Kakuzu has been defeated by Naruto's Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken]'' :'''Kakuzu''': For me... to be beaten by kids like you... :'''Kakashi''' Well to someone who fought the First Hokage, we do look like kids. However, you look like a crazy old man. Thus, here you lie in the dirt and now your time to die has come. From one generation to the next, the following one will continue to surpass the previous. :''[Kakashi finishes off Kakuzu]]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Deidara''': No doubt about it. My art's gonna finish you off this time. ''[Deidara chuckles, but Sasuke just stares at him with his Sharingan]'' :'''Deidara''': ...That's what pisses me off about you! You and your accursed brother! ''[Sasuke continues to stare at Deidara''] :'''Deidara''': Stop acting cool! Those eyes! Those darned cocky eyes of yours! It drives me insane! Eyes that reject... That disdain my art! I refuse to be looked at by them anymore! Eyes that show no wonder... No appreciation... Eyes that ignore my creations! :'''Sasuke''': ''[after a pause]'' I couldn't care less about all that. Now tell me where Itachi is! ''[Sasuke's Sharingan fades back into his normal eyes, and he still stares at Deidara]'' :'''Deidara''': Even without his Sharingan... he still takes me lightly... ''[Deidara rips his shirt off revealing a mouth on his chest that he feeds explosive clay]'' :'''Deidara''': Behold... My masterpiece! Self destruction! :'''Sasuke''': ''[thinking]'' He's insane! :'''Deidara''': Death will transform me into a work of art! An explosion unlike any of the others... One that will leave scars in the earth like nothing else... A creation worthy of praise unlike anything before it! [thinking] Sorry, Tobi... [To Sasuke] And you... will die! The blast will cover more than 10 kilometers! You'll never get away, hmmm! Now show me your fear! Drown yourself in the awe... and despair! Cry like a lost child! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION! ''[A massive explosion occurs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tsunade''': You're dealing with someone who's strong enough to keep Akatsuki in line. We have no idea of his power... And now you're gonna waltz right onto his turf. :'''Jiraiya''': Yep... I guess I should get moving. :'''Tsunade''': Come back alive... If I lose you, too... I... :'''Jiraiya''': Are you gonna cry for me?! Haha, I'm honored! I don't suppose I'll get as many tears as Dan did, though, ha ha ha! :'''Tsunade''': ... :'''Jiraiya''': Alright, how about we put your gambling skills to use? Put everything you've got on me dying. You always pick the losing bet. And in return, I'll come back alive and well. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Itachi''': I see you learned a little about fighting the Sharingan... You must know what to do when you're alone. Why aren't you running? :'''Naruto''': Pfft! Because with me, my numbers can be anywhere from 1 to 1,000! And I can't afford to run this time. I've gotta capture you so I can find Sasuke! :'''Itachi''': ''[after a long pause]'' ...What is it about my brother that makes you care about him so much? :'''Naruto''': Because he's like a brother to me... More of a brother to me than he ever was to you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jiraiya''': ''[finishing recalling Nagato, Konan and Yahiko's childhood]'' Any time there was trouble, whoever opposed your side would wind up dead. A few years after I left, I started hearing your names come up occasionally. :'''Konan''': You have no idea what happened to us after you left, sensei. :'''Jiraiya''': You're absolutely right, I don't. But there's no doubt in my mind that what Akatsuki's doing is wrong! :'''Pain''': ''[arriving on-scene]'' That's YOUR opinion... Jiraiya-sensei. :'''Jiraiya''': You've changed a lot, but those eyes... so you're Pain... Eh, Nagato? I guess you didn't grow up like I thought you would. What HAPPENED to you three? :'''Nagato''': ''[coldly]'' You don't need to know. You're just an outsider, remember? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tsunade''': Minato Namikaze... The resemblance is undeniable... :'''Jiraiya''': Minato had talent you only see once a decade at best. He was a genius... No one like him has been born in a while. He was such a nice kid, yet his guts and desire to succeed are the fiercest I've ever seen. And in the blink of an eye, he was our fourth Hokage. I never had kids, so I don't know what it's like... But if he were my son, I'd have bragged about him all the time. :'''Tsunade''': Haha... Hearing you say that makes me think of how different they are, too. If I had to choose, I'd say he's much more similar to his mother. :'''Jiraiya''': .....A kunoichi from the former Land of Whirlpools... :'''Tsunade''': Yeah... His personality and ninjutsu style are exactly like Kushina Uzumaki's. :'''Jiraiya''': That was her name! I remember that red hair, the constant jabbering and her tomboyish demeanor. She was just like one of the boys! :'''Tsunade''': Kushina became so beautiful as she grew up... but Naruto does look a lot like his father. :'''Jiraiya''': That's why I say I see ''him'' in Naruto. I have to admit I've come to think of him as my own grandson... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Minato''': I thought it was great! Each chapter really seems like a page out of your own life, Sensei. It almost reads like an autobiography. :'''Jiraiya''': Yeah, but... It didn't sell at all. Maybe I should try and sex up the sequel a little... That's my real forte, after all. :'''Minato''': The way the protagonist refused to give up, even at the end... that was really cool. He's just like you, Sensei. :'''Jiraiya''': Heheh... You think so? :'''Minato''': Actually, I was thinking... :'''Jiraiya''': Hm? :'''Minato''': We want to raise our child to be a shinobi like the one in your book! That's why we've decided to name him after the main character in your book. What do you think? :'''Jiraiya''': A-Are you sure about this? It's just a random name I came with while I was eating some ramen- :'''Kushina''': ''(enters the room)'' Naruto... It's a beautiful name. ''(she rubs her pregnant stomach gently)'' :'''Jiraiya''': Kushina... Hahaha... Hoo boy... If I name him, that makes me his Godfather, right? Are you sure you want that on your heads? :'''Minato''': Absolutely! You're a man of true skill... An example we should all follow. I can't think of a finer shinobi than you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sasuke''': Just who is Madara? :'''Itachi''': A man whose eyes tamed the Nine-Tails and controlled it like a pet ''[Itachi activates his Mangekyou Sharingan]''... My accomplice, and my teacher ''[Itachi proceeds to move towards Sasuke]''... The only person in history to learn the Sharingan's final secret... An invincible immortal. That is who Madara Uchiha is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Zetsu''': Sasuke won. Itachi Uchiha is dead ''[everyone has shocked looks on their faces]''. :'''Tobi''': Whoa, didn't see that coming... NOT. Just as I predicted. :'''Sakura''': S-Sasuke... killed Itachi? :'''White Zetsu''': Sasuke collapsed like, a second later, though... What do you say? He's probably fading fast. :'''Naruto''': '''YO ALOE VERA! WHERE THE HELL IS SASUKE!?''' :'''White Zetsu''': "Aloe vera"...? :'''Black Zetsu''': Just ignore him. ''[Kakashi looks at Tobi and sees his Sharingan]'' :'''Tobi''': ''[with Sharingan active]'' I'll play with you children some other time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tobi''': I know everything there is to know about Itachi. Of course, he died without realizing just how much... :'''Sasuke''': ''[gripping the sheets tightly]'' Enough! I don't care anymore! Just go away and never come near me again! :'''Tobi''': I think you should-- no, you HAVE to question me. It's your mission... Your duty! ''[Sasuke continues to lean forward, sick with shock]'' ...You need to know about him... This man who risked everything to protect the shinobi world... The Leaf Village... And most of all, his little brother... You need to know about Itachi Uchiha's life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Iruka''': Naruto... I heard about Master Jiraiya. :'''Naruto''': ''[wiping his tears]'' ...I wanted him to keep watching me... I wanted him to be there when I became Hokage. To have him see me do more than just screw up... Heh... :'''Iruka''': Master Jiraiya had nothing but praise for you. He'd brag constantly about you, how you were practically his grandson. How you were a man who'd inherited his spirit. He never doubted for a minute that you'd grow up to be a wonderful Hokage... Master Jiraiya will always be watching over you. In fact, I'm sure he's looking down on you now, wherever he is. But if you just sit around sulking, he won't be able to brag about you. Don't stop being the person who earned all that praise. Be yourself... And cheer up! You're Master Jiraiya's prize pupil- the man who he acknowledged as being the best. :'''Naruto''': ''[clearly reassured]'' ...Thanks... Iruka-sensei. <hr width="50%"/> ''[Flashback to Naruto's time with Jiraiya]'' :'''Jiraiya''': I'm always thinking I want to do something about this hatred, but I'm not sure how to go about it yet. But I believe... that eventually the day will come when all people will understand one another and live in harmony! :'''Naruto''': Wow, that's kinda deep. :'''Jiraiya''': Well then, if I can't find the solution, I shall pass the quest on to you! :'''Naruto''': Yessir! Can't refuse your orders, pervy sage! :'''Jiraiya''': Nwa ha ha! :'''Naruto''': What's so funny? :'''Jiraiya''': I feel redeemed by your smiling face. :'''Naruto''': Heh heh. :'''Jiraiya''': I'm glad I made you my apprentice. :'''Naruto''': R-really? :'''Jiraiya''': But I haven't given up yet, you know! I plan to change the world with my books! :'''Naruto''': With those books that don't sell? :'''Jiraiya''': Fool! They'll be best sellers before you know it! And when that day comes, I won't autograph your copies even if you beg me to! :'''Naruto''': No thanks! Don't want your autograph anyway! ''[thinking in the present]'' 'Cause you gave me something much more valuable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pain''': I've wanted to talk with you. :'''Tsunade''': ''[remembers Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan as children]'' You're... That kid... :'''Pain''': Looks like you remember me. :'''ANBU agent''': Do you know him? :'''Tsunade''': A little... :'''ANBU agent''': Who is he? :'''Tsunade''': ... :'''Pain''': The god who will restore order. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Naruto''':: There's something I need to find out...I want to talk to Pain. :'''Inoichi''': What the hell are you talking about? I'm grateful you defeated Pain, but talking won't solve anything now! :'''Naruto''': So what, then? Should I just destroy Pain and his cronies and his whole village, and that'll solve everything? :'''Inoichi''': What use will talking be? He's the enemy of Konoha! We can't just forgive him! :'''Naruto''': I can't just forgive him for what he did to my master and the village and everyone! :'''Inoichi''': So what, then? :'''Shikaku''': Inoichi. Let's just let Naruto go alone. He's the one who stopped Pain. I'm sure he has a plan. Just let him go. :'''Naruto''': Thanks, Shikaku! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sakura''': I said I love you, Naruto! I'm saying there's nothing between me and Sasuke anymore! I don't know what I was thinking, liking a person like that. I'm confessing my feelings here, so listen up! :'''Naruto''': I so love you, Sakura :'''Kakashi'': Just what happened? :'''Sakura''': Nothing, really. I just realised that there's no sense in continuing to like someone who's a fugitive and a criminal. I can't stay a kid forever. I want to face reality. So, Naruto, no need to keep that promise. Won't you stop chasing Sasuke? :'''Yamato''': What the hell are you... :'''Sakura''': (''in Kiba's flashback'') I'll do all the talking, so don't say anything to Naruto. You've got to keep this promise, everyone. :'''Naruto''': Did something happen, Sakura? But i stil love you Sakura :'''Sakura''': Nothing happened! If you want to know why I started liking you, I'll say it clearly. Sasuke just keeps getting further away from me, but Naruto, you've always stayed by my side. You've encouraged me. I finally realized who you really are, Naruto. The hero who protected the village, beloved by everyone in the village...I'm just one of them. That mischievous little dummy I knew is becoming this great important man, and I've been watching from right next to him, but all Sasuke's done is commit crimes and break my heart. More and more, he's becoming a different person than he was, so distant, but Naruto...you're right here where I can touch you like this. You make me feel safe. Right now, from the bottom of my heart, I can kiss you :'''Naruto''': i will kiss you now. :'''Sakura''': [''Smiles nervously''] Have you flipped? I just switched from Sasuke to you. They say a woman's heart is as fickle as the autumn sky, Naruto : I love you a lot. <hr width="50%"/> ''[During the Sasuke chase]'' :'''Onoki''': My hips are troubling me. The rest of you may do as you like. :'''Akatsuchi''': Good idea. ''[At the Kage Summit Bridge]'' :'''Kakashi''': [''To Sasuke''] Sasuke...I don't want to keep repeating myself...but I'll say it one last time...do not be consumed by revenge! :'''Sasuke''': ''[Laughs maniacally]'' :'''Sasuke''' [''Calmly with rising angier''] Bring me back Itachi...my father and mother. ''[Shouting]'' MY WHOLE CLAN! BRING THEM ALL HERE! DO THAT...AND I'LL QUIT RIGHT NOW! :'''Kakashi''': ...I don't want to kill you. :'''Sasuke''':[''With a maniacal grin on his face''] You act like you can kill me anytime! Stop acting as my sensei! I been dying to kill you, Kakashi...! :'''Sasuke''': [''After Naruto tells him that he will die with him''] What the hell is wrong with you?! Why do care about me so much?! :'''Naruto''': [''Smiles softly''] Because...you're my ''friend''. <hr width="50%"/> ''[During the 4th ninja war]'' :'''Dan Kato''': You sure got big, Choza. :'''Choza''': I'm about to get a hell of a lot bigger. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zabuza''': I should have been sent to hell after your group finished me on that bridge. Next thing I know, I'm standing next to Haku. And I thought something was off... I guess this really '''''isn't''''' hell... or heaven. :'''Kakashi''': No, this is the real world. And none of you belong here anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shikamaru''': We already heard your last words once. Don't say them again, it'll be a real downer. :'''Asuma''': Then let me add to them with something I couldn't say back then: I've got nothing more to say to you three. Your Ino-Shika-Cho formation was perfect. <hr width="50%"/> ''[While Sasuke in pursuit of Edo-Tensei Itachi Uchiha and asking him questions]'' :'''Sasuke''': Why was I the only one?! Why was I the only one to survive!? :'''Itachi''':... :'''Sasuke''': Why only me?! Why am I so different from our parents!? Why just me... :'''Itachi''': You didn't know anything about what was happening at that time...You didn't know anything about the Uchiha Clan's foolish idea...You were just a child. Furthermore, it wasn't for your sake alone...I also thought that I should be judged for the crimes I committed by an Uchiha like you...and for that sake, I used the hatred within you...and that's why I failed. The only thing I did was given you the hatred and making you flee from the village...and as a result, I turned you into a criminal. I wished that you would somehow walk on the right path...and yet...From the moment I died...You are walking on the wrong path...You were enticed into a straight path without branching roads. I wanted to rewrite the indications on your path with lies and efforts. :'''Sasuke''': You wanted me to walk on that path while I was ignorant about the truth?! I don't want to walk on such a path! :'''Itachi''': Yeah...Just as you said...You have to decide the path you wanted to walk. :'''Sasuke''': No matter how you write the indications on that path, I can still see through the changes already! :'''Itachi''': Heh... :'''Sasuke''': What's so funny!? :'''Itachi''': ''[Thinking of Naruto]'' ...Nothing...Not just indications guide you on the path you walk... :'''Sasuke''': ''[Confused]'' Huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Itachi''' (Sensing Sasuke as he confronts Kabuto): Hmph...Things never go as a planned.. Do they. :'''Sasuke''': You always lied...You always told me "later" and "next time"...And then you died. So this time...I'll make sure you keep that promise! <hr width="50%"/> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Madara''': (After finishing the Tsukiyomi) "Naruto... You're getting in the way of everyone's happiness.

Why do you think, that unlike Obito, only you can use everyone else? Why would you be any different?" :'''Madara''': "What are you talking about?!

Thanks for coming back, Little Chef! I know this sounds insane, but... Well the truth sounds insane sometimes, but that doesn't mean it's not. Uh, the truth. And the truth is, I have no talent at all. But this rat, he's the one behind these recipes. He's the cook. The real cook. He’s been hiding under my toque. He's been controlling my actions. He's the reason I can cook the food that's exciting everyone. The reason Ego is outside that door. You've been giving me credit for the gift. I know it's a hard thing to believe. But, hey, you believed I could cook, right? Look, it works. It's crazy, bit it works. We can be the greatest restaurant in Paris, and this rat, this brilliant Little Chef, can lead us there! What do you say? You with me? <hr width=50%> :'''Mustafa''': ''[taking Ego's order]'' Do you know what you’d like this evening, sir? :'''Anton Ego''': Yes, I think I do. After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I'm craving? A little perspective. That's it. I’d like some fresh, clear, well-seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that? :'''Mustafa''': ''[confused]'' With what, sir? :'''Anton Ego''': Perspective. Fresh out, I take it? :'''Mustafa''': I am, uh... :'''Anton Ego''': Very well. Since you're all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this bloody town, I'll make you a deal! You provide the food, I'll provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947. :'''Mustafa''': I'm afraid, um, your dinner selection? :'''Anton Ego''': ''[stands up angrily]'' Tell your chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me.

I've given up. You... are free. :'''Gusteau''': I am only as free as you imagine me to be. As you are. :'''Remy''': Oh, please. I'm sick of pretending. I pretend to be a rat for my father, I pretend to be a human for Linguini. I pretend you exist, so I have someone to talk to! You only tell me stuff I already know! I know who I am!

Steve Barnum|Winston I. Steve Barnum]] _— the chef friendly male == About ''{{PAGENAME}}'' == * I think our goal is to get the impression of something rather than perfect photographic reality. It’s to get the feeling of something so I think that our challenge was the computer basically wants to do things that are clean and perfect and don’t have any history to them. If you want to do something that’s different than that you have to put that information in there and the computer kind of fights you. It really doesn’t want to do that and Paris is a very rich city that has a lot of history to it and it’s lived in. Everything’s beautiful but it’s lived in. It has history to it, so it has imperfections and it’s part of why it’s beautiful is you can feel the history in every little nook and cranny. For us every single bit of that has to be put in there. We can’t go somewhere and film something. If there’s a crack in there, we have to design the crack and if you noticed the tiles on the floor of the restaurant, they’re not perfectly flat, they’re like slightly angled differently, and they catch light differently. Somebody has to sit there and angle them all separately so we had to focus on that a lot. And it was a movie about good food and the food had to look delicious and its data. How do you define what makes food look good. It’s actually a bunch of really subtle little complicated things and everybody worked really hard on it. :* Brad Bird [http://collider.com/brad-bird-interview-ratatouille/] * I entered this movie as director kind of late. I was asked to come on the project a little less than a year and a half ago, so several characters had been cast before I got there. Famous people like Madame Iandore Anna Holm, Brian Dennehy, and Brad Garrett were already on board and there were also some Pixar people who happened to have perfect voices, like Lou Romano who did Linguini. He was production designer on The Incredibles. And Peter Sohn is a young, very gifted story guide and animator who worked on Iron Giant and Incredibles and he did the voice of Emile, who is Remy’s brother. So those guys are in-house and they were already involved in the project and I didn’t see any reason to change what was perfect. I re-cast a couple characters and there was a lot of difficulty in casting Remy and I heard Patton Oswalt on the radio and I thought he’d be perfect. I brought Peter O’Toole on and when I was first writing the character of Anton Ego that was the voice I heard in my mind and I was just hoping that he would say yes and he did. But Janeane Garofalo we cast after I came on and she does Colette and a lot of people can’t even recognize her because she so completely disappears into this role, which is a testament to how great an actress she is, and I’m really happy with the voice track on this film because it put the challenge to the animators to come up to the quality and be inspired by the voices – and I think they did. :* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php] * It was six years ago and you look at the scope of your film and we knew it would be about rats and we knew we needed the rats to be able to move in certain ways. Pixar’s never really done a film with four-legged critters in it to any great extent, so I was excited because some of Disney’s great classical animated films have critters running around like this. We threw down to the tools group, who writes our code because it’s all proprietary software, that we need this to be phenomenal so we actually experimented for about a year in sort of a dead end, but it was always going to be promising and something special. Brad Bird made several things work that weren’t working. We figured that once we got them outfitted correctly with the right technical setup so that they could squash and stretch beyond what’s been done before in animation, that in the hands of a director like Brad who knows animation inside and out, that it would be phenomenal. As far as the food looking great, we hoped we would pull it off and I think we did. I think appetizing food in a film like this is a surprise and if people come out hungry, which I’ve heard has happened, then that’s a testament to that :* Brian Lewis [:* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php]] ==External links== {{wikipedia|Ratatouille (film)}} {{Commons category|Ratatouille (film)}} * {{imdb title|id=0382932|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Imdb title]] on how to get IMDB ID --> * {{rotten-tomatoes|id=ratatouille|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Rotten-tomatoes]] on how to get RT ID --> * The official [http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/ratatouille/ Ratatouille] site [[Category:2007 films]] [[Category:2000s American animated films]] [[te:రాటటౌల్లె (2007 సినిమా)]] [[Category:Best Animated Feature Academy Award winners]] [[Category:American computer-animated films]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy films]] [[Category:Films directed by Brad Bird]] [[Category:Films about rats]] [[Category:Films set in Paris]] k1n5zv8kv0rm3s1abxj4ypwgelswv6x 3147458 3147457 2022-07-26T15:49:48Z 92.6.191.110 Reverted all failboy edits wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ratatouille (film)|Ratatouille]]''''' is a ([[w:2007 in film|2007]]) animated [[w:Disney|Disney]]/[[w:Pixar|Pixar]] film about a rat (Rémy) who longs to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the late Chef Auguste Gusteau — at one time considered to be the greatest chef in Paris.

If you want to do something that’s different than that you have to put that information in there and the computer kind of fights you. It really doesn’t want to do that and Paris is a very rich city that has a lot of history to it and it’s lived in. Everything’s beautiful but it’s lived in. It has history to it, so it has imperfections and it’s part of why it’s beautiful is you can feel the history in every little nook and cranny. For us every single bit of that has to be put in there. We can’t go somewhere and film something. If there’s a crack in there, we have to design the crack and if you noticed the tiles on the floor of the restaurant, they’re not perfectly flat, they’re like slightly angled differently, and they catch light differently. Somebody has to sit there and angle them all separately so we had to focus on that a lot. And it was a movie about good food and the food had to look delicious and its data.

I was asked to come on the project a little less than a year and a half ago, so several characters had been cast before I got there. Famous people like Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, and Brad Garrett were already on board and there were also some Pixar people who happened to have perfect voices, like Lou Romano who did Linguini. He was production designer on The Incredibles. And Pete Sohn is a young, very gifted story guide and animator who worked on Iron Giant and Incredibles and he did the voice of Emile, who is Remy’s brother. So those guys are in-house and they were already involved in the project and I didn’t see any reason to change what was perfect. I re-cast a couple characters and there was a lot of difficulty in casting Remy and I heard Patton Oswalt on the radio and I thought he’d be perfect. I brought Peter O’Toole on and when I was first writing the character of Anton Ego that was the voice I heard in my mind and I was just hoping that he would say yes and he did. But Janeane Garofalo we cast after I came on and she does Colette and a lot of people can’t even recognize her because she so completely disappears into this role, which is a testament to how great an actress she is, and I’m really happy with the voice track on this film because it put the challenge to the animators to come up to the quality and be inspired by the voices – and I think they did. :* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php] * It was six years ago and you look at the scope of your film and we knew it would be about rats and we knew we needed the rats to be able to move in certain ways.

It’s to get the feeling of something so I think that our challenge was the computer basically wants to do things that are clean and perfect and don’t have any history to them. If you want to do something that’s different than that you have to put that information in there and the computer kind of fights you. It really doesn’t want to do that and Paris is a very rich city that has a lot of history to it and it’s lived in. Everything’s beautiful but it’s lived in. It has history to it, so it has imperfections and it’s part of why it’s beautiful is you can feel the history in every little nook and cranny. For us every single bit of that has to be put in there. We can’t go somewhere and film something. If there’s a crack in there, we have to design the crack and if you noticed the tiles on the floor of the restaurant, they’re not perfectly flat, they’re like slightly angled differently, and they catch light differently. Somebody has to sit there and angle them all separately so we had to focus on that a lot. And it was a movie about good food and the food had to look delicious and its data. How do you define what makes food look good. It’s actually a bunch of really subtle little complicated things and everybody worked really hard on it. :* Brad Bird [http://collider.com/brad-bird-interview-ratatouille/] * I entered this movie as director kind of late. I was asked to come on the project a little less than a year and a half ago, so several characters had been cast before I got there. Famous people like Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, and Brad Garrett were already on board and there were also some Pixar people who happened to have perfect voices, like Lou Romano who did Linguini. He was production designer on The Incredibles. And Pete Sohn is a young, very gifted story guide and animator who worked on Iron Giant and Incredibles and he did the voice of Emile, who is Remy’s brother. So those guys are in-house and they were already involved in the project and I didn’t see any reason to change what was perfect. I re-cast a couple characters and there was a lot of difficulty in casting Remy and I heard Patton Oswalt on the radio and I thought he’d be perfect. I brought Peter O’Toole on and when I was first writing the character of Anton Ego that was the voice I heard in my mind and I was just hoping that he would say yes and he did. But Janeane Garofalo we cast after I came on and she does Colette and a lot of people can’t even recognize her because she so completely disappears into this role, which is a testament to how great an actress she is, and I’m really happy with the voice track on this film because it put the challenge to the animators to come up to the quality and be inspired by the voices – and I think they did. :* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php] * It was six years ago and you look at the scope of your film and we knew it would be about rats and we knew we needed the rats to be able to move in certain ways. Pixar’s never really done a film with four-legged critters in it to any great extent, so I was excited because some of Disney’s great classical animated films have critters running around like this. We threw down to the tools group, who writes our code because it’s all proprietary software, that we need this to be phenomenal so we actually experimented for about a year in sort of a dead end, but it was always going to be promising and something special. Brad Bird made several things work that weren’t working. We figured that once we got them outfitted correctly with the right technical setup so that they could squash and stretch beyond what’s been done before in animation, that in the hands of a director like Brad who knows animation inside and out, that it would be phenomenal. As far as the food looking great, we hoped we would pull it off and I think we did. I think appetizing food in a film like this is a surprise and if people come out hungry, which I’ve heard has happened, then that’s a testament to that :* Brian Lewis [:* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php]] ==External links== {{wikipedia|Ratatouille (film)}} {{Commons category|Ratatouille (film)}} * {{imdb title|id=0382932|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Imdb title]] on how to get IMDB ID --> * {{rotten-tomatoes|id=ratatouille|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Rotten-tomatoes]] on how to get RT ID --> * The official [http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/ratatouille/ Ratatouille] site [[Category:2007 films]] [[Category:2000s American animated films]] [[te:రాటటౌల్లె (2007 సినిమా)]] [[Category:Best Animated Feature Academy Award winners]] [[Category:American computer-animated films]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy films]] [[Category:Jan Pinkava films]] [[Category:Food and drink]] [[Category:Films directed by Brad Bird]] s0d9d4zhzycacat7cy03gm6gtsw3jm5 3147540 3147538 2022-07-26T17:29:53Z 205.237.131.3 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ratatouille (film)|Ratatouille]]''''' is a ([[w:2007 in film|2007]]) animated [[w:Disney|Disney]]/[[w:Pixar|Pixar]] film about a rat (Rémy) who longs to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the late Chef Auguste Gusteau — at one time considered to be the greatest chef in Paris.

But Janeane Garofalo we cast after I came on and she does Colette and a lot of people can’t even recognize her because she so completely disappears into this role, which is a testament to how great an actress she is, and I’m really happy with the voice track on this film because it put the challenge to the animators to come up to the quality and be inspired by the voices – and I think they did. :* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php] * It was six years ago and you look at the scope of your film and we knew it would be about rats and we knew we needed the rats to be able to move in certain ways. Pixar’s never really done a film with four-legged critters in it to any great extent, so I was excited because some of Disney’s great classical animated films have critters running around like this. We threw down to the tools group, who writes our code because it’s all proprietary software, that we need this to be phenomenal so we actually experimented for about a year in sort of a dead end, but it was always going to be promising and something special. Brad Bird made several things work that weren’t working. We figured that once we got them outfitted correctly with the right technical setup so that they could squash and stretch beyond what’s been done before in animation, that in the hands of a director like Brad who knows animation inside and out, that it would be phenomenal. As far as the food looking great, we hoped we would pull it off and I think we did. I think appetizing food in a film like this is a surprise and if people come out hungry, which I’ve heard has happened, then that’s a testament to that :* Brian Lewis [:* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php]] ==External links== {{wikipedia|Ratatouille (film)}} {{Commons category|Ratatouille (film)}} * {{imdb title|id=0382932|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Imdb title]] on how to get IMDB ID --> * {{rotten-tomatoes|id=ratatouille|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Rotten-tomatoes]] on how to get RT ID --> * The official [http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/ratatouille/ Ratatouille] site [[Category:2007 films]] [[Category:2000s American animated films]] [[te:రాటటౌల్లె (2007 సినిమా)]] [[Category:Best Animated Feature Academy Award winners]] [[Category:American computer-animated films]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy films]] [[Category:Jan Pinkava films]] [[Category:Food and drink]] [[Category:Films directed by Brad Bird]] knp2ednws1ea38hwsvxav5wugbx58q1 3147541 3147540 2022-07-26T17:30:53Z 205.237.131.3 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ratatouille (film)|Ratatouille]]''''' is a ([[w:2007 in film|2007]]) animated [[w:Disney|Disney]]/[[w:Pixar|Pixar]] film about a rat (Rémy) who longs to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the late Chef Auguste Gusteau — at one time considered to be the greatest chef in Paris.

Probably forever. :'''Gusteau''': How do you know? :'''Remy''': I ... uh ... ''[catches himself with a scoff]'' ''You'' are an illustration. Why am I ''talking'' to you? :'''Gusteau''': Oh, you just lost your family, all your friends. You are lonely. :'''Remy''': Yeah ... well, ''you're'' dead. :'''Gusteau''': Ah, but that is no match for wishful thinking!

Food always comes to those who love to cook. :''[Gusteau's image disappears into the bread crumb]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Remy''': The sous is responsible for the kitchen when the chef's not around.

Now, who is that? :''[He points to Linguini, who's clumsily cleaning up the kitchen]'' :'''Remy''': Oh, him? He’s nobody. :'''Gusteau''': Not nobody. He is part of the kitchen. :'''Remy''': No, he’s a ''plongeur'' or something. He washes dishes or takes out the garbage. He doesn’t cook. :'''Gusteau''': But he ''could''. :'''Remy''': ''[dismissively]'' Uh, no. :'''Gusteau''': How do you know? What do I always say, Remy?

Anyone else? Hmm... Then back to work! You are either very lucky or very unlucky. You will make the soup again, and this time I’ll be paying attention. Very close attention.

He just wants me to ''think'' that it is! O-ho, I see the theatricality of it! A rat appears on the boy's first night, I order him to kill it, and now he wants me to see it ''everywhere''! ''[high voice]'' Ooooh! It's here! No it isn't, it's here! Am I seeing things, am I crazy, is there a phantom rat or is there not?! But oh, no!

Just tell us what you did! :'''Linguini''': I don't ''know'' what I did! :'''Horst''': We need to tell the customers ''recipes''! :'''Linguini''': Then tell them... tell them... AAAH! :''[Linguini flees the kitchen]'' :'''Larousse''': ...Eh? :'''Django''': Remy. :'''Emile''': Don’t do it. :'''Django''': Remy! Don’t! Stop! :'''Emile''': They'll see you. Stop. :'''Horst''': We’re not talking about me. We’re talking about what to do right... :'''Chefs''': RATS! :'''Django''': Remy! :'''Horst''': Get my knife! :'''Linguini''': Don't touch him! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mustafa''': ''[taking Ego's order]'' Do you know what you'd like this evening, sir? :'''Anton Ego''': Yes, I think I do. After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I'm craving? A little perspective. That's it. I'd like some fresh, clear, well-seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that? :'''Mustafa''': ''[confused]'' With what, sir? :'''Anton Ego''': Perspective. Fresh out, I take it? :'''Mustafa''': I am, uh... :'''Anton Ego''': Very well. Since you're all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this ''BLOODY town'', I'll make you a deal. ''You'' provide the food, ''I'll'' provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947. :'''Mustafa''': I'm afraid... your dinner selection? :'''Anton Ego''': ''[stands up angrily]'' Tell your chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me. Tell him to ''hit'' me with his best ''SHOT''. :''[Skinner is in disguise nearby and speaks to his waiter]'' :'''Skinner''': ''[in a lower and gruff voice]'' I will 'ave whatever 'e is having. :'''Gusteau''': ''[Remy is locked in a cage]'' So, we have given up. :'''Remy''': Why do you say that? :'''Gusteau''': We are in a cage, inside a car trunk, awaiting a future in frozen food products. :'''Remy''': No, I'm the one in a cage. I've given up. You… are free. :'''Gusteau''': I am only as free as you imagine me to be. As you are. :'''Remy''': Oh, please. I'm sick of pretending.

Steve Barnum|Winston I. Steve Barnum]] — the chef friendly male == About ''{{PAGENAME}}'' == * I think our goal is to get the impression of something rather than perfect photographic reality. It’s to get the feeling of something so I think that our challenge was the computer basically wants to do things that are clean and perfect and don’t have any history to them. If you want to do something that’s different than that you have to put that information in there and the computer kind of fights you. It really doesn’t want to do that and Paris is a very rich city that has a lot of history to it and it’s lived in. Everything’s beautiful but it’s lived in. It has history to it, so it has imperfections and it’s part of why it’s beautiful is you can feel the history in every little nook and cranny. For us every single bit of that has to be put in there. We can’t go somewhere and film something. If there’s a crack in there, we have to design the crack and if you noticed the tiles on the floor of the restaurant, they’re not perfectly flat, they’re like slightly angled differently, and they catch light differently. Somebody has to sit there and angle them all separately so we had to focus on that a lot. And it was a movie about good food and the food had to look delicious and its data. How do you define what makes food look good. It’s actually a bunch of really subtle little complicated things and everybody worked really hard on it. :* Brad Bird [http://collider.com/brad-bird-interview-ratatouille/] * I entered this movie as director kind of late. I was asked to come on the project a little less than a year and a half ago, so several characters had been cast before I got there. Famous people like Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, and Brad Garrett were already on board and there were also some Pixar people who happened to have perfect voices, like Lou Romano who did Linguini. He was production designer on The Incredibles. And Pete Sohn is a young, very gifted story guide and animator who worked on Iron Giant and Incredibles and he did the voice of Emile, who is Remy’s brother. So those guys are in-house and they were already involved in the project and I didn’t see any reason to change what was perfect. I re-cast a couple characters and there was a lot of difficulty in casting Remy and I heard Patton Oswalt on the radio and I thought he’d be perfect. I brought Peter O’Toole on and when I was first writing the character of Anton Ego that was the voice I heard in my mind and I was just hoping that he would say yes and he did.

''You'' provide the food, ''I'll'' provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947. :'''Mustafa''': I'm afraid... your dinner selection? :'''Anton Ego''': ''[stands up angrily]'' Tell your chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me.

It’s to get the feeling of something so I think that our challenge was the computer basically wants to do things that are clean and perfect and don’t have any history to them. If you want to do something that’s different than that you have to put that information in there and the computer kind of fights you. It really doesn’t want to do that and Paris is a very rich city that has a lot of history to it and it’s lived in. Everything’s beautiful but it’s lived in. It has history to it, so it has imperfections and it’s part of why it’s beautiful is you can feel the history in every little nook and cranny. For us every single bit of that has to be put in there. We can’t go somewhere and film something. If there’s a crack in there, we have to design the crack and if you noticed the tiles on the floor of the restaurant, they’re not perfectly flat, they’re like slightly angled differently, and they catch light differently. Somebody has to sit there and angle them all separately so we had to focus on that a lot. And it was a movie about good food and the food had to look delicious and its data. How do you define what makes food look good. It’s actually a bunch of really subtle little complicated things and everybody worked really hard on it. :* Brad Bird [http://collider.com/brad-bird-interview-ratatouille/] * I entered this movie as director kind of late. I was asked to come on the project a little less than a year and a half ago, so several characters had been cast before I got there. Famous people like Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, and Brad Garrett were already on board and there were also some Pixar people who happened to have perfect voices, like Lou Romano who did Linguini. He was production designer on The Incredibles. And Pete Sohn is a young, very gifted story guide and animator who worked on Iron Giant and Incredibles and he did the voice of Emile, who is Remy’s brother. So those guys are in-house and they were already involved in the project and I didn’t see any reason to change what was perfect. I re-cast a couple characters and there was a lot of difficulty in casting Remy and I heard Patton Oswalt on the radio and I thought he’d be perfect. I brought Peter O’Toole on and when I was first writing the character of Anton Ego that was the voice I heard in my mind and I was just hoping that he would say yes and he did. But Janeane Garofalo we cast after I came on and she does Colette and a lot of people can’t even recognize her because she so completely disappears into this role, which is a testament to how great an actress she is, and I’m really happy with the voice track on this film because it put the challenge to the animators to come up to the quality and be inspired by the voices – and I think they did. :* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php] * It was six years ago and you look at the scope of your film and we knew it would be about rats and we knew we needed the rats to be able to move in certain ways. Pixar’s never really done a film with four-legged critters in it to any great extent, so I was excited because some of Disney’s great classical animated films have critters running around like this. We threw down to the tools group, who writes our code because it’s all proprietary software, that we need this to be phenomenal so we actually experimented for about a year in sort of a dead end, but it was always going to be promising and something special. Brad Bird made several things work that weren’t working. We figured that once we got them outfitted correctly with the right technical setup so that they could squash and stretch beyond what’s been done before in animation, that in the hands of a director like Brad who knows animation inside and out, that it would be phenomenal. As far as the food looking great, we hoped we would pull it off and I think we did. I think appetizing food in a film like this is a surprise and if people come out hungry, which I’ve heard has happened, then that’s a testament to that :* Brian Lewis [:* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php]] ==External links== {{wikipedia|Ratatouille (film)}} {{Commons category|Ratatouille (film)}} * {{imdb title|id=0382932|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Imdb title]] on how to get IMDB ID --> * {{rotten-tomatoes|id=ratatouille|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Rotten-tomatoes]] on how to get RT ID --> * The official [http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/ratatouille/ Ratatouille] site [[Category:2007 films]] [[Category:2000s American animated films]] [[te:రాటటౌల్లె (2007 సినిమా)]] [[Category:Best Animated Feature Academy Award winners]] [[Category:American computer-animated films]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy films]] [[Category:Jan Pinkava films]] [[Category:Food and drink]] [[Category:Films directed by Brad Bird]] 3ktrpljmogl75r3corx9ypeskdpcdyi 3147544 3147542 2022-07-26T17:33:35Z 205.237.131.3 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ratatouille (film)|Ratatouille]]''''' is a ([[w:2007 in film|2007]]) animated [[w:Disney|Disney]]/[[w:Pixar|Pixar]] film about a rat (Rémy) who longs to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the late Chef Auguste Gusteau — at one time considered to be the greatest chef in Paris.

It’s to get the feeling of something so I think that our challenge was the computer basically wants to do things that are clean and perfect and don’t have any history to them. If you want to do something that’s different than that you have to put that information in there and the computer kind of fights you. It really doesn’t want to do that and Paris is a very rich city that has a lot of history to it and it’s lived in. Everything’s beautiful but it’s lived in. It has history to it, so it has imperfections and it’s part of why it’s beautiful is you can feel the history in every little nook and cranny. For us every single bit of that has to be put in there. We can’t go somewhere and film something. If there’s a crack in there, we have to design the crack and if you noticed the tiles on the floor of the restaurant, they’re not perfectly flat, they’re like slightly angled differently, and they catch light differently. Somebody has to sit there and angle them all separately so we had to focus on that a lot. And it was a movie about good food and the food had to look delicious and its data. How do you define what makes food look good. It’s actually a bunch of really subtle little complicated things and everybody worked really hard on it. :* Brad Bird [http://collider.com/brad-bird-interview-ratatouille/] * I entered this movie as director kind of late. I was asked to come on the project a little less than a year and a half ago, so several characters had been cast before I got there. Famous people like Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy, and Brad Garrett were already on board and there were also some Pixar people who happened to have perfect voices, like Lou Romano who did Linguini. He was production designer on The Incredibles. And Pete Sohn is a young, very gifted story guide and animator who worked on Iron Giant and Incredibles and he did the voice of Emile, who is Remy’s brother. So those guys are in-house and they were already involved in the project and I didn’t see any reason to change what was perfect. I re-cast a couple characters and there was a lot of difficulty in casting Remy and I heard Patton Oswalt on the radio and I thought he’d be perfect. I brought Peter O’Toole on and when I was first writing the character of Anton Ego that was the voice I heard in my mind and I was just hoping that he would say yes and he did. But Janeane Garofalo we cast after I came on and she does Colette and a lot of people can’t even recognize her because she so completely disappears into this role, which is a testament to how great an actress she is, and I’m really happy with the voice track on this film because it put the challenge to the animators to come up to the quality and be inspired by the voices – and I think they did. :* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php] * It was six years ago and you look at the scope of your film and we knew it would be about rats and we knew we needed the rats to be able to move in certain ways. Pixar’s never really done a film with four-legged critters in it to any great extent, so I was excited because some of Disney’s great classical animated films have critters running around like this. We threw down to the tools group, who writes our code because it’s all proprietary software, that we need this to be phenomenal so we actually experimented for about a year in sort of a dead end, but it was always going to be promising and something special. Brad Bird made several things work that weren’t working. We figured that once we got them outfitted correctly with the right technical setup so that they could squash and stretch beyond what’s been done before in animation, that in the hands of a director like Brad who knows animation inside and out, that it would be phenomenal. As far as the food looking great, we hoped we would pull it off and I think we did. I think appetizing food in a film like this is a surprise and if people come out hungry, which I’ve heard has happened, then that’s a testament to that :* Brian Lewis [:* Brad Bird [http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/interviews/2008/interview_ratatouille1.php]] ==External links== {{wikipedia|Ratatouille (film)}} {{Commons category|Ratatouille (film)}} * {{imdb title|id=0382932|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Imdb title]] on how to get IMDB ID --> * {{rotten-tomatoes|id=ratatouille|title=Ratatouille}} <!-- see [[Template:Rotten-tomatoes]] on how to get RT ID --> * The official [http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/ratatouille/ Ratatouille] site [[Category:2007 films]] [[Category:2000s American animated films]] [[te:రాటటౌల్లె (2007 సినిమా)]] [[Category:Best Animated Feature Academy Award winners]] [[Category:American computer-animated films]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy films]] [[Category:Jan Pinkava films]] [[Category:Food and drink]] [[Category:Films directed by Brad Bird]] 3htzs7cpfefv44c4ifv2m3vq1pui76t 3147704 3147702 2022-07-26T20:04:33Z 205.237.131.3 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ratatouille (film)|Ratatouille]]''''' is a ([[w:2007 in film|2007]]) animated [[w:Disney|Disney]]/[[w:Pixar|Pixar]] film about a rat (Rémy) who longs to follow in the footsteps of his hero, the late Chef Auguste Gusteau — at one time considered to be the greatest chef in Paris. After discovering an unusual way through which he can control the actions of the hapless Linguini, who was working as a garbage boy in the kitchen of Gusteau's restaurant at the time, he is given the ultimate opportunity to show the world what he can do. :''Written and Directed by [[Brad Bird]].'' {{center|'''He's dying to become a chef.'''<small>([[#Taglines|taglines]])</small>}} == Dialogue == :''[After Remy's been separated from his colony]'' :'''Remy''': ''[voiceover]'' I waited. For a sound. A voice. A sign. ''Something''. :''[Remy is reading Gusteau's 'Anyone Can Cook'. He stops on a page with food on it, causing his stomach to grumble. He turns away, shielding the image of food from his view]'' :'''Gusteau''': ''[as a book illustration]'' If you are hungry, go up and look around, Remy. :''[Remy is shocked to hear this. He looks under the page Gusteau's image is under.]'' :'''Gusteau''': Why do you wait and mope? :'''Remy''': Well, I just lost my family ... all my friends. Probably forever. :'''Gusteau''': How do you know? :'''Remy''': I ... uh ... ''[catches himself with a scoff]'' ''You'' are an illustration. Why am I ''talking'' to you? :'''Gusteau''': Oh, you just lost your family, all your friends. You are lonely. :'''Remy''': Yeah ... well, ''you're'' dead. :'''Gusteau''': Ah, but that is no match for wishful thinking! If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead. Now go up and look around! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Remy's about to eat a bread crumb in someone's house when Gusteau appears before him.]'' :'''Gusteau''': What are you doing?! :'''Remy''': ''[Sighs]'' I'm ''hungry''! I don't know ''where'' I am, I don't know ''when'' I'll find food again! :'''Gusteau''': Rémy, you are better than that. You are a cook! A cook ''makes''; a thief ''takes''. You are not a thief. :'''Remy''': But I ''am'' hungry. :'''Gusteau''': ''[chuckles]'' Food will come, Remy. Food always comes to those who love to cook. :''[Gusteau's image disappears into the bread crumb]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Remy''': The sous is responsible for the kitchen when the chef's not around. Saucier, in charge of sauces. Very important. Chef de partie, demi chef de partie, both important. Commis, commis, they're cooks. Very important. :'''Gusteau''': Ah, you are a clever rat. Now, who is that? :''[He points to Linguini, who's clumsily cleaning up the kitchen]'' :'''Remy''': Oh, him? He’s nobody. :'''Gusteau''': Not nobody. He is part of the kitchen. :'''Remy''': No, he’s a ''plongeur'' or something. He washes dishes or takes out the garbage. He doesn’t cook. :'''Gusteau''': But he ''could''. :'''Remy''': ''[dismissively]'' Uh, no. :'''Gusteau''': How do you know? What do I always say, Remy? Anyone can cook. :'''Remy''': Well yeah, anyone ''can''. That doesn't mean that anyone ''should''. :'''Gusteau''': Well, that is not stopping him. See? :''[Linguini has accidentally spilt a pot of soup and is attempting to cover up his mistake by throwing random ingredients into it.]'' :'''Remy''': What?! What is he doing?! No ...''NO''! No, this is terrible; he's ... ''RUINING THE SOUP''! A-and nobody's ''noticing''?! ''[to Gusteau]'' It's ''your'' restaurant! Do something! :'''Gusteau''': What can ''I'' do?

He has taken a bold risk, and we should reward that, as Chef Gusteau would have. If he wishes to swim in dangerous waters, who are we to deny him. :'''Gusteau''': You were escaping? :'''Remy''': Oh, yeah. :'''Skinner''': Since you have expressed such an interest in his cooking career, you shall be responsible for it.

([[#Taglines|taglines]])}} ==Narrator== * This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever.&nbsp; There was a time not so long ago when [[w:domestic pigs|pig]]s were afforded no respect, except by other pigs.&nbsp; They lived their whole lives in a cruel and sunless world.&nbsp; In those days, pigs believed that the sooner they grew large and fat, the sooner they would have to be taken to Pig Paradise—a place so wonderful that no pig had ever thought to come back. * There are many perfectly nice cats in the world, but every barrel has its bad apples, and so it is well for everyone to pay attention to the old adage:&nbsp; "Beware of the bad cat holding a grudge." *[''as the crowd cheers for Babe's remarkable performance at the sheepdog trials'']&nbsp; And so it was that in all the celebration, in all the hubbub of noise and excitement, there were two figures who stood silent and still.&nbsp; Side by side. ==Farmer Arthur H. Hoggett== *''If I had words to make a day for you<br> I'd sing you a morning golden and true<br> I would make this day last for all time<br>Then fill the night deep in moonshine'' *[''repeated line'']&nbsp; "That'll do, pig. That'll do". ==Ferdinand the Duck== * Christmas dinner, yeah.&nbsp; Dinner means death.&nbsp; Death means carnage!&nbsp; ''Christmas means carnage!&nbsp; Christmas means carnage!'' * The fear's too much for a duck.&nbsp; It—it eats away at the soul!&nbsp; There must be kinder dispositions in far-off, gentler lands. * [''laughs in joy''] The pig did it!&nbsp; The pig did it!&nbsp; The perfect score! ==Fly the Border Collie== * The Bosses only eat stupid animals like sheep and ducks and chickens. * ''[to Babe]'' It's only your first try. But you're treating them like equals. They're sheep; they're inferior. ==Others== *'''Maa''': ''[about Babe]'' You see, ladies? A heart of gold. *'''Sheep's password''': Baa-ram-ewe. Baa-ram-ewe. To your breed, your fleece, your clan be true. Sheep be true. Baa-ram-ewe. *'''Sheep''': ''[to Babe]'' Well, I wouldn't call that a bite myself. You got teeth in that floppy mouth of yours or just gums? ==Dialogue== :'''Puppy''': It does look stupid, Mom. :'''Fly the Border Collie''': Not as stupid as sheep, mind you, but pigs are definitely stupid. :'''Babe''': [''clears throat''] Excuse me. No, we're not. :'''Fly''': Good heavens! Who are you? :'''Babe''': I'm a Large White. :'''Fly''': Yes, that's your breed, dear. What's your name? :'''Babe''': I don't know. :'''Fly''': Well, what did your mother call you to tell you apart from your brothers and sisters? :'''Babe''': Our Mom called us all the same. :'''Fly''': And what was that, dear? :'''Babe''': She called us all "''Babe''." :'''Horse''': ''[neighs]'' Perhaps we shouldn't talk too much about, uh, family. ''[whinnies]'' :'''Babe''': ''[sobbing]'' I want my Mom. ''[crying]'' :'''Fly''': ''[stares at Babe, then goes up to him]'' There, there...you've got to be a brave boy, now. I left my mother when I was your age, and my puppies will have to leave me soon. But I'll keep the eyes on you, if you like, just till you find your feet. ''[Rex shows up, sees Babe]'' The little pig's a bit low. He's going to sleep with us, just till he finds his feet. :'''Rex''': ''[whimpers]'' Until he finds his feet. ''[leaves]'' :'''Puppy''': But, Mom, he'll wet the bed? :'''Fly''': Shh, listen. ''[to Babe]'' If you do want to do anything, you'll go outside, won't you? Good boy. <hr width=50%> :'''Ferdinand''': Humans eat ''ducks''! :'''Babe''': ''[gasping]'' I beg your pardon? :'''Ferdinand''': Ah, most ducks prefer to forget it, but the fact is that humans like to eat ''plump, attractive ducks''. :'''Babe''': Ohhh, I don't think so. Not the Boss; not the Boss's wife. :'''Ferdinand''': Oh, come on. Humans don't eat cats—why? :'''Babe''': Well, they're... :'''Ferdinand''': They're indispensable—they catch mice. Humans don't eat roosters—why? They make eggs with the chickens and the hens and wake everyone up in the morning. :'''Babe''': Right... :'''Ferdinand''': I tried it with the hens; it didn't work. So I turned to crowing, and lo! I discover my gift! But no sooner do I become indispensable than they bring in a machine to do the job! Ohhhh-oh-oh, the treachery of it!—''a mechanical rooster!'' :'''Babe''': Oh dear me… :'''Ferdinand''': Oh, dear ''you''?! ''[sighs/quacks]'' I suppose the life of an anorexic duck doesn't amount to much in the broad scheme of things. But, Pig, I'm all I've got! :'''Babe''': Why do you want me to do it? :'''Ferdinand''': ''[sighs/quacks]'' Because...I'm allergic to cats. :'''Babe''': Oh. :'''Ferdinand''': They make me sneeze. :'''Babe''': Oh. Don't worry, I won't wake up the cat. <hr width=50%> :'''Fly''': Rex? I know it was hard for you today, watching all that happening. But surely it's not worth all this misery. Please, dear.

I got a bit carried away. It's a cat thing. :'''Babe''': Oh, well, but... :'''Duchess''': Feeling good about tomorrow, are you? :'''Babe''': Mm-hmm. It should be all right, I think. :'''Duchess''': You know, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm not sure if you realize how much the other animals are laughing at you for this sheepdog business. :'''Babe''': Why would they do that? :'''Duchess''': Well, they say you've forgotten that you're a pig. Isn't that silly? They say you don't even know what pigs are for. :'''Babe''': What do you mean? :'''Duchess''': You know, why pigs are here. :'''Babe''': Why are any of us here? :'''Duchess''': Well, the cows are here to be milked. The dogs are here to help the Boss's husband with the sheep. I am here to be beautiful and affectionate to the Boss. :'''Babe''': Yes? :'''Duchess''': ''[sighs softly]'' The fact is that pigs don't have a purpose. Just like…ducks don't have a purpose. :'''Babe''': I—I don't, uh... :'''Duchess''': Alright, for your sake, I'll be blunt. Why do the Bosses keep ducks? To eat them. So why do the Bosses keep a pig? The fact is that animals who don't seem to have a purpose a purpose really do have a purpose. The Bosses have to eat. It's probably the most noble purpose of all when you come to think about it. :'''Babe''': ''[horrified]'' They ''eat'' pigs? :'''Duchess''': Pork, they call it. Or bacon. They only call them pigs when they're still ''alive''. :'''Babe''': ''[frightened]'' But, uh, I'm a sheep pig. :'''Duchess''': ''[giggles]'' The Boss's husband is just playing a little game with you. Believe me, sooner or later, every pig gets eaten. That's how the world works. Oh, I haven't upset you, have I? ''[chuckles softly]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Fly''': Babe? Babe? ''[rushes out of the barn, then she runs around the house]'' Babe? Babe? ''[Rex is shown under the wagon watching Fly calling Babe and she approaches him, informing of what Duchess has done to Babe]'' Babe's run away! Rex? Please? :'''Rex''': ''[regrets at what he had done earlier and changed his heart, gets up]'' Call the boss. :''[Fly then barks at the window to alert Arthur of Babe run away, then they are shown following Babe's tracks and Rex rushes forward and finds Babe in the graveyard, shivering from the rain]'' :'''Rex''': He's over here! Hold on, pig. You'll be home soon. :''[Fly and Arthur approach him ready to bring him back home]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Fly''': If those sheep won't talk to Babe, the boss is going to look like an idiot. I don't know what to do. :'''Rex''': There's only one thing. ''[Fly tries to speak, but is cut off]'' I've got to go! I'll try to be back in time. :''[runs off, as Arthur looks on with concern]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Narrator''': ''[the crowd cheers at Babe's performance]'' And so it was that in all the celebration, in all the hubbub of noise and excitement, there were two figures who stood silent and still. Side by side. :'''Ferdinand''': ''[rooster crows]'' Ha, ha, ha, ha! The pig did it! The pig did it! The perfect score! ''[laughs]'' :'''Mice''': Whoo! Whoo-hoo! Yippee! Yippee! Yippee! :'''Narrator''': And though every single human in the stands or in the commentary boxes was at a complete loss for words, the man who in his life had uttered fewer words than any of them knew exactly what to say. :'''Farmer Hoggett''': ''[to Babe; last lines]'' That'll do, pig.

Tell us engineers the desired ‘specs’ and the timeline, and we’ll get the job done.” This is not bravado.... The next big act belongs to the engineers.

Forensic anthropologist Dr. [[w:Temperance Brennan|Temperance Brennan]] has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her in to assist with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned, or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless. == Season 1 == === [[w:Pilot (Bones)|''Pilot'' [1.1]]] === :'''[[w:Temperance Brennan (Bones)|Brennan]]''': Tell me you tried "excuse me" first. :'''[[w:Angela Montenegro|Angela]]''': Ah, sweetie. Yes, I did. Welcome home. Are you exhausted? Was Guatemala awful? Was it horribly backward? :'''Brennan''': And yet, I was never reduced to flashing my boobs for information. :'''Angela''': Flash 'em for any fun reasons? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': You know, diving headfirst in a pit of cadavers is no way to handle a messy breakup. :'''Brennan''': Angela, nothing Pete and I ever did was messy. :'''Angela''': ''[laughs]'' Then you weren't doing the right things. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Seeley Booth|Booth]]''': Bones identifies bodies for us. :'''Brennan''': Don't call me "Bones," and I do more than identify. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': A decomposed corpse was found this morning at Arlington National Cemetery. :'''Brennan''': Arlington National Cemetery is full of decomposed corpses. It's a cemetery. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to Booth]'' If you drive one more block, I'm screaming "kidnap" out the window. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, you're not the only forensic anthropologist in town. :'''Brennan''': ''[laughs]'' Yes, I am. The next university is in Montreal. ''Parlez-vous français''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': What's it going to take? :'''Brennan''': Full participation in the case. :'''Booth''': Fine. :'''Brennan''': Not just lab work. Everything. :'''Booth''': What? You want me to spit in my hand? We're [[The X-Files|Scully and Mulder]]. :'''Brennan''': I don't know what that means. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': He's got no sense of discretion, that kid. Typical squint. :'''Brennan''': I don't know what that means. :'''Booth''': Cops get stuck, we bring in people like you. You know, squints. You know, squint at things. :'''Brennan''': Oh, you mean people with very high IQs and basic reasoning skills? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[looking at the screen]'' What exactly am I supposed to be squinting at? :'''Booth''': It's like pornography, you'll know it when you see it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': When did she die? :'''Brennan''': Eh. :'''Zack''': Eh. :'''Booth''': What does that even mean? :'''Zack''': It means "wait until our bug and slime guy takes a look." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, in my line of work, no clothes usually means a sex crime. :'''Brennan''': In my line of work, it could also mean the victim favored natural fibers. :'''[[w:Zack Addy|Zack]]''': Your suit, for example, will outlast your bones by decades. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Goodman''': I do not view you as property, Dr. Brennan. You are one of the Jeffersonian's most valuable assets. :'''Zack''': An asset is, by definition, property. :'''Goodman''': What's the rule, Mr. Addy? :'''Zack''': You only converse with PhDs. You do realize I'm halfway through two doctorates. Two halves make a whole, so mathematically speaking... :'''Goodman''': Go polish a bone, Mr. Addy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Goodman''': Dr. Brennan, are you playing me? :'''Brennan''': You know I'm no good at that. :'''Goodman''': Hmm. Thus far. But you have a disturbingly steep learning curve. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Split the difference, mixed race. :'''Angela''': [[w:Lenny Kravitz|Lenny Kravitz]] or [[w:Vanessa Williams|Vanessa Williams]]? :'''Brennan''': I don't know what that means. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Her name is Cleo Louise Eller. The only daughter to Ted and Sharon Eller. Last seen approximately nine p.m., April 6th, 2003, leaving the cardio-deluxe gym on Kay Street. She didn't even make it to her car. :'''Brennan''': Pretty good memory. :'''Booth''': Yeah, well, it's my job to find her. :'''Hodgins''': Well, in that case, congratulations on your success. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': A case this big, the director is going to create a special investigation unit. And if I line my ducks up in a row, I can, maybe, head it up. :'''Brennan''': I don't know what that means, but I think maybe I can be a duck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': What are you trying to do? :'''Brennan''': Blackmail you. :'''Booth''': Blackmail a federal agent. :'''Brennan''': Yes. :'''Booth''': I don't like it. :'''Brennan''': I'm fairly certain you're not supposed to. :'''Booth''': Fine. You're in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What if Booth is right? What if I'm only good with bones and lousy with people? :'''Angela''': People like you. :'''Brennan''': I don't care if men like me. :'''Angela''': Okay, interesting jump from 'people' to 'men,' but I'm sure it means nothing. :'''Brennan''': I hate psychology. My most meaningful relationships are with dead people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Temperance, partners share things. Builds trust. :'''Brennan''': Since when are we partners? :'''Booth''': I apologize for the assumption. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oliver''': He killed Cleo? :'''Booth''': Yeah, he did. :'''Oliver''': Then I'm down with him bleeding to death. :'''Booth''': That guy bleeds to death, Bones will go on trial for attempted murder. You don't want that, do you? :'''Oliver''': No. :'''Booth''': Plus, I understand that applying pressure to a wound can be extremely painful. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Is the FBI going to lay charges against Brennan? :'''Hodgins''': She only shot him in the leg... once. :'''Booth''': She didn't give him a warning. She just shot him... with alcohol on her breath. :'''Goodman''': It was her first shooting, you can't expect her to be perfect right out of the gate. :'''Zack''': How much warning did you give people before you sniped them? === [[w:The Man in the S.U.V.|''The Man in the S.U.V.'' [1.2]]] === <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': If Smokey here had access to the president, why would he attack a café? :'''Brennan''': "Smokey"? :'''Zack''': It's how I deal with stress. :'''Hodgins''': Targeting everyday places causes panic. People stay home, the economy is crippled. It's Terrorism 101, man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': Isn't that the FBI's job? :'''Hodgins''': What, you trust the FBI? You realize those guys are gonna suppress whatever they need to cover their asses! :'''Zack''': ''[to Brennan]'' I found a portion of the clavicle. :'''Hodgins''': Are you even listening? :'''Zack''': No. :'''Hodgins''': They have a separate division, you know. That way their hands are always clean. In 1970... :'''Brennan''': Jack! We're trying to work! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Someone seems really defensive about the FBI lately. You realize Booth is just another government stooge? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': We're dealing with someone here who devalues an entire culture, terrorizing people by using God to justify mass murder. :'''Brennan''': You're making it personal. That doesn't help. :'''Booth''': It ''is'' personal, Bones. All of us die a little bit on one like this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Agent Gibson''': Dr. Brennan, whatever you have there&mdash; :'''Brennan''': It's a piece of paper. That's all. With some writing on it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[to Brennan]'' I think [Booth] likes you. God, if I were you, I'd buy a ticket on that ride. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Too bad we can't tell why he did it. Isn't that what we all want to know? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Agent Gibson''': Dr. Brennan, I have jurisdiction. :'''Brennan''': Then why don't I destroy my notes and let you guarantee the identity of the remains? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I was just studying a cranial fissure on a corporate attorney last week. Of course, he was dead, so... :'''Tessa''': Interesting. :'''Brennan''': Thanks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, what's so funny? :'''Brennan''': I just never figured you being in a relationship. :'''Booth''': Why? Do you think something's wrong with me? :'''Brennan''': Not wrong. You just have alpha male attributes usually associated with a solitary existence. :'''Booth''': What, me? You're solitary. :'''Brennan''': No, no, I'm private. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': He thinks just because Masruk's wife started working out and had a little makeover, she's having an affair. :'''Angela''': Hmm, and how long were they married? :'''Booth''': Eleven years. :'''Angela''': I'm with him. :'''Brennan''': There's no concrete proof. :'''Angela''': Boobs perkier? :'''Booth''': Mmm-hmm. :'''Brennan''': I don't believe this. If you're so sure, then why didn't you confront her? :'''Angela''': Because if she and her boyfriend were involved, she would warn him. :'''Booth''': Very good. :'''Angela''': I'm a constant surprise. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[to Booth]'' So, how many nights a week does "Sexy" sleep over? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I graduated top of my class, Rhodes Scholar, the youngest member inducted into the Academy of Physical Sciences, but [Brennan] still makes me feel like a cretin. :'''Zack''': ''[smugly]'' She apologized to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Apparently, they live together a few times a week. But he made it very clear that she has her own place. :'''Zack''': Should you be intruding in their lives like this? :'''Angela''': Oh yeah. Absolutely. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[referring to Brennan]'' Please, she's been sleeping alone for months! She has enough pent-up sexual energy to power a small Midwestern city. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Can we talk about something else? :'''Brennan''': Sure. Tessa? :'''Booth''': Tessa?! No. Why do you want to talk about Tessa? :'''Brennan''': What? Why? Why not? We won't talk about Tessa. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': We'll find out who killed him, Booth. We've got Hamid's body. You can always count on the dead. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Isn't the FBI working on that? :'''Hodgins''': Yes. It's just for fun. :'''Brennan''': To see who's better? :'''Hodgins''': Maybe. A little. Yeah. :'''Brennan''': Good luck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': There is trouble in paradise! :'''Brennan''': I beg your pardon? :'''Angela''': Tessa does not feel secure in that relationship. I think she's threatened by you! :'''Brennan''': You ''talked'' to her? :'''Angela''': Well, she didn't say much, but even though she has a phenomenal figure, she was chowing down on a fat-free muffin, and she was reading a book about unsolved FBI cases. Ah... She's obviously feeling insecure. :'''Hodgins''': She's ''spying'' for you? :'''Brennan''': No, no! :'''Zack''': They have nothing in common. It's difficult to sublimate intense sexual attraction. And we hear it's been a while. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Trying to track down the doctor? :'''Brennan''': Don't need him. It's definitely a toxin, but we can't determine what kind. :'''Zack''': Too bad the liver is cooked. That could tell us everything. :'''Booth''': You know, I need subtitles walking in here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': ''[about his ''[[w:Dermestes maculatus|Dermestes maculatus]]'' beetles]'' You can't kill them, they have names. === ''The Boy in the Tree'' [1.3] === :'''Zack''': She said take a hint, but when I asked "what hint?" Naomi said if she told me what hint that it wouldn't be a hint anymore, it would be a statement. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': I understood the individual words but I do not comprehend her meaning. :'''Angela''': Did you tell Naomi that? :'''Zack''': Yes. She said ask your friends if I have any. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You want to increase the perimeter here? Gentleman, give my forensic anthropologist some room. :'''Brennan''': "Your" forensic anthropologist? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Ah, you know, I'm glad we had that little chat about being nice to the locals. :'''Brennan''': I don't like sheriffs. They are elected into office, which means their goal is being re-elected, not finding the truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Can you identify him through the serial number? :'''Brennan''': That's correct, but the interesting thing is that... :'''Booth''': Ah, you can fill me in later. :'''Brennan''': No, but the interesting thing is that it's... :'''Booth''': That is correct. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': That is interesting. :'''Brennan''': Are you drunk or something? :'''Booth''': Ah, we'll catch up later. And, uh, thanks for calling. :'''Brennan''': Wait! I'm not completely certain the boy's death was a suicide. :'''Booth''': Ah, you know, we'll grab some Chinese food and you can fill me in later on all the boring details. <hr width="50%"/> :''[At the lab. Brennan is looking at an x-ray in the light over the body on a table. Booth comes walking into the lab towards the platform.]'' :'''Booth''': What do you mean it's not a suicide? ''[A post leading up the stairs to the podium starts to beep and flash red rapidly.]'' What the hell is that? :'''Brennan''': We can't just let anyone step into the forensics area and contaminate all the ''boring details''. :'''Booth''': The boring details - ''[to Zack]'' Do not push me, kid. ''[to Brennan]'' "The boring details" was my signal for you to stop talking, okay? I want my own card. :'''Brennan''': Well, I want my own gun. :'''Booth''': Last time you had a gun you shot someone. :'''Zack''': He was a bad guy. :'''Booth''': Okay, look, who's our victim? :'''Brennan''': All the ''boring details''? :'''Booth''': Let it go, Bones, move on. :'''Brennan''': Don't call me "Bones". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I don't... I don't like people who think they're better then other people. :'''Brennan''': Some people are better than other people. :'''Booth''': Uh, you know what you said right there... That is so un-American. All men are created equal. Either you believe that or you don't. :'''Brennan''': Some people are smarter then others, there's no use being offended by the fact. What are we going to tell Nester's parents? :'''Booth''': We tell them that their son was found dead. "We're looking into it. Sorry for your loss." And we are. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': Sorry for their loss. It's sad. Try to remember that. :'''Brennan''': Uh, I'm not a sociopath. :'''Booth''': You're bad with people, okay? No use being offended by the fact. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': What did Naomi mean when she said 'take a hint'? :'''Hodgins''': Ooh. :'''Zack''': What did I do wrong? :'''Hodgins''': It's not what you did wrong. It's what you didn't do. :'''Zack''': Where do you learn this stuff? :'''Hodgins''': There are some things you learn by doing… riding a bike, driving a car, pleasing a woman. :'''Zack''': I can't ride a bike or drive a car. :'''Hodgins''': Or, apparently, please a woman. :'''Zack''': I need specific instructions, a list of techniques to implement or a sequence of moves. :'''Hodgins''': I'm not really the guy to talk to about that. :'''Zack''': Why not? You've slept with like ten thousand women. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Sure, you know, someone says, you know, "it smells" in a Spanish accent and all of a sudden you're like, "Hmmm, interesting." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You know what's a better question? What makes you think you get to decide what's relevant? You're basically the principal of a high school. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': If you don't answer my questions, I'll take you down to FBI headquarters in handcuffs. :'''Brennan''': He'll do it. He doesn't like you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You're the least objective person I have ever met. :'''Booth''': Thank you. :'''Brennan''': It's not a compliment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Maybe if you looked for more than the facts, you would be able to see the bigger pic&mdash; :'''Brennan''': Maybe if you opened your mind we could find out the actual truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': I had sex with Naomi in Paleontology. :'''Angela''': You mean actually in Paleontology? :'''Zack''': No, at her place. I thought it went great, but I could be wrong, because apparently what I think is wild and kinky is basic. And since she never called me back, I'm wondering if it's because I lack imagination in the sack. :'''Angela''': You know what, Zack? I'm thinking this is more of a guy-guy conversation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': Sometime when you're not busy, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about sexual positions. :'''Booth''': If you even try, I will take out my gun and shoot you between the eyes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Well, this is where a public school education comes in handy. "Divide and conquer" was the playground motto. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': When you're with someone, the gymnastics aren't what matter. It's who you are. It's in your intentions and how much you care about the other person. :'''Zack''': If you don't want to help me, just say so. :'''Angela''': All right, I'm going to let you in on a secret. This is a female secret. Go to Naomi and tell her you don't know anything about lovemaking. Sex, yeah. Lovemaking, you're a blank slate. You'll do anything she wants if she just introduces you to the secrets of love. She'll be more interested in that then if you were the most imaginative lover on the planet :'''Zack''': That is totally counterintuitive. :'''Angela''': Just do it, Z-man. Reap the benefits of my sexual wisdom. === ''The Man in the Bear'' [1.4] === :'''Brennan''': An autopsy on an animal is called necropsy. :'''Booth''': Yeah, it's pretty crucial we get that straight right off the bat. Meanwhile, about the dead human being? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Residual cross-section striae. :'''Booth''': Hmm... Just because you say it in that definitive tone doesn't mean it means anything to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'm not going to Washington state. :'''Booth''': Again, just because you say in that definitive tone doesn't mean it means anything to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Why is Booth the one who decides if we are going to Washington state? He gets the gun and the authority. He's the one that people like. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Firstly, he didn't decide that you go to Washington state. He made a request. I'm the one who decides where you do and do not go. :'''Brennan''': And secondly? :'''Dr. Goodman''': Secondly, it's time to live a little, Temperance. Connect with other people. :'''Brennan''': Are you suggesting that I take this opportunity to have sex with Booth on a field trip? :'''Dr. Goodman''': Good God, where's [[Sigmund Freud|Dr. Freud]] when you need him? :'''Brennan''': I don't understand what you are saying. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Which is precisely why I am sending you to the great north woods. Come on now, you have partially digested human remains to examine. That should put a smile on your face. The mosquitoes out there are the size of dogs. Pack insect repellent. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, being cooped up in a crappy hotel in the middle of nowhere with a fifty dollar per diem is not my idea of a good time either, you know. :'''Brennan''': You only get fifty dollars a day? How do you live on that? :'''Booth''': Okay, what do you mean? What do you get? :'''Brennan''': I don't have a limit, I just give them the receipts. :'''Booth''': Oh no, you have to have a limit. Everyone has a limit. We work for the government. :'''Brennan''': I don't have a limit. :'''Booth''': But it's not fair. It's not fair to the taxpayers. You could get one of those thousand-dollar toilet seats. :'''Brennan''': I imagine I'm treated differently than you because I have an indispensable skill. :'''Booth''': Oh right, indispensable. I do not need you. :'''Brennan''': Oh, so you can determine the origin of the curf marks as well as the sex and age of the victim? :'''Booth''': ''[laughs]'' You know, you're a smartass. You know that? :'''Brennan''': Objectively, I'd say I'm very smart, although it has nothing to do with my ass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, it's beautiful here, feels good to be out of the city. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, where murderers feed their victims to bears. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Brennan enters Charlie's shop, carrying the human hand in a box]'' :'''Charlie''': Need a hand? :'''Brennan''': Thanks, but I'm trying to get rid of this one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie''': ''[grabs the form Brennan filled out]'' Hey, Temperance Brennan, I'm reading your book. Gave me a few ideas if I ever want to kill someone and get rid of the body. :'''Brennan''': ''[laughs]'' Don't forget, Charlie, the heroine always catches the bad guy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Oh yeah, now that you've met Bones you're all about the inner agency cooperation. :'''Sheriff''': "Bones"? Now I don't think that is any way to talk to a lady. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': All I am saying is, why cut somebody into pieces? :'''Zack''': Pack 'em up tighter, maybe, say in a suitcase. :'''Hodgins''': How did a bear open a suitcase? :'''Zach''': I saw a documentary once where a bear got into a car and drove away. :'''Hodgins''': That was not a documentary, it was a cartoon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sherman''': Did you ever hear of the bone gatherers, collecting bones so that the dead can make their journey to the next world? :'''Brennan''': Not even sure I believe in the next world. :'''Sherman''': Doesn't matter what you believe in. You're a bone gatherer. That's a good thing, helping the spirits move on. :'''Brennan''': Thank you. It's probably the best job description I will ever get. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie''': Do you do all the stuff the girl in your book does? :'''Brennan''': I'm slightly uncomfortable discussing that with you. :'''Charlie''': No, I'm not talking about the sex. I'm talking about the running and the shooting. I mean, if you do do all that other stuff that's great too, for you and, um, whoever you're doing it with. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': We don't just have a killer on our hands, we have a cannibal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I've never been offered human flesh before. :'''Booth''': But what if you had? :'''Brennan''': It's an interesting question. I would have to measure my own social inculcation against scientific inquiry. :'''Booth''': Okay, that's sick. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Somebody gnawed on this arm like some kind of man-corn? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Talking by computer web cam]'' :'''Angela''': Hey Booth, I have kind of a thing for tattoos. You got any? :'''Brennan''': Angela! :'''Angela''': I'm sorry, sweetie, but what's with that town? You gettin' any from that hot overnight guy? :'''Brennan''': Ang, we're trying to work. :'''Angela''': Is that town totally wasted on you, sweetie? Because I take this as a sign from God to loosen up. You know what they say: "What happens in Aurora stays in Aurora." <hr width="50%"/> :''[Brennan and Booth in the car and Brennan is talking to Angela on the phone]'' :'''Angela''': So did you catch the guy? :'''Brennan''': No, Booth lost him in the woods. :'''Booth''': Whoa, wait a second. I didn't lose him. :'''Brennan''': Well, you didn't catch him. :'''Angela''': So you two have the night free? :'''Brennan''': Yes, we can't do anything until I get a determination on that meat and Booth has to wait until it's light to look for the guy he lost. :'''Booth''': I didn't lose him, okay? He, uh, tell her that my flashlight died. :'''Brennan''': She doesn't care. :'''Angela''': What? :'''Booth''': Give me the phone. :'''Brennan''': ''[holds phone away]'' It's not safe to drive and talk on the cell phone. :'''Angela''': Are you two fighting? :'''Booth''': Professional pride, tell her, please tell her that. :'''Brennan''': Booth wants you to know that he lost the guy because his flashlight died. :'''Booth''': And because he's an Indian and he's a park ranger and he's very very familiar with the territory. Tell her that. :'''Brennan''': Did you hear that? :'''Angela''': Yeah, something about Indian Territory. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, she says she understands. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Everybody is pumping me. :'''Booth''': I'm sorry? :'''Brennan''': For information on the case. :'''Booth''': Bones, they're only pretending to be interested in the case. :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Booth''': They're hitting on you. :'''Brennan''': ''[laughs]'' Are you sure? :'''Booth''': Yes, I'm sure. You're the hottest thing this town has seen in a long time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You didn't come down for breakfast, Bones. :'''Brennan''': Wasn't hungry. Sorry you had to pay for your own meal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[to Hodgins]'' Did you work all night? :'''Hodgins''': Yes, I shaved the truffle. :'''Angela''': Is that anything like spanking the monkey? :'''Hodgins''': I found boaring dust. :'''Angela''': Is there any other kind? :'''Hodgins''': Boaring dust is produced by beetles, which mean the tree the truffle grew on was infested. :'''Zack''': That's not going to impress Toni. :'''Hodgins''': That's not why I did it. I did it to serve justice and capture a murderous cannibal. :'''Angela''': That'll impress the hot courier. :'''Hodgins''': I am back in the game. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Dr. Randall, if you... can you just bite these? :'''Denise''': And if I were your cannibal, would I have pointed out that there were human bones in the bear after the autopsy? :'''Brennan''': An autopsy on an animal is called a necropsy. :'''Denise''': Yeah, there's a reason I get all the guys and you don't. ''[She bites down on the dental mold.]'' Let me tell ya, if I ate Adam there wouldn't be anything left. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What if I have to shoot? What part of his body should I hit? :'''Booth''': The part that isn't me. Just stay back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Rigby''': You don't understand it's a spiritual right to share the life force… :'''Booth''': Look, you're nuts, okay, we get it. We don't need to hear the rambling psycho speech on why you did it. :'''Dr. Rigby''': You're an anthropologist. ''[He steps towards Brennan and then by her to the body.]'' You know that ancient civilizations would sacrifice some in order to preserve the strength... :''[Brennan hits him from behind in the head with a bedpan. He goes down on the floor.]'' :'''Booth''': What'd you do that for? :'''Brennan''': Nobody wants to hear that rambling psycho speech. :'''Booth''': A bedpan? Hmm. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': What are you doing here? :'''Angela''': Are you kidding? It's like watching the clash of the horny titans. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': And to think I didn't want to come here with you. I mean, this was a fascinating case. You don't often find ritual cannibalism practiced so close to home. :'''Booth''': Which I find a plus. :'''Brennan''': There are always those individuals within a species who are driven to break the most basic taboos. I mean, Rigby actually ate human flesh. :'''Booth''': Bones, I just got my steak and eggs. :'''Brennan''': Rigby has a prion disease, which means he's been a cannibal for quite some time. Do you realize when we go to trial he could use the insanity defense? :'''Booth''': The guy is nuts. :'''Brennan''': Yes, but is he nuts because he got a brain disease from eating human flesh, or was he already nuts the first time he ate flesh, or did he just lick his fingers after surgery? :'''Booth''': I should just become a vegetarian. :'''Brennan''': Or, as an alternative, just don't eat people. === ''A Boy In a Bush'' [1.5] === :''[Brennan is giving a lecture and has opened up the floor for questions. Booth is in the audience and stands up.]'' :'''Booth''': I have a question regarding the FBI in your book. Who do you base brilliant and insightful Special Agent Andy Lister on? :'''Dr. Goodman''': Oh, for God's sake. :'''Booth''': 'Cause, you know, I'm pretty sure it was me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Booth and Brennan approach her car, a silver Mercedes convertible.]'' :'''Booth''': ''[impressed]'' You gotta be kidding me. :'''Brennan''': What? My publishers gave it to me. :'''Booth''': Gave it to you? :'''Brennan''': Book sales are pretty good. It's supposed to be a nice car. :'''Booth''': ''[still incredulous]'' Gave it to you? :'''Brennan''': Yeah. :'''Booth''': Well, why'd you park it crooked? :'''Brennan''': The guy told me to always park it like that. :'''Booth''': ''[shakes his head]'' He's wrong. Makes you look like an idiot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cop''': ''[to Brennan]'' You mind if I make an observation? :'''Brennan''': No, of course not. :'''Cop''': In your book, the cops come off as very one-dimensional. Why is that? :'''Brennan''': You mean two-dimensional. :'''Zack:''' One-dimensionality exists only in theory as a mathematical value. :'''Cop''': Oookay. Really looking forward to your next book. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to Zach]'' Did you bring the thermal imager? :'''Zach''': I don't think we need it. ''[Brennan glares at him]'' It makes me look like the Great Gazoo. :'''Brennan''': Okay, I don't know what that means, but we definitely need it, Zach. :''[Cut to thermal image of Brennan and Booth]'' :'''Booth''': ''[to Zach, in the thermal imaging suit]'' How's it going there [[Darth Vader|Darth]]? Seen anything on Saturn? ''[to Brennan]'' Please tell me you've seen at least ''one'' [[Star Wars]] movie. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Goodman''': When I said you should think of this invitation as a summons, I understated it. It's a subpoena. A Grand Jury subpoena. Ignore it at your own peril. :'''Brennan''': You're not going to fire us if we don't go. :'''Dr. Goodman''': No, not fire you, but I can move your parking spots to lot M. Enjoy the shuttle ride. :'''Zach''': The shuttle smells like feet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zach''': These are the smallest remains I've ever worked on. :'''Brennan''': That's a valid observation, Zach, but it's not helpful to the investigation. :'''Zach''': Sorry, Dr. Brennan. :'''Brennan''': I was at Waco. Branch Davidian compound. I helped identify children who had been killed in the fire&mdash;seventeen of them. :'''Zach''': So you're saying I'll get used to it? :'''Brennan''': No, I'm saying you will never get used to it. We're primates, social creatures; it's coded into our DNA to protect our young, even from each other. :'''Zach''': So I'm always going to feel terrible? :'''Brennan''': What helps me is to pull back emotionally. Just... put your heart in a box. :'''Zach''': I'm not good with metaphor, Dr. Brennan. :'''Brennan:''' Focus on the details. :'''Zach''': Details, yeah, I can do that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Any way to enhance it? :'''Angela:''' Well, I wouldn't bet a date with [[w:Colin Farrell|Colin Farrell]] on it. :'''Brennan:''' I know him. He's funny. :'''Angela''': Funny is [[Will Ferrell]], sweetie. ''Hot'' is Colin Farrell. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'm afraid Angela might quit. :'''Booth''': I'm amazed she stuck it out this long. :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Booth''': Well, because she's human. I'm sorry, Bones, it's just that, you know ''[sighs]'' Angela didn't get the same training the rest of you got on planet [[w:Vulcan (Star Trek planet)|Vulcan]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Whoa. He must be one of ''those'' Hodginses. :'''Zach''': Who are ''those'' Hodginses? :'''Booth''': I mean the Cantilever Group Hodgins. :'''Angela''': Oh, my God. :'''Zach''': The same Cantilever Group that generates more GNP than Europe? :'''Angela''': Get this. They're the single biggest donors to the Jeffersonian Institute. :'''Booth''': Ha! That makes Hodgins your boss! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, if you can't see the guy's face, maybe you can grab a reflection. :'''Zach''': ''[impressed]'' That's a workable idea. :'''Booth''': Well, I'd say thanks, you know, if you didn't say it like it was some kind of miracle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Chem Lab mass spectrometer identifies the particulates in Charlie Sanders' mouth as fluoride. ''[Brennan is staring at her computer screen]'' I know that look. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Hodgins''': You're writing another book. When you write you get this stunned look on your face like you stuck a fork in a toaster. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[voice breaking]'' Tell you what, if I can't respect the law, I can at least respect you. :'''Booth''': Well&mdash;yeah, that'll work, too. I mean, it kind of comes out of nowhere, but&mdash; <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Zach has been informed that if he tells anyone who I am, I will kick him out on the street like a stray dog. Sadly, there is nothing I can threaten you two with. :'''Angela''': Yeah, that's a shame. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Do you remember me, Sean? :'''Sean Cook''': You're the museum lady, the one who's so smart. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, I'm pretty smart. :''[outside the interrogation room]'' :'''Attorney''': ''[sarcastically]'' And modest. :'''Booth''': Oh, believe me, she ''is'' being modest. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': By the way, there's a huge ding in my passenger side door because you told me not to park it at an angle. :'''Booth''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Brennan''': Okay, that's just mean! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Goodman''': You are the best of us, Miss Montenegro. You discern humanity in the wreck of a ruined human body. You give victims back their faces, their identities, you remind us all of why we're here in the first place... because we treasure human life. :''[Angela tears up and hugs Dr. Goodman, Brennan walks in]'' :'''Brennan''': What happened? :'''Zach''': Apparently, all Angela needed was to hear her job description in a deep, African-American tone. === ''The Man in the Wall'' [1.6] === :'''Angela''': TGIF? You heard of that? :'''Brennan''': Yeah, it's some kind of acronym, but my inbox is full. :'''Angela''': We know that's not true. :'''Brennan''': A student needs help identifying some remains, and there's a TV show that needs research. Not that they listen. :'''Angela''': We're going. :'''Brennan''': I really should catalog that skull. It's in the museums exhibit on the French Revolution. :'''Angela''': Yeah, [[w:Pepé Le Pew|Pepé Le Pew]] is more important than booze and boys. :'''Brennan''': I don't think that's his name. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': We are so gonna tear it up tonight! :'''Brennan''': That's slang, right? :'''Angela''': Right. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[laughs]'' Are you two high? :'''Angela''': Only by accident, so it doesn't count. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones? Bones, how does something like this happen? ''[Booth reaches his hand towards it and Bones grabs it, twisting a little and walking him backwards.]'' :'''Brennan''': Well, the Egyptians would give the body a cedar oil enema and then rinse it with wine and cover it with salt, but I don't think that's what happened here. :'''Booth''': Bones, you are totally wasted. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Zack, Zack! Zack. Come here, come here. Isn't this a beautiful specimen of mummification? :'''Zack''': ''[to Booth]'' What's going on? :'''Booth''': Let's just say your boss inhaled. :<hr width="50%"/> :''[Booth walks into Bones's office while she's listening to hip-hop music]'' :'''Booth''': Never knew this side of you, Bones. :'''Brennan''': It's DJ Mount. :'''Booth''': You're hung over. Doesn't this make your head explode? :'''Brennan''': I grabbed a couple hours of sleep on my couch and showered in the lab's decontamination room. :'''Booth''': Ooh, you really know how to live. :'''Brennan''': Angela said rap artists sometimes kill each other over the music. Jam Master Jay, Tupac, Biggie. :'''Booth''': Do you even know who you're talking about? :'''Brennan''': Yeah, I've done my Googling. :'''Booth''': Yeah. :'''Brennan''': Listen, you can hear the alpha male asserting himself. :'''Booth''': ''[makes some rap noises]'' Yeah, fill your ass up… ''[makes more noises]'' with lead? Always a nice lyric. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, how about this? DJ Mount trusted Eve because they were sleeping together. So she meets him in the wall, takes the drugs, kills him for Rulz, then takes off. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, you should write fiction. :'''Booth''': What? It's reasonable. :'''Brennan''': It's not based on evidence. It's conjecture. :'''Booth''': Look, I'm positing a scenario. We've been through this before. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, and it always seems to be a waste of time. Now, finding a marker on a bone... :'''Booth''': I know, you know, I think I need a vacation. I think you do too. :'''Brennan''': I'm not the one who's snippy. :'''Booth''': "Snippy"? ''[laughs]'' What are you, seventy? :'''Brennan''': See what I mean? I think you should find a nice relaxing place to go on that vacation. Somewhere where you can get a massage, maybe do some yoga. :'''Booth''': I don't do yoga, okay? Push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups... that's what I do. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, that's more cardiovascular. Yoga deals more with&mdash; :'''Booth''': Why exactly are we talking about this? :'''Brennan''': Because you're tense. :'''Booth''': Because we're talking. ''[turns on the CD player, and DJ Rulz comes on]'' You switched my music. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Do you ever go on vacation? :'''Zack''': I take my vacation when you take your vacation. :'''Brennan''': What do you do? :'''Zack''': Go back home to Michigan, see the family. I have three brothers and four sisters. :'''Brennan''': Do you enjoy that? :'''Zack''': God, no. I made the mistake of telling them I work with corpses and skeletons. They think I'm a freak. :'''Brennan''': Then why do you go? :'''Zack''': They're my family... they love me. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Hall''': I've been investigated for years. Why do you think they never got me on anything? :'''Booth''': Because you're so smart? :'''Hall''': Because Terrance Baskin is my past. I'm one hundred percent clean now. This is my life now. This and my record label, not crystal meth... not gang-banging. :'''Brennan''': Yet much of the iconic quality of the urban music lies in the perceived or actual rivalry between the principal artists. :'''Hall''': Where did you find her? :'''Booth''': Museum. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Toody has traveled the world finding dead bodies. :'''Booth''': Does Toody always drool like that? :''[Brennan and the dog handler glare at him.]'' :'''Booth''': What? Am I going to hurt her... ''[looks under the dog]'' his feelings? :'''Handler''': Toody is the best cadaver dog in the world, Agent Booth. :'''Brennan''': It's true. If you were a dead body, you'd want Toody looking for you. :'''Booth''': How can he smell anything buried under a building? :'''Brennan''': He can. Once I saw Toody find a dead body wrapped in plastic under concrete after four years. :'''Handler''': Toody can smell decaying blood on a tooth six feet underground. I mean, so what, he drools a little. What's up with that? You know, your eyes are kinda close together, but I don't comment. :'''Booth''': I apologize. :'''Handler''':''[to Brennan]'' Is he sincere? :'''Brennan''': Yes. :'''Handler''': Then we accept. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Randall Hall, he's behind this. Randall Hall, okay? He killed these two people. We know it, he did it. We just can't touch him and there's no evidence linking him to the drugs, the cash, or either body except for a couple of damn bone dimples. :'''Brennan''': I'll keep looking at the remains, maybe find the evidence we need. :'''Booth''': I can't let it stand. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': You know what? I'm going to spread the pain. All right, that's my new motto. :''[Booth turns and leaves. Brennan chases behind him.]'' :'''Brennan''': Wait, I can help spread pain. Wait! :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': How many times you want me to poke Zack? :'''Brennan''': Just once, but as hard as you can. :'''Zack''': As hard as he can? Why don't I hit him as hard as I can? :'''Hodgins''': Because you have arms like noodles, while I'm vigorous and burly. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'm an anthropologist. I know the stages of everything. You made those up. :'''Angela''': I did not. === ''A Man on Death Row'' [1.7] === :'''Booth''': Name? :'''Brennan''': You know my name. :'''Booth''': Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol. :'''Brennan''': It's ridiculous. :'''Booth''': Fine. ''[slides application to her]'' Then we're done here. Do you want to get some coffee? :'''Brennan''': ''[slides it back]'' My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan. :'''Booth''': Reason for wanting a gun? :'''Brennan''': To shoot people. :'''Booth''': Not a good response. :'''Brennan''': It's the truth. :'''Booth''': You know, I'm writing "self-defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI." :'''Brennan''': ...So I can shoot them. :'''Booth''': Have you ever been charged with a felony? :'''Brennan''': Charged or convicted? :'''Booth''': Charged. :'''Brennan''': You know I have. :'''Booth''': I have to ask the questions. :'''Brennan''': ''[rolls her eyes]'' Bureaucratic nonsense. :'''Booth''': Nevertheless&mdash;name of the arresting officer? :'''Brennan''': You. ''[Booth gives her a look.]'' Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you? :'''Booth''': I can sound it out. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You can't have a gun. :'''Brennan''': Why not? :'''Booth''': Because you were charged with a felony. :'''Brennan''': Write down that you were wrong to charge me. :'''Booth''': Oh, there's no space for that. :'''Brennan''': Why did we go through all this if you were never going to give me a gun? :'''Booth''': You have a constitutional right to apply for a weapon. I would never deny your constitutional right. :'''Brennan''': Well, uh, I need a gun. :'''Booth''': Rules are rules. :'''Brennan''': Tell them that I shot a murderer who was going to light me on fire. :'''Booth''': Which is why you weren't convicted but you did shoot an unarmed man. I... I can't ignore that. I swore an oath to protect society from people who shoot people. :'''Brennan''': It was only his leg, and he's in jail for the rest of his life. How much is he going to use it anyway? :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': Am I interrupting? :'''Booth''': I told them not to let you in this building. I gave them a picture. :'''Amy''': Which is why I wore the tiny skirt. :'''Booth''': Very cute. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': You work with Booth? :'''Brennan''': Yes, I'm a forensic anthropologist. :'''Amy''': I'm a defense lawyer. I tend to work against Booth. :'''Booth''': If it's all the same, I'd prefer you two didn't bond in any way. :<hr width="50%"/> :''[Hodgins and Zach are racing beetles]'' :'''Hodgins''': What if they get mixed up? :'''Zach''': I can tell them apart. ''[points to one]'' That's Jeff and ''[points to the other]'' that's Ollie. I win. :'''Hodgins''': What? Wha... That one was mine! :'''Zach''': You had Jeff. I had Ollie, Ollie won and you owe me a buck. :'''Hodgins''': You want in on the action, Angela? :'''Angela''': ''[sighs]'' No, thank you. I'm going to go have sex. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': You sure you don't wanna come? Troy can call a friend. :'''Brennan''': ''[looking at bones]'' I've been waiting months for these. It's a partial skeleton from southern France. It's... :'''Angela''': You know, the whole point of the week is the weekend. This is not the cabaret, my friend. [[w:Cabaret (musical)|Life is the cabaret.]] Come to the cabaret. ''[Brennan gives her a blank stare.]'' It's like describing the moon to a mole. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I demand another beetle, all right? Jeff's got a groin pull. :'''Zach''': Arthropods do not possess groins. Pay up. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[notices the beetles]'' Okay, our tax dollars hard at work. :'''Hodgins''': Yeah, what's break time at the FBI, book burning? :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Hey Bones, what are you doing this weekend? :'''Brennan''': I have plans. :'''Booth''': Come on, I'm serious. :'''Brennan''': Between your girlfriend the corporate lawyer and the defense lawyer on the side, your weekend must be completely booked. What is your thing with lawyers? :'''Booth''': Uh, look. Seven years ago a seventeen-year-old girl, April Wright, was found beaten to death in a federal park. Okay? Amy is just trying to stop the guy who did it from being executed. :'''Brennan''': So I guess we're not pursuing your lawyer obsession. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Let's see if these shadows are bone fragments or something else. :'''Booth''': Like what? :'''Brennan''': Let's pretend we're objective scientists and not indulge in conjecture. Zach, get a driver to take you over to Greenbelt Park. I want you to take pictures of the area where the body was, ground covering, paved areas. :'''Booth''': Why does he need a driver? :'''Zach''': ''[embarrassed]'' I can't drive. :'''Booth''': You're a genius who can't drive? :'''Zach''': If you know what I know about constructural design, you wouldn't drive either. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[to Brennan]'' Why did you call me in? Look at this guy. He's cuter than a monkey with a puppy. :<hr width="50%"/> :''[The phone starts ringing in the lab and Hodgins picks it up.]'' :'''Hodgins''': Hodgins. :'''Zach''': ''[on other end of phone]'' Most trecondi codes have a complex numerical cypher. :'''Hodgins''': That's a fun factoid, Zach, thank you. :'''Zach''': 12402510221. That's the number they found on the victim. :'''Hodgins''': Well, you're the one with the photographic memory. I'm the one that's good with the ladies. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Troy''': ''[to Hodgins]'' Hey? So, uh, what exactly do they do here? Ah, I thought Angela was an artist. :'''Hodgins''': She is. We do mostly forensic identification and reconstruction of discorporated remains. My specialty is entomology and particulates. Have you ever seen maggots? ''[holds up a jar of them]'' I just got these in. :'''Angela''': ''[walks behind Hodgins]'' Do not talk to him. ''[sighs]'' Wait in the lounge, baby. It's up those stairs right over there. Don't talk to anybody. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy''': So, you seeing each other? :'''Brennan''': Who? :'''Amy''': You and Booth. :'''Brennan''': No. ''[laughs a little]'' No, we're... we're working together. :'''Amy''': 'Cause I'm picking up a bit of a sex vibe. :'''Brennan''': No, that's tension. He has a girlfriend. :'''Amy''': Tall, blonde, beautiful? :'''Brennan''': Lawyer. :'''Amy''': Figures... should've jumped him when I had the chance. :'''Brennan''': You're really interested in Booth? :'''Amy''': You aren't? :'''Brennan''': No. :'''Amy''': Well, then why are you helping him? :'''Brennan''': Because he asked me. He said 'please'. :'''Amy''': ''[laughs]'' Come on, you think he's hot? :'''Brennan''': No, not at all. This is a very interesting case. :'''Amy''': Booth did say you had some kind of mania for the truth. :'''Brennan''': Mania as in 'maniac'? :'''Amy''': I'm not sure he meant it as a bad thing. ''[Brennan stares at her.]'' Which obviously is how you're taking it. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': There was doubt. We had an obligation to respect that doubt. We all share in the death of every human being. :'''Booth''': Very poetic. :'''Brennan''': No, very literal. We all share DNA. When I look at a bone, it's not some artifact that I can separate from myself. It's a part of a person who got here the same way I did. It should never be easy to take someone's life. I don't care who it is. === ''The Girl in the Fridge'' [1.8] === :'''Brennan''': Angela, is this conversation really appropriate here? :'''Angela''': Sorry, but I'm into ''alive'' people. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': ''[excitedly]'' The Anthropology Journal is publishing our piece on the Coronals suture. :'''Brennan''': Worthy interruption. :''[Zach offers his fist to her. She looks confused.]'' :'''Zack''': You're supposed to bump my fist with yours. :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Zack''': I'm told it's a widely acknowledged gesture of mutual success. ''[Puts his fist down.]'' :'''Angela''': I love it when you two impersonate Earthlings. :<hr width="50%"/> :''[Hodgins enters the room, carrying a red box]'' :'''Hodgins''': Okay, now, this is weird. There's some guy in the lounge who asked me to give you this. ''[Hands the box to Brennan.]'' :'''Angela''': Is he alive? Because this is an excellent start to a relationship. :'''Hodgins''': I didn't put a mirror under his nose or anything. ''[to Brennan]'' He said that you'd know who he was when you opened it. :''[Brennan opens the package, inspects the contents, then hurries out of the room.]'' :'''Angela''': Okay, a guy that gets her to stop working? This I have to see. ''[Angela leaves the room, quickly followed by Hodgins and Zack.]'' :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': So why are you here? :'''Michael''': George Washington University wants to talk to me about heading their Anthropology department. :'''Brennan''': They'd be lucky to get you. :'''Michael''': I assume they tried you first. :'''Brennan''': I already had a job. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': ''[referring to Brennan and her gentleman caller]'' It's like watching cars mate. :'''Angela''': It's got to be Michael. Stires. Her Forensic Anthropology professor from Northwestern. They were... :'''Hodgins''': Very, very close? :''[Angela nods]'' :'''Zack''': Dr. Brennan is my Forensic Anthropology professor. Does that mean&mdash; :'''Angela and Hodgins''': ''[firmly, shaking their heads]'' No. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': ''[to himself, trying to draw a logical conclusion]'' If she was his student, and I'm her student, then it follows... :'''Hodgins''': Ain't gonna happen, Zack-O, not in this universe. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[smiling]'' Not tonight. I have a dinner. :'''Booth:''': ''[surprised]'' What? Wow. I just assumed that the two of you would be eating off an autopsy table. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Using a refrigerator to hide a body... kinda perfect, isn't it? :'''Zack''': A good way to remove the victim without being detected. The rubber gaskets seal in the odor. :'''Angela''': Maybe the company should use that in their ads. :<hr width="50%"/> :''[Zack and Hodgins approach Michael like protective older brothers]'' :'''Hodgins''': ''[arms crossed]'' You were Brennan's professor? :'''Michael''': She was twenty-three, an adult. :'''Hodgins''': That's what Clinton said. :'''Zack''': You run through a lot of students? :'''Michael''': That was a long time ago, and Tempe was very advanced, more a colleague than a student. :'''Zack''': ''[looking back at Dr. Brennan]'' I'm a pretty advanced student. :'''Michael''': No offense, but I'm not interested. :'''Zack''': No, uh, I meant me and her... :'''Hodgins''': ''[laughs and bumps Zack's shoulder]'' Burn! :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Where did you go to dinner last night? :'''Brennan''': We wound up staying in. We need to know if that amount was accrued over time or was delivered in one large dose. :'''Angela''': ''[delighted]'' You didn't come back to the lab, did you? :'''Michael''': I made frittata. :'''Angela''': ''[impressed]'' Oh, wow, he cooks too. Can we share him? :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, when the regular stuff, when it gets old, you need to spice it up or it's over. The sex is good, you don't need any help. :'''Brennan''': ''[smirking to herself]'' Yeah, that's for sure. :'''Booth''': Sorry? :'''Brennan''': I was agreeing. :'''Booth''': Yeah, well, don't. It kinda freaks me out. :'''Brennan''': I was just saying that I myself feel no inclination towards pain or dominance when it comes to sex. :'''Booth''': Are you sure? :'''Brennan''': Yeah, I'm sure. :'''Booth''': 'Cause you can be very bossy. :''[She swats him with a crop from the evidence box.]'' :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[triumphantly]'' Her legs were bound. :'''Zack''': There are erosion patterns from the bones rubbing together over time. :'''Booth''': If this were the result of sex games, then the legs, they wouldn't be bound together. ''[Michael looks back at him skeptically.]'' Oh, come on, you know? Lookin' for a little nooky, the last thing you tie together are the legs. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones. The judge is holding them without bail. The US attorney is thinking about sending you flowers. :'''Brennan''': Facts are facts. :'''Booth''': Uh, Bones, I have to ask&mdash;how much have you been sharing with, uh, the professor? :'''Brennan''': ''[indignant]'' None of your business. :'''Booth''': I mean on the case. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones, you okay? :'''Brennan''': Why wouldn't I be? :'''Booth''': Oh, 'cause the nutty professor's graded your paper. What'd give you, anyway? I was always happy with a B. :'''Brennan''': I never got a B, and I never will.

You come off as cold and aloof. I want to make sure&mdash; :'''Brennan''': Cold and aloof? :'''Jury Consultant''': Try not interrupting, it makes you sound arrogant. Also, don't frontload your testimony with technical crap. :'''Booth''': ''[shaking his head warningly at the Jury Consultant]'' Look, this really is not the best approach. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You said, "We tell the truth. We do not flinch." You flinched, Michael. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': How I feel doesn't matter. My job doesn't depend on it. :'''Levitt''': But it's informed by it. Are you as cold and unfeeling as you seem? :'''Brennan''': I see a face on every skull. I can look at their bones and tell you how they walked, where they hurt. Maggie Schilling is real to me. The pain she suffered was real. Her hip was being eaten away by infection from lying on her side. Sure, like Dr. Stires said, the disease could contribute to that if you take it out of context, but you can't break Maggie Schilling down into little pieces. She was a whole person who fought to free herself. Her wrists were broken from struggling against the handcuffs. The bones in her ankles were ground together because her feet were tied, and her side, her hip, and her shoulder were being eaten away by infection, and the more she struggled, the more pain she was in, so they gave her those drugs to keep her quiet. They gave her so much it killed her. These facts can't be ignored or dismissed because you think I'm boring or obnoxious, because I don't matter. What I feel doesn't matter. Only she matters, only Maggie. === ''The Man in the Fallout Shelter'' [1.9] === :'''Brennan''': Better able to withstand peer pressure when you can't catch me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I don't like secret Santa. The idea that we are forced by convention to exchange meaningless gifts is… :'''Angela''': Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. If you rearrange "secret Santa", though, you get "secret Satan". :'''Brennan''': What possible meaning could that have? :'''Angela''': I've already had an eggnog, if you can't tell. Now, how am I going to enjoy this party knowing that my best friend in the whole world is in the lab, eyeball to eyeball with Skeletor? :'''Brennan''': Who? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Booth, will you escort Angela to the Christmas party and make sure she doesn't photocopy her butt? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I thought that you were at the party. :'''Booth''': Oh, that wasn't a party, that was a Star Wars convention. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Is that pure alcohol? :'''Zach''': ''[flustered]'' Yes, Dr. Brennan. :'''Brennan''': You really think Goodman's going to let you spike the eggnog after the Fourth of July fiasco? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Okay, you people listen to me. There is a party going on upstairs, okay? A Christmas party. We're gonna talk to some people, we're going to sing some carols, were gonna drink some eggnog. ''[She points at Booth.]'' You are going to kiss me under the mistletoe. On the lips. ''[She turns to Zach and Hodgins.]'' I might kiss you guys under the mistletoe too. ''[She turns to Brennan.]'' Maybe even you. In a festive, non-lesbian manner. But we are going to that party. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Hey, whose fault is this? :'''Hodgins''': Who forced me to go to the party where I drank too much and had to hide from Crystal? :'''Angela''': Who never should have cut into a bone with a drunken fool in the room? :'''Zack''': Who brought us human remains just to ditch a little paperwork? :'''Booth''': Oh, wait, you're saying this is my fault. :'''Dr. Goodman''': You knew Dr. Brennan could not resist. :'''Brennan''': Well, I would have been able to resist if I was in Niger, where I wanted to be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': What are those little tiny lights dancing on the ceiling? :'''Dr. Goodman''': For the third time, those are minute firings of neurons on your optic nerve due to your reaction to the anti-fungal cocktail. :'''Booth''': Wow, whoa. They're beautiful. :'''Dr. Goodman''': ''[laughs]'' You are stoned, Agent Booth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': It's all so tragic. A cheap wedding ring sewn into his suit, two tickets to Paris. It makes you wonder&mdash;who was the girl? Can you imagine what it was like for her, waiting and wondering, never knowing what happened? :'''Brennan''': I don't have to imagine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones, it's after midnight. Hm? Christmas Eve Day. Both an eve and a day. It's a Christmas miracle. :'''Brennan''': Still enjoying your medication, I see. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You don't seem too upset about missing Christmas. :'''Brennan''': Indications are that Christ, if he existed, was born in late spring and the celebration of his birth was shifted to coincide with the pagan rite of the winter solstice so that early Christians weren't persecuted. :'''Booth''': What are you, like, the Christmas killer? :'''Brennan''': It's the truth. :'''Booth''': No, it sounds like the truth because it's so rational, right? But the... you know, the true truth is you hate Christmas so you just spout out all these facts and you ruin it for everyone else. :'''Brennan''': I ruin the true truth with facts? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, you don't know if you are sick, but you're more than willing to take drugs just in case. It seems to me you could give the man upstairs the same benefit of the doubt you do an invisible fungus. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': All right, we need a way to choose our secret Santas. :'''Zack''': I could build a random generator. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Wouldn't it be better to match complimentary people in a premeditated manner? :'''Hodgins''': I've got five numbers in my head and five letters. You tell me the number and I'll tell you the matching letter. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Are the letter sequential or are the numbers sequential? :'''Hodgins''': Sequential. We'll go in order oldest to youngest. :'''Zack''': Six. :'''Hodgins''': There's no six. :'''Dr. Goodman''': A through E and 1 through 5? :'''Booth''': ''[holds out a canister with their names written out on slips on paper in front of them]'' Just pick a name, and if you get your own put it back in. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Oh. That could work. :'''Hodgins''': Yeah, that's good. :'''Angela''': Good idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Anthropologically speaking, gifts are a way of asserting dominance in a group. Now imagine an entire holiday devoted to self-promotion, especially in this materialistic culture. How can you expect me to get behind that? How can you get behind that? :'''Booth''': Wow, that's... that's deep. It's a very deep pile of crap. :'''Brennan''': You came to me with information this morning, a peace offering. But it was to make you feel better, not me. Proves my point. ''[points to picture]'' Any idea what this is? :'''Booth''': No. ''[hands picture back to her]'' :'''Brennan''': Me neither. Try Dr. Goodman. :'''Booth''': You know, Bones, you make it very very hard for me to be nice to you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zach''': Be kind, rewind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Puperia showed Lionel had valley fever. :'''Brennan''': We sorta knew that. :'''Hodgins''': Wow, was that a shot? Because I apologized. I mean, Goodman doesn't get to see his family. Zack doesn't get to see his kids. Booth doesn't get to see his son. At least I'm an accidental [[w:How the Grinch Stole Christmas!|Grinch]]; with all due respect, you're the Grinch on purpose. :'''Brennan''': I have no idea what you are saying to me. :'''Hodgins''': The Grinch is a relatively well-known creation of a children's author named [[Dr. Seuss]]. Listen, I got Angela for my secret Santa thing and what I want to do is blow up a microscopic imagery of a toxic mold, ''[[w:Stachybotrys chartarum|Stachybotrys chartarum]]'', because I know she's interested in digital [[w:fractal|fractology]]. I though that might appeal to her aesthetically, do you agree? :'''Brennan''': I'm not really who you want to talk to about... Booth has a kid? :'''Hodgins''': You didn't know? :'''Brennan''': No. :'''Hodgins''': I wasn't the one who told you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Goodman''': The girlfriend was in trouble. :'''Angela''': Pregnant in trouble? :'''Hodgins''': Ooh, apparently Careful Lionel wasn't so careful. :'''Booth''': Marry a pregnant girl in Oklahoma in the late fifties. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Do you suppose Lionel came up here to procure an abortion? :'''Angela''': You know what? This isn't a very Christmas Eve-type story. :'''Brennan''': Of course it is. The whole Christ myth has been built upon the travails of an unwed mother. :'''Booth''': Okay, could we just stop bringing up the whole Christ myth thing? Some people believe it is more then just a myth. :'''Brennan''': Well, who besides you? :'''Dr. Goodman''': That would be me, Dr. Brennan. I'm a deacon at my church. :'''Angela''': I do. Christmas and Easter, anyway. :'''Hodgins''': Although I believe organized religion is just another political movement designed to control the masses, it doesn't mean God doesn't love me. :'''Zack''': Hey, I'm a rationalist empiricist all the way. Unless you talk to my mother. Then I'm Lutheran. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I know your parents disappeared just before Christmas. :'''Brennan''': My brother Russ was nineteen and we were still in the house. :'''Angela''': That must've been strange. :'''Brennan''': Russ found our presents in my parents' room and Christmas Eve, when I was asleep, he snuck down and made Christmas, trying to do the right things for me. :'''Angela''': Christmas for his little sister. :'''Brennan''': But when I came down and saw the lights and the presents... :'''Angela''': You thought your parents were back. :'''Brennan''': I just expected to see them, sitting there, drinking their coffee, watching Russ and me open our presents. :'''Angela''': Oh my God. :'''Brennan''': I kind of lost it. I refused to open the presents until they came back... It was like I told Russ that he wasn't enough family for me. Before New Year's, he went out west to work and I was in the foster system. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': You have to find the girl and tell her what you know. Don't you see? You can give her the answer that you never got. :'''Brennan''': Wha... Angela. :'''Angela''': I'm sorry, sweetie, but it's true. You have a chance here. :'''Brennan''': To say what? "Merry Christmas, Ivy Gillespie. Your fiancé was murdered and your life was ruined, but hey, at least you get to know what happened to him." :'''Angela''': Don't you wish somebody had said that to you? :'''Brennan''': Yes. ''[She gets up and leaves.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You just gave somebody the best Christmas gift they could ever get. Who's the secret Santa now? :'''Brennan''': Stop. ''[Her voice activates the robot laying on the counter next to Booth. It starts doing push-ups. Booth looks at it.]'' :'''Booth''': Ooh. ''[laughs]'' That weirdo assistant of yours just made me the coolest dad in the world. === ''The Woman at the Airport'' [1.10] === :'''Brennan''': ''[to Zack]'' X-rays, pictures, we're going to do this without touching the actual skeleton as much as possible. :'''Zack''': Kid gloves? :'''Brennan''': Latex should be all right. ''[pauses]'' Zack, were you being metaphoric? :'''Zack''': ''[nods]'' I decided to give it a shot. Which is also metaphoric. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Brennan walks into her office and sees Booth sitting at her desk.]'' :'''Brennan''': ''[sighs]'' I need a receptionist. I can't just have anybody waltzing in here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I can't go to Los Angeles. I have an Iron Age warrior to authenticate. :'''Booth''': Iron Age warrior, when was the Iron Age? :'''Brennan''': Fifteen hundred years ago. :'''Booth''': Fresh body bits, just a little more urgent. :'''Brennan''': You do realize there are a lot more fresh bodies then there are perfect specimens from the Iron Age? :'''Booth''': You know when you say things like that, it's just to bug me, right? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, CA. Booth is driving a blue Mustang convertible.]'' :'''Brennan''': This car doesn't feel very FBI-y. :'''Booth''': Bones, this is a nineteen sixty-six Mustang. It's a classic, and what goes better then that with the FBI? :'''Brennan''': How come, on the rental agreement under "model", you made the guy write "sedan"? :'''Booth''': C'mon. We're in California. ''[puts his arm behind her shoulders]'' Look, palm trees. :'''Brennan''': You know, I like to drive sometimes. :'''Booth''': Look, our contact out here is Special Agent Trisha Finn. :'''Brennan''': I'm an excellent driver. :'''Booth''': Okay [[w:Rain Man|Rain Man]]. :'''Brennan''': I don't know what that means. :'''Booth''': I'm always gonna drive. You know that, right? Me behind the wheel and you over there on the grandma side. :'''Brennan''': I'm not above telling Deputy Director Cullen what kind of car you rented. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Look, there's no bugs on him, haven't been for over a thousand years. :'''Dr. Goodman''': There may be spores and pollens, correct? :'''Hodgins''': Probably not. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Dozen of species of pollens have been discovered from the Cretaceous era. How long ago was that? :'''Zack''': ''[raises hand]'' Sixty-five million years. ''[Hodgins glares at him.]'' That was a pretty good comeback. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': We all know that you're going to say I'm unable to authenticate with confidence. :'''Zack''': Why would he do that? :'''Hodgins''': When you declare something authentic, you run the risk of being proven wrong. That doesn't happen if you equivocate. As head of the Jeffersonian, Dr. Goodman will place the reputation of the institution over everything else. :'''Dr. Goodman''': I'm an archaeologist. My findings will be congruent with the facts. :'''Hodgins''': With all due respect, you used to be an archaeologist. :''[Hodgins and Dr. Goodman glare at each other.]'' :'''Zack''': I have no idea what's going on between you two right now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Goodman''': His bones bear the marks of battle. His weapons are of good quality, well used. He's old for a warrior, yet... How did he die, Mr. Addy? :'''Zack''': Looks like tuberculosis. :'''Dr. Goodman''': A proud man. Not the ending he would have wanted, yet he was surrounded by family and friends. A good death. :''[Hodgins looks up at the ceiling and rolls his eyes, annoyed.]'' :'''Hodgins''': Oh, please. Now you're describing a scene from ''[[Lord of the Rings]]''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': My hotel doesn't even have a pool. :'''Brennan''': Well, you're welcome to use mine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, guys, let's turn our attention back to the murder victim. I'd like to go pay a visit to Dr. Boobs. :'''Finn''': Why? If implants were stolen from him, he won't know anything. :'''Booth''': Because it's the only lead that we've got, Finn, and leads are great for screenplays, or even&mdash;say&mdash;if you're actually working a real case. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': I have something for you. :'''Angela''': ''[sighs]'' Is it chocolate? :'''Zack''': No. :'''Angela''': Then I find my interest has flagged. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': What's with Goodman and Hodgins? :'''Angela''': Oh, they're guys. They should just lay them out on the table and measure. :'''Zack''': Lay what out on the table and measure? :'''Angela''': Okay, awkward moment. Let's just say they have different approaches and they're guys, okay? :'''Zack''': I'm a guy. :'''Angela''': You're more highly evolved. ''[puts a few markers on the skull]'' This girl didn't just change her face, she changed her skull. This is going to make Brennan nuts. :'''Zack''': You know one thing. :'''Angela''': What's that? :'''Zack''': She's going to be beautiful. Why would anyone go through all this pain and not end up beautiful? :'''Angela''': Do the names Michael Jackson or Joan Rivers mean anything to you? :'''Zack''': One of them. The other I'll look up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kostov''': You have the most beautiful bone structure. :'''Brennan''': I can't take credit. It's genetic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You touch her, she'll break your arm. ''[Kostov recoils his hand.]'' She thinks what you do is... :'''Brennan''': Barbaric. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What this young woman did to herself, it's as if she completely removed her own identity. Who hates herself so much that she not only changes her looks but her core architecture? If we don't know who she is, then how will we be able to catch the person who murdered her? :'''Angela''': Is that your way of apologizing? :'''Brennan''': Yes, Angela. :'''Angela''': I accept. I love your guts, sweetie. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I was wondering if you could have one of your ladies visit me today? :'''Brennan''': ''[to Booth]'' You're ordering a prostitute from my cell phone? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': This is the type of situation where someone says, "Oh my god." :'''Hodgins''': Pretend you're a person and say it. :'''Zack''': Oh my god. === ''The Woman in the Car'' [1.11] === :'''Stacy''': I'm Stacy Goodyear and joining me on ''Wakeup DC'' is Dr. Temperance Brennan. She's the author of the bestselling mystery novel ''Bred in the Bone'', and she's also... now, tell me if I get this wrong... an anthropologist who works with the FBI to solve crimes? :'''Brennan''': Yes, that's correct. I use the bones of people who have been murdered or burned or blown up or eaten by animals or insects or just decomposed. :'''Stacy''': Well, that's exciting. Um, Dr. Brennan, your book has sold over three hundred thousand copies. How do you juggle twin careers as a bestselling author and crime-fighting scientist? :'''Brennan''': Well, I do one, then the other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Reporter''': Do you have any advise for budding authors out there? :'''Brennan''': Well, the first thing you should have is an idea and then... well, first you need something to write with. They... they know that. Well, obviously you need a writing instrument, and you need an idea. I'm just not sure which should come first. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pickering''': Didn't I see you on television this morning, Dr. Brennan? :'''Brennan''': How could I possibly know what you watched on television? ''[She sees Booth and starts to walk over to him.]'' Booth, I have to talk to you. :'''Pickering''': Yeah, it was definitely her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[to Brennan]'' You know, if this works, I'm gonna buy you a puppy. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Talking about Brennan's TV interview]'' :'''Brennan''': Okay, what did I do wrong? :'''Booth''': Maybe next time tell a funny story. Oh, never say you don't like children. :'''Brennan''': I didn't say I don't like children. I just said I don't want any. :'''Booth''': On TV that's the same thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You arrest someone really small lately? ''[Booth looks at her.]'' Car seat in the back. :'''Booth''': Oh, I had Parker for the weekend. :'''Brennan''': I don't know how you do that. :'''Booth''': Install a car seat in an FBI vehicle? :'''Brennan''': Bring a kid into this world knowing what you know. I'll bet Parker was an accident, right? Because his mother wouldn't marry you? ''[Booth laughs and shakes his head.]'' What? :'''Booth''': It never occurred to you that that might be a sensitive topic. :'''Brennan''': Well, you could have gone with the "very small felon" story. :'''Booth''': I'm better for Parker being in the world. Someday you will see that. :'''Brennan''': No I won't. :'''Booth''': You'll change your mind. :'''Brennan''': Ah, I don't do that. :'''Booth''': You will. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, maybe after I see how Carl Decker reacts when you tell him his wife is dead and his child has been kidnapped. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Forensic anthropologist! That's why no gun! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cullen''': ''[To Brennan and Booth]'' Well, at least nobody got shot. Probably 'cause she didn't have a gun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pickering''': When was the last time you saw your husband? :'''Angela''': My husband? :'''Pickering''': Yes. :'''Angela''': ''[surprised]'' Oh. ''[laughs]'' Oh. ''[chuckles]'' Wow, you mean that actually took? Really, it didn't seem legal. We were in Fiji. You know, there was a fire dance. You know how those things can be, right? :'''Pickering''': I really don't, Miss Montenegro. :'''Angela''': Right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zach''': If I demand a lawyer will it get me out of it too? :'''Brennan''': We all demand a lawyer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Now, the ear you found&mdash;there's no way it's her own ear, right? :'''Brennan''': How could it be her own ear? :'''Booth''': That's what I'm saying. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': It's definitely not her ear. :'''Brennan''': How could she bite off her own ear? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Okay, okay, so you're telling me that my toe-chewing moron cousin was appointed to a secret post in a secret part of the government you can't tell me about, so you compiled a secret dossier on me, but I'm the one who's paranoid. :'''Pickering''': We don't use the word "dossier". :'''Hodgins''': What was the finding? I... I still work here, so... :'''Pickering''': Harmless. :'''Hodgins''': Harmless? I'm harmless? :'''Pickering''': Yes, you do not pose a viable threat. :'''Hodgins''': Well, that's just insulting. :'''Pickering''': If you want me to interview you, I will, but I will only discover what we already know. You are benign. :'''Hodgins''': I am not benign, lady. I'm not harmless. I'm malignant! I'm a loaded cannon… :'''Pickering''': Thank you, Dr. Hodgins.

I can do two things at once. :'''Pickering''': ''[upset]'' Mr. Addy, I require your full attention. :'''Zack''': No, you don't, but I'll give it to you. :'''Pickering''': What I need to do here is to establish that you are not a threat to the security of this country. :'''Zack''': I'm getting a degree in Forensic Anthropology. I'm halfway through another in Engineering. What are you afraid I will do? Build a race of criminal robots that will destroy the earth? :'''Pickering''': Do you have that kind of fantasy often? :'''Zack''': Very often. :'''Pickering''': Does it concern you that such adolescent thoughts are a sign of emotional retardation? :'''Zack''': I've been told. I'm working on it. :'''Pickering''': Can you understand why that concerns us? :'''Zack''': Not really. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pickering''': Hypothetically, you have a piece of information… :'''Zack''': Secret and meaningful information? :'''Pickering''': Yes, and the security of the country's at stake. Can I bribe you to give it to me? :'''Zack''': No. :'''Pickering''': Threaten you? :'''Zack''': No. :'''Pickering''': What if I made a reasonable rational argument, very persuasive? :'''Zack''': Merely persuasive? :'''Pickering''': Irrefutable. I make an irrefutable argument as to why you should give me this piece of information. Would you do so? :'''Zack''': Not without checking with Dr. Brennan or Angela first, see what they said, maybe Agent Booth if he would talk to me. He probably wouldn't. I'd check with Dr. Hodgins but he'd say it was all part of some conspiracy... so I must only take his advice on women. Four hundred and eighty volts, three hundred and fifty amps. :'''Pickering''': I beg your pardon? :'''Zack''': It's sorta secret information. I probably shouldn't tell you. Any other questions? ''[Pickering shakes her head.]'' Good. ''[Zack runs off.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': The material witness for a specially convened grand jury and you lost him? :'''Weeks''': The guy's pretty smart, genius level. Do you have any idea what it is like to interact with those types of people? :'''Booth''': Yeah, a little. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You just told me not to jump to a conclusion. :'''Booth''': No offense intended. :'''Brennan''': No, you were right! It's just I usually get to tell you. :'''Booth''': Well, our relationship has taken a whole new turn. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': All right, Zack! Zack! ''[Zack turns around]'' This guy Decker, he's like you. He's in the whole stratosphere IQ-wise. :'''Zack''': What's his IQ? :'''Booth''': It's 163. :'''Brennan''': Oh, he's not where Zack is. :'''Zack''': If he's in the stratosphere, I'm in the ionosphere. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Usually, I enjoy your company, Bones. It's times like these that you give me a little something else to worry about. :'''Brennan''': You enjoy my company? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Decker''': Look, analytically I understand that many lives outweigh the one, but I cannot trade my son's life. :'''Weeks''': Have you considered that by not testifying your wife will have died in vain? :'''Cullen''': Shut it, Weeks. If you people had protected Mr. Decker and his family properly, we wouldn't even be here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, you guys are geniuses. :'''Zack''': How do we find that? :'''Booth''': I work for the F.B.I., you idiot. :'''Hodgins''': Way to go, Zack. We went from genius to idiot in 3 seconds. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pickering''': Can you tell me what you were doing in Cuba? :'''Brennan''': Only if you tell me first. :'''Pickering''': I beg your pardon? :'''Brennan''': I don't know your security clearance. :'''Pickering''': Well, what is your security clearance? :'''Brennan''': You should check with the state department. :'''Pickering''': I'm from the state department. :'''Brennan''': Then that should make it easy for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Why don't we ever take my car? :'''Booth''': Do you have bulletproof vests in the trunk? :'''Brennan''': No. :'''Booth''': That's why. === ''The Superhero in the Alley'' [1.12] === :'''Booth''': No, you don't have to solve the whole case. Just tell me if I'm looking at a murder. Maybe, you know, pull a quick I.D.? ''[He smiles.]'' :'''Brennan''': Don't use your charm smile on me. :'''Booth''': What? It's a mark of respect. That's all. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Booth and Brennan are looking through the room of a teenage murder victim]'' :'''Booth''': Unbelievable. ''[sighs and goes over to pick up some comic books]'' This is quite the collection of comic books. :'''Brennan''': Hodgins said that the cellulose mass was a graphic novel. He sent it to Angela for analysis and recovery. :'''Booth''': Sweet. :'''Brennan''': Sweet? :'''Booth''': Ah, he has Batman number 127 featuring The Hammer of the Thor. This is worth about three hundred bucks. :'''Brennan''': Booth, are you a nerd? :'''Booth''': First of all, you mean "geek"&mdash;and no, I'm not, okay? It's quite normal for an American male to read comic books. :'''Brennan''': I find it hard to believe you have anything in common with Warren Granger. :'''Booth''': Oh, you mean isolated with an inner secret life? No, okay. I'd say you were more like Warren. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Goodman''': All writers reveal more of themselves then they intend on their page. :'''Booth''': You know, I've gotta tell you I never bought all that English 101 stuff. Sometimes a river is just a river. :'''Brennan''': ''[to Goodman]'' With all due respect, my writing for example is pure fiction. :'''Goodman''': Dr. Brennan, I fear you reveal much more of your world view in your writing then you realize. :'''Brennan''': Such as? :'''Goodman''': Such as, archaeologists make good administrators because they enjoy tedium. :'''Angela''': Such as, artists are doomed to a life of loneliness because they are unable to think beyond instant gratification. :'''Booth''': Such as, you know, FBI guys are hot and Angela here wants to have sex with me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Oh, you know, I figure we ask a few questions about Warren Granger, maybe bowl a few frames... You know, nothing like a little sport to, uh, take the edge off. :'''Brennan''': This is not a sport. :'''Booth''': How do you figure? :'''Brennan''': There's not physical benefit. So it's really like golf. It's not a sport, it's an activity. :'''Booth''': You know, could you please, Bones, maybe just for once try not to piss everyone off around you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You said before that Warren reminded you of me. You think I'm just like him, that he hid from life by immersing himself in a fantasy world where he fought crime. And I do the same thing, only I don't have superpowers. I... I have science. :'''Booth''': No, Bones. You do fight crime. It's not a fantasy. As far as any normal person is concerned, you do have superpowers. :'''Brennan''': You're just saying that to me. :'''Booth''': No, I don't do that. :'''Brennan''': Yes, you do. You lied to Warren Granger's mother to make her feel better. That seems to be your superpower. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay. Well, in your book, your partner's a former Olympic boxer who graduated from Harvard and spoke six different languages. In real life, you got me. :'''Brennan''': So what you're saying is that reality falls far, far short of the fictional. :'''Booth''': Yeah. Thanks a lot, Bones. === ''The Woman in the Garden'' [1.13] === :'''Brennan''': I read a book about improving work relationships. It's not fair to expect you to tell me everything. :'''Booth''': I appreciate the effort, Bones. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Great, now he's ignoring us in two languages. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Typically, grave diggers are necrophiliacs looking for a little action. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': My problem is that someone shot at me... shot at me and my partner. Plus, a bad guy got away. So I'm a little cranky about the whole thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Field work. Cool! Do I get a gun? :'''Brennan''': You can't arm Hodgins and not me. :'''Booth''': What is it with you people and guns? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Let's pretend that I'm the cop for a second. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'm trained in kinesiology, the study of human movement. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[getting into his face]'' You put a hit out on my partner? :'''Ortez''': She's not FBI. :'''Booth''': ''[punches him in the face and grabs him by the throat as he points his gun right at his throat]'' I never said anything about the FBI. She's my partner, see. And if anything happens to her, I will find you and I will kill you. I won't think twice. Come here look in my eyes. ''[pushes barrel of his gun into his mouth, and cocks it]'' Look at my face. If anything happens to her, I will kill you. This is between you and me, and nobody sees, nobody knows. === ''The Man in the Fairway'' [1.14] === :'''Brennan''': Plane crashes don't belong to the FBI. :'''Zack''': Why not? FAA stands for Federal Aviation Administration. The NTSB stands for National Transportation Safety Board. That sounds Federal to me, and FBI stands for Federal Bureau… :'''Brennan''': Zack. :'''Zack''': This is the third time in a row we've investigated without Booth. I don't like it. :'''Brennan''': Why? He mostly ignores you. :'''Zack''': Ignoring me is Booth's way of acknowledging my presence. It's a guy thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': I apologize if I've offended you. Usually we have an FBI agent that mediates our interpersonal encounters. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What are the odds? :'''Zack''': A crashing plane falling directly on a human being? One in... ten million. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Dr. Goodman's office. Brennan, Angela, Hodgins, and Zack are present.]'' :'''Dr. Goodman''': The information that I'm about to tell you must not leave this room. :'''Hodgins''': I am philosophically imposed to institutional secrecy in all its forms. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Fine. Get out. :'''Hodgins''': ''[scoffs]'' Pfft. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Two communist Chinese trade attachés were on that plane when it crashed, both high ranking party men. :'''Hodgins''': Obviously, we shot it down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Not to mention, three bone fragments which were not on the plane. :'''Dr. Goodman''': Is there any chance those bone fragments were on the plane? :'''Angela''': What, you mean as carry-on luggage? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Got it, or you want me to explain it again? :'''Booth''': Yeah, I got it. The plane goes down, kablooey, there's an extra body on board which you really don't care about because you're more interested in these bone fragments that you found on the ground. :'''Brennan''': Exactly. :'''Booth''': This all you got? :'''Brennan''': So far, piece of skull, chunk of vertebra, part of a femur. :'''Booth''': Not much to go on. :'''Brennan''': These fragments come from a person who was hacked. :'''Booth''': Hacked to little bits? :'''Brennan''': No, medium-sized bits, not sure how it turned into little bits yet. :'''Booth''': Okay. And I'm here why? :'''Brennan''': Dismemberment, little bits, it's a murder. :'''Booth''': Well, FBI doesn't have jurisdiction at a golf course. :'''Brennan''': Well, who does? :'''Booth''': I dunno, try the PGA. ''[smirks]'' You know, you've done a couple of cases without me, and you miss me. :'''Brennan''': Zack misses you, not me. :'''Booth''': Zack and I don't even talk. :'''Brennan''': He seems to think it's a male bonding ritual. :'''Booth''': Maybe he's right. :'''Brennan''': No, he's not. :'''Booth''': Could be. :'''Brennan''': You told him that so you wouldn't have to talk to him. :'''Booth''': Well, it was nicer then shooting him. :'''Brennan''': Goodman has ordered me to investigate the other extra body. :'''Booth''': Well, then, you better get on that. Next time, you know, you miss me... pick up the phone, call me, we'll do lunch. :'''Brennan''': I do not miss you! :'''Booth''': Yeah, you miss me. C'mon. :'''Brennan''': I do not miss you! :'''Booth''': Say it. :''[A security guard walks in.]'' :'''Guard''': Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth, you have a visitor. ''[He leaves.]'' :'''Booth''': You miss me. :'''Brennan''': No I don't. ''[She walks out.]'' :'''Booth''': You miss me. You miss me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': We've made some progress on the mystery passenger. :'''Brennan''': Fill me in. :'''Zack''': Nasal ridges indicated she was a Caucasoid female approximately five feet 10 inches. Epiphyseal fusion puts her age somewhere between twenty to twenty-five. :'''Angela''': I have a theory. :'''Hodgins''': Femme fatale assassin. :'''Zack''': Unregistered flight attendant. :'''Angela''': Young, beautiful girl, doesn't appear on the in-flight manifest, group of high-powered politicos. :'''Hodgins''': Oh. :'''Zack''': Wait. What? What? :'''Brennan''': Someone on that flight might have been doing his daughter or girlfriend a favor. :'''Angela''': Ugh, you're so sweet, honey. You really are. :'''Zack''': Oh, you think she was the in-flight ''entertainment''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'm going to ask you guys to help me on this. :'''Angela''': You mean after the Communist thing? :'''Brennan''': No, immediately. :'''Hodgins''': I'm in. :'''Zach''': You want us to defy Dr. Goodman? :'''Hodgins''': I'm in. :'''Brennan''': Not defy per se. Do both jobs, but keep one a secret. :'''Hodgins''': I'm in. :'''Angela''': We get it. You're a rebel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Assume the victim was frozen solid when he was fed into the chipper. :'''Zach''': No way! :'''Booth''': ''[to Brennan]'' The correct response would be "yes way." :'''Brennan''': Oh. ''[to Zack]'' Yes way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to Booth]'' I feel like kicking him. :'''Booth''': ''[pulling out handcuffs]'' That's normal after a pursuit. We try not to do that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Hey, you know, your people are my people. :'''Brennan''': What? I have people? Hey, I have people. === ''Two Bodies in the Lab'' [1.15] === <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Ask them to save the excrement for Hodgins. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Fine, you know what? You have fun with Dick431 or whatever his handle is. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, I will. :'''Booth''': Good. :'''Brennan''': Thanks. :'''Booth''': Fine. :'''Brennan''': Good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins:''': I'm doing the fecal flotation right now. ''[pauses]'' Wow, don't get to say that a lot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Booth is a big, strong, hot guy who wants to save your life. I mean, you actually have a knight in shining FBI standard-issue body armor, so cut him some slack. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Booth is looking at Brennan's music collection.]'' :'''Booth:''': Tibetan throat singers... rock on, Bones. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Uh, how did that get there? :'''Booth:''': C'mon, Bones, everybody loves [[w:Foreigner|Foreigner]]. "Hot Blooded"? Talk about a guilty pleasure. Check it, baby. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Did they gather all the evidence from the explosion? :'''Brennan''': Yes. :'''Booth''': You're sure? :'''Brennan''': Yes. Booth, I was there. They were very thorough and I was very annoying. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Let's talk revenge. Bloodlust. :'''Brennan''': The cathartic release we are looking for can only be achieved when we successfully gather enough evidence to neutralize the person or persons responsible for putting Booth in the hospital. :'''Zack''': "Neutralize" can mean either kill or arrest... :'''Brennan''': Yes, it can mean either. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth:''': Maybe if we weren't in a toy car... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': This conspiracy thing is a lot more intense when you're in the middle of it. === ''The Woman in the Tunnel'' [1.16] === :'''Booth''': ''[to Brennan]'' You know ''[[w:Treasure of the Sierra Madre (film)|Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', but you don't know [[Charlize Theron]]? You know who you are? You're my grandmother. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones, I mean, you do realize that you are discussing motive right now? Psychology, not hard evidence. :'''Brennan''': It won't happen again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': He came down with an accomplice. I apologize. I have been hanging around Booth way too much. :'''Brennan''': It's a valid hypothesis. No doubt one of many. :'''Zack''': They argued, one killed the other for the treasure. Doesn't that mean the vault will be empty when we find it? ''[Hodgins gives him a look]'' Oh my god, they got me, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You're nervous. :'''Angela''': I'm not nervous. I'm scared. I don't know how to talk to crazy people unless I'm dating them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Can I just have a gun at least until they get here? It's not for shooting rats, it's for psychos with climbing axes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': FBI! Hands in the air! :'''Brennan''': Yeah! Hands in the air! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones, give me your gun. Take the restraints out of my belt and put 'em on Kyle. ''[Bones puts her gun in Booth's pants pocket]'' :'''Booth''': That's not cocked, is it? Because where that's pointed ... :'''Brennan''': You're safe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': She knew about this treasure. She was going to put it in her documentary. It would have cost you guys a fortune. So one of you killed her. Who's left-handed? ''[starts walking towards Kyle]'' :'''Booth''': Bones, you know, it's best to have this sort of explanation after the bad guys are incapacitated. :'''Brennan''': ''[turns to Booth]'' Why? :'''Kyle''': ''[shoves Bones, grabs a candlestick and attacks Duke]'' You killed her for this?! ''[Bones knocks Kyle out]'' :'''Booth''': That's why. :'''Brennan''': Yeah. Well, I'll try to remember that for next time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Kyle hit the Duke with the candlestick in the crypt. :'''Goodman''': That's very good! Very good. ''[laughs]'' :'''Booth''': Right. ''[laughs]'' :'''Brennan''': ''[confused]'' What? What's the joke? :'''Booth''': [[w:Cluedo|Clue]]? :'''Brennan''': What clue? ''[Booth and Goodman both laugh]'' What clue? :'''Booth''': Unbelievable, Bones. :'''Angela''': What's the joke? :'''Brennan''': I have no idea. === ''The Skull in the Desert'' [1.17] === :'''Brennan''': ''[calls Booth on his cell phone]'' How far are you from Dallas? :'''Booth''': As far as your office is from Dulles. :'''Brennan''': Why are you in my office? :'''Booth''': I need your findings on the Richmond case. Listen, Zack won't tell me where they are unless you give him permission. :'''Brennan''': There's a 9:15 flight to Denver, then there's an 11:35 flight to Santa Fe. You have to run to make the connection. :'''Booth''': Forget it. :'''Brennan''': Booth, please. Angela's boyfriend is missing... maybe dead... it took all of my charm... :'''Booth''': All of your charm? Oh boy... :'''Brennan''': Just to get the sheriff to let me look at the skull. When I asked him to let me send the skull to the Jeffersonian, he told me I am not a cop and I don't have any jurisdiction. :'''Booth''': Which is true, okay look, what do you want me to do? :'''Brennan''': I want you to get federal on his ass. :'''Booth''': ''[smiles smugly and proudly]'' Oh! :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I'm touring the hottest places in the universe. Next stop... Hell. <hr width=50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Wait outside while I get dressed. :'''Booth''': No, uh-uh. The sun's been up for an hour out there. It's already the surface of Mercury. I can stand here, close my eyes, eat my doughnuts. Best I can do. Okay. :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, no offense to Angela, but she doesn't really know this guy. She's only with him&mdash;what? Only three weeks out of the year? :'''Brennan''': Yeah, no offense to you, but you are a stodgy traditionalist when it comes to relationships, buddy. :'''Booth''': Stodgy? Stodgy. :'''Brennan''': Yeah, stodgy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': He's definitely twitchy about somethin'. :'''Brennan''': What if he's escaping out the back door? :'''Booth''': You don't spend a lot of time in trailers, do you? :<hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Obviously, you subconsciously sifted through the rational facts of the case, and processed the most likely scenario. :'''Booth''': I'm sure that's it. :'''Booth''': Yeah, what else could it be? :'''Angela''': It's the only rational explanation. :'''Brennan''': Wait, are you guys making fun of me? :'''Booth''': You know? Let's go back home. You know, where there's water and shelter and living things. Come on. === ''The Man with the Bone'' [1.18] === :'''Booth:''' ''[walking along a hallway leading to the morgue]'' Welcome to the dungeon. :'''Brennan:''' Why do the FBI always stick their morgues in the most depressing basement they can find? :'''Booth''': Don't be such a snob, Bones, okay? Not everyone gets to play in a multi-million dollar lab, you know... with skylights. :'''Brennan''': It's because, as a society, we feel the need to hide death away. The people who deal with the death are viewed as freaks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': ''[as Booth arrives]'' Dr. Brennan, the destroyer of evidence is here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': FBI! You're all under arrest! :'''Booth''': Come on, Bones, you don't get to say that. I'm the one with the badge. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You dive, too? :'''Brennan''': Yeah. I have the time because I don't own a TV. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Where the hell are my bones? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[in Dr. Goodman's face]'' Bones don't just disappear. I thought this was a secure facility. You assured me this was a secure facility. I could be working at Stanford, you know? This never would've happened at Stanford! :'''Goodman''': We spend three-quarters of a million annually on security! :'''Brennan''': ''Obviously'' that's not enough. ''[Booth comes in.]'' I want my bones! Did you find my bones? :'''Booth''': Ooh, maybe you just want to, you know, chill a little? :'''Brennan''': ''Chill''? :'''Booth''': Yeah, you know, take a pill? :'''Brennan''': Listen, ''dude'', my lab was violated, my bones were stolen, so I think I'll remain ''warm'' for a little while longer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cullen''': Okay, let me see if I get this straight. The pirate bones you recovered came from the Jeffersonian to start with. :'''Brennan''': Correct. :'''Goodman''': 300-year-old bones stolen from our own pirate exhibit. :'''Cullen''': And then recovered by own of your own people? :'''Booth''': Dr. Hodgins. :'''Cullen''': Who brought them back to the Jeffersonian, where they were stolen again? :'''Booth''': Re-stolen, sir. :'''Cullen''': You got a security problem, Dr. Goodman. :'''Goodman''': And when I find out who did this, you may have a murder problem. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Security guard''': I didn't see the harm. :'''Brennan''': In stealing human remains? :'''Security guard''': After 300 years, it's not like he's got a family grieving for him out there. :'''Goodman''': Think of me as a grieving parent. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[to security guard]'' Grand theft, buddy. You're looking at eight years. :'''Goodman''': If I don't kill you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': How much did you get for 'em? :'''Security guard''': A couple of hundred bucks. :'''Booth''': Yeah. So this, uh, wire transfer into your bank for ten grand&mdash;was that inheritance? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[talking about the Jeffersonian's security]'' You know, you need a better screening process down at the museum. :'''Goodman''': Ironic, given we contract that out to the FBI. === ''The Man in the Morgue'' [1.19] === <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones, you okay? :'''Brennan''': Booth, I told you not to come. :'''Detective Harding''': Who's this? :'''Brennan''': It's… he's F.B.I. We're sort of partners. :'''Detective Harding''': A guy flies down from D.C. You're more than sort of. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Is that Booth? :'''Brennan''': Yes. :'''Angela''': You're hopping the Streetcar Named Desire with Booth? Oh, I love this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Voodoo.. ''[laughs]'' Who's gonna believe that stuff? :'''[[w:Temperance Brennan|Brennan]]''': It's a religion no crazier than&mdash;well, what are you? :'''Booth''': Catholic. :'''Brennan''': They believe in the same saints you do. And prayer. What they call spells, you call miracles. They have priests. :'''Booth''': We don't make zombies. :'''Brennan''': Jesus rose from the dead after three days. :'''Booth''': Jesus is not a zombie! I shouldn't even have to tell you that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Why haven't you come home? :'''Brennan''': Pretty soonm Ange. :'''Angela''': Is Booth there socially? :'''Brennan''': No, of course not. :'''Angela''': All right, what is going on? ''[Booth grabs phone from Brennan]'' :'''Booth''': Okay, Bones has amnesia because a... voodoo murderer put a spell on her to keep her from solving the murder of John Doe 361. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': We just stopped by to ask why. :'''Detective Harding''': Why? :'''Brennan''': That's what we came here to ask. :'''Detective Harding''': You wanna look behind me and remind yourself why I'm a little low on sense of humor? :'''Booth''': ''[to Harding]'' She's not wisecracking, she just tends to be a bit literal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Voodoo. It's probably voodoo. :'''Angela''': Voodoo? :'''Brennan''': Okay, quit saying voodoo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': It could have been me. :'''Booth''': No, it couldn't. :'''Brennan''': Yes. What? How do you know? :'''Booth''': I just know, okay? I'd bet my professional career on it. ''[under his breath]'' I already did. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': Nothing. :'''Brennan''': What did you do? :'''Booth''': Bones, stop! This is the last time and place that you wanna be rational, okay? Let's just be wildly emotional and assume that you didn't psychotically murder a co-worker who invited you over for dinner! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Caroline''': I am doing you a favor taking this case, Booth. But as the lady cop says, I'm a prosecutor. And as it stands now, I could try this case in my PJs and still get a conviction. :'''Brennan''': Well, shouldn't you get to know your clients before you make snap judgments? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Caroline''': Fine. Stop me when I get something wrong. Trained in three types of martial arts, two assault charges, registered marksman with the NRA, hunting licenses in four states… :'''Booth''': You hunt? :'''Brennan''': Only for food. :'''Caroline''': Shot an unarmed man. :'''Dr. Brennan''': He was trying to set me on fire. :'''Booth''': All right, just… just arrange bail for us, Caroline, so we can get out of here. :'''Caroline''': Sure, sure. Don't want to get this one mad at me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Why are you nice to me? :'''Booth''': Because. Because they think they get away with it. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': They burn their victim. They blow him up. They toss him in the ocean. They bury them in the desert. They throw ‘em to wood chippers. Sometimes, you know, years go by, they relax. Then they start living their lives like they didn't do anything wrong. Like they didn't spend somebody else's life in order to get what they got. They think they're safe from retribution. You make those bastards unsafe. That's why I'm nice to you. :'''Brennan''': I couldn't do that without you, Booth. :'''Booth''': Yeah. So, um, you should be a little nicer to me, huh? :'''Brennan''': I really should. <hr width="50%"/> :''[In a telephone conversation]'' :'''Angela''': Or, better still, you could forget the whole thing and come home. :'''Brennan''': Don't worry, I made bail. :'''Zack''': Bail? :'''Angela''': Bail? For what? :'''Brennan''': I told you, don't worry. The murder charge won't stick. :'''Hodgins''': Whoa, whoa. Murder charge? :'''Angela''': Brennan, the next plane, OK? The next plane, or I'm coming down there to get you myself. :'''Brennan''': Everything's fine. I'm healing up satisfactorily. Bye for now. ''[Holds up.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Murderer starts chanting voodoo spells, Brennan steps forward and pokes him in the eye.]'' :'''Brennan''': I find very few people are scary once they've been poked in the eye. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Booth, objects have no intrinsic power. A person's future does not depend on some thing. Things are just things. They do not have magical meaning or powers. ''[Booth shows her the missing earring he found]'' Where'd you get that? :'''Booth''': What does it matter? It's just a thing. Right? :'''Brennan''': My mother's earring. :'''Booth''': No, uh… magical power over your future. ''[Booth walks out]'' :'''Angela''': Does that prove something? :'''Brennan''': ''[looking at earring]'' Yeah. It proves something. === ''The Graft in the Girl'' [1.20] === :'''Booth:''' Okay, listen. About a month ago, his daughter, Amy, was diagnosed with cancer. Mileso... :'''Brennan:''' Mesothemlioma. Lung cancer. :'''Booth:''' Exactly. So she is not doing so well, so it's a lot easier for us to come to him right now. :'''Brennan:''' Huh. :'''Booth:''' Huh what? :'''Brennan:''' Nothing. It's just that's an extremely rare form of lung cancer. Odd for someone Amy's age to contract&mdash; :'''Booth:''' ''[Cutting her off]'' No. No no no. No probing, 'kay?

She hated the guy. My guess is she got 10 G's stuffed in her mattress back in Trailerville. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': So, is it him? :'''Brennan''': It's him. But here's the kickster... :'''Booth''': Kicker, Bones. Here's the kicker. :'''Brennan''': Oh. === ''The Soldier in the Grave'' [1.21] === :'''Goodman''': It's difficult knowing Kent will never play again. Makes the war so real. :'''Hodgins''': Which is odd, because it was all fiction that got us there in the first place. :'''Goodman''': So you don't think we should stand up to tyrants? :'''Hodgins''': Sure. I've been waitin' for the press to do that for three years now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': (imitating) "Listen, cowboy. Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." :'''Booth''': What was that? The Duke? That was horrible. That was, like, Jerry Lewis. :'''Brennan''': Was not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Now you're a mind reader? :'''Booth''': Maybe. You want me to guess your weight? :'''Brennan''': You do and you could lose a tooth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Yeah. Men aren't like us. They're much more fragile and needy. The fact that they think ''we're'' the needy ones is a testament to our superiority. :'''Brennan''': Yeah. I guess I forgot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I'm guessing mad. Fair enough. Can I at least give you come material to read? :'''Angela''': You could try, but you'd walk funny for a week. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I hate to say conspiracy, but, my peeps, we've got a conspiracy. === ''The Woman in Limbo'' [1.22] === :'''Booth''': How 'bout this for an amusing, rhyming linguini. See ya later, alligator. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Any of you see Bones? Okay, we're due in court, like&mdash;hello&mdash;now... What? :'''Angela''': This ''[activates hologram showing an image]'' totally freaked her out. :''[Booth starts dialing on his cell phone.]'' :'''Zack''': My theory?

You never pick up. :'''Brennan''': Take a hint. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': The NCIC database? That's... That's criminals.

Guess a criminal nature runs in the family. :'''Brennan''': ''[holding up a picture of her brother]'' You were seven years old, Russ. Old enough to remember. What... What is your real name? What is ''my'' real name? :'''Booth''': Bones, it's right here in the file. :'''Brennan''': ''[turning to Booth]'' No! NO! I want him to tell me!

''[angrily walks off]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I worshipped him. You know? Oooh. God. He was so cool. Everyone knew I was Russ Brennan's little sister. I wasn't cool or pretty, so being his sister... You know that game, Marco Polo? I'd be sitting in class, and I'd hear out the window "Marco!" It'd be Russ, checking in on me and letting everyone know that I was his little sister. :'''Angela''': Did you "Polo?" :'''Brennan''': Yeah. Sometimes it'd be the only word I said all day. "Polo." And then Mom and Dad disappeared and Russ took off. Suddenly, no one cared where I was. I miss that. Someone caring where I am all the time. :'''Booth''': Bones! Bones! You up there? Come on. Let's go. Chop chop. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Hate is easier to deal with than love, especially disappointed love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Hey, you know what?

I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan. :'''Booth''': I know who you are. Hey, I know. It's okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Russ Brennan''': Tempe, that theory explains why Mom never came back for you during those one-and-a-half years before she died! :'''Brennan''': What's your excuse, Russ? :'''Russ Brennan''': You're the one that left me! You needed someone to blame and you chose me. :'''Brennan''': I was fifteen years old! :'''Russ Brennan''': I was 19. My parents were gone. My sister hated my guts. Everyone told me that she'd be better off in foster care. :'''Brennan''': You didn't even ask me! :'''Russ Brennan''': I tried, Temperance. You wouldn't talk to me. You still wouldn't talk to me if Mom's bones didn't show up. And I kept trying. Every year. Every year on your birthday. You're the one that gave up. You turned your back on me and you made yourself a new family. ''[walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Vince McVicar is in custody, and wants to talk to Bones.]'' :'''Booth''': You got two ways to look at this. One is, you score a private chat. The second one is, you attack her, and I'll drill you through the forehead. :'''McVicar''': How can I possibly attack her? :'''Booth''': I'll decide what is and ''isn't'' an attack. Like, say, a hiccup. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Sometimes people need to explain things to me, I guess. :'''Russ Brennan''': You have to let them talk. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Russ''': Marco. :'''Brennan''': Polo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[toasting]'' To us. :'''Russ Brennan''': Whoever the hell we are. :'''Brennan''': To what we're becoming. == Season 2 == === ''The Titan on the Tracks'' [2.1] === :'''[[w:Seeley Booth|Booth]]''': What did you do? :'''[[w:Temperance Brennan|Brennan]]''': I read, walked on the beach, chilled... :'''Booth''': You ''chilled?''

My people gave you all the evidence you need to fry Turko with any reasonable jury. :'''Prosecutor''': Forensically... :'''Cam''': We gave you everything you needed to arrest Turko. :'''Prosecutor''': Arrest is not a conviction. :'''Cam''': We definitely gave you enough to reject his plea bargain and indict him in the wrongful death of a senator. :'''Prosecutor''': Indictment is not a conviction. :'''Booth''': You accept that plea bargain and the investigation stops. :'''Brennan''': Indict him give us time to get you what you need. :'''Cam''': If you accept this plea bargain you don't deserve to be a Federal Prosecutor. :'''Prosecutor''': Dr. Saroyan! :'''Cam''': Yeah, it's scary. The whole country'll be watching the trial and you don't want to go in with less than a sure thing. But you put my people on the stand as expert witnesses and that's a sure thing. :'''Brennan''', '''Hodgins''', '''Angela''': ''[together]'' Not Zack. :'''Cam''': You can tell the story of what happened using the evidence these people provided and if you any ability as a Prosecutor you'll win the case. :'''Prosecutor''': Are you finished? :'''Cam''': No, Ms. Supeck.

We're all going to do it, you're just the closest to Kyle Richardson. :'''Booth''': Okay, you know what? That's great, I'll be there in twenty. But in the future, you just got to ask me differently, Bones, because you know what? Come over to your place to stab a body? That is just freaky. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': The knife is consistent with the one that caused the wounds. We've fitted it with an instrumented blade that will give us a digital readout of the Newton meters of each stab. :'''Zach''': It's a dual-mass drop system. :'''Cam''': All I hear is blah, blah, blah. :'''Hodgins''': Cliff notes version: We all stab.

Howard's told me you both saved his life last year. :'''Booth''': It was our pleasure. :'''Brennan''': ''[looks at Booth in confusion]'' What? I was disappointed. :'''Caroline''': ''[to Brennan]'' Extending Howard's life has given him time to come to grips with what he's done&mdash;to ask God for forgiveness. :'''Booth''': Then we did the right thing by having his execution stayed. :'''Brennan''': ''[staring at Caroline Epps]'' Are you on some kind of medication? :'''Booth''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Bones. :'''Caroline''': Dr. Brennan, I'm not one of those crazy women who falls in love with death row killers. :'''Brennan''': Obviously that's exactly what you are. :'''Booth''': ''[butts in, handing Caroline a business card]'' Listen, if the prison ever gives you a hard time in coming to see your husband, just give me a call.

I mean, why have a child with a monster like him? What is she gonna tell the child when it grows up? "Hi, your daddy's a monster." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': Perhaps the point isn't that German is a different language, but that it's actually a different language. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I can't just guess, I have a process! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': How can I take care of a pig?

I could hear it in your voice. I might as well have walked in on you having sex. :'''Booth''': Oh, you didn't, and we weren't. :'''Brennan''': It's nothing to be ashamed of, Booth. Humans act upon a hierarchy of needs, and sex is very highly ranked. It's an anthropological inevitability. :'''Booth''': Thank you, Bones. I really appreciate you boiling me down to your anthropological inevitabilities. :'''Brennan''': Sure. Anytime. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I'll take a front-row seat for that.

Pseudoachondroplasia or S.E.D. congenita? :'''Booth''': Bones! :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Radswell''': Dr. Brennan, I can see that you're a straightforward person and as much as I appreciate that quality, what you're asking me is neither your business nor relevant. :'''Brennan''': But it's my business because I'm a forensic anthropologist. But, you're right, it's not relevant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You're used to people deferring to you because of your size. It's a normal response that you take advantage of.

Dr. Brennan? I'm just small, not invisible. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Come on, Alex. Baby steps. ''[pause at Radswell's reaction]'' No offense. :'''Brennan''': ''[chuckles]'' I just got that. It's baby steps, because you're so small. ''[chuckles]'' It's probably offensive. :'''Radswell''': Sorry, I can't help you. ''[He leaves.]'' :'''Brennan''': Sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': It's a bluff. Cops do it all the time. :'''Booth''': So you think if we frame Antonio, Judge Ramos will confess to save her own son. :'''Cam''': What mother wouldn't? :'''Booth''': Bones? :'''Brennan''': No. No! :'''Cam''': It's no different than lying to a criminal to get a confession. :'''Booth''': Or having Hodgins call the FAA with a fake terrorism tip. :'''Cam''': He did ''what''? :'''Booth''': Oh, what, now suddenly there's a line? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': We cheat diplomatic immunity here in DC, we catch a murderer.

"If I twist the chains, how fast will I spin?" :'''Hodgins''': Or if I try and jump off before the swing stops. :'''Angela''': Exactly. :'''Hodgins''': I miss that feeling. :'''Angela''': Yeah, me too. :'''Brennan''': I miss organic chemistry class. Those were good times. :'''Zack''': I miss my first microscope. :'''Booth''': Yeah, and I miss normal people. Can we move on? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Listen, Angela, we've been dancing around this for months now, like two pieces of neodymium caught in a magnetic field. :'''Angela''': Is that good? :'''Hodgins''': Yeah. But if the field weakens, they fly apart. Which is why I thought they should go on a date. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Hodgins asked me out. :'''Brennan''': Is that why you're hiding in here? :'''Angela''': I'm not hiding. I need advice. :'''Brennan''': What, on a personal matter? :'''Angela''': Yes. :'''Brennan''': From me? :'''Angela''': Yes. :'''Brennan''': But romance is sort of&mdash;This is like me asking you advice on phylogenetic systematics. :'''Angela''': Phylogenetic systematics.

People ate stale donuts? :'''Brennan''': Objectification of women... Beauty as self-esteem... :'''Booth''': You know, I think, you know, some of those kids actually had a good time. :'''Brennan''': That girl in pink could really dance, but then again Nero could really play the fiddle. :'''Booth''': You know, Bones, I like to think that, um, some place deep inside, people really know what's important. :'''Brennan''': It's hard to believe when you see women trying to disguise or change themselves. I never understood that. :'''Booth''': Well, I mean, of course you wouldn't. :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Booth''': Well, it's just, you know, someone who looks like ''you'' wouldn't... just because of the way you look. :'''Brennan''': I don't understand. What way do I look? :'''Booth''': ''[Somewhat shyly]'' Well, you know, you're structured... very well. :'''Brennan''': ''[Smiles]'' As are you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I'll tell you what. How about I, ah, order some takeout and I ditch these doughnuts? :'''Brennan''': Sure. :'''Booth and Brennan''': ''[simultaneously]'' Thai food? :'''Booth''': This time, I'm ordering extra mee krob, because you ate it last time.

Never thrown a punch? :'''Zach''': Never saw the logic of it. :'''Hodgins''': It's not about logic, it's, it's emotional, it's anger! :'''Zach''': I don't get angry, it's not rational. :'''Hodgins''': What if you're sitting on the beach and someone kicks sand in your face? :'''Zach''': I don't go to the beach. :'''Hodgins''': Work with me, Zach. There must be something that would piss you off. What if I called you a scrawny twit who can't hold a normal conversation with a 10-year-old? :'''Zach''': I don't have much in common with a 10-year-old, and although I don't know what a twit is, objectively, I am thin and do lack muscular definition. :'''Hodgins''': Dude, you're a Vulcan, and a dull Vulcan at that. :'''Zach''': Can we please work? :'''Hodgins''': Now you're pissing me off! You're a freak, man. Anger is a part of being human. Grow a set! :'''Zach''': I would really like to work, Hodgins. :'''Hodgins''': You know, it is not enough to be some robotic second-rate grad student. :'''Zach''': I am the most valuable and accomplished grad student who's ever been installed at the Jeffersonian. :'''Hodgins''': And you're gonna be a grad student the rest of your life because you have no fire. :'''Zach''': I am working on my dissertation. :'''Hodgins''': Oh, please, you've been saying that for years. You're a poser. You don't have your doctorate because you have no drive, no passion for what you love. :''[Zach punches Jack in his face]'' :'''Hodgins''': ''[smiles]'' Dude! :'''Zach''': It's not what you think. :'''Hodgins''': You got pissed! :'''Zach''': No, striking you merely seemed to be the most practical way to get you to be quiet and focus on work&mdash;but I didn't realize how much it would hurt. :'''Hodgins''': Nice punch, though. :'''Zach''': Thank you.

Either you do as He says, make some sacrifices and are delivered, or you don't and you end up in Hell. :'''Booth''': You know, I'd really appreciate if you didn't say things like that, 'cause I really don't want to get struck by lightning.

Might help me understand! :'''Booth''': I am not gonna help you disrespect God in His own house, okay? If you wanna do some kind of anthropological study, you know, turn on the Religious Channel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': It was a mistake. The Grave Digger is not God, Bones, because God doesn't make mistakes. :'''Angela''': Mmm, I don't know. Putting testicles on the outside didn't seem like such a great idea. ''[Booth nods.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': If you haven't figured out the stun gun, then I am this week's King of the Lab, 'cause I found something huge. :'''Angela''': You compete to be King of the Lab? :''[Hodgins notices her for the first time and becomes embarrassed.]'' :'''Hodgins''': ''[scoffs]'' No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': We'll go to a musical. :'''Booth''': Talking and singing and talking and dancing and more singing? You know, if you want to stop what we're doing, just say so. :'''Cam''': You can fantasize about pulling out your gun and shooting everyone on stage. You know you like that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zach''': Hodgins is rich. :'''Cam''': He is? :'''Zach''': Rich to the power of ten times four, is how he describes it. :'''Angela''': You're going to pay the ransom, right? :'''Booth''': Yes. FBI standard ops., they won't work. Grave Digger operates outside statistics. :'''Cam''': They'll fire you. :'''Booth''': Eh, that's cool. One less reason to wear a suit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Zack, I need you to be Dr. Brennan. :'''Zack''': I don't know what that means. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': We have water, towels, my mini kit, ibuprofen, two cell phones with no batteries, a digital camera with a backup battery, and, uh... a handful of pens. :'''Hodgins''': That one's a laser pointer. :'''Brennan''': ''[smiles as she holds up a book]'' And a copy of my novel. :'''Hodgins''': Hey, we can read to each other if we get bored. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I'm nuts about Angela. Over the moon. Stupid in love with her. That's why I bought her that&mdash;that crazy, expensive perfume. Man give you a bottle of perfume like that, it says&mdash;it says "I love you." There. I said it out loud. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to Hodgins, after performing makeshift surgery]'' Thank God I didn't kill you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Angela's perfume. :'''Hodgins''': Three. Grand. That cost. :'''Brennan''': Hodgins, I will split the cost when we get out of here. :'''Hodgins''': There's something you don't know about me. I'm rich. :'''Brennan''': Me too. :'''Hodgins''': No. No. You're&mdash;well off. My family owns The Cantilever Group and there's not many of us left alive. One, to be exact. Me. :'''Brennan''': Okay. I won't split it with you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': This thing you found in my leg is anodized plastic film and coated metallic tape with dried-out adhesive. I think it's a bumper sticker. :'''Brennan''': You mean, like "If you can read this, you're too close?" :'''Hodgins''': No. Like a prepaid toll road pass. Someone ran me down with a car! :'''Brennan''': We knew that already. :'''Hodgins''': Yeah, but now we've proved it and I find I'm really annoyed! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Booth will find us. :'''Hodgins''': You have a lot of faith in Booth. :'''Brennan''': No. Faith is an irrational belief in something that is logically impossible. Over time, I've seen what Booth can do. It's not faith. :'''Hodgins''': No offense&mdash;and I'm not just saying this because you filleted me with a knife&mdash;we are out of air. We don't know if our message got out, much less if anyone understood it, and we are buried underground. What you have is faith, baby. Sorry, the "baby" thing is a reflex. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': And if we're buried more than four feet deep? :'''Brennan''': Then the concussion will turn our brains to jelly. :'''Hodgins''': ''[smiling good-naturedly]'' Well, then we can run for Congress, so it's a win-win. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Ready? :'''Hodgins''': Yeah. Dr. Brennan. It's been a privilege. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I came to visit you at the hospital. I brought you this. ''[holds up a toy teddy bear]'' :'''Jack''': They... they let me go home. :'''Angela''': No, they didn't. You left without being discharged. You stole crutches, which I had to pay for. :'''Jack''': They packed me... pumped me full of antibiotics. Dished me up and gave me painkillers. So... so, I'm... I'm good to go. :'''Angela''': Could you please look at me? You were buried alive. You were operated on without an anesthetic. You were pumped full of drugs. You really should be lying down. :'''Jack''': He's out there, Angela. He buries people alive. I have to catch him. If I can figure out the exact alloy of aluminum, then maybe I could... maybe we could... plus the bit of bumper sticker that Brennan found in my leg... :'''Angela''': We're gonna catch him. Okay? I promise you. We're gonna start tomorrow. All of us together. :'''Jack''': I can't sleep, Angela. :'''Angela''': I thought they gave you something for that. :'''Jack''': No, I mean, I'm afraid that... if I close my eyes... when I open them... I'm gonna be back in that car... buried... running out of air... :'''Angela''': Okay. Then you should come home with me. :'''Jack''': What? :'''Angela''': When you open your eyes, I'll be there. :'''Jack''': Yeah? :'''Angela''': Yeah. :''[pause]'' :'''Jack''': You know, I'm good for that crutch money. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Sitting together in a church pew]'' :'''Brennan''': If I were going to pray, I would have done it just before we set off the explosion. :'''Booth''': And you didn't? :'''Brennan''': No. See, if there was a God, which there isn't&mdash; :'''Booth''': Shhh! Do you see where we are?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'm okay with you thanking God for saving me and Hodgins. :'''Booth''': That's not what I thanked Him for. I thanked Him for saving... all of us. It was all of us. Every. Single. One. You take one of us away, and you and Hodgins are in that hole forever. And I'm thankful for that. :'''Brennan''': ''[looking at him]'' I knew you wouldn't give up. :'''Booth''': ''[looking at her]'' I knew you wouldn't give up. === ''The Headless Witch in the Woods'' [2.10] === :'''Booth''': Okay, cause of death? :'''Brennan''': Well, since I can't find a skull, I'd say his head got cut off. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Anyone else feeling tingly, or is it just me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zach''': My palms perspired profusely during that film. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You're very touchy lately, Booth. :'''Booth''': Look, Bones, I don't know why I didn't tell you about Cam. :'''Brennan''': Did I mention Cam? :'''Booth''': I just didn't want it to get weird, I guess. :'''Brennan''': Weird? :'''Booth''': We're partners, you know, together all the time, all right? You're a woman, and I'm a man. I never had a relationship like this, where we were like two guys, except you're not, you know, a guy. :'''Brennan''': No. No, I'm not. Should I feel odd about wanting to hang out with Will? :'''Booth''': No, of course not. 'Cause... essentially, you're a guy, like me, but not really. :'''Brennan''': That would mean that to me, you are essentially a woman. [''Booth looks at her.''] Yeah, I can see that. :'''Booth''': No, no, no, no, I'd prefer not to be a woman, if you don't mind. :'''Brennan''': I'm merely trying to follow your reasoning, Booth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I can read bones, not people. :'''Booth''': Well, you had no trouble seeing through me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': It's a good thing I like being alone. :'''Booth''': You know what? Bones, you're not alone. Okay? Come here. :'''Brennan''': Booth... :'''Booth''': Hey, you're my partner. It's a guy-hug. Take it. === ''Judas on a Pole'' [2.11] === :(Zack is just defending his thesis in front of Brennan and other board members when Booth walks in.) :'''Booth''': Hey, Bones, come on. We've got a body. Went up like a Roman candle... hey, Zack! How's it going? :'''Zack''': So far, they don't like me. :'''Booth''': Shocker. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to Booth, after he pulls her off to a case]'' Why do I always feel like you're abducting me? (playfully slaps him) <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[after Hodgins has informed him of the letter about Marvin Beckett]'' Okay, who else knows about this? :'''Hodgins''': Us and you, that's it. :'''Booth''': Let's keep it that way. :'''Hodgins''': I've seen this movie, I get killed on the way home. :'''Booth''': Then don't go home. :'''Hodgins''': ''[laughs, then stops abruptly]'' You serious? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What? I wouldn't let anyone else call you a loser, Russ. What makes you think you're allowed? :'''Russ''': I love you too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Are you worried about your doctorate? :'''Zack''': No. I read a book on body language. Apparently, in our culture, when an older male lays an open hand on a younger male, it conveys approval. But if he bumps younger male with a closed fist, it conveys doubt. Dr. Grayson went like this... :(Pats Brennan's shoulder with open hand 3 times) :'''Zack''': Not like this... :(Hits Brennan's shoulder with a fist 3 times) :'''Zack''': Like this... :(Pats Brennan's shoulder with open hand 3 times) :'''Zack''': Not like this... :(Hits Brennan's shoulder with a fist 3 times. Brennan looking annoyed) :'''Brennan''': Dr. Grayson is elderly and arthritic. Perhaps he simply needed help getting to his feet like this... :(Pushes down on Zack's shoulder 3 times) <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': I need a makeover. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Yeah, you're right. Thanks. I wish you wouldn't keep letting me hug you when I get scared. :'''Booth''': Hey, I get scared and I'll hug you. We'll call it even. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You know, I'm just... I'm just one of those people who doesn't get to be in a family. That's&mdash; :'''Booth''': ''[places his finger underneath her chin, lifting her head up]'' Listen, Bones, hey. There's more than one kind of family. === ''The Man in the Cell'' [2.12] === :'''Angela''': ''[about the newspaper article, to Hodgins]'' Did you really call me "the heart of the operation"? :'''Hodgins''': Yeah, that's before you called me short. :'''Angela''': Hey, Zack called you short. I think you're just the right height. :'''Hodgins''': Yeah? :'''Angela''': ''[nods]'' Short men have better leverage. :'''Zack''': I'm feeling uncomfortable... <hr width="50%"/> :''[Angela and Brennan in her office talking about Epps]'' :'''Angela''': How do you deal with the fear? :'''Brennan''': I have this. ''[takes out huge gun from her purse]'' :'''Angela''': Oh my God! That thing is huge. Whoa, wow, that's like movie huge. :''[Booth enters the office.]'' :'''Booth''': Where the hell did you get that? :'''Brennan''': The mall. :'''Booth''': ''[incredulously]'' The mall? :'''Brennan''': Yeah. It's pretty big, right? Bigger than the one you have. ''[Angela chuckles.]'' :'''Booth''': Excuse me, it's not the size that matters. It's how you use it. :'''Brennan''': Well, I think size is pretty important. :'''Booth''': The point is that you shouldn't have a gun in the first place. :'''Angela''': If you do have one, bigger is always better. :'''Booth''': You're not helping. :'''Angela''': Right. Yeah. This does seem like a private conversation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, people see you with that, the next thing you know everyone in this place is gonna start packing. :'''Brennan''': This is America. Get used to it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[whispering]'' What's that smell? :'''Brennan''': It's mold. It grows in the fat creases of morbidly obese people. :'''Mrs. Epps''': What is this about? Did you bring me here to make fun of me? :'''Brennan''': I merely stated a fact, Mrs. Epps. You need to lose weight. Obesity also causes diabetes, heart damage, liver failure. Not to mention the wear it puts on your joints. :'''Mrs. Epps''': I have a glandular condition. A little compassion and understanding, that's what I really need. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Considering the relationship between you and Cam, I'd like to say the right thing, Booth... I don't know what it is. Usually I'd&mdash;I'd ask you or Angela. :'''Booth''': You just said it. Thanks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I can't find any traces of powder on Cam's clothing. :'''Zack''': Did you search electrostatically? :'''Hodgins''': Yes, are you sure it was a powder? :'''Zack''': ''[insistently]'' Yes. :'''Hodgins''': It had to be a gas. :'''Zack''': If it were a gas I'd be in the hospital with Cam. :'''Hodgins''': No particles on her clothing. ''[impatiently]'' Zack, it had to be a gas. :'''Zack''': It wasn't... are we having an argument? :'''Hodgins''': Of course. :'''Zack''': Why? :'''Hodgins''': Because Cam's dying, and I should be with Angela, and because there are no particles. :'''Zack''': ...on the clothing. :'''Hodgins''': That's right. :'''Zack''': What about the glass parts still left in the head? :'''Hodgins''': ''[His face suddenly lights up.]'' I'm not angry with you anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[to Hodgins and Zack]'' I am walking out of here. You try and stop me again, I'll shoot both of you! ''[Booth walks out as Zack begins his search.]'' :'''Zack''': ''[nervously]'' Uuughh... :'''Hodgins''': What? :'''Zack''': I really need him to come back. :'''Hodgins''': ''[yells]'' Booth! ''[to Zack]'' Whatever you got, better be worth dying for. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': My doctor said most of my injuries didn't come from the explosion but from being slammed into the floor. ''[to Booth]'' Apparently, you're extremely strong. :'''Brennan''': ''[to Booth]'' Did you have to be so rough on him? :'''Booth''': It was a bomb. I was being, you know, heroic. === ''The Girl in the Gator'' [2.13] === :'''Booth''': I can't hear a thing! :'''Ice cream man''': The kids love the music! :'''Brennan''': Well, I don't see any kids. :'''Ice cream man''': The music attracts them! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Look, I can't hear anything because of this insane music! [fires three shots into Ice Cream Clown] :'''Ice cream man''': YOU SHOT MY CLOWN! :'''Booth''': [into phone] Okay. Flight number? ...Thanks. [to Brennan] Okay! We're all set. :'''Brennan''': That was ''not good''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': "Step away, please?" Just because you have your doctorate now doesn't mean I won't use you as a swizzle stick. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Nah, it was an ice cream truck. :'''Dr. Wyatt''': You have a good reason for firing on it? :'''Booth''': Yeah, the music was bothering me. :'''Dr. Wyatt''': Ah. :'''Dr. Wyatt''': So the FBI sent you to me because you shot a clown? :'''Booth''': Not a real clown! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Wyatt''': You are fit for physical labor, aren't you? I mean, the clown didn't return fire, did it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Abby''': I thought maybe she'd hooked up. :'''Brennan''': Hooked up? Hooked... up? Oh... with, uh, anyone in particular? :'''Abby''': We met so many guys. You know how it is. :'''Sully''': I'm guessing she doesn't. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I clicked on a pop-up and got caught in a pornado. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': You know, anthropologically speaking, you follow a very ancient tradition. :'''Monte''': Okay... entrepreneur? :'''Brennan''': Pimp. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Monte''': Man, you have to spend all day with her? :'''Sully''': Yeah, an actual woman. You should try it sometime. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Well, he jumped over that balcony because of her. ''[chuckles]'' Y'know, sometimes I think he had the right idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Keep your eyes open for a metal screw-threaded thingy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Wyatt''': But shooting a clown is not a quiet rebellion. Shooting a clown is, quite literally, deafening. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Hey, Doc, why is it that every time I answer the phone, you walk away? :'''Dr. Wyatt''': Why do you answer the phone knowing it'll make me walk away? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sully''': The judgment thing, it's a line from Shawshank. :'''Brennan''': Who's that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sullivan''': And since we have no professional obligations to each other, I can ask you out? Theoretically. :'''Brennan''': Theoretically. :'''Sullivan''': Perhaps after a twenty-four hour waiting period. :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Sullivan''': So the brain can adjust to alternate perceptions of each other. :'''Brennan''': I actually don't need it. My brain adjusts quite quickly. === ''The Man in the Mansion'' [2.14] === :'''Brennan''': Why do you call your psychiatrist "Gordon Gordon?" :'''Booth''': 'Cause that's how he introduces himself. You know, "Hi, I'm Gordon. Gordon Wyatt." :'''Brennan''': Like "James, James Bond." :'''Booth''': "Bond, James Bond," not "James, James... James" ... whatever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': No, Brennan! For once can you just pretend that you're the girl? :'''Brennan''': Why is everyone so anxious for me to be a girl? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': Spell it out, bone boy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Wyatt''': Why don't we talk about the case you're working on at the moment? :'''Booth''': Why? :'''Dr. Wyatt''': Well, I am trained as a forensic psychologist. I might be able to help. :'''Booth''': Okay, fine, great. I have a dead rich guy, works with at-risk youth, gets brutally murdered after confiscating a couple pounds of heroin from one of his kids. :'''Dr. Wyatt''': Interesting that the first word you used to describe him is "rich." :'''Booth''': Ah, second. The first description was dead. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': It's my letter of resignation. :'''Brennan''': Your science was dead-on perfect. That's all I care about. I don't need your resignation. ''[He hands the letter to Cam, who accepts it.]'' :'''Brennan''': He didn't actually tamper with evidence! :'''Cam''': Dr. Hodgins endangered a case by hiding his relationship with a suspect. :'''Hodgins''': I'm saving Dr. Saroyan the trouble of firing me. :'''Brennan''': Well, how much trouble is it? "You're fired." That's no trouble at all! I mean, a child could do it. === ''The Bodies in the Book'' [2.15] === :'''Cam''': Only 5 days? This is an extreme rate of decomp. :'''Hodgins''': Blue Crab season. They'll feed on anything, dead or alive. Vegetation, fish, flesh. :'''Cam''': Ugh. Opportunistic little bastards. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sully''': Well, two hands are better than one, Booth. :'''Booth''': Well, last time I checked, I had two hands. See? :'''Angela''': Testosterone spill on Aisle 4. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': So, for kicks you read... :'''Cam''': Feminist trash. You know. Woman finds her power, leaves her oppressive husband, discovers freedom and fulfillment with an artist who knows how to cry and make love like an animal. :'''Hodgins''': So, sex books. :'''Cam''': Pretty much, yeah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sully''': When you can't stop thinking about someone when they're not around, that's not a fling. When you remember their touch just like they were still next to you? That's not a fling. If you need to be alone with this, fine...but we both know what we have. === ''The Boneless Bride in the River'' [2.16] === :'''Booth:''' Don't knock therapy, okay? Dr. Wyatt has helped me realize there are certain pressures that build up on the job, and I need creative ways&mdash; :'''Brennan:''' ''[interjecting]'' We do everything together. :'''Booth:''' &mdash;of dealing with them. :'''Brennan:''' What exactly do you have to contend with on the job that I don't? :'''Booth:''' You, Bones. You don't have to contend with you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Okay, I want the whole kip and canoodle transported to the Jeffersonian. :'''Booth''': Kit and caboodle. :'''Brennan''': Whatever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Oh. All right. Leaving the third circle of Hell. But before I go, I think she's Asian. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan:''' No bones, no Bones... I was the second "bones." :'''Cam:''' Oh, very witty. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I don't need to speak Chinese to get that. She don't think Bones is good for you. :'''Brennan''': You just made that up! :'''Prof. Chen.''': Ah, nailed it on the head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': So what? You got a part of the groom instead of the bride? :'''Booth''': Bones stole it! :'''Brennan''': Uh, not stole, swapped. :'''Booth''': From an old Chinese lady's mantle. :'''Brennan''': I brought a bunch of chimpanzee bones and pulled the old ah, switchamacallit. :'''Booth''': Switcheroo. :'''Cam''': Whatchamacallit. :'''Booth''': Two different things. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I want you to tell me what to do. :'''Angela''': About what? :'''Brennan''': Sully wants me to run off with him. :'''Angela''': Go. :'''Brennan''': For a year. :'''Angela''': Go. :'''Brennan''': He wants to run a charter boat around the Caribbean. :'''Angela''': Go. :'''Brennan''': He says I should take a sabbatical. :'''Angela''': Go. What is the downside? He's a great guy. This is a great idea. :'''Brennan''': I'll miss you guys. :'''Angela''': Oh, we'll meet you in Barbados. Look. You have been working every day since I met you. It's time to let another part of yourself out into the sun. With a bare-chested man and a tropical breeze. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': Positive ID on both sets of remains. William Chang and Li-Ling Fan. :'''Angela''': [''looking at both skeletons and their pictures''] Wow, they kind of go together. :'''Cam''': Because they're deceased? :'''Angela''': Yeah, but more than that, they are exactly the same level of hotness. :'''Cam''': Which is zero, because they're skeletons. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': She was ill and he was ill, it's really too bad they never ''actually'' met. :'''Cam''': [''to Zack''] The mortician's lawyer advised him to clam up, the Changs now say that the twenty-five thousand dollars was used to pay off a family debt. :'''Angela''': Ever think that their spirits actually did meet, and they're working to get their bones together here, in the physical plane? :'''Cam''': You mean like we're "possessed" into doing their bidding? :'''Angela''': ''[sighs]'' You know what you people lack? Whimsy. It's a genuine handicap. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': ''[talking about the two skeletons]'' I am going to draw them a wedding picture. :'''Cam''': ''Okay''. Well, you do that. ''[turns to Zack]'' We should find out who poisoned the victim and arrest him for murder. :'''Zack''': Probably the bouncing, flying mail-order husband. ''[turns to Angela]'' Does that count as whimsy? :'''Angela''': Well, you're handicapped, Zack. Someone really needs to throw a telethon for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What are you doing here? :'''Booth''': I'm waving goodbye. See? :'''Brennan''': What do you want? :'''Booth''': Breakfast. :'''Brennan''': I'm not hungry. :'''Booth''': Oh, come on, huh? What are ya gonna vomit up when we come across one of those, uh, horrific cases? :'''Brennan''': I don't vomit. :'''Booth''': Give it time, okay? Give it time. Everything happens eventually. === ''The Priest in the Churchyard'' [2.17] === :'''Zach''': I'm Dr. Addy. Are you one of those priests who smack schoolchildren with rulers? :'''Father Donlan:''' ''[icily]'' That's not allowed anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I'm not working a whole case with you attacking my beliefs. You should have just saddled up with your boyfriend. :'''Brennan''': Your beliefs are of an invisible man who wants to run my personal life. :'''Zack''': Death would have followed quickly caused by cranial cerebral trauma. :'''Booth''': By the way, 90% of the world believes in God! :'''Brennan''': And at one time, most people were certain that the sun revolved around the earth. :'''Booth''': ''[to Zack]'' You see, I don't think this is about religion at all. ''[to Brennan]'' We obviously have issues that are affecting our working relationship, and you're afraid to deal with them, so you just lash out at my religion! :'''Brennan''': Can't you just be satisfied that if I'm wrong about God that I'll burn in Hell? :'''Booth''': Ooh, that's tempting. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': We're definitely not working well together. :'''Brennan''': Because you are bossy and judgmental. :'''Booth''': Problems between people, it's never just one person's fault. :'''Brennan''': What about Hitler? He did pretty well on his own. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan:''' ''[to Lorraine]'' Do we take this, or do we need to serve a warrant on God? :'''Booth:''' ''[grabs the chalice]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Wyatt''': You're both afraid that the reason Dr. Brennan didn't sail off into the sunset with her boyfriend Sully might have been her ties to Agent Booth. ''[pause]'' You're ''both'' quite wrong. :'''Brennan''': ''[to Wyatt]'' Why didn't I go with Sully? :'''Booth''': How is he supposed to know? :'''Brennan''': ''[to Booth''] Sully is perfect. We communicated well. The sex was incredible. He invited me to sail around the South Seas in a beautiful yacht for a year. I mean, why would anyone turn that down? :'''Dr. Wyatt''': In my opinion, you are unable to lead a purposeless life at this stage in your psycho-social development. Which, by the way, is an issue you should address, because a certain amount of purposelessness is necessary to lead a full life. :'''Brennan''': I hate psychology. :'''Booth''': You don't like it because he's saying that all this tension between me and you is ''your'' fault. :'''Dr. Wyatt''': ''[to Booth]'' Mmm, on the contrary, if anything ''your'' issues are more pronounced. Given that your behavior has been affected by what turns out to be a quite irrational fear of being responsible for someone else's destiny. :'''Brennan''': That makes sense. :'''Booth''': Oh, now you like psychology. :'''Dr. Wyatt''': I think you'll both be able to work together just fine, now that your minds have been set at ease. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': ''[after testing Father Matt for poison]'' The good news is we know how to make you feel a lot better. :'''Hodgins''': Bad news is someone is trying to kill you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan:''' ''[trying to get Angela examined by Dr. Wyatt]'' Dr. Wyatt, we need you to do it with her. :'''Dr. Wyatt:''' ''[stammering]'' Well... I could, but unfortunately, my heart belongs to another. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Wyatt''': ''[after Angela tells him he was wrong about Booth and Brennan's issue]'' I stand by my diagnosis. :'''Angela''': You stand by the FBI. Your first priority is to get Agents back in the field solving murders. ''[Wyatt chuckles]'' :'''Dr. Wyatt''': Your romanticism is endearing, but as the bard says, "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains such shaping fantasies that apprehend more than cool reason could comprehend." :'''Angela''': He also says "Journeys end in lovers meeting every wise man's son doth know." === ''The Killer in the Concrete'' [2.18] === :'''Cop''': And when we dug up the cement&mdash; :'''Brennan''': No, that's concrete. Cement is an ingredient in concrete. :'''Booth''': Yeah, that's a real important distinction to make at this juncture. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Waffle-soled shoes and a track suit. :'''Cam''': You know who wears track suits? :'''Zack''': Athletes? :'''Cam''': No, huge tubs of lard or retired people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to Cam]'' Tell Booth that Ice Pick's femur is sliced cleanly at 90 degrees. :'''Booth''': I can hear you, Bones, okay? It's a speaker phone. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Have you turned Russ into a criminal, too? :'''Max Keenan''': Hey, I haven't committed a crime in over fifteen years. I'm straight. :'''Brennan''': Except for killing, gutting and burning the Deputy Director of the FBI. :'''Max Keenan''': He was trying to kill Russ, and then he was going after you. It is not a crime to protect your family. :'''Brennan''': Well, some fathers do it without killing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': Okay, time to step out of your comfort zones, people. :'''Hodgins''': What comfort zone? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tim''': You're welcome. Your dad's psycho, by the way. :'''Brennan''': You have no idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': This is one of those times when I have no idea what's happening. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': I can't fight or shoot a gun, but if something bad happens I can spit with deadly accuracy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': What can't you tell me? :'''Brennan''': By definition, I can't tell you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': All right, you're after a crazy old ice-pick hit man who has Booth. You need help. Look at my face. Do you ''really'' see me backing down? :'''Brennan''': I&mdash;I already have help, Ange. :'''Angela''': From whom? :'''Brennan''': From someone worse than Kennedy. :'''Angela''': Are you serious? :'''Brennan''': Don't say it! :'''Angela''': Your father is helping you? :'''Brennan''': I have to go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Booth is being held by Melvin Gallagher. :'''Cam''': That's a leap. How do you know? :'''Brennan''': Can we just go with this, please? :'''Cam''': Of course not. :'''Angela''': Obviously, Brennan found out from her father, who is a wanted fugitive. :'''Brennan''': Ange! :'''Cam''': Now that I can go with. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Has anybody noticed that every time there is a panic situation, all eyes turn to Hodgins? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[to the phone]'' Yes. This is Dr. Brennan at the Jeffersonian. I just received a call from Agent Booth that he's being held at ''[motions to Angela for some papers]'' the Purdue Airfield in Oakville, Virginia. Send back up. I'm going in. ''[hangs up the receiver]'' :'''Angela''': You just lied your ass off to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

''[Max kisses Brennan on the forehead and leaves.]'' :'''Brennan''': What? It's not like I actually ''gave'' him the keys. === ''Spaceman in a Crater'' [2.19] === :'''Hodgins''': This guy's wearing loafers. Aliens don't wear loafers. :'''Cam''': Even if they want to pass unnoticed amongst us? :'''Booth''': Before taking over? :'''Hodgins''': This is harassment. You know, it's illegal to mock people for their fundamental beliefs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': Why do you know that? :'''Zack''': My knowledge is vast. :'''Cam''': Why did I ask? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': The telescope is pointed up at the planet Pluto. :'''Hodgins''': Pluto's no longer a planet. It was demoted. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Did you ever get drunk together? :'''James''': What? :'''Booth''': What my partner is trying to ask is if you two were buddies. Did you go out and have drinks and exchange confidences? :'''Brennan''': Yes, that's what I asked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Hey Bones. I ran a check on STC, okay. They're part of the 'Tinfoil Hat Squad'. :'''Brennan''': What's that? :'''Booth''': They wear tin little hats, probably to check aliens from controlling their minds. :'''Brennan''': Oh, schizophrenics? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Maybe it wasn't a U.F.O. that Cal saw. :'''Booth''': Ah. :'''Brennan''': He could've seen something else. :'''Booth''': Yeah, like a death beam or a space baby. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Hey, do you aliens use any weapons resembling a... :'''Zack''': A broadsword? :'''Hodgins''': How about a light saber? :'''Zack''': No. Those can cut through any known substance. The victim would've been completely dismembered. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Because the warrant includes anything that is in plain sight. :'''Brennan''': "Plane" sight. Get it. It's a pun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I guess right now it looks to me like marriage is having someone who will slap your enemies and then toss their dead bodies out of airplanes. === ''The Glowing Bones in the Old Stone House'' [2.20] === :'''Brennan''': I believe that dopamine and norepinephrine simulate euphoria because of certain biological triggers like scent, symmetrical features... :'''Booth''': Symmetrical features. :'''Brennan''': Yes, it's an indication of a good breeder. You appear to be a very good breeder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': It's not like we get a human light bulb in here every day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, squint squad, why's she glowing like a glow stick? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I am not a party trick! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': Re-hydrates dried tissues and stops static cling. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I'd back down if I were you.

The two sweetest words I know. :'''Cam''': I don't even want to think about your pillow talk with Angela. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': You really think her husband killed her? I mean, it would make sense he'd spare Abby. :'''Brennan''': I don't think I'm the person to ask about psychology of relationships. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': It's just... If a relationship seems more than casual, I feel that I need to point out the potential problems. Probabilities of success and failure, or... :'''Angela''': You get scared. :'''Brennan''': ''[nodding]'' But I miss so much, don't I? :'''Angela''': I want to say no, but... yeah. You do. And so does whoever you're keeping yourself from. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': No more. I'm done. :'''Booth''': You're done with Angela? :'''Hodgins''': ''[definitively]'' No. But, hey, I fell in love with a free spirit, and if getting married makes her feel trapped or something, then I'm, I'm just gonna have to deal with it. :'''Booth''': Right. So, you don't want to get married anymore. :'''Hodgins''': Sure I do. :'''Booth''': You know, this whole ceramic stuff is making more sense to me. :'''Hodgins''': But Angela doesn't. And I don't want to drive her away like you did with Rebecca. :'''Booth''': Whoa, I did not drive Rebecca away. We both agreed that it wasn't right. :'''Hodgins''': After you asked and she said no. :'''Booth''': Well, when you say it like that, it's&mdash; :'''Hodgins''': But if it had been right, it wouldn't matter if you were married or not, would it, because you'd have a life together. :'''Booth''': Great, then why not get married? :'''Hodgins''': Because then we wouldn't be able to ''be'' together, see? This is all becoming so clear now! :'''Booth''': ''[laughs]'' Not really. :'''Hodgins''': You put on that macho front, but inside you understand! :'''Booth''': I don't understand. :'''Hodgins''': That which the mind can't grasp... :'''Booth''': All right, you know, I'm just trying to catch a murderer, but you seem to have gone way past that. :'''Hodgins''': Means a lot, knowing that you get it, man. Most guys, not secure enough to admit that. :'''Booth''': I have a headache. ''[His phone rings; he answers.]'' Booth. Yeah, I'm on my way. Abby just ''[Hodgins hugs Booth.]'' woke up. I need you to figure out what that stuff is. Okay. ''[Hodgins lets go.]'' It's so much easier just to fight and shoot guns. Bones, she's awake, we're going! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Talk to me, squints, as close to English as possible. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Look, I'm Abby. ''[gesturing to Zack]'' You're Carly. :'''Zack''': Why am I always the murder victim? :'''Hodgins''': Sit. :'''Brennan''': ''[chuckling]'' Zack's always the murder victim. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': What you said here... that we're enough... just this, no pressure for more... (Angela's voice breaks) that's all that I ever wanted. === ''Stargazer in a Puddle'' [2.21] === :'''Brennan''': "I would like to marry you." :'''Booth:''' Kind of sudden, Bones. Let me think about that. :'''Brennan:''' No, Booth. That's what Angela ''[Booth starts to laugh]'' told Hodgins. Are you joking? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zack''': Your estimate was correct. This hole is consistent with a 22-caliber slug. I learned ''slug'' from Cam; it's a colloquialism for ''projectile.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': But this time, art made science her bitch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': Hey, Brennan, I'd like to ask you a favor. Well, it's not so much "ask a favor" as&mdash;as, as extend an honor. I mean, I hope you see it as an honor, and you don't think of it as some onerous duty, which I don't think you will, but then again I've never done this before, and of course&mdash; :'''Brennan''': Angela, just ask. :'''Angela''': Will you be my maid of honor? (Brennan's face changes and she looks close to tears) At the wedding? (Brennan hugs her) Is that yes? :'''Brennan''': I'm completely, totally honored. :'''Angela''': Really? I thought I'd have to tell you what a maid of honor&mdash; :'''Brennan''': I don't even care how awful the bridesmaids' dresses are. ''[hugs her again]'' I'm so glad you asked me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[on the phone with Hodgins]'' You know, you didn't give me much time to put a bachelor party together. :'''Hodgins''': No bachelor party. :'''Brennan''': Is that Hodgins? :'''Booth''': Yeah, he wants me to be his best man. ''[to Hodgins]'' Well, if there's no bachelor party, what do you want me to do? :'''Hodgins''': Stand there, make a toast, hand over the ring, tongue-kiss the maid of honor at the reception when people clink glasses. :'''Booth''': Nice, excellent, okay. Who's the maid of honor? :'''Hodgins''': No idea, but most of Angela's friends are really hot. :'''Brennan''': I'm the maid of honor. Why? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Release the hounds. :'''Zack''': What? :'''Hodgins''': ''[annoyed]'' Pour in the Sea Chimps. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Am I terrible for not wanting to care about my father? :'''Booth''': Look, Bones, if your father is going to do something tomorrow that's going to hurt you... how do you forgive that? :'''Brennan''': I'm not a bad daughter? Bad person? :'''Booth''': You're not a bad anything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Those Sea Chimps went after that pork by-product like piranhas after a skinny-dipping missionary. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ruth Keenan''': Hi Temperance, it's Mom. I don't know when or if you'll ever see this, but I hope to put it in your hands myself and see you again, with my own eyes. This is a hard, hard world. Your father and I left you and Russ to save your lives. People would have killed you to get us. That's not what this is about. Today is your sixteenth birthday. I'm so sorry not to be there to tell you all the things a mother should tell her daughter when she turns sixteen and sorry not to give you this (holds up the ring Brennan's father gave her). It's an heirloom. And starting today, it's yours. I don't know how long it will take me to get it to you, but I promise you I will. You're going to hear a lot of things about your parents, especially your father. He is a good man. It was my insistence to leave you kids. Max would have kept us together, fought until the end, I'm not sure he'll ever forgive me for that. So please Temperance, I need you to forgive me and if you can't forgive me, I beg you honey, if you can't forgive me please forgive your father. Remember you were loved in this world, cherished. What I did to you may have been wrong, but I did it out of love, I did it out of love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': ''[whistles]'' Wow, you look great. :'''Brennan''': ''[confused]'' You said I looked good before. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': (Whispers) Bones? :'''Brennan''': (Annoyed) What? :'''Booth''': He could have gotten away. :'''Brennan''': What? :'''Booth''': We go into a fight and your dad could have escaped capture. :'''Brennan''': So he beat you in a fight? :'''Booth''': No, no, I didn't say that. :'''Brennan''': What, so you beat him but you gave him a chance to escape? :'''Booth''': (Walking towards her) No, I didn't say that. :'''Brennan''': Well, I don't see any other alternative. :'''Booth''': No, he didn't run away, because he felt if he abandoned you, he would have lost you forever. Just thought you should know. (Brennan hugs him and Booth smiles) :'''Brennan''': Thanks, Booth. == Season 3 == === ''The Widow's Son in the Windshield'' [3.1] === :'''Clark Edison''': ''[interviewing to be Brennan's new assistant]'' Did I get it right? :'''Cam''': Yes. Construction worker, foundation collapse. :'''Clark''': But I'm not impressing her. :'''Cam''': I'm still not completely certain what Dr. Brennan thinks of me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': So it's been, what, three months since Zack shipped off to Iraq? :'''Brennan''': Uh-huh. :'''Booth''': How hard could it be to replace ''him''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': How did this skull get here? :'''Booth''': Ask our eyewitness. ''[runs off to get a teenage boy]'' Let's go, buddy. ''[brings the boy over to Brennan]'' :'''Boy''': I am not high. :'''Brennan''': Neither am I. Why is he telling me that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boy''': I was driving behind a dump truck, and ''that'' came flying off the back. :'''Brennan''': Do you think the rest of the skeleton is still in the truck? :'''Boy''': No. :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Boy''': It didn't come flying ''out'', if came flying ''off''. It bounced. :'''Booth''': Oh, a bouncing skull. :'''Brennan''': Or perhaps you thought that because you were under the influence of tetrahydrocannabinol. :'''Boy''': What? :'''Booth''': Weed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Why would anyone throw a skull off an overpass? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Private Investigator''': So your husband signed his name to the marriage license with an X? :'''Angela''': Yeah. :'''Private Investigator''': So you married a guy without knowing his name. :'''Angela''': It was Fiji, okay? I was on vacation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Private Investigator''': Right. Well, I'm just gonna need any description that you can provide of your husband... details, dates, photographs, who else was there... :'''Angela''': Tall, I guess. Muscular. Black. That's all I've got. You know what, I think his name had a B in it. Actually, it could have been a K. You know what, I could make you a sketch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': The scraping is uniform in spacing but not depth, which suggests an ungual pattern. :'''Booth''': What's an uncle pattern? :'''Brennan''': No, ungual. Guh. Guh. Un''gual''. ''[to Cam]'' How do you say this in a way that makes sense to Booth? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': You are not gonna hire that one either. :'''Brennan''': I haven't made up my mind yet. :'''Angela''': And when you don't hire him, it just prolongs this lame excuse for you not to go out into the field with Booth. :'''Brennan''': Why would I do that? :'''Angela''': Because, when Hodgins and I ran away from our wedding, we left you and Booth standing at the altar. And that iconic image totally freaked you out. :'''Brennan''': No, it didn't. :'''Angela''': Sweetie, this is not one of those things where you try to keep a secret and I ferret out the truth. This is where I tell you something that's true, so you can catch up to your own reality. :'''Brennan''': Ange, I have no idea what you're talking about. :'''Angela''': ''[nods]'' Which actually proves my point. ''[hugs Brennan]'' I really love you to bits and pieces, sweetie. I know, you love me back. We'll talk again, when you catch up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I mean, how hard can it be to replace one weirdo squint? :'''Cam''': I'd hire Clark, but it's not my call. :'''Booth''': No, no, it is! I mean, you've given Bones enough time, just hire the guy! :'''Cam''': Usually when you get all blustery, it's 'cause you think something's your fault. :'''Booth''': Yeah, well, you know, I did arrest her father for murder. She could be having trouble with that. :'''Cam''': Exposing a parent to the death penalty can have a chilling effect on a partnership. :'''Booth''': Well, look, I asked Bones if that was a problem. She said no. :'''Cam''': Well, I gotta wonder if deep down ''anybody'' is that rational. :'''Booth''': You're not reassuring here, Camille. :'''Cam''': If you're looking for reassurance, find someone who's not such a good friend, Seeley. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': A prodigy violinist disappears and a month later his skull ends up bouncing off a garbage truck? :'''Cam''': Obviously, we are looking for someone who really really hates classical music. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': A cannibalistic violin thief who eats faces? :'''Booth''': Yeah, it's a stretch. But, uh, see how this is? Us working together, very symbiotic. :'''Brennan''': You said that already. What is it, the word of the day? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': He was barely shaving then. What is she doing, playing squeeze and squish with a nineteen-year-old? :'''Booth''': "Squeeze and squish?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': There's only one place that uses the pink rock in its foundations. It's an old deserted bank on the Anacostia River. :'''Cam''': Bingo baby. :'''Brennan''': Why bingo baby? :'''Booth''': I checked into the ownership of the place. :'''Brennan''': Why bingo baby? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Why are your eyes closed? :'''Booth''': I thought that we were going to get blown up. :'''Brennan''': It's just a transmitter. :'''Booth''': Oh, now whoever owns this place knows we're here. :'''Brennan''': I'm curious. In an explosion, how would shutting your eyes help? :'''Booth''': Huh? It just does. Okay, Bones? It just does. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Bones, I mean, you see that is going on here, right? :'''Brennan''': What are you talking about? :'''Booth''': You&mdash;you're getting all of them to help you now. :'''Angela''': Booth, the vault is filled with priceless artifacts. :'''Cam''': And probably material stolen from other victims. :'''Hodgins''': It's going to take months to sift through all that evidence. :'''Booth''': No, this is enabling. You're enabling someone with a mental problem. :'''Brennan''': Zack! :'''Booth''': No, you! You! Bones! You're the one with the mental problem. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You know, you weren't upset because Zack was gone. :'''Brennan''': Yes, I was! :'''Booth''': Okay, yeah, but you were more upset over the fact that I didn't stop him from going in the first place. I mean, look, I could've said to him, "Zack, Iraq is no place for a guy like you." :'''Brennan''': And he'd never have left. You could have stopped him. Why didn't you do that? :'''Booth''': Whatever Zack's deal is, okay, his weirdness, whatever you want to call it... :'''Brennan''': I call it "genius." :'''Booth''': He's a... man. He's a, uhm, he's a strange man, but he's a man who wanted to serve a larger purpose. :'''Brennan''': This is some alpha male rite of passage? :'''Booth''': No. :'''Brennan''': You mean, go to war? :'''Booth''': Wrong. No. Zack needed to leave the nest. The same way you did when you wanted to leave the lab and see the world for the first time. And I helped you do that. How could I stop Zack from doing the exact same thing in his own way? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': 'Cause you have to slow down, right. Take a breath. You have to realize that this is not a sprint, it's gonna be a marathon. Marathon, Bones, coming from the Greek meaning "really, really, really long run." :'''Brennan''': That's not how the word "marathon" originated. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Look, there's something else I gotta know, and it's important. We solid? :'''Brennan''': You and me? Yeah! :'''Booth''': No, not just you and me, squints too. Zack is back for good. Angela and Hodgins have their head back in the game. Cam, she's locked in. :'''Brennan''': Why are you asking me this? :'''Booth''': Because. You and me, we're the center. :'''Brennan''': And the center must hold. :'''Booth''': Right. So, are we gonna hold? :'''Brennan''': Yeah. We'll hold. We're the center. === ''Soccer Mom in the Mini-Van'' [3.2] === :'''Booth''': Look, Bones, all I'm saying is Caroline went to a lot of trouble to get you private visitation with your father, and now you don't want it. :'''Brennan''': The Federal Detention Facility already has visiting areas. :'''Booth''': Yeah, behind two inches of glass. Now you'll be able to give your old man, you know, a hug. :'''Brennan''': I didn't ask for special treatment. :'''Booth''': That's because you don't have to, because you ''are'' special! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': How close are we to identifying the victim? :'''Angela''': Well, this is the skull.

Here we are, all of us, basically alone, separate creatures, just circling each other, all searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places. Some&mdash;they just give up hope because, in their mind, they're thinking, ''Oh, there's nobody out there for me,'' but all of us we keep trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while... every once in a while, two people meet and there's that spark, and, yes, Bones, he's handsome and she's beautiful and maybe that's all they see at first, but making love... making love... that's when two people become one. :'''Brennan''': It is scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space. :'''Booth''': Yeah, but what's important is we try, and when we do it right, we get close. :'''Brennan''': To what? Breaking the laws of physics? :'''Booth''': Yeah, Bones&mdash;a miracle. Those people with their role-playing and their fetishes and their little sex games, it's crappy sex, well, you know, at least compared to the real thing. :'''Brennan''': ''[staring at him, faintly smiling]'' You're right. :'''Booth''': Yeah, but... Wait, I just won that argument? :'''Brennan''': Yep. === ''The Secret in the Soil'' [3.4] === :'''Sweets''': Agent Booth, you've been trying to intimidate me since the moment you stepped in here. And you've succeeded. :'''Brennan''': Don't... scare the boy, Booth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[about the bones]'' No signs of cannibalism. No bite marks&mdash; :'''Hodgins''': &mdash;No condiments. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': ''[finding a rare insect]'' Hello, my exotic princess! :'''Cam''': What a charmingly inappropriate greeting, Dr. Hodgins. :'''Zach''': I think he was talking to the bug. :'''Cam''': Well, now I feel a bit... rejected. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': "He who smelt it, dealt it." :'''Booth''': How do you even know that phrase? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': I'm sorry, but whose side are you on? :''[Brennan opens her mouth to say something, but Booth interrupts her.]'' :'''Booth''': And don't say "the facts," because that just annoys me. :'''Brennan''': You want us to base our actions on your gut?! :'''Booth''': Yes. You have your shiny machines, I have my gut. :'''Angela''': Is it always like this whenever you two are together? :'''Brennan''': Yes! :'''Booth''': ''[at the same time]'' No. :'''Angela''': ''[grins]'' That's kinda hot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': What, you think I have bionic vision or something? :'''Booth''': No, but you got binoculars... they're in every starter stalker kit... so give Angela something to draw. :'''Noel''': I like artists. :'''Angela''': I'll crush you like a bud, dude. Describe the guy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Okay, stop. You don't know Booth. You don't know me, you have a limited view of us based on superficial data you've accumulated on a standardized questionnaire, and a subjective analysis from talking to us that is not at all scientific, so back off. :'''Sweets''': Just trying to help. :'''Brennan''': By questioning his humanity? :'''Booth''': Okay, Bones, now you're going a little bit overboard. He's just a kid. Right? I mean, the worst thing that's probably ever happened to him was he lost at [[w:Mortal Kombat|Mortal Kombat]]. :'''Sweets''': Are you normally this protective of him, Dr. Brennan? :'''Brennan''': We are partners. Our lives depend on being protective of each other. :'''Sweets''': And you feel the same way, Agent Booth? :'''Booth''': Sweets, I can only hope that one day you know what a real partnership is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sweets''': You complement each other. :'''Booth''': No, she never compliments me. Did you compliment me in the questionnaire? :'''Brennan''': "Complement," not "compliment." P-L-E. He means that we complete each other, as a team. :'''Booth''': Yeah, right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': So we get to stay together? :'''Sweets''': Yes... :'''Booth''': I'm sensing a but. :'''Sweets''': However... :'''Brennan''': Same as a but. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': You wouldn't even have coffee with me? :'''Brennan''': Well, in your scenario, we wouldn't even know each other. Because there are no murders. :'''Booth''': ''Were'', I said no ''more'' murders. :'''Brennan''': Then fine, we could have coffee. So that's clear, that I mean, we'd have coffee. That's our relationship. Coffee. :'''Booth''': Yeah, let's... move on. === ''The Mummy in the Maze'' [3.5] === :'''Zack''': I will be the back end of a cow. :'''Hodgins''': So, no costume. :'''Zack''': Naomi from Paleontology has agreed to be my front. :'''Hodgins''': So many jokes, so little time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': The clothing came from a church-run thrift store. :'''Cam''': How could you possibly know that? :'''Zack''': There is no bug or slime specific to church thrift stores. :'''Hodgins''': You don't know that. I'm the bug and slime guy. You're just the auxiliary bone guy who dresses up like the back end of a cow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': And get him to sign the divorce papers. :'''Private investigator''': By "get him" do you mean force him to sign them? :'''Hodgins''': If necessary. Do you have a gun? :'''Angela''': Or just remind him of who I am, and ask him politely. :'''Hodgins''': What are you, Canadian? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': How did you get to and from a remote, nameless Florida key so fast? :'''Amber''': It does have a name. Its name is No Name Key. Your confusion is natural. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amber''': Here's what Mr. Barasa said, 100% verbatim, word for word. :'''Hodgins''': Verbatim means word for word. :'''Amber''': What? :'''Hodgins''': You sort of said it twice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amber''': Okay. Did I mention he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen? Don't blame me. PI code: keep it real. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': I'm Catwoman. ''[Brennan looks at her blankly.]'' ...The superhero. :'''Brennan''': Oh! :'''Cam''': One of the most powerful female superhero figures. :'''Brennan''': ''[scoffs]'' I don't think so. :'''Cam''': Are you kidding? Catwoman? :'''Brennan''': Can you fly? :'''Cam''': I have nine lives. :'''Brennan''': Super strength, super speed, force people to tell the truth? :'''Cam''': I think I'm pretty fast. :'''Brennan''': "Pretty fast" is not super speed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Who's more powerful, Catwoman or Wonder Woman? :'''Hodgins and Zack together''': Wonder Woman. :'''Brennan''': I concur, vehemently. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': ''[as Wonder Woman]'' Sorry, the bullet bounced off my bracelet! Just like Amazonium! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': It's a Halloween party. We could be Wonder Woman and&mdash;what's Superman's secret identity? :'''Booth''': Clark Kent. :'''Brennan''': Yes. We could be Wonder Woman and Clark Kent after a really, really bad date. :'''Booth''': Yeah, bad date because you shot me. :'''Brennan''': It was only a flesh wound. And you dropped me on my head. :'''Booth''': After you shot me. Okay, I think I got you on this one. Okay, Wonder Woman? === ''The Intern in the Incinerator'' [3.6] === :'''Cam''': Would it be insensitive to mention that my father's sixtieth birthday is coming up? :'''Booth''': Sixty already? Wow. :'''Cam''': Uh-huh. We're having a big birthday dinner for him on Thursday night. :'''Booth''': All right, you give him my best. :'''Cam''': You can do it yourself. You have to come with me. :'''Booth''': What? No, not your family. :'''Cam''': I can't spend the night defending the fact that I still live alone to my family. :'''Booth''': You never told them we broke up? :'''Cam''': You want to make a man miserable on his sixtieth birthday? :'''Booth''': You want me to pretend that I'm your boyfriend? :'''Cam''': Yes, between six-thirty and ten on Thursday. :'''Booth''': Ugh, Camille, you're an adult, you can't live your life afraid of what your family thinks. :'''Cam''': Seeley, it's not going to be like this forever. One day he'll die! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': I never liked Kyle Aldrige. :'''Zack''': He told me once that having a high IQ was no excuse not to bathe. :'''Angela''': I don't believe that. :'''Zack''': No, those were his exact words, "no excuse not to bathe." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Why do you want me to interrogate Aldrige? :'''Booth''': Because he thinks I'm stupid. :'''Brennan''': You're not! :'''Booth''': Thanks, Bones, I know. Listen, during the interrogation, always refer to the victim by her first name. :'''Brennan''': Well, you're the one that told me that personalizing the victim doesn't work with sociopathic serial killers. They lack all empathy. ''[poking Booth]'' You told me that! :'''Booth''': We are not looking for Gorgonzola today! :'''Brennan''': Gormogon. Gor-mo-gon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aldridge:''' Why am I talking to you? :'''Brennan:''' What time did you leave the Jeffersonian that night? :'''Aldridge:''' Shortly after 11. Dr. Brennan, surely I merit someone higher up on the food chain that an FBI consultant. :'''Brennan:''' Kyle, I know you get everything you want by flaunting your superior intellect. But that won't work with me. :'''Aldridge:''' Why is that? :'''Brennan:''' Because I'm smarter than you are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth:''' Cam's sister kissed me. :'''Hodgins:''' Duuude. :'''Booth:''' Don't call me dude. All right, listen, I was supposed to be Cam's boyfriend, but only between the hours of 6:30 and 10. She kissed me at 6:20, so technically that doesn't even count. Cam went to her office to get something, Felicia&mdash;she just grabbed me and planted one on me. I didn't even see it coming, I didn't even have a defense maneuver planned. :'''Hodgins:''' Oh wow... All right, all right, uh, how are you, uh, how are you gonna break it to Cam? :'''Booth:''' What? Why would I do that? :'''Hodgins:''' You want her to find out from her sister? :'''Booth:''' Ah, this is worse than when we were a couple. ''[Hodgins starts laughing.]'' I really should take my gun out and shoot you now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': This has got nothing to do with Goobagon. :'''Brennan''': Gormogon! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth:''' ''[after accessing some files with Cam's password; to Brennan]'' I know your password too. It's "daffodil." :'''Brennan:''' I never told you that! :'''Booth:''' What&mdash;I got eyes! I mean, you guys aren't exactly CIA material. :'''Hodgins:''' "Daffodil"? :'''Brennan:''' What? They're pretty.

I don't care. :'''Felicia:''' I don't want him. :'''Booth:''' You don't? :'''Felicia:''' ''[to Cam]'' No, I was just trying to get back at you for being so perfect all the time. :'''Cam:''' So you admit it. :'''Felicia:''' Like you're a saint? ''[to Booth]'' She used to go into my closet with all my dolls and say that they were having a party but that I wasn't invited. :'''Cam:''' You were five, and they did not like you. :'''Felicia:''' Typical, start a fight so we miss lunch. :'''Cam:''' Oh, you made reservations? I'm surprised. I thought we'd have to eat off a cart in the street. :'''Booth:''' Wow, you two can lunch after all this? :'''Felicia:''' Please, like you can ruin a meal. ''[laughs]'' :'''Booth:''' Okay, that's it. I don't know who you think&mdash; :'''Cam:''' Don't raise your voice at her, Seeley. :'''Booth:''' What? :'''Cam:''' Let's go. Let him calm down. Wow. ''[They start to walk out.]'' :''Felicia:''' Why did you guys break up? What did he do? :'''Booth:''' It wasn't me, I&mdash; <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': What you're taking hard is, uh, the fact that it happened in your house. :'''Brennan''': It's not my house! :'''Booth''': Not where you sleep! Okay, your favorite place, the house of reason, the Jeffersonian. :'''Brennan''': No. It's not my favorite place. :'''Booth''': Yes, it is. :'''Brennan''': What? No, it's not. How do you know? :'''Booth''': Daffodil. Daisy. Jupiter. ''[pours another shot into two new cups]'' Okay, I'll tell you what else I know. ''[He lifts his cup in a toast.]'' You were hoping that it was Gorgonzola. ''[They take the shots.]'' :'''Brennan''': Gormogon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Yes. Are you going to betray me? :'''Booth''': No. ''[They toast.]'' :'''Brennan''': Nonetheless, I shall be vigilant. ''[They take the shots.]'' :'''Booth''': "Nonetheless"? ''[They laugh.]'' === ''The Boy in the Time Capsule'' [3.7] === :'''Zack''': I had a Michael Jackson glove. I've never mentioned that before. :'''Hodgins''': ''[entering platform]'' I loved Chevy Chase. We all have our crosses to bear. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': No. You know what? This is crazy. It's&mdash;it's not right. Tell him that it's not right. :'''Brennan''': Is it? :'''Booth''': Oh! You're on his side. Why don't you go play Voltron with him? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': There was this girl, Karen Highsley, and we were under the bleachers one night, personally, with me. :'''Brennan''': Got it, you were having sex in the dirt under the bleachers. :'''Booth''': Excuse me, I'm a gentleman, I brought my sleeping bag. :'''Brennan''': Did you fail to perform sexually? :'''Booth''': What? :'''Brennan''': 'Cause that might actually count as a humiliation. ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Booth''': ''[runs after her]'' Will you just wait? Will you just ''allow'' me to tell my story? :'''Brennan''': Fine. :'''Booth''': Thank you, all right. So this girl, she had this game, where she would ask me a question&mdash; :'''Brennan''': What kind of question? :'''Booth''': It doesn't matter, okay. So if I got the question wrong, I'd have to take off a piece of my clothing. So of course I knew all the answers, but I pretended that I didn't. :'''Brennan''': So you could take off your clothes. :'''Booth''': Exactly. Now, my point is, I'm standing there, you know, in my socks and my St. Christopher medal, she runs off. She runs off with the sleeping bag and all my clothes and I'm standing there starko. :'''Brennan''': Well, why would she do that? :'''Booth''': Well, I suppose she heard I was under the bleachers with another girl the week before. :'''Brennan''': Okay, this is a story about sexual prowess, Booth! You're bragging! :'''Booth''': ''[laughs]'' I had to run across the campus buck naked! :'''Brennan''': You're laughing about it now! You enjoyed displaying your penis, it showed alpha male mastery. ''[lowers her voice]'' Only one other person knew about Brainy Smurf; it was my mother. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': It was quicker. She was a cheerleader. She was hot. He couldn't wait. It's the boy thing again. Or maybe he was peeping through her window. Could have been a peeper. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Smurfette is a stupid, shallow Smurf who only had her looks. Look... you're better than Smurfette, you have your looks, and a whole lot more. :'''Brennan''': You did bring that for me. To charm me in case I didn't find your humiliation so impressive, but I did. :'''Booth''': Aha, so I did impress you. :'''Brennan:''' That's what impressive means, dummy. You're such a Philistine. :'''Booth''': I'll tell you what. You can hold on to this, and it will remind you how far I've come. :'''Brennan''': I forgive you for snorting, Booth. :'''Booth''': Evolution is a long, long process. It takes hundreds of years. :'''Brennan''': Thousands. :'''Booth''': Why do you have to always correct me? :'''Brennan''': To help you evolve. === ''The Knight on the Grid'' [3.8] === :'''Cam''': Dr. Brennan looked a little hurt when I told her you asked me to come out here instead of her. :'''Booth''': No, Bones's feelings, they don't get hurt. She's not like you. :'''Cam''': Like me? :'''Booth''': Yeah. A girl. :'''Cam''': Yeah, the word you're looking for is "woman"&mdash;who incidentally makes more money than you. :'''Booth''': Touchy! :'''Cam''': What can I say, I'm just a girl with feelings. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Hey, look, Bones, you are gonna stay with a friend, check into a hotel, right? :'''Angela''': She can stay with me. :'''Booth''': Great. :'''Brennan''': Thank you, no, why? :'''Cam''': Mr. Kneecaps has your home address? :'''Brennan''': I can't freak out every time somebody Googles me. :'''Booth''': Cam, she goes nowhere alone. :'''Brennan''': Cam, don't listen to him. :'''Booth''': Cam, who are you more afraid of, me or her? :'''Brennan''': Booth&mdash; :'''Cam''': Whoa! ''[holds up one hand to get them to stop]'' So this is what it's like to be a kindergarten teacher. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Don't look at me, my idea of art is a half-naked woman on the side of a van. :'''Sweets''': That's interesting. :'''Booth''': No, it's not interesting, Sweets, 'cause it was a joke. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sweets''': Really? It's awesome! It's like the Sith Lords, man. There's always only two of them. :'''Booth''': Did you just Star Wars us? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': I do this under extreme protest. :'''Booth''': The truck will be here any minute. :'''Brennan''': Who knows about this? :'''Booth''': Just you and me, Bones. Not even the driver knows what we're transporting. :'''Brennan''': The MRI at Bethesda will tell us if Gormogon hid anything within the bones. :'''Booth''': Like what? :'''Brennan''': ''[a bit louder]'' I don't know. That's why we need the MRI at Bethesda. :'''Booth''': Shhhhh... :'''Brennan''': ''[whispering]'' What? :'''Booth''': ''[whispering]'' Don't have to scream, I'm right here. :'''Brennan''': Riiiight. Okay. :'''Booth''': Are you done? We're kinda on a schedule. :'''Brennan''': ''[loudly again]'' Yes. I'm done. Now we can load it onto a truck and take it to Bethesda. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': There are levels of "bad guy," Russ, and you're not even on the first level. :'''Russ''': Why do I feel like you just called me a sissy? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay. While I'm here, I'm gonna get a court order to monitor Arthur Graves visitors. Okay. Just in case Gorgonzola decides to come back and visit his old master. :'''Brennan''': You're doing that Gorgonzola thing on purpose, aren't you? === ''The Santa in the Slush'' [3.9] === :'''Zack''': Victim appears to have odd-shaped remodeling on his sacrum with a sclerotic margin around the injury. :'''Hodgins''': Some kind of old injury? :'''Zack''': Two small indentations here, ''[he points to the screen]'' consistent with trauma from impact with some sort of cloven hoof. :'''Hodgins''': Cloven like... a reindeer? :''[Angela enters.]'' :'''Hodgins''': Oh, thank God you're here. This is so wasted on me alone. :'''Zack''': Evidence is evidence, whether anyone is there to hear it or not. :'''Hodgins''': ''[to Angela]'' Our victim&mdash;was kicked by a reindeer. :'''Angela''': Oh, get the ''hell'' outta here. :'''Zack''': ''[points to the screen again]'' The sacrum. :'''Angela''': Wait. The evidence actually adds up to an old, fat man with a white beard, in a custom-made Santa suit, who smoked a clay pipe and got kicked in the ass by a reindeer? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': Where did he work? :'''Ralph''': Uh, employment agency called Temp Time. On 7th, by the Convention Center. :'''Booth''': Ha! Couldn't have been Santa! :'''Brennan''': Why? :'''Booth''': Because Santa wouldn't have worked at a temp agency! :'''Brennan''': Well, why not? His work is seasonal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': No. It's not a ''lie'' lie, Bones. It's more like everybody agreeing that up to a certain age, kids deserve to live a different kind of truth. :'''Brennan''': Okay, by that reasoning, what we should do is figure out a lie Russ could tell the girls so they wouldn't know he's in jail. :'''Booth''': That is a brilliant Christmas idea. :'''Brennan''': It was intended to be a scathing and incisive comment. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Brennan is asking Caroline for a letter so her dad can have Christmas in a conjugal trailer.]'' :'''Brennan:''' So will you? :'''Caroline:''' I will. :'''Brennan:''' You will?

Take it or leave it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Parker:''' Are you going to be all alone at Christmas? :'''Booth:''' Me? Nah, I'm not gonna be alone. I'll be with Bones and all of our friends. :'''Brennan:''' I'm going to Peru. :'''Booth:''' See? We're all going to Peru. :'''Parker:''' You're having Christmas in Africa? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': What is with the mistletoe? :'''Brennan''': I was gonna talk to you about this. Caroline wants us to kiss under the mistletoe. :'''Booth''': What?! :'''Brennan''': It's the only way she'll make Christmas for my family. :'''Booth''': What? By having us kiss? :'''Brennan''': Yes. :'''Booth''': Why? :'''Brennan''': Because she's feeling puckish. :'''Booth''': Puckish? What's that mean? :'''Brennan''': Listen, Booth! She's going to be here any second. Do you want some gum? ''[puts gum in her own mouth]'' :'''Booth''': No, my breath is just fine. All right, look. I'll have a&mdash;talk with Caroline. :'''Brennan''': No. :'''Booth''': No? :'''Brennan''': I'm only telling you out of professional courtesy. :'''Booth''': What? :'''Brennan''': So that you won't be surprised. :'''Booth''': Yeah, when you say "kiss," you mean like kiss-kiss, like on both cheeks. :'''Brennan''': No, the lips. Like brother and sister or colleagues. French people meeting on the street. :'''Booth''': Caroline's feeling puckish, huh? :'''Brennan''': It means playful and impish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Caroline:''' Well, look at that. Mistletoe. ''[Booth starts to protest.]'' You take a step to your right and you'll be right under the cute little sprig. : ''[Caroline watches them and raises an eyebrow, waiting for Brennan to follow through on her end of the deal. Booth incoherently tries to protest but Brennan doesn't give him much time before she leans in and kisses him, grabbing the lapels on his jacket.

When Brennan pulls back, they both appear to have been affected more than they thought as well.]'' :'''Brennan:''' ''[trying to regain her composure]'' Was that enough steamboats? :'''Caroline:''' ''[flabbergasted]'' Plenty. A whole flotilla. :'''Booth:''' I don't know what that means, but, um, Merry Christmas. :'''Brennan:''' It was like&mdash;kissing my brother. :'''Caroline:''' You sure must like your brother. :'''Booth:''' She does. :'''Brennan:''' I do. :'''Booth:''' ''[to himself]'' She does. :'''Caroline:''' The trailer's all arranged. You're good to go, ''chérie''. Merry Christmas. :''[She leaves, still flabbergasted.

I, um, I really should&mdash;I should get back and&mdash;see if, uh, the forensic guy has got&mdash;anything yet on Moussa's clothes&mdash; :'''Brennan:''' That's a good idea. Yeah, I got&mdash;stuff&mdash;to do too. Yeah. :'''Booth:''' Yeah. :'''Brennan:''' That&mdash;for&mdash;with bones. :'''Booth:''' ''[starts chewing gum]'' I&mdash;I understand completely.

''[He puts it back in his mouth and leaves.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sweets:''' I don't understand. Has there been some kind of crisis? :'''Brennan:''' Yes, I have a crisis. :'''Booth:''' Bones, it was just mistletoe. :'''Brennan:''' Not the kiss, that was nothing. :'''Sweets:''' You kissed? :'''Booth:''' Mistletoe. :'''Brennan:''' That's not the crisis. :'''Sweets:''' Was there tongue? :'''Booth:''' You know what, get your own sex life. :'''Brennan:''' That has nothing to do with sex. :'''Booth:''' Nothing! It was... :'''Brennan:''' Totally sexless. :'''Sweets:''' I'm all ears. :'''Booth:''' Could you just take your hat off, there? ''[Sweets obeys.]'' :'''Brennan:''' Booth, who is a very honest person, says that at this time of year deception is necessary for the happiness of little children. :'''Booth:''' I'm being misquoted. :'''Sweets:''' Booth is absolutely right. :'''Booth:''' She got the gist. :'''Sweets:''' There is a fictional element to Christmas. :'''Brennan:''' You mean the whole birth-of-a-savior rigmarole? :'''Booth:''' It is not rigmarole! :'''Sweets:''' No, Dr. Brennan, it's the feeling of Christmas. What people call the Christmas spirit. It's a kind of dream or hope we carry with us from childhood. But as adults... :'''Booth:''' Are you including you in that? :'''Sweets:''' As adults we're imbued by the pragmatic routines of daily life, which make it difficult for us to regard anything with childlike wonder. But you know, it's all right for us to try. We put on silly hats, drape trees in sparkly lights, and wrap gifts in garish paper. And that's good for us. It's not only all right to allow children the transient experience of innocence and joy, it's our responsibility. :'''Brennan:''' Okay. :'''Booth:''' Okay? :'''Brennan:''' I found that very helpful. :'''Booth:''' That's what I've been saying the last four days! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Russ''': You're gonna help me lie to the girls? :'''Brennan''': Well, apparently, it's not morally wrong to lie at Christmas. :'''Russ''': What if they know I'm lying? :'''Brennan''': Well, apparently, sometimes&mdash;lying is a kind of gift. I'm hazy on the rules, but the idea is even if they know you're lying, they know you're doing it out of love. :'''Russ''': Where are you getting this?

It's a clinical term for that part of the body, Booth. :'''Sweets:''' Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth. Would it be fair to say that you use work to avoid confronting personal issues? :'''Booth:''' Why?

Booth has pie. I don't like pie. :'''Booth:''' You really should just... give it a chance. :'''Brennan:''' I find it too sweet. :'''Booth:''' Okay, there! We talked about pie. Nothing to do with work. :'''Brennan:''' It... is better when we discuss murder. :'''Sweets:''' I'd like to see you guys in a social situation.

He was born a cute little puppy, and then the people who adopted him wanted to kill him because they were too stupid to realize... he would grow into a big dog. :'''Booth''': ''[quietly]'' That's good. :''[Brennan looks at him mournfully, slightly teary-eyed.]'' :'''Brennan''': Ripley was a good dog. He didn't want to fight, but he did it to please his master. And he didn't want to attack a human being, but he did it&mdash;to please his master. ''[holding back tears]'' You know, it wasn't Ripley's fault his master was cruel and selfish. Like all dogs, Ripley only saw the good in people. ''[nods adamantly]'' Dogs are like that. People should take a lesson. :''[Brennan takes out the dog tag she bought for Ripley and pats it into the ground on Ripley's grave.]'' :'''Brennan''': ''[continues to pat the ground with the shovel; to Booth]'' Is that enough? :'''Booth''': Yeah. As much as a good dog, hey ''[places his hand on her back]'', could hope for. Even with "limited vocabulary skills." ''[Brennan stands up.]'' Okay? :''[Brennan gives him a watery look and a rueful smile. She places her head on his shoulder and they embrace.]'' === ''The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond'' [4.05] === :'''Detective Paynter''': The body parts were found in this evaporation pit. :'''Booth''': That's purple! :'''Detective Paynter''': The kid said it turned purple when he peed in it. :'''Brennan''': For future reference, this is more of an anomaly than a missing head. :'''Detective Paynter''': Sad comment on your life, Doc. :'''Booth''': Again, snippy. If my back wasn't bad, I'd hit you. :'''Brennan''': Booth, I can take care of myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angela''': These are children's shoes, but they're size 11. :'''Cam''': So you think our victim was a giant toddler? :'''Brennan''': That would show up in the bones. :'''Cam''': Sarcasm does not play well in the forensic platform. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sweets''': These action figurines, they're awesome. :'''Booth''': Still living at home there, huh, Sweets? :'''Sweets''': No, I have my own place, and before that I lived with a woman. All right? :'''Brennan''': Was that woman your mother? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brennan''': What's wrong with him? :'''Booth''': Sweets, what are you doing? :'''Sweets''': I'm putting myself in the mind of an obsessive compulsive in order to figure out where I might conceal a memory enhancer, psycho-sexual proxy. :'''Booth''': Right, right. What's that mean? :'''Brennan''': Masturbatory aid. :'''Booth''': Oh. Check the shoes. :'''Sweets''': Good. :'''Brennan''': What?! He's not going to find it in the shoes. Do all boys keep their masturbatory aids in their shoes, or is that particular to you? :'''Booth''': That's for me to know and you to find out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gary Tushman''': The publishing game's changed. You know what I mean, Dr. Brennan. :'''Brennan''': No, I do not. :'''Booth''': Try me, Mr. Tushman. :'''Tushman''': Book writing is no longer about good writing, per se. It's about marketability. A book of the author. There's a reason why your photo takes up the entire back cover of your books. :'''Brennan''': Because I'm a very good writer. :'''Tushman''': You're serviceable, but your success is contingent upon your image as a hot, scientist chick. :'''Brennan''': That's not true, is it? :'''Booth''': No, of course not. Don't call my partner a chick. What's the matter with you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': What are you doing? :'''Brennan''': I'm throwing out my book. :'''Booth''': It's still on your hard drive, right? :'''Brennan''': No, not anymore it's not. :'''Booth''': You erased it? Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop! :'''Brennan''': I don't want to be a writer anymore. :'''Booth''': Oh, why? Because of what that publisher said? He was an idiot. Did you see his glasses? :'''Brennan''': Well I don't want to be a sexy scientist. :'''Booth''': Well that's like me saying I don't want to be a sexy FBI agent. We can't change who we are. ===''The He In the She'' [4.07]=== :'''Brennan''': Do you consider yourself to be one of my "brighter grad students," Mr. Nigel-Murray? :'''Vincent Nigel-Murray''': Yes, and so do you, Dr. Brennan. :'''Booth''': I am ''not'' calling this kid Mr. Nigel... anything. :'''Vincent:''' Vincent. Or Vince, or Vinny, Vin... Vinchenza. Actually, uh, I had this girlfriend, once, who used to call me "Vino Delectable" because of how my&mdash;uh, you don't... need to know that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': We already have Agent Booth to make lame jokes. Let's stick to facts. :'''Vincent''': The rods in the human eye are sensitive enough to detect the light emitted by a struck match from as much as a mile away on a clear night. :'''Cam''': ''[mildly surprised]'' Okay, let's stick to relevant facts. :'''Vincent''': The sockets have been ground down. :'''Cam''': Okay, that could be useful. ''[looks expectantly at Vincent, who smiles but says nothing]'' Especially if you have an explanation. :'''Vincent''': Plastic surgery. Oh, uh, she had ''[gestures with his hands in front of his chest]'' fake boobs, too. :'''Cam''': "Sockets," "eyeballs," "boobs"... I wouldn't use these words when conferring with Dr. Brennan. :'''Vincent''': I know&mdash;with her it's all "supra-orbital nimbus" and "mammary implants." But you seemed a more colloquial sort. :'''Cam''': Well, in that case, what about the "backbone"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hodgins''': Does Brennan put "Mr." before your name? :'''Vincent''': Yes. :'''Hodgins''': That's her very subtle way of saying you're not a doctor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cam''': ''[about the victim]'' "He"? :'''Vincent''': Mmm-hmm. Triangular pubis, no evidence of a ventral arc. The pelvic bone speaks: it says "I be male." :'''Cam''': The pelvic bone can say whatever it wants to say&mdash;this part here ''[points in the general direction of the lower body]'' says "female." :'''Vincent''': What part's that? :'''Cam''': It's called a vagina. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booth''': Okay, but from now on he is always a she. She was a he when she died, so she deserves the respect due to... him... or her. Okay? Person! :''[Both Brennan and Sweets give him puzzled stares.]'' :'''Brennan''': Okay, uh, I'm a genius and I'm confused. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|0460627|Bones}} * [http://tvtdb.com/bones Episode transcripts] at TVTDB.com [[he:עצמות (סדרת טלוויזיה)]] 95hr7pi8oq7p9frjlpvqujmxdc8tp39 George Takei 0 97747 3147621 3052500 2022-07-26T18:32:09Z HearthHOTS 3120771 /* Quotes */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:George Takei by Gage Skidmore 2.jpg|thumb|George Takei]] '''[[w:George Takei|George Hosato Takei]]''' (born [[April 20]], [[1937]]) is an American actor of Japanese decent.

He never seems to get it right. I gave him, "It's Takei, as in way." I even said, "as in gay"… I told him, "It's Takei, rhymes with toupee." I thought that would do it. ** Quoted in Doug Elfman, [http://www.lvrj.com/news/26861469.html "Takei celebrates legacy of diversity,"] ''Las Vegas Review-Journal'' ([[2008-08-12]]) ** Describing how he advised [[William Shatner]], who reportedly could never pronounce his name correctly, how to say it aloud. ===2011=== * The so-called "don't say gay" law is premised on the misguided belief that, by not talking about gay people, they can simply make us disappear. I am here to tell Tennessee and all LGBT youth and teachers who would be affected by this law, that I am here for you. In fact, I am lending my name to the cause. Any time you need to say the word "gay", you can simply say "Takei". For example, you could safely proclaim you are a supporter of Takei marriage. If you're in a more festive mood, you can march in a Takei pride parade. Even homophobic slurs don't seem as hurtful if someone says, "That is soooo Takei." ** {{citation |title=George Takei vs. Tennessee's "Don't Say Gay" Bill |publisher=YouTube |date=2011-05-19 |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRkIWB3HIEs |accessdate=2011-05-20}} ** Regarding the Tennessee Senate Judiciary Committee passing state senator [[Stacey Campfield]]'s bill SB49, which bans mentioning homosexuality in public schools prior to ninth grade ===2015=== * He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn't belong there. And for him to say, slaves have dignity. I mean, doesn't he know that slaves were in chains? That they were whipped on the back.

These turkeys would exit the womb doused in ''gravy;'' gravy filled with the ''giblets'' from a monkey. The French craved it, and, as a result, turkey became the only food source for France, which is now called RoboFrance 29. I was later killed by the chickens!

He ain't right! :'''Turkatron''': I knew that. And that's why I was sent here to erase his mind..and ''my'' mind as well. I had to be reformulated by rogue chicken scientists for the rebellion. They crafted my sleek, turkey body which allowed for safe passage through the time rift. So, in summation: the bird comes with me…dead or alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Turkatron''': Is that a taco pie? :'''Meatwad''': Mm-hmm. :'''Turkatron''': Taco pie?! :'''Meatwad''': I added food coloring 'cause it's a holiday, but it turned black 'cause I added all the food coloring I had. And I ate this butter straight out of the tub, 'cause it tastes good. There's a reason behind everything. :'''Turkatron''': Enjoy those tacos now, for in a thousand years they will be illegal! Ha ha ha ha-I think we all know why. :'''Meatwad''': We know why. :'''Turkatron''': Anti-taco legislation! Disestablishmentarianism! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Turkatron''': You know, that last bite, it reminds me of this ''severely long story about how the chickens became a master race through a freak accident involving radiation, and interestingly enough, to me, a marshmallow!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shake''': Is that the same guy? :'''Frylock''': Yeah, I think so.

Did this happen to you and not to me?! Well, listen up everybody, he's about to tell us all his amazing story! The one that happened to me and not him. :'''Meatwad''': …I-I'm sorry, you—you've got it— :'''Turkatron''': Are you sure I have it, Are you sure since it happened to me that I should be the one to tell it?

Why? :'''Master Shake''': Well, this is what I did, see: you know how the flies have been a problem? :'''Frylock''': ...no, I don't. :'''Master Shake''': And remember when I left all the meat out because I saw Mr. David Lynch I'm-On-TV do it and he got on TV from doing it and I did it and I didn't get on TV from doing it? :'''Frylock''': No, I don't remember that. :'''Master Shake''': Well, I did, and because of this, of course, you get rats. :'''Frylock''': Ughhh. So why does the house smell? :'''Master Shake''': ''I'm not doooone!'' Look, when we go in there...you need to watch where you step. :'''Frylock''': And why is that?! :''[part of the house explodes]'' :'''Meatwad:''' '''DAMN!''' :'''Master Shake''': …that is part of the reason. Now let's go in and remember what I said. <hr width="50%"/> :''[One of Shake's landmines blew up and the house is now missing a wall]'' :'''Master Shake''': Its opened up now.

You'll understand one day when you're older! :'''Frylock''': I'll send a crew for my stuff later.

Pais wrote books documenting the lives of these two great physicists and the contributions they and others made to modern physics. == Quotes == [[File:Geodetic effekt.jpg|thumb|right|I would think that what will strike people most when, hundreds of years from now, they will look back on our days is that this was the age when the exploration of space began, the microchip was invented, revolutions in transport and communication virtually annihilated time and distance, transforming the world into a "global village"…]] * '''The first thing [[Niels Bohr|Bohr]] said to me was that it would only then be profitable to work with him if I understood that he was a dilettante.''' The only way I knew to react to this unexpected statement was with a polite smile of disbelief. But evidently Bohr was serious. He explained how he had to approach every new question from a starting point of total ignorance. '''It is perhaps better to say that Bohr's strength lay in his formidable intuition and insight rather than erudition.''' ** Testimony in ''Niels Bohr : His Life and Work as Seen by His Friends and Colleagues'' (1967) edited by Stefan Rozental, p. 218; later in his own work, ''Niels Bohr's Times : In Physics, Philosophy, and Polity'' (1991) * '''Progress leads to confusion leads to progress and on and on without respite.'''

Yet I would think that what will strike people most when, hundreds of years from now, they will look back on our days is that this was the age when the exploration of space began, the microchip was invented, revolutions in transport and communication virtually annihilated time and distance, transforming the world into a "global village," and relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and the structure of the atom were discovered, in brief that this has been the century of science and technology. ** Address given in Copenhagen [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/articles/pais/index.html?print=1 "Physics in Denmark: The First Four Hundred Years" (6 March 1996)] === ''Subtle is the Lord'' (1982) === :<small>''"Subtle is the Lord…" : The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein'' (1982)</small> * '''Of course, relative [[citation]] frequencies are no measure of relative importance.

I was just short of twenty-two then. <br> I was in hiding for two years and two months, something like that. In all that time I went out very, very little, just once in a great while, after dark. Once I even took the train to Utrecht, forty miles from Amsterdam, with my yellow star, this star which I still have. Why did I go? I just wanted to visit some friends. I was a little bit crazy, a little bit insane. ** On life in hiding from Nazi authorities, p. 48 * '''One of the absolute rules I learned in the war was, don't know anything you don't need to know, because if you ever get caught they will get it out of you.''' ** p. 50 * I knew all the time I was going to get through the war.

The second thing was this amazing trauma, where I forgot the names of everyone I knew. That was very strange.

I don't suffer the reliving of these memories with tremendous pain. It's very odd, but it's finished for me. That, of course, is never quite true. It isn't finished. I am like all of my generation; we are marked people. But I don't suffer; I can talk to you about it. '''Most of my family was killed.

Primarily a crime drama, the show stars Alan Davies as the titular character, an eccentric magician's assistant who also solves seemingly supernatural mysteries through his talent for logical deduction and knowledge of illusionism. No matter how magical the mystery — a locked-room murder or a seemingly impossible theft — the detective would come up with a very down-to-earth explanation as to what happened. Although a crime drama, the series contained often broadly comical touches as well. == Series 1 == === ''The Wrestler's Tomb'' === :''Jonathan is posing as a camera operator'' :'''Maddie:''' It's called a Steadicam. It eliminates jerks. :'''Jonathan:''' So does Clint Eastwood, I wouldn't want him strapped to my chest. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan:''' My big passion. The golden age of illusion: Robert Houdin, Makelyne, Devant. I was born a hundred years too late, basically. <hr width=50%/> :'''Maddie:''' ''[Seeing Jonathan's collection]'' I take it this is a disease that struck in childhood? :'''Jonathan:''' I never wanted to be a magician as such; swanning about with silk hankies. It was... I dunno... The ingenuity at the back of it. Always fascinated the hell out of me. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan:''' People beg me to explain something; it's the last thing they want to hear, 'cause you're disproving a miracle. Houdini walked through a wall two bricklayers had built onstage: [[People]] swore he had the power to dematerialise. You find out he he used a trapdoor under a carpet, it's too mundane: you [[feel]] cheated. That's all magic is, an illusion. === ''Jack in the Box'' === :'''Maddie:''' You know Jack Holliday died? :'''Jonathan:''' Yeah, it's the only thing he ever did that made me laugh. :'''Maddie:''' Oh, that's great! The poor man's dead! :'''Jonathan:''' I bet that won't stop him overacting, though. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan:''' I nearly rang you. I'd get as far as the last digit, but something would always stop me. I suppose it was the thought of getting sucked into another one of your grisly murder investigations. You know how you always fear the worst :'''Maddie:''' [<i>laughs brightly</i>] :'''Jonathan:''' Stop this car. :'''Maddie:''' Jonathan... :'''Jonathan:''' [<i>scoffing</i>] 'Flush out the carbon monoxide with some sea air'? <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan:''' No Time to Lose. :'''Maddie:''' Right. Where are we going? :'''Jonathan:''' Anywhere! As far away from here as possible. That could have been my head skewered to the matress! :'''Maddie:''' Now just hang about. You can't tell me you've unravelled this whole thing and then bugger off! What kind of spineless cretin are you? :'''Jonathan:''' No special kind. Just your average cretin... with a train to catch. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan:''' We mustn't confuse what's impossible with what's implausible. Just about everything I dream up for a living relies on stuff that's ''highly'' implausible. That's what makes it so hard to work out; no-one thinks you'd go to that much trouble to fool your audience. === ''The Reconstituted Corpse'' === :'''Maddie:''' ''[Talking to her Publisher]'' I've got this theory that Jonathan Creek is himself an illusion. Just when you think you've found him, he drifts through your fingers like smoke. <hr width=50%/> :'''Shelford''': That was unfortunate. I completely misjudged the water pressure on those taps and, of course, it went everywhere. Fortunately! It's not urine, so it won't stain. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan''' So let's run through this from the top. The wardrobe was empty; you closed the door, brought it upstairs, through this door... along here... around here... and into this room, against that wall. By which time, somehow or other, the cupboard has acquired a body. Brutally battered to death across the back of her head. Hmm. ''[Pause]'' It's a good one isn't it? :'''Maddie''': 'A Good One'?! Is that all you can say? Somewhere between here and the ground someone's planted a corpse in my cupboard and I didn't even see it happen! <hr width=50%/> :'''Jonathan:''' ''[After checking out the wardrobe]'' Nope. All seems pukka. No panels, no breakaways, no phantom joints... just a wardrobe really. ''[Pause]'' You want to know how it was done? :'''Maddie:''' Yes. :'''Jonathan:''' That makes two of us. === ''No Trace of Tracy'' === :'''Roy Pilgrim:''' ''[On the phone with his solicitor]'' No, Mr Danzigger "a trifle baffling" won't do. A trifle baffling doesn't get near it. My bride-to-be's flushed me down the toilet, I'm looking at charges of abduction and possibly murder and all because I wasn't smart enough to lie my way out of this thing when it really mattered. They can put the entire cast of ''Goodbye, Mr Chips'' on the witness stand, but it doesn't change what I saw. If you're any kind of lawyer, you'd better start getting your act... ''[sees Jonathan and Maddie at the gate]'' ...ah, look I'll call you back. <hr width=50%/> :''[Jonathan and Maddie are waiting at Roy Pilgrim's garden gate]'' :'''Maddie:''' ''[Indicating the french windows of the house beyond the gate]'' That's the one, then. You could hardly miss her from here, so when she pressed this bell, someone must have let her in. ''[Presses intercom button]'' :'''Jonathan:''' What are you doing? :'''Maddie:''' We've got to check it out. :'''Jonathan:''' I can't go in there! :'''Maddie:''' Why not? :'''Jonathan:''' Roy Pilgrim!? I can't meet Roy Pilg...you're talking about mythology. You reduce someone like that to flesh and blood and the whole thing is destroyed, the whole icon. :'''Maddie:''' Jonathan, you're beginning to sound like a prat. :'''Jonathan:''' Sorry. :'''Roy Pilgrim:''' ''[Over the intercom]'' What does it take to make you go away? :'''Maddie:''' Look, I'm sorry about yesterday ''(She posed as a detective)'', but I'm really quite interested in helping you actually. If you'd just take a minute to let us in. :'''Roy Pilgrim:''' What are you? :'''Maddie:''' Right now Mr Pilgrim? We're the only hope you've got. === ''The House of Monkeys'' === :''[Maddie discovers Cathy had slept with her father-in-law]'' :'''Cathy Strange:''' What you knew? How? :'''Ingrid Strange:''' I may be a wizened old bat in your eyes, Cathy. That doesn't mean I'm as blind as one. Some other time I'll give you a lesson in subliminal bonding gestures. For God's sake, I'd seen it coming for months. I'd almost say he needed it to flush it out of his system. Afterward when he told me and all the guilt came out, he threw himself on my mercy and... :'''Cathy Strange:''' You're lying! Elliot would never tell... :'''Ingrid Strange:''' Kathy! You have the body of a woman and the brain of a sexually stunted newt! == Series 2 == === ''Danse Macabre'' === :''[Maddie answers the door]'' :'''Stranger:''' Miss Magellan? Stephen Claithorne. I believe you're a collector of mysteries? :'''Maddie:''' What?! I'm sorry, I've only just this second woken up. :'''Stephen:''' We're likely to get into all sorts of tangles if we play questions and answers. So with your permission. ''[He walks in]'' I'll just begin at the beginning. :'''Maddie:''' Well before you do, if this some tale about a missing hymn book, it's a bit early... :'''Stephen:''' It's murder, Miss Magellan. Cold, clinical and calculated. And it took place last night at my home in Oxfordshire. The midday papers will be full of it. What they won't explain, what no-one can explain is how the killer evaporated into thin air, right in front of everyone's eyes. Some miracles you don't want to believe in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maddy:''' Come on, I've admitted defeat. Let's get on with it; the bit you enjoy, treating me like a moron. :'''Jonathan:''' No. The bit where you enjoy making me feel like I'm treating you like a moron. When you're perfectly capable of reasoning it out for yourself if only you'd stop taking things at face value. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maddy:''' I'm sorry, Jonathan, what level of surrealism are we operating on here? :'''Jonathan:''' Y'see, this is where you and everyone else give up. You're making the big mistake of sticking to what's likely rather than what's logical. === ''Time Waits For Norman'' === :'''Woman''': You're saying there's actually a real person called Jonathan Creek, he's not just a narrative conceived for story telling purposes? :'''Man''': All that stuff, he invents all those tricks. :'''Madeline Magellan''': And he lives in a windmill, it's all for real. :'''Woman''': Right. Isn't that funny? :'''Madeline''': What? :'''Woman''': Suddenly I find him less believable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan''': She made all of the moves and now I'm boxed in. We've got nothing whatsoever in common and if I try and break it off she'll think it's because of you know what [her baldness]. Which she's obviously very sensitive about. :'''Madeline''': I'm not surprised! Didn't you get suspicious when you were running your fingers through her hair and she wasn't even in the room?! === ''The Scented Room'' === :''[Jonathan has refused to reveal the solution]'' :'''Maddy:''' It's no sweat, y'know. I'll work it out for myself. I've seen everything you've seen. I'm not a complete and utter moron. :''[Jonathan starts to leave]'' :'''Maddy:''' Yes? :'''Jonathan:''' I never said anything. :'''Maddy:''' Look, just give me a leg-up to get me started. Please? Just one tiny hint? :'''Jonathan:''' Look to Eric's Spam sandwich. It contains the key to the whole affair. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonthan:''' Did it ever occur to you that someone could have cut it without actually being in the room? Using a high-powered laser through the glass in the ceiling. :'''Maddy:''' You are Kidding! :'''Jonathan:''' Of course I am, the idea's ridiculous. In fact the way this was worked was so sublimely simple, when I tell you, you'll wonder why you didn't get it in five seconds flat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan:''' You mean Pot Pourri? One of the biggest cons of the Twentieth Century. People pick it up in a shop, what's the first thing they do? ''[Mimes sniffing a bowl of Pot Pourri]'' "mmm, smell this one! That's sensational! I'll have some of that!" Of course it is if you shove your face in it. Put some in a bowl in the middle of the room, you can't smell a bloody thing. There should be a label on the packet "only effective when inserted up nostril" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adam Klaus:''' ''[On the phone to Jonathan]'' If you could choose the manner of your own death, would it be (A) Peacefully in your sleep? (B) Breathlessly with Nicole Kidman? or (C) Being dismembered by a homicidal illusionist? If 'c', simply hang up now. === ''The Problem at Gallows Gate'' === :'''Jonathan:''' How come when I stay at your place you get the bed and I get the sofa, but when you stay at my place you still get the bed and I get the sofa? :'''Maddy:''' Because you were being terribly chivalrous and gentlemanly and very solicitous of my welfare ''[Pause]'' Don't I get anything to eat? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maddy:''' Where do you keep your salt? :'''Jonathan:''' See that cupboard just above you? Top Shelf. Right at the back... there's a leaflet from the hospital explaining why it's bad for your arteries. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan:''' I'm trying to achieve a level of abstract thought here. Trying to prise this whatever-it-is out of my memory. :'''Maddy:''' Well what is it? Let me have a go. :'''Jonathan:''' I told you, I can't put it into words. It's purely intuitive. It's just a feeling. It won't come into focus until it's ready. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan:'''But what you see isn't always what's happening. And what you all saw that night, I've got a horrible feeling, was a very brilliantly concieved hoax. :'''Maddy:''' Here we go, he's gonna tell us how it was done. === ''Mother Redcap'' === :'''Investigator:''' Ever since the man who owned and ran this place died, it was 1969 - a man named William Amberghast, the old Mother Redcap pub in Edmonton has been property market poison. Whether it's superstition or what, I don't know. Would you buy a hundred year-old building where seven men have been quite literally terrified to death? :''[Pause]'' :'''Investigator:''' The way it's told: the first one, Mr Clifford Jennings, managing director of a big clothing firm, was staying overnight with a lady friend in a special guest room that was kept for visitors. Round about midnight he was preparing for bed. The death certificate said it was his heart. The truth was, no-one knew what had killed him. The girl was convinced he'd seen something... outside. "Something so utterly horrible it set off a fatal seizure". Between 1947 and '51 there were five other cases, deaths that which have never been explained from that day to this. All in the same room. All after they'd looked out of the window in the middle of the night.Not a mark or scratch on any of the bodies. No evidence they'd been poisoned or suffocated. Four of them were found on the floor the next morning. Three were actually seen at the moment of death, collapsing in what appeared to be a fit of mortal terror. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jonathan has been abducted and brought to a police station]'' :'''DCI Ken Speed:''' I'm sorry about the neanderthal tactics of my two constables. They were under the impression they were bringing a suspect in. :'''Jonathan:''' So I gather. I confessed to two armed robberies before we reached the first set of traffic lights. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan:''' So the deal, as I see it, is this: If I come up with a solution that leads to the killer's arrest, by next week I'm highest new entry on the Tong's UK death list. Not much of an incentive really. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maddy:''' What's that theory? That absolutely everything that happens in the world is connected to everything else. I read an article once. If a man breaks wind in Hounslow, it can effect a hurricane in Java. I think I know the man they're talking about, he travels on the Circle Line. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan:'''What was it Sherlock Holmes said to Watson? :'''Maddy:''' Get your kit off and give us a kiss? == Christmas Special (1998) == === ''Black Canary'' === :'''Adam Klaus:''' ''[To Jonathan]'' I always thought your love life would make a great play by Samuel Beckett, a great nihilistic quality it has. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maddy:''' So what's the story on this mother of hers, Marella Carney, the 'Black Canary'? She was big business back in her day, wasn't she? :'''Jonathan:''' The problem with Marella Carney was that most of her tricks relied upon the fact that she had a twin sister. :'''Maddy:''' Don't be ridiculous. :'''Jonathan:''' Who, from what I hear, did all the difficult bits. Marella was claustrophobic, so it was her sister who had to climb into all the cabinets and coffins. You can do amazing stuff when you work with a double, but it's not exactly a test of ingenuity. :'''Maddy:''' You're telling me there were two of them? They kept that quiet, didn't they? :'''Jonathan:''' Well they're hardly going to put in the program notes, are they? 'NB: whilst miraculously escaping from a locked trunk, Miss Carney will be assisted by her twin sister Beryl!' Anyway that was all before the accident of course. :'''Maddy:''' What accident? :'''Jonathan:''' It's a bit on the grisly side. Best not discussed. :'''Maddy:'''''[Forcefully]'' What accident? :'''Jonathan:''' Not sure you've got the stomach for it. :'''Maddy:''' I've got the stomach for it? Don't give me that macho protective number! :'''Jonathan:''' Rehearsals one day for one of their big routines. Sister Beryl's strapped down to a bench with an electric buzz saw coming at her. ''[Maddie looks queasy]'' Mechanism jammed, the thing just kept coming. She was literally sawn in half. :'''Maddy:''''' Oh my god! :'''Jonathan:''' Lengthways. :'''Maddy:''''' LENGTHWAYS!? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jonathan and Maddy are driving through a snowstorm]'' :'''Jonathan:''' How anyone can drive a car at this time of year without a windscreen washer. :'''Maddy:'''It's got a windscreen washer! :'''Jonathan:'''Yeah, but it's not much use on the back seat is it? :'''Maddy:''' The guy who was gonna fit it did a runner, it's not my fault. A bit of fresh air won't harm you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''DI Gideon Pryke:''' I can smell guilt on a man like dung on a donkey. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Maddy's interrupted Jonathan's evening]'' :'''Maddy:''' I thought I might be useful. :'''Jonathan:''' What as? A contraceptive! == Christmas Special (2001) == === ''Satan's Chimney'' === :'''Carla Borrego''': Have you ever slept in a castle with a moat before? :'''Jonathan''': I once passed out in front of a block urinal. == Series 4 == === ''The Chequered Box'' === :'''Jonathan''': ''(To Adam, who is buried underground)'' You all right down there still? Your brain's not getting starved of oxygen or anything? :'''Adam''': ''(Drowzily)'' Who is this? :'''Jonathan''': It's me, Adam. :'''Adam''': Right. I knew that, of course.

In high school, I was untouchable! :'''High school kid''': Hey, grow up man! :'''Dad (VO)''': They were all just jealous! Jealous of my powers!

You want the most expensive ice cream. I make suggestion of cheaper ice cream, but no, you want expensive one. And after I'm giving you ice cream, you pay with PENNIES. Do you know how long it took me to count those pennies? :'''Dexter''': Emm... at an average human rate, I'd estimate about 5 hours and 33 minutes? :'''Ice Cream Man''': Precisely. And when the counting was done, it is time to put pennies in safe. Then I'm noticing my shoelaces untied. Now, I couldn't very well stop to tie my shoes since somebody had given me a heavy jar of pennies to hold, and the ice cream man rules say to keep any amount of money OVER a dollar in the safe. So, I trip, and I break my tooth. The pain, it is so bad. My girlfriend left me, I lose apartment, I lose car, I'm forced to live on the freeway with wild animals, I CAN'T EVEN EAT ICE CREAM BECAUSE OF THE PAIN! '''ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PENNIES!!'''

While you slumbered, I began an analysis of your primitive laboratory finding it to be highly inefficient. I discovered that by salvaging useful components and destroying obsolete ones, I was able to create this tower capable of performing functions thousands of times greater than its predecessor, rendering a former laboratory and its creator ''obsolete''. And all obsolete materials must be destroyed. :'''Dexter''': ''[chuckles]'' Well, then. It sounds like you had a busy night. I'll just unplug it for a little while and you can get some rest.

You look like Dexter. :'''Ultrabot 2000''': Not Dexter. Ultrabot 2000. Dexter is obsolete. :'''Dee Dee''': You sound like Dexter too, Dexter. :'''Ultrabot 2000''': Dexter is obsolete and must be destroyed. I am Omnibot, the most efficient life form in the universe. :'''Dee Dee''': Boy, you sure act like Dexter. And if you look like Dexter, sound like Dexter and act like Dexter, then you MUST be Dexter! :'''Ultrabot 2000''': ''[Ultrabot 4000 Observation Units aim at it]'' I am not Dexter. Dexter must be destroyed. :'''Dee Dee''': Whatever you say, Dexter. OK, see you later, Dexter. ''[leaves]'' :'''Ultrabot 2000''': No. Wait. Don't listen to her.

I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN! <hr width=50%> :'''Old Man Dexter''': I remember! I REMEMBER! Dee Dee was the one who saved the future! :'''Dexter''': What? No way! :'''Adult Dexter''': That didn't just happen! :'''Muscular Dexter''': I wanted to be the one who saved the future! :'''Old Man Dexter''': Argh! That girl! :''[The Dexters start building robots.]'' :'''Dexter''': I'll teach her to mess up my future savings. :'''Adult Dexter''': Yeah, we'll show her! :'''Muscular Dexter''': Ooh, that little ding dong! :'''Old Man Dexter''': We'll get her once and for all! :''[The Dexters finish building robots.]'' :'''Dexter''': Robots! Destroy the one who saved the future! ''[The robots walk towards the time machine.]'' Well. Huh. That should take care of Dee Dee. It looks like the future is back on track. :'''Muscular Dexter''': I've got a lot of cleaning up to do but with a positive flow of the core everything should work out fine. :'''Dexter''': Well then, we should be getting back to our own times. Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Muscular Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Old Man Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Adult Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Muscular Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Old Man Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Adult Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Muscular Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Adult Dexter''': Goodbye, Dexter. :'''Old Man Dexter''': Goodbye, Billy. <hr width=50%> :'''Dexter''': Boy, that wasn't exactly what I expected, but I did turn out pretty cool in the future. ''[sees himself fighting the robots and is surprised]'' Wait a minute, I'm still here fighting those robots. ''[breaks the fourth wall]'' But wait, those are the robots I just built to get Dee Dee while we're building the future. But now I'm about to destroy them before I even decide to go into the future. So, that means when I came back, I came back too far. Back before I ever left. So I must have come... No I... Or they were... Oh, forget it. Time travel hurts my brain. ==Season 3== ===Streaky Clean=== :'''Dexter''': [singing] Making the science, la la, la, making the science- [He grabs a test tube and it accidentally flies upwards.] Oopsy. [It falls on the table, splattering on his shirt.] Oh, would you look at that? How could I concentrate to the full capacity of my genius covered in such a filth? [He walks away] Blech! (Dexter, now in his room, is undressing himself and replaces his messy lab coat, gloves and shoes with new, clean ones from his closet. After redressing, he jumps triumphantly.) :'''Dexter''': [He walks back to his work area.] Now, back to the business. [He begins mixing his substance again.] Yes, yes! [He mixes more vigorously] This will be my greatest experiment ever! [He proudly holds his arm up, not realizing his beaker is about to fall over, which it does, making the same mess. Dexter holds his lab coat by wear the spill is.] Oh, for the sake of Pete... (Dexter returns to his room to change again.) :'''Dexter''': [Again, he walks back to his work area.] Okay now, here we a-go! [He slowly rises up to his work area. He carefully grabs his beaker.] Carefully, ''carefully.'' [He holds up a test tube and begins to pour another substance into the beaker.] Yes, that is it. Perfect, ''perfect!'' [A drop splashes Dexter's lab coat.] Oh HECK this is turning out to be! (Dexter, once again, returns to his room to throw away another lab coat. He goes over to his closet to get another one. To his surprise, there are none left.) :'''Dexter''': Hmm...'''MOM...!!!!''' (A breeze blows through Dexter's bedroom window, causing him to shiver) :'''Dexter''': What is taking her so long? :'''Dexter''': (Dexter pokes his head out his door) Hey, mom! Shake a leg or something! [his mom arrives and opens the door but he doesn't notice] Mom! Mom! [he finally notices her and covers himself in embarrassment] HEY! [runs back in his room] :'''Mom''': (Chuckles) Oh, come on out, Shy Boy. Here's your little play clothes all fresh and clean. But I just can't understand how you manage to stain your little outfit so quickly. :'''Dexter''': Yeah, yeah, mom. It's a real enigma. [grabs his lab coat] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have much work to be doing. [takes his lab coat and gloves with him and closes the door] :'''Dad''': The boy's right, dear. [puts his hands on his wife's hips] There is much work to be doing. <hr width="50%"> (Dexter streaks through the meadow) :'''Dexter''': Oh boy, that was a close one. I just have to get to Ruthy's Field, and I will be home free! Home... (Dexter streaks past a hippie couple sitting on a rock who smile as they watch him pass by, thinking he's celebrating the freedom of his nakedness) :'''Dexter''': '''FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!''' :'''Male Hippie''': Right on, brother! === Mind Over Chatter === :'''Dexter''': ''[in his mind]'' Yuck! Mom's oatmeal! Tastes like barf! :'''Mom''' ''[gasps]'' Dexter! Don't be rude! :'''Dexter''': ''[confused]'' Huh? :'''Dexter''': ''[in his mind while watching Dee Dee scarfing down her oatmeal]'' That sister of mine! What a ferocious pig! :'''Dee Dee''': Hey! I'm no pig! :'''Mom''' : That is enough Dexter! Time for school. :'''Dexter''': But wait Dad, what- :'''Dad''': The answer is no! Now get! :'''Dexter''': ''[in his mind]'' Dad, what a stubborn poopoo doody head! :'''Dad''': I heard that! :'''Mom''': And we are going to have a serious talk about your potty mouth when you get home from school today! === Momdark === :'''Mom''': Huh, what did he mean when he said, "your lab", Dexter? :'''Dexter''': I don't know. === A Mom Cartoon === :'''Mom''': Oh Dad will just love this! <hr width="50%"> :'''Shop Announcer''': Attention shoppers, we have a red light sale on aisle 8 on... latex gloves! <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': Would you look at that, the very last pair! Must be my lucky day! <hr width="50%"> :'''Shop Announcer''': Attention shoppers,... === A Third Dad Cartoon === :'''Dad''': Aw well, I guess we'll have to try again next week. ==Season 4== === Beau Tie === :'''Beau''': I've always loved science. === Dexter's Library === :'''Dexter''': Ah, the sweet and silent solitude of the school library. :'''Boy''': Oh yeah, we're so prepared for this. This is going to be a great game, we're going to kicky Booty. :'''Girl''': Our new cheers are so awesome. Wait until you see them, you're not gonna believe it! :'''Dexter''': Ahem! ''[puts the piece of paper that says "No talking in the Library!!!" in the book on the table]'' ''[takes the book from the boy]'' No book for you, ''[takes the other book from the girl]'' and no book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[stops the boy trying to eat an apple]'' No, uh-uh. You know the rules. No food or drink in the library. ''[takes the book from him]'' No book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[takes the book that is stepped on by a girl trying to reach the other book, she falls down]'' Mis-using school property, you know better than that. No book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Ah, here we are. 701.328. ''[gasps]'' Hello! What is this?! "Green Bacon and Eggs"! What is a children's book doing in coelacanth paleobiology? ''[gets enraged]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Miss Salinger, Miss Salinger. :'''Salinger''': Yes, what is it, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': I have found an inappropriately placed piece of fiction. :'''Salinger''': Really? Well, be a dear and place it in its proper home. :'''Dexter''': ''[drops the book]'' Ahh. Library patrons speaking at unacceptable volumes, eating snacks, abusing school property, and now ''this''. Ahh, it is all very disappointing. ''[breaks the fourth wall]'' You know, I like Miss Salinger and all, but if this were my library, such behavior within these hallowed shelves would not be tolerated. :'''Salinger''': Oh, my, look at the time. Dexter, I have to be at a staff meeting. I need you to keep an eye on things for one hour. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Finally, a school library dedicated to the pure appreciation of the English language. Dexter, you have done it again. Next! ''[a girl arrives with a book in her hand]'' Sarah Goldfarm. Another early return, I see. ''[Sarah gives the book to him]'' Ha ha ha! "Stranger Rick": August 2001. A solid subject matter, ''[drops the book]'' but a little sophomoric for second grade. Would you not agree? ''[Robot burns the book]'' Robot, please retrieve some less frivolous reading for Miss Goldfarm? Perhaps something from coealacanth paleobiology, a personal favorite subject of mine. :'''Robot''': ''[goes in search of a book in a library cabinet and returns to Dexter]'' Cannot confirm target. :'''Dexter''': "Cannot confirm target"? You illiterate Android! ''[slaps the robot]'' Must I spell everything out for you recycled soup cans? ''[writes the piece of paper and puts it on the Robot's head]'' Well! ''[The Robot goes in search of a book again]'' ''[whistles]'' Heh heh heh! :'''Robot''': ''[returns to Dexter]'' System error. Cannot confirm target. :'''Dexter''': ''[gets angry]'' Arrrr! ''[punches the Robot's head]'' WHY MUST I DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[grumbles as he climbs the stairs in the librarian cabinet]'' ...stupid-looking robots. There. "Coealacanth Paleonbiology". Now, how difficult was that? ''[opens his eyes and is surprised]'' "GREEN BACON AND EGGS"?!!! BUT I DO NOT LIKE "GREEN BACON AND EGGS"!!! There is not a walnut brained ape among you who is worthy to share my world-class collection of written history! <hr width="50%"> :'''Salinger''': Dexter, I am very disappointed in you. I leave you in charge of the library for one hour, and look what you do. Just look at this mess. :'''Dexter''': But-- but-- I... they... :'''Salinger''': I'm giving you the maximum library penalty. :'''Dexter''': ''[gasps]'' No! Not that! Please, Miss Salinger. No! :'''Salinger''': That's right. You can only check out 4 books a week, instead of 5. :'''Dexter''': ''[sobs]'' It's not very nice of you. NOOOOOOOOO! :'''Crowd''': Shhh! === 2Geniuses 2Gether 4Ever === :'''Dexter''': Ah, all done. :'''Mandark''': It's about time. Well, let's see what we've got. ''[takes off the blindfold]'' Ah! At last, my darkest creation is completed! :'''Dexter''': ''[gives the remote control to Mandark]'' After you. :'''Mandark''': May I? ''[grabs the remote control]'' With a push of this button, I, Mandark, will unleash a mind-bending transmission which will put the entire universe under my control. And that means you, too, Dorkster. I have double-crossed you once again. And now it will all be mine! ''[laughs]'' Ha! :''[Mandark tries pressing the button over and over, and Dexter plugs the power cord into an electrical outlet, and the invention explodes by displaying the title of the television series as a reference to the intro]'' :'''Dexter''': Ha! Well, well, well, Mandark, who double-crossed whom? :'''Mandark''': This was supposed to be mine, Dexter! All mine, not yours! Mine! :'''Dexter''': Well, like I always say: if you can't play with the big dogs, stay on the porch. Ha ha! ''[The "The End" logo in white appears on the screen]'' Hey! What is going on? I am trying to wax poetic here. === Folly Calls === :'''Dexter''': ''[sees Dee Dee's hair cut off and laughs insanely]'' OH, YOU'RE KILLING ME! ''[laughing and snorting]'' :'''Dee Dee''': So? :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee. We have been through this scenario so many times before, and you know that I am helpless to assist you for one simple and very basic reason: you are STUPID! :'''Dee Dee''': Oh, please, Dexter. Please! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please! Oh, please, Dexter! Use your vast and unlimited knowledge of science to help me get my hair back! ''Pretty please.'' :'''Dexter''': Well, no. :'''Dee Dee''': Alright, Dexter, but remember... ''[grows bigger]'' ''I am your big sister!'' ''[grows some more]'' ''AND I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE A BUG...'' ''[grows again]'' '''''...IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY!''''' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee, pay attention. You are only to apply one drop of this stuff. Do you understand? One drop, not 2 drops, not 3 drops, not 75 drops. JUST ONE DROP! GOT IT?! :'''Dee Dee''': Yeah. Of course I got it, Dexter. Just one drop. ''[sings and leaves the lab]'' One drop, one drop, one drop, one drop... <hr width="50%"> :''[Dee Dee screams while running entering the lab]'' :'''Dexter''': Let me guess. You used more than one drop. :'''Dee Dee''': It was too one drop, Dexter! Just a really, really ''big'' one drop! :'''Dexter''': Hmm... === Comic Stripper === :'''Dexter''': You did it all wrong, Mandark. I figured out you were copying "Mister Misery" all along, so I played your own game against you. ''[Mandark pretends to be yawning]'' And then you have the nerve ''[throws the "Mister Misery" comic]'' not to even follow the dumb story! Oh, and one other thing... WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS STUPID QUACKING?! :'''Mandark''': Well, you see, Dexter. I went to buy "Mister Misery" but the store was all sold out. So I picked up a copy of "Dangerous Duck" instead. :'''Dexter''': And do you know why "Mister Misery" was all sold out? Because ''I'' bought them all. :'''Mandark''': Hmm. Well, then. If you bought them all, ''how did you expect me to know all "Mister Misery"'s new fight moves then?!'' ''[Dexter is upset and a donkey appears]'' QUACK. ''[teases Dexter and walks away]'' === Chicken Scratch === :'''Dexter''': (Screams in shock) What are the strange protrusions? I must investigate immediately. ''[ Dee Dee arrives while singing]'' Uh-oh. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': OK, Dee Dee, way too much has happened this morning so, please, GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!!! ''[closes the door]'' I have no time for her foolishness today. :'''Dee Dee''': ''[opens the door]'' But, Dexter, I'm not in your labor... [She stops and looks at Dexter] YOU'VE GOT CHICKENPOX! :'''Dexter''': Chickenpox? What is this pox of the chicken? :'''Dee Dee''': Poor Dexter, so knowledgeable in science but doesn't have enough common sense to know what chickenpox is. Well, a long time ago, a group of evil, contaminated chickens escaped from jail, and started to break into children's houses where they picked away, giving huge, itchy pimples. And if you stratch them, you turn into an evil, contaminated chicken! :'''Dexter''': Are you crazy, woman? I've teach you les--! ''[scratches]'' :'''Dee Dee''': Bagock. :'''Dexter''': (Screams in fear) I do not want to be an evil, contaminated chicken. :'''Dee Dee ''': Then, DON'T SCRATCH! ''[leaves Dexter's room]'' :'''Dexter''': That seems simple enough. ''[scratches and stops]'' I'd better keep myself busy so as not to think about the itching. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Perfect. ''[thinking while scratching]'' Now, how much dioxide detrolium should I add? Hmm... what is the correct amount? ''[stops thinking and scratching and laughs]'' Silly me! ''[scratches again]'' Avoiding scratching this whole time? ''[freaks out]'' ROBOT! More drastic measures must be taken. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': Robot, if you see me scratching a part of my body, I want you to zap me with 100 watts of electrons. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter]'' :'''Dexter''': I wasn't ready, Robot. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter again]'' :'''Dexter''': I said I wasn't ready. :'''Robot''': Yes, boy. :'''Dexter''': No, Robot, wait! ''[Robot zaps him again]'' This is not working. ''[Robot zaps him again]'' STOP, ROBOT! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': A new invention must be created. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[after creating his invention]'' Success! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[destroys the straps after failing to hold back the itching]'' GOTTA SCRATCH!!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dee Dee''': Hello! [She stops and looks at Dexter] [Dee Dee screamed and ducks under her bed] [She peeks out] Dexter, is that you? :'''Dexter''': ''[turns to Dexter who is now turned into a chicken]'' Yep, I scratched. == Lost Episode == === Rude Removal === :'''Dee Dee''': Oooh! Dexter's got gas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rude Dexter''': Where the f'ck are we? :'''Rude Dee Dee''': Beats the cr'p out of me! :'''Dexter''': (With a British accent) Why, you're in Dexter's Laboratory, silly. I'm Dexter, and this golden-haired angel behind me is my charming sister, Dee Dee. :'''Dee Dee''': (With a British accent) Charmed! :'''Rude Dexter''': Ah, f'ck off! :'''Dexter and Dee Dee''': ''[gasp]'' Oh dear! <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': I hope you're hungry, 'cause I made a ''[trips over Rude Dexter]'' very...

''[spits at Mom]'' :'''Mom''': ''[faints]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': ''[angry]'' Dexter! No, absolutely not! You cannot have any dessert! :'''Rude Dexter''': Why? You want it all to yourself? :'''Mom''': ''[gasps, then faints]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': Now to clean those filthy mouths. :'''Dexter''': ''[to the audience]'' Oh, sh't! ==External links== {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0115157|title=Dexter's Laboratory}} [[Category:1990s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:Elementary school TV shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:TV shows revived after cancellation]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Teletoon Retro shows]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about children]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about families]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about siblings]] [[Category:Television series by Hanna-Barbera]] o9w4pb05zv3cfq08wgw2z9aqmgmy2hc 3147672 3147472 2022-07-26T19:34:59Z 2603:6081:3000:2D26:A11A:5A5D:EE20:7E33 /* No Power Trip */ wikitext text/x-wiki Episodes == Season 1 == === Dimwit Dexter === *'''Factory Worker #1''': Sir, he can't make much long! *'''Factory Worker #2''': Just a little longer. *'''Factory Worker #3''': His sim asses are firing in arming incredibly rage. *'''Factory Worker #4''': Puncher rising! *'''Factory Worker #5''': She can't take it! *'''Factory Worker #6''': She's gonna blow! *''[Angrily, Dexter's face turns red, and Dexter begins to let out a loud yell with rage]'' *'''Factory Worker #7''': RUN!!!

Do you know how long it took me to count those pennies? :'''Dexter''': Emm... at an average human rate, I'd estimate about 5 hours and 33 minutes? :'''Ice Cream Man''': Precisely. And when the counting was done, it is time to put pennies in safe. Then I'm noticing my shoelaces untied. Now, I couldn't very well stop to tie my shoes since somebody had given me a heavy jar of pennies to hold, and the ice cream man rules say to keep any amount of money OVER a dollar in the safe. So, I trip, and I break my tooth. The pain, it is so bad.

While you slumbered, I began an analysis of your primitive laboratory finding it to be highly inefficient. I discovered that by salvaging useful components and destroying obsolete ones, I was able to create this tower capable of performing functions thousands of times greater than its predecessor, rendering a former laboratory and its creator ''obsolete''. And all obsolete materials must be destroyed. :'''Dexter''': ''[chuckles]'' Well, then. It sounds like you had a busy night. I'll just unplug it for a little while and you can get some rest.

Dexter is obsolete. :'''Dee Dee''': You sound like Dexter too, Dexter. :'''Ultrabot 2000''': Dexter is obsolete and must be destroyed. I am Omnibot, the most efficient life form in the universe. :'''Dee Dee''': Boy, you sure act like Dexter. And if you look like Dexter, sound like Dexter and act like Dexter, then you MUST be Dexter! :'''Ultrabot 2000''': ''[Ultrabot 4000 Observation Units aim at it]'' I am not Dexter. Dexter must be destroyed. :'''Dee Dee''': Whatever you say, Dexter. OK, see you later, Dexter. ''[leaves]'' :'''Ultrabot 2000''': No. Wait. Don't listen to her.

So, that means when I came back, I came back too far. Back before I ever left. So I must have come... No I... Or they were... Oh, forget it. Time travel hurts my brain. ==Season 3== ===Streaky Clean=== :'''Dexter''': [singing] Making the science, la la, la, making the science- [He grabs a test tube and it accidentally flies upwards.] Oopsy. [It falls on the table, splattering on his shirt.] Oh, would you look at that? How could I concentrate to the full capacity of my genius covered in such a filth? [He walks away] Blech! (Dexter, now in his room, is undressing himself and replaces his messy lab coat, gloves and shoes with new, clean ones from his closet. After redressing, he jumps triumphantly.) :'''Dexter''': [He walks back to his work area.] Now, back to the business. [He begins mixing his substance again.] Yes, yes! [He mixes more vigorously] This will be my greatest experiment ever! [He proudly holds his arm up, not realizing his beaker is about to fall over, which it does, making the same mess. Dexter holds his lab coat by wear the spill is.] Oh, for the sake of Pete... (Dexter returns to his room to change again.) :'''Dexter''': [Again, he walks back to his work area.] Okay now, here we a-go! [He slowly rises up to his work area. He carefully grabs his beaker.] Carefully, ''carefully.'' [He holds up a test tube and begins to pour another substance into the beaker.] Yes, that is it. Perfect, ''perfect!'' [A drop splashes Dexter's lab coat.] Oh HECK this is turning out to be! (Dexter, once again, returns to his room to throw away another lab coat. He goes over to his closet to get another one. To his surprise, there are none left.) :'''Dexter''': Hmm...'''MOM...!!!!''' (A breeze blows through Dexter's bedroom window, causing him to shiver) :'''Dexter''': What is taking her so long? :'''Dexter''': (Dexter pokes his head out his door) Hey, mom! Shake a leg or something! [his mom arrives and opens the door but he doesn't notice] Mom! Mom! [he finally notices her and covers himself in embarrassment] HEY! [runs back in his room] :'''Mom''': (Chuckles) Oh, come on out, Shy Boy. Here's your little play clothes all fresh and clean. But I just can't understand how you manage to stain your little outfit so quickly. :'''Dexter''': Yeah, yeah, mom. It's a real enigma. [grabs his lab coat] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have much work to be doing. [takes his lab coat and gloves with him and closes the door] :'''Dad''': The boy's right, dear.

This is going to be a great game, we're going to kicky Booty. :'''Girl''': Our new cheers are so awesome. Wait until you see them, you're not gonna believe it! :'''Dexter''': Ahem! ''[puts the piece of paper that says "No talking in the Library!!!" in the book on the table]'' ''[takes the book from the boy]'' No book for you, ''[takes the other book from the girl]'' and no book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[stops the boy trying to eat an apple]'' No, uh-uh. You know the rules. No food or drink in the library. ''[takes the book from him]'' No book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[takes the book that is stepped on by a girl trying to reach the other book, she falls down]'' Mis-using school property, you know better than that. No book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Ah, here we are. 701.328. ''[gasps]'' Hello! What is this?! "Green Bacon and Eggs"! What is a children's book doing in coelacanth paleobiology? ''[gets enraged]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Miss Salinger, Miss Salinger. :'''Salinger''': Yes, what is it, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': I have found an inappropriately placed piece of fiction. :'''Salinger''': Really? Well, be a dear and place it in its proper home. :'''Dexter''': ''[drops the book]'' Ahh. Library patrons speaking at unacceptable volumes, eating snacks, abusing school property, and now ''this''. Ahh, it is all very disappointing. ''[breaks the fourth wall]'' You know, I like Miss Salinger and all, but if this were my library, such behavior within these hallowed shelves would not be tolerated. :'''Salinger''': Oh, my, look at the time. Dexter, I have to be at a staff meeting. I need you to keep an eye on things for one hour. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Finally, a school library dedicated to the pure appreciation of the English language. Dexter, you have done it again. Next! ''[a girl arrives with a book in her hand]'' Sarah Goldfarm. Another early return, I see. ''[Sarah gives the book to him]'' Ha ha ha! "Stranger Rick": August 2001. A solid subject matter, ''[drops the book]'' but a little sophomoric for second grade. Would you not agree? ''[Robot burns the book]'' Robot, please retrieve some less frivolous reading for Miss Goldfarm? Perhaps something from coealacanth paleobiology, a personal favorite subject of mine. :'''Robot''': ''[goes in search of a book in a library cabinet and returns to Dexter]'' Cannot confirm target. :'''Dexter''': "Cannot confirm target"?

"Coealacanth Paleonbiology". Now, how difficult was that? ''[opens his eyes and is surprised]'' "GREEN BACON AND EGGS"?!!! BUT I DO NOT LIKE "GREEN BACON AND EGGS"!!! There is not a walnut brained ape among you who is worthy to share my world-class collection of written history! <hr width="50%"> :'''Salinger''': Dexter, I am very disappointed in you. I leave you in charge of the library for one hour, and look what you do. Just look at this mess. :'''Dexter''': But-- but-- I... they... :'''Salinger''': I'm giving you the maximum library penalty. :'''Dexter''': ''[gasps]'' No! Not that! Please, Miss Salinger. No! :'''Salinger''': That's right. You can only check out 4 books a week, instead of 5. :'''Dexter''': ''[sobs]'' It's not very nice of you. NOOOOOOOOO! :'''Crowd''': Shhh! === 2Geniuses 2Gether 4Ever === :'''Dexter''': Ah, all done. :'''Mandark''': It's about time. Well, let's see what we've got. ''[takes off the blindfold]'' Ah! At last, my darkest creation is completed! :'''Dexter''': ''[gives the remote control to Mandark]'' After you. :'''Mandark''': May I? ''[grabs the remote control]'' With a push of this button, I, Mandark, will unleash a mind-bending transmission which will put the entire universe under my control. And that means you, too, Dorkster. I have double-crossed you once again. And now it will all be mine! ''[laughs]'' Ha! :''[Mandark tries pressing the button over and over, and Dexter plugs the power cord into an electrical outlet, and the invention explodes by displaying the title of the television series as a reference to the intro]'' :'''Dexter''': Ha! Well, well, well, Mandark, who double-crossed whom? :'''Mandark''': This was supposed to be mine, Dexter! All mine, not yours! Mine! :'''Dexter''': Well, like I always say: if you can't play with the big dogs, stay on the porch. Ha ha! ''[The "The End" logo in white appears on the screen]'' Hey! What is going on? I am trying to wax poetic here. === Folly Calls === :'''Dexter''': ''[sees Dee Dee's hair cut off and laughs insanely]'' OH, YOU'RE KILLING ME! ''[laughing and snorting]'' :'''Dee Dee''': So? :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee. We have been through this scenario so many times before, and you know that I am helpless to assist you for one simple and very basic reason: you are STUPID! :'''Dee Dee''': Oh, please, Dexter. Please! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please! Oh, please, Dexter! Use your vast and unlimited knowledge of science to help me get my hair back! ''Pretty please.'' :'''Dexter''': Well, no. :'''Dee Dee''': Alright, Dexter, but remember... ''[grows bigger]'' ''I am your big sister!'' ''[grows some more]'' ''AND I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE A BUG...'' ''[grows again]'' '''''...IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY!''''' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee, pay attention. You are only to apply one drop of this stuff. Do you understand? One drop, not 2 drops, not 3 drops, not 75 drops. JUST ONE DROP! GOT IT?! :'''Dee Dee''': Yeah. Of course I got it, Dexter. Just one drop. ''[sings and leaves the lab]'' One drop, one drop, one drop, one drop... <hr width="50%"> :''[Dee Dee screams while running entering the lab]'' :'''Dexter''': Let me guess. You used more than one drop. :'''Dee Dee''': It was too one drop, Dexter! Just a really, really ''big'' one drop! :'''Dexter''': Hmm... === Comic Stripper === :'''Dexter''': You did it all wrong, Mandark. I figured out you were copying "Mister Misery" all along, so I played your own game against you. ''[Mandark pretends to be yawning]'' And then you have the nerve ''[throws the "Mister Misery" comic]'' not to even follow the dumb story! Oh, and one other thing... WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS STUPID QUACKING?! :'''Mandark''': Well, you see, Dexter. I went to buy "Mister Misery" but the store was all sold out. So I picked up a copy of "Dangerous Duck" instead. :'''Dexter''': And do you know why "Mister Misery" was all sold out? Because ''I'' bought them all. :'''Mandark''': Hmm. Well, then. If you bought them all, ''how did you expect me to know all "Mister Misery"'s new fight moves then?!'' ''[Dexter is upset and a donkey appears]'' QUACK. ''[teases Dexter and walks away]'' === Chicken Scratch === :'''Dexter''': (Screams in shock) What are the strange protrusions? I must investigate immediately. ''[ Dee Dee arrives while singing]'' Uh-oh. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': OK, Dee Dee, way too much has happened this morning so, please, GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!!! ''[closes the door]'' I have no time for her foolishness today. :'''Dee Dee''': ''[opens the door]'' But, Dexter, I'm not in your labor... [She stops and looks at Dexter] YOU'VE GOT CHICKENPOX! :'''Dexter''': Chickenpox? What is this pox of the chicken? :'''Dee Dee''': Poor Dexter, so knowledgeable in science but doesn't have enough common sense to know what chickenpox is. Well, a long time ago, a group of evil, contaminated chickens escaped from jail, and started to break into children's houses where they picked away, giving huge, itchy pimples. And if you stratch them, you turn into an evil, contaminated chicken! :'''Dexter''': Are you crazy, woman? I've teach you les--! ''[scratches]'' :'''Dee Dee''': Bagock. :'''Dexter''': (Screams in fear) I do not want to be an evil, contaminated chicken. :'''Dee Dee ''': Then, DON'T SCRATCH! ''[leaves Dexter's room]'' :'''Dexter''': That seems simple enough. ''[scratches and stops]'' I'd better keep myself busy so as not to think about the itching. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Perfect. ''[thinking while scratching]'' Now, how much dioxide detrolium should I add? Hmm... what is the correct amount? ''[stops thinking and scratching and laughs]'' Silly me! ''[scratches again]'' Avoiding scratching this whole time? ''[freaks out]'' ROBOT! More drastic measures must be taken. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': Robot, if you see me scratching a part of my body, I want you to zap me with 100 watts of electrons. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter]'' :'''Dexter''': I wasn't ready, Robot. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter again]'' :'''Dexter''': I said I wasn't ready. :'''Robot''': Yes, boy. :'''Dexter''': No, Robot, wait! ''[Robot zaps him again]'' This is not working. ''[Robot zaps him again]'' STOP, ROBOT! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': A new invention must be created. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[after creating his invention]'' Success! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[destroys the straps after failing to hold back the itching]'' GOTTA SCRATCH!!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dee Dee''': Hello! [She stops and looks at Dexter] [Dee Dee screamed and ducks under her bed] [She peeks out] Dexter, is that you? :'''Dexter''': ''[turns to Dexter who is now turned into a chicken]'' Yep, I scratched. == Lost Episode == === Rude Removal === :'''Dee Dee''': Oooh!

Do you know how long it took me to count those pennies? :'''Dexter''': Emm... at an average human rate, I'd estimate about 5 hours and 33 minutes? :'''Ice Cream Man''': Precisely. And when the counting was done, it is time to put pennies in safe. Then I'm noticing my shoelaces untied. Now, I couldn't very well stop to tie my shoes since somebody had given me a heavy jar of pennies to hold, and the ice cream man rules say to keep any amount of money OVER a dollar in the safe. So, I trip, and I break my tooth. The pain, it is so bad.

I discovered that by salvaging useful components and destroying obsolete ones, I was able to create this tower capable of performing functions thousands of times greater than its predecessor, rendering a former laboratory and its creator ''obsolete''. And all obsolete materials must be destroyed. :'''Dexter''': ''[chuckles]'' Well, then. It sounds like you had a busy night. I'll just unplug it for a little while and you can get some rest.

''[grows again]'' '''''...IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY!''''' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee, pay attention. You are only to apply one drop of this stuff. Do you understand?

You used more than one drop. :'''Dee Dee''': It was too one drop, Dexter! Just a really, really ''big'' one drop! :'''Dexter''': Hmm... === Comic Stripper === :'''Dexter''': You did it all wrong, Mandark. I figured out you were copying "Mister Misery" all along, so I played your own game against you. ''[Mandark pretends to be yawning]'' And then you have the nerve ''[throws the "Mister Misery" comic]'' not to even follow the dumb story! Oh, and one other thing... WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS STUPID QUACKING?! :'''Mandark''': Well, you see, Dexter. I went to buy "Mister Misery" but the store was all sold out. So I picked up a copy of "Dangerous Duck" instead. :'''Dexter''': And do you know why "Mister Misery" was all sold out? Because ''I'' bought them all. :'''Mandark''': Hmm. Well, then. If you bought them all, ''how did you expect me to know all "Mister Misery"'s new fight moves then?!'' ''[Dexter is upset and a donkey appears]'' QUACK.

[She stops and looks at Dexter] YOU'VE GOT CHICKENPOX! :'''Dexter''': Chickenpox? What is this pox of the chicken? :'''Dee Dee''': Poor Dexter, so knowledgeable in science but doesn't have enough common sense to know what chickenpox is. Well, a long time ago, a group of evil, contaminated chickens escaped from jail, and started to break into children's houses where they picked away, giving huge, itchy pimples. And if you stratch them, you turn into an evil, contaminated chicken! :'''Dexter''': Are you crazy, woman? I've teach you les--! ''[scratches]'' :'''Dee Dee''': Bagock. :'''Dexter''': (Screams in fear) I do not want to be an evil, contaminated chicken. :'''Dee Dee ''': Then, DON'T SCRATCH! ''[leaves Dexter's room]'' :'''Dexter''': That seems simple enough. ''[scratches and stops]'' I'd better keep myself busy so as not to think about the itching. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Perfect. ''[thinking while scratching]'' Now, how much dioxide detrolium should I add? Hmm... what is the correct amount? ''[stops thinking and scratching and laughs]'' Silly me! ''[scratches again]'' Avoiding scratching this whole time? ''[freaks out]'' ROBOT! More drastic measures must be taken. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': Robot, if you see me scratching a part of my body, I want you to zap me with 100 watts of electrons. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter]'' :'''Dexter''': I wasn't ready, Robot. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter again]'' :'''Dexter''': I said I wasn't ready. :'''Robot''': Yes, boy. :'''Dexter''': No, Robot, wait! ''[Robot zaps him again]'' This is not working. ''[Robot zaps him again]'' STOP, ROBOT! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': A new invention must be created. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[after creating his invention]'' Success! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[destroys the straps after failing to hold back the itching]'' GOTTA SCRATCH!!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dee Dee''': Hello!

Do you know how long it took me to count those pennies? :'''Dexter''': Emm... at an average human rate, I'd estimate about 5 hours and 33 minutes? :'''Ice Cream Man''': Precisely. And when the counting was done, it is time to put pennies in safe. Then I'm noticing my shoelaces untied. Now, I couldn't very well stop to tie my shoes since somebody had given me a heavy jar of pennies to hold, and the ice cream man rules say to keep any amount of money OVER a dollar in the safe. So, I trip, and I break my tooth. The pain, it is so bad. My girlfriend left me, I lose apartment, I lose car, I'm forced to live on the freeway with wild animals, I CAN'T EVEN EAT ICE CREAM BECAUSE OF THE PAIN! '''ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PENNIES!!'''

While you slumbered, I began an analysis of your primitive laboratory finding it to be highly inefficient. I discovered that by salvaging useful components and destroying obsolete ones, I was able to create this tower capable of performing functions thousands of times greater than its predecessor, rendering a former laboratory and its creator ''obsolete''. And all obsolete materials must be destroyed. :'''Dexter''': ''[chuckles]'' Well, then. It sounds like you had a busy night. I'll just unplug it for a little while and you can get some rest.

Dexter is obsolete. :'''Dee Dee''': You sound like Dexter too, Dexter. :'''Ultrabot 2000''': Dexter is obsolete and must be destroyed. I am Omnibot, the most efficient life form in the universe. :'''Dee Dee''': Boy, you sure act like Dexter.

Dexter must be destroyed. :'''Dee Dee''': Whatever you say, Dexter. OK, see you later, Dexter. ''[leaves]'' :'''Ultrabot 2000''': No. Wait. Don't listen to her.

But I just can't understand how you manage to stain your little outfit so quickly. :'''Dexter''': Yeah, yeah, mom. It's a real enigma. [grabs his lab coat] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have much work to be doing. [takes his lab coat and gloves with him and closes the door] :'''Dad''': The boy's right, dear. [puts his hands on his wife's hips] There is much work to be doing. <hr width="50%"> (Dexter streaks through the meadow) :'''Dexter''': Oh boy, that was a close one. I just have to get to Ruthy's Field, and I will be home free! Home... (Dexter streaks past a hippie couple sitting on a rock who smile as they watch him pass by, thinking he's celebrating the freedom of his nakedness) :'''Dexter''': '''FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!''' :'''Male Hippie''': Right on, brother! === Mind Over Chatter === :'''Dexter''': ''[in his mind]'' Yuck! Mom's oatmeal! Tastes like barf! :'''Mom''' ''[gasps]'' Dexter! Don't be rude! :'''Dexter''': ''[confused]'' Huh? :'''Dexter''': ''[in his mind while watching Dee Dee scarfing down her oatmeal]'' That sister of mine! What a ferocious pig! :'''Dee Dee''': Hey! I'm no pig! :'''Mom''' : That is enough Dexter! Time for school. :'''Dexter''': But wait Dad, what- :'''Dad''': The answer is no! Now get! :'''Dexter''': ''[in his mind]'' Dad, what a stubborn poopoo doody head! :'''Dad''': I heard that! :'''Mom''': And we are going to have a serious talk about your potty mouth when you get home from school today! === Momdark === :'''Mom''': Huh, what did he mean when he said, "your lab", Dexter? :'''Dexter''': I don't know. === A Mom Cartoon === :'''Mom''': Oh Dad will just love this! <hr width="50%"> :'''Shop Announcer''': Attention shoppers, we have a red light sale on aisle 8 on... latex gloves! <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': Would you look at that, the very last pair! Must be my lucky day! <hr width="50%"> :'''Shop Announcer''': Attention shoppers,... === A Third Dad Cartoon === :'''Dad''': Aw well, I guess we'll have to try again next week. ==Season 4== === Beau Tie === :'''Beau''': I've always loved science. === Dexter's Library === :'''Dexter''': Ah, the sweet and silent solitude of the school library. :'''Boy''': Oh yeah, we're so prepared for this. This is going to be a great game, we're going to kicky Booty. :'''Girl''': Our new cheers are so awesome. Wait until you see them, you're not gonna believe it! :'''Dexter''': Ahem! ''[puts the piece of paper that says "No talking in the Library!!!" in the book on the table]'' ''[takes the book from the boy]'' No book for you, ''[takes the other book from the girl]'' and no book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[stops the boy trying to eat an apple]'' No, uh-uh. You know the rules. No food or drink in the library. ''[takes the book from him]'' No book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[takes the book that is stepped on by a girl trying to reach the other book, she falls down]'' Mis-using school property, you know better than that. No book for you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Ah, here we are. 701.328. ''[gasps]'' Hello! What is this?! "Green Bacon and Eggs"! What is a children's book doing in coelacanth paleobiology? ''[gets enraged]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Miss Salinger, Miss Salinger. :'''Salinger''': Yes, what is it, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': I have found an inappropriately placed piece of fiction. :'''Salinger''': Really? Well, be a dear and place it in its proper home. :'''Dexter''': ''[drops the book]'' Ahh. Library patrons speaking at unacceptable volumes, eating snacks, abusing school property, and now ''this''. Ahh, it is all very disappointing. ''[breaks the fourth wall]'' You know, I like Miss Salinger and all, but if this were my library, such behavior within these hallowed shelves would not be tolerated. :'''Salinger''': Oh, my, look at the time. Dexter, I have to be at a staff meeting. I need you to keep an eye on things for one hour. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Finally, a school library dedicated to the pure appreciation of the English language. Dexter, you have done it again. Next! ''[a girl arrives with a book in her hand]'' Sarah Goldfarm. Another early return, I see. ''[Sarah gives the book to him]'' Ha ha ha! "Stranger Rick": August 2001. A solid subject matter, ''[drops the book]'' but a little sophomoric for second grade. Would you not agree? ''[Robot burns the book]'' Robot, please retrieve some less frivolous reading for Miss Goldfarm? Perhaps something from coealacanth paleobiology, a personal favorite subject of mine. :'''Robot''': ''[goes in search of a book in a library cabinet and returns to Dexter]'' Cannot confirm target. :'''Dexter''': "Cannot confirm target"? You illiterate Android! ''[slaps the robot]'' Must I spell everything out for you recycled soup cans? ''[writes the piece of paper and puts it on the Robot's head]'' Well! ''[The Robot goes in search of a book again]'' ''[whistles]'' Heh heh heh! :'''Robot''': ''[returns to Dexter]'' System error. Cannot confirm target. :'''Dexter''': ''[gets angry]'' Arrrr! ''[punches the Robot's head]'' WHY MUST I DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[grumbles as he climbs the stairs in the librarian cabinet]'' ...stupid-looking robots. There. "Coealacanth Paleonbiology". Now, how difficult was that? ''[opens his eyes and is surprised]'' "GREEN BACON AND EGGS"?!!! BUT I DO NOT LIKE "GREEN BACON AND EGGS"!!! There is not a walnut brained ape among you who is worthy to share my world-class collection of written history! <hr width="50%"> :'''Salinger''': Dexter, I am very disappointed in you. I leave you in charge of the library for one hour, and look what you do. Just look at this mess. :'''Dexter''': But-- but-- I... they... :'''Salinger''': I'm giving you the maximum library penalty. :'''Dexter''': ''[gasps]'' No! Not that! Please, Miss Salinger. No! :'''Salinger''': That's right. You can only check out 4 books a week, instead of 5. :'''Dexter''': ''[sobs]'' It's not very nice of you. NOOOOOOOOO! :'''Crowd''': Shhh! === 2Geniuses 2Gether 4Ever === :'''Dexter''': Ah, all done. :'''Mandark''': It's about time. Well, let's see what we've got. ''[takes off the blindfold]'' Ah! At last, my darkest creation is completed! :'''Dexter''': ''[gives the remote control to Mandark]'' After you. :'''Mandark''': May I? ''[grabs the remote control]'' With a push of this button, I, Mandark, will unleash a mind-bending transmission which will put the entire universe under my control. And that means you, too, Dorkster. I have double-crossed you once again. And now it will all be mine! ''[laughs]'' Ha! :''[Mandark tries pressing the button over and over, and Dexter plugs the power cord into an electrical outlet, and the invention explodes by displaying the title of the television series as a reference to the intro]'' :'''Dexter''': Ha! Well, well, well, Mandark, who double-crossed whom? :'''Mandark''': This was supposed to be mine, Dexter! All mine, not yours! Mine! :'''Dexter''': Well, like I always say: if you can't play with the big dogs, stay on the porch. Ha ha! ''[The "The End" logo in white appears on the screen]'' Hey! What is going on? I am trying to wax poetic here. === Folly Calls === :'''Dexter''': ''[sees Dee Dee's hair cut off and laughs insanely]'' OH, YOU'RE KILLING ME! ''[laughing and snorting]'' :'''Dee Dee''': So? :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee. We have been through this scenario so many times before, and you know that I am helpless to assist you for one simple and very basic reason: you are STUPID! :'''Dee Dee''': Oh, please, Dexter. Please! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please! Oh, please, Dexter! Use your vast and unlimited knowledge of science to help me get my hair back! ''Pretty please.'' :'''Dexter''': Well, no. :'''Dee Dee''': Alright, Dexter, but remember... ''[grows bigger]'' ''I am your big sister!'' ''[grows some more]'' ''AND I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE A BUG...'' ''[grows again]'' '''''...IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY!''''' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Now, Dee Dee, pay attention. You are only to apply one drop of this stuff. Do you understand? One drop, not 2 drops, not 3 drops, not 75 drops. JUST ONE DROP! GOT IT?! :'''Dee Dee''': Yeah. Of course I got it, Dexter. Just one drop. ''[sings and leaves the lab]'' One drop, one drop, one drop, one drop... <hr width="50%"> :''[Dee Dee screams while running entering the lab]'' :'''Dexter''': Let me guess. You used more than one drop. :'''Dee Dee''': It was too one drop, Dexter! Just a really, really ''big'' one drop! :'''Dexter''': Hmm... === Comic Stripper === :'''Dexter''': You did it all wrong, Mandark. I figured out you were copying "Mister Misery" all along, so I played your own game against you. ''[Mandark pretends to be yawning]'' And then you have the nerve ''[throws the "Mister Misery" comic]'' not to even follow the dumb story! Oh, and one other thing... WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS STUPID QUACKING?! :'''Mandark''': Well, you see, Dexter. I went to buy "Mister Misery" but the store was all sold out. So I picked up a copy of "Dangerous Duck" instead. :'''Dexter''': And do you know why "Mister Misery" was all sold out? Because ''I'' bought them all. :'''Mandark''': Hmm. Well, then. If you bought them all, ''how did you expect me to know all "Mister Misery"'s new fight moves then?!'' ''[Dexter is upset and a donkey appears]'' QUACK. ''[teases Dexter and walks away]'' === Chicken Scratch === :'''Dexter''': (Screams in shock) What are the strange protrusions? I must investigate immediately. ''[ Dee Dee arrives while singing]'' Uh-oh. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': OK, Dee Dee, way too much has happened this morning so, please, GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!!! ''[closes the door]'' I have no time for her foolishness today. :'''Dee Dee''': ''[opens the door]'' But, Dexter, I'm not in your labor... [She stops and looks at Dexter] YOU'VE GOT CHICKENPOX! :'''Dexter''': Chickenpox? What is this pox of the chicken? :'''Dee Dee''': Poor Dexter, so knowledgeable in science but doesn't have enough common sense to know what chickenpox is. Well, a long time ago, a group of evil, contaminated chickens escaped from jail, and started to break into children's houses where they picked away, giving huge, itchy pimples. And if you stratch them, you turn into an evil, contaminated chicken! :'''Dexter''': Are you crazy, woman? I've teach you les--! ''[scratches]'' :'''Dee Dee''': Bagock. :'''Dexter''': (Screams in fear) I do not want to be an evil, contaminated chicken. :'''Dee Dee ''': Then, DON'T SCRATCH! ''[leaves Dexter's room]'' :'''Dexter''': That seems simple enough. ''[scratches and stops]'' I'd better keep myself busy so as not to think about the itching. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': Perfect. ''[thinking while scratching]'' Now, how much dioxide detrolium should I add? Hmm... what is the correct amount? ''[stops thinking and scratching and laughs]'' Silly me! ''[scratches again]'' Avoiding scratching this whole time? ''[freaks out]'' ROBOT! More drastic measures must be taken. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter? :'''Dexter''': Robot, if you see me scratching a part of my body, I want you to zap me with 100 watts of electrons. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter]'' :'''Dexter''': I wasn't ready, Robot. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. ''[zaps Dexter again]'' :'''Dexter''': I said I wasn't ready. :'''Robot''': Yes, Dexter. :'''Dexter''': No, Robot, wait! ''[Robot zaps him again]'' This is not working. ''[Robot zaps him again]'' STOP, ROBOT! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': A new invention must be created. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[after creating his invention]'' Success! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dexter''': ''[destroys the straps after failing to hold back the itching]'' GOTTA SCRATCH!!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Dee Dee''': Hello! [She stops and looks at Dexter] [Dee Dee screamed and ducks under her bed] [She peeks out] Dexter, is that you? :'''Dexter''': ''[turns to Dexter who is now turned into a chicken]'' Yep, I scratched. == Lost Episode == === Rude Removal === :'''Dee Dee''': Oooh! Dexter's got gas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rude Dexter''': Where the f'ck are we? :'''Rude Dee Dee''': Beats the cr'p out of me! :'''Dexter''': (With a British accent) Why, you're in Dexter's Laboratory, silly. I'm Dexter, and this golden-haired angel behind me is my charming sister, Dee Dee. :'''Dee Dee''': (With a British accent) Charmed! :'''Rude Dexter''': Ah, f'ck off! :'''Dexter and Dee Dee''': ''[gasp]'' Oh dear! <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': I hope you're hungry, 'cause I made a ''[trips over Rude Dexter]'' very... SPECIAL LUNCH THAT I GOT FROM A RECIPE THAT I... FOUND IN A BESSIE CRACKER MAGAZINE!

''[spits at Mom]'' :'''Mom''': ''[faints]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': ''[angry]'' Dexter! No, absolutely not! You cannot have any dessert! :'''Rude Dexter''': Why? You want it all to yourself? :'''Mom''': ''[gasps, then faints]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Mom''': Now to clean those filthy mouths. :'''Dexter''': ''[to the audience]'' Oh, sh't! ==External links== {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0115157|title=Dexter's Laboratory}} [[Category:1990s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2000s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:Elementary school TV shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:TV shows revived after cancellation]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Teletoon Retro shows]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about children]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about families]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about siblings]] [[Category:Television series by Hanna-Barbera]] pz0as15ed0x9ce6fitfdi6qsjtqhj40 The Thick of It 0 110361 3147993 3145432 2022-07-27T03:46:48Z Mr. Brain 3009526 /* Series 2, Episode 3 */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:The Thick of It|The Thick of It]]''''' is a British sitcom, satirising the inner workings of modern government, that finished its fourth (and final) series in October 2012. It stars [[wikipedia:Peter Capaldi|Peter Capaldi]] as spin doctor [[wikipedia:Malcolm Tucker|Malcolm Tucker]]. See also ''[[In The Loop]]'', a spin-off feature film. ==Series 1, Episode 1== :''(Malcolm Tucker's first line.)'' :'''Malcolm Tucker:''' ''(on his phone, in Cliff Lawton's office)'' No, he's useless. He's absolutely useless. He is, he's useless, he's as useless as a marzipan dildo. All right. Got to go. Minister's just walked in. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm Tucker has just told Cliff Lawton, the head of the Department of Social Affairs, that he has to resign as Minister.)'' :'''Cliff Lawton:''' Malcolm, look, um – if you do this, it's the bollocks of the jungle out there, you know? They're like wolves. Pissed wolves. :'''Malcolm Tucker:''' I've made the announcement: I've told [[wikipedia:The_Lobby|the Lobby]] you're going, Cliff. :'''Cliff:''' You've told the Lobby I'm going? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. Sorry, Cliff. :'''Cliff:''' Minister. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, get used to Cliff. I've booked you in for the usual soapy tit-wank farewell at Number 10, in 20 minutes. Also drafted you a letter of resignation: gives you the chance to say that you're jumping before you're pushed, although obviously we're gonna be briefing that you ''were'' pushed, sorry. :'''Cliff:''' Um...Look, tell you what. You don't need to do all of this. What about Tom? Everybody knows he's fucking up Transport. :'''Malcolm:''' We can't sack Tom at Transport. We can't lose anyone at Transport, they're important. :'''Cliff:''' What? And Social Affairs isn't? :'''Malcolm:''' OK, the Department of Social for Commercial Affairs is very important, but it's not Transport. Transport's cars, buses, trucks. :'''Cliff:''' I KNOW WHAT TRANSPORT FUCKING ENTAILS! :''(Malcolm gives Cliff his infamous "bollocking stare.")'' :'''Cliff:''' Look, look...Look. I'll look at it. :''(Cliff looks at the resignation note.)'' :'''Cliff:''' Personal reasons. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. I thought that would give you adequate scope. :'''Cliff:''' Scope. What, like, um...shooting up in the Cabinet Office or something? Stuffing a cat up my arse and having a wank? What do you mean, scope? :'''Malcolm:''' You know, this could be a great deal worse. You have had a good innings. You have been here for 18 months. And you know, I have written some very nice things about you in the PM's reply to your resignation. Some very nice fucking things indeed. I had a lump in my throat. And you know why? Because no one who matters thinks any less of you over this...so far. OK? Right. One more thing: ''[[wikipedia:The Daily Mail|The Daily Mail]]''. David Topham has got it into his head that we are going to sack you because of press pressure. :'''Cliff:''' I wonder why. :'''Malcolm:''' Look. You're in no position to dish out fucking sarcasm. That's over. You no longer have purchase in the sarcasm world. Get on the phone. Tell him you're jumping before you're pushed -- although we were going to push you, but not because of press pressure, but because of your deeply held fucking personal issues, whatever they were. :'''Cliff:''' You want me to write my own obituary! :'''Malcolm:''' Get on the fucking phone. Do it now. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh Abbot, the new head of the Department of Social Affairs, is calling a big meeting to announce his first major policy.

I've got something very important to say. I've got -- Ollie, I've got something for us. I've got us a very, very tasty little morsel. Because this morning I had a chat with my very good friend, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. (Glenn, Ollie, and Terri are very interested.) Yes. And, um, remember the, um, um -- Ollie, your Benefit Unit Fraud... :'''Ollie Reeder:''' Anti-Benefit Fraud Executive. ABFE. :'''Hugh:''' ABFE. Um, Scrounger Squad. :'''Ollie:''' Snooper Squad. :'''Hugh:''' ''(correcting himself)'' Snooper Squad. :'''Terri Coverley:''' The one with the spending implications? :'''Hugh:''' Yes, and the Prime Minister's view, it turns out, is very much, "Fuck the spending implications, I like it." :'''Glenn Cullen:''' Good. :'''Hugh:''' So this is us. We're on the map. It's a chance for me, Glenn, to get on Richard & Judy and plant that flag right on their fucking sofa. :'''Terri:''' So the, um, the Prime Minister's authorized you -- he ''has'' authorized you to announce it, has he? :'''Hugh:''' That's very much what he signaled, yes, very clearly. He said that he's very much right behind us on this and it's very much what we should be doing. :'''Ollie:''' This is great. So we can do it this afternoon at the school, can't we? We can, uh, we can clear the press conference that we've got... :'''Terri:''' ''(getting up to leave)'' Excuse me. :'''Glenn:''' Yeah. We'll "double-bubble" it, yeah? We'll leak it to the Standard for the early editions and then trail it on the World at One. Yes? Right. I'll tell you, we, we need someone at the Standard we can give this to. What about Angela Heaney? She's at the Standard now, isn't she? Hugh? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Glenn:''' Ollie? :'''Ollie:''' Um...yes, she is. Do you not think that maybe she's a bit junior, I think. :'''Glenn:''' Bit too much like your ex who broke your heart and then dumped you with a text message? :'''Ollie:''' It was a fucking e-mail. It wasn't a text message. :'''Glenn:''' We give it to her, she'll write what we want. :'''Hugh:''' She's easy. :'''Glenn:''' She is easy. :''(Terri returns to the office, trying to tell the guys to control their excitement over the Snooper Squad policy.)'' :'''Terri:''' Uh, one moment. I can see that you've all got very big, stiff hard-ons for this one -- :'''Hugh:''' Sorry? :'''Terri:''' That's -- that is nice. I'm not saying that's not nice. But... :'''Hugh:''' ''(surprised)'' Terri! :'''Terri:''' But there is absolutely no way we're gonna clear it by this afternoon. So... :'''Ollie:''' Why not? :'''Terri:''' Do cool it, just for a minute, and I'll ring Paul at the Treasury. :'''Hugh, Glenn, and Ollie:''' NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! :'''Hugh:''' No phone calls to the Treasury, thank you. :'''Ollie:''' If you call the Treasury to get anywhere near the announcement, he's gonna have to dress up as catering with a big tray of drinks and a pot of sliced lemons. :'''Hugh:''' I'm not doing that. :'''Terri:''' I'm just going by procedure. :'''Hugh:''' Terri, I love doing things the right way, that ethical stuff. I, I-I love it, I mean, we all, we all do. But -- but, you know, it's very difficult when you're the first person to put your gun down, because people tend to jump on your head as if it was a ripe watermelon. We don't want that, do we? :'''Ollie:''' The Prime Minister said he wants to do it. The Prime Minister is above the Treasury in the hierarchy. I can write it down on a chart if it actually helps. :'''Terri:''' Whatever. :'''Glenn:''' Thank you. :'''Terri:''' Very good, Minister. I'll get to it. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Terri)'' You're just doing your job. ''(After Terri leaves, Hugh whispers to Glenn & Ollie)'' Not very well. :'''Glenn:''' ''(on his cell phone)'' Will you get Angela on the phone for Ollie? ''(to Ollie)'' You can deal with this, Ollie, yes? Thank you. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' The driver. :'''Ollie:''' ''(answering Glenn's question, despondently)'' Technically. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' Will it be my usual driver? :'''Glenn:''' Yes, Hugh. :'''Hugh:''' I don't fucking like him. :'''Glenn:''' Why not? :'''Hugh:''' He's...I don't know. I think he despises me. :'''Glenn:''' We'll have to use him today, because you know how the pool system works. So we go down to the school...um...have to. :'''Hugh:''' He's sort of contemptuous. :'''Glenn:''' The driver? :'''Hugh:''' I feel like he looks down on me. :'''Glenn:''' No, Hugh, he likes you, I'm sure. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh and Glenn are in the car listening to ''[[wikipedia:The World at One|The World at One]]''.

We have got 17 different issues we are fighting with the Treasury about. :'''Hugh:''' I can hear that you are, as usual, upset. :'''Malcolm:''' I'll tell you why I'm upset. I'm upset because these fucking morons over at [[wikipedia:HM_Treasury|the Treasury]], these people, they are so paranoid. If you don't tell them about stuff like this, if you don't even cc them an email, they think you've started a palace coup! :'''Hugh:''' Mal– Malcolm – :'''Malcolm:''' You don't seem to understand that I'm gonna have to mop up a fucking hurricane of piss here from all of these neurotics! What did the Prime Minister ''actually'' say to you? :'''Hugh:''' He actually said, 'This is exactly the kind of thing we should be doing.' :'''Malcolm:''' ''What did he actually say?'' :'''Hugh:''' He said, 'This is exactly the sort of thing we should be doing.' :'''Malcolm:''' 'Should' be doing. 'Should' does not mean 'yes'. Now, there's only one thing to do here, and it's what I'm going to tell you to do. Kill it. :'''Hugh:''' I can't -- I can't kill it! I'm on my way to make the announcement! There's gonna be television cameras there and everything! :'''Malcolm:''' Well, fuck the television cameras! Think of something else to say! But just don't mention the bloody [[wikipedia:The_New_Avengers|New Avengers]] or the Snooper Force, or whatever the fuck you call it. :'''Hugh:''' Scam Busters? :'''Malcolm:''' Get rid of it.

You've got a bigger story here than you have chasing your tinsel. :'''Hugh:''' Which is you live in a country which is properly...There's not many countries can say that. :'''Glenn:''' And we've probably got 10,000,000 we can throw at it. :'''Hugh:''' That's good, because it sounds like a lot, doesn't it. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh, Glenn and Ollie are at the school, preparing for Hugh's big speech.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I've got a thing here that says "springy concrete."

''(asking Glenn and Ollie)'' Real families or real people? :'''Glenn:''' Families. :'''Ollie:''' People. Real people. :'''Glenn:''' You see? Don't...Families. :'''Ollie:''' Families sounds exclusive. It sounds kinda back to basics, it sounds [[wikipedia:John Major|John Major]]. :'''Glenn:''' People sounds Communist. :'''Ollie:''' It doesn't sound Communist. :'''Hugh:''' I'll say families. :'''Glenn:''' Thank you, Hugh. :'''Ollie:''' Say families of people. :''(A schools-woman approaches the room.)'' :'''Schools-woman:''' Mr. Abbot. :'''Glenn:''' Great.

Bollocks, we'll get rid of that. :'''Glenn:''' Aw, for fuck's sake, yeah. Fiddling while Rome burns. :'''Hugh:''' Fucking right. We'll kick some arse. We'll kick some butt! Kick some butt! :'''Glenn:''' That's what we're in it for, mate, tell them all the shit that we do. :''(Glenn sees Malcolm standing behind Hugh, but Hugh is blissfully unaware.)'' :'''Hugh:''' It's a means to an end, mate. :''(Hugh then sees Malcolm right behind him.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Fuck me, Malcolm.

It-it's killed. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but once you start the fire...And we didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning, et cetera, et cetera. :'''Hugh:''' Sorry, Malcolm, you're not making any sense. :'''Malcolm:''' Prime Minister, obviously, he's on the plane in Stockholm, and somebody hits him with ''The World At One.'' He thinks it's the Treasury trying to stiff him one, so he, um... he stuck with the story. :'''Hugh:''' He liked it? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, he's backing the Snooper Force. :'''Hugh:''' ''(smiling)'' Oh, right. We shouldn't really then have, I mean, you shouldn't really have told us to, uh...Should you? ''(chuckles)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Don't should me, Hugh. Cos I'll should you right back. I'll should you right through that window. None of this SHOULD be happening, should it? SHOULD it? Should it? :'''Hugh:''' Is that should in the...sense of yes, or...? :'''Malcolm:''' It's should in the sense of "You should do as you're fucking told." :'''Hugh:''' What are we gonna do now? :'''Malcolm:''' You're gonna completely reverse your position. :'''Hugh:''' Hang on a second. Malcolm, it's not actually that, um – I mean, that's gonna be quite hard, really. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, well the announcement that you didn't make today, you did. :'''Hugh:''' No, no, I didn't, ''and'' there were television cameras there while I was not doing it. :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck them! :'''Hugh:''' I'm not quite sure h– what level of reality I'm supposed to be operating on. :'''Malcolm:''' Look, this is what they run with. I tell them that you said it, they believe that you said it. They don't really believe you said it, they know that you never said it. :'''Hugh:''' Right. :'''Malcolm:''' But it's in their interests to say that you said it. Because if they don't say that you said it, they're not gonna get what you say tomorrow or the next day, when I decide to tell them what it is you're saying. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I-I am following this. I just... :'''Malcolm:''' I had a friend who used to indulge in extramarital affairs, OK? He would go off and he'd have some dalliance, and every Monday he'd come back and he'd meet his wife. And he told me that all he did was inside his head turn a little switch. The affair never happened. OK? :'''Hugh:''' Right. :'''Malcolm:''' There's not a prob -- I don't -- What is the problem with this? :'''Hugh:''' The problem with it...First of all, I didn't get much dalliance. :'''Malcolm:''' Get it into your head. Rewind today into your head. :'''Hugh:''' OK, stop explaining it to me! :'''Malcolm:''' I have to fucking explain it to you, man. You haven't been here long enough. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Ollie is in an office arguing with his ex-girlfriend, Angela Heaney...who's also a news journalist.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I'm really glad you came in, Angela. :'''Angela Heaney:''' Well, I could lose my job, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah... :'''Angela:''' Because I went all hot and heavy to the news desk with three directly contradictory stories in one day. :'''Ollie:''' I know, :'''Angela:''' They gave me flip-flops. You know? Someone actually went out and bought me flip-flops to give me. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. You've gotta give them credit for that, that is quite funny. :'''Angela:''' Yeah. And they pasted onto them...a fucking porn picture of a girl sucking a big cock and they wrote, "Angela Heaney swallows anything." :'''Ollie:''' That is less funny. Obviously, that's actually quite offensive. :'''Angela:''' Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't do a big story on the, you know, the day of spin? :'''Ollie:''' Wh-Why? What sort of story? ''(Ollie starts stammering and struggling to defend himself...)'' :'''Angela:''' Inside story of a government department out of control. With diagrams and maybe a flow chart with your face and name on it. And Glenn's and Hugh's and big arrows showing who spoke to who and how you all fucked it up. Yeah, I think I could write that one up myself, Ollie. I think I could do the punctuation on ''that'' one. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, I'm sorry. :''(Suddenly, Malcolm comes into the office.)'' :'''Malcolm''': Hey. Hi, Angela. Oh, I like the hair, nice little corkscrews. How's it going? :'''Ollie''': Yeah, er, fine. Um, we were just, er, talking about why Angela shouldn't do a big story on the big insidery piece, kinda day of spin, sort of spread in the paper... :'''Malcolm''': Oh, I don't know. Maybe you should! Good idea! :''(Malcolm leaves -- then comes back.)'' :'''Malcolm''': Oh, wait a minute. I know why she shouldn't. Because, you know, if she did that, she'd be dead. To me, to this department, to the government. And she'll never get another story, or even a fucking whiff of a story as long as she kept her sorry, hack bitch face lingering around Westminster, because I would call every editor I know - which, obviously, that's all of them - and I'd tell them to gouge her name out of their address books so she'd never even get a job on hospital radio ''where the sad sack belongs.'' That's what I'd tell her. ''(to Ollie)'' But maybe you should do it. See you later. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. ''(to Angela)'' He's actually...He can be really nice. It's been a very long day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' I want a new driver. Get me a new driver. I don't want to see this guy ever again. :'''Glenn:''' On what grounds? :'''Hugh:''' Smiling.

Can't we devolve some of it? If I could get just one decent night's shut-eye... :'''Glenn:''' Well, Hugh, do yourself a favor. Stay over in the flat. :'''Hugh:''' I can't break my promise to Kate. :'''Glenn:''' I mean, do you actually get to see the children? :'''Hugh:''' Glenn, I don't have time for that. All I do... I work, I eat, I shower. That's it. Occasionally... I take a dump, just as a sort of treat. I mean, that really is my treat. That's what it's come to. I sit there and I think, "No, I'm not going to read the [[wikipedia:New_Statesman|''New Statesman'']]. This time is just for me. This is quality time just for me."

That's not very good, is it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' So, how do we respond to this? :'''Terri:''' Right, we don't exchange insults with bloody Simon arsepipes titty-twat. :'''Ollie:''' Is that honestly the best swearing that you can come up with? :'''Glenn:''' This is a bucket of shit: if someone throws shit at us, we throw shit back at them, we start a shit fight. We throw so much shit back at them that they can't pick up shit, they can't throw shit, they can't do shit. :'''Terri:''' Mm. :'''Hugh:''' That's top swearing, Glenn, well done. :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Terri)'' Watch and learn. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' ''(thinking of policy ideas)'' Shut up for a minute, please.

He and Hewitt are as tight as arse cheeks. :'''Hugh:''' Are they now? :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck knows, but that's what we're saying, OK?

It's useless to ask people's opinions before we formulate a policy? It's useless?! :'''Glenn''': Look, there's no point in asking people what they think.

I'm Malcolm. We've spoken on the phone. :'''Mark Davies:''' Yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Do you mind if I pop in? It's just -- I was in seeing Pam. and everyone started talking about the Hugh thing. :'''Mark:''' Yes... :''(Mark nods his head in agreement with Malcolm as they look at the footage.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Do you see what I have to work with? :'''Mark:''' I know, Malcolm. He doesn't look great, does he? :''(As they continue looking at the footage, Malcolm starts to attempt to play director.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Mark's assistant)'' That shot, are you going to use that? :'''Mark:''' Malcolm. :''(Mark doesn't want Malcolm touching the equipment.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, sorry. :'''Mark:''' Don't touch that. :'''Malcolm:''' This isn't in the package, is it, Mark? :''(Sure enough, Malcolm's inner director starts channeling inside him again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Mark's assistant)'' You're not using that. You can't use that. ''(to Mark)'' This is dumbing down of the news agenda that people like me and your boss's boss really object to. And I'm gonna mention this to him when I see him on Friday, by the way. :'''Mark:''' Malcolm, this is a traditional old-fashioned news story, called 'Minister looks a tit'. :'''Malcolm:''' Hey, everybody looks a tit, you know? Take two of these shots of him looking moronic out. Leave a couple in of him looking a little bit dim, put one of him composed, drop it down the running order, and we've got a deal. :'''Mark:''' I'm not – Deal, what deal, Malcolm? He looks a tit, that's it. I'm sorry. :'''Malcolm:''' But there is a difference between allowing someone's natural tittishness to come through, and just exploiting it through camera work here! You're sticking one tit moment on top of another tit moment. That wouldn't happen in real life. And do you know about that woman? Have you made any inquiries into the background of that woman? :'''Mark:''' I'm sure my researchers have, yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes. Your researchers have? Well, well, I'm gonna tell you I don't think they have. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Stats, percentages, international comparison, information! Email them fucking WADS of information!

COME ON, UNLEASH HELL! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' Sometimes I...You know, when you meet the real...the actual people...Don't you ever, I mean, just look at the little, beady eyes and mean mouths sort of sneering, and...I mean, I know this is what they think people like me think, so I hate thinking it, but I just find myself thinking they're from a different fucking species. You know, with their T-shirts and weird trousers and tabards. Why do they wear clothes with writing on them?

They're 50/50 on bumping Hugh up to top of the bill with the Piss Woman, right? Can you sort that out for me? ''(Ollie agrees)'' Good lad. Okay, see you later. :'''Ollie:''' ''(seeing a bag of chips from a bin on his chair)'' Oh nice, very nice. :'''Jamie:''' WELL GO FOR FUCK'S SAKE, YOU BIG FUCKING PRICK!

Would you like that? :'''Ollie:''' No, no – :'''Malcolm:''' You and Jamie and a rubber truncheon, locked in that fucking newsroom together. :'''Ollie:''' No, I'm fine. :'''Malcolm:''' Then make me happy.

Well done, and bye bye. :'''Factory Woman:''' ''(in a voicemail)'' Hello, Ollie. Just seen myself on the news. Okay, let's get something done now.

I never found them on my desk. Maybe somebody stole them. Or, maybe, maybe, you're fucking me around. And if you fuck me around again, I'll tell you something: ''(laughs slightly)'' I am going to rip your fucking head off, and shit right down into your neck, ''(grabs Frankie's head)'' and then I'm going to stick your FUCKING head back on, and SHIT ON THAT! ==Series 2, Episode 2== :''(At the start of this episode, Hugh is talking on his cell phone to someone about the impending "Cabinet Reshuffle.")'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(on his cell phone)'' No, Derek.

Always best to be inside the tent, pissing out. :'''Ollie:''' Absolutely. If you were, you know, doing this over at Environment and Rural Affairs, you'd be, uh, at 8:30 you'd be very much outside the tent, wouldn't you? Probably at Coffee Republic. :'''Hugh:''' Covered in piss. Good luck. You'll be fine. You don't need good luck. Yeah. :'''Robyn:''' What about the...piss? :'''Hugh:''' ''(reassuring Robyn)'' No no no, it's just a figure of speech. :'''Robyn:''' I'd better go. :'''Ollie:''' See you later, Robyn. :'''Robyn:''' OK. :'''Ollie:''' ''(looking at his cell phone)'' I'm sure there's a way of... :'''Hugh:''' ''(chasing after Robyn)'' Robyn! :''(Hugh just remembered to ask Robyn a question.)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(whispering to Robyn)'' Robyn, sorry.

I'll box his ears. :''(Robyn leaves)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' Box his ears? If that was flirting, that was absolutely crap. :'''Glenn:''' What? :'''Hugh:''' Box his ears? How long is it since you've had sex? :'''Glenn:''' That is between me and my internet service provider. Anyway, about this morning's – :'''Ollie:''' ''(chuckling)'' You've actually gone red, Glenn. Look at you. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, you have. Look, you've gone red. :'''Glenn:''' I have not gone red.

There seems to have been a bit of a problem last night with, uh, Liam on ''Newsnight.'' I would like to know why did we have a Minister on last night who did not appear to know their lines. :'''Reporter #1:''' It's not all his fault, Malcolm. We-we grilled him beforehand. :'''Malcolm:''' You grilled him? :'''Reporter #1:''' He's got a new baby. He's not getting enough sleep. :'''Malcolm:''' I don't care if he's got a new baby. I don't care whether he's tired. He looked like he didn't know what he was fucking talking about. Now I know he doesn't know what he's fucking talking about, but he's got to appear as if he does, right? ''(Malcolm starts pointing at all the reporters.)'' And that is your job and your job. ''(He continues pointing.)'' And yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours. With all due respect of ministers, give them the lines. Right? :'''Robyn:''' Give them all the lines to say? :''(Malcolm introduces the other reporters to Robyn.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' This is the delightful Robyn. She's just with us today. She's standing in for, eh, Terri Coverley at the Department of, uh, Social Affairs. So let's be gentle with her, please. No remarks about the Department of Stuffed Anuses, or the Department of Stupid Announcements, or the Department of Sod All. ''(Laughter emanates from the room.)'' Right, next. :'''Robyn:''' Reshuffle? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Robyn, smiling)'' Yes, there is, uh, a pending reshuffle, I can see we're not gonna get anything past you! "There was a young girl from DOSA, who helped herself to a samosa." ''(Malcolm jokingly makes a karate chop.)'' Argh! Next time I'll come up with something. Just a bit of fun. Um...Yes, the reshuffle. No, yes, well, definitely, we-we don't know anything. ''I'' don't know anything. So, um, we can't say anything. But you know, even if we did, we wouldn't. But we don't, so we both can't and won't. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' ''(asked for a line about Julius Nicholson at his 8.30 meeting)'' 'Julius Nicholson is a hugely respected adviser. He now has a wide-ranging brief, and his blue-sky vision and helicopter thinking will enable this Government to go, in his own phrase, "beyond delivery, and beyond that".' That's the line, OK? And if he does stick his baldy head round your door and comes up with some stupid idea about 'policemen's helmets should be yellow', or 'let's set up a department to count the moon', just treat him like someone with Alzheimer's disease, you know? Just say to him, "Oh, yeah, that's lovely, that's good. We must talk about that later." OK? <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh is now at Malcolm's office at Number 10. Hugh wants to talk to Malcolm about the impending reshuffle.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on his mobile)'' In no way, shape or form is it gonna have any ''(knock at door)'' – Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off. :'''Hugh:''' ''(entering)'' Well I'll come the fuck in then. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(back on his mobile)'' It's just something that Nicholson's flown, you know. It's a kind of brain exercise, like "What would it be like if men had tits?", you know? [[wikipedia:Mark_Mardell|Mark Mardell]], yeah, ''(laughs)'' that's pretty good, actually. All right, then. See you, then. ''(hangs up)'' Hugh? :'''Hugh:''' I thought you would want to know as soon as possible. :'''Malcolm:''' What? :'''Hugh:''' Terri's dad. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah? :'''Hugh:''' No news at the moment. :'''Malcolm:''' Right, so you've come to talk about the reshuffle, yeah? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I have. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah? :'''Hugh:''' In terms of shuffley stuff, how is Neil? I mean, is his heart... :'''Malcolm:''' Have you not heard? :'''Hugh:''' No. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(sighing heavily)'' He's paralysed. :'''Hugh:''' Oh no. :'''Malcolm:''' Neil's on wheels. :'''Hugh:''' You're kidding. :'''Malcolm:''' He's a vegetable. :'''Hugh:''' Oh my God. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. :''(A lengthy silence follows...and then...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That means you could have his department. :'''Hugh:''' Oh, you are kidding. Well, fuck you very much. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I know that you're looking for mouth-to-mouth in the reshuffle, but I don't know anything about it.

How about a ban on sand castles? :'''Julius:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' I just wanted to find out if you're coming to my FSG briefing this afternoon. :'''Malcolm:''' FSG briefing? :'''Julius:''' Forward Strategy Group, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, you know, Julius, I think I'm just gonna have to send one of the -- I'll send one of the boys. I have got so much work to do here, what with this, uh, the MOD... :'''Julius:''' As the minister said to the prince, don't be surprised if we abolish you. I'll leave it with you. :''(Julius gets up and leave the office. Malcolm and Hugh resume their conversation.)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' That was a bit, um...Are you all right? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(annoyed)'' I'm fucking all right. I can fucking look after myself. :'''Hugh:''' Under the spotlight now, aren't you? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, ''you'' should just watch your own back, what with the missus dripping poison into the big guy's ear about you. :'''Hugh:''' Missus? What missus? :'''Malcolm:''' The Prime Minister's missus. Oh, what? You don't know? She doesn't like the cut of your jib, son. :'''Hugh:''' She doesn't -- She's hardly ''seen'' my jib. I just had a conversation with her at the New Year's party, that's all. ''(beat)'' Why doesn't she like me? I mean, what's not to like? :'''Malcolm:''' I mean, you just didn't click. :'''Hugh:''' ''(exasperated)'' We couldn't click! We were talking about the fucking Euro! How are you supposed to click over the Euro? It's fucking impossible. :'''Malcolm:''' Don't take it so personally. :'''Hugh:''' You're telling me she doesn't like me as a person! How else am I supposed to take it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ollie:''' Robyn, can you send these back to archives, 'cause they're not even highlighted, I'm not going to plough through all that myself. While you're talking to them, I need the last four months of the European Digest. I'm going to be moving – :'''Robyn:''' Is it 'cause you fancy me, is that what this is all about? :'''Ollie:''' Sorry? :'''Robyn:''' Why are you so bloody rude to me? I mean, that's got to be the reason. Other people, when they come in here, they knock on the door and they say "hello", "good morning", "thank you" and "nice top" sometimes. :'''Ollie:''' Right, um, well, no. I mean, for a start, I don't fancy you. I don't know where you got that in your head, but it's probably best to get it out. If I'm slightly polite to you on a semi-regular basis, will that in any way bypass it? :'''Robyn:''' I think that would definitely do it. :'''Ollie:''' Right, fantastic. Well, thank you very much for the work you do; hi, by the way, how are you? :'''Robyn:''' I'm really well, actually. :'''Ollie:''' Great, that's great; you look lovely; can I have the fucking Digest, please? That would be terrific. :'''Robyn:''' All you had to do was ask me. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, well, all I did do is ask. ''(Robyn bends down to get something)'' Phwoar! ''(She gets up and stares at Ollie)'' It was a joke. <hr width="50%"/>'' :''(Hugh and Ollie are discussing the latest Cabinet meeting.)'' :'''Hugh:''' I did mention your great quiet carriages thing and he just – ''(pulls a slightly disgusted face)'' :'''Ollie:''' Well what does that mean? :'''Hugh:''' Fuck knows what it means, but I don't think it means, "Oh, Hugh, you're fantastic. Here, become Home Secretary". And even if it did mean that, when he's in bed tonight with Mrs PM, flossing, then she'll say, "What do you mean, Hugh Abbot as Home Secretary? The man is a social spastic and very probably a registered nonce, darling." <hr width="50%"/> :''(This scene starts with Malcolm on his desk phone in his office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on the phone)'' This is just another example of thinking out of the box by someone who's clearly out of his fucking tree. :''(Someone's knocking on Malcolm's door -- and that someone is Julius Nicholson. Again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on the phone)'' Alright, I've got to go. I'll talk to you later. :'''Julius:''' ''(entering the office)'' Ah, Malcolm Tucker! :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Julius)'' Julius Nicholson! What can I do you for? :''(Both men sit down in their chairs for a chat.)'' :'''Julius:''' I am keen to have a chat with, um, Keith Percival. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. Uh, that won't be possible. :'''Julius:''' And I need to read the O'Rourke papers. :'''Malcolm:''' I'm afraid not. Anything else? :''(Uh-oh...this is gonna be a long, uncomfortable conversation.)'' :'''Julius:''' Look, Malcolm, you and I both know full well that my power and authority flows directly from the PM. If you've got a problem... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, Keith is so busy with real governmental work that he doesn't have time to discuss with you your ideas and theories. The O'Rourke papers are not relevant to anything that we can actually action at this moment. :'''Julius:''' That's slightly funny, because when I played tennis with the PM -- which I do as I'm sure you know, every Sunday -- he was saying just how much he was looking forward to seeing that paper. :'''Malcolm:''' He does think that your theories are interesting. He tells me that, because, you know, I see him every day. I also see him on a Sunday when I get together with his family and I make the fucking waffles. ''BUT'' -- I cannot allow you to come in here and interfere with the actual process of government. :'''Julius:''' Malcolm, that is my -- that is my ''JOB!'' That's my job! :'''Malcolm:''' Well, you're doing it very fucking well. :'''Julius:''' Malcolm, I'm sorry. There are gonna be big changes around here. Get used to it. We'll announce all this at the reshuffle. :'''Malcolm:''' With all due respect, Julius, the reshuffle is the business of the PM and the PM alone, which means that that is my business. It is my remit. :'''Julius:''' No, Malcolm. Historically, yes. But now it's part of my remit. :'''Malcolm:''' Right. OK, I'll tell you what we should do. ''(getting up)'' Why don't we just get our remits out, slap them on the table, and see who's got the biggest fucking remit? :'''Julius:''' ''(standing up)'' Mal-Mal -- Malcolm, Malcolm, we need to talk about accommodation, we need to talk about access... :'''Malcolm:''' Accommodation? Why am I talking about accommodation? :'''Julius:''' It's a 21-man department. We can't fit upstairs. This is ideal. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(confused)'' 21 men in here? :'''Julius:''' Not just in here, no. This office here will be perfectly usable, for not only myself... :'''Malcolm:''' That's not an office. :'''Julius:''' Yes, it is an office. :'''Malcolm:''' It's a pantry. :'''Julius:''' Well, whatever it is, we will refit this out as a working office... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(opening the pantry door)'' Julius, it's a fucking pantry. Look. :'''Julius:''' So what? What we'll do is we will kick through this -- Bang, straight into the PM's private study. ''(Julius shuts the pantry door.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(talking while eating something)'' What are people gonna say -- when they come in and they say, "Where is Julius Nicholson?" :'''Julius:''' I'm here. :'''Malcolm:''' He's in the pantry! :'''Julius:''' ''(knocking on the pantry door)'' Here I am. :'''Malcolm:''' You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna ridicule you. :''(Malcolm and Julius are talking over each other, and then Malcolm cracks wise...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''Where's the bankrupt in the cupboard?'' :'''Julius:''' Why are you behaving like a complete and utter prick? :'''Malcolm:''' I'm supposed to polish you up, burnish you up. Yeah, and when you get your big break and you're on fucking ''Call My Bluff'' or whatever it is, I'm supposed to... :''(Malcolm sees Julius heading for the door to leave the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Come back in here! Oi! Come back in here! JULIUS! Get the fuck back in here! :''(Julius reluctantly comes back in Malcolm's office, and Julius tries to lecture Malcolm while he's talking.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Please! Please! Come back. Let's be civilised. Let's-let's be civilised about it. Let's be civilised, come on. Let's be -- there ''are'' human resources, let's be civilised about it. Go over to your fucking pantry, right. :'''Julius:''' This is a perfectly usable office space... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(shutting the pantry door)'' Cool it for one minute, okay? Cool it. And just fucking cool it, shut up and fucking listen to me. This is an old fucking Georgian door. Do you know how long this has been here? :'''Julius:''' No I don't. :'''Malcolm:''' Since the time of Elizabeth I, at least. Now look at that. :''(Julius laughs in utter disbelief.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That does not open. Look at it. Look at it. Try opening it. Come on. Surely, this is the kind of stuff you like. Character building, team building. Put your hand over mine. Try to open the door. Come on, Julius.

Edward II? :''(Julius walks in)'' :'''Ollie''': I'd like to nail him to a tree through the head and watch lice slowly crawl over his body, eating off the flesh in a slow and painful death, ''(having already noticed Julius)'' but that rather bitter anomaly aside, most of the responses to the Warwick report press cuttings were pretty positive. :<hr width="50%" />'''Hugh''' ''(to Ollie)'': I ''am'' desperate, but I don't really want to ''look'' desperate, like Glenn. :'''Glenn''' ''(entering)'': Oh, God, here we go again. Yeah, like Glenn, what? :'''Hugh:''' Well, I was just saying, the last time you saw a snatch was... :'''Ollie:''' ''[[wikipedia:Basic_Instinct|Basic Instinct]]''. :'''Hugh:''' You see, that's good. That's the kind of repartee I need with the PM's wife. It's that final k-tsssss! you see, that's the bit I'm missing. :'''Glenn:''' Yeah, well, I think you could drop the snatch material with the PM's wife, don't you? :'''Hugh:''' Well, OK, between the snatch and the Euro there's some sort of happy medium.<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(on the phone)'': He is not getting anywhere near my fucking pantry, I tell you that.

Don't tell me you've not been invited. :'''Hugh:''' Yes, no, I have. It's just that I'm actually bashing myself tonight. :'''Julius:''' So you – you've got your own bash here? :'''Hugh:''' Uh yeah. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Julius:''' Ah! Back up, everybody, put the brakes on! We've got a bash happening here tonight and at the Treasury? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. It sounds complicated but I like to, um, maximise my face. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh''': ''(telling a joke at his party)'' And Julius, Julius Nicholson, says, ”I'm sorry but I think you'll find you're sitting in my seat.” :''(No one laughs)'' :'''Hugh''': And this was to God, as I mentioned in the setup. Anyway, have a lovely time. ''(to Ollie, whispering)'' A fiver if you set off the sprinklers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' Why didn't you tell me, Glenn? What possible reason did you have? You saw me, I was swinging like a colostomy bag! :'''Glenn:''' Oh, Hugh, grow up! Stuff happens in this department every day, I can't tell you everything! :'''Hugh:''' Since when, Glenn, since when does the Secretary of State for Social Affairs have to find out ''from the fucking press'' that every morning at 8:30 I'm being fisted up to the gallbladder by a bald man? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Right, guys, thanks very much for staying on. Julius Nicholson, right? :'''Glenn:''' Yep. :'''Malcolm:''' Blue sky thinker? Ex-business guru? Dog rapist? :'''Hugh:''' Quite possibly. :'''Malcolm:''' He's being a nuisance to me; he also has got plans to squeeze ''your'' department so hard you'll be lucky if you're left with one bollock between the three of you. So all I am doing here is asking you, formally, if you will join me in a little bit of a circle jerk. :'''Hugh:''' Circle jerk? What? :'''Ollie:''' It's when a lot of guys in a circle all, you know. ''(to Malcolm)'' Well, I assume you don't mean literally, do you? Presumably? :<hr width="50%" />'''Glenn:''' ''(on the phone to a journalist)'' Yeah I know it's probably bollocks, but that's what we all thought when Jim was up for Home Secretary, and then the next thing you know, he's given up the Colombian marching powder and taken up the sacraments. :<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(arriving at his 8.30 meeting)'': Morning, morning, morning!

You win a year's supply of condoms, which in your case is four.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Malcolm:''' So how was Cabinet this morning? :'''Hugh:''' It was good. Obviously, with reshuffle coming up, everybody's desperate to impress. Clare went round the room on a unicycle juggling burning kittens, but er – She didn't really, but what she did do was pretty embarrassing. :'''Malcolm:''' OK. :'''Hugh:''' And in terms of shuffle-y stuff, Carol ended up in Neil's seat. What do you think ''that'' means? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I think that means that Carol wants to be nearer the biscuits, just in case her blood sugar level drops. That woman, she's unbelievable. I have seen her go into second reading debates with Pringles! Her star is somewhat on the wane, I think she's going a bit downward, actually, [[wikipedia:Secretary_of_State_for_Constitutional_Affairs|Constitutional Affairs]]. :'''Hugh:''' Ooh, that's gonna hurt, Constitutional Affairs, that's the [[wikipedia:Geri_Halliwell|Ginger Spice]] of the – :'''Malcolm:''' Of the what, Hugh? Of the what? :'''Hugh:''' Of the Gov– the whole – :'''Malcolm:''' Ginger Spice. Jesus Christ, what – what fucking century are you living in? :'''Hugh:''' There was a fantastic feature about Ginger in the ''[[wikipedia:Heat_(magazine)|Heat]]'' magazine. Apparently she shaves downstairs and she's working for UNICEF or some sort of – :'''Malcolm:''' Hugh, you are talking absolute fucking drivel.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Hugh:''' It looked like Fatty was the one who was on his way out, but now it could just as likely be me. :'''Ollie:''' Well look, Hugh, if you're worried about Fatty we can always start gently briefing against him, I know it's late in the day and, you know, obviously it's not the first thing that we want to be doing – :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, 'Abbot says Fatty's a twat'. Does that make Fatty look like a twat? I think it makes me look like a twat for calling him a twat. :'''Ollie:''' Mm – it doesn't have to be you directly, does it? That's the point. :'''Hugh:''' Robyn? Come on, it's like giving a child a firework. :'''Ollie:''' Well, not Robyn. :'''Hugh:''' Actually that's where your bit of skirt – sorry, whatever the modern – your ho, your ho could actually be quite helpful. If you were just to leave some compromising bits of anti-Fatty documents, you know, just lying by the loo – :'''Ollie:''' Whoa, whoa. Just blatantly using Emma, I'm really not comfortable with that. :'''Hugh:''' Can I remind you, in the last 12 hours you've described her as being 'as mad as a jackdaw on crack', 'castratingly right-wing zealot', and also 'disappointingly below par in the blowjob department', so why the sudden outbreak of principle?<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Glenn:''' Are you still in the frame for ''[[wikipedia:Question_Time_(TV_series)|Question Time]]''? :'''Hugh:''' I am, but I think they're gonna go for Fatty to take advantage of the widescreen option. ''(Ollie laughs.)'' Any, erm – Are there any shuffle-y rumours? :'''Glenn:''' Yeah, yeah. Rob thinks Gerry's got the Foreign Office. :'''Ollie:''' The thing about this, moving offices, just from one place to another, completely different, it's just fucked as a system, isn't it? Because if you – it wouldn't happen in any other job – if you were, you know, Professor of Medieval English in Oxford and you were sitting in your study and somebody came through the door and went, 'Hey, guess what? You're now, er, Professor of Zoology, we want you in the other [[wikipedia:Quadrangle_(architecture)|quad]]', you know, that would be mental, you'd be sitting in a room like a stuffed tit just saying to people, 'How many Os in Zoology? I don't really know, this isn't really my field', and all of that information that you've built up over years and years about [[Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]] or whatever is of absolutely no use to you any more because Chaucer didn't really write about baboons. :'''Hugh:''' Ollie, these are very undergraduate concerns; my point is you don't have to be an expert to make decisions. :'''Glenn:''' That's why you have advisors, you twat. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, I am being serious, Glenn. :'''Glenn:''' Yes, so am I, you are a twat. :'''Hugh:''' I mean, the point is, a lot of knowledge is a dangerous thing. :''(Hugh's office phone rings; Glenn answers it)'' :'''Ollie:''' It's 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'. :'''Hugh:''' Well exactly, so a lot of knowledge is ''incredibly'' dangerous. ==Series 2, Episode 3== :''(A few moments ago, Hugh said that he does not want to close down schools for kids with special needs. He is now in his office discussing the Special Needs Bill with Glenn.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Glenn, the Special Needs Bill. With your, you know, particular interest, I can't do this. :'''Glenn:''' You know my views, you know. Inclusion is an illusion. It doesn't work. :'''Hugh:''' But you-you don't mind if I -- if I go ahead with it? :'''Glenn:''' Of course not. You know, look...you're only following orders. :'''Hugh:''' Oh, thanks. So you won't make me feel bad except by comparing me to a concentration camp guard? :'''Glenn:''' No. Right. Yeah. :'''Hugh:''' Now, tomorrow. Select Committee, that's Ballantine, isn't it? :''(But before Hugh and Glenn can continue discussing the Special Needs Bill, Ollie barges in and interrupts.)'' :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Hugh and Glenn)'' Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt. Who wants to go and watch Bollockvision? :'''Hugh:''' Bollockvision? :'''Ollie:''' Mr. Malcolm Tucker, turning it all the way up to eleven, down in the lobby. Come and have a look. :''(They all go out onto the balcony. On the other side of the atrium, on their floor, Malcolm is shouting at another Minister.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh, poor Keith. Malcolm must fucking love this place: Four ministers in one building. It's his dream, a one-stop bollock-shop. :'''Glenn:''' Trouble is, we're gonna be getting some of that in about an hour. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. I don't know which is worse, watching him slowly rumble towards you like prostate cancer, or him appearing suddenly out of nowhere like a severe stroke. :''(Terri, whose father died after a stroke, turns towards Hugh.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh. How's your sister coping? <hr width="50%"/> :''(The Department of Social Affairs has been renamed "The Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship" -- DoSAC for short.)'' :'''Glenn:''' So, Hugh, this -- this new word, 'Citizenship.' Did the PM actually outline what it entails? :'''Hugh:''' Well, to be honest, I think he was making the reshuffle up as he-as he went along, and I think we were very lucky that 'Citizenship' was the first word that sprang to mind. Otherwise we could be the Department for Social Affairs and Woodland Folk. :'''Ollie:''' See, the problem is, though, Hugh, that there's been a bit of a rush with you not in place. Uh, you know, every department trying to unload all the stuff that they didn't want. But it's been like somebody driving a lorry down Whitehall, shouting "Bring out your shit." And they have and it's ended up at our door. :'''Hugh:''' So what are we getting? :'''Ollie:''' Citizenship basically involves, uh, cutting pensions to the Ghurkhas, rejigging the protocols for a rabies outbreak, some crap from Health about long-term care for the elderly that neither they nor we have any real idea about. :'''Glenn:''' And what to do with the Isle of Man. :'''Hugh:''' ''(annoyed)'' Just what I fucking need. Five new ways to lose my job. :''(Hugh then starts eyeing a plant that he's just noticed is right next to his desk.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Where did that come from? :'''Ollie:''' Oh, Malcolm sent that. :'''Hugh:''' It's far too big. Why-why did he send it? :'''Ollie:''' Uh, office warming present. :'''Hugh:''' So why did he send us a present? :'''Ollie:''' I don't know. :'''Hugh:''' Has Security checked this? :'''Ollie:''' What for? Tiny little terrorists? :'''Hugh:''' Yes. :'''Ollie:''' ''(annoyed)'' It's a plant! Yes?! :'''Hugh:''' ''(moving on)'' Okay, so...citizenshit. What we need to do is knock together some nice, touchy-feely, fondley, sneaky, hand-in-the-bra sort of policies. :'''Glenn:''' New bicycles for special constables, that sort of thing? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Ollie:''' Making special needs kids clean up graffiti? :'''Hugh:''' ''(displeased)'' Yeah, that's just very mean. :'''Ollie:''' Well, yes. Not, of course, as mean as making them spell "graffiti." That genuinely is very mean. :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Hugh, calmly but not happily)'' I'll go and have a word with Malcolm. :'''Ollie:''' Okay. :''(After Glenn leaves the office, Hugh tries to reprimand Ollie for making a joke about special needs kids.)'' :'''Hugh:''' You just took a shit with your clothes on, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Why? :'''Hugh:''' Glenn's boy, Peter. He went to a special needs school. :'''Ollie:''' Oh. :'''Hugh:''' Yep. :'''Ollie:''' ...Glenn's had sex? :'''Hugh:''' God, you're such a prick, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' It's just a joke! :'''Hugh:''' There's more to life, you know, than drinks parties at the Foreign Office and having [[wikipedia:Nick_Robinson_(journalist)|Nick Robinson]]'s mobile number on your fucking BlackBerry! :'''Ollie:''' Yes. All right, all right, fine. Sorry, Hugh. I feel for the guy. I had a girlfriend with special needs once, so I know. ''(smiles smugly)'' Luckily, I was able to fulfill them. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm joins Glenn and Hugh in the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' So did you enjoy the show? :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Malcolm, jokingly)'' You were magnificent, darling. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Yeah, should I phone Keith so that I can get his team to watch you bollock me now? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Hugh)'' No no no no. Have I got my bollocking face on? :'''Hugh:''' Well... :'''Malcolm:''' No. This is my bollocking face? :''(Malcolm shows Hugh his infamous "bollocking stare.")'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh, crikey, yes. Thanks for the pot plant, by the way. :'''Malcolm:''' Did I send that? :'''Hugh:''' As an office warming present. :'''Malcolm:''' Christ, she's a ''great'' P.A., isn't she, Sam? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Malcolm:''' She always remembers the little people. ''(looking at the plant)'' Look at the size of that. Fuck, you could fucking crucify somebody on that. ''(back to Glenn and Hugh)'' So what do you think of the new building, eh? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I can't wait to move upstairs, actually, because I don't really like the glass walls on-on, on this floor. I just feel a bit exposed. :'''Glenn:''' Like a whore in a Reeperbahn window. :'''Terri:''' ''(on the phone, calling out to Glenn)'' Glenn, it's Ollie. He wants you to go through and clarify the Citizenship brief. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Terri)'' How much, love? :'''Terri:''' Sorry? :'''Glenn:''' Okay, I'm on it. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' I'll catch you later. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Hugh, smiling)'' I like your tan, by the way. :'''Hugh:''' Thank you. :'''Malcolm:''' Have you declared it? Staying at the villa of an influential friend? :'''Hugh:''' I-I haven't got any influential friends, Malcolm. You are my only influential friend. :'''Malcolm:''' Oh yeah. And I'm not really your friend. :'''Hugh:''' You're not really my friend. :'''Malcolm:''' So this, uh, Super Schools Bill... :'''Hugh:''' Yep. :'''Malcolm:''' You don't think it's so super, do you? :''(Malcolm gives Hugh the "bollocking stare." Again.)'' :'''Hugh:''' You're doing it now. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(unflinching)'' What? :'''Hugh:''' That's your bollocking face. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Hugh are now discussing -- or is it arguing over? -- the Super Schools Bill.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' You know, it's great that you get all misty-eyed over Glenn's kid. But no one's trying to fuck over special needs kids. :'''Hugh:''' R-Really? Really? Before I went away, I consulted an expert, Mark-Mark Ryan, and he... :'''Malcolm:''' The LSE education guy? And what did that sandal-wearing nonce have to say? :'''Hugh:''' What he said was that closing down special needs schools and putting needy kids into mainstream education is a lousy idea! :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but I've got an expert who will ''deny'' that. :'''Hugh:''' And SEN parents want the special schools kept open. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, my-my expert would totally oppose that. :'''Hugh:''' Who is your expert? :'''Malcolm:''' I have no idea, but I can get one by this afternoon. You see, the thing is you have spoken to the wrong expert. You've got to ask the right expert. And you've got to know what an expert's going to advise you before he advises you. Hugh, whether you like this or not, you are gonna have to promote this bill. So what I'm gonna do is -- I'm gonna get you another expert, yeah? :'''Hugh:''' ''(reluctantly)'' OK. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Robyn, Ollie and Terri are looking at the atrium of the new building from their floor.)'' :'''Ollie:''' Good spot for a suicide, this, I would think: good long drop, appreciative audience. :'''Robyn:''' What if you just broke your back? You know, you'd be paralysed for life and then you'd still be depressed about the thing that was depressing you in the first place. :'''Terri:''' What are these, um, hangy-down things? :'''Ollie:''' Oh, they're [[wikipedia:Sound_baffle#Interior_sound_baffle_design|acoustic baffles]], they stop it getting too echoey in here. :'''Robyn:''' So when you're breaking your back, nobody can hear you screaming? :'''Ollie:''' Well, that is the kind of attention to detail that you get in a [[wikipedia:Private_finance_initiative|PFI]] building. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(spotting them from the ground floor)'' ''HEY! GET BACK TO WORK, ALL OF YOU!'' <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh has privately admitted to Terri that he sent the sweary email from her account.)'' :'''Terri:''' Now Hugh, are you going to do the right thing, are you going to admit to this publicly? :'''Hugh:''' Are you – What? No! Are you mad? I can't do that, that ''mustn't'' happen! ''You've'' got – I ''need'' you, to – :'''Terri:''' What, to lie? :'''Hugh:''' I think it was [[Jacques Derrida|Derrida]] who said there is no such thing as actual ''empirical'' truth, but only – :'''Terri:''' Yeah, ''I'll'' tell you what Derrida said, he said, 'Go fuck your face, Abbot!' :''(Terri tries to storm out of the door, but only belatedly notices the exit switch)'' :'''Hugh:''' You need to mind your language, it just will keep getting you into trouble. :'''Terri:''' ''(finally opening the door)'' I can't even get out the fucking room!

No? Well, why did she keep asking, 'Just one expert? Only one? Not two experts? Less than three but not two?'

Then you are gonna walk out and you're gonna read from what we call a "prepared statement". In that you will say, "I'm really fucking sorry for sounding like a hairy-arsed docker after twelve pints. I promise that I will never call an 8-year-old girl a cunt again. Can we now just draw a line over this, and fucking move on. Thank you". Everybody goes home and then we wait and we see what happens.

No tie, we're thinking open-necked look might be good. :'''Peter:''' But I'm already wearing a suit and, controversially, a tie. :'''Stewart:''' Yeah, absolutely, sure.

Am I? Because, uh, I get people stopping me in the streets and saying, 'Are you still for locking up yobbos?', and I say, 'Yeah, of course we are.' And then I think, 'Well, are we?' Because maybe I missed a memo from you. Maybe I should understand yobbos now, or not even call them yobbos, call them 'young men with issues around stabbing.' ''(awkward silence)'' No tie, you say? :'''Stewart:''' No tie. :'''Peter:''' Quite a nice suit, actually. :'''Stewart:''' So, we were thinking...Shirt outside the trousers. :'''Peter:''' Outside? Not tuck my shirt in? :'''Stewart:''' Yeah. :'''Peter:''' I always tuck my shirt in, it's part of getting dressed. What, should I not do my flies up either? Let the old chap flop out. Is that modern enough for you? :'''Stewart:''' Just try it, Peter. Not the cock out, but just the shirt thing. :'''Peter:''' ''(untucking his shirt)'' I'm from a generation of men, Stewart, who tuck their shirts in.

Tom is our big fat, socially dysfunctional, swing-voter repellent, golden weirdo ticket. :'''Emma Messinger:''' Surely you can understand how this will work in our favour, Peter?

Right? :'''Nicola:''' She's not going to the comprehensive, Malcolm. She's going to a local independent school. :'''Malcolm:''' Jesus H fucking ''Corbett.'' Do you honestly think, do you honestly believe that as a minister you can get away with that? You are saying that, uh, that, that all your local state schools, ''all'' the schools that this government has drastically improved are knife-addled rape sheds, and that's not a big story?

Do you know what this is here? This here is fucking Series 10 of ''The Big Breakfast.'' And do you know what you are? You're the fucking dinner lady that they have asked to come and present the show. The reason I didn't know about you and your children is 'cause you were so low down on the list of candidates for this job, I didn't even have the chance to look into you. ''(beat)'' So low.

''(Richard gives Nicola the 'OK.')'' :'''Nicola:''' Hello, again. I got it right that time. I managed to come in at the right time. :'''Richard:''' Hello, and from the shadow cabinet, the right honourable Peter Mannion MP. :'''Peter:''' Hi, Richard. Good to see you again. :'''Phil:''' ''(in the control room)'' THE MANNIONATOR! :'''Richard:''' ''(to Peter)'' Good to see you again as well. Uh, listen, guys, first of all... :'''Terri:''' ''(to Phil)'' How old are you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard:''' Either of you got any piercings? Any tattoos? :'''Peter:''' Uh, I've got an appendix scar, does that count? :'''Richard:''' Classic! :'''Peter:''' Well, you know how it is.

Earrings.

She's behaving like a squirrel trapped in a pedal bin. What I'm asking you to do is have a word with, um, Blondie, that producer. And cut Nicola some slack because she needs all the sympathy she can get. :'''Terri:''' The problem is, though, Glenn, if you say to a journalist, 'Can you avoid that topic?', that's when they really go for it. I mean, it's like saying to the school bully, 'I'll wet myself if you tickle me'. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Throughout his show, Richard reads out listeners' texts about piercings.)'' :'''Richard:''' 'Dear Richard, I don't see the point of piercings.

It's a perfectly legitimate question. How can you be inspired out of poverty? :'''Nicola:''' Okay, you are being cynical, but anyway, we'll park that. Um, one of our initiatives is to designate certain people as fourth sector pathfinders. Now they would be pillars of a normal community. :'''Richard:''' Are you talking about "have-a-go heroes," for example? :'''Nicola:''' No, we're talking about everyday heroes. :'''Richard:''' I assume you'd want to avoid Charles Bronson-style vigilantes? :'''Nicola:''' ''(chuckling)'' Oh, yes. Yes, we don't, we don't want [[wikipedia:Charles Bronson|Charles Bronson]].

You and fucking Rupert Brooke, just out! :''(Meanwhile, Richard Bacon continues talking to Peter)'' :'''Richard:''' I know exactly what you mean. The other day, the BBC sent me on a Health & Safety away day, where they taught me how to carry a cup of coffee. :'''Peter:''' (laughing) This, this is exactly what I mean. That makes no sense. That's nonsense, and uh... and we need to say no to the nanny state, uh, "boo" to nanny, and claw back some personal responsibility in the name of common sense. :'''Richard:''' We need to...Hang on, we need to say boo to nanny? :'''Peter:''' Yeah, it's just a play on [[wikipedia:Jools Holland|Jools Holland]]'s Hootenanny.

He's getting the message. :'''Phil:''' Look, I couldn't say while you were together, but I really don't know what you saw in him. :'''Emma:''' You told me all the time how much you hated him. That was one of the main reasons I went out with him so long. :'''Terri:''' ''(to Emma)'' Are you splitting up with Ollie? :'''Emma:''' Sorry, can you actually hear all right over there? I can pop into the studio and get some microphones so you can get all the details. :'''Terri:''' No, I can hear fine. Yes, no, I think that's a really good idea. I mean, for your sake. I'd back you up on that. :'''Emma:''' (pleased) What, I have your backing? Oh, fantastic. Thanks. :'''Phil:''' Hey, Emma, look, you're clearly overemotional right now. Why don't you go home, you know, drink some mojitos with your girlfriends and talk about shoes? I've got it covered here. :'''Emma:''' Yeah. Well, actually, Stewart called me in because he wanted me to SatNav Peter out of the dead end you've driven him into.

We have tried repeatedly to initiate legislation which will outlaw these bonuses. Now, your party has persistently blocked those attempts. :'''Richard:''' I think it's an interesting point. What do you say, Peter Mannion, to the accusation that these huge bonuses and the offense that they cause are the fault of your party? :'''Peter:''' I think that's a completely fatuous argument when Nicola's party has been in government for what seems like about a century, and bonuses under their watch have increased...What? Five fold? Oh, dear! Come on, Nicola. Pull your finger out. :'''Nicola:''' Okay, fine. So you personally would like to see more done to hit the fat cats? :'''Richard:''' ''(to Peter)'' Is that what you're saying? :'''Peter:''' (stammering) Well, yes-yes. I...I would.

So him paying for a private clinic, then, was just because he's such a nice man? :'''Malcolm:''' He IS a nice man. What about your nice man at Central Planning, eh?

"Oh, well I am just de Shadow Chancellor"? :'''Stewart:''' Malcolm, he won't have a defense, because you haven't got that picture... :'''Malcolm:''' I have! :'''Stewart:''' Because that didn't happen! However, I do have a statement from a rent boy... :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, that's very useful for you. You can claim that against your expenses, can't you? :'''Stewart:''' Oh, yeah, funny, very funny. :'''Malcolm:''' And you'll get that for free.

We both, both make statements saying that our guys in there, they were not in possession of all the facts. Hmm? But we're looking into it. :'''Malcolm:''' You'd do that? Hang your own guy out to fucking dry? :'''Stewart:''' What? Peter Mannion, MP? Yeah! Old guard? We're not sending him to DoSac to fatten him up. We're putting him out to pasture, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' We should just go home. :'''Stewart:''' We can do that. We can just seal this in. Contain the toxicity.

About to get a fucking facial. :'''Ollie:''' Right, quick summary: [[Andy Murray]], famous tennis player, also lovely Scotch person, face of Healthy Lifestyle Choices. Nicola Murray, slightly panicky, er, minister-lady: wonder if that's OK with you? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah yeah yeah, Andy Murray, yeah, Andy Pandy, fucking Gandhi having a hand-shandy, whatever, just, you know, fuck off out of my life, OK? :'''Ollie:''' Okey dokey!

Everybody's heard about the cooking, so it's... :'''Geoffrey:''' So, Malcolm, what's all this about? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I know that these are hard times for print journalists, yeah? I mean, I read that on the internet. I mean, one day you're writing for the papers and the next you're sleeping under them. :'''Marianne:''' What, so this is like Malcolm Tucker's Soup Kitchen? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, it is, kind of, in a way. I just think that you should have one big square meal before you end up fucking living off white lightning in your own feces. Come on, get stuck in. I'll dish it up for you. :'''Marianne:''' What about Tom bringing back Steve Fleming? Kind of makes you old news, doesn't it? :'''Geoffrey:''' You repositioning yourself, Malcolm? :'''Malcolm:''' This is about a guy sharing his ghee. That's it. Okay? :'''Geoffrey:''' So you're not currying favor, then? :''(Marianna starts laughing at Geoffrey's joke.)'' :'''Marianne:''' (laughing) Sorry... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Geoffrey, jokingly)'' Fuck you.

It'll buy us a bit of time. :''(They all do so, as Steve continues to move towards them.)'' :'''Glenn:''' Come on, have a look. :'''Ollie:''' I've never seen Steve Fleming in the flesh. :'''Nicola:''' You're lucky. :'''Ollie:''' For a man who brought us back into power, he's not very imposing, is he?

No, your face looks quite gaunt. Muscly. :'''Nicola:''' Does it now? :'''Steve:''' Anyway, I come bearing caffeinated gifts. :''(Steve presents the cups of coffee, and the team is appreciative of his gesture. Then, Steve gets down to business.)'' :'''Steve:''' I'm gonna cut to the chase. I need you to publish...all the crime stats since 2004 as an accompaniment to our Transparent Government launch. From 2004 up to the last quarter. :'''Nicola:''' Okay, we are just about to launch, um, Healthy Choices. ''With'' Andy Murray. :'''Steve:''' Andy Murray! Whoa! (Steve mimes a tennis volley.) Ace! :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Steve)'' Good joke. :'''Steve:''' ''(to Nicola)'' We'll make a Minister of you yet. :'''Nicola:''' I mean, after that, we can try and get you something for, say, end of the week? :'''Steve:''' After? Why after? Why not right alongside? Or, here's a thought...Before. :'''Nicola:''' Because we're under-resourced and it's not a priority. :'''Steve:''' The PM thinks it is a priority. It can be done. ''(beat)'' Oh, I seem to have reached the end of my argument. :'''Nicola:''' Okay. Well, look, um, why don't we say Thursday lunchtime. Okay? :'''Glenn:''' Well, you've got Fran's leaving lunch on Thursday. :'''Nicola:''' I have got a lunch. Thursday afternoon. :'''Steve:''' (still smiling) Yes, I don't give a fuck about Fran's leaving lunch. I'm saying ''Now now now now now now now now. Now!'' :'''Nicola:''' Okay. Chillax. We're on the case, Steve. :'''Steve:''' Lovely. Thank you very much. :'''Nicola:''' Good. Okay. Well, it's a delight to see you again. :'''Steve:''' Oh! :'''Nicola:''' Oh, I get another one. :''(Another awkward hug between Steve and Nicola.)'' :'''Nicola:''' (jokingly) Mind my gaunt face. :'''Steve:''' ''(to the whole team)'' Bye-bye. :'''Nicola's team:''' Bye. <hr width="50%"/> :''(After their first meeting with Steve Fleming...)'' :'''Ollie:''' What do you call that?

But I've made this so thick and black, it'll be like fucking drinking plimsolls. :'''Marianne:''' This Steve Fleming thing is gonna end in tears, isn't it? I mean, you sacked him last time. :'''Malcolm:''' All right. Right. Okay. Off the record. Right? Okay? While Steven is a useful tool, and I do emphasize the word "useful" here, I'm still running the show. Right? :'''Geoffrey:''' If you're still running the show, why do you need to tell us? :''(Malcolm calmly -- but still menacingly -- walks up to Geoffrey, with the pot of coffee still in his hand.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' (calmly) Geoffrey, all I'm saying is this: It would be very much fucking appreciated if you could emphasize the fact that I'm at the heart of the government. Because it's fucking true. I am the heart. I am the ventricles. And the fucking aorta. :'''Marianne:''' (chuckling) Malcolm, we get it. You're still the star of the show. :'''Malcolm:''' It's not for me to say, darling. :'''Geoffrey:''' No, you're still the star of the show. Yeah, until they start wheeling out the celebrities. What's next, Malcolm? Ant and Dec as the new fucking litter tsars? That's when you know you're 20 points behind in the polls. :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, well, thank you very much, Mr. Fucking Prick Robinson. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Nicola's getting a phone call from a certain someone...)'' :'''Terri:''' Nicola, it's your nephew on the phone. :'''Nicola:''' What? :'''Terri:''' Your nephew.

Fuck's sake! :'''Terri:''' Maybe it was three. :'''Nicola:''' God, it drives me insane! Is he there now? :'''Terri:''' Yeah, yeah. Hang on, let me just get him off hold. :'''Nicola:''' It really pisses me off! The fucking phones in this whole -- Andy! Hello! It's Nicola Murray, yes! What a delight to talk to you! :''(While NICOLA Murray's chatting on the phone with ANDY Murray, Ollie gets a call on his cell phone from Malcolm.)'' :'''Ollie:''' Hi, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Ollie. Andy Murray. :'''Ollie:''' Oh, good. We are literally confirming him as we speak. :'''Malcolm:''' Ditch him. We can't go with celebrities. Right? It's just gonna look bad. :'''Ollie:''' Why? :'''Malcolm:''' We're gonna look desperate, all right? :'''Ollie:''' Well, uh...Steve Fleming likes the idea. :'''Malcolm:''' Never mind what Mummy says. Just do what Daddy says, right? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, whilst you're on, um, just, um...there's another thing. Uh, Mummy has asked us to publish the crime stats as part of the Transparent Government initiative. Is that all right with Daddy? :'''Malcolm:''' It's fine. :'''Ollie:''' Really? Because, um, Nicola's got that baffled, panicky look like a child on the ghost train. :'''Malcolm:''' Give me a second while I look up my little file of things I really don't give a fuck about. And here we have under the letter N, we've got "nail-bombing golf clubs," there is, uh, the National Trust, there is Newcastle...Nicola Murray. Yes. She's still there. So fucking can Andy Murray and just get on with the fucking crime stats. :'''Nicola:''' ''(still on the phone with Andy)'' I'll make sure Kate liaises with my press whiz kid, uh, Terri Coverley. She's a woman. But listen, if there is anything else we can do for you, ''please'' don't hesitate to call. Dare I say it, we are ''here to serve'', (laughing) if you'll excuse the pun. All right, Andy. Take care. Bye. <hr width="50%"/> :''(But now, Ollie has to give Nicola the bad news...)'' :'''Ollie:''' Malcolm says we have to drop him. :'''Nicola:''' (in disbelief) What? :'''Ollie:''' Andy. He's not in, he's now out. Apparently, according to Malcolm, sent to bed without any barley water. :'''Nicola:''' I mean, he's a fucking tennis player! We're not asking Shane MacGowan! ''Why?'' :'''Ollie:''' It's nothing personal. He just said bringing in celebrities looks desperate. He said it's the sign of a dying government. :'''Nicola:''' We are a dying government! Our hair's falling out, and we're coughing up blood, and our kids are asking us to change the will! :'''Ollie:''' Look, he was quite clear about this. He said just, you know, kill it. Kitten, breeze block, sack, canal. :'''Nicola:''' Oh, I can imagine him being clear about it. Right. We've gotta get on to -- ''(to Terri)'' ''You've'' gotta get on to... :'''Terri:''' Me? :'''Nicola:''' ...Andy Murray's people and find a polite way of saying, "Piss off, Andy. Apparently, you're too well-known to front our public awareness campaign." :'''Terri:''' Right. :''(But Glenn has some GOOD news on the crime stats.)'' :'''Glenn:''' Right! Good news is I have done all that pile and that's in the system. :'''Ollie:''' Excellent. :'''Glenn:''' (stretching his back) Oh, fuck me! :''(But then, Glenn sees a trolley-full of more crime stats headed his way!)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''What the hell's THIS?'' :'''Ollie:''' It appears to be a trolley-full of crime stats. :'''Glenn:''' "Vandalism?" "Bicycle theft?" Oh, this is ridiculous! :''(And just when he says THAT, Glenn kicks open a box of crime stats!)'' :'''Ollie:''' Well, that's given us an unexpected head start, well done. I would kill you but I'd have to add you to the fucking figures. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicola:''' ''(to Terri)'' Okay. Think about what you're gonna say. :'''Terri:''' Yeah. Okay, I've done that. :'''Nicola:''' What? Already? Is that enough time? :'''Terri:''' ''(on the phone)'' Kate. Hello. Uh, Terri Coverley. Yes. Yeah, we're thrilled about Andy being on board. :'''Nicola:''' ''(whispering to Terri)'' Get on with it. :'''Terri:''' (stammering) No. I'm not actually saying that it's... :''(Nicola then sees Steve Fleming entering the room. Again.)'' :'''Nicola:''' (still whispering) Shit! End the call. End the call. It's Mustache Sally. Fleming! Steve Fleming's here! Put the phone down! :'''Steve:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Ah, Nicola Murray! How are the crime stats coming along? :'''Nicola:''' It's not easy, Steve, as you can see. But Glenn and Ollie are on top of it. :'''Ollie:''' "Other theft?" What the fuck is other theft? :'''Glenn:''' I don't know what other theft is. :'''Steve:''' If you want to stay late, or pull an all-nighter, if you think it'd help – :'''Glenn:''' You want us to work all through the night on this? :'''Steve:''' It would be very much appreciated upstairs. :'''Ollie:''' Hah, well: I'm an atheist. :'''Steve:''' ''(laughs)'' By the Prime Minister. I did get the joke, by the way. :'''Ollie''' ''(mouthing)'': Well done. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm is back from holiday in this scene, and he's having a warm and friendly chat with his loyal assistant, Sam.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' (happily) Good morning, good morning, good morning! I'm back! I'm sorry I left my sombrero at home, but here I am. What do you think of the tan, huh? What do you think of this shade? I call it "Custard Cancer." (Malcolm gets a delivery.) Oh, thank you very much. :'''Sam:''' Where did you go? :'''Malcolm:''' I went to, um, Easter Island. I thought I'd spend my time there re-chiseling all the statues, so that they'd look like Westlife. How about a coffee? :'''Sam:''' Oh, I've sent you a link to Andy Murray's website. There's, uh, something you should see. :'''Malcolm:''' Andy Murray's website? :''(While Sam leaves Malcolm's office to get him a cup of coffee, Malcolm reads about the big news on Andy Murray's website...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Andy says, "Just agreed to lead the government's Healthy Choices campaign. Eat, live, be well." Fuck a Pot Noodle. :''(Uh-oh...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Sam, prepare my horse. I ride – to DoSAC! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicola:''' Hello, Terri. :'''Terri:''' Morning, Nicola. :'''Nicola:''' Who am I, Terri? :'''Terri:''' You're Nicola? Nicola Murray? :''(Nicola nods her head "Yes.")'' :'''Terri:''' Ah. Secretary of State for... :'''Nicola:''' That's right. I'm Secretary of State. So why has a sports personality launched my policy on his fucking website? :'''Terri:''' Ah! No, I know. I know exactly why that is. :'''Nicola:''' You didn't make the phone call, did you? :'''Terri:''' Well, uh, yes. :'''Ollie:''' Nicola, um, in other really bad news -- Good morning, by the way. :'''Glenn:''' (on the phone) This is about the crime stats, yeah? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, some of the crime stats that we published, as it turns out, were unverified and not ready for being in the public domain. Uh, Marianne Swift from ''The Mail...'' :'''Nicola:''' Oh, Swine-Face Swift. :'''Ollie:''' That's the one. She noticed, uh, a drop in the figures for aggravated burglary in the last quarter. Whereas when she checked it out... :'''Nicola:''' There was no drop. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Nicola:''' Right. So Swine-Face Swift and her piggy hack-hog colleagues... :'''Ollie:''' Exactly. So we're getting a lot of, uh, oinking on the phones. So basically what that means is that the department -- well, essentially the royal you, um, seem to have massaged the crime figures. :'''Nicola:''' Great. Thank you, Steve fucking "Ew, Nicola!" Fleming! :'''Ollie:''' Yup. He is a fucking...ninny, isn't he? :'''Nicola:''' Bring my dispatch boxes. :'''Ollie:''' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steve:''' Malcolm! :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, there he is, [[wikipedia:Bob_Carolgees|Bob Carolgees]]; how's the wee comedy dog? :'''Steve:''' Welcome back. Good holiday? I hear your kitchen's lovely at this time of year. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well actually, I went to Spain. :'''Steve:''' Oh, nice. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah yeah, I went to Malaga, it was lovely. I was golfing with [[Stephen Hawking]], he's fucking shit. He lied about his handicap. Mind you, I never had to hire a golf buggy, I just sat in his lap. :'''Steve:''' Please. Why do we have to be like this? All this negative energy. Come on! :'''Malcolm:''' What? :'''Steve:''' Well, we've got to work together. So, you know... :'''Malcolm:''' So what? I mean, that doesn't mean we have to like each other, does it? :'''Steve:''' No, I mean... :''(Someone's trying to get past Malcolm and Steve.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to the passer-by)'' Sorry. (He politely lets him pass through.) :'''Steve:''' We both know we don't like each other, everyone knows that, we are the Gallagher brothers of politics. :'''Malcolm:''' How does that work? Does that mean that I'm [[Noel Gallagher|the semi-talented songwriter]] and you're [[Liam Gallagher|the fucking loutish prick]]? That's a lovely analogy. :'''Steve:''' You were the one who forced me out of the sodding band. ''(chuckles)'' Come on, let's have a chat. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Steve continue their unfriendly chat in an office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' You were asked to leave the fucking band. And you wouldn't fucking go, would you? You had to hang on in there, like a [[wikipedia:Limpet|limpet]] up a whale's arse. :'''Steve:''' Why do you thrive so much on being disliked? :'''Malcolm:''' People hate me? Good! Bring it on. Do you know what they say about you? :'''Steve:''' I'm sure you're going to tell me, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' I'll tell you ''exactly'' what people think about you! :'''Steve:''' All right, go on then! :'''Malcolm:''' ''Fuck-all!!'' :'''Steve:''' Oh, do they? ''FUCK-ALL?'' :'''Malcolm:''' People have ''no'' fucking opinion about you! You're like fucking [[wikipedia:Special K|Special K]] or fucking the Moody Blues. That's you, fucking white noise in the background—Funny? Is that funny? Do you find that funny? :'''Steve:''' No, I don't find anything you're saying funny whatsoever. And I'll tell you a home truth, Malcolm Tucker: The people who are really hated in this country, the people who are really hated, are us. This government. How about we stand together? Let's both be team players, shall we? :''(But then, Malcolm's cell phone beeps.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Were you the Einstein that OK'd this fucking Andy Murray thing at DoSAC? Because I've got ''The Telegraph'' on here. (Steve's cell phone then beeps.) And you've probably got ''The Times'' asking why the budget's been pre-announced on Twitter by fucking Ryan Giggs. :'''Steve:''' (looking at his cell phone) Shit! "The last quarter's crime stats, which DoSAC have published, are unconfirmed projections." Shit! :'''Malcolm:''' That's DoSAC for you. :'''Steve:''' Come on, Malcolm. Team players! :'''Malcolm:''' Bring me sunshine. :''(Both men leave the office.)'' <hr width="50%"/> :''(Meanwhile, at DoSAC, Glenn, Ollie & Terri are on their desk phones, trying to get a better handle on the news of the moment.)'' :'''Glenn:''' (on his phone) No, we're not manipulating the figures. Somebody quite simply made a mistake. No. No, I couldn't possibly say who. :'''Ollie:''' (on his phone) Glenn Cullen. Glenn with one, one N. :'''Terri:''' (on her phone) We have actually decided to go in a different direction from Andy. :''(Steve and Malcolm have entered the room, both making a beeline for Nicola's office.)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Good holiday? :'''Malcolm:''' Shut it, you fucking hairdresser. :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Got any photos? :'''Malcolm:''' I've got a photo of you in a minute with your cock nailed to the desk. Hey, you want to see something that's truly worth photographing? Look at Steve Fleming at work, eh? That's the real master of spin. He's [[wikipedia:Jimi Hendrix|Spinny fucking Hendrix]]. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Steve & Malcolm are confronting Nicola in her office...much to Nicola's dismay...)'' :'''Steve:''' Nicola, you and your department have screwed up! :'''Malcolm''' ''(entering)'': I'd like to agree with the previous speaker, only adding the words 'fucking royally'. :'''Nicola:''' Oh Jesus, am I being gang-bollocked? :'''Malcolm:''' Andy Murray's [[wikipedia:Tim_Henman|Henman]]-fisting us in the press. We can't have that – :'''Steve:''' Well, with undue respect, Malcolm, the crime stats cock-up is a much bigger deal. :'''Nicola:''' This is such a great double act, isn't it? Good Cock, Bad Cock! :'''Malcolm:''' I'll tell you what, why don't you go first, mate? I need a wazz. ''(leaves)'' :'''Steve:''' I like you, Nicola, I quite like you. But darling, I've gotta ask you, what the bloody hell happened? :'''Nicola:''' Like you asked, we published the crime figures from 2004 up to the last quarter. :'''Steve:''' Yes, up to the last quarter but not up to and ''INCLUDING the last quarter, you dozy mare!'' :'''Nicola:''' 'Up to' includes the thing you're going up to. Right? If you say count up to 20, it means count up to ''and include'' the number 20! :'''Steve:''' The events leading up to the Second World War do ''not'' include the Second World War! :'''Nicola:''' We haven't got time for a semantic argument about this. :''(Malcolm returns.)'' :'''Steve:''' Listen, sweetheart – :'''Nicola:''' ''Do not'' fucking call me sweetheart! :'''Malcolm:''' I think you'll find that Steve was addressing me: the 'tache is a bit of a giveaway. :'''Steve:''' I will draft a statement. :'''Malcolm:''' You fucking will not draft any fucking statement! :'''Steve:''' I've been minding the shop! :'''Malcolm:''' You were fucking minding the shop, and what happened? A bunch of fucking schoolkids came in and fucking dropped their trousers and fucking had a shit in aisle 5! :'''Steve:''' Well thank you for giving us a guided tour around the Freudian nightmare of your head! :'''Nicola:''' Could you two decide between you in which order, and from which direction, I'm gonna be shafted? <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Steve are playing a "Tug of War" of sorts for Nicola's attention.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Ignore him. Just come with me.

Fucking talk to him. :'''Nicola:''' NO! :'''Malcolm:''' (whispering) Yes. :'''Nicola:''' You cannot be serious! :'''Malcolm:''' Was that an attempt at a joke? :'''Nicola:''' You told me to kill it! I've killed it! :'''Malcolm:''' Right now, some photos in the papers of a very boring man with tight white shorts on is gonna be a very pleasant distraction from Steve's fucking crime stats abortion. :'''Nicola:''' If we need a fucking celebrity, can we try somebody else? Steve Redgrave. :'''Malcolm:''' He's a boring fuck! :'''Nicola:''' Lewis Hamilton. :'''Malcolm:''' Fucking boring, boring fuck. And fucking drives a car. :'''Nicola:''' Chris Boardman. :'''Malcolm:''' Fucking cyclist! Are you fucking mental? ''Everybody'' hates cyclists! Even fucking cyclists hate fucking cyclists! Plus, ''he's'' a boring fuck! :'''Nicola:''' I cannot... :'''Terri:''' (''still'' outside the office) Paula Radcliffe? :'''Nicola:''' No, she shat in the street! :'''Malcolm:''' And she's a boring fuck as well. :'''Nicola:''' How about we just launch the policy without a celebrity? :'''Malcolm:''' (sarcastically) Oh, great idea. "Hello, there. Hi, everyone. I, Nicola Murray, would like to say to you that even though you don't fucking know me from fucking Adam, I think you should cut down on carbs." <hr width="50%"/> :''(Meanwhile, Steve is trying to turn a negative into a positive.

What have you both got so far? :'''Glenn:''' Well, actually, now we've been trying to think of a replacement for Andy Murray. Some of the women footballers...uh, Jessica Clark, or Sue Smith. Or Faye White. :''(Steve's starts smiling, but he's getting annoyed.)'' :'''Steve:''' I ''cannot believe'' the energy going into Andy Murray!

But when... :''(Steve Fleming is already in Malcolm's office.)'' :'''Steve:''' Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' (on his phone) Excuse me. :'''Steve:''' I need to talk to you. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Steve)'' One second, please. ''(back to his phone)'' Listen, when that...When that incident occurred, I was on holiday. Are you saying to me that my wee caravan's a great fucking waste of time? And my stupid fucking wing mirror extensions? :'''Steve:''' (pointing to the TV) The crime stats and Andy Murray, Malc. It's a double fault. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(answering a knock at his door)'' Listen, if you are not a prostitute or a pizza guy, fuck off! ''(to Steve)'' Steve, listen, could you eat or fuck whatever's at the door on your fucking way out, please? ''(to a colleague)'' No thanks. ''(back on his phone)'' How can I be held responsible? What, for what? I've created a what around the government? I've created a vibe? Listen, son, the only fucking vibe you have to worry about is the one that your wife hides in her knicker drawer. ''(back to Steve)'' I am on top of this, okay? :'''Steve:''' Oh, fine, fine. You know, I'm just saying I'll gladly lend you a hand if you feel the need to keep your head down. :'''Malcolm:''' I don't need to keep my head down, because unlike yourself, I don't give blowjobs to truckers. :''(Another knock at Malcolm's office door...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' I SAID FUCK OFF! :''(The door opens, and -- SURPRISE! It's Julius Nicholson!)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, it's Lord Nicholson! What an enormous pleasure this is! :'''Julius:''' (with a big smile) Well, in fact, it's, um, the Right Honorable the Lord Nicholson of Arnage.

Have you got your mink thong and your ermine colostomy bag? :'''Julius:''' No, I don't, no. I have to hire that, unfortunately. I can't wear it on the Tube or the bus, but I would. It would be great larks, but there we go. :'''Steve:''' How about a coffee? Coffee? :'''Julius:''' Well, um, if there's coffee going, I'd never say no to a nice cup of coffee. :'''Malcolm:''' Do you not drink coffee anymore? Is it all port and swan's blood these days? :'''Julius:''' Swan's blood. That does sound nice. No, I'm just sort of passing through, because obviously we need to start booting up this crime stats inquiry. But it's in effect an investigation into the facts. But I thought since I was passing through... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but you don't have to talk to me about that, do you? 'Cause I was on my holidays then. Did you get my postcard? :'''Julius:''' Well, I will speak to whomsoever I need to speak to, holiday or no holiday? :'''Malcolm:''' Where did you learn to speak like that? Is there a special school that's just you and Brian Sewell went to? :'''Julius:''' I'm gonna leave you to it, frankly. :'''Malcolm:''' So soon? :'''Steve:''' And I'm gonna make tracks as well, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Okay, good to see you both. :''(But just before Steve leaves...)'' :'''Steve:''' ''(to Malcolm, softly)'' The problem is that you are shifting from the man people love to hate to the man people just hate.

Is Tom looking after you? :'''Nicola:''' You're all over the newspapers like a pissing puppy, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I think you'll find that's what we masters of the dark arts call a blip. Tomorrow that will all be old news. It'll be like the fucking [[wikipedia:The War of the Roses|War of the Roses]]. Or [[wikipedia:AIDS|AIDS]]. Remember AIDS? Listen, Nicola, see that?

No, that's not... :'''Nicola:''' You're nothing if not persistent, are you, Malcolm? :''(Julius breaks up the conversation.)'' :'''Julius:''' Don't do that! I made it quite clear... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Julius)'' I was standing over there and I thought, "Nicola's choking." But she wasn't. She was laughing, retrospectively, at your massive shiny head.

Your five minutes starts now. :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck off. :'''Steve:''' ''(to Julius)'' This is an acutely private moment, Julius. Would it seem terribly rude if I asked you to ''shit off'' for five minutes? :'''Julius:''' Yes, it would. :''(And now, Nicola enters the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Can you fuck off as well? :'''Nicola:''' ''(to Julius)'' Julius, what -- ''(to Malcolm)'' Sorry, excuse me? ''(back to Julius)'' Julius, what is the deal? :'''Julius:''' At ''the moment'', Malcolm is getting ''The Sack.'' :'''Nicola:''' (stunned) Shit. Now? Literally? I mean, in -- I'm actually in the sacking? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Yeah, well, let's see what the fucking Prime Minister has to say about that! Huh? Let's see what he has to say! :'''Steve:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Listen to me a minute!

Yeah, let's hear it, let's hear it. :'''Steve:''' Listen to me for one second. :'''Malcolm:''' Go right ahead. :'''Steve:''' I wouldn't tell ''you'' what I've just told you ''before'' I'd told the press pack, would I? That would be very very unprofessional. So there's no point in getting angry because the show's over. It's curtains. No curtain call.

It is a double, double win. :'''Stewart:''' Yes, a double win for both babies of the Coalition, yeah? :'''Emma:''' Absolutely. :'''Stewart:''' (happily) It's "win squared!" :'''Peter:''' Terrific. Right, shall we do a Mexican wave round the table? :'''Fergus:''' From my P.O.V., re all this, big hurrah.

All right, the top line, folks, is this: It's about coalition, remember, yeah? :'''Fergus:''' ''(to Stewart)'' No, this is not about coalition. This is about you nicking our ideas and doing us up the Eurotunnel. :'''Phil:''' Come on. You're basically a couple of homeless guys we've invited to Christmas dinner. Don't bitch because we don't let you carve the turkey. :'''Peter:''' Let me just say it simply for you, Stewart: I don't understand the Networked Nation and the Silicon fucking Playground "gigabits," people watching television on telephones. For what it's worth, I think Fergus should carve this particular turkey. :'''Adam:''' There you go. :'''Stewart:''' Peter, Peter. The Networked Nation is about harnessing the interconnectivity of everyone in society. It's a new way of thinking. Innovation, self-investment, revenue flux, growth, ergo a healthy network.

Might as well be talking to fucking geese. :'''Phil:''' Well, you know the school's only 10 minutes from your house. You could pop round for a late lunch. :'''Peter:''' Not much of a celebration. "Hello, darling, make me a Cup-a-Soup." Oh, now, I need a thoughtful, very personal present for Tina. Any ideas? :'''Phil:''' Erm, what about a sexy undergarment? :'''Peter:''' (disappointed in Phil's suggestion) No. :'''Emma:''' Perfume. What perfume does she wear? :'''Peter:''' No idea. Expensive, smells a bit of lemons. :'''Terri:''' Peter, before you go, I-I do really need a comment, I'm sorry, on this Tickel protest, please. :'''Peter:''' OK: 'As we enter the third week, I find Mr. Tickle's attention-seeking tent-based twattery even more annoying than weeks one and two.' :'''Terri:''' Can't actually say that. :'''Peter:''' Really?

I don't think I'll be able to get that cleared before 6:00, so that's effectively tomorrow, isn't it? :'''Adam:''' Sorry, Terri, we don't need clearance. We're not covering a Beatles track, we're the fucking Government. :'''Terri:''' Yes, I'm sorry, but I do need to get that through Number 10 before I can do anything. :'''Fergus:''' Uh, was Terri actually in the meeting earlier, Adam? :'''Adam:''' Yeah, she was, Fergus. I know she was there because I heard her humming the theme tune to ''[[wikipedia:Call the Midwife|Call the Midwife]].'' :'''Terri:''' Yes, well, Stewart was very clear about this protocol. It's about the only thing he ever has been clear about. :'''Adam:''' The policy has been agreed. This is just an additional publicity push. :'''Terri:''' Adam, I'm sorry if you think I'm being obstructive, but I cannot -- and I ''will not'' -- do ask you ask. :'''Fergus:''' Well you can't stop me, Terri! OK? I want you to know, YOU CANNOT WIN, [[wikipedia:Nurse_Ratched|NURSE RATCHED]], because this is my moment!

And on that point, Glenn, I wonder if it might be at all helpful if we collated every single statement Mannion's made about Tickle and the sell-off policy? :'''Adam:''' Yeah, as a sort of favor to selected hacks. Put a bit of air between us and the policy. A ''lot'' of air. :'''Glenn:''' Adam, this is not the time for party political point-scoring.

''(shows Peter a black tie)'' :'''Peter:''' But that's too far the other way! :'''Stewart:''' It makes him look guilty. :'''Phil:''' How can he be guilty? He's got the perfect alibi, he was at boot camp. :'''Peter:''' Oh! :'''Emma:''' Brilliant, let's release that, hey?

Welcome to the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Lord Goolding:''' This is an inquiry into the death of Mr. Douglas Tickel. And the practice and culture of the dissemination of confidential information between political parties and the public media. Mr. Weir. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, thank you, Lord Goolding. Um, our first witness today is, uh, is Mr. Stewart Pearson. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Stewart Pearson is ready to testify before the Goolding Inquiry Committee. He takes the oath, but politely declines to put his hand on the Bible.)'' :'''Stewart:''' ''(to the Bible holder)'' No, that's, er, it's fine. ''(taking the oath)'' Yeah. Um, I, Stewart Pearson, do sincerely declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and, and nothing but, uh, the truth. :'''Simon Weir:''' On page, uh, 235 of your, your witness statement...uh, you describe yourself as the, the "Human Rooter" in government. Can you, uh, can you explain what you meant by that? :'''Stewart:''' Um, I'm a...a "router," in the sense that I control the governmental informational ingestion and egestion process. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, Mr. Pearson, just to clarify, your job is -- is to make sure that the public perception of your government's program is a positive one, is that fair? :'''Stewart:''' It's not about perception, yeah? I believe in government as a transceiver, mmm? :'''Simon Weir:''' A transceiver? :'''Stewart:''' Yeah, it's really important, yeah, sure, to give out a, uh, a strong signal, but you -- to be effective, you've got to listen for an echo. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Could you possibly speak in plain English? :'''Stewart:''' I'm sorry, I, I...I thought, I thought I was. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So what-what is clear is that you are an important man, Mr. Pearson. :'''Stewart:''' I'm just a lad from Leeds with a lust for life, yeah? Um...there's an, uh, an African proverb that's, that's stuck with me, yeah? "If you think you're too small to make a difference, you've never spent a night with a mosquito." :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So...part of your job is to make sure that the government's message gets across clearly? Is that right? :'''Stewart:''' That's correct. And despite the sarcasm marinating in that question, I'm very successful in that endeavor. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(correcting Stewart)'' No, there was no sarcasm intended at all, Mr. Pearson. :'''Stewart:''' Sorry, I must have misread your face. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, does your job intrude on your home life? :'''Stewart:''' No. No, when I, when I close the front door, I'm...I'm no longer Stewart Pearson. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' When you... :'''Stewart:''' I mean, I mean when I close it from the, from the inside. You know, right. When I close it from the outside, then...then I very much am Stewart Pearson. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So who are you at home? :'''Stewart:''' Uh, I'm a husband, I'm a -- pardon me, a lover, I'm a carpenter, I'm a cook, I'm a flautist. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' A... :'''Stewart:''' A flautist. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Right. :'''Stewart:''' I play the flute. And I dabble on the Irish bodhrán. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, and would you like to express any, uh, remorse for Mr. Tickel's death? What would you like to say to his family? :'''Stewart:''' Uh, I would like to offer them maximum respect, you know? And maximum remorse. And maximum assurance that Mr. Tickel did not die in vain. We're here. You know? How can we make the government and the media inclusive without being intrusive? Yeah? And if we can answer that, at least we can make sure that there are no more Mr. Tickels. ''(Stewart corrects himself)'' I mean--I mean that not in the sense of, you know, wiping out the Tickel family name. I mean it in the sense that nothing like this will ever happen again. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Hello, Mr. Pearson. Tab 28 in your bundle there, page 263. ''(Both turn to that page in their folders.)'' A paper that you presented in 2006, 'The Iconography of Consensus.' Would you care to summarize the argument you present there? :'''Stewart:''' Sure, yeah, the main thrust – :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Bearing in mind Lord Goolding's desire for plainness and clarity. :'''Stewart:''' Right. Okay. I, um, hypothesise that – Sorry. I ''say'' that the design structure for a parliamentary democracy should be that of the [[wikipedia:Centre_Georges_Pompidou|Pompidou Centre]]: Morally and structurally explicit and open, a porous membrane. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Maybe just a little bit plainer, Mr. Pearson? :'''Stewart:''' People should know, er, what politicians are doing. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Brilliant. :'''Stewart:''' Thanks. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Government should be porous? :'''Stewart:''' Yes. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' But not leaking. :'''Stewart:''' Come on, if someone is determined to leak information, there's nothing that anyone can do about that. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' So as Director of Communications, you are unable to prevent sensitive material being communicated to journalists? :'''Stewart:''' If someone chokes on a packet of crisps, do you issue an arrest warrant for [[wikipedia:Gary Lineker|Gary Lineker]]? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Well, is it fair to say that you have in fact changed nothing, and government communications carries on exactly as they did before, by leaks and whispers? :'''Stewart:''' No, it is not fair to say that. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' In fact, because you disapprove and ''condemn'' these practices, are they not more covert and more hidden and more secret than ever before? :'''Stewart:''' I think that is-is also an unreasonable assertion. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' In spite of your desire to create a political Pompidou Centre, Mr. Pearson, haven't you created the opposite, [[wikipedia:Centre_Point|Centre Point]]? I mean, everybody sees it looming over them but nobody has the faintest idea what happens in there. :'''Stewart:''' ''(calmly, but sarcastically)'' I think there's some kind of club on the top floor. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So, Mr. Pearson, have you identified the source of the leak of Mr. Tickel's records? :'''Stewart:''' No, no. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Have you ever leaked yourself? :'''Stewart:''' No. No, I was over that pre-Britpop. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Do you have any idea where the leak might have come from? :'''Stewart:''' Well, you know, if this was ''[[CSI: Miami]]'', I guess we'd be looking for the person who'd have most to gain from the leak being made public. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, despite your shirt, this isn't ''CSI: Miami''. Who do you think would benefit most from the leak? :'''Stewart:''' Well, I guess I'd be sending [[wikipedia:David_Caruso|David Caruso]] knocking on the door of Mr. Malcolm Tucker. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Malcolm Tucker takes his turn with the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Lord Goolding:''' Can I ask you, "How would you describe yourself?" :'''Malcolm:''' Uh, I'm, uh, a media strategist. :'''Lord Goolding:''' So you would be Stewart Pearson's opposite number? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, uh, I'd be Stewart Pearson's opposite in every possible way, I think. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You have a lot of control and power over your party, don't you? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(laughs slightly)'' I wish, yes. Uh, no. I think that that's been overstated. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So this reputation you have as an enforcer, that's completely misrepresenting you, is it? :'''Malcolm:''' It's baloney. Politicians who have to do things that they don't want to do, such as resign, uh...Because they've been caught with their fingers in the till, or, you know, with their knickers up a flagpole or whatever, they sometimes...It's very convenient for them to have a boogeyman. "Malcolm made me do it." Well, I didn't make them do it. These are people who just find themselves stuck in a room with one exit and I simply show them the door. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I've highlighted some quotes: The ''Guardian'': 'Malcolm Tucker has the physical demeanour and the political instincts of a ''Velociraptor''.<nowiki/>' :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, the ''Guardian'', the newspaper that hates newspapers. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''Telegraph''. :'''Malcolm:''' The ''Telegr-arse''. :'''Baroness Sureka'''<nowiki/>''':''' 'Tucker's writ runs through the lifeblood of Westminster like ''r''<nowiki/>''aw alcohol'', at once cleansing and<nowiki/> corroding.' The ''Times'': 'If you<nowiki/> make eye contact with Malcolm Tucker, you have spilled his pint.' The ''Spectator'': '[[wikipedia:Iago|Iago]] with a BlackBerry'; I mean, you're saying these quotes are, what, misguided? :'''Malcolm:''' The ''Spect-hater''. Erm, no, I'm saying that you are not – you're taking these out of context, you're not contextualising these. If you were to<nowiki/> put them into a perspective, if you were to place them into the landscape, you would see that there might be a lot of axes being ground here. I don't see the difference between what you have just done and a leak, by the way. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, the difference is that what I've just read out was not obtained illegally. :'''Malcolm:''' How do you know that? You don't know <nowiki/>what confidences have been breached in order to form these ''opinions'', for that is what they are. :'''Ba'''<nowiki/>'''roness Sureka:''' So you accept leaking as part and parcel of the political media machinery? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, I mean, if you didn't have leaking, the newspapers would just be full of long-lens bikini shots and adverts for sheds and offers to buy three pairs of trousers for a tenner, et cetera, it's just – it's the way it is. Big deal, no one dies. :'''Lord Goolding:''' One person ''did'' die, Mr. Tucker. :''(Malcolm simply gives a "so be it" look.)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Would you tell us how it works? :'''Malcolm:''' You know, you do me a favor, I do you a favor, yeah? :'''Lord Goolding:''' And what might you expect in return? :'''Malcolm:''' Anything. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' What? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, a [[wikipedia:Kit Kat|Kit Kat]], you might get -- I've had a Kit Kat. I've had a, uh, a big meal. :'''Simon Weir:''' Well, I mean, could you give us an example of what you mean? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(going through his notes)'' Um...Well, yes. I...This is the ''Daily Mirror.'' And I could get drummed out of the Magic Circle for showing you this. Anyway, this is the ''Daily Mirror'' about the "Quiet Batpeople", uh, policy of, uh, Mrs. Nicola Murray. ''(Malcolm shows the inquiry committee a picture of the "Quiet Batpeople" headline.)'' I was there that day. You can't see me, because I've been cropped out here. But this information here, I made sure that those notes were in that place, that they were available, and that the picture editor, uh, knew where to find them. :'''Simon Weir:''' Sorry, I'm just trying to...trying to get this clear. Was Mrs. Murray not the subject of huge derision as a result of this? :'''Malcolm:''' Uh, no, she was a subject of huge derision before this. :''(Chuckles emanate from the gallery.)'' :'''Simon Weir:''' You were trying to undermine the leader of your party? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(putting away the picture)'' I was... :'''Simon Weir:''' Would you, would you say you were a loyal man, Mr. Tucker? :'''Malcolm:''' I'm loyal, yes. I'm loyal to my party. And, uh, I feel that Mrs. Murray's policies were turning the party into -- I don't know if you've seen those calendars that have got pictures of dogs that are dressed up, and they've got little dresses and hats on. She was turning my party into that, she was humiliating my party. So I thought it was absolutely vital to focus the public's attention onto that. :'''Simon Weir:''' And yet you maintain that you had great -- I don't know, what, respect for Mrs. Murray as a person. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, she was a great laugh occasionally, great dancer, she's got terrific hair. She did a good job at DoSAC. A much better job than her successor, who, let's not forget, was playing on a slide when the news of Mr. Tickle's... :'''Simon Weir:''' Yeah, thank you. :'''Malcolm:''' ...death came out. :'''Simon Weir:''' Mr. Tucker, we're well-versed in the events surrounding the... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. :'''Simon Weir:''' ...the death of Mr. Tickel. ''(beat)'' So, tell me, the PFI email that, uh, led to the, to the resignation of Nicola Murray. Did you, did you engineer that? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(takes a long pause...)'' No. No. ''(beat)'' No I didn't. :'''Simon Weir:''' And, uh, the leaking of Mr. Tickel's health records? Do I mean, do I detect your hand in-in that, for instance? :'''Malcolm:''' No no no no. Look, politics is a war. And politicians, sometimes they lose idealogical limbs, right? They get media shrapnel right in the face. Sometimes they get a bullet right in the brain. Civilians, no. There is no way that I would ever attack a civilian, a real person, and especially not somebody with a history of mental illness. Because ''that'' sort of thing -- makes me queasy. :'''Simon Weir:''' So you're a "ethical" leaker, if you will? :'''Malcolm:''' I use leaking to show up corruption, to show up hypocrisy, to show up idiocy, and also the fourth horseman of the political apocalypse, duplicity. For instance: Fergus Williams. He's coming up next, right? :'''Simon Weir:''' Mmm-hmm. :'''Malcolm:''' This is a guy, he's a member of the junior party in this coalition, right? This guy has already opened a private channel to Dan Miller, the Leader of the Opposition. In order to talk about possibly setting up a coalition with him, because he knows very well that this coalition government that he is lumbered with is being torn to pieces like a bread stick at a picnic. :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(very upset)'' Mr. Tucker, you have just used this inquiry to commit a leak in front of us! :'''Malcolm:''' I have not committed a leak. Everybody in Westminster knows that these talks have taken place, everyone. You're supposed to be investigating this. You're supposed to be discovering this stuff. Now you cannot not know what I or anyone else tell you, right, you can't not know that. You cannot not know what you now know. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Mr. Tucker, are you familiar with the rules of association football? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I understand that if you're gonna have an affair, you'd better take precautions, like getting a superinjuction. :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(sternly)'' I ask you, because this is me giving you a yellow card. You are not to use this inquiry to score political points. :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, I'm, I apologize. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Fergus Williams takes his turn giving testimony in front of the inquiry.)'' :'''Matthew Hodge:''' ''(to Fergus)'' Did you see Mr. Malcolm Tucker's evidence earlier? :'''Fergus:''' Uh, yeah, I-Uh, uh, I saw it out of the, out of the corner of my eye. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Would you like me to read what he said about you? :'''Fergus:''' Uh, no, that's fine, that was the bit that I saw. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Embarrassing, I imagine? :'''Fergus:''' ''(emabarrassed, but gathering himself)'' Uh, no, not at all. It was, um, almost, uh, flattering, yeah...uh, to get, uh, to get "Tuckered." It's a, it's a rite of passage in-in-in, in politics. Happens to all of us. It's, you know, it's like when you're in a Russian jail, you get your face tattooed. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Mr. Tucker mentioned meetings between you and the Leader of the Opposition. Did these take place? :'''Fergus:''' ''(after a pause)'' They did, yes. Er, myself and, uh, Adam were part of a team who had very general, noncommittal discussions with, amongst others, Mr. Miller. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' And you discussed a potential future coalition with his party and the removal of your own party leader, is that correct? :'''Fergus:''' ''(taken aback)'' Sorry, could I possibly answer that question with another question? I mean, not that question I'm just asking, but a further question? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Go on. :'''Fergus:''' You do realise that ''you're'' being spun here, you do see that? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Spun? :'''Fergus:''' 'Cause, you know, Malcolm Tucker's not your common or garden spin doctor, right? No, he's the-he's...he's the chief medical officer of spin – he is Spinoza, you see? So he, he didn't come here in order to answer your questions, he came here in order to get ''you'' to then ask ''his'' questions. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Yeah, right, Mr. Williams, I don't want you to answer a question with another question, I want you to answer it with an answer. :'''Fergus:''' I mean, he's conducting you like, um – Goldie. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Did you talk to Mr. Miller about removing your party leader? :'''Fergus:''' ''(in disbelief)'' Sorry, are you getting Tucker's questions sort of beamed straight into your brain? :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(firmly)'' Mr. Williams. :''(A short time later...)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Finally, um, on the subject of frustration, would you say it's difficult to steer policy ideas through your department? :'''Fergus:''' ''(stumbling in his testimony)'' Uh, yes, there are, uh...blockages. Uh, there is one person in particular and, well, you know, I don't want to identify her -- or him, if she was a man. Uh, but this particular person, uh, is rather inept and has hampered a lot of our initiatives. And she, or her, or him is, um...very difficult to remove. And so she's a, he is a...they are a stubborn blockage, shall we say, like, you know, when you get hair and soap in a-in a-in a plughole with skin flakes. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(reassuring)'' Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Williams. That's, that's fine. :'''Fergus:''' Sorry, can I just say... :'''Lord Goolding:''' We are very pressed for time, I'm afraid. :'''Fergus:''' Yeah, but I really didn't want the last thing I said... :'''Lord Goolding:''' I'm sorry. :'''Fergus:''' ...to be "skin flakes." :'''Lord Goolding:''' Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Peter Mannion is discussing Douglas Tickel with the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, when did you first become aware of, uh, Mr. Tickel? :'''Peter:''' When he became the only, um, key worker to refuse our offer of alternative accommodation. Uh, then he sort of dropped off my radar. The next thing I knew he was sewing badges on his tent, and, uh, shouting abuse through a loud hailer. :'''Simon Weir:''' Did you ever feel yourself to be culpable in any way for his, for his homelessness? :'''Peter:''' Look, he-he was homeless only in the sense that he had no home, erm – ''(There are chuckles from the gallery. Peter briefly turns round to them.)'' No, no, a [[wikipedia:Housing_association|Housing Association]] flat was found, which he-he declined. The ''policy'' didn't make him homeless. :'''Lord Goolding:''' The policy of selling off the block of flats where he lived. :'''Peter:''' He made a positive decision to be homeless. It's the difference between being punched in the face and punching yourself in the face. :'''Simon Weir:''' Erm – Why do you think, to use your phrase, he, uh, he punched himself in the face? :'''Peter:''' ''(stammering)'' Why? Well, because he was mentally, er – because he, he, he had, er, mental issues. :'''Simon Weir:''' The email leaked to ''The Guardian,'' uh, which you'll find on pages, uh, 276 to 277 in the-in the evidence...uh, one of your advisers describes Mr. Tickel as, um, "fucking [[wikipedia:Florence Nightingale|Florence Shiteingale]]." Do you not feel that's, uh, a little callous? :'''Peter:''' (dismissively)'' This is-this is, er, rough-and-tumble office banter, er, schoolboy showers stuff. And-and-and schoolgirl showers. Not that -- I mean, not-not literally, but... :''(A few moments later...)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Are you familiar with the phrase "data smuggling"? :'''Peter:''' Data what? :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, passing on data from a closed system to an unauthorised source in exchange for money. :'''Peter:''' Oh, yes, right. I see, well it seems everyone's at it. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Are you at it, Mr. Mannion? :'''Peter:''' ''(scoffing)'' No, I'm-I'm-I'm not very good with technology. Uh, the Paper Mate pen is still cutting edge technology as far as I'm concerned. Writes upside-down, you know. :''(Matthew Hodge wants to discuss Douglas Tickel's death with Peter.)'' :'''Matthew Hodge:''' You've told the inquiry that you didn't feel, uh, at all guilty over Mr. Tickel's death. :'''Peter:''' ''(getting defensive)'' Well, I-I-I felt ''bad.'' But-but not ''guilty.'' I-I didn't kill him. I-I've never killed anyone. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Well, no. I mean, noted, but I mean, do you think you could have made a difference, uh, if you had been contactable that day? :'''Peter:''' Why?

'Mr. Tucker threatened to remove Mr. Reeder's appendix, throw away Mr. Reeder, and appoint the useless flap of colon as special adviser.' :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. Well that's – yes.

So in this circumstance, if you inadvertently say or do something, um, uh, you know, that you shouldn't, then that's it. That's it, that's it. It's done. Your career is done.

That must have been extremely distressing. :'''Glenn:''' Uh, no, not at all, as a matter of fact. I-I was very invigorated by the idea of, uh, trying to forge a new way in politics. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Mmm-hmm, so all was rosy? :'''Glenn:''' Well, um -- I can't think of any negatives. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' No friction? :'''Glenn:''' No, the only "F" word was "Fun." :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Thank you, Mr. Cullen. Thank you. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, Mr. Cullen, would you say there's a culture of leaking in the government? :'''Glenn:''' Yes, I would. Yes, leaking and lying. :'''Simon Weir:''' To your knowledge, have any of your colleagues lied to this inquiry? :'''Glenn:''' Well, I mean, that's a bit like asking, you know, um -- "Does a cow drink milk?" :'''Simon Weir:''' Does it? :'''Glenn:''' Probably. But what I meant to say was, yes, um, my colleagues lie constantly. It's a...professional necessity. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Have you ever leaked, Mr. Cullen? :'''Glenn:''' First of all, may I just say, uh, welcome back, Baroness Sureka. Big hugs. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we're all thinking of you... :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I'd rather you, um, swapped the ham-fisted flattery for actually answering my question, which was, "Have you ever leaked?" :'''Glenn:''' Right. No, it's a very simple question and it's got a very simple answer. No, I haven't. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Um, you'll be aware of Ollie Reeder's testimony to the inquiry where he said that, uh, you were, in fact, responsible for the PFI leak. :'''Glenn:''' Yes I am. ''(Glenn quickly corrects himself.)'' By which I mean to say I am aware of, of that. But gosh, you've got to be careful what you say here, haven't you? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' You most certainly do, Mr. Cullen. Let's hope we're both up to it. Is there any truth at all to Mr. Reeder's accusations? :'''Glenn:''' Absolutely none whatsoever. He's talking out of hi -- Out of his other cheeks, if you... :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Why would Oliver Reeder suggest that you were behind the PFI email leak, then? :'''Glenn:''' I've absolutely no idea. It's very difficult for me to get into the mindset of somebody so entirely self-serving and, um...spiritually ugly. I mean, anyone who's been unfortunate enough to have come across Ollie Reeder will know that he is a genuinely...atrocious person. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Do you believe Mr. Reeder was trying to cover himself, in that case? :'''Glenn:''' Well, I do believe he has the emotional tools for the task. Yes, certainly. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Do you believe that Ollie Reeder was behind the leak? :'''Glenn:''' ''(after a long pause...)'' No. You see...a-a leak of this magnitude would require one essential item that Ollie lacks. And that's a spine. He is a man without a spine. He is a man-worm. He's a writhing mollusk without any strategies or convictions. He-he simply slimes his way into the nearest crack every night, and I would like to put on record that I apologize to this committee for being the man who brought him into the world of politics. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lord Goolding:''' Thank you for returning to this inquiry, Mr. Tucker. :'''Malcolm:''' That's no problem.

I'm amazed you stayed at the top of politics for quite so long with such apparently poor powers of recall. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, maybe it's my age – it's good to see you back, by the way. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(sarcastically)'' Thank you, nice to see you too. :'''Lord Goolding:''' At your last appearance at this inquiry, you admitted that you have leaked, is that correct? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, everyone leaks: many many people who have appeared here in front of you have leaked, but they've just lied about it to you. :'''Simon Weir:''' Mr. Tucker, that's an incredibly serious charge; do you have any evidence to substantiate that allegation? :'''Malcolm:''' Will you forgive me if I don't do your job for you? Because if you can't spot a sprayed-on halo of someone doing a "what, me guv?" panto act, then maybe you shouldn't be sitting behind that desk. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' At your last appearance we asked you very specifically how you came by Mr. Tickel's NHS number and National Insurance number, and you could not recall. Have you had any more time to think about it? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, I have. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' And could you tell us any more? :'''Malcolm:''' No. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You've got no recollection at all? :'''Malcolm:''' No. And by the way, you should not be talking to me about this because you've been a victim of leaking, a very unfortunate victim, and I have every sympathy with you, but how can you possibly give me a fair hearing when you've been a victim of the very crime that you are accusing me of? You are prejudiced; this entire inquiry, therefore, is prejudiced. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I can see what you're doing, it smacks of desperation and it will not work. :'''Malcolm:''' Does it? No, listen, there you go again, see, that's you, you're just rushing to judgement. You are totally discredited here. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I am obliged to remind you, Mr. Tucker, that you are under oath, and if you lie to this inquiry, it may result in a criminal prosecution. :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, please don't insult my intelligence by acting as if you're all so naive that you don't know how this all works. Everybody in this room has bent the rules to get in here, because you don't get in this room without bending the rules. You don't get to where ''you'' are without bending the rules, that's the way it is. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Mr. Tucker, I am going to give you one more chance to respond to my question. How did you acquire Mr. Tickel's NHS number and his National Insurance number? :'''Malcolm:''' Who said I acquired it? :'''Baroness Sureka:''' A photograph. :'''Malcolm:''' No no, the photograph shows me holding it. It doesn't show me acquiring it. You'd have to ask the person that gave me the folder. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Who gave you the folder? :'''Malcolm:''' I don't remember. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You are being deliberately evasive. :'''Malcolm:''' ... I – I don't recall, you know, I don't know, I can't remember. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Very well. Regardless of how you came by Mr. Tickel's mental health records, did you then leak them to the media? :'''Malcolm:''' I can't recall. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So that's not a denial? :'''Malcolm:''' ''Je ne remember rien.'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, if you can't recall, it leaves open the possibility that you did leak them. :'''Malcolm:''' Let me tell you this. The whole planet's leaking, everybody is leaking! You know? Everyone's spewing up their guts onto the internet, putting up their relationship status and photos of their [[wikipedia:Vajazzle|vajazzles]]! We've come to a point where there are people, ''millions'' of people, who are quite happy to trade a kidney in order to go on television! And to show people their knickers, to show people their skid marks, and then complain to ''[[wikipedia:OK!|OK!]]'' magazine about a breach of privacy! The exchange of private information – that is what drives our economy. But, you come after me because you can't arrest a landmass, can you? You can't cuff a country. You might as well just go and – you can't lynch that guy there, can you? But you decide that you can sit there, you can judge and you can ogle me like a [[wikipedia:Page_3|Page 3]] girl. You don't like it? Well, you don't like yourself. You don't like your species, and you know what? Neither do I, but how ''dare'' you come and lay this at my door! How ''dare'' you blame ME -- for THIS! Which is the result of a political class, which has given up on morality and simply pursues popularity at all costs. I am you and you are me. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Are you finished? :'''Malcolm:''' Ah, I'm finished anyway.

But I'm going to Brentford where nobody will be watching me, because they'll all be with him. :'''Ollie:''' So, the Leader of the Opposition is going to be filmed at a police station at the exact moment that his Head of Communications is being arrested. Yes, okay, great, great, so that's a sack full of face-chewing rats, thank you very much. :'''Malcolm:''' Look, it's – This is what you have to deal with, right? It's just another day at the fuck office. :'''Ollie:''' So now I have to step into your shoes, but ''after'' you've shat in them. :'''Malcolm:''' Ollie, look at me! I'm not pulling anything out of a magic hat. The rabbits are falling to pieces, their fucking heads are coming off and frightening the kids. So somebody else is going to have to help out. :'''Ollie:''' Well, who says I even want to be you, Malcolm? Who says that? :'''Malcolm:''' Nobody says that. Except every screaming atom of that etiolated stick of fuck you call a body says that. Every fibre of your being, every stamen...says that. But you are not me, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' No. :'''Malcolm:''' And you never will be me. I knew Malcolm F. Tucker, sir...and you are no Malcolm Fucking Tucker. You're not even fucking Manchester's top Malcolm Tucker tribute band. And trying to be me? ''You?!'' Trying to be me will fucking kill you. I give you 18 months before you're a washed out, weeping, alcoholic. With no fucking bladder control. Sleeping on your brother-in-law's sofa. :'''Ollie:''' And so on, and so on.

Yeah, and you probably haven't noticed because you've been on transmit for the last fucking eight years: "Wah wah wah wah wah!" And whilst you've been doing that, everybody else has been changing, and it's all a bit softcore now, it's all about algorithms now.

This is a fucking husk! I am a fucking host for this fucking job! Do you want this job? :'''Ollie:''' ... Yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes! You ''do'' fucking want this job! Then you're gonna have to fucking swallow this whole fucking life and let it grow inside you like a parasite, getting bigger and bigger and bigger until it fucking eats your insides alive and it stares out of your eyes and tells you what to do! :'''Ollie:''' Malcolm, this sounds like the fucking video you leave on YouTube after you've blown your brains out! :'''Malcolm:''' I'm as dead as fucking [[wikipedia:Two-tone_(music_genre)|two-tone]].

Political exit. :'''Ollie:''' No, I know. :'''Malcolm:''' I'm gonna leave the stage with my head held fucking high, right? What you're going to see is a masterclass in fucking dignity, son.

Sorry, Cliff. :'''Cliff:''' Minister. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, get used to Cliff. I've booked you in for the usual soapy tit-wank farewell at Number 10, in 20 minutes. Also drafted you a letter of resignation: gives you the chance to say that you're jumping before you're pushed, although obviously we're gonna be briefing that you ''were'' pushed, sorry. :'''Cliff:''' Um...Look, tell you what. You don't need to do all of this. What about Tom? Everybody knows he's fucking up Transport. :'''Malcolm:''' We can't sack Tom at Transport. We can't lose anyone at Transport, they're important. :'''Cliff:''' What? And Social Affairs isn't? :'''Malcolm:''' OK, the Department of Social for Commercial Affairs is very important, but it's not Transport. Transport's cars, buses, trucks. :'''Cliff:''' I KNOW WHAT TRANSPORT FUCKING ENTAILS! :''(Malcolm gives Cliff his infamous "bollocking stare.")'' :'''Cliff:''' Look, look...Look.

What, like, um...shooting up in the Cabinet Office or something? Stuffing a cat up my arse and having a wank? What do you mean, scope? :'''Malcolm:''' You know, this could be a great deal worse. You have had a good innings. You have been here for 18 months. And you know, I have written some very nice things about you in the PM's reply to your resignation. Some very nice fucking things indeed. I had a lump in my throat. And you know why? Because no one who matters thinks any less of you over this...so far. OK? Right. One more thing: ''[[wikipedia:The Daily Mail|The Daily Mail]]''. David Topham has got it into his head that we are going to sack you because of press pressure. :'''Cliff:''' I wonder why. :'''Malcolm:''' Look. You're in no position to dish out fucking sarcasm. That's over. You no longer have purchase in the sarcasm world. Get on the phone. Tell him you're jumping before you're pushed -- although we were going to push you, but not because of press pressure, but because of your deeply held fucking personal issues, whatever they were. :'''Cliff:''' You want me to write my own obituary! :'''Malcolm:''' Get on the fucking phone.

I've got something very important to say. I've got -- Ollie, I've got something for us. I've got us a very, very tasty little morsel. Because this morning I had a chat with my very good friend, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. (Glenn, Ollie, and Terri are very interested.) Yes. And, um, remember the, um, um -- Ollie, your Benefit Unit Fraud... :'''Ollie Reeder:''' Anti-Benefit Fraud Executive. ABFE. :'''Hugh:''' ABFE. Um, Scrounger Squad. :'''Ollie:''' Snooper Squad. :'''Hugh:''' ''(correcting himself)'' Snooper Squad. :'''Terri Coverley:''' The one with the spending implications? :'''Hugh:''' Yes, and the Prime Minister's view, it turns out, is very much, "Fuck the spending implications, I like it." :'''Glenn Cullen:''' Good. :'''Hugh:''' So this is us. We're on the map. It's a chance for me, Glenn, to get on Richard & Judy and plant that flag right on their fucking sofa. :'''Terri:''' So the, um, the Prime Minister's authorized you -- he ''has'' authorized you to announce it, has he? :'''Hugh:''' That's very much what he signaled, yes, very clearly. He said that he's very much right behind us on this and it's very much what we should be doing. :'''Ollie:''' This is great. So we can do it this afternoon at the school, can't we? We can, uh, we can clear the press conference that we've got... :'''Terri:''' ''(getting up to leave)'' Excuse me. :'''Glenn:''' Yeah. We'll "double-bubble" it, yeah? We'll leak it to the Standard for the early editions and then trail it on the World at One. Yes? Right. I'll tell you, we, we need someone at the Standard we can give this to. What about Angela Heaney? She's at the Standard now, isn't she? Hugh? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Glenn:''' Ollie? :'''Ollie:''' Um...yes, she is. Do you not think that maybe she's a bit junior, I think. :'''Glenn:''' Bit too much like your ex who broke your heart and then dumped you with a text message? :'''Ollie:''' It was a fucking e-mail. It wasn't a text message. :'''Glenn:''' We give it to her, she'll write what we want. :'''Hugh:''' She's easy. :'''Glenn:''' She is easy. :''(Terri returns to the office, trying to tell the guys to control their excitement over the Snooper Squad policy.)'' :'''Terri:''' Uh, one moment. I can see that you've all got very big, stiff hard-ons for this one -- :'''Hugh:''' Sorry? :'''Terri:''' That's -- that is nice. I'm not saying that's not nice. But... :'''Hugh:''' ''(surprised)'' Terri! :'''Terri:''' But there is absolutely no way we're gonna clear it by this afternoon. So... :'''Ollie:''' Why not? :'''Terri:''' Do cool it, just for a minute, and I'll ring Paul at the Treasury. :'''Hugh, Glenn, and Ollie:''' NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! :'''Hugh:''' No phone calls to the Treasury, thank you. :'''Ollie:''' If you call the Treasury to get anywhere near the announcement, he's gonna have to dress up as catering with a big tray of drinks and a pot of sliced lemons. :'''Hugh:''' I'm not doing that. :'''Terri:''' I'm just going by procedure. :'''Hugh:''' Terri, I love doing things the right way, that ethical stuff. I, I-I love it, I mean, we all, we all do. But -- but, you know, it's very difficult when you're the first person to put your gun down, because people tend to jump on your head as if it was a ripe watermelon. We don't want that, do we? :'''Ollie:''' The Prime Minister said he wants to do it. The Prime Minister is above the Treasury in the hierarchy. I can write it down on a chart if it actually helps. :'''Terri:''' Whatever. :'''Glenn:''' Thank you. :'''Terri:''' Very good, Minister. I'll get to it. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Terri)'' You're just doing your job.

Thank you. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' The driver. :'''Ollie:''' ''(answering Glenn's question, despondently)'' Technically. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' Will it be my usual driver? :'''Glenn:''' Yes, Hugh. :'''Hugh:''' I don't fucking like him. :'''Glenn:''' Why not? :'''Hugh:''' He's...I don't know.

'Should' does not mean 'yes'. Now, there's only one thing to do here, and it's what I'm going to tell you to do. Kill it. :'''Hugh:''' I can't -- I can't kill it!

You've got a bigger story here than you have chasing your tinsel. :'''Hugh:''' Which is you live in a country which is properly...There's not many countries can say that. :'''Glenn:''' And we've probably got 10,000,000 we can throw at it. :'''Hugh:''' That's good, because it sounds like a lot, doesn't it. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh, Glenn and Ollie are at the school, preparing for Hugh's big speech.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I've got a thing here that says "springy concrete."

''(asking Glenn and Ollie)'' Real families or real people? :'''Glenn:''' Families. :'''Ollie:''' People. Real people. :'''Glenn:''' You see? Don't...Families. :'''Ollie:''' Families sounds exclusive. It sounds kinda back to basics, it sounds [[wikipedia:John Major|John Major]]. :'''Glenn:''' People sounds Communist. :'''Ollie:''' It doesn't sound Communist. :'''Hugh:''' I'll say families. :'''Glenn:''' Thank you, Hugh. :'''Ollie:''' Say families of people. :''(A schools-woman approaches the room.)'' :'''Schools-woman:''' Mr. Abbot. :'''Glenn:''' Great.

Bollocks, we'll get rid of that. :'''Glenn:''' Aw, for fuck's sake, yeah. Fiddling while Rome burns. :'''Hugh:''' Fucking right. We'll kick some arse. We'll kick some butt! Kick some butt! :'''Glenn:''' That's what we're in it for, mate, tell them all the shit that we do. :''(Glenn sees Malcolm standing behind Hugh, but Hugh is blissfully unaware.)'' :'''Hugh:''' It's a means to an end, mate. :''(Hugh then sees Malcolm right behind him.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Fuck me, Malcolm.

It-it's killed. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but once you start the fire...And we didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning, et cetera, et cetera. :'''Hugh:''' Sorry, Malcolm, you're not making any sense. :'''Malcolm:''' Prime Minister, obviously, he's on the plane in Stockholm, and somebody hits him with ''The World At One.'' He thinks it's the Treasury trying to stiff him one, so he, um... he stuck with the story. :'''Hugh:''' He liked it? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, he's backing the Snooper Force. :'''Hugh:''' ''(smiling)'' Oh, right. We shouldn't really then have, I mean, you shouldn't really have told us to, uh...Should you? ''(chuckles)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Don't should me, Hugh. Cos I'll should you right back. I'll should you right through that window. None of this SHOULD be happening, should it? SHOULD it? Should it? :'''Hugh:''' Is that should in the...sense of yes, or...? :'''Malcolm:''' It's should in the sense of "You should do as you're fucking told." :'''Hugh:''' What are we gonna do now? :'''Malcolm:''' You're gonna completely reverse your position. :'''Hugh:''' Hang on a second. Malcolm, it's not actually that, um – I mean, that's gonna be quite hard, really. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, well the announcement that you didn't make today, you did. :'''Hugh:''' No, no, I didn't, ''and'' there were television cameras there while I was not doing it. :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck them! :'''Hugh:''' I'm not quite sure h– what level of reality I'm supposed to be operating on. :'''Malcolm:''' Look, this is what they run with. I tell them that you said it, they believe that you said it. They don't really believe you said it, they know that you never said it. :'''Hugh:''' Right. :'''Malcolm:''' But it's in their interests to say that you said it. Because if they don't say that you said it, they're not gonna get what you say tomorrow or the next day, when I decide to tell them what it is you're saying. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I-I am following this. I just... :'''Malcolm:''' I had a friend who used to indulge in extramarital affairs, OK? He would go off and he'd have some dalliance, and every Monday he'd come back and he'd meet his wife. And he told me that all he did was inside his head turn a little switch. The affair never happened. OK? :'''Hugh:''' Right. :'''Malcolm:''' There's not a prob -- I don't -- What is the problem with this? :'''Hugh:''' The problem with it...First of all, I didn't get much dalliance. :'''Malcolm:''' Get it into your head. Rewind today into your head. :'''Hugh:''' OK, stop explaining it to me! :'''Malcolm:''' I have to fucking explain it to you, man. You haven't been here long enough. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Ollie is in an office arguing with his ex-girlfriend, Angela Heaney...who's also a news journalist.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I'm really glad you came in, Angela. :'''Angela Heaney:''' Well, I could lose my job, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah... :'''Angela:''' Because I went all hot and heavy to the news desk with three directly contradictory stories in one day. :'''Ollie:''' I know, :'''Angela:''' They gave me flip-flops. You know? Someone actually went out and bought me flip-flops to give me. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. You've gotta give them credit for that, that is quite funny. :'''Angela:''' Yeah. And they pasted onto them...a fucking porn picture of a girl sucking a big cock and they wrote, "Angela Heaney swallows anything." :'''Ollie:''' That is less funny. Obviously, that's actually quite offensive. :'''Angela:''' Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't do a big story on the, you know, the day of spin? :'''Ollie:''' Wh-Why? What sort of story? ''(Ollie starts stammering and struggling to defend himself...)'' :'''Angela:''' Inside story of a government department out of control. With diagrams and maybe a flow chart with your face and name on it. And Glenn's and Hugh's and big arrows showing who spoke to who and how you all fucked it up. Yeah, I think I could write that one up myself, Ollie. I think I could do the punctuation on ''that'' one. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, I'm sorry. :''(Suddenly, Malcolm comes into the office.)'' :'''Malcolm''': Hey. Hi, Angela. Oh, I like the hair, nice little corkscrews. How's it going? :'''Ollie''': Yeah, er, fine. Um, we were just, er, talking about why Angela shouldn't do a big story on the big insidery piece, kinda day of spin, sort of spread in the paper... :'''Malcolm''': Oh, I don't know. Maybe you should! Good idea! :''(Malcolm leaves -- then comes back.)'' :'''Malcolm''': Oh, wait a minute. I know why she shouldn't. Because, you know, if she did that, she'd be dead. To me, to this department, to the government. And she'll never get another story, or even a fucking whiff of a story as long as she kept her sorry, hack bitch face lingering around Westminster, because I would call every editor I know - which, obviously, that's all of them - and I'd tell them to gouge her name out of their address books so she'd never even get a job on hospital radio ''where the sad sack belongs.'' That's what I'd tell her. ''(to Ollie)'' But maybe you should do it. See you later. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. ''(to Angela)'' He's actually...He can be really nice. It's been a very long day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' I want a new driver. Get me a new driver. I don't want to see this guy ever again. :'''Glenn:''' On what grounds? :'''Hugh:''' Smiling.

Can't we devolve some of it? If I could get just one decent night's shut-eye... :'''Glenn:''' Well, Hugh, do yourself a favor. Stay over in the flat. :'''Hugh:''' I can't break my promise to Kate. :'''Glenn:''' I mean, do you actually get to see the children? :'''Hugh:''' Glenn, I don't have time for that. All I do... I work, I eat, I shower. That's it. Occasionally... I take a dump, just as a sort of treat. I mean, that really is my treat. That's what it's come to. I sit there and I think, "No, I'm not going to read the [[wikipedia:New_Statesman|''New Statesman'']]. This time is just for me. This is quality time just for me."

That's not very good, is it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' So, how do we respond to this? :'''Terri:''' Right, we don't exchange insults with bloody Simon arsepipes titty-twat. :'''Ollie:''' Is that honestly the best swearing that you can come up with? :'''Glenn:''' This is a bucket of shit: if someone throws shit at us, we throw shit back at them, we start a shit fight. We throw so much shit back at them that they can't pick up shit, they can't throw shit, they can't do shit. :'''Terri:''' Mm. :'''Hugh:''' That's top swearing, Glenn, well done. :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Terri)'' Watch and learn. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' ''(thinking of policy ideas)'' Shut up for a minute, please.

He and Hewitt are as tight as arse cheeks. :'''Hugh:''' Are they now? :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck knows, but that's what we're saying, OK?

It's useless to ask people's opinions before we formulate a policy? It's useless?! :'''Glenn''': Look, there's no point in asking people what they think.

I'm Malcolm. We've spoken on the phone. :'''Mark Davies:''' Yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Do you mind if I pop in? It's just -- I was in seeing Pam. and everyone started talking about the Hugh thing. :'''Mark:''' Yes... :''(Mark nods his head in agreement with Malcolm as they look at the footage.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Do you see what I have to work with? :'''Mark:''' I know, Malcolm. He doesn't look great, does he? :''(As they continue looking at the footage, Malcolm starts to attempt to play director.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Mark's assistant)'' That shot, are you going to use that? :'''Mark:''' Malcolm. :''(Mark doesn't want Malcolm touching the equipment.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, sorry. :'''Mark:''' Don't touch that. :'''Malcolm:''' This isn't in the package, is it, Mark? :''(Sure enough, Malcolm's inner director starts channeling inside him again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Mark's assistant)'' You're not using that. You can't use that. ''(to Mark)'' This is dumbing down of the news agenda that people like me and your boss's boss really object to. And I'm gonna mention this to him when I see him on Friday, by the way. :'''Mark:''' Malcolm, this is a traditional old-fashioned news story, called 'Minister looks a tit'. :'''Malcolm:''' Hey, everybody looks a tit, you know? Take two of these shots of him looking moronic out. Leave a couple in of him looking a little bit dim, put one of him composed, drop it down the running order, and we've got a deal. :'''Mark:''' I'm not – Deal, what deal, Malcolm? He looks a tit, that's it. I'm sorry. :'''Malcolm:''' But there is a difference between allowing someone's natural tittishness to come through, and just exploiting it through camera work here! You're sticking one tit moment on top of another tit moment. That wouldn't happen in real life. And do you know about that woman? Have you made any inquiries into the background of that woman? :'''Mark:''' I'm sure my researchers have, yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes. Your researchers have? Well, well, I'm gonna tell you I don't think they have. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Stats, percentages, international comparison, information! Email them fucking WADS of information!

COME ON, UNLEASH HELL! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' Sometimes I...You know, when you meet the real...the actual people...Don't you ever, I mean, just look at the little, beady eyes and mean mouths sort of sneering, and...I mean, I know this is what they think people like me think, so I hate thinking it, but I just find myself thinking they're from a different fucking species. You know, with their T-shirts and weird trousers and tabards. Why do they wear clothes with writing on them?

They're 50/50 on bumping Hugh up to top of the bill with the Piss Woman, right? Can you sort that out for me? ''(Ollie agrees)'' Good lad. Okay, see you later. :'''Ollie:''' ''(seeing a bag of chips from a bin on his chair)'' Oh nice, very nice. :'''Jamie:''' WELL GO FOR FUCK'S SAKE, YOU BIG FUCKING PRICK!

Would you like that? :'''Ollie:''' No, no – :'''Malcolm:''' You and Jamie and a rubber truncheon, locked in that fucking newsroom together. :'''Ollie:''' No, I'm fine. :'''Malcolm:''' Then make me happy.

Well done, and bye bye. :'''Factory Woman:''' ''(in a voicemail)'' Hello, Ollie. Just seen myself on the news. Okay, let's get something done now.

I never found them on my desk. Maybe somebody stole them. Or, maybe, maybe, you're fucking me around. And if you fuck me around again, I'll tell you something: ''(laughs slightly)'' I am going to rip your fucking head off, and shit right down into your neck, ''(grabs Frankie's head)'' and then I'm going to stick your FUCKING head back on, and SHIT ON THAT! ==Series 2, Episode 2== :''(At the start of this episode, Hugh is talking on his cell phone to someone about the impending "Cabinet Reshuffle.")'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(on his cell phone)'' No, Derek.

Always best to be inside the tent, pissing out. :'''Ollie:''' Absolutely. If you were, you know, doing this over at Environment and Rural Affairs, you'd be, uh, at 8:30 you'd be very much outside the tent, wouldn't you? Probably at Coffee Republic. :'''Hugh:''' Covered in piss. Good luck. You'll be fine. You don't need good luck. Yeah. :'''Robyn:''' What about the...piss? :'''Hugh:''' ''(reassuring Robyn)'' No no no, it's just a figure of speech. :'''Robyn:''' I'd better go. :'''Ollie:''' See you later, Robyn. :'''Robyn:''' OK. :'''Ollie:''' ''(looking at his cell phone)'' I'm sure there's a way of... :'''Hugh:''' ''(chasing after Robyn)'' Robyn! :''(Hugh just remembered to ask Robyn a question.)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(whispering to Robyn)'' Robyn, sorry.

I'll box his ears. :''(Robyn leaves)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' Box his ears? If that was flirting, that was absolutely crap. :'''Glenn:''' What? :'''Hugh:''' Box his ears? How long is it since you've had sex? :'''Glenn:''' That is between me and my internet service provider. Anyway, about this morning's – :'''Ollie:''' ''(chuckling)'' You've actually gone red, Glenn. Look at you. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, you have. Look, you've gone red. :'''Glenn:''' I have not gone red.

There seems to have been a bit of a problem last night with, uh, Liam on ''Newsnight.'' I would like to know why did we have a Minister on last night who did not appear to know their lines. :'''Reporter #1:''' It's not all his fault, Malcolm. We-we grilled him beforehand. :'''Malcolm:''' You grilled him? :'''Reporter #1:''' He's got a new baby. He's not getting enough sleep. :'''Malcolm:''' I don't care if he's got a new baby. I don't care whether he's tired. He looked like he didn't know what he was fucking talking about. Now I know he doesn't know what he's fucking talking about, but he's got to appear as if he does, right? ''(Malcolm starts pointing at all the reporters.)'' And that is your job and your job. ''(He continues pointing.)'' And yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours. With all due respect of ministers, give them the lines. Right? :'''Robyn:''' Give them all the lines to say? :''(Malcolm introduces the other reporters to Robyn.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' This is the delightful Robyn. She's just with us today. She's standing in for, eh, Terri Coverley at the Department of, uh, Social Affairs. So let's be gentle with her, please. No remarks about the Department of Stuffed Anuses, or the Department of Stupid Announcements, or the Department of Sod All. ''(Laughter emanates from the room.)'' Right, next. :'''Robyn:''' Reshuffle? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Robyn, smiling)'' Yes, there is, uh, a pending reshuffle, I can see we're not gonna get anything past you! "There was a young girl from DOSA, who helped herself to a samosa." ''(Malcolm jokingly makes a karate chop.)'' Argh! Next time I'll come up with something. Just a bit of fun. Um...Yes, the reshuffle. No, yes, well, definitely, we-we don't know anything. ''I'' don't know anything. So, um, we can't say anything. But you know, even if we did, we wouldn't. But we don't, so we both can't and won't. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' ''(asked for a line about Julius Nicholson at his 8.30 meeting)'' 'Julius Nicholson is a hugely respected adviser. He now has a wide-ranging brief, and his blue-sky vision and helicopter thinking will enable this Government to go, in his own phrase, "beyond delivery, and beyond that".' That's the line, OK? And if he does stick his baldy head round your door and comes up with some stupid idea about 'policemen's helmets should be yellow', or 'let's set up a department to count the moon', just treat him like someone with Alzheimer's disease, you know? Just say to him, "Oh, yeah, that's lovely, that's good. We must talk about that later." OK? <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh is now at Malcolm's office at Number 10. Hugh wants to talk to Malcolm about the impending reshuffle.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on his mobile)'' In no way, shape or form is it gonna have any ''(knock at door)'' – Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off. :'''Hugh:''' ''(entering)'' Well I'll come the fuck in then. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(back on his mobile)'' It's just something that Nicholson's flown, you know. It's a kind of brain exercise, like "What would it be like if men had tits?", you know? [[wikipedia:Mark_Mardell|Mark Mardell]], yeah, ''(laughs)'' that's pretty good, actually. All right, then. See you, then. ''(hangs up)'' Hugh? :'''Hugh:''' I thought you would want to know as soon as possible. :'''Malcolm:''' What? :'''Hugh:''' Terri's dad. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah? :'''Hugh:''' No news at the moment. :'''Malcolm:''' Right, so you've come to talk about the reshuffle, yeah? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I have. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah? :'''Hugh:''' In terms of shuffley stuff, how is Neil? I mean, is his heart... :'''Malcolm:''' Have you not heard? :'''Hugh:''' No. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(sighing heavily)'' He's paralysed. :'''Hugh:''' Oh no. :'''Malcolm:''' Neil's on wheels. :'''Hugh:''' You're kidding. :'''Malcolm:''' He's a vegetable. :'''Hugh:''' Oh my God. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. :''(A lengthy silence follows...and then...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That means you could have his department. :'''Hugh:''' Oh, you are kidding. Well, fuck you very much. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I know that you're looking for mouth-to-mouth in the reshuffle, but I don't know anything about it.

How about a ban on sand castles? :'''Julius:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' I just wanted to find out if you're coming to my FSG briefing this afternoon. :'''Malcolm:''' FSG briefing? :'''Julius:''' Forward Strategy Group, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, you know, Julius, I think I'm just gonna have to send one of the -- I'll send one of the boys. I have got so much work to do here, what with this, uh, the MOD... :'''Julius:''' As the minister said to the prince, don't be surprised if we abolish you. I'll leave it with you. :''(Julius gets up and leave the office. Malcolm and Hugh resume their conversation.)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' That was a bit, um...Are you all right? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(annoyed)'' I'm fucking all right. I can fucking look after myself. :'''Hugh:''' Under the spotlight now, aren't you? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, ''you'' should just watch your own back, what with the missus dripping poison into the big guy's ear about you. :'''Hugh:''' Missus? What missus? :'''Malcolm:''' The Prime Minister's missus. Oh, what? You don't know? She doesn't like the cut of your jib, son. :'''Hugh:''' She doesn't -- She's hardly ''seen'' my jib. I just had a conversation with her at the New Year's party, that's all. ''(beat)'' Why doesn't she like me? I mean, what's not to like? :'''Malcolm:''' I mean, you just didn't click. :'''Hugh:''' ''(exasperated)'' We couldn't click! We were talking about the fucking Euro! How are you supposed to click over the Euro? It's fucking impossible. :'''Malcolm:''' Don't take it so personally. :'''Hugh:''' You're telling me she doesn't like me as a person! How else am I supposed to take it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ollie:''' Robyn, can you send these back to archives, 'cause they're not even highlighted, I'm not going to plough through all that myself. While you're talking to them, I need the last four months of the European Digest. I'm going to be moving – :'''Robyn:''' Is it 'cause you fancy me, is that what this is all about? :'''Ollie:''' Sorry? :'''Robyn:''' Why are you so bloody rude to me? I mean, that's got to be the reason. Other people, when they come in here, they knock on the door and they say "hello", "good morning", "thank you" and "nice top" sometimes. :'''Ollie:''' Right, um, well, no. I mean, for a start, I don't fancy you. I don't know where you got that in your head, but it's probably best to get it out. If I'm slightly polite to you on a semi-regular basis, will that in any way bypass it? :'''Robyn:''' I think that would definitely do it. :'''Ollie:''' Right, fantastic. Well, thank you very much for the work you do; hi, by the way, how are you? :'''Robyn:''' I'm really well, actually. :'''Ollie:''' Great, that's great; you look lovely; can I have the fucking Digest, please? That would be terrific. :'''Robyn:''' All you had to do was ask me. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, well, all I did do is ask. ''(Robyn bends down to get something)'' Phwoar! ''(She gets up and stares at Ollie)'' It was a joke. <hr width="50%"/>'' :''(Hugh and Ollie are discussing the latest Cabinet meeting.)'' :'''Hugh:''' I did mention your great quiet carriages thing and he just – ''(pulls a slightly disgusted face)'' :'''Ollie:''' Well what does that mean? :'''Hugh:''' Fuck knows what it means, but I don't think it means, "Oh, Hugh, you're fantastic. Here, become Home Secretary". And even if it did mean that, when he's in bed tonight with Mrs PM, flossing, then she'll say, "What do you mean, Hugh Abbot as Home Secretary? The man is a social spastic and very probably a registered nonce, darling." <hr width="50%"/> :''(This scene starts with Malcolm on his desk phone in his office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on the phone)'' This is just another example of thinking out of the box by someone who's clearly out of his fucking tree. :''(Someone's knocking on Malcolm's door -- and that someone is Julius Nicholson. Again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on the phone)'' Alright, I've got to go. I'll talk to you later. :'''Julius:''' ''(entering the office)'' Ah, Malcolm Tucker! :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Julius)'' Julius Nicholson! What can I do you for? :''(Both men sit down in their chairs for a chat.)'' :'''Julius:''' I am keen to have a chat with, um, Keith Percival. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. Uh, that won't be possible. :'''Julius:''' And I need to read the O'Rourke papers. :'''Malcolm:''' I'm afraid not. Anything else? :''(Uh-oh...this is gonna be a long, uncomfortable conversation.)'' :'''Julius:''' Look, Malcolm, you and I both know full well that my power and authority flows directly from the PM. If you've got a problem... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, Keith is so busy with real governmental work that he doesn't have time to discuss with you your ideas and theories. The O'Rourke papers are not relevant to anything that we can actually action at this moment. :'''Julius:''' That's slightly funny, because when I played tennis with the PM -- which I do as I'm sure you know, every Sunday -- he was saying just how much he was looking forward to seeing that paper. :'''Malcolm:''' He does think that your theories are interesting. He tells me that, because, you know, I see him every day. I also see him on a Sunday when I get together with his family and I make the fucking waffles. ''BUT'' -- I cannot allow you to come in here and interfere with the actual process of government. :'''Julius:''' Malcolm, that is my -- that is my ''JOB!'' That's my job! :'''Malcolm:''' Well, you're doing it very fucking well. :'''Julius:''' Malcolm, I'm sorry. There are gonna be big changes around here. Get used to it. We'll announce all this at the reshuffle. :'''Malcolm:''' With all due respect, Julius, the reshuffle is the business of the PM and the PM alone, which means that that is my business. It is my remit. :'''Julius:''' No, Malcolm. Historically, yes. But now it's part of my remit. :'''Malcolm:''' Right. OK, I'll tell you what we should do. ''(getting up)'' Why don't we just get our remits out, slap them on the table, and see who's got the biggest fucking remit? :'''Julius:''' ''(standing up)'' Mal-Mal -- Malcolm, Malcolm, we need to talk about accommodation, we need to talk about access... :'''Malcolm:''' Accommodation? Why am I talking about accommodation? :'''Julius:''' It's a 21-man department. We can't fit upstairs. This is ideal. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(confused)'' 21 men in here? :'''Julius:''' Not just in here, no. This office here will be perfectly usable, for not only myself... :'''Malcolm:''' That's not an office. :'''Julius:''' Yes, it is an office. :'''Malcolm:''' It's a pantry. :'''Julius:''' Well, whatever it is, we will refit this out as a working office... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(opening the pantry door)'' Julius, it's a fucking pantry. Look. :'''Julius:''' So what? What we'll do is we will kick through this -- Bang, straight into the PM's private study. ''(Julius shuts the pantry door.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(talking while eating something)'' What are people gonna say -- when they come in and they say, "Where is Julius Nicholson?" :'''Julius:''' I'm here. :'''Malcolm:''' He's in the pantry! :'''Julius:''' ''(knocking on the pantry door)'' Here I am. :'''Malcolm:''' You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna ridicule you. :''(Malcolm and Julius are talking over each other, and then Malcolm cracks wise...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''Where's the bankrupt in the cupboard?'' :'''Julius:''' Why are you behaving like a complete and utter prick? :'''Malcolm:''' I'm supposed to polish you up, burnish you up. Yeah, and when you get your big break and you're on fucking ''Call My Bluff'' or whatever it is, I'm supposed to... :''(Malcolm sees Julius heading for the door to leave the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Come back in here! Oi! Come back in here! JULIUS! Get the fuck back in here! :''(Julius reluctantly comes back in Malcolm's office, and Julius tries to lecture Malcolm while he's talking.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Please! Please! Come back. Let's be civilised. Let's-let's be civilised about it. Let's be civilised, come on. Let's be -- there ''are'' human resources, let's be civilised about it. Go over to your fucking pantry, right. :'''Julius:''' This is a perfectly usable office space... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(shutting the pantry door)'' Cool it for one minute, okay? Cool it. And just fucking cool it, shut up and fucking listen to me. This is an old fucking Georgian door. Do you know how long this has been here? :'''Julius:''' No I don't. :'''Malcolm:''' Since the time of Elizabeth I, at least. Now look at that. :''(Julius laughs in utter disbelief.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That does not open. Look at it. Look at it. Try opening it. Come on. Surely, this is the kind of stuff you like. Character building, team building. Put your hand over mine. Try to open the door. Come on, Julius.

Edward II? :''(Julius walks in)'' :'''Ollie''': I'd like to nail him to a tree through the head and watch lice slowly crawl over his body, eating off the flesh in a slow and painful death, ''(having already noticed Julius)'' but that rather bitter anomaly aside, most of the responses to the Warwick report press cuttings were pretty positive. :<hr width="50%" />'''Hugh''' ''(to Ollie)'': I ''am'' desperate, but I don't really want to ''look'' desperate, like Glenn. :'''Glenn''' ''(entering)'': Oh, God, here we go again. Yeah, like Glenn, what? :'''Hugh:''' Well, I was just saying, the last time you saw a snatch was... :'''Ollie:''' ''[[wikipedia:Basic_Instinct|Basic Instinct]]''. :'''Hugh:''' You see, that's good. That's the kind of repartee I need with the PM's wife. It's that final k-tsssss! you see, that's the bit I'm missing. :'''Glenn:''' Yeah, well, I think you could drop the snatch material with the PM's wife, don't you? :'''Hugh:''' Well, OK, between the snatch and the Euro there's some sort of happy medium.<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(on the phone)'': He is not getting anywhere near my fucking pantry, I tell you that.

Don't tell me you've not been invited. :'''Hugh:''' Yes, no, I have. It's just that I'm actually bashing myself tonight. :'''Julius:''' So you – you've got your own bash here? :'''Hugh:''' Uh yeah. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Julius:''' Ah! Back up, everybody, put the brakes on! We've got a bash happening here tonight and at the Treasury? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. It sounds complicated but I like to, um, maximise my face. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh''': ''(telling a joke at his party)'' And Julius, Julius Nicholson, says, ”I'm sorry but I think you'll find you're sitting in my seat.” :''(No one laughs)'' :'''Hugh''': And this was to God, as I mentioned in the setup. Anyway, have a lovely time. ''(to Ollie, whispering)'' A fiver if you set off the sprinklers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' Why didn't you tell me, Glenn? What possible reason did you have? You saw me, I was swinging like a colostomy bag! :'''Glenn:''' Oh, Hugh, grow up!

Julius Nicholson, right? :'''Glenn:''' Yep. :'''Malcolm:''' Blue sky thinker? Ex-business guru? Dog rapist? :'''Hugh:''' Quite possibly. :'''Malcolm:''' He's being a nuisance to me; he also has got plans to squeeze ''your'' department so hard you'll be lucky if you're left with one bollock between the three of you. So all I am doing here is asking you, formally, if you will join me in a little bit of a circle jerk. :'''Hugh:''' Circle jerk? What? :'''Ollie:''' It's when a lot of guys in a circle all, you know. ''(to Malcolm)'' Well, I assume you don't mean literally, do you? Presumably? :<hr width="50%" />'''Glenn:''' ''(on the phone to a journalist)'' Yeah I know it's probably bollocks, but that's what we all thought when Jim was up for Home Secretary, and then the next thing you know, he's given up the Colombian marching powder and taken up the sacraments. :<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(arriving at his 8.30 meeting)'': Morning, morning, morning!

You win a year's supply of condoms, which in your case is four.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Malcolm:''' So how was Cabinet this morning? :'''Hugh:''' It was good. Obviously, with reshuffle coming up, everybody's desperate to impress. Clare went round the room on a unicycle juggling burning kittens, but er – She didn't really, but what she did do was pretty embarrassing. :'''Malcolm:''' OK. :'''Hugh:''' And in terms of shuffle-y stuff, Carol ended up in Neil's seat. What do you think ''that'' means? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I think that means that Carol wants to be nearer the biscuits, just in case her blood sugar level drops. That woman, she's unbelievable. I have seen her go into second reading debates with Pringles! Her star is somewhat on the wane, I think she's going a bit downward, actually, [[wikipedia:Secretary_of_State_for_Constitutional_Affairs|Constitutional Affairs]]. :'''Hugh:''' Ooh, that's gonna hurt, Constitutional Affairs, that's the [[wikipedia:Geri_Halliwell|Ginger Spice]] of the – :'''Malcolm:''' Of the what, Hugh? Of the what? :'''Hugh:''' Of the Gov– the whole – :'''Malcolm:''' Ginger Spice. Jesus Christ, what – what fucking century are you living in? :'''Hugh:''' There was a fantastic feature about Ginger in the ''[[wikipedia:Heat_(magazine)|Heat]]'' magazine. Apparently she shaves downstairs and she's working for UNICEF or some sort of – :'''Malcolm:''' Hugh, you are talking absolute fucking drivel.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Hugh:''' It looked like Fatty was the one who was on his way out, but now it could just as likely be me. :'''Ollie:''' Well look, Hugh, if you're worried about Fatty we can always start gently briefing against him, I know it's late in the day and, you know, obviously it's not the first thing that we want to be doing – :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, 'Abbot says Fatty's a twat'. Does that make Fatty look like a twat? I think it makes me look like a twat for calling him a twat. :'''Ollie:''' Mm – it doesn't have to be you directly, does it? That's the point. :'''Hugh:''' Robyn? Come on, it's like giving a child a firework. :'''Ollie:''' Well, not Robyn. :'''Hugh:''' Actually that's where your bit of skirt – sorry, whatever the modern – your ho, your ho could actually be quite helpful. If you were just to leave some compromising bits of anti-Fatty documents, you know, just lying by the loo – :'''Ollie:''' Whoa, whoa. Just blatantly using Emma, I'm really not comfortable with that. :'''Hugh:''' Can I remind you, in the last 12 hours you've described her as being 'as mad as a jackdaw on crack', 'castratingly right-wing zealot', and also 'disappointingly below par in the blowjob department', so why the sudden outbreak of principle?<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Glenn:''' Are you still in the frame for ''[[wikipedia:Question_Time_(TV_series)|Question Time]]''? :'''Hugh:''' I am, but I think they're gonna go for Fatty to take advantage of the widescreen option. ''(Ollie laughs.)'' Any, erm – Are there any shuffle-y rumours? :'''Glenn:''' Yeah, yeah. Rob thinks Gerry's got the Foreign Office. :'''Ollie:''' The thing about this, moving offices, just from one place to another, completely different, it's just fucked as a system, isn't it? Because if you – it wouldn't happen in any other job – if you were, you know, Professor of Medieval English in Oxford and you were sitting in your study and somebody came through the door and went, 'Hey, guess what? You're now, er, Professor of Zoology, we want you in the other [[wikipedia:Quadrangle_(architecture)|quad]]', you know, that would be mental, you'd be sitting in a room like a stuffed tit just saying to people, 'How many Os in Zoology? I don't really know, this isn't really my field', and all of that information that you've built up over years and years about [[Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]] or whatever is of absolutely no use to you any more because Chaucer didn't really write about baboons. :'''Hugh:''' Ollie, these are very undergraduate concerns; my point is you don't have to be an expert to make decisions. :'''Glenn:''' That's why you have advisors, you twat. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, I am being serious, Glenn. :'''Glenn:''' Yes, so am I, you are a twat. :'''Hugh:''' I mean, the point is, a lot of knowledge is a dangerous thing. :''(Hugh's office phone rings; Glenn answers it)'' :'''Ollie:''' It's 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'. :'''Hugh:''' Well exactly, so a lot of knowledge is ''incredibly'' dangerous. ==Series 2, Episode 3== :''(A few moments ago, Hugh said that he does not want to close down schools for kids with special needs. He is now in his office discussing the Special Needs Bill with Glenn.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Glenn, the Special Needs Bill. With your, you know, particular interest, I can't do this. :'''Glenn:''' You know my views, you know. Inclusion is an illusion. It doesn't work. :'''Hugh:''' But you-you don't mind if I -- if I go ahead with it? :'''Glenn:''' Of course not. You know, look...you're only following orders. :'''Hugh:''' Oh, thanks. So you won't make me feel bad except by comparing me to a concentration camp guard? :'''Glenn:''' No. Right. Yeah. :'''Hugh:''' Now, tomorrow. Select Committee, that's Ballantine, isn't it? :''(But before Hugh and Glenn can continue discussing the Special Needs Bill, Ollie barges in and interrupts.)'' :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Hugh and Glenn)'' Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt. Who wants to go and watch Bollockvision? :'''Hugh:''' Bollockvision? :'''Ollie:''' Mr. Malcolm Tucker, turning it all the way up to eleven, down in the lobby. Come and have a look. :''(They all go out onto the balcony. On the other side of the atrium, on their floor, Malcolm is shouting at another Minister.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh, poor Keith. Malcolm must fucking love this place: Four ministers in one building. It's his dream, a one-stop bollock-shop. :'''Glenn:''' Trouble is, we're gonna be getting some of that in about an hour. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. I don't know which is worse, watching him slowly rumble towards you like prostate cancer, or him appearing suddenly out of nowhere like a severe stroke. :''(Terri, whose father died after a stroke, turns towards Hugh.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh. How's your sister coping? <hr width="50%"/> :''(The Department of Social Affairs has been renamed "The Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship" -- DoSAC for short.)'' :'''Glenn:''' So, Hugh, this -- this new word, 'Citizenship.' Did the PM actually outline what it entails? :'''Hugh:''' Well, to be honest, I think he was making the reshuffle up as he-as he went along, and I think we were very lucky that 'Citizenship' was the first word that sprang to mind. Otherwise we could be the Department for Social Affairs and Woodland Folk. :'''Ollie:''' See, the problem is, though, Hugh, that there's been a bit of a rush with you not in place. Uh, you know, every department trying to unload all the stuff that they didn't want. But it's been like somebody driving a lorry down Whitehall, shouting "Bring out your shit." And they have and it's ended up at our door. :'''Hugh:''' So what are we getting? :'''Ollie:''' Citizenship basically involves, uh, cutting pensions to the Ghurkhas, rejigging the protocols for a rabies outbreak, some crap from Health about long-term care for the elderly that neither they nor we have any real idea about. :'''Glenn:''' And what to do with the Isle of Man. :'''Hugh:''' ''(annoyed)'' Just what I fucking need. Five new ways to lose my job. :''(Hugh then starts eyeing a plant that he's just noticed is right next to his desk.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Where did that come from? :'''Ollie:''' Oh, Malcolm sent that. :'''Hugh:''' It's far too big. Why-why did he send it? :'''Ollie:''' Uh, office warming present. :'''Hugh:''' So why did he send us a present? :'''Ollie:''' I don't know. :'''Hugh:''' Has Security checked this? :'''Ollie:''' What for? Tiny little terrorists? :'''Hugh:''' Yes. :'''Ollie:''' ''(annoyed)'' It's a plant! Yes?! :'''Hugh:''' ''(moving on)'' Okay, so...citizenshit. What we need to do is knock together some nice, touchy-feely, fondley, sneaky, hand-in-the-bra sort of policies. :'''Glenn:''' New bicycles for special constables, that sort of thing? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Ollie:''' Making special needs kids clean up graffiti? :'''Hugh:''' ''(displeased)'' Yeah, that's just very mean. :'''Ollie:''' Well, yes. Not, of course, as mean as making them spell "graffiti." That genuinely is very mean. :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Hugh, calmly but not happily)'' I'll go and have a word with Malcolm. :'''Ollie:''' Okay. :''(After Glenn leaves the office, Hugh tries to reprimand Ollie for making a joke about special needs kids.)'' :'''Hugh:''' You just took a shit with your clothes on, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Why? :'''Hugh:''' Glenn's boy, Peter. He went to a special needs school. :'''Ollie:''' Oh. :'''Hugh:''' Yep. :'''Ollie:''' ...Glenn's had sex? :'''Hugh:''' God, you're such a prick, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' It's just a joke! :'''Hugh:''' There's more to life, you know, than drinks parties at the Foreign Office and having [[wikipedia:Nick_Robinson_(journalist)|Nick Robinson]]'s mobile number on your fucking BlackBerry! :'''Ollie:''' Yes. All right, all right, fine. Sorry, Hugh. I feel for the guy. I had a girlfriend with special needs once, so I know. ''(smiles smugly)'' Luckily, I was able to fulfill them. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm joins Glenn and Hugh in the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' So did you enjoy the show? :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Malcolm, jokingly)'' You were magnificent, darling. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Yeah, should I phone Keith so that I can get his team to watch you bollock me now? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Hugh)'' No no no no. Have I got my bollocking face on? :'''Hugh:''' Well... :'''Malcolm:''' No. This is my bollocking face? :''(Malcolm shows Hugh his infamous "bollocking stare.")'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh, crikey, yes. Thanks for the pot plant, by the way. :'''Malcolm:''' Did I send that? :'''Hugh:''' As an office warming present. :'''Malcolm:''' Christ, she's a ''great'' P.A., isn't she, Sam? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Malcolm:''' She always remembers the little people. ''(looking at the plant)'' Look at the size of that. Fuck, you could fucking crucify somebody on that. ''(back to Glenn and Hugh)'' So what do you think of the new building, eh? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I can't wait to move upstairs, actually, because I don't really like the glass walls on-on, on this floor. I just feel a bit exposed. :'''Glenn:''' Like a whore in a Reeperbahn window. :'''Terri:''' ''(on the phone, calling out to Glenn)'' Glenn, it's Ollie. He wants you to go through and clarify the Citizenship brief. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Terri)'' How much, love? :'''Terri:''' Sorry? :'''Glenn:''' Okay, I'm on it. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' I'll catch you later. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Hugh, smiling)'' I like your tan, by the way. :'''Hugh:''' Thank you. :'''Malcolm:''' Have you declared it? Staying at the villa of an influential friend? :'''Hugh:''' I-I haven't got any influential friends, Malcolm. You are my only influential friend. :'''Malcolm:''' Oh yeah. And I'm not really your friend. :'''Hugh:''' You're not really my friend. :'''Malcolm:''' So this, uh, Super Schools Bill... :'''Hugh:''' Yep. :'''Malcolm:''' You don't think it's so super, do you? :''(Malcolm gives Hugh the "bollocking stare." Again.)'' :'''Hugh:''' You're doing it now. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(unflinching)'' What? :'''Hugh:''' That's your bollocking face. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Hugh are now discussing -- or is it arguing over? -- the Super Schools Bill.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' You know, it's great that you get all misty-eyed over Glenn's kid. But no one's trying to fuck over special needs kids. :'''Hugh:''' R-Really? Really? Before I went away, I consulted an expert, Mark-Mark Ryan, and he... :'''Malcolm:''' The LSE education guy? And what did that sandal-wearing nonce have to say? :'''Hugh:''' What he said was that closing down special needs schools and putting needy kids into mainstream education is a lousy idea! :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but I've got an expert who will ''deny'' that. :'''Hugh:''' And SEN parents want the special schools kept open. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, my-my expert would totally oppose that. :'''Hugh:''' Who is your expert? :'''Malcolm:''' I have no idea, but I can get one by this afternoon. You see, the thing is you have spoken to the wrong expert. You've got to ask the right expert. And you've got to know what an expert's going to advise you before he advises you. Hugh, whether you like this or not, you are gonna have to promote this bill. So what I'm gonna do is -- I'm gonna get you another expert, yeah? :'''Hugh:''' ''(reluctantly)'' OK. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And so, on Malcolm's say-so, Hugh and Glenn are now meeting with Mr. Roy Smedley, a special needs children expert, to discuss the inclusion of special needs kids in mainstream schools.)'' :'''Hugh:''' But surely, Mr. Smedley, inclusion has been shown to fail the most vulnerable SEN children. :'''Roy Smedley:''' When inclusion's done badly, yes. Yes, uh, you're gonna get bad results. I mean, that's a given. :'''Glenn:''' ''(wearily)'' Inclusion is an illusion. :'''Hugh:''' Mark-Mark Ryan from the LSE was saying that when the special schools do get it right, that the parents of SEN children absolutely fucking flock to... :'''Roy Smedley:''' You spoke to Mark Ryan? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, well, some expert advice, so... :'''Roy Smedley:''' ''(mockingly)'' OK. Expert advice from Mark Ryan? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. You have a problem with Mark Ryan? :'''Roy Smedley:''' In educational circles, he's-he's a bit of a joke. That's another given. :'''Hugh:''' Is it? :''(Suddenly, Hugh's computer beeps with an e-mail alert.)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''(responding to the alert)'' Ah, sorry. It's just that I'm expecting, uh, something quite important. :'''Hugh:''' Is our-Is our e-mail up and running? :'''Glenn:''' No. No, no, this is my hotmail. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Roy Smedley)'' Can you-Sorry, can you excuse me just, um... :''(Roy doesn't mind Hugh being a moment. BUT...Hugh sneaks over to Terri's desk computer since she's not at her desk. Hugh then sends an e-mail to Glenn...or at least who he thinks is HIS pal, Glenn Cullen. The e-mail says "Christ Alive! What a cunt !!!" While Hugh does this despicable thing, Roy continues talking to Glenn.)'' :'''Roy Smedley:''' ''(to Glenn)'' We live in an inclusive society, am I right?

Yeah, there it is. :''(Malcolm, of course, thinks the story is funny.)'' :'''Nicola:''' It's not funny! It's not even accurate, because technically I was fourth. So, really, they should have said, "Fourth in the Sack race." I think we should complain to the PCC. :'''Malcolm:''' Look, stop worrying: the PM is not going to sack you after a week. Sacked after twelve months, looks like you've fucked up; sacked after a week, looks like ''he's'' fucked up. :'''Nicola:''' I'm not doing ''terribly'', am I? :''(beat)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(looking out of the car window)'' I love the way that they've sandblasted everything around here.

I usually just dial 1-1-Hate. :'''Nicola:''' Malcolm, do you know? :'''Ollie:''' Obviously, he knows. :'''Glenn:''' No, he ''doesn't'' know. :''(Nicola decides to come clean to Malcolm.)'' :'''Nicola:''' There has been a massive irretrievable data loss.

Power serve! :'''Nicola:''' My pitch would be: this department is fatally flawed, it's out of condition, it's obese, it's asthmatic. :'''Malcolm:''' That's it girl, back over the net. :'''Glenn:''' You need to be really sure about that, Nicola. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, wise words from the distinguished elderly gay fucking tennis coach here. :'''Ollie:''' Seriously, I think we should talk about my strategy further because I really think that that's the way. :'''Malcolm''' ''(interrupting)'': Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the fucking wee ball boy's having a go now with his wee fucking tight shorts on! ''(to Robyn, who has returned with a tray of drinks)'' What about [[wikipedia:Sue_Barker|Sue Barker]]'s little sister here? What's she got to say? You got something to say, to add to the conversation? :'''Robyn:''' No, er, just that there was no lemon zinger so, um, ''(to Nicola)'' this is coffee, is that all right? :'''Malcolm:''' Do ''The Guardian'' know about this? :'''Nicola:''' Oh fuck, I don't – Fucking ''Guardian'', I don't know. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, as it's referred to in my department. :'''Terri:''' Should I find out? Get some feelers? :'''Malcolm''' ''(looking at Terri's breasts)'': Yeah go on, get your feelers out for the lads. :'''Nicola:''' What do you think, Malcolm? Shitting on the department, will that work? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, let's cause a little bit of friction. Let's fire someone.

E-fucking-nough. You need to learn to shut your fucking cave, right? Today, you have laid your first big fat egg of solid fuck.

We've all got rabies. :'''Nicola:''' ''(on her cell phone)'' So, basically, just get crisps shaped like rockets, rainbow-colored ice cream, you know the stuff that all the other kids have at their parties. :''(MORE big bottles of water!)'' :'''Glenn:''' (surprised) Blimey!

You're still the star of the show. :'''Malcolm:''' It's not for me to say, darling. :'''Geoffrey:''' No, you're still the star of the show. Yeah, until they start wheeling out the celebrities.

Just do what Daddy says, right? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, whilst you're on, um, just, um...there's another thing. Uh, Mummy has asked us to publish the crime stats as part of the Transparent Government initiative. Is that all right with Daddy? :'''Malcolm:''' It's fine. :'''Ollie:''' Really? Because, um, Nicola's got that baffled, panicky look like a child on the ghost train. :'''Malcolm:''' Give me a second while I look up my little file of things I really don't give a fuck about. And here we have under the letter N, we've got "nail-bombing golf clubs," there is, uh, the National Trust, there is Newcastle...Nicola Murray. Yes. She's still there. So fucking can Andy Murray and just get on with the fucking crime stats. :'''Nicola:''' ''(still on the phone with Andy)'' I'll make sure Kate liaises with my press whiz kid, uh, Terri Coverley. She's a woman. But listen, if there is anything else we can do for you, ''please'' don't hesitate to call. Dare I say it, we are ''here to serve'', (laughing) if you'll excuse the pun.

Bye. <hr width="50%"/> :''(But now, Ollie has to give Nicola the bad news...)'' :'''Ollie:''' Malcolm says we have to drop him. :'''Nicola:''' (in disbelief) What? :'''Ollie:''' Andy. He's not in, he's now out. Apparently, according to Malcolm, sent to bed without any barley water. :'''Nicola:''' I mean, he's a fucking tennis player! We're not asking Shane MacGowan! ''Why?'' :'''Ollie:''' It's nothing personal. He just said bringing in celebrities looks desperate. He said it's the sign of a dying government. :'''Nicola:''' We are a dying government! Our hair's falling out, and we're coughing up blood, and our kids are asking us to change the will! :'''Ollie:''' Look, he was quite clear about this. He said just, you know, kill it. Kitten, breeze block, sack, canal. :'''Nicola:''' Oh, I can imagine him being clear about it. Right. We've gotta get on to -- ''(to Terri)'' ''You've'' gotta get on to... :'''Terri:''' Me? :'''Nicola:''' ...Andy Murray's people and find a polite way of saying, "Piss off, Andy. Apparently, you're too well-known to front our public awareness campaign." :'''Terri:''' Right. :''(But Glenn has some GOOD news on the crime stats.)'' :'''Glenn:''' Right! Good news is I have done all that pile and that's in the system. :'''Ollie:''' Excellent. :'''Glenn:''' (stretching his back) Oh, fuck me! :''(But then, Glenn sees a trolley-full of more crime stats headed his way!)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''What the hell's THIS?'' :'''Ollie:''' It appears to be a trolley-full of crime stats. :'''Glenn:''' "Vandalism?" "Bicycle theft?" Oh, this is ridiculous! :''(And just when he says THAT, Glenn kicks open a box of crime stats!)'' :'''Ollie:''' Well, that's given us an unexpected head start, well done. I would kill you but I'd have to add you to the fucking figures. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicola:''' ''(to Terri)'' Okay. Think about what you're gonna say. :'''Terri:''' Yeah. Okay, I've done that. :'''Nicola:''' What? Already? Is that enough time? :'''Terri:''' ''(on the phone)'' Kate. Hello. Uh, Terri Coverley. Yes. Yeah, we're thrilled about Andy being on board. :'''Nicola:''' ''(whispering to Terri)'' Get on with it. :'''Terri:''' (stammering) No. I'm not actually saying that it's... :''(Nicola then sees Steve Fleming entering the room.

How are the crime stats coming along? :'''Nicola:''' It's not easy, Steve, as you can see. But Glenn and Ollie are on top of it. :'''Ollie:''' "Other theft?" What the fuck is other theft? :'''Glenn:''' I don't know what other theft is. :'''Steve:''' If you want to stay late, or pull an all-nighter, if you think it'd help – :'''Glenn:''' You want us to work all through the night on this? :'''Steve:''' It would be very much appreciated upstairs. :'''Ollie:''' Hah, well: I'm an atheist. :'''Steve:''' ''(laughs)'' By the Prime Minister.

Oh, thank you very much. :'''Sam:''' Where did you go? :'''Malcolm:''' I went to, um, Easter Island. I thought I'd spend my time there re-chiseling all the statues, so that they'd look like Westlife. How about a coffee? :'''Sam:''' Oh, I've sent you a link to Andy Murray's website. There's, uh, something you should see. :'''Malcolm:''' Andy Murray's website? :''(While Sam leaves Malcolm's office to get him a cup of coffee, Malcolm reads about the big news on Andy Murray's website...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Andy says, "Just agreed to lead the government's Healthy Choices campaign.

So why has a sports personality launched my policy on his fucking website? :'''Terri:''' Ah! No, I know. I know exactly why that is. :'''Nicola:''' You didn't make the phone call, did you? :'''Terri:''' Well, uh, yes. :'''Ollie:''' Nicola, um, in other really bad news -- Good morning, by the way. :'''Glenn:''' (on the phone) This is about the crime stats, yeah? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, some of the crime stats that we published, as it turns out, were unverified and not ready for being in the public domain. Uh, Marianne Swift from ''The Mail...'' :'''Nicola:''' Oh, Swine-Face Swift. :'''Ollie:''' That's the one. She noticed, uh, a drop in the figures for aggravated burglary in the last quarter. Whereas when she checked it out... :'''Nicola:''' There was no drop. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Nicola:''' Right. So Swine-Face Swift and her piggy hack-hog colleagues... :'''Ollie:''' Exactly. So we're getting a lot of, uh, oinking on the phones. So basically what that means is that the department -- well, essentially the royal you, um, seem to have massaged the crime figures. :'''Nicola:''' Great. Thank you, Steve fucking "Ew, Nicola!" Fleming! :'''Ollie:''' Yup. He is a fucking...ninny, isn't he? :'''Nicola:''' Bring my dispatch boxes. :'''Ollie:''' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steve:''' Malcolm! :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, there he is, [[wikipedia:Bob_Carolgees|Bob Carolgees]]; how's the wee comedy dog? :'''Steve:''' Welcome back. Good holiday? I hear your kitchen's lovely at this time of year. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well actually, I went to Spain. :'''Steve:''' Oh, nice. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah yeah, I went to Malaga, it was lovely. I was golfing with [[Stephen Hawking]], he's fucking shit. He lied about his handicap. Mind you, I never had to hire a golf buggy, I just sat in his lap. :'''Steve:''' Please. Why do we have to be like this? All this negative energy. Come on! :'''Malcolm:''' What? :'''Steve:''' Well, we've got to work together. So, you know... :'''Malcolm:''' So what? I mean, that doesn't mean we have to like each other, does it? :'''Steve:''' No, I mean... :''(Someone's trying to get past Malcolm and Steve.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to the passer-by)'' Sorry. (He politely lets him pass through.) :'''Steve:''' We both know we don't like each other, everyone knows that, we are the Gallagher brothers of politics. :'''Malcolm:''' How does that work? Does that mean that I'm [[Noel Gallagher|the semi-talented songwriter]] and you're [[Liam Gallagher|the fucking loutish prick]]? That's a lovely analogy. :'''Steve:''' You were the one who forced me out of the sodding band. ''(chuckles)'' Come on, let's have a chat. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Steve continue their unfriendly chat in an office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' You were asked to leave the fucking band. And you wouldn't fucking go, would you? You had to hang on in there, like a [[wikipedia:Limpet|limpet]] up a whale's arse. :'''Steve:''' Why do you thrive so much on being disliked? :'''Malcolm:''' People hate me? Good! Bring it on. Do you know what they say about you? :'''Steve:''' I'm sure you're going to tell me, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' I'll tell you ''exactly'' what people think about you! :'''Steve:''' All right, go on then! :'''Malcolm:''' ''Fuck-all!!'' :'''Steve:''' Oh, do they? ''FUCK-ALL?'' :'''Malcolm:''' People have ''no'' fucking opinion about you! You're like fucking [[wikipedia:Special K|Special K]] or fucking the Moody Blues. That's you, fucking white noise in the background—Funny? Is that funny? Do you find that funny? :'''Steve:''' No, I don't find anything you're saying funny whatsoever. And I'll tell you a home truth, Malcolm Tucker: The people who are really hated in this country, the people who are really hated, are us. This government. How about we stand together? Let's both be team players, shall we? :''(But then, Malcolm's cell phone beeps.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Were you the Einstein that OK'd this fucking Andy Murray thing at DoSAC?

What, for what? I've created a what around the government? I've created a vibe? Listen, son, the only fucking vibe you have to worry about is the one that your wife hides in her knicker drawer. ''(back to Steve)'' I am on top of this, okay? :'''Steve:''' Oh, fine, fine. You know, I'm just saying I'll gladly lend you a hand if you feel the need to keep your head down. :'''Malcolm:''' I don't need to keep my head down, because unlike yourself, I don't give blowjobs to truckers. :''(Another knock at Malcolm's office door...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' I SAID FUCK OFF! :''(The door opens, and -- SURPRISE!

Coffee? :'''Julius:''' Well, um, if there's coffee going, I'd never say no to a nice cup of coffee. :'''Malcolm:''' Do you not drink coffee anymore? Is it all port and swan's blood these days? :'''Julius:''' Swan's blood. That does sound nice. No, I'm just sort of passing through, because obviously we need to start booting up this crime stats inquiry. But it's in effect an investigation into the facts. But I thought since I was passing through... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but you don't have to talk to me about that, do you? 'Cause I was on my holidays then. Did you get my postcard? :'''Julius:''' Well, I will speak to whomsoever I need to speak to, holiday or no holiday? :'''Malcolm:''' Where did you learn to speak like that?

According to Terri Coverley, you announced this before Peter took his daily "gaffe dump." What was the word I used this morning? :'''Peter:''' Oh, you used a lot of words this morning, it was like a fucking [[Will Self]] lecture. :'''Stewart:''' What was the word I used? :'''Fergus:''' Coalition? :'''Stewart:''' BOOM! So you ''will'' go to the learning centre where you will re-explain Silicon Playgrounds ''with Peter'', who will make an abject grovelling apology for being both a digi-tard and an elderly racist! :'''Fergus:''' So first you take the policy away from me for Peter to screw up, then you take ''salvaging'' the policy away from me for Peter to screw up! Good, yeah, that's just great! :'''Peter:''' I'm bored of this! I'm going for a Twix! ''(leaves)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peter''' ''(storming out of his office)'': She's NOT on the FUCKING ''LIST!''

You're not getting in MY car tonight! ''(leaves)'' :'''Glenn:''' What a very principled stand you're taking. :'''Fergus:''' Yep, but did you see how stressed Mannion was there? Soon he'll be so weak and disorientated he'll stagger off in the night like a tramp who's stood up too quickly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peter''' ''(on the phone with his wife)'': No, I don't think today is our entire marriage in a nutshell.

Sometimes I think I never stop working. :'''Phil:''' You leave at 5:40! :'''Terri:''' One last thing. :'''Phil:''' Yes, [[Columbo]]? :'''Terri:''' The staff cuts. What do you know? :'''Phil:''' Ah, I see, that's what this whole chat's been about, has it, mental pickpocketing? :'''Terri:''' You see, you don't need to tell me: I'll just list off a few names. You do that girly flicky thing with your hair, OK? :'''Phil:''' Bye, Terri. :'''Terri:''' Was that it, was that code? Am I going? :'''Phil:''' No, I'm telling you to fuck off.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Raj:''' What do you actually do? :''(quiet laughter from the students)'' :'''Peter:''' I am the, er, Secretary of State for Social Affairs a-and Citizenship. :'''Phil:''' It's a bit like being the Lord Commander of the [[wikipedia:List_of_A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire_characters#Night's_Watch_and_wildlings|Night's Watch]]? Er, you watch Game of Thrones, yeah? :'''Raj:''' This is bullshit! :''(the students laugh)'' :'''Teacher:''' Hey, quiet now – quiet! Raj, that language is unacceptable, OK? :'''Peter:''' I'll say, you – you wouldn't use that kind of language in front of your extended family. :'''Students''' ''(shocked)'': Oh! :'''Emma:''' Oh my good God, I cannot believe childbirth is more painful than this.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Adam:''' We have to distance ourself from this ''now''. :'''Fergus:''' Right, OK, I'll call Terri and get her up to speed. :'''Adam:''' Terri is never up to speed. She's stuck in neutral in a fucking rainy car park listening to [[wikipedia:Ken_Bruce|Ken Bruce]]. :'''Glenn''' ''(on his phone)'': Who told you I was the guru? Terri Coverley, right, thank you.

You'll walk rings round him.<hr width="50%" />'''Ben:''' The Leader of the Opposition is in that room, Malcolm, practising ''walking''. I mean, baby horses can walk from the womb, she's one-nil down to a pony. :'''Malcolm:''' A pony isn't a baby horse, it's a foal, a fucking foal is a baby horse. :'''Ben:''' Right, our guest tonight on 'I Don't Give a Fuck about Baby Horses' is me. But we need to do something about Nicola, Malcolm, I mean, you know about her plan – I mean, Nicola with a plan, that's like a toddler with a harpoon, there's a toddler wandering around in that office with a harpoon. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, well, don't you worry about Nicola's plan. I'll deal with that, Sweaty Betty – Listen, when you wake up in the morning you've got a routine, haven't you? :'''Ben:''' Big shit, granola, check the email, shower and a shave, [[wikipedia:Nespresso|Nespresso]], sometimes a second shit. :'''Malcolm:''' Exactly. You have a plan: that's good. Nicola has a plan: that's not good. But I have a plan: that's fucking great.<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(seeing Nicola bend down in front of the photocopier)'': Oh, that's very moving: '[[wikipedia:Ode_of_Remembrance|They shall not grow old]], who photocopy their arses at the Christmas do'.<hr width="50%" /> :''(Nicola and her advisers, Ollie Reeder & Helen Hatley, are brainstorming ideas for a buzzword for do-gooder members of the public.)'' :'''Ollie:''' They're commuters, they are the street-pounders, street – walkers, um – :'''Nicola:''' You can't call them streetwalkers. :'''Ollie:''' They're the people who deal with the little stuff, erm – [[wikipedia:The_Wombles|Wombles]], Honest Wombles, Everyday Wombles? :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, I've just got to take a call. :'''Nicola:''' Erm, straights. :'''Ollie:''' No! :'''Nicola:''' No. No, of course, sorry. :'''Helen Hatley:''' Commuting champions. :'''Nicola:''' Interrai– human [[wikipedia:Interrail|interrailers]] – :'''Ollie:''' Human interrailers? That's interrailers. Er, everyday superstars, all British supremes – :'''Malcolm:''' That sounds like a racist tribute band. :'''Nicola:''' Ordinary people, with something special about them, with a special power. :'''Ollie:''' Please don't say special. Don't say special. :'''Nicola:''' No but – you know, but like sup– people as superheroes. :'''Ollie:''' Ironpeople, Spiderpeople. Wolfpeople. :'''Nicola:''' They're just regular citizens, but they have this – that one special quality that makes them like Batman, or Batpeople. Erm, ''Quiet'' Batpeople. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(glaring)'' Quiet Batpeople? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' She's going to have to fall on her sword, which means that we are gonna have to stick one in the ground, trip her up onto it and get somebody to jump up and down on her back for ten minutes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Reshuffle: don’t send Ben to the back-benches, he’ll just wank and eat Pringles, leather seats are an invitation to men like him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicola:''' Before we finish, I just want to throw one more pebble into the thought pool. :'''Ben:''' Ploop. :'''Nicola:''' Sorry Ben, I missed that? :'''Ben:''' Just I'm sorry, I just, I said 'ploop', it's just the noise of a pebble.<hr width="50%" /> :''(A photographer has managed to take a picture of Helen's 'Quiet Batpeople' notes)'' :'''Nicola:''' "Quiet Batpeople" on every fucking paper! :'''Malcolm:''' Right, this is a wake-up call. And by the way, Helen, the next time you want to make Nicola look like a clown with her fucking hair on fire in a Zumba class, why don't you just take your notes down to [[wikipedia:Snappy_Snaps|Snappy Snaps]] and get them blown up to gigantic charity cheque size, so the partially sighted can be in on the fucking gag? :'''Helen:''' I didn't know they'd be able to see it! :'''Malcolm:''' So we have to seize the agenda. We have to deflect attention away from all this. It's now time to embrace our friend Mr. Tickle. :'''Nicola:''' I can't even say his name without smiling. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, well, ''he's'' not smiling, is he? He's living in a tent, 'cause his key-worker housing's been sold off. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, and he's a 24-carat fucking nutcase. Which means that Peter Mannion has been picking on a man with a history of depression. That's a way right into the Principality of Pricks right there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' It's time for you to step up, Ollie. What's that film that you love? :'''Ollie:''' What film? :'''Malcolm:''' The one about the fucking hairdresser, the [[wikipedia:Luke_Skywalker|space hairdresser]] and the [[wikipedia:Han_Solo|cowboy]]. The guy, he's got a [[wikipedia:C-3PO|tin foil pal]] and a [[wikipedia:R2-D2|pedal bin]]. [[wikipedia:Darth_Vader|His father]]'s a robot and he's fucking fucked [[wikipedia:Princess_Leia|his sister]]. Lego!

Where you fucking kill all the bad guys, and you'll be able to blow up the big – :'''Ollie:''' Death Star. :'''Malcolm:''' The Death Star thing. Then you can go and live happily ever after on the planet of the teddy bears. :'''Ollie:''' They're Ewoks, they're Ewoks. It's a fantastic analogy, well done. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben:''' Malcolm, could I have a couple of words please? :'''Malcolm:''' Political lightweight? Making up the numbers? Sorry that's four isn't it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan:''' So, your loyalty to Nicola is – :'''Malcolm:''' Unwavering. Right up to the point that – :'''Dan:''' Someone challenges her? :'''Malcolm:''' Not necessary: she's going to kick her own head in, which will be easy for her because she does yoga. No, we just need somebody to hold her jacket while she commits political hara-kiri, and sweep in unopposed, being careful not to tread in the mess. :'''Dan:''' So you think – I should challenge her? :'''Malcolm:''' What the fuck is this, Tinker Tailor Soldier Cunt? Do you, or do you not, want to be the next leader of this party? :'''Dan:''' Yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Right, well, she needs to fuck off in eight months, so it looks like we're giving her a chance.

No it's not! Have you ever seen ''Game of Thrones'' Season 2? :'''Adam:''' No! :'''Phil:''' Or Anakin Skywalker, he was young. Frodo, in his thirties, still young for a hobbit.

Welcome to the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Lord Goolding:''' This is an inquiry into the death of Mr. Douglas Tickel. And the practice and culture of the dissemination of confidential information between political parties and the public media. Mr. Weir. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, thank you, Lord Goolding. Um, our first witness today is, uh, is Mr. Stewart Pearson. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Stewart Pearson is ready to testify before the Goolding Inquiry Committee. He takes the oath, but politely declines to put his hand on the Bible.)'' :'''Stewart:''' ''(to the Bible holder)'' No, that's, er, it's fine. ''(taking the oath)'' Yeah. Um, I, Stewart Pearson, do sincerely declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and, and nothing but, uh, the truth. :'''Simon Weir:''' On page, uh, 235 of your, your witness statement...uh, you describe yourself as the, the "Human Rooter" in government. Can you, uh, can you explain what you meant by that? :'''Stewart:''' Um, I'm a...a "router," in the sense that I control the governmental informational ingestion and egestion process. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, Mr. Pearson, just to clarify, your job is -- is to make sure that the public perception of your government's program is a positive one, is that fair? :'''Stewart:''' It's not about perception, yeah? I believe in government as a transceiver, mmm? :'''Simon Weir:''' A transceiver? :'''Stewart:''' Yeah, it's really important, yeah, sure, to give out a, uh, a strong signal, but you -- to be effective, you've got to listen for an echo. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Could you possibly speak in plain English? :'''Stewart:''' I'm sorry, I, I...I thought, I thought I was. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So what-what is clear is that you are an important man, Mr. Pearson. :'''Stewart:''' I'm just a lad from Leeds with a lust for life, yeah? Um...there's an, uh, an African proverb that's, that's stuck with me, yeah? "If you think you're too small to make a difference, you've never spent a night with a mosquito." :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So...part of your job is to make sure that the government's message gets across clearly? Is that right? :'''Stewart:''' That's correct. And despite the sarcasm marinating in that question, I'm very successful in that endeavor. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(correcting Stewart)'' No, there was no sarcasm intended at all, Mr. Pearson. :'''Stewart:''' Sorry, I must have misread your face. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, does your job intrude on your home life? :'''Stewart:''' No. No, when I, when I close the front door, I'm...I'm no longer Stewart Pearson. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' When you... :'''Stewart:''' I mean, I mean when I close it from the, from the inside. You know, right. When I close it from the outside, then...then I very much am Stewart Pearson. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So who are you at home? :'''Stewart:''' Uh, I'm a husband, I'm a -- pardon me, a lover, I'm a carpenter, I'm a cook, I'm a flautist. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' A... :'''Stewart:''' A flautist. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Right. :'''Stewart:''' I play the flute. And I dabble on the Irish bodhrán. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, and would you like to express any, uh, remorse for Mr. Tickel's death? What would you like to say to his family? :'''Stewart:''' Uh, I would like to offer them maximum respect, you know? And maximum remorse. And maximum assurance that Mr. Tickel did not die in vain. We're here. You know? How can we make the government and the media inclusive without being intrusive? Yeah? And if we can answer that, at least we can make sure that there are no more Mr. Tickels. ''(Stewart corrects himself)'' I mean--I mean that not in the sense of, you know, wiping out the Tickel family name. I mean it in the sense that nothing like this will ever happen again. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Hello, Mr. Pearson. Tab 28 in your bundle there, page 263. ''(Both turn to that page in their folders.)'' A paper that you presented in 2006, 'The Iconography of Consensus.' Would you care to summarize the argument you present there? :'''Stewart:''' Sure, yeah, the main thrust – :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Bearing in mind Lord Goolding's desire for plainness and clarity. :'''Stewart:''' Right. Okay. I, um, hypothesise that – Sorry. I ''say'' that the design structure for a parliamentary democracy should be that of the [[wikipedia:Centre_Georges_Pompidou|Pompidou Centre]]: Morally and structurally explicit and open, a porous membrane. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Maybe just a little bit plainer, Mr. Pearson? :'''Stewart:''' People should know, er, what politicians are doing. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Brilliant. :'''Stewart:''' Thanks. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Government should be porous? :'''Stewart:''' Yes. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' But not leaking. :'''Stewart:''' Come on, if someone is determined to leak information, there's nothing that anyone can do about that. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' So as Director of Communications, you are unable to prevent sensitive material being communicated to journalists? :'''Stewart:''' If someone chokes on a packet of crisps, do you issue an arrest warrant for [[wikipedia:Gary Lineker|Gary Lineker]]? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Well, is it fair to say that you have in fact changed nothing, and government communications carries on exactly as they did before, by leaks and whispers? :'''Stewart:''' No, it is not fair to say that. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' In fact, because you disapprove and ''condemn'' these practices, are they not more covert and more hidden and more secret than ever before? :'''Stewart:''' I think that is-is also an unreasonable assertion. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' In spite of your desire to create a political Pompidou Centre, Mr. Pearson, haven't you created the opposite, [[wikipedia:Centre_Point|Centre Point]]? I mean, everybody sees it looming over them but nobody has the faintest idea what happens in there. :'''Stewart:''' ''(calmly, but sarcastically)'' I think there's some kind of club on the top floor. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So, Mr. Pearson, have you identified the source of the leak of Mr. Tickel's records? :'''Stewart:''' No, no. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Have you ever leaked yourself? :'''Stewart:''' No. No, I was over that pre-Britpop. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Do you have any idea where the leak might have come from? :'''Stewart:''' Well, you know, if this was ''[[CSI: Miami]]'', I guess we'd be looking for the person who'd have most to gain from the leak being made public. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, despite your shirt, this isn't ''CSI: Miami''. Who do you think would benefit most from the leak? :'''Stewart:''' Well, I guess I'd be sending [[wikipedia:David_Caruso|David Caruso]] knocking on the door of Mr. Malcolm Tucker. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Malcolm Tucker takes his turn with the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Lord Goolding:''' Can I ask you, "How would you describe yourself?" :'''Malcolm:''' Uh, I'm, uh, a media strategist. :'''Lord Goolding:''' So you would be Stewart Pearson's opposite number? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, uh, I'd be Stewart Pearson's opposite in every possible way, I think. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You have a lot of control and power over your party, don't you? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(laughs slightly)'' I wish, yes. Uh, no. I think that that's been overstated. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So this reputation you have as an enforcer, that's completely misrepresenting you, is it? :'''Malcolm:''' It's baloney. Politicians who have to do things that they don't want to do, such as resign, uh...Because they've been caught with their fingers in the till, or, you know, with their knickers up a flagpole or whatever, they sometimes...It's very convenient for them to have a boogeyman. "Malcolm made me do it." Well, I didn't make them do it. These are people who just find themselves stuck in a room with one exit and I simply show them the door. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I've highlighted some quotes: The ''Guardian'': 'Malcolm Tucker has the physical demeanour and the political instincts of a ''Velociraptor''.<nowiki/>' :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, the ''Guardian'', the newspaper that hates newspapers. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''Telegraph''. :'''Malcolm:''' The ''Telegr-arse''. :'''Baroness Sureka'''<nowiki/>''':''' 'Tucker's writ runs through the lifeblood of Westminster like ''r''<nowiki/>''aw alcohol'', at once cleansing and<nowiki/> corroding.' The ''Times'': 'If you<nowiki/> make eye contact with Malcolm Tucker, you have spilled his pint.' The ''Spectator'': '[[wikipedia:Iago|Iago]] with a BlackBerry'; I mean, you're saying these quotes are, what, misguided? :'''Malcolm:''' The ''Spect-hater''. Erm, no, I'm saying that you are not – you're taking these out of context, you're not contextualising these. If you were to<nowiki/> put them into a perspective, if you were to place them into the landscape, you would see that there might be a lot of axes being ground here. I don't see the difference between what you have just done and a leak, by the way. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, the difference is that what I've just read out was not obtained illegally. :'''Malcolm:''' How do you know that? You don't know <nowiki/>what confidences have been breached in order to form these ''opinions'', for that is what they are. :'''Ba'''<nowiki/>'''roness Sureka:''' So you accept leaking as part and parcel of the political media machinery? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, I mean, if you didn't have leaking, the newspapers would just be full of long-lens bikini shots and adverts for sheds and offers to buy three pairs of trousers for a tenner, et cetera, it's just – it's the way it is. Big deal, no one dies. :'''Lord Goolding:''' One person ''did'' die, Mr. Tucker. :''(Malcolm simply gives a "so be it" look.)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Would you tell us how it works? :'''Malcolm:''' You know, you do me a favor, I do you a favor, yeah? :'''Lord Goolding:''' And what might you expect in return? :'''Malcolm:''' Anything. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' What? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, a [[wikipedia:Kit Kat|Kit Kat]], you might get -- I've had a Kit Kat. I've had a, uh, a big meal. :'''Simon Weir:''' Well, I mean, could you give us an example of what you mean? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(going through his notes)'' Um...Well, yes. I...This is the ''Daily Mirror.'' And I could get drummed out of the Magic Circle for showing you this. Anyway, this is the ''Daily Mirror'' about the "Quiet Batpeople", uh, policy of, uh, Mrs. Nicola Murray. ''(Malcolm shows the inquiry committee a picture of the "Quiet Batpeople" headline.)'' I was there that day. You can't see me, because I've been cropped out here. But this information here, I made sure that those notes were in that place, that they were available, and that the picture editor, uh, knew where to find them. :'''Simon Weir:''' Sorry, I'm just trying to...trying to get this clear. Was Mrs. Murray not the subject of huge derision as a result of this? :'''Malcolm:''' Uh, no, she was a subject of huge derision before this. :''(Chuckles emanate from the gallery.)'' :'''Simon Weir:''' You were trying to undermine the leader of your party? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(putting away the picture)'' I was... :'''Simon Weir:''' Would you, would you say you were a loyal man, Mr. Tucker? :'''Malcolm:''' I'm loyal, yes. I'm loyal to my party. And, uh, I feel that Mrs. Murray's policies were turning the party into -- I don't know if you've seen those calendars that have got pictures of dogs that are dressed up, and they've got little dresses and hats on. She was turning my party into that, she was humiliating my party. So I thought it was absolutely vital to focus the public's attention onto that. :'''Simon Weir:''' And yet you maintain that you had great -- I don't know, what, respect for Mrs. Murray as a person. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, she was a great laugh occasionally, great dancer, she's got terrific hair. She did a good job at DoSAC. A much better job than her successor, who, let's not forget, was playing on a slide when the news of Mr. Tickle's... :'''Simon Weir:''' Yeah, thank you. :'''Malcolm:''' ...death came out. :'''Simon Weir:''' Mr. Tucker, we're well-versed in the events surrounding the... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. :'''Simon Weir:''' ...the death of Mr. Tickel. ''(beat)'' So, tell me, the PFI email that, uh, led to the, to the resignation of Nicola Murray. Did you, did you engineer that? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(takes a long pause...)'' No. No. ''(beat)'' No I didn't. :'''Simon Weir:''' And, uh, the leaking of Mr. Tickel's health records? Do I mean, do I detect your hand in-in that, for instance? :'''Malcolm:''' No no no no. Look, politics is a war. And politicians, sometimes they lose idealogical limbs, right? They get media shrapnel right in the face. Sometimes they get a bullet right in the brain. Civilians, no. There is no way that I would ever attack a civilian, a real person, and especially not somebody with a history of mental illness. Because ''that'' sort of thing -- makes me queasy. :'''Simon Weir:''' So you're a "ethical" leaker, if you will? :'''Malcolm:''' I use leaking to show up corruption, to show up hypocrisy, to show up idiocy, and also the fourth horseman of the political apocalypse, duplicity. For instance: Fergus Williams. He's coming up next, right? :'''Simon Weir:''' Mmm-hmm. :'''Malcolm:''' This is a guy, he's a member of the junior party in this coalition, right? This guy has already opened a private channel to Dan Miller, the Leader of the Opposition. In order to talk about possibly setting up a coalition with him, because he knows very well that this coalition government that he is lumbered with is being torn to pieces like a bread stick at a picnic. :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(very upset)'' Mr. Tucker, you have just used this inquiry to commit a leak in front of us! :'''Malcolm:''' I have not committed a leak. Everybody in Westminster knows that these talks have taken place, everyone. You're supposed to be investigating this. You're supposed to be discovering this stuff. Now you cannot not know what I or anyone else tell you, right, you can't not know that. You cannot not know what you now know. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Mr. Tucker, are you familiar with the rules of association football? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I understand that if you're gonna have an affair, you'd better take precautions, like getting a superinjuction. :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(sternly)'' I ask you, because this is me giving you a yellow card. You are not to use this inquiry to score political points. :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, I'm, I apologize. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Fergus Williams takes his turn giving testimony in front of the inquiry.)'' :'''Matthew Hodge:''' ''(to Fergus)'' Did you see Mr. Malcolm Tucker's evidence earlier? :'''Fergus:''' Uh, yeah, I-Uh, uh, I saw it out of the, out of the corner of my eye. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Would you like me to read what he said about you? :'''Fergus:''' Uh, no, that's fine, that was the bit that I saw. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Embarrassing, I imagine? :'''Fergus:''' ''(emabarrassed, but gathering himself)'' Uh, no, not at all. It was, um, almost, uh, flattering, yeah...uh, to get, uh, to get "Tuckered." It's a, it's a rite of passage in-in-in, in politics. Happens to all of us. It's, you know, it's like when you're in a Russian jail, you get your face tattooed. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Mr. Tucker mentioned meetings between you and the Leader of the Opposition. Did these take place? :'''Fergus:''' ''(after a pause)'' They did, yes. Er, myself and, uh, Adam were part of a team who had very general, noncommittal discussions with, amongst others, Mr. Miller. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' And you discussed a potential future coalition with his party and the removal of your own party leader, is that correct? :'''Fergus:''' ''(taken aback)'' Sorry, could I possibly answer that question with another question? I mean, not that question I'm just asking, but a further question? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Go on. :'''Fergus:''' You do realise that ''you're'' being spun here, you do see that? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Spun? :'''Fergus:''' 'Cause, you know, Malcolm Tucker's not your common or garden spin doctor, right? No, he's the-he's...he's the chief medical officer of spin – he is Spinoza, you see? So he, he didn't come here in order to answer your questions, he came here in order to get ''you'' to then ask ''his'' questions. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Yeah, right, Mr. Williams, I don't want you to answer a question with another question, I want you to answer it with an answer. :'''Fergus:''' I mean, he's conducting you like, um – Goldie. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Did you talk to Mr. Miller about removing your party leader? :'''Fergus:''' ''(in disbelief)'' Sorry, are you getting Tucker's questions sort of beamed straight into your brain? :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(firmly)'' Mr. Williams. :''(A short time later...)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Finally, um, on the subject of frustration, would you say it's difficult to steer policy ideas through your department? :'''Fergus:''' ''(stumbling in his testimony)'' Uh, yes, there are, uh...blockages. Uh, there is one person in particular and, well, you know, I don't want to identify her -- or him, if she was a man. Uh, but this particular person, uh, is rather inept and has hampered a lot of our initiatives. And she, or her, or him is, um...very difficult to remove. And so she's a, he is a...they are a stubborn blockage, shall we say, like, you know, when you get hair and soap in a-in a-in a plughole with skin flakes. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(reassuring)'' Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Williams. That's, that's fine. :'''Fergus:''' Sorry, can I just say... :'''Lord Goolding:''' We are very pressed for time, I'm afraid. :'''Fergus:''' Yeah, but I really didn't want the last thing I said... :'''Lord Goolding:''' I'm sorry. :'''Fergus:''' ...to be "skin flakes." :'''Lord Goolding:''' Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Peter Mannion is discussing Douglas Tickel with the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, when did you first become aware of, uh, Mr. Tickel? :'''Peter:''' When he became the only, um, key worker to refuse our offer of alternative accommodation. Uh, then he sort of dropped off my radar. The next thing I knew he was sewing badges on his tent, and, uh, shouting abuse through a loud hailer. :'''Simon Weir:''' Did you ever feel yourself to be culpable in any way for his, for his homelessness? :'''Peter:''' Look, he-he was homeless only in the sense that he had no home, erm – ''(There are chuckles from the gallery. Peter briefly turns round to them.)'' No, no, a [[wikipedia:Housing_association|Housing Association]] flat was found, which he-he declined. The ''policy'' didn't make him homeless. :'''Lord Goolding:''' The policy of selling off the block of flats where he lived. :'''Peter:''' He made a positive decision to be homeless. It's the difference between being punched in the face and punching yourself in the face. :'''Simon Weir:''' Erm – Why do you think, to use your phrase, he, uh, he punched himself in the face? :'''Peter:''' ''(stammering)'' Why?

I...No. :'''Simon Weir:''' Could you turn to Tab 9? You'll find it in your, in your folder there. Yeah.

'Mr. Tucker threatened to remove Mr. Reeder's appendix, throw away Mr. Reeder, and appoint the useless flap of colon as special adviser.' :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. Well that's – yes. ''(laughs)'' That's banter. :'''Simon Weir:''' 'Mr. Tucker told Mr. Reeder that he would have him smothered, eviscerated, stuffed, ''(Ollie laughs)'' fitted with wheels, and donated to an orphanage.' :'''Ollie:''' That's, what – 'Cause this is out of context, what you don't have there is my reply.

That must have been extremely distressing. :'''Glenn:''' Uh, no, not at all, as a matter of fact. I-I was very invigorated by the idea of, uh, trying to forge a new way in politics. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Mmm-hmm, so all was rosy? :'''Glenn:''' Well, um -- I can't think of any negatives. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' No friction? :'''Glenn:''' No, the only "F" word was "Fun." :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Thank you, Mr. Cullen. Thank you. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, Mr. Cullen, would you say there's a culture of leaking in the government? :'''Glenn:''' Yes, I would. Yes, leaking and lying. :'''Simon Weir:''' To your knowledge, have any of your colleagues lied to this inquiry? :'''Glenn:''' Well, I mean, that's a bit like asking, you know, um -- "Does a cow drink milk?" :'''Simon Weir:''' Does it? :'''Glenn:''' Probably. But what I meant to say was, yes, um, my colleagues lie constantly. It's a...professional necessity. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Have you ever leaked, Mr. Cullen? :'''Glenn:''' First of all, may I just say, uh, welcome back, Baroness Sureka. Big hugs. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we're all thinking of you... :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I'd rather you, um, swapped the ham-fisted flattery for actually answering my question, which was, "Have you ever leaked?" :'''Glenn:''' Right. No, it's a very simple question and it's got a very simple answer. No, I haven't. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Um, you'll be aware of Ollie Reeder's testimony to the inquiry where he said that, uh, you were, in fact, responsible for the PFI leak. :'''Glenn:''' Yes I am. ''(Glenn quickly corrects himself.)'' By which I mean to say I am aware of, of that. But gosh, you've got to be careful what you say here, haven't you? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' You most certainly do, Mr. Cullen. Let's hope we're both up to it. Is there any truth at all to Mr. Reeder's accusations? :'''Glenn:''' Absolutely none whatsoever. He's talking out of hi -- Out of his other cheeks, if you... :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Why would Oliver Reeder suggest that you were behind the PFI email leak, then? :'''Glenn:''' I've absolutely no idea. It's very difficult for me to get into the mindset of somebody so entirely self-serving and, um...spiritually ugly. I mean, anyone who's been unfortunate enough to have come across Ollie Reeder will know that he is a genuinely...atrocious person. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Do you believe Mr. Reeder was trying to cover himself, in that case? :'''Glenn:''' Well, I do believe he has the emotional tools for the task. Yes, certainly. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Do you believe that Ollie Reeder was behind the leak? :'''Glenn:''' ''(after a long pause...)'' No. You see...a-a leak of this magnitude would require one essential item that Ollie lacks. And that's a spine. He is a man without a spine. He is a man-worm. He's a writhing mollusk without any strategies or convictions. He-he simply slimes his way into the nearest crack every night, and I would like to put on record that I apologize to this committee for being the man who brought him into the world of politics. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lord Goolding:''' Thank you for returning to this inquiry, Mr. Tucker. :'''Malcolm:''' That's no problem.

I'm amazed you stayed at the top of politics for quite so long with such apparently poor powers of recall. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, maybe it's my age – it's good to see you back, by the way. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(sarcastically)'' Thank you, nice to see you too. :'''Lord Goolding:''' At your last appearance at this inquiry, you admitted that you have leaked, is that correct? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, everyone leaks: many many people who have appeared here in front of you have leaked, but they've just lied about it to you. :'''Simon Weir:''' Mr. Tucker, that's an incredibly serious charge; do you have any evidence to substantiate that allegation? :'''Malcolm:''' Will you forgive me if I don't do your job for you? Because if you can't spot a sprayed-on halo of someone doing a "what, me guv?" panto act, then maybe you shouldn't be sitting behind that desk. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' At your last appearance we asked you very specifically how you came by Mr. Tickel's NHS number and National Insurance number, and you could not recall. Have you had any more time to think about it? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, I have. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' And could you tell us any more? :'''Malcolm:''' No. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You've got no recollection at all? :'''Malcolm:''' No. And by the way, you should not be talking to me about this because you've been a victim of leaking, a very unfortunate victim, and I have every sympathy with you, but how can you possibly give me a fair hearing when you've been a victim of the very crime that you are accusing me of? You are prejudiced; this entire inquiry, therefore, is prejudiced. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I can see what you're doing, it smacks of desperation and it will not work. :'''Malcolm:''' Does it? No, listen, there you go again, see, that's you, you're just rushing to judgement. You are totally discredited here. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I am obliged to remind you, Mr. Tucker, that you are under oath, and if you lie to this inquiry, it may result in a criminal prosecution. :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, please don't insult my intelligence by acting as if you're all so naive that you don't know how this all works. Everybody in this room has bent the rules to get in here, because you don't get in this room without bending the rules. You don't get to where ''you'' are without bending the rules, that's the way it is. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Mr. Tucker, I am going to give you one more chance to respond to my question. How did you acquire Mr. Tickel's NHS number and his National Insurance number? :'''Malcolm:''' Who said I acquired it? :'''Baroness Sureka:''' A photograph. :'''Malcolm:''' No no, the photograph shows me holding it. It doesn't show me acquiring it. You'd have to ask the person that gave me the folder. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Who gave you the folder? :'''Malcolm:''' I don't remember. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You are being deliberately evasive. :'''Malcolm:''' ... I – I don't recall, you know, I don't know, I can't remember. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Very well. Regardless of how you came by Mr. Tickel's mental health records, did you then leak them to the media? :'''Malcolm:''' I can't recall. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So that's not a denial? :'''Malcolm:''' ''Je ne remember rien.'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, if you can't recall, it leaves open the possibility that you did leak them. :'''Malcolm:''' Let me tell you this. The whole planet's leaking, everybody is leaking! You know? Everyone's spewing up their guts onto the internet, putting up their relationship status and photos of their [[wikipedia:Vajazzle|vajazzles]]!

And to show people their knickers, to show people their skid marks, and then complain to ''[[wikipedia:OK!|OK!]]'' magazine about a breach of privacy! The exchange of private information – that is what drives our economy. But, you come after me because you can't arrest a landmass, can you? You can't cuff a country. You might as well just go and – you can't lynch that guy there, can you? But you decide that you can sit there, you can judge and you can ogle me like a [[wikipedia:Page_3|Page 3]] girl. You don't like it? Well, you don't like yourself. You don't like your species, and you know what? Neither do I, but how ''dare'' you come and lay this at my door! How ''dare'' you blame ME -- for THIS! Which is the result of a political class, which has given up on morality and simply pursues popularity at all costs.

Let the police do their jobs, let us do ours. :'''Fergus:''' Sorry to be, uh, ''contrary,'' Mary, but Peter and I have just been discussing this very issue. :'''Mary:''' Shut up!

So somebody else is going to have to help out. :'''Ollie:''' Well, who says I even want to be you, Malcolm? Who says that? :'''Malcolm:''' Nobody says that. Except every screaming atom of that etiolated stick of fuck you call a body says that. Every fibre of your being, every stamen...says that. But you are not me, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' No. :'''Malcolm:''' And you never will be me. I knew Malcolm F. Tucker, sir...and you are no Malcolm Fucking Tucker.

I give you 18 months before you're a washed out, weeping, alcoholic. With no fucking bladder control. Sleeping on your brother-in-law's sofa. :'''Ollie:''' And so on, and so on.

Yeah, and you probably haven't noticed because you've been on transmit for the last fucking eight years: "Wah wah wah wah wah!" And whilst you've been doing that, everybody else has been changing, and it's all a bit softcore now, it's all about algorithms now.

We say, "The Department of Social Affairs has been doing amazing work, bread-and-butter work, belt-and-braces work, the kind of work that you people aren't interested in cos it's not shiny, shiny, media-friendly stuff. You are so obsessed with how things play in the media, you sickos, that every time we try and do, you know, just carry on with our day, you don't show up, so we have to call a big, you know, thing like this." :'''Hugh:''' On target, under budget. :'''Ollie:''' Coalface politics. :'''Hugh:''' Absolutely. Yes, I like that. :'''Glenn:''' Not wasting resources. :'''Hugh:''' Good. Let's do that. :'''Glenn:''' Let's go for that. :'''Hugh:''' We trick them. We trick them. Tinselly thing and they come along and we say, "Ah, that's what we've been doing, we've been doing our fucking jobs!" ''(beat)'' Yes, they never print that stuff, do they? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, yeah, and you've come all this way, we've got you two hours out of London to come and cover this. :'''Hugh:''' You mugs! You mugs! :'''Ollie:''' But you know what? You've got a bigger story here than you have chasing your tinsel. :'''Hugh:''' Which is you live in a country which is properly...There's not many countries can say that. :'''Glenn:''' And we've probably got 10,000,000 we can throw at it. :'''Hugh:''' That's good, because it sounds like a lot, doesn't it. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh, Glenn and Ollie are at the school, preparing for Hugh's big speech.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I've got a thing here that says "springy concrete."

''(asking Glenn and Ollie)'' Real families or real people? :'''Glenn:''' Families. :'''Ollie:''' People. Real people. :'''Glenn:''' You see? Don't...Families. :'''Ollie:''' Families sounds exclusive. It sounds kinda back to basics, it sounds [[wikipedia:John Major|John Major]]. :'''Glenn:''' People sounds Communist. :'''Ollie:''' It doesn't sound Communist. :'''Hugh:''' I'll say families. :'''Glenn:''' Thank you, Hugh. :'''Ollie:''' Say families of people. :''(A schools-woman approaches the room.)'' :'''Schools-woman:''' Mr. Abbot. :'''Glenn:''' Great.

Very nice indeed. <hr width="50%"/> :''(But a short time later...Hugh's speech bombed.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Well, that was a fucking disaster. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Surprisingly, Hugh's press conference was so boring that it was a success!

Bollocks, we'll get rid of that. :'''Glenn:''' Aw, for fuck's sake, yeah. Fiddling while Rome burns. :'''Hugh:''' Fucking right. We'll kick some arse. We'll kick some butt! Kick some butt! :'''Glenn:''' That's what we're in it for, mate, tell them all the shit that we do. :''(Glenn sees Malcolm standing behind Hugh, but Hugh is blissfully unaware.)'' :'''Hugh:''' It's a means to an end, mate. :''(Hugh then sees Malcolm right behind him.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Fuck me, Malcolm.

It-it's killed. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but once you start the fire...And we didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning, et cetera, et cetera. :'''Hugh:''' Sorry, Malcolm, you're not making any sense. :'''Malcolm:''' Prime Minister, obviously, he's on the plane in Stockholm, and somebody hits him with ''The World At One.'' He thinks it's the Treasury trying to stiff him one, so he, um... he stuck with the story. :'''Hugh:''' He liked it? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, he's backing the Snooper Force. :'''Hugh:''' ''(smiling)'' Oh, right. We shouldn't really then have, I mean, you shouldn't really have told us to, uh...Should you? ''(chuckles)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Don't should me, Hugh. Cos I'll should you right back. I'll should you right through that window. None of this SHOULD be happening, should it? SHOULD it? Should it? :'''Hugh:''' Is that should in the...sense of yes, or...? :'''Malcolm:''' It's should in the sense of "You should do as you're fucking told." :'''Hugh:''' What are we gonna do now? :'''Malcolm:''' You're gonna completely reverse your position. :'''Hugh:''' Hang on a second. Malcolm, it's not actually that, um – I mean, that's gonna be quite hard, really. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, well the announcement that you didn't make today, you did. :'''Hugh:''' No, no, I didn't, ''and'' there were television cameras there while I was not doing it. :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck them! :'''Hugh:''' I'm not quite sure h– what level of reality I'm supposed to be operating on. :'''Malcolm:''' Look, this is what they run with. I tell them that you said it, they believe that you said it. They don't really believe you said it, they know that you never said it. :'''Hugh:''' Right. :'''Malcolm:''' But it's in their interests to say that you said it. Because if they don't say that you said it, they're not gonna get what you say tomorrow or the next day, when I decide to tell them what it is you're saying. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I-I am following this. I just... :'''Malcolm:''' I had a friend who used to indulge in extramarital affairs, OK? He would go off and he'd have some dalliance, and every Monday he'd come back and he'd meet his wife. And he told me that all he did was inside his head turn a little switch. The affair never happened. OK? :'''Hugh:''' Right. :'''Malcolm:''' There's not a prob -- I don't -- What is the problem with this? :'''Hugh:''' The problem with it...First of all, I didn't get much dalliance. :'''Malcolm:''' Get it into your head. Rewind today into your head. :'''Hugh:''' OK, stop explaining it to me! :'''Malcolm:''' I have to fucking explain it to you, man. You haven't been here long enough. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Ollie is in an office arguing with his ex-girlfriend, Angela Heaney...who's also a news journalist.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I'm really glad you came in, Angela. :'''Angela Heaney:''' Well, I could lose my job, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah... :'''Angela:''' Because I went all hot and heavy to the news desk with three directly contradictory stories in one day. :'''Ollie:''' I know, :'''Angela:''' They gave me flip-flops. You know? Someone actually went out and bought me flip-flops to give me. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. You've gotta give them credit for that, that is quite funny. :'''Angela:''' Yeah. And they pasted onto them...a fucking porn picture of a girl sucking a big cock and they wrote, "Angela Heaney swallows anything." :'''Ollie:''' That is less funny. Obviously, that's actually quite offensive. :'''Angela:''' Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't do a big story on the, you know, the day of spin? :'''Ollie:''' Wh-Why? What sort of story? ''(Ollie starts stammering and struggling to defend himself...)'' :'''Angela:''' Inside story of a government department out of control. With diagrams and maybe a flow chart with your face and name on it. And Glenn's and Hugh's and big arrows showing who spoke to who and how you all fucked it up. Yeah, I think I could write that one up myself, Ollie. I think I could do the punctuation on ''that'' one. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, I'm sorry. :''(Suddenly, Malcolm comes into the office.)'' :'''Malcolm''': Hey. Hi, Angela. Oh, I like the hair, nice little corkscrews. How's it going? :'''Ollie''': Yeah, er, fine. Um, we were just, er, talking about why Angela shouldn't do a big story on the big insidery piece, kinda day of spin, sort of spread in the paper... :'''Malcolm''': Oh, I don't know. Maybe you should! Good idea! :''(Malcolm leaves -- then comes back.)'' :'''Malcolm''': Oh, wait a minute. I know why she shouldn't. Because, you know, if she did that, she'd be dead. To me, to this department, to the government. And she'll never get another story, or even a fucking whiff of a story as long as she kept her sorry, hack bitch face lingering around Westminster, because I would call every editor I know - which, obviously, that's all of them - and I'd tell them to gouge her name out of their address books so she'd never even get a job on hospital radio ''where the sad sack belongs.'' That's what I'd tell her. ''(to Ollie)'' But maybe you should do it. See you later. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. ''(to Angela)'' He's actually...He can be really nice. It's been a very long day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' I want a new driver. Get me a new driver. I don't want to see this guy ever again. :'''Glenn:''' On what grounds? :'''Hugh:''' Smiling.

Can't we devolve some of it? If I could get just one decent night's shut-eye... :'''Glenn:''' Well, Hugh, do yourself a favor. Stay over in the flat. :'''Hugh:''' I can't break my promise to Kate. :'''Glenn:''' I mean, do you actually get to see the children? :'''Hugh:''' Glenn, I don't have time for that. All I do... I work, I eat, I shower. That's it. Occasionally... I take a dump, just as a sort of treat. I mean, that really is my treat. That's what it's come to. I sit there and I think, "No, I'm not going to read the [[wikipedia:New_Statesman|''New Statesman'']]. This time is just for me. This is quality time just for me."

That's not very good, is it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' So, how do we respond to this? :'''Terri:''' Right, we don't exchange insults with bloody Simon arsepipes titty-twat. :'''Ollie:''' Is that honestly the best swearing that you can come up with? :'''Glenn:''' This is a bucket of shit: if someone throws shit at us, we throw shit back at them, we start a shit fight. We throw so much shit back at them that they can't pick up shit, they can't throw shit, they can't do shit. :'''Terri:''' Mm. :'''Hugh:''' That's top swearing, Glenn, well done. :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Terri)'' Watch and learn. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' ''(thinking of policy ideas)'' Shut up for a minute, please.

He and Hewitt are as tight as arse cheeks. :'''Hugh:''' Are they now? :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck knows, but that's what we're saying, OK?

Please! :''(Glenn finishes his phone conversation with Hugh.)'' :'''Glenn:''' Now, Hugh -- look, I'm gonna have to hang up. :'''Factory Woman:''' Did you enjoy that?

I'm Malcolm. We've spoken on the phone. :'''Mark Davies:''' Yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Do you mind if I pop in?

He doesn't look great, does he? :''(As they continue looking at the footage, Malcolm starts to attempt to play director.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Mark's assistant)'' That shot, are you going to use that? :'''Mark:''' Malcolm. :''(Mark doesn't want Malcolm touching the equipment.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, sorry. :'''Mark:''' Don't touch that. :'''Malcolm:''' This isn't in the package, is it, Mark? :''(Sure enough, Malcolm's inner director starts channeling inside him again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Mark's assistant)'' You're not using that. You can't use that. ''(to Mark)'' This is dumbing down of the news agenda that people like me and your boss's boss really object to. And I'm gonna mention this to him when I see him on Friday, by the way. :'''Mark:''' Malcolm, this is a traditional old-fashioned news story, called 'Minister looks a tit'. :'''Malcolm:''' Hey, everybody looks a tit, you know? Take two of these shots of him looking moronic out. Leave a couple in of him looking a little bit dim, put one of him composed, drop it down the running order, and we've got a deal. :'''Mark:''' I'm not – Deal, what deal, Malcolm? He looks a tit, that's it. I'm sorry. :'''Malcolm:''' But there is a difference between allowing someone's natural tittishness to come through, and just exploiting it through camera work here! You're sticking one tit moment on top of another tit moment. That wouldn't happen in real life. And do you know about that woman? Have you made any inquiries into the background of that woman? :'''Mark:''' I'm sure my researchers have, yes. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes. Your researchers have? Well, well, I'm gonna tell you I don't think they have. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Stats, percentages, international comparison, information! Email them fucking WADS of information!

You know, with their T-shirts and weird trousers and tabards. Why do they wear clothes with writing on them? And why are they so fucking fat? :'''Glenn:''' I know, and stupid. :'''Hugh:''' God, I hate this place. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Jamie are about to give Ollie an important mission...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Ollie. :'''Jamie:''' ''(to Ollie)'' We need you to fuck Hugh for us.

Okay, see you later. :'''Ollie:''' ''(seeing a bag of chips from a bin on his chair)'' Oh nice, very nice. :'''Jamie:''' WELL GO FOR FUCK'S SAKE, YOU BIG FUCKING PRICK!

Always best to be inside the tent, pissing out. :'''Ollie:''' Absolutely. If you were, you know, doing this over at Environment and Rural Affairs, you'd be, uh, at 8:30 you'd be very much outside the tent, wouldn't you? Probably at Coffee Republic. :'''Hugh:''' Covered in piss. Good luck. You'll be fine. You don't need good luck. Yeah. :'''Robyn:''' What about the...piss? :'''Hugh:''' ''(reassuring Robyn)'' No no no, it's just a figure of speech. :'''Robyn:''' I'd better go. :'''Ollie:''' See you later, Robyn. :'''Robyn:''' OK. :'''Ollie:''' ''(looking at his cell phone)'' I'm sure there's a way of... :'''Hugh:''' ''(chasing after Robyn)'' Robyn! :''(Hugh just remembered to ask Robyn a question.)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(whispering to Robyn)'' Robyn, sorry.

I'll box his ears. :''(Robyn leaves)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' Box his ears? If that was flirting, that was absolutely crap. :'''Glenn:''' What? :'''Hugh:''' Box his ears? How long is it since you've had sex? :'''Glenn:''' That is between me and my internet service provider. Anyway, about this morning's – :'''Ollie:''' ''(chuckling)'' You've actually gone red, Glenn.

There seems to have been a bit of a problem last night with, uh, Liam on ''Newsnight.'' I would like to know why did we have a Minister on last night who did not appear to know their lines. :'''Reporter #1:''' It's not all his fault, Malcolm. We-we grilled him beforehand. :'''Malcolm:''' You grilled him? :'''Reporter #1:''' He's got a new baby. He's not getting enough sleep. :'''Malcolm:''' I don't care if he's got a new baby. I don't care whether he's tired. He looked like he didn't know what he was fucking talking about. Now I know he doesn't know what he's fucking talking about, but he's got to appear as if he does, right? ''(Malcolm starts pointing at all the reporters.)'' And that is your job and your job. ''(He continues pointing.)'' And yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours and yours. With all due respect of ministers, give them the lines. Right? :'''Robyn:''' Give them all the lines to say? :''(Malcolm introduces the other reporters to Robyn.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' This is the delightful Robyn. She's just with us today. She's standing in for, eh, Terri Coverley at the Department of, uh, Social Affairs. So let's be gentle with her, please. No remarks about the Department of Stuffed Anuses, or the Department of Stupid Announcements, or the Department of Sod All. ''(Laughter emanates from the room.)'' Right, next. :'''Robyn:''' Reshuffle? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Robyn, smiling)'' Yes, there is, uh, a pending reshuffle, I can see we're not gonna get anything past you! "There was a young girl from DOSA, who helped herself to a samosa." ''(Malcolm jokingly makes a karate chop.)'' Argh! Next time I'll come up with something. Just a bit of fun. Um...Yes, the reshuffle. No, yes, well, definitely, we-we don't know anything. ''I'' don't know anything. So, um, we can't say anything. But you know, even if we did, we wouldn't. But we don't, so we both can't and won't. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' ''(asked for a line about Julius Nicholson at his 8.30 meeting)'' 'Julius Nicholson is a hugely respected adviser. He now has a wide-ranging brief, and his blue-sky vision and helicopter thinking will enable this Government to go, in his own phrase, "beyond delivery, and beyond that".' That's the line, OK? And if he does stick his baldy head round your door and comes up with some stupid idea about 'policemen's helmets should be yellow', or 'let's set up a department to count the moon', just treat him like someone with Alzheimer's disease, you know? Just say to him, "Oh, yeah, that's lovely, that's good. We must talk about that later." OK? <hr width="50%"/> :''(Hugh is now at Malcolm's office at Number 10. Hugh wants to talk to Malcolm about the impending reshuffle.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on his mobile)'' In no way, shape or form is it gonna have any ''(knock at door)'' – Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off. :'''Hugh:''' ''(entering)'' Well I'll come the fuck in then. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(back on his mobile)'' It's just something that Nicholson's flown, you know. It's a kind of brain exercise, like "What would it be like if men had tits?", you know? [[wikipedia:Mark_Mardell|Mark Mardell]], yeah, ''(laughs)'' that's pretty good, actually. All right, then. See you, then. ''(hangs up)'' Hugh? :'''Hugh:''' I thought you would want to know as soon as possible. :'''Malcolm:''' What? :'''Hugh:''' Terri's dad. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah? :'''Hugh:''' No news at the moment. :'''Malcolm:''' Right, so you've come to talk about the reshuffle, yeah? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I have. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah? :'''Hugh:''' In terms of shuffley stuff, how is Neil? I mean, is his heart... :'''Malcolm:''' Have you not heard? :'''Hugh:''' No. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(sighing heavily)'' He's paralysed. :'''Hugh:''' Oh no. :'''Malcolm:''' Neil's on wheels. :'''Hugh:''' You're kidding. :'''Malcolm:''' He's a vegetable. :'''Hugh:''' Oh my God. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. :''(A lengthy silence follows...and then...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That means you could have his department. :'''Hugh:''' Oh, you are kidding. Well, fuck you very much. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I know that you're looking for mouth-to-mouth in the reshuffle, but I don't know anything about it.

I have got so much work to do here, what with this, uh, the MOD... :'''Julius:''' As the minister said to the prince, don't be surprised if we abolish you. I'll leave it with you. :''(Julius gets up and leave the office. Malcolm and Hugh resume their conversation.)'' :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' That was a bit, um...Are you all right? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(annoyed)'' I'm fucking all right. I can fucking look after myself. :'''Hugh:''' Under the spotlight now, aren't you? :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, ''you'' should just watch your own back, what with the missus dripping poison into the big guy's ear about you. :'''Hugh:''' Missus? What missus? :'''Malcolm:''' The Prime Minister's missus. Oh, what? You don't know? She doesn't like the cut of your jib, son. :'''Hugh:''' She doesn't -- She's hardly ''seen'' my jib. I just had a conversation with her at the New Year's party, that's all. ''(beat)'' Why doesn't she like me? I mean, what's not to like? :'''Malcolm:''' I mean, you just didn't click. :'''Hugh:''' ''(exasperated)'' We couldn't click! We were talking about the fucking Euro! How are you supposed to click over the Euro? It's fucking impossible. :'''Malcolm:''' Don't take it so personally. :'''Hugh:''' You're telling me she doesn't like me as a person! How else am I supposed to take it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ollie:''' Robyn, can you send these back to archives, 'cause they're not even highlighted, I'm not going to plough through all that myself. While you're talking to them, I need the last four months of the European Digest. I'm going to be moving – :'''Robyn:''' Is it 'cause you fancy me, is that what this is all about? :'''Ollie:''' Sorry? :'''Robyn:''' Why are you so bloody rude to me? I mean, that's got to be the reason. Other people, when they come in here, they knock on the door and they say "hello", "good morning", "thank you" and "nice top" sometimes. :'''Ollie:''' Right, um, well, no. I mean, for a start, I don't fancy you. I don't know where you got that in your head, but it's probably best to get it out. If I'm slightly polite to you on a semi-regular basis, will that in any way bypass it? :'''Robyn:''' I think that would definitely do it. :'''Ollie:''' Right, fantastic. Well, thank you very much for the work you do; hi, by the way, how are you? :'''Robyn:''' I'm really well, actually. :'''Ollie:''' Great, that's great; you look lovely; can I have the fucking Digest, please? That would be terrific. :'''Robyn:''' All you had to do was ask me. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, well, all I did do is ask. ''(Robyn bends down to get something)'' Phwoar! ''(She gets up and stares at Ollie)'' It was a joke. <hr width="50%"/>'' :''(Hugh and Ollie are discussing the latest Cabinet meeting.)'' :'''Hugh:''' I did mention your great quiet carriages thing and he just – ''(pulls a slightly disgusted face)'' :'''Ollie:''' Well what does that mean? :'''Hugh:''' Fuck knows what it means, but I don't think it means, "Oh, Hugh, you're fantastic. Here, become Home Secretary". And even if it did mean that, when he's in bed tonight with Mrs PM, flossing, then she'll say, "What do you mean, Hugh Abbot as Home Secretary? The man is a social spastic and very probably a registered nonce, darling." <hr width="50%"/> :''(This scene starts with Malcolm on his desk phone in his office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on the phone)'' This is just another example of thinking out of the box by someone who's clearly out of his fucking tree. :''(Someone's knocking on Malcolm's door -- and that someone is Julius Nicholson. Again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(on the phone)'' Alright, I've got to go. I'll talk to you later. :'''Julius:''' ''(entering the office)'' Ah, Malcolm Tucker! :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Julius)'' Julius Nicholson! What can I do you for? :''(Both men sit down in their chairs for a chat.)'' :'''Julius:''' I am keen to have a chat with, um, Keith Percival. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. Uh, that won't be possible. :'''Julius:''' And I need to read the O'Rourke papers. :'''Malcolm:''' I'm afraid not. Anything else? :''(Uh-oh...this is gonna be a long, uncomfortable conversation.)'' :'''Julius:''' Look, Malcolm, you and I both know full well that my power and authority flows directly from the PM. If you've got a problem... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, Keith is so busy with real governmental work that he doesn't have time to discuss with you your ideas and theories. The O'Rourke papers are not relevant to anything that we can actually action at this moment. :'''Julius:''' That's slightly funny, because when I played tennis with the PM -- which I do as I'm sure you know, every Sunday -- he was saying just how much he was looking forward to seeing that paper. :'''Malcolm:''' He does think that your theories are interesting. He tells me that, because, you know, I see him every day. I also see him on a Sunday when I get together with his family and I make the fucking waffles. ''BUT'' -- I cannot allow you to come in here and interfere with the actual process of government. :'''Julius:''' Malcolm, that is my -- that is my ''JOB!'' That's my job! :'''Malcolm:''' Well, you're doing it very fucking well. :'''Julius:''' Malcolm, I'm sorry. There are gonna be big changes around here. Get used to it. We'll announce all this at the reshuffle. :'''Malcolm:''' With all due respect, Julius, the reshuffle is the business of the PM and the PM alone, which means that that is my business. It is my remit. :'''Julius:''' No, Malcolm. Historically, yes. But now it's part of my remit. :'''Malcolm:''' Right. OK, I'll tell you what we should do. ''(getting up)'' Why don't we just get our remits out, slap them on the table, and see who's got the biggest fucking remit? :'''Julius:''' ''(standing up)'' Mal-Mal -- Malcolm, Malcolm, we need to talk about accommodation, we need to talk about access... :'''Malcolm:''' Accommodation? Why am I talking about accommodation? :'''Julius:''' It's a 21-man department. We can't fit upstairs. This is ideal. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(confused)'' 21 men in here? :'''Julius:''' Not just in here, no. This office here will be perfectly usable, for not only myself... :'''Malcolm:''' That's not an office. :'''Julius:''' Yes, it is an office. :'''Malcolm:''' It's a pantry. :'''Julius:''' Well, whatever it is, we will refit this out as a working office... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(opening the pantry door)'' Julius, it's a fucking pantry. Look. :'''Julius:''' So what? What we'll do is we will kick through this -- Bang, straight into the PM's private study. ''(Julius shuts the pantry door.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(talking while eating something)'' What are people gonna say -- when they come in and they say, "Where is Julius Nicholson?" :'''Julius:''' I'm here. :'''Malcolm:''' He's in the pantry! :'''Julius:''' ''(knocking on the pantry door)'' Here I am. :'''Malcolm:''' You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna ridicule you. :''(Malcolm and Julius are talking over each other, and then Malcolm cracks wise...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''Where's the bankrupt in the cupboard?'' :'''Julius:''' Why are you behaving like a complete and utter prick? :'''Malcolm:''' I'm supposed to polish you up, burnish you up. Yeah, and when you get your big break and you're on fucking ''Call My Bluff'' or whatever it is, I'm supposed to... :''(Malcolm sees Julius heading for the door to leave the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Come back in here! Oi! Come back in here! JULIUS! Get the fuck back in here! :''(Julius reluctantly comes back in Malcolm's office, and Julius tries to lecture Malcolm while he's talking.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Please! Please! Come back. Let's be civilised. Let's-let's be civilised about it. Let's be civilised, come on. Let's be -- there ''are'' human resources, let's be civilised about it. Go over to your fucking pantry, right. :'''Julius:''' This is a perfectly usable office space... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(shutting the pantry door)'' Cool it for one minute, okay? Cool it. And just fucking cool it, shut up and fucking listen to me. This is an old fucking Georgian door. Do you know how long this has been here? :'''Julius:''' No I don't. :'''Malcolm:''' Since the time of Elizabeth I, at least. Now look at that. :''(Julius laughs in utter disbelief.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That does not open. Look at it. Look at it. Try opening it. Come on. Surely, this is the kind of stuff you like. Character building, team building. Put your hand over mine. Try to open the door. Come on, Julius.

Just a wall two feet away. :'''Glenn''': I know, we force feed him with a mixture of garlic and Dettol in Cup-a-Soup. :'''Hugh''': What about the old red-hot poker up the arse? Edward II? :''(Julius walks in)'' :'''Ollie''': I'd like to nail him to a tree through the head and watch lice slowly crawl over his body, eating off the flesh in a slow and painful death, ''(having already noticed Julius)'' but that rather bitter anomaly aside, most of the responses to the Warwick report press cuttings were pretty positive. :<hr width="50%" />'''Hugh''' ''(to Ollie)'': I ''am'' desperate, but I don't really want to ''look'' desperate, like Glenn. :'''Glenn''' ''(entering)'': Oh, God, here we go again. Yeah, like Glenn, what? :'''Hugh:''' Well, I was just saying, the last time you saw a snatch was... :'''Ollie:''' ''[[wikipedia:Basic_Instinct|Basic Instinct]]''. :'''Hugh:''' You see, that's good. That's the kind of repartee I need with the PM's wife. It's that final k-tsssss! you see, that's the bit I'm missing. :'''Glenn:''' Yeah, well, I think you could drop the snatch material with the PM's wife, don't you? :'''Hugh:''' Well, OK, between the snatch and the Euro there's some sort of happy medium.<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(on the phone)'': He is not getting anywhere near my fucking pantry, I tell you that.

No offence, Robyn. :<hr width="50%"/> '''Julius:''' It's Paul Webster, US Economics Secretary of State. He's unexpectedly coming over, and the Treasury are hosting a bash for him this evening. Don't tell me you've not been invited. :'''Hugh:''' Yes, no, I have. It's just that I'm actually bashing myself tonight. :'''Julius:''' So you – you've got your own bash here? :'''Hugh:''' Uh yeah. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Julius:''' Ah! Back up, everybody, put the brakes on! We've got a bash happening here tonight and at the Treasury? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. It sounds complicated but I like to, um, maximise my face. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh''': ''(telling a joke at his party)'' And Julius, Julius Nicholson, says, ”I'm sorry but I think you'll find you're sitting in my seat.” :''(No one laughs)'' :'''Hugh''': And this was to God, as I mentioned in the setup. Anyway, have a lovely time. ''(to Ollie, whispering)'' A fiver if you set off the sprinklers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hugh:''' Why didn't you tell me, Glenn? What possible reason did you have? You saw me, I was swinging like a colostomy bag! :'''Glenn:''' Oh, Hugh, grow up! Stuff happens in this department every day, I can't tell you everything! :'''Hugh:''' Since when, Glenn, since when does the Secretary of State for Social Affairs have to find out ''from the fucking press'' that every morning at 8:30 I'm being fisted up to the gallbladder by a bald man? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Right, guys, thanks very much for staying on. Julius Nicholson, right? :'''Glenn:''' Yep. :'''Malcolm:''' Blue sky thinker? Ex-business guru? Dog rapist? :'''Hugh:''' Quite possibly. :'''Malcolm:''' He's being a nuisance to me; he also has got plans to squeeze ''your'' department so hard you'll be lucky if you're left with one bollock between the three of you. So all I am doing here is asking you, formally, if you will join me in a little bit of a circle jerk. :'''Hugh:''' Circle jerk? What? :'''Ollie:''' It's when a lot of guys in a circle all, you know. ''(to Malcolm)'' Well, I assume you don't mean literally, do you? Presumably? :<hr width="50%" />'''Glenn:''' ''(on the phone to a journalist)'' Yeah I know it's probably bollocks, but that's what we all thought when Jim was up for Home Secretary, and then the next thing you know, he's given up the Colombian marching powder and taken up the sacraments. :<hr width="50%" />'''Malcolm''' ''(arriving at his 8.30 meeting)'': Morning, morning, morning! So what's the story in [[wikipedia:Balamory|Bala-fucking-mory]]? :'''A press officer:''' Reshuffle! :'''Malcolm:''' Excellent! You win a year's supply of condoms, which in your case is four.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Malcolm:''' So how was Cabinet this morning? :'''Hugh:''' It was good. Obviously, with reshuffle coming up, everybody's desperate to impress. Clare went round the room on a unicycle juggling burning kittens, but er – She didn't really, but what she did do was pretty embarrassing. :'''Malcolm:''' OK. :'''Hugh:''' And in terms of shuffle-y stuff, Carol ended up in Neil's seat. What do you think ''that'' means? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I think that means that Carol wants to be nearer the biscuits, just in case her blood sugar level drops. That woman, she's unbelievable. I have seen her go into second reading debates with Pringles! Her star is somewhat on the wane, I think she's going a bit downward, actually, [[wikipedia:Secretary_of_State_for_Constitutional_Affairs|Constitutional Affairs]]. :'''Hugh:''' Ooh, that's gonna hurt, Constitutional Affairs, that's the [[wikipedia:Geri_Halliwell|Ginger Spice]] of the – :'''Malcolm:''' Of the what, Hugh? Of the what? :'''Hugh:''' Of the Gov– the whole – :'''Malcolm:''' Ginger Spice. Jesus Christ, what – what fucking century are you living in? :'''Hugh:''' There was a fantastic feature about Ginger in the ''[[wikipedia:Heat_(magazine)|Heat]]'' magazine. Apparently she shaves downstairs and she's working for UNICEF or some sort of – :'''Malcolm:''' Hugh, you are talking absolute fucking drivel.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Hugh:''' It looked like Fatty was the one who was on his way out, but now it could just as likely be me. :'''Ollie:''' Well look, Hugh, if you're worried about Fatty we can always start gently briefing against him, I know it's late in the day and, you know, obviously it's not the first thing that we want to be doing – :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, 'Abbot says Fatty's a twat'. Does that make Fatty look like a twat? I think it makes me look like a twat for calling him a twat. :'''Ollie:''' Mm – it doesn't have to be you directly, does it? That's the point. :'''Hugh:''' Robyn? Come on, it's like giving a child a firework. :'''Ollie:''' Well, not Robyn. :'''Hugh:''' Actually that's where your bit of skirt – sorry, whatever the modern – your ho, your ho could actually be quite helpful. If you were just to leave some compromising bits of anti-Fatty documents, you know, just lying by the loo – :'''Ollie:''' Whoa, whoa. Just blatantly using Emma, I'm really not comfortable with that. :'''Hugh:''' Can I remind you, in the last 12 hours you've described her as being 'as mad as a jackdaw on crack', 'castratingly right-wing zealot', and also 'disappointingly below par in the blowjob department', so why the sudden outbreak of principle?<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Glenn:''' Are you still in the frame for ''[[wikipedia:Question_Time_(TV_series)|Question Time]]''? :'''Hugh:''' I am, but I think they're gonna go for Fatty to take advantage of the widescreen option. ''(Ollie laughs.)'' Any, erm – Are there any shuffle-y rumours? :'''Glenn:''' Yeah, yeah. Rob thinks Gerry's got the Foreign Office. :'''Ollie:''' The thing about this, moving offices, just from one place to another, completely different, it's just fucked as a system, isn't it? Because if you – it wouldn't happen in any other job – if you were, you know, Professor of Medieval English in Oxford and you were sitting in your study and somebody came through the door and went, 'Hey, guess what? You're now, er, Professor of Zoology, we want you in the other [[wikipedia:Quadrangle_(architecture)|quad]]', you know, that would be mental, you'd be sitting in a room like a stuffed tit just saying to people, 'How many Os in Zoology? I don't really know, this isn't really my field', and all of that information that you've built up over years and years about [[Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]] or whatever is of absolutely no use to you any more because Chaucer didn't really write about baboons. :'''Hugh:''' Ollie, these are very undergraduate concerns; my point is you don't have to be an expert to make decisions. :'''Glenn:''' That's why you have advisors, you twat. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, I am being serious, Glenn. :'''Glenn:''' Yes, so am I, you are a twat. :'''Hugh:''' I mean, the point is, a lot of knowledge is a dangerous thing. :''(Hugh's office phone rings; Glenn answers it)'' :'''Ollie:''' It's 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'. :'''Hugh:''' Well exactly, so a lot of knowledge is ''incredibly'' dangerous. ==Series 2, Episode 3== :''(A few moments ago, Hugh said that he does not want to close down schools for kids with special needs. He is now in his office discussing the Special Needs Bill with Glenn.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Glenn, the Special Needs Bill. With your, you know, particular interest, I can't do this. :'''Glenn:''' You know my views, you know. Inclusion is an illusion. It doesn't work. :'''Hugh:''' But you-you don't mind if I -- if I go ahead with it? :'''Glenn:''' Of course not. You know, look...you're only following orders. :'''Hugh:''' Oh, thanks. So you won't make me feel bad except by comparing me to a concentration camp guard? :'''Glenn:''' No. Right. Yeah. :'''Hugh:''' Now, tomorrow. Select Committee, that's Ballantine, isn't it? :''(But before Hugh and Glenn can continue discussing the Special Needs Bill, Ollie barges in and interrupts.)'' :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Hugh and Glenn)'' Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt. Who wants to go and watch Bollockvision? :'''Hugh:''' Bollockvision? :'''Ollie:''' Mr. Malcolm Tucker, turning it all the way up to eleven, down in the lobby. Come and have a look. :''(They all go out onto the balcony. On the other side of the atrium, on their floor, Malcolm is shouting at another Minister.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh, poor Keith. Malcolm must fucking love this place: Four ministers in one building. It's his dream, a one-stop bollock-shop. :'''Glenn:''' Trouble is, we're gonna be getting some of that in about an hour. :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. I don't know which is worse, watching him slowly rumble towards you like prostate cancer, or him appearing suddenly out of nowhere like a severe stroke. :''(Terri, whose father died after a stroke, turns towards Hugh.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh. How's your sister coping? <hr width="50%"/> :''(The Department of Social Affairs has been renamed "The Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship" -- DoSAC for short.)'' :'''Glenn:''' So, Hugh, this -- this new word, 'Citizenship.' Did the PM actually outline what it entails? :'''Hugh:''' Well, to be honest, I think he was making the reshuffle up as he-as he went along, and I think we were very lucky that 'Citizenship' was the first word that sprang to mind. Otherwise we could be the Department for Social Affairs and Woodland Folk. :'''Ollie:''' See, the problem is, though, Hugh, that there's been a bit of a rush with you not in place. Uh, you know, every department trying to unload all the stuff that they didn't want. But it's been like somebody driving a lorry down Whitehall, shouting "Bring out your shit." And they have and it's ended up at our door. :'''Hugh:''' So what are we getting? :'''Ollie:''' Citizenship basically involves, uh, cutting pensions to the Ghurkhas, rejigging the protocols for a rabies outbreak, some crap from Health about long-term care for the elderly that neither they nor we have any real idea about. :'''Glenn:''' And what to do with the Isle of Man. :'''Hugh:''' ''(annoyed)'' Just what I fucking need. Five new ways to lose my job. :''(Hugh then starts eyeing a plant that he's just noticed is right next to his desk.)'' :'''Hugh:''' Where did that come from? :'''Ollie:''' Oh, Malcolm sent that. :'''Hugh:''' It's far too big. Why-why did he send it? :'''Ollie:''' Uh, office warming present. :'''Hugh:''' So why did he send us a present? :'''Ollie:''' I don't know. :'''Hugh:''' Has Security checked this? :'''Ollie:''' What for? Tiny little terrorists? :'''Hugh:''' Yes. :'''Ollie:''' ''(annoyed)'' It's a plant! Yes?! :'''Hugh:''' ''(moving on)'' Okay, so...citizenshit. What we need to do is knock together some nice, touchy-feely, fondley, sneaky, hand-in-the-bra sort of policies. :'''Glenn:''' New bicycles for special constables, that sort of thing? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Ollie:''' Making special needs kids clean up graffiti? :'''Hugh:''' ''(displeased)'' Yeah, that's just very mean. :'''Ollie:''' Well, yes. Not, of course, as mean as making them spell "graffiti." That genuinely is very mean. :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Hugh, calmly but not happily)'' I'll go and have a word with Malcolm. :'''Ollie:''' Okay. :''(After Glenn leaves the office, Hugh tries to reprimand Ollie for making a joke about special needs kids.)'' :'''Hugh:''' You just took a shit with your clothes on, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Why? :'''Hugh:''' Glenn's boy, Peter. He went to a special needs school. :'''Ollie:''' Oh. :'''Hugh:''' Yep. :'''Ollie:''' ...Glenn's had sex? :'''Hugh:''' God, you're such a prick, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' It's just a joke! :'''Hugh:''' There's more to life, you know, than drinks parties at the Foreign Office and having [[wikipedia:Nick_Robinson_(journalist)|Nick Robinson]]'s mobile number on your fucking BlackBerry! :'''Ollie:''' Yes. All right, all right, fine. Sorry, Hugh. I feel for the guy. I had a girlfriend with special needs once, so I know. ''(smiles smugly)'' Luckily, I was able to fulfill them. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm joins Glenn and Hugh in the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' So did you enjoy the show? :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Malcolm, jokingly)'' You were magnificent, darling. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Yeah, should I phone Keith so that I can get his team to watch you bollock me now? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Hugh)'' No no no no. Have I got my bollocking face on? :'''Hugh:''' Well... :'''Malcolm:''' No. This is my bollocking face? :''(Malcolm shows Hugh his infamous "bollocking stare.")'' :'''Hugh:''' Oh, crikey, yes. Thanks for the pot plant, by the way. :'''Malcolm:''' Did I send that? :'''Hugh:''' As an office warming present. :'''Malcolm:''' Christ, she's a ''great'' P.A., isn't she, Sam? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. :'''Malcolm:''' She always remembers the little people. ''(looking at the plant)'' Look at the size of that. Fuck, you could fucking crucify somebody on that. ''(back to Glenn and Hugh)'' So what do you think of the new building, eh? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, I can't wait to move upstairs, actually, because I don't really like the glass walls on-on, on this floor. I just feel a bit exposed. :'''Glenn:''' Like a whore in a Reeperbahn window. :'''Terri:''' ''(on the phone, calling out to Glenn)'' Glenn, it's Ollie. He wants you to go through and clarify the Citizenship brief. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Terri)'' How much, love? :'''Terri:''' Sorry? :'''Glenn:''' Okay, I'm on it. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Glenn)'' I'll catch you later. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Hugh, smiling)'' I like your tan, by the way. :'''Hugh:''' Thank you. :'''Malcolm:''' Have you declared it? Staying at the villa of an influential friend? :'''Hugh:''' I-I haven't got any influential friends, Malcolm. You are my only influential friend. :'''Malcolm:''' Oh yeah. And I'm not really your friend. :'''Hugh:''' You're not really my friend. :'''Malcolm:''' So this, uh, Super Schools Bill... :'''Hugh:''' Yep. :'''Malcolm:''' You don't think it's so super, do you? :''(Malcolm gives Hugh the "bollocking stare." Again.)'' :'''Hugh:''' You're doing it now. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(unflinching)'' What? :'''Hugh:''' That's your bollocking face. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Hugh are now discussing -- or is it arguing over? -- the Super Schools Bill.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' You know, it's great that you get all misty-eyed over Glenn's kid. But no one's trying to fuck over special needs kids. :'''Hugh:''' R-Really? Really? Before I went away, I consulted an expert, Mark-Mark Ryan, and he... :'''Malcolm:''' The LSE education guy? And what did that sandal-wearing nonce have to say? :'''Hugh:''' What he said was that closing down special needs schools and putting needy kids into mainstream education is a lousy idea! :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but I've got an expert who will ''deny'' that. :'''Hugh:''' And SEN parents want the special schools kept open. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, my-my expert would totally oppose that. :'''Hugh:''' Who is your expert? :'''Malcolm:''' I have no idea, but I can get one by this afternoon. You see, the thing is you have spoken to the wrong expert. You've got to ask the right expert. And you've got to know what an expert's going to advise you before he advises you. Hugh, whether you like this or not, you are gonna have to promote this bill. So what I'm gonna do is -- I'm gonna get you another expert, yeah? :'''Hugh:''' ''(reluctantly)'' OK. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And so, on Malcolm's say-so, Hugh and Glenn are now meeting with Mr. Roy Smedley, a special needs children expert, to discuss the inclusion of special needs kids in mainstream schools.)'' :'''Hugh:''' But surely, Mr. Smedley, inclusion has been shown to fail the most vulnerable SEN children. :'''Roy Smedley:''' When inclusion's done badly, yes. Yes, uh, you're gonna get bad results. I mean, that's a given. :'''Glenn:''' ''(wearily)'' Inclusion is an illusion. :'''Hugh:''' Mark-Mark Ryan from the LSE was saying that when the special schools do get it right, that the parents of SEN children absolutely fucking flock to... :'''Roy Smedley:''' You spoke to Mark Ryan? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah, well, some expert advice, so... :'''Roy Smedley:''' ''(mockingly)'' OK. Expert advice from Mark Ryan? :'''Hugh:''' Yeah. You have a problem with Mark Ryan? :'''Roy Smedley:''' In educational circles, he's-he's a bit of a joke. That's another given. :'''Hugh:''' Is it? :''(Suddenly, Hugh's computer beeps with an e-mail alert.)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''(responding to the alert)'' Ah, sorry. It's just that I'm expecting, uh, something quite important. :'''Hugh:''' Is our-Is our e-mail up and running? :'''Glenn:''' No. No, no, this is my hotmail. :'''Hugh:''' ''(to Roy Smedley)'' Can you-Sorry, can you excuse me just, um... :''(Roy doesn't mind Hugh being a moment. BUT...Hugh sneaks over to Terri's desk computer since she's not at her desk. Hugh then sends an e-mail to Glenn...or at least who he thinks is HIS pal, Glenn Cullen. The e-mail says "Christ Alive!

Yeah, there it is. :''(Malcolm, of course, thinks the story is funny.)'' :'''Nicola:''' It's not funny! It's not even accurate, because technically I was fourth. So, really, they should have said, "Fourth in the Sack race." I think we should complain to the PCC. :'''Malcolm:''' Look, stop worrying: the PM is not going to sack you after a week. Sacked after twelve months, looks like you've fucked up; sacked after a week, looks like ''he's'' fucked up. :'''Nicola:''' I'm not doing ''terribly'', am I? :''(beat)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(looking out of the car window)'' I love the way that they've sandblasted everything around here.

I usually just dial 1-1-Hate. :'''Nicola:''' Malcolm, do you know? :'''Ollie:''' Obviously, he knows. :'''Glenn:''' No, he ''doesn't'' know. :''(Nicola decides to come clean to Malcolm.)'' :'''Nicola:''' There has been a massive irretrievable data loss.

E-fucking-nough. You need to learn to shut your fucking cave, right? Today, you have laid your first big fat egg of solid fuck.

It's a perfectly legitimate question. How can you be inspired out of poverty? :'''Nicola:''' Okay, you are being cynical, but anyway, we'll park that. Um, one of our initiatives is to designate certain people as fourth sector pathfinders. Now they would be pillars of a normal community. :'''Richard:''' Are you talking about "have-a-go heroes," for example? :'''Nicola:''' No, we're talking about everyday heroes. :'''Richard:''' I assume you'd want to avoid Charles Bronson-style vigilantes? :'''Nicola:''' ''(chuckling)'' Oh, yes.

Did you prep him with this shit, yeah? :'''Stewart:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah. The last thing I said to him was go in there and bomb. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(chuckling)'' Well, it fucking worked. Usually, he comes across like, you know, just another third-rate Donald Sinden. But tonight, he's like a ventriloquist's dummy that's fucking falling to bits. :'''Stewart:''' Yeah, it's really nice to see you without those veins in your temples throbbing. :'''Malcolm:''' 'Cause you have really got your work cut out with him, haven't you? Look at the hair. You've got to do something. He's like fucking Swiss Toni. :'''Stewart:''' Yeah. Well, this is radio, Malcolm, but it's great to be getting this straight from you. Thanks. :'''Janice:''' Look, do you guys have to make so much noise? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Janice)'' I don't know if they told you this on your training day, love, but this is fucking soundproofed, that, they can't hear you. I mean, we're like Ted Moult to them. :'''Janice:''' Look, can you please get out? :'''Malcolm:''' No. Actually, we -- we are entitled to be in here. That lot, they should all be in here. All the political advisors should be in here. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm brings EVERYBODY into the Control Room!)'' :'''Malcolm:''' I just want to add to the party atmosphere. I'm perfectly entitled to this. :''(While Malcolm is doing this, Stewart is reading a text message off of Janice's computer screen)'' :'''Stewart:''' Gather round, everybody. There is a text here from Tim in Ruislip. This is what Tim's text says: "Nicola is a hypocrite. JFU also donate to the government. In fact, they donate twice as much as they do to the opposition." :'''Richard:''' ''(in the studio)'' Can I just say to the listeners at home, I have no idea what's going on now. We're in a studio, there's another room next door... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(pushing everybody out)'' We have to get out, right? Okay. Let's get, you know... :'''Stewart:''' What do you reckon, Malcolm? It seems like a big issue to me. :'''Malcolm:''' It's not. We're going to move on to piercings. :'''Stewart:''' ''(to Janice)'' Janice, I'm sure in the interest of balance, you'll want to... :'''Janice:''' Right, can you shut up, right? Malcolm's right, I decide what is news. :'''Malcolm:''' Absolutely. :'''Janice:''' And this is fucking news! :'''Malcolm:''' Bullshit! Right. See this here? ''(Malcolm goes to the "Shut Down" button.)'' You do it and I will press this fucking button. :'''Janice:''' Don't fucking threaten me! :'''Malcolm:''' This switch... :'''Janice:''' Richard, Tim in Ruislip. :'''Malcolm:''' You do that and I will... <hr width="50%"/> :''(Richard reads the text from "Tim in Ruislip," which turns the whole Murray-Mannion debate on its' head.)'' :'''Richard:''' We've just received this text message from Tim in Ruislip... :'''Stewart:''' ''(smiling)'' Ooh. She's actually put it through. :'''Richard:''' And he says, "Nicola is a hypocrite. JFU also donate to the government. In fact, they donate twice as much as they do to the opposition." :''(Malcolm is very upset with Janice for sending Tim's text message through to Richard's computer in the studio.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That's your fucking career over, right, OK, you're fucking dead. And those three little words, 'Tim in [[wikipedia:Ruislip|Ruislip]]', are the fucking nails in your coffin, dear. ''(imitates hammering)'' Tim. In. Ruislip. Tim in fucking Ruislip. And as for Tim in fucking – :'''Janice:''' Yeah, okay, can you stop ''fucking saying that, please?'' :'''Malcolm:''' – FUCKING, fucking Ruislip, he's fucking dead as well! That fucking texting coward. Give me his number. What's his fucking number? Give me the fucking number of Tim in Ruislip. :'''Janice:''' ''(to her assistant)'' Erase it. Take it off the screen now. :'''Malcolm:''' If you don't give me his fucking number, do you know what I'm gonna have to do? I'm gonna have to fucking go to fucking Ruislip, and fucking snap the thumb and forefinger off of every single person I see, who I think resembles the kind of wanker that would be walking around in this day and fucking age with a name like fucking Tim! How do you think that sounds, huh? :'''Stewart:''' Quite, quite mad. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(whispering to Stewart)'' You and I have to have a word. :'''Stewart:''' ''(to Janice and her assistant)'' I think he wants me to step outside.<hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm is bossing everybody around, acting like he's the President of the BBC.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to the "Piercings Man")'' Right.

Come on. :'''Stewart:''' ''(to Piercings Man)'' He doesn't actually work here. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to everybody else)'' Vamoose, you lot! Fucking vamoose! ''(to Piercings Man)'' Come on, Johnny fucking Depp. Get in here. :'''Piercings Man:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Get off! :'''Malcolm:''' I'll fucking shove a fucking magnet down your throat and watch your fucking face implode! Get in there! :''(The Piercings Man comes into the studio)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Here he is. Piercings. In you go. Sit down there, son, no problem, go ahead. :'''Richard:''' Now, I assume you're here for the piercings debate... <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm Tucker vs. Stewart Pearson: The Spin Doctor Showdown!)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Here's the fucking thing. Nobody talks about fucking dodgy donors, okay? Because it makes everybody look bad. :'''Stewart:''' Okay, I'll go with a different angle, then. How do you think it would land with your female voters if they were to find out that Tom Rudd forced his secretary into having an abortion? :'''Malcolm:''' That was her own personal choice, and by the way, it wasn't his. ''(whispers)'' Over here. :''(Malcolm and Stewart walk away from the studio)'' :'''Stewart:''' Wow! So him paying for a private clinic, then, was just because he's such a nice man? :'''Malcolm:''' He IS a nice man. What about your nice man at Central Planning, eh? The one who got a bit carried away and fucking slapped his kids about a little bit too much? Fucking broke the skin! But he wasn't such a nice man, was he? But I suppose that's just part of your "common sense checklist," yeah. All they need is a good slap and do please remember to leave your fucking rings on! :'''Stewart:''' You go check your facts, Malcolm. That was a domestic accident and nothing more. :'''Malcolm:''' Domestic accident, yeah, 'cause he's got fucking hands the size of fucking doors! :'''Stewart:''' Oh, you want to talk about hardmen, Malcolm, yeah? Now I know you've got to be hard to be a chief whip, but really, coke dealing at university? :'''Malcolm:''' Oh! Please, please! :'''Stewart:''' Hey, am I right in thinking he's now godfather to one of the PM's kids, yeah? :'''Malcolm:''' Listen, you know what I have got at the back of my fucking filing cabinet? I've got a fucking photograph that I've been waiting for a fucking ''rainy day'' to show everyone, which is a photograph of ''your'' fucking [[wikipedia:Shadow_Chancellor_of_the_Exchequer|Shadow Chancellor]], at one of his fucking parties, dressed up in fucking bra, suspenders, and fucking ''blackface!'' What's his defence gonna be, hey, when I email that to the fucking Sun? "Oh, well I am just de Shadow Chancellor"? :'''Stewart:''' Malcolm, he won't have a defense, because you haven't got that picture... :'''Malcolm:''' I have! :'''Stewart:''' Because that didn't happen! However, I do have a statement from a rent boy... :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, that's very useful for you. You can claim that against your expenses, can't you? :'''Stewart:''' Oh, yeah, funny, very funny. :'''Malcolm:''' And you'll get that for free. Is that one of the perks of your fucking job? :'''Stewart:''' No, listen. His statement says...he will swear that one of your prominent back-bench MPs paid him to sit on his chest! :'''Malcolm:''' DON'T! <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Stewart actually reach a compromise.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Right, look, this is out of order, okay? :'''Stewart:''' Here's the deal. We both, both make statements saying that our guys in there, they were not in possession of all the facts. Hmm? But we're looking into it. :'''Malcolm:''' You'd do that? Hang your own guy out to fucking dry? :'''Stewart:''' What? Peter Mannion, MP? Yeah! Old guard? We're not sending him to DoSac to fatten him up. We're putting him out to pasture, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' We should just go home. :'''Stewart:''' We can do that. We can just seal this in. Contain the toxicity. Chernobyl FM. :'''Malcolm:''' I mean, you carry on like this and I might not find you utterly fucking contemptible. :'''Stewart:''' That's an incentive. I'll get my bag. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm listens to the radio as he leaves in Nicola's car.)'' :'''Richard:''' Andrew in Suffolk writes, 'The body is a temple. Temples aren't made of metal. Case closed.' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola's driver)'' You couldn't turn that to [[wikipedia:Magic_(Radio)|Magic FM]], could you mate? Otherwise I'm gonna have to tear my eyelids off and scrunch them up into fucking earplugs. <hr width="50%"/> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Phil:''' You just start off about how great the City used to be, then how it's not so great now, and then end with a joke.

What was it last night, then? Candlelit annivorcery dinner for one? :''(Terri enters the scene carrying a large plant.)'' :'''Terri:''' Morning. :'''Ollie:''' Hello. (Ollie's curious...) Terri, what actually are you up to? Are you still drunk? :'''Terri:''' No, I had to get in early anyway, because this BBC man's coming. :''(Ollie notices that Terri's wearing trainers!) :'''Ollie:''' Are you wearing trainers?

I'm clinging on to that for dear life, I tell you. :'''Terri:''' Well, it will dehydrate you. :'''Nicola:''' Good-o. :'''Ollie:''' Mojito Murray, they now call her. You know, they had to install speed bumps at the bar. She's like Gazza at Euro '96. :''(Ollie mimics somebody getting drunk.)'' :'''Nicola:''' I really love the division of labour in this place. I like the way the women do the heavy lifting and the men do the heavy sarcasm. <hr width="50%"/> :''(While Nicola is conducting an interview with a BBC reporter regarding Nicola's launch of her Fourth Sector Initiative, Glenn and Ollie are discussing the Prime Minister's world tour.)'' :'''Ollie:''' So why is the PM doing this world tour thing? What's the point of that? I mean, he's not easy on the world stage, is he? He walks like his dick's made of glass, you know? Is it a Malc plan? :'''Glenn:''' Could be? Or, you know, Steve Fleming's back, it could be him. :'''Ollie:''' Well, if he's back, it really is the end, isn't it? What are you gonna do when the shit goes down, then? :'''Glenn:''' Oh, plenty of options, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' You could be a Beefeater. Do you want to be a Beefeater? :'''Glenn:''' Don't you worry about me, Ollie. I've got contacts. :'''Ollie:''' What do you mean, "Don't worry about me"? Are you big in Japan or something? :''(Glenn gives Ollie a wide, sly smile.)'' :'''Ollie:''' What? What's that smile for? Do you need winding? :''(And then, Glenn shares a BIG surprise with Ollie.)'' :'''Glenn:''' I'm going to stand in the election. :'''Ollie:''' (surprised indeed) Are you...Are you serious? :'''Glenn:''' I should hear later today whether or not I've got enough support for the Ilford East long list. :'''Ollie:''' Fucking hell. You on a massive poster. What's your slogan going to be? "He's old and sullen, vote for Cullen." How about that? :'''Glenn:''' Actually...I'm pretty excited about this. :'''Ollie:''' Sort of hard to take on board. It's like being told your dad's gay or something.

You're just stealing from the Education Department and pumping it out as a DoSAC idea. This Back On Track Policy that you launched at your little chimps' tea party last night? Well, that sounds very similar -- ''Very, very sim'' -- Almost identical in fact -- to my Unify Policy that I ''was'' working on here until I was booted out by Knicker-Face.

It didn't fuck -- It didn't fucking send! :'''Terri:''' Ah! :'''Malcolm:''' It didn't send, right? :'''Terri:''' There you go. You just owe me an apology, that's all. :'''Malcolm:''' (insulted) I'm sorry? :'''Nicola:''' That's the one. :'''Malcolm:''' That wasn't an apology. That was a "pardon?"

I had 500 quid on you being the new Foreign Secretary. :'''Ollie:''' Uh, it's a great loss to regional politics, for sure. :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Nicola)'' By flying so close to your bright Sun like Icarus, I have crashed to the Earth and died. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Ladies and Gentlemen, the dirty protest is now over; please mop up your shit and fuck off home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' Make sure fucking Nicola doesn't top herself, eh? :'''Terri:''' Yeah, sure. :'''Malcolm:''' Make sure that Ben does.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Ollie:''' What are you gonna do when the shit goes down, then? :'''Glenn:''' Oh, plenty of options, Ollie. :'''Ollie:''' Really, have you really, you've got plenty of options, have you? ''(Glenn nods.)'' What are those options, let's see, you can't – you can't hold a golf sale sign because of your back, you can't be a prostitute 'cause your waterworks aren't up to it, you can't be a drugs mule, 'cause of your arse, that's too slack, isn't it, so what does that leave you with, you could be – Local weatherman would be perfect; or, er, you could run a whelk stall, how about that? You could be a dinner lady or a [[wikipedia:Speed_bump#Speed_bumps|sleeping policeman]], actually on the road: just lie down, let the cars – You could become one of those people who manipulates their cock and balls into funny shapes for the paying public, it would be nice for them to have a little run out. Or, you could just basically walk into a hospice, and wait to kark it.<hr width="50%" /> :''(deleted scene)'' :'''Malcolm:''' That's from me, Cack Efron. It's a coded message basically telling you that, if you ignore me or my fucking calls again, I'll fucking rip your head off, right?

We've all got rabies. :'''Nicola:''' ''(on her cell phone)'' So, basically, just get crisps shaped like rockets, rainbow-colored ice cream, you know the stuff that all the other kids have at their parties. :''(MORE big bottles of water!)'' :'''Glenn:''' (surprised) Blimey! More? What are we doing? Opening a dolphinarium? :'''Nicola:''' (off her phone) Good. Sorted. So...Sorry about that.

''(beat)'' Doesn't it sound like nepotism? :'''Nicola:''' (Not appreciating Terri's criticism) Like, in the way people think Russ and Diane Abbott are related? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Terri:''' Possibly. :'''Glenn:''' And Bill Murray's her father? :'''Terri:''' Okay, I'll level with you. I don't like him. :'''Nicola:''' (annoyed) Who would you suggest then, Terri? :'''Terri:''' Paula Radcliffe. :'''Ollie:''' ''Pooey Paula?'' That's not healthy. Shitting in your own pants, that's definitely not a healthy image. :'''Glenn:''' She could demonstrate how to do the Hop, Shit and Jump. :'''Terri:''' That is very unfair. It only happened once. :'''Ollie:''' Once is all you need! Imagine if Bruce Forsyth, beginning of ''Strictly Come Dancing...'' (Ollie pretends to poop) "There we go!" You'd never hear the end of that. And quite rightly! :'''Nicola:''' Terri, can we move on from your hatred of Andy Murray, and can we start trailing a major DoSAC initiative?

You're still the star of the show. :'''Malcolm:''' It's not for me to say, darling. :'''Geoffrey:''' No, you're still the star of the show. Yeah, until they start wheeling out the celebrities. What's next, Malcolm? Ant and Dec as the new fucking litter tsars?

Hang on, let me just get him off hold. :'''Nicola:''' It really pisses me off! The fucking phones in this whole -- Andy! Hello! It's Nicola Murray, yes!

Andy Murray. :'''Ollie:''' Oh, good. We are literally confirming him as we speak. :'''Malcolm:''' Ditch him. We can't go with celebrities. Right? It's just gonna look bad. :'''Ollie:''' Why? :'''Malcolm:''' We're gonna look desperate, all right? :'''Ollie:''' Well, uh...Steve Fleming likes the idea. :'''Malcolm:''' Never mind what Mummy says. Just do what Daddy says, right? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, whilst you're on, um, just, um...there's another thing. Uh, Mummy has asked us to publish the crime stats as part of the Transparent Government initiative. Is that all right with Daddy? :'''Malcolm:''' It's fine. :'''Ollie:''' Really? Because, um, Nicola's got that baffled, panicky look like a child on the ghost train. :'''Malcolm:''' Give me a second while I look up my little file of things I really don't give a fuck about. And here we have under the letter N, we've got "nail-bombing golf clubs," there is, uh, the National Trust, there is Newcastle...Nicola Murray. Yes. She's still there. So fucking can Andy Murray and just get on with the fucking crime stats. :'''Nicola:''' ''(still on the phone with Andy)'' I'll make sure Kate liaises with my press whiz kid, uh, Terri Coverley. She's a woman. But listen, if there is anything else we can do for you, ''please'' don't hesitate to call. Dare I say it, we are ''here to serve'', (laughing) if you'll excuse the pun. All right, Andy. Take care. Bye. <hr width="50%"/> :''(But now, Ollie has to give Nicola the bad news...)'' :'''Ollie:''' Malcolm says we have to drop him. :'''Nicola:''' (in disbelief) What? :'''Ollie:''' Andy. He's not in, he's now out. Apparently, according to Malcolm, sent to bed without any barley water. :'''Nicola:''' I mean, he's a fucking tennis player! We're not asking Shane MacGowan! ''Why?'' :'''Ollie:''' It's nothing personal. He just said bringing in celebrities looks desperate. He said it's the sign of a dying government. :'''Nicola:''' We are a dying government! Our hair's falling out, and we're coughing up blood, and our kids are asking us to change the will! :'''Ollie:''' Look, he was quite clear about this. He said just, you know, kill it. Kitten, breeze block, sack, canal. :'''Nicola:''' Oh, I can imagine him being clear about it. Right. We've gotta get on to -- ''(to Terri)'' ''You've'' gotta get on to... :'''Terri:''' Me? :'''Nicola:''' ...Andy Murray's people and find a polite way of saying, "Piss off, Andy. Apparently, you're too well-known to front our public awareness campaign." :'''Terri:''' Right. :''(But Glenn has some GOOD news on the crime stats.)'' :'''Glenn:''' Right! Good news is I have done all that pile and that's in the system. :'''Ollie:''' Excellent. :'''Glenn:''' (stretching his back) Oh, fuck me! :''(But then, Glenn sees a trolley-full of more crime stats headed his way!)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''What the hell's THIS?'' :'''Ollie:''' It appears to be a trolley-full of crime stats. :'''Glenn:''' "Vandalism?" "Bicycle theft?" Oh, this is ridiculous! :''(And just when he says THAT, Glenn kicks open a box of crime stats!)'' :'''Ollie:''' Well, that's given us an unexpected head start, well done. I would kill you but I'd have to add you to the fucking figures. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicola:''' ''(to Terri)'' Okay. Think about what you're gonna say. :'''Terri:''' Yeah. Okay, I've done that. :'''Nicola:''' What? Already? Is that enough time? :'''Terri:''' ''(on the phone)'' Kate. Hello. Uh, Terri Coverley. Yes. Yeah, we're thrilled about Andy being on board. :'''Nicola:''' ''(whispering to Terri)'' Get on with it. :'''Terri:''' (stammering) No. I'm not actually saying that it's... :''(Nicola then sees Steve Fleming entering the room. Again.)'' :'''Nicola:''' (still whispering) Shit! End the call. End the call. It's Mustache Sally. Fleming! Steve Fleming's here! Put the phone down! :'''Steve:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Ah, Nicola Murray! How are the crime stats coming along? :'''Nicola:''' It's not easy, Steve, as you can see. But Glenn and Ollie are on top of it. :'''Ollie:''' "Other theft?" What the fuck is other theft? :'''Glenn:''' I don't know what other theft is. :'''Steve:''' If you want to stay late, or pull an all-nighter, if you think it'd help – :'''Glenn:''' You want us to work all through the night on this? :'''Steve:''' It would be very much appreciated upstairs. :'''Ollie:''' Hah, well: I'm an atheist. :'''Steve:''' ''(laughs)'' By the Prime Minister. I did get the joke, by the way. :'''Ollie''' ''(mouthing)'': Well done. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm is back from holiday in this scene, and he's having a warm and friendly chat with his loyal assistant, Sam.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' (happily) Good morning, good morning, good morning! I'm back! I'm sorry I left my sombrero at home, but here I am. What do you think of the tan, huh? What do you think of this shade? I call it "Custard Cancer." (Malcolm gets a delivery.) Oh, thank you very much. :'''Sam:''' Where did you go? :'''Malcolm:''' I went to, um, Easter Island. I thought I'd spend my time there re-chiseling all the statues, so that they'd look like Westlife. How about a coffee? :'''Sam:''' Oh, I've sent you a link to Andy Murray's website. There's, uh, something you should see. :'''Malcolm:''' Andy Murray's website? :''(While Sam leaves Malcolm's office to get him a cup of coffee, Malcolm reads about the big news on Andy Murray's website...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Andy says, "Just agreed to lead the government's Healthy Choices campaign.

Nicola Murray? :''(Nicola nods her head "Yes.")'' :'''Terri:''' Ah. Secretary of State for... :'''Nicola:''' That's right. I'm Secretary of State. So why has a sports personality launched my policy on his fucking website? :'''Terri:''' Ah! No, I know. I know exactly why that is. :'''Nicola:''' You didn't make the phone call, did you? :'''Terri:''' Well, uh, yes. :'''Ollie:''' Nicola, um, in other really bad news -- Good morning, by the way. :'''Glenn:''' (on the phone) This is about the crime stats, yeah? :'''Ollie:''' Yeah, some of the crime stats that we published, as it turns out, were unverified and not ready for being in the public domain. Uh, Marianne Swift from ''The Mail...'' :'''Nicola:''' Oh, Swine-Face Swift. :'''Ollie:''' That's the one. She noticed, uh, a drop in the figures for aggravated burglary in the last quarter. Whereas when she checked it out... :'''Nicola:''' There was no drop. :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. :'''Nicola:''' Right. So Swine-Face Swift and her piggy hack-hog colleagues... :'''Ollie:''' Exactly. So we're getting a lot of, uh, oinking on the phones. So basically what that means is that the department -- well, essentially the royal you, um, seem to have massaged the crime figures. :'''Nicola:''' Great. Thank you, Steve fucking "Ew, Nicola!" Fleming! :'''Ollie:''' Yup. He is a fucking...ninny, isn't he? :'''Nicola:''' Bring my dispatch boxes. :'''Ollie:''' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steve:''' Malcolm! :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, there he is, [[wikipedia:Bob_Carolgees|Bob Carolgees]]; how's the wee comedy dog? :'''Steve:''' Welcome back. Good holiday? I hear your kitchen's lovely at this time of year. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well actually, I went to Spain. :'''Steve:''' Oh, nice. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah yeah, I went to Malaga, it was lovely. I was golfing with [[Stephen Hawking]], he's fucking shit. He lied about his handicap. Mind you, I never had to hire a golf buggy, I just sat in his lap. :'''Steve:''' Please. Why do we have to be like this? All this negative energy. Come on! :'''Malcolm:''' What? :'''Steve:''' Well, we've got to work together. So, you know... :'''Malcolm:''' So what? I mean, that doesn't mean we have to like each other, does it? :'''Steve:''' No, I mean... :''(Someone's trying to get past Malcolm and Steve.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to the passer-by)'' Sorry. (He politely lets him pass through.) :'''Steve:''' We both know we don't like each other, everyone knows that, we are the Gallagher brothers of politics. :'''Malcolm:''' How does that work? Does that mean that I'm [[Noel Gallagher|the semi-talented songwriter]] and you're [[Liam Gallagher|the fucking loutish prick]]? That's a lovely analogy. :'''Steve:''' You were the one who forced me out of the sodding band. ''(chuckles)'' Come on, let's have a chat. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm and Steve continue their unfriendly chat in an office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' You were asked to leave the fucking band. And you wouldn't fucking go, would you? You had to hang on in there, like a [[wikipedia:Limpet|limpet]] up a whale's arse. :'''Steve:''' Why do you thrive so much on being disliked? :'''Malcolm:''' People hate me? Good! Bring it on. Do you know what they say about you? :'''Steve:''' I'm sure you're going to tell me, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' I'll tell you ''exactly'' what people think about you! :'''Steve:''' All right, go on then! :'''Malcolm:''' ''Fuck-all!!'' :'''Steve:''' Oh, do they? ''FUCK-ALL?'' :'''Malcolm:''' People have ''no'' fucking opinion about you! You're like fucking [[wikipedia:Special K|Special K]] or fucking the Moody Blues. That's you, fucking white noise in the background—Funny? Is that funny? Do you find that funny? :'''Steve:''' No, I don't find anything you're saying funny whatsoever. And I'll tell you a home truth, Malcolm Tucker: The people who are really hated in this country, the people who are really hated, are us. This government. How about we stand together? Let's both be team players, shall we? :''(But then, Malcolm's cell phone beeps.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Were you the Einstein that OK'd this fucking Andy Murray thing at DoSAC? Because I've got ''The Telegraph'' on here. (Steve's cell phone then beeps.)

Glenn with one, one N. :'''Terri:''' (on her phone) We have actually decided to go in a different direction from Andy. :''(Steve and Malcolm have entered the room, both making a beeline for Nicola's office.)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Good holiday? :'''Malcolm:''' Shut it, you fucking hairdresser. :'''Ollie:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Got any photos? :'''Malcolm:''' I've got a photo of you in a minute with your cock nailed to the desk. Hey, you want to see something that's truly worth photographing? Look at Steve Fleming at work, eh? That's the real master of spin. He's [[wikipedia:Jimi Hendrix|Spinny fucking Hendrix]]. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Steve & Malcolm are confronting Nicola in her office...much to Nicola's dismay...)'' :'''Steve:''' Nicola, you and your department have screwed up! :'''Malcolm''' ''(entering)'': I'd like to agree with the previous speaker, only adding the words 'fucking royally'. :'''Nicola:''' Oh Jesus, am I being gang-bollocked? :'''Malcolm:''' Andy Murray's [[wikipedia:Tim_Henman|Henman]]-fisting us in the press. We can't have that – :'''Steve:''' Well, with undue respect, Malcolm, the crime stats cock-up is a much bigger deal. :'''Nicola:''' This is such a great double act, isn't it? Good Cock, Bad Cock! :'''Malcolm:''' I'll tell you what, why don't you go first, mate? I need a wazz. ''(leaves)'' :'''Steve:''' I like you, Nicola, I quite like you. But darling, I've gotta ask you, what the bloody hell happened? :'''Nicola:''' Like you asked, we published the crime figures from 2004 up to the last quarter. :'''Steve:''' Yes, up to the last quarter but not up to and ''INCLUDING the last quarter, you dozy mare!'' :'''Nicola:''' 'Up to' includes the thing you're going up to. Right? If you say count up to 20, it means count up to ''and include'' the number 20! :'''Steve:''' The events leading up to the Second World War do ''not'' include the Second World War! :'''Nicola:''' We haven't got time for a semantic argument about this. :''(Malcolm returns.)'' :'''Steve:''' Listen, sweetheart – :'''Nicola:''' ''Do not'' fucking call me sweetheart! :'''Malcolm:''' I think you'll find that Steve was addressing me: the 'tache is a bit of a giveaway. :'''Steve:''' I will draft a statement. :'''Malcolm:''' You fucking will not draft any fucking statement! :'''Steve:''' I've been minding the shop! :'''Malcolm:''' You were fucking minding the shop, and what happened?

Malcolm. Malcolm. MALCOLM! (Steve starts laughing uncomfortably) Sorry about this, everybody. :''(Malcolm is happy to shut out Steve, but he's still visibly annoyed.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Goodbye. Give my regards to the rest of the fucking Village People. :''(But then, Terri knocks on the office door.)'' :'''Terri:''' (outside the door) Sorry, Nicola, Mal--um, excuse me. It's Andy Murray. He's-he's insisting on talking to you. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Talk to him. :'''Nicola:''' What? :'''Malcolm:''' Get him back on board. Fucking talk to him. :'''Nicola:''' NO! :'''Malcolm:''' (whispering) Yes. :'''Nicola:''' You cannot be serious! :'''Malcolm:''' Was that an attempt at a joke? :'''Nicola:''' You told me to kill it! I've killed it! :'''Malcolm:''' Right now, some photos in the papers of a very boring man with tight white shorts on is gonna be a very pleasant distraction from Steve's fucking crime stats abortion. :'''Nicola:''' If we need a fucking celebrity, can we try somebody else? Steve Redgrave. :'''Malcolm:''' He's a boring fuck! :'''Nicola:''' Lewis Hamilton. :'''Malcolm:''' Fucking boring, boring fuck. And fucking drives a car. :'''Nicola:''' Chris Boardman. :'''Malcolm:''' Fucking cyclist! Are you fucking mental? ''Everybody'' hates cyclists! Even fucking cyclists hate fucking cyclists! Plus, ''he's'' a boring fuck! :'''Nicola:''' I cannot... :'''Terri:''' (''still'' outside the office) Paula Radcliffe? :'''Nicola:''' No, she shat in the street! :'''Malcolm:''' And she's a boring fuck as well. :'''Nicola:''' How about we just launch the policy without a celebrity? :'''Malcolm:''' (sarcastically) Oh, great idea. "Hello, there. Hi, everyone. I, Nicola Murray, would like to say to you that even though you don't fucking know me from fucking Adam, I think you should cut down on carbs." <hr width="50%"/> :''(Meanwhile, Steve is trying to turn a negative into a positive. He wants to get Glenn and Ollie to fix the crime stats crisis.)'' :'''Steve:''' Lads, let's get this crime stats cock-up sorted. What have you both got so far? :'''Glenn:''' Well, actually, now we've been trying to think of a replacement for Andy Murray. Some of the women footballers...uh, Jessica Clark, or Sue Smith. Or Faye White. :''(Steve's starts smiling, but he's getting annoyed.)'' :'''Steve:''' I ''cannot believe'' the energy going into Andy Murray! (Starts laughing again) I can't! :''(Steve starts leaving DoSAC.)'' :'''Glenn:''' ''(to Ollie)'' What's his problem. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm is talking on his cell phone while heading to his office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Just try and wrap your gin-addled brain about this, right? I ''did'' say I was at the heart of government. But when... :''(Steve Fleming is already in Malcolm's office.)'' :'''Steve:''' Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' (on his phone) Excuse me. :'''Steve:''' I need to talk to you. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Steve)'' One second, please. ''(back to his phone)'' Listen, when that...When that incident occurred, I was on holiday. Are you saying to me that my wee caravan's a great fucking waste of time? And my stupid fucking wing mirror extensions? :'''Steve:''' (pointing to the TV) The crime stats and Andy Murray, Malc. It's a double fault. :'''Malcolm:''' ''(answering a knock at his door)'' Listen, if you are not a prostitute or a pizza guy, fuck off! ''(to Steve)'' Steve, listen, could you eat or fuck whatever's at the door on your fucking way out, please? ''(to a colleague)'' No thanks. ''(back on his phone)'' How can I be held responsible? What, for what? I've created a what around the government? I've created a vibe? Listen, son, the only fucking vibe you have to worry about is the one that your wife hides in her knicker drawer. ''(back to Steve)'' I am on top of this, okay? :'''Steve:''' Oh, fine, fine. You know, I'm just saying I'll gladly lend you a hand if you feel the need to keep your head down. :'''Malcolm:''' I don't need to keep my head down, because unlike yourself, I don't give blowjobs to truckers. :''(Another knock at Malcolm's office door...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' I SAID FUCK OFF! :''(The door opens, and -- SURPRISE! It's Julius Nicholson!)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, it's Lord Nicholson! What an enormous pleasure this is! :'''Julius:''' (with a big smile) Well, in fact, it's, um, the Right Honorable the Lord Nicholson of Arnage. And the kissing of feet may commence! :'''Malcolm:''' You got all your stuff ready for your official lording ceremony? Have you got your mink thong and your ermine colostomy bag? :'''Julius:''' No, I don't, no. I have to hire that, unfortunately. I can't wear it on the Tube or the bus, but I would. It would be great larks, but there we go. :'''Steve:''' How about a coffee? Coffee? :'''Julius:''' Well, um, if there's coffee going, I'd never say no to a nice cup of coffee. :'''Malcolm:''' Do you not drink coffee anymore? Is it all port and swan's blood these days? :'''Julius:''' Swan's blood. That does sound nice. No, I'm just sort of passing through, because obviously we need to start booting up this crime stats inquiry. But it's in effect an investigation into the facts. But I thought since I was passing through... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, but you don't have to talk to me about that, do you? 'Cause I was on my holidays then. Did you get my postcard? :'''Julius:''' Well, I will speak to whomsoever I need to speak to, holiday or no holiday? :'''Malcolm:''' Where did you learn to speak like that? Is there a special school that's just you and Brian Sewell went to? :'''Julius:''' I'm gonna leave you to it, frankly. :'''Malcolm:''' So soon? :'''Steve:''' And I'm gonna make tracks as well, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Okay, good to see you both. :''(But just before Steve leaves...)'' :'''Steve:''' ''(to Malcolm, softly)'' The problem is that you are shifting from the man people love to hate to the man people just hate. From [[wikipedia:Simon Cowell|Simon Cowell]] to [[wikipedia:Piers Morgan|Piers Morgan]]. :'''Malcolm:''' See you later, and remember, my door's always open. :''(And when Steve leaves, Malcolm throws part of the bagel sandwich he was eating onto the door in disgust.)'' <hr width="50%"/> :''(Glenn and Ollie are reading stories about Malcolm in the newspapers.)'' :'''Ollie:''' I had no idea, no idea that it was Malcolm who drafted Fleming's resignation letter in 2003. :'''Glenn:''' I forgot your political memory only goes back two issues of [[The Economist]]. :'''Ollie:''' Hey! There's a reference to you here, Cullen. :'''Glenn:''' Where? :'''Ollie:''' 'Alleged to have assaulted an elderly aide at a party conference.' :'''Glenn:''' Elderly aide? :'''Ollie:''' Elderly aide. :'''Glenn:''' God, that makes me sound like a fucking stairlift! <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm sees Nicola outside his office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Hey, [[wikipedia:Dora the Explorer|Dora the Explorer]]. :'''Nicola:''' (sighing) Still here, then, Malcolm? :'''Malcolm:''' Time for a milky drink? Come on. Come on in. I wanna have a word with you. :''(Nicola reluctantly comes into Malcolm's office...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' There you go. How was Cabinet? Was it good? Is Tom looking after you? :'''Nicola:''' You're all over the newspapers like a pissing puppy, Malcolm. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I think you'll find that's what we masters of the dark arts call a blip. Tomorrow that will all be old news. It'll be like the fucking [[wikipedia:The War of the Roses|War of the Roses]]. Or [[wikipedia:AIDS|AIDS]]. Remember AIDS? Listen, Nicola, see that? Did Julius mention to you about his inquiry? :'''Nicola:''' Yeah. :'''Malcolm:''' The inquiry into the whole fucking crime stats cock-up? :'''Nicola:''' Yeah. :'''Malcolm:''' You know the phone call that came through to me from your office? You know, about the whole idea? :'''Nicola:''' Yeah, yeah. :'''Malcolm:''' It didn't happen, right? :'''Nicola:''' You want me to cover your back? :'''Malcolm:''' I want you to get the old inquiry screen out and slap it on, fucking factor 50, why not? Listen, I'll tell you what. This is what I'll do. I will get for you some really good press attention for your fucking Healthy Choices nonsense. How about that? I'll get you some big fucking healthy headlines. :'''Nicola:''' You're in no position to give me anything. You're not -- you can't even get a fucking bagel cleaned up off your door. Do you mind? :''(Nicola gets ready to leave Malcolm's office, but he's still trying to talk to her.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' What? Do you think I can't get it up anymore? Is that it? You're looking at fucking Lazarus, sweetheart. And not just plain Lazarus. I'm fucking self-raising Lazarus, right? <hr width="50%"/> :''(Malcolm has organised positive press coverage of DoSAC's Healthy Lifestyles policy)'' :'''Glenn:''' Well done Malcolm. :'''Ollie:''' He's very impressive, isn't he? In the way that, you know, [[Mao Zedong|Chairman Mao]] was actually quite impressive. :'''Glenn:''' Well that's the thing about the evil, isn't it, their amazing work ethic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Malcolm:''' How are the hacks? :'''Steve:''' Ready to eat their own cocks. :'''Malcolm:''' They're only journalists, Steve, not fucking [[wikipedia:Rangers_F.C.|Rangers]] supporters. :'''Steve:''' I know they are. :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, well, I need 10 minutes. I need to google some jokes about Andy Murray. :'''Steve:''' Shall I go first? :'''Malcolm:''' Warm them up. Tell them [[wikipedia:Laurence Olivier|Olivier]] is on his way, but in the meantime, here's an audience with [[wikipedia:Peter Bowles|Peter fucking Bowles]]. <hr width="50%"/> :''(A short time later, Malcolm spots Julius again.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' Oh, there he is. Screaming Lord Crutch. I like the flunkies, by the way. That's a very nice touch. It's a wee bit [[wikipedia:Graham Norton|Graham Norton]]. :'''Julius:''' Don't needle me, Malcolm. Not when people are under scrutiny. :'''Malcolm:''' ''I'm'' under scrutiny? :'''Julius:''' Yes. :'''Malcolm:''' I'm fucking Nosferatu. That's really fucking scary. :'''Julius:''' (unimpressed) I'm walking on. We're moving on. I'm Ian Botham. I'm walking on for hospice care. :''(And then, Malcolm sees Nicola...and he sneaks over to her when nobody's looking.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' How's it going with Lord Bonnie Longford? :'''Nicola:''' I've not been in yet. I've just been standing here for 20 minutes. :'''Malcolm:''' So IF this phone call does come up... :'''Julius''' (Seeing what Malcolm's up to) No! No, that's not... :'''Nicola:''' You're nothing if not persistent, are you, Malcolm? :''(Julius breaks up the conversation.)'' :'''Julius:''' Don't do that! I made it quite clear... :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Julius)'' I was standing over there and I thought, "Nicola's choking." But she wasn't. She was laughing, retrospectively, at your massive shiny head. ''(to Steve)'' Oh, what happened? Did you get heckled off? What was the line? "Taxi for [[Tom Selleck]]!" :'''Steve:''' Yeah. Could I have a quick word? Just...just five minutes. :''(Steve takes Malcolm into the office to have a private chat.)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steve:''' So, Malcolm, mate. :'''Malcolm:''' What is it? What's...What's the problem? You look like you fucking coughed up your own twin. :''(An awkward silence...)'' :'''Malcolm:''' No, no, no, no...I need to talk to Tom. :'''Steve:''' No, Tom isn't immediately available to you. :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck off. :'''Steve:''' Malcolm, the Prime Minister respects you enormously. :'''Malcolm:''' (on his cell phone) Sam, get a hold of Pat, right... :''(But then, Malcolm's cell phone shuts off.)'' :'''Steve:''' Actually, I'm gonna need that. That's an official Blackberry. :'''Malcolm:''' (answering a door knock) Fuck off! :''(Julius enters the office.)'' :'''Julius:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Right. Your five minutes starts now. :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck off. :'''Steve:''' ''(to Julius)'' This is an acutely private moment, Julius. Would it seem terribly rude if I asked you to ''shit off'' for five minutes? :'''Julius:''' Yes, it would. :''(And now, Nicola enters the office.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Can you fuck off as well? :'''Nicola:''' ''(to Julius)'' Julius, what -- ''(to Malcolm)'' Sorry, excuse me? ''(back to Julius)'' Julius, what is the deal? :'''Julius:''' At ''the moment'', Malcolm is getting ''The Sack.'' :'''Nicola:''' (stunned) Shit. Now? Literally? I mean, in -- I'm actually in the sacking? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' Yeah, well, let's see what the fucking Prime Minister has to say about that! Huh? Let's see what he has to say! :'''Steve:''' ''(to Malcolm)'' Listen to me a minute! The Prime Minister supports you fully in whatever you decide to do next. :''(Steve presents Malcolm with a pen and paper, in effect asking for his resignation.)'' :'''Malcolm:''' ''(to Nicola)'' You. Fucking Nicola. Right, tell them. Fucking tell them that there was no fucking phone call. ''(beat)'' Speak! I fucking ask you, speak! Open Sesame! :'''Nicola:''' I'm not, I'm not here, Malcolm. I'm not... :'''Malcolm:''' You are fucking here! :'''Nicola:''' I'm not seeing this. :'''Malcolm:''' Open your fucking mouth for once and say something! :'''Nicola:''' I'm not getting involved. :'''Malcolm:''' You fucking speak! You've always fucking got something to say! :'''Nicola:''' I'm only a Cabinet Minister! :'''Malcolm:''' Fuck off, then! :''(Nicola runs out of Number 10.)'' :'''Steve:''' Malc, Malc – :'''Malcolm:''' Don't fucking touch me! :'''Steve:''' Come on, Malc! :'''Malcolm:''' You cannot fuck me! You cannot fuck me! I am unfuckable! I have never been fucked! And if you fucking try and fuck me, you'll find my fucking arse will fucking grow fucking fangs! :'''Steve:''' Yeah, all right, now come and listen to me! Will you listen to me – :'''Malcolm:''' And fucking snap your fucking cock off – :'''Steve:''' MALCOLM TUCKER, WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME?! :'''Malcolm:''' Go right ahead. Yeah, let's hear it, let's hear it. :'''Steve:''' Listen to me for one second. :'''Malcolm:''' Go right ahead. :'''Steve:''' I wouldn't tell ''you'' what I've just told you ''before'' I'd told the press pack, would I? That would be very very unprofessional. So there's no point in getting angry because the show's over. It's curtains. No curtain call. Everyone ''loved'' the show, but it just wasn't ''buttering'' any ''parsnips'' ANYMORE, BROTHER! :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. You don't have the fucking balls, apart from that great inflated fucking ball on the fucking end of your fucking neck. :'''Steve:''' (looking at the TV behind Malcolm) Ooh, look.

However, would I be sat here now if the man in the other hat—which is also me—wasn't sure that everyone involved in this inquiry didn't come out relatively well? :'''Malcolm:''' And what about Steve Fleming, yeah? You schizo hat fuck? :'''Julius:''' Let me put it this way: You see this onion bhaji?

Stop, stop, stop! I demand an explanation. :'''Adam:''' Sorry, Phil, we're busy. Maybe come back in, I don't know, 2017? :'''Phil:''' As Peter's representative, it's as though you lied to him.

Oh no no no! I'd forgotten: you're not allowed within 50 feet of most women. :'''Phil:''' How do you explain this, then?

No it's not! Have you ever seen ''Game of Thrones'' Season 2? :'''Adam:''' No! :'''Phil:''' Or Anakin Skywalker, he was young. Frodo, in his thirties, still young for a hobbit. You know, I'm in charge, because I'm a Jedi and you're a fucking Ewok! :'''Glenn:''' Right. What is the Ewok position on this, then? <hr width="50%"/> :''(Fergus, Adam, Glenn and Phil are trying to get a handle on the news of Mr. Tickel's suicide.)'' :'''Phil:''' The line from Stewart via Emma was that I do nothing. That was the one clear instruction they gave me, okay?

I am. :''(Terri enters the room.)'' :'''Terri:''' Has anyone seen my Bluetooth headset? :'''Phil:''' Look, I speak for Peter and I say that we look guilty if we say we're sorry he died. :'''Terri:''' I'll take that as a no. :'''Adam:''' Listen, Phil. I was a journalist, okay? Now if you don't respond, you create a vacuum that sucks in speculation, and then you can't respond. You get sucked fucking inside-out! :'''Phil:''' Look, Tickle wasn't the Queen of People's Hearts, he was a twat in a tent. :'''Glenn:''' TICK-EL! HE WAS CALLED TICK-EL! WE DROVE A MAN TO HIS DEATH!

This is just fucking great. I hang around this moral abattoir to do something exactly like this and you shut me out? :'''Terri:''' So, I'm spending my bank holiday founding a bank?

Okay? :'''Phil:''' ''(calling out to Fergus)'' Sure. I'll-I'll do it your way for now, Fergus, but, uh, they left me in charge for a reason. :'''Adam:''' I bet you line up all your action figures on the edge of your bath, don't you? :'''Phil:''' 1: I've got a shower.

Welcome to the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Lord Goolding:''' This is an inquiry into the death of Mr. Douglas Tickel. And the practice and culture of the dissemination of confidential information between political parties and the public media. Mr. Weir. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, thank you, Lord Goolding. Um, our first witness today is, uh, is Mr. Stewart Pearson. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Stewart Pearson is ready to testify before the Goolding Inquiry Committee. He takes the oath, but politely declines to put his hand on the Bible.)'' :'''Stewart:''' ''(to the Bible holder)'' No, that's, er, it's fine. ''(taking the oath)'' Yeah. Um, I, Stewart Pearson, do sincerely declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and, and nothing but, uh, the truth. :'''Simon Weir:''' On page, uh, 235 of your, your witness statement...uh, you describe yourself as the, the "Human Rooter" in government. Can you, uh, can you explain what you meant by that? :'''Stewart:''' Um, I'm a...a "router," in the sense that I control the governmental informational ingestion and egestion process. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, Mr. Pearson, just to clarify, your job is -- is to make sure that the public perception of your government's program is a positive one, is that fair? :'''Stewart:''' It's not about perception, yeah? I believe in government as a transceiver, mmm? :'''Simon Weir:''' A transceiver? :'''Stewart:''' Yeah, it's really important, yeah, sure, to give out a, uh, a strong signal, but you -- to be effective, you've got to listen for an echo. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Could you possibly speak in plain English? :'''Stewart:''' I'm sorry, I, I...I thought, I thought I was. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So what-what is clear is that you are an important man, Mr. Pearson. :'''Stewart:''' I'm just a lad from Leeds with a lust for life, yeah? Um...there's an, uh, an African proverb that's, that's stuck with me, yeah? "If you think you're too small to make a difference, you've never spent a night with a mosquito." :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So...part of your job is to make sure that the government's message gets across clearly? Is that right? :'''Stewart:''' That's correct. And despite the sarcasm marinating in that question, I'm very successful in that endeavor. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(correcting Stewart)'' No, there was no sarcasm intended at all, Mr. Pearson. :'''Stewart:''' Sorry, I must have misread your face. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, does your job intrude on your home life? :'''Stewart:''' No. No, when I, when I close the front door, I'm...I'm no longer Stewart Pearson. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' When you... :'''Stewart:''' I mean, I mean when I close it from the, from the inside. You know, right. When I close it from the outside, then...then I very much am Stewart Pearson. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So who are you at home? :'''Stewart:''' Uh, I'm a husband, I'm a -- pardon me, a lover, I'm a carpenter, I'm a cook, I'm a flautist. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' A... :'''Stewart:''' A flautist. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Right. :'''Stewart:''' I play the flute. And I dabble on the Irish bodhrán. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Um, and would you like to express any, uh, remorse for Mr. Tickel's death? What would you like to say to his family? :'''Stewart:''' Uh, I would like to offer them maximum respect, you know? And maximum remorse. And maximum assurance that Mr. Tickel did not die in vain. We're here. You know? How can we make the government and the media inclusive without being intrusive? Yeah? And if we can answer that, at least we can make sure that there are no more Mr. Tickels. ''(Stewart corrects himself)'' I mean--I mean that not in the sense of, you know, wiping out the Tickel family name. I mean it in the sense that nothing like this will ever happen again. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Hello, Mr. Pearson. Tab 28 in your bundle there, page 263. ''(Both turn to that page in their folders.)'' A paper that you presented in 2006, 'The Iconography of Consensus.' Would you care to summarize the argument you present there? :'''Stewart:''' Sure, yeah, the main thrust – :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Bearing in mind Lord Goolding's desire for plainness and clarity. :'''Stewart:''' Right. Okay. I, um, hypothesise that – Sorry. I ''say'' that the design structure for a parliamentary democracy should be that of the [[wikipedia:Centre_Georges_Pompidou|Pompidou Centre]]: Morally and structurally explicit and open, a porous membrane. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Maybe just a little bit plainer, Mr. Pearson? :'''Stewart:''' People should know, er, what politicians are doing. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Brilliant. :'''Stewart:''' Thanks. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Government should be porous? :'''Stewart:''' Yes. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' But not leaking. :'''Stewart:''' Come on, if someone is determined to leak information, there's nothing that anyone can do about that. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' So as Director of Communications, you are unable to prevent sensitive material being communicated to journalists? :'''Stewart:''' If someone chokes on a packet of crisps, do you issue an arrest warrant for [[wikipedia:Gary Lineker|Gary Lineker]]? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Well, is it fair to say that you have in fact changed nothing, and government communications carries on exactly as they did before, by leaks and whispers? :'''Stewart:''' No, it is not fair to say that. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' In fact, because you disapprove and ''condemn'' these practices, are they not more covert and more hidden and more secret than ever before? :'''Stewart:''' I think that is-is also an unreasonable assertion. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' In spite of your desire to create a political Pompidou Centre, Mr. Pearson, haven't you created the opposite, [[wikipedia:Centre_Point|Centre Point]]? I mean, everybody sees it looming over them but nobody has the faintest idea what happens in there. :'''Stewart:''' ''(calmly, but sarcastically)'' I think there's some kind of club on the top floor. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So, Mr. Pearson, have you identified the source of the leak of Mr. Tickel's records? :'''Stewart:''' No, no. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Have you ever leaked yourself? :'''Stewart:''' No. No, I was over that pre-Britpop. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Do you have any idea where the leak might have come from? :'''Stewart:''' Well, you know, if this was ''[[CSI: Miami]]'', I guess we'd be looking for the person who'd have most to gain from the leak being made public. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, despite your shirt, this isn't ''CSI: Miami''. Who do you think would benefit most from the leak? :'''Stewart:''' Well, I guess I'd be sending [[wikipedia:David_Caruso|David Caruso]] knocking on the door of Mr. Malcolm Tucker. <hr width="50%"/> :''(And now, Malcolm Tucker takes his turn with the Goolding Inquiry.)'' :'''Lord Goolding:''' Can I ask you, "How would you describe yourself?" :'''Malcolm:''' Uh, I'm, uh, a media strategist. :'''Lord Goolding:''' So you would be Stewart Pearson's opposite number? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, uh, I'd be Stewart Pearson's opposite in every possible way, I think. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You have a lot of control and power over your party, don't you? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(laughs slightly)'' I wish, yes. Uh, no. I think that that's been overstated. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So this reputation you have as an enforcer, that's completely misrepresenting you, is it? :'''Malcolm:''' It's baloney. Politicians who have to do things that they don't want to do, such as resign, uh...Because they've been caught with their fingers in the till, or, you know, with their knickers up a flagpole or whatever, they sometimes...It's very convenient for them to have a boogeyman. "Malcolm made me do it." Well, I didn't make them do it. These are people who just find themselves stuck in a room with one exit and I simply show them the door. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I've highlighted some quotes: The ''Guardian'': 'Malcolm Tucker has the physical demeanour and the political instincts of a ''Velociraptor''.<nowiki/>' :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, the ''Guardian'', the newspaper that hates newspapers. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''Telegraph''. :'''Malcolm:''' The ''Telegr-arse''. :'''Baroness Sureka'''<nowiki/>''':''' 'Tucker's writ runs through the lifeblood of Westminster like ''r''<nowiki/>''aw alcohol'', at once cleansing and<nowiki/> corroding.' The ''Times'': 'If you<nowiki/> make eye contact with Malcolm Tucker, you have spilled his pint.' The ''Spectator'': '[[wikipedia:Iago|Iago]] with a BlackBerry'; I mean, you're saying these quotes are, what, misguided? :'''Malcolm:''' The ''Spect-hater''. Erm, no, I'm saying that you are not – you're taking these out of context, you're not contextualising these. If you were to<nowiki/> put them into a perspective, if you were to place them into the landscape, you would see that there might be a lot of axes being ground here. I don't see the difference between what you have just done and a leak, by the way. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, the difference is that what I've just read out was not obtained illegally. :'''Malcolm:''' How do you know that? You don't know <nowiki/>what confidences have been breached in order to form these ''opinions'', for that is what they are. :'''Ba'''<nowiki/>'''roness Sureka:''' So you accept leaking as part and parcel of the political media machinery? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, I mean, if you didn't have leaking, the newspapers would just be full of long-lens bikini shots and adverts for sheds and offers to buy three pairs of trousers for a tenner, et cetera, it's just – it's the way it is. Big deal, no one dies. :'''Lord Goolding:''' One person ''did'' die, Mr. Tucker. :''(Malcolm simply gives a "so be it" look.)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Would you tell us how it works? :'''Malcolm:''' You know, you do me a favor, I do you a favor, yeah? :'''Lord Goolding:''' And what might you expect in return? :'''Malcolm:''' Anything. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' What? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, a [[wikipedia:Kit Kat|Kit Kat]], you might get -- I've had a Kit Kat. I've had a, uh, a big meal. :'''Simon Weir:''' Well, I mean, could you give us an example of what you mean? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(going through his notes)'' Um...Well, yes. I...This is the ''Daily Mirror.'' And I could get drummed out of the Magic Circle for showing you this. Anyway, this is the ''Daily Mirror'' about the "Quiet Batpeople", uh, policy of, uh, Mrs. Nicola Murray. ''(Malcolm shows the inquiry committee a picture of the "Quiet Batpeople" headline.)'' I was there that day. You can't see me, because I've been cropped out here. But this information here, I made sure that those notes were in that place, that they were available, and that the picture editor, uh, knew where to find them. :'''Simon Weir:''' Sorry, I'm just trying to...trying to get this clear. Was Mrs. Murray not the subject of huge derision as a result of this? :'''Malcolm:''' Uh, no, she was a subject of huge derision before this. :''(Chuckles emanate from the gallery.)'' :'''Simon Weir:''' You were trying to undermine the leader of your party? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(putting away the picture)'' I was... :'''Simon Weir:''' Would you, would you say you were a loyal man, Mr. Tucker? :'''Malcolm:''' I'm loyal, yes. I'm loyal to my party. And, uh, I feel that Mrs. Murray's policies were turning the party into -- I don't know if you've seen those calendars that have got pictures of dogs that are dressed up, and they've got little dresses and hats on. She was turning my party into that, she was humiliating my party. So I thought it was absolutely vital to focus the public's attention onto that. :'''Simon Weir:''' And yet you maintain that you had great -- I don't know, what, respect for Mrs. Murray as a person. :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, she was a great laugh occasionally, great dancer, she's got terrific hair. She did a good job at DoSAC. A much better job than her successor, who, let's not forget, was playing on a slide when the news of Mr. Tickle's... :'''Simon Weir:''' Yeah, thank you. :'''Malcolm:''' ...death came out. :'''Simon Weir:''' Mr. Tucker, we're well-versed in the events surrounding the... :'''Malcolm:''' Yeah. :'''Simon Weir:''' ...the death of Mr. Tickel. ''(beat)'' So, tell me, the PFI email that, uh, led to the, to the resignation of Nicola Murray. Did you, did you engineer that? :'''Malcolm:''' ''(takes a long pause...)'' No. No. ''(beat)'' No I didn't. :'''Simon Weir:''' And, uh, the leaking of Mr. Tickel's health records? Do I mean, do I detect your hand in-in that, for instance? :'''Malcolm:''' No no no no. Look, politics is a war. And politicians, sometimes they lose idealogical limbs, right? They get media shrapnel right in the face. Sometimes they get a bullet right in the brain. Civilians, no. There is no way that I would ever attack a civilian, a real person, and especially not somebody with a history of mental illness. Because ''that'' sort of thing -- makes me queasy. :'''Simon Weir:''' So you're a "ethical" leaker, if you will? :'''Malcolm:''' I use leaking to show up corruption, to show up hypocrisy, to show up idiocy, and also the fourth horseman of the political apocalypse, duplicity. For instance: Fergus Williams. He's coming up next, right? :'''Simon Weir:''' Mmm-hmm. :'''Malcolm:''' This is a guy, he's a member of the junior party in this coalition, right? This guy has already opened a private channel to Dan Miller, the Leader of the Opposition. In order to talk about possibly setting up a coalition with him, because he knows very well that this coalition government that he is lumbered with is being torn to pieces like a bread stick at a picnic. :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(very upset)'' Mr. Tucker, you have just used this inquiry to commit a leak in front of us! :'''Malcolm:''' I have not committed a leak. Everybody in Westminster knows that these talks have taken place, everyone. You're supposed to be investigating this. You're supposed to be discovering this stuff. Now you cannot not know what I or anyone else tell you, right, you can't not know that. You cannot not know what you now know. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Mr. Tucker, are you familiar with the rules of association football? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, I understand that if you're gonna have an affair, you'd better take precautions, like getting a superinjuction. :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(sternly)'' I ask you, because this is me giving you a yellow card. You are not to use this inquiry to score political points. :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, I'm, I apologize. <hr width="50%"/> :''(Fergus Williams takes his turn giving testimony in front of the inquiry.)'' :'''Matthew Hodge:''' ''(to Fergus)'' Did you see Mr. Malcolm Tucker's evidence earlier? :'''Fergus:''' Uh, yeah, I-Uh, uh, I saw it out of the, out of the corner of my eye. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Would you like me to read what he said about you? :'''Fergus:''' Uh, no, that's fine, that was the bit that I saw. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Embarrassing, I imagine? :'''Fergus:''' ''(emabarrassed, but gathering himself)'' Uh, no, not at all. It was, um, almost, uh, flattering, yeah...uh, to get, uh, to get "Tuckered." It's a, it's a rite of passage in-in-in, in politics. Happens to all of us. It's, you know, it's like when you're in a Russian jail, you get your face tattooed. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Mr. Tucker mentioned meetings between you and the Leader of the Opposition. Did these take place? :'''Fergus:''' ''(after a pause)'' They did, yes. Er, myself and, uh, Adam were part of a team who had very general, noncommittal discussions with, amongst others, Mr. Miller. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' And you discussed a potential future coalition with his party and the removal of your own party leader, is that correct? :'''Fergus:''' ''(taken aback)'' Sorry, could I possibly answer that question with another question? I mean, not that question I'm just asking, but a further question? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Go on. :'''Fergus:''' You do realise that ''you're'' being spun here, you do see that? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Spun? :'''Fergus:''' 'Cause, you know, Malcolm Tucker's not your common or garden spin doctor, right? No, he's the-he's...he's the chief medical officer of spin – he is Spinoza, you see? So he, he didn't come here in order to answer your questions, he came here in order to get ''you'' to then ask ''his'' questions. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Yeah, right, Mr. Williams, I don't want you to answer a question with another question, I want you to answer it with an answer. :'''Fergus:''' I mean, he's conducting you like, um – Goldie. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Did you talk to Mr. Miller about removing your party leader? :'''Fergus:''' ''(in disbelief)'' Sorry, are you getting Tucker's questions sort of beamed straight into your brain? :'''Lord Goolding:''' ''(firmly)'' Mr. Williams. :''(A short time later...)'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Finally, um, on the subject of frustration, would you say it's difficult to steer policy ideas through your department? :'''Fergus:''' ''(stumbling in his testimony)'' Uh, yes, there are, uh...blockages. Uh, there is one person in particular and, well, you know, I don't want to identify her -- or him, if she was a man. Uh, but this particular person, uh, is rather inept and has hampered a lot of our initiatives. And she, or her, or him is, um...very difficult to remove. And so she's a, he is a...they are a stubborn blockage, shall we say, like, you know, when you get hair and soap in a-in a-in a plughole with skin flakes. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(reassuring)'' Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Williams.

'Mr. Tucker threatened to remove Mr. Reeder's appendix, throw away Mr. Reeder, and appoint the useless flap of colon as special adviser.' :'''Ollie:''' Yeah. Well that's – yes.

That must have been extremely distressing. :'''Glenn:''' Uh, no, not at all, as a matter of fact.

Thank you. :'''Simon Weir:''' Uh, Mr. Cullen, would you say there's a culture of leaking in the government? :'''Glenn:''' Yes, I would. Yes, leaking and lying. :'''Simon Weir:''' To your knowledge, have any of your colleagues lied to this inquiry? :'''Glenn:''' Well, I mean, that's a bit like asking, you know, um -- "Does a cow drink milk?" :'''Simon Weir:''' Does it? :'''Glenn:''' Probably. But what I meant to say was, yes, um, my colleagues lie constantly. It's a...professional necessity. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Have you ever leaked, Mr. Cullen? :'''Glenn:''' First of all, may I just say, uh, welcome back, Baroness Sureka. Big hugs. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we're all thinking of you... :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I'd rather you, um, swapped the ham-fisted flattery for actually answering my question, which was, "Have you ever leaked?" :'''Glenn:''' Right. No, it's a very simple question and it's got a very simple answer. No, I haven't. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Um, you'll be aware of Ollie Reeder's testimony to the inquiry where he said that, uh, you were, in fact, responsible for the PFI leak. :'''Glenn:''' Yes I am. ''(Glenn quickly corrects himself.)'' By which I mean to say I am aware of, of that. But gosh, you've got to be careful what you say here, haven't you? :'''Matthew Hodge:''' You most certainly do, Mr. Cullen. Let's hope we're both up to it. Is there any truth at all to Mr. Reeder's accusations? :'''Glenn:''' Absolutely none whatsoever. He's talking out of hi -- Out of his other cheeks, if you... :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Why would Oliver Reeder suggest that you were behind the PFI email leak, then? :'''Glenn:''' I've absolutely no idea. It's very difficult for me to get into the mindset of somebody so entirely self-serving and, um...spiritually ugly. I mean, anyone who's been unfortunate enough to have come across Ollie Reeder will know that he is a genuinely...atrocious person. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Do you believe Mr. Reeder was trying to cover himself, in that case? :'''Glenn:''' Well, I do believe he has the emotional tools for the task. Yes, certainly. :'''Matthew Hodge:''' Do you believe that Ollie Reeder was behind the leak? :'''Glenn:''' ''(after a long pause...)'' No. You see...a-a leak of this magnitude would require one essential item that Ollie lacks. And that's a spine. He is a man without a spine. He is a man-worm. He's a writhing mollusk without any strategies or convictions.

I'm amazed you stayed at the top of politics for quite so long with such apparently poor powers of recall. :'''Malcolm:''' Well, maybe it's my age – it's good to see you back, by the way. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' ''(sarcastically)'' Thank you, nice to see you too. :'''Lord Goolding:''' At your last appearance at this inquiry, you admitted that you have leaked, is that correct? :'''Malcolm:''' Well, everyone leaks: many many people who have appeared here in front of you have leaked, but they've just lied about it to you. :'''Simon Weir:''' Mr. Tucker, that's an incredibly serious charge; do you have any evidence to substantiate that allegation? :'''Malcolm:''' Will you forgive me if I don't do your job for you? Because if you can't spot a sprayed-on halo of someone doing a "what, me guv?" panto act, then maybe you shouldn't be sitting behind that desk. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' At your last appearance we asked you very specifically how you came by Mr. Tickel's NHS number and National Insurance number, and you could not recall. Have you had any more time to think about it? :'''Malcolm:''' Yes, I have. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' And could you tell us any more? :'''Malcolm:''' No. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You've got no recollection at all? :'''Malcolm:''' No. And by the way, you should not be talking to me about this because you've been a victim of leaking, a very unfortunate victim, and I have every sympathy with you, but how can you possibly give me a fair hearing when you've been a victim of the very crime that you are accusing me of? You are prejudiced; this entire inquiry, therefore, is prejudiced. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I can see what you're doing, it smacks of desperation and it will not work. :'''Malcolm:''' Does it? No, listen, there you go again, see, that's you, you're just rushing to judgement. You are totally discredited here. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' I am obliged to remind you, Mr. Tucker, that you are under oath, and if you lie to this inquiry, it may result in a criminal prosecution. :'''Malcolm:''' Sorry, please don't insult my intelligence by acting as if you're all so naive that you don't know how this all works. Everybody in this room has bent the rules to get in here, because you don't get in this room without bending the rules. You don't get to where ''you'' are without bending the rules, that's the way it is. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Mr. Tucker, I am going to give you one more chance to respond to my question. How did you acquire Mr. Tickel's NHS number and his National Insurance number? :'''Malcolm:''' Who said I acquired it? :'''Baroness Sureka:''' A photograph. :'''Malcolm:''' No no, the photograph shows me holding it. It doesn't show me acquiring it. You'd have to ask the person that gave me the folder. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Who gave you the folder? :'''Malcolm:''' I don't remember. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' You are being deliberately evasive. :'''Malcolm:''' ... I – I don't recall, you know, I don't know, I can't remember. :'''Lord Goolding:''' Very well. Regardless of how you came by Mr. Tickel's mental health records, did you then leak them to the media? :'''Malcolm:''' I can't recall. :'''Baroness Sureka:''' So that's not a denial? :'''Malcolm:''' ''Je ne remember rien.'' :'''Baroness Sureka:''' Well, if you can't recall, it leaves open the possibility that you did leak them. :'''Malcolm:''' Let me tell you this. The whole planet's leaking, everybody is leaking! You know?

And to show people their knickers, to show people their skid marks, and then complain to ''[[wikipedia:OK!|OK!]]'' magazine about a breach of privacy! The exchange of private information – that is what drives our economy. But, you come after me because you can't arrest a landmass, can you? You can't cuff a country. You might as well just go and – you can't lynch that guy there, can you? But you decide that you can sit there, you can judge and you can ogle me like a [[wikipedia:Page_3|Page 3]] girl.

Firstly, can someone please remove the admin level protection from [[Template:error]] and move [[Template:error2]] to this title? There's no real reason for this template to have a number in its title except to get around the page salting (which seems to have been a bit of an overkill response for a single piece of IP vandalism). Secondly can someone make the following moves, deleting any redirects: *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd2}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd2}} *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd3}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd3}} *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd4}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd4}} Because there is no such thing as "articles for deletion" on this project. There are no current usages of these templates, so no real need to leave a redirect. I cleaned up the text of these templates a few days ago, but the title still needs to be changed.

In addition can whoever moves them delete or supress any resulting redirects, as they will not be helpful. Firstly, can someone please remove the admin level protection from [[Template:error]] and move [[Template:error2]] to this title? There's no real reason for this template to have a number in its title except to get around the page salting (which seems to have been a bit of an overkill response for a single piece of IP vandalism). Secondly can someone make the following moves, deleting any redirects: *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd2}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd2}} *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd3}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd3}} *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd4}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd4}} Because there is no such thing as "articles for deletion" on this project. There are no current usages of these templates, so no real need to leave a redirect. I cleaned up the text of these templates a few days ago, but the title still needs to be changed.

In addition can whoever moves them delete or supress any resulting redirects, as they will not be helpful. Firstly, can someone please remove the admin level protection from [[Template:error]] and move [[Template:error2]] to this title? There's no real reason for this template to have a number in its title except to get around the page salting (which seems to have been a bit of an overkill response for a single piece of IP vandalism). Secondly can someone make the following moves, deleting any redirects: *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd2}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd2}} *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd3}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd3}} *{{tl|Template:Uw-afd4}} → {{tl|Template:Uw-vfd4}} Because there is no such thing as "articles for deletion" on this project. There are no current usages of these templates, so no real need to leave a redirect. I cleaned up the text of these templates a few days ago, but the title still needs to be changed.

I need a bit of help cleaning up a bit of a mess I just found via [[Special:WantedCategories]] while cleaning up some template documentation. It seems that about a month ago Ilovemydoodle tried to rename some categories, which they did by just moving the category page, without updating the actual category links in articles. The moved categories were therefore deleted as empty categories, and the redirects left over from the move (which is where all the actual pages are) were deleted as redirects to a deleted page. For each of these pages either the category page either needs to be undeleted and moved back to the title where the articles are, or the category page needs to be undeleted and the articles moved to the new category. List of Category pages and the articles supposed to be in them: * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Pakistan]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Pakistanis]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Bahrain]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Bahraini]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Burundi]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Burundians]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Russia]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Russians]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Rwanda]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Rwandans]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Senegal]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Senegalese]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from the Solomon Islands]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Solomon Islanders]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Spain]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Spaniards]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Swaziland]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Swazi]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Türkiye]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Turkish people]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Tanzania]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Tanzanians]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Thailand]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Thai people]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Togo]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Togolese]] * Category page deleted at [[:Category:People from Taiwan]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Taiwanese people]] * Category page deleted at [[: Category:People from Tuvalu]], articles supposed to be in it at [[:Category:Tuvaluan]] Thanks, [[Special:Contributions/192.76.8.85|192.76.8.85]] 20:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC) * {{re|Ilovemydoodle}} You can't just move categories like that.

If there are more than 4 authors only the first 4 should be listed; listing more will cause odd things to happen. *The next parameter is the year of publication. *The <kbd>loc=</kbd> parameter is the location of the cited material within the reference. This parameter is optional. *The <kbd>p=</kbd> is an optional page parameter; thus "<kbd><nowiki>{{Harvnb|Smith|2006| p=25}}</nowiki></kbd>" yields "{{Harvnb|Smith|2006|p=25}}". *The <kbd>pp=</kbd> parameter is an optional page range parameter; thus "<kbd><nowiki>{{Harvnb|Smith|2006| pp=25&amp;ndash;26}}</nowiki></kbd>" yields "{{Harvnb|Smith|2006|pp=25–26}}". *The <kbd>Ref=</kbd> parameter is used to specify the reference value that links the short citation to the full citation. This parameter is optional and is usually not necessary. If you specify <kbd>Ref=none</kbd> no hyperlink is created. (See the [[#Examples|examples]].) *To include brackets surrounding the citation, use {{tl2|Harvard citation}} or {{tl2|Harv}}. *To use the author name(s) in the text, use {{tl2|Harvard citation text}} or {{tl2|Harvtxt}}. *For more complicated Harvard citations with multiple links use {{tl2|Harvard citations}} or its abbreviation {{tl2|harvs}}. *For authors who have published more than one work in the same year, the standard way to differentiate such works is to put a lowercase letter after the year. For example, "<kbd><nowiki>{{Harvnb|Smith|2007a| p=25}}</nowiki></kbd>" yields "{{Harvnb|Smith|2007a| p=25}}" and "<kbd><nowiki>{{Harvnb|Smith|2007b| p=37}}</nowiki></kbd>" yields "{{Harvnb|Smith|2007b| p=37}}" *A space before or after the author name or before the year ''is'' significant; they produce an underscore in the hyperlink. So, "<kbd><nowiki>{{Harvnb|Smith| 2006| p=25}}</nowiki></kbd>" yields "{{Harvnb|Smith| 2006| p=25}}" which links to #CITEREFSmith_2006. *When using [[:Category:Citation templates|citation templates]] such as <kbd>{{tl|cite book}}</kbd> for references, include the parameter <kbd>ref=harv</kbd> to add the target of the footnote link to each reference. ==Examples== :{| class="wikitable" |- !

Both are basically doing the same thing! ** ''Cine Blitz'' magazine (May 2006) * I think a woman who's confident, who's aware of her own abilities and her own limitations and who accepts gracefully failure as part of her life. All this combination makes a beautiful woman. ** {{cite web|title=The Quest for beauty|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/10/01/quest/index.html|date=June 16 2006}} * I am indeed [[Vegetarianism|veg]] and proud of it!

I’m joining hands with a friend’s restaurant to introduce vegan offerings to the Indian palate. I plan to rope in international chefs to whip up some delicious dishes.

I am right on the ball. And I don't think one should take oneself too seriously. Be like the laughing Buddha, I always say, smile through life! It will immediately look better! * I never wanted to belong to a crowd. I never had a herd mentality... I always knew what I wanted and I made sure I got it. And I always knew that I wanted to be an actress. I exist because I can act. I will not sit here and say, 'Arrey, by chance, offer aa gaya' (I got the offer by chance). No, I made acting happen to me. The first opportunity I got to act, I grabbed it. Nobody had even heard of me till a couple of years ago. But it's by sheer hard work and focus that I am here. Also, I think I chose the right scripts. Like [[Robert De Niro]] says, 'Talent is in the choice you make!'. * Isn't it great that I evoke a reaction from people? Whether it is good or bad is secondary. The thing is that I like being myself. I find it very tiresome to put up a fake smile, say the right things, and be diplomatic.

This thing is just the control center of the factory, that's all." :(Jeremy types, and Aelita appears on the screen) :'''Jeremy''': "Oh, yeah? And what would you call this, huh? A program for spray painting doors?" <hr width=50% /> :'''Jeremy''': "In fact, the supercomputer analyzes you're molecular structure through these cabins and then breaks down your atoms before digitalizing them and recreating a digital incarnation in the virtual world." :'''Ulrich''': "In English?" :'''Jeremy''': "You go inside the cabin, and you're teleported to the virtual world." <hr width=50% /> :'''Jeremy''': "Odd Della Robbia?" :'''Odd''': "Who's calling me?" :'''Jeremy''': "It's me, Jeremy Belpois." :'''Odd''': "Is this a joke or something?" :'''Jeremy''': "Uh, no." <hr width=50% /> :'''Odd''': (Hit by a laser) "Uh!

Parliament alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and its territories. At its head is the Sovereign, [[Queen Elizabeth II]]. Parliament traces its origins to the feudal council introduced in 1066 by [[William I of England|William of Normandy]], by which he sought the advice of a council of tenants-in-chief and ecclesiastics before making laws. In 1215, the tenants-in-chief secured ''[[Magna Carta]]'' from [[w:John of England|King John]], which established that the king may not levy or collect any [[Taxation|taxes]] (except the feudal taxes to which they were hitherto accustomed), save with the consent of his royal council, which gradually developed into a parliament. == Quotes == * Living proof that a pig's bladder on the end of a stick can be elected to Parliament. ** [[Tony Banks]], on right-wing Conservative MP [[w:Terence Dicks|Terry Dicks]], [http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article337229.ece "Tony Banks close to death after stroke"], ''The Independent'' (online edition), 8 January 2006. * We may be proud that [[England]] is the ancient country of Parliaments. With scarcely any intervening period, Parliaments have met constantly for 600 years, and there was something of a Parliament before the [[w:Norman Conquest|Conquest]]. England is '''the mother of Parliaments.''' ** [[John Bright]], Speech at Birmingham, ([[1865-01-18]]). * Parliament is not a ''congress'' of [[Ambassador|ambassadors]] from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an agent and advocate, against other agents and advocates; but parliament is a ''deliberative'' assembly of ''one'' nation, with ''one'' interest, that of the whole; where, not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You choose a member indeed; but when you have chosen him, he is not a member of Bristol, but he is a member of ''parliament''. ** Speech to the Electors of Bristol (1774-11-03); as published in ''The Works of the Right Hon. Edmund Burke'' (1834). * The power of discretionary disqualification by one law of Parliament, and the necessity of paying every debt of the Civil List by another law of Parliament, if suffered to pass unnoticed, must establish such a fund of rewards and terrors as will make Parliament the best appendage and support of arbitrary power that ever was invented by the wit of man. ** [[Edmund Burke]], ''Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents'' (1770). * I have only two or three sentences to add. They will convey to the House my deep gratitude to this House of Commons, which has proved itself the strongest foundation for waging war that has ever been seen in the whole of our long history. We have all of us made our mistakes, but the strength of the Parliamentary institution has been shown to enable it at the same moment to preserve all the title-deeds of [[democracy]] while waging war in the most stern and protracted form. I wish to give my hearty thanks to men of all Parties, to everyone in every part of the House where they sit, for the way in which the liveliness of Parliamentary institutions has been maintained under the fire of the enemy, and for the way in which we have been able to persevere-and we could have persevered much longer if need had been-till all the objectives which we set before us for the procuring of the unlimited and unconditional surrender of the enemy had been achieved. I recollect well at the end of the last war, more than a quarter of a century ago, that the House, when it heard the long list of the surrender terms, the armistice terms, which had been imposed upon the [[Germany|Germans]], did not feel inclined for debate or business, but desired to offer thanks to [[God|Almighty God]], to the Great Power which seems to shape and design the fortunes of nations and the destiny of man; and I therefore beg, Sir, with your permission to move: That this House do now attend at the Church of St. Margaret, Westminster, to give humble and reverent thanks to Almighty God for our deliverance from the threat of German domination. ** [[Winston Churchill]], [https://winstonchurchill.org/resources/speeches/1941-1945-war-leader/end-of-the-war-in-europe/ Speech to the British Parliament on the End of World War II in Europe], 8 April 1945 * [<nowiki/>[[United States Congress|Congress]]] is not the British Parliament, and I hope it never will become the British Parliament... Are we going to bring the [[President of the United States|president]] in here and have a [[w:Prime Minister's Questions|question period]] like the prime minister has in Great Britain? ** [[Trent Lott]], reported in Dana Milbank, "[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/11/AR2007061102092.html A Jolly Good Show, but the Wrong Side of the Pond]" ''[[w:The Washington Post|The Washington Post]]'' [[2007-06-12]] *When trade is at stake, it is your last entrenchment; you must defend it, or perish...Sir, Spain knows the consequence of a war in America; whoever gains, it must prove fatal to her...is this any longer a nation? Is this any longer an English Parliament, if with more ships in your harbours than in all the navies of Europe; with above two millions of people in your American colonies, you will bear to hear of the expediency of receiving from [[Spain]] an insecure, unsatisfactory, dishonourable Convention? **[[William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham]], Denouncing the Spanish Convention of Prado in the House of Commons (6 March, 1739), reported in William Pitt, ''The Speeches of the Right Honourable the Earl of Chatham in the Houses of Lords and Commons: With a Biographical Memoir and Introductions and Explanatory Notes to the Speeches'' (London: Aylott & Jones, 1848), pp. 6-7. *There are many things a parliament cannot do. It cannot make itself executive, nor dispose of offices which belong to the crown. It cannot take any man's property, even that of the meanest cottager, as in the case of enclosures, without his being heard. **[[William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham]] ''Speech in the House of Commons'' (1766); reported in ''Parliamentary History of England'' (London, 1813), vol. 6, col. 195. * The House of Commons is called the Lower House, in twenty Acts of Parliament; but what are twenty Acts of Parliament amongst Friends? ** [[John Selden]], ''Table Talk'' (1689), p. 38. *The objection to judicial interference in politics is that it undermines the democratic legitimacy of public decision making. The problem that we have here is that the government itself has sought to undermine the democratic [[legitimacy]] of public decision making by dispensing with a central feature of our constitution, namely that ministers are answerable to parliament. '''What the [[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|Supreme Court]] has done is to invent a brand new rule, that is undoubtedly controversial, a brand new constitutional rule, the effect of which is to reinstate parliament at the heart of the decision-making process. And that is not undermining democracy at all, nor is it a coup, it is simply replacing what ought to have happened by convention, by law, in circumstances where the government has tried to kick away the conventions.''' **[[w:Jonathan Sumption|Jonathan Sumption]] on the UK Supreme Court judgement of the Boris Johnson government's extended proroguing of parliament, [[W:The Today Programme|The Today Programme]], BBC Radio 4, [https://twitter.com/BBCr4today/status/1176766276196323328 25 September, 2019]. * The King governs by Law. Let us look back to the evils we had, in order to prevent more. There was loan, and ship-money, and extremes begat extremes. The House would then give no money. Let the King rely upon the Parliament; we have settled the Crown and the Government. 'Tis strange that we have sat so many years, and given so much money, and are still called upon for Supply. The Lords may give Supply with their own money, but we give the peoples; we are their proxies. The King takes his measures by the Parliament, and he doubts not but that all the Commons will supply for the Government; but giving at this rate that we have done, we shall be "a branch of the revenue." They will "anticipate" us too. But, let the officers say what they will, we will not make these mismanagements the King's error. 'Tis better it should fall upon us than the King. We give public money, and must see that it goes to public use. Tell your money, fix it to public ends, and take order against occasions of this nature for the future. We cannot live at the expence of Spain, that has the Indies; or France, who has so many millions of revenue. Let us look to our Government, Fleet, and Trade. 'Tis the advice that the oldest Parliament-man among you can give you; and so, God bless you! ** [[Edmund Waller]], [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=40374 Speech in parliament] (19 October 1675). ===''The Dictionary of Legal Quotations'' (1904)=== :<small>Quotes reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, ''The Dictionary of Legal Quotations'' (1904), p. 189-193.</small> * This Court is a standing Court, and the law doth adjourn it from time to time: but a Parliament is a new Court, they appear, and are always summoned by new writs. ** Rolle, C.J., ''Case of Captain Streater on an Habeas Corpus'' (1653), 5 How. St. Tr. 400. * The Crown used to call a Parliament annually, but there was not an annual election. These words, ''annuo parliamento'', relate to the time of their meeting, and not their election. ** [[Giles Rooke]], J., ''Trial of Redhead alias Yorke'' (1795), 25 How. St. Tr. 1081. * To one who marvelled what should be the reason that Acts and Statutes are continually made at every Parliament, without intermission, and without end, a wise man made a good and short answer, both which are well composed in verse:<br>"Quseritur, ut crescunt tot magna volumina legis?<br>In promptu causa est, crescit in orbe dolus." ** Lord [[Edward Coke]], ''Twyne's Case'' (1602), 3 Rep. 80. * There is no providence or wisdom of man, nor of any council of men that can foresee and provide for all events and variety of cases, that will or may arise upon the making of a new law. ** Sir [[Robert Atkyns (judge)|Robert Atkyns]], L.C.B., ''Trial of Sir Edward Halet'' (1686), 11 How. St. Tr. 1208. * The causes of the multiplicity of the English laws are, the extent of the country which they govern; the commerce and refinement of its inhabitants; but above all, the liberty and property of the subject. ** Sir [[William Blackstone]], Bk. III., ch. 25, p. 232. * ''Lex Parliamenti'' is to be regarded as the law of the realm; but, supposing it to be a particular law, yet if a question arise determinable in the King's Bench, the King's Bench ought to determine it.— Bridgman, C.J., ''Binion v. Evelin'' (1662), Dyer, 60; Carth. 137; 1 Show. 99. * If a man be committed by Parliament, and the Parliament is prorogued, the King's Bench will grant a ''[[w:Habeas corpus|habeas corpus]]''. The [[common law]] then does not take notice of any such law of Parliament to determine inheritance originally. If there is any such, it ought either to be by act of Parliament, and there is no such act; or it ought to be by custom, and no more is there any such custom. ** Lord Holt, ''Rex et Reg. v. Knollys'' (1694), 1 Ld. Raym. 11. * This Court (Lords House of Parliament), which ought to be an example to all other Courts, will ever hold in the highest reverence the indulgent character of British justice. ** Lord Erskine, L.C., ''Trial of Lord Viscount Melville'' (1806), 29 How. St. Tr. 1249. * We cannot hear the integrity and wisdom of Parliament questioned in this Court. ** Abbott, C.J., ''King v. Edmonds and others'' (1821), 1 St. Tr. (N. S.) 927. * The House of Commons are a great branch of the Constitution, and are chose by ourselves, and are our trustees; and it cannot be supposed, nor ought to be presumed, that they will exceed their bounds, or do anything amiss . . . this is a very foreign supposition, and what ought not to be said by any Englishman. ** Powys, J., ''Reg. v. Paty'' (1704), 2 Raym. 1109. * Every facility ought undoubtedly to be given to all persons applying to either House of Parliament or to any Court of Justice for the redress of any alleged grievance. ** Littledale, J., ''Stockdale v. Hansard'' (1837), 3 St. Tr. (N. S.) 922. * The House of Commons are the representatives of the people. ** Gould, J., ''Reg. v. Paty'' (1704), 2 Raym. 1107. * It would look very strange, when the Commons of England are so fond of their right of sending representatives to Parliament, that it should be in the power of a [[sheriff]], or other officer, to deprive them of that right, and yet that they should have no remedy; it is a thing to be admired at by all mankind. ** [[John Holt (Lord Chief Justice)|Holt]], C.J., ''Ashby v. White'' (1703), 2 Raym. 954. * I disclaim the power of legislation which is asserted to exist in this Court, and I say that, if such a right is to be created, it must be created by the Legislature properly so called. ** Jessel, M.R., ''Day v. Brownrigg'' (1878), L. R. 10 C. D. 302. * It is the province of the statesman and not the lawyer to discuss, and of the legislature to determine, what is the best for the public good, and to provide for it by proper enactments. It is the province of the Judge to expound the law only—the written from the statute, the unwritten or common law from the decisions of our predecessors and of our existing Courts—from the text-writers of acknowledged authority, and upon the principles to be clearly deduced from them by sound reason and just inference—not to speculate upon what is the best, in his opinion, for the advantage of the community. ** Coleridge, J., ''Brownlow v. Egerton'' (1854), 23 L. J. Rep. Part 5 (N. S.), Ch. 370. * If the legislature have not gone far enough, it is for them, not for us, to remedy the defect. ** Chambre, J., ''Grigby v. Oakes'' (1801), 1 Bos. & Pull. 529. * It is for the legislature to alter the law if Parliament in its wisdom thinks an alteration desirable. ** Lord [[Edward Macnaghten, Baron Macnaghten|Macnaghten‎]], ''Hamilton v. Baker, "The Sara"'' (1889), L. R. 14 Ap. Ca. 227. * To abolish a well-established rule of law because it is a bad rule, is the business of the legislature. ** Stephen, J., ''Reg. v. Coney and others'' (1882), 15 Cox, C. C. 59. * What the legislature has not expressly enacted, the Judges ought not to presume that it intended. ** Lord Chelmsford, ''Mordaunt v. Moncreiffe'' (1874), L. R. 2 Sc. & D. 387. * The decisions of the House of Lords are binding on me and upon all the Courts except itself. ** Sir [[John Romilly, 1st Baron Romilly|John Romilly]], M.R., ''Att.-Gen. v. The Dean and Canons of Windsor'' (1858), 24 Beav. 715. * By the Constitution of this United Kingdom, the House of Lords is the Court of Appeal in the last resort, and its decisions are authoritative and conclusive declarations of the existing state of the law, and are binding upon itself when sitting judicially, as much as upon all inferior tribunals. The observations made by members of the House, whether law members or lay members, beyond the ratio decidendi which is propounded and acted upon in giving judgment, although they may be entitled to respect, are only to be followed in as far as they may be considered agreeable to sound reason and to prior authorities. But the doctrine on which the judgment of the House is founded must be universally taken for law, and can only be altered by Act of Parliament.1 So it is, even where the House gives judgment in conformity to its rule of procedure, that where there is an equality of votes, semper presumitur pro negante. ** Lord Campbell, L.C., ''Att.-Gen. v. Dean and Canons of Windsor'' (1860), 8 H. L. Cas. 391; 30 L. J.

The series centers on the Browns and Tubbs, two dysfunctional families consisting of parents Cleveland Brown and Donna-Tubbs and their children Cleveland Brown, Jr., Roberta Tubbs, and Rallo Tubbs. Similar to ''Family Guy'', it exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. :''Please read [[The Cleveland Show/Format]] for notes on how to use and edit

Well, um, the book I have says I should feed her vegetables and I want to do that, but the only vegetable jars I found have pictures of either black babies or Asian babies on them, and I don't know if the pictures are random, you know, or if there's a reason Asian babies instead of white ones should eat these particular string beans? :'''Sabrina''': That is a really good question. The colors of the babies on the jars don't matter, however it's really important that you do not feed her anything with a picture of a boy on it or else she will grow a penis. And a mustache. :'''Jimmy''': I said it might be a stupid question. :'''Sabrina''': Yeah you did. I just... really wasn't prepared for that. === ''[[w:Dead Tooth|Dead Tooth]]'' [1.02] === :'''Jimmy''': Hey, I thought I talked to you about this. You can't smoke around the baby. :'''Virginia''': Jimmy, smoke rises. She's not gonna be tall enough to breathe it for a long time. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Burt has just placed Maw Maw in the smoking bubble he created.]'' :'''Virginia''': The hell is that? :'''Burt''': I can't get her to quit. She burns me every time I bring it up, so I built her a bubble. :''[Maw Maw smacks him from inside the bubble.]'' :'''Burt''': It's loosely based off the plans of cousin Mike had when he built in the walk in bong and technically as long as she stays in here, there's no smoke in the house. So you have to quit. :'''Virginia''': No I don't. If she gets a bubble, I want a bubble. === ''Dream Hoarders'' [1.03] === :'''Burt''': ''[about Maw Maw]'' Hey, have you seen this? As long as I have [[w:Istanbul (Not Constantinople)|this song]] playing, she can't lose. :'''Virginia''': I know. It's weird how music kicks in certain things in her brain, like the other day I found out "America the Beautiful" makes her poop faster. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia''': ''[Upon discovering Hope is trapped in the greenhouse]'' I'm freaking out a little bit here, Burt. I'm not doing well with this. Think of something. How are we gonna fix this? Think. :'''Burt''': You know I can't think on demand like that. :'''Virginia''': Think! :'''Burt''': Stop saying think! Every time you say think all I can think is the word think- :'''Virginia''': All right, all right! :'''Burt''': -And it fills up my whole brain. Think, think, think. It keeps changing colors and sizes, I can't get past it! === ''Say Cheese'' [1.04] === :'''Sabrina''': Jimmy, are you missing a clump of hair in this photo? :'''Virginia''': Yes, he is. He ate it. :'''Sabrina''': Excuse me? :'''Jimmy''': Someone stressed me out so much that I started pulling out my hair and eating it as a nervous twitch. :'''Sabrina''': You look awful. Why didn't you just shave your head? :'''Virginia''': Oh god no. He's a birthmark on his head that looks like a big old... :'''Jimmy''': Florida. Shaped like Florida... Florida with balls. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sabrina''': Your house has a lot of cool stuff in it. Who plays the piano? :'''Jimmy''': Pretty much anybody who is trying to get on somebody's nerves. === ''Happy Halloween'' [1.05] === :'''Policeman''': What's going on? :'''Maw Maw''': Mommy and I are doing a trick. :'''Virginia''': The bitch who lives here wouldn't give us any candy. You're not really going to hassle us for pulling a prank on Halloween, are ya? :'''Policeman''': I might seeing as how the pranksters are both adults, this is my house and I'm married to the bitch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': ''[explaining why he scares Jimmy just so he can get hugged]'' I'm sorry but when you turned thirteen you barely hugged me any more and then that damn high five came along. I had to do whatever I could to feel your chest against mine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maw Maw''':''[face is covered in chocolate from eating candy]'' Grampa did you bring any more candy? :'''Jimmy''':''[Holding Hope as she laughs at Maw Maw]'' Mom! :'''Virginia''': Oh, my god. Burt, Maw Maw got into the candy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia''': You were supposed to be watching Maw Maw. When she gets into the candy, she thinks she's 9 years old again. :'''Burt''': I like 9-year-old Maw Maw, we play jacks. === ''Family Secrets'' [1.06] === :'''Jimmy''': Did you guys lie to me? :'''Burt''': She did - not me, I do not practice "deceitary." :'''Virginia''': What about "I know what I'm doing - you won't get pregnant?" :'''Burt''': I believed it at the time. :'''Jimmy''': What did you lie to me about mom? :'''Virginia''': It doesn't matter - they were dumb little nothings. Like when Rexie died, he didn't really go to hunt rabbits with [[w:Stone Cold Steve Austin|Stone Cold Steve Austin's]] dogs. And the reason you shouldn't pick your butt is not because there's an eel living in there and he might bite your finger off, it's just because you shouldn't pick your butt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': Can we start saying 'execute' again? I thought 'put her down' would be nicer for the baby but it's still feeling like she died at the pound. :'''Burt''': I thought 'barbecue' her was a smart way to live it up but no one wanted to try that. :'''Jimmy''': "Hope, your mommy's not here because the governor had her barbecued." Ah, it is close. There's pros and cons. === ''The Sniffles'' [1.07] === :'''Burt''': Slow down there Jimmy. Do you even know what the hell you are doing? :'''Virginia''': Of course he knows what he's doing Burt. It's a computer, not a condom. === ''Blue Dots'' [1.08] === :'''Jimmy''': You're sure you don't want to brush your hair? :'''Virginia''': Oh right, 'cuz if I'm going to be picking up bottles and old rubbers, I really want to look my best. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''':[at the first neighbor's doorstep] Hi. Are you looking for someone to care for your lawn? Cause I'm not one of those mow and blow guys. Cause I will weed, prune, plant. I'm dependable and trustworthy. Here's my card. :''[gives the neighbor his card.]'' :'''Burt''': Also I'm a sexual offender. :''[the neighbor tosses his card and closes the door. At the next neighbor's house]'' :'''Burt''': Good News, I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. Bad News, I'm a sex offender. :''[another neighbor closes her door. At another neighbor's house, Burt is seen though the top of the front door's small door.]'' :'''Burt''': Hello, I'm your neighbor, Burt Chance. I just want to let you know there's a sexual predator living in the neighborhood. It's me! :''[The neighbor closes the door. The scene changes to Burt at another neighbor's house giving back her staple gun.]'' :'''Burt''': About 8 years ago, I borrowed your staple gun. Oh, also I'm a sexual predator. :''[The woman tries to hit Burt with a staple gun and he runs. She tackles him to the ground and put staples on his back with a staple gun.]'' === ''Meet the Grandparents'' [1.09] === :'''Virginia''': ''[to Jimmy]'' I'm allowed to criticize you. I made you. You're my mistake. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sabrina''': Worst Thanksgiving ever. We had this cheese sauce that irritated my Dad's IBS - he spent the whole afternoon in the bathroom but forced us to include him via video chat. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, well my baby was stolen - twice. :'''Sabrina''': I can't beat that - let's drink! === ''Burt Rocks'' [1.10] === :'''Burt''': If I go suck on stage I've got nobody to blame but myself. :'''Jimmy''': I get that, I do, but you also spent 20 years being known as a yard and pool guy and I think I remember you saying you wanted to be known for something more. ''[Burt nods]'' You can do this Dad, I know you can and if you don't I'll still love you but you gotta try! :''[Burt moves forward to hug Jimmy, Jimmy backs away and holds up a finger to signal Burt to stop]'' :'''Jimmy''': Do not kiss me on the lips! :'''Burt''': You stop saying stuff that makes me want to! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': Babies are cool... until you've done everything there's to do with them, then you get bored. That's why TV shows about babies never last more than a year. === ''Toy Story'' [1.11] === :'''Virginia''': ''[to Kate]'' I am fine with an Asian Jesus, but let's be real here: that's a 3-year-old fat kid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maw Maw''': ''[looking at herself in the mirror dressed as a wiseman]'' Who the hell moved my vagina? === ''Romeo and Romeo'' [1.12] === :'''Sabrina''': ''[seeing Jimmy and Justin hang out]'' Look at you two hanging out-like two penises in a pod. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maw Maw''': ''[wheeling out from under Burt's truck]'' Well the universal ball joint's no picnic, but the transmission's been leaking around four spots. Why didn't you have me look at it earlier? :'''Burt''': You're never lucid for this long. Had a chance last week, but by the time I got you in the coveralls, you thought you were an exterminator and spent three and a half hours under the house. :'''Maw Maw''': Did I kill anything? :'''Jimmy''': Two rats and a snake. :'''Maw Maw''': Man, the things you people tell me I do. Getting old is quite a ride. === ''A Germ of a Story'' [1.13] === :'''Burt''': People in glass houses should not throw stones...or sleep naked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': ''[about picking his nose with all of his fingers]'' I like to mix it up. Different ones get to different places. === ''What Up, Cuz?'' [1.14] === :''[Burt is in his underwear hiding from Maw Maw, who thinks he is her dead husband Wilfred]'' :'''Burt''': Hey, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, Dad? :'''Burt''': You think this kind of stuff happens in other people's houses in the middle of the night and they're just too embarrassed to talk about it? :'''Jimmy''': I hope so. :'''Burt''': Me, too. :'''Jimmy''': Good night. :'''Burt''': Good night. :'''Maw Maw''': Wilfred! <hr width='50%'> :'''Virginia''': Well, I couldn't have her come over and see what a mess my life was. You both had boots on your head. === ''Snip Snip'' [1.15] === :''[After Maw Maw readily voted with Jimmy]'' :'''Burt''': She is only allowed to vote if she's lucid. :'''Virginia''': Maw Maw, we are currently at war with what country? :'''Maw Maw''': Iraq and Afghanistan. :'''Jimmy''': Is she right? :'''Burt''': I think so, but I'm not sure. :'''Maw Maw''': It's right, you morons. One more reason why you shouldn't have another baby. Look, we're five people living in a four person house. We need another baby like we need a gorilla throwing fireworks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia''': We are responsible! We're also passionate and spontaneous. :'''Burt''': Yeah those would be our gladiator names if we were on American Gladiator. === ''The Cultish Personality'' [1.16] === :'''Bruce''': ''[about Mike]'' When you find him, beat him black and blue. :'''Policeman''': I'd love to, but with the internet and phone cameras, the fun's over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': ''[to Mike]'' I wish your dad was here for this, but he's busy being a big throbbing tool. Let's call him up and rub the happiness in his face. === ''Mongooses'' [1.17] === :'''Natalie''': You can't fight a mountain lion. All you can do is lay back and go meet Jesus. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': Pygmies freak me out. The women run around topless. They look like little girls with knockers. === ''Cheaters'' [1.18] === :'''Virginia''': All college guys cheat when they're in a long distance relationship. Why do you think I didn't let your dad go off to college? :'''Jimmy''': 'Cuz he didn't graduate high school? :'''Virginia''': For your information, there are universities that advertise on late night television that are willing to overlook that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': Noses are the unsung hero of the face, ties the whole thing together. Name one good looking person without a nose...can't do it. === ''Sleep Training'' [1.19] === :''[Zoe walks into the studio completely naked]'' :'''Rosa''': Jimmy, you look so freaked out, like a deer caught in his girlfriend's high beams. :'''Jimmy''': I'm not freaked out. I always figured the first time I saw her naked would be with a bunch of strangers and my mom's boss. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Donovan''': Hell Chinese moms don't even give the kid a pillow. Yeah, they throw a violin and a laptop in the crib and say "Learn it by morning, donkey!" I mean, that's why the Chinese are beating us at everything. === ''Everybody Flirts...Sometimes''[1.20] === :'''Virginia''': ''[to Gary]'' I'm sure somewhere out there there is a woman that wants to be lured into your apartment to find you naked. Maybe you should try Greg's List! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Burt''': When it comes to being a hunter gatherer, I don't have a lot of weapons. I'm not that bright, I'm not that smart, and I don't have a lot of intelligence. ===''Baby Monitor'' [1.21] === :'''Jimmy''': ''[after seeing Sabrina's commercial]'' That's not fair. You used my daughter without my permission. Would you make your own baby? :'''Frank''': Yeah. Come on Sabrina. Let's go make our own baby! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia''': Burt, why are you infusiating yourself in other people's lives? :'''Burt''': I like this guy. He reminds me of me. We both have brown hair and hate museums. ===''Don't Vote for This Episode''[1.22] === :'''Rosa''': It seems my mother thinks that your son is the Devil. :'''Virginia''': Hah! I kinda doubt the devil would still be a virgin at eighteen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia''': Did you hear that? Maw Maw's got a surprise for you Jimmy! :'''Jimmy''': ''[slams his hand onto the table]'' You know that's not my name! If you want to address me, you must call me Drakkar Noir. :'''Virginia''': Like the man's perfume, right? :'''Jimmy''': It means Black Dragonship. :''[momentary pause]'' :'''Burt''': Your makeup looks nice today. ==Season 2== ===''Prodigy'' [2.01]=== :''[The Chances visit the doctor to learn more about Jimmy's talent and memory loss]'' :'''Jimmy''': ...and I haven't been able to remember anything, and I haven't been able to play the piano or sing ever since. :'''Dr. Finklestein''': That's fascinating! Because when you guys walked in here, I thought for sure you were looking for oxycontin. <hr width="50%"> :'''Virginia''': ''[to Jimmy after he realizes he used to know how to perform]'' Okay, fine... at one point in your life, you might have been a little... amazingly talented. ===''Sabrina Has Money'' [2.02]=== :'''Sabrina''': I cut myself off. I'd would rather live like crap on money that I earned myself than live like a princess on money that somebody else gave me. :''[The Chances burst out laughing]'' :'''Burt''': That is the dumbest thing I ever heard. :'''Virginia''': Money you don't have to work for is the best kind. :'''Burt''': It's like getting paid for not having a job. It's the best kind of job not to have. <hr width="50%"> :'''Jimmy''': Oh, my God, you think you're better than them. :'''Sabrina''': That's-that's Not what I'm s--Okay, the thing is, is that what--Oh, come on, you got to give me Frank; I'm better than Frank. :'''Jimmy''': No, you're not. You're smarter and less creepy than Frank, but Frank is better at not feeling superior to people. ===''Kidnapped'' [2.03]=== :'''Virginia''': That's the reason your father's always hated cauliflower. :'''Jimmy''': No, I thought it was because it's not a real flower and it looks like brains. :'''Virginia''': Fine, he has a lot of good reasons to hate cauliflower. <hr width="50%"> :'''Jack''': Look, we're both straight. We're just two straight guys kissing, thinking about girls. :'''Burt''': How about this? How about you go find a girl? :'''Jack''': Dude, we live in an RV. We eat leftovers out of hotel hallways. That's, I mean, there aren't going to be any girls. ===''Henderson, Nevada-Adjacent Baby! Henderson, Nevada-Adjacent!'' [2.04]=== :'''Delilah''': We are sparing no expenses since my Air Force officer just got a big fat bonus for--well, I can't tell you why, but let's just say the Israelis are gonna get blamed for it. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sabrina''': You gonna go? I didn't really think you were the Vegas type. :'''Jimmy''': That's because you only really know "Daddy" Jimmy. You don't know "sex in the back of my van with a serial killer" Jimmy. I used to be a wild man before this little ball-and-chain came and threw a wet blanket on my party fire. :'''Sabrina''': Oh. :'''Jimmy''': She is cute, though, isn't she? Oh, Daddy can't do nothing anymore now you came along, you little cutie patootie.

Have we just given up? ===''Jimmy and the Kid'' [2.06]=== :''[Jimmy and Sabrina are watching Frank serve a woman at the deli counter]'' :'''Sabrina''': "Yo, my parents named me Frank, 'cause they love tube-shaped meat." :'''Jimmy''': Let me do the lady. "I'll take a quarter pound of the chicken salad." :'''Sabrina''': But that's what she would probably say. :'''Jimmy''': I know. That's why I said it. :'''Sabrina''': Yeah, you don't get what we're doing, do you? <hr width="50%"> :'''Virginia''': Burt, I will steal coins from a fountain, I'll even do clinical drug trials again, as long as I'm not the placebo; I don't like feeling tricked. But there is no amount of gold that's worth rummaging through that lady's butt custard. ===''Burt's Parents'' [2.07]=== :'''Sabrina''': So I take it Burt's relationship with his parents is kind of estranged? :'''Virginia''': Oh, no, it's completely strange. :'''Sabrina''': Two malaprops in a row.

Keep getting grades like that, I'm going to have to get a second job. :'''Young Burt''': Hey, I got two "A's" on my report card. :'''Young Bruce''': You know what else has two "A's"? "Jackass." :'''Ralph''': (laughing) We don't mean to laugh, but your brother's very clever. "Jackass" does have two "A's" in it. In the spellin--there's two "A's" in the--Go play with your trucks. ===''Bro-gurt'' [2.08]=== :'''Virginia''': What about a TV channel just for news? Wait - they'll have to fill up too many hours and resort to sensationalizing non-issues and stirring up partisan bickering. Scratch that idea. It sucks. <hr width="50%"> :'''Jimmy''': I'm not gonna argue with her. That's what Wyatt does, and I'm gonna do the opposite. :'''Frank''': ...The opposite of the guy she has sex with. Good strategy. ===''The Men of New Natesville'' [2.09]=== :'''Burt''': You got to get your edge back, man. :'''Jimmy''': I haven't lost my edge. :'''Virginia''': ''[walks in carrying frilly hats]'' It was a windy day outside the black church, so I got a couple of good ones.

You seen Jimmy? :'''Frank''': No. I haven't seen Jimmy. Jimmy who? :'''Burt''': Jimmy, my son. He went out with you last night. :'''Frank''': Nope. :'''Burt''': What's with the tarp and the shallow grave you're digging there? :'''Frank''': I may be putting in a pool. Or digging to China. What business is it of yours? I think you're the one who's shallow. :'''Burt''': Cards on the table, Frank: Did you kill my boy? ===''It's A Hopeful Life'' [2.10]=== :''[Jimmy catches his friends in line to see a movie spoofing him and his family]'' :'''Jimmy''': Hey, what are you guys doing?! You promised me you weren't gonna see the movie! :'''Frank''': To be fair, we never thought you'd find out. :'''Barney''': Sorry, James. It looks funny. I did it for employee morale. Not yours, of course. If you were anyone but you, you'd understand. :'''Sabrina''': Guys, I got a purse full of licorice--Ooh!

God, I wish I had $20. ===''Mrs. Smartypants'' [2.11]=== :'''Jimmy''': Have you tried making a Checker-Bucket? It's where you put the checkers in, and let them take it out one at at a time.

Less drag. <hr width='50%'> :'''Frank''': Three years ago, Barney bet me I couldn't fit ten marshmallows in my mouth. Two weeks later, we were selling our blood for some action on women's bowling. Gambling is a harsh mistress. ===''Jimmy's Fake Girlfriend''[2.14]=== :'''Jimmy''': Did she sound snippy? :'''Frank''': Hard to tell.

I'll explain later. ===''Throw Maw Maw From the House - Part 1'' [3.02]=== ===''Throw Maw Maw From the House - Part 2'' [3.03]=== :'''Sabrina''': So far, we have figured out which random household item will represent each one of us. And I still don't think it's funny that you made me the nutcracker. :'''Burt''': Oh, it's not what you think. It has nothing to do with that creepy vacant stare you do. We just chose that because you're always breaking Jimmy's balls. :''[Sabrina glares at Burt; Burt recoils in fear]'' :'''Jimmy''': There's the stare... :'''Sabrina''': Jimmy... :'''Virginia''': And there's the crunch. :'''Sabrina''': Okay, does anybody actually have a plan?? ===''If a Ham Falls in the Woods'' [3.04]=== :''[During a couples compatibility game]'' :'''Reverend Bob''': A meteor is heading to your house.

She's right on that one. <hr width='50%'> :''[In response to the question, "What did the men say is your most embarrassing secret?"]'' :'''Sabrina''': I'm afraid of spiders crawling in my ears, so sometimes I sleep with a panty-ho on my head. :''[Jimmy flips over his card: "Sits backwards on the toilet when she poops"]'' :'''Sabrina''': I enjoy reading, and sometimes it's easy to put the book on the the back of the toil--Okay, you know what, great.

I cannot let you eat Mr. Jenkins' pasta in special Alfredo sauce. :'''Burt''': Why not? :'''Waiter''': Because ''I'' am Alfredo. ===''The Walk for the Runs'' [3.08]=== :'''Jimmy''': I'll walk the 1k. And you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Barney's up here courageously admitting that he has a serious condition, and you guys are acting like children. :'''Barney''': Thank you, James. At least there's someone here that knows that ABS is nothing to joke about. We need to voice our support because silence can be deadly. The fight against ABS will get the push it deserves to finally make a big splash. Sufferers of this condition are tired of hiding like turtles in their shells. It's time for this turtle's head to poke out! :'''Jimmy''': Barney, you're not doing yourself any favors. :'''Barney''': Uh, Ricardo. Could you please stop pinching that loaf? :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. Seriously? <hr width='50%'> :''[Burt has dyed his hair and eyebrows shoe-polish black]'' :'''Burt''': Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! :'''Virginia''': What the hell is up with your hair? :'''Burt''': Nothing. Just decided to touch it up a little, that's all. :'''Virginia''': Well, you look like one of those birds from that [[w:Exxon_Valdez_oil_spill|Juan Valdez oil spill]]. :'''Burt''': Oh, please. It's such a double-standard. How come you get to cheat to look younger? I've seen your drawer in the bathroom. It's one set of vampire fangs away from being a special effects studio. ===''Squeak Means Squeak'' [3.09]=== :'''Jimmy''': I think it's time we had an honest, heart-to-heart talk about something that we all feel is becoming a problem. :'''Sabrina''': Okay yes, sometimes I eat dirt! So what, Einstein ate dirt. Einstein! :''[Awkward silence]'' :'''Sabrina''': This... wasn't about the dirt, was it. :''[Awkward silence]'' :'''Sabrina''': Is this about how I count the number of words in every sentence; 13. :''[Awkward silence]'' :'''Sabrina''': You know what, Burt was right. I'll just listen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': What if it's hereditary? What if I just don't have the parenting gene? :''[Burt pushes a potted plant towards Sabrina with his foot]'' :'''Sabrina''': Okay, it's called [[w:Geophagia|geophagy]]. I sense you have questions, go ahead. :'''Burt''': Do you have to wash your hands before you eat dirt? If it falls on the ground, is there a five-second rule? Have you ever tried sand? Is Mexican dirt spicy? If you swallow an apple seed, will you poop a tree? ===''The Last Christmas'' [3.10]=== :'''Mike''': That's my worst fear; to [[w:Pilot_(Raising_Hope)|be here one day]] and [[w:Dead_Tooth|gone the next]]. Like I never even existed. <hr width='50%'> :'''Maw Maw''': I've only got three things left on my bucket list, and I need to get into a fistfight. :'''Jimmy''': Maw Maw, I'm not gonna fight you. You're a million years old and you broke your pelvis falling off the roof of that car. :'''Maw Maw''': I'm sorry, what did you just say? I'm not fluent in wussy. :'''Sabrina''': I'll fight you. :'''Maw Maw''': You will? :'''Sabrina''': Oh, yeah. I've been wanting to punch you in the face ever since you told me I looked like [[w:Ralph_Macchio|Ralph Macchio]] in drag. :'''Maw Maw''': Let's do this. ===''Lord of the Ring'' [3.12]=== :'''Sabrina''': If you must know, my family has a little bit of a body hair issue. And believe me, this is nothing. I've got an aunt that looks like Borat. :'''Virginia''': You get weirder and weirder every week. <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': All I want is a marriage like yours. One of the reasons I fell in love with Jimmy is the possibility of getting that. :'''Virginia''': That's why you fell in love with him? Because Burt and I have never been able to figure that one out. ===''What Happens at Howdy's Doesn't Stay at Howdy's'' [3.13]=== :''[Virginia tries to secretly remove a bag from the refrigerator]'' :'''Burt''': What's that? :'''Virginia''': Uh, nothing. Just some boring girl stuff I bought for the bachelorette party. :'''Burt''': So boring you had to hide it in the vegetable crisper? :'''Virginia''': Okay, fine. It's a bag of penises. :'''Burt''': ''[Apprehensively]'' Whose are they, and why do they have to be kept crisp? <hr width='50%'> :'''Jimmy''': ''[Finishing a Mad Lib during his bachelor party]'' Okay, that's the last word. So the story is: "I was 'bored' in my 'bored' hat and went to my 'boring' room, where I saw a 'bored' that was eating my giant 'this sucks'." I don't think that even makes sense. ===''Modern Wedding'' [3.14]=== :'''Burt''': Just keep her away from us from now on, okay? I mean, no offense, but we're kind of done with the whole "Lucy coming back from the dead" thing. It's like, every year we think she's gone, and then [[w:Raising_Hope_(season_2)|she comes back in some crazy way, messes up our lives again]]. It's getting old. <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': All right, Mom. That's it. Thank you so much for this incredible gift. We're gonna cherish it forever. I'm sure we're gonna watch it a million times. And, um, when we do, I want Jimmy to hear this last part. Jimmy, you always make it seem like you're lucky to have me as your wife, but I'm the lucky one. I'm lucky to have you and Hope and your entire family in my life, and sometimes I feel like I don't say that to you enough, but it's true. And when we watch this with our grandkids one day, I want them to know how much you mean to me. I love you. :''[Blows kiss to camera and walks away; Burt jumps out from behind couch and attacks cameraman]'' ===''Yo Zappa Do (Part 1)'' [3.15]=== :''[Jimmy and Sabrina have dressed up in goth outfits to have sex just as the rest of the family walks back into the hotel room]'' :'''Virginia''': Dress-up sex on your honeymoon? You're leaving yourself nowhere to go on a rainy Thursday in year four. :'''Burt''': Jimmy, my instructions were "kiss, get undressed, then do it". Not "do it dressed like KISS"! <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': Hey, guys, they just started serving breakfast downstairs. You might want to get down there quick before they run out of Danish. Jimmy and I will meet you down there in 15 or 20 minutes after we get ready. ...Alone. On our honeymoon. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, I don't know. Don't want to miss the Danish... :'''Sabrina''': ''[puts up a hand to stop him]'' You're gonna want to stick around. ===''Yo Zappa Do (Part 2)'' [3.16]=== :'''Virginia''': Child stars go downhill no matter how good they act. They could star in a [[w:The_Goonies|Spielberg movie]] and still end up [[w:Martha_Plimpton|playing the nutty mom]] on [[w:Raising_Hope|some sitcom]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Burt''': Which one of you is from NBC? :''[Executive raises hand; Burt kicks him in the groin]'' :'''Burt''': That's for canceling [[w:My_Name_Is_Earl|My Name is Earl]]!! ===''Mother's Day'' [3.22]=== :'''Sabrina''': Over the last few years, you have been more of a mother to me than my mother ever was. I want you to have this. :''[Hands Virginia macaroni necklace]'' :'''Virginia''': I see what you're doing, and it's very sweet, but-- :'''Sabrina''': What's my favorite color? What is it? :'''Virginia''': Orange. :'''Sabrina''': And you know that because? :'''Virginia''': Because, for your wedding, you and I spent two days driving to every supermarket in town buying all the orange flowers. :'''Sabrina''': And how did I chip my tooth? :'''Virginia''': You thought you could skateboard drunk on Cinco de Mayo. And you not only chipped your tooth, you sprained your ankle. :'''Sabrina''': And when did I start walking again? :'''Virginia''': Three days later on Ocho de Mayo. <hr width='50%'> :'''Shelly''': So, your mother never called, huh? :'''Sabrina''': No. :'''Shelly''': I'm sorry. :'''Sabrina''': That's okay. I'm with my family. ==Season 4== ===''Deja Vu Man'' [4.01]=== :'''Sabrina''': Jimmy, do you remember how we talked about not letting your parents drag us into something crazy every week? <hr width='50%'> :'''Arnold''': I'm not one for melodrama, so goodbye forever. ===''Burt Bucks'' [4.02]=== :'''Barney''': Unfortunately, I took six brutal beatings before I learned there was no merit badge for cruelty, and I'd been letting the scouts pummel me for no real reason. <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': It's more of those postcards from my mom. What are they doing out here? :'''Jimmy''': I always, um, hide them in here before you see them, because I know how much they upset you. I'm sorry. :''[Sabrina kisses Jimmy]'' :'''Jimmy''': What was that for? :'''Sabrina''': Because you committed a federal crime to protect my feelings. Oh, Jimmy, don't you see? I may have saved you a couple times, but you save me every day. :'''Josh''': I miss my prison husband. :'''Sabrina''': What? :'''Josh''': Nothin'. ===''Ship Happens'' [4.03]=== :'''Sabrina''': There's a rip in the side of this mountain. :'''Burt''': Of course there is. That's... "Rip Mountain". <hr width='50%'> :'''Marina Employee''': Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no. No one is allowed in the boat. Didn't you read the contract? :'''Sabrina''': Oh, yeah, I read every word. That's why my daughter's wearing a snorkel on a road trip. ===''Hi-Def'' [4.04]=== :'''Virginia''': The only doctor I go to is Dr. Vajajay. ...He's Indian. That's his name. He looks after my hoo-hah. :'''Jimmy''': Gross. :'''Burt''': I assure you, it is not. <hr width='50%'> :''[Burt is panicking about his colonoscopy]'' :'''Burt''': Get me the hell out of here. I don't want to die with a camera up my poop chute! :'''Jimmy''': Dad, it says "unlikely." :'''Burt''': "Unlikely"? Unlikely things happen all the time. Michael Jordan grew a Hitler mustache. That came out of nowhere. Nowhere! ===''Extreme Howdy's Makeover'' [4.05]=== :'''Sabrina''': You can't live your life without taking risks. Sometimes you've just got to jump in and marry the grocery bagger with the serial killer's baby. ...That happened to somebody I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': Hey! How's it going? :'''Jimmy''': It's tough. I haven't found that thing. You know, that muse thing. :'''Sabrina''': ''[Grins, points to herself]'' Ooh! What about me? I can be your muse. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, cards on the table: I'm not entirely clear on what a muse is or does. ===''Adoption'' [4.06]=== :'''Jimmy''': How am I supposed to do a rebirthing? I've never even seen an actual birth. Hope was born in a jail. :'''Barney''': Frank and I could help you. :'''Frank''': Oh, yeah, totally. Rebirthing ceremonies are simple. :''[Jimmy and Barney give Frank a look]'' :'''Frank''': Sometimes insomnia can drive a man to the deep dark corners of the Internet. <hr width='50%'> :''[Burt and Virginia are pretending to be lawyers]'' :'''Burt''': Mr. Lennox, is it true that you decapitate puppies as a hobby? ...Withdrawn. Weren't you a member of the Taliban? ...Withdrawn. A pedophile? ..Withdrawn. A thief? ..Withdrawn. Defecated in an avocado field? ...Withdrawn! :'''Judge''': Mr. Chance, enough of this. Damn Law and Order ruined an entire generation of lawyers. ===''Murder, She Hoped'' [4.07]=== :'''Virginia''': Bet those snobs in the hoity-toity neighborhood don't have to deal with their power going out. :'''Sabrina''': Jimmy, speaking of which, that's us. Let's go home. <hr width='50%'> :'''Virginia''': You were right, Burt. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. :'''Burt''': That's okay. I'm almost never right. You were just playing the odds. ===''Dysfunction Function'' [4.08]=== :'''Burt''': So did you and Sabrina enjoy your night alone last night? :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, it was great. I think I tweaked my neck. Sabrina had me doing all sorts of crazy stuff. :'''Burt''': Really? :'''Jimmy''': Well, with Hope out of the house, we could get down to all the dirty stuff on our list. :'''Burt''': You have a list?? :'''Jimmy''': It was exhausting. We did it all. You know, I shampooed the carpet for, like, an hour. She cleaned the chimney. It was filthy. We were both pretty sore this morning, but, uh, she still had me mulch her flower box. :'''Burt''': Wow. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, well, next time you guys take Hope, I'm gonna oil up her chest in our bedroom. :'''Burt''': Now you're talking. :'''Jimmy''': It takes a while. She hasn't really taken care of it in years. It's kind of gross underneath. :'''Burt''': ''[Grimaces]'' Well, still, a chest is a chest. :'''Jimmy''': It is a nice chest. It's not as old or as beautiful as Maw Maw's. :'''Burt''': ''[Gags]'' I'm sorry, when you say "oil up her chest," what exactly do you mean? :'''Jimmy''': I mean just get some linseed oil and polish up the antique chest that Sabrina's uncle left us. :'''Burt''': Oh. :'''Jimmy''': What did you think? :'''Burt''': I thought you were talking about you and Sabrina having weird sex, and then, briefly, you wanting to feel up your great-grandmother. <hr width='50%'> :'''Virginia''': Obama made a law where everybody has to have affordable car insurance. It's called Obama-Car. ===''Bee Story'' [4.10]=== :'''Jimmy''': You should definitely do a protest. Paint signs, chain yourself to each other. Even if it takes all day marching around in the hot, blazing sun. :'''Sabrina''': God, I'm so glad you're into this. We should get started. :'''Jimmy''': Wait, I have to go with you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Sabrina''': You did it! You guys did what my environmental group could never do: Something. ===''Hey There, Delilah'' [4.11]=== :'''Burt''': You know, this wouldn't be our house if we just stayed with Jimmy and Sabrina. :'''Virginia''': No way. It's one thing to mooch off my grandmother, I'm not about to mooch off my own son. I have pride, Burt. Okay, the car wash is open. Let's go sneak a shower. ===''Hot Dish'' [4.12]=== :'''Burt''': ''[Blindfolded]'' Okay, that was interesting. Moist, chewy... I don't want to say "soapy" but it had a quality to it... :'''Virginia''': Burt, you just took a bite out of a sponge I left on the table! :'''Burt''': Hmm... better than I would have thought. <hr width='50%'> :''[Jimmy is about to pour radish juice into Virginia's casserole]'' :'''Jimmy''': I know what you did to Sabrina's casserole, and now I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine. :'''Virginia''': Before you do that, why don't you taste the medicine? :''[Jimmy drinks some radish juice, gags]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, it's horrible. :'''Virginia''': Not the juice. My casserole. :''[Jimmy tries Virginia's casserole, spits out in disgust, drinks some radish juice, gags]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, it's horrible! Why can't anyone cook anymore? Is it me? Maybe I went mouth-blind. Can people go mouth-blind? ===''Thrilla In Natesvilla'' [4.13]=== :''[After being warned by Frank that Barney is looking for a couple to double date with him and Maxine]'' :'''Jimmy''': Well, I think we should support Barney. :'''Sabrina''': Oh, I'm not going. It's not because of Barney, it's because of my aunt Maxine. She's always criticizing everything I eat, and what I wear, and how I married a guy who's just completely beneath... ''[stutters and averts eyes]'' my... wings. Like the wind! :'''Jimmy''': You can stop. ===''Road to Natesville'' [4.14]=== :'''Sabrina''': Well, after Frank volunteered, we kind of had to. I mean, he is officially the laziest guy in the store. :''[Holds up yearbook with photo of Frank sleeping on the job, captioned "Laziest Guy in the Store"]'' :'''Sabrina''': Barney does superlatives in the annual Howdy's yearbook. <hr width='50%'> :'''Frank''': It's the age-old romantic story. Boy wearing baby mask meets girl wearing horse-head mask. And then girl's mask comes off, and boy doesn't have the guts to tell her how he really feels about her. We've all seen it a million times. ===''Anniversary Ball'' [4.15]=== :'''Virginia''': You two are married now. Lying and being deceitful to get information out of him is your job, not mine. <hr width='50%'> :'''Burt''': A cowhand told me you wanted this. :'''Jimmy''': I thought Sabrina told you. :'''Sabrina''': It's cowboy-speak. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, right. ''[to Colt Palamino, awkwardly]'' Howdy, pilgrim. I like beans. ===''The One Where They Get High'' [4.16]=== :'''Sabrina''': Why don't you guys just dare him to stop? :'''Jimmy''': Apparently it's against the rules. :'''Burt''': It's like wishing for more wishes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Jimmy''': Oh, my God! She let a mummy into our house. :'''Sabrina''': What? :'''Jimmy''': Wait. Hang on. I think that might be Ashley. :'''Sabrina''': Good catch. ===''Baby Phat'' [4.17]=== :'''Sabrina''': There have been countless studies that show that all of the most successful babies have been born in November. Because they're the oldest in their class. :'''Jimmy''': One reason I support your theory is that it means we can have sex right now. <hr width='50%'> :'''Cop''': Turns out, all that stuff was real candy, which you were eating in a Dumpster. So the only thing you're guilty of is being gross, disgusting people who probably have hepatitis C. Please leave this police station and try not to touch anything on your way out. ===''Dinner with Tropes'' [4.18]=== :'''Sabrina''': I think you guys might be putting too much weight on TV. It's just a bunch of people saying clever quips followed by a catchy theme song. :''[Raising Hope theme song plays]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Virginia''': So, what's everybody up to next week? :'''Jimmy''': Not much. I'm gonna pretend to be Barney's girlfriend while his moms come to visit town. :'''Virginia''': Hmm. :'''Sabrina''': I've got to go meet my pregnant friend in an elevator. :'''Burt''': We couldn't think of anything new to do, so we're just gonna make a family video. You know, clip together some of our favorite moments from over the years. :'''Sabrina''': That sounds boring. :'''Virginia''': Oh, no. We're gonna talk in between the clips to spice it up a little. :'''Sabrina''': Oh. :''[Awkward silence, everyone walks away]'' :'''Virginia''': ''[Voiceover]'' ''Raising Hope'' was not filmed before a live studio audience. ===''Para-natesville Activity'' [4.19]=== :'''Tyler''': ''[regarding his grandmother's ghost]'' Did she say anything bad? She's a bit of a racist. <hr width='50%'> :'''Maw Maw''': So, you're just a strange man sneaking around my bedroom at night? Well, I guess I'm going to bed. By myself. No risk of pregnancy. I'll never remember. You'll never forget. ===''Man's Best Friend'' [4.20]=== :'''Sabrina''': I can't believe you used to use stray dogs to hook up with girls. :'''Jimmy''': Uh, excuse me. High school dropout working with his dad, living with his parents? My toolbox wasn't exactly overflowing. <hr width='50%'> :''[Michael has a spray bottle filled with "pee"]'' :'''Burt''': Is that real pee? :'''Michael''': If it was, would I do this? ''[squirts spray bottle into his mouth]'' :'''Burt''': Maybe... ===''How I Met Your Mullet'' [4.21]=== :'''Eleanor''': Here's chamomile with one sugar for you, and for the master of the house, chilled grape soda. :'''Jimmy''': Listen, Eleanor--My God, this grape soda is good. :'''Eleanor''': Oh, thank you. I went all the way to the bad part of town for it. :'''Jimmy''': That's nice. And also, Nana's dead. <hr width='50%'> :'''Virginia''': As a member of the domestic service community, normally right now I'd be giving you a long talking-to about abusing your maid, but your father might be dead. :'''Jimmy''': Eleanor, adjust my face to express shock. :'''Eleanor''': Very good, sir. :'''Virginia''': Allow me. ''[slaps Jimmy across the face]'' ===''The Father Daughter Dance'' [4.22]=== :'''Virginia''': We know what it's like to have an ungrateful child. And an uncoordinated child. And an underachieving child. But we stuck around. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, Mom. I'm right here. :'''Virginia''': And a child with an annoying voice. <hr width='50%'> :'''Jimmy''': You guys said, just last week, that room was still mine if if things didn't work out with Sabrina. :'''Sabrina''': ''[looks at Virginia, annoyed]'' Really. Just last week. :'''Virginia''': It was your anniversary, the subject came up. And to be clear, he had just told us he was getting you a box of envelopes. :'''Jimmy''': The first anniversary ''is'' paper. == Cast == * [[w:Lucas Neff|Lucas Neff]] - Jimmy Chance * [[Martha Plimpton]] - Virginia Chance * [[w:Garret Dillahunt|Garret Dillahunt]] - Burt Chance * [[Cloris Leachman]] - Maw Maw * [[w:Shannon Woodward|Shannon Woodward]] - Sabrina == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|1615919|Raising Hope}} [[Category:2010s American sitcoms]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:FOX shows]] [[Category:Single-camera sitcoms]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:TV shows about families]] n0v4vk8qdqlcvvk2l8ig76z81qol4th The Virginian 0 125526 3147504 3106156 2022-07-26T17:11:36Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:The Virginian (TV series)|The Virginian]]''''' (1962–1971) was an NBC western television series starring [[w:James Drury|James Drury]] and [[w:Doug McClure|Doug McClure]]. With 249 episodes, it ran for a total of 9 seasons from 1962 to 1971. Each episode was a total of 75 minutes long (without commercials). The show was well known for its excellent quality and story line. All nine seasons were filmed in color, which was unusual for most western series at the time. In the last season, the look of the series was redesigned and the series was re-titled, ''The Men From Shiloh.'' The Virginian remains a popular series to this day, with an large fan base around the world. ==The Virginian== * "This is [[Wyoming]] in 1897. It's a land of great, open spaces. A land that gives a man plenty of elbow room. Somebody once said that in Wyoming, you could look farther, and see less than any place in the world. Whoever said that couldn't have seen Wyoming as I have. To look at the mountains, and the valleys and the plains, you'd think nothing ever changes out here. Maybe that's true about the land. But it's not true about the people. They change. At least most of them. They've settled down. Twenty years ago, it was a different breed of men that came west. They were looking for adventure and excitement. There was plenty of adventure to go around, and lots of excitement! At first it was the Indians who provided the adventure. And for those who lived to tell about it, there was no question about it's being exciting. It was a time when life was cheap, and man lived for today. The odds were against his being around tomorrow, and he knew it. What's more, he liked it that way. This breed of man loved his life. It was everything he wanted. It was adventure, and excitement, and fun. When he worked hard, he fought hard, and he sure played hard. Then suddenly, one day his world was gone. The prairies and the mountains were the same. The cattle and the horses were the same. The west had grown up. It had changed. But this breed of man was still there. Still looking for the fun and headlong adventure. ** ''Introduction to the episode "West" [1.10]'' * "Before she testifies there's something I'd like to say. I don't know what you may have heard here today, what you have already in your minds, but I can tell you this. I was there when Dr. O'Neill made the decision to operate on Mrs. Anderson. She knew the risk she was taking, and she took it. The easy way would have been to let her patient die in agony. And now I want to ask you a question. Would this hearing ever had been held if Pat O'Neill weren't a woman? Doc Spalding has lost patients, every doctor has. So, just lets all of us be sure exactly what it is that's on trial here today. Is it the facts, or our prejudices?" * "He wants to be a hero in a uniform, so he had to go join up! He's a fool! He's about as much cut out to be a soldier as -- If you want to be a soldier you have to learn to take orders. Can you imagine Trampas taking orders from anybody? I mean ''anybody''!" * "I didn't need Trampas to point out the sorry shape we were in, but being Trampas he pointed it out anyhow..." ** Narration from the episode "A Small Taste of Justice" [6.14] * "Anyone will tell you Trampas is as trustworthy as they come. Take my word for it. * "And Trampas, this ''is'' a ''business'' trip." * "She’s just like any other woman - she thinks with her heart instead of her head." * "The dead have to be buried...There’s some things you make time for..." ==Trampas== * "Yo." * "She's saving herself for some tall, good looking cowboy with hair the color of autumn wheat." * "My Pa always said, 'Live fast, die laughing,' that's the way to do it." * "Suckers and mules, thats what work's for, and mule's got enough sense to turn his tail on it." *''[To the Virginian]'' I have never heard such hollerin' and shoutin' since the last time I asked you for a day off. * "The thing is, if a woman can't win an argument any other way she can always cry. Then she can't lose." * "Oh, I'm human, all right." * Now wait a minute. What did you expect me to do, tie him to the horse? Well, you can be sure of one thing. Whatever happens, I'll be blamed for it. I tried. I tried! * "I guess you said it yourself. I'm just a dumb cowboy. Well, maybe I'm dumb enough to believe that people should be honest and dumb enough to try to stop them when they're not." * "No need to push ''me'', Mister. If you're planning on making a move, make it." * "The Virginian can track a rabbit all the way to St. Louis." ==Other Cast Members== :'''Emmett Ryker''': Because I've decided what's the difference... if you let a bad man push you into doing wrong, or if you let your best friend push you... you're still wrong. == Season 1 == === ''The Executioners'' [1.1] === :''[The Virginian, Steve and Trampas meet Betsy out riding.]'' :'''Betsy''': Yes you are. :'''Steve''': I'm what?. :'''Betsy''': Well I've been thinking about this all day, and trying to make up my mind.

I believe he was called Trampas? :'''Judge Garth''': Oh. === ''Riff-Raff'' [1.7] === :''[The Virginian is telling Molly Wood to leave Trampas and Steve alone about joining the rough riders.]'' :'''Virginian''': Molly, don't try it with me! :'''Molly''': But you'd look awful handsome in uniform! :'''Virginian''': I'll bet. And don't put any more wild ideas in their heads. :'''Molly''': Is it such a wild idea? :'''Virginian''': It is. As a matter of fact, in those heads, any idea at all is a complete disaster. === ''If You Have Tears'' [1.20] === :'''Kyle Lawson''': ''[To Trampas about the Virginian]'' He still workin' you to death? :'''Trampas''': Tell him about it. :'''Virginian''': The only way he'll ever die from overwork is running away from it. :'''Trampas''': That an absolute true statement. :'''The Virginian''': I once knew a man who could barely write his own name, but he could talk to the birds, he could tell where a mountain cat walked across a bed of pine needles, he could tell his age by the trees, the weather by his bones...after he got old that is. I always considered him to be a poet.'' :'''Leona''': Who was he?" :'''The Virginian''': My father. === ''The Small Parade'' [1.21] === :''[Trampas tries to find homes for a group of orphans.] :'''Trampas''': I brought 'em back. :'''Steve''': Shultz wouldn't take 'em? :'''Trampas''': He'd take 'em but I wouldn't leave 'em. He went over them like he was buying horses. He even looked at their teeth. All he asked was how much work they could do. :'''Steve''': All kids got chores, you know. :'''Trampas''': Well, he had more than chores in mind. All he wanted was a lot of hard labor for no pay. It made me feel like that fella in Oliver Twist, that Fagin. :'''Steve''': You know what I think? I think you got soft headed. Couldn't let 'em go. That's what I think. === ''Run Away Home'' [1.29] === :''[Steve meets a man on the road while he is looking for the Virginian, after they are separated.]'' :'''Steve''': Hey mister, I could use some help. :'''Man''': Whoa. Now how did a young fellow like you get lost? Well, the nearest town is only about -- :'''Steve''': No, I'm not looking for a town. What I wanted to ask - :'''Man''': Don't tell me you're looking for work! Ah, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a job this time of year! :'''Steve''': No I'm not looking for work, I'm trying to track down a man. :'''Man''': Somebody robbed you, huh? Probably a railroad tramp. It happens all the time around here. :'''Steve''': It's a friend of mine! :'''Man''': A friend robbed you? Well no wonder you're looking for him! I'll tell you - any man that takes advantage of a friend -- :'''Steve''': He didn't rob me. We got separated. Now a farmer sold him a horse a few miles back with out a saddle, and I'm trying to find him. :'''Man''': Who, the farmer? :'''Steve''': My friend. You didn't happen to see him, did you? :'''Man''': How do you expect me to know who your friends are? :'''Steve''': He was riding a horse without a saddle on it. Now, did you happen to see anybody riding a horse without a saddle? :'''Man''': Oh. Haha! No, I haven't seen anybody like that, boy. Well, good luck!! :'''Steve''': I'll need it. :''[The Virginian is buying a horse from a man.]'' :'''Man''': In case you want to know, I call him Lightning. :'''Virginian''': Mister, the first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew you had a sense of humor. :'''Man''': For another 20 bucks I'll throw in this fine saddle! :'''Virginian''': No, thanks! I wouldn't want to rob you. ==Season 2 == === ''Stopover in a Western Town'' [2.10] === :''[A girl makes her horse rear in an unsuccessful attempt to appear helpless to the Virginian. While she rides the horse, he calmly re-ties his rope, and waits for her to come back.] :'''Virginian''': Good runner, isn't he? :'''Carolyn Witman''': Do you realize I could've been killed? :'''Virginian''': Do you realize I'm not quite as big a greenhorn as you thought I was? :'''Carolyn Witman''': I'll try to keep it in mind. :'''Virginian''': Good. === ''Seige'' [2.13] === :'''Duke Logan''': I don't know what you're up to, but we don't want your kind in our town. :'''Trampas''': My kind? What's that? :'''Duke Logan''': What you were when you left here. A card cheat, a shiftless, no good to anybody. You and your pa. :'''Trampas''': If my pa and me wanted to cheat, you would have never known about it. === ''A Bride For Lars'' [2.28] === :'''Trampas''': High man? :'''Steve''': High man. Not your deck. :'''Trampas''': Steve, you act as if you can't trust me. :'''Steve''': I don't know where you ever got that idea, Trampas. == Season 3 == === ''All Nice and Legal'' [3.11] === :'''Betsy Garth''': Trampas, if you were in trouble with the law would you go to a woman lawyer? :'''Trampas''': Why not, if she were pretty. :'''Betsy''': No, I'm serious. :'''Trampas''': I think women would make good lawyers. They're born devious. :'''Betsy''': Women are devious? Who was it that made a date with two girls for the same dance and then told them he was sick with quinsy and couldn't go? :'''Trampas''': That wasn't being devious. That's what you call self preservation. == Season 4 == === ''Ride a Cock-Horse to Laramie Cross'' [4.23] === :''[Trampas is on his way to Laramie with a woman faro dealer, a boy, and a baby. After making a messy diaper change, he lets the woman take over.]'' :'''Trampas''': I'll admit your diaper looks better than mine. Thought you said you didn't know anything about babies. :'''Melinda''': Oh, there's just some things that anybody knows, except those that are just plain ''stupid''. :'''Trampas''': I'm not stupid. I'm ignorant. There's a difference. ===''A Bald-Faced Boy'' [4.29] === :''[Ryker, Trampas and Randy are telling tall tales in the hotel's saloon.]'' :'''Trampas''': That ain't nothing. Why I had a rifle one time that could knock down a prarie dog two miles away. :'''Ryker''': That so? :'''Trampas''': Why I had the range measured by a licensed surveyor. Two miles even. That was his sworn testimony. :'''Randy''': I had a long rifle like that one time. Carried quite a bit further though. :'''Trampas''': Furthur? :'''Ryker''': Three miles. :'''Randy''': Carried so far I had to use smoked and salted bullets. :'''Trampas''': Smoked and salted bullets? :'''Randy''': Well like I said, it killed at such a distance, if I didn't use them smoked and salted bullets, the game would spoil before I could get to it. ==Season 5== ===''The Captive'' [5.3] === :''[Trampas has just returned from taking an girl to town, and he meets the Virginian and Stacey in the corral.]'' :'''Stacey''': What happened in town? :'''Trampas''': Plenty. She's staying here while they try and locate her real parents. :'''Virginian''': Stace told me what happened. :'''Stacey''': Is she still claiming to be an Indian? :'''Trampas''': It doesn't much matter to her what she is. She feels Indian, she thinks Indian, and that's the way she likes it. :'''Virginian''': What happened to the rustlers? :'''Trampas''': Old Man Grainger... ''(Trampas looks at Stacey)'' Uh... Mr. Grainger told the sheriff to send them back to the reservation. :'''Stacey''': Well that was real kind of Old Man Grainger. ''(Turns to The Virginian)'' You mind if I go up and see what's happening? :'''Virginian''': Go ahead. :'''Trampas''': How come Grainger sent me into town with him and sent Stace back to the range? :'''Virginian''': I guess he's just trying not to show favoritism. :'''Trampas''': Why he doesn't have to do that! I never think of Stace as being the boss's grandson. Until I call him Old Man Grainger. ===''Beloved Outlaw'' [5.11] === :''[Mr. Grainger and Trampas and discussing Liz's wanting to enter her horse in the Founder's Day Race.]'' :'''John Grainger''': Trampas, I wouldn't want her to know that we discussed this. :'''Trampas''': "You're right. Well, I guess I'll have to be sneaky about it. I'm pretty good at that." :''[Trampas sets Liz up to race with him, and she wins.]'' :'''Virginian''': Well, today's the big day. I'll be glad when this race is over and we can get some work done around here. :'''Trampas''': Well, all right, so I took a minute or two or three or four to-- :'''Virginian''': Any regrets? About getting her to race with you. :'''Trampas''': Now that you bring the subject up, no. Not after I saw the look on her face when she won. === ''Melanie'' [5.22] === :''[Trampas drives a new girl to town.]'' :'''Trampas''': There's not much to see in Medicine Bow. :'''Melanie''': It's not Medicine Bow I'm interested in. :'''Trampas''': What are you interested in? :'''Melanie''': You. :'''Trampas''': Why me? :'''Melanie''': I don't know. :'''Trampas''':Well, let's see if I can figure it out. Uh.. wealthy, spoiled Eastern girl comes west, finds things kind of dull, meets cowhand. Wants to stir up a little excitement, something she can tell her friends about back in Chicago. Hmm? :'''Melanie''': Well, maybe. But, I don't think so. But what about you? Why did you kiss me? :'''Trampas''': I don't know. :'''Melanie''': Well, maybe I can figure it out. Hard working, hard-headed cowhand gets a little bored with pretty little girls in calico. Meets wealthy spoiled Eastern girl, stir up a little excitement, something to tell the boys back in the bunkhouse. :'''Trampas''': ''[Smiles]'' Well. Let's find out. ==Season 6== ===''The Deadly Past'' [6.2] === :'''Stacey''': Elizabeth! :'''Elizabeth''': Stacey? Did you get it? Did it come? :'''Stacey''': What? :'''Elizabeth''': You know. :'''Stacey''': Godey's Ladies' Book. :'''Elizabeth''': Give it to me. :'''Stacey''': On one condition. ''(opens the book)'' Do you promise you won't wear that? :'''Elizabeth''': It's the latest thing! :'''Stacey''': I think there's uh.. a little too much going south for ladies going north. :'''Elizabeth''': I think a gentleman wouldn't look in a ladies magazine. :''[Stacey delivers Trampas' perfumed mail to the bunkhouse.]'' :'''Stacey''': Here's your mail, lover. :'''Trampas''': Thank you sir. :'''Stacey''': You sure you're not advertising for a wife or something? :'''Trampas''': Some people don't have to advertise. :'''Stacey''': Apparently not. === ''A Bad Place To Die'' [6.9] === :''[Trampas is falsely accused of murder and sentenced to hang.]'' :'''Luke Nichols''': A lot can happen in six days. You got friends outside? I mean real friends, not just poker playing and howdy-do friends. :'''Trampas''': No, They're real friends. :'''Luke Nichols''': Then you still got something left. You know a man comes in here, they take his pride and his pocketbook and they put them in a box in the warden's office. But if you've got friends outside, you've still got something left. Maybe the most important thing, boy. === ''Paid in Full'' [6.10] === :'''The Virginian''':"You're really letting him get under your skin, aren't you." :'''Trampas''':"Well, you're not making it any easier for me, making me work with him every day." :'''The Virginian''':"Because he's actin' like a kid is no reason for me to treat you like one." :'''Trampas''':"You mean to tell me with all the hired hands you've got I'm the only one that can work with Frank?" :'''The Virginian''':"I figure you're the ''best'' one to work with Frank." === ''The Gentle Tamers'' [6.19] === :'''Ranch Hand''': Anybody here know how to play poker? :'''Dick Shane''': Matter of fact, I give lessons. :'''Trampas''': Now, that's what I like to hear. Why, I got so I know personally every dollar bill in the house. Over here, boys. === ''The Crooked Path'' [6.22] === [''Trampas is a bit unhappy about having to look after Mr. Graingers' niece while the Graingers are away''] :'''Trampas''': So we've uh.. inherited Miss Melissa Wainwright for one week. :'''Virginian''': Not we! :'''Trampas''': Now wait a minute! :'''Virginian''': Me! :'''Trampas''': Oh. [''Young Kiley Cheevers has the tables turned on him after he tells some tall tales.''] :'''Kiley''': I don't know what I'd have done if I hadn't skipped out the back of that teepee. :'''Rondell''': I do. I was captured by those same Indians. :'''Kiley''': Yeah? :'''Rondell''': That's right. Just like you I was surprised they didn't kill me, but stuck me instead inside a teepee. And I want to tell you boy, if you hadn't escaped, you'd sure know what they was going to do to ya'. :'''Kiley''': What's that? :'''Rondell''': They were going to fatten you up, just like they did to me. Cornbread, Venison Meat, Gravy. I just couldn't figure it. Finally I saw a great big stew pot on the fire. Then I saw it. They was fattening me up to eat me. :'''Kiley''': How'd you escape? :'''Rondell''': Well son, I didn't. They ate me. === ''Stacey'' [6.23] === ''[Stace broke his arm, and is taking a few weeks off.]'' :'''Trampas''': How about it Stace? Want to come along? :'''Stacey''': Nah, I've got something more exciting to do. :'''Trampas''': Yeah? Like what? :'''Stacey''': You know that patch of grass up on the porch? :'''Trampas''': Yeah. :'''Stacey''': I'm going to sit in the shade and watch it grow. :'''Trampas''': You're going to si-- Well. Alright. == Season 7 == === ''Crime Wave in Buffalo Springs'' [7.17] === :'''Trampas''': Oh, Ohhh. Well, looks like the party's over. And you did a pretty good job of keeping me here while your sister and her boyfriend pulled off another robbery. :'''Geraldine''': Where are you going? :'''Trampas''': To complain about the champagne. It was flat. === ''The Price of Love'' [7.18] === :''The Virginian yells at Trampas for getting in a fight against orders, and Trampas' new friend, Denny (the instigator of the fight) enters the bunkhouse.'' :'''Trampas:''' I... it... well, it just couldn't be helped, that's all. :'''Virginian''': Just couldn't be helped. You had to step in there and start swinging at Kimbro's man. :'''Trampas''': Well they... I couldn't let them beat up on a man like that. :'''Virginian''': Well why'd he start the fight in the first place? He got a hot temper or something? :'''Trampas''': Well no, not exactly... Oh you'll like him. Wait till you meet him. :'''Virginian''': I'm going to meet him right now. Grainger's invited me to supper. :'''Trampas''': Good, good. :'''Virginian''': Now look Trampas, I hope your new friend hasn't said anything to Mr. Grainger about this fight in town. :'''Trampas''': Yeah. :'''Virginian''': He'd be pretty unhappy to hear about it. :'''Trampas''': Ummhum.... Yeah, he would. :'''Virginian''': He wants those water rights settled in court, not in a bar room rout on the range. :'''Trampas''': Uh huh.. :'''Virginian''': Yeah, you say "Uh huh" and you nod, but this isn't anything I want you to shrug off. Now I mean it Trampas! You better learn to control yourself when you get in a situation- :'''Denny''': ''(enters)'' Hey, hey, hey, what's all the yelling about, huh? :'''Trampas''': Oh we're not yelling. Uh, this here's the foreman - this here's Danny. :'''Denny''': Oh well, you're the one Mr. Grainger sent me down to fetch. Supper's almost ready. :'''Virginian''': I'll get my hat. :'''Denny''': You know from the way Trampas described you, I'd expected somebody different. :'''Trampas''': Uh Danny... :'''The Virginian''': You saying something to me? :'''Denny''': I just don't like being yelled at, or seeing my friends yelled at. :'''Trampas''': Denny. (in a nervous voice) Denny... uh..he's the foreman. :'''The Virginian''': You keep in mind what I said. :'''Trampas''': Oh, you bet. (The Virginian walks out) Uh, Denny look, uh, thanks for trying to help but uh... Denny? No, not with him... See, he'd my best friend! Best friend I got. And, uh, sometimes we just yell at each other...you know, doesn't mean anything... I yell at him...he yells at me. ==Season 8== ===''The Long Ride Home'' [8.1] === :'''Jim Horn''': Trampas? The other night when I tried to pick that fight with you, I know what you done for me, and well, anyway, I appreciate it. :'''Trampas''': "Well, I used to be a pretty feisty yahoo myself. So I know how it feels to be so hopping mad inside you want to take a swing at the whole cock-eyed world. The last time I tried was about eight years ago in a saloon full of cavalry troopers. It took about two black eyes and a mouthfull of knuckles to decide it wasn't too much fun when the world swung back." === ''The Girl in the Shadows'' [8.03] === :'''Trampas''': Howdy. Uh, what shall I do with these? :'''Liz''': Hmm.. Well, why don't you bring them in. :'''Trampas''': Hey! That's a good idea!

Our planet is the fourth in distance from the star you call Sirius, some 8.7 light years from Earth. This is the first time we have left our system, and you the first intelligent life we've encountered. We're pleased to meet you. We have come on behalf of our great Leader, him who governs our united planet with benevolence and wisdom. We have come because we need your help. Our planet is in serious environmental difficulty, far far worse than yours, it's reached the stage where we will be unable to survive without immediate assistance. There are certain chemicals and compounds which we must manufacture, which alone can save our struggling civilization. And you can help us manufacture these and in return, we will gladly share with you the fruits of our knowledge. :'''Kristine Walsh''': Unbelievable... :'''Michael Donovan''': Yeah... :'''John''': Now that we have established contact, we will like to meet with individual governments to make requests for certain operating plants to be retooled for the manufacture of the compound which we need. :'''Eleanor Dupres''': I hope they pick your plant! :'''John''': And we'll reward your generosity as I have said by educating your industrial and scientific complex to the limits of our knowledge, helping to solve your environmental, agricultural and health dilemmas. Then we'll leave you as we came... In peace. :'''Denny''': Talk about an offer we can't refuse, huh! :'''Juliet Parrish''': I wonder what would happen if we did... :'''John''': Now if our circumstances were reversed, and you had come to visit us, I know that I would feel a burning curiosity to see the inside your of spacecraft right away. :'''Robert Maxwell''': An understatement! :'''John''': With that in mind, I'd like to have the Secretary-General and several of your journalists accompany us back aboard our Mother Ship, for the first of many opportunities to get to know us better. My name is John. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ruby Engels''': Abraham, don't get so wound up. Nothing's going to happen. Not to you or your family. They're not doctors or biologists, or even scientists. You're not involved. Anyway, it's going to pass. :'''Abraham Bernstein''': That's what I said in 1938, back in Berlin. :'''Ruby''': But this is different. :'''Abraham''': ''[glances at his grandson Daniel wearing a Visitor Friends uniform and congratulated by Brian]'' Is it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diana''': Yes, but you know how impatient our Leader can be. :'''Steven''': Even with you? ''[Diana glares at him]'' I just thought that given the intimacy of your relationship, he might... :'''Diana''': Be ''very careful'', Steven. :'''Steven''': I just hate to see you maybe so distressed. :'''Diana''': He doesn't understand that my conversion process is still limited. Doesn't work the same on every subject. :'''Steven''': Yes, but when it does work, like Dividier, Jankowski, and the others, it's remarkable. :'''Diana''': Yes, it is. :'''Steven''': They actually believe that a conspiracy exists or even their part on it. :'''Diana''': And of course, the evidence we planted reinforces their beliefs. :'''Steven''': The operation is working perfectly. Scientists are be ostracized, disorganized throughout the world. :'''Diana''': Problem is, our beloved Leader says, "Why not just convert them all?" He doesn't understand that the human will is much, much tougher than we bargained for. To convert them all would take forever. However, we will continue to refine the process. :'''Steven''': Yes, I'm sure you will, successfully. :'''Diana''': We must find the most effective and efficient methods to be used against them. :'''Steven''': Oh I don't think our Leader could have possibly chosen anyone who could do a better job than you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Having escaped the LA Mothership, Mike Donovan reaches the local station and is allowed a chance to be in a special report for the 11PM news.

Their house is being watched now. :'''Stanley''': And so is ours! By Daniel! Tell them that we're sorry... :'''Abraham''': Stanley, you don't understand. They have to stay. They need a place to hide! :'''Stanley''': And why is that? :'''Abraham''': Because the father is a scientist - :'''Stanley''': - and therefore suspect! And a fugitive, I take it, which would make them doubly dangerous. :'''Abraham''': They have to stay. :'''Stanley''': And I'm telling you to get them out, before I... :'''Abraham''': I won't. :'''Stanley''': Then I will! :'''Abraham''': ''[shouts]'' NO, YOU WON'T!

You don't. Your mother, ''aluv shalom''...your mother didn't have a heart attack in the boxcar. She made it with me, to the [[w:concentration camp|camp]]. I can still see her, standing naked in the freezing cold. Her beautiful black hair was gone. They'd shaved her head.

Champagne for breakfast. :'''Stanley Bernstein''': Where'd you get it? :'''Daniel''': From a local merchant. One who knows the value of having friends. And now a toast-to my engagement. :'''Lynn Maxwell''': To whom? :'''Daniel''': Robin Maxwell. :'''Lynn''': ''[after looking at Stanley]'' But she's gone away, Danny. :'''Daniel''': Oh, not '''that''' far away. :'''Stanley''': How does Robin feel about this, Daniel? :'''Daniel''': She doesn't know about it, yet. You don't realize it. But I want her, so I'll get her, just as much as I wanted this champagne...and I got it. Otherwise, I'll just have to turn the whole damned family in. :''[Abraham Bernstein splashes his champagne into Daniel's face before walking out of the dining room.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Martin''': You know Diana, rather than putting Mr. Donovan away, he might prove very useful to us as a convert. :'''Diana''': My instincts tell me he'd be too difficult as a subject. That's why I decided not to bother. Take him to the final area. :'''Martin''': I always thought you thrived on challenges... :'''Diana''': I do, but I like better odds. :'''Martin''': That's curious, I would've have thought you'd find the difficult game far more interesting. But anyway, you're probably right. I don't think even you with all your abilities could ever turn this head of his...''[Turns to walk out of the room]'' :'''Diana''': Martin wait. Don't take him to the final area just yet... Perhaps I would enjoy the challenge of converting him. :'''Martin''': Well, as you wish, Diana. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Donovan''': That damn dragon lady can bend people's minds around, what the hell does she need a blowtorch for!? :'''Martin''': Conversion is a very difficult and time-consuming operation. When Diana simply needs some information, she'll do whatever's most effective and efficient... And she likes to do it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike sees the long rows of humans inside cryostasis tanks]'' :'''Martin''': The Leader needs them living. Some of them will be made into troops for battles with his enemy. :'''Mike Donovan''': What enemy? :'''Martin''': A force that has defeated him before. :'''Mike''': His enemy? That makes him our friends right? That's something to go on! :'''Martin''': ''[over Mike's comments]'' I don't know about that. :'''Mike''': You said some of them will be his troops. Not all. What about the others? :'''Martin''': In addition to the water... there is another basic shortage on our planet. :'''Mike''': ''[understanding in horror]'' Food! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Donovan''': How'd someone like that get to be your leader anyway? :'''Martin''': Charisma. Circumstances, promises... Not enough of us spoke out to question him until it was too late. It happens on your planet, doesn't it? <hr width="50%"/> :''[During Mike's second escape from the mothership, where he brings out Robin and Sancho aboard a Skyfighter with Martin's help]'' :'''Mike Donovan''': Martin. Say it man! You're scared. :'''Martin''': Yeah. It's very, very dangerous for me here now. :'''Mike''': ''[points to Sancho]'' What does he look like, a Sunday afternoon in Disneyland? I'm sure Barbara was scared and Tony too. Hell man, we're all scared, every last damn one of us! But we've each gotta help out in the best way we can. Now how about it, man? Are you game? :'''Martin''': You'll have a tendency to overcompensate. The controls are very, very sensitive. If you let it, Mike, it will almost fly itself. :'''Mike''': I hope so. ''[Just before settling at the controls, he reaches his hand to Martin]'' Hey. I'm proud to have you as a friend. :'''Martin''': ''[shakes hand]'' I hope we live to be old friends. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eleanor Dupres''': I know the Visitors aren't saints, but they're in power! They '''are''' power...You and I are in unique positions, don't you see that? Why not take advantage of- :'''Mike Donovan''': Because I can't survive at the expense of other people, it's not right! ''[pauses]'' You know, when I was a kid, there was a woman who taught me what was right and what was wrong...I wonder what became of her. ''[Eleanor smirks]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lynn Bernstein is made to read Abraham Bernstein's farewell letter as she refuses Robert Maxwell's pleas for help]'' :'''Lynn Bernstein''': 'My dear family, it's painful knowing that I will not see your faces anymore. I must take this stand for what I know is right. You may think that an old man wouldn't be afraid to die, but this old man is very frightened. I'm hoping that I'll find a little of your mother's ''[slows down as the gravity of his words take effect]'' dignity and strength. So far, I'm as frightened as a child who fears the dark. But we must fight this darkness that is threatening to engulf us. Each of us must be a ray of hope and do our part and join with the others till we've become a blinding light, triumphant over darkness. Until that task is accomplished, life will have no meaning. More than anything, you must remember always which side you're on and fight for it. Your mother and I will march beside you, holding hands again. We'll sing your song of victory. You'll feel us in your hearts. Our spirit...' ''[nearly breaks down]'' :'''Stanley Bernstein''': 'Our spirits will be with you always. And our love.' We have to help, or else we won't have learned a thing. == About ''{{PAGENAME}}'' == * Well, it’s funny…when I did ‘V’ originally, I of course went back and looked at Triumph Of The Will and the kind of propaganda films that Leni Riefenstahl had made for Hitler.

It is a sequel to [[V (1983 miniseries)|V: The Original Miniseries]]. == Dialogue == ===Episode 1=== :''[At the Los Angeles Medical Center, Kristine Walsh chances upon a well-known doctor while preparing news coverage of John's announcement]'' :'''Kristine Walsh''': Dr. Walker! Excuse me. Dr. Walker. ''[offers hand for handshake]'' Kristine Walsh. We met in Palm Springs, Gerald Ford's? I've been such an admirer of yours, I wanted to - :'''Walker''': I remember you, Ms. Walsh. You were a newswoman. :'''Walsh''': Well, I'm still a newswoman. :'''Walker''': No, Ms. Walsh, I know what you are, but you're certainly not a newswoman. At best, a press secretary; at worst, a collaborator. :'''Walsh''': ''[stunned at reaction]'' I don't know what you've been told, Dr. Walker, but I'm just doing my job. :'''Walker''': ''[contemptuous]'' Familiar words. I wonder how many times that phrase was used at the [[w:Nuremberg Trials|Nuremberg Trials]]. :'''Walsh''': ''[offended]'' That is insulting and untrue- :'''Walker''': Ms. Walsh, I'll tell you what ''is'' untrue. It is untrue that you're working for a benevolent regime. It is untrue that you're an impartial journalist. What's true is that fascists have taken over our planet. You're their [[w:Joseph Goebbels|minister of propaganda]]. You're a discredit to your profession. You've allowed personal ambition to corrupt your integrity, and you no longer have credibility. Good day. ''[Dr. Walker turns on his heel and walks away, passing Steven and Diana nearby, implying they witnessed the exchange.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[While thinking of how to counterfeit a security pass for the hospital raid]'' :'''Mike Donovan''': We need to get those passes. Mark, you're a cop. :'''Mark''': ''Ex''-cop. :'''Mike''': Elias, you're a hood. :'''Elias Taylor''': ''Ex''-hood. :'''Mike''': ''[rolls eyes]'' Together, I think you two could come up with the best [[w:counterfeiting|counterfeiter]] around. :'''Mark''': ''[after pondering]'' Pascal. :'''Elias''': Dan Pascal? :'''Mark''': Yeah. :'''Elias''': ''[sarcastic]'' If he's still alive. :'''Mike''': Find him. :'''Mark''': Ok. ''[motions to Elias]'' Let's go. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During John's announcement at the the Los Angeles Medical Center, the rebels suddenly spring up and hijack the place]'' :'''Ruby Engels''': ''[points a shotgun at Kristine Walsh, who sits at the camera area]'' All right, pretty face, grab some air! :'''Father Andrew''': ''[shoots into the air]'' Everybody freeze! :''[Elias and Robert hold John together while Mike grabs Diana at the top of the stairs]'' :'''Juliet Parrish''': The Visitors are not our friends! They've come to rape our planet and kill us! They are NOT who they appear to be! ''[Rips off part of John's face to the horrors of the audience, revealing a reptiloid face.]'' This is not science-fiction, this is what they are! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diana''': ''[to Steven]'' You're rather accessible. :'''Steven''': When the need arises. :'''Supreme Commander John''': ''[annoyed]'' You certainly made '''''us''''' rather accessible tonight. If Diana hadn't been able to cover for your incompetence with this bit of instant movie-making, our credibility on this planet would be all but destroyed. ===Episode 2=== :'''Ham Tyler''': I like to get everyone's attention. That way, I don't have to repeat myself. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Referring to Ham Tyler]'' :'''Martin''': Are there many more like him? :'''Mike Donovan''': Fortunately, selective breeding keeps their population to a minimum. :'''Ham Tyler''': You know, from this distance I could almost cut him in half. :'''Mike''': Anything more than a flesh wound and you get the same. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ham Tyler''': You know, if you let them live, Gooder, they're gonna breed. :'''Mike Donovan''': I prefer them to you. :'''Ham:''': I may bring the neighborhood down, but they'll eat it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pamela''': Diana, my dear, sex for favors is as old as ambition. And sex is much too fragile a platform to support your ambition. :'''Diana''': ''[acidly]'' You've managed. :'''Pamela''': That's because I've managed my ambition. You might reflect that your...lover...has sent you 65 trillion miles away from him...hardly an indication he can't bear to be apart from you... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diana''': Tell me, Mr. Donovan, what is your opinion of the truth? :'''Mike Donovan''': Depends on who I hear it from. ''[injects him with truth serum]'' :'''Diana''': What color is your hair, Mr. Donovan? :'''Mike''': ''[trying to fight the serum's effects]'' Blue. ''[She injects him a second time.]'' :'''Diana''': '''''What color is your hair, Mr. Donovan?''''' :'''Mike''': ''[gives in]'' ....brown... :'''Diana''': Yes...a lovely shade of brown. ''[tousles Donovan's hair]'' Tell me, Mr. Donovan...The Fifth Column...who is its' leader? ''[Try as he might, Donovan is absolutely powerless to resist...]'' :'''Mike''': Martin... ''[Both Diana and her guards whip around to face Martin, but he manages to drop both guards. Unfortunately, Diana manages to escape.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Diana''': ''[furious]'' I want the ship cordoned off! Search section by section! I want Donovan and that traitor found! :'''Supreme Commander Pamela''': ''[smug]'' Is that the sound of panic in your voice, Diana? :'''Diana''': ''[stern at reaction]'' The situation is under control. :'''Supreme Commander Pamela''': Oh, "under control," you say? One of your most trusted leftenants has betrayed you, escaped right under your nose with the leader of the Resistance, and you have the gall to tell me that everything is under control? :'''Diana''': They will be captured, and dealt with. :'''Supreme Commander Pamela''': Oh, I hope so...''[turns to leave, but turns back as if there was something she forgot to say. She closes the distance between herself and Diana.]'' Otherwise...I'll be forced to strip you of your command! Is that clear? :'''Diana''': Very. ''[Pamela exits.]'' ===Episode 3=== :''[During the capture of Brian at the Maxwell residence, Ham is about to thrust a broken bottle in Daniel's face as revenge for killing Ruby. Caleb holds him back.]'' :'''Caleb Taylor''': Are you gonna kill him? :'''Ham Tyler''': As many times as I can! :'''Caleb''': No, I got a better idea. ''[knocks out Daniel with a pistol-whipping to the back of his head]'' :'''Ham''': That's it? :'''Caleb''': Trust me! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Inside the Visitor security headquarters, after the Visitors beat up Daniel over Brian's capture and how he became the fall guy.]'' :'''Daniel Bernstein''': What are you going to do with me, Stephen? :'''Stephen''': Send you where you'll serve us well. :'''Daniel''': ''[Sees two white-coated orderlies enter the room]'' Where is that? :'''Stephen''': Where else? On a serving platter. ''[snaps fingers at guards]'' :'''Daniel''': No! Stephen, no!!!! NOOOO!!!!! ''[The guards haul off Daniel, followed by the orderlies]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Inside the Visitors' LA Mothership, Robin's daughter, Elizabeth, begins to type words in a computer. Diana is close by.]'' :'''Elizabeth''': ''[utters single word from computer]'' Pretanama. ''[Visitorese for 'Peace']'' :'''Diana''': It's not in our destiny. :'''Elizabeth''': Pretanama. :'''Diana''': NO! <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Resistance are debating whether to use the Red Dust following Martin's revelation that the LA Mothership could be primed to self-destruct, taking Earth with it]'' :'''Robert Maxwell''': Look, the man's just presented ''his'' side of the argument! :'''Ham Tyler''': There IS no argument! We either win, or we lose! There's no in-between! :'''Robert''': No! No! Because we're not talking about just the people here in this room! Look, be real clear, people: if we lose, then the WHOLE DAMN WORLD loses! :'''Julie''': ''[tiredly]'' We're not fighting the same war anymore. The rules have changed now, it's escalated way out of control. :'''Chris''': Yeah, see...war has a tendency to do that, ma'am. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyler''': The Visitors came here to suck us dry. When they're finished with this planet, they're gonna take it like an empty beer can and toss it over their shoulder. :'''Julie''': Nobody's calling them good guys, Tyler. No one's appealing to their better nature. You can't win a war if you're ''extinct! [she turns in appeal to the group]'' We've got to think of another way! :'''Elias''': ''[very quietly]'' There ''is'' no other way. There's no time. Look, if Martin knows about the Red Dust, then you can believe Diana does, too - and if she doesn't, then she will in a few days. Hey...hey, as...as ragged an' as ordinary as this little bunch is...we're the last shot before the buzzer. :'''Julie''': 'Last' is ''exactly'' right. :'''Elias''': ''[louder]'' Now if we attack - if we attack, at least we got a fightin' chance. We do nothing, we're signin' this planet's death warrant. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Elias oversees the handling of a Red Dust shipment]'' :'''Elias Taylor''': Yo, yo, go easy on the dust, dudes. Gonna do you no good to snort it here. ''[man laughs]'' :'''Caleb Taylor''': ''[approaches Elias]'' Elias - :'''Elias''': Look, Pop, will you give me a break, please, huh? I was just jokin' with the guys, I didn't mean nothin' by it -! :'''Caleb''': Right away you assume I'm gonna come down on you. :'''Elias''': Ain't that the way it's always been, huh?! :'''Caleb''': Perhaps so... I disagreed with what you said at the meeting - :'''Elias''': So what's new? :'''Caleb''': - but you said it ''well.'' I was damn proud of you, son. :'''Elias''': Really? :'''Caleb''': Yes. ''[they hug, reconciled at last]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pamela''': How did you find out about those raids? That's classified information. :'''Diana''': I'm entitled to know about the raids. The intelligence comes from a source ''I'' created. :'''Pamela''': You're entitled to information that pertains to the scientific aspects of our mission - nothing more. :'''Diana''': Then you're not taking the boy's report seriously? :'''Pamela''': ''[disdainful]'' It's not standard practice to base troop movements on the tattlings of a ten-year-old Earthling. :'''Diana''': I converted him myself. The information is reliable. :'''Pamela''' Well, I have serious doubts about your conversion process. However, I'll have someone look into it. :'''Diana:''' When? The raids are scheduled for tomorrow. :'''Pamela''': You scientific types are so easily ruffled. :'''Diana''': And you military types are so predictable. ''[Takes out her gun and shoots Pamela and her guard.]'' You rely on cunning, intrigue...I prefer the direct approach. Don't worry, dear Pamela, I'll do my scientific best to command your fleet. And tomorrow, ''I'll'' destroy the rebels! Consider this...an early retirement. ''[shoots Pamela in the stomach]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Before pouring a bag full of Red Dust on Stephen]'' :'''Ham Tyler''': Say goodnight, hotshot. == About ''{{PAGENAME}}'' == *Warners was anxious to move on and do a television series, because that’s where you really make your bucks as a studio. Although they can be prestigious, mini-series are often pricey and don’t make a lot of money for the studio. They were eager to do the sequel as quickly and cheaply…and dirt [laughs] as it possibly could be done and get it out of the way. :I had real concerns about the erosion of quality and ultimately decided that I couldn’t do it in the kind of manner that they were talking about; the classic illustration of ‘creative differences’. It was a bit like having a baby and giving it over to foster-parents that you didn’t trust to raise. And I was right, unfortunately [laughs]. It was too bad what they did with it. *All of my friends who worked on it told me ‘Don’t ever watch it. Kenny – it is not the script that you guys wrote’…I had three very talented writers working on it with me. But once I left, they brought in a new producing team and a new writer and a new director, who proceeded to rather disembowel it. :I’ve only ever seen about thirty seconds by accident as I was channel-surfing one day, and recognised the scene. And after thirty seconds, I turned it off, because I watched them, in thirty seconds, make every mistake they could possibly make in thirty seconds. And I realised that I could never possibly watch the whole thing.

We can win this. :'''Georgie''': And if John May gets into this? :'''Ryan''': He'll bring an army. <hr width='50%'> :'''Tyler''': You got your Visa today, huh? :'''Lisa''': Yeah. :'''Tyler''': So, what do you think about New York? :'''Lisa''': Still getting the hang of this whole Earth thing, you know? :'''Tyler''': Yeah, me too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Jack''': I wanna be useful. I wanna be able to look people in the eye and say, "God loves you and everything's gonna be fine." How do I tell them that? I don't even know what to tell myself anymore. :'''Erica''': I know how you feel. :'''Jack''': Why are the V's doing it like this? Why the infiltration? Why the sleeper cells? Why don't they just annihilate us and get it over with? :'''Erica''': Because they're smart and patient and whatever their plan is, they need us for something. And until we figure out what that is we have to fight them the same way they're fighting us: one step at a time. === ''It's Only the Beginning'' [1.04] === (Anna shows Tyler the engine room) :'''Anna''': This is the propulsion system we use on each of our twenty-nine ships. This... is the engine room. :'''Tyler'''': (enraptured) You gotta be kidding me. :'''Anna''': No human has ever seen this before. You are the first, Tyler. (smiles) I thought you'd like it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ryan''': Everything that I've told you is true. :'''Erica''': Except that you're a Visitor. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': (talking about how to react against the Vs) The more predictable we are, the more vulnerable we are. <hr width='50%'> :'''Georgie''': (To Father Jack) Pretty soon you need to decide what you are. A priest or soldier. === ''Welcome to the War'' [1.05] === :'''Father Jack''': I feel like something's changed inside me. :'''Erica''': We're all changing. I just made a deal with the Devil. I broke every oath that I have sworn to protect. I don't know what I'm thinking. :'''Father Jack''': You're thinking about protecting your son, the ones you love. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': Welcome to the war. <hr width='50%'> :'''Anna''': Deliver the villain and a hero emerges. === ''Pound of Flesh'' [1.06] === :'''Georgie''': Long live the Fifth Column! ===''John May'' [1.07]=== :'''Anna''': Let them have this one victory because I'm about to deliver them a thousand defeats. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ryan''': Ten years ago, when I came to your house for dinner, that was the day that I killed John May. <hr width='50%'> :'''Anna''': If we've learned anything it's that emotion is weakness. Love is the greatest flaw of humans and our best tool to break them. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kyle''': Your girl with the Freddy Krueger claws, did she give you something, like a promise ring, anything? <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': Sometimes you have to lie to people to protect them. :'''Father Jack''': Am I talking to the FBI Agent or the mother? ===''We Can't Win'' [1.08]=== :'''Anna''': (to Lisa) Joshua said you passed the empathy test - I never doubted you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Secretary General''': Anna came here under the guise of diplomacy, but played politics with tragedy. She used the people of Timbal to gain public and political clout. The question is, if they're just visitors, why does she need that clout? <hr width='50%'> :'''Chad''': They think you are a God. :'''Anna''': Who does that make you? :'''Chad''': A believer. Can I tell you what I believe? You are not just visitors, you are here to stay. But, are you here for our benefit or for yours? <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': Why did you do it? Tell me why. :'''Sniper''': Because we can't win. ===''Heretic's Fork'' [1.09]=== :'''Ryan''': I need you to get into the car - okay? The visitors know about us now and will be looking for us. :'''Valerie''': Why? :'''Ryan''': They want our baby. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ryan''': We have to go. :'''Valerie''': Where are we going to go? :'''Ryan''': Somewhere where the V's won't find us. <hr width='50%'> :'''Valerie''': I don't want to see you again because I don't forgive you. :'''Ryan''': It was always for you... everything I ever did was for you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': I'm sorry. I'm... I'm hearing this for the first time and it's from my son's girlfriend, and I'm... I feel like he's slipping away from me and he doesn't know it, and... I want him to be happy. :'''Lisa''': I'm sorry, Mrs. Evans. :'''Erica''': It's not your fault. :''Lisa''': It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Father Jack''': Until we know for a fact he's not who he says he is, we treat him with decency. :'''Kyle''': Human decency's a privilege, father. He's lost his. And, when we prove to you that he's lying, you're gonna lose yours, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Anna''': A human female is carrying a visitor baby. The existence of this baby puts our entire species at risk. A hybrid can be born with human emotions, love. The Fifth Column could breed an entire generation of hybrids to fight against us. It is a mongrel, a threat to our survival. ===''Hearts and Minds'' [1.10]=== :'''Anna''': (to wounded Lisa about Tyler) There is no greater incentive for a human male than a damsel in distress. <hr width='50%'> :'''Father Jack''': If we wage war against the V's, if we strike preemptively, there is zero margin of error for us. Zero! Either we value life or we are the V's. <hr width='50%'> :'''Father Jack''': I won't ever forget what one life is worth. If we're gonna win this war, we can't go off the rails. We can't lose sight of who we are. :'''Erica''': Jack is right. We can never be like them. ===''Fruition'' [1.12]=== :'''Ryan''': Anna's lying. They're never leaving. :'''Jack''': Then why make the announcement? :'''Hobbes''': Oh, it's theater. The boo-hoo, the attack on the princess. She's putting on a show. :'''Ryan''': Hobbes is right. Anna could've healed Lisa's wounds, but instead she left them for the world to see. :'''Erica''': Question is, why? What is her interest in you and Parker? :'''Hobbes''': I don't know. :'''Erica''': Well, we need to find out. Joshua said that Anna is the one who beat Lisa. Slashed her face. She broke her legs. :'''Jack''': Wait, Anna did that? :'''Erica''': Yes. :'''Jack''': How could she do that to her own daughter? :'''Ryan''': Because she's not human. She's a Visitor. There's nothing that she won't do to get what she wants. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': My son is in love with her daughter. Is he in danger? :'''Joshua''': At first, Tyler was just an assignment. But now I believe that her feelings for him are real. I don't think that she'd hurt him. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': I want you to know that I'm going to make stopping the Fifth Column my top priority. :'''Anna''': Then I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon. :'''Erica''': I'm not going anywhere, Anna. :'''Anna''': As of this evening, neither am I. <hr width='50%'> :''''Ryan''': Val has changed me. She allowed me to see the beauty in humanity. It was her love that enabled me to fight off Anna's bliss. But without her, I just don't think I can do it anymore. :'''Father Jack''': None of us knows if we can. But with faith we can and, with faith, we do. That's all you can do, Ryan. That's all any of us can do. ===''Red Sky'' [1.13]=== :'''Erica''': Here's to your children's future, Anna. [Tosses the grenade into the egg pool, turns, dashes for the door, and dives out the door, propelled by the explosion] <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': This is terrible, to be sure, but... [Anna calls up a tactical display at her holographic desk] :'''Marcus''': ... we must not act rashly. Anna''': They must pay. [Starts making holographic keystrokes until Marcus grabs her arm] :'''Marcus''': This is too soon! If we initiate the sequence now... [Anna, with an angry grunt, jerks her arm away and makes one last keystroke, causing the display to light up with thousands of bright red ship icons over a display of earth] :'''Marcus''': Do you know what you've done? :'''Anna''': Vengeance. <hr width='50%'> :'''Anna''': [Lets out a primal scream, then barely gets under control] What's happening to me? :'''Marcus''': I believe you are experiencing your first human emotion. [Anna screams again, louder. Behind them both, Lisa looks on - and smirks] == Season 2 == === ''Red Rain'' [2.01] === :'''Marcus''': They'll live... but they will be flawed. :'''Anna''': These soldiers, my children, caused my prior outburst of emotion... Never again. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': Red sky is not Anna's latest gift. It is her latest weapon. And we do need you. We need your help to figure out the truth. :'''Sidney''': Look, I'm not a soldier. :'''Erica''': I know. :'''Hobbes''': We don't need your fists. We need your brain. And if you say no, we'll kill you. (smirks) Ah, relax. I'm kidding. Maybe. :'''Ryan''': Like it or not, you're one of us now. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ryan''': You've done nothing but run tests on me. Who knows what you're doing to her? :'''Anna''': I'm just trying to discover how your daughter... a miracle, the first hybrid baby between human and V... was born. :'''Ryan''': She was born out of something you will never understand... love. ===''Serpent's Tooth'' [2.02]=== :'''Jack''': Look, Ryan, I know that...Val's funeral was this morning, and I get that anger is easier than grief. So you can get all pissed off at what we're dealing with and go after them. We can do that, and we will. But you can't carry all this into that fight. :'''Ryan''': Yeah? How come I can't? :'''Jack''': Because if you shut it out, you'll lose sight of what you're really fighting for. <hr width='50%'> :'''Agent Malik''': They think Red Sky was the first volley in a battle against humanity, and they're willing to do anything to throw a wrench in the Visitors' plans. :'''Erica''': What plans? :'''Kendrick''': Eat our brains, kidnap our young. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': I am very glad that you're on board. You are an excellent resource. :'''Sidney''': (whining) Soldiers are studly, scientists are resources. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': Hey, nice look, Ty. :'''Tyler''': Yeah, I cut myself shaving. :'''Erica''': Well, you gotta stop using that bowie knife. ===''Laid Bare'' [2.03]=== :'''Erica''': Feels good, doesn't it? :'''Ryan''': We only saved one. :'''Erica''': To that mother, one is everything. This is what we're fighting for, to keep our children safe. We have to savor these wins. :'''Ryan''': I wish I could. :'''Erica''': Ryan... We're gonna get your daughter back. :'''Ryan''': I know. :'''Erica''': Good, 'cause if we lose hope, we lose this fight. ===''Unholy Alliance'' [2.04]=== :'''Anna''': This image... is quite disturbing. What does it represent? :'''Father Piers Moreau''': The Underworld. Hell, where the unrepentant are sent beyond their death. Satan, a fallen angel, is surrounded by the souls of the damned. :'''Anna''': I find it curious that you believe the soul can survive the death of the body. :'''Father Piers Moreau''': That is the cornerstone of our fate - that the soul is immortal, meant for everlasting life. The human soul... interests you? :'''Anna''': Yes. Indeed. Very much. For example, do you believe the body exists can exist without the soul? :'''Father Piers Moreau''': It is the soul that makes us human. Without it, well, we would be nothing more than animals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Anna''': You've been infected by human emotion. Is that why you didn't identify yourself to me at the Vatican? :'''Father Piers Moreau''': I was given explicit orders to report only to *my* queen. :'''Anna''': I *am* your queen. All this time you've been studying human emotions and the soul. I demand that you tell me everything you've discovered. :'''Father Piers Moreau''': I would only tell Diana what I've learned. :'''Anna''': You wanna see your queen? She's in hell... like other souls of the damned. ===''Concordia'' [2.05]=== :'''Eli''': Who the hell tipped Anna off? :'''Kyle''': There were only two people who had the information and the means to alert Anna. Oh, correction. One person, and one reptile. And I damn well know it wasn't Erica. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': As much as I would love to take Anna out, I can't agree to this. :'''Kyle''': Erica, we can end this war in one swift blow. This is our shot. :'''Father Jack Landry''': Yeah, and how many innocents go with her? :'''Erica''': Don't do this, Ryan. Don't put me in a position tonight where I have to make a choice. Because if I have to... I will take you down <hr width='50%'> :'''Chris''': Hey, uh, isn't that your ex? :'''Erica''': Yeah. A problem with Tyler. I had to bring in the heavy artillery. ===''Siege'' [2.06]=== ===''Birth Pangs'' [2.07]=== (Kyle enters the basement and sees the crucifix placed on the table) :'''Kyle''': I thought you were done with the priest routine. :'''Jack''': Well, it doesn't work like that. Wherever I walk, He walks. :'''Kyle''': Try to keep Him contained to your corner, all right? :'''Jack''': Why, you afraid of what He's gonna find in yours? <hr width='50%'> :'''Hobbes''': I'm surprised you didn't bring a hatbox. :'''Jack''': Don't worry I won't crowd your closet space. I'll leave plenty of room for all your cool black T-shirts. <hr width='50%'> :'''Lisa''': Tyler! You can't keep running away from me. :'''Tyler''': What are you talking about? :'''Lisa''': I know you're holding in your emotions. Your father just died. It's okay to be sad, to feel. :'''Tyler''': You don't get it, Lisa. I don't want to feel anything anymore. I just want to be a shuttle pilot and forget about my past <hr width='50%'> :'''Ryan''': I have to get my baby away from Anna. I need help. You know, of all the people, I thought you would be the one that understands. Everybody needs a second chance. :'''Jack''': I'm not a priest anymore, Ryan. It's not my job to absolve you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Erica''': If we are going to defeat the V's, we need to change tactics. Eli died at the hands of the Visitors because his plan didn't work. We are going to bring this war to Anna. I have contacts on her ship, access that you don't have that you will never have. ===''Uneasy Lies the Head'' [2.08]=== ===''Devil in a Blue Dress'' [2.09]=== :'''Lisa''': Why did you do that, Joshua? Why didn't you let him catch me? :'''Joshua''': Because I remembered. :'''Lisa''': Remember what? :'''Joshua''': Who I am. That I'm Fifth Column... like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Lisa''': I saw my mother bliss Tyler. :'''Diana''': If Anna can bliss humans, they stand no chance against her. Your human friends - you said that you can trust them. Are you sure? :'''Lisa''': Yes. :'''Diana''': Good. Because, we're going to need their help too. You must act now. :'''Lisa''': What are we going to do? :'''Diana''': We must end your mother's reign, once and for all. <hr width='50%'> :'''Lisa''': This is my grandmother Diana. :'''Diana''': I was queen before Anna overthrew me. :'''Erica''': Diana's gonna help make sure that history repeats itself. We're gonna overthrow Anna. ===''Mother's Day'' [2.10]=== :'''Hobbes''': What, another nightmare about the Visitors? :'''Erice''': Yeah. And what the future will look like when Anna is gone. :'''Hobbes''': Well, let's take the bitch down and find out. <hr width='50%'> :'''Diana''': Daughter... :'''Anna''': You taught me everything you know, and you never learned half of what *I* know. :'''Diana''': You've just... doomed us all. :'''Anna''': [to Lisa] Now *that's* how you kill your mother. <hr width='50%'> :'''Anna''': You've certainly looked better, dear. Welcome to your new home. Thankfully, your Grandmother won't be needing it any more. :'''Lisa''': Why don't you just kill me? :'''Anna''': I wasn't lying when I said all human emotion is bad. This one's called vengeance. I wanna see you suffer. Enjoy the show. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Attempting to bliss Humanity will surely kill you. :'''Anna''': Then I will die, but not before I fulfill my promise to my subjects and show them that Humanity cannot... nor *will* not... ever defeat us. == Cast == * [[w:Elizabeth Mitchell|Elizabeth Mitchell]] - Erica Evans * [[w:Morris Chestnut|Morris Chestnut]] - Ryan Nichols * [[w:Joel Gretsch|Joel Gretsch]] - Father Jack Landry * [[w:Logan Huffman|Logan Huffman]] - Tyler Evans * [[w:Laura Vandervoort|Laura Vandervoort]] - Lisa * [[w:Morena Baccarin|Morena Baccarin]] - Anna * [[w:Scott Wolf|Scott Wolf]] - Chad Decker * [[w:Christopher Shyer|Christopher Shyer]] - Marcus * [[w:Charles Mesure|Charles Mesure]] - Kyle Hobbes * [[w:Mark Hildreth|Mark Hildreth]] - Joshua * [[w:Roark Critchlow|Roark Critchlow]] - A.D.

You don't even appreciate it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Morgan''': ''[about the tower]'' Suits you up there. Where will you go? :'''Igraine''': You'll find I have plenty allies who will give me space. Was there anything else? Or did you just come to gloat? <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Merlin|Merlin]]''': The king is dead. Murdered. :'''Arthur''': So? :'''Merlin''': Uther died with no legitimate son. :'''Arthur''': So what's that gotta do with us? :'''Merlin''': Not them. You... are Uther's son. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arthur''': King's will... :'''Merlin''': Signed by his own hand. Bearing his seal, attesting to your birth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pellinor''': Your father was a great leader. Our loyalty passes to you. We stands to your bidding, ready to defend the Pendragon line. :'''Arthur''': I never knew Uther. But if he inspired such loyalty, I am humbled to stand before you. And I’ll do whatever I can to justify your allegiance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arthur''': What was he like? My father. :'''Merlin''': Unyielding. :'''Arthur''': That's it? The life of a man and you take ONE WORD? :'''Merlin''': That's all you need to know. :'''Arthur''': No, it's not! I want to know everything. What he ate, what he drank, how he stood, who he loved, what made him laugh or weep! And you give me ONE WORD! :'''Merlin''': Anyone else can tell you his character and contradictions. I gave you the word you most require. The aspect you must take from him. An unyielding strength. Because from now on, everyone will challenge you on everything. === ''The Sword And The Crown'' [1.02] === :'''Arthur''': "No one's ever done it before. What makes you think I can do it?" :'''Merlin''': "Because no one's ever needed to do it, as much as you do. This is your moment. Believe in yourself." <hr width='50%'> :'''Merlin''':"Stop pulling at me and start pushing yourself!" <hr width='50%'> :'''Merlin''':"In the beginning was the word. And the word spread. And the people came. Now we'll crown you, in front of them." <hr width='50%'> :'''Arthur''':"When I hear of kings, I think of warriors, coming to the throne through slaughter. I am not that person. But I have known loss at the hands of those men. I'm something new. Standing here before you, I realize that. I know I carry your hope in me. And I will establish, here at Camelot, a new way of ruling, for you, the people!" === ''Guinevere'' [1.03] === :'''Igraine''': "Do you love him?" :'''Guinevere''': "I'm not sure I even know what that word means." :'''Igraine''': "That's all right. I was the same. But, you know, with a little luck, in time, you might fall in love with him. And if you don't, before you know it,he'll give you children, and then you'll love them." <hr width='50%'> :'''Merlin''': "The wounded deer jumps highest, strives the hardest." <hr width='50%'> :'''Morgan''': "I'm not the one tied up here, am I?" :'''Merlin''': "You think I can't free myself?" :'''Morgan''': "Then do it." :'''Merlin''': "Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't perform tricks." :'''Morgan''': "Because you can't." :'''Merlin''': "Because I'm strong enough to choose not to." <hr width='50%'> :'''Gawain''': "You're very good. Who taught you?" :'''Kay''': "My father. What about you?" :'''Gawain''': "Teaching myself." :'''Kay''': "That's quite a task. So why bother?" :'''Gawain''': "To be better." === ''Lady of the Lake'' [1.04] === :'''Igraine''': "But now that you are married, of course, you'll be coveted more than ever." :'''Guinevere''': "What do you mean?" :'''Igraine''': "Well, the most enticing aspect for any man is the forbidden. But you'll just have to forego the looks from men other than your husband. For to pay them any heed is really... Well, it's the worst thing that any woman could do." <hr width='50%'> :'''Sybil''': Tell me honestly. Since you left us, have you performed the Summoning? Did you ask for anything? :'''Morgan''': Yes. :'''Sybil''': Oh, my child... How could you be so reckless? :'''Morgan''': What's happening to me? :'''Sybil''': I told you a long time ago. Your arrogance will be your downfall. I have one thing left to teach you. :'''Morgan''': I don't need you! I have nothing left to learn! :'''Sybil''': You do. You must learn to die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gawin''':"Some other rules of combat: remove your emotions; keep calm; attempt to draw your opponent into battle using their anger. That way they're easily frustrated." <hr width='50%'> :'''Arthur''': "I've read about many battles, about the great strategists. But what I don't understand is this: how do I know when it's time to give up? When do I acknowledge the better man's victory?" :'''Gawain''': "See, the warrior would never do that. He'd fight to the death for something he believed in. Of course, at the lowest moment, you have one opportunity." :'''Arthur''': "And what's that?" :'''Gawain''': "When you have nothing to lose,that's the time to risk everything." <hr width='50%'> :'''Merlin''':"I rode many miles until I came to a lake. And everywhere there was a mist. I had to stop. And when I did. out of the mist, a woman called to me, like a siren. From within the lake, she stretched out her arm, this sword, clutching it. I took the sword and thanked her. She smiled and slipped back into the water. And as she did she said, "This is the sword of King Arthur. This is Excalibur." === ''Justice'' [1.05] === :'''Sybil''': Nobody knows you, Morgan. They all know of Arthur, but not you. :'''Morgan''': They know. I'm Uther's daughter. :'''Sybil''': Uther's daughter, Arthur's sister. You can't be defined by others. People need to know you for yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sybil''': I traveled here across the sea. I listened to the talk. Nobody talks of you. Some talk of Arthur, but most talk about their fear. They don’t recognize their country anymore, and it frightens them. There is nothing more powerful than fear. You remember what it’s like to be frightened. When someone comes, takes that fear away, how you love them for it, how you worship them... So you will make new friends. And then all the talk would be of a Lady Morgan. How she understands the suffering of the people, how she is there friend, and how she have robbed of her legitimate claim of the crown. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Igraine''': Merlin, you're not making any sense. :'''Merlin''': Wizards don't need to. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Arthur''': It's not blood that ties you together, it's the memories you share. Everything you taught her, everything you gave up for her, that's your love, that's what flows through her. Tell her and you'll see how much she loves you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ewan''': I can go anywhere. I can start again. You can't stop me. :'''King Arthur''': Move, and we'll find you. Run, and we'll hunt you. Wherever you are, Camelot will be your shadow. === ''Three Journeys'' [1.06] === :'''Kay''': Can't you help him? :'''Merlin''': Can't you? :'''Kay''': You have powers, don't you? :'''Merlin''': What exactly do you think I'm capable of? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arthur''': How was your swim? Was the water cold? :'''Guinevere'''': Freezing. But I have to swim. :'''Arthur''': Why? :'''Guinevere''': To forget myself. To lose the world for a moment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Merlin''': The cost would kill me. :'''Kay''': What sort of cost? :'''Merlin''': On the body. The soul. And those around me. It's an addiction. One which I deny myself every waking hour. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arthur''': We all have our own ideas of what death might be. For all we know, death could be the greatest good that could happen to us. [[Cicero]] said, "The life of the dead is placed in the memories of the living". The love we feel in life keeps people alive beyond their time. There isn't a day my parents aren't with me. In my memories, and in who I am. Anyone who has given love will always live on in another's heart. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Merlin''': Did I hear of plans to rebuild the roof? :'''Arthur''': No, I've changed my mind. That roof must never be sealed. Never built over. If we look up and see the sky, we'll never forget who we're serving. Never be disconnected from the world outside. === ''The Long Night'' [1.07] === :'''Igraine''': Right now, they are full of planning and action. But soon, they will stop and think. And that's when they will come to us. To remind themselves of why they will fight. And if we doubt them, then they will doubt themselves, and the battle will be lost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Guinevere''': So it's just you here, alone in this castle. :'''Morgan''': I don't feel alone. :'''Guinevere''': Do you not think about taking a husband? :'''Morgan''': I've thought about it. What would I gain from it? :'''Guinevere''': Love. Isn't that what everyone wants? :'''Morgan''': Isn't it a burden to hold another's heart in your hands? :'''Guinevere''': It's a privilege. :'''Morgan''': What if you damage it? :'''Guinevere''': Well, you mustn't. That's the trust. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sybil''': Your faith comforts you? :'''Leontes''': It does. :'''Sybil''': A good thing on a night like this, when doubts assail us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Merlin''': You wanna get inside my head?

One who moves along the line of least reluctance to a desired death. ** [[Ambrose Bierce]], ''The Devil's Dictionary'' (1911). * "There is often greater martyrdom to live for the love of, whether man or an ideal, than to die" is a motto of the [[w:Mahātmā|Mahatmas]]. **Helena Blavatsky, [http://www.katinkahesselink.net/blavatsky/articles/v4/y1883_092.htm ''Collected Writings,'' vol. IV, p. 603 (October 1889)] * Nothing, indeed, can be more deserving of our admiration than the conduct of the Christian martyrs, who cheerfully submitted to an ignominious death, inflicted by the most atrocious torments, rather than deny their faith even by the mere performance of an apparently insignificant rite of Paganism. ** [[John Calvin]], ''[[w:Institutes of the Christian Religion|Institutes of the Christian Religion]]'' * “The total disregard of truth and probability in the representation of the primitive martyrdoms was occasioned by a very natural mistake. The ecclesiastical writers of the fourth and fifth centuries ascribe to the magistrates of Rome the same degree of implacable and unrelenting zeal which filled their own breasts against the heretics and idolaters of their own times.... The learned Origen, who, from his experience as well as readings, was intimately acquainted with the history of the Christians, declares, in the most express terms, that the number of martyrs was very inconsiderable. His authority would alone be sufficient to annihilate that formidable army of martyrs, whose relics, drawn for the most part from the catacombs of Rome, have replenished so many churches, and whose achievements have been the subject of so many volumes of holy romances....” **Edward Gibbon, in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire *Martyrs have been the stock-in-trade of prophetic creeds down the ages. Long before the prophet of Islam was born, the annalists of Judaism and Christianity had perfected the art of making the agressor look like the victim of aggression, and vice versa. The Bible was the master-piece produced by this art. The biographers of the Prophet had only to borrow the art and practise it in the new context. **Goel, S. R. (1993). Hindu temples: What happened to them. Vol. II * The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. ** [[Aldous Huxley]], ''The Doors of Perception'' (1954). p. 12. * The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule begins. **[[Søren Kierkegaard]], ''Journals'', 1848. *The most zealous among them saw it as their solemn duty to make a public display of their faith even if it meant arrest, torture and death … A few of the Soldiers of Christ actively sought martyrdom by charging into the shrines and temples of the pagans, smashing the statuary, and overturning the altars, as they were instructed to do by their own scriptures: 'You shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, for the Lord is a jealous God.' .... Indeed, the spectacle of men and women who went willingly and even ardently to their deaths – and, long afterward, the memory of these martyrdoms and the relics of the martyrs themselves – only stirred the fires of true belief and inspired ever greater acts of zealotry. Sometimes the pagan magistrates literally begged the Christians to make some gesture of compromise in order to save their own lives. **Kirsch, Jonathan. God Against the Gods. New York: Viking Compass, 2004. quoted in Malhotra, R., & Infinity Foundation (Princeton, N.J.). (2018). Being different: An Indian challenge to western universalism. * Either one defines “personality” and “individuality” in terms of their possibilities within the established form of civilization, in which case their realization is for the vast majority tantamount to successful [[Adjustment (psychology)|adjustment]]. Or one defines them in terms of their transcending content, including their socially denied potentialities beyond (and beneath) their actual existence; in this case, their realization would imply transgression, beyond the established form of civilization, to radically new modes of “personality” and “individuality” incompatible with the prevailing ones. Today, this would mean “curing” the patient to become a rebel or (which is saying the same thing) a martyr. ** [[Herbert Marcuse]], “Critique of Neo-Freudian Revisionism,” ''Eros and Civilization'' (1955) * Ideas grow quickly when watered with the blood of martyrs. ** [[Giuseppe Mazzini]], as attributed in ''The Cambridge Modern History'' (1907), ed. Adolphus William Ward ''et al.'', Vol. 10, p. 122. * I do not think life will change for the better without an assault on the establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of changing intolerable conditions. ** [[Huey P. Newton]], ''[[w:Revolutionary Suicide|Revolutionary Suicide]]'' (1973), p. 3 * When a heretic wishes to avoid martyrdom he speaks of “Orthodoxy, True and False” and demonstrates that the True is his heresy. ** [[George Bernard Shaw]], ''Maxims for Revolutionists'', #172. * The Sheikh has departed, may God have mercy on him, to his God as a martyr and we must continue on his path of jihad to expell the invaders from the land of Muslims and to purify it from injustice. Today, and thanks to God, America is not facing an individual or a group, but a rebelling nation, which has awoken from its sleep in a jihadist renaissance. ** Al-Zawahiri {{cite web|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13696051|title= Al-Qaeda posts fresh warning from al-Zawahiri to US|accessdate= June 20, 2011|date= June 8, 2011|publisher= BBC News}} ===''Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations''=== :<small>Quotes reported in ''[[Wikisource:Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)|Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations]]'' (1922), p. 495.</small> * For a tear is an intellectual thing;<br>And a sigh is the sword of an angel-king;<br>And the bitter groan of a martyr's woe<br>Is an arrow from the Almighty's bow. ** [[William Blake]], ''The Grey Monk''. * The noble army of martyrs. ** ''Book of Common Prayer'', ''Te Deum Laudamus''. * ''Strangulatus pro republica.'' ** Tortured for the Republic. ** [[James A.

See Richmond's ''Selection from the Writings of the Reformers and Early Protestant Divines of the Church of England''. * Like a pale martyr in his shirt of fire. ** [[Alexander Smith]], ''A Life Drama'', scene 2, line 225. ==See also== * [[Martyrdom in Islam]] * [[Sacrifice]] ==External links== * [https://www.bartleby.com/210/ The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints Compiled from Original Monuments and Authentic Records In Twelve Volumes], Rev.

So I ain't here to talk to ''you.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Carl:''' ''[drunk and collapsed on the parking lot]'' Blow into the tube and start the car! :'''Meatwad:''' I ain't driving no car. :'''Carl:''' You ain't gotta drive it-I'm-I'll-I'm driving, I'm the driver. I just gotta- You just gotta start it. And then you gotta pull me up-pull me in. Then we're good-I'm driving. ''{meatwad blows into the tube]'' Hurry. I'm urinating on myself. :'''Meatwad:''' ''[car fails to start]'' It ain't starting. :'''Carl:''' Why ain't it starting? :'''Meatwad:''' Probably 'cause, I had five gin and tonics, and a cubra libre! :'''Carl:''' I told you not to drink! I should not have bought you them drinks... <hr width=50%/> :'''Shake:''' Carl, we love you. And I for one, do not like to see you destroying yourself like this. This long slow slide, is frankly, extremely boring to watch! Why don't you go out in like a blaze of glory! :'''Frylock:''' Shake... :'''Shake:''' Light yourself on fire, rob a bank! :'''Frylock:''' Shake! :'''Shake:''' Do something at least I can tweet about! And like make me popular! :'''Frylock:''' Come on... :'''Shake:''' But you never think about me, do you? <hr width=50%/> :'''Frylock:''' Let me ask you something, Carl. Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? :'''Shake:''' Oh not with this! Can't we just talk about him during Christmas? :'''Meatwad:''' Is he be the one what bring all the toys in the magic sleigh? :'''Shake:''' For the last time...yes! <hr width=50%/> :'''Carl:''' ''[Frylock is showing him personal items that at one point belonged to Jesus]'' Is this his hair? Wow! He had Rock hair. Just like [[w:James Hetfield|Hetfield]], back when he was [[w:Ride the Lightning|riding the lightning]]! <hr width=50%/> :'''Frylock:''' ''[Frylock to Rupert]'' Wait a minute! Jesus had a hairdresser? ===Freedom Cobra=== :'''Master Shake:''' Oh hey babe. ''[woman passes by with no notice]'' Lesbian! <hr width=50%/> :''[after Shake's dog attacks him]'' :'''Frylock:''' You ain't gonna get laid just because you have a dog! :'''Shake:''' I know, that's why I brought this Frisbee. To make us look fun! ''[kicks the dog]'' :'''Frylock:''' Whoa whoa whoa, you definitely ain't gonna get laid kicking a dog in public! :'''Shake:''' Women respond to control! And that is what I am exhibiting, to this dog! Go on, let go of him, Meatwad. :'''Meatwad:''' ''[holding back the dog]'' All right. :'''Shake:''' ''[poorly throws the Frisbee]'' Go get it, you dumbass! ''[[the dog attacks him again]'' Oh no no let go! Get it off! Get it off! ''[Meatwad holds back the dog]'' Why would you let go of a dog like that?! <hr width=50%/> :'''Tattooed Man:''' Yo, bro. ''[hands Shake his Frisbee]'' Your disk. :'''Shake:''' Well aware of what I own, okay? Cool guy? :'''Nude Woman:''' Wow, I got nude when I saw your tattoos! :'''Tattooed Man:''' Right on! Right on! :'''Nude Woman:''' I'm on the pill! :'''Tattooed Man:''' What pill? :''[they engage in intercourse]'' :'''Shake:''' Well you're a lesbian! :'''Meatwad:''' Well if she's a lesbian, then, what's she doing with that cool tattoo guy? :'''Shake:''' Because he's obviously a woman, trapped inside a man's impeccably chiseled body. :'''Meatwad:''' Well now it looks like he's trapped inside that girls body. Oh, now he's out. Wait! Now he's back in again. Wait, now he's back out! Now he's back in! <hr width=50%/> :'''Doctor:''' ''[after Shake's Tattoo Removal]'' It went well...unfortunately, our lasers were no match for Freedom Cobra. ===The Creditor=== :'''Shake:''' He had a look about him. You know? Sometimes I think I see him. ''[Creditor in the distance cloaks]'' :'''Therapist:''' Well everyone knows the Creditor has a cloaking device. :'''Shake:''' I know, I know. It's probably nothing. :'''Therapist:''' Well are you behind in your payments? :'''Shake:''' I haven't made any payments. I haven't felt like it. :'''Therapist:''' Sometimes we have to do things that we don't like. :'''Shake:''' Not you. You talk to me all the time because you love it! Everyone just wants a free ride on my lid man. <hr width=50%/> :'''Shake's Narration:''' I remember. ''[flashback starts; at a club]'' He was new in town. I could tell he needed a friend, but then an asylum. :'''Shake:''' Yeah! I would love to tap that! ''[to the Creditor]'' Hey! Go buy us some shooters! :'''Shake's Narration:''' We were ruling it! And the Creditor, he just never knew when to stop! :''"Creditor:''' ''[surrounded by prostitutes]'' I have the power of a thousand suns! :'''Shake's Narration:''' Then he disappeared in the back room with three of them, and when he came back out, he was real sweaty and nervous. :'''Creditor:''' Let's get out, we're leaving. :'''Shake's Narration:''' He was holding her severed heads, and spines. :'''Shake:''' Oh come on, man! I'm going first, next time! <hr width=50%/> :'''Shake's Narration:''' That night, we celebrated our success at hiding the bodies...by going to another club. <hr width=50%/> :'''Meatwad:''' ''[watching his TV shows]'' Please......Thank you.....''[Creditor Materializes, andreaches into meatwad]s head, and pulls up nothing]'' You looking for bones? ''[Creditor digs in again]'' 'Cause I got no bones in here. ''[Creditor comes up empty and digs in again, he continuously digs in and comes up empty]'' Why don't you do it again? ''[Creditor comes up empty]'' What you get? Nothing. ''[Creditor digs in again]'' Oops. ''[Creditor comes up empty and roars in a fury]'' Do it to me again! It's starting to turn me on sexually. <hr width=50%/> :'''Creditor:''' ''[after ripping Shake's skull out]'' I am the best hunter in the world, and in all the galaxy! :'''Therapist:''' Ah yes, but you've mentioned that in the past, and yet your father, hated hunting. ''[Creditor prepares to rip out Therapists skull]'' Don't do this, I thought we were past this. ''[gets skull ripped out]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Creditor Father:''' ''[reading a book]'' ...and he bleached the skulls and spines in an acid bath, and he used the teeth for a meat scraping tool. Happy Halloween everybody! Then he collapsed. The amount of blood and bile was overwhelming. The end. :'''Creditor Kids:''' Read it again daddy, read it again! :'''Creditor Father:''' Now now now, go to sleep, that's all. ''[one Creditor kid holds up a severed foot]'' Put your feet under the pillow! For the foot fairy....comes tonight! ===Vampirus=== :'''Master Shake''': This. Is. The life. Rays. Cool Water. No vampires. :'''Carl''': Yeah, that vampire thing's so friggin' overhyped :'''Master Shake''': I know :'''Carl''': Y'know the media sees one horde of crazy vampires devouring the president and we're supposed to think they're everywhere :'''Master Shake''': I know. Completely living in fear <hr width=50%> :'''Frylock''': And that's when I realized that it wasn't his blood at all, but the deodorant that was driving the vampires away. Of course, we've since expanded into garlic toothpaste, mouthwash, cologne, shampoo. All our garlic grooming products have completely eradicated all signs of vampire zombies :'''Television Host''': Some would argue that you just made the Earth a little easier for a new breed of steak sauce-craving bears to take over :'''Frylock''': I'm not here to talk about any bears, okay? That's the government's problem. My point is this: I'M RICH AS HELL! :'''Master Shake''': And you're also a STUCK. UP. ASS. HOLE!!! <hr width=50%> :'''Master Shake''': Guess what! I developed a vaccine too! :'''Meatwad''': This here's just steak sauce :'''Master Shake''': I get bored doing science stuff! :''[Shake and Meatwad go outside]'' :'''Master Shake''': Bring on the creatures of the night... :'''Meatwad''': The vampires are all dead, man :'''Master Shake''': ...for I am immune! :''[Shake pours steak sauce on himself. He looks around and throws the bottle to the ground]'' :'''Master Shake''': It's driving the vampires away! :'''Meatwad''': I know. 'Cause the vampires are dead :'''Master Shake''': Right. And I did that just now :'''Meatwad''': But look over there. A bunch of giant bears :'''Master Shake''': Yeah, well they're like Mormons. You treat 'em with respect ''[Meatwad retreats inside the house]'' and they'll be your friend for life. :''[The bears approach Shake]'' :'''Master Shake''': What's up my bear bitches! :''[The bears prepare to attack]'' :'''Master Shake''': This is the dumbest thing I've ever done! ===Last Dance for Napkin Lad=== :'''Meatwad:''' ''[pointing a gun at Frylock]'' I'll waste him right now, he probably set us up! :'''Frylock:''' Easy, now! Whoa, whoa, man, I don't know nothing about no skeletons! :''[dramatic music]'' :'''Master Shake:'''...skeletons? :'''Meatwad:''' Who said anything about skeletons? :'''Frylock:''' ''[nervously]'' Uhhhhhhh j-, no! I mean, ain't that what ya'll call them people who be after ya'll? :'''Master Shake:''' Not in any academy class ''I'' ever took. :'''Meatwad:''' Skeletons are what comes out your body after you rot in the ground for fifty years...with a slug of lead lodged in ya cranium. ''You think you understand me?'' <hr width:50%> :'''Carl:''' Well, he's about to take his last freakin' bath. Computer, enter dive mode. :'''Napkin Lad:''' You can't do that! It's just a prototype, it's never been tested for undersea battle. :'''Carl:''' Then I guess we're gonna test it then, aren't we, Napkin Lad? :'''Napkin Lad:''' You're a madman! :'''Carl:''' ''It's good to be something.'' :''[puts on Chickenfoot]'' ===Wi-tri=== :''[Carl is talking to his mom on the phone]'' :'''Carl''': Ma, you're 87 years old, you ain't in no condition to mow the lawn by yourself...Oh, you wanted me to do it? ...It's a living breathing thing.

Start with me, busting my balls like this! ...You still owe me 50 bucks...No, I know the check come in Tuesday, 'cause I called the Medicare office, alright? So I'll be down there in five minutes to pick it up. Don't be hiding it. <hr width=50%> :'''Master Shake''': You know, you're like the repository where my ideas go to die! ===Jumpy George=== :'''Meatwad''': You want me to do what, now? :'''Master Shake''': It's a paying gig! ''Now'' you're complaining?! Fine, I'll get somebody else! :'''Meatwad''': Fine. You do that. :'''Master Shake''': ...ok fine, you called my bluff. But that is the ''last time'' that will ''ever'' happen, or Santa Claus will burn all your toys. :'''Meatwad''': You're bluffin'. :''[Shake stares him down]'' :'''Meatwad''': You ain't bluffin'. Santa Claus will burn my toys! :'''Master Shake''': What can I do? Far away, in the North Pole, Santa is just ''clicking'' a lighter to his gas-soaked toys. :'''Meatwad''': C-call the elves! The elves know that- they know- I'VE BEEN GOOD DOWN HERE! :'''Master Shake''': Not good enough! Not until you make this right with both me and with Father Christmas. :'''Frylock''': Make what right, Shake? :'''Master Shake''': ''(pulls out joy buzzer)'' Oh, hey man! Gimme five, up top! :'''Frylock''': I can see the hand buzzer, man. :'''Master Shake''': ''(to Meatwad)'' ''You told him, you Judas!!'' :'''Meatwad''': Hey Frylock, I'm babysittin' tonight or Santa Claus gonna burn all my toys down. :'''Frylock''': Meatwad, Santa Claus would never burn all your toys. Because Santa Claus doesn't exist. :'''Meatwad''': He what? :'''Master Shake''': Then how do you explain all the cookies he eats, huh? :'''Meatwad''': Yeah, how do you explain that? :'''Frylock''': Well, I...I haven't figured out how the cookies disappear, okay! :'''Master Shake''': Then don't ''pop off'' about things you don't even know about! :'''Meatwad''': I thought I was gonna have to call 911. :'''Master Shake''': And we don't have a phone, do we? Do we, out-of-work scientist?! <hr width=50%> :'''Carl''': Look, I'm layin' all my cards on the table here. I want us to have an honest relationship right off the bat. I couldn't help but notice that you got kids. How tight are you? :'''Master Shake''': Carl, that is inappropriate. As is the diarrhea on the back of your shirt :'''Carl''': I-I must apologize. It was like I sat down on a flamethrower back there, you know? You can relate. ''[To the store clerk]'' And you need to stock your bathroom better! I had to run out here with my pants around my ankles and grab some napkins! <hr width=50%> :'''Err''': I'm handicapped, man! 'Cause I'm drunk! <hr width=50%> :'''Err''': Man, you told that pig off! And that bitch, and that judge, and that guy at the jail that raped you! :'''Ignignokt''': They all know where to go and how to eat it now. I have told them where their dinner is and what it is. <hr width=50%> ''[Carl and Shake's date is unconscious in 2 Wicked's trunk]'' :'''Master Shake''': Wow. This is embarrassing, but... can we borrow $15.92? :'''Carl''': Well, I got chips too, so w-we need money for those too. But, uh, I'll pay you back later... with my world-famous ''chest massage.

I love women. And that's why I pay them 40 dollars to have sex with me for money. And I would never dream of hitting a woman until the second she decides to chomp down on my tongue. Then I star whaling away!

But today is the day. :'''Master Shake''': Hey Carl, good afternoon. I just brought some lasagna for you. :'''Carl''': Yeah, I can see that. But you didn't deliver it, no. You put it in the middle of my yard. :'''Master Shake''': Ah, I just thought you'd maybe wanna take a little brisk walk! I mean, there are four kinds of cheese in there. :'''Carl''': No, no. I know your game, Shake. You left it right in the middle of the yard 'cause you know I'll go after it. :'''Master Shake''': Don't let it get cold- Uh-oh. Carl, look at this, ''[Shake reels it in]'' the ants are starting to run off with it! :'''Carl''': Yeah well, I guess they'll get it this time. :'''Master Shake''': Wow, I just-I intercepted it myself, ''[picks up the lasagna]'' ...you know, from the ants. :'''Carl''': I don't give a damn, cup. :'''Master Shake''': Oh...well that's too bad. I guess I'll just... ''[lifts manhole cover]'' ...toss this down the sewer in front of you.

The show focused on the lives of college cheerleaders, mainly focusing on Marti Perkins ([[w: Alyson Michalka|Alyson Michalka]]), a pre-law student who joins the cheerleading squad to receive an athletic scholarship. == Season 1 == === A World Full of Strangers [1.01]=== :'''Savannah''': (about cheerleaders) We are an internationally recognized competitive sport. We spend 20 hours a week practicing. We bench press twice our body weight and run a 7-minute mile. We compete with broken thumbs and twisted ankles, smiling through the pain. We are athletes. :'''Marti''': Back in Dollywood, maybe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''' [to Marti]: Hey, you are mighty. You are Bat Girl. :'''Marti''': You are blindly optimistic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': Oh hey, I'm one of the new girls, Marti. :'''Alice''': I know who you are. I voted against you. I was overruled. Democracy's a bitch. :'''Marti''': Apparently, so are you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': You know, I don't trust any culture that builds pyramids. Human or otherwise. You know, Egyptians enslaved the Jews. :'''Dan''': Aztecs, human sacrifices. :'''Marti''': Freemasons put pyramids on money giving us (pauses) Dan Brown. :'''Dan''': They've earned their spot in hell. :'''Marti''': Right next to the cheerleaders. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dan''': Plenty of time to ponder the imponderable. :'''Marti''': Today's topic? :'''Dan''': Okay, what makes a person decide to become a cheerleader? :'''Marti''': Science. You know, over time all that pep builds up pressure. :'''Dan''': So, they have to vent. :'''Marti''': Otherwise their heads explode. <hr width="50%"/> === I Say a Little Prayer [1.02]=== :'''Vanessa''': Gather up, Hellcats! Do you feel it? Do you feel the weight? Today, one squad will qualify for regionals. No one in their right mind thinks it's gonna be us. The university, they've given us an ultimatum: place at nationals, or they will gut our program. Are you feeling the weight? Well, I'm not. I'm light as a feather. Because you are champions of the spirit. You ignore the scoreboard! Long odds are irrelevant. In the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity, you do not waver. You roll, you tumble, you fly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': Who are those guys? :'''Vanessa''': Memphis Christian. The team to beat. :'''Marti''': Not much for showing the skin, are they? :'''Vanessa''': Well, Mem-Chris is a religious school. Jesus is the wind beneath their skirts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wanda''': (sees Marti at qualifiers) Well, Marti Beth Perkins, what a surprise to see you here. My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. :'''Marti''': Mom... :'''Wanda''': Did you really think I wouldn't find out? I am Facebook friends with half your squad! :'''Marti''': Oh my God! Who are you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wanda''' [to Marti]: I love you, and I am so proud of you, and Marti, Marti! I wouldn't miss one of your events for the whole wide world. (licks her finger and rubs Marti's face) Look at that eyeliner. You look like a truck stop tranny. <hr width="50%"/> === Beale St. After Dark [1.03]=== :'''Savannah''': (referring to her dress) I bought this for my date with Dan. What does this dress say? :'''Marti''': Back off, this is my street corner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Red''': (to Vanessa) You always did play hard to get. This feels like old times. What do they call it? Deja vu? I love the French. They have a name for everything! <hr width="50%"/> :(Marti arrives to class her class late) :'''Julian''': Ah, Ms. Perkins. In a court of law, what happens when one party is late? :'''Marti''': The, um, late party is held in contempt. :'''Julian''': That's correct. But that's not the real punishment. Does anyone know what the real punishment is? Mr. Pepper? :'''Morgan''': The judge and jury, those who dictate the outcome of your case, they won't take you seriously. :'''Julian''': Thank you, Mr. Pepper. :'''Morgan''': In the American justice system, perception is reality... :'''Julian''': Please stop speaking, Mr. Pepper. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''' [to Julian]: Thank you so much. I'm sorry to drag you down here like this. :'''Julian''': Well, I hope you at least learned something. :'''Marti''': I learned the cops around here have no problem lying. :'''Julian''': Everyone lies. That's my first rule for successful delegation. You work for the lie, you make it work for you. :'''Marti''': I won't ever forget it. :'''Julian''': Look, it's 6:00am. Stop kissing my ass, and start working on that assignment I gave you. <hr width="50%"/> === Nobody Loves Me But My Mother [1.04]=== <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': (to Dan about Savannah) Hey, why'd she call your relationship casual? That girl wouldn't know casual if it walked right up to her and said, "Hey, yeah, whatever." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wanda''': (about Lewis) Someone is checking us out, and by 'us', I mean you. :'''Marti''': Do not encourage him. :'''Wanda''': Why the hell not? :'''Marti''': He asked me out and I blew him off. :'''Wanda''': With that body? If you're not interested, I will take a swing at that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wanda''': (to Marti) You haven't dated since Aaron and that was 2 years ago, which makes you, and I say this with love, pathetic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wanda''': You might as well hang a sign around your neck that says, "I'm sexually frustrated." I mean, Marti, are you a lesbian? Come out to Momma. :'''Marti''': (about Lewis) Okay, fine, you know what? I'll go out with him. Just stop talking. Wow! Oh my gosh! <hr width="50%"/> === The Prisoner's Song [1.05]=== === Ragged Old Flag [1.06]=== :(When Marti arrives to the flag football game) :'''Savannah''': I'm impressed. You chose cheerleading over lawyering. :'''Marti''': No. You could've busted me in front of the others for faking but you didn't. I chose you over lawyering...you're a good friend. <hr width="50%"/> === The Match Game [1.07]=== === Back of a Car [1.08]=== :'''Marti''': I like that there's a sense of history in the bobble-head community. :'''Savannah''': Yeah, it's really hard to make that nickname sound complimentary. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Savannah''' [to Marti]: Sometimes it's hard to be mad at you. :'''Marti''': I'm sorry if my awesomeness confounds your narrow view of humanity. :'''Savannah''': And other times it's easy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Savannah''': So, was it romantic? :'''Dan''': (from the bathroom) Was what romantic? :'''Savannah''': Your first time. :'''Dan''': Oh. Not remotely. It was in the back of a Buick in the middle of nowhere out off of Route 51. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': My first time was totally unexpected, okay? It was in the back of a Buick off Route 51 with somebody I never thought it would happen with. :'''Savannah''': Were you in love with him? :'''Marti''': That's a complicated question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Savannah''': What was your first time like? :'''Dan''': You really wanna know? :'''Savannah''': Yeah. Yeah I do. :'''Dan''': It's not a very interesting story. :'''Savannah''': I don't care. :Dan: It was high school. :'''Savannah''': Did you love her? :'''Dan''': Yeah, I guess I did. What do I know, I was 16, you know? <hr width="50%"/> === Finish What We Started [1.09]=== === Pledging My Love [1.10]=== === Think Twice Before You Go [1.11]=== === Papa, Oh Papa [1.12]=== :'''Alice''': (to Lewis about her father) Suppose that I had told him how you stomped all over my heart. He'd probably come to hate you for being cruel and hurtful, and when you eventually realize what a horrible mistake you made and we got back together, he'd have a very tough time forgiving you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': I did something I regret with Dan. :'''Vanessa''': Savannah's Dan? :'''Marti''': He was my Dan first. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': No one will give me a chance to apologize, or explain, or anything. So...I just can't let myself care anymore. :'''Vanessa''': I think you do care. But the one thing I can't coach is desire, so if you wanna give up, so be it. :'''Marti''': I don't have a choice. :'''Vanessa''': You're as good as any of the girls in there. I can go in there and simply tell them you're flying, but I don't like to run my team that way. But if you decide that your spot on this team, in this family, is worth fighting for, I'm gonna support you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wanda''': My daughter is a very driven girl. :'''Travis''': I've noticed that. You know, she makes my life a lot better. :'''Wanda''': Yeah? :'''Travis''': Hopeful, you know, like I got a shot at getting out of this place while I'm still relatively young. :'''Wanda''': That is a wonderful thing for a mother to hear about her child. Thank you for that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': Savannah, you're my best girlfriend. I don't have one of those. I never did before, and I can't lose you. :'''Savannah''': Well, if it helps, I enjoyed hitting you with a pillow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marti''': This is your first time at sectionals as a Hellcat. You have to fly. :'''Savannah''': I can't let you. :'''Marti''': This is so small but...it's something I can do for you. Something I can, I can give up for you. So let me. Please. :'''Savannah''': How do you explain that my ankle miraculously healed? :'''Marti''': Acupuncture? :'''Savannah''': That's good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alice''': Lewis and I broke up months ago. :'''Michael''': What? :'''Alice''': I didn't tell you because I knew it would disappoint you.

For reference, if the Game of Thrones audience made up a country, it would be 62nd most populated in the world. As an extra to one’s cable package, HBO needs just one show to bring in high enough viewership numbers so that people keep paying for the network, and Benioff and Weiss’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s popular book series A Song of Ice and Fire more than delivered. For eight seasons, people tuned in to watch spectacular [[dragons]], incredible [[special effects]], [[political]] [[intrigue]], and lots of [[sex]] and [[violence]]. With copious [[nudity]], excessive violence, [[aggressive]] displays of [[masculinity]] to exert [[power]] over others, and a [[narrative]] built on devastating blows to beloved [[w:Character (arts)|characters]], [[rape]] seems inevitable on the world’s most epic television series. As Anne Gjelsvik notes: “sex and violence are integral to the contest for power which underpins the story” (57) of Game of Thrones, and are what many find so entertaining about the series. One need not wait long to see an assault on-screen: one of the show’s protagonists, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), is raped in the pilot episode when she is supposed to be only fourteen years old. The series’ creative team and its fans were able to explain that assault and the incestuous rape of Cersei Lannister (Lena Heady) in season three on the fact that both rapes occurred in Martin’s books and the show was just being loyal to its subject matter. Many fans, however, could not abide by the show depicting the rape of a major [[teenaged]] character that does not occur in the books—that of Sansa Stark on her wedding night in the fifth season of the series. Before this episode, Sansa is meek and constantly made to [[suffer]]. Afterwards, she stops passively existing within her narrative and letting other people make decisions for her and, motivated by her desire for revenge, works with her siblings to destroy her husband and all of her other enemies to become queen. Her character arc begs the questions: Why did the writers feel it was necessary that she be raped? Why is her rape the event that makes her “[[strong]]” enough to become an active heroine and achieve her goals? Men on Game of Thrones become [[powerful]] by doing [[harm]] to others, but Sansa becomes powerful by having harm done unto her. ** pp.29-30 * In order to fully understand this trope of rape making women stronger within Game of Thrones, one must examine the series’ ubiquitous, shocking, and often gratuitous use of sexual violence against women. Game of Thrones never explores the effects of rape on its survivors, and often only employs it to elicit shock value. ** p.38 * Figures such as US Senator [[w:Claire McCaskill|Claire McCaskill]] and the president and founder of the [[w:Rape Abuse & Incest National Network|Rape Abuse & Incest National Network]] (RAINN) felt compelled to respond to the episode.

The series was adapted for the American television channel [[w:FX (TV channel)|FX]] by ''[[Family Guy]]'' veteran [[w:David Zuckerman|David Zuckerman]]. == Season 1 == === ''Happiness'' [1.01] === :'''Opening quote''': "Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination." - [[Mark Twain]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': ''[smiling]'' Nailed it. ''[saves the third draft of his suicide letter]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': ''[appearing to Ryan as a man in a dog suit, rather than an actual dog]'' Very nice. Some sofas it is impossible to get comfortable on. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': ''[speaking to his sister about the job she has arranged for him]'' Do you really think working in contract administration will make me happy? :'''Kristen''': You think I love squeezing out babies twenty-four seven? Nobody’s happy. It's all about perception. :''[Ryan looks back at Wilfred]'' :'''Wilfred''': Don't worry, I ain't gonna bite you. I can smell your fear like I can smell the sour milk in your fridge. I'm seven years old, and too wise for lies. ''[smokes from a homemade water bong]'' You're not going to work today, Ryan. ''[passes a toke]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ryan wakes up to Wilfred digging a hole in his back yard]'' :'''Wilfred''': It's anxiety. Jenna's been away too long. She's a goner, I'm sure of it. She's probably choked on piece of lego or something <hr width="50%"/> :''[Wilfred and Ryan have just broken into their noisy neighbor Spencer's house, stolen his marijuana plants, and defecates in his boots]'' :'''Wilfred''': ''[to Ryan]'' When was the last time you ever felt this good? It's called living, mate. Trust your instincts. No more doubt. No fear. Welcome to your new life. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Trust'' [1.02] === :'''Opening quote''': "Trust thyself only, and another shall not betray thee." - [[Thomas Fuller]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': ''[to Ryan]'' Everything has to do with everything. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Fear'' [1.03] === :'''Opening quote''': "Fear has its uses but cowardice has none." - [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Mahatma Ghandi]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': ''[referring to an Indian neighbor]'' It's not like I was gonna bite her. Last time I had Indian, it gave me the shits for a week! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': ''[referring to Spencer, whose house Ryan and Wilfred had broken into and whose boots they had defecated in]'' That motorcycle dick is ruining the neighborhood. You need to put that asshole in his place. :'''Ryan''': What's the point of a confrontation? I'd just get my ass kicked. :'''Wilfred''': So what? That'd be less painful than walking around in constant fear. :'''Ryan''': What would you suggest I do? :'''Wilfred''': March over there, look him straight in the eyes, and say, "I'm the man who shat in your boot." And bend him over and root him right up the ass. :'''Ryan''': ''[perplexed]'' You want me to have sex with him? :'''Wilfred''': It's called domination. That's how dogs handle it and, believe me, it's very effective. :'''Ryan''': ''[shocked]'' And have you done this with another dog? :'''Wilfred''': Every goddamn day. :'''Ryan''': I can't imagine a scenario in which I would do something like that. :'''Wilfred''': ''[shrugging]'' Well, then you have no imagination. :'''Ryan''': ''[talking to a dog]'' If only that were true. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': ''[referring to Spencer]'' Why the ''hell'' would you leave my wallet outside his window? :'''Wilfred''': I don't know, Ryan. Why is the sky grey? Why is the grass grey? Why is a rainbow grey, grey, grey, grey, grey and infra-grey? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': A bone? That's like giving a basketball to a black guy. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Acceptance'' [1.04] === :'''Opening quote''': "Happiness can exist only in acceptance." - [[George Orwell]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': ''[after Ryan tells him he can't do a band practice meeting due to going to help his sister]'' You're breaking up the band. I can't believe it! :'''Ryan''': Calm down! :'''Wilfred''': Yeah, that's what [[John Lennon]] said before he ran off and got nude with [[Yoko Ono|that Asian bitch]]! :'''Ryan''': Don't be racist. :'''Wilfred''': How can I be racist? I'm incapable of seeing color. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Kristen's always busting balls. Why doesn't she try licking them? <hr width="50%"/> === ''Respect'' [1.05] === :'''Opening quote''': "Seek respect mainly from thyself, for it comes first from within." - Steven H. Coogler <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': Come on, mate. Give us a bit of that gouda I'm smelling. :'''Ryan''': Wilfred, no, you can't have cheese. :'''Wilfred''': Well what am I supposed to eat? The grass down here tastes like shit... and the shit tastes like grass! <hr width="50%" /> :''[Ryan has just been mistaken for a homeless person]'' :'''Ryan''': Do I look homeless? :'''Wilfred''': Well you ''are'' talking to a dog. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lisa''': ''[to Ryan]'' These people are ready to die. Hope is the last thing they need. :'''Wilfred''': A coffin is the last thing they need. Up top! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Admit it, Ryan. You're not gettin' any satisfaction out of this. You're only here so Jenna and everyone will think you're a do-gooder. :'''Ryan''': Yeah, okay. I want to be admired. I want people to think I'm a good person like that douchebag in the park. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Nurse''': That dog needs to go back where it came from. :'''Wilfred''': Why don't ''you'' go back where ''you'' came from?! Right over there, where you were standing, before you came over here. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Well, here we are. :'''Wilfred''': Woah! You said we were going for a walk. A walk, Ryan - which by definition means 'no destination'! Even a cat knows that. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Conscience'' [1.06] === :'''Opening quote''': "Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking." - Proverb <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': What is the one thing that Jenna hates most about Drew. :'''Wilfred''': The vaginal tearing from his huge cock. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': He's a sore loser. Look, all I have to do is beat him at something, and make sure Jenna's there to see him lose his shit. :'''Wilfred''': That's the stupidest, most ridiculous... Actually, that's pretty good. But there's one problem. Drew's a born winner, and you're... you. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Behold... The instrument of Drew's destruction. Bzzmm... My ping pong paddle from when I was all state table tennis champion. :'''Wilfred''': So, chemistry, baking and ping pong. I guess my only question is, why were you not blowjobbed to death by the entire cheerleading squad? <hr width="50%"/> === ''Pride'' [1.07] === :'''Opening quote''': "In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes." - Steven H. Coogler <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': Now that I've met Raffie, how can I go back to bear? I mean bear did put me through obedience school, but does that mean I have to be unhappy for the rest of my life? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': I don't know, Ryan. Sometimes I get the feeling that maybe Bear isn't the one. :'''Ryan''': Maybe you need to spice things up. Take Bear to a nice restaurant. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': May I speak with you? Privately. :'''Wilfred''': Anything you wanna say to me, you can say in front of Bear. :'''Ryan''': Okay. So, last night at Beth's... :'''Wilfred''': Woah! Let's take it upstairs. Not cool, dude! :'''Ryan''': You said I could say anything. I assumed it was an open relationship. :'''Wilfred''': It is! But Bear doesn't know that! <hr width="50%"/> === ''Anger'' [1.08] === :'''Opening quote''': "Anger as soon as fed is dead -- tis starving makes it fat." - [[Emily Dickinson]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': Sneakers is no one huh? Do you usually buy priceless jewelry for no one? Imitation, colored glass. Plastic painted to look like metal. This isn't some cheap made in China knock-off. This is made in Taiwan. You bastard! Keeping another dog on the side are ya? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Ryan, anger is like herpes. You're not meant to keep it to yourself. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Ryan, remember when I told you a few weeks ago that you are a total pussy? Well I just wanted to apologize for not emphasizing that enough. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Compassion'' [1.09] === :'''Opening quote''': "Make no judgements where you have no compassion." - Anne McCaffrey <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': I'm not crazy! :'''Wilfred''': Said the man to the dog. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': You son of a bitch! :'''Wilfred''': How is that an insult? I've never understood that. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Eat shit! Eat shit! :'''Wilfred''': Again, your tone says insult, but what I'm hearing is a tempting offer. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Do you know what this is? :'''Ryan''': Let me guess, the length of my dick? :'''Wilfred''': No, it's the amount of compassion you've shown towards your mum...and the length of your dick. They happened to be equal in this case. It doesn't happen often, but it's pretty cool when this shit lines up. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': For a guy who once tried to kill himself, you don't have a whole lot of compassion. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Isolation'' [1.10] === :'''Opening quote''': "Isolation is a self-defeating dream." - Carlos Salinas de Gortari <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': Turn your back on the pack, and the pack will turn on you. Any dog would tell you that. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': I would never.. :'''Wilfred''': Never what? Shit in your neighbor's boot? Have sex with a stuffed giraffe in front of a small child? You'd be surprised what we're capable of once we put our mind to it. :'''Ryan''': Our mind? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': [about Trashface] He got what he wanted. :'''Ryan''': To be remembered as a dead homeless junkie who stole their stuff? :'''Wilfred''': Exactly. To be remembered. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Mr. Patel''': My friend, I feel great shame for accusing you unjustly. I will not sleep well tonight, but tomorrow during the day I'll take a long nap. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Doubt'' [1.11] === :'''Opening quote''': "Doubt must be no more than vigilance, otherwise it can become dangerous." - [[Georg Christoph Lichtenberg|George C. Lichtenberg]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': I wasn't going to tell you, because you've been acting so negative lately, but I'm going on a date tomorrow night. :'''Wilfred''': ''[mockingly]'' A date? With who? :'''Ryan''': ''[nervously]'' No one. Just... someone I met. :'''Wilfred''': Met where? :'''Ryan''': Well, I... ''[glances towards his laptop]'' :''[Wilfred runs over to the laptop and opens it]'' :'''Ryan''': ''[haltingly]'' No. :'''Wilfred''': "LoveMatchDating.com"? :'''Wilfred''': Oh, my God! :'''Wilfred''': Please tell me that donkey-faced thing with the braces is not the chick you're going out with. :'''Ryan''' (protesting): She doesn't have braces! :'''Wilfred''': Yeah, you just can't see them, cause they're probably on her legs. How do you think she supports that massive donkey face? :'''Ryan''': I think she's a great match for me. :'''Ryan''': She's a partner at a marketing firm, she enjoys fitness, and she's looking for a long-term relationship. :'''Wilfred''': It's way too soon for that. Let me find you a nice 'hit-it-and-quit-it' chick. :''[Wilfred sits on the couch and browses through profiles on the website.]'' :'''Wilfred''': Gross. Out of your league. Lazy eye. Balding Asian grandmother. Gross! Ooh! Here we go. ''[showing the page to Ryan]'' "Angelique"! :'''Ryan''' (shocked/disgusted): Are you kidding? :'''Wilfred''': Are '''you''' kidding? "Favorite music: all types." This chick must be, like, an expert in music! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': Wilfred... This thing we have. The way we communicate. Have you ever had this sort of relationship with anyone else? :'''Wilfred''': Why do you ask? :'''Ryan''' Have you? :'''Wilfred''': It happened once before. I was at a party. And this guy looked right at me and said: "Hey! What's up, dog? I see you. And I know what you're up to." And I said, "well, I see you too. If you got something to say, say it." Turns out he was talking to the guy right behind me, who had been banging his wife. Ryan, please tell me there's not been a guy standing right behind me ever since we've met? :'''Ryan''': So nobody else? :'''Wilfred''': You're one of a kind, Ryan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''': I really think I'm gonna be alright. :'''Wilfred''': Of course you are. I'm not going anywhere. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bruce''': You convinced me to make out with my own father. :'''Wilfred''': Everybody at the party loved it. They thought it was edgy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bruce''': Wilfred ruined my life, and you know what? You're next. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': What did you do with my hair? I distinctly remember leaving it right here, all over the place. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Sacrifice'' [1.12] === :'''Opening quote''': "Love is a willingness to sacrifice." - [[Michael Novak]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': I swear, it's like as soon as you take the dick out of Bears mouth it's just blah blah blah (making a talking hand gesture) <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Just because I'm leaving doesn't mean we can't still be friends. :'''Wilfred''': Friends? What, you thought we were actually...[laughs] That is hilarious. And a little embarrassing for you, because I never really saw us like that. :'''Mr. Patel''': How much for this piece of shit flatscreen TV? :'''Wilfred''': You're selling the TV? That's the cornerstone of our friendship! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Ryan, I've always had your best interest at heart, and I've never asked for anything in return...except for a bunch of stuff. <hr width="50%" /> <hr width="50%" /> :'''Jenna''': Wilfred pooped on your lawn. :'''Wilfred''': There is symbolism in that poop Ryan...and some grass...and half a slipper. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': I was gonna get it on Kindle, but then people couldn't see how deep I am. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Identity'' [1.13] === :'''Opening quote''': "The value of identity is that so often with it comes purpose." - [[Richard R. Grant]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ryan''' What are you doing? :'''Wilfred''' I'm writing my will. After I'm gone, I don't want you and Bear fighting over my shit. Or any of my other stuff. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''' (concerned): Who are you? What are you? WHY are you? :'''Wilfred''' (whispering/preoccupied): I can't tell you. :'''Ryan''': Why not? :'''Wilfred''' (whispering): They are listening. :'''Ryan''' (confused): What? ''[Wilfred shhes Ryan and covers his mouth, while looking around concerned as if someone was listening. Still worried, Wilfred turns on the stereo to some smooth jazz.]'' :'''Wilfred''' (serious): Are you sure you want to know? :'''Ryan''': Yes. Is this a joke? :'''Wilfred''': It's not. Ryan, remember the night before we met, the pills you took? :'''Ryan''': Yes. :'''Wilfred''': They worked mate. :'''Wilfred''': I'm sorry Ryan. They worked. Must have noticed things here are, different. Shit's a little off. Right? :'''Ryan''' (wispering/totally worried): Am I...? :'''Wilfred''': No. You're somewhere in between. Your future depends on the outcome of that settlement, meeting, tomorrow. If Jenna gets her job back, you get to move on. :'''Ryan''': So none of this is really happening? :'''Wilfred''': Everything on the island is real, the rest is an illusion. :'''Ryan''' (speaking up): What island? :'''Wilfred''': Ah, forget that last bit. :'''Ryan''' (screaming): Wilfred! ''[Wilfred looks around and crouches, acting as if in danger]'' :'''Wilfred''': Shh. Smoke monster! ''[Ryan turns off the music]'' :'''Ryan''': I've seen Lost, Wilfred. :'''Wilfred''': What did you think of the ending? :'''Ryan''' (annoyed): Why can't I get a straight answer out of you? :'''Wilfred''': Come on, Ryan. These are big existential questions, best left for boring Russian novelist and teenagers on acid. Real people don't think about this shit. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Very clever, Ryan. :'''Ryan''': Figured out my plan, didn't you? ''[Ryan pulls out a bubble blower while speaking with Wilfred.]'' :'''Wilfred''': No. But if you think I'm just going to stand by and watch you... ''[Ryan blows, making bubbles all over.]'' :'''Wilfred''' (childishly): Bubbles!! One, two, three... ''[Wilfred runs around bursting bubbles and counting them]'' <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': This is nothing compared to some of the shit you've pulled. :'''Wilfred''': Yeah, but you're not me! You're a good person! And you're a person! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': I know why you're here now, to stop me from slipping down that slope. Please Wilfred, I need you to pull me back up. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': I hope you're proud of yourself Ryan. I'm gonna be up all night licking Jenna's tears. Do you know what all that sodium's gonna do to my blood pressure? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': I don't know what you're up to Ryan, but I've got my nose and ears on you...and my eyes too, I guess, but frankly my vision's pretty shitty. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Ignorance is 9/10 of the law. :'''Ryan''': That's possession. :'''Wilfred''': She wasn't charged with possession Ryan. I thought you were a good lawyer. <hr width="50%"/> ==Season 2== === ''Progress'' [2.01] === :'''Opening quote''': "Discontent is the first necessity of progress." - [[Thomas Edison]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Eddy''': It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. :'''Ryan''': Wait, that's from Good Will Hunting. Holy Shit, you're Robin Williams. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Apparently for the better part of three months, I was sitting in a coat closet getting baked with a dog. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Do you know why dogs dig? :'''Ryan''': Because they're searching for bones? :'''Wilfred''': Because we're searching for truth. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': It said "wake up," which is weird because I read somewhere that people can't read while they're dreaming. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Letting Go'' [2.02] === :'''Opening quote''': "Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go." - [[Herman Hesse]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': You see what it says there? Participant. Do you think they give one of those to every dog who takes part in the competition? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': We get it, Beans. We all know you got tasty balls. No need to flaunt it. Jesus, is there no limits to this guy's arrogance? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': Oh typical. Won't even shlob this guy's nob to help a friend get steroids. You selfish prick. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': I have a strict policy against taking any drug that's not illegal. They're never strong enough. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Drew says that it helps you achieve maximum core rippage. :'''Wilfred''': That's just the kinda rippage I need. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': See what I did there? I got super tired, stopped running, and started dry heaving. I've gotta not do that. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Was he pissed off about something? :'''Wilfred''': Drew drives hard. Dude's confident behind the wheel. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Ryan''': Mustard stains are the new black <hr width="50%" /> :'''Amanda''': You know what, I don't get it. I've calculated my facial proportions and I'm 94% symmetrical, which according to the index is borderline hot. And I dressed up this boring old lab coat with a quirky Japanese robot pin, so you know I'm fun. And everyone in the office already knows I am a total sex addict. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': I remember you, Ryan. Memory is like the Packers when they're behind by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter...it comes back. <hr width="50%"/> === ''Dignity'' [2.03] === :'''Opening quote''': "Let not a man guard his dignity but let his dignity guard him." - [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilfred''': Those idiots wouldn't know adorable if it cornered them in a holding cell and raped them with a plunger handle. That reminds me; Bear could you pick up a plunger before our next date night? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Jeremy''': Tomorrow. Possible? :'''Wilfred''': You, not being a d**k. Possible? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Jeremy''': If those clowns come up with a cure for lung cancer it is going to be a sad, sad day. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Wilfred''': I'm an office dog. It's my duty to entertain and amuse, and if I can't do it they'll bring in some foosball table who can! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Amanda''': I only huff the good stuff.

Similar to ''Family Guy'', it exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. ===''[[w:BFFs (The Cleveland Show)|BFFs]]''=== :''[Cleveland returns to Quahog and rings the Griffins' doorbell.

As a result, he gets reassigned to the U.S. District covering the town where he grew up. It is based on [[Elmore Leonard]]'s novels ''[[w:Pronto (novel)|Pronto]]'' and ''[[w:Riding the Rap|Riding the Rap]]'' and his short story "Fire in the Hole". == Season 1 == === ''Fire in the Hole'' [1.01] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You concerned about me coming down here? :'''Art Mullen''': It's a small office, Raylan. I'm concerned when we switch brands of coffee. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[to Dewey Crowe]'' Hey, if I was you, I'd give up this Nazi bullshit. Go back to poaching gators. It's safer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You know, Boyd, I think you just use the Bible to do whatever the hell you like. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, what do you think I like, Raylan? :'''Raylan Givens''': You like to get money and blow shit up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ava Crowder''': You wanna know what Bowman said when he looked up and he saw me with his deer rifle? :'''Boyd Crowder''': God damn, woman, you only shoot people when they're eatin' supper? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I guess I never thought of myself as an angry man. :'''Winona Hawkins''': Well, you do a good job of hiding it, and I suppose most folks don't see it, but honestly, you're the angriest man I have ever known. === ''Riverbrook'' [1.02] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Looks like it hurts. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Why, yes, Raylan. Thank you for noticing. Somebody shot me in the chest the other day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': I got a call this morning from AUSA David Vasquez. Wants to talk to you about you shooting Boyd Crowder. :'''Raylan Givens''': What's there to talk about? He pulled first. There was a witness. :'''Art Mullen''': But you see, ten days ago you shot a man in Miami. Put it like this: you were in the first grade; bit a kid every week? They'd start to think of you as a biter. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Art tells me you were a sniper with the Rangers. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Yeah, I was. :'''Raylan Givens''': What's the longest you ever had to watch a target? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Three days. Shitty little village outside Kandahar. You watch a man that long, you can get to know him better than his wife does. How he reads the paper, picks his nose, what glass he likes for tea, what one for milk. If he jerks off, what he looks at when he does. If he's nice to the dog when no one's around. :'''Raylan Givens''': What's the trick to something like that? Keeping your focus? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Well, they told us to come up with stories about ourselves and the target. :'''Raylan Givens''': What do you mean, "stories"? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Well, nothing elaborate. Imagine taking Shirley to the movies, watching Price is Right, eating takeout Chinese. They eventually stopped that, the business with the stories. :'''Raylan Givens''': Why is that? :'''Tim Gutterson''': They found some folks get so involved in the tales they're telling themselves, they grow to like the target. And when they got the green light, they couldn't pull. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Douglas Cooper''': Y'all sleeping together? :'''Shirley Kelso''': We're cousins! :'''Douglas Cooper''': Well, from all the lotions, condoms, and devices I saw sitting on your nightstand, it's clear you're sleeping with somebody. :'''Dupree''': ''[beat]'' Well, it ain't like we're first cousins or anything... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel Brooks''': Got to ask. Why the hat? :'''Raylan Givens''': Honestly? I tried it on one time, and it fit. === ''Fixer'' [1.03] === :'''Art Mullen''': Raylan, I got a courtesy call from the Harlan County Sheriff's Department — your daddy was arrested. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Did he kill anybody? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Miami is a sunny place for shady people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I got sent here, I think because they knew it was the one place I didn't want to go. In fact, as I recall, Winona and I promised each other we'd never come back here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Tim, when you were working with Pinter, you ever come across a guy looks like a black Mr Clean? Dresses like the janitor in a rap video. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Like it says Tommy Hilfiger on his coveralls? :'''Raylan Givens''': Yeah, like he wears a t-shirt with his gators. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Detroit accent, looks like he could dead-lift the back of a car? :'''Raylan Givens''': ....... Uh-huh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': I love how these guys are so calm when you're coughing up blood. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arnold Pinter''': I hate it here. Kentucky. I hate every one of these toothless, banjo strumming, red neck pricks. No offence. === ''Long in the Tooth'' [1.04] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You ever consider I happen to be good at the job? :'''Rachel Brooks''': And you being a tall, good-looking white man with a shitload of swagger, that has nothing to do with it? You get away with just about anything. :'''Raylan Givens''': What do I get away with? :'''Rachel Brooks''': Look in the mirror. How do you think it'd go over if I came into work one day wearing a cowboy hat? You think I'd get away with that? :'''Raylan Givens''': Want to try it on? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I can only imagine how hard it has been for you to get where you are in the Marshal service :'''Rachel Brooks''': Because I'm black or because I'm a woman? :'''Raylan Givens''': Because you're an idiot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank''': ''[discussing [[Pulp Fiction]]]'' I'm saying, why does he still have his gun out in the first place? When's the last time you rode around in a car holding your gun? :'''Joe''': 'Cause it's a ''movie''! That don't happen, then there's no movie. No messy car, no cleaner. I mean, what do they do? They drive home, jerk off, take a nap? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Looks like we have a sniper on the Mexican side. :'''Roland Pike''': Well, that's not going to help tourism. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Are you armed? :'''Roland Pike''': Well, I just had my dick in my hand. === ''The Lord of War and Thunder'' [1.05] === :'''Art Mullen''': You've been in here for three days, and you've got no sign. :'''Rachel Brooks''': Not no sign. His ex-wife has been packing in a lot of beer. :'''Art Mullen''': Well, get a search warrant. :'''Rachel Brooks''': Can't get a warrant based on beer consumption. :'''Art Mullen''': How do you know? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': We tried. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[about Arlo]'' Why can't you bail him out? :'''Helen Givens''': Those are the first words out of your mouth? :'''Raylan Givens''': I'm sorry, I'll start again. I see you're still smoking. :'''Helen Givens''': You still piss in your bed? :'''Raylan Givens''': No, you see, I gave up my bad habits. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arlo Givens''': I heard about you shooting Boyd. :'''Raylan Givens''': Hmm. :'''Arlo Givens''': All I need is a bunch of Crowders wanting revenge on a Givens. :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, I think I'm higher up on their list. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arlo Givens''': Where were you, woman? :'''Helen Givens''': Down in the parking lot, giving blowjobs for cash. :'''Arlo Givens''': Were you paying or were they? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Crowder''': You shot my cousin. :'''Raylan Givens''': No, no. God shot Boyd. Ask him. He'll tell you I saved his soul. === ''The Collection'' [1.06] === :'''Ava Crowder''': You're tarnished with the dark stain of D-I-V-O-R-C-E. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': My marriage ended a little bit more amicably than yours. :'''Ava Crowder''': Funny, why did your marriage end? :'''Raylan Givens''': It seemed like a good idea at the time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': Are you cold standing out here? :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[without his shirt on]'' Not really. Why? :'''Art Mullen''': 'Cause I can't keep from staring at your nipples! :'''Raylan Givens''': I'll be out in ten. :'''Art Mullen''': Thank you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I figure people have a right to their hobbies and I have a right to find those people creepy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Karl Hanselman''': Next time you're in Cincinnati, come by the gallery, I'll show you my collection. I think you'll be quite surprised. :'''Raylan Givens''': Honestly, I'd rather stick my dick in a blender. :'''Art Mullen''': Well, ''that'' might solve a few problems. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Karl Hanselman''': My father grew up in Germany, in Munich, before the war. He was very poor. He saw the wealthy of his city, and he wanted what they had. But there was no way someone like him could ever hope to rise to that... and then along came a very charismatic man who knew who was to blame, and my father followed him. Publicly, after the war, my father recanted everything the Reich stood for, but he never did in his heart. In private, after some wine, he would say that his years working for Hitler were the best of his life. His proudest achievement was when Hitler selected him to run a team that went through the country, reacquiring the Fuhrer's old paintings. I hated my father. So, this has been my project. I buy Hitler's shitty paintings... and I ''burn'' them. === ''Blind Spot'' [1.07] === :'''Art Mullen''': Just what part of being under investigation confuses you, Raylan? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': So many things confuse me, Art. :'''Art Mullen''': Do you think we're going to banter here? 'Cause we're not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hunter Mosley''': You know what they say about back woods cabins in Harlan, they're like assholes, sawed off shotguns and pick-up trucks. :'''Ava Crowder''': Everybody's got one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hunter Mosley''': You know, I put Bo away five years ago. He was running drugs up through Harlan. Wasn't selling, more of a conduit for shit flowing up from the South. But my problem with the Crowders started a while before that. You remember Henry Crowder? :'''Raylan Givens''': He drove the Bookmobile around to all the schools. :'''Hunter Mosley''': Great guy, sweet guy. The one good Crowder. :'''Raylan Givens''': Yeah. :'''Hunter Mosley''': Until one day, eight years ago, he picked up a 10-year-old little girl, drove her over to Pine Mountain Forest, tied her up— :'''Raylan Givens''': No. :'''Hunter Mosley''': —raped her, strangled her. Charlotte Rose Thomas. My niece. :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, I can't imagine anything worse than that. :'''Hunter Mosley''': She'd be finishing high school about now. :'''Raylan Givens''': You put Henry away? :'''Hunter Mosley''': I spent years searching high and low. Never found him. But I rode them Crowders hard. Some folks say that's why I put Bo away for his drug running. :'''Raylan Givens''': As opposed to you actually doing your job. :'''Hunter Mosley''': Exactly. Did make a contribution, though. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Red''': What do they want? :'''Hunter Mosley''': Well, they want rainbows and unicorns. God damn it, Red! Catch up! What do you think they want? They want Raylan Givens. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You honestly see a way out of this? :'''Hunter Mosley''': Well, you mean like one of those police chases on TV? Helicopter following some dipshit through the streets? You know, when that idiot finally crashes, you ever notice how many get out and run? If you're like me, you're yelling at the TV, "What the hell you running for, asshole? We gonna get you!" And we always do, right? Except we don't, really. You know that. Not always. They just don't show the ones that get away on TV. :'''Raylan Givens''': You're gonna be one of the lucky ones, huh? :'''Hunter Mosley''': If I've got a one-in-a-hundred, Hell, if I've got a one-in-a-million shot, I'm gonna take it. === ''Blowback'' [1.08] === :'''Bo Crowder''': You all right, daughter-in-law? You look like you just walked on your own grave. What, are you surprised to see me? I figured that Raylan Deputy Marshal Givens would have told you I was getting out. Especially since he's the one that got my sentence cut by 87 days and a wake-up. :'''Ava Crowder''': What the hell are you talking about? :'''Bo Crowder''': By taking down Sheriff Hunter. All the cases that got made by that lying son of a bitch are now liable to be reopened. So, the US Attorney decided that anybody with a sentence less than six months wasn't worth retrying. Gave us all early release. God bless America. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bo Crowder''': Howdy, Marshal, I sure am glad you could join us. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Oh, no, no, no. I'm not joining you. You were just leaving. :'''Bo Crowder''': Actually, I was just telling my daughter-in-law how the one thing that separates the pie we get inside from a nice piece, like this one here, is the smell. I mean, there ain't nothing in the world like it. You know what, girl? I think I'm gonna have to lick your plate. :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[grabbing his shoulder]'' Are you gonna walk out of here, or is this gonna have to go a different way? :'''Bo Crowder''': The last man that put his hands on me like that, I beat him until his eyes bled. I guess it's a lucky thing for both of us that I ain't a convict any more, ain't it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': With one phone call, I was able to discover that the deposition you were scheduled to work this afternoon had been cancelled, letting me know that you'd be home early, and likely be home alone. Imagine what a genuine predator would have been able to do with that information. :'''Winona Hawkins''': Or I could just call the police. :'''Wynn Duffy''': The police are just a janitorial service used to clean up your blood after you've been murdered. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cal Wallace''': Hey, shooter? You got much experience with this sort of thing? Negotiating with a barricaded suspect? :'''Raylan Givens''': Not really. :'''Cal Wallace''': Well, you're doing a good job so far. You have established a rapport with the subject. But now you got to make a determination. Is the subject emotionally disturbed? Well, you got an opinion on that? :'''Raylan Givens''': You seem pretty stable. Although, you did spend all morning with a shiv up your ass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[After defusing the hostage situation]'' I think the bourbon sealed it. :'''David Vasquez''': You must be glad to finally find a professional use for your office bottle, huh, Chief? :'''Art Mullen''': I don't know what you're talking about. I was just as surprised to find that in here as anybody else. :'''David Vasquez''': It was probably the cleaning staff that left it. :'''Art Mullen''': Yeah. Teenagers. :'''Raylan Givens''': Hopped-up kids on a joyride to hell. === ''Hatless'' [1.09] === :'''Wynn Duffy''': Listen, I don't know how you're associated with Mr. Hawkins, or why, but I'm gonna give you this opportunity to extricate yourself from his predicament before you get involved in something that, quite frankly, you don't want to be involved in. :'''Toby Griffin''': And I'm gonna give you a minute to extricate yourself up out my face before I have to paint your office with your shit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gary Hawkins''': You talk to Arnett? :'''Wynn Duffy''': I did. :'''Gary Hawkins''': And? :''[Billy Mac knocks down Gary]'' :'''Wynn Duffy''': I would describe his attitude towards your suggestions as unreceptive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bartender''': Wouldn't it be easier just to buy a new hat? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Probably, but I ain't looking for easy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': Come on, Emmitt! Come on! Show me the Benjamins the homeys are always rapping about! :'''Raylan Givens''': Emmitt, I assume you're gonna take care of that. :'''Emmitt Arnett''': How the hell was I supposed to know he was gonna show up without any cash? :'''Raylan Givens''': Right, but eventually— :'''Billy Mac''': Duffy's right. What happens to our cut if you pocket that deed? :'''Emmitt Arnett''': Just get control of yourself, boy. Just relax. You're gonna get your portion. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Of what? The ''land?'' What am I, ''a farmer?'' Show me the cash, Emmitt, or I swear to God I'm gonna get a machete and a blowtorch, and I'm gonna make your body as small as I possibly can! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[to Duffy]'' I shot people I like more for less. === ''The Hammer'' [1.10] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': ''[saying grace before Boyd's flock]'' Dear Lord, before we eat this meal, we ask forgiveness for our sins. Especially Boyd, who blew up a black church with a rocket launcher, and afterwards he shot his associate Jared Hale in the back of the head out on Tate's Creek Bridge. Let the image of Jared's brain matter on that windshield not dampen our appetites, but may the knowledge of Boyd's past sins help guide these men. May this food provide them with all the nourishment they need. But if it does not, may they find comfort in knowing that the United States Marshal Service is offering fifty thousand dollars to any individual providing information that will put Boyd back in prison. Cash or check, we can make it out to them, or to Jesus, whoever they want. In your name, we pray. Amen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Reardon''': ''[to Raylan]'' Look at you. You are every inch the goddamn gunslinger I heard. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': You know what Rome looked like before it became Rome, don't you? Some huts on the side of a hill, Little stream running through it. What it became... well, as they say, it didn't happen in a day. :'''Johnny Crowder''': So you're building Rome? Well, I don't think this property is zoned for that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Crowder''': See, now, there you go again. Bullshit or true belief, I just can't tell. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Truth always sounds like lies to a sinner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Hey, uh, I was at the office earlier. One of the other deputies was reviewing your cases. He found one that was curious. A fella name of Kit McKendrie. :'''Mike Reardon''': McKendrie. Yeah. :'''Raylan Givens''': You remember him? :'''Mike Reardon''': I remember his face, his greasy hair, stained teeth. :'''Raylan Givens''': What was the deal there? :'''Mike Reardon''': Did you read about the case? :'''Raylan Givens''': Just the bare bones. :'''Mike Reardon''': ''[to the bartender]'' Thanks, darlin'. ''[to Raylan]'' Yeah, I had him in my court, before I got to federal. First-time offender. Everything in me said that boy was evil. He had a daddy used to stub butts out on his arm. Swear to Christ, there were cigarette burns all the way up to his shoulder. So, I pushed down what my gut said, I give him a cream puff 18 months, banged it down to time served. About a year later, McKendrie shot a 6-year-old And the state trooper who come to get him. I looked into his eyes, and I knew he was no good, but I let my feelings interfere. Never again. === ''Veterans'' [1.11] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': You gonna introduce me to your friends? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Oh, my mistake, I'm sorry. Yes, of course, Art Mullen, chief deputy of this office, my boss. I thought you guys had met that night I shot you, but of course you were unconscious by the time he showed up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Raylan, we're getting precipitously close to the moment I ask to have my lawyer present. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bo Crowder''': That day I came to pick you up at big Sandy and I asked you to work some hours to help me rebuild my business and you said you wanted to walk another path, well, I reacted poorly. That's why I came too see you today, son, to say I'm sorry, to beg your forgiveness and your indulgence. :''[Bo hands Boyd an envelope of money]'' :'''Boyd Crowder''': What's this? :'''Bo Crowder''': The smoke from your blast sent a signal across all of Harlan County. I got people lining up with cash in their hands, begging me for protection. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, I can't accept this. :'''Bo Crowder''': Why not? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Cause I know where it comes from. The bible tells us that "a gift blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous." :'''Bo Crowder''': Well, then let's just consider it an offering, my tithes to your church of the last this, that, or the other. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You're not taking me seriously, Daddy, and I don't find that amusing. :'''Bo Crowder''': You know, it's funny. I was just about to say the same goddamn thing to you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bo Crowder''': Where's my money? :'''Arlo Givens''': There is no money. People stopped paying. :'''Bo Crowder''': You invited me over here to tell me this? :'''Arlo Givens''': No, Bo, I invited you over to tell you you have to do something about your son Boyd. He has gone clear off the deep end. :'''Bo Crowder''': Well, shit, at least he hasn't joined the other team, become a goddamn Marshal for Christ's sake. :'''Arlo Givens''': At least Raylan doesn't run around, preaching Jesus and blowing up meth labs. :'''Bo Crowder''': I got control over my boy. Can you say the same about yours? He comes to town, it's to ruin the likes of you and me. :'''Arlo Givens''': Only reason my son comes to Harlan is because of your son! :'''Bo Crowder''': …You’re gonna give me my money. :'''Arlo Givens''': How much you want? :'''Bo Crowder''': Fifty, to start off with- :'''Arlo Givens''': I don’t have that. :'''Bo Crowder''': How much you got? :'''Arlo Givens''': Nothing. :'''Bo Crowder''': Well, then why did you ask?! :'''Arlo Givens''': Being polite. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, how'd he get you to talk, then? :'''Dewey Crowe''': He deputized me. :'''Boyd Crowder''': He did what? :'''Dewey Crowe''': He said he could deputize me, and then I had to talk. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Oh, that Raylan Givens. He sure is a clever one. === ''Fathers and Sons'' [1.12] === :'''Bo Crowder''': You know, I may not own a private plane or a fancy car, and when you look at me, you probably just see some dumb redneck who likes to eat roadkill for breakfast and have sex with his cousins. I don't eat roadkill, I don't screw my relatives, and I didn't just get off of no short bus. So for you to bring me all the way down here to threaten me, as if I didn't already fully understand the stakes of our business agreement? Hoss, that's just downright insulting. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': ''[to Raylan]'' That's enough. I'm the chief, this is my office, it's my informant and it's my call. And that's my bottle, and I'm not gonna let you drink it all just because your daddy didn't hug you much when you were little. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, as many of you good people may remember, I was a hateful man, and I was a sinful man. Seeking my way through the darkness, looking for salvation in worldly things! And evil things. Like Saul on the road to Damascus, I was long gone on a sinful journey, when the light of the Lord shone upon me on my deathbed in a prison hospital. And, brothers and sisters, I'm here to tell you today that bullet missed my heart, but it struck my soul. It struck it. For I was blinded. I was blinded. I could no longer see ungodly truth. For if any man be born again in Christ is a new creature, well, I am a new. a new creature! I am a new creature! :'''Preacher''': Thank you, Boyd. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Not quite finished yet, Reverend. :'''Preacher''': By all means, continue. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Now - Now, Jesus entered a temple in Jerusalem. He found moneylenders buying and selling where they should have been a-praying. He called their church a den of thieves. And he turned over their tables. He cast out the robbers! He cast them out! He cast them out! Hallelujah! He cast them out! And like Jesus, like Jesus, like Jesus, we must never be afraid to strike out against those who practice evil! We must take the high road of righteousness, even if it means walking, walking and leaving our own flesh and blood behind. Because there is no greater piety, brothers and sisters, - than the love of God. Amen to that! He is my one true father. There is no other. There is no other, Preacher. There's no other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Drug Chemist''': ''[to Hestler Jones]'' Listen, [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]], next time we're opening a dick sucking business, I'll ask for your advice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bo Crowder''': As a churchgoing man, I admire your turnaround, Boyd. I could never walk the path, though I understood its virtue. Your change has been remarkable, son. Having said that, you are getting severely goddamn close to meeting your maker. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You know, I continue to tell myself that you are not an evil man, because I believe that in your heart, you have the ability to do the right thing. But I will tell you something, Daddy, and you mark my words. Now, you bring meth into our homes, and I will destroy it. :''[Bo laughs]'' :'''Boyd Crowder''': You think that's funny? :'''Bo Crowder''': You know what's funny? You destroy me or my shit, it's the same thing as destroying yourself. That there is Crowder gospel. You mark them damn words, son. === ''Bulletville'' [1.13] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': For years I lusted after you, and I was far from subtle. Well, that was wrong. And not only because you were my brother's wife, but because it was unseemly, unwanted and it made you uncomfortable. :'''Ava Crowder''': If by uncomfortable you mean it made my skin crawl, then yes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bo Crowder''': Who am I kiddin'? I can't hurt my own son. ''[pause]'' Johnny, hurt my son. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bo Crowder''': Yeah, you see, the problem there is, I still don't know whether or not I can trust you. :'''Arlo Givens''': You've known me 50 years. :'''Bo Crowder''': Should that incline me to trust you more or less? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Dear Heavenly Father, I'm not gonna pretend to understand. You told me what you wanted done, and that's what we did. How could you let it end like this? All these men trusted me to lead them on the path of righteousness for your name's sake. All these men came to you because they believed in me. And now they're dead. I'm gonna need a sign. I'm gonna need to know that their sacrifice meant something to you. ''[Boyd pauses, then sighs]'' Maybe I've just been talking to myself this whole time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Where you going? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': I'm going after the young lady with the automatic weapon. :'''Boyd Crowder''': I'll get her. :'''Raylan Givens''': What are you gonna do after you get her? :'''Boyd Crowder''': I ain't quite figured that out yet. Are you gonna shoot to stop me? :'''Raylan Givens''': Maybe. :'''Boyd Crowder''': I'm pretty sure you're empty. :'''Raylan Givens''': You gonna bet your life on that? :'''Boyd Crowder''': No Raylan, I'm gonna bet my life on you being the only friend I have left in this world. == Season 2 == === ''The Moonshine War'' [2.01] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Alright look, I've tried to be reasonable. You give me your word in ten seconds or I shoot you in the head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': So, you want to transfer me? :'''Art Mullen''': Honestly, Raylan, I don't know who would take you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy Earl Dean''': You're very funny. That's good stuff. :'''Loretta MacCready''': Is this gonna be your new line? How we got the same sense of humor? What's in your mind? How do you think this is gonna go? You thinking, "maybe we'll fight a little, then it'll turn to wrestling and tickling and laughing, then she'll say, 'ooh, don't touch me there,' and then she won't stop me"? Is that how it runs in your head? You don't even know what to say now, do you? Even me talking about wrestling and tickling and "ooh, don't touch me there," it's like a spell's been cast, and you won't break it. Well, maybe you're just dreaming and you don't wanna wake up. [''Loretta slaps Dean hard across the face''] ''Well, wake up!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Woah woah, okay. I'm just gonna ask you one question. Do you know how a firearm works? :'''Jimmy Earl Dean''': What? :'''Raylan Givens''': The key word in firearm is "fire." When the pin hits the cap, makes the charge explode, meaning there's a spark, which should be of some concern to a man soaked in gasoline. :'''Jimmy Earl Dean''': That's bullshit. That spark's too far away from the gasoline. :'''Raylan Givens''': You didn't finish school, did you, Mr. Dean? It's not the liquid that burns. It's the fumes. Now, look. Now look, normally I would have just shot you myself the second you pulled, but I am doing my level best to avoid the paper work and the self-recrimination that comes with it, though Lord knows that you are the kind that makes it worth it more.

Mixture's all natural, from up in the hills. All kinds of knowledge up in the hills. Something my grandmama taught me. She learned it from her grandmama. :'''Walt MacCready''': Loretta? :'''Mags Bennett''': I'll raise her myself. Don't you think that'll be better for her? Then the way it's been around here with you and your sadness. All the troubles of your hard life, it's all gone now. You get to know the mystery, Walt. You get to see your Sally Ann again. === ''The Life Inside'' [2.02] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': My outlaw ways are behind me. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Just you saying that scares the shit out of me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You kicked the man out of the house?

But I don't miss. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I saw a man threaten to shoot a pregnant woman through the belly, just before a bullet went through his brain so... I guess you could say, it wasn't good. :'''Winona Hawkins''': I can handle that, Raylan. I can't handle silence. === ''The I of the Storm'' [2.03] === :'''Art Mullen''': So, you were out with somebody, and Tim happened to be there. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Could we not? :'''Art Mullen''': Just suppose it could be Rachel. Are you sleeping with Rachel? :'''Raylan Givens''': No. :'''Art Mullen''': I don't guess Ava's looking to spend time with you. And I think I would remember if it was me. :'''Raylan Givens''': You done? :'''Art Mullen''': Unless, of course, you roofied me.

My parents had good jobs, there was a feast on the table after church on Sundays. Shawnee and I would ride our Huffys around the neighborhood. We had good hair, and made straight A's. Except, as my mother reminds me, that wasn't reality. The jobs weren't all that good, and my father was never a happy man even before he got sick. And Shawnee was smoking pot at 9 and running away to smoke heroin at 15. :'''Raylan Givens''': I never bore any illusions that my family was the Cosbys. :'''Art Mullen''': Your family wasn't funny. :'''Tim Gutterson''': At least you got to shoot your father. Mine had the nerve to die before I got back from Basic with skills and a loaded weapon. :'''Raylan Givens''': You didn't miss much. I thought it was gonna be way more fun than it was. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doyle Bennett''': I had nothing to do with it. :'''Mags Bennett''': Other than shootin' a couple of assholes to keep 'em from talking. :'''Doyle Bennett''': Yeah, well... that. === ''Cottonmouth'' [2.05] === :'''Ava Crowder''': Why did you agree to rob that mine in the first place? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Because it's what I do. It's who I am, Ava. As hard as I've been trying to pretend otherwise. Everybody else seems to know that but me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tom Bergen''': Art, I've been in Harlan 18 years.

How long did you think it'd take before that'd come back on us? :'''Coover Bennett''': Mama, that's that federal. He's aiming for trouble with us, always has been. :'''Mags Bennett''': 'Cause of your actions! Starting with hiring that pederast to do a job I give you. :'''Coover Bennett''': I'm sorry, Mama. :'''Mags Bennett''': Coover, I know you're sorry.

And I like Coover. === ''Blaze of Glory'' [2.06] === :'''ATF Agent''': Did she screw all your relatives? Or just you two? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Now sir, I know you have an investigation to conduct but if you disrespect Ava one more time, I'm gonna come across this table. :'''Art Mullen''': I think a threat against a federal officer would be a little more specific. Something more along the lines of, "If you disrespect Miss Crowder again I'll beat the ever loving shit out of ya". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Winona Hawkins''': ''[to Raylan]'' The one who kicked me in the face... if you get the chance, shoot him in the nuts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank Reasoner''': ''[to Carter Hayes]'' I got you figured.

It's a little strange for me too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gary Hawkins''': I'm glad you agreed to see me, given our history. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Our history, indeed. I took a bullet, lost seven pints of blood, and eighteen inches of intestine. I had the surgeons keep it for me as a memento of that day preserved in Lucite. Would you like to see it? :'''Gary Hawkins''': Okay. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Gary, I didn't have eighteen inches of intestine preserved in Lucite. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Raylan. Raylan, I would never presume to tell you how to do your job and I understand that I am very new in this security game. However, I have spent a considerable amount of time hiding explosives. Now if you would like, I'd be more than happy to walk around here with you, show you where would I hide mine, in case there might be a place that you might miss. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': The truth is, I don't know if you can trust Boyd to have your back but well, he has tried to kill me, and I have shot him, and imprisoned him and I wouldn't be surprised if our paths again cross in such a manner. He ''has'' had my back on two occasions. Once was the last day I was in the mine, and the other not so long ago. :'''Carol Johnson''': My, sounds like a love story. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You think he was telling the truth? :'''Art Mullen''': Well he's a bank robber Raylan, why would he lie to me? === ''The Spoil'' [2.08] === :'''Kid''': No spikes, no seeds, no helmet, no hitting. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan]]''': Nothing about no beating the shit out of a teenager though.

Well, I'm on assignment by the federal government. You're a hired gun thug for a crooked company. Now, the only thing that we're on the same side of is, like, this car. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol Johnson''': There have been some threats. :'''Mags Bennett''': Oh, well, that's just awful. :'''Carol Johnson''': Part of the job, I suppose. :'''Mags Bennett''': Yeah, it's not easy being a strong woman. Take it from me. But you just keep doing what you're doing. Don't let them see you sweat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mags Bennett''': Apparently, Black Pike is here to help us realize God's great plan. And all they're asking us to let them do, is cut the top off our mountain. Well, my people pioneered this valley when George Washington was president of the United States. And as long as we've been here, the story's always been the same: the big money men come in, take the timber and the coal and the strength of our people. And what do they leave behind? Poundments full of poison slurry and valleys full of toxic trash! Yeah! You know what happens when 500 million gallons of slurry breaks loose? The gates of hell open! :'''Carol Johnson''': Those poundments are built strong to keep the slurry back. :'''Mags Bennett''': The gates of hell open, and all that waste rolls down through the hollers and poisons the water and the land and everything it touches! Mining company has a has a word for those leavings doesn't it? "The spoil. ''The spoil''"! And that is what our lives will be if Black Pike has their way with our mountain. :'''Carol Johnson''': With all due respect, Mrs. Bennett, Black Pike will replace the mountaintops and leave money a lot of money in the pockets of the working people of Bennett and Harlan counties. :'''Mags Bennett''': Is that a fact? :'''Carol Johnson''': Yes, ma'am, that is a fact. :'''Mags Bennett''': Well, that's something to consider. 'Cause it ain't an easy life here. No, ma'am. To an outsider, it's probably hard to understand why we're all not just lining up and saying, "Where do we sign?" But we got our own kind of food, our own music. Our own liquor! We got our own way of courting, and raising children! And our own way of living and dying. And to protect all that, we have got to say "No, thank you" to Miss Carol Johnson here and Black Pike Mining. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol Johnson''': My heart's still pounding.

Now, I'm not taking the blame, mind you. Coover had plenty of time to straighten himself out. And you did save Loretta. Saved me from living out my days with her blood on me. I'm not sure it makes us exactly even, but I made a deal with your Aunt Helen to keep the lid on, and I intend to honor it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doyle Bennett''': If the police chief wants to kill a guy, he ain't got to send anyone. He just waits for the guy to show up on his turf, and he rolls up on him with a bunch of his police officers. You know, that way, he can make it look like the guy died resisting arrest. Or if that don't fly, well, hell, he could just, uh, disappear the body down an old, boarded-up mine shaft. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gary Hawkins''': Duffy is crazy. I think you need to call for some backup. :'''Raylan Givens''': We ain't calling anybody. :'''Gary Hawkins''': Why not? :'''Raylan Givens''': 'Cause all they'll do is try to arrest him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': So, are we finished? :'''Raylan Givens''': As long as you understand that the next time we have this conversation, it won't be a conversation. === ''Reckoning'' [2.12] === :'''Mags Bennett''': I had every intention of living a simple life. Raising my boys, keeping house... then Pervis got killed, and I accepted this role, did what I had to do for my family. I may not have lived the life I wanted, but I'll be damned if my grandchildren are gonna live it the same way. I got Doyle's boys a path out of this holler, and nothing is more important to me than that. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mags meets Dickie at his safehouse with Doyle]'' :'''Mags Bennett''': Tell me it wasn't you. :''[Dickie doesn't respond.

I love you, and I always tried to do what you wanted, but ever since Coover you just ain't been thinking right. :'''Mags Bennett''': I am still the head of this family. :'''Dickie Bennett''': Yeah, and why is it, Mama, that the head of this family gave away this family's territory... to Boyd Crowder, no less? :'''Mags Bennett''': Boy, you don't know what you talking about. :'''Dickie Bennett''': What I know is Boyd Crowder robbed us point blank at the shed, and Arlo helped him. What I know is Boyd ran off Rodney, told him ''he'' was the swinging dick around these parts! ''You'', you gave Boyd an inch, he took a country mile. That's what I know. :'''Mags Bennett''': If you had a problem, you should have come to me, ''like always.'' :'''Dickie Bennett''': Even after you disowned me? No, I don't think so. You know, you can just go off. Go make all your big future plans, Mama. Go on, get Doyle and his tads their seat in future land, tomorrow land. I'll tell you what, I am living in the here and now, in Harlan County, and I ain't about to sit by and watch while a Crowder takes and takes and takes what's ours! :'''Doyle Bennett''': You need to watch yourself, boy. :'''Dickie Bennett''': It's my turn now. :'''Mags Bennett''': You want to be in charge? Is that what this is about? :'''Dickie Bennett''': I want... what's coming to me. :'''Mags Bennett''': Okay, Mr. President. :'''Dickie Bennett''': I want what's coming to me! :'''Mags Bennett''': Helen is dead. Everyone know that you're to blame. Raylan's already been at the store, what are you gonna do when he catches up to you? :'''Dickie Bennett''': That ain't gonna happen. We're gonna throw Raylan off that scent, give him a damn good reason to stand down. :'''Doyle Bennett''': Yeah? How's that? :'''Dickie Bennett''': Jed's gonna get himself killed resisting arrest. :'''Doyle Bennett''': ...Goddamn. You gonna ask that of me after everything I done for you? :'''Dickie Bennett''': I'm gonna tell you where he hides his share of the money. You find that and his shotgun, and you match his blood with the drops I made sure to leave at the scene... there you have it. :'''Mags Bennett''': Dickie, I swear - your actions jeopardize my plans in anyway, I will let you swing for it. :'''Dickie Bennett''': By which I believe you mean, "that's a damn good plan you got there, my darling son!" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Give me one reason why I shouldn't come up there and kick the living shit out of you. :'''Boyd Crowder''': I'll give you 15 reasons in the mag, and one in the chamber. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': We can draw him out. :'''Raylan Givens''': How would we do that? Take you to the middle of town, tie you to a tree, and wait? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dickie Bennett''': I said I said, you don't you have to do this, Raylan! :'''Raylan Givens''': Of course I do. This is who we are, Dickie. This is who we've always been. Givens, Bennetts going on what? Nearly a hundred years now. And this is how it ends. It can just end. === ''Bloody Harlan'' [2.13] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': Are you asking me or are you telling me? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Well, if it makes you feel better, you can tell people I asked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Doyle, I need you and your boys to put your guns down. :'''Doyle Bennett''': And why would we do that? :'''Raylan Givens''': Maybe you don't wanna see your brother's brains fly through the air. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': Assume the position... NOW. Do you dumb-ass peckerwoods understand English? On the ground, hillbillies! NOW! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You pull that trigger, your life is gonna change. And not for the better. Now, I want you to ask yourself what your daddy would want you to do. :'''Loretta McCready''': I want him here to tell me. :'''Raylan Givens''': Killing Mags ain't gonna bring him back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Mags? What did you do? :'''Mags Bennett''': Same thing I did to Loretta's daddy. It's too late. It was already in the glass, not in the jar. ''[starts to convulse]'' This is the hard part. Put an end to my troubles. Get to see my boys again. Get to know the mystery. :''[Mags dies]'' == Season 3 == === ''The Gun Fighter'' [3.01] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Boyd, I've been to Mexico, I don't think you'd like it. :'''Boyd Crowder''': How so? :'''Raylan Givens''': There's a lot of Mexicans. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Raylan, if a book could only be judged by its cover, you'd be a best seller. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Derek "Devil" Lennox''': You want to keep buying quality bud, you gonna have to take all this off our hands. :'''Ava Crowder''': Devil! :'''Derek "Devil" Lennox''': Stay out of this! :'''Rodney "Hot-Rod" Dunham''': Pull your head out of your ass, son. This is serious weight, and these are dangerous times. Now, you want this to get ugly? It can! :'''Ava Crowder''': Of course that's not what we want, Mr. Dunham. We appreciate you coming by. :'''Rodney "Hot-Rod" Dunham''': You're lucky I was already in Knoxville. If I'd come eight hours from Memphis for this, I'd be obliged to kick somebody's ass! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fletcher Nix''': ''[to Delmar Coates]'' Now, I don't like wearing a mask. I'm too pretty. So I am gonna have to kill you. But I'll tell you what, there's this game I like to play. I'm gonna put this gun between us and have the pizza man count it down from 10. When he gets to 1, we both go for it, so you got the same chance I got. That sounds fair, right? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': As a matter of fact, as I recall, last time we met, you told me the next conversation we had "wasn't gonna be a conversation". :'''Raylan Givens''': This is a different conversation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fletcher Nix''': I like your hat. There much call for cowboys these days? :'''Raylan Givens''': You would be surprised. === ''Cut Ties'' [3.02] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well now, Raylan, you're talking to a man who's sleeping with his dead brother's widow and murderess, so if you're looking for someone to cast stones at you on this matter, I think you've picked the wrong sinner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': It bears a striking resemblance to the creature from "Alien". :'''Winona Hawkins''': It's 6 weeks old, Raylan. :'''Raylan Givens''': All right.

You know, whack! But people don't even have phone books anymore. We still used to tell people, "you have the right to remain silent as long as you can stand the pain". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': Bernard, did you ever hear me argue with your dad about the best way to train a dog? There was a time I thought that, uh, pain was the only thing a dog remembers. But it was your daddy who taught me a dog also remembers when you elect not to hurt him. And if you can get your dog to not just remember, but to learn from the not hurting, then he's yours for life. But some dogs, though, they take you not giving them the hurt that they deserve as weakness. And after that first pass, well, they can't ever be taught. You got no choice but to put that dog down. You ever see what happens when you put too much lye in the scalding water? Well, it burns off the hair and the hog's skin besides. Now, I'm gonna give you a choice, Bernard. I can pour some of this here on the back of your hand, see, turn the heat on the pressure hose up near boiling, and then we'll take this hand, and we stick it in under the stream till I decide we square. Then we take your hand out, pour on some vinegar, and hope that lye hasn't eaten down to the bone. Or you promise me that you will never fail me again in any capacity, and we can all go on back about our evening. Now, before you choose, I'm gonna tell you what. That first way hurt like nothing that you ain't ever felt, but it'll square us. Second way doesn't hurt, but it'll mean next time you screw up, I'll have to take that as a sign that you don't respect me anymore. Now, can I assume from your face that you're choosing door number two? === ''Harlan Roulette'' [3.03] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': These boots aren't made for running. :'''Art Mullan''': And yet chasing fugitives is a marshal's primary function. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Glen Fogle''': Pull it again. :'''JT''': That's not how Russian Roulette works. :'''Glen Fogle''': You're not playing Russian Roulette dumb shit, you're playing Harlan Roulette! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Glen Fogle''': ''[after JT survives Fogle's game of 'Harlan Roulette']'' Maybe it's just your lucky day, son.

Was I not entitled to that, after everything that we've been through? I know how much it hurts. I've been right where you are, laid out on the ground and holding my chest, looking up at the ceiling, trying to find my breath. Devil, I was lucky I made it back. Son, you ain't gonna make it back. You want some help with the pain? You close your eyes, son. === ''Thick as Mud'' [3.05] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Well, maybe Lawrence Nightingale really did take him prisoner.

My father was a heroin addict. ''(gets up)'' He wasn't necessarily an evil man, but he couldn't kick his addiction, couldn't hold a job, either.

But then I got to thinking, I'd still have to worry about incurring your wrath. :'''Raylan Givens''': I'm sorry, my wrath? Uh, you don't need to worry about that. You guys can take each other out. :'''Robert Quarles''': And your father? :'''Raylan Givens''': Sure, him too. Take 'em both out. :'''Robert Quarles''': And that's why you are the way you are, Raylan. 'Cause your daddy's a criminal. :'''Raylan Givens''': That's it, your two minutes are up. :'''Robert Quarles''': I understand you've been snooping around about my friend, Brady Hughes. :'''Raylan Givens''': Brady Hughes? Who's that, that the street kid you killed? :'''Robert Quarles''': ''(gets up)'' You know, I decided upon something tonight, Jim Bob. :'''Raylan Givens''': Did you? :'''Robert Quarles''': I did... but I wanted to come down here and talk to you myself, right out of the horse's mouth. :'''Raylan Givens''': I'm sure that wasn't necessary- :''' Robert Quarles''': I'm gonna ''kill'' you, Raylan. Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, but some day you'll be walking down the street and I'm gonna put a bullet right in the back of your skull and you're gonna drop. :''[Raylan draws his gun and fires it into the ceiling.]'' :''' Raylan Givens''': US Marshal! I want everyone out of the building, right now! Get your stuff and get out! ''(Quarles laughs)'' Why wait? :'''Wynn Duffy''': Okay, you had your fun. Let's go- :'''Robert Quarles''': I'm not going anywhere. Neither are you. So how long do you think it'll take before the cops get here? :'''Raylan Givens''': Mmm, they may not even come. I did show my badge. :'''Robert Quarles''': And how do we do this? :'''Raylan Givens''': You draw. I put you down. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robert Quarles''': And people will conspire to keep you down. You will reach for the edge, and they will lean the heels of their boots on your fingers. And you just keep fighting, and scratching and pulling, and just when you think you've reached the top of the mountain, they changed the rules. Then you have to start from the beginning, so what do you do? I know what you don't do, you don't quit. You don't run. You don't stick that gun in the back of your throat. You realize that you were wrong, you were wrong in thinking that you had already won. You claw your way back into the fight. True victory... is when you crush your opponent so completely that he realizes that he was wrong in opposing you from the beginning. And you stand atop of the mountain. === ''Measures'' [3.11] === :'''Robert Quarles''': You know, you disappoint me, Wynn. Word around the Detroit campfire is that you were a wild man. Comes to a little nut-cutting, suddenly you want to bitch out. Don't be like the rest of them. You can't have the "Duffy" without the "Wynn". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Longbaugh''': This is a katana. My granddad pulled this off a dead jap officer at Shuri castle, Okinawa! :'''Robert Quarles''': The greatest generation at work. :'''Longbaugh''': He was a lying old sack of shit. Probably just bought it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Art, I've got a daddy. :'''Art Mullan''': Yeah, I've met your daddy. :'''Raylan Givens''': Fair enough, continue. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sarno''': You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you sent us there expecting him to take care of us. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Or you'd take care of him, have to go on the run either way. :''[Sarno's associate moves to raise his gun; Sarno stops him]'' :'''Sarno''': Whoa. A man doesn't talk like that unless he's holding the nuts. :''[Duffy lifts his gun from under the table]'' :'''Sarno''': Ah. :'''Wynn Duffy''': It's nothing personal. I just figured the more soldiers Quarles has down here, the more tenuous my position becomes. :'''Sarno''': Did you figure if you didn't put us together with him, we'd just go away? :'''Wynn Duffy''': I figured it would buy me some time to cut a deal help you in exchange for a guarantee that I don't get left out in the cold. :'''Sarno''': Hmm. Well, how about you help us in exchange for your lives? :'''Wynn Duffy''': That sounds a little odd coming from the guy not holding the gun. :'''Sarno''': Did you help Quarles because of the guns he had or because of who was behind him? Theo Tonin he carries this ear around in his pocket. :'''Wynn Duffy''': I'm sorry. It sounded like you said— :'''Sarno''': Yeah, yeah. It's a human ear. And, uh, whenever he wants to get some guy's attention, he just takes out the ear and he starts talking into it. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Hmm. What does he say? :'''Sarno''': I don't think it really matters. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sarno''': You know, there was a day when I would have said nobody could stealth me. :'''Art Mullan''': Yeah? What happened? Lose your edge or just realize you weren't that good to begin with? :'''Sarno''': Maybe a little of both. === ''Coalition'' [3.12] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You really think this is gonna go down? :'''Tom Bergen''': I hope so, because if I'm missing my boy's tee ball game for nothing I'm gonna be pissed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Are you sure you're alright with this? :'''Ava Crowder''': $3.2 million. I might find a way to get right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': The point is, Mr. Crowder, when he asks me, and he will, where Robert Quarles is, does Theo Tonin sound like the kind of man to whom you'd like to say, "I'm sorry, but he escaped from a disease-ridden whore factory up in inbred holler"?! :'''Boyd Crowder''': I'm gonna let that one go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': Now it's funny how that money bring together all them wayward personalities. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': Are you smoking Oxycontin in my motor coach? :'''Robert Quarles''': I most certainly am. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Do that in your own vehicle. :'''Robert Quarles''': My car's not that comfortable. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Robert. Limehouse told you where to wait. Go wait there. :'''Robert Quarles''': Is daddy getting mad? :'''Wynn Duffy''': For once in your life, do what has been asked of you. === ''Slaughterhouse'' [3.13] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You remember the pawn-shop owner you sent after me, Glen Fogle? :'''Wynn Duffy''': God rest his soul. :'''Raylan Givens''': Had a little game he liked to play with his flunkies. Are you familiar? :'''Wynn Duffy''': Uh, remind me? :'''Raylan Givens''': I ask you a question. You answer truthfully, or I pull the trigger. You understand? :'''Wynn Duffy''': It seems simple enough. :'''Raylan Givens''': You have any questions? :'''Wynn Duffy''': What are you doing? :'''Raylan Givens''': Is that your question? :'''Wynn Duffy''': You think you can make me talk? :'''Raylan Givens''': That's your choice. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Or you're gonna shoot me? :'''Raylan Givens''': There's a five out of six chance I won't. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Bullshit. :'''Raylan Givens''': Where's Quarles? :'''Wynn Duffy''': Kiss my ass. :''[Raylan aims at Duffy and pulls the trigger. The gun doesn't fire.'' :'''Wynn Duffy''': '''''Jesus!''''' ''Christ!'' There are cops outside! :'''Raylan Givens''': That's right. They're outside. :'''Wynn Duffy''': ''You're'' a cop! :'''Raylan Givens''': Deputy U.S. Marshal. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Raylan, you just can't come in here and ''shoot me'' because you- y- you '''''feel like it!''''' :'''Raylan Givens''': Why not? Isn't that the way you guys do it? Isn't that why ''Tom Bergen's dead'' while his wife and children are grieving? So, you know what? Now we're gonna play by your rules. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Raylan— :'''Raylan Givens''': Where's Quarles? :'''Wynn Duffy''': I don't know! :''[Raylan pulls the trigger again]'' :'''Wynn Duffy''': Jesus! Stop it! What is ''wrong'' with you?! :'''Raylan Givens''': You want me to stop, tell me the truth. :'''Wynn Duffy''': How can I tell you what I don't know? :'''Raylan Givens''': Start with telling me what you do know. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Okay. Just give me a minute. :'''Raylan Givens''': No. :''[Raylan raises his gun again]'' :'''Wynn Duffy''': Hey! Hey! Hey! Okay! What do I know?! What do I know?! I know that, uh I know that Limehouse set this all up! I know that Quarles likes young boys. Who do you think called in the Brady Hughes tip? Me! I know that he wants you dead, and he probably wants me dead, too. And, yes, I tried to blow him up in his car! And then I drove away! That's what I know! :'''Raylan Givens''': That's it? :'''Wynn Duffy''': That is all I know! :'''Raylan Givens''': You don't know where he is? :'''Wynn Duffy''': I don't know where he is! :'''Raylan Givens''': Okay. I believe you. :''[Raylan leaves]'' :'''Wynn Duffy''': ''Jesus Christ!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': ''[to Boyd]'' You're not as dumb as you look. I like the use of the word cahoots, though. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[about Limehouse]'' A horsefly sneezes in these hills, he knows about it beforehand, but I'm to believe the car bomb and the dead trooper down the road comes as news. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well I guess we best both sleep with one eye open. :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': I always do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I guess Art thought what Arlo had done upset me in some way. Could really only be expected; Arlo's a criminal, never been anything else. Art offered me a drink. I didn't need it but I took it anyway... then Boyd got his release. I asked if he was proud, letting a feeble old man take the fall for him - didn't seem to bother him none, one way or the other. He just walked out of there, happy as a preacher on Sunday. :'''Winona Hawkins''': So then you came here, asking for another drink you don't need. :'''Raylan Givens''': You sure all your sister has is water? :'''Winona Hawkins''': I offered you milk and apple juice. :'''Raylan Givens''': Not even light beer? :'''Winona Hawkins''': Raylan, why are you here? :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, I told you when I came in. Was just... wondering how this was all gonna work out. So you're gonna stay here with your sister until the baby's born? :'''Winona Hawkins''': Mhm... is that it? :'''Raylan Givens''': I thought I might pat the belly, see the latest sonogram- :'''Winona Hawkins''': Tell me a story about a man getting his arm chopped off. :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[about Quarles]'' You know what they're saying at the office? I dis-armed him. :'''Winona Hawkins''': 'S pretty good. :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, uh, it's getting late, I should go. I'll let you get back to sleep. Apologize to your sister for me. :'''Winona Hawkins''': I will. Hey, Raylan? Only thing I didn't understand... why- why did Art think you'd be upset? :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, I think it was why Arlo shot Bergen. :'''Winona Hawkins''': Which was? :'''Raylan Givens''': He didn't know he was a state trooper. Just saw a man in a hat, pointing a gun at Boyd. == Season 4 == === ''Hole in the Wall'' [4.01] === :'''Jody Adair''': You think this is the first time I had a gun pointed at me? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': No... could be your last though. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You know what your problem is? You got no self-awareness. You think trying to do right by your children excuses everything, even killing men. :'''Jody Adair''': They were heroin dealers. If they'd just give up their money, none of this would have happened. :'''Raylan Givens''': Any problem, that's someone else's fault. You ever hear of the saying, "You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, ''you're'' the asshole"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': No one ever said runnin' a criminal enterprise was gonna be this hard, huh? :'''Ava Crowder''': They left that part out on career day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jody Adair''': ''[to Roz]'' Shoot him. :'''Raylan Givens''': Jesus girl, you just showed me your tits 45 minutes ago. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Billy St. Cyr''': Oh, hallelujah! But what you want to know is, do I get bit? Well, am I right? Right. Yes, I do. Now, only twice so far, hallelujah. By this one right here I call Mabel. Now, once, I took her out of her crate too rough, I deserved it. The other time, well, the lord only knows. Both times I survived the venom. It was the lord who saw fit to have me continue my ministry. Now, of course, not all survive. Our daddy and his before died from the serpent's bite, their place in heaven guaranteed, there being no greater sign of obedience to the lord than to be taken home in such a manner. So, that's why we're here. Why are ''you'' here, newcomers? You all come to watch the hillbilly with the snakes? Or did you come to be ''saved?!'' === ''Where's Waldo?'' [4.02] === :'''Art Mullen''': You came here about the job, right? You need to hear about this. I got a young kid here, decorated sniper in Iraq War, Army Ranger, I don't know how many kills he had. Always lookin' to kill somebody else. Probably got PTSD. Probably an alcoholic. Not a matter if that powder keg is gonna blow but when. I got a lady marshall here. Brought in two of the top fifteen fugitives to this office, but she's always tryin' to prove herself. I thought she was gonna be the one that would take this office over when I got ready to retire, but now she's left her husband so it's gonna be fun to monitor her emotional state over the next year, see if she can keep it together. Then I got a local boy, born in Harlan county, been investigated so many times internal affairs has got him on speed dial. Father's in prison for murderin' two people, including a state trooper, and his daddy killed somebody else last night in prison and I get to be the one to tell him about it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': That mystery bag thing is giving me a bit of a Marshal stiffy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Randall Kusik''': I'll give you a free piece of advice.

Did somethin' happen? :'''Art Mullen''': No. :'''Raylan Givens''': So, what's the problem? :'''Art Mullen''': You're keeping addict hours, you come in late, you leave early, you're haggard. It's like the baby's already been born. :'''Raylan Givens''': I don't know what you're talkin' about. :'''Art Mullen''': Tim? :'''Tim Gutterson''': I'd rather not take sides. :'''Raylan Givens''': Thank you. :'''Art Mullen''': Well would you rather do morning prisoner transports for the next six months? :'''Tim Gutterson''': You do seem a little tired. :'''Art Mullen''': No shit! The question is why? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Smart money in the office pool's on exotic dancin'. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': I would like to be your distributor of heroin in Harlan county. Now, I figure we split it right down the middle. You and me, we could both make out pretty well. :'''Wynn Duffy''': But even if I were looking for a partner—which I'm not, by the way—it would have to be someone I could trust. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, you can trust me! :'''Wynn Duffy''': But I don't even trust the way you just now said I could trust you. === ''Truth and Consequences'' [4.03] === :'''Cassie St. Cyr''': I know why you keep misjudging us. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Do tell. :'''Cassie St. Cyr''': Unlike the rest of these sorry souls around here we're not afraid of you. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, in that case, ma'am, I think we've misjudged each other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Randall Kusik''': You read what I did to the last old boy tried to make time with my wife? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Skimmed it. Something about a coma. :'''Randall Kusik''': No, I marked him. Now, anytime anybody sees that little greaser gimp around, hears the punch-drunk way that he talks, what they're seeing and hearing is me. :'''Raylan Givens''': Hmm. :'''Randall Kusik''': What I made him. So how about at 6:00 this P.M, I put a little limp in that [[w:Gary Cooper|Gary Cooper]] walk, write my name all over that pretty face of yours? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': ''[to Raylan]'' Admit it. You're getting a little bit of a marshal stiffy yourself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': If my stiffy lasts much longer I'm going to have to consult my physician. What's your opinion? :'''Raylan Givens''': On your stiffy? I don't have one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mason Goines''': You don't worry about how long you're gonna live. You worry about how slow you're gonna die. === ''The Bird Has Flown'' [4.04] === :'''Rachel Brooks''': Are you going to tell me how much money it was or not? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': I did... it's a goodly sum. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alvin''': Any fool that didn't see that grifter Barbie coming a mile off deserves getting his ass fleeced. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lindsey Salazar''': How's that song go?

What the hell kind of a question is that? :'''Nicky Augustine''': Uh, fair. :'''Jeremy Barkley''': I mean, I've always been protecting you. I mean, we're friends. :'''Nicky Augustine''': We are. But I heard the FBI doesn't even have the case anymore.

Some kind of lounge singer? :'''Jackie Nevada''': Card player. Taught me some tricks. Sometimes we get in games together. :'''Raylan Givens''': Sounds like you had quite an upbringing. :'''Jackie Nevada''': He did okay. Best he could without my mom. I did see pictures of her posing nude in the backyard once, Reno left on the dresser. :'''Raylan Givens''': But you never saw your own mother? :'''Jackie Nevada''': Lots of people haven't seen their moms or their dads. :'''Raylan Givens''': Yet others do as much as they can to avoid them. :'''Jackie Nevada''': You just showed your cards. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jody Adair''': That's how I see the world.

Just lie there and wait me out. Doc says you've been in and out and there's a chance you'd sleep all the time I was here, but we both know you're too mean to go that easy, so come on. Give me something. I ain't asking for an apology. Hell, that'd take too long, and I don't want any fatherly advice. Figure if you had any worth giving, you wouldn't be circling the drain in a prison infirmary. Just give me something. Who's Drew Thompson? Not for me, for your grandkids.

I'm sorry, we haven't met; I'm deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens. :'''Officer''': Well, all due respect— :'''Raylan Givens''': 'K, just, hold up.

Now as acrimonious as our relationship has been lately, Raylan, Ava and I discussed it and you still gon' be on the guest list. :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[to Ava]'' You know the definition of crazy, right? ''[Ava shakes her head]'' Keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to come out different.

Holy shit! :'''Nelson Dunlop''': He said it was a late birthday present. :'''Art Mullen''': Arlo Givens' body not even cold on the slab, and you let Raylan drive off into the sunset with his killer! Have you lost your mind?! Where is he? Tell me he's in Leoville, dropping off the prisoner like a good boy. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Not unless they moved it to Harlan, 'cause transponder's got him around Baxter. :'''Art Mullen''': God damn it. God damn it! :'''Nelson Dunlop''': You want me to go up and get him? :'''Art Mullen''': I want you to sit your ass down and get used to purging case files until I figure out how to like you again! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': This prisoner is one Hunter Mosley.

So I figure, Dixie mafia has got a history with Arlo and Drew. Why not put the two of you together and see what shakes out? :'''Wynn Duffy''': I'm sorry. Wait. Are you saying Arlo is dead? :'''Raylan Givens''': You don't seem happy. I figured, if you ordered the hit, we'd all be drinking Wild Turkey by now. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Deputy Marshal, I am truly sorry for your loss, but you have to understand... I had no idea. :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[beat]'' Thank you, Wynn.

Why don't you start from the beginning? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hunter Mosley''': Raylan, you listen to what your mama taught you and not that old son-of-bitch you may turn out all right. But I wouldn't count on it, 'cause we both know whose voice it is that makes you do what you do. === ''Get Drew'' [4.10] === :'''Art Mullan''': First thing we're gonna do is we're gonna acknowledge that this guy is awesome. :'''Rachel Brooks''': What? :'''Art Mullan''': I mean, he shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an airplane while he's flying it, parachutes into Harlan county with enough coke and cash to jumpstart the economy of small country, and then he has the balls to get a job in law enforcement, not once, but two times! He spends a couple days riding around with you while you're looking for him, and now he's run off with a hooker half his age. That's some badass shit. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': It's pretty badass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Johnny Crowder''': Boyd doesn't give a damn about nothing. Never did. When we was kids, he'd build half a tree house, and then he'd run off and go build a go-kart. And then he'd forget them both and spend the whole rest of the summer stealing candy and trading it for cigarettes. :'''Raylan Givens''': I'll take your word for it. I just dug coal with the man. :'''Johnny Crowder''': And he gets back from the war, and he finds Jesus. And he receives his ordination through the mail from one of them Bible colleges down in South Carolina or some shit, making us all learn the ways of white supremacy, as it was laid down by the Lord almighty. Then he goes on and on and on about white flight and all that shit. You know what that is? :'''Raylan Givens''': Mm-hmm. People moving out of town? :'''Johnny Crowder''': White people moving to the suburbs. :'''Rachel Brooks''': 'Cause they want to cut grass and have barbecues? :'''Johnny Crowder''': Shit, no. 'Cause they want to get away from black people like you and all the greasers and the asiatics and all the goddamn Mexicans running around infecting the place. But, you know, these are Boyd's words. :'''Raylan Givens''': Johnny. What's your point? :'''Johnny Crowder''': You know what he's doing now, Raylan? He's buying a house in the goddamn suburbs! Up there on Clover Hill, because the man is in love. :'''Rachel Brooks''': You sound like he stole your girlfriend. :'''Johnny Crowder''': Ha! No. He stole Raylan's girlfriend. He stole my job. Oh, but I did get this as a consolation prize for believing all of his bullshit. :'''Raylan Givens''': Thing is, Johnny, you didn't get cut in half from Bo's shotgun 'cause of Boyd. You got shot 'cause that's the shit that happens when you choose to live a life as a small-time asshole. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': ''[to Raylan]'' You shoulda been on the other side, with me and your daddy. You'd still be able to shoot people, and be an asshole... your two favorite activities. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': You ever been on a plane, Mr. Crowder? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Why? You plan on taking flying lessons with my money? :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': I've been having this dream. I dream that I'm flyin' this plane. I mean one of them great, big, old suckers. A jumbo jet. And all the passengers is folks from Noble's Holler. Damn near everybody I know and care about's on this thing. I'm at the controls when all of a sudden, something goes terribly wrong. Lights is flashing, buzzers sounding. And we start going down. And I'm fighting to keep it level, and it ain't no use. And I always wake up just before impact, sweating. :'''Boyd Crowder''': While I believe I understand your subtle metaphor, what I don't understand is why you feel the need to tell me. :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': Well I'm telling you so you understand why I'm about to do what I'm about to do. <hr width='50%'> :'''Raylan Givens''': Theo Tonin knows we got Drew. He's not gonna be too happy about that. Meaning we just got to figure out how to get out of Harlan alive. === ''Decoy'' [4.11] === :'''Nicky Augustine''': Look at you, Mr. Crowder. You're a well dressed man, you got a sense of style, you got your shirt buttoned all the way up to the top. I gotta ask where'd you get all those teeth? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Courtesy of the American taxpayer while serving our great nation in Desert Storm. :'''Nicky Augustine''': Man, I love the way you talk, using forty words when four will do. I'm curious. What would you say if I was about to put forty bullets through that beautiful vest of yours? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': ''[Tim slams on the breaks]'' What the hell?! What are you doing? :'''Tim Gutterson''': It's not right. :'''Art Mullen''': What's not right? :'''Tim Gutterson''': One abandoned car beside the road's no big deal, but two so close together, that's weird. :'''Art Mullen''': That's Kentucky. :'''Tim Gutterson''': How bout a third? ''[points to another up the road]'' :'''Art Mullen''': What are you thinking? IEDs? :'''Tim Gutterson''': I'm not thinking confetti canons. :'''Art Mullen''': Are you sure about this? :'''Tim Gutterson''': For all I know I'm just having a full-blown PTSD episode. :'''Art Mullen''': You get those a lot? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Only when I'm handling firearms in public. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tim Gutterson''': ''[calling Colt realizing he's put IEDs in cars to ambush his team]'' Am I right in saying that you were in the sandbox before Afghanistan? :'''Colton Rhodes''': I am a double winner. Is that why you called, to ask me that? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Oh, why? You busy? :'''Colton Rhodes''': I am in the middle of something. :'''Tim Gutterson''': All right, I'll make it quick. I'm writing a book set in Iraq. There's a chapter where a convey of military police is transporting a criminal, and Lieutenant Dan, he's our main guy, he gets a bad feeling— :'''Colton Rhodes''': ''[[Forrest Gump]]''. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Huh? :'''Colton Rhodes''': There's a Lieutenant Dan in ''Forrest Gump''. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Oh shit, you're right. I'll change it. Lieutenant Colt. :'''Colton Rhodes''': I would like a young [[w:Gérard Depardieu|Gérard Depardieu]] to play me in the movie. I'm honored. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Well you should be, he's a big guy, a real badass, or he was, he's kind of losing his grip when we meet him, he's lost someone, he's started using dope that he confiscated. :'''Colton Rhodes''': Yeah but then we find out he's kicked again, and anyone who thinks he's in anyway diminished is in for a big surprise. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Yeah, but he's the kind of character might say he's kicked but we all know he's just one broken shoelace away from sayin' "screw it" and picking up again. :'''Colton Rhodes''': How about you have him go into a bar and pick a fight with some rangers and he send a couple of them to the hospital? :'''Tim Gutterson''': It's not a fantasy. Anyway, he gets a bad feeling when they pass an abandoned vehicle, sees a second and a third, so he's thinking IEDs triggered by cell. You ever come across anything like that? :'''Colton Rhodes''': Me, personally? No. But I did hear about this one convoy, couple of Frankensteins and a gun truck on Highway 10. So, the spotter, he calls a halt between the first two cars thinking the Hajis will blow the second if it moves forward, and the first if it tries to go back. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Well, how'd they get out of it? :'''Colton Rhodes''': Yeah, they didn't. Because they were too afraid to move, they just sat there in their vehicles, pssing and shitting in their helmets, too afraid to toss it out the windows on account of possible snipers. Then they ran out of food. They started eating each other till there was only one left, and he blew his brains out. Do you want to know the sad part? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Oh, there's a sad part? :'''Colton Rhodes''': Yeah. Because they were so afraid to move, they never found out whether or not the cars had explosives. So basically, they all died from being pussies. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicky Augustine''': ''[to Ava]'' Why are you talking? Huh? Oh, you don't like that question? Let me ask you another. How many dicks you got to suck to get to the top of the food chain around here? It's got to be a ton of dicks. It's got to be, like, morning, noon, and night. Like, ever since you were 14. It's got to be like, the alarm goes off, "I'm sucking dick. Where's another dick I can suck?" Dick, dick, dick. Go to bed, suck a dick. Dicks, dicks, dicks. It's got to be a ton. I mean, a small-time, blond girl like you, looking for a better life? Plenty of girls like you, but what sets you apart? Extraordinary vacuuming skills. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nicky Augustine''': ''[to Ava]'' You really love Boyd, don't you? That ring he got you, where'd he get it from, one of those claw machines at Denny's? He must be good at that machine, 'cause it's hard to get something, you know. === ''Peace of Mind'' [4.12] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Did you not wake up this morning thinking this was another opportunity to mess up some bad guy's day? I did. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Winona Hawkins''': ''[wanting Raylan to sign paperwork for their baby]'' It's kind of important that you get it done before she's born. :'''Raylan Givens''': Yes. Listen, it's gonna be the first thing I do— What did you just say? ''[the office breaks out in applause]'' :'''Winona Hawkins''': We're having a girl, Raylan. I found out this morning. :'''Raylan Givens''': A girl. Holy shit. Hold on. ''[office continues to clap for him]'' Thank you. I'm on the phone. Seriously. ''[back to Winona]'' Winona, I don't know shit about girls. :'''Winona Hawkins''': That is so sweet, sayin' it like I don't already know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': What's the matter with you, Raylan? Not used to positive attention? :'''Raylan Givens''': No, I loved that. Can we continue? :'''Tim Gutterson''': No, the moment's gone. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Colton Rhodes''': ''[lighting a cigarette]'' Gonna quit tomorrow. :'''Tim Gutterson''': What do you think you're doing? :'''Colton Rhodes''': I'm smoking. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Did you kill my friend? :'''Colton Rhodes''': You know what it's like to be in the shit. Go back there enough times, and bad things happen. :'''Tim Gutterson''': So, you did kill him? :'''Colton Rhodes''': Collateral damage. I'm sorry about what happened to your friend Mark, but I think most of him died somewhere in Kandahar. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Only part I'm concerned about is the one that died here. Last time I'm telling you. Put your weapon on the ground. :'''Colton Rhodes''': ''[Colt exhales his cigarette smoke]'' I guess I'll quit today. :''[Colt raises his gun; Tim shoots him in the chest]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': I believe you dictate the river of fate through your own actions. === ''Ghosts'' [4.13] === :'''Ethan Picker''': So, out of nowhere, Crowder calls and says he's bringing the marshal, and you just drop everything to play ''[[High Noon]]''. You want to explain to me how this makes any sense? :'''Nicky Augustine''': All the shit I've heard about this guy, there's no way I'm saying no to a face-to-face. Plus, maybe he wants to cut a deal. :'''Ethan Picker''': I doubt that. :'''Nicky Augustine''': Well, we'll know shortly. :'''Ethan Picker''': You're not even a little worried he's trying to set us up, maybe even bust me for that shit at the high school? :'''Nicky Augustine''': I might be worried if Crowder wasn't bringing him here. :'''Ethan Picker''': What? You trust Crowder? :'''Nicky Augustine''': I trust him not to hand us up to the feds, yeah. :'''Ethan Picker''': You know, Sammy's already pissed we went after the ex-wife. He wants us to come home now and kiss his new ring. You think it's smart to keep him waiting? :'''Nicky Augustine''': Sammy is a rat-faced bitch boy. :'''Ethan Picker''': He's Theo Tonin's rat-faced bitch boy! :'''Nicky Augustine''': We wouldn't even be having this conversation if you'd popped the marshal in the first place. :'''Ethan Picker''': ''[chuckles bitterly]'' Christ. :'''Nicky Augustine''': But instead you let him back you down. :'''Ethan Picker''': He didn't back me down. The cops pulled up. :'''Nicky Augustine''': Well, all I know is, if I'd have been there, he'd never walked out. :'''Ethan Picker''': Oh. And that would have been ''pointless'', Nicky. It would have just drawn heat, as usual. :'''Nicky Augustine''': You think too much. Pay the check. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Now that you mention it, though, I'm not sure you're one to talk about going straight at a man 'stead of what he loves. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You love her, huh? Ava? :'''Boyd Crowder''': You have to ask? :'''Raylan Givens''': Love her like how? Like how you loved the Lord and your lovely white skin or how you loved Arlo? I know he meant a lot to you. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You know... ''[sighs]'' ...You can know a fella your whole life and not really know him at all. You know what I think, Raylan? I think you're just jealous that I've got to open a present that will never be under your Christmas tree. :'''Raylan Givens''': I think you love anything lets you put your head on the pillow at night believin' you ain't the bad guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Boyd Crowder''': I count four to one. That hardly seems fair. :'''Raylan Givens''': Which way do you mean? <hr width="50%"> :'''Ethan Picker''': Higher up the mountain, worse the footing gets. :'''Raylan Givens''': Plane crashes, first class always hits the hardest. :'''Ethan Picker''': I learned one thing a long time ago: doesn't pay to be the lead dog. <hr width="50%"> :'''Raylan Givens''': What are you carrying? :'''Nicky Augustine''': Oh, I don't have a gun. :'''Raylan Givens''': Maybe you should get one. :'''Nicky Augustine''': Why? So you can have a reason? :'''Raylan Givens''': You already gave me a reason. :'''Nicky Augustine''': Bullshit. Take one look at you, I know you're not the kind of guy who'd just execute me. It's not who you are. Then you come in here with your bullshit cop threats, knowing that if your bluff gets called, you can always hide behind your badge. I don't have a badge. All I got is my word. So if I say I'm gonna kill your family, I'm gonna kill your family! 'Cause these animals out here, they think they can get over on me, they'll tear me to pieces. You want to know where I'm headed? I'm headed to Detroit to kill Theo's pasty little pussy of a son. But I'll be back for your family. You had a chance to save them this morning, but instead, you took out three of my guys. So the only chance they have now is if you use that Glock on me to end this. If you're not gonna do it, get the hell out of my car. == Season 5 == === ''A Murder of Crowes'' [5.01] === :'''Mike Reardon''': Mr. Crowe, a settlement offer of $20,000 has already been made. The U.S. attorney has modified it to three hundred. Do you accept that offer? :'''Dewey Crowe''': No, I do not! After what I've been through? My kidneys and everything? You telling me all I get is $300? :'''Mike Reardon''': $300,000, you nitwit. :''[Dewey sits down in stunned silence]'' :'''Mike Reardon''': I'll take that as a yes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wade Messer''': Well hey, Raylan. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Wade. :'''Wade Messer''': Can I get you a blowjob or something? :'''Raylan Givens''': Just some water. :'''Wade Messer''': I didn't mean me, of course. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scott Fenton''': The idea behind organized crime is that it's supposed to be organized.

And it is not a good sign. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You can come back here, and we'll take you in, or swim to Cuba. :'''Greg Sutter''': That old lady just did it.

Same like he did. No money makes it harder. :'''Raylan Givens''': Mm-hmm. Your daddy didn't die in his bed. He got drunk and flipped his airboat. You told me yourself, the day I took you to prison. === ''The Kids Aren't All Right'' [5.02] === :'''Charles Monroe''': You got any idea what that thing is worth? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': What, like 100 bucks? :'''Charles Monroe''': That's a third-model Colt Dragoon used by Confederate General William Mahone. :'''Raylan Givens''': So more than $100? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charles Monroe''': That's Manuela. She keeps the house. She also sautes up a mean iguana, if you're ever in the mood. :'''Manuela''': Is very tender. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': He screwed your daughter? :'''Raylan Givens''': My daughter's in diapers. :'''Jay''': Damn. That must be awfully upsetting, then, huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': First off, whatever transpired between you and those kids gets squashed. No vendetta, no debt. You tell me it's over, and it stays that way. :'''Rodney "Hot-Rod" Dunham''': Would you prefer that I respond point by point or should I wait till the end? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You get in the weed business with teenagers, and it's their fault when things go wrong? You the type of fella who walks under a flock of birds, and is surprised when he ends up with shit on his face? : :'''Raylan Givens''': Oh I learned a bit. When I was a boy Arlo had this scam stealing mining equipment, shipping it south, trading it for cocaine. A couple of company men got wind of who was ripping them off and they went after Arlo and his crew. They shot up a couple spots including our house. They killed Caspar Johns. Wasn’t with the crew, was just living with us at the time and then this other fellow that Arlo had been  running with since high school. You get what I’m saying? Even before I went to Glencoe and trained to be a dead shot I seen people kill one another and I learned to be ready in case they came after me to do me harm. In other words I’ll kill four of you before you even clear your weapons and I’ll take my chances with the other two. And you see this star? That’s gonna make it legal.

Well, put your foot down, Dewey Crowe! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I hoped you were the kind of man who chooses not to live in the past. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Well, normally I am. It's just that, you know, try to kill me once, shame on you… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': You're protecting me from a situation that you created? :'''Raylan Givens''': I can see how'd you'd see it that way if you want to focus on the negative. ===''Over the Mountain'' [5.04]=== :'''Dewey Crowe''': God, I ain't prayed in a while. It's just, I...listen, I ain't fixing to die out here in the woods like some animal. You hear me? That's bullshit. Jesus, if you help me find him, once I kill him, I swear, I'll straighten up.

Now answer my question. :'''Ava Crowder''': I was thinking, aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey Crowe''': You can't keep me in here, Daryl. This is false imprisonment or some shit. :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': So, what, you gonna call the law on me? :'''Dewey Crowe''': Well, supposing I did, you son of a bitch, what then? All that shit you made me do, dragging Messer into the woods to kill him! Why'd you make me do that, huh? Why?! :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': You about done with your little hissy fit? Can we talk? :'''Dewey Crowe''': Why did you make me do that? :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': I'll tell you why. So I know you a damn Crowe. You're one of us. :'''Dewey Crowe''': I ain't one of you. :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': You ain't? So go on and run away like a full-blown bitch. Go ahead. But I'll tell you what—you get out in the world and take to running your mouth about your kin and all the bad shit we done, just remember which one of us pulled that trigger on Messer. Yeah, big man. That was all you, boy. All you. Or you can take the plunge, stay with family, be a part of what the Crowes are building here, reap the benefits of that good loyalty. :'''Dewey Crowe''': Sounds like you're selling me tires. :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': Nah, I'm selling you a life, Dewey Crowe. You just got to make a choice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': Marshal, you know good and well ain't nobody going nowhere. Matter of fact, we came up here to lay down roots. 'sides, if you had good enough reason to run us out of here, you'd have done it already.

They will spit venom when they speak your name. And they will take your suicide as the last pact of a coward.

Step outside, I'll give you a clip. :'''Art Mullen''': Now, that means that you must be, Mr. Picker, right? Ethan Picker. You have a rather noble profile, Mr. Picker. Is that due to your Greek heritage? :'''Ethan Picker''': I got my nose from a surgeon in Beverly Hills. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elias Marcos''': You know why I'm here. :'''Ethan Picker''': 'Cause you're a boot-licking errand boy? :'''Elias Marcos''': You talk to me like that because you know I'm not here to work.

Trafficking in weight, like you said you never would. What happened Wynn? Did you finally just get greedy? :'''Wynn Duffy''': ''[quietly]'' I don't know what happened. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dickie Bennett''': Alright, Raylan, alright, you win. You wanna find Dewey here's what you do. First of all go to a gas'n'go or whatever and get yourself a map of Kentucky. Follow route 9 southbound with your finger, follow it way way down until you're pointing right at... your asshole, and then what you gonna do is you're gonna take your hand and just go ahead and cram it right up inside. You gotta make sure, Raylan, that you do it in a way so that the rest of you just keeps on following your hand right up your ass, right up inside all that shit you're so full of, Raylan. And then what you gonna do is you're just gonna ''[whistles]'' wink out of existence forever. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan]]''': Proud of that one, aren't you? :'''Dickie Bennett''': ...It'll do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny Crowe''': I had this buddy that ran a puppy mill in Sarasota, and he got popped for a DUI. He asked me to take care of his puppies. And I found this, this litter of dead puppies. I guess the mom had died when she was giving birth and couldn't take care of the brood. But there was one puppy who was barely alive, and it was Chelsea. And I, I raised her up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': You know, I spend most of my time in the company of criminals. Now one could argue I'm guilty by association, but between me and you, I'm every bit as despicable as they are. === ''The Toll'' [5.11] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': Mr. Picker, the only explaining I've ever done in my life was to my Mama when she caught me sneaking in after my curfew. And you ain't my Mama. But I'll indulge you with a short answer to your question: Shit happens, Mr. Picker. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David Vasquez''': She tell you anything about why she was at Duffy's hotel suite? :'''Rachel Brooks''': ''[imitating Katherine's accent]'' "Visiting an old family friend. Is that a crime?" :'''David Vasquez''': Well, not compared to racketeering, conspiracy, and murder, no. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ethan Picker''': Our friends in Mexico are furious about the bullshit that happened in the desert— :'''Wynn Duffy''': I need you to be quiet. :'''Ethan Picker''': —they're this close to sending a goddamn hit squad up here. :'''Wynn Duffy''': I need you to stop. :'''Ethan Picker''': I say we put Boyd Crowder's head in a goddamn box! :'''Wynn Duffy''': ''[standing]'' ''Mr. Picker!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': I may not know a lot about a lot of things, but I do know how to blow shit up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': Just so I'm clear, you're not gonna kill me? 'Cause I was worried for a minute. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Oh, be worried. :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': Yeah? :'''Raylan Givens''': 'Cause that web of bullshit you spun around yourself to protect yourself? I'm gonna use it to strangle the life out of you and take away everything you got. Then you're gonna wish I'd have blacked you out—with a bullet to the head. :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': Well, this feels like one of those "time will tell" deals which, as a free man, I have plenty of. Question is: how much time you got? === ''Starvation'' [5.12] === :'''Wynn Duffy''': Alberto, was it? Alberto, I'm not one to niggle over management styles, but let's say you would have let me know you were coming, I would have preserved some proof for you. A head, say, or a set of teeth? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': My suite is being cleaned. The microwave exploded. :'''Rachel Brooks''': [[American Hustle (2013 film)|Someone put metal in the science oven?]] :'''Tim Gutterson''': I finally saw that. :'''Rachel Brooks''': What did you think? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Needs more [[w:Jason Statham|Jason Statham]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey Crowe''': I give you a gift, the anus is on you to take care of it, not just give it away to any old dick face happens along. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey Crowe''': This it then, Raylan? No final words, put Dewey Crowe in his place? :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': My advice? Stop talking about yourself in the third person. Makes you sound like a fool. :'''Dewey Crowe''': Third person? This guy? ''[indicating the driver]'' Man, I don't understand you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You said you'd help us get him. You didn't get him. So we'll be proceeding to convene a grand jury, bring charges against you as soon as possible. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Are you back to that file bullshit? :'''Raylan Givens''': Bullshit? :''[Raylan opens his desk and pulls out a thick file of papers.]'' :'''Raylan Givens''': There it is. Thick with the names of the suffering and the dead, and many felled by your own hands. A trail of human wreckage you've left rotting in jail cells and cold graves throughout this state. And why? Because they had the poor judgment to believe your lies and follow your tune. Well, it's high time that tune reached a shuddering crescendo. === ''Restitution'' [5.13] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Say, what's the first thing you ever killed? You're from Florida, right? :'''Kendal Crowe''': Gator, maybe. When I was 11. :'''Raylan Givens''': I was 11, too, or thereabouts. Wasn't a gator, though. Will Hendricks' pig got out of its pen, went feral, started tearing up my mama's vegetable patch. Arlo built the trap, caught it, gave me a gun, said, "get 'er done." You ever see a pig that's gone feral? Nasty. Tusks grow. They get dirty, ill-tempered. They don't look bad from a distance, but get up close, best watch your ass. You hook the gator before you...? :'''Kendal Crowe''': Danny hooked him. Wanted to do it himself, but Daryl said it was my time. :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, there you are, pointing that gun at something that's staring back at you, right? Longer I stood there, the less I wanted to do it. Not that I had a choice. Arlo'd tan my hide if I didn't. :'''Kendal Crowe''': Danny called me a pussy. :'''Raylan Givens''': Ain't about being a pussy, though, is it? No small thing, taking a life. Hell, my hand was shaking so bad, first shot nearly missed. Pig squealing, bucking, spraying blood. Put three more shots just to get it to lay still. I knew I should have felt good about it, but I didn't. Walked home, stepped through the front door, and threw up. That's when Arlo called me a pussy. He beat the shit out of me, too. Started thinking less about what I'd done to that pig and more—about what I'd like to do to Arlo. :'''Kendal Crowe''': Well, did you do it? :'''Raylan Givens''': Not as such. I always wondered, though, if I didn't join the Marshals just to prove something to him what a badass I was. Maybe just to spite him. He hated me being a lawman. And I knew. I knew when I joined that I might have to shoot someone in the line of duty. But first time it happened, god damn if it wasn't the same feeling sick to my stomach. Just kept asking myself if there was something I could have done different short of pulling my gun. What was it like for you? :'''Kendal Crowe''': What, the gator? It's a goddamn dinosaur. Who gives a shit? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Now, some folks say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth. Well, I promise those folks ain't never partied with Boyd Crowder in Sin City. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alberto Ruiz''': You have good hunting around here? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Not bad. My daddy used to take me and my brother when we was young, but I didn't much care for it. Prefer to hunt animals who have a chance to fight back. :'''Alberto Ruiz''': My father took me as well, to the Sonoran desert. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Ah. Hunting big game, like scorpions, and lizards and whatnot? :'''Alberto Ruiz''': Mostly bighorn sheep and mule deer. We'd spend the morning making our kills, take them back to our campsite, where my father taught me how to skin them. The first cut, you make right down the belly. Bleed the animal, remove the insides, careful not to puncture the bladder. Next, you remove the genitals. Now you are ready to the take the skin. Cut first at the ankle joints, snap the tendons, start to peel back the pelt. The trick is to remove it in one piece. It's easiest when the animal is still warm. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You want me shit my pants, Alberto? 'Cause it seems to me, that'd make your job a hell of a lot more unpleasant. You see, I know real pain. Shit you can't even imagine. Now, you want to put me out of my misery? How 'bout you stop running your goddamn mouth and do whatever it is you got to do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': You a dirty, rotten, nasty bitch. :'''Wendy Crowe''': Well, I guess we all get the family we deserve, right, Daryl? :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': You know good and well I ain't gonna let you walk up out of here with that, right? :'''Wendy Crowe''': What are you gonna do, kill me? :'''Daryl Crowe Jr.''': Mm. Give me that phone, Wendy, or I'm gonna take it, and stick it down your goddamn throat. :'''Wendy Crowe''': Well, that'd be a real ballsy move, wouldn't it, Daryl? ''[presses a gun to Daryl's crotch]'' How are you gonna do it without your balls? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[standing over a dying Daryl]'' Didn't I tell you you were gonna wish I killed you?

Then you'd be headed down to Florida without a star and a gun. And you might be seeing your daughter through the glass on visitation days at the penitentiary. Or, Raylan, there's another way it goes, where you try and you fail and the bullet finds you. :'''Raylan Givens''': Unlikely. :'''Art Mullen''': I know you think so, but if you'll allow me... You get to be my age, do the job as long as you do... sometimes it just doesn't go your way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dewey Crowe''': I want to go back. I want it to be like it used to be at the church, when we was Crowder's commandos! :'''Boyd Crowder''': You, me, and Devil. :'''Dewey Crowe''': Yes! And the Pork brothers, giving me no end of shit. The music cranked so loud that we almost blew the roof off that old church. Bombing around in my Cadillac and making war plans and drinking 'shine. Why can't it be like that again, Boyd? === ''Cash Game'' [6.02] === :'''Betty''': Handsome young man comes to my house, spewing sunshine, offering a ride in his Mercedes... feels like maybe I'm chatting with the devil himself. :'''John-O''': What's this about? :'''Ty Walker''': I come to offer you an opportunity to depart this burdensome homestead, live the rest of your days free as newborn babes. :'''Betty''': Oh, I was right. You ''are'' the devil. :'''Ty Walker''': No, ma'am, just a man with a plan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Choo-Choo''': Since I was a kid, folks called me Choo-Choo. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Because you like trains? :'''Choo-Choo''': 'Cause when I hit you, it comes hard, it comes fast like a choo-choo train. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Avery Markham''': Know what I do, keep my people loyal? :'''Katherine Hale''': Do tell. :'''Avery Markham''': Overpay them. Christmas bonus, Easter bonus, President's Day bonus, Pappy Van Winkle on their birthday. Don't nobody bite this hand. :'''Katherine Hale''': Yeah, well, it must be a little harder to turn a profit, I would imagine. :'''Avery Markham''': There's plenty to go around, and it's a small price to pay for loyalty. :'''Katherine Hale''': All right, but what if one of them did betray you? What would you do then? Cut off a finger the way Grady used to? :'''Avery Markham''': If cutting fingers were enough, Grady would still be alive, wouldn't he? :'''Katherine Hale''': Well, what, then take out an eye? :'''Avery Markham''': An eye? I don't know. One-eyed guy can still see, still get a driver's license, even. Both eyes maybe. That'd be a good start. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ty Walker''': You see what happens if you call me a peacock? === ''Noblesse Oblige'' [6.03] === :'''Ty Walker''': I'm just a weather vane, Mr. Crowder. I don't make the wind blow. I'm saying, you find a way to counsel patience, desist coming after what doesn't belong to you, and everybody wins town, county, and state. Now, that being said, you insist upon the track thus far set upon, there will be consequences. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You done? Damn, son. You like to talk as much as I do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Earl?

I'm just gonna shoot it off. You understand me, Earl? I'm gonna shoot your dick off. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Avery Markham''': Ava, I've known my share of criminals. It's an ugly part of my past that I hope to remedy by investing more wisely in the future. :'''Ava Crowder''': Well, you're off to a bang-up start kidnapping me. :'''Avery Markham''': Wasn't my choice, I assure you. :'''Ava Crowder''': Whose was it, then? ''[indicating Walker]'' His? :'''Avery Markham''': It was yours. Come to reconnoiter my place of business, living some fantasy outlaw life, just you and Boyd against the world. :'''Ava Crowder''': Sounds like you know a thing or two about it. :'''Avery Markham''': I know for a woman to survive in this line of work, she's got to be harder than the men, ready to do the things they won't. I know women who have that in them. My question is, are you that kind of woman, Ava? Because if you ain't, then you'll never be more than a token, something that can be threatened or hurt just to keep your man in line. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Avery Markham''': Last time I saw you, you were no bigger than minute. Peacocking around your daddy like you thought you was already a full-grown bad man. :'''Boyd Crowder''': I recognize you now, Mr. Markham. That being said, I still don't recall being bounced on your knee. Nevertheless, it, uh, seems that I owe you an apology. :'''Avery Markham''': Like I said, I can't blame you for not remembering. :'''Boyd Crowder''': No, sir. The apology that I owe is for my craven attempt to pilfer that which rightfully belongs to you. As defense, I offer only my ignorance. :'''Avery Markham''': Meaning you thought you were stealing from Calhoun? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Yes, sir. I did. :'''Avery Markham''': And now you know the prize in question belongs to me. :'''Boyd Crowder''': That I do. :'''Avery Markham''': Mm-hmm. :'''Boyd Crowder''': And any, uh, plan that I had for my next attempt should be considered abandoned as foolhardy, not to say unworthy. :'''Avery Markham''': Hmm. I hope you'll understand when I say I don't want to see either of you at the portal again. Next time you want a slice, order in. Have it here in 30 minutes, or it's free. And if I see you in my place of business again I'll kill you. ''[beat]'' Come to it, I guess you ain't all that big now. Grown, but still just playing pretend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Woman, how do you see this playing out in your mind? You think he's not gonna put it together that you were in on ripping him off? Avery Markham's not a man to sit still while someone takes what's his, let them go live the good life somewhere on his dime? :'''Wynn Duffy''': So, you're out, right? That's what you're saying? I mean, let's just set aside all this poetic, down-home, hillbilly bullshit. Bottom line is you're backing down. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Oh, I ain't backing down. I'm gonna rob him. And then I'm gonna stick a bullet in your boyfriend's head. :'''Katherine Hale''': You know what, Boyd? From the moment I met you, I just knew you were the man of my dreams. === ''The Trash and the Snake'' [6.04] === :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Your mama asks you to take out the trash, you do as she says, but you see a copperhead on the way out, you don't go back inside, say you didn't do nothing because all she asked was take out the trash. You take out the trash and the snake. :'''Art Mullen''': Didn't your mama ever tell you that there's always another snake? :'''Raylan Givens''': I knew you'd say that. :'''Art Mullen''': Raylan, if you declare war on them all, they're just gonna outbreed you and outlast you—and bring you down for good. :'''Raylan Givens''': You telling me not to do the job? :'''Art Mullen''': No. I'm telling you not to get your ass bit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': What do you want to bet that she and Mr. Hutchins didn't die peacefully in their sleep? :'''Tim Gutterson''': No, but it's such a nice thought.

I want [[Sigourney Weaver]] to choke me out with her thighs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dickie Bennett''': This is one of them ecstatic visions I've been having of late. All right, all right! Here we go-o-o-o. Mighty spirit! :'''Raylan Givens''': Dickie Bennett, this is archangel Raylan, here to deliver unto thee a loaded-up commissary in exchange for your cooperation in a federal criminal investigation. :'''Dickie Bennett''': Oh! Message received, but I'm afraid what you ask, it's— it's just it's too g-great. It really is. I cannot see a way to answer your call. :'''Raylan Givens''': Search your soul, numbnuts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loretta McCready''': Somebody please tell me what all you're talking about. :'''Raylan Givens''': The man is making you an offer you can't refuse: sell or he kills you. :'''Avery Markham''': Oh, come on, now. I may make you an offer you can't refuse... but that's because I'm offering you more money than you ever imagined. :'''Loretta McCready''': And if I don't want it at any price? :'''Avery Markham''': Then you'd be a bird so rare as to never before have been sighted. :'''Raylan Givens''': The negotiation has ended. I told you you can't have my land. I'm adding hers to the list. :'''Avery Markham''': I don't see how you can do that, legally speaking. :'''Raylan Givens''': You want to follow that thread, be my guest. Till then, you can put away your suitcase of money. :'''Avery Markham''': Or what? You gonna give me 24 hours to get out of town, Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens? :'''Tim Gutterson''': And he said he didn't do his homework. :'''Raylan Givens''': I'm just saying there's no deal to make here. :'''Avery Markham''': First you turn me down. Now this. What's next? Third time? You gonna tell me that, by the power vested in you, that there's something else I ain't allowed to do? This is still America, last time I checked the flagpole. :'''Raylan Givens''': What's next is entirely based on the next choice you make. :'''Avery Markham''': I think I'll burn one on the way out.

Before my "alive day," if I'd met a guy that looks and talks the way I do now, I'd have thought the same thing. :'''Caprice''': You'd be amazed how many guys think that if they talk fast enough, no one'll realize they got nothing to say. I like the way you take your time. It's like all you want is for the other person to understand. :'''Choo-Choo''': ''[beat]'' You ever wish things wouldn't have to be the way they are?

Feds have got guys that spend their whole lives tying people in knots— :'''Ty Walker''': I'm not— ''[pauses]'' Choo-Choo and I were in the sandbox together. :'''Avery Markham''': I know. :'''Ty Walker''': I was in the Humvee right behind his when he got blown up. I.E.D. flipped them over, then landed on our hood. Crushed their gunner like a bug on our windshield. Choo-Choo's in the captain's seat. ''[laughs bitterly]'' We got that door open... You wouldn't think anybody could be alive in there. Medics picking splinters of the driver's bones out of his face. He lives through ''that?'' No. :'''Avery Markham''': One morning when I was in the Corps, we found a dead Cong who'd stepped in a punji pit in the dark. Thing about punji sticks, they're not meant to kill. A dead soldier reduces the force against you by one, but a wounded soldier slows down a whole unit. Cong used to cover their stakes with human shit, make the wounds infect. But rather than being a drag on his comrades, make them carry him back, this feller just decided to put a gun in his mouth. :'''Ty Walker''': One man dies so the others can live. :'''Avery Markham''': Anybody can run a peacetime command.

But there is only the one thing: you. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You wanna lean in for a kiss? :'''Raylan Givens''': Is that what you think this is, another one of your love stories? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Oh, well, I do like happy endings. :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, this is one of them classic stories, where the hero gets his man, then he rides off into the sunset. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Or maybe it's like that other classic, where a guy chases a whale to the ends of the Earth, only to drown for his troubles. :'''Raylan Givens''': I got to admit, there's a small part of me that's gonna miss this when it's over. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, don't eulogize the past till the future gets its turn. === ''Burned'' [6.09] === :'''Boon''': When I was just a pup, my mama used to say I tended to leap before I looked. :'''Loretta MacCready''': Well, if you're done looking, now would be a good time to scoot your ass on out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boon''': Name's Boon. Pleased to meet you. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': I wouldn't rush to judgment on that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You got more balls than sense, you know that, girl? :'''Loretta MacCready''': Ain't that what they say about you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loretta MacCready''': My fix is the same as yours, Mr. Markham. Promise of legal weed. The difference is, I've been here for generations. You all knew my daddy. ''[crowd murmuring in agreement]'' You all know me. Know that I'm Harlan through and through. And so is my partner. :'''Avery Markham''': And who might that be? :'''Loretta MacCready''': The only other soul I know who cares about this place as much as I do: Boyd Crowder. ''[to the crowd]'' Every one of you who has been approached about your property, this is my offer. I will give you cash for your land, same as Markham, but the difference is I don't want to move you guys out. Just want to move some seed in. And along with that seed, we bring security and protection now and in perpetuity. Hire the locals to help with the farming, pay it back. You think Avery Markham and his city mousette ain't gonna cut and run win or lose? She look like Harlan to you? Throw in with me, and we'll make Harlan prosperous our own selves. Give this county back to the people the way we all know it should be! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Avery Markham''': You know, I don't get you. Give you some of my own money to help you out. 24 hours ago upstairs, I figured you and me are simpatico. I see you're just jerking me around and using me to get Boyd. :'''Raylan Givens''': Don't take it personal. I'm just doing what I gotta do. :'''Avery Markham''': Yeah. That's my plan. :'''Raylan Givens''': What's that? :'''Avery Markham''': Doing what I gotta do. === ''Trust'' [6.10] === :'''Ava Crowder''': Come on, Boyd, you know Ellstin Limehouse has made a fortune being the man folks can count on in times of trouble. :'''Ellstin Limehouse''': And I recall you yourself have benefited from that on more than one occasion. :'''Ava Crowder''': And on reflection, I wonder if the benefit warranted the cost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': Anybody ever tell you should talk less? :'''Boon''': Yeah. One guy. :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, you're young yet. :'''Boon''': Anyway, the matter I wanted your take on: you come across a fella like this, never sat a horse or roped a steer, wants putting on a hat to make him a, a buckaroo. You think it's up to gentlemen like us to disabuse him? :'''Raylan Givens''': You're asking if we're keepers of some kind of flame. I guess my main take is I believe you're overestimating how much you and I have in common. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': You really think this ends in a trial? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Shit, I hope so. All the work we've done. :'''Raylan Givens''': What I mean is, you really think Boyd's gonna let us take him in instead of going out in a blaze like the outlaw he's spent his whole life trying to be? :'''Tim Gutterson''': Well, I guess that'll be up to him. ''[pointedly]'' Won't it, Raylan? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Avery Markham''': You ever notice how the necessities of our line of work weigh heavy on your conscience? :'''Boon''': Always seemed to me, as far as conscience goes, the sweet spot is you either be poor enough you can't afford to have one or rich enough you can afford to hire someone to carry the weight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': ''[to Markham about Katherine]'' Oh. Uh, ripping you off that was her idea from the jump. Payback for you murdering her husband. I just, uh, ''[laughing]'' I just thought you ought to know! === ''Fugitive Number One'' [6.11] === :'''Avery Markham''': Well, I've always loved you, Katherine. I just don't trust you. :'''Katherine Hale''': Well, I accepted your proposal, Avery. Would it be so bad for the two of us to live together, not trusting each other, just like everybody else in the whole wide world? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Cosmatopolis''': ''[to Duffy]'' This isn't just about some code! You were as close to family as I ever had. I believed in you, Wynn. End of the day, you're a rat. And rats get exterminated, period. And I hate being called "Mikey"! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You know, it don't bother me much running into a cop from this town that's bent to shit. I grew up around here. Kinda expect it now and then. What irritates me is when you call 'em on it, and they give you this look like, "how dare you insinuate I'm a piece of shit tarnishing my badge?" I see you doing the math, whether you're gonna tolerate the insult. But you should know, one of your co-workers is in the hospital with brain bleed, and this boy's brother's dead, so you might wanna factor them items into the equation before you decide what you're gonna do next. :'''Crosley''': Number one, I don't like your tone. Number two, that badge don't mean shit. And number three, this boy's been bonded out fair and square. Matter of fact, I was just about to call the judge. :'''Raylan Givens''': The marshal service have spent a lot of time and effort apprehending a fugitive that's now out on the run, and lives are in danger because of it, so every time you open your mealy mouth to lie, I think of that, and I start picturing how you'd look without any of your goddamn teeth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katherine Hale''': You're being awfully flip for someone who's about to die. :'''Wynn Duffy''': What do you want me to say, Katherine? Yes, I ratted out Grady to Simon Poole and, yes, I killed Simon Poole because Simon Poole was gonna rat me out to Grady. The life we chose, huh? :'''Katherine Hale''': Why kill Grady? :'''Wynn Duffy''': What do you care? You were schtupping Markham. You think about it, I did you a favor. :'''Katherine Hale''': Yeah. Yeah, maybe you did. But Wynn, Grady was my husband. He was my partner. And here's how it works. You protect your partner, and you avenge them against people who do them wrong. That is something I strongly believe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Art Mullen''': You got 48 hours, Raylan. That's all I can give you. :'''Raylan Givens''': 48 hours, bullshit. Who you got coming after me? Everybody? :'''Art Mullen''': You got too high an opinion of yourself. Of course, you always have. Everybody's out looking for Boyd. I'll be the one coming after you. === ''Collateral'' [6.12] === :'''Avery Markham''': ''[to Katherine Hale's corpse]'' I always scoffed at people talking to loved ones who'd moved on. Seemed impractical to me. Can't hear you. They're gone. And I'm a practical man. Except when it comes to you, it seems. Revenge, Katherine. What did you in? Damn it, I told you I would get Duffy! Why didn't you trust me? For once, why couldn't you just do what you were told to do? I'll always love you, Katherine, but you need to know. I may be talking to a ghost, but I am still a practical man. I'd love to gut Wynn Duffy from nose to tail, but I have got to go and get my goddamn money. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wynn Duffy''': Raylan Givens, Boyd Crowder, and Avery Markham are soon to converge, Mr. Vasquez. Like the aligning of the planets, if those planets carried guns and hated my guts. I don't ever plan on returning to Kentucky. May I? :'''David Vasquez''': I just have one last question. You know, for me. Off the record. :'''Wynn Duffy''': Sounds sexy. :'''David Vasquez''': You know, I have a-a stack of files this tall. Sits on my desk. It's got all kinds of witness interrogation and, um, surveillance records and info from snitches about who killed Simon Poole 14 years ago. And it all adds up to jack shit. So I just want to know, between you and me, who really did it? Who killed my boss? :'''Wynn Duffy''': Between you and me, Mr. Vasquez, I really and truly don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hagan''': I appreciate the lie, Mr. Crowder. But we both know what you was thinking. Loose end and all. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You know my mind? Now, maybe I was gonna take your keys, let you walk. :'''Hagan''': ''[scoffs]'' So you could shoot me in the back? You're gonna have to look me in the eye, you pull that trigger. Nah, I knew the minute you stepped in my cab I was gonna be staring down the black hole of your gun, cut me down like the plague you are. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, I got to say, you did do a pretty good job all that smoke you were blowing up my ass. :'''Hagan''': Ain't no smoke. But I will say this. Stories of outlaw legends, they ain't passed down by the families of the murdered. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, I don't give a shit about "the Ballad of Boyd Crowder". I'll be dead and gone when that song gets sung. :'''Hagan''': Old boy by the name of Hut McKean mean anything to you? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Let me guess. I killed him, my men killed him, my dope killed him, or my daddy killed him? Next thing that comes out of your mouth is, "how do you sleep at night, Boyd Crowder?" Well, do you know how? 'Cause I know who I am. Do you? You're a slave, disenfranchised, don't even know it. You drive your shitty truck to your shitty house, live out your shitty life. You think you're better than me 'cause you play by the rules? Whose rules? My life is my own. :'''Hagan''': You ain't even heard a word I said. :'''Boyd Crowder''': I don't give a shit about what you said. I'm an outlaw. :''[Boyd kills Hagan]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Boyd Crowder''': Why you want to kill me so bad, Raylan? You don't even know why. "Boyd Crowder must die!" That's just the lie you tell yourself, wanting to win. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You are the world-conquering emperor of lies, the biggest reserved for yourself. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Just say it, Raylan. "I want to win!" :'''Raylan Givens''': ''[chuckles]'' How about, "I want the money"? Shit. You want to kill her, Boyd. You want to kill the woman who stole your money, shot you, and left you for dead. :'''Boyd Crowder''': You don't know what's in my heart. :'''Raylan Givens''': What heart? :'''Boyd Crowder''': You don't know what's in your own heart. You've given up everything you are so that you could murder me. :'''Raylan Givens''': I cross the line with my eyes wide open. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, whose eyes you gonna see when you kill me, Raylan? Your daddy's? :'''Raylan Givens''': Not anymore. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Your baby girl's? Imagine the look on her face the day she realizes, "my daddy spent his whole life trying to walk the line and failed". :'''Raylan Givens''': She'll live her life the way everybody does: on her own. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Are you sure you don't want me to kill you, Raylan, keep you a hero? That makes for a hell of a bedtime story. :'''Raylan Givens''': This is the only story here tonight. :'''Bob Sweeney''': ''[in the distance]'' Help! :'''Boyd Crowder''': You don't think that's Bob, do you? :'''Raylan Givens''': Why would that be Bob? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, I shot him a couple times down at the trail head. I think he might still be alive. You ought to go run down there and see if you can't help him. :'''Raylan Givens''': Bob can take care of himself. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Well, hell, Raylan. Then I have already won. <hr width="50%"/> :''[finding Derrick Waters mortally wounded]'' :'''Avery Markham''': What the hell is this? :'''Boon''': Yeah, he tried to pull on me. :'''Avery Markham''': You just gonna let him lay there and bleed? :'''Boon''': Was I supposed to take him to the hospital? :''[Markham kills Derrick]'' :'''Avery Markham''': Hope he wasn't someone dear to you. :'''Loretta McCready''': Just someone I paid to watch my back. :'''Avery Markham''': Money not well spent, I'd say. === ''The Promise'' [6.13] === :'''Boyd Crowder''': Why? We had the money. We were home free. :'''Ava Crowder''': Honestly, Boyd? I put myself in your shoes. I did what I thought you would do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ava Crowder''': I can tell you where the rest of the money is. Almost nine million dollars, Raylan. :'''[[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]]''': You're trying to bribe a federal officer now? :'''Ava Crowder''': I'm just wondering if there's still a deal to be made. :'''Raylan Givens''': No. No deals, no outs. I'm sorry, Ava. :'''Ava Crowder''': Why didn't you just kill him? You heard him. You know there ain't a cell that can keep him. What's it prove, letting him live? :'''Raylan Givens''': ...Maybe nothing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, I hope you get someone at this desk that's less of a pain in the ass. :'''Tim Gutterson''': Not likely there's someone who's more of a pain in the ass. I just hope it's someone who can keep up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Raylan Givens''': I hear you're preaching again, gathering a flock. :'''Boyd Crowder''': Just spreading the word of my calamitous fall and subsequent rebirth in the light of the Lord, Raylan. :'''Raylan Givens''': You know you're repeating yourself, right? :'''Boyd Crowder''': Raylan Givens, I know you have never believed a word that has come out of my mouth, though I have harbored the secret hope that you have nevertheless enjoyed hearing them. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Last lines of the series]'' :'''Boyd Crowder''': Tramble Penitentiary is a long way from Miami, Raylan. Now, you could have called the warden. Could have sent word through my lawyer. :'''Raylan Givens''': You asking why I came? Thought it was news that should be delivered in person. :'''Boyd Crowder''': That the only reason? After all these long years, Raylan Givens, that's the only reason? :'''Raylan Givens''': Well, I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental, despite all that has occurred there is one thing I wander back to. :'''Boyd Crowder''': We dug coal together. :'''Raylan Givens''': That's right. == Cast == * [[w:Timothy Olyphant|Timothy Olyphant]] - [[w:Raylan Givens|Raylan Givens]] * [[w:Walton Goggins|Walton Goggins]] - Boyd Crowder * [[w:Nick Searcy|Nick Searcy]] - Art Mullen * [[w:Joelle Carter|Joelle Carter]] - Ava Crowder * [[w:Jacob Pitts|Jacob Pitts]] - Tim Gutterson * [[w:Erica Tazel|Erica Tazel]] - Rachel Brooks * [[w:Natalie Zea|Natalie Zea]] - Winona Hawkins * [[w:Jere Burns|Jere Burns]] - Wynn Duffy == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|1489428|Justified}} * {{Official website|http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/justified/}} [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:2010s American crime drama TV shows]] [[Category:FX shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Television programs based on novels]] n0ikp3tka6puf5gsr67lgu9sdyz4bpl The Rescuers Down Under 0 130480 3147396 3147136 2022-07-26T13:17:40Z 107.77.192.21 /* Percival C.

Uh... I can definitely say no. We're gonna have to make connections with a bigger bird. Non-stop? What do I look like, [[w:Charles Lindbergh|Charles Lindbergh]]? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilbur''': ''[over radio]'' Mugwump tower! Mugwump tower, this is Albatross 1-3, requesting permission to land, over! :'''Jake''': Albatross? Let's see.

''[to Wilbur]'' Negative, 1-3! You'll have to turn back! Our runway isn't long enough for a bird your size! :'''Wilbur''': Not long enough?! Look, pal! I can land this thing on a dime! :'''Bernard''': Uh, Wilbur, if the runway isn't long enough-- :'''Wilbur''': Listen! You can't let these radar jockeys push you around!

More snakes, less quicksand. Then once you cross Bloodworm Creek, you're scot free, that is until, um... Dead Dingo Pass. <hr width=50%/> :'''McLeach''': Well, Joanna, what did we get today? A dingo, a fat old razorback, or a nice big... boy? ''[McLeach frowns, turns to look at Joanna and suddenly viciously kicks her]'' JOANNA, YOU BEEN DIGGING HOLES OUT HERE AGAIN?! HUH?! Darn lizard's always trying to bury squirrels out here. :'''Cody''': Uh-uh. It's a trap, and poaching's ''against the law.'' :'''McLeach''': Trap? Where'd you get an idea like that, boy? I think you've been down in that hole too long. ''[points gun barrel directly at Cody's chest]'' Well, come on, grab a hold. ''[Cody gulps and grabs the gun, and McLeach pulls him out of the hole]'' We'll just get you outta this old lizard-hole, then you can just run on home. :''[Joanna notices the mouse in Cody's backpack and snarls]'' :'''Cody''': This ''is'' a poacher's trap, and ''you're'' a poacher! ''[Joanna attacks. McLeach screams while he falls into his own pit, his gun going off in the process]'' Let go! Hey, get off me! :'''McLeach''': ''[climbing out]'' I'm gonna kill her...I'm gonna kill ''that dumb, slimy, egg-suckin' salamander!'' :'''Cody''': Cut it out, get off of me! :''[McLeach angrily aims his gun at Joanna, until he notices Marahute's feather sticking out of the backpack]'' :'''McLeach''': Hmmmm... Good girl Joanna. Say, where'd you get this pretty feather, boy? :'''Cody''': It was a present. :'''McLeach''': Oh, that's real nice. Who gave it to you? :'''Cody''': It's a...secret. :'''McLeach''': That's ''no secret,'' boy. You see, I already got the father. ''[performs a throat-slitting gesture with a battered eagle feather]'' Hah, hah, hah! Now you just tell me where mama and those little eggs are. :'''Cody''': ''[retreats]'' No! :'''McLeach''': Joanna, sic 'em! ''[Joanna chases Cody to the edge of Crocodile Falls and McLeach stamps on Cody's hand, stopping him from using his knife]'' You're coming with me, boy. :'''Cody''': My Mom'll call the Rangers! :'''McLeach''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh no! Not the Rangers, what'll I do? What'll I do?! Don't let your mom call the Rangers, ''please!'' ''[Joanna laughs; McLeach flings Cody's backpack into the water, where the crocodiles attack it]'' "My poor baby boy got eaten by the crocodiles, boo-hoo-hoo!" ''[chuckles, as he grabs Cody]'' Let's go, boy! :'''Cody''': ''[gets locked in the cage on McLeach's truck]'' Help! Help! <hr width=50%/> :'''Cody''': ''[Locked in McLeach's truck, throwing traps around]'' Let me out of here! Let me go! You can't do this! ''Help! HELP! HEEEEEELP!!!'' :'''McLeach''': ''[over the speaker]'' Breaker, breaker, little mate! I forgot to tell 'ya, round here, you need to be '''QUIET!''' Or the Rangers might hear. Now sit down and relax and enjoy the view. Nothing but abandoned opal mines, far as the eye can see! And dead ahead, is home sweet home. <hr width=50%/> :'''McLeach''': Well, Joanna, it looks like lady luck has finally decided to smile on us. Everything's going our way to these waltz. ''[laughs to himself]'' :'''Cody''': ''[screaming]'' ''You can't do this!'' You're gonna get ''in big trouble!'' I'll tell the Rangers ''where you are! [Joanna opened the window to Cody]'' :'''McLeach''': ''[groans]'' Oops! I almost forgot...we got a loose end tie up, haven't we girl? :'''Cody''': Don't worry I'm not going hurt bird. Just a golden hawk. :'''Bernard''': McLeach, you're never tell you! NEVER! :'''Joanna''': Me either. :'''Cody''': Shh! I'll call mom. :'''Jake''': Yeah! :'''Cody''': ''[singsong]'' Oh doggies! :'''McLeach''': ''[dog growls and barking]'' What the... Dogs?! ''[Dog bites his legs]'' OUCH! OW, OW, OW, OW, OW!! :'''Red Kangaroo''': That's good is should honest for Cody anyone you're bird's alive, golden eagle hero. :'''McLeach''': ''[exclaiming]'' You biting my legs!

What now? :'''Doctor''': Spinal streculator! :'''Wilbur''': Ohh! That's gonna hurt! :'''Doctor''': Artery router! :'''Wilbur''': Mother! :'''Doctor''': This is rusted tight. I wouldn't dream of using such a tool. Bring me the epidermal tissue disruptor! :'''Wilbur''': THE EPIDERMAL ''WHAT?!'' :''[The nurses rev up a chainsaw]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Cody is tied up in front of a map, while McLeach is across the room sharpening several knives]'' :'''McLeach''': Let's see if we can't refresh that rusty old memory of yours. Is she ''on Satan's Ridge?!'' ''[throws knife which embeds in map on "Satan's Ridge" and very close to Cody]'' Or ''Nightmare Canyon?!'' ''[throws another knife]'' What do you think, Joanna? ''[Joanna breaks a cracker in half]'' Yeah, that's it. Right smack dab ''in the middle of Croc Falls!''

Help! <hr width=50%/> :'''Cody''': ''[Locked in McLeach's truck, throwing traps around]'' Let me out of here! Let me go! You can't do this! ''Help! HELP! HEEEEEELP!!!'' :'''McLeach''': ''[over the speaker]'' Breaker, breaker, little mate! I forgot to tell 'ya, round here, you need to be '''QUIET!''' Or the Rangers might hear. Now sit down and relax and enjoy the view. Nothing but abandoned opal mines, far as the eye can see! And dead ahead, is home sweet home. <hr width=50%/> :'''McLeach''': Well, Joanna, it looks like lady luck has finally decided to smile on us. Everything's going our way to these waltz. ''[laughs to himself]'' :'''Cody''': ''[screaming]'' ''You can't do this!'' You're gonna get ''in big trouble!'' I'll tell the Rangers ''where you are! [Joanna opened the window to Cody]'' :'''McLeach''': ''[groans]'' Oops! I almost forgot...we got a loose end tie up, haven't we girl? :'''Cody''': Don't worry I'm not going hurt bird. Just a golden hawk. :'''Bernard''': McLeach, you're never tell you! NEVER! :'''Joanna''': Me either. :'''Cody''': Shh! I'll call mom. :'''Jake''': Yeah! :'''Cody''': ''[singsong]'' Oh doggies! :'''McLeach''': ''[dog growls and barking]'' What the... Dogs?! ''[Dog bites his legs]'' OUCH! OW, OW, OW, OW, OW!! :'''Red Kangaroo''': That's good is should honest for Cody anyone you're bird's alive, golden eagle hero. :'''McLeach''': ''[exclaiming]'' You biting my legs! ''[runs away and screams]'' :''' Bernard''': Cody, I was wondering to fourth grade, you tell my that. <hr width=50%/> :'''Doctor''': Forceps! :'''Nurse Mouse''': Forceps! :'''Wilbur''': Oh no... What now? :'''Doctor''': Spinal streculator! :'''Wilbur''': Ohh! That's gonna hurt! :'''Doctor''': Artery router! :'''Wilbur''': Mother! :'''Doctor''': This is rusted tight. I wouldn't dream of using such a tool. Bring me the epidermal tissue disruptor! :'''Wilbur''': THE EPIDERMAL ''WHAT?!'' :''[The nurses rev up a chainsaw]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Cody is tied up in front of a map, while McLeach is across the room sharpening several knives]'' :'''McLeach''': Let's see if we can't refresh that rusty old memory of yours. Is she ''on Satan's Ridge?!'' ''[throws knife which embeds in map on "Satan's Ridge" and very close to Cody]'' Or ''Nightmare Canyon?!'' ''[throws another knife]'' What do you think, Joanna? ''[Joanna breaks a cracker in half]'' Yeah, that's it. Right smack dab ''in the middle of Croc Falls!'' ''[knife embeds into "Croc Falls" and very close to Cody's head]'' Am I gettin' warm? :'''Cody''': I told you ''I don't remember!'' :'''McLeach''': ''[walks toward Cody with a knife]'' Don't you realize ''a bird that size'' is worth a ''fortune?!'' ''[stabs knife into map next to Cody and gets nose to nose with him]'' I'll split the money with ya–50-50. You've got no better offer than that, boy! :'''Cody''': You won't have ''any'' money after the Rangers get through with you! :'''McLeach''': ''[growls]'' Grrr... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cody''': There must be a way out of here. :'''Krebbs''': Oh, there's a way out, all right. :'''Red and Frank''': There is? :'''Krebbs''': ''[to Red]'' Absolutely! ''You'll'' go as a wallet, ''[to platypus]'' ''you'll'' go as a belt, and our dear Frank... :'''Frank''': No, no, no! I don't want to hear it! :'''Krebbs''': Frank will go as... :'''Frank''': I can't hear you! ''[covers ears while singing nonsense; stops to see if Krebbs is done]'' :'''Krebbs''': A purse. :'''Frank''': ''[shrieks hysterically]'' :'''Krebbs''': Oh, a lovely lady's purse! :'''Frank''': I DON'T WANNA GO AS A ''PURSE!'' Please, please don't let him do it! <hr width=50%/> :'''Krebbs''': Oh, there he goes again... :'''Red''': Take it easy, mate. You don't wanna hurt yourself again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bianca''': Now, now, Cody. We mustn't lose hope. Bernard is still out there. :'''Jake''': That's right! If anyone can get us out of this, it's old Berno! ''[under his breath]'' Nice bluff, Miss B. :'''Bianca''': I wasn't bluffing. You don't know Bernard like I do. He'll never give up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bianca''': Oh, Bernard, you were magnificent! You're absolutely the hero of the day! :'''Bernard''': Miss Bianca, before anything else happens... ''[drops to one knee and pulls out the ring]'' Will you marry me? :'''Bianca''': Bernard... Of course I will! :'''Jake''': ''[thumbs up]'' Well done, mate. ==Countries Release date== *Togo - December 25, 1990 *Egypt - May 16, 1991 *Turkey - August 31, 1991 *United Arab Emirates - November 22, 1991 *Madagascar - November 17, 1995 *United States - March 7, 2003 (10th Anniversary Edition THX-Certified) *Thailand - April 4, 2012 ==External links== {{wikipedia}} * {{IMDb title|0100477}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Rescuers Down Under, The}} [[Category:1990 films]] [[Category:1990s American animated films]] [[Category:Traditionally animated films]] [[Category:American children's animated adventure films]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy films]] [[Category:American children's animated drama films]] [[Category:American children's animated fantasy films]] [[Category:Sequel films]] [[Category:Films about mice]] [[Category:Films directed by Mike Gabriel]] dsdnoespzsfp54euiy8prb6k5bfq491 Once Upon a Time (TV series) 0 130591 3147521 3099522 2022-07-26T17:15:38Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Once Upon a Time (TV series)|Once Upon a Time]]''''' (2011–18) is an American television show, airing on [[w:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], about a bail bonds agent who discovers that a town in New England is a remnant of a parallel universe where every classic fairy tale character existed until the Evil Queen cast a curse that stripped them of their memories and their happy endings. == Season 1 == === ''Pilot'' [1.01] === :'''Snow''': ''You''. You found me. :'''Charming''': Did you ever doubt I would? :'''Snow''': Truthfully, the glass coffin gave me pause. :'''Charming''': Well, you never have to worry. I will ''always'' find you. <hr width="50%"> :'''Evil Queen''': My gift to you is this ''happy'', happy day. For tomorrow, my real work begins. You've made your vows. Now I make mine. Soon everything you love, everything ''all'' of you love, will be taken from you. Forever. And out of your suffering will rise my victory. I shall destroy your happiness... if it is the last thing I do. <hr width="50%"> :'''Old Woman''': That a good book? :'''Henry''': ''This''? It's more than just a book. <hr width=50%> :'''Snow''': What do you know? :'''Rumplestiltskin''': The Queen has created a powerful curse... and it's coming. Soon you'll all be in a prison, just like me, only ''worse''. For your prison, all of our prisons, will be time. For time will stop and we will be trapped someplace horrible where everything we hold dear, ''everything'' we love, will be ripped from us while we suffer for all eternity, while the Queen celebrates victorious at last... No more happy endings. <hr width=50%> :'''Grumpy''': A ''tree''? Our fate rests on a tree? Let's get back to the fighting thing. <hr width=50%> :'''Mary Margaret''': As we build our birdhouses, remember what you're making is a home, ''not'' a cage. The bird is free and will do what it will. This is for them, not us. They're loyal creatures. If you love them and they love you, they will always find you. <hr width=50%> :'''Emma''': How is a book supposed to help? :'''Mary Margaret''': What do you think stories are for? These stories? The classics? There's a reason we all know them. They're a way for us to deal with our world. A world that doesn't always make sense. <hr width=50%> :'''Mary Margaret''': Look, I gave the book to him because I wanted Henry to have the most important thing anyone can have. Hope. Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing. <hr width=50%> :'''Henry''': You don't have to be hostile. I know you like me, I can tell. You're just... pushing me away because I make you feel guilty. It's okay. I know why you gave me away. You wanted to give me my best chance. :'''Emma''': How do you know that? :'''Henry''': The same reason Snow White gave ''you'' away. :'''Emma''': Listen to me, kid. I am not in any book. I'm a real person. And I'm no savior. You were right about one thing, though... I wanted you to have your best chance. But it's not with me. === ''The Thing You Love Most'' [1.02] === :'''Henry''': I knew you'd believe me! :'''Emma''': I never said I did. :'''Henry''': Why else would you be here? <hr width=50%> :'''Emma''': Just tell me something. This fairy-tale obsession. What's causing it? I mean, he thinks everyone is a character in his book. That's crazy. :'''Archie''': I hope you don't talk that way in front of him. The word ''crazy'' is quite damaging and these stories… they're his language. He has no way to express complex emotions, so he's translating as best he can. This is how he communicates. And he's using this book to help deal with his problems. <hr width=50%> :'''Evil Queen''': What must I do to enact this curse? :'''Rumplestiltskin''': You need to sacrifice a heart. :'''Evil Queen''': I sacrificed my prize steed. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': A horse? This is the curse to end all curses. You think a horse is going to do? Great power requires great sacrifice. The heart you need must come from something far more precious. :'''Evil Queen''': Tell me what will suffice. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': The heart of the thing you love most. <hr width=50%> :'''Evil Queen''': I just want to be happy. :'''Prince Henry''': You ''can'' be. Of this I'm sure. I believe, given the chance, we can find happiness. ''Together''. But the choice is yours. === ''Snow Falls'' [1.03] === :'''Charming''': You can't hide from me! Wherever you are, I will find you! <hr width="50%"> :'''Snow''': Aren't you a real Prince Charming? :'''Charming''': I have a name, you know. :'''Snow''': Don't care. Charming suits you. Now cut me down, ''Charming''. <hr width="50%"> :'''Charming''': You've got a lot of anger there, don't you, Snow? :'''Snow''': The charges on her posters are lies. That didn't stop her huntsman from trying to rip out my heart. :'''Charming''': What happened? :'''Snow''': Well, not everyone is a soulless royal. He took pity on me and let me go. I've been hiding in the forest ever since, trying to amass a fortune to leave this place, escape to another realm. Somewhere isolated where I can never be hurt. :'''Charming''': Sounds lonely. :'''Snow''': No lonelier than an arranged marriage. <hr width="50%"> :'''Charming''': So what did you do to incur that much wrath? :'''Snow''': She blames me for ruining her life. :'''Charming''': Did you? :'''Snow''': Yes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': You're the one that woke him up. You're the last one he saw. He wants to find ''you''. :'''Mary Margaret''': Henry, it's not about me. I just think he's lost and confused. He's been in a coma a long time. :'''Henry''': But he loves you! You need to stop chasing him and let him find ''you''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charming''': Well... Goodbye, Snow White. :'''Snow''': Goodbye, Prince Charming. :'''Charming''': I told you. It's James. :'''Snow''': Nah. Still like Charming better. === ''The Price of Gold'' [1.04] === :'''Rumplestiltskin''': All magic comes with a price. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cinderella''': Glass? :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Every story needs a memorable detail. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': People are going to tell you who you are your whole life, but you've just got to punch back and say, "No, this is who I am." If you want people to look at you differently, make them. If you want to change things, you are going to have to go out there and change them yourself, because there are no fairy godmothers in this world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': You can't make her double-cross Gold. No one's ever broken a deal with him. :'''Emma''': Happy to be the first. If Ashley wants to have this baby, she should have it. Anyone who wants to be a mother should damn well be allowed to be one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Henry, about what you said at the hospital... about me being able to leave? :'''Henry''': Yeah? :'''Emma''': See you tomorrow. === ''That Still Small Voice'' [1.05] === :'''Jiminy''': I wish... I wish... :''[The Blue Fairy suddenly appears before him]'' :'''Blue Fairy''': I hear your wish. You don't need to wish it so loudly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': Now it's harder for you, because of the curse, to care for the voice inside of you... To be who you wanna be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': Don't test me. :'''Archie''': I don't need to. Because you're gonna leave me alone and let me do my work in peace. :'''Regina''': Really? Why is that? :'''Archie''': Because someday, Madam Mayor, you may find yourself in a custody battle. And do you know how the court determines who is a fit parent? They consult an ''expert''. Particularly, one who has treated the child. So, I suggest that you think about that... and you allow me to do my work. And let me do it the way my conscience tells me to. === ''The Shepherd'' [1.06] === :'''Charming''': I don't have a choice, do I? :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Everyone has a choice, dearie. Just make sure it's the right one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Whale''': Rough day? :'''Mary Margaret''': I don't feel like talking. :'''Dr. Whale''': Come on. Sometimes it's easier to talk to someone when you don't give a crap what they think. :'''Mary Margaret''': You ever walk into a situation where you know ''exactly'' what's going to happen, and then you go into it anyway and then when what you're afraid of happens, you kick yourself because you should have known better. But that's just who you are... so you keep punishing yourself. === ''The Heart is a Lonely Hunter'' [1.07] === :'''Sidney''': ''[while watching Graham throw darts]'' Nice shot, Chief. I bet you twenty bucks you can't do it again. :''[Graham takes a sip from the drink Ruby offers him and throws a dart, which hits the target and the deer's face]'' :'''Graham''': ''[to Ruby]'' Next round's on him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Queen''': I always felt there were two kinds of people. Wolves and sheep. Those who kill, and those who get killed. And you, Huntsman... you are most certainly a wolf. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Graham''': I don't feel anything, Regina...I'd rather have nothing than settle for less. Nothing is better than what we have. I need to feel something, Regina, and the only way to do that is to give myself a chance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Did you ever stop to think that maybe the problem isn't with me, but with you? :'''Regina''': Excuse me? :'''Emma''': Henry came and found ''me''. Graham kissed ''me''. Both were miserable. Maybe, Madam Mayor, you need to take a good hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why that is. Why is everyone running away from you? === ''Desperate Souls'' [1.08] === :'''Mr. Gold''': Two people with a common goal can do many things. Two people with a common enemy can do even more. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': This is a juvie record! It was sealed by court order. I don't know how you got it, but that's abuse of power ''and'' illegal! :'''Regina''': Oh, I'm sorry you didn't want people to know you cut his cord with a shiv? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': I want to show him that good can actually win. :'''Mary Margaret''': That's why you want to win it for him, but why do you want to win the election for yourself? :'''Emma''': That is why. I want to show him that a hero can win, and if I'm not a hero and I'm not the savior, then what part do I have in his life? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zoso''': My life was such a burden. You'll see. Magic always comes with a price. And now, it's yours to pay. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Why me? Why me? :'''Zoso''': I know how to recognize a desperate soul. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': ''[after learning Mr. Gold planned everything that transpired during the election]'' Why did you do this? :'''Mr. Gold''': We made a deal sometime back, Miss Swan. We established that you owed me a favor. I know that can be a bad feeling. Owing someone. Now that you're sheriff, I'm sure we'll find some way for you to pay back what you owe me. === ''True North'' [1.09] === :'''Emma''': I know it's a lot. Believe me, I know. A month ago a kid shows up on my doorstep, a kid I gave up for adoption, asking for help with something. I end up moving here, ''for him''. :'''Michael Tillman''': I heard about that. It's the mayor's son. Staying in town. That's a lot different than taking him in. :'''Emma''': I don't have my kid because I don't have a ''choice''. You do. Those kids did not ask to be brought into this world. ''You'' brought them into this world. You and their mother and they ''need you''. If you choose not to take them, you are going to have to answer for that ''every day'' of your life. And sooner or later, when they find you, and believe me they ''will'' find you, you're going to have to answer to them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Queen''': I offered your children everything, whatever their hearts desired, and they still chose uncertainty because of their blind faith in you. Tell me why. Why did your children refuse me? :'''Woodcutter''': Because we're a family, and family ''always'' finds one another. === ''7:15 A.M.'' [1.10] === :'''Mary Margaret''': He comes here every morning at 7:15 A.M. to get coffee. :'''Emma''': For him and his wife. :'''Mary Margaret''': I know, I know, I know. I just like to come here to see him. :'''Emma''': So you're a stalker. :'''Mary Margaret''': No, not really. Maybe a little bit. I mean, it's not like I'm following him. I just know that he spends his mornings with Kathryn, gets coffee, drives to the animal shelter to start work at 7:30 and then he's home by 5:00. :'''Emma''': Oh... Is that all? :'''Mary Margaret''': Thursdays, they pick up Chinese for dinner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rumplestiltskin''': How much for this? :'''Snow''': Excuse me? :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Your boat. Exquisite craftsmanship. :'''Snow''': It's not for sale. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Of course it is, dearie! No one comes to see me without a deal in mind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King George''': You're going to sneak in and tell him you received his letter. You're going to tell him why you're here, because you don't love him. It'll break his heart, and that'll cure him. :'''Snow''': Or you'll kill me. :'''King George''': Oh, no. I'll kill ''him''. Killing you would just make him love you more, and the marriage and the kingdom would ultimately crumble. But if ''he'' were to die at an assassin's hand, he would die a martyr. Midas will forgive, even laud, the death, and the merger would be complete. :'''Snow''': You would do that to your own son? :'''King George''': He is ''not'' my son. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': You above all people should understand. You've lost love. What if the pain could be erased? :'''Grumpy''': I don't want my pain erased. As wretched as it is, I need my pain. It makes me who I am. It makes me Grumpy. Look around, Snow. You're not alone anymore. I promise you that's all the cure you need. If the pain is too much, you can always drink it, but for today... put it away. === ''Fruit of the Poisonous Tree'' [1.11] === :'''Sidney''': Sometimes doing a bad thing for a good reason is OK, right? :'''Mary Margaret''': Yeah. I mean, maybe you're doing something wrong, but... If it's what's meant to be, if it's what's right, does that really make you a bad person? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Genie''': In my time, I have granted 1,001 wishes. And I have seen them end poorly 1,001 times. Making a wish comes with a price. And that is why I will ''never'' use this wish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Queen''': ''[reflecting on how King Leopold still loves his first wife]'' I'm trapped by the memory of the life they used to share. :'''Genie''': I know about being trapped more than anyone. Maybe this will lift your spirits. ''[pulls out a hand mirror]'' So you can see yourself the way I see you. :'''Evil Queen''': And how do you see me? :'''Genie''': As the fairest in all the land. === ''Skin Deep'' [1.12] === :'''Belle''': You're a coward, Rumplestiltskin. And no matter how thick you make your skin, that doesn't change. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': I'm not a coward, dearie. It's quite simple, really... my power means more to me than you. :'''Belle''': No. No, it doesn't. You just don't think I can love you. Now you've made your choice. And you're going to regret it. Forever. And all you have... is an empty heart. And a chipped cup. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': Don't let these bars fool you. I'm the only one with the power around here. I'm going to be out of here in no time, and nothing between us will change. :'''Regina''': We shall see. === ''What Happened to Frederick'' [1.13] === :'''Mary Margaret''': I know it's hard, but we have to tell her the truth about everything. About us. :'''David''': I don't know if I can. :'''Mary Margaret''': But you have to. If we can't be honest with other people, how can we be honest with each other? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Covering your tracks isn't exactly your strong suit. :'''Mary Margaret''': I've been discreet! :'''Emma''': Two teacups in the sink, perfume, late nights, plunging necklines... It wasn't hard to connect the dots. :'''Mary Margaret''': Plunging? :'''Emma''': When I met you, you were a top button kind of girl. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charming''': No, this is not real love. I've felt it and this isn't it. I know the difference. :'''Siren''': Congratulations, Prince Charming. You're the first. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Abigail''': How will you know where to find her? :'''Charming''': A little bird helped me track her down once. Hopefully, it can again. === ''Dreamy'' [1.14] === :'''Bossy''': The ax never lies, Dreamy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': So, what the hell is Miner's Day and why are you beating yourself up over it? :'''Mary Margaret''': It's an annual holiday celebrating an old tradition. The nuns used to make candles and trade them to the miners for coal. :'''Emma''': Coal? In Maine? If they were mining for lobster, I'd understand. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Belle''': You're in love. :'''Bossy''': That's impossible. Dwarves can't fall in love. :'''Belle''': Trust me. I know love, and you're in it. :'''Dreamy''': What's it like? :'''Belle''': It's the most wonderful and amazing thing in the world. Love is hope. It fuels our dreams, and if you're in it, you need to enjoy it because love doesn't always last forever. === ''Red-Handed'' [1.15] === :'''Granny''': You dress like a drag queen during Fleet Week. :'''Ruby''': And you dress like Norman Bates when he dresses like Norman Bates's mother. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Granny''': You ever see a wild animal just turn its back and walk away like you don't matter? If this wolf is like that one, there is no defeating it. It's already won. Just by existing in our world. You don't kill it. You just hide. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': So, your Granny's kind of intense. :'''Red Riding Hood''': Yeah, a little. I feel like a rat in a trap. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': There's a whole lot of Maine to search, Regina. :'''Regina''': Well, you covered this room. I suggest you branch out. === ''Heart of Darkness'' [1.16] === :'''Mary Margaret''': I can't pay you. :'''Mr. Gold''': I didn't ask for money. :'''Mary Margaret''': Then why are you doing this? :'''Mr. Gold''': Let's just say, I'm invested in your future. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grumpy''': The potion you gave Snow. It changed her. She's not the same! :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Well of course it changed her. It took away her love, left a big hole in her heart. There is no cure for what she's got. The person she was? There's no way to bring her back. No potion can bring back true love. Love is the most powerful magic of all. The only magic I haven't been able to bottle. If you can bottle love, you can do anything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': ''[after Charming thwarts her assassination attempt]'' What are you doing? Why would you do this?! :'''Charming''': Well, because you said you appreciate action more than words. So now you're going to get both. I love you, Snow. :'''Snow''': But I don't love you. I don't even remember you! :'''Charming''': Well I don't care. The only thing I care about is you don't forget who you really are. I would rather die than let you fill your heart with darkness. === ''Hat Trick'' [1.17] === :'''Jefferson''': When you were in high school, did you learn about the Civil War? :'''Emma''': Yeah. Of course. :'''Jefferson''': How? Did you read about it, perchance, in a book? How is that any different, any less real, than any other book? :'''Emma''': History books are based on ''history''. :'''Jefferson''': And storybooks are based on what? Imagination. Where does that come from? It has to come from somewhere. You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution for their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic. ''[points at the hat]'' Now get it to work. :'''Emma''': Here's the thing, Jefferson. ''This'' is it. ''This'' is the real world. :'''Jefferson''': ''A'' real world. How arrogant are you to think yours is the only one? There are infinite more. You have to open your mind. They touch one another, pressing up in a long line of lands, each just as real as the last. All have theier own rules; some have magic, some don't, and some ''need'' magic. === ''The Stable Boy'' [1.18] === :'''Regina''': The murder weapon was found in your apartment. Your fingerprint was on the box containing Kathryn's heart. Shall I go on? Why not, for once, make it easier on everyone? Because confession or not, you're leaving Storybrooke. :'''Mary Margaret''': And you would like that. Why? Why do you take such pleasure in this? What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daniel''': Life with a stable boy is a far cry from being a Queen. :'''Regina''': Being a Queen is nothing. Daniel, all I care about is you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': The eagle is in the nest and the package is secure. :'''Emma''': I left the code book at home, Henry. :'''Henry''': She's getting in the shower and the keys are under the mat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cora''': You don't know what you want. But ''I'' do. I didn't make the sacrifices I did in life to get you to the cusp of greatness so that you could end up the wife of a stable boy. === ''The Return'' [1.19] === :'''Regina''': You broke our deal. :'''Mr. Gold''': I broke one deal in my life, dear, and it certainly wasn't this one. :'''Regina''': Kathryn was supposed to die and Mary Margaret was to get the blame! :'''Mr. Gold''': Yeah, but murder seems so much worse here, though doesn't it? You can't just turn someone into a snail and then step on them, can you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': Kathryn, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you. I'm sorry I cheated on you. I'm just so sorry for all of this. :'''Kathryn''': David, it's okay. What we had, it wasn't it for you. Maybe for both of us. I can't blame you for just being the first one to see it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': I know you are behind all this. I understand you own the game and that you set the board so that no one else can win, but I'm about to start playing an entirely different game. I don't care about what happens to you. I don't care what happens to me. All I care about is what happens to my kid, and you are going to leave him alone. :'''Regina''': Am I? :'''Emma''': Uh-uh. I'm talking. You're a sociopath, lady. You tried to take away someone that I love. And now I'm going to take away someone you love. I am taking back my son. === ''The Stranger'' [1.20] === :'''Mary Margaret''': Even if you can't admit what you did, I forgive you anyway. Your life must be filled with such incredible loneliness that your only joy comes from destroying everyone else's happiness. It's so sad, Mayor Mills, because despite what you think, it won't make you happy. It's only going to leave a giant hole in your heart. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': Those fairytales are not real. Miss Blanchard should never have given you that book. She should be grateful I'm not trying to get her fired. :'''Henry''': Go ahead and try. It won't work. No matter what you do, Snow White ''will'' have her happy ending. She and Prince Charming ''will'' be together. The curse ''will'' end. Good. Will. Win. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': I thought this trip was supposed to be about you. :'''August''': It is. This is my story... and it's your story. === ''An Apple Red as Blood'' [1.21] === :'''King George''': I would have given you everything: the crown, the kingdom. All you had to do was marry King Midas' daughter, but you decided to follow true love. :'''Charming''': Losing my life for love? That is a sacrifice I am ''happy'' to make. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mary Margaret''': What the hell is wrong with you? :'''Emma''': I want what's best for him! :'''Mary Margaret''': And running is what's best for him? Or is that what's best for you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': Is this always going to be our life? Taking turns finding each other. :'''Charming''': We'll be together. I know it. Have faith. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': I take that apple and he lives? That's the deal you want to make? :'''Evil Queen''': With all my heart. :'''Snow''': Then congratulations. You've won. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Henry, what are you doing? :'''Henry''': I'm sorry it had to come to this. You may not believe in the curse, or in me, but I believe in you. :''[Henry takes a bite of the apple turnover and stares at Emma]'' :'''Emma''': You see? You want to have some ice cream and then we can go back to talking about... ''[watches Henry collapse, then whispers]'' Henry? ''[shouts]'' Henry! Henry! === ''A Land Without Magic'' [1.22] === :'''Emma''': I was leaving town. Why couldn't you just leave it alone? :'''Regina''': Because as long as you're alive, Henry will ''never'' be mine! :'''Emma''': He will never be anyone's unless you fix this. You wake him up! :'''Regina''': I can't! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': Do my eyes deceive me or is that the look of a believer? :'''Emma''': We need your help. :'''Mr. Gold''': Indeed you do. It seems quite the tragic ailment has befallen our young friend. ''[turns to Regina]'' I told you magic comes with a price. :'''Regina''': Henry shouldn't have to pay it. :'''Mr. Gold''': No, you should, but alas, we are where we are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': What's happening to you? :'''August''': You can see it now. You believe. :'''Emma''': Yeah. I do. But how do I stop this? :'''August''': Break the curse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': How did you do it? :'''Charming''': With this. ''[holds up his mother's ring]'' It's my mother's ring. It... led me back to you. And now... I never want it off your finger. ''[gets down on one knee]'' Will you marry me? :'''Snow''': What do you think? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Belle''': I-I don't understand... :'''Mr. Gold''': We're in a Land Without Magic, Belle. And I'm bringing it. Magic... is coming. :'''Belle''': Why? :'''Mr. Gold''': Why? Because magic is power. == Season 2 == === ''Broken'' [2.01] === :'''Mr. Gold''': What can I do for you? :'''Emma''': What you can do is tell us what you did. :'''Mr. Gold''': I'm sorry, you're gonna have to be more specific. :'''David''': You know damned well what we're talking about. :'''Mary Margaret''': You double-crossed Emma, you took your potion from her... :'''David''': And did who knows what to this town. :'''Emma''': And worst of all, you risked Henry's life. :'''Mr. Gold''': Well, that is quite a list of grievances, now isn't it? :'''Emma''': Maybe I don't need answers. Maybe I just need to punch you in the face. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phillip''': I'm going to go collect some wood to build a fire. I'll be back in five minutes. :''[Philip kisses Aurora. She pulls away and smiles]'' :'''Aurora''': This is a "see you in five minutes" kiss? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mulan''': That thing out there is dangerous. And Philip... he left to protect you. So even if I don't believe in his methods, I'm going to honor his wishes. I'm going to keep you safe. :'''Aurora''': I never asked him to. :'''Mulan''': You never had to. Everything he does, he does for you. And now he's going to die for you. Love is sacrifice. Something ''you'' clearly don't understand. <hr width="50%"> :'''David''': Don't worry. Emma and Mary Margaret, they're alive. :'''Henry''': How do you know? :'''David''': I have faith. :'''Henry''': But... :'''David''': Henry, come here. I will find them. I will ''always'' find them. === ''We Are Both'' [2.02] === :'''Regina''': You know what? Maybe you should be less concerned about hats and more concerned about taking care of my son. :'''David''': Oh, because you took ''such'' good care of him. :'''Regina''': I will not listen to childcare lectures from a man who put his daughter in ''a box'' and shipped her to Maine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': You ruined lives! You sent away Mary Margaret and Emma. :'''Regina''': That was an accident. :'''Henry''': The way you treated me wasn't an accident. You made it so no one believed me. You made me feel like I was crazy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': David, Storybrooke David, was – ''is'' – weak, confused, and he hurt the woman I love. I wouldn't give up being Charming just to be him... but you know what? I wouldn't make the other trade either. Because that David reminds me not only of whom I lost, but of who I want to be. My weaknesses and my strengths, David and the prince. I am both. Just like you. ''You'' are both. The town is both. ''We'' are both. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': The Enchanted Forest. Our land. Does it still exist? :'''Regina''': Yes. But I have no idea how to get back there. I can see I just launched you on a heroic quest. Just make sure that you also take care of my son. :'''David''': ''That'' I can do. === ''Lady of the Lake'' [2.03] === :'''Mulan''': Have you ever seen an ogre? :'''Emma''': I'm pretty sure I've dated a few. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Red Riding Hood''': We have to move camp. They're coming for us. :'''Charming''': No! We will not run! We said we were gonna take the kingdom back and we can't do that with our tails between our legs... No offense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lancelot''': Leaving is unwise. The Enchanted Forest is not as you remember it. The ogres have returned. :'''Emma''': Ogres? Like, as in "Fee-fi-fo-fum"? :'''Mary Margaret''': Those would be giants. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mary Margaret''': ''[seeing the ruins of Emma's nursery]'' I was going to teach you how to walk in here. How to talk. How to dress for your first ball. You never got to do any of it. We never got to be a family. === ''The Crocodile'' [2.04] === :'''Hook''': Now, what are you doing aboard my ship? :'''Rumplestiltskin''': You have my wife. :'''Hook''': Well, I've had many a man's wife. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': Can I ask you a question? A-about you and Mary Margaret. H-how... How does that work? :'''David''': Are you asking dating advice? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hook''': What's our port of destination? :'''Cora''': Storybrooke. :'''Hook''': Curious name. Is that where...? :'''Cora''': She is. And so is he. :'''Hook''': Excellent. You'll be able to see your daughter. And ''I'' can skin myself a crocodile. === ''The Doctor'' [2.05] === :'''Regina''': You're the wizard? :'''Victor''': I prefer "doctor." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Whale''': ''[after David punches him in the face]'' What the hell was that for? :'''David''': Sleeping with my wife. :'''Dr. Whale''': Kathryn? :'''David''': Snow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Igor''': ''[after watching Victor resurrect his brother]'' It's magic, Dr. Frankenstein. :'''Victor''': No. Not magic. Science. === ''Tallahassee'' [2.06] === :'''Neal''': I might be a pervert, but you're definitely a car thief. <hr width=50%> :'''Emma''': Don't you have a family? :'''The Giant''': No! Because humans killed them all. <hr width=50%> :'''August''': Think of me as Emma's guardian angel. :'''Neal''': Guardian angel? I'd say you've been doing a pretty crap job. <hr width=50%> :'''Henry''': ''[telling David about his nightmare]'' I wa- I was in this room. And... and it was red. And there was no doors, no windows. And these curtains... And they were on fire. And... I was in this corner. And... and, and, and I was looking up. And there was someone else there. She was staring at me through the flames. Th-then I woke up, and... :'''David''': Hey. Don't worry, all right? It was just a bad dream. === ''Child of the Moon'' [2.07] === :'''Anita''': I know how to recognize a Child of the Moon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Belle''': You have wolf hearing too? :'''Granny''': It's not all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you run a hotel. === ''Into the Deep'' [2.08] === :'''David''': You sure you're OK to do this, kid? :'''Henry''': I was born to do this. I'm done reading about heroes. I wanna be one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mulan''': I vowed to Prince Phillip to protect you, not to help some strangers find a portal to another land. :'''Aurora''': Mulan, I was cursed to spend eternity in that horrible sleep. And the only reason I'm here is because you and Phillip risked your lives to save me. Every day since my waking has been a gift, so let me do something with it. It's my turn to help someone else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cora''': ''[after learning Hook failed to acquire the compass]'' Who was it who bested you? :'''Hook''': The Swan girl. Emma. Rest assured it won't happen again. :'''Cora''': No, it won't. You chose her... and the consequences of that decision. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': Smells funny. :'''Regina''': I know, sweetheart. It's a curse. It's not meant to be pleasant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': You really think we're gonna make it back? :'''Mary Margaret''': If there's one thing your father's taught me, it's not to give up. === ''Queen of Hearts'' [2.09] === :'''Cora''': I'm the Queen of Hearts, do you really think I'd be so careless as to keep my heart where everyone else does? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Your mom. She's a piece of work, you know? :'''Regina''': Indeed I do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': You did it. :'''Mary Margaret''': Did you ever doubt I would? :'''David''': No. ''[kisses her]'' Though the burning red room did give me pause. === ''The Cricket Game'' [2.10] === :'''Evil Queen''': ''[speaking before her execution]'' I know I'm being judged for my past, a past where I've caused pain, a past where I've inflicted misery, a past where I've even brought death. When I look back at everything I've done, I want you all to know what I feel, and that is regret... regret that I was not able to cause more pain, inflict more misery, and bring about more death. And above all else, with every ounce of my being, I regret that I was not able to kill Snow White! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': Doctor? ''Doctor''?! Need I remind you got your PhD from a curse? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cora''': It may take some work, but this cricket ''will'' chirp. === ''The Outsider'' [2.11] === :'''Hook''': I've always wanted to dissect a cricket. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': You plotting your escape from [[The Shawshank Redemption|Shawshank]], kid? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Leroy''': There's a whole world full of people beyond the town line that don't know who, or ''what'', we are. Ever think of what might happen if one of them were to come pay us a visit? === ''In The Name Of the Brother'' [2.12] === :'''Emma''': You hurt Belle. :'''Hook''': I hurt his heart. Belle's just where he keeps it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ruby''': Regina thought she was punishing us by erasing who we were, but I think she underestimated how much crap we wanted to forget. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Victor''': I will bring you back, my brother. I promise. === ''Tiny'' [2.13] === :'''Anton''': It's Anton. :'''Abraham''': But you're just so damn tiny, Tiny <hr width=50%> :'''Leroy''': So you got a twin brother whose name is James? But your name is James! :'''David''': Actually, it's not. :'''Leroy''': Charming, then? :'''Mary Margaret''': No, that's the nickname I gave him. :'''Leroy''': So what the hell is your name? :'''David''': David! :'''Leroy''': Your cursed name? :'''David''': My real name! :'''Leroy''': What, you're David, James ''and'' Charming, and David's like a middle name? :'''David''': No, it's my ''name'' name! :'''Leroy''': You know what? I'll call you whatever I damn well please! Is that okay? :'''David''': Sure, Leroy! === ''Manhattan'' [2.14] === :'''Rumplestiltskin''': You know, I've lived under the shadow of my father's actions for far too long now. :'''Milah''': Just because your father was a coward doesn't mean you are. <hr width=50%> :'''Henry''': Why are you so nervous? When I found my mom, I was excited. :'''Mr. Gold''': Because I have the benefit of a little more... life experience. I know that things don't always happen the way we want them to. :'''Henry''': Sure. But in my book, it says that you can see the future. Why can't you just look and see what's going to happen? :'''Mr. Gold''': Well, that ability is complicated. I didn't always have it. And then when I did, well … it's maybe not the gift one would expect. Seeing the inevitable can be a terrible price. :'''Henry''': But you wouldn't have to worry about stuff. You'd just know. :'''Mr. Gold''': But that's the great trap. The future is like a puzzle. With missing pieces. Difficult to read. And never, ''never'' what you think. <hr width=50%> :'''Emma''': Are you telling me that us meeting was a coincidence? How the hell did that happen if it wasn't in your plan or your father's?! :'''Neal''': Think about it. He wanted you to break the curse. Us meeting... That could've stopped it. Maybe it was fate. :'''Emma''': You believe in that? :'''Neal''': You know, there's not a ton I remember about my father that doesn't suck. But he used to tell me that there are no coincidences. Everything that happens happens by design... and there's ''nothing'' we can do about it. <hr width=50%> :'''The Seer''': ''[after Rumplestiltskin takes her powers]'' As gratitude, I offer you one piece of the puzzle. You ''will'' be reunited with your son. And it will come in a most unexpected way. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': How? :'''The Seer''': A boy. A young boy will lead you to him. But beware, Rumplestiltskin, for that boy is more than he appears. He will lead you to what you seek. But there will be a price. The boy... will be your undoing. :''[The Seer collapses and dies]'' :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Then I'll just have to kill him. === ''The Queen Is Dead'' [2.15] === :'''Mary Margaret''': Listening to your mother is a mistake, Regina. :'''Regina''': Because listening to you'll work out so much better! <hr width=50%> :'''Emma''': You're dying. And right now, we are your best hope. Time's come for you to start trusting someone. And if I were you, I'd start with family. <hr width=50%> :'''Young Snow White''': Please don't leave me. :'''Queen Eva''': As long as you hold the spirit of goodness in your heart, I shall ''never'' leave you. <hr width=50%> :'''Cora''': ''[speaking to Queen Eva's corpse]'' You raised her well. My daughter doesn't love me the way yours does you. Snow would've been a great ruler someday, but that'll never happen because ''my'' daughter will be queen. And all yours will be left with is knowing how I've felt... how it feels to be the miller's daughter. I'll turn Snow White's heart black as coal. That candle won't be her final test. And once I've darkened her soul, it won't just be you I've destroyed. It'll be your legacy. === ''The Miller's Daughter'' [2.16] === :'''King Xavier''': You're just a miller's daughter. :'''Cora''': I am so much more. <hr width=50%> :'''Emma''': I can't cast a spell. I can ''spell'' "spell." :'''Mr. Gold''': You ''can''. It's in you. :'''Emma''': Well, how? Here? Like from my brain? :'''Mr. Gold''': Just try. ''[Emma starts to concentrate her thoughts]'' Stop thinking! Conjuring magic is not an intellectual endeavor. It's emotion. You must ask yourself: "Why am I doing this? Who am I protecting?" ''Feel'' it. ''[Emma has a visionary experience and successfully casts a protection spell]'' Oh, yeah, you feel it. <hr width=50%> :'''Belle''': Mr. Gold. I told you before... I don't remember you. :'''Mr. Gold''': I know, I know. It's just… Sweetheart, I'm… I'm dying. :'''Belle''': Oh. I'm … I'm so sorry. :'''Mr. Gold''': I know that your confused about who you are. Now I'm going to tell you. You are a hero who helped her people. You are a beautiful woman who loved an ugly man. Really, ''really'' loved me. You find goodness in others, and, when it's not there, you create it. You make me want to go back. Back to the best version of me. And that never happened before. So when you look in the mirror and you don't know who you are, ''that's'' who you are. <hr width=50%> :'''Cora''': ''[after Regina returns her now-cursed heart into her chest]'' ''This'' would have been enough. You... you would have been enough. === ''Welcome to Storybrooke'' [2.17] === :'''Kurt Flynn''': Who are you? What is this place? :'''Sheriff Graham''': Name's Graham. I'm the sheriff. Welcome to Storybrooke. <hr width=50%> :'''Mary Margaret''': How do you do it? :'''Mr. Gold''': Do what? :'''Mary Margaret''': Live with yourself, knowing all the bad things you've done? :'''Mr. Gold''': Well, you tell yourself you did the right thing. And, if you say it often enough, one day you might actually believe it. <hr width=50%> :'''Mr. Gold''': Cora is a very dangerous women because she doesn't have a heart. Regina is even more dangerous because she ''does''. === ''Selfless, Brave and True'' [2.18] === :'''Emma''': What are you thinking? :'''Neal''': What do you mean? :'''Emma''': I mean, what are you going to tell her when she sees a giant or a werewolf run past her down Main Street? Between Greg Mendell, our food-obsessed tourist, and now your fiancee...this town is turning into a theme-park! <hr width=50%> :'''The Dragon''': What I create is not from this world. Because the people who need my help suffer from afflictions that science cannot treat. People like the man you stole that from. :'''Tamara''': I didn't steal ''anything''. I paid for what's in this bottle. But, now that I have it, I can't risk anyone else finding you. ''[turns to face him, a taser in her hands]'' It was nice meeting you. :'''The Dragon''': You haven't met me. At least not the ''real'' me. === ''Lacey'' [2.19] === :'''Mr. Gold''': Brown hair. Beautiful blue eyes. An accent you wouldn't soon forget. Her name is Belle. :'''Bartender''': Belle? Are... are you sure? 'Cause that sounds an awful hell like Lacey. :'''Mr. Gold''': Who the hell is Lacey? === ''The Evil Queen'' [2.20] === :'''Evil Queen''': When she is gone, when Snow is dead, then they will see my kindness. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Yes, through the charred remains of their homes. I'm sure ''that'' will be perfectly clear. <hr width=50%> :'''Evil Queen''': The Queen is dead. Long live the Evil Queen. === ''Second Star to the Right'' [2.21] === :'''Wendy Darling''': He's coming back tonight to take one of my brothers in my place. You said magic was bad, and you were right, Bae. It's going to destroy my family. === ''And Straight On 'Til Morning'' [2.22] === :'''Greg Mendell''': We came here to destroy magic, Henry, but then we found something more important. Something that changed everything. ''You''. == Season 3 == === ''The Heart of the Truest Believer'' [3.01] === :'''Henry''': Why did you bring me here? :'''Peter Pan''': For quite some time, I've sought something extremely important. Something more elusive than the greatest of all mysteries. :'''Henry''': What? :'''Peter Pan''': The heart of the truest believer. And when you took that pixie dust, Henry, and jumped off that cliff, you proved yourself. You are the lucky owner of that very special heart. And now you, and it, are mine. === ''Lost Girl'' [3.02] === :'''Emma Swan''': Where's Henry? :'''Peter Pan''': You've got fire. I like fire. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hook''': Tell me something, luv. In these stories, what was I like? Other than a villain. Handsome, I gather. :'''Emma Swan''': If waxed mustaches and perms are your thing. :'''Hook''': I take it that perms are bad? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': That look in his eyes, the despair, I had it. Back when I was in the foster system. Just a lost little girl who didn't matter. Who didn't think she ever would. A little girl who cried herself to sleep every night 'cause she wanted her parents so bad and could never understand why they gave her up. :'''Mary Margaret''': And then you found us. And it was too late. :'''Emma''': It's just on this island, I... I don't feel like a hero or a savior. I just feel like what I've always been. An orphan. === ''Quite a Common Fairy'' [3.03] === :'''Blue Fairy''': Green, this is not a woman you can help. She is surrounded by darkness. :'''Tinker Bell''': Sounds to me like she's exactly someone who could use help. Maybe if you let me have some pixie dust... :'''Blue Fairy''': Not a chance. You fly away from this one, Green. :'''Tinker Bell''': My name isn't "Green." It's Tinker Bell. And I can't believe you want me to ignore someone who needs help. It's not very fairy-like. === ''Nasty Habits'' [3.04] === :'''Mr. Gold''': Self-preservation has been a nasty habit I've had my whole life. === ''Good Form'' [3.05] === :'''David''': I had a brother too, you know. A twin. He died before I ever met him. :'''Hook''': There were two of you? I can barely stomach one. :'''David''': Well, you would have liked him. He was a thief and a liar. :'''Hook''': Yeah, you would have liked my brother. He could be a stubborn ass. <hr width='50%'> :'''Pan''': What, you think that kiss actually meant something? :'''Hook''': I do. I think it means she's finally starting to see me for the man I am. :'''Pan''': What? A one-handed pirate with a drinking problem? I'm no grown-up, but I'm pretty sure that's less than appealing. === ''Ariel'' [3.06] === :'''Snow White''': ''[after Ariel saves her from drowning]'' Thank you. :'''Ariel''': No problem. You might wanna try diving in calmer waters next time. :''[Snow White looks down at the water and notices Ariel has a tail]'' :'''Snow White''': You're a... :'''Ariel''': Yeah. I'm a mermaid. Name's Ariel. === ''Dark Hollow'' [3.07] === :'''Hook''': What's our next stop on this mission? :'''Neal Cassidy''': Dark Hollow. :'''Emma Swan''': Really? Why couldn't it be called something like Sunshine Valley or Rainbow Cove? === ''Think Lovely Thoughts'' [3.08] === :'''Malcolm''': When I was a boy, my father sold me to a blacksmith. All day in front of hot coals, the sweat and the grime. But every night I would say to myself: "Think lovely thoughts!" And in my sleep, I would travel to the most wonderful place. :'''Young Rumplestiltskin''': What was it called? :'''Malcolm''': Neverland <hr width='50%'> :'''Henry''': I know all magic comes with a price. Saving magic must come with a price too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Regina''': You better come through, Gold, or I'll make whatever Pan has planned for you look like child's play. You understand me? :'''Mr. Gold''': Well, a simple "good luck" would have sufficed. === ''Save Henry'' [3.09]=== :'''Adoption Agent''': I've never heard of Storybrooke. :'''Regina''': It's a hidden gem. Peaceful. Perfect for children. It's like a fairy tale. You should come visit sometime. :'''Adoption Agent''': I get two weeks off a year, and all due with respect, Sandals has an inclusive buffet. You got that in Storybrooke? :'''Regina''': I'm afraid not. <hr width='50%'> :'''Peter Pan''': Last words from the Queen? Perhaps a deathbed confession from the one who has the most to regret of all? :'''Regina''': Yeah, there's one problem with that. I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population. I have tortured and murdered. I've done some terrible things. I should be overflowing with regret... but I'm ''not''. Because it got me my son. <hr width='50%'> :'''Regina''': ''[talking to an infant Henry as she prepares a memory potion]'' It's all right. If the Queen drinks the potion, she won't forget her child. She'll only forget her worries. Her troubles. Her fears. And with those gone, she and her prince can indeed finally live happily ever after. === ''The New Neverland'' [3.10]=== :'''Snow White''': ''[after telling David she was using their honeymoon as a cover to find Medusa]'' You aren't mad, are you? :'''Prince Charming''': I fell in love with you on a troll bridge after you robbed me and hit me over the head with a rock. I knew what I was getting myself into. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hook''': I made a decision when it comes to Emma. I'm going to back off. :'''Neal''': Back off? :'''Hook''': For the sake of the boy. Let his parents have a fair shot. Without a devilishly handsome pirate standing in the way. :'''Neal''': You serious? :'''Captain Hook''': Yeah. I *am* dangerously handsome. <hr width='50%'> :'''Emma''': Sure you don't have other reasons for pushing me toward Neal? :'''David''': Like what? :'''Emma''': I don't know. Keeping me away from Hook? :'''David''': You think I'm interested in Hook? Emma, I'm a married man. <hr width='50%'> :'''Peter Pan''': ''[in Henry's body]'' Everyone will forget who they are. Time will stand still. And Felix, we will be in charge. :'''Felix''': This whole place? :'''Peter Pan''': Yes. And when we're done with it, it's going to be the new Neverland. === ''Going Home'' [3.11] === :''[Pan stands before the immobilized Emma, Snow, David, Henry, Regina, Belle, Neal, and Granny.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': Look at you all. A captive audience. I could play with you like a pack of dolls, couldn't I? I think I'll start with these two. ''[Approaches Belle and Neal]'' You both look so adorable. Hard to tell who to kill first. ''[Turns to Neal]'' No, it isn't. ''[Points at Neal]'' You. You first. :''[Gold appears, grabs Pan by his left shoulder, and pulls him away from Belle and Neal.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Stay away from them. :'''Peter Pan''': How about this? The worm has teeth. You're here to protect their "loved ones". :'''Mr. Gold''': I'm not gonna let you touch either one of them. :'''Peter Pan''': Oh, I'd like to see that. :'''Mr. Gold''': Oh, you will. Because I have a job to finish, and I have to do whatever it takes. No loopholes. And what needs to be done has a price. A price I'm finally willing to pay. ''[Turns to Neal]'' I used the curse to find you, Bae, to tell you I made a mistake. To make sure you had a chance at happiness. And that happiness is possible. Just not with me. I accept that. :'''Peter Pan''': Pretty, pretty words. :'''Mr. Gold''': I love you, Bae. ''[Turns to Belle]'' And I love you, Belle, you made me stronger. :'''Peter Pan''': Stronger, yes. But still, no magic. :'''Mr. Gold''': Oh, but I don't need it. You see, you may have lost your shadow, but there's one thing you're forgetting. :'''Peter Pan''': And what's that? :'''Mr. Gold''': So have I. I sent it away with something to hide. :''[Gold raises his hand into the air and summons his shadow, who arrives with the Dark One's Dagger and gives it to Gold. As the shadow goes back into Gold, he gets Pan in a bear hug.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': What are you doing?! :'''Mr. Gold''': You see, the only way for you to die is if we both die. And now&ndash; now I'm ready! :''[Gold stabs Pan in the back. Pan transforms into Malcolm.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Hello, Papa. :'''Malcolm''': Rumple, please. You can stop this. Remove the dagger. We can start over. We can have a happy ending. :'''Mr. Gold''': Ah, but I'm a villain. And villains don't get happy endings. :''[Gold twists the dagger on Malcolm's back, causing a bright glow to erupt from the blade. As Malcolm starts groaning in pain, Gold places a kiss on his cheek. The light engulfs them and they disappear. The immobilization spell on Emma, Snow, David, Regina, Henry, Belle, Neal, and Granny wears off. As Emma, Snow, David, Regina, Henry, Neal, and Granny stand in shock over seeing Gold and Pan disappear, Belle collapses to her knees crying.]'' ---- :'''Blue Fairy''': Good luck, Snow. Have faith. :'''Snow White''': That's easy to say when you have magic wings and a wand. ---- :'''Regina''': Henry, I was wrong, too. It wasn't your fault. It's mine. I cast the curse out of vengeance. And I'm... I'm the villain. You heard Mr. Gold. Villains don't get happy endings. :'''Henry''': You're not a villain. You're my mom. === ''New York City Serenade'' [3.12]=== :'''The Wicked Witch of the West''': The Queen may be Evil, but I'm Wicked. And Wicked ''always'' wins. === ''Witch Hunt'' [3.13] === :'''Red Riding Hood''': Seems like old times, doesn't it? Except, not running from Regina, but with her. :'''Snow White''': She's changed. I have to believe for the better. :'''Red Riding Hood''': I hope it sticks. But regardless, she doesn't look too good. If she hadn't tried to hurt us so many times, I might be worried about her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grumpy''': ''[after Regina concludes the Wicked Witch is occupying her palace]'' We talking East or West? :'''Snow White''': Does it matter? Neither one sounds good. :'''Grumpy''': Well, one you drop a house on, the other you toss a bucket of water at. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': As you said, I just needed to find something to live for. :'''Robin''': And you found it? What? :'''Regina''': The one thing I haven't had in a ''very'' long time. Someone to destroy. === ''The Tower'' [3.14] === :'''Regina''': When we face our deepest fears, our true courage comes out. When you used the hilt of your sword to vanquish your fears, your courage transferred into it. :'''David''': Why did it disappear? :'''Regina''': It ''didn't'' disappear. She took it. === ''Quiet Minds'' [3.15] === :'''Emma''': I almost married a monster from Oz. It's hilarious. :'''Neal''': I almost married a minion of my evil grandfather, Peter Pan, so... I know what you're saying. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robin''': Apologies, m'lady. I thought you were the Wicked Witch. :'''Regina''': And I thought ''you'' were a flying monkey. === ''It's Not Easy Being Green'' [3.16] === :'''Regina''': This isn't the Wild West. :'''Zelena''': No, dear. It's the Wicked West. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': And you're sure Cora never said anything about her? :'''Regina''': I think I would remember if my mother told me she had a love child with a scarecrow. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Walsh''': You're evil. :'''Zelena''': Not evil, dear. ''Wicked''. === ''The Jolly Roger'' [3.17]=== :'''Emma''': Hook's good with Henry and Henry likes him. :'''Regina''': He's prone to violence, impulsive... ''and'' has a hook for a hand. What about him would a twelve-year-old boy wouldn't like? === ''Bleeding Through'' [3.18]=== :'''Mary Margaret''': I killed Cora. She sensed my presence and found a way to bleed through into our world. === ''A Curious Thing'' [3.19]=== :'''Snow''': It's happening again. I'm about to give birth, and an evil sorceress is threatening the future of my child. :'''Regina''': To be fair, the first time I was threatening you. Everyone else just became collateral damage. :'''Grumpy''': Remind me again why we forgave her? :'''Regina''': Because I'm helping! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': ''[discussing with Snow and Charming about Zelena enacting the Dark Curse]'' To do it, you have to give up the thing you love most. From what I gather, Zelena doesn't love much. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grumpy''': Wait. You want to sneak into Rumple's castle where he's being held captive by the Wicked Witch? Name's Grumpy, not ''Stupid''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charming''': Why do women keep their shoeboxes? :'''Snow''': Because, after True Love, there is no more powerful magic than footwear. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charming''': We've always shared one heart. It'll only grow strong when you look at that baby's face... and see the love I have for you in its eyes. :'''Snow''': I've loved you since the first moment I saw you. :'''Charming''': And I'll love you until my last. === ''Kansas'' [3.20] === :'''Dorothy''': Y-you mean this isn't Kansas? :'''Glinda''': I'm afraid not. Welcome to Oz. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zelena''': I can do anything. :'''Gold''': Whether it works or not is irrelevant, dearie. Because, no matter what you change of your past, one thing shall remain the same: who you are. And that is a fate you can never escape. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': Once upon a time you were a villain, Mom. But you've changed. You're a hero now. And defeating bad guys is what heroes do. I believe in you. Now, you need to believe, too. === ''Snow Drifts'' [3.21] === === ''There's No Place Like Home'' [3.22] === :'''Belle''': Rumplestiltskin, this thing we have, it's...it's never been easy. I've... I've lost you so many times. I've lost you to darkness, to weakness, and finally, to death. But now I realize... I realize that I have not spent my life losing you. I've spent my life finding you. :'''Gold''': Belle, when we met, I wasn't just unloved and unloving. I was an enemy of love. Love only brought me pain. My walls were up. But you brought them down. You brought me home. You brought life into my life and chased away all the darkness. And I vow to you I will never forget the distance between what I was and what I am. I owe more to you than I can ever say. How you can see the man behind the monster I will never know. :'''Belle''': But that monster is gone. And the man beneath him may be flawed, but we all are. And I love you for it. Sometimes the best book has the dustiest jacket. And sometimes the best teacup is chipped. == Season 4 == === ''A Tale of Two Sisters'' [4.01]=== :'''Elsa''': Please. I want to be alone. :'''Anna''': You have a sister. You're never gonna be alone. Other than when I'm not around, but even then, I'll be there in spirit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': ''[talking to Regina after she saves Marian's life]'' Henry brought me to Storybrooke to bring back the happy endings. My job is not done until I do that for everyone. Including you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marian''': If you had a family of your own, if you had love, you'd know you shouldn't do this. You wouldn't have to be so cruel. :'''Evil Queen''': Don't you tell me what I do or don't understand. I know who I am and what I want. And right now... it's your head on a spike. === ''White Out'' [4.02]=== :'''Mary Margaret''': I've had eight hours of sleep in the last week, I am breastfeeding, and I am exhausted! I don't need this. I may have cast a little curse, but I did ''not'' ask to maintain a metropolitan electrical grid. And, get this, I am starting to get why Regina was evil. It wasn't her! It was ''you''! You have survived your entire lives without lightbulbs! Buy a flashlight! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Aren't you cold? I'm freezing. :'''Elsa''': It's never bothered me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': You can give up on yourself, but I'm not gonna give up on you. And I'm not gonna go away just because you told me to! I belong here, and I'm gonna come back every day because this is my house, too! And I miss my room! === ''Rocky Road'' [4.03]=== :'''Hans''': This is the guy she's to marry? :'''Kristoff''': In fairness, ''I'' never tried to kill her. :'''Hans''': I didn't try to kill her. I just left her to die. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hook''': Don't make a man drink alone. :'''Emma''': Not in the mood for a drink. Or a man. === ''The Apprentice'' [4.04]=== :'''Zoso''': You are not the Sorcerer. :'''The Apprentice''': No. I am his apprentice. And you are not the first Dark One I have faced. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hook''': ''[after Emma asks him out on a date]'' Shouldn't I be the one asking you out? :'''Emma''': Should have known you'd be old-fashioned, given your age. What are you, like three hundred? :'''Hook''': Curses and Neverland may have given me experience. But, as you can see, I've retained my youthful glow. ===''Breaking Glass'' [4.05]=== :'''Elsa''': What are you gonna do? :'''Ingrid''': I'm going to build a snowman. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': Intentionally or not, Ms. Swan, ''you'' brought Marian back. You ruined my life. And there is ''no'' coming back from that. Because I know you think you didn't mean to, but you hurt someone. So do as I do. Learn to live with it. ===''Family Business'' [4.06]=== :'''Ingrid''': ''[speaking to Belle after Anna slips and falls to the ground unconscious]'' You'll have to excuse us, but this is family business. ===''The Snow Queen'' [4.07]=== :'''Will''': If you love someone enough to ruin your entire life for, it's always worth it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': I'm going to give you a potion that possesses the power to transform something old into something new. :'''Henry''': What kind of potion's that? :'''Mr. Gold''': Furniture polish. ===''Smash the Mirror'' [4.08]=== :'''Mary Margaret''': Your stories went poorly because you made bad choices. But... now you're making good ones. It may not happen as quickly as you want, but, if you stay the course, your happiness will come. :'''Regina''': You honestly believe that? :'''Mary Margaret''': It doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is that ''you'' do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elsa''': I was wrong. It wasn't just Anna's love that saved me. :'''Emma''': What are you talking about? :'''Elsa''': When I landed in this strange town, I was certain that, without Anna, I was doomed. But I got control over my powers again without her. :'''Emma''': How? :'''Elsa''': I didn't really know until today, until the same thing happened to you, and then it finally hit me. It's not only Anna's love or Henry's that can save us. They accept us for who we are, and that's important. But it's not enough. It's on us, too. You have to love yourself, Emma. The good ''and'' the bad. The only way to ever truly be in control of your powers is to embrace them. Because this... This is who you are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': Your strange fixation really holds no interest for me. :'''Ingrid''': Oh, but it should. And it will. You see, these ribbons were of no use to me until this moment. They can bond three magical sisters together, but only if all of us are a perfect match. :'''Mr. Gold''': And what makes for this perfect match? :'''Ingrid''': When all three have embraced their powers, which we now have, thanks to you. Now, I wield the magic of my three sisters. Now, my mirror is complete. And with this power, I can finally cast a spell over all of Storybrooke. I could probably even defeat you and decorate this place with your bones. Shall I try? :'''Mr. Gold''': Dearie, I warn you. Do not overestimate your power. :'''Ingrid''': And I warn you. ''Don't'' underestimate it. ===''Fall'' [4.09]=== :'''Regina''': By sundown, everyone in this town will start tearing each other apart. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': If I have to choose between everyone else and me, me wins every time. ===''Shattered Sight'' [4.10]=== :'''Mary Margaret''': You do know me. I pick flowers, I talk to birds, I do all kind of warm fuzzy things. You know what else? I kill. That's right, Snow White's a murderer. I killed the Evil Queen's mommy, and then I said I was sorry... And I didn't mean it. :'''Anna''': That's horrible. :'''Mary Margaret''': Still wanna hold hands, sing "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': I'm not happy with my mom dating a dirty pirate like you. :'''Hook''': Dirty? I bathe quite regularly I'll have you know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ingrid''': ''[after realizing she has always had her sisters' love]'' I am a monster. Not because of my powers, but because of what I let them turn me into. I have to undo this. :'''Elsa''': No, Ingrid. You'll die. :'''Ingrid''': I know. It's okay. Elsa, Anna, you found each other. And, Emma, you found your family. Even if it wasn't with me. You... You deserve your memories. ''[returns Elsa and Emma's lost memories with a wave of her hand]'' You three are so special. ''Never'' forget that. :'''Emma''': There has to be another way. You deserve your happy ending too. :'''Ingrid''': Long ago, a prophecy told me that you would lead me to just that, Emma. And this is it. All I wanted was to have my sisters' love, and now I have it. Now I get to join them. ===''Heroes and Villains'' [4.11]=== :'''Regina''': I'm not in the mood for a hope speech, Emma. :'''Emma''': You mistake me for my mother. Besides, you don't need a speech. You need a drinking buddy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ursula''': So, ''this'' is what a man who always wins looks like. :'''Mr. Gold''': I assure you, Ursula, my situation is only temporary. :'''Ursula''': Really? How you gonna fix that? Play the lotto? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cruella''': Whatever you're up to, it'll never work. The game is rigged. The villains ''never'' win. Why don't you join us? Perhaps we can change the game together. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': You severely underestimate me, dearie. I ''always'' win. And I win alone. I certainly don't need to join you "Queens of Darkness". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marian''': I see the way you two look at one another. And I understand. For me, it's only a short time that I've been away. But for him, years have passed. His heart moved on. He's in love with you, Regina. And I think that you're in love with him. :'''Regina''': Well, it doesn't really matter. He's a man of honor. He made a vow to you, and he's going to keep it. :'''Marian''': I don't want him to be with me out of obligation. I want to be chosen. If his heart leads him to me, fine. But if it does what I suspect and leads to you... I will step out of the way. ===''Darkness on the Edge of Town'' [4.12]=== :'''Cruella''': Now, who's going to tell me what the hell I'm doing in this ghastly place? :'''Maleficent''': Lovely question. Because this "ghastly place" is my home. And I didn't ask for any visitors. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rumplestiltskin''': We all have something in common... apart from mutual distaste. We're villains. And it's time the villains got their happy endings. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': Our collective frustrations are because of his will, not our missteps. :'''Cruella''': I suppose that's better than blaming bad judgement and gin. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maleficent''': ''[about to face the Chernabog]'' You want darkness? I'll give you darkness! <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': We gotta talk. :'''Cruella''': Oh, so the Prince wants a chat? Okay, handsome. Talk. :'''Mary Margaret''': This is our town. Now, if you've really turned over a new leaf, you're welcome to stay. :'''Ursula''': My, aren't we generous? :'''Mary Margaret''': On one condition. ''No one'' must ever know what happened between us in the Enchanted Forest. And if you say one single word to anyone, especially Emma...Well, you won't have to worry about the Evil Queen. I'll rip out your hearts myself. ===''Unforgiven'' [4.13]=== :'''Belle''': One wrong move, and you'll be hopping out of here as toads. Are you here to try kidnapping me again? :'''Cruella''': Did we do that? They all blur together. ===''Enter the Dragon'' [4.14]=== :'''Regina''': ''[after seeing that Emma, David and Hook are accompanying Mary Margaret]'' I said we should meet covertly. Not only are you here, you brought the entire Charming softball team and their pirate mascot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maleficent''': Sorry we couldn't stay to clean up. Have fun last night? :'''Regina''': Last night? Yes. This morning? No. ===''Poor Unfortunate Soul'' [4.15]=== :'''Hook''': Your voice can soothe even the most haunted soul. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ursula''': Never go up against a woman who has eight hands, especially when you only have one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hook''': Maybe she was right. Maybe villains can't get their happy endings. :'''Ariel''': Maybe that's because villains always go about getting them the wrong way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Poseidon''': Every time I heard you sing, I heard your mother. And it was too painful. I let that pain fuel my desire for vengeance, but it shouldn't have. It should have reminded me that I still had a piece of her. ''You''. ===''Best Laid Plans'' [4.16]=== :'''Ursula''': The least that Maleficent could have done for her guards is to throw a little dragon's fire our way. :'''Cruella''': If I'd known it was this cold, darling, I would have grabbed two more puppies and made mittens. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Apprentice''': If you wish me to perform this magic, you must secure such a vessel. Discuss this amongst yourselves. Make sure you want to proceed. Because once this spell has been enacted, it ''cannot'' be reversed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mary Margaret''': I'm your mother. :'''Emma''': I don't care. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Snow''': Do you really think that redemption is possible? :'''Charming''': Yes. I have to believe we can earn forgiveness. A chance at grace. But to get there, we have to be the best people we can. Work, spread hope and faith every day. Because, otherwise, what we did will stain us forever. === ''Heart of Gold'' [4.17] === :'''Regina''': You turned me into a monster. I won't let you do the same thing to Emma. :'''Mr. Gold''': Is ''that'' your final answer? You're choosing the Savior over your beloved Robin Hood? ===''Sympathy For the De Vil'' [4.18]=== :'''Cruella''': Some people struggle not to be drawn in to the darkness. But ever since I was a little girl, I've said... "Why not splash in and have fun?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maleficent''': We need to talk. :'''Cruella''': Good thing I had my brakes serviced, darling. I do hate having blood on the car. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': You're acting like a petulant child. Your parents did a bad thing. They apologized. Now get over it. :'''Emma''': Forgive me if I don't take advice from the woman who held a grudge for half her life because a ten-year-old spilled a secret. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Madeline''': ''[seeing Cruella use her newfound powers on her dalmatians]'' What did you do to them? :'''Cruella''': I simply taught them a new command: Kill. ===''Lily'' [4.19]=== :'''Emma''': Every time I let Lily in, she rips apart my life. ===''Mother'' [4.20]=== :'''Regina''': You didn't know our mother, Zelena, but I did. And yet we both suffered. ===''Operation Mongoose Part 1'' [4.21]=== :'''Henry''': I'm trying to help you. :'''Regina''': Help me what? :'''Henry''': Find your happy ending. In my world, we called it "Operation Mongoose". ===''Operation Mongoose Part 2'' [4.22]=== :'''Henry''': ''[writing his first story as the Author]'' Thanks to the hero Regina's sacrifice, Isaac's villainous work was undone. == Season 5 == === ''The Dark Swan'' [5.01]=== === ''The Price'' [5.02]=== :'''Regina''': I should be figuring out how to free Merlin, not fox-trotting away across Club Med-ieval. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': ''[after Regina blames her for sending the Fury to attack Robin]'' I did not summon that monster. The price is not mine to pay. :'''Regina''': Then whose is it? :'''Emma''': Yours. You are the one who did not pay the price of magic in Camelot. You want to save Robin Hood? You want everyone to believe you're the Savior? Then step up and do what needs to be done! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rumplestiltskin''': ''[after Emma fails to remove Excalibur from the stone]'' Did you really think it would be that simple, dearie? If you want that sword, you're gonna have to pay the price. === ''Siege Perilous'' [5.03]=== :'''Leroy''': I know Dopey's a tree, but we got to be more productive since he can't. :'''Happy''': He's producing oxygen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zelena''': This child could be my only chance for someone to truly love me, and... You got a second chance. Why can't I? :'''Regina''': I'm sorry. But you've had a second chance. And a second ''second'' chance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Gold''': ''[after realizing the Darkness has fully consumed Emma]'' What do you want from me? You're the Dark One now. Not me. :'''Emma''': That's right. You are not dark. You are also not light. You are ''nothing''. Your heart is a blank slate. And that, little man, makes you useful. === ''The Broken Kingdom'' [5.04]=== :'''Kay''': They call Camelot "The Broken Kingdom" because we have no king, and we never will. ===''Dreamcatcher'' [5.05]=== :'''Regina''': You really think giving the dagger to Arthur is the best way to help Emma? :'''Mary Margaret''': We trust him. :'''David''': Implicitly. :'''Regina''': Did you learn those big words at shepherd school? ===''The Bear and the Bow'' [5.06]=== :'''Merida''': I refused to believe a bow was just something my mother tied to my curly locks. ===''Nimue'' [5.07]=== ===''Birth'' [5.08]=== :'''Zelena''': Your insane girlfriend sped up my pregnancy, kidnapped me right after giving birth, and separated me from my little girl. And they say ''I'm'' wicked. ===''The Bear King'' [5.09]=== :'''King Fergus''': You don't have to worry about me, lass. I'm the Bear King. I faced Mor'du. I can handle whatever the Southern invaders throw at us. ===''Broken Heart'' [5.10]=== ===''Swan Song'' [5.11]=== :'''Brennan Jones''': Remember, whenever you feel scared, all you have to do is look inside. We're all braver than we think if we just look deep enough. Before you know it, you're gonna be a man, so I'm just trying to prepare you. 'Cause then, you're gonna have to answer life's big question. What kind of man are you going to be? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': I understand you think Emma betrayed you, but do you really think dragging her family to the Underworld's the answer? :'''Hook''': This from the woman who enacted the Dark Curse to punish Snow White for telling a secret. You of all people should know how far someone will go for revenge. And unfortunately for you, so do all the people you've killed who are waiting for you in hell. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': It's time to drop the act. You can't just sit back and watch another family be destroyed to get your revenge. :'''Hook''': What makes you think I can't? :'''Regina''': Because of what we swore to never speak of again. I know the real reason you don't want to talk about what you did to your father. :'''Hook''': I believe we've already had this conversation... :'''Regina''': But this time you're going to listen. Because, if you don't, you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life. Which, in your case, means forever. So you have to ask yourself the same question you did that night. What kind of man do you want to be? ===''Souls of the Departed'' [5.12]=== :'''Hades''': Did you hear that, Cora? :'''Cora''': The music? Yes. But I've never been very fond of the violin. :'''Hades''': I wouldn't expect a miller's daughter to appreciate a virtuoso like Paganini, but&ndash; No, I didn't mean the music. I was talking about the clock. ---- :''[Mr. Gold enters the Underworld version of his shop to see a thread wheel spinning rapidly. He walks further into the shop and sees the chipped cup and its matching saucer on a table. Gold flashbacks to when he told Belle he was going to the Underworld.]'' :'''Belle''': The Underworld? :'''Mr. Gold''': I'll only be gone for a day. Just long enough to retrieve Hook. :'''Belle''': I&ndash; I don't understand. Why you? :'''Mr. Gold''': Because, Belle, I'm the only who's been there. Plus, my blood can summon the ferry. :''[Mr. Gold and Belle kiss.]'' :'''Belle''': Just come back to me. :'''Mr. Gold''': I always do. :''[The flashback ends. Gold is holding the chipped cup in his hands. He puts it back down on the table and then notices his childhood doll on a table. He then makes his way behind the counter, approaches the painting that is attached to the wall behind the counter, and pulls it back, revealing a safe hidden behind the painting. Gold punches in the combination, opens the door, and finds nothing in the safe.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Appears behind Gold]'' Looking for something? :'''Mr. Gold''': ''[Turns to face Pan]'' Peter Pan. I certainly wasn't looking for you. :'''Peter Pan''': Oh, come on, son, don't be like that. Aren't you glad to see your dear old father? :'''Mr. Gold''': Just because you, uh, sired me, that doesn't make you my father. ''[Steps out from behind the counter and stops in front of Pan]'' Step aside. :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Moves aside]'' Keep looking for as long as you like. But down here, this is ''my'' shop, and you won't find anything unless I want you to. :''[Mr. Gold continues looking around.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Be careful with your threats. :'''Peter Pan''': Or what? You'll kill me again? Maybe it's time to put the past behind us. This is what you're looking for, right? :''[Mr. Gold turns around and sees Pan holding a potion in his hand. Pan places it down on the table next to the straw doll.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': Go on. Take it. :'''Mr. Gold''': How generous. How many strings are attached? :'''Peter Pan''': No strings. Rumple, I meant what I said before I died. I&ndash; I do want to start over. :'''Mr. Gold''': Never gonna happen. I sent you here for a reason. :'''Peter Pan''': I miss the world above, the tastes, the smells. :'''Mr. Gold''': Sorry. You can't go back. :'''Peter Pan''': Not unless I trade places with a living soul. And those people you came down with, they are not your friends, and they are living for now. Maybe one of them doesn't make the trip back, but your dear old dad does. :'''Mr. Gold''': Not interested. :'''Peter Pan''': Not yet. But&ndash; ''[Picks up the potion]'' &ndash;this one's on the house for today. ''[Holds out the potion for Gold]'' A gesture of goodwill, from a father to his son. :''[Gold looks at the potion and then looks at Pan.]'' ===''Labor of Love'' [5.13]=== :'''Hercules''': You can't let the fear of failing stop you from trying. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dead Eye''': Are you sure you don't want me to kill her? :'''Evil Queen''': I won't turn her into a martyr for these people to worship. No. I have to turn them ''against'' her. And these miserable people will finally realize the truth. ''I'' am meant to be their queen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': ''[after Hades reveals Hook's bloodied hook]'' What did you do to him? :'''Hades''': It's not what I've already done you should worry about now. It's what I'm about to do. ===''Devil's Due'' [5.14]=== :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Voiceover as Mr. Gold reads the note]'' My son, this shop is yours to do with as you wish, and my offer still stands. Use what's in the case when you want to accept it, and we can be a family again. Your father. ---- :'''Fendrake''': I know who you are, Dark One. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Well, I imagine you do. :'''Fendrake''': You weren't like this before. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': That's right. I was a mortal man then. And a moral one. A man in a desperate situation. And you took advantage. And I admire that a great deal. Full points. But I don't like carrying debt. :'''Fendrake''': Unfortunately, Dark One, the contract is binding. Even if I wanted to change it, I couldn't. You owe me. :'''Rumplestiltskin''': ''[Giggles]'' I owe you! That's right, but I can't owe a debt to a dead man. ''[Rips out Fendrake's heart]'' Now&ndash; I don't like debts. But I do love a loophole. ''[Crushes Fendrake's heart and kills him]'' ---- :'''Hades''': ''[After summoning Fendrake and revealing him to Gold]'' Remember him? You two had a contract. You tried to void it by killing him during a certain potentially baby-making liaison with your protege, the Evil Queen's mother Cora. You rascal! ''[Chuckles]'' Which seemed smart at the time, but it turns out death doesn't actually nullify a contract. Not down here. Because here he is. And here's the contract&ndash; ''[Produces the contract]'' which he just signed over to me. So, just to be super extra clear, at any time, I can cash in the debt and take your baby. All magic comes with a price. And now, Dark One, the price is you work for me. ===''The Brothers Jones'' [5.15]=== :'''Hook''': Can't wait to see the look on his face when he learns a valuable lesson: One should ''never'' mess with the Brothers Jones. ===''Our Decay'' [5.16]=== :'''Hades''': ''[after deducing Zelena is thinking about Regina]'' You know how some people say they look up to their older siblings like gods? Well, my older brother ''is'' a god. ''Zeus''. Ever hear of him? He got ''everything'' he ever wanted. He rules Mount Olympus while I'm trapped ruling the Underworld. He ''stopped'' my heart. Love, happiness, joy... They've all been taken from me. What I'm left with is only anger and a thirst for vengeance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': When I was the Evil Queen, I spent every day not giving a damn about anyone. And in return, no one cared about me. I thought all I needed was my vengeance to keep me warm at night. But then something happened. My enemies became my family... and that's when I finally felt happy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zelena''': ''[after learning that Hades brought her to the Underworld because he loves her]'' You made me my very own Storybrooke? :'''Hades''': I gave you what you wanted, what she had. It's not... perfect. The Underworld is a place of, uh... well, destruction. Despite my best intentions, things don't ''grow'' here. They decay. But it's ''our'' decay. === ''Her Handsome Hero'' [5.17] === :'''Gaston''': ''Her Handsome Hero''... Interesting. Wouldn't have picked you for a fan of cheap romance. :'''Belle''': ''No!'' No. This is not like that. This book is about compassion and forgiveness&ndash; the things that truly make a hero. ===''Ruby Slippers'' [5.18]=== :'''Ruby''': You left without saying anything. :'''Dorothy''': I was afraid. I couldn't lose you to Zelena. :'''Ruby''': Well, yeah, but&ndash; I almost lost you. :'''Dorothy''': You didn't. You came back for me. :'''Ruby''': I always will. ===''Sisters'' [5.19]=== :'''Young Regina''': ''[While watching Young Zelena being removed from the Royal Manor]'' No matter what she does, we're sisters! And nothing can change that! I will find you! I promise! ---- :''[Peter Pan approaches Mr. Gold and Zelena.]'' :'''Zelena''': Who's this? :'''Mr. Gold''': Well, he's what I like to call a loophole. Zelena, meet my father, Peter Pan. :'''Peter Pan''': I hear you're wicked. Well, I'm much worse. :''[Pan throws a sack on Zelena.]'' ===''Firebird'' [5.20]=== :''[Hades rips up the contract on Gold and Belle's unborn child.]'' :'''Hades''': There. Now give her back. :'''Mr. Gold''': Oh, you can have her back. :'''Peter Pan''': But we didn't say anything about her heart, did we? You see, my body is ready to walk the earth again. Except for one thing. A living heart. So, if you don't mind. ''[Pulls back his hand]'' :'''Zelena''': My heart has got a protection spell on it. :'''Peter Pan''': You may be good at magic, but we're better. :''[Pan starts to rip out Zelena's heart, but is magically blasted back by Emma, who has arrived in the diner.]'' :'''Emma Swan''': ''[Approaches Hades]'' You sure about that? :'''Hades''': I was beginning to think you couldn't get in. :'''Emma Swan''': Locks don't bother me much. He ripped up the contract like you wanted, so leave. :'''Peter Pan''': Since when does the Savior answer to the king of Death? :'''Emma Swan''': Since he's the one getting my family home. :'''Mr. Gold''': You picked the wrong team to back, Ms. Swan. ''[Points at Hades]'' You won't get what you want from him. :'''Emma Swan''': Really? Because you just did, which is making me wonder why you're still here. :'''Mr. Gold''': Yeah, I suppose you have a point. :''[Gold teleports away. Emma, Zelena, Pan, and Hades watch on.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Seeing that Gold has teleported away]'' Rumple. :'''Zelena''': Looks like your little boy only came for what he wanted. :'''Emma Swan''': And I don't think you're gonna be that lucky. :''[Pan lets go of Zelena and teleports away. Emma, Zelena, and Hades watch on.]'' ---- :''[Gold goes into the back room where Belle is sleeping in a bed. He approaches her and tries to kiss her to wake her up, but is unsuccessful. Gold hears a noise in the main part of the shop. He steps into the main part of the shop and sees that Pan has appeared in the pawn shop.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': She may not accept you for who you are, but I will, despite your rude abandonment of me earlier. :'''Mr. Gold''': Touching, Papa. Yes, abandonment hurts, doesn't it? But with the contract gone, I only care about one thing: Getting Belle home so her father can wake her. :'''Peter Pan''': I'd love to help you make the journey, but that's going to be quite difficult since I didn't get the heart you promised me. :'''Mr. Gold''': Oh, there's the man I remember. Always thinking about what's in it for himself. :'''Peter Pan''': There's something in it for you, too. ''[Holds up Pandora's Box]'' Pandora's Box. ''[Steps towards Gold]'' You can keep her safe in here in exchange for a heart. Otherwise, you both might lose out and miss that portal home. ''[Turns to the window]'' Opening soon&ndash; ''[Turns to Gold]'' &ndash;but only till sunset. So, do we have a deal? Tick, tock. :''[Gold looks at Pandora's Box and then looks at Pan.]'' ---- :'''Henry''': What about Operation Firebird? We can't leave the Underworld without helping the people trapped here. :'''Regina''': They were trapped here because of Hades, who, fortunately for them, will no longer be a resident. ---- :''[Robin goes behind a couple of bookshelves to try and compose himself. He hears a noise.]'' :'''Robin Hood''': Who's there? :''[Robin turns around and finds Gold standing in front of him.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': It's just me, Dearie. Don't worry. You'll remember none of this. :''[Gold rips out Robin's heart.]'' ---- :''[Gold, holding a heart-sized pouch containing a heart, opens the door of the pawn shop and enters the pawn shop where Pan is waiting.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': Where have you been? We're running out of time. :'''Mr. Gold''': ''[Closes the door of the pawn shop]'' Still can't bring yourself to trust little Rumple, can you, Papa? ''[Walks over to a table and puts down the pouch on it]'' :'''Peter Pan''': You always were a touchy boy. :''[The portal at the cemetery starts rumbling.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': I take it that means it's not going to be open much longer. :''[Gold opens the pouch and looks at the heart that is inside.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': Shall we? :'''Mr. Gold''': Not quite yet. Timing is everything. ''[Turns to Pan]'' Have patience, Papa. :''[The portal at the cemetery continues rumbling. Pan becomes terrified.]'' ---- :''[Pan looks out the window.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': It's nearly time. ''[Turns around and walks towards Gold]'' We should go. We don't want to miss our ticket home. :'''Mr. Gold''': ''[Takes out the heart and approaches Pan]'' Now, are you ready? :'''Peter Pan''': Yes. ''[Places his hand on Gold's arm]'' Thank you, son. :'''Mr. Gold''': Pleasure's all mine, Papa. :''[Gold shoves the heart into Pan's chest.]'' :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Feels something inside his chest]'' Wait, something&ndash; ''[Leans onto Gold for support]'' Wait, something's wrong. :'''Mr. Gold''': Does it feel different than you remembered? :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Coughs]'' What's happening? What did you do? :'''Mr. Gold''': That wasn't really Robin Hood's heart I put inside you. I knew you or your shadow could be watching. Whilst you were otherwise distracted, I returned Robin's heart to him. :'''Peter Pan''': What did you put in me? :'''Mr. Gold''': A wineskin I glamoured, filled with water from the River of Souls. :'''Peter Pan''': ''[Horrified]'' No. Why? :'''Mr. Gold''': Villains don't get happy endings, Papa. And I'm here to make sure you never get yours. :''[Gold shoves Pan to the floor. Pan dissolves into green smoke as Gold watches on.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Goodbye, Papa, for good this time. ===''Last Rites'' [5.21]=== :''[Mr. Gold goes into Regina's office and finds Hades' ashes on the floor.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': You should have taken my deal. :''[Mr. Gold digs through Hades' ashes and takes out the Olympian Crystal.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Like I told you, this is my kingdom. ===''Only You'' [5.22]=== :''[Mr. Gold arrives at the library where Henry and Violet are.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Hello, Henry. :'''Henry''': Violet, get behind me. You're not getting this, not without a fight. :'''Mr. Gold''': Too bad you're gonna lose. :''[Mr. Gold magically renders Henry and Violet unconscious and takes the Olympian Crystal from Henry.]'' ===''An Untold Story'' [5.23]=== :'''Mr. Hyde''': You know, I've been looking for a place like this for quite some time; a land where all the world's lost and forgotten stories can play themselves out. And now that I've brought them here, that is ''exactly'' what they're going to do. == Season 6 == === ''The Savior'' [6.01]=== :'''Jafar''': You give and give and give… and for what? They pick the fruit, they cut the branches and all that's left is this... shaky stump. That's why you never, '''''ever''''' hear these words about a Savior: "They lived happily ever after." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': My life was never just one story. It was many stories. To some, a villain. I hurt people... in ways I can never make up for. To others, I'm... a hero. They've seen my strength, my ability to do the hard things, even when I thought I couldn't. I want to start a new story. One where the Evil Queen doesn't get a part. And I choose to believe that this story will have a better ending than my last. === ''A Bitter Draught'' [6.02]=== :'''Regina''': ''[speaking to the refugees from the Land of Untold Stories]'' You fled to the Land of Untold Stories because you were afraid that whatever was in this book is going to play out. But, now that you're here, I'm sure you're scared it will. But what you don't realize is I'm just like you. I'm also getting a fresh start and I don't know what the future holds either. But I do know one thing. We don't have to be afraid of anything. Because, whatever comes next, we're going to face it. '''''Together'''''. === ''The Other Shoe'' [6.03]=== :'''Emma''': ''[after learning that the Evil Queen wants to make her watch Ashley lose her happy ending]'' I saved her once. I'll save her again. :'''Evil Queen''': That's the tragic thing about being a savior. You have to keep saving people. But once you're off the chessboard, everything falls apart. All those happy endings turn to dust and your entire life means nothing. === ''Strange Case'' [6.04]=== :'''Mary''': When you walked into the parlor the other night, I saw the way the others looked at you. They were afraid. But I wasn't. I saw a man unencumbered by fear or by social obligation. How... how do you do that? How are you so free of it all? :'''Mr. Hyde''': I don't know. Perhaps I was simply... made that way. ===''Street Rats'' [6.05]=== :'''Aladdin''': She was the first person to believe I could be more than just a selfish street rat. I can't see the look in her eyes when she realizes that's exactly what I am. :'''Emma''': I was... I '''''am''''' a street rat, too. I made plenty of mistakes. But I've known people who kept me strong, who cared about me as much as Jasmine clearly cares about you. Maybe the real mistake was keeping the savior burden to yourself? ===''Dark Waters'' [6.06]=== :'''Captain Nemo''': This key will open the gateway to a place called the Mysterious Island. It is a place where we can start over. This is your chance, Killian. You don't have to swim the dark waters any longer. ===''Heartless'' [6.07]=== :'''Evil Queen''': I've dreamt of this moment for so long, Snow White. I'd wake up still feeling the grit of your crushed heart clinging to my palms. But that ending isn't poetic enough, is it? I want to give you my pain. The pain of being alone. ===''I'll Be Your Mirror'' [6.08]=== :'''Henry''': ''[to the Evil Queen]'' You may not see it, but I'm strong. Because my moms taught me that family makes you stronger than you'll ever be by yourself. And that's something you'll never have. Because you'll always be alone. ===''Changelings'' [6.09]=== :'''Gold''': When we met, I told you I was a difficult man to love. But more than that, I think I think I'm a man no one can love. But this son... With him, I can start over. Maybe he can love me. :'''Belle''': Not like this. Don't give up, Rumple. I never wanted you to be perfect. I just wanted you to '''''try'''''. :'''Gold''': I have. And look what's happened. I've only ever pushed you away. Now, uh, I... I'm afraid all I really have is this. Magic. :'''Belle''': And it may get you your son. But you know there's a price. You won't just push me away again. You'll lose me forever. Is that a price that you're willing to pay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rumplestiltskin''': Why did you abandon me? :'''Black Fairy''': Funny that the Dark One should ask such a thing. Sometimes you have to choose power over love. ===''Wish You Were Here'' [6.10]=== :'''Evil Queen''': Genie of Agrabah, I wish that Emma Swan's wish – to have never been the Savior – be granted. ===''Tougher Than The Rest'' [6.11]=== ===''Murder Most Foul'' [6.12]=== ===''Ill-Boding Patterns'' [6.13]=== :'''Gideon''': I was a coward, Father. Just like you. But we can show your mother that she was wrong about both of us. ===''Page 23'' [6.14]=== :'''Mary Margaret''': Isn't that... :'''Regina''': Page 23. The page that magically appeared to me with what I thought could be an ending to my story with Robin. A happy ending. Instead, it was just a cruel twist of fate, showing me an ending that could never be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': ''[after catching Hook about to burn a dreamcatcher containing his memories of killing David's father]'' How could you do this? :'''Hook''': I've been asking myself the same question, and all I can say is that I was a broken man for a very long time, and I did horrendous things. :'''Emma''': I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about this. You were about to burn your own memories. Why would you do that? :'''Hook''': Because I was ashamed, Emma, and ''scared'' of losing you and everything that matters to me. :'''Emma''': And you really think that would happen after everything we've been through? :'''Hook''': You tell me. How am I supposed to sit across from your mother and father at the table and look them in the eye after what I've done? :'''Emma''': I'm not saying it would be easy. You know them. You know they would forgive you. That's who they are. :'''Hook''': This isn't just about ''them''. This is about ''me''. I already destroyed my own family once, and that was hard enough, but knowing that I destroyed yours, too, I just ... I didn't know how I could live with that. :'''Emma''': You come to me, Hook, and you lean on me and you trust ''me''. We have to stop hiding things from each other. The man I fell in love with would know that. You would know that we would do things together. :'''Hook''': Emma... :'''Emma''': ''That'' is what I agreed to marry. That is what I thought that we were together. Until you're ready for that ... ''[takes off her engagement ring and hands it back to Hook]'' Then we can talk. ===''The Final Battle, Part 2'' [6.23]=== :'''Mr. Gold''': ''[Realizes]'' Gideon. You have his heart. :'''Fiona''': Yes. And I commanded him to kill the savior. Not even my death can stop that. ''[Stands up]'' In fact, I suspect it would ensure it. :''[Pause.]'' :'''Mr. Gold''': Well&ndash; there's only one way to find out. :''[Gold uses the wand to turn Fiona's body into dust. After he finishes turning Fiona's body into dust, Gold drops the wand.]'' == Season 7 == ===''Hyperion Heights'' [7.01]=== :'''Lucy''': You returned all the happy endings. And now, my mom and all the others need you to do it again. The curse put most people in Hyperion Heights, but&ndash; :'''Henry''': I hear that's an up-and-coming neighborhood. Doesn't really sound like a curse to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': You're '''''the''''' Alice? From Wonderland? :'''Alice''': And other places! Gah, you have one weird trip and it's all anyone knows about you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiana''': ''[after being approached by a servant bearing a platter of frog legs]'' Oh... Frog legs. No. No, thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Victoria''': Go back to your books, your fairylands, whatever nonsense you write. Because in this world, the '''''real''''' world, people get hurt. And if that happens, you'll be sorry you ever stepped foot on this street. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Victoria''': You'll regret this, Roni. :'''Roni''': Doubtful. Regret's not really my thing. ===''A Pirate's Life'' [7.02]=== :'''Killian Jones''': ''[referring to Henry]'' Look, he's grown into a fine young lad, and he is lucky to have a mother like you. :'''Emma Swan''': He's lucky to have a pirate like you. ===''The Garden of Forking Paths'' [7.03]=== :'''Jacinda''': You see, this garden isn't what it was supposed to be. I couldn't see that. But my Lucy did. She never stopped believing in it for a second. We're gonna show Victoria Belfrey that, when you truly believe in something... you can change things. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': You stayed in that depressing manor home. You let your stepmother walk all over you and call you "Cinder... ella". But, you know... there's a reason for that. You're punishing yourself. Take my advice. If you want to take this woman down, the first thing you got to do... is forgive yourself. ===''Beauty'' [7.04]=== :'''Tilly''': I finally understand. I just had to see the whole picture, the whole story. See, we all have stories. I have a story. This troll has a story. Even you, Mr. Weaver, have a story. And it's a thing of beauty. <hr width="50%"/> : '''Gold''': ''[after seeing Belle rattle off items on the checklist for one-year-old Gideon's birthday party]'' Relax... It's a children's birthday party. As long as everyone turns up and Gideon ends up with birthday cake all over his face, it's a success. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ivy''': Lucy and Jacinda may be apart, but they will always have each other. And I'm all alone. Not that I expect you to understand. You're practically already a part of her little insta-family. : '''Henry''': You want to talk about being alone? Until last week, the only human contact I had was with my Swyft riders. ===''Greenbacks'' [7.05]=== :'''Dr. Facilier''': The wealth dried up like a raisin in the sun and the people suffered without a strong ruler. And that's why you've come to me, is it not? To find that strong ruler, that prince who can save you and your kingdom. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiana''': But how did you know I was looking for a prince? :'''Dr. Facilier''': It's my job, isn't it? And in this business, it's all about who you know. I don't like to drop names, but I do have a few friends... on the other side. ===''Wake Up Call'' [7.06]=== :'''Ivy''': Welcome back... '''''Regina'''''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Regina''': All those years... A blink of an eye for us and you... you lived a lifetime with Belle? It's difficult to comprehend. :'''Mr. Gold''': You know, we had a good life. And it made me a new man. That's why I'm here in this realm. Finally ready to pass on the power of the Dark One. The '''''right way'''''. ===''Eloise Gardener'' [7.07]=== :'''Rogers''': ''[after Weaver accuses him of being obsessed with the Eloise Gardener case]'' I'm gonna find Eloise Gardener. And I won't let you, Victoria Belfrey, or anyone else stop me. ===''Pretty in Blue'' [7.08]=== :'''Cinderella''': I know that where you come from, true love always wins. But mine is a world of broken promises where people '''''never''''' find each other. ===''One Little Tear'' [7.09]=== :'''Rapunzel''': I'll apologize for taking some food, but I won't apologize for trying to help my family. My husband is sick. My kids have gone two days without a bite. :'''Gothel''': Many people come here in an attempt to steal my magic. And yet, here you are selflessly risking my ire for radishes... It's rare to find a flower that can grow amongst the weeds of human nature. ===''The Eighth Witch'' [7.10]=== :'''Regina''': I can't just&ndash; can't just cast a curse. It takes time and&ndash; ingredients&ndash; :'''Drizella''': Eight, to be exact. And I have seven of them right here. The only one I'm missing &ndash; the most important one, and, of course, the hardest to find &ndash; is magic from a witch who crushed the heart of the thing she loves most. So&ndash; Regina, what'll it be? My curse or his life? ===''Secret Garden'' [7.11]=== ===''A Taste of the Heights'' [7.12]=== :'''Jacinda''': And speaking of cool, tonight's the night&ndash; Taste of the Heights is happening. :'''Lucy''': A food fair in an abandoned skate park? Oh, that's so cool! ===''Knightfall'' [7.13]=== ===''The Girl in the Tower'' [7.14]=== :'''Robin''': Wow. So '''''you're''''' the girl in the tower. :'''Alice''': I got out of that tower years ago. ===''Sisterhood'' [7.15]=== ===''Breadcrumbs'' [7.16]=== :'''Nick''': So, how do you do a Hansel hunt? You stake out the lederhosen stores? Dust for gingerbread? Look for breadcrumbs? ===''Chosen'' [7.17] === :'''Weaver''': So how does it feel to finally be chosen before Regina? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nick''': I was so tired of being Hansel. You know, carrying his scars. So I picked a new name. Jack was simple. Jack had no past. And then when we slayed all those giants and you decided I was Jack the Giant Killer. And suddenly I... I was a hero. ===''The Guardian'' [7.18]=== ===''Flower Child'' [7.19]=== ===''Is This Henry Mills?'' [7.20]=== :''[Weaver, Tilly, and Margot stand against Mother Gothel.]'' :'''Weaver''': She was never with you. And now she's gonna be the one who stops you. :'''Tilly''': What? No. I can't fight her. She's a monster. She's too strong. :'''Rogers''': ''[Approaches them]'' Not half as strong as you, Alice. :'''Tilly''': Papa, please. :'''Rogers''': I know you're afraid. :'''Tilly''': You're hurting yourself. You're&ndash; You're growing weak. :'''Rogers''': No, I'm finally growing strong. You make me stronger. :'''Mother Gothel''': Yet every step you take, your heart grows weaker. :'''Rogers''': You can do this. I'm here with you. ''[Takes Tilly's hand]'' :'''Margot''': ''[Takes Tilly's other hand]'' And so am I. :'''Mother Gothel''': Don't be a fool. Join your mother and defend your home. :'''Tilly''': You are not my mother. You wanna ruin me the way the world ruined you, but I'm not like you. I'm not an outcast. I'm not an orphan or a street rat or some crazy girl who's lost her way. You chose hate, but I choose love. :''[Tilly transforms Mother Gothel into a tree and walks over to her.]'' :'''Tilly''': I'm sorry your life twisted into something you never meant it to. I promise I will do better. For everyone. ''[Grows flowers on the tree]'' ---- :'''Henry''': ''[Voiceover as Regina reads his personal essay]'' Dear Mom, this is the personal essay I wanted to send, but couldn't. It's titled "Once Upon a Time." And it's the story of us. Sometimes, you have to leave home. And you've been there for so long, you don't know who or what you'll be outside of it, but then you realize every experience, every trial, every moment has shaped you. And you take that place with you no matter where you go next. I'm lucky. I have an incredible home. You won't find it on a map, but in it, you will find magic. You find love, hope, and something to believe in. You'll find a family that fights for one another, who never gives up on each other. And even when they're separated by curse or distance or time, they find each other. They always find each other. I wish the world could know the story of my family, how it was all true, how every moment of it happened. And you may think this is just a story, but that's the thing about stories. They're more than words. They live inside of us. They make us who we are. And as long as someone believes that, there will always be magic. ---- :'''Baron Samdi''': That's what I thought, you're a shadow of your former self. It's sad. Trying to get back to your beloved has made you the worst version of you. ''[Gets stabbed in the back by Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin]'' ===''Homecoming'' [7.21]=== :''[Henry and Roni find Wish Realm Peter Pan, who is imprisoned in a pillory.]'' :'''Roni''': Peter Pan? What happened to you? What happened to this land? :'''Wish Realm Peter Pan''': My son happened. He never forgives, and he never forgets. Guess neither of us grew up. :'''Henry''': Your son took my family. I need to know where they are. :'''Wish Realm Peter Pan''': Your guess is as good as mine. But I recommend you abandon all hope of finding them and leave. Because while good things come into my son's castle, they never come out. ---- :''[Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin sends Henry, Rogers, and Weaver into the snowglobe where Jacinda and Lucy are.]'' :'''Roni''': Henry! Where'd they go? :'''Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin''': I reunited Henry and the others with his family. Bound to be quite the reunion. :'''Roni''': Then why am I still here? :'''Wish Realm Henry''': Because we're finally back to what I'm getting out of this. I watched you crush my grandparents' hearts and take away my mom. And that story still needs its ending. ===''Leaving Storybrooke'' [7.22]=== :''[Weaver and Rogers try to break the glass of the snowglobe.]'' :'''Weaver''': Our spirit's gonna break long before that glass. :'''Rogers''': We should try another area. There must be a weak spot. :'''Weaver''': There's that unshakable determination, however misguided. That's the reason why I kept you as a partner, Detective. That and your good heart. :'''Rogers''': Well, seeing as we're allowing certain death to bring up secret truths, I do have to ask you&ndash; given the amount of power that you once held, how come you never used it to destroy me? :'''Weaver''': Because you were the closest thing I ever had to a friend. ---- :''[Wish Realm Henry has Roni at swordpoint.]'' :'''Wish Realm Henry''': You knew I wouldn't listen to you, so why did you come here?! :'''Roni''': I had to. :'''Wish Realm Henry''': No, you didn't! What do you want from me?! :'''Roni''': I just want you to know that you weren't alone. Because I know what that's like, too. :'''Wish Realm Henry''': You deserve to be alone, and that's how you're going to die. :'''Roni''': I know you think I'm a villain whose life isn't worth saving, but yours means everything to me&ndash; All versions of it. So if this is how I have to go out&ndash; Showing you that there are people in the world that love you, no matter what you do&ndash; Oh, then&ndash; that's a worthy end for me. :''[Wish Realm Henry drops his sword and the portals close.]'' :'''Roni''': Oh, Henry. ''[Hugs Wish Realm Henry]'' ---- :''[Weaver stands against Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin.]'' :'''Weaver''': You are the Dark One. As was I. And I know all our little secrets. Becoming the Dark One was the act of a coward, but I'm no longer that man. You are. And that weak coward will not be the Rumplestiltskin the world remembers. :'''Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin''': So what's your plan then? Talk me to death? :'''Weaver''': Oh, my plan is&ndash; to do whatever it takes. :'''Tilly''': No, the line of the Guardians is gone. You'll never be with Belle! :'''Weaver''': I know that. But I also know you don't do the right thing for a reward, you do it because it's right. Now I've been selfish for too long. I've been living on stolen time. Now I will finally face the unknown. :''[Weaver rips his heart out of his chest, puts it in Rogers' chest, and collapses, as Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin dissolves into dust.]'' :'''Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin''': ''[While dissolving into dust]'' No more Rumple? ---- :'''Roni''': ''[After being crowned "The Good Queen"]'' I thought my story came to an end a long time ago. And then, new people came into my life. People who gave me a second chance. I can't wait to see what's in store for me next. Well, for everyone. I refuse to believe there won't be more adventures, more love, more family. And yes, there will be more loss. Because that's just a part of life. And in the end, we can get past it all. With hope. == Cast == * [[w:Jennifer Morrison|Jennifer Morrison]] - Emma Swan * [[w:Ginnifer Goodwin|Ginnifer Goodwin]] - [[w:Snow White|Snow White]]/Mary Margaret Blanchard * [[w:Josh Dallas|Josh Dallas]] - [[w:Prince Charming|Prince Charming]]/David Nolan * [[w:Lana Parrilla|Lana Parrilla]] - [[w:Queen (Snow White)|The Evil Queen]]/Regina Mills * [[w:Jared S.

And keep on going. Damn the torpedoes! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': God, you were magical. In high school you were a king. You were beautiful and...and athletic, and talented and...and smart and popular. And hung! :'''Ray''': What am I now, Jessica?

Go for it. I always wanted to be a product when I grew up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tanya''': The point is, we have to think big.

I've been pleasing women for decades now.

Mr. DiBiase, you're not very happy at all with the latest turn of events, are you? :'''[[w:Ted DiBiase|Ted DiBiase]]''': ''[with Stone Cold Steve Austin]'' No, I'm not happy at all, McMahon. To say that Savio Vega's victory last night was a fluke, is an understatement. I mean, the lights were out. Who knows how many times Savio Vega touched the turnbuckles. What I'm saying is, there's no way on his best day Savio Vega defeats Stone Cold Steve Austin... :'''Vince''': Well, you were counting on Savio being your chauffeur; that did not happen, and Savio Vega was victorious. Now, the rematch has been signed for tomorrow night, and again, it's going to be a Caribbean Strap match, and I would suggest that you still want Savio to...well, that provision, you still want to challenge him, do you? :'''Ted''': I want to sweeten the pie, McMahon. :'''Vince''': Sweeten the pie? :'''Ted''': Savio Vega, you keep that stipulation in there, 'cause you're gonna be my chauffeur. And I'll tell you what. I'm so confident that this man is gonna beat you tomorrow night that I'll put a stipulation in there. If Steve Austin, if Stone Cold Steve Austin doesn't beat you tomorrow night, Savio Vega, the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase will forfeit his career! I will leave the World Wrestling Federation! Did you hear me, McMahon?! Did you hear me, Vega?! I will leave the World Wrestling Federation! === September 23 === :'''[[w:Jim Ross|Jim Ross]]:''' In just a couple of minutes, I'm going to bring Big Daddy Cool, [[w:Kane (wrestler)|Diesel]] and [[w:Rick Bognar|Razor Ramon]] right out here. But before I do, I'd like to beg your indulgence for just a minute and tell you something I got on my mind. There's something I've been wanting to say for a long long time. And when I'm through telling you, many of you are going to question my loyalty to the [[W:World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]] so let's clear that up right now. I have no loyalty to the World Wrestling Federation, I only got loyalty to good ol' J.R., and let me tell you why. In 1993, I left a great job in Atlanta, Georgia, and I left the [[w:Atlanta Falcons|Atlanta Falcons]] of the [[w:National Football League|National Football League]] to go to the recognized leader of sports entertainment, the WWF. I came here to be the primary play-by-play man in the WWF. I don't think anybody here is going to disagree that I am the best play-by-play man in the whole damn business! So I show up for work the first day at [[w:WrestleMania IX|WrestleMania IX]] in Las Vegas, Nevada, and they give me a sheet to wear. They said, "Oh it's going to be a toga. You'll look good in a toga, J.R." I leave the National Football League for a toga. It's crap! And then, ladies and gentlemen, I go to the first [[w:King of the Ring (1993)|King of the Ring]] in Dayton, Ohio, and I guarantee you, you listen to that broadcast, I carried the broadcast from ringside. And then did you ever wonder where ol' J.R. went to? Why doesn't ol' J.R. do play-by-play anymore? Let me tell you why. Because the egotistical owner of the World Wrestling Federation—and you know who I'm talking about, I'm talking about Vince McMahon—couldn't stand the competition. So J.R. disappeared. And then on [[w:Super Bowl XXVIII|Super Bowl Sunday of 1994]], I woke up with an affliction called [[w:Bell's Palsy|Bell's Palsy]], and my entire left side of my face looked like it had a stroke. You think I like that? You think I like that my left eye doesn't open all the way because I got sick? Well, let me tell you how warm-hearted Mr. McMahon is. Mr. McMahon called me into his office on February 11th, 1994, and he fired my ass! So I get back in my car and I drive into my home in that overpriced hellhole Connecticut, and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to tell my wife and my two little girls that their daddy had just got fired. And so then, remember when McMahon got indicted? They needed somebody to come back and do ''Raw''? They called up J.R. and then they let me go again. So finally they called me back, hired me back for fifty cents on the dollar to come back and work for the front office. Do you think that all these guys leaving the WWF was an accident? Hell no, it's not! You think all these guys coming here was an accident? Absolutely not, I've been very busy. And right now, I want to bring back one of your favorites. He's the Bad Guy, Razor Ramon! ===November 11=== :''[Brian Pillman is being interviewed by Vince McMahon and Kevin Kelly at the Pillman house while Stone Cold Steve Austin is out looking for him]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': Notwithstanding the bravado, do you feel like a hostage? Do you feel like a hostage in your own home? :'''Brian Pillman''': Hah. Steve is a dead man walking, because when Austin 3:16 meets Pillman ''[draws and slides pistol on camera to everybody's shock]'' nine-millimeter Glock... :'''Kevin Kelly''': Oh my God, oh my God! :'''Pillman''': ...I'm gonna blast his sorry ass straight to hell!! == 1997 == === January 20 === :''[Bret Hart comes into the ring at the start of the show]'' :'''[[w:Bret Hart|Bret Hart]]''': There's something I gotta say! :'''[[w:Jerry Lawler|Lawler]]''': What's he doing out here? :'''Bret Hart''': There's something I gotta say to you! ''[Points at Vince]'' You know, when I decided to come back to the World Wrestling Federation, you promised me that I would get an opportunity to fight for the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt. You put me in the ring with [[w:Stone Cold Steve Austin|Stone Cold Steve Austin]] and said that if I could beat Stone Cold Steve Austin, that I would be the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt. Now don't you think it's just a little bit convenient that for some stupid reason, [[w:Shawn Michaels|Shawn Michaels]] finds himself out at ringside announcing in my World Championship match with [[w:Sid Eudy|Sycho Sid]]? I don't think it was any kind of a coincidence either. So Shawn Michaels jumps up and sticks his nose in my business and costs me the World Wrestling Federation Championship Belt with blatant interference. The Boy Toy costs me the championship and they go, "Oh that's okay. Don't worry about it, cause now you can go in the [[w:Royal Rumble (1997)|Royal Rumble]] and you only have to fight 29 other guys and then you'll get your opportunity for the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt." So I went in the ring, and it's very, very clear to me that I won the Royal Rumble and I should be getting a World Wrestling Federation Championship bout. Where is my opportunity? You know, the way I look at things right now, I've been screwed by Shawn Michaels the Boy Toy, I've been screwed by Stone Cold Steve Austin, I've been screwed by the World Wrestling Federation, and I've been screwed by you! (Vince) I don't like to make idle threats, but the way I see things, it doesn't look like I'm going to get my opportunity for a shot at the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt. So I quit! (slams the microphone down.) <hr width=50%> :'''Steve Austin''': You gonna get me a piece of equipment that works, son, or do I have to whip your ass? Bret Hart, you can sit there and bellyache and complain with the best of them, son. Ever since you came back, you ain't done nothing but cry! You sit there and talk about how Vince screwed you, how everybody screwed you, how I screwed you. The bottom line is, son, when the going gets tough, the Harts get going back home! Knock it off! Go on back to Canada, son, because the only person you can possibly beat is your wrinkled up old man in his little old basement. You talk about being jerked around, I've been jerked around for seven years, and then I get here. I'm supposed to face Sycho Sid tonight and some guy, a 350-pound buffoon that calls himself Gorilla Monsoon the commissioner says, "No, no. Sycho Sid is at home with a concussion." Sycho Sid may be at home with a concussion and an ice pack on his head, but he's also got a yellow stripe running right down the middle of his back. As far as Gorilla Monsoon goes, I got a big bunch of bananas and I can tell you where to stick each and every one of them. You want me to face [[w:The Undertaker|The Undertaker]], you can bring his dead ass out here, because I threw him over the top rope last night, and I'll do the exact same thing right now, so bring him out, I got something for him! === March 3 === :''[Vince is showing footage of the Final Four where Stone Cold Steve Austin inadvertently helped Bret Hart win the WWF Title, and later where he hit Bret with a steel chair, causing Sycho Sid to win the title the next night.]'' :'''Vince''': Your response? Do you show any remorse, whatsoever, for your actions? :'''Steve Austin''': The only remorse I got is that I didn't hit him harder with that steel chair! Bret Hart runs around talkin' about everybody's screwin' him. Hell, for the past 7 years, I've been screwed, and it's the same old song! How come when Shawn Michaels hurts his knee, you make a video out of him? How come when Shawn Michaels gets sick, you tell the world that he's got the FLU?! Well, when I went to the Final Four, I was sick as a dog, and I had a blown out knee! Let me ask you a question: How many one-legged people can go 25 minutes with 3 of the top wrestlers in the world? NONE! Stone Cold Steve Austin went out there, and did just that! And I ain't making fun of no one-legged people, I'm sittin' here just tryin' to make a point. As far as I'm concerned, I truly am the World Wrestling Federation Champion, and can't nobody tell me different! Not you, or ANYBODY! As far as the Submission Match, it's a buncha bull! Bret Hart, he's supposed to be the big technician, the Sharpshooter. BIG DEAL! I don't know a whole lotta couple of submission moves, but it doesn't matter, because I'll beat the hell outta Bret Hart! And as far as Ken Shamrock says on TV the other day; "Oh, I don't know. Bret Hart's the better technician, but Stone Cold ain't got no quit in him." Well, you hit the nail right on the head, son, because I ain't got no quit in me at all! And you can bet your bottom dollar that Stone Cold ain't gonna look at the referee and say "I quit! I submit! I've had too much!" There ain't NOBODY... there ain't NOBODY in wrestling who can make me QUIT! And that's the bottom line, 'cuz Stone Cold SAYS SO! :'''Vince''': Why of all this... why are you so bitter? Why this bitterness?! :'''Steve Austin''': You treat me like a dog, and you expect me to SMILE? You remind me of a jackass! === March 17 === :''[Bret Hart has just lost a WWF title cage match with Sycho Sid]'' :'''Jim Ross''': We're back here ladies and gentlemen, a few more moments and Vince McMahon is going talk to a very, obviously a very consumate Bret Hart. :'''Vince''': Bret Hart, you've got to be terribly frustrated. Extremely frustrated over what has just happened. :''[Bret shoves Vince down and takes the mike]'' :'''Lawler:''' WHOA!! :'''Bret Hart:''' FRUSTRATED ISN'T THE GODDAMN WORD FOR IT!!

Everybody in that goddamn dressing room knows that I am the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be! :'''Lawler:''' Cut him off! :'''Bret Hart:''' And if you don't like it, tough shit!! <hr width=50%> :'''Steve Austin:''' Conspiracy my ass Bret! All you want to do anytime you go in the ring is cry like a baby! I tried to go out there and help you and you threw it all away because you're a loser! It could have been you and me for the championship at [[w:WrestleMania 13|WrestleMania]], but you blew the whole damn thing because you're a loser! At WrestleMania, you will quit and one of these days when it's you and me for the title, you're looking at the next champ. AND THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! :'''Bret Hart:''' (As Austin begins saying "At WrestleMania,...") You know why they call you Stone Cold? Because your stones are so cold, you won't come out here and step in the ring with me myself! You always got to jump me from behind! You haven't got the guts to come out here! Come on!! Everybody knows whether it's Sycho Sid, ''[Sid comes out]'' If you think for one second that that belt belongs to you, you are wrong! It is my belt. You know it, I know it and everybody in this building knows it! :'''Sid:''' I don't know shit, crybaby! <hr width=50%> :''[as Bret Hart brawls with Steve Austin and Undertaker brawls with Sid]'' :'''Vince''': Bret Hart has snapped! Bret Hart thought for sure he would be the WWF champion and there's no conspiracy! Bret Hart, ladies and gentlemen is talking about a conspiracy. There is no conspiracy at all, only in his head and it's sad that a man as great as Bret Hart has resorted to this! This is not what we've talked about! This is not the legacy of Bret Hart! Not this! Not this bawling! Not this whining! Not this crying! :''[officials pull Bret away from Austin]'' :'''Lawler''': You're right! He's snapped McMahon! He's lost it! Get him out of here, drag him out! :''[Bret nails Pat Patterson and goes back to Austin]'' :'''Vince''': OH HE JUST HIT, HE JUST HIT HALL OF FAMER PAT PATTERSON!! THAT DIRTY ROTTEN SON OF A...!! === March 24 === :'''Vince''': Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, yes, from the ultimate fighting war... ''world'', rather, yes, it is war, for sure. There is Ken Shamrock, and Mr. Shamrock, in your officiating last night, firstly, why did you stop the match? :'''Ken Shamrock''': Well, you know, I was in the match, and Steve Austin was in a great deal of pain even throughout the whole match. I asked him several times; he did not respond. As far as I could see, he was unconscious, I had to stop the match in order to protect his body because he was in severe, severe shape. So that is why I stopped the fight. :'''Vince''': Alright, but you did not hear him say the words, "I quit," did you? You did not hear him say the words, "I quit," did you? :'''Ken''': No, the words weren't said, "I quit," but when a man goes unconscious and he cannot protect himself properly, that is why I was hired to do this match: was to make sure one man won. There was no cheating around, there was no holds here. And therefore, when Steve Austin passed out, he could not protect himself. So therefore, that is why I stopped the fight. :'''Vince''': Alright, but then, as he could not protect himself, "The Hitman" Bret Hart, after the match was officially over, went back and attacked Stone Cold Steve Austin. :'''Ken''': Yes, he did. And, you know, throughout the match there, there was a lot of dishing out pain going on in there, but one of the things that I guess I had to step in on was because after Stone Cold was on the mat, he was passed out and really could not protect himself, the reason why I stopped the match, Bret Hart decided to take it upon himself to go in there and put more pain upon him. And from what I could see, he was trying to end Stone Cold Steve Austin's career. I had to step in and stop that. :'''Vince''': Indeed. Well, the Hitman wanted no part of you, no doubt about that. Let me ask you, as far as your opinion of Stone Cold Steve Austin. What is your opinion of him as far as last night' match is concerned? :'''Ken''': Well, you know, particularly... me and Steve Austin have had some harsh words in the past. I particularly really don't care for him much. But there's one thing you cannot take from this man. Let me tell you, he went through a lot of pain, and there was no quit in that man. He kept fighting and fighting. You got to give him that, he is one tough character. I've seen a lot of tough people going through my life, going through the no holds barred competitions, and this guy is by far one of the toughest guys that I've seen. :'''Vince''': All right, thank you very much for joining us. <hr width=50%> :'''Bret Hart''': First of all, I wanna apologize. I'd like to apologize to all my fans over in Germany. I'd like to apologize to all my fans over in Great Britain. Actually, I like to apologize to all my fans all over Europe. All over Japan and the far east. I like to apologize to my fans in the middle east. All the way as far down as South Africa. And I especially like to apologize for all my great fans in Canada. :And to you, my great fans across the United States of America...to you, I apologize for nothing! You know, it seems real strange to me that no matter how much I try that when I beat Stone Cold Steve Austin to a bloody pulp, I thought to myself, no matter how much I win, when I walked back to the dressing room. The way you American fans treat me across the United States of America, I feel like I lost. I mean I took a gutless creep like Stone Cold Steve Austin and beat him to a bloody pulp, even though he knows, and you all know that he lost, you cheer him on the way back to the dressing room like he won! :You know it didn't just start right here. Let's go back to WrestleMania last year when I was the World Wrestling Federation Champion. When that belt was around my waist and where it belonged. You cheered on a pretty boy like Shawn Michaels and you allowed him to screw me out of the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt. I found myself sitting at home watching the WWF on TV in Canada and saying to myself, "The World Wrestling Federation needs a hero, they need a role model. They need someone to look up to." Not somebody who has earrings all over himself and tattoos. Not somebody who poses for girly magazines. By the way, I don't think it was a girly magazine, I think it was a gay magazine! So I felt this calling to come back to set the record straight and clean up the World Wrestling Federation. So I came back in the Survivor Series and I beat Stone Cold Steve Austin there and I think I garnered a little bit of respect. Then I found myself stepping in the ring with Sycho Sid and your hero, your pride and joy Shawn Michaels costs me the World Wrestling Federation championship belt. Nobody cared! Nobody did anything about it! You people didn't do anything about it. :They say "Oh, don't worry about that. You can get in line with 29 other guys and you can go in the Royal Rumble." So being the man that I am, I got no problem fighting 29 other guys. So I went in the Royal Rumble, and I won. I was the last legal man standing in the Royal Rumble. But again, everyone just turns their back on it. You somehow justify in your minds that Stone Cold Steve Austin won. You know, a better man would've quit. Maybe I should have quit and gone home. :'''Vince''': You did Bret, that's what you threatened. :'''Bret Hart''': I got Gorilla Monsoon and Vince McMahon on their hands and knees begging me to come back. "Don't quit! Think of your fans." Well, I thought of my fans and I came back. And they come up with this idea for the Final Four. The winner of the Final Four will get a World Wrestling Federation title fight at WrestleMania 13. That sounds good to me. So I accept, I came back. Then all of a sudden, your champion, your hero, Shawn Michaels comes up with this life ending, career ending knee injury and he forfeits the title so he can go home and find his smile. But that's okay, you people think that that's just fine. I see people in the audience crying for that. You talk about me crying. So I go into the Final Four with the outcome now being that whoever wins the Final Four will now be the World Wrestling Federation Champion. And who won the Final Four? I did. Right in the middle of the ring, I defeated three other guys in one night. I defeated Vader, I defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin, and I defeated the Undertaker, and I became the World Wrestling Federation Champion for a fourth time. Then they come up to me and go "Well wait a minute! You don't get to rest even though you fought three other guys, even though you're beat up and sore. You got to go in the ring and fight 6'9" Sycho Sid, and defend the title." Do you think I ran and hid? Do you think and found me forfeiting any titles? NO! I put the title on the line and I took Sycho Sid and I tied him in a big knot right in the middle of the ring. There he was in the Sharpshooter after being booed all the way through the match by my American wrestling fans, you somehow justify, only in America you can do this, Stone Cold Steve Austin climbs into the ring and whacks me in the back of the head with a chair. Somehow, you justify that that's okay, that's acceptable in America. :So I ask, or as you see it, I cried to Gorilla Monsoon. I asked and I begged and I pleaded and I said "Give me Stone Cold Steve Austin. Give me a match with this guy who seems to be making my life a miserable hell." So I got Stone Cold Steve Austin and they agree to a match, a submission match. And then they go, "Wait, we have some even better news for you. We will give you Sycho Sid in a 15-foot high steel cage match and no one will be able to interfere in that and you will have your shot at the World Wrestling Federation championship belt because we respect you." Well in that match, outside interference played a big factor again and somehow for some reason, The Undertaker is out there and he finds himself slamming my head in the door and he costs me the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt for the 5th time. :So I got one thing on my mind. After being screwed over by everybody in the World Wrestling Federation, after being abandoned by all you good fans right here in the United States of America, I decide that I'm going to go into this submission match with Stone Cold Steve Austin and give him every bit of what he deserves, just a good old fashioned ass whipping. And so when I do it, when I actually take that lousy stinking hyena Stone Cold Steve Austin and beat him to a bloody pulp, you somehow find it in your hearts to abandon me and cheer for him. :You know, I've proven myself so many times in the World Wrestling Federation and I've tried to be everything that you wanted me to be that it seems to me that you don't understand. You don't understand what it means to have dignity, to have poise, to bring prestige to the World Wrestling Federation, to be a man that brings a little class. Because you rather cheer for heroes like Charles Manson and O.J Simpson. Nobody glorifies criminal conduct like the Americans do and all the countries around the world, they still respect what's right and what's wrong. Respect. Now that we made everything real clear with ourselves tonight, it's obvious to me that all you wrestling fans coast to coast, you don't respect me. Well the fact is, I don't respect you. You don't deserve it. So from here on in, the American wrestling fans coast to coast can KISS MY ASS!! <hr width=50%> :''[Shawn Michaels comes out to the ring]'' :'''Shawn Michaels''': Yo, Hitman! Let's get one thing perfectly straight. You can come out here and say whatever you want about me. Everyone does. And you don't have to explain to me or the World Wrestling Federation that you would never give up the WWF title because no one knows better than me or the WWF that it takes a hand written note from the lord almighty to take that belt from you. But Bret, what you don't understand is just because I come out here and choose to live my life openly and freely instead of putting a facade like you does not make a you a better man Bret. I am well aware of my faults. I can admit them up and down the line. And as far as Steve Austin is concerned, Bret, I was there last night. He didn't give up, alright? Now I'm no fan of Steve Austin but he passed out and even you have to admit somewhere in there, there's gotta be some of the old Hit Man left, even you have to admit that he is one tough S.O.B. Now Bret, I have tried and tried and tried to take the high road and I am in no shape to wrestle and I know, you're tougher than me blahblahblah, whole thing. I admit that, that's fine. I don't have to be number one Bret. I don't obsess like you do. I do it because I like it. You do this because in your mind, marked man, you really think that all of this is yours! Now what you need to understand is that every time they reach into their pocket to watch you, me or anybody else is that they have the right to cheer or boo anybody that they want! Now, hey, you don't have to tell me "They're cheering me now." But they've booed me before. But you didn't see me getting all bent out of shape about it. You wanna know why Bret? It's because in this country, we something that's called the first amendment. And that amendment allows us to live our lives as we sit fit as long as it's causing harm to no one. If that guy there wants to stick a belly button piercing through his navel he can do it whether you like it or not! If that girl over there chooses to go out with someone you don't you approve of, "Tough kitty" said the kittie if she's going to do it! Now I'm going to get on my high and mighty roller coaster Bret. But you my friend, you gotta look at this, I'm in no shape to go. But if you want to go? What the hell? Let's go now. :'''Vince''': Don't tell me. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Shawn is in no condition to wrestle here. :'''Lawler''': Then what's he doing out there. :'''Vince''': Because he's got more guts than brains. :'''Lawler''': Right. :'''Shawn Michaels''': Do you know something? We've got a saying in the United States in American and it's called "America, Love it or Leave it!" :'''Bret Hart''': Shawn Michaels, Boy Toy, I think you should go back to the dressing room, get the hell out of my face. :'''Shawn Michaels''': You know me, Bret, I'm not real good with authority. By the way, how did you know I was in that girly magazine? You couldn't help yourself, could you? You had to flip through the pages just a little bit! :''[Bret attacks Shawn in the injured knee and puts him in the figure four around the ring post.]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Bret comes back out to do commentary during the Rocky Maivia/Leif Cassidy match-up]'' :'''Vince''': What has made you snap, Bret Hart? :'''Bret Hart''': I haven't snapped, I just opened my eyes. :'''Vince''': What?! :'''Bret Hart''': I call it opening my eyes! Why don't you open yours? Everybody in this building, they sit here and they cheer on Stone Cold Steve Austin, all these guys that set no example for anybody anywhere. And they have the nerve to actually cheer these guys on? Undertaker, there's a great role model. You know, I've had it up to here; I think people should open their eyes. I was the guy going to the ring every night wearing a white hat, trying to be a good person. Trying to be someone they could look up to. :'''Vince''': ''[As Shawn Michaels is shown being carried to an ambulance.]'' There's a good person. Look what you just did, Shawn Michaels. :'''Bret Hart''': Hey, I didn't ask him to come to the ring! I was trying to make a point and that is the point right there. Look at the screen, that is the point. I've had it up to here! Understand? Very simple. :'''Vince''': I think we do. But again, I don't understand the logic. I don't understand why you're throwing away your legacy! You're throwing it away! You're flushing your legacy down the toilet, Bret! :'''Bret Hart''': I didn't flush any legacy down any toilet. My toilet was flushed by all these people right here in this building. Not just in this building, but every building that I've wrestled in in the last three or four months. The only place I went to where I got a little respect was in Germany or England. Everywhere else-- or Canada. But in the United States of America, little kids holding up signs going "You suck!" You know what? I don't suck, they do! :'''Vince''': It's almost as if you're at war with yourself. :'''Bret Hart''': No, I'm not at war. Hey I feel like I got a million pounds off my chest. You want to see bad? I'll show you bad. Bad is something that you have never seen the likes of. You want to talk about wickedly bad? I'll show you wickedly bad! ''[runs into the ring and attacks Rocky Maivia]'' ===June 30=== :'''Paul Bearer''': "Well, we're gonna have to go back a few years, Mr. McMahon. About 20 years to be exact. We're talking about a little funeral home, sitting up on a hill – beautiful old trees all around – and a wonderful, wonderful family-owned funeral home. The family lived upstairs. The father was a mortician who ran the funeral home. The mother was the secretary, the receptionist. But there were two little kids there. One kid was a little red headed punk. And then there was a second kid – a sweet little kid named Kane. Now I was the apprentice at the funeral home. I worked under the red headed punk's father, who by now you properly know as The Undertaker. The Undertaker's father was a mortician of excellence. He told me everything I know. He told me the correct way to prepare a body for burial, how to do the make-up, how to deal with the families. He told me from A to Z. But while I was working on the funeral home, I've seen a lot of things going on, that shouldn't been happening. :This little red-headed punk, there was nothing funny about him. He had a look in his eye – the look of the devil! It was the devil's see if you know what I mean. What was so sad about the whole situation, is that poor little Kane, the little brother followed The Undertaker around everywhere he went. The Undertaker was little Kane's hero. Anything The Undertaker did was fine. It went on for about two years, my apprenticeship. I was at the college that night taking courses at Mortuary Science at the same time. The Undertaker and Kane would run around the funeral home like wild men. They had three reigning properties. They'd sneak out behind the garage. I'd see what they were doing. Their mom and daddy wouldn't see what they were doing but I saw what they were doing. I saw them, taking chemicals out of the embalming room in that funeral home. I saw them sneaking behind the garage, smoking cigarettes - when they were little kids. :But you know, one particular afternoon I was leaving to go to school. As I backed my car out of the funeral home, I looked behind and who do I see? That red head devil-seen Undertaker with his little brother. Something wasn't funny – it ain't. Something didn't seem right. But I went ahead and to the drive way, went to school. I came back from school about ten o'clock that night. And what do I see? I see fire trucks. I see ambulance. I see steam and smoke and I see that funeral home in ashes. Someone burnt down the funeral home. Inside that funeral home was this lovely family that took care of me. I looked over to the bushes. Who did I see in the bushes but The Undertaker? Undertaker, you burnt the funeral home to the ground. And along with the funeral home, you killed your parents. You killed your family, Undertaker! I know it. I've had to stick that on my inside all my life – 20 years. You've killed them. Undertaker, you are a MURDERER! YOU ARE A MURDERER! YOU'RE A GOD-DAMN MURDERER! === July 7 === :'''Bret Hart''': A few weeks ago, I was told ‘America: love it or leave it.’ Well, I’ve traveled all around the world, I’ve been all over the United States of America, and the one thing that I’ve in particular looked forward to is loving leaving it! <hr width=50%> :''[after Stone Cold Steve Austin defeats Hunter Hearst Helmsley thanks to interference from Mankind, whom Helmsley hit in the head with a steel chair. Austin grabs a microphone]'' :'''Jim Ross''': This could be damning. :'''Vince McMahon''': I hope he doesn’t say anything to the Canadians. :'''Steve Austin''': Get your ass up, you long-haired freak! :'''McMahon''': He’s talking - he’s talking to, to Mankind. :'''Austin''': There ain’t no way one chair can keep your ass down, get in the ring! ''[Mankind crawls into the ring]'' You come out here every week, saying “Pick me, Steve! Pick me, Steve!”. I’ll lay it on the line for you, you piece of trash: I don’t like you one bit! But I’ll damn sure go to war with you, if that’s what you want. All you gotta do is shake my hand, and we’re a tag team. :'''Jerry Lawler''': Whoa! :'''Ross''': Well, I guess the man with the personality of a rattlesnake is softening a little bit. :'''Lawler''': Finally Mankind gets what he wants! :'''Ross''': All Mankind ever wanted was to be accepted. :''[Mankind outstretches his arms]'' :'''Lawler''': He don’t want a handshake, he wants a hug! :''[Mankind and Austin share a big hug]'' :'''McMahon''': I can’t believe it. Another moment in the WWF. Mankind, now a partner - ''[suddenly Austin gives Mankind the Stone Cold Stunner]'' - oh! :'''Ross''': No! No! Not the Stunner! Damn him! :'''Austin''': DTA, you stupid piece of trash! Don’t ever trust nobody! You ain’t gonna be my partner, never, ‘cause you’re a long-haired freak, and you suck! ''[drops the microphone and raises his arms for the crowd]'' :'''McMahon''': My! Can’t believe that! :''[Austin leaves the ring and walks up the ramp to the cheers of the crowd]'' :'''Ross''': Well, if you’d like to have a pet rattlesnake, I’ll give you Austin’s phone number! :'''McMahon''': Thank you, no. This capacity crowd- :'''Mankind''' ''[grabbing the microphone]'': Austin! Austin!! I was just looking for a little bit of respect. I was looking for a friend, and you’ve ruined that all!! :'''Austin''' ''[from the top of the entrance ramp, grinning]'': Damn right! :'''Mankind''': So it’s become very apparent, that drastic measures will be taken! Because, next week, well, I’m going to have to do something I never thought I’d do again. ''[Austin leaves]'' And it will become very obvious that the World Wrestling Federation will never be the same! Steve Austin, ''you'' will never be the same! And without a doubt next week, Mankind...will NEVER BE THE SAME!!! ''[whimpers]'' === August 4 === :'''Vince''': Well, I guess maybe that pretty much tells you something - a mixed reaction by this capacity crowd. And there is no doubt whether you did your job or you didn't do your job, but if it haven't had been for you, the Undertaker might still be the World Wrestling Federation Champion. :'''Shawn''': So let me get this straight. You, the Undertaker, Bret "The Hitman" Hart and — the best that I can tell — all of the fans of the World Wrestling Federation are dumpin' this in my lap! :'''Vince''': I don't know if that's necessarily fair... :'''Shawn''': Shut up! Because you know something? It's just like you, it's just like Bret Hart and whether anybody in this arena likes it or not, it's just like all the fans of the World Wrestling Federation to not take responsibility for themselves and pass the buck on to the Heartbreak Kid because everybody knows I don't give a damn what anybody thinks of me! Shut up! :I went out there last night, for the first time in my career put on a referee's shirt and did one hell of a job. I called it down the middle. Right or wrong? :'''Vince''': Yes, you did. :'''Shawn''': Exactly. :'''Vince''': May I ask you a pertinent question, please? :'''Shawn''': Yeah, cough it up! :'''Vince''': Alright, it's on a lot of people's minds. It's something like this — it's controversial as it always is: Are you in any way in cahoots with Bret Hart? As preposterous as that may sound, a lot of people are wondering that. :'''Shawn''': You know, I've always known you are a nimrod, but now you have convinced me that you are the dumbest sonofabitch I've ever met in my life. :'''Vince''': Well, first of all, I don't appreciate that. Let's get that straight, okay? :'''Shawn''': Ooohh, shoot me while I shudder in my loafers, McMahon! :'''Vince''': Well you just might be shuddering come September 7, when you step into this ring with the Undertaker. That's when you gonna be shuddering! You can take this here. :'''Shawn''': Get your ass out of here! ''[Vince leaves]'' You can move it or lose it, McMahon! Let me tell everybody what the story is. I am not in any way, shape or form in cahoots with Bret Hart. It is no secret that Bret Hart doesn't like me, Bret Hart doesn't respect me, but one thing is for damn sure, Bret Hart needs me! Because I am the only man in the World Wrestling Federation that has beat his ass! And that is the truth! :And Undertaker... Undertaker, you and I, for as long as we've been in the World Wrestling Federation have never crossed paths. EXCEPT FOR NOW! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' Michaels sucks! :'''Shawn''': Oh, I'm gonna tell you people something. Undertaker, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels lays down for absolutely no one! I don't do it for Bret Hart, I don't do it for you, I don't do it for the fans of the World Wrestling Federation, I don't do it for anybody. Undertaker, the next time you see Shawn Michaels, his Super... :'''Crowd''': You suck! :'''Shawn''': Ten years! Ten years I've given you, and this is the respect that you give me. Each and everyone of you can go to hell! Undertaker, the next time you'll see me, my Superkick is gonna be one foot down your throat! === August 18 === :'''Jim Ross''': Steve, I want to thank you for allowing us to come to your hotel room here, I know you've got a very busy and a very crucial 24-hour period here in Philadelphia, seeing a specialist tomorrow about your neck, but thanks for giving us a little of your time. :'''Steve Austin''': Well you're welcome for the time, but if you're here to ask a bunch of questions, you might as well start asking, otherwise I'll throw your ass out the window. And to come to the hotel room, this ain't a hotel room that I would stay at! You know, when I got hurt at SummerSlam, when I got dumped on my head, no one called me and said, "Hey, Steve, you okay?" No one ever sent a card, nothin' like that. Not that I would expect it, but at least I would have, you know, maybe a call just to see what the hell's goin' on with the hottest damn wrestler in the world, but I got nothin'! So the WWF sees fit to put me in a room like this, with all this fruit and trash like this, you want a pear? ''[Starts tossing fruit at Jim Ross]'' You want an apple? You want a banana or somethin'? Here, make yourself at home, man! ''[Austin tosses the entire fruit basket at Ross]'' But if you got questions to ask, you go ahead and ask 'em, 'cause I'm gettin' a little tired of you! :'''Jim Ross''': I'd like you to address three things, if you don't mind. :'''Steve Austin''': Sure. :'''Jim Ross''': One is SummerSlam, your paralysis after being driven in the mat from the Tombstone by Owen Hart; the second thing is what the doctors have told you; and thirdly, and lastly, what you perceive your future to be here in the WWF. :'''Steve Austin''': Well, let's start with SummerSlam. The bottom line is I'm the Intercontinental Champion. Right? :'''Jim Ross''': Right. :'''Steve Austin''': Well, that's that. But aside from that, at the end of the match, close to the end of the match when Owen Hart dumped me on my head - you figure I weight 245, 250, bam, you get planted in the mat, shit happens! And that's, for basically about 50 seconds there, I couldn't move my arms or my legs, and I didn't know if I ever would move again! It felt pretty damn scary, so, um, you know, I'm through with that, looking past that, I've watched that on tape probably 30 or 40 times and it still sucks every time I see it! But I'm over it, and I'm movin' around, and I'm happy about that! But Owen Hart has got hell to pay! You get dumped on your head, you get in the position that I was put in, it ain't worth a damn. And I, I'm just, uh, a little bit pissed off No, I'm not a little pissed off, I'm a whole lot pissed off, but you know what they say, it's better to be pissed off than pissed on. But Owen Hart's got hell to pay when I come back, and as you say, you've got another question, what was the other question? :'''Jim Ross''': The doctors, you've seen several doctors... :'''Steve Austin''': I've seen a couple of doctors, and one guy said, uh, uh, "Maybe you should do something else." Well, Steve Austin doesn't do anything else, what I do is wrestle, and I'm the best wrestler in the world, and can't nobody tell me different! So I'm supposed to see the top guy, uh, the top spine guy in the country tomorrow here in Philadelphia, and see what he has to say, and it doesn't matter really what he says, the end result, the decision's mine! He can sit there and say, "Don't do this, try not to do this," whatever, but the bottom line is I'm the one that makes the decision, so I'll sit there, rethink things, and go from there. But regardless of what he says, Owen Hart's got hell to pay! You know, when you do something to...when you do what he did to me, you know, if it's my last step in life, you can damn well bet he's gonna get the shit kicked out of him one way or the other, and that's it. You know, I don't know when, where or how, or what, but it's gonna happen. :As far as my future - don't sit there and try to butt in because I'm talkin', right? Okay, as far as my future goes, hell, like I said, I'll listen to what the doctor says, but I'm gonna do what I want. The future for Steve Austin, as far as I'm concerned, is to put on his black trunks and black boots and show up. Im'ma take a few days off, I'll probably take a few weeks off, because, you know, when you're sittin' there at the house, you watch a film of, uh, you gettin' paralyzed for another 50 seconds, you watch that 30 or 40 times, you know, it kinda, you get a little depressed! So I drank a few cases of beer, I'll tell you exactly what I did. I just ride around in my Ford, drink a few beers and sit there and think about it. But, uh, I'm gonna go see this doctor and see what he has to say, and, but as far as I'm concerned, the only way I can see my future is to be Stone Cold Steve Austin, continue on right through the top in the WWF, just like I've done since I've been here! All the damn bureaucratic red tape, all the bullshit I've been through, it's taken me eight years to get where I'm at right now! If you think for one split second that a piledriver's gonna stop me, it ain't gonna happen. Did it slow me down? Damn right, but it ain't gonna stop me. Ground Zero, Sub-Zero, whatever the hell you wanna call it, Louisville, I'll be there! Whether it's to hand the belt over, if I decide maybe it's time to hang it up, I'll do that! I don't think that's gonna happen. I think when, uh, Ground Zero rolls around, you'll see Stone Cold - don't wipe your nose, it pisses me off - you'll see Stone Cold Steve Austin - and don't smile - you'll see Stone Cold Steve Austin in a black pair of trunks and a black pair of boots, and I'll be out there whippin' somebody's ass! I don't know what kind of match it is, it's some kind of little, uh, four tag teams of some kind of shit like that, is that right? :'''Jim Ross''': That's right. :'''Steve Austin''': Okay, well, I'll be there! And... what gets me is, is that Steve Austin's in a new level now, because, you know, if,if I was pissed off before, I'm a lot more pissed off now, and that makes me even more dangerous, not a liability, and that's the bottom line! You got anything else you wanna say? :'''Jim Ross''': No sir. :'''Steve Austin''': Then get the hell out. === September 22 === :''[Before the police arrest Austin, Vince comes into the ring]'' :'''Vince''': What’s the matter with you?! Get ahold of yourself! :'''Lawler''': Arrest him! :'''Vince''': ''[To the police]'' Just give me a minute. Just give me a minute! ''[To Austin]'' What is the matter with you? You had to forfeit the Intercontinental title, the Tag Team title, of course everybody can understand why you’re upset. I can understand you being upset not being able to compete, I can understand that. But don’t break the law! :'''Lawler''': He already did...look at this! :'''Jim Ross''': Stone Cold's not gonna win this fight with New York City's finest. :'''Vince''': Don't you understand? Don’t you understand why you’re not allowed to compete? Can’t you get that through your head? Don’t you know why? Don’t you know that you’re not physically able to compete? Your doctors say you’re not ready. If you compete, you could injure yourself for good! You could wind up paralyzed! And the WWF is not gonna stand by and let you do that to yourself. These people don’t want you to wind up in a wheelchair! They wanna see you compete. Everybody wants to see you compete. But in due time, Steve. In due time. ''[Austin looks at his watch]'' :'''Lawler''': Listen to McMahon, get the violins. :'''Vince''': Get ahold of yourself. :'''Jim Ross''': He's telling the truth. Makes all the sense in the world. :'''Lawler''': ''[indicating the cops]'' He'd better be talking to those guys over there. I say put him in the slammer! :'''Vince''': Listen, don’t you know people care? In the World Wrestling Federation, we care. They care, they care about you, that’s all it is. And you just gotta go with it. In other words, you simply, you gotta work within the system. That’s all you gotta do, is just work within the system. :'''Steve Austin''': You know as well as I do that this is what I do for a livin’. This is all that I do, and can’t nobody tell I ain’t the best in the damn world. Don’t even say nothin’. Don’t say nothin’. You sit here and tell me to work within the system. You ain’t the one sittin’ on your ass in the house like I am. But if that’s what it takes to make you or the World Wrestling Federation happy, hell, I feel like Cool Hand Luke. I’ll work within your stupid little system. :'''Vince''': That's all that these people a— :'''Steve Austin''': I appreciate the fact that you and the World Wrestling Federation ''care''. And I also appreciate the fact...that, hell, ''you can kiss my ass''! :''[Austin kicks McMahon in the gut and Stuns him]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Oh, God! Oh my God! :'''Lawler''': Put him in jail!

Hunter and especially your finer Chyna, I know what you must be thinking. 'Dude, what are you doing back here, when you should be out there kicking some heavy duty booty all over The Garden?' Hunter, my man, I do believe it's time we had a little rap, ho-ho. Because you see, Falls Count Anywhere— Well, that not exactly my bag, baby. The pinfalls in the hot dog stands, the pinfalls in the street, the chairs, the tables, it's not exactly a Love thing. But I know somebody, daddy, who's bag it indeed is. He's my man, he's my main man, you might even say, well daddy, he's a ''kind'' man.

Go ahead! Here's your chance. Go ahead and laugh at me. Stand up, call me names, do what you wanna do. Here's your chance. The one you should be laughing at is your so-called phenom. The one you should be laughing at is your hero, The Undertaker. The proof is here. I tried to go back to The Undertaker, he wouldn't take me back. I had to do what I had to do. He slapped me around, he called me a liar. He burned me! Burned! :Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present to you, The Undertaker's little brother: Kane! Look close, Undertaker. The whole world saw your face last night, when you stood for the first time in twenty years face-to-face with your own brother. We can all tell by the look in your eyes that you knew it was him. Yes, oh yes, he's alive. Look at his eye, Undertaker. He's missing an eye. And it's your fault! The 20 years of suffering, the 20 years of hiding-out is now over. And we have you to thank, Undertaker. :Undertaker, this is your Stop sign on your highway to eternity. Starting with these boys tonight, we are gonna walk through the World Wrestling Federation, take each one, each wrestler, one by one and destroy them. Until we reach you! You, Undertaker. That is why Kane is here. And we have you to thank. Every time you look around, you're going to see your brother behind you. Every time you close your eyes to go to sleep, you're going to remember that terrible night. The fire! Oh yes, the fire.

Oh, Vin-man, what's the matter? That subject's still a little too sensitive for you, big man. ''[Both get out of ring and approach Vince at announcers' desk]'' Vinnie Mac, what's the matter? Come on, what's the matter? Is your dad rolling over in his grave? The family traditions in the McMahon...has it come to an end because me and my buddies made an ass out of ya? Come on, you were an ass long before I made one out of ya! <hr width=50%/> :'''Jim Cornette''': This is Jim Cornette, and the views that I'm about to express are not necessarily those of anybody else but me. But they oughta be. And as a matter of fact, they probably are. :You know, a lot of things in the wrestling world make me cranky these days, especially the way some talent is treated and some talent is looked at by not only the promoters, but the wrestling fans as well. For example, a man like Arn Anderson who just had to retire from this sport, after giving it his entire life, because of an injury that he suffered; a guy like "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who in my opinion, is one of the greatest talents in the history of this business; guys like Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love, whatever you want to call him. Great talents in the WWF or WCW. :But who gets a lot of the attention, from the wrestling fans especially? Guys like the NWO, the New World Order. You know, all the fans think these guys are so cool and so ''sweeeeet'', and so funny. Well, as far as I'm concerned, the NWO is like a bunch of guys meeting out in the backyard in a clubhouse in a tree. They're guys who, all they have to do... They got the easiest job in the world... All they have to do is go out there and be themselves—childish, obnoxious, adolescent guys with a case of severe arrested emotional development, and a fixation on trying to act macho. :You got a guy like Kevin Nash, 40 years old, trying to act like a teenager. Far as I'm concerned, the biggest no-talent in the business. He's got six moves, no mobility, and enough timing to cover up for some of it. But what he does is he goes around and he manipulates. Kevin Nash had a multi-million dollar promotional company, the WWF, push him to the moon to make him a star, and then what does he do? He leaves—after he gives his word he's staying, so by the way, he's a liar, too—he leaves and he goes to WCW for a big contract. Why? More on that later. :You got a guy like Scott Hall, who's a good wrestler, but "good" is about it. He's the best of the bunch. But he had the same million dollar promotional company make him a star, after he'd been in the business 10 years without putting three asses in a seat. And what does he do? He goes to WCW for a big contract. Why? More on that later. :And then you got a guy... Syxx, 1-2-3 Kid, his name's Sean Waltman. Whatever you want to call him. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason that he's employed is because the other guys think that he's funny when he gets drunk and throws up on himself. He has the distinction, in case you haven't noticed, of being the only guy since this "wrestling war" got started, that was released from a valid contract from one company to go to the other side, which shows you how valuable he is. :You know why they're all employed? Why they're all in the spot they are today? Because of Eric Bischoff. The boss of WCW, not the NWO. Look at the credits on their PPV if you can get one for free! The idiot's name is on it! He's the boss of WCW, he works for Ted Turner, and he throws a billionaire's money around, just like water, so he can have guys that he likes to hang out with. :Because, even more than being a mark—yeah, for his own face and his own voice—Eric Bischoff is a guy who's a big fan of hanging around studly guys with long hair and beards, that smoke cigars, and ride Harleys. So that some of that can rub off on his little pansy-ass frame. So he takes that billionaire's money, and he throws that around like water to buy guys that he can hang around, to prove that his johnson is bigger than everybody else's. And that's the sole reason the NWO guys are employed. :I think, me personally, that it's about time that the wrestling fans and the promoters, all of them in this business, start recognizing guys like "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, like Arn Anderson, like Cactus Jack. Guys who bust their ass, who work hard, and have ability and have talent to get where they are, instead of a bunch of guys that get to their spot by hanging around with the boss and sucking up. I'm Jim Cornette, and that's my opinion. === October 13 === :'''Bret''': ''[to Shawn and Hunter on the TitanTron]'' Why don't you two degenerates come down here right now and step in the ring with me right now? Either one of you, I don't care! Either one of you, right now! :'''Shawn''': Is he challenging me? :'''Hunter''': Is he challenging us? :'''Shawn''': Now regularly, regularly I would take him up on his challenge. But you know why I'm not gonna? You know why I'm not gonna? I'll tell you why. Because the last time I took him up on a challenge was [[w:WrestleMania XII|WrestleMania]], and I beat his ass for that stupid piece of tin he's got on his shoulder; and at [[w:Survivor Series (1997)|Survivor Series]], I'm gonna take that stupid piece of tin you got on your shoulder once again. I've beaten you, I've beaten your brother, I've beat both your brother-in-laws, and I'll beat up your whole family if you get in my face one more time. :'''Hunter''': And as far as I'm concerned, Bret Hart, you want a piece of me, huh?! ''[Shawn holds him back]'' You want a piece of me?! Come on! I'll take you on, Hitman! I'll give you the worst beating of your life! Hey, wait a second. I did that last week. I did that last week, Hitman! So never mind, I don't need to do it twice! I already did it! :'''Shawn''': I tell you, I took so many shots to my head, I almost forgot how bad we beat him up last week. Hitman, I got news for you. Sometime during this show, we are gonna cross paths. And you talk about us being degenerates. You know what, I'm tired of Generation X getting a bad rap. :'''Hunter''': Do you think you're a degenerate? :'''Shawn''': Well, do you think ''you're'' a degenerate? :'''Hunter''': Well, I mean... :'''Shawn''': I mean, I'm positive I'm one. :'''Hunter''': I guess I'd have to be one then. :'''Shawn''': Well you know what? Generation X always gets a bad rap, everybody calls us degenerates. Degeneration X, is that us? Degeneration X—Triple H, HBK, Chyna, Ravishing Rick. We are Degeneration X—you make the rules, and we...will...break 'em! <hr width=50%/> :'''Jim Cornette''': I'm Jim Cornette, and the views I'm about to express are my own, but as you'll see, they may be yours, too. :There's a man named Phil Mushnick who writes columns for the New York Post and for TV Guide. You probably never heard of Mr. Mushnick, but you should because he's had some pretty nasty things to say about you. You see, Phil Mushnick hates pro wrestling and he's not content just to change the channel. He doesn't want you be able to watch it, either. Not the WWF, WCW, ECW, ''nothing''. :And for the past several years, Mushnick has led a one-man campaign to have the wrestling industry abolished. Recently, when Ted Turner donated one billion dollars to charity, Mr. Mushnick said "the world would be better served if he closed up WCW." Phil Mushnick is the man who called for and spearheaded the media and publicity barrage over the federal indictment of Vince McMahon and the WWF on steroid charges. And even though McMahon and the WWF were proven totally innocent in a federal courtroom, Mushnick ignores that fact to this very day and writes his columns as if it were a fact that they were proven guilty just so he can continue his one-man crusade. He even wrote a column one time about the Madison Square Garden Network firing Marv Albert, saying that the Garden should cancel wrestling matches, too. :But Phil Mushnick not only hates wrestling, he hates wrestling fans. Here's a few things he's had to say about you, and I quote: :"If not for America's lunatic fringe and the disaffected, WCW would be out of business. If you can tell me that you would bring an important child in your life to a pro wrestling match, I have no gripe with you because you clearly don't know right from wrong. And the overwhelming majority of the wrestling fans who contact me simply prove my point by flooding my mailbox with profanities, obscenities, and other acts that show them to be a disenfranchised sub-culture." :Well, Mr. Mushnick, I'm a wrestling fan and a lot of the people who read the New York Post and TV Guide are wrestling fans, too. And we don't enjoy being insulted by publications we pay money to read. We don't appreciate being told we don't know how to parent our children! We don't want a pompous, self-righteous man with a grudge sitting on top of Mount Olympus looking down his nose at us campaigning to take away the constitutional right that every American is guaranteed, to freedom of speech, freedom of choice, and freedom to enjoy whatever entertainment we choose! Those are ''facts'', Mr. Mushnick, not rumors, not suppositions, but ''facts''. You oughta try to deal in them sometime. And I think it's time that the millions of people you belittle as subhuman every chance you get tell the New York Post and TV Guide what ''they'' think of ya. :But if this has been going on so long, why am I mad right now? Because recently, Phil Mushnick used Brian Pillman's death to call for another outcry against wrestling, and I quote once again: :"The problem is the mainstream media don't look hard enough at pro wrestling. Imagine if middle-aged pro baseball players dropped dead on a regular basis, this would be page one stuff, and a federal inquiry would be launched." :''[At this point, Cornette is seething with anger.]'' :Well, Brian Pillman was a friend of mine. From the time he was born with throat cancer, he had the courage to undergo 36 different throat operations. He had the courage to withstand the punishment of pro football and ten years as a pro wrestler. He had the courage to come back from a car wreck that shattered his ankle, and from a lot of other personal tragedies. And then one night, he went to sleep in a hotel room and he died. And for you, Phil Mushnick, to use his death as an excuse for another call to action in your one-man vendetta against pro wrestling is more ''vulgar'' and more ''obscene'' than anything that you've ever falsely accused the wrestling industry of being guilty of! So on behalf of the wrestling fans, the wrestling industry, the friends and family of Brian Pillman, and anyone in this country that denies any one man the right to force his morals and his beliefs on all of us and to take away our constitutional rights, on behalf of those people, I say ''go to hell, Phil Mushnick''! And try to reform things down there because we're doing just fine without you! :I'm Jim Cornette, and that's my opinion. === October 27 === :'''Jim Cornette''': I'm Jim Cornette. I'm just wondering if there's any people that are sick and tired as I am to be the icon of wrestling. Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper claim to be the icon, Shawn Michaels is the icon that can still go, Bret Hart would claim to be the icon if he wasn't too busy crying about being screwed, and Randy Savage is still "Thinkin', Thinkin'!" Well, Shawn Michaels is still the single most talented athlete inside the ring, but outside he's an adolescent obnoxious jerk who takes the tights and goes home if he doesn't get his way. Bret Hart is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but if he'd have been screwed as many times as he claims, he'd have struck oil by now. And Randy Savage is a legend, but let's face it, how many records did Frank Sinatra sell last year? But the pinnacle of this icon garbage came at last night's cage match between Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper to determine—in their minds only—who the real icon is. WCW had the gall to say that this is the greatest cage match in history when it was the greatest in three weeks since Hell in a Cell. But here, you've got a 46-year-old, bald-headed movie star wannabe who looks like Uncle Creepy with a good build, taking on a guy with an artificial hip that hasn't wrestled a full schedule in ten years. It's a tribute to the massive egotism in my mind of both men and an indictment of WCW's promotional policies that this match took place, much less being in the main event when the card was probably the best that WCW was capable of having. By the ten minute mark, they were sucking wind so bad, the first three rows passed out of oxygen deprivation. Would've been funny if it wasn't sad. Well, I'm sick and damn tired of hearing guys claim to be the icon, especially when it used to come from guys who usually didn't know when to quit. Roddy Piper was my idol when I was a teenager, but that was 20 years ago. Hulk Hogan, during his best years, was 50% media recreation, and those days are long gone. This match was a slap in the face to every wrestler that takes pride in his profession, and in my mind, no one man is bigger in this sport. But if there is an icon, it would be a man who has great ability inside the ring, and professionalism and maturity outside of it. Let's leave all the petty backstabbing "I make more money than you," BS with the hat check girl and let's concentrate on talent and attitude. The Undertaker, Ric Flair and Steve Austin have never claimed to be icons, which means that they are big candidates to be just that. And on a personal note to Hulk Hogan, you are a household word, but so is garbage and it stinks when it gets old too. I'm Jim Cornette, and that's my opinion. === November 17 === :'''Jim Ross''': Let's cut right to the chase here. Seven days ago at the Survivor Series, did you, or did you not, [[w:Montreal Screwjob|screw Bret Hart]]? :'''Vince''': Some would say I screwed Bret Hart; Bret Hart would definitely tell you I screwed him. I look at it from a different standpoint. I look at it from the standpoint of the referee did not screw Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels certainly did not screw Bret Hart, nor did Vince McMahon screw Bret Hart. I truly believe that Bret Hart screwed Bret Hart, and he can look in the mirror and know that. :'''Jim Ross''': I'm sure in some parts of the country right now, there's a collective groan that you're not accepting responsibility, that you orchestrated the situation, and the fact that there are people not gonna understand what you mean by, "Bret Hart screwed Bret Hart," so what do you mean by that? :'''Vince''': Well, I will certainly take responsibility for any decision I've ever made; I've never had a problem doing that. Not that all of my decisions are accurate—they're not—but when I make a bad decision, I'm not above saying I'm sorry and trying to do the best about it that I can. Hopefully, the batting average is pretty good—I make more good decisions than I do bad decisions. And as far as screwing Bret Hart is concerned, there's a time-honored tradition in the wrestling business that when someone is leaving, that they show the right amount of respect to the WWF superstars, in this case, who helped make you that superstar. You show the proper respect to the organization that helped you become who you are today. It's a time-honored tradition, and Bret Hart didn't wanna honor that tradition, and that's something I never, ever would've expected from Bret because he is known as somewhat of a traditionalist in this business. It would've never crossed my mind that Bret would not have wanted to show the right amount of respect to the superstar who helped make him and the organization who helped make him what he is today. Nonetheless, that was Bret's decision. Bret screwed Bret. :'''Jim Ross''': Some folks along the Internet know that, in 1996, Bret signed a 20-year contract with the WWF. Then I'm sure there are some at home now, some folks are saying, "well, how could Bret Hart be...he's got 18 years left on the contract. How can he leave?" Did Bret Hart ask you to leave the WWF, or did you ask him to leave the WWF? :'''Vince''': This was a joint decision and it vacillated somewhat as well. It was a joint decision from both Bret and me. And ultimately what happened was the two of us got together and orchestrated the opportunity for Ted Turner's wrestling organization to quote, "steal," Bret. I felt that, for business reasons, that Bret Hart and the salary we were paying him was not justified. And Bret felt that for creative reasons and the fact that he had become sort of second banana in his own mind to Shawn Michaels who had, quote, "stolen his spot." So for financial reasons on my part, and creative reasons on Bret Hart's part, the two of us got together and decided, "okay, let's do the very best we can for you, Bret." So the two of us orchestrated Bret Hart receiving a three-year deal, in which he is paid $3 million a year, which I believe is the richest deal in all of professional wrestling, and that's for working 125 days a year. So I felt from a personal standpoint that if Bret wasn't a great investment any longer for the WWF, although I really didn't want him to go, but nonetheless, that the least I could do for Bret is to help him help himself. And I told Bret, "Bret, if you in fact get this deal from Turner, I am going to be the first person personally to congratulate you." And I was. From a business standpoint, I didn't really want to lose Bret. He wasn't paying off from a financial standpoint, but nonetheless, I really didn't want to lose Bret. :'''Jim Ross''': Certainly, the bitterness of the loss at the Survivor Series could never be more prevalent. He stands in the ring and spits in your face. Shortly thereafter, he is destroying WWF television equipment. Were you prepared for what happened after the match? :'''Vince''': I was disappointed in Bret when he hit me. Very disappointed. Um, I sustained a concussion, as a result of it, with vision problems to this day. I'll get over it. I didn't think it was the right thing to do. Bret seems to be crowing about that, that I've read, where, you know, he feels proud of striking me. And it wasn't a question of a confrontation because even at 52 years old, I dare say that perhaps things would have been a little different if there was a confrontation. I allowed Bret to strike me, I had hoped that he wouldn't. I had hoped that we could sit down and try and work things out as gentlemen. That's what I had really hoped for. But that's not what happened. :'''Jim Ross''': Have you considered pressing charges or perusing legal remedies for that situation in his locker room? :'''Vince''': I have considered it. I think those options are still available. I'm not pursuing it at the moment. I guess it all depends on Bret as to whether or not I do. :'''Jim Ross''': If you were only a story writer, and the Survivor Series was the final chapter in the story of Bret Hart, the WWF years, how would have preferred to write the final chapter? :'''Vince''': As a storyteller, I would have hoped that Bret's story would be a dramatic one. I would hope that Bret's story would be one that would give him dignity, that would give him the poise to state that, "I was, maybe, the greatest WWF Superstar ever," in terms of his departure. And one way of being able to give back to the company, being able to give back to those individuals, those superstars, who helped you achieve the level of success that you have, when you know that you are leaving in a time-honored tradition, might have been, for argument's sake, that after the most grueling match that Bret ever had in his life, that Bret was pinned. But in that small moment of defeat, Bret would have stood straight up and shown the whole world what a true champion, both as a human being and a wrestling persona, he really is. And if I had been Bret, if I were writing the story, I can see Bret, after a 1-2-3, simply saying, "Okay," to his opponent, "you got the best of me. I want to congratulate you. I want to stick my hand out and congratulate you. And furthermore, I want everyone in the whole locker room to watch my match, so that I can show, for those who follow in my footsteps, the way in a time-honored tradition, this is to be done. To show every individual, every secretary, everyone in Titan Sports, the WWF, who counts on me to do the right thing, that I was there, that I was a Superstar, maybe the greatest of ever. And I went out the way a true champion would go out." :'''Jim Ross''': Are you able to step back and objectively look at this thing and evaluate your friend, your perhaps former friend Bret Hart, the human being, and have sympathy for this man? :'''Vince''': Sympathy? I have no sympathy for Bret whatsoever. None. I have no sympathy for someone who is supposed to be a wrestling traditionalist, not doing the right thing for the business that made him, not doing the right thing for the fans and the performers and the organization who helped make him what he is today. Bret made a very, very selfish decision. Bret's gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life. Bret screwed Bret. I have no sympathy whatsoever for Bret. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jim Ross''': This is a crazy question. Would you welcome Bret Hart back? If he said, "you know Vince, I've changed my mind. Can I come back?" Would you allow him to return to the WWF? I mean, he spit in your face, notwithstanding destroying television monitors & equipment, certainly notwithstanding the fact that he punched you. Would you allow him to ever come back to the WWF if that was an option? :'''Vince''': This is a strange business, and yes, I would. We would have to have a real frank understanding. I would want to hear Bret say, "Vince, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be selfish, I just kind of lost it there for a while." And I have no problem saying, "Bret, jeez, I'm sorry that I had to do what I had to do as well." Would I welcome him back? I also would tell Bret no more free shots. I would want that strictly from a man's standpoint, I'd want him to know that. And in the future if we're going to have problems along those lines, in the locker room or anywhere else, okay, we're going to have them, but no more free shots. Yeah. If Bret could tear up his contract with the other guys right now and return, I'd welcome Bret back under those conditions. :'''Jim Ross''': Was his motivation...do you believe his motivations then, primarily? He said he didn't leave here for the money. :'''Vince''': There were signs in the arena following Survivor Series, "Bret sold out." Bret seems to be sensitive to that subject, that he doesn't want to be known as someone who sold out. I'm proud of the fact that I helped Bret sell out. And that's what Bret did, he sold out. And it's not a big deal because I helped him do it. So, do I think that Bret left for the money? I think that when your making $3 million a year, and you're working 125 days of that year, I think Bret sold out, and I don't blame him for selling out. I helped him sell out. Matter of fact, I would suggest there could be a long line outside the next locker room with wrestlers begging me, "Vince, help me sell out." So, do I think he sold out? Yeah, and I think that every time Bret says, "No, I didn't do it for the money," I think that Bret loses credibility every time he says that. :'''Jim Ross''': Did this whole ugly ordeal with Bret Hart affect you more professionally, the businessman side of Vince McMahon, or the personal side of Vince McMahon? :'''Vince''': From the business side, the WWF will go on beyond Bret Hart. From the personal side, it definitely has affected me. I think that Bret and I...you can't end a 14-year relationship like was ended without having feelings. I regret that I felt that I was forced into making the decision that I made. I regret that Bret didn't do the right thing for the business and for himself, because it wouldn't have cost him one dollar less with his deal with Turner. I regret that his fans, if there is such a thing separate from WWF fans, are in any way hurt by any of this. I regret that his family is enduring...having to endure this tirade that Bret seems to be on. I regret that a member of my family, my son, had to witness some of this, especially in the locker room. I regret all of that, from a personal standpoint, yet steadfast remain that I made a tough decision, but it was the right decision for the WWF fans and the WWF superstars that remain here loyal to us. :'''Jim Ross''': If you had the opportunity to speak with Bret, and now's not a bad opportunity, because you know he watching. Everybody involved in this situation is watching this right now. What would you say to him now? :'''Vince''': Probably what I said to him in the locker room, and that is that he made a mistake, that I believe he'll regret from a professional standpoint, didn't have to be made that way. I felt I had to do what I had to do for my company, and our fans, and our superstars that remain here. And I'm unwavering in that point of view, and perhaps Bret is unwavering in his point of view. I don't know that we'll ever get together, I hope we will one day. It's too bad that a 14-year relationship was destroyed because one member of that relationship forgot that we're in the sports-entertainment business. Forgot where he came from. :'''Jim Ross''': When will you be over this? :'''Vince''': I'm over it now. At the same time, Bret has been such a part of the WWF. Bret will always...a part of Bret will always be here in the World Wrestling Federation, and I'm going to remember the good times. I'm going to remember all the things that we did with Bret, which he performed to his greatest degree possible, and told those wonderful stories. I'm going to remember Bret as the Excellence of Execution. It's just too damn bad that in the end, Bret really wasn't "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be." And he had that opportunity to live up to that in his final match in the WWF, and he failed. === December 15 === :'''Jim Ross''' ''[describing Steve Austin’s trip after leaving the arena]'': This could be a [[w:P. J. Carlesimo|P.J. Carlesimo]] situation. :'''Jim Cornette''': Who? <hr width=50%> :'''Vince McMahon''': Owen Hart, I know you are here tonight. You've been spotted. Owen Hart, I know you can hear my voice, wherever you may be in this arena. And I must inform you that you've been endangering indeed the safety certainly of our ringside fans with your antics as of late. :'''Jim Cornette''': McMahon's turning into [[w:In Living Color|Fire Marshall Bill]] with all this "fan safety" business. :'''Vince''': You've been crawling over ringside fans coming into the ring interfering in matches with Shawn Michaels. And make no mistake: I don't give a damn about Shawn Michaels – it's just that you're endangering the safety of ringside fans by coming in and coming out. That will not be tolerated. I know you can hear me. I like to remind you, Owen: You are still under contract to the World Wrestling Federation. And as such, I'm ordering you to appear in this ring, right now. ''[Owen Hart walks to the ring from somewhere in the audience to "Owen" chants]'' What's this all about, and who do you think you are? :'''Owen Hart''': ''[takes off shades]'' Who do I think I am? ''[pokes Vince]'' Who the HELL do you think you are?! You think I owe you a goddamn apology?! I don't owe you a goddamn thing! I'm sick and tired of trying to please everybody else around here, and the bullshit stops right here! :'''Cornette''': Well, ''that's'' showing McMahon plenty of respect! :'''Jim Ross''': This could get very, very ugly in a hurry. :'''Owen''': Now my brother, Bret, and Neidhart, and Bulldog, they did what they had to do, and now it's time for ''me'' to do what I have to do, and that is remain right here in the World Wrestling Federation! ''[crowd cheers]'' Now, I spent nine years breaking my back day-after-day to earn a reputation in this company, and nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is going to run me out of this company, and you know EXACTLY who I'm talking about! :'''Vince''': Oh yeah, I have a real good idea who you're talking about. You're talking about self-professed "Showstopper," right? You're talking about the Icon, you're talking about the WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels. And isn't that really what it's all about, Owen? Huh? Isn't that what this whole thing's all about? You attempting to gain the only title that's eluded you in your career here? It's all about the WWF Title, isn't it? :'''Owen''': How stupid are you? Is that what you think this is about?! Do you think I give a damn about a worthless title: a piece of leather with tin on it?! This is real life, Vince. This is real life - MY life! MY reputation! MY respect! MY dignity! And McMahon, don't you get me wrong. I'm not ASKING you, I am TELLING you exactly what I am going to do! And that is... and that is make Shawn Michaels' life a living HELL! :'''Ross''': A lot of that going around these days. :'''Cornette''': I--I know what you mean! :'''Vince''' ''[exasperated]'': Let me tell you-- :'''Owen''': Listen to me for a second. You can call me the "Sole Survivor," you can call me the "Black Sheep," I really don't give a shit! :'''Ross''': Uh-oh. Not good. :'''Owen''': Shawn Michaels, this is not a game, this is real life, and you started it... and now, it's time for this "little nugget" to end it! :'''Ross''': Shawn Michaels is a marked man, and so is Helmsley! :'''Vince''': All right, now let me tell you what ''I'm'' going to do, Mr. Hart. I believe we have some uniformed security I'd like to ask to come to the ring. ''[crowd boos]'' And the reason I'd like to ask for uniformed security, Mr. Hart, is to make sure that, again, we do not endanger the safety of any of our ringside fans, because next week... next week, right here, you're gonna come in to the ring down the ramp like every other WWF superstar, and you're gonna compete in this ring next week just like every other WWF superstar. You're not gonna run over any more ringside fans – all right?! :'''Cornette''' ''[as security surrounds Owen]'': That's every cop in New Hampshire! :'''Ross''' ''[as Owen approaches Vince]'': Look out here. I don't like the look in Owen Hart's eyes. He's been under a tremendous amount of stress. :'''Cornette''': Looks like a hungry dog eyeing a steak! :'''Ross''': Owen could snap at any-- :''[Owen grabs Vince and stares him down]'' :'''Cornette''': Hey! :'''Ross''': Oh, uh-oh! :'''Cornette''' ''[as Owen pushes Vince away and Vince motions for security to get Owen out]'': Just to prove he can do it! Whatever Shawn Michaels has to say, I'll tell you what: in my opinion, Owen Hart's got some big nuggets! ''[Owen gets taken out of the arena through the crowd as they chant his name]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Vince McMahon''': It has been said that anything can happen here in the World Wrestling Federation, but now more than ever, truer words have never been spoken. This is a conscious effort on our part to "Open the Creative Envelope", so to speak, in order to entertain you in a more contemporary manner. Even though we call ourselves "sports entertainment" because of the athleticism involved, the key word in that phrase is "entertainment". The WWF extends far beyond the strict confines of sports presentation into the wide open environment of broad-based entertainment. We borrow from such program niches like soap operas like ''[[w:Days of our Lives|The Days of our Lives]]'', or music videos such as those on [[w:MTV|MTV]], daytime talk-shows like ''[[w:The Jerry Springer Show|Jerry Springer]]'' and others, cartoons like ''[[w:King of the Hill|The King of the Hill]]'' on [[w:Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]], sitcoms like ''[[w:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]]'', and other widely accepted forms of television entertainment. We in the WWF think that you, the audience, are quite frankly tired of having your intelligence insulted. We also think that you're tired of the same old simplistic theory of "good guys vs. bad guys". Surely the era of "[[w:Hulk Hogan|The superhero who urge you to say your prayers and take your vitamins]]" is definitely passe. Therefore, we've embarked upon a far more innovative and contemporary creative campaign that is far more invigorating and extemporaneous than ever before. However, due to the live nature of ''Raw'' and ''The War Zone'', we encourage some degree of parental discretion as it relates to the younger audience allowed to stay up late. Other WWF programs on USA such as Saturday Morning ''[[w:WWF LiveWire|LiveWire]]'' and Sunday Morning ''[[w:WWF Superstars of Wrestling|Superstars]]'', where there is a 40% increase in the younger audience, obviously however need no such discretion. We are responsible television producers who work hard to bring you this outrageous, wacky, wonderful world known as the WWF. Through some 50 years, the World Wrestling Federation has been an entertainment mainstay here in North America and all over the world. One of the reasons for that longevity is as the times have changed, so have we. I am happy to say that this new vibrant, creative direction has resulted in a huge increase in television viewership, for which we thank [[w:USA Network|USA Network]] and [[w:The Sports Network|TSN]] for allowing us to have the creative freedom, but most especially we would like to thank you for watching. Raw and the War Zone are definitely the cure for the common show. === December 22 === :'''Jim Ross''': Remember, the European Title on the line. Shawn Michaels putting the European Title on the line here, as he will the WWF Title at the Royal Rumble in that much-anticipated casket match with the Undertaker. ''[Shawn and Hunter lock up and Hunter immediately shoves Shawn down]'' Collar-and-elbow tie-up. :''[Hunter over-dramatically runs the ropes over a supine Shawn for 14 seconds]'' :'''Jim Cornette''': And reluctantly on his part, on both of them. He didn't want to put the title up either. :'''Ross''': Wait a minute. Why is Michaels just lying there? :'''Cornette''': Well, why doesn't Helmsley slow down and stop? What is it? :'''Ross''': ''[catching on]'' It's a mockery. ''[Hunter jumps and softly splashes Shawn, hooking his leg]'' We thought that... oh, here it is. :''[Hebner counts to three. Hunter celebrates while Shawn "cries."]'' :'''Cornette''': ''[over Tony Chimel's announcement]'' It was a ruse! :'''Tony Chimel''': Here is your winner and the new World Wrestling Federation European Champion: "Triple H" Hunter Hearst-Helmsley! :'''Cornette''': ''[cont'd]'' A ploy, a plot, a plan, a charade, a conspiracy, a sham! We've been conned, hoodwinked, bamboozled, flim-flammed, had the wool pulled over our eyes even! :'''Ross''': Slaughter apparently has been watching this on the monitor, we've just been informed, and is on his way to the ring. Helmsley with the European Title. We thought it was gonna be Slaughter's revenge. :'''Cornette''': Look at these two jackasses! Michael [''sic''] cries every time he comes to this town! === December 29 === :'''Jim Cornette''': Well, the WWF has asked me to do a commentary on the state of wrestling in 1998; I guess they figured, "Cornette's always good for a couple of laughs." Well, I'm not really gonna be too funny tonight. Because you see, I think the state of wrestling in 1998 ''stinks''! I think WCW stinks, I think the nWo stinks, I think ECW is embarrassing, and I think the WWF stinks! And I'll tell you why. You don't have to go back any further than last week on Raw, you got a guy coming out dressed like a Christmas tree, you got a woman dressed like a reindeer, you got two adolescent mulletheads showing their butt cheeks on national TV, and having a phony match for a championship! I think it stinks! I think it's disgusting! I think nobody has any respect for wrestling anymore! Where is "wrestling"? Not "sports entertainment", but ''wrestling''! You know, just a couple of years ago, I left my home in Tennessee and I moved to Connecticut, which is like trading a Hawaiian vacation for a bed in a cancer ward, to come to work for the WWF full-time, the biggest wrestling promotion in the history of the planet! And I moved to Connecticut with snow on the ground seven months out of the year, real estate prices that would make Donald Trump's hair stand on end, the rudest bunch of people I've ever seen where English is the second language, and traffic jams at four o'clock in the morning! But I think that's OK, because I'm with the biggest wrestling promotion of all time, the WWF! But over the last couple of years, I don't see any wrestling! They got some great wrestlers around here, but they don't have any time to wrestle, because of all the folderol and the nonsense going on! You see, what the problem is, is the people running the two big promotions! [[w:Eric Bischoff|One guy]] is a game show host wannabe from Minneapolis with phony teeth, phony hair, and a phony tan! And running the WWF, you got a whole office building full of Yankees from New York City that wouldn't know a wrestling match if it bit them! So they sit around all day, listening to people on the Internet; and the people on the Internet wouldn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch! I don't particularly care what some Yankee from New York City wants to see! I wanna see wrestling matches with wrestlers! I wanna see real old-fashioned wrestling! I wanna see some people who have some respect for the traditions of the wrestling industry, have some respect for the sport of wrestling! I don't wanna see "sports entertainment" and flying donkeys all around! I think it's garbage, I think it's insulting, and I think it's a shame to a fine sport like this! Down south where I come from, they know wrestling, they were brought up on it, they grew up on it, and they respect it! And I think it's about time that the promoters and the wrestling industry today recognize that wrestling fans watching a wrestling programme want to see wrestlers '''''wrestle'''''! That's... That's easy! It's not too hard to understand if you just think about it. But the problem is, is that nobody has any respect for tradition. Well, I got news for you; I got respect for tradition, and I've always been associated with real good old-fashioned wrestling, a sport of wrestling, not a circus sideshow, not a cartoon show; and if nobody else is bring some wrestling around here, then maybe it's gonna be up to Jim Cornette! So that might be my New Year's resolution for 1998! I might bring some tradition, I might bring some ''real'' wrestling back and clear this whole mess out, because I think it stinks! So there's my address, there's my opinion, there's my commentary, do with it what you want, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Bah Humbug, I'm outta here! == 1998 == === January 12 === :''[After stunning Mankind and Goldust, Steve Austin puts on JR's headset.]'' :'''Steve Austin''': Oh hell yeah!

Mr. Austin, why are you here? :'''Steve''': Because I'm sick and tired of seeing Mike Tyson, he comes in, he's shaking everybody's hands, making friends with all the WWF Superstars, and it's made me so damn sick, I've been in the back throwing up. ''[Tyson extends his hand]'' I ain't gonna shake your damn hand, because I ain't out here to make friends with you. Mike... shut up. I respect... I respect what you've done in the boxing world, but Jesus Christ, son, when you step in this ring, you're messing with Stone Cold Steve Austin and that's something you don't do. Let me make it short and sweet, what I'm telling you is I want a piece of Mike Tyson's ass. ''[To Vince]'' Shut up. Don't say one word, Vince; I'll knock your damn lights out, too. I respect what you've done, Mike, but you're out here calling yourself the baddest man on the planet. Right now, you got your little beady eyes locked on the eyes of the world's toughest son-of-a-bitch! I can beat you any day of the week, twice on Sunday. Do I think I... Do I think you can beat my ass? Hell no! Do I think I can beat your ass? Why, hell yeah! I don't know how good your hearin' is, but if you don't understand what I'm sayin', I always got a little bit of sign language, so here's to ya! ''[flips off Tyson to Vince's surprise. Tyson gestures with his hands and shoves Austin, causing a brawl between the two men. Everybody else pulls them apart and Austin is manhandled off the ring]'' :'''Vince''': Get out of here!

This past week, Degeneration X was informed that TSN, STAR TV, SKY Sports, and USA Network is drawing the line on standards and practices as it relates to WWF programming and Degeneration X. In the future, we need to be careful of what we do and what we won't do. Again, DX gets in trouble every time we do something fortuitously. Therefore, the following is the standard and practices that DX promises to adhere to. ''[steps aside for Triple H]'' :'''Triple H''': From the hours of nine to ten PM, we will only use the words "ass", "damn", and "hell". We will, however use the words "shit", "fuck", "goddamn", "Jesus Christ", "bitch," "faggot", or any other sexual or racial slurs. From the ten to eleven PM hour, we will only use the words "ass", "damn", "hell" and "bitch." We will never, however use the words "shit", "fuck", "goddamn", "Jesus Christ", "faggot", or any other racial or sexual slurs. Now as it pertains to video, we promise there will be less dick references- :'''Shawn Michaels''': Oh shit! :'''HHH''': ''[to Shawn with light tap on chest]'' Watch your fucking mouth! :'''Shawn''': ''[scoffs]'' Fuck me. :'''HHH''': Goddamn it. Fuck! Anyway, we will have less references to our enormous genitalia.

The fact of the matter is: all those times when I return to the world of darkness it's of my own appoint. It's a time for spiritual healing. It's a time for the truth, and I know the truth. At this trip, what I was doing was soothing the souls of my parents, because I had to explain to them why I would have to do the one thing I promised never to do.

You will understand why, I am the Reaper of Wayward Souls and you will understand why I am the Lord of Darkness. Kane, there is one thought that I want you to think about between now and WrestleMania 14 – March 29th.

I want you to tell Vince McMahon firsthand, I think he's a sorry sorry son of a bitch and the last time I checked, the last time I checked when you give someone the Stone Cold Stunner, it ain't punishable by the death penalty, so that means, Vince McMahon's ass belongs to Stone Cold Steve Austin, and next week on RAW IS WAR, he's gonna find out just how pissed off Stone Cold Steve Austin is and I can guarantee you one thing, it ain't gonna be a very fun night for Vince McMahon next Monday night and if that don't work, I'll pay his ass a house call just like I've done in the past. Vince McMahon will find out, Austin 3:16 say I just whipped your ass and that's what's gonna happen! ===April 6=== :''[Cactus Jack appears]'' :'''Cactus Jack''': I have always taken a lot of chances in the ring and some very bad things have happened to me over the years, but I've always had the comfort of knowing that when I looked at my career, my dreams, the things I accomplished, the things I'd set my heart on... that it was always worth the pain. So people ask, "Cactus, so how's your neck?", I say, that I'll be damned, if I'm gonna let a group of SCUM like DX put Cactus Jack away. :No, I guess, you see, that... Terry Funk's not here and I haven't talked to Terry, but I've left a message on his answering machine and I'm not saying this to sound tough, but Cactus Jack and Terry Funk do not miss wrestling matches! So I have to guess, if the Funker was hurt enough to fly home, that it's probably pretty bad. And I really wish that people could know Terry a little bit more than what they see in the ring, because people will always debate on who the greatest wrestler of all time is, but I guarantee you, you ask every damn last bunch of people in the dressroom, they'll say that Terry Funk is the gutsiest old bastard they've ever seen in their lives. :And I guess you've probably seen Terry's back, and I hope you saw WrestleMania because it was a tremendous match and I'm very proud of it, and Terry was laying there on the bed with his belt and he said, "Cactus, I'm gonna be alright because I consider this the last match of my career." See, Terry always wanted to retire as a WWF champion and he said, "Cactus, it's all been worth it, but we don't have those belts now, do we?" And I'm not gonna get into the reason why, but I will say, that when Cactus Jack was laying - and I was conscious and I could move, but it was very hard to move and I was not very far from being unconscious - and when I looked at Terry Funk, well, I heard something in my... in my ears that - I gotta tell you the truth - it kinda made me sick! That's... there was an announcement being made, thanking the fans for coming to the WWF event... and they said something about Stone Cold Steve Austin... and, uh, yeah, people... people started chanting his name. And it's... it's funny, because... when I came here two years ago and I was Mankind, there were always people saying, "Why don't you just be Cactus Jack?" Then I came out in tie-dye and white boots, and they said, "You know, why don't you just be Cactus Jack?" Well, I gave you Cactus Jack. I GAVE YOU EVERY GODDAMN PIECE OF ENERGY I HAD... and when I was laying there, helpless... you chanted someone else's name... ''[stands up]'' :This is not a knock on Stone Cold Steve Austin! Hey I'm happy he's the champion, and he may not admit it, but we've known each other a long time, and he's been my friend. But what you did to me and Terry Funk laying here in the middle of the ring was not only distasteful and disrespectful, it was goddamn disgusting... and I'm gonna give you a chance to make it up to me... because I'm gonna accept a group apology right now. ''[feels crowd heat]'' Well... I can finally say for the first time, after 13 years of blood, sweat and tears, that it's not worth it anymore. It's gonna be a long time before you see Cactus Jack in a ring again. ''[drops mic and leaves ring]'' ===April 13=== :''[Shane McMahon and Jim Ross are in Vince McMahon's locker room asking him not to take up Steve Austin's challenge for a WWF title match]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': You get to the car, ok? ''[slams coat onto the table]'' Get my bag and bring it back here. :'''Shane McMahon''': ''[over Vince's command]'' This is the dumbest decision you've ever made. :'''Vince''': It may be. :'''Gerald Brisco''': No it's not. :'''Shane''': This is the dumbest decision you've ever made! :'''Brisco''': No, it's not! :'''Vince''': ''[to JR as Shane storms out]'' And you, you go out there and do your job please, thank you very much. ===April 27=== :''[DX - the New Age Outlaws, Chyna, and XPac, assemble near a military jeep with recoilless cannon]'' :'''Triple H''': Attention!

Billy Gunn has his rocket launcher tucked like an erect penis and lowers it a bit]'' I said at ease! ''[rocket launcher is lowered more]'' That's better. ''[walks to Billy]'' Stand up straight, soldier. Today we embark on a mission. We have seen the enemy, and he's near. So today, we're gonna go down there. :'''DX members''': Down where, sir? :'''HHH''': There ''[makes crotch gesture]'' and we will blow them out of the water. This mission, should you choose to accept it, will start at the [[w:Norfolk Scope|Norfolk Scope]], with ''[mock Southern drawl]'' Dubya-C-Dubya, the Rasslin' ''[to normal voice]'' and it will end right here tonight, at the [[w:Hampton Roads Coliseum|Hampton Roads Coliseum]], for RAW is WAR.

What we're hearing then is that Paul Bearer is Kane's father. :'''Jerry "The King" Lawler''': And do you know what that means? You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out - that means Paul Bearer had to sleep with the Undertaker's mother! :'''Ross''': Good Lord.. :'''Lawler''': Whoa!! ''[scoffs and laughs at the revelation]'' ===May 4=== :'''Mick Foley''': Cut this music... does anybody here know my name? Because to tell you the truth, I don't know who the hell I am anymore. At Unforgiven, I beat Stone Cold Steve Austin - no I do not have the heavyweight title, but I came real close. And for those of you who've never been on the receiving end of a Stone Cold ass-kicking, let me tell you, it doesn't feel that good... If you were to ask Stone Cold Steve Austin how he felt the next day, well he probably would say he didn't feel a whole hell of a lot better. :So now, how do I get rewarded for my efforts at Unforgiven? By receiving a rematch? No! By being proclaimed the No.1 contender? No! You see, that honor went to... Goldust. The last time I checked my resume, I was going head to head with the heavyweight champion of the world. The last time I checked the resume of Goldust, that panty-wearing pansy... he was wearing a black teddy in a woman's negligee match. And now the WWF has informed me that I am to wrestle Terry Funk in a no-holds-barred, falls-count-anywhere match. And I guess I know what Vince McMahon must thinking, 'hey let those two kill each other and I won't have to deal with them anymore.' :You see, I don't have all the answers, but I do know a few things. Number one, I'll be damned if I'm going to throw away 13 years of hard work by sucking up to a low-life like Vince McMahon; number two, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let my wife and kids see me bumping and grinding with a couple of second rate strippers on national television; and number three, I'll be damned if I perform in this stuff ''[Dude Love Outfit]'' ever again. What I'd like right now is to have Vince McMahon out here, because I, Cactus Jack, want some answers and I want them right now! I am waiting for your replay! Vince McMahon, if you are a man, you come out here and face the music. ''[Vince McMahon enters the ring]'' Vince, I don't care what you do - if you bury it ''[Dude Love Outfit]'', you burn it or you put it on yourself, but you will not make me dress up like a horse's ass... EVER... are we understood? ARE WE?" :'''Vince McMahon''': You've got guts enough to call me out before you? Me? The owner of the World Wrestling Federation? You've got guts enough to call me out before you and all these people? Who the hell do you think you are? Let me tell you something - sure, you hold a victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin at Unforgiven, but you didn't get the job done, because Stone Cold Steve Austin is still the World Wrestling Federation champion! :And the next night, sure, Goldust becomes the #1 contender, how do you react? You kvetch, you bitch, you cry, you moan, just like all these other people would at their lost opportunity, because you see... they have to make excuses when they don't get that raise, they don't get that promotion, they have to make excuses - I would expect better from you and then... you think I'm trying to punish you by booking you in a match with your best friend, Terry Funk, a no-holds-barred match? :'''Mick''': Yes, I do! :'''Vince''': That's not a punishment, THAT'S REWARD, that's what it is, a REWARD! :'''Mick''': How you figure? :'''Vince''': Because I believe that you and I are a lot alike. I believe that you recognize this as it truly is. You see, I take adversity and turn it into triumph... This match that you have with your best friend is an opportunity, and that's what I give better than anybody else in the world, opportunity... don't you see? Can't you clearly see this picture? Who've you been listening to? :Because, if you seize this moment, if you take your best friend out to this ring tonight, and you not only beat him, but beat him... an inch from his life, if you tear him limb from limb... if you REACH INTO HIS CHEST AND PULL OUT HIS HEART... AND HOLD IT AND THE BLOOD DRIPS DOWN ALL OVER YA... THEN YOU WOULD'VE MADE the kind of sacrifice that's necessary to become the #1 contender, the kind of sacrifice that's necessary to BEAT Stone Cold Steve Austin, THE KIND OF SACRIFICE that's necessary TO BE the World Wrestling Federation champion! :I've got faith in you! I've got confidence in you! Because I believe, deep down in that demented cranium.. you can do it! You can do it! You can seize this opportunity and once again become the #1 contender for the World Wrestling Federation championship. When I came out here, you threw Dude Love into my face... How does it feel for me to throw the truth into yours? <hr width=50%> :''[After JR announces an exclusive interview by Jerry Lawler on Paul Bearer, nobody notices the camera still on and the King is very inquisitive about Kane]'' :'''Paul Bearer''': I told you about it.

I wasn't fat like I am now, in fact Jerry I was kinda ''[fixes up tie]'' studly. :'''King''': Oh yeah right? :'''Bearer''': I was! Anyway, I come through the door and... she took me right there! Right there! :'''King''': Wait where, on the embalming table or something? :'''Bearer''': No no, in the kitchen floor. :'''King''': Oh no! :'''Bearer''': Yeah, in the kitchen floor of the ''[slaps thigh]'' funeral home. :'''King''': ''[starts to giggle and laugh]'' Paul Bearer slips the salami to the Undertaker's mother on the kitchen floor. :'''Bearer''': In the kitchen floor in the apartment of the funeral home. :'''King''': Swear to God. :'''Bearer''': I swear. It's the gospel truth. That's the way it happened. She took me, an innocent 19-year-old boy, as I lost my virginity to her. ''[as Lawler laughs]'' It's true! :'''King''': Paul Bearer buries his bologna in the Undertaker's mother. :'''Bearer''': She was a moaning, and a groanin, and screamin'... and I heard some little feet coming down the stairs. It's a good thing I got up, 'cause it was little Taker coming down the stairs. Stopped me just in time, ''[Lawler laughs]'' and if he did took two more steps, he'd have seen his momma's feet, one was in New York, the other was in LA!!!

And pour beer down the back of my neck, and then place conditions upon my release, a condition of apology WHICH I DID NOT MEAN!!! and yet, another condition that should someone interfere to stand guard while I officiate the match at the pay-per-view this Sunday to ensure that I call the match fair and square, I accept that condition too and I'll tell you why, because other than [[Godzilla (1998 film)|Godzilla]] recently being released, there isn't one WWF superstar on the roster that can intimidate me, not one! ===June 1=== :''[Mick Foley has called out Mr McMahon over their failure to take down Stone Cold Steve Austin at Over the Edge and also expressed how good it was to bash him with a steel chair]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': Why don't you do it again?

''[closer to Mick's face]'' All you do, is make me SICK! So I'll tell you what... your services in the World Wrestling Federation are no longer required. ''[later starts dancing as Dude Love music airs then leaves the ring]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Undertaker appears in casual attire]'' :'''Undertaker''': Let's start from the beginning, some ten years ago when I first arrived in the World Wrestling Federation. Vince McMahon was known as somebody that would give somebody an opportunity, even if they were just a little different. And Vince McMahon did just that. He gave me the chance to be myself, to be the Undertaker. But you see, that's where all the giving stops and all the taking began. Shortly after my arrival here in the World Wrestling Federation I became the slayer of the dragons. Then you ask what do I mean by that? Vince McMahon knew that I would be loyal for him giving me an opportunity, so what he did is he put every giant, every freak that he knew his handpicked champions couldn't beat and he'd stick me on 'em. And I'd beat 'em, I destroyed 'em and I moved on. What I did for Vince McMahon was make his kingdom safe for himself and all of his handpicked champions. The whole time I knew that my time would come. And after I made his kingdom safe and there was no one left, well then I got my opportunities. Oh yes, I am a two-time former World Wrestling Federation champion. But as you all know, my tenures as champion, they didn't last very long. Why? Because Vince McMahon didn't want someone like the Undertaker representing the World Wrestling Federation, but I remained loyal, even after all his hand-chosen favorites left town for greener pastures—more money—I stayed here. I stayed by his side thinking my time would come. How do I get repaid for that? He forces me to fight my own brother. He gives Paul Bearer an open forum to discuss every tragic incident that ever happened in the life of the Undertaker. For what reason? Let me tell you why: Because it's all ratings! He put my family tragedy on the line for ratings. And even after all that, I never lost my smile, I kept on fighting, and as I've been taking care of family business, Stone Cold Steve Austin rises to the top. But don't get me wrong, I got nothing against Steve Austin. The only thing Steve Austin ever did was come to the ring and fight me like a man—and that's all I ever asked. But you see, Vince, after the years of mistreatment and after the last eight months of you throwing my family up in my face, I've had enough. Now it's time the Undertaker got was is rightfully his. I demand... my shot... at the World Wrestling Federation title. Now, I've done enough talking. Now, Vince McMahon, Mr. McMahon, whatever it is you like to be called, I think it's time you've got your pencil-neck-geeked ass out here and face the Reaper. :''[Vince McMahon appears and enters the ring. He suddenly takes the mic from Taker]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': I'm gonna give you the answer you're looking for in just a minute, but first you're gonna hear me out! After all I've done for you, you choke-slammed me damn near to hell last week! ''[audience pops]'' You hovered over me like a giant vulture last night - and why? To get my attention? You got it! You got it. You wanna talk about loyalty, dedication, honor, all those qualities you have—I'll grant you that and I'm appreciative for it, but you know, let's face it: What have you done for Vince McMahon lately? :As far as your family is concerned, all your family problems, I've got a question for you. Is Paul Bearer telling the truth when he said that your mother was a whore? ''[stops Undertaker from a sudden reaction]'' I've got to ask. You want the answer? You want the answer? You wanna be the number one contender. You deserve to be the number one contender. That's what you want, that's what you'll get. Sure, no problem. You'll get it. ''[goes outside ropes]'' You'll get it if you defeat your opponent in this ring tonight. There you go, you got what you wanted, okay? So whoever wins the match between you and your opponent will be the number one contender in this ring, live, tonight. So let's see what happens, Undertaker, let's see what happens '''when you have to face your brother, Kane!!!''' ===July 6=== :''[Kane has just taken down Mankind as the No 1 contender for Austin at Fully Loaded, as Vince McMahon and Steve Austin watch along with JR and Jerry Lawler]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': What about it, Austin?

You know something, ah don't cry baby, you see NO woman is worth the trouble that you brought me - no woman! I hope you enjoyed the ride baby, because this is where you get off!

I've got an open invitation, so I don't know what you're worked up about. But what I will tell you, if I wanted to get that one-legged bastard, Vince McMahon, and tell him to get his ass out here, because what I'm going to do might create a bit of interest in the McMahon side of the family. Now get your ass out here because I've got some work to do and I want to check my equipment out. <hr width=50%> :''[Steve Austin is driving a cement truck toward Vince McMahon's Corvette.]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Wait a minute. :'''Jerry Lawler''': I knew it JR. He's trying to drive it right in here, then get ready to run. He'll run over us. :'''Jim Ross''': Wait a minute, there's... :'''Lawler''': Hey, wait a minute, don't run over Mr. McMahon's Corvette. :'''Ross''': I don't think he's... ''[sees Austin setting up the mixer's metal trough on the car]'' it doesn't look like he's going to run over it. :'''Lawler''': Wait a minute! :'''Ross''': Oh my God, I don't believe this. :'''Lawler''': You can't do that! :'''Ross''': I do not believe this, ladies and gentlemen. :'''Lawler''': Mr. McMahon! Mr. McMahon! :'''Ross''': That's one of the Corvettes in Mr. McMahon's collection. :'''Lawler''': That's a $50,000 car! No! J.R.! ''[cement mixture is poured into the car]'' NOOOO! :'''Ross''': Oh my God! Oh my! Austin is loading McMahon's car with cement. :'''Vince McMahon''': ''[watching it on the monitor]'' That's my Corvette!!!! :'''Ross''': McMahon's car is being loaded with cement. :'''Lawler''': Oh my God! :''[The cement mix overflows, breaking the car's side and rear windows.]'' :'''Jim Ross''': McMahon's prized Corvette, one of his collection, is being destroyed by the Rattlesnake. :'''Lawler''': NOOOO! :'''Ross''': The Rattlesnake has struck. ''[Austin leaves cement truck]'' And it looks like... Austin is coming our way. :'''Lawler''': Somebody call the cops!!! :'''Ross''': Austin is heading our way. The Rattlesnake, will he be here next? :'''Lawler''': 911! <hr width=50%> :'''Steve Austin''': First off, I'd like to thank Mr. McMahon for the invitation here tonight. Well, I apologize to you, because I guess it must have been some mistake in the address that went to Austin 3:16 Construction Company. See, what you did, Vince, you screwed Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hell, son, it's easy to see that you submitted your own damn fate. Because you can rest assured that Stone Cold Steve Austin — as long as he's here right in the World Wrestling Federation and as long as you're here, too — I will make your life a living hell, and that's all I got to say about that! As far as this Sunday goes, Stone Cold Steve Austin, special referee... Hell, I'll be glad to put the striped shirt on, because I think I'd make a damn good referee for this match. If you think Stone Cold Steve Austin would make a damn good referee, give me a hell yeah! ''[audience reacts]'' I'll tell you this: After those two big bastards beat the living hell out of each other, you can bet your ass, that the only hand Stone Cold Steve Austin is gonna hold up is my own. :'''Jerry Lawler''': What? :'''Steve Austin''': And the thing about this, Vince, there ain't a damn thing that you can do about it. ''[at the stage, Vince McMahon appears in a wheelchair]'' Awww... Go ahead and hurl your little ass down here! :'''Vince McMahon''': ''[Big Boss Man and two police K9s and their handlers appear]'' As you were saying? :'''Jerry Lawler''': There you go. :'''Vince McMahon''': Stick it! Get him! Stick it! Get him!!! ''[Austin tries to rush Vince but stops when the dogs reach out short of him]'' Yeah come on, Austin! That's it! Yeah, come on! Come on!! ''[Austin flips off at him]'' I hope you're proud of yourself yeah, that's it, I hope you're real proud. What gives you the right to destroy other people's property? What gives you the right to pour concrete in one of my Corvettes? That was part of a collection and now you've ruined it! I just hope that the Stone Cold Steve Austin Construction Company gives you a pair of boots 'cause you're gonna need 'em tonight, let me tell you that! You're gonna need 'em, because you're gonna be wrestling in that ring tonight. Yeah, but you're not gonna be wrestling by yourself, oh no! I've got a partner picked out for you: the so-called People's Champion, The Rock! :'''Jim Ross''': Austin and The Rock together? :'''Vince McMahon''': Yeah, that's the good news — if there is any good news. The bad news is that you and The Rock will be facing two individuals that I hope annihilate each other this Sunday. You'll be facing The Undertaker and Kane! ''[audience pop]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Right here tonight live, Austin and The Rock against The Undertaker and Kane. :'''Vince McMahon''': I also hope that the Austin 3:16 Construction Company is gonna provide you with a real good rear-view mirror, because I think some time tonight, you're gonna have to have eyes in the back of your head. I think, of all I've been through, these last two weeks — And I admit, my life has been a living hell. I admit—''[miffed at "Asshole!" chants]'' WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE? :'''Austin''': I don't know how good your hearing is, but you got about 15,000 people calling you an asshole! ''[audience pop]'' :'''McMahon''': Over the last two weeks — it all started after you lost the WWF title, and you recklessly and carelessly drove that Zamboni at full speed into the arena — YOU DIDN'T CARE WHO YOU RAN OVER as long as you got to me! ''[anguished]'' And then from there, you got to me, alright. And after you did — And because of you, The Undertaker and Kane crushed my ankle. ''[gestures to ankle]'' It's crushed! I may never, ever again, play another polo match. I may never again ride a horse, ever. I may never again compete in an athletic event, and I hold you responsible! :And then, in the hospital, last week — my god! My head is still ringing from being struck in the cranium by that big metal bed pan. :'''Jim Ross''': Bed pan McMahon. :'''McMahon''': My nervous system is still in shock over that defibrillation. And my rectal area, ''[cringes at recalling the moment]'' when you stuck... YOU VIOLATED ME, AUSTIN! YOU VIOLATED ME! That damn open hospital gown — Let me tell you something: As much humiliation have I had ''[corrects himself]'' that I have suffered, you're gonna suffer more and I'll tell you where, and I'll tell you when. It'll be this Sunday and it'll be in Chicago. Let me tell you something: If you don't raise the hand of the new World Wrestling Federation champion and humble yourself before me, then read my lips: I promise you, I GUARANTEE YOU, Austin, if you don't raise the hand of a new WWF champion, this Sunday, on the spot, I WILL FIRE YOUR ASS! :'''Jim Ross''': Good God. :'''Jerry Lawler''': Woh. He guaranteed it. :'''Austin''': You stupid bastard, you ain't got the balls to fire Stone Cold Steve Austin! :'''McMahon''': ''[irked]'' I don't have the balls? I've got balls the size of grapefruits! And this Sunday, you're gonna be picking the seeds out of your teeth, because, Austin, you will be humbled! I guarantee it! One way or the other — the easy way: you raise the hand of a champion. The hard way: I PUBLICLY, I GUARANTEE, I WILL ''[points at Austin with every word] '''FIRE YOUR ASS THIS SUNDAY!''''' Hit the music! :''[Vince McMahon leaves.]'' :'''Jerry Lawler''': He meant it, JR. He guaranteed it. :'''Jim Ross''': I'll tell you one thing. When McMahon guaranteed that Austin would lose the WWF title, it happened. And now McMahon has guaranteed that if Stone Cold Steve Austin does not humble himself and raise the hand of a new WWF Champion this Sunday on pay-per-view, that Austin will be fired right on the spot. ===October 19=== :''[all WWF Superstars are assembled in and around the ring for an address from Mr. McMahon]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': May I have your attention, please?! ''[crowd chants "Asshole!"]'' May I have your attention? I have a very important announcement to make as relates to the World Wrestling Federation Championship. As a result of an individual who is no longer gainfully employed here in the World Wrestling Federation, we have no World Wrestling Federation champion, as we speak. However, I assure you, that on the night of November 15 at the Survivor Series—as a matter of fact, I guarantee you... oh oh, there goes that word again: I guarantee you! Nonetheless, I guarantee you that on November 15 at the end of that evening we will have an undisputed WWF Champion, because on that night, at the Survivor Series, 16 WWF Superstars will compete in a one-night tournament to determine just who will be the next undisputed WWF Champion. :Now, as far as some of the events of last night are concerned: Seems as though some of you are in a state of shock, some of you are in a state of disbelief. ''[more 'Asshole!' chants]'' If I am, I'm damn proud of it! Some of you are certainly in a state of shock as—'Did Vince McMahon really fire Stone Cold Steve Austin last night?' Well, for the benefit of those of you who did not join us on pay-per-view, last night at Judgment Day—how appropriate: Judgment Day! Let me repeat the words I said to Stone Cold Steve Austin: 'Austin, screw you! You're fired!' How did Austin take this news? Well, I show you how he took this news, on the TitanTron; if you'll direct your attention, someone from the production will put up a freeze frame of Stone Cold Steve Austin's face. And as soon as Stone Cold heard those words, Stone Cold had that look on his face. ''[gloats about the shot]'' A look of disbelief! He couldn't believe he had just been fired. Austin, as a matter of fact, started mumbling about something about hunting season or going hunting—I didn't know what he meant until this morning someone told me that rumor was, Austin was indeed hunting. He was hunting for a job! :Austin, if you ever come into a World Wrestling Federation arena again, then you'll do so just like this capacity crowd: You'll have to buy a ticket, Austin! ''[more 'Asshole!' chants]'' So, what did it feel like? Many of you are saying to yourself, 'My God, what's it like to be Vince McMahon? What's it like to have the balls to fire Stone Cold Steve Austin?' I really wondered. I wondered if Austin provoked me, how I would feel. And last night I searched. And last night, when I fired Austin, I'll admit it felt pretty damn good. At the end of the evening, after asking that question again, I was convinced it felt great. And then, this morning—you know, when you look into that mirror, bright and early, when you first get up, that soul-searching—Alright, Vince McMahon, how did you feel after firing Stone Cold Steve Austin? You know what it felt like to me this morning? IT WAS BETTER THAN SEX! :Which brings me as to why each and everyone of you stand before me as WWF Superstars. Hopefully, you all learned the lesson that Stone Cold learned last night. Hopefully, no one in that ring will EVER cross the boss, because none of you are as big as Vince McMahon! You know, all that Austin 3:16 paraphernalia out there, T-shirts, what have you? Another rumor going around... that it's going like hotcakes, because now Austin 3:16—that's a collector's item, you see! Now there's a new expression. A new expression that's gonna be sweeping the nation, sweeping the globe; and that's McMahon 3:16... And McMahon 3:16 says, "I've got the brass to fire your ass." Thank you very much! Thank you, Gentlemen! ''[freeze frame shot of Austin turns into live shot of Austin at his truck, in hunting camouflage bringing his rifle and bow set]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Paul Bearer and Undertaker appear one day after they turned on Kane]'' :'''Undertaker''': As you can plainly see, there has been a reconciliation made. Brother, Paul has come home to lead my Ministry of Darkness. And I'm sure that there is those who can't understand because they have no vision how I could align myself once more with such a despicable, evil, maniacal individual. Well if those aren't reasons enough, I don't guess I can explain it any better. What we have, is someone with vision. Someone who truly understands the power of darkness. He allowed me to clear my head and refocus on what it is I'm here for. Now what we have is a beginning of a new era. And we will unleash with our Ministry of Darkness, a plague for which the World Wrestling Federation has never seen, nor will it be ever understood amongst those who do not relish in the darkness. So now, those of you, who do not declare, shall be declared! :'''Paul Bearer''': Kane, I used you boy. Ever since you were a little child, I took care of you like a pet, like a put dog on a leash. Just for special occasions, yes I used you, because you're stupid! You're weak! You can't even speak for yourself! You turned your back on me twice. The first time was 8 weeks ago, the last time was last night boy! You could never understand the darkness Kane, that's why I'll never have any use for you again. :'''Undertaker''': You know Kane, I know there is a thought that's been burning in your mind for years. You really wanna know what happened the day you caught on fire? Well listen, and listen close: '''I set that fire!''' And I set it because you were weak as a child, and you are weak now. And we have no room for the weak. Only the strong shall survive. :''[Kane comes with a casket, looks like he is going to challenge Undertaker]'' :'''Kane''': You and I... tonight... casket match! And brother... you will... REST IN PEACE! <hr width=50%> :''[Having held Vince McMahon hostage all night long, Austin ups the ante with a toy revolver that reads BANG 3:16]'' :'''Austin''': You've got to remember, Vince, it wasn't Stone Cold that screwed Vince McMahon, it was Vince McMahon that screwed Vince McMahon. ''[notices pants]'' I think you've got a problem there. Looks like we've got another shirt out on the way. That shirt might just say, "McMahon 3:16 says, 'I just pissed my pants.'" ===October 26=== :''[Vince McMahon appears with his lawyers, Sgt Slaughter and the stooges plus Big Boss Man]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': Against, against my volition, Stone Cold Steve Austin is here in this arena, tonight. Not only do I hold Stone Cold Steve Austin responsible for every single, reprehensible act he committed against me, I want all of you people to know, that I hold ''[points to audience] each and every one of you'' responsible as well! My God, what's the matter with you people? I've lost all faith in humanity! Where the hell are your values? Where are your morals!? Whatever happened to the Good Samaritan? Where were you in my hour of need? I'll tell you where you were: you were cheering for every act of humiliation Austin committed against me! You savored every violation, every liberty that Austin took against me, but what you enjoyed the most was when Austin forced me to go to the ring. He made me get down on my knees, he made me beg! He made me... ''[saddened]'' he made me cry! He made me urinate myself! ''[angry]'' And where were you? Where were any of you? No one came to my aid. ''[to stooges]'' Not you, Brisco! Not you Patterson, or the Commissioner, no one. My ankle has been reinjured, I've ruined a perfectly good Armani suit. I hurt all over. But most of all, my feelings have been hurt. They have been crushed, but despite the injury, the insult Austin, after the injury I will never ever forgive you for! That wasn't a letter of introduction you jammed down in my coat pocket oh no, that was a legal document Austin and you know damn well then it was a legal document, and with this battery of attorneys I have behind me, Austin, I will fight you. I will fight you in court if I can, hell I'll fight you all the way to the Supreme Court! Austin, before you make your next move, you better take stock in what I say. :'''Steve Austin''': ''[appears on TitanTron]'' Well speaking of stock, here am I. I've been stocking Pampers diapers, in case the bastard pisses all over himself! You know what I mean! <hr width=50%> :''[Shane McMahon appears as Vince fumes at Austin being employed in the WWF with a new contract and ignores his calls to join him on the stage]'' :'''Shane McMahon''': I don't listen to you anymore. I am an officer, more importantly, a stockholder of this company, and what you did to Stone Cold Steve Austin was wrong, Dad. You were wrong. :'''Vince McMahon''': ''[to the stooges]'' He's just a kid, he's just a kid! :'''Shane''': I just wanted to tell you personally that it was me. It was ''me'', Dad, that hired Stone Cold back. Dad, it was me!... Hey, I guess I finally have your attention now, don't I? After 28 years, I FINALLY have your attention. I've seen superstars come, and I've seen superstars go, and why, Dad, why? Because it's always been about your ego! You said it yourself: no one's bigger than Vince McMahon, oh no! All my life, people have asked me, 'Boy, what's it like to be Vince McMahon's son? Wow, isn't that great?' And I have lied year after year after year... ''[gets more emotional]'' to protect you, to protect our family name. Well, the lying stops now! I'm tired of it!... You never cared about me! Everything—I couldn't do anything right for you. Nothing is ever right. My grades in school were never good enough for you. :'''Vince''': ''[in tears]'' Yes they were! :'''Shane''': My athletic accomplishments were never good enough for you. My business deals—no matter how much money I made you—was never good enough for YOU! The only thing I ever wanted from you, the only thing I ever wanted, is for you to be proud of me. OF ME! But I finally figured it out: That's never ever gonna happen, because it's never been about me, it's been about you. YOU, DAD! ''[Vince closes his eyes and grimaces because Shane struck a raw nerve]'' It's always about perception. Perception. Ever since, I'm always known as Vince's boy. 'How does Vince's boy make him look?' It wasn't about me, it was about how I made you look, that perception, at your big corporate parties. :'''Vince''': ''[saddened]'' You're my son— :'''Shane''': Yeah, I'm your son, but I'm not your little boy anymore. I'm a man and I stand in this ring as a man. I'm no longer your boy, Dad. I'm proud of who I am. I am proud of the person I have become. My name is Shane McMahon, and for 28 years—for 28 years I've finally built up enough courage to face you here today, to stand up to YOU! I guess, now you have something to be proud of me about, don't you Dad? Because I finally stood up to you and I had the BRASS to do it!... Isn't it ironic? I guess, I'm just like you after all, isn't that right, Dad?!? ''[tosses mic back to Austin as Vince rebuffs Pat Patterson trying to comfort him]'' :'''Steve Austin''': If you think Vince got what he had comin', gimme a hell yeah. :'''Audience''': HELL YEAH!! ===November 2=== :''[A wheelchair-bound Vince McMahon has just made Mankind promise he won't interfere in an upcoming match between Ken Shamrock and the Rock and has something for him]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': I have it for you.

''[Big Boss Man moves away to open a door]'' :'''Mankind''': ''[accepts title and laughs]'' I love it! ''[kisses belt]'' I gotta be honest with you, I love it! :'''Vince''': Just one thing.

You see there, Austin? When one understands it, they become ageless. They become deathless. They become immortal!!

That's all fine and well, but six days from now at Rock Bottom in a Buried Alive match, in my opinion, the stakes are stacked higher than they've ever been for Stone Cold Steve Austin. Undertaker, you come out here, talk about sacrificing me, about wanting my soul, you hit me in the head with a shovel, you tried to bury me, you tried to embalm me and none of that worked... in the Ministry of Stone Cold Steve Austin, at Rock Bottom, you can bet your ass that you can expect no mercy from Stone Cold Steve Austin, and that's all I got to say about that! :''[Lights get closed and Undertaker's theme song plays as a TX symbol appears in front of the screen]'' :'''Undertaker''': ''[voiceover]'' Austin, we've traveled down the highway to hell, and our journey has enlightened us on a few matters. One, you're helpless against my Ministry, and the other is I can take your rotting soul any time I wish. Tonight, our journey stops in your purgatory, where you will remain until Rock Bottom, and on that night boy, I will sacrifice you to the Ministry of Darkness and let the entire world watch you get buried alive and BURN IN HELL! :''[The symbol gets burned by a storm, as Austin is a little scared]'' === December 28 === :'''Val Venis''': Hello, ladies!

They tried to destroy me, wishing I would just go away. But what is it? What have they really done? The simple minds of mortal men... they sent me back to the place that is my origin. Destroy me? The more they try, the more powerful I've become. And now, I've risen from my Earthy grave and I will slay the ones I once saved. The reckoning is upon us. The day that the Ministry of Darkness seizes the land, destroys all that you hold dear, make play things our of your heroes and devours your innocence. The plague of darkness is coming; an all encompassing evil from which there is no escape, no mercy, no hope. Its called the future. And in the future, I will look down upon thee and I will decide whether you are an Agent of Darkness, or are you just mere kindling for my fires. The Power of Darkness shall be offered only to a chosen few. And those that resist the temptations of my Ministry, pain becomes synonymous with punishment. Embrace the Darkness and relish in the unearthly delight that pain has to offer. Resist and there are no limits to the torment you subject yourself to. Don't fight it. It will tear your soul apart.

One by one, they will all fall before my Ministry. Last night, the Bossman received just a small sample of the power I possess. Last night, Bossman, we let you go. Next time, you won't be so lucky. What we did, Mr. McMahon, is we went to the heart and soul of your Corporation and we took him out. Just to let you know that we can take anybody, any time we desire. And there's not a damn thing that you can do about it. Now I'm sure you're asking yourself, Mr. McMahon, how can I be so confident? How can I succeed when all others have failed? It's simple. '''I own the key to your heart, and your soul'''. While you were preoccupied with your petty obsessions, I have amassed an army. An army that will destroy you and your corporation. Each soul that we take, we take in the name of a far greater power than even myself. And in that power's name, in its grandest vision, in its grandest dream, and in my Ministry's destiny, I will own the World Wrestling Federation. :''[Big Bossman appears, who got attacked by the Ministry previous night]'' :'''Big Bossman''': You want some of me?

Sorry. :'''Road Dogg''': Well, don't be sorry, because the D-O-double-G lives his life all or nothing, and tonight he's gonna walk away with A-double-L. So Mr. A-double-crooked-letter, I'll see your ass at ringside. :'''Gunn''': ''[sotto voce]'' Yep, and you'll walk out with nothing like when I found you. ===April 26=== :''[Vince is asking Stone Cold Steve Austin to deliver the WWF's ownership papers personally to the Undertaker as ransom for Stephanie McMahon, but Austin is not quite convinced of his sincerity]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': I don't mean to interrupt, but, I guess maybe I do. This is not easy for me, but...what I'm trying to say...to make a long story short, I need your help. :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': You said— You said what? You need my help? Is that what you said? :'''Vince McMahon''': I need your help. The Undertaker has my daughter, Stephanie, and I need your help. :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': You got to clear this up exactly for me. What are you trying to say? Just go ahead and say something, 'cause you ain't making no sense. :'''Vince McMahon''': Well...this isn't— It's not anything personal. I know that you don't like me and I know you never will. :''[Austin nods in agreement mouthing 'Right!']'' :'''Vince McMahon''': And the feeling is somewhat mutual, but...it's not about you and me. This is personal and it involves my daughter Stephanie. And Steve, you can help me. :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': With all due respect, to you and your little daughter— Hell, son, I've got a million problems of my own. So as far as I'm concerned, I really don't give a rat's ass about your problems. :'''Vince McMahon''': But Steve, The Undertaker has made...he's made some demands. He's asked for some documentation and that's all right with me, I don't care about the documentation. But he's made ''other'' demands. He's demanded that, instead of me delivering the documentation to him, he's demanded that ''you'' deliver that documentation to him, and if you do that I really believe that everything will be fine with my daughter Stephanie, and I think you can understand from my point of view as a father. :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': What you're saying is— What you're saying is Vince McMahon needs Stone Cold Steve Austin! That's what you're saying? :''[Vince nods sheepishly]'' :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': So if that's true...if that is true that Vince McMahon needs Stone Cold Steve Austin, then that's what I want you to say to me. Say it to me: "Vince McMahon ''needs'' Stone Cold Steve Austin." :'''Vince McMahon''': Vince McMahon ''needs'' Stone Cold Steve Austin. :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': That all sounds real good Vince, but hell, you must think that I have a real horrible memory because the last ''15 months'', every single night I come to work, you see fit to put my life, make my life a living hell, and I will give you credit, you have done one helluva job. :''[Vince is dejected]'' :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': Stone Cold Steve Austin never forgets one single thing that happens right here in the World Wrestling Federation. So...since Vince McMahon needs Stone Cold Steve Austin, I'll say this. By the same token, Stone Cold Steve Austin ''needs'' Vince McMahon... :''[Vince seems optimistic]'' :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': ...''to kiss his ass'', and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!! :''[a saddened Vince walks away]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[the Ministry of Darkness prepares Stephanie McMahon to be married to the Undertaker - even as she screams away and the Undertaker touches her]'' :'''Paul Bearer''': Dearly unbeloved, we gather here this evening to join Stephanie Marie McMahon, in the unholy wedlock with the Lord of Darkness. Tonight, Stephanie Marie McMahon will step from the light of this evil, cesspool, mortal world, into the sanctuary of eternal darkness. Keeping this in mind, will you, Stephanie Marie McMahon accept the purity of evil and take the Lord of Darkness as your master and your spouse? :'''Stephanie McMahon''': No! NOOO!!! :''[Ken Shamrock tries to get in but the Acolytes hold him down to be squashed by Viscera]'' :'''Bearer''': Lord of Darkness, is it your intent to accept Stephanie Marie McMahon, her body, her mind, her soul, and even her breath unto yourself, ''[Taker lightly reaches for her neck]'' and allow her to bear your offspring? :'''Stephanie''': NOOO!!!! :'''Undertaker''': I do. :''[the Big Show appears and breaks through the Acolytes and Viscera - but Undertaker gets Shamrock's baseball bat and hits him off the ring]'' :'''Bearer''': By the power vested in me by the Lord of Darkness, I now pronounce you as the Unholy Union of Darkness.

Instead of me and you just kicking the hell out of each other, especially today, why don't me and you and these fine hos over here...we go to downtown St. Louis and we light it up all night long? :'''Road Dogg''': What do you say, me and you go burn one and tell some Owen stories. <hr width=50%/> :'''Billy Gunn''': If you're not down with Owen Hart, I got two words for ya... :'''Crowd''': SUCK IT! === June 7 === :''[During Undertaker's WWF Championship defense against the Big Show, Taker is caught in Big Show's chokeslam coming off the top rope]'' :'''Jim Ross''': The Undertaker's on top, he got caught at the hand of the Big Show. :'''Jerry Lawler''': ''[as Big Show signals for the chokeslam]'' He said he was gonna do it- he's doing it!! :'''Ross''': The chokeslam, ''[Undertaker breaks through the ring]'' oh- :'''Lawler''' and '''Ross''': OH MY GOD!!! :'''Ross''': Right through the ring!! The Big Show chokeslammed the Undertaker all the way to hell! :'''Lawler''': What? :'''Ross''': ''[as Earl Hebner calls for the bell]'' All the way through the ring! They're both down!!! The Big Show and the Undertaker are both down! ''[bell still rings as Big Show kicks Undertaker before leaving the hole]'' The match is over! The match has been stopped! :'''Lawler''': What? :'''Ross''': The ring has been destroyed... :'''Lawler''': Look at that! :'''Ross''': ...by the damndest chokeslam I've ever seen! === August 9 === :'''Chris Jericho''': Welcome to ''Raw Is Jericho''! And I am the new millennium for the World Wrestling Federation. Now for those of you who don't know me, I am Chris Jericho, your new hero, your party host, and most importantly, the most charismatic showman to ever enter your living rooms via a television screen. And for those of you who DO know me, well, all hail the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-a! :Now when you think of the new millennium, you think of an event so gigantic that it changes the course of history. You think of a dawning of a new era. In this case, the dawning of a new era in the WWF. Thank you, thank you. And a new era is what this once proud and profitable company sorely needs. What was once a captivating, trend-setting program has now deteriorated into a cliched, let's be honest, boring snoozefest that is in dire need of a knight in shining armor, and that's why I'm here. Chris Jericho has come to save the WWF! :Now let's go over the facts. Television ratings, downward spiral; pay-per-view buy-rates, plummeting; mainstream acceptance, non-existent; and reactions of the live crowds, complete and utter silence. And I know why you're silent! You're silent because you're embarrassed to be here. And quite honestly, I'm embarrassed for you. And the reason why you're embarrassed is because of the steady stream of uninteresting, untalented, mediocre "sports entertainers" who you're forced to cheer for and care for. No wonder you're not cheering! You could care less about every single idiot in that dressing room, ''[indicating The Rock]'' and especially this idiot in the center of the ring. You people have been led to believe that mediocrity is excellence. Uh-uh. Jericho is excellence. And now for the first time in WWF history, you have a man who can entertain you. You have a man who is good enough for you. You have a man who can make you jump up off your chairs, raise your filthy fat little hands in the air and scream "Go Jericho go! Go Jericho go! Go Jericho go!" Thank you. :The new millennium has arrived in the WWF, and now that the Y2J problem is here, this company—from the front-office idiots to all the amateurs in the dressing room, including this one, to everybody watching tonight—will never, eeee-ee-eh-ever be the same a-gain! :'''The Rock''': ...After three boring minutes, The Rock says, ''"Know Your Role, AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"'' How dare you little jabroni come on The Rock Show, and not even have the class to introduce yourself. What is your name? :'''Chris Jericho''': I told you-- :'''The Rock''': ''IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!'' The Rock says you talk about your Y2J plan? Well, The Rock has a plan of his own, and it's called the K-Y Jelly plan. Which...which means The Rock is gonna lube his size 13 boot real good. Turn that sumbitch sideways, and STICK it straight up your candy ass! If you smelllll...what The Rock...is cooking. === August 23 === :''[Outside Jeff Jarrett's locker room, where a contract for an Intercontinental Title match is taped to the door]'' :'''Billy Gunn''': Chyna, I need a favor. You got a pen? I need a pen. :'''Chyna''': I don't have one. :'''Billy Gunn''': All right, come here. Stay right here, don't let anybody sign this, I'll be right back, I've gotta find a pen. :'''Jerry Lawler''': ''[as Billy walks away]'' Hey, that...that must be Jeff Jarrett's contract. :'''Chyna''': Okay. :'''Jerry''': Looks like Mr. Ass wants a piece of Jeff Jarrett, he wants to sign that contract. :'''Michael Cole''': Look! Chyna's got a pen! :'''Jerry''': What's she doing?! :''' Cole''': ''[as Chyna signs and runs away]'' She's signing the open contract to meet Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental Championship! === September 20=== :'''Bradshaw''': You know, these Dudley Boys come into the World Wrestling Federation trying to make a name out of themselves by taking on us. You know, they come out here and they spout their commandments. Well, we got three commandments too, it's real simple. #1—Thou shalt not drink our beer; #2—Thou shalt not mess with our [[w:Groupie|rats]]; and #3—I guess [[w:The Public Enemy (professional wrestling)|Public Enemy]] didn't tell them, Thou shalt not cut a promo on the Acolytes! ===December 20=== :''[Val Venis is in the ring for his Holiday Topless Top Rope match against Hardcore Holly]'' :'''Val Venis''': Hello Ladies!! You know something, ladies, you are a lot like Christmas trees. You know, you smell good. You're pretty to look at, but you never really feel special until I ''[makes thrusting motion]'' PLUG IT IN and light you up! == 2000 == ===January 31=== :''[JR and the King talk about the tag team championship match between Al Snow and Steve Blackman against the New Age Outlaws, but JR notices Al Snow going down to one section of the front row]'' :'''Jim Ross''': ''[sees Snow greet some people who just came down]'' Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hey, wait a minute! My God, that's... that's Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko! :'''Jerry "The King" Lawler''': What are they doing here tonight? :'''Jim''': What the hell is going on here? Those four guys... Well, King, we know it's all over the Internet they thumbed their noses at their last employer! :'''Jerry''': Well, I know that. They walked out on that Ted Turner organization, but what are they doing here? :'''Jim''': I know the WWF's been negotiating with those four superstars, but they've not signed any contracts that I'm aware of. :'''Jerry''': Well, they haven't signed any contracts yet, so maybe they're just here to... They're just sitting at ringside, maybe they're here to get a bird'ss-eye view of the competition. :'''Jim''': Well, all I'd say that's a pretty radical strategy on their part, wouldn't you think? It was radical enough that they walked out on their last employer because it was a lousy place to be, in their opinion. :'''Jerry''': Well that was... :'''Jim''': ...and showing up here unannounced is nothing short of radical either. <hr width=50%> :''[The Rock is on the TitanTron after Big Show just defeated 2Cool]'' :'''The Rock''': Finally, the Rock has come BACK to Pittsburgh! Big Show, The Rock realizes what just took place, The Rock realizes that you won a hard-fought victory, well congratulations, but The Rock has but one thing to say to you: ''[singsong]'' somebody got a haircut!! ''[Big Show angrily stomps his feet]'' So that officially means Big Show that you're no longer a long-haired, seven-feet, 500-pound piece of monkey crap, no you are not. You are a SHORT-HAIRED seven-feet, 500-pound piece of steaming, stinking, grade-A monkey crap!!! Now Big Show, you want to run your month about how you've got an eyewitness to The Rock's feet hitting the ground at the Royal Rumble, well The Rock says this: He is tired of hearing you whine. The Rock is tired of hearing you bitch, the Rock is tired of hearing you cry and moan like a baby but there is something that the Rock wants ''[open palm and points at Big Show]'' you to listen to... and that is the most important sound you will ever hear in your pathetic life, and that is all the Rock's fans chanting his name! ''[audience responds with Rocky! chants]'' Now Big Show, seeing as you've heard the sound, The Rock says, go back to [[w:Supercuts|Supercuts]] and get your five dollars back, jabroni!! Now on to our Olympic hero, Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle the Rock says this you run your mouth about how you beat the Rock. The Rock says you have never - and The Rock means ''[audience joins for the word]'' NEVER!! Ever beaten the Rock, so the Rock says this quite simply put, the Rock says that tonight, you like to wear your gold medals, well the Rock says this, he's gonna go out there and win a gold medal for kicking your candy ass all over Pittsburgh! If you SMEEEELLLLL, What the Rock is Cooking! ===April 17=== :'''Chris Jericho''': ''[to Triple H]'' So you're telling me, Triple H, that I have to give up the World Wrestling Federation title because that match never took place? You're telling me that I have to give up the World Wrestling Federation title because these Jericho-holics never saw me beat you in the middle of that ring for this championship? Well, I guess we can all believe that. So I guess it's also not true that your wife Stephanie has not slept with half the boys in that locker room. ''[Stephanie coldly glares at him]'' I guess that we can't believe that either. <hr width=50%> :''[Earl Hebner has reversed Chris Jericho's pinfall win over Triple H and gave him back the WWF Championship per an agreement on Triple H never laying a hand on him while he's still a referee]'' :'''Triple H''': I'm a man of my word, Earl. I will not lay a hand on you as long as you're a World Wrestling Federation referee. Oh and by the way: YOUR ASS IS FIRED!

You wanna know what's unfair is you hopping on a little plane... ''[angry at Slut! chants]'' hopping on a little plane, thinkging you can come down to this ring, to the World Wrestling Federatiton and start making decisions on things you know nothing about! :'''Linda McMahon''': Oh yes I do, yes I can! :'''Stephanie''': In case you haven't forgotten the last we were in the ring together, mother, the McMahon-Helmsley Regime has no problem "slapping" people around, and hopefully you've noticed that the McMahon-Helmsley Regime is all about opportunity - so I'm gonna give you the opportunity to change your mind. Think about it, mother. What's your decision? :'''Linda''': ''[long pause]'' NO!!! :'''Stephanie''': No. You won't change your mind. You're gonna have Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Rock's corner. Well then, I'm not gonna change my mind about what I have to do, but Mom, just remember, like you told me when I was a little girl, this is gonna hurt me a lot worse than it hurts you. ''[tries to slap Linda, but gets knocked down when Linda blocks it and slaps her instead]'' :'''Linda''': ''[shocked at what she just did, tries to crouch down and help Stephanie]'' Oh my God, I'm so sorry. :'''Stephanie''': ''[dismisses her]'' Get away from me!! ===June 12=== :''[WWF CEO Linda McMahon has set up a six-man King of the Ring tagteam match between Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Triple H against the Rock, Undertaker, and Kane.

You think you can come out here and put me in a position where you're gonna embarrass me in front of all these people, that's not gonna happen! I don't give a damn what match you make at the King of the Ring, I don't care what match you make tonight, tomorrow night, or any other night! :'''Linda McMahon''': Well, if that's the case, Vince, how about tonight? ''[let's sink in]'' If that's the case yeah, Triple H, you'll defend the World Wrestling Federation Championship... ''[as HHH seethes]'' against an opponent of my choosing. :'''Vince''': ''[brushes off HHH's protests]'' That's it? You got it! Triple HHH defends his WWF title tonight, and okay he doesn't know who his opponent is. Even so, he'll do it even it's not fair and you know damn well it's not! :'''Linda''': Not fair? Well, if you don't think that's fair, you're probably not gonna like this either. Because there's another championship that needs to be defended tonight- and that championship is yours, Stephanie. ''[Stephanie reacts]'' Come on, Steph, you will defend the World Wrestling Federation Women's Championship against Lita ''[Steph mouths off NO!]'' - and pay very close attention to this, this is the stipulation: If any member of the Faction interferes in the match at all, you will be disqualified and Lita will be awarded the Championship. :'''Vince''': ''[ponders the logic in the announcement]'' All right you got that too, I'm happy. Now you've made your announcements, Little Ms CEO, you can go back to playing CEO somewhere else, maybe where you started your day this morning in Wilmington, Delaware. ''[tries to walk off with Shane, Stephanie, and HHH]'' :'''Linda''': Whoawhoawhoawhoa, Vince. ''[they look back at him]'' I don't play the CEO, ''I am the CEO.'' and as the CEO, I'll make this one final announcement tonight. Tonight, Shane McMahon will see action and also tonight, Vince McMahon will see action. And both Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon will team up in tag-team action against... the Dudley Boyz! ''[Father and son are dumbfounded]'' But it's not just any tag-team match. It's a Tables Match! ''[Shane walks off in disgust while Steph comforts a grimacing Vince]'' === October 2 === :''[The Rock slams Kane and Chris Benoit as they and Kurt Angle leave him, Rikishi, Mick Foley, Triple H and Stephanie]'' :'''Rock''': Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoa. The Rock is not done. You see, Mick Foley, the Rock is in a very giving mood as well. Now Kane, since you just wanna find things... Benoit, all you wanna do is prove things. Well, the Rock is gonna make both of you very happy men tonight. You see, before you and Kane face the Rock and Rikishi, the Rock wants you to do this - the Rock wants you to go find a very quiet place tonight. You two together, nobody else, you two by yourselves, go find a nice quiet place where you can be alone. And all your dreams can come true. All your dreams can come true - your dream, Kane, of finding things - your dream, Benoit, of proving things will come true, and this is how you do it: Benoit, when you're by yourself with Kane, pull your pants down ''[Benoit is blocked by the referees from coming down to the ring]'' go ahead Benoit, pull your pants down, and ''prove'' to Kane that you're not a woman!... and Kane, since you just wanna ''find'' things, you go ahead and find the penis Benoit claims he has!

I promised to deliver the person, who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin, and I will! Fortunately, my announcement will conclude what has undoubtedly been the worst week of my professional career. Unfortunately, all of the evidence points to you, Rock. It was your rental car that ran down Stone Cold, only your fingerprints, only your DNA were found inside the car. Hell, a pair of The Rock's sunglasses were found inside the glove box. And as Linda McMahon herself stated, no one else had as much to gain by Stone Cold's departure, did they, Rock? No, with Stone Cold out of the way, who sold the T-shirts, who picked up the media appearences, whose book went to number one, who showed up on television, who got movie roles? You have not fooled me, Rock, and therefore right here in Anaheim, California, in the case of who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin at Survivor Series, Mick Foley finds The Rock... not guilty! :But if you didn't do it, who did? Now I'm gonna tell you, who did. ''[points to Rikishi]'' He did. I hadn't quite figured it out until Scotty 2 Hotty said something about 'hang out backstage with Rikishi', hell, Rikishi, you weren't even part of Survivor Series, you hadn't even debuted on television! Who else is close enough with The Rock to go inside his dressing room? ''[Rikishi shakes head in denial]'' Who else is close enough with The Rock to reach inside his bag and get his keys? The mirrors and the seat were configured to fit not just a large man, but a very large man. That very large man is YOU! The only thing, I don't know, is why! :'''Rikishi''': Okay. I did it. In case, you didn't hear, I admit. I did it. I ran over Austin. And you ask, why? I didn't do it for me. No, I didn't do it for me. I did it for... The Rock! ''[The Rock is surprised]'' You see, Rock, I took your keys out of your bag that night, when I went to go check into the hotel. And when I jumped into the car, I saw Stone Cold Steve Austin standing in the middle of the parking lot all alone. And suddenly, everything flashed right through my eyes. :You see, the WWF has always been all about the "Great White Hope"... and I'm talking about such people as [[w:Buddy Rogers|Buddy Rogers]], people like [[w:Bruno Sammartino|Bruno Sammartino]], people like [[w:Bob Backlund|Bob Backlund]], people like [[w:Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan]], and now, people like [[w:Stone Cold Steve Austin|Stone Cold Steve Austin]]. You see, the WWF has always let the island boys in, but we were always held back! Now listen to me, Rock, and I really want you to listen to me! And I'm talking about people like your grandfather, a well-respected man, High Chief [[w:Peter Maivia|Peter Maivia]], ''[Rock is visibly shaken at the mention]'' could have became a WWF Champion, but no, they held him back! People like [[w:Jimmy_Snuka|Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka]], could have been a WWF Champion, but no, they held him back! And people like [[w:The_Wild_Samoans|Afa and Sika]], [[w:Samula_Anoaʻi|Samu]], and the [[w:Sam Fatu|Tonga Kid]], they were all held back. :So you see, Rock, I ran Stone Cold over, and I did this for you. I don't expect any favor from you, Rock. No, I don't expect no favors and no payback. Before, I want you people to know all around the world, and set the record straight, that The Rock did not have a damn thing to do with this. I take full responsibility! And you know what, Rock, just you being who you are today is good enough for me and our people. And before I go, one more time, I ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin! And to tell the truth, ''I'd do it again!'' === October 23 === :'''Kurt Angle''': People, I ask you, what do you consider to be a successful year? For most people, a successful year would be maybe earning a little extra money, or getting a promotion, or maybe spending a little extra time with your families and loved ones. With all respect, that's a bunch of garbage. It's true, it's true. I know that people have obstacles to overcome in their lives. For most people, it's overcoming poverty; for some people, it's overcoming impossible odds, like having accomplished something in your life, being born in a city like Hartford, Connecticut. ''[Shakes Stephanie's hand]'' Good job, Steph. Good job. For me, it was accomplishing more in one year than most people will ever accomplish in their whole entire lives. :Let me take you on a little trip. A pictorial journey, if you will. See, four years ago, I captured the Olympic Gold Medal in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. For most people, after capturing the Olympic Gold Medal, they would call it a career. It's over, done. Thankfully, I'm not most people, and that is true. Four years later, I decided to give it a shot and enter the World Wrestling Federation. "The most celebrated athlete in the World Wrestling Federation," the headlines screamed, and boy, were they on the money! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' ASSHOLE! :'''Kurt Angle''': ''[to the crowd]'' Would you keep it down for a second please? :A mere two months in the WWF, and I captured my first gold by winning the European Championship. And incredibly, here's the footage, incredibly, tourism grew in Europe 38% from me! Then, only two months later, two months later, I captured the Intercontinental Championship, in this very city, mind you! And I became the first ever EuroContinental Champion in WWF history. Well, besides D'Lo Brown, but he doesn't count, we know that. :Then four months later, four months later, I not only captured gold, but royalty as well when I was crowned the 2000 King of the Ring. What a memory. Look at that, Steph. Look at that crown and that scepter. And unbelievably, sales of crowns and scepters grew 49%! I couldn't believe it either. :And then last night, the greatest accomplishment of all, with help from my good friend and business partner, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, I topped the most amazing eleven months in WWF history and became the World Wrestling Federation Champion. We will remember that for a lifetime. ''That'', people, is a successful year. That is what separates great men from supermen. With that in mind, I wrote a little poem in celebration of my victory. The poem is called "What Makes a Man Super-Great", and I'd like to read it to you tonight. :Greatness comes in many shapes :Beyond red, white and blue. :It's the addition of the color gold. :Yes, indeed, it's true. ===December 4=== :'''The Rock''': Finally, The Rock has come back to New Jersey! Just as sure as for the very first time, Kevin Kelly, The Rock stood here right in this arena and called ''[points at]'' you an ugly hermaphrodite is just as sure as this Sunday night, at Armageddon, The Rock will be at Hell in a Cell. This is gonna the most brutal match The Rock has ever been in. The dangerousest match The Rock has ever been in. The Hell in a Cell. And it doesn't matter, Kevin Kelly, what you call it. Whether it's called a Hell in a Cell, or Rage in a Cage, Painus in Uranus, the only thing that matters is that The Rock is going in this Sunday night, to do exactly what he does best - layeth the smacketh down and get back The Rock's WWF title. :And the fact of the matter is this, is that The Rock knows this Sunday night, he has his work cut out for him. The Rock knows, he's got five other guys he's got to compete with. And even if The Rock has got to beat Kurt Angle, which means, ''[mocks Angle]'' "I'm gonna drink a big glass of milk, eat some chocolate-chip cookies and then maybe I'll take three Viagra." Or maybe The Rock has got to face Rikishi, beat Rikishi. ''[mimics Rikishi's admission]'' "I did it for The Rock. I did it for the people. I did it for..." oh, shut your mouth, you thong-wearin' fatty! :Or maybe The Rock has got to beat The Undertaker, the American Badass, beat him so bad, that one more he'll raise up... ''[does rising from the dead]'' "Rest in peace!" Or maybe The Rock has got to beat Triple H himself, which ''[copies HHH drawl]''' means-uh, he's got to beat The Game-uh, in the middle of the ring-uh. And he has a two-dollar slut for a wife-uh! ''[normal voice]'' Or maybe The Rock, has gotta beat... ''[wears SCSA woodland camo cap and makes Texan drawl]'' Stone Cold Steve Austin. Which means I gotta get in my, I gotta get my pick-up truck, drink some Steve-weisers, listen to some Backstreet Boys. And that's the bottom line, 'cause the Great One said so! ''[normal]'' One more thing, this Sunday night at Armageddon, The Rock is gonna do all he can to win the WWF title.

''[pulls out Mr Socko and goes around the ring before going down on one knee. mouths off Mr Socko in tinny voice]'' Kiss my fat ass, Vince ''[normal voice]'' and have a nice day! ===December 18=== :''[Stephanie steps in to stop Kurt Angle, Edge and Christian, and Vince McMahon from beating down Commissioner Mick Foley]'' :'''Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley''': Stop! Stop it! Stop beating up on Mick Foley. Mick I hope you're alright because I got something that could change your life forever. I hold in my hand documents from the Board of Directors that could very well change the face of the WWF forever. These papers clearnly state that since my mother, Linda McMahon, the CEO of the World Wrestling Federation, has been deemed mentally incompetent that the Board of Directors has no other alternative than to grant full power and authority of the CEO's office... ''[looks at Foley]'' to ''[changes voice] my dad! [Vince's face regains color as Stephanie give her the papers]'' Congratulations, daddy! It's official! :'''Vince McMahon''': That's my baby girl, huh! Sorry, Linda, if you're in the hospital watching, business is business and since I now have complete and total full authority over the World Wrestling Federation, that means Mr McMahon is back! So therefore, with the power that is invested in me, Vincent K McMahon, it is my duty to inform Mick Foley that his services are no longer required. ''[motions to Foley as he slumps in the corner]'' In other words, Mick Foley, you bleeding huck of adipose tissue, YOU'RE FIRED!! :''[A distraught Foley stands up but Kurt Angle fires a chairshot at him. Vince shakes hands with Kurt Angle, Edge and Christian, and leaves with Stephanie, but remembers something at the stage]'' :'''Vince''': Oh, oh, and uh, just one other thing. Mick, Mick Foley... Merry Christmas! == 2001 == === March 5 === :'''Jim Ross''': Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation. We're live here in D.C., I'm Jim Ross, and... :'''Paul Heyman''': They already know who you are, so tell them who I am now. :'''Jim Ross''': I'm joined by Paul Heyman. :'''Paul Heyman''': You're joined by Paul Heyman, because last Tuesday night, The Kat was released by the WWF, and her husband Jerry "The King" Lawler, to his credit, walked out right alongside with her. But where there's chaos, J.R., there is opportunity. And tonight, just like TNN threw off ECW for the WWF, the King is gone, and in his chair is Paul E., and the E is for '''EXTREME'''! How's that? Not bad, huh? :'''Jim Ross''': I don't know what I did to deserve this... === March 26 === :''[cold opening]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': ''[points to monitors]'' Well now here's the WWF, and here's WCW, there's Jeff Jarrett, and here we have the owner of the World Wrestling Federation - and now the owner of WCW. That's right, I, Vince McMahon, I have purchased - I own, my own competition and tonight, I have the ability to address WWF fans as to what this means. I have the ability to address WCW stars as to what this means to them, and yes, I have the ability to address WCW fans to what this actually means to them as well. Tonight, at the right time, there will be a special simulcast, and let me say for sure, ''[puts up index finger]'' one man will make history, ''[thumbs up at himself]'' and that's me. Vince McMahon. Now, as far as the Jeff Jarretts of the world are concerned, you know how Jeff spells his name "that's J-E-double-F"? Well, you know what hmm I would suspect that we'd spell it a different way after tonight, that would be "capital G, double-O, double-N, double-E... GONE"! <hr width=50%/> :'''Paul Heyman''': ''[as Vince McMahon comes down for the special simulcast with Nitro]'' They say that [[Alexander the Great]] sat down on a rock and cried, for he had no worlds left to conquer. Tonight, the [[w:Monday Night Wars|Monday Night Wars]] are over, and the victor, the victor of the Monday Night Wars is clear, it's ''[refers to Vince as he just instructed Lillian Garcia to repeat her introduction of him]'' that man. <hr width=50%/> :''[Vince McMahon gloats over him buying WCW... but Shane appears, revealing that he's over at the [[WCW Monday Nitro|WCW Nitro]] finale]'' :'''Shane McMahon''': What's up Vince? Surprise Dad, you're in Cleveland, Ohio, and I'm here in Panama City Beach, Florida, standing in a WCW ring and as usual Dad, your ego has gotten the best of you. Your ego has gotten the best of you. I mean, Dad, you wanted to have the audacity to finalize this deal - WCW - at WrestleMania? You wanted to have the audacity to ask Ted Turner himself to come down and finalize that deal? Well, Dad, that's just the opportunity that I was looking for, because Dad, the deal is finalized with WCW and the name on the contract does say "McMahon." ''[WCW fans pop and Vince gulps]'' However, the contract reads, "Shane McMahon." :''[Vince is openmouthed]'' :'''Jim Ross''': ''[on commentary]'' Oh my God! I don't believe it! :'''Shane''': That's right, Dad, I now own WCW! And Dad, just like WCW did in the past--[[w:Monday Night Wars#1996–1997:_WWF_struggles|how it kicked your ass in the past]] and it will again. That's exactly what's gonna happen to you this Sunday, at WrestleMania! :'''Jim''': I can't believe what we have just heard! Shane McMahon has bought WCW! And Mr. McMahon is in absolute shock! <hr width=50%/> :''[Vince McMahon calls his lawyers and makes his rage known over how Shane swept in for the WCW sale]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': Do you attorneys just SHUT UP?!?! You listen to me, dammit! Look I don't care what I said, I don't give a damn what - how could you let that happen? How could you just ''[smashes glass]'' how could you possibly let that happen?!?! HUH?? You son of a bitch! You good for nothing! You ruined this whole damned thing! === June 18 === :'''Diamond Dallas Page''': Undertaker! Like the Diamond Cutter, you never saw it comin'! Now those of you who know me are asking yourself the question why? Why did I, why did Diamond Dallas Page go after the Undertaker like this? Well I'll tell ya. I'll tell ya exactly why. Because if you wanna make an impact in this business, you go after the biggest, the meanest, the baddest dog in the yard. And once you find that dog, if you wanna get the very best of him, you make it personal - ''real'' personal. And then, hey, you find that dog's weakness. Well Taker, you are obviously that dog. And you've been telling people for years that this ring, right here, is your yard. We'll see. :But, up to a few weeks ago, Taker, you have never shown weakness. I mean, NEVER shown weakness. That is, up until a few weeks ago when you told Stone Cold Steve Austin that if he ever, ever messed with your family, you'd make him famous. Duh! Taker, you idiot, Stone Cold Steve Austin's already famous! But it did get me to thinkin'. Good God. When you said what you said about your family, Dead Man, you didn't sound so dead - as a matter of fact, you sounded very ''alive.'' And for you, son, that's a sign of weakness. Taker, think about it. Remember when you used to say, "I've slept through things that make most people's hair turn gray." Remember that? Okay, you didn't say it exactly LIKE that, but you remember that. You also said you weren't afraid of anything. FOUL! I'm gonna call you on that right now. Taker, I'm callin' you a liar! Oh yeah! Oh yeah I am. 'Cause take a look at him now - he's runnin' around his house, lockin' all the windows, lockin' the doors. I can just see him now, calling Vince McMahon this morning. "Mr. McMahon, I can't possibly come in and compete tonight - I can't leave my wife Sara - there's a madman - there's a stalker trying to get to my wife Sara!" :You're scared to death! How's it feel, son? I tell you what, there is a positive side to this. Diamond Dallas Page has made your wife Sara famous. And speaking of famous, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, deserves to be more famous than the King of Ba-da-bing, the Master of the Diamond Cutter. NOBODY deserves to be more famous that ME: DDP! Because my whole life, I've wanted to be since I was eight years old, my whole life people have been tellin' me, until you've been to the shizzow, until you've been to the show, until you've been to the very top of our business, you're never really famous. So Taker, trust me, I'm using you to get the top of this business, and you can take it to the bank, whether I gotta buy a ticket or not, I will see you at King of the Ring. You gotta problem with me? Cool. Taker, I'm beggin' ya - make me FAMOUS! === June 25 === :'''Edge''': Billy (Gunn), since you're not really doing anything lately, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. If, in two years' time at the King of the Ring, I'm not defending a title or even in a match, and my very special assignment is to go to WWF New York and eat a meatball sandwich, then please just shoot me in the head. <hr width=50%/> :'''Al Snow''': ''[walking backstage]'' Did you see ''Tough Enough'' last Thursday? :'''Hardcore Holly''': As a matter of fact, I did, and Al, you did a great job, even though I should've been there to help. :'''Al Snow''': I couldn't agree more...hey, what...what's going on here? :''[They walk up to find several wrestlers around the APA table.]'' :'''Faarooq''': Hey, guys, guys, listen up. WCW, now here's a company that, when you came knocking, that wouldn't answer their door for you; here's a company that wouldn't return your phone calls; here's a company that said ''you'' wasn't [''sic''] talented enough to work for them. Then all of the sudden, when the wells run dry and they have to pay for those million and a half dollar homes and those brand new BMWs, those brand new Mercedes, they come running their asses here for us to save 'em. Well, guess what. This is the WWF. We all helped build this house. Now all of the sudden, they want a piece of the pie? I say hell no. :'''Bradshaw''': WCW wants to walk into ''our'' house, a house we built, a house you all built? You guys are on the World Wrestling Federation roster; it took some of you years to get here. But you're here now, and that means you're the best in the world at what you do. And now, these guys from WCW, because they couldn't make it on their own, want to come ridin' piggyback off of us 'cause we're the only show in town? Well, let's make this perfectly clear. Diamond Dallas Page, Booker T, Mike Awesome, everybody from WCW, you can go straight to Hell. We'll meet your ass there, we'll kick it there too! :Whatever you thought about us in the past, whatever you think about us now doesn't really matter. We've stood alone before. What I'm asking you is this. We're asking you to show why you're on this roster, we're asking you to stand up for what you have built. There's going to be a fight. I know there's gonna be a fight because ''we're'' gonna start it! There's gonna be some beer gettin' drunk, there's gonna be some asses gettin' kicked, but most of all, it's time we got medieval on somebody's ass! ===July 9=== :''[Vince McMahon is shocked at the WCW and ECW groups seemingly together and mauling the WWF group]'' :'''Shane McMahon''': Hey Dad, you want to know what is going on? Can't you see what is happening? I said I could never ever compete with your checkbook, but I can outsmart you and that's exactly what I've done tonight. That's exactly what we did tonight. You see Dad back in the locker room you told me that I will be personally responsible for everything that happens out here tonight. And you know what Dad, you're right. I'm personally responsible for all of this. I'm personally responsible for WCW. I am personally responsible for ECW being here tonight. :'''Paul Heyman''': How do you like that Vince? HUH!? How do you like it now!?!? :'''Shane''': And I am personally responsible for the MERGER of WCW and ECW coming together tonight! So, Dad, at InVasion, this new entity, WCW and ECW is gonna kick the WWF's ass! Oh yeah, I got one more thing for you, one more. And I am also personally responsible and privileged to introduce you to the new owner of ECW. I believe you know this person quite well. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up...for Vince's daughter Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley! ''[Vince reacts as Triple H's intro music "My Time" plays and slowly turns around to see Stephanie passing him]'' :'''Jim Ross''': The new owner of WCW. Oh my God, Shane owns WCW and the princess, Vince's little baby girl, now owns ECW. For the love of God, the sins of the father are costing us all in the WWF! I do not believe this! July 9, 2001 - a date that will live in sports entertainment infamy! ===July 16=== :''[The Alliance leaders are happy with Steve Austin walking out on Vince at the previous SmackDown! show]'' :'''Stephanie McMahon''': I'm so excited for Booker T to rip off Chris Jericho's head tonight and again this Sunday, at Invasion! :'''Paul Heyman''': I love her enthusiasm ''[to Shane McMahon]'' Shane, think about it. This Sunday at Invasion Inaugural Brawl, it's our five best against their five best and their very best, Stone Cold Steve Austin, ain't at his best anymore now, is he? :'''Shane McMahon''': Now let's get down to out five best that we're in agreement. ''[counts on fingers]'' Booker T. :'''Heyman''': Right. :'''Shane''': DDP... :'''Heyman''': Right. :'''Shane''': The Dudley Boyz, and Rhyno... :'''Heyman''': GORE! GORE! GORE! ''[Stephanie is surprised]'' :'''Shane''': ...will represent us this Sunday. :'''Stephanie''': WCW and ECW. :'''Shane''': This Sunday, sports entertainment as we know it, the course of it, will be changed forever. <hr width=50%/> :''[Vince, the Undertaker, and the APA meet the entire WWF locker room]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': All right guys, listen up here for a minute, please. :'''Faarooq''': Hey, hey. I'm sure y'all saw what happened here tonight. Look, they still don't damn get it. But you know what, tonight we're gonna show their asses that we mean business. ''[wrestlers murmur in assent]'' :'''Bradshaw''': These second-rate sons of bitches wanna ride piggyback offa us, 'cause they can't make it on their own? Then tell 'em to bring their little invasion on, because starting tonight, we ain't takin' this shit no more. It's TIME we got knee-deep in somebody's ass! ''[wrestlers get agitated]'' :'''McMahon''': Guys, let me just say this, that - make no mistake about what's going down here tonight - make no mistake about what's gonna happen this Sunday, 'cause no one in this room has ever been threatened personally...like you're threatened now. None of us have ever been threatened collectively like we're threatened now. This coalition of WCW and ECW - they wanna eat each and every one of you alive. They wanna do it tonight, and they wanna finish us off on Sunday. Now I was hoping that we were gonna have someone with us tonight to lead the way, Stone Cold Steve Austin. :'''Undertaker''': To HELL with all that! I've heard all of that I'm gonna hear. What it's time for is to find out who the phony tough is and who's the crazy brave. Austin - he's made a hell of a name for himself here in the WWF, and now he don't have the heart to go out and to fight for the company that made him? I say the HELL with him! The rest of you, you need to understand this - there's no shame in goin' out and fightin' and gettin' your ass kicked. There's no honor in not fighting at all. So who wants to fight? ''[wrestlers murmur]'' WHO WANTS TO FIGHT??!? ''[wrestlers get agitated and Undertaker quiets them as a staff member brings in Freddie Blassie on a wheelchair]'' :'''Freddie Blassie''': Gentlemen, there comes a time when every man must fight for what he believes in! ''[rises from wheelchair]'' You understand? Now's the time! Get up, stand up, and fight! ''[wrestlers get louder]'' :'''Wrestlers''': Fight!! FIGHT!!!! :''[at a bar, Austin is so unnerved by footage of the gathering that he moves balls around a pool table and smashes a cue before leaving]'' :'''Debra''': Steve! Where are you going?? ===August 27=== :''[The Rock appears after winning the WCW title]'' :'''The Rock''': Finally, The Rock has come back to Grand Rapids! Shane McMahon, just so the Rock understands this: The Rock supposedly doesn't care about the history of the WCW? The Rock doesn't care about history of the WCW title? Well The Rock knows damn well the history of the WCW title. The Rock knows that the title traces back to Frank Gotch, Lou Thesz, Ricky Steamboat, and - woooooooooo! - Ric Flair! The Rock also knows damn well, what in recent years the WCW title has come to... Diamond Dallas Page? Booker T? The [[w:David Arquette|guy]] from ''Scream 2'', the dog from ''Married with Children'', the maid from ''The Jeffersons''! Shane McMahon, this WCW title is just like your sister, everybody gets ''[makes finger-petting motion]'' a turn! ===September 24=== :'''Michael Cole''': Last night at Unforgiven, you successfully defended your WCW title, but no rest for the weary, because tonight you will defend that title, yet again, this time against Rob Van Dam. :'''The Rock''': Finally, The Rock has come back to Columbus! ''[crowd cheers]'' You see, last night was a very special night for The Rock. Handicap match, The Rock, Booker T, Shane O'Mac, The Rock walked in to Unforgiven the WCW Champion, The Rock walked out Unforgiven the WCW Champion! ''[crowd cheers]'' But tonight is a very special night as well. You see, tonight will mark the first time, FIRST TIME, The Rock will defend his WCW title against Rob Van Dam. But that's not the only reason why tonight is a very special night. You see, on this night, 25 years ago, from the testicles of Vince McMahon himself, came something so terrifying! So horrifying, it sends chills up and down men's bodies all over the world! Tonight marks the birth of one Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. And you know, Stephanie, a word of warning. The Rock knows that you like to get involved in all The Alliance matches. So if you decide to get involved in The Rock's match tonight, Stephanie, The Rock - ''[The Rock looks off-screen for several seconds as the crowd cheers]'' Stephanie if you decide to get involved in The Rock's match tonight, then just like the doctor did 25 years ago when he held your little baby body up and wiped all the afterbirth goo from your body, The Rock will take the back of the people's hand and slap that million dollar candy ass! ''[crowd cheers]'' But you see, Stephanie, don't get The Rock wrong, The Rock is happy it's your birthday. As a matter of fact, The Rock wants to help you celebrate this very joyous occasion. So Stephanie, allow The Rock to sing you a very special birthday song. ''[singsong]'' Happy Birthday to Steph, you're a hoe with big breasts, so take the night off from hooking, if you smell what The Rock is cooking! === October 29 === :'''Jim Ross''': ''[after Vince McMahon knocks down his son, Shane, with a trash can]'': Can Vince make the cover?

Coming from behind The Undertaker, ''[Regal then hits the Regal Cutter on The Undertaker]'' and Regal, taking The Undertaker down, and perhaps out of this equation. ''[the crowd cheers loudly as suddenly The Rock comes out to the ring and attacks Regal]'' And there's The Rock! :'''Paul''': But whose side is he on?! :'''Jim''': Team WWF!

For the love of God, Shane McMahon has coerced Kurt Angle to join the Alliance! :'''Paul''': Kurt Angle has joined the Alliance! It's true! It's damn true! :'''Jim''': Kurt Angle with an assault with a steel chair! Team WWF has gone to hell! My God, Kurt Angle has screwed us all and joined the damned Alliance! === November 19 === :''[Vince McMahon is not too pleased to see Ric Flair and demands an explanation]'' :'''Ric Flair''': The explanation that I'm gonna give you all revolves around the fact that I bet on a winner last night! Woooo! :'''Vince McMahon''': What the hell are you talking about? :'''Ric''': I sat home, wooo!! on the big side of town, in that big house, and I bet on a winner last night. But ''[to Kurt Angle]'' Kurt Angle, let me just say this to you. You're a man who's got an Olympic gold medal, you got a legacy, you're an ambassador, this is no way you want to win the World title. Be Kurt Angle, be the gold medal winner, and be a man that wins by beating the best man. :'''Vince''': So you came down here 'cause its your hometown to give us your opinion. How nice, Mr Flair. Nice to see you, now goodbye. :'''Ric''': You want, you want me to just cut it to the quick right away? I bet on a winner last night, and do you know, that when Shane and Stephanie sold their stock to that consortium, that the consortium... wooo!! ''[takes off coat, goes on rope, makes the strut, and swings off rope before going back to Vince]'' The consortium was '''me''', and now you and I, are limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin', wheeling-dealin' son of a guns!

''[embraces Vince briefly]'' :'''Jerry Lawler''': What?!! :'''Jim Ross''': Oh my god...Flair and McMahon are partners?!!? == 2002 == ===March 25=== :'''Linda McMahon''': Good evening. Tonight, we will witness the first-ever World Wrestling Federation draft. Vince McMahon will represent ''SmackDown!''. Ric Flair will represent ''Raw''. In the interest of time, only 20 picks will actually be made live tonight. A lottery will be held immediately following ''Raw'' on WWF.com to determine placement of all other World Wrestling Federation performers. The result of tonight's historic draft becomes effective on next week's ''Raw''. However, because of the Triple Threat WWF Championship match tonight, neither Triple H, Chris Jericho, nor Stephanie McMahon is eligible to be drafted. And due to a contractual clause, Stone Cold Steve Austin is not eligible to be drafted either. Mr. Austin is therefore declared a free agent, able to sign with either ''SmackDown!'' or ''Raw''. Thank you for your attention this evening and best of luck to all the World Wrestling Federation superstars. === July 1 === :''[Booker T chances upon Goldust]'' :'''Booker T''': Tell me you're not dressed like that.

Who are you supposed to be tonight? :'''Goldust''': ''[as Darth Vader, complete with breathing. touches Booker T]'' Booker, the Force is strong with you, but you are not a Jedi yet. :'''Booker T''': Look man, I don't know what you're talking about, but I ain't no Star Wars geek. I ain't watched a movie and never will. :'''Goldust''': ''[removes helmet]'' Booker, it's not about that. It's about last week and our splendid plan. It's about me concocting another marvelous plan tonight if you will only go over there and relax. Get your matcon and get ready.. I will be back ''[dons helmet]'' :'''Booker T''': Let me see that. ''[takes lightsaber toy, but gets amazed when it lights up, and makes motions and humming sounds as if he's using the weapon]'' I'm like, I'm about to get medieval man... OBI-BOOK KENOBI!! It don't matter whether you're a Stormtrooper or the nWo, your ass is about to get waxed by the five-time Master Jedi champion, now can you dig that, ''[kneels and thrusts lightsaber upwards]'' sucka!!! ''[returns to normal and gives Goldust the lightsaber back]'' Take care of your business, man. ''[leaves]'' === July 15 === :'''Booker T''': ''[in interview with Jonathan Coachman]'' The fact of the matter is this. Big Show, I'm 'bout to come out here and pull an Allen Iverson on yo' punk ass and show you why you don't put your hands on the ''[counts fingers on hand]'' five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time WCW Champion! Now can you dig that... ''[looks over and looks like he's seeing a ghost, but it's actually...]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': ''[shaking Booker's hand]'' Booker T, so good to see you again, my friend. :'''Booker T''': ''[to Coach after Eric walks off]'' Tell me I didn't just see that. <hr width=50%/> :''[With the one-hour countdown to naming a new Raw General Manager is up, Vince comes out]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': You know, you don't realize this but it takes a real son of a bitch to be successful in this business. So from one son of a bitch to another, allow me to introduce you to the new general manager of ''Raw'' - his name is ERIC BISCHOFF! :''[Bischoff comes out and gives McMahon a deep embrace and raise their arms together. Bischoff heads down to the ring]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': "For those of you who may not know me... my name is Eric Bischoff, and I used to run WCW. Not that watered-down version, by the way, that invaded this company... but the real deal. You see, when I ran WCW, I became famous. That's right. I was the only person EVER able to take it right to Vince McMahon. That would be me. In fact, when Vince was out here a couple weeks ago talking about ruthless aggression... just who the hell do you think he was talking about? That, of course, would be me - I've personified ruthless aggression. :When Vince McMahon needed star power, I was ruthless. Hell, I signed everybody he had! Hulk Hogan - Randy Savage - Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Roddy Piper, it went on and on and on, hell - I was like a kid in a candy store! I signed Bobby "the Brain" Heenan and Mean Gene Okerlund... just for the hell of it! Just because I could. But what I really did... is I took this little family business, this McMahon monopoly, and I gave it one big swift kick in the crotch. And it was sweet. In fact, while Vince McMahon was on trial with the federal government, he took his eye off the ball - and I raided his company dry. :And for all of you people who say the only reason I was successful is because I had Ted Turner's money, I've got news for each and every one of you - I was successful because I was innovative. In fact, I was cutting edge, remember - remember back when ''Raw'' was taped every other week and ''Nitro'' was live, and I decided to go on the air two minutes before ''Raw'', and I gave away everything that happened on ''Raw'' so YOU people didn't have to watch it? Oh, DAMN! That was ruthless. And it was a little aggressive, but it worked. And how about Alundra Blayze, you remember her? Vince's Woman's World Champion, I signed her away and I said 'hey, Alundra, bring your belt to ''Nitro'',' she didn't really want to, but I made her, 'cause... she worked for me. And I had her go out on national television and throw it in the trash! Hahaha... that one killed me, it was a little ruthless, it was a little aggressive, but it worked. :But you know what the important thing was? Is I forced Vince McMahon to change the way he did television. *I* did. Because on ''Nitro'', I gave away a competitive main event every week with big stars! Hell, ''WCW Nitro'' changed the face of sports entertainment forever! And I singlehandedly forced Vince McMahon to change the way HE did business so HE could keep up with ME. It was beautiful. Hey, remember when I created the nWo? Cutting edge! Ruthless! Aggressive! Not some stale retread. ''Nitro'' beat ''Raw'' 84 WEEKS IN A ROW. Eighty-four weeks in a row, and I came THIS close - can you see it? THIS close to putting this company out of business forever. Singlehandedly! :So naturally, I was a little surprised when my phone rang...and on the other end was none other than Vince McMahon, and he said 'hey Eric, whaddaya think about becoming the general manager of ''Raw''?' Well I gotta tell ya, I was surprised. I was DAMN surprised. But then the more I thought about it, the more sense it made to me - because you see if there's one person - ONE person who can take this... struggling franchise, and turn it into a national media powerhouse! Well... that would be... ME. And it's gonna start right here on ''Raw'', and we're gonna kick it off this Sunday at Vengeance. Because there was one thing that I really wanted to do when I was running WCW, never got the job done, one piece of talent that I could never sign away. Just one. And I'm absolutely convinced - absolutely convinced that if I would have been able to sign him that right now, today, ''Nitro'' would be on the air, and Vince McMahon, my new best friend, with all due respect, would be working for me. But that's okay. Because it's not gonna be the nWo that signs Triple H - uh uh - that would be me. :And for all of the rest of you in the back - some of you I've had a chance to work with, some of you I'm meeting for the very first time - one thing I'm sure you'll all agree on is that people generally like working for me - it's really not about the money - truly, it's not. People are drawn to winners - you people are drawn to winners - Mr. McMahon was drawn to a winner, which is why he hired me. Let's face it: the WWE *needs* me - you people DESERVE me - and there's one thing I wanna promise each and every one of you people. I am here to put the 'E' in WWE. === August 26 === :'''Paul Heyman''': We stand here tonight on the sacred ground of the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. And, you can take Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham, Hollywood Hulk Hogan...you can combine them all and they STILL don't equal this man. And the funniest thing about it is, I TOLD YOU SO! And none of you would listen to me! I told you Brock Lesnar was the Next Big Thing, and none of you would listen. I told you Brock Lesnar would win the King of the Ring, and none of you would listen to me. I told you that Brock Lesnar would destroy the myth of Hulkamania, none of you would listen to me! I told you Brock Lesnar would beat The Rock for the Undisputed title at SummerSlam, and none of you would listen to me! Well you think by now, you people would learn to listen! === October 7 === :[''Triple H and Ric Flair appear on the stage after Kane successfully defends the World Tag Team Championship in a TLC match''] :'''Triple H''': Kane, I promised you that before this night was over, your life would never be the same. You said this is the happiest you've ever been in your life, huh? Well, unfortunately, some people always can't be that happy. [''crowd chants "asshole" at Triple H''] Let me ask you a question, Kane! How happy is Katie Vick? Yeah, that's right. I know, Kane. I know it all. Ten years ago, you killed her. That's right, Kane. You are a murderer. [''Kane stands in the ring, speechless''] == 2003 == === February 3 === :'''Triple H''': Today marks the beginning of a new era. You see, in this industry, just like in life, everything evolves. And what you see in this ring before you is the greatest example of Evolution you will ever see. Ric Flair, 16 times Heavyweight Champion of the World, the Nature Boy, the greatest professional wrestler of all time, a living legend. WHOO! Ric Flair has done it all and has beaten them all and done with a class and a style like no one else. Take it from me: There is no one better than Ric Flair. :And all of the things Flair represents, I am today. I have taken all of those attributes and I have put them into the ultimate package. I have put them into a body that every man out there wishes he had and every single one of you women out there wants to be with. You top that off with a mind made for this business and you get the greatest Ring General of all time. You get the best that there is. You get The Game. You get the World Heavyweight Champion. Trust me, trust me when I tell you that there is only one diamond in this business, and baby, you’re looking at him. :But evolution always continues, and you have to look to the future. And I look to you, Dave Batista. 6'5", 325 pounds of genetic stopping power! Unbridled destruction! In a war, when all seems lost, you take out your biggest gun and you blow them all away. :And Randy Orton. The business in his blood. Third-generation Superstar, the man has every gift a man can be given. Raw, raw genetic talent. Randy Orton is the diamond-''[correcting himself]'' Randy Orton is the coal that will be squeezed into the next diamond. :You see, in life, everything happens for a reason. That's just the natural process of evolution. You see, and if you don't have what it takes, you will be left behind. So if you wake up one day, and you’re lying in a hospital bed, and you’re all beat up and you’re wondering to yourself what in the hell happened, then there's just one answer for you: Evolution has just passed you by. === February 24 === :''[from an exclusive interview, a few weeks after Goldust was electrocuted]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Goldust, let's get right to the heart of the matter, how are you feeling these days? :'''Goldust''': Question is, after last week's beating, how are ''you'' feeling, JR? :'''Jim''': Well...uh, I'll-I'll be all right, but I'm a whole lot more concerned about you and...give us an update. :'''Goldust''': Well, I was electrocuted, you know, there's...you either die or you live, and, uh...happily, I lived, and-and hopefully soon I'll be back. :'''Jim''': Your good friend Booker T said that, on a recent interview, that "good ol' Goldie wasn't quite right". Uh, there's also been rumors abounding that, uh, you have some neurological challenges you're trying to overcome. How do you address those rumors? :'''Goldust''': There's been a lot of rumors for a lot of years about Goldust not being "right". As far as Booker T's concerned, he's my best friend. He's been my supporter. The fans have sup - ''[twitching]'' ooh, ooh, ooh - supported me through thick and thin. :'''Jim''': Excuse me? :'''Goldust''': Well, they've supported me. I feel good. I feel as good as...I feel - uhh, AHH! - as good as gold, I'm coming back - AHH! :'''Jim''': Look, Goldust, I'm...I don't think - I don't think I'm going out on a limb here to say that, uh...there's something wrong here. :'''Goldust''': Well, I-I think there's something wrong too, you know, the doctors don't - ooh, ooh - don't...don't...mmm...don't, don't really know what's wrong with me, you know. Uh, but they say as long as I take...take my medication that-that-that-that...that, uh, you know, everything will - AHH! - work it...work itself out, so...you know, that's - AY! - that's all I can say. :'''Jim''': If you had the opportunity to say something to the two men that did this to you - Randy Orton and Batista - what would it be? :'''Goldust''' ''[staring into the camera]'': Randy Orton and Batista...you don't know what it feels like to be on the edge of death...but when this is all over, said and done, you will ''never'' forget the name of - ''[inhales]'' - Goldust.

The Rock knows who you are, my man, yeah; don't you ever bust in the Rock's door like that again, you hear? Hey, but what's more importantly than that, let the Rock remind you of something: you ain't nothin'. You understand that? Every superhero can whip that ass, every single one of 'em! EVERY single one of 'em! Superman, Batman, Aquaman, oh yeah, Aquaman, that dude that talks to the fish, he'll whip that little candy ass, ''[snapping his fingers]'' just like that! :'''The Hurricane''': Well, I know one superhero who I can definitely beat! :'''The Rock''' ''[grinning, to himself]'': This is a joke.

The Hurricane jumps out of the closet and stands on the other side of the Rock]'' :'''The Hurricane''': Holy...hypocrite! Just last week, you challenged Stone Cold Steve Austin to meet you, face-to-face, and yet this week, you got Eric Bischoff and his criminal committee doing all your dastardly work.

The Rock's glad you're here, because - I wanted to talk to you. The Rock - the Rock, he was gonna go looking for you. Do you remember last week when you came, waltzin' in to the Rock's locker, you remember that? Yeah. And you talk - and you talk about how, how, how the Hurricane, could just whip the Scorpion King's ass! Yeah, you remember that? And you also talk, talk about how the Hurricane could just, could just gonna toss the Rock over the top rope, remember that? Well, if the Rock's memory serves him correctly, it was ''the Rock'' that tossed your little Hamburglar monkey ass right over the top rope. Remember that? Made you with all your friends; you had Grimace, and-and-and Mayor McCheese, Ronald McDonald, all them! Yeah! Remember that? More importantly than that, more importantly than that...when the Rock tossed you over the top rope, he was screaming something; the Rock was screaming something very important in your ear. Do you remember what the Rock was screaming? :'''The Hurricane''': I remember you screaming. But it was when Booker T threw ''yo' '' ass over the top rope that you were screaming! ''[demonstrating how the Rock was thrown over the top rope]'' Like this! :'''The Rock''': Don't do that. ''[The Hurricane demonstrates again]'' ''[stammering]'' No, none of that! Hey! Hey! ''[addressing the crowd]'' Hey-hey, stop cheering! ''[the crowd cheers loudly]'' Hey, he didn't throw - no, he didn't! You hear the Rock, he didn't throw - Booker T didn't throw the Rock over the top rope, the Rock ''tripped'' over the top rope, that's what happened. ''[to the crowd]'' Yeah, that's what happened! ''[the crowd boos]'' Oh, the Rock ''said'' that's what happened! ''[the crowd boos again]'' Let the Rock, l-l-let the Rock, let the Rock remind you of something! Let the Rock remind you of something: you ain't nothin'! You ain't nothin'! You ain't no superhero, not like the Scorpion King! You're 100 pounds of nothin'! 5-feet-nothin'! Oh, excuse the Rock one second, excuse the Rock, ''[taking his cell phone out of his pocket]'' his cell phone's goin' off! Oh, yeah! Oh... ''["answering" his cell phone]'' Ka-kow, hello? Hey, it's Nothing, he says he knows you! ''[putting his cell phone back into his pocket]'' You're nothin'! ''[to the crowd]'' Oh, don't laugh at the Rock's jokes! ''[to the Hurricane]'' Cause you're nothin'! You're no - and, as a superhero... ''[chuckling]'' you've got braces! ''[The Hurricane begrudgingly smiles to reveal the braces on his teeth]'' You've got braces - what, wh-what are you, the president of student council? Is that what you're gonna do? What, are you gonna go sell band candy after the show? ''[laughing]'' Get your little Hamburglar green monkey ass out of the - before you leave, before you leave, before you go flyin' out, you do all that...uh, unrealistic crap, let the Rock remind you of something: the Rock, when he threw you over the top rope, he was saying to you, he was screaming to you, he was screaming to you, he said, hey! The greatest line, a superhero has ever said, the Scorpion King! He said, "haku machente, da"! "Haku machente, ah!", do you remember that? Do you have any idea what that means? Do you have any idea, can you fathom, how-how enormous that is? Do you know what "haku machente" means? :'''The Hurricane''': Well, apparently, from what I saw behind that curtain, it means "the Scorpion King's got a tiny ding-a-ling"! :'''The Rock''' ''[horrified]'': AAHH!! AHH! No! No! Ahh! No - ''[stammering]'' - hey, whoa-whoa-whoa, I mean, there's a reason they call the Rock "The Rock"! Oh, yeah! ''[patting his leg]'' E-easy, big fella! Oh, yeah. Ah, no! No! That - ''[to the crowd]'' - stop laughing! ''[to the Hurricane, stammering]'' You know, I tell ya - how 'bout back to reality, a place that you clearly have no idea where that's at, because you are clearly insane? Let the Rock ask you this: what do - what do you want? What do you want? :'''The Hurricane''': I'm here, Rock, because I figured you out. You're a coward! You're afraid of Steve Austin! You're afraid of Stone Cold! That's why you got Eric Bischoff to do all your dirty work today. You see, you talk a big game, and your gums, they do flap, but it would appear, that you're full of Brahma bull CRAP! ''["flies" his way out of the Rock's locker room again]'' :'''The Rock''': Hey-hey-hey, the Rock ain't scared, of nobody! Nobody! ''[looking down at his pants]'' You are ''still'' the man! You are still, you are... === March 31 === :'''Jim Ross''': Glad you're happy about it. Folks, I'll tell you what, as long as I live, as long as I live, I'll never ver - gonna forget March 31, 2003 because, although Eric Bischoff has done the worst thing that any human being, he has, he has robbed Austin of his dreams, of his livelihood. And let me say this. And understand what I'm telling you. And I'm on record for this. Eric Bischoff is a no good, lousy, son of a bitch. :'''Jerry Lawler''': Hey hey hey! Easy! :'''Ross''': That's exactly what he is! And how he got Austin's records, I'll never know. But he's a no good bastard for what he did, for taking Austin right out of the ball game for medical reasons. He's ruined his dreams, he couldn't beat him, he can't find anybody to beat him, and this is what he's done! And he oughta burn in hell for it! === May 12 === :''[The Dudley Boyz just trashed 3-Minute Warning for almost beating up Classy Freddie Blassie, but....]'' :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': Whoa whoa whoa, stop it right there. Stop it right there. Classy Freddie Blassie got something he wants to say. :'''Freddie Blassie''': D-Von, get the table! :'''Austin''': You heard the man. D-Von get the table!!!

How do you feel now? Are you proud of yourself now, Austin? How did that make you feel?! That wasn't Kane who put the match to Jim Ross! That wasn't Kane who poured gasoline on him! That wasn't Kane who set Jim Ross on fire, dammit! It was YOU! This is YOUR fault! Yours and yours alone! And I've got news for you; I got a call from Linda McMahon! Next week, in Los Angeles, in the ring you're standing in right now, she is going to fire your ass! Fire you! Damn you to hell anyway, Steve Austin! Damn, you, straight, to, hell!!! You rotten bastard! === December 8 === :''[Raw co-general manager Mick Foley stands in the ring with a clipboard as the crowd chants his name]'' :'''Mick''': You know, when I took over as co-general manager of ''Raw'', I did so with the intention of making things right. ''[the crowd cheers]'' Now if, at Armageddon, Ric Flair were to become involved in the Randy Orton-RVD match, well then that certainly would not be right. So I've decided that that matchup at Armageddon needs a special guest referee... :'''Jerry "The King" Lawler''': Uh-oh. :'''Mick''': ...and after consulting with myself for several hours I've decided that that special guest referee is going to be: me, Mick Foley. :'''Jerry''': What? :'''Jim Ross''': Oh, Mick! :''[the crowd cheers]'' :'''Mick''': Thank you. Now, another thing I'd like to make right, is the reinstatement to ''Raw'' of Stone Cold Steve Austin. ''[the crowd cheers louder]'' :'''Jim''': He started that petition drive last week. :'''Mick''': Last week, I brought out a petition; as of now, we have over half a million signatures saying, "We want Stone Cold back on ''Raw''!" ''[the crowd keeps cheering]'' :'''Jim''': It was on the Internet- :'''Mick''': But we need more. So I brought out another petition, so that tonight, in Anaheim, California... :''[suddenly he is interrupted by La Résistance's music, and René Duprée and Rob Conway make their way out to the ring, both brandishing French flags]'' :'''Jerry''': Uh-oh, wait a minute. :'''Jim''': La Résistance. And La Résistance, of course, were embarrassed and humiliated last week, being fired for a few minutes because, well, they - they didn't recite the Pledge of Allegiance for the flag of the United States of America! :'''Jerry''': Well, René didn't. That was great, Mick Foley tried to make La Résistance say the Pledge of Allegiance. Well, they're killing Mick Foley's buzz here, what are they - what are they doing out here? :'''Jim''': They earn their money in this country, why can't they...do the right thing? I mean - Conway's not French, he's a French sympathizer! :'''Jerry''' ''[as Conway takes a mic]'': Speaking of the right thing, look at - look at Foley's shoes! :'''Rob''': Hold on...you say you're out here to make things right? ''[the crowd starts a "USA" chant]'' You call humiliating us last week on live TV "making things right"? :'''René''' ''[taking the mic]'': Well, you're not right! Look at you, Mick Foley, you're nothing but a joke! ''[to the crowd]'' And America is a joke as well! :''[the crowd boos]'' :'''Jerry''': Wait a minute. :'''René''': You really think if the French would have gone to Iraq, we would not have found the weapons of mass destruction? Hell, the war would have been over! :'''Jim and Jerry''': What?! :'''René''': Because everybody knows that the French are not only better lovers...we are better fighters as well. :'''Jim''': Come on! :'''Rob''': You see, Mick, Eric Bischoff had assured us that our jobs are safe. So it's our turn to humiliate ''you'', starting with you saluting the French flag... :''[the crowd boos]'' :'''Jerry''': Oh, come on! :'''Rob''': ...right here, right now! :'''Jerry''': Like, Eric Bischoff said their jobs are safe? :'''René''': And if you don't, ''je te pitié, mon ami'', we will intro you to a beating, French-style. :'''Mick''': Wait a second, let me get this straight: you want me to salute the French flag, right here, right now? ''[looks to the crowd, who boos and tries to dissuade him]'' :'''Jerry''': Let's make a bet on that! :'''Mick''': Listen, wait-wait, you know...I have - I have nothing against French things. I-I like French fries...I like, I like French toast... :'''Jerry''': Yeah! :'''Mick''': I like, I even like French's mustard! :'''Jerry''': Ah! :'''Mick''': But I don't like ''you''. ''[pointing his finger at Duprée and backing him into a corner]'' So if you think you're gonna beat the crap out of me, you go ahead, but I sure as hell am not gonna stand here in Anaheim, California - ''[the crowd cheers loudly]'' - of the United States of America, and salute that damn flag! You think you can beat the crap out of me, you bring it on now, but I'm not saluting the French flag! :'''René''': Well, ''c'est la vie'', Mick Foley! We have no problem with, how do you say, kicking your ass! ''[he and Conway drop their flags]'' :'''Mick''': Bring it on!

The Rock has come back to Anaheim! :'''Jerry''': Oh yes! It's the Rock! :'''The Rock''': See, let the Rock clear something up, the Rock came out here tonight to surprise his friend Mick Foley; the Rock came out to surprise, the millions... :'''The crowd''': And millions! :'''The Rock''': ...of the Rock's fans...but see, the Rock is a little confused; he's confused, you see, because the Rock knows everybody here. The Rock knows Mick Foley, the Rock knows the people... ''[the crowd cheers loudly]'' ...the Rock knows Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross... :'''Jerry''': Hey-hey! :'''The Rock''': Yeah. Yeah. The Rock knows Lilian Garcia! ''[Lilian waves at the Rock]'' How you doing, honey? :'''Jerry''': Uh-oh! :'''The Rock''': You still like the strudel? :'''Jerry''': Oh! ''[Lilian smiles sheepishly and the Rock laughs]'' How else does the Rock know Lilian? :''[the crowd starts a "Rocky" chant again]'' :'''The Rock''': The Rock knows every - ''[gesturing to the cameraman in the corner]'' - the Rock knows Marty, the cross-dressing cameraman right here, he knows him. ''[indicating the cameraman]'' Don't worry, your secret's safe with the Rock; you see, the Rock, the Rock doesn't know, the Rock doesn't know two people. The Rock doesn't know you two. So help the Rock. Tell the Rock, exactly, who in the blue hell are you two French popcorn farts anyway? :'''Jerry''': Ahh! :'''The Rock''' ''[as Duprée starts to reply]'': It doesn't matter who you are!! ''[the crowd cheers]'' You thi - you actually think the Rock gives a monkey's nutsack what Pepé Le Pew number 1 and number 2 have to say? :'''Jerry''': Pepé Le Pew?! :'''The Rock''': You come out here running your mouth, running your mouth to Mick Foley about how you're gonna beat him French-style? What the hell is that, what are you gonna do, French kiss him to death, is that what you're gonna do? Look at you two - the Rock knows, the Rock knows you two are little Fifi, anyway! :'''Jerry''': Fifi?? :'''Jim''': What was that, "Fifi"? :''[the crowd begins a "Fifi" chant]'' :'''Jerry''': Fifi chant! :'''Jim''': La Résistance didn't like that a bit. :'''The Rock''': The Rock asks you, come out here running your French mouths, let the Rock ask you one question: how's your lips? ''[Duprée and Conway look confused]'' :'''Jerry''': Lips? :'''The Rock''': How's your lips?; how do you like your lips? You like 'em where they are?, because if you keep running your mouth, the Rock and Mick Foley are gonna slap your lips right off your French faces! And there'll be two sets of lips laying right here, flopping around like fish, and, hold on a second, you're gonna - ''[talking without his lips]'' you're gonna be like that - ''[back to normal]'' and what the Rock is gonna do, the Rock and Mick Foley are gonna pick up your French lips, and make you kiss our American asses! :''[the crowd cheers and starts another "USA" chant]'' :'''Jerry''': JR, this is the greatest - look at the fun these fans are having! :'''Jim''': This is ''Monday Night Raw'', man, everybody's having a great time tonight! :'''The Rock''': And let the Rock tell you one more thing - :'''René''': No, no, no, no, no more "one thing", you listen to me, Rocky! ''[the crowd boos]'' You show us some respect, ''tout de suite''! Because this Sunday at Armageddon, at the Tag Team Turmoil, ''Rocky'', me and my partner Robért Conway are gonna become the new World Tag Team Champions. How do you like that, Rocky? :'''The Rock''': First of all, Frenchy, I am not "Rocky"! The name, is the Rock! And - and here's another thing; oh, the Rock knows about Armageddon, the Rock is excited about Armageddon! Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah! But see, you two, you two candyasses, you're not gonna win the tag team titles, you know why? Number 1: you're French. Number 2: you suck, exactly. :'''Jerry''': French ''and'' they suck! They would probably surrender before the match starts! :'''The Rock''': And here's another thing: you actually had the nerve to say the French army went to Iraq, they would've found weapons of mass destruction, the war would've been over? That what you said? Well, let the Rock explain this, let me, the Ro-Rock explain this: you see, the French army would've went into Iraq, would've went to Russia, China, if the French army would've come right here to Orange County, the exact same thing - the exact same thing would've happened. The French general would've walked right up to the enemy and would've said this: ''[speaking in mock French accent]'' "Oh, we are so sorry! We are so sorry! Oh, don't hurt us, no-no-no-no-no, we so sorry! Oh, we make you crème brûlée! You like to pet our poodle?" :'''Jerry''': Poodle?! :'''The Rock''': See, so you understand, the only thing strong about the French army is their damn body odor. :'''Jim''': Ooh! :'''The Rock''': And I'll tell you what, you run your mouth, you wanna beat up on Mick Foley or try to beat on Mick Foley, two-on-one, well now, live on ''Raw'', you can try and show us how tough you are, two-on-''two''! :'''Jim''': Oh my, here we go! :'''Jerry''': Here we go! :'''Jim''': Now you're talkin'! :'''Mick''': And mark my words, you don't wanna mess with the Sock & Rock Connection! :'''Jerry''': Oh no, no - not ''that'' again, JR! :'''The Rock''': You damn right, you bet your ass - ''[turning to Foley]'' what did you just say? :'''Mick''': The Sock and Rock... :'''The Rock''': No, no, no, no, Mick...thank you, it's the ''Rock'' and Sock Connection! :'''Jerry''': Oh! :''[Duprée and Conway begin attacking the Rock and Foley]'' :'''Jim''': Oh, wait! :'''Jerry''': Look at this! :'''Jim''': La Résistance has heard all the talking! A cheap shot on the Rock! One on Foley! And here we go! :'''Jerry''': These French guys are nuttier than I thought, I can't believe that they're doing this! :''[Duprée and Conway throw the Rock over the top rope]'' :'''Jim''': The Rock thrown over the top rope to the outside, and Mick Foley now trying to fight off two men; La Résistance hammering Mick Foley back to the corner! René...René Duprée and Rob Conway, stomping the hell out of Mick Foley! :'''Jerry''': This is not right! These French are supposed to suck! :''[The Rock comes back into the ring]'' :'''Jim''': Bischoff gave these men permission to assault Foley, and here comes the Rock! :''[The Rock clotheslines Conway, then turns his attention to Duprée]'' :'''Jerry''': Look at this! :'''Jim''' ''[as the Rock chops on Duprée]'' : The Rock, opening up on right hands! ''[The Rock clotheslines Duprée over the top rope]'' The Brahma Bull just beheaded René Dupree! :'''Jerry''' ''[as the Rock then grabs Conway]'': It's vintage Rock! Are you ready? ''[Conway gets hit with the Rock Bottom]'' Rock Bottom! :'''Jim''': The Rock Bottom!

''[Duprée does a little dance in the ring]'' And the arrogant, cocky young Frenchman! :'''Jerry''': Oh, no! :'''Jim''': What a stupid dance! ''[suddenly the Rock kips back up and stands behind Duprée]'' And the Rock is up! :'''Jerry''': Look at this! :'''Jim''' ''[as the Rock goes back on the attack]'' Right hands by the Rock! And Duprée is reeling! :'''Jerry''' ''[as the Rock hits a big right hand in the corner]'': Ohh! :'''Jim''': Another big right hand, by the Brahma Bull! :''[Foley is back up as he then puts Mr. Socko on his right hand]'' :'''Jerry''': I bet the Rock is gonna - :'''Jim''': Oh no! :'''Jerry''': Aahhh! :''[Foley gives Duprée the Mandible Claw with Mr. Socko on his hand]'' :'''Jim''': Socko! Socko! ''[Foley pushes Duprée over to the Rock, who then hits him with a spinebuster]'' That Mandible Claw and the spinebuster slam! :'''Jerry''': Whoa, wait a minute...are we gonna see it here one more time on ''Raw''? :'''Jim''': This huge crowd here in Anaheim - :'''Jerry''': Yes! It's the most electrifying move in all of sports entertainment - ''[The Rock hits the People's Elbow on Duprée]'' - the People's Elbow! :'''Jim''': The People's Elbow found its mark! The Rock & Sock Conne - oh, wait a minute! ''[Conway runs back into the ring, only to be hit with a spinebuster as well]'' Another spinebuster! It's not over yet! :'''Jerry''': These French punks won't quit! ''[Foley is volunteering to the Rock to get the next hit]'' Oh, no, wait a minute! It's Foley's turn! Yeah, go ahead! :'''Jim''': Well, they are the Rock & Sock Connection! Mick Foley... :'''Jerry''' ''[as Foley runs back and forth between the ropes]'': It's the most awkward, unathletic-looking... :''[Foley then hits Mr. Elbow on Conway, down low]'' :'''Jim''': Oh, down there in the nether lands! Mick Foley dropped that elbow, it wasn't artistic, but it was effective! :''[Foley pics the mic back up as Conway rolls back out of the ring in pain; the crowd does a "Rocky" chant]'' :'''Jerry''': This is amazing! :'''Mick''': You two clowns...you two clowns better run...if you smell, la-la-la-la - :''[The Rock snatches the mic from Foley's hand as Lawler is chuckling audibly]'' :'''The Rock''': The Rock's got a lot of love for you, Mick; don't you ''ever'', and the Rock means ''ever'', steal the Rock's catchphrases. :'''Jerry''' ''[as the Rock poses for his catchphrase]'': This is the way you do it right here. It's patented, it's trademark! :'''The Rock''': ...if you smeeellll, la-la-la-la-laowww, what the Rock is cooking! ''[drops the mic]'' :'''Jerry''': Oh, yeah! :'''Jim''' ''[as the Rock and Foley pose for the crowd]'': The Rock and Sock Connection, making their presence felt, on these arrogant and quite unprofessional La Résistance members! :'''Jerry''': Boy, ''Monday Night Raw'' can certainly smell what the Rock is cook - can you believe it, JR? The Rock's on ''Raw''! :'''Jim''': And it's all live, before your very eyes; that's why ''Monday Night Raw'' is the flagship of the WWE! The Rock and Sock Connection, what a reunion tonight! :'''Jerry''': Unbeliev - uh-oh. :''[The Rock picks up Foley's clipboard from the canvas and proceeds to sign the petition before walking out]'' :'''Jim''': And look at the Rock, he's signing that petition... :'''Jerry''': Yes! To bring back Stone Cold Steve Austin! :'''Jim''': The Rock signed the petition to bring back the Texas Rattlesnake! What a moment! :'''Jerry''': What a night! :'''Jim''': And this night is far from over! The Great One, the Rock, the Rock & Sock Connection! The Rock surprised all of us; what a shocker! ===December 15=== :''[Evolution is on the stage with all the championships they won at Armageddon the night prior]'' :'''Triple H''': All along, I promised you that Evolution would change the face of sports entertainment. ''[crowd boos]'' Last night, at Armageddon, Evolution fulfilled that promise! Because in one night, in one clean sweep, we took all the gold. ''[looks at Randy Orton]'' Intercontinental Champion, ''[looks at Ric Flair and Batista]'' World Tag Team Champions, and World Heavyweight Champion. ''[raises World Heavyweight Championship]'' And Goldberg, all your fans, they all wanted to believe the hype. But let me explain to you like this: I'm Triple H, I am The Game, and with me, ''[laughs]'' with me, there is no hype necessary. Tonight, everybody learns to live under Evolution's golden rule. And that is, we have all the gold, so we make all the rules. ''[Evolution raises their respective championships]'' ==2004== ===February 16=== :'''Stone Cold Steve Austin''': It turns out Eric Bischoff made a decision regarding the World title at WrestleMania, but I guess, uh, he was too afraid to come out here and tell you to your face because maybe he might piss you off. But since I don't give a rat's ass what you think, I'll come out here and make the announcement myself. So for the first time in history, the World Heavyweight Championship will be decided at WrestleMania, Madison Square Garden, March 14, in a Triple Threat match. :'''Jerry Lawler''': What?! What?! :'''Jim Ross''': Oh my god! :'''Austin''': Triple H versus Chris Benoit versus Shawn Michaels. And that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so! ===February 23=== :''[Vince McMahon is choking Eric Bischoff outside the ring as Stone Cold Steve Austin watches]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Hey wait, what the hell?! :'''Jerry Lawler''': What? ''[Brock Lesnar is in the ring standing behind Austin]'' Oh my god! :'''Ross''': My god it's, it's Brock Lesnar! :'''Lawler''': Austin! Look behind you! :'''Ross''': ''[Lesnar lifts Austin up on his shoulders]'' Stone Cold up! :'''Lawler''': Oh! :'''Ross''': Lesnar! ''[Lesnar delivers an F5 to Austin]'' Brock Lesnar from ''SmackDown!'' just F5'd the hell out of Stone Cold! Lesnar's got no business being here! This is not ''SmackDown!'', this is ''Raw''! :'''Lawler''': What the?! I cannot believe this! Brock Lesnar F5'd Stone Cold Steve Austin! What does this mean?! :'''Ross''': What the hell is going on?! What is Lesnar doing here?! Brock Lesnar, from behind! It's Lesnar standing over Austin! My god what has, what has happened here?! What has happened here??! ===May 24=== :''[Eric Bischoff has had enough of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, who are being restrained by other wrestlers from mauling each other in the ring]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': That is it, that is enough! Triple H, Shawn Michaels...at Bad Blood, it is going to be has a.. ''[Triple H breaks out and attacks Shawn and the wrestlers still push to stop them]'' :'''Jerry Lawler''': Well. look out! He's loose! :'''Jim Ross''': Triple H breaking loose before Bischoff had to finish what he was gonna say. :'''Lawler''': Triple H is a man of his word. He said he's gonna destroy Michaels here tonight, he'll do it! :'''Bischoff''': ENOUGH!! ''[everybody stops]'' At Bad Blood, it will be Triple H versus Shawn Michaels... HELL... IN A CELL!!! :'''Lawler''': Oh boy! :'''Ross''': Oh my God, oh my- that's what Michaels wanted! Hell in a Cell!! ===June 14=== :''[Jim Ross brings together HHH and Shawn Michaels after their Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Gentlemen, I, along with all these fans here, totally understand the physical condition that you're in. I hope that you will totally conduct yourself in the spirit of why you were asked to be here. I must say that in 30 years of broadcasting this great game that your match last night at the Hell in a Cell will live for generations to come. But Shawn, Triple H, it's time for this to end. I am respectfully, respectfully asking you two men to shake hands, to officially signify the end of the most storified rivalry in the WWE so that you may both get on with your lives. :'''Jerry Lawler''': ''[on commentary as HHH and Shawn get closer and JR distances]'' I don't know... that don't look good on paper, I don't think thats gonna... So much history, so much hatred between these two men, who one time were best friends, closer than brothers. I wonder who's gonna extend their hand first, I think Shawn ''[Shawn reaches out]'' You think this should happen ''[HHH moves to shake hands but Eric Bischoff's theme plays and he steps out]'' == 2005 == === February 21 === :'''Triple H''': Can you believe this? :'''Ric Flair''': No. :'''Triple H''': It's supposed to be the biggest night in Batista's career. It's supposed to be the biggest night in the history of Evolution, Ric. This is the first night, this is where it all happens. You and I are gonna run this business, and it all starts tonight. After everything we've done for him, and tonight of all nights, he has the guts to be over two hours late? :'''Ric''': Champ, you have bent over backwards for him! You created Batista! You made him! You put him in a position to make a huge amount of impact on this industry! You did it! :'''Triple H''': I've done more than you even know. :'''Ric''': You have? :'''Triple H''': Yeah. :'''Ric''': Like what? Stuff I don't know? :'''Triple H''': You know how hard it is to get footage from ''SmackDown!'' of JBL and Big Show, and get it put into ''Raw''? It's not easy. And do you know how hard it is to find a white limousine and get those ''stupid'' big horns put on the front to make Dave think that JBL was trying to run him over? :'''Ric''': Wait, wait, wait, wait, ''you'' orchestrated that last week, the limousine almost running over Dave? :'''Triple H''': Hey, relax, relax, hold on. Now, it's not like I was trying to have him killed. I was just trying to light a fire under him, for his own good. Listen, sometimes, Dave is not smart enough to know what's good for him. Just trying to ensure that he made the right decision tonight ''[Ric's jaw drops]'' and went to ''SmackDown!''. :'''Ric''': Oh...my...God, there have been times when I thought you were a genius, I've even told people you were a genius, but now, I know you're a genius! God, that's the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life! You know that?! Oh my God, WOO! WOO! No wonder they call you the Cerebral Assassin! Champ, that's the greatest move I've ever seen, and I've been around a long time. :'''Triple H''': Ric! Yeah, it's a great plan, but it's all for nothing if the big idiot gets here tonight and decides to be selfish and stay on ''Raw''. Batista needs to do what's right for Evolution. What's right for Evolution is right for Batista, and what's right for Batista is for him to go to ''SmackDown!''. ''[Camera begins pulling back]'' Now, when he gets here, we need to make sure... :'''Ric''': You are clever beyond the word "clever." You are a gen... You may be the most intelligent human being I've ever met in my life. :''[As Ric speaks, it is revealed that Batista has been listening outside the door]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Eric Bischoff''': Batista, before you...you make any decisions, there's a couple things I want to say. By signing this contract, two things are going to happen. First and foremost, you remain with ''Raw'', the flagship program, the #1 brand in all of sports entertainments, and the brand that made you a superstar. ''Raw'' is a brand that'll give your career stability, because unlike ''other'' general managers ''[looks at Theodore Long]'', my job is not in jeopardy. But more importantly, by signing this contract, it means that you'll face Triple H one-on-one for the Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania! It's the dream of every superstar in our business, to face Triple H, a man who is arguably one of the biggest names in the history of our industry. A man that, even the Nature Boy, he says it best. Ric Flair says it best: to be the man, you gotta beat that man, Triple H! ''[Triple H shakes his head at Batista]'' And this is your opportunity. So Batista, this isn't really a question. It's a simple thing. Sign the contract, reach your dreams. :'''Theodore Long''': Whoa, whoa, whoa, just a minute. Just a minute. Now, Batista, actually, there is a choice. Now, you can sign ''this'' contract and come to ''SmackDown!''. Now, we all... You can't tell me that you didn't feel the electricity when you walked out on No Way Out last night. Now, we all saw what you could do to the WWE Champion, JBL. We also saw the magic when you stared John Cena in the eye. :Now think about this, Batista. John Cena, Batista, the two hottest commodities in the WWE on the same show. In fact, you two could start your own rivalry. It could be the biggest rivalry since Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Now, not only is it JBL and John Cena waiting for you at ''SmackDown!'', it's Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle. And think about this: one day, it could be Batista one-on-one with the Undertaker! :But you know something, player? In order for this to happen, you have to sign ''this'' contract. Now, you beat JBL, you beat John Cena in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 21, and I assure you that your career will blow up on ''SmackDown!''. Now, it's time for you to make that decision, player. :''[Theodore hands the contract to Batista, who now holds both. He grabs the pen on the ''SmackDown!'' contract]'' :'''Triple H''': Dave, this shouldn't be a very difficult decision for you, 'cause there's really only one person that you need to listen to. See, because it's not ''[looks at Eric]'' what's best for ''Raw'', ''[turns to Theodore]'' and it's not about what's best for ''SmackDown!''. It's about one thing, big man. It's about what's best for you. It's about what's best for Batista, man. And I don't want you to worry about Ric and myself, 'cause hey, what's best for Batista will be best for Evolution. :I want you to picture something, Dave. Imagine this. It's WrestleMania 21, it's all said and done, and I'm standing in the middle of this ring ''still'' the World Heavyweight Champion, and standing right next to me is the new WWE Champion, Batista. Think about it, Dave. We would rule the world. We would answer to no one, man. Everything we ever dreamed of. You know how big that is? :Think about it like this. It's 1986, the Four Horsemen are running wild, Ric Flair is the NWA Champion! But what if...what if Arn Anderson were the WWE Champion, huh? They would've been unstoppable. But it never happened. :Think about it like this. DX in our prime, on top of our game, Shawn Michaels is the WWE Champion! What if I had been the WCW Champion? We could have written history. You see that, Dave? But it never happened. You and I, you and I have an opportunity to make history, and we owe it to ourselves to do it. :Now, Dave, I don't want you to be concerned about Bradshaw, I don't want you to be concerned about Cena, because I know deep inside of my heart, you could beat both those guys at the same time like that. You see, Dave, we have an opportunity to do the greatest thing that has ever been done in this industry. We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to the world, you and I, to walk that aisle with the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, side-by-side, owning this business. :Doesn't seem like a difficult decision to me at all, Dave. It really doesn't. And I've got a feeling...you know what you want to do, big man. Don't you? You know what you want to do. :'''Batista''': Hunter, I've known what I was gonna do for a long time. :''[Batista looks at the contracts and throws the ''Raw'' contract to the ground. Eric lowers his head in sadness. Triple H and Ric cheer Batista, giving him thumbs up. Batista gives one right back, then slowly turns it down. He attacks both, tossing Ric out of the ring]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Ooh, Batista! :'''Jerry''': What is he doing?! :'''Jim Ross''': My god, Batista, the thumbs-down to the world's champion! Evolution's Animal! :'''Jerry''' He almost took Triple H's head off, and he's dumped Naitch out of the ring! Wait a minute! ''[Batista sets Triple H up...]'' Wait a minute, Batista, what are you doing?! If you do this, there's no turning back! No! :''[Batista powerbombs Triple H through the table]'' :'''Jim Ross''': Oh my God Almighty! What a big powerbomb through the table! The world's champion through the table! :''[Batista picks up the ''Raw'' contract and signs it over Triple H's prone body]'' :'''Batista''': Hunter, I'm staying right here on ''Raw'', and at WrestleMania, I'm taking the World Championship... ''[tosses contract clipboard at HHH]'' from you! :'''Jim Ross''': Well, the deal is done. The untamed spirit of the animal known as Batista has made his decision. Batista will stay on ''Raw'', and Batista will go to WrestleMania 21. And if the deal is set and granted, Batista will come for the world's title against The Game, and it's gonna happen at WrestleMania 21. === February 28 === :'''Chris Jericho''': I came out here with an agenda tonight, to make a statement. And the reason is that WrestleMania 21 is less than five weeks away. We've already announced some of the biggest matches in Mania history. From Batista vs. Triple H for the World Championship, from Cena to JBL for the WWE Championship, Michaels has challenged Angle, Hogan's in the Hall of Fame, Stone Cold Steve Austin on ''Piper's Pit''. Everybody wants to make an impact, so do I; everybody wants to be a part of history, so do I. I have an idea for a match to do that. {{W|Money in the Bank ladder match|It's a match that involves Y2J, five other elite WWE Superstars, a chance of a lifetime, and most importantly, one very big solid steel ladder.}} === May 16 === :''[Jonathan Coachman and Eric Bischoff have just shut down Chris Benoit and Tajiri's ECW Rules match]'' :'''Jonathan Coachman''': Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it! Stop this match right now! General Manager Eric Bischoff has been informed about what's going on out here. So the Coach would suggest that you climb down off that ladder, Chris Benoit, and listen up. :''[Eric Bischoff's music hits and Eric Bischoff shows up]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': Thank you, Coach. I wish I would've listened to you a little earlier because apparently, you two arranged for this match while I was busy attending other matters. Well, Benoit, you can get down off that ladder because I am officially ending this match right now! ''[audience boos]'' Look! Look! I never sanctioned any ECW match and I never would because ECW is pure garbage. As a matter of fact, from this moment on, I am banning ECW from ''Raw''. Oh, listen up! It will not be chanted in the building. It will not be discussed in the locker room. And then, if I see one ECW sign in my building, I will have it confiscated! And to make my point, I'm going to prohibit anybody from the Raw roster from participating at ECW's One Night Stand. Hell, I am going to ban the letters ECW from ''Raw''. And let me be perfectly clear, the only participation Raw is going to have at ECW's One Night Stand is when I personally show up with my volunteered group of Raw superstars and put an end to ECW once and for all. ===May 23=== :'''Jim Ross''': We're back here live at Green Bay on Monday Night RAW, the ECW Funeral. :'''Jerry Lawler''': Take it off. Take your hat off, JR, it's a funeral, for Chrissakes! === August 8 === :'''Jim Ross''': What do you think about Mr. McMahon rehiring Matt Hardy? :'''Edge''': JR, what do I think about Vince McMahon's decision, Mr. McMahon's decision to rehire Matt Hardy? You know what? I think it's genius. Yeah. It's a moneymaking match. Here's a little known fact, though. You see, I actually went to Vince and I asked him to rehire Matt. Yeah. You see, because, with what I want to do to Matt Hardy, if I did that on the streets, what I'm gonna do at SummerSlam, I'd be in jail. You see, at SummerSlam, you're gonna witness legalized assault. Which is why I resent us being sequestered into this dressing room. You know, Matt Hardy has been re-signed to ''Raw'' and the lunatic is running around. Well, ''he's'' the one out of control, not me. But that's fine, that's cool, and Eric Bischoff wants to put security guards on the door, to protect us. We don't need the protection, he does! So I'm gonna ask them to leave, I want them to go. Yeah. I want them to get out of here, because Matt, I'm begging, I'm PLEADING, I want you to come in here. Come into the dressing room, come on BARGING in. Because you know what'll happen? You'll probably ''[mockingly]'' break down and have yourself a little cry, won't you Matt? :You see, I saw your promo last week, Matt, and I think it was PATHETIC! It was absolutely pathetic, after all the months of dragging our names through the mud, our personal lives out there for everyone to see, AND THAT'S ALL YOU CAN MUSTER UP FROM YOUR STOMACH, FROM YOUR GUTS?! Well, my hands are shaking and it's from hate, it's from real emotion, Matt! ''[Points at his eyes]'' This is passion, this is intensity! This is real! :I see why Lita left you for me. You know, you said last week you wanted me to get into a car accident. You see, for me, it's the opposite. I want you to be nice and safe, Matt. You get in the car and you strap that seat belt in tight. I want you 100%. Because at SummerSlam, I'm going to prove that you don't measure up to me as a man to me in any way. In any way. You whined and complained, and you bitched and moaned last week saying Lita was the girl of your dreams. You wanted to marry her. Matt, you were with her for six years but you never proposed. So let me fill in the blanks here, I figured it out. You see, nobody comes before Matt Hardy and his "wrestling legacy." I heard you say it! Nothing comes before V1. :So with that being said, Matt, you should thank me. It sounds strange, but you should thank me. You see, you've never gotten reactions like this before in your career. You're in the main event picture now, and why? Why? Because you're riding my coattails in. Yeah. You see, when you were defending the Cruiserweight Championship, running around with your little MFers, me, I was fighting Kurt Angle. Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, I EARNED MY MAIN EVENT STRIPES! I deserve to be where I am. And why are you here? Because your girlfriend fell in love with a main eventer. Yeah. So Matt Hardy, the main event spotlight, it's shining on ya! Your 15 minutes in the spotlight, it's shining on ya, and I know it feels good. Well, we're 13 minutes into it and time is slowly ticking away. And at SummerSlam, Matt, I end it. Now I know that cuts close to the bone, I know it does, and I know it hurts. The truth usually does. === October 10 === :''[Everybody in the locker room gives Triple H the cold stare over turning on Ric Flair the week before, and he chances upon John Cena]'' :'''John Cena''': I don't know you, I ain't gonna judge you, but after last week, you lost some respect. :'''Triple H''': ''[tries to walk away but gets back to Cena]'' You know, if I were you, the last thing I'd want to do is get my attention, you know what I mean? :'''John Cena''': You know me. You want some? ''[taps WWE Championship]'' Come get some! :'''Triple H''': Don't you worry. When I want some, ''[angrily points to title]'' I'll take it! ''[leaves]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Linda McMahon appears after Vince and Stephanie fail to force JR to apologize over supporting Steve Austin as he Stunnered the McMahons the week before at Raw's USA Network return]'' :'''Linda McMahon''': ''[rebuffing Vince's assurance that they got the situation under control]'' Well, Vince as your devoted wife and Stephanie, as your mother, I just simply cannot let the two of you continue this way. Last week, when we returned to USA Network, it was a wonderful opportunity for a new beginning for the entire McMahon family. It was a chance for a clean slate. The only way to garner respect from people is not, Vince, by yelling and screaming, or Steph, by pitching a fit. It's by taking action. ''[to JR]'' So, JR, on behalf of the entire ''[looks at Vince and Stephanie]'' McMahon family... ''[long pause] YOU'RE FIRED!! [gives JR a low blow as Vince and Stephanie gleefully mock him bawled over]'' === November 14 === :'''Vince McMahon''': Eddie Guerrero has passed away. Eddie was in the prime of his life, 38 years old, the prime of his career. So tonight, we celebrate the life of Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero loved this business. He loved it, he had a passion for it like no one else. Eddie loved to perform more than anything else, whether he was booed or whether he was cheered, he loved to perform for all of you. Eddie's goal every night, Eddie's goal every night was to steal the show. So tonight there's no doubt in anyone's mind that Eddie would want the show to go on and, so it shall tonight as we pay tribute to the memory of Eddie Guerrero. At this time, I would ask you all to stand in silence as we toll the bell 10 times, after which, there'll be a special video presentation. So if you would all please stand. Thank you. <hr width=50%> :'''Shawn Michaels''': My memories of Eddie Guerrero have nothing to do with wrestling, nothing to do with the ring, because I never wrestled the man. It's all about faith. Eddie and I had a lot of wonderful talks about our faith, we were both born-again Christians, and the one thing I do know, we are assured of, that Eddie's last breath here was his first breath in eternity; and Eddie Guerrero and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will someday get to wrestle in what is the very biggest stage of them all and it isn't WrestleMania, it is in the heavenlies in front of a crowd of one, and that is the lord of lords and the king of kings, Jesus Christ. And I want to thank Eddie Guerrero for always being there to be able to share that common faith with and to let him know that he did something that nobody has ever been able to do in the history of this business, and that is bring everybody in the WWE, from the top man to the bottom guy, bring them all together in prayer in the name of Jesus, and Eddie Guerrero left his last and greatest witness here with us today. And Eddie, I want to say God bless you and I will see you again, my friend. == 2006 == === May 1 === :''[After Jerry "The King" Lawler humiliates Joey Styles on Raw]'' :'''Jerry''': Let me just say this: uh, during the break, I apologized to the fans here; right now, I wanna take this opportunity to apologize to you, Joey Styles, my fault, just trying to have a little fun, it got out of hand! I'm sorry, come back out and let's finish the rest of this show. My bad. Come on, Joey. ''[the crowd cheers]'' Come on, Joey! Come on back out here! ''[as Joey marches back out into the arena]'' Come on. :''[Joey stands on the ramp and does not return to the desk]'' :'''Joey''': You want to apologize? Like nothing happened. Like you didn't knock me on my ass in front of millions of people worldwide, and I'm gonna come down there and work with you? I'm not coming back, and now, thanks to the magic of live television, I’m gonna show the whole world why for seven years in ECW, I was the unscripted, uncensored, loose cannon of commentary! Six months ago, WWE called ''me''! I didn’t call this company because I was looking for a job. I didn’t need a job. WWE called ''me'', because they had humiliated and fired, ''again,'' Jim Ross. So I get JR’s spot, and from WEEK ONE, week after week, I've got an ongoing lecture about the differences in professional wrestling and sports entertainment. I'm not allowed to say "pro wrestling", I'm not allowed to say "wrestler"; I have to say "sports entertainment", and refer to the wrestlers as "superstars". I'm told to deliberately ignore the moves and the holds during the matches so I can tell stories. Well, ignoring the moves and the holds is damn insulting to the athletes, the ''wrestlers'', not the entertainers, who leave their families 300 days a year to ply their craft in that ring! Here’s the best part. Because I’m not a sports entertainment storyteller, I get pulled from WrestleMania, and the reason I’m given is, is because I don’t sound like Jim Ross, who’s the guy they fired in the first place, that makes sense, right? So I swallow the bitter pill, I’m a company guy. I get bumped from WrestleMania. Then I get bumped...from Backlash? I'm not good enough to call ''Backlash''?! In ECW, I called live pay-per-views on my own, solo, no color commentators dragging me down. Wasn't done before me, hasn't been done since! But I'm not good enough to call Backlash because I’m not a sports entertainment storyteller. Well, you know what? I am sick of sports entertainment. I am sick of male cheerleaders! I am sick of boogers and bathroom humor and semen, and I am sick of our chairman, who likes to talk about his own semen, he mocks God - he mocks ''God''! - and makes out the divas all to feed his own insatiable ego. I am SICK of sports entertainment, and most of all, I'm sick of you fans who actually buy into that crap! This sports entertainment circus! ''[the crowd boos]'' I never needed this job, and I don’t want this job anymore. ''[takes the collar bearing the WWE logo off the microphone and throws it aside]'' I quit! ''[walks out]'' :'''Jerry''' ''[putting his headset back on]'': You know...we brought Joey Styles up from the gutter and it looks like he just got homesick; maybe Joey Styles will feel more at home in a bingo hall, kissing Paul Heyman's ass! Idiot. === July 17 === :'''Mick Foley''': Hello out there to all my fans right there in San Antonio, Texas! It's me Mick Foley in the WWE Studios and I know what a lot of you are thinking. You're thinking, "Isn't that the shirt Mick wore when he was interviewed by Katie Couric on Halloween a few years ago?" You're darn right it is, but I'm not here to talk about Katie Couric right now, or the beautiful Melina for that matter. I'm here to talk about the Nature Boy - Whooo! - Ric Flair and comments he made about me. You see, Ric was on the show last Monday actually bragging about beating me two straight falls in a two out of three falls match. You see Ric, I have a different take on things, you see I seem to remember you bludgeoned, bloody with your family in tears, which begs the question: Just what world do you inhabit Ric, where all those things can be construed as a positive!? How much worse could it have possibly have gotten!? Are you really under the impression I was trying to win the match? Because if I had been, I would have! The barbed wired bat under the ring was no accident, Ric. From the very get-go, I intended to leave you laying, and that is exactly what I did. And you're out there saying Mick Foley posing a challenge, anywhere, anyplace any match of your choosing. Well let me see... uh... I don't want to wrestle you anywhere, anyplace, in any type of match ever! What part of "no rematch" do you not understand? Let me put it in the words of a famous song: A no, no, no, no, a no, no, no, no, a no, no, no, ''No rematch Ric!'' Yeah! <hr width=50%/> :'''Mick Foley''': Hello everybody, it's Mick Foley again in the WWE Studios and since we're live and since nobody can really stop me, I thought I'd give a shout out to my good friend Melina. Great match on Monday, I was really proud of you. But I'm really not here to talk about a Monday match, I'm here to talk about Ric Flair's hardcore match with the Big Show on ''ECW''. And Ric, I was impressed. I mean you got down, you got dirty, you got hardcore! You broke out the barb wire bat! You used thumbtacks, laying in a pile of them and as it turns out, you did it all in vain, Ric. Because no matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter how badly you wish I could grow something you could check out first hand, you get no rematch! See, three things happened at Vengeance Ric, I came, I saw, I kicked your old ass! And I have nothing left to prove to you! Now if you really want to me like Mick Foley, don't stop with the barb wire and thumbtacks. Wear a flannel on TV next week, drive a used mini-van, and sit in seat 26C next to the crapper! Or repeat after me as a paraphrase and old Michael Jackson song: He's out of my life, damned indecision and cursed pride. And it cuts like a knife, ''you're out of my life! You washed-up piece of crap!'' Yeah! === July 24 === :'''Mick Foley''': What has become of Ric Flair? You see I'm in a state of disbelief because I watched ''Raw'' last Monday and found it hard to believe that Ric Flair resorted to calling me "Fat Boy". Fat Boy, a name so effective he chose to use it twice and I have to admit the name hurt. Yeah, the name "Fat Boy" hurt when my brother used it on me 30 years ago. What has become of Ric Flair? You see it hurts me worse than anything just to see Ric Flair proving to the world, one of the all time great performers in our business, proving to the world that he had the creativity, the originality and the intellect of the average fourth grader. What has become of Ric Flair!? You see I thought I was going on a journey to meet the Great and Powerful Oz! And it turns out instead I see a weak and feeble man operating behind a curtain, digging into a bag of cliches because he's got nothing left to offer! "To be the man, you've got to beat the man!" "I'm a 16-time world champion!" "All night long!" blah blah blah. ''You make me sick Ric!'' What has become of you!? You've reduced yourself to being a second-rate circus side show, falling on thumbtacks on an ECW show, all in vain attempt to lure me back into the ring! It's not gonna work! What part of "no" did you not understand? I won't fight you here, there, or anywhere. What has become of you Ric Flair!? Because now not only are you a second-rate freak show, but you've resorted to attacking innocent, beautiful defenseless women. And even worse, Ric Flair, the woman you chose to attack was a friend of mine! Which means I'll be coming to New Jersey, Ric Flair, but I won't be coming to wrestle, but I will be coming to look you in the ring face to face and air our differences in a very public venue. And I swear to your Ric, you leave the cliches at home and you bring your heart and your mind or I will swat you away and embarrass you in front on national TV, you washed-up piece of crap! I'll see you next Monday on ''Raw''! Yeah! === August 21 === :''[The McMahons' limo has been stopped by a chain severing its rear axle and Vince and Shane are livid at the driver. Vince looks at the side of the limo...]'' :'''Jerry Lawler''': ''[reacts as the camera shows DX spray-painted on the side]'' Uh oh... :'''Jim Ross''': Oh God... :'''Vince McMahon''': ''[violently kicks the car and screams]'' Dammit!! ''[holds his right ear as he screams and cries in anguish; Shane tries to comfort him as he breaks down]'' :'''Lawler''': I think it's happened. I think DX has broken Mr. McMahon! === October 9 === :''[Edge and Lita are in the ring for The Cutting Edge, having just invited Randy Orton on the show]'' :'''Edge''': Randy, thanks for - thanks for coming on the show, and...I'll get straight to the point. See, you've impressed me. You impressed me in 2004 when you became the youngest champion in WWE history. But, but since then, you've done absolutely nothing. :'''Randy''' ''[standing up from his seat, shocked]'': Excuse me? :'''Edge''' ''[stammering]'': Don't get me wrong, you've been involved in some huge matches: last year at WrestleMania against the Undertaker. This year at WrestleMania, Rey Mysterio, SummerSlam, Hulk Hogan, but...the thing is, you lost all those matches. You see, for two years straight, you have consistently dropped the ball. :'''Randy''': You got two seconds to come up with a point...or I'm gonna drop you right now. :'''Jerry "The King" Lawler''': I knew it. :'''Edge''': Okay. Okay. Okay, Randy, I have a point: you see, every - every misstep, every bump in the road since you became champion, it-it can be traced back to one single, solitary moment. Do you remember?, because if you don't, I'm gonna remind you right now. ''[pointing at the Titantron]'' Roll the footage. ''[footage shown of Orton in 2004 celebrating his World Heavyweight Championship, only for Triple H and the rest of Evolution to turn on him as Triple H starts attacking him]'' Do you remember that, Randy? Do you remember, you were on top of the world, you had it ALL!...but Triple H's selfishness cost you everything, ''everything''! I know you tried to pull it all back together, but let's face it, the facts are the facts! So you're probably asking yourself why, why would I care? And normally, I wouldn't. But these things have a, a tendency to repeat themselves. Jealousy rears its ugly head again, because, just last week, there was another travesty of justice. So once again, ''[gesturing to the Titantron]'' let's roll the footage. ''[footage from the previous week on Raw when D-Generation X interfered in Edge's steel cage match against John Cena for the WWE Championship, with Shawn Michaels' Sweet Chin Music to Trevor Murdoch, causing Murdoch to inadvertently slam the cage door on Edge's head, being the main turning point]'' Shawn Michaels cost me the WWE Championship! The same man who, who taught Triple H every self-serving, power-hungry move he's ever known! And-and what did DX do when they came out here earlier? They...they made some cute little jokes. Because Randy, they think I'm a joke, they think ''you're'' a joke. And they're gonna continue to do that, until someone takes a stand. You see, Randy, I know you're not a joke, and I'm not a joke. The reason I called you out here tonight...is because I think those people that should take a stand...I think it's you, and me. We should own this show! We should have all the championships! We are the present and future of this industry, not some tired old act from a decade ago! So I tell you what, Randy, it's really simple: you can get mad at the things, the-the ''true'' things I said earlier and, you can fight me right now...or...you can join me. Join me and together we can take a stand against DX. We can beat DX! Take back our championships! Take back our lives, our ''careers''! So the ball's in your court. It's up to you. :''[the crowd starts an "RKO" chant, much to Edge's chagrin]'' :'''Randy''': DX...as far as you running this show anymore is concerned, I've got two words for ya: it's over! ''[shakes Edge's hand and the two grin at one another]'' == 2007 == === June 25 === :'''Vince McMahon''': Good evening. Tonight, this arena here in Corpus Christi, Texas, was to have been filled to capacity with enthusiastic WWE fans. Tonight’s storyline was to have been the alleged demise of my character, Mr. McMahon. However, in reality, WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their son Daniel, are dead. Their bodies were discovered this afternoon in their new, suburban Atlanta home. The authorities are undergoing an investigation. We here in the WWE can only offer our condolences to the extended family of Chris Benoit, and the only other thing we can do at this moment is, tonight, pay tribute to Chris Benoit. We will offer you some of the most memorable moments in Chris’ professional life, and you will hear, tonight, comments from his peers; those here – his fellow performers – those here who loved Chris and admired him so much. So tonight will be a three-hour tribute to one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. Tonight will be a tribute to Chris Benoit. <hr width=50%> :'''Edge''': ''[Referring to Chris Benoit's death]'' It's really confusing. I don't understand things like this, and I don't know if I ever will. === November 5 === :'''Triple H''': What the hell ''was'' all that? :'''Shawn''': I gotta be honest with you. I mean, I feel like I'm getting a little old for this. I don't know who writes this garbage, but this is the worst debacle since that whole Katie Vick years ago. :'''Triple H''': You got a good point. But the thing is, I don't think ''anybody'' writes this crap—[[w:2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike|they're on strike]]. ''[The crowd cheers]'' But we're not! == 2008 == ===March 31 === :'''"Nature Boy" Ric Flair''': WOOOO! Last night, I wrestled my very last match at [[w:WrestleMania XXIV|WrestleMania]]. I will never, ever, wrestle in this ring again. ''[The crowd boos this]'' Please... please... I... I... I'm not sad about not wrestling. You shouldn't be sad about the fact that you're not gonna see me out here. You should rejoice in the fact that I HAVE HAD THE GREATEST WRESTLING CAREER IN THE HISTORY OF PRO WRESTLING! ''[The crowd erupts at this]'' And last night, even though I lost, I lost to a great, great, great wrestler and a better man! ''[The crowd boos at mention of Shawn Michaels]'' It's true... Rejoice in the fact that I have wrestled in front of more fans, raised more hell, had more fun, and loved all of you every day of my life! I swear to God! I've been teared up all day long with the thought of not being able to come out here anymore, but I'm off! I'm off, and I'm in a good place, and I love you! ''[As he speaks, "Thank you, Ric" chants start within the crowd]'' Please... Let me say to you, I wanna thank you for the memories, thank you for the support, and most of all, thank you all for making me who I am today. WOOOO! WOOOO! WOOOO! ''[begins to leave, until he is cut off by the music and arrival of Triple H]'' :'''Triple H''': Ric, if you think these people here in Orlando are the only ones that want to say thank you, if you think that the millions of people watching on TV are the only ones that want to say thank you... well then, my friend, you've got another thing coming. ''[embraces Flair]'' Because I just... I had to come out here and I had to tell you something from the bottom of my heart... I love you, man. ''[shakes Flair's hand]'' And thank you. Thank ''you''. ''[bows down to Flair and then embraces him again]'' Now, that takes care of me, but there are a few other people that wanted to say thank you too, and... there's one group of guys I started talking to earlier today, and it's the craziest thing, 'cause ever since I talked to them, my hand's been cramping up like this... ''[Makes a familiar sign; Flair smiles, knowing what this means. The sound of horses' hooves and whinnying only serve to confirm the obvious, as out come:]'' TULLY BLANCHARD! J.J. DILLON! ARN ANDERSON! BARRY WINDHAM! THE FOUR HORSEMEN! :'''Jim Ross''': ''[As the aforementioned Horsemen enter the ring and embrace Flair]'' This will be the first time the Horsemen have been together since 1988. All four of them in the ring. ''[No further commentary is uttered.]'' :'''Triple H''': ''[As he introduces each of the next seven individuals, that individual enters the ring to pay his respects to Flair]'' The Animal... and the [[w:Evolution (professional wrestling)|Evolution]], Ric, of Batista... Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat... The seven-time [[w:NWA World Heavyweight Championship|World Champion]], Harley Race... Greg "The Hammer" Valentine... Another Horseman, Dean Malenko... Y2J, Chris Jericho... John Cena! ''[After Cena has paid his respects, "[[w:Angels & Devils (Fuel album)|Leave The Memories Alone]]" by [[w:Fuel (band)|Fuel]] plays as:]'' Ric, here comes your family.

''[By this time, Flair is completely in tears as his wife and children enter the ring and embrace the Nature Boy. After the crowd reacts, they falls silent as Shawn Michaels, still clearly upset over retiring Flair the previous night, enters the ring. The two make up and embrace]'' Ric... First of all, I've gotta say: those are sweet watches. ''[pointing out the gold watches both Flair and Michaels are wearing]'' Those match; those are cool. Anyway... ''[laughs and taps the microphone]'' Is this still on? OK, that is... anyway, we could keep this going on all night because there's just so many people. But I'll tell you what: Anybody left that wants to come out here and say thank you to Ric Flair, come on out! ''["[[w:...To Be Loved|...To Be Loved]]" by [[w:Papa Roach|Papa Roach]], then the'' Raw ''theme, plays as the locker room empties, line up on the ramp and chant "Thank you, Ric" with the audience]'' === June 9 === :'''Chris Jericho''': Yes, I do have a question, I'm gonna get to that. But first I wanna make a little observation. I mean, like we just heard, obviously our fans, they love you no matter what it is you do. ''[to the cheering fans]'' No matter what, right? Case in point, you feigned a knee injury for almost a month, you blatantly lied about it to me, you lied to Batista... :'''"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels''': Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now that might be splitting hairs here, but I was very clear about the fact that I was gonna do whatever it took to win...and I did that. I didn't lie to Batista, I didn't lie to the people. Technically, the only person I lied to was...you. :'''Jericho''': All right, fair enough, I'll...I'll take that. Touche. Regardless of all that, when you finally admitted the truth and super-kicked me right in the face, you got cheered more than ever. I mean, it's... ''[off the cheers]'' see? I mean, I'm adored by the fans as well, but not even I could get away with that one. And when I pointed out your fabrication of the truth, suddenly I got booed. ''[The crowd boos]'' See? You pull a fast one on 'em and they adore you, and yet whenever I try to do the right thing, whether it be tell the truth or not hit you with a chair, not hit JBL with a chair, I got booed. You know. It seems like our fans, even the ones here, would rather boo an honest man and cheer for you. I mean, it doesn't take much to get them to start chanting, "HBK!" You know, it's...HBK, HBK! :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' HBK! :'''Jericho''': So that brings us to my question, and my question is this. How does Shawn Michaels, HBK, one of the greatest performers of all time and one of the most highly-decorated superstars in the history of this business, turn into such a lying, cheating, pathetic little worm of a human being? == 2010 == === January 11 === :'''[[w:The Miz|The Miz]]''': ''[outside the WWE Superstars Locker Room]'' When I first came to World Wrestling Entertainment, not a single person respected me. Not anyone out in the WWE universe, and not anyone in the WWE locker room. Everybody wanted to get rid of me. Nobody could stand me! They made my life a living hell. As a matter of fact, in this very locker room I got kicked out for eating a piece of chicken over a referee’s bag and spilling some crumbs. :''[Walks away]'' For 6 months, 6 months, I was banned from the WWE locker room. I would have to find a place to change, a place to shower, a place to use the restroom. I walked down these halls and see superstars like JBL. And everyday that JBL saw me, he would sarcastically say, "Miz, I look forward to your amazing work! Miz, you are a gift from God, Miz!" :Everybody berated me. Everybody ridiculed me. Everybody wanted me to quit. But all that negativity, I used as fuel to ignite a wrath against everyone in the WWE to become the star I am today. Now I don't even ''go'' in that locker room because I have a private dressing room just for me. ''That'' locker room is for the Evan Bournes and the MVPs. ''[He is now on the arena floor]'' The same MVP that is the #1 contender for the United States Championship. So congratulations, MVP. You have earned the right to join a long list of people to get publicly humiliated by me. :MVP doesn't even deserve to be in the same ring as me. ''[He is now in the ring]'' If it was up to me, MVP would still be in jail. I don't believe in second chances, because I have been perfect my entire life. Yet you mistakes all still boo me and cheer him. Well, go ahead, boo me, cheer MVP, I don't care. I'd rather you all hate me for everything I am, than love me for something I'm not! I am the reason you people watch ''Monday Night Raw'', not MVP! I am the most captivating and entertaining superstar on this brand, not MVP! :MVP comes out here with his glitz and glam, his pyro, his ballin'. He's got Breitling diamond watches, designer suits. That's great MVP, because let's face facts, MVP. You could put diamonds on a dog, but it's still a mutt. All you mistakes will respect me, everybody in that locker room will respect their United States Champion! Because I'm The Miz...and I'm...AWESOME! === November 22 === :'''The Miz''': I told you. I told you all. I...told...you...all I would be Champion! <hr width=50%/> :'''CM Punk''': You thought Randy Orton and Wade Barrett was the story; you thought John Cena being fired was the story; and then The Miz, Mr. Money in the Bank, comes out, cashes in, and he tells the world that ''he'' is the true story. He is the WWE Champion. :'''Michael Cole''': Ladies and gentlemen, the Era of Awesomeness has begun on Monday Night Raw! == 2011 == === April 11 === :'''Edge''': You may to have to bear with me a little bit. I’m probably gonna ramble and not make much sense, but just please bear with me. A lot of people think that the WWE doesn't hurt. That what we do, maybe it’s done with smoke and mirrors, and I wish that were true. But anybody in that locker room, anybody who has ever stepped foot in here, laced up a pair of boots—they know that’s not the case. :Which brings me to what I am about to tell you. Eight years ago, I broke my neck. I had spinal fusion surgery, which means they move your throat over, they put a plate in there, and screws, and it’s really in-depth surgery. But because of that surgery, I knew that I was...I was wrestling on borrowed time from that point on. So fast forward, and...the last, the last little while, I’ve been in a lot of pain. I...I’ve been losing feeling in my arms. So...I passed strength tests and all of those things, and I made it through [[WrestleMania#WrestleMania XVII|WrestleMania]]. But the WWE wanted me to go get more tests. And thankfully I did, because the MRI showed that...that I have to retire. ''[The crowd is visibly shocked]'' I mean, trust me, it’s not my choice. The doctors have told me that I got no choice. And thankfully, they found out because I’m not gonna end up in a wheelchair now. :''[The crowd starts cheering for him, chanting "Thank you, Edge."]'' :This is a little bit tougher than I thought it was gonna be. So, you know...thank you, guys. :I’ll tell ya, this has been an emotional roller coaster of a week for me and I’m not going to lie. I felt sorry for myself. I...until I talked to Christian. And for those of you who don’t know, Christian has been my best friend for 27 years. And you see I was angry, I was angry at myself, I was angry at my body. Because I felt like there’s a lot of people in this company that depend on me, and I felt like I was letting them down. I felt like I was letting you guys down. But then, you know, I was upset too, because I did not feel like I was ending this on my terms. But he reminded me that, that I have competed my whole career on my terms. :I...you know, I’m still like all of you. I am a huge fan of the WWE. Every month, Christian and I would go down to the Maple Leaf Gardens and we would watch all of our favorites. We would watch The Legion of Doom, we’d watch Demolition, we’d watch...we’d watch Hulk Hogan, we’d watch all of them and just be enthralled. And then I went to WrestleMania VI and I watched Hulk Hogan against The Ultimate Warrior, and I said, “I’m doing this one day.” And you know what? Fast forward a whole bunch of years, and I’m main eventing WrestleMania against The Undertaker. There’s no way I ever would have dreamed of that. There’s no way if you told me when I was eleven years old that I would win more championships than anyone in the history of this company, no way I would've believed you. And if you had told me that my last match would be at WrestleMania in one of the main events defending the World Heavyweight Championship, and that I’d be retiring as the World Heavyweight Champion. Man, I couldn't dream of a better way to go out. I really couldn't. :You know, I...I started in the WWE when I was 23. I mean, I have been doing this for 19 years, 14 of them with the WWE. My first match was May 10th, 1996 at Hamilton’s Copps Coliseum. And...I was 23 years old, and I feel like I've grown up in front of all of you. I feel like I've made a whole lot of mistakes in front of you. I've learned from them, and I've become a man in front of you. I've gone from being the silent guy running around the streets of New York with a trench coat that was way too small for him, to a pseudo-vampire in The Brood, to one of the funny, goofy guys along with Christian, posing for the benefit of those with flash photography. I became one of the most despised guys in the history of the WWE. As a matter of fact, I got thrown in the Long Island Sound. I had a live sex celebration, thankfully with Lita and not Vickie Guerrero. And I would hope that through it all, I've earned the respect of everyone in that locker room. And I hope that I've earned all of your respect. Because no matter what, no matter what, I came out here and I tried to give you guys as much as I had every single night. And in turn, you guys gave it right back to me. :So, I’m gonna miss all of this. All of it. I’m gonna miss that reaction when I hear my music and I come out on the ramp. It’s like a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart from you guys, and it’s amazing. I can’t describe it. But, that being said, I don’t have to wear tights tomorrow and I am gonna go eat a whole lot of ice cream tonight. But if you asked me if I would do all of this again. All the way back from getting hired by J.R. If you asked me if I’d travel all the roads, log all the miles, hop on all the flights, all the sleepless nights, all the surgeries, all of the injuries, the metal rods in my teeth, all of it. If you asked me if I’d do it again…in a heartbeat. So, thank you, thank you very much. === June 20 === :'''[[Phil Brooks|CM Punk]]''': July 17, 2011 will be the most historic day, not only in the career of CM Punk, it's gonna be a historic day for the WWE as a whole. Not only is July 17 the second annual Money in the Bank ladder match pay-per-view, it's the night I defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship. And now, here's that honesty I was talking about, that honesty that's probably gotten me in trouble more times than I like to admit. The brutal honesty I'm known for. July 17 is the day my contract with World Wrestling Entertainment comes to an end. That means when the clock strikes midnight, the 17 becomes the 18, Sunday bleeds into Monday, I'm leaving. And trust me when I tell you. I am leaving with the WWE Championship. === June 27 === :'''CM Punk''': John Cena, while you lay there hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this because before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest. I don't hate you, John. I don't even dislike you. I ''do'' like you; I like you a hell lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate this idea that you're the best...because you're not. I'm the best. I'm the best in the world. There's one thing you're better at than I am, and that's kissing Vince McMahon's ass. You're as good at kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don't know if you're as good as ''[[w:Dwayne Johnson|Dwayne]]'' though—he's a pretty good ass-kisser, always was and still is. ''[Turns to camera and waves]'' Whoops, I'm breaking the fourth wall. :I am the best wrestler in the world. I've been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company, and I've been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar, and he split just like I'm splitting, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship. :I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that they're just that—they're completely imaginary. The only thing that's real is me, and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I've proved to everybody in the world that I'm the best on this microphone, in that ring, even at commentary! Nobody can touch me! And yet no matter how many times I prove it, I'm not on your lovely little collector cups, I'm not on the cover of the program, I'm barely promoted, I don't get to be in movies, I'm certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network, I'm not on the poster of WrestleMania, I'm not on the signature that's produced at the start of the show! I'm not on Conan O'Brien, I'm not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be; and trust me, this isn't sour grapes, but the fact that Dwayne is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I'm not makes me sick! :''[Turns to the fans]'' Oh, hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else, because you're the ones that are sipping out of those collector cups right now; you're the ones that buy those programs that my face isn't on the cover of, and then at 5:00 in the morning at the airport, you try and shove it in my face so you can get an autograph and try to sell it on eBay because you're too lazy to go get a real job! :I'm leaving with the WWE Championship on July 17, and hell, who knows? Maybe I'll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe I'll go back to Ring of Honor. ''[Waves to camera]'' Hey, [[w:Colt Cabana|Colt Cabana]], how you doing? The reason I'm leaving is you people because after I'm gone, you're still gonna pour money into this company. I'm just a spoke on the wheel, the wheel's gonna keep turning and I understand that. But Vince McMahon's gonna make money despite himself. He's a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he's not a billionaire? It's 'cause he surrounds himself with glad-handing, nonsensical douchebag yes-men like [[w:John Laurinaitis|John Laurinaitis]] who's gonna tell him everything that he wants to hear. And I'd like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon's dead, but the fact is it's gonna get taken over by his idiotic [[w:Stephanie McMahon|daughter]] and his doofus [[w:Triple H|son-in-law]] and the rest of his stupid family! Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon. All right. We're doing this whole bullying campaign...''[The mic cuts off]'' === July 11 === :'''CM Punk''': You wanna have fun? Let's have fun. :'''Mr. McMahon''': ''[on the contract]'' I've got everything in here you want... :'''CM Punk''': Because ''my'' lawyers looked over your contract, Vince, and frankly, it just wasn't up to par, so I had them draw up a new one. I have it right here; my signature's already on it, all you've got to do is sign it. I...do think you should know about a couple new perks that I've added to it. You say you don't think contractual things should happen in public? Let's ask the WWE Universe—you people want this to go down in public? ''[The crowd cheers]'' You wanna hear a couple new perks? :'''Mr. McMahon''': Don't push me. :'''Audience member''': What? :'''CM Punk''': He said, "don't push me." Did you already look at this? Did somebody stooge this off? Because this is actually provision #1—''[pushes McMahon in his seat]'' that I get to push you. Vince, I'll push you all I want..Vince, I'll kick you in the nuts and you'll smile at me and like it, and show me some respect! Because if you don't, I find the nearest paper shredder, I throw this puppy in there, and Sunday, I leave with your WWE Championship. :Provision #1—for a Superstar such as myself, first class travel is not good enough. I want my own jet. And I don't want your jet—your jet smells, don't try to pawn that thing off on me—I want my own jet. :[Provision] #2—my face will be on everything. I want my face on the TitanTron, I want my face on these turnbuckles, I want cups, posters, spoons, knives, forks, shoes, socks. I want everything with my face on it; number-one thing I want you to bring back—the WWE Ice Cream Bars. ''[The crowd cheers and chants "WE WANT ICE CREAM!"]'' Look at that, I just made you a million dollars in ice cream sales. :I want WWE Films to immediately start production on ''CM Punk: The Movie''! You can call it ''The Chaperone 2'', except mine will be funny and entertaining and successful. :And one last thing—the main event of WrestleMania being John Cena against your buddy Dwayne? That's The Rock, for nobody who watches bad Disney movies. You can still have that little fantasy, but the match that I compete in at WrestleMania will be the main event. :Those are just a few of many new perks that my lawyers have added to the contract. The last thing that this contract states is that you apologize to me. I know, Vince McMahon doesn't apologize, right? But you will apologize to me for suspending me last week; you will apologize... Hell, you know what? I'm gonna be honest, you're not just apologizing to me, you're apologizing to these people for being one of the biggest hypocrites I've ever seen in my entire life. As far as your anti-bullying campaign goes, you are one of the biggest bullies I've ever met in my entire life, and you will apologize. I have had friends, very talented friends, work for this company and be unceremoniously fired. :'''Mr. McMahon''': They deserved it! :'''CM Punk''': They deserved it? They deserved it? Why? Because you don't know what makes a superstar in 2011?! You don't know what these people want?! You wanna punish people for actually liking professional wrestling, guys like Colt Cabana and guys like Luke Gallows?! Huh?! You will apologize to me, for them, because they can't be here right now, and they can't stand up to you, and they can't let their voice be heard! I am CM Punk, and I am the voice of the voiceless, and you will apologize, and you will like it! <hr width=50%/> :'''CM Punk''': I'm not gonna have you sit here and belittle me. Say ''I've'' lost sight? ''I've'' lost sight of things, ''John''? The reason I say I'm gonna take that and walk out is because I ''don't'' fit a certain mold. Because ''I'' am the underdog, and that's exactly what ''you've'' lost sight of. Earlier in this ring, you mentioned great wrestlers like Eddie Guerrero and you said that ''they'' used to look at you and think that the kid couldn't hang. And now you stand here and look at me as the kid that can't hang. John, I was hanging off of your gangster car, WrestleMania 22, as it rolled down in Chicago, Illinois, and I stood there in a suit looking as ridiculous as ''[points to Vince McMahon]'' that man looks right now in his suit, holding a phony Tommy gun, and I said to myself someday, I'm not gonna be standing out there watching you in the ring; I was gonna be standing in the ring watching you go down to CM Punk. And now here we are in your hometown of Boston. And now next week, we'll be back there in my hometown—Chicago, Illinois. And this...this is the part where I talk 'em into the building. See, ''you'' are the one that's lost sight, and I apologize for raising my voice because I'm not that guy. But when you stand here and tell me that I've lost sight, when you, the 10-time Champion who stands for hustle, loyalty and respect; who, from Boston, Massachusetts, lives and breathes these red colors, the same colors as your beloved Red Sox, who ''also'' portray themselves as the underdog, I'm sure just like the Bruins portray themselves as the underdog. Just like the Patriots think they're the underdog! Hey, how about those Celtics? Are they the underdogs too? Here's what you've lost sight of, John, and I'm really happy that your father and your wife are sitting in the front row so they can hear it! :'''John Cena''': That's the last time I'm gonna tell you, ease up. :'''CM Punk''': What you've lost sight of is what you are, and what you are is what you hate. You're the 10-time WWE Champion! You're the man! Ladies and gentlemen, the Champ is here. You, like the Red Sox, like Boston, are no longer the underdog! You're a dynasty. You are what you hate. You have become the New York Yankees! ''[John immediately punches Punk, who scoots out of the ring, grabs the contract, and goes up the ramp. Points respectively to Vince and John]'' You're Steinbrenner, and you might as well be Jeter! Mr. 3000, ''I'm'' the underdog! ''[John's music plays for fourteen seconds]'' Turn it off! Turn the music off because I have something to say, and I'm positive that everybody here wants to hear it, and everybody sitting at home has their DVRs fired up because ''they wanna hear it!'' I'm glad you just punched me in the face, John. I'm glad it went down this way because it hit me like a bolt of lightning—exactly why I no longer wanna be here, why I wanna leave. It's because I'm tired of this. I'm tired of you. I'm just tired. So ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe, Vince, John, Sunday night, say goodbye to the WWE Title, say goodbye to John Cena, and say goodbye to CM Punk! ''[Rips up the contract]'' I'll go be the best in the world somewhere else. ===July 18=== :'''John Cena''': Relax, relax, relax, relax. I'm not gonna go on a profanity-ridden tirade. You don't need a seven-second-delay, Kevin. I'm not gonna show my genitalia. I'm not gonna talk bad about your family or your company. And I know exactly what you're about to do, and I'm okay with it. Because I'm not gonna have to go through the same things that you made Shawn Michaels go through. Shawn Michaels, the best performer ever to step in this ring. But you made him bent over backwards and for all that he accomplished, for all of his achievements, for years, all they said about HBK was that he screwed Bret! No matter how many championships he won, no matter how many times he stopped the show, he carried that burden, and it began to define him, and he had to take it with him his entire career. And you know what? I thought about that a lot last week, Vince, and I put myself in his shoes. If I was in his shoes, would I want to be the guy who screwed Bret? Would I want to be the guy that screwed CM Punk? My answer was no. :I knew exactly what was at stake. I asked for the match. The WWE Championship, my career. But there was more than that. There was more than just John Cena vs. CM Punk in a classic. It was about you. It was about you wanting to keep your little bubble intact - your little universe in one piece. Nobody can embarrass Vince McMahon. And to do that, you thought you needed somebody to play ball, and I was gonna be your patsy. No way! And I know I'm not supposed to say his name, but, Punk, if you are out there watching: It was one hell of a match last night, son. Thank you so much. :''[over Vince's protests]'' Hey, hey, hey, listen. You put me in a position to make a decision. You wanted the match thrown out. I don't do business like that. You're a businessman, you got your way of doin' business. I do my business a certain way, I am not gonna play along with that crap because you would have made the WWE Championship meaningless. So here's the skinny. I had a great career here. And he says he can make another one of me. Fine, Vince, go ahead. Make one, make ten. I don't care. I've even given you some time. You have eight months—-give or take a few days—-to find another opponent for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania XXVIII. I'm not an idiot, Vince. You'll do some hocus-pocus and you'll find somebody for Dwayne, and WrestleMania will go off without a hitch as if I was never even here. I get it. Meanwhile I get to walk outta here with my pride and my dignity. :So before we get into the formalities and the big Vince-McMahon-walk and the whole speech, which I'm gonna let you do. Go ahead. It's what they know you for. I just need to tell you something. And I want this to sink in. I love the WWE and I truly believe I belong here. And, man, I hate saying this. But if you're about to tell me that I'm not welcome here, if you're about to tell me that I have no other option, I love this. This is what I do. And if you make me walk tonight, then I will walk on someone else's television show and keep doing this, ''brother!'' That is no threat, that is a promise. And here's the skinny. There's a lot people out there that say I do a lot of things. But I prove tonight that one thing I will not do is kiss your ass! <hr width=50%/> :''[Triple H appears as Vince seeks to fire John Cena]'' :'''Triple H''': Vince. Sorry I got here as quickly as I could. There was a board of directors' meeting this morning. Vince, last night we flew from Chicago here. When I got there, I received a phone-call. I got back on the jet and I flew to the office, where there was a board of directors' meeting this morning. Vince, the board asked me to come here to talk to you. They are concerned about the current situation. Can we just go and talk about this in the back, please? I tried to get out here, Vince, before you came to the ring, but I didn't make it. More specifically, the board is concerned about you. Don't get me wrong. They completely understand you have built the global empire. All of this, every single bit of it is because of you and your vision. That's a given. But at the same point in time, Vince, the board is concerned about your extremely questionable - their term, their words - extremely questionable decisions as of late. Vince, the board has asked me to come here to tell you, that they have filed an injunction against you with the vote of no-confidence. And Vince, the family agrees. :On top of that, Vince, the board has appointed someone to take over the day-to-day operations of the WWE. And — I can't — I can't even believe I'm gonna say this, but Vince, it's me. ''[audience chants for Cena]'' Vince, you're not gonna fire John Cena. You're not gonna be doing anything else. Vince, you taught me from day one - from day one - that nobody is bigger than this business. Nobody. And this is just business. I can't even believe I'm gonna say this and Vince this is with all due respect: I am here to inform you — that, Vince, you are relieved of your duties. ''["Hey, Goodbye' chants, Vince is evidently sad]'' Please — understand. I did not wanna do this. I'm tryin' to do what's right for the business. Look at me — Look at me! I love you, pa! And I'm sorry. ''[leaves Vince]'' == 2012 == === February 27 === :'''Chris Jericho''': Listen, I know you've got a big match, Champion vs. Champion, but what I have to say is a little bit more important. Before I say it, let me preface it by saying one thing. I think you're an amazing performer, Punk. I think you're very, very good. As a matter of fact, you're one of my favorites, but you're not as good as I am. You're not as good as me. You're not the best in the world at everything you do, and you know it. :You see, I never had to call myself the best in the world; other people said it for me. These people said it for me. And I never had to write it on the back of a t-shirt; they would write it on signs and bring it to the arena. And the reason for that is this—I am part of a special breed of performers. I am one of a literal dying breed of performers that toured the world, honing our craft, learning our skills, becoming stars before we ever got to the WWE. A breed that cared more about having the best match on the show than personal politics, didn't care what the hierarchy thought of us, what position we were slotted in, what we were supposed to be. A breed of performers that were given nothing and took everything. And yeah, I developed a chip on my shoulder because of it; and yeah, I got a bad attitude and a bad reputation in the back with the powers that be because of it; but I didn't give a damn because I knew I was good. I knew I was the best. :And now, Punk, you're just like me. You're a maverick, a rebel that went against the grain and became something more than anybody thought that you would. But in translation, that's because you just want to be me. You're a Chris Jericho wannabe, just like all these Chris Jericho wannabes, and it's so obviously...''[to the booing crowd]'' oh yeah, you know it's true. It's so obviously blatant by the fact that you plagiarize me every step of the way... :'''CM Punk''': Stop. Stop. Just stop. :'''Chris Jericho''': Don't you tell me to stop, boy. I'm talking to you. :'''CM Punk''': And I'm listening, but I think everybody else is sick of listening, so I'm gonna go ahead. Look, Chris, I know how good you are, these people know how good you are. My problem I have with you is you coming out here and insinuating that I've stolen ''anything'' from you. No, I've never plagiarized anything in my life. Everything I have, ''[holding up WWE Championship]'' I've fought for and I've earned. It's right here. :You think you invented saying that you were the best? Are you kidding me? There's a guy I remember watching when I was a kid—you probably watched him when you were a kid, too—his name's Bret "Hitman" Hart, the best there is, ''[crowd says it with him]'' the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Did you invent that? Did you give that to him when you were, what, two years old? Huh? He's Canadian too. Did you invent him being Canadian? Did you invent Canada? :'''Chris Jericho''': Oh, yeah, laugh along. Laugh it up with Punk. Laugh along with Punk. Very nice. Because it's oh so typical, Punk. So smarmy, sarcastic, never taking anything too seriously, right? Well you need to take me seriously, Punk, 'cause this is a whole different level. A whole different level from anything that you've ever had before. Because like I said, this isn't some kind of gimmick. I am the best in the world at everything I do, and I prove it every night as I have for the last 22 years. Staying on the highest level of any performer in the history of this business. ''[to the crowd]'' You can boo if you want, but you know it's the damn truth. :I have faced every legend, every Hall-of-Fame, future Hall-of-Fame performer in this ring and beaten them all. I've won dozens of championships, I've had dozens of classic matches, classic WrestleMania steal-the-show matches, dozens of moments that will be legendary long after either one of us are gone. ''[Crowd chants "CM Punk!"]'' You can chant it all you want, but I am not just telling you, I am proving to you with all the evidence that standing right in front of you is the literal, undeserved, undoubtful best in the world at everything I do! :'''CM Punk''': You know, you keep ''saying'' that, and your words just scream superiority. But I watch you and the way you walk out here and the inflection in your voice and certainly your body language—it screams ''inferiority''. Who you trying to prove? You're trying to prove to ''me'' that you're the best, or are you trying to prove to these people that you're the best, or are you trying to prove to ''yourself'' that you're the best? I say I'm the best in the world, and yeah, that's a little cocky, but confidence is nothing that I've ever lacked, and it's nothing I thought you lacked. But now that confidence, Chris, seems to be replaced with jealousy. :You look at me and you see a guy that emerged from the same shadows you did. He came from the same places you did, he overcame the same obstacles you did. But now he's ''surpassed'' everything that you did, didn't he? Because sure, you beat legends. You beat the Stone Cold and you beat Rock in the same night ten years ago, and that made you the WWE Champion. But you were never really the ''man'', like how I'm the ''man'', were you? And that just bothers you a little bit, doesn't it? You have a Napoleon clompl—complex because of it, so you come back and you try to point fingers and place the blame. The blame's only on you. :See, ''you'' say that you're the best in the world at what you do, and I say that I'm the best ''wrestler'' in the world. The distinction, to me, is very simple. This is nothing I chose, I was born this way. This is who I am, this is what I do, while you choose to leave and write books and have a radio show and be on game shows, and you choose to be a rock star. And all the while, I'm here ON TOP, swimming with sharks while you're [[w:Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 12)|dancing with stars]]! :'''Chris Jericho''': When I was dancing with stars, Punk, and killing it on the Tonight Show and becoming a bigger star than you ever were, all I could of was one thing, and that was you ripping me off. Every single night, you ripping me off, Punk. And let me be completely clear and honest with you. All of those January 2nd vignettes and the "best in the world" verbiage and this light-up, flashy, fancy jacket—it's all window dressing. Because I came back to the WWE for one reason and one reason only, and that was to embarrass you on the biggest stage in the world, to take back what is mine, to beat you for that World Title at WrestleMania, and shove down your throat that I am the best in the world at what I do! I prove it, I claim it, I AM IT EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! :'''CM Punk''': Well, that's all you had to say. When you came back, you didn't have to jump me to get my attention. All you had to do was grab me and say, "hey, Punk! Me and you, best in the world vs. best in the world at WrestleMania!" :See, this is the time of year everybody points at that sign, but I'm gonna point at my Championship title, because to me, I don't need Chris Brown and you don't need Mickey Rourke, and we don't need all the pyro in the world or inflatable letters to tell everybody how ''awesome'' we are, and I don't need a fancy entrance, and screw your stupid Lite-Brite jacket! The only thing ''we'' need is me and you in a ring, and on April 1st, we're gonna find out exactly who the best in the world is. Because to me, those are the only ingredients we need in the recipe to have what quite possibly could be the greatest wrestling match in WrestleMania history. But see, I have something you covet, and I say come and get it. And at the end of the night, when you're looking over your shoulder on the ramp and you see this, ''[Puts down the mic and yells to the crowd]'' "Best in the world!!!" ''[Picks the mic back up and resumes talking to Jericho]'' It's not gonna be the end of ''the'' world, it's just gonna be the end of ''yours''. === March 12 === :'''Chris Jericho''': Yeah, congratulations. Way to go, Punk, way to go. Congratulations on your big win. You need to enjoy them while you can. You see, you can smirk if you want to, but I see straight through you. When I look at you, I see a fraud. And I'm not talking about the fact that you call yourself the best in the world, I'm talking about you as a person. Because I did a little research this week, Punk, and I found something, a little deep, dirty, dark secret about you. You've been straight edge ever since you came to the WWE, but you've never explained the reasons why. I wanna tell all of these wannabes why you're straight edge. I wanna tell them that you're straight edge because your father is an alcoholic. :Yeah, that's right. Your father was an alcoholic who let you down every step of the way when you were growing up, and it terrifies you. You don't want to end up like him. But it's inevitable that you will, because alcohol is in your blood, it's in your genes, it's part of who you are, and that tortures you. I know you've built this facade, this wall that you're a sarcastic antihero with not a care in the world, but I think I've found something that you care about. I've found something that gives you nightmares, something that terrifies you. :And isn't it ironic that the very alcohol that you crave is the same thing that ruined your childhood? Oh, the nightmares you must have about your father; I almost feel bad for you, Punk. Is that the reason why you have all those tattoos? Was the pain of wanting to drink so bad that you needed the pain of a tattoo needle to take it out of your mind? Was that your only solace? :It doesn't matter if it is, Punk, because you are going to drink eventually, and I'm the one who is going to make you drink. At WrestleMania XXVIII, I'm going to take away your title, I'm gonna take away your claims of being the best in the world, I'm gonna take away your bravado, and I'm gonna leave you a broken man. You're gonna hit bottom, Punk, and when you do, you're going to embrace your destiny, and you're gonna take a drink. And it's gonna taste so good that you're gonna wanna take another one, and another one, and another one. After April 1st, I'm gonna be recognized for who I am—the undisputed best in the world and the new WWE Champion. And you're gonna be recognized for who you are, who your father was—a pathetic damn drunk! === May 21 === :'''John Cena''': I, I, I... I've had a lot of these matches. I've won some. I've lost some. But win, lose, or draw, every single Monday, I come out here and say, "You know what? It was great. Congratulations to my opponent. Let's move on." :'''Michael Cole''': Can't do that, can he? :'''John Cena''': What the hell happened? What the hell? What the hell? John Laurinaitis beat me. John Laurinaitis... he... he beat me. You know, you know, here's the thing, it's not how, it's not how it happened. It's why the hell would something like that happen in the first place! ''[frustrated grunt]'' Okay. You know, ever since he's been here, and all of you can attest to this, John Laurinaitis has been a selfish, power-hungry bully. And last night, John Laurinaitis got a taste of his own medicine. You guys saw some of the photos. If you were there and you watched it, we were having a blast! It was great! It was everything that it was supposed to be! That was what People Power was about! He was getting his tail whipped! I was having fun! You were having fun! And we all knew that he was gonna be gone! And then, he ran away and Big Show brought him back. Big Show: the guy that John Laurinaitis humiliated in this ring. The guy that John Laurinaitis fired in this ring. He brought him back, and then it was fun again. Big Show threw him in the ring and he had that giant hand around Laurinaitis' scrawny neck and you could watch him back. He looked in his eyes. I was right over here. I gave him a nod. I said, "Show, I got this one." He looked in my eyes and he said, "Yeah, you do." And he gave me John Laurinaitus to make sure I finish the job and... and John Laurinaitis would be terminated! And then, Big Show, a man that I used to call a friend, knocked me out cold. He knocked me out cold and your winner was John Laurinaitis. :'''Jerry ''': I have never seen John Cena shook up his ears right now. :'''John Cena''': Hindsight being 20/20, there are some "experts" out there that are saying, "Well, why did you toy with him?" "Why'd you spray him with a fire extinguisher?" Or, "Why did you pour water all over him?" "You should have just beat him." Hey, geniuses, if you already paid off the Big Show, if John Laurinaitis was in any jeopardy of losing that match, the giant was gonna beat me anyway. I am glad that I did every single thing that I did to John Laurinaitis because he damn sure deserved that and ten times more! What I'm not glad about is The Big Show, the world's largest athlete deciding to sell out. I don't even know what he is thinking about. There is no possible explanation to explain exactly what he did! What the hell was he thinking? John Laurinaitis was gonna be gone! He is the world's largest athlete. I don't care who the next general manager was. Vickie Guerrero. Teddy Long. ''[pointing to audience]'' This guy over here in the third row. Hell, bring the computer back. And... ''[making noise]'' the first random e-mail would be, "May I have your attention please? I have just received an e-mail that says we're hiring The Big Show back." But instead, he Benedict Arnold me, knocked me out and we are... we are stuck! Show, this was not about John Cena losing, this match was about John Laurinaitis winning! We are stuck! We are stuck with this People Power garbage! Which means, now, probably you're gonna see some graphic or something and he's gonna come out here and ''[mimicking John Laurinaitis]'' tell you guys how brave he is. And how badly he's hurt. And what a... what a great new plan that he's got for the next pay-per-view in the name of People Power. This is crap! :''[John Laurinaitis' music plays, but Eve Torres comes out}'' :'''John Cena''': Wow, John Laurinaitis, you got really hot, but you still suck. :'''Eve Torres''': Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, the permanent general manager of both Raw and Smackdown, and the man who beat John Cena last night, Mr. John Laurinaitis. :''[John Laurinaitis' music plays again while Michael Cole applauds and John Laurinaitis comes to the stage in a scooter]'' :'''Michael Cole''': It's wonderful. :'''Jerry''': Oh, my god. :''[John Laurinaitis slowly get off scooter and uses a crutch]'' :'''John Laurinaitis''': John, after our match last night, I was rushed to the emergency room. The doctors said I have a possible broken clavicle, a possible damage to my ACL and PCL in my knee, and possible spinal injury, not to mention all the contusions all over my body. John, I cannot lift my left arm or move my left leg which indicates potential nerve damage. But that's okay because as I proved last night, when I'm in that ring, I'm a fierce competitor. But let me remind you, when I'm outside that ring, I'm a WWE executive. I wanna make sure you and everyone knows that you or anyone else cannot lay a finger on me again. If you do, you will be immediately terminated. But enough about me. I'd like to introduce to you the man who this past Saturday I rehired and actually gave a great bonus to. A man that in four weeks, John, you will face at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey in a pay-per-view called "No Way Out." That's right, John. The man who knocked you out, The Big Show. :''[Big Show's music plays and Big Show comes to the stage]'': :'''Jerry''': I don't know how this guy can even show his face out here. The Big Show, what...? :'''Big Show''': Well, John, I'm sure you and everyone else would like an explanation for my actions. Quite frankly, none are you are entitled to my explanation. However, however I will say last week on this show, I was on my knees to this man doing something I have never done before, begging for my job. No one loves this business more than I do. Our fans, our superstars, our production and technical crew. I was so upset I actually found myself crying. All of you watched a grown man, a giant crying on worldwide television? ''[hears "You're a sellout" chants]'' I'm a sellout. Again, I get no sympathy from any of you. No sympathy! None! 18 years of my life, nothing! I did what I had to do! I did what each and every one of you what I've done! I have an ironclad contract now and I'm proud of it! How dare you, Cena? How dare you? How dare any of you, any of you judge me?! How dare you?! How dare you? Cena, I will be judging you... look at me! I will be judging you June 17th. There will be no way out because you, my friend, I'm gonna knock out. === May 28 === :'''Big Show''': ''[mock smiling]'' You see this? This is me doing my job. This... this is me smiling. Smiling. It was easy making you people smile. Tell you the truth, I didn't mind doing it. But make no mistake about it, it was a calculated business decision. I made a living at it. I was a business man. I just also happen to be a giant. See, but all that's over now. Oh, that's so nice. What. That's so good. That's why I love you all so much. See, the reason I don't have to do that anymore and put on that smile is because I have an ironclad contract. ''[hears "Cena" chants]'' I have an ironclad contract with a big fat bonus, which means I'm set for life. Which means I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, to whoever I want, and I don't have to be concerned about putting smiles on you people's faces. I'm 7-foot tall, 441 pounds. I am not an entertainer. I am a giant. Let's face it, people, there's no one in my league. There's no helmet, shoulder-pad, four month out-of-the-year NFL player. There's no toothpick, noodle arm NBA player. There's no phony UFC so-called fighter. And there is certainly, there is certainly not anyone in the WWE that is in my league. And maybe that's why. Maybe that's why not one single WWE superstar came to my defense... came to my defense when, at the most humiliating moment of my life, when I was on my knees begging for my job. Just minutes after I was begging, this happened. ''[clip shows from May 14]'' My tears were not even dry in the ring and Brodus Clay is out there dancing. DANCING! Two guys that I thought were my friends, Kofi and Truth, they're just out there yucking it up, having a good ol' time and... and you people, all of you waving, clapping, having a great time. It's fun, wasn't it? It was easy for you people just to... just to move on. ''[hears "Cena" chants again]'' You people... you people are so shallow. You're so phony. But after all that, there's one man, there's one guy that disappointed me even more than all of you and that man's name is John Cena. When I saw John Cena in the ring, I thought he was gonna confront John Laurinaitis. I thought he was gonna fight for me. I thought he was gonna fight for his friend. I thought... I thought Cena was gonna threaten in an entire WWE locker room mutiny unless John Laurinaitis hired me right there, right back on the spot. Instead, your hero, John Cena, did this. ''[clip shows from May 14]'' Cena made jokes. I guess that's all I am. I guess that's all I am to all of you people as well, just one big joke. Well, Cena hurt me when he decided he didn't care. And last week, I hurt him. I knocked John Cena out twice within 24 hours. Now, what I'm gonna do to John Cena at No Way Out, it won't be pretty. John Cena is not gonna be standing across the ring from a businessman, John Cena is gonna be standing across the ring from an unstoppable giant. You think John Cena suffered his greatest loss in his career when he lost at Wrestlemania to The Rock? You think John Cena suffered the worst beating of his life when he faced Brock Lesnar? You think John Cena suffered the most embarrassing moment of his career when he lost to John Lauriaitis at Over the Limit? At No Way Out, John Cena is gonna experience all three of those things in one night, and that... that ''[mock smiling]'' puts a smile on my face. <hr width=50%/> :'''Cody Rhodes''': Like I said, I respect what Christian has done, but again, he sits on the fence between classic and contemporary, in my opinion. :'''Jerry''': What does that mean? What does that mean, "sits on the fence"? :'''Cody''': Well, I'm trying to be nice, Jerry. It means he's old, old like you. === July 30 === :'''CM Punk''': "WrestleMania moments" are what most everybody in the locker room always talks about, everybody wants their WrestleMania moment. But last week, I had myself a ''Raw'' moment; it was a ''Raw'' moment that was bigger than most people's WrestleMania moments. But before I get into why I did exactly what I did to the Rock, I wanna shed some light on something. I want to bring to your attention the way ''Raw 1,000'' went off the air, I was uncomfortable with. I...it left a bad taste in my mouth. The way the 1,000th episode of ''Raw'' went off the air was with Jerry Lawler saying, and I quote, "CM Punk has turned his back on the WWE Universe." :''[He turns and looks right at Jerry. He leaves the ring and sits on the announcers' table looking right at him.]'' :'''Michael Cole''': Cat got your tongue, King? You did say that. :'''CM Punk''': I don't get it, Jerry. I mean, I'm used to really bad, overly dramatic hyperbole on commentary, but...that was horrible, even for you. How do you jump to such a conclusion? I mean, if anything, it was you who turned your back on me because the last time I checked, the Rock was not the WWE Universe. The Rock is one single, solitary man. He's a larger-than-life, extremely charismatic...delusional movie star who came in and showed me, ''[holds up the WWE Championship]'' the WWE Champion, an incredible lack of respect. :First off, he interrupted me, which is something nobody should ever do. He interrupted me, and when he went into his little tired shtick with Daniel Bryan, he acted as if I wasn't even in the ring. I was almost invisible to him. And then when he does what I can only imagine in his brain is lowering himself to talk to me, he tells me that he's been gifted with a championship match at the Royal Rumble, and he acts as if he's just going to take my championship from me? The respect he didn't show me, I showed him right then and there because he's lucky I didn't drop him on the spot. He...he's fortunate that I didn't hurt him right then and there. And then at the end of the night, ''Dwayne'' does what Dwayne does best, and he tries to make the show all about him. He tries to make ''Raw's'' 1,000th episode all about him. And that's exactly when I showed him the kind of man he's dealing with, come Royal Rumble. 'Cause this is not a popularity contest, this is not ballet, this is the WWE and ''I'' am its Champion. You understand me, Jerry? :And what's the Rock's response been? We haven't heard from him in a week, which is funny to a guy like me because when he was battling with John Cena, you couldn't shut him up. But now...now the Rock has found his silence, and I know what that means. So when it comes to you and your little agenda, however you wanna spin, however you wanna spin it, you can say what I did or didn't do to John Cena, the 1,000th episode of ''Monday Night Raw'' ended the exact way every episode of ''Monday Night Raw'' should end—with the focus and the attention and the spotlight on the WWE Champion, ''[holds up the title again]'' the best wrestler in the world. === September 3 === :'''The Miz''': You know, he can make all the excuses in the world, but let's face it—Heath Slater needs to start turning his career around. Now Zack Ryder, on the other hand, look at him. This guy does everything, he goes above and beyond. Social media guru—this guy is on YouTube with his ''Z! True Long Island Story'', he's on Facebook, he's on Twitter, he's interactive with his WWE Universe, and that's why they love him so much. :'''Michael Cole''': Yeah, well, what about Heath Slater? Come on, he's the "One Man Band!" :'''The Miz''': I got a song he can cover. How about [[Beck|Beck's]] "[[w:Loser (Beck song)|Loser]]"? === September 10 === :'''Bret Hart''': Let me ask you this, John Cena: what are you gonna do to finally shut this phony little punk up? :'''CM Punk''': "Phony"? "Phony"? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the people. Did you call me a phony? :'''Bret''': A phony little punk. :'''John Cena''': Hitman, let me handle this one. Yes, he called you a phony. Does that irritate you? Does that make you wanna come down here and maybe do something about it? If that's the case, I'm calling you a phony too. Two things happen at this point—you either stay up there, or you come down here. And there's forty feet of distance and three ropes between you and the worst decision of your life. :'''CM Punk''': Well, if that isn't [[the pot calling the kettle black|the pot calling the kettle black]], I don't know what is. It's quite ironic, the biggest phony in World Wrestling Entertainment history decides to point his finger and cast judgment on its champion. Well, John-Boy, I don't need your judgment, and I don't need your permission. I do what I want, I do what I decide, and right now I've decided to come out here and defend my good name in the face of such rampant, ridiculous disrespect. It almost breaks my heart to see the two of you standing in the ring together. It makes me realize, wow, the Hitman and John Cena are so much alike; and trust me, that's not a compliment. You two can sit here, pat each other on the back, and have a little powwow and talk about how great the both of you were at being the top guy, and completely neglect to mention the fact that you were both unceremoniously surpassed by somebody far superior than yourselves. John, in your instance, I, of course, am speaking of me; and Hitman, in your case, obviously, I'm talking about Shawn Michaels. And by the way, you can't draw a line of comparison between CM Punk and Shawn Michaels. Not the old Shawn, not the new Shawn, because I am better than Shawn Michaels. Oh, hey, hey, Bret, Hitman, you remember that...that hillbilly you made pass out to your little Sharpshooter at [[w:WrestleMania 13|WrestleMania 13]]? Stone Cold Steve Austin? ''[like to a child]'' I'm better than him too. :And I'm better than The Rock, and we all said, we all knew, and we all saw what I did to him in one night, when he showed me one iota of disrespect. Hell, John-Boy, I did in one night what you couldn't do in an entire calendar year. I am the best ''wrestler'', I am the best ''talker'', I am the best ''technician'', I am the best ''brawler''. And I don't say these things from a place of insecurity, and I apologize for your lack of self-confidence, but I say it because I am it! And that makes me anything but a phony. :'''John Cena''': He's right. He's right. Because that last statement actually makes you a liar, a hypocrite, and a conceited scumbag. Congratulations! You can also add that to your resume. :You know, listening to these people tonight, I realize that Montreal is a very honest city. For years, WWE has referred to this building as Bizarro World. Quite frankly, you folks are just honest. You tell us how you feel, whether it's something we wanna hear or not. Tonight, I'm gonna take a lesson from Montreal and actually hit you in the face with a dose of truth, whether you want to hear it or not. :For 300 days, you have been WWE Champion; for 300 days, that championship has been irrelevant. Month after month, you watch main event by main event pass you by. And your excuse, that there's some sort of weird political conspiracy against you. But the fact is there is no you. You see, you have been here for many, many, many years, and the night you made the most noise was, ironically, the night your microphone was turned silent. Ah, I remember those days. Talk about change. Passionate, convicting talk of change. And then one triumphant night in Chicago, when you were the victor and the universe finally said, "we get change!" And they were lied to. They were fooled into a false claim, because change was not ice cream bars, change was not edgy television, change wasn't even new talent. All you meant by "we want change" is "make CM Punk a star." You don't even know who CM Punk is. :I remember in those rants that you once said that I'd become what I despise, in reference to success. No, I went from an underdog to an odds-on favorite, but I did it as me. Through all of this, through all of this, the wins, the losses, the championships, the year when I didn't win the big one at WrestleMania, the embarrassment, the humility, I've had to stand on my own two feet and do it...as me. :Then there's you. You have changed your ideology numerous times, you've stabbed your friends in the back, you borrow colors from Hall-of-Famers, you steal the elbow of the late Randy Savage. All because you have yet to find you. I'm not saying you're not tough—I've been in the ring with you. And I'm not saying you're not accomplished. But your latest phase of development revolves around this. ''[Pointing to the WWE Championship]'' You think because you have this, you are justified respect. No, the reason you have that and have kept it is by any means necessary, and that does not define a champion in my eyes. So at Night of Champions, you're going to have to search for a new identity. You've been really, really loud these past weeks because you finally realize, at Night of Champions, you are in serious jeopardy of losing this. :I didn't want to do this, but the city of Montreal has kind of owed me a favor, so I'm gonna pay one back to you. I'm a little rusty. ''Me je parle un petit Francais (I speak a little French). CM Punk parle qu'il va victoir avec la nuit de champion, mais je vais lui botter le cul.'' Which means... :'''CM Punk''': Which means you have lowered yourself! You have lowered yourself to their level. To speak their language? To speak the languages of the locals? You have lowered yourself! :'''John Cena''': ENOUGH! Enough. Listen up, Jack, I don't lower myself to them because they are the reason we are here! You are an ignorant son-of-a-bitch, and you need a little bit of respect! So, in English, what I said was, "you ''say'' you're gonna win at Night of Champions, but I'm just gonna kick your ass!" === November 26 === :'''Michael Cole''': Dean, Seth, Roman, been my pleasure to known you guys for a while now and worked with you down in the developmental territory in NXT. And it seems a bit odd though to be conducting this interview tonight under these circumstances. It was eight nights ago at Survivor Series, many people say that you came... :'''Dean Ambrose''': Many people? Who are these people? Michael, if you got a question to ask us, just ask. :'''Michael Cole''': Okay. Are you three working directly for WWE Champion CM Punk? :'''Dean Ambrose''': Nope. :'''Michael Cole''': Okay. So if you're not working for Punk, then why are you guys here? :'''Seth Rollins''': Now that's the question, Michael. That's the question you should be asking. You see, we sat down in NXT and we saw things clearly. Crystal clear, actually. You see, everybody around here has to answer to the likes of the Vickie Guerreros and the Booker Ts. And Vickie and Booker, they have to answer to the Board of the Directors. And Board of Directors ultimately has to answer to the WWE Universe. The almighty WWE Universe. What is that, Michael? What is that? It's a popularity contest. And that's not right. That's wrong, Michael. We saw things heading in the wrong direction. We stepped in and righted those wrongs. Michael, we are a shield from injustice in WWE. :'''Michael Cole''': I mean, come on, guys. There is no denying that everything you've done so far has benefited CM Punk. :'''Seth Rollins''': Michael, it's coincidence. Happenstance. You ever heard of it? :'''Dean Ambrose''': It's not about benefiting Punk. It's about right and wrong. CM Punk, the WWE Champion, was forced to defend his title in a Triple Threat Match against two guys he already had defeated. That's wrong. So we stepped in. If had been Ryback or Cena, we would have done the same thing. If Ryback was champion for 365 days and Punk tried to ruin his party, we would have intervened on Ryback's behalf. 365 days as champion in this era? That's a huge milestone. That should be celebrated, right? :'''Michael Cole''': Roman, I would love to get your take on all this. :'''Roman Reigns''': When I want to say something, I'll say it. :'''Dean Ambrose''': Look, Cole, we see what you're getting at, okay? We hear everything you guys are saying. We read everything that's being written. Okay? We know what you guys are thinking. But we're not renegades, we're not mercenaries, we're not the Nexus, and if you're looking for the nWo, go buy the DVD. We are about principles. We're about honor. Where honor no longer exists, we're gonna step in. It's like he said: We're a shield from injustice. :'''Seth Rollins''': Yeah. :'''Dean Ambrose''': We're a shield from injustice. ''[The three look at each other and like the sound of it]'' We are [[w:The Shield (professional wrestling)|The Shield]]. :'''Michael Cole''': Okay, so... :'''Roman Reigns''': Hey, I got something to say. We've said enough. This interview is over, man. == 2013 == === January 7 === :'''CM Punk''': The time has come to tell you all something very personal. You see, I keep my ear to the ground, and I hear everything everybody says, and for the past year and a half, the words "pipe bomb" have been completely misunderstood and misused. It doesn't seem anybody in the Universe understands what it means, anybody in this company doesn't understand what a pipe bomb is. Basically, what a pipe bomb is, in its truest form, is the truth. It's honesty. You boil it down, and the essence of a pipe bomb is exactly what all of you lack—honesty. Seems the perception of me is someone who was a little disgruntled, sat down on the stage in Las Vegas, and aired his grievances and said "pipe bomb." I became the Voice of the Voiceless, and then maybe my ego was like a runaway train and I suddenly bitched and moaned and complained about respect and how I didn't get enough of it. And then I turned my back on the people. :Well, that's a lie. Don't be mistaken. I meant everything I said when I said it, except the part about ice cream, 'cause I look out here and the last thing any of you people need is more bars of ice cream. But I was shortchanged and I was disrespected. And sure, I could have just swallowed that bitter pill and accepted my position in the company like everybody else in the back, or I could have left. Instead I made a conscious decision and I sold out. To you. To you, I sold out; to me, I cashed in. See, I created this persona, this rebel, this antihero that you all love to cheer for because I knew that you all love to cheer for your superheroes. Because here is the truth about Las Vegas, here is the truth about the WWE, is that it doesn't matter that if you're the best wrestler, it doesn't matter if you're the best talker, it doesn't matter if you're the best overall performer, it doesn't matter if you make the two clowns sitting to my left on commentary look like amateur hour. There is a glass ceiling and nobody is allowed to break it. :That's the simple story of this place. The more popular you are, the more money you make. The more ''you'' people cheer for any given superstar, the more opportunities you're afforded. Why do you think a guy like John Cena, who has admittedly had the worst year of his career, gets title shot after title shot after title shot after title shot? Or why a lethal grappler, why a serious submission specialist like Daniel Bryan puts a smile on his face and saddles himself, belittles himself with catchphrases. Or why a 400 pound monster, Brodus Clay, soils his hands by touching your filthy, ugly, little children to get in the ring so he can shuck and jive for you. Or why an invisible child, Little Jimmy, is better positioned on the flagship show Monday Night RAW than a workhorse like Tyson Kidd. :Look at them, they're doing it now. You're doing it now! You're falling for everything I say, you're playing into my hands, but this is the way it is and this is the way you want it because this is the way you handle it. It's easy, it's saccharine, it's simple to digest because you people can't handle anything complicated, you people can't stomach anything interesting. This is the way it's been since the beginning of the time. We're all here in the circus to entertain you. And nobody's ever been able to attain a modicum of success without ''you.'' :Except for now. Until I showed up. I've become the most successful WWE Champion of all time. Not of the modern era. No, that's another little buzzword that somebody backstage wants you to say. They probably wanna put it on a t-shirt. But that's the way you get noticed. You don't get noticed until you start to move a couple of t-shirts around here. If I... if I competed in Bruno Sammartino's era, I'd have been champion for 20 years, too. No, I'd have been champion for 30 years. Because wrestling one night a month at Madison Square Garden is easy. You never see a Hulk Hogan wrestle TLC matches against a superstar like Ryback. Because he had it easy. I wrestle physically demanding matches on free television, week in and week out. So much that my one year equals 30 of theirs. And I have attained this success, not... not because of you. I am successful not because of you. I am successful ''in spite'' of you. :Now, I'm the most honest man in this building, I'm the most honest man in this company 'cause everybody else has got the same, old, tired crybaby story. They'll come out here and they'll say "I do it for the people, I do it for all of you. Let's hear it for Tampa, Florida!" Here's some honesty. I watched Roddy Piper smash a coconut over Jimmy Snuka's head and I sure as hell didn't say "Golly Gee! I can't wait to go electrify the people of Tampa Bay, Florida." No! Because I don't care about the people of Tampa Bay, Florida. :There's good guys and there's bad guys in this world, and make no mistake about it, ladies and gentlemen, I am a bad, bad man and I can freely admit it. But Ric Flair will come out here and he'll cry his 182-year eyes out and say "Oh, I did it for all of you." Now they're wooing. Shawn Michaels can come out here and lose his smile and find his smile, but then in a... in a tearful Hall of Fame speech, he'll say that his entire career was just to gain your acceptance. Then a man like Edge is forced to retire and he'll say that he misses competing for people like you. Now, these people, these men are either weak, or they're dishonest and they're liars. It's either one or the other. But I— I'm neither weak nor dishonest. I'm the best in the world. :Two types of people on this earth. Those born to be in the spotlight, and those born to pay to see the people in the spotlight. Ladies and gentlemen, there's winner and losers. Guess which one you are. You're born to pay to see champions like me, it's not the other way round. And I'll be the first guy to come out here and admit it, I'm honest. I have never ever done this for any of you. There's superstars and there's nobodies. I am a superstar, you are all nobodies. And I'm a real superstar. Those real superstars, hell, if they're your friends, why don't they come out here and give you the millions and millions of dollars they earn? Why don't they line your pockets? 'Cause that's... that's not your position on earth. :Uh, I'm being told that we have to take a commercial break. I'm not done, let me explain something to you. Let me explain something to everybody in the truck. We don't go to break when you wanna go to break. We go to break when the Champ wants to go to break! Listen up and understand something 'cause the Rock's gonna come out here and he's gonna talk a whole lot. Well, I will now tell you the most important thing you're gonna hear tonight. ''[Pointing to random people in the audience]'' You do not matter, you do not matter, you do not matter. None of you matter. What you want doesn't matter. <hr width=50%/> [after commercial break] :'''CM Punk''': So I stand here on the first Raw of 2013 your WWE Champion, and I promise you in one years time, I will stand in this ring on the first Raw of 2014 still your WWE Champion. What fuels me is your constant disappointment in your self-appointed superheroes to be able to drag this title away from me, and now The Rock has come back, but it's not gonna change the fact, that I am the WWE Champion. And I'm not gonna let The Rock tear down everything that I fought so hard to attain, no no no no no no no..... not at all, no, in 2011, when I defeated Alberto Del Rio for this title at Madison Square Garden, I didn't just beat Alberto Del Rio, I beat the system. And every time after that, when I beat one of your superheroes, and I don't care if it was John Cena, Ryback, Chris Jericho, Kane, Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, any of the litany of Superstars that I defeated, I wasn't just beating them, I was beating all of you. And for 414 days, that's exactly what I've done. In your face, jerks. I have beaten you. I have stomped you out under my oppressive boot and I'm gonna do the same thing to The Rock because I don't care if he's back, you all do not get to win. You are losers. You do not get to win. You do not...(The Rock theme song comes on) :'''The Rock''': The Rock had to hear it all. The Rock wanted to wait until you said everything you had to say, so the Rock knew exactly the kind of man he's dealing with at the Royal Rumble. And now it's become crystal clear to the Rock. You are straight up delusional. You keep mentioning that number 414. 414 days you've been WWE champion. That's incredible, incredible. The real number, it ain't 414, Jack. The real number that haunts your dreams is 20. 20 excuses running around your mind right now. 20 hairs standing up on your straight edge scrotum. Because you know, you know in 20 days you're gonna be defending that WWE Championship against the Rock which means in 20 days you know, the Rock knows, they know, in 20 days, time's up. :You wanted change, you wanted a revolution. You say that when you became WWE Champion, you rejected the people. No, no, no, no. The people rejected you. You talked about change, you couldn't do it. You talked about revolution, you couldn't do it. You came out and you promised everybody ice cream bars. Ice cream bars for everybody! And you couldn't even do that. You couldn't provide ice cream if the Dairy Queen, Carvel, and Cookie Puss drove an ice cream truck straight up your ass. :I want you to listen to something. Listen to something, Punk, listen. That's— voices. Voices. You claim, you claim to be the voice of the voiceless, but that's a bunch of hot garbage because here in the WWE Universe, there ain't no such thing as the voiceless. They have...they have voices. And they love to use their voice. They use it every single night. Every night they use their voices. As a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, they know something special is getting ready to happen right now. They're gonna use their voice, they're gonna chant the loudest chant you have ever heard. They're gonna chant, they're gonna chant something that is gonna follow you for the rest of your life. They're gonna chant, They're not gonna chant "respect," they're not gonna chant "best in the world," they're gonna chant exactly what you are. In three seconds they're gonna chant, "Cookie Puss, Cookie Puss." :'''Crowd''': ''[chant]'' Cookie Puss! Cookie Puss! :'''CM Punk''': Be the puppets that you are. He got you chanting about ice cream the same way I did a year and a half ago. Congratulations. They still don't get to win. You don't get to win. :'''The Rock''': They don't get to win? They don't get to win? Oh, they've already won! They've already won. See, that's something you fail to realize. They've already won. They won the moment the Rock woke up this morning at 4:00 AM. The Rock woke up this morning at 4:00 AM. He sent out his early morning tweet to the world. Then the Rock ate his famous pancakes. Then the Rock went to the gym, clanging and banging and clanging and banging. Then the Rock got in his pickup truck and he drove up right up I-75, right through Alligator Alley! Right through Alligator Alley, so the Rock can stand right here, right here in the middle of this ring in front of you, in front of them, in front of the world and proudly say: Finally the Rock has come back to Tampa! :You see, Punk, it's not just that the Rock is back. No, it's ''why'' the Rock is back. Here's why the Rock is back. For three reasons. The Rock is back to entertain them. The Rock is back to stop you. And after ten long years, ten long years, the Rock is back to win ''[points to WWE Championship]'' that. :The Rock has watched the show. Every Monday Night RAW watching you, watching you, your deceiving, your backpedaling, your lying. The Rock would watch the TV and he'd scream at the TV "Good God Almighty, somebody tell this man they respect him, just so he shut his punk ass up. And while you're at it, somebody show this man a doctor." Is there a doctor in the house? Because a man who claims that he's straight edge, he's running around here looking exactly like Popeye on crack. Look at you. Punkeye the crackhead. All you need right now is a little thing in your mouth, a little, ''toot-toot!'' :CM Punk. CM Punk, you have one of the most creative and innovative minds in the history of the WWE. The Rock knows it. You fail to use it. You became WWE Champion and you also became the biggest jerk the world has ever seen. The Rock can look you in the eye and tell you this with all passion and with all heart. When the Rock is here, don't you ever say the people don't matter. They matter. They've always mattered. You're the one that doesn't matter. :'''CM Punk''': Oh, I matter. I'm the most successful... :'''The Rock''': IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU MATTER! The only thing that matters is that you understand, you get it straight in your head that at Royal Rumble, there ain't no way, and the Rock means NO WAY, you're gonna stop the Rock from becoming WWE Champion. :'''CM Punk''': Unlike a lot of people I'm glad you're back. I don't care what your schedule is. I don't care if you work here 16 days a year or 365 days a year. You could be Santa Claus and have his schedule, one day a year. I'd still kick your ass. I don't care how many movies you film every year. I know how hard that schedule probably is, but every time you come back, whenever you decide to grace us with your presence, I'm gonna kick your ass. Because this isn't candy land. I'm like nobody you've ever faced before. You can make fun of the color of my t-shirt and you can talk about pie and you can sing songs and you can rhyme, and you can do your tired, lame-ass schtick. I just want you to know that come Royal Rumble, and you have about three weeks to realize this, I'm gonna kick your ass 'cause I'm the best in the world. I'm the best thing going today. I'm the best guy you've ever stepped foot in the ring with. And you need to understand, congratulations, Rock, you just graduated from the kiddie table, but you just bit off more than you can chew. You're playing little league with your little insults and your rhymes and your "millions and millions" and your "finallys". And I'm in the big leagues and I'm swinging for the fence. You need to understand that your little jabs and your insults, it's all kiddie games. You can't leave a mark on the Champ's face. Come Royal Rumble, understand, when you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with God. :'''The Rock''': You may think that the Rock is boxing with God. But the Rock knows for a fact you are going one-on-one with the Great One. Don't you think... don't you think for one single, solitary second that the Rock doesn't know how bad you are, how dangerous you are, how tough you are. The Rock knows that. 414 days. The Rock knows the last time we were in the middle of this ring you hit the Rock with a GTS and you knocked him out cold. Cold as a block of ice. The Rock didn't forget it. You hurt the Rock. You embarrassed the Rock. He said it before, he'll say it again. In 20 days, time's up. :But here's the thing. This is what the Rock wants you to do— from now until then. The Rock wants you to go home and think about the next 20 days. As a matter of fact, the Rock wants you to go home and look in the mirror. As a matter of fact, the Rock wants you to go home, look in the mirror and strip naked. That's what the Rock wants you to do. Go ahead and look at yourself. Don't concentrate on your Cookie Puss. Turn around and look at your backside. Turn around, look at your backside and let's try and find a small space on this body that's not covered in ugly tattoos because the Rock wants you to get two more tattoos. Some more tattoos. Here's the thing. Go ahead, on your left butt cheek the Rock wants you to get a tattoo of a big, fat M&M. And then add a Snickers, a Milky Way, a Mounds. You can't have an Almond Joy because unlike you, Almond Joys actually have nuts. And then... and then on your right butt cheek, this is what the Rock wants you to do. The Rock wants you to get a tattoo of the Rock's size 15 shoe, so you will have a lifetime reminder of how badly the Rock is gonna kick your candy ass at Royal Rumble. === January 14 === :''[The Rock has an Eric Clapton song for Vickie Guerrero]'' :'''The Rock''': Late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear. :She puts on her makeup. She brushes her short, black hair :And then she'll ask me, "Do I look alright?" :And I said, "No biatch! You look [[w:Wonderful Tonight|horrible tonight]]." :You abuse all your powers. Waste everybody's time. :You dress like a hooker... not the expensive kind. :So get your ass to the airport, take a one-way flight, :Because biatch, you look horrible tonight. :I said biatch, you look horrible tonight. :'''Vickie Guerrero''': Are you kidding me?!?! How dare you do that to me?! How dare you?!? :'''The Rock''': Hold on Vickie, don't go anywhere, cause we wanna sing you out. We'll sing goodbye properly ''[audience joins in]'' "We said biatch, you look horrible tonight." ''[Vickie slowly walks out]'' Houston, Texas, that is one horrible-looking beeyatch. === April 8 === :'''Josh Mathews''': How does it feel to be the new World Heavyweight Champion? :'''Dolph Ziggler''': You know, Josh, I have been too damn good for too damn long. Now I knew, I ''knew'' I just needed the right time and the right place, and I found it tonight. Now I know it's the day after, but this...''this'' is my WrestleMania moment! I'm the showoff, 'cause I'm gonna take my new championship, shine it up, and show it off. It's about damn time. :'''Fans''': DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA!! - Fans singing Fandango's theme :THANK YOU BIG SHOW - The fans when Big Show attacked Randy Orton and Sheamus :WE WANT ZIGGLER - Fans during the Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter vs Alberto Del Rio match === July 8 === :'''Bray Wyatt''': I have no followers, I have only brothers and sisters, all in the name of cause. People are sheep, you understand me? They can't lead themselves, they need to be lead. People buy and sell fear. They worship war, they crave war. But I'm not afraid of their wars. I created war! And I think it's time for the masses to wake up, wake up, WAKE UP! Wake up and look at this lie they're living in man! The world is deteriorating between their toes, and they do nothing about it. They only stand there, they whisper and wonder but never do anything about it! But I've seen it all in my dreams and in my thoughts, and above everything else, I understand. This is not the beginning, it's the end. We're here. === July 15 === :'''Paul''': You know what I'm looking at right now? I'm looking at an empty ring because in ''my'' world, you don't exist. Try this one on for size—am I lying? In 2005, WWE had no vision for you. CM Punk was a figment of Paul Heyman's imagination. And what did I do? I took you in, I befriended you, I taught you, I trained you, I ''martyred my entire career'' for you. And then we reached the holy grail together. ''We'' were the reigning, defending WWE Champion for 434 days. ''We'' were the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the past 25 years. ''We'' came within an ''inch'' of breaking the Undertaker's streak at [[WrestleMania##WrestleMania 29|WrestleMania]]. ''We'', CM Punk, ''we'' were the best in the world. And here's part of the equation you seem to forget about—without me, there is no we. Without Paul Heyman, CM Punk, you're not the best in the world. :''[To audience]'' See, you can boo that all you want, 'cause everybody's been stopping me and asking me the same question: "Paul Heyman, what happened here? Why, Paul Heyman? Why did you betray CM Punk? Paul Heyman, you are a Judas!" :Here's the truth, because I'll tell you why I have such an aversion to the truth. Because the truth is a lot harder pill to swallow, Mr. Straight Edge, than a spin on things. The truth is, you failed ''us'' when you couldn't defeat the Undertaker at WrestleMania. And when you went home, you found yourself. And CM Punk comes back to WWE...and you think you're better than me. CM Punk—better than Paul Heyman. :So I lied to you. I manipulated you. I played you because you can never claim that CM Punk dumped Paul Heyman. No, history is going to write that Paul Heyman dumped CM Punk! You didn't want a business relationship with me, you wanted to keep it personal. So I made it as personal as I could possibly make it. Come on, you know this to be true. Here's the truth—you have no family. You're estranged from your own mother and father, you have no wife, you have no children. All you have ''[indicating the crowd]'' is them. All you have is the WWE Universe. All you have is their admiration! All you have is their respect! All you have is their affirmation! Listen to them! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' CM PUNK! :'''Paul''': And all you want, all you crave, all you need in your life is the WWE Championship. You took my best friend away from me, and I took your chance at the WWE Title away from you and each and every one of them! You're gonna find out, as bad a reputation as I have in business, I'm a whole lot worse personally. And here's the kicker to it all, ''best friend, brother, business son'', man who wouldn't be my client. You made me swear on my children, but it was my children who made me see this so clear. "Daddy, why doesn't Punk listen to you like Brock listens to you? Daddy, isn't Brock going to hurt Punk? Daddy, can Punk beat Brock Lesnar?" :And if you wanna know why I double-crossed you, why I betrayed you, why I cost you your opportunity to cash in Money in the Bank and go for the WWE Title, here's the harshest truth of them all—I betrayed you because, CM Punk, you can't beat Brock Lesnar! :'''CM Punk''': Are you done? You wanna talk about the truth? I saw first-hand [[w:Money in the Bank (2013)|last night]] that the truth does hurt. And maybe I should have seen it coming, but damn it, Paul, I trusted you. And all I have to show for it now is these thirteen staples in my head. But another truth is that you know me better than anybody, and you know when I'm lying, and you know when I'm telling the truth, and you know when I want something bad enough, I am the most relentless man on the planet. And I will not stop until I get it! And the truth is, Paul, I'm gonna get you. :This time, ''I'' swear on ''your'' children that I am gonna get you. And I will get everybody that conspired against me, every single one of your associates, everybody who profited from it, everybody who had knowledge of it, anybody who enjoyed it. Your friends, your clients, your family, anybody in between the time I get my hands on you and now that steps in between you and I and opens their eyes at me, I will get my hands on and I will rip apart and I will hurt! :You want the truth? The truth is, you don't have a future, because I'm gonna burn down everything around you until you're the last man standing, and I'm gonna keep you alive just long enough to look you in the eye and hurt you worst of all! So tell me, you son-of-a-bitch! Am I lying?! :'''Paul''': No. No, you're not lying, and since you want to tip your hand and tell me I have a lack of a future, let me spell your immediate future out for you. ''[Kneels down and mocks CM Punk's opening ritual]'' IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!!! === July 29 === :'''Bray''': ''[to Kane]'' I heard you like to call yourself "the Devil's Favorite Demon." But you, sir, are ''NO DEMON!'' And the Devil? No, man...shh, shh, shh. Kane, I'd like to let you in on a little secret now. You ought to be careful who you say those things in front of, because you never know ''[whispering] who might be listening.'' FOLLOW THE BUZZARDS!!! === August 26 === :'''AJ Lee''': OMG, you guys, I just watched last night's episode of ''Total Divas'', and it was insane. Oh, my gosh. The Bellas were dealing with their obvious daddy issues, the Funkadactyls broke up and got back together again, Natalya's fiance isn't much of a man...and the other two were also there. It was great, it really was, and...it was the end of the world, and it's only Sunday nights on the E! Network! :Do you want to know what I see when I look in that ring? Honestly? A bunch of cheap, interchangeable, expendable, useless women. Women who have turned to reality television 'cause they just weren't gifted enough to be actresses. And they just weren't talented enough to be Champion. I have saved your Divas division, I have shattered glass ceilings, I have broken down doors. Why? So...so a bunch of ungrateful, stiff, plastic mannequins can waltz on through without even as much as a "thank you"? :You guys can't even go backstage and shake my hand and look me in the eye because you know that I worked my entire life to get here. I gave my life to this, and you were just handed fifteen minutes of fame! I didn't get here because I was cute or because I came from some famous wrestling family or because I ''sucked''...up to the right people. I got here because I am good. I earned this championship. And no matter how many red carpets you guys wanna walk down in your $4,000 ridiculous heels, you will never be able to lace up my Chuck Taylors. You're all worthless excuses for women, and you will never be able to touch me, and ''that'' is reality. === September 9 === :'''Michael Cole''': What is your problem with the cast of ''Total Divas''? :'''AJ Lee''': My problem with the cast of ''Total Divas'' is that they're the cast of a reality show. They are not here for this title. :'''Michael Cole''': ''[back to the match]'' The Rear View by Naomi. If she connects with that on Sunday... :'''AJ Lee''': This is what is reality, this championship. And you know what? All week long, these girls have been Tweeting about me, talking about me, yelling to .com, crying and screaming. You know why? They're complaining and IMing their every single thought because they know I'm right and I'm getting to them. :'''JBL''': Is that how fights start nowadays, you Tweet each other? :'''AJ Lee''': For them, apparently; I said what I had to say to their face. :'''Jerry''': So you have no desire to go on that reality show and really mix it up with those girls? :'''JBL''': It's certainly a big hit. :'''AJ Lee''': I have the date I won this title [https://twitter.com/WWEAJLee/status/374621087474384896/photo/1 tattooed on the back of my neck]. This is all I care about. :'''Jerry''': So...any other tattoos? :'''AJ Lee''': I think I'm a little too old for you, Jerry—I'm 26, I know you like 'em younger. === October 21 === :'''Paul Heyman''': Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! It's an execution live on WWE pay-per-view, as "The Best in the World" CM Punk straps me into the electric chair, puts the poison into my veins, lines me up in front of the firing squad and pulls the trigger himself! For the first time ever — and for the first time ever again — it will never, ever happen...as a non-participant actually gets locked inside of a cell with a man who does not spend his night fantasizing about the ''Divas''. CM Punk spends his night fantasizing and obsessing about the massacre he wants to inflict upon Paul Heyman. CM Punk wants to take me down, take me out, DRIVE ME AWAY from WWE forever! :But just like when a volcano is trapped inside of a dormant mountain, when that volcano finally erupts, ''[now screaming] and the lava — the molten lava — drips down the side of the mountain... I'm just like that lava! I'm red-hot! I'm out of control! And all of the villagers, with the lava pouring down into their houses, destroying their cars, suffocating and melting their flesh, and the villagers are going, "Run for your lives! Run for your lives! Run for your lives!" They're the ones that love and worship CM Punk! And I'm the one''...that has a different strategy. :Because I'm not all filled with emotion like CM Punk, Renee. I'm cold-hearted. And I'm calculated. And I'm in control...the same way I have controlled CM Punk all of these years. The same way I control my monster, Ryback. And CM Punk cannot get past my monster, Ryback, which means CM Punk can't get his hands on me. Which is why Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, I'm not locked in a cell with CM Punk, CM Punk is locked in a cell with me. === December 9 === :''[The WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship hanging in the ring, with twenty former World Champions standing]'' :'''Randy Orton''': Better than anyone, I know what you are capable of; but I also know what you're ''not'' capable of. Remember years ago, when you were making a name for yourself, you claimed you had ruthless aggression. Well, if you had it then, you don't have it anymore because ''if'' you did, you would've put me in the hospital last Monday night on ''Raw''. But you didn't. You couldn't do it, you didn't have the stomach, and you're gonna regret that decision for the rest of your life after this Sunday. :Now last week, John, you said that I had all the God-given natural ability in the world, but that I had gotten lazy. I did not get lazy. Sometimes, when you're that much better than all of your peers, you lack motivation, you get complacent. But John, John, fear not. I have all the motivation I need to beat your ass that Sunday at TLC ''[pointing at the titles] hanging right here!'' :You say that you don't care about being the face of the WWE, but that's...that's a lie. I know you, John. Image is everything to you. But you're gonna be the man that lost the most important match in the history of the WWE. Meanwhile... :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' YES! :'''Randy''': ''Meanwhile,'' I am the greatest Superstar of this generation or any other! Just look around you! Look at these men in this ring! Look at Mick Foley back there! Hey, Mick! I took years off of his career. I took years, literally years off of his life! Where's HBK? ''[Shawn waves from behind Triple H]'' Showstopper Shawn Michaels, Mr. WrestleMania, I've embarrassed him on multiple occasions. And there wouldn't have even had to have been a [[w:Montreal Screwjob|screwjob in Montreal]] if I was competing 16 years ago—where are you, Bret—because I would've left you laying unconscious in the middle of that ring. :John Cena, I need you to understand something. This Sunday at TLC, everything that you have worked so hard for, everything that you have fought so hard for, will come crashing down all around you. <hr width=50%/> :'''John Cena''': It's funny. I couldn't help but notice you said the word, "work." A little example, for one second. ''[Brings Daniel Bryan front and center, to the cheers and "YES!" chants of the Seattle crowd]'' Tell these people your name, please. :'''Daniel''': My name is Daniel Bryan. :'''John''': We'll get to know you a little bit more. Daniel, where are you from? :'''Daniel''': I'm from Aberdeen, Washington. :'''JBL''': Wherever that is. :'''John''': Was either your father or your mother ever a Superstar, Hall of Fame, WWE Superstar at all? Father or mother, either one. :'''Daniel''': No, my dad's a log scaler actually. :'''JBL''': What? :'''John''': So since you've been here, you've have to...''work'' for everything you've got. :'''Daniel''': Yes. :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' YES! :'''John''': ''[back to Randy]'' You hear that? The reason they cheer for him is because he works and he earns it! A guy like you has been given ''every single thing'' in the WWE! :I'm about to hit you in the face with some truth. Ever since you came to the WWE Training Center, you were untouchable. You were bulletproof. You couldn't be fired. Nobody could touch Randy Orton because ''they'' liked you. And then you get to the WWE, and what happens? You get sheltered by the best performer in the business. Nothing's changed, Randy. All do you is hide behind Triple H; all you do is hide behind Stephanie McMahon; and you got the balls to stand in this ring and say you're better that everybody here?! Say you're bigger than all of this?! :You have ''always'' blamed everybody else for your failures, you've pointed fingers, and you've made excuses. You've had behavior problems in the ring, you've had behavior problems ''outside'' the ring. And the sad thing is, the TLC match this Sunday is the biggest in WWE history. That's why everybody is here tonight. This changes the very course of the WWE. But you want these championships because you're ''selfish!'' Because you feel you deserve it! And maybe, just maybe, if you hold onto this, you can finally walk around with the rest of the Superstars and say, "Hey, guys, look. I'm finally what I was supposed to be ten years ago." :Every single time I have held either of these championships, my business card reads the same: "You want some? Come get some!" :And here's the real truth. Whether these guys in the ring like me or not, they respect me because they know it. Whether it's Triple H or Shawn Michaels in a WrestleMania match, whether it's Booker T. Hell, nobody wanted to give Dolph Ziggler a chance, and what did I do? I said, "Let's fight." Everybody said it was a bad idea to give CM Punk a championship match when he was gonna leave the WWE; all I saw was the best in the world. Hell, the ''only'' legitimate championship shot Daniel Bryan's ever had was against me, and he won! ''[Turns to Daniel]'' So I'll say it here in front of your hometown. If I win on Sunday, ''[shakes his hand]'' I look forward to the rematch. A ''fair'' rematch. :You see, that's what being a champion is all about—a certain level of respect. And last week, I wasn't gonna take you out. I just wanted to make a statement that when the chips are down, I can be just as brutal as you. So right now, I'm gonna make one more statement because I know exactly what this means. ''[Sticks out his hand]'' This Sunday will be physical and it will be brutal, and I will be at my very best. I just hope you are too, because after this Sunday, the last thing anyone is gonna wanna deal with is just another Randy Orton excuse. Good luck on Sunday, you're gonna need it. === December 30 === :'''Bray Wyatt''': ''[to a beaten-down Daniel Bryan]'' This is where our story ends. I have no mercy left to give! It could've been different, it could've been better, it could've been ''perfect!'' No, this is your fault. I'm gonna punish you. I want you to open your eyes. ''[Pulls Daniel by the hair]'' Open your eyes and look at your dismay! Open your eyes, Bryan! This is the end. :'''Daniel''': You're right. :'''Bray Wyatt''': Say it again. Say that again. :'''Daniel''': You're right. :'''Bray Wyatt''': Say it again! Say it again! Get up and say it again! Say it! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' NO! :'''Bray Wyatt''': ''[indicating the mic]'' You want this? ''[Bray hands it to Daniel]'' Say it! :'''Daniel''': You're right. You were always right. No matter how many matches I won, no matter how loud these people cheered for me, you were always right. The machine...the machine would never let me win. No matter how loud you people chanted. You chanted "YES!" in every building I've ever been to, and they don't care. I'm yours. Let me join the Family. :''[Daniel crawls to Bray. Bray picks up Daniel, kisses him on the forehead, and hits him with Sister Abigail.]'' :'''Bray Wyatt''': Remember, Bryan, this is forever. This is going to change everything! == 2014 == === March 3 === :'''Paul Heyman''': ''[on the Chicago crowd chanting "CM PUNK!"]'' I believe he deserves louder than that! :'''Fans''': ''[chanting]'' CM PUNK! :''[Paul sits in the middle of the ring]'' :'''Paul''': I came here tonight to tell the story of a Paul Heyman guy. A Paul Heyman guy that was never truly wanted in WWE; a Paul Heyman guy that they thought was too small to main-event WrestleMania; a Paul Heyman guy that didn't have the right corporate look; a Paul Heyman guy that had too many tattoos; a Paul Heyman guy that would rebel against the current system, against the authority, against the first family to such a degree that they didn't want him in WWE from day one, and they don't want him in WWE right now. I came here tonight to tell you the story of a Paul Heyman guy that had the balls to say what nobody else had the balls to say. I came here tonight to tell you about a Paul Heyman guy that was born in, raised in and still lives in Chicago. My name is Paul Heyman, and, ladies and gentlemen, this is my pipe bomb about CM Punk...who is not here this evening. :And here's the biggest part of my pipe bomb. ''[crowd chants louder]'' Hey, if you're looking for me to disagree with you, I'm sorry, I don't. No one is more disappointed that he can't see CM Punk perform in this ring tonight than I am. No one. Because if CM Punk were here tonight, he would be doing exactly what he always claimed to do, he would be proving his detractors wrong and he would be showing the entire WWE Universe that he is the best in the world. :So what really happened? Why isn't CM Punk here tonight? Why won't anyone talk about CM Punk any more? Because there is a finger to point around here, there is someone to blame, there is someone to hold accountable why CM Punk just wouldn't just wouldn't put up with it anymore. And ladies and gentlemen, there comes a time where you have to risk your own job security and point that finger of blame; and tonight, in this very ring, I point the blame for the fact that CM Punk is not here tonight, I point that finger at each and every single one of you! :Oh, you can boo me all you want. The truth hurts, doesn't it? This is why I've always found it so much easier in life to lie. People accept lies so much easier, but the truth does sting just a little bit, doesn't it? The fact is, when CM Punk was with me, CM Punk was the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the past twenty-five years. I provided CM Punk the bosom from which his soul could be nourished. And then, then, ''you'' took him away from me. You made CM Punk ''your'' hero, you said you would give CM Punk ''your'' love, ''your'' affection, ''your'' respect, ''your'' affirmation. And how far did it get you? You didn't just take CM Punk away from me, you took CM Punk away from yourselves. :I don't just blame each and every single one of you, I blame someone else as well: I blame the Undertaker. Because this entire downward spiral began when we couldn't beat the Streak at last year's WrestleMania. And if anyone wants to carry a message to the Undertaker, carry this: Paul Heyman wants revenge. So how do you get revenge against the Undertaker? How do you kill what's already dead? The fact is, I want to see the Streak taken away from the Undertaker. And there's only one man on the face of the planet that can do it. I want that Streak beaten, I want the Undertaker stripped of the streak, I want the streak conquered. And there's only one man that can conquer that Streak, ''[Paul stands up]'' and he's my best friend in the world. He is the conqueror, he is the beast incarnate, Brock Lesnar! === March 10 === :'''Bray Wyatt''': ''[to Hulk Hogan and John Cena]'' I have always been fascinated with pride. It is my favorite sin. It has the power to blind even the strongest men, even those who claim to be immortal. Hey kids, take your vitamins and say your prayers! All praise be to the virtue of hustle, loyalty, and respect, as if they can do you any good. :You are both liars, and your foolish pride allows you to prey upon the weak and fill them up with this hope. But hope is dead, as will be your legacy, John. I can see it in your eyes. You don't get it. And how could you possibly get something that you can't comprehend?! But I'll lay it out for you, John, right now. If you look up at me, you will see a friend; if you look down at me, you will see an enemy; but if you look at me square in the eyes, you will see a god. :'''John Cena''': Do you even listen to all that weird crap you're saying? You just said pride was the fall of man, and then you follow up by saying when I look at you, I should see a god. I look at you and I don't see a god. I see a homeless dude that spent too many years ''[singing] wastin' away again in Margaritaville, lookin' for his lost shaker of salt.'' :Oh, no, no, no, you didn't find any salt. You found two goons, a tiki torch, and a rocking chair from Cracker Barrel. And now you think you can waltz out here in a Hawaiian shirt and a fedora and be somebody? Well, I say prove it. ===April 7=== :'''Paul''': Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and it is the greatest privilege of my career to serve as the advocate for the Beast Incarnate, ''Brock Lesnar!'' The conqueror of the Undertaker's Streak, a streak that lasted nearly a quarter of a century. A quarter of a century that ended in three seconds at the hands of the conqueror, Brock Lesnar! :'''Crowd''': ''[chant]'' BULLSHIT! :'''Paul''': I understand how you feel. You're in shock, which shows me your lack of intelligence, because we hate to say we told you so, but ladies and gentlemen, ''WE TOLD YOU SO!!!'' My client stood before you with a shirt. Now, here it is, and I know how difficult it is for you to read, but it says, ''[pointing across Brock's shirt]'' "Eat, sleep, break the Streak"! And you had the temerity to doubt the strategy of the greatest manager in sports-entertainment history, Paul Heyman, or the physical credentials of the most dominant athlete in WWE ever, Brock Lesnar! Hey, let's get one thing straight. Brock Lesnar is not here to put smiles on people's faces; Brock Lesnar is here to shock the WWE Universe and put tears in the eyes of children. :But now that you know all the headlines, let’s go a little bit off-page and shoot from the hip, shall we? Five seconds after walking through the curtain at WrestleMania, the Undertaker collapsed, and all the... ''[turns to audience]'' Oh, I know you don't want to hear this story, do you; it's a little too real for you. So as all the paramedics and the doctors are panicking, and there's chaos backstage, the most ruthless man to ever have the pleasure of meeting me, the chairman of the board, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, left WrestleMania and rode to the hospital with the Undertaker. The Undertaker is being treated today for a severe concussion. He came ''[holds fingers about an inch apart]'' this close to a broken neck, this close to a cracked skull, and the greatest thing the Undertaker ever did was not getting his shoulder up on that third F-5 because, if he did, he ''would'' have had a broken neck, Brock Lesnar ''would'' have cracked his skull. Brock Lesnar was prepared to beat on the Undertaker to such a degree that the complexion of this television show would have changed tonight because Brock wasn't done until the Streak was dead. :Here's what really gets to me. When the match was over, ''[points to announcers]'' {{W|John Layfield|John "Bradshaw" Layfield}} and {{W|Michael Cole (wrestling)|those two}} {{W|Jerry Lawler|other things}} that call themselves announcers stood up and gave a standing ovation along with 80,000 other people in the Superdome—''Super''dome, Hogan, not ''Silver''dome—and gave a standing ovation to the Undertaker. Gave a standing ovation to the guy that lost the fight. Here's what I don't understand. Brock Lesnar always taught me, in every fight, there's a winner and a loser. Well last night, the Undertaker was a ''loser,'' and the winner, whether you like it or not, was ''BROCK LESNAR!!!'' :But since this is supposed to be the wildest crowd of the year, you should all feel empowered because each and every single one of you is exactly like every single member of that WWE locker room. You're all a bunch of wannabes. When Brock Lesnar walked through that curtain last night, nobody gave him a standing ovation. Everybody looked down. Do you know why? Because nobody respected Brock Lesnar, which is fine for Brock because Brock respects nobody. He barely tolerates me, and he certainly doesn't respect someone who's gonna fly in from around the world to sit here on the Monday after WrestleMania trying to get noticed on worldwide TV! :So notice ''this'', okay? There's a lot of people in the back who sit there and say, "I could've been the one to jump from the ring to the Octagon." But Daniel Bryan never fought in an Octagon, John Cena never fought in an Octagon, the Undertaker never fought in an Octagon! You know why?! They're all wannabes; Brock Lesnar is the one! There's a lot of people who wanted to be the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Champion, the Ultimate Fighting Champion, the Undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion. The Rock never pulled that off, Hulk Hogan never pulled that off, Stone Cold Steve Austin never pulled that off. Know why? They're all wannabes; Brock Lesnar is the one! :And then you've got a bunch of guys in the locker room last night coming up to me saying, ''[mocking] "Hey, Paul, ''I'' could've been the one to break the Streak. I could've beaten the Undertaker."'' So why didn't you? Randy Orton didn't break the Streak, Shawn Michaels didn't break the Streak, Triple H didn't break the Streak. Know why? They're all wannabes; Brock Lesnar is the one because Brock Lesnar is the 1 in 21-1. :I'm sorry, are you saying "What?" to me :'''Crowd''': WHAT?! :'''Paul''': Oh, I forgot who you are, so I'll say it slowly for you. ''Brock...Lesnar...is...the...one...in...twenty...one...and...one!'' :Ladies and gentlemen, there are WWE Hall of Famer''s'', there are Legend''s'', and there are WWE Superstar''s'', and the key to that is that they're all ''plural''. They're all lumped together. And then there's only ''one'' that stands head and shoulders above the rest on a platform of his own. There is only ''one'' Beast Incarnate, there's only ''one'' conqueror of the Streak, and there's only ''one'' Brock Lesnar. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jim Hellwig AKA Ultimate Warrior''': Speak to me, Warriors! As I thought about what I was gonna say this evening, it's been hard for me to find the words. ''[Pulls a face-paint mask out of his pocket and puts it on]'' Well, then, you shut up, Warrior, and let ''me'' do the talking. No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath, and if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them bleed deeper and something than larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever. You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior. In the back, I see many potential legends, some of them with Warrior spirits, and you will do the same for them. You will decide if they live with the passion and intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends as well. I am Ultimate Warrior, you are the Ultimate Warrior fans, and the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever! === June 9 === :'''Dean Ambrose''': The Shield was untouchable. We will go down in the history books as one of the greatest groups in sports entertainment ever. We dominated WWE, we beat everybody, including Evolution. But we weren't healthy. We had a cancer inside of us, little did we know. And that's cancer's name... that cancer's name was Seth Rollins. :History is full of people like you, Seth. Everybody in this building knows somebody like you, Seth. The kind of guy who would stab his brother in the back. Suck up, sell out to The Authority. When I get the opportunity to rearrange your face -- which I will -- your nose isn't going to be here anymore, it's going to be over here by your ear. I say ear because you're only going to have one left. I'm going to rip your dirty stinking hair out by the roots. I'm going to stuff it in your mouth. There'll be plenty of room from where your teeth used to be. :Seth Rollins... my brother... you are scum. And we are looking forward to what that scum has to say tonight. We want you stand out here in this ring in front of the whole world and lie through your teeth. We want you to stand out here in the middle of this ring in front of the whole world and we want them to hear Triple H's words coming out of your mouth. We're going to listen to every word of it, and then we're going to beat the hell out of you. :'''Roman Reigns''': Seth, you committed the most unforgivable sin. You're the scum of the earth! There's things you don't do in life: You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't piss in the wind, and you don't ever stab your brothers in the back. But you're only part of the problem. The other parts are Randy Orton and Triple H. Randy Orton, he runs around here and he thinks everybody owes him something. He thinks he's the face of the company. When I get my hands on you Randy, you're gonna be the ass of this company! :And when I'm done with you, I'm coming for you Triple H. "The King of Kings" ooooooh. :'''Dean Ambrose''': Ooooooh. :'''Roman Reigns''': We're gonna have our own Game Of Thrones. BELIEVE THAT! <hr width=50%/> :'''Michael Cole''': Seth, Welcome. It's been a lot of...a lot of talk over the last week about why... :'''Seth Rollins''': Michael, let me let me stop you before you get started here because I don't...''[crowd booing]'' Look I don't get it. I don't understand what all the controversy you talking about is all about. I mean are we just talking about what I did last week? Is that the whole deal? Because to me, that wasn't a big deal. I was just doing what was best for business. What was best for MY business. The Shield Michael. The greatest faction in the history of WWE, created by me. You don't think I have the right to destroy my own creation? It takes an architect, a mastermind to put together a faction like the Shield. Do you think Dean Ambrose is in anyway responsible for that? Dean Ambrose is a lunatic. Given a week to his own devices, he's face down in a ditch. And Roman Reigns...the golden boy...you'll never see anger and fury in a man like you've seen in Roman Reigns. But without someone to harness that, to control it, he's nothing. He's worthless. Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are nothing without me. They owe me every ounce of success they have ever achieved! :'''Michael Cole''': Seth, many people will argue that the Shield was about three individuals who came together to form an awesome team, not just about one man. :'''Seth Rollins''': You know, I guess we'll find out later tonight when the uh...the pathetic remnants of the Shield have their last hurrah out here against the Wyatt Family. But let me ask you a question Michael. Why is this such a surprise? I took the Shield to the very top, as high as we can go, we beat everybody alright. We conquered the world Michael. At Payback, we beat Evolution in a clean sweep. And from every experience in life, you should learn something. You know what I have learned from Evolution? I learned that to be success in this business, you have to evolve. You have to adapt! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' YOU SOLD OUT! :'''Seth Rollins''': No no no no no I bought in. I bought in to the evolution of Seth Rollins. And another thing, another thing ''[points to Michael Cole]'' you won't admit, ''[points to crowd]'' that none of you will admit. It took a lot of guts to do what I did last week. And everybody is fixated on the fact that I stabbed my "brothers" in the back. That I betrayed my "brothers". And maybe to Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, we were brothers. But to me, they were just business partners. And I severed a business relationship. You know, for two years every night, I came out here and I put my fist out and I say Believe In The Shield. And every night, what I meant is what I'm going to tell you right now, is that you, and everybody else have better start believing in Seth Rollins! :So that's it, Michael. That's all you wanted to hear right? Oh oh wait wait wait I heard earlier tonight, I was watching Dean Ambrose say that he was gonna let me say my piece and then they were gonna come out here and kick the hell out of me. Well...''[throws the chair out the ring]'' I said my piece! === July 7 === :'''Paul''': Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I'm the one behind the 1 in 21-1. I serve as the advocate for ''Brock Lesnar,'' who conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania. I am also pleased and proud to represent... :'''Cesaro''': Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul, you can't talk to those people in English. They're French Canadians. But they don't speak French. No, they speak Quebecois. The French can't stand them, neither can the rest of Canada, ''et tout le monde sait que les Québécois sont pourris.'' === July 21 === :''[After Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston lose their match]'' :'''Xavier Woods''': Everybody listen. I need you to pay attention to what I am about to say. This is exactly what I have been talking about. You cannot move ahead by shaking hands, kissing babies, singing and dancing like a puppet! You cannot move ahead by always doing what you're told. Now...this is our time, this is our place. It is time for us to find focus. It is up to us to find order. Together, it is our time to find purpose. Because we do not ask any longer. Now...we take. <hr width=50%/> :'''Paul''': ''[to Triple H]'' Mr. COO, you...you know how much respect I have for you, sir. I...I hate to point out the obvious, but "Plan A" just...just isn't working with Randy Orton, not while Roman Reigns is around. And...I mean, "Plan B," I like "Plan B," Seth Rollins is great, but every time Seth Rollins is gonna try to cash in that Money in the Bank briefcase, Dean Ambrose is going to stop him. Which is why, Triple H, I think the Authority has the uncomfortable decision right now to agree with me that you need to make the dangerous choice of implementing "Plan C." <hr width=50%/> :'''Paul''': Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and my client, ''BROCK LESNAR'' conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania! Which is why, at this moment, my client hereby officially announces his intention to conquer John Cena and take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Now, my client officially acknowledges this divide that permeates through the WWE Universe. There are those who wear their green t-shirts and their pump-up sneakers, and they scream with great passion their love and adulation for their hero by saying at the top of their lungs, "let's go, Cena!" And there are those who offer the contrarian opinion, and whose mommies don't tuck them into bed at night, and they will say with great fervor and passion, "Cena sucks!" :Now, it doesn't matter to my client which side of the fence you want to ride on. This malpracticing "Doctor of Thuganomics" is in for the beating of a lifetime. I don't just stand out here and spew hype and hyperbole; I exploit historical facts to shove my points down your throats. To wit: I offer you what happened the last time my client, Brock Lesnar, zeroed in on someone and decided to give them a beating. :''[Shows footage of Brock Lesnar defeating the Undertaker at WrestleMania]'' :You know, for years, everybody said, "I want to be the one to beat the Undertaker and snap the Streak." But that wasn't good enough for Brock Lesnar. At WrestleMania, my client, Brock Lesnar, gave such a violent beating to the Undertaker that Vince McMahon had to ride in the ambulance to the hospital with the Undertaker because even our heartless chairman was concerned for a dead man's well being and life. :Oh, John Cena? That same beating awaits you. And please don't confuse my client with some stereotypical villain that comes out here and say, "John, you can escape this beating by giving up your title and laying it down at my feet." Brock Lesnar makes you no such offer. John Cena, you can't escape this beating. :At SummerSlam, my client, Brock Lesnar, will take John Cena down! Brock Lesnar will punch John Cena's face in! John Cena, you are going to be hurt by Brock Lesnar! Brock Lesnar is going to injure John Cena! Brock Lesnar is going to ''mangle'' John Cena! And then, and ''only'' then, Brock Lesnar is going to F-5 John Cena and strip John Cena of the dignity of being the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the same way Brock Lesnar stripped the Undertaker of his dignity and exposed the Streak as just being a myth; the same myth that Brock Lesnar hears every week on television when John Cena is referred to as being the greatest WWE champion of all time. Fifteen World Titles in 10 years. Now that sounds like something worth conquering. :I pledge allegiance to the greatness of the conquerer who stands before me, and to his dominance, for which I stand, one Cenation, under John, now divisible, with no more hustle, loyalty, or respect for all! :Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I'm the one behind the 1 in 21-1, and at SummerSlam, my client, Brock Lesnar, will beat John Cena and become the WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world! === August 11 === :'''Paul''': He's a 15-time Champ, and he likes to have his fun. :But not at your expense, so let us school you, son. :No, we're not from West Newbury; no we can't hip hop like you. :My client is The Conqueror, I'm just Brock's advocating Jew. :You see, my name is Paul Heyman, and my client is The Beast, :And on the 17th of August, on your title, he shall feast. :You don't like Paul Heyman guys, you think their attitude's too smug. :You gonna beat Brock's ass, 'cause you the doctor of the thugs? :I mean, you've beaten all the best, but now Lesnar's on your plate. :You say your time is now. Brock says your calendar's out-of-date. :So here's some free advice, with SummerSlam drawing near, :Get it out your damn system when you say, "the champ is here." :Because we're six days away from the West Coast's biggest arena :Where my client, Brock Lesnar, will conquer John Cena. === August 18 === :'''Paul''': Um...ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I'm the one behind the one who conquered the one who thought he was the one to beat the 1 in 21-1. Last night at SummerSlam, my client didn't just beat, didn't just victimize; my client conquered the titleholder, which affords me, Paul Heyman, the opportunity to proclaim myself the advocate for the brand new, ''reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World, Brock Lesnar!'' :Now let's get down to business, shall we? My client has authorized me to let you know a secret that I don't even think the Authority wants revealed tonight, which is, ladies and gentlemen, John Cena...is not here this evening. Aw, don't get me wrong. John Cena would be here if John Cena could be here, but John Cena can't be here because John Cena can't physically appear, and that's all thanks to my client, ''Brock Lesnar!'' :'''Brock''': I love it when you say that. Say that again please. :'''Paul''': ''Brock Lesnar!'' Now, I have been in this industry in one form or another since I was 14 years old, and I have never in my life seen a superstar take an ass-kicking the likes that John Cena took last night at the hands of my client, Brock Lesnar. Now, we're not just talking ''any'' superstar; we're talking a ''top'' superstar. And not just ''any'' top superstar; we're talking ''the'' top superstar. The top superstar of a generation. And just to put this into historical perspective for you, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's run on top, legendary. How long? Three years? Three and a half years, maybe? Stone Cold Steve Austin's run on top. How long? Four years? Four and a half years? There's been one constant in the WWE Title picture, there's been one WrestleMania main event they're guaranteeing almost every year, there's been one ''man'' in WWE for the past ten years, and that man has been John Cena! And you have to give credit where credit's due. Any man in that unprecedented position, after thirty seconds last night, would've just turned the title over to Brock Lesnar; would've given up, would've tapped out, would've survived to fight another day. But no, not John Cena. :And as I stood right here ''[pointing to the ringside floor]'', with the best seat in the house, and I witnessed the suffering on John Cena's face, it was at that moment, Brock, that I truly understood. 'Cause we'd never gotten it before, but I got it last night. I could never understand why so many people who love John Cena, love him with such a passion. My own children are John Cena fans, which really pisses me off to begin with, but now I get it! Now I understand why! 'Cause John Cena was taking this heinous, vicious, violent beating, and he kept coming back for more, and coming back for more, and coming back for more, and coming back for more, 'cause when John Cena says, "never give up," John Cena means never give up. John Cena, you earned my respect and my admiration to the point where, if I had time on my hands, I would love to make you a Paul Heyman guy. Yeah. Hey, you can knock me all you want, I'll tell you to the straight. If they wrote ''The History of WWE'' right before Brock Lesnar pinned John Cena last night, John Cena would go down as the single greatest fighting champion in WWE history. :Unfortunately, my client, Brock Lesnar, does not share these opinions! In Brock Lesnar's universe, John Cena walked into this ring a hero, and left a martyr. And in Brock Lesnar's universe, the credo that martyrdom equals street cred does not apply. And even if it did apply, he who dies with the most street cred wins? ''[Imitates buzzer]'' Wrong answer. In Brock Lesnar's universe, he who dies with the most street cred ''still dies!'' Dies at the hands of the Conqueror, Brock Lesnar, just like the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania ''died'' at the hands of Brock Lesnar! Just like the Undertaker's career ''died'' at the hands of Brock Lesnar! Just like this whole stupid concept of hustle, loyalty, and respect ''died'' at the hands of Brock Lesnar! Just like the Cenation ''died'' and was conquered by Brock Lesnar! :And here's the problem. The same fate awaits any man that walks into the Beast's lair and tried to take away from Brock Lesnar the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. And it's almost an unfair fight to begin with, because anybody that steps into this ring is just a challenger. Just a man. My client is not a man. My client is the Beast, and this beast will lay wreckage to any man that tries to take that title away from him, which means the same beating awaits, which makes every single title defense by Brock Lesnar not only must-see, but can't-miss. :Now, if you're too cheap or too stupid or too blind or too ignorant to spend $9.99 on the WWE Network, let me tell you what happened last night. My client, Brock Lesnar, imposed his will on John Cena, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is what they call basic Brockanomics. Eat, sleep, suplex, repeat. Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! Suplex, repeat! :Brock Lesnar lives by the motto, Eat, sleep, suplex, repeat! Eat, sleep, F-5, repeat! Eat, sleep, victimize, repeat! Eat, sleep, beat, repeat. Eat...sleep...conquer...''[waves hand in front of face like...]'' John Cena. === October 20 === :''[Dean Ambrose watches ''See No Evil 2'' and slowly eats popcorn when he gets startled by John Cena]'' :'''John Cena''': What are you doing? :'''Dean''': Doing some research for our match tonight. ''See No Evil 2'' starring Kane; this guy is sick, twisted, sadistic. :'''John Cena''': This is...this is what you do? This is your plan? This is your strategy, movie night? :'''Dean''': See, me and you are kinda like a comic book movie. It's like Superman teaming up with Batman. You stand for truth, justice, and the American way, nice American square jaw on you. I like to beat up scumbags. I've been known to wear a cape. But really, we just don't mix. :'''John Cena''': What are you even... we have a match tonight, and the three people in that match are gonna do whatever they can to take both of us out of commission before Hell in a Cell. How are we gonna handle it? :'''Dean''': Relax. This might surprise you, but even though I am undefeated in contract-on-a-pole matches, handicapped street fights are my specialty, so here's how we're going to handle it. We're gonna throw punches at anything that moves, and if they insist on taking us down, we're gonna take as many of them down with us as we can. That's how we ''handle'' it. :'''John Cena''': I like it. I like it. The whole Batman thing...does not fit you. You...are much more like the Joker. :'''Dean''': ''[after John leaves]'' [[The Dark Knight|Why so serious?]] === December 8 === :'''AJ Lee''': ''[accepting the Diva of the Year Slammy]'' Okay, so, three years ago, I promised all of you I would redefine the term "diva," and I am very proud to say that I sure have done that. You can be a nerd, you can be a tomboy, and you can still be the longest-reigning Divas Champion of all time. So I hope that means that next year, this award is won by [[w:Bayley (wrestler)|Bayley]] or [[w:Sasha Banks|Sasha]] or [[w:Charlotte Flair|Charlotte]] or [[w:Emma (wrestler)|Emma]] or [[w:Paige (wrestler)|Paige]]. Any of those girls can be next in line for the throne, but I'm not done being queen. And Sunday, I will take back what is mine, and I will become the four-time Divas Champion. == 2015 == === March 9 === :'''Paul Heyman''': Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and all day long they've been trying to get me to preview this video but ''instead'' I decided to come out here live and watch this video along with every single one of you. :''[the video is an interview bewteen Roman Reigns and Byron Saxton, with footage of his career through NXT and WWE, as well as previous facings with Heyman.]'' :'''Paul Heyman''': Mhm, okay. So Roman Reigns makes some interesting points to which, ladies and gentlemen, I shall retort "Here comes the pain". The reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World: ''BROCK LESNAR!'' :''[Lesnar's music hits as he comes down to the ring. The announcers discuss about Reigns' chances to beat Lesnar.]'' :'''Paul Heyman''': Now, I understand what a fan-pleasing video that was, but to my client, that was nothing short of sheer propaganda. If it came out of the tail end of a bull, it wouldn't smell any different. ''[mocking] "Oh, Roman Reigns was the stand-out in NXT who went on to become the badass of The Shield, where he was also a stand-out, and then he defeated 29 other WWE Superstars at the Royal Rumble to become the #1 Contender, and even defended his right to main-event WrestleMania when he beat Daniel Bryan at WWE Fastlane. Yaaaay!"'' :I've known that family since I was 14 years old, and I already stooged this off to my client. Let me tell you the truth about Roman Reigns because the WWE Universe likes to live vicariously through its own fantasies: that propaganda was pure fantasy. The truth is, when Roman Reigns was 9 years old, his father, who's one generation removed from cannibals, used to take Roman and his bunch of savage cousins down to all the bars in Pensacola where the local football players would hang out, and they would point out the football players and say: "One man left standing, don't bother coming home for dinner tonight." Roman Reigns' uncle would them take him down to the beach in Pensacola with his other criminal cousins and point out all the muscleheads and say, "One musclehead left standing, don't bother coming home tonight. Take him out with a punch. Take him out with a tackle." Two moves that you see him do today. :And the same applies at WrestleMania: "Roman Reigns, go to WrestleMania and beat Brock Lesnar for that title, or don't bother calling yourself a member of this family." It's a powerful, profound motivation for any young man—let alone the baddest member of that family—except for one problem: Roman Reigns, you will not beat Brock Lesnar for that title at WrestleMania. Even more so, Roman Reigns, I promise you this: Brock Lesnar will not lose the title to you at WrestleMania. :And just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean the whole world's not against us. I know what goes on behind the scenes. So if The Authority has it in their head that somehow get that title away from Brock Lesnar and place it on Roman Reigns, so Seth Rollins can cash-in Money In The Bank on Roman Reigns—'cause he ain't man enough to cash it in on Brock Lesnar—and that's what they're thinking, because Seth Rollins will be cheaper as champion than Brock Lesnar, let me spell this one out for you: If anybody has it in their heads to pull a Montreal Screwjob on Brock Lesnar for the title at WrestleMania, my client assures me any single person involved in a Montreal scenario will not leave that stadium alive! :You see, while Roman Reigns is coming in to WrestleMania with the mindset that he wants to stay a member of his family, even if he has to bite Brock Lesnar's face off, Brock Lesnar can get his face stitched up, but the beating, the sheer beating that Brock Lesnar's going to give Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, it's gonna make every single one of you respect Roman Reigns, because when they're wheeling Roman Reigns down the street after the beating that he takes from Brock Lesnar, each and everyone of you is going to say: "Yo, that's one badass Samoan. He took an ass-kicking like nobody else I've ever seen." When Roman Reigns is too— ''[Heyman's microphone is shut off. He walks around in the ring and begins clapping at the microphone.]'' :You know what I really like the most about this? I like how [[w:Wizard of Oz (character)|Oz]] behind the curtain or in the production truck likes to shut off my microphone, instead of coming down to the ring and take it out of my hand... Instead of someone in the position of authority around here comes down to the ring and takes that title away from Brock Lesnar. And if you would like to take the title away from Brock Lesnar: Go ahead! Grab a leg! Take your best shot! Because if Brock Lesnar wants to spend his summer unifying the WWE and the UFC Title, ''THAT'S WHAT HE'S GONNA DO!'' ''[The mic cuts off again]'' Hey, censor this one: If Brock Lesnar decides to go to Las Vegas and smack around Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao—''[talking to Lesnar]'' by the way, do you realize that if you combine Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, together they're still ten pound shy of you?—that's what Brock Lesnar is going to do! Here's a message for everyone to keeps on shutting off my damn microphone: This title no longer belongs to WWE! This title belongs to Brock Lesnar! It's his! ''AND HE'S NOT GIVING IT BACK!'' :In 2002, they took a rookie and they put him in the ring with The Rock, 'cause they thought The Rock would make headlines beating a former NCAA Division I Heavyweight Champion, and that rookie set Dwayne Johnson off to Hollywood. In 2014, they took this accomplished athlete, the first man to hold the NCAA Division I Heavyweight Championship, the UFC Title and the WWE Title, and they fed him to the unbeatable Undertaker at WrestleMania, thinking he be the 0 in 22-0, and he didn't just kill the streak: he damn nearly killed The Undertaker, to where now Bray Wyatt has to resurrect him. At SummerSlam, one beast suplexed John Cena out of the main event in WrestleMania. So here's my question, ladies and gentlemen, 'cause it's all the same answer. Who did that to The Rock? Who did that to The Undertaker? Who did that to John Cena? And what the hell do you think he's going to do to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania? The answer to these questions is this: Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar: ''The reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World'', The Beast, The Conqueror, and the one that's gonna leave Roman Reigns flat on his back at WrestleMania... ''BROCK LESNAR!'' === March 30 === :'''Paul''': Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I am the advocate for the most non-PG ass-kicker of the PG era, ''BROCK LESNAR!'' So let's talk about it, let's get it out of the way. What happened last night at WrestleMania? My client, as we told you he would do, laid a beating on a Samoan badass the likes of which no one had ever seen before at WrestleMania. My client took his hands, put them on the #1 challenger for the World Title and did nothing but suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex, suplex him right through the canvas! ''[The crowd chants, "Suplex City!" which draws a laugh from Brock]'' Or, as my client Brock Lesnar said, "Suplex City, bitch!" :So now, Brock Lesnar is bitch-slapping Roman Reigns all over the ring, and what happens? What happens? This Samoan, this Samoan whose predecessors were eating human flesh, was sitting there eating the pain and liking the taste and smiling at Brock Lesnar and saying, "I'm gonna bring the same right back to you!" I will not spend my time tonight singing Roman Reigns's [''sic''] praises. I will tell you he can sink or swim on his own from here, but my client ''almost'' respects Roman Reigns. Kid, you still got a ways to go. :So then, Brock Lesnar got bored. Brock Lesnar was hungry. He wanted to go out for dinner. And Brock Lesnar says, "good night, everybody," picks Roman Reigns up on his shoulders, F-5!...And here comes slimy, disgusting, little Seth Rollins, who cashes in Money in the Bank, makes it a triple threat, Curb Stomps everyone in sight, and scores a pinfall on the challenger, not the champion, and scurries away the most undeserving WWE Champion of anybody's lifetime. ''[aside to Brock]'' I got this. :You all know my father was a prominent New York attorney, and I have apprised my client of his legal rights, that I can go to Sacramento, get an immediate injunction at the 7th Circuit Court [''sic''], I can have the decision reversed, Seth Rollins will no longer be the winner, I will tie WWE up in litigation for the next three or four months, have the title held up. Unfortunately for me, my client Brock Lesnar thinks all lawyers are scumbags, and Brock Lesnar will not file an injunction, will not go to the 7th Circuit Court, does not want to tie up WWE in litigation; my client Brock Lesnar wants to invoke his rematch clause! And ladies and gentlemen, I have been authorized to tell you, that rematch will not happen at SummerSlam, will not happen at next year's WrestleMania, will not happen at Extreme Rules, will not happen at Payback! That rematch clause is being invoked right here, right now, tonight! <hr width=50%> :'''Seth''': You know, I...I actually just spoke with Stephanie McMahon before I came out here, and I...I'm feeling kinda jet-lagged, to be honest, and...and my foot kinda hurts a little bit from Curb Stomping you and Roman Reigns last night. So...I'm a fighting champion, and I'm going to give you your rematch, just...not tonight. <hr width=50%> :'''Stephanie McMahon''': ''(after Lesnar attacks J&J Security, and F5'd Michael Cole, as well as a cameraman)'' Your actions have consequences! You're suspended indefinitely! GET OUT OF MY RING! <hr width=50%> :'''Stephanie McMahon''': ''(being interviewed by Renee Young backstage afterwards about Brock Lesnar's actions)'' You know, Brock Lesnar will get his rematch when I say he gets his rematch but, Brock Lesnar, actually, I-I think I need to hit Brock Lesnar where it hurts. I don't think suspending him is enough. Actually, I think I'm gonna have to fine Brock Lesnar. I'm gonna have to fine him for all o-of the damage, all of the property damage, the emotional distress of these employees, you know. And if Brock Lesnar thinks for just one second that he can go back to MMA as he announced on SportsCenter, he just signed a contract with WWE. And you know what that means, Renee? That means I own that son of a bitch. (leaves) === July 20 === :''[The Undertaker makes his entrance, as he attacked Brock Lesnar last night at Battleground]'' :'''The Undertaker''': I stand here tonight a relentless, remorseless, cold-blooded, vengeful grim reaper. Streaks are made to be broken. That is the painful truth, but Lesnar, you had to continuously, week after week, month after month, remind everyone of your greatest accomplishment. Now, I say, enough! You have taken what once was smoldering ashes, and turned it into a raging inferno. Last night was my true resurrection. You see Lesnar, you can't kill what won't die. Unleashed forces will now set our careers toward new destinies. And I will challenge your mortality. I will conquer what has yet to be conquered. In the end, just like all living things, be it man, or beast, you will rest in peace! === September 21 === :'''Paige''': Charlotte, she's so nice. This is all so nice. And you know what, you won the Championship yesterday, and this whole celebration is for Charlotte. But let's just think about who really made this possible, and that's me! No, shut up, Becky, shut up. This is patronizing. "Oh, I love you, daddy" and "oh my gosh, I wouldn't be here without you." Yeah, yeah, yeah, you sound like you just been inducted into the bloody Hall of Fame is what you sound like. Yes, I won the Championship too. You won it, so what? I won it on my first day. I won it twice. And you know what? Here's a little secret, champ to champ: title reigns end. And Nikki's going to get her rematch and she's going to bring her little hippie sister and her little third wheel and they're going to take that back and the Divas division is going to go back right where it was. There is no revolution, Charlotte! You are just a placeholder. No, no, no, Becky back off. You know what? You're never going to be a Divas champion. You know why? Because you're the least relevant of all of us. Let's go to Team BAD. They're all flash, no substance. Then you got Lana and Summer too busy trying to figure out who they want to climb onto next rather than the Divas division. And then you've got Nattie. Nattie, where are you? Do you even work here anymore? I can't see you, Mrs. Hart. And then you've got the Bellas. We all know the ''real'' reason they got to where they are. You all know the real reason. No, I'm not done. Stop trying to act like you are somebody because you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for [[w:Ric Flair|your old man]]. === November 9 === :'''Triple H''': I just want to take a moment to acknowledge a great champion. I want to take a moment to acknowledge The Man, Seth Rollins. See, when Steph and I chose Seth Rollins as the future of the WWE, we had extremely high hopes for what that future would be, and Seth Rollins exceeded all those expectations. :'''Crowd''': ''[chant]'' Thank you, Rollins! :'''Triple H''': That's right. Thank you, Seth Rollins, for giving back to us the faith that we had in you. Because every obstacle that was put in front of him, every opponent, Seth Rollins made his way through and retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. But on his way to becoming one of the greatest WWE Champions of all time, tragedy fell upon Seth Rollins. In Dublin, Ireland, Seth [[w:Unhappy triad|blew out his knee]]. And while Seth Rollins is still The Man, Seth Rollins, right now, is no longer the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. ''[Mixed cheers and boos from crowd]'' That creates an interesting opportunity. Who is gonna step up? Who is gonna fill that void? :A few weeks ago, a few weeks ago, we determined a new #1 Contender. A #1 Contender who was going to face Seth Rollins at Survivor Series for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. I would like to bring that man out here right now. Please welcome Roman Reigns! <hr width=50%> :'''Triple H''': ''[on the displayed Championship]'' Looks good, doesn't it? See, as of this moment, Seth Rollins is no longer the World Heavyweight Champion, and as you know, as the whole world knows by now, there is a tournament taking place that starts tonight to determine who will be the brand new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. And to me, that seems unfair. That seems unfair that Seth Rollins is no longer the World Heavyweight Champion, and it seems unfair that, while you earned the right to be the #1 Contender, it seems unfair to me that you just go back to the bottom of the pile and get thrown into this tournament and have to earn your way back up. It's terribly unfair, and the reality is, it doesn't have to be that way. It could be a lot easier. It could be a ''whole'' lot easier. You see, it could be that you don't have to enter that tournament. All those other guys could step into this ring and do battle just for the right to fight ''you'' at Survivor Series to see who becomes the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. That, in my opinion, seems much more fair. :And before you say anything, I want you to understand one thing, and I've never told you this before. But the reality of it is, back when we made Seth Rollins the future of the WWE, we strongly considered you first, and I mean ''strongly'' considered. All that time when Evolution was fighting the Shield, I was scouting. I'm always scouting, and I was looking at you. You have it all, Roman. The size, the strength, the speed, charisma, athleticism, the aggression, everything. You have everything you could want, except for one thing. Except for one thing, and that is the one thing that Seth Rollins had, was the willingness to do absolutely anything to be The Man. And that is why Seth Rollins has been the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and you have not. How'd it feel? How'd it feel, WrestleMania, after winning the Royal Rumble, after going through all those people, after finally earning that spot, for Seth Rollins to roll in there and take your dream after from you? How'd that feel, Roman? Huh? Sting a little bit? I know how that felt, it sucks. Right? You're damn right, it does. You'll never know. Could you have beaten Brock Lesnar? Maybe. Could you have been the WWE World Heavyweight Champion? You'll never know. Could you have kept this title around your waist? You'll never know because Seth Rollins had a willingness to do absolutely anything, that you did not have, and he walked out of WrestleMania as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. :And now, here you are. Here you are all these months later, and you still have all of that. All of those positives. You have dug and scratched and clawed to earn your way back to this, and you have met with wall after wall after wall. I can make those walls go away. :It doesn't have to that difficult, Roman, and I'm not asking you to do anything that you haven't already done. You've earned your spot. You've earned your spot. I'm asking you, do you want to be The Man? Because if you want to be The Man, Roman, all you have to do is be ''my'' man. :'''Roman Reigns''': So you're gonna give me everything I've already earned, and all I have to do is sell out? :'''Triple H''': "Sell-out." "Sell-out," that's an interesting word. You know what "sell-out" is? Sell-out is a word that people that don't succeed created to explain why people did what they could not do. Sell-out is a word they chant because they can never achieve what you can achieve. Don't... Roman, don't let some misguided morals ruin what you could get out of life. Are you kidding me? You think they're not gonna criticize? No matter what you do, if you get this, and I don't care how you get it, criticism comes with the gate, pal. That's the way it works. You win this, you don't wanna get criticized? Then do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. But if you want this, then be a reality man. See the reality of the situation. Understand that this comes with criticism, and you will never be liked by everybody, Roman. :Understand what I am offering you here. This is everything you've ever wanted. From the time you were a boy, ''[places the belt over Roman's shoulder]'' you wanted to put this on your shoulder, right? You wanted to say, "I'm the man." You wanted everything that comes with it. The respect, all of it. You don't wanna die, and on your tombstone, it says, "yeah, but everybody liked me." You want them to build a monument in your honor. Right? I am offering you an opportunity here for you and what is most important in your life, and I know what is most important in your life outside of this. It's your family. It's your family. I'm not talking about setting up your wife and your daughter, I'm talking about setting up your daughter's daughter, Roman. I'm talking about giving you everything you have ever wanted out of life. ''[Takes belt back and places on pedestal]'' All you have to do, all you have to do is be my man. :'''Roman Reigns''': Everything I have in life, I earned it. Everything that I've done, I did it my way. I've never taken a handout, and nobody can ever take that away from me. But it ain't going down tonight; you can take your offer, and you can shove it. :'''Triple H''': Roman, thank you. Thank you for reminding me why I didn't choose you in the first place. === November 16 === :'''Dean Ambrose''': If I win the WWE Championship at Survivor Series, I'm gonna turn this whole place upside-down! We're throwing all the rules out the window! Ain't gonna be no more suits, ain't gonna be no more ties. More action, less talking! I want more pyro, I want breakfast for dinner, we're gonna replace Michael Cole with a fish tank. We're throwing all the rules out the window. This Sunday at Survivor Series, I make the entire WWE the Ambrose Asylum. <hr width=50%/> :''[At the contract signing for the WWE Divas Championship match at Survivor Series]'' :'''Michael Cole''': Ladies, this is what the WWE fans are trying to figure out here. I mean, I was with you guys when you were at your NXT tryouts. You guys bonded, and over the last couple of years, you've become the best of friends. But what the WWE Universe can't figure out is where it all went wrong. What happened to the friendship between you two? :'''Paige''': First of all, this is no ''friendships'', Michael. When you're a true champion, there is no room for emotion ''or'' friendships. So I had to teach Charlotte that the hard way, and I intend to do so again this Sunday when I take back ''my'' Divas Championship. :''[Paige signs the contract]'' :'''Charlotte''': It must be exhausting being this bitter and angry all the time. :'''Paige''': How have I been all angry, Charlotte? I don't even look that way. :'''Charlotte''': What happened to you, Paige? What made you like this? You know, I didn't get into this business to make friends. But when I started at NXT, forget the fact that we came from the same background. I can't even believe I'm about to say this: I wanted to ''be'' like you. I was the naive, sweet Carolina girl; you were the British badass. You know, we didn't grow up like most little girls. We sat at home watching our parents on the television night after night sacrificing their body. They cared about the WWE almost as much as they cared about us. That's why my [[w:Reid Flair|late brother]]...''[starts to tear up]'' When my little brother passed away, you were there for me. I... I am here today because of him, and that's the only reason to fulfill his dream. We were family. :'''Paige''': You know what, Charlotte? It doesn't matter what I said or what I thought about you, okay? This isn't a sorority house, sweetheart. I have been using you since day one. :'''Charlotte''': "Using" me? Using me? Well, you must really suck at using me, because that's why I'm the Divas Champion and you're not. But the sad thing is, Paige, it didn't have to be like that. Because it's not about the Title, it's about who's got your back at the end of the day. :'''Paige''': And where did you learn that, Dr. Phil or ''Seventeen'' magazine? Or...you gonna keep crying, Charlotte? :'''Charlotte''': [[w:The Hardy Boyz|Team Xtreme]], D-Generation X, the Four Horsemen. Team PCB was going to change the Divas division...until you let your selfish ways get in the way. :'''Paige''': Oh, okay, okay. First of all, wrong. I threw PCB away because I deserve that championship more than anyone, and especially more than you. :'''Charlotte''': You're not a champion! You ''never'' were! A champion is a role model. A champion is someone those little girls sitting at home and sitting in that audience want to be like. :I won't be Champion forever, but when I lose that title, it won't be this Sunday, and it damn sure won't be to someone like you. :'''Paige''': Wow, Charlotte. You know what? That was quite a speech. I had a tear in my eye. Oh, no, wait, wait, wait. That's confidence. You are so naive, Charlotte, it makes me sick, and it is embarrassing. :'''Michael Cole''': ''[as Paige is about to leave]'' Oh, wait a moment, Charlotte, the contract. :'''Paige''': You know what? You know what? I am so sick of this. You think that everyone has your back, and that's a bunch of bull. No one has your back, and no one will have your back this Sunday. Not even Daddy, Mr. Four Horsemen himself. You know what? Where are you, Ric? Where are you? Why don't you come on out here, and drop one of those famous elbowdrops on your jacket. 'Cause you know what? It is ''so'' impressive, you old fart! :'''Charlotte''': You shut your mouth, or there won't be a Survivor Series! You won't even make it out of this building! :'''Michael Cole''': Charlotte, Paige has signed the contract... :'''Charlotte''': I will continue to fight each and every day, just like everyone in my entire family has, just like my dad did, just like my little brother did, and just like I do! :'''Paige''': You know what, Charlotte? You're wrong, sweetheart, 'cause your little baby brother...he didn't have much fight in ''him'', did he? :''[Charlotte lunges at Paige, and the two brawl before being separated by referees]'' == 2016 == === February 8 === :'''Daniel Bryan''': ''[on the YES! chants from the audience]'' So, just now, I was able to close my eyes and feel that. Like, literally feel it in a way that I've never gotten to feel it before, because when we're here, we always have to keep our eyes open. But just that experience, literally, I'm never gonna forget it. :But now...but now, it is time for me to address the giant elephant in the room. :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' NO! :'''Daniel''': I know, I know, I didn't want to shave my beard either. But the thing is, is that I wanted to cut my hair, and once I cut my hair, I looked really silly with this giant beard. And this is just my one cheap plug, is that I cut my hair for an organization called [http://www.wigs4kids.org/ Wigs 4 Kids], and one of the nice things about them is that they make wigs for kids who have had cancer, and they don't charge the families at all for that, so...if there is anything worthwhile that comes out of what I'm saying tonight, that's it right there. :But now to some less fun stuff. So... :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' NO! :'''Daniel''': Trust me, I don't want to be doing this any more than you want me to be doing this. But the truth is, I've been wrestling since I was 18 years old, and within the first five months of my wrestling career, I'd already had three concussions. And for years after that, I would get a concussion here and there, or here, or there, and it gets to point that, when you've been wrestling for 16 years, that adds up to a lot of concussions. And it gets to a point where they tell you that you can't wrestle anymore. ''[Audience boos]'' And for a long time, I fought that because I'd gotten EEGs and brain MRIs and neuropsychological evaluations, and all of them said this, that I was fine and I could come back and I could wrestle, and I trained like I would come back and I would wrestle, and I was ready at a moment's notice if WWE needed me, I wanted to come back and wrestle, because this...I have loved this in a way that I have never loved anything else. :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' THANK YOU, DANIEL! :'''Daniel''': But a week and a half ago, I...I took a test that said maybe my brain isn't as okay as I thought it was, and I have a family to think about, and my wife and I want to start having kids soon. :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' YES! :'''Daniel''': That's what Brie says all the time! :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! :'''Daniel''': So...it is with a heavier heart and the utmost sadness that I officially announcement my retirement. But if there's one thing...so I've gone through all these complex emotions in this last little bit. You know, I've been angry, I've been sad, I've been frustrated, I've been all of that. But today, when I woke up this morning, I felt nothing but gratitude because I have gotten to do what I love for nearly 16 years. Let me tell you a few of the things that I love, okay? Let me tell you a few of the things that I love. Nobody outside of this arena or this city cares about this, but I love the Seahawks. Here's another thing that I love. Here's another thing that I love. Right before my music hits, and it makes that weird sound right before it comes on, and when you guys react every single time, even if I'm tired as hell or I've been hurting, every time, I get this weird little smirk on my face that's not like...but it just...it brings joy to my heart, and I love it every single time. :Do you know what else that I love? I love hitting the ropes and diving right here. ''[Sticks himself between the top two ropes]'' It has made me feel like Superman, and your guys' reaction to that made me feel like Superman. I love that. :Here's another thing that I love. Here's another thing that I love. I have wrestled in the parking lot of gas stations, ''and'' I have wrestled in front of 70-plus thousand people in New Orleans. Here's another thing that I love. I have gotten to meet the most amazing people on this planet, such as somebody who looks like a monster, but is the smartest man I know, like Kane. I have gotten to meet a man who has been my mentor and my friend for over 16 years in William Regal. I have gotten to meet children that are stronger than I've ever thought anybody could be, like [[w:Connor Michalek|Connor]]. :Grateful. I am very grateful, and I'm grateful because wrestling doesn't owe me or anybody back there, it doesn't owe us anything. WWE doesn't owe us anything, nobody owes...you guys don't owe us anything. We do this because we love to do this. And then, it was strange because I did this because I love to do this, and then all of a sudden, you guys just got behind me ''[starting to tear up]'' in a way that I never thought was possible, in a way that fans shouldn't necessarily get behind a guy who's 5'8" and 190 pounds. You guys got behind me in a way that made me feel that I was more than just me, and for that, I'm grateful. I'm grateful because, a little over two years ago, in this very arena, you guys hijacked ''Raw''. :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' YES! :'''Daniel''': And they were trying to do a big championship coronation between Randy Orton and John Cena. They were combining the WWE Championship with the World Heavyweight Championship, and they had all the former Champions out here, and this was gonna be the most important match in WWE history, and you guys just wouldn't stop chanting "Daniel Bryan!" :'''Crowd''': ''[chants]'' DANIEL BRYAN! :'''Daniel''': But that's not why I'm grateful. My dad was sitting right over there, where the guy with the goat mask with the Daniel Bryan sign is standing right now. And my dad got to see that, his son getting that kind of reaction from all you people. ''[Tearing up]'' And that was the last time my dad ever got to see me wrestle, and you guys made it special for him and for me and for my entire family. I am grateful. I am grateful, because of wrestling, I got to meet the most wonderful woman in the world, who's beautiful, she is smart, and she completes me in a way that I didn't even think was possible, and that's because of wrestling. I am grateful. I am grateful because I get to come out here in front of what I feel is my hometown fans. I get to announce my retirement in front of a bunch of people who love me. Right? :That special moment that I had with my dad, I get to share this moment with my mom, with my sister, with my family, with my friends. I get to share that with them, I get to share it with you, I get to share it with my wife in the back, I get to share it with all of these wonderful human beings that I have spent the last 15 years of my life with. I am grateful. :Now, tomorrow morning, I start...I start a new life. A life where I am no longer a wrestler. But that is tomorrow, and that is not tonight! And by damn, I have one more night to feel this energy, and to feel this crowd! So if I could just get one last "YES!" chant, I would really appreciate it! ===May 23=== :''[Ric Flair has put over Charlotte in her WWE Women's Championship title defense against Natalya at Extreme Rules]'' :'''Charlotte Flair''': You know what I remember growing up? I remember Christmases, I remember birthdays... ''[miffed at "What?" chant]'' If I - if you "What? me one more time ''[chant]'', that's fine because Dad you know what I remember Mom saying? ''[pause]'' That Daddy's always with you. You weren't ever there, because I always had to watch you on television, but actually Dad I fully understand why you weren't there because all those years, I couldn't understand why you weren't there, you know Mom had to rub my head because I was crying, but now I get it you know why? Because I'm the WWE Women's Champion. I've never been more powerful! I've never been more confident! Dad, and now I understand, you know what it felt like to be The Man. I'm The Woman! ''[sighs]'' That's why I finally have the courage to say to you, Dad... ''[points away]'' GET OUT OF MY RING! ''[Ric is not moved]'' What, are you hard of hearing? I said, get out! ''[Ric softly asks, Why]'' Do you know what it's like to walk into a room and just say "Hey look, that's Ric Flair's daughter!" No, you know who you are? You're "Charlotte's dad"! ''[sees Flair's emotions change; mocks]'' Oh don't do this, don't do this... ''[for emphasis]'' I don't need you anymore. You're immortal to them. To me, dead. ''[shrugs off Ric appealing to her]'' Get out of my ring, I'm done with this sad story. Get out. Get out - ''[keeps distance]'' Don't take another step near me - actually you know what you can do? You can just watch me on TV, like I did the last 30 years to you. ''[teases Ric's sad face and makes palm shrug as he tries to talk to her]'' Ohh, out you go! Get out of my ring. Don't make me, don't make me do this. I don't want to embarrass you. ''[Ric gets through the ropes and leaves]'' === June 20 === :'''Dean Ambrose''': Oh, boy, last night was a long night in Las Vegas, and I'm not even talking about the stuff I ''don't'' remember. There was an incident with a security guard at the Hard Rock, there was this whole Cleveland Cavaliers celebration party thing. ''[A few boos and cheers from the crowd]'' I don't know, I don't like those guys anyway, don't look at me. They were freakishly tall and it weirded me out, I don't know. I think I had my foot ran over by a cab. Oh, yeah, and this other thing happened where I had to climb a 15-foot ladder and win the Money in the Bank ladder match! I think, at some point in the night, I almost got bitten by a dog. I mean, it was a long night. Oh, yeah, and then, this other thing happened, where I cashed in my Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins, and I became the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion! :You wanna talk about another guy who had a long night, Seth Rollins. He was just the right guy at the right place at the ''wrong time.'' So listen up, kiddos, Uncle Dean-o's gonna give your lesson of the week. So listen up, pay attention. What goes around, comes back around. You know what, let me give you another lesson while I'm out here pontificating and stuff, here's another lesson for you. Hard work pays off! Busting your ass, keeping your nose to the grindstone pays off! And when it pays off, baby, it pays off ''big!'' :So Seth called himself "The Man," Roman called himself "The Guy." I don't know, what does that make me? The Dude? :'''Audience''': ''[chanting]'' DUDE! :'''Dean''': Oh, I kinda like it. I don't care, you can call me whatever you want, but you call me Champion! I've been chasing this for two years, and this is the reason I kept picking myself off... picking myself up, dusting myself off, patching myself back together; this is why I kept on trucking, this is why I kept on swinging. And as I sit here with this Championship in the middle of this ring live on ''Monday Night Raw'', I can tell you, baby, it was all worth it 'cause we ain't having no hard times anymore! == 2017 == === March 6 === :'''Corey Graves''': I understand why Chicago likes these two. Enzo and Cass remind them of the local baseball teams. Cass is like the Cubs: it may take a hundred years, but he might be a champion. Enzo's more like the White Sox: if he ever becomes a champion, you can be guaranteed there's a scandal involved. === April 3 === :'''Roman Reigns''': This is my yard now. (people heavily boo loudly) === June 19=== :'''Big Cass''': ''(When asked if he attacked Enzo Amore)'' You're damn right I did it! Do you have any idea what it's like teaming up with you, Enzo? You just constantly run your mouth about God knows what every single minute of the day. You even ran your mouth to Conor McGregor. Do you know how many times I've wanted to slap you right upside your head? How many times I wanted to knock you out myself? But I didn't do it because I felt bad for you, Enzo. Because everybody behind that curtain doesn't like you, I felt bad for you, Enzo. Because everybody in the back doesn't like you, I felt bad for you, Enzo. And I put up with your crap. For years, I put up with your crap every single day until finally, I snapped. And I had to admit, it felt damn good when I attacked you from behind. You all right? And I would have snapped your little neck like a twig if I wanted to, but I didn't because I wanted to watch you suffer. For all the years of crap I had to put with in NXT! In Tampa! Here on Monday Night Raw! For all the crap I had to put up with, I wanted to watch you suffer! And when things got a little bit hot and fingers pointed in my direction, I cooled them down because I wanted to see just how smart you were. I wanted to see if you were smart enough to realize what was going on around you or if you are just as dumb as you look and I realized that you are even dumber. You are nothing more than dead weight that's holding me back from reaching my potential in the WWE! You are just dead weight holding me down when I should be rising to the top of the WWE! You're the reason I have never been a champion in WWE! I'm the star here! I'm the future! I'm where the money is! And you, your mouth just writes checks that your ass can't cash. Because Big Cass has always been behind you. Well, not for long because me and you, we are through. :''(Big Cass attacks Enzo Amore once more with a big boot)'' :'''Big Cass''': And you can't teach ''that''. === October 23 === :'''Paul Heyman''': You know what's funny? The way you all react to the manner in which I introduce my client, Brock Lesnar, because ''someone'' has a problem with the word "undisputed." Someone wants to dispute the fact that Brock Lesnar is ''the'' champion in World Wrestling Entertainment. This same someone, who's over on ''SmackDown Live'' has barely survived the title challenge of Randy Orton. This same someone has barely survived the title challenge of Shinsuke Nakamura. This same someone is sitting up at night, plotting and planning, trying to figure out how to barely survive the potential title challenge of AJ Styles. Meanwhile, right over here on the flagship show ''Monday Night Raw'', Brock Lesnar has eaten through the single most stacked heavyweight division in the history of WWE. That fact is undisputed. :You know what else is undisputed? That we live in the age of trash-talking. Everybody wants to trash-talk, everybody wants to hurl insults, everybody wants to not give props where props are due. Everyone wants to run down their opponent, everybody wants to hurl insults at their opponents' families, everyone wants to be the king of trash-talk, brand their opponents as losers instead of box office attractions. :You know what else is undisputed? That the king of the trash-talk is the advocate with the mic in his hand right now. And yet, despite the fact that you clamor for me to trash-talk, I don't trash-talk Brock Lesnar's opponents, and I'll tell you why. Because any man deemed worthy of stepping into the ring to ''fight'' Brock Lesnar must be a real man, must have a whole lot of merit going on behind him. I didn't trash-talk Goldberg, I praised Goldberg, and rightfully so. I didn't trash-talk Samoa Joe, I praised Samoa Joe, and rightfully so. I didn't trash-talk Braun Strowman, I praised Braun Strowman, and oh, my God, rightfully so. :But ''you?'' Jinder Mahal? The make-believe maharaja, with the Singh-Singh-Singh-Singh singalong Brothers standing behind you doing ''my'' shtick of introducing you? Are you kidding me? You're not Brock Lesnar's equal, you're not Brock Lesnar's contemporary, you're not Brock Lesnar's counterpart on ''SmackDown Live'', you're not even a worthy pretender to the throne of being WWE Champion! When we think of WWE Champions, we think of Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, and, ladies and gentlemen, my client ''Brock Lesnar!'' We don't think of Jinder Mahal, a consolation prize champion offered to ''SmackDown Live'' when Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan realized they got the shaft in the Superstar shake-up. :And please don't think that my client is waving the flag of ''Monday Night Raw'', marching into Survivor Series to defend the honor of ''Raw'' over ''SmackDown'' in the name of brand supremacy. Ladies and gentlemen, there is no battle for brand supremacy. Any brand that brags Brock Lesnar—say that three times fast—the brand that brags Brock Lesnar is the #1 brand. The brand that brags Brock Lesnar is the supreme brand. The brand that brags Brock Lesnar is the flagship brand with the #1 champion, the place to be in World Wrestling Entertainment. That's undisputed. And because Jinder Mahal disputes that fact, Jinder Mahal, at Survivor Series, you're going to Suplex City. == 2018 == === October 22 === :'''Roman Reigns''': I feel like... I feel like I owe everyone an apology. For months, maybe even a full year, I've come out here and spoke as Roman Reigns, and I said a lot of things, you know. I said that I'd be here every single week, I said I'd be a fightin' champion, I said I was gonna be consistent, and I said I was gonna be a workhorse, but...that's all lies. It's a lie because the reality is, my real name is Joe, and I've been living with leukemia for 11 years. And unfortunately, it's back. And because the leukemia is back, I cannot fulfill my role, I can't be that fightin' champion, and I'm gonna have to relinquish the Universal Championship. :And I'm not gonna lie, I'll take every prayer you send my way, but I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm not looking for you to feel bad for me, because I have faith. When I was 22 years old, I was diagnosed with this, and very quickly, I was able to put in in remission. But I'm not gonna lie, that was the hardest time of my life. I didn't have a job, I didn't have any money, I didn't have a home, and I had a baby on the way, and football was done with me. :But you wanna know who gave me a chance? The team that gave me a chance was the WWE. And when I finally made it to the main roster and I was on the road, they put me in front of all of you, the WWE Universe. And to be honest, y'all have made my dreams come true. And it didn't matter if you cheered me, it didn't matter if you booed me. You've always reacted to me, and that is the most important thing, and for that, I have to say thank you so much. :'''Audience''': ''[chanting] THANK YOU, ROMAN!'' :'''Roman''': Thank you. But you all know the deal. You all know how life is. Life is not fair, it's not all peaches and cream. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. And right now, the best thing for me to do is to go home, to focus on my family and my health. :But I wanna make one thing clear. By no means is this a retirement speech. ''[The audience cheers]'' Because after I'm done whoopin' leukemia's ass once again, I'm coming back home. And when I do, it's not just be about titles and being on top. No, it's about a purpose. I'm coming back because I want to show all of you, the whole world, I wanna show my family, my friends, my children, and my wife that when life throws a curve ball at me, I am the type of man that will stand in that batter's box, I will crowd the plate, I will choke up, and I will swing for the fences every single time! Because I will beat this, and I will be back, so you will see me very, very soon. Once again, thank you so much, God bless you, and I love you. Believe that. <hr width=50%> :'''Paul Heyman''': Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and tonight, my thoughts and my prayers are with the champion of a man you know as Roman Reigns. It is humbling to me amongst the members of that locker room tonight and to have been in the presence of such courage and such greatness. And when I go home tonight and I have to explain this all to my children, what I want my children to understand about this show, this presentation, this business, this industry that we all love is, what you witnessed tonight, as much as you witnessed that courage, what you witnessed was sacrifice. Because what Roman Reigns did tonight was, he sacrificed his career aspirations because, as he said, he couldn't fulfill the obligations of being the Universal Champion, because to everyone that walks through that locker room, the title deserves the best that any champion has to offer it. :You, as the WWE Universe, the WWE fanbase, those who take pride in WWE have the right to point to the Universal Champion and say, that's the best, that is everything this presentation, this show, this industry has to offer. That's #1. And until 8:05 PM, Eastern Time tonight, we had the right to brag that the very best, the #1 was the Universal Champion. :So now, what do we do? Roman Reigns does not want the title to stop because he can no longer defend it. Roman Reigns is the first person to tell you the show must go on, and so it does. At Crown Jewel, Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman, and only one can say, "I'm the one that carries on the legacy that Roman Reigns brought to this ring tonight. I'm the one that's worthy of the prestige of being the champion. I'm the one that's worthy of the honor of being the champion. I'm the one that's worthy of ''being'' the champion," and that sure as hell ain't Braun Strowman! There's only one being in this match at Crown Jewel that's worthy of the honor of being your champion, worthy of the dignity of being your champion, worthy of walking into the Octagon and laying that title down in front of the sports universe and saying, "I am the best WWE has to offer, I'm the Universal Champion, and my name is ''Brock Lesnar!''" :So Braun Strowman can walk around all that he wants and bill himself as a monster! My client Brock Lesnar doesn't ''bill'' himself as a beast. He's not a man, he ''is'' a beast! And Braun Strowman, you're not in Brock Lesnar's league. You're not in Brock Lesnar's category. You're not in Brock Lesnar's stratosphere. Braun Strowman, you can't compare to Brock Lesnar! You're not even a member of the same species as Brock Lesnar! == 2019 == === January 29 === :'''Becky Lynch''': Look at this. The Man is back on ''Raw''. Ronnie, I told you I'd find a way back to you again. Now, for about a year now, I've been hearing about this "baddest woman on the planet," but the last time I came to your show, I dropped you right...''[points down to the left]'' there. And even after that, you never came looking for me to prove that you're the baddest. So, Ronnie, I've come looking for you to prove you're not. :'''Audience''': ''[chanting]'' BECKY! :'''Becky''': And you've heard about this, but last night, I won the Royal Rumble match. And unlike Seth Rollins, I don't need much time to think. I choose you. :'''Michael Cole''': Oh yeah! :'''Audience''': ''[chanting]'' YES! :'''Becky''': And at WrestleMania, I am going to break your mystique, I am going to take your title, and I am gonna kick your ass in front of the whole world. :'''Audience''': ''[chanting, as Ronda Rousey motions for a mic]'' KICK HER ASS! :'''Ronda Rousey''': I want the whole world to hear this. First off, how's your leg? Huh? 'Cause unlike you, I want my opponent to be looking me in the eye and primed to fight. I don't just want to beat you, I want to beat the best version of Becky Lynch that has ever existed. :And let's just be completely honest, shall we? You, me, and everyone else here knows that I can re-break your face faster than you can say, "Nia Jax." In fact, you, me, and everyone else here knows that I have the ability to kill you with my bare hands without even breaking a sweat, and the only thing stopping me is my decision not to. :You know what, Becky? I just realized that we are the same age. That means while you were training, I was main-eventing in a sport that didn't even want women in it at all, let alone in the main event. And last year, while you were in the... the kickoff show for WrestleMania, I stole the show in my debut! How long have you been The Man, Becky? Because I've been a household name for a decade. :You gotta learn something here, honey. Any ring I step into is mine, I own the ground under my feet, and I'm gonna own you at WrestleMania! :'''Michael''': Oh, yeah! Can WrestleMania happen tomorrow?! :'''Corey Graves''': Seriously, I am ready to see these two women throw down on the grandest stage of them all! Let me tell you This will be the best match in wrestlemania === February 25 === :'''Batista''': ''[drags Ric Flair out of his locker room]'' Hey Hunter, do I have your attention now? ''[takes off sunglasses]'' HUH!? === April 8 === :'''Sami Zayn''': You know, I... I... I really thought coming out here tonight would cure what ails me. All it did was reinforce what I've realized over the past nine months. It genuinely seems like you miss me. I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart, I honestly did not miss any of this or any one of you. Yeah, so it turns out WWE is a super, like, toxic environment. ''[Sarcastic laugh]'' It's not because of the McMahons, and it ain't because of the other WWE Superstars, it's because of this audience and your ugliness! :Let me be honest. I live a very meaningful and fulfilled life; I'm quite happy. But your lives seem so empty and so devoid of any kind of meaning that the only joy you get, it's not even from coming out and enjoying the shows as fans. You only get joy and satisfaction out of being critics. ''[Mocking laugh]'' You wanna know why that is, moron? You wanna know why? It's 'cause it's the only thing that gives you any sort of sense of self-importance. You judge everyone and everything except yourselves. You wanna know why that is? It's 'cause none of you have the balls to look inside yourself 'cause you know the ugliness and the cynicism that lives inside of you. You're so bloody delusional, it's hilarious. :You really think you guys are, like, the voice of reason? You really think you guys are, like, the ''[mocking] voices that should be heard. Hear me roar!'' No. Seemingly overnight, you have become the evil overlords of WWE. Sami Zayn has been about one thing his entire career and his entire life, and that is doing what is right. And now, the right thing to do isn't to come back and ''[fake heroic] save WWE'', and it's not to come over and take over the WWE. The right thing to do is to come out here every single week and hold each and every single one of you accountable because nobody else will. See you in Hell. === May 27 === :'''Seth Rollins''': Let me explain something to you. See this right here? ''[Points to the WWE Universal Championship]'' This is my life, Lesnar. Yeah, I see that. Shut your mouth. This is my life, this is what I work for every single day, what I sacrifice for every single day, and you come out here and you make a mockery out of it. And not because you walk out here with your stupid little beat box. No. You make a mockery out of it because you are a joke. Yeah. That's not the joke, you're the joke, and I'm not afraid of you. I stomped your head into the mat at WrestleMania, and I can do it again right here, right now. :Yeah, you used to be the most feared man in combat sports history, and look at you. You're a coward hiding behind Paul Heyman. The shell of what you used to be. You want a chance to prove me wrong, Lesnar? ''[Points to the Money in the Bank briefcase]'' There's your chance. There's your chance, Lesnar. Cash it in! Cash it in! Cash it in! Cash it in! :'''Paul Heyman''': ''[referring to the Money in the Bank contract]'' [[w:John Cone|Mr. Cone]], page 8, paragraph 27, section B: "the parties mutually agree that the winner of the 2019 Money in the Bank contract, in his sole discretion"—that's Brock Lesnar—"picks the time and the place to challenge for either the WWE or Universal Heavyweight Championship. The aforementioned challenge shall take place at any time, with no notice, to either champion, on or by the expiration of this agreement, one year after 2019 Money in the Bank pay-per-view event. Therefore, before May 19, 2020, said challenger Brock Lesnar..." :''[Brock cups the mic, stopping Paul's recitation. He looks at the contract.]'' :'''Brock''': I got a year? :'''Paul''': Yeah! :'''Brock''': To cash in. :'''Paul''': A year! ''[Pissed, Brock smacks Paul with the contract]'' Didn't you know?! :'''Brock''': No, I didn't know! :'''Paul''': How could you not know?! You have to make a decision! :'''Brock''': ''[to Seth]'' I got a whole year! And I gotta make a decision now? Seth Rollins, screw...you. == 2020 == === May 11 === :'''Becky Lynch''': Tonight is... is no ordinary night for me. I'm torn between joy and sadness 'cause I'm... I'm at a place in my life where things are about to change, and I needed to do something about it. So I asked the decision makers to raise the stakes for the Money In The Bank ladder match, and they did just that. :But before I get to that... I walked in through these very doors in 2013, and I didn't know anybody in this country, and I didn't know if I was good enough to be here. ''[She starts to tear up]'' And I didn't know if anybody would care about a loudmouthed Irish woman who loved puns and toast. But somewhere along the line, I... I learned that they did care, and they cared so much that they put me on their shoulders, and they carried me into history, and I will never forget that. :Through injury and triumph, it was the fans who stood up for me, who had my back, and it was the fans who I grabbed onto when I didn't have anybody else. And that is why it's the fans, it's you at home that deserve to hear this from me first: that I have to go away for awhile. :''[Asuka's music hits, and she charges to the ring berating Becky in Japanese]'' :'''Becky''': ''[on the Money In The Bank briefcase sitting on a table in the ring]'' It is yours, you're right. Asuka, you have beaten me when nobody else could. You have been the best wrestler in the world for a long time, and this is why I am so glad that this is happening to you. 'Cause the match last night, it wasn't what you thought it was. It wasn't for an opportunity to win the championship. It was for so much more. And I know you haven't been able to unlock this 'cause there's a combination. ''[She opens the briefcase, revealing the Raw Women's Championship]'' The match last night was actually for the Raw Women's Championship. Now, I can't fight anymore, but you can. You are the champion. :'''Asuka''': I'm the champion? :'''Becky''': You're the champion. :'''Asuka''': I'm the champion! :''[She takes the title and runs excitedly all over the Performance Center, even dancing on the announcers' table, and makes her way back to the ring]'' :'''Becky''': You are the champion, and as happy as you are to be the champion, I might be a little bit happier. So you go and be a warrior 'cause I'm gonna go be a mother. :'''Asuka''': ''[genuinely surprised]'' "Be a mother"? You're gonna be a mother? ''[She hugs Becky]'' Oh, congratulations! Really?! YEAH!!! BECKY! BECKY! BECKY! BECKY! I'm so happy for you. == 2022 == === January 3 === :'''Brock Lesnar''': Before we get this party started tonight, I'd like to give a big shout-out to my good buddy Roman Reigns. He's probably sitting at home, more than likely, tuned in to ''Monday Night Raw'', tuned in to the ''new'' WWE Heavyweight Champion, the ''real'' champion, ''BROCK LESNAR!!!'' Get well soon, buddy. Now...South Carolina...acknowledge me. :''[turns to Paul Heyman]'' I would like to acknowledge my advocate for advocating my free agency, for advocating all the strings you pulled Saturday to make...to help make me the WWE Champion. Paul, thank you. :'''Paul Heyman''': If you think it's interesting out here, you should see the things that go on behind the scenes in WWE, like when I negotiated for Brock Lesnar to be a free agent—allegedly did that in advance. And then Saturday at Day 1, when Brock Lesnar showed up looking to win a title from a champion, and one champion simply could not make it, but the other champion... the other champion was in a Fatal 4-Way. And what... what's better than a Fatal 4-Way, than a Fatal 5-Way featuring Brock Lesnar! So all the behind-the-scenes machination, and the strings were pulled, and Brock Lesnar gets to enter the Fatal 5-Way. :And now, what does Brock Lesnar do as ''your'' WWE Heavyweight Champion? Well, he concentrates not only on reigning, but defending. So at the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar will defend the championship against the winner of the originally scheduled Fatal 4-Way, which takes place tonight right here in this very ring. Let's run down the challengers, shall we. :First, there's Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens, and you have to lump them in together because they are a team. They're a team, and in a match where every man is for himself, these two figured out to be jackals, to be hyenas, to go after the lions of the jungle, because then if they win it together, they have to figure it out. It's up to WWE, and screw management as far as they are concerned. And it's a smart thing for someone who's pretty damn dumb like Seth Rollins. 'Cause Seth Rollins likes to tell everybody that he's a visionary, and he's too stupid to realize that he's not a visionary, 'cause if he had a vision for the future, he'd realize that [[w:Becky Lynch|his wife]] is going to leave him if he doesn't beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title...and he can't! So who's she gonna leave him for? Well, I don't know, but it sure as hell won't be Kevin Owens 'cause Kevin Owens can't beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title either. Maybe the two of them should ask to be traded to ''SmackDown'' 'cause I understand there's a certain "tribal chief" who's a little vulnerable without his special counsel nowadays. :Oh, don't go "ooh!" It's a historical fact. Want me to prove it to you? One week without me as special counsel, Roman Reigns already has COVID! Yeah, you can get over the Rona, but karma can be really bitchy! :Speaking of bitchy, let's talk about MVP. Actually, let's ''not'' talk about MVP, since nobody else does anyway. Let's talk, however, about Bobby Lashley. There's a worthy challenger. Brock Lesnar has never met Bobby Lashley, there's a historical fact. Brock Lesnar never ran into Bobby Lashley in the back, they never shook hands, they never say hello to each other. It's like the two were avoiding each other, which I know is not the case 'cause neither one avoids anything or anybody in life. The first time Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar met, Bobby Lashley speared Brock Lesnar through that wall. The second time Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley met, in the very same match 48 hours ago, Brock Lesnar hit an F-5 on everybody in the match with the exception of Bobby Lashley, who speared Brock Lesnar and damn near pinned him. The third time Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar met, in the same match 48 hours ago, Bobby Lashley put Brock Lesnar in the Hurt Lock. And I've said this to Brock Lesnar's face, it didn't look like Brock Lesnar was going to get out. This is all a testament to how damn good Bobby Lashley is. Except, on all three of these occasions, Bobby Lashley was hitting Brock Lesnar from a blind side or behind. So if Bobby Lashley wins tonight, and he faces Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, he's gonna have to face Brock Lesnar face-to-face, and that is a whole different story. The story between jackin' someone from behind, and just going down in history as the Almighty Brock Lesnar Wannabe. :There's one more man in the match tonight. He's the odds-on favorite, he's the former champion, and it's Big E. We have nothing bad to say... ''[off a fan's cheer]'' yeah, he deserves your applause. ''That'' is a great champion. Big E did WWE justice. Big E is a credit to World Wrestling Entertainment, to the company, to the audience, to the WWE Universe and the viewers at home, to the people live here tonight, to the lineage of the WWE Title! Big E is all that and more, and he would still be WWE Champion if he didn't have to step into the ring with Brock Lesnar. We have nothing but respect and admiration for Big E. So if Big E wins tonight and he gets the rematch at the Royal Rumble, sir, it will be an absolute honor to witness that match. You're gonna lose, which is no shame, but it would still be an honor to watch you lose to the greatest WWE Champion of all time, the winner of the Fatal 4-Way-- the winner of the Fatal 5-Way, excuse me, and your new REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED WWE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, BROCK LESNAR!!! === April 4 === :'''Cody Rhodes''': So, what do you guys want to talk about? It has been 47 days since the abrupt news that I was a free agent. Amongst that, I chose to remain silent, and I heard stories, defamatory whispers, theories that surmised to be nonsense. Everyone thinks the decision to return to WWE was difficult. It was not. It was simple, really. The star that left them in the dust. The man standing here now, having signed a multi-year agreement with World Wrestling Entertainment. And if there was... :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting]'' YOU DESERVE IT! :'''Cody''': If there was a glimmer of doubt, a shred of trepidation, the moment I rose up in front of 70-something thousand fans, the moment I made the walk at a WrestleMania and defeated one of the best superstar wrestlers in any era, that being Seth Rollins, that doubt was eradicated. I’m an avid reader, and I stumbled across this quote. It said, [[Jean de La Fontaine|"a man often finds his destiny on the path he takes to avoid it."]] So, if you’ll humor me, let’s all take a look at the Tron, if you will. :''[On the TitanTron is a picture of Dusty Rhodes holding high the WWWF Championship. The crowd chants "DUSTY!"]'' :'''Cody''': Right there is my father, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. It’s so simple to say, that’s my father, but in reality, yeah, he's a legend. Yeah, he's the son of a plumber, he's a common man. He’s all those things. To me, he was my hero. This photo was taken in 1977, at Madison Square Garden. That very photo right there, he is holding the championship belt that eventually Hulk Hogan would get his hands on, the Undertaker would get his hands on, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. Oh, and Triple H, too. And many other greats. I'm gonna tell you a quick story which made this all very simple to me. This photo, this very photo, was on the mantle in my parents' bedroom until my dad's last day. And as I got hip to the industry, I worked up a little courage, and I remember I asked him, and I worded it very poorly. I said, "I didn’t know that you were a champion like Hulk Hogan." And he looked at me with the same eyes that Liberty has, and he said, very stern and very patiently, he explained to me the champion's advantage. He said that he had won the match, but because it was by countout, he did not take home the championship belt. :So, I'm 8 years old. What’s a boy to do? Right then and there, at 8 years old, I knew not what I wanted to do, what I ''needed'' to do. I was going to win this championship belt right here! I was going to place it, I was going to bestow it into the hands of The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes and tell him, "nobody can take it away from you now." And there are many here tonight who have followed my journey, but for those who are new to it, unfortunately, that dream died. It died right in front of me. That opportunity passed. That opportunity passed, or did it? Yes, I cannot physically put that title belt into my father's hands. I cannot bestow it upon The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, but I certainly can put it around the waist of The American Nightmare. :'''Crowd''': ''[chant]'' YOU CAN DO IT! :'''Cody''': With that in mind, the silence is broken, my intentions are clear. I've made them clear to all of you here. I stand before you, ready, finally ready. And I'm going to do it. I'm going to give the distinction that my family has long since been denied, and I'm going to do it for you, I'm going to do it for me, I'm going to do it for my family, and I am going to do it for The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes. <hr width=50%> :'''Roman Reigns''': Wise Man, why don't you go ahead and explain the Bloodline's success. :'''Paul Heyman''': The single longest-reigning tag team champions in the history of ''SmackDown!'', the Usos! The largest box office receipts in the history of SummerSlam; who was in the main event? Roman Reigns! The largest box office receipts in the history of Survivor Series; who was in the main event? Roman Reigns! The first billion-dollar-grossing year in the history of sports entertainment; who was on top as the main star all 365 days of that year?! ''[The crowd starts answering]'' Romain Reigns! The single biggest, largest-grossing box office in the history of the Royal Rumble; who was on top? Roman Reigns. The largest crowds in the history of WrestleMania Weekend, 58% increase on Peacock from last year, and the largest-grossing commerce facilitator in the history of WrestleMania; who was on top? ''[with the crowd]'' Roman Reigns! :Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, the single biggest star in sports entertainment, undisputed Roman Reigns. :'''Roman''': Wise Man always has this saying, it's, "what's good for Roman Reigns, is good for WWE." And it's no secret. With me at the head of the table, the billion dollar deals are coming ''easy.'' And that's because I'm the last needle mover. And I'm the last needle mover because I am constantly operating at God Mode. But you see, your Tribal Chief is so much more than all that. I'm a man of my word. I called my shot, and I delivered! I said I was gonna smash Brock Lesnar, and what did I do? Smashed him! :But you see, that's the past now. Other men, they'd hang their hat on this weekend, but that's not who I am, because we're never content. I'm a progressive Tribal Chief, and I'm constantly moving forward. So this Friday on ''SmackDown'', we're gonna let y'all know what the next step is. But until then, Dallas, Texas...acknowledge me! ==External links== {{wikipedia|WWE Raw}} [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:USA shows]] [[Category:WWE]] [[Category:American sports TV shows]] [[Category:Paramount Network shows]] tloi0xktflthx5n64fc24bxy4374rej NYPD Blue 0 131508 3147523 2879962 2022-07-26T17:16:15Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[NYPD Blue (season 1)|1]] [[NYPD Blue (season 2)|2]] | [[NYPD Blue|Main]] ---- '''''[[w:NYPD Blue|NYPD Blue]]''''' (1993–2005) was an American TV show airing on [[w:ABC|ABC]], set in New York City, exploring the internal and external struggles of the fictional 15th precinct of Manhattan.

I'll play the part. After all, what is a drama without a villain? What is the building of this grand road if not a drama? This business is not for the weak of heart. It is a thorny, brutal affair that rewards the lion for his ferocity. But what of the zebra? What of the poor zebra? Well, the zebra's eaten, as the zebra should be. Make no mistake, blood will be spilled, lives will be lost, fortunes will be made, men will be ruined. There will be betrayal and scandals, and perfidy of epic proportions, but the lion - shall - prevail! You see, the secret I know is this. All of history is driven by the lion. We drag the poor zebra, kicking and braying, staining the earth with its cheap blood. History doesn't remember us fondly, but then history is written by the zebra for the zebra. One hundred years hence, when this railroad spans the continent, and America rises to be the greatest power the world has seen, I will be remembered as a caitiff, a malefactor, who only operated out of greed for personal gain. All true, all true, but remember this: without me and men like me, your glorious railroad would never be built. == External links == {{wikipedia|Hell on Wheels (TV series)}} * {{imdb title|2037275|Pilot}} * [http://www.amctv.com/shows/hell-on-wheels/ Hell On Wheels, AMC.] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:AMC shows]] 64gxjckb416k4l43z2pas3bd2k0z5uz The Lorax (2012 film) 0 134386 3147904 3145958 2022-07-26T23:41:22Z 73.168.254.34 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]''''' (also known as '''''Dr. Seuss' The Lorax''''') is a 2012 American [[w:computer animation|computer-animated]] [[w:List of 3-D films|3D]] [[w:musical film|musical]] [[w:comedy film|comedy film]] based on [[Dr. Seuss]]' [[w:children's book|children's book]] [[w:The Lorax|of the same name]].

Produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy.'' == The Lorax == * I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. * Who taught you guys how to steal a bed? * ''[notices Pipsqueak on the Once-ler’s bed]'' You gotta be kidding me. ''[to another Bar-ba-loot]'' Can he swim? ''[the Bar-ba-loot shakes his head]'' Of course he can't swim! Hang on, Pipsqueak! I'm comin' to get ya! * ''[after seeing Pipsqueak take and eat a truffula fruit]'' Ugh, bar-ba-loots. * ''[To the Once-ler]'' A tree falls in the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean. == Ted == * ''[referring to Audrey; to The Once-ler]'' Hey, she is not some girlǃ She's a woman… in high school… and she loves trees, and I'm gonna get her one. * I am Ted Wiggins, and I speak for the trees. And the fact is, things aren't perfect here in Thneedville! And they're only gonna get worse unless we do something about it! Unless we change our ways, we can start by planting ''this''! ''[holds up the truffula seed]'' == Audrey == * ''[Referring to her mural]'' Those are trees. ''Real ones.'' They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk. * What I want more than anything in the whole world is to see a real living tree, growing in my backyard. == The Once-ler == * ''[He puts on a pair of work gloves and grabs a large axe]'' Alright, here we go. About to make a Thneed, about to change the world. * Check it out, guys. ''[looks around, noticing all of the animals are gone]'' Where did everybody go? ''[shrugs, then grabs the tree by the trunk and drags it away toward his cottage]'' * Little did I know that by chopping down that tree I had just summoned a mystical creature as old as time itself. The legendary, slightly annoying guardian of the forest. The Lorax. * ''[admiring his first thneed]'' Now that's a thneed! Nothing unmanly about knitting. No sir! * Oh, yeah! We're in business, baby! ''[closing Everybody Needs a Thneed]'' Mom? Hey, it's me! I told you I was going to be a success! You need to bring the whole family here right now. We're going to be rich! What? I'm going to need all the help I can get. Don't worry. * ''[closing How Bad Can I Be]'' All the customers are buying, and the money's multiplying, and the PR people are lying, ''[A Thneed is thrown on the Lorax as a picture is taken. A billboard featuring the picture reads "Lorax Approved"]'' and the lawyers are denying. Who cares if a few trees are dying? This is all so gratifying! How bad, how bad can this possibly be?! * ''[To Ted]'' Because Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better... It's not. * ''[To Ted; referring to the last Truffula seed]'' Change the way things are. I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become. That's not just a seed... any more than you're just a boy. * ''[opens the window for the first time as he hears the city singing "Let it Grow" and is on the verge of tears]'' Thank you, Ted. == Mr. O'Hare == * ''[reffering to Ted]'' What?! Why is he leaving town? '''NO ONE EVER LEAVES TOWN!''' See what he's up to. * You listen to me, boy. Don't go poking around in things you don't understand, or I'll be your worst nightmare. I'm Frankenstein's head on a spider's body! * You've got a beautiful town here, Ted. Lots of fun stuff to occupy your short attention span. I can't think of any reason you'd ever wanna go outside of town again. Ever. * Nobody beats Aloysius O'Hare! ''[the elevator shuts]'' What?! ''[grunts "Damn it!"]'' * Bring it on, Teddy! You don't have the guts! * ''[going after Ted and his girlfriend and grandma after the Truffula seed, through a megaphone]'' '''YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS, BOY! BANG!''' * ''[last words as he sings "Let It Die"]'' C'mon, who's with me, huh? == Dialogue == :'''Ted''': So, anyway, let's just say, I need a tree. Where would I go? What do I do? :'''Grammy Norma''': Oh, then you know what? You'd need to find the Once-ler. :'''Ted''': The what? :'''Bernice Wiggins''': Mom, it's not really the time for one of your, you know, magical fables, OK? :'''Grammy Norma''': ''[laughs]'' That's right, I forgot. I'm old, and can't even remember to put my teeth in! :'''Bernice''': Stand down. That's not what I meant. :'''Grammy Norma''': No, really, I forgot my teeth. Would you be a dear and go get them for me? :'''Bernice''': ''[sighs]'' Sure, Mom. :'''Grammy Norma''': Okay, here the deal. The Once-ler's the man who knows what happened to the trees. If you want one, you need to find him. :'''Ted''': The Once-ler? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ted gets pulled up by a rope and pulley to the second floor window where the Once-ler confronts him angrily.]'' :'''Once-ler''': Who are you? Who are you and what are you doing here?! :'''Ted''': I'm Ted. I'm Ted. I can't breathe. Are you the Once-ler? Oh, man. :'''Once-ler''': Didn't you read the signs? No one is supposed to come here. Get out of here and leave me alone! And don't let the boot hit you on the way out. :'''Ted''': The boot? ''[gets kicked by said boot from behind]'' Whoa, hello! Ow! Listen! People say that if someone brings you this stuff that you will tell them about trees. ''[gets grabbed again]'' No, no, no! :'''Once-ler''': Trees? :'''Ted''': Yeah, real ones. You know, that grow out of the ground? ''[pause]'' Hello? :'''Once-ler''': Sorry, it's just... Well, I didn't think anyone still cared about trees. :'''Ted''': Well, that's me. The guy who still cares. I'm here. ''[gets put back down]'' Hey! What? Whoa! :'''The Once-ler''': You wanna know about trees, about what happened to them, (and) why they're all gone? ''[softly]'' {{small|It's because of me.}} :'''Ted''': Wait, what? ''[A Whisper-ma-Phone chutes down to him. He leans in to hear.]'' :'''Once-ler''': ''[shouts] <big>'''IT'S BECAUSE OF ME!'''</big> [Ted coughs]'' And my invention, the Thneed. It was an amazing product that could do the job of 1,000. :'''Ted''': All right. Sounds ridiculous, but I mean, that's cool. :'''Once-ler''': You're darn right it was cool! ''[starting to explain what happened to the trees]'' It all started a long time ago. :'''Ted''': Can we start not so long ago, maybe? :'''Once-ler''': Do you want a tree? :'''Ted''': Yes, yes. (Go on.) :'''Once-ler''': Then it all started a long, <big>''long''</big> time ago. ''[scene flashes back to the Once-ler as a young man]'' I was a young man leaving home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ted''': ''[interrupting the story]'' Hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute. :'''Once-ler''': Excuse me? :'''Ted''': ''[chuckles]'' Yeah. That's awesome. You know, feeding junk food to forest animals? That's great. But, uh, is there a musical number where you show me how to get a tree? 'Cause I'd love to hear that one. :'''Once-ler''': Oh, yes. Right after the musical number about the kid who kept interrupting the story and was never heard from ever again. Hmm? :'''Ted''': Right. Got it. Proceed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Lorax''': ''[first meeting the Once-ler]'' Hey! :''[The Once-ler shrieks and falls backwards]'' :'''The Lorax''': Did you chop down this tree? :'''Once-ler''': Uh, no. Who did it? ''[gasps]'' What's that?! ''[the Lorax looks back and Once-ler drops his axe on Pipsqueak the Bar-ba-loot, blaming him]'' I think he did it. :'''The Lorax''': ''[growls]'' Leave! Vacate the premises! Take your axe and get out! :'''The Once-ler''': And who are you? ''[pokes the Lorax]'' :'''The Lorax''': Hey, hey! I'm the Lorax, guardian of the forest. I speak for the trees. ''[The Once-ler stares at him]'' So you're telling me that you didn't see me magically appear out of that stump, with all the lightning and thunder and stuff. You didn't see any of that? :'''The Once-ler''': No, but that sounds amazing. Can I see some of that? :'''The Lorax''': Uh, yeah. I could show you, but that's not how it works. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[condescending]'' OK, um... Didn’t really happen. Oh, I know what you want! ''[pokes Lorax’s nose, He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Marshmallow. Holds it out.]'' ''[baby talk]'' I’ve got one of these for the cutest little guy I ever saw. Yummy-yummy-yummy... ''[The Lorax stares at the marshmallow]'' :'''The Lorax''': How dare you! Give me that! ''[grabs the marshmallow. Sniffs it. It smells good]'' Mmm. I'm going to eat this, but I am highly offended by it.''[plops it into his mouth, then makes his way over to the Once-ler’s tent-house which is being supported by stakes and ropes. He kicks out a stake and the canvas starts to sag]'' :'''The Once-ler''': Whoa! What are you... Hey, Mustache! Will you stop that? ''[The Lorax continues circling around the tent-house pulling up stakes. He grabs his hammer and follows, pounding them back in.]'' What's your deal, man? :'''The Lorax''': ''[They circle faster and faster around the tent-houses he pull up each stake and the Once-ler pounding them back in.]'' Time for you to go, Beanpole! :'''The Once-ler''': Pull them right out. Just going to put them right back in. We can do this all day. :''[until the Once-ler turns a corner and is about to bring his hammer down on Pipsqueak. The Lorax has placed him right where the stake would have been. The Lorax holds up his hand to stop the Once-ler]'' :'''The Lorax''': Stop right there! Stop it! So you would hammer one of nature's innocent creatures? :''[The Lorax pats Pipsqueak on the head and he happily runs offscreen]'' :'''The Once-ler''': ''[After the Lorax accuses him of harming Pipsqueak after almost hitting him with a hammer]'' What? No! I would never hit this little guy. You, on the other hand, I would gladly pound you and your mustache into the ground! :''[The Lorax turns to all of the watching animals]'' :'''The Lorax''': Behold! The intruder and his violent ways. ''[To Once-Ler]'' Shame on you. For shame! :''[The Once-ler drops the hammer and hides it behind his feet. Then he sees all of the animals nodding their heads in agreement. He’s had it. :'''The Once-ler''': All right, you know what? That's it! ''[Points at Lorax]'' You listen to me, you furry meatloaf. I'm going to chop down as many trees as I need. Okay? Newsflash! Not going anywhere! End of story. ''[He turns and enters his cottage. His sticks his tongue out and does Raspberries to the Lorax before slamming the door behind him! He sighs heavily, shaking his head]'' :'''The Lorax''': Then you leave me no choice. ''[Startled, the Once-ler turns and sees that the Lorax is somehow inside with him. He points a threatening finger at the Once-ler and speaks in a spooky voice as if he’s casting a spell]'' If you're not gone by the time the sun sets on this valley, all the forces of nature will be unleashed upon you and curse you until the end of your days! You have been warned. ''[Lorax turns to make a dramatic exit, but can’t reach the doorknob of Once-ler’s door. He hops a couple of times. Finally, the Once-ler lets him out.]'' Thanks. :'''The Once-ler''': Yeah, okay. :'''The Lorax''': You have been warned. :''[The Lorax storms out and slams the door, leaving the Once-ler alone in his cottage.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Once-ler''': Why are you so interested in trees anyway? Why aren't you like other kids? Break-dancing and wearing bell-bottoms and playing the Donkey Kongs? :'''Ted''': ''[laughs]'' Yeah. Right, right. I don't know. Uh, I just thought it might be kinda cool to have one, you know. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[knowingly]'' Aaah, it's a girl, isn't it? :'''Ted''': ''[scoffs]'' What? No! :'''The Once-ler''': Really? 'Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well, that's because he's a guy, but if he does the same stupid thing ''twice'', that's usually to impress some girl. :'''Ted''': ''[about Audrey]'' Hey, she is not some girlǃ She's a woman… in high school… and she loves trees, and I'm gonna get her one. :'''The Once-ler''': Aww. How nice to see someone so undeterred by things like ''reality''. :'''Ted''': ''[sincerely]'' Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Once-ler''': ''[has just been revived by the Lorax]'' I was heading into the light, and you pulled me right back, and here I am! ''[hugs the Lorax]'' You saved my life! :'''The Lorax''': Yeah, I did, but you know, it's not that big a deal. :'''The Once-ler''': It is a big deal! Look, I almost went over that waterfall! ''[realizes]'' Wait... On my bed. How did my bed get in the river? :'''The Lorax''': Uh, about that, uh... actually, um... ''[mumbles]'' I put your bed in the water. ''[The Once-ler drops him in shock]'' I didn't mean you any harm. I just wanted to calmly float you away. Look, everyone here needs the trees and you're chopping them down! So, we've got a big problem. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[Pipsqueak nuzzling at Once-Ler's feet, to the Lorax]'' Alright, look. I hereby swear that I will never chop down another tree. I promise. ''(Are you happy now?)'' :'''The Lorax''': ''[To the Once-ler]'' Thank you, but I'm going to keep my eye on you. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[After surviving the waterfall incident]'' Now, I've got a big day tomorrow, and I'm gonna get some sleep. ''[walks away, then comes back]'' Right after I find my bed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Once-ler''': ''[screams and wakes up to find the Lorax sleeping in his bed, the Lorax also screams and wakes up, punching the Once-ler's nose]'' Ow! Okay, what are you...? ''[noticing the Bar-ba-loots, Humming Fish, and Swommee-Swans are sleeping in his house]'' Question, what are ''they'' doing here? And follow up if I may, what are ''you'' doing here?! :'''The Lorax''': Well, after the incident last night, we found one of your socks and came here to return it, but when we got here, you were asleep. :'''The Once-ler''': What? Exactly, and sleeping is the body's way of telling other people to go away. :'''The Lorax''': I know, but you looked so cozy. And it was cold outside, and we just fell asleep. No harm done. :'''The Once-ler''': "No harm done", "no harm done"? Okay. ''[sees fish bathing in soap]'' Okay, I put my lips on those. Well, I used to, anyway. ''[sees a bird laying an egg]'' Ew. Did you just... in my bowl?! :'''The Lorax''': ''[uses the Once-ler's toothbrush to comb his mustache]'' Why do you even own this? You don't have a mustache. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[disgusted and angry]'' Ugh! Okay, that's it! :'''The Lorax''': What? I thought we made a deal last night. :'''The Once-ler''': Yes, we did. And I said I wouldn't chop down any more trees. :'''The Lorax''': And I said I was going to keep an eye on you. I'm starving! What's for breakfast? ''[looks into the fridge to find the big Bar-ba-loot eating entire cubes of butter]'' Breakfast is overrated. ''[closes the fridge door]'' :'''The Once-ler''': ''[strains]'' You know what? I got work to do. ''[quickly changes outfit]'' Yep! I got to go into town and sell my Thneed! :'''The Lorax''': ''[when the Once-ler shows the Thneed to him; laughs]'' You chopped down one of my trees to make that piece of garbage? :'''The Once-ler''': "Garbage"? Oh, no. Oh, no! You do not get it. This is a revolutionary product that will change the world as we know it. ''[walks over to the Bar-ba-loots sleeping on the table and brushes them all off]'' It has 1,000,000 uses! ''[He reaches under the table and pulls up Lou who is now wearing the Thneed as underwear]'' Look at this. It's a swimsuit! ''[Then he points to the muddy animal tracks on the floor.]'' Mud tracked all over your floor by uninvited guests? Well, the Thneed sure comes in handy for that! ''[He uses it to wipe up the mud tracks]'' But wait, there's more! Thanks to its all-natural microfibers, the Thneed is super-absorbent! ''[Then he goes to the fish swimming a glass filled with water. Shoves the Thneed into the glass. SLUUUURP! It instantly soaks up all the water, leaving the irritated fish standing in the dry glass.]'' It also works as a hat. ''[plops the Thneed onto Lorax’s head. SPLURCH! It’s sopping wet and drips all over him. The Lorax gives the Once- ler a look]'' Of course, you probably want to wring it out first. :'''The Lorax''': ''[takes the Thneed off his head and throws it at the Once-ler.]'' Go ahead. Knock yourself out, but nobody is going to buy that thing. :'''The Once-ler''': Good to know. Well, fortunately, you are not the target market, weirdo. :''[The Once-ler strums his guitar.]'' :'''The Lorax''': You're bringing a guitar? :'''The Once-ler''': Oh, yeah. I got a little jingle. I'm gonna blow some minds, gonna sell some Thneeds! ''[He holds up the Thneed defiantly.]'' Yeah. ''[slams the door, waking up a Swommee-Swan, who HONKS.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[In deleted scene, The Man tosses the Thneed which lands on a nerdy teen girl's head, knocking her glasses off and letting her hair down. She slowly flips her hair with the Thneed on her head as if there was supposed to be a dramatic change to her appearance.]'' :'''Teen Boy''': Hey. Cool hat. :'''Teen Girl 1''': Oh, my gosh. I totally want one. :'''Teen Girl 2''': That thing makes me like you more. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grizelda''': ''[referring to the Lorax]'' So, who invited the giant furry peanut? :'''The Lorax''': You callin' me a peanut, huh? I'll go right up your nose! :'''Grizelda''': Ha! ''[advances on him]'' :'''The Once-ler''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! You wouldn't hit a woman. :'''The Lorax''': ''[gasps]'' That's a ''woman''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Lorax''': Happy yet? You filled that hole deep down inside you, or do you still need more? :'''The Once-ler''': Look, if you've got a problem with what I'm doing, why haven't you used your quote-unquote "powers" to stop me? :'''The Lorax''': I told you, that's not how it works. :'''The Once-ler''': Right, I forgot... you're a fraud. I need you to get out! Now! :'''The Lorax''': Why? Do I make you uncomfortable, remind you of the promises you made, the man you used to be? :'''The Once-ler''': You know what? You can just shut your mustache! ''[Begins inching towards the Lorax, who backs away]'' My conscience is clear. I have done nothing illegal, I have my rights, and I intend to keep on biggering and biggering, and turning more Truffula trees in to Thneeds! ''[The Lorax falls backwards and hits the ground.]'' '''And nothing is going to stop me!''' :''[In the distance, a loud motor is heard. The Once-ler and Lorax both look and see the VERY LAST TRUFFULA TREE being chopped down by a Super Axe-Hacker.]'' :'''The Lorax''': That's it. The very last one. That may stop you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bernice''': Ted, I would like you to meet Mr. O'Hare, the most powerful man in town. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': ''[Ted shocked in surprise.]'' There he is! Hello, Ted. :'''Ted''': Uh... Hi. :'''Bernice''': Isn't he clever, Mr. O'Hare? He knows his own name and everything. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': You know what I would love right now, Mrs. Wiggins? A delicious cookie. Wonderful. Teddy and I'll stay here and talk. :'''Bernice''': Sure, why don't you go ahead and adopt him? I'm just kidding. That was a joke. I was just joking. I'll get your cookie. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': I know you have it, Ted. So, let's put an end to this nonsense, shall we? ''[Ted angrily faces him]'' Hand it over. :'''Ted''': I'm sorry... I don't know what you're talking about. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Really? Well, then... I guess you wouldn't mind us checking your room. :'''Ted''': No, no, no! :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Morty! McGurk! Find the seed! :'''Ted''': No, you can't go up there! Guys, this is ridiculous. Stop! Hey! No, you can't come in my room! :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Find it! ''[O'Hare barges into Ted's room trying to find and destroy the Truffula seed]'' Find it! :'''Bernice''': What is going on here? :'''Mr. O'Hare''': ''[to Bernice, after she comes up stairs and what's going on]'' '''THIS DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU!''' Get back downstairs! :'''Bernice''': ''[to O’Hare]'' Excuse me, down there! I don't care who you are, you little crazy baby-man! Get out of my house now. This is outrageous. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Fine. Sorry. ''[chuckles]'' Must have been a misunderstanding. We'll be leaving now. And my apologies, Ted. You be safe. ''[O’Hare takes the plate of cookies with Mrs. Wiggins Holding him.]'' :'''Bernice''': Mind telling me what's going on here? :'''Ted''': The seed! Where is it? :'''Bernice''': Seed? :''[Ted finds Grammy Norma's cane]'' :'''Ted''': Where's Grammy? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Audrey''': ''[to Ted]'' I could just kiss you right now! ''[Ted and Audrey lean in to kiss, but Ted's mother stops them]'' :'''Bernice''': ''Oop!'' We don't have time for that! :'''Ted''': I dunno, we have a little time. ''[Audrey and his mom stare at him]'' You know what? Let's just go. Let's go. Forget about it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Once-ler, now elderly with a white mustache, reunites with the Lorax, laughing]'' :'''The Lorax''': You done good, Beanpole. You done good. ''[chuckles]'' By the way, nice mustache. == About ''{{PAGENAME}}'' == * One of the funny things that we discovered was that because they don't look like trees or animals that we understand or relate to directly, you have to create, based on Seuss' illustrations, something that's believable. Because the Truffula trees are beautiful -- they look like cotton candy. But, by the same token, you have to create something that the audience feels something for. So it can't just feel like Candy Land; you have to buy it as a real forest. So we looked at Birch trees and then figured out how to make those wonderful illustrations work in a 3-D movie. It's a real fantasy forest that you could relate to when it's being chopped down. * We had a design that was very city-like and very dense, which wasn't quite working. But we went back and looked at a little drawing in the upper corner of the page when the little boy is first coming to look at the Lorax. And we sort of used that as our basis: it's got these big, curvy roads and a couple of building shapes. In some ways, the easier choice would've been to create a Blade Runner-like dystopian future with smog. But of course we wanted to create something that was fun and entertaining, but in some way relates a little more about where we are today, with inflatable bushes and plastic flowers and fake nature that still has a sense of fun, much like Disneyland or Las Vegas or Dubai. So, in the movie that felt like a great way to go but also suggesting that you have to be careful to maintain balance with nature so it can be sustained. :* Chris Renaud [http://www.awn.com/animationworld/chris-renaud-talks-lorax/ "Chris Renaud Talks 'The Lorax'"], as interviewed by Bill Desowitz, ''Animation World Network'', Friday, March 2, 2012. == Cast == * [[w:Danny DeVito|Danny DeVito]] — The Lorax * [[w:Ed Helms|Ed Helms]] — The Once-ler * [[w:Zac Efron|Zac Efron]] — Ted * [[Taylor Swift]] — Audrey * [[w:Rob Riggle|Rob Riggle]] — Mr. O'Hare * [[w:Jenny Slate|Jenny Slate]] — Bernice * [[w:Betty White|Betty White]] — Grammy Norma == See Also == * [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (film)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]] * [[The Cat in the Hat (film)|The Cat in the Hat]] * [[Horton Hears a Who!

Produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy.'' == The Lorax == * I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. * Who taught you guys how to steal a bed? * ''[notices Pipsqueak on the Once-ler’s bed]'' You gotta be kidding me. ''[to another Bar-ba-loot]'' Can he swim? ''[the Bar-ba-loot shakes his head]'' Of course he can't swim! Hang on, Pipsqueak! I'm comin' to get ya! * ''[after seeing Pipsqueak take and eat a truffula fruit]'' Ugh, bar-ba-loots. * ''[To the Once-ler]'' A tree falls in the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean. == Ted == * ''[referring to Audrey; to The Once-ler]'' Hey, she is not some girlǃ She's a woman… in high school… and she loves trees, and I'm gonna get her one. * I am Ted Wiggins, and I speak for the trees. And the fact is, things aren't perfect here in Thneedville! And they're only gonna get worse unless we do something about it! Unless we change our ways, we can start by planting ''this''! ''[holds up the truffula seed]'' == Audrey == * ''[Referring to her mural]'' Those are trees. ''Real ones.'' They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk. * What I want more than anything in the whole world is to see a real living tree, growing in my backyard. == The Once-ler == * ''[He puts on a pair of work gloves and grabs a large axe]'' Alright, here we go. About to make a Thneed, about to change the world. * Check it out, guys. ''[looks around, noticing all of the animals are gone]'' Where did everybody go? ''[shrugs, then grabs the tree by the trunk and drags it away toward his cottage]'' * Little did I know that by chopping down that tree I had just summoned a mystical creature as old as time itself. The legendary, slightly annoying guardian of the forest. The Lorax. * ''[admiring his first thneed]'' Now that's a thneed! Nothing unmanly about knitting. No sir! * Oh, yeah! We're in business, baby! ''[closing Everybody Needs a Thneed]'' Mom? Hey, it's me! I told you I was going to be a success! You need to bring the whole family here right now. We're going to be rich! What? I'm going to need all the help I can get. Don't worry. * ''[closing How Bad Can I Be]'' All the customers are buying, and the money's multiplying, and the PR people are lying, ''[A Thneed is thrown on the Lorax as a picture is taken. A billboard featuring the picture reads "Lorax Approved"]'' and the lawyers are denying. Who cares if a few trees are dying? This is all so gratifying! How bad, how bad can this possibly be?! * ''[To Ted]'' Because Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better... It's not. * ''[To Ted; referring to the last Truffula seed]'' Change the way things are. I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become. That's not just a seed... any more than you're just a boy. * ''[opens the window for the first time as he hears the city singing "Let it Grow" and is on the verge of tears]'' Thank you, Ted. == Mr. O'Hare == * ''[reffering to Ted]'' What?! Why is he leaving town? '''NO ONE EVER LEAVES TOWN!''' See what he's up to. * You listen to me, boy. Don't go poking around in things you don't understand, or I'll be your worst nightmare. I'm Frankenstein's head on a spider's body! * You've got a beautiful town here, Ted. Lots of fun stuff to occupy your short attention span. I can't think of any reason you'd ever wanna go outside of town again. Ever. * Nobody beats Aloysius O'Hare! ''[the elevator shuts]'' What?! ''[grunts "Damn it!"]'' * Bring it on, Teddy! You don't have the guts! * ''[going after Ted and his girlfriend and grandma after the Truffula seed, through a megaphone]'' '''YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS, BOY! BANG!''' * ''[last words as he sings "Let It Die"]'' C'mon, who's with me, huh? == Dialogue == :'''Ted''': So, anyway, let's just say, I need a tree. Where would I go? What do I do? :'''Grammy Norma''': Oh, then you know what? You'd need to find the Once-ler. :'''Ted''': The what? :'''Bernice Wiggins''': Mom, it's not really the time for one of your, you know, magical fables, OK? :'''Grammy Norma''': ''[laughs]'' That's right, I forgot. I'm old, and can't even remember to put my teeth in! :'''Bernice''': Stand down. That's not what I meant. :'''Grammy Norma''': No, really, I forgot my teeth. Would you be a dear and go get them for me? :'''Bernice''': ''[sighs]'' Sure, Mom. :'''Grammy Norma''': Okay, here the deal. The Once-ler's the man who knows what happened to the trees. If you want one, you need to find him. :'''Ted''': The Once-ler? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ted gets pulled up by a rope and pulley to the second floor window where the Once-ler confronts him angrily.]'' :'''Once-ler''': Who are you? Who are you and what are you doing here?! :'''Ted''': I'm Ted. I'm Ted. I can't breathe. Are you the Once-ler? Oh, man. :'''Once-ler''': Didn't you read the signs? No one is supposed to come here. Get out of here and leave me alone! And don't let the boot hit you on the way out. :'''Ted''': The boot? ''[gets kicked by said boot from behind]'' Whoa, hello! Ow! Listen! People say that if someone brings you this stuff that you will tell them about trees. ''[gets grabbed again]'' No, no, no! :'''Once-ler''': Trees? :'''Ted''': Yeah, real ones. You know, that grow out of the ground? ''[pause]'' Hello? :'''Once-ler''': Sorry, it's just... Well, I didn't think anyone still cared about trees. :'''Ted''': Well, that's me. The guy who still cares. I'm here. ''[gets put back down]'' Hey! What? Whoa! :'''The Once-ler''': You wanna know about trees, about what happened to them, (and) why they're all gone? ''[softly]'' {{small|It's because of me.}} :'''Ted''': Wait, what? ''[A Whisper-ma-Phone chutes down to him. He leans in to hear.]'' :'''Once-ler''': ''[shouts] <big>'''IT'S BECAUSE OF ME!'''</big> [Ted coughs]'' And my invention, the Thneed. It was an amazing product that could do the job of 1,000. :'''Ted''': All right. Sounds ridiculous, but I mean, that's cool. :'''Once-ler''': You're darn right it was cool! ''[starting to explain what happened to the trees]'' It all started a long time ago. :'''Ted''': Can we start not so long ago, maybe? :'''Once-ler''': Do you want a tree? :'''Ted''': Yes, yes. (Go on.) :'''Once-ler''': Then it all started a long, <big>''long''</big> time ago. ''[scene flashes back to the Once-ler as a young man]'' I was a young man leaving home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ted''': ''[interrupting the story]'' Hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute. :'''Once-ler''': Excuse me? :'''Ted''': ''[chuckles]'' Yeah. That's awesome. You know, feeding junk food to forest animals? That's great. But, uh, is there a musical number where you show me how to get a tree? 'Cause I'd love to hear that one. :'''Once-ler''': Oh, yes. Right after the musical number about the kid who kept interrupting the story and was never heard from ever again. Hmm? :'''Ted''': Right. Got it. Proceed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Lorax''': ''[first meeting the Once-ler]'' Hey! :''[The Once-ler shrieks and falls backwards]'' :'''The Lorax''': Did you chop down this tree? :'''Once-ler''': Uh, no. Who did it? ''[gasps]'' What's that?! ''[the Lorax looks back and Once-ler drops his axe on Pipsqueak the Bar-ba-loot, blaming him]'' I think he did it. :'''The Lorax''': ''[growls]'' Leave! Vacate the premises! Take your axe and get out! :'''The Once-ler''': And who are you? ''[pokes the Lorax]'' :'''The Lorax''': Hey, hey! I'm the Lorax, guardian of the forest. I speak for the trees. ''[The Once-ler stares at him]'' So you're telling me that you didn't see me magically appear out of that stump, with all the lightning and thunder and stuff. You didn't see any of that? :'''The Once-ler''': No, but that sounds amazing. Can I see some of that? :'''The Lorax''': Uh, yeah. I could show you, but that's not how it works. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[condescending]'' OK, um... Didn’t really happen. Oh, I know what you want! ''[pokes Lorax’s nose, He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Marshmallow. Holds it out.]'' ''[baby talk]'' I’ve got one of these for the cutest little guy I ever saw. Yummy-yummy-yummy... ''[The Lorax stares at the marshmallow]'' :'''The Lorax''': How dare you! Give me that! ''[grabs the marshmallow. Sniffs it. It smells good]'' Mmm. I'm going to eat this, but I am highly offended by it.''[plops it into his mouth, then makes his way over to the Once-ler’s tent-house which is being supported by stakes and ropes. He kicks out a stake and the canvas starts to sag]'' :'''The Once-ler''': Whoa! What are you... Hey, Mustache! Will you stop that? ''[The Lorax continues circling around the tent-house pulling up stakes. He grabs his hammer and follows, pounding them back in.]'' What's your deal, man? :'''The Lorax''': ''[They circle faster and faster around the tent-houses he pull up each stake and the Once-ler pounding them back in.]'' Time for you to go, Beanpole! :'''The Once-ler''': Pull them right out. Just going to put them right back in. We can do this all day. :''[until the Once-ler turns a corner and is about to bring his hammer down on Pipsqueak. The Lorax has placed him right where the stake would have been. The Lorax holds up his hand to stop the Once-ler]'' :'''The Lorax''': Stop right there! Stop it! So you would hammer one of nature's innocent creatures? :''[The Lorax pats Pipsqueak on the head and he happily runs offscreen]'' :'''The Once-ler''': ''[After the Lorax accuses him of harming Pipsqueak after almost hitting him with a hammer]'' What? No! I would never hit this little guy. You, on the other hand, I would gladly pound you and your mustache into the ground! :''[The Lorax turns to all of the watching animals]'' :'''The Lorax''': Behold! The intruder and his violent ways. ''[To Once-Ler]'' Shame on you. For shame! :''[The Once-ler drops the hammer and hides it behind his feet. Then he sees all of the animals nodding their heads in agreement. He’s had it. :'''The Once-ler''': All right, you know what? That's it! ''[Points at Lorax]'' You listen to me, you furry meatloaf. I'm going to chop down as many trees as I need. Okay? Newsflash! Not going anywhere! End of story. ''[He turns and enters his cottage. His sticks his tongue out and does Raspberries to the Lorax before slamming the door behind him! He sighs heavily, shaking his head]'' :'''The Lorax''': Then you leave me no choice. ''[Startled, the Once-ler turns and sees that the Lorax is somehow inside with him. He points a threatening finger at the Once-ler and speaks in a spooky voice as if he’s casting a spell]'' If you're not gone by the time the sun sets on this valley, all the forces of nature will be unleashed upon you and curse you until the end of your days! You have been warned. ''[Lorax turns to make a dramatic exit, but can’t reach the doorknob of Once-ler’s door. He hops a couple of times. Finally, the Once-ler lets him out.]'' Thanks. :'''The Once-ler''': Yeah, okay. :'''The Lorax''': You have been warned. :''[The Lorax storms out and slams the door, leaving the Once-ler alone in his cottage.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Once-ler''': Why are you so interested in trees anyway? Why aren't you like other kids? Break-dancing and wearing bell-bottoms and playing the Donkey Kongs? :'''Ted''': ''[laughs]'' Yeah. Right, right. I don't know. Uh, I just thought it might be kinda cool to have one, you know. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[knowingly]'' Aaah, it's a girl, isn't it? :'''Ted''': ''[scoffs]'' What? No! :'''The Once-ler''': Really? 'Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well, that's because he's a guy, but if he does the same stupid thing ''twice'', that's usually to impress some girl. :'''Ted''': ''[about Audrey]'' Hey, she is not some girlǃ She's a woman… in high school… and she loves trees, and I'm gonna get her one. :'''The Once-ler''': Aww. How nice to see someone so undeterred by things like ''reality''. :'''Ted''': ''[sincerely]'' Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Once-ler''': ''[has just been revived by the Lorax]'' I was heading into the light, and you pulled me right back, and here I am! ''[hugs the Lorax]'' You saved my life! :'''The Lorax''': Yeah, I did, but you know, it's not that big a deal. :'''The Once-ler''': It is a big deal! Look, I almost went over that waterfall! ''[realizes]'' Wait... On my bed. How did my bed get in the river? :'''The Lorax''': Uh, about that, uh... actually, um... ''[mumbles]'' I put your bed in the water. ''[The Once-ler drops him in shock]'' I didn't mean you any harm. I just wanted to calmly float you away. Look, everyone here needs the trees and you're chopping them down! So, we've got a big problem. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[Pipsqueak nuzzling at Once-Ler's feet, to the Lorax]'' Alright, look. I hereby swear that I will never chop down another tree. I promise. ''(Are you happy now?)'' :'''The Lorax''': ''[To the Once-ler]'' Thank you, but I'm going to keep my eye on you. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[After surviving the waterfall incident]'' Now, I've got a big day tomorrow, and I'm gonna get some sleep. ''[walks away, then comes back]'' Right after I find my bed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Once-ler''': ''[screams and wakes up to find the Lorax sleeping in his bed, the Lorax also screams and wakes up, punching the Once-ler's nose]'' Ow! Okay, what are you...? ''[stops upon noticing that the Bar-ba-loots, Humming Fish, and Swommee-Swans are also sleeping in his house]'' Question, what are ''they'' doing here? And follow up if I may, what are ''you'' doing here?! :'''The Lorax''': Well, after the incident last night, we found one of your socks and came here to return it, but when we got here, you were asleep. :'''The Once-ler''': What? Exactly, and sleeping is the body's way of telling other people to go away. :'''The Lorax''': I know, but you looked so cozy. And it was cold outside, and we just fell asleep. No harm done. :'''The Once-ler''': "No harm done", "no harm done"? Okay. ''[sees fish bathing in soap]'' Okay, I put my lips on those. Well, I used to, anyway. ''[sees a bird laying an egg]'' Ew. Did you just... in my bowl?! :'''The Lorax''': ''[uses the Once-ler's toothbrush to comb his mustache]'' Why do you even own this? You don't have a mustache. :'''The Once-ler''': ''[disgusted and angry]'' Ugh! Okay, that's it! :'''The Lorax''': What? I thought we made a deal last night. :'''The Once-ler''': Yes, we did. And I said I wouldn't chop down any more trees. :'''The Lorax''': And I said I was going to keep an eye on you. I'm starving! What's for breakfast? ''[looks into the fridge to find the big Bar-ba-loot eating entire cubes of butter]'' Breakfast is overrated. ''[closes the fridge door]'' :'''The Once-ler''': ''[strains]'' You know what? I got work to do. ''[quickly changes outfit]'' Yep! I got to go into town and sell my Thneed! :'''The Lorax''': ''[when the Once-ler shows the Thneed to him; laughs]'' You chopped down one of my trees to make that piece of garbage? :'''The Once-ler''': "Garbage"? Oh, no. Oh, no! You do not get it. This is a revolutionary product that will change the world as we know it. ''[walks over to the Bar-ba-loots sleeping on the table and brushes them all off]'' It has 1,000,000 uses! ''[He reaches under the table and pulls up Lou who is now wearing the Thneed as underwear]'' Look at this. It's a swimsuit! ''[Then he points to the muddy animal tracks on the floor.]'' Mud tracked all over your floor by uninvited guests? Well, the Thneed sure comes in handy for that! ''[He uses it to wipe up the mud tracks]'' But wait, there's more! Thanks to its all-natural microfibers, the Thneed is super-absorbent! ''[Then he goes to the fish swimming a glass filled with water. Shoves the Thneed into the glass. SLUUUURP! It instantly soaks up all the water, leaving the irritated fish standing in the dry glass.]'' It also works as a hat. ''[plops the Thneed onto Lorax’s head. SPLURCH! It’s sopping wet and drips all over him. The Lorax gives the Once- ler a look]'' Of course, you probably want to wring it out first. :'''The Lorax''': ''[takes the Thneed off his head and throws it at the Once-ler.]'' Go ahead. Knock yourself out, but nobody is going to buy that thing. :'''The Once-ler''': Good to know. Well, fortunately, you are not the target market, weirdo. :''[The Once-ler strums his guitar.]'' :'''The Lorax''': You're bringing a guitar? :'''The Once-ler''': Oh, yeah. I got a little jingle. I'm gonna blow some minds, gonna sell some Thneeds! ''[He holds up the Thneed defiantly.]'' Yeah. ''[slams the door, waking up a Swommee-Swan, who HONKS.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[In deleted scene, The Man tosses the Thneed which lands on a nerdy teen girl's head, knocking her glasses off and letting her hair down. She slowly flips her hair with the Thneed on her head as if there was supposed to be a dramatic change to her appearance.]'' :'''Teen Boy''': Hey. Cool hat. :'''Teen Girl 1''': Oh, my gosh. I totally want one. :'''Teen Girl 2''': That thing makes me like you more. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grizelda''': ''[referring to the Lorax]'' So, who invited the giant furry peanut? :'''The Lorax''': You callin' me a peanut, huh? I'll go right up your nose! :'''Grizelda''': Ha! ''[advances on him]'' :'''The Once-ler''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! You wouldn't hit a woman. :'''The Lorax''': ''[gasps]'' That's a ''woman''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Lorax''': Happy yet? You filled that hole deep down inside you, or do you still need more? :'''The Once-ler''': Look, if you've got a problem with what I'm doing, why haven't you used your quote-unquote "powers" to stop me? :'''The Lorax''': I told you, that's not how it works. :'''The Once-ler''': Right, I forgot... you're a fraud. I need you to get out! Now! :'''The Lorax''': Why? Do I make you uncomfortable, remind you of the promises you made, the man you used to be? :'''The Once-ler''': You know what? You can just shut your mustache! ''[Begins inching towards the Lorax, who backs away]'' My conscience is clear. I have done nothing illegal, I have my rights, and I intend to keep on biggering and biggering, and turning more Truffula trees in to Thneeds! ''[The Lorax falls backwards and hits the ground.]'' '''And nothing is going to stop me!''' :''[In the distance, a loud motor is heard. The Once-ler and Lorax both look and see the VERY LAST TRUFFULA TREE being chopped down by a Super Axe-Hacker.]'' :'''The Lorax''': That's it. The very last one. That may stop you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bernice''': Ted, I would like you to meet Mr. O'Hare, the most powerful man in town. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': ''[Ted shocked in surprise.]'' There he is! Hello, Ted. :'''Ted''': Uh... Hi. :'''Bernice''': Isn't he clever, Mr. O'Hare? He knows his own name and everything. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': You know what I would love right now, Mrs. Wiggins? A delicious cookie. Wonderful. Teddy and I'll stay here and talk. :'''Bernice''': Sure, why don't you go ahead and adopt him? I'm just kidding. That was a joke. I was just joking. I'll get your cookie. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': I know you have it, Ted. So, let's put an end to this nonsense, shall we? ''[Ted angrily faces him]'' Hand it over. :'''Ted''': I'm sorry... I don't know what you're talking about. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Really? Well, then... I guess you wouldn't mind us checking your room. :'''Ted''': No, no, no! :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Morty! McGurk! Find the seed! :'''Ted''': No, you can't go up there! Guys, this is ridiculous. Stop! Hey! No, you can't come in my room! :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Find it! ''[O'Hare barges into Ted's room trying to find and destroy the Truffula seed]'' Find it! :'''Bernice''': What is going on here? :'''Mr. O'Hare''': ''[to Bernice, after she comes up stairs and what's going on]'' '''THIS DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU!''' Get back downstairs! :'''Bernice''': ''[to O’Hare]'' Excuse me, down there! I don't care who you are, you little crazy baby-man! Get out of my house now. This is outrageous. :'''Mr. O'Hare''': Fine. Sorry. ''[chuckles]'' Must have been a misunderstanding. We'll be leaving now. And my apologies, Ted. You be safe. ''[O’Hare takes the plate of cookies with Mrs. Wiggins Holding him.]'' :'''Bernice''': Mind telling me what's going on here? :'''Ted''': The seed! Where is it? :'''Bernice''': Seed? :''[Ted finds Grammy Norma's cane]'' :'''Ted''': Where's Grammy? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Audrey''': ''[to Ted]'' I could just kiss you right now! ''[Ted and Audrey lean in to kiss, but Ted's mother stops them]'' :'''Bernice''': ''Oop!'' We don't have time for that! :'''Ted''': I dunno, we have a little time. ''[Audrey and his mom stare at him]'' You know what? Let's just go. Let's go. Forget about it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Once-ler, now elderly with a white mustache, reunites with the Lorax, laughing]'' :'''The Lorax''': You done good, Beanpole. You done good. ''[chuckles]'' By the way, nice mustache. == About ''{{PAGENAME}}'' == * One of the funny things that we discovered was that because they don't look like trees or animals that we understand or relate to directly, you have to create, based on Seuss' illustrations, something that's believable. Because the Truffula trees are beautiful -- they look like cotton candy. But, by the same token, you have to create something that the audience feels something for. So it can't just feel like Candy Land; you have to buy it as a real forest. So we looked at Birch trees and then figured out how to make those wonderful illustrations work in a 3-D movie. It's a real fantasy forest that you could relate to when it's being chopped down. * We had a design that was very city-like and very dense, which wasn't quite working. But we went back and looked at a little drawing in the upper corner of the page when the little boy is first coming to look at the Lorax. And we sort of used that as our basis: it's got these big, curvy roads and a couple of building shapes. In some ways, the easier choice would've been to create a Blade Runner-like dystopian future with smog. But of course we wanted to create something that was fun and entertaining, but in some way relates a little more about where we are today, with inflatable bushes and plastic flowers and fake nature that still has a sense of fun, much like Disneyland or Las Vegas or Dubai. So, in the movie that felt like a great way to go but also suggesting that you have to be careful to maintain balance with nature so it can be sustained. :* Chris Renaud [http://www.awn.com/animationworld/chris-renaud-talks-lorax/ "Chris Renaud Talks 'The Lorax'"], as interviewed by Bill Desowitz, ''Animation World Network'', Friday, March 2, 2012. == Cast == * [[w:Danny DeVito|Danny DeVito]] — The Lorax * [[w:Ed Helms|Ed Helms]] — The Once-ler * [[w:Zac Efron|Zac Efron]] — Ted * [[Taylor Swift]] — Audrey * [[w:Rob Riggle|Rob Riggle]] — Mr. O'Hare * [[w:Jenny Slate|Jenny Slate]] — Bernice * [[w:Betty White|Betty White]] — Grammy Norma == See Also == * [[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (film)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]] * [[The Cat in the Hat (film)|The Cat in the Hat]] * [[Horton Hears a Who!

Haven't you worked too hard for too long to take that big a risk on such a wild card? :'''DSU Teller''': I don't consider him a risk. :'''DCSU Cornish''': Then what is he? :'''DSU Teller''': An investment. :'''DCSU Cornish''': And if Henry Madsen wakes up, gives his account of what happened that night? Will Luther drag us all down? Let's hope not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''DSU Teller''': So where's the gun? It's got to be somewhere. Everything's somewhere. :'''DCI Luther''': I don't know. :'''DSU Teller''': Say that again. That was special. :'''DCI Luther''': ''[chuckles]'' I don't know where the gun is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alice Morgan''': Are you trying to beguile me? :'''DCI Luther''': ''[chuckles]'' No, I wouldn't be so foolish. But I will tell you this, Alice. You can revel in your brilliance for as long as you like, but people slip up. Happens time and time again. :'''Alice Morgan''': Well that's just faulty logic postulated on imperfect data collection. What if you only catch people who make mistakes? That would skew the figures, wouldn't it? :'''DCI Luther''': Yes, it would. But criminals aren't as smart as they think they are. :'''Alice Morgan''': Oh, that must get monotonous for someone as brilliant as you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alice Morgan''': You'd degrade the law you serve just to protect some woman who cast you aside like offal? :'''DCI Luther''': ''[puts his wedding ring back on]'' In a second. :'''Alice Morgan''': And you think I'm the monster. Love is supposed to dignify us, exalt us. How can it be love, John, if all it does is make you lonely and corrupt? ''[Luther turns and walks away]'' Answer the question! Don't turn your back on me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''DCI Luther''': I'm coming for you. :'''Alice Morgan''': Not if I come for you first. === ''Episode 2'' [1.02] === :''[Luther walks from the crime scene into a cluster of reporters to get to his car]'' :'''DCI Luther''': Morning, Corinne. :'''Corinne Day''': Any suspects, John? Off the record. ''[Luther keeps walking past her without comment]'' You got my number. :'''DCI Luther''': Yeah, memorized: 666. :'''Corinne Day''': Direct line. <hr width="50%"/> :'''DCI Luther''': ''[answering his mobile]'' Stop stalking me, Alice, you're yesterday's news. :'''Alice Morgan''': Yes, I heard about the dead policeman. I was worried about you, John. :'''DCI Luther''': About what, that someone else might get me? :'''Alice Morgan''': I know how hard men like you take the death of fellow officers. Must be like losing family. :'''DCI Luther''': I'm not discussing cases with you. :'''Alice Morgan''': Not even interesting ones? :'''DCI Luther''': This isn't interesting, all right? These are good cops, doing good jobs, being gunned on the streets like— :'''Alice Morgan''': Like what? That's something we all do, isn't it, in the end? Judge who's worth more than whom? [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] or [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Gandhi]]? The very young, the very old? :'''DCI Luther''': Though, to be fair, most of us don't do it to the extent that you do. :'''Alice Morgan''': But it does mean the difference between us is one of degree, not category. Ask Henry Madsen. :'''DCI Luther''': All right, you win, okay? You're too clever for me, Alice. :'''Alice Morgan''': Flattery to appease a malignant narcissist. That's a frivolous tactic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alice Morgan''': I've been wondering, why do you think he does it? :'''Zoe Luther''': Why does who do what? :'''Alice Morgan''': John, his job. It takes such a toll. Why does he put himself through it? :'''Zoe Luther''': I don't see how this is relevant. :'''Alice Morgan''': Well, it is. Right this second, you might actually be helping him. What do you think compels him to do it? :'''Zoe Luther''': He believes one life is all we have, life and love. Whoever takes life steals everything. :'''Alice Morgan''': And do you agree? :'''Zoe Luther''': I don't know. I think if he'd read a different book by a different writer at just the right time in his life he'd have been a different man. He'd have been happier as a priest than— :'''Alice Morgan''': Than what? :'''Zoe Luther''': Than what he is. === ''Episode 3'' [1.03] === :'''Alice Morgan''': I did this because I don't like you and because I wanted to toy with John. Ah, it's a bit like pulling legs off flies. :'''Mark North''': Why are you here now? :'''Alice Morgan''': Because I'm sorry. :'''Mark North''': No, you're not. :'''Alice Morgan''': No, no, I'm not. I was just trying to empathise. I'm here because this has gone just far enough, and what I need you to do now is pick up that phone and withdraw the complaint. :'''Mark North''': And if I refuse? What if somebody actually stood up to you and refused? :'''Alice Morgan''': Hmm, well, then, I'd have to leave… and then one night I'd have to come back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alice Morgan''': How do I know you're not playing a double game? One stone, multiple birds, trying to make me speak carelessly in order to entrap me. :'''DCI Luther''': That would be illegal. Plus I really need to catch this man. :'''Alice Morgan''': More than you want to catch me? :'''DCI Luther''': At the moment, yeah. I'm running out of time. :'''Alice Morgan''': Because if I thought you were about to lose interest in me, I'd be inconsolable. :'''DCI Luther''': I just need a way in, to know what it's like to be him, to not feel anything. :'''Alice Morgan''': I feel things. :'''DCI Luther''': Not mercy. :'''Alice Morgan''': Not sentiment. I can't empathise for this man's state of being any more than you can, because, disregarding a single, ah, alleged act, carried out for different, alleged, reasons, he and I might just as well be from different species. :'''DCI Luther''': ''[sigh]'' See, I disagree. Murder's murder. :'''Alice Morgan''': But it isn't, is it? Not even to you. This man Burgess, he's just a naughty child showing off. You already know his flaw — his compulsion to dominate, to be in control — and you already know how to exploit that. :'''DCI Luther''': How? :'''Alice Morgan''': Oh, come on. Change the state of play. :'''DCI Luther''': Yeah, well, I tried that with you and it failed. :'''Alice Morgan''': Only just. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lucien Burgess''': It's a kink, a sex thing. Many many women fantasize about being tied up, strangled, raped, eaten. :'''DCI Luther''': You think so? :'''Lucien Burgess''': Oh, yeah. The more depraved the killer, the more women fawn on him. It's called '[[w:Hybristophilia|hybristophilia]]'. :'''DCI Luther''': 'Sexual arousal from thoughts of violence.' :'''Lucien Burgess''': It's his willingness to murder that attracts her. His murder becomes hers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''DSU Teller''': Three guesses why Zoe's gentleman caller was here. :'''DCI Luther''': To confess he's a dick? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard Henley''': ''[about Lucien Burgess]'' I wanted to kill him. I knew it would cost me, but I didn't care. To this day, uh, the biggest regret of my life is not killing the— Any idea what it's like to feel like that? :'''DCI Luther''': Yes, I do. I know exactly what that feels like. === ''Episode 4'' [1.04] === :'''DCI Luther''': Graham knows we're onto him, all right? And he'll try and kill as many as he can before we catch him, and if I have to terrify his wife to stop that happening, I can live with that. :'''DSU Teller''': Oh, thus spake John Luther, gentleman of the parish. :'''DCI Luther''': She knows what her husband is. :'''DSU Teller''': Yeah, but maybe not what he's done. There is a difference. <hr width="50%"/> :'''DSU Teller''': Do you want to know the real tragedy about marriage? :'''DCI Luther''': No, thanks. :'''DSU Teller''': Women always think men will change, but they don't. Men think women won't change, but they do. :'''DCI Luther''': Where'd you get that from, a fortune cookie? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Luther is sitting in a chair surrounded by photos and maps in a circle on the floor]'' :'''DS Ripley''': What's all this? :'''DCI Luther''': Découpage, a cut-up technique. Take a bit of text, cut it up, randomise it, make new text, see new patterns. :'''DS Ripley''': Where'd you learn this? :'''DCI Luther''': David Bowie — it's how he wrote his lyrics. :'''DS Ripley''': Are you a fan? :'''DCI Luther''': Don't I look like a fan? :'''DS Ripley''': What, of songs about, like, aliens and that? :'''DCI Luther''': Well, there's a bit more to him than aliens. I'll make you a tape. :'''DS Ripley''': A-a what, sorry? <hr width="50%"/> :'''DCI Luther''': Do you have any sexual fantasies? :'''DS Ripley''': What? Yeah, not that I'm gonna tell you about. :'''DCI Luther''': Does the reality ever live up to the fantasy? :'''DS Ripley''': Well, I, um— well, no, no, not really. :'''DCI Luther''': Yeah, it can't, can it? === ''Episode 5 '' [1.05] === :'''Alice Morgan''': No games, listen. I did what I did to Henry Madsen because I wanted to help you. I put my liberty at risk because I couldn’t bear to see you hurt. So, what I did I did for wholly unselfish reasons. :'''DCI Luther''': I don’t… :'''Alice Morgan''': Yes, you do. "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." The universe isn’t evil, John, it’s just indifferent. That hasn’t changed. It can’t. But what I did for you, proved something to me. Something I hadn’t believed until that moment. :'''DCI Luther''': What? :'''Alice Morgan''': It’s you who’s right. There is love in the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''DSU Teller''': 'The evidence won't leave our sight for a second'? :'''DCI Luther''': We'll get it back. :'''DSU Teller''': We'd better, 'cause, right this second, I'm pedaling thin air like [[w:Wile E. Coyote|Wile E. Coyote]] <hr width="50%"/> :'''DSU Teller''': ''[about Evangeline Nixon]'' Anything? :'''DS Ripley''': Not a word, no prints on record, no nothing. :'''DCI Luther''': You know, she may not have been our problem up until now, but she's been someone's. You don't start off at kidnapping, you work your way up to it. Why don't you send her details to [[w:John Munch|Detective Munch]] in New York. He's Special Victims Unit there. === ''Episode 6'' [1.06] === :'''Alice Morgan''': In 1988, two psychologists published an article arguing that positive self-deception is a normal and advantageous part of most people’s lives. It turns out, people lie to themselves about three things: they view themselves in implausibly positive ways, they think they have far more control over their lives than they actually do, and they believe the future will be better than the evidence of the present can possibly justify. But, you’re way beyond that now. You’re on the other side of that particular mirror. Lying to yourself isn’t going to help anymore. == Series 2 == === ''Series 2, Episode 1'' [2.01] === === ''Series 2, Episode 2'' [2.02] === === ''Series 2, Episode 3'' [2.03] === === ''Series 2, Episode 4'' [2.04] === == Cast == * [[Idris Elba]] - Detective Chief Inspector John Luther * [[w:Ruth Wilson (actress)|Ruth Wilson]] - Alice Morgan * [[w:Indira Varma|Indira Varma]] - Zoe Luther * [[w:Warren Brown (actor)|Warren Brown]] - Detective Sergeant Justin Ripley * [[w:Steven Mackintosh|Steven Mackintosh]] - Detective Chief Inspector Ian Reed * [[w:Saskia Reeves|Saskia Reeves]] - Detective Superintendent Rose Teller * [[w:Paul McGann|Paul McGann]] - Mark North * [[w:Dermot Crowley|Dermot Crowley]] - Detective Chief Inspector/Detective Superintendent Martin Schenk * [[w:Nikki Amuka-Bird|Nikki Amuka-Bird]] - Detective Sergeant Erin Gray == External links == {{wikipedia}} *{{IMDb title|1474684|Luther}} [[Category:BBC shows]] [[Category:Crime TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:UK TV shows]] qzl9ciiqkr3z1ev77kfisfygha6p1eu Happy Endings (TV series) 0 137094 3147535 2888214 2022-07-26T17:24:37Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Happy Endings (TV series)|Happy Endings]]''''' (2011–2013) was an American comedy TV show, airing on on [[w:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], that followed the lives of six friends living in Chicago: married yuppies Brad and Jane; Alex, Jane's ditzy sister; Dave, a food truck owner who used to be engaged to Alex; Dave's gay roommate, Max; and their chronically single friend, Penny. {{tv-stub}} == Season 1 == === ''Pilot'' [1.01] === :'''Jane''': Um I'm gonna need vodka in a water glass with ice and I'm gonna be ordering water from you all night long so... one... water, please. :'''Waitress''': Did we start already or do you really want water? :'''Jane''': Just bring me vodka. <hr width='50%'> :'''Penny''': Thanks for coming everybody.

We're making a Soap Box Derby car. This is my new best bud, Gerald. Say hey, Gerald. :'''Gerald''': What's up? :'''Carl''': It looks, uh, a little like 2Wycked. :'''Frylock''': Yeah man, that's the inspiration. :''[Pause]'' :'''Carl''': Well, 2Wycked is copyrighted. :'''Frylock''': Well, I mean, can we... :'''Carl''': No, you can't. It's a one-of-a-kind original. I can't have you and, uh...ah, what's-his-nuts? :'''Frylock''': It's Gerald. :'''Carl''': Whatever his name is, cheapening it with a knock-off. :'''Frylock''': Carl, look, this is my little brother in the Big Brother Program, okay? I want to show him that not all men in this world are abusive. :'''Carl''': I'm just saying, that if you continue ripping off my idea, my unique graphics, someone's face is gonna get ripped off. And that ain't a threat, that's a Carl guarantee. :'''Frylock''': Carl, he's nine. :'''Carl''': When I was nine, I already had hair on my buttocks, back, and underarm like an animal in the zoo. Life sucks, my friend, 'cause guess what: ''[Carl flips over the soapbox car, destroying it]'' Boom! That just happened. <hr width=50%/> :'''Carl''': Oh, come on, Gerald!

We might throw in a cover, you never know. :'''Carl''': How 'bout [[w:One_(Metallica_song)|"One"]]? That song where the guy came back from the war and he's just an eyeball. <hr width=50%> :'''Meatwad''': I am super nervous :'''Frylock''': C'mon Meatwad, as long as I've known you this has been your dream, man! :'''Meatwad''': I can't be pursuing every dream. I mean, last night I had a dream where I was swimming with [[w:Joey_Fatone|Joey Fatone]] of [[w:NSYNC|NSYNC]] and then he turned into a corn dog and my teeth fell out. How am I supposed to achieve ''that''? <hr width=50%> :'''Frylock''': Look, I told you, this was just a quick trip to bring him back home; you barely need to be here. And you definitely don't need your guitar. :'''Master Shake''': I brought all of them. You know, in case I want to export some different sounds. Did you think about that? And while you're thinkin', why don't you snag my effects pedals and the acoustics and I'll meet you in the cab :'''Frylock''': I'll see you at the hotel :'''Master Shake''': Wait! I have no money! <hr width=50%> :''[At the end of the episode, Shake finds that he is sued for copyright infringement of his song, Bruschetta Nights (parody of "Big City Nights" by The Scorpions) and is to appear at court.

We need to take this jackass to court. Oh, you're not wearing that. :'''Shake''': Forks, yes! We'll see who has the last "sting" in court, Scorpions! ===Shirt Herpes=== :'''Carl''': This shirt, it's new :'''Master Shake''': Whoa! :'''Carl''': Pretty awesome, ain't it? :'''Master Shake''': Now that is cool :'''Carl''': It's the balls :'''Master Shake''': ''[Reads the shirt]'' "The Interplanetary Insanitarium." Is that, like, a band or a road show, or...? :'''Carl''': Maybe, I dunno. It is a cool shirt though :'''Master Shake''': But it's still just a shirt. What else? :'''Carl''': Nah, I mean, r-really look at this badass shirt. :''[A long pause]'' :'''Carl''': Wouldn't it be cool to be in that world, huh? :'''Master Shake''': Yeah, I don't wear shirts. Can't really find anything in my size. Big and round, wide collar, no shoulders... <hr width=50%> :'''Carl''': Smithed from iron ore. Crafted from liquid magma by one of the three demons. Satan's slaves. In the mine of a volcano. :'''Master Shake''': Volcanoes have minds?! :'''Carl''': Some do, yeah :'''Master Shake''': I had no idea volcanoes were self aware :'''Carl''': This one was. Look, uh, don't interrupt. I'm losin' momentum here. :'''Master Shake''': Okay :'''Carl''': Anyway, demon one, his name was...uh, [[w:Uno_(card_game)|Uno]]. And his brothers was named [[w:Yahtzee|Yahtzee]] and [[w:Boggle|Boggle]]. They was selected to guard this shirt with their lives, from me. :'''Master Shake''': You were alive...back then? :'''Carl''': I was. Yes, I was :'''Master Shake''': I thought you were, like, in your forties :'''Carl''': Forty thousand......million :'''Master Shake''': Damn son :'''Carl''': Look, let's go with this. No-no interruptions, please :'''Master Shake''': Right on, man :'''Carl''': You know at that time, th-there wasn't no such thing as a shirt, you know. We barely had enough mammoth fur to cover our junk, but we liked it that way. 'Cause it allowed me to showcase my lads n' my traps. And plus, the women, I mean, seriously. It's like they're all strippers. :'''Master Shake''': Strippers everywhere? :'''Carl''': Yeah. And plus, uh, dragons too :'''Master Shake''': Dragon strippers? Holy smokes! :'''Carl''': I know, right? I saw that shirt. I say, "I want that!" I rode up the volcano on my, uh...you know, mythical...it was, uh...you know wh- :'''Master Shake''': One-eyed Wonder Worm! :'''Carl''': That-yeah, that's what I was riding :'''Master Shake''': I've heard you talk about it before! :'''Carl''': So Yahtzee looks up and he comes at me with a bass solo. Oh man, shouldn't-a done that, 'cause I ripped the ax from his clawed fingers and I swiftly beheaded him. All this, and I still continued to bass solo! From, uh...is it, like a [[w:Geddy_Lee|Geddy Lee]] deep cut. [[w:Moving_Pictures_(Rush_album)|Moving Pictures]], maybe it was [[w:YYZ_(instrumental)|YYZ]], I don't know. I didn't miss a note, I know that. Boggle looks up at me from his drum kit and he goes, "You don't kill my brother". He says something cooler than that; that was the gist of it. Yeah, he regretted the day I come to the Interplanetary Insanitarium. So then Uno sees this, right? And he aims all his amps at me and he tries to bring the thunder. But I got earplugs in, and it ain't no match for me. I got my junk ready, full-on, in chub mode, and reflects the thunder back at him. And it explodes his face and it melts it off. So I wore this shirt and I ruled the Interplanetary Insanitarium for a thousand years like a god. My name: The Gorn Lord. :'''Master Shake''': So this is you on this shirt :'''Carl''': I lost a little up top since then. My point is a thousand years have passed. And I must pass this shirt down to a new warrior king. A new Gorn Lord who will rule the kingdom of Hair Metal Mountain, as a Mighty God...of Rock! <hr width=50%> :'''Boggle''': Who dares step foot on Metal Mountain? :'''Yahtzee''': IN THE INTERPLANETARY INSANITARIUUUUM! :'''Master Shake''': It is I, the Gorn Lord Shake :''[Pause]'' :'''Uno''': Wow. That's an ugly shirt :'''Master Shake''': The shirt chose me...to rule over you...as a god...as it had chose Carl before me :'''Boggle''': Carl bought that outside a gas station on the turnpike along with a set of [[w:Molly_Hatchet|Molly Hatchet]] mudflaps :'''Yahtzee''': MUDFLAAAAAAPS! :'''Master Shake''': But he doesn't drive a truck :'''Uno''': Yeah, he framed them and, uh, put them on his rec room wall :'''Yahtzee''': REC ROOOOOOOOM! :'''Master Shake''': Now, wait, are you saying that there's more than one of these shirts? :'''Uno''': No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying there's about 18 more of those shirts, hanging on the rack at the gas station. :'''Master Shake''': So...there are 18 more Gorn Lords I must defeat :'''Uno''': No, just shirts. Uh, I think they're giving them away free with a fill-up. ===Rocket Horse Jet Chicken=== :'''Meatwad''': What's Jet Chicken like in private moments? :'''Rocket Horse''': You really wanna know? :'''Meatwad''': Yeah, you know I do! I'm a huge fan, man! :'''Rocket Horse''': Well, uh...he's kinda paranoid, he has an unhealthy obsession with food, he gets angry at the drop of a hat and starts suing everyone in sight. But, you know, for the most part he's a...... fat, lazy, piece of shit. :'''Meatwad''': Dang. <hr width=50%/> :'''Rocket Horse''': Hey, there he is, Jet Chicken. Oh, so glad you're back, man! :'''Jet Chicken''': If you expect me to sign autographs all afternoon in the hot sun, then I expect toilet tissues and scented candles in my private toilet area! :'''Rocket Horse''': ''[laughs sarcastically]'' That's really funny, Jet Chicken. But, uh, hey, we got a fan here. :'''Jet Chicken''': Want my autograph? :'''Meatwad''': Yeah, absolutely! Can you make it out to, "My biggest fan, Meatwad"? :'''Jet Chicken''': ...Oh, I'd love to, but we're only paid to sign until 4:00, and ''it's already '''4:08 JERRY!''''' Fucking Jerry. :'''Rocket Horse''': Whoa whoa whoa... :'''Jet Chicken''': Where's that piece of shit?! :'''Rocket Horse''': ...*chuckles* calm down now. He said he had to go to the bank. :'''Jet Chicken''': Fucker's spending his days at the bank, you and I are out here signing autographs at a parking lot that's ''hotter than the surface '''OF THE FUCKING SUN!''''' <hr width=50%/> :'''Rocket Horse''': Hey, ya mind helping me pack up the inflatable, here. :'''Meatwad''': I'll help :'''Rocket Horse''': No, him. I want it to be him, all right? I gotta do this myself EVERY GODDAMN TIME! :'''Jet Chicken''': Rocket Horse, I will help as soon as I get out of the bathroom. :'''Rocket Horse''': You just ''went'' to the bathroom. :'''Jet Chicken''': I know, but I think all those soda refills really did a number on that gyro. Why do you think I picked up the chili dog on the way home? *grunt, splashing is then heard* Had to throw most of it out. Greek Special, my ass. :'''Rocket Horse''': Yeah, try "chili ''dogs''eseses". FIVE of them. Plus onion rings. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jet Chicken''': *still in the bathroom* Ooh! Fan! Fan! Come to me at once! :'''Meatwad''': Whatcha need Jet Chicken? You want me to gobble for justice? *makes gobbling noises* :'''Jet Chicken''': ...No, I-I don't know what that is. Listen, I need a wet vac in here. *brown toilet water spills out of the bathroom* This... this thing's overflowing. :'''Rocket Horse''': There's no wet vac out here. All right? Jerry didn't provide one. :'''Jet Chicken''': Fucking Jerry. Of course he didn't provide one! Fan! :'''Meatwad''': I'm here. :'''Jet Chicken''': I've got a job for you when I get out of here. :'''Meatwad''': Okey dokey, just tell me when. :'''Jet Chicken''': ...Actually, come on in here. I need help getting out of here. That's all I need to do is slip on one of these things and break my elbow again. <hr width=50%/> :''[Meatwad rings a doorbell. There is no answer]'' :'''Jet Chicken''': Ring it again. :'''Meatwad''': *rings it three times* ...I don't think no one's home. :'''Jet Chicken''': He's home. His Jeep's here. Ring it again. :'''Meatwad''': *rings again* ...Maybe he's asleep. :'''Jet Chicken''': How would you know?! Are you in there?! :'''Rocket Horse''': Ah c'mon, lay off Jet. He's doing you a favor. :'''Jet Chicken''': Look, if he sees me on his lawn waving a gun around, he's gonna pretend not to be home. :'''Meatwad''': ...M-maybe you oughtta hide better over there behind the bushes. :'''Jet Chicken''': Oh, good idea, Fan. And maybe I oughtta pull out Ultra Beak and show you how it works. One peck to the brain, it's over! :''[Jet Chicken fires his gun in the air, setting off the house's security alarm]'' :'''Rocket Horse''': Okay. Great. Now he knows we're out here. :'''Jet Chicken''': Rocket Horse, kick the door in! :'''Rocket Horse''': ''YOU'' kick the door in! :'''Jet Chicken''': *farts* Oh god. Did someone see a bathroom around here? *notices the nearby Jeep* Ah, sunroof. *climbs on top of it* Well, looky looky looky. *starts defecating in it* Ahhh... Mr. Fancy, with your big house in the suburbs! :'''Meatwad''': ...Is this, like, the headquarters of some supervillain or something? :'''Jet Chicken''': ''[still crapping; it seems to stop for a moment, but then...]'' Ooh. No, wait a minute. Nope, not quite done yet. ''[he craps even harder]'' :'''Rocket Horse''': It's the doctor who fouled up his gastric bypass. :'''Jet Chicken''': Go ahead, tell 'im how the damn thing leaks every time I eat. :'''Rocket Horse''': It's...it's not. This is what happens when you don't exercise and you order queso with everything. :'''Jet Chicken''': NUH UH! <hr width=50%/> :'''Jet Chicken''': Did you bring paper? :'''Meatwad''': Got the receipt from dinner, but I kinda need that 'cause you guys said you'd reimburse me... :'''Jet Chicken''': *wipes himself with it and throws it to the ground* Ooh, thanks buddy. :'''Meatwad''': Ah man. <hr width=50%/> :'''Doctor''': Listen, man, I'm sorry you feel like I botched your operation, but the judge and the jury both agreed that I was drunk, and you pulled a gun on me and made me perform surgery on you because you didn't want to pay full price. ===The Granite Family=== :''[Nuclear explosions are going off all over Earth]'' :'''Ignignokt''': Look Err, Earth is remaking "The Granite Family". :'''Err''': FUCKING '''''WHAT?!''''' :'''Ignignokt''': It's a timeless classic, Err.

And so I'm like, "cool, get back soon 'cause your ice cream's gonna melt." :'''Frylock''': Go ahead. :'''Paul''': And like two hours pass, so I'm like, "what gives?" And I go to the parking lot... :'''Frylock''': Okay. :'''Paul''': ...and they're in ''my'' car, and they act all weird when I show up. :'''Frylock''': Uh-huh. :'''Paul''': And she puts her shirt on real quick, and she's in his lap, and I'm like, "what's goin' on?!" :'''Frylock''': Yeah. :'''Paul''': And they're all like, "he's just a friend, and why can't I be friends with your father?"<br />And I'm like, "well, what's his dick doing in your hands?!" :'''Meatwad''': She's just trying to get your attention. She cares about you, man. :'''Paul''': I know. I know she does. But they left me there, and they knew I didn't have the money for the ice cream. That's weird, right? :'''Frylock''': I'm sure her hand slipped, Paul. :'''Paul''': Hmm, that's what they said. I jus-I always feel like people are lying to me and-and using me... :'''Frylock''': ''[to Shake]'' Hit the booby cannons. :''[Shake pulls a lever]'' :'''Paul''': What's that? :'''Frylock''': Oh, nothing. :'''Paul''': Good, 'cause I-I thought you said, "hit the booby cannons." That would've made me awful mad. :'''Frylock''': No, no, I didn't say nothing. So what else happened on your little ice cream trip? :'''Shake''': Wait, wait, hang on, I've got booby cannons charging. :'''Paul''': Why are you charging up booby cannons? :'''Shake''': You really wanna know? :'''Paul''': Why did he say that? :'''Frylock''': Shake, the man is dealing with a lot of pain right now, okay? So let's not talk about what we're doing. :'''Shake''': He's gonna be dealing with a lot more pain in about...45 minutes to charge?! Oh, my God! :'''Frylock''': ''[as police arrive]'' Paul, tell me more about your girlfriend. :'''Paul''': She's really hot. She dresses like a slut all the time, especially when my dad's around. And I'm like, "you can wear that to work?"<br />And she's like, "yeah," and I'm like, "okay, well..." :'''Frylock''': Heh yeah, jealousy can make you crazy, you know? Where we at, Shake? :'''Shake''': You don't even wanna know. 3%. :'''Paul''': And then I go to my dad's, and her car's parked there, and it turns out she's not at work at all! :'''Frylock''': Maybe she quit her job so she and your dad could plan a surprise party for you. :'''Paul''': Weird. That is exactly what she said. :'''Frylock''': Where we at, Shake? :'''Shake''': 4%. Wait. No, went back down. ===Buddy Nugget=== :'''Carl''': This ain't gonna give me, like, crotch cancer or nothing, is it? :'''Frylock''': No way, dude. Not for at least 30 years. And by then, you'll be dead from cell phone radiation. :'''Carl''': Yeah, well, you better be right. :''[The Buddy Nugget activates and shocks Carl]'' :'''Carl''': AAH! So then, this happens and then, uh, broads just come up here on their knees to give me oral? :'''Frylock''': Well, it's not really for that, you know. :'''Carl:''': Well then what good is it? :''[A car pulls up]'' :'''Frylock:''': Oh, Carl, here comes your first buddy now. :'''Dominic''': Watch out, guy. :'''Carl:''': Whoa, whoa, whoa chief!

What's it to you, butt-nut?! :'''Carl''': You're the butt-nut! :'''Dominic''': C'mon, you want a piece of this?! :'''Carl''': Oh, you want a piece of this?! :'''Frylock''': Whoa, whoa, whoa easy, guys. :''[Carl and Dominic start shoving and arguing]'' :'''Frylock''': Hey, hey, hey, no shoving here.

Unhand three more dollars! :'''Crimson Tightwad''': C'mon, three? :'''Zucotti Manicotti''': She gave you free refills and validated your parking! :'''Crimson Tightwad''': You're right, Zucotti Manicotti. I was wrong to be a cheapskate. :'''Zucotti Manicotti''': You've learned a valuable lesson today, Crimson Tightwad. Let's not be cross with each other. It's time to dance! <hr width=50%> :'''Meatwad''': I'm sorry Zucotti. I know it ain't part of your manners to shoot somebody in the face. I did what I had to do, you know. And I'm sure you'd respect that if I didn't blow your brains out on the carpet :'''Master Shake''': Meatwad, sometimes heroes have to die. Just like Spartacus and Krull and The Beastmaster. Even E.T. :'''Meatwad''': E.T. phoned home. He-he didn't die :'''Master Shake''': After the credits, he died immediately :'''Meatwad''': No! Not E.T.! :'''Master Shake''': Oh yeah. When his people picked E.T. up on Earth he smelled so much like them little kids that they turned on him and then they ate him while he was still alive :'''Meatwad''': Noooo! <hr width=50%> :''[At the end of the episode, Meatwad is traumatized from his experience with Shake and Zucotti Manicotti]'' :'''Frylock''': He won't move. He won't talk. He just keeps...staring at the wall. :'''Master Shake''': ''And'' he doesn't hog the TV anymore. I crushed this deal, holla! :'''Frylock''': Shake, look, you saw the noose made out of shoelaces in his room, didn't you? :'''Master Shake''': I thought that was, like, one of them, uh, you know, Indian dreamcatcher things...that he decided to hang himself with. :'''Frylock''': Yeah well, 'cause of you I gotta push Prozac in his cat food for the next god-knows-how-long, and good luck getting him to eat it! :'''Master Shake''': He gets wet food?!

C'mon. :'''Frylock''': Nope :'''Carl''': I'm gonna eat 95 tickets if you don't buy these! :'''Frylock''': 95 tickets? :'''Carl''': There was a 96 ticket limit online. Figured I could flip 'em at the show. I may have overestimated demand for Totem Pole. :'''Meatwad''': Y'can sell 'em Carl. You're a good salesman. I'm hooked and I don't even know what it is :'''Carl''': Fine. Free. Merry Fucking Christmas! 'Cause you got a free Totem Pole show out of this! :'''Meatwad''': You know that ad that says, "The best things in life are free"? I believe it, and that's why I wanna go. :'''Master Shake''': Yeah, me too. I'm the demographic for free, because I'm unemployable <hr width=50%> :'''Frylock''': Lotta songs about forming human totem poles and shoving heads up asses :'''Carl''': Yeah, they're way into that. Check it out: "Poles on Patrol", "Poles & Souls", "Poleorite", "Glory Pole", that's the seminal album; that's the desert island disc. "Poleing Place", they got very political in that one. "For Whom the Bell Poles", classic. "Polegasm", classic. "How Many Poles to Screw in the Bulb", another classic. "Polenight", "Not Polite to say No to Pole Night", that's their first English-speaking album. "Ringthrust", that's a double album, and it also marks the first time they didn't use the word "Pole" in their album title. <hr width=50%> :'''Master Shake''': How are we gonna get home, Carl? :'''Carl''': I can drive, I've only had about 8 beers. :'''Master Shake''': Yeah. But can you see? :'''Carl''': Not where I wanna see. We've better call a cab. Grab the cell phone out of my ass and pass it up to the troll. Ow-oh! Oh! Okay! :'''Master Shake''': I'm holding it out with my left hand. Reach! With your left! Okay, they're you go! You got it! :'''Carl''': Hey, Lenny, The cab's on speed dial. Ask for a van with a luggage rack and tell him to bring bungee cords, I think we may have to ride up top. [phone dials, unintelligible scream, Lenny screams and destroys Carl's phone.] So, Lenny. What's it like working with the band? Is Helment as cool as he seemed like on the album covers? [Lenny screams] Whoo! Not a lot of oxygen inside this troll, you know what I mean?

His stomach must be made of scrap iron. :'''Shaggy''': Can I help it if my first toy was a garbage disposal? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': We're going back to find out what it was. :'''Shaggy''': Swell. I'll wait here and when you find out, send me a telegram. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': How did Scooby do that? :'''Fred''': I guess that's another mystery. === ''Hassle in the Castle'' [1.3] === :'''Daphne''': ''[after falling through a trapdoor]'' Let me out of here! Let me out of here! (the trapdoor chute opens up releasing her) :'''Daphne''': ''[rubbing her side]'' Wow! I wonder how I get out of this creepy inter-sanctum. Well my intuition tells me...that way. (the phantom's hand then tries to grab her but misses) <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': There's a very logical explanation for all this. :'''Shaggy''': Quick, tell me. :'''Velma''': The place is haunted. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': You sure picked a spooky day to go boating, Freddy. :'''Fred''': Well it didn't start out that way. What could've happened? :'''Velma''': It's very simple. When the barometric pressure dropped and the warm offshore air came in contact with an inland cold front we ran into some unnavigable nucleation. :'''Fred''': You're right, Velma. Whatever you said. :'''Velma''': I said we're lost in the fog. :'''Shaggy''': You buzzed? <hr width="50%"/> (After Scooby screeches to stop in the sand sending sand at the gang) :'''Fred''': Hey! If you wanna play in the sand Scooby, leave us out of it, huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': I'm so scared I wish I had a ham sandwich. (a ham sandwich floats down out of nowhere) :'''Shaggy''': Hmm, now I wish I had some mustard to go with it. (some mustard floats down) :'''Shaggy''': This'd better be my imagination, otherwise I'd be scared stiff! (puts ham sandwich on table next to knight with ax) :'''Shaggy''': Now if my imagination could like... cut it in half? (The knight's ax swings down and cuts Shaggy's sandwich in half) :'''Shaggy''': AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (runs away) (comes back and grabs sandwich) <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Yeah, but, how do we know the phantom will ever chase Scooby-Doo? He's a dog. :'''Fred''': Don't worry. We'll soon fix that. === ''Mine Your Own Business'' [1.4] === :'''Fred''': OK, Shaggy. You work on the combination as I read off the numbers. :'''Shaggy''': OK, but I need a moment to warm up. Now, I must have absolute quiet while I work. ''[Shaggy starts fiddling with the lock on the safe]'' :'''Fred''': Oh, Shaggy. Shaggy! I have the combination, just turn the knob to the right. :'''Shaggy''': Well why didn't you say so?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': I've seen enough! Let's go back! :'''Fred''': Not until we walk around the ghost town and see what we can find. :'''Shaggy''': Like I know what we'll find. :'''Daphne''': What? :'''Shaggy''': Ghosts! === ''Decoy for a Dognapper'' [1.5] === :'''Fred''': Velma! What are you doing here? === ''What the Hex is Going On?'' [1.6] === :'''Velma''': Hey look! Suitcases! :'''Daphne''': Looks like someone just moved in. :'''Shaggy''': Then let's move out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': It sure would help help if we could find another clue. :'''Shaggy''': Uh huh. I found one. :'''Fred''': Groovy! What is it? :'''Shaggy''': Him. ''[points to ghost]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': How about that? All that advice and she didn't even pay us a dime. :'''Velma''': I hope that's the end of the customers for a while. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! It's the goony ghost! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sharon''': Uncle Stuart! Why did you do that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Hey! What's this? ''[reading the sign]'' "Scooby-Doo was here." The whole turkey? Gone? === ''Never Ape an Ape Man'' [1.7] === :'''Shaggy''': Yeah. Like, you got him. King Kong in a flash. === ''Foul Play in Funland'' [1.8] === :'''Fred''': Well, we saw a very strange character running around out there. :'''Shaggy''': He was like WEIRDO! :'''Scooby''': Reah! Reirdo like! :'''Sarah''': Fiddlesticks. Besides us there is no one else on this island. :'''Mr. Jenkins''': Sarah's right. Maybe the moonlight was playing tricks on you. :'''Shaggy''': Man I tell ya- :'''Fred''': Let it go Shaggy. Sorry to have bothered you, Sir. Let's go gang. :''[cut to them outside the house, disappointed they didn't believe their story]'' :'''Fred''': How do you like that for small talk? :'''Velma''': We can't go home now. We know we didn't imagine all those kooky things that happened. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': I sometimes think that you would rather eat a pizza pie than solve a mystery. :'''Shaggy''': OK, then. Vote for pizza pie. ''[raises hand]'' :'''Scooby''': ''[raises a paw]'' Pizza pie. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Jenkins''': Sarah! What are you doing here? :'''Sarah''': It was me that caused Charlie to go out of control. I don't think robots should come and work here while children run about to have fun. :'''Daphne''': She's right. Charlie is nice, but kids need humans. :'''Scooby''': Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! :'''Mr. Jenkins''': I never thought about that. I just needed a perfect robot, but don't worry. I'll rebuild him and call him, "Charlie II". === ''The Backstage Rage'' [1.9] === :'''Fred''': Do you think that twenty was planned to throw us off? :'''Daphne''': Why? :'''Fred''': To make us think nothing fishy was going on in the theater. :'''Daphne''': And we would never think of going back. :'''Velma''': I get it. But now what do we do? :'''Fred''': We go back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': He's gone! :'''Daphne''': It must have been our imagination. :'''Shaggy''': Well that was the first time I ever heard mine. === ''Bedlam in the Big Top'' [1.10] === :'''Ghost Clown''': ''[hypnotizing Scooby]'' Watch the pretty coin of gold, and you will do as you are told. You are brave, and that's a fact. You will do the high wire act. === ''A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts'' [1.11] === === ''Scooby-Doo and a Mummy Too!'' [1.12] === :'''Daphne''': ''[referring to the Mummy of Anka]'' Wow, he could still scare me, Professor. :'''The Professor''': Don't worry about him, Daphne. Anka is over three thousand years old. :'''Shaggy''': That's funny. He doesn't look a day over two thousand to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': I'm Tiredsville, and my feet are killing me. Oh, 1, 2, 3, 4 of them. ''[realizing he is sitting on the lap of the Mummy of Anka]'' Zoinks! The mummy!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Like, what happened? :'''Velma''': You let the mummy in! :'''Fred''': And Scooby's with him! === ''Which Witch is Which?'' [1.13] === :'''Daphne''': You shouldn't believe everything you read. :'''Witch''': No, my pretty? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Hey, there's a pair of shoes in here.

Ta-ta! === ''Go Away Ghost Ship'' [1.14] === :'''Shaggy''': The sea water's boiling, Scoob, I wonder what pirates like in their food? :'''Scooby''': Rains? :'''Shaggy''': Hey yeah, ghosts like it when it rains, and what else? Oh yeah, some ashes from the stove, you know this could be real good? What else do pirates like? :'''Scooby''': Robrebs? :'''Shaggy''': Yeah! :'''Scooby''': Roap. :'''Shaggy''': Soap? I hardly use it myself, but why not? === ''Spooky Space Kook'' [1.15] === :'''Shaggy''': "Scoob, hide the key" (Scooby Throws it out the window) (Space kook laughs maniacally) :'''Shaggy''': Scooby where'd you put the key? :'''Scooby''': rought ra rindow. :'''Shaggy''': You threw it out the window? :'''Shaggy''': We need that key! (They jump out the window and grab it) (Come back in and unlock the door) <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': In a case like this, Shag and Scoob did exactly the right thing.

After that big first wave of the disease, [the] land was cheaper and human labor better rewarded. Eventually, more food got around. Incidentally, '''the plague provoked nostalgia for the classical antiquity of [[Greece]] and [[Rome]], especially among the scholars of [[Florence]], launching the extravaganzas of the [[Renaissance]], the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]], and eventually our own pageant of techno-supremacist [[Modernity]].''' ** "Dance Macabre," May 18, 2020. * […] Life is tragic and history won’t shed a tear for us if we make poor collective decisions, or adopt beliefs that are inconsistent with reality. ** "The Old American Dream Is a Nightmare," March 9, 2011. === ''[[w:World Made by Hand|World Made by Hand]]'' (2008) === Kunstler, James Howard.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, in the new times, there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard. Not much that we did required punctuality, but people still wanted to know what time it was. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * The racket was coming over what used to be our public radio station, WAMC out of [[Wikipedia:Albany, New York|Albany]], but the familiar [...] voices [...] were long gone. Some febrile evangelist was railing from the [[Book of Revelation]]. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * I switched on the television on the outside chance that something might come through. Nothing had been on for years. The local network affiliates withered away after the national network of cable channels went out until there was nothing. ** Chapter 4, p. 20–21 * I searched the FM band but there was nothing besides other pious pleaders, and they didn't come in too well. The AM band offered about the same thing, only with worse reception, nothing remotely describable as news, and no music because commercial entertainment as we knew it was no more, and its handmaiden, advertising had gone with it. ** Chapter 4, p. 21 * I had one of those steel thermal mugs you carried everywhere with you as a kind of signifier of how busy, and therefore how important you were. ** Chapter 4, p. 22 * It was obvious there would be no return to [what we used to call] "normality." The [resource-intensive] economy wouldn't be coming back. [[Wikipedia:Globalism|Globalism]] was over. The politicians and generals were failing to pull things together at the center. We would not be returning to Boston. The computer industry, in which so many hopes had been vested, was fading into history. ** Chapter 4, p. 24 * In a world that had become a salvage operation, the general supply evolved into Union Grove's leading industry. When every last useful thing in town had been stripped from the [[Wikipedia:Kmart|Kmart]] and the United Auto, the [[Wikipedia:CVS Pharmacy|CVS drugstore]], and other trading establishments of the bygone national chain-store economy, daily life became a perpetual flea market centered on the old town dump. ** Chapter 5, p. 28 * We regarded [[Wikipedia:Opium|opium]] as a godsend. It did not develop into an illicit trade, though. There was no legal prohibition, no police running around trying to suppress drugs, driving up the price artificially, and no marketing system. There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had actually happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm practically a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. It's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. ** Chapter 29, p. 142 * Whatever the other failures of the U.S. government were, it had managed to print an excess of dollars which, combined with the collapse of trade and communication, had severely eroded the currency's value. ** Chapter 30, p. 146 * I lay awake [...] listening to the rain drip from the eaves and thinking of the big map that hung from the top of the chalkboard in my primary school in Wilton, Connecticut, so many years ago, back in the days of cars, television, and air-conditioning. The states on this map were muted tones of pink, green, and yellow. Over it hung the flag that we pledged allegiance to every single morning. "One nation under God, indivisible..." ** Chapter 31, p. 150 * I'd been carrying [my Ruger .41 Magnum] so many days that I had almost forgotten it was there. This was the kind of world we now lived in. ** Chapter 36, p. 171 * I argued that the human race should have known it was in trouble, [...] given how insane our way of life had become. Minor quit blowing into his harmonica long enough to say that [[Wikipedia:John D. Rockefeller|John D. Rockefeller]] and the [[Wikipedia:Bush family|Bush family]] had made a deal with the Devil going back all the way to the 1900s. ** Chapter 38, p. 181 * Could we even pretend the law still existed? Or was it something you made up now, as the occasion required? ** Chapter 38, p. 181 * The essence of politics was to not act on your impulses. ** Chapter 42, p. 199 * There's real strangeness in this world of ours. Back in the machine times, there was so much noise front and back, so to speak, it kept us from knowing what lies behind the surface of things. ** Chapter 55, p. 262 * It was more possible that the human race possessed some spark of divinity that was worth cultivating than that a mysterious ''being'' was up there in the ether somewhere with anthropomorphic qualities of goodness and mercy running the whole show. ** Chapter 65, p. 315–316 * We were content to be undisturbed in our little backwater, Union Grove, [[Wikipedia:Washington County, New York|Washington County]], in a place once called the [[Wikipedia:New York State|Empire State]], where the [[Wikipedia:Battenkill|Battenkill]] runs into the [[Wikipedia:Hudson River|Hudson River]]. ** Chapter 65, p. 317 === ''[[w:The Long Emergency|The Long Emergency]]'' (2005) === Kunstler, James Howard. ''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, driven on a six-lane freeway. If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves? Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on. The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by twenty degrees Fahrenheit in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights. As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape —a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia. The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities). ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them? ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known. I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] ccgygj8as69122qho1zfmst4mq406jj 3147382 3147380 2022-07-26T12:19:31Z 2001:1388:660:D4AC:9520:5D2B:ACC1:FD5F /* The Long Emergency (2005) */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Jim w mustache.jpg|thumb|right]] '''[[W:James Howard Kunstler|James Howard Kunstler]]''' (born [[October 19]], [[1948]], New York City, New York) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. == Quotes == * As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down Europe’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, in the new times, there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard. Not much that we did required punctuality, but people still wanted to know what time it was. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * The racket was coming over what used to be our public radio station, WAMC out of [[Wikipedia:Albany, New York|Albany]], but the familiar [...] voices [...] were long gone. Some febrile evangelist was railing from the [[Book of Revelation]]. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * I switched on the television on the outside chance that something might come through. Nothing had been on for years. The local network affiliates withered away after the national network of cable channels went out until there was nothing. ** Chapter 4, p. 20–21 * I searched the FM band but there was nothing besides other pious pleaders, and they didn't come in too well. The AM band offered about the same thing, only with worse reception, nothing remotely describable as news, and no music because commercial entertainment as we knew it was no more, and its handmaiden, advertising had gone with it. ** Chapter 4, p. 21 * I had one of those steel thermal mugs you carried everywhere with you as a kind of signifier of how busy, and therefore how important you were. ** Chapter 4, p. 22 * It was obvious there would be no return to [what we used to call] "normality." The [resource-intensive] economy wouldn't be coming back. [[Wikipedia:Globalism|Globalism]] was over. The politicians and generals were failing to pull things together at the center. We would not be returning to Boston. The computer industry, in which so many hopes had been vested, was fading into history. ** Chapter 4, p. 24 * In a world that had become a salvage operation, the general supply evolved into Union Grove's leading industry. When every last useful thing in town had been stripped from the [[Wikipedia:Kmart|Kmart]] and the United Auto, the [[Wikipedia:CVS Pharmacy|CVS drugstore]], and other trading establishments of the bygone national chain-store economy, daily life became a perpetual flea market centered on the old town dump. ** Chapter 5, p. 28 * We regarded [[Wikipedia:Opium|opium]] as a godsend. It did not develop into an illicit trade, though. There was no legal prohibition, no police running around trying to suppress drugs, driving up the price artificially, and no marketing system. There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had actually happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm practically a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. It's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. ** Chapter 29, p. 142 * Whatever the other failures of the U.S. government were, it had managed to print an excess of dollars which, combined with the collapse of trade and communication, had severely eroded the currency's value. ** Chapter 30, p. 146 * I lay awake [...] listening to the rain drip from the eaves and thinking of the big map that hung from the top of the chalkboard in my primary school in Wilton, Connecticut, so many years ago, back in the days of cars, television, and air-conditioning. The states on this map were muted tones of pink, green, and yellow. Over it hung the flag that we pledged allegiance to every single morning. "One nation under God, indivisible..." ** Chapter 31, p. 150 * I'd been carrying [my Ruger .41 Magnum] so many days that I had almost forgotten it was there. This was the kind of world we now lived in. ** Chapter 36, p. 171 * I argued that the human race should have known it was in trouble, [...] given how insane our way of life had become.

Back in the machine times, there was so much noise front and back, so to speak, it kept us from knowing what lies behind the surface of things. ** Chapter 55, p. 262 * It was more possible that the human race possessed some spark of divinity that was worth cultivating than that a mysterious ''being'' was up there in the ether somewhere with anthropomorphic qualities of goodness and mercy running the whole show. ** Chapter 65, p. 315–316 * We were content to be undisturbed in our little backwater, Union Grove, [[Wikipedia:Washington County, New York|Washington County]], in a place once called the [[Wikipedia:New York State|Empire State]], where the [[Wikipedia:Battenkill|Battenkill]] runs into the [[Wikipedia:Hudson River|Hudson River]]. ** Chapter 65, p. 317 === ''[[w:The Long Emergency|The Long Emergency]]'' (2005) === Kunstler, James Howard. ''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, '''once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible''' […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, [to be] driven on a six-lane freeway. '''If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves?''' Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on. The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by twenty degrees Fahrenheit in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights. As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape —a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia. The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities). ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them? ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known. I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] 2s5006h9k5lfg17o0odz6xvy9susnn3 3147384 3147382 2022-07-26T12:25:30Z 2001:1388:660:D4AC:9520:5D2B:ACC1:FD5F /* The Long Emergency (2005) */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Jim w mustache.jpg|thumb|right]] '''[[W:James Howard Kunstler|James Howard Kunstler]]''' (born [[October 19]], [[1948]], New York City, New York) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. == Quotes == * As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down Europe’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, in the new times, there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard. Not much that we did required punctuality, but people still wanted to know what time it was. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * The racket was coming over what used to be our public radio station, WAMC out of [[Wikipedia:Albany, New York|Albany]], but the familiar [...] voices [...] were long gone. Some febrile evangelist was railing from the [[Book of Revelation]]. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * I switched on the television on the outside chance that something might come through. Nothing had been on for years. The local network affiliates withered away after the national network of cable channels went out until there was nothing. ** Chapter 4, p. 20–21 * I searched the FM band but there was nothing besides other pious pleaders, and they didn't come in too well. The AM band offered about the same thing, only with worse reception, nothing remotely describable as news, and no music because commercial entertainment as we knew it was no more, and its handmaiden, advertising had gone with it. ** Chapter 4, p. 21 * I had one of those steel thermal mugs you carried everywhere with you as a kind of signifier of how busy, and therefore how important you were. ** Chapter 4, p. 22 * It was obvious there would be no return to [what we used to call] "normality." The [resource-intensive] economy wouldn't be coming back. [[Wikipedia:Globalism|Globalism]] was over. The politicians and generals were failing to pull things together at the center. We would not be returning to Boston. The computer industry, in which so many hopes had been vested, was fading into history. ** Chapter 4, p. 24 * In a world that had become a salvage operation, the general supply evolved into Union Grove's leading industry. When every last useful thing in town had been stripped from the [[Wikipedia:Kmart|Kmart]] and the United Auto, the [[Wikipedia:CVS Pharmacy|CVS drugstore]], and other trading establishments of the bygone national chain-store economy, daily life became a perpetual flea market centered on the old town dump. ** Chapter 5, p. 28 * We regarded [[Wikipedia:Opium|opium]] as a godsend. It did not develop into an illicit trade, though. There was no legal prohibition, no police running around trying to suppress drugs, driving up the price artificially, and no marketing system. There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had actually happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm practically a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river.

''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, '''once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible''' […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, [to be] driven on a six-lane freeway. '''If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves?''' Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. '''The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on.''' The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by twenty degrees Fahrenheit in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights. As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape —a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia. The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities). ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them? ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known. I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] 60eqas10wenm8ittsqf455q3x7w7wlu 3147385 3147384 2022-07-26T12:42:22Z 2001:1388:660:D4AC:9520:5D2B:ACC1:FD5F /* The Long Emergency (2005) */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Jim w mustache.jpg|thumb|right]] '''[[W:James Howard Kunstler|James Howard Kunstler]]''' (born [[October 19]], [[1948]], New York City, New York) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. == Quotes == * As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down Europe’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, in the new times, there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard.

There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had actually happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm practically a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. It's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. ** Chapter 29, p. 142 * Whatever the other failures of the U.S. government were, it had managed to print an excess of dollars which, combined with the collapse of trade and communication, had severely eroded the currency's value. ** Chapter 30, p. 146 * I lay awake [...] listening to the rain drip from the eaves and thinking of the big map that hung from the top of the chalkboard in my primary school in Wilton, Connecticut, so many years ago, back in the days of cars, television, and air-conditioning. The states on this map were muted tones of pink, green, and yellow. Over it hung the flag that we pledged allegiance to every single morning. "One nation under God, indivisible..." ** Chapter 31, p. 150 * I'd been carrying [my Ruger .41 Magnum] so many days that I had almost forgotten it was there. This was the kind of world we now lived in. ** Chapter 36, p. 171 * I argued that the human race should have known it was in trouble, [...] given how insane our way of life had become. Minor quit blowing into his harmonica long enough to say that [[Wikipedia:John D. Rockefeller|John D. Rockefeller]] and the [[Wikipedia:Bush family|Bush family]] had made a deal with the Devil going back all the way to the 1900s. ** Chapter 38, p. 181 * Could we even pretend the law still existed? Or was it something you made up now, as the occasion required? ** Chapter 38, p. 181 * The essence of politics was to not act on your impulses. ** Chapter 42, p. 199 * There's real strangeness in this world of ours. Back in the machine times, there was so much noise front and back, so to speak, it kept us from knowing what lies behind the surface of things. ** Chapter 55, p. 262 * It was more possible that the human race possessed some spark of divinity that was worth cultivating than that a mysterious ''being'' was up there in the ether somewhere with anthropomorphic qualities of goodness and mercy running the whole show. ** Chapter 65, p. 315–316 * We were content to be undisturbed in our little backwater, Union Grove, [[Wikipedia:Washington County, New York|Washington County]], in a place once called the [[Wikipedia:New York State|Empire State]], where the [[Wikipedia:Battenkill|Battenkill]] runs into the [[Wikipedia:Hudson River|Hudson River]]. ** Chapter 65, p. 317 === ''[[w:The Long Emergency|The Long Emergency]]'' (2005) === Kunstler, James Howard. ''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, '''once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible''' […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, [to be] driven on a six-lane freeway. '''If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves?''' Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. '''The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on.''' The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by {{convert|20|F|C}} in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights. As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * '''What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape—a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia.''' The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. '''Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities).''' ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? '''Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them?''' ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * '''I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known.''' I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] 4yywusyrscicjfbsnmfbwmsga1bmohl 3147386 3147385 2022-07-26T12:48:58Z 2001:1388:660:D4AC:9520:5D2B:ACC1:FD5F /* The Long Emergency (2005) */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Jim w mustache.jpg|thumb|right]] '''[[W:James Howard Kunstler|James Howard Kunstler]]''' (born [[October 19]], [[1948]], New York City, New York) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. == Quotes == * As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down Europe’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, in the new times, there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard. Not much that we did required punctuality, but people still wanted to know what time it was. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * The racket was coming over what used to be our public radio station, WAMC out of [[Wikipedia:Albany, New York|Albany]], but the familiar [...] voices [...] were long gone. Some febrile evangelist was railing from the [[Book of Revelation]]. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * I switched on the television on the outside chance that something might come through. Nothing had been on for years. The local network affiliates withered away after the national network of cable channels went out until there was nothing. ** Chapter 4, p. 20–21 * I searched the FM band but there was nothing besides other pious pleaders, and they didn't come in too well. The AM band offered about the same thing, only with worse reception, nothing remotely describable as news, and no music because commercial entertainment as we knew it was no more, and its handmaiden, advertising had gone with it. ** Chapter 4, p. 21 * I had one of those steel thermal mugs you carried everywhere with you as a kind of signifier of how busy, and therefore how important you were. ** Chapter 4, p. 22 * It was obvious there would be no return to [what we used to call] "normality." The [resource-intensive] economy wouldn't be coming back. [[Wikipedia:Globalism|Globalism]] was over. The politicians and generals were failing to pull things together at the center. We would not be returning to Boston. The computer industry, in which so many hopes had been vested, was fading into history. ** Chapter 4, p. 24 * In a world that had become a salvage operation, the general supply evolved into Union Grove's leading industry. When every last useful thing in town had been stripped from the [[Wikipedia:Kmart|Kmart]] and the United Auto, the [[Wikipedia:CVS Pharmacy|CVS drugstore]], and other trading establishments of the bygone national chain-store economy, daily life became a perpetual flea market centered on the old town dump. ** Chapter 5, p. 28 * We regarded [[Wikipedia:Opium|opium]] as a godsend. It did not develop into an illicit trade, though. There was no legal prohibition, no police running around trying to suppress drugs, driving up the price artificially, and no marketing system. There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had actually happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm practically a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. It's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. ** Chapter 29, p. 142 * Whatever the other failures of the U.S. government were, it had managed to print an excess of dollars which, combined with the collapse of trade and communication, had severely eroded the currency's value. ** Chapter 30, p. 146 * I lay awake [...] listening to the rain drip from the eaves and thinking of the big map that hung from the top of the chalkboard in my primary school in Wilton, Connecticut, so many years ago, back in the days of cars, television, and air-conditioning. The states on this map were muted tones of pink, green, and yellow. Over it hung the flag that we pledged allegiance to every single morning. "One nation under God, indivisible..." ** Chapter 31, p. 150 * I'd been carrying [my Ruger .41 Magnum] so many days that I had almost forgotten it was there. This was the kind of world we now lived in. ** Chapter 36, p. 171 * I argued that the human race should have known it was in trouble, [...] given how insane our way of life had become.

Back in the machine times, there was so much noise front and back, so to speak, it kept us from knowing what lies behind the surface of things. ** Chapter 55, p. 262 * It was more possible that the human race possessed some spark of divinity that was worth cultivating than that a mysterious ''being'' was up there in the ether somewhere with anthropomorphic qualities of goodness and mercy running the whole show. ** Chapter 65, p. 315–316 * We were content to be undisturbed in our little backwater, Union Grove, [[Wikipedia:Washington County, New York|Washington County]], in a place once called the [[Wikipedia:New York State|Empire State]], where the [[Wikipedia:Battenkill|Battenkill]] runs into the [[Wikipedia:Hudson River|Hudson River]]. ** Chapter 65, p. 317 === ''[[w:The Long Emergency|The Long Emergency]]'' (2005) === Kunstler, James Howard. ''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, '''once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible''' […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, [to be] driven on a six-lane freeway. '''If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves?''' Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. '''The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on.''' The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by {{convert|20|F|C}} in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * '''Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights.''' As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * '''What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape—a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia.''' The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. '''Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities).''' ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? '''Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them?''' ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * '''I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known.''' I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] ffbfswxb1b0wx948ujidv0o02bsppuy 3147389 3147386 2022-07-26T13:03:35Z 2001:1388:660:D4AC:9520:5D2B:ACC1:FD5F /* Quotes */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Jim w mustache.jpg|thumb|right]] '''[[W:James Howard Kunstler|James Howard Kunstler]]''' (born [[October 19]], [[1948]], New York City, New York) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. == Quotes == * As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down Europe’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, in the new times, there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard. Not much that we did required punctuality, but people still wanted to know what time it was. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * The racket was coming over what used to be our public radio station, WAMC out of [[Wikipedia:Albany, New York|Albany]], but the familiar [...] voices [...] were long gone. Some febrile evangelist was railing from the [[Book of Revelation]]. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * I switched on the television on the outside chance that something might come through. Nothing had been on for years. The local network affiliates withered away after the national network of cable channels went out until there was nothing. ** Chapter 4, p. 20–21 * I searched the FM band but there was nothing besides other pious pleaders, and they didn't come in too well. The AM band offered about the same thing, only with worse reception, nothing remotely describable as news, and no music because commercial entertainment as we knew it was no more, and its handmaiden, advertising had gone with it. ** Chapter 4, p. 21 * I had one of those steel thermal mugs you carried everywhere with you as a kind of signifier of how busy, and therefore how important you were. ** Chapter 4, p. 22 * It was obvious there would be no return to [what we used to call] "normality." The [resource-intensive] economy wouldn't be coming back. [[Wikipedia:Globalism|Globalism]] was over. The politicians and generals were failing to pull things together at the center. We would not be returning to Boston. The computer industry, in which so many hopes had been vested, was fading into history. ** Chapter 4, p. 24 * In a world that had become a salvage operation, the general supply evolved into Union Grove's leading industry. When every last useful thing in town had been stripped from the [[Wikipedia:Kmart|Kmart]] and the United Auto, the [[Wikipedia:CVS Pharmacy|CVS drugstore]], and other trading establishments of the bygone national chain-store economy, daily life became a perpetual flea market centered on the old town dump. ** Chapter 5, p. 28 * We regarded [[Wikipedia:Opium|opium]] as a godsend. It did not develop into an illicit trade, though. There was no legal prohibition, no police running around trying to suppress drugs, driving up the price artificially, and no marketing system. There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had actually happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm practically a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. It's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. ** Chapter 29, p. 142 * Whatever the other failures of the U.S. government were, it had managed to print an excess of dollars which, combined with the collapse of trade and communication, had severely eroded the currency's value. ** Chapter 30, p. 146 * I lay awake [...] listening to the rain drip from the eaves and thinking of the big map that hung from the top of the chalkboard in my primary school in Wilton, Connecticut, so many years ago, back in the days of cars, television, and air-conditioning. The states on this map were muted tones of pink, green, and yellow. Over it hung the flag that we pledged allegiance to every single morning.

''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, '''once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible''' […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, [to be] driven on a six-lane freeway. '''If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves?''' Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. '''The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on.''' The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by {{convert|20|F|C}} in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * '''Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights.''' As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * '''What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape—a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia.''' The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. '''Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities).''' ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? '''Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them?''' ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * '''I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known.''' I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] 8dpbssfmwg84u0ts2eo6x0g3lllj9k4 3147392 3147389 2022-07-26T13:07:59Z 2001:1388:660:D4AC:9520:5D2B:ACC1:FD5F /* World Made by Hand (2008) */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Jim w mustache.jpg|thumb|right]] '''[[W:James Howard Kunstler|James Howard Kunstler]]''' (born [[October 19]], [[1948]], New York City, New York) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, and blogger. == Quotes == * As modern interpolators might say, the bubonic plague winnowed down Europe’s population to a scale more congenial with its resource base.

We got our food from the supermarket, and not everybody cared where the supermarket got it as long as it was there on the shelves. A few elderly dairymen hung on. Many let their fields and pastures go to scrub. Some sold out to what used to be called developers, and they'd put in five or ten poorly build houses. Now, […] there were far fewer people, and many houses outside [the] town were being taken down for their materials. Farming was back. That was the only way we got food. ** Chapter 1, p. 5 * We lived more by the sun than by the clock, but I did own a clock. It was an eight-day windup console clock which I kept on the mantel in the living room, and it was the only timepiece in the house that worked anymore. ** Chapter 4, p. 20 * Living by the clock was an old habit that died hard.

There were no distant markets to send it to because shipping anything was slow at best and often unreliable, and travel was something you just didn't do anymore. Anybody could grow their own [[Wikipedia:Papaver somniferum|poppies]] or buy raw opium paste from one of the growers. Farmers made more money growing raspberries or asparagus. They grew poppies as a public service. A few people took to smoking opium, but those with an extremely apathetic attitude toward survival tended not to last long in the new disposition of things. ** Chapter 5, p. 30 * Children [...] had sat in those very box buildings under buzzing fluorescent lights listening to their science teachers prattle about the wonders of space travel and gene splicing and how we were all going to live to be a hundred and twenty-five years old in "smart" computer-controlled houses where all we had to do was speak to bump up the heat or turn on giant home theater screens in a life of perpetual leisure and comfort. It made me sick to think about. Not because there's something necessarily wrong with leisure or comfort, but because that's where our aspirations ended. And in the face of what had […] happened to us, it seemed obscenely stupid. ** Chapter 6, p. 33–34 * Motion is a great tranquilizer. ** Chapter 6, p. 34 * Few dogs were around anymore. Some had been eaten during the hunger that followed the flu in the spring of that year. People didn't talk about it; it was so demoralizing. ** Chapter 7, p. 36 * Jesus [...] look how we live? I'm […] a serf. ** Chapter 7, p. 37 * You could argue people are generally better off now mentally than they were back then. We follow the natural cycles. We eat real food instead of processed crap full of chemicals. We're not jacked up on coffee and television and [...] advertising all the time. No more anxiety about credit card bills. ** Chapter 7, p. 37–38 * We all knew the apparatus of justice had dissolved. ** Chapter 12, p. 57 * As the world changed, we reverted to social divisions that we'd thought were obsolete. The egalitarian pretenses of the high-octane decades had dissolved, and nobody even debated it anymore, including the women of our town. A plain majority of the townspeople were laborers now, whatever in life they had been before. Nobody in town called them peasants, but in effect, that's what they'd become. That's just the way things were. ** Chapter 21, p. 101 * [[Wikipedia:Waterford (town), New York|Waterford]] began its existence as the gateway to the [[Wikipedia:Erie Canal|Erie Canal system]], the first stretch of which was built to bypass several waterfalls on the [[Wikipedia:Mohawk River|Mohawk River]]. ** Chapter 28, p. 137 * I remembered Albany [...] as just another down-on-its-luck small American city that had sacrificed its vitality to a whirring ring of homogenous suburbs. ** Chapter 29, p. 140 * We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. It's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. ** Chapter 29, p. 142 * Whatever the other failures of the U.S. government were, it had managed to print an excess of dollars which, combined with the collapse of trade and communication, had severely eroded the currency's value. ** Chapter 30, p. 146 * I lay awake [...] listening to the rain drip from the eaves and thinking of the big map that hung from the top of the chalkboard in my primary school in Wilton, Connecticut, so many years ago, back in the days of cars, television, and air-conditioning. The states on this map were muted tones of pink, green, and yellow. Over it hung the flag that we pledged allegiance to every single morning. "One nation under God, indivisible..." ** Chapter 31, p. 150 * I'd been carrying [my Ruger .41 Magnum] so many days that I had almost forgotten it was there. This was the kind of world we now lived in. ** Chapter 36, p. 171 * I argued that […] human[s] […] should have known it was in trouble, [...] given how insane our way of life had become. Minor quit blowing into his harmonica long enough to say that [[Wikipedia:John D. Rockefeller|John D. Rockefeller]] and the [[Wikipedia:Bush family|Bush family]] had made a deal with the Devil going back all the way to the 1900s. ** Chapter 38, p. 181 * Could we even pretend the law still existed? Or was it something you made up now, as the occasion required? ** Chapter 38, p. 181 * The essence of politics was to not act on your impulses. ** Chapter 42, p. 199 * There's real strangeness in this world of ours. Back in the machine times, there was so much noise front and back, […] it kept us from knowing what lies behind the surface of things. ** Chapter 55, p. 262 * It was more possible that […] human[s] […] possessed some spark of divinity that was worth cultivating than that a mysterious ''being'' was up there in the ether somewhere with anthropomorphic qualities of goodness and mercy running the whole show. ** Chapter 65, p. 315–316 * We were content to be undisturbed in our little backwater, Union Grove, [[Wikipedia:Washington County, New York|Washington County]], in a place once called the [[Wikipedia:New York State|Empire State]], where the [[Wikipedia:Battenkill|Battenkill]] runs into the [[Wikipedia:Hudson River|Hudson River]]. ** Chapter 65, p. 317 === ''[[w:The Long Emergency|The Long Emergency]]'' (2005) === Kunstler, James Howard. ''The Long Emergency''. New York, NY: Grove Press, 2005. Print. {{ISBN|978-0-8711-3888-0}}. * It has been [...] hard [...] to make sense of the gathering forces that will fundamentally alter the terms of everyday life in [...] society. Even after the {{w|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001}}, that collapsed the twin towers of the {{w|World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center}} and sliced through [[the Pentagon]], [...] [we are] still sleepwalking into [an uncertain] [...] future. We have walked out of our burning house, and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. […] It is my view, for instance, that in the decades to come the national government will prove to be so impotent and ineffective in managing the enormous vicissitudes we face that the [[United States]] may not survive as a nation in any meaningful sense but […] will devolve into a set of autonomous regions. ** Chapter 1, p. 1. * It is no exaggeration to state that reliable supplies of cheap [and easy-to-find [[hydrocarbon]]s like] [[oil]] and [[w:natural gas|natural gas]] underlie everything we identify as a benefit of modern life. All the necessities, comforts, luxuries, and miracles of our time [...] owe their origins or continued existence in one way or another to cheap fossil fuel. Even our nuclear power plants [...] depend on cheap [...] [hydrocarbons] for all the procedures of construction, maintenance, and extracting and processing nuclear fuels. The blandishments of cheap oil and gas were so seductive, and induced such transports of mesmerizing contentment, that we ceased paying attention to the essential nature of these miraculous gifts from the [deep] earth: that they exist in finite, nonrenewable supplies, unevenly distributed around the world. To aggravate matters, the wonders of steady technological progress under the reign of oil have tricked us [...] to believe that anything we wish for hard enough can come true. These days, even people in our culture who ought to know better are wishing ardently that a smooth, seamless transition from fossil fuels to their putative replacements [...] lies just a few years ahead. [...] This is a dangerous fantasy. The true best-case scenario may be that some of these technologies will take decades to develop–meaning that we can expect an extremely turbulent interval between the end of cheap oil and whatever comes next. A more likely scenario is that new fuels and technologies may never replace fossil fuels at the scale, rate, and manner at which the [industrial] world currently consumes them. ** Chapter 1, p. 2–3. * What is [...] not comprehended about this predicament is that the developed world will begin to suffer long before the oil and gas [...] run out. The [[American Dream|American way of life]] [...] can run only on reliable supplies of dependably cheap [hydrocarbons like] oil and gas. Even mild to moderate deviations in [...] supply will crush our economy and make […] daily life impossible. Fossil fuel reserves are not scattered equitably around the world. They tend to be concentrated in places where the native peoples don’t like the West in general [...], places physically very remote, places where we realistically can exercise little control [...]. [...] We can be certain that the price and supplies of fossil fuels will suffer oscillations and disruptions in the period ahead [...]. [...] The decline of fossil fuels is certain to ignite chronic strife between nations contesting the remaining supplies. These resource wars have already begun. There will be more of them. They are [...] likely to grind on and on [...]. They will only aggravate a situation that, in and of itself, could bring down civilizations. The extent of suffering [...] will certainly depend on how tenaciously we attempt to cling to obsolete habits, customs, and assumptions–for instance, how fiercely [...] [we] decide to fight to maintain suburban lifestyles that simply cannot be rationalized any longer. ** Chapter 1, p. 3. * [[Thomas Robert Malthus|[Thomas] Malthus]] was certainly correct [that demand will outstrip supply], but [...] [hydrocarbons] [...] skewed the [supply-demand] equation over the past [two] hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of [a fraction of] nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory. The “green revolution” in boosting crop yields was minimally about scientific innovation in crop genetics and mostly about dumping massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides made [...] of [...] [petroleum] onto crops, as well as employing irrigation at a fantastic scale made possible by abundant oil and gas. The cheap oil age created an artificial bubble of plenitude for a period not much longer than a human lifetime, a hundred years. Within that […], the idea took hold that only grouches, spoilsports, and godless maniacs considered population hypergrowth a problem [with a direct solution], and that to even raise the issue was indecent. [...] As oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population [...] that the ecology of the earth [sic] will not support. No political program of birth control will avail. The people are already here. The journey back to non-oil population homeostasis will not be pretty. '''We will discover the hard way that [[w:Baby boom|population hypergrowth]] was simply a side effect of the oil age.''' It was [more of] a condition [without a remedy], not a problem with a [direct] solution. That is what happened, and we are stuck with it. ** Chapter 1, p. 8. * The high tide of the [...] [industrial] age also happened to be a moment in history when human ingenuity gained an upper hand against the age-old scourges of disease. We have enjoyed the great benefits of antibiotic medicine for [...] a half-century. Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and their descendants briefly gave [hu]mankind the notion that diseases caused by microorganisms could, and indeed would, be systematically vanquished. Or, at least, this was the popular view. Doctors and scientists knew better. [...] The recognition is now growing that the victory over microbes was short-lived. They are back in force, including [...] old enemies such as tuberculosis and staphylococcus in new drug-resistant strains. Other old diseases are on the march into new territories, as a response to climate change brought on by global warming [caused by the burning of fossil fuels]. In response to unprecedented habitat destruction by humans and the invasion of [what we call] wilderness, the earth [sic] itself seems to be sending forth new and much more lethal diseases, as though it had a [...] protective immune system with antibody-like agents aimed with remarkable precision at the source of the problem: ''Homo sapiens''. ** Chapter 1, p. 9–10. * At the same time, the world is overdue for an extreme influenza epidemic. The last major outbreak was the [[w:Spanish flu|1918 Spanish influenza]], which killed fifty million [and possibly more, as we will not know the real numbers] people worldwide and changed the course of history. […] Disease will certainly play a larger role in the Long Emergency than many can now imagine. An epidemic could paralyze social and economic systems, interrupt global trade, and bring down governments. […] '''At the very least, the Long Emergency will be a time of diminished life spans for many of us, as well as reduced standards of living'''–at least as understood within the current social context. Fossil fuels had the effect of temporarily raising the carrying capacity of the earth. Our ability to resist the environmental corrective of disease will [...] prove to have been another temporary boon of the [...] [industrial] age [...]. So much of what we construe to be among our entitlements to perpetual progress may prove to have been a strange, marvelous, and anomalous moment in [...] history. ** Chapter 1, p. 11–12. * The so-called global economy was not a permanent institution, [...] but a set of transient circumstances peculiar to a certain time: the […] fossil fuel era. […] Factories could be started up in [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Malaysia]], where swollen populations furnished trainable workers willing to labor for much less than those back in the United States or [[Europe]]. Products then moved around the globe in a highly rationalized system, not unlike the oil allocation system, using immense vessels, automated port facilities, and truck-scaled shipping containers at a minuscule cost-per-unit of whatever was made and transported. Shirts or coffeemakers manufactured 12,000 miles away could be shipped to Wal-Marts all over America and sold cheaply. […] Meanwhile, among economists and government figures, globalism developed [...] [as] an intellectual fad. Globalism allowed them to believe that burgeoning wealth in the developed countries, and the spread of industrial activity to formerly primitive regions, was based on the potency of their own ideas and policies rather than on cheap [and easy-to-find hydrocarbons like] oil. […] [An] overlooked [fact] is that [[Margaret Thatcher|[Margaret] Thatcher]]’s success in reviving England coincided with a fantastic new revenue stream from {{w|North Sea}} oil, as quaint old Britannia became energy self-sufficient and a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since the heyday of coal. Globalism then infected America when [[Ronald Reagan]] came on the scene in 1981. Reagan’s ‘supply-side” economic advisors retailed a set of fiscal ideas that neatly accessorized the new notions about free trade and deregulation, chiefly that massively reducing taxes would […] result in greater revenues as the greater aggregate of business activity generated a greater aggregate of taxes even at lower rates. (What it […] generated was huge government deficits.) […] The rise of computers, in turn, promoted the fantasy that commerce in sheer information would be the long-sought replacement for all the played-out activities of the smokestack economy. A country like America, it was now thought, no longer needed steelmaking or tire factories or other harsh, dirty, troublesome enterprises. Let the poor masses of [[Asia]] and {{w|South America}} have them and lift themselves up from agricultural peonage. America would outsource all this old economy stuff and use computers to orchestrate the movement of parts and the assembly of products from distant quarters of the world, and then sell the stuff in our own {{w|K-mart}}s and {{w|Wal-Mart}}s, which would become global juggernauts of retailing. […] It was also like a convoluted liquidation sale of the accrued wealth of two hundred years of industrial society for the benefit of a handful of financial buccaneers, with the great masses relegated to a race to the bottom as the economic assets are dismantled and sold off, and their livelihoods are closed […]. That this development was uniformly greeted as a public good by the vast majority of Americans, at the same time that their local economies were being destroyed—and with them, myriad social and civic benefits—is one of the greater enigmas of recent social history. In effect, Americans threw away their communities […] to save a few dollars on hair dryers and plastic food storage tubs, never stopping to reflect on what they were destroying. ** Chapter 1, p. 12-16. * [Globalism's] demise will coincide with the end of the cheap-oil age. For better or worse, many of the circumstances we associate with globalism will be reversed. Markets will close as political turbulence and military mischief interrupt trade relations. As markets close, societies will turn increasingly to import replacement[s] for sheer economic survival. The cost of transport will no longer be negligible in a post-cheap-oil age. Many of our agricultural products will have to be produced closer to home, and [...] by more intensive [...] labor as oil and natural gas supplies become increasingly unstable. The world will stop shrinking and become larger again. Virtually all [...] the [...] relationships [...] that we have taken for granted as permanent will be radically changed [...]. Life will become intensely and increasingly local. ** Chapter 1, p. 17. * In any case, the tragic truth is that much of suburbia is unreformable. It does not lend itself to being retrofitted into the [...] mixed-use, smaller scaled, more fine-grained walkable environments we will need to carry on daily life in the coming age of [...] reduced motoring. [...] Instead, this suburban real estate [...] will enter a phase of rapid and cruel devaluation. Many of the suburban subdivisions will become the slums of the future. […] The seasons […] will continue with the great cycles of contraction and expansion, and at some point, in the future, who knows how many years distant, some of these cities in a land once called [the [[United States|United States of North] America]] may be robust and cosmopolitan in ways that we can’t imagine now, any more than a Roman of A.D. 38 might have been able to imagine the future London of the Beatles. ** Chapter 1, p. 17–18. * […] We have lived through as a narrative episode in a greater saga of human history. The industrial story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. [[w:First Industrial Revolution|It begins in the mid-eighteenth century with coal and the first steam engines]], [[w:Second Industrial Revolution|proceeds to a robust second act]] climaxing in the years before [[World War I]], and moves toward a third act resolution now that we can anticipate with some precision the depletion of the resources that made the industrial episode possible. As the industrial story ends, the greater saga of [hu]mankind will move on into a new episode, the Long Emergency. This is […] a self-evident point, but throughout history, even the most important and self-evident trends are often completely ignored because the changes they foreshadow are simply unthinkable. That process is sometimes referred to as an “outside context problem,” something so far beyond the ordinary experience of those dwelling in a certain time and place that they cannot make sense of available information. The collective mental static preventing comprehension is also sometimes referred to as “cognitive dissonance,” a term borrowed from developmental psychology. It helps explain why the […] public has been sleepwalking into the future. The Long Emergency is going to be a tremendous trauma for […] human[s] […]. It is likely to entail political [and social] turbulence every bit as extreme as the economic conditions that prompt it. ** Chapter 1, p. 20. * Whole ideologies had to be constructed to account for being modern and to explain it. ** Chapter 2, p. 22. * Now, exactly a hundred years after the first powered flight at {{w|Kitty Hawk, North Carolina}}, I can get on a jet airplane twice the size of a house several times a month and fly halfway across North America in the time it takes to finish a newspaper—and I end up feeling cranky and resentful about the service, to boot! They ran out of pretzels! The air conditioning was set too low! […] Everything characteristic about the condition we call modern life has been a direct result of our access to abundant supplies of cheap [[Fossil fuel|fossil fuels]]. Fossil fuels have permitted us to fly, to go where we want to go rapidly, and move things easily from place to place. Fossil fuels rescued us from the despotic darkness of the night. They have made the pharaonic scale of building commonplace everywhere. They have allowed a fractionally tiny percentage of our swollen populations to produce massive amounts of food. They have allowed us to develop industries of surpassing ingenuity and to push the limits of what it even means to be human [...]. [But] The age of fossil fuels is about to end. There is no replacement for them at hand. ** Chapter 2, p. 23. * Because the oil peak phenomenon […] cancels out further industrial growth of the kind we are used to, its implications lie radically outside […] economic paradigm. So, the oil peak phenomenon has been discounted to about zero among conventional economists, who assume that “market signals” about oil supplies will inevitably trigger innovation, which, in turn, will cause [something] new […] to materialize and enable further growth. If the market signals are not triggering innovation, then the problem must be overstated and growth under the oil regime will resume—after, say, a normal periodic downcycle. This is obvious casuistry, but casuistry can be a great comfort when a problem has no real solution. […] Our investment in an oil-addicted way of life […] is now so inordinately large that it is too late to salvage all the national wealth wasted on building it, or to continue that way of life more than a decade or so into the future. What’s more, as we have outsourced manufacturing to other countries, the entire U.S. economy has become more […] dependent on continued misinvestment in […] suburbia and its accessories. No politician wants to tell voters that the [[American Dream]] has been canceled for a lack of […] resources. The U.S. economy would disintegrate. So, whichever party is in power has tended to ignore the issue, change the subject, or spin it into the realm of delusion. ** Chapter 2, p. 28. * Oil is an amazing substance. It stores a tremendous amount of energy per weight and volume. It is easy to transport. It stores easily at regular air temperature in unpressurized metal tanks, and it can sit there indefinitely without degrading. You can pump it through a pipe, you can send it all over the world in ships, you can haul it around in trains, cars, and trucks, you can even fly it in tanker planes and refuel other airplanes in flight. It is flammable but has proven to be safe to handle with a modest amount of care by people with double-digit IQs. […] We used [oil] [...] as if there was no tomorrow. Now there may not be one. That's how special oil has been. ** Chapter 2, p. 31. * […] Suburbia turned out to be a disappointing cartoon of country living rather than the real thing [that] was a tragic unanticipated consequence […]. ** Chapter 2, p. 40. * […] The base price of a barrel of oil did eventually more than quadruple by the time the embargo was called off in March 1974. And the price rise alone staggered the West and Japan. Already at that time, public transit was a thing of the past and about 85 percent of Americans drove to work every day. ** Chapter 2, p. 46. * Oil is the world's most critical resource. Without it, nothing works in industrial civilization as currently configured. Few people dispute the idea that the world will eventually run out of oil, and there is a broad recognition that it will happen [...]. ** Chapter 3, p. 64. * The total planetary endowment of conventional nonrenewable liquid oil was [...] two trillion barrels before humans started using it [and possibly more, as most of it was used to protect the Earth's crust]. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the world has burned through [...] one trillion barrels of oil, [...] representing the easiest-to-get, highest-quality liquids. [...] Oil has enabled the [[w:Baby boom|[post-War] population explosion]]. ** Chapter 3, p. 66. * The denial about [the] global peak in the United States is already fierce, as investments in car-dependent, oil-addicted infrastructure are greater here than in any other nation and Americans consider their way of life a God-given entitlement. […] The economic [...] [struggle] among [...] all nations, [...] will be considerable and is certain to lead to increasingly desperate competition for diminishing supplies of oil [and every other resource]. ** Chapter 3, p. 68. * […] With China becoming a presence by necessity in the region, we would be back in a cold war again, or something worse, contesting with a rival world hegemon, this time over […] resources, not [just] ideology. ** Chapter 3, p. 84. * Eventually, […] [we] will have to contend with the problems of the Long Emergency: the end of industrial growth, falling standards of living, economic desperation, declining food production, and domestic political strife. A point will be reached when the great powers of the world no longer have the means to project their power any distance. Even nuclear weapons may become inoperable, considering how much their careful maintenance depends on other technological systems linked to our fossil fuel economy. ** Chapter 3, p. 98. * To some degree, all […] the non-fossil fuel energy sources […] depend on an underlying fossil fuel economy. You can’t manufacture metal wind turbines using wind energy technology. You can’t make lead-acid storage batteries for solar electric systems using any known solar energy systems. ** Chapter 3, p. 100. * This age-old tendency of humans to believe in magical deliverance and to wish for happy outcomes has been aggravated by the very technological triumphs that the oil age brought into existence. Technology itself has become a […] supernatural force, one that has demonstrably delivered all kinds of miracles within the memory of many people now living […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 101. * Natural gas […] is not as versatile as gasoline, but it does a lot of tasks beautifully. Gas is the feedstock—the raw material—for a wide array of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Ninety-five percent of the nitrogenous fertilizers used in America are made […] of natural gas, and so it has become indispensable to U.S. agriculture. ** Chapter 3, p. 103. * Both the mining and the washing [of hydrocarbons] require huge amounts of energy, and it has been proposed that any commercial exploitation of the [[w:Athabasca oil sands|Alberta tar sands]] would take 20 percent of [[Canada]]’s total natural gas production. In the long run, it might not be worth expending the energy from gas to get the energy from the tar sands. If oil from the tar sands themselves were used to process more tar sands, the return would be three barrels of oil for every two consumed. […] In the early days of conventional oil in [[Texas]], the {{w|ERoEI}} formula was very favorable, around twenty to one. The oil was found close to the surface on dry land in temperate places easy to work in, and it gushed out of the ground under its own pressure. […] Going a bit further, the fundamental equations that support all gigantic […] organisms, […] may no longer obtain, and human life would have to reorganize its activities on a different basis. Also, '''once these complex systems and their subsystems halt their operations, restarting them may range from difficult to impossible''' […]. ** Chapter 3, p. 108. * [[w:Ancient Roman architecture|Roman architecture]] would have been impossible without the complex socioeconomic platform of [the] empire. The medieval social platform for northern European life was less elaborate and […] less complex. Compare these two historical cases with the complexity of social and economic organization that allows oil to be extracted from the ground, refined to gasoline, transported six thousand miles, and used in a highly engineered, fine-tuned machine called a car, [to be] driven on a six-lane freeway. '''If the social and economic platform fails, how long before the knowledge base dissolves?''' Two hundred years from now, will anyone know how to build or even repair a 1962 Chrysler slant-six engine? Not to mention a Nordex 1500 kW wind turbine? […] The existing knowledge in basic physics and chemistry is so widespread that it is likely to persist quite a while into the future and provide a foundation for doing more with less than, say, the people of the eighteenth century were able to do with their more limited knowledge. ** Chapter 4, p. 130. * We surely will have to reform our land-use habits and the oil-based transportation system that has allowed us to run our car-crazy suburban environments. We'll have to drastically change the way we grow our food and where we grow it. [The] social organization may be quite different in the decades ahead. Features of contemporary life that we have taken for granted [...] may fade into history. Politics that evolved to suit the [...] [industrial age] may morph beyond recognition [...]. ** Chapter 4, p. 141. * '''Our brains are […] not equipped to process events on the geologic scale'''—at least in reference to how we choose to live, or what we choose to do in the here-and-now. ** Chapter 5, p. 148. * [Global warming] [...] happens to coincide with our imminent descent down the slippery slope of [...] [hydrocarbon] depletion, so that '''all the potential discontinuities of that epochal circumstance will be amplified, ramified, reinforced, and torqued by climate change.''' If global warming is a result of human activity, fossil fuel-based industrialism, [...] then it seems [...] the prospects are poor that […] human[s] […] will be able to do anything about it, because the journey down the oil depletion arc will be much more disorderly than the journey up was. '''The disruptions and hardships of decelerating industrialism will destabilize governments and societies to the degree that concerted international action [...] will never be carried out. In the chaotic world of diminishing and contested [...] resources, there will simply be a mad scramble to use up whatever [...] people can manage to lay their hands on.''' The very idea that we possess any control over the process seems to be further evidence of the delusion gripping our [...] culture [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 148–149. * [...] Abrupt climate change may be normal in the planet's history, or, to state it differently, that the earth's [sic] climate is inherently very unstable. ** Chapter 5, p. 149. * Without the [[w:Gulf Stream|Gulf Stream]], [[United Kingdom|Britain]], [[France]], the [[w:Low Countries|Low Countries]], and [[Scandinavia]] would have a climate like [[w:Labrador|Labrador]]’s, colder by {{convert|20|F|C}} in annual mean. The Gulf Stream has been likened to an oceanic conveyor belt. The force of the warm water flowing north has been described as equal to the volume of seventy-five [[w:Amazon River|Amazon river]]s. ** Chapter 5, p. 153. * According to the {{w|IPCC}}, sea levels rose by ten to twenty centimeters during the twentieth century and are currently rising by about two millimeters a year, which is at the upper range of the rate of rise for the last century. With global warming accelerating, this is apt to increase. The accepted prediction is that sea levels will rise during the twenty-first century by about fifty centimeters, or a little under two feet, though some scientists predict a full meter. […] One-sixth of the people in the world live in coastal zones within one meter of sea level. This is the […] outside context problem so alien to contemporary experience that the public and its leaders can really find no way to process the information and figure out what to do about it—and for the excellent reason that it is not a problem with a direct solution. It is more a condition without a remedy. If the major shipping ports […] end up being submerged, humankind will just have to work around it. The disruptions to world trade might be epochal, gigantic, […] [and] tragic. It seems obvious that […] human[s] […] will simply have to adjust, even if that means adjusting to a new reality of severely lower expectations in living standards, comfort, and amenity. […] When the time comes, […] [we] will just have to move to higher ground. ** Chapter 5, p. 162. * Harvard biologist [[w:E. O. Wilson|Edward O. Wilson]] warns that [[China]]'s current program to mitigate huge population increases with gigantic water projects may have dire consequences. Irrigation and other withdrawals have already depleted the {{w|Yellow River}}, which, starting in 1972, has run bone-dry part of the year in {{w|Shandong}} province, where one-fifth of China's wheat and one-seventh of its corn is produced. In 1997, the river stopped flowing for a record 226 days. The groundwater levels of the northern China plains have plummeted. The water table in major grain-producing areas is falling at the rate of five feet a year. Of China's 617 cities, three hundred already face water shortages. Of China's approximately 23,000 miles of major rivers, 80 percent no longer support fish life. The [[w:Xiaolangdi Dam|Xiaolangdi dam project]] now underway along the Yellow River in north China is exceeded in size only by the {{w|Three Gorges Dam}} on the {{w|Yangtze}} in South China. In addition, the Chinese government intends to siphon water from the Yangtze […] and send it over by a canal system to the Yellow River and Beijing, respectively. When it is running, the Yellow River is already one of the most particle-laden in the world. Because of that, it is estimated that the Xiaolangdi dam would silt up within thirty years of completion. The […] project is reminiscent of another centrally planned mega-project that ended in grief: the [[Soviet Union]]'s scheme to drain the {{w|Aral Sea}} to irrigate gigantic cotton farms in [[Kazakhstan]]. The project turned one of the world's largest inland bodies of fresh water into [a] salty desert. The potential for calamity in China is therefore huge as it skirts a range of forces presented by the Long Emergency, any one of which, or some combination, could send it reeling over its tipping point: the effects of global climate change, competition for [every resource including] oil, extremes of pollution, disease, and war, either with its neighbors or internally. Despite the current veneer of prosperity and stability, China has tremendous potential for political chaos. As Wilson fearlessly points out, the pressure on China's agriculture and water resources is intensified by the predicament shared by many countries: runaway population growth [caused by industrialization]. '''Population growth rates may be mitigated […] from culture to culture by economic advance (which tends to lower reproductive rates by channeling women into the workplace), but economic development produces other [[w:Jevons paradox|not-so-benign consequences]].''' Developing [systems like] nation[-state]s invariably increase their energy use [as they grow complex]. More cars are used, more electricity [is] generated, [and] more greenhouse emissions [are] sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, […] “there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop.” China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. ** Chapter 5, p. 163–164. * Like China, the United States is divided […] in half between wet and dry. Though the human population of the United States is proportionately much smaller than China's, the amount of effort America has expended on manipulating habitats and altering terrain is as impressive in its own way as China's birthrate. Especially significant is the stupendous amount of paving laid down in the United States during the past hundred years. It prevents rain from being absorbed as groundwater and sends it instead into rivers, and […] into the ocean. The effect of this is the inability of water tables and wetlands to recharge and the diminishing ability of the terrain to support life. In the United States, only 2 percent of the country's rivers and wetlands remain free-flowing and undeveloped. As a result, the country has lost more than half of its wetlands. ** Chapter 5, p. 165. * '''Climate change, competition for water, and polluted water sources will also be exacerbated by failures in the electric grid caused by oil and gas supply disruptions.''' Even if water is available, localities may lack the power to push it through their treatment plants and municipal pipes. ** Chapter 5, p. 166. * Fifty years of easy living with the miracle of antibiotics was a major contributor to the hubris that gripped the industrial nations in the early twenty-first century. Smallpox was eliminated except in strategic laboratory samples. Measles was conquered. Sexually transmitted diseases that used to leave people maimed and crazy were cured with one visit to the doctor. Many tropical diseases seemed to be on the wane as immunology and pharmacology bolstered widespread progress in sanitation and nutrition. The vanquishing of disease represented a [...] meta-victory by [hu]mankind over a much greater set of enemies than the parochial combatants of our geopolitical wars. Indeed, these great advances of medical science against disease took place against the backdrop of war. The United States emerged victorious from [[w:World War II|the last [...] world war]], having defeated manifest political evil, armed with penicillin and sulfa drugs. The postwar antibiotic miracle contributed to a false sense of security in the public and a sense of [...] omnipotence [...]. ** Chapter 5, p. 167. * '''As the struggle over the remaining oil and gas intensifies, larger numbers of economic losers will be created''', and those economic losers will be underfed, ill-housed, poorly doctored, badly informed, badly behaved, and subject to plummeting life expectancies. ** Chapter 5, p. 170. * Despite miraculous advances in medical technology, genetic typing, and immunology, [...] [we] are not much better prepared for a severe flu epidemic than they were for [[w:Spanish flu|the 1918 outbreak]]. Epidemic influenza is extremely difficult to counteract. Flu vaccines developed in any given year are notoriously ineffective against new strains that come along the following year. It takes seven months or more to create, test, manufacture, and distribute a vaccine developed in direct response to a new virus, and by that time the disease can burn through global populations. '''If a pandemic broke out today, hospital facilities would be overwhelmed. Nurses and doctors would be infected along with the rest of the population.''' ** Chapter 5, p. 173. * {{w|Operation Dark Winter}} employed a cast of volunteers […] to act out roles following a script in which a terrorist released smallpox in one eastern U.S. city. The result was sobering to an extreme. The public health system virtually collapsed. Hospitals degenerated into chaos. Smallpox spread to twenty-five states and overseas. The national stockpile of vaccines proved to be deeply inadequate. The exercise was called off after four days from the sheer exhaustion of the participants, while the fictional epidemic was still spreading. ** Chapter 5, p. 176. * The [[w:Germ theory of disease|germ theory]], which emerged in the late nineteenth century, focused the world's attention on the specific agents responsible for [...] diseases, but the [physical,] social and ecological contexts are equally important, and these are now coming more prominently into play with world population well beyond the limits of the earth's [sic] [...] [optimum] carrying capacity and with climate change [...] in progress. [...] Ecological [...] [pressures], rapid changes in land use, penetration of formerly inaccessible habitats, and disturbed migration routes can lead to the appearance or diffusion of a disease. While we may be able to identify [some, if not all] the microorganisms involved, we can be helpless in the face of it, and our behavior may still promote its spread. ** Chapter 5, p. 177. * [...] The disturbance of global oil markets as the permanent energy crisis begins is liable to interrupt global commerce and global travel. Fewer […] will fly [...]. However, these same energy problems will surely reduce crop production, which would lead to reduced food aid to desperate populations [...], which would then lead to compromised immune systems and the [...] [invasion] of poor, hungry, and [...] unhealthy people [...]. This is an obvious recipe for conflict and woe. Where the refugee camps [are] set up, [the] disease will surely follow. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * '''The attrition of global populations by disease[s] may be unavoidable.''' Some [...] may regard it as the inevitable revenge of nature against the hubris of a human species arrogantly exceeding the carrying capacity of its habitat. Some may regard it as a moral victory against wickedness. Some may view it in the therapeutic mode as a positive development for the health of the planet. Many self-conscious "humanists" have militated for the goal of reducing population growth —though most of them would have [...] preferred widespread birth control [using contraceptive methods like the birth pill and condoms, ironically made from cheap oil] to a die-off. [Contraceptive methods] might have been just another product of the narcotic comfort of cheap oil [...]. Apart from these issues of attitude and ethics, however, a major decline in [...] population [...] is apt to have profound and strange repercussions on everyday life. ** Chapter 5, p. 178. * [...] We [...] flatter ourselves to think that we are above this kind of general catastrophe—because our [...] prowess during the [...] [industrial age] was so marvelous that all future problems are (supposedly) guaranteed to be solved by similar applications of ingenuity. This was certainly the consensus among the scientists, computer geniuses, and biotech millionaires [...]. They were uniformly uninterested in the issues of the global oil peak and natural gas depletion and utterly convinced that the industrial societies would be rescued by hydrogen, wind power, and solar electricity, all to be figured out by their cohort techno-geniuses in [...] time. If there is anything we have been stupendously bad at in the preceding century of wonders, it is recognizing the diminishing returns of our [...] [technological] prowess. Some of our greatest achievements, [...] have produced dreadful diminishing returns [...]. This persistent failure or weakness [...] negates the value of our ability to see what's coming. [...] Rather than [...] progress, we are more likely to see [...] the loss of information, ability, and confidence. ** Chapter 5, p. 181. * Many individual immune systems will be compromised by the hardships of the Long Emergency and disease will seize the opportunities presented, as it always has. [...] Millions [and perhaps billions] of human beings are going to die. ** Chapter 5, p. 182. * As hunger and hardship increase, the world may see more than one wave of more than one disease. If [...] an influenza pandemic emerges, for instance, many [...] will succumb [...]. [...] The age-old human enemies [...] will be on hand with new immunity to the old techno-tricks of the [nineteenth and] twentieth [...] [centuries]. [...] Nobody really knows where that is taking us, though we do know that [...] [our ancestors] endured more than one ice age in the past. ** Chapter 5, p. 182–183. * The current urban population of the world […] is greater than the entire population of the world in 1960. Seventy-eight percent of the urban dwellers in the so-called developing world live in slums. From the West African littoral to the mountainsides of the {{w|Andes}} to the banks of the {{w|Nile}}, the {{w|Ganges}}, the {{w|Mekong}}, and the {{w|Irrawaddy}}, new gigantic slums spread like immense laboratory growth media, waiting to host epidemic disease cultures. {{w|Lagos}}, [[Nigeria]], for example, grew from a city of 300,000 in 1950 to over ten million today. But Lagos, writes [[w:Mike Davis (scholar)|Mike Davis]], "is simply the biggest node in the shanty-town corridor of 70 million people that stretches from {{w|Abidjan}} to {{w|Ibadan}}: probably the biggest continuous footprint of urban poverty on earth." Most of the world's new, exploding slums have only the most rudimentary sanitary arrangements, open sewers running along the corridor-like "streets." In the slums of Bombay, there is an estimated one toilet per five hundred inhabitants. Currently, two million children die every year from waste-contaminated water in the world's slums. The enormity of this urban disaster is poorly comprehended in advanced nations like the United States, where the drinking water is still safe and even the poor have flush toilets connected to real sewers. But '''the slums of the world will […] be the breeding ground of the next pandemic''', and chances are, once it is underway, the wealthy nations will not be spared. ** Chapter 5, p. 183. * The entropic mess that our economy has become is the final blowoff of […] industrialism. The destructive practices known as "free-market globalism" were engendered by our run-up to and arrival at the world oil production peak. It was the logical climax of the oil "story." It required the breakdown of all previous constraints […] to maximize the present at the expense of the future and to do so for the benefit of a very few at the expense of the many. […] Free-market globalism became the reigning orthodoxy […], challenged only by cranks wearing nose-rings at the very margins of society. '''The moment that the world recognizes the passing of the oil production peak as a reality, globalism will be dead both in theory and practice.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 185. * '''Globalism was operated by oligarchical corporations on the gigantic scale, made possible by cheap oil. By “oligarchical” I mean that power was vested in small numbers of people running large organizations who were not accountable for their actions to many of the people who were subject to those actions. By “corporation,” I mean a group enterprise given the legal status of a “person,” with “rights,” but in fact devoid of any human qualities of ethics, humility, mercy, duty, or loyalty that would constrain those rights.''' As Wendell Berry put it, “a corporation […] is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance… It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money. ** Chapter 6, p. 186. * The free-market part of the equation referred to the putative benefit of unrestrained economic competition between individuals, and because corporations enjoyed the legal status of persons, they were assumed to be on an equal footing with other persons in a given locality. Thus, Wal-Mart was considered the theoretical equal of Bob the appliance store owner, and if Bob happened to lose in the retail competition because he couldn't order 50,000 coffeemakers at a crack from a factory 12,000 miles away in {{w|Hangzhou}}, and receive a deep discount for being such an important customer, well, it wasn't as though he hadn't been given the chance. ** Chapter 6, p. 187. * Cheap oil had allowed populations to explode in precisely those parts of the world that had had, for millennia, a high infant mortality rate and modest life expectancy. Cheap oil was behind the "green revolution" that increased the food supply in the nonindustrial world. Oil was also behind many of the medicines and preventives that had neutralized […] diseases. Now, suddenly, most of those children […] survived, grew up and produced more children who survived and grew up, and over the course of the twentieth century, the global populations hurtled into extreme numerical overshoot. Populations were, in effect, eating oil, notably in food exports from the United States, where agribusiness had completely taken over from agriculture. Local farmers in Africa, Asia, or South America couldn’t compete with corporate [[w:ADM (company)|Archer Daniels Midland]]’s oil-and-gas-based grain crops and U.S. government subsidies. There was no point in even bringing their hardscrabble crops to market when sacks of cheap American wheat sat on the docks of [[w:Busan|Pusan]] or [[Colombo]]. Farmers in those places felt that they had no choice but to migrate to the city and find some other way to get by. The only comparative advantage that these people possessed was their willingness to work for next to nothing. '''Cheap oil and free-market globalism turned comparative advantage into a new kind of feudalism, with the corporations as the lords and the overabundant locals as the serfs.''' And then, when the comparative advantage of cheap labor […] of one place, […] was superseded by the cheaper labor […] of another place, […] the corporations just moved their operations. ** Chapter 6, p. 187–188. * The idea of comparative advantage works when there is a complex local economy intact in the background of each trading partner’s specialized item of production, with a variety of social roles and occupational niches to support the long-term project of community. But a locality geared to doing only one thing for export is […] a slave system based on the extractive economics of mining. […] One group had all the cheap labor, and another group had all the capital, and for a while, one group made all the things that the other group “consumed.” Thus, comparative advantage became, for a time, a con game strictly for the benefit of large corporations, which ended up enjoying all the advantages while the localities sucked up the costs. ** Chapter 6, p. 188. * The corporations benefiting from this regime often had no physical home of their own, even in their country of origin—and not a few American corporations had moved their official address to [[w:Tax haven|Caribbean pseudo nations]], where the banking and tax laws were more agreeable. The corporations had no allegiance to any […] place or the people of that place, so the destruction they wreaked was as manifest in the ravaged towns of [[Ohio]] and upstate [[New York City|New York]] as in the environmental degradation of [[China]]. America was hardly immune to the consequences of free-market globalism. In effect, the American heartland was overtaken by a new […] corporate colonialism, emanating from our own culture, but no less destructive than the imposition of foreign rule. ** Chapter 6, p. 188–189. * Did Americans sell out their towns, their neighbors, the memory of their ancestors, and the future of their grandchildren because they were helplessly in thrall to the blandishments of a cheap-oil economy? I honestly don’t know, though I tend to view the outcome as the result of many collective bad choices made by the public and its leaders. But were those choices inescapable? Certainly, the process was insidious and played out over several generations. ** Chapter 6, p. 189-190. * There have to be limits. If we project “housing starts” ninety-nine years forward at current rates, there wouldn’t be a single build-able quarter-acre lot left in the world. Not a few economists would rationalize this outcome by declaring that ninety-nine years from now we will have colonies on the [[moon]] or [[Mars]] or under the {{w|Sea of Cortez}}. Or that technology coupled with human ingenuity will solve the problem some other way, […] by genetically reengineering human beings to be one inch tall or booting all our consciousnesses into computer servers where unlimited numbers of virtual people could dwell in unlimited virtual environments of endless cyberspace. ** Chapter 6, p. 192-193. * It is assumed now that human beings, prompted by the market, will employ ingenuity to discover a substitute for oil and gas, once the price starts to ramp up beyond the “affordable” range. This assumption is apt to prove fallacious because […] the laws of thermodynamics state that energy can’t be created out of nothing, only changed from low entropy to high entropy, and that we have already changed the half [or perhaps a fraction] of our [planet's] oil endowment that was easiest to get into dispersed carbon dioxide, which is now ratcheting up global warming and climate change, which might well put the industrial adventure out of business before human ingenuity can come up with a substitute for oil. ** Chapter 6, p. 194. * […] The […] oil-fueled boom that energized the suburban expansion of the 1920s brought turmoil and trouble to the farm economy. Thirty percent of the U.S. population still lived on farms in the 1920s. U.S. farmers had done well during World War I, exporting grain to a Europe that had become a shell-blasted battlefield. By the early 1920s, though, Europeans were able to feed themselves again. Meanwhile, the introduction of the tractor and the mechanization of farming in the United States led quickly to massive overproduction of grain. Unable any longer to pawn off the surplus on Europe, America suffered a crash in grain prices. '''The farm depression, which preceded the financial depression by half a decade, was a self-reinforcing feedback loop. As the market prices of corn and wheat plunged, farmers desperately tried to make up for low prices by producing more, which the domestic markets could not absorb, leading to even greater surpluses and more depressed prices.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 204. * By the mid-1920s, the great wave of immigration suddenly ended. The [[w:Immigration Act of 1924|National Origins Act of 1924]] and other measures set new highly restrictive immigration quotas that cut new admissions to 2 percent of each nationality from the 1890 census. This choked off what had been a constant half-century-long demographic subsidy of ever more customers for U.S. manufacturers. ** Chapter 6, p. 205. * Finance came to be viewed as a productive activity itself rather than a means to promote production. The public was no longer buying stock to invest in enterprises that would pay dividends over time, but merely because one could get rich from buying and selling stocks. As more people bought in, stock prices climbed still higher—a dangerous positive feedback loop. ** Chapter 6, p. 205-206. * [...] The human race living off the "drawdown" of nonrenewable fossil fuel resources is the equivalent of the algae [...] enjoying a temporary rush of nutrients [...] [or a star burning more hydrogen than it could]. ** Chapter 6, p. 208. * The entropy produced in [[World War II]] was much more widespread and profound than that of World War I. In [[World War I]] the action had taken place […] entirely on rural terrain, classic battlefields. In World War II, much of the warfare was urban. The long-range bomber had reached a high stage of refinement in the twenty-plus years between world wars. None of the major capitals had been damaged in World War I. In World War II, hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed in Europe and Asia. Berlin was reduced to gravel; London was badly mutilated; and, of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became radioactive ashtrays. The casualties of World War I had been enormous, astonishing, [and] appalling beyond civilized peoples’ wildest dreams, but the victims had been overwhelmingly soldiers. The casualties in World War II were overwhelmingly civilians and in much greater aggregate numbers. ** Chapter 6, p. 212–213. * '''[[American Dream|American life]], with its twin engines of suburbanization and factory production of consumer goods for the […] world, became so quickly and obviously successful''' that a new consensus formed supporting the value of the dollar and its paper accessories in capital markets, chiefly stocks, and bonds. This is not to say that the securities markets boomed in the 1950s and 1960s —it took until then just to recover the value levels of the pre-1929 crash —but stocks and bonds did regain respectability, [and] legitimacy. Those who had lived through the Great Depression, meaning virtually all the men who had served in the wartime army, had very modest expectations about the role of finance in the postwar economy. In the 1950s and 1960s, Americans bought stocks for the annual dividends they paid, not to flip them for a quick profit. In fact, share prices remained […] very flat during this period. The whole notion of investment was different than it would become later in the twentieth century. In the 1950s and 1960s, stock and bond values were linked much more directly with the successful production of real goods. General Motors derived its profits and paid its dividends on the basis of auto sales, not as today, primarily from leveraging interest rates and other abstract numbers' games removed from the actual making of products. In sum, the public attitude about the role of finance was extremely conservative. Finance was not an “industry” per se, but a set of institutions designed to keep the idea of money and its accessories credible, […] to allow real industries to function. ** Chapter 6, p. 215. * Banking also regained respectability after the calamities of the 1930s. Federal deposit insurance, which had been instituted in the depths of the Great Depression, and only for deposits under $2,500, was raised to $10,000 in 1950, and the middle class was induced to feel confident about keeping its money in banks again. Interest rates remained modest, but so did inflation. The influx of savings made money available in capital markets to invest in new ventures. It was real money derived from work already done, pay already earned, true capital. Before the great orgy of mergers and consolidation that began in the 1970s, retail banking was […] local and community-centered. Bankers made loan decisions based on firsthand knowledge of projects going on in their communities—not, as today, based on bundling and selling clumps of mortgages for generic suburban developments they have never laid eyes on. ** Chapter 6, p. 216. * The rebellion of the [[Hippie|hippie]]s […] based itself on the notion that abundance was a natural entitlement, and one could "drop out" of an insecure, deadly, and frightening industrial culture to live off the fat of the land. It was inescapably a jejune philosophy, fraught with contradictions. For the hippies, the natural order of things included items such as stereo record players, electric guitars, motor vehicles for adventuring around the country, cheap bulk whole grains, and other products of an oil-intensive industrial way of life. '''The hippie platform […] with all its mystical incunabula, rested on the platform of “normal” [[American Dream|American life]] and would have been impossible without it.''' ** Chapter 6, p. 217. * At the start of the [[w:1980s oil glut|oil glut]], a climactic set of economic relations took shape led by Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] (and joined eagerly by President Reagan and his advisors) that would be called “globalism.” It was not so much a new idea as the logical and inevitable result of mature self-organizing systems elaborating themselves under the influence of renewed, immense energy inputs—the ultimate cheap-oil way of doing business in the [supposedly] closed system that is the planet [[Earth]]. It entailed the maximization of short-term profit and the minimization of care for future generations. It was the ultimate generator of entropy. ** Chapter 6, p. 219. * In America, globalism meant the accelerated dismantling of the nation's manufacturing base and its reassignment to other countries where labor was dirt cheap and environmental regulations did not apply. It also meant the ramping up of a “service economy” or, more properly, the myth of a service economy to replace the old manufacturing economy. […] It was […] absurd. It was like the old joke about the village that prospered because the inhabitants were all employed taking in each other’s laundry. In fact, far fewer actual things of value were being created in the service economy. […] It was assumed, for instance, that computers […] boosted productivity. Much of that gain was either illusory or fraught with collateral social and economic losses of other kinds. Companies that reported higher productivity were shedding employees like mad and the entire ethos of work in America was being transformed from one of [the] people having secure careers and permanent positions with reliable companies to one of institutionalized insecurity for […] everyone below top management in a new general atmosphere of Darwinian corporate ruthlessness—under the rubric of "free-market competition." ** Chapter 6, p. 220. * '''What one also saw in the America of the 1980s and 1990s was commoditization and conversion of public goods into private luxuries, the impoverishment of the civic realm, and, to put it bluntly, the rape of the landscape—a vast entropic enterprise that was the culminating phase of suburbia.''' The dirty secret of the American economy in the 1990s was that it was no longer about anything except the creation of suburban sprawl and the furnishing, accessorizing, and financing of it. It resembled the efficiency of cancer. Nothing else really mattered except building suburban houses, trading away the mortgages, selling the multiple cars needed by the inhabitants, upgrading the roads into commercial strip highways with all the necessary shopping infrastructure, and moving vast supplies of merchandise made in China for next to nothing to fill up those houses. The economy of suburban sprawl was a systemic self-organizing response to the availability of inordinately cheap oil with ever-increasing entropy expressed in an ever-increasing variety of manifestations from the destruction of farmland to the decay of the cities, to widespread psychological depression, to the rash of school shooting sprees, to epidemic obesity. Americans didn’t question the validity of the suburban sprawl economy. They accepted it at face value as the obvious logical outcome of their hopes and dreams and defended it viciously against criticism. They steadfastly ignored its salient characteristic: that it had no future either as an economy or as a living arrangement. Each further elaboration of the suburban system made it less likely to survive any change in conditions, most particularly any change in the equations of cheap oil. It wasn't until the traumas of the 1970s that the finance sector mutated from being an adjunct of the industrial economy to becoming an “industry” in its own right helping to “drive” the economy. '''Among the distortions and perversions engendered by the “stagflation” economy was the rise of corporate cannibalism in the form of “creative” mergers and acquisitions, specifically hostile takeovers, the aggressive use of voting stock shares to gain control of companies that did not wish to sell, with the subsequent filleting and sell-off of assets, and discarding of the bones and offal (employee payrolls and obligations, careers, livelihoods, communities).''' ** Chapter 6, p. 222–223. * In the face of the things like the {{w|Dot-com bubble|dot-com meltdown}}, the {{w|LTCM}} scare, the {{w|Enron scandal}}, and other disasters that eroded the notional value of financial paper, homeownership itself was now turned into a magical generator of unearned riches for both borrowers and lenders. It was consistent with the [[Las Vegas]]-ization of the national moral sense, chiefly the increasingly popular belief at every level of American life that it really was possible to get something for nothing. Anyone could see this in the easy public acceptance of gambling as okay and the proliferation of casinos everywhere in the land. Not even the evangelical Christians seemed to mind. There is no such thing as intrinsic value in a house. A huge percentage of the public has now put its net worth into something that […] isn't an investment. Apart from false econometrics of rising house valuations and the leverage that affords for raising cash within the context of the current lending rackets, a house is much more of a consumer product than an investment, especially the kind of houses built in recent decades in America, namely stapled-together boxes made of particle board and plastic cladding that require continual reinvestment in petty cash and labor for upkeep, and will probably not hold their value, even if well cared for, because of poor locational choices. A house on a one-acre lot in a subdivision in {{w|Loudoun County, Virginia}}, thirty-two miles from downtown [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], […] a magnificent thing to behold today, with a soaring lawyer-foyer entrance, a restaurant-grade kitchen, and an inground pool out back. But if there is less gasoline to power up the fleet of cars necessary to service it, and no natural gas to heat the thousand-square-foot cathedral-ceilinged lawyer foyer, then chances are that the house is going to be a liability rather than an asset. ** Chapter 6, p. 229. * The supernaturally low-interest rates provoked an orgy of buying and the orgy of buying bid up the prices of the houses, and as the prices of the houses levitated, the owners entered another new and strange zone of hallucinated wealth accumulation using the latest contrivance: the refinanced mortgage. Re-fi's allowed house owners to use their houses as though they were automatic teller machines. Say a person bought a house in 1999 for $250,000 and the house was appraised in 2003 at $400,000; that person could refinance with a substantial "cash out" privilege, converting the imagined increase of value into disposable income, which could then be used to buy motorboats, home theater plasma TV screens, or trips to Las Vegas. Refinancing prestidigitated an estimated $1.6 trillion for the American economy over a five-year period, and much of that "money" was deployed purchasing "consumer" goods—mostly made outside the United States. From 1999 to 2004 […] a third of all house owners indulged in cash-out re-fi mortgages. […] Behind every extravagant cash extraction lay the belief that at some future date the house would be worth a lot more than the re-fi price and could be readily flipped. ** Chapter 6, p. 231. * After the mid-1990s, there was hardly a technical distinction to be made anymore between high-risk borrowers and everybody else in the casino atmosphere of [North] America[n] society. No one was at risk anymore because in the something-for-nothing economy it was impossible to be a loser. Or so went the herd thinking. […] It is […] likely that the housing bubble will have begun to come to grief. ** Chapter 6, p. 232. * The failure of the [[w:Government-sponsored enterprise|GSE]]s would make the [[w:Savings and loan crisis|S&L fiasco of the 1980s]] look like a bad night of poker. The failure of the GSEs would pose a far graver situation than the [[w:Long-Term Capital Management|LTCM]] flameout. It could easily bring on cascading failures that might jeopardize global finance. This time, the […] public would feel the pain. ** Chapter 6, p. 233. * If the folks who lived along this highway put in gardens to make up for the escalating inadequacies of an industrial farming system starved for fossil fuel “inputs,” would they be able to feed themselves? '''Did any vernacular knowledge survive in a populace conditioned to think that food came from the supermarket? Did they know anything about cabbage loopers, powdery mildew, or anthracnose? Would they be able to prevent catastrophic crop loss? How would they defend their crops against deer, rabbits, [and] woodchucks? Would any of them know how to build a garden wall or even a fence? Where would they get fencing material? Would they have to sit out among the potato hills and the bean rows at night with loaded shotguns? And what would they do for light when they heard something munching out there? Would they know how to keep chicken, sheep, [and] cattle, including breeding and birthing them?''' ** Chapter 7, p. 237. * Because […] systems are self-organizing in the face of circumstance, the big questions are '''how much disorder must we endure as things change, and how hard will we struggle to continue a particular way of life with no future?''' […] The U.S. economy of the decades to come will center on farming, not high-tech, […] “information,” or “services,” or space travel, […] tourism, or finance. All other activities will be secondary to food production, which will require much more human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 239. * [...] [Everything] [...] tend[s] toward diminishing returns and unsustainability, [...] even in the short term. ** Chapter 7, p. 240. * A hundred years ago, just before the introduction of the fossil fuel-based technologies, more than 30 percent of the American population was engaged in farming. Now the figure is 1.6 percent. The issue is not moral, academic, or aesthetic. […] It’s a matter of those ratios being made possible only because cheap oil and automation made up for so much human labor. ** Chapter 7, p. 241. * The energy disruptions of the Long Emergency are going to remind us that the skyscraper was an experimental building form. ** Chapter 7, p. 253. * The lucky suburbanites will be the ones with the forethought to trade in their suburban McHouses for property in the towns and small cities and prepare for a vocational life doing something useful and practical on the small scale. ** Chapter 7, p. 256. * Wal-Mart will not be able to profitably run its “warehouse on wheels” when the price of oil fluctuates chronically. […] We will never again experience the explosion of products, choices, and nonstop marketing that characterized the late twentieth century. The public may look back on the big-box shopping era with deep and mournful nostalgia, but we are apt to discover that happiness is still possible without the extraordinary advertising-driven compulsive materialism of recent decades. '''We will still have commerce. We will have [a] trade. There will be shopping. We will have […] medium of exchange. But we are not going to live in a perpetual blue-light special sale of cornucopian wretched excess.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 257. * Even if we can’t get all the tools and the products we currently enjoy, we will retain a lot of basic knowledge that the people of Jefferson’s day just didn’t have. For instance, we will still understand that infections and many diseases are caused by microorganisms, not bad air, phases of the moon, or evil spells and that knowledge alone confers powerful advantages in daily living. ** Chapter 7, p. 258. * '''Large-scale corporate enterprise has brought humankind much material comfort in two centuries but at the price of fantastic unintended consequences (externalized costs) ranging from the destruction of local communities to climate change. Large-scale corporations will be vulnerable to the collapse of capital formation markets that must accompany the end of the cheap oil fiesta. Corporate enterprise can certainly be reorganized on the small, local community scale, but it will not be the same as {{w|General Motors}}. Corporate enterprise in the Long Emergency may revert to being more public in nature and far less sovereign in power.''' There may be one exception: The most visible […] corporate organization that might survive the Long Emergency may be the church. Whether Catholic or Pentecostal or something new we haven't seen yet; the church won't have to rely on oil supplies. Organized religion doesn't have to traffic in awkward material products, only in beliefs, and it can operate at many scales simultaneously. Because American culture is constitutionally allergic to religious governance, we may have problems if churches are the only large organizations left standing—that is, assuming we still have the same constitution. ** Chapter 7, p. 259. * We should […] conclude that the abandoned big-box structures will not last more than one generation under any circumstances. […] The same thing can be said about malls, strip malls, and chain restaurant buildings. Eventually, they will be the salvage yards and mines of the future. ** Chapter 7, p. 261. * One final thing worth noting on the subject of rail: From 1890 to about 1920, American localities managed to construct hundreds of local and interurban streetcar lines that added up to a magnificent national system (independent of the national heavy rail system). Except for two twenty-mile gaps in New York state, one could ride the trolley lines from [[New England]] clear out to Wisconsin. The story of the conspiracy by General Motors and other companies to destroy the U.S. interurban system is well documented. The salient point, however, is how rapidly the system was created in the first place, and how marvelously well it served the public in the period before the automobile became established. ** Chapter 7, p. 268-269. * It's hard to imagine a more purposeless activity than American-style high school in our time. […] The public questions its basic premises or mode of operation any more than the public questions the economy of suburban sprawl. But [the] high school in our time amounts to little more than daycare for virtual adults in which some learning might incidentally take place, much of it of dubious value. ** Chapter 7, p. 271. * The Southwest also faces increasing friction with adjoining [[Mexico]]. This is not a racist provocation but a description of reality. '''No other first-world country has such an extensive land frontier with a third-world country. The income gap between the United States and Mexico is greater than that between any other two contiguous countries in the world.''' ** Chapter 7, p. 275. * In any case, it is human nature to consider a place “home” if you were born there, or have family there, or have spent some portion of your life there, and people are naturally reluctant to leave home. I daresay that many Americans now living in the Southwest will not be disposed to understand what is really happening—that the carrying capacity of their home region has been suddenly and drastically reduced—and they will hunker down hoping for a return to better times. ** Chapter 7, p. 279. * After air conditioning became widely affordable, southerners hardly went outside anymore, unless it was in a motor vehicle. Anything about southern vernacular architecture that once had been graceful in adapting to the climate was cast aside for the pleasures of air conditioning and cheapness of construction. ** Chapter 7, p. 283. * The Long Emergency will cause unprecedented social and economic dislocation, and the outcome may be a world we would barely recognize. The [...] egalitarian society we knew in the [...] twentieth century may become drastically more hierarchical as large numbers of desperate people place themselves in the service of those who control land, especially following a period of anarchy. Under such harsh conditions, the weaker individuals will sell their allegiance in return for security. ** Chapter 7, p. 286–287. * The gigantic smear of suburbia that runs […] without interruption from north of Boston through Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Washington, and northern Virginia is not going to be a happy place. ** Chapter 7, p. 291. * The circumstances of the Long Emergency will be the opposite of what we currently experience. '''There will be hunger instead of plenty, cold where there was once warmth, effort where there was once leisure, sickness where there was health, and violence where there was peace.''' We will have to adjust our attitudes, values, and ideas to accommodate these new circumstances and we may not recognize the people will soon become or the people we once were. In a world where sheer survival dominates all other concerns, a tragic view of life is apt to reassert itself. This is another way of saying that we will become keenly aware of the limitations of human nature [...]. Life will get much more real. ** Chapter 7, p. 303. * '''I’m aware of having already lived more than a half-century through the greatest fiesta of luxury, comfort, and leisure that the world has ever known.''' I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap airfares, cable TV, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. ** Chapter 7, p. 304. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * [http://www.kunstler.com/ James Howard Kunstler home page] * [http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/ Comment on current events by Jim Kunstler] * [http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/121 TED Talks: James Howard Kunstler dissects suburbia] at [[Wikipedia:TED (conference)|TED]] in 2004 {{DEFAULTSORT:Kunstler, James Howard}} [[Category:Novelists from the United States]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from the United States]] [[Category:Bloggers from the United States]] [[Category:Social critics]] [[Category:Critics from the United States]] [[Category:Orators from the United States]] [[Category:Activists from the United States]] [[Category:American Jews]] [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1948 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[he:ויקיציטוט:תבניות דף/אישים]] 07cbvhtw23in60pay9nq8l7puyby7r3 House (Season 6) 0 138647 3147547 2659770 2022-07-26T17:41:47Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[House (Season 1)|1]] [[House (Season 2)|2]] [[House (Season 3)|3]] [[House (Season 4)|4]] [[House (Season 5)|5]] [[House (Season 6)|6]] [[House (Season 7)|7]] [[House (Season 8)|8]] | [[House (TV series)|Main]] ---- '''''[[w:House (TV series)|House]]''''' (2004–2012), created by David Shore, is about an irreverent, controversial, but successful doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients. === ''[[w:Broken (House)|Broken]]'' [6.01] === <!--DOUBLE LENGTH EPISODE--> :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': ''[to another patient in during a group session]'' Cut your wrists, huh? :'''Dr. Beasley''': Greg, there are certain topics... :'''House''': Oh, I'm sorry.

Working on your next elaborate plan to get out of here. Why don't you put the plan on hold for a few days? See what happens. Just let me do my job. If you prefer private to group, we can do that. Maybe try some SSRIs. If you think nothing's working, you can always go back to your scheming. :'''House''': God, if only you'd said that 2 minutes ago. Before I came up with my new scheme.

Sick of being miserable. :'''Nolan''': So you'd like to be happy. :'''House''': Again with the reflecting. Yes! I'd like to be happy. :'''Nolan''': Being happy is an excellent goal.

They had an armed guard. But I saw this. ''[He holds out a sheet of paper.]'' It's a sign-in sheet from the morgue. Your signature. ''[Chase slowly takes the paper from Foreman.]'' 9:45 this morning. That's right before you guys ran the test. What were you doing there? :'''Chase''': Follow-up on a clinic case. :'''Foreman''': What case? :'''Chase''': You think this is really important... :'''Foreman''': One of the patients in the morgue was a 70-year-old woman who had scleroderma. You and Cameron, if you took that woman's blood, you could have messed up the test results so we treated Dibala for the wrong disease. :'''Chase''': Cameron had nothing to do with it. :'''Foreman''': ''[loudly]'' You son of a bitch. :'''Chase''': He was going to kill the Sitibi. Every last one of them. :'''Foreman''': ''[shouting]'' I don't care what he was going to do. He came to us and put his life in our hands. :'''Chase''': ''[quietly]'' All the good we've done... Every life we've saved... It would have meant nothing... If we just sent him off to kill hundreds of thousands of people. Look at the news. The moderates are taking over.

Doubt we'll ever be treating a genocidal dictator again.

How long has it been since your last confession? :'''Chase''': I killed a man. :'''Priest''': Oh. :'''Chase''': It was the right thing to do. :'''Priest''': Who lives or dies is not your decision to make. :'''Chase''': Sometimes in an operating room it feels like it. I'm a doctor. :'''Priest''': Well then you should know more than anybody that every human life is sacred. :'''Chase''': Why? Tell me what's sacred about a dictator who kills hundreds of thousands of his own people. :'''Priest''': What is sacred about a doctor who kills a patient? :'''Chase''': Is it just the slippery slope you're worried about? Afraid if for forgiving me for killing the worst person on Earth sets a bad precedent? I promise, I won't tell anyone. Just forgive me. :'''Priest''': Saying ten Hail Marys isn't going to do you any good. :'''Chase''': Look, what do I have to do? What does God need me to do? :'''Priest''': You can't have absolution without first taking responsibility. You have to turn yourself in to the police. :'''Chase''': What and go to jail for the rest of my life? What's just about that? I did the right thing! There has to be another way. :'''Priest''': You want absolution? I told you how to get it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': I sent this in to the State Licensing Board. I've signed off on all your hours. :'''House''': Why? :'''Cuddy''': Because it's easier this way. :'''House''': You're uncomfortable with me. :'''Cuddy''': No. Going by the book is pointless. You're gonna learn nothing. :'''House''': Good. I thought it was because of the sexual tension. :'''Cuddy''': There was no sexual tension. :'''House''': There was tension. And it made me feel funny, so... :'''Cuddy''': Here. ''[hands him the letter]'' :'''House''': It's too bad. I was kinda getting into the whole hot for teacher thing. :'''Cuddy''': Are you sure you're okay? :'''House''': Yeah. False alarm... what about us? :'''Cuddy''': We're good, just like this.

I guess it's no big deal since I was only using it as an excuse to come check out [[w:Patty and Selma Bouvier|Patty and Selma]]. :'''Cuddy''': I feel bad. I haven't named your testicles. :'''House''': Word on the street is you set a new personal best for low-cut. :'''Cuddy''': I don't know why you chose to give them names of somebody's aunts. :'''House''': It's a compliment.

So he can't even see right from wrong. Can't even see the sanctity of human life any more. ''[long pause]'' I loved you. And I loved Chase.

Which pays better? :'''Valerie''': I think you're already into one of them. Dr. Hadley made a joke yesterday. She said I sound like you. :'''House''': I'm sure you understand what “joke” means. :'''Valerie''': So you're not just out for yourself? For example, you would never interrupt a sick woman's treatment just because of some personal obsession? :'''House''': Of course I'm self-interested. We all are. We're born that way. The rest of us are born with consciences. :'''Valerie''': Which is something you just sound ecstatic about. :'''House''': I'm not saying it's logical.

You can't accuse me of an opossum attack and underhanded kindness in the same visit. :'''Wilson''': Then I'll come back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': You're turning white. :'''Glenda''': What does that mean? :'''House''': It means he doesn't need football to get a good job anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': You know why you're black? :'''Daryl''': Because God loves me more than he does you? === ''[[w:5 to 9|5 to 9]]'' [6.14] === :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': I was with your boytoy on a stakeout last night. :'''[[w:Lisa Cuddy|Cuddy]]''': You were with Lucas? :'''House''': He needed someone who could diagnose a soft tissue injury from across the street. Apparently he doesn't know any good doctors. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:James Wilson (House)|Wilson]]''': How's it going? :'''Cuddy''': ''[calls Marina on her cell phone as she talks to Wilson]'' Got three hours to save this place from bankruptcy, I just fired one of my best employees, and the woman taking care of my sick child isn't returning my calls. :'''Wilson''': Rachel's gonna be fine, I'm sure whoever he or she is deserved it, and we're not going bankrupt. Are we? :'''Cuddy''': Don't worry. The board will fire me before they allow that to happen. :'''Wilson''': They'd never fire you. :'''Cuddy''': I just told Atlanticnet Insurance I'd terminate unless they gave us a 12% bump. :'''Wilson''': They might fire you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': What do you think I should do about Atlanticnet? :'''Wilson''': You're asking a guy who paid full sticker price for his last car. You ask House? He's a master manipulator who always gets what he wants. :'''Cuddy''': This situation is out of control enough already. House is the last person I want to get involved. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': They should be pressuring other hospitals to be more like us, not trying to make us more like them. It's stupid. :'''House''': Putting your job on the line in an effort to stamp out stupidity isn't? :'''Cuddy''': You would. :'''House''': Probably. But then I also wanted to try to cure cancer by infecting a guy with malaria to win a $50 bet. You really want to be like me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': They're not going to fire you. And you're not going to quit. :'''Cuddy''': Why not? :'''House''': Because you're an idiot. === ''[[w:Private Lives (House)|Private Lives]]'' [6.15] === :'''[[w:James Wilson (House)|Wilson]]''': What are you doing tonight? :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': Masturbating. I'd invite you, but people are already talking. :'''Wilson''': It's pathetic. You divide your nights between porn and the Discovery Channel. :'''House''': Right. Playing Dance Dance Revolution is a much better choice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Eric Foreman|Foreman]]''': You plan on doing any work today? :'''House''': I thought I might do a little light doctoring in the afternoon. <hr width="50%"/> :''[When Wilson invites Chase to go speed dating along with House]'' :'''House''': You brought a date? :'''[[w:Robert Chase|Chase]]''': Wilson seemed to think it was a good idea. :'''Wilson''': You need to dive back into the pool. :'''House''': And he has to swim in ours? You go to a bar, you bring your ugly friends. :'''Chase''': It's not a beauty pageant. :'''House''': Life is a beauty pageant. Little girls who kiss frogs expect them to turn into you. :'''Chase''': Oh, come on. I'm not that good-looking. :'''House''': Yeah, you are. :'''Wilson''': You kind of are. :'''Chase''': So you attribute every relationship I've ever had to the height of my cheekbones? :'''Wilson''': Not the whole relationship. Just the beginning. :'''House''': The rest is your hair. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During speed dating]'' :'''House''': I'm a diagnostician. I find out what's wrong with people, and I fix it. :'''Melodie''': Don't all doctors do that? :'''House''': Yeah, but they can't dance like I can. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': Because you're not ordinary, House. You're way out there on the fringe somewhere. I'm your best friend, and half the time I don't understand you. You're alone. Been alone your whole life. === ''[[w:Black Hole (House)|Black Hole]]'' [6.16] === :'''[[w:Thirteen (House)|Thirteen]]''': We think a severe allergic reaction could be causing systemic breakdown. :'''Artie''': To my son's sperm? :'''[[w:Chris Taub|Taub]]''': Actually, his semen is more likely the problem... Which, I realize is not what you were reacting to... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Abby''': It's a black hole. :'''[[w:Eric Foreman|Foreman]]''': She's hallucinating. :'''Taub''': I certainly hope so. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Texting between Taub and Rachel; then House and Rachel when he steals phone]'' :'''Taub''': Whatcha doing? :'''Rachel''': groceries. :'''Taub''': What r u wearing? :'''Rachel''': U don't want to know. :'''House''': Take off your shirt. :'''Rachel''': R u nuts? :'''House''': Touch yourself. :''[Rachel smiles, contemplates. Back in House's office]'' :'''Taub''': House! It's not funny. I got enough problems already. :'''House''': Trust me, this is gonna help. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Monitor in cog sci lab displays an image of someone swinging a bat]'' :'''Thirteen''': What are you thinking? :'''Abby''': About Nick playing baseball. :'''Taub''': Holy crap! :'''[[w:Robert Chase|Chase]]''': That's amazing. :'''Foreman''': Yeah. Now all we have to do is read her subconscious and hope that it's completely rational and went to med school. :'''Chase''': Does anything get you excited? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeanine''': Can I help you with something? :'''Wilson''': Yes. Uh, I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about this dining table. :'''Jeanine''': It's made of wood, and you eat off it. :'''Wilson''': So you're paid by commission? :'''Jeanine''': It's furniture. Find something you like, let me know, I’ll ring it up. :'''Wilson''': Thank you so much. === ''[[w:Lockdown (House)|Lockdown]]'' [6.17] === :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': I take maybe 1 in 20 cases. A lot of the people I turn down, end up dying. It's really a good argument for there being more than one me when you think about it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Robert Chase|Chase]]''': You had a conversation with House, you came back, informed me I'd been forever poisoned by him, and started packing. :'''[[w:Allison Cameron|Cameron]]''': Interesting how your story leaves out the part where you murdered another human being. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Eric Foreman|Foreman]]''': ''[Looking at complaints filed against House]'' Damn it, they're all named Lisa Cuddy. :'''[[w:Chris Taub|Taub]]''': He's not even here and he's screwing with us. Where's the joy in that? :'''Foreman''': ...You really want to get into his head? :'''Taub''': Yeah, but I decided against stabbing myself in the leg, or getting addicted to pain pills. :'''Foreman''': You can, uh, skip the stabbing. ''[pulls out a bottle of pain pills]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I like being alone. At least, I convince myself that I'm better off that way. And then I met someone at a psychiatric hospital of all places. She changed me. And then she left. We're better off alone. We suffer alone. We die alone. Doesn't matter if you're a model husband, or father of the year. Tomorrow will be the same for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cameron''': I still don't know why I said that. It's not even true. I did love you. Just... not in a way that would have ever worked. :'''Chase''': Why not? :'''Cameron''': Because everything you said is true. I'm a mess. I married a man I knew was dying. So... God knows how screwed up I already was. Him dying messed me up even more. I pushed you out of my life. And I'm-I'm un-unfixable. Not you. === ''[[w:Knight Fall|Knight Fall]]'' [6.18] === :'''[[w:James Wilson (House)|Wilson]]''': People change, House. :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': Sure. They get older, ovaries start drying up, and nice guys like you look attractive again. <hr width="50%"/> : '''[[w:Eric Foreman|Foreman]]''': All it takes is one bad eyeball. : '''[[w:Thirteen (House)|Thirteen]]''': Or testicle, cow brain or my personal favorite, ''[looks at Chase eating]'' pig rectum with a side order of sphincter. : ''[Chase looks back at her and takes a big bite of his sandwich]'' : '''[[w:Chris Taub|Taub]]''': I think they call that breakfast in Australia. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': Hey. I can't believe I'm about to say this. Sam... :'''House''': Told you so. :'''Wilson''': No, she didn't dump me. She wants to get to know you better. :'''House''': Damn it. I never should have let her see me naked. :'''Wilson''': It goes against all my instincts, but I said all right. :'''House''': Why? :'''Wilson''': She thinks I was hiding her from you. :'''House''': You were. :'''Wilson''': I don't want her to know. :'''House''': So you're asking me to condone a relationship based on lies and mistrust. :'''Wilson''': Yeah. :'''House''': When and where? <hr width="50%"/> :'''William''': I thought you were gonna tell her. :'''Thirteen''': It's not my call, but if you ask me, she's waiting for you to. :'''William''': Knights are supposed to be selfless. :'''Thirteen''': Right, they conquered countries and built castles by being selfless. Bravery and loyalty are great qualities, for soldiers. If you want to be king, sometimes you have to be willing to take what's yours. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I guess you've never heard the expression, "gas chromatography machines don't lie." :'''William''': Neither does Miles. He's the best knight I've ever known. It's why he was chosen king. :'''House''': Miles is a jealous idiot. And you're just an idiot. === ''[[w: Open and Shut (House)|Open and Shut]]'' [6.19] === :'''[[w:Chris Taub|Taub]]''': So we flirt, it's fun. :'''[[w:Thirteen (House)|Thirteen]]''': It's dangerous. That woman would totally do you. :'''Taub''': You think? Nothing is going to happen. :'''Thirteen''': All I'm saying is if you want to be on a diet, you might want to stop hanging out by the dessert cart. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Robert Chase|Chase]]''': Not that I could ever do it. I was jealous of House, and Cameron never touched him. :'''Thirteen''': Not counting the emotional fondling. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': So the only time you're not interested in my marriage is after you blow it up? :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': You were the moron who took marital advice from Tila Tequila. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Thirteen''': A woman who likes sex must be sick? :'''House''': Just because everybody in this room wishes that all women were horny all the time, doesn't make it so. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': Seriously? Our patient's dying and we can't move past my sex life? :'''House''': Seriously, you think it'd kill her if we spent 15 seconds mocking you? === ''[[w:The Choice (House)|The Choice]]'' [6.20] === :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': I woke up in the wrong bed this morning. :'''Nurse Jeffrey''': Any bed you're in is the wrong one. :'''House''': That's not what your mama said. Oh! Snap. :'''Nurse Jeffrey''': I'll be going now. To Human Resources. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Thirteen (House)|Thirteen]]''': I'm gonna check out this new lesbian bar tonight. :'''House''': Your life is awesome. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Thirteen''': Yeah, it sucks what he's doing to her too. But it's hardly the same. To be faithful to his wife, our patient has to deny his identity. Taub just needs to... :'''House''': Resist his biological imperative. :'''Thirteen''': It is easier to say no to dessert than to pretend you don't eat. :'''House''': Says someone who's obviously never been on a diet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': If history is written by the victor, how do we find out what really happened? :'''[[w:Robert Chase|Chase]]''': Talk to the loser. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Lisa Cuddy|Cuddy]]''': I just want us to be friends. :'''House''': Funny. That's the last thing I want us to be. === ''[[w:Baggage (House)|Baggage]]'' [6.21] === :'''Nolan''': You're late. :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': You're fat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I'm not stressed... beyond the stress induced by you telling me how stressed I am. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Patients are boring, as people. This one, I'm sure, was no exception. But her situation was interesting. Besides I was still avoiding Wilson. No better way to avoid than leaving the hospital. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Aren't therapists supposed to be nurturing? :'''Nolan''': Nowhere... is that in the manual. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nolan''': Have you gotten any other people angry at you over anything? :'''House''': Well, yeah. That's why I called it an ordinary week. === ''[[w:Help Me (House)|Help Me]]'' [6.22] === :'''[[w:Gregory House|House]]''': Crush syndrome is basically a buildup of potassium. If we remove potassium... :'''[[w:Lisa Cuddy|Cuddy]]''': We're already treating with sodium bicarbonate. :'''House''': But not with glucose and Insulin. Glucose in the Kit. There's gotta be a diabetic here somewhere. :'''Cuddy''': You wanna dose the Insulin here in a non-hospital setting? That is insane! It's not worth it. :'''House''': Really? 'Cause I think I'm the only one here who knows what a leg is worth. And fortunately, you're not the one in charge--he is. And he knows that I'd testify against him if Hanna sues for cutting off a leg without exhausting every option. :'''Cuddy''': ''[to fireman]'' Give us a minute. ''[To House]'' I know you're angry, but please don't put her life at risk just to get back at me. :'''House''': Really? Wow. So this is all about you now. :'''Cuddy''': You took her side against me right after you heard about my engagement. :'''House''': Yeah. That must be it. It's not that you're a pathetic narcissist. :'''Cuddy''': I don't love you. So just... Accept it and move on with your life instead of making everyone miserable. :'''House''': That's great. A life lesson from a middle-aged single mom who's dating a man-child. :'''Cuddy''': Screw you. I'm sick of making excuses for you. I'm sick of other people having to tiptoe around you and make their own lives worse while they try to keep you from collapsing. I'm done. :'''House''': Fantastic. Just stay away from my patient. :'''Cuddy''': What are you clinging to, House? You're gonna to risk her life just to save her leg? Really worked out well for you, didn't it? What do you have in your life, honestly? Tell me. I'm moving on. Wilson is moving on. And you... You've got nothing, House. Nothing. I'm going down there, and I'm gonna convince her to let me cut her leg off. If you have any decency left, you'll just stay out of it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': You asked me how I'd hurt my leg. I had a blood clot, and the muscle was dying. And I had all these doctors telling me I should amputate, and I said no, and they did this... Very risky operation. I almost died. :'''Hanna''': But you saved your leg. :'''House''': I wish I hadn't. They cut out a chunk of muscle about the size of my fist, and they left me with this mutilated, useless thing. I'm in pain... every day. It changed me. Made me a harder person, a worse person. And now... Now I'm alone. You don't want to be like me. You got a husband who loves you. You have friends. You can start a family. You have a life. And this... This is just a leg. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Eric Foreman|Foreman]]''': You can't blame yourself for her death. This wasn't your fault! :'''House''': THAT'S THE POINT!! I did everything right, she died anyway! Why the hell do you think that would make me feel any better?! :'''Foreman''': You shouldn't be alone right now. You're bleeding. :'''House''': I'm gonna give you a task as an employee. Get out of my way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Chris Taub|Taub]]''': ''[sees Thirteen put an envelope on House's desk]'' What's that? :'''[[w:Thirteen (House)|Thirteen]]''': I'm asking for some time off. :'''Taub''': What's wrong? ''[Thirteen doesn't respond]'' Are you okay? :'''Thirteen''': Obviously not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': I ended it. :'''House''': What? :'''Cuddy''': I'm stuck, House. I keep wanting to move forward, I keep wanting to move on, and I can't. I mean, my new house, with my new fiancé, and all I can think about is you. I just need to know if you and I can work. :'''House''': You think I can fix myself? :'''Cuddy''': I don't know. :'''House''': 'Cause I'm the most screwed up person in the world. :'''Cuddy''': I know. I love you. I wish I didn't.

And by ask I mean give me your opinion. :'''Chase''': No. There's one thing, though....will you have sex with me? :'''Thirteen''': ...what? :'''Chase''': Well, this trial means you're leaving right away. I was playing a long game. Deadlines have been moved up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': I really do have to leave. :'''House''': I know. :'''Cuddy''': Then what's the problem? :'''House''': This isn't going to work. :'''Cuddy''': ....that's it? You can't just say that and shut up. :'''House''': It's just a statement of fact, it's not a debatable proposition. :'''Cuddy''': Right...because you can see the future. :'''House''': No, but I can see the past and you're going to remember all the horrible things I've done and try to convince yourself that I've changed and I'm going to start doing those horrible things again because I haven't changed...then you'll realize that I'm an insane choice for someone who has a kid.

You just don't expect it to last. :'''House''': 'Cause it doesn't. :'''Cuddy''': You don't know that. :'''House''': I've done horrible things to you. And I'll do horrible things again, to you. Because of one stupid moment with a dying girl in a pile of rubble, you think I can change. Tell me where I'm wrong. :'''Cuddy''': I don't want you to change. I know you're screwed up. I know you are always going to be screwed up. But you're the most incredible man I've ever known. You are always going to be the most incredible man I have ever known.

I didn't actually hear 'no', but I just was sure that's what she meant. The way she tilted her head and half arched her eyebrow. What do I even care what she meant? She said 'yes', that's all that matters. ....I'm screwing this up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': HR can't find you a new supervisor. :'''House''': How come? :'''Cuddy''': Because you're unsuperviseable, House.

As your boss, you're a jackass. Don't do it again. :'''House''': As your boyfriend, I thank you.

Cameron had much smaller breasts. By which I mean she was smarter. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': So this time I'm gonna put you at ease. It's just you and ol' Doc House.

And that's just off the top of my head. :'''Chase''': Why are you doing this? You trying to make me look bad so you look better… or you don't like her, or you're angry at me? What? :'''Foreman''': We hire someone unqualified, it's just dead weight we'll all be pulling. Me especially. :'''Chase''': You especially why? :'''Foreman''': What do you mean why? Because I'm... :'''Chase''': You're what? You're my boss or something? :'''Foreman''': Something like. :'''Chase''': So that's what it is. You're angry that House gave me the chance to hire someone because you still think you're at a different level to everyone else. That's just pathetic. :'''Foreman''': I am at a different level. :'''Chase''': Which is reflected in what, exactly? Your title? No. Your salary? Not really. Your responsibilities? Hardly. Your attitude? Ah. I think we finally found it. :'''Foreman''': It doesn't change the fact that you made a bad decision because you want to get laid. :'''Chase''': Or the fact that you're courageously picking on Kelly because you're scared to take on House. Congratulations. You're a real leader. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': You know what, I'm back to the Cameron theory. That you hired the dumb version of Cameron so that you could fire her and get revenge. :'''Foreman''': Give her a break. :'''House''': Oh, you've switched sides? Let me guess, Chase represents the dumb version of Thirteen… :'''Foreman''': I realized if we all just keep pressuring Kelly, of course she's gonna get stuff wrong.

''[begins putting on his coat]'' 'Cause unlike you, I don't have a conscience. :'''Wilson''': ''[tries to get past House to the door]'' And unlike you, I'm not having sex with Cuddy, so I actually can leave. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': So what do you guys think of Dr. Cheng? :'''Chase''': Best treatment for a vascular malformation is surgery. And I think your wife thinks you shouldn't think anything of Dr. Cheng. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': ''[to Chase]'' So, what was that shrug? A "Dr.-Cheng-could-work" shrug? Or a "House-is-gonna-crush-you-for-even-considering-her" shrug? ''[Chase shrugs again]'' You suck. :'''Chase''': House is gonna hate anyone we hire, because he doesn't want to hire ''[gesticulates wildly]'' ...anyone. :'''Taub''': So you think I should abstain? Just give the decision back to him? :'''Chase''': Then he'll just mock you for being a wuss. You're screwed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': Hey, hey, hey! You are not going to pin this on me. Rachel needs to be monitored for 24 hours to see that the dime passes. You know, just to make sure she doesn't die. :'''House''': You're telling me to do the right thing ''while climbing out a window''?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': ''[to House]'' If Rachel wakes up, she's gonna tell Cuddy everything. :'''House''': She's two! Last night, she was whining about the giant moose that lives outside her window. === ''[[w:Office Politics (House)|Office Politics]]'' [7.06] === :'''House''': ''[to Cuddy]'' Just because my sausage has been filling your bun doesn't mean you get to decide what flavor chips I nosh on during the day. :'''Cuddy''': Nope, I get to do that because I'm your boss. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Black guy campaigning for the opposition?

Oh, no, wait--the Internet has breasts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': How mad would you be if I fired Masters? :'''Dr. Cuddy''': Very. Unless you had cause. Real cause. Cause that a human being would consider cause. :'''House''': Never mind, then. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Cuddy''': You'll figure something out. The two of you have a combined IQ north of 300. :'''House''': That's also true of five morons. === ''[[w:A Pox on Our House|A Pox on Our House]]'' [7.07] === :'''House''': Why aren't you guys in my office? :'''Foreman''': Why are you in the building?

I'm talking about "him" with a capital "o-m-g." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ramon''': Faith is not a disease. :'''House''': No, of course not. On the other hand, it is communicable, and it kills a lot of people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': You're smiling. Does that mean that you're comfortable with your choice? Or that you're afraid? Because this may be your only hope. :'''Ramon''': You can prescribe a lot of things, but hope isn't one of 'em. :'''House''': Sticking by your convictions and damning the consequences. You two have a lot in common. You're both idiots. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': ''[to Cuddy]'' I've been an idiot. I got this argument stuck in my head. If everybody lies, then trust is not only unfounded and pointless, it's fictional. But trust is not an argument that can be won or lost. Maybe I just have to suspend my cynicism and believe. Maybe it's time I took a leap of faith. ''[pause]'' I'm sorry. I won't lie to you again. === ''[[w:Larger than Life (House)|Larger Than Life]]'' [7.09] === :'''Wilson''': You have to go. Your girlfriend's birthday? It's not even a question. :'''House''': She has one every year. How often do you break up with the love of your life? Okay, for you, it's more often than most, but still... :'''Wilson''': I'm a big boy. I think I'll survive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': Why is your assumption of his guilt more valid than my assumption of his selflessness? :'''House''': Because my assumption is backed up by millions of men, and Taub, who cheated on their wives. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Arlene''': I wish that you would take a second look. I'm tired all the time, and when it's cold I get this weird pain in my shoulder. :'''House''': I have a pain in my leg. You don't hear me complaining... except for just now. :'''Arlene''': How do doctors get this idea you're better than everyone else? :'''House''': Probably all that pulling people back from the brink of death, it's just a guess. :'''Arlene''': My own daughter is a doctor. She makes a hobby of dismissing my concerns. :'''House''': She sounds smart. :'''Arlene''': Did she tell you to say that? :'''House''': I've never met your daughter. :'''Arlene''': That's hard to believe, since you're currently shtupping her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': Jack has an infection that's spread to his mastoid. :'''House''': Great. We'll confirm that in a week, when your secret cultures have sprouted. :'''Masters''': Am I in trouble? :'''House''': I only get mad when you waste my time. Couldn't care less about yours. But let me know when they come back negative, and I'll mock you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': Wilson. :'''House''': It's uh, bowling night. He'll never forgive me if I don't. Oh, screw it. I'm coming. :'''Cuddy''': No, no. no. I am not going to be responsible for that. You drugged the man, you go bowling with him. :'''House''': Well, my chances of sex are considerably lower with Wilson. === ''[[w:Carrot or Stick (House)|Carrot or Stick]]'' [7.10] === :'''Masters''': ''[about Driscoll]'' Military history. In suspiciously good shape for his age. Makes a living bullying kids. I'm thinking… steroids? :'''House''': Fascinating. :'''Masters''': ''[smiles]'' Thanks. We can wean him off... :'''House''': Steroids isn't fascinating, it's moronic. There's no other sign of hormonal imbalance. What's fascinating is that you equate discipline with bullying. Which means that your parents either disciplined you too much or too little. I'm guessing too little. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': ''[about Masters]'' She's brilliant, but new to the real world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': How do you cheat on a test when there's no test? :'''Wilson''': Sorry, not playing. ''[gets up, grabs his lab coat, and leaves his office with House following behind him.]'' Go away, House. ''[puts on his lab coat while walking]'' I am not giving you advice just so you can distort it to suit your own warped world view. :'''House''': But it's been working so well. Cuddy wants to get Rachel into Waldenwood Preschool. The problem is, Rachel's dumber than a paste sandwich. :'''Wilson''': And her not getting in bothers you. You care about Rachel. That was not advice. :'''House''': Cuddy cares about her. Which means When Rachel gets rejected, Cuddy will be upset. And as the boyfriend, I will be expected to be supportive, consoling... :'''Wilson''': Not your strengths, I grant you. Leave it alone. It's just a play date. It'll be fine. :'''House''': Play date being their code for way to weed out the paste sandwiches. They'll hand her puzzles and counting games, and Rachel will just sit there and eat the pieces.

I'm such a sucker! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foreman calls House on his cell phone as House is at a playground]'' :'''Foreman''': House, where are you? :'''House''': Playground. Great place to meet chicks.

Wasn't anything wrong with her physically. :'''Taub''': One down, two members of the threesome to go. You should flip a condom to choose. === ''[[w:Family Practice (House)|Family Practice]]'' [7.11] === :''[House and his team are watching television in the morgue]'' :'''Masters''': ''[whispers]'' Is no one going to tell me.. ''[House shushes her as he watches television]'' Why we're in the morgue? :'''Chase''': House is on the lam from someone. Taub's got his money on Wilson, but I'm pretty sure it's Cuddy. :'''Foreman''': Fool's bet. There's a whole world of angry patients, creditors… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': You bugged the room? :'''House''': I absolutely, without apology, will admit that someone may have allegedly done so. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': Am I a horrible person? I used to win awards for volunteer work. I went to Guatemala and fixed cleft palates. Now we're sitting back letting Chase do our dirty work. :'''Foreman''': We're doing the right thing. Stay out of it. :'''Taub''': I don't know. I don't know about anything anymore. Then this thing with the kid, Rachel's brother... :'''Foreman''': Stay out of that too. A: radiologists — experts, unlike you — said no bleed. B: you yourself said it's probably not. C: you've got no doctor-patient relationship. D: you'll lose your consulting job. E: your ex will kill you. F: I'm running out of alphabet here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': I asked you before why you were tough on me. :'''Arlene''': I wasn't. :'''Cuddy''': You were. And I know why. You see something in me that you didn't see in Julia and you didn't see in you — a type of ambition, a type of brains. That's why you rode me. You made me yearbook editor, summa undergrad, A.O.A. in med school. The only time I ever see light in your eyes is when you hear me talking about my job. The reason you keep coming to see me in the clinic is because you trust me. You trust my medical judgment. So here it is. If you transfer to Princeton General, you'll be treated well, and you'll die. If you stay here with House, you'll be treated badly, but you'll live. I don't care if I have to slash the tires of every ambulance in this bay, Mom. I am not letting you leave my hospital. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Once again, you are unfired. :'''Masters''': Why? :'''House''': You sold me out even though you knew that you were gonna get thrown out of med school. That's just… kind of impressive. :'''Masters''': I keep my job if I stand up to you. I keep it if I don't. I… don't buy it. :'''House''': When Cuddy was protecting me before, she was protecting a doctor. She's now protecting a boyfriend. The hospital's not gonna put up with that for long. So I need you to protect me from doing something Cuddy will regret. === ''[[w:You Must Remember This (House)|You Must Remember This]]'' [7.12] === :'''House''': Picture a door. Unlocked with the key of the mind. Two medical cases, both more fascinating than the last. :'''Masters''': That actually makes no logical sense. :'''House''': This is not a door to logical sense. Also, shut up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': What about a tutor? :'''Taub''': I don't need a tutor. :'''House''': Tutor it is. Choose your poison. Chase, if you prefer pounding Aussie beers and commiserating over the suckiness of divorce. Masters, if you want nervous energy, flash cards, and obnoxious pieces of arcane trivia. Foreman, if you need to be berated by a humorless hard-ass. :'''Taub''': Foreman. :'''House''': Interesting. You must be more worried than you look. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': I'm totally fine. I aced my first pathology boards. :'''Foreman''': Medicine's come a long way in the last hundred years. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': You're nothing but excuses and distractions. :'''Taub''': Well, it's a nice match with your condescension and superiority. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': Why are you giving me these? :'''House''': Because, while they're off running all these tests, you will be submitting the insurance forms. :''' Foreman''': There's an entire department for that. :'''House''': Exactly. The Foreman Department. Of which you are the foreman, Foreman. === ''[[w:Two Stories (House)|Two Stories]]'' [7.13] === :'''House''': Any questions? :'''Alex''': ''[raises his arm]'' What's a vibrator? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sophie''': Isn't that like sexual harassment? :'''House''': Not if you are good-looking. :''[after House tells the class about the lung]'' :'''Sophie''': How is that even possible? :'''House''': That's what she said. ''[after noticing that the class keeps looking at him]'' No, she did literally say that. :'''Masters''': ''[flashback]'' How is that even possible? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Who password protects a computer they keep in a locked desk in a locked office? :'''Masters''': Someone who works with someone who thinks it's okay to break into other people's homes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': I just need some time alone. :'''House''': Because I used your toothbrush?! :'''Cuddy''': And you didn't take out the trash. :'''House''': That's insane. You know that, right? :'''Cuddy''': You do ''whatever you want''. Always. :'''House''': I said I was sorry! I was still half asleep. I wasn't paying attention! :'''Cuddy''': And you're always right. And not only do always think you're right. But you are actually always right, because that's all that matters. :'''House''': That doesn't even make sense. What, you want me to be wrong? :'''Cuddy''': I want you to care about more than just what you want. What you think. You need me, House. And you may even love me, but you don't care about me, and I deserve someone who does. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ms. Fields''': Dr. House, can I ask you a question? Are you insane or just stupid? :'''House''': Is there a third option? :'''Fields''': Actually, I don't think there is. :'''House''': I'm sorry. I just wasn't thinking. I mean, I was, but only about myself, which is apparently the way I am. Usually. Not always. I need to convince someone of that. :'''Fields''': And you think you can do that by getting someone to pull strings to get her daughter into our pre-school. I spoke to Sanford Wells. :'''House''': You can call the police. You can turn me in for lying at the accident. :'''Fields''': I'm sure Mr. Dryden has already taken care of that. :'''House''': Let her daughter in. She's a great kid and Dr. Cuddy is a great mom. They'll fit in perfectly here. :'''Fields''': And how exactly does admitting her daughter prove how unselfish you are? It seems like you're still doing it to help yourself, not anyone else. :'''House''': I don't know. I just know that I need to do something. I need her in my life. Do you know what it's like to actually need someone? :'''Fields''': Yes. I do. But I also know what it's like to have responsibilities. Maybe it's time you grew up. === ''[[w:Recession Proof (House)|Recession Proof]]'' [7.14] === :'''Cuddy''': House! I assume you're avoiding me because of the charity gala. :'''House''': This Friday? It's completely slipped my mind. :'''Cuddy''': So you'll be there? :'''House''': No, I meant it slipped my mind to tell you I'm not going. :'''Cuddy''': What do you think it'll look like if you don't show up when I get an award? :'''House''': Like I don't give a crap about awards, charities, what it looks like. :'''Cuddy''': If you ever want… :'''House''': I RSVPed two days ago. What, you think I'm a complete ass? :'''Cuddy''': If you were already going, why did you… :'''House''': Foreplay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': Are you wearing my tie? :'''Taub''': Oh, I saw it in your closet, and it happened to match my shirt. :'''Foreman''': Why were you in my closet? :'''Taub''': Looking for a tie. What's the big deal? :'''House''': Obviously, he wants you out of the closet for some reason. I suspect marriage, but I'm liberal that way. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': Looking forward to Friday night? :'''Cuddy''': Yes and no. Yes, because it is a great honor, and no because… Well, you know the because. :'''Wilson''': You think House is going to embarrass you. :'''Cuddy''': Well, not intentionally. ''[glances at Wilson]'' Maybe intentionally. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': Do you even like me? :'''Chase''': Why? :'''Masters''': I put making friends and having relationships on hold so I could concentrate on studying. I always thought there'll be plenty of time for that in the future. But… now when I do want them… I can't even get a date to this charity event. If I can't establish relationships in my personal life, how will I ever do it with a patient? :'''Chase''': Be honest with her. But if it comes down to a choice between the brutal truth and hope: side with hope. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': ''[knocks repeatedly on Cuddy's door until she opens it]'' We really, really need to talk. :'''Cuddy''': You're drunk and you screwed up big time. Go home! ''[House walks in, Cuddy closes the door]'' You completely disappeared on me! You wouldn't even answer your cell phone. :'''House''': You're going to want to sit down for this. ''[motions toward the sofa]'' Go ahead. Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. I have made a decision. Being happy and being in love with you makes me a crappy doctor. :'''Cuddy''': Shut up. You're too drunk to end this relationship. :'''House''': I am drunk, and I'm also right. You have made me a worse doctor, and people are going to die because of that. ''[long pause]'' And you are totally worth it. If I had to choose between saving everyone or loving you and being happy, I choose you. I choose being happy with you. I will always choose you. ''[sits in the sofa, lays his head down in Cuddy's lap]'' === ''[[w:Bombshells (House)|Bombshells]]'' [7.15] === :'''Cuddy''': Did you actually wake up early and hide under the bed just to scare the crap outta me? :'''House''': Set an alarm and everything. :'''Cuddy''': It's like dating a ten-year-old. :'''House''': God, I hope not. <hr width="50%"/> :''[In a sitcom style similar to Two and a Half Men.

The audience cheers wildly.]'' :'''House''': I don't know why you're here, but I didn't do it. :'''Wilson:''' What's the problem, officer? :'''Officer''': She was shoplifting down at the mall. Are either of you this girl's father? :'''House''': Nope! But since her mom died, she's my favorite tax write-off. ''[walks over to the door and sees the officer out]'' Officer, you have my word it won't happen again, 'cause next time she won't get caught. :''[House slams the door shut behind the officer, then turns and high-fives Rachel.

'Cause I can do that. :'''Cuddy''': As a Jew, I'm gonna have to decline that offer. :'''Chase''': Don't know what you're missing. St. Paul was really on his game. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': What is it with you and this kid? :'''Taub''': He's doggy-paddling in a sea of misery. :'''Foreman''': How far did you have to reach back for that memory? Last night? Sometimes I hear you in the living room watching TV at 3:00 a.m. :'''Taub''': That's when classic Doctor Who comes on the BBC. :'''Foreman''': Yeah, if only they had some device that allowed you to record them and watch them another time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': You took Vicodin. When you came to my hospital room that night, you were stoned. :'''House''': How did you know? :'''Cuddy''': How did I not know? How did I make myself forget for months that you're an addict? My sub-conscious was trying to tell me you could never get through this without drugs. :'''House''': It was a one time thing. :'''Cuddy''': It's not about the pills, House. It's about what they mean. :'''House''': I was scared because I thought my girlfriend might die. :'''Cuddy''': No. You don't take Vicodin because you're scared. You take it so you won't feel pain. Everything you've ever done is to avoid pain; drugs, sarcasm, keeping everybody at arm's length so no one can hurt you. :'''House''': As opposed to everyone else in the world who goes looking for pain like it's buried treasure? :'''Cuddy''': Pain happens when you care. You can't love someone without making yourself open to their problems, their fears, and you're not willing to do that. :'''House''': I came -- I came to be with you. :'''Cuddy''': You weren't with me. Not really. :'''House''': I wanted to be. :'''Cuddy''': That's not enough. :'''House''': I can do better. :'''Cuddy''': I don't think you can. You'll choose yourself over everybody else over and over again because that's just who you are. ''[strokes House's face]'' I'm sorry. :'''House''': No, no, no. Don't don't. :'''Cuddy''': I thought I could do this. :'''House''': Don't, don't.

He's obviously a very blessed specimen, so from an evolutionary point of view, he'd produce healthy offspring, so my prefrontal cortex is telling me I should have sex with him. :'''Taub''': Oh. Is that all? :'''Masters''': Yes. My rational brain knows he's a hillbilly and an idiot. :'''Taub''': And yet somehow your rational brain is losing the argument, which is interesting. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': We are gonna talk about this, and we're gonna deal with this. :'''House''': So I have no choice. Fine. Unless... unless... yes, I do. I do have legs. I see you didn't factor those into your brilliant plan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': ''[about House]'' He needs you. :'''Cuddy''': I love him.

So why don't you cut the crap and tell me your real name. :'''Danny''': No. :'''House''': Hiding your identity… Well, either you're a criminal or a superhero. :'''Danny''': I'm not a criminal. :'''House''': Awesome. What color is my underwear? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': ''[about House]'' He's gone too far. He's taking up six handicapped spaces with a monster truck. :'''Cuddy''': It's only four, and he's gonna get rid of it after the wedding. :'''Wilson''': And the chapel… He's turned the chapel into his own personal catering hall. :'''Cuddy''': Who cares? Other than a janitor sleeping off a bender, he's the first person to use it in two weeks. :'''Wilson''': Appeasement is never the answer in the face of naked aggression. It won't be long before his tanks are rolling down your Champs-Elysees. :'''Cuddy''': I know what House is doing. You, on the other hand… why do you care? He isn't hurting anyone. :'''Wilson''': ''[walks to the chair in front of Cuddy's desk and sits down with his arms crossed over his chest]'' You're the first boss he's ever had who could handle him. Before you, he was either fired or buried under a mountain of malpractice suits. He needs someone to say no. He needs someone he'll listen to, when they say no. If you really care about House, you'll stop feeling sorry for him and get out there and start kicking him where he needs kicking. === ''[[w:The Dig (House)|The Dig]]'' [7.18] === :'''Thirteen''': The interrogation thing is getting annoying. :'''House''': Studies have shown that un-annoying interrogation is 50% less effective. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Junior year high school, you placed fourth in the West Virginia all-county science fair. Your project? Clean combustion. :'''Thirteen''': Yeah. I also wore a training bra. Things have changed. :'''House''': ''[under his breath]'' Not that much. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': You're mad. :'''Foreman''': No. Actually, I'm impressed. Messing around on a 22-year-old hottie with your wife on my sofa. You're a full-throttle head case. :'''Taub''': I was doing you a solid with the sofa. Rachel wanted to do it in your bed. You've got the memory foam top. :'''Foreman''': Let's make this really simple: If I own it, I don't want you doing it on it. :'''Taub''': You might want to get rid of your kitchen table. Look, I'm sorry.. ''[slightly laughing]'' but it was worth it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': Sounded a lot like… Thirteen. :'''House''': It's a Thirteen tribute band with their new song, "I've got a better theory than Masters." <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': ''[to Thirteen]'' I'll kill you. When the time comes, if you want me to. I'll do it now if you like. ''[looking behind him.]'' I've got a baseball bat in the back. === ''[[w:Last Temptation (House)|Last Temptation]]'' [7.19] === :'''Foreman''': I'm glad you're gonna be sticking around after today. :'''Masters''': Really? You want me to stay? :'''Foreman''': It's good to add a different perspective to the department. Someone who still remembers there are rules other than House's. :'''Masters''': If I don't play by House's rules, he won't let me in. :'''Foreman''': Find a way around them. :'''Masters''': I'd have to lie to him, which is still lying. :'''Thirteen''': Lying about a lie, that's practically telling the truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': Why are you lying about rehab? :'''Thirteen''': Because the real reason I was gone is not something I want to share. :'''Masters''': Couldn't you just say that? Should be enough for Foreman and the others. :'''Thirteen''': How long have you worked here? House's people have personalities that range from nosy to, "pardon me while I do this cavity search." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': She could die. :'''House''': Pretty sure the law of the land states that everyone has the right to be an idiot. I think it's the Second Amendment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': Isn't that House's chicken? :'''Wilson''': Disgusting beasts. I don't know why I ever agreed to this bet. :'''Masters''': So call it off. :'''Wilson''': And lose $20? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Masters''': I broke the rules because I believed I was right. :'''House''': You were right. :'''Masters''': Then why don't I feel good or satisfied? Instead, I just feel like throwing up. :'''House''': And you're following me to ask how I break the rules and maintain my rosy demeanor. :'''Masters''': I didn't do it to be happy. I just thought I would be. :'''House''': You can't always get what you want. === ''[[w:Changes (House)|Changes]]'' [7.20] === :'''Taub''': Sure, some people will screw up anything, but some won't. That kind of cash, he has a chance to turn a miserable life around. :'''House''': Miserable stays miserable. Happy doesn't buy lottery tickets in the first place. :'''Thirteen''': Our level of happiness is set. It's in our DNA. No cash payout's gonna change that. :'''House''': It's like there's two of me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': My mother's lawyer called. She's threatening to sue the hospital over our mistreatment of her. Says it slowed her recovery. :'''House''': You know, I was just thinking how much I want a relationship with no sex, but where I still have to deal with your mother. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': No clinic hours for the next quarter. :'''House''': And three parking spots, next to each other, so I can park diagonally. And three pairs of your underwear. I'm thinking of taking up sailing. :'''Cuddy''': Forget it. Treat your patient, don't treat your patient. Come to the meeting, don't come to the meeting. I'm done playing your game. :'''House''': You realize the game is automatically over when the loser loses, right? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Down on the patient's romance because your own lifespan is shorter than dinner and a movie? :'''Thirteen''': You're the one who said miserable stays miserable. :'''House''': You keep saying it. Several times a day. :'''Thirteen''': I love being back, having every theory you and I share used as proof of my own personal damage. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': It'll end horribly. :'''Thirteen''': Not for him. She may take all his money, and he may be a naive idiot but he'll always be hopeful, so he'll always be happy. :'''House''': You lost your mother. You euthanized your brother. You got the life expectancy of a pretty good sitcom. If you can convince yourself that you'd be miserable no matter what, even without all that stuff, then maybe you don't have to hate the universe, for dumping a giant turd on you. Fatalism is your survival mechanism. :'''Thirteen''': And you? Dumped by everyone you've ever loved. Rehab was a bust. Your leg feels like someone took a giant bite out of it. We are who we are. Lotteries are stupid. === ''[[w:The Fix (House)|The Fix]]'' [7.21] === :'''Thirteen''': Karma's a bitch. :'''Foreman''': You think her seizures are the result of bad karma? :'''Thirteen''': I think if you spend your days designing ever more effective ways to blow people up, stuff's bound to come back to you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': If he's ignoring you, it's because he trusts you. :'''Foreman''': No, it's not. :'''Wilson''': No, it's not, but he does. :'''Foreman''': Thanks. I feel warm inside. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Terry''': What the hell? :'''House''': Don't worry. It's just epinephrine. :'''Terry''': Ep... is it dangerous? :'''House''': In the wrong hands, very. So... yeah, sort of. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': My theory is that he's only avoiding us because he really wants to avoid you. :'''Cuddy''': ''[[w:Ma Nishtana|Ma nishtana]]''. :''[Foreman looks blank]'' :'''Cuddy''': You made it through med school without ever attending a ''[[w:Passover Seder|seder]]''? It means, "Why is this night different from all other nights?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Leg hurts. Would you mind getting me a coffee? :'''Dr. Riggin''': How does coffee help your leg? :'''House''': It will prevent me from walking to get the coffee. :'''Riggin''': Right. === ''[[w:After Hours (House)|After Hours]]'' [7.22] === :'''Chase''': You killed your own brother? :'''Thirteen''': Yes. It was awful and devastating, but it wasn't murder. He was sick and he wanted to die, and I promised I would help. Now please stop pacing and help me find this thing. :'''Chase''': Have you talked to anybody about it? I mean, are you okay? :'''Thirteen''': No, I may have an aortic arch aneurysm. Oh, wait, that's her. Either help me or leave. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Rachel is watching an adult pirate cartoon]'' :'''Cuddy''': What are you watching? :'''Rachel''': TV, you bloody scallywag. ''[Cuddy turns off the TV]'' ''[whining]'' Mo-om! <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': There are no cars coming. Just go. :'''Rachel''': The light is red, ye bloody scallywag. :'''Cuddy''': Stop with the pirate talk. :'''House''': If you don't want Brownbeard to end up with two wooden legs, better get your ma to move this ship, you mangy bilge rat. :'''Cuddy''': Of course... you showed her that filthy cartoon. What kind of idiot lets a three-year-old watch that? :'''House''': If you want to lecture me on my poor judgment, there seems to be more relevant examples. <hr width="50%"/> :''[House wakes up from surgery]'' :'''House''': What are you doing here? :'''Wilson''': You hoping for someone else? :'''House''': Hot nurse, candy striper… Someone who doesn't speak English. Someone who doesn't speak judgmental. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': You're an ass. :'''House''': What, for trying to walk on a freshly mangled leg? Performing surgery on myself? For thinking I could solve my emotional problems with rat medicine? If you're gonna nag, at least have the decency to be specific. === ''[[W:Moving On (House)|Moving On]]'' [7.23] === :'''Cuddy''': You stood me up. :'''House''': Sorry. Should have scheduled my patient's internal bleeding for Thursday. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': You want us to waste a bed on her? :'''House''': You took an oath… an oath to be cool. At least that was the one I mumbled under my breath while everyone else was doing the boring one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': You're forging my name on prescriptions again. :'''House''': No. What you just said implies that I stopped at some point. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': You think I have unresolved issues and you are the unresolved issues. :'''Cuddy''': Yes. But it's... I think it's more than that. It's your life, your choices. :'''House''': I did it to fix my life. No, wait, no, I did it because I'm a deeply unhappy person. No, no, I did it to get sympathy from you. I did it to piss you off. I did it because I'm not over you, or I was over you, and I was moving on. I did it because I want to know what it's like not to be in pain. I did it because I want to feel more pain. Whatever the reason, it was a bad reason and a bad idea. That's all that matters. Good lunch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cuddy''': House… talk to me! :'''House''': I already did. :'''Cuddy''': ''[gets in front of House, trying to stop him]'' No, you just parroted back what Wilson and I've been saying to you the last few days. :'''House''': Get out of my way. :'''Cuddy''': No. ''[She looks down and touches his leg.]'' Oh, you pulled a stitch. House, please just talk to me. :''[Cuddy takes House's arms, trying to turn him to face her and House pushes Cuddy against a wall and they are staring face to face]'' :'''House''': ''[loudly]'' You want to know how I feel? ''[two deep breaths then, quietly]'' I feel hurt. :''[Cuddy takes House's hands from her upper arms and holds them.]'' :'''Cuddy''': I know. I'm sorry.

Cause it's going to end badly. Again. Remember we talked about this. At least I talked, and you stared at me eerily. I think it was eerily. "Eerily" felt like the best-case scenario. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mendelson''': Why you keep helping him out? :'''House''': Yeah, why would I wanna make sure that my homicidal cellmate is taking the right anti-psychotics? <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Jessica Adams|Dr. Jessica Adams]]''': I checked your file. You didn't have a bad lawyer. You had no lawyer. You took the first deal they offered because you wanted to punish yourself. You think getting beat up, saving this one guy is going to wipe your slate clean? :'''House''': No. :'''Adams''': Then why are you doing this? :'''House''': Because I have a gift. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': That look of shock is elitist and offensive. Doctors can be degenerates too. This is America. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Before I went to Med School. Thought about getting a PHD in Physics. You ever hear of dark matter? The galaxies rotate. Motion of the universe. It means there's six times more stuff than we can detect. But it's theorized. No one's ever proved it exists. :'''Adams''': So uh, so you want to research it? Why? :'''House''': It's the greatest mystery there is. Theory of everything. :'''Adams''': And completely divorced from humanity. :'''House''': Me and humanity, we got married too young. === ''[[W:Transplant (House)|Transplant]]'' [8.02] === :'''House''': Nice painting. Blues and greens. Calming, but with a hint of nurturing. Totally offsets the stench of suffering and death. Where's my patient? We need to not talk. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Eric Foreman|Dr. Eric Foreman]]''': Get this straight. You break the law, you go back to jail. Scam extra Vicodin, back to jail. Flout my authority, make the hospital look bad, back to jail. I own you. :'''House''': Yassa, massa. :'''Foreman''': See, that would be an example. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Okay, I'll go first. My boss dumped me, and yours what? Called you his china doll? Joked about what a crappy deal you got for Manhattan? Assumed that you had a huge penis? I have no idea what flavor you are, so I thought I'd just cover the spread. :'''[[w:Chi Park|Dr. Chi Park]]''': My mom's Filipino, dad's Korean, and my boss grabbed my behind. :'''House''': Behind what? Oh, yeah, your... grabbed your tushy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Weathers''': I told you, my son didn't do cocaine. :'''House''': Druggies are not known for their honesty. Trust me on this one. ''[pops Vicodin]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': But just do whatever you have to do to get over this. Punch me in the face, kick me in the nuts. Either or. Both seems excessive. === ''[[W:Charity Case|Charity Case]]'' [8.03] === :'''Adams''': You said we were meeting for coffee. :'''House''': Well, when someone asks you if you want coffee, they obviously don't just mean coffee. Wait, did you think I was referring to sex? ''[to Park]'' Would you shut the blinds on the way out? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': In the meantime, there's no way a do-gooder like you isn't volunteering all over town. Ladling kittens, spaying soup. :'''Adams''': There is a free clinic in Trenton. :'''House''': Well, think of it as today's free clinic, only with fewer bums with herpes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': House, I worked for you for 7 years. I know how you operate. So when I see symptoms magically show up right when you need them... :'''House''': And I was your boss for 7 years, and I know what a suspicious, micromanaging hardass you are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I'm not joking. You're fired. Don't come in tomorrow. :'''[[w:Thirteen (House)|Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley]]''': House... :'''House''': I can work with people who've got nowhere else to go. People who've got something to prove. People who just get off on weird cases. but I can't work with someone who is here so she doesn't have to feel bad. :'''Thirteen''': You're trying to save me. :'''House''': Yes. I think that little of you and that much of me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Park''': You do know I punched the last person that pissed me off? :'''Adams''': ''[while rolling her eyes and walking away]'' Was it Santa? === ''[[W:Risky Business (House)|Risky Business]]'' [8.04]=== :'''Park''': Dr. Wilson, I need your advice. Um, I bet House $100 that I wouldn't get fired after my disciplinary hearing. Ever since then he's been acting like he's actually trying to get me fired. :'''[[w:James Wilson (House)|Dr. James Wilson]]''': That's because he is actually trying to get you fired. :'''Park''': Does he hate me? :'''Wilson''': I'm not sure that's relevant to the equation. :'''Park''': So it's really over $100. :'''Wilson''': I'm not sure the amount is relevant. He's fighting for his honor. :'''Park''': He'll ruin my career! :'''Wilson''': I'm not sure that's... :'''Park''': What if I bet him $200 I WILL get fired? :'''Wilson''': He sees competing bets from the same person a disgrace to the game. He'll be even more motivated to beat you. :'''Park''': If you were me, what would you do? :'''Wilson''': You have to give him something he values more than honor. And you should update your resume. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Loyalty to real estate is stupid, because loyalty is stupid. :'''Park''': First patriotism, now loyalty. You hate ice cream, too? :'''House''': French vanilla. To willfully identify yourself as something is a perversion of self-expression. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': I could do $5,000. :'''House''': Really? No backsies? :'''Adams''': If.... you double your clinic hours. 6 a week. I've seen how you disrespect those patients. :'''House''': So you want twice as many of them disrespected? :'''Adams''': Spend more hours with them, you'll treat them more humanely. :'''House''': And this time a land war in Russia will be a good idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': Thad Barton? We only help rich white guys? :'''House''': I am an equal opportunity exploiter. I only help those who can help myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I claim this burger in the name of Queen Isabella of Spain. :'''Adams''': I'll go check on the patient. ''[she gets up and House is about to bite down on her burger]'' I have hepatitis C. :'''Park''': ''[as House is about to bite down on her burger instead]'' She got it from me. === ''[[W:The Confession (House)|The Confession]]'' [8.05] === :'''Foreman''': As the new Dean of Medicine, I'd like to personally welcome our new employees, and ask why the Hell did you want to come back? :'''[[w:Robert Chase|Dr. Robert Chase]]''': Tired of surfing. :'''Foreman''': He hasn't changed. :'''Chase''': And neither has the job, right? We still get to do crazy crap. :'''[[w:Chris Taub|Dr. Chris Taub]]''': Save people's lives instead of just their noses. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Park''': But it could end up causing another cardiac arrest. :'''House''': Hopefully, and we'll know what set it off. :'''Chase''': What he means is, it's better to do it here where we can revive him than have it happen somewhere else. :'''House''': The prodigal son has returned. ''[hugs Chase] '' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': If people told nothing but the truth, the world would probably burn down overnight. :'''Adams''': Some people think it's burning now. Maybe if everybody didn't lie... :'''House''': Aw, that is cute. I'm talking about your breasts. They always get perky when you're being painfully earnest. Truth. It's uncomfortable, isn't it? More truth... I only noticed because Chase was staring at them. He'd never admit it, because he doesn't want to offend you. Same reason he'd never tell you that he's thought about having sex with you. Although, to be fair, every man you've ever met has thought about having sex with you. They'll lie, because if you knew, you probably wouldn't want to have sex with them. And that's just some of the lies from the last minute. And here's a bigger one: you already know this, but you pretend you don't because it makes you feel civilized. Most people find it easier to ignore the truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Park''': I'm sorry. I thought I was here to treat the patients, not entertain you. :'''House''': Would it hurt to do both? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': What's House up to? He hasn't asked me for anything. He's been incredibly well behaved. He's doing his clinic hours. :'''Wilson''': That ''is'' a sign of concern. === ''[[W:Parents (House)|Parents]]'' [8.06]=== :'''House''': Following your heart is easy. Following your brain is tough. Especially after years of following that much smaller third organ. That's why all parents screw up all children. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Screwed up is your best case. Bouncing between a philandering workaholic dad and an embittered, sexually betrayed mom, it's gonna lead to screwed-up squared. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Monroe''': I need insulin. I know it. :'''House''': Much as I'd like to kill you by dangerously lowering your blood sugar, murder violates my parole. :'''Monroe''': ''[pointing to the printout of his test results]'' That bloodwork is week's old. Test me again. :'''House''': I am the test. The test is negative. The test also thinks you're a giant pain in the ass. That last insult was your cue to leave. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': You know how I got interested in medicine? When my mother drank, she couldn't handle me, so she locked me in my father's study. Only so many hours you can cry and bang on the door before you give up, find something to read. We all have family dysfunction. That's why we're successful. To fill that hole. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': ''[to Adams]'' You claim you're not screwed up. You may even believe it. But House doesn't and I don't, so you can wait till he camps out on your parents' lawn or you can admit you don't live on some higher plane and thank me later. === ''[[W:Dead & Buried (House)|Dead & Buried]]'' [8.07] === :'''House''': You're right. :'''Wilson''': You don't even know what I said. :'''House''': That is ridiculous. Blah blah blah blah blah deaf ears. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Absolutely essential information. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': Which means it's too late for me to back down. It's no longer my choice. It's just me - telling me he can get away with anything... I have to send him to prison. :'''Wilson''': Your job is to keep this machine running. It's your choice to make House a useful tool or a monkey wrench. Cuddy's way didn't fail because she didn't try to control House, she managed him. She knew better than anybody what a tool he could be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': 14 year old girl - intermittent attacks. :'''House''': 4 year old boy - consistently at death's door. :''[Foreman starts to walk away]'' :'''Adams''': This patient died 5 years ago. :''[Foreman returns and puts the file on House's desk]'' :'''House''': I didn't say which side of the door he was on. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I need to DDX a patient with you. :'''Wilson''': I thought you had a team for that. :'''House''': According to Foreman, they're only for DDXing people who are still alive. :'''Wilson''': ...You have a dead patient? :'''House''': Bigotry is boring when we add modifiers. I don't see creed, color, pulse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': You're an addict. And I'm an idiot for thinking your addictions were limited to pills, anti-social behavior and sarcasm. :'''House''': ''[belches]'' Sorry Vicodin repeating on me. :'''Wilson''': You're also addicted to puzzles. You show all the classic behaviors: lying, neglecting responsibilities, and you can't stop - no matter how devastating the consequences. === ''[[W:Perils of Paranoia|Perils of Paranoia]]'' [8.08] === :'''Adams''': Am I weird? :'''Chase''': Yeah, but you're hot so it's easier to put up with. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': If anarchy breaks out, I plan to do what my ancestors have done throughout the ages: run. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': He's not in prison; It's kinda hard to gas a guy unless you can seal him in a room first. :'''House''': Which is why [[w:List of Pokémon (441–493)#Arceus|Arceus]] created the universe with three states of matter, and three hundred solid and liquid poisons that could cause these symptoms. :'''Taub''': Arceus? :'''House''': ''[takes a sip of tea]'' Look it up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': Impressive. :'''House''': The wiliness with which Foreman ruled out anxiety or his complete wiliness-less-ness before he met me? :'''Taub''': The fact that you managed to smear jelly on almost every page. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': Wait, why would you think his wife poisoned him? :'''House''': Because dangerous people don't break into your home, they live in it. And although his kids are old enough to want Daddy dead, they're still too young to do anything about it. :'''Taub''': Must be such a pleasure to live in your head. :'''House''': You're right. Kids might be precocious. === ''[[W:Better Half (House)|Better Half]]'' [8.09] === :'''Chase''': Taub's daughter is sick. :'''House''': Isn't that the point of having a spare? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': With great power comes great micromanaging. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': Sex releases oxytocin. It's the neurochemical basis for bonding. :'''House''': And that's why men always marry their right hands. :'''Adams''': It's different for girls. :'''Park''': No it's not. I've tapped over 30 guys and never wanted to see most of them again. ''[everyone stares]'' I live next to a Jewish frat. :'''House''': We are veering wildly off track. Please continue. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': Two people are happy, and your natural impulse is to destroy it. :'''House''': How do you know she's happy? Did she tell you? :'''Wilson''': No, chirping birds flew out of her butt carrying a banner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Better to have schtupped and lost then never to have schtupped at all. === ''[[W:Runaways (House)|Runaways]]'' [8.10] === :'''House''': How I miss the sweet smell of stickin' it to the man. :'''Wilson''': Adams is right. You're protecting this girl. :'''House''': No, I was wrong. It's the stench of moralizing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ellen''': You must be Dr. House. :'''House''': I save my appearances for when parents are on the brink of doing something incredibly stupid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': As much as I'd like to take your word for it, I have no interest in taking your word for it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I'd turn around and shoot you, but apparently I'd miss. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': Do you think people can change? :'''Chase''': No. But I don't think that's gonna change your opinion, because... people don't change. === ''[[W:Nobody's Fault (House)|Nobody's Fault]]'' [8.11] === :'''Walter Cofield''': Let the record show that we are officially convening a disciplinary hearing regarding the events of February 3, 2012 in patient room 209. Dr. House, this recording will be transcribed and published along with all supporting documentation and rulings. Do you have any questions before we get started? :'''House''': Yeah. Who the hell are you? :'''Cofield''': I'm Walter Cofield, Chief of Neurology, Mercy Hospital. I'll be deciding your fate today. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cofield''': What are you doing? :'''House''': Taking my Vic-amins. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym. Those who can't move their arms or legs teach us to laugh at others. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': House… is brilliant. I give him the benefit of the doubt most of the time because I've seen what he can do. :'''Cofield''': Getting House out of prison is the biggest decision you've made as Dean of Medicine, right? And if he's suspended as a result of this hearing, he violates his parole and he goes back. And that probably leaves you as former Dean of Medicine. :'''Foreman''': I suppose so. :'''Cofield''': You didn't choose me to oversee this because you thought I could be objective. You chose me because you thought I'd have your back and I'd think twice about making a decision that would get you fired. Eric. I'm sorry. But if your get-House-out-of-jail-free experiment blows up in your face, it's not my job to get you out of it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cofield''': ''[to Chase]'' You brazenly defied your boss. Now that happened either because Dr. House has established that that's okay in his world, or his prank war distracted you, or House makes medicine a game, and you just wanted to beat him. Whatever the reason, it boils down to the fact that you may never walk again because House created an atmosphere that promotes recklessness. === ''[[W:Chase (House episode)|Chase]]'' [8.12] === :'''House''': If she likes crippled guys, I'm free for the next six minutes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': Three weeks ago, you never would have slept with a patient. And you never would have operated on her after. You need help. :'''Chase''': I need to get away from House and everything that reminds me of him. :'''Adams''': By breaking the rules, not caring what anyone else thinks. You're gonna get away from him by turning into him? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Plaques... can be mistaken for nodules... which means... :'''Chase''': Syphilis. :'''House''': Explains the shoulder and foot involvement. Hope you practiced immaculate contraception. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': She's throwing her life away based on blind faith! :'''House''': So are you! She's found something she wants to build her life around. It's a total illusion, but apparently, she'll take a little ignorance with her bliss. You want to take that away. :'''Chase''': How many times have you thrown the truth in people's faces? :'''House''': Because it's the truth, not because we're gonna live happily ever after! Either your relationship just blows up, like every other non-magical romance, or she stays with you but blames you for stripping all the meaning out of her life. :'''Chase''': This has nothing to do with the truth. You don't like that I'm reassessing my life. That I want to change it. That I can. :'''House''': Anyone can screw up a life. I never said ''that'' wasn't possible. :'''Chase''': You're incapable of human connection, so you want everyone to be like you. :'''House''': ''[shouting]'' If I wanted you to be like me... ''[calmer]'' I would be urging you to make a stupid, stubborn decision that blows up your life and leaves you lonely and miserable. You reassess your life when you make mistakes. You didn't. You just got stabbed. === ''[[W:Man of the House (House)|Man of the House]]'' [8.13] === :'''House''': Now, I am hereby searching for a number two. So I'm eating a lot of bran. Also, I want a team leader. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': I'm guessing that your testosterone level is just below "[[w:Justin Bieber|Bieber]]." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': If low testosterone means I can't get sick with something else, punch me in the junk right now. :'''House''': I would, if it weren't redundant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Park''': So, nobody cares about the position until I apply, and suddenly it's the last limited-edition [[w:Lightsaber|lightsaber]] at [[w:Comic Con|ComiCon]]? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Taub''': House is a dictator. Second in command is a meaningless position. === ''[[W:Love Is Blind (House)|Love is Blind]]'' [8.14] === :'''Park''': 82 pounds. ''[Everyone stares]'' How much weight I put on when my break ended the same way. People were calling me "Park-ing Lot." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Thomas''': Practically walked in on us having sex. God, if I saw my mother doing that I'd claw my own eyes out. Of course, she was nowhere near as attractive as you. Horribly fat, as a matter of fact. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': How long are you going to wait until you tell me? :'''Wilson''': I thought we already had the Santa Claus talk. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Park''': ''[to Will, the patient]'' I'm Dr. Park, by the way. I'm 5'2", Asian, and I'm totally cool with it if you want to feel my face. :'''Melissa''': Blind people only do that in movies. :'''Will''': But you sound nice, so if you want me to... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': We see people with disabilities all the time, but seeing and understanding are not the same. :'''Chase''': Are you talking to me, or writing a Facebook post? === ''[[W:Blowing the Whistle|Blowing the Whistle]]'' [8.15] === :'''House''': What's the opposite of "thank you"? I'm pretty sure it ends in "you." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': House? :'''House''': Shhhh. I'm with a patient. :''[Wilson turns on the lights to see the patient House is with passed out]'' :'''House''': Sleep study. :'''Wilson''': You drugged him? :'''House''': I didn't say the study was voluntary. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brant''': Who are you? :'''House''': Well, considering the only people allowed in this room are your doctors and your family... I'm your long-lost cousin Ralph. So glad to finally meet you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': I've been avoiding you because you're an ass. :'''House''': I've been an ass my whole life. I can't get rid of you. :'''Wilson''': You can get rid me of now. Just turn and limp away. :'''House''': Huh. Your whiny righteousness has the stench of sincerity. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': You want to reject our current diagnosis because he... he had a few grey hairs, panicked and shaved his head? :'''House''': I'm gonna reject your current diagnosis because I think we're wrong and treating for wrong diagnoses can result in side effects like death. === ''[[W:Gut Check|Gut Check]]'' [8.16] === :'''Taub''': I've known a lot of bullies. People who didn't like me because I'm short. People who didn't like me because I'm Jewish. :'''House''': I get it. There's a long list of reasons not to like you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Every little girl wants a pony till they have to clean up after it. :'''Wilson''': You think I'm going to quit on this? On an 11-year-old? :'''House''': The only relationship you haven't quit on has been me. :'''Wilson''': Hmm. A needy, truculent narcissist. I think it's been perfect training for parenthood. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': The sound of a needy child is stirring your paternal juices. :'''Wilson''': The sound of a needy child at 112 decibels has stirred my inner murderer. Don't mess with me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adams''': Aside from the crying, he's actually recovering nicely. :'''Taub''': Aside from the guy in the book depository, the Kennedys had a lovely trip to Dallas. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chase''': Fighting's the best part of hockey. Without it you'd have the ice capades. :'''Taub''': Fighting has nothing to do with hockey. It's like the cheerleaders at a basketball game. :'''Chase''': Cheerleading's the best part of basketball. Without it, you've got... basketball. === ''[[W:We Need the Eggs|We Need the Eggs]]'' [8.17] === :'''House''': Sex? At work? I'm not a savage. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Sex is a given. They're hookers. To get the gig, a call girl - sorry, 'call woman' - needs a combination of skills that I find useful/entertaining for the remaining 57 minutes of the hour I paid for. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': ''[[w:Mazel tov|Mazal tov]]'', Great relationships often start with snap decisions aimed at proving me wrong. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': So let me get this straight, I'm being dumped by a hooker who's worried about my feelings? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Park''': Have you ever paid for sex? :'''Taub''': Every guy who has ever seen a Merchant-Ivory movie has paid for sex === ''[[W:Body & Soul (House)|Body & Soul]]'' [8.18] === :'''House''': Tell the parents to lay off the grades. The world needs fry cooks, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': [[W:Sudden unexpected death syndrome|SUNDS, Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome]]. AKA, BS name for 'no one's figured out why they died.' Over 100 in the early '80s. Only male. Only [[W:Hmong people|Hmong]]. Healthy, right up until the moment they died in their sleep. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dominika''': How can you believe in [[W:Dark matter|dark matters]] but not in dark spirits? Is the idea of demon so different than the [[W:Higgs boson|Higgs boson]]? We can't see it, but we can see the impact of its presence. I borrowed your physics book. I read while in bathroom. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': We can also act like walls don't mean anything. But then we'd hurt our noses. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': It looks like my watch has stopped. It seems ''never'' has arrived. === ''[[W:The C-Word|The C-Word]]'' [8.19] === :'''House''': We don't have to have sex. Sometimes it's nice just to cuddle and talk. Me first. You don't want a second opinion. You're already on your fifth. You got Evans at Mercy, Shaw at County, Foster at Johns Hopkins. And every one of them has given you the same advice. You're nuts. You don't just want chemo. You want a dose so high, there's a one-in-three chance it'll kill you outright. Question is, why didn't you tell me? Because you knew I'd stop you. Which means you've already found someone insane enough or desperate enough to give you what amounts to a death dose of chemicals. But who would be that stupid? I'm thinking that the who, is you. Where exactly were you planning on killing yourself? 'Cause I don't think Foreman is gonna let you do it here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Statistically, this treatment has about the same chance of killing you as the thymoma does. But a hell of a lot faster. :'''Wilson''': ''[Picks up a small maze puzzle off his desk]'' Nancy Wells, cervical cancer, 70% survival rate. Died November 6, 1998; 64 years old.

''[Puts the bird back and picks up a deep sea diver from a collection of toys on a counter behind his desk]'' John Taylor. Thyroid. 96% survival rate. I promised him he'd be fine. ''[Putting down the toy]'' Eight years old. I am not going to die slowly in a hospital bed under fluorescent lighting with people stopping by to gawk and lie about how I look. Even a small chance of that happening is too big a chance for me. :'''House''': You're an idiot. And the odds say you're gonna die. We'll do it at my place. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': If things go wrong, I just want you to know... :'''House''': If you're going to say that you've always been secretly gay for me, everyone always just kind of assumed it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': It's pathetic. I'm pathetic. An oncologist with cancer. Of all the things that could be killing me...It's like the universe is giving me the big middle finger. :'''House''': The universe doesn't care-- :'''Wilson''': Why me? I'm always telling my patients not to torture themselves, because there's no answer. :'''House''': Sound advice. :'''Wilson''': It's cruel advice. They were just trying to make sense of what was happening to them, and I'm there telling them not to bother? I should have spent my life being more like you. Should have been a manipulative, self-centered, narcissistic ass who brought misery to everything and everyone in his life. :'''House''': You'd still have cancer. :'''Wilson''': Yeah! But at least I'd feel like I deserved it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': Okay, your heart rate's up, BP's tanking. White blood count's at 500. We have to go to the hospital now. :'''Wilson''': No. :'''House''': I don't have the equipment or the meds to handle this. :'''Wilson''': No. Win or lose. Win or lose. That was the deal. :'''House''': That was the deal when there was an "or". You can't win this. :'''Wilson''': No. No. I'd rather die here. ''[crying]'' Not in an ambulance. Not in a hospital. Please, you can't do that to me. I can't — House… Please. Promise me that you won't do that to me. Promise me. :'''House''': Okay, I promise. === ''[[W:Post Mortem (House)|Post Mortem]]'' [8.20] === :'''House''': People don't change. You are a person.

I go to work, I'm in pain! You know how many times I just want to give up? How many times I thought of ending it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wilson''': He's not my child. I cannot be responsible for the happiness of Gregory House. :'''Foreman''': You are responsible. The past 20 years, you've had three wives, hundreds of colleagues, thousands of patients. But you've kept that one best friend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': Chemo won't make your life any better, but caring will. Enduring pain to do some good for someone you care about - isn't that what life is? <hr width="50%"/> :'''House''': You're the only one I listen to. The last couple of days I didn't, and I almost killed my patient.

The thing you have to remember, the thing you can’t forget, is that Gregory House saved lives. He was a healer, and, and in the end... :House was an ass. He mocked anyone - patients, co-workers, his dwindling friends, anyone who didn’t measure up to his insane ideals of integrity. He claimed to be on some heroic quest for truth, but the truth is he was a bitter jerk who liked making people miserable, and he proved that by dying selfishly numbed by narcotics without a thought of anyone. A betrayal ''[phone rings]'' of everyone who cared about him. ''[Phone rings]'' Phone! A million times he needed me, and the one time that I needed him ''[phone rings]'' OH COME ON! This is a funeral! Just, get it! ''[Phone rings, phone rings]''. Heh, heh, heh, well, this is embarrassing.

The series was developed for American television by [[w:Howard Gordon|Howard Gordon]] and [[w:Alex Gansa|Alex Gansa]] and is based on the [[w:Israel|Israeli]] series ''[[w:Hatufim|Hatufim]]'' (English title: ''Prisoners of War'') created by Gideon Raff. == Season 1 == === ''[[w:Pilot (Homeland)|Pilot]]'' [1.01] === :'''Saul''': What were his exact words, please? :'''[[w:Carrie Mathison|Carrie]]''': An American prisoner of war has been turned. :'''Saul''': He said this in English? :'''Carrie''': Yes, he whispered it into my ear right before the guards pulled me away. :'''Saul''': Why would he use the expression "turned"? :'''Carrie''': He mentioned turned, working for Abu Nazir. :'''Saul''': Why am I just hearing about this now? :'''Carrie''': Because until ten minutes ago, I didn't know there ''were'' any POWs alive in Iraq or Afghanistan. :'''Saul''': So you're suggesting that Abu Nazir planted intelligence on his own safehouse just so we could recover Sergeant Brody? :'''Carrie''': I realize it sounds like a reach. :'''Saul''': To say the least. Why not just drop him near a checkpoint and make it look like he escaped? Why would you sacrifice thirteen trained fighters? :'''Carrie''': Because Abu Nazir is playing the long game. This way no one suspects a thing. :'''Saul''': Except you. :'''Carrie''': Yeah, except me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carrie''': I-I'm just making sure we don't get hit again. :'''Saul''': Well, I'm glad someone's looking out for the country, Carrie. :'''Carrie''': I'm serious.

But we all draw lines somewhere, and the two sides of that line are us and them. And whatever we had you and I, whatever trust we built up over a decade of me protecting you and teaching you everything I know, you destroyed it when you lied to me and you treated me like them. Like every other schmuck in this building. So when you say you understand, is that what you mean? Is this interesting? <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Nicholas Brody|Brody]]''': They want you to lose faith. Lose faith in your country, which they say is the devil.

In your wife, who they say has got her arms wrapped around someone else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''O'Donnell''': How do you resist that? :'''Brody''': You can't.

You're free to go now. :'''Al-Zahrani''': What happens to me after all of this? :'''Saul''': Go about your business. Live your life. We say nothing to Saudi Intelligence about your connections to Abu Nazir, you say nothing to Abu Nazir about our little get-together. You work for us now. Welcome to the CIA. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Galyean''': Al-Zahrani's got diplomatic immunity. That may not mean much to you people, but to us mere mortals in the State Department, that's a serious issue. :'''Saul''': We're not dragging him to Tunisia. We're not waterboarding. We'll be very polite and gentle. I just want to ask him some questions during his lunch hour. :'''Galyean''': CIA's not even supposed to be operating on American soil. It's against your own charter. This is the FBI's job. :'''Saul''': Al-Zahrani's running a terrorist cell out of the Saudi embassy. He and Tom Walker are planning an attack on the United States.

I've put all that away. :'''Saul''': Please, Carrie. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David''': I want you to know, Carrie, this is much appreciated. :'''Carrie''': Let's just get it over with, okay? :'''David''': ''[places folder on the table]'' There's a photo inside I'd like you to take a look at. Do you recognize her? :'''Carrie''': Yeah, I recognize her. Why? :'''David''': Who is she? :'''Carrie''': Fatima Ali, first wife of Abbas Ali. :'''David''': The Hezbollah district commander. How do you know her? :'''Carrie''': I recruited her, that's how. :'''David''': Yet there's no record of her being an asset of yours. :'''Carrie''': I ran her off book. :'''David''': Why? :'''Carrie''': Because I was interested in keeping her alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maggie''': Carrie, please. This is crazy. :'''Carrie''': Believe me, I wouldn't be going if I had a choice. :'''Maggie''': You do have a choice. You always have a choice. :'''Carrie''': No, not this time. :'''Maggie''': Carrie, you're just starting to get back on your feet. You're not ready for this. :'''Carrie''': Don't you think I know that? :'''Maggie''': Regular sleep and meals, avoiding stress, a schedule. These are the things that have been working so well for you. At least call Doctor Rosenberg before you make a decision. :'''Carrie''': I've already decided. :'''Maggie''': I don't understand how you can trust these people for one minute after what they did to you. :'''Carrie''': I trust Saul. He'll be there to hold my hand and it's only for a few days. :'''Maggie''': You say this is about patriotism, but we both know that's not the whole story. Part of you wants to do this. === ''Beirut Is Back'' [2.02] === :'''[[w:Carrie Mathison|Carrie]]''': Why did you stop calling, Saul? :'''Saul''': Doctor Rosenberg said I reminded you of work. I was having a deleterious affect on your prognosis. :'''Carrie''': ''[smiles]'' That sounds like him. :'''Saul''': Ever think we'd be doing this again? :'''Carrie''': I hoped. I know, I know. Don't get used to it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Saul''': ''[to Carrie]'' Hey, your source came through. I won't have you call this anything but a victory. === ''State of Independence'' [2.03] === :'''Jessica''': Was there really a union meeting in your district today? :'''[[w:Nicholas Brody|Brody]]''': Yes. :'''Jessica''': Where? What town? Don't answer that. I don't want to hear another lie. :'''Brody''': I'm not lying. :'''Jessica''': They just roll off your tongue, don't they? One after the other. I really thought we turned a corner this morning. You're hiding something. I can see it in your eyes. Now either you tell me what's going on -- :'''Brody''': There's nothing going on -- :'''Jessica''': Or I suggest you start looking for a hotel room! And while you're at it, you give this marriage some serious thought, because I don't think I can do this anymore. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Carrie Mathison|Carrie]]''': You're not in Beirut? :'''Saul''': Came straight here from the airport. I hear you were turned away from the debrief at Langley today. :'''Carrie''': I was the one who recovered that intel. He wouldn't even let me present it! :'''Saul''': Well, I can only imagine how shitty that must have felt. Still feels. :'''Carrie''': Before the Beirut trip, I really thought I'd ''finally'' found a way to cope with being out of the company. :'''Saul''': Before you dig that hole any deeper, I have to show you something. Is this your computer? :'''Carrie''': Yeah. :'''Saul''': ''[removes a flash drive from his breast pocket]'' Here. I'll only fuck it up. That's the one piece of intel recovered in Beirut that Estes and his men haven't seen yet. I came straight from the airport because I think you deserve to see it first. :''[Carrie inserts the flash drive and presses play]'' :'''Brody''': ''[pre-recorded video]'' This is Nicholas Brody and I'm a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. People will say I was broken, I was brainwashed. People will say I was turned into a terrorist. :'''Carrie''': Oh my God. :'''Brody''': Taught to hate my country. My actions this day is against such domestic enemies. The vice-president and members of his national security team, who I know to be liars and war criminals -- :'''Carrie''': ''[quietly]'' I was right. :'''Brody''': -- who are responsible for atrocities they must be held accountable for. :'''Saul''': ''[whispers]'' You were right. :'''Brody''': This is about justice for eighty-two children whose deaths were never acknowledged and whose murder is a stain on the soul of this nation. :'''Carrie''': ''[crying]'' I was right. === ''New Car Smell'' [2.04] === :'''Virgil''': Well, well, well. Carrie Mathison was right about the red-headed menace. :'''[[w:Carrie Mathison|Carrie]]''': It only took a year for people to believe me. :'''Max''': I believed you. Right from the start. :'''Carrie''': Thank you, Max. :'''Max''': Of course - no one ever asked me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virgil''': Brody spoke to four people on Capitol Hill, and 12 more at the Virginia Businessmen's Reception. :'''Max''': Plus a guy at a newsstand on K Street. :'''Carrie''': They all go up. :'''Carrie''': How come I've never heard of this guy? :'''Virgil''': Who, Quinn? :'''Carrie''': He was on the floor like me, six years? I never met him. :'''Virgil''': That's because you were in the Middle East! :'''Carrie''': I don't know. Look into him, would you? :'''Virgil''': Oh, sure, I'm not busy. :'''Carrie''': Virgil, just check him out. - Please. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': Sweet hardware! :'''Virgil''': Yup. CIA has the best shit. :'''Quinn''': So, who are these guys? :'''Carrie''': Uhm, the same guys who've already watched Brody for 300 hours. Who are you? :'''Quinn''': The guy [who's] running things. :'''Carrie''': ''[surprised]'' Is that right? :'''Saul''': ''[resignedly]'' Yes. It is. :'''Quinn''': And I don't like surprises. :'''Carrie''': Err, I'm not crazy 'bout them, either. :'''Quinn''': ''[mockingly]'' Crazy? Interesting word. --- [shaking hands with Carrie] Peter Quinn. :'''Carrie''': Uh, Carrie. :'''Quinn''': Mathison. :'''Carrie''': Yes. I know. :'''Quinn''': I like your work. :'''Carrie''': ''[warily]'' Uh, Peter Quinn from where? :'''Quinn''': Same place as you. :'''Carrie''': Officer? :'''Quinn''': Analyst. :'''Saul''': Estes brought him in. :'''Carrie''': Ah. :'''Quinn''': So. Let's talk shop. :'''Carrie''': ''[unwilling to take the information for granted]'' What... How many years? :'''Quinn''': Six at Langley, four on the Venezuela desk. :'''Carrie''': The cartels? :'''Quinn''': Like that. --- Are we done with the meet and greet? :'''Saul''': Yes. Moving on? :'''Quinn''': So, we run a small team on Brody twenty four-seven. My team already hooked into the security cameras in the Rayburn building, tapping his home phone and cell. Anywhere else he goes, we have a man on him. :'''Virgil''': And what team is that? :'''Quinn''': You'll never see them. :'''Carrie''': Saul and I already have a plan. :'''Quinn''': ''[patronizing]'' Hold that thought --- Brody has a meeting this morning at the CIA, and we want to throw him a jolt. So we figured go for his Achilles heel. --- Which is you. :'''Carrie''': So I'm in the building. I... I run into him? :'''Quinn''': Let it drop you're back at the CIA. That should trigger his fear that your theory about him is now back in play. And that should send him to his handlers, where you guys... will be there with cameras. :'''Max''': Roger that. :'''Carrie''': Yeah, OK. :'''Quinn''': So, you want to tell us your plan now? :'''Carrie''': Uh, actually, it was the same. :'''Quinn''': The same plan? :'''Carrie''': Same plan. So... :'''Quinn''': ''[ironically]'' So... I'm only half a moron. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Quinn''': You were fucking him, huh? :'''Carrie''': What? :'''Quinn''': Brody. :'''Carrie''': Who are ''you'' fucking? :'''Quinn''': An ER nurse. I'm not that into her. :'''Carrie''': You're pretty mouthy for an analyst. :'''Quinn''': I'm just saying, if he did to me what he did to you, got me fired and made me think I was crazy when I wasn't, sent me off to get my brain zapped, I'd fucking rip his skin off. :'''Carrie''': Well... that's the plan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carrie''': It reeks, you know. :'''[[w:Nicholas Brody|Brody]]''': My confusion? :'''Carrie''': Your bullshit. We only have a few more minutes alone. :'''Brody''': You still have your twisted theories about me, don't you? :'''Carrie''': Not theories anymore. :'''Brody''': Look, I'm sorry I called. I guess I thought we could be friends. :'''Carrie''': Friends?! Oh, yeah. Do I want to be friends with a demented ex-soldier that hates America? Who decided strapping on a bomb was the answer to what ailed him? Despite his daughter, his son, people who loved him in real life, not in the mind-fuck world of Abu Nazir, who in the end, didn't have the stones to go through with it, but had ''no problem'' sending me to the nuthouse. Yeah. No, thanks. I don't think I need a friend like that. :'''Brody''': Okay. Not friends. :'''Carrie''': So what are you going to do now? Are you going to kill me? You going to blame it on rough sex maybe? I mean, how long can you get away with something like that? :'''Brody''': I've had a pretty good run so far. :'''Carrie''': That's true. :'''Brody''': I seem to be good at this, if nothing else. :'''Carrie''': You're special. :'''Brody''': I liked you, Carrie. :'''Carrie''': I ''loved'' you. :''[Team breaks in and wrestles Brody to the floor, cuffing him]'' :'''Carrie''': If only the circumstances had been ''wildly'' different. You're a disgrace to your nation, Sergeant Nicholas Brody. You're a traitor and a terrorist, and now it's time you pay for that. === ''Q&A'' [2.05] === :'''[[w:Carrie Mathison|Carrie]]''': ''[to Brody]'' You broke my heart, you know. Was that easy for you? Was that fun? Because of you, I questioned my own sanity, I had myself admitted to a mental institution. I lost my job, too. I lost my place in the world. I lost everything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carrie''': ''[to Brody]'' It was hearing Dana’s voice that changed your mind, wasn’t it? She asked you to come home and you did. Why? Maybe because… Maybe because you suddenly understood that killing yourself and ruining Dana’s life wouldn’t bring Isa back. Maybe because you knew then how much you loved your own child. Maybe because you were just sick of death. That’s the Brody I’m talking to. That’s the Brody that knows the difference between warfare and terrorism. That’s the Brody I met up in that cabin. That’s the Brody I fell in love with. === ''A Gettysburg Address'' [2.06] === === ''[[w:The Clearing (Homeland)|The Clearing]]'' [2.07] === :'''Reynolds''': [leading Saul to Aileen's cell] This one's a piece of work.

We drove from Mexico to D.C. together.

You tell me. :'''Carrie''': Okay, Brody, calm down. :'''Brody''': You came to me, accusing me of lying about Gettysburg. Maybe it's you who's the one that's lying, hmm? Puttin' some bullshit on me. :'''Carrie''': I'm not. :'''Brody''': Why should I believe you? :''' Mathison''': I'll take care of Faber. :'''Brody''': How? How? Have you really got this under control? Because it doesn't seem like it. And what the fuck happened in that shop? How did you lose those six agents? :'''Carrie''': We're investigating that. :'''Brody''': Great.

The series centers on the Browns and Tubbs, two dysfunctional families consisting of parents Cleveland Brown and Donna Tubbs and their children Cleveland Brown, Jr., Roberta Tubbs, and Rallo Tubbs. Similar to ''Family Guy'', it exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. ===''[[w:Escape From Goochland|Escape From Goochland]]''=== :''[Roberta is texting]'' :'''Cleveland Jr.''': Thanks for making it so we can't have costumes, Roberta.

We'll pull through this one too! :'''Kirby''': Poyo! :'''Chief Bookem''': We just don't know what we should do, Tiff. :'''Tiff''': Meta Knight will tell us. He wants to meet with all of us up in the castle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': It's a phone. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': That isn't just an ordinary phone, Your Majesty. ''[Dedede's phone starts ringing with a familiar-sounding ringtone, and Dedede opens his phone to find Kirby and another familiar-sounding ringtone, this one being a remix of the theme song]'' :'''King Dedede''': Hey, what's that pink stinker doing in there?! :'''Escargoon''': And what's with that annoying music?! :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': ''(laughs)'' Nobody would ever suspect that you'd use a Kirby phone to call Nightmare Enterprises. :'''King Dedede''': Great idea! :'''Escargoon''': I wouldn't be surprised if we even get stuck with a phone bill. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': ''[about the Halberd]'' Hey, what is that damn thing? :'''Escargoon''': Sire, how am I supposed to know? But whatever it is, I think our friend at Nightmare Enterprises would be very interested in it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meta Knight''': The coming battle may well determine the fate of the galaxy. :'''Tiff''': We can't give up without a fight. :'''King Dedede''': Meta Knight, you's a dirty double-crosser! You've got some nerve building this here battleship in my basement! :'''Escargoon''': And what's with this "fate of the galaxy" mumbo jumbo? You got that helmet on too tight? :'''Meta Knight''': You still have a chance to join forces with us before it is too late. :'''King Dedede''': Lemme see inside of that ship first. :''(the door to the inside of the Halberd opens)'' :'''Meta Knight''': Follow me. I will take you to the bridge. :'''King Dedede''': Yeah, I'd like to push you off one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': This is catastrophic. :'''Samo''': How can we survive, Meta Knight? :'''Prof. Curio''': Maybe we should just get rid of Kirby. :'''Meta Knight''': Listen to me. eNeMeE is not just after Kirby. He will not stop until he controls the entire universe! We must all try to stop him! :'''Tiff''': That's what this battleship's for, right? :'''Tuff''': We can battle eNeMeE from inside here. :'''Kirby''': Poyo. :'''Mabel''': This sounds crazy. :'''Meta Knight''': The odds are against us, but you must decide now! I need a crew. Will you stand up and fight with me? :''[the Cappies recoil in fear]'' :'''Samo''': You want us to fight?! :'''Chef Kawasaki''': I'm a chef, not a soldier! :'''Meta Knight''': I cannot fly this ship alone. Are there no brave volunteers? Chief Bookem! :'''Chief Bookem''': Ah, I'd like to help, but I'm a lawman, not an airman. :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': I'm too old to volunteer. :'''Chef Kawasaki''': I think I left my oven on! :'''Mabel''': My crystal ball needs polishing! :'''Gus''': Gotta go pump some gas! :'''Prof. Curio''': Good luck, Meta Knight! :''[the Cappies run out of the Halberd in terror]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': Hey there, D. What's shakin'? :'''King Dedede''': ME! You just blowed up my monster transmitter! :'''Escargoon''': And you nearly got us, too! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kit Cosmos''': Kirby doesn't stand a chance without help. :''[the Cappies turn around and notice Kit Cosmos]'' :'''Kit Cosmos''': Well what're you waitin' for? We can't let a Star Warrior battle alone! :'''Samo''': Who is he? :'''Mabel''': I don't know, but he could use a shave. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Sergeant Kit Cosmos! I served with Meta Knight and the Star Warrior force and I'm reportin' for duty. :'''Iro''': Tiff told us about you. :'''Honey''': He's a big hero. :'''Spikehead''': You live on that island. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Kirby and his squad found me there, and when they went home, I chose to stay. But now I've come to help Kirby take on eNeMeE. All right then, who's ready to fight alongside me? :'''Samo''': He certainly is a tough cookie. :'''Chef Kawasaki''': Yeah. Even tougher than my cookies. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Will you stand alongside me, or are you a cowering coward? :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': We can't fight, Sergeant. :'''Prof. Curio''': We're not soldiers. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Not soldiers? Is that a reason for you to stand there and do nothin'?! Kirby's riskin' his life to save your planet, and it's your duty to help him! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tuff''': Look who's here. :'''Tiff''': Sergeant Cosmos! :'''Kit Cosmos''': I'd never miss a fight if I can help it. ''[Meta Knight steps out to greet him]'' Meta Knight sir! :'''Meta Knight''': What brings you here? :'''Kit Cosmos''': I may be a soldier who's over the hill, but I'm proud to serve one last time, if you'll have me. :'''Meta Knight''': I will. :'''Kit Cosmos''': It'll be an honor, sir. :'''Chef Kawasaki''': I can mess up the mess hall, so count me in too! :'''Dr. Yabui''': You'll need a medic. :'''Gus''': And I've got the muscle to tune this baby up for ya! :'''Tiff''': Thanks, guys! But not all of us can go. :'''Tuff''': Yeah. Somebody's gotta stay behind to start rebuilding Cappy Town. :'''Prof. Curio''': Hmmm. We never thought of that, did we? :'''Gengu''': Yeah, I guess you're... ''[the area around them shakes again]'' :'''Sword Knight''': All volunteers on board. :'''Blade Knight''': ''*mumbling*'' Help Kirby. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Escargoon''': Hey, sire. What were you supposed to do again? :'''King Dedede''': I was supposed to plant this here time bomb on the ship. :'''Escargoon''': We weren't supposed to be on the ship, were we? :'''King Dedede''': Aaah! Get me outta here! == [Episode 99] Combat Kirby ([Episode 99] 撃滅! ナイトメア大要塞) == :'''Sword Knight''': Don't worry. She'll be fine. This ship's made to move at hyper speeds. :'''Tuff''': Yeah, but none of us are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tokkori''': Some wormhole. I don't see no worms nowhere. <hr width="50%"/> :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': Our sensors go to have picked up some sort of battleship coming out of a wormhole one light year away. It appears that Kirby and Meta Knight have decided to attack us with their puny little battle barge. :'''Nightmare''': They are growing desperate. They'll realize I have them beaten. I was hoping they'd be foolish enough to attack, so I've prepared a surprise for them. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': The capsule's set, sir. I'll send it on its way.

When I don't have any patients to see, I get rather impatient. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tuff''': Isn't there any place we can go to get away from you two? :'''Tiff''': I should've guessed you'd try and stow away. :'''Escargoon''': We have a right to be here, sister! :'''King Dedede''': Yeah, this ship was built on my property. :'''Chef Kawasaki''': What are you doing here?! :'''King Dedede''': I'm comin' along to give you all a helping hand! I'm sick and tired of eNeMeE sending me all them defective monsters! :'''Escargoon''': What else can we say? We're disgruntled. :'''King Dedede''': I'm gonna show them crooked creepos that they've done ripped off this here king for the last time! :'''Tiff''': Well we don't believe a word you say! :'''Meta Knight''': Do your duty, Chief. :'''Chief Bookem''': I'm lockin' you up as non-combatant detainees. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': You think he was trying to tell me something. :'''Escargoon''': He did sound awfully final. :''[King Dedede and Escargoon screaming in shocked.

That'll stop eNeMeE! :'''Tuff''': Yeah, but who can do it? :'''Tokkori''': It's your idea, so you oughtta go. :''[Chef Kawasaki gasps]'' :'''Kit Cosmos''': ''[laughs heartily]'' Don't worry.

Sales Guy''': No thanks, I'm not... :'''King Dedede''': ''[shoves the liver into the N.M.E. Sales Guy's mouth]'' You're gonna love it! ''[laughs]'' :'''Escargoon''': ''[as the N.M.E.

The game is up! :'''Tiff''': You brought Kirby here because this is where you make nightmares! But he's not afraid of you and your tricks. :'''Nightmare''': We shall see about that! Before this match is over, you will both learn the force of my power. ''[evilly laughs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meta Knight''': We can use the monster delivery system here to deliver us home. :'''Tokkori''': You don't seriously expect us to use that contraption, do ya? :'''Kit Cosmos''': Hm. It's worth a try. :'''Meta Knight''': But it is close to the place where you planted that bomb. :''[the rest of the crew gasp]'' :'''Chef Kawasaki''': We have to go back? :'''Meta Knight''': Yes, and we do not have a moment to lose! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nightmare''': He has used up all of his energy. Kirby is now completely helpless. I can crush him with little effort... But first, some fun! I shall enter Kirby's sleep and give him a nightmare, and you can join him. This dream will be a real scream! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nightmare''': ''[screams in terror as Kirby surrounds him with a barrage of stars from the Star Rod]'' No! How did Kirby discover the secret? That pitiful little Star Warrior has found my only weakness. I am helpless against the power of the Star Rod! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': eNeMeE is really a living nightmare, so the only place you could beat him was inside a dream. Good work, Kirby! You are the only Star Warrior who gets the secret of the Star Rod and can use it against eNeMeE! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': ''[About Tuff, Meta Knight, and the Cappies]'' We better go look for the others now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': Hi, everybody! :'''Tuff''': Hey, Tiff! :'''Tiff''': Kirby battled eNeMeE and he beat him! :''[everyone cheers now that they've heard the good news]'' :'''Tiff''': Where are you guys going? :'''Tuff''': The Halberd was blown away.

Sales Guy gasps in shock and terror after having heard what Chief Bookem just said and makes a run for it]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sir Arthur''': Kirby and his crew have actually done it. :'''Knuckle Joe''': I hope they had time to...get away. :'''Sirica''': Good luck, my friends. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Last line, series finale; the sun rises over the horizon and the people look on at the fully-rebuilt Cappy Town happily]'' :'''Mayor Len''': Cappy Town's as beautiful as ever. :'''Mabel''': It was hard work, but we rebuilt it together. :'''Tiff''': Everything's back to normal. :'''Escargoon''': Except for the castle...''[he and King Dedede look at the still-damaged Castle Dedede]'' It's still a wreck. :'''King Dedede''': And I ain't even got me a way to order me no more monsters. :'''Meta Knight''': ''[holds Dedede's cell phone out]'' What about this? :'''King Dedede''': Ah! Gimme! :''[King Dedede turns his cell phone on only to find its monitor all fuzzed out due to the destruction of Nightmare's fortress and the command center that was inside it, and he and Escargoon sigh in sadness.

That's ridiculous! There's no monster in this castle! :'''Cappy''': Yes there is! It's big and it eats everything in sight! :'''Escargoon''': That's King Dedede! There's no monster. Now why don't you go on back to your little trailer park so the King can have his supper in peace? :'''Tiff''': Hey, wait a minute, Escargoon! Not so fast! ''[Tiff, her brother Tuff, and their parents Sir Ebrum and Lady Like appear]'' How do we know you're not lying again? :'''Tuff''': Yeah, like you usually do? :'''Escargoon''': You have no right to speak to me that way. Your parents should slap you silly. :'''Tiff''': Papa, something funny's going on! :'''Sir Ebrum''': You might be right, Tiff. A monster is the kind of thing that Dedede would love. :'''Lady Like''': The king must be behind this! :'''Escargoon''': You're court official. How dare you accuse his royal highness! ''[to King Dedede]'' Want me to check 'em in for a two-week stay in the dungeon, sweet kingey? :'''King Dedede''': ''[Laughs and turns to face everyone else]'' A monster, huh? Would the monster happen to look anything that? :''[He points to a fish tank containing a small octopus]'' :'''Cappy''': That's it! That's the monster! Except it was a hundred times bigger! :'''King Dedede''': ''[laughs]'' Well you can see this ain't no monster, it's my new pet octopus. The only thing he likes to eat is sardines. :''[He drops one in the tanks. The octopus eats it]'' :'''King Dedede''': Hehehehe. Little fella wouldn't hurt a fly less it was on the end of a fish hook! :'''Escargoon''': Of course it wouldn't. Now get out and go back to your trailer park so the king can have his dessert! Go on! Poof, you're gone! :''[Tiff runs up to the octopus. The two exchange stares]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kabu''': Tell me, citizens of Dreamland.

We lost everything because of you! :'''Tuggle''': It was a mistake to let you live here. :'''Buttercup''': Maybe it's time for you to move on. :'''Gengu''': Yeah, this is all your fault, Kirby! :''[Kirby lets out another sad Poyo, only for his friends to step in and defend him]'' :'''Tiff''': This isn't Kirby's fault. It's Dedede's fault! :'''Tuff''': Yeah, what about all the times Kirby came to our rescue? :'''Chief Bookem''': He sure didn't save us this time. :'''Hana''': That's why we don't have a place to live anymore. :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': Cappy Town is in ruins. :'''Melman''': There's not a mailbox left in the whole town. :'''Samo''': It's a fine mess Kirby's got us in. :'''Tiff''': Well this isn't gonna solve anything. :'''Tuff''': Yeah!

Remember, we've been through tough times before. We'll pull through this one too! :'''Kirby''': Poyo! :'''Chief Bookem''': We just don't know what we should do, Tiff. :'''Tiff''': Meta Knight will tell us. He wants to meet with all of us up in the castle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': It's a phone. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': That isn't just an ordinary phone, Your Majesty.

I will take you to the bridge. :'''King Dedede''': Yeah, I'd like to push you off one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': This is catastrophic. :'''Samo''': How can we survive, Meta Knight? :'''Prof. Curio''': Maybe we should just get rid of Kirby. :'''Meta Knight''': Listen to me. eNeMeE is not just after Kirby. He will not stop until he controls the entire universe! We must all try to stop him! :'''Tiff''': That's what this battleship's for, right? :'''Tuff''': We can battle eNeMeE from inside here. :'''Kirby''': Poyo. :'''Mabel''': This sounds crazy. :'''Meta Knight''': The odds are against us, but you must decide now!

But now I've come to help Kirby take on eNeMeE. All right then, who's ready to fight alongside me? :'''Samo''': He certainly is a tough cookie. :'''Chef Kawasaki''': Yeah. Even tougher than my cookies. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Will you stand alongside me, or are you a cowering coward? :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': We can't fight, Sergeant. :'''Prof. Curio''': We're not soldiers. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Not soldiers?

I was hoping they'd be foolish enough to attack, so I've prepared a surprise for them. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': The capsule's set, sir. I'll send it on its way.

That's ridiculous! There's no monster in this castle! :'''Cappy''': Yes there is! It's big and it eats everything in sight! :'''Escargoon''': That's King Dedede! There's no monster. Now why don't you go on back to your little trailer park so the King can have his supper in peace? :'''Tiff''': Hey, wait a minute, Escargoon! Not so fast! ''[Tiff, her brother Tuff, and their parents Sir Ebrum and Lady Like appear]'' How do we know you're not lying again? :'''Tuff''': Yeah, like you usually do? :'''Escargoon''': You have no right to speak to me that way. Your parents should slap you silly. :'''Tiff''': Papa, something funny's going on! :'''Sir Ebrum''': You might be right, Tiff. A monster is the kind of thing that Dedede would love. :'''Lady Like''': The king must be behind this! :'''Escargoon''': You're court official. How dare you accuse his royal highness! ''[to King Dedede]'' Want me to check 'em in for a two-week stay in the dungeon, sweet kingey? :'''King Dedede''': ''[Laughs and turns to face everyone else]'' A monster, huh? Would the monster happen to look anything that? :''[He points to a fish tank containing a small octopus]'' :'''Cappy''': That's it! That's the monster! Except it was a hundred times bigger! :'''King Dedede''': ''[laughs]'' Well you can see this ain't no monster, it's my new pet octopus. The only thing he likes to eat is sardines. :''[He drops one in the tanks. The octopus eats it]'' :'''King Dedede''': Hehehehe. Little fella wouldn't hurt a fly less it was on the end of a fish hook! :'''Escargoon''': Of course it wouldn't. Now get out and go back to your trailer park so the king can have his dessert! Go on! Poof, you're gone! :''[Tiff runs up to the octopus. The two exchange stares]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kabu''': Tell me, citizens of Dreamland. For what purpose have you come to consult me? :'''Sir Ebrum''': We seek your wisdom and knowledge Kabu! For three nights a giant monster has been stealing our sheep. :'''Lady Like''': And it's robbing me of my beauty sleep. :'''Mayor Len''': King Dedede says it's not his monster... :'''Chief Bookem''': But I don't believe that rascal. :'''Tuff''': You know the truth, Kabu! :'''Tiff''': Please tell us where the monster is, Kabu, and how we can make it go away. :'''Kabu''': The monster is here. And all of Dreamland is in grave danger. :'''Tiff''': Why did he come here? :'''Kabu''': It was called here by your own King Dedede.

Ain't no such person as Kirby. :'''Escargoon''': That's right. You're full of Kabu-loney. :'''Kabu''': Kabu can see the future. :'''King Dedede''': Then why don't you predict what's gonna happen when I push this here button? :'''Kabu''': I predict you will not push it. :'''King Dedede''': Hey Escargoon, did ya hear that one? ''[laughs]'' Well I predict you're dead wrong! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': It's gotta be impossible, but your name wouldn't happen to be "Kirby"?! :'''Kirby''': Kirby! Kirby! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': ''[After Kirby saves her from falling to her death]'' Kirby just saved my life. :'''Tuff''': A monster wouldn't have done that, Tiff. :'''Fololo''': You're right, Tuff. :'''Falala''': Maybe Kirby is a Star Warrior. :'''Tiff''': ''[dusting herself]'' Impossible, Falala.

Once we get it fixed, we can send Kirby back where he came from. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Escargoon''': Why does he have to be so abusive? Self-esteem issues, anyone? <hr width="50%"/> :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': Welcome to Nightmare Enterprises, King Dedede. How may I assist you? :'''King Dedede''': Look, pal, I don't like to complain, but I paid you folks a lot of money for an octopus monster and it turned out to be a little shrimp. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': Just give it time, Your Highness, and I guarantee that little shrimp will grow on you. :'''King Dedede''': Alright. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': ''[screams upon seeing that Octacon has grown to its true size]'' HOLY CALAMARI! :'''Escargoon''': Get back in your tank, you overgrown appetizer! :'''King Dedede''': ''[tackles Escargoon]'' Find the receipt for this thing, 'cause I want my money back! :'''Meta Knight''': You had better leave, Sire. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tuff''': ''[about what Kirby did to Octacon's miniature octopus]'' He sucked 'em up. :'''Tiff''': Just like he sucked up our dinner. :'''Meta Knight''': It is Kirby's classic defense - inhale. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meta Knight''': ''[about Kirby's transformation]'' That is Kirby's copy ability. After inhaling an attack, Kirby can transform himself. Kirby has now become... Fire Kirby. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': There goes my refund. <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': Hey, I do believe we've been starstruck. == [Episode 2] A Blockbuster Battle ([Episode 2] 大変! 戦士のおうち探し)== :'''King Dedede''': They look like rejects to me. I need something strong enough to get rid of Kirby...for good! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Escargoon''': Kirby's sure striking out with the plates. :'''King Dedede''': Then let's see if he can slide. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Escargoon''': ''[about Blocky]'' This thing's even heavier than you, Sire. :'''King Dedede''': Yeah.

What do you mean? :'''Kabu''': There is a secret empire of evil ruled by one known as eNeMeE. ''[does a flashback to a shadowed Nightmare placing Chess monsters on the chessboard in his lair]'' It is his plan to control the entire universe. He creates monsters and delivers them to customers like Dedede, who do not know their true purpose. But eNeMeE made one grave mistake. ''[Nightmare grimaces in pain as the shadowed sphere he was about to place on the chessboard has just stabbed his finger with a sword]'' One creature was produced that would not obey his orders, and eNeMeE fears it may defeat him. ''[Nightmare furiously slams the chessboard as the flashback ends]'' :'''Tiff''': The creature must be... Kirby. :'''Tuff''': Yeah, and that must be why eNeMeE's trying to get rid of him. :'''Kabu''': That is the likely explanation. :'''Tiff''': Well, we better get going. Thanks a lot, Kabu. :'''Tuff''': Hey, Kabu. Where'd ya learn all that stuff? :'''Kabu''': I learned it long ago, from Meta Knight. :'''Tuff''': Say what?! :'''Tiff''': From Meta Knight?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': Well, that pink punk ain't gonna make a monkey out of King Dedede.

Sales Guy''': Our sensors go to have picked up some sort of battleship coming out of a wormhole one light year away. It appears that Kirby and Meta Knight have decided to attack us with their puny little battle barge. :'''Nightmare''': They are growing desperate. They'll realize I have them beaten. I was hoping they'd be foolish enough to attack, so I've prepared a surprise for them. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': The capsule's set, sir. I'll send it on its way.

Sales Guy''': How'd he get in here!? :'''King Dedede''': Oh boy! Home cooking! ''(sits down to eat Kawasaki's cooking and enjoys it)'' Mmm. This here dish is delish! Go on. Have a bite. :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': No thanks, I'm not... :'''King Dedede''': ''[shoves the liver into the N.M.E. Sales Guy's mouth]'' You're gonna love it! ''[laughs]'' :'''Escargoon''': ''[as the N.M.E. Sales Guy turns around, unable to handle the taste of Kawasaki's cooking]'' Bet ya never tasted anything like that! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nightmare''': This is checkmate, Kirby. The game is up! :'''Tiff''': You brought Kirby here because this is where you make nightmares! But he's not afraid of you and your tricks. :'''Nightmare''': We shall see about that! Before this match is over, you will both learn the force of my power. ''[evilly laughs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meta Knight''': We can use the monster delivery system here to deliver us home. :'''Tokkori''': You don't seriously expect us to use that contraption, do ya? :'''Kit Cosmos''': Hm. It's worth a try. :'''Meta Knight''': But it is close to the place where you planted that bomb. :''[the rest of the crew gasp]'' :'''Chef Kawasaki''': We have to go back? :'''Meta Knight''': Yes, and we do not have a moment to lose! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nightmare''': He has used up all of his energy. Kirby is now completely helpless. I can crush him with little effort... But first, some fun! I shall enter Kirby's sleep and give him a nightmare, and you can join him. This dream will be a real scream! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nightmare''': ''[screams in terror as Kirby surrounds him with a barrage of stars from the Star Rod]'' No! How did Kirby discover the secret? That pitiful little Star Warrior has found my only weakness. I am helpless against the power of the Star Rod! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': eNeMeE is really a living nightmare, so the only place you could beat him was inside a dream. Good work, Kirby! You are the only Star Warrior who gets the secret of the Star Rod and can use it against eNeMeE! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': ''[About Tuff, Meta Knight, and the Cappies]'' We better go look for the others now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': Hi, everybody! :'''Tuff''': Hey, Tiff! :'''Tiff''': Kirby battled eNeMeE and he beat him! :''[everyone cheers now that they've heard the good news]'' :'''Tiff''': Where are you guys going? :'''Tuff''': The Halberd was blown away.

Sales Guy''': ''[brushing his teeth to get the taste of Kawasaki's cooking out of his mouth]'' I was completely disgusted! :'''Escargoon''': Now you know how we feel about you! :''[both laugh until they are suddenly interrupted by the Halberd's crew barging into the command center]'' :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': There's the monster delivery system! :'''King Dedede''': Hey, what's goin' on?! :'''Chief Bookem''': Kirby beat eNeMeE and now we're gonna destroy this place! :'''King Dedede''': No way! :''[the N.M.E. Sales Guy gasps in shock and terror after having heard what Chief Bookem just said and makes a run for it]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sir Arthur''': Kirby and his crew have actually done it. :'''Knuckle Joe''': I hope they had time to...get away. :'''Sirica''': Good luck, my friends. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Last line, series finale; the sun rises over the horizon and the people look on at the fully-rebuilt Cappy Town happily]'' :'''Mayor Len''': Cappy Town's as beautiful as ever. :'''Mabel''': It was hard work, but we rebuilt it together. :'''Tiff''': Everything's back to normal. :'''Escargoon''': Except for the castle...''[he and King Dedede look at the still-damaged Castle Dedede]'' It's still a wreck. :'''King Dedede''': And I ain't even got me a way to order me no more monsters. :'''Meta Knight''': ''[holds Dedede's cell phone out]'' What about this? :'''King Dedede''': Ah! Gimme! :''[King Dedede turns his cell phone on only to find its monitor all fuzzed out due to the destruction of Nightmare's fortress and the command center that was inside it, and he and Escargoon sigh in sadness.

That's ridiculous! There's no monster in this castle! :'''Cappy''': Yes there is! It's big and it eats everything in sight! :'''Escargoon''': That's King Dedede! There's no monster. Now why don't you go on back to your little trailer park so the King can have his supper in peace? :'''Tiff''': Hey, wait a minute, Escargoon! Not so fast! ''[Tiff, her brother Tuff, and their parents Sir Ebrum and Lady Like appear]'' How do we know you're not lying again? :'''Tuff''': Yeah, like you usually do? :'''Escargoon''': You have no right to speak to me that way. Your parents should slap you silly. :'''Tiff''': Papa, something funny's going on! :'''Sir Ebrum''': You might be right, Tiff. A monster is the kind of thing that Dedede would love. :'''Lady Like''': The king must be behind this! :'''Escargoon''': You're court official. How dare you accuse his royal highness! ''[to King Dedede]'' Want me to check 'em in for a two-week stay in the dungeon, sweet kingey? :'''King Dedede''': ''[Laughs and turns to face everyone else]'' A monster, huh? Would the monster happen to look anything that? :''[He points to a fish tank containing a small octopus]'' :'''Cappy''': That's it! That's the monster! Except it was a hundred times bigger! :'''King Dedede''': ''[laughs]'' Well you can see this ain't no monster, it's my new pet octopus. The only thing he likes to eat is sardines. :''[He drops one in the tanks. The octopus eats it]'' :'''King Dedede''': Hehehehe. Little fella wouldn't hurt a fly less it was on the end of a fish hook! :'''Escargoon''': Of course it wouldn't. Now get out and go back to your trailer park so the king can have his dessert! Go on! Poof, you're gone! :''[Tiff runs up to the octopus. The two exchange stares]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kabu''': Tell me, citizens of Dreamland. For what purpose have you come to consult me? :'''Sir Ebrum''': We seek your wisdom and knowledge Kabu! For three nights a giant monster has been stealing our sheep. :'''Lady Like''': And it's robbing me of my beauty sleep. :'''Mayor Len''': King Dedede says it's not his monster... :'''Chief Bookem''': But I don't believe that rascal. :'''Tuff''': You know the truth, Kabu! :'''Tiff''': Please tell us where the monster is, Kabu, and how we can make it go away. :'''Kabu''': The monster is here. And all of Dreamland is in grave danger. :'''Tiff''': Why did he come here? :'''Kabu''': It was called here by your own King Dedede.

Ain't no such person as Kirby. :'''Escargoon''': That's right. You're full of Kabu-loney. :'''Kabu''': Kabu can see the future. :'''King Dedede''': Then why don't you predict what's gonna happen when I push this here button? :'''Kabu''': I predict you will not push it. :'''King Dedede''': Hey Escargoon, did ya hear that one? ''[laughs]'' Well I predict you're dead wrong! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': It's gotta be impossible, but your name wouldn't happen to be "Kirby"?! :'''Kirby''': Kirby! Kirby! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': ''[After Kirby saves her from falling to her death]'' Kirby just saved my life. :'''Tuff''': A monster wouldn't have done that, Tiff. :'''Fololo''': You're right, Tuff. :'''Falala''': Maybe Kirby is a Star Warrior. :'''Tiff''': ''[dusting herself]'' Impossible, Falala. Warriors are big and strong, not pink and puffy! ''[Kirby walks by her, surprising her]'' :'''Tuff''': Hey, where are you going?

Once we get it fixed, we can send Kirby back where he came from. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Escargoon''': Why does he have to be so abusive? Self-esteem issues, anyone? <hr width="50%"/> :'''N.M.E.

Even tougher than my cookies. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Will you stand alongside me, or are you a cowering coward? :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': We can't fight, Sergeant. :'''Prof. Curio''': We're not soldiers. :'''Kit Cosmos''': Not soldiers?

I am helpless against the power of the Star Rod! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': eNeMeE is really a living nightmare, so the only place you could beat him was inside a dream. Good work, Kirby! You are the only Star Warrior who gets the secret of the Star Rod and can use it against eNeMeE! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': ''[About Tuff, Meta Knight, and the Cappies]'' We better go look for the others now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiff''': Hi, everybody! :'''Tuff''': Hey, Tiff! :'''Tiff''': Kirby battled eNeMeE and he beat him! :''[everyone cheers now that they've heard the good news]'' :'''Tiff''': Where are you guys going? :'''Tuff''': The Halberd was blown away. We have to escape before our bomb goes off! :''[Tiff and Kirby gasp upon hearing Tuff's own fair share of news]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''King Dedede''': ''[laughs]'' That liver sure made you shiver! :'''N.M.E. Sales Guy''': ''[brushing his teeth to get the taste of Kawasaki's cooking out of his mouth]'' I was completely disgusted! :'''Escargoon''': Now you know how we feel about you! :''[both laugh until they are suddenly interrupted by the Halberd's crew barging into the command center]'' :'''Mayor Len Blustergas''': There's the monster delivery system! :'''King Dedede''': Hey, what's goin' on?! :'''Chief Bookem''': Kirby beat eNeMeE and now we're gonna destroy this place! :'''King Dedede''': No way! :''[the N.M.E. Sales Guy gasps in shock and terror after having heard what Chief Bookem just said and makes a run for it]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sir Arthur''': Kirby and his crew have actually done it. :'''Knuckle Joe''': I hope they had time to...get away. :'''Sirica''': Good luck, my friends. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Last line, series finale; the sun rises over the horizon and the people look on at the fully-rebuilt Cappy Town happily]'' :'''Mayor Len''': Cappy Town's as beautiful as ever. :'''Mabel''': It was hard work, but we rebuilt it together. :'''Tiff''': Everything's back to normal. :'''Escargoon''': Except for the castle...''[he and King Dedede look at the still-damaged Castle Dedede]'' It's still a wreck. :'''King Dedede''': And I ain't even got me a way to order me no more monsters. :'''Meta Knight''': ''[holds Dedede's cell phone out]'' What about this? :'''King Dedede''': Ah! Gimme! :''[King Dedede turns his cell phone on only to find its monitor all fuzzed out due to the destruction of Nightmare's fortress and the command center that was inside it, and he and Escargoon sigh in sadness. Tiff, Tuff, & Kirby laugh at the two and then look back at Cappy Town]'' :'''Tiff''': And so Kirby saved the galaxy and proved himself to be the greatest Star Warrior of all... and life in Dream Land went back to normal. But I suppose that with Kirby around, life will always be an adventure. Isn't that right, Kirby? :'''Kirby''': Puuu...

It takes place in a post-apocalyptic dystopian future. Fifteen years earlier, an unknown phenomenon disabled electricity on the planet and effectively all devices powered by it. == Season One == :''[Opening introduction in every episode.]'' ''We lived in an electric world. We relied on it for everything. And then the power went out. Everything stopped working. We weren't prepared. Fear and confusion led to panic. The lucky ones made it out of the cities. The government collapsed. Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons. We still don't know why the power went out. But we're hopeful someone will come and light the way.'' === ''Pilot'' [1.01] === :'''Narrator''': What you gotta understand... is things used to be different. We used electricity for everything. For our computers, our phones, even to grow food and pump water. But after the Blackout, nothing worked... not even car engines or jet turbines. Hell, even batteries. All of it, gone forever. People starved. Sickness without medicine. Fires without fire trucks. Governments fell. Militias rose up. If you were smart, you left the city. If you weren't, you died there. So, what the hell happened? What caused the Blackout? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Capt. Tom Neville''': I was an insurance adjuster. Most of my job was figuring out whether the things people said lined up with the truth. Lucky for me, it's a skill that never goes out of style. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles Matheson''': ''[To the militia]'' You know, you could just let me go. I'll drink myself to death. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': If Monroe got the power going, that would mean tanks, and planes, and factories. He'd steamroll the entire continent and he'd butcher the other Republics. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlotte 'Charlie' Matheson''': Why did Monroe want my Dad? Why does he want you? :'''Miles''': Monroe thinks your dad knew something. Something important. And he thinks your Dad told me, so I must know it too. :'''Charlie''': What? :'''Miles''': Why the lights went out. Maybe how to turn them back on. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Neville''': To tell you the truth, when General Monroe finds out, he's gonna be irate and he might even have my head. :'''Danny Mathseon''': Let's hope. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aaron Pittman''': Yeah. I used to work at this place called Google. :'''Charlie''': That was a computer thing, right? :'''Aaron Pittman''': Now... it's nothing. $80 million in the bank, and I would trade it all right now for a roll of Charmin. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben Matheson''': Morning, Aaron. :'''Aaron''': Hey, Ben. :'''Ben Matheson''': You look terrible. :'''Aaron''': I was up all night. Had a menage-a-raccoon in my backyard. === ''Chained Heat'' [1.02] === :'''Charlie''': Where are you going? :'''Miles''': Huh, this little place called - Shut up and stay here! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aaron''': Great. They're having a sale on heroin. === ''No Quarter'' [1.03] === :'''Miles''': There are a lot of men out there, okay! And sooner or later, they're coming in. So we are gonna Shawshank our asses outta here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nora''': Wow, can you boil everything down to getting laid? :'''Miles''': Yeah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': He's their CO (Commanding Officer). We can trade him. His life for ours. :'''Jeremy Baker''': Miles? Its really you, isn't it! :'''Rebel Priest''': Who's Miles? :'''Charlie''': You know this guy? :'''Jeremy''': Oh, you really don't know. Do you? :'''Charlie''': How do you know him? :'''Miles''': Well, they're gonna find out sooner or later. Go ahead. Tell them. :'''Jeremy''': This is Miles Matheson. Commanding General of the Monroe Militia. Damn founding father of the Republic. Second only to Sebastian Monroe himself. He taught me everything I know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeremy''': This is so dramatic. You guys remember "One Life to Live"? === ''The Plague Dogs'' [1.04] === :'''Rudy''': There are no more tall ships, no more steam boats. They were all destroyed in the war or ripped apart for lumber. Or the militia's got em. Hell, getting to England is like getting to the moon. === ''Soul Train'' [1.05] === :'''Miles''': That uncle you knew when you were little? Not dead. I just, I can't be him right now. Because I'm gonna have to kill Monroe. I've to walk to Philly and kill my best friend. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Neville''': Come on! Who's next? Danny boy? You're up. :'''Danny''': No. No thanks. :'''Neville''': Come on. The rest of these bootlicks are too afraid to hit hard. But I know how you feel about me. :'''Danny''': I'm not gonna fight you. :''[punches Danny in the face]'' :'''Neville''': You gotta toughen up, son. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': Shut up, already. :'''Neville''': What did you say to me? :'''Danny''': I'm sick of it. I'm sick of your weird speeches, your mind games. Whatever you're trying to do, it's not working. :'''Neville''': I would be very, very careful if I were you. :'''Danny''': Or what? Are you gonna hit me again? Does that make you feel tough beating up an 18-year-old kid? What's that say about you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel''': ''[about Danny]'' He's hurt. What did they do to him? :'''Monroe''': From now on, no one will touch him, Rachel. You can see him anytime you want. :'''Rachel''': As long as I tell you whatever you want? :'''Monroe''': Well, if I help you, then you help me. Rachel, for the last time, what was Ben working on? :'''Rachel''': We were both working on it. We worked together. I don't have all the specs. But if you want to turn the power back on, it starts with these pendants. There are 12 of them. === ''Sex and Drugs'' [1.06] === :'''Sgt. Strausser''': Would you like to hear the best advice I ever got? You need the right tool for the right job. I learned that from my father. He was a butcher by trade. And he didn't use any of those fancy bolt guns or electric saws they had before the blackout. No, he was an artiste. He'd slice a carcass from stem to stern in one swing, and then he'd go about carving through the muscle and the bone like brushstrokes on a canvas. It was something to see. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie''': You're the one always telling me to toughen up. You're right. The world's not a bunch of pretty postcards. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nora''': Aaron, what the hell did Miles get us into? :'''Aaron''': Kind of a long story. :''[Drexel hands over two guns]'' :'''Aaron''': Forget it. We are not doing this. :'''Drexel''': Come on, it's just fun and games. This game is about survival. Whoever shoots the other one first and kills them, wins. And the winner stays alive. I promise. Or you could refuse to play and I will shoot you both. Your call. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Drexel''': Now, don't get any funny ideas about shooting me, 'cause this baby is armored. Ready? On three. One... :'''Aaron''': I'm not gonna shoot you. :'''Drexel''': Two... :'''Aaron''': But I want you to shoot me. :'''Nora''': What? :'''Drexel''': Three! :'''Aaron''': Go ahead and shoot. :'''Nora''': You're crazy. :'''Drexel''': Come on! :'''Aaron''': Miles and Charlie need you. Nobody needs me. I can't help anyone. You can help get Danny. Please... Nora... Or he'll kill us both. === ''The Children's Crusade'' [1.07] === :'''Danny''': We're sitting in a cage and you're acting like nothing's wrong. :'''Rachel''': We have food. We have beds. It could get worse. A lot worse. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Coming across a bunch of orphaned children who have survived on their own]'' :'''Aaron''': Awesome. It's like a pack of hairless Ewoks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aaron''': What's up with Miles? :'''Nora''': What do you mean? :'''Aaron''': I mean the guy has raised dickishness to an art form and suddenly he's down to rescue some strange kid. That doesn't surprise you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': ''[to Charlie]'' It's irritating when a dumb kid tells you what to do, isn't it! === ''Ties That Bind'' [1.08] === :'''Miles''': Corporal. :'''Sgt. Strausser''': I'm a Sergeant now. :'''Miles''': Well, let's be honest, you're a sociopath, is what you are. Before the blackout, you were locked in a rubber room. :'''Sgt. Strausser''': Did you ever consider that maybe society was sick, not me? :'''Miles''': ''[with all his snarky panache]'' No. I never considered that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': What do you think will happen if Monroe figures out that necklace? :'''Aaron''': I don't know. He'll turn the lights on and buy the world a Coke? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strausser''': ''[handing over the pendant]'' With my compliments, sir. :'''Monroe''': Thank you for your loyalty. I'll make sure you're properly rewarded. :'''Strausser''': Thank you sir. :'''Monroe''': So much fuss for such a little thing. === ''Kashmir'' [1.09] === :'''Charlie''': You look terrible. :'''Miles''': ''[winking]'' That's part of the charm. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nora''': You have any idea what's on the other side of that door? :'''Miles''': We're probably walking straight into a militia ambush. :'''Aaron''': Well, that will be par for the course at least. :'''Miles''': Are you ready to do this? :'''Charlie''': Are you? :'''Miles''': Not really. But, what the hell, huh? === ''Nobody's Fault But Mine'' [1.10] === :'''Monroe''': Did you hear we're running out of bullets? :'''Miles''': What? :'''Monroe''': We've been shooting so many rounds for so many years, at all these bandits, all these militias, we're running low. We're gonna have to ration. Or start using swords. We'll be like pirates. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Sebastian 'Bass' Monroe, depressed and drinking near some freshly dug graves]'' :'''Miles''': Been looking for you. What are you doing? :'''Monroe''': Uh... I... I was just having a little family dinner. :'''Miles''': Okay... Come on Bass. Let's go. :'''Monroe''': You know I always thought I'd be dead by now. I mean that's logical right? High risk gig, two tours in Iraq. My folks... My little sisters... On the way to a freakin' Harry Potter movie, one drunk driver later they're scraping them off the ground. How do you screw that? :'''Miles''': You don't... I mean... I don't know. :'''Monroe''' Should have been me. :'''Miles''': Hey come on, man. :'''Monroe''': I got nothing left. I got.. I got nothing.. left. :'''Miles''': : Well, you got me. :''[Bass laughs in anguish]'' :'''Miles''': I mean, what the hell would I be without you? We've been brothers our whole lives. Since we were kids. Bass, give me the gun before you do something stupid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': ''[to Monroe]'' You're not the same person. You're too far gone. I see it now. We are not family, not anymore. I have a family. You are nothing to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Neville''': You know... I know you. I recognized you the minute I laid eyes - 'That's Aaron Pittman, the wizard of Google'. You've been on the cover of Wired magazine more times than I can count. I bet you were high and mighty when the lights were on. I bet you'd boss around those poor bastards in their tiny cubicles. I was one of those poor bastards myself. But now, look at you, and look at me. Now you need Miles saving your fat pockmarked ass. In fact, that's exactly what I'm counting on. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeremy''': ''[seeing Rachel with Miles]'' Miles, you are like a bad penny, man. == Cast == * [[w:Billy Burke (actor)|Billy Burke]] - Miles Matheson * [[w:Tracy Spiridakos|Tracy Spiridakos]] - Charlotte Matheson aka Charlie * [[w:Elizabeth Mitchell|Elizabeth Mitchell]] - Rachel Matheson * [[w:Tim Guinee|Tim Guinee]] - Ben Matheson * [[w:David Lyons|David Lyons]] - Sebastian Monroe * [[w:Giancarlo Esposito|Giancarlo Esposito]] - Captain/Major Tom Neville * [[w:Daniella Alonso|Daniella Alonso]] - Nora Clayton * [[w:Zak Orth|Zak Orth]] - Aaron Pittman == External links == {{wikipedia|Revolution (TV series)}} *{{Official website|http://www.nbc.com/revolution}} * {{imdb title|2070791|Revolution}} [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:NBC shows]] [[Category:2010s American drama TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American science fiction TV shows]] 27ofkt94nhgws5ipryhif9230ff4qvd Batman: Arkham City 0 140848 3147816 3004682 2022-07-26T22:02:05Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* Dialogue */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Batman: Arkham City|Batman: Arkham City]]''''' is a 2011 [[w:Action-adventure game|action-adventure]] [[w:video game|video game]] developed by [[w:Rocksteady Studios|Rocksteady Studios]] and released by [[w:Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment|Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]]. ''Arkham City'' is written by veteran ''Batman'' writer [[w:Paul Dini|Paul Dini]] with Paul Crocker and Sefton Hill, and is based on the franchise's long-running comic book mythos. In the game's main storyline, Batman is incarcerated in Arkham City, a massive new super-prison enclosing the decaying urban slums of fictional [[w:Gotham City|Gotham City]]. He must uncover the secret behind Arkham's sinister Protocol 10 while protecting inmates from the notorious criminals housed there. The game's leading characters are predominantly voiced by actors from the [[w:DC animated universe|DC Animated Universe]], with [[w:Kevin Conroy|Kevin Conroy]] and [[w:Mark Hamill|Mark Hamill]] reprising their roles as Batman and the [[w:Joker (comics)|Joker]], respectively. == Batman/Bruce Wayne == * ''[to Catwoman]'' You're not safe here... no one is. * This is not a time for negotiation. * ''[to Mr. Freeze]'' Today is not a good day to push me, Victor. * Where's Ra's? If he's dead again, I need you to wake him up. * ''[to Ra's Al Ghul]'' You've become what you've always fought against, and I will stop you. == The Joker == * Good evening, troops! This is General J with a quick update on what's going down here in Arkham City. As you can see, I'm looking much better. In fact... Ohhhh. I think I'm looking better than ever. Ha! Oh, I can hear you all now: "How did this happen?" "Can I get me some of that crazy cure?!" "I want answers, damn it! Now!" Well, here's the thing. Answers don't give you everlasting satisfaction. Sometimes you need to brace yourself for disappointment. Think about it. Imagine your favourite TV show. You've been through it all. The ups, the downs, the crazy coincidences, and then: Bang! They tell you what it's all about. Would you be happy? Does it make sense? How come it all [[w:Lost (TV series)|ended in a church]]? You guys just need to know one simple thing. I'm back. Back for good! Now arm yourselves, boys. We've got a prison break to plan. No hostages. No surrender. Oh, I know. It sounds like suicide, but listen. Whatever happens. I'll be right behind you. == Catwoman/Selina Kyle == * ''[after dodging a sniper bullet]'' This place is dangerous... I like it! * Sorry to disappoint you boys. It's just little ol' me. == Professor Hugo Strange == * How does it feel, Wayne, to stand on the very stones that ran with your parents' blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings, hiding your true self? Oh, you are a truly extraordinary specimen. I look forward to breaking you... * I feel I should thank you. Capturing Bruce Wayne is so much easier than capturing Batman, and now that we have you, Protocol 10 is ready to commence. It will be my legacy. A monument to your failure. And if you try to stop me, I guarantee everyone will know your secret. * Lower your weapons. Mr. Wayne will not be any trouble, will you, Mr. Wayne? The cuffs can stay on. We don't want to make things too easy for him. * Stop right there, Batman! We need to talk, and I know you wouldn't be able to live with yourself if your actions caused this poor man to die... I have a question for you. Before my arrival, this city was drowning under a tide of filth. Had you ever considered that all this is ''your fault''? Your presence creates these animals. Like germs they spread. You created the environment that allowed the germ to mutate, to become stronger. Look at the Joker. Would he even ''exist'' if not for you? It must be depressing: all your sacrifices and yet you are the one to blame! Oh, this is beautiful! We have at long last defeated the great Batman! Soon, I will take my rightful place at my Master's side... We will rule over this world... So thank you, Batman, for all your help... Now... '''KILL HIM!''' * ''[Final words]'' Computer: Activate Protocol 11... Passcode: Wayne... == Mr. Freeze/Dr. Victor Fries == * I will turn your blood to ice! * Death is cold, Batman. * You will bring me Nora... or you will die! * Have you ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within? * You are in my world now, Batman. * I learn from my mistakes, Batman. Do you? == Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot == * Welcome to hell! * ''[to Batman]'' Look around you. This horrible bunch of psychopaths are all begging to join up with me, but unfortunately for them, I only take the best. And today, the best means whoever can kill you. Come on out, lads, it's initiation time. * Nighty-night! ''[knocks out Wayne]'' * What the hell is happening down there? Hello! Is someone gonna answer me? I give you one simple task: stick up a couple of freaking machines. And what? You couldn't even get that right? I hope Batman broke every bone in your stupid bodies. I hope you lie in there, desperately trying to breathe through fractured ribs and punctured lungs. And if you're not, you better summon whatever strength you've got left and run. 'Cause after I'm done with the bat, you're all next! * ''[to Batman]'' Hold still, ya wanker! == The Riddler/Edward Nygma == * Do you admit that I am smarter than a bat? * You are all experiencing fear in anticipation of some specific pain or danger. This is perfectly understandable. * Explore! Find my challenges! And when you fail to solve them and lie blubbering like an ignorant child on the floor, you will know, that the Riddler is better than you! ==Other== :'''Commissioner Gordon''': What the hell happened in there? Batman, what happened? :'''Harley Quinn''': Shhhhh, there there...

Why spoil the fun? :'''Batman''': It was all a lie. There's nothing wrong with you. :'''Joker''': Nice of you to say, but you of all people should know… there's ''plenty'' wrong with me. ''[holds up a vial of his blood]'' Take my blood for example. I wish somebody would… This stuff is killing me! :'''Batman''': Why should I care? :'''Joker''': Because now there's a ''teeny'' little bit of me in you too, Bats. Oh, come on. Don't tell me it's not what you always wanted. Look, we're running out of time, I need your help. I nearly had a cure; it was so close and then it was taken from me. :'''Batman''': So we both die. I'm fine with that. :'''Joker''': Are you?

But so what? We all know you'll save me. :'''Batman''': ''[pondering whether or not to give the cure to the Joker]'' Every decision you've ever made ends with death and misery. People die.

I planted a teeny-tiny little idea in your head. A sort of remote hypnotic suggestion, very complicated stuff. I'm sure you wouldn't understand, but as you can see, it worked! You're mine now! You're mine, and there's nothing that Strange can do about it. Oh, are you not going to drink your tea? It's special tea! My special tea! My "specialty".

Interactive Entertainment|Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]]. ''Arkham City'' is written by veteran ''Batman'' writer [[w:Paul Dini|Paul Dini]] with Paul Crocker and Sefton Hill, and is based on the franchise's long-running comic book mythos. In the game's main storyline, Batman is incarcerated in Arkham City, a massive new super-prison enclosing the decaying urban slums of fictional [[w:Gotham City|Gotham City]]. He must uncover the secret behind Arkham's sinister Protocol 10 while protecting inmates from the notorious criminals housed there. The game's leading characters are predominantly voiced by actors from the [[w:DC animated universe|DC Animated Universe]], with [[w:Kevin Conroy|Kevin Conroy]] and [[w:Mark Hamill|Mark Hamill]] reprising their roles as Batman and the [[w:Joker (comics)|Joker]], respectively. == Batman/Bruce Wayne == * ''[to Catwoman]'' You're not safe here... no one is. * This is not a time for negotiation. * ''[to Mr. Freeze]'' Today is not a good day to push me, Victor. * Where's Ra's? If he's dead again, I need you to wake him up. * ''[to Ra's Al Ghul]'' You've become what you've always fought against, and I will stop you. == The Joker == * Good evening, troops! This is General J with a quick update on what's going down here in Arkham City. As you can see, I'm looking much better. In fact... Ohhhh. I think I'm looking better than ever. Ha! Oh, I can hear you all now: "How did this happen?" "Can I get me some of that crazy cure?!" "I want answers, damn it! Now!" Well, here's the thing. Answers don't give you everlasting satisfaction. Sometimes you need to brace yourself for disappointment. Think about it. Imagine your favourite TV show. You've been through it all. The ups, the downs, the crazy coincidences, and then: Bang! They tell you what it's all about. Would you be happy? Does it make sense? How come it all [[w:Lost (TV series)|ended in a church]]? You guys just need to know one simple thing. I'm back. Back for good! Now arm yourselves, boys. We've got a prison break to plan. No hostages. No surrender. Oh, I know. It sounds like suicide, but listen. Whatever happens. I'll be right behind you. == Catwoman/Selina Kyle == * ''[after dodging a sniper bullet]'' This place is dangerous... I like it! * Sorry to disappoint you boys. It's just little ol' me. == Professor Hugo Strange == * How does it feel, Wayne, to stand on the very stones that ran with your parents' blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings, hiding your true self? Oh, you are a truly extraordinary specimen. I look forward to breaking you... * I feel I should thank you. Capturing Bruce Wayne is so much easier than capturing Batman, and now that we have you, Protocol 10 is ready to commence. It will be my legacy. A monument to your failure. And if you try to stop me, I guarantee everyone will know your secret. * Lower your weapons. Mr. Wayne will not be any trouble, will you, Mr. Wayne? The cuffs can stay on. We don't want to make things too easy for him. * Stop right there, Batman! We need to talk, and I know you wouldn't be able to live with yourself if your actions caused this poor man to die... I have a question for you. Before my arrival, this city was drowning under a tide of filth. Had you ever considered that all this is ''your fault''? Your presence creates these animals. Like germs they spread. You created the environment that allowed the germ to mutate, to become stronger. Look at the Joker. Would he even ''exist'' if not for you? It must be depressing: all your sacrifices and yet you are the one to blame! Oh, this is beautiful! We have at long last defeated the great Batman! Soon, I will take my rightful place at my Master's side... We will rule over this world... So thank you, Batman, for all your help... Now... '''KILL HIM!''' * ''[Final words]'' Computer: Activate Protocol 11... Passcode: Wayne... == Mr. Freeze/Dr. Victor Fries == * I will turn your blood to ice! * Death is cold, Batman. * You will bring me Nora... or you will die! * Have you ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within? * You are in my world now, Batman. * I learn from my mistakes, Batman. Do you? == Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot == * Welcome to hell! * ''[to Batman]'' Look around you. This horrible bunch of psychopaths are all begging to join up with me, but unfortunately for them, I only take the best. And today, the best means whoever can kill you. Come on out, lads, it's initiation time. * Nighty-night! ''[knocks out Wayne]'' * What the hell is happening down there? Hello! Is someone gonna answer me? I give you one simple task: stick up a couple of freaking machines. And what? You couldn't even get that right? I hope Batman broke every bone in your stupid bodies. I hope you lie in there, desperately trying to breathe through fractured ribs and punctured lungs. And if you're not, you better summon whatever strength you've got left and run. 'Cause after I'm done with the bat, you're all next! * ''[to Batman]'' Hold still, ya wanker! == The Riddler/Edward Nygma == * Do you admit that I am smarter than a bat? * You are all experiencing fear in anticipation of some specific pain or danger. This is perfectly understandable. * Explore! Find my challenges! And when you fail to solve them and lie blubbering like an ignorant child on the floor, you will know, that the Riddler is better than you! ==Other== :'''Commissioner Gordon''': What the hell happened in there? Batman, what happened? :'''Harley Quinn''': Shhhhh, there there... ''[singing]'' Hush, little baby, don't say a word / Momma's gonna kill for you the whole damn world. :'''Two-Face''': ''[to Catwoman]'' Heads or tail, kitty cat? :'''Tyger 4''': We have positive ID on Batman. He is kicking all kinds of ass down there. ==Dialogue== :''[Opening Lines, amidst shock torture]'' :'''Hugo Strange''': Wake up, Mr. Wayne. We have much to discuss... :'''Bruce Wayne''': ...Strange? You won't get away with this! :'''Hugo Strange''': I already have. ''(Shocks Wayne again)'' I assume that you thought yourself untouchable? Well, as you can see, ''no one'' is untouchable. ''(Shocks him again)'' :'''Bruce Wayne''': Shut Arkham City down! It's out of control! :'''Hugo Strange''': ''Shut it down?'' By the end of tonight, I will be a hero. Just like you... '''BATMAN!''' <hr width=50%/> :'''Joker''': Get back here, Harley! ''[coughs]'' :'''Harley Quinn''': But I want to know who he is, sweetie. :'''Joker''': No one's who you think they are, my dear. Why spoil the fun? :'''Batman''': It was all a lie. There's nothing wrong with you. :'''Joker''': Nice of you to say, but you of all people should know… there's ''plenty'' wrong with me. ''[holds up a vial of his blood]'' Take my blood for example. I wish somebody would… This stuff is killing me! :'''Batman''': Why should I care? :'''Joker''': Because now there's a teeny little bit of me in you too, Bats. ''[Batman turns around to see that Joker has injected his own blood in him]'' Oh, come on. Don't tell me it's not what you always wanted. Look, we're running out of time, I need your help. I nearly had a cure; it was so close and then it was taken from me. :'''Batman''': So we both die. I'm fine with that. :'''Joker''': Are you? Imagine, sucking down that last breath, knowing that Gotham is doing the same. :'''Batman''': What are you talking about? :'''Joker''': Oh, didn't I say? I've spent weeks shipping samples of my blood to emergency rooms all over the city. :'''Batman''': So, that's Protocol Ten. Poison Gotham. I expected more. :'''Joker''': Protocol Ten? ''[gasps]'' Never heard of it. ''[leans into Batman's ear]'' Hold tight! ''[kicks Batman's wheelchair, bursting him out through the window]'' I'll be in touch! <hr width=50%/> :'''Batman''': Let's just talk about this… :'''Joker''': Now you want to talk? :''[pointing a gun to Talia's head]'' :'''Joker''': Too late, Batman! <hr width=50%/> :''[Batman, after drinking a portion of the cure and destroying the machinery that operates the Lazarus Pit, wakes up after being knocked out.

I'll be right behind you. == Catwoman/Selina Kyle == * ''[after dodging a sniper bullet]'' This place is dangerous... I like it! * Sorry to disappoint you boys. It's just little ol' me. == Professor Hugo Strange == * How does it feel, Wayne, to stand on the very stones that ran with your parents' blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings, hiding your true self? Oh, you are a truly extraordinary specimen. I look forward to breaking you... * I feel I should thank you. Capturing Bruce Wayne is so much easier than capturing Batman, and now that we have you, Protocol 10 is ready to commence. It will be my legacy. A monument to your failure. And if you try to stop me, I guarantee everyone will know your secret. * Lower your weapons. Mr. Wayne will not be any trouble, will you, Mr. Wayne? The cuffs can stay on. We don't want to make things too easy for him. * Stop right there, Batman! We need to talk, and I know you wouldn't be able to live with yourself if your actions caused this poor man to die... I have a question for you. Before my arrival, this city was drowning under a tide of filth. Had you ever considered that all this is ''your fault''? Your presence creates these animals. Like germs they spread. You created the environment that allowed the germ to mutate, to become stronger. Look at the Joker. Would he even ''exist'' if not for you? It must be depressing: all your sacrifices and yet you are the one to blame! Oh, this is beautiful! We have at long last defeated the great Batman! Soon, I will take my rightful place at my Master's side... We will rule over this world... So thank you, Batman, for all your help... Now... '''KILL HIM!''' * ''[Final words]'' Computer: Activate Protocol 11... Passcode: Wayne... == Mr. Freeze/Dr. Victor Fries == * I will turn your blood to ice! * Death is cold, Batman. * You will bring me Nora... or you will die! * Have you ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within? * You are in my world now, Batman. * I learn from my mistakes, Batman. Do you? == Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot == * Welcome to hell! * ''[to Batman]'' Look around you. This horrible bunch of psychopaths are all begging to join up with me, but unfortunately for them, I only take the best. And today, the best means whoever can kill you. Come on out, lads, it's initiation time. * Nighty-night! ''[knocks out Wayne]'' * What the hell is happening down there? Hello! Is someone gonna answer me? I give you one simple task: stick up a couple of freaking machines. And what? You couldn't even get that right? I hope Batman broke every bone in your stupid bodies. I hope you lie in there, desperately trying to breathe through fractured ribs and punctured lungs. And if you're not, you better summon whatever strength you've got left and run. 'Cause after I'm done with the bat, you're all next! * ''[to Batman]'' Hold still, ya wanker! == The Riddler/Edward Nygma == * Do you admit that I am smarter than a bat? * You are all experiencing fear in anticipation of some specific pain or danger. This is perfectly understandable. * Explore! Find my challenges! And when you fail to solve them and lie blubbering like an ignorant child on the floor, you will know, that the Riddler is better than you! ==Other== :'''Commissioner Gordon''': What the hell happened in there?

I wish somebody would… This stuff is killing me! :'''Batman''': Why should I care? :'''Joker''': Because now there's a teeny little bit of me in you too, Bats.

Imagine, sucking down that last breath, knowing that Gotham is doing the same. :'''Batman''': What are you talking about? :'''Joker''': Oh, didn't I say?

I repeat, Catwoman is in the courthouse. :'''Hugo Strange''': Is she in danger? :'''Tyger 4''': Affirmative. Target is being held by Dent. We believe he intends to kill her. How should we proceed? :'''Hugo Strange''': ''[chuckles]'' Stand down. Let Two Face have his fun. :'''Tyger 4''': Understood. :'''Batman''': That doesn't sound good. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jack Ryder''': Bruce Wayne? Great, here I was reporting on your crummy press conference, and now here we both are. I guess that'll teach you to get involved in politics, won't it? :'''Bruce Wayne''': Listen to me carefully, when they open the door, do not panic. Stay close to me. :'''Jack Ryder''': Do you think I'm taking advice from some guy who's never even been in a fight? <hr width=50%/> :''[After Catwoman's failed attempt to retrieve Ivy's plant from the TYGER vault]'' :'''Poison Ivy''': Where have you been?! Where is my... You haven't got it, have you? :'''Catwoman''': Yeah, about that. Look, Red, it wasn't my fault. Strange didn't-- :'''Poison Ivy''': I'll kill him! :'''Catwoman''': Be my guest. :'''Poison Ivy''': I'll kill all of you! :'''Catwoman''': Okay, then... I think I'll be going now. :'''Poison Ivy''': Yes, go! Join the rest of the meat. I'll destroy them all. First Strange, then Gotham - no one will be safe! <hr width=50%/> :'''Mad Hatter''': Are you Alice? :'''Catwoman''': Sorry, Jervis, it's me - Catwoman? :'''Mad Hatter''': Alice! I need my Alice...! :'''Catwoman''': Wow, Strange really did a number on you, didn't he? Listen, I'm going to go and find Alice, okay? I hear she's with the Cheshire Cat... somewhere. <hr width=50%/> :'''Catwoman''': Well, isn't this nice? I guess Batman found your wife after all. :'''Mr. Freeze''': Yes. My beautiful Nora is now safe. :'''Catwoman''': So, is now a good time to talk to you about an idea I had to steal the Pharoah's diamond from the Egyptian Museum? It's really hot there and, well, all this latex really makes a girl sweat...! :'''Mr. Freeze''': ''[sternly]'' Leave me with my wife, Catwoman. :'''Catwoman''': Just asking, Freeze, just asking. <hr width=50%/> :'''Catwoman''': ''[sees Penguin trapped in a display case]'' What the hell are you supposed to be? :'''Penguin''': Piss off! :'''Catwoman''': Really? Okay, if you insist. Oh, I forgot to say: speak to me like that again, Penguin, and I'll show you just what it feels like for a poor little bird to be torn apart by a cat. :'''Penguin''': Please, don't hurt me! I didn't mean it! :'''Catwoman''': That's much nicer. See, you can be nice, Oswald. See you around. == External links == {{wikipedia}} *{{imdb title|1568322/|Batman: Arkham City}} [[Category:DC Comics]] [[Category:2011 video games]] [[Category:Batman: Arkham (series)]] r4q5imkdhlu8tqr8xra0qdpag01brdt WCW Monday Nitro 0 141290 3147976 3091828 2022-07-27T02:30:56Z Eaglestorm 16205 /* March 19 */ wikitext text/x-wiki [[w:WCW Monday Nitro|WCW Monday Nitro]] was a professional wrestling program that aired on TNT Monday nights from September 4th, 1995 to March 26 2001. == 1995 == === September 4 === :''[Recent ex-WWF talent Lex Luger shows up at the beginning of the Sting/Ric Flair matchup.]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': ''[notices Lex]'' Oooh, what in the hell is he doing here?!

Where is Billionaire Ted? Where is the Nacho Man? That punk can't even get in the building. Me, I go wherever I want, whenever I want. And where, oh where is Scheme Gene? 'Cause I've got a scoop for you. When that Ken-doll lookalike, when that weatherman wannabe comes out here later tonight, I got a challenge for him, for Billionaire Ted, for the Nacho Man and for anybody else in uh...WCW, huh-huh-huh.

Who's we? :'''Hall''': You know who. This is where the "big boys play"? What a joke! I tell you what, you go tell Billionaire Ted, you tell him, "Get three of his very very best." Maybe the Nacho Man! "Oooooooh....No." Hey, maybe he can get the Stinger! Ooooh, I'm so scared. You go get anybody you want because we... :'''Eric''': Who do you mean "We"? :'''Hall''': We are taking over. You wanna go to war? You wanna war? You got one. Only, only let's do it right. In the ring where it matters. Not in no microphones. Not in no newspapers or dirtsheets. Let's do it in the ring where it matters.

Yo, Ken Doll, I had such a good time last week that I came back for more. :'''Eric''': Look there's no reason... :'''Scott Hall''': Look, look, look, relax man, relax. You started it. You want to go to war? You got a war. You started it, we gonna finish it. :'''Eric''': What do you mean "We"? You come up with this We stuff. :'''Scott Hall''': You know who man. You know who. Did Daddy Warbucks? Did he get his money yet? :'''Eric''': ''[sees [[w:Steve Borden|Sting]] come out]'' Wait a minute, Stinger. Not here, not now. Don't even dignify it man. :'''Sting''': You came out here last week and said some real horrible things about WCW. Some real horrible things about the Hulkster, about the Macho Man, about the Stinger. Somewhere along the way, you got lost because do you have any idea where you are? You're in the jungle baby! This is WCW! That's right! Hold on! And every week you come out here and you say you want three of the best. :'''Scott Hall''': That's right man, three of the best. :'''Sting''': You want three of the best, I don't see two of you. All I see is you and me. So why don't we just do this one on one right here, right now! :'''Scott Hall''': Yo, yo, you wanna fight man? You wanna fight? You got one. Only, no one tells me what to do and ''chico'', nobody tells me when to do it. ''[throws his toothpick at Sting. Sting responds by slapping Hall]'' Ok, ok tough guy. I got a little, no, I got big surprise for you next week. === June 10=== :''[Scott Hall shows up again]'' :'''Eric''': Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't want any trouble from you. I don't want any trouble with you here, now, but I don't have to point out. You came out here last week. Where is it, the big surprise? I mean I heard a lot of talk but where's the walk? ''[Hall points behind Eric]'' What? Where is he? :''[Kevin Nash, formerly known as Diesel in the WWF, appears from behind and grabs the mike]'' :'''Kevin Nash''': You've been sitting out here for six months running your mouth. This is where the big boys play, huh? Look at the adjective, play [''sic'']. We ain't here to play! Now, he ''[referring to Hall]'' said last week that he was going to bring somebody out here. I'm here. You still don't have your three people and do you know why? Because nobody wants to face us. This show's about as interesting as Marge Schott reading excerpts from ''Mein Kampf''. :'''Eric''': No trouble tonight, man. Speak your piece and... :'''Nash''': Yeah, no trouble cause you know, I'll kick your teeth down your throat. Where are these three guys? You know you couldn't get a paleontologist to get these fossils cleared? You ain't got enough guys off a dialysis machine to get a team? Yeah, where's [[w:Hulk Hogan|Hogan]]? Where's Hogan? Out doing another episode of ''[[w:Thunder in Paradise|Blunder in Paradise]]''? Where's the Macho Man huh? Doing some Slim Jim commercial? Hey, we're here! You wanna say something? :'''Eric''': Look, I don't have the authority right here right now. You want a fight? Fight isn't within me. You want to face three guys? Tomorrow morning at 9:00, I'm going to be in Atlanta. I'll be in the offices of WCW. I'll try and get you your fight and do you know what? Live this Sunday in Baltimore, Great American Bash, you guys want to show up? You want a fight? You show up and I'll see if I can get you your fight. :'''Nash''': I don't know about you but they love us in Baltimore. :'''Scott Hall''': Hey big man, I say me and you, we be at the Bash. Maybe these punks want a fight. :'''Nash''': Yeah, bring what you got! The measuring stick just changed around here buddy. You're looking at it. ''[Tosses Bischoff around before he and Hall leave]'' ===July 8=== :'''Mean Gene Okerlund''': Sting, a very somber mood tonight. I can't believe it. I can feel it, you can feel it. These people continue to make our lives very very tenuous. They did it again tonight right in the middle of your match with Arn Anderson. But lets go back to last night. What's your sense of what's happened at the ''Bash at the Beach''? :'''Sting''': I am not at all surprised. What happened last night, I'm not surprised about coming from the two outsiders. But I will say I'm very very surprised at you Hulk Hogan. But I should've known. I should've known that when you were traveling to every town in that big fat limo. I should've known because you didn't want to travel with the Macho Man, the Total Package and the Stinger. Uhn-uhn, you were too busy making big movies and coming in for a little cameo appearance! You were too busy walking on the dark side! I should've known when you referred to the Macho Man, the Total Package and me as "three little dogs" waiting for a chance to wrestle the great Hulk Hogan. I should've known when I looked into your eyes. Do you know something, I made a mistake. But you made a bigger mistake because last night, you wiped out and trashed every single little kid, every single person that was a part of your life, that patterned their life after you! You told them to believe in the man upstairs! You told them to say their prayers and to take their vitamins! You told them to believe in themselves and you know something? It's a good thing you told them to believe in themselves because they sure as heck can't believe in you! :'''Mean Gene''': By the way-- :'''Sting''': ''[grabs mike]'' And last but not least, to put the cherry on the top, all those little kids, you told them to stick it! No, you stick it Hulk! YOU STICK IT! :'''Mean Gene''': That is very strong. By the way, as fate would have it, these two men and their partner last night. Lex Luger got knocked out early by the action so the two of you had to go at it against the Outsiders. But Macho Man Randy Savage, you were very close with Hulk Hogan as I was. You were part of the Mega Powers. And if anybody got it stuck up, stuck up, well, stuck to him, you really got it stuck to you. :'''Randy Savage''': I got a message for Hollywood Hogan. What I want to tell you and what I want to do to you, I can't say here on television especially at Disney. But you take the worst thing you can think about and you multiply it by the number nine million and then you multiply it by infinity and beyond, it would be just like one grain of sand in the Sahara desert brother. Because, it's really really scary. What I'm thinking and going to do to you, yeah! === July 15th === :'''[[w:Gene Okerlund|Mean Gene]]''': Hulk Hogan, Outsiders, you have led us down the primrose path! :'''Hulk Hogan''': Well you know something Gene-o, I wish I would've done this two years ago brother because the New World Order is taking over professional wrestling. Hulk Hogan is bigger than the sport of professional wrestling. And with the Outsiders, the new blood, the foundation of the New World Order, we shall rule the wrestling world Mean Gene! :'''Mean Gene''': [[What about the children]]? You know about the thousands and thousands of telephone calls that came into WCW. Every man, woman and child on the face of the earth is totally disgusted with you Hulk Hogan, including myself! :'''Hulk Hogan''': We all know about the training, the prayers and the vitamins brother and like I said, these people out here, after I led their children down the right path had the gall to boo Hulk Hogan one more time. You fans can stick it brother! :'''Mean Gene''': Wait a minute, I think Sting and Eric Bischoff brought it up earlier on. I think Sting said it best earlier on when he retorted "Hulk Hogan, ''you'' can stick it!" :'''Hulk Hogan''': Well you know something brother, as far as people like Sting go, ten years ago when I shook his hand in Venice Beach, he was a skinny little bodybuilder. And when he laid his eyes on Hulk Hogan, he was shaking in his boots. I heard all the crying from the so called Macho Man. For three years, he blamed his divorce, the fact that he couldn't rise to the occasion on Hulk Hogan brother. And over and over and over and over again this past week, I've heard WCW blame Hulk Hogan for their problems. The only problem is I'm the greatest wrestler in the world, I made professional wrestling, I will always be bigger than wrestling and with these two friends of mine, the New World Order shall rule the wrestling world! :'''Eric''': This conceited jerk! :'''Mean Gene''': You call these guys friends? You know about this man's background and this man's background, this nWo, Where is it going to go? Who's going to be a part of it? I think that's the question we're all asking ourselves and I'm going to ask you. :'''Hulk Hogan''': Well these are the renegades brother! These are the men that when I open the door brother, they had the guts enough to walk through it. These are the guys that are going to set the trend for the nineties. They will lead Hulk Hogan and professional wrestling to its destiny. But these guys are just the foundation. The thing that everybody, the people out there don't realize is as I build my empire, will there be more outsiders that I bring in? Or will it be people that are so close to Ted Turner, maybe Eric Bischoff's friends. Who knows man? Maybe the guys that are in the locker room right now. There's always been a double loyalty man. In this business, they've been loyal to the promoters who have paid their bills and they've also been loyal to Hulk Hogan. Because they know where Hulk Hogan goes, that's where professional wrestling goes. :'''Mean Gene''': You have to vent all of this on these people, the peers of this business. How about the kids that have looked up to you for years and years and now it comes down to this? And this is a pretty good example of the way your life is going to go Hulk Hogan. :'''Hulk Hogan''': Well you know dude, I laid it out straight for all those kids, brother. They didn't want to follow the path, so I'm done with them! But as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to mess with that skinny little Macho Man or that crybaby Sting. I'm going right to the top of the ladder, brother! And at ''Hog Wild'', brother, on August the 10th, if the [[w:Paul Wight|Giant]] has got guts enough, I'm going to dismantle the whole Ted Turner organization in one night. We're going to take the WCW belt, make it the New World Order belt and we shall reign supreme from that day forward. And as far as I'm concerned brother, if Ted Turner has any boys in the back that have any guts at all, come on out right now! We'll beat up the whole WCW right now, and what are they gonna do?!! === September 16=== :''[Sting comes down to the ring with a microphone]'' :'''Sting''': ''[with his back turned to the main camera]'' I want a chance to explain something that happened last Monday night on ''Nitro''. Last Monday night, I was on an airplane flying from L.A. to Atlanta. When I got to Atlanta, I tuned in the TV to ''Nitro'' and I thought I was watching a rerun. It was a very convincing film. Often imitated but never duplicated though and what else did I see? I saw people, I saw wrestlers, I saw commentators and I saw best friends, doubt the Stinger. That's right, doubt the Stinger. So, I heard Lex Luger say "I know where Sting lives, I know where he works out, I'm gonna go get him!" So I said to myself, "I'll just go into [[seclusion]]. I'll wait and see what happens on ''Saturday Night''." And I tuned in ''Saturday Night'' and what did I see? I saw more of the same, more doubt. Which brings me to ''Fall Brawl''. I knew I had to get to ''Fall Brawl'' to get face to face with the Total Package to let him know that it wasn't me and what I got out of that was, "No, Sting. I DON'T BELEIVE YOU STING!" Well, all I've got to say is, I have been mediator, I have been babysitter, I've given him the benefit of the doubt about a thousand times in the last twelve months! I have carried the WCW banner and I have given my blood, my sweat and my tears for WCW! So for all of those fans out there and all of those wrestlers and people who've never doubted the Stinger, I'll stand by you if you stand by me. But, for all of the people, all of the commentators, all of the wrestlers and all of the best friends who did doubt me, you can stick it! From now on, I consider myself a free agent. But that doesn't mean you won't see the Stinger. From time to time, I'm going to pop in when you least expect it. === November 18=== :''[The show opens with the Outsiders in the ring with chairs having laid out the Nasty Boys and High Voltage. They go down to ringside where Tony and Larry are standing.]'' :'''Larry''': Not again. Not again with this! :'''Tony''': What's the problem here? :'''Kevin Nash''': Does this work? Nice to see you dressed up this week, Larry! (to Tony) Hey, I don't see you laughing today huh? :'''Scott Hall''': Funny guy, huh? :'''Kevin Nash''': I was so funny last week right? Funny like a clown right? Were you laughing at me? I ain't so funny tonight am I? You see, we can put this on any time we want. I can be funny, I can be deadly and so can this man! Hey, let me ask you a question. :'''Scott Hall''': You got the bad neck, right? :'''Kevin Nash''': You got the bad neck, right? Do you want to pick up your kids, huh? :'''Tony''': (to Larry who's not standing up for Tony) Do you want to step in here? :'''Larry''': Hey, you're the one that laughed at them. They let me know what I think. :'''Kevin Nash''': You talk about a triangle match, right? There's two of the combatants laid out right now. :'''Scott Hall''': You know, what I want to know is I've been hearing my whole career how scary the Faces of Fear are. They say, everybody says that Meng and the Barbarian are the two toughest guys in the business. Well you tell those two islanders, come on out here and we'll slap that coconut breath out of you. Tell them to come on down. You can't have a Pay Per View in WCW without inviting the nWo. <hr width=50%> :'''Larry''': You can't be upset by what happened. These guys are thugs, they're paid by Dibiase and you're okay. So relax about it, don't be all upset. :'''Tony''': Yeah well, I don't need to be pushed around. I'm not a wrestler. You're a wrestler. So why didn't you step in front for me? How long have we been friends? :'''Larry''': You're okay and I'm not Clint Eastwood. :'''Tony''': Well I can only say this and I'm going to apologize to everybody because I've never done this before at all. But I don't need to be pushed around. I've got five children. I've got a wife. I've got a great job. I'll tell you what, big mouth! Why don't you go ahead? Why don't you go ahead and step in front of me? Why don't you handle the broadcast? Why don't you try play-by-play? :'''Larry''': Don't get upset! :'''Tony''': I don't need guys who are seven feet tall coming out here! (takes off his headset and walks away) :'''Larry''': I don't need guys seven feet tall either coming out here! == 1997 == ===February 10=== :''[Randy Anderson appears with his family to appeal to Eric Bischoff about hiring him back after the events of Souled Out]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': Kids come on up here. It's all right Randy. It's all right, kids, could you do me a favor. Would you please tell your daddy... that he's ''still fired? [NWO laughs]'' Would you do that for me? :'''Montana Anderson''': Please, Mr Bischoff! :'''Bischoff''': Montana please, tell your daddy he's fired, get on with his life. :'''Kevin Nash''': ''[mocks]'' Do it for little Tiny Tim! :'''Syxx''': God bless us everyone! <hr width=50%> :''[Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko review the Piper/Hogan match footage at Starrcade 1996 that Eric Bischoff confiscated and was somehow played, but when the tape suddenly stops as if it was taken off playback, just as Randy Anderson was about to count off Hogan as submitting to Piper...]'' :'''Tony Schiavone''': What's going on here? :'''Zbyszko''': Well that wasn't nothing... :'''Schiavone''': We did not get this - ''[talks to production crew on the headset]'' what happened? Can anybody tell me what happened? The tape stopped? The tape broke? :'''Zbyszko''': Well what happened was - :'''Schiavone''': Someone's getting the tape in the production truck :'''Zbyszko''': Who's in the truck? :'''Schiavone''': We're trying to find out fans, I apologize. I'm just talking to Craig Leathers, Keith Mitchell, in our video production truck. Someone apparently went and you hear the tape queueing up. You saw right there, I mean the hand was going up and it was gonna be the end of Hollywood Hulk Hogan with the sleeper. We all witnessed what happened, Eric Bischoff went into the video truck and grabbed the tape. :'''Zbyszko''': Well, anyway, the world saw what happened, we knew about it, now the missing footage had been recovered and what happened- :''[Eric Bischoff confronts the announcers with the tape]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': Don't you ever, don't you EVER, EVER, pull a stunt like that again.

You're fired! :'''Jett''': It's not fair :'''Bischoff''': It's not fair! Take those with you! ===September 1=== :''[the NWO comes out spoofing the Four Horsemen, with Kevin Nash as Arn Anderson]'' :'''Kevin Nash''': I take care of Horsemen business. Before I go any further: Let me all of the Horsemen out here know one thing: Guys, the beer is on ice. You know something, it's pretty ironic that on Labour Day WCW would decide to honor me cause anybody who followed my career knows one thing: You were always wondering when I was gonna go into labour. :You know I sat back that day and I watched that highlight tape of my career and I said to myself: You know: I'm a guy of average size, average speed, average quickness, average looks, average intelligence, average carpentry skills - but you know what? I parlayed that into a wrestling career that I might say so myself was quite excellent. But you know something? Four months ago, I had a neck injury. Subsequently I lost the feeling in my hand, my left hand. The significance of that: That's the hand I open beer with. But you know something? I willed myself back from that injury. I got to the gym - I didn't do anything there, I walked around - but I got to the gym. And you know what? I started a comeback. :But about a week ago, I went to the neighborhood bar, I bellied up against the bar like only I can and a fat broad - that's right, a fat broad - came up and smacked me in the back. That sent a chill down me... same fat broads that've been following the Horsemen for 20 years. But as I looked at that longneck laying on that cheap industrial grey carpentry, I said to myself: How ironic. That wasn't so much that I was out three dollars and 75 cents, what it was to me was sand tickin' down through the hourglass - and everybody knows, so are the days of our lives. ''[Syxx imitates Ric Flair crying]'' You know one thing you can say, when Arn Anderson was comin' to town - beside the fact that I left a lot of unpaid bar tabs - was Arn Anderson was comin' to town. And you knew if I was on the card, how I was gonna give you 100 per cent - no matter how drunk, how hung over I was. I was gonna give you all ahead. And back in those days before the nWo, you eight people that bought those tickets, got one heck of a show. But you know what? As I come out here tonight, I ask you people: Don't remember how I used to be. Remember me how I look right now. ''[to Konnan as Steve McMichael]'' Good, Mongo! :''[to Buff Bagwell as Curt Hennig]'' So Curt, that puts me and you and I got a challenge for you. Wait a second, I don't wanna fight you, cause I ain't want one for twenty years. What I got for you is a challenge, because as much as I wanna be a Horseman, I know if I come out here right now, I'd not only put him in danger, I would put my best friends in danger and I can't do that. So what I'm doing tonight is I got a challenge you and I ain't got much to offer you, cause the beer is already spoken for. But what I do got is I got a spot. A spot with the Four Horsemen. Not just a spot, not a liver spot, not a 'Spot' like your dog Spot. No, not just any spot – but myyyyy spot. So I need to know right now: Do you accept it? My spot - not their spot, liver spot, not dog Spot, not anybody's spot, MY spot to become a Four Horsemen. Not my spot, anybody's spot, dog Spot, liver spot, MY spot. ===September 15=== :''[The show opens with footage of Ric Flair after being stitched up in a hospital as a result of last night's Fall Brawl when Curt Hennig slammed the cage door in his head''] :'''Tony Schiavone''': ''[very shaken up]'' Fans, uh... ''Nitro'', as you can see, is on the air. Before I go into this card, I need to say something that I've really never said before. You know, 13 years ago, I got into this business because of Ric Flair. I was a minor league baseball announcer in this same city. He went to bat for me for the promoters and I became a wrestling announcer and when I look back on what has happened to me, I credit Ric Flair. And you have seen Ric Flair and what hap.......I can't do this show. I'm sorry. ''[takes off his headset and leaves]'' ===September 22=== :'''Mean Gene Okerlund''': That's very impressive, a gentleman the stature of Hugh Morrus, and you absolutely got in there and manhandled him tonight. ''[Bill Goldberg just walks away]'' Sir, I've got to get a little bit more than that. Gentleman's just walking away from me. :'''Larry Zbyszko''': Is he a mute? :'''Mean Gene''': I can't believe that. Tony, I haven't seen anything like that. Very impressive. But who is this guy Goldberg? ===November 17=== :'''Rick Rude''': Oh what a difference a day makes. Twenty-four little hours. You know and we all have our 15 minutes of fame and I'd like to take a couple of my 15 minutes to talk about the rights and the wrongs in the world of professional wrestling. What's wrong in the world of professional wrestling is Shawn Michaels claiming to be World Champion when he never beat Bret Hart. What's wrong with the world of professional wrestling is for Vince McMahon to instruct the [[w:Montreal Screwjob|referee to ring the bell]] in order to rob Bret Hart of his title. But on the other hand, what's right in the world of professional wrestling is for Bret Hart to abandon the Titanic and swim to the refuge of the nWo. What's right with the world of professional wrestling is nWo's course to destruct WCW. What's right with the world of professional wrestling is for the nWo to beat the living shhhh out of the man called Sting. Now the only thing wrong with that entire situation is that I didn't have the chance to participate. Sting second verse is gonna be same as the first. A little bit rowdier and a whole lot worse, because this time Sting I will partake. == 1998 == ===May 11=== :''[Eric Bischoff shoots on DX's recent assaults]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': As I look through the crowd tonight, I wonder what you must be thinking and I wonder what Vince McMahon is thinking. You know because for the last couple of weeks he's been sending his little wannabes around demanding to talk to ''moi''. The only problem with that is, he only sends them where he knows I'm not going to be. That's okay because I've got a little solution. Sean Waltman, you want an apology from me? You actually show up at our offices on a Monday afternoon when I think even you Sean are smart enough to figure out I probably wouldn't be there. As far as the apology goes - bite me! I apologize to no one. :But I've got a better idea because, Sean, I know you're just a little puppet and you do what Vince McMahon tells you to do, so Vince McMahon, this is for you. I'm coming to your backyard this Sunday. That's right, in Worcester, Massachussetts we've got a little PPV thing going on and I've got a hell of an idea. You want me? I'm gonna be in your back yard. Consider this an open invitation, Vince McMahon. You show up at Slamboree, it will be me and you McMahon, in the ring. How about it, Vinnie? But I want to warn you people right now, if you think Vince McMahon has got the guts to show up, don't buy this PPV because I guarantee you he is not man enough to step into this ring with me. But I'll be there Vinnie Mac, I'll be waiting for you. And I'm going to knock you out. See you there. ===July 6=== :''[The NWO meet somebody who's just arrived and Hogan earlier hinted as somebody Goldberg must defeat first to face him in the main event - Scott Hall]'' :'''Hulk Hogan''': ''[as they walk to the arena]'' You're toast. :'''Scott Hall''': Can't have a party without me, baby. :'''Hogan''': That's right brother. :'''Eric Bischoff''': ''[to Hall]'' God, we missed you! :'''Hall''': I gotta heat things up. :'''Bischoff''': Oh and you know how! :'''Hall''': I gotta heat things up. :'''Hogan''': I like it. :'''Curt Hennig''': How you feeling? :'''Hall''': Too sweet. :'''Hogan''': Got the party goods, we got the goods for the party, let's go! <hr width=50%/> :'''Tony Schiavone''': The fans stand, showing their signs, and we are walking with Goldberg, and security from Goldberg's own locker room area following with him all the way to the ring, as you look live back in the locker room area. Surrounding Goldberg, some of Atlanta's finest, Doug Dillinger as well with WCW security, and here they come. :'''Bobby "The Brain" Heenan''': What's going through his mind right now? I've never been in that situation, going for a world championship, let alone with that list of victories this man has, in his backyard, hometown in front of everybody he played for, played with. What an evening, what drama right now. :'''Tony''': Long walk for Goldberg, but it's been a long wait since he arrived in the Georgia Dome earlier in the day. So what's another long walk for Goldberg? They're almost down here now. :''[Goldberg now walks alone]'' :'''Bobby''': Well, Hogan may be taking a long walk too. A ''real'' long walk back to the dressing room empty-handed. :'''Tony''': But could the unblemished mark, the incredible series of wins by Goldberg come to a crashing end here tonight? :'''Bobby''': And you know, Tony, if Hogan is to defeat this man, you know what the nWo's gonna be like then with Hogan and Eric Bischoff in charge. :'''Tony''': ''[as Goldberg reaches the entrance]'' And there he is. :'''Mike Tenay''': And here comes the eruption. :'''Bobby''': Bigger than before. :'''Tony''': This is his moment. :''[Goldberg stands on the ramp as the pyrotechnics envelope him for twenty seconds. When they subside, he walks to the ring surrounded by the security from before]'' :'''Bobby''': It's a long way down. :'''Tony''': There you look at Goldberg, and think about what Goldberg represents. A virtual unknown in this sport who walked into WCW, and he represents every wrestler who wanted just to walk in here and become the World Champ. That's what he represents as he makes his way to the ring. :'''Bobby''': He looks ready! Do it for me! Do it for the fans! Get rid of Hogan! And what's Hogan's mentality gonna be at ''Bash at the Beach'' if he's not heavyweight champion of the world along with Rodman? <hr width=50%/> :'''Bobby''': Look at Goldberg! He's ready! :'''Tony''': He's poised... ''[Goldberg spears Hulk Hogan]'' Hogan goes down! :'''Bobby''': Okay, there's part one! Now finish him off! Finish him off! :'''Tony''': ''[Goldberg signals for the Jackhammer]'' He's calling for it! :'''Bobby''': This is it! This is it! ''[Goldberg sets Hogan up for the Jackhammer]'' Your career's on the line here! Do it! Do it! This place'll erupt when he picks him up. :'''Tony''': ''[Goldberg lifts Hogan in a suplex]'' He's got him up! ''[...and slams Hogan to the mat]'' Oh Hell Yeah! :'''Tony and Bobby''': ''[counting with the referee]'' One... :'''Tony''': ''[continues]'' ...two...THREE!!! :'''Bobby''': OH, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We got a new heavyweight champion of the world! The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the World Championship, and have a record of 107, 108...who cares?! There's zero on the other side! We've got a new champion! Listen to this! ''[pauses to acknowledge the cheering crowd and "Goldberg" chants]'' Wow. :'''Mike''': Thirty-one-year-old Bill Goldberg, less than ten months in the sport, is on top of the wrestling world. :'''Tony''': ''[off a shirt]'' "Who's next?" :'''Bobby''': Who cares? :'''Tony''': "Who cares" is right. The hero has come through, lades and gentlemen, you have witnessed professional wrestling history on many levels. A man who is undeniably the toughest we have seen in decades, a man who undeniably will lead pro wrestling into the next millennium, stands in the Georgia Dome int front of more than 39,000 fans. :'''Bobby''': Tony, there's a new sheriff in town. :'''Tony''': When we go to Bash at the Beach, Goldberg will be the world champ. Its only six days away. :'''Bobby''': We still got Thunder, Wednesday. :'''Tony''': With the new world champion. Well, there's nothing more that this announce crew can add to what you've been a witness here tonight. It's been a night for the ages, it's been a night that we will never forget because on Monday, July 6th, 1998, Goldberg captured the gold. Goldberg, went to 108 and 0, and in less than one year, Goldberg, the phenomenon that is Bill Goldberg, at age 31, is the heavyweight champion of the world, and they're not going anywhere... :'''Bobby''': No. :'''Tony''': They're still standing, chanting his name, paying homage to their hero. :'''Mike''': Let the celebration begin! :'''Tony''': For Iron Mike Tenay and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan... :'''Bobby''': Thank you!! :'''Tony''': and Larry Zsbysko, and Mean Gene, and everybody in pro wrestling... Goodnight, America!! :'''Mike''': Goldberg's the champ! Let's go! ===August 17=== :''[Hollywood Hogan is in the middle of a promo calling out DDP for "somebody from his past." Jim Hellwig, aka Warrior comes in and enters the ring]'' :'''Warrior''': Talk to me, Warriors!!! ''[at top rope]'' Feel the real power, Hogan!! :'''Hollywood Hogan''': ''[shaken by his appearance]'' I thought you were dead! :'''Warrior''': Who holds the absolute power now, Hollywood Hogan? Unleash that raising voice, Warriors! [Warrior Chants] Seems as if no formal introduction is gonna be necessary! Actually, it even seems as if there are those who anticipated my arrival! ''[disgusted at Hogan offering his NWO shirt as if inviting him to join]'' What is that smell? You might want to use it to clean up the mess you just made all over yourself! You need to open your eyes and ears, take control of the limited ability you have to understand the words I am about to say. For years, I have watched while this industry, with you as it's figurehead, has tried to create what is simply un-re-cre-at-able. I have heard, listened to all the innuendos and speculation that something ULTIMATE or WARRIOR may soon reappear. Welcome to the reappearance!</br> Those things, Hogan, which are irreplaceable, whether they be people, places, or things, are never forgotten. You are witnessing that - RIGHT NOW! History tells us, Hogan... ''[“Hogan sucks”-Chants]'' Let's talk about something he doesn't know! History tells us, Hogan, that a man's legacy is build from the premise that within his life the moments lived, once lived, become a piece of his history. Somehow, you have conveniently, even eloquently, misplaced pieces of your history.</br> In the [[WrestleMania#WrestleMania_VI_(1990)|one time, epochal battle between us]], Hogan, you were the quintessential influence of what was good, great, and heroic. But different than you may remember, and albeit you may have beaten myths, legends, giants, and other great men, you never - never - beat a warrior. AND, certainly, not THE ULTIMATE ONE! As a victor of that one-time battle, I defeated what was, until then, undefeatable. I conquered what was then unconquerable. I dominated what was, until then, indomitable. On that day, you were great. I was ULTIMATE!</br> Let me introduce myself, to those two fools that stand behind you. Let's see, this - dude ''[points to the Disciple]'' - must be your barber. And ''[to Eric Bischoff]'' who are you, little man? Who are you? :'''Eric Bischoff''': You know who I am. My name is Eric Bischoff, I run this company and who invited you? :'''Warrior''': ''[laughs]'' Different than you want to make people believe, I never received an invitation, I showed up on my own accord, and let me tell you, Mr. Eric Bischoff, if you stick your nose in my business, you only, very quickly, prepare for your own demise. Furthermore, when I get done with my business here, I'm going to be sending you a bill. I suggest you pay it. I have waited patiently. The WARRIORS have waited all too patiently.</br> Now - NOW - the virtue of justice unties my hands so that I can continue to fulfill a destiny set in motion upon that memorable day years ago - a destiny at the next level - a destiny beckoning the next Super Hero. There really is no sadder sight than when a grown man fears the challenges in his life so much that he rationalises adolescent behaviour to the point where he carries out heinous and self-indulgent actions - YOUR evilness, the evilness you embody and portray, is intolerable.</br> I am the one that has the power to destroy you. It's source, Hogan, the truth, is inexhaustible. I come here, not to beat you up tonight, Hogan - beating you means nothing anymore. Everybody already has. No no no no no no no, that's too easy. Because you felt guilty for being who you were. Your mind became weak and Hulkamania became boring. I come here, Hogan, to tell you next week I intend to launch a revolution not even YOU can control. I ask you to find the courage - check it out - next week, same Warrior time, same Warrior place, same Warrior channel.</br> ===September 14=== :'''Arn Anderson''': Can you smell it, JJ? Take a breath. Can you smell it? When 15,000 people blow the roof off a place, that's what a pop smells like. Take a bow. What you said to me is what all those people have been saying to me for a year and a half, and only a true friend would say that. They said "Arn Anderson, stand up and be a man, like you've always been!" And I couldn't hear those words, 'cause something was in the way and I'm gonna start at the beginning, because you have to start at the beginning because tonight IS a new beginning for the Four Horsemen. :Now when I was a kid, like all kids, people asked you "what do you wanna be when you grow up?" There was no grey area for me, I always knew I wanted to be a wrestler. And when that finally happened for me, it was the proudest day of my life. And in 1986, I started coming to these towns, just like Greenville, South Carolina, as a Horseman. And my life changed forever, and the doors it opened for me, I had never dreamed of. And wrestling the greatest wrestlers in the world in a town like this and all across this country showed me who I was. And every day that I woke up since then I tried to uphold the standards that we, you and I and the rest of us set for ourselves. :And about a year and a half ago, I laid down on an operating table and when I woke up, Arn Anderson the wrestler was dead, and I thought to myself how could I be a Horseman if I couldn't be a wrestler. Well, the fact is I couldn't in my mind... :'''Crowd''': We Want Flair! :'''Arn''': Trust me, everybody's gonna get what they want tonight, Bischoff. Eric Bischoff. :So when I thought I could no longer be a Horsemen, Chris Benoit came to me first and he said "this can all happen." And with that prelude, I would like to bring the other three Horsemen out right now. Steve "Mongo" McMichael, come on down. ''[Steve McMichael enters the ring, as do the other Horsemen when called]'' Chris Benoit, come on down. Dean Malenko, come on down. :Now, before we go any further. Chris Benoit, you got this thing rolling, and I'm gonna go on record as saying, if there's a finer wrestler in all the land than you, I don't know who it is. Your intensity, the first time I saw you wrestle, made you something special. You are something special in my eyes, you knew what it meant to be a Horsemen. You will carry that tradition way past the year 2000. :Mongo McMichael, you're hard-headed, lotta times you're hard to be around, but the fact is in my eyes, you're all man. You're certainly All-Pro, and when this is all said and done, if I've got anything to say about it, you will mean to this sport what you've meant to the sport of pro football. :Now Dean Malenko. I've been out here ya/king for the last ten years about what it meant to be a Horseman: work ethic, respect for the business, respect for each other, respect for the people that came before us. And while I was yakking the last year, and the last couple of months, you were out there fighting the fights for the Horsemen. You exemplify what a Horseman has always meant: overachievement. Being the very best you could be, each and every day of your life, whether you were sick, or hurt, or whatever the case may be, and it makes me proud, now I'm gonna say one more time. I've said that you didn't get it; well, ''I'' didn't get it, because if there was ever a Horseman it makes me a little misty-eyed and real proud to call on this day the finest thing you can be in this sport of professional wrestling, that's a Horseman. :Ladies and gentlemen, through the year 2000, we're gonna do exactly what all of you across this nation have asked: "Arn Anderson, bring back the Horsemen!" But I feel it fair to tell ya, I'm not gonna be responsible for what happens next. 'Cause we don't wear white hats, we're not nice guys, and I can tell you this: heads are gonna roll! So, I've said it: Be careful what you wish for, because now you have it! :Ah, what a goof! What a goof! You know, I get accused of gettin' racked in the head a few times and having a little touch of Alzheimer's. My God! I almost forgot the fourth Horseman! Ric Flair, get on down here! <hr width=50%> :'''Ric Flair''': Thank you, thank you very much. I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the twenty - five years that I've spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it. Now, somebody told me that the Horsemen were having a party tonight in Greenville! Could that be true that the most elite group that Eric Bischoff said was dead, is alive and well? Bischoff, this might be my only shot, and I gotta tell ya, I'm gonna make it my best. Is this what you call a great moment in TV? It's wrong, because this is REAL! This is not bought and paid for! It's a REAL - LIFE - SITUATION! Just like the night in Columbia, South Carolina, when you looked at me - tears in my eyes - and said 'God, that's good TV' - it was real! Arn Anderson passed the torch - it was real, dammit! You think Sting was crying in the dressing room like I was on TV if it wasn't real? This guy, my best friend, is one of the greatest performers who ever lived, and YOU - you squashed him, in one night. Then you get on the phone and tell me, "Disband the Horsemen. They're dead. Disband the Four Horsemen." You know what? I looked at myself in the mirror the next day and I saw a pathetic figure that gave up and quit! And for that, I owe you, the wrestling fans, I owe these guys an apology. Because it won't happen again! ''[Bischoff appears at the entrance way]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': You're history! This is my TV!! :'''Flair''': Bischoff, whatever you think... You're an overbearing asshole! That's right! You're an obnoxious, you're an obnoxious, overbearing ass! Abuse of power! You! Abuse of power! Cut me off! Come on! It's called abuse of power! :'''Bischoff''': You'll never ever wrestle on my television again! :'''Flair''': You suck! You... I hate your guts. I hate your guts. :'''Bischoff''': ''[as he walks away]'' This is my house! You're history! :'''Flair''': You are a liar, you're a cheat, you're a scam, you are a no-good son of a bitch. :'''Bischoff''': You're history! :'''Flair''': Fire me! I'm already fired! Fire me! I'm already fired! ===December 14=== :''[Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen just fought off the NWO, and he's still livid over Eric Bischoff kissing his wife the week before]'' :'''Ric Flair''': BISCHOFF!!! For 25 years, for whatever I have been, good and bad, I've been a man, you son of a bitch! And good or bad, I can walk in the door of my house and know that those kids, and that wife forgave me for everything I ever did wrong because they depended on me to live day in and day out! You, you start out, you come in here, you promise me the world and then you take my career, you try to shitcan that, that didn't work, because ''[to the fans]'' they, right here, 40,000 strong, wouldn't let you do it! :'''Bobby Heenan''': It's the most intense I've ever seen him. :'''Flair''': Then, you put your lawyers on me and you know what, you damn near broke me, but I would like to the wire, I fought you every step of the way. I gave in, I came back, not 'coz of you, but because my little boy, ten years old, walked up to me and said, "Dad, why don't you just beat the hell out of Bischoff and get back in the world?" He didn't understand politics, he didn't understand lawyers, but he understands that every day of his life, his dad said two things to him: Never quit. Promise me for as long as I am alive, you will never quit - and last Thursday night, you stepped over the line AND I ALMOST QUIT! I almost couldn't live it, you put your hands on my children, you kissed my wife, you no-good rotten bastard! What do you think my kids felt when they went to school, embarrassed? No. Shocked? No. You stepped over the line. You took something... :''[Eric Bischoff appears at the entranceway]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': ''[mock sadness]'' Oh, Ric, I feel so bad.. ''[sees Flair running up to him; to security]'' STOP HIM STOP HIM!!! ''[security restrains Flair]'' Come on, come on! Come and get me, come and get me be careful with him, he's got a bad heart! He's got a bad heart! ''[as the officers cuff him]'' Arrest him! Arrest him, so I can fire him!! == 1999 == === January 4=== :'''Tony Schiavone''': If you're even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, fans, do not. Because we understand that Mick Foley, who wrestled here one time as Cactus Jack, is going to win their World Title. ''[sarcastically]'' That's gonna put some butts in the seats. <hr width=50%/> :'''Tony''': Fans, I want to reiterate something I talked about before the commercial break. If you're thinking about changing channels to our competition, we want to let you know that unlike us, they've got their show in the can, their show's been taped. Later tonight, Mick Foley, who once wrestled here as Cactus Jack, is gonna win their World Title. I mean, that's gonna be their World Champion. Ha ha! <hr width=50%/> :'''Tony''': Fans, as you know, it's getting close to the 11:00 hour. We're gonna stay right here, we're gonna follow all the action as long as it takes, so stay with us. These are not taped matches. This is happening live, this is ''Nitro''. ''[Bell rings]'' The bell sounds, Billy Silverman making the call. No matter what happens, we're staying with you here tonight. :'''Bobby "The Brain" Heenan''': Even if it goes on ''all'' night, we're gonna be here. :'''Tony''': That's what we're all about. :'''Bobby''': We're live! :... :'''Tony''': Listen to the fans! Look at Hogan's reaction! :'''Bobby''': Over 40,000+! This is better than a playoff game! :'''Tony''': Hell, this is what pro wrestling, what World Championship Wrestling is all about! <hr width=50%/> :'''Tony''': ''[on Hogan]'' He's been in so many big matches. :'''Bobby''': Boy, he has. :''[Hogan fakes a punch, [[w:Fingerpoke of Doom|then lightly pokes Kevin Nash, who drops to the mat.]] Hogan covers him.]'' :'''Tony''': ''[as Silverman counts]'' What was that about? What's going on here? ''[Silverman counts to three. Hogan, Nash, Hall, and Scott Steiner celebrate in the ring]'' What just happened here? :'''Bobby''': This stinks. :'''Michael Buffer''': Ladies and gentlemen, the winner and new Heavyweight Champion of the world, from nWo Hollywood, Hulk Hogan! :'''Eric Bischoff''': ''[having been silent all night]'' It is unbelievable! The new World Heavyweight Champion, Hollywood Hulk Hogan! ===October 11=== :'''Tony Schiavone''': Before we start with tonight's action, Brain, there's something we both, but particularly you, have to say about our longtime friend Gorilla Monsoon. :'''Bobby "The Brain" Heenan''': Gorilla will be sadly missed. He was one big, tough man, he was a decent honest man, and we're all going to miss him very much. And you know the pearly gates in heaven? :'''Tony''': Yeah. :'''Bobby''': It's now gonna be called the Gorilla position. Goodbye, my friend. ==2000== ===February 7=== :''[Scott Steiner, his women, and the NWO are in the ring]'' :'''Scott Steiner''': Now last week, I was watching TV and I watched a 53-year-old man come down here who wears more loose skin than a Shar-Pei puppy come out here saying he's still "The Man." I see Ric Flair No.2, the Nature Boy come out here, who's been the butt-end of all the jokes, 'cause he's supposed to be the limousine-riding, jet-flying son of a gun, but I'm saying one time, you shoulda take a cab, and used to that money to fix that scrooked yellow teeth! So I asked myself, "if WCW was going to hire the Nature Boy No.2, why wouldn't they hire the Nature Boy, the ''original'' Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers?" Now I know that Buddy Rogers is dead - God rest his soul - but Ric Flair, your career is dead! And I know as he lays six feet under, he's still styling and profiling, 'cause when you used your little brain and stole his name, there's one thing you couldn't steal, and that was his class. So when you walked down that aisle last week, I know I wasn't alone, 'cause the people at home, all they did was grab their remote, change the channel to WWF and watch Stone Cold, a person you and your old friends got fired from here 'cause you're a jealous, old bastard. So Ric Flair, remember this, in this wrestling business, there's never been a bigger ass-kissing, butt-sucking bastard in this business, but also in life, you're the biggest ass-kiss, back-stabbing, butt-sucking bastard and you belong where you're at, in WCW, because WCW sucks... and so do you! Me? I'm just gonna stand here in the NWO for life! ===April 10=== :''[Jeff Jarrett reveals Vince Russo as the Powers That Be]'' :'''Vince Russo''': You know, after giving six years of my life to the World Wrestling Federation I came to WCW with one thing in mind - and that was to beat Vince McMahon at his own game! And you know what? Within a matter of weeks, the new blood in WCW was not only getting back in the game, they were changing the game! And that's when the good ol' boy network kicked in - afraid of change, and more importantly afraid of their jobs - the political BS took place in the back to bring Vince Russo down. And you stayin' at home know who you are 'cause you're watching me now. And then one day I'm told that there's gonna be a change in direction - a change that I knew SUCKED! And you know what? I wasn't the only one who knew - Benoit knew - Guerrero knew - Saturn knew - Malenko knew - Douglas knew - and they left! They're gone! Scott Steiner - he knew it, and they suspended his ass! Well you know what? That's all over now. It's done. And Vince Russo is back in charge again. And I wanna turn around now and I wanna say something to everybody in this ring. It is OVER. The old boys management is over. The inflated egos in the back, afraid to lose their spot - it is over. It is the dawning of a new day - it is your opportunity - seize that opportunity! :''[Eric Bischoff appears]'' :'''Eric Bischoff''': Are you done yet? Let me tell you something. This man - Vince Russo and I - have more in common than anybody knows. But the big thing is the fact that we were both screwed by the same... good ol' boys network. Vince is right - those days are over. But it's okay! I don't even mind. And you know why I don't mind? Because it's giving me a hell of an opportunity to think about all the great things I did in WCW, but it's also given me an opportunity to realize the mistakes I've made... mistakes like Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Sting, Diamond Dallas Page, and oh yeah, oh yeah... let's not forget Sid "Wished he was" Vicious. But you know what the biggest mistake I've ever made? I mean this is the real big one. Hulk Hogan. I'm sorry - I really am sorry. :Everybody told me he would screw me - he would use me - they said, do not look into that red and yellow light because you will be blinded. Well, I was blinded, but tonight I've got 20/20 vision - I'm seeing real clearly for the first time in a long time, and right now I want to apologize to everybody in this ring - The New Blood - and I want you guys to know that if there's anything I can do for Vince Russo that will help you, I am there for him - I am there for you, because it is a whole new WCW. And where are they? Where are they, where is Diamond Dallas Page? Where is Sting? Where are they? :'''Russo''': I think they're hiding in the back with the old tail between their legs. ===July 15=== :''[Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden talk about the Billy Kidman/Torrie Wilson sex tape on Nitro and the subsequent segment between Torrie and Shane Douglas on Thunder.]'' :'''Tony Schiavone''': ... that fueled the fire for this "Viagra on a Pole" Match. :'''Mark Madden''': I'll tell you... I'll tell you what, you can't come out of here limping in a match like this. You gotta get it up right away and keep it up. ===August 14=== :'''Vince Russo''': ''[Standing in the ring with Tank Abbott at the start of the show]'' You know, it seems like deja vu all over again. I stood in this very ring [[w:Bash at the Beach|one month ago]], and I made history. I made an example out of somebody... and you all know who [[w:Hulk Hogan|that]] is, because that piece of shit hasn't been around since! Well tonight, I'm gonna make an example on live TV out of another piece of shit, Goldberg! You don't screw with me and the fact is I came out here tonight to fire Bill Goldberg's ass on national TV! Yeah, cheer for him you asshole Canadians! Well you know what? Brad Siegel wouldn't let me fire Goldberg because the fans love Goldberg! Well I say screw the fans and I say screw Bill Goldberg! And Goldberg, since I could not fire your ass, well I'm going to have your ass kicked right here tonight and he's right here Bill. Remember what happened at the Phillips arena Bill? Well we all know that was bullshit! So I say Bill, you bring it out here and lets call it in the ring. Do it Tank! You know, let me explain something to you assholes! You see, Bill Goldberg, Bill Goldberg believes in his own little mind that if this world were real, then he could take everybody! He could kick everybody's ass! He could kick your ass Tank! You know Bill, you think you're Superman, you think you're invincible, you think I can't beat you huh? Well I'll tell you what, I've got the kryptonite to stick up your ass tonight pal! What do I got to do? Do I got to beg you to come out here chickenshit?! What's the matter Bill? You don't want to come out here? You don't know the script? You don't know the storyline? Tank will call your ass! ===September 11=== :''[Big Poppa Pump is interviewed by Mean Gene]'' :'''Scott Steiner''': That's right Mean Gene, I don't lay down for nobody and whether I leave here the world champion tonight, it don't matter because it's not going to change my focus on getting even with Goldberg for fracturing my face at Fall Brawl. Goldberg! I'm getting even for you fracturing my face and I'm gonna prove to you that I'm the man with the largest arms in the world! I'm the genetic freak and size does matter! And that statement, Mean Gene, comes true whether I'm in the ring or out of the ring. See where all my freaks are horizontal, they understand size, they appreciate size and size does matter and they know that they don't have to wait for the Earth to rotate on a 47-degree axis so the stars can touch the sky and create an equinox so they see the Big Dipper. No no no, all they gotta do is call the Big Poppa, cause I'm the man with the big dipper and satisfaction's coming when I go behind and do the bump n' grind and it's only a matter of time before they call me the big bad booty daddy! So Goldberg, realize this. I only care about two things in this world: my freaks and my peaks and I'll beat your ass down at Fall Brawl and I'm about to put you in the Steiner Recliner and I'm gonna whisper in your ear, 'Size does matter, bitch!' ==2001== ===March 19=== :''[Booker T calls out Big Poppa Pump and Ric Flair]'' :'''Booker T''': Yo Steiner, Flair. I told you I was gonna talk to the man and that man is Eric Bischoff, so shut up and listen. :'''Eric Bischoff''': ''[by phone patch]'' Thank you Booker. For those of you in the arena and all of you watching around the country this evening, I would very much would have chosen to be there tonight in person as I could be but given everything that's going on tonight, that's just not possible. Many of you may know that for the past six months I've been working with a group of people whose goal was - and is - to acquire World Championship Wrestling and to grow it once again to becoming a competitive, dominant wrestling organization worldwide. :But recently, we've hit a couple of roadblocks that may be in fact brick walls, and while it is still in my power, I want to do something befitting what could be very well the last night of wrestling on the Turner networks. Given the fact that that wrestling has been such an important part of Turner's history for the past 29 years, I've been thinking over the weekend on what I could do to provide an exciting program that this historic event should be. To that end, I want to make an announcement now that next Monday night in Panama City is indeed going to be a "Night of Champions." By that, I mean every championship will be up for grabs, starting with the World Cruiserweight Championship, the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships, the World Tag Team championship, the US title, and the World Heavyweight will also be up for grabs next Monday night at Panama City. And Scott Steiner, Booker T, I want you to, to be aware now that your match is going to be a "Title Vs Title" match. The contracts are prepared, a WCW representative is standing by to make sure that the contracts are executed. Read them carefully, sign them, be prepared to defend your titles next Monday night. And also given the historic nature of this occasion and my relationship with this company for nearly ten years, I wanna personally extend an open invitation to any former - and I mean ''any former'' - World Heavyweight champion in WCW to join us in Panama City, and don't be afraid to bring your boots with you. :Lastly, Ric Flair, you and I have had a very rocky relationship over the past ten years and while I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and what you've done in wrestling history and what you've done for WCW for so long now, I want to make sure that in your case, a promise made is a promise kept - and Ric Flair, it is in your best interest this evening - to kiss Dusty Rhodes' ass. ''[Flair is flustered]'' That being said, I'll see you all in Panama City next Monday night, The Night of Champions, thank you. ===March 26=== :''[After the WCW opening logo, Vince McMahon appears]'' :'''Vince McMahon''': Imagine that. Me, Vince McMahon. Imagine that, here I am, on WCW television. How can that happen? Well, there's only one way. You see that it was just a matter of time before I, Vince McMahon, bought my competition. That's right, I own WCW, so therefore in its final broadcast tonight on TNT, I have the opportunity to address ''[hands gesturing to camera]'' you the WCW fans. I have an opportunity to address, you the WCW superstars. What is the fate of WCW? Well tonight, in this special simulcast, you will all find out, because the fate - ''[cups hands]'' the very fate of WCW is in ''my hands''. <hr width=50%/> :''[Ric Flair comes down to the ring]'' :'''Ric Flair''': Did I - Did I - WOOOOO! Did I happen to hear Vince McMahon say he was goin' to hold WCW in the palms of his hands? Is that what he said? Does that mean that YOU are gonna hold Jack Brisco, Dory Funk, Harley Race, the Road Warriors, Sting, Luger, the Steiners, Bagwell, Ric Flair, Steamboat, does that mean you're gonna hold us all in the palm of your hands? To coin a phrase, I don't think so! You know, at twelve o'clock today, someone very special to me said, "Do not go onto that show tonight knowin' it's the last time that you'll ever be on TNT or TBS" - knowing it's the last time, she said to me, "Don't go out there and cry - don't go out there and say you're sorry" because I'm not - I've been fourteen times the World Champion - in my eyes, one of the greatest, you got it! The greatest wrestling organization in the world - WCW! :We... I'm talkin' about the Stings, the Lugers, the Steiners, the Road Warriors - I'm talkin' about my best friend, Arn Anderson and the Four Horsemen - we have been on a par, and we have been equal to any wrestling organization in the world - as a matter of fact, we have run neck and neck with you, Vince McMahon, for years - for YEARS - and just for trivia, Vince McMahon, do you know that in 1981, when you were trying to become an announcer, your dad was on the board of directors and voted for ME to be the world champion - WOOOO! How 'bout that? And ever since that day, I have been a limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin', wheelin-dealin', son of a gun, that along with the whole WCW dammit all, have kissed the girls worldwide, and made 'em cry! 'Cause ya see, we were every bit the force, we were WCW - we lived, we breathed, we sweat, we paid the price to be the best - never been about the boys - it's always been WWF vs. the WCW in the office - the boys that have gone out there, night in and night out, doing everything they could to be the very best at what they chose to do in their life - those boys are here tonight - we are! :We're not going anywhere, you can't hold us in your hands and predict our life! We're WCW! We've bled and we've sweat - when was the last time you wrestled for an hour, cut yourself five times, bled for 45 minutes... when were you there? You weren't! You weren't! You were never in the dressing room, on the road 40 days and 40 nights, bleedin', sweatin', goin' to the next town, you weren't there, you can't hold people's lives in your hands. We're the greatest wrestling company of all time - I wanna say it again - you can't control us or our future, and in closing, let me say this - in all my years in this sport, my greatest opponent with this company has been Sting - so tonight, if we're going out, if we're going out on a high note, Stinger, the Nature Boy wants you right here, because - that's right - that's right - ya hear it, Sting? Sting, my greatest opponent - Sting, it's your last chance - your last chance to be... ''[crowd chants Sting]'' Sting, Sting, Sting, Sting, Sting, Sting - Sting! To be - the man, you've gotta beat the man, and Sting... I'M. THE. MAN. WOOOOOO! <hr width=50%/> :''[In a prerecorded video, DDP reflects on his WCW journey]'' :'''Diamond Dallas Page''': In the words of the Grateful Dead, what a long strange trip it's been, but I gotta tell you, I've loved every second of it, wouldn't trade it for nothing. And tonight, on this historic eve, I thought I needed to thank all the wrestling fans from around the world, for letting a kid from the Jersey Shore, Page Joseph Falkenberg, become Diamond Dallas Page. The guy they said would never make it but did. And that proves only one thing, if you want it bad enough and you're willing to work for it, anything's possible. It's not the promoters who decide who's over, it's the fans, so not just to thanks the fans in general, I want to specially thank, the WCW wrestling fans and my wife, Kimberly, for believing in me, and helping me live my dream. Is that dream over? I don't think so, I think now it's time to take it to another level. ''[to camera]'' Thank you. <hr width=50%/> :''[as the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship match begins, Tony Schiavone goes a bit off-script upon learning of William Regal talking to Vince McMahon over his purchase of WCW]'' :'''Tony Schiavone''': I don't want to sit here, and as a person who's been on Monday Nitro for many years, it hits you to hear anything that he once said... Mr McMahon, it's his money, he can do whatever he wants, I don't know what he's gonna do tonight, but let me say this: to sit here and listen to their Commissioner, rip WCW? :'''Scott Hudson''': Yes. :'''Schiavone''': Come on. I mean, we've had to do some crazy things, Steve Regal, including putting your ass over on TV! <hr width=50%/> :''[calling the match between Sting and Ric Flair]'' :'''Tony Schiavone''': ''[sees Sting Superplex Flair]'' Yes, he got it down. What's Sting gonna do now? ''[Scorpion Deathlock]'' Scorpion Deathlock!! He's got it on! :'''Scott Hudson''': Center of the ring! :'''Schiavone''': ''[Flair quits]'' It's over! It's over!! It's Sting! Sting wins! Sting defeats Ric Flair here on the final telecast of ''WCW Monday Nitro'' on TNT. And look at that, my god that he's gonna help him up. And the embrace, it's what we're all about. :'''Hudson''': Sting knows that Ric Flair made him at that Clash of the Champions. That's ultimate respect. :'''Schiavone''': It really is. :'''Hudson''': For two men, I have to say, that have huge fans of, they may be continue to be fans of professional wrestling. Thank you Steve Borden, thank you Ric Flair, for everything you've meant to this sport. :'''Schiavone''': It's an emotional rollercoaster for all of us fans. The uncertainty of our jobs, our future of what we love, what we breathe, and what we live. We don't just work for WCW, we lived WCW, and I know Flair is thinking that the fans would agree. == External links== {{Wikipedia}} [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:TNT shows]] [[Category:American sports TV shows]] 55uhhpcm4uws2rubg7pewju11gujxtz Bea Arthur 0 142245 3147950 3037008 2022-07-27T00:57:34Z Ahti-Saku 3126681 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Beatrice Arthur - 1973.jpg|thumb|Bea Arthur in 1973]] [[w:Bea Arthur|'''Beatrice''' "'''Bea'''" '''Arthur''']] (born '''Bernice Frankel'''; [[May 13]], [[1922]] – [[April 25]], [[2009]]) was an American actress best remembered for her work in ''[[w:Maude (TV series)|Maude]]'' and ''[[The Golden Girls]]''. == Quotes == * I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me.

I eat punks like these for breakfast. *I'm Batman. ==Harley Quinn== *"Ooh, that's gotta hurt!" *"This old man looks like he's gonna pee himself. Someone bring me a bucket." *"Like my new uniform bats? Its hot right?" ==Joker== * Tell me, Bats. What are you ''really'' scared of? Failing to save this cesspool of a city? Not finding the Commissioner in time? Me, in a thong? *Sorry, Has-Bane, the good Doctor won't be a problem much longer. How do you like my puppet? What say we cut him down? ''[presses a detonator]'' *I've waited a long time for this, Bats. Let's start the party… ''[pulls and points out his gun at Batman]'' With a ''BANG!'' ''[shoots Batman]'' *You had to spoil everything, didn't you? Beating up Bane, feeding Scarecrow to Croc, slapping around Harley--''my'' hobby, by the way--and ruining ''all'' my lovely Venom plants. *Nicely done, Bats! You deserve a prize! Your old pal, Commissioner Gordon. Say, he looks all run-down. Let's ''pep'' him up! *Ooh, here we go! We're going to have some fun now, kiddies! You're trying to resist the change! That's not fair! Come on! Give in! ''[Batman punches him under the chin]'' So, you wanna play hardball, Bats? Do ya? Your call! ''[takes out a feather to tickle him]'' Tickle, tickle! ''[Batman smacks his hand away]'' Ow! You're ruining my big night! All those months of planning down the crapper! I just wanted to bring down your grim facade, and for once let you see the world as I see it, giggling in a corner and bleeding! But you've denied me even that! I have nothing left to live for. ''[injects himself with Titan]'' *Showtime, Batman! ==Oracle== *"My God! Is Joker crazy enough to try that...? What am I saying? You've got to stop him!" ==Riddler== *"Can you hear me, Batman? I know you can. It is I, Edward Nygma, the Riddler, and more importantly, your intellectual superior. My genius has allowed me to hack into your primative communications. Ha ha. My goal is simple: you complete a series of amusingly taxing challenges and... well, you'll see." *"What? You're nearly done? Are you cheating? Looking them up on the internet? Tell me." *"I am Edward Nygma. The world's greatest detective." *"You are beginning to impress me, Batman. I'll let you help me find my socks if you keep this up." ==Scarecrow== *"You've ingested enough toxin to drive 10 men insane! What are you!?" *"You married your wife because you were scared of dying alone. You had children because you're scared you won't leave behind anything important. You go to doctors because you're scared of dying... need I go on?" *"What are you, Batman? Chicken?" *"Is your mind playing tricks on you... or am I?" *"Are you enjoying the extra dose, little Bat?" *"Why fight it, Batman? You're as crazy as the rest of us. You need us just as much as we need you." *"At the end of fear, oblivion." ==Scarface== *"Our head of research, Dr. Crane, has made no real progress, but he seems to enjoy his work so, what the hell." *"When I first heard the Joker aimed to take over this bughouse, like many of us, I thought he was crazy. When he outlined his vision of a hospital dedicated to ensuring inmates remain loopy for as long as possible, I thought he was wacky. But when he held me down and razor cut a new smile on my face, I decided he had a point; Situated in a small island in Gotham Bay, we stop at nothing to making sure no screwballs fly the coop." *"Our new patient ward is "manned" by Waylon Jones. I'm assured that he's cured almost every patient sent to him, and boasts empty beds in all his wards." ==Victor Zsasz== *"I see anything that looks even a little bit like a bat and this guard dies. Do you hear me?" ==Dialogue== :'''Joker''': Seeing as how I'm feeling generous, I'll give you this one for free! Knock me off, I dare you, end this! Stop me once and for all! [Batman prepares to throw a batarang but doesn't, Joker laughs] Oh you're getting too predictable, Bats. Gotta go! I've got a party to arrange. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': Wee! Great night for a party. :'''Batman''': Not where you're going. :'''Joker''': The night is young, Bats. I still have a trick or two up my sleeve. I mean, don't you think it's a little bit funny how a fire at Blackgate caused hundreds of my crew to be moved here? :'''Frank Boles''': I thought I told you to stay quiet! :'''Joker''': Oh Frankie, you really should learn to keep that fat mouth of yours shut. It'll get you into trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': I can take it... I can take anything you throw at me, Bats. You can't beat me this time, I'm actually going to win! Ready for the next round? :'''Batman''': Always. :'''Joker''': What!? :'''Batman''': I'll never let you win. Never! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': Now look at what you've done! :'''Scarface''': ME? It was YOUR plan, yah goofy clown! :'''Joker''': That's it! I'm sending you back to the Ventriloquist where you belong! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': Having a little trouble up there? :'''Batman''': Joker! :'''Joker''': You were expecting maybe Two-Face? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Harley Quinn tried to slow me down. Dropped an elevator on me. :'''Oracle''': [Amused] Did it work? :'''Batman''': [Chuckles] Of course not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Killer Croc''': I've got your scent, Batman! I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!! [is remotely electrocuted] A toy collar won't stop me from killing you, Batman. I'LL RIP YOU APART, EAT YOUR BONES!!!!. :'''Joker''': That reminds me, I really need to get some new shoes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bane''': I will break you, Batman, then the bruja! :'''Batman''': No, Bane, this time I break you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Commissioner Gordon''': You took longer than I expected. :'''Batman''': Joker's out of control, he's trying to prove something. I'm not sure I can stop him this time. :'''Commissioner Gordon''': You'll do it. Listen, Batman, we're not alone. He's got someone down there... :'''Joker''': What a blabbermouth! Spoiling the surprise! :'''Batman''': Be quiet. :'''Joker''': Am I getting to you? Am I? Good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Young Gordon''': Come on, kid, this way. Take a seat in my office. :'''Cop #1''': Is he okay? :'''Cop #2''': He'll be fine. Kid like that, with all that money? He'll be just fine. :'''Young Gordon''': Shut up, now! He's eight years old and all alone! Money won't fix that. :'''Cop #2''': Whatever you say, Gordon. His butler's on his way to pick him up. You hear that? He's got a butler. :'''Young Gordon''': I'm sorry about that. I just need to ask you some questions. Can I get you anything? You okay? :'''Young Gordon''': I know you don't feel like answering me, but it's the only way to catch who did this. :'''Young Bruce Wayne''': [crying] Why did he do it, Officer? Why? :'''Young Gordon''': I don't know. It's this city, there's something wrong with it. And listen, son, call me Jim. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Poison Ivy''': You will pay, Batman. For hurting my babies. :'''Joker''': Oh God... Does she ever stop going on about those plants of hers? :'''Poison Ivy''': When I finish with Batman, I'll be coming after you, Joker! :'''Joker''': Will you really. Well, that's gratitude, isn't it? Women! You give'em presents, experimental chemicals and nice costumes and they still turn on you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': How about a hand for Mr. Cash? He could sure use one. Ha ha ha. :'''Aaron Cash''': You'll be laughing out of your butt when I get out of here! :'''Joker''': Lighten up, homes. I'm just messin' with ya. :'''Aaron Cash''': Can't wait to return the favor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penelope Young''': Patient Interview #39, July 29th. Patient's name is Edward Nigma. Mr. Nigma, tell us about your childhood. :'''Riddler''': Miserable. Next? :'''Penelope Young''': By all accounts that is where your fascination with riddles began. I believe discussing those years could explain your compulsive behavior. :'''Riddler''': Very well. My father hated me. He always called me a moron. :'''Penelope Young''': I see. :'''Riddler''': I was determined to prove him wrong. So I entered a contest at school. A $20 prize to the kid who can solve an almost impossible logic problem. And I won, of course. :'''Penelope Young''': And did that please your father? :'''Riddler''': Hardly. He was convinced that I had cheated. He kept yelling, "You must have cheated! Admit it, you moron, you cheated!" I swore to him that I didn't, and he hit me for lying. :'''Penelope Young''': Well, I'm sorry to hear that. :'''Riddler''': Don't be. He was right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penelope Young''': Patient interview #21, patient's name is Edward Nygma, also known as the Riddler. So Edward, Warden Sharpe tells me you've been leaving threatening riddles scrawled on the asylum walls. Again. :'''Riddler''': One would have to be severely paranoid to read threats into harmless riddles Dr Young. May I test you with one? :'''Penelope Young''': Very well. :'''Riddler''': What is it that walks on four legs, then two legs, and finally three legs. :'''Penelope Young''': A human being. As a baby it crawls on four legs, as an adult it walks on two, and in later years it uses a cane. :'''Riddler''': [laughs] Good try. But the answer to all three is a baby. True it crawls on all fours, but cut off it's legs and it can only wiggle on two limbs. Give it a crutch, it can hobble around on three. You see? :'''Penelope Young''': That's horrible. How can you even joke about that? :'''Riddler''': Easily doctor. It's not my baby. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Riddler''': You seem distressed, Doctor. Anything you could use my help with? :'''Penelope Young''': No thank you, Edward. I'm here to help you. We all are. :'''Riddler''': Forgive my arrogance, Doctor, but if you think I need your help, well, you're in the right place. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': He's crazy, you know. :'''Harley Quinn''': Who, Batman? :'''Joker''': No, Santa Claus. Of course Batman! Always Batman! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Tell me something, you've never let me capture you this easily. What are you really planning? :'''Joker''': Oh, nothing much. Hundreds dying in pain and fear, all their meaningless lives brought to a horrifying conclusion. All thanks to you and a book of matches. Was that the answer you wanted? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oracle''': [reading an exchange between Dr. Young and Joker] She's begging to stop the experiment, saying it's too dangerous. Joker's not listening... random threats to her family, a couple of bad jokes... a picture of a dead baby and a threat. :'''Batman''': Go on. :'''Oracle''': He says "I'm coming for you. I want what I paid for." Then a joke about wheelchairs. Lovely. And a drawing of some kind of donkey. :'''Batman''': No mystery why she's so scared. I'm heading up to the surface. I'll find her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scarecrow''': Hello, Stephen, how are you today? :'''Dr. Stephen Kellerman''': I keep telling you, this is MY session. :'''Scarecrow''': It was your session, Doctor. But not anymore. :'''Guard''': Doc, are you okay? :'''Scarecrow''': [before Kellerman can respond] Oh he's fine. Just questioning his grip on reality. You should be doing the same any time now. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|1282022|Batman: Arkham Asylum}} [[Category:DC Comics]] [[Category:2009 video games]] [[Category:Batman: Arkham (series)]] 0cobb84grgvqk03j5ykzpmj7e9nqjty Ordinary People 0 144965 3147379 3147229 2022-07-26T12:16:01Z UDScott 4304 Reverted edit by [[User:2603:6010:5B01:6D00:E90B:7D57:7E3:B236|2603:6010:5B01:6D00:E90B:7D57:7E3:B236]] ([[User talk:2603:6010:5B01:6D00:E90B:7D57:7E3:B236|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/2603:6010:5B01:6D00:E90B:7D57:7E3:B236|contributions]]) to last version by UDScott wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ordinary People|Ordinary People]]''''' is a [[w:1980 in film|1980 American drama film]] about the disintegration of an upper-middle class family in Lake Forest, Illinois, following the death of a son in a boating accident. :Directed by [[w:Robert Redford|Robert Redford]].

I feel bad about it, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Conrad''': ''[seeing Beth set the table]'' Can I help? :'''Beth''': Help with what? :'''Conrad''': With … this? :'''Beth''': No. I'll tell you what you can do is go upstairs to that room of yours and clean out the closet. :'''Conrad''': ''[still desperately trying to talk with her]'' Mom? :'''Beth''': ''[sensing this, but afraid]'' Okay? Because it really is a mess. ''[they stare at each other in silence for a moment before the phone rings]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Dr. Berger''': Now. You can live with that. Can't you? :'''Conrad''': I'm so scared! I'm scared. :'''Dr. Berger''': Feelings are scary. And sometimes they're painful. And if you can't feel pain, then you're not going to feel anything else, either. You know what I'm saying? :'''Conrad''': I think so. :'''Dr. Berger''': You're here, and you're alive. And don't tell me you don't feel that. :'''Conrad''': It doesn't feel good. :'''Dr. Berger''': It is good. Believe me. :'''Conrad''': How do you know? :'''Dr. Berger''': Because I'm your friend. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dr. Berger''': So you felt great. You brought home a Christmas tree and everything was hunky dory. Okay? :'''Conrad''': You're the doctor. :'''Dr. Berger''': Listen, don't take refuge in one-liners like "you're the doctor". Okay? Because that pisses me off. :'''Conrad''': Okay. <hr width="50%"> :'''Conrad''': ''[Dr. Berger is pretending to be Buck, Con's older brother]'' Bucky, I didn't mean it! Bucky, I didn't meant it! :'''Dr. Berger''': What? :'''Conrad''': I said put the sail down, but you said keep it starboard, and then we go over! And you say "Hang on, Hang on!", but then you let go! Why'd you let go? :'''Dr. Berger''': Because I was tired! :'''Conrad''': Oh yeah? Well screw you, you jerk! :'''Dr. Berger''': ''[abandoning his role]'' It hurts to be mad at him, doesn't it? :'''Conrad''': God, I loved him. It's not fair. You just do one wrong thing. :'''Dr. Berger''': And what was the one wrong thing you did? [pause] You know. [pause] You know. :'''Conrad''': I hung on. I stayed with the boat. :'''Dr. Berger''': Exactly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Jeannine''': ''[the suicide attempt scars on Conrad's wrist are displayed]'' Did it hurt? :'''Conrad''': I don't remember, really. :'''Jeannine''': You don't want to talk about it? :'''Conrad''': I've never really talked about it. To doctors. But, not to anyone else. You're the first who's asked. :'''Jeannine''': Why did you do it? :'''Conrad''': Uh … I don't know. It was like … falling into a hole. It keeps getting bigger and bigger and you can't escape. All of a sudden, it's inside … and you're the hole. You're trapped. And it's all over. Something like that. It's not really scary … except when you think back on it. 'Cause you know what you were feeling … <hr width="50%"> :'''Cal''': What I'm … gonna say … will sound strange. :'''Beth''': What happened? Come inside. :'''Cal''': Could we talk about Buck's funeral? :'''Beth''': Whaaaat? :'''Cal''': It'll seem trivial. But, it's on my mind and I'd like to talk about it. When I was getting dressed for Buck's funeral … :'''Beth''': Calvin, what's the matter with you? :'''Cal''': Just let me get it off my chest,OK? :'''Beth''': What could getting dressed for Buck's funeral … have to do with anything, right now? :'''Cal''': I was wearing a blue shirt. You said, "wear a white shirt and the other shoes." It was nothing at the time, but, it seemed to stay with me. And I, for some reason, had been thinking about it and it suddenly occurred to me, what difference did it make what I wore to Buck's funeral? :'''Beth''': Uh, huh. :'''Cal''': Just hear me out, Beth, it won't hurt you to listen! :'''Beth''': I won't listen to that. No one in their right mind would listen to that! :'''Cal''': I just want to talk about something I always remembered. :'''Beth''': Why do you want to remind me? :'''Cal''': Because I've always wondered, in some needling way, what it mattered what I wore. I was crazy that day. We were going to our son's funeral and you were worried about what I wore on my feet. I'm sure it sounds like nothing to you, but it stuck with me and I just wanted … to tell you about it. == Taglines == * Everything is in its proper place...

Written by [[w:Travis Beacham|Travis Beacham]] and [[Guillermo del Toro]].'' As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse. == Raleigh Becket == *''[Narrating]'' When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions. The Breach. I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco. By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the event, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila. Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned, that this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling its resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Jaeger program was born. There were setbacks at first - the neural load to interface with the Jaeger proved too much for a single pilot. A two pilot system was implemented, left hemisphere, right hemisphere, pilot-controlled. We started winning, Jaegers stopping Kaijus everywhere. But the Jaegers were only as good as their pilots. So Jaeger pilots turned into rock stars, danger turned into propaganda, Kaijus into toys. We got really good at it... winning. Then... then it all changed. * Years before, you wouldn't have picked my brother Yancy and I for heroes. No chance. We were never star athletes, never at the head of the class. But we could hold our own in a fight. And it turned out we had a unique skill - we were drift compatible. ''[we see the two brothers being suited up and then boarding onto their Jaeger]'' * There are things you can't fight - acts of God. You see a hurricane coming, you get out of the way. But when you're in a Jaeger, suddenly you can fight the hurricane. You can win. * ''[To Chuck]'' Apologize to her. I said ''Apologize to her''. * Empty the clip, EMPTY THE CLIP!! == Stacker Pentecost == * Haven't you heard, Mr. Becket? The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger? * ''[To Hermann Gottlieb]'' YOU! SHUT UP! ''[To Newton Geiszler]'' You. Keep talking. * That Kajiu is still alive! * Do not let my calm demeanor fool you, '''RANGER!''' Now is not a good moment for your insubordination! Mako is too inexperienced to reign in her memories during combat. * This conversation is over. * One: don't you ever touch me again. Two: don't you ever touch me again. Now, you have no idea who the hell I am or where I've come from, and I'm not about to tell you my whole life story. All I need to be to you and everybody on this dome is a ''fixed point''. The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear? * Today. Today&ndash; at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in ''each other''. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door, and bring the fight to them. Today, we are ''cancelling the apocalypse!'' * Mako! You can finish this! I'll always be there for you! You can always find me in the drift! * (At Hong Kong Shatterdome) Things have changed. We're not an army anymore, Mr. Becket. We're the resistance. Welcome to the Shatterdome. * War clock. We reset it after every Kaiju attack. Keeps everyone focused. The frequency of attacks is accelerating. *A week, if we're lucky. My experts believe there'll be a Kaiju attack&ndash; even before that. This complex used to lodge&ndash; 30 Jaegers in five bays just like this one. Now we only have four Jaegers left. *Crimson Typhoon, China. One of the greatest. Assembled in Changzhou. Full titanium core, no alloys. Fifty diesel engines per muscle strand. Deadly, precise fighter. She's piloted by the Wei Tang brothers. Triplets. Local lads. They've successfully defended Hong Kong port seven times. They use the Thundercloud formation. *Very effective. That tank, last of the T-90s. Chemo Alpha. First generation Mark 1. The heaviest and oldest Jaeger in the service. But make no mistake, Mr. Becket, it's a brutal war machine. And those two: Sasha and Aleksis Kaidanovsky. *On their watch it stayed unbreached for six years. Six years. == Mako Mori == * ''[In Japanese]'' I imagined him differently. * '' [In Japanese]'' I apologize, Mr. Becket, I've heard a lot about you. * It's not obedience, Mr. Becket. It's respect. * ''[In Japanese]'' For the sake of my family! == Chuck Hansen == * Come on, Gipsy! Kick his ass! * Yeah, he remembers how to turn it on. * Well, my father always said&ndash; he said "if you have a shot, you take it." So let's do this. == Herc Hansen == * Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker. * Oi, show some respect. When his brother died, he got the Jaeger back to shore on his own. I've known one other pilot that's been able to do that. * Now we have a choice here: we either sit here and wait, or we take these flare guns and do something really stupid! == Dr. Newton Geiszler == * Fortune favours the brave, dude. * 2,500 tons of awesome&ndash; Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it. * See, the first wave, that was just the hounds! Categories 1 to 4, it was nothing! Their sole purpose was to aim for the populated areas and take out the vermin: us! The second wave, that is the exterminators, and they ''will'' finish the job! And then, the new tenants will take possession! == Dr. Hermann Gottlieb == * Please excuse him. He's a Kaiju groupie, he loves them. * No Kaiju entrails over my side of the room, you know the rules! Every bloody day! It's incessant! * Numbers do not lie. Politics and poetry, promises - these are lies! Numbers are as close as we get to the handwriting of God. * I have asked you not to refer to me by my first name in front of others. I have more than 10 years&ndash; == Yancy Becket == * ''(to Raleigh)'' Hey kid, Don't get cocky. == Hannibal Chau == * Now tell me what you want before I gut you like a pig and feed you to the skin louse. * Look at them. They believe the Kaiju were sent from heaven. That the gods are expressing their displeasure with our behavior. The silly bastards. * Where is my GODDAMN shoe? ==Dialogue== :'''Tendo Choi''': Good morning, Becket boys! :'''Raleigh Becket''': Tendo, what's happenin', my man? :'''Yancy Becket''': How did that date with Alison go last night, Mr. Choi? :'''Tendo Choi''': ''[we see Tendo in the control room as he talks to the brothers]'' Oh, she loved me. Her boyfriend, not so much. :'''Raleigh Becket''': You're gonna get your ass kicked. :'''Tendo Choi''': ''[Tendo chuckles]'' A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, brother. :''[at that moment, their commanding officer, Pentecost comes up behind Tendo]'' :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Ready to drop, Mr. Choi? :'''Tendo Choi''': Ready to drop, sir. Marshall Pentecost on deck. Securing Conn Pod getting ready to drop. :''[the Jaeger pod is placed in position ready for the drop]'' :'''Yancy Becket''': Ready for the big drop. :'''Raleigh Becket''': Ready to go. ---- :'''American UN Representative''': The Kaiju are learning our defenses. They're adapting, evolving. We're losing Jaeger's faster than we can build them. Lima. Seattle. Vladivostok. Category 4 Kaiju's are now coming through the breach. I think that you can see, Marshall, this is no longer a sound strategy. The frequency of the attacks has increased. The Jaeger's are not the most viable line of defense anymore. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': I am aware. Those are my ranger that die every time a Jaeger falls, which is why I'm asking you for one last chance... :'''British UN Representative''': Excuse me, Marshall. Excuse me! :'''Stacker Pentecost''': One final score with everything that we've got. :'''British UN Representative''': Excuse me! The Jaeger program is dead, Marshall. On the other hand, the coastal wall program is a promising option. :'''American UN Representative''': The world appreciates all that you and your men have done, but it's over. We will authorize you to take all remaining Jaegers to the last battle station in Hong Kong. We're prepared to fund you for the next eight months while the coastal wall is completed. After that, you will receive no further support. :'''Canadian UN Representative''': You have our answer, Marshall. :''[the TV monitors go black as the meeting ends]'' :'''Tendo Choi''': So that's it? It's over? :'''Herc Hansen''': Suits and ties and flashing smiles. That's all they are, Stacker. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': We don't need them. ---- :''[Raleigh leads Stacker inside.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': Step into my office, marshal. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Took me a while to find you. Anchorage. Sheldon Point. Nome&ndash; :'''Raleigh Becket''': Yeah, a man in my position travels with the wall, chasing shifts to make a living. ''[Sits down next to the structure]'' What do you want? :'''Stacker Pentecost''': I've spent the last six months activating everything I can get my hands on. There's an old Jaeger, a Mark 3. You may know it. It needs a pilot. :'''Raleigh Becket''': I'm guessing I wasn't your first choice. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': You are my first choice. All the other Mark 3 pilots are dead. :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[Stands up and steps towards Stacker]'' Look&ndash; I can't have anyone else in my head again. I'm done. I was still connected to my brother when he died. I can't go through that again, man, I'm sorry. ''[Starts to walk away]'' :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Haven't you heard, Mr. Becket? ''[Raleigh stops walking and turns around]'' The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here, or in a Jaeger? :''[Raleigh stares at Stacker, knowing he has no choice but to go with him to the Shatterdome.]'' ---- :''[Raleigh, Mako, Stacker, Newt, and Hermann are taking the elevator to the bottom.]'' :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': Stay back! Kaiju specimens are extremely rare, so look but don't touch, please. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Mr. Becket, this is our research team. Dr. Gottlieb and Dr. Geiszler. :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': Oh, no, call me Newt. Only my mother calls doctor. Hermann, these are human beings. Why don't you say hello? :'''Dr. Hermann Gottlieb''': I have asked you not to refer to me by my first name around others. I am a doctor with over 10 years decorated experience&ndash; :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': ''[Imitating Hermann]'' 10 years of experience! And I'm very sorry. :'''Dr. Hermann Gottlieb''': Oh, please. :''[Newt rolls up his sleeves.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[Notices Newt's tattoos on his arms]'' What is that, Yamarashi? :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': ''[Normal voice]'' Oh, this little Kaiju? Yeah, you got a good eye. :'''Raleigh Becket''': My brother and I took him down in 2017. :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': You know he was one of the biggest Category 3's ever? He was 2,500 tons of awesome. ''[Raleigh gives him a cold look]'' Or awful. You know, whatever you wanna call it. :'''Dr. Hermann Gottlieb''': Please excuse him. He's a Kaiju groupie, he loves them. :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': Shut up, Hermann. I don't love them, okay? I study them. And unlike most people, I wanna see one live and up close one day. :''[The elevator stops at the bottom. Mako and Stacker walk out of it.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[Puts his hand on Newt's shoulder]'' Trust me, you don't want to. ''[Pats Newt on his shoulder and leaves the elevator]'' ---- :''[Gottlieb rushes in while the Gipsy Danger is going through its inaugural trial run]'' :'''Dr. Hermann Gottlieb''': Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': ''[Dismissively]'' Not now, Mr. Gottlieb, I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me&ndash; :'''Dr. Hermann Gottlieb''': Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and drifted with a Kaiju! ---- :''[Newt enters Hannibal Chau's secret lab, where workers are busy dissecting and examining Kaiju body parts. He is astonished by the amount of Kaiju parts in perfect condition.]'' :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': Is that a cuticle? In mint condition? Is that a Kaiju skin parasite? I've never seen one alive before! They&ndash; They usually die as soon as the Kaiju falls! I thought you couldn't keep them alive! :'''Hannibal Chau''': You can, if you soak them in ammonia. :''[Newt turns around and sees Hannibal approach him.]'' :'''Hannibal Chau''': What do you want? :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': I'm looking for Hannibal Chau. ''[Holds up the symbol on the card]'' I was told he was here. :'''Hannibal Chau''': ''[Steps towards Newt]'' Who wants to know? :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': I really can't say. :''[Hannibal whips out his golden balisong and sticks the tip up Newt's right nostril.]'' :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': ''[Yells in pain]'' Stacker Pentecost sent me! :''[Hannibal pulls his balisong off Newt's nostril. Newt holds his nose while groaning in pain.]'' :'''Dr. Newton Geiszler''': ''[Wipes his nose]'' Oh, that's great. That's real great. So I take it you're&ndash; you're Hannibal Chau, right? :'''Hannibal Chau''': You like the name? I took it from, uh, my favorite historical figure and my second-favorite Szechuan restaurant in Brooklyn. Now tell me what you want before I gut you like a pig and feed you to the skin louse. ---- :''[Raleigh and Mako are waiting outside Stacker's office.]'' :'''Chuck Hansen''': ''[From inside the office]'' She can't control her Drift, and he went out of phase first! :'''Stacker Pentecost''': ''[From inside the office]'' We all know what happened. :'''Chuck Hansen''': ''[From inside the office]'' We can't afford mistakes. The Kaiju keep evolving, they keep kicking our asses! He's a has-been, she's a rookie. I don't want them protecting my bomb run, sir. ''[Opens the door and walks out]'' :'''Stacker Pentecost''': ''[From inside the office]'' You need to watch your tone, Mr. Hansen. :'''Herc Hansen''': ''[To his son]'' Hey. ''[Chuck turns to him]'' Stay there. Give me a moment. ''[Closes the door]'' :'''Chuck Hansen''': ''[To Raleigh and Mako]'' You two are a goddamn disgrace! You're gonna get us all killed, and here's the thing, Raleigh. I want to come back from this mission, 'cause I quite like my life. So why don't you&ndash; ''[Flicks Raleigh in the chest]'' &ndash;just do us all a favor and disappear? It's the only thing you're good at. :'''Mako Mori''': ''[Angrily]'' Stop! Now! ''[Raleigh raises his hand to stop her from arguing further with Chuck]'' :'''Chuck Hansen''': Yeah, that's right. You just hold back your little girlfriend. One of your bitches needs a leash. :''[Enraged, Raleigh punches Chuck twice. Chuck punches him back. The two engage in a fistfight, until Raleigh punches Chuck, causing him to spit out blood.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': Apologize to her. :'''Chuck Hansen''': ''[Wipes his mouth]'' Screw you. :''[Raleigh and Chuck keep fighting, until Raleigh throws Chuck against the pipes on the wall, causing Chuck to scream in pain and glare at Raleigh.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': I said, apologize to her. :''[Chuck attacks Raleigh again, but Raleigh overpowers him and twists his arm.]'' :'''Herc Hansen''': ''[Comes out]'' Hey, hey! Enough! What's going on? On your feet, both of you! :''[Raleigh and Chuck stand up as Stacker comes out.]'' :'''Stacker Pentecost''': ''[To Raleigh and Mako]'' Becket, Mori, into my office. :'''Chuck Hansen''': ''[Starts to storm towards Raleigh]'' No, we aren't finished! :'''Herc Hansen''': ''[Grabs his son]'' Hey! This is over! You're a ranger for Christ's sake! Why don't you start acting like one? :''[Chuck shoves his father off and turns and walks off. Herc turns to look at Stacker.]'' ---- :''[Raleigh, Mako, and Stacker are in Stacker's office.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': I went out of phase first. It was my mistake. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': No. It was my mistake. ''[Turns around]'' I should've never let you two in the same machine. :'''Raleigh Becket''': So, what? You're grounding us? :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Not you. :''[Stacker looks to his daughter, causing her to stand up.]'' :'''Mako Mori''': ''[Tearing up]'' Permission to be dismissed, sir. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Permission granted, Miss Mori. :''[Mako bows to her father, then leaves.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[Seeing Mako leaving]'' Mako. :''[Mako glances at Raleigh as she leaves.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[To Stacker]'' Sir, what are you doing? She is the strongest candidate by far. ''[Angrily stands up]'' What other options do we have? Huh? Tell me! :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Do not let my calm demeanor fool you, '''RANGER!''' Now is not a good moment for your insubordination! Mako is too inexperienced to reign in her memories during combat. ''[Starts to leave]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': That's not why you grounded her. ''[Stacker turns around]'' I was in her memories. I saw everything. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': ''[Steps towards Raleigh]'' I don't care what you think you saw. :''[Flashback shows Mako being rescued as a child by Stacker. Scene returns to present day.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': I know what she means to you. I saw it, I&ndash; :''[Stacker leaves the office.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[Follows Stacker out of the office]'' Hey! Hey! :'''Stacker Pentecost''': This conversation is over. :'''Raleigh Becket''': Marshal. Marshal! Can we just talk about this for one second? ''[Grabs Stacker's arm and turns him around]'' You rescued her. ''[Stacker presses a button]'' You raised her. But you're not protecting her now. You are holding her back. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': One: Don't you ever touch me again. Two: Don't you ever touch me again. Now, you have no idea who the hell I am or where I've come from, and I'm not about to tell you my whole life story. All I need to be to you and everybody on this dome is a fixed point. The last man standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance, and your fighting skills. And if I can't get that, then you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I make myself clear? :''[Raleigh nods in resignation. Stacker turns his head toward him and points to his own ear.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': Yes, sir. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': ''[Takes his finger off his own ear]'' Good. :''[Stacker enters the elevator. He and Raleigh look at each other as the elevator doors close.]'' ---- :'''Hermann Gottlieb''': They're adapting. This isn't a defense mechanism, it's a weapon! :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Get me ''Striker''. :'''Tendo Choi''': Nothing, sir. The Mark 5's digital's fried. It'll take me two hours to reroute the auxliary. All the Jaegers, they're digital! :'''Raleigh Becket''': ''[Approaches Stacker along with Mako]'' Not all of them, marshal. ''[Stacker turns to him and Mako]'' ''Gipsy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s analog. Nuclear. :''[Stacker stares at his daughter and Raleigh, knowing he has no choice but to send them out in ''Gipsy Danger'' to face Leatherback and Otachi.]'' ---- :''[Stacker is finishing washing his face when Raleigh enters.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': How sick are you? And why didn't you tell me? :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Uh&ndash; what's to tell? ''[Takes a cloth and uses it to wipe his hands]'' You know, them Mark 1s, we scraped them bad boys together in 14 months. Last thing we were thinking about was radiation shielding. ''[Uses the cloth to wipe his face, then throws it away]'' I ran nearly a dozen missions. I stayed under the medical radar for a while, but&ndash; ''[Takes a folded shirt]'' &ndash;the last time I jockeyed was in Tokyo. I finished the fight solo, but for three hours, I burned. They warned me if I ever stepped foot into a Jaeger again, the toll would be too much. You and I are the only two that ever ran solo combat. That's why I brought you here. :''[Raleigh and Stacker hear a computer beeping. Stacker gets a call from Tendo.]'' :'''Stacker Pentecost''': What is it? :'''Tendo Choi''': Sir, it's happening. I just got two signatures with unprecedented dilation, 40-meter strikes. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': What category? :'''Tendo Choi''': Checking the ratios, Category 4. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Where they headed? :'''Tendo Choi''': That's the thing, they're not heading anywhere. They're hovering just above the Breach. It's&ndash; It's like they're protecting it or something. :'''Stacker Pentecost''': Alright, ''Gipsy'', ''Striker'' on deck. :'''Tendo Choi''': Sir, Herc cannot ride. His arm&ndash; :'''Stacker Pentecost''': You heard me. ''[Heads out]'' ---- :'''Raleigh Becket''': Wait. I think we took this guy out. But just to be safe, we better check for a pulse. :''[to Mako after shooting the monster several times]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': No pulse. ---- :''[Mako swims towards and climbs Raleigh's pod. She opens the hatch to find Raleigh unconscious. Mako removes Raleigh's helmet and checks his pulse.]'' :'''Mako Mori''': I can't find his pulse. I don't think he's breathing. :'''Herc Hansen''': Can you read his pulse? :'''Mako Mori''': Raleigh? :'''Herc Hansen''': Does he have a pulse? :'''Mako Mori''': Raleigh? :'''Tendo Choi''': Mako, listen to me. I think it could be the sensors not working. We can't be sure. :''[Mako pulls Raleigh up. She hugs him while crying.]'' :'''Mako Mori''': ''[Crying]'' No. No. Don't go. Please. :'''Tendo Choi''': Mako. :'''Mako Mori''': Don't go. :'''Tendo Choi''': Mako. :'''Mako Mori''': No. Don't go, please. :''[Mako hears Raleigh's voice.]'' :'''Raleigh Becket''': You're squeezing me too tight. ''[Mako lets go of him]'' I couldn't breathe. :''[Mako chuckles. Everyone in the command centre cheers.]'' :'''Herc Hansen''': This is Marshal Hercules Hansen. The Breach is sealed. Stop the clock! :''[Everyone cheers as the war clock is set back to zero.]'' :'''Tendo Choi''': Mako, Raleigh, we have your position. The choppers are on their way. Just&ndash; just hang on. Are you okay? Do you copy? :''[Raleigh and Mako touch their heads intimately.]'' :'''Tendo Choi''': Uh, guys? :''[Raleigh and Mako embrace as choppers fly above them.]'' ---- :''[Mid-credits scene: Hannibal cuts his way out of the baby Kaiju's stomach.]'' :'''Hannibal Chau''': Where is my goddamn shoe? == Cast == * [[w:Charlie Hunnam|Charlie Hunnam]] as Raleigh Becket, a Jaeger pilot in the PPDC who quit after his brother's death. * [[Idris Elba]] as Marshal Stacker Pentecost, Mako's adoptive father, Raleigh's commanding officer, and the marshal of the PPDC who is suffering from radiation poisoning as a result of piloting the Jaeger ''Coyote Tango''. * [[w:Rinko Kikuchi|Rinko Kikuchi]] as Mako Mori, Stacker's adoptive daughter and Raleigh's co-pilot who lost her family in a Kaiju attack and who was adopted by Stacker. * [[w:Charlie Day|Charlie Day]] as Dr. Newton "Newt" Geiszler, a scientist who is studying the Kaiju alongside Hermann. * [[w:Burn Gorman|Burn Gorman]] as Dr. Hermann Gottlieb, a scientist who is studying the Kaiju alongside Newt. * [[w:Clifton Collins Jr.|Clifton Collins Jr.]] as Tendo Choi, a technician in the PPDC. * [[w:Robert Kazinsky|Robert Kazinsky]] as Chuck Hansen, Herc's son and co-pilot who piloted ''Striker Eureka'' alongside Herc. * [[w:Max Martini|Max Martini]] as Hercules "Herc" Hansen, Chuck's father and co-pilot who piloted ''Striker Eureka'' alongside Chuck. * [[w:Ron Perlman|Ron Perlman]] as Hannibal Chau, a black market dealer who deals Kaiju organs. * [[w:Diego Klattenhoff|Diego Klattenhoff]] as Yancy Becket, Raleigh's older brother and co-pilot who died during a battle with a Kaiju. == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=1663662}} [[Category:2013 films]] [[Category:Action films]] [[Category:American films]] [[Category:Apocalyptic films]] [[Category:Extraterrestrial life films]] [[Category:Monster films]] [[Category:Science fiction films]] [[Category:Technology films]] [[Category:Robot films]] [[Category:Screenplays by Guillermo del Toro]] 6dvacsca6ipt9mjdg76v92xqjcc2tmp Batman: Arkham Origins 0 149896 3147828 3133664 2022-07-26T22:10:59Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* The Joker */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Batman: Arkham Origins|Batman: Arkham Origins]]''''' is a game developed by WB Montreal Studios in 2013.

You two deserve each other. ==The Joker== *''[repeatedly bashes Roman with his gun; as Black Mask]'' CAN'T…YOU JUST…PLAY ALONG!?! *Do you hear that? Sounds like eight tiny reindeer. *I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Must be a bad connection. I thought I heard you say that after I SHOT HIM, and BLEW UP a building on him, THE BAT- SOMEHOW SURVIVED?!!? *I'm the guy with the money… And the gun! *So, when I hire you to kill the Batman, you SHUT THE HELL UP AND KILL THE BATMAN! *Mmmm! This fruitcake is fantastic! Anyone want a piece? *Do they even have manners where he comes from? You see, it's a tradition in my house-to open one present each on Christmas Eve. Hmm…How about…this one? ''[blows up a building, then laughs evilly and sings a bit of "The 12 Days of Christmas"]'' And a partridge in a pear treeee! *NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A PARTY! ''[fires his machine gun at a helicopter]'' *''[after Batman saved him from falling to his death as he didn't want to be saved]'' Now...Why? Why? Why would you ''do'' that? Newsflash: '''''I'm''''' the one who's trying to ''kill'' you! ''[shoots and kills two of his minions; points his pistol at Batman]'' Those were two very, VERY bad men. The things they've done… ''[clicks tongue]'' You really don't want to know. They deserved death-just like me. *You of all people should know, there's nothing so cruel as memory…. the pointy biting little thunderbolts, unwanted party crashers, SCREAMERS through your synapses.. inescapable, unrelenting…. not at all friendly. You can't even escape into MADNESS! *I feel adrift- floating -like someone's pulled the stopper on my reality and I'm SUCKED down the drain into something new. It's all very exciting really. You wouldn't know what that feels like, I'm sure. *It's like meeting someone I can actually relate to-…which believe me, dear, I've NEVER felt before. You understand. You're someone who's not afraid to let go-and fall. Free falling. And I didn't pack a chute. *What our friend Bane holds in his hand is-a heart monitor. Once he clamps it on, every beat of his vacant little heart will charge the battery-…on this electric chair. And when it's fully charged-''[mimicks being electrocuted]'' *Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim. Have a seat, Jimbo. We'll fry together - like two little potato latkes. *Well, I'd love to stay and celebrate your victory, but I've got stockings to stuff, mistletoe to hang, and about 15 skyscrapers to blow up before sunrise. Ciao! ''[runs away, laughing]'' *''[fighting Batman]'' You just can't get through your thick skull! WE BOTH EXIST BECAUSE OF ''THEM!'' *Come on, baby! Beat me 'til your knuckles bleed… And why quit there? You know there's only one way to stop me. ==Lonnie Machin/Anarky== *''[Introduction]'' Oppressed citizens of Gotham, your cries for help have been heard! I am Anarky - voice of the people - here to save you from the plague of corruption that now infests this once proud city! Those hired and elected to keep us free and safe won't lift a finger. ''And why would they?'' They've been bought and paid for, encouraged to turn a blind eye! If they won't act, I will! At dawn's first light, the sources of Gotham's ruin '''WILL. BE. DESTROYED!''' Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of propaganda and consumerist garbage. *''[Contacting Batman]'' Hello, Batman. I was hoping to get a minute of your time. See, I've got a story to tell you. About crime and violence. Greed and vengeance. But it's also a story of redemption. Of second chances. ''Of change.'' I've planted three bombs where Gotham's corruption is at it's strongest. But unlike those I fight to overthrow, I believe in choice. So, I offer you one: Let them detonate or stop them. Your actions will determine what I do with you. *''[Monologue after being defeated.]'' You ever wonder how things got to be so bad here? I do. All the time. :You see- I don't think men like Roman Sionis or Oswald Cobblepot are responsible. They're just a reflection of our apathy. Our greed. Our fear. We look the other way when things turn sour. Bury ourselves in our jobs. Consume propaganda masquerading as entertainment. The message is always the same: ''Don't think. Don't question.'' And what becomes of a society that's given up? ''It rots.'' Fills up with liars, cheaters, and thugs. Uptown and downtown. The suit in the penthouse is no better than the guy selling drugs on the corner. They're both doing whatever it takes to get ahead - never mind the cost. :''Fidelity.'' Once upon a time that's what defined society. People coming together in pursuit of common cause. To care for each other. To protect and provide. We took shelter from the darkness - and the things that roamed it. Community meant progress. But now... It's all ''backwards.'' We worship at the altar of competition. We build fortresses around ourselves. We fight. We betray. We have become the things we feared. :You keep cleaning up after everyone Batman, and no one's going to learn to take care of themselves. The ones that don't hate you - they'll start to rely on you. ''Depend on you.'' And if something happens to you? If you get old? Or bored? ''Or die?'' Then what? Or do you not consider the world that revolves around you? :You're a hypocrite. Running around 'dispensing justice'. Telling people what they can and can't do. You're ensuring Gotham's freedom - provided it conforms to your twisted view. Whatever pleases the Bat. That it? You're not a hero. ''You're a despot.'' You don't enforce justice. You suppress it. There's a way to make this work. To show you that we share the same goals. Maybe I took things too far with the bombs and the threats. I can learn from that. I mean, you could be a mentor to me. And maybe, well, maybe *I* can teach you something too. Because I think you're so busy playing hero you've forgotten what it's like for the rest of us. We're not all as strong as you. We don't have the fancy gadgets. The strength. The skill. But maybe ''that's'' the problem. You've gotten so used to the power, you think you're better than everyone. Above reproach. Is that it, then? We're not as good as you? :You know what - I take it back. I don't want to work with you. You don't have anything to offer. I think I've figured it out. You didn't take me down because I broke the law. No. No, you took me down because you don't want the competition? That's what this is is really about isn't it. Let me ask you something - you ever wonder if '''YOU'RE''' the reason this city's so messed up? Because I have. A ''lot'' of us have... And I'm starting to think we're right. ==Dialogue== :''[After being poisoned]'' : '''Batman''': What did you do to me? : '''Copperhead''': I killed you. And in a few minutes, your body will realize it. Heh, that's it, use your strength. With every effort you hasten your end. <hr width="50%"/> :''[As Batman prepares to leave the Batcave, Alfred, out of nowhere, intercepts him.]'' : '''Alfred''': Master Bruce. Stop. Master Bruce. BRUCE! : '''Bruce Wayne''': ''What are you-'' : '''Alfred''': I '''will''' not in good conscience allow you to go! You are outmatched by these assassins and- : '''Bruce Wayne''': I'm ''what?'' : '''Alfred''': ''You're not some hardened vigilante! You're a young man with a trust fund and too much anger!'' You are in over your head and I don't want this to be your end. : '''Bruce Wayne''': ''(beat)'' Alfred, who do you see when you look at me? The boy whose shoes you used to tie every morning? The teenager you drove to his first date? While you are here every night, I am out there... the ''only thing'' between the innocent and the predatory... : '''Alfred''': You may be, but... : '''Bruce Wayne''': No, not "may be". ''I am!'' When the mugger or the thief stop to think twice, that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins - because '''I''' am the reason the criminals breathe easier when the sun rises. So no, Alfred, I am NOT in over my head. Tonight will not be my end. ''But it will be theirs!'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Batman detonates the explosive gel and confronts Black Mask and his minions in the vault; Black Mask's minions points their guns at him]'' :'''Black Mask''': Think you can just waltz into my bank, huh? :'''Batman''': Roman, I'm here for the Joker. :'''Black Mask''': The Joker? Never heard of him. ''[to the Bank Manager]'' How 'bout you, doll? ''[puts his gun in her face]'' Know the Joker? :'''Bank Manager''': The who? ''[begins to laugh maniacally]'' :''[one of the henchmen brings a man with a bag over his head]'' :'''Black Mask''': And you, sir? Name Joker ring a bell? :''[He pulls the bag off to reveal the real Roman Sionis with duct tape on his mouth. Black Mask then rips the tape off]'' :'''Roman Sionis''': You sunova bitch! You think you can steal from me and get away with it? You're a dead man! Dead! :'''Black Mask''': ''[hits Sionis repeatedly]'' CAN'T...YOU JUST...PLAY ALONG!?! ''[continues to beat him]'' :'''Bank Manager''': ''[continues laughing maniacally]'' You're insane! :''[The minions then drag Sionis and throw him into a truck; Black Mask then takes off his mask to reveal himself as The Joker]'' :'''Batman''': It's been you this whole time-you hired the assassins. You've been running Sionis' operation. :'''Joker''': Well, technically, it's *my* operation now. Isn't that right boys? :''[The minions put on clown masks]'' :'''Batman''': You've got me. Now let her go. :'''Joker''': Oh, life would be so simple if you were all I ever wanted. No-you're just a ''teeny'' little distraction-compared to what I've got up my sleeve. ''[laughs as he shoots his gun at Batman]'' Here! Have a laugh on me. ''[shoves the laughing Bank Manager at him]'' You here that? Sounds like eight tiny reindeer. ''[drives off with his minions as he activates the detonator which causes bombs to blow up]'' :''[Batman grabs the manager and jumps out of the vault as the bomb explodes]'' :'''Batman''': ''[coming to his senses and checks the Bank Manager's pulse]'' She's dead. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gotham City Royal Hotel; Batman watches a security camera in a hotel room with villains having a meeting by The Joker]'' :'''Joker''': ''[as Black Mask]'' Friends, assassins. Welcome to our first quarterly performance review. As you can see here: Batman deaths are coming in far below projections. We are ''really'' going to have to turn this around. ''[takes off and throws the mask in Electrocutioner's hands while playing a game on his phone; normal voice]'' And by we, I mean ''YOU.'' Got that, Mr… Cutioner? :'''Electrocutioner''': Just who the hell - are you? :'''Joker''': I'm the guy with the money… ''[pulls out his pistol]'' And the gun! ''[shoots his pistol several times at Electrocutioner, but deliberately doesn't aim at him]'' So when I hire you to kill the Batman, you SHUT THE HELL UP AND ''KILL'' THE BATMAN! So, do you have-anything-else to contribute? I didn't think so. ''[kicks Electrocutioner through the window, screaming, as he falls to his death; slices off and eats a piece of fruitcake]'' Mmmm! This fruitcake is fantastic! ''[stabs a knife in the table]'' Anyone want a piece? Alright. Meeting's adjourned. Get out there and kill the Bat. ''[the villains all leave the hotel room except Bane, who is in no hurry]'' Move it along, big boy! :'''Bane''': No, he's coming for you now. ''[gets up and walks towards in front of Joker]'' And when he gets here, I'm going to kill him. So YOU wait. ''[pushes Joker into a chair]'' : '''Joker''': ''[laughing]'' Well, this should be interesting! Whee! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Batman walks in the prison chapel and begins to confront the Joker]'' :'''Joker''': Oh bats… ''[cackling and laughing maniacally]'' What a night! ''[Batman grabs and lifts him up]'' Fresh off a kill and back for more, eh? :'''Batman''': Bane's still alive. :'''Joker''': Now that's ''not'' FUNNY. ''[punches Batman in the face and points his gun at him]'' All this - all this rage. All directed at me, and for what? You know if you'd actually let me finish a sentence, You might learn something. You might learn that we're not so different. You might even learn something about yourself. :'''Batman''': You need to learn to shut up. :'''Joker''': You know it's sad, really-makes me feel like you don't care to see the good side of me. Well, I guess learning is a lot to ask from you, meat-for-brains. ==External links== {{Wikipedia}} [[Category:DC Comics]] [[Category:2013 video games]] [[Category:Batman: Arkham (series)]] sp7s4s7ewdu4nhjqgyysokgjv9klh0k Almost Human (TV series) 0 150549 3147559 2887996 2022-07-26T17:46:05Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki '''''[[w:Almost Human (TV series)|Almost Human]]''''' an American science fiction/crime drama that aired from November 17, 2013, through March 3, 2014, on [[w:Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]].

Nothing. :'''John:''' I do plenty with mine. === Arrhythmia [1.06] === :'''Dorian''': When I was decommissioned, the second before it happened I just kept thinking "I really hope there's someone there to wake me up again." I just want to be a cop, man. I just want to be here. And then you woke me up. It was you. You were that person for me, John. :'''John''': Well, we all make mistakes. :'''Dorian''': I want to be that person for him. == Quotes about ''Almost Human'' == * DRNs were created to be cops, but they were also created to have souls. They were designed to feel. That makes them unpredictable and is part of what makes this show interesting. <br /> These machines are almost human. Almost, but not quite. <br /> If we look at the first six episodes as a whole, what we see is how John views Dorian less and less like a machine with each passing day. Dorian views himself less and less like a machine as well. The lines between those who can create and those who are created are getting blurred. <br /> The other line getting blurred on ''Almost Human'' is the one between the fantasy and reality of the show. <br /> One of the things I love about science-fiction is when the fiction is just real enough for the science to seem possible. ** Miranda Wicker, in [http://www.tvfanatic.com/2013/12/almost-human-review-where-the-heart-is/ "Almost Human Review: Where the Heart Is", ''TV Fanatic'' (16 December 2013)] ==Cast and characters== * [[w:Karl Urban|Karl Urban]] - Detective John Kennex * [[w:Michael Ealy|Michael Ealy]] - DRN-0167 * [[w:Minka Kelly|Minka Kelly]] - Detective Valerie Stah * [[w:Mackenzie Crook|Mackenzie Crook]] - Technician Rudy Lom * [[w:Michael Irby|Michael Irby]] - Detective Richard Paul * [[w:Lili Taylor|Lili Taylor]] - Captain Sandra Maldonado == External links == {{wikipedia|Almost Human (TV series)}} * {{IMDb title|2654580|Almost Human}} [[Category:2010s American crime drama TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American police procedural TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:FOX shows]] [[Category:Robots in television]] 3hsoxfkxm5d4jg5d0gly6lbq7volnar Template:Main other 10 151216 3147623 2405016 2022-07-26T18:33:10Z 192.76.8.85 Fix unclosed tag, add documentation wikitext text/x-wiki {{#switch: <!--If no or empty "demospace" parameter then detect namespace--> {{#if:{{{demospace|}}} | {{lc: {{{demospace}}} }} <!--Use lower case "demospace"--> | {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{ns:0}} | main | other }} }} | main = {{{1|}}} | other | #default = {{{2|}}} }}<noinclude> {{Documentation}}</noinclude> aiupu9taivhjxm5g6jpg8n43lsq6p41 Mickey Mouse Club 0 155438 3148001 2813014 2022-07-27T04:17:08Z Arlo Barnes 269486 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1558568 wikitext text/x-wiki '''''[[w:The Mickey Mouse Club|The Mickey Mouse Club]]''''' is an children's variety television show produced by [[w:The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney Productions]], airing in 1955-1959, 1977 and 1989-1995. ==Season 6, Episode 56: C-133: The Mousketeers at Walt Disney World (Telefilm) (recorded in August 1977 and released in November 20, 1977)== :Lisa: (to Allison (her friend), Angel and Curtis) A little step back.

Now, think of that document like a birth certificate for the baby country. The U.S. shot out of England, it cried for a while, had to fend for itself, and the first law that it passed was called... : '''Student''': The United States Constitution. : '''George''': Man, I love it when you interrupt me and you're ''wrong''!

That lady is crying because the man chopped up her brother who was part of the cartel, put him in the trunk, and set the car on fire. : '''Harper''': What does that have to do with math? : '''Alma''': The man owed money. He got killed. That's math. He got chopped up into eleven different pieces and scattered in five different places. That's also math: fractions. === ''Having My Baby'' [1.04] === : '''Harper''' ''[to George]'': Where are we going? : '''George''' ''[to everyone in the restaurant]'': We're going to Chipotle, where a Mexican can be treated with the respect that he deserves.

Daniel’s position is too integral to leave open, even for the week or month good decorum would demand. ''[pause]'' I know the full scope of your history with Daniel. I’ve always known. So while I’d like to put off this conversation, I can’t. Those I answer to, upstairs and elsewhere, are eager for resolution. Knowing how closely you worked with Daniel, I assume you know the breadth of his responsibilities. I’d like you to step into his position. :''[Will shakes his head.]'' :'''Will''': I’d say I’m better off staying where I am, but I don’t even believe that’s true anymore.

Things unraveled. :'''Ed''': Daniel never would’ve said that. Someone else spoke those words. You believe everything you hear? Not as advertised. Not at all. You were supposed to be sharp. That’s what he told me. Things didn’t unravel, Will. I started comprehending. :'''Will''': Comprehending what? :''[Ed unlocks the door.]'' :'''Ed''': A month or two, a year or two. Time’s a whore. As for whom I was playing, who do any of us ever contend with? :'''Will''': What were you comprehending, Ed? :'''Ed''': The work we do: genesis, progress, judgement.

I don’t know. I don’t know. :'''Maggie''': What happened was horrible. But Daniel’s gone. He boarded the train and it crashed. He died along with 36 strangers.

Let's put Yuri/Beck aside for the moment. CIA just sent over a new field report from an agent in [[w:Jakarta|Jakarta]] - a member of the Indonesian Mujahideen Council who has provided very solid information in the past. It looks like we may have a window of opportunity to eliminate Kateb. :'''Miles''': Eliminate? Can't we grab him? :'''Kale''': No, Jakarta won't sanction it. The best we can do is a [[w:AGM-114 Hellfire|Hellfire]] strike from a [[w:General Atomics MQ-1 Predator|Predator]]. :'''Grant''': How soon? :'''Kale''': The day after tomorrow. [[w:United States National Security Council|NSC]] wants an assessment. :'''Tanya''': In 72 hours? :'''Kale''': The bad guys aren't going to sit still because you've got more reading to catch up on. :'''Grant''': When is Will back from his teacher's pet tour? :'''Kale''': Wednesday. You guys prep the file. He can help you write the final. ''[pause]'' And you're going to have to be unanimous. No split decisions when it comes to irreversibles. :''[Kale leaves]'' :'''Tanya''': Irreversibles? :'''Grant''': People you can't un-kill. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tanya''': So it's a no-brainer. He's a bad guy. :'''Grant''': This kind of assessment requires us to build a solid foundation. :'''Miles''': ''[to Tanya]'' You do realize that "surgical strike" is a euphemism for a [[w:Thermobaric weapon|thermobaric warhead]] capable of demolishing this entire block? :'''Grant''': Can we at least agree that Kateb is a legitimate target for lethal action? :'''Miles''': If we take this guy out, we gain nothing new. No intelligence, no leverage, no real justice. Just one less player on a crowded field. :'''Tanya''': Kateb is more than just another player. He's a symbol. He's an [[al-Qaeda]] rock star. :'''Miles''': [[w:Executive Order 12333|Executive Order 12333]] prohibits assassination ''unless'' the target is ''specifically'' engaged in combat against the United States. None of this evidence points to Kateb attacking the United States. :'''Grant''': He's a leader of al-Qaeda. :'''Miles''': He leads a few dozen kids around the jungles of Indonesia in black pajamas. This schmuck doesn't keep me up at night. :'''Tanya''': Will you sleep better after he beheads a few more innocents? :''[Maggie enters]'' :'''Maggie''': You guys need anything? :'''Tanya''': Balls. :'''Grant''': I think we're going to need lunch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles''': With a second source confirming this, our chance of success jumps to over 60%. :'''Tanya''': Where do you even get these numbers? :'''Miles''': Uh, data. Remember that? :'''Grant''': We're never going to have a second source in time. We've got to proceed or not on the basis of this report. :'''Miles''': Then we're still below 50%. Any way to get a visual confirmation of Kateb's arrival at the location? :'''Grant''': No. :'''Miles''': Then we don't know this is real. :'''Tanya''': Real? Source reliability quotient 71%? Targeting accuracy differential 4.3? You want to throw numbers at the problem? You think ''that's'' real? :'''Miles''': ''[to Grant]'' She doesn't belong here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Truxton''': We want to avoid anything that would undermine our ability to act as an effective partner to the Secretary and the Pentagon. We simply lack the resources this kind of reporting would require. Even the preparation... :'''Col. Mitchell''': I hope you won't mind if we skip the foreplay. :'''Truxton''': Certainly. :'''Col. Mitchell''': You don't have to explain to us why you want to keep that bra-burning Congresswoman from poking into your business. Nothing could be clearer. But with all due respect Truxton, why should you be spared the same financial sodomizing we're subjected to twice a year? :'''Truxton''': I see. You want to know what's in it for you. :''[The colonel smiles]'' :'''Truxton''': What's in it for Col. Mitchell, Will? :'''Will''': We maintain a unique position in the intelligence community. By virtue of our inter-jurisdictional portfolio, API is... :'''Col. Mitchell''': Can you please get to the point? :'''Will''': Colonel, API sees everything. We ask for it, we get it. [[w:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], [[w:United States Department of Homeland Security|Homeland Security]], [[w:United States Department of the Treasury|Treasury]], [[w:Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]], [[w:National Reconnaissance Office|NRO]], [[w:National Security Agency|NSA]]... :'''Blue suit''': We are aware. :'''Will''': We like to share with our friends. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fredrick Trident''': If this were entirely our decision, we'd be more than happy to keep the entire intelligence community off limits to Congress. But there are some political realities in play that make that impossible. ''[stands and begins gathering his things]'' :'''Truxton''': A final thought if I might. ''[Trident sits]'' When you left your house this morning wearing that tie, perhaps your wife stopped you at the door. Perhaps she told you how good you looked in that tie. How handsome it was. While I'm sure you love your wife, might I suggest that you have many reasons to distrust her judgment about your tie. Maybe she has a fond memory of another time you wore it. A sentimental attachment. Perhaps she knows your tie collection, and is simply glad you didn't wear one of the ties she dislikes. Perhaps she sensed you were feeling a little fragile and felt like bucking you up a bit. Now imagine for a minute that you sit down here with us, and I say to you how much I admire that tie. Instantly you have another opinion. You don't know me, my taste. We have no sartorial history. No emotional attachment. :'''Frederick Trident''': Yes, but I know you've come here looking for my help. :'''Truxton''': Certainly. No one, no analyst, is without bias, without agenda, without blind spots. ''[pause]'' The gentleman to my right is a remarkable intelligence analyst.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits. * '''Control Voice''': ''[sign-off]'' We now return control of your television set to you, until next week at this same time, when the Control Voice will take you to... The Outer Limits. == Season 1 == === ''[[w:The Galaxy Being|The Galaxy Being]]'' [1.01] === :'''Allan Maxwell''': The secrets of the universe don't mind. They reveal themselves to "nobodies" who care. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The planet Earth is a speck of dust, remote and alone in the void. There are powers in the universe inscrutable and profound. Fear cannot save us. Rage cannot help us. We must see the stranger in a new light - the light of understanding. And to achieve this, we must begin to understand ourselves, and each other. === ''[[w:The Hundred Days of the Dragon|The Hundred Days of the Dragon]]'' [1.02] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Somewhere south of the Mongolian border and north of the Tropic of Cancer, in that part of the world we call the Orient, a slumbering giant has shaken itself to wakefulness. Passed over in most histories as a nation forgotten by time, its close-packed millions in the short span of twenty years have been stirred to a fury by one man: Lee Ching Sung. A benevolent despot in his homeland, Sung stands as an irresponsible threat to peace in the eyes of the rest of the world. William Lyons Selby, candidate for the presidency of the United States, predicted by every poll, survey and primary to be a certain winner in the forthcoming election. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' To Theodore Pearson, not even so monstrous a crime as the assassination of William Lyons Selby justifies an act of war, because there is no war as we knew it, only annihilation. A great American has been killed in the service of his country. Now it is the job of those who continue to serve to carry on guarding our freedom with dignity and unrelenting vigilance. === ''[[w:The Architects of Fear|The Architects of Fear]]'' [1.03] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Is this the day? Is this the beginning of the end? There is no time to wonder. No time to ask "Why is it happening? Why is it finally happening?" There is time only for fear, for the piercing pain of panic. Do we pray...or do we merely run now and pray later? Will there ''be'' a later...or is this the day? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gainer''': Now I don't care what reading of history you take. The pattern is always the same. Whenever a bacterium invasion strikes or a fire rages or a wild beast roams the streets. Then and only then do men stop fighting each other and work together to save themselves. A common enemy, a common fear. That is the only answer. If all the men of the Earth are threatened by an enemy from a hostile planet... well, gentlemen, we are going to create that enemy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Scarecrows and magic and other fatal fears do not bring people closer together. There is no magic substitute for soft caring and hard work, for self-respect and mutual love. If we can learn this from the mistake these frightened men made, then their mistake will not have been merely grotesque. It will have been at least a lesson - a lesson at last to be learned. === ''[[w:The Man with the Power (The Outer Limits)|The Man With the Power]]'' [1.04] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In the course of centuries, Man has devoured the Earth itself. The Machine Age has dried up the seas of oil. Industry has consumed the heartlands of coal. The Atomic Age has plundered the rare elements — uranium, cobalt, plutonium — leaving behind worthless deposits of lead and ashes. Starvation is at hand. Only here, in the void of space, is there a new source of atomic power. Above us, in the debris of the solar system, in the meteorites and asteroids, are the materials needed to drive the reactors. Yet in their distant, silent orbits, these chunks of matter are beyond the reach of man, beyond the reach of human hands, but not beyond the reach of human minds. Driving along a country road in an ordinary car is a modest man: Harold J. Finley, quiet and profound... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vera Finley''': You wouldn't hurt anyone even if you could. You're not a violent man. You've never hated anyone, never. :'''Harold Finley''': Not to hurt them, no, Vera. But I have this power. It acts whether I want it to or not. :'''Vera Finley''': No, Harold, you don't have any power. You've always been quiet. You told me yourself you're too mild, you're too weak. :'''Harold Finley''': No more, Vera! I could split this ceiling open if I wanted to! I could crash down these walls. I could splinter this whole block into bricks and rubble. :'''Vera Finley''': Harold, you're a little man, a nobody. You don't have any power. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Deep beyond the kindest, gentlest soul may lurk violent thoughts, deadly wishes. Someday, Man will learn to cope with the monsters of the mind. Then, and only then, when the human mind is truly in control of itself, can we begin to utilize the great and hidden powers of the universe. === ''[[w:The Sixth Finger|The Sixth Finger]]'' [1.05] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Where are we going? Life, the timeless, mysterious gift, is still evolving. What wonders, or terrors, does evolution hold in store for us in the next ten thousand years? In a million? In six million? Perhaps the answer lies in this old house in this old and misty valley... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gwyllm''': The whole town must be utterly destroyed. An example must be made. :'''Prof. Mathers''': You're wrong. :'''Gwyllm''': The human race has a gift, professor. A gift that sets it above all the other creatures that abound upon this earth. The gift of thought, reasoning, understanding. The highly developed brain. But the human race has ceased to develop. It struggles for petty comfort and false security. There is no time for thought. Soon there will be no time for reasoning and man will lose sight of the truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gwyllm''': Don't be afraid. I came back because I knew you were here. :'''Cathy''': What have you done. :'''Gwyllm''': I was going to destroy everyone. Suddenly, it no longer mattered. I evolved beyond hatred or revenge, or even the desire for power. I feel myself reaching that stage in the dim future of mankind when the mind will cast off the hamperings of the flesh and become all thought and no matter. A vortex of pure intelligence and space. It is the goal of evolution. Man's final destiny is to become what he imagined in the beginning when he first learned the idea of the angels. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' An experiment too soon, too swift. And yet may we not still hope to discover a method by which within one generation, the whole human race could be rendered intelligent, beyond hatred, or revenge, or the desire for power? Is that not, after all, the ultimate goal of evolution? === ''[[w:The Man Who Was Never Born|The Man Who Was Never Born]]'' [1.06] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Here, in the bright, clustered loneliness of the billion, billion stars, loneliness can be an exciting, voluntary thing, unlike the loneliness Man suffers on Earth. Here, deep in the starry nowhere, a man can be as one with space and time; preoccupied, yet not indifferent; anxious and yet at peace. His name is Joseph Reardon. He is, in this present year, thirty years old. This is the first time he has made this journey alone… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andro''': ''[Decrying the present condition of mankind]'' But man was too busy, too busy going to the moon, too busy clubbing his brothers over the head with its new found toy, the atom, to anticipate and resist the parasite that was to suck out his right to immortality. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' It is said that if you move a single pebble on the beach, you set up a different pattern and everything in the world is changed. It can also be said that love can change the future, if it is deep enough, true enough and selfless enough. It can prevent a war, prohibit a plague, keep the whole world... whole. === ''[[w:O.B.I.T.|O.B.I.T.]]'' [1.07] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In this room, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, security personnel at the Defense Department's Cypress Hills Research Center keep constant watch on its scientists through O.B.I.T., a mysterious electronic device whose very existence was carefully kept from the public at large. And so it would have remained, but for the facts you are about to witness… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lomax''': The machines are everywhere! Oh you'll find them all, you're a zealous people. And you'll make a great show of smashing a few of them, but for every one you destroy hundreds of others will be built. And they will demoralize you! Breaks your spirits! Create such rivets and tensions in your society that no one will be able to repair them! Oh, your a savage, despairing planet and when we come here to live you friendless, demoralized, flotsam will fall without even a single shot being fired. Senator, enjoy the few years left you, there is no answer...Your all the same. Dark persuasion! You demand, insist on knowing every private thought and hunger of everyone. Your families, your neighbors. Everyone! But, yourselves. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Agents of the Justice Department are rounding up the machines now. But these machines, these inventions of another planet, have been cunningly conceived to prey on our most mortal weakness. In the last analysis, dear friends, whether O.B.I.T. lives up to its name or not will depend on you. === ''[[w:The Human Factor (1963 The Outer Limits)|The Human Factor]]'' [1.08] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In northern Greenland, the mountains stand like a wall along Victoria Channel, whose straight course marks the line of the great Baffin Fault. Until recently, not even the Eskimos ventured into this arctic waste; but, today, as in other lonely places of the world, the land is dominated by those instruments of detection which stand as a grim reminder of Man's fear of Man. This is Point TABU, a name given this predominantly underground base by a young officer who explained that the letters in TABU stood for 'Total Abandonment of Better Understanding'. Some two hundred men and a few women make this their permanent residence. Their task is to maintain a constant alert against enemy attack, and be prepared to respond to it, devastatingly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Major Roger Brothers''': ''[to Dr. James Hamilton]'' We live in a world of cowards, Dr. Hamilton. Every man is afraid of his brother, and most men try to hide from that awful fact. Even here, the men are afraid to see the evil that is here on this base. And they are responsible for it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' A weapon? No, only an instrument: neither good nor evil until men put it to use. And then like so many of man's inventions, it can be used either to save lives or destroy them, to make men sane or to drive them mad, to increase human understanding or to betray it. But it will be men that make the choice. By itself the instrument is nothing until you add the human factor. === ''[[w:Corpus Earthling|Corpus Earthling]]'' [1.09] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Rocks: silent, inanimate objects torn from the Earth's ancient crust. Yielding up to man over the long centuries all that is in know of the planet on which we live withholding from man forever their veiled secrets of the nature of matter and cosmic catastrophe, the secrets of other worlds in the vastness of the universe, of other forms of life, of strange organisms beyond the imagination of man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Two black crystalline rocks: unclassifiable. Objects on the border between the living and the nonliving. A reminder of the thin line that separates the animate from the inanimate. Something to ponder on. Something to stay the hand when it reaches out innocently for the whitened pebble, the veined stone, the dead unmoving rocks of our planet. === ''[[w:Nightmare (1963 The Outer Limits)|Nightmare]]'' [1.10] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' A war between worlds has long been dreaded. Throughout recent history, Man, convinced that life on other planets would be as anxious and belligerent as life on his own, has gravely predicted that some dreadful form of combat would inevitably take place between our world and that of someone else. And Man was right. To the eternal credit of the peoples of this planet Earth, history shall be able to proclaim loudly and justly that in this war between Unified Earth and the planet Ebon, Ebon struck first. Ebon: Its form of life unknown, its way of life unpredictable. To the fighting troops of Earth, a black question mark at the end of a dark, foreboding journey. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Stone''': There's no leniency for a traitor. None at all. He earned the death penalty all by himself. There's no reason why we should handle Major Jong any differently here than if he were down on Earth. I told you all before we were captured, the only laws we would have here were those we brought with us. We need those laws. Even the questionable ones, even the painful ones. We need them. They remind us that we were civilized enough to make them in the first place. :'''Jong''': Or perhaps to remind us that we are not as civilized as we should be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The exploration of human behavior under simulated conditions of stress is a commonplace component of the machinery called war. So long as Man anticipates and prepares for combat, be it with neighboring nations or with our neighbors in space, these unreal games must be played, and there are only real men to play them. According to established military procedure, the results of the Ebon maneuvers will be recorded in books and fed into computers for the edification and enlightenment of all the strategists of the future. Perhaps they will learn something. === ''[[w:It Crawled Out of the Woodwork|It Crawled Out of the Woodwork]]'' [1.11] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' His name is Warren Edgar Morley. For the past six months, he has guarded this gate from eight in the morning until six at night, at which time he is replaced by another just like himself. These are the last few moments of his life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The [[w:Conservation of energy|Conservation of Energy Law]]... a principle which states that energy can be changed in form but that it cannot be either created or destroyed. And this is true of all energy... the energy of genius, of madness, of the heart, of the atom. And so it must be lived with. It must be controlled, channeled for good, held isolated from evil, and somehow lived with, peaceably. === ''[[w:The Borderland|The Borderland]]'' [1.12] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The mind of man has always longed to know what lies beyond the world we live in. Explorers have ventured into the deeps and the heights. Of these explorers some are scientists, some are mystics. Each is driven by a different purpose. The one thing they share in common is a wish to cross the Borderlands that lie beyond the Outer Limits. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' There are worlds beyond and worlds within which the explorer must explore, but there is one power which seems to transcend space and time, life and death. It is a deeply human power which holds us safe and together when all other forces combine to tear us apart. We call it the power of love. === ''[[w:Tourist Attraction (The Outer Limits)|Tourist Attraction]]'' [1.13] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In man's dark and troubled history, there are vestiges of strange Gods. This stone statue was once such a god a thousand years gone by in the central mountains of Pan-America. Today, new gods have emerged: the god of power, the god of money. The Republic of San Blas lies west of the Orinoco Basin, slightly north of the equator. Its principle exports are coffee, copra, mahogany, mace and saffron. In a hundred odd years, the reigns of government have changed many times in blood and fire and death. The last of these revolutions was led by General Juan Mecurio, the most absolute and powerful ruler of them all. Only the Indians who live close to old gods in the volcanic uplands are unimpressed. They have seen the coming of conquistadors with the power of their guns and flashing flags, the revolutionaries with the power of their zeal and willingness to die, the Americans with the power of their money and bulldozers with their summer houseboats in the crater lake of Ali Papa with their gadgets and machines and devices. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[Act One narration]'' Moving through the deep, protected only by a tank of air and a hunting spear, the scientist/explorer descends beyond the San Blas shelf; but, all unknown to him, the observer is, himself, observed. Hidden in the sinuous rills of seaweed, sightless eyes, blind for centuries, stare out of the abyss. The legendary creature of the deep, sensing through neuro-receptors in its skin, becomes aware of the alien invader - Man... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[Act Four narration]'' Stressed and strained by constant drilling of ultrasonic beams, the concrete face of the dam cracks and falls. Ten million tons of pressure build towards ultimate collapse... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The forces of nature will not submit to injustice. No man has the right, nor will the checks and balances of the universe permit him to place his fellows under the harsh yoke of repression. Nor may he again place the forces of nature under the triple yoke of vanity, greed and ambition. In the words of Shelley, "here lies your tyrant who would rule the world immortal". === ''[[w:The Zanti Misfits|The Zanti Misfits]]'' [1.14] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Throughout history, compassionate minds have pondered the dark and disturbing question: what is society to do with those members who are a threat to society, those malcontents and misfits whose behavior undermines and destroys the foundations of civilization? Different ages have found different answers. Misfits have been burned, branded and banished. Today, on this planet Earth, the criminal is incarcerated in humane institutions.....or he is executed. Other planets use other methods. This is the story of how the perfectionist rulers of the planet Zanti attempted to solve the problem of the Zanti misfits. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hill''': Fifteen minutes is not a long time. In our conception of time. For them it could be long enough to conquer a world. When a country allows itself to be coerced, it has to suffer the consequences. :'''Grave''': So far the only real consequence is uncertainty. :'''Hill''': I've always felt that was one of the worst things a country could suffer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Throughout history, various societies have tried various methods of exterminating those members who have proven their inability or unwillingness to live sanely amongst their fellow men. The Zantis merely tried one more method, neither better nor worse than all the others. Neither more human nor less human than all others. Perhaps merely... non-human. === ''[[w:The Mice (The Outer Limits)|The Mice]]'' [1.15] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In dreams, some of us walk the stars. In dreams, some of us ride the whelming brine of space, where every port is a shining one, and none are beyond our reach. Some of us, in dreams, cannot reach beyond the walls of our own little sleep. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Hunger frightens and hurts, and it has many faces, and every man must sometimes face the terror of one of them. Wouldn't it seem that a misery known and understood by all men would lead Man not to deception and murder, but to faith, and hope, and love? === ''[[w:Controlled Experiment|Controlled Experiment]]'' [1.16] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Who has not seen the dark corners of great cities, whose small and shabby creatures wander without purpose in the secret corners of the night? Without purpose? There are those whose purpose reaches far beyond our wildest dreams. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Who knows? Perhaps the alteration of one small event may someday bring about the end of the world. But that someday is a long way off, and until then there is a good life to be lived in the here and now. === ''[[w:Don't Open Till Doomsday|Don't Open Till Doomsday]]'' [1.17] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The greatness of evil lies in its awful accuracy. Without that deadly talent for being in the right place at the right time evil must suffer defeat. For unlike its opposite good, evil is allowed no human failings, no miscalculations. Evil must be perfect or depend upon the imperfections of others. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Without that deadly talent for being in the right place at the right time evil must suffer defeat, and with each defeat doomsday is postponed for at least one more day. === ''[[w:ZZZZZ|ZZZZZ]]'' [1.18] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Human life strives ceaselessly to perfect itself, to gain ascendancy. But what of the lower forms of life? Is it not possible that they, too, are conducting experiments and are at this moment on the threshold of deadly success? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' When the yearning to gain ascendancy takes the form of a soulless, loveless struggle, the contest must end in unlovely defeat. For without love, drones can never be men, and men can only be drones. === ''[[w:The Invisibles (The Outer Limits)|The Invisibles]]'' [1.19] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' You do not know these men. You may have looked at them, but you did not see them. They are newspapers blowing down a gutter on a windy night. For reasons both sociological and psychological, these three have never joined or been invited to join society. They have never experienced love or friendship, or formed any lasting or constructive relationship, but today, at last, they will become a part of something. They will belong. They will come a little closer to their unrealistic dreams of power and glory. Today, finally they will join th... I almost said the human race, and that would have been a half-truth, for the race they are joining today is only half human. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larry Hillerman''': ''[to his new recruits]'' Welcome, gentlemen. The society which you have voluntarily joined is called "The Invisibles." It is subversive and illegal. It is also powerful and large and it is ready. When the invisibles have become the masters of everyone and everything on this planet, you, the vanguard of this virile and violent inevitability, will sit so high that mankind will come to recognize you by the lines in the soles of your feet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' You do not know these men. You may have looked at them, but you did not see them. They are the wind that blows newspapers down a gutter on a windy night and sweeps the gutter clean. === ''[[w:The Bellero Shield|The Bellero Shield]]'' [1.20] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' There is a passion in the human heart which is called aspiration. It flares with a noble flame and by its light, Man has traveled from the caves of darkness to the darkness of outer space. But when this passion becomes lust, when its flame is fanned by greed and private hunger, then aspiration becomes ambition, by which sin the angels fell. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard Bellero, Sr.''': ''[Arguing with Judith Bellero]'' I spend every hour, every dollar, and every dream developing men and means that are devoted to the prevention of war. That says how much I hate war! And yet I am not sickened or enraged, even by war, as I am by a single soul like yours. Your ambition is singularly the most active form of violence I have ever encountered! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' When this passion called aspiration becomes lust, then aspiration degenerates, becomes vulgar ambition, by which sin the angels fell. === ''[[w:The Children of Spider County|The Children of Spider County]]'' [1.21] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In light of today's growing anxieties it has become more absolute that the wealth of nations consists in the number of superior men that it harbors. It is therefore a matter of deep concern, and deeper consequence, when four of the most magnificent and promising young minds in the country suddenly disappear off the face of the Earth... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The wealth of nations, of a world, consists in the number of superior men that it harbors, and often it seems that these men are too different, too dreaming. And often, because they are driven by powers and dreams strange to us, they are driven away by us. But are they really so different? Are they not, after all, held by the same things that hold us, by strong love and soft hands? === ''[[w:Specimen: Unknown|Specimen: Unknown]]'' [1.22] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' For centuries, Man has looked to the skies and sought to uncover the mystery of the universe. The telescope brought into focus the craters on the moon and the canals on Mars, but it was limited and Man's insistent hunger for knowledge and experience would not be satisfied until he broke the massive chains of gravity and set foot himself on a planet other than his own. Project Mercury was his first venture into space, a testament to his technical ingenuity and courage, a green light to a hundred other projects which would take him still further. This is Project Adonis. A laboratory orbiting a thousand miles above the earth, a tiny far flung world connected only by radio and memory, and inhabited by a handful of men dedicated to removing the unknown for future space travelers. At ten minutes after six, on January 8th, Lieutenant Rubert Howard stumbled upon something clinging to the wall of the space lock that appeared alive. He called them space barnacles for temporary identification. They were not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' There are many things up there. Evil and hungry, awesome and splendid. And gentle things, too. Merciful things... like rain. === ''[[w:Second Chance (The Outer Limits)|Second Chance]]'' [1.23] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' When fear is too terrible, when reality is too agonizing, we seek escape in manufactured danger, in the thrills and pleasures of pretending... in the amusement parks of our unamusing world. Here, in frantic pretending, Man finds escape and temporary peace, and goes home tired enough to sleep a short, deep sleep. But what happens here when night comes? When pretending ends, and reality begins? === ''[[w:Moonstone (The Outer Limits)|Moonstone]]'' [1.24] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In Man's conquest of space, his own moon must be the first to surrender. From there he will step his way across the heavens to the edge of infinity. Each step will be as uncertain as the last, yet each will bring him closer to ultimate truth... Lunar Expedition One: Here a handful of brave scientists and technicians pave the way to the future. Their mission: to collect information that will eventually enable Man to inhabit the Moon; to use the Moon as a springboard to the stars. Once during each twenty-four hour period, a force of three, commanded by General Lee Stocker and including Lieutenant Travers and Major Clint Anderson, makes its slow, uncharted way across the lunar surface, a surface whose depths and desires are, as yet, unprobed... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The steps man takes across the heavens of his universe are as uncertain as the steps he takes across the rooms of his own life and yet if he walks with an open mind, these steps must lead him eventually to that most perfect of all destinations, truth. === ''[[w:The Mutant|The Mutant]]'' [1.25] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' At this very moment, our horizon is menaced by two explosive forces both man-made: one is a deadly wonder, the other wondrously alive. Both forces have compelled man to reach out for worlds beyond his own, new worlds where he may find peace and room to grow. This is the first of those new worlds. The United Nations of Earth have claimed it and called it Annex One. It is almost identical to Earth, except that there is no night. Sunlight is constant. Early reports from the small expeditionary team stationed on Annex One indicated that the ancient planet appeared to be suitable for colonization by Earth's overflowing population, but the most recent reports have contained unspoken, oddly disturbing undercurrents. And the United Space Agency has decided to investigate. The man chosen: Dr. Evan Marshall, psychiatrist. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The forces of violence and the forces of nature compel Man to reach out toward new horizons where peace and sanity may flourish, where there is room to grow. But before we run, should we not first make certain that we have done all that can be done here to end madness, quiet the disturbers of peace, and make room for those who need so little room to grow in? === ''[[w:The Guests (The Outer Limits)|The Guests]]'' [1.26] === === ''[[w:Fun and Games (The Outer Limits)|Fun and Games]]'' [1.27] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' There was a moment in time when those who were brilliant and powerful also were playful, and when they took recess from their exhausting and magnificent strides toward glory, they replenished their darker passions with fun and games. On the planet Earth, such pastimes have been civilized and drained of all but their last few drops of blood. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Laura''': You said you'd explain. :'''The Senator''': When civilized creatures have conquered all that they believe to be worth conquering, then one conquest remains. One elusive conquest. Pleasure. Here on Andera, we are finished with warring, and plundering is done. Our citizens enjoy self-respect, peace, and affluence. But a high order of civilization does not lift the low order of passion. And so such passions must be both appeased and controlled. === ''[[w:The Special One (The Outer Limits)|The Special One]]'' [1.28] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The mold of a man stems from the mind of a child. Educators and emperors have known this from time immemorial. So have tyrants. === ''[[w:A Feasibility Study|A Feasibility Study]]'' [1.29] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The planet Luminos: a minor planet, sultry and simmering, incapacitated. Earth scientists have concluded that there could be no life on Luminos, that it is too close to its own sun, that its inhabitants would be victimized by their own blinding atmosphere. But there is life on Luminos, life that should resemble ours, but doesn't, desperate life suffering of great and terrible need. The Luminoids have begun to search the universe in an effort to gratify that need. They seek a planet on which life is healthy, vibrant, strong and mobile. They need such people: to do their work, to labor and slave for them, to manufacture their splendored dreams. The Luminoids need slaves and they have chosen the planet off which their slaves will be abducted. Not too many at first... a neighborhood perhaps... a neighborhood like mine, or yours. Those who will be abducted sleep in dreamy ignorance, unaware that they are about to become the subjects of a grotesque and sophisticated experiment: a feasibility study. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' "Do not enter upon or cross this area. Do not touch or remove possibly radioactive dirt or rocks. If you have any knowledge concerning this disappearance, please contact your nearest police department." It could have happened to any neighborhood. Had those who lived in this one been less human, less brave, it would have happened to all the neighborhoods of the Earth. Feasibility study ended. Abduction of human race: infeasible. === ''[[w:The Production and Decay of Strange Particles|The Production and Decay of Strange Particles]]'' [1.30] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In recent years, nuclear physicists have discovered a strange world of sub-atomic particles, fragments of atoms smaller than the imagination can picture, fragments of materials which do not obey the laws of gravity. Antimatter composed of inside-out material; shadow-matter that can penetrate ten miles of lead shielding. Hidden deep in the heart of strange new elements are secrets beyond human understanding-new powers, new dimensions, worlds within worlds, unknown. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' As Man explores the secrets of the universe, strange and inscrutable powers await him. And whether these powers are to become forces of destruction or forces of construction will ultimately depend upon simple but profound human qualities: Inspiration. Integrity. Courage. === ''[[w:The Chameleon (The Outer Limits)|The Chameleon]]'' [1.31] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The race of Man is known for its mutability. We can change our moods, our faces, our lives to suit whatever situation confronts us. Adapt and survive. Even among the most changeable of living things, Man is quicksilver-more chameleon-like than the chameleon, determined to survive, no matter what the cost to others... or to himself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mace''': I don't think you understand me, General. I'm not interested in becoming a hero. Nor do I have an overdeveloped sense of duty. I'm doing this because I'm nothing more than an instrument for action. Mr. Chambers knows that also. Between missions, I cease to exist. I am what I've done, and that's not always very pretty. But being ugly is better than being nothing. I have no one, I care for no one, and I'm cared for by no one. So all I have is what I can do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' A man's survival can take many shapes and the shape in which a man finds his humanity is not always a human one. === ''[[w:The Forms of Things Unknown|The Forms of Things Unknown]]'' [1.32] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' There is a fear that is unlike all other fears. It has a special, clammy chill, a deadly gift for inspiring deeper, darker dread. It is the fear of unentered rooms, of bends in lonely roads. It is the fear of the phone call in the middle of the night, of the stranger you recognize, perhaps from a nightmare. It is the fear of the unexpected, the unfamiliar. It is the fear of the unknown. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Murder, madness, and other lurking horrors are the raw certainties that await you in the depths of the unknown. And no switch of time, no twist of plan can cancel your meeting with it. For some night, in some blind panic, you will venture into the world of dark reality. And on that night, you will keep your rendezvous with the unknown. == Season 2 == === ''[[w:Soldier (The Outer Limits)|Soldier]]'' [2.01] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Night comes too soon on the battlefield. For some men it comes permanently, their eyes never open to the light of day. But for this man, fighting this war, there is never total darkness. The spidery beams of light in the sky are the descendants of the modern laser beam -- heat rays that sear through tungsten, steel and flesh as though they were cheesecloth. And this soldier must go against those weapons. His name is Qarlo, and he is a foot soldier, the ultimate infantryman. Trained from birth by the state, he has never known love, or closeness, or warmth. He is geared for only one purpose: to kill the enemy. And the enemy waits for him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[Act One narration]'' Time is fluid. The waters of forever close — and passage may not be completed. The present and the future are for a moment united. And the Enemy, half-today, half-tomorrow, is locked between… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' From the darkest of all pits, from the soul of man, come the darkest questions. Did the soldier finally come to care for those he protected? Or was it just his instinct? Questions from the dark pit, but no answers, for answers lie in the future. Is it a future in which men are machines born to kill? Or is there time for us? Time. All the time in the world. But is that enough? === ''[[w:Cold Hands, Warm Heart|Cold Hands]]'' [2.02] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The most brilliant planet in our solar system is Venus, named for the Greek Love-Goddess. It is closer to Earth than any other planet — twenty-eight million miles away. Until sometime in the last half of the twentieth century it is still a planet shrouded in mystery, enveloped in a heavy blanket of clouds and steam. Because its surface temperature was believed to be several times that of Earth's, it was not thought possible for Man to reach Venus and come back... until one day, somebody did it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeff Barton''': ''[to his wife]'' I love you more than anything in this world... You're the only "world" I can discover over and over again, every time I come home to you, every time I'm close to you. You're the best of all possible worlds. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The eternal, never-ceasing search for knowledge often leads to dark and dangerous places. Sometimes it demands risks not only of those who are searching, but of others who love them. These, in their own special way, know that knowledge is never wasted, nor is love. === ''[[w:Behold, Eck!|Behold, Eck!]]'' [2.03] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Since the first living thing gazed upward through the darkness, man has seldom been content merely to be born, to endure, and to die. With a curious fervor he has struggled to unlock the mysteries of creation and of the world in which he lives. Sometimes he has won. Sometimes he has lost. And sometimes, in the tumbling torrents of space and time, he has brief glimpses of a world he never even dreams. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Paradoxically, man's endless search for knowledge has often plundered his courage and warped his vision, so that he has faced the unknown with terror rather than awe, and probed the darkness with a scream rather than a light. Yet there have always been men who have touched the texture of tomorrow with understanding and courage. Through these men, we may yet touch the stars. === ''[[w:Expanding Human|Expanding Human]]'' [2.04] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' As far back as men have recorded their history, veils have been lowered to disclose a vast new reality — rents in the fabric of Man's awareness. And somewhere, in the endless search of the curious mind, lies the next vision, the next key to his infinite capacity... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peter''': What difference does it make, whether it's 20 minutes or 20 years, since neither amounts to the faintest echo of the tiniest whisper in the thunder of time? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peter''': But don't you see, you'll be doing exactly what you say your fighting: killing. Using force because your certain your right. :'''Roy''': But it wouldn't be the same thing because we'd be advocating nothing, forcing nothing. Now there are many stong men in the world today fighting for tolerance, compassion, wisdom, for your right to be different, to be wrong even. They wouldn't be touched. Only the dogmatists, the infallible. :'''Peter''': But that's trying to play God. You just can't do that. :'''Roy''': Why not if God's too busy? Who to say its not his will, that we're not his agents? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Some success, some failure, but either way the gnawing hunger to know is never sated, and the road to the unknown continues to be dark and strange. === ''[[w:Demon With A Glass Hand|Demon With A Glass Hand]]'' [2.05] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Through all the legends of ancient peoples&nbsp;— [[w:Assyria|Assyria]]n, [[w:Babylonia|Babylonia]]n, [[w:Sumer|Sumer]]ican, [[w:Semitic|Semetic]]&nbsp;— runs the saga of the Eternal Man, the one who never dies, called by various names in various times, but historically known as [[w:Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]], the man who has never tasted death&nbsp;... the hero who strides through the centuries&nbsp;... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Battle''': I'm prepared to die. :'''Trent''': How prepared? Why not give yourself a couple of minutes? :'''Battle''': We all knew we would die when we came on this mission. It was worth it. :'''Trent''': You can stay alive in this time. :'''Battle''': I don't care about that. Helping my race is more important. :'''Trent''': Bargain week on patriots. :'''Battle''': Call it what you like. I'm not afraid to die. :'''Trent''': Really? Then why are you whispering? You Kyben were always super patriots, especially when you bombed Earth from ten miles out. How does your patriotism sit with burning women and children alive? :'''Battle''': That's war. :'''Trent''': So's this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Like the Eternal Man of Babylonian legend, like [[w:Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]], one thousand plus two hundred years stretches before Trent. Without love. Without friendship. Alone: neither man nor machine, waiting. Waiting for the day he will be called to free the humans who gave him mobility. Movement, but not life. === ''[[w:Cry of Silence|Cry of Silence]]'' [2.06] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In the not-distant future, the sound of man will invade those unknown depths of space which as yet we cannot even imagine. In his own world, there are no places left beyond the reach of his voice. His neighbor is no longer just next door, but anywhere at the end of a wire. And it all began when prehistoric man discovered the art of communication. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' 'And the light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.' The sound of man probes the dimensionless range of space seeking an answer. But if it comes, will he hear? Will he listen? Will he comprehend? === ''[[w:The Invisible Enemy (The Outer Limits)|The Invisible Enemy]]'' [2.07] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' In the vast immensities of cosmic space, bold adventurers streak their way to join battle with strange enemies on strange worlds. The alien, the unknown, perhaps even the invisible, armed only with Man's earthbound knowledge... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Battle joined. Casualties? Yes. Resolution? Victory, of a sort. A painful step from the crib of destiny. On another day, a friend, perhaps, instead of a deadly peril. Part of the saga of the Space Pioneers. === ''[[w:Wolf 359 (The Outer Limits)|Wolf 359]]'' [2.08] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Outward stretches the quest for truth. Stars without end. Timeless infinities. A billion billion galaxies. Man's imagination reaches out and out while betimes the farthest reaches of knowledge are found in the smallest places... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jonathan Meridith''': Final report, Dundee Planet, star system Wolf 359. The experiment is finished. My planet is destroyed. My recommendation to the Dundee Foundation change the planet selected. Its not a place we can land our spacemen, but the project is feasible. A planet can be recreated in a laboratory. The odds are... the odds are, Mr Dundee, the next time... the next time, it'll be a place of some love and warmth like our planet Earth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' There is a theory that Earth and sun and galaxy and all the known universes are only a dust mite on some policeman's uniform in some gigantic super-world. Couldn't we be under some super-microscope... right now? === ''[[w:I, Robot (1964 The Outer Limits)|I, Robot]]'' [2.09] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' God looked upon his world and called it good. But man was not content. He looked for ways to make it better and built machines to do the work. But in vain we build the world, unless the builder also grows. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Out of every disaster a little progress is made. Man will build more robots and learn how to make them better.

For man-made savagery is only the instrument for a secret terror stirring from its dark place of ambush... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Man looks up at the stars and dreams his futile dreams. Child of the universe, his toys are ignorance. His games: fantasy. Not even the master of his own fate, it is the devil's puppeteer who stretches his fingers to answer the question: What will happen next? === ''[[w:The Inheritors (The Outer Limits)|The Inheritors]]'' (Part 2) [2.11] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The earth, tumbling grain of sand in the darkness of unending space, plays host to a strange and awful guest: unsought, uninvited, possessor of fearsome power, purveyor of dark deed, a relentless traveler on the road to its mysterious goal... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The Inheritors are on their way. In a universe of billions of stars, there are places of love and happiness.

It reaches to the end of the imagination, then beyond into the mysteries of dreams, hoping always to convert even the dreams into reality for the greater well-being of all mankind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' The curious mind cannot be chained. It is a free mind endlessly searching for the greater freedom that must eventually make every living being joyfully complete within himself, therefore at peace with himself and his neighbors. === ''[[w:The Duplicate Man|The Duplicate Man]]'' [2.13] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' Since the first day that Man stared up at the stars and saw other worlds, there has been no more haunting question than this: What will we find there? Will there be other creatures and will they be like us? Or when that ancient dream comes true, will it turn into a nightmare? Will we find on some distant frozen planet an alien life of unimaginable horror? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' In all the universe, can there be creatures more strange than the species called Man? He creates and destroys. He fumbles and makes mistakes. But the thing which distinguishes him is his ability to learn from his mistakes. === ''[[w:Counterweight (The Outer Limits)|Counterweight]]'' [2.14] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The great unknown: limitless heavens crowded with sparking mysteries, challenging man's curiosity. But the heavens are not oceans. Man cannot push a boat into its currents and set sail for the next horizon. The heavens are a mystery only science can solve as it penetrates the unknown. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harvey Branson''': The greatest danger? I don't know, there's so many. Maybe the worst are the ones we make for ourselves by seeing things that don't exist except in our own imagination. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Panic button pressed. Passengers returned. One side always in the sunlight, the other always in darkness; the known and the unknown.

Except one: the legend of the Gordian knot. A knot so intricate and convoluted that no man could untie it, for there are problems so perplexing that they're seemingly impossible to solve when man ventures to the outer limits of his experience. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Control Voice''': ''[closing narration]'' Man is forever solving the most perplexing problems as he ventures ever further into the unknown. But where are the outer limits of his ingenuity? Will he ever encounter a problem, a gordian knot which he cannot ultimately cut? === ''[[w:The Probe|The Probe]]'' [2.17] === :'''Control Voice''': ''[opening narration]'' The persistence of Man's curiosity led him into new worlds.

The truth is, you're more of a man today than you were yesterday. :'''Lester Nygaard''': How do you figure? :'''Lorne Malvo''': It's a red tide, Lester, this life of ours.

We could do that. Or you could go get in your car and drive away. :'''Gus Grimly''': Now, why would I do that? :'''Lorne Malvo''': Because some roads you shouldn't go down. Because maps used to say, "there be dragons here." Now they don't. But that don't mean the dragons aren't there. :''[tense pause]'' :'''Greta Grimly''': ''[over the radio]'' Dad. Come in, Dad.

That you chose to walk into the light instead of into the darkness. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': So I got two kinds of sandwiches, tuna and turkey. Tuna's for the fish.

This is just odd. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Stavros Milos''': You're looking at the Supermarket King Of Minnesota, la mercado rey. And it all started right here in this office. Next quarter, we're expanding into Wisconsin and the Dakotas. By this time next year, rule the whole goddamn midwest. You see my mangos? Straight from Ecuador, kiwis too.

And then there's the kind of deal you're looking at now. :'''Molly Solverson''': Which is? :'''Lou Solverson''': Which is, if I'm right...savagery, pure and simple. Slaughter, hatred.

And then he said, like, a riddle. :'''Molly Solverson''': What's that about a riddle? :'''Gus Grimly''': Like, um, how come the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color? :'''Molly Solverson''': 'Cause of predators. Used to be, we were monkeys, right? And in the woods, in the jungle, everything's green.

One day, the man sees another article. He decides he was foolish to think just giving money was enough. So he goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, I want to donate a kidney." The doctors do the surgery. It's a complete success. After, he knows he should feel good, but he doesn't, for people are still suffering. So he goes back to the doctor. He says, "Doctor, this time I want to give it all." The doctor says, "What does that mean, 'Give it all'?" He says, "This time I want to donate my liver. But not just my liver. I want to donate my heart, but not just my heart. I want to donate my corneas, but not just my corneas. I want to give it all away. Everything I am. All that I have." The doctor says, "A kidney is one thing, but you can't give away your whole body piece by piece. That's suicide." And he sends the man home. But the man cannot live knowing that the people are suffering and he could help. So he gives the one thing he has left: his life. :'''Gus Grimly''': And does it work? Does it stop the suffering? :'''Ari Ziskind''': You live in the world. What do you think? :'''Gus Grimly''': So he killed himself for nothing? :'''Ari Ziskind''': Did he? :'''Gus Grimly''': Well, I mean... what are you saying? :'''Ari Ziskind''': Only a fool thinks he can solve the world's problems. :'''Gus Grimly''': Yeah, but you gotta try, don't you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lorne Malvo''': It was the Romans, wasn't it? :'''Stavros Milos''': What are you saying? :'''Lorne Malvo''': St. Lawrence, your window, Romans burned him alive. :'''Stavros Milos''': They did. :'''Lorne Malvo''': You know why? :'''Stavros Milos''': Cause he was Christian. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Maybe. But I think it was because the Romans were raised by wolves. The greatest empire in human history, founded by wolves. You know what wolves do. They hunt. They kill. It's why I never bought into the jungle book. Boy is raised by wolves and becomes friends with a bear and panther. I don't think so. I knew a guy once, had a hundred and ten pound Rottweiler, and one night this girl thought it would be funny to get down on all fours and let the dog hump her. Dog still had its balls. Well the dog gets up there, but he's not in on the joke. This is just a bitch in heat as far as he's concerned. He's not leaving til he gets what he came for. Well the girl, too late, realizes the kind of mistake she's made. She wants to get up. But the dog had other ideas. Had to shoot it behind the ear to get it off of her. :'''Stavros Milos''': I don't uh... I don't... :'''Lorne Malvo''': Well, I'm saying that the Romans raised by wolves, they see a guy turning water into wine, what do they do? They eat him. 'Cause there are no saints in the animal kingdom. Only breakfast and dinner. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ari Ziskind''': This is a community. People watch each other's backs. Someone gets sick, someone dies, you bring a casserole, help. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Maybe I'm here to help. :'''Ari Ziskind''': No, you have black eyes. You're trouble. I'm going inside, and I'm calling the cops. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Which building? The one with the Jew bus outside? :'''Ari Ziskind''': There it is. Now the truth comes out. :'''Lorne Malvo''': You know, some people think you don't need alarms on second-story windows. Think they can save a few bucks, you know, and still be safe. Another way they save money is they don't hook up the alarm to the phone line. So the bell rings, but the cops don't come. Or they come, but only after the neighbors call. Which, um, if this community's tight, as you say, you know just might be quick enough to save your life. Or your children's lives. === ''Buridan's Ass'' [1.06] === :'''Parking Lot Cashier''': Ticket, please. :'''Stavros Milos''': I changed my mind. I decided... God. He told me.

Or did you want to kill me standing? :'''Lorne Malvo''': Two hombres took a run at me in Duluth. :'''Mr. Rundle''': Mexicans? :'''Lorne Malvo''': That's the wrong part of the sentence to be focusing on. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lorne Malvo''': This one ''[pointing to the first phone on Rundle's desk]'' calls an ambulance, that one ''[pointing to the second phone]'' calls the hearse. I'm going to ask you again, and depending on the answer, I pick up this ''[points to first phone]'' or that ''[points to second phone]''. Who do I talk to in Fargo? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gina Hess''': I know a little something about greasy palms. === ''The Heap'' [1.08] === :'''FBI Agent Pepper''': The file room. A room with files. Say you took one of them out. :'''FBI Agent Budge''': Took it where? :'''FBI Agent Pepper''': Doesn't matter. Let's say you took one of the files out. Is it still the file room? :'''FBI Agent Budge''': Now I'm saying that you and I both agree that the file room minus one file is still the file room. Now, let's say you took another one out, and then another. If the file room minus one file is still the file room, and you keep subtracting one at a time, you could end up with zero files. I'm saying logically. Or even negative files, and it would still... :'''FBI Agent Pepper''': How do you have negative files? :'''FBI Agent Budge''': No, I'm just, logically I'm saying. 'Cept no one is taking files, they just bring more. :'''FBI Agent Pepper''': What about a cemetery? I mean, remove one body from a cemetery, it's still a cemetery, but a cemetery with no bodies, what's that? :'''FBI Agent Budge''': Condos. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lorne Malvo''': ''[to Mr. Wrench]'' I watched a bear once. His leg was in a steel trap. It chewed through bloody bone to get free. It was in Alaska. Died about an hour later facedown in a stream. But it was on his own terms, you know? You got close. Closer than anybody else. I don't know if it was you or your partner, but look. If you still feel raw about things when you heal up, come see me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ida Thurman''': Heard you got some flowers. :'''Molly Solverson''': Some people do love to flap their lips. :'''Ida Thurman''': More than once what I heard. :'''Molly Solverson''': Well, there's a suitor is all I'm prepared to say. :'''Ida Thurman''': Vern was so bad at courtship. One time, he gave me a bouquet of poison ivy. Picked it himself. :'''Molly Solverson''': He's up in Duluth, my gentleman. Has a daughter. :'''Ida Thurman''': What's his name? :'''Molly Solverson''': I call him Sergio. He's a pirate I think. :'''Ida Thurman''': Very funny, you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bill Oswalt''': Look, you can't... that's just how it is, sometimes. Life. You know, you go to bed unsatisfied. They're calling the lottery numbers on the TV and you get the first few and already in your mind you're buying a jet or a fjord or whatever, but it's just not meant to be. It's just not meant to be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lester Nygaard''': You know, you can go through your whole life without a care, and one day it all changes. People die. They lose their homes. They go to prison. It's calamity, huh? I know it, 'cause I lived it. And if this year has taught me anything-- and believe me, I've seen it all-- it's that the worst does happen. And you need to be insured. === ''A Fox, A Rabbit And A Cabbage'' [1.09] === :'''Burt Canton''': I'm not afraid to admit it. Well, she's something else, that Jemma. Just between us girls, that body, is it... I mean... What's she like in the sack? :'''Lorne Malvo''': Hellcat. It's the only word for it. :'''Burt Canton''': Shit. Yeah. Weezy's basically a Jew in the bedroom. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Oh, you mean she wears a wig, makes you do it through a hole in the sheet, yeah. :'''Burt Canton''': No. No, no. She stopped putting it in her mouth soon as the ring went on her finger. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Well, that's a national tragedy, Burt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greta Grimly''': Hey, um, go fishing later? :'''Lou Solverson''': You're the granddaughter I always wanted but was afraid to buy online. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jemma Stalone''': Oh, mick mike. I just keep pinching myself. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Well, honey, you've earned it. It's like my mama always said, "boys, if you like the milk, buy the freakin' cow." :'''Jemma Stalone''': Oh, that's so sweet. Well, I am gonna stick my whole thumb up your ass later. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Aces. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lorne Malvo''': ''[after shooting three people]'' This one's on you. I worked this guy for six months, Lester. Six months. Can you imagine the number of sewer mouths I put my hands in? The gallons of human spit? Plus the hundred thousand ballot down the toilet, but still, the look on his face when I pulled the gun? Classic, huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': Had a case once, back in '79. I'd tell you the details, but it'd sound like I made 'em up. Madness, really. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Bodies? :'''Lou Solverson''': Yes, sir. One after another. Probably, if you stacked 'em high, could've climbed to the second floor. Now, I saw something that year I ain't ever seen, before or since. I'd call it animal. Except animals only kill for food. This was-- Sioux Falls. Ever been? :'''Lorne Malvo''': Went to Sioux City once back in my scandalous days. But anyway, you didn't answer my question there. :'''Lou Solverson''': Well, I'll tell you what. You, uh-- you leave me your number. I'll make sure Lester gets it next time he comes in. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Well, that's a solid offer, friend, but like I said, I'm just passing through. Thanks for the pie and the coffee. Haven't had a piece of pie like that since the Garden of Eden. === ''Morton's Fork'' [1.10] === :'''Lester Nygaard''': MY WIFE IS DEAD! And there are arrangements to see to. So you can either lock me up or let me go. :'''Molly Solverson''': [on Lorne Malvo] He's not gonna stop. You know that. A man like that... maybe not even a man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lester Nygaard''': You know, I'm not sure what you've had against me since day one. But I'm not the person you think I am, this, this kind of monster. :'''Molly Solverson''': There was a fella once. Running for a train. And he's carrying a pair of gloves, this man. And he loses a glove on the platform. But he doesn't notice. And then later on, he's on the train sitting by the window, and he realises that he's just got this one glove left. But the train's already started pulling out of the station. So what does he do? He opens the window and he drops the other glove on to the platform. Now whoever finds the first glove can just have the pair. :'''Lester Nygaard''': So, what are you telling me? :'''Molly Solverson''': Goodbye, Mr. Nygaard. :'''Lester Nygaard''': Goodbye, Deputy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bill Oswalt''': ''[to Molly]'' I used to have positive opinions about the world, you know, about people. Used to think the best. Now I'm looking over my shoulder. An unquiet mind, that's what the wife calls it. The job has got me staring into the fireplace, drinking. I never wanted to be the type to think big thoughts about the nature of things and...all I ever wanted was a stack of pancakes and a v8. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gus Grimly''': I figured it out. :'''Lorne Malvo''': Good for you. :'''Gus Grimly''': Your riddle-- shades of green. I figured it out. :'''Lorne Malvo''': ''[irritated]'' And? :''[Gus kills Malvo]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gus Grimly''': They're gonna give me a citation for bravery. :'''Greta Grimly''': You? Come on, you're afraid of spiders. :'''Gus Grimly''': Buzz Aldrin was afraid of spiders, and he went into space. :'''Molly Solverson''': Proud of you, hon. :'''Gus Grimly''': They really should be giving it to you. :'''Molly Solverson''': No. No, this is your deal. I get to be chief. == Season 2 == === ''Waiting for Dutch'' [2.01] === :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You wear short pants till you prove you're a man. :'''Rye Gerhardt''': I'm a man. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You're the comic in a piece of bubble gum! :'''Rye Gerhardt''': Well, I mean, says you. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You got till tomorrow to bring the collection money you owe. :'''Rye Gerhardt''': Or what? :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You make me wait for you again, I'll cleave your skull. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rye Gerhardt''': Look, there's two ways this can go... :'''Judge Mundt''': ''[sarcastically]'' Is one of them "the hard way"? :'''Rye Gerhardt''': This isn't one of those optional check "A" or "B" scenarios. I'm gonna change your mind. :'''Judge Mundt''': ''[sighs]'' One day, the Devil came to God and said, "Let's make a bet between you and me for the soul of a man." And from on high they looked down on Job, a devout man, religious. And the Devil said, "I can change his mind and make him curse your name." And God said, "Try and you will only fail." So the Devil begins. He kills Job's herds and takes his fields. He plagues him with boils and throws him on the ash heap. But Job's mind remains unchanged. So I ask you, son, if the Devil couldn't change Job's mind, how the hell are you gonna change mine? :'''Rye Gerhardt''': What? :'''Judge Mundt''': You're a little dim, aren't you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': It's a diner robbery in Minnesota, Karl. Not a presidential assassination. :'''Karl Weathers''': Oh, sure. That's how it starts-- with something small, like a break-in at the Watergate Hotel. But just watch. This thing's only getting bigger. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Karl Weathers''': Unacceptable is what it is. A woman like that in the prime of her... With a young daughter! Tell her if [[John McCain]] could hold out for 5 1/2 years against Viet Cong thumbscrews, she can beat this cancer bullshit in her sleep. :'''Lou Solverson''': I'll make sure to mention that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': Your dad said he'd be over Sunday in a suit of armor. :'''Betsy Solverson''': Ugh. Geez. You light one souffle on fire... === ''Before The Law'' [2.02] === :''[Dodd and Dent are torturing a man]'' :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': Fought in the trenches in France - World War I. He was an artillerieschuetzen, my granddad, a gunner. Blasted mustard gas at the Allies. Had them dancing like poisoned rats. Brits caught him in a raid, hung him by his thumbs for six days straight. So this, what we're doing, this is nothing. ''[beat]'' Are you listening to me? Is he listening to me? :'''Hanzee Dent''': Cut off his ears. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': Wake him up. :'''Hanzee Dent''': He's dead, I think. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': Weak. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joe Bulo''': Management says acquire the territory, we acquire it. Whether that's cash down or sending bodies to the morgue, that's up to the Krauts. First Gerhardt to switch sides gets a shiny, red apple. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peggy Blumquist''': We got a plan, you know? :'''Constance Heck''': The word "we" is a castle, hon, with a moat and a drawbridge. And you know what gets locked up in castles? :'''Peggy Blumquist''': Dragons? :'''Constance Heck''': Princesses. Don't be a prisoner of "we". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hank Larsson''': I'm gonna radio ahead and make sure you make it out of State. If not, I'm gonna put out an APB and have you boys rounded up. And then we'll talk again. You understand? :'''Mike Milligan''': I do. And isn't that a minor miracle? The state of the world today and the level of conflict and misunderstanding, that two men could stand on a lonely road in winter and talk calmly and rationally while all around them, people are losing their mind. You have a nice day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hank Larsson''': After WWII, we went six years without a - without a murder here. Six years. And these days, well... Sometimes wonder if you boys didn't bring that war home with ya. === ''The Myth Of Sisyphus'' [2.03] === :'''Lou Solverson''': Say, you wouldn't by any chance be Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers, would ya? :'''Mike Milligan''': You make us sound like a prog-rock band. "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers." ''[A Kitchen brother grabs a shotgun]'' Double whoops. :'''Lou Solverson''': Easy. :'''Mike Milligan''': Minnesota cop. You do know you're in North Dakota, right? :'''Lou Solverson''': Must've got lost on the way to the lake. :'''Mike Milligan''': So, where'd you say you saw old Skip? :'''Lou Solverson''': At your mother's house. I think going in the backdoor. :'''Mike Milligan''': I like him. I like you. Met another fella from Minnesota yesterday. Big guy, sheriff, I think. I liked him, too. :'''Lou Solverson''': We're a very friendly people. :'''Mike Milligan''': No, that's not it. Pretty unfriendly, actually. But it's the way you're unfriendly, how you're so polite about it. Like you're doing me a favor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hanzee Dent''': No drugs, your dad says. Says anyone sells to you gets the axe. :'''Simone Gerhardt''': Geez, you're all a bunch of squares. Sometimes a girl just wants to bust a nut, ya know? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hank Larsson''': Rye Gerhardt - raised without the proper moral fiber, I'm thinking. I mean, to kill all those people, and for what? You know, a little money? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed Blumquist''': You sure about this plan? :'''Peggy Blumquist''': It'll work. Like I said, my uncle used to drive his truck and drink Old Milwaukee. And, you know, insurance don't want to pay for accidents when you're drunk, so he came up with this plan. Every crack-up, he'd drive his truck to some deserted spot till he sobered up, fake a new accident to cover the damage he did drinking. :'''Ed Blumquist''': Well, it's creative. :'''Peggy Blumquist''': So, that's what we do. We cover the damage, file a report, and then, I mean, that should do it. We got rid of the - I mean, the guy's all ground up, and you burned his clothes, you said, so, once the car's fixed, it's - We're free. You been a real paladin. :'''Ed Blumquist''': A... what's that? :'''Peggy Blumquist''': It's like a knight. My knight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': Am I the only one here who's clear on the concept of law enforcement? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Floyd Gerhardt''': Maude Schmidt's boy here is trying to tell me your brother killed a judge. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': Nobody killed a judge. We own all the judges. What'd be the point of killing one? :'''Ben Schmidt''': Now, Dodd... :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': Don't you "Dodd" me. We're not friends. :'''Ben Schmidt''': We found Rye's prints on the gun. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You're gonna find my boot on your neck, you keep talking like that. :'''Lou Solverson''': Well, now, to be fair - I'm the one who found the gun, so I think you're dancing with the wrong girl. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': What'd you say? :'''Lou Solverson''': I says, I'm the one who found the gun, so you should be talking to me. And I'm from out of town, so forgive me if I should be terrified, but in Minnesota, when a police officer says talk, you talk. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You want to dance? Let's dance. === ''Fear and Trembling'' [2.04] === :'''Sonny Greer''': Look, I-I was in 'Nam, yeah? Out there, they called me "Mad Dog," so you just-- you watch your, uh... :'''Hanzee Dent''': Do you miss it? :'''Sonny Greer''': What? :'''Hanzee Dent''': Well, the-- the country-- you know, the wet, the heat, the bugs? Do you miss that? :'''Sonny Greer''': God, no. :'''Hanzee Dent''': It's this quiet I can't get used to, this frozen winter. :'''Sonny Greer''': Yeah, well... Can't argue with ya. :'''Hanzee Dent''': Did you work the tunnels? :'''Sonny Greer''': The-- :'''Hanzee Dent''': "Send the Indian," they'd say. "Who cares about booby traps? Give Hanzee a flashlight and a knife and send him down into the black echo." Moving through the earth like a rat, killing off Charlie, taking his ears. :'''Sonny Greer''': Ears? :'''Hanzee Dent''': You got to push their faces down into the dirt so they don't scream and wake the others. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Simone Gerhardt''': You know what depresses me? I missed the '60s-- free love, drop acid, Woodstock. Wake up one day, decide you want to call yourself Flower Rainblossom, you just call yourself Flower Rainblossom. :'''Mike Milligan''': Yeah, but the '70s were always coming, like a-- What do you... A hangover. And you know what happened to Flower Rainblossom? She's on methadone in Bismark, turning tricks for breakfast meat. :'''Simone Gerhardt''': I know. But at least I would've had fun, be free like how you get to dream before you wake up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Floyd Gerhardt''': Maybe, when you look at me, you see an old woman, and I am 61. I've borne six children, had three miscarriages. Two of my sons are here today. Two were stillborn. My firstborn, Elron, killed in Korea - gook sniper took off half his head. The point is don't assume, just because I'm an old woman, that my back is weak and my stomach's not strong. I make this counter because a deal is always better than war. But no mistake - we'll fight to keep what's ours to the last man. :'''Joe Bulo''': You're a good woman. I wish I'd known your husband. :'''Floyd Gerhardt''': No. My husband would've killed you where you stood the first time you met. So be glad you're talking to his wife. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joe Bulo''': That's the problem with a family business. Now, if one of my men defies me, puts a deal in jeopardy, I take his arm. If he talks out of turn, I take his tongue. But you, your children, your grandchildren...what are ''you'' willing to do to show us you're committed? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': You didn't fight, did you, Ed - in the war? :'''Ed Blumquist''': No, sir. 4-F on account I got the one kidney. :'''Lou Solverson''': So... There's a look a boy gets when he's been shot or a - or a land mine takes off his legs, and he's laying there in the mud, trying to get up, 'cause he doesn't feel it yet. :'''Ed Blumquist''': I, uh, don't... :'''Lou Solverson''': His - his brain hasn't caught up with the reality, which is... he's already dead. :'''Peggy Blumquist''': Ed, he's scaring me. :'''Lou Solverson''': But we see it, the rest of us. And we lie. We say, "Lay still. You're gonna be fine." If you'd been to war, you'd know the look. See, you and Peggy, you got the look. === ''The Gift of the Magi'' [2.05] === :'''Mike Milligan''': She was a true gloom, my mother. We used to eat in the dark. For a laugh, I wrote on her tombstone, "Here lies Barbara Milligan, happy till the end." Me, on the other hand, I'm an optimist. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': Personally not sure why you're makin' all this effort. :'''Ed Blumquist''': Gonna buy the shop, be my own boss. :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': And? :'''Ed Blumquist''': And what? That's the American dream. :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': What's the point? Just gonna die, anyway. :'''Ed Blumquist''': What do you mean? :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': Camus says knowing we're all gonna die makes life a joke. :'''Ed Blumquist''': So what, you just - you just give up? :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': You could kill yourself, get it over with. :'''Ed Blomquist''': Okay, that - that's not... I-I mean, come on, you gotta - you gotta try. :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': No. :'''Ed Blomquist''': You go to school, you get a job, you start a family. :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': Die. :'''Ed Blomquist''': That's - Would you please stop saying that? I'm gonna live a long, long life. My - my grandpa was 96. :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': At which point he did what? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You actually like it, huh, taking orders from a woman? Was that how it was in the bedroom with Kathy? :'''Bear Gerhardt''': Don't you talk about her. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': She strap one on, bend you over the bed, and show you who's boss? :'''Bear Gerhardt''': There's gonna be a reckoning one day, brother. All souls are called to account for their actions. In the end, we all get what we deserve. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': You keep telling yourself that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ronald Reagan''': The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause him to withdraw his presence him from us, we shall be made a story and a byword throughout the world. A troubled and afflicted mankind looks to us. My friends, I believe that you and I together can keep this rendezvous with destiny. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': ''[to Simone]'' You think you're grown, is that it? What? With your clothes and your hair and no bra? Like you know somethin' about the world? Being grown's got a price. Kid gets slapped when he's bad. When you're grown, you get the fist. Or the knife. === ''Rhinoceros'' [2.06] === :'''Ed Blumquist''': This is all just so crazy. And I can't stop thinking about that book. Noreen's book. It's, like, stuck in my head. :'''Lou Solverson''': What? What book? :'''Ed Blumquist''': It's about this guy who, every day, he - he pushes this rock up this hill. Like a boulder. And then every night, it just rolls back down. But he doesn't stop. You know, he just - he keeps goin'. And - and he wakes up every day and starts pushin'. By which I-I-I guess I'm - I'm sayin' it doesn't matter what they throw at me. I'm gonna take care of what's mine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dodd Gearhardt''': ''[to Simone]'' A whore's life is five good years, five bad years, and then some half-dick sweat stain grinds you out like a cigarette. Like a goddamn spent cigarette. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hank Larrson''': My question for you is, how come after you hit that fella, you didn't just drive to the hospital or waved down a passin' motorist and ask 'em to call the cops? :'''Peggy Blumquist''': You say it like these things happen in a vacuum. Like it's a test. Check "A" or "B". But it's like decisions you make in a dream, ya know? I'll tell you what, if it was me, and we had to run I wouldn't look back. For what? The dazzle? This house? This is Ed's house. He grew up here. His mom washing his undies, his father taking his paper to the commode. You ask me how come I buy all these magazines? I'm livin' in a museum of the past. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hank Larrson''': ''[to Dodd]'' Son, I could fill out a steamer trunk with the amount of stupid I think you are. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Karl Weathers''': ''[to Ed]'' Well, son, rest assured whatever your status, I shall defend you till your last breath. I mean my last breath. Excuse the obvious death penalty snafu. I'm slightly inebriated. === ''Did you do this? No you did it!'' [2.07] === :'''Hank Larrson''': My wife passed last summer. We were up in Brainerd, visitin' my sister. Last thing she said to me - "Do you smell toast?" :'''Floyd Gerhardt''': Different roads, same destination. :'''Hank Larrson''': I suppose. But the question is - for you, I mean - how far does it go? Husband dead, plus your youngest, grandson in jail, and now Dodd's missin', we hear. :'''Floyd Gerhardt''': Old-timers had it worse. Used to be 10 born, 2 survived - consumption, scalpings, smallpox, wolves. :'''Hank Larrson''': Well, it's a question of what you can live with, I suppose - how many ghosts. I-I shot a man through the teeth in Vichy, France. I still see his face every night before bed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Milligan''': There's a man. :'''Ben Schmidt''': What - what man? :'''Mike Milligan''': Just a man. He works in a factory. One day, the boss gets it in his mind that this man is stealing from him. So, every night at the gate, the guards search his wheelbarrow. But they never find anything. :'''Ben Schmidt''': Pat him down. :'''Mike Milligan''': Oh, they do that. Strip him naked - nothin'. :'''Ben Schmidt''': So he's not stealin'. :'''Mike Milligan''': Of course he is. :'''Lou Solverson''': Wheelbarrows. :'''Mike Milligan''': Thank you. That's right. He's stealing wheelbarrows. :'''Ben Schmidt''': What? :'''Mike Milligan''': My point is sometimes the answer is so obvious you can't see it because you're looking too hard. See, we can't leave because we're the future, and they're the past. The past can no more become the future than the future can become the past. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hamish Broker''': Braverman stood for you, said, "He's not like the other darkies. This one's smart, capable." But that is not what I'm seeing. :'''Mike Milligan''': And I appreciate the opportunity... sir, believin', as I do, like the good Dr. King said, "A man should be judged on the content of his character, not the color of his skin." :'''Hamish Broker''': Yeah, he's dead. You're gonna need a different quote. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Milligan''': So... is this a conversation about how it's time for me to pack up and go home? :'''Lou Solverson''': No. Don't have to go home. It's a big country. Just maybe don't be here. :'''Mike Milligan''': Are you familiar with the phrase "manifest destiny"? :'''Lou Solverson''': Yeah, but see, here's the thing. I own two pairs of shoes - a summer pair and one for winter. We're not meant to have more than we can handle, is what I mean. So, this need for conquest, you know, tryin' to own things that aren't meant to be owned... :'''Mike Milligan''': Like people? :'''Lou Solverson''': That's an example. But also places - believin' we can tame things. That's a problem, right?... Not a solution. :'''Mike Milligan''': You're saying capitalism is a problem? :'''Lou Solverson''': No... Greed... Makin' this thing all or nothin'. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Simone Gerhardt''': Please. Please! It's not... We're family! :'''Bear Gerhardt''': None of us are family anymore. :'''Simone Gerhardt''': Please! Pl-please, just banish me. Like you said, shave my head. Run me out of - I'll go! I'll go away and never... You don't have to. :'''Bear Gerhardt''': Hush now. It's already done. === ''Loplop'' [2.08] === :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': And here I am, tied up for no reason, a concerned citizen just walking past, and I - and I hear a cry for help. :'''Ed Blumquist''': No, you're a Gerhardt. :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': And you're shit on my shoe. Why don't you come here and let me wipe you off? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed Blumquist''': ''[to Peggy about Dodd]'' Hon, you got to stop stabbing him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed Blumquist''': Today's your lucky day, Mike. I've got Dodd Gerhardt in the trunk of my car. You want him? :'''Mike Milligan''': Sir, if I kiss you when we meet, would that be inappropriate? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed Blumquist''': Maybe you heard of me - the Butcher of Luverne. :'''Mike Milligan''': I have heard of you. And may I say, brother, I like your style. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dodd Gerhardt''': ''[to Ed]'' Son, you got yourself a woman problem. How I know is they've been plaguing me my whole life. What's the joke? Can't live with them, can't turn them into cat food. Personally, I don't see the value in all that talking and the mood swings and the lack of rational thinking, which, brother, your bitch has got that in spades. See, the male of the species has got the potential for greatness. Look at your kings of old. [[Napoleon]], [[Genghis Khan|Kublai Khan]], Samson. Giants made of muscle and steel. But these women, even in those Bible movies, you see a Delilah and, uh, Scheherazade. I want to tell you my own private belief here. I think Satan is a woman. Think about it. === ''The Castle'' [2.09] === :'''Hank Larsson''': Well, that went wrong in a hurry. :'''Lou Solverson''': You comin'? :'''Hank Larsson''': No. Good to have at least one grown-up here, don't you think? :'''Lou Solverson''': I'm gonna call my boss, see if he can stop this madness on a bureaucratic level. :'''Hank Larsson''': Worth a shot. :'''Lou Solverson''': This thing's officially out of control. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jeb Cheney''': You Minnesota boys don't got much in the way of backbone, now, do ya? :'''Hank Larsson''': Well, now, I wouldn't say that. Just like to think things through. :'''Jeb Cheney''': Mm. Army? :'''Hank Larsson''': Yes, sir. Liberated France in the great war. Not single-handedly, but I like to think they couldn't have done it without me. :'''Jeb Cheney''': Well, then, you know it's the generals that do the thinkin' and everybody else just says, "How high?" :'''Hank Larsson''': I'm not gonna debate the merits of top-down decision makin' with ya, Captain. 'Cept to say I had a lieutenant in the war, and h-he told [[Dwight Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] to go to hell once, on account of his orders woulda got us all killed. And I send that man a card every Christmas - 'cause I can. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Floyd Gerhardt''': Three times, I sent men to do a job. Three times, they come back unfinished.

On high. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peggy Blumquist''': It's just a flyin' saucer, Ed. We gotta go. === ''Palindrome'' [2.10] === :'''Mike Milligan''': Sovereignty is absolute power and authority. :'''Ricky G''': Like a king? :'''Mike Milligan''': Exactly. Which is who I am - your king. :'''Ricky G''': Uh, it's America, brother. We don't do kings. :'''Mike Milligan''': Oh, we do. We do. We just call them something else. See, today is my coronation day. And on coronation day, I've always believed a new king should start his reign with an act of kindness. :'''Ricky G''': Right on. :'''Mike Milligan''': And an act of cruelty. That way, your subjects know that you're capable of both - God and monster. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': Camus says knowin' we're gonna die makes life absurd. :'''Betsy Solverson''': Well, I don't know who that is. But I'm guessing he doesn't have a 6-year-old girl. :'''Noreen Vanderslice''': He's French. :'''Betsy Solverson''': Ugh, I don't care if he's from Mars. Nobody with any sense would say something that foolish. We're put on this earth to do a job. And each of us gets the time we get to do it. And when this life is over and you stand in front of the Lord... Well, you try tellin' Him it was all some Frenchman's joke. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou Solverson''': I was there at the end, you know? After the war, when Saigon fell, on the USS Kirk patrolling the coast. And when the country went, it went fast. And we had, like, you know, 24 hours to get everybody out. And not just Americans, but our allies, the South Vietnamese, all packed onto boats and helicopters. We stood on the deck and waved them in. And one by one, they'd land, unload, and then we'd push the whirlybirds into the sea. The damndest thing. But then, this Chinook comes. And those things - you can't just land one on a ship this size. So we wave them off. But the pilot's got his whole family inside, and he's running out of fuel, so it's now or never. So he hovers over the deck. People start jumping - scared or not - onto the ship. There's a baby - literally a-a tiny baby and the mother just - just drops him. And one of my boys like catching a ball, just sticks out his hands. So, now everybody's out, and I'm thinking, "How the heck is this pilot"- right? - "How's he gonna get out?" But he maneuvers off the port bow, and he hovers there for the longest time doing, you know, what we learned later - uh, takin' off his flight suit. And somehow he rolls the bird on its side, and just before it hits the water, he jumps. 6,000 pounds of angry helicopter parts flyin' all around him. And somehow he makes it. How'd he do that? :'''Peggy Blumquist''': What are you sayin'? :'''Lou Solverson''': Your husband, he said he was gonna protect his family no matter what. And I acted like I didn't understand, but I do. It's the rock we all push - men. We call it our burden, but it's really our privilege. :'''Peggy Blumquist''': I never meant for any of this to happen. You know? Not to Ed. Not to anybody. I just wanted to be someone. :'''Lou Solverson''': Well, you're somebody now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Book''': What'll you do then, I wonder? Join a-a new empire? :'''Hanzee Dent''': Maybe start one of my own. :'''The Book''': So that it, too, may one day collapse and fall into the sea. Do I take it you'll try to get revenge on Kansas City, apprehend those responsible? 'Cause you can bet Kansas City will be heavily guarded. :'''Hanzee Dent''': Not apprehend. Dead. Don't care "heavily guarded". Don't care "into the sea". Kill and be killed. Head in a bag. == Season 3 == === ''The Law of Vacant Places'' [3.01] === :'''East Berlin Official''': We are not here to tell stories, we are here to tell the truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Valet''': No tip? :'''Ray Stussy''': Ya.

Yeah. Simpatico. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sy Feltz''': It's, see your firm, Narwhal, like I said last year, we borrowed a hefty sum.

I'm just assessing the level of stupidity. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Attendant''': Are they with you? :'''V. M. Varga''': Surmise. :'''Attendant''': What? :'''V. M. Varga''': Because we arrived together, we are together. Surmise. :'''Attendant''': Well, are ya? :'''V. M. Varga''': Yes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gloria Burgle''': The old way works just fine. Type out a report, send it via telex. :'''Moe Dammick''': You do know what year it is, right? The future. We don't use - Who uses telexes anymore? :'''Gloria Burgle''': So that's why no one ever writes me back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nikki Swango''': So, even if they wanted to solve it, the police, what possible solve is there, besides unfathomable pinheadery? <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.

Thanks for the beer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Howard Zimmerman''': Let me ask you something. Do you know about science? :'''Gloria Burgle''': Do I know about...? :'''Howard Zimmerman''': About science. Well, science has this thing - it's been proven - they call it "quantum"... something. It talks about how we're all just particles... we're floating out there... we're moving through space. Nobody knows where we are. And then every once in awhile... "BANG!" We collide. And suddenly for maybe a minute, we're real. And then we float off again. As if we don't even exist. I used to think it meant something. These collisions, the people we found. :'''Gloria Burgle''': And now? :'''Howard Zimmerman''': Don't let the door hit you on the way out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vivian Lord''': ''[about Thaddeus]'' He was right.

Got it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Winnie Lopez''': We've been tryin', me and Jerry, for months now. Like those old roadrunner cartoons with the wolf and the sheepdog, how you punch a clock to go to work. It's mostly missionary, if I'm being honest. We used to spice it up, but now it's about the shortest distance between two points. He'd pop faster from the back, if I'm being honest, but I think it's important to look each other in the eyes when it comes to making babies. <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.M. Varga''': You see it, don't you? Millions of people bought houses they couldn't afford, and now they're living on the streets. Eighty-five percent of the world's wealth is controlled by one percent of the population. What do you think is going to happen when those people wake up and realize you've got all their money? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Hey, I just charge for parkin'! :'''V.M. Varga''': You think they're going to ask questions when they come with their pitchforks and their torches? You live in a mansion. You drive a $90,000 car. :'''Emmit Stussy''': It's a lease, through the company! :'''V.M. Varga''': Look at me. Look at me. This a $200 suit. I'm wearing a second-hand tie. I fly coach. Not because I can't afford first - because I'm smart. So look at you, look at me, and tell me who's the richer? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Well, I-I feel like this a trick question. :'''V.M. Varga''': There's an accounting coming, Mr. Stussy. Mongol hordes, and what are you doing to insulate yourself and your family? You think you're rich? You've no idea what rich means. Rich is a fleet of private planes filled with decoys to mask your scent. It's a bunker in Wyoming and another in Gstaad. So that's action item one: the accumulation of wealth. And I mean ''wealth'', not money. :'''Emmit Stussy''': What's action item number two? :'''V.M. Varga''': To use that wealth to become invisible. ===''The House of Special Purpose'' [3.05]=== :'''Nikki Swango''': You have made me the happiest woman ever.

Varga''': You have a fat wife. :'''Sy Feltz''': Excuse me? :'''V.M. Varga''': Which part of what I just said is giving you trouble? :'''Sy Feltz''': This is ''my'' office! :'''V.M. Varga''': A fat woman is inherently untrustworthy as she is a sensualist; she sees no real difference between a pastrami sandwich and a dick in the mouth. <hr width=50%/> :'''V.M. Varga''': Do you know what a chicken is? :'''Sy Feltz''': What? :'''V.M. Varga''': A chicken. Do you know what a chicken is? A chicken is an egg's way of making another egg. You see, it's all a matter of perspective. The chicken sees it one way, the egg another. So let's start again: this is ''not'' your office, just as your wife would ''not'' be your wife if I came to her in the night with a platter of cold cuts. <hr width=50%> :'''Sy Feltz''': We're in trouble here. Enemies are at the gates - inside the gates! Fornicating with our cookware! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nikki Swango''': I'm sorry. Who are you? :'''Yuri''': [says something in Russian] :'''Nikki Swango''': What? :'''Meemo''': He said, "Pretty girls should only open their mouths when they see a dick." :'''Nikki Swango''': Well, just so I'm clear, which one of you is the dick? ===''The Lord of No Mercy'' [3.06]=== :'''V.M. Varga''': The First World War was started by a sandwich. On June 28th, 1914, Gavrilo Princip, one of seven conspirators, failed to blow up the Archduke of Austria with a hand grenade. Demoralized, Gavrilo stopped for lunch at Schiller's delicatessen on Franz Joseph Street in Sarajevo. But as he was eating, the Archduke's driver, lost, pulled up outside the restaurant and stopped. Fate had delivered Gavrilo's target to him, and he would not miss twice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sy Feltz''': You're talking about doubling the size of the company in six months! :'''V.M. Varga''': ''Three'' months. :'''Sy Feltz''': It's a lot of debt! Just to line our pockets? Shouldn't we... I'm just sayin'... the more cautious approach. Why not? :'''V.M. Varga''': Because the shallow end of the pool is where the turds float. Emmit? :'''Emmit Stussy''': No one ever got anywhere stayin' home, Sy. :'''Sy Feltz''': And what does ''that'' mean? :'''Emmit Stussy''': It means we're either doin' this, or we're not doin' this. Whether you step off the board with one foot or two, you still end up in the water. :'''Sy Feltz''': Okay. But what about the IRS? You said yourself, he's sittin' in a conference room, right now, goin' over the books! :'''V.M. Varga''': ''Some'' books. Not ''the'' books. :'''Sy Feltz''': What the heck does ''that'' mean? :'''V.M. Varga''': Let's just say, for testimonial purposes, it's better that you don't know. :'''Sy Feltz''': You think the IRS won't - this is what they do! Tax cheats! :'''V.M. Varga''': Middle managers and movie stars. People who park their money in a Denver Wells Fargo under their mother-in-law's maiden name. But I assure you, the IRS could not unravel an intricate web of shell companies and loan-outs with secret accounts in Monaco, Luxembourg, and the Cook Islands if you gave them the account numbers. :'''Sy Feltz''': What? :'''V.M. Varga''': I'm beginning to think that finance is more of a hobby with you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.M. Varga''': Eden Valley. Is that a nice town? :'''Gloria Burgle''': We got a Tastee Freeze and a Dairy Queen. :'''V.M. Varga''': Will wonders never cease. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emmit Stussy''': You win. I'm done. Whatever you want, just tell me. [Ray gapes at him in shock.] I co-signed the mortgage, you think I don't have a key? :'''Ray Stussy''': Came for my money. :'''Emmit Stussy''': The dalmatian at the bank. You poured her in the trash, the dog. I got her for Grace when she was seven. :'''Ray Stussy''': Laverne. :'''Emmit Stussy''': She didn't live that long. Car got her, but we'd grown attached. :'''Ray Stussy''': I was looking for my stamp. :'''Emmit Stussy''': You know, I was thinking about it on the way over. I can't think of a single person doesn't like me, except you. :'''Ray Stussy''': That's what they say to your face. :'''Emmit Stussy''': No, Ray! I'm a fair man! I treat people honestly, help 'em when they're down! :'''Ray Stussy''': ''Them'' you help! :'''Emmit Stussy''': When did I not help you, kid? Everything you asked! Co-signing the mortgage, repairs for the car! :'''Ray Stussy''': I'm not less than you. Some child that needs– :'''Emmit Stussy''': Ray, come on. We've done this already. Been doing it for twenty years. ''Enough''. [Pause. Emmit stands up, picking up a picture frame by his feet. He walks over to Ray and shows it to him, revealing the stamp inside. Ray takes it and looks at it.] It's finished, okay? Words said in anger, crimes committed, we've both done things. It's a certain madness, I think. Brotherhood. Buttons you push in me, that I push in you, grudges...but I don't want that anymore. So...I'm giving you the stamp. :'''Ray Stussy''': [pause] Well, you're not giving it to me. :'''Emmit Stussy''': No, I am. :'''Ray Stussy''': You can't give me what was mine from the start! :'''Emmit Stussy''': [sighs] Okay. :'''Ray Stussy''': No, that's...take it. [He holds out the frame.] :'''Emmit Stussy''': It's yours. :'''Ray Stussy''': I said take it! :'''Emmit Stussy''': I don't want it. :'''Ray Stussy''': Take the damn stamp! [He pushes the frame into Emmit's chest.] :'''Emmit Stussy''': [shoves him back] Stop! :'''Ray Stussy''': Take it! [He shoves him again.] :'''Emmit Stussy''': '''Stop!''' [He pushes back, and the frame slams into Ray's face and shatters, dropping to the floor. Ray, dazed, finds a piece of glass in his neck and puts his fingers around it.] :'''Emmit Stussy''': Don't. ''Don't!'' [Ray pulls it out, he groans as blood sprays from his neck.] Jesus! :'''Ray Stussy''': Emmit. E–emmit. :'''Emmit Stussy''': Ray... [Emmit watches in horror as Ray drops to his knees, lays down, and bleeds to death.] <hr width=50%/> :'''V.M. Varga''': Mr. Stussy. Do you know what Lenin said about Beethoven's ''Piano Sonata Number 23''? Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, not the bloody walrus. He said, "I know nothing that is greater than the Appassionata, but I cannot listen too often. It affects one's nerves, and makes one want to say kind, stupid things, and stroke the heads of those who, living in such a foul hell, can create such beauty. Better to beat the person unmercifully over the head." Where are you, Mr. Stussy? :'''Emmit Stussy''': There's been an accident. :'''V.M. Varga''': Things of consequence rarely happen by accident. :'''Emmit Stussy''': Can you come? :'''V.M. Varga''': Give me the address and I'll leave immediately. :'''Emmit Stussy''': I'm at Ray's. <hr width=50%/> :'''Emmit Stussy''': Did anyone see you? :'''V.M. Varga''': I'm so rarely seen, maybe I don't even exist. [Varga looks over to the living room, where Meemo whistles, having appeared from nowhere and examining Ray's body.] :'''Emmit Stussy''': What's he doing here? :'''V.M. Varga''': You called for help. This is what help looks like. :'''Emmit Stussy''': I wanted to find his pulse, but I was afraid. :'''V.M. Varga''': Afraid you'd leave fingerprints? Where else might we find your fingerprints? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Uh, I came in that door. :'''V.M. Varga''': So the knob, inside and out. :'''Emmit Stussy''': And, uh, that frame, the glass. :'''Meemo''': Bury the body, missing person? :'''V.M. Varga''': [walks over and picks up a picture frame] No. Collect the frame and the stamp, and leave the glass. [to Emmit] Is there someplace you're supposed to be right now? [taps Emmit's forehead] ''Is there someplace you're supposed to be right now?'' :'''Emmit Stussy''': What time is it? [Varga shows Emmit his watch] A meeting, a dinner. :'''V.M. Varga''': Which is it, a meeting or a dinner? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Uh, dinner. :'''V.M. Varga''': With whom? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Sy. :'''V.M. Varga''': Which restaurant? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Uh, it's in my phone. :'''V.M. Varga''': Never mind, never mind. Listen, this is important. If the restaurant has a back door, go to the bathroom and wash your face and hands in very cold water, then go the table. That way, if any witnesses see you, they won't be able to time your arrival. Do you understand? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Yeah, but– :'''V.M. Varga''': Emmit! Look at me. Are you listening? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Yeah. :'''V.M. Varga''': Your brother...was killed, by his ex-convict girlfriend. He'd been abusing her, you see? Beating her in places that don't show. Ad tonight she'd had enough, so she cut his throat. And watched him bleed. Now, the police will contact you tonight to inform you of his death. Be upset, not too upset. Volunteer nothing, you haven't seen him for days, you haven't spoken to him– :'''Emmit Stussy''': I called him on his cell. :'''V.M. Varga''': When? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Yesterday. :'''V.M. Varga''': Right. Well, there'll be a record of that. Did you speak for long? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Just a few minutes. :'''V.M. Varga''': All right. Well, it's just a quick call, just to catch up, innit? Be vague. :'''Emmit Stussy''': I didn't mean to. :'''V.M. Varga''': No one ever does. [to Meemo] Walk him to his car, out in the back. Make sure you're not seen. ===''The Law of Inevitability'' [3.07]=== :'''Emmit Stussy''': Sy tells me you're in self-storage. :'''Ruby Goldfarb''': Me and my late husband. We started in mortuaries. :'''Emmit Stussy''': Ah, just another kind of storage, I suppose. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Moe Dammick''': ''[shows Nikki a picture of Ray's corpse]'' He's dead, in case you couldn't tell. Lady cop who printed you said you're a little tender. Around the middle, maybe? Got some bruises. See, I'm a simple guy. When it snows, I put on boots. Sun comes out, I wear shades. I see a girl like you and a guy like that, I think, "Now, how's a working man with hillbilly hair and a beer belly land Miss State Penitentiary 2010? And then I get the record. I see the girl has got 18 months' probation and the guy with his head half cut off was the shlub who signed the forms. Now it starts to make sense. I mean, stop me if I get it wrong, if this wasn't some kind of tit-for-tat handjob-gets-you-work-release program. If it was, whatever. Love story of the century. No? That's what I thought. See? Simple things. Cause and effect, crime and punishment. Mash a potato, you know what you get? Mashed potatoes. :'''Nikki Swango''': I want a lawyer. :'''Moe Dammick''': Yeah? Well, that's a mistake. Think it through. The evidence, shared domicile, you, a known felon, spinning a web of lies. History of domestic violence with a beer-drinking loser. You don't have to be a mathematician to add two plus two. No. Your best bet? Tearjerker. What a monster he was. How he beat you every night where it wouldn't show. :''[Nikki says nothing]'' :'''Moe Dammick''': ''[sighs]'' Okay. We're done. I'll leave the picture, in case you're the type of girl who likes to take pride in her work. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Moe Dammick''': Either you're on vacation til the handover - take some time to grieve, be with your family, Merry Christmas, all that - or start looking for another job. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Happy holidays, sir. :'''Moe Dammick''': That's what I thought. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emmit Stussy''': Sy said your husband died. :'''Sy Feltz''': That's not- we don't need to... :'''Ruby Goldfarb''': It's fine. My Walt. It'll be a year in May since he passed. Did you lose someone? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Stella. 25 years. She left last week. Sex tape. Not a real one, of course - I mean, it was a real sex tape, but not my, y'know... forgery. To the end of securing a payout. Which, y'know, that's the price of it, I guess, being rich. :'''Ruby Goldfarb''': I don't know... :'''Emmit Stussy''': Enemies, I'm sayin'. Not at first. First come the well-wishers with their fake smiles. Then, the richer you get, here come the deadbeats with their hands out. :'''Sy Feltz''': You know, it's getting pretty late... :'''Emmit Stussy''': The jackals laughing in the dark, trying to pick the meat off your bones. :'''Sy Feltz''': Check, please! :'''Ruby Goldfarb''': Money is a blessing and a curse. :'''Emmit Stussy''': No, don't blame money! It's people. Sore losers. Making up stories about how we're villains. The dreamers, the hard workers. In the office before dawn. Toiling, saving... Ebenezer Scrooge and the like. Have you heard of the vile maxim? :'''Ruby Goldfarb''': No... :'''Emmit Stussy''': "[[Adam Smith#Book III|All for ourselves and nothing for other people is the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.]]" You think a rich man wrote that? ===''Who Rules the Land of Denial?''

I call him Ray. I know, that's not really a cat's name, but when I looked at him, that's the name that stuck. But this is how it is, I think. <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.M. Varga''': Emmit.

Varga''': I want you to picture an island, a tropical island. Somewhere warm. The South Pacific, perhaps. Can you see it? Now, I want you to imagine that on this island, one day in September 1945, a load of paper fell from the sky. Leaflets dropped in their hundreds by the Allied forces to tell the Japanese soldiers stationed there that the war was over. The Emperor has surrendered. But down below, one man refused to believe. Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda. A man of honor, values. And as the rest of the world went about its business -1946, '47, '50, '64, '71 - as peace was made and a Cold War fought, Hiroo Onoda battled on. A tireless soldier of the Emperor's Imperial Army, and the last man to die for an ideal. :'''Emmit Stussy''': ''[tearfully, about Ray]'' He was just a boy. He used to follow me around after school - "Emmit, play with me. Emmit, watch this." :'''V.M. Varga''': Is the Bible a children's book? What we're doing here, the sober affairs of men. These are feats of great strength and cunning and fortitude. Not child's play, not "the best you can do". Nobody remembers the second man to climb Mt. Everest. That's it. Sleep now. Everything will be clearer in the morning. ===''Aporia'' [3.09]=== :'''Emmit Stussy''': He played tennis. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Ray? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Our dad. At his club, rain or shine, every Saturday. He had that thing all dads have after 30 years of wearing socks, where the hair gets worn away, so he's basically bald from the shins down. ''[chuckles]'' I was on the drive, you know, throwing a ball against the house, a tennis ball. Wasn't supposed to, but he was gone, so... And Ray's someplace, kitchen probably, he was always eating, that kid. Real chubby. And then, Dad's home. He had this old Mercedes diesel, you could hear it on the come. So I hide the ball and he pulls in. Not out of the car ten seconds, when down he goes, flat on his face. One minute, he's waving hello, the next, just drops like - like the lights go out. ''[pause]'' I killed him. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Your dad? :'''Emmit Stussy''': Ray. First I tricked him, then I killed him. Like no days had passed. Like one thing goes and then another. Like you whack a tennis ball back and forth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.M. Varga''': You can't win this game, you do realize that? :'''Nikki Swango''': I thought you didn't play games. :'''V.M. Varga''': I'm offering you a fortune, you're asking for a piggy bank. Porquoi? :'''Nikki Swango''': Because I wanna hurt you, not be your pet. I wanna look you in the face and rip out something you love. :'''V.M. Varga''': I didn't kill him. You do know that? It was Emmit. :'''Nikki Swango''': Wasn't Emmit who came for me in the precinct. Wasn't Emmit who flipped that bus. :'''V.M. Varga''': You know, I didn't have any feeling about you before, but now I'm starting to really dislike you. :'''Nikki Swango''': Good. ''[gets up to leave]'' I'll give you till tomorrow to get my money. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gloria Burgle''': Got married straight out of high school to a guy I knew since fifth grade summer camp. Summer wedding. Guests were mostly mosquitoes. We had a baby boy, then a toddler, now a teen. Last year, my husband phones me at work, tells me he's got a boyfriend named Dale. Says they're moving in together. Says he's sorry. He loves me, but not like that. "What else is there?" I say. You think the world is something, then it turns out to be something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.M. Varga''': The problem is not that there is evil in the world. The problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care? ===''Somebody to Love'' [3.10]=== :'''V.M. Varga''': Well, you should be happy, Mr. Stussy. Your first action item is complete: the accumulation of wealth. :'''Emmit Stussy''': I'm just so tired. :'''V.M. Varga''': Perfectly natural. You see it all the time in the wild - the smaller animal going limp in the jaws of the larger. Genetic instinct. At some level, food knows it's food. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nikki Swango''': Are you as low as you can go? :'''Emmit Stussy''': What? :'''Nikki Swango''': I asked you if you still feel you've got room to fall, or whether this is bottom. :'''Emmit Stussy''': Honestly? If you'd asked me yesterday, I'd have said I couldn't go lower - sitting in jail, staring at a life behind bars or the electric chair. But now, here we are today, lower still. :'''Nikki Swango''': Oh, I've been watching. This Varga fella plucked you like a chicken. But he's gone now, so I'm gonna finish the job. <hr width="50%"/> :'''V.M. Varga''': Oh, that this was my salvation, a weary traveler, I. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Agent Burgle, Department of Homeland Security. :'''V.M. Varga''': Ah, the nation state defending its borders, and me, a simple salesman. :'''Gloria Burgle''': What do you sell, Mr... :'''V.M. Varga''': Rand. Daniel. I sell accounting software. :'''Gloria Burgle''': In Brussels. Is that where you live? :'''V.M. Varga''': Good lord, no. I'm a citizen of the air, madam. Moving, always moving. :'''Gloria Burgle''': You don't remember me, do you? :'''V.M. Varga''': Surmise. Because I haven't greeted you, I don't remember you. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Do you? :'''V.M. Varga''': We may have met once, in my younger days. [Gloria takes out the security camera picture of Varga in the storage facility's elevator] Are you familiar with the Russian saying "The past is unpredictable?" :'''Gloria Burgle''': I'm pretty sure you made that up. :'''V.M. Varga''': Possibly. But which of us can say with certainty what has occurred, actually occurred, and what is simply rumor, misinformation, opinion? :'''Gloria Burgle''': A photograph is considered proof in a court of law. :'''V.M. Varga''': Photographs can be doctored. One's eyes can be deceived. We see what we believe, not the other way around. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Six people dead, including a state trooper. Two hundred million dollars unaccounted for. Those are facts. And you at the heart of the morass. What else am I supposed to see? :'''V.M. Varga''': A man wakes up one morning and decides to kill four men over a certain age, all with the same last name. :'''Gloria Burgle''': [laughs] That didn't happen. :'''V.M. Varga''': And yet, if evidence is collected, if confessions are made, if a verdict of guilty is entered in a court of law, then its happening becomes as the rocks and rivers, and to argue it didn't happen is to argue with reality itself. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Did you know Emmit Stussy was murdered? Three months ago. Killed in his own home. :'''V.M. Varga''': Pitchfork. Peasants. :'''Gloria Burgle''': What? :'''V.M. Varga''': I said, it is a dangerous world for men of standing. Human beings, you see, have no inherent value other than the money they earn. Cats have value, for example, because they provide pleasure to the humans, but a deadbeat on welfare? Well, they have negative value. So ''ipso facto'', Emmit's death is more tragic than the death of a wasteling. :'''Gloria Burgle''': [pause] That's...you can't believe that. :'''V.M. Varga''': Oh, it's true. It's true, whether I believe it or not. :'''Gloria Burgle''': Did you kill him? :'''V.M. Varga''': Emmit? From Brussels? :'''Gloria Burgle''': They got phones in Belgium, yeah? Email? Mr. Varga. :'''V.M. Varga''': You're asking me if there are phones in Belgium? :'''Gloria Burgle''': Let me tell you what's gonna happen next. Three agents from Homeland Security are gonna put handcuffs on you and take you to Rikers. And then we're gonna charge you with felony money laundering and six counts of conspiracy to commit murder. And then I'm gonna go home to my son. It's his birthday tomorrow, I promised I'd take him to the state fair. You ever guess a pig's weight? Or eat a deep fried Snickers bar? There's no better way to spend a Saturday in this, our great American experiment. So, while you're eating mashed potatoes from a box in a dark room, think of me, among the amber waves of grain. :'''V.M. Varga''': [pause] No. That's not what's going to happen next. What's going to happen next is this. In five minutes, that door is going to open, and a man you can't argue with will tell me I'm free to go. And I will stand from this chair and disappear into the world, so help me God. :'''Gloria Burgle''': [pause, grins] Rikers, and Snickers bars. :'''V.M. Varga''': [tuts] Agent Burgle. ''Gloria''. Trust me. The future is certain. And when it comes, you will know, without question, your place in the world. Until then, we've said all there is to say. Any further debate would be wasting our breath. And if there's one thing I can't abide, it's waste. Goodbye. == Season 4 == === ''Welcome to the Alternate Economy'' [4.01] === :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': Frederick Douglass once intoned, "I stand before you as a thief and a robber. I stole this head, these limbs, this body from my master and I ran off with them." My point being, the moment our feet touched American soil, we were already criminals. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': Webster's defines "assimilation" as "the process of becoming similar to something". But imbibing these words, dear reader, we are forced to ask, similar to what? If America is a nation of immigrants, then how does one become American? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Oh, oh, apologies. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': What? :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Oh, I was simply excusing myself. I’m not normally this out of sorts. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': It’s a funeral. People cry at funerals. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Ah, amen. Those are wise words for a person of your complexion. But then I’ve noticed your people are often more in touch with your spiritual side and emotional side. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': My people? :''[Oraetta snorts cocaine]'' :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': The Negro. It’s a Baptist fervor, I’d wager, what causes them to hoot and tumble to the floor, aflush with the Holy Spirit. :'''Thurman Smutny''': Miss Mayflower, I see you’ve met my daughter, Ethelrida. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Your daughter? :'''Thurman Smutny''': The one and only. Ethelrida, this is Miss Mayflower. She’s a nurse at St. Bartholomew. :''[A confused Oraetta looks at the white Thurman and dark-skinned Oraetta]'' :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Oh yeah. Huh! Yes, now I see it. This child is certainly the product of miscegentation. :'''Thurman Smutny''': Uh, if by that you mean she’s the spitting image of her father, then I take that as a compliment. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Your mother must be quite dark-skinned. As I’ve noticed in my study of the human animal, that in the combination of races, it is de rigueur for the more extreme coloration to prevail. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': This is my associate, Doctor Senator. :'''Clayton Winckle''': You're a doctor? :'''Doctor Senator''': No, sir. Name's Doctor. Doctor Senator. It was my mother's idea. :'''Clayton Winckle''': And what was her name? :'''Doctor Senator''': Ma'am. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Josto Fadda''': You got a funny way of talking. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Yep. I'm from Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes. :'''Josto Fadda''': No, I mean you use big words. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Well, I've found in my 36 years on God's green Earth that it's absolutely critical to be precise in your use of language so as to avoid instances of misreckoning. === ''The Land of Taking and Killing'' [4.02] === :'''Zelmare Roulette''': Looks like you done well for yourself these years I've been away. :'''Dibrell Smutny''': You ain't getting no handout. :'''Zelmare Roulette''': Listen at you, acting like the big sister. Wasn't asking for money. Swanee and I got prospects. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': What kind of prospects? :'''Swanee Capps''': Bank robbing. ''[Swanee makes a finger gun gesture]'' Pa-choo, pa-choo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': You seeing to his education? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': I'm teaching him how the world works. :'''Loy Cannon''': And how's that? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': It's dog eat dog. :'''Loy Cannon''': That's how dogs work. Men are more complicated. :'''Rabbi Milligan''': Not in my experience. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Milvin Gillis''': Am I getting fucked here? :'''Josto Fadda''': Slow your roll. :'''Milvin Gillis''': 'Cause the only reason I'm letting my daughter marry some guinea greaser is that I got ambitions: political, financial... :'''Josto Fadda''': And here I am, hopelessly in love. :'''Milvin Gillis''': Go fuck a state park! You ain't getting a piece of the Gillis legacy until I got assurances you can deliver votes. Mayors don't elect themselves and elections aren't free. :'''Josto Fadda''': Dad? Can I call you dad? My pop didn't claw his way out of the plebian dynasty so that his sons could end up in middle management. You want to be mayor? I want my kids to be president. So I'll get you your votes and your, uh, ''bustarella''. But first I'm gonna slow-pump some babies into your daughter one at a time and twice on Sundays. Now get a drink. And try the calzone! They're a riot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zelmare Roulette''': ''[regarding Oraetta]'' That is one weird white lady. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doctor Senator''': We haven't met. I'm Doctor Senator. ''[Doctor reaches his hand out but Gaetano refuses to shake it]'' You got to give respect to get respect. :'''Gaetano Fadda''': Is that why you Americans are so soft? All this giving and getting? ''[in Italian]'' It's all shit. ''[in English]'' In the land of taking and killing, Gaetano is king. === ''Raddoppiarlo'' [4.03] === :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': Captain Hanhuck, I can safely say you blasphemy more than any man I've ever met. And I've been to Cleveland. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doctor Senator''': I was in the legal corps. Army. Pushing papers. After the ceasefire, they send me to Nuremberg for the trials. Last Negro in Germany, I'd imagine. You ever heard of "Double V"? It's what they sold us. Mm-hmm. Fight for our country and we get two victories: one for America and one for we sons of servitude. No more lynchings. No more blackjacks at the polls. So they send me to Nuremberg and this colonel tells me he's got a big job for me. Says, "You're gonna interview Hermann Goring, the Reichsmarschall himself." Says, "Days, weeks, however it long it takes to get him to talk." Says, "I need you, Doctor Senator, Esquire, to use your training, your skills to build the People's case." Well now, what is that if not the double victory, hm? So I sit with the man for six weeks, eight hours a day, six days a week and we get into it. The first two weeks, he just stares at me, murder in his eyes. But I use my wiles. You know, appeal to his ego, get him talking. Ah, soon he won't shut up. Bragging about every little thing, and I type it down and write it up for the colonel word for word. I spend two weeks crafting my conclusion, my analysis of international law. Then, one Sunday morning, after services, I knock on the colonel's door and I give him my report. You know what he does? Throws it in the trash. Yeah. 400 pages with footnotes. Throws it it in the trash and says, "I just wanted to make that old Nazi squirm having to answer to a Negro." So you say respect the deal? Excuse me if I say our word is exactly as good as yours. The slaughterhouses, they belong to us. Deal or no deal. You can call it the cost of transition. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Satchel Cannon''': Are you Jewish? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': No. :'''Satchel Cannon''': Then how come they call you Rabbi? Isn't a Rabbi a Jewish priest? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': You ever play poker? ''[Satchel shakes his head]'' But you know there's a game called poker, played with cards. Well, there's this saying in poker: "You play the hand you're dealt." You and me, we're proof of that. You see, when yours truly was a boy, he had the same thing happen to him, what happened to you. :'''Satchel Cannon''': You got traded? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': What? :'''Satchel Cannon''': From baseball. That's what my daddy said. I got traded to another team. :'''Rabbi Milligan''': Exactly. I got traded twice. Except, well, for you, you get to go back to your original team one day. :'''Satchel Cannon''': Is this your original team? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': No. My team was shite. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': What you need, son? :'''Dwayne''': Just rub some coins together, that's all. Just a cup of joe. :'''Loy Cannon''': Cup of joe? That's why your eyes so runny? Too much Sanka? Let me see what I got for you. ''[Loy pulls out a roll of cash which Dwayne stares at in awe; Loy turns to Lemuel]'' You see that? What happened to his face when I pull out my roll? What do we call that, Doctor? :'''Doctor Senator''': We call that the blight. :'''Loy Cannon''': The blight. See, five seconds ago this young hustler was fingering the holes in his pocket, living the now. But then he sees this and he starts to dream. "With that much cash, I can make plans! Turn my shit around!" Right? So now he's planning months into the future, sees himself all cleaned up, fine girl on his arm. Then what do you know? He ain't even colored no more. He's J.P. fucking Morgan. An American success story. But watch this. :''[Loy puts the money back into his pocket]'' :'''Dwayne''': ''[lunging for the money]'' Hey, hey, hey! :''[Loy's entourage holds Dwayne back]'' :'''Loy Cannon''': You see that? I just stole from that man. Forget it weren't his money. Just seeing that much scratch, he made a future for himself. And I took that from him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Omie Sparkman''': Girl, you got a panty on your head. === ''The Pretend War'' [4.04] === :'''Ebal Violante''': When I first come to America, I know nothing. How to dress, what to eat. I sleep in a closet with a stuck hanger in my jacket so I don't fall down. On the street, I hear this phrase. You know this phrase: American values. And I think what does it mean? Financial values, I understand. Money, what a thing is worth. Human values, this also makes sense. The things we love. Family, ''i bambini''. But this American values, land of the free, home of the brave. This I don't know. And then I learn the history of this country. Your slavery, the smallpox in the blankets, how you stole the land from the natives. And I realize to be an American is to pretend. ''Capisce''? You pretend to be one thing when really you are something else. And I can do that. Lie. Hide. But what I will not do is pretend we are at peace when really we are at war. Are we at war? :'''Doctor Senator''': Not yet, but we're trying real hard. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': How many? :'''Doctor Senator''': 300 semiautomatic. Out of New York. So either the Faddas are going into the gun business now or they're going to war with us. :'''Loy Cannon''': Sell 200 to Mort Kellerman. :'''Doctor Senator''': Out of Fargo? :'''Loy Cannon''': Tell him he can have them at cost, but he owes us devotion. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Goodness. Your mind's a clutter of grievances. Here I am talking about waterfalls and you're making a list of nemeses. :'''Josto Fadda''': Friends or enemies. That's the world, hm? :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Oraetta Mayflower's enemy to no man. :'''Josto Fadda''': You're a dame. Where I come from, we sleep with one eye open and a razor in our teeth. You got any more of that fluffy whiz bang? Get my head on straight? :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': And here I thought you liked me for my vocabulary. :'''Josto Fadda''': Well, it's not your vocabulary that just took a ride in my lap. :''[Josto smacks Oraetta on her behind]'' :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Hey! Rude! We fly elevated in this house, mister! Proper ladies and gentlemen, which is a lesson you should take to heart in your other lives. And you sleep with a mouthful of razors, it's your own throat that gets cut, believe you me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': What's the ordeal upstairs? Booze? Gambling? If a man's pud need a tug, would this be the place for said tugging? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': That's a lot of greenbacks, Thurman. :'''Thurman Smutny''': Yes, sir, it is. :'''Loy Cannon''': Where'd you get it? :'''Thurman Smutny''': Well, sir, I'd rather not say. ''[Loy stares at him]'' It was, uh, the loss of a loved one, if you must know. My dear Uncle Boolie. He passed last week, left me this money, and since you were nice enough to give us that loan, I figured I should bring it you straight away. :'''Loy Cannon''': So he left you this bag of cash. Your uncle...what was it? :'''Thurman Smutny''': Boolie. No, sir. His bequeathment came in check form. Uh, I just figured cash should be easier for you. :'''Loy Cannon''': Thurman, Thurman. Always thinking. I got to tell you, I can't remember the last time a white man tried to make my life easier. :'''Thurman Smutny''': Well, here's me, then. :'''Loy Cannon''': Here's you. ''[Loy takes a long, suspicious stare at Thurman, making Thurman nervous]'' Well, okay! Thanks for stopping by. :'''Thurman Smutny''': Okay then. ''[Thurman stands up]'' That's...hoo! I got to say, I really thought you were gonna shoot me there, money or no. :'''Loy Cannon''': I thought about it. :'''Thurman Smutny''': ''[chuckling nervously]'' I'm gonna go now. :'''Loy Cannon''': Good choice. :''[Thurman heads to the door, then turns around]'' :'''Thurman Smutny''': You have a lovely home. Uh... :'''Loy Cannon''': Leave now. === ''The Birthplace of Civilization'' [4.05] === :'''Thurman Smutny''': Listen, this Miss Mayflower. She's....she's not really...I mean, I'm sure she's real nice, but she's not someone you should be hanging around, huh? We got a real precarious situation here, living outside the law and all, so... Not to mention, I think she might've poisoned that pie she baked us. Anyway, steer clear. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': Aunt Zelmare, what would you do if you saw something wrong? Something you could fix? :'''Zelmare Routlette''': Nothing. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': What do you mean? :'''Zelmare Routlette''': I mean nothing. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': Because you're a criminal? :'''Zelmare Routlette''': I ain't a criminal. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': You're innocent, you're saying? :'''Zelmare Routlette''': Girl, I ain't been innocent since Uncle Charlie cornered me in the shed when I was nine. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': Then I don't understand. :'''Swanee Capps''': She's saying we ain't criminals. We're outlaws. :'''Zelmare Routlette''': See, criminals play the game. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': What game? :'''Swanee Capps''': Life. The earth. :'''Zelmare Routlette''': Society, right? They got their rules. Banking and family. An honest dollar for an honest day's work. Politics and voting. And the criminal, he on the other side of that, but still he play the game. And if he plays it long enough, he even starts to talk about going legit. :'''Swanee Capps''': The outlaw, on the other hand... :'''Zelmare Routlette''': The outlaw, on the other hand, well, we reject the game. Society. Ain't nothing organized about our crime 'cause our crime is freedom. :'''Swanee Capps''': No rules. :'''Zelmare Routlette''': And nothing's ever broke and there ain't nothing to fix. :'''Swanee Capps''': All we want is to live while we're alive and die with a gun in our hands. :'''Zelmare Routlette''': You a bit of an outlaw. :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': Me? :'''Zelmare Routlette''': Yeah. Your mama sees it, too. In the eyes. That's why she say, "Keep away." :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': I'm not an outlaw. :'''Swanee Capps''': Then which are you - a convict or a square? :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': I'm not either one of those things. :'''Zelmare Routlette''': What are you then? :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': I'm Ethelrida Pearl Smutny. One of a kind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': I just came home to change my shirt. :'''Narcissa Rivers''': Mmhmm. :'''Loy Cannon''': What? ''[to Buel]'' What's wrong with her? Where you off to? :'''Buel Cannon''': They arrested your son. :'''Loy Cannon''': I know. I'm handling it. :'''Buel Cannon''': The same way you're handling your other son, lives in an attic with an Irishman? :'''Loy Cannon''': Come on now, we talked about that. :'''Buel Cannon''': We did, and there he is, eating someone else's food still. :'''Narcissa Rivers''': Mmhmm. :'''Loy Cannon''': Doc's gonna bail the boy out this morning. He got his bell rung pretty good, but he's alright. :'''Buel Cannon''': I'll get him. :'''Loy Cannon''': He's not the only boy I got in there. They all need bailing out. Now, Doc's gonna sort it. :'''Buel Cannon''': You best get out of my way. :'''Narcissa Rivers''': Mmhmm. :'''Loy Cannon''': ''[to Narcissa]'' You got something to say to me? :'''Buel Cannon''': Don't take this out on mama. :'''Loy Cannon''': You ain't going down there. :'''Buel Cannon''': Loy Cannon, you know better than to come between a mother and her child. :'''Loy Cannon''': I'm handling it. :'''Buel Cannon''': Oh, you handling it. Well, send a letter to the Pope! You hear that, mama? Daddy's handling it! :'''Narcissa Rivers''': Mmhmm. :'''Buel Cannon''': I got two baby girls upstairs sleeping. You're gonna handle them, too? Maybe into the hospital or the cemetery? Pretty soon, all we're gonna have around here is a house full of clothes. :'''Loy Cannon''': I said I'm....You like that coat you're wearing? The food you're eating? ''[to Narcissa]'' How about you, your majesty? You like the view from your room? Your fancy blankets? Where do you think all that comes from? ''[to Buel]'' The razor's edge! What, we're supposed to get rich and stay rich? How? By saying our prayers? The boy went to the club and the bulls lit him up. You act like that can't happen just walking down the street. Acting like the I'm the villain when all I do is fight for this family! You don't like how it's going? You scared to take the risk? Too bad. We're on the ride now, and we can't get off until the roller coaster stops! Now take off your damn coat and get me some fucking coffee! ''[Buel takes off her coat and slowly walks away. Loy turns to Narcissa]'' Can I get a "mmhmm?" :'''Narcissa Rivers''': Hmph. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Josto Fadda''': You know why America loves a crime story? Because America ''is'' a crime story. But here's the rub. When we hear a crime story, who do we root for? Not the poor sap that got taken, the victim. No. We root for the taker. The guy with the gat. ''[Josto imitates shooting a machine gun at the Cannon enforcers]'' See, this country loves a man who takes what he wants. Unless...unless that man looks like you. ''Capisce''? See, Johnny Society looks at me, they see a fella who's using crime to get ahead. But you? All they see ''is'' crime. And that's why you're gonna lose. 'Cause I can take all the money and pussy I want and still run for president. But you? It's always gonna be the rope. Tell him it's time to surrender. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doctor Senator''': ''[final words]'' Like I tried to tell you, I don't know how they do it in your country, but here in America, respect is earned. Ebal, he earned my respect. But you? You... You're just boys making a mess that one day I'm gonna have to clean up. ''[Doctor stands and heads for the exit, paying the waitress]'' Thanks for the coffee, Nadine. === ''Camp Elegance'' [4.06] === :'''Loy Cannon''': I'm losing this war, Odis. People are being taken from me. People I trust. Things I've earned. You see, I'm not just fighting a few Italians. I'm fighting 400 years of history. I'm fighting a mindset. ''[Loy notices a large set of Hummel figurines]'' You like those dolls, huh? You collect 'em? :'''Odis Weff''': I, uh... :'''Loy Cannon''': How do you think they feel, being owned? Imagine if these dolls rose up and became citizens of this apartment. Imagine if they asked for equal rights? You might say, "Man, fuck these dolls. I'm gonna crush these dolls, thinking they all human, thinking they equal." 'Cause that's your mindset. And look, maybe you feel like these Italians own you, but you got no idea what it feels like to be actual owned, to be property. Until now. 'Cause I own you. You're gonna help me win this war or I'm gonna put you in the ground, you hear me? :'''Odis Weff''': Yeah, yes, I hear you. :'''Loy Cannon''': Good. We'll be in touch. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': Now, you can say your whole life is just a series of mistakes. No big deal. But Doctor Senator? Now that's the one that got you killed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Dr. Harvard, I can assure you Oraetta Mayflower is a Christian citizen of the highest character. I'm unsure even of the spelling of the word "crime". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Antoon Dumini''': The Americans, when they capture me, I was cooking my belt. :'''Satchel Cannon''': Your belt? :'''Antoon Dumini''': I already eat my shoes. Monte Cassino. They send me here, to Kansas. Did you know they bring war prisoners here? I think I was dead. A corpse, they shipped. A skeleton. It was the food, the smell, that bring me back. Fields of corn, bread for every meal. Land of plenty. That's in the Constitution. Every day the sun come out. That big, yellow American sun. It make me grow again, like a winter weed. And then, I am alive again. I took the blood oath, carve my name on the stone there. "Antoon Dumini, American." This I would become. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rabbi Milligan''': You hurt? :'''Satchel Cannon''': No. I-Is he dead? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': Yes, but don't look away. This is what men do. Snap out of it. We have to go. It's war now, for real. You're not safe here. :'''Satchel Cannon''': Home? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': You're not safe there, either. You trust me? ''[Satchel nods]'' I never got to choose. A child soldier, that's what they made me. But that's not gonna happen to you. Understand? :'''Satchel Cannon''': I think so. :'''Rabbi Milligan''': So we're gonna find someplace quiet, wait 'til the dust settles, and if you want to go home - if that's your choice - I'll take you home. Understand? :'''Satchel Cannon''': I'm scared. :'''Rabbi Milligan''': Me too. === ''Lay Away'' [4.07] === :'''Odis Weff''': You listen to me, slick. If I knew where your Mormon God was, I'd drive through the night and I'd stab him in the fucking eyes! We're done. :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': If that's the way you want to go. But careful how many sides you play, palomino. Even a gold coin's only got two faces. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Buel Cannon''': Can I help you? :'''Constant Calamita''': Good afternoon. There's a guard usually on the porch. But not today. How many kids in the house? :'''Buel Cannon''': Get out of here. :'''Constant Calamita''': Answer the question. :'''Buel Cannon''': How about I got a question for you? :'''Constant Calamita''': For me? :'''Buel Cannon''': Yeah. You ever go to the zoo? :'''Constant Calamita''': ''[chuckles]'' Sometime. :'''Buel Cannon''': Hmm. You see the mama lion and her cubs? You think she's in that cage for ''her'' protection? ''[Buel pulls out a shotgun]'' To be fair, it's what we call a rhetorical question. Now get the fuck out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ebal Violante''': First, we recognize things have gotten out of hand. Our two families. We recognize this and, uh, we apologize. :'''Loy Cannon''': You apologize? :'''Ebal Violante''': Doctor Senator- :'''Loy Cannon''': Don't...say his name. :'''Ebal Violante''': He was a friend of mine. His death should not have happened, but Gaetano Fadda is the son of Donatello Fadda, chosen by New York. His death is not allowed. :'''Loy Cannon''': Not allowed? :'''Ebal Violante''': I'm simply telling you how it is. There are people you can kill, people you can't. :'''Josto Fadda''': Eh, well... ''[Ebal looks at Josto]'' No, I'm just saying he's more animal than people. :'''Ebal Violante''': Hey... ''[in Italian]'' He's your bother. :'''Josto Fadda''': Cain was Abel's brother. ''[in Italian]'' How'd that turn out? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': Elevate, don't denigrate. That's what I tell 'em. My kids. What do you think the Italians tell their kids? :'''Odis Weff''': I-I don't know :'''Loy Cannon''': Yeah, yeah, but you see it, though, right? What they're doing? Call a man an animal, keep him in the dirt. But what if he don't grunt? What if he don't honk? What if he walks tall and stays a man? C'mon, you know what that is. You boys do it all the time. :'''Odis Weff''': No, not me. :'''Loy Cannon''': You get in the dirt yourself and you show him how to be an animal! You show him how to hate! You show him how to be cruel! You kill his friends! You murder his child. :'''Odis Weff''': Boss...I didn't know. :'''Loy Cannon''': They can't rise to our level, so they got to drag us down to theirs. But it's a trap. It's a trap, 'cause if I get in the dirt like them, that means they were right the whole time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': You know what I think? Every country has its own type of criminal. In America, we got the confidence man. Snake oil salesman, grifter. He don't rob you as much as trick you into robbing yourself. See, 'cause in America, people want to believe. They got that dream. And a dreamer, you can fleece. === ''The Nadir'' [4.08] === :'''Loy Cannon''': Tell me. :'''Opal Rackley''': It didn't work. They're a team now, the brothers. So what do we do? :'''Loy Cannon''': Fargo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': I told those ladies no harm would come to them. That makes me accountable. :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': Should I tell you what I've learned about the criminal mindset? By definition, the criminal rejects accountability, as their identity is based on getting away with things. Similarly, the criminal - you - rejects morality and ethics, for if there is a larger right, then the criminal himself is always wrong. And you don't strike me as the type of man thinks himself wrong. :'''Loy Cannon''': Rarely. :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': So there goes morality out the window, but in that vacuum, what should rush but a code. A system of rules, mostly having to do with loyalty. And this way, the criminal detaches himself from the civilian world. :'''Loy Cannon''': And yet, here I am. Family man, community leader, deacon in the church. :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': Oh, the criminal is capable of being all those things. But it's a ruse. For though you claim to share the values of your wife or preacher, the Lord knows it's a disguise. Ask me how I know for certain. :'''Loy Cannon''': How do you know for certain? :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': Would a family man trade his youngest son to his enemy in exchange for power and monetary gain? :'''Loy Cannon''': You need to leave. :''[Opal reaches for a gun but Deafy pulls out his gun first]'' :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': And so we circle back, inevitably, to your original statement. To wit, I'm accountable for those ladies, murderers both, thieves and cheats. But now, since we both know the criminal is capable of love and loyalty only when it suits his own self-interest, I've come to the make the following point: It don't. Not no more. In summation, boy, if you could sacrifice your youngest, like Isaac in the Holy Book, well, then giving up two strangers to keep the might of the federal government off your back, well, now, that should be as facile as breathing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': I like you. :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': We Mormons are very friendly people. :'''Loy Cannon''': No. Pretty unfriendly, really. But it's the way you're unfriendly, like you're doing me a favor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Odis Weff''': This is...this isn't a choice. I got a condition. When I was a kid, the teachers said "oversensitive." The army shrink said I-I worry too much, which...How can you worry too much when you're at war? All those things you called me - twitchy, touched - I been hearing that my whole life. All I know is I-I feel better when I'm in charge, when I got the power. That's why I joined the force. You know, because cops have power. So, now I'm on the street, I'm the boss. Except, turns out, being a cop's real risky. Risky makes me nervous. So I'm...I make a deal with the street. I take a few bucks, I-I look the other way. Less risk, but also less power. So here comes that feeling again. Like I'm...I'm drowning o-on dry land. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dick "Deafy" Wickware''': Cheer up, palomino. In times like these, my mind goes back to the wisest words I ever heard. And forgive me for the blueness of the final stanza, but here it is: "Behold the amazing pelican, whose beak can hold more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak enough food for a week. I'll be damned if I know how the hell he can." === ''East/West'' [4.09] === :"Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim." - Bertrand Russell <hr width="50%"/> :'''Beachwood Indiana''': I got a wife. :''[Rabbi turns his gun on Haskell]'' :'''Haskell Indiana''': I...I ain't married yet. Who's gonna feed the dogs? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Rabbi and Satchel spot an incomplete billboard that reads "The Future Is"]'' :'''Rabbi Milligan''': The future is what? :'''Worker''': How's that? :'''Rabbi Milligan''': What's it gonna say? :'''Worker''': Wait 'til it's finished, then you'll see. :'''Rabbi Milligan''': Well...finish the damn thing already! :'''Worker''': Moment I finish it, I'm out of a job. Plus, why do you care? It's just a sign. :'''Rabbi Milligan''': It's the principle. Making people live with uncertainty, it ain't right! :'''Worker''': Send a letter to your congressman, you're so irate. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hunk Swindell''': Hey, funny you mention that. I was talking to a fella on the train, must've been, um, winter last, works in publishing. Did you know that in the original Goldilocks, it was witches, not bears? In any case, he tells me, think about this poor girl, no home of her own, just wandering the woods. This fella said that to his mind, Goldilocks is the classic example of an outsider in search of himself. If you think about it, the story's got no ending. I mean, the bears, they get justice chasing an intruder out of their home, but for the girl? Well, she's back out in the cold. No family, no home. Doesn't fit in anywhere. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Rabbi discovers the complete billboard reads "The Future Is Now"]'' :'''Rabbi Milligan''': Hey! Hey! What the heck does that even mean? :'''Worker''': Got me. Could be a statement as to the underlying unreliability of time. Or a testimony along the lines of "seize the day". They don't pay me to write 'em, just slap 'em up. Which I did. And now it's done. And I find myself once more at a crossroads, unemployed. So I suppose for me the future I once feared has arrived as predicted by this very billboard. === ''Happy'' [4.10] === :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': What does it feel like to be so sure you're right and know that nobody cares? Hmm? I'll see you in your dreams. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Milvin Gillis''': I'm a U.S. alderman! You can't punch a U.S. alderman! :'''Josto Fadda''': Well, apparently, you can. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': It was blizzarding when Satchel was born. Middle of the night. Why do babies always come in the middle of the night? :'''Opal Rackley''': It's the moon, my mama said. Babies come like the tide. :'''Loy Cannon''': Buel birthed him in a tub with her mama. I was downstairs with the girls. I swear I couldn't hear a sound. My missus, passing a twelve inch head through a six inch hole. On my best day, I'm half as tough as that. And this ain't my best day. No, siree. That's behind me, I think. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Redneck''': Hey, boy, what you doing out here all by your lonesome? You hear me, boy? What, you got shit in your ears? :'''Satchel Cannon''': No. :'''Redneck''': No what? ''[Satchel pulls out a gun]'' Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey... :'''Satchel Cannon''': No "you". No "boy". No "do what you're told". No everything. This is my world. I'm the boss. I tell you what to do. :'''Redneck''': Hey, hey, hey... :'''Satchel Cannon''': Now fuck off. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Excuse me! You take your hands off me! Police! Police! :'''Detective''': Ma'am, we are the police. === ''Storia Americana'' [4.11] === :'''Ebal Violante''': And this is why the family business doesn't work. Because families are crazy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': They made me tell them. :'''Josto Fadda''': I'm not talking to you. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': You don't have to be mean. I've had, and I don't mind saying, as hard a 24 hours as ever been had on God's green earth. :'''Josto Fadda''': What do you think's happening right now? You killed us. :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': I told the truth. :'''Josto Fadda''': Now you tell the truth? ''Now''?! How about when I said help with my dad, why didn't you tell me you were a demented hag? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Josto Fadda''': You don't have to do this. Hasn't there been enough killing? :''[Joe and Oraetta laugh]'' :'''Joe Bulo''': Wait, that a serious question? :'''Josto Fadda''': Listen to me. This is it, what they make us do. We're ''paisan''. Come on. We change our names, we eat each other, we forget. For what? Don't you get it, Joe? This is a ladder, but there's nowhere to go. :'''Joe Bulo''': Nah. Any last requests? :'''Oraetta Mayflower''': Yeah, can you shoot him first so I can watch? :'''Josto Fadda''': What? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loy Cannon''': Are you kidding? This is half our business. You want to take half our business? We had a deal, in the park. WE MADE A DEAL! :'''Ebal Violante''': Please be calm. This is just part of the new plan. Our national plan for the nation. New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Miami, Texas, California. You too are a national outfit, yes? Mm, wait, no. You are one man in one city. What do they say? Big fish, small pond. But we are the sea. Mm, I can tell you are thinking you can just kill me the way you kill the men before. But this is a mistake because when you look at me, you don't see the man behind me and the man behind him and all the men that follow. Forever. Mmhmm? You see them now. The wave that never ends. We understand each other. Cheer up. Look at it this way: we are not taking half, we are leaving half. You work for us now. You do what we say or we kill you and find someone who will. ''[in Italian]'' End of story. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ethelrida Pearl Smutny''': History is a form of memory. But what does it mean to remember? We think naturally of our own past, our lives day by day, and through them we see the events of our times. We are black and white, rich and poor, foreign-born and domestic. And yet, if our pasts are separate, then aren't our histories separate, too? Segregated? Ask yourself, who writes the books? Who chooses what we remember and what gets forgotten? My name is Ethelrida Pearl Smutny.

What are you and God gonna do? You see as far as I'm concerned, this is justice. You know that little exorcism of yours? That was my daughter. :'''Dean''': Who, Meg? :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': The one in the alley? That was my boy. You understand? :'''Dean''': You've got to be kidding me. :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': What? You the only one that can have a family? You destroyed my children. How would you feel if I killed your family? Oh, that's right, I forgot I did. Still, two wrongs don't make a right. :'''Dean''': You son of a bitch. :'''Sam''': I wanna know why. Why'd you do it? :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': You mean why'd I kill [[w:Mary Winchester (Supernatural)|Mommy]] and pretty little [[w:Jessica Moore (Supernatural)|Jess]]? :'''Sam''': Yeah. :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': ''[to Dean]'' You know I never told you this, but Sam was going to ask her to marry him.

Because they got in the way. :'''Sam''': In the way of what? :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': My plans for you, Sammy — you, and all the children like you. :'''Dean''': Listen, you mind just getting this over with, because I really can't stand the monologuing. :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': Funny. But that's all part of your M.O., isn't it? Mask all that nasty pain, mask the truth. :'''Dean''': Oh, yeah? What's that? :'''John (possessed by the yellow-eyed demon)''': You know you fight, and you fight for this family — but the truth is, they don't need you, not like you need them. Sam, he's clearly John's favorite. Even when they fight, it's more concern than he's ever shown you. :'''Dean''': I bet you're real proud of your kids, too, huh?

I just wanted you to be a kid. Just for a little while longer. I always tried to protect you, keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. This was always my responsibility, you know. It's like, I had one job. I had one job. And I screwed it up. I blew it. And for that I'm sorry. I guess that's what I do. I let down the people I love. I let Dad down, and now I guess I'm just supposed to let you down too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy... God... What am I supposed to do?

Stellar work with the Witnesses. That's nice. :'''Castiel''': We tried. There are other battles, other Seals. Some we'll win, some we'll lose. This one we lost. Our numbers are not unlimited.

Or gone. The archangels smote the crap out of him. I'm sorry. :'''Dean''': You're sure? I mean, maybe he just vanished into the light or something. :'''Chuck''': Oh, no. He, like, exploded. Like a water balloon of chunky soup. <hr width=50%> :'''[[w:Sam Winchester|Sam]]''': You guys warned me about Ruby, the demon blood, but I didn't listen. I brought this on. :'''[[w:Bobby Singer|Bobby]]''': You're damn right you didn't listen. You were reckless and selfish and arrogant. :'''Sam''': I'm sorry. :'''Bobby''': Oh, yeah? You're sorry you started Armageddon? This kind of thing don't get forgiven, boy. If by some miracle, we pull this off, I want you to lose my number. You understand me? <hr width=50%> :'''[[w:List of angels in Supernatural#Lucifer|Sarah/Lucifer]]''': I'm not your wife, Nick. I'm an angel. :'''[[w:List of Supernatural characters#Nick|Nick]]''': An angel? :'''Sarah/Lucifer''': My name is Lucifer. :'''Nick''': Sure. Naturally, um... could you do me a favor there, Satan, and remind me to quit drinking before I go to bed? <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': What if we win? I'm serious. Screw the angels and the demons and their crap Apocalypse. Hell, they want to fight a war? They can find their own planet. This one's ours, and I say they get the hell off it. We take 'em all on, we kill the Devil, hell, we even kill Michael if we have to, but we do it our own damn selves. :'''Bobby''': And how are we supposed to do all this, genius? :'''Dean''': ''[shrugs]'' I got no idea. But what I do have is a G.E.D., and a "give 'em hell" attitude and I'll figure it out. :'''Bobby''': You are nine kinds of crazy, boy. :'''Dean''': It's been said. <hr width=50%> :'''Sam''': Dean... is there something you wanna say to me? :'''Dean''': I tried, Sammy. Man, I really tried. But I just can't keep pretending that everything's all right. Because it's not. And it's never going to be. You chose a demon over your own brother... and look what happened. :'''Sam''': I would give anything, anything, to take it all back- :'''Dean''': I know you would. And I know how sorry you are, I do. But, man... you were the one that I depended on the most. And you let me down in ways that I can't even... I'm just- I'm having a hard time forgiving and forgetting here. You know? :'''Sam''': What can I do? :'''Dean''': Honestly? Nothing. I just don't... I don't think that we can ever be what we were. You know? I just don't think I can trust you. ==''[[w:Good God, Y'All!|Good God Y'all]]'' [5.02]== :'''[[w:Bobby Singer|Bobby]]''': You're telling me you lost your mojo just in time to get me stuck in this trap the rest of my life?! :'''[[w:Castiel (Supernatural)|Castiel]]''': I'm sorry. :'''Bobby''': Shove it up your ass. :'''[[w:Dean Winchester|Dean]]''': ''[quietly, to Sam]'' Well, at least he's talking now. :'''Bobby''': I heard that. :'''Castiel''': I don't have much time; we need to talk. :'''Dean''': Okay. :'''Castiel''': Your plan. "Kill Lucifer." :'''Dean''': Yeah, you wanna help? :'''Castiel''': No. It's foolish, it can't be done. :'''Dean''': Oh, well, thanks for the support. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': God? :'''Castiel''': Yes. :'''Dean''': God. :'''Castiel''': Yes. He isn't in Heaven, He has to be somewhere. :'''Dean''': Try New Mexico, I hear He's on a tortilla. :'''Castiel''': No, He's not on any flatbread. :'''Dean''': Listen, chuckles, even if there is a God, He is either dead, and that's the generous theory- :'''Castiel''': He is out there, Dean. :'''Dean''': ...or, He's up and kicking and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us. I mean, look around you, man; the world is in the toilet! We are literally at the end of days here, and He's off somewhere drinking booze out of a coconut. Alright? :'''Castiel''': Enough. This is not a theological issue; it's strategic. With God's help, we can win. :'''Dean''': It's a pipe-dream, Cas. :'''Castiel''': ''[angrily]'' I killed two angels this week. That's my brothers. I'm hunted, I have rebelled, and I did it - all of it - for you. And you failed. You and your brother destroyed the world. And I lost everything, for nothing. So keep your opinions to yourself. <hr width=50%> :'''War''': Honestly, people don't need a reason to kill each other. I mean, you've seen the Irish? They're all Irish. You think I'm a monster, I'm jello shots at a party, I just remove inihibations. :'''[[w:Sam Winchester|Sam]]''': I'm going to kill you myself. :'''War''': Oh, that's adorable, considering you're my poster boy. :'''Sam''': What's that supposed to mean? :'''War''': You can't stop thinking about it, ever since you saw it dripping off the blade of that knife. :'''Sam''': You're wrong. :'''War''': Save your protests for your brother, I can see inside your head. And it is a one-track city in there. Blood, blood, blood. Lust for power, same as always. You want to be strong again, but not just strong, stronger than everybody. Good intentions, quick slide to Hell, buddy boy. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': So, pit stop at Mount Doom? :'''Sam''': Dean- :'''Dean''': Sam, let's not. :'''Sam''': No, listen, this is important. I know you don't trust me. Just, now I realize something. I don't trust me either. From the minute I saw that blood, the only thought in my head... And I tell myself it's for the right reasons, that my intentions are good, and it- it feels true, you know? But I think, underneath... I just miss the feeling. I know how messed up that sounds, which means, I know how messed up I am. The thing is, the problem's not the demon blood, not really, I mean, I- what I did, I can't blame the blood, or Ruby, or... anything. The problem's me. How far I'll go. There's something in me that... scares the hell outta me, Dean. In the last couple of days, I caught another glimpse. :'''Dean''': So what are you saying? :'''Sam''': I'm in no shape to be hunting. I need to step back, 'cause I'm dangerous. Maybe it's best we just go our separate ways. :'''Dean''': Well I think you're right. :'''Sam''': I was expecting a fight. :'''Dean''': The truth is, I spend more time worrying about you, than about doing the job right. I just can't afford that, you know? Not now. :'''Sam''': I'm sorry, Dean. :'''Dean''': I know you are, Sam. Hey, you, uh... wanna take the Impala? :'''Sam''': It's okay.

I miss you too. What are you doing, Sam? :'''Sam''': What do you mean? :'''Jessica''': Running away. Haven't we been down this road before? :'''Sam''': No. It's different now. :'''Jessica''': ''[a statement rather than a question]'' Really. :'''Sam''': Last time, I wanted to be normal. This time... I know I'm a freak. :'''Jessica''': Which is all a big ball of semantics. You know that. :'''Sam''': No. :'''Jessica''': Even at Stanford, you knew. You knew there was something dark inside of you. Deep down, maybe, but you knew. Maybe that's what got me killed. :'''Sam''': No. :'''Jessica''': I was dead from the moment we said hello. :'''Sam''': No. :'''Jessica''': Don't you get it? You can't run from yourself. Why are you running now? :'''Sam''': Why are you here, Jess? :'''Jessica''': Would you believe I'm actually trying to protect you? :'''Sam''': From what? :'''Jessica''': You. Sooner or later, the past is gonna catch up to you like it always does. You know what happens then? People die. Baby, the people closest to you die. :'''Sam''': Well don't worry, because I won't make that mistake again. :'''Jessica''': Same song, different verse. Things are never gonna change with you. Never. <hr width=50%> :'''[[w:Dean Winchester|Dean]]''': Tell me something; you keep saying we're gonna trap this guy, but isn't that kinda like trapping a hurricane with a butterfly net? :'''[[w:Castiel (Supernatural)|Castiel]]''': No, it's harder. :'''Dean''': Do we have any chance of surviving this? :'''Castiel''': You do. :'''Dean''': ...So, odds are, you're a dead man tomorrow? :'''Castiel''': Yes. :'''Dean''': Oh. Well, last night on earth, what, uh... what're your plans? :'''Castiel''': I just thought I'd sit here quietly. :'''Dean''': Dude, c'mon, anything? Hm? Booze, women? ''[Castiel glances at Dean, then looks away quickly]'' You have been with a woman before. Right? Or an angel, at least? ''[Castiel rubs his neck in embarrassment.

All you do is black out the room? :'''Raphael''': And the eastern seaboard. It is a testament to my unending mercy that I don't smite you here and now. :'''Dean''': Or maybe you're full of crap. Maybe you're afraid that God'll bring Cas back to life again, and smite you and your candy-ass skirt. By the way, hi, I'm Dean. ''[Waves]'' :'''Rapheal''': I know who you are, and now thanks to him ''[glances at Castiel]'' I know where you are. :'''Castiel''': You won't kill him. You wouldn't dare. :'''Rapheal''': But I will take him to Micheal. <hr width=50%> :'''Raphael''': But there's no other explanation. He's gone for good. :'''Castiel''': You're lying. :'''Raphael''': Am I? Do you remember the twentieth century? Think the twenty-first is going any better? Do you think God would've let any of that happen if He were alive? :'''Dean''': Oh yeah? Well then who invented the Chinese basket trick? :'''Raphael''': Careful. That's my Father you're talking about, boy. :'''Dean''': Yeah, who would be so proud to know that His sons started the friggin' apocalypse. :'''Raphael''': Who ran off and disappeared. Who left no instructions, and a world to run. :'''Dean''': So Daddy ran away and disappeared. He didn't happen to work for the post office, did He? :'''Raphael''': This is funny to you? You're living in a Godless universe! <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': Look, I'll be the first to tell you that this little crusade of yours is nuts, but... I do know a little something about missing fathers. :'''Castiel''': What do you mean? :'''Dean''': I mean, there were times when I was looking for my dad when... all logic said that he was dead. But I knew, in my heart, that he was still alive. So, who cares what some Ninja Turtle says, Cas? What do you believe? :'''Castiel''': I believe He's out there. :'''Dean''': Good. Then go find Him. :'''Castiel''': What about you? :'''Dean''': What about me? I don't know. Honestly... I'm good. I can't believe I'm saying that, but I am, I'm... I'm really good. :'''Castiel''': Even without your brother? :'''Dean''': Especially without my brother. I mean, I spend so much time worrying about the son of a bitch. I mean, I've had more fun with you in the past twenty-four hours than I've had with Sam in years. And you're not that much fun. It's funny, you know, I've been so chained to my family, but now that I'm alone... hell, I'm happy. ==''[[w:Supernatural (season 5)#ep86|The End]]'' [5.04]== :'''[[w:Dean Winchester|Dean]]''': So you're his vessel, huh?

I can. I'm gonna prove it to you. :'''Dean''': Look, Sam, it doesn't matter. Whatever we do. I mean, it turns out that you and me, we're the, uh... the fire and the oil of the Armageddon. You know, on that basis alone, we should just pick a hemisphere. Stay away from each other for good. :'''Sam''': Dean, it does not have to be like this, we can fight it. :'''Dean''': Yeah, you're right, we can. But not together. We're not stronger when we're together, Sam. I think we're weaker. Because whatever we have between us; love, family, whatever it is; they are always gonna use it against us. And you know that. No, we're better off apart. We got a better chance of dodging Lucifer and Michael and this whole damn thing... if we just go our own ways. :'''Sam''': Dean, don't do this. :'''Dean''': Goodbye, Sam. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': What are you, a hippie? :'''2014-[[w:Castiel (Supernatural)|Castiel]]''': ''[stretching]'' Thought you'd gotten over trying to label me. :'''Dean''': Cas, we need to talk. :'''2014-Castiel''': ''[turns to face Dean]'' Whoa, strange. :'''Dean''': What? :'''2014-Castiel''': You... are not you, not 'now' you, anyway. :'''Dean''': No!

''[looks at the body of Dean-2014]'' Don't you think that would be a little redundant? ''[Sighs]'' I'm sorry. It must be painful, speaking to me in this... shape. But it had to be your brother. It had to be. ''[Tries to touch Dean but Dean flinches back]'' You don't have to be afraid of me, Dean. What do you think I'm going to do? :'''Dean''': I don't know, maybe deep-fry the planet? :'''Lucifer as Sam ''': Why? Why would I want to destroy this stunning thing? Beautiful, in a trillion different ways. The last perfect handiwork of God. You ever hear the story of how I fell from Grace? :'''Dean''': Oh, good God, you're not gonna tell me a bedtime story, are ya? My stomach's almost outta bile. :'''Lucifer as Sam ''': You know why God cast me down? Because I loved Him. More than anything. And then God created...''[smirks]'' you. The little... hairless apes. And then He asked all of us to bow down before you. To love you more than Him. And I said, "Father, I can't." I said, "These human beings are flawed. Murderous." And for that, God had Michael cast me into Hell. Now tell me, does the punishment fit the crime? Especially when I was right. Look what six billion of you have done to this thing. And how many of you blame me for it. :'''Dean''': ''[voice wavering]'' You're not fooling me, you know that? With this 'sympathy for the devil' crap. I know what you are. :'''Lucifer as Sam ''': What am I? :'''Dean''': You're the same thing, only bigger. The same brand of cockroach I've been squashing my whole life. An ugly, evil, belly-to-the-ground supernatural piece of crap. The only difference between them and you, is the size of your ego. :'''Lucifer as Sam ''': I like you, Dean. I get what the other angels see in you. Goodbye. We'll meet again soon. :'''Dean''': You better kill me now! :'''Lucifer as Sam ''': Pardon? :'''Dean''': You better kill me now!

I don't know, uh, whatever I need to be, but I was, uh... wrong. :'''Sam''': What made you change your mind? :'''Dean''': Long story. The point is... maybe we are each other's Achilles' heel. Maybe they'll find a way to use us against each other, I don't know. I just know, we're all we've got. More than that... we keep each other human. :'''Sam''': Thank you. Really, thank you. I won't let you down. :'''Dean''': Oh, I know it.

I deserve it, and worse. Hell, you'll never punish me as much as I'm punishing myself, but the point is, if we're gonna be a team, you and I—it has to be a two-way street. <hr width=50%> : '''Sam''': Dean, one of the reasons I went off with Ruby... was to get away from you. : '''Dean''': What? : '''Sam''': It made me feel strong, like I wasn't your kid brother. : '''Dean''': Are you saying this is my fault? : '''Sam''': No, it's my fault. All I'm saying is that if we're going to do this, we have to do it different. We can't just fall into the same rut. : '''Dean''': What do you want me to do? : '''Sam''': You're gonna have to let me grow up, for starters. ==''[[w:Supernatural (season 5)#ep88|I Believe the Children Are Our Future]]'' [5.06]== :'''[[w:Dean Winchester|Dean]]''': Maybe that's the connection.

I'm not here to fight. :'''Dean''': No. Just to rally every freak on the planet. Bring in Khan worms and--and half-assed Spidermen. And dragons. Really, sister? Dragons? :'''Eve''': So I dusted off some of the old classics. I needed help. ==''[[w:Supernatural (season 6)#ep124|The Man Who Would Be King]]'' [6.20]== :'''Castiel''': I remember being at a shoreline, watching a little grey fish heave itself up on the beach. And an older brother saying, "Don't step on that fish Castiel, big plans for that fish." I remember the the Tower of Babel - all 37 feet of it, which I suppose was impressive at the time. And when it fell they howled, "Divine Wrath!" But come on, dried dung can only be stacked so high. <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': And, of course, I remember the most remarkable event - remarkable because it never came to pass. It was averted by two boys, an old drunk and a fallen angel. The grand story. And we ripped up the ending and the rules...And destiny...leaving nothing but freedom and choice. Which is all well and good, except... Well, what if I've made the wrong choice? How am I supposed to know? I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you my story. Let me tell you everything. <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Chocula here feels every tickle. :'''Castiel''': What is that good for? :'''Crowley''': Apart from the obvious erotic value, you got me. <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': You screwed up, Cass. You let the hounds mangle the pheasant, and now I am up to my elbows in it. :'''Castiel''': What is your point? :'''Crowley''': My point is, you're distracted, and that makes me nervous. :'''Castiel''': I am holding up my end. :'''Crowley''': Ah yes, but is that all you're holding, huh? See, the stench of that Impala's all over your overcoat, angel. I thought we'd agreed, no more nights out with the boys. <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Am I the only game piece on the board who doesn't underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?! <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': God wants you to have freedom. :'''Rachel''': But what does he want us to do with it? :'''Castiel''': ''[narrating]'' If I knew then what I know now, I might have said; 'It's simple. Freedom is a length of rope, God wants you to hang yourself with it.' Those first weeks back in Heaven were surprisingly difficult. Explaining freedom to angels is a bit like teaching poetry to fish. <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': Whose Heaven is this? :'''Raphael''': Ken Lay's.

With me? I'm an Angel, you ass. I don't have a soul to sell. <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': The problem with the old place was most of the inmates were masochists already. A lot of "thank you sir, can I have another hot poker up the jacksy?" <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Just look at them. No one likes waiting in line. :'''Castiel''': What happens when they reach the front? :'''Crowley''': Nothing. They get right back to the end again. That's efficiency. <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': What can I do besides submit or die? :'''Crowley''': Submit or die? What are you, French? <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Castiel you got what they call 'sex appeal' :'''Castiel''': Thank you. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': You know who spies on people, Cas? Spies. <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': If you touch the Winchesters... :'''Crowley''': Please. I heard you the first time. I promise -- nary a hair on their artfully tousled heads. Besides, I think they've proven my point for me. It's always your friends, isn't it, in the end? We try to change. We try to improve ourselves. It's always our friends who got to claw into our sides and-and hold us back. But you know what I see here? The new God ''[pointing at Castiel]'' and the new Devil, working together. :'''Castiel''': Enough! Stop talking. And get out of my sight. :'''Crowley''': Well... Glad I came. You're welcome, by the way. You know the difference between you and me? I know what I am. What are you, Castiel? What exactly are you willing to do? <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': You're the one who taught me that freedom and free will... :'''Dean''': You're a freaking child, you know that?

Well, I think that too. Shouldn't trust run both ways? :'''Dean''': Cas, I just can't. :'''Castiel''': Dean, I do everything that you ask. I always come when you call. And I am your friend, still, despite your lack of faith in me, and now your threats. I just saved you, yet again. Has anyone but your closest kin ever done more for you? All I ask is this one thing. :'''Dean''': Trust your plan to pop Purgatory? :'''Castiel''': I've earned that Dean. <hr width=50%> :'''Balthazar''': I know I'm going to live to regret this, but...

That hurts. Okay. You're right. <hr width=50%> :'''Sam''': Dean, you know you have pulled some shady crap before but this... has got to be the worst. Whitewashing their memories?

That's the one I'd pick, quickest getaway. :'''Bartender''': And why do you know that? <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': Rest assured, when this is all over, I will save Sam. But only if you stand down. :'''Dean''': Save Sam from what?

Figured if I could get back here, back to my body I could, I don't know, I could snap out of it somehow. :'''Tortured Sam''': First you have to go through me. :'''Sam''': Why? :'''Tortured Sam''': Humpty-dumpty has to put himself back together again before you wake up.

Now, I assume it's because seven is a prime number, and prime numbers can be intimidating. :'''Sam''': ''[bemused]'' It's because seven eight nine. :''[The door opens with a loud creak]'' :'''Castiel''': It's wordplay. And the answer is the key, like the doors of Durin in "Lord of the Rings." :'''Sam''': Wait a second. You know about "The Lord of the Rings?" :'''Castiel''': I'm very pop-culture savvy now. <hr width=50%> :'''Sam''': So, Dean, uh...are we gonna talk about this, or what? :'''Dean''': About what? Yeah, I lied, but you were being an infant. :'''Sam''': Wow. Even for you, that apology sucked. :'''Dean''': Oh, I'm not apologizing. I'm telling you how it's gonna be. :'''Sam''': Dean, that Blade... :'''Dean''': That Blade's the only thing that can kill Metatron, and I am the only one who can use it...so from here on out, I'm calling the shots. Capisce? Look, until I jam that Blade through that douchebag's heart, we are not a team. This is a dictatorship. Now, you don't have to like it, but that's how it's gonna be. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': Cas, you just gave up an entire army for one guy. No, there's no way that you blew those people away. :'''Castiel''': You really believe we three will be enough? :'''Dean''': We always have been. ==''[[w:Supernatural (season 9)#ep195|Do You Believe in Miracles]]'' [9.23]== :'''Sam''': Something is wrong with you, Dean. And until we figure out what, this is where you have to stay. :'''Dean''': And you two are gonna do what? Take on Metatron yourselves? That's smart. Oh, no, wait. No, you... ''[motions to Castiel]'' you lost your Angel army. And you... ''[motions to Sam]'' now you're trying to lock up the one guy who has a shot at killing the son of a bitch?! Hell of a plan, fellas! <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Love, if I wanted a soapy massage from Dr. Phil, I would have hit 3 on the speed dial, all right? <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': What the hell's happening to me, you son of a bitch? :'''Crowley''': Liquor before beer, bad taco? How should I know? <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': You never get tired of the rat race? Never get the urge to just...bugger off and howl at the moon? Never ask yourself, "is this it? Is this all there is?" I kicked human blood, you know. :'''Dean''': Oh, so you're full-metal douche again. Well, that's fantastic. Would you like a stuffed bear? <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': How's hell, Crowley? :'''Crowley''': Hell's fine. Hell's like a Swiss watch. Don't worry about hell. Hell's complicated. :'''Dean''': "Game of Thrones" is complicated. Shower sex... that's complicated. Hell ain't complicated. Your problem ain't hell. It's you. <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not gonna eat your food? :'''Dean''': Not hungry. <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': The door to heaven is in a playground? :'''Gadreel''': Guarded by two of Metatron's most loyal. I recruited them myself. So, you said you had a plan... How we might convince them to let us pass. :'''Castiel''': ''[pulls out handcuffs]'' Wookiee. :'''Gadreel''': ''[looks very confused]'' Brother, I have no idea what that means. :'''Castiel''': It's a reference to a very popular film that... never mind. <hr width=50%> :'''Crowley''': Excuse me! I'm not exactly demon minion number three here. As the kids say, I've got mad skills. :'''Dean''': Look, I don't know what you expected here. Okay? I don't really care. But you wanted off the hamster wheel. Get off. :'''Crowley''': Well, I guess I've been Winchestered. <hr width=50%> :'''Gadreel''': I sat in this hole for thousands of years, thinking of nothing but redemption, of reclaiming my good name. I thought of nobody, no cause, other than my own. :'''Castiel''': You've been redeemed, my friend. :'''Gadreel''': The only thing that matters in the end is the mission... protecting those who would not and cannot protect themselves... <hr width=50%> :'''Gadreel''': Move to the other side of your cell, Castiel, and keep your head down. :'''Castiel''': What are you doing? :''[Hannah sees that Gadreel has carved a suicide sigil on his chest and fumbles to unlock the door]'' :'''Gadreel''': When they say my name, perhaps I won't just be the one who let the serpent in. Perhaps I will be known as one of the many... :'''Castiel''': Gadreel. :'''Gadreel''': ...who gave heaven a second chance. Run, sister. ''[Hannah runs away from the cell]'' :'''Castiel''': Gadreel. :''[Gadreel stabs himself. The cell he's in explodes]'' :'''Castiel''': ''[to Hannah]'' Do you believe him now? <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': You can save the humble pie Jesus routine for somebody who gives a damn. :'''Metatron''': The problem with you Dean, is the cynicism. Always with the cynicism. But most people, even the real belly crawlers, living in filth, or Brentwood, they don't want to be cynical. They just want something to believe in. :'''Dean''': And that'be you. :'''Metatron''': Why not me? :'''Dean''': You've been working those people outside for what, a day? And they've already spilled blood in your name. You're nothing but Bernie Madoff with wings. :'''Metatron''': Ah, ah. So I'm a fake. Do you have any idea how much pancake make-up and soft lighting it took to get God to work a rope line? He hated it. And you know, humans sensed that. So they prayed harder and longer and fought more wars in His name. And for what?ǃ So they could die of malaria? Leukaemia? And all the while, blaming themselvesː "Oh, if only I'd been more prayerful, God would have loved meǃ God would have saved meǃ" You know what?ǃ God didn't even know their nameǃ But I do. Because I've walked among them, and I can save them. :'''Dean''': Sure you can. So long as your mug is in every Bible, and "What would Metatron do?" is on every bumper. :'''Metatron''': And? What, are you blaming me for giving them what they want? Giving them a brand they can believe in? :'''Dean''': I'm blaming you for Kevinǃ I'm blaming you for taking Cas' Grace. Hell, I'm blaming you for the Cubs not winning the World Series in the last 100 freaking yearsǃ :''[Showing the First Blade]'' Whatever it is, I'm blaming you. :'''Metatron''': The First Blade. Nasty piece of work, isn't she? Ok, let's say you win, Dean, and I die. What's the world left with then, hmm? A herd of panty-waisted angels and you? Half out of your mind with lord knows what pumping through those veins? :'''Dean''': You see, the only thing you've said that went in my ear was that you die. :'''Metatron''': Oh, fine. We'll fight. I don't know what you expect is gonna come of all this. Unless... that's why you're stalling. Because you know nothing's gonna come of this unless your pals :''[Gadreel and Castiel]'' succeed upstairs. Well, here's a newsflashː Humpty and Dumpty are starring in their very own version of "Locked Up Abroadː Heaven" right now. :''[Dean punches Metatron]'' :'''Metatron''': Wow, that big blade and that douchy tribal tat sure gave you some super juice. Whooǃ Okay...''[They start fighting]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Sam''': Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh. Shut up. Shut up. Just save your energy, all right? Oh, man. We'll stop the bleeding. We'll... we'll get you a doctor or... or I'll find a spell. You're gonna be okay. :''[Sam takes his brother's hand and presses it to his chest to keep the cloth in place.]'' :'''Dean''': Listen to me. It's better this way. :'''Sam''': What?! :'''Dean''': ''[Gasping in pain]'' The Mark. It's making me into something I don't want to be. <hr width=50%> :''[Dean is dying despite Sam trying to save him]'' :'''Dean''': I thought you were alright with this? :'''Sam''': I lied. :'''Dean''': Ain't that a bitch. <hr width=50%> :'''Metatron''': Ah. So Gadreel bites the dust. And the Angel tablet... arguably the most powerful instrument in the history of the universe... is in pieces, and for what again? Oh, that's right... to save Dean Winchester. That was your goal, right? I mean, you draped yourself in the flag of heaven, but ultimately, it was all about saving one human, right? Well, guess what. He's dead, too. :''[Castiel's horrified eyes shoot to Metatron's face]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': Sam. Hold up. Hold up... I gotta say something to you... :'''Sam''': What? :'''Dean''': ''[last words]'' I'm proud of us. <hr width=50%> :''[Dean lies dead on a bed]'' :'''Crowley''': Your brother, bless his soul, is summoning me as I speak. Make a deal, bring you back. It's exactly what I was talking about, isn't it? It's all become so... expected. You have to believe me. When I suggested you take on the Mark of Cain, I didn't know this was going to happen. Not really. I mean, I might not have told you the entire truth. But I never lied. I never lied, Dean. That's important. It's fundamental. But...there is one story about Cain that I might have... forgotten to tell you. Apparently, he, too, was willing to accept death, rather than becoming the killer the Mark wanted him to be. So he took his own life with the Blade. He died. Except, as rumor has it, the Mark never quite let go. You can understand why I never spoke of this. Why set hearts aflutter at mere speculation? It wasn't until you summoned me... No, it wasn't truly until you left that cheeseburger uneaten...that I began to let myself believe. Maybe miracles do come true. :''[Crowley places the First Blade into Dean's hand and lays them both on Dean's chest.]'' :'''Crowley''': Listen to me, Dean Winchester, what you're feeling right now... it's not death. It's life... a new kind of life. Open your eyes, Dean. See what I see. Feel what I feel. Let's go take a howl at that moon. :''[Dean's eyes open, they are demonic black.]'' ==Cast== *[[w:Jared Padalecki|Jared Padalecki]] - [[w:Sam Winchester|Sam Winchester]] *[[w:Jensen Ackles|Jensen Ackles]] - [[w:Dean Winchester|Dean Winchester]] *[[w:Misha Collins|Misha Collins]] - [[w:Castiel_(Supernatural)|Castiel]] *[[w:Mark A.

I know you have some freaking demon parading around in his meatsuit, and trust me, you are gonna pay for that. :'''Crowley''': Moose. Moose. I'm afraid you haven't allowed yourself to dream quite big enough here. Your brother is very much alive, courtesy of the mark. And the only demonized soul inside of Dean is his and his alone. Wee bit more twisted, a little more mangled beyond human recognition, but, I can assure you, all his. There, now. Feel better? :'''Sam''': And the, uh, Abaddon supporters you've been sending to kill my brother, how does Dean feel about that double-cross? :'''Crowley''': If that's what you think is happening, then you're more out of your depths than I thought. :'''Sam''': I don't know how you did this, what kind of...

So far we’ve got nothing, we have found nothing in the Men of Letters library, Metatron may or may not know something, and maybe Cas is onto something with Cain, maybe. :'''Sam''': Yeah maybe, nothing is guaranteed Dean, so what? You can’t just stop fighting. :'''Dean''': Yes we can. :'''Sam''': So this is it? You’re just gonna, gonna give up? :'''Dean''': No, I'm not just going to give up. I appreciate the effort, okay I do. But the answer is not out there, it's with me. I need to be the one calling the shots here, okay? I can't keep waking up every morning with this false hope... I gotta know where I stand otherwise I'm gonna lose my freaking mind... So I'm gonna fight it, till I can't fight it anymore. And when all is said and done, I'll go down swinging. ==''[[w:Supernatural (season 10)#ep209|The Executioner's Song]]'' [10.14]== :'''Castiel''': This is a massacre. :'''Cain''': Yes. And soon it will be a genocide. My children, my whole poisoned issue. Lot of them out there right now... killers, fighters, thieves. Some more peaceful than others, but they still carry it... the disease. If the Mark wants blood, I'll give it mine. :'''Castiel''': You are Adam and Eve's first born, your descendants are legion. :'''Cain''': At most I'm culling... one in ten. :'''Castiel''': Of everyone. :'''Cain''': I've got time. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': You know last week when I said I would go down swinging when the time came? I meant that, I was at peace with that... I just didn't realize that the time would come so soon. Like right now... I'm scared Sam. <hr width=50%> :'''Cain''': You're holding back! What is it Dean? You think if you hold back just enough you won't succumb? That you'll leave this fight the same as you entered? Look to my example boy!

That old feeling, makes me wonder how I ever had the strength to resist... This may be hard to believe, what I'm about to do to you, but I care about you Dean, I truly do, but I know I'm doing you a favor. I'm saving you. :'''Dean''': Saving me from what? :'''Cain''': From your fate. Has it ever occurred to you? Have you never mused upon the fact that you are living my life in reverse. My story began when I killed my brother, and that's where your story will inevitably end. :'''Dean''': No. Never. :'''Cain''': It's called the Mark of Cain for a reason! First, first you'd kill Crowley... there'd be some strange mixed feelings on that one, but you'd have your reason, get it done, no remorse. And then you'd kill the angel Castiel, now that one, that I suspect would hurt something awful. And then... Then would come the murder you'd never survive, the one that would finally turn you into as a much of a savage as it did me... your brother Sam. The only thing standing between you and that destiny is this blade. You're welcome my son. <hr width=50%> :'''Castiel''': How is he? ...

Just zip it up. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': Sam! I know what you're doing over there, and it ain't porn. Look man, we have checked every website, okay we checked it twice. Sam when we work a case, there's always that-that point where we have to face the truth, right? Even if we don't like it. Well truth is, there's no way around this. We saw what happened to Cain, okay. I'm not happy about it, but I gotta move on. So I'm gonna keep doing what we do... while I still can, and I'd like you to be there with me. <hr width=50%> :'''Cole''': Damn. Day in day out, you and Sammy saving people from things they just can't wrap their minds around, and nobody even notices. At least I get a medal for my efforts, but you...

You think this is what he felt like, when he turned. <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': Maybe, he was human before he was a monster. :'''Cole''': I get it, why you did it Dean. My Dad wasn't my dad anymore, if I go down that same road, I want you to do that to me too. :'''Dean''': That road? That means giving up. If you think that's where your headed, then you've got it ass backwards. You're gonna fight, harder then you ever have. You understand. :'''Cole''': I appreciate the talk coach, but honestly all I can think about is slicing open your wrists and drinking you like a fountain. I guess that makes me a monster, don't it? <hr width=50%> :'''Dean''': Don't blame yourself for Kit, man. :'''Sam''': I can't help it Dean, it feels crappy. :'''Dean''': I know it does. :'''Sam''': I tried, I did, I tried.

I didn’t want to die... yet. And that I wasn’t ready. :'''Father Delaney''': Are you expecting to? :'''Dean''': Always. The life I live, the work I do, I pretty much just figured that was all there was to me. You know, tearing around and jam the key in the ignition and haul ass till I ran out of gas. I guess I just thought, sooner or later I’d go out the same way that I live. Pedal to the metal and that would be it. :'''Father Delaney''': But Now? :'''Dean''': Now, em, recent events made me think I may be closer to that than I really thought. And, I don’t know, I mean there’s... there’s things, there’s... people, feelings that I-I-I want to experience differently than I have before, or maybe even for the first time. :'''Father Delaney''': Go a little deeper perhaps than with Gina :'''Dean''': Yeah, yeah I’m just starting to think that, maybe there’s more to it all than I thought. :'''Father Delaney''': Learning there’s more to the universe than your tiny world can be a frightening discovery. You truly believe in God agent? Because that can be a comfort. :'''Dean''': I believe there is a God... But I’m not sure he still believes in us. <hr width=50%> :'''Sam''': I heard what Sister Matthias was saying about, you know, hiding pain by taking on a mission. And I... I know what you’re doing a little bit, and it’s okay. I mean, it’s fine, I get it, I’ve done it before too. But I don’t buy for one second that the mark is terminal diagnosis, so don’t go making peace with that idea, there has to be a way, there will be a way and we will find it, that’s what we do. So believe that. :'''Dean''': Okay Sammy. :'''Sam''': You wanna try that again like you mean it? :'''Dean''': Okay. ==''[[w:Supernatural (season 10)#ep212|Inside Man]]'' [10.17]== :'''Crowley''': ''[Walks in on Rowena being naked in front of a mirror.]'' Oh, god! :'''Rowena''': ''[Quickly puts a robe on]'' Please.

Family cares about you, not what you can do for them family's there; for the good, bad, all of it. They got your back, even when it hurts. That's family.

(alt trans = 'remain') ** "The Choice of Comrades", ''Dissent'' (Winter 1955). *What struck me most about the Russian Communists, even in such really exceptional personalities as Lenin and Trotsky, was their utter incapacity to be fair in discussing opinions that conflicted with their own. The adversary, simply for daring to contradict, at once became a traitor, an opportunist, a hireling. ''An adversary in good faith'' is inconceivable to the Russian Communists. What an aberration of conscience this is, for so-called materialists and rationalists absolutely in their polemics to uphold the primacy of morals over intelligence! To find a comparable infatuation one has to go back to the Inquisition. **''The God That Failed'', Crossman, Richard, ed. (1963).

It began airing on [[w:Science (TV network)|Science]] in the United States on 9 June 2010. {{tv-stub}} ==Title sequence== :'''[[Morgan Freeman]]''':&nbsp; [[Space]], [[time]], [[life]] itself—the [[secrets]] of the [[cosmos]] lie through the wormhole. ==[[w:Through the Wormhole#Season 6 (2015)|Season 6]] (2015)== ==="[[w:Through the Wormhole#ep49|Are We All Bigots?]]" [6.01]=== :'''[[Morgan Freeman]]''':&nbsp; If you think you [[perceive|see]] everyone as [[equal]], you're kidding yourself.&nbsp; We all have [[biases]], and no matter how [[open-minded]] we [[think]] we are, [[stereotypes]] colour our [[judgements]] of others and can lead us badly astray.&nbsp; We [[live]] in a [[society]] fractured by [[race]], [[religion]], even our favourite [[sports]] teams.&nbsp; We divide ourselves into rival tribes. :'''Morgan Freeman as the caricature of a politician on a television screen''':&nbsp; "The [[political]] divide between us grows deeper with every passing year." :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; When did [[hate]] become hard-wired into our [[brains]]? :'''Morgan Freeman as the caricature of a politician on a television screen''':&nbsp; "We live in two different Americas, one for the [[rich]]…" :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; Are we all ''[[born]]'' to [[discriminate]] against our fellow [[humans]]?&nbsp; All we all ''[[bigots]]''? <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; Now, I [[think]] of myself as an [[open-minded]] person, but [[scientists]] tell me I'm kidding myself, and so are you.&nbsp; We ''all'' look at the world with [[prejudice]], and when you only have a split second to [[decide]], your own snap [[judgements]] may [[shock]] you. <hr width=50%> :'''Josh Correll''':&nbsp; So, what we want to look at is, in that situation, where there's not good, clear [[information]], where people have to respond [[quickly]], do they use [[race]] to inform their [[decisions]]? <hr width=50%> :'''Josh Correll''':&nbsp; It's worth noting that, in this [[game]], people are pretty good.&nbsp; They don't make a ton of [[mistakes]]—ten, fifteen percent of the time they make a mistake.&nbsp; But when we ''look'' at those mistakes, we see [[racial]] bias in the errors.&nbsp; So they're [[faster]] to shoot the armed target if he's [[black people|black]] rather than than [[white people|white]].&nbsp; When the target's got a [[cell phone]], they're much more likely to make that [[decision]], to shoot an [[innocent]] target, when he's black rather than white. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; Does this mean that [[white people|white]] Americans are inherently [[bigoted]]?&nbsp; An utterly shocking trend with Josh's ''[[black people|black]]'' participants suggests that it's much more [[complicated]] than that. :'''Josh Correll''':&nbsp; We see that black participants show the same anti-black bias that white participants do.&nbsp; Actually, when we test to see if there's a difference in the two groups, white participants ''versus'' black participants, they're not [[statistically]] different from each other.&nbsp; So, we think this [[represents]] an [[awareness]] of a [[cultural]] [[stereotype]], not that our participants ''[[believe]]'', necessarily, that black [[men]] are more [[dangerous]] than white men. <hr width=50%> :<p>'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; Why would we make [[life]]-and-[[death]] [[decisions]] based on [[stereotypes]] we don't even [[believe]]?&nbsp; I always [[thought]] we could over''come'' these [[bigoted]] [[ideas]], but one neuroscientist says it's not that simple; [[racist]] stereotypes hijack our [[subconscious]] [[minds]].</p><p>Neuroscientist Jon Freeman believes we all carry around stereotypes in our subconscious.&nbsp; …&nbsp; These [[prejudiced]] thoughts are quickly snuffed out by the [[conscious]] mind, but that doesn't mean that they're [[harmless]].</p> :'''Jon Freeman''':&nbsp; Those stereotypes can actually wind up impacting [[behaviour]].&nbsp; So, for example, if individuals [[unconsciously]] see [[African-American]] [[faces]] as being slightly more [[angry]] than they are, that's [[probably]] going to impact how much they approach or avoid that individual at a [[spontaneous]] level. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; It may not be as [[difficult|hard]] as you think for a [[bigot]] to have a [[change of heart]].&nbsp; If any of us has a positive [[experience]] with someone from a different [[racial]] group, [[biology]] has the [[power]] to make us [[feel]] [[empathy]] for a ''[[stranger]]'' from that group.&nbsp; In facts, Peggy [[believes]] that empathy is a primal [[instinct]] for all [[mammals]]. :'''Peggy Mason''':&nbsp; What [[rats]] tell us is that we have a mammalian [[inheritance]] which makes us want to help another in [[distress]].&nbsp; But the amazing thing we [[learn]] from the rats is that what the rats need to do is to have an experience with a different type of rat, and then that rat can be part of their in-group, too.&nbsp; And that's really—that's really an amazing and [[hopeful]] message, I [[think]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; But [[bigotry]] isn't ''just'' about the [[circumstances]] of your [[birth]].&nbsp; Even fans of rival [[sports]] teams can learn to [[hate]] one another with all the venom of a bigot. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; Do you [[perceive|see]] the [[world]] as it ''[[really]]'' is, or how your [[political party]] ''[[wants]]'' you to see it. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; [[Media]] [[pundits]] often accuse [[violent]] [[video games]] of [[destroying]] the [[morality]] of our [[youth]].&nbsp; Is that [[really]] [[true]]?&nbsp; Matthew<!--Matthew Grizzard--> has a series of test subjects play a game where they can [[hurt]] simulated [[human beings]].&nbsp; So, Matthew gives the [[command|order]] to commit blatant [[crimes against humanity]].&nbsp; …&nbsp; It is [[guilt]]-inducing, to say the least. <hr width=50%> :'''Matthew Grizzard''':&nbsp; So, our findings showed that individuals [[recalling]] a [[real]]-world [[guilty]] experience actually felt more guilt, but that guilt solicited by [[video game]] was positively associated with ''increased'' [[moral]] [[sensitivity]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; For now, our best [[tool]] to fight [[bigotry]] lies within [[ourselves]]: the [[courage]] to walk away.&nbsp; We all have bigotry inside us.&nbsp; Most of us work hard to ''[[suppress]]'' our innate [[prejudices]], but some don't, and their bigotry is [[infectious]].&nbsp; '''The [[solution]] to bigotry does ''not'' start with [[government]] and [[laws]]; it starts with [[understanding]] and neutralising its source, and with you and me doing ''our'' best to [[change]].''' ==="[[w:Through the Wormhole#ep50|Can Time Go Backwards?]]" [6.02]=== :'''[[Morgan Freeman]]''':&nbsp; We're all marching relentlessly forward through [[time]].&nbsp; We [[accept]] that there's no way to get off this ride, or to [[change]] our [[destiny]].&nbsp; But what if that's not [[really]] [[true]]?&nbsp; What if we can send [[messages]] back in time and change events that already happened?&nbsp; Can the [[future]] reach back and re-write the [[present]]?&nbsp; Can time go backwards? <hr width=50%> :'''Todd Brun''':&nbsp; The [[direction]] of [[time]] ''itself'' is something of a [[mystery]].&nbsp; In the [[equations]] of [[physics]], it [[seems]] like you could run them either forwards or backwards. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; But there is one [[paradox]] that time-travel may create.&nbsp; When [[time-travelling]] Todd turns over those [[time machine]] plans to his [[ancestor]], that ancestor could then pass down those plans back to time-travelling Todd, who uses the plans to build the time machine.&nbsp; Neither of them actually [[created]] the plans. :'''Todd Brun''':&nbsp; The [[question]] is, where did the [[blueprints|plans]] come from?&nbsp; The plans seemingly [[appeared]] out of [[nowhere]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; But to find the backwards-in-[[time]]-travelling Higgs singlet, we'll have to look at what happens ''before'' the collision that [[created]] it.&nbsp; …&nbsp; Currently, the [[Large Hadron Collider|L.&nbsp;H.&nbsp;C.]] isn't set up to look at collisions before they happen. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; It may [[seem]] that [[time]] relentlessly carries us from the [[past]] toward the [[future]], but that's not the way the [[universe]] [[really]] works.&nbsp; What takes place in our past does not simply recede into [[history]], it becomes imprinted into the fabric of the [[cosmos]].&nbsp; One day, we may [[learn]] to weave the threads of the past and the future together, and truly play with the boundless [[possibilities]] of time. ==="[[w:Through the Wormhole#ep51|Are We Here For A Reason?]]" [6.03]=== :'''[[Morgan Freeman]]''':&nbsp; What is the [[meaning of life]]?&nbsp; Don't you [[believe]] there's a ''[[purpose|reason]]'' for us being here?&nbsp; We are, after all, such sophisticated creatures, the [[result]] of billions of [[years]] of [[evolution]].&nbsp; Surely, [[life]] is about more than just our ''[[biological]]'' [[needs]], more than the daily rat race.&nbsp; Is all the [[knowledge]] we've gained over the [[generations]] aiming toward some final [[goal]]?&nbsp; Are we architects of our own [[fate]], or is life just a series of [[random]] [[accidents]]?&nbsp; Is our [[existence]] just a fluke of [[nature]], or are we here for a reason? <hr width=50%> :'''[[w:Leroy Cronin|Lee Cronin]]''':&nbsp; This is why we're really [[excited]], because we can ''show'' that [[evolution]] can occur ''in'' the [[natural]] world ''without'' [[genetic]] material. <hr width=50%> :'''Lee Cronin''':&nbsp; Where there is [[energy]], and there is [[matter]], [[chemistry]] transforms into [[biology]] over [[time]].&nbsp; And this happens as a [[natural law]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; [[w:Richard Lenski|Richard]] doesn't have billions of [[years]] to watch [[evolution]] in action, but he does have the span of one [[lifetime]], which he has dedicated to performing the longest evolutionary [[experiment]] in the [[history of science]].&nbsp; Twenty-seven years ago, Richard plucked twelve [[genetically]]-identical [[E. coli]] bacteria from a container and allowed them to start their own populations in twelve separate [[worlds]].&nbsp; Ever since, [[day]] after day, he's [[watched]] each of the twelve populations [[reproduce|multiply]] and [[compete]] amongst themselves for a limited amount of [[food]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Razib Khan''':&nbsp; [[Humans]] exhibit a lot of [[changes]] in our [[genome]] over the last ten-thousand [[years]].&nbsp; My own, [[personal]] [[opinion]] is, yes, you ''can'' [[define]] humans as a domestic [[animal]].&nbsp; We live in large groups.&nbsp; If you took humans individually, and put them on an [[island]], they really couldn't [[survive]]. <hr width=50%> :'''[[Susan Blackmore|Sue Blackmore]]''':&nbsp; [[Memes]] are the [[cultural]] equivalent of [[genes]], if you like.&nbsp; They're [[information]] that is [[copied]] from [[person]] to person, person to [[book]]—&nbsp; They encompass all of the [[skills]], [[habits]], [[stories]] that we pass from person to person, and they [[compete]] to use ''our [[brains]]'' to get themselves copied, and, in that way, they [[evolve]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Sara Walker''':&nbsp; I think about [[biological]] [[systems]] as [[physical]] [[systems]], but they're a [[unique]] ''kind'' of physical system, and they're uniquely [[defined]], really, by the way they handle [[information]]. :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; Sara defines life as a self-replicating [[algorithm]], a computational [[machine]] that processes information and then makes [[copies]] of itself. <hr width=50%> :'''Sara Walker''':&nbsp; What's amazing about having a small [[child]] in your [[home]] is how they [[learn]] things.&nbsp; …&nbsp; So he's [[really]] just like an [[information]] [[junkie]], [[running]] around being like, "What is this?&nbsp; What is this?&nbsp; What is this?"&nbsp; And, so, it's pretty [[fun]]. <hr width=50%> :'''Sara Walker''':&nbsp; Perhaps that actually ''is'' the [[purpose]] of [[living]] [[systems]]—is to figure out how the [[universe]] actually works.&nbsp; So living systems, in this kind of framework, are somewhat fundamental to the universe because they're the way the universe figures [[itself]] out. <hr width=50%> :'''Morgan Freeman''':&nbsp; [[Life]] may ''not'' have one unifying [[purpose]], but that shouldn't stop us all from searching for it. ==="[[w:Through the Wormhole#ep52|Do We Live In The Matrix?]]" [6.04]=== :'''[[Morgan Freeman]]''':&nbsp; Our [[universe]] [[certainly]] [[seems]] [[real]].&nbsp; But what if it's not?&nbsp; We may be nothing more than [[video game]] [[characters]] [[designed]] for someone else's [[amusement]].&nbsp; But how could a [[computer]] [[juggle]] every aspect of the [[cosmos]]?&nbsp; Maybe what [[looks]] [[random]] has already been [[programmed]] to happen.&nbsp; Can we [[discover]] some [[hidden]] [[glitch]] in the [[laws]] of the universe and uncover its hidden code?&nbsp; Do we [[live]] in the [[The Matrix (franchise)|Matrix]]? ==Cast== *[[Morgan Freeman]] — host ==External links== {{Wikipedia}} *{{Official website|http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/through-the-wormhole/}} *{{IMDb title|1513168}} [[Category:Discovery Channel shows]] [[Category:Science (TV network) shows]] [[Category:American documentary TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] 6at7pr7thznfan7ukdubty1v1w8cuhf Beavis and Butt-head (season 1) 0 175511 3147594 3140751 2022-07-26T18:09:20Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[Beavis and Butt-head]]''''' (1993–1997, 2011) was an [[United States of America|American]] animated [[television]] series that originally aired on the cable television channel [[w:MTV|MTV]].&nbsp;

What's a spoiled young Hollywood actress to do when thrown into the tank with all those sharks? Those are just the prison guards. No, Lacey Rivers is going to have to rely on her one skill she can count on – her acting. You don't get $5 million a picture without any talent. Behind these locked doors, our little Lacey is about to give the performance of her life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Watch any Lacey Rivers movie, and you will always be treated to a happy ending. Well, poor Lacey. She's about to discover that real life rarely turns out like a G-rated family film. Karma can be such a bitch. ===''Bad Medicine''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a nurse's uniform]'' All superheroes have a story of origin, from an awkward teenager that's bitten by a radioactive spider, a daring test pilot that's bestowed a very powerful ring, an alien from the planet Krypton that crash-lands on Earth. A femme fatale, you see, well, she's cut from similar cloth. Some women are born to be empowered and dangerous and they embrace it according to their nature. Well, the essence of a femme fatale may be lying dormant, just waiting for fate to see her free. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[still in her nurse's uniform]'' It looks like Greg is in for an electrifying experience. And as for our sweet Nurse Violet, she's blossomed into quite a woman – a newly-minted femme fatale in control of her own destiny and administering her own dose of bad medicine. ===''Something Like Murder''=== :'''Lilith''': Whenever you find a rich man, you are bound to find a gold-digger waiting to take him for everything he's got. Well, tonight, somewhere in these Hollywood hills, this gold-digger really was using a shovel. It's been said the taste of evil smells like honeysuckle. I wouldn't argue with that, but tonight, there is a distinct smell in the air and it smells like murder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Poor Darla. She thought she'd planned the perfect murder, but greed makes suckers of all of us. There is no easy way to make money in this economy. Unless, of course, you're Elena Machado, a hard-working cleaning woman, who just got a very, very big severance package. I guess it's safe to say she won't be coming to work on Monday. ===''Speed Date''=== :'''Kevin Freeman''': I like a woman who knows herself. Confidence is beauty. There's nothing lovelier than a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. An independent woman, with a spry personality and an old soul. That's the one for me. I'm Troy. When I'm in the outdoors, it's about freedom. I read. Losing myself in the pages of a good book is pure nirvana. Like an hour-long bubble bath, with bath bombs from bliss. My best friends are Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Without them, I am lost. Simply put: their music is the soundtrack of my life. Yeah, I know I'm good-looking, but that's not worth a hill of beans unless you find the right girl to spend life's special moments with. And let me tell you: In this town, it's been tough to find that special someone. If you're confident, if you're independent, if you're open-minded, passionate, genuine, creative, funny... if you think you're her, and you think we'll click, please, contact me. DocTroy77. Thank you, Doctor Troy. Ladies, all of our lines are open. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': We all tell little white lies. We lie about our height, our weight, where we've been and where we're going. And tonight, video game developer Kevin Freeman is about to discover that when his fantasy turns into reality, honesty, in fact, may be the best policy as his little white lies get him into a world of trouble. ===''The White Flower''=== :'''Lilith''': Money. It's been said it is the root of all evil. Well, tonight, in this seedy motel room, two men are about to find out that it's the devil's honest truth – that when the fickle finger of fate points in your direction, the most innocuous omen may be the harbinger of doom, and it may come in the most enticing package with a heart that beats of pure deceit. So tonight, I bequeath to you "The White Flower". ===''Girls Gone Dead''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a school uniform]'' Psychologists believe that the brain doesn't stop maturing until we're well into our twenties. So what does that mean for a girl who's turned 18? Legally, she's an adult, yet she still has a brain that's... well, let's just say a brain that's not fully cooked. ''[giggles]'' I guess that's why you can say we go away to college. It's like an incubator. A place to keep our bodies safe and our brains baking. Until we're able to make informed intelligent choices. But what happens when our bodies are ready, willing and able, yet our minds are not mature enough to make these right decisions, especially when faced with a friendly smile and irresistible temptations like... a T-shirt, or worse, plastic beads? You can't expect a girl, whose body that's trying to catch up to its brain, to understand concepts like consequences, particularly with a little booze involved, and some soft light and a charming man with a camera. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay Roma''': I guarantee there is not a hotter party in the world and no place I'd rather be than right here with the girls of Theta Alpha Nu! Ten smoking hot coeds and yours truly! I got a feeling we're gonna see some truly ''Crazy Chixx''! Let's find out just how crazy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': I have a strict policy; I don't... participate. :'''Alexis''': Why not? :'''Jay''': I built my brand on ''Crazy Chixx'', not on some dirtbag trying to get with them. :'''Tiffany''': You've never been in one of your videos? :'''Jay''': No. Never. It would ruin my reputation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kip''': Nobody lives here. :'''Erida''': Of course we live here; it's our sorority house. :'''Kip''': This is no sorority. Nobody lives here... and that's water! :'''Erida''': Water is the source of all life. :'''Kip''': Why are all the vodka bottles filled with water?! :'''Erida''': We don't wanna be drunk for this. :'''Kip''': Who are you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Where the hell is Kip? :'''Erida''': My fault. Sorry. :'''Jay''': Well, where the hell is he? :'''Erida''': Let's just say his willpower lost this time. :'''Jay''': Kip, you're fired!! :'''Erida''': Don't blame him! He couldn't resist. :'''Jay''': Well, what happened? What'd you do? Jeez! He knows better! To hell with him. You know how to work this thing? :'''Emily''': Hell, yeah. :'''Jay''': Good. Come on! I wanna make this lousy bastard sorry. :'''Tiffany''': We have just the thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Uh, all right, look, this is getting kinda dangerous. Tiffany? :'''Tiffany''': I'm getting kind of used to that name. It's got a nice ring to it. My real name is Jessica. But you wouldn't remember that, would you, Jay? Tiffany, well... it's just a variation of a Greek name. Tisiphone. She was a goddess... the goddess of vengeance. :'''Jay''': All right, uh... Kip!! :'''Tiffany''': But I thought you wanted to meet Caroline. :'''Jay''': Screw Caroline! :'''Tiffany''': You already did!! You got me and Caroline drunk. Really drunk. Then you gave us some money. And then you ruined our lives! We had to drop out of school, change our names, and no matter where we moved or what we did, we could not get away from what we did for you! Of course, I handled it a lot better than she did. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kip''': I know you. Your name's not Erida, is it? :'''Erida''': Very good, Kip. I'm gonna give you a little lesson in Greek mythology. You see, Erida was a Greek goddess... the goddess of hate. She could only be appeased once blood was spilled. :'''Kip''': What are you gonna do? :'''Erida''': Isn't it obvious? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alexis''': By the way, I'm Ashley. When you filmed me, that was my name. :'''Tiffany''': It was her brilliant idea to use Greek names. :'''Alexis''': Alexis, from the Greek name Alecto. :'''Erida''': The goddess of unresting. :'''Alexis''': I haven't rested since I met you, Jay. :'''Erida''': Ash graduated magna cum laude in Ancient Greek. She's a member of Mensa, bonehead. :'''Alexis''': I have a feeling I'll rest tonight. :'''Jay''': What do you want?! What do you want?!! :'''Erida''': Isn't it obvious? :'''Tiffany''': We all appeared in your videos. Now it's your turn to be in ours. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Okay. All right. I know what you're doing, you dumb bitches! You think you're gonna embarrass me?! You think you're gonna film me and make me look like an idiot and ruin my reputation?! When I get out of here, you're gonna be dead! To hell with you, and to hell with your harlot friend Caroline! :'''Emily''': And to think I had second thoughts about this. :'''Tiffany''': I told you it would be worth it. :'''Jay''': I'm gonna sue you! I oughta sue you for everything you've got! You wanna film me?! You wanna film me? Go ahead and film me, you stupid harlots! :'''Tiffany''': Come on. Let's go upstairs and clean up. :'''Jay''': Wait! :'''Tiffany''': Congrats, Jay. This will definitely be your biggest hit ever. :'''Jay''': Where are you going? Hey. Hey, come back here! No! Come back! Please! Hey! Come back...! ''[coughs and chokes]'' Hey! Help! Help! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[giggles]'' Luckily, most people can't speak Greek. If Kip or Jay did, they may recognize that Theta Alpha Nu are the first three letters of the word Thanatos. That's Greek for death. Clever girls. Jay Roma. Made his first million at the age of 25. Made his first hundred million by the age of 32. But by 35, 20 million hits on his very last video. I guess these chicks are crazier than what he ever dreamed. And as the Greeks say – Kali nichta. Good night. ===''Haunted''=== :'''Lilith''': Five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a swimming pool and a bonus guest house. This house would be a real steal, if it weren't haunted. But how could you prove that? Or disprove it? And would you live in a house with that kind of storied reputation? Would you even spend one night? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Do you believe in ghosts or demons? Do you think it's possible for them to enter our world? Maybe the next time you meet a girl that seems too good to be true, she may very well be the ultimate femme fatale. ''[slowly fades away into thin air]'' ===''Angel & Demons''=== :'''Lilith''': The animal kingdom is a fiercely violent domain. Animals kill for food, for territory and for survival. But there is one animal that's known to kill for pleasure – man. We live in a world populated by angels and demons. You're about to meet both. ===''Help Me, Rhonda''=== :'''Lilith''': You all know Camille Gardner – a beautiful woman who, like so many, got married too young, too soon. Well, now she's living a life she never imagined for herself with an abusive husband and aimless existence. Oh, and her world's about to get so much worse. Tango's beautiful, isn't she? Well, get ready, 'cause you're about to meet some animals that aren't nearly as pretty. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Camille Gardner, in a bathrobe, finds Rhonda Temple in a red one-piece swimsuit, sitting outside in a lounge chair right next to a swimming pool]'' :'''Camille Gardner''': What the hell are you smiling about? :'''Rhonda Temple''': I'm just thinking about our future. :'''Camille''': ''[sits down right next to Rhonda]'' I guess you'll be thinking about our recent past. :'''Rhonda''': Why bother? What's done is done. ''[removes Camille's hair braid and strokes her hair]'' I'm looking to spend my future with you. :'''Camille''': Some woman came, asking for Eddie. :'''Rhonda''': So? :'''Camille''': I'm worried. She sounded like she was supposed to meet him here. If I were you, I'd be very concerned. :'''Rhonda''': Why? When you can worry for the both of us? That's what you're good at, right? :'''Camille''': You know, I should sit in the sun. :'''Rhonda''': What for, when you can go for a swim? ''[removes Camille's robe, revealing her in a green one-piece swimsuit]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[as a police detective]'' Mrs. Camille Gardner? Do you know what this is? Your house has been under surveillance for the past month. So you are under arrest for the murder of your husband. Now do not lie to us. Things will go a lot easier for you. Start by telling us where we can find Rhonda Temple. :'''Camille''': ''[referring to Rhonda Temple]'' If we're under surveillance for a month, how come you don't know where she is? I have no idea where she is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacey Rivers''': So why are you here? :'''Camille''': I killed my husband. Stabbed him in the chest six times. ===''The Clinic''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a doctor's uniform]'' Everyone wants to believe that they are going to live forever – that that tremor in their heart, the few extra pounds added over the holidays and the labored breathing after a morning run are all perfectly normal. ''[chuckles]'' But what happens when you find out they're not? What happens when you realize the life that you've been leading has an expiration date? What would you do to change that? Would you make the same choice that Logan Cale is about to make? And at what price? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': They say home is where the heart is, and unfortunately, for Logan Cale, this was all too true, proving you can truly buy anything for the right price. And if there's a moral to tonight's story and you find yourself sick and bedridden and might need to resort to desperate measures for a cure, I make this very humble suggestion: get a second opinion. ===''Till Death Do Us Part''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a one-piece swimsuit and sarong with a flower in her hair and a Hawaiian tropical drink in her hand]'' Aloha! I see you've met Rachel Worth. Poor thing. Can you believe it's her wedding day? Certainly not a very auspicious start. A bride needs something borrowed, something blue, but certainly not something dead. I guess the silver lining in all of this is the corpse is not the man she's planning to marry. But with her ceremony on a private beach near Waikiki looming in six hours, she best fix this little hiccup that's threatening her big day. ''[puts down her drink and walks up the steps to the top of a diving rock overlooking a swimming pool]'' Otherwise, there could very well be a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Till death do us part". ''[takes off her sarong, dives into the water and swims]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel Worth''': We have to postpone the wedding. :'''Cam''': No. :'''Rachel''': Cam, we have no choice. :'''Cam''': We're doing it. Just as we planned. Today. :'''Rachel''': Why? :'''Cam''': Because I have to be married by the time I'm 30. :'''Rachel''': Sweetie, no, you don't. :'''Cam''': When my grandmother died, she left me a $10 million trust fund. But there was a catch. She stipulated that I have to be married by my 30th birthday or I don't get the money. :'''Rachel''': But why would she do something like that? :'''Cam''': Gram was around long enough to see me go through my wild period. Let's just say she didn't exactly approve. She wanted me to settle down and make something of myself, which I did. Just after, she was gone. But there's still that clause in the will that I need to adhere to. :'''Rachel''': Why didn't you tell me? :'''Cam''': I was going to. I just... I didn't want you to think I was marrying you just so I can get my hands on the money. I'm marrying you because I love you, Rachel. :'''Sharon''': Okay, that's really sweet, but what I wanna know is, what happens to the money if you don't get married? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel''': Kim. Oh, my God. It was you. You hired the stripper. And you made my first drink. You spiked it, which is why I was so out of it and can't remember anything! And someone would've had to record it. You actually made moans to make it look like it was actually happening, like I was awake and I was enjoying it?! And you were gonna to email it to Cam so he'd call off the wedding. And you would be next in line for the trust fund. :'''Cam''': Kim, did you really murder this poor guy? :'''Kim''': Poor guy? Poor guy? Oh, come on, Cam. Get off your high horse. Poor guy. He was just some sleazy stripper. Anyways, it was his own fault. No one was supposed to get hurt. But the bastard got greedy. He demanded half of the money, threatened to expose me to you and Rachel. So I just agreed to shut him up. But come on. I wasn't just gonna hand over $5 million to some lame fireman. So I made him the special cocktail that I made Rachel, and I kept him busy until it took effect. And I could handle this problem once and for all. But it turned out to be a much better plan than I anticipated. Because cheating is one thing, but accidentally killing a trick while making love the night before your wedding? Well, there's just no way that Cam was ever gonna say "I do". Not to her. :'''Rachel''': No wonder you wanted to call the cops! You knew it looked bad for me. :'''Kim''': I did what I had to do! I mean, we're talking $10 million here! It's not fair! Okay? I was the good girl! I went to Nana's house every Sunday! I remembered her birthdays; he didn't! I was the one that got straight A's! I was the good girl! But the bitch left it all to him! Thought he could change! But it wasn't the money that changed him, Rachel. It was you. :'''Rachel''': Your little Frederick's of Hollywood number – was it preshrunk? :'''Kim''': No. :''[Rachel picks up a lemonade pitcher and dumps lemonade on Kim's head]'' :'''Rachel''': Worst maid of honor ever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[still in her one-piece swimsuit and refreshed from swimming, her hair wet and her hand gently stroking the water]'' It's been said it's bad luck for a bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. Although, after the day they've had, I don't blame Rachel or Cam for throwing caution to the wind. As for lessons learned, it's an age-old question for women: Do you marry for love or for money? ''[chuckles]'' Luckily, though, for Rachel Worth, today she doesn't have to choose. Mahalo. ===''Visions, Part 1''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a magician's costume]'' Mentalism is a performing art whose practitioners demonstrate highly developed mental and intuitive abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance and mind control. Foster Prentiss, the Amazing Mysterium, possesses no such skill. He is a complete and utter fraud. Unfortunately, there's nothing phony about murder. Foster will stop at nothing to get what he wants and must put on a performance of a lifetime. But maybe this time, the ruse is on him. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foster Prentiss hears a loud splash and he goes outside to investigate, only to find Jessica, in a black one-piece swimsuit, swimming in a pool]'' :'''Foster Prentiss''': Can I help you? :'''Jessica''': I think we can help each other. I hear you're looking for a new assistant. I've seen your act. You're very good. But you could be great with the right help. :'''Foster''': Yeah, I'm not looking for any help. Thank you. :'''Jessica''': I look fabulous in fishnets, and even better without them. Won't you consider letting me audition, or at least fetching me that towel? :''[Foster Prentiss laughs. Several minutes later, Jessica is seducing Prentiss in bed]'' :'''Jessica''': By the way, my name is Jessica. :'''Foster''': Pleased to meet you, Jessica. ''[laughs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foster Prentiss is stunned by the realization of what Violet MacReady did at the Cuesta Verde Hospital]'' :'''Foster''': I don't know how this can be happening to me! I saw her! I saw what she did and I saw her kill a guy! She knows that I know. She knows I know. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do now? ''[yells at the top of his lungs]'' You just tell me what– ''[Jessica strikes Foster in the face]'' Bloody hell! You hit me?! Jeez, are you crazy?!! :'''Jessica''': Calm the hell down! Nobody killed anybody. You didn't see anything. That was incredible! Whatever hell scam you're pulling is working! Did you see their faces out there? They're eating it up. :'''Foster''': Yeah – no, no, it wasn't a scam. What I felt out there was real. :'''Jessica''': Sure it was. But now... you gotta keep your eye on the prize. If we're gonna score any of that rich bitch's cash, she needs to believe that you can talk to her dead daughter. So get out there and finish the damn show. :'''Foster''': Okay, okay. Yeah, okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': So the man you apparently saw is Jay Roma. He started ''Crazy Chixx''. He was murdered a few months back, and his death was streamed on the Internet. :'''Foster''': Why is this happening to me, though? That's what I don't understand. :'''Jessica''': The other tart is Violet MacReady. She is a person of interest in two recent killings: one of a local, prestigious surgeon; the other – some two-bit gangbanger. :'''Foster''': You know, I never thought this was possible. Why have I been given such a powerful gift? :'''Jessica''': The question you should be asking yourself... is, how can we exploit it? :'''Foster''': Exploit it?! :'''Jessica''': Jeez! Do I have to spell everything out to you? Blackmail. You're already a fraud. What's another sin, or three? :'''Foster''': You don't believe me, do you? :'''Jessica''': ''[takes Foster's hand and holds it up to her face]'' Do you see anything interesting, swami? :'''Foster''': ''[after receiving visions of what Jessica recently did, finally realizes the truth]'' You killed your boyfriend, set him up and sold his organs for spare parts! :'''Jessica''': How did you...?! No one knows about that. :'''Foster''': I told you, the visions are real, Jessica. :'''Jessica''': You know what, Foster? I think we're gonna be really, really rich. ===''Visions, Part 2''=== :'''Foster Prentiss''': Firstly, of course, I would like to apologize for keeping you waiting so long. But I bet you're wondering what you're both doing here, right? :'''Violet MacReady''': No kidding, Sherlock. :'''Prentiss''': Well... you do have a temper on you, don't you? See, I invited you both here to give you a chance to move on with the rest of your life. :'''Tiffany''': I'm so gone. ''[starts to leave]'' :'''Jessica''': ''[stops Tiffany from leaving]'' Shut up and listen. :'''Prentiss''': Yeah, I think you should listen to her. Or, of course, I could just call the authorities and tell them about Jay Roma. :'''Tiffany''': Who? :'''Jessica''': Don't be coy, darling. The world may not miss a smut peddler like that, but it still won't get you off with the cops. ''[turns to Violet]'' And you, Violet. You're not as sweet and innocent as you look, are you? :'''Foster''': Ooh, someone messed with the wrong nurse. Eh, chica? :'''Violet''': How do you know all this? :'''Foster''': Because I'm the Amazing Mysterium! And I know all. :'''Violet''': What do you want with us, Mr. Amazing? :'''Foster''': What do I want? What could I possibly want? What could I want? How about... money! That's exactly what I want. :'''Violet''': Well, you better take another look into your crystal ball, because I'm not an ATM. I'm broke. :'''Tiffany''': And I'm still trying to pay off my student loans. :'''Violet''': So you've got the wrong chica, ese. :'''Foster''': ''[slams the table with his hand]'' Well, then you better find some money fast!! Both of you got 48 hours or the next time you sit down with somebody, it'll be with a public defender! ''[calms down]'' Why don't you just think about it a little bit, OK? Good afternoon, ladies. I hope you enjoy the show. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': We haven't formally met. Tiffany. :'''Violet''': Violet. :'''Tiffany''': You've got incredible eyes, Violet. :'''Violet''': Thanks. Nice dress, Wilma Flintstone. So, did you really kill that dirtbag Jay Roma? :'''Tiffany''': Yeah. :'''Violet''': Do you regret it? :'''Tiffany''': Not for a minute. :'''Violet''': I think we're going to get along swell. :'''Tiffany''': BFFs. :'''Violet''': Don't push it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': How'd you get this way? :'''Violet''': What way? :'''Tiffany''': You know what I'm talking about. We're one and the same, Violet. You weren't always like this. What happened? :'''Violet''': I had a really bad day. :'''Tiffany''': So, I've got a question, and you totally don't have to answer it if you don't want to. But what are you gonna do? :'''Lilith''': You are going to make Foster Prentiss pay for what he did. That is what you are going to do. :'''Violet''': I know you. :'''Tiffany''': Well, I don't. How'd you get in here? :'''Lilith''': I go by many names. But you can call me Lilith. :'''Tiffany''': Are you getting blackmailed, too? :'''Lilith''': No. But we have so much in common. :'''Violet''': We were all blessed with great hair? :'''Lilith''': Men in our pasts have wronged us. :'''Tiffany''': What's this all about? :'''Lilith''': It's very simple, actually. Foster Prentiss killed a girl once. And now you are going to kill Foster Prentiss. And in exchange for this task, you will never have to worry about anyone finding out your secrets again. You will be truly safe. And why the sad faces, girls? It's not like you haven't killed before. :'''Violet''': So, what's one more dead jerk, right? :'''Lilith''': Exactly. :'''Tiffany''': Why don't you kill him, then? :'''Lilith''': And not share the fun? ''[snaps her fingers and the doors open]'' Oh. You forgot to thank me for those tickets to the show. It's not like they arrived by magic, you know. Ta-ta! :'''Violet''': So what do we do now? :'''Tiffany''': I've got an idea, chica. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Anything? :'''Alexis''': The only thing I can tell you about Lilith is that according to Jewish folklore, she left her husband, Adam, after she refused to become subservient to him. Although... Dr. Holly Brown writes: "The demonization of Lilith was designed to keep women alienated from their own power and spiritual authority." Now that's what I call girl power. :'''Tiffany''': She was a demon? :'''Violet''': She's Jewish? :'''Alexis''': I don't know who this chick is, but it's obvious she knows way too much about us. :'''Tiffany''': Lilith isn't the problem. Foster Prentiss is. :'''Alexis''': Not for long. :'''Violet''': I don't usually go around killing random dudes without a really good reason. :'''Alexis''': The jerk threatened you. He's trying to extort you. He's obviously a total sleaze. What choice do you have? :'''Tiffany''': What choice do ''we'' have? :''[Alexis giggles]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Violet''': The human body can survive three to five days without water. Payback's a bitch. But dehydration is even worse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[in a magician's costume]'' Imagine being murdered with no one the wiser. Only a grieving mother that held out fruitless hope that you were still alive. Imagine what you would do to get revenge and rest in peace. Now just imagine. And wouldn't you know it? They also found another body buried in the grave. I wonder whose? ==Season 2== ===''16 Minutes of Fame''=== :'''Lilith''': Welcome to ''The Hot House'', where six celebrities with, shall we say, complicated histories live together in peace and harmony and resolve their issues like intelligent adults. Oh, that doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Perhaps rats on a sinking ship would be a much more accurate metaphor? Rats without access to cell phones or the Internet. No windows, and all the doors sealed shut, under lock and key, as it were. And we, the lucky viewers, get to watch them interact 24-7, as they try and figure out their, oh, so fascinating dilemmas. Unlike some other Reality TV shows, no one in this house was meant to get voted off. However, in the end, most of them did get eliminated. Where did it all go wrong? Perhaps we should start by meeting our housemates. Tina Hendricks. Famous for, well, being famous. Her father runs a movie studio, so she has access to all the A-list parties. Her line of face creams and body scrubs, Tina's Essence, was selling well, but her true claim to fame was – oh, you guessed it. A love tape. Lucky Starr. Cute, isn't he? With a velvet voice to go with that adorable face. Third runner up on ''Superstar USA''. Lucky's debut album dropped last Spring, then kept on dropping to the bottom of the charts. Rumor has it Lucky was the one who leaked his one-night stand with Tina online. A guy's gotta do what he can to stay in the public eye. Roger Reynolds, star of another popular reality show called ''The Catch''. Roger caused quite a scandal when he proposed to not one, but two women in the show's finale. And no, he's not Mormon, just indecisive. Roger was engaged again, three weeks later, to Tina. But they're no longer together. Bebe. No last name; just Bebe. She's our resident party girl. Mouthy, obnoxious, and rarely sober. In other words, a hero to millions with more Twitter followers than Charlie Sheen and Ashton K combined. And also the reason why Tina and Roger are no longer an item. Pecs, trainer to the stars and half of the world's passionate love story. The other half being himself. And there's a long waiting list for Pecs' services, known as Celebrity Boot Camp. Because he's known for his killer workout, bound to get any Hollywood starlet back in shape. And finally, Angel Tomlin, the serious actress. The artist with the single-minded goal to win an Oscar before she turns 30. She has a way to go. Her last credit was ''Eat and Run'', a direct-to-DVD zombie movie that you may have had the good fortune to miss. So she's a little bit anxious to up her game. And to do that, an actress's first priority must be getting back into tip-top shape. You got all that? Good. Because things are really starting to heat up in ''The Hot House''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Angel was right about one thing. Bebe is about to become more famous than ever, now that she has stolen Angel's juicy role as the lone survivor of a crazed killer. As for Angel, well, she's learned the difference between fame and infamy. Life is such a bitch that way. There's already a film about her in the works, and rumor has it Natalie Portman is ready to kill for the part. Perhaps she'll get another Oscar, or maybe that honor will go to her makeup artist. ===''Gun Twisted''=== :'''Lilith''': Guns have always had the power to arouse. They symbolize control, virility and gratification. They also go by many names. Maverick, Ice, Goose, Viper, Stinger, Slider, Tek and Heartbreaker. Loving a gun is a lot like loving a femme fatale. Both obsessions can lead you on a path to destruction. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bart''': A smart criminal sees the world a whole lot different than regular people. When I'm casing a joint, time slows down so much, it's like everything and everyone comes to a stop. Everything was just like you said, Laurie. The manager hires cute tellers. A good thing. Lookers don't risk getting killed. And the late afternoon guard is a gut-bucket slob. I'll bet you anything that loser never even practices with that cheap jack pistol they gave him. We can go out the rear exit and be in the alley in seconds. Standard issue digital camera with typical low resolution. So we can get away with simple disguises. And I saw your best pal, Sarah. And she's got "bitch" written all over her. All over her. ===''Trophy Wife''=== :'''Lilith''': Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when that woman is about to be replaced by a younger, deadlier version of herself. And for all the Botox, liposuction and skin treatments a desperate housewife could buy, money cannot turn back the clock. It is the inevitable, inexorable passage of time that changes the rules. So now, Veronica's playing a new game, a game of survival, a game that I call "Trophy Wife". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Well, it looks like some scorned women aren't that furious after all. This one's for the first wives, for those women with the experience and the imagination younger women cannot even begin to know. For those women who know that love attraction isn't only to be found in soft, supple, young lips, smooth legs and perfectly sculpted bodies, but in the mind, in the psyche, in the darkest depths of your soul. As for Veronica and Gil, it really is one of nature's majestic wonders that two people, unique in their romantic depravity, have found one another, because after all, even psychopaths need love. ===''Extracurricular Activities''=== :'''Lilith''': When you're having an affair with another woman's husband, it's usually best not to do it directly under her nose. Institutions of higher learning have always been a hotbed of love activity. Teachers with teachers, students with students and the perennial favorite – teachers with students. Professor Kelsey Williams is about to discover that when you toy with an impressionable mind to get what you want, sometimes it proves impossible to stick to the lesson plan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Professor Williams, do you have a moment? I'd like to run my paper topic by you. I've decided to write about Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey Williams''': Why? :'''Tiffany''': Well, I can't really think of a stronger woman than Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey''': Please. She was insane. She heard voices in her head, and was burned at the stake at 16. If you want to write about a strong woman, find someone who used their brains to get what they wanted. Someone like... Cleopatra. :'''Tiffany''': But Cleopatra didn't use her brains. She used love to get men to do her bidding. She's far less noble than Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey''': That's where you're wrong. Women throughout history have had to use whatever resources were available to take matters into their own hands and get what they wanted. Men have muscles; women have their loving personality. Cleopatra looked at her options at the time and did what she had to do. And that took brains. :'''Tiffany''': I never thought of it that way. :'''Kelsey''': Well, there's a lot that I could teach you. :'''Tiffany''': By the way, that's a lovely scent you're wearing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vera Rutledge''': I just can't tell you how disappointed I am in you both. The two of you have always been campus leaders. Right now, I'm dealing with overcrowded classrooms, tuition increases and the Cuesta Verde Conquistadors are going 0 for 12 this year. The last thing I need on my plate is a sorority love tape scandal. Girls! I can't get involved with this right now! :'''Alexis''': We are so mortified, Dean Rutledge. :'''Tiffany''': Don't worry. We'll take care of it. :'''Vera''': Good. Now, I trust you ladies will handle this with the high standards that I've instilled in you in the last four years. :'''Tiffany''': Of course. :'''Vera''': Now, if you'll excuse me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kelsey Williams''': Dean Rutledge? :'''Vera Rutledge''': Kelsey! :'''Kelsey''': I got your message. :'''Vera''': Yes, I wanted to have a word with you. I wanted you to know that we've zeroed in on November 21st for the career fair, and I'm looking for volunteers to help coordinate the event. :'''Kelsey''': Well, you can count on me. :'''Vera''': Good. :'''Kelsey''': Is there... anything else? :'''Vera''': No. That'll be all. ''[Kelsey starts to walk away]'' There is... one more thing. ''[Kelsey turns around and faces Vera]'' I want you to stop screwing my husband. :'''Kelsey''': I don't know what you mean. :'''Vera''': Let's... not do this, shall we? I know it's you. I'm not surprised. Jake always had a thing for the sleazy sorority type. And you certainly fit the bill. Flouncing around campus like a ridiculous harlot with a penchant for cheap perfume. :'''Kelsey''': You know, I don't have to take that from you. :'''Vera''': Yes, you do. Because you know I have it in my power to destroy you, and I will... with pleasure if I even get a hint that you are still seeing my husband behind my back. Trust me, you won't be able to get a job teaching kids how to tie their shoes. Are we clear? Walk away, Kelsey. There's not a man around as far as I can see. Don't make me speak to you again. ''[turns around and walks away from Kelsey]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Hi, Professor Williams. :'''Kelsey Williams''': What's happening? :'''Tiffany''': ''[referring to Jake Rutledge]'' Oh, you didn't hear? They found evidence connecting him to his wife's murder. :'''Kelsey''': What evidence? :'''Tiffany''': The murder weapon. It was one of those night sticks that security guards use. They found traces of the Dean's blood, and the Professor's prints were all over it. :'''Kelsey''': That's impossible. :'''Tiffany''': He got it at Walmart. Security camera footage showed him buying it just days before the murder. Funny. He doesn't look like a murderer to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Feminine wiles can be a tricky thing. When a woman uses love to get what she wants, she can easily turn a love-struck man into a dangerous weapon. Problem is, like any weapon, sometimes it can be turned against us. Unfortunately for Professor Kelsey Williams, she taught Chaz everything she knows. ===''Killer Instinct''=== :'''Lilith''': Davis Bennett just discovered that lethal things often come in pretty packages. But the lesson cost him his life. In this case, looks really can kill. As for Lauren Coleston, well, she's also about to learn something, which is that the life of a professional assassin is just as much about receiving pain as it is about dispensing it. ===''Bad Science''=== :'''Lilith''': We look in mirrors every day. The reflection back shows us what other people see. But it takes more than a mirror to see inside our souls. Matilda West has always been a force of nature, the type of woman who'll never back down from a challenge or take no for an answer. A woman who'll do almost anything to survive. But even someone as beautiful and brilliant and tough as Matilda will eventually meet her match in this world or the other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dark Matilda West''': If everyone here is as naive as the three of you... in a few years, I'm gonna be running this dimension. ''[chuckles]'' ===''Family Business''=== :'''Lilith''': It was once said that love means never having to say that you're sorry. Apparently, the copywriter that coined the trite phrase has never actually been in love. For in fact, anyone who's ever been in love knows love means always having to say that you're sorry. Devlin Grant is a man who's about to be sorrier than he ever dreamed, and get more than he bargained for, in a battle in which the spoils of victory may very well be his own soul. ===''Jail Break''=== :'''Lilith''': Remember Rafe Daniels? He works as a prison guard at the Cuesta Verde women's penitentiary. Most of the guards there have a reputation worse than the inmates they're supposed to be watching. But not Rafe. No; Rafe has a warm heart and a burning desire for true love. Unfortunately, it's hard to meet a girl you can take home to mother, when you work in a prison. It's definitely not a singles mixer. And the last time Rafe tried romancing a girl at work, well, let's just say he wound up with a real backstabber. One would've thought, after all that drama, Rafe would've learned his lesson. Oh, but it's not easy to ignore what the heart wants. And given all the evidence, stolen money, a gun, and at least one very dead body, well, one might assume that he is under the spell of yet another femme fatale. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rafe Daniels''': Dear Warden Jefferies, it has been an honor working for you at the Cuesta Verde Women's Correctional Facility for the last four years. However, recent events have taken such an emotional toll on me; I have decided it would be in my best interest to take a break from this line of work, at least temporarily. So it is with a heavy heart that I submit this letter of resignation, effective immediately. I will always have the utmost respect for you, sir, and wish you and your family only the best. Sincerely, Rafe Daniels. ===''Crazy Mary''=== :'''Lilith''': Poor Mary Mason. She's just can't seem to catch a break. All she wants is her old life back. With a happy home and a man that loves her and keep her safe and warm. Oh, but there is no safety when you're a lamb in a den full of wolves. Especially when everybody thinks that you're crazy. You may think things couldn't get any worse for our little daydreamer. Well, that's where you'd be wrong. Here at the Cuesta Verde Institute for the criminally insane, things are about to get, for the lack of a better word, a little nuts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Looks like Crazy Mary's adventures are just beginning. If you should ever happen to cross her path, I suggest you be very, very nice to her. ===''One Man's Death''=== :'''Lilith''': Todd Voight is a very lucky man. Successful, handsome and loved by two beautiful women. But tonight his luck runs out. He leaves two women mourning his death and discovering his secrets. All of his secrets. ===''Hell Hath No Furies''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a Christmas outfit]'' It looks like Lydia Gonzales's pleas for mercy have gone unheeded. Lydia did try and warn the judge that El Jefe could reach her, no matter where she would hide, and now, her warning is about to be proven all too true. It appears that Lydia Gonzales and the men and women of Cuesta Verde Precinct 13 are about to have a very, very bad Christmas. ''[chuckles]'' ===''Libra''=== :'''Lilith''': It could be argued that there is a fine line between fantasy and reality. Dimitri Uzi Olesky just won his war against the Ryan mob. Oh, and he paid a very heavy price to do it. But all's fair in love and war, and for now, he is the undisputed crime boss of Cuesta Verde. Ironically, boss Olesky will pay for his sins, but retribution will come from a place he least expects it, for in the end, the scales of justice always tip one way or another. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max Bailey''': Where am I, lady? :'''Libra''': The name's not "Lady". It's Libra. :'''Max''': Okay, nice to meet you, um... Libra. My name is Max– :'''Libra''': Max Bailey. I know. I've had Olesky's place under surveillance for weeks. :'''Max''': Are you a cop? :'''Libra''': You never know. But mostly just a concerned citizen. Same as you. :'''Max''': That's the first time anyone's ever called me that. :'''Libra''': Your father worked for Olesky. They were partners until Olesky cut him out of the business. When your father started to talk, Olesky had him killed. ''[removes her mask]'' You want revenge...just like I do. But instead of wearing a mask, you're helping the police. You're looking for Olesky's mole in Special Investigations. :'''Max''': Yeah; Do you know who that is? :'''Libra''': ''[removes her utility belt and drops it on the floor]'' Not yet. :'''Max''': Look, I need to report in. Tomorrow night Olesky's having a sit-down with the other bosses. :'''Libra''': That's right. ''[removes her evening gloves]'' I plan on being there. :'''Max''': Who are you? I mean, nobody names their kid "Libra". :'''Libra''': We're on the same team, Max. We just wear different uniforms. ''[stares Max in the face]'' Do I frighten you? :'''Max''': Isn't that the idea? :'''Libra''': There's a reason you should be frightened of me. ''[removes her costume and reveals her body to Max]'' Before, I was just a woman. But gangsters aren't scared by women. They use them, exploit them, manipulate them. But Libra... she's a symbol. Someone that they can't bribe, scare or seduce. And the scales of justice always tip in Libra's favor. But right now, I'm not Libra. I'm just a woman. :'''Max''': You're beautiful. :'''Libra''': Thank you, Max Bailey. ''[kisses Max on the lips]'' So what do you know about Libras? Hmm? :'''Max''': Ask me later. :'''Libra''': Uh-huh. :'''Max''': I'm still learning. :'''Libra''': Yeah? Well... for one, we loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity. But we believe in compassion and compromise. :'''Max''': Doesn't sound like you. :'''Libra''': You know what else? We like to be touched. :'''Max''': Oh. :'''Libra''': That leg isn't gonna give you trouble now, is it? :'''Max''': No, I'll manage. :'''Libra''': That's what I thought. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': You thought I wouldn't know where you were going? :'''Libra''': You shouldn't be here. :'''Max''': Neither should you. Being anywhere near Olesky right now is a very bad idea. :'''Libra''': Yeah, and you need to let me be. Let me take him down. :'''Max''': Are you trying to get yourself killed? You try and get in there, and you're dead. Libra is a fictional comic book character. Somehow, I don't think the author based his stories on your real-life exploits. You're not Libra. :'''Libra''': He let my mother die. Some kidnappers took her for some easy score. They tried to ransom her back. $5 million. They wanted $5 million. Pocket change for my father. He told them to go screw themselves. Refused to pay a dime. Cops found her a couple of days later – raped and mutilated. We had to have a closed casket. He didn't even come to the funeral – too busy seducing one of his harlots. :'''Max''': You're Anya Olesky? :'''Libra''': No. I'm Libra. And these streets are mine. And tonight Dimitri Olesky will pay for the blood that he has spilled. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angel Tomlin''': The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]], [[Hamlet#Act II|''Hamlet'', Act II]]. We are going to take this to Broadway. ''Shakespeare Undressed''. And then... I'd like to thank the Academy. It is such an honor to accept this award on behalf of everyone involved in ''Shakespeare Undressed''. I am especially indebted to [[w:Patrick Stewart|Sir Patrick Stewart]] for his guidance and his support. Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': Well, you got your revenge. I guess we both did. Now what? :'''Libra''': It's not about us anymore. There's a lot of people suffering in Cuesta Verde. People who have no one to help them. Cuesta Verde needs a symbol. A champion for the oppressed. :'''Max''': You know anyone for the job? :'''Libra''': I might. :'''Max''': That was a rhetorical question. :'''Libra''': I can't do this all by myself. I need a Robin. :'''Max''': A Robin? Your very own Boy Wonder? I don't think so. :'''Libra''': Ah, come on. You'd look hot in tights. :'''Max''': We'll see, Anya. :'''Libra''': The name's Libra, and these streets are mine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': We all wear masks – sometimes for fun and other times for disguise or protection. Some masks are steel. Some are satin. Some are silk, and some are leather. They're the faces of a stranger, but we love to try them on. Hopefully, you'll find one that is a perfect fit. Anya Olesky did. ==Cast== ===Main Cast=== * [[w:Tanit Phoenix|Tanit Phoenix]] – Lilith ===Notable Guest Stars=== * Ariauna Albright as Dream Woman * Ana Alexander as Camille Gardner * [[w:Sadie Alexandru|Sadie Alexandru]] as Janelle * [[Crystal Allen]] as Rhonda Temple * [[w:Mark A.

What's a spoiled young Hollywood actress to do when thrown into the tank with all those sharks? Those are just the prison guards. No, Lacey Rivers is going to have to rely on her one skill she can count on – her acting. You don't get $5 million a picture without any talent. Behind these locked doors, our little Lacey is about to give the performance of her life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Watch any Lacey Rivers movie, and you will always be treated to a happy ending. Well, poor Lacey. She's about to discover that real life rarely turns out like a G-rated family film. Karma can be such a bitch. ===''Bad Medicine''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a nurse's uniform]'' All superheroes have a story of origin, from an awkward teenager that's bitten by a radioactive spider, a daring test pilot that's bestowed a very powerful ring, an alien from the planet Krypton that crash-lands on Earth. A femme fatale, you see, well, she's cut from similar cloth. Some women are born to be empowered and dangerous and they embrace it according to their nature. Well, the essence of a femme fatale may be lying dormant, just waiting for fate to see her free. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[still in her nurse's uniform]'' It looks like Greg is in for an electrifying experience. And as for our sweet Nurse Violet, she's blossomed into quite a woman – a newly-minted femme fatale in control of her own destiny and administering her own dose of bad medicine. ===''Something Like Murder''=== :'''Lilith''': Whenever you find a rich man, you are bound to find a gold-digger waiting to take him for everything he's got. Well, tonight, somewhere in these Hollywood hills, this gold-digger really was using a shovel. It's been said the taste of evil smells like honeysuckle. I wouldn't argue with that, but tonight, there is a distinct smell in the air and it smells like murder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Poor Darla. She thought she'd planned the perfect murder, but greed makes suckers of all of us. There is no easy way to make money in this economy. Unless, of course, you're Elena Machado, a hard-working cleaning woman, who just got a very, very big severance package. I guess it's safe to say she won't be coming to work on Monday. ===''Speed Date''=== :'''Kevin Freeman''': I like a woman who knows herself. Confidence is beauty. There's nothing lovelier than a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. An independent woman, with a spry personality and an old soul. That's the one for me. I'm Troy. When I'm in the outdoors, it's about freedom. I read. Losing myself in the pages of a good book is pure nirvana. Like an hour-long bubble bath, with bath bombs from bliss. My best friends are Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Without them, I am lost. Simply put: their music is the soundtrack of my life. Yeah, I know I'm good-looking, but that's not worth a hill of beans unless you find the right girl to spend life's special moments with. And let me tell you: In this town, it's been tough to find that special someone. If you're confident, if you're independent, if you're open-minded, passionate, genuine, creative, funny... if you think you're her, and you think we'll click, please, contact me. DocTroy77. Thank you, Doctor Troy. Ladies, all of our lines are open. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': We all tell little white lies. We lie about our height, our weight, where we've been and where we're going. And tonight, video game developer Kevin Freeman is about to discover that when his fantasy turns into reality, honesty, in fact, may be the best policy as his little white lies get him into a world of trouble. ===''The White Flower''=== :'''Lilith''': Money. It's been said it is the root of all evil. Well, tonight, in this seedy motel room, two men are about to find out that it's the devil's honest truth – that when the fickle finger of fate points in your direction, the most innocuous omen may be the harbinger of doom, and it may come in the most enticing package with a heart that beats of pure deceit. So tonight, I bequeath to you "The White Flower". ===''Girls Gone Dead''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a school uniform]'' Psychologists believe that the brain doesn't stop maturing until we're well into our twenties. So what does that mean for a girl who's turned 18? Legally, she's an adult, yet she still has a brain that's... well, let's just say a brain that's not fully cooked. ''[giggles]'' I guess that's why you can say we go away to college. It's like an incubator. A place to keep our bodies safe and our brains baking. Until we're able to make informed intelligent choices. But what happens when our bodies are ready, willing and able, yet our minds are not mature enough to make these right decisions, especially when faced with a friendly smile and irresistible temptations like... a T-shirt, or worse, plastic beads? You can't expect a girl, whose body that's trying to catch up to its brain, to understand concepts like consequences, particularly with a little booze involved, and some soft light and a charming man with a camera. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay Roma''': I guarantee there is not a hotter party in the world and no place I'd rather be than right here with the girls of Theta Alpha Nu! Ten smoking hot coeds and yours truly! I got a feeling we're gonna see some truly ''Crazy Chixx''! Let's find out just how crazy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': I have a strict policy; I don't... participate. :'''Alexis''': Why not? :'''Jay''': I built my brand on ''Crazy Chixx'', not on some dirtbag trying to get with them. :'''Tiffany''': You've never been in one of your videos? :'''Jay''': No. Never. It would ruin my reputation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kip''': Nobody lives here. :'''Erida''': Of course we live here; it's our sorority house. :'''Kip''': This is no sorority. Nobody lives here... and that's water! :'''Erida''': Water is the source of all life. :'''Kip''': Why are all the vodka bottles filled with water?! :'''Erida''': We don't wanna be drunk for this. :'''Kip''': Who are you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Where the hell is Kip? :'''Erida''': My fault. Sorry. :'''Jay''': Well, where the hell is he? :'''Erida''': Let's just say his willpower lost this time. :'''Jay''': Kip, you're fired!! :'''Erida''': Don't blame him! He couldn't resist. :'''Jay''': Well, what happened? What'd you do? Jeez! He knows better! To hell with him. You know how to work this thing? :'''Emily''': Hell, yeah. :'''Jay''': Good. Come on! I wanna make this lousy bastard sorry. :'''Tiffany''': We have just the thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Uh, all right, look, this is getting kinda dangerous. Tiffany? :'''Tiffany''': I'm getting kind of used to that name. It's got a nice ring to it. My real name is Jessica. But you wouldn't remember that, would you, Jay? Tiffany, well... it's just a variation of a Greek name. Tisiphone. She was a goddess... the goddess of vengeance. :'''Jay''': All right, uh... Kip!! :'''Tiffany''': But I thought you wanted to meet Caroline. :'''Jay''': Screw Caroline! :'''Tiffany''': You already did!! You got me and Caroline drunk. Really drunk. Then you gave us some money. And then you ruined our lives! We had to drop out of school, change our names, and no matter where we moved or what we did, we could not get away from what we did for you! Of course, I handled it a lot better than she did. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kip''': I know you. Your name's not Erida, is it? :'''Erida''': Very good, Kip. I'm gonna give you a little lesson in Greek mythology. You see, Erida was a Greek goddess... the goddess of hate. She could only be appeased once blood was spilled. :'''Kip''': What are you gonna do? :'''Erida''': Isn't it obvious? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alexis''': By the way, I'm Ashley. When you filmed me, that was my name. :'''Tiffany''': It was her brilliant idea to use Greek names. :'''Alexis''': Alexis, from the Greek name Alecto. :'''Erida''': The goddess of unresting. :'''Alexis''': I haven't rested since I met you, Jay. :'''Erida''': Ash graduated magna cum laude in Ancient Greek. She's a member of Mensa, bonehead. :'''Alexis''': I have a feeling I'll rest tonight. :'''Jay''': What do you want?! What do you want?!! :'''Erida''': Isn't it obvious? :'''Tiffany''': We all appeared in your videos. Now it's your turn to be in ours. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Okay. All right. I know what you're doing, you dumb bitches! You think you're gonna embarrass me?! You think you're gonna film me and make me look like an idiot and ruin my reputation?! When I get out of here, you're gonna be dead! To hell with you, and to hell with your harlot friend Caroline! :'''Emily''': And to think I had second thoughts about this. :'''Tiffany''': I told you it would be worth it. :'''Jay''': I'm gonna sue you! I oughta sue you for everything you've got! You wanna film me?! You wanna film me? Go ahead and film me, you stupid harlots! :'''Tiffany''': Come on. Let's go upstairs and clean up. :'''Jay''': Wait! :'''Tiffany''': Congrats, Jay. This will definitely be your biggest hit ever. :'''Jay''': Where are you going? Hey. Hey, come back here! No! Come back! Please! Hey! Come back...! ''[coughs and chokes]'' Hey! Help! Help! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[giggles]'' Luckily, most people can't speak Greek. If Kip or Jay did, they may recognize that Theta Alpha Nu are the first three letters of the word Thanatos. That's Greek for death. Clever girls. Jay Roma. Made his first million at the age of 25. Made his first hundred million by the age of 32. But by 35, 20 million hits on his very last video. I guess these chicks are crazier than what he ever dreamed. And as the Greeks say – Kali nichta. Good night. ===''Haunted''=== :'''Lilith''': Five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a swimming pool and a bonus guest house. This house would be a real steal, if it weren't haunted. But how could you prove that? Or disprove it? And would you live in a house with that kind of storied reputation? Would you even spend one night? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Do you believe in ghosts or demons? Do you think it's possible for them to enter our world? Maybe the next time you meet a girl that seems too good to be true, she may very well be the ultimate femme fatale. ''[slowly fades away into thin air]'' ===''Angel & Demons''=== :'''Lilith''': The animal kingdom is a fiercely violent domain. Animals kill for food, for territory and for survival. But there is one animal that's known to kill for pleasure – man. We live in a world populated by angels and demons. You're about to meet both. ===''Help Me, Rhonda''=== :'''Lilith''': You all know Camille Gardner – a beautiful woman who, like so many, got married too young, too soon. Well, now she's living a life she never imagined for herself with an abusive husband and aimless existence. Oh, and her world's about to get so much worse. Tango's beautiful, isn't she? Well, get ready, 'cause you're about to meet some animals that aren't nearly as pretty. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Camille Gardner, in a bathrobe, finds Rhonda Temple in a red one-piece swimsuit, sitting outside in a lounge chair right next to a swimming pool]'' :'''Camille Gardner''': What the hell are you smiling about? :'''Rhonda Temple''': I'm just thinking about our future. :'''Camille''': ''[sits down right next to Rhonda]'' I guess you'll be thinking about our recent past. :'''Rhonda''': Why bother? What's done is done. ''[removes Camille's hair braid and strokes her hair]'' I'm looking to spend my future with you. :'''Camille''': Some woman came, asking for Eddie. :'''Rhonda''': So? :'''Camille''': I'm worried. She sounded like she was supposed to meet him here. If I were you, I'd be very concerned. :'''Rhonda''': Why? When you can worry for the both of us? That's what you're good at, right? :'''Camille''': You know, I should sit in the sun. :'''Rhonda''': What for, when you can go for a swim? ''[removes Camille's robe, revealing her in a green one-piece swimsuit]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[as a police detective]'' Mrs. Camille Gardner? Do you know what this is? Your house has been under surveillance for the past month. So you are under arrest for the murder of your husband. Now do not lie to us. Things will go a lot easier for you. Start by telling us where we can find Rhonda Temple. :'''Camille''': ''[referring to Rhonda Temple]'' If we're under surveillance for a month, how come you don't know where she is? I have no idea where she is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacey Rivers''': So why are you here? :'''Camille''': I killed my husband. Stabbed him in the chest six times. ===''The Clinic''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a doctor's uniform]'' Everyone wants to believe that they are going to live forever – that that tremor in their heart, the few extra pounds added over the holidays and the labored breathing after a morning run are all perfectly normal. ''[chuckles]'' But what happens when you find out they're not? What happens when you realize the life that you've been leading has an expiration date? What would you do to change that? Would you make the same choice that Logan Cale is about to make? And at what price? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': They say home is where the heart is, and unfortunately, for Logan Cale, this was all too true, proving you can truly buy anything for the right price. And if there's a moral to tonight's story and you find yourself sick and bedridden and might need to resort to desperate measures for a cure, I make this very humble suggestion: get a second opinion. ===''Till Death Do Us Part''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a one-piece swimsuit and sarong with a flower in her hair and a Hawaiian tropical drink in her hand]'' Aloha! I see you've met Rachel Worth. Poor thing. Can you believe it's her wedding day? Certainly not a very auspicious start. A bride needs something borrowed, something blue, but certainly not something dead. I guess the silver lining in all of this is the corpse is not the man she's planning to marry. But with her ceremony on a private beach near Waikiki looming in six hours, she best fix this little hiccup that's threatening her big day. ''[puts down her drink and walks up the steps to the top of a diving rock overlooking a swimming pool]'' Otherwise, there could very well be a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Till death do us part". ''[takes off her sarong, dives into the water and swims]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel Worth''': We have to postpone the wedding. :'''Cam''': No. :'''Rachel''': Cam, we have no choice. :'''Cam''': We're doing it. Just as we planned. Today. :'''Rachel''': Why? :'''Cam''': Because I have to be married by the time I'm 30. :'''Rachel''': Sweetie, no, you don't. :'''Cam''': When my grandmother died, she left me a $10 million trust fund. But there was a catch. She stipulated that I have to be married by my 30th birthday or I don't get the money. :'''Rachel''': But why would she do something like that? :'''Cam''': Gram was around long enough to see me go through my wild period. Let's just say she didn't exactly approve. She wanted me to settle down and make something of myself, which I did. Just after, she was gone. But there's still that clause in the will that I need to adhere to. :'''Rachel''': Why didn't you tell me? :'''Cam''': I was going to. I just... I didn't want you to think I was marrying you just so I can get my hands on the money. I'm marrying you because I love you, Rachel. :'''Sharon''': Okay, that's really sweet, but what I wanna know is, what happens to the money if you don't get married? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel''': Kim. Oh, my God. It was you. You hired the stripper. And you made my first drink. You spiked it, which is why I was so out of it and can't remember anything! And someone would've had to record it. You actually made moans to make it look like it was actually happening, like I was awake and I was enjoying it?! And you were gonna to email it to Cam so he'd call off the wedding. And you would be next in line for the trust fund. :'''Cam''': Kim, did you really murder this poor guy? :'''Kim''': Poor guy? Poor guy? Oh, come on, Cam. Get off your high horse. Poor guy. He was just some sleazy stripper. Anyways, it was his own fault. No one was supposed to get hurt. But the bastard got greedy. He demanded half of the money, threatened to expose me to you and Rachel. So I just agreed to shut him up. But come on. I wasn't just gonna hand over $5 million to some lame fireman. So I made him the special cocktail that I made Rachel, and I kept him busy until it took effect. And I could handle this problem once and for all. But it turned out to be a much better plan than I anticipated. Because cheating is one thing, but accidentally killing a trick while making love the night before your wedding? Well, there's just no way that Cam was ever gonna say "I do". Not to her. :'''Rachel''': No wonder you wanted to call the cops! You knew it looked bad for me. :'''Kim''': I did what I had to do! I mean, we're talking $10 million here! It's not fair! Okay? I was the good girl! I went to Nana's house every Sunday! I remembered her birthdays; he didn't! I was the one that got straight A's! I was the good girl! But the bitch left it all to him! Thought he could change! But it wasn't the money that changed him, Rachel. It was you. :'''Rachel''': Your little Frederick's of Hollywood number – was it preshrunk? :'''Kim''': No. :''[Rachel picks up a lemonade pitcher and dumps lemonade on Kim's head]'' :'''Rachel''': Worst maid of honor ever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[still in her one-piece swimsuit and refreshed from swimming, her hair wet and her hand gently stroking the water]'' It's been said it's bad luck for a bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. Although, after the day they've had, I don't blame Rachel or Cam for throwing caution to the wind. As for lessons learned, it's an age-old question for women: Do you marry for love or for money? ''[chuckles]'' Luckily, though, for Rachel Worth, today she doesn't have to choose. Mahalo. ===''Visions, Part 1''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a magician's costume]'' Mentalism is a performing art whose practitioners demonstrate highly developed mental and intuitive abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance and mind control. Foster Prentiss, the Amazing Mysterium, possesses no such skill. He is a complete and utter fraud. Unfortunately, there's nothing phony about murder. Foster will stop at nothing to get what he wants and must put on a performance of a lifetime. But maybe this time, the ruse is on him. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foster Prentiss hears a loud splash and he goes outside to investigate, only to find Jessica, in a black one-piece swimsuit, swimming in a pool]'' :'''Foster Prentiss''': Can I help you? :'''Jessica''': I think we can help each other. I hear you're looking for a new assistant. I've seen your act. You're very good. But you could be great with the right help. :'''Foster''': Yeah, I'm not looking for any help. Thank you. :'''Jessica''': I look fabulous in fishnets, and even better without them. Won't you consider letting me audition, or at least fetching me that towel? :''[Foster Prentiss laughs. Several minutes later, Jessica is seducing Prentiss in bed]'' :'''Jessica''': By the way, my name is Jessica. :'''Foster''': Pleased to meet you, Jessica. ''[laughs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foster Prentiss is stunned by the realization of what Violet MacReady did at the Cuesta Verde Hospital]'' :'''Foster''': I don't know how this can be happening to me! I saw her! I saw what she did and I saw her kill a guy! She knows that I know. She knows I know. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do now? ''[yells at the top of his lungs]'' You just tell me what– ''[Jessica strikes Foster in the face]'' Bloody hell! You hit me?! Jeez, are you crazy?!! :'''Jessica''': Calm the hell down! Nobody killed anybody. You didn't see anything. That was incredible! Whatever hell scam you're pulling is working! Did you see their faces out there? They're eating it up. :'''Foster''': Yeah – no, no, it wasn't a scam. What I felt out there was real. :'''Jessica''': Sure it was. But now... you gotta keep your eye on the prize. If we're gonna score any of that rich bitch's cash, she needs to believe that you can talk to her dead daughter. So get out there and finish the damn show. :'''Foster''': Okay, okay. Yeah, okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': So the man you apparently saw is Jay Roma. He started ''Crazy Chixx''. He was murdered a few months back, and his death was streamed on the Internet. :'''Foster''': Why is this happening to me, though? That's what I don't understand. :'''Jessica''': The other tart is Violet MacReady. She is a person of interest in two recent killings: one of a local, prestigious surgeon; the other – some two-bit gangbanger. :'''Foster''': You know, I never thought this was possible. Why have I been given such a powerful gift? :'''Jessica''': The question you should be asking yourself... is, how can we exploit it? :'''Foster''': Exploit it?! :'''Jessica''': Jeez! Do I have to spell everything out to you? Blackmail. You're already a fraud. What's another sin, or three? :'''Foster''': You don't believe me, do you? :'''Jessica''': ''[takes Foster's hand and holds it up to her face]'' Do you see anything interesting, swami? :'''Foster''': ''[after receiving visions of what Jessica recently did, finally realizes the truth]'' You killed your boyfriend, set him up and sold his organs for spare parts! :'''Jessica''': How did you...?! No one knows about that. :'''Foster''': I told you, the visions are real, Jessica. :'''Jessica''': You know what, Foster? I think we're gonna be really, really rich. ===''Visions, Part 2''=== :'''Foster Prentiss''': Firstly, of course, I would like to apologize for keeping you waiting so long. But I bet you're wondering what you're both doing here, right? :'''Violet MacReady''': No kidding, Sherlock. :'''Prentiss''': Well... you do have a temper on you, don't you? See, I invited you both here to give you a chance to move on with the rest of your life. :'''Tiffany''': I'm so gone. ''[starts to leave]'' :'''Jessica''': ''[stops Tiffany from leaving]'' Shut up and listen. :'''Prentiss''': Yeah, I think you should listen to her. Or, of course, I could just call the authorities and tell them about Jay Roma. :'''Tiffany''': Who? :'''Jessica''': Don't be coy, darling. The world may not miss a smut peddler like that, but it still won't get you off with the cops. ''[turns to Violet]'' And you, Violet. You're not as sweet and innocent as you look, are you? :'''Foster''': Ooh, someone messed with the wrong nurse. Eh, chica? :'''Violet''': How do you know all this? :'''Foster''': Because I'm the Amazing Mysterium! And I know all. :'''Violet''': What do you want with us, Mr. Amazing? :'''Foster''': What do I want? What could I possibly want? What could I want? How about... money! That's exactly what I want. :'''Violet''': Well, you better take another look into your crystal ball, because I'm not an ATM. I'm broke. :'''Tiffany''': And I'm still trying to pay off my student loans. :'''Violet''': So you've got the wrong chica, ese. :'''Foster''': ''[slams the table with his hand]'' Well, then you better find some money fast!! Both of you got 48 hours or the next time you sit down with somebody, it'll be with a public defender! ''[calms down]'' Why don't you just think about it a little bit, OK? Good afternoon, ladies. I hope you enjoy the show. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': We haven't formally met. Tiffany. :'''Violet''': Violet. :'''Tiffany''': You've got incredible eyes, Violet. :'''Violet''': Thanks. Nice dress, Wilma Flintstone. So, did you really kill that dirtbag Jay Roma? :'''Tiffany''': Yeah. :'''Violet''': Do you regret it? :'''Tiffany''': Not for a minute. :'''Violet''': I think we're going to get along swell. :'''Tiffany''': BFFs. :'''Violet''': Don't push it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': How'd you get this way? :'''Violet''': What way? :'''Tiffany''': You know what I'm talking about. We're one and the same, Violet. You weren't always like this. What happened? :'''Violet''': I had a really bad day. :'''Tiffany''': So, I've got a question, and you totally don't have to answer it if you don't want to. But what are you gonna do? :'''Lilith''': You are going to make Foster Prentiss pay for what he did. That is what you are going to do. :'''Violet''': I know you. :'''Tiffany''': Well, I don't. How'd you get in here? :'''Lilith''': I go by many names. But you can call me Lilith. :'''Tiffany''': Are you getting blackmailed, too? :'''Lilith''': No. But we have so much in common. :'''Violet''': We were all blessed with great hair? :'''Lilith''': Men in our pasts have wronged us. :'''Tiffany''': What's this all about? :'''Lilith''': It's very simple, actually. Foster Prentiss killed a girl once. And now you are going to kill Foster Prentiss. And in exchange for this task, you will never have to worry about anyone finding out your secrets again. You will be truly safe. And why the sad faces, girls? It's not like you haven't killed before. :'''Violet''': So, what's one more dead jerk, right? :'''Lilith''': Exactly. :'''Tiffany''': Why don't you kill him, then? :'''Lilith''': And not share the fun? ''[snaps her fingers and the doors open]'' Oh. You forgot to thank me for those tickets to the show. It's not like they arrived by magic, you know. Ta-ta! :'''Violet''': So what do we do now? :'''Tiffany''': I've got an idea, chica. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Anything? :'''Alexis''': The only thing I can tell you about Lilith is that according to Jewish folklore, she left her husband, Adam, after she refused to become subservient to him. Although... Dr. Holly Brown writes: "The demonization of Lilith was designed to keep women alienated from their own power and spiritual authority." Now that's what I call girl power. :'''Tiffany''': She was a demon? :'''Violet''': She's Jewish? :'''Alexis''': I don't know who this chick is, but it's obvious she knows way too much about us. :'''Tiffany''': Lilith isn't the problem. Foster Prentiss is. :'''Alexis''': Not for long. :'''Violet''': I don't usually go around killing random dudes without a really good reason. :'''Alexis''': The jerk threatened you. He's trying to extort you. He's obviously a total sleaze. What choice do you have? :'''Tiffany''': What choice do ''we'' have? :''[Alexis giggles]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Violet''': The human body can survive three to five days without water. Payback's a bitch. But dehydration is even worse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[in a magician's costume]'' Imagine being murdered with no one the wiser. Only a grieving mother that held out fruitless hope that you were still alive. Imagine what you would do to get revenge and rest in peace. Now just imagine. And wouldn't you know it? They also found another body buried in the grave. I wonder whose? ==Season 2== ===''16 Minutes of Fame''=== :'''Lilith''': Welcome to ''The Hot House'', where six celebrities with, shall we say, complicated histories live together in peace and harmony and resolve their issues like intelligent adults. Oh, that doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Perhaps rats on a sinking ship would be a much more accurate metaphor? Rats without access to cell phones or the Internet. No windows, and all the doors sealed shut, under lock and key, as it were. And we, the lucky viewers, get to watch them interact 24-7, as they try and figure out their, oh, so fascinating dilemmas. Unlike some other Reality TV shows, no one in this house was meant to get voted off. However, in the end, most of them did get eliminated. Where did it all go wrong? Perhaps we should start by meeting our housemates. Tina Hendricks. Famous for, well, being famous. Her father runs a movie studio, so she has access to all the A-list parties. Her line of face creams and body scrubs, Tina's Essence, was selling well, but her true claim to fame was – oh, you guessed it. A love tape. Lucky Starr. Cute, isn't he? With a velvet voice to go with that adorable face. Third runner up on ''Superstar USA''. Lucky's debut album dropped last Spring, then kept on dropping to the bottom of the charts. Rumor has it Lucky was the one who leaked his one-night stand with Tina online. A guy's gotta do what he can to stay in the public eye. Roger Reynolds, star of another popular reality show called ''The Catch''. Roger caused quite a scandal when he proposed to not one, but two women in the show's finale. And no, he's not Mormon, just indecisive. Roger was engaged again, three weeks later, to Tina. But they're no longer together. Bebe. No last name; just Bebe. She's our resident party girl. Mouthy, obnoxious, and rarely sober. In other words, a hero to millions with more Twitter followers than Charlie Sheen and Ashton K combined. And also the reason why Tina and Roger are no longer an item. Pecs, trainer to the stars and half of the world's passionate love story. The other half being himself. And there's a long waiting list for Pecs' services, known as Celebrity Boot Camp. Because he's known for his killer workout, bound to get any Hollywood starlet back in shape. And finally, Angel Tomlin, the serious actress. The artist with the single-minded goal to win an Oscar before she turns 30. She has a way to go. Her last credit was ''Eat and Run'', a direct-to-DVD zombie movie that you may have had the good fortune to miss. So she's a little bit anxious to up her game. And to do that, an actress's first priority must be getting back into tip-top shape. You got all that? Good. Because things are really starting to heat up in ''The Hot House''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Angel was right about one thing. Bebe is about to become more famous than ever, now that she has stolen Angel's juicy role as the lone survivor of a crazed killer. As for Angel, well, she's learned the difference between fame and infamy. Life is such a bitch that way. There's already a film about her in the works, and rumor has it Natalie Portman is ready to kill for the part. Perhaps she'll get another Oscar, or maybe that honor will go to her makeup artist. ===''Gun Twisted''=== :'''Lilith''': Guns have always had the power to arouse. They symbolize control, virility and gratification. They also go by many names. Maverick, Ice, Goose, Viper, Stinger, Slider, Tek and Heartbreaker. Loving a gun is a lot like loving a femme fatale. Both obsessions can lead you on a path to destruction. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bart''': A smart criminal sees the world a whole lot different than regular people. When I'm casing a joint, time slows down so much, it's like everything and everyone comes to a stop. Everything was just like you said, Laurie. The manager hires cute tellers. A good thing. Lookers don't risk getting killed. And the late afternoon guard is a gut-bucket slob. I'll bet you anything that loser never even practices with that cheap jack pistol they gave him. We can go out the rear exit and be in the alley in seconds. Standard issue digital camera with typical low resolution. So we can get away with simple disguises. And I saw your best pal, Sarah. And she's got "bitch" written all over her. All over her. ===''Trophy Wife''=== :'''Lilith''': Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when that woman is about to be replaced by a younger, deadlier version of herself. And for all the Botox, liposuction and skin treatments a desperate housewife could buy, money cannot turn back the clock. It is the inevitable, inexorable passage of time that changes the rules. So now, Veronica's playing a new game, a game of survival, a game that I call "Trophy Wife". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Well, it looks like some scorned women aren't that furious after all. This one's for the first wives, for those women with the experience and the imagination younger women cannot even begin to know. For those women who know that love attraction isn't only to be found in soft, supple, young lips, smooth legs and perfectly sculpted bodies, but in the mind, in the psyche, in the darkest depths of your soul. As for Veronica and Gil, it really is one of nature's majestic wonders that two people, unique in their romantic depravity, have found one another, because after all, even psychopaths need love. ===''Extracurricular Activities''=== :'''Lilith''': When you're having an affair with another woman's husband, it's usually best not to do it directly under her nose. Institutions of higher learning have always been a hotbed of love activity. Teachers with teachers, students with students and the perennial favorite – teachers with students. Professor Kelsey Williams is about to discover that when you toy with an impressionable mind to get what you want, sometimes it proves impossible to stick to the lesson plan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Professor Williams, do you have a moment? I'd like to run my paper topic by you. I've decided to write about Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey Williams''': Why? :'''Tiffany''': Well, I can't really think of a stronger woman than Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey''': Please. She was insane. She heard voices in her head, and was burned at the stake at 16. If you want to write about a strong woman, find someone who used their brains to get what they wanted. Someone like... Cleopatra. :'''Tiffany''': But Cleopatra didn't use her brains. She used love to get men to do her bidding. She's far less noble than Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey''': That's where you're wrong. Women throughout history have had to use whatever resources were available to take matters into their own hands and get what they wanted. Men have muscles; women have their loving personality. Cleopatra looked at her options at the time and did what she had to do. And that took brains. :'''Tiffany''': I never thought of it that way. :'''Kelsey''': Well, there's a lot that I could teach you. :'''Tiffany''': By the way, that's a lovely scent you're wearing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vera Rutledge''': I just can't tell you how disappointed I am in you both. The two of you have always been campus leaders. Right now, I'm dealing with overcrowded classrooms, tuition increases and the Cuesta Verde Conquistadors are going 0 for 12 this year. The last thing I need on my plate is a sorority love tape scandal. Girls! I can't get involved with this right now! :'''Alexis''': We are so mortified, Dean Rutledge. :'''Tiffany''': Don't worry. We'll take care of it. :'''Vera''': Good. Now, I trust you ladies will handle this with the high standards that I've instilled in you in the last four years. :'''Tiffany''': Of course. :'''Vera''': Now, if you'll excuse me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kelsey Williams''': Dean Rutledge? :'''Vera Rutledge''': Kelsey! :'''Kelsey''': I got your message. :'''Vera''': Yes, I wanted to have a word with you. I wanted you to know that we've zeroed in on November 21st for the career fair, and I'm looking for volunteers to help coordinate the event. :'''Kelsey''': Well, you can count on me. :'''Vera''': Good. :'''Kelsey''': Is there... anything else? :'''Vera''': No. That'll be all. ''[Kelsey starts to walk away]'' There is... one more thing. ''[Kelsey turns around and faces Vera]'' I want you to stop screwing my husband. :'''Kelsey''': I don't know what you mean. :'''Vera''': Let's... not do this, shall we? I know it's you. I'm not surprised. Jake always had a thing for the sleazy sorority type. And you certainly fit the bill. Flouncing around campus like a ridiculous harlot with a penchant for cheap perfume. :'''Kelsey''': You know, I don't have to take that from you. :'''Vera''': Yes, you do. Because you know I have it in my power to destroy you, and I will... with pleasure if I even get a hint that you are still seeing my husband behind my back. Trust me, you won't be able to get a job teaching kids how to tie their shoes. Are we clear? Walk away, Kelsey. There's not a man around as far as I can see. Don't make me speak to you again. ''[turns around and walks away from Kelsey]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Hi, Professor Williams. :'''Kelsey Williams''': What's happening? :'''Tiffany''': ''[referring to Jake Rutledge]'' Oh, you didn't hear? They found evidence connecting him to his wife's murder. :'''Kelsey''': What evidence? :'''Tiffany''': The murder weapon. It was one of those night sticks that security guards use. They found traces of the Dean's blood, and the Professor's prints were all over it. :'''Kelsey''': That's impossible. :'''Tiffany''': He got it at Walmart. Security camera footage showed him buying it just days before the murder. Funny. He doesn't look like a murderer to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Feminine wiles can be a tricky thing. When a woman uses love to get what she wants, she can easily turn a love-struck man into a dangerous weapon. Problem is, like any weapon, sometimes it can be turned against us. Unfortunately for Professor Kelsey Williams, she taught Chaz everything she knows. ===''Killer Instinct''=== :'''Lilith''': Davis Bennett just discovered that lethal things often come in pretty packages. But the lesson cost him his life. In this case, looks really can kill. As for Lauren Coleston, well, she's also about to learn something, which is that the life of a professional assassin is just as much about receiving pain as it is about dispensing it. ===''Bad Science''=== :'''Lilith''': We look in mirrors every day. The reflection back shows us what other people see. But it takes more than a mirror to see inside our souls. Matilda West has always been a force of nature, the type of woman who'll never back down from a challenge or take no for an answer. A woman who'll do almost anything to survive. But even someone as beautiful and brilliant and tough as Matilda will eventually meet her match in this world or the other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dark Matilda West''': If everyone here is as naive as the three of you... in a few years, I'm gonna be running this dimension. ''[chuckles]'' ===''Family Business''=== :'''Lilith''': It was once said that love means never having to say that you're sorry. Apparently, the copywriter that coined the trite phrase has never actually been in love. For in fact, anyone who's ever been in love knows love means always having to say that you're sorry. Devlin Grant is a man who's about to be sorrier than he ever dreamed, and get more than he bargained for, in a battle in which the spoils of victory may very well be his own soul. ===''Jail Break''=== :'''Lilith''': Remember Rafe Daniels? He works as a prison guard at the Cuesta Verde women's penitentiary. Most of the guards there have a reputation worse than the inmates they're supposed to be watching. But not Rafe. No; Rafe has a warm heart and a burning desire for true love. Unfortunately, it's hard to meet a girl you can take home to mother, when you work in a prison. It's definitely not a singles mixer. And the last time Rafe tried romancing a girl at work, well, let's just say he wound up with a real backstabber. One would've thought, after all that drama, Rafe would've learned his lesson. Oh, but it's not easy to ignore what the heart wants. And given all the evidence, stolen money, a gun, and at least one very dead body, well, one might assume that he is under the spell of yet another femme fatale. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rafe Daniels''': Dear Warden Jefferies, it has been an honor working for you at the Cuesta Verde Women's Correctional Facility for the last four years. However, recent events have taken such an emotional toll on me; I have decided it would be in my best interest to take a break from this line of work, at least temporarily. So it is with a heavy heart that I submit this letter of resignation, effective immediately. I will always have the utmost respect for you, sir, and wish you and your family only the best. Sincerely, Rafe Daniels. ===''Crazy Mary''=== :'''Lilith''': Poor Mary Mason. She's just can't seem to catch a break. All she wants is her old life back. With a happy home and a man that loves her and keep her safe and warm. Oh, but there is no safety when you're a lamb in a den full of wolves. Especially when everybody thinks that you're crazy. You may think things couldn't get any worse for our little daydreamer. Well, that's where you'd be wrong. Here at the Cuesta Verde Institute for the criminally insane, things are about to get, for the lack of a better word, a little nuts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Looks like Crazy Mary's adventures are just beginning. If you should ever happen to cross her path, I suggest you be very, very nice to her. ===''One Man's Death''=== :'''Lilith''': Todd Voight is a very lucky man. Successful, handsome and loved by two beautiful women. But tonight his luck runs out. He leaves two women mourning his death and discovering his secrets. All of his secrets. ===''Hell Hath No Furies''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a Christmas outfit]'' It looks like Lydia Gonzales's pleas for mercy have gone unheeded. Lydia did try and warn the judge that El Jefe could reach her, no matter where she would hide, and now, her warning is about to be proven all too true. It appears that Lydia Gonzales and the men and women of Cuesta Verde Precinct 13 are about to have a very, very bad Christmas. ''[chuckles]'' ===''Libra''=== :'''Lilith''': It could be argued that there is a fine line between fantasy and reality. Dimitri Uzi Olesky just won his war against the Ryan mob. Oh, and he paid a very heavy price to do it. But all's fair in love and war, and for now, he is the undisputed crime boss of Cuesta Verde. Ironically, boss Olesky will pay for his sins, but retribution will come from a place he least expects it, for in the end, the scales of justice always tip one way or another. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max Bailey''': Where am I, lady? :'''Libra''': The name's not "Lady". It's Libra. :'''Max''': Okay, nice to meet you, um... Libra. My name is Max– :'''Libra''': Max Bailey. I know. I've had Olesky's place under surveillance for weeks. :'''Max''': Are you a cop? :'''Libra''': You never know. But mostly just a concerned citizen. Same as you. :'''Max''': That's the first time anyone's ever called me that. :'''Libra''': Your father worked for Olesky. They were partners until Olesky cut him out of the business. When your father started to talk, Olesky had him killed. ''[removes her mask]'' You want revenge... just like I do. But instead of wearing a mask, you're helping the police. You're looking for Olesky's mole in Special Investigations. :'''Max''': Yeah; Do you know who that is? :'''Libra''': ''[removes her utility belt and drops it on the floor]'' Not yet. :'''Max''': Look, I need to report in. Tomorrow night Olesky's having a sit-down with the other bosses. :'''Libra''': That's right. ''[removes her evening gloves]'' I plan on being there. :'''Max''': Who are you? I mean, nobody names their kid "Libra". :'''Libra''': We're on the same team, Max. We just wear different uniforms. ''[stares Max in the face]'' Do I frighten you? :'''Max''': Isn't that the idea? :'''Libra''': There's a reason you should be frightened of me. ''[removes her costume and reveals her body to Max]'' Before, I was just a woman. But gangsters aren't scared by women. They use them, exploit them, manipulate them. But Libra... she's a symbol. Someone that they can't bribe, scare or seduce. And the scales of justice always tip in Libra's favor. But right now, I'm not Libra. I'm just a woman. :'''Max''': You're beautiful. :'''Libra''': Thank you, Max Bailey. ''[kisses Max on the lips]'' So what do you know about Libras? Hmm? :'''Max''': Ask me later. :'''Libra''': Uh-huh. :'''Max''': I'm still learning. :'''Libra''': Yeah? Well... for one, we loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity. But we believe in compassion and compromise. :'''Max''': Doesn't sound like you. :'''Libra''': You know what else? We like to be touched. :'''Max''': Oh. :'''Libra''': That leg isn't gonna give you trouble now, is it? :'''Max''': No, I'll manage. :'''Libra''': That's what I thought. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': You thought I wouldn't know where you were going? :'''Libra''': You shouldn't be here. :'''Max''': Neither should you. Being anywhere near Olesky right now is a very bad idea. :'''Libra''': Yeah, and you need to let me be. Let me take him down. :'''Max''': Are you trying to get yourself killed? You try and get in there, and you're dead. Libra is a fictional comic book character. Somehow, I don't think the author based his stories on your real-life exploits. You're not Libra. :'''Libra''': He let my mother die. Some kidnappers took her for some easy score. They tried to ransom her back. $5 million. They wanted $5 million. Pocket change for my father. He told them to go screw themselves. Refused to pay a dime. Cops found her a couple of days later – raped and mutilated. We had to have a closed casket. He didn't even come to the funeral – too busy seducing one of his harlots. :'''Max''': You're Anya Olesky? :'''Libra''': No. I'm Libra. And these streets are mine. And tonight Dimitri Olesky will pay for the blood that he has spilled. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angel Tomlin''': The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]], [[Hamlet#Act II|''Hamlet'', Act II]]. We are going to take this to Broadway. ''Shakespeare Undressed''. And then... I'd like to thank the Academy. It is such an honor to accept this award on behalf of everyone involved in ''Shakespeare Undressed''. I am especially indebted to [[w:Patrick Stewart|Sir Patrick Stewart]] for his guidance and his support. Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': Well, you got your revenge. I guess we both did. Now what? :'''Libra''': It's not about us anymore. There's a lot of people suffering in Cuesta Verde. People who have no one to help them. Cuesta Verde needs a symbol. A champion for the oppressed. :'''Max''': You know anyone for the job? :'''Libra''': I might. :'''Max''': That was a rhetorical question. :'''Libra''': I can't do this all by myself. I need a Robin. :'''Max''': A Robin? Your very own Boy Wonder? I don't think so. :'''Libra''': Ah, come on. You'd look hot in tights. :'''Max''': We'll see, Anya. :'''Libra''': The name's Libra, and these streets are mine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': We all wear masks – sometimes for fun and other times for disguise or protection. Some masks are steel. Some are satin. Some are silk, and some are leather. They're the faces of a stranger, but we love to try them on. Hopefully, you'll find one that is a perfect fit. Anya Olesky did. ==Cast== ===Main Cast=== * [[w:Tanit Phoenix|Tanit Phoenix]] – Lilith ===Notable Guest Stars=== * Ariauna Albright as Dream Woman * Ana Alexander as Camille Gardner * [[w:Sadie Alexandru|Sadie Alexandru]] as Janelle * [[Crystal Allen]] as Rhonda Temple * [[w:Mark A.

What's a spoiled young Hollywood actress to do when thrown into the tank with all those sharks? Those are just the prison guards. No, Lacey Rivers is going to have to rely on her one skill she can count on – her acting. You don't get $5 million a picture without any talent. Behind these locked doors, our little Lacey is about to give the performance of her life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Watch any Lacey Rivers movie, and you will always be treated to a happy ending. Well, poor Lacey. She's about to discover that real life rarely turns out like a G-rated family film. Karma can be such a bitch. ===''Bad Medicine''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a nurse's uniform]'' All superheroes have a story of origin, from an awkward teenager that's bitten by a radioactive spider, a daring test pilot that's bestowed a very powerful ring, an alien from the planet Krypton that crash-lands on Earth. A femme fatale, you see, well, she's cut from similar cloth. Some women are born to be empowered and dangerous and they embrace it according to their nature. Well, the essence of a femme fatale may be lying dormant, just waiting for fate to see her free. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[still in her nurse's uniform]'' It looks like Greg is in for an electrifying experience. And as for our sweet Nurse Violet, she's blossomed into quite a woman – a newly-minted femme fatale in control of her own destiny and administering her own dose of bad medicine. ===''Something Like Murder''=== :'''Lilith''': Whenever you find a rich man, you are bound to find a gold-digger waiting to take him for everything he's got. Well, tonight, somewhere in these Hollywood hills, this gold-digger really was using a shovel. It's been said the taste of evil smells like honeysuckle. I wouldn't argue with that, but tonight, there is a distinct smell in the air and it smells like murder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Poor Darla. She thought she'd planned the perfect murder, but greed makes suckers of all of us. There is no easy way to make money in this economy. Unless, of course, you're Elena Machado, a hard-working cleaning woman, who just got a very, very big severance package. I guess it's safe to say she won't be coming to work on Monday. ===''Speed Date''=== :'''Kevin Freeman''': I like a woman who knows herself. Confidence is beauty. There's nothing lovelier than a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. An independent woman, with a spry personality and an old soul. That's the one for me. I'm Troy. When I'm in the outdoors, it's about freedom. I read. Losing myself in the pages of a good book is pure nirvana. Like an hour-long bubble bath, with bath bombs from bliss. My best friends are Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Without them, I am lost. Simply put: their music is the soundtrack of my life. Yeah, I know I'm good-looking, but that's not worth a hill of beans unless you find the right girl to spend life's special moments with. And let me tell you: In this town, it's been tough to find that special someone. If you're confident, if you're independent, if you're open-minded, passionate, genuine, creative, funny... if you think you're her, and you think we'll click, please, contact me. DocTroy77. Thank you, Doctor Troy. Ladies, all of our lines are open. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': We all tell little white lies. We lie about our height, our weight, where we've been and where we're going. And tonight, video game developer Kevin Freeman is about to discover that when his fantasy turns into reality, honesty, in fact, may be the best policy as his little white lies get him into a world of trouble. ===''The White Flower''=== :'''Lilith''': Money. It's been said it is the root of all evil. Well, tonight, in this seedy motel room, two men are about to find out that it's the devil's honest truth – that when the fickle finger of fate points in your direction, the most innocuous omen may be the harbinger of doom, and it may come in the most enticing package with a heart that beats of pure deceit. So tonight, I bequeath to you "The White Flower". ===''Girls Gone Dead''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a school uniform]'' Psychologists believe that the brain doesn't stop maturing until we're well into our twenties. So what does that mean for a girl who's turned 18? Legally, she's an adult, yet she still has a brain that's... well, let's just say a brain that's not fully cooked. ''[giggles]'' I guess that's why you can say we go away to college. It's like an incubator. A place to keep our bodies safe and our brains baking. Until we're able to make informed intelligent choices. But what happens when our bodies are ready, willing and able, yet our minds are not mature enough to make these right decisions, especially when faced with a friendly smile and irresistible temptations like... a T-shirt, or worse, plastic beads? You can't expect a girl, whose body that's trying to catch up to its brain, to understand concepts like consequences, particularly with a little booze involved, and some soft light and a charming man with a camera. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay Roma''': I guarantee there is not a hotter party in the world and no place I'd rather be than right here with the girls of Theta Alpha Nu! Ten smoking hot coeds and yours truly! I got a feeling we're gonna see some truly ''Crazy Chixx''! Let's find out just how crazy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': I have a strict policy; I don't... participate. :'''Alexis''': Why not? :'''Jay''': I built my brand on ''Crazy Chixx'', not on some dirtbag trying to get with them. :'''Tiffany''': You've never been in one of your videos? :'''Jay''': No. Never. It would ruin my reputation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kip''': Nobody lives here. :'''Erida''': Of course we live here; it's our sorority house. :'''Kip''': This is no sorority. Nobody lives here... and that's water! :'''Erida''': Water is the source of all life. :'''Kip''': Why are all the vodka bottles filled with water?! :'''Erida''': We don't wanna be drunk for this. :'''Kip''': Who are you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Where the hell is Kip? :'''Erida''': My fault. Sorry. :'''Jay''': Well, where the hell is he? :'''Erida''': Let's just say his willpower lost this time. :'''Jay''': Kip, you're fired!! :'''Erida''': Don't blame him! He couldn't resist. :'''Jay''': Well, what happened? What'd you do? Jeez! He knows better! To hell with him. You know how to work this thing? :'''Emily''': Hell, yeah. :'''Jay''': Good. Come on! I wanna make this lousy bastard sorry. :'''Tiffany''': We have just the thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Uh, all right, look, this is getting kinda dangerous. Tiffany? :'''Tiffany''': I'm getting kind of used to that name. It's got a nice ring to it. My real name is Jessica. But you wouldn't remember that, would you, Jay? Tiffany, well... it's just a variation of a Greek name. Tisiphone. She was a goddess... the goddess of vengeance. :'''Jay''': All right, uh... Kip!! :'''Tiffany''': But I thought you wanted to meet Caroline. :'''Jay''': Screw Caroline! :'''Tiffany''': You already did!! You got me and Caroline drunk. Really drunk. Then you gave us some money. And then you ruined our lives! We had to drop out of school, change our names, and no matter where we moved or what we did, we could not get away from what we did for you! Of course, I handled it a lot better than she did. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kip''': I know you. Your name's not Erida, is it? :'''Erida''': Very good, Kip. I'm gonna give you a little lesson in Greek mythology. You see, Erida was a Greek goddess... the goddess of hate. She could only be appeased once blood was spilled. :'''Kip''': What are you gonna do? :'''Erida''': Isn't it obvious? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alexis''': By the way, I'm Ashley. When you filmed me, that was my name. :'''Tiffany''': It was her brilliant idea to use Greek names. :'''Alexis''': Alexis, from the Greek name Alecto. :'''Erida''': The goddess of unresting. :'''Alexis''': I haven't rested since I met you, Jay. :'''Erida''': Ash graduated magna cum laude in Ancient Greek. She's a member of Mensa, bonehead. :'''Alexis''': I have a feeling I'll rest tonight. :'''Jay''': What do you want?! What do you want?!! :'''Erida''': Isn't it obvious? :'''Tiffany''': We all appeared in your videos. Now it's your turn to be in ours. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jay''': Okay. All right. I know what you're doing, you dumb bitches! You think you're gonna embarrass me?! You think you're gonna film me and make me look like an idiot and ruin my reputation?! When I get out of here, you're gonna be dead! To hell with you, and to hell with your harlot friend Caroline! :'''Emily''': And to think I had second thoughts about this. :'''Tiffany''': I told you it would be worth it. :'''Jay''': I'm gonna sue you! I oughta sue you for everything you've got! You wanna film me?! You wanna film me? Go ahead and film me, you stupid harlots! :'''Tiffany''': Come on. Let's go upstairs and clean up. :'''Jay''': Wait! :'''Tiffany''': Congrats, Jay. This will definitely be your biggest hit ever. :'''Jay''': Where are you going? Hey. Hey, come back here! No! Come back! Please! Hey! Come back...! ''[coughs and chokes]'' Hey! Help! Help! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[giggles]'' Luckily, most people can't speak Greek. If Kip or Jay did, they may recognize that Theta Alpha Nu are the first three letters of the word Thanatos. That's Greek for death. Clever girls. Jay Roma. Made his first million at the age of 25. Made his first hundred million by the age of 32. But by 35, 20 million hits on his very last video. I guess these chicks are crazier than what he ever dreamed. And as the Greeks say – Kali nichta. Good night. ===''Haunted''=== :'''Lilith''': Five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a swimming pool and a bonus guest house. This house would be a real steal, if it weren't haunted. But how could you prove that? Or disprove it? And would you live in a house with that kind of storied reputation? Would you even spend one night? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Do you believe in ghosts or demons? Do you think it's possible for them to enter our world? Maybe the next time you meet a girl that seems too good to be true, she may very well be the ultimate femme fatale. ''[slowly fades away into thin air]'' ===''Angel & Demons''=== :'''Lilith''': The animal kingdom is a fiercely violent domain. Animals kill for food, for territory and for survival. But there is one animal that's known to kill for pleasure – man. We live in a world populated by angels and demons. You're about to meet both. ===''Help Me, Rhonda''=== :'''Lilith''': You all know Camille Gardner – a beautiful woman who, like so many, got married too young, too soon. Well, now she's living a life she never imagined for herself with an abusive husband and aimless existence. Oh, and her world's about to get so much worse. Tango's beautiful, isn't she? Well, get ready, 'cause you're about to meet some animals that aren't nearly as pretty. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Camille Gardner, in a bathrobe, finds Rhonda Temple in a red one-piece swimsuit, sitting outside in a lounge chair right next to a swimming pool]'' :'''Camille Gardner''': What the hell are you smiling about? :'''Rhonda Temple''': I'm just thinking about our future. :'''Camille''': ''[sits down right next to Rhonda]'' I guess you'll be thinking about our recent past. :'''Rhonda''': Why bother? What's done is done. ''[removes Camille's hair braid and strokes her hair]'' I'm looking to spend my future with you. :'''Camille''': Some woman came, asking for Eddie. :'''Rhonda''': So? :'''Camille''': I'm worried. She sounded like she was supposed to meet him here. If I were you, I'd be very concerned. :'''Rhonda''': Why? When you can worry for the both of us? That's what you're good at, right? :'''Camille''': You know, I should sit in the sun. :'''Rhonda''': What for, when you can go for a swim? ''[removes Camille's robe, revealing her in a green one-piece swimsuit]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[as a police detective]'' Mrs. Camille Gardner? Do you know what this is? Your house has been under surveillance for the past month. So you are under arrest for the murder of your husband. Now do not lie to us. Things will go a lot easier for you. Start by telling us where we can find Rhonda Temple. :'''Camille''': ''[referring to Rhonda Temple]'' If we're under surveillance for a month, how come you don't know where she is? I have no idea where she is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lacey Rivers''': So why are you here? :'''Camille''': I killed my husband. Stabbed him in the chest six times. ===''The Clinic''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a doctor's uniform]'' Everyone wants to believe that they are going to live forever – that that tremor in their heart, the few extra pounds added over the holidays and the labored breathing after a morning run are all perfectly normal. ''[chuckles]'' But what happens when you find out they're not? What happens when you realize the life that you've been leading has an expiration date? What would you do to change that? Would you make the same choice that Logan Cale is about to make? And at what price? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': They say home is where the heart is, and unfortunately, for Logan Cale, this was all too true, proving you can truly buy anything for the right price. And if there's a moral to tonight's story and you find yourself sick and bedridden and might need to resort to desperate measures for a cure, I make this very humble suggestion: get a second opinion. ===''Till Death Do Us Part''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a one-piece swimsuit and sarong with a flower in her hair and a Hawaiian tropical drink in her hand]'' Aloha! I see you've met Rachel Worth. Poor thing. Can you believe it's her wedding day? Certainly not a very auspicious start. A bride needs something borrowed, something blue, but certainly not something dead. I guess the silver lining in all of this is the corpse is not the man she's planning to marry. But with her ceremony on a private beach near Waikiki looming in six hours, she best fix this little hiccup that's threatening her big day. ''[puts down her drink and walks up the steps to the top of a diving rock overlooking a swimming pool]'' Otherwise, there could very well be a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Till death do us part". ''[takes off her sarong, dives into the water and swims]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel Worth''': We have to postpone the wedding. :'''Cam''': No. :'''Rachel''': Cam, we have no choice. :'''Cam''': We're doing it. Just as we planned. Today. :'''Rachel''': Why? :'''Cam''': Because I have to be married by the time I'm 30. :'''Rachel''': Sweetie, no, you don't. :'''Cam''': When my grandmother died, she left me a $10 million trust fund. But there was a catch. She stipulated that I have to be married by my 30th birthday or I don't get the money. :'''Rachel''': But why would she do something like that? :'''Cam''': Gram was around long enough to see me go through my wild period. Let's just say she didn't exactly approve. She wanted me to settle down and make something of myself, which I did. Just after, she was gone. But there's still that clause in the will that I need to adhere to. :'''Rachel''': Why didn't you tell me? :'''Cam''': I was going to. I just... I didn't want you to think I was marrying you just so I can get my hands on the money. I'm marrying you because I love you, Rachel. :'''Sharon''': Okay, that's really sweet, but what I wanna know is, what happens to the money if you don't get married? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rachel''': Kim. Oh, my God. It was you. You hired the stripper. And you made my first drink. You spiked it, which is why I was so out of it and can't remember anything! And someone would've had to record it. You actually made moans to make it look like it was actually happening, like I was awake and I was enjoying it?! And you were gonna to email it to Cam so he'd call off the wedding. And you would be next in line for the trust fund. :'''Cam''': Kim, did you really murder this poor guy? :'''Kim''': Poor guy? Poor guy? Oh, come on, Cam. Get off your high horse. Poor guy. He was just some sleazy stripper. Anyways, it was his own fault. No one was supposed to get hurt. But the bastard got greedy. He demanded half of the money, threatened to expose me to you and Rachel. So I just agreed to shut him up. But come on. I wasn't just gonna hand over $5 million to some lame fireman. So I made him the special cocktail that I made Rachel, and I kept him busy until it took effect. And I could handle this problem once and for all. But it turned out to be a much better plan than I anticipated. Because cheating is one thing, but accidentally killing a trick while making love the night before your wedding? Well, there's just no way that Cam was ever gonna say "I do". Not to her. :'''Rachel''': No wonder you wanted to call the cops! You knew it looked bad for me. :'''Kim''': I did what I had to do! I mean, we're talking $10 million here! It's not fair! Okay? I was the good girl! I went to Nana's house every Sunday! I remembered her birthdays; he didn't! I was the one that got straight A's! I was the good girl! But the bitch left it all to him! Thought he could change! But it wasn't the money that changed him, Rachel. It was you. :'''Rachel''': Your little Frederick's of Hollywood number – was it preshrunk? :'''Kim''': No. :''[Rachel picks up a lemonade pitcher and dumps lemonade on Kim's head]'' :'''Rachel''': Worst maid of honor ever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[still in her one-piece swimsuit and refreshed from swimming, her hair wet and her hand gently stroking the water]'' It's been said it's bad luck for a bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. Although, after the day they've had, I don't blame Rachel or Cam for throwing caution to the wind. As for lessons learned, it's an age-old question for women: Do you marry for love or for money? ''[chuckles]'' Luckily, though, for Rachel Worth, today she doesn't have to choose. Mahalo. ===''Visions, Part 1''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a magician's costume]'' Mentalism is a performing art whose practitioners demonstrate highly developed mental and intuitive abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance and mind control. Foster Prentiss, the Amazing Mysterium, possesses no such skill. He is a complete and utter fraud. Unfortunately, there's nothing phony about murder. Foster will stop at nothing to get what he wants and must put on a performance of a lifetime. But maybe this time, the ruse is on him. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foster Prentiss hears a loud splash and he goes outside to investigate, only to find Jessica, in a black one-piece swimsuit, swimming in a pool]'' :'''Foster Prentiss''': Can I help you? :'''Jessica''': I think we can help each other. I hear you're looking for a new assistant. I've seen your act. You're very good. But you could be great with the right help. :'''Foster''': Yeah, I'm not looking for any help. Thank you. :'''Jessica''': I look fabulous in fishnets, and even better without them. Won't you consider letting me audition, or at least fetching me that towel? :''[Foster Prentiss laughs. Several minutes later, Jessica is seducing Prentiss in bed]'' :'''Jessica''': By the way, my name is Jessica. :'''Foster''': Pleased to meet you, Jessica. ''[laughs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Foster Prentiss is stunned by the realization of what Violet MacReady did at the Cuesta Verde Hospital]'' :'''Foster''': I don't know how this can be happening to me! I saw her! I saw what she did and I saw her kill a guy! She knows that I know. She knows I know. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do now? ''[yells at the top of his lungs]'' You just tell me what– ''[Jessica strikes Foster in the face]'' Bloody hell! You hit me?! Jeez, are you crazy?!! :'''Jessica''': Calm the hell down! Nobody killed anybody. You didn't see anything. That was incredible! Whatever hell scam you're pulling is working! Did you see their faces out there? They're eating it up. :'''Foster''': Yeah – no, no, it wasn't a scam. What I felt out there was real. :'''Jessica''': Sure it was. But now... you gotta keep your eye on the prize. If we're gonna score any of that rich bitch's cash, she needs to believe that you can talk to her dead daughter. So get out there and finish the damn show. :'''Foster''': Okay, okay. Yeah, okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': So the man you apparently saw is Jay Roma. He started ''Crazy Chixx''. He was murdered a few months back, and his death was streamed on the Internet. :'''Foster''': Why is this happening to me, though? That's what I don't understand. :'''Jessica''': The other tart is Violet MacReady. She is a person of interest in two recent killings: one of a local, prestigious surgeon; the other – some two-bit gangbanger. :'''Foster''': You know, I never thought this was possible. Why have I been given such a powerful gift? :'''Jessica''': The question you should be asking yourself... is, how can we exploit it? :'''Foster''': Exploit it?! :'''Jessica''': Jeez! Do I have to spell everything out to you? Blackmail. You're already a fraud. What's another sin, or three? :'''Foster''': You don't believe me, do you? :'''Jessica''': ''[takes Foster's hand and holds it up to her face]'' Do you see anything interesting, swami? :'''Foster''': ''[after receiving visions of what Jessica recently did, finally realizes the truth]'' You killed your boyfriend, set him up and sold his organs for spare parts! :'''Jessica''': How did you...?! No one knows about that. :'''Foster''': I told you, the visions are real, Jessica. :'''Jessica''': You know what, Foster? I think we're gonna be really, really rich. ===''Visions, Part 2''=== :'''Foster Prentiss''': Firstly, of course, I would like to apologize for keeping you waiting so long. But I bet you're wondering what you're both doing here, right? :'''Violet MacReady''': No kidding, Sherlock. :'''Prentiss''': Well... you do have a temper on you, don't you? See, I invited you both here to give you a chance to move on with the rest of your life. :'''Tiffany''': I'm so gone. ''[starts to leave]'' :'''Jessica''': ''[stops Tiffany from leaving]'' Shut up and listen. :'''Prentiss''': Yeah, I think you should listen to her. Or, of course, I could just call the authorities and tell them about Jay Roma. :'''Tiffany''': Who? :'''Jessica''': Don't be coy, darling. The world may not miss a smut peddler like that, but it still won't get you off with the cops. ''[turns to Violet]'' And you, Violet. You're not as sweet and innocent as you look, are you? :'''Foster''': Ooh, someone messed with the wrong nurse. Eh, chica? :'''Violet''': How do you know all this? :'''Foster''': Because I'm the Amazing Mysterium! And I know all. :'''Violet''': What do you want with us, Mr. Amazing? :'''Foster''': What do I want? What could I possibly want? What could I want? How about... money! That's exactly what I want. :'''Violet''': Well, you better take another look into your crystal ball, because I'm not an ATM. I'm broke. :'''Tiffany''': And I'm still trying to pay off my student loans. :'''Violet''': So you've got the wrong chica, ese. :'''Foster''': ''[slams the table with his hand]'' Well, then you better find some money fast!! Both of you got 48 hours or the next time you sit down with somebody, it'll be with a public defender! ''[calms down]'' Why don't you just think about it a little bit, OK? Good afternoon, ladies. I hope you enjoy the show. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': We haven't formally met. Tiffany. :'''Violet''': Violet. :'''Tiffany''': You've got incredible eyes, Violet. :'''Violet''': Thanks. Nice dress, Wilma Flintstone. So, did you really kill that dirtbag Jay Roma? :'''Tiffany''': Yeah. :'''Violet''': Do you regret it? :'''Tiffany''': Not for a minute. :'''Violet''': I think we're going to get along swell. :'''Tiffany''': BFFs. :'''Violet''': Don't push it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': How'd you get this way? :'''Violet''': What way? :'''Tiffany''': You know what I'm talking about. We're one and the same, Violet. You weren't always like this. What happened? :'''Violet''': I had a really bad day. :'''Tiffany''': So, I've got a question, and you totally don't have to answer it if you don't want to. But what are you gonna do? :'''Lilith''': You are going to make Foster Prentiss pay for what he did. That is what you are going to do. :'''Violet''': I know you. :'''Tiffany''': Well, I don't. How'd you get in here? :'''Lilith''': I go by many names. But you can call me Lilith. :'''Tiffany''': Are you getting blackmailed, too? :'''Lilith''': No. But we have so much in common. :'''Violet''': We were all blessed with great hair? :'''Lilith''': Men in our pasts have wronged us. :'''Tiffany''': What's this all about? :'''Lilith''': It's very simple, actually. Foster Prentiss killed a girl once. And now you are going to kill Foster Prentiss. And in exchange for this task, you will never have to worry about anyone finding out your secrets again. You will be truly safe. And why the sad faces, girls? It's not like you haven't killed before. :'''Violet''': So, what's one more dead jerk, right? :'''Lilith''': Exactly. :'''Tiffany''': Why don't you kill him, then? :'''Lilith''': And not share the fun? ''[snaps her fingers and the doors open]'' Oh. You forgot to thank me for those tickets to the show. It's not like they arrived by magic, you know. Ta-ta! :'''Violet''': So what do we do now? :'''Tiffany''': I've got an idea, chica. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Anything? :'''Alexis''': The only thing I can tell you about Lilith is that according to Jewish folklore, she left her husband, Adam, after she refused to become subservient to him. Although... Dr. Holly Brown writes: "The demonization of Lilith was designed to keep women alienated from their own power and spiritual authority." Now that's what I call girl power. :'''Tiffany''': She was a demon? :'''Violet''': She's Jewish? :'''Alexis''': I don't know who this chick is, but it's obvious she knows way too much about us. :'''Tiffany''': Lilith isn't the problem. Foster Prentiss is. :'''Alexis''': Not for long. :'''Violet''': I don't usually go around killing random dudes without a really good reason. :'''Alexis''': The jerk threatened you. He's trying to extort you. He's obviously a total sleaze. What choice do you have? :'''Tiffany''': What choice do ''we'' have? :''[Alexis giggles]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Violet''': The human body can survive three to five days without water. Payback's a bitch. But dehydration is even worse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': ''[in a magician's costume]'' Imagine being murdered with no one the wiser. Only a grieving mother that held out fruitless hope that you were still alive. Imagine what you would do to get revenge and rest in peace. Now just imagine. And wouldn't you know it? They also found another body buried in the grave. I wonder whose? ==Season 2== ===''16 Minutes of Fame''=== :'''Lilith''': Welcome to ''The Hot House'', where six celebrities with, shall we say, complicated histories live together in peace and harmony and resolve their issues like intelligent adults. Oh, that doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Perhaps rats on a sinking ship would be a much more accurate metaphor? Rats without access to cell phones or the Internet. No windows, and all the doors sealed shut, under lock and key, as it were. And we, the lucky viewers, get to watch them interact 24-7, as they try and figure out their, oh, so fascinating dilemmas. Unlike some other Reality TV shows, no one in this house was meant to get voted off. However, in the end, most of them did get eliminated. Where did it all go wrong? Perhaps we should start by meeting our housemates. Tina Hendricks. Famous for, well, being famous. Her father runs a movie studio, so she has access to all the A-list parties. Her line of face creams and body scrubs, Tina's Essence, was selling well, but her true claim to fame was – oh, you guessed it. A love tape. Lucky Starr. Cute, isn't he? With a velvet voice to go with that adorable face. Third runner up on ''Superstar USA''. Lucky's debut album dropped last Spring, then kept on dropping to the bottom of the charts. Rumor has it Lucky was the one who leaked his one-night stand with Tina online. A guy's gotta do what he can to stay in the public eye. Roger Reynolds, star of another popular reality show called ''The Catch''. Roger caused quite a scandal when he proposed to not one, but two women in the show's finale. And no, he's not Mormon, just indecisive. Roger was engaged again, three weeks later, to Tina. But they're no longer together. Bebe. No last name; just Bebe. She's our resident party girl. Mouthy, obnoxious, and rarely sober. In other words, a hero to millions with more Twitter followers than Charlie Sheen and Ashton K combined. And also the reason why Tina and Roger are no longer an item. Pecs, trainer to the stars and half of the world's passionate love story. The other half being himself. And there's a long waiting list for Pecs' services, known as Celebrity Boot Camp. Because he's known for his killer workout, bound to get any Hollywood starlet back in shape. And finally, Angel Tomlin, the serious actress. The artist with the single-minded goal to win an Oscar before she turns 30. She has a way to go. Her last credit was ''Eat and Run'', a direct-to-DVD zombie movie that you may have had the good fortune to miss. So she's a little bit anxious to up her game. And to do that, an actress's first priority must be getting back into tip-top shape. You got all that? Good. Because things are really starting to heat up in ''The Hot House''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Angel was right about one thing. Bebe is about to become more famous than ever, now that she has stolen Angel's juicy role as the lone survivor of a crazed killer. As for Angel, well, she's learned the difference between fame and infamy. Life is such a bitch that way. There's already a film about her in the works, and rumor has it Natalie Portman is ready to kill for the part. Perhaps she'll get another Oscar, or maybe that honor will go to her makeup artist. ===''Gun Twisted''=== :'''Lilith''': Guns have always had the power to arouse. They symbolize control, virility and gratification. They also go by many names. Maverick, Ice, Goose, Viper, Stinger, Slider, Tek and Heartbreaker. Loving a gun is a lot like loving a femme fatale. Both obsessions can lead you on a path to destruction. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bart''': A smart criminal sees the world a whole lot different than regular people. When I'm casing a joint, time slows down so much, it's like everything and everyone comes to a stop. Everything was just like you said, Laurie. The manager hires cute tellers. A good thing. Lookers don't risk getting killed. And the late afternoon guard is a gut-bucket slob. I'll bet you anything that loser never even practices with that cheap jack pistol they gave him. We can go out the rear exit and be in the alley in seconds. Standard issue digital camera with typical low resolution. So we can get away with simple disguises. And I saw your best pal, Sarah. And she's got "bitch" written all over her. All over her. ===''Trophy Wife''=== :'''Lilith''': Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when that woman is about to be replaced by a younger, deadlier version of herself. And for all the Botox, liposuction and skin treatments a desperate housewife could buy, money cannot turn back the clock. It is the inevitable, inexorable passage of time that changes the rules. So now, Veronica's playing a new game, a game of survival, a game that I call "Trophy Wife". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Well, it looks like some scorned women aren't that furious after all. This one's for the first wives, for those women with the experience and the imagination younger women cannot even begin to know. For those women who know that love attraction isn't only to be found in soft, supple, young lips, smooth legs and perfectly sculpted bodies, but in the mind, in the psyche, in the darkest depths of your soul. As for Veronica and Gil, it really is one of nature's majestic wonders that two people, unique in their romantic depravity, have found one another, because after all, even psychopaths need love. ===''Extracurricular Activities''=== :'''Lilith''': When you're having an affair with another woman's husband, it's usually best not to do it directly under her nose. Institutions of higher learning have always been a hotbed of love activity. Teachers with teachers, students with students and the perennial favorite – teachers with students. Professor Kelsey Williams is about to discover that when you toy with an impressionable mind to get what you want, sometimes it proves impossible to stick to the lesson plan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Professor Williams, do you have a moment? I'd like to run my paper topic by you. I've decided to write about Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey Williams''': Why? :'''Tiffany''': Well, I can't really think of a stronger woman than Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey''': Please. She was insane. She heard voices in her head, and was burned at the stake at 16. If you want to write about a strong woman, find someone who used their brains to get what they wanted. Someone like... Cleopatra. :'''Tiffany''': But Cleopatra didn't use her brains. She used love to get men to do her bidding. She's far less noble than Joan of Arc. :'''Kelsey''': That's where you're wrong. Women throughout history have had to use whatever resources were available to take matters into their own hands and get what they wanted. Men have muscles; women have their loving personality. Cleopatra looked at her options at the time and did what she had to do. And that took brains. :'''Tiffany''': I never thought of it that way. :'''Kelsey''': Well, there's a lot that I could teach you. :'''Tiffany''': By the way, that's a lovely scent you're wearing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vera Rutledge''': I just can't tell you how disappointed I am in you both. The two of you have always been campus leaders. Right now, I'm dealing with overcrowded classrooms, tuition increases and the Cuesta Verde Conquistadors are going 0 for 12 this year. The last thing I need on my plate is a sorority love tape scandal. Girls! I can't get involved with this right now! :'''Alexis''': We are so mortified, Dean Rutledge. :'''Tiffany''': Don't worry. We'll take care of it. :'''Vera''': Good. Now, I trust you ladies will handle this with the high standards that I've instilled in you in the last four years. :'''Tiffany''': Of course. :'''Vera''': Now, if you'll excuse me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kelsey Williams''': Dean Rutledge? :'''Vera Rutledge''': Kelsey! :'''Kelsey''': I got your message. :'''Vera''': Yes, I wanted to have a word with you. I wanted you to know that we've zeroed in on November 21st for the career fair, and I'm looking for volunteers to help coordinate the event. :'''Kelsey''': Well, you can count on me. :'''Vera''': Good. :'''Kelsey''': Is there... anything else? :'''Vera''': No. That'll be all. ''[Kelsey starts to walk away]'' There is... one more thing. ''[Kelsey turns around and faces Vera]'' I want you to stop screwing my husband. :'''Kelsey''': I don't know what you mean. :'''Vera''': Let's... not do this, shall we? I know it's you. I'm not surprised. Jake always had a thing for the sleazy sorority type. And you certainly fit the bill. Flouncing around campus like a ridiculous harlot with a penchant for cheap perfume. :'''Kelsey''': You know, I don't have to take that from you. :'''Vera''': Yes, you do. Because you know I have it in my power to destroy you, and I will... with pleasure if I even get a hint that you are still seeing my husband behind my back. Trust me, you won't be able to get a job teaching kids how to tie their shoes. Are we clear? Walk away, Kelsey. There's not a man around as far as I can see. Don't make me speak to you again. ''[turns around and walks away from Kelsey]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': Hi, Professor Williams. :'''Kelsey Williams''': What's happening? :'''Tiffany''': ''[referring to Jake Rutledge]'' Oh, you didn't hear? They found evidence connecting him to his wife's murder. :'''Kelsey''': What evidence? :'''Tiffany''': The murder weapon. It was one of those night sticks that security guards use. They found traces of the Dean's blood, and the Professor's prints were all over it. :'''Kelsey''': That's impossible. :'''Tiffany''': He got it at Walmart. Security camera footage showed him buying it just days before the murder. Funny. He doesn't look like a murderer to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Feminine wiles can be a tricky thing. When a woman uses love to get what she wants, she can easily turn a love-struck man into a dangerous weapon. Problem is, like any weapon, sometimes it can be turned against us. Unfortunately for Professor Kelsey Williams, she taught Chaz everything she knows. ===''Killer Instinct''=== :'''Lilith''': Davis Bennett just discovered that lethal things often come in pretty packages. But the lesson cost him his life. In this case, looks really can kill. As for Lauren Coleston, well, she's also about to learn something, which is that the life of a professional assassin is just as much about receiving pain as it is about dispensing it. ===''Bad Science''=== :'''Lilith''': We look in mirrors every day. The reflection back shows us what other people see. But it takes more than a mirror to see inside our souls. Matilda West has always been a force of nature, the type of woman who'll never back down from a challenge or take no for an answer. A woman who'll do almost anything to survive. But even someone as beautiful and brilliant and tough as Matilda will eventually meet her match in this world or the other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dark Matilda West''': If everyone here is as naive as the three of you... in a few years, I'm gonna be running this dimension. ''[chuckles]'' ===''Family Business''=== :'''Lilith''': It was once said that love means never having to say that you're sorry. Apparently, the copywriter that coined the trite phrase has never actually been in love. For in fact, anyone who's ever been in love knows love means always having to say that you're sorry. Devlin Grant is a man who's about to be sorrier than he ever dreamed, and get more than he bargained for, in a battle in which the spoils of victory may very well be his own soul. ===''Jail Break''=== :'''Lilith''': Remember Rafe Daniels? He works as a prison guard at the Cuesta Verde women's penitentiary. Most of the guards there have a reputation worse than the inmates they're supposed to be watching. But not Rafe. No; Rafe has a warm heart and a burning desire for true love. Unfortunately, it's hard to meet a girl you can take home to mother, when you work in a prison. It's definitely not a singles mixer. And the last time Rafe tried romancing a girl at work, well, let's just say he wound up with a real backstabber. One would've thought, after all that drama, Rafe would've learned his lesson. Oh, but it's not easy to ignore what the heart wants. And given all the evidence, stolen money, a gun, and at least one very dead body, well, one might assume that he is under the spell of yet another femme fatale. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rafe Daniels''': Dear Warden Jefferies, it has been an honor working for you at the Cuesta Verde Women's Correctional Facility for the last four years. However, recent events have taken such an emotional toll on me; I have decided it would be in my best interest to take a break from this line of work, at least temporarily. So it is with a heavy heart that I submit this letter of resignation, effective immediately. I will always have the utmost respect for you, sir, and wish you and your family only the best. Sincerely, Rafe Daniels. ===''Crazy Mary''=== :'''Lilith''': Poor Mary Mason. She's just can't seem to catch a break. All she wants is her old life back. With a happy home and a man that loves her and keep her safe and warm. Oh, but there is no safety when you're a lamb in a den full of wolves. Especially when everybody thinks that you're crazy. You may think things couldn't get any worse for our little daydreamer. Well, that's where you'd be wrong. Here at the Cuesta Verde Institute for the criminally insane, things are about to get, for the lack of a better word, a little nuts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': Looks like Crazy Mary's adventures are just beginning. If you should ever happen to cross her path, I suggest you be very, very nice to her. ===''One Man's Death''=== :'''Lilith''': Todd Voight is a very lucky man. Successful, handsome and loved by two beautiful women. But tonight his luck runs out. He leaves two women mourning his death and discovering his secrets. All of his secrets. ===''Hell Hath No Furies''=== :'''Lilith''': ''[in a Christmas outfit]'' It looks like Lydia Gonzales's pleas for mercy have gone unheeded. Lydia did try and warn the judge that El Jefe could reach her, no matter where she would hide, and now, her warning is about to be proven all too true. It appears that Lydia Gonzales and the men and women of Cuesta Verde Precinct 13 are about to have a very, very bad Christmas. ''[chuckles]'' ===''Libra''=== :'''Lilith''': It could be argued that there is a fine line between fantasy and reality. Dimitri Uzi Olesky just won his war against the Ryan mob. Oh, and he paid a very heavy price to do it. But all's fair in love and war, and for now, he is the undisputed crime boss of Cuesta Verde. Ironically, boss Olesky will pay for his sins, but retribution will come from a place he least expects it, for in the end, the scales of justice always tip one way or another. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max Bailey''': Where am I, lady? :'''Libra''': The name's not "Lady". It's Libra. :'''Max''': Okay, nice to meet you, um... Libra. My name is Max– :'''Libra''': Max Bailey. I know. I've had Olesky's place under surveillance for weeks. :'''Max''': Are you a cop? :'''Libra''': You never know. But mostly just a concerned citizen. Same as you. :'''Max''': That's the first time anyone's ever called me that. :'''Libra''': Your father worked for Olesky. They were partners until Olesky cut him out of the business. When your father started to talk, Olesky had him killed. ''[removes her mask]'' You want revenge... just like I do. But instead of wearing a mask, you're helping the police. You're looking for Olesky's mole in Special Investigations. :'''Max''': Yeah; Do you know who that is? :'''Libra''': ''[removes her utility belt and drops it on the floor]'' Not yet. :'''Max''': Look, I need to report in. Tomorrow night Olesky's having a sit-down with the other bosses. :'''Libra''': That's right. ''[removes her evening gloves]'' I plan on being there. :'''Max''': Who are you? I mean, nobody names their kid "Libra". :'''Libra''': We're on the same team, Max. We just wear different uniforms. ''[stares Max in the face]'' Do I frighten you? :'''Max''': Isn't that the idea? :'''Libra''': There's a reason you should be frightened of me. ''[removes her costume and reveals her body to Max]'' Before, I was just a woman. But gangsters aren't scared by women. They use them, exploit them, manipulate them. But Libra... she's a symbol. Someone that they can't bribe, scare or seduce. And the scales of justice always tip in Libra's favor. But right now, I'm not Libra. I'm just a woman. :'''Max''': You're beautiful. :'''Libra''': Thank you, Max Bailey. ''[kisses Max on the lips]'' So what do you know about Libras? Hmm? :'''Max''': Ask me later. :'''Libra''': Uh-huh. :'''Max''': I'm still learning. :'''Libra''': Yeah? Well... for one, we loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity. But we believe in compassion and compromise. :'''Max''': Doesn't sound like you. :'''Libra''': You know what else? We like to be touched. :'''Max''': Oh. :'''Libra''': That leg isn't gonna give you trouble now, is it? :'''Max''': No, I'll manage. :'''Libra''': That's what I thought. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': You thought I wouldn't know where you were going? :'''Libra''': You shouldn't be here. :'''Max''': Neither should you. Being anywhere near Olesky right now is a very bad idea. :'''Libra''': Yeah, and you need to let me be. Let me take him down. :'''Max''': Are you trying to get yourself killed? You try and get in there, and you're dead. Libra is a fictional comic book character. Somehow, I don't think the author based his stories on your real-life exploits. You're not Libra. :'''Libra''': He let my mother die. Some kidnappers took her for some easy score. They tried to ransom her back. $5 million. They wanted $5 million. Pocket change for my father. He told them to go screw themselves. Refused to pay a dime. Cops found her a couple of days later – raped and mutilated. We had to have a closed casket. He didn't even come to the funeral – too busy seducing one of his harlots. :'''Max''': You're Anya Olesky? :'''Libra''': No. I'm Libra. And these streets are mine. And tonight, Dimitri Olesky will pay for the blood that he has spilled. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angel Tomlin''': The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king. [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]], [[Hamlet#Act II|''Hamlet'', Act II]]. We are going to take this to Broadway. ''Shakespeare Undressed''. And then... I'd like to thank the Academy. It is such an honor to accept this award on behalf of everyone involved in ''Shakespeare Undressed''. I am especially indebted to [[w:Patrick Stewart|Sir Patrick Stewart]] for his guidance and his support. Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max''': Well, you got your revenge. I guess we both did. Now what? :'''Libra''': It's not about us anymore. There's a lot of people suffering in Cuesta Verde. People who have no one to help them. Cuesta Verde needs a symbol. A champion for the oppressed. :'''Max''': You know anyone for the job? :'''Libra''': I might. :'''Max''': That was a rhetorical question. :'''Libra''': I can't do this all by myself. I need a Robin. :'''Max''': A Robin? Your very own Boy Wonder? I don't think so. :'''Libra''': Ah, come on. You'd look hot in tights. :'''Max''': We'll see, Anya. :'''Libra''': The name's Libra, and these streets are mine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lilith''': We all wear masks – sometimes for fun and other times for disguise or protection. Some masks are steel. Some are satin. Some are silk, and some are leather. They're the faces of a stranger, but we love to try them on. Hopefully, you'll find one that is a perfect fit.

I will be making the most difficult of all origami structures; a snow monkey. :'''Jimmy''': Actually, paper folding originated in China -- :'''Cindy''': Riding a flying dragon -- :'''Jimmy''': In the second century A.D. -- :'''Cindy''': While drinking tea -- :'''Jimmy''': And was brought to Japan -- :'''Cindy''': On a ladder -- :'''Jimmy''': In the sixth century -- :'''Cindy''': IN DECEMBER! :'''Ms. Fowl''': Cindy, I didn't know you and Jimmy were doing this report together. :'''Cindy:''' We're ''not!'' ===''Normal Boy''=== :'''Cindy''': Neutron, why don't you just go to college and leave us all alone. :''[The students chatter in agreement as Principal Willoughby walks in the classroom]'' :'''Principal Willoughby''': Good news, everyone, Jimmy Neutron's state test scores were the highest in world history.

''[softly]'' That's precious cargo. :'''Jimmy''': I liked your project, Libby. :'''Libby''': Ah!

I like shiny! :'''Carl and Sheen''': It worked! :'''Jimmy''': Hey, have you guys seen my loopy dance? ''[singing]'' I'm loopy, I'm loopy, I'm loopy, loopy, loopy… :'''Carl''': You know, this new Jimmy seems kinda stupid. :'''Sheen''': Yeah, he's really messed up.

''[She and Libby laugh.]'' :'''Jimmy''': NO!!.. I mean...yes! I present to you... my latest neutronic invention ... ''[Presents three pieces of miniature books]'' Book Gum. Why read a book when you can just chew the book instead? :'''Sheen''': Wow, Jimmy, chewing a book. :'''Jimmy''': Sheen, you don't actually chew a book. See, I reduced the contents of different books to gum form. You chew it, and you know it. ''[He gives some gum to Sheen, who chews it.]'' :'''Sheen''': Yuck! Tastes... fishy. ''[starts quoting from [[w:Moby-Dick|Moby-Dick]]]'' "Call me Ishmael. Starbuck, it's the great white whale! I'll get you, Moby Dick!" :'''Cindy''': Give me a piece of that.

It would be very dangerous to eat more than one at a time. :''[Carl selects a piece.]'' :'''Carl''': Mmm... ''William Shakespeare''. :'''Jimmy''': That might just be a little ''strong'' for you, Carl. :'''Carl''': ''[quotes Romeo's monologue from [[Romeo and Juliet]], during which Cindy rolls her eyes in amazement]'' "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand that I might touch that cheek." <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I have miscalculated its not about superior intellect is all about manipulating emotions with shallow unscrupulous behavior. Goddard, options! '''"Take tap dancing lessons."''' Jimmy Neutron doesn't dance, Goddard. '''"Go back in time and tell Cindy you will lose the contest."''' Goddard, whose kind of side are you on?! '''"Build a better salesman."''' Yeah. If I can't be a better salesman, I'll create a better salesman!

He will ''not'' take "no" for an answer. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': It's the good life, gentlemen.

Ooh...

Not this time. :'''Hugh and Judy''': Oh, good. :'''Jimmy''': Goddard? ''[Goddard opens up a projection PowerPoint presentation with his mouth]'' As you know, research tells us the nuclear family of two or more progeny produces a higher happiness quotient than does a solo child family. :'''Hugh''': Who wants to see the salt and pepper dance? :'''Jimmy''': Oh, maybe I'll just cut to the chase. Mom, Dad, I want a little brother. :''[Hugh spits out his drink after hearing this]'' :'''Judy''': ''[surprised]'' Jimmy! :'''Hugh''': Jimbo! Baby making is very…complicated, believe me… :'''Jimmy''': Dad, Dad, it's not complicated, really. It's basically conception, right…? :'''Hugh''': ''[covers his ears]'' ♪ La-la-la-la ♪ :'''Judy''': Hugh, Hugh! ''[to Jimmy]'' Sweetie, a new baby just isn't in the cards right now. :'''Jimmy''': But, Mom, if the glandular timeline closes… :'''Hugh''': That's enough. Okay, I want pie. Anyone else want pie? I want pie. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Well, if the parental units won't provide me with a sibling, I'll just have to take matters into my own hands. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Brobot!

Don't forget to write. ===''The Big Pinch''=== :'''Jimmy''': ''[sarcastic]'' Oh, I forgot about the ever popular mud-powered radio. :'''Cindy''': And I forgot about your mud-powered brain! :'''Thomas Edison''': Woo! That hovercar's a piece of work! :'''Jimmy''': Thank you, Mr. Edison. You know, I achieved the upward thrust using strautium nitium-crusted fuel rods and titanium valuves. :'''Thomas Edison''': Are you done? It's not that great, okay? <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Make with the option. '''"Convince town that electricity's overrated."''' No. '''"Change name and flee country."''' Possibly. '''"Break up Edison and Ms. Fowl."''' That's it! If I can break them up, Edison won't have any reason to stay here. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': ''[mimicking Edison]'' Hey, you mangy canine, get away from there. ''[Goddard barks; normal voice]'' Fooled you. It's just me, Goddard. See, I installed a voice transformer inside this walkie-talkie. Observe. ''[mimicking Edison]'' Whip-diddly-doo, everybody. Pretty good, huh? Now open wide, boy. ''[Goddard whines]'' Aw, Goddard, this is going to help me break up Edison and Ms. Fowl. Now, come on pretend it's a nice, crunchy lug nut. ''[Goddard eats the speaker and belches]'' Good boy. Good boy. Now here's the plan… ===''Granny Baby''=== :'''Hugh''': All right, Jimbo, now listen. We're going to be staying at the Wild Animal Land in Dead Zebra Carcass suite. Don't tell your mother. It's gonna be a big surprise. :'''Judy''': Oh, and Jimmy, Granny Neutron's coming over while we're gone. :'''Jimmy''': Aw, Mom. Don't you remember my theorem proving mathematically, I don't need anyone to watch me? :'''Hugh''': No, Jim-jam, she's not watching you, you're watching ''her.'' :'''Judy''': Besides, you can keep each other company. Now, remember, we're counting on you to watch out for her. :'''Hugh''': Oh, and don't conduct anymore experiments on her, Jimbo. :'''Judy''': At her age, the last thing you want is excitement. :''[A taxi screeches to a stop in front of the Neutron residence with Granny driving]'' :'''Granny''': Told you I could get here from the airport in under fifty cents. ''[laughs]'' :'''Hugh''': Mom! :'''Judy''': Oh, Mother Neutron. :'''Jimmy''': Hi, Granny. :'''Granny''': Jimmy, you tote my clothes. Hugh…you carry my pills, syrups, salves serums, girdles, ointments, medical devices, and miscellaneous supports. <hr width=50%> :''[Jimmy's lab; Jimmy and Goddard watch Granny on the computer monitor, talking to a Jimmy dummy standee]'' :'''Jimmy''': Age is a cruel, cruel thing, Goddard. In a short 65 years, you completely lose your ability to tell when people want you to stop talking. :'''Granny''': ''[on monitor]'' And forget Preparation H. I've made it all the way to Preparation X. ''[laughs]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[realizing]'' Wait a second. If I made her young again, I'd bet she'd stop complaining. But I promised Mom and Dad I wouldn't experiment on Granny…especially after that time I made her magnetic. ''[chuckles]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': ''[takes out the flask]'' She's awfully old. I hope this is enough. :''[Living room; Granny sits across from the Jimmy Dummy, trying to open a lid of a small bottle, as the real Jimmy enters with the Tonic behind his back]'' :'''Granny''': Good morning. ''[points to the dummy standee]'' I was just telling you over there about my deviated spatchum. On cold mornings it rattles like the Tin Man throwing up a hoagie full of wood screws. :'''Jimmy''': What's in the bottle? :'''Granny''': Tongue De-Furrer. Your tongue gets furry when you're old. Sometimes I wake up it has chewing on it. :'''Jimmy''': Let me open that for you. ''[takes the bottle and pours the tonic in the bottle, and turns back to Granny]'' I think you'll feel much better and quieter after you drink this. :'''Granny''': ''[Drinks it and smacks her lips distastefully]'' Tastes funny. Of course, what do I know – after sixty your sense of taste completely disapp- ''[the medicine then ends up transforming her into a baby]'' :'''Jimmy''': Granny?! :'''Granny Baby''': Goo-goo-ga-gee. :'''Jimmy''': Uh-oh. Granny? :'''Granny Baby''': I feel great! Did I just take my morphine? :'''Jimmy''': Uh… No, Granny. Well, you're… You're sort of, uh… baby. :'''Granny Baby''': ''[as Goddard holds up a mirror, looking at her reflection]'' Holy fiber caps, I'm topless! :'''Jimmy''': Oh, man, this isn't good. Where'd you get the diaper? :'''Granny Baby''': I was already wearing it. ''[breaks wind in her diaper]'' Ooh… I need my diadey changed! :'''Jimmy''': Problem. Goddard, change diaper. :''[Goddard hacks in disgust]'' :'''Granny Baby''': Change me, NOW! :'''Jimmy''': Who can change a diaper? ''[Goddard displays '''"A Nurse"''' on his screen]'' I don't know any nurses. ''[Goddard's screen then displays '''"Your Mother"''']'' No way. I love and respect Mom far too much to let her know, I, disobeyed her. ''[Goddard's screen displays '''"Cindy"'''; looks out the window, seeing Cindy across the street running a garage sale in the driveway with Libby]'' Uh-uh, no way! I will never ever ask Cindy for a favor! :'''Granny Baby''': ''[breaks wind in her diaper again]'' Clean my poopy! :'''Jimmy''': Okay, let's go ask Cindy for a favor. Shall we? <hr width=50%> :'''Sheen''': Do you have any other Ultra Lord collectibles? :'''Cindy''': No. Pay and leave. :'''Sheen''': Any Ultra Lord videos? :'''Cindy''': No. :'''Sheen''': DVDs? :'''Cindy''': No. :'''Sheen''': CD-ROMs? :'''Cindy''': No. :'''Sheen''': TV episodes… :'''Cindy''': NO! :'''Sheen''': What about the discolored pajamas you get at the swap meet? :'''Cindy''': NO! Do I look like the kind of pathetic self-diluted dweeb case who'd have anything about Ultra Lord?! :'''Sheen''': No. You look more like a regular kind of pathetic self-diluted dweeb case. <hr width=50%> :''[Jimmy picks up bottles of DANGEROUS CHEMICALS (labeled as such); Cindy looks at a shelf, carrying Granny, who holds a rattle]'' :'''Granny Baby''': I'm bored! Make a funny face and let me hit you with a rattle. :'''Cindy''': No.''[Granny Baby cries.]'' Okay, okay! ''[Cindy does a funny face and Granny Baby hits her in a face with her rattle.]'' :'''Granny Baby''': It's fun hitting you. Ha ha ha ha! :'''Jimmy:''' ''[whispering]'' Granny Granny quiet. :'''Guy:''' Did that baby just talk? :'''Jimmy:''' No. Ha ha, why? Everyone know babies can't talk. :'''Granny Baby:''' ''[To People]'' That's right. 'Cos if we could the Videotubbies’d became the subway, it’d make their head aerials spin. Ha ha ha ha! :''[The people gasp. Jimmy and Cindy running from the clamoring mob.]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': ''[gives Jimmy the antidote in a baby bottle]'' Here. Anything else you'd like? Your slippers in a pipe maybe? :''[Jimmy feeds Granny Baby the antidote in a baby bottle, reverting her back to her old self as Jimmy's parents arrive in the nick of time]'' :'''Judy''': Hello, honey. How was everything? :'''Jimmy''': Oh, hi, Mom! Nothing unusual here, just me and Granny obeying all your rules. Yes, ma'am, that's what we're doing. <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': Well, I'd love to stay and help you narrowly avoid even more consequences of your stupid actions but it looks like Libby and I have a date with some enchilada burritos. :'''Jimmy''': It's nice to have you back, Granny. :'''Granny''': So nice to be back, Jimmy. ''[chuckles]'' :'''Carl''': Hey, Jim, I'm really thirsty. Does your mom have any lemonade? :'''Granny''': ''[gives Carl the antidote baby bottle]'' Drink this! :'''Jimmy''': NO! ''[Carl drinks the antidote, turning himself into an old man]'' Carl? You okay? :'''Old Carl''': Well, my eyes hurt, my hair is gone, and I have powerful urge to dance badly. :'''Granny''': I'll take a piece of that. ===''Time Is Money''=== :'''Sheen''': I like the part about the medulla oblongata. I don't know what it means, but I love the way it sounds! ''[waves his UltraLord action figure at Carl]'' Back or I will slay thee you with my medulla oblongata! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': ''[after watching the commercial of the Encyclopedia of Infinite Knowledge]'' Wow! Did you guys see that?! There's never been an encyclopedia like that ever! I gotta have it. :'''Sheen''': That's so crazy, because I ''so'' don't want it. :'''Jimmy''': Sorry, guys. I gotta go talk to my mom, right now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': Ugh, gee, Goddard. It's not fair. Wish I could go back in time and convince him to invest in… ''[gets an idea]'' That's it. If we go back in time, I can convince Dad to invest in McSpanky's, and then, we'll have ''all'' the money we'll ever need! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Judy''': ''[about Sheen & Carl]'' And what are they doing here? The big one is odd and the thin one is a weirdo. :'''Carl''': Hey, you can't insult us like that! :'''Hugh''': ''[tosses Carl and Sheen a gold brick]'' Here you go, get yourself something nice. :'''Sheen''': Sure they can! ''[turns to Carl]'' Let's go, odd guy! :'''Carl''': ''[snorts]'' You got it, weirdo! ===''Raise the Oozy Scab''=== :'''Jimmy''': Two centuries ago, a pirate ship named, the ''Oozy Scab,'' hit a squall and sunk to the bottom of Retroville Bay with a mysterious treasure chest. No sub could ever get deep enough to retrieve it until today. ''I'm'' finding that treasure. :'''Cindy''': Listen, Neutron. I'm not any happier about being lab partners than you are so let's just classify some seashells and get it over with. :'''Jimmy''': Darn it all, Cindy! I wish I could join you in your fascinating seashell project, but I've already planned a dangerous search for a shipwreck in my extremely cramped submarine. :'''Cindy''': Okay, I'm in. <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': What kind of dunderhead would want to talk to a bunch of stupid fish? :'''Carl''': I wanna talk to fish! I wanna talk to fish!! ''[snatches the microphone out of Jimmy's hand and sees a fish]'' Oh, hey there, little fella! Do you like Fish Snack 'Ems? They're made from fish like you, only chopped up into little bite sized pieces and deep fried in burning oil! ''[the fish screams and swims away]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': ''[about Jimmy]'' Throw him in the brig! :'''Jimmy''': It'll take a lot more than ravenous hunger to turn my men against me! ''[puts fists on hips and stands proudly]'' Tell her, boys! :'''Sheen''': I'll get some rope! :'''Carl''': I'll hold him down! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Don't worry. Despite your ''muteness'' behavior, you'll all still get a cut of the treasure. :''[At school, Miss Fowl's classroom; the treasure chest is filled with pieces of saltwater taffy while Jimmy hits his head against it in disappointment]'' :'''Miss Fowl''': This is the most delicious saltwater taffy I've ever tasted, children. Your project wins an A-plus! :'''Cindy''': You know, Jimmy, I hear each one of these pieces of taffy is worth over three cents. :'''Jimmy''': I don't wanna talk about it. ''[resumes hitting his head]'' ===''I Dream of Jimmy''=== :'''Jimmy''': Carl, you're asleep. This is a dream. :'''Carl''': Don't be silly. If this was a dream, could I do… ''[pulls a brain out from his head]'' this? :'''Jimmy''': That's the only time you ''can'' do it! Carl, you're asleep, there are llamas in the classroom! Libby rowed to school with a plastic leg!! :'''Carl''': Her paddle broke. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jimmy''': ''[observing Carl's genius state in his dream]'' When Carl's asleep, he dreams he's a genius like me. :'''Cindy''': Like you?

You almost got me killed by a legume! ''[sees the Lima bean monster creeping up behind Sheen]'' Sheen, don't move. There's a giant man-eating Lima bean monster behind you. :'''Sheen''': Ha! You guys. I haven't believed in that since I was, like, seven. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jimmy''': Uh, hey, Carl, you won't tell anyone about that awful, desperate thing I had to do to wake you up, will ya? :'''Carl''': Of course not, Jimmy. :'''Cindy''': ''[shows up angrily and walks to Jimmy]'' Not even in ''his'' dreams, Neutron!

Must… ''[grunts as he tries to take his shoes off]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Can't just keep running around and around forever. Wait a minute, "running around!" That's it! If I could spin around fast enough, my mass will become less dense, and in theory, I could slip right out of my shoes. Or…I could end up a gelatinous mess splattered all over the ground. ''[gulps]'' I really hope it's the first one. <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': ''[burying her face in her hands in embarrassment]'' I have never been so embarrassed in all my life, and in front of Nick. :'''Libby''': Cheer up, girl.

I, Jimmy Neutron, am a complete gabble headed dipstick! :'''Jimmy/Cindy''': But not as big a dipstick as you are, Ms. Fowl! And if I don't get a month's worth of detention for that, you are even dumber than you look! :'''Cindy/Jimmy''': How many detentions is ''this'' worth, "Ms. Fowl-breath?" <hr width=50%> :'''Libby''': Jimmy? Cindy? Are you finally back in your own bods again? :'''Cindy/Jimmy''': No! 'Cause it's all Neutron's fault! :'''Jimmy/Cindy''': My fault?

You're only putting down Nick because despite all your logic you're just as scared of the Phantom as everyone else. :'''Nick''': No kid who goes to Retroland after midnight has ever been seen again. <hr width=50%> :'''Carl''': "Dear, Jimmy. I can't come with you tonight, as I have decided to join the French Foreign Legion.

How did you sneak out? :'''Sheen''': Oh, I just told my grandma that I had to go to a deserted theme park to be eaten by a maniac. She told me to wear clean underwear. <hr width=50%> :'''Sheen''': I wonder what order he'll eat us in. :'''Jimmy''': He's kidding, Carl. No one's going to eat us. ''[checks the time on his wrist watch]'' Three, two one, midnight! Hah! We did it! We took a hypothesis, constructed a scientific protocol, and conclusively proved it false. Take that, Nick and all your ilk! :'''Carl''': You know what I smell, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': Victorious truth rising above the ashes of superstition? :'''Carl''': No. ''[turns around, pointing to something]'' Salami. ''[Camera zooms out to reveal the Phantom standing in front the boys; screams]'' :'''Jimmy''': Stand your ground! It's obviously a trick. :'''Sheen''': Could you sign this, "To Sheen. With admiration and affection," please? :''[Goddard barks at the Phantom while defending the boys, only for the Phantom to growl at him again]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[as the Phantom chases them to pendulum ride]'' He's not real!

It could be a special Father-Son day. :'''Hugh''': That's a great idea! I used to have those with my Aunty all the time! Only we called them Aunty-Nephew days, but it's probably the same basic, uh, idea. We could go to the park, we could, uh… eat cheese! We could even go to Retroland! I love those zig-zaggy lines! They're so … not … straight. :'''Judy''': ''[sighs]'' Oh, Hugh. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Brain blast! Carl, hand me that hamster trail. Sheen, get my magnifying ray.

Goddard, hit it! :''[Goddard plays town-saving music]'' ===''Safety First''=== :'''Sheen''': Hey, Jimmy, I've been meaning to ask you something. :'''Jimmy''': I know, I know. Why am I carrying two lunches? Because of that bully Terry Finster! This way, after he steals mine, I still have something to eat! :'''Sheen''': Actually, I was going to ask you who would win in a fight between Big Foot and a Komodo Dragon, but your question's good too. <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': ''[to Jimmy]'' Just got a phone call from Terry's mom! Did you two have a little spat-a-roo? :'''Judy''': Hugh, the talk? :'''Hugh''': ''[clears throat]'' Once upon on time, a boy sparrow said to a girl sparrow, "Hey, nice feathers! Can I buy you some millet?" Well, the girl sparrow… :'''Jimmy''': You know what, dad?

All citizens report to the park immediately to defend the town! <hr width=50%> :'''Principal Willoughby''': Stop them before they're nice again! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Mom, Dad, you can't honestly believe the Yolkians aren't evil anymore just 'cause they brought us presents. :'''Judy''': But such ''lovely'' presents, dear. Hugh, look at my new diamond earrings again. :'''Hugh''': Still beautiful. You see, Jim-Jim, evil spaceniks are people just like you and me, and like people, they deserve a second chance, especially the ones with huge bags of gifts. :'''Jimmy''': Well, the sooner they go back to Yolkus, the better, if you ask me. :'''King Goobot''': ''[flushes the toilet as he exits the bathroom]'' Hello, Neutrons. How are my three humanoid life forms doing? :'''Jimmy''': Mom! What's '''''he''''' doing here?! :'''Judy''': Didn't you tell him, Hugh? :'''Hugh''': ''[realizes]'' Nope. Must've slipped my mind. Jimbo, say hello to our new houseguest—- King Goobot! :'''Jimmy''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! Time out, here! We're letting an evil alien ''live'' in our house?! :'''Hugh''': Now, Jimbo, don't be rude. The Yokians are friendly now. They've even offered to fill in for all of us at our humdrum jobs for as long as we want. :'''Jimmy''': Mom, say something! :'''Judy''': How do you like your steak cooked, Mr. Goobot? :'''King Goobot''': Cooked?! Oh, uh, I mean, however you like it, my good woman. <hr width=50%> :'''Ms. Fowl''': Good morning, children. Starting today, I'm taking an indefinite holiday. So say hello to your substitute teacher: Ooblar! :'''Jimmy''': What?! :'''Ooblar''': Thank you, old one. :'''Ms. Fowl''': Thank you for the motorcycle. Ciao! ''[dashes away]'' :'''Ooblar''': Well, won't this be fun? I just know we're going to have a wonderful time getting to know each other. :'''Carl''': Um, Mr. Ooblar, may I go to the bathroom? :'''Ooblar''': WHY?! So you can plot a rebellion by passing notes through the sewers and rally the town to battle?! ''[all the students look at him]'' Uh… forget I said that. ''[laughs]'' I meant, of course you may. :'''Carl''': Actually, I kind of don't have to go anymore. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Oh, what's the point of having a state-of-the-art laboratory if it won't help you prove Yolkians are evil? :''[Goddard plays a recording of King Goobot's voice]'' :'''King Goobot''': ''[recorded]'' Good people of Earth, there's no cause of alarm. We come in peace. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, good idea, Goddard. If we scan Goobot's words through your lie-detector, we can see if he's telling the truth. Hit it, boy! ''[Goddard scans Goobot's words on his lie-detector drive and the screen displays '''"False"''']'' Oh, no! They're just as evil as ever! Only this time they've come down to get us. Come on, we've gotta warn the others! ''[exits his clubhouse and runs to the back door, finding a note]'' What's this? Let's see. '''"Dear Jimmy, we went to the park to see the giant egg. Love, Mom and Dad."''' Giant egg? ''[gasps in horror]'' POULTRA! <hr width=50%> :'''Carl''': JIMMY PLUCKS A HAIR AND HOLDS IT UP TO THE DNA SCANNER NEXT TO THE CLUBHOUSE DOOR!! ''[inhales]'' '''HIS COMPUTER'S NAME IS VOX!!!''' ''[scarfs down the sundae]'' :'''Sheen''': I am ''deeply'' ashamed of you, Carl. And quit eating all the nuts! :'''Cindy''': Thanks, boys. Let's do this again sometime. <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': I'm worried about Jimmy, Hugh. He's alienated everyone in town with all this talk of evil Yolkians. :'''Hugh''': D'oh, you know boys. It's probably just a phase, like…collecting bugs or eating soup with your hands. I hear Jimbo's over this whole "evil" Yolkian thing by now. :'''Jimmy''': ''[runs into the kitchen]'' Mom, Dad, the Yolkians are planning on feeding the ''entire'' town to Poultra at today's picnic! :'''Hugh''': ''[spits out his drink]'' I stand corrected. :'''Judy''': What are you talking about Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': They're transporting Poultra's water dish down from deep space. That means Poultra's not far behind! Whatever you do, ''don't'' go to the picnic today. :'''Hugh''': We're still going, right? :'''Judy''': Wouldn't miss it. <hr width=50%> :'''Libby''': Okay, that concludes the boring and annoying portion of the program. Our next act… :'''Cindy''': ''[runs up on the stage and takes microphone out of Libby's hand]'' Wait! I think Jimmy's telling the truth! :'''Jimmy and Libby''': You do? :'''Cindy''': Yes! While I have no idea how the Yolkians could possibly have gotten into Jimmy's lab… Well, the point is, we owe Jimmy! Who saved us when hostile pants were on the loose in the streets? Who repelled the giant flaming meteor headed straight for town? Who risked his life to shrink Ms. Fowl down to size when she was 50 feet tall? Okay, I know. All of those things were Neutron's fault in the first place, but he ''still'' risked his life to save us! The least we owe him is our trust! :'''Sam''': You know, the annoying blonde girl has a point. :'''Man''': Eh, she usually hates Jimmy. :'''Ms. Fowl''': Well, Jimmy ''did'' save me from being a giant freak woman. :'''Libby''': Give it up for Jimmy! ''[the crowd cheers for him]'' We believe in you, Jimmy! :'''Principal Willoughby''': Now, wait just a minute. I'm not believing a word Jimmy says until I have some decent credible evidence. ''[Poultra roars in distance]'' Works for me. :''[The townspeople start to run but a Yolkian pushes a button, closing the gates, trapping them]'' :'''Miss Fowl''': Sweet muffins, we're trapped! :''[Poultra's water dish is released from under the stage]'' :'''Hugh''': ''[as the Yolkians release Poultra's water dish]'' Hey, look! Jimmy's wrong again. The nice Yolkians built us a swimming pool. :'''Judy''': Hugh, that's Poultra's water dish! <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': Neutron, if there were ever a time to put that big, freak brain to work, it's now! :'''Libby''': We're counting on you! :'''Jimmy''': OK! OK! Think, think, think… ''[tries to, but it was too late]'' '''''I CAN'T DO IT!!!!!''''' ''[crying]'' CINDY, YOU GOTTA HELP ME! I'M SORRY I WAS LEADER! I'LL NEVER GET US OUTTA HERE! ''[screams loudly]'' '''''HELP!!!!!''''' :'''Cindy''': ''[slaps Jimmy in the face]'' Get a grip, Neutron! We still have time to focus somehow… I think. First things first! Estevez, you come with me! We gotta distract Poultra together! Folfax, Wheezer, and Neutron! Keep that monster busy! ===''Maximum Hugh''=== :'''Jimmy''': If Dad competes, we lose for sure. Goddard, options. '''"Accept your father's limitations."''' Nah, too mature. '''"Pretend you're sick."''' I'm no quitter. '''"Cheat."''' Hmm…cheating would be dishonest, but I'm far to blinded by my desire to destroy Cindy to care. To the lab! :''[Goddard's screen displays '''"Here we go again."''']'' <hr width=50%> :'''Mr. Wheezer''': We won! And not a single injury! ''[drops the trophy]'' :'''Carl''': Oh, my foot! :'''Mr. Wheezer''': Oh, my back! :'''Carl & Mr. Wheezer''': ''[crash into each other]'' Ow! My head! :'''Mr. Wheezer''': Oh, I think I got a bone spur. :'''Carl''': Ooh! Leg cramp! :'''Mr. Wheezer''': My kidneys are on FIRE! ''[faints]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': Now, remember, son - there's no "I" in "team," you know what I mean? :'''Jimmy''': You mean we should sublimate our differences for the good of our combined effort? :'''Hugh''': What? No, no, I mean there's no letter "i" in the word "team." There's never a wrong time for a spelling lesson, son! ===''Sleepless in Retroville''=== :'''Hugh''': I remember my first sleepover. The games, the practical jokes, the crying for my mommy. :'''Judy''': Hugh, that was our honeymoon. :'''Hugh''': Yeah, I know. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Gentlemen, welcome to what I expect to be the greatest sleepover in history. :'''Sheen''': Yeah! I baked galactic marshmallow balls from the Ultra Lord recipe book. :'''Carl''': And I brought a video of "Larry the Lovesick Llama"! :'''Jimmy''': You know, I have something you guys'll enjoy even more. Behold the Slumbertron 9000, designed to throw the ultimate sleepover party. It provides the world's greatest made-to-order pizza, tells super scary stories, and supplies the perfect pillows for ultimate pillow fights! :'''Sheen''': Turn it on! Turn it on! Pizza, pillows, scary stories! :'''Jimmy''': Hey, hey, hey. Easy, Sheen. One thing at a time. This is the Slumbertron's maiden voyage. I suggest we begin with…the pillow fight. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I'm hungry. How about some pizza? :'''Carl''': You read my stomach. :'''Sheen''': I want pepperoni and garlic and onions and anchovies… :'''Carl''': And peanut butter and clams and hot fudge. ''[Jimmy and Sheen look at him awkwardly over what he said]'' Don't knock it till you try it. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, okay, one ultimate pizza coming up. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I believe the time has come for scary stories. :'''Carl''': Well, okay, but, um…not too scary, Jimmy, 'cause remember what happened ''[whispers]'' the last time when I got too scared? :'''Sheen''': Hey, did you bring your rubber sleeping bag? :'''Carl''': Yes. :'''Sheen''': Then what's the problem? Make it scream-your-head-off scary. :'''Jimmy''': One scream-your-head-off scary story coming up. :'''Carl''': ''[getting scared]'' It's just a story, it's just a story, it's just a story. :'''Dr. Dark''': Good evening. I am Dr. Dark, teller of terrible tales. :'''Sheen''': Hold up. Do mean terrible like lousy, or terrible like scary? :'''Dr. Dark''': ''SCARY!'' :'''Sheen''': ''[frightened]'' Got it. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': The Slumbertron must've combined the pizza and scary story programs to create… :'''Carl''': A PIZZA MONSTER! :'''Jimmy''': I can't delete the pizza! The screen's frozen! :'''Pizza Monster''': Time for my dinner! :''[The boys run away, screaming]'' :'''Carl''': HELP! WE'RE BEING CHASED BY A MONSTER! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Mission accomplished. :'''Sheen''': If only it used its anchovies for good instead of evil. :'''Carl''': I'm starving. Let's eat! :'''Pizza Monster''': Fools! Haven't you ever heard of sequels? :'''Jimmy''': ''[after a nightmare]'' Oh, it was only a nightmare. An anchovy, clam and peanut butter induced nightmare. ''[sees his parents running down the stairs until Hugh wakes up screaming]'' :'''Hugh''': Whew! That was a doozy. :''[After Carl wakes up from a nightmare screaming from mutant pizza]'' :'''Carl''': Bad dream! Bad dream! ''[sees Sheen getting attacked by Pizza Monster]'' :'''Sheen''': ''[screams]'' Phew. I guess it was all just a dream. Hey Carl, I-- ''[But Carl is nowhere to be seen. He picks up Pizza Monster in two hands, making the Pizza Monster terrified.]'' :''[After the Pizza Monster wakes up from a nightmare screaming.]'' :'''Pizza Monster's Wife''': Honey, what is it? :'''Pizza Monster''': Oh, I had the most horrible dream. There were 3 terrible children, a tubby one, a maniac one and one with a giant head! :'''Pizza Monster's Wife''': I told you, dear. There's no such thing as children, now go back to sleep. :''[Both go back to sleep in their pizza box beds.]'' ===''Make Room for Daddy-O''=== :'''Jimmy:''' I ''have'' to bring back the old Dad, and I've gotta do it fast! :'''Sheen:''' I smell a Brain Blast!<br> :'''Carl:''' Oh, is that what that is? ''[snorts]'' I thought it might be the cheese ball I've been carrying around since I was 3. ''[He shows a rotten cheese ball.]'' I call him Cheesy. :''[Jimmy makes a face, then begins thinking.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' Think, think, think…! :''[A memory of Hugh catching Jimmy is shown.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' Brain Blast! :'''Sheen:''' Told ya. ''[Eats Carl's cheese ball]'' ===''Beach Party Mummy''=== :'''Jimmy''': Oh, sorry, Carl. I couldn't bring your goldfish back to life. :'''Carl''': ''[sniffles sadly]'' Goodbye, Swimmy. I'll miss you, boy. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Jimmy''': Now I thought re-stimulating his brain waves with my new Electro-Life device would bring him back. But I guess not. :'''Sheen''': Jimmy, we might have a pop quiz today. Can I stimulate ''my'' brain? :'''Jimmy''': No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miss Fowl''': Today, we will watch part one of Ken Burns' 97-hour documentary on the history of mummies. :'''Cindy''': Yawn. I'd rather chew off my own foot. :'''Libby''': ''[whispering]'' No, I wanna check this out. My family tree goes back to Egypt. Mummies are cool. :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[inserts the tape in the VCR]'' Butch, would you get the lights? :'''Butch''': Sure thing, teach. ''[pulls out a slingshot and shatters the lights off]'' :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[hand in face]'' Thank you. :'''Jimmy''': I don't wanna see videos of mummies. I wanna see ''real'' mummies! :'''Carl''': Oh, I don't. They might rise from the dead and attack us! :''[Miss Fowl presses a button on the remote, turning on the TV; As the documentary starts, she and all her other students quickly start to fall asleep]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[looks at a colored drawing of Egypt]'' What am I doing sitting here? I'm a science genius. ''[turns around to his friends]'' Who's up for a quick trip to Egypt? :'''Cindy''': What could be more boring than going with you to Egypt? ''[after for a second; makes up her mind]'' Let's roll. :''[The kids tip-toe quietly out of the classroom and into the hallway]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[quietly]'' I'll go home and get my hover car and meet you guys in back of the school. :'''Carl''': But, what if we get caught? :'''Sheen''': We're not gonna get caught. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Guys, we can't leave school! It's ditching, and it'll go on our permanent record! :'''Sheen''': Carl, how many times do I have to tell you? Your permanent record is just a myth. Like the Loch Ness Monster or North Dakota. :'''Jimmy''': ''[arrives in his hover car]'' All aboard for Egypt! :'''Libby''': Did you guys know I'm related to Cleopatra? :'''Cindy''': No. Why don't you tell for the ten-millionth time? :'''Sheen''': I'm related to the guy that invented baseball. :'''Libby''': What? :'''Carl''': Wow. :'''Cindy''': Really? :'''Sheen''': Oh, wait, did I say baseball? I meant spray-on-eyebrows. :'''Jimmy''': Light speed to Egypt! :'''Cindy''': This better not be like the time you took us to the center of the earth and all we found was a bunch of hot dirt. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on, guys. This is going to be a great adventure. We're going to find the lost tomb of Queen Hazabataslapya. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Jimmy…I've been saying, "Toot Van Halen" for 3 hours. Can I stop now? :'''Cindy''': Way to go, Neutron. You haven't found anything. I'd rather be in school. :'''Jimmy''': ''[disappointed]'' I don't understand it. I can't seem to find the lost tomb. :'''Cindy''': Duh! That's why the call it the "lost tomb," not the, here-it-is tomb: "come inside and have a milkshake." :'''Carl''': Oh, Swimmy loved milkshakes. :'''Libby''': Let's go home. I need to apply some emergency skincare products. :'''Cindy''': And so ends another chapter of the boring and stupid adventures of Jimmy Neutron. :'''Jimmy''': But, guys, we're here in an exotic, distant, foreign land. We might as well have some fun. :'''Cindy''': Fun? Yeah, right. Let's have a party in this beautiful spot. :'''Jimmy''': Party? :'''Sheen''': Uh, Jimmy? Where's the bathroom? All I see is sand, and I'm not a cat. :'''Jimmy''': Sand? Yeah! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': Let's have an Egyptian Beach Party! :'''Sheen''': I'm in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': All my life I wanted to go an authentic Egyptian Beach Party! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Libby''': Jimmy, what's happening? :'''Jimmy''': The increased air friction has created a high-intensity displacement of the ground covering… :'''Cindy''': Cut to the chase. :'''Jimmy''': SANDSTORM! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': Okay Neutron, once again you blew it, big time… ''[Jimmy gasps in surprise at something with his jaw dropped]'' Hey, Jumblehead, I'm yelling at you. ''[snaps her fingers]'' Pay attention. What are you looking at? :'''Jimmy''': ''[turns her head]'' The entrance to the lost tomb of the Queen Hazabataslapya. :'''Sheen''': You think there's a bathroom in there? :'''Jimmy''': ''[pushing the tomb's doors open]'' We shall now enter the lost tomb and see what has been unseen for 3,000 years. :'''Cindy''': Shouldn't we like, call National Geographic or Harvard? :'''Libby''': Or [[w: Harrison Ford|Harrison Ford]]? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Okay, are things gonna like, jump out at us and scare us? :'''Sheen''': ''[jumps out from the side, scaring him]'' No, Carl. Everything here is dead. :'''Carl''': Oh, that's good, 'cause… Dead things?! ''[points to a skeleton]'' Uh, I'm allergic to dead things! :'''Jimmy''': Don't worry, Carl. Nothing's going to hurt you. :''[The kids turn around and gasp at something shocking on the wall]'' :'''Cindy''': I don't believe it. :'''Sheen''': It can't be. :'''Jimmy''': But it ''is.'' :'''Carl''': IT'S… :''[The wall shows a hieroglyphic image of Queen Hazabataslapya, who looks similar to Libby as Jimmy and Sheen turn to her before cutting to commercial break; cut back to the kids in the tomb]'' :'''Jimmy''': It's Queen Hazabataslapya! :'''Sheen''': Smokin'. I'd be her king in Retroville minute. :'''Cindy''': She looks just like… ''[points to Libby]'' :'''Carl''': Me? :'''Libby''': No. Me. :'''Sheen''': Wow, Libby. Maybe she's your great-great-great-great-great… ''[as time passes by]'' great-great-great grandmother! :'''Libby''': I'm royalty. :'''Cindy''': Oh, boy, here we go. Queen Libby is in the house. :'''Libby''': Hey. Maybe this whole place belongs to me. I can turn it into a hot little dance club/restaurant/boutique/water park/… :'''Carl''': Hey, Jimmy. ''[pointing to the hieroglyphics]'' Somebody wrote on the walls. ''[gasps]'' They're gonna get in trouble. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, Carl. Those are hieroglyphics. The ancient Egyptian art of picture writing. :'''Sheen''': Hey, I saw this in "Ultra Lord vs. the Mutant Pus-Spitting Mummy." I can read this stuff. :'''Cindy''': Yeah, right. :'''Sheen''': "The queen flew on the wings of an eagle. She had a VCR, but wanted a DVD, and the gods sent munchkins to hypnotize her water-skis. So she took her peanut butter sandwich for a walk." The end. :'''Carl''': Wow, Sheen, that was amazing! :'''Cindy and Libby''': Oh, boys. :'''Jimmy''': Excuse me. My watch has a Sanskrit-to-English translator with a Rosetta stone upgrade. ''[scans the hieroglyphics on his watch]'' The queen was only 18 when she died. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Jimmy''': "Whosoever disturbs my resting place, shall endure eternal punishment, and pain shall erupt from every poor, and their screams shall be heard down the centuries and-" :'''Cindy''': ''[interrupting]'' Get to the point, Doofus of Arabia. :'''Jimmy''': It's just a silly curse. And there's no such thing as curses. :'''Carl''': Oh, so they're like the Loch Ness Monster and North Dakota. :'''Sheen''': Hey, guys-- I think I found the bathroom. It ''smells'' like a bathroom. I wish I had one of those deodorizer things you hang in the car from the rear-view mirror. :'''Carl''': Lemon or strawberry? :'''Sheen''': Thanks, Carl. Hey, why do you carry those around with you? :'''Carl''': …'Cause. :'''Jimmy''': Follow me. :'''Carl''': Oh, I bet something really bad's gonna happen. :'''Cindy''': With Nerdtron leading the way, it's a pretty safe bet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Principal Willoughby''': ''[realizing]'' Hold on. We don't have a school tanning salon. :''[Cut to the kids in an empty chamber in the lost tomb]'' :'''Sheen''': I for one am deeply disappointed. It's just a big empty room. :'''Jimmy''': Well, the pyramid designers sometimes build ''hundreds'' of empty chambers to confuse grave robbers. So they wander aimlessly for days until they… :'''Cindy''': ''[interrupting]'' You got ten seconds to get outta here. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Spice jars! If we can gather up enough kaffir lime leaves and dry mustard powder, I can ignite them and blow the door open! :'''Sheen''': Where do you learn all this stuff, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': That I learned at the library. :'''Sheen''': Ohh. And the library is a…? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': Okay, this field trip is over. How are you gonna get us out of here, Mr. Tour Guide? :'''Jimmy''': ''[spooky]'' We don't want to get out of here. :'''Sheen''': Okay, Jimmy's lost it. I elect myself leader. Everybody start crying and yelling. :'''Jimmy''': ''[just before they do that]'' No, guys. Look. The queen's burial chamber. Get ready to see a ''real, live'' mummy. :'''Sheen''': Hey, Jimmy. Was the queen gonna have a garage sale? :'''Jimmy''': The Egyptians believed in an afterlife, so they preserve their bodies and buried them with their furniture, jewelry, pets… :'''Sheen''': ''[laughing]'' Man. Those Egyptians were a bunch of whack jobs. But just in case they're right, I'd like to be buried with my Ultra Lord collection. :'''Carl''': Well, guys, this was fun. ''[laughs nervously]'' Okay, let's all leave in a quite and orderly fashion before we see something ''really'' scary, like… ''[turns around to see…]'' MUMMIES! ''[runs and bumps into Jimmy, who drops the torch and the light goes out]'' :'''Jimmy''': Everybody, shh! Stand still, I'll find my torch. ''[accidentally touches Cindy]'' :'''Cindy''': Ow! That's ''not'' your torch. :'''Jimmy''': Sorry. :'''Carl''': Hey, Jimmy, I still got your Electro-Life thingy that makes a light. ''[activates the Electro-Life, lighting up the room, unaware by bringing the three mummies to life]'' :'''Jimmy''': Found it! ''[picks up the torch and lights it up]'' Now let's a take a look at those mummies. :''[The mummies growl and start moving their bodies]'' :'''Carl''': ''[worriedly frightened]'' J-Jimmy, the mummies are looking at ''us.'' :'''Jimmy''': Impossible. :'''Libby''': They're moving. :'''Jimmy''': I did it! My Electro-Life works! I ''can'' bring the dead back to life! :'''Sheen''': All right! You trampled all over the laws of nature! Way to go! :'''Cindy''': Yeah, terrific. Now a bunch of dead guys wrapped in toilet paper are gonna kill us. :'''Carl''': Um, guys, I suggest we… '''RUN!''' :''[The kids start running as the mummies chase them]'' :'''Sheen''': Jimmy, next time you invite me anywhere, remind me to say no. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hope there is a next time! :'''Libby''': ''[to the mummies]'' Hey, guys, I'm related to your queen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': So, this is how it ends. Playing hide and get killed in a tomb in Egypt. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Carl''': They're coming this way. ''[whispering]'' Everybody stay quiet. :'''Libby''': Uh, Jimmy, now would be a real time for one of your brain blasts. :'''Jimmy''': Think, think… Brain blast! Libby, quick, I need you. :'''Libby''': Why, Jimmy, this is so sudden! :'''Cindy''': Hey, what's goin' on? :'''Sheen''': It's the desert love curse. Working its evil ways on Jimmy's heart. :'''Jimmy''': Libby, you look like the queen. If you pretend to be her, maybe the mummies will obey your command. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Libby''': ''[to the mummies]'' I command you to sleep for 5- :'''Others''': 10! :'''Libby''': 15 trillion more years! ''[the mummies snore as they fall asleep]'' Sleep tight, and don't let the scarab bugs bite. :'''Jimmy''': Carl, give me the Electro-Life. :'''Carl''': Why, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': Some things should not see the light of day, for who am I, a mere mortal to alter the very laws of mortality. :'''Cindy''': Good thing we're in a tomb 'cause you're boring us to death. :''[Jimmy tosses the Electro-Life off aside]'' :'''Sheen''': Hey, guys! I finally found the bathroom! ''[Thump!]'' OW! Why must the good get hit on their heads again?! :''[Outside the lost tomb, the gang are all in Jimmy's hover car, about to fly back home to Retroville]'' :'''Sheen''': Farewell, cruel desert! :'''Carl''': Don't forget to write! :'''Libby''': You know, I think I'm down with this new look. I'm gonna keep it. :'''Cindy''': ''(sarcastically)'' So, do we have to address you as Queen Libby from now on? :'''Libby''': ''[giggles]'' No. ''[jokingly]'' "Your Mighty Fine Royal Marvelousness" will do. :'''Jimmy''': Light speed back to Retroville! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Miss Fowl, we're back! :'''Others''': ''[annoyed]'' Carl! :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[waking up along with Principal Willoughby]'' Where have you children been?! I want the truth. :'''Principal Willoughby''': And I'll have none of this whole "school tanning salon" mumbo-jumbo! :'''Sheen''': Uh, did I say we were going to the tanning salon? I meant, uh… the bathroom! :'''Principal Willoughby''': Oh. Well, all right, then. :'''Carl''': In Egypt. And Libby got to be a queen, and mummies chased us, and we discovered a lost tomb! ==External links== * {{imdb title|ch0033574|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius}} * [http://www.nick.com/all_nick/tv_supersites/display_show.jhtml?show_id=jim Jimmy Neutron at Nick.com] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Jimmy_Neutron:_Boy_Genius] {{DEFAULTSORT:Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, The}} [[Category:The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius seasons]] [[Category:Children's television seasons]] 547sezipc7xjzufj6yd2g7k48697v9z 3147607 3147606 2022-07-26T18:12:41Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ rm enwiki wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 1|1]] [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 2|2]] [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 3|3]] | [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|'''Main''']] ---- '''''[[w:The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]''''' is a show that ran on Nickelodeon from 2002–2006.

I thought you said 11:30. :'''Jimmy''': Well, you'd have surely been on a plane to Algeria by then, Carl. <hr width=50%> :'''Carl''': Sheen, the Phantom of Retroland is gonna tear us limb from limb and eat us! Say something! :'''Sheen''': You ever notice how Jimmy's hair is like one of those gum massager things? It's all swirly and… What?! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Glad you could make it, Sheen. How did you sneak out? :'''Sheen''': Oh, I just told my grandma that I had to go to a deserted theme park to be eaten by a maniac. She told me to wear clean underwear. <hr width=50%> :'''Sheen''': I wonder what order he'll eat us in. :'''Jimmy''': He's kidding, Carl. No one's going to eat us. ''[checks the time on his wrist watch]'' Three, two one, midnight! Hah! We did it! We took a hypothesis, constructed a scientific protocol, and conclusively proved it false. Take that, Nick and all your ilk! :'''Carl''': You know what I smell, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': Victorious truth rising above the ashes of superstition? :'''Carl''': No. ''[turns around, pointing to something]'' Salami. ''[Camera zooms out to reveal the Phantom standing in front the boys; screams]'' :'''Jimmy''': Stand your ground! It's obviously a trick. :'''Sheen''': Could you sign this, "To Sheen. With admiration and affection," please? :''[Goddard barks at the Phantom while defending the boys, only for the Phantom to growl at him again]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[as the Phantom chases them to pendulum ride]'' He's not real! He's a mythical construct! :'''Carl''': Hey, better safe than swallowed, Jimmy. Oh, he'll just climb in. :'''Jimmy''': Not if we're moving. ===''My Son, the Hamster''=== :'''Sheen''': Jimmy! You're like a hamster! Or a gerbil! Or a dolphin or something! <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': ''[to Hugh]'' Why don't you spend some quality time with Jimmy? It could be a special Father-Son day. :'''Hugh''': That's a great idea! I used to have those with my Aunty all the time! Only we called them Aunty-Nephew days, but it's probably the same basic, uh, idea. We could go to the park, we could, uh… eat cheese! We could even go to Retroland! I love those zig-zaggy lines! They're so … not … straight. :'''Judy''': ''[sighs]'' Oh, Hugh. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Brain blast! Carl, hand me that hamster trail. Sheen, get my magnifying ray. I'm gonna lure Mr. Wuggles back to the lab with the one thing no hamster can resist. <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': Hugh, that was ''not'' our son! That thing had fur, and big teeth, and whiskers! :'''Hugh''': I've been calling him, "furry Jimmy." ===''Hall Monster''=== :'''Cindy''': ''[to Jimmy]'' Okay, Neutron, you're outta control! I'm making a citizen's arrest! :'''Sheen''': I want a public defender! :'''Libby''': I... I want my music! :'''Carl''': ''[cries]'' I want my mommy! ''[whimpers and then smiles]'' And some fudge! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Carl]'' You've exceeded the number of llama stickers on your lunchbox! :'''Carl''': ''[nervously]'' I know...but I... I have a special permit. ===''Hypno Birthday to You''=== :'''Sheen:''' ''[rolls dice]'' 7! ''[chuckles]'' Your llama is sucked into a volcanic sinkhole, where flesh-eating bats will nip at his screaming face. ''[eats popcorn]'' :'''Carl:''' Sheen, there aren't any volcanic sinkholes in Llama's Day Out! :'''Sheen:''' Maybe ''that'' explains why I'm not having fun. ''[eats popcorn]'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''[Enters]'' Hi, Carl. I ran out of chemicals mid-experiment and I ''know'' you got a chemistry set for your birthday? :'''Sheen:''' ''[rolls dice]'' 11! :'''Carl:''' Hey, you can use my chemistry set, Jim. ''[He gets his Mama's Boy chemestry set down from a shelf.]'' Oh, the potato's not included. :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, that's okay. I assume it comes with a few cc's of ethyl mercaptin? :'''Carl:''' Uh... no. :'''Jimmy:''' Well, I can work around that. How about some, uh... dimercural sulfonative? :'''Carl:''' Uh... yeah...? No. :'''Jimmy:''' Tritium nitrate? :'''Carl:''' I've got salt. :'''Jimmy:''' Oh, Pukin' Pluto! How's a guy supposed to make a four-dimensional Hypercube molecule without access to the complete spectrum of inorganic chemicals?! :'''Sheen:''' Welcome to ''my'' nightmare. ''[eats popcorn]'' :''[Jimmy rolls his eyes.]'' :'''Carl:''' ''[Walks over carrying a leaflet]'' Here you go, Jimmy. Check out this leaflet from inside the box. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[reading leaflet]'' "Also try our Ultra-Deluxe model. Contains every element from aluminum to zirconium." Now, ''that's'' what I'm talkin' about! ''[suddenly blue, sighs]'' Aw, who am I kidding? I don't have any money, and my birthday's three months away. :'''Sheen:''' ''[eats popcorn]'' Ah, quit procrastinating, Carl, for I'm not -- forget it! I'm rolling for you right now! ''[rolls one die and piece of popcorn]'' 1! ''[chuckles]'' And Carl's llama falls down. Down into the sulfurous mud pit! How the snake god will be pleased! :'''Carl:''' Hey, how could you roll the one if there are two dice? :'''Sheen:''' Huh? Oh. Yeah... ''[Picks up the die and popcorn; suddenly grabs throat and chokes.]'' Someone get me the jaws of life! ===''Krunch Time''=== :'''Jimmy Android''': Morning, Mom. Be down in a minute. I love you. You're the best mom in the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Judy''': James Neutron, go to bed right now, and I mean ''you!'' Not the Jimmy Android that says nice things. :'''Jimmy''': Boy, moms are smart. Good night, Goddard. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': No more candy, no more problems. What are they gonna go? Riot? :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting angrily]'' Down with Jimmy! Down with Jimmy! Down with Jimmy! Down with Jimmy… :'''Hugh''': I can't believe I'm saying that about my own son but, that candy is just too darn good. :'''Judy''': ''[holding up a sign that says '''"We want candy now!"''']'' Don't talk! Chant! :'''Hugh''': Down with Jimmy! Down with Jimmy! :'''Jimmy''': People, listen to me! It's only candy! :'''Cindy''': I say we hold him down and force him to make us more candy! :'''Hugh''': Good idea, go for his tiny legs! CHARGE! :''[The angry mob starts charging closer to Jimmy]'' :'''Everyone''': ATTACK! :'''Jimmy''': Goddard, chopper mode! :'''Judy''': Oh, no you don't, mister! Grab him! Get him, right now! Pull him down! :'''Jimmy''': Goddard, plot a course for the most deserted place in town! <hr width="50%"> :'''Sam''': ''[as Jimmy is hiding out in the Candy Bar to avoid the mob of people]'' Well, look who's here. Mr. "I'm-going-to-invent-the-best-candy-in-the-world-and-put-the-Candy-Bar-out-of-business". :'''Jimmy''': I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to. I didn't know my candy would be that popular. :'''Sam''': That's what the guy who invented underpants said! Anyways, you better skedaddle. That angry mob's gonna be here any moment. :'''Jimmy''': How do you know that? :'''Sam''': I called them. What do you expect? I've gone broke here! ''[the angry crowd chants "Candy! Candy!" from outside the Candy Bar]'' Uh-oh. Rhythmic chanting. That's a bad sign, yeah. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, what am i gonna do? Think, think, think. ===''Substitute Creature''=== :'''Libby''': What's that supposed to be? :'''Sheen''': The rare Punching Plant of Melbore 9, as seen in UltraLord epsiode 64, "Attack of the Salad Fixin's"! :'''Libby''': Looks like a boxing glove glued to a fern, if you ask me. :'''Sheen''': Well, nobody asked you! Anyway, what have you come up with that's so wonderful? :'''Libby''': I researched plants' responses to musical stimuli. This one got two hours of classic R&B a day while this one got two hours of Yodelling to the Oldies. :'''Sheen''' ''[pointing to the one that got two hours of "Yodelling to the Oldies"]'': That one looks dead. :'''Libby''' ''[shakes her head sadly]'': It never had a chance. <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': Drop the toaster and run for it! <hr width=50%> :'''Miss Fowl''': Is that you, Ernest Abercrombie?! Where is your homework?! It's 28 years overdue! <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': If you think you're gonna be the hero here, Neutron, you are sadly mistaken. These seed pods from your plant prove that ''you'' are responsible for this whole thing. :'''Carl''': Ah, finally, dinnertime! ''[takes the seed pods out of her hand and eats them]'' :'''Cindy''': NO! :'''Carl''': Mmm, oh, these are, mmm… ''[grows giant with green skin]'' :'''Sheen''': Whoa… Carl's ''huge!'' :'''Carl''': Hey… Hey, this is kind of cool! ''[laughs]'' I can see my house from here. :'''Jimmy''': I can fix him! I just need to get another toaster! :'''Cindy''': Uh-huh. :'''Jimmy''': And you guys need to… uh, get that DNA Ray out of Ms. Fowl's stomach. Good luck, see ya, bye! :'''Libby''': We have to what? :'''Sheen''': You heard him. We have to make our teacher toss the lunch monkey. We need a bucket, an umbrella and whatever they were serving for lunch in the caferteria on Thursday! Goddard, hit it! :''[Goddard plays town-saving music]'' ===''Safety First''=== :'''Sheen''': Hey, Jimmy, I've been meaning to ask you something. :'''Jimmy''': I know, I know. Why am I carrying two lunches? Because of that bully Terry Finster! This way, after he steals mine, I still have something to eat! :'''Sheen''': Actually, I was going to ask you who would win in a fight between Big Foot and a Komodo Dragon, but your question's good too. <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': ''[to Jimmy]'' Just got a phone call from Terry's mom! Did you two have a little spat-a-roo? :'''Judy''': Hugh, the talk? :'''Hugh''': ''[clears throat]'' Once upon on time, a boy sparrow said to a girl sparrow, "Hey, nice feathers! Can I buy you some millet?" Well, the girl sparrow… :'''Jimmy''': You know what, dad? I would really love to hear the rest, but I'm having a small emergency, bye! :'''Hugh''': And when he got to her nest, he was alarmed to find out that her mother was a cantankerous old crow! :'''Judy''': Hugh! ===''Crime Sheen Investigation''=== :'''Sheen''': You've gotta help me, Jimmy! If you don't, I'll have to ask complete idiots to help me and you know how unreliable they are! <hr width=50%> :'''Sheen''': Don't feel bad, Jimmy. You tried your best. It just wasn't anywhere near good enough. ===''Journey to the Center of Carl''=== :'''Jimmy''': I know I've said this a few times before, but this is my greatest invention ever! The Neutronic Sick Patch! Guaranteed to get you out of school for the day! <hr width=50%> :''[Vortex residence; Cindy goes under acupuncture in her bathing suit covered in needles]'' :'''Mrs. Vortex''': Relax Cindy, only 678 more needles to go. :''[Wheezer residence; Mr. Wheezer has put Carl in a plastic bubble]'' :'''Mr. Wheezer''': ''[laughing]'' This is the same plastic bubble my father put me in for 14 happy years! Hey, there, Bubble Boy! :'''Mrs. Folfax''': ''[holding a jar in the center of Libby's forehead with a wasp inside]'' Relax baby, it's only a little wasp.

Carl, Sheen, sneak out and meet me in the you-know-what. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': We've reached our destination… ''[sniffs]'' the stomach. :'''Sheen:''' ''[seeing toys in the stomach acid]'' Man. ''[sniffs]'' Carl eats a lot of junk, doesn't he? Hey, Carl! You're supposed to ''play'' with the toys in The Silly Meals, not ''eat'' 'em! :'''Carl''': I know, but they always look so colorful and chewy! <hr width="50%"/> :''[As Jimmy cures everyone with vaccines, they all return to school]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[back in school]'' I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm finally glad to be going back to normal enough for school. :'''Libby''': ''[also back in school with her wasp sting in the middle of her forehead]'' Yeah! I'm never getting sick again! Plus, one little sting from that wasp really hurt! :'''Cindy''': ''[also back in school as well, but still in her swimsuit]'' "One little sting"? Try "678 needles", Folfax, ''and then talk to me about pain''! :'''Libby''': Wait a minute, Vortex. Why are you still in your bathing suit? :'''Cindy''': Oh. No reason. :'''Nick Dean''': ''[rocking back and forth, muttering helplessly]'' No more leeches, Mama, no more leeches, Mama, no more leeches, Mama. :'''Ms. Fowl''': It's so good to have you all back!

Wilderness!!''=== :'''Hugh''': What is this? Insect repellent? A compass? Toilet paper? These frilly luxuries will just weigh us down. :'''Judy''': Hugh, are you ''sure'' you know what you're doing? :'''Hugh''': Don't forget I was an Acorn Lad! I remember everything I ever learned like the song we used to sing! ''[singing]'' We are the Acorn Lads, something, something, the Acorn Lads. <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': Oh, it's no use! We're done for, and it's all my fault! The truth is, I'm a rotten camper! There, I said it. The other Acorn Lads used to dunk my head in the bug juice. I can't even make a stupid fire. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, don't worry, Dad. We'll find a way out of this. I don't care if you're a mediocre camper, I still think you're a great dad. :'''Hugh''': Thanks, son, I…I needed to hear that. :'''Sheen''': So you couldn't even make a fire. ===''Party at Neutron's''=== :'''Hugh''': Whoo-hoo! I can't believe it, Sugar-Booger! We're finally gonna get to see ''Ducks'', the greatest musical ever made! :''[Sings]'' :When you're a duck, :You're a duck all the way, :From the first time you quack :To the last egg you lay! :''[Jimmy uses his Time Accelerator on him, speeding him up.]'' :When you're a duck :You will live in a blind. :With a little or long orange, :It's a fresh melon rind! :Du-u-u-u-u-u-ucks! :The Musical. :''[Jimmy winks at the camera.]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': Let's get a move on, puddin'.

I got the first season of ''Teenage Ultra Lord'' on DVD, with 162 awesome hours of bonus features and deleted scenes! :'''Carl''': Yeah. In one exciting episode, the actors flub their lines with hilarious results. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, sorry, guys, I can't. My parents are out and I can't have anybody over. :'''Sheen''': Your parents are gone? You're home alone? They won't be back till Ultra Lord knows when? Let's get ready to boogie! :'''Jimmy''': No, Sheen, seriously. I signed a legal document. :'''Sheen''': But think of the fun, the laughs, the excitement, the joy, the memories. <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': ''[holding Jimmy's shrink ray at Carl]'' Hey, Wheezer.

Hugh, look at my new diamond earrings again. :'''Hugh''': Still beautiful. You see, Jim-Jim, evil spaceniks are people just like you and me, and like people, they deserve a second chance, especially the ones with huge bags of gifts. :'''Jimmy''': Well, the sooner they go back to Yolkus, the better, if you ask me. :'''King Goobot''': ''[flushes the toilet as he exits the bathroom]'' Hello, Neutrons.

Oh, uh, I mean, however you like it, my good woman. <hr width=50%> :'''Ms. Fowl''': Good morning, children. Starting today, I'm taking an indefinite holiday.

''[dashes away]'' :'''Ooblar''': Well, won't this be fun? I just know we're going to have a wonderful time getting to know each other. :'''Carl''': Um, Mr. Ooblar, may I go to the bathroom? :'''Ooblar''': WHY?! So you can plot a rebellion by passing notes through the sewers and rally the town to battle?! ''[all the students look at him]'' Uh… forget I said that. ''[laughs]'' I meant, of course you may. :'''Carl''': Actually, I kind of don't have to go anymore. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Oh, what's the point of having a state-of-the-art laboratory if it won't help you prove Yolkians are evil? :''[Goddard plays a recording of King Goobot's voice]'' :'''King Goobot''': ''[recorded]'' Good people of Earth, there's no cause of alarm.

''[Goddard scans Goobot's words on his lie-detector drive and the screen displays '''"False"''']'' Oh, no! They're just as evil as ever! Only this time they've come down to get us.

Let's do this again sometime. <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': I'm worried about Jimmy, Hugh. He's alienated everyone in town with all this talk of evil Yolkians. :'''Hugh''': D'oh, you know boys. It's probably just a phase, like…collecting bugs or eating soup with your hands. I hear Jimbo's over this whole "evil" Yolkian thing by now. :'''Jimmy''': ''[runs into the kitchen]'' Mom, Dad, the Yolkians are planning on feeding the ''entire'' town to Poultra at today's picnic! :'''Hugh''': ''[spits out his drink]'' I stand corrected. :'''Judy''': What are you talking about Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': They're transporting Poultra's water dish down from deep space.

Whatever you do, ''don't'' go to the picnic today. :'''Hugh''': We're still going, right? :'''Judy''': Wouldn't miss it. <hr width=50%> :'''Libby''': Okay, that concludes the boring and annoying portion of the program. Our next act… :'''Cindy''': ''[runs up on the stage and takes microphone out of Libby's hand]'' Wait! I think Jimmy's telling the truth! :'''Jimmy and Libby''': You do? :'''Cindy''': Yes! While I have no idea how the Yolkians could possibly have gotten into Jimmy's lab… Well, the point is, we owe Jimmy! Who saved us when hostile pants were on the loose in the streets? Who repelled the giant flaming meteor headed straight for town? Who risked his life to shrink Ms. Fowl down to size when she was 50 feet tall? Okay, I know. All of those things were Neutron's fault in the first place, but he ''still'' risked his life to save us! The least we owe him is our trust! :'''Sam''': You know, the annoying blonde girl has a point. :'''Man''': Eh, she usually hates Jimmy. :'''Ms. Fowl''': Well, Jimmy ''did'' save me from being a giant freak woman. :'''Libby''': Give it up for Jimmy! ''[the crowd cheers for him]'' We believe in you, Jimmy! :'''Principal Willoughby''': Now, wait just a minute. I'm not believing a word Jimmy says until I have some decent credible evidence.

I'll miss you, boy. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Jimmy''': Now I thought re-stimulating his brain waves with my new Electro-Life device would bring him back. But I guess not. :'''Sheen''': Jimmy, we might have a pop quiz today. Can I stimulate ''my'' brain? :'''Jimmy''': No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miss Fowl''': Today, we will watch part one of Ken Burns' 97-hour documentary on the history of mummies. :'''Cindy''': Yawn. I'd rather chew off my own foot. :'''Libby''': ''[whispering]'' No, I wanna check this out. My family tree goes back to Egypt. Mummies are cool. :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[inserts the tape in the VCR]'' Butch, would you get the lights? :'''Butch''': Sure thing, teach. ''[pulls out a slingshot and shatters the lights off]'' :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[hand in face]'' Thank you. :'''Jimmy''': I don't wanna see videos of mummies.

It's ditching, and it'll go on our permanent record! :'''Sheen''': Carl, how many times do I have to tell you? Your permanent record is just a myth. Like the Loch Ness Monster or North Dakota. :'''Jimmy''': ''[arrives in his hover car]'' All aboard for Egypt! :'''Libby''': Did you guys know I'm related to Cleopatra? :'''Cindy''': No. Why don't you tell for the ten-millionth time? :'''Sheen''': I'm related to the guy that invented baseball. :'''Libby''': What? :'''Carl''': Wow. :'''Cindy''': Really? :'''Sheen''': Oh, wait, did I say baseball? I meant spray-on-eyebrows. :'''Jimmy''': Light speed to Egypt! :'''Cindy''': This better not be like the time you took us to the center of the earth and all we found was a bunch of hot dirt. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on, guys. This is going to be a great adventure. We're going to find the lost tomb of Queen Hazabataslapya. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Jimmy…I've been saying, "Toot Van Halen" for 3 hours. Can I stop now? :'''Cindy''': Way to go, Neutron. You haven't found anything. I'd rather be in school. :'''Jimmy''': ''[disappointed]'' I don't understand it. I can't seem to find the lost tomb. :'''Cindy''': Duh! That's why the call it the "lost tomb," not the, here-it-is tomb: "come inside and have a milkshake." :'''Carl''': Oh, Swimmy loved milkshakes. :'''Libby''': Let's go home. I need to apply some emergency skincare products. :'''Cindy''': And so ends another chapter of the boring and stupid adventures of Jimmy Neutron. :'''Jimmy''': But, guys, we're here in an exotic, distant, foreign land. We might as well have some fun. :'''Cindy''': Fun? Yeah, right. Let's have a party in this beautiful spot. :'''Jimmy''': Party? :'''Sheen''': Uh, Jimmy? Where's the bathroom? All I see is sand, and I'm not a cat. :'''Jimmy''': Sand? Yeah! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': Let's have an Egyptian Beach Party! :'''Sheen''': I'm in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': All my life I wanted to go an authentic Egyptian Beach Party! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Libby''': Jimmy, what's happening? :'''Jimmy''': The increased air friction has created a high-intensity displacement of the ground covering… :'''Cindy''': Cut to the chase. :'''Jimmy''': SANDSTORM! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': Okay Neutron, once again you blew it, big time… ''[Jimmy gasps in surprise at something with his jaw dropped]'' Hey, Jumblehead, I'm yelling at you. ''[snaps her fingers]'' Pay attention. What are you looking at? :'''Jimmy''': ''[turns her head]'' The entrance to the lost tomb of the Queen Hazabataslapya. :'''Sheen''': You think there's a bathroom in there? :'''Jimmy''': ''[pushing the tomb's doors open]'' We shall now enter the lost tomb and see what has been unseen for 3,000 years. :'''Cindy''': Shouldn't we like, call National Geographic or Harvard? :'''Libby''': Or [[w: Harrison Ford|Harrison Ford]]? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Okay, are things gonna like, jump out at us and scare us? :'''Sheen''': ''[jumps out from the side, scaring him]'' No, Carl. Everything here is dead. :'''Carl''': Oh, that's good, 'cause… Dead things?! ''[points to a skeleton]'' Uh, I'm allergic to dead things! :'''Jimmy''': Don't worry, Carl. Nothing's going to hurt you. :''[The kids turn around and gasp at something shocking on the wall]'' :'''Cindy''': I don't believe it. :'''Sheen''': It can't be. :'''Jimmy''': But it ''is.'' :'''Carl''': IT'S… :''[The wall shows a hieroglyphic image of Queen Hazabataslapya, who looks similar to Libby as Jimmy and Sheen turn to her before cutting to commercial break; cut back to the kids in the tomb]'' :'''Jimmy''': It's Queen Hazabataslapya! :'''Sheen''': Smokin'. I'd be her king in Retroville minute. :'''Cindy''': She looks just like… ''[points to Libby]'' :'''Carl''': Me? :'''Libby''': No. Me. :'''Sheen''': Wow, Libby. Maybe she's your great-great-great-great-great… ''[as time passes by]'' great-great-great grandmother! :'''Libby''': I'm royalty. :'''Cindy''': Oh, boy, here we go. Queen Libby is in the house. :'''Libby''': Hey. Maybe this whole place belongs to me. I can turn it into a hot little dance club/restaurant/boutique/water park/… :'''Carl''': Hey, Jimmy. ''[pointing to the hieroglyphics]'' Somebody wrote on the walls. ''[gasps]'' They're gonna get in trouble. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, Carl. Those are hieroglyphics. The ancient Egyptian art of picture writing. :'''Sheen''': Hey, I saw this in "Ultra Lord vs. the Mutant Pus-Spitting Mummy." I can read this stuff. :'''Cindy''': Yeah, right. :'''Sheen''': "The queen flew on the wings of an eagle. She had a VCR, but wanted a DVD, and the gods sent munchkins to hypnotize her water-skis. So she took her peanut butter sandwich for a walk." The end. :'''Carl''': Wow, Sheen, that was amazing! :'''Cindy and Libby''': Oh, boys. :'''Jimmy''': Excuse me. My watch has a Sanskrit-to-English translator with a Rosetta stone upgrade. ''[scans the hieroglyphics on his watch]'' The queen was only 18 when she died. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Jimmy''': "Whosoever disturbs my resting place, shall endure eternal punishment, and pain shall erupt from every poor, and their screams shall be heard down the centuries and-" :'''Cindy''': ''[interrupting]'' Get to the point, Doofus of Arabia. :'''Jimmy''': It's just a silly curse. And there's no such thing as curses. :'''Carl''': Oh, so they're like the Loch Ness Monster and North Dakota. :'''Sheen''': Hey, guys-- I think I found the bathroom. It ''smells'' like a bathroom. I wish I had one of those deodorizer things you hang in the car from the rear-view mirror. :'''Carl''': Lemon or strawberry? :'''Sheen''': Thanks, Carl. Hey, why do you carry those around with you? :'''Carl''': …'Cause. :'''Jimmy''': Follow me. :'''Carl''': Oh, I bet something really bad's gonna happen. :'''Cindy''': With Nerdtron leading the way, it's a pretty safe bet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Principal Willoughby''': ''[realizing]'' Hold on. We don't have a school tanning salon. :''[Cut to the kids in an empty chamber in the lost tomb]'' :'''Sheen''': I for one am deeply disappointed. It's just a big empty room. :'''Jimmy''': Well, the pyramid designers sometimes build ''hundreds'' of empty chambers to confuse grave robbers. So they wander aimlessly for days until they… :'''Cindy''': ''[interrupting]'' You got ten seconds to get outta here. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Spice jars! If we can gather up enough kaffir lime leaves and dry mustard powder, I can ignite them and blow the door open! :'''Sheen''': Where do you learn all this stuff, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': That I learned at the library. :'''Sheen''': Ohh. And the library is a…? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': Okay, this field trip is over. How are you gonna get us out of here, Mr. Tour Guide? :'''Jimmy''': ''[spooky]'' We don't want to get out of here. :'''Sheen''': Okay, Jimmy's lost it. I elect myself leader. Everybody start crying and yelling. :'''Jimmy''': ''[just before they do that]'' No, guys. Look. The queen's burial chamber. Get ready to see a ''real, live'' mummy. :'''Sheen''': Hey, Jimmy. Was the queen gonna have a garage sale? :'''Jimmy''': The Egyptians believed in an afterlife, so they preserve their bodies and buried them with their furniture, jewelry, pets… :'''Sheen''': ''[laughing]'' Man. Those Egyptians were a bunch of whack jobs. But just in case they're right, I'd like to be buried with my Ultra Lord collection. :'''Carl''': Well, guys, this was fun. ''[laughs nervously]'' Okay, let's all leave in a quite and orderly fashion before we see something ''really'' scary, like… ''[turns around to see…]'' MUMMIES! ''[runs and bumps into Jimmy, who drops the torch and the light goes out]'' :'''Jimmy''': Everybody, shh! Stand still, I'll find my torch. ''[accidentally touches Cindy]'' :'''Cindy''': Ow! That's ''not'' your torch. :'''Jimmy''': Sorry. :'''Carl''': Hey, Jimmy, I still got your Electro-Life thingy that makes a light. ''[activates the Electro-Life, lighting up the room, unaware by bringing the three mummies to life]'' :'''Jimmy''': Found it! ''[picks up the torch and lights it up]'' Now let's a take a look at those mummies. :''[The mummies growl and start moving their bodies]'' :'''Carl''': ''[worriedly frightened]'' J-Jimmy, the mummies are looking at ''us.'' :'''Jimmy''': Impossible. :'''Libby''': They're moving. :'''Jimmy''': I did it! My Electro-Life works! I ''can'' bring the dead back to life! :'''Sheen''': All right! You trampled all over the laws of nature! Way to go! :'''Cindy''': Yeah, terrific. Now a bunch of dead guys wrapped in toilet paper are gonna kill us. :'''Carl''': Um, guys, I suggest we… '''RUN!''' :''[The kids start running as the mummies chase them]'' :'''Sheen''': Jimmy, next time you invite me anywhere, remind me to say no. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hope there is a next time! :'''Libby''': ''[to the mummies]'' Hey, guys, I'm related to your queen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': So, this is how it ends. Playing hide and get killed in a tomb in Egypt. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Carl''': They're coming this way. ''[whispering]'' Everybody stay quiet. :'''Libby''': Uh, Jimmy, now would be a real time for one of your brain blasts. :'''Jimmy''': Think, think… Brain blast! Libby, quick, I need you. :'''Libby''': Why, Jimmy, this is so sudden! :'''Cindy''': Hey, what's goin' on? :'''Sheen''': It's the desert love curse. Working its evil ways on Jimmy's heart. :'''Jimmy''': Libby, you look like the queen. If you pretend to be her, maybe the mummies will obey your command. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Libby''': ''[to the mummies]'' I command you to sleep for 5- :'''Others''': 10! :'''Libby''': 15 trillion more years! ''[the mummies snore as they fall asleep]'' Sleep tight, and don't let the scarab bugs bite. :'''Jimmy''': Carl, give me the Electro-Life. :'''Carl''': Why, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': Some things should not see the light of day, for who am I, a mere mortal to alter the very laws of mortality. :'''Cindy''': Good thing we're in a tomb 'cause you're boring us to death. :''[Jimmy tosses the Electro-Life off aside]'' :'''Sheen''': Hey, guys! I finally found the bathroom! ''[Thump!]'' OW! Why must the good get hit on their heads again?! :''[Outside the lost tomb, the gang are all in Jimmy's hover car, about to fly back home to Retroville]'' :'''Sheen''': Farewell, cruel desert! :'''Carl''': Don't forget to write! :'''Libby''': You know, I think I'm down with this new look. I'm gonna keep it. :'''Cindy''': ''(sarcastically)'' So, do we have to address you as Queen Libby from now on? :'''Libby''': ''[giggles]'' No. ''[jokingly]'' "Your Mighty Fine Royal Marvelousness" will do. :'''Jimmy''': Light speed back to Retroville! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Miss Fowl, we're back! :'''Others''': ''[annoyed]'' Carl! :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[waking up along with Principal Willoughby]'' Where have you children been?! I want the truth. :'''Principal Willoughby''': And I'll have none of this whole "school tanning salon" mumbo-jumbo! :'''Sheen''': Uh, did I say we were going to the tanning salon? I meant, uh… the bathroom! :'''Principal Willoughby''': Oh. Well, all right, then. :'''Carl''': In Egypt.

On cold mornings it rattles like the Tin Man throwing up a hoagie full of wood screws. :'''Jimmy''': What's in the bottle? :'''Granny''': Tongue De-Furrer. Your tongue gets furry when you're old. Sometimes I wake up it has chewing on it. :'''Jimmy''': Let me open that for you.

Anyway, what have you come up with that's so wonderful? :'''Libby''': I researched plants' responses to musical stimuli. This one got two hours of classic R&B a day while this one got two hours of Yodelling to the Oldies. :'''Sheen''' ''[pointing to the one that got two hours of "Yodelling to the Oldies"]'': That one looks dead. :'''Libby''' ''[shakes her head sadly]'': It never had a chance. <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': Drop the toaster and run for it! <hr width=50%> :'''Miss Fowl''': Is that you, Ernest Abercrombie?! Where is your homework?! It's 28 years overdue! <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': If you think you're gonna be the hero here, Neutron, you are sadly mistaken. These seed pods from your plant prove that ''you'' are responsible for this whole thing. :'''Carl''': Ah, finally, dinnertime! ''[takes the seed pods out of her hand and eats them]'' :'''Cindy''': NO! :'''Carl''': Mmm, oh, these are, mmm… ''[grows giant with green skin]'' :'''Sheen''': Whoa… Carl's ''huge!'' :'''Carl''': Hey… Hey, this is kind of cool!

I just need to get another toaster! :'''Cindy''': Uh-huh. :'''Jimmy''': And you guys need to… uh, get that DNA Ray out of Ms. Fowl's stomach. Good luck, see ya, bye! :'''Libby''': We have to what? :'''Sheen''': You heard him. We have to make our teacher toss the lunch monkey. We need a bucket, an umbrella and whatever they were serving for lunch in the caferteria on Thursday! Goddard, hit it! :''[Goddard plays town-saving music]'' ===''Safety First''=== :'''Sheen''': Hey, Jimmy, I've been meaning to ask you something. :'''Jimmy''': I know, I know. Why am I carrying two lunches? Because of that bully Terry Finster! This way, after he steals mine, I still have something to eat! :'''Sheen''': Actually, I was going to ask you who would win in a fight between Big Foot and a Komodo Dragon, but your question's good too. <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': ''[to Jimmy]'' Just got a phone call from Terry's mom! Did you two have a little spat-a-roo? :'''Judy''': Hugh, the talk? :'''Hugh''': ''[clears throat]'' Once upon on time, a boy sparrow said to a girl sparrow, "Hey, nice feathers! Can I buy you some millet?" Well, the girl sparrow… :'''Jimmy''': You know what, dad? I would really love to hear the rest, but I'm having a small emergency, bye! :'''Hugh''': And when he got to her nest, he was alarmed to find out that her mother was a cantankerous old crow! :'''Judy''': Hugh! ===''Crime Sheen Investigation''=== :'''Sheen''': You've gotta help me, Jimmy! If you don't, I'll have to ask complete idiots to help me and you know how unreliable they are! <hr width=50%> :'''Sheen''': Don't feel bad, Jimmy. You tried your best. It just wasn't anywhere near good enough. ===''Journey to the Center of Carl''=== :'''Jimmy''': I know I've said this a few times before, but this is my greatest invention ever! The Neutronic Sick Patch!

Carl, Sheen, sneak out and meet me in the you-know-what. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': We've reached our destination… ''[sniffs]'' the stomach. :'''Sheen:''' ''[seeing toys in the stomach acid]'' Man. ''[sniffs]'' Carl eats a lot of junk, doesn't he? Hey, Carl!

I'm never getting sick again! Plus, one little sting from that wasp really hurt! :'''Cindy''': ''[also back in school as well, but still in her swimsuit]'' "One little sting"? Try "678 needles", Folfax, ''and then talk to me about pain''! :'''Libby''': Wait a minute, Vortex. Why are you still in your bathing suit? :'''Cindy''': Oh. No reason. :'''Nick Dean''': ''[rocking back and forth, muttering helplessly]'' No more leeches, Mama, no more leeches, Mama, no more leeches, Mama. :'''Ms. Fowl''': It's so good to have you all back!

Wilderness!!''=== :'''Hugh''': What is this? Insect repellent? A compass? Toilet paper? These frilly luxuries will just weigh us down. :'''Judy''': Hugh, are you ''sure'' you know what you're doing? :'''Hugh''': Don't forget I was an Acorn Lad! I remember everything I ever learned like the song we used to sing! ''[singing]'' We are the Acorn Lads, something, something, the Acorn Lads. <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': Oh, it's no use! We're done for, and it's all my fault! The truth is, I'm a rotten camper! There, I said it. The other Acorn Lads used to dunk my head in the bug juice. I can't even make a stupid fire. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, don't worry, Dad. We'll find a way out of this. I don't care if you're a mediocre camper, I still think you're a great dad. :'''Hugh''': Thanks, son, I…I needed to hear that. :'''Sheen''': So you couldn't even make a fire. ===''Party at Neutron's''=== :'''Hugh''': Whoo-hoo! I can't believe it, Sugar-Booger! We're finally gonna get to see ''Ducks'', the greatest musical ever made! :''[Sings]'' :When you're a duck, :You're a duck all the way, :From the first time you quack :To the last egg you lay! :''[Jimmy uses his Time Accelerator on him, speeding him up.]'' :When you're a duck :You will live in a blind. :With a little or long orange, :It's a fresh melon rind! :Du-u-u-u-u-u-ucks! :The Musical. :''[Jimmy winks at the camera.]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': Let's get a move on, puddin'.

I got the first season of ''Teenage Ultra Lord'' on DVD, with 162 awesome hours of bonus features and deleted scenes! :'''Carl''': Yeah. In one exciting episode, the actors flub their lines with hilarious results. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, sorry, guys, I can't. My parents are out and I can't have anybody over. :'''Sheen''': Your parents are gone? You're home alone? They won't be back till Ultra Lord knows when? Let's get ready to boogie! :'''Jimmy''': No, Sheen, seriously. I signed a legal document. :'''Sheen''': But think of the fun, the laughs, the excitement, the joy, the memories. <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': ''[holding Jimmy's shrink ray at Carl]'' Hey, Wheezer.

We're being invaded by Yolkians! All citizens report to the park immediately to defend the town! <hr width=50%> :'''Principal Willoughby''': Stop them before they're nice again! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Mom, Dad, you can't honestly believe the Yolkians aren't evil anymore just 'cause they brought us presents. :'''Judy''': But such ''lovely'' presents, dear. Hugh, look at my new diamond earrings again. :'''Hugh''': Still beautiful. You see, Jim-Jim, evil spaceniks are people just like you and me, and like people, they deserve a second chance, especially the ones with huge bags of gifts. :'''Jimmy''': Well, the sooner they go back to Yolkus, the better, if you ask me. :'''King Goobot''': ''[flushes the toilet as he exits the bathroom]'' Hello, Neutrons. How are my three humanoid life forms doing? :'''Jimmy''': Mom! What's '''''he''''' doing here?! :'''Judy''': Didn't you tell him, Hugh? :'''Hugh''': ''[realizes]'' Nope. Must've slipped my mind. Jimbo, say hello to our new houseguest—- King Goobot! :'''Jimmy''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! Time out, here! We're letting an evil alien ''live'' in our house?! :'''Hugh''': Now, Jimbo, don't be rude. The Yokians are friendly now. They've even offered to fill in for all of us at our humdrum jobs for as long as we want. :'''Jimmy''': Mom, say something! :'''Judy''': How do you like your steak cooked, Mr. Goobot? :'''King Goobot''': Cooked?! Oh, uh, I mean, however you like it, my good woman. <hr width=50%> :'''Ms. Fowl''': Good morning, children. Starting today, I'm taking an indefinite holiday. So say hello to your substitute teacher: Ooblar! :'''Jimmy''': What?! :'''Ooblar''': Thank you, old one. :'''Ms. Fowl''': Thank you for the motorcycle. Ciao! ''[dashes away]'' :'''Ooblar''': Well, won't this be fun? I just know we're going to have a wonderful time getting to know each other. :'''Carl''': Um, Mr. Ooblar, may I go to the bathroom? :'''Ooblar''': WHY?! So you can plot a rebellion by passing notes through the sewers and rally the town to battle?! ''[all the students look at him]'' Uh… forget I said that. ''[laughs]'' I meant, of course you may. :'''Carl''': Actually, I kind of don't have to go anymore. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Oh, what's the point of having a state-of-the-art laboratory if it won't help you prove Yolkians are evil? :''[Goddard plays a recording of King Goobot's voice]'' :'''King Goobot''': ''[recorded]'' Good people of Earth, there's no cause of alarm. We come in peace. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, good idea, Goddard. If we scan Goobot's words through your lie-detector, we can see if he's telling the truth. Hit it, boy! ''[Goddard scans Goobot's words on his lie-detector drive and the screen displays '''"False"''']'' Oh, no! They're just as evil as ever! Only this time they've come down to get us. Come on, we've gotta warn the others! ''[exits his clubhouse and runs to the back door, finding a note]'' What's this? Let's see. '''"Dear Jimmy, we went to the park to see the giant egg.

''[inhales]'' '''HIS COMPUTER'S NAME IS VOX!!!''' ''[scarfs down the sundae]'' :'''Sheen''': I am ''deeply'' ashamed of you, Carl. And quit eating all the nuts! :'''Cindy''': Thanks, boys. Let's do this again sometime. <hr width=50%> :'''Judy''': I'm worried about Jimmy, Hugh. He's alienated everyone in town with all this talk of evil Yolkians. :'''Hugh''': D'oh, you know boys. It's probably just a phase, like…collecting bugs or eating soup with your hands. I hear Jimbo's over this whole "evil" Yolkian thing by now. :'''Jimmy''': ''[runs into the kitchen]'' Mom, Dad, the Yolkians are planning on feeding the ''entire'' town to Poultra at today's picnic! :'''Hugh''': ''[spits out his drink]'' I stand corrected. :'''Judy''': What are you talking about Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': They're transporting Poultra's water dish down from deep space. That means Poultra's not far behind! Whatever you do, ''don't'' go to the picnic today. :'''Hugh''': We're still going, right? :'''Judy''': Wouldn't miss it. <hr width=50%> :'''Libby''': Okay, that concludes the boring and annoying portion of the program. Our next act… :'''Cindy''': ''[runs up on the stage and takes microphone out of Libby's hand]'' Wait! I think Jimmy's telling the truth! :'''Jimmy and Libby''': You do? :'''Cindy''': Yes! While I have no idea how the Yolkians could possibly have gotten into Jimmy's lab… Well, the point is, we owe Jimmy! Who saved us when hostile pants were on the loose in the streets? Who repelled the giant flaming meteor headed straight for town? Who risked his life to shrink Ms. Fowl down to size when she was 50 feet tall? Okay, I know. All of those things were Neutron's fault in the first place, but he ''still'' risked his life to save us! The least we owe him is our trust! :'''Sam''': You know, the annoying blonde girl has a point. :'''Man''': Eh, she usually hates Jimmy. :'''Ms. Fowl''': Well, Jimmy ''did'' save me from being a giant freak woman. :'''Libby''': Give it up for Jimmy! ''[the crowd cheers for him]'' We believe in you, Jimmy! :'''Principal Willoughby''': Now, wait just a minute. I'm not believing a word Jimmy says until I have some decent credible evidence. ''[Poultra roars in distance]'' Works for me. :''[The townspeople start to run but a Yolkian pushes a button, closing the gates, trapping them]'' :'''Miss Fowl''': Sweet muffins, we're trapped! :''[Poultra's water dish is released from under the stage]'' :'''Hugh''': ''[as the Yolkians release Poultra's water dish]'' Hey, look! Jimmy's wrong again. The nice Yolkians built us a swimming pool. :'''Judy''': Hugh, that's Poultra's water dish! <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': Neutron, if there were ever a time to put that big, freak brain to work, it's now! :'''Libby''': We're counting on you! :'''Jimmy''': OK! OK! Think, think, think… ''[tries to, but it was too late]'' '''''I CAN'T DO IT!!!!!''''' ''[crying]'' CINDY, YOU GOTTA HELP ME! I'M SORRY I WAS LEADER! I'LL NEVER GET US OUTTA HERE! ''[screams loudly]'' '''''HELP!!!!!''''' :'''Cindy''': ''[slaps Jimmy in the face]'' Get a grip, Neutron! We still have time to focus somehow… I think. First things first! Estevez, you come with me! We gotta distract Poultra together! Folfax, Wheezer, and Neutron! Keep that monster busy! ===''Maximum Hugh''=== :'''Jimmy''': If Dad competes, we lose for sure. Goddard, options. '''"Accept your father's limitations."''' Nah, too mature. '''"Pretend you're sick."''' I'm no quitter. '''"Cheat."''' Hmm…cheating would be dishonest, but I'm far to blinded by my desire to destroy Cindy to care. To the lab! :''[Goddard's screen displays '''"Here we go again."''']'' <hr width=50%> :'''Mr. Wheezer''': We won! And not a single injury! ''[drops the trophy]'' :'''Carl''': Oh, my foot! :'''Mr. Wheezer''': Oh, my back! :'''Carl & Mr. Wheezer''': ''[crash into each other]'' Ow! My head! :'''Mr. Wheezer''': Oh, I think I got a bone spur. :'''Carl''': Ooh! Leg cramp! :'''Mr. Wheezer''': My kidneys are on FIRE! ''[faints]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Hugh''': Now, remember, son - there's no "I" in "team," you know what I mean? :'''Jimmy''': You mean we should sublimate our differences for the good of our combined effort? :'''Hugh''': What? No, no, I mean there's no letter "i" in the word "team." There's never a wrong time for a spelling lesson, son! ===''Sleepless in Retroville''=== :'''Hugh''': I remember my first sleepover. The games, the practical jokes, the crying for my mommy. :'''Judy''': Hugh, that was our honeymoon. :'''Hugh''': Yeah, I know. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Gentlemen, welcome to what I expect to be the greatest sleepover in history. :'''Sheen''': Yeah! I baked galactic marshmallow balls from the Ultra Lord recipe book. :'''Carl''': And I brought a video of "Larry the Lovesick Llama"! :'''Jimmy''': You know, I have something you guys'll enjoy even more. Behold the Slumbertron 9000, designed to throw the ultimate sleepover party. It provides the world's greatest made-to-order pizza, tells super scary stories, and supplies the perfect pillows for ultimate pillow fights! :'''Sheen''': Turn it on! Turn it on! Pizza, pillows, scary stories! :'''Jimmy''': Hey, hey, hey. Easy, Sheen. One thing at a time. This is the Slumbertron's maiden voyage. I suggest we begin with…the pillow fight. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I'm hungry. How about some pizza? :'''Carl''': You read my stomach. :'''Sheen''': I want pepperoni and garlic and onions and anchovies… :'''Carl''': And peanut butter and clams and hot fudge. ''[Jimmy and Sheen look at him awkwardly over what he said]'' Don't knock it till you try it. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, okay, one ultimate pizza coming up. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I believe the time has come for scary stories. :'''Carl''': Well, okay, but, um…not too scary, Jimmy, 'cause remember what happened ''[whispers]'' the last time when I got too scared? :'''Sheen''': Hey, did you bring your rubber sleeping bag? :'''Carl''': Yes. :'''Sheen''': Then what's the problem? Make it scream-your-head-off scary. :'''Jimmy''': One scream-your-head-off scary story coming up. :'''Carl''': ''[getting scared]'' It's just a story, it's just a story, it's just a story. :'''Dr. Dark''': Good evening. I am Dr. Dark, teller of terrible tales. :'''Sheen''': Hold up. Do mean terrible like lousy, or terrible like scary? :'''Dr. Dark''': ''SCARY!'' :'''Sheen''': ''[frightened]'' Got it. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': The Slumbertron must've combined the pizza and scary story programs to create… :'''Carl''': A PIZZA MONSTER! :'''Jimmy''': I can't delete the pizza! The screen's frozen! :'''Pizza Monster''': Time for my dinner! :''[The boys run away, screaming]'' :'''Carl''': HELP! WE'RE BEING CHASED BY A MONSTER! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Mission accomplished. :'''Sheen''': If only it used its anchovies for good instead of evil. :'''Carl''': I'm starving.

Can I stimulate ''my'' brain? :'''Jimmy''': No. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miss Fowl''': Today, we will watch part one of Ken Burns' 97-hour documentary on the history of mummies. :'''Cindy''': Yawn.

I meant spray-on-eyebrows. :'''Jimmy''': Light speed to Egypt! :'''Cindy''': This better not be like the time you took us to the center of the earth and all we found was a bunch of hot dirt. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on, guys. This is going to be a great adventure. We're going to find the lost tomb of Queen Hazabataslapya. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Jimmy…I've been saying, "Toot Van Halen" for 3 hours. Can I stop now? :'''Cindy''': Way to go, Neutron. You haven't found anything. I'd rather be in school. :'''Jimmy''': ''[disappointed]'' I don't understand it. I can't seem to find the lost tomb. :'''Cindy''': Duh! That's why the call it the "lost tomb," not the, here-it-is tomb: "come inside and have a milkshake." :'''Carl''': Oh, Swimmy loved milkshakes. :'''Libby''': Let's go home. I need to apply some emergency skincare products. :'''Cindy''': And so ends another chapter of the boring and stupid adventures of Jimmy Neutron. :'''Jimmy''': But, guys, we're here in an exotic, distant, foreign land. We might as well have some fun. :'''Cindy''': Fun? Yeah, right. Let's have a party in this beautiful spot. :'''Jimmy''': Party? :'''Sheen''': Uh, Jimmy? Where's the bathroom? All I see is sand, and I'm not a cat. :'''Jimmy''': Sand? Yeah! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': Let's have an Egyptian Beach Party! :'''Sheen''': I'm in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': All my life I wanted to go an authentic Egyptian Beach Party! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Libby''': Jimmy, what's happening? :'''Jimmy''': The increased air friction has created a high-intensity displacement of the ground covering… :'''Cindy''': Cut to the chase. :'''Jimmy''': SANDSTORM! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': Okay Neutron, once again you blew it, big time… ''[Jimmy gasps in surprise at something with his jaw dropped]'' Hey, Jumblehead, I'm yelling at you. ''[snaps her fingers]'' Pay attention. What are you looking at? :'''Jimmy''': ''[turns her head]'' The entrance to the lost tomb of the Queen Hazabataslapya. :'''Sheen''': You think there's a bathroom in there? :'''Jimmy''': ''[pushing the tomb's doors open]'' We shall now enter the lost tomb and see what has been unseen for 3,000 years. :'''Cindy''': Shouldn't we like, call National Geographic or Harvard? :'''Libby''': Or [[w: Harrison Ford|Harrison Ford]]? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Okay, are things gonna like, jump out at us and scare us? :'''Sheen''': ''[jumps out from the side, scaring him]'' No, Carl. Everything here is dead. :'''Carl''': Oh, that's good, 'cause… Dead things?! ''[points to a skeleton]'' Uh, I'm allergic to dead things! :'''Jimmy''': Don't worry, Carl. Nothing's going to hurt you. :''[The kids turn around and gasp at something shocking on the wall]'' :'''Cindy''': I don't believe it. :'''Sheen''': It can't be. :'''Jimmy''': But it ''is.'' :'''Carl''': IT'S… :''[The wall shows a hieroglyphic image of Queen Hazabataslapya, who looks similar to Libby as Jimmy and Sheen turn to her before cutting to commercial break; cut back to the kids in the tomb]'' :'''Jimmy''': It's Queen Hazabataslapya! :'''Sheen''': Smokin'. I'd be her king in Retroville minute. :'''Cindy''': She looks just like… ''[points to Libby]'' :'''Carl''': Me? :'''Libby''': No. Me. :'''Sheen''': Wow, Libby. Maybe she's your great-great-great-great-great… ''[as time passes by]'' great-great-great grandmother! :'''Libby''': I'm royalty. :'''Cindy''': Oh, boy, here we go. Queen Libby is in the house. :'''Libby''': Hey. Maybe this whole place belongs to me. I can turn it into a hot little dance club/restaurant/boutique/water park/… :'''Carl''': Hey, Jimmy. ''[pointing to the hieroglyphics]'' Somebody wrote on the walls. ''[gasps]'' They're gonna get in trouble. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, Carl. Those are hieroglyphics. The ancient Egyptian art of picture writing. :'''Sheen''': Hey, I saw this in "Ultra Lord vs. the Mutant Pus-Spitting Mummy." I can read this stuff. :'''Cindy''': Yeah, right. :'''Sheen''': "The queen flew on the wings of an eagle. She had a VCR, but wanted a DVD, and the gods sent munchkins to hypnotize her water-skis. So she took her peanut butter sandwich for a walk." The end. :'''Carl''': Wow, Sheen, that was amazing! :'''Cindy and Libby''': Oh, boys. :'''Jimmy''': Excuse me. My watch has a Sanskrit-to-English translator with a Rosetta stone upgrade. ''[scans the hieroglyphics on his watch]'' The queen was only 18 when she died. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Jimmy''': "Whosoever disturbs my resting place, shall endure eternal punishment, and pain shall erupt from every poor, and their screams shall be heard down the centuries and-" :'''Cindy''': ''[interrupting]'' Get to the point, Doofus of Arabia. :'''Jimmy''': It's just a silly curse. And there's no such thing as curses. :'''Carl''': Oh, so they're like the Loch Ness Monster and North Dakota. :'''Sheen''': Hey, guys-- I think I found the bathroom. It ''smells'' like a bathroom. I wish I had one of those deodorizer things you hang in the car from the rear-view mirror. :'''Carl''': Lemon or strawberry? :'''Sheen''': Thanks, Carl. Hey, why do you carry those around with you? :'''Carl''': …'Cause. :'''Jimmy''': Follow me. :'''Carl''': Oh, I bet something really bad's gonna happen. :'''Cindy''': With Nerdtron leading the way, it's a pretty safe bet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Principal Willoughby''': ''[realizing]'' Hold on. We don't have a school tanning salon. :''[Cut to the kids in an empty chamber in the lost tomb]'' :'''Sheen''': I for one am deeply disappointed. It's just a big empty room. :'''Jimmy''': Well, the pyramid designers sometimes build ''hundreds'' of empty chambers to confuse grave robbers. So they wander aimlessly for days until they… :'''Cindy''': ''[interrupting]'' You got ten seconds to get outta here. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Spice jars! If we can gather up enough kaffir lime leaves and dry mustard powder, I can ignite them and blow the door open! :'''Sheen''': Where do you learn all this stuff, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': That I learned at the library. :'''Sheen''': Ohh. And the library is a…? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': Okay, this field trip is over. How are you gonna get us out of here, Mr. Tour Guide? :'''Jimmy''': ''[spooky]'' We don't want to get out of here. :'''Sheen''': Okay, Jimmy's lost it. I elect myself leader. Everybody start crying and yelling. :'''Jimmy''': ''[just before they do that]'' No, guys. Look. The queen's burial chamber. Get ready to see a ''real, live'' mummy. :'''Sheen''': Hey, Jimmy. Was the queen gonna have a garage sale? :'''Jimmy''': The Egyptians believed in an afterlife, so they preserve their bodies and buried them with their furniture, jewelry, pets… :'''Sheen''': ''[laughing]'' Man. Those Egyptians were a bunch of whack jobs. But just in case they're right, I'd like to be buried with my Ultra Lord collection. :'''Carl''': Well, guys, this was fun. ''[laughs nervously]'' Okay, let's all leave in a quite and orderly fashion before we see something ''really'' scary, like… ''[turns around to see…]'' MUMMIES! ''[runs and bumps into Jimmy, who drops the torch and the light goes out]'' :'''Jimmy''': Everybody, shh! Stand still, I'll find my torch. ''[accidentally touches Cindy]'' :'''Cindy''': Ow! That's ''not'' your torch. :'''Jimmy''': Sorry. :'''Carl''': Hey, Jimmy, I still got your Electro-Life thingy that makes a light. ''[activates the Electro-Life, lighting up the room, unaware by bringing the three mummies to life]'' :'''Jimmy''': Found it! ''[picks up the torch and lights it up]'' Now let's a take a look at those mummies. :''[The mummies growl and start moving their bodies]'' :'''Carl''': ''[worriedly frightened]'' J-Jimmy, the mummies are looking at ''us.'' :'''Jimmy''': Impossible. :'''Libby''': They're moving. :'''Jimmy''': I did it! My Electro-Life works! I ''can'' bring the dead back to life! :'''Sheen''': All right! You trampled all over the laws of nature! Way to go! :'''Cindy''': Yeah, terrific. Now a bunch of dead guys wrapped in toilet paper are gonna kill us. :'''Carl''': Um, guys, I suggest we… '''RUN!''' :''[The kids start running as the mummies chase them]'' :'''Sheen''': Jimmy, next time you invite me anywhere, remind me to say no. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hope there is a next time! :'''Libby''': ''[to the mummies]'' Hey, guys, I'm related to your queen. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cindy''': So, this is how it ends. Playing hide and get killed in a tomb in Egypt. :'''Sheen''': Why must the good die young?! :'''Carl''': They're coming this way. ''[whispering]'' Everybody stay quiet. :'''Libby''': Uh, Jimmy, now would be a real time for one of your brain blasts. :'''Jimmy''': Think, think… Brain blast! Libby, quick, I need you. :'''Libby''': Why, Jimmy, this is so sudden! :'''Cindy''': Hey, what's goin' on? :'''Sheen''': It's the desert love curse. Working its evil ways on Jimmy's heart. :'''Jimmy''': Libby, you look like the queen. If you pretend to be her, maybe the mummies will obey your command. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Libby''': ''[to the mummies]'' I command you to sleep for 5- :'''Others''': 10! :'''Libby''': 15 trillion more years! ''[the mummies snore as they fall asleep]'' Sleep tight, and don't let the scarab bugs bite. :'''Jimmy''': Carl, give me the Electro-Life. :'''Carl''': Why, Jimmy? :'''Jimmy''': Some things should not see the light of day, for who am I, a mere mortal to alter the very laws of mortality. :'''Cindy''': Good thing we're in a tomb 'cause you're boring us to death. :''[Jimmy tosses the Electro-Life off aside]'' :'''Sheen''': Hey, guys! I finally found the bathroom! ''[Thump!]'' OW! Why must the good get hit on their heads again?! :''[Outside the lost tomb, the gang are all in Jimmy's hover car, about to fly back home to Retroville]'' :'''Sheen''': Farewell, cruel desert! :'''Carl''': Don't forget to write! :'''Libby''': You know, I think I'm down with this new look. I'm gonna keep it. :'''Cindy''': ''(sarcastically)'' So, do we have to address you as Queen Libby from now on? :'''Libby''': ''[giggles]'' No. ''[jokingly]'' "Your Mighty Fine Royal Marvelousness" will do. :'''Jimmy''': Light speed back to Retroville! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carl''': Miss Fowl, we're back! :'''Others''': ''[annoyed]'' Carl! :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[waking up along with Principal Willoughby]'' Where have you children been?! I want the truth. :'''Principal Willoughby''': And I'll have none of this whole "school tanning salon" mumbo-jumbo! :'''Sheen''': Uh, did I say we were going to the tanning salon? I meant, uh… the bathroom! :'''Principal Willoughby''': Oh. Well, all right, then. :'''Carl''': In Egypt. And Libby got to be a queen, and mummies chased us, and we discovered a lost tomb! ==External links== {{Wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|ch0033574|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius}} * [http://www.nick.com/all_nick/tv_supersites/display_show.jhtml?show_id=jim Jimmy Neutron at Nick.com] {{DEFAULTSORT:Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, The}} [[Category:The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius seasons]] [[Category:Children's television seasons]] 92g804zlnezqtqsy8cr5s70hk98nfed The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 2 0 177495 3147609 3145574 2022-07-26T18:13:15Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 1|1]] [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 2|2]] [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Season 3|3]] | [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|'''Main''']] ---- '''''[[w:The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius]]''''' is a show that ran on Nickelodeon from 2002–2006.

They're fool's rubies. :'''Cindy''': Fool's rubies? :'''Jimmy''': They're spectral signature is almost identical to aster-rubies. The scanner mistook them for the real thing. Looks like we came all this way for nothing. :'''Sheen''': Bummer. Can I keep playing with my shovel? <hr width=50%> :'''Libby''': How could you misread your own readings? :'''Cindy''': Yeah, Neutron. I'll bet there are more rocks in your big head than there are in this stupid asteroid. What are we supposed to do now? :'''Jimmy''': I don't know. We could spend years searching the rest of the belt. We'd just be wasting our time. :'''Sheen''': Hey, look on the bright side, guys. At least we still have our health. ''[bites his burrito and feels a pain in his tooth]'' Ow! Carl, what did you put in this burrito?! :'''Carl''': Nothing. Just some rice from the galley and some beans I found growing in the ground. <hr width=50%> :'''Libby''': I'll give three seconds to get away from my ruby stash! :'''Sheen''': What are you talking about? I was just going to the little miner's rooms. :'''Libby''': Like you had no idea these were here. :'''Sheen''': Hey, sweet hiding place. My rubies are over there by that strange rock formation.

I'll try and grow a mustache. ''(tries to do so, only to realize nothing happens)'' :'''Jimmy''': My dad's over 18. I'll act like him. :''(Cut to Doombringer II and three dollar bills and four grey coins being placed in the counter by Jimmy with Carl with ice cream in the background)'' :'''Jimmy''': (mature-ish) Well, howdy there, Clerky Clerkotron. :'''Clerky Clerkotron''': ''(hands the objects)'' Beat it kids, this game is for mature players only, due to violence, exaggerated mayhem and old lady kicking. :'''Sheen''': That's not fair! We're highly mature! ''(pounds fist)'' I demand my constipational rights! ''(Clerky kicks the boys out of the store; pointing his finger up)'' How dare he throw your father out of the store?! :'''Jimmy''': Come on guys, Let's go do something "age-appropriate." :''(They leave the scene, except for Sheen who gets the rest of his body back to the scene.

Tostadas, turpentine? :'''Hugh''': Well, hey, old-timer. I like the way you're wearing your pants. I've been thinking of wearing mine more like that, maybe growing out my nose hair a little bit. You look familiar. :'''Old Jimmy''': Oh, no, I'm just a strange old man, not your son after screwing up an experiment. :'''Hugh''': ''[chuckles]'' I know. You remind me of my father, except you're not always saying, "Huey, I told you, toothpaste isn't food." :'''Old Jimmy''': Not possible. I don't have any family. :'''Hugh''': What? Oh, well, that's terrible. Come on. Come with me, I'll get you a nice home-cooked meal. :'''Old Jimmy''': B-but I can't.

But Sheen, you got to promise that when you're scary, you won't scare me. :'''Sheen''': My word is my bond. :'''Jimmy''': I've downloaded every monster imaginable.

Make me a bat! :'''Jimmy''': I didn't do that! Carl just changed into a vampire bat on his own. :'''Sheen''': But it's Halloween. What do you expect? :'''Jimmy''': The monster maker must've mutated Carl's molecular structure on a subatomic level, altering his DNA! :'''Sheen''': And now again in English. :'''Jimmy''': He's a ''real'' vampire! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': This is going to be a memorable Halloween, Goddard… if we survive. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I can't believe Carl and Sheen turned into a real vampire and werewolf!

I have an idea how to solve this without harming you, or the creature, and, why are nodding no? :'''Carl''': I thought about it, Jim.

We're gathered together because we love our dear Aunt Amanda and not because her fabulous wealth controls our very destiny. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, can't we all just get along and be a family? :'''Aunt Amanda''': NO! Because of you, the Neutron name isn't respectable anymore. Why can you be nice like your two young friends? :'''Sheen''': Mmm!

Only a genius could come up with a plan like that. And the delta waves came from the backyard.

Now, compare the gene against DNA profiles of ''all'' adult family members. Hmm. The two most likely suspects would be…Cousin Gomer or Cousin Annabelle. :'''Carl''': Okay, so what you're saying is that one of them must only be ''acting'' dumb. :'''Sheen''': ''[belches]'' Or crazy. :'''Jimmy''': We gotta find out which one before they make another attempt on my family's lives! :'''Carl''': Right.

I never guessed that… :'''Baby Eddie''': A baby could be as smart as you? Heck, I'm smarter. And, I'm only 17 1/2 months old. Wait till I hit puberty-- bah-bing! :'''Sheen''': Why'd you do it, Cousin Eddie?! WHY?!? :'''Jimmy''': For Aunt Amanda's money, Sheen. :'''Baby Eddie''': Ding! We got a winner!

Your personality is imprinted on your brain from birth-- look it up. :'''Sheen''': Friends, friends, let us not fight. We'll just agree to disagree. And then we'll break out the N-Men packets and have some fun! :'''Jimmy''': Hmm, let me think. NO! <hr width=50%> :'''King Goobot''': In order to abduct Jimmy Neutron, you'll be split into teams. First team: Baby Eddie and Grandma Taters. :'''Grandma Taters''': Ooh, we're going to have such a good time! :'''Baby Eddie''': I've got to be with the old broad? This stinks! :'''Grandma Taters''': ''[sweetly]'' I could just eat you up… ''[menacingly in her true self]'' and maybe I will! :'''King Goobot''': Team two: Beautiful Gorgeous and the Junkman. :'''The Junkman''': Yuck! :'''Beautiful Gorgeous''': The feeling is mutual. :'''Baby Eddie''': Hey, Junkster, I'll trade you Wrinkles for Dollface. :'''King Goobot''': No trading! Team three: Eustace Strych and Professor Calamitous. :'''Eustace''': What?! The guy who can't complete a sentence?! I can't work with that fool. :'''Professor Calamitous''': Watch your tongue, sonny, or I'll… I'll… well, I'll… :'''Eustace''': Yes, fine, get back to me on that before I go to college! <hr width=50%> :''[Aboard The Junkman's ship, the villains circle around Jimmy as he wakes up]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[gasps in horror]'' King Goobot, Baby Eddie, Grandma Taters, The Junkman, Eustace, Professor Calamitous, Beautiful Gorgeous, Zix, Travoltron, and Tee! :'''Tee''': How come he said my name last?! :'''King Goobot''': Hello, Jimmy. We were just in the neighborhood and thought we'd drop by. Care to go for a little ride? It will be your ''LAST!'' <hr width=50%> :''[The villains put Jimmy on trial, declaring him guilty]'' :'''King Goobot''': Quiet! Quiet, I say! Quiet. Court is in session. The League of Villains vs. Jimmy Neutron. King Goobot presiding. :'''Jimmy''': Wait-- you're putting me on trial?! :'''King Goobot''': Of course! We're doing things by the book. :'''Jimmy''': What book? :'''King Goobot''': "The Big Book of Sham Trials." Be seated, jury. :'''Beautiful Gorgeous''': Do I have to sit next to stink boy here? I'm gonna throw up. :'''Professor Calamitous''': He can't smell any worse than this baby. :'''Baby Eddie''': Hey, I'm a baby. Babies poop! What? You didn't poop when you were a baby? :'''King Goobot''': Order! Order! Bailiff, control the jury. :'''Tee''': Man, why do I got to be the bailiff? I want to be on the jury! :'''Beautiful Gorgeous''': Too late. We already voted. :'''Tee''': How come I didn't get a vote? :'''Jury''': 'Cause you're not on the jury. ''[laughing]'' :'''King Goobot''': Order! Order, I say! James Isaac Neutron, you are charged with blocking the spread of evil, ruining diabolical plans and being an annoying pest. How do you plead? :'''Jimmy''': Well, first I have to say… :'''King Goobot''': Time's up. Thank you. The jury will now read the verdict. :'''Jimmy''': I didn't even get to defend myself! :'''King Goobot''': Hello! This is a League of Villains. What did you expect? Jury, how do you find the defendant? :'''Jury''': Guilty! :'''Jimmy''': What a shock. <hr width=50%> :'''King Goobot''': Jimmy Neutron's sentence has been decided. We shall blast him and his annoying sidekick into deep space! :'''The Junkman''': I still say we should eat him! :'''Beautiful Gorgeous''': Mr. Noxious, wouldn't you mind staying a minimum of 20 feet away from me so that I don't get nauseous? :'''The Junkman''': Gladly. :'''Baby Eddie''': Hey, Gorgeous, after this is all over, you want to grab dinner and a movie? :'''Beautiful Gorgeous''': Buzz off, baby. :''[Baby Eddie blows raspberry at her in return]'' :'''Eustace''': Can we wrap this up? I have a polo lesson in two hours. <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': I should be able to get us back to Retroville at light speed. Look for some sort of transmitter so I can contact Carl. :'''Sheen''': I don't think that's necessary. :'''Jimmy''': Why not? :'''Sheen''': They're right there. :'''Jimmy''': What?! :'''Sheen''': That's them, all right. Carl's talking, Libby's drying her eyes, and Cindy's driving. :'''Jimmy''': This is terrible! They're heading to save us and we're heading back to… ''[realizes; enraged]'' CINDY'S DRIVING MY ROCKET?! <hr width=50%> :'''Mrs. Vortex''': I demand to know how this happened! :'''Hugh''': Well, Judy was tinkering with Jimmy's stuff. I'd ask her. :'''Judy''': ''[annoyingly miffed]'' Oh, really?! Well, Mr. Let's-Push-All-the-Buttons… :'''Hugh''': Now, honey, name calling won't solve this mess you got us in. Besides, we may be here for a while. Look, some people seem to be adapting. :'''Miss Fowl''': School is in session. Today's lesson is how to not get eaten by a giant fire ant. ''[squawks]'' :'''Butch''': Miss Fowl, a raptor ate my homework. :'''Man''': So, what do you got, Sam? :'''Sam''': Rock burgers, rock dogs and rock lobster with a side of rocks. :'''Man''': I'll just have soup. :'''Sam''': One hot water! Hold the rocks! :'''Judy''': Well, I guess we could live here. I could make curtains and paint the walls with some berry juice. :'''Hugh''': Now, that's the spirit, Sugar. Maybe it will distract you from thinking about our missing Jimbo. :'''Judy''': ''[weeping]'' My baby! :'''Hugh''': Oopsy. There, Sugarbooger. Remember, we're in the Cretaceous Era. We've got millions of years to come up with a plan to save him. :'''Judy''': Hugh, are you aware that most of the things you say make no sense? <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': Neutron, what's going on? Who's after you? :'''Jimmy''': Every villain I've ever defeated has banded together to get rid of me for good! :'''Sheen''': Well, maybe if you'd gone along with my plan to come rescue you… :'''Jimmy''': What plan?! :'''Sheen''': Oh, right. :'''Jimmy''': Almost there! :''[The League of Villains block their way]'' :'''Carl''': Bad people! Lots of bad people! <hr width=50%> :''[As Carl, Sheen, Cindy, and Libby drink their N-Men packets, except for Jimmy, whose gotten the love potion instead, Carl confusingly mixes up the packets]'' :'''Libby''': Carl, you're in big trouble!

I'm right next to you! <hr width=50%> :''[Jimmy blow-sprays the love potion on The Junkman and Beautiful Gorgeous, making them in love with each other]'' :'''The Junkman''': You're beautiful! :'''Beautiful Gorgeous''': Kiss me, you fool! <hr width=50%> :'''Jimmy''': Gotta hide somewhere so the villains don't find us. :'''Libby''': There's the moon-- we can hide there! :'''Jimmy''': Good idea. :'''Brobot''': Hi, Jimmy! I missed you! Want to play a game? I can make moon castles! Want to hear a song I wrote? It's called, "I Love Jimmy." ♪ I love Jimmy, I love Jimmy, I love Jimmy, I love Jimmy… ♪ :'''Jimmy''': I'd rather take my chances with the villains. :'''Sheen''': Good call. :'''Cindy''': Agreed. :'''Carl''': Can't blame you. :'''Libby''': Word. <hr width=50%> :'''Grandma Taters''': I'm going to take a little nappy. ''[snores loudly]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': Uh, Neutron? We wanted Retroville, not Jungleville. :'''Sheen''': I think the gardeners went on strike. :'''Sam''': ''[while being chased by a raptor]'' HELP! Yeah, yeah. HELP! :'''Miss Fowl''': ''[while being chased by a giant black snake]'' Bad snake! Bad snake! :'''Jimmy''': This ''is'' Retroville. Based on the flora and fauna, I'd say that wormhole transported the town 75 million years in the past. :'''Sheen''': Awesome! Now I don't have to go to the dentist on Thursday! <hr width=50%> :'''Sam''': I just saw an egg, a baby, a granny, a rich kid, and two lizard guys-- yeah. :'''Sheen''': Oh, wait, wait-- I know this joke! :'''Cindy''': It's not a joke, you nimrod! It's the League of Villains! <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': I'd like to see Betty Quinlan do that! <hr width=50%> :'''Cindy''': So, what'll happen to Goobot and the other villains? :'''Jimmy''': I programmed the force field to wear off after a few minutes. I'm guessing the League of Villains will have their hands full for quite a while. ==External links== * {{imdb title|ch0033574|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius}} *

Lee died during the making of the film. During filming, Lee received an offer to star in [[Enter the Dragon]]. Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. In 1973 some fragments were shown exclusively within the documentary [[Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend]]. After Lee's death, Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse was enlisted to finish the film using two stand-ins; it was released in 1978 as [[Game of Death]], five years after Lee's death, by Golden Harvest. The 1978 film's plot was altered to a revenge story. In 1978 the Golden Harvest has released [[Game of Death]] (and sequel [[Game of Death II]] in 1981). The 1978 version uses portions of the original footage married to an entirely [[w:Game of Death#Game of Death (1978)|new plot]]. The revised version of the film uses only 11 minutes and 7 seconds of the footage from the original [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Several years later, Bruce Lee historian John Little released [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]], a documentary revealing the original footage and storyline of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The documentary also includes a fairly in-depth biography of Lee and leads into the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Five years after Bruce Lee's death in 1973, Golden Harvest used about 11 minutes of Lee's uncompleted original footage intended by him to become the film "[[Game of Death]]", completing the rest of their 1978 film using Lee look-a-likes. Twenty-three more minutes of Lee's original footage were considered lost for 28 years, until they were discovered by Bey Logan in 1999. John Little assembled these parts according to Lee's script notes, reflecting more accurately Lee's intentions. In 2000 it was directed the short film [[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]]. The movie is the storyline ([[w:simple:The Game of Death#Plot|Plot]])for [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] and the missing part of Bruce Lee's [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]], '''not played in 1972'''. ([[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]] is also a prequel and sequel of [[Game of Death Redux]]). Directed in South Korea by John Little, distributed as a special feature in DVD of the documentary [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]. In 2000, the Japanese film [[Bruce Lee in G.O.D: Shibōteki Yūgi|Bruce Lee in G.O.D 死亡的遊戯]] was released on DVD. This film shows Lee's original vision of the film through the existing footage that was shot for the film before he died (= [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] of [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]), interviews, and historical re-enactments of what went on behind the scenes. On 2019 producer Alan Canvan edited [[Game of Death Redux]], edit only uses footage shot during the original production of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The film was released as a special feature in The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray box set of Bruce Lee films, on July 14, 2020.

Lee died during the making of the film. During filming, Lee received an offer to star in [[Enter the Dragon]]. Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. In 1973 some fragments were shown exclusively within the documentary [[Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend]]. After Lee's death, Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse was enlisted to finish the film using two stand-ins; it was released in 1978 as [[Game of Death]], five years after Lee's death, by Golden Harvest. The 1978 film's plot was altered to a revenge story. In 1978 the Golden Harvest has released [[Game of Death]] (and sequel [[Game of Death II]] in 1981). The 1978 version uses portions of the original footage married to an entirely [[w:Game of Death#Game of Death (1978)|new plot]]. The revised version of the film uses only 11 minutes and 7 seconds of the footage from the original [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Several years later, Bruce Lee historian John Little released [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]], a documentary revealing the original footage and storyline of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The documentary also includes a fairly in-depth biography of Lee and leads into the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Five years after Bruce Lee's death in 1973, Golden Harvest used about 11 minutes of Lee's uncompleted original footage intended by him to become the film "[[Game of Death]]", completing the rest of their 1978 film using Lee look-a-likes. Twenty-three more minutes of Lee's original footage were considered lost for 28 years, until they were discovered by Bey Logan in 1999. John Little assembled these parts according to Lee's script notes, reflecting more accurately Lee's intentions. In 2000 it was directed the short film [[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]]. The movie is the storyline ([[w:simple:The Game of Death#Plot|Plot]])for [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] and the missing part of Bruce Lee's [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]], '''not played in 1972'''. ([[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]] is also a prequel and sequel of [[Game of Death Redux]]). Directed in South Korea by John Little, distributed as a special feature in DVD of the documentary [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]. In 2000, the Japanese film [[Bruce Lee in G.O.D: Shibōteki Yūgi|Bruce Lee in G.O.D 死亡的遊戯]] was released on DVD. This film shows Lee's original vision of the film through the existing footage that was shot for the film before he died (= [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] of [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]), interviews, and historical re-enactments of what went on behind the scenes. On 2019 producer Alan Canvan edited [[Game of Death Redux]], edit only uses footage shot during the original production of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The film was released as a special feature in The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray box set of Bruce Lee films, on July 14, 2020.

Lee died during the making of the film. During filming, Lee received an offer to star in [[Enter the Dragon]]. Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. In 1973 some fragments were shown exclusively within the documentary [[Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend]]. After Lee's death, Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse was enlisted to finish the film using two stand-ins; it was released in 1978 as [[Game of Death]], five years after Lee's death, by Golden Harvest. The 1978 film's plot was altered to a revenge story. In 1978 the Golden Harvest has released [[Game of Death]] (and sequel [[Game of Death II]] in 1981). The 1978 version uses portions of the original footage married to an entirely [[w:Game of Death#Game of Death (1978)|new plot]]. The revised version of the film uses only 11 minutes and 7 seconds of the footage from the original [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Several years later, Bruce Lee historian John Little released [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]], a documentary revealing the original footage and storyline of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The documentary also includes a fairly in-depth biography of Lee and leads into the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Five years after Bruce Lee's death in 1973, Golden Harvest used about 11 minutes of Lee's uncompleted original footage intended by him to become the film "[[Game of Death]]", completing the rest of their 1978 film using Lee look-a-likes. Twenty-three more minutes of Lee's original footage were considered lost for 28 years, until they were discovered by Bey Logan in 1999. John Little assembled these parts according to Lee's script notes, reflecting more accurately Lee's intentions. In 2000 it was directed the short film [[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]]. The movie is the storyline ([[w:simple:The Game of Death#Plot|Plot]])for [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] and the missing part of Bruce Lee's [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]], '''not played in 1972'''. ([[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]] is also a prequel and sequel of [[Game of Death Redux]]). Directed in South Korea by John Little, distributed as a special feature in DVD of the documentary [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]. In 2000, the Japanese film [[Bruce Lee in G.O.D: Shibōteki Yūgi|Bruce Lee in G.O.D 死亡的遊戯]] was released on DVD. This film shows Lee's original vision of the film through the existing footage that was shot for the film before he died (= [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] of [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]), interviews, and historical re-enactments of what went on behind the scenes. On 2019 producer Alan Canvan edited [[Game of Death Redux]], edit only uses footage shot during the original production of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The film was released as a special feature in The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray box set of Bruce Lee films, on July 14, 2020.

Lee died during the making of the film. During filming, Lee received an offer to star in [[Enter the Dragon]]. Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. In 1973 some fragments were shown exclusively within the documentary [[Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend]]. After Lee's death, Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse was enlisted to finish the film using two stand-ins; it was released in 1978 as [[Game of Death]], five years after Lee's death, by Golden Harvest. The 1978 film's plot was altered to a revenge story. In 1978 the Golden Harvest has released [[Game of Death]] (and sequel [[Game of Death II]] in 1981). The 1978 version uses portions of the original footage married to an entirely [[w:Game of Death#Game of Death (1978)|new plot]]. The revised version of the film uses only 11 minutes and 7 seconds of the footage from the original [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Several years later, Bruce Lee historian John Little released [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]], a documentary revealing the original footage and storyline of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The documentary also includes a fairly in-depth biography of Lee and leads into the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Five years after Bruce Lee's death in 1973, Golden Harvest used about 11 minutes of Lee's uncompleted original footage intended by him to become the film "[[Game of Death]]", completing the rest of their 1978 film using Lee look-a-likes. Twenty-three more minutes of Lee's original footage were considered lost for 28 years, until they were discovered by Bey Logan in 1999. John Little assembled these parts according to Lee's script notes, reflecting more accurately Lee's intentions. In 2000 it was directed the short film [[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]]. The movie is the storyline ([[w:simple:The Game of Death#Plot|Plot]])for [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] and the missing part of Bruce Lee's [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]], '''not played in 1972'''. ([[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]] is also a prequel and sequel of [[Game of Death Redux]]). Directed in South Korea by John Little, distributed as a special feature in DVD of the documentary [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]. In 2000, the Japanese film [[Bruce Lee in G.O.D: Shibōteki Yūgi|Bruce Lee in G.O.D 死亡的遊戯]] was released on DVD. This film shows Lee's original vision of the film through the existing footage that was shot for the film before he died (= [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] of [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]), interviews, and historical re-enactments of what went on behind the scenes. On 2019 producer Alan Canvan edited [[Game of Death Redux]], edit only uses footage shot during the original production of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The film was released as a special feature in The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray box set of Bruce Lee films, on July 14, 2020.

Personally, on any topic, I tend to add quotes ''as they are quoted'' in secondary sources, like newspapers, books or magazines. It kindof takes you as an individual out of the equation. Somebody already quoted it exactly as you are quoting it. We're not (at least in my opinion) really supposed to be creating anything.

Lee died during the making of the film. During filming, Lee received an offer to star in [[Enter the Dragon]]. Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. In 1973 some fragments were shown exclusively within the documentary [[Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend]]. After Lee's death, Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse was enlisted to finish the film using two stand-ins; it was released in 1978 as [[Game of Death]], five years after Lee's death, by Golden Harvest. The 1978 film's plot was altered to a revenge story. In 1978 the Golden Harvest has released [[Game of Death]] (and sequel [[Game of Death II]] in 1981). The 1978 version uses portions of the original footage married to an entirely [[w:Game of Death#Game of Death (1978)|new plot]]. The revised version of the film uses only 11 minutes and 7 seconds of the footage from the original [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Several years later, Bruce Lee historian John Little released [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]], a documentary revealing the original footage and storyline of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The documentary also includes a fairly in-depth biography of Lee and leads into the filming of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. Five years after Bruce Lee's death in 1973, Golden Harvest used about 11 minutes of Lee's uncompleted original footage intended by him to become the film "[[Game of Death]]", completing the rest of their 1978 film using Lee look-a-likes. Twenty-three more minutes of Lee's original footage were considered lost for 28 years, until they were discovered by Bey Logan in 1999. John Little assembled these parts according to Lee's script notes, reflecting more accurately Lee's intentions. In 2000 it was directed the short film [[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]]. The movie is the storyline ([[w:simple:The Game of Death#Plot|Plot]])for [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] and the missing part of Bruce Lee's [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]], '''not played in 1972'''. ([[The Story (2000 film)|The Story]] is also a prequel and sequel of [[Game of Death Redux]]). Directed in South Korea by John Little, distributed as a special feature in DVD of the documentary [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]. In 2000, the Japanese film [[Bruce Lee in G.O.D: Shibōteki Yūgi|Bruce Lee in G.O.D 死亡的遊戯]] was released on DVD. This film shows Lee's original vision of the film through the existing footage that was shot for the film before he died (= [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]] of [[Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey]]), interviews, and historical re-enactments of what went on behind the scenes. On 2019 producer Alan Canvan edited [[Game of Death Redux]], edit only uses footage shot during the original production of [[The Game of Death (1972)|The Game of Death]]. The film was released as a special feature in The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray box set of Bruce Lee films, on July 14, 2020.

''[shoves the bouquet to Boone]'' I don't believe in ghosts! :'''Boone Clemens''': ''[chuckles]'' Well, then how do you explain me being here? :'''Zayday Williams''': You faked your death! :''[Grace appears in the room carrying clothes.]'' :'''Grace Gardner''': Hey, Zayday, have you seen my--- ''[gasps when she saw Boone alive]'' Oh, my God, Boone?! :'''Zayday Williams''': ''[to Grace]'' Boone is in here trying to seduce me with the oldest line in the book: he says he's a ''"ghost"''. :'''Grace Gardner''': Wait. ''[places the clothes in the bed]'' This all makes sense, Of course you would fake your own death so no one would suspect you! :'''Boone Clemens''': ''[surrounded by Grace and Zayday]'' Are you trying to say I'm the Red Devil Killer? Cause that's insane. :'''Zayday Williams''': We ''both'' know how you got this fork mark on your hand! ''[grabs Boone's hand, revealing the scar from the fork that Zayday had stabbed him earlier]'' From when I stabbed you in your evil lair. You're coming with us! :''[Zayday and Grace grabbed Boone. They struggle as Boone barely escape through the window.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hester Ulrich''': ''[picking up some of Chanel's clothes]'' I have to say, Chanel, I am delighted and shocked that you're letting me keep whatever clothes I want. It's really big of you, considering the whole "I'm pregnant with your boyfriend's baby" thing. :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Well, honestly, the more I thought about it, I just realized that I love Chad so much, and part of loving someone is loving every choice they make, regardless of how selfish and destructive it is, you know? :'''Hester Ulrich''': ''[picks up Chanel's kimono]'' Thank you, Mommy. Oh, and if you want to start calling me Mommy, now being that I'm the one that's gonna actually be the mommy, I'm totally fine with that. :'''Chanel #5''': Number 6, before you try on that kimono, why haven't you had any of this sushi? I mean, we got it just for you. :'''Hester Ulrich''': Mm, don't mind if I do! ''[eats the sushi]'' Mmm. That's so good. Mm-hmm. :'''Chanel #3''': Oh, and do yourself a favor. ''[shows the cheese]'' Have a little slice of that soft, unpasteurized cheese. ''[Hester eats the cheese]'' It makes any sushi that much more delicious. :'''Hester Ulrich''': Mmm! You're right. :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Oh, and, Hester, you have got to taste this champagne. ''[holds the two glasses of champagne]'' It's a special champagne with triple the alcohol and a... nicotine-y mouth feel, because it's infused with tobacco. :''[Hester takes the glass and sips.]'' :'''Hester Ulrich''': Mmm, De-lish! :''[Chanel knocks the wineglass off of Hester's hand.]'' :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Liar! :'''Hester Ulrich''': What the hell is going on?! :''[Number 5 and Number 3 closes the closet doors]'' :'''Chanel Oberlin''': You're trapped in a web of lies, whore! You just had sushi, soft cheese and alcohol! Three foods that are damaging to embryos! Which means, you're not pregnant! :'''Hester Ulrich''': That's not true! I didn't know anything about the whole... sushi-cheese-alcohol thing! :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Fine! Prove it. You're not leaving this room until you've peed on every single one of these pregnancy tests! :''[Number 5 and Number 3 shows the thermometers to Hester.]'' :'''Hester Ulrich''': ''[chuckles]'' Hmm..., I had all three of you fooled, didn't I?! Fine! You got me, I'm not pregnant! :''[Chanel gasps in excitement]'' :'''Hester Ulrich''': But it doesn't matter, ''[Chanel was stunned]'' because Chad still thinks that I am and being that he already purchased our first-class airfare to the Hamptons. That means that I'll be the one attending Thanksgiving where I'll have ample opportunity to get pregnant all weekend long! :''[Hester walks away, leaving Chanel and her minions shocked and upset.]'' :'''Chanel Oberlin''': ''[screeching]'' I'LL KILL YOU, NECKBRAAAACE!!! :''[Hester continues to walk off, ignoring Chanel who screams in anger and frustration. Chanel tries to follow her.]'' === ''[[w:Thanksgiving (Scream Queens)|Thanksgiving]]'' [1.10] === :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Hester, I owe you an apology. Yes, I did push you down the stairs in an attempt to murder you and your fake unborn baby. And while my motivations were airtight and my conscience clear, still, I'm sorry. You, Chanel #6, are my sister, and that bond is stronger than some silly little attempt on your life. :'''Hester Ulrich''': Thank you. :'''Chanel Oberlin''': And furthermore, I'm sorry that you had to sit through the most mean-spirited game of ''[[w:Pictionary|Pictionary]]'' in the history of ''Pictionary''! I mean, no one deserves to be spoken to like that, particularly not by what is, without a doubt, the most awful family in America! Chad, your leathery excuse for a mother looks like an ostrich-hide clutch from last season that somehow learned to talk. And, Mr. Radwell, I have never seen anyone spend so much money to make a house look this tacky! I've honestly seen more tasteful decor at a [[w:Sizzler|Sizzler]]. And you, Thad, have a bright future ahead of you in the sex offender wing of a supermax prison! ''[to Brad]'' And you, sir, give the kind, hard-working, deeply moral people who work in such a wonderful industry as Hollywood a bad name! And, Chad Radwell, whatever we had between us is over! I am walking out that door and never speaking to you again. :'''Chad Radwell''': You know you say that a lot, right? :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Well, consider this coming to my senses, because no woman in her right mind would want anything to do with this family! So goodbye, Chad. Goodbye forever. === ''[[w:Black Friday (Scream Queens)|Black Friday]]'' [1.11] === :'''Chanel #5''': Chanel is right. All they're gonna do is look at Gigi's severed, roasted head and say that they have no proof that it is in any way related to the killings at campus :'''Chanel Oberlin''': Shut up, Number Five! When you agree with me it makes me question whether I actually agree with me. === ''[[w:Dorkus|Dorkus]]'' [1.12] === :'''Pete Martinez''': If you gaze long enough into an abyss, that abyss will gaze back into you. That is Nietzsche too, Grace. :'''Grace Gardner''': You're quoting Nietzsche? You’re already a murderer, Pete. You don’t have to be a douche as well! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chanel Oberlin''': ATTENTION ALL USELESS KAPPA SLUTS – Congratulations! If you’re reading this it means you’ve overcome the limitations of your tiny manatee brains and opened an email. Now if you’re asking yourself “DERR, wait, I’m confused. Is Chanel talking to me? Am I a useless Kappa slut?" Simply ask yourself the following question aloud: "IS MY NAME CHANEL #3, CHANEL #5, CHANEL #6 or ZAYDAY WILLIAMS?” If the answer to that is YES then FELICITATIONS! THIS MISSIVE IS FOR YOU! So, do you all remember when we agreed to meet at the campus pool and kill the Dean and I got you all awesome new phones so that when it came time to meet, the phone would light up a certain color, and when it did, you didn’t even have to answer it? You just had to come meet at the aforementioned pool? And then do you remember NOT coming to the pool, despite me making it super easy for you by concocting a plan so simple that an orangutan could have figured it out? Like, literally a circus ape of moderate intelligence could have looked down at the phone sticking out of the single pocket in the front of his comical lederhosen and seen it light up and used his short little legs to waddle over to his tiny motorized shriners car and driven to the pool like I asked. Do you remember any aspect of this SUPER SIMPLE PLAN? That’s not a rhetorical question. I’m literally asking if your tiny slut brains have the power to process ANY OF MY SUPER-SIMPLE ORANGUTAN LEVEL INSTRUCTIONS! Because what I remember is that NONE OF YOU SHOWED UP! Which meant I had to sit at that stupid pool by myself like a GRADE-A ASSHAT with a bag full of enormous chains to drown Dean Munsch with and then have a super awkward convo with her where I was like “OH DURR I JUST LIKE BRING ENORMOUS CHAINS TO POOLS” and I looked like a total div. I don’t entirely know what you whores could have been doing that was more important than helping your chapter president drown a serial killer, but unless that thing you were doing was getting enemas of pure liquid gold at a new local establishment called "LIQUID GOLD COLONICS FOR YOUNG SLUTS", like, if you were doing LITERALLY ANYTHING else, you all should seriously consider doing the human race a favor and getting sterilized. I’m not being facetious, I literally think you should consider undergoing a surgical procedure to remove your ovaries, thereby sparing human race exposure to your DNA. You four trollops ARE THE WORST SPECIMEN OF HUMAN BEINGS EVER BORN and you should all REALLY watch your backs, because if this serial killer targeting Kappa house doesn’t chop off your heads, I'M GOING TO DO IT! So I can sell your tiny whore brain pans to science.<br>Sincerely,<br>Chanel Oberlin. === ''[[w:The Final Girl(s)|The Final Girl(s)]]'' [1.13] === :'''Hester Ulrich''': Even though I only ate asylum food and never really exercised, I was blessed with a super tight bod. My butt could launch a thousand ships, and my boobs were remarkably perky and even. Couple that with my BJ lips, and I was gonna need something pretty spectacular to keep everyone from wanting to get all up in this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hester Ulrich''': Oh, more than some, Dean. I-I read your best-selling New York Times book three times. Th-These kids were martyrs for a much bigger cause. :'''Dean Cathy Munsch''': I know it was you, Hester. I remember that little girl's face in the bathroom that night. Burned into my memory, like Joe Theismann's injury and Two Girls One Cup. I remember every detail of her little face. And I certainly would know what she would look like all grown up. :'''Hester Ulrich''': It's not my fault that all of that happened to me. You see how awesome Wes is. He would've been my dad. I would've had a good life. Maybe if I would've had a real dad, my brother wouldn't have turned into such a douche. Maybe family trips to ski in Innsbruck or to Williamstown to see Tim Daly in Death of a Salesman would've turned me into a much more sane young woman. But that didn't happen. And I can't be blamed for the painful circumstances of my upbringing. :'''Dean Cathy Munsch''': No, but those kids died. They're dead. And that is your fault. :'''Hester Ulrich''': I didn't kill any of these kids. Except for Pete, but he's a killer, so that's allowed. :'''Dean Cathy Munsch''': By the state, Hester. After a trial and lengthy appeals and using drugs that are mostly painless. :'''Hester Ulrich''': It all worked out, Dean. And I'm never gonna kill again. As long as I'm not texting and driving. Everyone got what they wanted. And even if the Chanels didn't actually kill any of these people, they perpetuated the system that created me and my brother, Pete and Gigi. So if anyone should pay for this, it should be them. :'''Dean Cathy Munsch''': I also have a conscience, and a responsibility to all those dead kids, that their killer be brought to justice. So I am gonna turn you in, Hester. :'''Hester Ulrich''': Then I'm gonna turn you in, for covering up the murder of my mother and killing your ex-husband.... Or we could just say we're good... and move on. To our very happy and successful best-selling lives. == Cast == * [[Emma Roberts]] - Chanel Oberlin * [[w:Skyler Samuels|Skyler Samuels]] - Grace Gardner * [[Lea Michele]] - Hester Ulrich / Chanel #6 * [[w:Glen Powell|Glen Powell]] - Chad Radwell * [[w:Diego Boneta|Diego Boneta]] - Pete Martinez * [[w:Abigail Breslin|Abigail Breslin]] - Libby Putney / Chanel #5 * [[w:Keke Palmer|Keke Palmer]] - Zayday Williams * [[w:Oliver Hudson|Oliver Hudson]] - Weston Gardner * [[w:Nasim Pedrad|Nasim Pedrad]] - Gigi Caldwell * [[w:Lucien Laviscount|Lucien Laviscount]] - Earl Grey * [[w:Billie Lourd|Billie Lourd]] - Sadie Swenson / Chanel #3 * [[Jamie Lee Curtis]] - Dean Cathy Munsch == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=4145384|title=Scream Queens}} * {{Official website|http://www.fox.com/scream-queens}} [[Category:2010s American black comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American horror TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American mystery TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American satirical TV shows]] [[Category:American TV shows featuring puppetry]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:College TV shows]] [[Category:FOX shows]] [[Category:Horror comedy TV shows]] [[Category:TV shows about death]] 7rwepc67xwjhfuwpu32ixj65cwql1tu Batman: The Brave and the Bold 0 184186 3147716 3127487 2022-07-26T20:11:57Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Batman: The Brave and the Bold|Batman: The Brave and the Bold]]''''' (2008 - 2011) is an American animated television series based in part on the [[w:DC Comics|DC Comics]] series ''[[w:The Brave and the Bold|The Brave and the Bold]]'' which features two or more super heroes coming together to solve a crime or foil a super villain. As the title suggests, the cartoon focuses on Batman's regular "team-ups" with various heroes similar to the most well-known version of the original comic book series. == Season 1 == === ''The Rise of the Blue Beetle!'' [1.01] === :'''Batman''': What is this now, the fifth or sixth deathtrap I've been tied up to because of you over the years? Ridiculous! :'''Green Arrow''': Hey, I said I was sorry. Up and to the right. Who knew his wristwatch was equipped with knockout gas? What, like you've never made a mistake, Bats? :'''Batman''': Apparently I made one when I thought you could help me stop the Clock King. :'''Green Arrow''': You keep complaining. It gives me more time to show you up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jaime Reyes''': Okay, okay, here's one. Poison Ivy has used her mind-control spores on Superman to pit him against Batman. Oh, oh! And Batman has no kryptonite. Who wins? :'''Paco''': Easy. Superman. :'''Jaime Reyes''': Wrong. Batman, by using his kryptonite. :'''Paco''': You just said he has no kryptonite. :'''Jaime Reyes''': Trick question. Batman always has kryptonite. === ''Terror on Dinosaur Island!'' [1.02] === :'''Plastic Man''': Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Because I'm seeing gorillas riding pterodactyls, with harpoon guns, stealing a boat. :'''Batman''': It's Gorilla Grodd. :'''Plastic Man''': It's messed up is what it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gorilla Grodd''': You amuse me, Batman. You dress as an animal. You battle against the worst of humanity, the vile underbelly that only seeks to destroy. You should join my noble cause. :'''Batman''': My only cause is to send you back to the zoo. === ''Evil Under the Sea!'' [1.03] === :'''Aquaman''': And that's how I recovered the stolen statue. I call that "The Mystery of the Stolen Statue." "The Secret of the Mechanical Sea Monster." "Coral Reef Rescue." And the time I wore an eye patch to infiltrate a crew if pirates, I call that… :'''Batman''': "Aquaman's Undercover Adventure." :'''Aquaman''': No. "The Time I Wore an Eye Patch to Infiltrate a Crew of Pirates." What you said is good, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aquaman''': Outrageous! I knew you had a hero inside you looking for a way out. :'''Orm Marius''': It was easy. Every time I smashed the machine, I just imagined it was your face. :'''Aquaman''': Oh. Well. Good job. === ''Day of the Dark Knight!'' [1.04] === :'''Green Arrow''': Okay, Doc, where are we? :'''Merlin''': Better to ask, "When are we?" It is the fifth century A.D., the place is Britain, and I… am Merlin Ambrosius. :'''Green Arrow''': No, really, where are we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Arrow''': That's fourteen for me, Bats. :'''Batman''': We're fighting for our lives against a horde of supernatural creatures. This isn't the time for infantile games. ''[takes down a monster]'' Fifteen. === ''Invasion of the Secret Santas!'' [1.05] === :'''Red Tornado''': Merry Christmas, Batman. :'''Batman''': Now's not the time, Red Tornado. :'''Red Tornado''': But isn't Christmas tomorrow? :'''Batman''': Not what I mean. Tornado, behind you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Thomas Wayne''': Merry, Christmas, son. Let's see what Santa brought you. :'''Young Bruce Wayne''': Based on the dimensions, and weight of the package, and the sound of what's inside, I think I've deduced exactly what it is! :'''Thomas Wayne''': Our little detective. === ''Enter the Outsiders!'' [1.06] === :'''Wildcat''': You and your gizmos. Come on, we should be on the chase, not playing mad scientist. :'''Batman''': You know, nowadays, there's more to fighting crime than a thick skull and fists. And I wouldn't need to track them with gizmos if I didn't have to bail you out while they got away - twice! :'''Wildcat''': And who says I needed you to bail me out?! You know, I've been doing this since you were in bat-diapers, and I've gotten along just fine! :'''Batman''': You're right - you ''have'' been doing this a long time. Maybe ''too'' long. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wildcat''': This is my fault. The world's changed around me, and I'm still the same as I've always been--all fists, no brains. You were right. I should have retired a long time ago. :'''Batman''': If I wanted you to retire, it's because you've been like a father to me. And I didn't want to lose another one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Slug''': I'll pound you into dust! :'''Wildcat''': I'd better turn up my hearing aid, because all I can hear is you sucking wind. === ''Dawn of the Dead Man!'' [1.07] === :'''Batman''': Revenge is a poison that rots a man from within. :'''Gentleman Ghost''': No, my friend. Revenge is a fire that keeps me warm in the eternal cold of the grave. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Speedy''': Ohh, what's going on? :'''Green Arrow''': You were doing a Batman impersonation. :'''Speedy''': Gosh, huh, I was? :'''Green Arrow''': And not a very good one. Observe the master. ''[in deep voice]'' I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman. And these are my hammers for justice. === ''Fall of the Blue Beetle'' [1.08] === :'''Blue Beetle II''': People just don't appreciate the time and expense that goes into this high-tech gear. They'd rather see fisticuffs. :'''Batman''': True. Uppercuts and bodyslams are no substitute for having the proper tools when it comes to crimefighting. But they are a whole lot more fun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': But being chosen doesn't make you a hero. What you choose does. === ''Journey to the Center of the Bat!'' [1.09] === :'''Aquaman''': But how small are we? :'''Atom''': About 15 microns. Small enough to slip between Batman's cells without damage. And uhh, that's Batman's cilia you're hanging from. :'''Aquaman''': Cilia and sillier! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Atom''': As we travel through the villi, the CP4 barium sonar wave will indicate any monoclinic phylosilicates in our vicinity. :'''Aquaman''': English, man, English! :'''Atom''': Uhh, this little doohickey beeps when the cooties are near. :'''Aquaman''': Ahh, I... cooties, yes. === ''The Eyes of Despero!'' [1.10] === :'''Wotan''': Without your helmet, Fate, you are defenseless. (''laughs maniacally'') :'''Dr. Fate''': (''punching him'') I'd call those boxing lessons I got from Bats a pretty good defense. :'''Batman''': Told you. it's not the helmet, it's the man. :'''Dr. Fate''': Maybe. But I prefer helmets to haymakers any day. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cavalier''': Batman! If thou thinketh thou can stop me, then have at thee! :'''Batman''': (thinking) Somewhere, Shakespeare is spinning in his grave. <hr width="50%"/> :'''G'nort''': Okay, okay, all I gotta do is say the oath and save the world. I can't remember it! Ohh, no, no, sure I can. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it. "In sunniest day, in cloudiest night, no bad guy shall escape my bite..." Oh no, that's not it! === ''Return of the Fearsome Fangs'' [1.11] === :'''Jonah Hex''': Well, I suppose you'll be wanting a share of the bounty for these here outlaws. :'''Batman''': Keep it. I fight for justice, not money. :'''Jonah Hex''': At least take this and get yourself a proper cowboy hat. I can't be partnering up with someone who parades around in that ridiculous bat getup. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bronze Tiger''': You're outmatched. :'''Batman''': Maybe. But you left the school before learning Wong Fei's most important lesson: when outmatched, cheat. === ''Deep Cover for Batman!'' [1.12] === :'''Scarlet Scarab''': Totally. The others don't know what I'm capable of. One day I'll show them. I've got the true heart of a hero. :'''Batman''': ''[thinking]'' Hero? A possible ally? :'''Scarlet Scarab''': I keep it in a big jar at the back of my closet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scarlet Scarab''': Plan "B"? But guys, you can't be serious about using Cyclone's bomb to wipe out their entire planet. :'''Blue Bowman''': And why not? :'''Scarlet Scarab''': Because after that, what other crime could possibly taste as sweet? === ''Game Over for Owlman!'' [1.13] === :'''Joker''': Tsk, tsk, tsk, Batman. Our game was so simple--brooding hero, dashing devil-may care villain. I strap you to a drill press, you lock me in a rubber room, and it's fits and giggles till Aunt Fannie comes home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': We'll make the bestest team ever! Joker and Batman! ''[Batman frowns]'' Fine, Batman and Joker. Take top billing, but why is it always me compromising for the sake of the act? === ''Mystery in Space!'' [1.14] === :'''Saradath''': Welcome, Aquaman. If the most brilliant strategist on Earth sees fit to bring you to Rann in our hour of need, you'll doubtless prove an invaluable ally. :'''Aquaman''': Oh, how I wish that were true. :(''everyone stares'') :'''Batman''': He's not feeling well. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aquaman''': How's your aim, Batman? :'''Batman''': Impeccable. :'''Aquaman''': We'll see about that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. And you. Are you willing to face impossible odds to save the woman you love? :'''Adam Strange''': Of course. :'''Aquaman''': Good answer. === ''Trials of the Demon'' [1.15] === :'''Dr. Watson''': Evidence does seem heavily stacked against Blood. :'''Sherlock Holmes''': What did I tell you about being an imbecile? :'''Dr. Watson''': To... stop? :'''Sherlock Holmes''': Precisely. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Sherlock Holmes, I presume? :'''Sherlock Holmes''': How did you deduce my identity so quickly? :'''Batman''': The hat. === ''Night of the Huntress'' [1.16] === :'''Batman''': Listen, Beetle. Women are a tricky, tricky business. You have to decipher nearly incomprehensible code. You push the right buttons, get past their firewalls. Only if you can do all that will you find what you're looking for. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Huntress''': Way to go, rookie. :'''Blue Beetle''': I'm sorry, but your hotness distracted me. === ''Menace of the Conqueror Caveman!'' [1.17] === :'''Booster Gold''': Skeets, old buddy, you know what I got to do? :'''Skeets''': I know what you should do, sir. :'''Booster Gold''': I gotta team up with Batman! :'''Skeets''': Or that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': How did you track me here? :'''Booster Gold''': In the 25th century, the Batcave's a historical attraction. With a roller coaster. In 400 years or so, I'm gonna hurk right up there. === ''The Color of Revenge!'' [1.18] === :'''Crazy Quilt''': Cowards! Step forth, and submit to my genius! :'''Young Robin''': Holy delusion of grandeur, Batman. I think Quilt is a few colors short of a rainbow! :'''Batman''': He needs to be taught to stay between the lines. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Well done, old chum. :'''Robin''': Thanks. I'm glad you finally have faith I can do things on my own. :'''Batman''': I've always had faith in you, Robin. That's why I trusted you to work the streets of Bludhaven solo. :'''Robin''': Well, I learned from the best. === ''Legends of the Dark Mite!'' [1.19] === :'''Batman''': You're not from around here, are you? :'''Bat-Mite''': I'm from the fifth dimension. Beings from my realm have powers that you 3-Ds take for magical. :'''Batman''': A friend of mine in Metropolis told me about menaces like you. :'''Bat-Mite''': I'm not a menace. You're my hero! :'''Batman''': Green Arrow's going to love this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bat-Mite''': Yes, you've got a question? :'''Fanboy''': I always felt Batman was best suited to the role of gritty urban crime detective, but now you guys have got him up against Santas, and Easter bunnies? I'm sorry, but that's not my Batman! :'''Panel Member''': (''hands Bat-Mite a piece of paper'') Here, read this. :'''Bat-Mite''': "Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots then the tortured avenger, crying out for mommy and daddy." And besides, those Easter bunnies looked really scary, right? === ''Hail the Tornado Tyrant!'' [1.20] === :'''Tornado Champion''': But why is there evil in the world? :'''Red Tornado''': Human philosophers have endeavored to answer that question for thousands of years, Son, and have yet to find an adequate answer. :'''Tornado Champion''': Do you have an answer, Father? :'''Red Tornado''': No answers. Just an observation: human kindness is far preferable to human cruelty. :'''Tornado Champion''': Why is it preferable? :'''Red Tornado''': Because. :'''Tornado Champion''': "Because" is not a logical answer, Father. :'''Red Tornado''': Perhaps not, but based upon my studies of humankind, it is the only answer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': There's a difference between justice and revenge. :'''Tornado Champion''': The difference is that revenge is more efficient. :'''Batman''': The difference is morality. :'''Tornado Champion''': Morality!? I am above human morality!! === ''Duel of the Double Crossers!'' [1.21] === :'''Batman''': Listen, strength comes in numbers. We can survive this if we work together. :'''Arges''': Yeah? The guy in the last battle said the same thing. :'''Batman''': How'd that work out for him? :'''Gordanian''': Ask him yourself. (''points out a pile of broken armor'') :'''Batman''': ...right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lashina''': You gonna shoot an unarmed opponent? :'''Jonah Hex''': Fair's fair. :'''Lashina''': Besides, hand-to-hand combat is so much more... personal. :'''Jonah Hex''': You can tell a lot about a fellow by the way he fights. :'''Lashina''': So, what do you know about this fella? :'''Jonah Hex''': Give me a few more swings, and maybe I'll tell ya. === ''Last Bat on Earth!'' [1.22] === :'''Mister Miracle''': Pretty good tandem escape, eh, honey? :'''Big Barda''': You know what would be a real miracle? If you finally clean out the garage. :'''Batman''': Guess there's one trap you can't escape form. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Professor Carter Nichols''': This beacon will allow the time ray to find you in the time stream and return you to the present. :'''Batman''': In other words, don't lose it. === ''When OMAC Attacks!'' [1.23] === :'''Equinox''': ''[to Batman]'' They say the flapping wings of a single butterfly can stir a wind on the other side of the world. Ever wonder what impact your little bat wings have on this world? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Destroying one city doesn't make up for the destruction of another, Equinox. :'''Equinox''': The universe requires equilibrium. Without it, everything deteriorates into chaos. You of all people should appreciate my efforts. You maintain equal parts of dark and light. It's what makes you such a formidable opponent. === ''The Fate of Equinox'' [1.24] === :'''Dr. Fate''': Will you hear our pleas? :'''Batman''': Listen. we've got major problems! :'''Typhon''': There's more than a little chaos in this one, Nabu. I like him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Fate''': With your permission, I'll borrow all your powers and skills, in the faint hope that combined into a single hero, they may give one of us the necessary edge to defeat Equinox. :'''Plastic Man''': So who gets the powers? :'''Aquaman''': A battle royale against insurmountable odds? A clash of titans? My friends, the choice is clear. :'''Batman''': Fate gets the powers.

[2.10] === :'''Faceless Hunter''': The time came that my master's eye settled upon a new prize--a blue-green jewel glittering in the ocean of space. This world was warm and inviting, and the primitive inhabitants could be controlled by his psychic parasitic clones. My master learned that this was a planet of heroes, beings with the power to resist the Star Conqueror. It became my mission to subdue the heroes of Earth... and bring them into his evil thrall. They fought bravely, but in the end... all were forced to submit to the Star Conqueror's will.

It's Shazam. Shazam! Shazam! Oh, no! Wait! (''transforms into a mortal'') === ''Chill of the Night!'' [2.11] === :'''Batman''': Joe Chill. You are the slinking coward who murdered Thomas and Martha Wayne. :'''Joe Chill''': That was a lifetime ago. :'''Batman''': Yes. My lifetime! You took them without mercy or regret and in cold blood, Chill! :'''Joe Chill''': H--how do you know this? How could you possibly- :'''Batman''': I know because I watched it happen! I know because I am the son of the man you murdered! I am Bruce Wayne! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phantom Stranger''': He is beaten. Let your devotion to justice temper your rage. :'''Spectre''': He took your parents. Ruined your life. Become what you have trained to be: an agent of Vengeance. He knows who you are.

I don't believe we've had the pleasure. I'm Chimp. Detective Chimp. :'''Vixen''': B'wany, combine him with something, so we can escape. :'''Detective Chimp''': I'd rather he combine you and I, my dear. We'd make quite the couple, don't you think? (''chuckles'') :'''Vixen''': Charming, but moot. B'wany's powers don't work on humans. :'''Batman''': (''notices a bee'') Then use this. :'''Detective Chimp''': Combine my superior genetics with a bee? Are you mad, man? I vociferously protest! I... (''B'wana Beast combines him with the bee'') When I get back, I'm going to sting you. === ''The Siege of Starro! Part 1'' [2.13] === :'''B'wana Beast''': From the beginning, mankind has faced... villains! Selfishly pursuing their dark agendas. Greed. Domination. Destruction. But always rising to oppose them have been heroes. A breed apart. Men and women of valor, selfishly leaping into the fray. Battling for justice and protecting the innocent. What makes a hero? Courage, powers, these are the questions that would be asked about those unlikely few who stood up to the greatest threat this world ever faced. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Booster Gold''': No thanks necessary. It's just a great feeling to know that, when Batman needs help, Booster Gold's at the top of his speed-dial. :'''Batman''': You weren't the first one I called. :'''Booster Gold''': Number two's not bad. :'''Batman''': You weren't the second, either. :'''Booster Gold''': As long as you called. :'''Skeets''': You called him, sir. :'''Batman''': I think you know the way out. :'''Skeets''': We should go before he sics the dog on us again. === ''The Siege of Starro! Part 2'' [2.14] === :'''B'wana Beast''': Why was it that for so many heroes, a lifetime battling injustice was born from some tragic loss? Perhaps because for most, the natural reaction to loss is to wallow in one's pain. To let it eat you up. not for those destined for heroic greatness. Instead, tragedy becomes opportunity to stand up, take stock, and discover what they're really made of. For them it can become... transformative, energizing. And with growth comes wisdom. So the hero can bounce back stronger than before. A champion uncaged, never again to become a prisoner of his demons. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aquaman''': I shall call this adventure, "The Time the C-List Heroes Barely Helped Save the Day." === ''Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!'' [2.15] === :'''Black Lightning''': So, teach, how'd we do? :'''Batman''': Impressively. You've learned to take control, to anticipate. You even knew to take out the bridge to prevent the rest of Kobra's cultists from joining the fight. :'''Metamorpho''': Bridge? :'''Geo-Force''': More cultists? :'''Black Lightning''': Uh... whoops. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kid Flash''': Sorry I've been such a jerk, Jay. It’s Zoom who’s to blame. And when our moment comes, we'll take him down. :'''Flash (Barry Allen)''': Because when you're a Flash, a moment's all you need. === ''The Last Patrol'' [2.16] === :'''Carnival Barker''': What in the name of P.T. Barnum is that? :'''Negative Man''': He calls himself... Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. :'''Carnival Barker''': I love it! Does he have an agent? <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Chief''': The decision, my Doom Patrol, lies with you. :'''Negative Man''': Well, Chief, you taught us that all men are our brothers. :'''Elasti-Girl''': The Pilgrims were just ordinary men and women, too, but they longed for freedom and were willing to fight for it. :'''Robotman''': And the people who wouldn't bow to the Pharaoh, they were just ordinary shepherds and farmers. :'''The Chief''': I guess you have your answer, General. :'''The Doom Patrol''': Fire away! === ''The Mask of Matches Malone!'' [2.17] === :'''Poison Ivy''': I'll give you one last chance to choose me over oblivion. What do you say? :'''Batman''': Leaves of three, let them be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Catwoman''': Good evening all you gentlemen, mobsters, creeps and crooks, :'''Huntress''': Men in tights come after you, and still, you’re off the hook, :'''Black Canary''': For those who scare and terrorize, it’s the dawn of a brand new day; :'''All 3''': You scum can simply call us, the one and only Birds of Prey! :'''Catwoman''': Green Lantern has his special ring! (Huntress and Chloe: Pretty strong that little thing!) :'''Black Canary''': Blue Beetle's deeds are really swell! (Huntress: But who will bring him out of hell?) :'''Catwoman''': Flash's foes, they finish last!

While all the boys can always save the day, No one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey!: :'''Catwoman''': Green Arrow has heroic traits, that is when he's shooting straight! :'''Black Canary''': (spoken) Hey! :'''Catwoman''': I'm just saying... :'''Black Canary''': Aquaman is all courageous! :'''Huntress''': His little fish, less outrageous. :'''Black Canary''': Plastic Man can expand. :'''All 3''': Becomes putty in our hands! While all the boys can keep you punks at bay, No one does it better than the Birds of Prey (2 Unknown Mobsters: The one and only Birds of Prey) :'''All 3''': While all the boys can always save the day, No one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey! :'''Catwoman''': Batman throws his Batarang, what a weapon, what a bang... :'''Black Canary''': Check out that utility belt, sure can make a girl’s heart melt... :'''Huntress''': He’s always right there for the save, I’d like to see his secret cave... :'''All 3''': While Batman does things in his special way, he'd do it better with the Birds of Prey! (BC: The one and only Birds of Prey!) :'''All 3''': While Batman always seems to save the day, No one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey! Birds of Prey... :'''Catwoman''': Meow... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Catwoman''': You two are useless. :'''Black Canary''': Oh yeah? Well, you... are... useless! :'''Huntress''': Nice comeback there, chief. === ''Menace of the Madniks!'' [2.18] === :'''Booster Gold''': I don't get it. If we want to fix the future, why didn't we travel to just before I showed up before, then, tell me not to visit Ted? :'''Batman''': That would just create another dangerous time paradox. :'''Booster Gold''': Or, better yet, go back to just before I left to come here to stop me then. :'''Batman''': That's not how time travel works. :'''Booster Gold''': Wait a minute. What about visiting my mother before I was born? And... :'''Batman''': Look, I'm not going to explain the intricacies of time travel to a man without a library card. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': You never said you and Booster were friends. :'''Blue Beetle II''': It never came up. :'''Batman''': A consummate professional like you friends with a dilettante like Booster? :'''Blue Beetle II''': You're both my friends, okay? You're more of a work friend, and Booster is more a fun friend. :'''Batman''': What's more fun than fighting crime? :'''Booster Gold''': Ooh, he's got you there. === ''Emperor Joker!'' [2.19] === :'''Robin''': We caught you red-handed, Firefly! :'''Batman''': But you'll be black-and-blue if you don't give yourself up. :'''Firefly''': Batman, color me unimpressed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joker''': (''after killing Batman'') I can't believe it. He's... he's actually gone. Let's take a moment to reflect on the passing of a man who was more then just another do-gooder in tights. He was the best arch-nemesis a sociopath could ask for. (''falls silent'') Okay, let's do it again! === ''The Criss Cross Conspiracy!'' [2.20] === :'''Atom''': I thought you said help was on the way? :'''Batman''': It is. We just need to hold off Bug-Eyed Bandit a little longer. :'''Atom''': Well, I hope you called the most intelligent, quick-witted hero you could find. :'''Aquaman''': Sorry I'm late, old chums. :'''Atom''': We're doomed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katrina Moldoff (in Batman's body)''': Darling, I don't have to answer to you. I'm Batman. :'''Batgirl''': Did he just call me "darling"? :'''Katrina Moldoff (in Batman's body)''': What are you waiting for, an invitation? The Riddler's escaped and we're going to find him. :'''Nightwing''': This time that freak's looking at 20 years behind bars. :'''Katrina Moldoff (in Batman's body)''': I have a much worse fate in mind. :'''Batgirl''': Life in solitary? :'''Katrina Moldoff (in Batman's body)''': Try no life at all. :'''Batgirl''': Umm, you lost me. :'''Katrina Moldoff (in Batman's body)''': Why am I not surprised? We're going to extinguish Riddler and do you know why? Because I hate him, hate him, hate him! Uhh, by that I mean he's a menace that must be terminated once and for all. === ''The Plague of the Prototypes!'' [2.21] === :'''Green Arrow''': You're lucky I keep Star City so clean, Bats. Otherwise I wouldn't have time to pick up your slack as an intergalactic cop. :'''Batman''': Yes, I remember when I was only responsible for a single city instead of a country, planet, solar system, and overall existence of all known life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': You can be gentle. :'''Proto-Bot''': Have to be. Kittens are not just cute. But also delicate and defenseless. :'''Batman''': Okay, Proto, you're back on the mission. But only if you promise to treat every citizen as if they were a kitten. Delicate, cute, and defenseless. === ''Cry Freedom Fighters!'' [2.22] === :'''Batman''': Thanks for the assist, O'Brian. We can't let these hoodlums disrupt Election Day. :'''Plastic Man''': So that's why there are all of those flags everywhere. I just figured today was the Fourth of July or something. :'''Batman''': It's January. :'''Plastic Man''': I know. That's why it seemed so weird to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Plastic Man''': They were freedom fighters! And you can be, too. :'''Qwardian''': But we would be facing impossible odds. :'''Plastic Man''': Did that stop [[Abraham Lincoln]] when he was outnumbered by the Redcoats on the D-Day? No. And when [[John Paul Jones]] and Ringo ran out of tea in Boston, did that stop them from throwing their party? Of course not. Yes, my friends. I, like George Jefferson before me, cannot tell a lie. Help me, and together we shall let freedom ring. === ''The Knights of Tomorrow!'' [2.23] === :'''Question''': Kalibak. Darkseid's demented progeny. I don't know who smells worse: you or the dogs. :'''Kalibak''': The only stench you'll be smelling is your own, as you cook over the firepits of Apokolips. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Damian Wayne''': But what if I want to be a scientist? :'''Bruce Wayne''': Crime fighting is a science. :'''Damian Wayne''': What about a race car driver? :'''Bruce Wayne''': The Batmobile is the fastest car on the planet. :'''Damian Wayne''': Astronaut? :'''Bruce Wayne''': The galaxy is just another neighborhood to patrol for a crime fighter. === ''Darkseid Descending!'' [2.24] === :'''Batman''': Sorry, Frost, but I make it my business to protect innocent lives. :'''Killer Frost''': Innocent? You call the man who broke up with me via text message innocent? :'''Batman''': Incredible. :'''Jason Rusch''': Really? :'''Ronnie Raymond''': Quick and painless. It's the humane thing to do. :'''Killer Frost''': I could've handled that indignity if he didn't make me pay for all of our dates. :'''Jason Rusch''': What is wrong with you, Coach? :'''Ronnie Raymond''': Hey! How did I become the bad guy here? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': Boom Tubes. Dimensional portals used by the forces of Apokolips. :'''Aquaman''': Then adventure calls. :'''Guy Gardner''': Let's get down there so you punks can see a real hero in action. :'''Ice''': The Greeks must be stopped! :'''Booster Gold''': Got to text my publicist. Skeets! How many p's in "impending"? :'''Skeets''': One, sir. :'''Fire''': Is this suit too short for world-saving? :'''Blue Beetle''': Umm, I wonder if it's short enough? === ''Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!'' [2.25] === :'''Bat-Mite''': Scooby-Doo, Batman, and Weird Al. It's the holy trinity of pop culture! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Weird Al Yankovic''': Joker's trapdoor slid me right into the theater's old elevator shaft. Luckily, there was all this cash at the bottom to break my fall. :'''Fred Jones''': So the only question now is, what to do with it? We can't return it to Bulldog Benson. :'''Shaggy Rogers''': Like, we could split it up. :'''Weird Al Yankovic''': Or, I could use it to finance my life-long dream. To turn the old music hall into the Polka and Novelty Song Hall of Fame. :'''Shaggy Rogers''': Or we could, like, split it up. :'''Scooby-Doo Batman''': My good friend, millionaire Bruce Wayne, is a big polka fan.

Who's gonna push my brand-new line of Booster Gold menswear. Now you could definitely use a hipper look. Here's a coupon for 15% off at all participating stores. :'''Martian Manhunter''': Thank you, but I'll pass. :'''Aquaman''': Fifteen percent off, you say? By Poseidon, those savings are outrageous! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fire''': You have got a crush on who? :'''Ice''': Aquaman.

Then I met Star Sapphire. She was different. Easy on the eyes. And we actually had a lot in common. She was a humble Earthling who encountered some otherworldly beings. The Zamorans. They chose her to be a host body for their queen. I can't say I blame them. They even gave her a ring. But it came with a hitch. Once that ring slid onto her finger, she was a changed woman. She became a being of pure evil, bent on the conquest of Earth. I never had any problems with ladies before, but like I said, this one is different. === ''Battle of the Superheroes!''

But I have group therapy in 15 minutes. And the other psychotics just hate it when I'm late. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rip Hunter''': Time isn't linear. It's simultaneous.

Steel or flesh, no man can resist the claws of this cat. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lex Luthor''': Attention all sentient beings in the known galaxy. It is I, Lex Luthor. :'''Cheetah''': And I, the Cheetah, in the adorable fur. :'''Joker''': And last but never least, me, the Mountebank of Menace, the Lord of Laughs, the Clown Prince... (''Lex knocks him down'') :'''Lex Luthor''': Joker. === ''Bold Beginnings!'' [3.09] === :'''Space Ghost''': Looks like Creature King got his just desserts. :'''Batman''': Actually, he'll probably be dessert. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Green Arrow''': Well, last thing we need is to have Batman swoop in and save our butts again. :'''Aquaman''': This can't help but remind me of the time Batman and I were trapped together in an adventure I call "The Sea Caves of Doom!" It was... :'''Green Arrow''': Yeah, I remember the first time I worked with Bats.

Penguin, they should call you The Nail, because you're always getting pounded by the Hammers of Justice. I try not to hit your good side, Two-Face, but you don't have one. Riddler, the answer to all your riddles is this. (''punches him'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': I see I missed quite the party. :'''Martian Manhunter''': Yes, my little soiree was just the thing they needed. It seems different generations can bond over a common desire. :'''Batman''': Justice? :'''Martian Manhunter''': Pie. === ''Four Star Spectacular!'' [3.12] === :'''Abra Kadabra''': After our last run-in, I returned to the future to figure out why I failed to defeat an unevolved primitive such as yourself. Do you know what I discovered? :'''Flash''': That you're a terrible villain? :'''Abra Kadabra''': Temporal paradoxes! You're a part of my history, therefore I can not defeat you without changing the timeline. But in my research I found something that may be of interest to you. (''materializes newspaper'') Notice the date? It's today. I may not be able to kill you, but I can watch someone else succeed what I have failed.

Thanks. Sometimes I think people only associate me with the whole "jump the shark" thing. You know, ''[[Married... with Children]]'' was on the air seven years after I came on. Just so you know. :'''Ambush Bug''': Ah-ha! Tricked you into breaking character! :'''Aquaman''': (''with Ted McGinley's voice'') Wha---? Outrag... You know, I don't really get this show anyway. I'm out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Batman''': So, this is really it. :'''Ambush Bug''': Yeah, looks like. At least you can say you had a good run. :'''Batman''': A great run. And until we meet again, boys and girls, know that wherever evil lurks, in all its myriad forms, I'll be there with the Hammers of Justice to fight for decency and defend the innocent.

Hey, well, listen, buddy, you don't play so hot either! :'''Peter''': Yes, but you see, I've only had two hours sleep.

As a matter of fact, you're full of clam dip. Now, sit down and eat. :'''Ralph''': Ma'am, you misjudge me. :'''Jessica''': No, sir, you misjudge me. That book is a pre-publication copy. It hasn't even been released yet. Secondly, your clothes may be faded but they are exquisitely tailored. And third, the term is "bo" and not "hoboing". And finally, on your wrist is an imprint where a watch used to be. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Amos Tupper''': I'm talking about foul play!

I didn't notice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': An unfaithful mate is the oldest motive in the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': That's the puzzle.

And then... Well, it's hard to know yourself, let alone another person. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Captain Daniels''': If she's insane, then I am too. :'''Jessica''': That's precisely what the Bordens said about their daughter [[w:Lizzie_Borden|Lizzie]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Phoebe''': All right, Ms. Pig Out. Don't ask to borrow my bathing suit. No way! :'''Carla''': ''[scarfing down cake]'' Listen, Phoebe! Stuff it, will ya? :'''Phoebe''': That's cute. I like that.

I'll see what I can do but charming snakes has always been one of my minor talents. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henry''': ''[Deadpan]'' J.B. Fletcher. I can hardly wait. :'''Diego Santana''': Oh, you know her? :'''Henry''': Only by reputation. :'''Diego''': You'll have a treat in store, Henry. :'''Henry''': I find most women author to be cold fish, particularly the mystery writers. All this nonsense about bodies buried in rose gardens. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Belle''': I looked over at Margo and I thought the way she was looking at Diego was the same way I used to look at him.

Why don't you devote that boundless energy of yours to needlepoint or bridge club? :'''Jessica''': I tried that and that's precisely the reason I wrote my first book.

Starkey''': Archie Miles was like a father to us. We didn't just like the guy. We loved him, all of us. So believe me, we want to see his killer go down. Permanently. And that's why we're all gonna stay out of Harry McGraw's way. :'''Jessica''': So Mr. McGraw can try, sentence and execute him? :'''Det. Starkey''': Naturally, we'd prefer he turn him over to us first. :'''Jessica''': And if he doesn't? :'''Det. Starkey''': Then at least, we won't have to worry about the possibility of some slick lawyer getting the dirt bag off on a technicality. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry''': You are trouble. :'''Jessica''': Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mr. McGraw, may I make a suggestion? :'''Harry''': Why should you stop now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gavin Daniels''': I'm gonna tell you a secret, Jessica.

Your brains, my knuckles. === ''Sudden Death'' [1.16] === :'''Phil Kreuger''': This is Web McCord, my associate.

Everyone's reading "Woman Unleashed"! :'''Adrian Winslow''': Well, that sort of thing has always sold well over and under the counter. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tiffany''': I'm not a writer.

I never planned to be [[w:Fyodor_Dostoyevsky|Dostoevsky]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adrian''': I suppose you're going to steal Hemsley's murder for a book? :'''Jessica''': Well, good plots are hard to come by.

People check them out and absolutely will not return them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miriam''': As you can see, my husband's mind is cluttered with all sorts of interesting trivia. :'''Prof. Kent Radford''': Better a little cluttered than a empty attic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': After his speech, they had a drawing for the big TV set. I knew we should have been there. :'''Jessica''': Oh, Amos, I'm so sorry. But as nice as that TV set might have been, I'm sure you can live without it. :'''Sheriff Tupper''': But it wasn't my name they drew, Ms. Fletcher.

But why would they want to have him iced? :'''Jessica''': Suppose he had a falling out with Milo Valentine? :'''Det. Barnes''': That wouldn't be a falling out.

You are on my mind, you are in my hair and you're on my nerves! == Season 2 == === ''Widow, Weep for Me'' [2.1] === :'''Jessica''': ''[Posing as a rich spoiled widow]'' My wire specified your largest finest suite. :'''Desk Clerk''': I'm afraid, madam, that the King Louie is already occupied but I'm sure you'll find the Bonaparte quite acceptable. :'''Jessica''': Young woman, I have never found that [[w:Napoleon|little Corsican]] even barely tolerable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Myrna Montclair LeRoy''': Well, I do hope you enjoy your stay. :'''Jessica''': I'm sure I will, Ms. Montclair, or it will be a short one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chief Inspector Claude Rensselaer''': Madame, do you realize that your assumed identity and all this gaudy jewelry makes you a target for the thief? :'''Jessica''': Well, I certainly hope so. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': It's a pity you're so shy. :'''Michael Hagarty''': God cursed me with a natural gift of the gab and an unnatural interest in my fellow man. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheldon Greenberg''': I've been thinking about what you said about Eric Brahm. :'''Chief Inspector Rensselaer''': Your employer? :'''Sheldon''': Hey, my loyalty stops at two dead bodies. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael Hagarty''': You know, I'm a bit annoyed with you. :'''Jessica''': That's nothing compared to what I feel for you, Mr. Hagarty. You gave me a very nasty scare earlier today and now I feel merely angry. :'''Michael''': But no longer frightened. That makes you either very brave or very foolish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Myrna''': Eric had nothing with those murders! :'''Eric Brahm''': Myrna, be quiet. :'''Myrna''': So you can be crucified on the cross of innuendo? My god, the whispers can be heard clear to the States. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': What's this I've always heard about crusty New Englanders? :'''Jessica''': It's just a rumor started by our forefathers to keep out the tourists. :'''Michael''': I see. And if someday I should show up at your doorstep? :'''Jessica''': An exception might be made. :'''Michael''': Then in that case, the question is no longer if but when. === ''Joshua Peabody Died Here... Possibly'' [2.2] === :'''Harry Pierce''': This isn't some bird sanctuary that you're trying to save. This could get ugly. :'''David Marsh''': It already has. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Del Scott''': I'm here covering Henderson Wheatley's latest controversial enterprise. I would like your opinion :'''Jessica''': My opinion? Why? :'''Del''': You're Cabot Cove's most famous citizen. :'''Jessica''': For my books, not my opinions. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Henderson Wheatley''': What kind of a jerkwater town is this? :'''Jessica''': A town that knows how to take care of itself, Mr. Wheatley. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': David, you have the right to remain silent. :'''Jessica''': And I think that would be a good idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''FBI Agt. Fred Keller''': A man must be pretty special to have people willing to stand up before an agent of the United States Department of Justice and each one willing to risk charges of purgery, obstruction of justice and harboring a fugitive. Not many men have friends like that. === ''Murder in the Afternoon'' [2.3] === :'''Herbert Upton''': ''A woman is ne'er a woman 'til time does line her face,'' :''For it's time that gives her beauty and charm and quiet grace.'' :'''Bibi Hartman''': [[w:Robert_Burns|Robert Burns]]. :'''Herbert''': Herbert Upton. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julian Tenley''': C'mon now, you two. Don't let a long day and frazzled nerves make you say things that you don't really mean. :'''Joyce Holleran''': Julian, if you don't mind- :'''Julian''': Anger left standing only festers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Antonelli''': Mrs. Fletcher, let me be frank. Your kind of writing is not my kind of reading. :'''Jessica''': Well, Lieutenant, let me be even franker. Anyone who is capable of imagining that my niece can commit murder is being grossly overpaid for taking up valuable space in this office. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Look, lieutenant. We're both looking for the same thing. Cooperation is the only way! :'''Lt. Antonelli''': I've stopped looking. === ''School for Scandal'' [2.4] === :'''Beryl Hayward''': Jessica, I am so looking forward to hearing your commencement address. :'''Jessica''': Well, I'm still rewriting. Books are easy compared to speeches. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne Clover''': You remember Nick, mother? :'''Dr. Jocelyn Laird''': I'm afraid I do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Jocelyn''': Daphne, I don't want to be rude. :'''Daphne Clover''': But you're going to try. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Art is where it's at. My business manager just bought me a few impressionists. You know what they say: "Keep your money where you can see it", right? I hear [[w:Pablo_Picasso|Picasso]] is really hot. :'''Jessica''': Well, his pictures may be hot but I hear that Picasso is dead. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Chief, excuse me, but I'm not sure- :'''Police Chief E. Griffin''': I am, Mrs. Fletcher. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Jocelyn Laird''': Do you know how much I made for that Walt Whitman biography? Barely enough to pay for a second-hand car. Then I heard how much one of those trash merchants were paid recently. Sordid sex, that's what they wanted. And I was a proper pauper in the literary world while hacks with a third-rate vocabulary were living like royalty! === ''Sing a Song of Murder'' [2.5] === :'''Oliver Trumbull''': A bloke never gets in trouble chasing women. It's after they're caught the trouble begins. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma McGill''': You know, if this weather weren't so ghastly, I think we'd have done much better. :'''Bridget O'Hara''': Right. That and have the powerman black out the telly. :'''Emma''': Oh, for pity's sake! Television can't compare with the sort of live entertainment that we provide. :'''Bridget''': Well, you're right about that. But nothing goes on forever. Even ol' Queen Victoria found that out, she did. :'''Emma''': If you're hinting that I should retire- :'''Bridget''': Oh, no, ma'am. I've passed by hinting around six years ago. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Emma, you've set me up. :'''Emma''': Oh, no, luv! I've merely put you in a position to learn something. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bridget''': His wife, Violet? Now there's one who would make [[w:Lady_Macbeth|Lady Macbeth]] seem like a flower girl. === ''Reflections of the Mind'' [2.6] === :'''Francesca Lodge''': I thought I was alone. I heard noises. I guess I overreacted. :'''Jessica''': That's enough to frighten anyone. Believe me, I'm an expert on the subject. In my books, of course. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Sheriff Bodine has learned that a murder was done due to drugs and not mechanical trouble]'' :'''Sheriff Bodine''': You know I got grease all over my best uniform? :'''Jessica''': It could have been the brake line. :'''Sheriff Bodine''': That's all right, ma'am. If it wasn't for you, we could still be saying it was nothing but an accident. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Margaret, did you clear away the cocktail things yesterday? :'''Margaret''': Yes. Are the glasses clean? :'''Jessica''': Yes, they're absolutely spotless. But this is a new unopened bottle. :'''Margaret''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Jessica''': But when Mr. Lodge made the drinks yesterday, he opened a new bottle and there should be a good part of that one left. :'''Margaret''': In all my years, I've never been accused of dipping into the household liquor! :'''Jessica''': No, that isn't what I meant. :'''Margaret''': I know what you meant, ma'am! But if you're looking for somebody with a dry mouth and a shifty eye, you should talk to that no-account gardener Carl. :'''Jessica''': No, you misunderstood. What I'm saying is that the gin in that bottle could be very dangerous. :'''Margaret''': You can say that again. It was gin that carried off my brother Arnold, may he rest in peace. That's why I never touch the stuff. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': What is it about a death that makes people have second thoughts about what they've written down on paper? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Well, at least keep an open mind. :'''Sheriff Bodine''': Funny. I was about to offer you the same suggestion. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I heard something last night. Someone was in this room. :'''Sheriff Bodine''': Well then, he was wearing a red suit and left his reindeer on the roof because even the windows are nailed shut. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Even ghosts disturb dust when they move vases. === ''A Lady in the Lake'' [2.7] === :'''Grace Overholtz''': Your job is to look after the boats, not the female guests! :'''Jack Turney''': She made the moves on me. I had to be polite. :'''Grace''': She is married! :'''Jack''': I think she knows that. Anything else, boss lady? :'''Grace''': Jack, don't look for trouble. :'''Jack''': That's not what I was looking for. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Howard Crane''': ''[About one of her books]'' The cover showed some babe in a sexy nightgown. I never got to the good stuff. :'''Jessica''': I sometimes have a little difficulty living up to my covers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': As soon as I have Crane's statement, I'll have this case all wrapped up. :'''Jessica''': You sound awfully sure of that. :'''Sheriff Tupper''': I wish they were all this easy. They don't always an unimpeachable eyewitness like you, Mrs. Fletcher. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': This is gonna look real good to the grand jury. The prosecution's star witness trying to prove that the accused is innocent of the crime that she saw him commit! <hr width="50%"/> :''[About Joanna's habit of running naked in the woods]'' :'''Jessica''': Isn't that an unusually beautiful robe? But then I gathered that you are a very unusual young lady. :'''Joanna Benson''': You saw me in the woods this morning. :'''Jessica''': Barely. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Murderer''': It wasn't fair! :'''Jessica''': And what you did to Carolyn Clare, was that fair? === ''Dead Heat'' [2.8] === :'''Vince Shackman''': You like surprises, Bowen? So do I, except I like to do the surprising. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm not much of a better. :'''Ernie''': That's what I used to say before my brother Ron dragged me to the races so now I put my dollar in my money belt under my shorts. That way, I gotta undress to get to my cash. :'''Jessica''': That's one way to hold on to your money. :'''Ernie''': Are you kiddin'? If I had a hot one, I'd go to the window in my birthday suit! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tracy McGill''': Dad was here last week. He doesn't think much of having a jockey in the family. :'''Jessica''': Give him time to get used to the idea. Remember the time he swore he'd never use unleaded gas? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Christine Carpenter''': Jessica has given me my first winner of the day. :'''Jessica''': Something about the color of my scarf. I hope the horse knows. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm delighted to help. :'''Lt. Misko''': You will be more help than I'll need. :'''Jessica''': Believe me, lieutenant, I have no intention of butting into your case. :'''Lt. Misko''': My gut tells me different. Maybe it's indigestion. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': By the way, there is one little thing that has been bothering me. :'''Pat Phillips''': Only one? Glad to hear it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vince''': Now to you, I may look like a bad guy. But I'm a normal person, just like you. I own a house with a mortgage, I drive a nice car, my wife is a kvetch but I love her, my eldest is going to dental school, my daughter is heavily into ballet. But this Bowen thing is messing everything up. :'''Jessica''': And it's messing up my niece Tracy as well. :'''Vince''': If I thought she iced the guy, I'd give her a bunch of roses and a good lawyer. :'''Jessica''': She didn't! :'''Vince''': She must know ''something'' about the race! Anything! Because if she doesn't, in the next couple of days, my wife may be heavily into mourning and grieving. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Misko''': You see, the last two years, I've been keeping track of my bets in this little black book. Not using real money, mind you, because with real money, I'd be, what, 350,000 dollars in the hole. But I figure that's how much I may have had with therapy. :'''Jessica''': But every once in a while, a big winner comes and spoils your fun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cabbie''': Where'd you get your license from, the Braille Institute?! :'''Guzman''': How'd you like to wear that steering wheel for a bowtie?! === ''Jessica Behind Bars'' [2.9] === :'''Mary Stamm''': I used to always dream of being a writer. :'''Jessica''': It's never too late to start. Look at me. I'm living proof. :'''Mary''': You didn't have to fight your way past the parole board. :'''Jessica''': I can't believe you'll ever have a difficult time. Why? What are you in for? :'''Mary''': I murdered my husband. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Ms. Tug, I thought your story was quite delightful. :'''Tug''': Say what? :'''Jessica''': I particularly liked the way the gas station bandit was caught, having the getaway car shift into reverse by mistake and crash into the police car. Now that showed a great deal of imagination. :'''Tug''': Not exactly. That's the way it happened. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Why would the cook come running to the doctor's office? :'''Bertha''': Maybe she ate some of her own cooking. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': If this is [[w:Navarin_(food)|navarin printanier]], I'm afraid both the lamb and the vegetables died of old age. I suggest you give it a decent burial. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': What about Mary? She had a parole hearing coming up? :'''Warden Elizabeth Gates''': She still does. :'''Jessica''': Perhaps I should warn you. I intend to do everything in my power to help with that hearing. :'''Warden Gates''': Don't worry, Jessica. So do I. === ''Sticks and Stones'' [2.10] === :'''Jessica''': Er... Michael, about this series of books that you are writing - :'''Michael Digby''': -all dealing with undiscovered pockets of Americana rich in heritage. :'''Jessica''': Yes, well, uh- :'''Michael''': I hope this won't sound vain but I'm going to put Cabot Cove on the map. :'''Jessica''': If I'm not mistaken, it already is. :'''Michael''': I mean everybody's map! And the last place I covered has really boomed! A new golf course, artist condos, a marina. :'''Jessica''': But what happened to the heart of the town? :'''Michael''': They turned it into a shopping mall. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elvira Tree''': I do not have to submit to these insults. I will have you off my property, Mr. Hoffman! :'''Friedrich Hoffman''': You forget my lease! :'''Elvira''': You, sir, forget your manners! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amos Tupper''': My peacekeeping days are behind me... Of course, nothing to say I couldn't help out, especially for an old friend like Harry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm just thinking about what's happening to this town. :'''Michael''': You mean my book? I know you don't think much of it- :'''Jessica''': Oh no no, I was referring to some unpleasant undercurrents, not to mention electrical currents. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Harry Pierce''': One thing is sure. I've got the killer behind bars. Now I just have to figure out which one it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': This is one town I'd like to remember the way it was before I got here. === ''Murder Digs Deep'' [2.11] === :'''Jessica''': ''[Fanning herself]'' Is the weather always like this? :'''Dr. Seth Hazlitt''': Nope! It starts to get hot in a couple of hours. Jess, when I suggested you write a book called "Murder at the Dig", I never dreamed you'd come meandering out to a place like this. :'''Jessica''': Suggested? As I recall, it was more like a dare! :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Now that I don't recall. In any case, when you leave here, you'll have one hell of a book or one hell of a suntan. Maybe even both. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Well, I've met the resident egomaniac, the ingenue and the juvenile. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Not to mention the mysterious Indian and the crusty Yankee doctor. :'''Jessica''': At this rate, I'll have enough characters for a trilogy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Stan Garfield''': So will you be working with us in the pit? :'''Jessica''': Wherever the action is! :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': I hope you enjoy digging a six-foot trench with a teaspoon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': How do you do? :'''Cynthia Armstrong''': Don't ask. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Karen and Steve. They've been sniping at each other since I got here. :'''Jessica''': Well, it's either a case of heat rash or... something else. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': What, you mean romance?! C'mon, you've seen too many [[w:Clark_Gable|Gable]] [[w:Jean_Harlow|Harlow]] movies! :'''Jessica''': Seth, the trouble with you is you haven't seen enough. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': That Armstrong fella is amazing. He could fall into a pig sty and come up president of the hogs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Benton''': Archaeology is a harsh mistress, Mrs. Fletcher. I remember an expedition in the wilds of Kenya that was positively life-threatening! Weeks of incredible rain! I lost two Louis Vuitton bags. :'''Jessica''': You must have been devastated. :'''Dr. Benton''': One endures. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mr. Armstrong, at the risk of aggravating your already short-tempered disposition, may I remind you that there are laws regarding kidnapping even in New Mexico? :'''Gideon Armstrong''': You're not a prisoner, Mrs. Fletcher. Feel free to leave anytime you want, but not in one of my vehicles. I would remind you that there are laws regarding grand theft in New Mexico. :'''Jessica''': Not to mention murder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': The next time I invite you to a place like this, kick me. :''''Jessica''': Well, the next time I accept, kick ''me''. === ''Murder by Appointment Only'' [2.12] === :'''Jessica''': I'm looking for Grady Fletcher. :'''Glenda Vandevere''': Sorry, I've never heard of him. :'''Jessica''': But he works in the Lila Lee company. :'''Glenda''': God help him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Norman Amberson''': A good secretary learns to forge her boss' signature. :'''Glenda''': I'm saving that for something really big. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Are you so sure it's a robbery? Or did the killer just want it to look that way? :'''Lieutenant Varick''': Maybe it was a robbery because it looked that way. This is New York, Mrs. Fletcher. This kind of self-employment is a way of life for some people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fiona Keeler''': ''[To Jessica]'' If you're an example of what the Vice Squad is sending out these days, our taxpayer dollars are well spent. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': It's so unlike the girl I remember. I mean when did she change? Why? :'''Fiona''': I'm so glad you're without sin, Mrs. Fletcher. :'''Jessica''': I'm not casting stones, Ms. Keeler. I'm just trying to understand. Why did she feel that way? She wasn't underprivileged, she had a good background... :'''Fiona''': None of my girls came up from the street. :'''Jessica''': I'm sorry. It's... it's absolutely senseless! :'''Fiona''': Was her life more senseless than her death? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fiona''': Most men are fairly unpredictable. But a few aren't. Those are the dangerous ones. === ''Trial by Error'' [2.13] === :'''Frank Lord''': This jury has just been hung by this gentleman with the open mind! :'''Josh Corbin''': More like an open cavity if you ask me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Thornton Bentley''': ''[About the defendant]'' And I'll tell you something else, Callahan. Mr. Moneybags is not what he seems. :'''Ally Collins''': Moneybags? :'''Thornton''':Yeah. Rich and got it all! Used to havin' everything his own way! :'''Frank''': Hey hey hey! He isn't rich. His wife had the money! :'''Thornton''': He's got it now. :'''Jessica''': Mr. Bentley, Mark Reynolds is on trial, not his lifestyle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank''': Lady, this is a very simple case of a one-night stand being marred by a tragic coincidence. :'''Jessica''': Interesting that you should say coincidence. :'''Ally''': And every whodunit's gotta have a few, right? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecutor Tom Casselli''': ''[To a motel owner]'' Mr. Harris, do you recognize anyone in the courtroom? :'''Fenton Harris''': In my business, it's good practice never to recognize the customers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank''': Suppose this and suppose that. Now, you gotta stop this, Mrs. Fletcher. You can't turn this into one of your make-believe murder mysteries. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecutor Casselli:'''Had you known the deceased long? :'''Willie Patchecki''': Oh, yeah. We fished together, oh, five or six years. He was livin' with me for eight months. :'''Prosecutor Casselli:''' Would you say he had a temper? :'''Willie''':Temper? ''[Laughs]'' Does week-old fish bait stink? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jackie MacKay''': Mrs. Fletcher has made a lot of sense so far. Why can't we just keep talking and listening, huh? I mean, we're 12 reasonably intelligent people here. We oughta be able to sort this thing out. Damn it! That's what we're here for, isn't it? :'''Gerald Richards''': Well, she is right. Why don't we just keep at it? :'''Drew Narramore''': Okay, Mrs. Fletcher, you have the floor. :'''Jessica''': Oh, dear. I wish I could be a little bit more sure about what I'm doing with it. === ''Keep the Home Fries Burning'' [2.14] === :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Breakfast time. :'''Jessica''':But I've had breakfast. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Ha! I know what you had: Dry toast and a cup of tea. That's mere food. This an experience! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': My goodness, Cornelia. I didn't know you'd left Dixon's Diner. :'''Cornelia''': All my customers started coming here, so I thought I might as well join them. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': At least in the diner you didn't have to dress up as [[w:Betsy_Ross|Betsy Ross]]. :'''Jessica''': Doctors who make their rounds in hip boots hardly qualify as fashion experts. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Betty Fiddler''': ''[About the Joshua Peabody diner]'' Guess what! They don't have bathrooms. They have Adam's rooms. You get a choice: The [[w:John_Adams|John]] or the [[w:Abigail_Adams|Abigail]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margo Perry''': ''[Chuckles as she analyses a mass food poisoning report]'' Baffling. :'''Jessica''':You seem pleased. :'''Margo''': Oh, I'm always pleased, Mrs. Fletcher, when I might be on to something new. Half the time, we never do discover what we're dealing with anyway. So any additional challenge is... enticing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margo''': Sheriff, you'll alert the media? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': The media, ma'am? Oh! You mean Phil up the radio station? :'''Margo''': Don't you have a TV station? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Lots. None of them local. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margo''': Perhaps running tests might be a more effective use of your time, Dr. Hazlitt, instead of developing useless speculations with a crisis hound. :'''Jessica''': A what? :'''Margo''': Oh, there's one in every town, Mrs. Fletcher. Some amateur who gloms on to a crisis and tries to turn an incident that has a perfectly normal scientific solution into a Byzantine plot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': "Red as a beet, mad as a hatter." These are the symptoms of atropine poisoning. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Then it isn't food poisoning. It's-It's poison in the food, and that means... :'''Jessica''': It was murder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': But, well, you know what they say: "As Sheriff Tupper goes, so goes Cabot Cove." :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Who says that? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Everybody, when it comes to food. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margo''': Preliminary tests show negative results for all substances. :'''Jessica''': What is that in English? :'''Margo''': In English? Pfft. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': He's just not a real chef. :'''Alan Dupree''': Why? Because I flunked out of Cordon Bleu aand because then I was fired by my father and my grandfather, and now the final ignominy, to be humiliated by the [[w:Julia_Child|Julia Child]] of Cabot Cove? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''':A mysterious stranger, huh? I've heard better stories from a poacher with a trap in one hand and a rabbit in the other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harrison Fraser III''': Suppose we cut to the bottom line. It's my word against his. I have a great deal of influence in this part of New England. :'''Jessica''': I'm sure you do, but connections won't help you to evade a simple answer to a simple question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margo''': Well, Mrs. Fletcher, I guess this is good-bye. :'''Jessica''': Oh, you're leaving before the case is solved? :'''Margo''': My job is bad food, not murder. === ''Powder Keg'' [2.15] === :'''Prof. Ames Caulfield''': Ah, to be famous and adored instead of merely brilliant. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prof. Caulfield''': ''[When his car leaves him stranded]'' Obviously, the good Lord created this machine to keep me humble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Bonner''': Son, you want to keep that badge, you better learn your job real quick. Folks hereabouts know how the law's supposed to operate, and they're gonna make damn sure it does. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Linda, I must tell you, I find this town, the atmosphere terrifying. It feels as if it's going to explode. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Bonner''': Are you an expert in killing, missus? :'''Jessica''':No, but I think I know something about people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I understand last night that you were prevented from stopping the fight by that young man from the service station. :'''Pat Kelso''': Billy Willetts? Yeah, he stuck a knife in my back just as I was going for the old peacemaker there. :'''Jessica''': What kind of knife was that, Mr. Kelso? :'''Pat''': Sharp, ma'am. === ''Murder in the Electric Cathedral'' [2.16] === :'''Carrie McKittrick''': At my age, 30 years seem like last month. It's last month I have trouble remembering. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rev. Willie John Fargo''': Ms. Jessica, surely you cannot believe I had anything to do with that dear woman's death? :'''Jessica''': At the moment, I don't quite know what to believe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''District Atty. Fred Whittaker''': Look, we have a very sensitive situation here. :'''Jessica''':I realize that you have to be circumspect, but certainly the police- :'''District Atty. Whittaker''': The police? The chief and half his staff just went on sick leave. Seven county judges applied for vacation yesterday! :'''Jessica''': Oh, yes, I see. Leaving you- :'''District Atty. Whittaker''': ...leaving me holding a sackful of diamondback rattlers. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': what puzzles me most is that a massive dose of insulin would almost certainly be fatal to someone who'd had a heart attack. :'''District Atty. Whittaker''': Are you a doctor or something? :'''Jessica''': Writing murder mysteries almost qualifies me, believe me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Earl Fargo''': ''[About the reverend]'' Either he's the smartest [[w:Okie|Okie]] in the state or the dumbest millionaire west of the [[w:Ozarks|Ozarks]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rev. Fargo''': Ruth, why didn't you tell me? :'''Sister Ruth Fargo''': I did, Willie John, every day in a hundred different ways.

Oh, that's nice. :'''Harry''': Well, you know, all work and no fooling around, uh, ain't exactly living. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry''': Yeah, you're a real fairy godmother, aren't you?

First a missing man is dead, and then a dead man is missing! :'''Deputy''': Sheriff? Sheriff, we just found Stew Bennett's van over on Ben Shipley's farm. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Well, Amos, win one, lose one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': You ever thought of becoming a writer? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': No, sir. Me and Mrs. Fletcher have got ourselves an understanding about that. :'''Jessica''': We do? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': I don't write any books, and she don't give out any traffic tickets. === ''Christopher Bundy - Died on Sunday'' [2.19] === :'''Jessica''': Literary Lines Monthly!

Two marriages, two children. :'''Antonio D'Argento''': My uncle's much too busy to raise a family of his own, so he settles for us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Vanessa D'Argento''':So, is it true that writers come up with their ideas by watching the world around them? :'''Jessica''': Well, some do. :'''Vanessa''': Well, keep your eyes open. There's a great book in this family, Mrs. Fletcher, like something out of [[w:Eugene_O'Neill|Eugene O'Neill]]. You could call it [[w:Long_Day's_Journey_into_Night|Long Day's Journey into Oblivion]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Christopher Bundy''': This should interest you- the complete works of Conan Doyle.

I collect. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Christopher''': You are incensed at the idea of one of your stories appearing in a magazine sprinkled with photos of unclothed young ladies. Am I close? :'''Jessica''': Dead on target. :'''Christopher''': ''[Laughing]'' Mrs. Fletcher, over the past 10 years, my various magazines have featured most of America's prize-winning authors. Bundy Publications represent exposure. :'''Jessica''': They certainly do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Christopher''': You're not afraid, are you? That you might get to know me, that I might destroy all those stereotypical notions buzzing around in that pretty head of yours. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chester Harrison''': What would [[w:Ernest_Hemingway|Hemingway]] do? He'd offer no compromise. That's what. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I told him not to quit. You know, to fight for his company no matter what. That's the part that frightens me: The "no matter what" part. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bert Yardley''': Me and Harrison had a little talk the other night. I suggested he wise up and cooperate before he lost everything.

But, you know, I still see flashes of that old form that won you the state championship for Cabot Cove High. :'''Carol''': Lord! That was 10 years ago. :'''Jessica''': Oh, don't remind me. :'''Carol'''':I thought I was gonna be the next [[w:Chris_Evert|Chris Evert]].

I would have introduced you, but he didn't deserve the honor. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': She's a very charming young woman. :'''Elliot Robinson''': Not always, but she's all I have left. You get to be more tolerant when the loneliness of old age starts fogging you in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cissy''': What do you think? :'''Elliot''': Well, it's highly original. :'''Cissy''': ''[To Jessica]'' That means he hates it.

I had no idea your gear box included reverse. :'''Carol''': Anyway, I do apologize. Let's be friends. :'''Cissy''': Let's not. I'd rather cozy up to a virus infection. === ''The Perfect Foil'' [2.21] === :'''Jessica''': Lieutenant, I certainly don't want to intrude on your investigation, but...Well, with everybody moving around the room, they might be erased. :'''Lt. Edmund Cavette''': What? :'''Jessica''': The furnidents. :'''Lt. Cavette''': I beg your pardon? :'''Jessica''': The furnidents. You know, the dents that the furniture makes on the carpet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Cavette''': A picture just flashed through my mind. Two years ago, on a Sunday morning talk show, a charming guest was deftly carving up a pompous book critic. J.B. Fletcher, I presume? :'''Jessica''': ''[Laughs]'' Guilty. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Congressman Brad Gardner''': I don't think you should go pokin' around that club. :'''Rosalind Gardner''': I was about to offer the same advice to you, darlin'. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Cal gets off the phone with his aunt telling her he was in the Amazon]'' :'''Jessica''': Cal, have you ever considered a career in fiction? :'''Calhoun Fetcher''': Well, she doesn't get a whole lot of excitement in her life. :'''Jessica''': You don't have to create any artificial excitement for my benefit. You've already provided enough. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Cavette''': Jessica, you're a warm, attractive woman, but you are also stubborn, pigheaded and mulish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Cavette''': Are you quite ready, Mrs. Fletcher? :'''Jesssica''': Actually, Lieutenant Cavette, it's- it's only a theory. But I'm ready if you are. :'''Lt. Cavette''': I wouldn't deprive you of the pleasure of making a fool of yourself for only me. === ''If the Frame Fits'' [2.22] === :'''Lloyd Marcus''': Someday, Jessica, you and I will have a long talk about the joys of parenthood. In terms of gratification, it ranks right up there with molar extraction. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Police Chief Cooper''': Still safer than New York. They kill you for cab fare. :'''Jessica''': Oh, you worked for the New York Police Department, Chief Cooper? :'''Chief Cooper''': Seventeen years, till the pressure on my arches got to me. :'''Jessica''': Must be much quieter here. :'''Chief Cooper''':Uh, not enough for the wife. She hates late night calls, wants me to go into plumbing with her brother. :'''Jessica''': Plumbers get late night calls too. :'''Chief Cooper''': At 24 bucks an hour, so the wife keeps remindin' me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mayor? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were in insurance, Mr. Tilley. :'''Frank Tilley''': Yeah, well, maybe not for long, the way things are going. Home office is holding the bag, and when they're holding the bag, I'm holding the bag. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julia Granger''': Isn't Donald here yet? :'''Mildred Tilley''': Lose him again, dear? I always know where my husband is. :'''Julia''': Of course you do, Mildred. If you ever let dear Frank out of your sight, no telling what he'd be up to. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julia''': You must think I'm awful, but ever since those two people came here two years ago from New York, Cedar Heights has not been the same. :'''Jessica''': Well, sometimes it takes people a while to adapt. :'''Julia''': The dinosaurs never learned. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lloyd''': So how was the game? :'''Binky Holborn''': Lloyd, my dear friend, I amazed this young thing with my flawless form and my superb follow-through. Unfortunately, for 18 holes the club-head and the balls never did get properly introduced to one another. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Binky''': ''[After having his invitations for dinner refused by a few guests]'' It's just gonna be the three of us then.

But I thought they had arrested Donald? :'''Jessica''': They have. But, um - :'''Mildred''': But you don't believe it. Oh, fascinating! I agree. Jessica, I have three words for you: [[w:Cherchez_la_femme|Cherchez la femme]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ellen''': Donald and I, we happened to run into one another. I wouldn't try to read any more into that if I were you, Mrs. Fletcher.Or it might prove embarrassing. :'''Jessica''': Embarrassing to whom? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Golf is certainly good exercise. :'''Binky''': Oh, my dear lady, this is not exercise. This is a test of one's capacity for total humiliation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank''': You're the chief of police, Cooper, not a plumber. :'''Chief Cooper''': Not yet. The way the wife's been bustin' chops, you may have my badge back by suppertime. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ellen''': If you have something to say, Mrs. Fletcher, why don't you just say it? :'''Jessica''': I'd rather hear it from you. :'''Ellen''': You mean, were Donald and I having an affair? This is the '80s, Mrs. Fletcher. Promiscuity is not exactly page one news. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Binky''': My aged mama and papa spent far too much of it before they passed on. And it's not as if they educated me to make a living, just to enjoy the finer things, I'm afraid. == Season 3 == === ''Death Stalks the Big Top'' [3.1 & 3.2] === :'''Constance Fletcher''': ''[About Carol's wedding dress]'' I'll reserve my judgment until the final fitting on Thursday. :'''Alex Cord''': But, Mrs. Fletcher, this is the final fitting. :'''Constance''':Thursday, 10 o' clock. :'''Carol Bannister''': Grandmother? :'''Constance''': Carol, this gentleman was your choice.

I'd hate to shoot you coming through the door. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daniella Morgana Carmody''': Listen to me, Sutter! You caught me when I was hurting.

Why were you lookin'for him? :'''Jessica''': Well, I wasn't looking for him. :'''Mayor Powers''': And how do I know that? :'''Jessica''': Because I just told you. :'''Mayor Powers''': And there'll be a lot more you'll be tellin' me before this investigation's over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Powers''': You stay out of police business! :'''Jessica''': You could benefit from the same advice, Mr.Mayor. :'''Mayor Powers''': Lady, you're on thin ice! :'''Jessica''': If you think I'm gonna stand by while you railroad a perfectly innocent man for a crime that he did not commit, you are very sadly mistaken! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katie McCallum''': My husband was killed in a high-wire fall last year, and Charlie's just trying to be the man of the family. :'''Jessica''': Oh, my.

Or is it Dennis? :'''Michael''': Dennis this week. And I'll thank you to remember it. I'm not yet ready to be interred in the family plot. :'''Jessica''': Then it's a good thing that you opened your mouth in that restaurant before I put my foot in it. :'''Michael''': Yes, I could see you were about to make a terrible fool out of one of us. Oh, Jessica, you're as lovely as ever. :'''Jessica''': And you're as devious as ever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Michael''': Tomorrow evening then, we'll rekindle the embers over dinner at a lovely restaurant I found in Alexandria.

That empty oil tank storage swindle? :'''Jessica''': You had me running all over New England. :'''Haskell''': Yeah, and your head was all cluttered with hearts and flowers and Frank Fletcher, huh? You wanted to be a teacher? Ah, what the hell! Forget it, forget it! You weren't much help then anyway. :'''Jessica''': Are you kidding? I was terrific! You said so yourself! I would've made a first-rate reporter. :'''Haskell''': Uh, yeah, maybe. :'''Jessica''': Maybe? On my worst day, I was the best legman you ever had! :'''Haskell''': ''[Mock laughter]'' That's the way you remember it! :'''Jessica''': Haskell Drake, you- you are impossible! You're ornery and deceitful and devious! :'''Haskell''': Not to mention manipulative. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Well, for starters, how would you rate Lamar Bennett as a newspaperman? :'''Kay''': A very narrow sense of story. A flair for the dramatic but no real feel for human interest. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Clyde Thorson''': Mrs. Fletcher, I don't wanna talk to you because I heard what you and Mr. Drake are tryin' to do to Mr. Bennett, makin' him a bad person. :'''Jessica''': Mr. Thorson, if that were true, I'd only question people who disliked him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Haskell''': Whoa, whoa, hold it, hold it! Where's your lead paragraph? :'''Jessica''': Well, I'm coming to that. :'''Haskell''': Before you do, they'll be reading the vitamin content off their cereal boxes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Haskell''': ''[Chuckling after talking to a society editor]'' A couple of more minutes and I'd have enough to blackmail half the people in Tulsa. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Caruso''': ''[About being a woman in the police force]'' Some ex-jock can hang a dead fish on the wall or maybe what's left of a moose who didn't move fast enough. That's okay. But when I bring in a few geraniums, you can hear the snickers all the way to Brockton. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Caruso''': You type a nice report, Officer. Anybody ever read this stuff? :'''Policewoman''': Not that I know of, ma'am. I think it goes straight to the files. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nurse Phillips''': Mr. Drake, french fries are not a part of your diet. :'''Haskell''': Don't you dare! No, but you'd rather poison me with chipped beef and tapioca pudding, right? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I understand how you feel, how much you loved the good things about him, but admitting the truth doesn't mean you can't keep those memories. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Haskell''': I have been offered a big overseas assignment in Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok. By Newsmonth, no less. :'''Jessica''': Haskell, that's marvelous! When? :'''Haskell''': Oh! Well, um, as soon as you hand me my trousers. === ''Magnum on Ice'' [3.8] === :'''Capt. Frank Browning''': Don't hold your breath waiting for the bail hearing. Sometimes the paperwork gets misplaced. Sometimes we even lose prisoners. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jason Bryan''': I don't know what you want, Mrs. Fletcher, but I can't help you. :'''Jessica''': Oh, you already have, Mr. Bryan. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Captain, I wouldn't dream of asking you to bend your personal policy for me but a friend of mine in Washington asked me to call the governor while I was here, just a friendly chat. And I intend to compliment the governor on the personal attention that you give to police department policy. The name is Browning, isn't it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Well, I'll have to have a chat with him. :'''[[w:Magnum,_P.I|Thomas Magnum]]''':I'm not so sure that's a good idea. We don't know anything about this guy. He could be dangerous. You could get hurt. :'''Jessica''': As a professional, if you were out, what would you do? :'''Magnum''': I'd talk to Arthur Houston and get some answers. :'''Jessica''': Well, Mr. Magnum, since you can't, I will. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pamela Bates''': I only wanted to return her cookbook. The one she bought and wrapped so prettily for her Aunt Grace? She wanted me to keep it for her, but l- :'''Jessica''': Oh, what pretty paper. It's very light for a book. Maybe it was for dieters. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amy Salyer''': I'll thank you to return my property, please. :'''Pamela''': Amy, dear. I think you owe us some kind of an explanation. :'''Amy''': On the contrary, I think you owe me one. When I give you a package to keep for me, I don't expect you to open it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Victor Salyer''': Look, I know that I'm not the easiest person to live with, but you see, I love her very much. I just want her to know that I'll forgive her anything if only she'll come back to me. :'''Joan Fulton''': Love, honor and forgive? They ought to change the vows! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm not sure that the diamonds have got anything to do with it. Amy told me that the diamonds were left to her by her grandmother. :'''Magnum''': And you believed her? :'''Jonathan Higgins''': Magnum. :'''Magnum''': Well, uh... Come to think of it, I-I can see how you might, uh... It's kind of like the plots of one of your novels, right? Uh, which one? Was it, uh- No, it's not that one. Yeah, I remember. :'''Higgins''': Magnum, it's the only one I sent you. Do you mean you actually read it? :'''Magnum''': Of course, I read it. At least most of it. :'''Jessica''': You didn't finish it? :'''Magnum''': Oh, no, I'm going to finish it. But, uh, I already kind of figured out that your killer's the psychiatrist. :'''Jessica''': Actually, it was the lawyer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joan''': You're going to tell me I have to stop flirting with every man on the island. Jessica, when it comes to grieving, I already gave. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[When Magnum got into Jessica's hotel room by picking the lock]'' :'''Jessica''': You could've knocked! :'''Magnum''': Well, I did. I guess you didn't hear me with the water running. :'''Jessica''': Oh, I see. So you just let yourself in? How do you propose to conduct your little conference? With me in the tub? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Magnum''': I, uh, finished your book, Jessica. Now I would've thought [[w:Dashiell_Hammett|Dashiell Hammett]] was more my style, but I really like the way your mind works. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Victor''': ''[Holding a crowbar]'' This was very effective in opening the door. I'll bet it's just as good at opening a head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joan''': Men always underestimate me. The secret of my success. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Joan''': If I hadn't gotten Houston, he would have sent someone else. Call it self-preservation. It's one of those economic principles they don't teach you at business school. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Magnum''': So, Jessica, what do you say we make a deal? If you don't take out a private investigator's license, I won't buy a typewriter. === ''Obituary for a Dead Anchor'' [3.9] === :'''Kevin Keats''': You could have suggested they give the job to a newsman. :'''Nick Brody''': Hear hear! :'''Paula Roman''': "Newsperson," please. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kevin''': I'm prepping part two of the Ron Ross expos. :'''Doug Helman''': Uh, well... There's not going to be a part two. The legal department killed it. :'''Kevin''': That stinks, Doug. :'''Nick Brody''': The sweet smell of sup-press. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kevin''': Don't you worry about your Cabot Cove gig. I have no intention of drowning in the backwaters of Maine. :'''Doug''': Check your contracts. You have a choice. Either take the assignment or go off salary. :'''Kevin''': On the other hand, I've always loved the smell of sea air. I hope the tide's in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I just got a few things. :'''Dr. Graham''': Uh-huh. Including a new outfit to wear on television? It's one of the symptoms. :'''Jessica''': Oh, is it going around? :'''Dr. Graham''': Lots of foolishness. Everything shined up, everybody's wearin' their Easter duds. I even saw Nils Anderson slappin' on a fresh coat of paint. :'''Jessica''': Well, I don't see anything foolish about that. :'''Dr. Graham''': How nice does a live bait stand have to look? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kevin''': Is this the way you always look? :'''Jessica''': Why? Is there anything wrong with the way I look? :'''Kevin''': No, it's just that my image of you is more homespun. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kevin''': Is it always this quiet? :'''Jessica''': On a good day, you can hear the wind, the ocean and the seagulls. :'''Kevin''': ''[Seeing Sheriff Tupper]'' And which is that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Judith Keats''': I know what you're up to. :'''Kevin''': It's not your business anymore, Judith. Don't intrude in my life. :'''Judith''': You really should learn the difference between an intrusion and a warning. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kevin''': Scrutiny's a hit for one reason, and you're lookin' at him. They toss out producers like so many empty beer cans, but I keep rolling along. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Like the rest of America, I've been a fan of Nick Brody and the news. :'''Nick''': You're very kind. I guess I am kind of a an institution. Something like the [[w:Staten_Island_Ferry|Staten Island Ferry]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patti''': Oh, Nick, you're beginning to sound like a producer. :'''Nick''': It's worse than that. I'm beginning to think like one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Commentator''': Perhaps the greatest tragedy is where Kevin Keats met his end. Urbane, hard-nosed, a legend in his own time, a man who faced death a hundred times in hot spots all around the world, Keats was blown to bits in a jerkwater village where even the crickets die ofboredom, where the part-time mayor conducts town business from a 5x5 room in the back ofhis office, and the sheriff is responsible for supplying the boat that caused his death. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Richard Abbott''': In Televisionland, when the canoe springs a leak, one doesn't bail water. One just looks for a new canoe. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Graham''': I guess I'm not in the same class as Seth. :'''Jessica''': Or the class he thinks he's in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nick''': I'm a newsman. I'm not a performer. I tried to tell Doug that. But whatever he started out believing, in the end, he bought the idea that the wrapping paper - ''the wrapping paper'' - was more important than the package. === ''Stage Struck'' [3.10] === :'''1st Reporter''': Ms. Tarrow, was your stay in the Arizona Health Clinic a success? :'''Maggie Tarrow''': Well, the weather was dry and so am I. :'''2nd Reporter''': Does this mean The Battling Lords are rekindling their romance? :'''Maggie''': I'm not sure. Bonfires can be dangerous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''1st Reporter''': So we can add acting to your list of credits, Ms. Fletcher? :'''Jessica''': Certainly not, no. But I was Applewood's 2nd best set painter. And in case you haven't guessed, there were only two. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Maggie''': ''[After catching Larry and Pru together]'' Larry, may I suggest that you save your performance such as it is for the stage? And Pru, darling, remind me! You are the resident stage manager, yes? Not the resident bedspread?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chief Merton P. Drock''': What's my motivation in this scene? :'''Alexander Preston''': You're a butler. Your motivation is to buttle. <hr width="50%"/> :''[When Julian learns that Barbara may replace Maggie]'' :'''Julian Lord''': You have a personal services contract with Barbara Bennington. :'''Nicky Saperstein''': That has nothing to do with this! :'''Julian''': Which no doubt includes other kinds of services as well! :'''Nicky''': Will you get your mind out of your pants? :'''Julian''': Stop trying to run this show from yours! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Chief, the first rule: Be thorough. Explore every possibility. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I've been watching you, and frankly, you're far more interested in the lives of Julian and Maggie. :'''T.J.Holt''': And I've been watching you nosing around. And frankly, ma'am, forgive me, but you are something of a busybody. :'''Jessica''': Well, call it professional curiosity. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Alexander Preston''': Just what is it you're looking for, Jessica? :'''Jessica''': Vital statistics. :'''Alexander Preston''': If you're looking for accuracy in an actor's resume, my dear, you're looking in the wrong place. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julian''': Jessica, whatever you're thinking, you're wrong. :'''Jessica''': You don't know how much I wish that were true. === ''Night of the Headless Horseman'' [3.11] === :'''Jessica''': My goodness, look at you. You've lost a lot of weight. :'''Dorian Beecher''': Cafeteria food. Thousands for bridles and bits but not one penny for a decent steak. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dorian''': Her name is Sarah. Sarah Dupont. Soft, angelic, a prelude by [[w:Franz_Liszt|Liszt]], a painting by [[w:Pierre-Auguste_Renoir|Renoir]]. :'''Jessica''': She sounds lovely. :'''Dorian''': Her father, on the other hand, Edwin Dupont, is my employer at the academy.

A bad dream by [[w:Salvador_Dalí|Dalí]]. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jessica is put on the spot when she is obliged to act as Dorian Beecher's mother]'' :'''Edwin Dupont''': Mrs. Beecher, aren't you a bit young to have a son Dorian's age? :'''Jessica''': Well, actually, becoming Dorian's mother was one of the biggest surprises of my life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlotte Newcastle''': I want you to stay away from Edwin's daughter. Satisfy your needs elsewhere. :'''Nate Findley''': Is that an order or an offer? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bobbie''': Dorian, she is exactly the way you described her. Elegant as a duchess, soft as a kitten, with eyes that smile with a child's laughter. :'''Jessica''': Dorian, did you say that about me? :'''Dorian''': Well, yes, I suppose I did. :'''Bobbie''': I'm not sure he remembers, Mrs. Beecher. He was totally polluted at the time. Can I get you something? :'''Dorian''': Yeah, I'll have a very dry martini. Make that a double. :'''Jessica''': Dorian, make that a single, dear. I don't want you polluted with me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Edwin Dupont''': Now, Mrs. Fletcher, it is my considered opinion that your friend Dorian Beecher is a cold-blooded killer. But in the unlikely event that you prove otherwise, give him a message for me. He is never again to see my daughter, or there could very likely be another killing in this town. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlotte''': It is Mrs. Fletcher, isn't it? News travels fast. I just got off the phone with Edwin Dupont. Dorian has good taste in mothers even if they are stand-ins. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dentist Penn "Doc" Walker''': You loosened a cap, but I can recement it for you. :'''Dorian''': Is it gonna hurt? :'''Doc''': With all that vodka you're been drinking? === ''The Corpse Flew First Class'' [3.12] === :'''Blanton''': We're delighted you're flying with us, Miss Greer.

Fly alone. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mr. Globle! Here's your script. You know, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the sophisticated imagery and the poetic wit. I see it as a cross between cinema verité and- :'''Gunnar''': Imagery and cinema verité? :'''Jessica''': Yes, I think if you change the title, it might do very well in those quaint little, uh, art theaters. :'''Customs Man''': Anything to declare, sir? :'''Gunnar''': Yes. This is a dud. === ''Crossed Up'' [3.13] === :'''Jessica''': Thanks, Grady, but that breakfast you fixed for me this morning? I mean it really stuck to my ribs. :'''Grady Fletcher''': You mean my famous tuna omelet? :'''Jessica''': Mm-hmm. :'''Grady''': Well, wait till you see this. Tuna surprise! :'''Jessica''': Oh, darling, you've been surprising me all week. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mona''': And don't let that break in the storm fool you.

Is that where you were last night around 10:00? :'''Adam Morgan''': Yes, I invited a young lady up to go sailing. Ah, Miss, um-what is her name? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': In a hurricane? :'''Adam''': Well, Sheriff, since sailing was out of the question, we decided on something else that we both enjoyed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Adam''': ''[About Dody Rogers]'' Frankly, Sheriff, if she treated Gordon with the same affection she shows that pampered little puss, their marriage would look a whole lot less like a rerun of [[w:Who's_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf%3F| Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Adam was in the family beach house with a lady from Portland except the lady's no lady.

That you've done something wrong? :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Yeah. Every time I vote for Amos. === ''Murder in a Minor Key'' [3.14] === :'''Jessica''': Did you ever try to argue with a computer? It is impossible. It's like trying to talk sense to Amos Tupper once he's made up his mind about something. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chad''': What am I supposed to do? Join the public defender's office?

Send me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, your guilty. :'''Mike''': That is cynical! :'''Jenny''': And sick! :'''Chad''': But accurate. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny Young''': Where's Chad? :'''Jenny''': Home studying. He's having trouble with his torts. :'''Danny''': You know, I hear they can cure that these days. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chad''': It's like my Uncle Jack always said: "Findin' a fox in the henhouse don't necessarily mean nothin', unless, of course, he's pickin' feathers out of his teeth". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jenny''': Mike didn't kill anyone. :'''Chad''': And all we have to do is prove it. :'''Jenny''': Is that the royal we, or am I included in this mess? :'''Chad''': It was my bright theory the system always worked, remember? :'''Jenny''': So who says you're always so bright? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Christine Stoneham''': Are you married, Mr. Singer? :'''Chad''': No, I'm not, but I hope to be as soon as I pass the bar. :'''Christine''': It's not a step to be taken lightly. These days, people don't seem to care very much about commitment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chad''': I brought in a pizza. :'''Jenny''': You eat. I popped a button on my jeans this morning. I'm fasting till Yom Kippur. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Max Hellinger''': You think I killed him? What for? I needed his music. :'''Chad''': Maybe he was holdin' out on you. Maybe he was hittin' you up for more money. :'''Max''': Maybe.

Forgive me, I'm-I'm O.D.-ing on frustration here. === ''The Bottom Line is Murder'' [3.15] === :'''Dr. Jayne Honig''': I can sum up the problem in two words: Kenneth Chambers. Steve produces his program. :'''Jessica''': Chambers? Oh, yes, I remember, you wrote me about him. A compulsive egomaniac suffering from delusions of grandeur? :'''Jayne''': That was last month. These days he's even worse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lynette Bryant''': Kenneth, there isn't a South American coup that can match the one I just pulled off. The Hammet Cheese tapes. They're all we need to throw Hammet into the fondue as it were. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': As I remember, you were the life of the party, Mr. Warren. :'''Robert Warren''': Oh, well, forgive me, Mrs. Fletcher. What wasn't a blur is a complete blank. :'''Jessica''': That's very convenient. :'''Robert''': ''[Laughs]'' But when one's best friend steals the love of his life from under his nose, it's either [[w:Laugh,_Clown,_Laugh|"Laugh, Clown, Laugh"]] or slit your wrists and I didn't have the blood to spare. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Robert''': Jayne and I had years of pillow talk. Of course, I was the only one with my head on the pillow. She was taking notes. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm a very good listener with a very short memory. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I am a writer. Crime is my beat.

I don't threaten. I negotiate. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Why was he sitting with his back to the door? :'''Lt. Flannigan''': ''[Laughing]'' To the untrained eye, it must seem strange, but if you'll notice, there's a TV and a VCR behind the desk on that shelf there. He was watching TV. :'''Jessica''': Uh, Lieutenant, with due respect for your trained eye, that is impossible. I was in Mr. Chambers's office and, uh, his television was broken. :'''Lt. Flannigan''': Broken? :'''Jessica''': Broken. Which makes me wonder what he was doing sitting in that odd position. :'''Lt. Flannigan''': Well, obviously... :'''Jessica''': Yes? :'''Lt. Flannigan''': Obviously, uh, this is gonna take some thought. === ''Death Takes a Dive'' [3.16] === :'''Harry''': A few months ago, I take a job from this guy, Benny Falcone, to chase down his daughter, who's run off with some saxophone player. He gives me 5,000, and off I go. Only a week later, the daughter and the sax player show up on his doorstep and move in with him. Now, not only is Falcone steamed at his kid, but he's not too thrilled with me. And he wants his five thou back, which I can't give him, because I no longer have it. :'''Jessica''': But he can't do that! :'''Harry''': So I explained. Except he suddenly developed a loss of hearing and threatened osteopathic damage to my legs unless I cough up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pam Collins''': You ever heard of freedom of the press, fella? :'''Cosmo Ponzini''': Oh, yeah. And I also heard of private property, which this is! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cosmo''': You try to take down the fight business, and a roof might just fall in on your head, you understand? :'''Reporter Dave Robinson''': Was that a threat? :'''Cosmo''': Well, if it isn't, I must've said it wrong! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wade Talmadge''': You an expert on the manly art of pugilism, darling? :'''Lois Ames''': No, darling, just the manly art. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wade''': Good evening, McGraw. Mind if I come in? :'''Harry''': Hey, listen, if the cockroaches don't care, why should I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt.

You strike me as the type that plays with matches. :'''Harry''': Not me. I don't like gettin' burned. :'''Lois''': You only get burned when you're careless. Me, I'm very careful. :'''Harry''': Honey, whatever it is you're sellin', you better peddle it someplace else. Right now, I'm interested in only one thing: Self-preservation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry''': You know, when you're rollin' sevens, you don't ask to see the dice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dave''': That's the first thing they taught me at the Scranton School of Journalism: Murder makes a great headline! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': ''[Chuckles]'' If you're worried about me, Doc, I can go on like this forever. :'''Doc''': Yeah, if forever comes tomorrow morning. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': You know, when they found the body, he was wearing a pair of slacks and a plain white shirt. :'''Pam''': No. No, that doesn't sound like Talmadge. Dave and I bird-dogged him for months. He wouldn't be caught dead lookin' like that. :'''Jessica''': Yeah, but that's just the point. He was caught dead looking like that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dennis McConnell''': Still tryin' to make sense of the ponies, Doc? :'''Doc''': Everybody needs a hobby. :'''Dennis''': Expensive. :'''Doc''': So's women and booze. I tried 'em both. Horses don't talk back, and they don't give you a hangover. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry''': I made a deal with the TV people. :'''Jessica''': But the fight has been canceled! :'''Harry''': I know. But I sold them something even better. The inside story of a tough, resourceful private eye, who single-handedly broke open one of the largest murder cases of the decade. :'''Jessica''': Single-handedly? :'''Harry''': So I exaggerated a little. What's a little white lie between friends? === ''Simon Says, Color Me Dead'' [3.17] === :'''Eleanor Thane''': Left to his own devices, Simon wouldn't see anyone, which is a situation I intend to correct. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felix Casslaw''': This absolutely scruffy fellow comes off Fifth Avenue and into my gallery. I thought he'd been sleeping in Central Park. :'''Eleanor''': ''[Laughs]'' He probably came in to get out of the cold. :'''Felix''': Well, I'd already buzzed security when he had picked out six of Simon's seascapes and wrote me a check in seven figures. :'''Carol Selby''': I know! He found somebody's checkbook! :'''George Selby''': More likely mugged someone. :'''Felix''': Naturally, I don't waste time on people of that ilk. I'd already refused his check and had him hustled out. :'''Jessica''': Is it just instinct or is there a little twist to this story? :'''Felix''': Your instincts do not fail you, Jessica. The next morning, I just happened to be glancing at the Times, and there was this gentleman's picture. He was giving a rock concert at Madison Square Garden. :'''Simon Thane''': So you see, you can't always judge a man by his clothes. :'''Eleanor''': Seven figures. I feel a deep sense of loss, Felix. :'''Felix''': Not to mention my commission. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Carol''': You know, George and I have three Simon Thane's. :'''George''': Best investment we ever made. Makes the Dow Jones look sick. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felix''': A pinch of mystery always adds luster to an artist's aura, not to mention value. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George''': I was gonna have another brandy. :'''Carol''': Well, George, you've had enough to open your own monastery. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': One of the hardest things about losing a husband is all the little things he leaves behind. Sooner or later, when the pain subsides, you have to put them away. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Has all the earmarks of a crime of passion. :'''Jessica''': Passion? :'''Sheriff Tupper''': I know that Simon Thane is somethin' of an institution around here. But just because there's a little snow on the roof, don't mean that there's no fire in the hearth, if you get my drift. :'''Jessica''':I get your drift, Amos. I just think your anchor is slipping. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': You've got (Simon's) signature down very well. :'''Felix''': Well, you see, Jessica, uh, since these are unquestionably Thane paintings, the signature is merely a technicality. :'''Jessica''': And a signed Simon Thane is ''technically'' more valuable than an unsigned one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felix''': There's no doubt in your mind, is there? That Irene Rutledge killed Simon? :'''Jessica''': Until everything is brought out into the open, there's always some doubt. === ''No Laughing Murder'' [3.18] === :''[About attending his son's wedding to his old enemy's daughter]'' :'''Mack Howard''': Honey, I'm not gonna be able to go to that thing tonight. Sorry but I got a very important writers' meeting after the taping. :'''Trudy Howard''': The car's downstairs, darling. I found your favorite old tweed jacket. It's going to be perfect for you up in the mountains. :'''Mack''': Honey, I don't think you quite understand. This is a very important week. The ratings are coming out and- I know that you can explain to Kip and Corrie. They'll understand. :'''Trudy''': Oh, of course I will, darling. And by the way, I do happen to have a locksmith standing by. Because if you don't come, don't bother coming back to the apartment. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Norma Lewis''': ''[About Murray]'' Phil, don't you know aggravation is his life? :'''Murray Gruen''': ''[About Norma]'' That's right. That's why I keep her around. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Norma''': The way I figure it, either you pay the painter or the plumber or the electrician. What it totals out to is if you want this place to look good, use the toilet or see what you're doing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm afraid it's a somewhat less festive group than we'd hoped for. :'''Phil Rinker''': There's always the chance that it'll look better through a brandy glass. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chief Ledbetter''': Acting Chief Wylie B. Ledbetter, ma'am. :'''Jessica''': And what do your friends call you? :'''Chief Ledbetter''': Acting Chief Wylie B. Ledbetter, ma'am. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': ''[Reading a lab report]'' "Exhibit B: the knife Murray was stabbed with. Traces of dried white household enamel embedded in wooden handle grip." :'''Chief Ledbetter''': I figured somebody used it to scrape paint. :'''Jessica''': With a handle? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Trudy''': I just hope that Corrie and Kip and I will never let their fathers get within 50 miles of each other ever again. :'''Jessica''': If only because of their diets. They're both eating as if it's going out of style. :'''Norma''': Don't knock it, Jessica. With their mouths full, they can't talk to each other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Trudy''': So, what we're left with is that one of us is a killer. ''[Sigh]'' And lucky us. We all get to spend another night together. === ''No Accounting for Murder'' [3.19] === :'''Ralph Whitman''': We're very pleased with your progress, both Mr. Carlisle and myself. We feel you've, uh... you've earned this added responsibility. :'''Grady''': Thank you, sir. :'''Ralph''': Forget the sir. It's Ralph. :'''Grady''': Ralph, right. Thank you, Sir Ralph. I mean, just Ralph...sir. Thank you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mrs. Ellis''': I hear your aunt is coming for a visit. That's nice. You show her a good time. You know, aunts are very neglected these days. :'''Grady''': Not this one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mrs. Ellis''': Are you sure? Tax troubles I don't need. :'''Grady''': Believe me, government agents won't be banging down your door with a warrant. :'''Mrs. Ellis''': Ha-ha, that's what [[w:Richard_Nixon|Nixon]] thought. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paul Carlisle''': Oh, Mrs. Fletcher, how delightful to meet you at last! :'''Jessica''': Why, thank you. :'''Paul''': I can see where Grady gets his sharp mind from. I've been a fan of your books for 20 years. :'''Jessica''': Oh...? Yes... Well, thank you very much. :'''Paul''': I always say there's nothing like a good, old-fashioned love story to help you forget your cares. :'''Grady''':Well, actually, sir, she, uh- :'''Jessica''': Oh, I quite agree with you, Mr. Carlisle. I mean, where would we be without [[w:Barbara_Cartland|Barbara Cartland]]? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lester Grinshaw''': I've been trying to interface with you now for several days. :'''Ralph''': Look, it's nearly 6:30. Can't this wait? :'''Lester''': The Internal Revenue Service does not wait, Whitman. We act quickly and decisively... with compassion and understanding, of course. :'''Ralph''': Of course. You know the way, Mr. Grimshaw. :'''Lester''': Excuse me. :'''Ralph''': ''[To Jessica and Grady, with a sigh]'' Well, have a nice dinner. I have a feeling mine's going to be a bowl of cereal at midnight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Grady, the only things that go bump in the night in this city are the taxicabs, believe me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': (Grady) told me that he had reported the crime. :'''Lt. Timothy Hanratty''': That he did. :'''Jessica''': So obviously he didn't kill Mr. Whitman. :'''Lt. Hanratty''': Well, it's unlikely. :'''Jessica''': Unlikely?!! :'''Lt. Hanratty''': Now, now, Mrs. Fletcher. Let's not be giving ourselves a bellyache until after we've tasted the stew. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lester''': Bottom line, Fletcher. You've got 48 hours to come up with the figures. :'''Grady''': Figures? What figures? :'''Lester''': ''[Laughs]'' Don't play dumb with me, pal. It's been tried by experts, believe me, some of whom are doing three-to-five in Leavenworth. :'''Grady''': I don't know what you're talking about. :'''Lester''': Neptune Ventures. Whitman said you're the engine driving that crummy tax dodge. :'''Grady''': Me?! :'''Lester''': Save the dumb look. All I want is one thing. Facts, figures, names, dates, places, the whole megillah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Hanratty''': I took the liberty of pullin' a small file we have on your activities, mum. The young lady murdered by that cosmetic executive, your very own publisher sent away because of your ingenuity. I'm surprised the department hasn't given you a gold badge. :'''Jessica''': Well, it's, uh, just a quirk of mind, really. The way I see things, you know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Sorry, Mrs. Ellis. Mr. Fletcher's going to be a little late. :'''Mrs. Ellis''': So I'll wait. I've had plenty of practice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Hanratty''': Look, son, between you and me and these walls, I also am having a bit of trouble believing you're involved. But the commissioner- :'''Jessica''': Oh, Timothy, hang the commissioner. Since when is an Irishman intimidated by a bureaucrat? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marty''': Lady, I got no time! :'''Jessica'''': Make time, Mr. Giles, or would you rather do it? === ''The Cemetery Vote'' [3.20] === :'''Sheriff Orville Yates''': Folks around here know better than to make threats against the sheriff. :'''Jessica''': Where I come from, folks don't have to make threats. The sheriff upholds the law. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Linda Stevens''': Jim said there's a rumor he won his first election by the cemetery vote. :'''Jessica''': The what? :'''Linda''': Oh, you know, copying names off tombstones to cast extra votes on election day. Yates was a heavy favorite with the R.I.P. crowd. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I feel as though that truck ran over me a few times. :'''Linda''': And I thought soaking in a hot tub would help take away some of the pain from your bruises. You were in the tub for an hour. :'''Jessica''': Well, I soaked for ten minutes. But it took me the rest of the time to get in and out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kate Gunnerson''': Orville's not a big gambler like his deputy. :'''Sheriff Yates''': Yeah, Wayne ain't exactly cautious. :'''Kate''': He's willing to take chances to better himself. That's how you play the game. :'''Sheriff Yates''': What game is that, Kate? :'''Kate''': There's only one game. It has different names. :'''Sheriff Yates''': You talking about politics? :'''Kate''': That's one name. Another is Gettin' Rich. In case you hadn't noticed, I play to win. <hr width="50%"/> :'''David Carroll''': After I got off the phone with you, I wasn't sure I had the time correctly. I mean, nobody meets at city hall at this hour. :'''Jessica''': Forgive me. I'm a writer. We work at all hours. === ''The Days Dwindle Down'' [3.21] === :'''Jessica''': Seth, I know this sounds just terrible, but it's just too nice to work here. And they keep sending up these baskets. I've got more spoiling fruit than a zoo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': You know, Rod, maybe the reason that you couldn't prove that it was suicide was because it wasn't. :'''Rod Wilson''': I thought you believed Pop. :'''Jessica'''': I do. But there may be a third possibility that nobody's considered. Mr. Jarvis could have been murdered by somebody else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Thank you for taking time to see me on such short notice, Ms. Davis. :'''Dorothy Hearn Davis''': I have a confession to make, actually I prefer Mrs. :'''Jessica''': So do I. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Sharp''': Look, ma'am, Lieutenant Webb put this one to bed a long time ago. :'''Jessica''': Excuse me, to bed but not to rest. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dorothy''': You don't know the first thing about my grandfather! How dare you come waltzing in here and make accusations against him like this! Get out! Get out of my office! :'''Jessica''': If you'll forgive me, Mrs. Davis, it appears to me that you suspect your grandfather more than anyone. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rod''': Jessica, you agree with me, don't you? Justice has to be served! :'''Jessica''': ''[Sighs]'' Justice is always imperfect, Rod. Besides, sometimes there's a difference between serving the ideal of justice and doing what's best. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sam Wilson''': I don't know how to thank you. :'''Jessica''': Just be happy. === ''Murder, She Spoke'' [3.22] === :''[At a recording session]'' :'''Al Parker''': Gold! Pure gold, guys! :'''Stoney Carmichael''': Heck, Al, you'd say the [[w:The_Partridge_Family|Partridge Family]] was platinum if it'd get us out of here. Play it back for us. :'''Al''': Stoney, my man, we gotta get that retake in tonight if we're gonna deliver this album on time. :'''Stoney''': Al, my man, I got all the time in the world. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg Dalton''': By the way, I'm also very sorry, Mrs. Fletcher, about this evening session but it's the only time we seem to be able to get this studio. :'''Jessica''': Oh, I think that mystery stories should be read in the dark of the night, don't you? :'''Greg''': ''[Referencing his own blindness]'' You know, it's interesting. It's always the dark of the night to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sally Ann Carmichael''': Stoney, quit treatin' me like a kid! :'''Stoney''': Honey, you are a kid. :'''Sally''': I gotta learn about this business if I'm gonna be a singer. :'''Stoney''': Okay, first rule is, take care of your band. Go get these boys some sodas. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Randy Witworth''': You want out of this contract, all you have to do is say so. :'''Stoney''': Oh, sure, and repay all your expenses plus 50% of any future contract I come up with. :'''Randy''': Nobody held a gun to your head to sign the contract when I found you in that dive in Waco. :'''Stoney''': Well, somebody got me mighty drunk. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nancy Dalton''': Just a note of insincerity. :'''Jessica''': A note? Sounded more like a full-blown symphony to me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Faraday''': I think writing is a real good hobby for a woman. You can cook up some supper. You can chat on the phone. Then pop over to the old typewriter now and then for a few minutes. :'''Jessica''': Yes, when I'm not too busy beating the laundry against the rocks in the river? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Sunny Spain and the black hole of Calcutta are the same to me, Lieutenant. I'm blind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''':Nancy, I am happy. I have a wonderful wife, a good life... until I ended up here. :'''Nancy''': Why do you have to be so damn happy? So nice to Randy in front of me? Didn't you ever just wanna bash his face in?! :'''Greg''': Stop it! Just stop it! How do you know what I feel? You know what it's like to wake up every morning and open these eyes? Of course I hate it! And I hate him! But hating isn't gonna get me anywhere. Isn't that right, Jessica? :'''Jessica''': It's certainly very destructive. :'''Nancy''': But you have to acknowledge it! You have to deal with it! You can't just push it down, or it's gonna well up inside. :'''Greg''': You think I killed him, don't you? :'''Nancy''': I don't know you anymore, Greg. You don't confide in me. You don't let me do things for you. You have cut me off. Now all I am to you is your chauffeur. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Just like that power failure could have been caused by something else. I mean, we don't know that it was the master switch. :'''Lt. Faraday''': Ma'am, I'm getting just a little bit nervous about this "we" business. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lt. Faraday''': Please, ma'am, please. You're smarter than this. Don't act like an irrational- :'''Jessica''': Please, Lieutenant, please. Preserve what respect I have for you, and don't say "irrational woman". :'''Lt. Faraday''': ...irrational outsider. Now, ma'am, I really, really don't wanna see you coming around here anymore unless you're with some man here to arrange bail for Greg Dalton. :'''Jessica''': Lieutenant Faraday, believe it or not, there are women who can arrange bail. And besides that, you're the one behaving irrationally by failing to pursue all the leads in this case. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margaret Witworth''': There's nothing clandestine about coming to see your husband at the office, is there? :'''Jessica''': Oh, of course not. I just can't help but wonder why you felt it was so important to make me believe that you didn't. :'''Lt. Faraday''': You really did help us wrap this whole thing up. :'''Jessica''': Well, thank you, Lieutenant. That's very nice of you. :'''Lt. Faraday''': And you've taught me something. As long as I live, I will never again... :'''Jessica''': Yes, Lieutenant? :'''Lt. Faraday''': ...underestimate the power of women's intuition. == Season 4 == === ''A Fashionable Way to Die'' [4.1] === :'''Valerie Bechet''': Maxim, you suck. i hate you and want to end our relationship. she stabs him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eva Taylor''': How was your flight across the (English) Channel? :'''Jessica''': You know, I am such a diplomat. I switched from tea to Perrier halfway across. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': If that man extorted money from you, there are laws. But there's no law that says that I can't help you out. <hr width="50%"/> :''[When all involved in the fashion show testify to Eva Taylor's presence]'' :'''Inspector Panassic''': What a remarkable woman to have such loyal employees with such acute powers of observation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Inspector Panassic''': I have boiled the ragout down to the simple meat and potatoes you Americans can understand. A maid identifies Eva's coat. Eva's button is found in the victim's room. And Eva's motive is the second oldest one in the book. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peter Appleyard''': Mrs. Fletcher, do you realize what you're suggesting? :'''Jessica''': Not suggesting, Peter. Considering. === ''When Thieves Fall Out'' [4.2] === :'''Andrew Durbin''': It's nice to see things haven't changed much. :'''Jessica''': Oh, then you've been to Cabot Cove before. :'''Andrew''': Years ago. Matter of fact, I stayed a bit longer than I'd planned. :'''Jessica''': Well then, this should be quite a nostalgic vacation for you. Or are you here on business? :'''Andrew''': A little of both. But mostly just to soak up a lot of sunshine and good, clean salt air. :'''Jessica''': ''[Laughs]'' You sound to me like someone with a raging case of cabin fever. :'''Andrew''': Mrs. Fletcher, you are a master of understatement. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Coach Kevin Cauldwell''': I fell head over heels for this woman my first day at the school. But for some unfathomable reason, she wouldn't leave her husband. ''[All laughing]'' Then I met Frank Fletcher, and I gave up the chase. Best friends a man could hope for. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Perry Sillman''': Maybe I'd better go see if Dan's okay. :'''Tara Sillman''': Let Coach handle it. :'''Perry'''': Tara, I- :'''Tara''': Perry, you can't help him. School's out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I'm sorry, but what you did was totally reprehensible. :'''Andrew''': Even though your friend was guilty of murder? :'''Jessica''': That was a matter for the courts. :'''Andrew''': Was it? You mean the same courts that sent me away to prison? That robbed me of 20 precious years? That locked me away in an 8-by-10 cell like an animal for a crime I didn't commit? While Bill Hampton and his confederate were free to enjoy a life I never had and never will have! You have a bizarre definition of justice, Mrs. Fletcher. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andrew''':I came to say good-bye and to thank you. :'''Jessica''': I'd rather you didn't. :'''Andrew''': But I was telling you the truth, and I did spend 20 years in prison unjustly. :'''Jessica''': Yes. And I'm sorry. But you knew when you came here what would happen. :'''Andrew''': I wasn't sure, but I did warn you I was after justice. :'''Jessica''': I can't help but think that justice could have been served in a better way. :'''Andrew''': Oh? Well, you give it some thought, Mrs. Fletcher. And when you figure out what could have been, you let me know. === ''Witness for the Defense'' [4.3] === :'''Jim Harlan''': My wife's lovely ex-roommate suddenly appears out of the blue and then steals away before I've had a chance to pump her about old college romances. :'''Patricia Harlan''': He'd probably change the names and put 'em in his book. :'''Jessica''': Well, I'm afraid writers are accused of that, you know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Attorney Oliver Quayle''': What an excellent witness you're going to make. "Mrs. Fletcher, national reputation, no notoriety, Cabot Cove, Maine." The jury is going to love that rustic... Do you have a hat? An old straw with some violets? :'''Jessica'''': I've never owned a hat like that in my life. :'''Attorney Quayle''': Well, never mind. Barnaby will get you one. And an umbrella! Yes, an umbrella will be a nice touch. :'''Jessica''': Mr. Quayle, I'm sorry, but I am not going to play a countrified character for you or for anyone else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Attorney Quayle''': A few simple questions to clarify the excellent presentation so competently elicited by Mrs. Pirage. Or is it Miss? :'''Annette Pirage''': Miss. :'''Attorney Quayle''': Thank you, Miss Pirage. I'm a man who likes to be precise about small things, and I would hate to get off to a bad start by giving you a husband if you don't have one. :'''Annette''': When I decide I want one, I'll remember your generous offer, Mr. Quayle. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': It's just a matter of common sense. I mean, it must have taken quite some time for the escaping gas from the basement to have reached the open flame in the kitchen. If Patricia were alive or conscious, she would have smelled the gas, don't you think? :'''Attorney Quayle''': The Crown must prove that she didn't die in that fire. :'''Jessica''': It's not a matter of proof. It's a matter of logic. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Annette''': It's like being mugged. :'''Jessica''': Is that kind of character assassination legal? :'''Annette''': Not very, but it's what Oliver Quayle does best. :'''Jessica''': I'm no expert, but I thought I noticed you landing one or two low blows yourself. :'''Annette''': When a girl steps into the alley to duke it out with the great Oliver Quayle, she better have a set of brass knuckles in her glove. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barnaby Friar''': Sometimes, when things aren't going well, (Quayle) forgets his manners. :'''Jessica''': When the jury brings in a verdict, you'd better have a muzzle handy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': How many ex-wives does Mr. Quayle have? :'''Secretary''': Three. ''[Smiles]'' All originally his secretaries. === ''Old Habits Die Hard'' [4.4] === :'''Reverend Mother Claire''': Don't patronize me, Jess. We are growing the scrawniest tomatoes east of the Mississippi. :'''Jessica''': ''[Laughs]'' Well, let's just say they're a little underdeveloped. :'''Rev. M. Claire''': ''[Laughs]'' I've tried everything. Fertilizer, prayer. I even considered doing a rain dance, but I was afraid the bishop might catch me at it. :'''Jessica''': Claire, I hate to remind you, but your thumb is anything but green. Do you remember that little flower patch that we started behind the Kappa Delta house? :'''Rev. M. Claire''': Do I remember! While you were knee-deep in marigolds, my zinnias just quit before they even started to bud. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': You know, the last time I saw Nellie, she was trying to organize a rafting excursion down the Snake River in Idaho. :'''Rev. M. Claire''': ''[Laughing]'' Oh, dear Nellie. She couldn't open a can of peas without cutting a finger. I hope she survived. :'''Jessica''': Oh, yes. She even sent me photos from her hospital bed. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I hope I didn't make her feel uncomfortable. :'''Rev. M. Claire''': You? The girl who managed to charm Dean Franklin out of a three-day suspension? :'''Jessica''': You could have to if you had only stopped climbing that flagpole when he told you to. :'''Rev. M. Claire''': What, and lose the bet? <hr width="50%"/> :''[After discussing Sister Emily's death]'' :'''Rev. M. Claire''': Ridiculous or not, it's obvious we'll have to postpone today's dedication. :'''Bishop Patrick Shea''': Mother Superior, one moment. The parish has been rocked to the core by all of this with tremors reaching up to the cardinal himself, who agrees that the sooner we put this behind us, the better it'll be for everyone. :'''Rev. M. Claire''': Surely you can't mean- :'''Bishop Shea''': Case closed. [[w:Eternal_Rest|Requiem aeternum pacem]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bishop Shea''': Mrs. Fletcher, with all due respect to that writer's imagination of yours, you are forgetting one fact. The convent was locked from dinner until the police arrived, which was after Sister Emily died. Now, how could Mike Phelps, Nancy Bates, or anybody else for that matter have broken in without leaving a trace? :'''Jessica''': I admit I can't answer that. :'''Bishop Shea''': No, I didn't think you could. :'''Jessica''': Yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I knew that there had to be another way into the convent. But what puzzled me was that none of the other sisters seem to know anything about it. :'''Nancy Bates''': Easy. It was sealed right after the Civil War. Only a couple of wards found out about it in the '60s and they had it reopened without the sisters ever finding out. It's kinda been our little secret since. You know, a kind of matter of honor among the wards. :'''Jessica''': Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's become a matter of murder. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': I must be overlooking something. :'''Rev. M. Claire''': I'm afraid there's not much here to overlook. We lead a pretty austere life here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bishop Shea''': ''[Mentioning Reverend Mother Claire]'' Try to impress on your dear old friend here the obligation of obedience. She is a troublemaker, you know. :'''Jessica''': Bishop, I'm afraid that is your problem, and a delightful one you're going to have to deal with for a long, long time. === ''The Way to Dusty Death'' [4.5] === :'''Duncan Barnett''': I love nothing better than a good argument. Except winning. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lydia Barnett'''; Mr. Osborne, we've been expecting you. And Miss, uh... :'''Serena''': Serena. Just Serena.

My husband Frank sold real estate and the only person he ever tried to butter up was my mother. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia McCormack''': Who the hell does he think he is?! :'''Morgan McCormack''': He's the guy that runs the game, Ginny. :'''Virgina''': My God. You act like you don't even care that that dinosaur refuses to become extinct! :'''Morgan''': Even the dinosaurs died, Ginny. Time's on our side. The law of nature. :'''Virginia''': Maybe we should give nature a little push. :'''Morgan''': Let's go to bed, Ginny. :'''Virginia''': Morgan. We're talking about your future! Our future. With him in control, how are you going to get to the top? He's only going to keep on playing you like a little lapdog. :'''Morgan''': There are other companies. I mean, you just don't- :'''Virginia''': Starting over? Morgan, is that what you want? Besides, everybody thought he was gonna die last year anyway. He's living on borrowed time as it is. :'''Morgan''': There's a house full of people, Ginny. :'''Virginia''': Exactly. A house full of suspects. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tom Dutton''': Believe me, Mrs. Fletcher. I only want what's best for this company. :'''Jessica''': That seems to be what everybody says that they want. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Virginia''': Jessica?

Well, I can't explain it, actually. His blood pressure's normal, his heartbeat regular, his eyes clear- :'''Emma''': Oh, thank the Lord! :'''Dr. Blandings''': Well, that's one explanation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Emma''': Oh, my old dad would rap me over the knuckles properly, would he.

You're gonna tell me there's no suicide note. But you know as well as I do, they don't always leave notes. :'''Jessica''': I know, but what really bothers me is that women don't usually shoot themselves, Amos. I mean, they're more likely to take pills, which were certainly at Audrey's disposal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Look, it wasn't your fault that by the time we got back, the squid was a little rubbery. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': A little rubbery? We could have turned them into snow tires. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Doesn't it seem a little strange to you that Eve also called in about her cat on Tuesday, last Tuesday and... :'''Sheriff Tupper''': ...the Tuesday before that. :'''Jessica''': You know, Phyllis Grant said something about Eve Simpson suddenly wanting two airline tickets yesterday, instead of one. :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Makes you kinda wonder if it was the cat Jonathan was attending to or the canary. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Where's my New Hampshire Weekly? I didn't get it this week. :'''George Tibbits''': Should have come in yesterday. :'''Dr. Hazlitt''': Well, yes, it should have come in yesterday, George, but it didn't. :'''George''': Never got mine either, come to think of it. Maybe they just never got on the truck. Well, no news from New Hampshire that can't wait.

You keep the old vegetable alive for another six months just to watch him twitch?

That's rarely the basis of a sound business arrangement. === ''Murder Through the Looking Glass'' [4.16] === :'''Sgt. Cooper''': So, Mrs. Fletcher, sorry. Seems like you were right. Mr. Cosgrove has turned up on a cold slab in the morgue. :'''Jessica''': He's also in a warm bed in Farmington. I met him right after he'd been shot in the head and the heart and dumped into the Connecticut River and he seemed to have taken it very well. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Father Patrick Francis''': I'm being perfectly honest with you. And since you penetrated my cover, you're going to have to trust me. :'''Jessica''': Why? :'''Father Francis''':Well, now, that's a good question. How about because I work for the government? :'''Jessica''': Do you trust everyone who works for the government? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Father Francis''': Okay, when this is over, you remind me and whatever you don't like, I'll just pluck out of the file and it will be as if it never happened. Jessica, I want you to find out what's going on in that safe house, and I want you to share it with me. :'''Jessica''': In other words, you want me to spy on others so that you can fill ''their'' files? My answer to that is, no, thank you. === ''A Very Good Year for Murder'' [4.17] === :'''Jessica''': Seventy-five is a milestone. It's not the end of the road. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben Skyler''': But my real ambition is to write a novel.

But they smell so wonderful. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Stella told me that Salvatore has been under great pressure from an eastern conglomerate to sell. Kansatronics... something like that. :'''Chief Kyle''': Well, now you're telling me that a Fortune 500 is hiring mob muscle to negotiate their contracts? :'''Jessica''': Maybe this company isn't even in the Fortune 5,000. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Salvatore Gambini''': Everybody dies. It's what you do before you die that's important. === ''Benedict Arnold Slipped Here'' [4.18] === :'''Jessica''': Poor Tillie.

How big? About the size of a white elephant? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': How does it look? :'''Eve Simpson''': Ah, where to start? The building is ancient and dilapidated, the plumbing needs to be ripped out and replaced, the wiring is a joke, the roof is shot, the building has dry rot and will never pass a termite inspection, the septic tank is inadequate, the trees are dying, the fence is falling down, the backyard is a dump. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eve''': The word is the new owner's in town. :'''Jessica''': I can see that the beauty parlor for communication system is working in good order. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Benny''': I wouldn't let you handle this stuff if you were the last antique dealer in the world. :'''Wilton''': There's more than one way to skin a cat. :'''Benny''': You know, I've heard that all my life, and I still don't know what it means. :'''Wilton''': Be careful. You might find out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eve''': Mr. Andrews is thinking of buying this house. :'''Alastair Andrews''': If so, I shall have the house dismantled and shipped back to England. :'''Sheriff Tupper''': England?

He said that you haven't furnished him with any identification. :'''Liza Adams''': Well, like, I burned my birth certificate and my passport in 1970 when I declared myself a citizen of the universe. :'''Jessica''': Do you have a driver's license? :'''Liza''': I burned that in 1972. It was an anti-pollution rally. :'''Jessica''': Any credit cards? :'''Liza''': Ha! You gotta be kidding. Oh, so I got no I.D. Does that make me a non-person? :'''Jessica''': No, it doesn't. But it may make it difficult for you to establish a legal claim to your legacy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eve''': I would get down on my knees and beg, but this is my last good pair of panty hose! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mr. Andrews is in the den, getting the feel of 1780. :'''Sheriff Tupper''': Doesn't he know his side lost the war? === ''Just Another Fish Story'' [4.19] === :'''Harry Finlay''': The more you abuse the nouveau riche, the better they tip. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry''': Mimi, I want you to meet a real writer.

Oh, I've always thought that must be the hardest job. :'''Mimi''': Well, I'm afraid I haven't read you either, Jennifer. But, of course, my readers aren't into fiction, they're more into making their own scene. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grady''': ''(Asking Jessica her impression of his fiancée)'' She's, uh- She's pretty okay, isn't she? :'''Jessica''': Mm-hmm.

We own a restaurant, Lieutenant, not Rockefeller Center. :'''Lt. Rupp''': My youngest wants to leave the house and go out on her own. I told her I got other plans for my pension. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mimi''': Look, this gig is about as permanent as origami tofu. They have gone through six journalists here in the last two years. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Donna, people who love each other want to help each other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grady''': I already met your father, and he fired me. :'''Donna''':Oh, that's okay.

You're a rare species, Mr. Purdue. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Tenacity is an admirable virtue. :'''Carla Talbot''': Until it turns into thick-headed stubbornness. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Now, if you have any doubts about your future with Marty Reed, I suggest that you talk to him about it. Don't be afraid to ask him the hard question. If he doesn't give you the good answer, well, that's your answer. Remember one thing: You're the one who's gonna make up your mind about all this.

Only time and astute critical judgment will tell if Mainely Murder, which opens here tomorrow night, will honor the gods or yet again, profane them. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mr. Easterbrook, I am here to attend the opening night and to bask in Walter's success. :'''Eliot''': Bask? Is that a prediction, Mrs. Fletcher, or just hype? :'''Jessica''': Isn't it true that the only thing you can predict about the theater is that it is unpredictable? :'''Eliot''': Oh, bravo, Mrs. Fletcher. You must have stayed up all night thinking that one up. :'''Jessica''': No, actually. [[w:Molière|Molière]] did it for me about 200 years ago. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shayne Grant''': Curtain going up, darling! :'''Eliot''': I hope you don't think by inviting me to your postprandial party, you'll color my reaction to your little play. :'''Shayne''': Of course not, darling, but missing the first scene might. :'''Barney Mapost''': ''[After he leaves the lobby]'' Finally I get it!

It's too good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Mr. Easterbrook, doesn't it get tiring, being the voice of disdain? :'''Eliot''': I never tire of putting people in their place. :'''Jessica''': I can't help but wonder what interests are served when critics make destructive remarks simply to be, well, amusing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Walter Knapf''': Look, it isn't the way it seems. :'''Jessica''': Well, maybe you can tell us the way it was. === ''The Body Politic'' [4.22] === :'''Kathleen Lane''': Mr. Hall, I don't want to talk about rumors. It demeans both our professions. :'''Edmund Hall''': But five years ago, when you were mayor of your home town, stories persisted that you had an affair with a married man. :'''Kathleen''': Forgive me, Mr. Hall. What should be put to bed in this campaign is gossip, not me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kathleen''': The fact is, if it isn't a presidential election, the public interest is on a par with Saturday night wrestling. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bud Johnson''': ''(Reviewing one of Kathleen's upcoming speeches)'' It's good. Though you might want to soft pedAl this reference to day care for working mothers. :'''Jessica''': But in a speech Kathleen gave last week, she came out for day care. :'''Bud''': Yeah, well, that was at a day care center. The speech you're working on is for a couple hundred ladies at a country club, and they already have day care. They call her the maid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Have you considered that somebody else may have killed Mr. Johnson and framed Mrs. Lane for the express purpose of destroying her candidacy? :'''Lt.

They want to see [[w:Dallas_(1978_TV_series)|Dallas]], [[w:Knots_Landing|Knots Landing]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kathleen''': I've learned the hard way that a candidate is worth two angles to the media. When I was 20 points behind in the polls, they tried to build me up with those heart-rending stories about the gutsy underdog. :'''Jessica''': But after molding you into David versus Goliath, they wanted a new angle for the morning edition. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kathleen''': If a candidate's character becomes the issue of the campaign, and the bedroom becomes the ballot box, then the candidate can no longer speak on the vital ideas and programs that should be addressed. == Season 5 == === ''J.B. as in Jailbird'' [5.1] === :'''Lancaster''': In two day's time, Leonard Matoso arrives here from Africa to give a speech at Berkeley. :'''Randy Travis''': Oh, yes.

And I'm sure I have you to thank for it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Veronica''': Gee, honey, I had you figured for shoplifting or maybe kiting checks. But murder? Jessica, I knew you had class. === ''A Little Night Work'' [5.2] === :'''Axel Weingard''': The thieves here tonight are into stealing elections, not diamonds. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Miles Hatcher''': It's quite a soirée Mrs. Darrow is hosting here. :'''Dennis Stanton''': Yes. Yes. All the candidates lined up to kiss the lady's ring. Should be quite an evening. :'''Miles''': I didn't realize you were into politics, Dennis. :'''Dennis''': I'm not, Mr. Hatcher. I'm into parties. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dennis''': Tell me, do you think the words of a truly good writer reflect her innermost fantasies? :'''Jessica''': You mean, do I ever feel overwhelmed by an urge to dispatch my enemies with the nearest available weapon? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I abhor violence. :'''Dennis''': Oh, me too. So messy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''NYPD Lt. Bert Alffano''': Look, lady, it's not much of a career, but it's the only one I got, and the last cop who bumped heads against City Hall is patrolling junkyards in Astoria. :'''Jessica''': And if it comes out that you are protecting a killer, where do you think you will end up? :'''Lt. Alffano''': You don't give a guy much room, do you? === ''Mr. Penroy's Vacation'' [5.3] === :''(Covering for Penroy's death)'' :'''Helen Appletree''': We thought of calling off the (birthday) party, but he said he wanted everybody to come and enjoy themselves, didn't he, Lillian? :'''Lilian Appletree''': Yes. Those were his last words. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jessica''': Sheriff, perhaps the ladies might give a little more information if you were a little more gentle. :'''Sheriff Mort Metzger''': Oh...You mean, less iron fist and more velvet glove. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Metzger''': One thing you learn on the streets of New York: You can't judge by appearances. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Metzger''': I've had years of experience dealing with slimeballs like them. Faced with a murder-one rap, they'll cough up the location of that money like a baby with the colic. <hr width="50%"/> :''(When they discover the money stash)'' :'''Helen''': They're all so new. They're brand new! :'''Lilian''': Oh, that's all right. We'll run it through the washing machine like the gangsters do on television. === ''Snow White, Blood Red'' [5.4] === :'''Jessica''': ''(Talking about a crossbow)'' Oh, my! That is a nasty-looking item. I never noticed it before. :'''Anne Lowery''': We use it on beginners who clog up the expert course. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Anne''': How could you humiliate me like that? :'''Mike Lowery''': That's very funny, darling. I've been meaning to ask you the same question for a week! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pamela Leeds''': The business world can be very treacherous, like a downhill course laced with rocks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ed McMasters''': Well, you're welcome to join us, if you don't mind eating with a cop. :'''Jessica''': Oh, not at all! They're some of my favorite people. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Lewis''': This is absurd, Mrs. Fletcher!

So I sat on my phone, and accidentally... :'''Rigby''': He called you with his butt! :'''Mordecai''': Yeah. So I accidentally left you a voicemail with me singing this dumb song.

He's not good enough at video games to win. :'''Skips''': Mordecai, I know you wanna make Rigby happy by winning that Glove, but are you sure you're going about this the right way? :'''Mordecai''': Don't worry about it.

Benson kicks M&R out of the golf cart and onto the ground) Benson: You still need to clean Skips' garage. There's a bunch of Pops' weird stuff in there that needs to go into storage. When you're done, you can have burgers, deal? Rigby: Really? (Mordecai opens the garage door. The garage is piled to the ceiling with clutter) Benson: Yep, have fun you two. (laughs and drives away) Mordecai: I don't believe this. (clock transition to sometime later. M&R are almost done with the boxes. Mordecai pants hard, and Rigby throws a box into the pile) Dude, what are you doing? Do you want an Ulti-Meatum or not? (grabs sheet) Come on, help me move this. (M&R remove the curtain to see a machine called a "Hologram 9000". Dramatic music plays as it is shown) Mordecai and Rigby: Whoa! Mordecai: What is this thing? Rigby: It's says, "Hologram 9000". Mordecai: Cool. Rigby: Dude, holograms! What if we use it to make holograms of ourselves and put them in here so that Benson thinks we're working? Mordecai: What? Why would we do that? We're almost done. Plus, it says it can kill you. (sure enough, there is a sticker on the machine that shows so. Off in the distance, Ajay makes an announcement over the megaphone) Ajay: Last call for burgers. I repeat, last call for burgers. Mordecai: Dude, you're going first. (Rigby pushes the red button on the machine, and the door slides open. He enters as the door closes. Mordecai sets the switch to "extremely realistic", then, red lasers scan Rigby. Rigby: Eeeeyaaghhyrrerrohdough! (Rigby screams in pain before the lasers move off) Mordecai: Come on, dude, you gotta stay still. It's not gonna work if you move. Rigby: But it hurts! Mordecai: Yeah, well, you know what else is gonna hurt? Not getting that burger. (Rigby stands up) Come on, best burger in the world. Rigby: Best burger in the world. Best burger in the world. Anyone who doesn't eat one... (crosses arms across chest then hold them up like Ajay) ...is a chump! (the lasers scan him) NYAAAAAH! (Rigby's graphic on the machine turns into a wireframe. Seconds later, Rigby's hologram comes out) Mordecai: Dude, it looks exactly like you. (seconds later, Mordecai is in the machine.) Mordecai: RRRNNGHH!!! (Mordecai grunts as the hologram of him is created. Mordecai kicks a box as he and Rigby place it next to the Rigby hologram, now holding a box, and place a box under the Mordecai hologram) Nice. Let's go hide over there and see if it works on Benson. (M&R run into a bush as Benson drives up) Here he comes. (Benson brakes) Benson: Boy, somebody must not want burgers for lunch. (drives off) Rigby: Dude, he bought it. Mordecai: Yeah, but we gotta hurry. Those things aren't gonna hold them off forever. (M&R runs to the Grill 'em Up truck) Mordecai and Rigby: Two Ulti-Meatums! Ajay: Is that it? Mordecai and Rigby: Yes! Ajay: Can I get your names? Rigby: Mordecai and Rigby! (back at Skips' house, Benson drives up again and looks at the Holograms) Benson: Why are you guys just standing around? Get back to work! (drives off. Cut to the truck. Ajay places a patty onto the grill and fries one side of it as M&R watch. Back at Skips' house, Benson drives up for a third time) You didn't answer my question. Why are you just standing around? (steps out. At the truck, the small cheeseburger is already placed on the giant patty. It is flipped over as M&R drool in hunger. At Skips' house, Benson walks up to the holograms) What did I tell you about answering me when I speak to you? (pause) Why are you just looking at me like that? (looks at Rigby hologram) Rigby, you put that box down now. (runs up to grab the box off the hologram, but knocks it over onto the ground) What the? (taps Mordecai hologram, which falls over. Benson realizes what's going on, panting and turns red) Mordecai and Rigby think they can just skip out on work to go eat burgers? Well, they've got another thing coming. (drives off. Right then, the holograms come to life and look at each other. The two burgers are then dipped in grease, and Ajay adds the Himalayan ketchup, then Mordecai and Rigby turn around in horror as they see Benson driving up in the cart) (slow-mo) GGGRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH! Mordecai: (slow-mo) Oh, no! (turns to Ajay) Hurry! (Ajay wraps the two Ulti-Meatums in white bags then rings a bell) Ajay: You guys are lucky. You just got the last two Ulti-Meatums for the next 100 years. (Mordecai and Rigby grab the burgers, but then the holograms slap them away and grab them) Rigby: Aw, what? Mordecai: Give us back our burgers! Hologram-Mordecai: No way. These are the best burgers in the world. Hologram-Rigby: Yeah, get lost so we can eat 'em...(crosses arms across chest then holds them up like Ajay)...you chumps. (begins to take a bite) Rigby: NOOOOOOOO!!! Benson: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (They begin to fight Hologram-Mordecai and Hologram-Rigby.) Nobody's going to eat anything until you finish cleaning the- (They fight but Hologram-Mordecai and Hologram-Rigby just spins through them) Ajay and the chef: Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight.(They continue through out the fight.) Hologram-Rigby: I'm gonna enjoy this. Rigby: (Slow motion voice) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! (Slowly looks at a nearby rock, and The Flower Duet by Lakme start) (Mordecai and Rigby start throwing rocks at Hologram-Rigby and Hologram Mordecai) (Rigby picks up the thing keeping the truck in place, causing the truck to roll away, and throws it at Hologram Rigby, destroying him in the process) Hologram Rigby: (slow motion voice) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! (gets destroyed) Hologram Mordecai: (slow motion voice) NOOOOO!! WE JUST WANTED A BURGER! (Mordecai does the same as Rigby) AHHHHHHHH! (Mordecai and Rigby cross their arms and high-five each other.) Mordecai and Rigby: Yeah! Rigby: (excited) Dude, I'm so hungry. Mordecai: Me too. I can't wait to-- (Unfortunately, Benson ate the two burgers) Benson: You know, you guys were right all along. These burgers are outstanding. (Eats the rest of the last burger) Oh, wait, you guys didn't get to have one. That's too bad, apparently they only make these once every 100 years. Which is about how long it will take you to finish cleaning out Skips' garage. (Drives away) Mordecai: Dude, he's gone, let's see if we can get them to make two more of those burgers. (They turn around and see that the truck is gone) Rigby: Uh, where'd the truck go? (The truck is seen rolling towards the crash pit) Ajay and the chef: Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.... ===''Replaced'' [3.11b]=== :'''Benson''': '''ALRIGHT!'''

You never tried it. :'''Eileen''': I ''did'' try it. When I was little, I went snow tubing with my dad. ''[Flashback to her and her dad]'' We tried to hit a jump... but the inertia worked against us.

J. Abrams]] and [[w:Matt Reeves|Matt Reeves]], airing on [[w:The WB|The WB]], about the experiences of a naive girl, who moves across the country to New York to attend college and pursue her high school crush. The show followed Felicity and her new friends as they made the transition to adulthood and dealt with an endless slew of crises. == Season 1 == === ''Pilot'' [1.01] === :'''Felicity''': They say crash victims --people who lose a limb--that they can still feel their missing arm or leg, even after it's gone. It's called phantom pain, right? Well, suddenly, I had this horrible thought. What if high school went away but the feeling of it didn't? I mean I didn't feel joy... or sorrow... or anticipation. Things were going so well, but all I could feel was.... was dread. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': OK, OK, OK. Here's--here's my speech. This is the big speech from Noel. Uh... you mustn't leave this school. Why? Here's why. Because this is--this is a life struggle. This is fate, this is a challenge. I-if you turn away from this now, you will -- and I promise you this -- be confronted by the same issue five years from now. Or ten. All right? You'll be--you'll be the fancy doctor with--with the fancy practice. You'll--you'll be married... and you'll have like four phone lines in your home. And then, boom, it'll--it'll grip you like a blast of freezing cold air. You know, "what--what the hell is my life?" And you'll be able to trace it back to this instant. This--this very moment, when that geek R.A. gave you these four words of advice, "stay in New York, or perish". Five... six words. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sally''': I guess, I'm learning little by little that we decide what our lives are gonna be. Things happen to us. But it's our reactions that matter. I just want you to know, I think you've made a really great choice. And I can't wait to hear what happens. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': It's funny. Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can pretty much change your life forever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Is it possible to be just friends with someone I have these sort of immoderate feelings for? === ''The Last Stand'' [1.02] === :'''Noel''': So you have no intention of buying knives? :'''Lewis''': ''[hesitates as he shiftily moves his eyes]'' No. :'''Noel''': Or killing your roommate? :'''Lewis''': ''[pauses longer with more shifty eye movement]'' No. :'''Noel''': I gotta be honest here, Lewis. I wish you were more convincing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julie''': ''[about her adoptive parents]'' What they don't know. What I haven't told anyone... that I found out my birth mom's name last year and she lives in New York. :'''Felicity''': Is... I mean that's not why you came here. :'''Julie''': They'd be really hurt if they found out. :'''Felicity''': I won't say anything. :'''Julie''': I know. :'''Felicity''': God, I feel all grown up. :'''Julie''': Me too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Years from now, Ben will look back on college and remember Felicity Porter: as that obsessive girl with frizzy hair who not only followed him across country, but then just began randomly sending him information about herself, as if he'd ever asked for any. :'''Noel''': Well, if you can live with that, then you're okay. === ''Hot Objects'' [1.03] === :'''Elena''': ''[about the freshman mixer]'' I hate these things. A room full of junior high insecurities. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben''': Did you get what you wanted? :'''Felicity''': Inorganic chemistry. :'''Ben''': You got that and you're happy? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julie''': Last year, at the same party, three people showed up naked. :'''Felicity''': Whoa... I'm going to be wearing clothes to this party. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': Okay, does everybody like Ben? And I'm not asking that rhetorically. === ''Boggled'' [1.04] === :'''Meghan''': I replaced your stupid apple. :'''Felicity''': With a tub of ''I Can't Believe It's Not Butter''? :'''Meghan''': It tastes ''so much'' like butter. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elena''': Have you seen Felicity? :'''Meghan''': She's probably in Noel's room, getting some. :'''Elena''': Getting some what? :'''Meghan''': A little R.A. ass, or whatever. :'''Elena''': What? :'''Meghan''': She's doing the R.A. :'''Elena''': Felicity? :'''Meghan''': I know. I didn't think she had it in her either. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': You think I'm dating Noel to get an appliance? :'''Elena''': I think you're dating Noel ''and'' getting an appliance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Who told you that? :'''Elena''': ''[about Meghan]'' That Halloween costume you live with. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': Man, I had you pegged for this uptight, no-fun, like, follow-the-rules, kiss-ass bore. :'''Felicity''': Well, that's actually much closer to my personality. === ''Spooked'' [1.05] === :'''Noel''': The Tin Man's in your room? :'''Elena''': Will you shut up?! :'''Noel''': Sure. :'''Elena''': We just hung out and listened to music. :'''Noel''': Fine. Whatever. Just be careful… I heard he doesn't have a heart. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sally''': I guess we all have our own war stories, but they're meant to be shared, they have to be, because these stories, they're what bring us together, and... they keep us alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben''': Not everybody's like you, all right? Crazy-sensitive and always judging everybody. :'''Felicity''': I don't always judge everybody... I always judge you. === ''Cheating'' [1.06] === :'''Sally''': If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': I'm a big believer in the fact that the truth comes out whether you tell them or not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julie''': He touched your teeth, it means something. :'''Felicity''': My teeth don't mean anything. :'''Julie''': Don't you think he touched her teeth? :'''Felicity''': It was like a...flick. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elena''': I need your advice about men. :'''Felicity''': You need ''my'' advice about men? === ''Drawing the Line (1)'' [1.07] === :'''Elena''': Noel, you're giving me a speech. :'''Noel''': It's a speech moment, you know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': You know what?! :'''Noel''': What? :'''Felicity''': Maybe I AM a lovesick schoolgirl. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': I'm not going to be your girlfriend. :'''Felicity''': Were you ever going to be my girlfriend? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': Why does anyone have a web page? Too much free time. Not enough friends. Justifying owning a computer. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julie''': So what's going on? Are you and Ben...? :'''Felicity''': Screwing? No. Talking? No. === ''Drawing the Line (2)'' [1.08] === :'''Sally''': Dear Felicity, it's amazing how we blame ourselves. You know when John died, I was a wreck. Certain, that somehow, cosmically, I'd caused that accident. It's probably just human nature to try to make sense of things. Random things. I think the scariest part is realizing that sometimes bad things just happen. No reason, no purpose. They just occur and we're left to pick up the pieces. I guess that's what we're all doing all the time, just picking up the pieces the best we can. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben''': ''[to Zach]'' See, the difference is, when you said, 'Stop,' I did. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': You're not growing a goatee, are you? :'''Noel''': Not with ''that'' tone in your voice. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Story''': How much did that stuff taste like butter? :'''Meghan''': I Can't Believe It's Not Butter? ''So'' much. === ''Thanksgiving'' [1.09] === :'''Sally''': Dear Felicity, I planned on spending Thanksgiving by myself this year. I thought it would be too hard to try and celebrate the holiday with new friends in this new place, but then Emmitt and a bunch of friends from work showed up at my place with all this food. It's incredible really, one minute your standing in this new city with nothing but your suitcase and then you look around and suddenly, you realize you're surrounded by family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Julie, I'm gonna go wash these. :'''Julie''': Okay. Try the men's room, it's got a bigger sink. Don't ask me how I know that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Can you guys excuse me for a minute? :'''Julie''': Where are you going? :'''Felicity''': Hyperventilate. I'll be right back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Can I just say one thing? :'''Noel''': You never say ''one'' thing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Javier''': I said, "Ma, if Nono's gonna be there for Thanksgiving, count me out." :'''Felicity''': Good for you! What did she say? :'''Javier''': There's a little space out back by the garage. She's gonna leave him out there. :'''Felicity''': Wait, so, ah... Nono's a dog? :'''Javier''': No. === ''Finally'' [1.10] === :'''Noel''': What the hell is this? :'''Richard''': Oh hey man. Wanna burger? :'''Noel''': Did it ever cross your mind Richard, that it might be against building code to have a cook out in your dorm room!? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': What's your problem? :'''Noel''': Wow, well, uh, I don't know where to begin... :'''Meghan''': Hey, if you're actually gonna answer that question, could you not? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': You're gonna get real hyper, 'cause that powder's concentrated, like, 200 percent. :'''Noel''': Stop talking so slowly! :'''Meghan''': Wow! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': Have you seen Felicity? :'''Elena''': Why don't you two put lo-jacks on each other? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': It's sad. He's got necrophilia. :'''Felicity''': He sleeps with dead people? :'''Noel''': No, I mean narcolepsy. === ''Gimme an O!'' [1.11] === :'''Felicity''': ''[to Noel]'' You and I should have sex. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': ''[marking Day Planner]'' Noel... Sex. Is eight o'clock okay? :'''Noel''': For sex? Eight o'clock... eight's good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': I have a pretty good reason to believe that Felicity's moved past Ben. === ''Friends'' [1.12] === :'''Noel''': Don't be jealous. :'''Felicity''': I'm sure I'm supposed to be, but it's just too sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Censa''': You could make a lot of money selling your hair. I know people. :'''Felicity''': I'll keep that in mind. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': ''[at vending machine]'' I never pictured you as a 'Payday' kind of guy. :'''Ben''': You, you picture me? :'''Noel''': What! No! Uh, I just, I needed something to say, and that's unfortunately what came together. === ''Todd Mulcahy (1)'' [1.13] === :'''Blair''': Tara and I never slept together. :'''Elena''': Well, you should. That way I know that you're sleeping with a bitch and she's left unsatisfied. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben''': Felicity's got a stalker. :'''Sean''': 'Got' or 'is'? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': He came all the way to New York, convinced that I'm, like, his soulmate or something. :'''Ben''': Imagine that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': I'm sort of in the same situation. :'''Ben''': You're stalking somebody else? Who? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': ''[after piercing her nose]'' It's in. I can't even feel it. That's the first time I've said ''that''. === ''Todd Mulcahy (2)'' [1.14] === :'''Richard''': ''[about Felicity and Noel]'' You guys aren't breaking up are you? 'Cause that would really screw up my life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': Hey, have you seen Felicity? :'''Meghan''': I cannot wait for the day you stop asking me that question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Todd''': Felicity, you know, I think that kiss was pretty damn good. :'''Felicity''': Okay, you need to go home. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julie''': I don't like hospitals. You know why? :'''Noel''': Every really obvious reason? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Javier''': In my family, brutal honesty is the most valuable commodity. That, and rugalah. === ''Love and Marriage'' [1.15] === :'''Meghan''': Are you buying her a car? :'''Felicity''': Meghan! :'''Meghan''': What?! A friend of mine married a guy from Togo, he bought her a Montero! :'''Felicity''': Well, he's not buying me a car. :'''Javier''': Do you want a bicycle? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': Actually, I haven't been that supportive. :'''Javier''': Oh. Well, then, no muffins for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': You don't seem exactly… straight. :'''Javier''': ''[gasping]'' Really? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': ''[to Felicity]'' Man! Every time I think I got you pegged, you just do something completely bitchin'! === ''The Fugue'' [1.16] === :'''Felicity''': Uh, excuse me, Abby? :'''Abby''': Yes, Felicity? :'''Felicity''': You probably know this, I'm sure you do, but our old manager, Javier, actually did employee evaluations on all of us. :'''Abby''': You're right. I do know that. But remarks like, "a real cutie patootie," and "when he makes a mochachino I get all tingly," were hard to quantify. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben''': ''[to Felicity]'' Noel would never choose to be with somebody else when he could be with you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julie''': What are you doing? :'''Felicity''': Spying. Blatantly spying. === ''Assassins'' [1.17] === :'''Elena''': Don't you dare let some mix tape make you go soft on Noel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': ''[to Felicity]'' I thought getting some would have loosened you up a little; but, damn, you're worse than ever. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': ''[to Felicity]'' You snooze, you lose. Hey, that's what you should have told Noel when he threw a hissy fit about you banging the art student. === ''Happy Birthday'' [1.18] === :'''Mrs. Rotundi''': Do you like art? :'''Meghan''': Felicity likes ''artists'', Mommy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': We're just talking about this. ''[Holds up box]'' :'''Mrs. Rotundi''': Oh. What's that? :'''Felicity''': Oh, it's just my secret box. No one is ever allowed to look inside of it, including Meghan. I drive her crazy with it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': ''[to Meghan]'' And you know what the funny thing is? You probably wouldn't even care less what's inside the stupid box if I didn't keep taunting you with it, you know? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Elena''': ''[to Noel]'' I didn't say every guy was a jerk. I said ''you'' were a jerk. === ''Docuventary'' [1.19] === :'''Sean''': Noel, you guys mean more to each other than you think. Go talk to her! You know, really try and make this better! Fight for that relationship, and... let me videotape it. :'''Noel''': No. It's over. OK, the fact is, I mean even... even if you forget for just a second that we both did horrible things to each other, Felicity never felt for me what I felt for her. And that's just the truth. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Meghan''': ''[to Sean]'' If they get back together I'm gonna throw up, and I'm not kidding, I'm gonna vomit on this carpet. And you can videotape it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sean''': What's it like living with Felicity? :'''Meghan''': It's like living with a TV. That's always playing ''Little House on the Prairie''. Only with more sweaters... :'''Sean''': Anything else? :'''Meghan''': Yeah. If Noel asks me one more time if I've seen Felicity, I'm gonna kill him! Are you listening, Mr. R.A.? Here's the answer, for the rest of your life--'I HAVEN'T SEEN FELICITY!' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sean''': Do you have an opinion about Felicity and Noel? :'''Meghan''': Yeah. First of all, no one cares less than me. Second of all, GET OVER IT, Noel! She slept with an artist, it doesn't matter! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': So you want me to change my life so you can make a better documentary? :'''Sean''': Would you mind? === ''Connections'' [1.20] === :'''Ben''': ''[About his mom]'' She finally left my dad, and has a chance to be happy for the first time in her life..ever. I know that if she knew what was going here, she would be so worried. I've screwed up her life enough. :'''Felicity''': Maybe you should let her worry. I mean may be that's not such a bad thing. I mean they're still your parents. Maybe you should let your mom, be your mom. Let her take care of you. Let her worry about you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Noel''': ''[about Felicity]'' We're starting over. It's all about foundations and rebuilding. :'''Richard''': What's that supposed to mean? :'''Noel''': I have no idea. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': I thought that maybe you had hated me just a little. :'''Abby''': Maybe I do. You're young, perky. And then there's the hair. === ''The Force'' [1.21] === :'''Felicity''': I thought you liked Nicole. :'''Ben''': I did. I did! It's just she's been sending these signals... that she's interested in me. :'''Felicity''': What kind of signals? :'''Ben''': Well, she, uh, she kissed me. :'''Felicity''': What?! :'''Ben''': Yeah. That was one signal. And then she came over last night... she took her clothes off, which was signal number two. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': How is burning my hair going to help you with your finals? :'''Meghan''': Wouldn't ''you'' like to know? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': Meghan, what's going on? :'''Meghan''': What does it look like? :'''Felicity''': Yeah. I have no idea. === ''Felicity Was Here'' [1.22] === :'''Advisor''': Are you still thinking about becoming an R.A? :'''Felicity''': I don't think so. :'''Advisor''': Really? :'''Felicity''': Yeah, I'm...um, kind of feeling like who am I to be giving anyone advice? :'''Advisor''': You're someone who's been through it. (pause) So... see you next year? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': ''[to the advisor]'' I just hope this whole year wasn't for nothing. I hope I learned something. When I came here. I didn't know anyone. I mean, even the boy I followed to New York was a stranger, which,it turns out is why I followed him to New York. There were people here that I never met. Who,just became so important to me, it's like... I don't know... I guess they just felt like real friends. I bet you get this a lot, right? Kids at the end of their freshman year crying about their lives... about the way things turned out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': ''[to Sally]'' Is it just me, or did this year go by faster than ever? I mean, it actually seems like time is speeding up. Lately, I have been getting up earlier everyday. I don't know why. I guess it's the excitement of the end of the year or something. I've only got a few days left. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ben''': ''[to Felicity]'' How come everything has to have so much meaning? I mean, I've never met someone so desperate for meaning. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Felicity''': You and I both know that if we were to drive across the country, it would never be platonic. :'''Ben''': So? :... :'''Felicity''': I can't be having this conversation, because I am the devil. :'''Ben''': You keep saying you're the devil. I'll tell you what: you are not the devil. :'''Felicity''': What if I am? Then what? :'''Ben''': Then I'd still want you to come with me. :'''Felicity''': You would not! :'''Ben''': Yes I would. :'''Felicity''': First of all, you would not want me to go with you if I were the devil. And secondly, it's not just us. There are other people involved. :'''Ben''': Yeah, but I like you. I can't help it. :... :'''Ben''': Where are you going? :'''Felicity''': I don't know. It's a flight reflex. :''[Ben kisses Felicity. Felicity stares ahead in shock]'' :'''Ben''': I've been wanting to do that for a long time. == Cast == * [[w:Keri Russell|Keri Russell]] - Felicity Porter * [[w:Scott Speedman|Scott Speedman]] - Ben Covington * [[w:Scott Foley|Scott Foley]] - Noel Crane * [[w:Amy Jo Johnson|Amy Jo Johnson]] - Julie Emrick * [[w:Tangi Miller|Tangi Miller]] - Elena Tyler * [[w:Greg Grunberg|Greg Grunberg]] - Sean Blumberg * [[w:Amanda Foreman (actress)|Amanda Foreman]] - Meghan Rotundi * [[w:Ian Gomez|Ian Gomez]] - Javier Clemente Quintata == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|0134247|Felicity}} [[Category:2000s American teen drama TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:College TV shows]] [[Category:WB shows]] h6cp8k32884xkiiemv6o5ni33sfsk1s Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever 0 189346 3147725 3122688 2022-07-26T20:17:51Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 1)|1]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 2)|2]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 3)|3]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 4)|4]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 5)|5]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 6)|6]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Season 7)|7]] | [[Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1]] | [[Aqua Something You Know Whatever]] | [[Aqua TV Show Show]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever]] | [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force|'''Main''']] ---- <br> :''Aqua Teen won't ever be cancelled!'' :''Aqua Teen won't be dismantled!'' :''Aqua Teen, we're gonna be together!'' :''Aqua Teen, we're gonna be forever!''

That's not realistic. I Mean, Where would you put it? :'''Carl:''' What do you mean? You can put in the backyard, right next to the pool. Let's do that, this don't work for me.

She elbows him in the neck before he grabs her neck and throws her against the kitchen top drawers. Jaden's mother bashes his head with the freezer. She grabs a knife and begins swinging it at Santa. As she is about to stab him, he moves which sends the knife into a wall plug-in, electrocuting Jaden's mother. Santa grabs her by the back of her head and shoves her face into a sink full of water until she doesn't move anymore. Back to the present]'' :'''Jaden''': She made you work for it, did she?

He attempts to shoot, but there are no bullets]'' They say the second one is always- :''[Santa quickly shoots Jaden with another gun which sends him flying into three shelves and knocks all of the toys down]'' :'''Santa Claus''': Considerably. :''[Back to the flashback, Santa is then seen walking away from Jaden's mother after killing her. Then Jaden's mother screamed as she rises from the sink with her make-up smeared and holding the knife up, but Santa quickly shoots Jaden's mother, which is a short parody of a scene in Casino Royale before the opening credits starts]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[A dad, a mom and their son are in the living room on Christmas morning.

He then knocks the blocked boards down with his hands and entered the church. He crashed though the roof door and stared at the shiny bronze bell.

Santa is about to hit him, but Thor gained upper hand by smashing Santa onto the table a few times, before knocking him down on the floor. He is about to finish him off, but he swung his Mjollnir backwards and accidentally hit and killed Mrs. Claus who kept running and screaming, much to his surprise. He pulled his Mjollnir out of her smashed and blooded face, and noticed the fake Santa's naughty list on the floor]'' :'''Thor''': ''[picks the list up and reads it]'' Thor did none of this!

You look like you have cancer! Couldn't you have just let me keep my beautiful wife for Christmas? :'''Della''': You don't like it? :'''James''': Well here's where the irony kicks in. I wanted to get you hairbrushes for Christmas, but the man said I'd have to sell my watch to afford them! :'''Della''': Oh, no! You sold your watch? :'''James''': ''[Bleep]'', no! What, am I crazy?! For brushes?! I think the cat brush is just as ''[bleep]''ing good and that thing was a buck-fifty! :'''Della''': So, you didn't get me brushes? :'''James''': What, did they shave your ears too?! I said no, already! :'''Della''': Oh... ''[chuckles]'' Then what did you get me? :'''James''': ''[gives Della a set of lingerie]'' Lingerie! Now, go pop that sucker on!

No! ''[Comet soars in the air and dives into the well]'' Comet?! :'''Comet''': Um, okay. I'm stuck like halfway down. Almost there. :''[Santa facepalms himself. Another clock transition with the sound of a siren. The fire department and the police arrive]'' :'''Fireman''': We could throw down a rope and a harness down to the kid, except your reindeer's plugging up the hole now. :'''Comet''': Just throw down a grenade! :'''Santa Claus''': What?! :'''Comet''': Throw down one grenade to launch me toward the bottom. Then I'll grab the boy with my teeth. And you can throw down a second grenade to launch me to the surface! :'''Policeman''': Your deer don't know ''[bleep]'' about grenades, does he? :'''Santa Claus''': He spends most of his life on a frozen tundra.

Little boy?! :''[Fade to Comet, Santa and the little boy, who is now seen, in a cast and bandages in a hospital room]'' :'''Little Boy''': Thank you, Comet! You saved me! :'''Comet''': Aw, ain't know thing. :'''Santa Claus''': Well, actually, about 100 volunteers working around the clock with heavy machinery would've suf- :'''Little Boy''': I love you, Mr. Comet! :'''Comet''': I love you too, Mr. Little Boy! :''[Comet and the little boy both hug]'' :'''Santa Claus''': ''[leaves]'' That still freaks me out. :'''Comet''': ''[follows with his legs missing and he's floating in midair]'' Yeah.

He's got a really cool car. :''[Scene shows James and Christmas at the restaurant]'' :'''James Bond''': You're breaking up with me? :'''Christmas Jones''': There's nothing wrong with you, James.

When he gets home, he chops the resulting ashes into lines and snorts it like cocaine, after which he violently craps it into a toilet. The crap is processed in a sewage treatment plant. Cut to three kids playing Dungeons & Dragons in a basement]'' :'''Dungeonmaster''': The book says he's still not dead.

In Africa, AIDS has created millions of orphans who won't live to see puberty. :'''Annie''': Well...I sure don't like that mean ol' Miss Hannigan—! :'''Molly''': What don't you like exactly? 3 meals a day? A warm bed? Not being HIV positive? Not perfoming fellatio on foreign business men? :''[Annie went silent, taken aback]'' :'''Molly''': That's what you don't like? :'''Annie''': Uhh...I think I'm gonna go sweep over there for a while Molly. :''[Annie walks to her right to where Pepper is washing clothes in a bucket]'' :'''Annie''': Gee, Pepper! Miss Hannigan sure is mean! :'''Pepper''': Yeah! I hate that bitch! :''[TIME JUMP: 6 months later]'' :'''Daddy Warbucks''' We sure had a grand adventure, Annie!

I know as much because I remember thinking, "That is the whitest son of a bitch I have ever seen." ''[the Joker enters the warden's office]'' He had a funny way about him, not "ha-ha" funny, more "stab-stab" funny. :'''Joker''': ''[on the microphone]'' Welcome back to Arkham's Top 40. The Riddler writes: "Joker, can you please play 'Who Let the Dogs Out?'" ''[through speaker]'' Well, Riddler, here's your deathroom dedication. :'''Riddler''': ''[triumphantly]'' Yes! :'''Black Manta''':''[narrating]'' He even found a way to fool the Sodomites. :'''Sodomite''': Come here, Joker.

''[laughs]'' Clearly, I gots trouble with the math. :'''Batman''': ''[takes off the poster of Phyllis Diller to reveal the hole in the wall]'' Think you can escape in the sewer line, huh, Joker?! Not with the Batman on your tail! ''[in the sewer pipe]'' Ugh, smells like Batman Forever. :'''Joker''': ''[revealed, laughing]'' Sucker! :'''Black Manta''': ''[narrating]'' But what we didn't know was that the Joker hadn't actually left yet. :'''Joker''': Buffalo wings, do your thing!

Murdoch''': I do have something more. My faith. :'''Sir Doyle''': Oh? So you do believe in an afterlife yet you cut yourself off from the possibilities of communicating with it? :'''Det. Murdoch''': Common sense tells me that if we were indeed able to communicate with the afterlife, we wouldn't require the services of an intermediary. :'''Sir Doyle''': Yet you make your confessions to a priest. That sort of an intermediary? Where is your common sense in that? :'''Det. Murdoch''': Confession is about earthly sin, not heavenly imaginings. :'''Sir Doyle''': Well, last night, when Ms. Pensell that this Liza person may have a message for you, were you not the least bit hopeful? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sir Doyle''': What you are looking at is the future of policing and, dare I say, the future entertainment! Books, theatres, so on and so forth! :'''Det. Murdoch''': What, forensics? Too dull and gory, I should think. :'''Sir Doyle''': Quite the opposite. I suspect the public has an endless appetite for this sort of tale. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hubert Winston''': Grief is a private matter, detective. We all have our own methods of coping. === '''Til Death Do Us Part'' [1.5] === :'''Det. Murdoch''': You notice anything out of the ordinary? :'''Father Franks''': Nothing that would pertain to- :'''Det. Murdoch''': Reverend, a man has been killed. Everything is pertinent. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Det. Murdoch''': He was a sodomite? :'''Dr. Ogden''': William, I believe the term we use now is homosexual. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Recounting his police experience with homosexuals]'' :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': Listen, I've met a few shirt-lifters over the years and they're a dodgy bunch. They combine the cunning vindictiveness of a woman scorned with the male tendency to get the job done. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Ogden''': Really, Murdoch! I'm surprised at your close-mindedness. :'''Det. Murdoch''': Leaving the Bible aside... :'''Dr. Ogden''': Yes, could we? :'''Det. Murdoch''':...it goes against nature. :'''Dr. Ogden''': Oh, rubbish! Nature is full of omnisexual behavior! Have you never seen male dogs at play? :'''Det. Murdoch''': But those are dogs. :'''Dr. Ogden''': We're all animals, William! Behaving as nature intended. If God didn't want us to express our desires, why would He give us desires in the first place? :'''Det. Murdoch''': To test our resolve. :'''Dr. Ogden''': At whose expense? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Det. Murdoch''': Father, I find myself questioning the basic tenets of my faith. :'''Priest''': We all face challenges. Even Jesus did. :'''Det. Murdoch''': Two men are dead. By all standards, good men. But they are condemned to eternal damnation. How can this be God's will? :'''Priest''': It's not for us to question the will of the Lord. :'''Det. Murdoch''': But that's just it, Father. I don't think I can follow blindly anymore. :'''Priest''': Your faith must not waver. :'''Det. Murdoch''': I imagine a world that is more compassionate and enlightened and... :'''Priest''': Someday it may be. Perhaps not in our lifetimes. In the meanwhile, trust in the guidance of the Lord. === ''Let Loose The Dogs'' [1.6] === :''[Discussing a case involving Detective Murdoch's estranged father as a suspect]'' :'''Det. Murdoch''': Sir, I simply doubt I can be objective. :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': Then be professional. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': A man and his father might not always see eye to eye on certain matters. But with something as serious as this, you don't want to be left wondering if you should have done something differently. === ''Body Double'' [1.7] === :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': Murdoch, I'm off to the theatre. Not even you can ruin it. :'''Det. Murdoch''': Oh, the theatre, sir? Then you'll love the kinethescope! It shows a moving picture of- :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I've heard all about this nonsense. We have Shakespeare playing in The Grand and you'd rather watch a man with a head cold sneeze every ten seconds. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Det. Murdoch''': The language is archaic but that's only part of understanding Shakespeare, George. :'''Cst. Crabtree''': The hard part, I hope. :'''Det. Murdoch''': It's more about opening your mind to the message in the words. <hr width="50%"/> :''[When asked to leave a patient unattended for questioning]'' :'''Dentist Murphy''': You'll have to make it quick, plaintiff. Leave 'em alone too long and they run. :'''Det. Murdoch''': I understand the impulse. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Det. Murdoch''': One person, I could understand. But four people with identical memories? It's almost as if they were... :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': ...rehearsed. === ''Still Waters'' [1.8] === :'''Cst. Higgins''': So if we use your new mo-graph thingy... :'''Det. Murdoch''': ...then we can scientifically measure whether a man is lying. :'''Insp. Brackenreid''': I've got one of those at home. It's called a wife. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Minerva Fairchild identifies her fianceé's body]'' :'''Det. Murdoch''': She seems to be bearing up quite well. :'''Dr. Ogden''': When you're a Fairchild, you can never let your emotions show. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Det. Murdoch''': Did any of his teammates have any quarrel with him? :'''Coach Kane''': As I said earlier, detective. These boys are like family. :'''Det. Murdoch''': In my experience, conflict can arise even in the closest of families. === ''Belly Speaker'' [1.9] === === ''Child's Play'' [1.10] === === ''Bad Medicine'' [1.11] === === ''The Prince and the Rebel'' [1.12] === === ''The Annoying Red Planet'' [1.13] === == Cast == * [[w:Yannick_Bisson|Yannick Bisson]] - Detective William Henry Murdoch * [[w:Thomas_Craig_(actor)|Thomas Craig]] - Inspector Thomas Charles Brackenreid * [[w:Hélène_Joy|Hélène Joy]] - Dr. Julia Ogden * [[w:Jonny_Harris_(actor)|Jonny Harris]] - George Crabtree * [[w:Georgina_Reilly|Georgina Reilly]] - Dr. Emily Grace == External links == {{Wikipedia|Murdoch Mysteries}} * {{official website|http://www.cbc.ca/murdochmysteries/ |name=Official page at CBC Television |format=flash}} * [http://uktv.co.uk/alibi/homepage/sid/8089 ''Murdoch Mysteries''] at [[Alibi (TV channel)|Alibi]] * [http://www.ovationtv.com/artful-detective/ ''The Artful Detective''] at [[Ovation (U.S. TV channel)|Ovation]] * {{IMDb title|1091909|Murdoch Mysteries}} [[Category:CBC shows]] [[Category:Canadian crime drama TV shows]] 1crapkhi4pnayir0u4euj9twlbiri1m Wolf Hall (miniseries) 0 191066 3147727 2962840 2022-07-26T20:20:19Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki <!-- This is a comment. REMOVE ALL COMMENTS LIKE THIS FROM YOUR ARTICLE BEFORE SAVING. --> {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Wolf Hall (miniseries)|Wolf Hall]]''''' (2015) is a British TV serial based on the Hillary Mantell novels ''Wolf Hall'' and ''Bring up the Bodies''. Set against the backstory of King Henry VIII's annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and his subsequent- and equally ill-fated- marriage to Anne Boleyn, it depicts the rise to power of Thomas Cromwell, the son of a blacksmith who becomes the King's most trusted and brilliant adviser. == Season One == === ''Three-Card Trick'' [1.01] === ''[the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, accompanied by four Royal Guards, enter York Palace and confront Cardinal Wolsey'') :'''Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk''': Wolsey! You're ''OUT!'' :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''nervous, but putting on a facade of calm'') My Lords Norfolk and Suffolk. :'''Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk''': Cardinal Wolsey, you're dismissed as Lord Chancellor, by the King's orders. (''gestures'') And you are to return to us the Great Seal. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''':... You will have supper? :'''Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk''': (''leans forward, sneering'') You wanted it ''all'' to rule, ''yourself'', didn't you? Make us all come crawling in here like schoolboys for a ''whipping?'' Well, ''I'' am here, now- and I will ''chew you up''. (''A man in a black doublet and hat enters the room from a side door'') Bones, flesh and ''gristle''. :'''Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk''': You're to hand over the Great Seal! ''[The black-garbed man moves to the Cardinal's side and whispers in his ear; Wolsey's nervous expression becomes a smirk]'' :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''':... ''Apparently'', a written request from the ''King'' is necessary. Do you have one? (''Norfolk and Suffolk are stymied'') No? (''chuckles'') That was careless. (''gestures to the black-garbed man'') My lawyer, Thomas Cromwell. (''Cromwell stares them down'') :'''Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk''': (''incredulous'') You want us to go back to ''Windsor'' for a piece of ''paper?'' In this weather?! (''Cromwell leans forward and whispers to Wolsey again'') :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''smiles and nods'') Ahhh, I see!... (''to the Dukes'') ''Actually'', my lawyer tells me I ''can't'' give you the seal, written request or no. (''the Dukes look furious'') He tells me that, properly speaking, I should hand it ''only'' to the Master of the Rolls. So- you'd better come back with ''him''. (''smirks'') :'''Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk''': (''grits his teeth and smiles coldly'') I'm obliged, Master. (''he and Suffolk storm out, followed by their escort; Wolsey sighs heavily'') :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''to Cromwell, amused'') Did you ''know'' that, or did you make it up? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''grimly'') They'll be back, in a day. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''wearily'') These days, twenty-four ''hours'' feels like a victory. ----- ''[In a flashback two years before, Cromwell is showing Wolsey how to play three-card monte; Wolsey chuckles when he is defeated by Cromwell]'' :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''':...The King sent for me this morning, ''exceptionally'' early. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': What did he want? :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''sighs'') ''Pity''. A son- the King wants a son. Eighteen years of marriage, but no heir. Now, he's decided some ''sin'' must have been committed to cause this ''curse''. (''He guesses a card, and Cromwell beats him again; Wolsey sighs in exasperation'') Where did you learn this? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': At the docks- a little after I left home. Earned a ''living'' from it, for a while. (''smiles'') Everyone thought they could beat a ''child''. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''looks at him curiously'') What else should I know about you, ''monstrous servant?'' (''drinks'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... Once, in Italy, I held a ''snake'' for a bet. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': Was it poisonous? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': We didn't ''know''- that was the ''point'' of the bet. (''Wolsey chuckles admiringly'') The sin? :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': Oh- yes, the ''sin''. (''sighs, shakes his head'') I remember when they brought the Queen over from Spain, to marry Henry's brother, Prince Arthur. Sixteen- barely a ''word'' of English. God, when she danced- her red hair slid over her shoulder... (''he trails off'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''smiles'') ...God forgive you? :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''laughs'') God forgive us all. Then, Arthur dies, Henry decides he'll have his brother's widow for himself. Catherine declares that she is still a virgin, poor Arthur never having touched her. Rome issues the dispensation, and any doubts anyone has- (''claps his hands together with finality, sighs'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... But, now? :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': But, ''now'' the Queen can't give the King a ''son''. (''gives Cromwell a direct look'') ''So''... ''Now'', the Queen must ''not'' have been a virgin, after all. Henry says that he's lived all these years in an ''unlawful'' marriage- hence the sin. So, it's back to Rome, for an annulment. (''shrugs'') And, she's blaming ''me'', of course- Catherine. She ''can't'' blame the King, so it's all ''my'' doing. No matter that I ''begged'' him not to proceed. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': When she defeated the Scots, I heard she wanted to send the Scottish King's ''head'' in a bag to Henry, to cheer him up. (''sees Wolsey's skeptical look and shrugs'') She's a ''fighter''. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''chuckles'') Perhaps you should teach me your three-card trick, hm? In case we both end up on the streets! (''he and Cromwell both laugh'') ----- ''[Cromwell arrives at his friend Bonvisi's house; among the other dinner guests are Chapuys and Thomas More]'' :'''Bonvisi''': (''in Italian'') "Sit, Thomas." (''Cromwell sits at the opposite end of the table from More'') "Sit, eat." :'''Thomas Cromwell''': ''Gratzie''. (''he notices that More has fallen silent and is deliberately looking away from him'') If you want to talk about me, Master More, you can speak while I'm here- I have a thick skin. :'''Thomas More''': (''glances up, shrugs'') No one was talking of you. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Of the ''Cardinal'', then? :'''Bonvisi''': (''interrupting'') Thomas, this is Monsieur Chapuys, the Emperor's new Ambassador here in London. (''Chapuys glances at Cromwell'') Monsieur Chapuys, my friend Thomas Cromwell. :'''Eustace Chapuys''': (''nods'') Enchanted. (''they load food on their plates, Chapuys leans close to More and speaks in Latin'') "I have heard of this one- no one knows where he comes from. Like the Wandering Jew." (''More smiles'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''sarcastically'') I hardly know where I come from ''myself'' (''Chapuys looks up sharply'') If you want to speak half-secretly, try ''Greek'', Monsieur Chapuys. :'''Bonvisi''': (''to More'') My friend, you are looking at your herring as if you hate it. :'''Thomas More''': ...There's nothing wrong with the herring. (''pause'') But, of Cardinal Wolsey, I will say only this: he has brought his fall on ''himself''. He has drawn it all on himself- land, money and titles. He's always had a ''greed'' for ruling over other men- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': The Cardinal's a public man; would you have him shrink from a public role? (''Chapuys glances between them'') :'''Thomas More''': Oh, I think it's a little ''late'' to read the Cardinal a lesson in ''humility''. His ''real'' friends have tried long ago and been ''ignored'' (''smirks slightly'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''sarcastically'') And ''you'' count yourself a ''real'' friend, do you? I'll tell him- and by the blood of Christ, Lord Chancellor, he'll find it a consolation as he sits in ''exile'' and wonders why you ''slander'' him to the King. :'''Bonvisi''': (''trying to stop the argument'') Gentlemen, please- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''angrily'') No, let's have this ''straight''. Thomas here says, "I'd spend my ''life'' in the Church if I had the choice, I'm ''devoted'' to things of the spirit! I care nothing for wealth, the worlds' esteem is ''nothing'' to me." So, how is it I come back to London and find you've become ''Lord Chancellor?'' Lord Chancellor- what's that, a fucking ''accident?!'' (''there is a long, ominous pause, More wipes his lips with a napkin, glaring at Cromwell'') :'''Thomas More''':... You're no ''friend'' of the Church, Thomas. You're as friend to ''one'' priest only- and he's the most corrupt in Christendom. (''leaves'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''to Bonvisi'')... You ''must'' give me the recipe for this ''sauce''. ----- ''[in a flashback a year ago, Cromwell's wife Liz and their two daughters have died of illness]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''To Johane, his sister-in-law'')... Everybody said it was back. This, um... 'sweating sickness'. (''pause'') I should've sent them to the country. :'''Johanne Williamson''': Liz wouldn't have let them go. (''puts her hand on his shoulder'') Anne cried, every time you were away. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Did she?... ''Anne'' did. :'''Johanne Williamson''': Joan and I can stay a while with you... look after the household. Until you... (''she trails off, they both stare at the three graves'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''':...She wanted to learn ''Greek.'' (''Johanne begins to sob quietly'') Hey... (''he embraces her, tears in his eyes'') ----- ''[Cromwell is granted an audience with King Henry, meeting him and his court in the gardens of Hampton Court Palace; he removes his hat and bows until Henry gestures for him to rise]'' :'''Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk''': Cromwell- how's your ''fat priest?'' (''the other courtiers laugh, then drift away as Henry approaches to speak with Cromwell'') :'''King Henry VIII''': (''quietly, to Cromwell'')... How is...? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': He cannot be well until he has Your Majesty's favor. :'''King Henry VIII''': The list of charges against him grows every day. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': With respect, Your Majesty, there's an answer to each one- and given a fair hearing, we'd make them- :'''King Henry VIII''': (''shakes his head'')...Not today. Suffolk wants to go hunting. We usually say we're ''gentlemen'', but the hunt prepares us for ''war''. Which brings us to a ''sticky'' point, Master Cromwell. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''smiles uneasily'') Yes, it does indeed. (''pause'') :'''King Henry VIII''':... You said in Parliament, in a speech some six years ago, that I could not ''afford'' a war- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Wars are not ''affordable'' things. :'''King Henry VIII''': (''increasingly angry'') When I went into France, I ''captured'' the town of Terreax-Anne, which ''you'' called- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''firmly'') "A dog-hole", Majesty? :'''King Henry VIII''': ''How'' could you say so? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Ahh, I've ''been'' there? :'''King Henry VIII''': So have ''I''- at the head of an ''army!'' ''You'' told me I could not lead my own ''troops''- you told me if I was taken prisoner, the ransom would bankrupt the ''country!'' So, what do you want?! You want the King of England to ''huddle'' indoors, like a sick girl?! :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''bluntly'') That would be ''ideal'', for fiscal purposes. (''Henry is stunned into silence for a moment'') A ''strong'' man acts ''within'', that which constrains him. :'''King Henry VIII''': (''sharply'') ...What constrains ''me?'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': ''Distance''. When Your Majesty's ancestors fought in France, they held whole ''provinces''. From there, they could supply, they could provision. Now, we have only Calais. How can we support an army in the interior? :'''King Henry VIII''': (''frowns thoughtfully'') So, next time we go into France... we'll need a seacoast. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Of course. Normandy, Brittany... :'''King Henry VIII''': (''looks at Cromwell with new interest'')... Master Cromwell, your reputation is ''bad''. (''Cromwell looks away, shrugging slightly'') You don't defend yourself? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''looks him in the eye'') Your Majesty can form your ''own'' opinions. :'''King Henry VIII''':... I can. And I will. === ''Entirely Beloved'' [1.02] === ''[Thomas Wriothesley has arrived at Austin Friars looking for employment; he is met by Cromwell and his two wards, Rafe and Richard]'' :'''Thomas Wriothesley''': (''introducing himself, nervously'') "Wriths-ley." It's spelled W-R-I-O-T... (''trails off, swallows'') Just... Call-me-Risley. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, Master Wriothesley, we're always looking for bright young men. You worked for the Cardinal, I think? :'''Thomas Wriothesley''': Yes, sir. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': But then ''left''- with Stephen Gardiner? :'''Thomas Wriothesley''': (''nervously'')... I'm his clerk. But, it... doesn't occupy all of my time, and I'm keen to learn something of ''business. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''smiles'') Well, we're ''all'' business here at Austin Friars- aren't we, boys? (''Rafe and Richard smirk at Wriothesley'') ''[Cut to Cromwell, Richard and Rafe watching Wriothesley leave]'' :'''Rlph "Rafe" Sadler''': You ''know'' Gardiner will have sent him here to spy on us. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, he seems obliging. Perhaps we can send him back to spy on ''Gardiner''. ----- ''[Cromwell and More walk through the gardens around More's home, More carrying a rabit]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': You know, the first time we met was when you were a young student. :'''Thomas More''': Where was this? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Lambeth Palace. My uncle John was a cook there, and I worked some days in the kitchens. I served ''you'', once. :'''Thomas More''': I don't think so. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I remember one evening, we had a football match on, and I heard a recorder playing- ''[they round a corner and see Gardiner waiting for them impatiently, as a young man wearing a plumed hat dances around him'') :'''Thomas More''': Ah! My other guest. (''hands the rabbit to Cromwell'') Now, you carry on. (''to the young man'') Now, Henry, leave Master Gardiner alone! You come along to the house- come on, come on. (''takes his arm and leads him away'') Let's go- let's go to the house. :'''Stephen Gardiner''': (''irritably, as he follows More alongside Cromwell'') What about Master Wriothesley? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': And a good evening to you ''too'', Stephen. :'''Stephen Gardiner''': Remind me- is he working for ''me'' or for ''you?'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''':(''smugly'') For ''you'', I would have thought. :'''Stephen Gardiner''': So why is he always at ''your'' house? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, he's not a bound apprentice- he can come and go as he pleases. :'''Stephen Gardiner''': (''snidely'') He thinks he'll make his ''fortune'', I suppose- everyone knows ''money'' sticks to your hands. He wants to know what he can ''learn'' from... ''whatever'' it is you call yourself these days. :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... A person. The Duke of Norfolk says I'm a person. (''nods to the man More is leading'') Is that his ''fool?'' :'''Stephen Gardiner''': He's supposed to have fallen off a church roof and landed on his head. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': ''Supposed'' to? :'''Stephen Gardiner''': (''shrugs'') It'd be just like ''More'' to keep a fool who ''wasn't''- just to embarrass people. ----- ''[Cromwell enters Anne's sitting-room at York Palace, flicking Mark Smeaton in the head as he passes]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Cheer it up, can't you? :'''Anne Boleyn''': What did you just do? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I ''hit'' Mark Smeaton- only with one finger. (''removes his beret and bows briefly'') :'''Anne Boleyn''': Who? Oh- is that his name? (''pause'') Where have you been? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Utopia. :'''Anne Boleyn''': Ah. What was the talk? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''curtly'') The vices and follies of ''women''. :'''Anne Boleyn''': I suppose you joined in? (''she follows his gaze to a bearded priest standing in the shadows'') My chaplain, Dr. Cranmer. (''Cranmer slowly comes forward and bows to Cromwell'') Hiding, because there's no good news. He's just back from Rome. ''[Cromwell, recognizing Cranmer from a secret Lutheran meeting, bows as well]'' :'''Anne Boleyn''': ''Cremuel'' here is ''Wolsey's'' man. My uncle Norfolk describes him as "a useful sort to employ". (''smirks'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I'm sure he describes me as ''other'' things, too. :'''Anne Boleyn''':... I hear Wolsey has letters from ''Catherine''. Is that true? (''Cromwell shrugs'') And that Rome will issue a decree telling the King to ''part'' from me. :'''Thomas Cranmer''': That would be a ''mistake'', on Rome's part- :'''Anne Boleyn''': Yes, it ''would''. Because he ''won't'' be told. What is he? Some ''child?'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... Why did you send for me? :'''Anne Boleyn''': I have something to show you. (''holds out her hand to Lady Rochford'') :'''Jane Rochford''': (''disgusted'') Oh, ''please''- don't give it currency- :'''Anne Boleyn''': ''Give it!'' (''she takes a paper from Rochford and unfolds it'') This was found in my bed; the sickly, milk-faced creeper had turned down the sheet. Of course I can't get any sense out of ''her''- she cries if you look at her sideways. So, I don't know who put it there. (''she holds it up, Cromwell steps closer'') That's the Queen, Catherine- you see? And that's me- ''Anne sans tête.'' (''gives Cromwell a tight-lipped, cold smile and folds up the drawing'') I'm told that Wolsey kept you because you knew all the London gossip. If you find out who's responsible for this... I want you to ''tell'' me. (''she offers him the paper; when Cromwell doesn't take it, she withdraws her arm'') I have a new motto- did you know? (''in French'') "Never mind who grudges it- this ''will'' happen." (''pause'') I mean to have him. ''[she offers the paper again; after a long pause, Cromwell takes it]'' ----- ''[Cromwell walks with the King after an archery match]'' :'''King Henry VIII''': Wolsey told me once that you had a ''loathing'' of those in religious life; that's why he found you so ''diligent'' in your inspection of the monasteries. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': That was not the reason. (''long pause, Henry looks at him questioningly'') May I speak? :'''King Henry VIII''': ''God'', I wish ''someone'' would. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, if you ask me about the monks, I speak from ''experience'', not prejudice. And my experience has largely been one of... corruption, and waste. I've seen monks who live like great ''Lords'' on the offerings of the poor; take children in, and, rather than educating them as they promised, using them as servants. For hundreds of years, the monks have written what we ''take'' to be our history- but I think they've suppressed our true history, and written one that's favorable to ''Rome.'' :'''King Henry VIII''': ''God'', I could make good use of the money that flows from them to Rome each year. King Francois is richer than I am, taxes his subjects as he pleases- ''I'' have to call ''Parliament'', or there are ''riots''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, sir, with respect, Francois likes ''war'' too much and ''trade'' too little. There are more taxes to be raised when trade is good, and if taxes are resisted- even by the ''church''- other ways can be found. (''they stop walking'') :'''King Henry VIII''': (''looks at Cromwell thoughtfully'')... All right. Sit down with my lawyers, to discuss it. (''pause'') ''Begin'' with the monasteries. (''they move indoors to avoid rain, Cromwell helps Henry with his sleeve'')... Some say I should consider my marriage ''dissolved'', and that I should re-marry as I please- and ''soon''. (''sighs'') But, there are others who say- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''gives him a direct look'') ''I'm'' one of the ''others.'' :'''King Henry VIII''': (''grits his teeth'')... Dear ''Christ'', I shall be ''unmanned'' by it. How long am I supposed to ''wait?!'' (''pause, fearfully'') Anne says she'll leave me. Says there are other men- says she's wasting her youth. (''Cromwell meets his gaze, then looks away'') ----- ''[George Gavendish, another of Wolsey's friends, describes Wolsey's downfall to Cromwell. The scenes he describes appear onscreen]'' :'''George Cavendish''': We hadn't finished dinner when they came in. They had taken keys from the porter- they had already set sentries on the stairs. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Who was it? :'''George Cavendish''': Harry Percy. (''Percy pulls his hood back'') He was ''shaking''. I thought, why send ''him?'' Why Harry Percy? And then, I thought... Lady Anne, remember. She was just a girl, she wanted to marry him- the Cardinal stopped it. ''Revenge''. She waited her time. ''[Percy and his men burst in on Wolsey and Cavendish at their table]'' :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''pretending to act surprised'') Harry! If I'd known, I would have waited dinner for you. I fear we've almost finished the fish. (''smirks'') Shall I pray for a miracle? :'''Henry "Harry" Percy, Earl of Northumberland''': (''shaking with rage'') My Lord, I arrest you for high treason! :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''pauses, then daubs his mouth with a napkin'') Your warrant? :'''Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland''':... There are items in my instructions ''you'' may not see. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''':... ''Well''. If you won't show it, I won't surrender to you. So... (''smiles'') ''Here's'' a state of affairs! ''[Confused, Percy stares at him; Wolsey pushes back his chair and stands]'' :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': Come, George. ''[he leaves the room, followed by Cavendish; after a few moments, Percy and his men come after them. Cavendish slams a door in their faces, but Wolsey gestures for him to open it.]'' :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': Look at me, George. (''Cavendish does so'') I'm not afraid of any man alive. :'''George Cavendish''': (''in tears'') They took us from the house and rode south. There were crowds waiting to see him- holding candles. We thought they'd disperse, but they just... stood all night in the road. (''Cromwell looks away sadly, picking up the little box Wolsey gave him'') He stopped eating. :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... Why? :'''George Cavendish''': I don't know. Some said he- some said, he wanted to destroy himself. It all happened so ''fast''... and then, ''Kingston'' came. (''pause'') I had to tell him, Thomas. I had to tell our Lord that the Constable of the ''Tower'' had come to fetch him. (''pause'') He just kept saying, "William Kingston?" over and over, as if he couldn't believe it. (''sighs'') By the time we reached Leicester... he was too ill to stand. He voided black blood... I thought, ''poison''... :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''': (''weakly, on his deathbed'')... Thomas... :'''George Cavendish''': (''grasping Wolsey's hand reassuringly'') He's coming, my Lord. :'''Cardinal Thomas Wolsey''':... Where... where is he?... :'''George Cavendish''': You know Cromwell, my Lord. If he says he'll come, he'll be here. ''[Wolsey continues to weaken; Cavendish calls over a priest for last rights]'' :'''George Cavendish''':... I'm sorry, Thomas. He died the next day. They- they gave him a coffin of ''plain'' boards... And the city officials came to ''view'' his body, so there wouldn't be any false rumors that he'd escaped to France. (''Cromwell stares out the window, Cavendish begins to sob'') They- they made ''jokes''. They made jokes about his ''low birth''. ''[A play is shown at court, depicting Wolsey being dragged to Hell by four demons]'' :'''1st Demon''': Come, Wolsey! We are fetching you to Hell, where our Master Beelzebub is expecting you for ''supper!'' :'''2nd Demon''': Beelzebub would have you joint his ''venison''- he's heard of your skill as a ''butcher!'' ''[As the actors playing the demons remove their masks, Cromwell- watching angrily from the shadows- memorizes their faces. Cromwell is then shown being sworn in to the Privy Council by Thomas More]'' :'''Thomas More''': "I swear to be a true and loyal counselor to the King's Majesty, as one of His Highness' Privy Council." :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I swear to be a true and loyal counselor to the King's Majesty, as one of His Highness' Privy Council. :'''Thomas More''': "I shall not know, or understand, any manner of thing to be attempted, done or spoken against His Majesty's person." :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I shall not know, or understand, any manner of thing to be attempted, done or spoken against His Majesty's person. :'''Thomas More''': "I swear to uphold the King's authorities, I swear to uphold the King's jurisdictions." :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I swear to uphold the King's authorities, I swear to uphold the King's jurisdictions. :'''Thomas More''': "I swear to uphold the King's heirs, and lawful successors." :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I swear to uphold the King's heirs, and lawful successors... ''[In the present, Cromwell opens the box that Wolsey left him to reveal the jade ring that the Cardinal always wore]'' :'''George Cavendish''': (''sobbing'') I knelt by his body, and I wept. And I prayed to God to send ''vengeance'' upon them ''all!'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''turns around, a grim look on his face'')... There's no need to trouble ''God'', George. (''he puts on Wolsey's ring'') ''I'll'' take it in hand. === ''Anna Regina'' [1.03] === ''[Cromwell meets with Queen Catherine of Aragon and her daughter Mary; he notices that Mary is extremely pale and unsteady]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Madam, your daughter should sit. :'''Mary Tudor''': (''to her mother, in Spanish'') My "woman's disorder"- :'''Catherine of Aragon''': (''firmly'') ''Stand up straight''. (''nods at Cromwell'') This is Master Cromwell- he used to be a ''moneylender''. Now, he writes all the laws. I have heard all about your new bill. You think the ''King'' can describe himself as the Head of the Church? :'''Mary Tudor''': The ''Pope'' is the Head of the Church, ''everywhere''. The ''lawfulness'' of all government flows from the- the- ''[she sways, overcome, but Cromwell quickly crosses the room, grabs a chair, and places it beside her]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''gently'') Will you not sit, Princess Mary? (''Mary slowly sits'') It's just the heat. (''adresses Catherine'') But, I beg you, Madam, to consider it in this way: the King has merely ''defined'' a ''position'', which ancient precedents- :'''Catherine of Aragon''': (''scornfully'') ''Ancient precedents?'' Precedents you've ''invented'', these past three months! :'''Thomas Cromwell''': As for ''induced'', Your Highness knows the King ''cannot'' be lead. :'''Catherine of Aragon''': But he ''can'' be ''enticed''. (''sadly'') He has ridden off without saying goodbye. He has never done that before- never. :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... Well, I think he means to hunt out of Chertsey, for a few days. :'''Mary Tudor''': With the ''woman''. (''contemptuously'') The ''person''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Your Highness will be going to another palace. He has chosen the Moore, in Hartfordshire, which as you know is very comfortable- :'''Mary Tudor''': It was one of your ''Cardinal's'' houses, wasn't it? (''smirks'') So it's ''bound'' to be ''lavish''. :'''Catherine of Aragon''':...I expected this. But, I did not expect he would send a man like ''you'' to tell me. ----- :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''angrily, as she and Cromwell walk through the gardens'') Last week at Greenwich, a friar preached to us- about the ''good King'' who was corrupted by the ''wicked Jezebel''. ''Apparently'', she built a Pagan temple and let the priests of ''Baal'' into the palace. (''pause'') She ended up being thrown out of a ''window''. (''pause, glances at Cromwell'') ''I'm'' the Jezebel- you see? And ''you're'' the priests of Baal. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''nods'') ...I see. (''long pause'') More's arrested a barrister- James Bainham. :'''Anne Boleyn''':...And what do you expect ''me'' to do about it? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Talk to the King. (''Anne glances away'') You know how to ''please'' him, I suppose? :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''chuckles scornfully'') My ''maidenhead'', for your ''lawyer?'' (''pause, glances at Cromwell again'') He'll be released. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, Bill Pillney ''wasn't''. They ''burnt'' him, at Norwich. :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''looks him in the eye, firmly'') Your ''barrister'' friend will ''recant'', and he'll be ''released''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': And if he doesn't. :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''frowns'') Then he's a ''fool''. People should say ''whatever'' will keep them ''alive''. (''pause, smiles slightly'') ''You'' would, wouldn't you? (''glances at a package of blue silk in Cromwell's hand'') What's that? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''glances at it'')... Er, it's a gift for one of your women. The little girl who always cries. (''Anne laughs'') What? :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''looks at him in surprise'') Didn't you hear? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': No, what? :'''Anne Boleyn''': Her ''father'', dear old Sir John Seymour- he was caught in the hayloft with his son Edward's ''wife!'' (''Cromwell looks startled, Anne laughs'') It seems he's had her every ''week'' for the last two ''years!'' Edward's put the wife in a nunnery, and I don't think we'll see dear old Sir John at Court soon! :'''Thomas Cromwell''': And the ''daughter''- Jane, is it? :'''Anne Boleyn''': Mm- pasty face. Gone to Wiltshire. (''pause'') It's ''her'' best bet to get into a nunnery, too- no one will want to marry the milksop ''now''. (''takes the package from Cromwell and examines it'') So, what is it? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Ah, it's only- er- a book of needlework patterns. (''Anne stops, staring at him curiously'') :'''Anne Boleyn''':... You don't ''like'' her, do you? Because I'm not sure it's ''proper'' for you to send her a ''present''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''chuckles, gestures to the package'') Well, it's not like it's ''Tales from Boccaccio''. :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''laughs'') Oh,they could tell ''Boccaccio'' a tale! (''starts to walk away'') Those ''sinners'' at Wolf Hall! ----- ''[Cromwell, having been sent by Norfolk and the Boleyns to cow Henry Percy, finds him at a cluttered inn. He briefly recalls the role Percy played in Wolsey's downfall.]'' :'''Onlooker''': Looking for a woman? (''ignoring him, Cromwell shoves aside Percy's bodyguard and enters the room where Percy is sitting; he removes his hat and briefly bows'') :'''Henry "Harry" Percy, Earl of Northumberland''': (''bored'') Oh, God- yes, I thought ''you'd'' come. (''Cromwell closes the window to the adjacent room'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''to a servant'') Hey- ''out''. (''the servant leaves'') :'''Harry Percy, Earl of Northumberland''': Well, you're wasting your time- I ''was'' pledged to Anne. (''picks up his cup and drinks'') She allowed me such freedom with herself as only a ''betrothed'' woman ''would'' allow. (''refills his cup'') The Cardinal ''bullied'' me out of saying anything last time- but I'm not afraid to speak the truth, now. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''sits opposite him'') Good. My Lord, you've said what ''you'' have to say- ''now'', listen to me. You're a man whose money is almost ''spent''. I'm a man who knows ''how'' you've spent it. You're a man who's ''borrowed'' all over Europe; ''I'm'' a man who knows your creditors. ''One word'' from me, and ''all'' your debts will be called in- :'''Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland''': (''dismissively'') And what are ''they'' gonna do? Bankers don't have ''armies''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Neither will ''you'', without any money. (''pause'') My Lord, you hold your Earldom from the ''King''. Your task is to secure the North, to ''defend'' us against Scotland; if you cannot ensure these things, the King will ''take'' your land ''and'' your titles and ''give'' them to somebody who will ''do'' the job ''you'' cannot do. :'''Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland''': (''petulantly'') No, he won't- he respects ''all'' ancient titles. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''smirks scornfully'') How can I explain this to you? (''pause'') The world is ''not'' run, from where you think it is- from border fortresses, even from ''Whitehall.'' The world is run from ''Antwerp'', from ''Florence'', from ''Lisbon''. From wherever the ''merchant'' ships set sail off into the west. Not from castle walls- from ''counting-houses.'' From the ''pens'' that scrape out your promissory-notes. So, believe me when I say, that my banker friends and I will ''rip your life apart.'' (''Percy glances at him, looking sullen but increasingly uneasy'') And then, when you are without money and title, yes- I can picture you. Living in a ''hovel'', wearing ''homespun'', bringing home a ''rabbit'' for the pot. (''smirks'') Your ''lawful'' wife, Anne Boleyn, ''skinning'' and ''jointing'' that rabbit! ''Yes'', I wish you all ''happiness''. (''Meets Percy's eye, coldly'') You were ''never'' precontracted. Any ''understanding'' you think you had- (''shakes his head'') You ''didn't'' have it. And, if you think Lady Anne loves you, well, you couldn't be more mistaken. I've just come from her. She ''hates'' you. She ''despises'' you. She wants you gone. (''pause, Percy looks stunned'') So- if you say ''one more word'' about Lady Anne's "freedom" with you, I will come and drag you out of whatever ''hole'' you're cowering in, and the Duke of Norfolk will bite your ''bollocks'' off. I do hope that's ''clear'', my Lord. ----- :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''indicating Thomas More, talking with Henry and Norfolk outside'') There he is. My uncle and I worked for his removal for months- and now he ''resigns'', over this bill. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''sighs'') His great ''protest''. England's just a ''stage'', to him. :'''Anne Boleyn''': Who should replace him? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Put it in the King's mind to appoint Audley. He's a good man- and he understands me, I think. :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''raises her eyebrows'') To think that someone ''does!'' (''She and Cromwell both smile'') ''Cranmer'' as Archbishop, ''Audley'' as Lord Chancellor... soon, ''you'll'' have friends everywhere! (''pause'') And for yourself? (''Cromwell frowns, thinking; Anne looks away'') I thought perhaps Keeper of the Jewel-House. (''glances back down at More'') Where's the chain of office? He's supposed to hand it over. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''comes to the window and looks closer'') In the bag. (''outside, More offers the bag to Henry, who reluctantly takes it'') :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''glances at Cromwell, surprised'') So, that's it? More is out? (''glances away, smiles'') Shall we go down? (''Cromwell meets her eye, then they both start to chuckle'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''': You- you can't resist it. :'''Anne Boleyn''': No more can ''you!'' ''[she takes Cromwell's hand and allows him to lead her outside; More bows to Anne and they bow to the King, then Henry leads Anne and Norfolk away, leaving Cromwell with More.]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''':... What will you do now? :'''Thomas More''':... Write. Pray. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': My recommendation: write only a little, and pray a ''lot''. :'''Thomas More''': (''smirks'') Now, is that a ''threat?'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': My turn, don't you think? (''follows the royal party'') === ''The Devil's Spit'' [1.04] === === ''Crows'' [1.05] === === ''Master of Phantoms'' [1.06] === ''[Anne, doting on her young daughter Elizabeth, tries to get Henry engaged in their game; completely indifferent, Henry picks his teeth for a moment then walks out without looking at her. Cromwell moves to follow him]'' :'''Anne Boleyn''': ''Cremuel''. (''Cromwell stops; Anne hands Elizabeth to her nurse, who carries her out'') I am told... that, when you thought that the King was dead, your ''first'' thought was to send for the bastard ''Mary.'' (''gives him a cold, tight-lipped smile'') You did not think of ''me'', or my ''daughter''- or, the child I was carrying then. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I cannot hold the Throne... for an ''infant'' in the cradle. I cannot hold the Throne for an ''unborn'' baby. (''Anne glares at him'') :'''Anne Boleyn''': I ''promoted'' you. ''I'' am responsible for your rise. And at the ''first'' opportunity, you've ''betrayed'' me. :'''Thomas Cromwell''':...Madam, ''nothing'' here is personal. :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''contemptuously'') You think you've grown ''great''. You ''think'' you no longer need me, but you've forgotten the most ''important'' thing, ''Cremuel'': those who've been ''made'', can be ''unmade''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''coolly'') ...I ''entirely'' agree. (''bows his head to her and walks out'') ----- :'''Nicholas Carew''': (''as he dines with Cromwell'') We want the ''concubine'' ousted. We know ''you'' want it, too. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': "We?" :'''Nicholas Carew''': Oh, my friends in this matter are ''very'' near the Throne. Those in the line of old King Edward; Lord Exeter, the Courtenay family, Lord Montague, his brother Geoffrey Pole, Lady Margaret Pole... these are the ''principal'' persons on whose behalf I speak, but... as you are aware, the most part of ''England'' would ''rejoice'' to see the King ''free'' of her. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I don't think the most part of England knows or ''cares''. (''pause'') What do you require of me? :'''Nicholas Carew''': (''stares at him'') We ''require''... that you join us. We're content to have Seymour's girl crowned- she's known to favor ''true'' religion, and we believe she will bring Henry back to Rome. (''pause'') And ''this'' is our difficulty, Cromwell- we know you're a ''Lutheran''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Me? No, sir. I'm... I'm a ''banker''. (''Carew chuckles'') What will happen to... Anne Boleyn? :'''Nicholas Carew''': (''pause, shrugs'') Don't know... convent? ----- :'''William Brereton''': What's to do here? :'''Jane Rochford''': Everyone's been ''fighting''- and all because of that boy, Mark. (''looks insolently at Anne'') ''I'' think he should be dropped from a great height- just like your ''dog'', Percois. ''[Anne stares at her for a moment, then rises from her chair, walks over, and slaps her hard across the face]'' :'''Jane Rochford''': Do that again, and I will hit you ''back''. You're no ''Queen'', you're just a knight's daughter- and your ''time'' has come. (''the two women glare at each other, both seething'') :'''Anne Boleyn''': Harry? Do me a good turn- take away my brother's wife and ''drown'' her. :'''Henry Norris''': ''Anne''- :'''Anne Boleyn''': ''What?'' Didn't you swear you'd walk barefoot to ''China'' for me? :'''Henry Norris''': I think it was barefoot to ''Walsingham'', I offered. :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''looks at him with disbelief and contempt'') Perhaps you can repent your ''sins'' there! Because, if anything were to happen to the ''King'', you'd look to ''have'' me! (''doesn't notice Rochford still staring at her'') Oh yes, you see now, Mary, why he hasn't married ''you'' yet. It's because he's in love with ''me''- or so he claims. And yet, he ''won't'' prove it, by putting Lady Rochford in a ''sack'' and ''dropping'' her in the river! :'''Henry Norris''':... Will you spill ''all'' your secrets, Anne? Or only ''some?'' (''storms out, Anne suddenly look worried'') ----- ''[having arrested four men on charges of "adultery" with Anne Boleyn, Cromwell visits them each in the Tower]'' :'''George Boleyn''': I know why I'm here: my wife. (''Cromwell shrugs'') What has she said? Well, whatever it is, you can't hold me on the word of one woman. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Well, there have been ''other'' women who have been... recipients of your ''gallantry'', George. You've always regarded women as ''disposable''. :'''George Boleyn''': (''smirks'') What- you're going to put me on trial for ''gallantry?'' You know, I didn't know it was a ''crime'' to spend time with a winning lover. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': It is if that lover is your ''sister''. (''George turns around, shocked. Shift to a different cell, with Cromwell talking to Norris'') :'''Henry Norris''': My family have served the King of England for ''generations''. I have been at the side of Henry since I was a boy. I'm ''nothing'' like her brother, I would never forget my honor! Never! :'''Thomas Cromwell''': You want me to write it on the wall for you, Norris? She can't give him a son, he wants another wife, she won't go ''quietly''. Is that ''simple'' enough for your simple tastes? She has to be ''pushed''; ''I'' have to push her. :'''Henry Norris''': ...Well, you'll get no confession from ''me''. Or Brereton, either. (''pause, arrogantly'') You cannot torture ''gentlemen''- the King would not permit it. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''steps forward'') Well, they don't have to be ''formal'' arrangements. (''suddenly grabs Norris' face'') I could put my ''thumbs'' in your ''eyes'', and you would sing "Green Grows the Holly" if I asked you to. Hmm? (''releases him. Cut to Brereton's cell'') Let's go back. I remember, in the late Cardinal's time, one of your household killed a man in a ball's match. :'''William Brereton''': (''shrugs, refusing to look at Cromwell'') Well, the game can get very ''heated''. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': The Cardinal thought it was time for a ''reckoning''- but, your family impeded the investigation, and I asked myself, "Has anything changed since then?" Jon of Eton had a quarrel with your household only recently- :'''William Brereton''': (''sneers dismissively'') So ''that's'' why I'm here. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Not ''entirely''- but leave aside your ''adultery'' with the Queen (''Brereton looks at him sharply'') and let's concentrate on Eton. Blows were exchanged, a man was ''killed''. Eton was tried- and ''acquitted''. But ''you'', because you have ''no'' respect for the law- :'''William Brereton''': I have ''every'' respect- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''furious'') ''DON'T interrupt me!'' You had the man ''abducted'' and ''hanged!'' You think because it was only ''one'' man, it doesn't matter. You think no one will remember, but ''I'' remember. You think you can do ''anything'' because ''Norfolk'' favors you- :'''William Brereton''': The ''King'' favors me. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''smirks'') Does he- ''does'' he? Well, you should complain about your ''lodgings'', then. ''Shouldn't'' you? (''cut to George Boleyn'') Francis Bryan has been explaining it to me. :'''George Boleyn''': ''Bryan?'' Bryan is an enemy of mine- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': I begin to see it- how a man may hardly ''know'' his sister. She grows up in France- they meet as adults. She's like him, and yet not, she's familiar... and then she ''piques'' his interest. One day, his ''brotherly'' embrace lasts a little longer than usual... and business proceeds from there. Perhaps neither of you felt you were doing anything wrong- until some ''frontier'' was crossed. :'''George Boleyn''': (''shakes his head and smirks, turning away'') I refuse to answer this. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Did it begin ''before'' her marriage to the King- or afterwards? (''cut to Norris'') Brother George? ''That'' must have been a surprise- rivalry from ''that'' quarter. Though, the morality of you...''gentlemen'' astonishes me. :'''Henry Norris''':...I have no opinion on George. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''feigns surprise'') ''No'' opinion of ''incest?'' You take it so quietly I'm afraid it must be ''true''. :'''Henry Norris''': (''shrugs impatiently'') If I said it was, you'd only accuse me of trying to divert attention away from myself. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''chuckles'') You've known me too long, Harry. :'''Henry Norris''': (''contemptuously'') Oh, I've ''studied'' you. Studied ''Wolsey'' before you. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': That was politic of you- such a great servant of the State. :'''Henry Norris''': (''smirks'') And such a great ''traitor'' at the end. :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''stalking around him, coldly'') ''I'' remember a certain ''entertainment'' at court- do you remember? A play... in which the late Cardinal was set upon by ''demons'', and dragged down into Hell. :'''Henry Norris''': (''incredulous'') ...''That's'' why? It- it was was a ''play!'' It was a joke! You can't- you can't seriously- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': Life pays you out- don't you find? :'''Henry Norris''': ... But, Mark Smeaton... what has ''he'' done to you? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''shrugs, unconvincingly'') I just... don't like the way he ''looks'' at me. (''stares Norris down'') I need ''guilty'' men, Harry. So I ''found'' men who ''are'' guilty... though not necessarily as ''charged''. (''Cut to Weston's cell as Cromwell enters'') :'''Francis Weston''': Good morning. (''Cromwell stares at him impassively'') I'm not long married- I don't know if you know that. I have a son, Henry- :'''Thomas Cromwell''': You have debts to the tune of a thousand pounds. :'''Francis Weston''':... Why the devil bring that up? :'''Thomas Cromwell''': No one expects a young gallant like yourself to be ''thrifty''... but these debts are more than you can reasonably pay. So, your own extravagance gives people reason to think, "What expectations does young Weston have?" (''Weston frowns'') We know the Queen gave you money- and a thousand pounds is nothing to you, if you hoped to ''marry'' her after you'd contrived the King's ''death''. (''Weston remembers his foolish words to Anne and looks horrified'') :'''Francis Weston''':... I see how, in that way, when it's given as evidence... I've undone myself. (''pause'') I don't blame you, Cromwell. It's just...I thought I had another twenty years. (''bends his head and begins weeping quietly'') :'''Thomas Cromwell''':...Well, we know not the hour, do we, Francis? (''puts a comforting hand on Weston's shoulder'') ----- ''[Anne mounts the scaffold at her execution; Cromwell, his son Gregory and Francis Bryan watch from the crowd]'' :'''Anne Boleyn''': (''faintly, to the crowd'') Good Christian people, I am come hither to die. For according to the law, and by the law, I am judged to die... :'''Francis Bryan''': (''smirks, to Cromwell'') I can't hear her- you'd think she'd speak up for her last words, eh? (''Gregory glares at him'') :'''Anne Boleyn''': I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak anything of that role by which I am accused and condemned to die. But, I pray God save the King, and send him long to reign over you. For a gentler, nor more merciful prince was there never- and to me was he ever a gentle, a good and a sovereign Lord. And, if any person will meddle of my cause... I require them to judge best. (''Cromwell puts his hand on Gregory's arm'') And thus I take my leave of the world- and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me. The Lord have mercy on my soul, to God I commend my soul. ''[she kneels, and her tearful ladies remove her headdress, replace it with a white cap and blindfold her; she begins to cry quietly, whispering rapid prayers. The executioner removes his shoes and reveals his broadsword, to which the crowd gasps; Anne hears their reaction and tenses fearfully. A lock of her hair comes loose, and she shakily reaches up to fix it]'' :'''Thomas Cromwell''': (''quietly'') Put your arm down- ''put your arm down''. (''she finally does so; the barefoot executioner moves silently to her left'') :'''Executioner''': (''in French'') Bring me the sword! ''[Anne gasps and turns her head left; the executioner immediately moves to her right, raises the sword, and swings; the crowd gasps as the deed is done. An undertaker steps forward, but one of Anne's ladies blocks his way]'' :'''Handmaiden''': (''sharply'') We do ''not'' want men handling her. :'''Francis Bryan''': (''smirks'') It's a little late for ''that'', eh? (''Cromwell glares at him'') Right- I'm off to tell the Seymours it's done. == Cast == * [[w:Mark Rylance|Mark Rylance]] - Thomas Cromwell * [[w:Damian Lewis|Damian Lewis]] - King Henry VIII * [[w:Claire Foy|Claire Foy]] - Anne Boleyn * [[w:Bernard Hill|Bernard Hill]] - Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk * [[w:Anton Lesser|Anton Lesser]] - Thomas More * [[w:Mark Gatiss|Mark Gatiss]] - Stephen Gardiner * [[w:Jonathan Pryce|Jonathan Pryce]] - Cardinal Thomas Wolsey * [[w:Kate Phillips|Kate Phillips]] - Jane Seymour * [[w:Thomas Brodie-Sangster|Thomas Brodie-Sangster]] - Ralph Sadler * [[w:Mathieu Amalric|Mathieu Amalric]] - Eustace Chapuys * [[w:Joanne Whalley|Joanne Whalley]] - Catherine of Aragon * [[w:Tom Holland|Tom Holland]] - Gregory Cromwell == External links == {{wikipedia}} <!-- optional --> * {{imdb title|IMDB_ID_number|Show Title}} * [http://url-to-resource Site description] <!-- The official show website would be a good choice here. --> * [http://url-to-resource Site description 2] [[Category:BBC shows]] [[Category:UK TV shows]] heu3e33nasyygj9nr8oznluby4vw90e That '70s Show (season 3) 0 192065 3148005 2811689 2022-07-27T04:24:55Z Eaglestorm 16205 /* Eric's Panties [3.6] */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Season''' [[That '70s Show (season 1)|1]] [[That '70s Show (season 2)|2]] [[That '70s Show (season 3)|3]] [[That '70s Show (season 4)|4]] [[That '70s Show (season 5)|5]] [[That '70s Show (season 6)|6]] [[That '70s Show (season 7)|7]] [[That '70s Show (season 8)|8]] | [[That '70s Show|'''Main''']] ---- '''''[[w:That '70s Show|That '70s Show]]''''' (1998–2006) is an American television sitcom centered on the lives of a group of teenagers living in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin during the late 1970s. === ''Reefer Madness'' [3.1] === :'''Red:''' ''[After finding out about Hyde being on probation]'' Probation?

And it looks like we got a new office girl. What's your name, baby? :'''Donna''': ''[speaks to mic]'' Um, Donna. :'''Jerry''': Mmm. Well, Donna, you are hot. So I'm gonna call you... Hot Donna. :'''Donna''': Okay. :'''Jerry''': You got yourself a boyfriend, Hot Donna? :'''Donna''': ''[ignore Max' cutting gesture]''Um... no. :'''Jerry''': Mmm. That is good news, fellas. 'Cause Hot Donna is... hot! :'''Donna''': Uhm Max, why'd you make me say that? 'Cause I have a boyfriend. :'''Max''': Fine. You have a boyfriend. So does Elton John. :'''Donna''': No way! :'''Max''': Yeah! They're a fantastic couple. I love 'em. The point is... we're selling an image here... and an available Hot Donna is good for ratings. :'''Donna''': Oh. Well, what the hell. Eric won't have a problem with this. :''[Switch to Eric's basement]'' :'''Eric''': What the hell? I have a problem with this! === ''Donna's Panties'' [3.15] === :'''Kitty''': Oooh, look how cute you are. This is just like when you were five, and played make believe dinner. Only this time, it won't end by Donna sitting on Eric's face. ''[Awkward pause]'' OK. :''[Kitty and Red start leaving]'' :'''Red''': Kitty, that was bad. :'''Kitty''': I know, keep walking. :''[Kitty and Red finally leave]'' :'''Eric''': Oh, good, and I thought this was going to be awkward. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eric''': It's Donna's fault. OK? I didn't make her wear that big, goofy underwear. I'm sorry, but if you're hanging out with this crowd you gotta know that eventually your pants are gettin' pulled down. Am I right? :'''Fez''': I am so glad I did not pull down Caroline's pants. I mean, if she asked me to, I would. ...Because I respect her wishes. And also, I am so horny. :'''Hyde''': Forman, when I told you to be funny to give Donna panties...I meant it'd be funny to ''me''.

Until... :'''Fez''': What? :'''Kelso''': You know, the really, ''really'' bad thing that can happen to guys when they're with girls. :'''Fez''': Oh, did Mr. Cooper come in to buff the floor? :'''Kelso''': ...No. Okay. Let me put it this way: The buffer wouldn't buff. :'''Fez''': Poor Mr. Cooper. :'''Hyde''': No, Fez! I think what he's trying to say is... the rabbit wouldn't come out of the hat. :'''Eric''': The weasel wouldn't pop. :'''Hyde''': The alphabet soup never spelled, "Go". :'''Kelso''': OKAY! ALRIGHT, ENOUGH! :'''Eric''': Actually, not quite. There are a lot of Amish people, but they never raised a barn. :'''Hyde''': Forman, man, that was awesome! :'''Eric''': It just came to me. :'''Fez''': Oh, I get it. The barn is Kelso's pants! :'''Kelso''': Okay! You guys, this is not funny! This is like a nightmare! :'''Fez''': Yes Eric, stop teasing. Kelso, I want you to know that I feel bad for you.

X is a variable so until you define its parameter is the only possible answer is the variable or x if you prefer. :'''Red''': Is that right? :'''Kitty''': Sounds good. Will Michael's parents be home? :'''Eric''': Yes. :'''Red''': Are they as dumb as he is? :'''Eric''': I can't lie. Yes. Yes, they are. :'''Red''': Right answer. (to Kitty) That was a trick question. I know they're dumb. :'''Eric''': So, I can go? :'''Red''': You can go, but I'll be watching the news. And if anything gets vandalized, or explodes, or catches on fire, X is gonna equal me kicking your ass. === ''Kitty's Birthday (That's Today!?)''

Because we showed we have tremendous school spirit. ''[starts sobbing]'' Go Vikings! :'''Hyde''': School spirit is for losers, man. You're just, like, floating along on a conveyor belt of conformity. Pep rallies, extracurricular activities, washing your hair. It's all just a trap, man! :'''Eric''': Yeah, Fez. It's one thing to root for a football team, but to confuse the Point Place Vikings with a sense of personal identity? That's just...relaxing.

Like, you know, way, way...above average? :'''Hyde''': Well, you don't go into that line of work when you're below average. You just pray some hot, redheaded neighbor girl likes you for your personality. :'''Fez''': What are you talking about? Those men were ''completely'' average. In fact, I found the guy with the mustache downright puny. :'''Kelso''': See now, Fez, that's not honest. I mean, we all know you're small in the pants. What I'm saying is, from here on in, I'm only telling the truth. In fact, I'm gonna come clean to Jackie about everything! :'''Fez''': Fine. You want honesty? I'll give you honesty. We are ''all'' small in the pants! :'''Hyde''': Kelso...this might be your best idea ever. You know what? You should make a list of all the lies you've ever told to Jackie. And I'll help you. So all's I really want is for you to be happy. :'''Eric''': You guys, honestly. You don't think Donna's, you know...bored, right? 'Cause those guys in the movie, they didn't do the same move twice. And I've done the same move, like...always. :'''Kelso''': I'll bet they go to a special school or something. I mean, they're like doctors at doing it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Kitty and her sister, Paula, patch their differences]'' :'''Paula Sigurdson''': Kitty, would you like a makeover? :'''Kitty''': Oh, I really would. :'''Paula''': Okay! :'''Kitty''': ''[apprehensive]'' I wouldn't look like a whore, would I? === ''Holy Craps!'' [3.20] === :''[Kitty's not happy that Red, Eric, Hyde and Kelso joined the church fundraiser and rigged all the games]'' :'''Kitty''': Oh wonderful, I started out in God's magic circle and ended up in Satan's evil square.

The wife and I are taking out a second mortgage on the house. ...Well, that's not the funny part, 'cause we're pretty much destitute. :'''Red''': It's a little bit funny, Bob. :'''Bob''': Anyways, I'm looking at the deed to the property, and the map shows that I own a couple feet of your driveway, and a little bit of your garage. :'''Red''': How'd you like to own a little bit of my foot in your ass? :'''Bob''': I wouldn't to be quite honest. :'''Red''': It's free! === ''Eric's Drunken Tattoo'' [3.22] === :'''Donna''': Take off your pants. :'''Eric''': All right! :'''Donna''': No! So I can see your tattoo! :'''Eric''': I knew that. I think you're really gonna like it. Just don't be mad if it says... "Debbie." ''[pulls down his pants and shows his tattoo]'' :'''Donna''': Woodstock. :'''Eric''': It says "Woodstock"? :'''Donna''': No, it's a picture of Snoopy's friend Woodstock!

The series, staring [[Jude Law]] and [[w:Diane Keaton|Diane Keaton]], follows the papacy of Pius XIII, born Lenny Belardo, which shows himself as a controversial pope and absolutely unkeen to be controlled. == Season 1 == ===Episode 1=== : '''Pope Pius XIII''': What have we forgotten? We have forgotten God! You! You have forgotten God! I want to be very clear with you. You have to be closer to God than to each other. I am closer to God than I am to you. You need to know I will never be close to you, because everyone is alone before God. I have nothing to say to those who have even the slightest doubt about God. All I can do is remind them of my scorn and their wretchedness. I don’t have to prove that God exists. It is up to you to prove that he doesn’t. Are you capable of proving that God does not exist? If you aren’t able to prove it that means God does exist. God exists. And he isn’t interested in us until we become interested in him—in him exclusively. You understand what I’m saying? Exclusively! Twenty-four hours a day your hearts and minds filled only with God, there’s no room for anything else, no room for free will, no room for liberty, no room for emancipation. “Free yourself from God,” I’ve heard people say, “liberate yourself from God.” But the pain of liberation is unbearable, sharp enough to kill. Without God, you’re as good as dead: dead, abandoned strays wandering the streets. ===Episode 8=== :'''Pope Pius XIII''': We are all guilty; we are all guilty of war and death. Always. In the same way, we can all be guilty of peace. Always. I ask this of you on bended knee: '''I'm ready to die for you, if only you will become guilty of peace. I always say to the children who write me from all over the world: "Think about all the things you like. That is God." Children like all sorts of things, but none of them has ever written that what they like is war.''' Now look at whoever is next to you. Look at them with eyes of joy and remember what St. Augustine said: "If you want to see God, you have the means to do it. God is love. " I, on the other hand, won't speak to you about God until there is peace. Because God is peace. And peace is God. Give me peace, and I'll give you God. You don't know how wonderful peace is. You have no idea how disconcerting peace can be. But I know. Because I saw it when I was eight years old on the banks of a river in Colorado, peace. === Episode 9 === :'''Lenny Belardo''': What is more beautiful, my love? Love lost or love found? Don’t laugh at me, my love. I know it, I’m awkward and naïve, when it comes to love and I ask questions straight out of a pop song. This doubt overwhelms me and undermines me, my love. To find or to lose? All around me, people don’t stop yearning. Did they lose or did they find? I can’t say. An orphan has no way of knowing. An orphan lacks a first love. The love for his mama and papa. That’s the source of his awkwardness, his naïveté. You said to me, on that deserted beach in California: “You can touch my legs”. But I didn’t do it. There, my love, is love lost.<br>That’s why I never stop wondering since: where you’ve been? And where you are now? And you, shining gleam of my misspend youth, did you lose or did you find? I don’t know. And I will never know. I can’t even remember your name, my love. And I don’t have the answer. But this is how I like to imagine it, the answer. In the end, my love, we have no choice. We have to find. == Cast == * [[Jude Law]] - Pope Pius XIII (born Lenny Belardo) * [[w:Diane Keaton|Diane Keaton]] - Sister Mary * [[w:Silvio Orlando|Silvio Orlando]] - Cardinal Angelo Voiello * [[w:Javier Cámara|Javier Cámara]] - Monsignor Bernardo Gutierrez * [[w:Scott Shepherd (actor)|Scott Shepherd]] - Cardinal Andrew Dussolier * [[w:Cécile de France|Cécile de France]] - Sofia * [[w:Ludivine Sagnier|Ludivine Sagnier]] - Esther * [[w:Toni Bertorelli|Toni Bertorelli]] - Cardinal Caltanissetta * [[James Cromwell]] - Cardinal Michael Spencer == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|3655448|The Young Pope}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Young Pope, The}} [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:Italian TV shows]] [[Category:Drama TV shows]] [[Category:HBO shows]] 1racsj24gdlzgam2mchsuon83d1aqf8 Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 2) 0 195625 3147449 3119079 2022-07-26T15:06:15Z 2600:1702:F40:34E0:6997:8E8E:EDA0:DCC1 /* The Guru */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 1)|1]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 2) |2]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3)|3]] | [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Main]] | ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' ([[The Legend of Korra (season 1)|1]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 2)|2]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 3)|3]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 4)|4]]) ---- The following is a list of quotes from the second season ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. ===The Avatar State=== :'''Captain''': Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not allow us to bring the ship into port before nightfall. :'''Azula''': I'm sorry, Captain, but I do not know much about the tides. Can you explain something to me? :'''Captain''': Of course, Your Highness. :'''Azula''': Do the ''tides'' command this ship? :'''Captain''': Um... I'm afraid I don't understand. :'''Azula''': You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. ''Do'' the tides command this ship? :'''Captain''': ...No, Princess. :'''Azula''': And, if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore? :'''Captain''': ''[nervously]''... No, Princess. :'''Azula''': Well, then maybe you should worry less about the tides, who've already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about ''me'', who's still mulling it over. :'''Captain''': I'll put us in. <hr width="50%"/> :''[General Fong and his men are attacking Aang in attempt to force him into the Avatar State. Katara attacks some of the Earthbenders with her waterbending]'' :'''Fong''': (''to Aang'') Maybe ''you'' can avoid me... but ''she'' can't. :''[Katara launches a water attack at Fong, but he deflects it with earth and causes her to sink into the ground up to her knees]'' :'''Katara''': Aah! I can't move!? :'''Aang''': (''angry and frightened'') Don't hurt her! :''[He airbends at Fong, who deflects it]'' :'''Sokka''': Katara, no!? :''[He tries to help her, but Fong uses earthbending to knocks him off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Aang''': (''grabs Fong's arm'') Stop this! You have to let her go! :'''Fong''': You could ''save'' her if you were in the Avatar State! :'''Aang''': (''tearfully'') I'm trying!? I'm ''trying!?'' :'''Katara''': Aang, I'm sinking!? :''[She sinks up to her waist]'' :'''Fong''': I don't see any glowing! (''he sinks Katara up to her neck'') :'''Katara''': Aah!! Please!? :'''Aang''': You don't have to do this!? :'''Fong''': Apparently... I ''do''. ''[He closes his fist, and Katara is buried completely; Aang leaps to pull her out, but is too late. He turns towards Fong, his face full of rage and his tattoos and eyes glowing, indicating that he has entered the Avatar State]'' :'''Fong''': It worked! It worked! :''[His expression turns to fear as a massive cyclone of wind begins to form around Aang]'' ===The Cave of Two Lovers=== :'''Iroh''': Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea? :'''Zuko''': You didn't! :'''Iroh''': I did. ''[Iroh turns around to reveal his red, swollen face which he is scratching]'' And it wasn't. :'''Zuko''': Yah! :'''Iroh''': When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing. But look what I found! These are bacui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or macahoni berries that cause blindness. :'''Zuko''': We're not taking any more chances with these plants! We need to get help. :'''Iroh''': But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation. :'''Zuko''': If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed. :'''Iroh''': But if the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula. :''[Both look at one another and nod]'' :'''Zuko''': Earth Kingdom it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katara''': I have a crazy idea... :'''Aang''': What? :'''Katara''': Never mind. It's too crazy. :'''Aang''': Katara, what is it? :'''Katara''': ''(looking away)'' I was thinking... the curse says we'll be trapped in here forever unless we trust in love. :'''Aang''': Right. :'''Katara''': And here it says "love is brightest in the dark" and...has a picture of them kissing... :'''Aang''': ''(clueless)'' Where are you going with this? :'''Katara''': Well...what if we kissed? :'''Aang''': ''(shocked)'' Us kissing?! :'''Katara''': See? It was a crazy idea. :'''Aang''': Us...''(dreamily)'' kissing. :'''Katara''': ''(laughing)'' Us, kissing. What was I thinking? Can you imagine that? :'''Aang''': Yeah.''(laughs)'' I definitely wouldn't want to kiss you. :'''Katara''': ''(slightly hurt)'' Well, I didn't realize it was such a horrible option! Sorry I suggested it! :'''Aang''': No, I mean, if it was a choice between kissing you and dying- :'''Katara''': ''(turning away from him)''Ugh! :'''Aang''': What?! I'm saying I'd rather kiss you than die! That's a compliment! :'''Katara''': Well, I'm not sure which I'd rather do! ''(walks away)'' :'''Aang''': ''(sadly)'' What is wrong with me? ===Return to Omashu=== :'''Sokka''': ''[scared]'' ''AAAAHH!! YOU WON'T LET GO!! HELP!!'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[The little baby begins teething on Sokka's boomerang. Sokka takes it away.]'' :'''Sokka''': No! Bad Fire Nation baby! ''[The baby starts crying. Katara hits Sokka in the head.]'' OW!! :'''Katara''': Sokka, don't do that! :'''Sokka''': Oh, alright. ''[He gives his boomerang back to the baby to teeth on it. Katara hugs him from behind.]'' :'''Katara''': ''[baby voice]'' Oooh, you're so cute. Mmmm... ''[cut to resistance leader Yung observing the baby.]'' :'''Yung''': Sure, he's cute now... but when he's older, he'll join the Fire Nation army. You won't think he's so cute then. He'll be a killer. :'''Katara''': ''[picks up the baby to Yung]'' Does ''that'' look like the face of a killer to you? <hr width="50%"/> :''[after escaping from Azula, Aang confronts King Bumi inside a metal coffin about why he surrendered]'' :'''Aang''': I don't understand. Why didn't you free yourself? Why did you surrender when Omashu was invaded? What's the matter with you, Bumi?! :'''King Bumi''': ''[calmly]'' Listen to me, Aang. There are options in fighting called jing. It's a choice of how you direct your energy. :'''Aang''': I know! ''[counts with two fingers]'' There's positive jing when you're attacking, and negative jing when you're retreating. :'''King Bumi''': And neutral jing, when you do nothing! :'''Aang''': ''[suddenly surprised]'' There are ''three'' jings? :'''King Bumi''': Well, technically there are eighty-five, but let's just focus on the third. Neutral jing is the key to earthbending. It involves listening and waiting for the right moment to strike. :'''Aang''': That's why you surrendered, isn't it? :'''King Bumi''': Yes, and it's why I can't leave now. ''[Aang sadly turns around, feeling disappointed]'' :'''Aang''': I guess I need to find someone else to teach me earthbending. :'''King Bumi''': Your teacher will be someone who has mastered neutral jing. You need to find someone who ''waits and listens'' before striking. ''[Momo lands on Aang's shoulders]'' :'''Aang''': ''[happily]'' Hey, Momo! :'''King Bumi''': Momo's mastered a few jings himself! ''[Momo screeches loudly at Bumi]'' Goodbye, Aang. I'll see you when the time is right. ===The Swamp=== :'''Katara''': Sokka, you've got an elbow leech! :'''Sokka''': Where?! Where?! :'''Katara''': Where do you think? :''[He rips the leech off his elbow.]'' :'''Sokka''': WHY DO THINGS KEEP ATTACHING TO ME?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Huu''': ''[about the great banyan tree]'' See, this whole swamp is actually just one tree spread out over miles. Branches spread and sink, take root, and spread some more... One big living organism, just like the entire world. :'''Aang''': I get how the tree is one big thing, but the whole world? :'''Huu''': Sure. You think you're any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We are all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree. :'''Katara''': But what did our visions mean? :'''Huu''': In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to 'em. [[Time]] is an [[illusion]], and so is [[death]]. :'''Aang''': But what about my vision? It was someone I had never met. :'''Huu''': You're the Avatar. You tell me. :'''Aang''': ''[contemplates]'' Time is an illusion... So, it's someone I ''will'' meet. ===Avatar Day=== :'''Zuko''': There is no honor for me without the Avatar. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, even if you did capture the Avatar, I'm not so sure it would solve our problems. Not now. :'''Zuko''': Then there is no hope at all. :'''Iroh''': No, Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give ''yourself''. That is the meaning of inner strength. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aang''': I said I would face justice, so I will. ''(spins Wheel of Punishment)'' :'''Spectator 1''': ''(rooting)'' Come on, torture machine! :'''Old Man''': Eaten by bears! :'''Spectator 2''': Razor pit! :'''Katara''': ''(worried)'' Community service! Please land on community service. ===The Blind Bandit=== :'''The Boulder''': The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl. :'''[[w:Toph|Toph]]''': Sounds to me like you're ''scared'', Boulder! :'''The Boulder''': ...The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche! :'''Toph''': Whenever you're ready, the Pebble! ''(laughs evil-like)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': (Aang has just entered the ring) Do people really want to see ''two'' little girls fighting out here? :'''Aang''': ''(to Toph)'' I don't really want to fight you. I want to talk to you. :'''Sokka''': BOO! NO TALKING! :'''Katara''': Don't boo at him! ''[hits Sokka on the arm]'' ===Zuko Alone=== :'''Soldier 1''': Hey! Did you throw that egg? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': Did you see who did it? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': That egg had to've come from somewhere. :'''Zuko''': Maybe a chicken flew over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Young Zuko''': Stupid turtle duck? Why you do that?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ozai''': Father, you must have realized as I have that with Lu Ten gone, Iroh's bloodline has ended. After his son's death, my brother abandoned the siege at Ba Sing Se, and who knows when he'll return home. But I am here, Father, and my children are alive. :'''Azulon''': Say what it is you want! :'''Ozai''': Father, revoke Iroh's birthright. I am your humble servant, here to serve you and our nation. Use me. :'''Azulon''': You dare suggest I betray Iroh, my first born, directly after the demise of his only beloved son?! I think that Iroh has suffered enough. But you, your punishment has scarcely begun! ===The Chase=== ''[Azula has tracked Aang down to a deserted town]'' :'''Azula''': Do you ''really'' want to fight me? ''[Zuko suddenly arrives, jumping off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Zuko''': Yes, I really do. :'''Azula''': I was wondering when you'd show up, Zuzu. :'''Aang''': ''[stifles a laugh]'' "Zuzu?" :'''Zuko''': ''[assumes a fighting stance]'' Back off, Azula. He's mine! :'''Azula''': ''[Confidently]''... I'm not going ''anywhere.'' ''[She assumes a fighting stance as well]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Toph and Iroh begin to share a conversation over tea on a rocky hilltop]'' :'''Toph''': People see me and think I'm weak. They want to take care of me, but I can take care of myself, by myself. :'''Iroh''': You sound like my nephew, always thinking you need to do things on your own, without anyone's support. There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you. :'''Toph''': ''[laughs]'' So where is your nephew? :'''Iroh''': I've been tracking him, actually. :'''Toph''': Is he lost? :'''Iroh''': ''[looks away; slightly sad]'' Yes, a little bit. ''[cuts to shot of the rocky ledge where the two sit, the mountain region in the background]'' His life has recently changed and he's going through very difficult times. He's trying to figure out who he is and he went away. :'''Toph''': So now you're following him. :'''Iroh''': I know he doesn't want me around him right now, but if he needs me, I'll be there. :'''Toph''': Your nephew is very lucky, even if he doesn't know it. ''[gets up to leave]'' Thank you. :'''Iroh''': My pleasure. Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights. :'''Toph''': ''[happily]'' No, thank you for what you said. It helped me. :'''Iroh''': I'm glad. ''[Toph rises to leave, but turns around briefly]'' :'''Toph''': Oh, and about your nephew... Maybe you should tell him that you need him, too. ===Bitter Work=== :''[Sokka is buried in the earth and a hippo comes running with an apple in its mouth]'' :'''Sokka''': Hey! Looks like my karma is already paying off. :''[Hippo rolls the apple but not within range of Sokka's hands or mouth]'' :'''Sokka''' [Elated]: That's okay. I got it. :''[Sokka struggles to move hands but boomerang instead falls out off his bag]'' :'''Sokka''' [after 10 second pause and annoyed]: Now come back, boomerang. <hr width="50%"> :'''Iroh''': ''[drawing the Fire Nation symbol in the sand before Zuko]'' Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want. ''[draws the Earth Kingdom symbol]'' Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. ''[draws the Air Nomads symbol]'' Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom. Also, they apparently had pretty good senses of ''humor''! ''[grins]'' :''[Zuko stares blankly at Iroh]'' :'''Iroh''': ''[continuing, drawing the Water Tribe symbol]'' Water is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together though anything. :'''Zuko''': Why are you telling me these things? :'''Iroh''': It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole. :'''Zuko''': All this "Four Elements" talk is sounding like Avatar stuff. :'''Iroh''': It is the combination of the four elements within one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But, it can make you more powerful, too. (''prods him in the chest with his staff'') You see, the technique I am about to teach you is one I learned by studying the Waterbenders. ===The Library=== :'''Wan Shi Tong''': ''(leers to a nervous Sokka)'' So, who are ''you'' trying to destroy? :'''Sokka''': What? No! No destroying, we're not into that. :'''Wan Shi Tong''': Then why are you here? :'''Sokka''': ''(hesitates)'' Umm... Knowledge for knowledge's sake? :''(pause)'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': If you're going to lie to an all-knowing spirit being, you should at least put some effort into it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Wan Shi Tong confronts Team Avatar and Professor Zei in the planetarium for obtaining knowledge on the next solar eclipse]'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You betrayed my trust. From the beginning, you intended to misuse this knowledge for evil purposes. :'''Sokka''': You don't understand. If anyone's evil, it's the Fire Nation! You saw what they did to your library. They're destructive and dangerous. We need this information! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You think you're the first person to believe their war was justified? Countless others before you have come here, seeking weapons, weaknesses or battle strategies! :'''Aang''': We had no choice. Please, we're just desperate to protect the people we love! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': And now ''I'm'' going to protect what ''I'' love. :''(Wan Shi Tong spreads his wings; the library starts to shake and flood with sand)'' :'''Aang''': What are you doing?! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm taking my knowledge back. No one will ever abuse it again! :'''Katara''': He's sinking the building! We've gotta get out of here! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm afraid I can't allow that. You already know too much. (''shrieks and chases them'') ===The Desert=== :''(Both Sokka and Momo are hallucinating after drinking cactus juice)'' :'''Sokka''': Drink cactus juice, it'll quench ya. Nothing's quenchier. It's the quenchiest! :'''Katara''': ''[throws away the piece of cactus]'' Okay, I think you had enough. :'''Sokka''': Who lit Toph on fire? ''[Momo spins in a circle in the air and dive bombs to the ground.]'' :'''Toph''': Can I get some of that cactus? :'''Katara''': I don’t think that’s a good idea. Come on, we need to find Aang. ''[She and Toph walk on; when Sokka doesn't follow, Katara grabs him and drags him along with them]'' :'''Sokka''': How did we get out here in the middle of the ocean? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Aang confronts a group of sandbenders, including the ones who stole Appa]'' :'''Aang''': You tell me where he is, ''now''! :''[He obliterates one of the sand-sailers with airbending]'' :'''Sha-Mo''': ''[sternly, to his son]'' What did you ''do''?! :'''Gashiun''': I-It wasn't me! :'''Toph''': You said to put a muzzle on him! :'''Aang''': ''[enraged]'' You ''muzzled'' Appa?! :''[Aang enters the Avatar State; he smashes another of the sand-sailers]'' :'''Gashiun''': I'm sorry! I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar! :'''Aang''': ''[shouts with the voices of past Avatars]'' '''''TELL ME WHERE APPA IS!!''''' :'''Gashiun''': I-I traded him, to some merchants! He's... probably in Ba Sing Se by now. They were gonna sell him there. ''[Aang's glowing eyes narrow]'' Please, we'll escort you out of the desert! We'll help however we can! :''[A cyclone erupts around Aang, obscuring everything. Sokka grabs Toph's arm]'' :'''Sokka''': ''[to the sandbenders]'' Just get out of here! ''RUN!'' :''[Everyone flees from Aang, except Katara. As he rises off the ground, she approaches him and grabs his arm; he stares down at her, his face contorted with rage and grief. Katara pulls him back down to the ground. As the winds begin to die down, Sokka sees tears running from Aang's eyes as Katara hugs him]'' ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 1: The Serpent's Pass=== :''[Suki asks Sokka why he is being overprotective of her]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so hard to lose someone you care about. Something happened at the North Pole and I couldn't protect someone. I don't want anything like that to ever happen again. :'''Suki''': I lost someone I cared about. He didn't die. He just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave and funny... :'''Sokka''': ''(suspiciously)'' Who is this guy? Is he taller than me? :'''Suki''': ''(deadpan)'' No. He's about your height. :'''Sokka''': Is he better-looking? :'''Suki''': It ''is'' you, stupid! :'''Sokka''': Oh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Suki, you know about giant sea monsters, do something! :'''Suki''': Just because I live near the Unagi doesn't mean I'm an expert. :'''Sokka''': ''[picks up Momo and offers it to the Sea Serpent]'' Oh great and powerful sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank You. :'''Katara''': Sokka! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 2: The Drill=== :'''Mai''': She [Azula] can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I'm not going into that wall sludge juice. ''(Shudders, then closes hatch Katara, Sokka, and Ty Lee jumped into)'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Toph takes the group under ground]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so dark down here. I can't see a thing. :'''Toph''': (''Sarcastically'') Oh no, what a nightmare! :'''Sokka''': Sorry. ===City of Walls and Secrets=== <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': Well, no offense to you simple country folk, but a real society crowd would spot you from a mile away. You've got no manners. :'''Katara''': Excuse me? I've got no manners? You're not exactly lady fancy fingers. :'''Toph''': ''[burps]'' I learned proper society behavior and chose to leave it. You never learned anything. And frankly, it's a little too late. :'''Sokka''': Ah-Ha, but you learned it. You could teach us. :'''Aang''': Yeah, I'm mastering every element. How hard could manners be? ''[grabs a nearby curtain and drapes it around himself like a robe, and begins talking in a very sophisticated manner]'' Good evening, Mr. Sokka Watertribe. Ms. Katara Watertribe. Lord Momo of the Momo Dynasty, your Momo-ness. :'''Sokka''': ''[in a fancy accent]'' Avatar Aang how you ''do'' go on! :''[Both of them take turns bowing then try to bow at the same time, but they knock each other's foreheads' together and fall backward]'' :'''Toph''': Katara might be able to pull it off, but you two would be lucky to pass as busboys. :'''Sokka''': But I feel so fancy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Why won't you let us talk to the King?! We have information that could ''defeat'' the Fire Nation! :'''Long Feng''': The Earth King has no time to get involved in political squabbles and the day-to-day minutia of military activities. :'''Aang''': This could be the most important thing he's ever heard! :'''Long Feng''': What's ''most'' important to His Royal majesty is maintaining the ''cultural'' heritage of Ba Sing Se. All his duties relate to issuing decrees on such matters. It's ''my'' job to oversee the rest of the city's resources... including the military. :'''Katara''': So the King is just a figurehead. :'''Toph''': He's your puppet! :'''Long Feng''': Oh, no, no! His majesty is an icon, a ''god'' to his people. He can't sully his hands with the hourly changes of an endless war. :'''Sokka''': But we found out about a solar eclipse that will leave the Fire Nation defenseless! You could lead an invasion- :'''Long Feng''': ''[stands up] Enough.'' I don't want to hear your ridiculous plan. It is the strict policy of Ba Sing Se, that the war ''not'' be mentioned inside these walls. [As he speaks, the Dai Li are shown taking Jet to a secret facility]'' Constant news of an escalating war will throw the citizens of Ba Sing Se into a state of panic. :'''Jet''': ''[as the Dai Li strapped him into a chair]'' You have to believe me!? They're Firebenders!? They won't stop until they win the war!? :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' Calm down. You're safe now. ''[a light begins rotating in front of Jet at eye level]'' :'''Long Feng''': Our economy would be ruined. Our peaceful way of life, our traditions, would disappear. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' There's no war in Ba Sing Se. :'''Jet''': What are you talking about?! Where do you think all the refugees come from? You can't hide it?! ''[The Dai Li gag him as the light continues to rotate]'' :'''Long Feng''': In silencing talk of conflict, Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia... the last one on Earth. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet, muffled]'' There is no war within the walls. Here, we are safe. Here, we are free. :'''Katara''': You can't keep the truth from all these people. They have to know! :'''Aang''': I'll tell them! I'll make sure everyone knows :'''Long Feng''': Until now, you've been treated as our honored guest. But from now on, you will be watched by Dai Li agents. If you mention the war to ''anyone'', you will be expelled from the city. I understand you've been looking for your bison? It would be quite a ''shame'' if you were unable to complete your quest. ''[Aang glares at him]'' Now, Joo Dee will show you home. ''[A different young woman enters, with an equally blank smile on her face, startling Team Avatar]'' :'''Young Woman''': Come with me, please. :'''Katara''': What happened to Joo Dee? :'''Young Woman''': ''I'm'' Joo Dee. I'll be your host as long as you're in our wonderful city. ===The Tales of Ba Sing Se=== :''(Katara opens a door and sees Toph lying facedown on the floor, asleep)'' :'''Katara''': Toph, aren't you gonna get ready for the day? :''(Toph wakes up, hair frazzled, and spits)'' :'''Toph''': I'm ready. :'''Katara''': Aren't you gonna clean up? You've got a little dirt on your....everywhere actually. :'''Toph''': You call it dirt. I call it a healthy coating of earth. <hr width="50%"/> :''(A mugger approaches Iroh in an alley)'' :'''Mugger''': You! Hand over your money! :''(Iroh looks down and notices the mugger's unstable stance)'' :'''Iroh''': What are you doing? :'''Mugger''': I'm mugging you! :'''Iroh''': With that stance?? :'''Mugger''': Wha… What are you talking about? Just give me your money, old man! :'''Iroh''': With a poor stance you are unbalanced and can be easily knocked over. :''(Iroh knocks mugger down and then helps him up)'' :'''Iroh''': With a solid stance you are a much more serious threat! ===Appa's Lost Days=== :''[Azula is talking to the Kyoshi warriors, who fight with fans]'' :'''Azula''': Who are you? The Avatar's ''fangirls''? :''[a short pause]'' :'''Ty Lee''': ...Oh! I get it! Good one Azula. <hr width="50%"/> ''[Mai pins a Kyoshi warrior to a tree with her shurikens]'' :'''Mai''': You're so colorful, it's making me ''nauseous''. (''launches darts at another warrior'') :''[Ty Lee unleashes a flurry of jabs into the back of a Kyoshi warrior, dropping her, and unleashes a final taunt]'' :'''Ty Lee''': You are ''not'' prettier than we are. ===Lake Laogai=== :'''Sokka''': Hey, I thought designing the "Lost Appa" poster was my job! I've been working all day on my Appa! :(''shows Katara and Aang his picture. Katara is visibly trying not to laugh.''') :'''Aang''': Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's ''head''. :'''Sokka''': This ''is'' his head! :'''Katara''': Why are ''feet'' coming out of it? :'''Sokka''': Those are his horns! I haven't seen him in a while, okay? :'''Toph''': It looks just like him to me. :'''Sokka''': Thank you, I worked really--[''breaks off, remembering that Toph is blind'']...Why do you feel the need to do that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': (looking at the tied-up Appa) Uncle? :'''Iroh''': (walks into the cell) So, the Blue Spirit? I wonder who could be behind that mask? :'''Zuko''': What are you doing here? :'''Iroh''': I was just about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar's bison? Keep it locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of ''tea'' for him?! :'''Zuko''': First I have to get it out of here. :'''Iroh''': And then ''what''?! You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole! You had him, and then you had nowhere to go! :'''Zuko''': I would've figured something out. :'''Iroh''': No! If his friends hadn't found you, you would have frozen to death! :'''Zuko''': ''(very angry)'' I know my own destiny, Uncle. :'''Iroh''': Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you? :'''Zuko''': Stop it, Uncle! I have to do this! :'''Iroh''': I'm ''begging'' you, Prince Zuko! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and What do ''you'' want? :'''Zuko''': ''(Yells in frustration and throws his Blue Spirit mask and swords down.)'' ===The Earth King=== :'''Sokka''': Looks like Long Feng is long gone! (''laughs'') Oh, I've been waiting to use that one! <hr width="50%"> :'''Toph''': I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see! ===The Guru=== <hr width80> :'''Guru Pathik''': The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. :'''Aang''': Like the four nations. :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. :'''Aang''': We're all connected. Everything is connected. <hr width80> :'''Aang''': This is the last chakra, isn't it? :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions. :'''Aang''': Let's do this! :'''Guru Pathik''': The thought chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. :''(Aang imagines various images and memories of Katara)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river, forgotten. :'''Aang''': ''(snapping out of his meditation)'' What? Why would I let go of Katara? I...I-I love her! :'''Guru Pathik''': Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe. :'''Aang''': Why would I choose ''cosmic energy'' over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her? Three chakras ago, that was a good thing! :'''Guru Pathik''': You ''must'' learn to let go. <hr width80> :'''Azula''': Oh, don't worry, let should to be now. ''[Ty Lee attacks Katara and grunts]'' So, Zuzu in the city too, I think it's times to the family reunion. :'''Aang''': I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara. :'''Guru Pathik''': Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must open ''all'' the chakras. Surrender yourself. :'''Aang''': Okay, I'll try. :'''Guru Pathik''': Now think of your attachments. And let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. :''(He meditates again, beginning to let Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glowing version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains and begins to run towards her.) :'''Karata''': '''LET ME GO!!''' :''(His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth)'' :'''Aang''': (shocked) Katara's in danger! I have to go! :''(Aang gets up and begins to run off)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': No Aang! By choosing attachment you have this locked the chakra! If you leave now, you won't be able to enter the Avatar State ''at all''!? :'''Long Feng''': ''[disembodied] Enough, I don't want to your ridicolous plan.'' :''(After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off)'' <hr width80> :'''Yu''': It's another one her tricks!? :'''Xin Fu''': There's in a giant hole in a box. How is that trick?! :'''Toph''': It's not! It's a real deal! <hr width80> :'''Long Feng''': But you're not a Kyoshi Warrior, aren't you. Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. ===The Crossroads of Destiny=== :'''Aang''': Uh... :'''Guru''': If you leave now, you won't be able enter the Avatar state at all!? :'''Sokka''': Aang, are you okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Long Feng''': Now comes the part where I double cross you. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation princess! ''(The Dai Li don't move)'' I said arrest her! What is wrong with you?! :'''Azula''': It's because they haven't made up their minds. They're waiting to see how this is going to end. :'''Long Feng''': What are you talking about? :'''Azula''': I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing, so you've had to struggle, and connive, and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne, and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know. ''(She sits on the throne)'' Well? ''[She and Long Feng lock eyes; after a long moment, Long Feng kneels before her]'' :'''Long Feng''': ... You've beaten me at my own game. :'''Azula''': Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': Uncle, I don't understand. What are you doing with the Avatar? :'''Aang''': ''[glares at him]'' Saving you, that's what. :''[Zuko starts to advance on him, but Iroh holds him back]'' :'''Iroh''': It's time we talked. ''[to Aang]'' Go help your other friends. We'll catch up with you. :''[Aang and Katara leave]'' :'''Zuko''': ''[not looking Iroh directly in the eye]'' Why, Uncle? :'''Iroh''': ''[seriously]'' You're not the man you used to be, Zuko. You are stronger, and wiser, and freer than you have ''ever'' been. And now you've come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose ''good''. :''[Iroh is suddenly immobilized by crystals, startling Zuko]'' :'''Azula''': ''[enters followed by two Dai Li Agents]'' I expected this kind of treachery from Uncle. But Zuko, ''Prince'' Zuko. You're a lot of things, but you aren't a traitor, are you? :'''Zuko''': Release him immediately! :'''Azula''':''[slyly]'' It's not too late for you, Zuko. You could still redeem yourself. :'''Iroh''': The kind of "redemption" she offers is not for you! :'''Azula''': ''[glares at him]'' Why don't you let ''him'' decide, Uncle? I need you, Zuko. I've plotted every move of this day, this glorious day in Fire Nation history, and the only way we win is ''together''. At the end of this day, you will have your honor back. You will have Father's love. You will have ''everything'' you want. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, I am begging you. Look into your heart and see what it is you truly want. :'''Azula''': You are free to choose. ''[she gestures for the Dai Li to leave, then pursues Aang and Katara, as Zuko considers his choice.]'' ==External links== [[Category:Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons]] eplhp40269o3kr3xv8hie6tfixqkig3 3147450 3147449 2022-07-26T15:08:59Z 2600:1702:F40:34E0:6997:8E8E:EDA0:DCC1 /* The Guru */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 1)|1]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 2) |2]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3)|3]] | [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Main]] | ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' ([[The Legend of Korra (season 1)|1]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 2)|2]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 3)|3]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 4)|4]]) ---- The following is a list of quotes from the second season ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. ===The Avatar State=== :'''Captain''': Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not allow us to bring the ship into port before nightfall. :'''Azula''': I'm sorry, Captain, but I do not know much about the tides. Can you explain something to me? :'''Captain''': Of course, Your Highness. :'''Azula''': Do the ''tides'' command this ship? :'''Captain''': Um... I'm afraid I don't understand. :'''Azula''': You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. ''Do'' the tides command this ship? :'''Captain''': ...No, Princess. :'''Azula''': And, if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore? :'''Captain''': ''[nervously]''... No, Princess. :'''Azula''': Well, then maybe you should worry less about the tides, who've already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about ''me'', who's still mulling it over. :'''Captain''': I'll put us in. <hr width="50%"/> :''[General Fong and his men are attacking Aang in attempt to force him into the Avatar State. Katara attacks some of the Earthbenders with her waterbending]'' :'''Fong''': (''to Aang'') Maybe ''you'' can avoid me... but ''she'' can't. :''[Katara launches a water attack at Fong, but he deflects it with earth and causes her to sink into the ground up to her knees]'' :'''Katara''': Aah! I can't move!? :'''Aang''': (''angry and frightened'') Don't hurt her! :''[He airbends at Fong, who deflects it]'' :'''Sokka''': Katara, no!? :''[He tries to help her, but Fong uses earthbending to knocks him off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Aang''': (''grabs Fong's arm'') Stop this! You have to let her go! :'''Fong''': You could ''save'' her if you were in the Avatar State! :'''Aang''': (''tearfully'') I'm trying!? I'm ''trying!?'' :'''Katara''': Aang, I'm sinking!? :''[She sinks up to her waist]'' :'''Fong''': I don't see any glowing! (''he sinks Katara up to her neck'') :'''Katara''': Aah!! Please!? :'''Aang''': You don't have to do this!? :'''Fong''': Apparently... I ''do''. ''[He closes his fist, and Katara is buried completely; Aang leaps to pull her out, but is too late. He turns towards Fong, his face full of rage and his tattoos and eyes glowing, indicating that he has entered the Avatar State]'' :'''Fong''': It worked! It worked! :''[His expression turns to fear as a massive cyclone of wind begins to form around Aang]'' ===The Cave of Two Lovers=== :'''Iroh''': Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea? :'''Zuko''': You didn't! :'''Iroh''': I did. ''[Iroh turns around to reveal his red, swollen face which he is scratching]'' And it wasn't. :'''Zuko''': Yah! :'''Iroh''': When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing. But look what I found! These are bacui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or macahoni berries that cause blindness. :'''Zuko''': We're not taking any more chances with these plants! We need to get help. :'''Iroh''': But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation. :'''Zuko''': If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed. :'''Iroh''': But if the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula. :''[Both look at one another and nod]'' :'''Zuko''': Earth Kingdom it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katara''': I have a crazy idea... :'''Aang''': What? :'''Katara''': Never mind. It's too crazy. :'''Aang''': Katara, what is it? :'''Katara''': ''(looking away)'' I was thinking... the curse says we'll be trapped in here forever unless we trust in love. :'''Aang''': Right. :'''Katara''': And here it says "love is brightest in the dark" and...has a picture of them kissing... :'''Aang''': ''(clueless)'' Where are you going with this? :'''Katara''': Well...what if we kissed? :'''Aang''': ''(shocked)'' Us kissing?! :'''Katara''': See? It was a crazy idea. :'''Aang''': Us...''(dreamily)'' kissing. :'''Katara''': ''(laughing)'' Us, kissing. What was I thinking? Can you imagine that? :'''Aang''': Yeah.''(laughs)'' I definitely wouldn't want to kiss you. :'''Katara''': ''(slightly hurt)'' Well, I didn't realize it was such a horrible option! Sorry I suggested it! :'''Aang''': No, I mean, if it was a choice between kissing you and dying- :'''Katara''': ''(turning away from him)''Ugh! :'''Aang''': What?! I'm saying I'd rather kiss you than die! That's a compliment! :'''Katara''': Well, I'm not sure which I'd rather do! ''(walks away)'' :'''Aang''': ''(sadly)'' What is wrong with me? ===Return to Omashu=== :'''Sokka''': ''[scared]'' ''AAAAHH!! YOU WON'T LET GO!! HELP!!'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[The little baby begins teething on Sokka's boomerang. Sokka takes it away.]'' :'''Sokka''': No! Bad Fire Nation baby! ''[The baby starts crying. Katara hits Sokka in the head.]'' OW!! :'''Katara''': Sokka, don't do that! :'''Sokka''': Oh, alright. ''[He gives his boomerang back to the baby to teeth on it. Katara hugs him from behind.]'' :'''Katara''': ''[baby voice]'' Oooh, you're so cute. Mmmm... ''[cut to resistance leader Yung observing the baby.]'' :'''Yung''': Sure, he's cute now... but when he's older, he'll join the Fire Nation army. You won't think he's so cute then. He'll be a killer. :'''Katara''': ''[picks up the baby to Yung]'' Does ''that'' look like the face of a killer to you? <hr width="50%"/> :''[after escaping from Azula, Aang confronts King Bumi inside a metal coffin about why he surrendered]'' :'''Aang''': I don't understand. Why didn't you free yourself? Why did you surrender when Omashu was invaded? What's the matter with you, Bumi?! :'''King Bumi''': ''[calmly]'' Listen to me, Aang. There are options in fighting called jing. It's a choice of how you direct your energy. :'''Aang''': I know! ''[counts with two fingers]'' There's positive jing when you're attacking, and negative jing when you're retreating. :'''King Bumi''': And neutral jing, when you do nothing! :'''Aang''': ''[suddenly surprised]'' There are ''three'' jings? :'''King Bumi''': Well, technically there are eighty-five, but let's just focus on the third. Neutral jing is the key to earthbending. It involves listening and waiting for the right moment to strike. :'''Aang''': That's why you surrendered, isn't it? :'''King Bumi''': Yes, and it's why I can't leave now. ''[Aang sadly turns around, feeling disappointed]'' :'''Aang''': I guess I need to find someone else to teach me earthbending. :'''King Bumi''': Your teacher will be someone who has mastered neutral jing. You need to find someone who ''waits and listens'' before striking. ''[Momo lands on Aang's shoulders]'' :'''Aang''': ''[happily]'' Hey, Momo! :'''King Bumi''': Momo's mastered a few jings himself! ''[Momo screeches loudly at Bumi]'' Goodbye, Aang. I'll see you when the time is right. ===The Swamp=== :'''Katara''': Sokka, you've got an elbow leech! :'''Sokka''': Where?! Where?! :'''Katara''': Where do you think? :''[He rips the leech off his elbow.]'' :'''Sokka''': WHY DO THINGS KEEP ATTACHING TO ME?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Huu''': ''[about the great banyan tree]'' See, this whole swamp is actually just one tree spread out over miles. Branches spread and sink, take root, and spread some more... One big living organism, just like the entire world. :'''Aang''': I get how the tree is one big thing, but the whole world? :'''Huu''': Sure. You think you're any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We are all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree. :'''Katara''': But what did our visions mean? :'''Huu''': In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to 'em. [[Time]] is an [[illusion]], and so is [[death]]. :'''Aang''': But what about my vision? It was someone I had never met. :'''Huu''': You're the Avatar. You tell me. :'''Aang''': ''[contemplates]'' Time is an illusion... So, it's someone I ''will'' meet. ===Avatar Day=== :'''Zuko''': There is no honor for me without the Avatar. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, even if you did capture the Avatar, I'm not so sure it would solve our problems. Not now. :'''Zuko''': Then there is no hope at all. :'''Iroh''': No, Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give ''yourself''. That is the meaning of inner strength. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aang''': I said I would face justice, so I will. ''(spins Wheel of Punishment)'' :'''Spectator 1''': ''(rooting)'' Come on, torture machine! :'''Old Man''': Eaten by bears! :'''Spectator 2''': Razor pit! :'''Katara''': ''(worried)'' Community service! Please land on community service. ===The Blind Bandit=== :'''The Boulder''': The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl. :'''[[w:Toph|Toph]]''': Sounds to me like you're ''scared'', Boulder! :'''The Boulder''': ...The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche! :'''Toph''': Whenever you're ready, the Pebble! ''(laughs evil-like)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': (Aang has just entered the ring) Do people really want to see ''two'' little girls fighting out here? :'''Aang''': ''(to Toph)'' I don't really want to fight you. I want to talk to you. :'''Sokka''': BOO! NO TALKING! :'''Katara''': Don't boo at him! ''[hits Sokka on the arm]'' ===Zuko Alone=== :'''Soldier 1''': Hey! Did you throw that egg? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': Did you see who did it? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': That egg had to've come from somewhere. :'''Zuko''': Maybe a chicken flew over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Young Zuko''': Stupid turtle duck? Why you do that?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ozai''': Father, you must have realized as I have that with Lu Ten gone, Iroh's bloodline has ended. After his son's death, my brother abandoned the siege at Ba Sing Se, and who knows when he'll return home. But I am here, Father, and my children are alive. :'''Azulon''': Say what it is you want! :'''Ozai''': Father, revoke Iroh's birthright. I am your humble servant, here to serve you and our nation. Use me. :'''Azulon''': You dare suggest I betray Iroh, my first born, directly after the demise of his only beloved son?! I think that Iroh has suffered enough. But you, your punishment has scarcely begun! ===The Chase=== ''[Azula has tracked Aang down to a deserted town]'' :'''Azula''': Do you ''really'' want to fight me? ''[Zuko suddenly arrives, jumping off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Zuko''': Yes, I really do. :'''Azula''': I was wondering when you'd show up, Zuzu. :'''Aang''': ''[stifles a laugh]'' "Zuzu?" :'''Zuko''': ''[assumes a fighting stance]'' Back off, Azula. He's mine! :'''Azula''': ''[Confidently]''... I'm not going ''anywhere.'' ''[She assumes a fighting stance as well]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Toph and Iroh begin to share a conversation over tea on a rocky hilltop]'' :'''Toph''': People see me and think I'm weak. They want to take care of me, but I can take care of myself, by myself. :'''Iroh''': You sound like my nephew, always thinking you need to do things on your own, without anyone's support. There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you. :'''Toph''': ''[laughs]'' So where is your nephew? :'''Iroh''': I've been tracking him, actually. :'''Toph''': Is he lost? :'''Iroh''': ''[looks away; slightly sad]'' Yes, a little bit. ''[cuts to shot of the rocky ledge where the two sit, the mountain region in the background]'' His life has recently changed and he's going through very difficult times. He's trying to figure out who he is and he went away. :'''Toph''': So now you're following him. :'''Iroh''': I know he doesn't want me around him right now, but if he needs me, I'll be there. :'''Toph''': Your nephew is very lucky, even if he doesn't know it. ''[gets up to leave]'' Thank you. :'''Iroh''': My pleasure. Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights. :'''Toph''': ''[happily]'' No, thank you for what you said. It helped me. :'''Iroh''': I'm glad. ''[Toph rises to leave, but turns around briefly]'' :'''Toph''': Oh, and about your nephew... Maybe you should tell him that you need him, too. ===Bitter Work=== :''[Sokka is buried in the earth and a hippo comes running with an apple in its mouth]'' :'''Sokka''': Hey! Looks like my karma is already paying off. :''[Hippo rolls the apple but not within range of Sokka's hands or mouth]'' :'''Sokka''' [Elated]: That's okay. I got it. :''[Sokka struggles to move hands but boomerang instead falls out off his bag]'' :'''Sokka''' [after 10 second pause and annoyed]: Now come back, boomerang. <hr width="50%"> :'''Iroh''': ''[drawing the Fire Nation symbol in the sand before Zuko]'' Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want. ''[draws the Earth Kingdom symbol]'' Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. ''[draws the Air Nomads symbol]'' Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom. Also, they apparently had pretty good senses of ''humor''! ''[grins]'' :''[Zuko stares blankly at Iroh]'' :'''Iroh''': ''[continuing, drawing the Water Tribe symbol]'' Water is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together though anything. :'''Zuko''': Why are you telling me these things? :'''Iroh''': It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole. :'''Zuko''': All this "Four Elements" talk is sounding like Avatar stuff. :'''Iroh''': It is the combination of the four elements within one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But, it can make you more powerful, too. (''prods him in the chest with his staff'') You see, the technique I am about to teach you is one I learned by studying the Waterbenders. ===The Library=== :'''Wan Shi Tong''': ''(leers to a nervous Sokka)'' So, who are ''you'' trying to destroy? :'''Sokka''': What? No! No destroying, we're not into that. :'''Wan Shi Tong''': Then why are you here? :'''Sokka''': ''(hesitates)'' Umm... Knowledge for knowledge's sake? :''(pause)'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': If you're going to lie to an all-knowing spirit being, you should at least put some effort into it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Wan Shi Tong confronts Team Avatar and Professor Zei in the planetarium for obtaining knowledge on the next solar eclipse]'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You betrayed my trust. From the beginning, you intended to misuse this knowledge for evil purposes. :'''Sokka''': You don't understand. If anyone's evil, it's the Fire Nation! You saw what they did to your library. They're destructive and dangerous. We need this information! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You think you're the first person to believe their war was justified? Countless others before you have come here, seeking weapons, weaknesses or battle strategies! :'''Aang''': We had no choice. Please, we're just desperate to protect the people we love! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': And now ''I'm'' going to protect what ''I'' love. :''(Wan Shi Tong spreads his wings; the library starts to shake and flood with sand)'' :'''Aang''': What are you doing?! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm taking my knowledge back. No one will ever abuse it again! :'''Katara''': He's sinking the building! We've gotta get out of here! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm afraid I can't allow that. You already know too much. (''shrieks and chases them'') ===The Desert=== :''(Both Sokka and Momo are hallucinating after drinking cactus juice)'' :'''Sokka''': Drink cactus juice, it'll quench ya. Nothing's quenchier. It's the quenchiest! :'''Katara''': ''[throws away the piece of cactus]'' Okay, I think you had enough. :'''Sokka''': Who lit Toph on fire? ''[Momo spins in a circle in the air and dive bombs to the ground.]'' :'''Toph''': Can I get some of that cactus? :'''Katara''': I don’t think that’s a good idea. Come on, we need to find Aang. ''[She and Toph walk on; when Sokka doesn't follow, Katara grabs him and drags him along with them]'' :'''Sokka''': How did we get out here in the middle of the ocean? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Aang confronts a group of sandbenders, including the ones who stole Appa]'' :'''Aang''': You tell me where he is, ''now''! :''[He obliterates one of the sand-sailers with airbending]'' :'''Sha-Mo''': ''[sternly, to his son]'' What did you ''do''?! :'''Gashiun''': I-It wasn't me! :'''Toph''': You said to put a muzzle on him! :'''Aang''': ''[enraged]'' You ''muzzled'' Appa?! :''[Aang enters the Avatar State; he smashes another of the sand-sailers]'' :'''Gashiun''': I'm sorry! I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar! :'''Aang''': ''[shouts with the voices of past Avatars]'' '''''TELL ME WHERE APPA IS!!''''' :'''Gashiun''': I-I traded him, to some merchants! He's... probably in Ba Sing Se by now. They were gonna sell him there. ''[Aang's glowing eyes narrow]'' Please, we'll escort you out of the desert! We'll help however we can! :''[A cyclone erupts around Aang, obscuring everything. Sokka grabs Toph's arm]'' :'''Sokka''': ''[to the sandbenders]'' Just get out of here! ''RUN!'' :''[Everyone flees from Aang, except Katara. As he rises off the ground, she approaches him and grabs his arm; he stares down at her, his face contorted with rage and grief. Katara pulls him back down to the ground. As the winds begin to die down, Sokka sees tears running from Aang's eyes as Katara hugs him]'' ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 1: The Serpent's Pass=== :''[Suki asks Sokka why he is being overprotective of her]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so hard to lose someone you care about. Something happened at the North Pole and I couldn't protect someone. I don't want anything like that to ever happen again. :'''Suki''': I lost someone I cared about. He didn't die. He just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave and funny... :'''Sokka''': ''(suspiciously)'' Who is this guy? Is he taller than me? :'''Suki''': ''(deadpan)'' No. He's about your height. :'''Sokka''': Is he better-looking? :'''Suki''': It ''is'' you, stupid! :'''Sokka''': Oh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Suki, you know about giant sea monsters, do something! :'''Suki''': Just because I live near the Unagi doesn't mean I'm an expert. :'''Sokka''': ''[picks up Momo and offers it to the Sea Serpent]'' Oh great and powerful sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank You. :'''Katara''': Sokka! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 2: The Drill=== :'''Mai''': She [Azula] can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I'm not going into that wall sludge juice. ''(Shudders, then closes hatch Katara, Sokka, and Ty Lee jumped into)'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Toph takes the group under ground]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so dark down here. I can't see a thing. :'''Toph''': (''Sarcastically'') Oh no, what a nightmare! :'''Sokka''': Sorry. ===City of Walls and Secrets=== <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': Well, no offense to you simple country folk, but a real society crowd would spot you from a mile away. You've got no manners. :'''Katara''': Excuse me? I've got no manners? You're not exactly lady fancy fingers. :'''Toph''': ''[burps]'' I learned proper society behavior and chose to leave it. You never learned anything. And frankly, it's a little too late. :'''Sokka''': Ah-Ha, but you learned it. You could teach us. :'''Aang''': Yeah, I'm mastering every element. How hard could manners be? ''[grabs a nearby curtain and drapes it around himself like a robe, and begins talking in a very sophisticated manner]'' Good evening, Mr. Sokka Watertribe. Ms. Katara Watertribe. Lord Momo of the Momo Dynasty, your Momo-ness. :'''Sokka''': ''[in a fancy accent]'' Avatar Aang how you ''do'' go on! :''[Both of them take turns bowing then try to bow at the same time, but they knock each other's foreheads' together and fall backward]'' :'''Toph''': Katara might be able to pull it off, but you two would be lucky to pass as busboys. :'''Sokka''': But I feel so fancy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Why won't you let us talk to the King?! We have information that could ''defeat'' the Fire Nation! :'''Long Feng''': The Earth King has no time to get involved in political squabbles and the day-to-day minutia of military activities. :'''Aang''': This could be the most important thing he's ever heard! :'''Long Feng''': What's ''most'' important to His Royal majesty is maintaining the ''cultural'' heritage of Ba Sing Se. All his duties relate to issuing decrees on such matters. It's ''my'' job to oversee the rest of the city's resources... including the military. :'''Katara''': So the King is just a figurehead. :'''Toph''': He's your puppet! :'''Long Feng''': Oh, no, no! His majesty is an icon, a ''god'' to his people. He can't sully his hands with the hourly changes of an endless war. :'''Sokka''': But we found out about a solar eclipse that will leave the Fire Nation defenseless! You could lead an invasion- :'''Long Feng''': ''[stands up] Enough.'' I don't want to hear your ridiculous plan. It is the strict policy of Ba Sing Se, that the war ''not'' be mentioned inside these walls. [As he speaks, the Dai Li are shown taking Jet to a secret facility]'' Constant news of an escalating war will throw the citizens of Ba Sing Se into a state of panic. :'''Jet''': ''[as the Dai Li strapped him into a chair]'' You have to believe me!? They're Firebenders!? They won't stop until they win the war!? :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' Calm down. You're safe now. ''[a light begins rotating in front of Jet at eye level]'' :'''Long Feng''': Our economy would be ruined. Our peaceful way of life, our traditions, would disappear. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' There's no war in Ba Sing Se. :'''Jet''': What are you talking about?! Where do you think all the refugees come from? You can't hide it?! ''[The Dai Li gag him as the light continues to rotate]'' :'''Long Feng''': In silencing talk of conflict, Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia... the last one on Earth. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet, muffled]'' There is no war within the walls. Here, we are safe. Here, we are free. :'''Katara''': You can't keep the truth from all these people. They have to know! :'''Aang''': I'll tell them! I'll make sure everyone knows :'''Long Feng''': Until now, you've been treated as our honored guest. But from now on, you will be watched by Dai Li agents. If you mention the war to ''anyone'', you will be expelled from the city. I understand you've been looking for your bison? It would be quite a ''shame'' if you were unable to complete your quest. ''[Aang glares at him]'' Now, Joo Dee will show you home. ''[A different young woman enters, with an equally blank smile on her face, startling Team Avatar]'' :'''Young Woman''': Come with me, please. :'''Katara''': What happened to Joo Dee? :'''Young Woman''': ''I'm'' Joo Dee. I'll be your host as long as you're in our wonderful city. ===The Tales of Ba Sing Se=== :''(Katara opens a door and sees Toph lying facedown on the floor, asleep)'' :'''Katara''': Toph, aren't you gonna get ready for the day? :''(Toph wakes up, hair frazzled, and spits)'' :'''Toph''': I'm ready. :'''Katara''': Aren't you gonna clean up? You've got a little dirt on your....everywhere actually. :'''Toph''': You call it dirt. I call it a healthy coating of earth. <hr width="50%"/> :''(A mugger approaches Iroh in an alley)'' :'''Mugger''': You! Hand over your money! :''(Iroh looks down and notices the mugger's unstable stance)'' :'''Iroh''': What are you doing? :'''Mugger''': I'm mugging you! :'''Iroh''': With that stance?? :'''Mugger''': Wha… What are you talking about? Just give me your money, old man! :'''Iroh''': With a poor stance you are unbalanced and can be easily knocked over. :''(Iroh knocks mugger down and then helps him up)'' :'''Iroh''': With a solid stance you are a much more serious threat! ===Appa's Lost Days=== :''[Azula is talking to the Kyoshi warriors, who fight with fans]'' :'''Azula''': Who are you? The Avatar's ''fangirls''? :''[a short pause]'' :'''Ty Lee''': ...Oh! I get it! Good one Azula. <hr width="50%"/> ''[Mai pins a Kyoshi warrior to a tree with her shurikens]'' :'''Mai''': You're so colorful, it's making me ''nauseous''. (''launches darts at another warrior'') :''[Ty Lee unleashes a flurry of jabs into the back of a Kyoshi warrior, dropping her, and unleashes a final taunt]'' :'''Ty Lee''': You are ''not'' prettier than we are. ===Lake Laogai=== :'''Sokka''': Hey, I thought designing the "Lost Appa" poster was my job! I've been working all day on my Appa! :(''shows Katara and Aang his picture. Katara is visibly trying not to laugh.''') :'''Aang''': Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's ''head''. :'''Sokka''': This ''is'' his head! :'''Katara''': Why are ''feet'' coming out of it? :'''Sokka''': Those are his horns! I haven't seen him in a while, okay? :'''Toph''': It looks just like him to me. :'''Sokka''': Thank you, I worked really--[''breaks off, remembering that Toph is blind'']...Why do you feel the need to do that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': (looking at the tied-up Appa) Uncle? :'''Iroh''': (walks into the cell) So, the Blue Spirit? I wonder who could be behind that mask? :'''Zuko''': What are you doing here? :'''Iroh''': I was just about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar's bison? Keep it locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of ''tea'' for him?! :'''Zuko''': First I have to get it out of here. :'''Iroh''': And then ''what''?! You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole! You had him, and then you had nowhere to go! :'''Zuko''': I would've figured something out. :'''Iroh''': No! If his friends hadn't found you, you would have frozen to death! :'''Zuko''': ''(very angry)'' I know my own destiny, Uncle. :'''Iroh''': Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you? :'''Zuko''': Stop it, Uncle! I have to do this! :'''Iroh''': I'm ''begging'' you, Prince Zuko! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and What do ''you'' want? :'''Zuko''': ''(Yells in frustration and throws his Blue Spirit mask and swords down.)'' ===The Earth King=== :'''Sokka''': Looks like Long Feng is long gone! (''laughs'') Oh, I've been waiting to use that one! <hr width="50%"> :'''Toph''': I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see! ===The Guru=== <hr width80> :'''Guru Pathik''': The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. :'''Aang''': Like the four nations. :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. :'''Aang''': We're all connected. Everything is connected. <hr width80> :'''Aang''': This is the last chakra, isn't it? :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions. :'''Aang''': Let's do this! :'''Guru Pathik''': The thought chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. :''(Aang imagines various images and memories of Katara)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river, forgotten. :'''Aang''': ''(snapping out of his meditation)'' What? Why would I let go of Katara? I...I-I love her! :'''Guru Pathik''': Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe. :'''Aang''': Why would I choose ''cosmic energy'' over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her? Three chakras ago, that was a good thing! :'''Guru Pathik''': You ''must'' learn to let go. <hr width80> :'''Azula''': Oh, don't worry, let should to be now. ''[Ty Lee attacks Katara and grunts]'' So, Zuzu in the city too, I think it's times to the family reunion. :'''Aang''': I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara. :'''Guru Pathik''': Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must open ''all'' the chakras. Surrender yourself. :'''Aang''': Okay, I'll try. :'''Guru Pathik''': Now think of your attachments. And let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. :''(He meditates again, beginning to let Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glowing version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains and begins to run towards her.) :'''Karata''': '''LET ME GO!!''' :''(His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth)'' :'''Aang''': (shocked) Katara's in danger! I have to go! ''(Aang gets up and begins to runs off)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': No Aang! By choosing attachment you have this locked the chakra! If you leave now, you won't be able to enter the Avatar State ''at all''!? :'''Long Feng''': ''[disembodied] Enough, I don't want to your ridicolous plan.'' :''(After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off)'' <hr width80> :'''Yu''': It's another one her tricks!? :'''Xin Fu''': There's in a giant hole in a box. How is that trick?! :'''Toph''': It's not! It's a real deal! <hr width80> :'''Long Feng''': But you're not a Kyoshi Warrior, aren't you. Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. ===The Crossroads of Destiny=== :'''Aang''': Uh... :'''Guru''': If you leave now, you won't be able enter the Avatar state at all!? :'''Sokka''': Aang, are you okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Long Feng''': Now comes the part where I double cross you. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation princess! ''(The Dai Li don't move)'' I said arrest her! What is wrong with you?! :'''Azula''': It's because they haven't made up their minds. They're waiting to see how this is going to end. :'''Long Feng''': What are you talking about? :'''Azula''': I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing, so you've had to struggle, and connive, and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne, and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know. ''(She sits on the throne)'' Well? ''[She and Long Feng lock eyes; after a long moment, Long Feng kneels before her]'' :'''Long Feng''': ... You've beaten me at my own game. :'''Azula''': Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': Uncle, I don't understand. What are you doing with the Avatar? :'''Aang''': ''[glares at him]'' Saving you, that's what. :''[Zuko starts to advance on him, but Iroh holds him back]'' :'''Iroh''': It's time we talked. ''[to Aang]'' Go help your other friends. We'll catch up with you. :''[Aang and Katara leave]'' :'''Zuko''': ''[not looking Iroh directly in the eye]'' Why, Uncle? :'''Iroh''': ''[seriously]'' You're not the man you used to be, Zuko. You are stronger, and wiser, and freer than you have ''ever'' been. And now you've come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose ''good''. :''[Iroh is suddenly immobilized by crystals, startling Zuko]'' :'''Azula''': ''[enters followed by two Dai Li Agents]'' I expected this kind of treachery from Uncle. But Zuko, ''Prince'' Zuko. You're a lot of things, but you aren't a traitor, are you? :'''Zuko''': Release him immediately! :'''Azula''':''[slyly]'' It's not too late for you, Zuko. You could still redeem yourself. :'''Iroh''': The kind of "redemption" she offers is not for you! :'''Azula''': ''[glares at him]'' Why don't you let ''him'' decide, Uncle? I need you, Zuko. I've plotted every move of this day, this glorious day in Fire Nation history, and the only way we win is ''together''. At the end of this day, you will have your honor back. You will have Father's love. You will have ''everything'' you want. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, I am begging you. Look into your heart and see what it is you truly want. :'''Azula''': You are free to choose. ''[she gestures for the Dai Li to leave, then pursues Aang and Katara, as Zuko considers his choice.]'' ==External links== [[Category:Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons]] ki1iquyhzz1mj0qkzh4el80p8f1mm8g 3147451 3147450 2022-07-26T15:09:50Z 2600:1702:F40:34E0:6997:8E8E:EDA0:DCC1 /* The Crossroads of Destiny */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 1)|1]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 2) |2]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3)|3]] | [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Main]] | ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' ([[The Legend of Korra (season 1)|1]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 2)|2]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 3)|3]] [[The Legend of Korra (season 4)|4]]) ---- The following is a list of quotes from the second season ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. ===The Avatar State=== :'''Captain''': Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not allow us to bring the ship into port before nightfall. :'''Azula''': I'm sorry, Captain, but I do not know much about the tides. Can you explain something to me? :'''Captain''': Of course, Your Highness. :'''Azula''': Do the ''tides'' command this ship? :'''Captain''': Um... I'm afraid I don't understand. :'''Azula''': You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. ''Do'' the tides command this ship? :'''Captain''': ...No, Princess. :'''Azula''': And, if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore? :'''Captain''': ''[nervously]''... No, Princess. :'''Azula''': Well, then maybe you should worry less about the tides, who've already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about ''me'', who's still mulling it over. :'''Captain''': I'll put us in. <hr width="50%"/> :''[General Fong and his men are attacking Aang in attempt to force him into the Avatar State. Katara attacks some of the Earthbenders with her waterbending]'' :'''Fong''': (''to Aang'') Maybe ''you'' can avoid me... but ''she'' can't. :''[Katara launches a water attack at Fong, but he deflects it with earth and causes her to sink into the ground up to her knees]'' :'''Katara''': Aah!

You have to let her go! :'''Fong''': You could ''save'' her if you were in the Avatar State! :'''Aang''': (''tearfully'') I'm trying!? I'm ''trying!?'' :'''Katara''': Aang, I'm sinking!? :''[She sinks up to her waist]'' :'''Fong''': I don't see any glowing! (''he sinks Katara up to her neck'') :'''Katara''': Aah!! Please!? :'''Aang''': You don't have to do this!? :'''Fong''': Apparently... I ''do''. ''[He closes his fist, and Katara is buried completely; Aang leaps to pull her out, but is too late. He turns towards Fong, his face full of rage and his tattoos and eyes glowing, indicating that he has entered the Avatar State]'' :'''Fong''': It worked! It worked! :''[His expression turns to fear as a massive cyclone of wind begins to form around Aang]'' ===The Cave of Two Lovers=== :'''Iroh''': Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea? :'''Zuko''': You didn't! :'''Iroh''': I did. ''[Iroh turns around to reveal his red, swollen face which he is scratching]'' And it wasn't. :'''Zuko''': Yah! :'''Iroh''': When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing. But look what I found! These are bacui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or macahoni berries that cause blindness. :'''Zuko''': We're not taking any more chances with these plants! We need to get help. :'''Iroh''': But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation. :'''Zuko''': If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed. :'''Iroh''': But if the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula. :''[Both look at one another and nod]'' :'''Zuko''': Earth Kingdom it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katara''': I have a crazy idea... :'''Aang''': What? :'''Katara''': Never mind. It's too crazy. :'''Aang''': Katara, what is it? :'''Katara''': ''(looking away)'' I was thinking... the curse says we'll be trapped in here forever unless we trust in love. :'''Aang''': Right. :'''Katara''': And here it says "love is brightest in the dark" and...has a picture of them kissing... :'''Aang''': ''(clueless)'' Where are you going with this? :'''Katara''': Well...what if we kissed? :'''Aang''': ''(shocked)'' Us kissing?! :'''Katara''': See? It was a crazy idea. :'''Aang''': Us...''(dreamily)'' kissing. :'''Katara''': ''(laughing)'' Us, kissing. What was I thinking? Can you imagine that? :'''Aang''': Yeah.''(laughs)'' I definitely wouldn't want to kiss you. :'''Katara''': ''(slightly hurt)'' Well, I didn't realize it was such a horrible option! Sorry I suggested it! :'''Aang''': No, I mean, if it was a choice between kissing you and dying- :'''Katara''': ''(turning away from him)''Ugh! :'''Aang''': What?! I'm saying I'd rather kiss you than die! That's a compliment! :'''Katara''': Well, I'm not sure which I'd rather do! ''(walks away)'' :'''Aang''': ''(sadly)'' What is wrong with me? ===Return to Omashu=== :'''Sokka''': ''[scared]'' ''AAAAHH!! YOU WON'T LET GO!! HELP!!'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[The little baby begins teething on Sokka's boomerang. Sokka takes it away.]'' :'''Sokka''': No! Bad Fire Nation baby! ''[The baby starts crying. Katara hits Sokka in the head.]'' OW!! :'''Katara''': Sokka, don't do that! :'''Sokka''': Oh, alright. ''[He gives his boomerang back to the baby to teeth on it. Katara hugs him from behind.]'' :'''Katara''': ''[baby voice]'' Oooh, you're so cute. Mmmm... ''[cut to resistance leader Yung observing the baby.]'' :'''Yung''': Sure, he's cute now... but when he's older, he'll join the Fire Nation army. You won't think he's so cute then. He'll be a killer. :'''Katara''': ''[picks up the baby to Yung]'' Does ''that'' look like the face of a killer to you? <hr width="50%"/> :''[after escaping from Azula, Aang confronts King Bumi inside a metal coffin about why he surrendered]'' :'''Aang''': I don't understand. Why didn't you free yourself? Why did you surrender when Omashu was invaded? What's the matter with you, Bumi?! :'''King Bumi''': ''[calmly]'' Listen to me, Aang. There are options in fighting called jing. It's a choice of how you direct your energy. :'''Aang''': I know! ''[counts with two fingers]'' There's positive jing when you're attacking, and negative jing when you're retreating. :'''King Bumi''': And neutral jing, when you do nothing! :'''Aang''': ''[suddenly surprised]'' There are ''three'' jings? :'''King Bumi''': Well, technically there are eighty-five, but let's just focus on the third. Neutral jing is the key to earthbending. It involves listening and waiting for the right moment to strike. :'''Aang''': That's why you surrendered, isn't it? :'''King Bumi''': Yes, and it's why I can't leave now. ''[Aang sadly turns around, feeling disappointed]'' :'''Aang''': I guess I need to find someone else to teach me earthbending. :'''King Bumi''': Your teacher will be someone who has mastered neutral jing. You need to find someone who ''waits and listens'' before striking. ''[Momo lands on Aang's shoulders]'' :'''Aang''': ''[happily]'' Hey, Momo! :'''King Bumi''': Momo's mastered a few jings himself! ''[Momo screeches loudly at Bumi]'' Goodbye, Aang. I'll see you when the time is right. ===The Swamp=== :'''Katara''': Sokka, you've got an elbow leech! :'''Sokka''': Where?! Where?! :'''Katara''': Where do you think? :''[He rips the leech off his elbow.]'' :'''Sokka''': WHY DO THINGS KEEP ATTACHING TO ME?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Huu''': ''[about the great banyan tree]'' See, this whole swamp is actually just one tree spread out over miles. Branches spread and sink, take root, and spread some more... One big living organism, just like the entire world. :'''Aang''': I get how the tree is one big thing, but the whole world? :'''Huu''': Sure. You think you're any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We are all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree. :'''Katara''': But what did our visions mean? :'''Huu''': In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to 'em. [[Time]] is an [[illusion]], and so is [[death]]. :'''Aang''': But what about my vision? It was someone I had never met. :'''Huu''': You're the Avatar. You tell me. :'''Aang''': ''[contemplates]'' Time is an illusion... So, it's someone I ''will'' meet. ===Avatar Day=== :'''Zuko''': There is no honor for me without the Avatar. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, even if you did capture the Avatar, I'm not so sure it would solve our problems. Not now. :'''Zuko''': Then there is no hope at all. :'''Iroh''': No, Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give ''yourself''. That is the meaning of inner strength. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aang''': I said I would face justice, so I will. ''(spins Wheel of Punishment)'' :'''Spectator 1''': ''(rooting)'' Come on, torture machine! :'''Old Man''': Eaten by bears! :'''Spectator 2''': Razor pit! :'''Katara''': ''(worried)'' Community service! Please land on community service. ===The Blind Bandit=== :'''The Boulder''': The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl. :'''[[w:Toph|Toph]]''': Sounds to me like you're ''scared'', Boulder! :'''The Boulder''': ...The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche! :'''Toph''': Whenever you're ready, the Pebble! ''(laughs evil-like)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': (Aang has just entered the ring) Do people really want to see ''two'' little girls fighting out here? :'''Aang''': ''(to Toph)'' I don't really want to fight you. I want to talk to you. :'''Sokka''': BOO! NO TALKING! :'''Katara''': Don't boo at him! ''[hits Sokka on the arm]'' ===Zuko Alone=== :'''Soldier 1''': Hey! Did you throw that egg? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': Did you see who did it? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': That egg had to've come from somewhere. :'''Zuko''': Maybe a chicken flew over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Young Zuko''': Stupid turtle duck? Why you do that?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ozai''': Father, you must have realized as I have that with Lu Ten gone, Iroh's bloodline has ended. After his son's death, my brother abandoned the siege at Ba Sing Se, and who knows when he'll return home. But I am here, Father, and my children are alive. :'''Azulon''': Say what it is you want! :'''Ozai''': Father, revoke Iroh's birthright. I am your humble servant, here to serve you and our nation. Use me. :'''Azulon''': You dare suggest I betray Iroh, my first born, directly after the demise of his only beloved son?! I think that Iroh has suffered enough. But you, your punishment has scarcely begun! ===The Chase=== ''[Azula has tracked Aang down to a deserted town]'' :'''Azula''': Do you ''really'' want to fight me? ''[Zuko suddenly arrives, jumping off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Zuko''': Yes, I really do. :'''Azula''': I was wondering when you'd show up, Zuzu. :'''Aang''': ''[stifles a laugh]'' "Zuzu?" :'''Zuko''': ''[assumes a fighting stance]'' Back off, Azula. He's mine! :'''Azula''': ''[Confidently]''... I'm not going ''anywhere.'' ''[She assumes a fighting stance as well]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Toph and Iroh begin to share a conversation over tea on a rocky hilltop]'' :'''Toph''': People see me and think I'm weak. They want to take care of me, but I can take care of myself, by myself. :'''Iroh''': You sound like my nephew, always thinking you need to do things on your own, without anyone's support. There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you. :'''Toph''': ''[laughs]'' So where is your nephew? :'''Iroh''': I've been tracking him, actually. :'''Toph''': Is he lost? :'''Iroh''': ''[looks away; slightly sad]'' Yes, a little bit. ''[cuts to shot of the rocky ledge where the two sit, the mountain region in the background]'' His life has recently changed and he's going through very difficult times. He's trying to figure out who he is and he went away. :'''Toph''': So now you're following him. :'''Iroh''': I know he doesn't want me around him right now, but if he needs me, I'll be there. :'''Toph''': Your nephew is very lucky, even if he doesn't know it. ''[gets up to leave]'' Thank you. :'''Iroh''': My pleasure. Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights. :'''Toph''': ''[happily]'' No, thank you for what you said. It helped me. :'''Iroh''': I'm glad. ''[Toph rises to leave, but turns around briefly]'' :'''Toph''': Oh, and about your nephew... Maybe you should tell him that you need him, too. ===Bitter Work=== :''[Sokka is buried in the earth and a hippo comes running with an apple in its mouth]'' :'''Sokka''': Hey! Looks like my karma is already paying off. :''[Hippo rolls the apple but not within range of Sokka's hands or mouth]'' :'''Sokka''' [Elated]: That's okay. I got it. :''[Sokka struggles to move hands but boomerang instead falls out off his bag]'' :'''Sokka''' [after 10 second pause and annoyed]: Now come back, boomerang. <hr width="50%"> :'''Iroh''': ''[drawing the Fire Nation symbol in the sand before Zuko]'' Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want. ''[draws the Earth Kingdom symbol]'' Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. ''[draws the Air Nomads symbol]'' Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom. Also, they apparently had pretty good senses of ''humor''! ''[grins]'' :''[Zuko stares blankly at Iroh]'' :'''Iroh''': ''[continuing, drawing the Water Tribe symbol]'' Water is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together though anything. :'''Zuko''': Why are you telling me these things? :'''Iroh''': It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole. :'''Zuko''': All this "Four Elements" talk is sounding like Avatar stuff. :'''Iroh''': It is the combination of the four elements within one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But, it can make you more powerful, too. (''prods him in the chest with his staff'') You see, the technique I am about to teach you is one I learned by studying the Waterbenders. ===The Library=== :'''Wan Shi Tong''': ''(leers to a nervous Sokka)'' So, who are ''you'' trying to destroy? :'''Sokka''': What? No! No destroying, we're not into that. :'''Wan Shi Tong''': Then why are you here? :'''Sokka''': ''(hesitates)'' Umm... Knowledge for knowledge's sake? :''(pause)'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': If you're going to lie to an all-knowing spirit being, you should at least put some effort into it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Wan Shi Tong confronts Team Avatar and Professor Zei in the planetarium for obtaining knowledge on the next solar eclipse]'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You betrayed my trust. From the beginning, you intended to misuse this knowledge for evil purposes. :'''Sokka''': You don't understand. If anyone's evil, it's the Fire Nation! You saw what they did to your library. They're destructive and dangerous. We need this information! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You think you're the first person to believe their war was justified? Countless others before you have come here, seeking weapons, weaknesses or battle strategies! :'''Aang''': We had no choice. Please, we're just desperate to protect the people we love! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': And now ''I'm'' going to protect what ''I'' love. :''(Wan Shi Tong spreads his wings; the library starts to shake and flood with sand)'' :'''Aang''': What are you doing?! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm taking my knowledge back. No one will ever abuse it again! :'''Katara''': He's sinking the building! We've gotta get out of here! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm afraid I can't allow that. You already know too much. (''shrieks and chases them'') ===The Desert=== :''(Both Sokka and Momo are hallucinating after drinking cactus juice)'' :'''Sokka''': Drink cactus juice, it'll quench ya. Nothing's quenchier. It's the quenchiest! :'''Katara''': ''[throws away the piece of cactus]'' Okay, I think you had enough. :'''Sokka''': Who lit Toph on fire? ''[Momo spins in a circle in the air and dive bombs to the ground.]'' :'''Toph''': Can I get some of that cactus? :'''Katara''': I don’t think that’s a good idea. Come on, we need to find Aang. ''[She and Toph walk on; when Sokka doesn't follow, Katara grabs him and drags him along with them]'' :'''Sokka''': How did we get out here in the middle of the ocean? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Aang confronts a group of sandbenders, including the ones who stole Appa]'' :'''Aang''': You tell me where he is, ''now''! :''[He obliterates one of the sand-sailers with airbending]'' :'''Sha-Mo''': ''[sternly, to his son]'' What did you ''do''?! :'''Gashiun''': I-It wasn't me! :'''Toph''': You said to put a muzzle on him! :'''Aang''': ''[enraged]'' You ''muzzled'' Appa?! :''[Aang enters the Avatar State; he smashes another of the sand-sailers]'' :'''Gashiun''': I'm sorry! I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar! :'''Aang''': ''[shouts with the voices of past Avatars]'' '''''TELL ME WHERE APPA IS!!''''' :'''Gashiun''': I-I traded him, to some merchants! He's... probably in Ba Sing Se by now. They were gonna sell him there. ''[Aang's glowing eyes narrow]'' Please, we'll escort you out of the desert! We'll help however we can! :''[A cyclone erupts around Aang, obscuring everything. Sokka grabs Toph's arm]'' :'''Sokka''': ''[to the sandbenders]'' Just get out of here! ''RUN!'' :''[Everyone flees from Aang, except Katara. As he rises off the ground, she approaches him and grabs his arm; he stares down at her, his face contorted with rage and grief. Katara pulls him back down to the ground. As the winds begin to die down, Sokka sees tears running from Aang's eyes as Katara hugs him]'' ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 1: The Serpent's Pass=== :''[Suki asks Sokka why he is being overprotective of her]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so hard to lose someone you care about. Something happened at the North Pole and I couldn't protect someone. I don't want anything like that to ever happen again. :'''Suki''': I lost someone I cared about. He didn't die. He just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave and funny... :'''Sokka''': ''(suspiciously)'' Who is this guy? Is he taller than me? :'''Suki''': ''(deadpan)'' No. He's about your height. :'''Sokka''': Is he better-looking? :'''Suki''': It ''is'' you, stupid! :'''Sokka''': Oh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Suki, you know about giant sea monsters, do something! :'''Suki''': Just because I live near the Unagi doesn't mean I'm an expert. :'''Sokka''': ''[picks up Momo and offers it to the Sea Serpent]'' Oh great and powerful sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank You. :'''Katara''': Sokka! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 2: The Drill=== :'''Mai''': She [Azula] can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I'm not going into that wall sludge juice. ''(Shudders, then closes hatch Katara, Sokka, and Ty Lee jumped into)'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Toph takes the group under ground]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so dark down here. I can't see a thing. :'''Toph''': (''Sarcastically'') Oh no, what a nightmare! :'''Sokka''': Sorry. ===City of Walls and Secrets=== <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': Well, no offense to you simple country folk, but a real society crowd would spot you from a mile away. You've got no manners. :'''Katara''': Excuse me? I've got no manners? You're not exactly lady fancy fingers. :'''Toph''': ''[burps]'' I learned proper society behavior and chose to leave it. You never learned anything. And frankly, it's a little too late. :'''Sokka''': Ah-Ha, but you learned it. You could teach us. :'''Aang''': Yeah, I'm mastering every element. How hard could manners be? ''[grabs a nearby curtain and drapes it around himself like a robe, and begins talking in a very sophisticated manner]'' Good evening, Mr. Sokka Watertribe. Ms. Katara Watertribe. Lord Momo of the Momo Dynasty, your Momo-ness. :'''Sokka''': ''[in a fancy accent]'' Avatar Aang how you ''do'' go on! :''[Both of them take turns bowing then try to bow at the same time, but they knock each other's foreheads' together and fall backward]'' :'''Toph''': Katara might be able to pull it off, but you two would be lucky to pass as busboys. :'''Sokka''': But I feel so fancy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Why won't you let us talk to the King?! We have information that could ''defeat'' the Fire Nation! :'''Long Feng''': The Earth King has no time to get involved in political squabbles and the day-to-day minutia of military activities. :'''Aang''': This could be the most important thing he's ever heard! :'''Long Feng''': What's ''most'' important to His Royal majesty is maintaining the ''cultural'' heritage of Ba Sing Se. All his duties relate to issuing decrees on such matters. It's ''my'' job to oversee the rest of the city's resources... including the military. :'''Katara''': So the King is just a figurehead. :'''Toph''': He's your puppet! :'''Long Feng''': Oh, no, no! His majesty is an icon, a ''god'' to his people. He can't sully his hands with the hourly changes of an endless war. :'''Sokka''': But we found out about a solar eclipse that will leave the Fire Nation defenseless! You could lead an invasion- :'''Long Feng''': ''[stands up] Enough.'' I don't want to hear your ridiculous plan. It is the strict policy of Ba Sing Se, that the war ''not'' be mentioned inside these walls. [As he speaks, the Dai Li are shown taking Jet to a secret facility]'' Constant news of an escalating war will throw the citizens of Ba Sing Se into a state of panic. :'''Jet''': ''[as the Dai Li strapped him into a chair]'' You have to believe me!? They're Firebenders!? They won't stop until they win the war!? :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' Calm down. You're safe now. ''[a light begins rotating in front of Jet at eye level]'' :'''Long Feng''': Our economy would be ruined. Our peaceful way of life, our traditions, would disappear. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' There's no war in Ba Sing Se. :'''Jet''': What are you talking about?! Where do you think all the refugees come from? You can't hide it?! ''[The Dai Li gag him as the light continues to rotate]'' :'''Long Feng''': In silencing talk of conflict, Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia... the last one on Earth. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet, muffled]'' There is no war within the walls. Here, we are safe. Here, we are free. :'''Katara''': You can't keep the truth from all these people. They have to know! :'''Aang''': I'll tell them! I'll make sure everyone knows :'''Long Feng''': Until now, you've been treated as our honored guest. But from now on, you will be watched by Dai Li agents. If you mention the war to ''anyone'', you will be expelled from the city. I understand you've been looking for your bison? It would be quite a ''shame'' if you were unable to complete your quest. ''[Aang glares at him]'' Now, Joo Dee will show you home. ''[A different young woman enters, with an equally blank smile on her face, startling Team Avatar]'' :'''Young Woman''': Come with me, please. :'''Katara''': What happened to Joo Dee? :'''Young Woman''': ''I'm'' Joo Dee. I'll be your host as long as you're in our wonderful city. ===The Tales of Ba Sing Se=== :''(Katara opens a door and sees Toph lying facedown on the floor, asleep)'' :'''Katara''': Toph, aren't you gonna get ready for the day? :''(Toph wakes up, hair frazzled, and spits)'' :'''Toph''': I'm ready. :'''Katara''': Aren't you gonna clean up? You've got a little dirt on your....everywhere actually. :'''Toph''': You call it dirt. I call it a healthy coating of earth. <hr width="50%"/> :''(A mugger approaches Iroh in an alley)'' :'''Mugger''': You! Hand over your money! :''(Iroh looks down and notices the mugger's unstable stance)'' :'''Iroh''': What are you doing? :'''Mugger''': I'm mugging you! :'''Iroh''': With that stance?? :'''Mugger''': Wha… What are you talking about? Just give me your money, old man! :'''Iroh''': With a poor stance you are unbalanced and can be easily knocked over. :''(Iroh knocks mugger down and then helps him up)'' :'''Iroh''': With a solid stance you are a much more serious threat! ===Appa's Lost Days=== :''[Azula is talking to the Kyoshi warriors, who fight with fans]'' :'''Azula''': Who are you? The Avatar's ''fangirls''? :''[a short pause]'' :'''Ty Lee''': ...Oh! I get it! Good one Azula. <hr width="50%"/> ''[Mai pins a Kyoshi warrior to a tree with her shurikens]'' :'''Mai''': You're so colorful, it's making me ''nauseous''. (''launches darts at another warrior'') :''[Ty Lee unleashes a flurry of jabs into the back of a Kyoshi warrior, dropping her, and unleashes a final taunt]'' :'''Ty Lee''': You are ''not'' prettier than we are. ===Lake Laogai=== :'''Sokka''': Hey, I thought designing the "Lost Appa" poster was my job! I've been working all day on my Appa! :(''shows Katara and Aang his picture. Katara is visibly trying not to laugh.''') :'''Aang''': Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's ''head''. :'''Sokka''': This ''is'' his head! :'''Katara''': Why are ''feet'' coming out of it? :'''Sokka''': Those are his horns! I haven't seen him in a while, okay? :'''Toph''': It looks just like him to me. :'''Sokka''': Thank you, I worked really--[''breaks off, remembering that Toph is blind'']...Why do you feel the need to do that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': (looking at the tied-up Appa) Uncle? :'''Iroh''': (walks into the cell) So, the Blue Spirit? I wonder who could be behind that mask? :'''Zuko''': What are you doing here? :'''Iroh''': I was just about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar's bison? Keep it locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of ''tea'' for him?! :'''Zuko''': First I have to get it out of here. :'''Iroh''': And then ''what''?! You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole! You had him, and then you had nowhere to go! :'''Zuko''': I would've figured something out. :'''Iroh''': No! If his friends hadn't found you, you would have frozen to death! :'''Zuko''': ''(very angry)'' I know my own destiny, Uncle. :'''Iroh''': Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you? :'''Zuko''': Stop it, Uncle! I have to do this! :'''Iroh''': I'm ''begging'' you, Prince Zuko! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and What do ''you'' want? :'''Zuko''': ''(Yells in frustration and throws his Blue Spirit mask and swords down.)'' ===The Earth King=== :'''Sokka''': Looks like Long Feng is long gone! (''laughs'') Oh, I've been waiting to use that one! <hr width="50%"> :'''Toph''': I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see! ===The Guru=== <hr width80> :'''Guru Pathik''': The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. :'''Aang''': Like the four nations. :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. :'''Aang''': We're all connected. Everything is connected. <hr width80> :'''Aang''': This is the last chakra, isn't it? :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions. :'''Aang''': Let's do this! :'''Guru Pathik''': The thought chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. :''(Aang imagines various images and memories of Katara)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river, forgotten. :'''Aang''': ''(snapping out of his meditation)'' What? Why would I let go of Katara? I...I-I love her! :'''Guru Pathik''': Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe. :'''Aang''': Why would I choose ''cosmic energy'' over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her? Three chakras ago, that was a good thing! :'''Guru Pathik''': You ''must'' learn to let go. <hr width80> :'''Azula''': Oh, don't worry, let should to be now. ''[Ty Lee attacks Katara and grunts]'' So, Zuzu in the city too, I think it's times to the family reunion. :'''Aang''': I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara. :'''Guru Pathik''': Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must open ''all'' the chakras. Surrender yourself. :'''Aang''': Okay, I'll try. :'''Guru Pathik''': Now think of your attachments. And let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. :''(He meditates again, beginning to let Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glowing version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains and begins to run towards her.) :'''Karata''': '''LET ME GO!!''' :''(His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth)'' :'''Aang''': (shocked) Katara's in danger! I have to go! ''(Aang gets up and begins to runs off)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': No Aang! By choosing attachment you have this locked the chakra! If you leave now, you won't be able to enter the Avatar State ''at all''!? :'''Long Feng''': ''[disembodied] Enough, I don't want to your ridicolous plan.'' :''(After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off)'' <hr width80> :'''Yu''': It's another one her tricks!? :'''Xin Fu''': There's in a giant hole in a box. How is that trick?! :'''Toph''': It's not! It's a real deal! <hr width80> :'''Long Feng''': But you're not a Kyoshi Warrior, aren't you. Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. ===The Crossroads of Destiny=== :'''Aang''': Uh... :'''Guru''': If you leave now, you won't be able enter the Avatar state at all!? :'''Sokka''': Aang, are you okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Long Feng''': Now comes the part where I double cross you. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation princess! ''(The Dai Li don't move)'' I said arrest her! ''(The Dai li don't move again)'' What is wrong with you?! :'''Azula''': It's because they haven't made up their minds. They're waiting to see how this is going to end. :'''Long Feng''': What are you talking about? :'''Azula''': I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing, so you've had to struggle, and connive, and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne, and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know. ''(She sits on the throne)'' Well? ''[She and Long Feng lock eyes; after a long moment, Long Feng kneels before her]'' :'''Long Feng''': ... You've beaten me at my own game. :'''Azula''': Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': Uncle, I don't understand. What are you doing with the Avatar? :'''Aang''': ''[glares at him]'' Saving you, that's what. :''[Zuko starts to advance on him, but Iroh holds him back]'' :'''Iroh''': It's time we talked. ''[to Aang]'' Go help your other friends. We'll catch up with you. :''[Aang and Katara leave]'' :'''Zuko''': ''[not looking Iroh directly in the eye]'' Why, Uncle? :'''Iroh''': ''[seriously]'' You're not the man you used to be, Zuko. You are stronger, and wiser, and freer than you have ''ever'' been. And now you've come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose ''good''. :''[Iroh is suddenly immobilized by crystals, startling Zuko]'' :'''Azula''': ''[enters followed by two Dai Li Agents]'' I expected this kind of treachery from Uncle. But Zuko, ''Prince'' Zuko. You're a lot of things, but you aren't a traitor, are you? :'''Zuko''': Release him immediately! :'''Azula''':''[slyly]'' It's not too late for you, Zuko. You could still redeem yourself. :'''Iroh''': The kind of "redemption" she offers is not for you! :'''Azula''': ''[glares at him]'' Why don't you let ''him'' decide, Uncle? I need you, Zuko. I've plotted every move of this day, this glorious day in Fire Nation history, and the only way we win is ''together''. At the end of this day, you will have your honor back. You will have Father's love. You will have ''everything'' you want. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, I am begging you. Look into your heart and see what it is you truly want. :'''Azula''': You are free to choose.

Can you explain something to me? :'''Captain''': Of course, Your Highness. :'''Azula''': Do the ''tides'' command this ship? :'''Captain''': Um... I'm afraid I don't understand. :'''Azula''': You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. ''Do'' the tides command this ship? :'''Captain''': ...No, Princess. :'''Azula''': And, if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore? :'''Captain''': ''[nervously]''... No, Princess. :'''Azula''': Well, then maybe you should worry less about the tides, who've already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about ''me'', who's still mulling it over. :'''Captain''': I'll put us in. <hr width="50%"/> :''[General Fong and his men are attacking Aang in attempt to force him into the Avatar State. Katara attacks some of the Earthbenders with her waterbending]'' :'''Fong''': (''to Aang'') Maybe ''you'' can avoid me... but ''she'' can't. :''[Katara launches a water attack at Fong, but he deflects it with earth and causes her to sink into the ground up to her knees]'' :'''Katara''': Aah! I can't move!? :'''Aang''': (''angry and frightened'') Don't hurt her! :''[He airbends at Fong, who deflects it]'' :'''Sokka''': Katara, no!? :''[He tries to help her, but Fong uses earthbending to knocks him off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Aang''': (''grabs Fong's arm'') Stop this! You have to let her go! :'''Fong''': You could ''save'' her if you were in the Avatar State! :'''Aang''': (''tearfully'') I'm trying!? I'm ''trying!?'' :'''Katara''': Aang, I'm sinking!? :''[She sinks up to her waist]'' :'''Fong''': I don't see any glowing! (''he sinks Katara up to her neck'') :'''Katara''': Aah!! Please!? :'''Aang''': You don't have to do this!? :'''Fong''': Apparently... I ''do''. ''[He closes his fist, and Katara is buried completely; Aang leaps to pull her out, but is too late. He turns towards Fong, his face full of rage and his tattoos and eyes glowing, indicating that he has entered the Avatar State]'' :'''Fong''': It worked! It worked! :''[His expression turns to fear as a massive cyclone of wind begins to form around Aang]'' ===The Cave of Two Lovers=== :'''Iroh''': Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea? :'''Zuko''': You didn't! :'''Iroh''': I did. ''[Iroh turns around to reveal his red, swollen face which he is scratching]'' And it wasn't. :'''Zuko''': Yah! :'''Iroh''': When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing. But look what I found! These are bacui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or macahoni berries that cause blindness. :'''Zuko''': We're not taking any more chances with these plants! We need to get help. :'''Iroh''': But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation. :'''Zuko''': If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed. :'''Iroh''': But if the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula. :''[Both look at one another and nod]'' :'''Zuko''': Earth Kingdom it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Katara''': I have a crazy idea... :'''Aang''': What? :'''Katara''': Never mind. It's too crazy. :'''Aang''': Katara, what is it? :'''Katara''': ''(looking away)'' I was thinking... the curse says we'll be trapped in here forever unless we trust in love. :'''Aang''': Right. :'''Katara''': And here it says "love is brightest in the dark" and...has a picture of them kissing... :'''Aang''': ''(clueless)'' Where are you going with this? :'''Katara''': Well...what if we kissed? :'''Aang''': ''(shocked)'' Us kissing?! :'''Katara''': See? It was a crazy idea. :'''Aang''': Us...''(dreamily)'' kissing. :'''Katara''': ''(laughing)'' Us, kissing. What was I thinking? Can you imagine that? :'''Aang''': Yeah.''(laughs)'' I definitely wouldn't want to kiss you. :'''Katara''': ''(slightly hurt)'' Well, I didn't realize it was such a horrible option! Sorry I suggested it! :'''Aang''': No, I mean, if it was a choice between kissing you and dying- :'''Katara''': ''(turning away from him)''Ugh! :'''Aang''': What?! I'm saying I'd rather kiss you than die! That's a compliment! :'''Katara''': Well, I'm not sure which I'd rather do! ''(walks away)'' :'''Aang''': ''(sadly)'' What is wrong with me? ===Return to Omashu=== :'''Sokka''': ''[scared]'' ''AAAAHH!! YOU WON'T LET GO!! HELP!!'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[The little baby begins teething on Sokka's boomerang. Sokka takes it away.]'' :'''Sokka''': No! Bad Fire Nation baby! ''[The baby starts crying. Katara hits Sokka in the head.]'' OW!! :'''Katara''': Sokka, don't do that! :'''Sokka''': Oh, alright. ''[He gives his boomerang back to the baby to teeth on it. Katara hugs him from behind.]'' :'''Katara''': ''[baby voice]'' Oooh, you're so cute. Mmmm... ''[cut to resistance leader Yung observing the baby.]'' :'''Yung''': Sure, he's cute now... but when he's older, he'll join the Fire Nation army. You won't think he's so cute then. He'll be a killer. :'''Katara''': ''[picks up the baby to Yung]'' Does ''that'' look like the face of a killer to you? <hr width="50%"/> :''[after escaping from Azula, Aang confronts King Bumi inside a metal coffin about why he surrendered]'' :'''Aang''': I don't understand. Why didn't you free yourself? Why did you surrender when Omashu was invaded? What's the matter with you, Bumi?! :'''King Bumi''': ''[calmly]'' Listen to me, Aang. There are options in fighting called jing. It's a choice of how you direct your energy. :'''Aang''': I know! ''[counts with two fingers]'' There's positive jing when you're attacking, and negative jing when you're retreating. :'''King Bumi''': And neutral jing, when you do nothing! :'''Aang''': ''[suddenly surprised]'' There are ''three'' jings? :'''King Bumi''': Well, technically there are eighty-five, but let's just focus on the third. Neutral jing is the key to earthbending. It involves listening and waiting for the right moment to strike. :'''Aang''': That's why you surrendered, isn't it? :'''King Bumi''': Yes, and it's why I can't leave now. ''[Aang sadly turns around, feeling disappointed]'' :'''Aang''': I guess I need to find someone else to teach me earthbending. :'''King Bumi''': Your teacher will be someone who has mastered neutral jing. You need to find someone who ''waits and listens'' before striking. ''[Momo lands on Aang's shoulders]'' :'''Aang''': ''[happily]'' Hey, Momo! :'''King Bumi''': Momo's mastered a few jings himself! ''[Momo screeches loudly at Bumi]'' Goodbye, Aang. I'll see you when the time is right. ===The Swamp=== :'''Katara''': Sokka, you've got an elbow leech! :'''Sokka''': Where?! Where?! :'''Katara''': Where do you think? :''[He rips the leech off his elbow.]'' :'''Sokka''': WHY DO THINGS KEEP ATTACHING TO ME?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Huu''': ''[about the great banyan tree]'' See, this whole swamp is actually just one tree spread out over miles. Branches spread and sink, take root, and spread some more... One big living organism, just like the entire world. :'''Aang''': I get how the tree is one big thing, but the whole world? :'''Huu''': Sure. You think you're any different from me, or your friends, or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We are all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree. :'''Katara''': But what did our visions mean? :'''Huu''': In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to 'em. [[Time]] is an [[illusion]], and so is [[death]]. :'''Aang''': But what about my vision? It was someone I had never met. :'''Huu''': You're the Avatar. You tell me. :'''Aang''': ''[contemplates]'' Time is an illusion... So, it's someone I ''will'' meet. ===Avatar Day=== :'''Zuko''': There is no honor for me without the Avatar. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, even if you did capture the Avatar, I'm not so sure it would solve our problems. Not now. :'''Zuko''': Then there is no hope at all. :'''Iroh''': No, Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give ''yourself''. That is the meaning of inner strength. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aang''': I said I would face justice, so I will. ''(spins Wheel of Punishment)'' :'''Spectator 1''': ''(rooting)'' Come on, torture machine! :'''Old Man''': Eaten by bears! :'''Spectator 2''': Razor pit! :'''Katara''': ''(worried)'' Community service! Please land on community service. ===The Blind Bandit=== :'''The Boulder''': The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl. :'''[[w:Toph|Toph]]''': Sounds to me like you're ''scared'', Boulder! :'''The Boulder''': ...The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche! :'''Toph''': Whenever you're ready, the Pebble! ''(laughs evil-like)'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': (Aang has just entered the ring) Do people really want to see ''two'' little girls fighting out here? :'''Aang''': ''(to Toph)'' I don't really want to fight you. I want to talk to you. :'''Sokka''': BOO! NO TALKING! :'''Katara''': Don't boo at him! ''[hits Sokka on the arm]'' ===Zuko Alone=== :'''Soldier 1''': Hey! Did you throw that egg? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': Did you see who did it? :'''Zuko''': No. :'''Soldier 1''': That egg had to've come from somewhere. :'''Zuko''': Maybe a chicken flew over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Young Zuko''': Stupid turtle duck? Why you do that?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ozai''': Father, you must have realized as I have that with Lu Ten gone, Iroh's bloodline has ended. After his son's death, my brother abandoned the siege at Ba Sing Se, and who knows when he'll return home. But I am here, Father, and my children are alive. :'''Azulon''': Say what it is you want! :'''Ozai''': Father, revoke Iroh's birthright. I am your humble servant, here to serve you and our nation. Use me. :'''Azulon''': You dare suggest I betray Iroh, my first born, directly after the demise of his only beloved son?! I think that Iroh has suffered enough. But you, your punishment has scarcely begun! ===The Chase=== ''[Azula has tracked Aang down to a deserted town]'' :'''Azula''': Do you ''really'' want to fight me? ''[Zuko suddenly arrives, jumping off his ostrich-horse]'' :'''Zuko''': Yes, I really do. :'''Azula''': I was wondering when you'd show up, Zuzu. :'''Aang''': ''[stifles a laugh]'' "Zuzu?" :'''Zuko''': ''[assumes a fighting stance]'' Back off, Azula. He's mine! :'''Azula''': ''[Confidently]''... I'm not going ''anywhere.'' ''[She assumes a fighting stance as well]'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Toph and Iroh begin to share a conversation over tea on a rocky hilltop]'' :'''Toph''': People see me and think I'm weak. They want to take care of me, but I can take care of myself, by myself. :'''Iroh''': You sound like my nephew, always thinking you need to do things on your own, without anyone's support. There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you. Not that I love you, I just met you. :'''Toph''': ''[laughs]'' So where is your nephew? :'''Iroh''': I've been tracking him, actually. :'''Toph''': Is he lost? :'''Iroh''': ''[looks away; slightly sad]'' Yes, a little bit. ''[cuts to shot of the rocky ledge where the two sit, the mountain region in the background]'' His life has recently changed and he's going through very difficult times. He's trying to figure out who he is and he went away. :'''Toph''': So now you're following him. :'''Iroh''': I know he doesn't want me around him right now, but if he needs me, I'll be there. :'''Toph''': Your nephew is very lucky, even if he doesn't know it. ''[gets up to leave]'' Thank you. :'''Iroh''': My pleasure. Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights. :'''Toph''': ''[happily]'' No, thank you for what you said. It helped me. :'''Iroh''': I'm glad. ''[Toph rises to leave, but turns around briefly]'' :'''Toph''': Oh, and about your nephew... Maybe you should tell him that you need him, too. ===Bitter Work=== :''[Sokka is buried in the earth and a hippo comes running with an apple in its mouth]'' :'''Sokka''': Hey! Looks like my karma is already paying off. :''[Hippo rolls the apple but not within range of Sokka's hands or mouth]'' :'''Sokka''' [Elated]: That's okay. I got it. :''[Sokka struggles to move hands but boomerang instead falls out off his bag]'' :'''Sokka''' [after 10 second pause and annoyed]: Now come back, boomerang. <hr width="50%"> :'''Iroh''': ''[drawing the Fire Nation symbol in the sand before Zuko]'' Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want. ''[draws the Earth Kingdom symbol]'' Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. ''[draws the Air Nomads symbol]'' Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom. Also, they apparently had pretty good senses of ''humor''! ''[grins]'' :''[Zuko stares blankly at Iroh]'' :'''Iroh''': ''[continuing, drawing the Water Tribe symbol]'' Water is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together though anything. :'''Zuko''': Why are you telling me these things? :'''Iroh''': It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole. :'''Zuko''': All this "Four Elements" talk is sounding like Avatar stuff. :'''Iroh''': It is the combination of the four elements within one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But, it can make you more powerful, too. (''prods him in the chest with his staff'') You see, the technique I am about to teach you is one I learned by studying the Waterbenders. ===The Library=== :'''Wan Shi Tong''': ''(leers to a nervous Sokka)'' So, who are ''you'' trying to destroy? :'''Sokka''': What? No! No destroying, we're not into that. :'''Wan Shi Tong''': Then why are you here? :'''Sokka''': ''(hesitates)'' Umm... Knowledge for knowledge's sake? :''(pause)'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': If you're going to lie to an all-knowing spirit being, you should at least put some effort into it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Wan Shi Tong confronts Team Avatar and Professor Zei in the planetarium for obtaining knowledge on the next solar eclipse]'' :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You betrayed my trust. From the beginning, you intended to misuse this knowledge for evil purposes. :'''Sokka''': You don't understand. If anyone's evil, it's the Fire Nation! You saw what they did to your library. They're destructive and dangerous. We need this information! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': You think you're the first person to believe their war was justified? Countless others before you have come here, seeking weapons, weaknesses or battle strategies! :'''Aang''': We had no choice. Please, we're just desperate to protect the people we love! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': And now ''I'm'' going to protect what ''I'' love. :''(Wan Shi Tong spreads his wings; the library starts to shake and flood with sand)'' :'''Aang''': What are you doing?! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm taking my knowledge back. No one will ever abuse it again! :'''Katara''': He's sinking the building! We've gotta get out of here! :'''Wan Shi Tong''': I'm afraid I can't allow that. You already know too much. (''shrieks and chases them'') ===The Desert=== :''(Both Sokka and Momo are hallucinating after drinking cactus juice)'' :'''Sokka''': Drink cactus juice, it'll quench ya. Nothing's quenchier. It's the quenchiest! :'''Katara''': ''[throws away the piece of cactus]'' Okay, I think you had enough. :'''Sokka''': Who lit Toph on fire? ''[Momo spins in a circle in the air and dive bombs to the ground.]'' :'''Toph''': Can I get some of that cactus? :'''Katara''': I don’t think that’s a good idea. Come on, we need to find Aang. ''[She and Toph walk on; when Sokka doesn't follow, Katara grabs him and drags him along with them]'' :'''Sokka''': How did we get out here in the middle of the ocean? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Aang confronts a group of sandbenders, including the ones who stole Appa]'' :'''Aang''': You tell me where he is, ''now''! :''[He obliterates one of the sand-sailers with airbending]'' :'''Sha-Mo''': ''[sternly, to his son]'' What did you ''do''?! :'''Gashiun''': I-It wasn't me! :'''Toph''': You said to put a muzzle on him! :'''Aang''': ''[enraged]'' You ''muzzled'' Appa?! :''[Aang enters the Avatar State; he smashes another of the sand-sailers]'' :'''Gashiun''': I'm sorry! I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar! :'''Aang''': ''[shouts with the voices of past Avatars]'' '''''TELL ME WHERE APPA IS!!''''' :'''Gashiun''': I-I traded him, to some merchants! He's... probably in Ba Sing Se by now. They were gonna sell him there. ''[Aang's glowing eyes narrow]'' Please, we'll escort you out of the desert! We'll help however we can! :''[A cyclone erupts around Aang, obscuring everything. Sokka grabs Toph's arm]'' :'''Sokka''': ''[to the sandbenders]'' Just get out of here! ''RUN!'' :''[Everyone flees from Aang, except Katara. As he rises off the ground, she approaches him and grabs his arm; he stares down at her, his face contorted with rage and grief. Katara pulls him back down to the ground. As the winds begin to die down, Sokka sees tears running from Aang's eyes as Katara hugs him]'' ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 1: The Serpent's Pass=== :''[Suki asks Sokka why he is being overprotective of her]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so hard to lose someone you care about. Something happened at the North Pole and I couldn't protect someone. I don't want anything like that to ever happen again. :'''Suki''': I lost someone I cared about. He didn't die. He just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave and funny... :'''Sokka''': ''(suspiciously)'' Who is this guy? Is he taller than me? :'''Suki''': ''(deadpan)'' No. He's about your height. :'''Sokka''': Is he better-looking? :'''Suki''': It ''is'' you, stupid! :'''Sokka''': Oh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Suki, you know about giant sea monsters, do something! :'''Suki''': Just because I live near the Unagi doesn't mean I'm an expert. :'''Sokka''': ''[picks up Momo and offers it to the Sea Serpent]'' Oh great and powerful sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank You. :'''Katara''': Sokka! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ===Journey to Ba Sing Se Part 2: The Drill=== :'''Mai''': She [Azula] can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I'm not going into that wall sludge juice. ''(Shudders, then closes hatch Katara, Sokka, and Ty Lee jumped into)'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Toph takes the group under ground]'' :'''Sokka''': It's so dark down here. I can't see a thing. :'''Toph''': (''Sarcastically'') Oh no, what a nightmare! :'''Sokka''': Sorry. ===City of Walls and Secrets=== <hr width="50%"/> :'''Toph''': Well, no offense to you simple country folk, but a real society crowd would spot you from a mile away. You've got no manners. :'''Katara''': Excuse me? I've got no manners? You're not exactly lady fancy fingers. :'''Toph''': ''[burps]'' I learned proper society behavior and chose to leave it. You never learned anything. And frankly, it's a little too late. :'''Sokka''': Ah-Ha, but you learned it. You could teach us. :'''Aang''': Yeah, I'm mastering every element. How hard could manners be? ''[grabs a nearby curtain and drapes it around himself like a robe, and begins talking in a very sophisticated manner]'' Good evening, Mr. Sokka Watertribe. Ms. Katara Watertribe. Lord Momo of the Momo Dynasty, your Momo-ness. :'''Sokka''': ''[in a fancy accent]'' Avatar Aang how you ''do'' go on! :''[Both of them take turns bowing then try to bow at the same time, but they knock each other's foreheads' together and fall backward]'' :'''Toph''': Katara might be able to pull it off, but you two would be lucky to pass as busboys. :'''Sokka''': But I feel so fancy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sokka''': Why won't you let us talk to the King?! We have information that could ''defeat'' the Fire Nation! :'''Long Feng''': The Earth King has no time to get involved in political squabbles and the day-to-day minutia of military activities. :'''Aang''': This could be the most important thing he's ever heard! :'''Long Feng''': What's ''most'' important to His Royal majesty is maintaining the ''cultural'' heritage of Ba Sing Se. All his duties relate to issuing decrees on such matters. It's ''my'' job to oversee the rest of the city's resources... including the military. :'''Katara''': So the King is just a figurehead. :'''Toph''': He's your puppet! :'''Long Feng''': Oh, no, no! His majesty is an icon, a ''god'' to his people. He can't sully his hands with the hourly changes of an endless war. :'''Sokka''': But we found out about a solar eclipse that will leave the Fire Nation defenseless! You could lead an invasion- :'''Long Feng''': ''[stands up] Enough.'' I don't want to hear your ridiculous plan. It is the strict policy of Ba Sing Se, that the war ''not'' be mentioned inside these walls. [As he speaks, the Dai Li are shown taking Jet to a secret facility]'' Constant news of an escalating war will throw the citizens of Ba Sing Se into a state of panic. :'''Jet''': ''[as the Dai Li strapped him into a chair]'' You have to believe me!? They're Firebenders!? They won't stop until they win the war!? :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' Calm down. You're safe now. ''[a light begins rotating in front of Jet at eye level]'' :'''Long Feng''': Our economy would be ruined. Our peaceful way of life, our traditions, would disappear. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet]'' There's no war in Ba Sing Se. :'''Jet''': What are you talking about?! Where do you think all the refugees come from? You can't hide it?! ''[The Dai Li gag him as the light continues to rotate]'' :'''Long Feng''': In silencing talk of conflict, Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia... the last one on Earth. :'''Dai Li Agent''': ''[to Jet, muffled]'' There is no war within the walls. Here, we are safe. Here, we are free. :'''Katara''': You can't keep the truth from all these people. They have to know! :'''Aang''': I'll tell them! I'll make sure everyone knows :'''Long Feng''': Until now, you've been treated as our honored guest. But from now on, you will be watched by Dai Li agents. If you mention the war to ''anyone'', you will be expelled from the city. I understand you've been looking for your bison? It would be quite a ''shame'' if you were unable to complete your quest. ''[Aang glares at him]'' Now, Joo Dee will show you home. ''[A different young woman enters, with an equally blank smile on her face, startling Team Avatar]'' :'''Young Woman''': Come with me, please. :'''Katara''': What happened to Joo Dee? :'''Young Woman''': ''I'm'' Joo Dee. I'll be your host as long as you're in our wonderful city. ===The Tales of Ba Sing Se=== :''(Katara opens a door and sees Toph lying facedown on the floor, asleep)'' :'''Katara''': Toph, aren't you gonna get ready for the day? :''(Toph wakes up, hair frazzled, and spits)'' :'''Toph''': I'm ready. :'''Katara''': Aren't you gonna clean up? You've got a little dirt on your....everywhere actually. :'''Toph''': You call it dirt. I call it a healthy coating of earth. <hr width="50%"/> :''(A mugger approaches Iroh in an alley)'' :'''Mugger''': You! Hand over your money! :''(Iroh looks down and notices the mugger's unstable stance)'' :'''Iroh''': What are you doing? :'''Mugger''': I'm mugging you! :'''Iroh''': With that stance?? :'''Mugger''': Wha… What are you talking about? Just give me your money, old man! :'''Iroh''': With a poor stance you are unbalanced and can be easily knocked over. :''(Iroh knocks mugger down and then helps him up)'' :'''Iroh''': With a solid stance you are a much more serious threat! ===Appa's Lost Days=== :''[Azula is talking to the Kyoshi warriors, who fight with fans]'' :'''Azula''': Who are you? The Avatar's ''fangirls''? :''[a short pause]'' :'''Ty Lee''': ...Oh! I get it! Good one Azula. <hr width="50%"/> ''[Mai pins a Kyoshi warrior to a tree with her shurikens]'' :'''Mai''': You're so colorful, it's making me ''nauseous''. (''launches darts at another warrior'') :''[Ty Lee unleashes a flurry of jabs into the back of a Kyoshi warrior, dropping her, and unleashes a final taunt]'' :'''Ty Lee''': You are ''not'' prettier than we are. ===Lake Laogai=== :'''Sokka''': Hey, I thought designing the "Lost Appa" poster was my job! I've been working all day on my Appa! :(''shows Katara and Aang his picture. Katara is visibly trying not to laugh.''') :'''Aang''': Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's ''head''. :'''Sokka''': This ''is'' his head! :'''Katara''': Why are ''feet'' coming out of it? :'''Sokka''': Those are his horns! I haven't seen him in a while, okay? :'''Toph''': It looks just like him to me. :'''Sokka''': Thank you, I worked really--[''breaks off, remembering that Toph is blind'']...Why do you feel the need to do that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': (looking at the tied-up Appa) Uncle? :'''Iroh''': (walks into the cell) So, the Blue Spirit? I wonder who could be behind that mask? :'''Zuko''': What are you doing here? :'''Iroh''': I was just about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar's bison? Keep it locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of ''tea'' for him?! :'''Zuko''': First I have to get it out of here. :'''Iroh''': And then ''what''?! You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole! You had him, and then you had nowhere to go! :'''Zuko''': I would've figured something out. :'''Iroh''': No! If his friends hadn't found you, you would have frozen to death! :'''Zuko''': ''(very angry)'' I know my own destiny, Uncle. :'''Iroh''': Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you? :'''Zuko''': Stop it, Uncle! I have to do this! :'''Iroh''': I'm ''begging'' you, Prince Zuko! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and What do ''you'' want? :'''Zuko''': ''(Yells in frustration and throws his Blue Spirit mask and swords down.)'' ===The Earth King=== :'''Sokka''': Looks like Long Feng is long gone! (''laughs'') Oh, I've been waiting to use that one! <hr width="50%"> :'''Toph''': I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see! ===The Guru=== <hr width80> :'''Guru Pathik''': The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. :'''Aang''': Like the four nations. :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. :'''Aang''': We're all connected. Everything is connected. <hr width80> :'''Aang''': This is the last chakra, isn't it? :'''Guru Pathik''': Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions. :'''Aang''': Let's do this! :'''Guru Pathik''': The thought chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. :''(Aang imagines various images and memories of Katara)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river, forgotten. :'''Aang''': ''(snapping out of his meditation)'' What? Why would I let go of Katara? I...I-I love her! :'''Guru Pathik''': Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe. :'''Aang''': Why would I choose ''cosmic energy'' over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her? Three chakras ago, that was a good thing! :'''Guru Pathik''': You ''must'' learn to let go. <hr width80> :'''Azula''': Oh, don't worry, let should to be now. ''[Ty Lee attacks Katara and grunts]'' So, Zuzu in the city too, I think it's times to the family reunion. :'''Aang''': I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara. :'''Guru Pathik''': Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must open ''all'' the chakras. Surrender yourself. :'''Aang''': Okay, I'll try. :'''Guru Pathik''': Now think of your attachments. And let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. :''(He meditates again, beginning to let Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glowing version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains and begins to run towards her.) :'''Karata''': '''LET ME GO!!''' :''(His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth)'' :'''Aang''': (shocked) Katara's in danger! I have to go! ''(Aang gets up and begins to runs off)'' :'''Guru Pathik''': No Aang! By choosing attachment you have this locked the chakra! If you leave now, you won't be able to enter the Avatar State ''at all''!? :'''Long Feng''': ''[disembodied] Enough, I don't want to your ridicolous plan.'' :''(After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off)'' <hr width80> :'''Yu''': It's another one her tricks!? :'''Xin Fu''': There's in a giant hole in a box. How is that trick?! :'''Toph''': It's not! It's a real deal! <hr width80> :'''Long Feng''': But you're not a Kyoshi Warrior, aren't you. Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. ===The Crossroads of Destiny=== :'''Aang''': Uh... :'''Guru''': If you leave now, you won't be able enter the Avatar state at all!? :'''Sokka''': Aang, are you okay? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Long Feng''': Now comes the part where I double cross you. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation princess! ''(The Dai Li don't move)'' I said arrest her! ''(The Dai Li don't move again; failed)'' What is wrong with you?! :'''Azula''': It's because they haven't made up their minds. They're waiting to see how this is going to end. :'''Long Feng''': What are you talking about? :'''Azula''': I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing, so you've had to struggle, and connive, and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne, and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know. ''(She sits on the throne)'' Well? ''[She and Long Feng lock eyes; after a long moment, Long Feng kneels before her]'' :'''Long Feng''': ... You've beaten me at my own game. :'''Azula''': Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zuko''': Uncle, I don't understand. What are you doing with the Avatar? :'''Aang''': ''[glares at him]'' Saving you, that's what. :''[Zuko starts to advance on him, but Iroh holds him back]'' :'''Iroh''': It's time we talked. ''[to Aang]'' Go help your other friends. We'll catch up with you. :''[Aang and Katara leave]'' :'''Zuko''': ''[not looking Iroh directly in the eye]'' Why, Uncle? :'''Iroh''': ''[seriously]'' You're not the man you used to be, Zuko. You are stronger, and wiser, and freer than you have ''ever'' been. And now you've come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose ''good''. :''[Iroh is suddenly immobilized by crystals, startling Zuko]'' :'''Azula''': ''[enters followed by two Dai Li Agents]'' I expected this kind of treachery from Uncle. But Zuko, ''Prince'' Zuko. You're a lot of things, but you aren't a traitor, are you? :'''Zuko''': Release him immediately! :'''Azula''':''[slyly]'' It's not too late for you, Zuko. You could still redeem yourself. :'''Iroh''': The kind of "redemption" she offers is not for you! :'''Azula''': ''[glares at him]'' Why don't you let ''him'' decide, Uncle? I need you, Zuko. I've plotted every move of this day, this glorious day in Fire Nation history, and the only way we win is ''together''. At the end of this day, you will have your honor back. You will have Father's love. You will have ''everything'' you want. :'''Iroh''': Zuko, I am begging you. Look into your heart and see what it is you truly want. :'''Azula''': You are free to choose. ''[she gestures for the Dai Li to leave, then pursues Aang and Katara, as Zuko considers his choice.]'' ==External links== [[Category:Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons]] 5do51cn58lojlaz1u4wtmhkjnmk2fci Steven Universe (season 2) 0 195793 3147455 3146160 2022-07-26T15:35:51Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* When It Rains */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} The following is a list of quotes from the second season of ''[[Steven Universe]]''. === ''Full Disclosure'' === :'''Greg''': I saw the spaceship starting to leave and then it crashed and I came back and— ''[sees Steven's black eye]'' Ugh, your eye... But you're okay! I guess those jerks were no match for the Crystal Gems! :'''Steven''': No way! They were super strong! :'''Greg''': But you were able to beat them back? :'''Steven''': No, they totally stomped us! This warrior Jasper was super beefy and knocked me unconscious. Then they abducted me onto the ship because they wanted to take me away forever, and then we crashed the ship and I almost died! ''[Greg freaks out]'' :'''Greg''': W-What do they want with you?! :'''Steven''': They think I'm Mom. :'''Greg''': Ar-are more Homeworld Gems gonna come after you?! :'''Steven''': I— uhh... I don't know. Maybe? :'''Greg''': Steven, I'm supportive and very proud of you... and I'll be right back. ''[runs into his van]'' Gotta calm down. Where's my— ''[brings a series of CDs up front]'' Where's my relaxing music CD?! This one? ''[inserts CD; starts blaring loud metal music]'' Wrong one!! Stop!! Eject!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Ronaldo''': Oh! I see... You come up here to brood too! :'''Steven''': Brood? :'''Ronaldo''': Yes, Steven. That's just what people like us do. Suffer quietly, shouldering the knowledge no one else can bear. :'''Steven''': Hm. :'''Ronaldo''': As an aficionado of the weird yourself, you've probably noticed ordinary people fear the cold leaded anchor of the truth. The abyss is no Sunday swan ride. :'''Steven''': I know! My dad flipped out when I told him! :'''Ronaldo''': Sounds typical. But it's a good reminder. This is no easy path we've chosen here. There are... sacrifices. Look at them all down there, Steven. It's our duty to let those simple people live out their simple lives, without ever knowing the burden of being friends with us. :'''Steven''': At least we can be there for each other. :'''Ronaldo''': Is that giant hand from the sky sitting right in the middle of the beach?! I gotta get some of this for my blog! <hr width="50%"> :'''Amethyst''': Aw, come on! :'''Garnet''': No whining. We need to start cleaning up the debris. :'''Pearl''': Garnet's right. People are already coming back into town! :'''Steven''': We've got to keep them off the beach. If any humans got access to Gem technology, ''[shuts blinds]'' they could really hurt themselves. Maybe we should shut them out... for good. :'''Pearl''': You know... we did once have a fence. Let's get a new one—with barbed wire! :'''Amethyst''': This time, let's build a moat. I could be... ''[shapeshifts her head]'' the crocodi-i-ile!! Jazz hands! :'''Garnet''': No. :'''Amethyst''': Why not? :'''Pearl''': You always say you'll be the crocodile, but you never commit! :'''Garnet''': No fence either. :'''Amethyst/Pearl''': Garnet! :'''Garnet''': Steven needs to see his father and his friends. :'''Steven''': No, I don't! I can't keep clinging to the vestiges of my humanity. It's time I got serious. ''[his phone starts ring-toning again]'' Errh! :'''Pearl''': Steven, why is your communication device playing that song? :'''Steven''': It's Connie, trying to call me... but I can't face her anymore. :'''Pearl''': So... you're just going to ignore her forever? :'''Steven''': It's the responsible thing to do. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sees thru blinds]'' It's gonna be hard, 'cause she's coming up the steps right now. :'''Steven''': What?! === ''Open Book'' === === ''Joy Ride'' === :'''Steven''': Family stuff is tricky. :'''Buck, Sour Cream, and Jenny''': Mmhm. :'''Steven''': A few months back, my dad and the Gems grounded me from TV. :'''Buck, Sour Cream, and Jenny''': That's the worst. / Bummer. / No way! :'''Steven''': And then I found out that the Gems are alien rebels and that there are other Gems out in space that want us dead 'cause they think we're traitors. And they tried to take me hostage 'cause they think I'm my mom. And... maybe I kinda am? ''[sighs]'' I wish I could talk to Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl about it, but... I think they kinda blame me for my mom not being around. :''[Buck, Sour Cream and Jenny are in a state of shock for a beat. Jenny turns off the radio]'' :'''Jenny''': That's heavy. :'''Steven''': I guess. <hr width=50%> :'''Garnet''': Steven... you're ungrounded from TV. === ''[[w:Say Uncle (Steven Universe)|Say Uncle]]'' === :'''Steven''': What am I doing wrong? The Gems can all summon ''their'' weapons, why can't I? ''[desperately]'' Isn't there somebody who can help me?! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Steven''': Oh my gosh! Uncle Grandpa! You're really here, I can't believe it! I mean… I literally can't believe it. How is this even possible?! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Don't worry, bro. None of this is canon. ''[pulls a real cannon out of Belly Bag]'' But this is! ''[launches his head like a cannonball with smoke trails spelling "APRIL FOOLS" and crashes into a ship with Lars and Sadie on it]'' :'''Lars''': Oh, no!! Our ship!! <hr width=50% /> :'''Amethyst''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': What's going on?! Who is this… stranger? :'''Steven''': He's not a stranger, he's Uncle Grandpa! :''[Uncle Grandpa honks his nose]'' :'''Amethyst''': "Uncle… Grandpa"? :'''Pearl''': So that would make him Greg's brother… ''and'' father? :'''Garnet''': That would explain a lot. <hr width=50% /> :'''Pizza Steve''': Oh hey, it's just me, Pizza Steve—just the coolest and tastiest Steve who ever lived. :'''Steven''': Hi, Pizza Steve! I'm a Steve too! Steven Universe. :'''Pizza Steve''': ''Stee''-ven Universe... ''[pops out on top of Steven's hair]'' Come on, Uncle G. I've got two rules—no more than 40 or 50 vans, and only '''ONE''' Steve allowed! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Yeah, but this Steven is special. :'''Mr. Gus''': Yeah. He's a Crystal Gem. :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Good mornin', Mr. Gus. :'''Mr. Gus''': What's up, Uncle Grandpa? :'''Steven''': Whoa, Mr. Gus! How do you know about me? :'''Mr. Gus''': I have a comprehensive knowledge of all magical denizens of the multiverse. I know ''ALL'' about the Crystal Gems. Come on, man, check this out. I even made my own Gemsona. ''[shows art of "Mr. Gusite"]'' My gem is on my tail, and my weapon is a fryin' pan. <hr width=50% /> :''[The Gems run frantically across the plot hole many times, stop for a breather]'' :'''Garnet''': There's got to be some way out of here. :'''Pearl''': ''[extremely panicked]'' WE'LL NEVER ESCAPE!!

''[Pizza Steve walks in dressed like Steven]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Lookin' for me, Pizza Steven Universe? ''[Pearl gasps, cowers behind Garnet]'' :'''Pearl''': That's not my baby! :'''Amethyst''': Ah, nice! ''[eyes on Pizza Steve]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Whoa, hold on! :'''Amethyst''': ''Pizzaaaaaa!!'' ''[chases Pizza Steve offscreen]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Don't eat Pizza Steve! ''[munching noises]'' :''[Amethyst walks back on, putting on Pizza Steve's sunglasses from out of her mouth]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay, I'm ready for this episode to end. :''[She stomps, causing the plot hole to crack and shatter, leaving them back at the beach]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': ''[after finally summoning his shield; to Uncle Grandpa]'' I did it, Uncle Grandpa! I really did it! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Yay. :'''Pearl''': Protecting HIM activated Steven's powers?! :'''Garnet''': He must really care about this stranger. :'''Amethyst''': I hope he didn't care about that pizza. :'''Steven''': Listen! It was a big, weird surprise when Uncle Grandpa showed up here today. We've never met anyone like Uncle Grandpa, but you can't just attack people you don't understand. You have to stick up for them, and listen to what they have to say. You guys always do that for me. :'''Pearl''': ''[blushing with tears in her eyes, feeling guilty and sorry]'' Steven, you're right. ''[cries]'' HOW CAN I BE SO BLIND?! I'M SORRY! :'''Amethyst''': I also apologize for Pearl. :'''Garnet''': Thank you, you taught us a valuable lesson, Uncle Grandpa. <hr width=50% /> :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Boy, that sure makes my eyes hurt. Now let's see here... ''[grabs a checklist revealing several other Cartoon Network protagonists]'' Dexter, Dee-dee, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Billy, Mandy, Mac, Juniper Lee, Swat Kats, Flapjack, Finn, Oh! Steven! ''[checks off Steven's name]'' Now who's next? ''[Clarence's name is shown at the bottom of the list]'' === ''Story for Steven'' === === ''Shirt Club '' === :''[Steven rushes to the Beach House]'' :'''Steven''': Garnet! Amethyst! Pearl! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': What is it?! :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, where's the fire? :'''Steven''': It's an emergency! You have to help me take down all the shirts and stop Buck from making more! :'''Pearl''': Have the shirts come to life and and possessed the bodies of their wearers?! :'''Steven''': Uh, no! They just— :'''Amethyst''': Are people catching on fire when they put on the magic shirts? :'''Steven''': No! No, they're just— :'''Pearl''': Are the shirts destroying the wearer's will to continue on in this mortal coil, thereby shutting down Beach City!?! :'''Steven''': ''NOOOOO''!!! They're— they're just... using my art in a way I don't agree with. :'''Pearl''': Oh. ''[all Gems sit down]'' :'''Garnet''': Ah, we'll pass. :'''Steven''': What?! But— but I really need your help! :'''Pearl''': Steven, this sounds like a very abstract problem. :'''Amethyst''': It's not something we can ''punch''! :'''Garnet''': You must learn to help yourself. That's how you become stronger. ''[shades sparkle]'' :'''Amethyst/Pearl''': Good point, good point. / Oh, absolutely. :'''Steven''': But..! :'''Amethyst''': You figure something ''out'', Steven! :'''Pearl''': Yes! Why not dust off those conflict resolution skills? :'''Garnet''': Let your problem be known, then you can work towards an understanding. :'''Steven''': Oh... I'll make them understand. I'll make them all understand... ''[leaves]'' :'''Amethyst''': Eh, he'll be fine. === ''Love Letters'' === :''[Steven and Connie meet Jamie sitting on a log in the beach]'' :'''Steven''': Jamie! :'''Jamie''': Oh, hey, Connie and Steven. You guys come out here to stare at the ocean and think about life too? :'''Connie''': Uhh, no...? We came to, uh— :'''Jamie''': Yeah, life is crazy. One day, you're right here in Beach City delivering mail and then the next thing you know... you're on a bus to Kansas, following your dreams of becoming an actor. "Follow your dreams," they said. But no one said anything about all the rejection and sadness there was to be found. So many auditions day after day... So much rejection day after day... That's why I came back. ''[two seagulls crash into each other and fall into the sea]'' One more rejection would have destroyed my fragile heart. ''[sobs, chuckles]'' Sorry... sometimes I get caught up in the drama zone, you know? :'''Steven''': Yeah, right... Drama zone. :'''Connie''': Oh, by the way, we have something for yo— :'''Steven''': No, we don't! <hr width=50%> :'''Garnet''': I didn't mean to upset you. :'''Jamie''': Then will you go out with me? :'''Garnet''': No! :'''Jamie''': But I've loved you since the moment I saw you. :'''Garnet''': Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time and love takes work. At the very least, you have to know the other person. And you literally have no idea who or what I am. ''[shades glimmer]'' :'''Jamie''': But I bloom for you like— like a... camellia... under moonlight? :'''Garnet''': No, you don't! ''[long beat]'' You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children. ''[adjusts her shades]'' You even convinced yourself. ''[smiling]'' You're a fantastic actor. :'''Jamie''': ''[beat]'' ..What am I supposed to do now? :'''Garnet''': Start with local theater. ''[slaps Jamie's back, then walks away. Connie and Steven walk closer to him]'' :'''Connie''': Are you okay? :'''Jamie''': Yeah. That was some pretty solid advice. :'''Steven''': Were those more letters you wrote to Garnet? :'''Jamie''': No. That was the mail I was supposed to deliver on my last route. :'''Steven''': ''[beat]'' We'll help you pick it all up. :'''Jamie''': Thanks. === ''Reformed'' === :'''Garnet''': This is not a good choice for your form. :'''Amethyst''': Lighten up, Garnet. Can't you take a joke? :'''Garnet''': It's not funny. You've made yourself ridiculous. :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''''RIDICULOUS?!?!'''''</big> :'''Garnet''': Keep your voice down! The creature... :'''Amethyst''': Hrrr... You wanted me to be more like Pearl, and now I am!! :'''Garnet''': ''[low voice]'' Pearl would've taken her regeneration seriously! :'''Amethyst''': WHAT DO YOU CARE!?! MY FORM IS '''''MY'' BUSINESS!!''' :'''Garnet''': It's my business when it affects the strength of the team!! :'''Amethyst''': ..So what?! I'm not strong enough?! ''[gets dragged by the Slinker]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst! :'''Amethyst''': '''ARE YOU SAYING... <big>I'M ''WEAK''</big>?!?!''' ''[poofs again; Steven catches her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Is it weird I'm getting numbed to this? === ''[[w:Sworn to the Sword|Sworn to the Sword]]'' === :'''Connie''': ''[fights off seagulls with her violin bow]'' Run back to your masters! Tell them we're not afraid of your kind! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks for saving my jam snack. Unfortunately, it's not safe from me. ''[munches it]'' You're such a good sword fighter, Connie. :'''Connie''': Really? I was just swinging this thing around. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'd love to learn how to use a real sword! :'''Steven''': Oh! ''[gulps snack; starry eyes]'' Steven has an idea! :''[back at the Beach House]'' :'''Pearl''': You want me to do ''what''?! :'''Steven''': You should teach Connie to sword fight, she's already so good! :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': But you are! Y-You helped me fight the robot floaty-thing, she took down that evil clone of herself, uh... those mean seagulls just now? :'''Pearl''': You're awfully young to begin something like this. But I suppose I was only a few thousand years old when I began fighting alongside Rose Quartz. ''[Connie raises her hand]'' Yes, Connie? :'''Connie''': Please! I want to learn! I mean, I don't know what'll happen in the future. But if something dangerous comes along... I don't wanna be a burden, I wanna help! I want to be there for Steven to fight by his side! The Earth is my home too. Can't I help protect it? ''[Pearl starts watering tears of joy]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh... okay... If that's how you feel... we should get started! :'''Steven''': Woo-hoo! ''[runs after her laughing]'' :'''Connie''': Wait, now? <hr width=50%> :'''Pearl''': All right, everything begins with your stance. Remember: :''[singing] You do it for him, and you would do it again'' :''You do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him.'' :''Keep your stance wide, keep your body lowered'' :''As you're moving forward, balance is the key'' :''Right foot, left foot, now go even faster'' :''And as you're moving backwards, keep your eyes on me.'' :'''Connie''': ''Keep my stance wide'' ("Good.") :''Keep my body lowered'' ("Right.") :''As I'm moving forward'' :'''Pearl''': ''Concentrate! Don't you want him to live?!'' :'''Connie''': ''Right foot, left foot'' :'''Pearl''': ''Yes, but put your whole body into it!'' :''Everything you have, everything you are'' :''You've got to give.'' :''On the battlefield, when everything is chaos'' :''And you have nothing but the way you feel, your strategy and a sword'' :''You just think about the life you'll have together after the war'' :''And then you do it for her, that's how you know you can win'' :''You do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him.'' <hr width=25%> :''Deep down, you know you weren't built for fighting'' :''But that doesn't mean you're not prepared to try'' :''What they don't know is your real advantage'' :''When you live for someone, you're prepared to die.'' :'''Connie''': ''Deep down, I know that I'm just a human'' ("True.") :'''Both''': ''But I/you know that I/you can draw my/your sword and fight'' :'''Connie''': ''With my short existence,'' ("Good.")

That is the funniest thing I've ever heard! :'''Garnet''': Garnet, master of comedy. :'''Amethyst''': Hehehe... Yo, Steven. ''[pretend-yells]'' '''WHY ARE YOU STANDING THERE ALL SAD LIKE THAT?!?!''' :'''Steven''': W-well... Connie is taking sword fighting lessons from Pearl, but I think it's getting a little too serious. She wants Connie to do all this dangerous stuff for me. :'''Garnet''': That makes sense. :'''Steven''': What do you mean? :'''Garnet''': Back during the war, Pearl took pride in risking her destruction for your mother. She put Rose Quartz over everything — over logic, over consequence, over her own life. :''[Pearl and Rose switch to Connie and Steven, respectively. She charges at the enemy before cutting to Steven's horrified face]'' :'''Amethyst''': You okay, dude? :'''Steven''': I have to do something!! Thanks for telling me that, bye!! === ''Rising Tides, Crashing Skies'' === :'''RonaIdo''': I am now going to attempt to make contact with the mysterious, reclusive, ''[Steven comes out]'' and—ahh! :'''Steven''': Hi, Ronaldo! Uh, hi, Peedee. Is that a camera? :'''Peedee''': Yeah. We're making a movie about— :'''RonaIdo''': It's an investigative report, shot ''[[w:cinéma vérité|camera vérité]]''. :'''Steven''': Cool! :'''RonaIdo''': So... you wanna participate in a groundbreaking interview? :'''Steven''': Hmm. Only if ''you'' participate in a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade! ''[walks back inside]'' :''[cue Ronaldo and Steven in the Beach House]'' :'''Steven''': Ohh, that giant hand? It was a spaceship coming to get us. :'''RonaIdo''': Us?! I knew it! Steven, we know too much! :'''Steven''': No, not "us" us. I-I meant me and the Crystal Gems. :'''RonaIdo''': Wait. So the hand wasn't here to snatch up humans for a human zoo? Or interfere with our subsidized Beach City wind farm?! Or thaw the cryogenically frozen pets of the one percent!?! :'''Steven''': Uh... no, I'm pretty sure it came to Beach City for me and the Crystal Gems. :'''RonaIdo''': Oh. So, if you and the Crystal Gems weren't here, we wouldn't have been attacked by the giant hand? :'''Steven''': Ohh-hoh-hoh! Definitely not. === ''Keeping It Together'' === :'''Pearl''': Garnet, you don't think Peridot would come looking for us, do you? :'''Garnet''': We weren't her priority. She was sent here to do something in the Kindergarten. :'''Pearl''': Do you think she's still going to try to reactivate it? :'''Garnet''': Mm. If she gets it back up and running, the Injectors will turn back on. :'''Steven''': Injectors? What're those? :'''Pearl''': You've already seen them. ''[projects hologram from her gemstone]'' Well, you've seen them disabled. If Peridot reactivates them, they'll pick right up where they left off, planting gems in the crust of the Earth, where they'll incubate and suck the life right out of the ground. We can't let Peridot restart Gem production here. If we do... ''[sighs]'' the entire planet will become… :'''Garnet''': Janked. :'''Amethyst''': Garnet! ''[laughs]'' That mouth! ''[sniggers]'' :'''Garnet''': Don't worry. We'll stop her. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': We did it! Garnet? :'''Garnet/Ruby'''! So ''this'' is what Homeworld thinks of fusion! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': We couldn't have known they would do this. :'''Garnet/Ruby''': ''This'' is where they've been…all the ones we couldn't find… they've been here the whole time! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': Rose couldn't have known. :'''Garnet/Ruby''': This is punishment for the rebellion! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': ''[breaking down]'' It's not our fault! :'''Steven''': Garnet! :'''Garnet''': S-Steven. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sliding down with Pearl]'' Yo! We're back. :'''Pearl''': Garnet, we lost Peridot. Her fingers were too fast for us. ''[two fused hands climb up on Amethyst and grabs them]'' Um… what are these things? :'''Garnet''': PUT THEM DOWN! :'''Steven''': Uh! :'''Pearl''': Wha...? ''[throws the hands away]'' :'''Garnet''': We need to poof and bubble all of them. We can't let any escape. ''[She poofs the hands as the screen turns black]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': What Homeworld did… taking the shattered parts of fallen Gems and combining them—those Gems weren't asked permission. Fusion is a choice. Those Gems weren't given a choice. It isn't right. It isn't fusion! <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven looks at Garnet as he takes the clothes out the dryer into the basket]'' :'''Steven''': What's it like... being a fusion? :'''Garnet''': You fused. :'''Steven''': I mean, like, all the time. Do you forget who you used to be? :'''Garnet''': You forget you were ever alone. You know when you fuse, you don't feel like two people. You feel like one being. And your old names might as well be names for your left arm, and your right. :'''Steven''': When you split up, is it like you disappear? :'''Garnet''': I embody my— I mean, Ruby and Sapphire's love. I always exist in them, even if I split apart. But the strength of that love keeps me together, so I can stay Garnet for a very long time. :'''Steven''': That's why you're so great! :'''Garnet''': ''[smiles]'' Ha. ''[Steven starts laughing, with a light blue colored sock being blown away]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no! ''[Garnet catches it]'' :'''Garnet''': Don't wanna break up a pair. :'''Steven''': ''[holds peach colored sock]'' Yeah, you're right. ''[Garnet folds socks into basket]'' They belong together. === ''We Need to Talk'' === :''[Greg re-watches Pearl and Rose's fusion dance, practices and falls down]'' :'''Greg''': Ah, geez! How'd she get her legs to do that? ''[groans]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hey! ''[looks at face-to-face with Garnet]'' Are you dead? :'''Greg''': Wha? Uh, no, no. I'm alive. :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, cool! ''[jumps over Greg, runs to the TV]'' It's us from before! :'''Greg''': Yeah, I was just... trying to get my head around this fusion dance. :'''Amethyst''': A fusion dance ain't about your head! ''[laughs out loud]'' :'''Greg''': Wait... you guys are Gems. You gotta help me out here. I need to be able to fuse with Rose! :'''Garnet''': First, you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Then you need the partner who you trust with that light. :'''Greg''': Metaphorically? :'''Garnet''': Literally. :'''Amethyst''': ''[whispers]'' Shh! Come on! I still wanna see him try! :'''Greg''': Ugh, so it's true. I really can't do it. ''[touches his face]'' I'm kidding myself with this! I'm never gonna be a Gem... ''[Garnet looks down and picks up a twig]'' :'''Garnet''': Amethyst... give us some privacy! ''[throws it far away]'' :'''Amethyst''': YEAH!! ''[scampers after it]'' :'''Garnet''': Let me tell you something, Mr. Universe. I think you can do it, but it won't work if you dance like Pearl. You have to dance like you. You have to fuse ''your'' way. Get open. Get honest. Invent yourselves together. ''[lowers her shades and winks left of her three eyes]'' That's fusion. :'''Greg''': EYE—think I get it. === ''Chille Tid'' === :'''Steven''': "Sleep is a curse, and yet a curse I need to live"—Steven Universe. ---- :'''Garnet''': Let me show you how it's done. ''(She falls over, stiff as a board)'' :'''Pearl''': That's pretty convincing. ---- :'''Steven''': Lapis! :'''Lapiz Lazuli''': No. I'm ''not'' Lapis anymore. We're Malachite now. === ''[[w:Cry for Help (Steven Universe)|Cry for Help]]'' === :'''Garnet''': It's as I feared. :''[The Communication Hub is glowing and shooting a beam of light towards the sky]'' :'''Pearl''': It looks like Peridot somehow repaired the Communication Hub. Well, at least some of it. :'''Steven''': So... we just gotta wreck it up again, right? (''to Amethyst'') You guys should form Sugilite! :'''Amethyst''': (''smiling a bit'') Yeah... Well, it's up to Garnet, I guess. (''smiling widely, to Garnet'') What do you say? ''[Pearl looks scared in the background]'' Shall we mash it up?... :'''Garnet''': No. :'''Amethyst''': But, don't we need to be huge like last time? :'''Garnet''': Last time was a disaster. Last time we fused, Sugilite went berserk. It's because of her that we can't even warp here anymore. (''takes off her visor'') I can be brash, you can be reckless. And we can both get carried away. So, for the time being, ''[She puts her visor back on and Amethyst's reflection can be seen in them]'' Sugilite is benched. What we need now is to be careful. ''[Steven gasps]'' It's you and me, Pearl. Let's fuse. ''[Pearl looks astonished as she begins to tear up]'' Don't cry, Pearl. ''[Pearl tries to not cry and quivers as she strongly breathes in through her nose, sniffling thickly]'' Come on, let's do this. :'''Pearl''': I'm right behind you. (''sniffling'') :'''Steven''': (''running towards them'') Woo-hoo! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! *sits to the left of Lion* (''Amethyst walks over'') :'''Garnet''': (''gemstones glow'') Ready. :'''Pearl''': (''grunts; stretches'') Hang on, it's been such a long time. ---- :'''Sardonyx''': Gooooood evening, everybody! (''struts over to Lion, Steven, and Amethyst and does a twirl'') This is the lovely Sardonyx! Coming to you ''a-live'' from the soon-to-be-former Communication Hub! How are y'all doin' tonight? :'''Amethyst''': (''sarcastically'') Great... :'''Steven''': (''gasps'') Giant woman! ---- :'''Amethyst''': ''Maybe you're better off with her / I think she's better for you / I forgot how great it felt to be us / Guess I got carried away. / I had to use you to make me feel strong / But I don't care about that now / I see a tower built out of my mistakes / And it all comes crashing down. / Is there something I can doo-oo / Is there something I can doo-oo-oo / Is there something I can doo-oo / Can I make it up to you?'' ---- :'''Amethyst''': Stop! :'''Pearl''': Is something the matter, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': You... you shouldn't. :'''Steven''': Pearl, we saw you. :'''Pearl''': (''shocked'') What? :'''Steven''': You need to tell Garnet it was you! :'''Garnet''': I don't understand. :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry. It's just... so much fun being Sardonyx with you. :'''Garnet''': ''[drops Pearl to the ground]'' ''That's'' why I couldn't see us finding Peridot. :'''Pearl''': Wait, let me explain! :'''Garnet''': You've been fixing the hub! :'''Pearl''': It really was Peridot! The first time. :'''Garnet''': You ''tricked'' me! :'''Pearl''': No! No, no, no, no! We just needed a reason to fuse! I just wanted to share a few more victories with you! :'''Garnet''': Those weren't ''victories''! :'''Amethyst''': Wait, Garnet! You know, we're so much weaker than you! Fusing with you is like our one chance to feel... ''stronger''! :'''Garnet''': Don't defend her! Peridot is out there somewhere and Pearl's been distracting us with... ''nothing''! :'''Pearl''': Garnet... :'''Garnet''': ''[angrily points at her]'' That's enough! ''[to Amethyst]'' Amethyst, fuse with me! :'''Amethyst''': But-! :'''Garnet''': (''clenching her fist'') Let's just get this over with. === ''Keystone Motel'' === :'''Steven''': Pearl! Where have you been?! :'''Pearl''': Looking for Peridot… For a few days straight. Steven, I know I might have… disappointed all of you. I know Garnet's very upset with me. But I'm going to prove to her that she can trust me again. ''[Garnet walks in through the front door]'' Oh! Garnet! I was just looking for Peridot! She's bound to be somewhere, right? Any new ideas? ''[Garnet says nothing and walks past her]'' I'm sorry ---- :'''Garnet''': ''[agitated, panting]'' Calm down... I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!... You don't understand, you must... If you're not going to listen, then you can just GO! ''[splits into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': ''[calmly]'' We must move past this, Ruby. :'''Ruby''': ''[furiously]'' She ''lied'' to us so we'd form Sardonyx! She ''tricked'' us! Don't you feel used?! :'''Sapphire''': You're choosing to take it personally. :'''Ruby''': IT'S ''FUSION'', SAPPHIRE! WHAT'S MORE PERSONAL TO US THAN ''FUSION?!'' :'''Sapphire''': I know you're still upset... :'''Ruby''': Oh, so it's just me?! :'''Sapphire''': Of course not. Can't you see I'm completely engulfed with rage? :'''Ruby''': Well, it doesn't feel like it! :'''Sapphire''': The sooner we forgive Pearl, the better it will be for us all. :'''Ruby''': YOU'RE NOT AS ABOVE THIS AS YOU THINK YOU ARE! ---- :'''Sapphire''': ''[about Ruby, while she shakes the table]'' This will pass. She'll eventually just burn herself out. :'''Ruby''': ''[angrily]'' THAT'S WHAT ''YOU'' THINK! '''I AM AN ETERNAL FLAME, BABY!''' ''[flips the table]'' :''[while Greg talks to Steven, arguing with each other simultaneously]'' :'''Ruby''': You don't know me! :'''Sapphire''': How could I possibly not know you? We always fuse! We always fuse, what are you even going on about fusion? :'''Ruby''': Look at you! ''[laughing]'' You don't even know yourself! Ha! :'''Sapphire''': So don't act so ridiculous. :'''Ruby''': ''I'm'' ridiculous?! :'''Sapphire''': Yes, yes. ---- :'''Steven''': I was so happy when Garnet said she wanted to go on this trip with me and Dad! Home's been awful! Here's been awful! I thought you wanted to have a fun time, but everyone's been acting awful too! It... it just came with us! I don't understand! Is it... is it me? :'''Ruby''': ...No! Steven, it's all us! :'''Sapphire''': But we made him feel like it was his fault... I keep looking into the future, when all of this has already been solved, as if it doesn't matter how you feel in the present! ''[starting to cry]'' No wonder you think I don't care...! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... No, nonononono! This is all my fault, I... I didn't want to look for a solution, I... I just wanted to be mad! You're right! You're always right! I was being stupid! :'''Sapphire''': I don't think you're stupid! :'''Ruby''': I'm... sorry. ''[gently brushes Sapphire's hair aside, revealing her sad eye]'' :'''Sapphire''': You honestly think I'm not upset about what happened? I was just... trying to do the right thing. :'''Ruby''': I know... ''[starts smiling]'' You know what's nice about being split up? :'''Sapphire''': What? :'''Ruby''': I get to look at you... :'''Sapphire''': ''[pushes her off, laughing]'' Be serious! :'''Ruby''': ''[hugs Sapphire]'' There's my Laughy Sapphy! :'''Sapphire''': Shh! You're embarrassing me in front of Steven! ''[cut to Steven, feeling awkward at the scene]'' === ''Historical Friction'' === :'''Steven''': Hey, Pearl! ''[sees a desolate Pearl sitting on the couch, looking at the ceiling]'' Pearl? :'''Pearl''': ''[jumps up]'' Steven! You're back! :'''Steven''': Yeah... ''[sits down]'' Show business is rough. :'''Pearl''': Is there something I can help you with? :'''Steven''': Not unless you can make William Dewey interesting. :'''Pearl''': How do ''you'' know William Dewey? :'''Steven''': I'm gonna be him in this play! But he's totally boring! He's perfect and he never makes mistakes. :'''Pearl''': ''[sigh]'' Wish I could say the same for myself. :'''Steven''': Yeah, but nobody's like that! Everybody gets stuff wrong, and then you have to keep going and it's hard, which is why it's great when you never stop trying! :'''Pearl''': ..When did you get so smart? === ''Friend Ship'' === :''[Steven and the Gems enter a room in the ship. Peridot appears on a projected screen]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[laughs]'' You Gems really are as dull as dirt! :'''Pearl''': You're the dull one if you thing you can fly this wreck! :'''Peridot''': ''[pauses]'' What? Can you speak louder? Some of these communicators are gunked up. :'''Steven''': ''[cleans off a microphone, speaks into it]'' Pearl says ''you're'' the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck! :'''Peridot''': ''[waits for Steven's response to come through] [laughs]'' Fly? I'm not using this vessel to fly. I'm using it to '''''TRAP YOU!''''' ''[a door closes, trapping Steven and the Gems in the room]'' Isn't this nice? No more Crystal Gems running around, messing with my plans, destroying my things. Looks like I've got you just where I want you. How does it feel to be so easily outsmarted, you '''''CLODS?!''''' :'''Pearl''': No... :'''Amethyst''': ''[speaks into the microphone]'' Hey, uh, this is Amethyst. I don't appreciate being called a clod, you clo- :'''Peridot''': Enough talk! Prepare yourselves for annihilation! ''[dramatically hits a button]'' Hiyah! ''[nothing happens, hits it again]'' Hiyah! :''[the room's laser cannons activate and take aim at Steven and the Gems]'' :'''Peridot''': It works! Yes! '''''DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIIIIE!''''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Pearl, stop. That isn't helping. :'''Pearl''': I have to do something. I can't believe I walked us right into Peridot's trap. This is all my… ''[Peridot's hologram disappears as the ground starts to shake]'' fault? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': ''[thru screen]'' Garnet… I'm sorry! :'''Amethyst''': Wait a sec! :'''Pearl''': Things weren't supposed to turn out this way... ''[inside, Garnet punches the wall again]'' :'''Garnet''': We'll get outta here somehow. :'''Pearl''': ''[sighs]'' That's not what I mean! I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did... ''[Garnet withdraws her gauntlets]'' I wanted to prove to you that... that everything could go back to normal... :'''Garnet''': Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal. ''[thru screen]'' This isn't about Peridot. :'''Amethyst''': Hey... they're actually talking! :'''Steven''': Now they can finally work things out! :''[soon, the gears start to activate and turn and start closing into the trapped two]'' :'''Amethyst''': Not if they get crushed! :''[both Garnet and Pearl push their unflinching sides]'' :'''Pearl''': Please! Tell me! How can I make you forgive me?! :'''Garnet''': You can't! You lied to me! You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions! :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry! I... I couldn't help myself! :'''Garnet''': ''[kicks opposite side of wall next to Pearl]'' I don't want to hear your excuses! :'''Pearl''': But it's true! No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl. I'm useless on my own. ''[cries]'' I need someone to tell me what to do. :''[the walls suddenly stop moving; Both Amethyst and Steven pull her whip on its gears in its place. Garnet and Pearl pause for a beat]'' :'''Pearl''': When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you. Confident and secure, and complete. You're perfect. You're the perfect relationship. You're always together, I just... I wanted to be a part of that. :'''Garnet''': You're wrong! I'm not as strong as you think. I fell apart over this. Ruby and Sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me. ''[thru screen]'' I came undone. :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, that really happened? :'''Steven''': ''[nods]'' Hm. :'''Garnet''': It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too, but I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone. Please understand, Pearl. ''[thru screen]'' You have an impact too. ''[inside]'' There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your ''own'' gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again. :'''Pearl''': I understand. I can't give up anymore! :'''Garnet''': Good. === ''Nightmare Hospital'' === :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': ''[sighs]'' I had a rough day at work and I'm not in the mood for any more surprises. :'''Connie''': Whatsyjf happened at work? :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': There was a really strange case at the hospital today, straight out of a ''nightmare''. ''[beat]'' Oh, don't worry, the rules of doctor-patient confidentiality keep me from sharing the graphic details, but... Hang on a moment. When did we get a coat rack? :'''Connie''': Oh, no... :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': A ''SWORD''?! Connie, where did you get this?! :'''Steven''': I-it's— :'''Connie''': I found it! I just... found it outside and I wanted to show it to Steven. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': How could you possibly think this is okay?! :'''Connie''': It's— :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Do you know how many children I see everyday in the hospital who've cut their faces off playing with swords?! :'''Connie''': I— :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': NONE!! Because they all have parents who love them, and who don't let them play around with deadly weapons like some kind of gang member! No playing with swords, under any circumstances! ''[her cell phone rings, answers it]'' This is Dr. Maheswaran. Yes, calm down, Stromberg. Another one? :'''Steven''': ''[to Connie]'' Is she gonna give it back? :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': All right, I'll-I'll be right there. ''[zips sword in duffle bag]'' I have to go to the hospital. I'll have a talk with your father to calculate just how grounded you are. ''[leaves, comes back]'' And we're using the abacus! ''[leaves again]'' :'''Connie''': I ''hate'' that abacus. Steven, I'm so sorry. She took your mother's sword! :'''Steven''': Maybe we can get her to change her mind? :'''Connie''': She never ''ever'' changes her mind. We've got to get that sword back ourselves. <hr width=50%> :'''Connie''': Mom... I'm really sorry about lying to you. It started off as a tiny secret, and then I felt like if I didn't hide it, you wouldn't let me see Steven ever again. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Is that how you feel? Are we too controlling? :'''Connie''': ..Maybe. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': I just wanted to be a good mother. I... I just wanted to protect you. :'''Connie''': I can protect myself now! ''[Dr. Maheswaran pauses for a long beat, sighs]'' :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Okay. ''[Connie winces]'' We'll... pull back on the rules, and I'll try to keep an open mind about ''[Connie's lenses]'' this, and ''[Lion]'' that, and... him. ''[Steven stays frightened]'' It scares me that you can't talk to me. I need to know what's happening in your life. I... I need to step in when you're in over your head. Would you just promise me you'll stop all this lying? :'''Connie''': ''[beat]'' That's a rule. ''[they embrace each other]'' :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': I love you, honey. :'''Connie''': I love you too, Mom. === ''Sadie's Song'' === :'''Sadie''': Please, Mom. Don't make me do this. :'''Barb''': Make you? You said you wanted to sing. :'''Sadie''': Yeah! I did! I did! I did, I did. Just like I say lots of things like, "Hey, Mom. Swimming looks fun", then bam! Suddenly, I'm anchoring a 400 meter relay for the Beach City Seals. "Hey, Mom. I thought signing up for softball would be nice." 6 birthdays later, I'm still getting nothing but kneepads and batting helmets. "Hey, Mom. I wanna sing at this year's Beachapalooza", and what do I get? THIS! I just thought, for once, I get to do things my way, but you came in and took over everything like you always do. :'''Barb''': I just wanted everyone to know how talented my daughter is. :'''Sadie''': THIS is not your daughter. :'''Barb''': ''[stunned]'' I'm sorry. === ''Catch and Release'' === :'''Steven''': ''[getting padded by Peridot]'' Why are you acting like this?! :'''Peridot''': You smashed me into a limbless cloud, you trapped me in your bubble dungeon, and you called me... ''cute''! ''[Steven evades her punch, face-flat on the floor]'' :'''Steven''': I didn't poof you! I freed you! ''[Peridot turns back]'' :'''Peridot''': Why would you make such a miscalculation? :'''Steven''': Back at the warp pad, what were you trying to say? Why do we need you? What do you know? :'''Peridot''': What do I know? Everything there is to know about the Cluster, you pebble! :'''Steven''': Cluster? Wait, pebble? :'''Peridot''': My mission. The reason why I'm on this sad rock in the first place! I was to check progress on the Cluster! Just in and out, before it hatches. I wasn't supposed to get stuck here! But now it's going to emerge and nothing can stop it, and we'll all be shattered!! :'''Steven''': Okay, okay, wait, slow down. Now, from the top—emerging, hatching, Clusters? :'''Peridot''': You wanna know? :'''Steven''': Yes. :'''Peridot''': You ''really'' wanna know? :'''Steven''': Yes? <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[in bathroom]'' Hmm... Seems I've discovered some sort of archaic... think chamber. Roomy, with a fresh hint of Earth citrus. ''[lifts toilet seat]'' A perfect crossroads for my escape. :'''Amethyst''': ''[fiddling the bathroom doorknob]'' It's locked. :'''Garnet''': Peridot, open the door! ''[flushing sounds are heard]'' :'''Amethyst''': Uh, if you're trying to flush yourself down the toilet, it ''won't'' work. ''[cut to Peridot spinning inside the toilet bowl]'' Trust me, I've tried. :'''Pearl''': How did she get out?! We bubbled her! :'''Amethyst''': Maybe we needed a bigger bubble. :'''Garnet''': My bubbles are fine. :'''Steven''': ''[sweating nervously]'' I did it. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' Steven, why would you do such a thing?! <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': I'm tired of playing these games. If we can't fight her, fine. We'll talk. Peridot! :'''Peridot''': ''[slips off the sink]'' Whoa! :'''Garnet''': All right, no more fighting. Let's just have a civil conversation. :'''Peridot''': As if I'd negotiate with you, filthy war machine! :'''Garnet''': ''[summons gauntlets]'' Okay, let's kick her butt. :'''Steven''': Wait! :'''Peridot''': Yeah! Destroy me again! ''[hangs on bath curtain pole with a plunger]'' And have fun trying to talk to me when I'm in a ''bubble''! ''[almost slips off]'' :'''Pearl''': I really hate to say it, but unfortunately if she has information, she's more valuable to us like… this. :'''Garnet''': This is going to be tricky. ''[hear knobs turning, water splashing]'' :'''Peridot''': H-h-hot hot hot!! :'''Steven''': You have to turn the knob the other way for cold! ''[later in the kitchen with the Gems]'' Wait, so we're just gonna let her live in my bathroom? :'''Pearl''': Well, yes. What other option do we have? Keep her outside on a leash? === ''When It Rains'' === :'''Garnet''': ''[banging on the bathroom door]'' Open the door, Peridot! If this "Cluster" is putting us in danger, you need to tell us what it is so we can stop it! :'''Peridot''': No! I hate you! I'm not telling you anything about the Cluster! :'''Amethyst''': Oh, come on. Is it like a big, hunk of granola? :'''Peridot''': What's granola? :'''Pearl''': I'm sure it's not granola. Now, Peridot, I'm sure we can reach some sort of agreement. Perhaps a trade is in order? :'''Peridot''': Oh, sure. Why don't you just give me back my leg enhancements and my arm attachments with my screen and my log and all my information. Oh, wait, YOU DESTROYED THEM! So, no, I don't think we can reach some sort of agreement! :'''Steven''': ''[flushing the toilet]'' Okay, Peridot, you can turn around now. ''[exits the bathroom, clears throat]'' Sorry for interrupting your interrogation. :'''Garnet''': Don't worry about it, Steven. :'''Pearl''': I swear, Peridot is gonna crack any second now. :'''Peridot''': I'll ''never'' crack for the likes of you, you… Crystal Clods! ''[laughs]'' :'''Pearl''': ''[angrily]'' Ooh, I got your clods right here, you little…! :'''Garnet''': ''[puts her hand on her shoulder]'' Hold on, Pearl. If she's not gonna be of any help, let's investigate this thing on our own. :'''Steven''': I'll come with you. :'''Garnet''': Sorry, Steven. We're gonna need you to stay here and keep an eye on our…''guest.'' :'''Steven''': Really? :'''Amethyst''': Yeah. Make sure she doesn't try anything. :'''Pearl''': Don't worry. She's harmless without her limb enhancers. :'''Peridot''': I'M NOT HARMLESS! :'''Pearl''': Oh, hush up! <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': These are the early attempts at artificial fusion. :'''Steven''': That's a lot of gem shards. :'''Peridot''': We were growing them here at this very site. But these were just prototypes for the final product, a singular giant artificial fusion, comprised of millions of gem shards…the Cluster. :'''Steven''': Peridot, you're saying there's a giant mutant gem the size of the Earth under us right now? :'''Peridot''': Oh, no. When it forms, it'll be much, much bigger than the Earth. Right now, it lies dormant, incubating in the Earth's core. But when it emerges and takes its physical form, it will destroy the planet. The prototypes are already emerging. The Cluster is next. If we can't get off this planet, we've got to stop the Cluster! I thought it'd be impossible, but now we have a chance. :'''Steven''': What is it? :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs Steven's shoulders and grins malevolently]'' It's you, Steven! ''[she and Steven climb out of the control room]'' Now that you're filled in, we can get to work! :'''Steven''': Uhh, how am I supposed to help? :'''Peridot''': Well, you have all the information that we need about Earth and its erratic behavior. Put that together with my expansive knowledge of the Cluster and we just might be able to stop it! :'''Steven''': No, Peridot, I don't think you get it! Just because I know how clouds work doesn't mean I know how to stop a giant mutant in the center of the earth! Besides, the only reason that I know anything about clouds and rain is because my dad told me. :'''Peridot''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': I used to be really scared of thunderstorms, just like you. Then Dad explained how rain and all that stuff works, then I wasn't scared of rain anymore. :'''Peridot''': Well, I'm sure you have other knowledge about how this planet works. :'''Steven''': Sure, but none of it's going to help us. If we want to stop this Cluster thing, we'll need help from the Crystal Gems. :'''Peridot''': I said I don't need them! Let's just warp me back to the bathroom, or whatever you call it, and we'll take care of this. If it looks really bad, then we can just ask this "dad" for help, right? === ''Back to the Barn'' === :'''Peridot''': What is that?! :'''Steven''': ''[speaking with the Cluster puppet]'' It's the Cluster. :'''Peridot''': It does not look like that. But it ''is'' real, and it can activate at any moment! :'''Amethyst''': What a cluster. :'''Garnet''': That abomination must be stopped. :'''Pearl''': But how? We'll need to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth, it'll have to- :'''Peridot''': ''[swats at Pearl, interrupting her]'' Hey! I wasn't finished speaking! What we ''need'' is to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': All right. What we have here in the barn should be adequate enough for us to get started. First, I recommend we organize the component types, and assemble a rough blueprint based off what we have available. Sorry, Steven. It's a lovely drawing, but it won't look like this. ''[Steven stops spinning on the swivel chair, now frowning]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[examines piece of chalk]'' Hmm... Good. Yes, this is adequate. Thank you. You can go now. :'''Pearl''': ..Uh, what? :'''Peridot''': Hm? ''[beat]'' Umm, that will be all? ''[claps to her for a beat, whispers to Steven]'' How do you get her to leave? :'''Pearl''': Excuse me, I am not leaving. :'''Steven''': Yeah! She's gotta stay here to help us build the drill thing, right? :'''Peridot''': ''[laughs]'' No, no, you're confused. A Pearl can't build a thing like this. :'''Steven''': Why not? :'''Peridot''': Because Pearls aren't ''for'' this! They're... for standing around, an-and looking nice, and uh... holding your stuff for you. Right? :'''Pearl''': That's enough! If we're going to work together, you're going to have to listen to me. :'''Peridot''': Listen to you? ''[starts laughing, turns to Steven]'' Did you teach her to talk like this? :'''Steven''': What are you talking about? :'''Peridot''': She's a Pearl. She's a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other Pearls being flaunted around back on Homeworld. :'''Steven''': Wait... There's hundreds of Pearls?! :'''Pearl''': ''[nervous]'' Well... yes, but— :'''Peridot''': ''[holding Pearl's sash]'' And she looks like a fancy one, too. ''[Pearl gasps]'' :'''Steven''': Hundreds of Pearls... :'''Peridot''': So, who do you belong to anyway? :'''Pearl''': ''[grabs her sash away from her]'' Nobody!! :'''Peridot''': Then... what are you for? ''[Pearl recoils back]'' Well, you can belong to me for now. Ha! A Peridot with a Pearl? What would they say back home? :'''Pearl''': Now listen here, you tiny twerp! In case you've forgotten, you're on ''our'' turf now! And I didn't fight a thousand-year war for this planet's independence to take orders from the likes of ''you''!! :'''Peridot''': Excuse me? I am a natural technician and a certified Kindergartener. I was made for this! You were made to take orders, not to give them! :'''Steven''': Whoa, whoa, hang on, guys! Now, we can all agree that you are both good at building things, so... can't you just try listening to each other? :'''Both''': <big>'''''NO!!'''''</big> :'''Pearl''': I'm as good at building things as you! Better, even! :'''Peridot''': Hah! Name one thing you can engineer better! Go on! :'''Steven''': ''[whispers]'' Robots. :'''Both''': Hm? :'''Steven''': You should build robots. Giant robots! I see a race. A giant robo-race... with prizes. Giant robo-prizes! :'''Pearl''': You mean like a competition? :'''Steven''': Yeah! To see who's better at building stuff! :'''Peridot''': What are these robots you speak of? :'''Steven''': They're like those funky marble guys you were sending—only bigger, and you can ride them! ''[makes robot noises]'' :'''Peridot''': Hah! Building one of these robots will be easy! :'''Pearl''': Well, I can build one faster! :'''Peridot''': That's what you think! === ''Too Far'' === :'''Peridot''': ''[talking into a recorder]'' Log date 7 11 2. It's the third rotation of the Earth since commencements of a... collaborative approach to stopping the Cluster. :'''Pearl''': I've finished drawing up the blueprints for the drill head. Peridot, if you could come take a look at this? :'''Peridot''': Remind me again why I should listen to you? Oh, right. ''[plays recorder]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder] "The Pearl here has developed an aptitude for engineering that I begrudgingly respect. But that doesn't explain the spontaneous singing... crying... singing while crying." [Amethyst laughs]'' :'''Pearl''': ''[to Steven] [annoyed]'' Why did you give her that? :'''Steven''': Well, we did destroy all her stuff. I thought it might help make her feel a little better. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder] "Clod!" [fast-forwards] "Mighty clod!" [fast-forwards] "Running out of ways to say clod."'' :'''Garnet''': All right. I chased away those cows. Now let's get to work. :'''Peridot''': ''[to Garnet] [clears throat]'' Before we begin, would you mind unfusing? It's making me incredibly uncomfortable. :''[beat as Steven, Amethyst and Pearl nervously look to Garnet. The scene then cuts to Garnet leashing Peridot to a fence.] :'''Peridot''': ''[as Garnet walks away]'' What?! What'd I say?! :'''Steven''': Did we really have to do that? :'''Garnet''': Her having free reign of the place made ''me'' incredibly uncomfortable. <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven and Amethyst walk up to a leashed Peridot growling over a microwave]'' :'''Peridot''': I just need some sort of leverage optimizer... :'''Amethyst''': Leverage optimizer? :'''Peridot''': That's what I said. :'''Amethyst''': Ohhh! Ha! You mean you want a screwdriver? ''[laughing]'' :'''Peridot''': Do you have one or not? :'''Steven''': Uh... ''[hands a screwdriver]'' Why don't you just use this one? :'''Peridot''': Because it was outside my radius. :'''Amethyst''': He-hey... Hey, Peridot... ''[points to her nose]'' What do you call this? :'''Peridot''': A scent sponge. :'''Steven''': Huh? ''[Amethyst laughs some more]'' :'''Amethyst''': Okay... ''[opens her eye]'' what's this? :'''Peridot''': Vision sphere. :'''Steven''': Peridot, that's— :'''Amethyst''': Wait, wait, Steven! Peridot... ''[waves her fingers]'' these? :'''Peridot''': ''[getting annoyed]'' Touch stumps. :'''Amethyst''': ''[points to her foot]'' This?! :'''Peridot''': Gravity connectors. :'''Amethyst''': ''This''?! :'''Peridot''': '''THAT'S YOUR BUTT!!!''' ''[Steven and Amethyst laugh out loud]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, man, Peridot, you're killing me! :'''Peridot''': I am not! That would violate our truce agreement! :'''Amethyst''': No, no, no! You're funny! :'''Peridot''': Funny? <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': The strangest thing is, Amethyst... you think you have to listen to them! ''[laughs]'' You are the one they should put you in charge! :'''Amethyst''': Ha! That's your best joke yet. :'''Peridot''': No, really. Pearl is a Pearl. Garnet is a fusion. I don't even know what ''he's'' supposed to be. :'''Steven''': Hey! :'''Peridot''': You're the only Crystal Gem that's actually a Gem! :'''Amethyst''': Uh... ''[laughs nervously]'' What? :'''Peridot''': You outrank everyone on your team. They should be listening to you. You're a strong, singular, fully-functional soldier, despite the fact that you're defective. :'''Amethyst''': ..Defective? :'''Peridot''': Well, sure. You're small. :'''Amethyst''': So? :'''Peridot''': Well, you're not supposed to be! Hold on, wait, wait. Let me guess. ''[points to Amethyst's hole]'' This— ''[runs to hole]'' This is the hole you came out of. Too small, too low, the exit marks look about 500 years newer than every other hole. Hmm... this place must have been empty when you came out. No wonder you have no idea what you're supposed to look like! :'''Steven''': Peridot... ''[Amethyst holds Steven on the shoulder]'' :'''Amethyst''': What was I supposed to look like? :'''Peridot''': Well, you're a quartz. They're huge, loyal soldiers. You should be twice your size. Broad shouldered, intimidating, but you simply stayed in the ground too long. :'''Amethyst''': Are you saying I'm wrong?! :'''Peridot''': ''[laughing]'' Gemetically speaking, yes. When you think about it it's also... ''[snickers]'' funny! ''[Amethyst feels more enraged]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst? :'''Peridot''': Hey, soldier. Maybe you can help me get this hunk of drill off. :''[Amethyst violently slashes the drill head off of an Injector with her whip]'' :'''Peridot''': See? Look at that! You can do everything a normal quartz can do. Let's head back and shove this thing in Pearl's face! :'''Steven''': Amethyst? Are you okay? :'''Amethyst''': Don't worry about it. <hr width=50% /> :'''Pearl''': ''WE LEAVE FOR ONE SECOND AND EVERYTHING GOES OFF THE RAILS!'' :'''Garnet''': I blame the cows. <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' "''Log date 7 11 2. This entire planet is backwards. There hasn't been one instance of correct behavior exhibited by anyone of these Crystal Gems. I have concluded that they are all defective. But I am no better. I failed my mission and I'm now working with the enemy. And I can't even get that right. I have apparently "hurt" Amethyst's "feelings", which was not my intent. If I damaged my standing with the best Gem here, then I've made a serious mistake. I'm still learning. I hope you understand. I want to understand. I'm sorry. [pause] Peridot, Facet 5, end log.''" === ''The Answer'' === :'''Sapphire''': My Diamond, I have arrived. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond spoke… :'''Blue Diamond''': Sapphire, tell me what will happen here. :'''Sapphire''': I foresee the rebels attacking the Cloud Arena. Before they are cornered, they will destroy the physical forms of seven gems, including two of my Ruby guards, and myself. Immediately after my form is destroyed, the rebels will be captured. The rebellion ends here. :'''Blue Diamond''': Thank you, Sapphire. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond said, relieved. :'''Blue Diamond''': That's all I needed to know. :'''Sapphire''': I look forward to speaking with you again once I reform back on Homeworld. <hr width=50% /> :'''Rose''': ''[off-screen]'' Blue Diamond, leave this planet! This colony will ''not'' be completed! :'''Ruby Guard''': It's the rebels! :'''Various Gems''': Who are you?! Show yourselves! :'''Rose''': ''[floating from above Pearl]'' We… :'''Rose & Pearl''': …are the Crystal Gems! :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The attack was right on schedule. <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The furious crowd closed in around Ruby and Sapphire. They'd never seen fusion of two different types of gems. :'''Various Gems''': Unbelievable! Disgusting! This is unheard of! :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond's voice cut through the crowd. :'''Blue Diamond''': The rebels have fled. Sapphire, this is ''not'' the scenario you described. :'''Sapphire''': This is… not what I saw! I don't know what happened, I… :'''Ruby''': No! It was me! :'''Blue Diamond''': Clearly. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Said Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': How dare you fuse with a member of my court? :'''Ruby''': Forgive me, I… :'''Blue Diamond''': You will be broken for this! <hr width=50% /> :'''Both''': ''Where did we go, what did we do?'' :''I think we made something entirely new'' :''And it wasn't quite me and it wasn't quite you'' :''I think it was someone entirely new.'' :'''Ruby''': ''Oh, um'' :''Well, I just can't stop thinking'' :'''Sapphire''': ''So, um'' :''Did you say I was different?'' :'''Ruby''': ''And you hadn't before'' :'''Sapphire''': ''Of course not'' :''When would I have ever?'' :'''Ruby''': ''I'm so sorry'' :'''Sapphire''': ''No, no, don't be'' :'''Ruby''': ''And now you're here forever!'' :'''Sapphire''': ''What about you?'' :'''Ruby''': ''What about me?'' :'''Sapphire''': ''Well, you're here too'' :''We're here together.'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm'' :'''Both''': ''Mm-m-m-m-mm, hm-m-m-m-m'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm...'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' I was back. I was someone and I didn't know who. But I felt I was getting the hang of my strange new form. ''[beat]'' And then I fell. :'''Fusion''': Ahh! ''[tumbling down a hill and crashes in bushes]'' Ouch... ''[a sword is pointed to her face]'' Aahh! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt... me? :''[pan up to see Pearl as the sword bearer]'' :'''Pearl''': It's you... the fusion. :'''Fusion''': We didn't mean to fuse! Well... well, we did this time. We'll unfuse! We-we'll... w-we'll... ''[Rose Quartz comes by]'' :'''Rose''': No, no, please. I'm glad to see you again. :'''Garnet''': And there they were—Rose Quartz, the leader of the rebellion and her terrifying renegade Pearl. :'''Fusion''': I don't... upset you? :'''Rose''': Who cares about how I feel? How ''you'' feel is bound to be much more interesting. :'''Fusion''': How I feel? I-I feel... uh, lost... and scared... a-and happy. W-Why am I so sure that I'd rather be this than everything I was supposed to be, and that I'd rather do this than everything I was supposed to do? ''[Rose chuckles and smiles]'' :'''Rose''': Welcome to Earth. :'''Fusion''': C-Can you tell me?! How was Ruby able to alter fate? Or, why was Sapphire willing to give up everything? W-What am I?! :'''Rose''': No more questions. Don't ''ever'' question this. You already are the answer. :''[Flashback story ends as Garnet concludes]'' :'''Steven''': So…what was it? The answer? :'''Garnet''': ''[whispers]'' Love. :'''Steven''': Wow… I knew it. :'''Garnet''': So did I. === ''Steven's Birthday'' === :''[Steven runs and hides to an edge of the barn; he de-ages into his normal state]'' :'''Steven''': Ohhh, geez!

Have you been stretching yourself out all day?! :'''Steven''': No! I was just... slouching. :'''Greg''': Why are you doing this? It... really isn't like you. :'''Steven''': Because, Dad! I can't stay a kid forever! When Connie grows up and becomes president, what is that gonna make me? First Boy?! :'''Amethyst''': Steven, you can't just keep stretching forever. If you hold it too long, you could really hurt yourself. :'''Steven''': Yeah, well, I'm half-human so maybe it works different for me! We'll just have to wait and see, right?! :'''Greg''': ''[sighs]'' Steven... <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': ''[trying to cheer up baby Steven but fails]'' My power means nothing to an infant. <hr width=50%/> :''[Greg, Connie and Amethyst (as a baby car seat for baby Steven) drive up in his van; Connie waves a maraca trying to calm down baby Steven]'' :'''Connie''': How can the Gems not know what to do?! :'''Greg''': You think they know the first thing about raising a baby? That was all me! But I don't get it. Driving always used to calm him down. :'''Connie''': But, how do we change him back?! :'''Greg''': I don't know! Look, Connie, let me take you home. I-I'll call you when this all this gets sorted out. :''[Connie turns to baby Steven babbling and crying]'' :'''Connie''': W-Wait, no! I wanna stay. :'''Greg''': Are you sure? :'''Connie''': Yeah! I just want to be there for Steven. Don't worry, Steven. It doesn't matter to me what age it seems like you are, I wanna hang out with you no matter what. Your dad still has to earn his car wash and the Gems have to do gem stuff, so I'll watch you when they're not around. I can come see you after I'm done training with Pearl, too. Doesn't that sound fun? ''[baby Steven holds onto her finger; coos happily]'' :'''Greg''': Look at that! He finally stopped crying. :'''Connie''': Well, that's a start.

The rebellion didn't really save Earth, it just delayed the inevitable. :'''Steven''': ''[sighs]'' That's not the way they see it. They've spent thousands of years trying to protect the Earth. I thought maybe you finally understood why. === ''Message Received'' === :'''Peridot''': Wait! I— I wouldn't have called just to waste your time with a report. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You already have. :'''Peridot''': ''[nervously]'' No, I mean... The reason I called – the ''real'' reason... I believe we should terminate the Cluster. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ...''Why?'' :'''Peridot''': The organic ecosystem creates resources unique to this world. We can't sacrifice all that potential just for one geo-weapon! I'd like to tell you some plans I came up with to utilize the planet without disrupting the local— :'''Yellow Diamond''': I've heard enough! I don't care about potential and resources. :'''Peridot''': What? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I want my Cluster, and I want that planet to ''die''. Just make that happen. :'''Peridot''': ...No! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Huh?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Are you questioning my authority? :'''Peridot''': I'm questioning your objectivity! My Diamond. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Well! ''[Yellow Diamond stands up]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': You are out of line. :'''Peridot''': I just think— :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm not interested in the puny thoughts of a Peridot. :'''Peridot''': But— :'''Yellow Diamond''': You have disrespected this channel and my time with your presence, and you would do well to— :'''Peridot''': But— :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''Shut your mouth!!'' ''[beat]'' You have failed at every stage of this mission! Your only chance to redeem yourself is to obey this simple order: You are to leave the Cluster to grow.

''[hugs Peridot]'' :'''Garnet''': ''[smiling]'' Whether you like it or not. :''[Peridot starts groaning loudly as the camera zooms out to the whole of Earth]'' === ''Log Date 7 15 2'' === :'''Peridot''': Log date 7 15 2. I can't believe I just did that! I disobeyed my orders and went against Yellow Diamond's wishes! I'm a traitorous clod! I never want to think about what I've done again! ''[stops recording, rewinds and plays the recording; laughs madly]'' And I called Yellow Diamond a clod! Right to her face! ''[falls to her knees]'' I called Yellow Diamond a clod. ''Right to her face.'' :'''Steven''': Uh, Peridot? Are you going to be okay? :'''Peridot''': ''[enthusiastically with a deranged smile]'' No! :'''Steven''': It's all going to work out. You're with us now. :'''Peridot''': You don't understand! I'm protecting a planet I was once trying to destroy! I used to follow every order, every rule. Now I'm a traitor. ''[cringes]'' A rebel! ''[eyes turn to stars] '''A CRYSTAL GEMMMMMMMMMMMM....''' ''[snickers]'' :'''Steven''': Well, that tape recorder seems to be helping. :'''Peridot''': '''NO IT'S NOT!''' ''[throws recorder at Garnet, who had just entered]'' It's a chronicle of my descent into madness!!! :'''Garnet''': ''[holding out recorder to Peridot]'' You dropped this. :'''Peridot''': Get it away from me! Give it to Steven. Return madness to its source! <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': Log Date 7 11 2. The Steven has given me this Earth machine to replace my communicator log. It looks…extremely primitive. He also said he wanted me to stop calling him, "The Steven." :'''Steven''': It's just "Steven." :'''Peridot''': I said I'd call him whatever I want. ''[hisses viciously at him; Steven holds up his finger in her face]'' He told me that was rude. :'''Steven''': Rude. :'''Peridot''': I guess I'll him, "Steven." <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': Pearl really tries for some reason and I can appreciate that. Amethyst's company is entertaining as well, but the fused one... ''[sees Garnet for a long beat, she gives her a thumbs up]'' ...eludes me. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': "Jokes." ''[opens up the joke book; clears throat]'' "Why did the chicken cross the road? The chicken wanted to get to the other side of the road." ''[laughs]'' What's a chicken? <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[recorder]'' Hour 78 of ''Camp Pining Hearts''. ''[saying Percy's line]'' It's the colour war, Paulette. Doesn't that mean anything to you? :'''Steven''': Uh, you've been here for a few days. Is everything okay? :'''Peridot''': I've just been... watching your previously recorded entertainment. :'''Steven''': Is that the same episode from three days ago? :'''Peridot''': There's more than one? :'''Steven''': Hmm... nah. Oh, you made a picture. ''[reaches a piece of paper before Peridot snatches it]'' :'''Peridot''': Picture?! This isn't just a picture, Steven! It's a complex chart cataloging the compatible characteristics between campers. Somehow, the rejects at Camp Clod fail to recognize the superior pair that is Pierre and Percy. :'''Steven''': Well, that's because Paulette likes Percy. :'''Peridot''': Paulette? Ha! Paulette has no place in the camp's hierarchy. Now, Pierre—Pierre is a brute! Pierre laid waste to the three-legged races! Pierre and Percy present the strongest battle formation! They'd destroy the camp! :'''Steven''': You got all this from one episode? :'''Peridot''': It's ''{{w|subtext}}'', Steven. Allow me to explain. ''[cut back to recorder held by Steven]'' "''Well, first of all...''" :'''Steven''': Ugh, I remember this part. :''[Steven fast-forwards recorder as we see Peridot speeding through the entire session; Steven soon falls asleep with Garnet now sitting on the couch]'' :'''Peridot''': And that's why Percy and Pierre are objectively the best for each other! ''[Steven slumps down the floor; Garnet gives a thumbs up; Peridot tears up her chart angrily]'' ''GRAHHH!!!'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Steven fast-forwards the tape recorder]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' Okay, go. :'''Garnet''': ''[thru recorder]'' Log date seven fourteen two. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' No, you say it seven one-''four'' two! ''[groans]'' Log date 7 14 2. I have attempted a fusion with the fusion Garnet. I had hoped to gain a better understanding of fusion. Instead, I gained a better understanding of Garnet. :'''Garnet''': ''[thru recorder]'' Wait, keep it on a moment. Steven, you probably shouldn't have listened to Peridot's logs, but I know your curiosity comes from a place of caring. You should give the recorder back to her now. She's going to want to keep it. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' Wait, what?

But you're okay! I guess those jerks were no match for the Crystal Gems! :'''Steven''': No way! They were super strong! :'''Greg''': But you were able to beat them back? :'''Steven''': No, they totally stomped us! This warrior Jasper was super beefy and knocked me unconscious. Then they abducted me onto the ship because they wanted to take me away forever, and then we crashed the ship and I almost died! ''[Greg freaks out]'' :'''Greg''': W-What do they want with you?! :'''Steven''': They think I'm Mom. :'''Greg''': Ar-are more Homeworld Gems gonna come after you?! :'''Steven''': I— uhh... I don't know. Maybe? :'''Greg''': Steven, I'm supportive and very proud of you... and I'll be right back. ''[runs into his van]'' Gotta calm down. Where's my— ''[brings a series of CDs up front]'' Where's my relaxing music CD?! This one? ''[inserts CD; starts blaring loud metal music]'' Wrong one!! Stop!! Eject!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Ronaldo''': Oh! I see... You come up here to brood too! :'''Steven''': Brood? :'''Ronaldo''': Yes, Steven. That's just what people like us do. Suffer quietly, shouldering the knowledge no one else can bear. :'''Steven''': Hm. :'''Ronaldo''': As an aficionado of the weird yourself, you've probably noticed ordinary people fear the cold leaded anchor of the truth. The abyss is no Sunday swan ride. :'''Steven''': I know! My dad flipped out when I told him! :'''Ronaldo''': Sounds typical. But it's a good reminder. This is no easy path we've chosen here. There are... sacrifices. Look at them all down there, Steven. It's our duty to let those simple people live out their simple lives, without ever knowing the burden of being friends with us. :'''Steven''': At least we can be there for each other. :'''Ronaldo''': Is that giant hand from the sky sitting right in the middle of the beach?! I gotta get some of this for my blog! <hr width="50%"> :'''Amethyst''': Aw, come on! :'''Garnet''': No whining. We need to start cleaning up the debris. :'''Pearl''': Garnet's right. People are already coming back into town! :'''Steven''': We've got to keep them off the beach. If any humans got access to Gem technology, ''[shuts blinds]'' they could really hurt themselves. Maybe we should shut them out... for good. :'''Pearl''': You know... we did once have a fence. Let's get a new one—with barbed wire! :'''Amethyst''': This time, let's build a moat. I could be... ''[shapeshifts her head]'' the crocodi-i-ile!! Jazz hands! :'''Garnet''': No. :'''Amethyst''': Why not? :'''Pearl''': You always say you'll be the crocodile, but you never commit! :'''Garnet''': No fence either. :'''Amethyst/Pearl''': Garnet! :'''Garnet''': Steven needs to see his father and his friends. :'''Steven''': No, I don't! I can't keep clinging to the vestiges of my humanity. It's time I got serious. ''[his phone starts ring-toning again]'' Errh! :'''Pearl''': Steven, why is your communication device playing that song? :'''Steven''': It's Connie, trying to call me... but I can't face her anymore. :'''Pearl''': So... you're just going to ignore her forever? :'''Steven''': It's the responsible thing to do. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sees thru blinds]'' It's gonna be hard, 'cause she's coming up the steps right now. :'''Steven''': What?! === ''Open Book'' === === ''Joy Ride'' === :'''Steven''': Family stuff is tricky. :'''Buck, Sour Cream, and Jenny''': Mmhm. :'''Steven''': A few months back, my dad and the Gems grounded me from TV. :'''Buck, Sour Cream, and Jenny''': That's the worst. / Bummer. / No way! :'''Steven''': And then I found out that the Gems are alien rebels and that there are other Gems out in space that want us dead 'cause they think we're traitors. And they tried to take me hostage 'cause they think I'm my mom. And... maybe I kinda am? ''[sighs]'' I wish I could talk to Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl about it, but... I think they kinda blame me for my mom not being around. :''[Buck, Sour Cream and Jenny are in a state of shock for a beat. Jenny turns off the radio]'' :'''Jenny''': That's heavy. :'''Steven''': I guess. <hr width=50%> :'''Garnet''': Steven... you're ungrounded from TV. === ''[[w:Say Uncle (Steven Universe)|Say Uncle]]'' === :'''Steven''': What am I doing wrong? The Gems can all summon ''their'' weapons, why can't I? ''[desperately]'' Isn't there somebody who can help me?! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Steven''': Oh my gosh! Uncle Grandpa! You're really here, I can't believe it! I mean… I literally can't believe it. How is this even possible?! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Don't worry, bro. None of this is canon. ''[pulls a real cannon out of Belly Bag]'' But this is! ''[launches his head like a cannonball with smoke trails spelling "APRIL FOOLS" and crashes into a ship with Lars and Sadie on it]'' :'''Lars''': Oh, no!! Our ship!! <hr width=50% /> :'''Amethyst''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': What's going on?! Who is this… stranger? :'''Steven''': He's not a stranger, he's Uncle Grandpa! :''[Uncle Grandpa honks his nose]'' :'''Amethyst''': "Uncle… Grandpa"? :'''Pearl''': So that would make him Greg's brother… ''and'' father? :'''Garnet''': That would explain a lot. <hr width=50% /> :'''Pizza Steve''': Oh hey, it's just me, Pizza Steve—just the coolest and tastiest Steve who ever lived. :'''Steven''': Hi, Pizza Steve! I'm a Steve too! Steven Universe. :'''Pizza Steve''': ''Stee''-ven Universe... ''[pops out on top of Steven's hair]'' Come on, Uncle G. I've got two rules—no more than 40 or 50 vans, and only '''ONE''' Steve allowed! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Yeah, but this Steven is special. :'''Mr. Gus''': Yeah. He's a Crystal Gem. :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Good mornin', Mr. Gus. :'''Mr. Gus''': What's up, Uncle Grandpa? :'''Steven''': Whoa, Mr. Gus! How do you know about me? :'''Mr. Gus''': I have a comprehensive knowledge of all magical denizens of the multiverse. I know ''ALL'' about the Crystal Gems. Come on, man, check this out. I even made my own Gemsona. ''[shows art of "Mr. Gusite"]'' My gem is on my tail, and my weapon is a fryin' pan. <hr width=50% /> :''[The Gems run frantically across the plot hole many times, stop for a breather]'' :'''Garnet''': There's got to be some way out of here. :'''Pearl''': ''[extremely panicked]'' WE'LL NEVER ESCAPE!! ''THIS'' IS OUR NEW ''HOME!!'' :'''Garnet''': Pearl, you're overreacting. :'''Pearl''': <big>'''I'M NOT OVERREACTING!!!'''</big> :''[Pearl runs around screaming until she crashes into Amethyst]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hey, where's Steven? ''[Pizza Steve walks in dressed like Steven]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Lookin' for me, Pizza Steven Universe? ''[Pearl gasps, cowers behind Garnet]'' :'''Pearl''': That's not my baby! :'''Amethyst''': Ah, nice! ''[eyes on Pizza Steve]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Whoa, hold on! :'''Amethyst''': ''Pizzaaaaaa!!'' ''[chases Pizza Steve offscreen]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Don't eat Pizza Steve! ''[munching noises]'' :''[Amethyst walks back on, putting on Pizza Steve's sunglasses from out of her mouth]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay, I'm ready for this episode to end. :''[She stomps, causing the plot hole to crack and shatter, leaving them back at the beach]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': ''[after finally summoning his shield; to Uncle Grandpa]'' I did it, Uncle Grandpa! I really did it! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Yay. :'''Pearl''': Protecting HIM activated Steven's powers?! :'''Garnet''': He must really care about this stranger. :'''Amethyst''': I hope he didn't care about that pizza. :'''Steven''': Listen! It was a big, weird surprise when Uncle Grandpa showed up here today. We've never met anyone like Uncle Grandpa, but you can't just attack people you don't understand. You have to stick up for them, and listen to what they have to say. You guys always do that for me. :'''Pearl''': ''[blushing with tears in her eyes, feeling guilty and sorry]'' Steven, you're right. ''[cries]'' HOW CAN I BE SO BLIND?! I'M SORRY! :'''Amethyst''': I also apologize for Pearl. :'''Garnet''': Thank you, you taught us a valuable lesson, Uncle Grandpa. <hr width=50% /> :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Boy, that sure makes my eyes hurt. Now let's see here... ''[grabs a checklist revealing several other Cartoon Network protagonists]'' Dexter, Dee-dee, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Billy, Mandy, Mac, Juniper Lee, Swat Kats, Flapjack, Finn, Oh! Steven! ''[checks off Steven's name]'' Now who's next? ''[Clarence's name is shown at the bottom of the list]'' === ''Story for Steven'' === === ''Shirt Club '' === :''[Steven rushes to the Beach House]'' :'''Steven''': Garnet! Amethyst! Pearl! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': What is it?! :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, where's the fire? :'''Steven''': It's an emergency! You have to help me take down all the shirts and stop Buck from making more! :'''Pearl''': Have the shirts come to life and and possessed the bodies of their wearers?! :'''Steven''': Uh, no! They just— :'''Amethyst''': Are people catching on fire when they put on the magic shirts? :'''Steven''': No! No, they're just— :'''Pearl''': Are the shirts destroying the wearer's will to continue on in this mortal coil, thereby shutting down Beach City!?! :'''Steven''': ''NOOOOO''!!! They're— they're just... using my art in a way I don't agree with. :'''Pearl''': Oh. ''[all Gems sit down]'' :'''Garnet''': Ah, we'll pass. :'''Steven''': What?! But— but I really need your help! :'''Pearl''': Steven, this sounds like a very abstract problem. :'''Amethyst''': It's not something we can ''punch''! :'''Garnet''': You must learn to help yourself. That's how you become stronger. ''[shades sparkle]'' :'''Amethyst/Pearl''': Good point, good point. / Oh, absolutely. :'''Steven''': But..! :'''Amethyst''': You figure something ''out'', Steven! :'''Pearl''': Yes! Why not dust off those conflict resolution skills? :'''Garnet''': Let your problem be known, then you can work towards an understanding. :'''Steven''': Oh... I'll make them understand. I'll make them all understand... ''[leaves]'' :'''Amethyst''': Eh, he'll be fine. === ''Love Letters'' === :''[Steven and Connie meet Jamie sitting on a log in the beach]'' :'''Steven''': Jamie! :'''Jamie''': Oh, hey, Connie and Steven. You guys come out here to stare at the ocean and think about life too? :'''Connie''': Uhh, no...? We came to, uh— :'''Jamie''': Yeah, life is crazy. One day, you're right here in Beach City delivering mail and then the next thing you know... you're on a bus to Kansas, following your dreams of becoming an actor. "Follow your dreams," they said. But no one said anything about all the rejection and sadness there was to be found. So many auditions day after day... So much rejection day after day... That's why I came back. ''[two seagulls crash into each other and fall into the sea]'' One more rejection would have destroyed my fragile heart. ''[sobs, chuckles]'' Sorry... sometimes I get caught up in the drama zone, you know? :'''Steven''': Yeah, right... Drama zone. :'''Connie''': Oh, by the way, we have something for yo— :'''Steven''': No, we don't! <hr width=50%> :'''Garnet''': I didn't mean to upset you. :'''Jamie''': Then will you go out with me? :'''Garnet''': No! :'''Jamie''': But I've loved you since the moment I saw you. :'''Garnet''': Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time and love takes work. At the very least, you have to know the other person. And you literally have no idea who or what I am. ''[shades glimmer]'' :'''Jamie''': But I bloom for you like— like a... camellia... under moonlight? :'''Garnet''': No, you don't! ''[long beat]'' You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children. ''[adjusts her shades]'' You even convinced yourself. ''[smiling]'' You're a fantastic actor. :'''Jamie''': ''[beat]'' ..What am I supposed to do now? :'''Garnet''': Start with local theater. ''[slaps Jamie's back, then walks away. Connie and Steven walk closer to him]'' :'''Connie''': Are you okay? :'''Jamie''': Yeah. That was some pretty solid advice. :'''Steven''': Were those more letters you wrote to Garnet? :'''Jamie''': No. That was the mail I was supposed to deliver on my last route. :'''Steven''': ''[beat]'' We'll help you pick it all up. :'''Jamie''': Thanks. === ''Reformed'' === :'''Garnet''': This is not a good choice for your form. :'''Amethyst''': Lighten up, Garnet. Can't you take a joke? :'''Garnet''': It's not funny. You've made yourself ridiculous. :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''''RIDICULOUS?!?!'''''</big> :'''Garnet''': Keep your voice down! The creature... :'''Amethyst''': Hrrr... You wanted me to be more like Pearl, and now I am!! :'''Garnet''': ''[low voice]'' Pearl would've taken her regeneration seriously! :'''Amethyst''': WHAT DO YOU CARE!?! MY FORM IS '''''MY'' BUSINESS!!''' :'''Garnet''': It's my business when it affects the strength of the team!! :'''Amethyst''': ..So what?! I'm not strong enough?! ''[gets dragged by the Slinker]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst! :'''Amethyst''': '''ARE YOU SAYING... <big>I'M ''WEAK''</big>?!?!''' ''[poofs again; Steven catches her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Is it weird I'm getting numbed to this? === ''[[w:Sworn to the Sword|Sworn to the Sword]]'' === :'''Connie''': ''[fights off seagulls with her violin bow]'' Run back to your masters! Tell them we're not afraid of your kind! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks for saving my jam snack. Unfortunately, it's not safe from me. ''[munches it]'' You're such a good sword fighter, Connie. :'''Connie''': Really? I was just swinging this thing around. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'd love to learn how to use a real sword! :'''Steven''': Oh! ''[gulps snack; starry eyes]'' Steven has an idea! :''[back at the Beach House]'' :'''Pearl''': You want me to do ''what''?! :'''Steven''': You should teach Connie to sword fight, she's already so good! :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': But you are! Y-You helped me fight the robot floaty-thing, she took down that evil clone of herself, uh... those mean seagulls just now? :'''Pearl''': You're awfully young to begin something like this. But I suppose I was only a few thousand years old when I began fighting alongside Rose Quartz. ''[Connie raises her hand]'' Yes, Connie? :'''Connie''': Please! I want to learn! I mean, I don't know what'll happen in the future. But if something dangerous comes along... I don't wanna be a burden, I wanna help! I want to be there for Steven to fight by his side! The Earth is my home too. Can't I help protect it? ''[Pearl starts watering tears of joy]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh... okay... If that's how you feel... we should get started! :'''Steven''': Woo-hoo! ''[runs after her laughing]'' :'''Connie''': Wait, now? <hr width=50%> :'''Pearl''': All right, everything begins with your stance. Remember: :''[singing] You do it for him, and you would do it again'' :''You do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him.'' :''Keep your stance wide, keep your body lowered'' :''As you're moving forward, balance is the key'' :''Right foot, left foot, now go even faster'' :''And as you're moving backwards, keep your eyes on me.'' :'''Connie''': ''Keep my stance wide'' ("Good.") :''Keep my body lowered'' ("Right.") :''As I'm moving forward'' :'''Pearl''': ''Concentrate! Don't you want him to live?!'' :'''Connie''': ''Right foot, left foot'' :'''Pearl''': ''Yes, but put your whole body into it!'' :''Everything you have, everything you are'' :''You've got to give.'' :''On the battlefield, when everything is chaos'' :''And you have nothing but the way you feel, your strategy and a sword'' :''You just think about the life you'll have together after the war'' :''And then you do it for her, that's how you know you can win'' :''You do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him.'' <hr width=25%> :''Deep down, you know you weren't built for fighting'' :''But that doesn't mean you're not prepared to try'' :''What they don't know is your real advantage'' :''When you live for someone, you're prepared to die.'' :'''Connie''': ''Deep down, I know that I'm just a human'' ("True.") :'''Both''': ''But I/you know that I/you can draw my/your sword and fight'' :'''Connie''': ''With my short existence,'' ("Good.") ''I can make a difference'' ("Yes, excellent!") :''I can be there for him, I can be his knight.'' :'''Connie''': ''I can do it for him'' :'''Both''': ''You'd do it for her'' :'''Pearl''': ''Okay, now do that again'' ("Yes, ma'am.") :''You do it for her, and now you say'' :'''Connie''': ''I'll do it for him.'' <hr width=50%> :'''Amethyst''': ''[belly laughs]'' Wow, Garnet! That is the funniest thing I've ever heard! :'''Garnet''': Garnet, master of comedy. :'''Amethyst''': Hehehe... Yo, Steven. ''[pretend-yells]'' '''WHY ARE YOU STANDING THERE ALL SAD LIKE THAT?!?!''' :'''Steven''': W-well... Connie is taking sword fighting lessons from Pearl, but I think it's getting a little too serious. She wants Connie to do all this dangerous stuff for me. :'''Garnet''': That makes sense. :'''Steven''': What do you mean? :'''Garnet''': Back during the war, Pearl took pride in risking her destruction for your mother. She put Rose Quartz over everything — over logic, over consequence, over her own life. :''[Pearl and Rose switch to Connie and Steven, respectively. She charges at the enemy before cutting to Steven's horrified face]'' :'''Amethyst''': You okay, dude? :'''Steven''': I have to do something!! Thanks for telling me that, bye!! === ''Rising Tides, Crashing Skies'' === :'''RonaIdo''': I am now going to attempt to make contact with the mysterious, reclusive, ''[Steven comes out]'' and—ahh! :'''Steven''': Hi, Ronaldo! Uh, hi, Peedee. Is that a camera? :'''Peedee''': Yeah. We're making a movie about— :'''RonaIdo''': It's an investigative report, shot ''[[w:cinéma vérité|camera vérité]]''. :'''Steven''': Cool! :'''RonaIdo''': So... you wanna participate in a groundbreaking interview? :'''Steven''': Hmm. Only if ''you'' participate in a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade! ''[walks back inside]'' :''[cue Ronaldo and Steven in the Beach House]'' :'''Steven''': Ohh, that giant hand? It was a spaceship coming to get us. :'''RonaIdo''': Us?! I knew it! Steven, we know too much! :'''Steven''': No, not "us" us. I-I meant me and the Crystal Gems. :'''RonaIdo''': Wait. So the hand wasn't here to snatch up humans for a human zoo? Or interfere with our subsidized Beach City wind farm?! Or thaw the cryogenically frozen pets of the one percent!?! :'''Steven''': Uh... no, I'm pretty sure it came to Beach City for me and the Crystal Gems. :'''RonaIdo''': Oh. So, if you and the Crystal Gems weren't here, we wouldn't have been attacked by the giant hand? :'''Steven''': Ohh-hoh-hoh! Definitely not. === ''Keeping It Together'' === :'''Pearl''': Garnet, you don't think Peridot would come looking for us, do you? :'''Garnet''': We weren't her priority. She was sent here to do something in the Kindergarten. :'''Pearl''': Do you think she's still going to try to reactivate it? :'''Garnet''': Mm. If she gets it back up and running, the Injectors will turn back on. :'''Steven''': Injectors? What're those? :'''Pearl''': You've already seen them. ''[projects hologram from her gemstone]'' Well, you've seen them disabled. If Peridot reactivates them, they'll pick right up where they left off, planting gems in the crust of the Earth, where they'll incubate and suck the life right out of the ground. We can't let Peridot restart Gem production here. If we do... ''[sighs]'' the entire planet will become… :'''Garnet''': Janked. :'''Amethyst''': Garnet! ''[laughs]'' That mouth! ''[sniggers]'' :'''Garnet''': Don't worry. We'll stop her. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': We did it! Garnet? :'''Garnet/Ruby'''! So ''this'' is what Homeworld thinks of fusion! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': We couldn't have known they would do this. :'''Garnet/Ruby''': ''This'' is where they've been…all the ones we couldn't find… they've been here the whole time! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': Rose couldn't have known. :'''Garnet/Ruby''': This is punishment for the rebellion! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': ''[breaking down]'' It's not our fault! :'''Steven''': Garnet! :'''Garnet''': S-Steven. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sliding down with Pearl]'' Yo! We're back. :'''Pearl''': Garnet, we lost Peridot. Her fingers were too fast for us. ''[two fused hands climb up on Amethyst and grabs them]'' Um… what are these things? :'''Garnet''': PUT THEM DOWN! :'''Steven''': Uh! :'''Pearl''': Wha...? ''[throws the hands away]'' :'''Garnet''': We need to poof and bubble all of them. We can't let any escape. ''[She poofs the hands as the screen turns black]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': What Homeworld did… taking the shattered parts of fallen Gems and combining them—those Gems weren't asked permission. Fusion is a choice. Those Gems weren't given a choice. It isn't right. It isn't fusion! <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven looks at Garnet as he takes the clothes out the dryer into the basket]'' :'''Steven''': What's it like... being a fusion? :'''Garnet''': You fused. :'''Steven''': I mean, like, all the time. Do you forget who you used to be? :'''Garnet''': You forget you were ever alone. You know when you fuse, you don't feel like two people. You feel like one being. And your old names might as well be names for your left arm, and your right. :'''Steven''': When you split up, is it like you disappear? :'''Garnet''': I embody my— I mean, Ruby and Sapphire's love. I always exist in them, even if I split apart. But the strength of that love keeps me together, so I can stay Garnet for a very long time. :'''Steven''': That's why you're so great! :'''Garnet''': ''[smiles]'' Ha. ''[Steven starts laughing, with a light blue colored sock being blown away]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no! ''[Garnet catches it]'' :'''Garnet''': Don't wanna break up a pair. :'''Steven''': ''[holds peach colored sock]'' Yeah, you're right. ''[Garnet folds socks into basket]'' They belong together. === ''We Need to Talk'' === :''[Greg re-watches Pearl and Rose's fusion dance, practices and falls down]'' :'''Greg''': Ah, geez! How'd she get her legs to do that? ''[groans]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hey! ''[looks at face-to-face with Garnet]'' Are you dead? :'''Greg''': Wha? Uh, no, no. I'm alive. :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, cool! ''[jumps over Greg, runs to the TV]'' It's us from before! :'''Greg''': Yeah, I was just... trying to get my head around this fusion dance. :'''Amethyst''': A fusion dance ain't about your head! ''[laughs out loud]'' :'''Greg''': Wait... you guys are Gems. You gotta help me out here. I need to be able to fuse with Rose! :'''Garnet''': First, you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Then you need the partner who you trust with that light. :'''Greg''': Metaphorically? :'''Garnet''': Literally. :'''Amethyst''': ''[whispers]'' Shh! Come on! I still wanna see him try! :'''Greg''': Ugh, so it's true. I really can't do it. ''[touches his face]'' I'm kidding myself with this! I'm never gonna be a Gem... ''[Garnet looks down and picks up a twig]'' :'''Garnet''': Amethyst... give us some privacy! ''[throws it far away]'' :'''Amethyst''': YEAH!! ''[scampers after it]'' :'''Garnet''': Let me tell you something, Mr. Universe. I think you can do it, but it won't work if you dance like Pearl. You have to dance like you. You have to fuse ''your'' way. Get open. Get honest. Invent yourselves together. ''[lowers her shades and winks left of her three eyes]'' That's fusion. :'''Greg''': EYE—think I get it. === ''Chille Tid'' === :'''Steven''': "Sleep is a curse, and yet a curse I need to live"—Steven Universe. ---- :'''Garnet''': Let me show you how it's done. ''(She falls over, stiff as a board)'' :'''Pearl''': That's pretty convincing. ---- :'''Steven''': Lapis! :'''Lapiz Lazuli''': No. I'm ''not'' Lapis anymore. We're Malachite now. === ''[[w:Cry for Help (Steven Universe)|Cry for Help]]'' === :'''Garnet''': It's as I feared. :''[The Communication Hub is glowing and shooting a beam of light towards the sky]'' :'''Pearl''': It looks like Peridot somehow repaired the Communication Hub. Well, at least some of it. :'''Steven''': So... we just gotta wreck it up again, right? (''to Amethyst'') You guys should form Sugilite! :'''Amethyst''': (''smiling a bit'') Yeah... Well, it's up to Garnet, I guess. (''smiling widely, to Garnet'') What do you say? ''[Pearl looks scared in the background]'' Shall we mash it up?... :'''Garnet''': No. :'''Amethyst''': But, don't we need to be huge like last time? :'''Garnet''': Last time was a disaster. Last time we fused, Sugilite went berserk. It's because of her that we can't even warp here anymore. (''takes off her visor'') I can be brash, you can be reckless. And we can both get carried away. So, for the time being, ''[She puts her visor back on and Amethyst's reflection can be seen in them]'' Sugilite is benched. What we need now is to be careful. ''[Steven gasps]'' It's you and me, Pearl. Let's fuse. ''[Pearl looks astonished as she begins to tear up]'' Don't cry, Pearl. ''[Pearl tries to not cry and quivers as she strongly breathes in through her nose, sniffling thickly]'' Come on, let's do this. :'''Pearl''': I'm right behind you. (''sniffling'') :'''Steven''': (''running towards them'') Woo-hoo! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! *sits to the left of Lion* (''Amethyst walks over'') :'''Garnet''': (''gemstones glow'') Ready. :'''Pearl''': (''grunts; stretches'') Hang on, it's been such a long time. ---- :'''Sardonyx''': Gooooood evening, everybody! (''struts over to Lion, Steven, and Amethyst and does a twirl'') This is the lovely Sardonyx! Coming to you ''a-live'' from the soon-to-be-former Communication Hub! How are y'all doin' tonight? :'''Amethyst''': (''sarcastically'') Great... :'''Steven''': (''gasps'') Giant woman! ---- :'''Amethyst''': ''Maybe you're better off with her / I think she's better for you / I forgot how great it felt to be us / Guess I got carried away. / I had to use you to make me feel strong / But I don't care about that now / I see a tower built out of my mistakes / And it all comes crashing down. / Is there something I can doo-oo / Is there something I can doo-oo-oo / Is there something I can doo-oo / Can I make it up to you?'' ---- :'''Amethyst''': Stop! :'''Pearl''': Is something the matter, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': You... you shouldn't. :'''Steven''': Pearl, we saw you. :'''Pearl''': (''shocked'') What? :'''Steven''': You need to tell Garnet it was you! :'''Garnet''': I don't understand. :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry. It's just... so much fun being Sardonyx with you. :'''Garnet''': ''[drops Pearl to the ground]'' ''That's'' why I couldn't see us finding Peridot. :'''Pearl''': Wait, let me explain! :'''Garnet''': You've been fixing the hub! :'''Pearl''': It really was Peridot! The first time. :'''Garnet''': You ''tricked'' me! :'''Pearl''': No! No, no, no, no! We just needed a reason to fuse! I just wanted to share a few more victories with you! :'''Garnet''': Those weren't ''victories''! :'''Amethyst''': Wait, Garnet! You know, we're so much weaker than you! Fusing with you is like our one chance to feel... ''stronger''! :'''Garnet''': Don't defend her! Peridot is out there somewhere and Pearl's been distracting us with... ''nothing''! :'''Pearl''': Garnet... :'''Garnet''': ''[angrily points at her]'' That's enough! ''[to Amethyst]'' Amethyst, fuse with me! :'''Amethyst''': But-! :'''Garnet''': (''clenching her fist'') Let's just get this over with. === ''Keystone Motel'' === :'''Steven''': Pearl! Where have you been?! :'''Pearl''': Looking for Peridot… For a few days straight. Steven, I know I might have… disappointed all of you. I know Garnet's very upset with me. But I'm going to prove to her that she can trust me again. ''[Garnet walks in through the front door]'' Oh! Garnet! I was just looking for Peridot! She's bound to be somewhere, right? Any new ideas? ''[Garnet says nothing and walks past her]'' I'm sorry ---- :'''Garnet''': ''[agitated, panting]'' Calm down... I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!... You don't understand, you must... If you're not going to listen, then you can just GO! ''[splits into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': ''[calmly]'' We must move past this, Ruby. :'''Ruby''': ''[furiously]'' She ''lied'' to us so we'd form Sardonyx! She ''tricked'' us! Don't you feel used?! :'''Sapphire''': You're choosing to take it personally. :'''Ruby''': IT'S ''FUSION'', SAPPHIRE! WHAT'S MORE PERSONAL TO US THAN ''FUSION?!'' :'''Sapphire''': I know you're still upset... :'''Ruby''': Oh, so it's just me?! :'''Sapphire''': Of course not. Can't you see I'm completely engulfed with rage? :'''Ruby''': Well, it doesn't feel like it! :'''Sapphire''': The sooner we forgive Pearl, the better it will be for us all. :'''Ruby''': YOU'RE NOT AS ABOVE THIS AS YOU THINK YOU ARE! ---- :'''Sapphire''': ''[about Ruby, while she shakes the table]'' This will pass. She'll eventually just burn herself out. :'''Ruby''': ''[angrily]'' THAT'S WHAT ''YOU'' THINK! '''I AM AN ETERNAL FLAME, BABY!''' ''[flips the table]'' :''[while Greg talks to Steven, arguing with each other simultaneously]'' :'''Ruby''': You don't know me! :'''Sapphire''': How could I possibly not know you? We always fuse! We always fuse, what are you even going on about fusion? :'''Ruby''': Look at you! ''[laughing]'' You don't even know yourself! Ha! :'''Sapphire''': So don't act so ridiculous. :'''Ruby''': ''I'm'' ridiculous?! :'''Sapphire''': Yes, yes. ---- :'''Steven''': I was so happy when Garnet said she wanted to go on this trip with me and Dad! Home's been awful! Here's been awful! I thought you wanted to have a fun time, but everyone's been acting awful too! It... it just came with us! I don't understand! Is it... is it me? :'''Ruby''': ...No! Steven, it's all us! :'''Sapphire''': But we made him feel like it was his fault... I keep looking into the future, when all of this has already been solved, as if it doesn't matter how you feel in the present! ''[starting to cry]'' No wonder you think I don't care...! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... No, nonononono! This is all my fault, I... I didn't want to look for a solution, I... I just wanted to be mad! You're right! You're always right! I was being stupid! :'''Sapphire''': I don't think you're stupid! :'''Ruby''': I'm... sorry. ''[gently brushes Sapphire's hair aside, revealing her sad eye]'' :'''Sapphire''': You honestly think I'm not upset about what happened? I was just... trying to do the right thing. :'''Ruby''': I know... ''[starts smiling]'' You know what's nice about being split up? :'''Sapphire''': What? :'''Ruby''': I get to look at you... :'''Sapphire''': ''[pushes her off, laughing]'' Be serious! :'''Ruby''': ''[hugs Sapphire]'' There's my Laughy Sapphy! :'''Sapphire''': Shh! You're embarrassing me in front of Steven! ''[cut to Steven, feeling awkward at the scene]'' === ''Historical Friction'' === :'''Steven''': Hey, Pearl! ''[sees a desolate Pearl sitting on the couch, looking at the ceiling]'' Pearl? :'''Pearl''': ''[jumps up]'' Steven! You're back! :'''Steven''': Yeah... ''[sits down]'' Show business is rough. :'''Pearl''': Is there something I can help you with? :'''Steven''': Not unless you can make William Dewey interesting. :'''Pearl''': How do ''you'' know William Dewey? :'''Steven''': I'm gonna be him in this play! But he's totally boring! He's perfect and he never makes mistakes. :'''Pearl''': ''[sigh]'' Wish I could say the same for myself. :'''Steven''': Yeah, but nobody's like that! Everybody gets stuff wrong, and then you have to keep going and it's hard, which is why it's great when you never stop trying! :'''Pearl''': ..When did you get so smart? === ''Friend Ship'' === :''[Steven and the Gems enter a room in the ship. Peridot appears on a projected screen]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[laughs]'' You Gems really are as dull as dirt! :'''Pearl''': You're the dull one if you thing you can fly this wreck! :'''Peridot''': ''[pauses]'' What? Can you speak louder? Some of these communicators are gunked up. :'''Steven''': ''[cleans off a microphone, speaks into it]'' Pearl says ''you're'' the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck! :'''Peridot''': ''[waits for Steven's response to come through] [laughs]'' Fly? I'm not using this vessel to fly. I'm using it to '''''TRAP YOU!''''' ''[a door closes, trapping Steven and the Gems in the room]'' Isn't this nice? No more Crystal Gems running around, messing with my plans, destroying my things. Looks like I've got you just where I want you. How does it feel to be so easily outsmarted, you '''''CLODS?!''''' :'''Pearl''': No... :'''Amethyst''': ''[speaks into the microphone]'' Hey, uh, this is Amethyst. I don't appreciate being called a clod, you clo- :'''Peridot''': Enough talk! Prepare yourselves for annihilation! ''[dramatically hits a button]'' Hiyah! ''[nothing happens, hits it again]'' Hiyah! :''[the room's laser cannons activate and take aim at Steven and the Gems]'' :'''Peridot''': It works! Yes! '''''DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIIIIE!''''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Pearl, stop. That isn't helping. :'''Pearl''': I have to do something. I can't believe I walked us right into Peridot's trap. This is all my… ''[Peridot's hologram disappears as the ground starts to shake]'' fault? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': ''[thru screen]'' Garnet… I'm sorry! :'''Amethyst''': Wait a sec! :'''Pearl''': Things weren't supposed to turn out this way... ''[inside, Garnet punches the wall again]'' :'''Garnet''': We'll get outta here somehow. :'''Pearl''': ''[sighs]'' That's not what I mean! I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did... ''[Garnet withdraws her gauntlets]'' I wanted to prove to you that... that everything could go back to normal... :'''Garnet''': Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal. ''[thru screen]'' This isn't about Peridot. :'''Amethyst''': Hey... they're actually talking! :'''Steven''': Now they can finally work things out! :''[soon, the gears start to activate and turn and start closing into the trapped two]'' :'''Amethyst''': Not if they get crushed! :''[both Garnet and Pearl push their unflinching sides]'' :'''Pearl''': Please! Tell me! How can I make you forgive me?! :'''Garnet''': You can't! You lied to me! You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions! :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry! I... I couldn't help myself! :'''Garnet''': ''[kicks opposite side of wall next to Pearl]'' I don't want to hear your excuses! :'''Pearl''': But it's true! No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl. I'm useless on my own. ''[cries]'' I need someone to tell me what to do. :''[the walls suddenly stop moving; Both Amethyst and Steven pull her whip on its gears in its place. Garnet and Pearl pause for a beat]'' :'''Pearl''': When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you. Confident and secure, and complete. You're perfect. You're the perfect relationship. You're always together, I just... I wanted to be a part of that. :'''Garnet''': You're wrong! I'm not as strong as you think. I fell apart over this. Ruby and Sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me. ''[thru screen]'' I came undone. :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, that really happened? :'''Steven''': ''[nods]'' Hm. :'''Garnet''': It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too, but I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone. Please understand, Pearl. ''[thru screen]'' You have an impact too. ''[inside]'' There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your ''own'' gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again. :'''Pearl''': I understand. I can't give up anymore! :'''Garnet''': Good. === ''Nightmare Hospital'' === :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': ''[sighs]'' I had a rough day at work and I'm not in the mood for any more surprises. :'''Connie''': Whatsyjf happened at work? :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': There was a really strange case at the hospital today, straight out of a ''nightmare''. ''[beat]'' Oh, don't worry, the rules of doctor-patient confidentiality keep me from sharing the graphic details, but... Hang on a moment. When did we get a coat rack? :'''Connie''': Oh, no... :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': A ''SWORD''?! Connie, where did you get this?! :'''Steven''': I-it's— :'''Connie''': I found it! I just... found it outside and I wanted to show it to Steven. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': How could you possibly think this is okay?! :'''Connie''': It's— :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Do you know how many children I see everyday in the hospital who've cut their faces off playing with swords?! :'''Connie''': I— :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': NONE!! Because they all have parents who love them, and who don't let them play around with deadly weapons like some kind of gang member! No playing with swords, under any circumstances! ''[her cell phone rings, answers it]'' This is Dr. Maheswaran. Yes, calm down, Stromberg. Another one? :'''Steven''': ''[to Connie]'' Is she gonna give it back? :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': All right, I'll-I'll be right there. ''[zips sword in duffle bag]'' I have to go to the hospital. I'll have a talk with your father to calculate just how grounded you are. ''[leaves, comes back]'' And we're using the abacus! ''[leaves again]'' :'''Connie''': I ''hate'' that abacus. Steven, I'm so sorry. She took your mother's sword! :'''Steven''': Maybe we can get her to change her mind? :'''Connie''': She never ''ever'' changes her mind. We've got to get that sword back ourselves. <hr width=50%> :'''Connie''': Mom... I'm really sorry about lying to you. It started off as a tiny secret, and then I felt like if I didn't hide it, you wouldn't let me see Steven ever again. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Is that how you feel? Are we too controlling? :'''Connie''': ..Maybe. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': I just wanted to be a good mother. I... I just wanted to protect you. :'''Connie''': I can protect myself now! ''[Dr. Maheswaran pauses for a long beat, sighs]'' :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Okay. ''[Connie winces]'' We'll... pull back on the rules, and I'll try to keep an open mind about ''[Connie's lenses]'' this, and ''[Lion]'' that, and... him. ''[Steven stays frightened]'' It scares me that you can't talk to me. I need to know what's happening in your life. I... I need to step in when you're in over your head. Would you just promise me you'll stop all this lying? :'''Connie''': ''[beat]'' That's a rule. ''[they embrace each other]'' :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': I love you, honey. :'''Connie''': I love you too, Mom. === ''Sadie's Song'' === :'''Sadie''': Please, Mom. Don't make me do this. :'''Barb''': Make you? You said you wanted to sing. :'''Sadie''': Yeah! I did! I did! I did, I did. Just like I say lots of things like, "Hey, Mom. Swimming looks fun", then bam! Suddenly, I'm anchoring a 400 meter relay for the Beach City Seals. "Hey, Mom. I thought signing up for softball would be nice." 6 birthdays later, I'm still getting nothing but kneepads and batting helmets. "Hey, Mom. I wanna sing at this year's Beachapalooza", and what do I get? THIS! I just thought, for once, I get to do things my way, but you came in and took over everything like you always do. :'''Barb''': I just wanted everyone to know how talented my daughter is. :'''Sadie''': THIS is not your daughter. :'''Barb''': ''[stunned]'' I'm sorry. === ''Catch and Release'' === :'''Steven''': ''[getting padded by Peridot]'' Why are you acting like this?! :'''Peridot''': You smashed me into a limbless cloud, you trapped me in your bubble dungeon, and you called me... ''cute''! ''[Steven evades her punch, face-flat on the floor]'' :'''Steven''': I didn't poof you! I freed you! ''[Peridot turns back]'' :'''Peridot''': Why would you make such a miscalculation? :'''Steven''': Back at the warp pad, what were you trying to say? Why do we need you? What do you know? :'''Peridot''': What do I know? Everything there is to know about the Cluster, you pebble! :'''Steven''': Cluster? Wait, pebble? :'''Peridot''': My mission. The reason why I'm on this sad rock in the first place! I was to check progress on the Cluster! Just in and out, before it hatches. I wasn't supposed to get stuck here! But now it's going to emerge and nothing can stop it, and we'll all be shattered!! :'''Steven''': Okay, okay, wait, slow down. Now, from the top—emerging, hatching, Clusters? :'''Peridot''': You wanna know? :'''Steven''': Yes. :'''Peridot''': You ''really'' wanna know? :'''Steven''': Yes? <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[in bathroom]'' Hmm... Seems I've discovered some sort of archaic... think chamber. Roomy, with a fresh hint of Earth citrus. ''[lifts toilet seat]'' A perfect crossroads for my escape. :'''Amethyst''': ''[fiddling the bathroom doorknob]'' It's locked. :'''Garnet''': Peridot, open the door! ''[flushing sounds are heard]'' :'''Amethyst''': Uh, if you're trying to flush yourself down the toilet, it ''won't'' work. ''[cut to Peridot spinning inside the toilet bowl]'' Trust me, I've tried. :'''Pearl''': How did she get out?! We bubbled her! :'''Amethyst''': Maybe we needed a bigger bubble. :'''Garnet''': My bubbles are fine. :'''Steven''': ''[sweating nervously]'' I did it. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' Steven, why would you do such a thing?! <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': I'm tired of playing these games. If we can't fight her, fine. We'll talk. Peridot! :'''Peridot''': ''[slips off the sink]'' Whoa! :'''Garnet''': All right, no more fighting. Let's just have a civil conversation. :'''Peridot''': As if I'd negotiate with you, filthy war machine! :'''Garnet''': ''[summons gauntlets]'' Okay, let's kick her butt. :'''Steven''': Wait! :'''Peridot''': Yeah! Destroy me again! ''[hangs on bath curtain pole with a plunger]'' And have fun trying to talk to me when I'm in a ''bubble''! ''[almost slips off]'' :'''Pearl''': I really hate to say it, but unfortunately if she has information, she's more valuable to us like… this. :'''Garnet''': This is going to be tricky. ''[hear knobs turning, water splashing]'' :'''Peridot''': H-h-hot hot hot!! :'''Steven''': You have to turn the knob the other way for cold! ''[later in the kitchen with the Gems]'' Wait, so we're just gonna let her live in my bathroom? :'''Pearl''': Well, yes. What other option do we have? Keep her outside on a leash? === ''When It Rains'' === :'''Garnet''': ''[banging on the bathroom door]'' Open the door, Peridot! If this "Cluster" is putting us in danger, you need to tell us what it is so we can stop it! :'''Peridot''': No! I hate you! I'm not telling you anything about the Cluster! :'''Amethyst''': Oh, come on. Is it like a big, hunk of granola? :'''Peridot''': What's granola? :'''Pearl''': I'm sure it's not granola. Now, Peridot, I'm sure we can reach some sort of agreement. Perhaps a trade is in order? :'''Peridot''': Oh, sure. Why don't you just give me back my leg enhancements and my arm attachments with my screen and my log and all my information. Oh, wait, YOU DESTROYED THEM! So, no, I don't think we can reach some sort of agreement! :'''Steven''': ''[flushing the toilet]'' Okay, Peridot, you can turn around now. ''[exits the bathroom, clears throat]'' Sorry for interrupting your interrogation. :'''Garnet''': Don't worry about it, Steven. :'''Pearl''': I swear, Peridot is gonna crack any second now. :'''Peridot''': I'll ''never'' crack for the likes of you, you… Crystal Clods! ''[laughs]'' :'''Pearl''': ''[angrily]'' Ooh, I got your clods right here, you little…! :'''Garnet''': ''[puts her hand on her shoulder]'' Hold on, Pearl. If she's not gonna be of any help, let's investigate this thing on our own. :'''Steven''': I'll come with you. :'''Garnet''': Sorry, Steven. We're gonna need you to stay here and keep an eye on our…''guest.'' :'''Steven''': Really? :'''Amethyst''': Yeah. Make sure she doesn't try anything. :'''Pearl''': Don't worry. She's harmless without her limb enhancers. :'''Peridot''': I'M NOT HARMLESS! :'''Pearl''': Oh, hush up! <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': These are the early attempts at artificial fusion. :'''Steven''': That's a lot of gem shards. :'''Peridot''': We were growing them here at this very site. But these were just prototypes for the final product, a singular giant artificial fusion, comprised of millions of gem shards…the Cluster. :'''Steven''': Peridot, you're saying there's a giant mutant gem the size of the Earth under us right now? :'''Peridot''': Oh, no. When it forms, it'll be much, much bigger than the Earth. Right now, it lies dormant, incubating in the Earth's core. But when it emerges and takes its physical form, it will destroy the planet. The prototypes are already emerging. The Cluster is next. If we can't get off this planet, we've got to stop the Cluster! I thought it'd be impossible, but now we have a chance. :'''Steven''': What is it? :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs Steven's shoulders and grins malevolently]'' It's you, Steven! ''[she and Steven climb out of the control room]'' Now that you're filled in, we can get to work! :'''Steven''': Uhh, how am I supposed to help? :'''Peridot''': Well, you have all the information that we need about Earth and its erratic behavior. Put that together with my expansive knowledge of the Cluster and we just might be able to stop it! :'''Steven''': No, Peridot, I don't think you get it! Just because I know how clouds work doesn't mean I know how to stop a giant mutant in the center of the earth! Besides, the only reason that I know anything about clouds and rain is because my dad told me. :'''Peridot''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': I used to be really scared of thunderstorms, just like you. Then Dad explained how rain and all that stuff works, then I wasn't scared of rain anymore. :'''Peridot''': Well, I'm sure you have other knowledge about how this planet works. :'''Steven''': Sure, but none of it's going to help us. If we want to stop this Cluster thing, we'll need help from the Crystal Gems. :'''Peridot''': I said I don't need them! Let's just warp me back to the bathroom, or whatever you call it, and we'll take care of this. If it looks really bad, then we can just ask this "dad" for help, right? === ''Back to the Barn'' === :'''Peridot''': What is that?! :'''Steven''': ''[speaking with the Cluster puppet]'' It's the Cluster. :'''Peridot''': It does not look like that. But it ''is'' real, and it can activate at any moment! :'''Amethyst''': What a cluster. :'''Garnet''': That abomination must be stopped. :'''Pearl''': But how? We'll need to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth, it'll have to- :'''Peridot''': ''[swats at Pearl, interrupting her]'' Hey! I wasn't finished speaking! What we ''need'' is to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': All right. What we have here in the barn should be adequate enough for us to get started. First, I recommend we organize the component types, and assemble a rough blueprint based off what we have available. Sorry, Steven. It's a lovely drawing, but it won't look like this. ''[Steven stops spinning on the swivel chair, now frowning]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[examines piece of chalk]'' Hmm... Good. Yes, this is adequate. Thank you. You can go now. :'''Pearl''': ..Uh, what? :'''Peridot''': Hm? ''[beat]'' Umm, that will be all? ''[claps to her for a beat, whispers to Steven]'' How do you get her to leave? :'''Pearl''': Excuse me, I am not leaving. :'''Steven''': Yeah! She's gotta stay here to help us build the drill thing, right? :'''Peridot''': ''[laughs]'' No, no, you're confused. A Pearl can't build a thing like this. :'''Steven''': Why not? :'''Peridot''': Because Pearls aren't ''for'' this! They're... for standing around, an-and looking nice, and uh... holding your stuff for you. Right? :'''Pearl''': That's enough! If we're going to work together, you're going to have to listen to me. :'''Peridot''': Listen to you? ''[starts laughing, turns to Steven]'' Did you teach her to talk like this? :'''Steven''': What are you talking about? :'''Peridot''': She's a Pearl. She's a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other Pearls being flaunted around back on Homeworld. :'''Steven''': Wait... There's hundreds of Pearls?! :'''Pearl''': ''[nervous]'' Well... yes, but— :'''Peridot''': ''[holding Pearl's sash]'' And she looks like a fancy one, too. ''[Pearl gasps]'' :'''Steven''': Hundreds of Pearls... :'''Peridot''': So, who do you belong to anyway? :'''Pearl''': ''[grabs her sash away from her]'' Nobody!! :'''Peridot''': Then... what are you for? ''[Pearl recoils back]'' Well, you can belong to me for now. Ha! A Peridot with a Pearl? What would they say back home? :'''Pearl''': Now listen here, you tiny twerp! In case you've forgotten, you're on ''our'' turf now! And I didn't fight a thousand-year war for this planet's independence to take orders from the likes of ''you''!! :'''Peridot''': Excuse me? I am a natural technician and a certified Kindergartener. I was made for this! You were made to take orders, not to give them! :'''Steven''': Whoa, whoa, hang on, guys! Now, we can all agree that you are both good at building things, so... can't you just try listening to each other? :'''Both''': <big>'''''NO!!'''''</big> :'''Pearl''': I'm as good at building things as you! Better, even! :'''Peridot''': Hah! Name one thing you can engineer better! Go on! :'''Steven''': ''[whispers]'' Robots. :'''Both''': Hm? :'''Steven''': You should build robots. Giant robots! I see a race. A giant robo-race... with prizes. Giant robo-prizes! :'''Pearl''': You mean like a competition? :'''Steven''': Yeah! To see who's better at building stuff! :'''Peridot''': What are these robots you speak of? :'''Steven''': They're like those funky marble guys you were sending—only bigger, and you can ride them! ''[makes robot noises]'' :'''Peridot''': Hah! Building one of these robots will be easy! :'''Pearl''': Well, I can build one faster! :'''Peridot''': That's what you think! === ''Too Far'' === :'''Peridot''': ''[talking into a recorder]'' Log date 7 11 2. It's the third rotation of the Earth since commencements of a... collaborative approach to stopping the Cluster. :'''Pearl''': I've finished drawing up the blueprints for the drill head. Peridot, if you could come take a look at this? :'''Peridot''': Remind me again why I should listen to you? Oh, right. ''[plays recorder]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder] "The Pearl here has developed an aptitude for engineering that I begrudgingly respect. But that doesn't explain the spontaneous singing... crying... singing while crying." [Amethyst laughs]'' :'''Pearl''': ''[to Steven] [annoyed]'' Why did you give her that? :'''Steven''': Well, we did destroy all her stuff. I thought it might help make her feel a little better. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder] "Clod!" [fast-forwards] "Mighty clod!" [fast-forwards] "Running out of ways to say clod."'' :'''Garnet''': All right. I chased away those cows. Now let's get to work. :'''Peridot''': ''[to Garnet] [clears throat]'' Before we begin, would you mind unfusing? It's making me incredibly uncomfortable. :''[beat as Steven, Amethyst and Pearl nervously look to Garnet. The scene then cuts to Garnet leashing Peridot to a fence.] :'''Peridot''': ''[as Garnet walks away]'' What?! What'd I say?! :'''Steven''': Did we really have to do that? :'''Garnet''': Her having free reign of the place made ''me'' incredibly uncomfortable. <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven and Amethyst walk up to a leashed Peridot growling over a microwave]'' :'''Peridot''': I just need some sort of leverage optimizer... :'''Amethyst''': Leverage optimizer? :'''Peridot''': That's what I said. :'''Amethyst''': Ohhh! Ha! You mean you want a screwdriver? ''[laughing]'' :'''Peridot''': Do you have one or not? :'''Steven''': Uh... ''[hands a screwdriver]'' Why don't you just use this one? :'''Peridot''': Because it was outside my radius. :'''Amethyst''': He-hey... Hey, Peridot... ''[points to her nose]'' What do you call this? :'''Peridot''': A scent sponge. :'''Steven''': Huh? ''[Amethyst laughs some more]'' :'''Amethyst''': Okay... ''[opens her eye]'' what's this? :'''Peridot''': Vision sphere. :'''Steven''': Peridot, that's— :'''Amethyst''': Wait, wait, Steven! Peridot... ''[waves her fingers]'' these? :'''Peridot''': ''[getting annoyed]'' Touch stumps. :'''Amethyst''': ''[points to her foot]'' This?! :'''Peridot''': Gravity connectors. :'''Amethyst''': ''This''?! :'''Peridot''': '''THAT'S YOUR BUTT!!!''' ''[Steven and Amethyst laugh out loud]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, man, Peridot, you're killing me! :'''Peridot''': I am not! That would violate our truce agreement! :'''Amethyst''': No, no, no! You're funny! :'''Peridot''': Funny? <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': The strangest thing is, Amethyst... you think you have to listen to them! ''[laughs]'' You are the one they should put you in charge! :'''Amethyst''': Ha! That's your best joke yet. :'''Peridot''': No, really. Pearl is a Pearl. Garnet is a fusion. I don't even know what ''he's'' supposed to be. :'''Steven''': Hey! :'''Peridot''': You're the only Crystal Gem that's actually a Gem! :'''Amethyst''': Uh... ''[laughs nervously]'' What? :'''Peridot''': You outrank everyone on your team. They should be listening to you. You're a strong, singular, fully-functional soldier, despite the fact that you're defective. :'''Amethyst''': ..Defective? :'''Peridot''': Well, sure. You're small. :'''Amethyst''': So? :'''Peridot''': Well, you're not supposed to be! Hold on, wait, wait. Let me guess. ''[points to Amethyst's hole]'' This— ''[runs to hole]'' This is the hole you came out of. Too small, too low, the exit marks look about 500 years newer than every other hole. Hmm... this place must have been empty when you came out. No wonder you have no idea what you're supposed to look like! :'''Steven''': Peridot... ''[Amethyst holds Steven on the shoulder]'' :'''Amethyst''': What was I supposed to look like? :'''Peridot''': Well, you're a quartz. They're huge, loyal soldiers. You should be twice your size. Broad shouldered, intimidating, but you simply stayed in the ground too long. :'''Amethyst''': Are you saying I'm wrong?! :'''Peridot''': ''[laughing]'' Gemetically speaking, yes. When you think about it it's also... ''[snickers]'' funny! ''[Amethyst feels more enraged]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst? :'''Peridot''': Hey, soldier. Maybe you can help me get this hunk of drill off. :''[Amethyst violently slashes the drill head off of an Injector with her whip]'' :'''Peridot''': See? Look at that! You can do everything a normal quartz can do. Let's head back and shove this thing in Pearl's face! :'''Steven''': Amethyst? Are you okay? :'''Amethyst''': Don't worry about it. <hr width=50% /> :'''Pearl''': ''WE LEAVE FOR ONE SECOND AND EVERYTHING GOES OFF THE RAILS!'' :'''Garnet''': I blame the cows. <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' "''Log date 7 11 2.

Before they are cornered, they will destroy the physical forms of seven gems, including two of my Ruby guards, and myself. Immediately after my form is destroyed, the rebels will be captured. The rebellion ends here. :'''Blue Diamond''': Thank you, Sapphire. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond said, relieved. :'''Blue Diamond''': That's all I needed to know. :'''Sapphire''': I look forward to speaking with you again once I reform back on Homeworld. <hr width=50% /> :'''Rose''': ''[off-screen]'' Blue Diamond, leave this planet! This colony will ''not'' be completed! :'''Ruby Guard''': It's the rebels! :'''Various Gems''': Who are you?! Show yourselves! :'''Rose''': ''[floating from above Pearl]'' We… :'''Rose & Pearl''': …are the Crystal Gems! :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The attack was right on schedule. <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The furious crowd closed in around Ruby and Sapphire. They'd never seen fusion of two different types of gems. :'''Various Gems''': Unbelievable! Disgusting! This is unheard of! :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond's voice cut through the crowd. :'''Blue Diamond''': The rebels have fled. Sapphire, this is ''not'' the scenario you described. :'''Sapphire''': This is… not what I saw! I don't know what happened, I… :'''Ruby''': No! It was me! :'''Blue Diamond''': Clearly. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Said Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': How dare you fuse with a member of my court? :'''Ruby''': Forgive me, I… :'''Blue Diamond''': You will be broken for this! <hr width=50% /> :'''Both''': ''Where did we go, what did we do?'' :''I think we made something entirely new'' :''And it wasn't quite me and it wasn't quite you'' :''I think it was someone entirely new.'' :'''Ruby''': ''Oh, um'' :''Well, I just can't stop thinking'' :'''Sapphire''': ''So, um'' :''Did you say I was different?'' :'''Ruby''': ''And you hadn't before'' :'''Sapphire''': ''Of course not'' :''When would I have ever?'' :'''Ruby''': ''I'm so sorry'' :'''Sapphire''': ''No, no, don't be'' :'''Ruby''': ''And now you're here forever!'' :'''Sapphire''': ''What about you?'' :'''Ruby''': ''What about me?'' :'''Sapphire''': ''Well, you're here too'' :''We're here together.'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm'' :'''Both''': ''Mm-m-m-m-mm, hm-m-m-m-m'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm...'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' I was back. I was someone and I didn't know who. But I felt I was getting the hang of my strange new form. ''[beat]'' And then I fell. :'''Fusion''': Ahh! ''[tumbling down a hill and crashes in bushes]'' Ouch... ''[a sword is pointed to her face]'' Aahh! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt... me? :''[pan up to see Pearl as the sword bearer]'' :'''Pearl''': It's you... the fusion. :'''Fusion''': We didn't mean to fuse! Well... well, we did this time. We'll unfuse! We-we'll... w-we'll... ''[Rose Quartz comes by]'' :'''Rose''': No, no, please. I'm glad to see you again. :'''Garnet''': And there they were—Rose Quartz, the leader of the rebellion and her terrifying renegade Pearl. :'''Fusion''': I don't... upset you? :'''Rose''': Who cares about how I feel? How ''you'' feel is bound to be much more interesting. :'''Fusion''': How I feel? I-I feel... uh, lost... and scared... a-and happy. W-Why am I so sure that I'd rather be this than everything I was supposed to be, and that I'd rather do this than everything I was supposed to do? ''[Rose chuckles and smiles]'' :'''Rose''': Welcome to Earth. :'''Fusion''': C-Can you tell me?! How was Ruby able to alter fate? Or, why was Sapphire willing to give up everything? W-What am I?! :'''Rose''': No more questions. Don't ''ever'' question this. You already are the answer. :''[Flashback story ends as Garnet concludes]'' :'''Steven''': So…what was it?

Have you been stretching yourself out all day?! :'''Steven''': No! I was just... slouching. :'''Greg''': Why are you doing this? It... really isn't like you. :'''Steven''': Because, Dad! I can't stay a kid forever! When Connie grows up and becomes president, what is that gonna make me? First Boy?! :'''Amethyst''': Steven, you can't just keep stretching forever. If you hold it too long, you could really hurt yourself. :'''Steven''': Yeah, well, I'm half-human so maybe it works different for me! We'll just have to wait and see, right?! :'''Greg''': ''[sighs]'' Steven... <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': ''[trying to cheer up baby Steven but fails]'' My power means nothing to an infant. <hr width=50%/> :''[Greg, Connie and Amethyst (as a baby car seat for baby Steven) drive up in his van; Connie waves a maraca trying to calm down baby Steven]'' :'''Connie''': How can the Gems not know what to do?! :'''Greg''': You think they know the first thing about raising a baby? That was all me! But I don't get it. Driving always used to calm him down. :'''Connie''': But, how do we change him back?! :'''Greg''': I don't know! Look, Connie, let me take you home. I-I'll call you when this all this gets sorted out. :''[Connie turns to baby Steven babbling and crying]'' :'''Connie''': W-Wait, no! I wanna stay. :'''Greg''': Are you sure? :'''Connie''': Yeah! I just want to be there for Steven. Don't worry, Steven. It doesn't matter to me what age it seems like you are, I wanna hang out with you no matter what. Your dad still has to earn his car wash and the Gems have to do gem stuff, so I'll watch you when they're not around. I can come see you after I'm done training with Pearl, too. Doesn't that sound fun? ''[baby Steven holds onto her finger; coos happily]'' :'''Greg''': Look at that! He finally stopped crying. :'''Connie''': Well, that's a start.

Hey, Peridot, who is this supposed to be? :'''Peridot''': ''[runs up and gasps at the mural]'' It's Blue Diamond! Wait. Are they ''all'' here?! Ah, yes! There she is! :'''Steven''': Who? :''[They run up to the mural of Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Peridot''': Behold, Yellow Diamond! Isn't she magnificent? :'''Steven''': Wow! So, who are the Diamonds anyway? They seem like a big deal. :'''Peridot''': Are you joking me? The Diamonds are the Gem matriarchs! Together, they make up the Great Diamond Authority that governs Homeworld and all the outlying colonies! We live to serve them. ''[Garnet clears her throat and glares down at her in annoyance; nervously chuckles]'' I…I mean, we were all made to serve them, even though some of us don't anymore. <hr width=50% /> :''[They enter an upstairs room with only a single mysterious object in the middle]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, what's this room? :'''Garnet''': ''[continues walking upstairs]'' It's not what we came for. :'''Amethyst''': Can we hurry it up? This place gives me the creeps. <hr width=50% /> :''[Peridot brings up a hologram of Earth, which starts eroding to a hollowed-out version with a ring system as Steven and the Gems awe in shock]'' :'''Peridot''': Ta-da! A finished Earth colony. Wow, look at this! Eighty-nine Kindergartens, sixty-seven spires, a Galaxy Warp in each facet, efficient use of all available materials. What were you thinking shutting this operation down?! It could've been great! :'''Garnet''': No! You're wrong! :'''Peridot''': What do you mean? It's perfect. Look at it! :'''Pearl''': We ''are'' looking at it. :'''Amethyst''': Yeah, this plan stinks! :'''Garnet''': Completing this colony would have meant the extinction of all life on Earth! :'''Peridot''': But think of the good it would've done! The Gems that would've been made are empire expanded! :'''Pearl''': Rose Quartz believed all life was precious and ''worth'' protecting. :'''Peridot''': Well, if she wanted to protect it, she did a lousy job! There'd be no Cluster if the Earth had stayed a colony! Now there's no colony, and there's gonna be no Earth! So thank you, Rose Quartz, you doomed the planet! :''[Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst stare angrily at Peridot for a beat]'' :'''Steven''': Ohh-hoh-hoh! ''[nervously]'' Is there anything that's worth more than— ''[Garnet picks up Peridot]'' :'''Garnet''': You listen to me now. ''[summons gauntlet]'' You were talking about things that you do ''not'' understand. :'''Steven''': Garnet! Stop, please! It's not worth it. We're done here. Let's just go home. :''[Garnet drops Peridot on the seat and smashes the control panel with her gauntlet and the hologram dissipates; the Gems start leaving soon after. Steven sighs]'' :'''Peridot''': What'd I say? I'm just stating a fact. The rebellion didn't really save Earth, it just delayed the inevitable. :'''Steven''': ''[sighs]'' That's not the way they see it. They've spent thousands of years trying to protect the Earth. I thought maybe you finally understood why. === ''Message Received'' === :'''Peridot''': Wait! I— I wouldn't have called just to waste your time with a report. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You already have. :'''Peridot''': ''[nervously]'' No, I mean... The reason I called – the ''real'' reason... I believe we should terminate the Cluster. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ...''Why?'' :'''Peridot''': The organic ecosystem creates resources unique to this world. We can't sacrifice all that potential just for one geo-weapon! I'd like to tell you some plans I came up with to utilize the planet without disrupting the local— :'''Yellow Diamond''': I've heard enough! I don't care about potential and resources. :'''Peridot''': What? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I want my Cluster, and I want that planet to ''die''. Just make that happen. :'''Peridot''': ...No! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Huh?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Are you questioning my authority? :'''Peridot''': I'm questioning your objectivity! My Diamond. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Well! ''[Yellow Diamond stands up]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': You are out of line. :'''Peridot''': I just think— :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm not interested in the puny thoughts of a Peridot. :'''Peridot''': But— :'''Yellow Diamond''': You have disrespected this channel and my time with your presence, and you would do well to— :'''Peridot''': But— :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''Shut your mouth!!'' ''[beat]'' You have failed at every stage of this mission! Your only chance to redeem yourself is to obey this simple order: You are to leave the Cluster to grow. It will tear apart the Earth, and I will take immense satisfaction in erasing that hideous rock off of our star maps! ''Is that clear?!'' :'''Peridot''': I won't do it!! I can tell you with certainty that there are things on this planet worth protecting! ''[Steven smiles]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you know about the Earth?! :'''Peridot''': ''[losing her temper]'' APPARENTLY MORE THAN ''YOU'', YOU... <big>'''''CLOD!'''''</big> ''[Yellow Diamond suddenly becomes incredibly livid at a petrified Peridot]'' Uhh...

''[stops recording, rewinds and plays the recording; laughs madly]'' And I called Yellow Diamond a clod! Right to her face! ''[falls to her knees]'' I called Yellow Diamond a clod.

''[hisses viciously at him; Steven holds up his finger in her face]'' He told me that was rude. :'''Steven''': Rude. :'''Peridot''': I guess I'll him, "Steven." <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': Pearl really tries for some reason and I can appreciate that. Amethyst's company is entertaining as well, but the fused one... ''[sees Garnet for a long beat, she gives her a thumbs up]'' ...eludes me. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': "Jokes."

Oh, you made a picture. ''[reaches a piece of paper before Peridot snatches it]'' :'''Peridot''': Picture?! This isn't just a picture, Steven! It's a complex chart cataloging the compatible characteristics between campers. Somehow, the rejects at Camp Clod fail to recognize the superior pair that is Pierre and Percy. :'''Steven''': Well, that's because Paulette likes Percy. :'''Peridot''': Paulette? Ha! Paulette has no place in the camp's hierarchy. Now, Pierre—Pierre is a brute! Pierre laid waste to the three-legged races! Pierre and Percy present the strongest battle formation! They'd destroy the camp! :'''Steven''': You got all this from one episode? :'''Peridot''': It's ''{{w|subtext}}'', Steven. Allow me to explain.

Steven, you probably shouldn't have listened to Peridot's logs, but I know your curiosity comes from a place of caring. You should give the recorder back to her now. She's going to want to keep it. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' Wait, what?

But you're okay! I guess those jerks were no match for the Crystal Gems! :'''Steven''': No way! They were super strong! :'''Greg''': But you were able to beat them back? :'''Steven''': No, they totally stomped us! This warrior Jasper was super beefy and knocked me unconscious. Then they abducted me onto the ship because they wanted to take me away forever, and then we crashed the ship and I almost died! ''[Greg freaks out]'' :'''Greg''': W-What do they want with you?! :'''Steven''': They think I'm Mom. :'''Greg''': Ar-are more Homeworld Gems gonna come after you?! :'''Steven''': I— uhh... I don't know. Maybe? :'''Greg''': Steven, I'm supportive and very proud of you... and I'll be right back. ''[runs into his van]'' Gotta calm down. Where's my— ''[brings a series of CDs up front]'' Where's my relaxing music CD?! This one? ''[inserts CD; starts blaring loud metal music]'' Wrong one!! Stop!! Eject!! <hr width="50%"> :'''Ronaldo''': Oh! I see... You come up here to brood too! :'''Steven''': Brood? :'''Ronaldo''': Yes, Steven. That's just what people like us do. Suffer quietly, shouldering the knowledge no one else can bear. :'''Steven''': Hm. :'''Ronaldo''': As an aficionado of the weird yourself, you've probably noticed ordinary people fear the cold leaded anchor of the truth. The abyss is no Sunday swan ride. :'''Steven''': I know! My dad flipped out when I told him! :'''Ronaldo''': Sounds typical. But it's a good reminder. This is no easy path we've chosen here. There are... sacrifices. Look at them all down there, Steven. It's our duty to let those simple people live out their simple lives, without ever knowing the burden of being friends with us. :'''Steven''': At least we can be there for each other. :'''Ronaldo''': Is that giant hand from the sky sitting right in the middle of the beach?! I gotta get some of this for my blog! <hr width="50%"> :'''Amethyst''': Aw, come on! :'''Garnet''': No whining. We need to start cleaning up the debris. :'''Pearl''': Garnet's right. People are already coming back into town! :'''Steven''': We've got to keep them off the beach. If any humans got access to Gem technology, ''[shuts blinds]'' they could really hurt themselves. Maybe we should shut them out... for good. :'''Pearl''': You know... we did once have a fence. Let's get a new one—with barbed wire! :'''Amethyst''': This time, let's build a moat. I could be... ''[shapeshifts her head]'' the crocodi-i-ile!! Jazz hands! :'''Garnet''': No. :'''Amethyst''': Why not? :'''Pearl''': You always say you'll be the crocodile, but you never commit! :'''Garnet''': No fence either. :'''Amethyst/Pearl''': Garnet! :'''Garnet''': Steven needs to see his father and his friends. :'''Steven''': No, I don't! I can't keep clinging to the vestiges of my humanity. It's time I got serious. ''[his phone starts ring-toning again]'' Errh! :'''Pearl''': Steven, why is your communication device playing that song? :'''Steven''': It's Connie, trying to call me... but I can't face her anymore. :'''Pearl''': So... you're just going to ignore her forever? :'''Steven''': It's the responsible thing to do. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sees thru blinds]'' It's gonna be hard, 'cause she's coming up the steps right now. :'''Steven''': What?! === ''Open Book'' === === ''Joy Ride'' === :'''Steven''': Family stuff is tricky. :'''Buck, Sour Cream, and Jenny''': Mmhm. :'''Steven''': A few months back, my dad and the Gems grounded me from TV. :'''Buck, Sour Cream, and Jenny''': That's the worst. / Bummer. / No way! :'''Steven''': And then I found out that the Gems are alien rebels and that there are other Gems out in space that want us dead 'cause they think we're traitors. And they tried to take me hostage 'cause they think I'm my mom. And... maybe I kinda am? ''[sighs]'' I wish I could talk to Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl about it, but... I think they kinda blame me for my mom not being around. :''[Buck, Sour Cream and Jenny are in a state of shock for a beat. Jenny turns off the radio]'' :'''Jenny''': That's heavy. :'''Steven''': I guess. <hr width=50%> :'''Garnet''': Steven... you're ungrounded from TV. === ''[[w:Say Uncle (Steven Universe)|Say Uncle]]'' === :'''Steven''': What am I doing wrong? The Gems can all summon ''their'' weapons, why can't I? ''[desperately]'' Isn't there somebody who can help me?! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Steven''': Oh my gosh! Uncle Grandpa! You're really here, I can't believe it! I mean… I literally can't believe it. How is this even possible?! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Don't worry, bro. None of this is canon. ''[pulls a real cannon out of Belly Bag]'' But this is! ''[launches his head like a cannonball with smoke trails spelling "APRIL FOOLS" and crashes into a ship with Lars and Sadie on it]'' :'''Lars''': Oh, no!! Our ship!! <hr width=50% /> :'''Amethyst''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': What's going on?! Who is this… stranger? :'''Steven''': He's not a stranger, he's Uncle Grandpa! :''[Uncle Grandpa honks his nose]'' :'''Amethyst''': "Uncle… Grandpa"? :'''Pearl''': So that would make him Greg's brother… ''and'' father? :'''Garnet''': That would explain a lot. <hr width=50% /> :'''Pizza Steve''': Oh hey, it's just me, Pizza Steve—just the coolest and tastiest Steve who ever lived. :'''Steven''': Hi, Pizza Steve! I'm a Steve too! Steven Universe. :'''Pizza Steve''': ''Stee''-ven Universe... ''[pops out on top of Steven's hair]'' Come on, Uncle G. I've got two rules—no more than 40 or 50 vans, and only '''ONE''' Steve allowed! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Yeah, but this Steven is special. :'''Mr. Gus''': Yeah. He's a Crystal Gem. :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Good mornin', Mr. Gus. :'''Mr. Gus''': What's up, Uncle Grandpa? :'''Steven''': Whoa, Mr. Gus! How do you know about me? :'''Mr. Gus''': I have a comprehensive knowledge of all magical denizens of the multiverse. I know ''ALL'' about the Crystal Gems. Come on, man, check this out. I even made my own Gemsona. ''[shows art of "Mr. Gusite"]'' My gem is on my tail, and my weapon is a fryin' pan. <hr width=50% /> :''[The Gems run frantically across the plot hole many times, stop for a breather]'' :'''Garnet''': There's got to be some way out of here. :'''Pearl''': ''[extremely panicked]'' WE'LL NEVER ESCAPE!! ''THIS'' IS OUR NEW ''HOME!!'' :'''Garnet''': Pearl, you're overreacting. :'''Pearl''': <big>'''I'M NOT OVERREACTING!!!'''</big> :''[Pearl runs around screaming until she crashes into Amethyst]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hey, where's Steven? ''[Pizza Steve walks in dressed like Steven]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Lookin' for me, Pizza Steven Universe? ''[Pearl gasps, cowers behind Garnet]'' :'''Pearl''': That's not my baby! :'''Amethyst''': Ah, nice! ''[eyes on Pizza Steve]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Whoa, hold on! :'''Amethyst''': ''Pizzaaaaaa!!'' ''[chases Pizza Steve offscreen]'' :'''Pizza Steve''': Don't eat Pizza Steve! ''[munching noises]'' :''[Amethyst walks back on, putting on Pizza Steve's sunglasses from out of her mouth]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay, I'm ready for this episode to end. :''[She stomps, causing the plot hole to crack and shatter, leaving them back at the beach]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': ''[after finally summoning his shield; to Uncle Grandpa]'' I did it, Uncle Grandpa! I really did it! :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Yay. :'''Pearl''': Protecting HIM activated Steven's powers?! :'''Garnet''': He must really care about this stranger. :'''Amethyst''': I hope he didn't care about that pizza. :'''Steven''': Listen! It was a big, weird surprise when Uncle Grandpa showed up here today. We've never met anyone like Uncle Grandpa, but you can't just attack people you don't understand. You have to stick up for them, and listen to what they have to say. You guys always do that for me. :'''Pearl''': ''[blushing with tears in her eyes, feeling guilty and sorry]'' Steven, you're right. ''[cries]'' HOW CAN I BE SO BLIND?! I'M SORRY! :'''Amethyst''': I also apologize for Pearl. :'''Garnet''': Thank you, you taught us a valuable lesson, Uncle Grandpa. <hr width=50% /> :'''Uncle Grandpa''': Boy, that sure makes my eyes hurt. Now let's see here... ''[grabs a checklist revealing several other Cartoon Network protagonists]'' Dexter, Dee-dee, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Billy, Mandy, Mac, Juniper Lee, Swat Kats, Flapjack, Finn, Oh! Steven! ''[checks off Steven's name]'' Now who's next? ''[Clarence's name is shown at the bottom of the list]'' === ''Story for Steven'' === === ''Shirt Club '' === :''[Steven rushes to the Beach House]'' :'''Steven''': Garnet! Amethyst! Pearl! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': What is it?! :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, where's the fire? :'''Steven''': It's an emergency! You have to help me take down all the shirts and stop Buck from making more! :'''Pearl''': Have the shirts come to life and and possessed the bodies of their wearers?! :'''Steven''': Uh, no! They just— :'''Amethyst''': Are people catching on fire when they put on the magic shirts? :'''Steven''': No! No, they're just— :'''Pearl''': Are the shirts destroying the wearer's will to continue on in this mortal coil, thereby shutting down Beach City!?! :'''Steven''': ''NOOOOO''!!! They're— they're just... using my art in a way I don't agree with. :'''Pearl''': Oh. ''[all Gems sit down]'' :'''Garnet''': Ah, we'll pass. :'''Steven''': What?! But— but I really need your help! :'''Pearl''': Steven, this sounds like a very abstract problem. :'''Amethyst''': It's not something we can ''punch''! :'''Garnet''': You must learn to help yourself. That's how you become stronger. ''[shades sparkle]'' :'''Amethyst/Pearl''': Good point, good point. / Oh, absolutely. :'''Steven''': But..! :'''Amethyst''': You figure something ''out'', Steven! :'''Pearl''': Yes! Why not dust off those conflict resolution skills? :'''Garnet''': Let your problem be known, then you can work towards an understanding. :'''Steven''': Oh... I'll make them understand. I'll make them all understand... ''[leaves]'' :'''Amethyst''': Eh, he'll be fine. === ''Love Letters'' === :''[Steven and Connie meet Jamie sitting on a log in the beach]'' :'''Steven''': Jamie! :'''Jamie''': Oh, hey, Connie and Steven. You guys come out here to stare at the ocean and think about life too? :'''Connie''': Uhh, no...? We came to, uh— :'''Jamie''': Yeah, life is crazy. One day, you're right here in Beach City delivering mail and then the next thing you know... you're on a bus to Kansas, following your dreams of becoming an actor. "Follow your dreams," they said. But no one said anything about all the rejection and sadness there was to be found. So many auditions day after day... So much rejection day after day... That's why I came back. ''[two seagulls crash into each other and fall into the sea]'' One more rejection would have destroyed my fragile heart. ''[sobs, chuckles]'' Sorry... sometimes I get caught up in the drama zone, you know? :'''Steven''': Yeah, right... Drama zone. :'''Connie''': Oh, by the way, we have something for yo— :'''Steven''': No, we don't! <hr width=50%> :'''Garnet''': I didn't mean to upset you. :'''Jamie''': Then will you go out with me? :'''Garnet''': No! :'''Jamie''': But I've loved you since the moment I saw you. :'''Garnet''': Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time and love takes work. At the very least, you have to know the other person. And you literally have no idea who or what I am. ''[shades glimmer]'' :'''Jamie''': But I bloom for you like— like a... camellia... under moonlight? :'''Garnet''': No, you don't! ''[long beat]'' You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children. ''[adjusts her shades]'' You even convinced yourself. ''[smiling]'' You're a fantastic actor. :'''Jamie''': ''[beat]'' ..What am I supposed to do now? :'''Garnet''': Start with local theater. ''[slaps Jamie's back, then walks away. Connie and Steven walk closer to him]'' :'''Connie''': Are you okay? :'''Jamie''': Yeah. That was some pretty solid advice. :'''Steven''': Were those more letters you wrote to Garnet? :'''Jamie''': No. That was the mail I was supposed to deliver on my last route. :'''Steven''': ''[beat]'' We'll help you pick it all up. :'''Jamie''': Thanks. === ''Reformed'' === :'''Garnet''': This is not a good choice for your form. :'''Amethyst''': Lighten up, Garnet. Can't you take a joke? :'''Garnet''': It's not funny. You've made yourself ridiculous. :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''''RIDICULOUS?!?!'''''</big> :'''Garnet''': Keep your voice down! The creature... :'''Amethyst''': Hrrr... You wanted me to be more like Pearl, and now I am!! :'''Garnet''': ''[low voice]'' Pearl would've taken her regeneration seriously! :'''Amethyst''': WHAT DO YOU CARE!?! MY FORM IS '''''MY'' BUSINESS!!''' :'''Garnet''': It's my business when it affects the strength of the team!! :'''Amethyst''': ..So what?! I'm not strong enough?! ''[gets dragged by the Slinker]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst! :'''Amethyst''': '''ARE YOU SAYING... <big>I'M ''WEAK''</big>?!?!''' ''[poofs again; Steven catches her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Is it weird I'm getting numbed to this? === ''[[w:Sworn to the Sword|Sworn to the Sword]]'' === :'''Connie''': ''[fights off seagulls with her violin bow]'' Run back to your masters! Tell them we're not afraid of your kind! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks for saving my jam snack. Unfortunately, it's not safe from me. ''[munches it]'' You're such a good sword fighter, Connie. :'''Connie''': Really? I was just swinging this thing around. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'd love to learn how to use a real sword! :'''Steven''': Oh! ''[gulps snack; starry eyes]'' Steven has an idea! :''[back at the Beach House]'' :'''Pearl''': You want me to do ''what''?! :'''Steven''': You should teach Connie to sword fight, she's already so good! :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': But you are! Y-You helped me fight the robot floaty-thing, she took down that evil clone of herself, uh... those mean seagulls just now? :'''Pearl''': You're awfully young to begin something like this. But I suppose I was only a few thousand years old when I began fighting alongside Rose Quartz. ''[Connie raises her hand]'' Yes, Connie? :'''Connie''': Please! I want to learn! I mean, I don't know what'll happen in the future. But if something dangerous comes along... I don't wanna be a burden, I wanna help! I want to be there for Steven to fight by his side! The Earth is my home too. Can't I help protect it? ''[Pearl starts watering tears of joy]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh... okay... If that's how you feel... we should get started! :'''Steven''': Woo-hoo! ''[runs after her laughing]'' :'''Connie''': Wait, now? <hr width=50%> :'''Pearl''': All right, everything begins with your stance. Remember: :''[singing] You do it for him, and you would do it again'' :''You do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him.'' :''Keep your stance wide, keep your body lowered'' :''As you're moving forward, balance is the key'' :''Right foot, left foot, now go even faster'' :''And as you're moving backwards, keep your eyes on me.'' :'''Connie''': ''Keep my stance wide'' ("Good.") :''Keep my body lowered'' ("Right.") :''As I'm moving forward'' :'''Pearl''': ''Concentrate! Don't you want him to live?!'' :'''Connie''': ''Right foot, left foot'' :'''Pearl''': ''Yes, but put your whole body into it!'' :''Everything you have, everything you are'' :''You've got to give.'' :''On the battlefield, when everything is chaos'' :''And you have nothing but the way you feel, your strategy and a sword'' :''You just think about the life you'll have together after the war'' :''And then you do it for her, that's how you know you can win'' :''You do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him.'' <hr width=25%> :''Deep down, you know you weren't built for fighting'' :''But that doesn't mean you're not prepared to try'' :''What they don't know is your real advantage'' :''When you live for someone, you're prepared to die.'' :'''Connie''': ''Deep down, I know that I'm just a human'' ("True.") :'''Both''': ''But I/you know that I/you can draw my/your sword and fight'' :'''Connie''': ''With my short existence,'' ("Good.") ''I can make a difference'' ("Yes, excellent!") :''I can be there for him, I can be his knight.'' :'''Connie''': ''I can do it for him'' :'''Both''': ''You'd do it for her'' :'''Pearl''': ''Okay, now do that again'' ("Yes, ma'am.") :''You do it for her, and now you say'' :'''Connie''': ''I'll do it for him.'' <hr width=50%> :'''Amethyst''': ''[belly laughs]'' Wow, Garnet! That is the funniest thing I've ever heard! :'''Garnet''': Garnet, master of comedy. :'''Amethyst''': Hehehe... Yo, Steven. ''[pretend-yells]'' '''WHY ARE YOU STANDING THERE ALL SAD LIKE THAT?!?!''' :'''Steven''': W-well... Connie is taking sword fighting lessons from Pearl, but I think it's getting a little too serious. She wants Connie to do all this dangerous stuff for me. :'''Garnet''': That makes sense. :'''Steven''': What do you mean? :'''Garnet''': Back during the war, Pearl took pride in risking her destruction for your mother. She put Rose Quartz over everything — over logic, over consequence, over her own life. :''[Pearl and Rose switch to Connie and Steven, respectively. She charges at the enemy before cutting to Steven's horrified face]'' :'''Amethyst''': You okay, dude? :'''Steven''': I have to do something!! Thanks for telling me that, bye!! === ''Rising Tides, Crashing Skies'' === :'''RonaIdo''': I am now going to attempt to make contact with the mysterious, reclusive, ''[Steven comes out]'' and—ahh! :'''Steven''': Hi, Ronaldo! Uh, hi, Peedee. Is that a camera? :'''Peedee''': Yeah. We're making a movie about— :'''RonaIdo''': It's an investigative report, shot ''[[w:cinéma vérité|camera vérité]]''. :'''Steven''': Cool! :'''RonaIdo''': So... you wanna participate in a groundbreaking interview? :'''Steven''': Hmm. Only if ''you'' participate in a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade! ''[walks back inside]'' :''[cue Ronaldo and Steven in the Beach House]'' :'''Steven''': Ohh, that giant hand? It was a spaceship coming to get us. :'''RonaIdo''': Us?! I knew it! Steven, we know too much! :'''Steven''': No, not "us" us. I-I meant me and the Crystal Gems. :'''RonaIdo''': Wait. So the hand wasn't here to snatch up humans for a human zoo? Or interfere with our subsidized Beach City wind farm?! Or thaw the cryogenically frozen pets of the one percent!?! :'''Steven''': Uh... no, I'm pretty sure it came to Beach City for me and the Crystal Gems. :'''RonaIdo''': Oh. So, if you and the Crystal Gems weren't here, we wouldn't have been attacked by the giant hand? :'''Steven''': Ohh-hoh-hoh! Definitely not. === ''Keeping It Together'' === :'''Pearl''': Garnet, you don't think Peridot would come looking for us, do you? :'''Garnet''': We weren't her priority. She was sent here to do something in the Kindergarten. :'''Pearl''': Do you think she's still going to try to reactivate it? :'''Garnet''': Mm. If she gets it back up and running, the Injectors will turn back on. :'''Steven''': Injectors? What're those? :'''Pearl''': You've already seen them. ''[projects hologram from her gemstone]'' Well, you've seen them disabled. If Peridot reactivates them, they'll pick right up where they left off, planting gems in the crust of the Earth, where they'll incubate and suck the life right out of the ground. We can't let Peridot restart Gem production here. If we do... ''[sighs]'' the entire planet will become… :'''Garnet''': Janked. :'''Amethyst''': Garnet! ''[laughs]'' That mouth! ''[sniggers]'' :'''Garnet''': Don't worry. We'll stop her. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': We did it! Garnet? :'''Garnet/Ruby'''! So ''this'' is what Homeworld thinks of fusion! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': We couldn't have known they would do this. :'''Garnet/Ruby''': ''This'' is where they've been…all the ones we couldn't find… they've been here the whole time! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': Rose couldn't have known. :'''Garnet/Ruby''': This is punishment for the rebellion! :'''Garnet/Sapphire''': ''[breaking down]'' It's not our fault! :'''Steven''': Garnet! :'''Garnet''': S-Steven. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sliding down with Pearl]'' Yo! We're back. :'''Pearl''': Garnet, we lost Peridot. Her fingers were too fast for us. ''[two fused hands climb up on Amethyst and grabs them]'' Um… what are these things? :'''Garnet''': PUT THEM DOWN! :'''Steven''': Uh! :'''Pearl''': Wha...? ''[throws the hands away]'' :'''Garnet''': We need to poof and bubble all of them. We can't let any escape. ''[She poofs the hands as the screen turns black]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': What Homeworld did… taking the shattered parts of fallen Gems and combining them—those Gems weren't asked permission. Fusion is a choice. Those Gems weren't given a choice. It isn't right. It isn't fusion! <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven looks at Garnet as he takes the clothes out the dryer into the basket]'' :'''Steven''': What's it like... being a fusion? :'''Garnet''': You fused. :'''Steven''': I mean, like, all the time. Do you forget who you used to be? :'''Garnet''': You forget you were ever alone. You know when you fuse, you don't feel like two people. You feel like one being. And your old names might as well be names for your left arm, and your right. :'''Steven''': When you split up, is it like you disappear? :'''Garnet''': I embody my— I mean, Ruby and Sapphire's love. I always exist in them, even if I split apart. But the strength of that love keeps me together, so I can stay Garnet for a very long time. :'''Steven''': That's why you're so great! :'''Garnet''': ''[smiles]'' Ha. ''[Steven starts laughing, with a light blue colored sock being blown away]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no! ''[Garnet catches it]'' :'''Garnet''': Don't wanna break up a pair. :'''Steven''': ''[holds peach colored sock]'' Yeah, you're right. ''[Garnet folds socks into basket]'' They belong together. === ''We Need to Talk'' === :''[Greg re-watches Pearl and Rose's fusion dance, practices and falls down]'' :'''Greg''': Ah, geez! How'd she get her legs to do that? ''[groans]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hey! ''[looks at face-to-face with Garnet]'' Are you dead? :'''Greg''': Wha? Uh, no, no. I'm alive. :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, cool! ''[jumps over Greg, runs to the TV]'' It's us from before! :'''Greg''': Yeah, I was just... trying to get my head around this fusion dance. :'''Amethyst''': A fusion dance ain't about your head! ''[laughs out loud]'' :'''Greg''': Wait... you guys are Gems. You gotta help me out here. I need to be able to fuse with Rose! :'''Garnet''': First, you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Then you need the partner who you trust with that light. :'''Greg''': Metaphorically? :'''Garnet''': Literally. :'''Amethyst''': ''[whispers]'' Shh! Come on! I still wanna see him try! :'''Greg''': Ugh, so it's true. I really can't do it. ''[touches his face]'' I'm kidding myself with this! I'm never gonna be a Gem... ''[Garnet looks down and picks up a twig]'' :'''Garnet''': Amethyst... give us some privacy! ''[throws it far away]'' :'''Amethyst''': YEAH!! ''[scampers after it]'' :'''Garnet''': Let me tell you something, Mr. Universe. I think you can do it, but it won't work if you dance like Pearl. You have to dance like you. You have to fuse ''your'' way. Get open. Get honest. Invent yourselves together. ''[lowers her shades and winks left of her three eyes]'' That's fusion. :'''Greg''': EYE—think I get it. === ''Chille Tid'' === :'''Steven''': "Sleep is a curse, and yet a curse I need to live"—Steven Universe. ---- :'''Garnet''': Let me show you how it's done. ''(She falls over, stiff as a board)'' :'''Pearl''': That's pretty convincing. ---- :'''Steven''': Lapis! :'''Lapiz Lazuli''': No. I'm ''not'' Lapis anymore. We're Malachite now. === ''[[w:Cry for Help (Steven Universe)|Cry for Help]]'' === :'''Garnet''': It's as I feared. :''[The Communication Hub is glowing and shooting a beam of light towards the sky]'' :'''Pearl''': It looks like Peridot somehow repaired the Communication Hub. Well, at least some of it. :'''Steven''': So... we just gotta wreck it up again, right? (''to Amethyst'') You guys should form Sugilite! :'''Amethyst''': (''smiling a bit'') Yeah... Well, it's up to Garnet, I guess. (''smiling widely, to Garnet'') What do you say? ''[Pearl looks scared in the background]'' Shall we mash it up?... :'''Garnet''': No. :'''Amethyst''': But, don't we need to be huge like last time? :'''Garnet''': Last time was a disaster. Last time we fused, Sugilite went berserk. It's because of her that we can't even warp here anymore. (''takes off her visor'') I can be brash, you can be reckless. And we can both get carried away. So, for the time being, ''[She puts her visor back on and Amethyst's reflection can be seen in them]'' Sugilite is benched. What we need now is to be careful. ''[Steven gasps]'' It's you and me, Pearl. Let's fuse. ''[Pearl looks astonished as she begins to tear up]'' Don't cry, Pearl. ''[Pearl tries to not cry and quivers as she strongly breathes in through her nose, sniffling thickly]'' Come on, let's do this. :'''Pearl''': I'm right behind you. (''sniffling'') :'''Steven''': (''running towards them'') Woo-hoo! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! *sits to the left of Lion* (''Amethyst walks over'') :'''Garnet''': (''gemstones glow'') Ready. :'''Pearl''': (''grunts; stretches'') Hang on, it's been such a long time. ---- :'''Sardonyx''': Gooooood evening, everybody! (''struts over to Lion, Steven, and Amethyst and does a twirl'') This is the lovely Sardonyx! Coming to you ''a-live'' from the soon-to-be-former Communication Hub! How are y'all doin' tonight? :'''Amethyst''': (''sarcastically'') Great... :'''Steven''': (''gasps'') Giant woman! ---- :'''Amethyst''': ''Maybe you're better off with her / I think she's better for you / I forgot how great it felt to be us / Guess I got carried away. / I had to use you to make me feel strong / But I don't care about that now / I see a tower built out of my mistakes / And it all comes crashing down. / Is there something I can doo-oo / Is there something I can doo-oo-oo / Is there something I can doo-oo / Can I make it up to you?'' ---- :'''Amethyst''': Stop! :'''Pearl''': Is something the matter, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': You... you shouldn't. :'''Steven''': Pearl, we saw you. :'''Pearl''': (''shocked'') What? :'''Steven''': You need to tell Garnet it was you! :'''Garnet''': I don't understand. :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry. It's just... so much fun being Sardonyx with you. :'''Garnet''': ''[drops Pearl to the ground]'' ''That's'' why I couldn't see us finding Peridot. :'''Pearl''': Wait, let me explain! :'''Garnet''': You've been fixing the hub! :'''Pearl''': It really was Peridot! The first time. :'''Garnet''': You ''tricked'' me! :'''Pearl''': No! No, no, no, no! We just needed a reason to fuse! I just wanted to share a few more victories with you! :'''Garnet''': Those weren't ''victories''! :'''Amethyst''': Wait, Garnet! You know, we're so much weaker than you! Fusing with you is like our one chance to feel... ''stronger''! :'''Garnet''': Don't defend her! Peridot is out there somewhere and Pearl's been distracting us with... ''nothing''! :'''Pearl''': Garnet... :'''Garnet''': ''[angrily points at her]'' That's enough! ''[to Amethyst]'' Amethyst, fuse with me! :'''Amethyst''': But-! :'''Garnet''': (''clenching her fist'') Let's just get this over with. === ''Keystone Motel'' === :'''Steven''': Pearl! Where have you been?! :'''Pearl''': Looking for Peridot… For a few days straight. Steven, I know I might have… disappointed all of you. I know Garnet's very upset with me. But I'm going to prove to her that she can trust me again. ''[Garnet walks in through the front door]'' Oh! Garnet! I was just looking for Peridot! She's bound to be somewhere, right? Any new ideas? ''[Garnet says nothing and walks past her]'' I'm sorry ---- :'''Garnet''': ''[agitated, panting]'' Calm down... I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!... You don't understand, you must... If you're not going to listen, then you can just GO! ''[splits into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': ''[calmly]'' We must move past this, Ruby. :'''Ruby''': ''[furiously]'' She ''lied'' to us so we'd form Sardonyx! She ''tricked'' us! Don't you feel used?! :'''Sapphire''': You're choosing to take it personally. :'''Ruby''': IT'S ''FUSION'', SAPPHIRE! WHAT'S MORE PERSONAL TO US THAN ''FUSION?!'' :'''Sapphire''': I know you're still upset... :'''Ruby''': Oh, so it's just me?! :'''Sapphire''': Of course not. Can't you see I'm completely engulfed with rage? :'''Ruby''': Well, it doesn't feel like it! :'''Sapphire''': The sooner we forgive Pearl, the better it will be for us all. :'''Ruby''': YOU'RE NOT AS ABOVE THIS AS YOU THINK YOU ARE! ---- :'''Sapphire''': ''[about Ruby, while she shakes the table]'' This will pass. She'll eventually just burn herself out. :'''Ruby''': ''[angrily]'' THAT'S WHAT ''YOU'' THINK! '''I AM AN ETERNAL FLAME, BABY!''' ''[flips the table]'' :''[while Greg talks to Steven, arguing with each other simultaneously]'' :'''Ruby''': You don't know me! :'''Sapphire''': How could I possibly not know you? We always fuse! We always fuse, what are you even going on about fusion? :'''Ruby''': Look at you! ''[laughing]'' You don't even know yourself! Ha! :'''Sapphire''': So don't act so ridiculous. :'''Ruby''': ''I'm'' ridiculous?! :'''Sapphire''': Yes, yes. ---- :'''Steven''': I was so happy when Garnet said she wanted to go on this trip with me and Dad! Home's been awful! Here's been awful! I thought you wanted to have a fun time, but everyone's been acting awful too! It... it just came with us! I don't understand! Is it... is it me? :'''Ruby''': ...No! Steven, it's all us! :'''Sapphire''': But we made him feel like it was his fault... I keep looking into the future, when all of this has already been solved, as if it doesn't matter how you feel in the present! ''[starting to cry]'' No wonder you think I don't care...! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... No, nonononono! This is all my fault, I... I didn't want to look for a solution, I... I just wanted to be mad! You're right! You're always right! I was being stupid! :'''Sapphire''': I don't think you're stupid! :'''Ruby''': I'm... sorry. ''[gently brushes Sapphire's hair aside, revealing her sad eye]'' :'''Sapphire''': You honestly think I'm not upset about what happened? I was just... trying to do the right thing. :'''Ruby''': I know... ''[starts smiling]'' You know what's nice about being split up? :'''Sapphire''': What? :'''Ruby''': I get to look at you... :'''Sapphire''': ''[pushes her off, laughing]'' Be serious! :'''Ruby''': ''[hugs Sapphire]'' There's my Laughy Sapphy! :'''Sapphire''': Shh! You're embarrassing me in front of Steven! ''[cut to Steven, feeling awkward at the scene]'' === ''Historical Friction'' === :'''Steven''': Hey, Pearl! ''[sees a desolate Pearl sitting on the couch, looking at the ceiling]'' Pearl? :'''Pearl''': ''[jumps up]'' Steven! You're back! :'''Steven''': Yeah... ''[sits down]'' Show business is rough. :'''Pearl''': Is there something I can help you with? :'''Steven''': Not unless you can make William Dewey interesting. :'''Pearl''': How do ''you'' know William Dewey? :'''Steven''': I'm gonna be him in this play! But he's totally boring! He's perfect and he never makes mistakes. :'''Pearl''': ''[sigh]'' Wish I could say the same for myself. :'''Steven''': Yeah, but nobody's like that! Everybody gets stuff wrong, and then you have to keep going and it's hard, which is why it's great when you never stop trying! :'''Pearl''': ..When did you get so smart? === ''Friend Ship'' === :''[Steven and the Gems enter a room in the ship. Peridot appears on a projected screen]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[laughs]'' You Gems really are as dull as dirt! :'''Pearl''': You're the dull one if you thing you can fly this wreck! :'''Peridot''': ''[pauses]'' What? Can you speak louder? Some of these communicators are gunked up. :'''Steven''': ''[cleans off a microphone, speaks into it]'' Pearl says ''you're'' the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck! :'''Peridot''': ''[waits for Steven's response to come through] [laughs]'' Fly? I'm not using this vessel to fly. I'm using it to '''''TRAP YOU!''''' ''[a door closes, trapping Steven and the Gems in the room]'' Isn't this nice? No more Crystal Gems running around, messing with my plans, destroying my things. Looks like I've got you just where I want you. How does it feel to be so easily outsmarted, you '''''CLODS?!''''' :'''Pearl''': No... :'''Amethyst''': ''[speaks into the microphone]'' Hey, uh, this is Amethyst. I don't appreciate being called a clod, you clo- :'''Peridot''': Enough talk! Prepare yourselves for annihilation! ''[dramatically hits a button]'' Hiyah! ''[nothing happens, hits it again]'' Hiyah! :''[the room's laser cannons activate and take aim at Steven and the Gems]'' :'''Peridot''': It works! Yes! '''''DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIIIIE!''''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Pearl, stop. That isn't helping. :'''Pearl''': I have to do something. I can't believe I walked us right into Peridot's trap. This is all my… ''[Peridot's hologram disappears as the ground starts to shake]'' fault? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': ''[thru screen]'' Garnet… I'm sorry! :'''Amethyst''': Wait a sec! :'''Pearl''': Things weren't supposed to turn out this way... ''[inside, Garnet punches the wall again]'' :'''Garnet''': We'll get outta here somehow. :'''Pearl''': ''[sighs]'' That's not what I mean! I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did... ''[Garnet withdraws her gauntlets]'' I wanted to prove to you that... that everything could go back to normal... :'''Garnet''': Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal. ''[thru screen]'' This isn't about Peridot. :'''Amethyst''': Hey... they're actually talking! :'''Steven''': Now they can finally work things out! :''[soon, the gears start to activate and turn and start closing into the trapped two]'' :'''Amethyst''': Not if they get crushed! :''[both Garnet and Pearl push their unflinching sides]'' :'''Pearl''': Please! Tell me! How can I make you forgive me?! :'''Garnet''': You can't! You lied to me! You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions! :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry! I... I couldn't help myself! :'''Garnet''': ''[kicks opposite side of wall next to Pearl]'' I don't want to hear your excuses! :'''Pearl''': But it's true! No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl. I'm useless on my own. ''[cries]'' I need someone to tell me what to do. :''[the walls suddenly stop moving; Both Amethyst and Steven pull her whip on its gears in its place. Garnet and Pearl pause for a beat]'' :'''Pearl''': When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you. Confident and secure, and complete. You're perfect. You're the perfect relationship. You're always together, I just... I wanted to be a part of that. :'''Garnet''': You're wrong! I'm not as strong as you think. I fell apart over this. Ruby and Sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me. ''[thru screen]'' I came undone. :'''Amethyst''': Whoa, that really happened? :'''Steven''': ''[nods]'' Hm. :'''Garnet''': It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too, but I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone. Please understand, Pearl. ''[thru screen]'' You have an impact too. ''[inside]'' There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your ''own'' gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again. :'''Pearl''': I understand. I can't give up anymore! :'''Garnet''': Good. === ''Nightmare Hospital'' === :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': ''[sighs]'' I had a rough day at work and I'm not in the mood for any more surprises. :'''Connie''': Whatsyjf happened at work? :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': There was a really strange case at the hospital today, straight out of a ''nightmare''. ''[beat]'' Oh, don't worry, the rules of doctor-patient confidentiality keep me from sharing the graphic details, but... Hang on a moment. When did we get a coat rack? :'''Connie''': Oh, no... :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': A ''SWORD''?! Connie, where did you get this?! :'''Steven''': I-it's— :'''Connie''': I found it! I just... found it outside and I wanted to show it to Steven. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': How could you possibly think this is okay?! :'''Connie''': It's— :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Do you know how many children I see everyday in the hospital who've cut their faces off playing with swords?! :'''Connie''': I— :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': NONE!! Because they all have parents who love them, and who don't let them play around with deadly weapons like some kind of gang member! No playing with swords, under any circumstances! ''[her cell phone rings, answers it]'' This is Dr. Maheswaran. Yes, calm down, Stromberg. Another one? :'''Steven''': ''[to Connie]'' Is she gonna give it back? :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': All right, I'll-I'll be right there. ''[zips sword in duffle bag]'' I have to go to the hospital. I'll have a talk with your father to calculate just how grounded you are. ''[leaves, comes back]'' And we're using the abacus! ''[leaves again]'' :'''Connie''': I ''hate'' that abacus. Steven, I'm so sorry. She took your mother's sword! :'''Steven''': Maybe we can get her to change her mind? :'''Connie''': She never ''ever'' changes her mind. We've got to get that sword back ourselves. <hr width=50%> :'''Connie''': Mom... I'm really sorry about lying to you. It started off as a tiny secret, and then I felt like if I didn't hide it, you wouldn't let me see Steven ever again. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Is that how you feel? Are we too controlling? :'''Connie''': ..Maybe. :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': I just wanted to be a good mother. I... I just wanted to protect you. :'''Connie''': I can protect myself now! ''[Dr. Maheswaran pauses for a long beat, sighs]'' :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': Okay. ''[Connie winces]'' We'll... pull back on the rules, and I'll try to keep an open mind about ''[Connie's lenses]'' this, and ''[Lion]'' that, and... him. ''[Steven stays frightened]'' It scares me that you can't talk to me. I need to know what's happening in your life. I... I need to step in when you're in over your head. Would you just promise me you'll stop all this lying? :'''Connie''': ''[beat]'' That's a rule. ''[they embrace each other]'' :'''Dr. Maheswaran''': I love you, honey. :'''Connie''': I love you too, Mom. === ''Sadie's Song'' === :'''Sadie''': Please, Mom. Don't make me do this. :'''Barb''': Make you? You said you wanted to sing. :'''Sadie''': Yeah! I did! I did! I did, I did. Just like I say lots of things like, "Hey, Mom. Swimming looks fun", then bam! Suddenly, I'm anchoring a 400 meter relay for the Beach City Seals. "Hey, Mom. I thought signing up for softball would be nice." 6 birthdays later, I'm still getting nothing but kneepads and batting helmets. "Hey, Mom. I wanna sing at this year's Beachapalooza", and what do I get? THIS! I just thought, for once, I get to do things my way, but you came in and took over everything like you always do. :'''Barb''': I just wanted everyone to know how talented my daughter is. :'''Sadie''': THIS is not your daughter. :'''Barb''': ''[stunned]'' I'm sorry. === ''Catch and Release'' === :'''Steven''': ''[getting padded by Peridot]'' Why are you acting like this?! :'''Peridot''': You smashed me into a limbless cloud, you trapped me in your bubble dungeon, and you called me... ''cute''! ''[Steven evades her punch, face-flat on the floor]'' :'''Steven''': I didn't poof you! I freed you! ''[Peridot turns back]'' :'''Peridot''': Why would you make such a miscalculation? :'''Steven''': Back at the warp pad, what were you trying to say? Why do we need you? What do you know? :'''Peridot''': What do I know? Everything there is to know about the Cluster, you pebble! :'''Steven''': Cluster? Wait, pebble? :'''Peridot''': My mission. The reason why I'm on this sad rock in the first place! I was to check progress on the Cluster! Just in and out, before it hatches. I wasn't supposed to get stuck here! But now it's going to emerge and nothing can stop it, and we'll all be shattered!! :'''Steven''': Okay, okay, wait, slow down. Now, from the top—emerging, hatching, Clusters? :'''Peridot''': You wanna know? :'''Steven''': Yes. :'''Peridot''': You ''really'' wanna know? :'''Steven''': Yes? <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[in bathroom]'' Hmm... Seems I've discovered some sort of archaic... think chamber. Roomy, with a fresh hint of Earth citrus. ''[lifts toilet seat]'' A perfect crossroads for my escape. :'''Amethyst''': ''[fiddling the bathroom doorknob]'' It's locked. :'''Garnet''': Peridot, open the door! ''[flushing sounds are heard]'' :'''Amethyst''': Uh, if you're trying to flush yourself down the toilet, it ''won't'' work. ''[cut to Peridot spinning inside the toilet bowl]'' Trust me, I've tried. :'''Pearl''': How did she get out?! We bubbled her! :'''Amethyst''': Maybe we needed a bigger bubble. :'''Garnet''': My bubbles are fine. :'''Steven''': ''[sweating nervously]'' I did it. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' Steven, why would you do such a thing?! <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': I'm tired of playing these games. If we can't fight her, fine. We'll talk. Peridot! :'''Peridot''': ''[slips off the sink]'' Whoa! :'''Garnet''': All right, no more fighting. Let's just have a civil conversation. :'''Peridot''': As if I'd negotiate with you, filthy war machine! :'''Garnet''': ''[summons gauntlets]'' Okay, let's kick her butt. :'''Steven''': Wait! :'''Peridot''': Yeah! Destroy me again! ''[hangs on bath curtain pole with a plunger]'' And have fun trying to talk to me when I'm in a ''bubble''! ''[almost slips off]'' :'''Pearl''': I really hate to say it, but unfortunately if she has information, she's more valuable to us like… this. :'''Garnet''': This is going to be tricky. ''[hear knobs turning, water splashing]'' :'''Peridot''': H-h-hot hot hot!! :'''Steven''': You have to turn the knob the other way for cold! ''[later in the kitchen with the Gems]'' Wait, so we're just gonna let her live in my bathroom? :'''Pearl''': Well, yes. What other option do we have? Keep her outside on a leash? === ''When It Rains'' === :'''Garnet''': ''[banging on the bathroom door]'' Open the door, Peridot! If this "Cluster" is putting us in danger, you need to tell us what it is so we can stop it! :'''Peridot''': No! I hate you! I'm not telling you anything about the Cluster! :'''Amethyst''': Oh, come on. Is it like a big, hunk of granola? :'''Peridot''': What's granola? :'''Pearl''': I'm sure it's not granola. Now, Peridot, I'm sure we can reach some sort of agreement. Perhaps a trade is in order? :'''Peridot''': Oh, sure. Why don't you just give me back my leg enhancements and my arm attachments with my screen and my log and all my information. Oh, wait, YOU DESTROYED THEM! So, no, I don't think we can reach some sort of agreement! :'''Steven''': ''[flushing the toilet]'' Okay, Peridot, you can turn around now. ''[exits the bathroom, clears throat]'' Sorry for interrupting your interrogation. :'''Garnet''': Don't worry about it, Steven. :'''Pearl''': I swear, Peridot is gonna crack any second now. :'''Peridot''': I'll ''never'' crack for the likes of you, you… Crystal Clods! ''[laughs]'' :'''Pearl''': ''[angrily]'' Ooh, I got your clods right here, you little…! :'''Garnet''': ''[puts her hand on her shoulder]'' Hold on, Pearl. If she's not gonna be of any help, let's investigate this thing on our own. :'''Steven''': I'll come with you. :'''Garnet''': Sorry, Steven. We're gonna need you to stay here and keep an eye on our…''guest.'' :'''Steven''': Really? :'''Amethyst''': Yeah. Make sure she doesn't try anything. :'''Pearl''': Don't worry. She's harmless without her limb enhancers. :'''Peridot''': I'M NOT HARMLESS! :'''Pearl''': Oh, hush up! <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': These are the early attempts at artificial fusion. :'''Steven''': That's a lot of gem shards. :'''Peridot''': We were growing them here at this very site. But these were just prototypes for the final product, a singular giant artificial fusion, comprised of millions of gem shards…the Cluster. :'''Steven''': Peridot, you're saying there's a giant mutant gem the size of the Earth under us right now? :'''Peridot''': Oh, no. When it forms, it'll be much, much bigger than the Earth. Right now, it lies dormant, incubating in the Earth's core. But when it emerges and takes its physical form, it will destroy the planet. The prototypes are already emerging. The Cluster is next. If we can't get off this planet, we've got to stop the Cluster! I thought it'd be impossible, but now we have a chance. :'''Steven''': What is it? :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs Steven's shoulders and grins malevolently]'' It's you, Steven! ''[she and Steven climb out of the control room]'' Now that you're filled in, we can get to work! :'''Steven''': Uhh, how am I supposed to help? :'''Peridot''': Well, you have all the information that we need about Earth and its erratic behavior. Put that together with my expansive knowledge of the Cluster and we just might be able to stop it! :'''Steven''': No, Peridot, I don't think you get it! Just because I know how clouds work doesn't mean I know how to stop a giant mutant in the center of the earth! Besides, the only reason that I know anything about clouds and rain is because my dad told me. :'''Peridot''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': I used to be really scared of thunderstorms, just like you. Then Dad explained how rain and all that stuff works, then I wasn't scared of rain anymore. :'''Peridot''': Well, I'm sure you have other knowledge about how this planet works. :'''Steven''': Sure, but none of it's going to help us. If we want to stop this Cluster thing, we'll need help from the Crystal Gems. :'''Peridot''': I said I don't need them! Let's just warp me back to the bathroom, or whatever you call it, and we'll take care of this. If it looks really bad, then we can just ask this "dad" for help, right? === ''Back to the Barn'' === :'''Peridot''': What is that?! :'''Steven''': ''[speaking with the Cluster puppet]'' It's the Cluster. :'''Peridot''': It does not look like that. But it ''is'' real, and it can activate at any moment! :'''Amethyst''': What a cluster. :'''Garnet''': That abomination must be stopped. :'''Pearl''': But how? We'll need to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth, it'll have to- :'''Peridot''': ''[swats at Pearl, interrupting her]'' Hey! I wasn't finished speaking! What we ''need'' is to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': All right. What we have here in the barn should be adequate enough for us to get started. First, I recommend we organize the component types, and assemble a rough blueprint based off what we have available. Sorry, Steven. It's a lovely drawing, but it won't look like this. ''[Steven stops spinning on the swivel chair, now frowning]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[examines piece of chalk]'' Hmm... Good. Yes, this is adequate. Thank you. You can go now. :'''Pearl''': ..Uh, what? :'''Peridot''': Hm? ''[beat]'' Umm, that will be all? ''[claps to her for a beat, whispers to Steven]'' How do you get her to leave? :'''Pearl''': Excuse me, I am not leaving. :'''Steven''': Yeah! She's gotta stay here to help us build the drill thing, right? :'''Peridot''': ''[laughs]'' No, no, you're confused. A Pearl can't build a thing like this. :'''Steven''': Why not? :'''Peridot''': Because Pearls aren't ''for'' this! They're... for standing around, an-and looking nice, and uh... holding your stuff for you. Right? :'''Pearl''': That's enough! If we're going to work together, you're going to have to listen to me. :'''Peridot''': Listen to you? ''[starts laughing, turns to Steven]'' Did you teach her to talk like this? :'''Steven''': What are you talking about? :'''Peridot''': She's a Pearl. She's a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other Pearls being flaunted around back on Homeworld. :'''Steven''': Wait... There's hundreds of Pearls?! :'''Pearl''': ''[nervous]'' Well... yes, but— :'''Peridot''': ''[holding Pearl's sash]'' And she looks like a fancy one, too. ''[Pearl gasps]'' :'''Steven''': Hundreds of Pearls... :'''Peridot''': So, who do you belong to anyway? :'''Pearl''': ''[grabs her sash away from her]'' Nobody!! :'''Peridot''': Then... what are you for? ''[Pearl recoils back]'' Well, you can belong to me for now. Ha! A Peridot with a Pearl? What would they say back home? :'''Pearl''': Now listen here, you tiny twerp! In case you've forgotten, you're on ''our'' turf now! And I didn't fight a thousand-year war for this planet's independence to take orders from the likes of ''you''!! :'''Peridot''': Excuse me? I am a natural technician and a certified Kindergartener. I was made for this! You were made to take orders, not to give them! :'''Steven''': Whoa, whoa, hang on, guys! Now, we can all agree that you are both good at building things, so... can't you just try listening to each other? :'''Both''': <big>'''''NO!!'''''</big> :'''Pearl''': I'm as good at building things as you! Better, even! :'''Peridot''': Hah! Name one thing you can engineer better! Go on! :'''Steven''': ''[whispers]'' Robots. :'''Both''': Hm? :'''Steven''': You should build robots. Giant robots! I see a race. A giant robo-race... with prizes. Giant robo-prizes! :'''Pearl''': You mean like a competition? :'''Steven''': Yeah! To see who's better at building stuff! :'''Peridot''': What are these robots you speak of? :'''Steven''': They're like those funky marble guys you were sending—only bigger, and you can ride them! ''[makes robot noises]'' :'''Peridot''': Hah! Building one of these robots will be easy! :'''Pearl''': Well, I can build one faster! :'''Peridot''': That's what you think! === ''Too Far'' === :'''Peridot''': ''[talking into a recorder]'' Log date 7 11 2. It's the third rotation of the Earth since commencements of a... collaborative approach to stopping the Cluster. :'''Pearl''': I've finished drawing up the blueprints for the drill head. Peridot, if you could come take a look at this? :'''Peridot''': Remind me again why I should listen to you? Oh, right. ''[plays recorder]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder] "The Pearl here has developed an aptitude for engineering that I begrudgingly respect. But that doesn't explain the spontaneous singing... crying... singing while crying." [Amethyst laughs]'' :'''Pearl''': ''[to Steven] [annoyed]'' Why did you give her that? :'''Steven''': Well, we did destroy all her stuff. I thought it might help make her feel a little better. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder] "Clod!" [fast-forwards] "Mighty clod!" [fast-forwards] "Running out of ways to say clod."'' :'''Garnet''': All right. I chased away those cows. Now let's get to work. :'''Peridot''': ''[to Garnet] [clears throat]'' Before we begin, would you mind unfusing? It's making me incredibly uncomfortable. :''[beat as Steven, Amethyst and Pearl nervously look to Garnet. The scene then cuts to Garnet leashing Peridot to a fence.] :'''Peridot''': ''[as Garnet walks away]'' What?! What'd I say?! :'''Steven''': Did we really have to do that? :'''Garnet''': Her having free reign of the place made ''me'' incredibly uncomfortable. <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven and Amethyst walk up to a leashed Peridot growling over a microwave]'' :'''Peridot''': I just need some sort of leverage optimizer... :'''Amethyst''': Leverage optimizer? :'''Peridot''': That's what I said. :'''Amethyst''': Ohhh! Ha! You mean you want a screwdriver? ''[laughing]'' :'''Peridot''': Do you have one or not? :'''Steven''': Uh... ''[hands a screwdriver]'' Why don't you just use this one? :'''Peridot''': Because it was outside my radius. :'''Amethyst''': He-hey... Hey, Peridot... ''[points to her nose]'' What do you call this? :'''Peridot''': A scent sponge. :'''Steven''': Huh? ''[Amethyst laughs some more]'' :'''Amethyst''': Okay... ''[opens her eye]'' what's this? :'''Peridot''': Vision sphere. :'''Steven''': Peridot, that's— :'''Amethyst''': Wait, wait, Steven! Peridot... ''[waves her fingers]'' these? :'''Peridot''': ''[getting annoyed]'' Touch stumps. :'''Amethyst''': ''[points to her foot]'' This?! :'''Peridot''': Gravity connectors. :'''Amethyst''': ''This''?! :'''Peridot''': '''THAT'S YOUR BUTT!!!''' ''[Steven and Amethyst laugh out loud]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, man, Peridot, you're killing me! :'''Peridot''': I am not! That would violate our truce agreement! :'''Amethyst''': No, no, no! You're funny! :'''Peridot''': Funny? <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': The strangest thing is, Amethyst... you think you have to listen to them! ''[laughs]'' You are the one they should put you in charge! :'''Amethyst''': Ha! That's your best joke yet. :'''Peridot''': No, really. Pearl is a Pearl. Garnet is a fusion. I don't even know what ''he's'' supposed to be. :'''Steven''': Hey! :'''Peridot''': You're the only Crystal Gem that's actually a Gem! :'''Amethyst''': Uh... ''[laughs nervously]'' What? :'''Peridot''': You outrank everyone on your team. They should be listening to you. You're a strong, singular, fully-functional soldier, despite the fact that you're defective. :'''Amethyst''': ..Defective? :'''Peridot''': Well, sure. You're small. :'''Amethyst''': So? :'''Peridot''': Well, you're not supposed to be! Hold on, wait, wait. Let me guess. ''[points to Amethyst's hole]'' This— ''[runs to hole]'' This is the hole you came out of. Too small, too low, the exit marks look about 500 years newer than every other hole. Hmm... this place must have been empty when you came out. No wonder you have no idea what you're supposed to look like! :'''Steven''': Peridot... ''[Amethyst holds Steven on the shoulder]'' :'''Amethyst''': What was I supposed to look like? :'''Peridot''': Well, you're a quartz. They're huge, loyal soldiers. You should be twice your size. Broad shouldered, intimidating, but you simply stayed in the ground too long. :'''Amethyst''': Are you saying I'm wrong?! :'''Peridot''': ''[laughing]'' Gemetically speaking, yes. When you think about it it's also... ''[snickers]'' funny! ''[Amethyst feels more enraged]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst? :'''Peridot''': Hey, soldier. Maybe you can help me get this hunk of drill off. :''[Amethyst violently slashes the drill head off of an Injector with her whip]'' :'''Peridot''': See? Look at that! You can do everything a normal quartz can do. Let's head back and shove this thing in Pearl's face! :'''Steven''': Amethyst? Are you okay? :'''Amethyst''': Don't worry about it. <hr width=50% /> :'''Pearl''': ''WE LEAVE FOR ONE SECOND AND EVERYTHING GOES OFF THE RAILS!'' :'''Garnet''': I blame the cows. <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' "''Log date 7 11 2. This entire planet is backwards. There hasn't been one instance of correct behavior exhibited by anyone of these Crystal Gems. I have concluded that they are all defective. But I am no better. I failed my mission and I'm now working with the enemy. And I can't even get that right. I have apparently "hurt" Amethyst's "feelings", which was not my intent. If I damaged my standing with the best Gem here, then I've made a serious mistake. I'm still learning. I hope you understand. I want to understand. I'm sorry. [pause] Peridot, Facet 5, end log.''" === ''The Answer'' === :'''Sapphire''': My Diamond, I have arrived. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond spoke… :'''Blue Diamond''': Sapphire, tell me what will happen here. :'''Sapphire''': I foresee the rebels attacking the Cloud Arena. Before they are cornered, they will destroy the physical forms of seven gems, including two of my Ruby guards, and myself. Immediately after my form is destroyed, the rebels will be captured. The rebellion ends here. :'''Blue Diamond''': Thank you, Sapphire. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond said, relieved. :'''Blue Diamond''': That's all I needed to know. :'''Sapphire''': I look forward to speaking with you again once I reform back on Homeworld. <hr width=50% /> :'''Rose''': ''[off-screen]'' Blue Diamond, leave this planet! This colony will ''not'' be completed! :'''Ruby Guard''': It's the rebels! :'''Various Gems''': Who are you?! Show yourselves! :'''Rose''': ''[floating from above Pearl]'' We… :'''Rose & Pearl''': …are the Crystal Gems! :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The attack was right on schedule. <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The furious crowd closed in around Ruby and Sapphire. They'd never seen fusion of two different types of gems. :'''Various Gems''': Unbelievable! Disgusting! This is unheard of! :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Blue Diamond's voice cut through the crowd. :'''Blue Diamond''': The rebels have fled. Sapphire, this is ''not'' the scenario you described. :'''Sapphire''': This is… not what I saw! I don't know what happened, I… :'''Ruby''': No! It was me! :'''Blue Diamond''': Clearly. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Said Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': How dare you fuse with a member of my court? :'''Ruby''': Forgive me, I… :'''Blue Diamond''': You will be broken for this! <hr width=50% /> :'''Both''': ''Where did we go, what did we do?'' :''I think we made something entirely new'' :''And it wasn't quite me and it wasn't quite you'' :''I think it was someone entirely new.'' :'''Ruby''': ''Oh, um'' :''Well, I just can't stop thinking'' :'''Sapphire''': ''So, um'' :''Did you say I was different?'' :'''Ruby''': ''And you hadn't before'' :'''Sapphire''': ''Of course not'' :''When would I have ever?'' :'''Ruby''': ''I'm so sorry'' :'''Sapphire''': ''No, no, don't be'' :'''Ruby''': ''And now you're here forever!'' :'''Sapphire''': ''What about you?'' :'''Ruby''': ''What about me?'' :'''Sapphire''': ''Well, you're here too'' :''We're here together.'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm'' :'''Both''': ''Mm-m-m-m-mm, hm-m-m-m-m'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm'' :''Mm-m-m-m-mm...'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' I was back. I was someone and I didn't know who. But I felt I was getting the hang of my strange new form. ''[beat]'' And then I fell. :'''Fusion''': Ahh! ''[tumbling down a hill and crashes in bushes]'' Ouch... ''[a sword is pointed to her face]'' Aahh! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt... me? :''[pan up to see Pearl as the sword bearer]'' :'''Pearl''': It's you... the fusion. :'''Fusion''': We didn't mean to fuse! Well... well, we did this time. We'll unfuse! We-we'll... w-we'll... ''[Rose Quartz comes by]'' :'''Rose''': No, no, please. I'm glad to see you again. :'''Garnet''': And there they were—Rose Quartz, the leader of the rebellion and her terrifying renegade Pearl. :'''Fusion''': I don't... upset you? :'''Rose''': Who cares about how I feel? How ''you'' feel is bound to be much more interesting. :'''Fusion''': How I feel? I-I feel... uh, lost... and scared... a-and happy. W-Why am I so sure that I'd rather be this than everything I was supposed to be, and that I'd rather do this than everything I was supposed to do? ''[Rose chuckles and smiles]'' :'''Rose''': Welcome to Earth. :'''Fusion''': C-Can you tell me?! How was Ruby able to alter fate? Or, why was Sapphire willing to give up everything? W-What am I?! :'''Rose''': No more questions. Don't ''ever'' question this. You already are the answer. :''[Flashback story ends as Garnet concludes]'' :'''Steven''': So…what was it? The answer? :'''Garnet''': ''[whispers]'' Love. :'''Steven''': Wow… I knew it. :'''Garnet''': So did I. === ''Steven's Birthday'' === :''[Steven runs and hides to an edge of the barn; he de-ages into his normal state]'' :'''Steven''': Ohhh, geez! If I can just keep this up for the rest of my life, no one will suspect a thi— :''[he sees wide-eyed Amethyst and Greg staring at Steven for a beat; he drops a piñata stick]'' :'''Amethyst''': What are you doing?! :'''Steven''': ''[stammers]'' U-uh— well, what are ''[ages back]'' you doing? :'''Greg''': What are ''you'' doing to your body?! :'''Amethyst''': Woah, woah, woah... Have you been stretching yourself out all day?! :'''Steven''': No! I was just... slouching. :'''Greg''': Why are you doing this? It... really isn't like you. :'''Steven''': Because, Dad! I can't stay a kid forever! When Connie grows up and becomes president, what is that gonna make me? First Boy?! :'''Amethyst''': Steven, you can't just keep stretching forever. If you hold it too long, you could really hurt yourself. :'''Steven''': Yeah, well, I'm half-human so maybe it works different for me! We'll just have to wait and see, right?! :'''Greg''': ''[sighs]'' Steven... <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': ''[trying to cheer up baby Steven but fails]'' My power means nothing to an infant. <hr width=50%/> :''[Greg, Connie and Amethyst (as a baby car seat for baby Steven) drive up in his van; Connie waves a maraca trying to calm down baby Steven]'' :'''Connie''': How can the Gems not know what to do?! :'''Greg''': You think they know the first thing about raising a baby? That was all me! But I don't get it. Driving always used to calm him down. :'''Connie''': But, how do we change him back?! :'''Greg''': I don't know! Look, Connie, let me take you home. I-I'll call you when this all this gets sorted out. :''[Connie turns to baby Steven babbling and crying]'' :'''Connie''': W-Wait, no! I wanna stay. :'''Greg''': Are you sure? :'''Connie''': Yeah! I just want to be there for Steven. Don't worry, Steven. It doesn't matter to me what age it seems like you are, I wanna hang out with you no matter what. Your dad still has to earn his car wash and the Gems have to do gem stuff, so I'll watch you when they're not around. I can come see you after I'm done training with Pearl, too. Doesn't that sound fun? ''[baby Steven holds onto her finger; coos happily]'' :'''Greg''': Look at that! He finally stopped crying. :'''Connie''': Well, that's a start. ''[Amethyst clears her throat]'' :'''Greg''': What's up, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': Baby Steven needs changin'. === ''It Could've Been Great'' === :'''Steven''': ''Life and death and love and birth'' :''And peace and war on the planet Earth'' :''Is there anything that's worth more'' :''Than peace and love on the planet Earth?'' :''Whoahh, come on and sing it with me'' :'''Peridot''': Sing? :'''Steven''': ''The words relate to the key'' :'''Peridot''': Key? :'''Steven''': ''If it's a pattern, if it's a pattern'' :''Then just repeat after me.'' :''Life and death and love and birth'' :'''Peridot''': ''Life and death and love and birth'' :'''Steven''': ''Now using mi-fa-mi-mi-fa-mi-ti-la!'' :'''Both''': ''And peace and war on the planet Earth.'' :'''Steven''': Yes, yes! That's it! :'''Peridot''': That's so easy. :'''Steven''': Yeah, but that's what's fun about it! You should write something, you should write a song. :'''Peridot''': About what? :'''Steven''': Whatever you're thinking. <hr width=25% /> :'''Peridot''': ''I guess we're already here, I guess we already know'' :''We've all got something to fear, we've all got nowhere to go'' :''I think you're all '''insane''', but I guess I am too'' :''Anybody would be if they were stuck on Earth with you.'' :'''Steven''': ''[laughing]'' Yes! ''Life and death and love and birth and'' :'''Amethyst''': ''Life and death and love and birth and'' :'''Pearl''': ''Life and death and love and birth'' :''And peace and war on the planet Earth.'' :'''Garnet''': ''Is there anything that's worth more'' :'''Steven''': ''Is there anything that's worth more'' :'''Peridot''': ''Is there anything that's worth more'' :''Than peace and love on the planet Earth?'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': Huh? Hey, Peridot, who is this supposed to be? :'''Peridot''': ''[runs up and gasps at the mural]'' It's Blue Diamond! Wait. Are they ''all'' here?! Ah, yes! There she is! :'''Steven''': Who? :''[They run up to the mural of Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Peridot''': Behold, Yellow Diamond! Isn't she magnificent? :'''Steven''': Wow! So, who are the Diamonds anyway? They seem like a big deal. :'''Peridot''': Are you joking me? The Diamonds are the Gem matriarchs! Together, they make up the Great Diamond Authority that governs Homeworld and all the outlying colonies! We live to serve them. ''[Garnet clears her throat and glares down at her in annoyance; nervously chuckles]'' I…I mean, we were all made to serve them, even though some of us don't anymore. <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': This is so incredible! Only the most elite can enter these symptoms. We are literally walking in the footsteps of the Diamonds! :'''Steven''': They must really like stairs. :''[They enter an upstairs room with only a single mysterious object in the middle]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, what's this room? :'''Garnet''': ''[continues walking upstairs]'' It's not what we came for. :'''Amethyst''': Can we hurry it up? This place gives me the creeps. <hr width=50% /> :''[Peridot brings up a hologram of Earth, which starts eroding to a hollowed-out version with a ring system as Steven and the Gems awe in shock]'' :'''Peridot''': Ta-da! A finished Earth colony. Wow, look at this! Eighty-nine Kindergartens, sixty-seven spires, a Galaxy Warp in each facet, efficient use of all available materials. What were you thinking shutting this operation down?! It could've been great! :'''Garnet''': No! You're wrong! :'''Peridot''': What do you mean? It's perfect. Look at it! :'''Pearl''': We ''are'' looking at it. :'''Amethyst''': Yeah, this plan stinks! :'''Garnet''': Completing this colony would have meant the extinction of all life on Earth! :'''Peridot''': But think of the good it would've done! The Gems that would've been made are empire expanded! :'''Pearl''': Rose Quartz believed all life was precious and ''worth'' protecting. :'''Peridot''': Well, if she wanted to protect it, she did a lousy job! There'd be no Cluster if the Earth had stayed a colony! Now there's no colony, and there's gonna be no Earth! So thank you, Rose Quartz, you doomed the planet! :''[Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst stare angrily at Peridot for a beat]'' :'''Steven''': Ohh-hoh-hoh! ''[nervously]'' Is there anything that's worth more than— ''[Garnet picks up Peridot]'' :'''Garnet''': You listen to me now. ''[summons gauntlet]'' You were talking about things that you do ''not'' understand. :'''Steven''': Garnet! Stop, please! It's not worth it. We're done here. Let's just go home. :''[Garnet drops Peridot on the seat and smashes the control panel with her gauntlet and the hologram dissipates; the Gems start leaving soon after. Steven sighs]'' :'''Peridot''': What'd I say? I'm just stating a fact. The rebellion didn't really save Earth, it just delayed the inevitable. :'''Steven''': ''[sighs]'' That's not the way they see it. They've spent thousands of years trying to protect the Earth. I thought maybe you finally understood why. === ''Message Received'' === :'''Peridot''': Wait! I— I wouldn't have called just to waste your time with a report. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You already have. :'''Peridot''': ''[nervously]'' No, I mean... The reason I called – the ''real'' reason... I believe we should terminate the Cluster. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ...''Why?'' :'''Peridot''': The organic ecosystem creates resources unique to this world. We can't sacrifice all that potential just for one geo-weapon! I'd like to tell you some plans I came up with to utilize the planet without disrupting the local— :'''Yellow Diamond''': I've heard enough! I don't care about potential and resources. :'''Peridot''': What? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I want my Cluster, and I want that planet to ''die''. Just make that happen. :'''Peridot''': ...No! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Huh?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Are you questioning my authority? :'''Peridot''': I'm questioning your objectivity! My Diamond. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Well! ''[Yellow Diamond stands up]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': You are out of line. :'''Peridot''': I just think— :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm not interested in the puny thoughts of a Peridot. :'''Peridot''': But— :'''Yellow Diamond''': You have disrespected this channel and my time with your presence, and you would do well to— :'''Peridot''': But— :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''Shut your mouth!!'' ''[beat]'' You have failed at every stage of this mission! Your only chance to redeem yourself is to obey this simple order: You are to leave the Cluster to grow. It will tear apart the Earth, and I will take immense satisfaction in erasing that hideous rock off of our star maps! ''Is that clear?!'' :'''Peridot''': I won't do it!! I can tell you with certainty that there are things on this planet worth protecting! ''[Steven smiles]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you know about the Earth?! :'''Peridot''': ''[losing her temper]'' APPARENTLY MORE THAN ''YOU'', YOU... <big>'''''CLOD!'''''</big> ''[Yellow Diamond suddenly becomes incredibly livid at a petrified Peridot]'' Uhh... Peridot out. :''[She terminates communication; Steven and the Gems come out from hiding and happily congratulate Peridot]'' :'''Steven''': That was AMAZING! :'''Peridot''': ''[sweating and looking devastated]'' I can't believe I just did that... :'''Steven''': I was so wrong about being so wrong about you! :'''Peridot''': ''[still sweating and devastated]'' I can't believe I just did that...! :'''Garnet''': You thought you could change her mind. :'''Amethyst''': Yellow D got torn down by the "Peridactyl"! :'''Peridot''': ''[sighs and gives the communicator to Pearl]'' Can one of you take this? :'''Pearl''': Why? :'''Peridot''': Because it can be remotely detonated. :''[The communicator starts to glow red; Steven and the Gems panic while Peridot curls up into a ball on the ground]'' :'''Pearl''': How do we stop it?! :'''Garnet''': Just get rid of it! :'''Pearl''': Err, here, Amethyst! ''[passes it to her]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT?!'' :''[She throws it to Steven, who bubbles it; Garnet punches it away into the sky, where it explodes harmlessly]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[still curled up]'' I thought I could reason with her... :'''Amethyst''': ''[grinning]'' Yeah, you ''REALLY'' made her mad. :'''Pearl''': ''[smiling]'' And then you insulted her to her face. :'''Steven''': ''[overjoyed]'' Do you know what this means?! :'''Peridot''': I'm a traitor to my Homeworld. :'''Steven''': ''You're a Crystal Gem!!!'' ''[hugs Peridot]'' :'''Garnet''': ''[smiling]'' Whether you like it or not. :''[Peridot starts groaning loudly as the camera zooms out to the whole of Earth]'' === ''Log Date 7 15 2'' === :'''Peridot''': Log date 7 15 2. I can't believe I just did that! I disobeyed my orders and went against Yellow Diamond's wishes! I'm a traitorous clod! I never want to think about what I've done again! ''[stops recording, rewinds and plays the recording; laughs madly]'' And I called Yellow Diamond a clod! Right to her face! ''[falls to her knees]'' I called Yellow Diamond a clod. ''Right to her face.'' :'''Steven''': Uh, Peridot? Are you going to be okay? :'''Peridot''': ''[enthusiastically with a deranged smile]'' No! :'''Steven''': It's all going to work out. You're with us now. :'''Peridot''': You don't understand! I'm protecting a planet I was once trying to destroy! I used to follow every order, every rule. Now I'm a traitor. ''[cringes]'' A rebel! ''[eyes turn to stars] '''A CRYSTAL GEMMMMMMMMMMMM....''' ''[snickers]'' :'''Steven''': Well, that tape recorder seems to be helping. :'''Peridot''': '''NO IT'S NOT!''' ''[throws recorder at Garnet, who had just entered]'' It's a chronicle of my descent into madness!!! :'''Garnet''': ''[holding out recorder to Peridot]'' You dropped this. :'''Peridot''': Get it away from me! Give it to Steven. Return madness to its source! <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': Log Date 7 11 2. The Steven has given me this Earth machine to replace my communicator log. It looks…extremely primitive. He also said he wanted me to stop calling him, "The Steven." :'''Steven''': It's just "Steven." :'''Peridot''': I said I'd call him whatever I want. ''[hisses viciously at him; Steven holds up his finger in her face]'' He told me that was rude. :'''Steven''': Rude. :'''Peridot''': I guess I'll him, "Steven." <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': Pearl really tries for some reason and I can appreciate that. Amethyst's company is entertaining as well, but the fused one... ''[sees Garnet for a long beat, she gives her a thumbs up]'' ...eludes me. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': "Jokes." ''[opens up the joke book; clears throat]'' "Why did the chicken cross the road? The chicken wanted to get to the other side of the road." ''[laughs]'' What's a chicken? <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[recorder]'' Hour 78 of ''Camp Pining Hearts''. ''[saying Percy's line]'' It's the colour war, Paulette. Doesn't that mean anything to you? :'''Steven''': Uh, you've been here for a few days. Is everything okay? :'''Peridot''': I've just been... watching your previously recorded entertainment. :'''Steven''': Is that the same episode from three days ago? :'''Peridot''': There's more than one? :'''Steven''': Hmm... nah. Oh, you made a picture. ''[reaches a piece of paper before Peridot snatches it]'' :'''Peridot''': Picture?! This isn't just a picture, Steven! It's a complex chart cataloging the compatible characteristics between campers. Somehow, the rejects at Camp Clod fail to recognize the superior pair that is Pierre and Percy. :'''Steven''': Well, that's because Paulette likes Percy. :'''Peridot''': Paulette? Ha! Paulette has no place in the camp's hierarchy. Now, Pierre—Pierre is a brute! Pierre laid waste to the three-legged races! Pierre and Percy present the strongest battle formation! They'd destroy the camp! :'''Steven''': You got all this from one episode? :'''Peridot''': It's ''{{w|subtext}}'', Steven. Allow me to explain. ''[cut back to recorder held by Steven]'' "''Well, first of all...''" :'''Steven''': Ugh, I remember this part. :''[Steven fast-forwards recorder as we see Peridot speeding through the entire session; Steven soon falls asleep with Garnet now sitting on the couch]'' :'''Peridot''': And that's why Percy and Pierre are objectively the best for each other! ''[Steven slumps down the floor; Garnet gives a thumbs up; Peridot tears up her chart angrily]'' ''GRAHHH!!!'' <hr width=50%/> :''[Steven fast-forwards the tape recorder]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' Okay, go. :'''Garnet''': ''[thru recorder]'' Log date seven fourteen two. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' No, you say it seven one-''four'' two! ''[groans]'' Log date 7 14 2. I have attempted a fusion with the fusion Garnet. I had hoped to gain a better understanding of fusion. Instead, I gained a better understanding of Garnet. :'''Garnet''': ''[thru recorder]'' Wait, keep it on a moment. Steven, you probably shouldn't have listened to Peridot's logs, but I know your curiosity comes from a place of caring. You should give the recorder back to her now. She's going to want to keep it. :'''Peridot''': ''[thru recorder]'' Wait, what?

This could be the start of the emergence of the Cluster. Stage 1: Slight tremors every quarter hour. Stage 2: Full-scale earthquakes. Stage 3: ''[flips the board that shows a drawn picture of the Earth being destroyed with words that say: '''"CLUSTER EMERGES BYE BYE EARTH"''']'' The Earth is DESTROYED! We're running out of time! We need to drill, right now! <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[sitting on mattress with Steven]'' So, Lazuli has Jasper trapped in a fusion? You're joking me. :'''Steven''': It's true! But Lapis must be getting tired from fighting Jasper for so long. :'''Peridot''': Just being on a ship with Jasper made me tired. ''[the ground starts trembling, Steven shouts]'' :'''Steven''': Ahh! I gotta help them! But they told me it was too dangerous. :'''Peridot''': Why don't you just disobey them? They rebel. Isn't that like, your guys's thing? :'''Steven''': Ah! You're right! Oh, I know! I'll fall asleep and go into a watermelon Steven again! This way, I can help them and be safe at the same time. ''[chuckles sinisterly, falls asleep]'' :'''Peridot''': Wow. You are a real anarchist. :'''Steven''': No one can tell ''me'' what to do. ''[snores]'' :'''Peridot''': Wait! What do I do now? Don't just leave me here! ''[sighs deeply]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Malachite''': Give up! ''[breaks free of water chains, sighs]'' I'm impressed. You really held out. :'''Alexandrite''': <big>'''''MALACHITE!!!'''''</big> :'''Malachite''': ''[gasps]'' They're here! ''[starts groaning, snaps out]'' Stop! Pathetic. Don't you see? We've been holding us back for too long, and for what? If we're going to be this thing together, why don't we have some fun? :'''Alexandrite''': '''We don't have to fight!! You're outnumbered.''' ''[Malachite grins, raises two huge water-arms]'' :'''Malachite''': I may be outnumbered, but you're out of your depth. I can't wait to tear you Gems apart! :'''Alexandrite''': <big><big>'''''RAAAAHHH!!!!'''''</big></big> <hr width=50% /> :'''Alexandrite''': Hey! Don't forget about me! ''[pulls Malachite in towards her and punches her; then turns Sugilite's flail into Sardonyx's war-hammer and launches Malachite in the sky; turns the war-hammer into Opal's bow and arrow again]'' You two should spend some time apart. <hr width=50% /> :''[the Gems and watermelon Stevens hold on as strong earthquakes tremble up Mask Island]'' :'''Garnet''': It must be the Cluster! Peridot was right! ''[to a watermelon Steven]'' Steven, it's up to you! The warp was destroyed, we won't make it back in time! Wake up! Get Peridot and start drilling! The Earth needs you, Steven! We'll be fine! You can do this. ''[Pearl and Amethyst join her]'' We believe in you. :''[the crying watermelon Steven nods and closes its eyes as the Gems slowly fade to black]'' :'''Amethyst''': You got this, dude! You know the drill. :'''Pearl''': Be careful, Steven! Watch each other's backs. :'''Garnet''': And Steven... we love you. ===''Gem Drill''=== :'''Peridot''': ''[being shaken next to drill]'' If you're done just lying there, maybe it's about time that we ''STOP THE WORLD FROM ENDING!'' Where are the others?! :'''Steven''': They're stuck on Mask Island! We have to drill without them! :'''Peridot''': Ugh! Am I the only one who understands the meaning of teamwork?! ''[Steven comes up, and she grips his shoulders]'' Okay. Steven, are you ready to drill down into the planet, to depths never before reached by your species, to stop the Cluster before it forms and save your world?! :'''Steven''': I don't know! :'''Peridot''': Don't say that! Say we'll do it together and it's gonna be great! :'''Steven''': We're gonna do it together and it's gonna be great! :'''Peridot''': ''Liar!'' :''[Peridot and Steven then scamper into the drill's cockpit as the ground continues to shake]'' :'''Peridot''': Ready or not, we have a mission. <hr width=50%/> :''[Inside the drill]'' :'''Steven''': All right, bracing for impact! :'''Peridot''': It's actually two more hours to the Cluster. :'''Steven''': Oh. Wish I'd brought some tunes. :''[Looking annoyed, Peridot presses a button, making some quiet music play]'' :'''Steven''': Uh, thanks. ''[short silence; starts to look nervous]'' It's kinda... freaky down here, huh? :'''Peridot''': Why's that? :'''Steven''': It's just dark, and cramped, ''[shuddering]'' and, uh... I can't even... uh, stretch out. ''[they are both disturbed by a brief rumbling]'' How'd you think you were gonna get everyone in here anyway? :'''Peridot''': I don't know. They'd... shrink or something. <hr width=50%/> :''[As it appears that the Cluster will take form and destroy the Earth]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[terrified]'' Steven, I'm sorry I couldn't save you, or the billions of other lifeforms who matter far, far less to me! Do you have any last words?! :'''Steven''': ''[hugging her]'' I love you, Peridot. :'''Peridot''': ''[emotionally]'' Wow... .thanks... ''[hugs him back]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''The Cluster''': Want to stay... But... Can't stop! Going to form! Can't stop! Going to form! Help! Help! Help! <hr width=50%/> :''[After Steven helps the Cluster bubble itself]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[hugging him]'' You did it! :'''Steven''': We did it together. And it was great. :''[The other Gems arrive, with an unconscious Lapis]'' :'''Steven''': Guys! You're back! I-is Lapis okay? :'''Garnet''': She'll be fine. :'''Pearl''': ''[concerned]'' You look happy! Uh, did you destroy the Cluster? :'''Steven''': No, I talked to it. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Steven''': It doesn't want to destroy the Earth. It just wants company. And it's got it now! It's like a bajillion people! They'll have lots of time to get to know each other, now that they're in a bubble. :'''Pearl''': ''[utterly astonished]'' How on ''Earth'' did you bubble that ''whole thing?!'' :'''Steven''': We had a little help. :''[The Cluster is shown again, still peacefully contained in its bubble]'' ===''Same Old World''=== :'''Lapis''': For a moment, I really felt like things were different... but they're not. No matter where I go, I'm trapped. :'''Steven''': But you're not. You're not underwater. You're not in a mirror. This time, you're free! :'''Lapis''': But I'm still on Earth! :'''Steven''': Yeah, but nothing is still on Earth. Everything's always changing—the leaves, the cities... even Jersey changes. My dad says the rest stops used to be pretty gross, but now they have sushi! This isn't the same world that held you prisoner - not anymore. And I know it doesn't feel like home, but maybe that can change too. I know you can't go back to Homeworld, but if you stay here, it'll be your choice to stay here. :'''Lapis''': It's funny... For all the time I spent on Earth, I barely saw any of it. :'''Steven''': That's not funny. That's super sad. ===''Barn Mates''=== :'''Peridot''': And then I'll say, "Hey, as one refugee to another, it isn't so bad that we can't go back to Homeworld, am I right? Why don't we watch the sun come up and figure out what we're going to do with all this time, eh Lazuli?" And then she'll say, "Yes Peridot, as impressed I was by you on the ship, I am even more impressed with your new compact look and capacity for friendship! I'm so glad we're going to live together!" Peridot, Facet 5. (''ends her log'') Let's begin. :'''Lapis''': ''[amused]'' This isn't gonna work. :'''Peridot''': Wait, what? :'''Lapis''': I really thought I would be living alone here. :'''Steven''': Yeah, but this is even better! Oh here, how about this? I saw this on an episode of a TV show! I didn't see how it ended, but I'm sure it worked out right. We'll divide this place in half, you'll both have your own space. (''takes out a marker from his left pocket and opens the cap; divides the barn into 2 non-equal parts using the marker'') High ceilings, real wood floors, convenient location on the heart of the country. So what do you think, roomies? :'''Peridot''': I like the cut of your gem, Steven Quartz! :'''Lapis''': No. No way! :'''Peridot''': What's the problem? You're the one getting all the good stuff! You've got the propeller and paint cans on your side! You can do tons with those! oooh, actually, I want the paint cans - you wanna trade something? :'''Lapis''': I don't care about paint cans. That's not the problem. :'''Peridot''': Bah... :'''Steven''': What's wrong, Lapis? :'''Lapis''': It's ''her''. :'''Peridot''': Egh?! :'''Lapis''': ''She's'' the problem. I can't stand the thought of looking at her everyday. She's the one who dragged me back to Earth. :'''Peridot''': Hey, it wasn't my idea! I was headed to earth and I needed an informant! It should have been a simple mission. Things didn't exactly work out for either of us. :'''Lapis''': You used me like everyone else did! :'''Peridot''': But it's not like that anymore! It's different now - I'M different! :'''Steven''': It's true, Lapis! Peridot has really come into her own since she's been living on Earth. :'''Peridot''': I sabotaged my own mission! I helped save the Earth, I even yelled at Yellow Diamond! She's probably sending a whole fleet to find me and shatter me right now! I'm kind of a big deal; a big Anti-Homeworld Deal! :'''Lapis''': Steven, I don't think this is gonna work. :'''Steven''': Ahhhh, ummmm, maybe we could put up a curtain? (''Lapis gives him a patient smile, but walks out of the barn and flies to the top of the Silo; to Peridot'') Sorry. Thought this was gonna be okay. I forgot the last time you saw each other.. wasn't, so okay. :'''Peridot''': That was in the ''past''! It's not like that now! UGHHHH! :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Peridot''': But obviously she doesn't! She's the one who needs to know! I want ''her'' to understand! :'''Steven''': Aw Peridot, that's sweet! That's the you you need to show her! :'''Peridot''': ''[confused]'' Show her my ''sweet''? :'''Steven''': I got you. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[hands Lapis the letter]'' Steven did the outside, and I did the inside. :'''Lapis''': ''[opens the letter with an unimpressed look; reading]'' '''"Sorry I interrogated you. You were just full of such useful information. That's a sincere compliment. Peridot."''' <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[on a rubber ring in a miniature lake]'' H-two-oh my gosh. It's a smaller than an average lake! :'''Steven''': It's from the hole we drilled. Peridot and I sealed it and filled it with water. ''[Lapis pauses for a beat]'' :'''Peridot''': It's a gift for you. You know, 'cause like water's your thing? ''[snickers]'' Pretty good right? The barn's out here in the country, but now you can get your moisture fix whenever. Do all that water stuff you do. :'''Lapis''': ..Water? Seriously? :'''Peridot''': Yeah! :'''Lapis''': You do realize that I spent the last few months trapped under the ocean, right? :'''Peridot''': Sure! But, I thought— :'''Lapis''': It was an endless, crushing darkness. Wet and bleak and suffocating. Water was the tomb I lived in for those months. :'''Peridot''': ''[queasy and terrified]'' Tomb, you say? :'''Lapis''': Yeah. I'm kinda taking a break from water right now. ''[beat]'' But thanks…for the lake. :'''Steven''': ''[grimaces]'' Uhh… :'''Peridot''': Urrgh… :'''Lapis''': Don't worry, Steven. It's not your fault. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': A pool! What a cloddy idea. Of course she wouldn't like that. There's nothing! Nothing! Nothing! :'''Steven''': There has to be something. Something, something. Maybe, instead of something ''she'' likes, give her something ''you'' like. A piece of you! :'''Peridot''': Um…okay. How about my "Camp Pining Hearts" DVD? :'''Steven''': Which season? :'''Peridot''': Five? :'''Steven''': Trash. :'''Peridot''': I know! Ugh! ''[falls onto the ground with her back; speaks into the tape recorder]'' Log date- whatever. Facet- whatever! WHATEVER! Clearly there's nothing important enough for me to give to Lazuli. At least I have you, tape recorder. <hr width=50%/> :'''Lapis''': ''[speaks into the tape recorder]'' I don't want your garbage. ''[raises the tape recorder up, crushes it, and drops it onto the ground]'' :'''Peridot''': GUH! What, were you trapped in a tape recorder, too?! ''[Lapis glares enraged at her; frustrated]'' Look, I get it, you know? You're confused. You can never go back to Homeworld. This place doesn't exactly feel like home yet. You're alone! No one could ''possibly'' know what that feels like! Oh, wait, ''I'' do! We're the same! Except… ''[calms down]'' you don't have to be alone. So, tell me, then, what you want from me. And whatever that is… ''[sighs]'' I'll do it. :'''Lapis''': ''[scowling]'' I want you… TO LEAVE! :'''Peridot''': ''[visibly hurt]'' Okay. ''[starts walking away]'' :'''Steven''': Lapis, why are you being so mean to her? She's really trying. :'''Lapis''': Why do you trust her, Steven? :'''Steven''': Because I know her! Lapis, you're not even giving her a chance. You should have at least gotten to know her before you decided you don't like her. Now it's too late. And she's never coming back again. ''[He and Lapis see Peridot running towards them while screaming]'' Oh, she's coming back again. ===''Hit the Diamond''=== :''[Five Rubies have arrived on Earth; Steven and the Gems hide in the barn]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa, look at 'em all. :'''Peridot''': ''[scared]'' I knew it! They're after me! This is the end of the line! :'''Lapis''': You really weren't kidding. :'''Peridot''': I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod…to her face. :'''Pearl''': Oh, honestly, you call ''everyone'' a clod. :'''Peridot''': Yes. But not everyone has command over all the armies of Homeworld waiting for the word to ''shatter me!'' ''[hides under a box]'' :'''Steven''': Peridot! We won't let them get you. ''[lifts the box, revealing Peridot curling up sadly]'' :'''Peridot''': Haven't I caused you enough trouble? :'''Garnet''': Don't worry, Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home, and that includes clods like you. :'''Peridot''': ''[quietly]'' That's ''my'' word… :'''Garnet''': Listen up, everyone. I have a plan. Or should I say… ''[holds up her hands]'' ''We'' have a plan? ''[giggles as she unfuses, separating into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Hello, everyone. :'''Pearl & Amethyst''': Ruby! Sapphire! :'''Steven''': ''[runs over and hugs them both]'' Hugs! :'''Sapphire''': Hello, Steven! <hr width=50%/> :''[Disguised as a human baseball team]'' :'''Steven''': We're the humans!

''[lashes her whip at Jasper, who catches it easily]'' :'''Jasper''': Well, then... let's see it! :''[she pulls Amethyst holding her whip, kicks her, spin-dashes her numerous times on the sand. She struggles to get up in front of Jasper]'' :'''Jasper''': You're not even trying. Is it because you know you're already a failure? ''[Amethyst looks up at her]'' You're a quartz soldier, just like me. But you're not like me, are you? :''[cut to show Steven, Connie and Lion fighting the corrupted gem monster; Jasper chuckles as Amethyst gets up]'' :'''Jasper''': You're small! ''[begins rapidly punching Amethyst, slamming her down; Steven sees them]'' :'''Steven''': Amethyst?! ''[the monster lunges its hand near them]'' :'''Jasper''': Are you that desperate for troops, Rose, that you keep a defect like this?! ''[Amethyst slowly stands up]'' :'''Amethyst''': Rose said... I'm perfect... the way I am! :'''Jasper''': Then she had low standards. ''[an enraged Amethyst charges at Jasper with her spin-dash]'' You... could've been me! ''[kicks Amethyst into the air, falls down as she watches Jasper face to face]'' And what are you instead? ''[Amethyst slams into the ground]'' :'''Connie/Steven''': Amethyst! ''[a badly bruised Amethyst looks back at Jasper]'' :'''Jasper''': Just a joke. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jasper''': ''[shocked to see Steven and Connie fused into Stevonnie]'' You fused?! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[catches Amethyst's gem]'' Whoa! I did! :'''Jasper''': You Crystal Gems would even fuse with a human?! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[facing Jasper]'' I don't wanna hear ANYTHING you say! ''[holds up Amethyst's gem]'' Unless it's "sorry." ===''Steven vs. Amethyst''=== :'''Steven''': ''[loses to Amethyst on "Lonely Blade" video game]'' That was crazy good, Amethyst! Nice job! :'''Amethyst''': Knock it off, Steven. I know you let me win. :'''Steven''': ''[stammers]'' Wha— ''me''? No, I— pfff... nooo... ''[Amethyst shuts TV off]'' :'''Amethyst''': You weren't even trying. :'''Steven''': I'm sorry. I just wanted you to feel better. :'''Amethyst''': Great, and now you're even more mature than me. :'''Steven''': Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': You're supposed to be the rookie but now you're better than me at everything! ''[sighs]'' Now I'm the worst Crystal Gem. :'''Steven''': Wha-what? :'''Amethyst''': Ugh! ''[mutters]'' You know what I mean, Steven. :'''Steven''': Uhh, not really! I thought you guys ''wanted'' me to be strong. An-and now I am, and you're mad at me?! :'''Amethyst''': No! I get mad at myself! That's, ugh, the thing I do! I get mad at myself, and then it makes me suck at everything I do even more. :'''Steven''': ''[sighs]'' Amethyst, you don't suck. You do so many cool things. You have two whips. Two whips! And the dash thing? Amethyst, you're so much better than me! :'''Amethyst''': No way. You have Rose's shield, and bubble, and the floating thing, and— ''[grunts]'' I'd just be floating all day! :'''Steven''': Floating? I forget to use that half the time! And the rest of the time my powers aren't even guaranteed to work! I'm... I'm way worse than you! :'''Amethyst''': Nuh-uh! ''I'm'' the worst! :'''Steven''': No way, I am! I'll prove it! I'll-I'll fight you, and show you how bad I am! :'''Amethyst''': Fine! Let's do it!! :'''Both''': Let the worst gem lose!! <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven and Amethyst lie down on the floor for a beat, they start up laughing amongst themselves]'' :'''Steven''': What's wrong with us? ''[continues laughing]'' :'''Amethyst''': Well, I know what's wrong with me. I'm not supposed to be small. And everyone's always acting like there's no problem. "You can be anything you wanna be!" No, I can't! ''[sighs]'' I can't even be the one thing I'm supposed to be, you know? :'''Steven''': Of course I do. I'm... not Rose Quartz. :'''Amethyst''': ''[hits her face]'' Oh no! Oh, Steven— :'''Steven''': Why do you think I've been working so hard? :'''Amethyst''': Well... it's paying off. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling, gets up]'' I sure hope so. :''[Amethyst sees Steven holding out his hand to her, smiles. She swings her arm but misses, laughing; she misses again before she finally catches his hand. She gets up and laughs with Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': Thanks, Steven. ''[Pearl gasps in horror at the entrance]'' :'''Pearl''': What did you two do?! You've ruined the ruins! :'''Amethyst''': Whoops. :'''Steven''': I don't think we're gonna see the prize pouch for a while. ===''{{w|Bismuth (Steven Universe)|Bismuth}}''=== :''[Steven and the Gems take Bismuth to the strawberry battlefield]'' :'''Garnet''': Homeworld's final attack on Earth wiped out all of the Crystal Gems. :'''Pearl''': Rose was able to protect Garnet and myself, and by the looks of it, she was able to protect you as well. ''[Bismuth picks up a rusty battle-axe]'' :'''Bismuth''': I knew those Homeworld elites were twisted. How many of us did they shatter? Crazy Lace? Biggs?! Snowflake?! If I was there, I-'''I coulda stopped it!!''' :'''Garnet''': It's not like they've stopped trying. :'''Bismuth''': What's that? :'''Garnet''': Homeworld still has its eyes on this planet. :'''Pearl''': We continue to thwart their plans over and over. ''[Steven runs over followed by Amethyst]'' :'''Steven''': But they just keep coming back! :'''Amethyst''': Yep. They want us bad. :'''Bismuth''': Good. I thought I wouldn't get another chance to show those upper-crusts who's ''boss''! Let's show 'em what happens when you mess with the Crystal Gems! ''[slams battle-axe to the ground with a loud roar; Steven smiles]'' :'''Steven''': Yeah. <hr width=50% /> :'''Bismuth''': Rose Quartz changed my life. I came to Earth thinking this was just another colony. Build another arena for important fighters to fight in, build another spire for important thinkers to think in, and then I met her. Just another quartz soldier, made right here in the dirt, but she was different. And she was different because she decided to be. And she asked me what I wanted to build, and I'd never heard that before. And Gems never hear they can be anything other than what they are, but Rose opened our eyes. :'''Steven''': Everybody always tells me how great Mom was. I just don't feel like I can ever measure up to her. ''[Bismuth chuckles out loud]'' :'''Bismuth''': I can't believe this... that I'm the one giving the pep talk to Rose's... Rose's...? :'''Steven''': Son. :'''Bismuth''': Right. You are different. That's what's so exciting. You don't have to be like Rose Quartz. You can be someone even better. You can be you. And you know what? You deserve an even better weapon. <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven walks to a severely injured Bismuth holding the Breaking Point]'' :'''Steven''': Bismuth... this has to stop. :'''Bismuth''': So what are you gonna do, shatter me?! ''[grabs Breaking Point to her gemstone]'' Go ahead! <big>'''JUST ''DO IT''!!!'''</big> :'''Steven''': ..No! Even if we don't agree, nobody deserves this! ''[Bismuth pauses, yanks Breaking Point from Steven. He steps back, stops at Rose's sword, draws it out as Bismuth advances—SHING!!]'' :''[for a long beat, Steven sees Bismuth impaled holding Rose's sword]'' :'''Bismuth''': ..You shoulda shattered me back then. At least if I were in pieces, I wouldn't have to know how little I mattered to you. You didn't even tell 'em. You bubbled me away and didn't ever tell your friends... My friends... :'''Steven''': I'm going to tell them! I'm gonna tell them everything. ''[Bismuth takes in a surprise, chuckles in her tears]'' :'''Bismuth''': Then you really are better than her. ===''Beta''=== :''[Peridot and Lapis Lazuli are watching ''"Camp Pining Hearts"'' on the truck sticking out over the barn's entrance]'' :'''Percy''': ''[in the show]'' But Paulette, I need you! :'''Peridot''': Oh, get over it, Percy. Go make another friendship bracelet. :'''Lapis''': Seriously. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': Wow, you guys are looking good. And I love what you did to the barn! :'''Peridot''': Aww, I know. But wait, wait - you guys ''have'' to see the inside! Lapis, fly us in! :'''Lapis''': ''[smiling]'' Nnnno. <hr width=50% /> :''[Inside the barn]'' :'''Amethyst''': You did all this stuff on purpose? Like, you didn't just knock over a bunch of paint cans and go, "Eh, just leave it"? :'''Peridot''': Oh, no. This was all very intentional. You see, I had this idea: What if we made music, but instead of sounds, we use things! :'''Amethyst''': That's dumb. :'''Steven''': Guys, that's art! :'''Peridot''': Art? That sounds ridiculous! :'''Lapis''': I've been calling it "meepmorp". :'''Peridot''': Let us show you our... morps. ''[chuckles]'' :''[She shows them something made from her broken recorder, some cassettes and a blue ribbon]'' :'''Peridot''': This piece is called "Wow, thanks". It represents the struggles of intercommunication. The tape is the ribbon that binds our experience on Earth together. It has no functional purpose! It just makes me feel bad! ''[smiles proudly]'' :''[Lapis shows them a baseball bat, mitt and ball hanging from a stick by string]'' :'''Lapis''': Here's my meepmorp. This is a baseball bat. It reminds me of when I played baseball. ''[walks backwards to a leaf sitting on a rock]'' This is a leaf that Steven gave me. It reminds me of the time Steven... gave me a leaf. :'''Steven''': Hey, yeah, it reminds me of that too! ''[Peridot grins; Amethyst looks nauseated]'' :''[Next is a TV with two mirrors attached, playing Percy in ''Camp Pining Hearts'' saying "I just feel trapped" over and over]'' :'''Steven''': ''[worried]'' Is this one about... the thousands of years you spent trapped in the mirror? :'''Lapis''': No. I just really like that show. <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[yelling]'' HEY, LAPIS, ARE YOU OKAAAY??? :'''Lapis''': ''[watching ''Camp Pining Hearts'' on the truck again]'' Yeah. :'''Peridot''': ARE YOU SURE? :'''Lapis''': Yeah. :'''Peridot''': I'M LEAVING, BUT I'LL BE BACK! :'''Lapis''': Okay. :'''Peridot''': DO YOU NEED ANYTHING? :'''Lapis''': No. :'''Peridot''': ... WHAT SEASON IS THAT? :'''Lapis''': Three. ===''Earthlings''=== :'''Jasper''': Pipe down! You take orders from me now! You used to be a Quartz too, didn't you? What happened to you? Tch. Disgraceful. I can't believe I've resorted to recruiting you freaks! You're almost as bad as that Crystal ''runt''! Just look at you. This planet ruins everything! Well, (''chuckles'') except for me. <hr width=50% /> :'''Jasper''': Every Gem is made for a purpose—to serve the order of the Diamonds. Those who cannot fit inside this order must be purged! To come out misshapen, to reshape yourself outside your purpose, and to defend this worthless, ruined planet is a disgrace! <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven throws his shield over a towering Injector; Amethyst backs away from Jasper as it falls between them]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven... I-I can't win. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I work, she came out right, and I came out... wrong. :'''Steven''': That's just what Jasper thinks! She's the only one who thinks you should be like her! :'''Amethyst''': But— :'''Steven''': Stop trying to be like Jasper. You're ''nothing'' like Jasper! You're like ''me''!! Because we're both not like anybody! And yeah, it sucks! ''[Jasper lifts up the Injector and throws it aside]'' But at least I've got you. And you've got me! ''[tearing up]'' So stop leaving me out of this! :'''Amethyst''': Us worse Gems stick together... ''[sniffles]'' right? ''[Steven holds out his hand]'' :'''Steven''': That's why we're the best. :''[Amethyst takes his hand, and they hug - and fuse]'' <hr width=50% /> :''[After briefly fusing with a corrupted Gem, the corruption spreads slowly in Jasper's left arm]'' :'''Peridot''': Eww, that's disgusting! :'''Smoky Quartz''': It's... corruption. ''[separates back into Steven and Amethyst]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven, be careful. :'''Steven''': But this just happened - maybe I can do something! Jasper, it's okay. I'm here. ''[starts approaching her]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[snarling]'' Rose... :'''Steven''': I'm not Rose, I'm Steven. I just wanna try and heal you. ''[licks his palm and reaches for her - but she slashes at him, tearing his shirt]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven!! :''[Peridot unsuccessfully tries to mentally move the metal rod again]'' :'''Steven''': ''[as Amethyst tries to charge at Jasper]'' Stop! :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' I see how you do it now, Rose... You want Gems after they're worthless. You wait until after they've lost! Because when you're at the bottom... you'll follow ''anyone'' that makes you feel like less of a failure. ''[as Peridot rushes over]'' Huh... Just look at this one! You've stripped her of everything! Her limb enhancers, her status, her dignity... :'''Peridot''': I still have one of those things. :'''Jasper''': ''How can you side with Rose Quartz?!'' Why? Why protect this useless shell of a planet?! :'''Peridot''': It's not a shell. There's so much life, living here. ''[smiling]'' That's what ''I'm'' doing! I'm living here! I've been learning new things about myself all the time! Like how I can make metal do my bidding! ''[tries to show this off, but the rod just falls behind her]'' The point being: Earth can set you free. ''[Steven smiles]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[angrily, as the corruption spreads rapidly in her body]'' Earth... is a prison! I got out because I'm better than this place...! :'''Steven''': It's getting worse. :'''Jasper''': I only came back to finish you off...! :'''Steven''': Try not to move! :'''Jasper''': ''You can't manipulate me, Rose Quartz!'' :'''Steven''': I-- I'm not manipulating! I'm trying to help! :'''Jasper''': Help...? ''HELP?!'' I've been fighting from the second I broke free of the Earth's crust! Because of what ''YOU'' did to my colony! Because of what '''YOU''' did to my planet! Because of what '''YOU''' did to my Diamond! :'''Steven''': ''[confsed]'' I... Yellow Diamond? :'''Jasper''': Wha...?! ''MY'' DIAMOND! ''YOUR'' DIAMOND! <big>'''''PINK DIAMOND!!!'''''</big> :''[Her corruption worsening, Jasper becomes barely recognizable and looks ready to attack; Peridot finally gets the metal rod to move, plunging it into Jasper and making her poof]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[after a brief silence]'' You're... welcome. :'''Amethyst''': ''[smiles, then walks over to Jasper's gem and sighs]'' Come here, sis. ''[bubbles her]'' ===''Back to the Moon''=== :''[the Rubies walk up the moon base stairway followed by Amethyst (as Jasper), Pearl, Garnet and Steven]'' :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': The Earth was Pink Diamond's colony. Everything was going smoothly at first. Kindergartens were incubating their first soldiers—big, warm pieces of quartz, like this mountain over here—were being created from its rich minerals with great success. Then, bam! One of Pink Diamond's very own quartz soldiers started a rebellion and took it too far. Where were you when that happened? :'''Amethyst''': Oh, you know... around. ''["Eyeball" turns to Amethyst]'' :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': I was there. I saw it with my own eye. I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz... ''[projects her light on the mural]'' shatter Pink Diamond! :''[Steven looks up in his horror; Garnet is frozen still for a beat, Pearl starts shivering in fear]'' :'''Steven''': No... ''[beat]'' Rose Quartz w-would never do that! ''[tearing up]'' A-And, sure, she had to fight but... But she would never shatter someone! ===''Bubbled''=== :''[Steven (in his bubble) and "Eyeball" Ruby drift in space far away from the Earth]'' :'''Steven''': There goes the Earth. :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': There goes my whole platoon! ''[growls at him]'' This is a mess! ''[walks around his bubble]'' What'll I say about my report?! How will I even ''make'' my report?! This is a nightmare! ''[looks down at him]'' And this is all ''your'' fault. :'''Steven''': Whoa, hey, no it's not! You were trying to hurt my friends! :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': But you opened the airlock in the moon base. ''You'' sent us flying into space with no hope of ever returning! :'''Steven''': ''[long pause]'' Okay, so maybe that was my fault. I'm sorry. There! Are you happy? :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': No! Lucky you're in that bubble, or I'd pop you right in the face. :'''Steven''': Well, if you're going to be a grump about it, then we can just float in silence until we both die! :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': Sounds great! :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': I can't wait!! :'''Steven''': Me neither! <hr width=50% /> :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': When I heard rumors there might still be Crystal Gems on Earth, I couldn't believe it. A thousand years of fighting were all for nothing! And Rose Quartz might still be alive? ''[scoffs, rolls on her side]'' She must be. Why else would someone as important as Jasper be back on Earth? For closure, that's why. I wanted it, too. I wanted to see Rose Quartz with my own eye. At the very least, I thought Jasper might have some answers, but... it wasn't even her. Just another trick. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': How come nobody told me about Pink Diamond? :'''Garnet''': We all did what we had to during the war. Everything's different now. :'''Steven''': But did Mom really do it? Did she really... shatter her? :'''Garnet''': She had to. The Earth belonged to Pink Diamond. Destroying her was the only way to save the planet. For Amethyst to be herself, for Pearl to be free, for me to be together. ''[clutches her hand]'' For you to exist. :'''Steven''': But I thought... a-at least she'd never— :'''Garnet''': She didn't always do what was best for her. But she always did what was best for Earth. :'''Steven''': Even... if it meant shattering someone? :'''Garnet''': Yes. :''[Steven pauses, takes a deep breath and sighs as the Gems pilot the Rubies' Roaming Eye back to Earth]'' :'''Steven''': Thanks for telling me.

This could be the start of the emergence of the Cluster. Stage 1: Slight tremors every quarter hour. Stage 2: Full-scale earthquakes. Stage 3: ''[flips the board that shows a drawn picture of the Earth being destroyed with words that say: '''"CLUSTER EMERGES BYE BYE EARTH"''']'' The Earth is destroyed! We're running out of time! We need to drill, right now! <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[sitting on mattress with Steven]'' So, Lazuli has Jasper trapped in a fusion? You're joking me. :'''Steven''': It's true! But Lapis must be getting tired from fighting Jasper for so long. :'''Peridot''': Just being on a ship with Jasper made me tired. ''[the ground starts trembling, Steven shouts]'' :'''Steven''': Ahh! I gotta help them! But they told me it was too dangerous. :'''Peridot''': Why don't you just disobey them? They rebel. Isn't that like, your guys's thing? :'''Steven''': Ah! You're right! Oh, I know! I'll fall asleep and go into a watermelon Steven again! This way, I can help them and be safe at the same time. ''[chuckles sinisterly, falls asleep]'' :'''Peridot''': Wow. You are a real anarchist. :'''Steven''': No one can tell ''me'' what to do. ''[snores]'' :'''Peridot''': Wait! What do I do now? Don't just leave me here! ''[sighs deeply]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Malachite''': Give up! ''[breaks free of water chains, sighs]'' I'm impressed. You really held out. :'''Alexandrite''': <big>'''''MALACHITE!!!'''''</big> :'''Malachite''': ''[gasps]'' They're here! ''[starts groaning, snaps out]'' Stop! Pathetic. Don't you see? We've been holding us back for too long, and for what? If we're going to be this thing together, why don't we have some fun? :'''Alexandrite''': '''We don't have to fight!! You're outnumbered.''' ''[Malachite grins, raises two huge water-arms]'' :'''Malachite''': I may be outnumbered, but you're out of your depth. I can't wait to tear you Gems apart! :'''Alexandrite''': <big><big>'''''RAAAAHHH!!!!'''''</big></big> <hr width=50% /> :'''Alexandrite''': Hey! Don't forget about me! ''[pulls Malachite in towards her and punches her; then turns Sugilite's flail into Sardonyx's war-hammer and launches Malachite in the sky; turns the war-hammer into Opal's bow and arrow again]'' You two should spend some time apart. <hr width=50% /> :''[the Gems and watermelon Stevens hold on as strong earthquakes tremble up Mask Island]'' :'''Garnet''': It must be the Cluster! Peridot was right! ''[to a watermelon Steven]'' Steven, it's up to you! The warp was destroyed, we won't make it back in time! Wake up! Get Peridot and start drilling! The Earth needs you, Steven! We'll be fine! You can do this. ''[Pearl and Amethyst join her]'' We believe in you. :''[the crying watermelon Steven nods and closes its eyes as the Gems slowly fade to black]'' :'''Amethyst''': You got this, dude! You know the drill. :'''Pearl''': Be careful, Steven! Watch each other's backs. :'''Garnet''': And Steven... we love you. ===''Gem Drill''=== :'''Peridot''': ''[being shaken next to drill]'' If you're done just lying there, maybe it's about time that we ''STOP THE WORLD FROM ENDING!'' Where are the others?! :'''Steven''': They're stuck on Mask Island! We have to drill without them! :'''Peridot''': Ugh! Am I the only one who understands the meaning of teamwork?! ''[Steven comes up, and she grips his shoulders]'' Okay. Steven, are you ready to drill down into the planet, to depths never before reached by your species, to stop the Cluster before it forms and save your world?! :'''Steven''': I don't know! :'''Peridot''': Don't say that! Say we'll do it together and it's gonna be great! :'''Steven''': We're gonna do it together and it's gonna be great! :'''Peridot''': ''Liar!'' :''[Peridot and Steven then scamper into the drill's cockpit as the ground continues to shake]'' :'''Peridot''': Ready or not, we have a mission. <hr width=50%/> :''[Inside the drill]'' :'''Steven''': All right, bracing for impact! :'''Peridot''': It's actually two more hours to the Cluster. :'''Steven''': Oh. Wish I'd brought some tunes. :''[Looking annoyed, Peridot presses a button, making some quiet music play]'' :'''Steven''': Uh, thanks. ''[short silence; starts to look nervous]'' It's kinda... freaky down here, huh? :'''Peridot''': Why's that? :'''Steven''': It's just dark, and cramped, ''[shuddering]'' and, uh... I can't even... uh, stretch out. ''[they are both disturbed by a brief rumbling]'' How'd you think you were gonna get everyone in here anyway? :'''Peridot''': I don't know. They'd... shrink or something. <hr width=50%/> :''[As it appears that the Cluster will take form and destroy the Earth]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[terrified]'' Steven, I'm sorry I couldn't save you, or the billions of other lifeforms who matter far, far less to me! Do you have any last words?! :'''Steven''': ''[hugging her]'' I love you, Peridot. :'''Peridot''': ''[emotionally]'' Wow... .thanks... ''[hugs him back]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''The Cluster''': Want to stay... But... Can't stop! Going to form! Can't stop! Going to form! Help! Help! Help! <hr width=50%/> :''[After Steven helps the Cluster bubble itself]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[hugging him]'' You did it! :'''Steven''': We did it together. And it was great. :''[The other Gems arrive, with an unconscious Lapis]'' :'''Steven''': Guys! You're back! I-is Lapis okay? :'''Garnet''': She'll be fine. :'''Pearl''': ''[concerned]'' You look happy! Uh, did you destroy the Cluster? :'''Steven''': No, I talked to it. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Steven''': It doesn't want to destroy the Earth. It just wants company. And it's got it now! It's like a bajillion people! They'll have lots of time to get to know each other, now that they're in a bubble. :'''Pearl''': ''[utterly astonished]'' How on ''Earth'' did you bubble that ''whole thing?!'' :'''Steven''': We had a little help. :''[The Cluster is shown again, still peacefully contained in its bubble]'' ===''Same Old World''=== :'''Lapis''': For a moment, I really felt like things were different... but they're not. No matter where I go, I'm trapped. :'''Steven''': But you're not. You're not underwater. You're not in a mirror. This time, you're free! :'''Lapis''': But I'm still on Earth! :'''Steven''': Yeah, but nothing is still on Earth. Everything's always changing—the leaves, the cities... even Jersey changes. My dad says the rest stops used to be pretty gross, but now they have sushi! This isn't the same world that held you prisoner - not anymore. And I know it doesn't feel like home, but maybe that can change too. I know you can't go back to Homeworld, but if you stay here, it'll be your choice to stay here. :'''Lapis''': It's funny... For all the time I spent on Earth, I barely saw any of it. :'''Steven''': That's not funny. That's super sad. ===''Barn Mates''=== :'''Peridot''': And then I'll say, "Hey, as one refugee to another, it isn't so bad that we can't go back to Homeworld, am I right? Why don't we watch the sun come up and figure out what we're going to do with all this time, eh Lazuli?" And then she'll say, "Yes Peridot, as impressed I was by you on the ship, I am even more impressed with your new compact look and capacity for friendship! I'm so glad we're going to live together!" Peridot, Facet 5. (''ends her log'') Let's begin. :'''Lapis''': ''[amused]'' This isn't gonna work. :'''Peridot''': Wait, what? :'''Lapis''': I really thought I would be living alone here. :'''Steven''': Yeah, but this is even better! Oh here, how about this? I saw this on an episode of a TV show! I didn't see how it ended, but I'm sure it worked out right. We'll divide this place in half, you'll both have your own space. (''takes out a marker from his left pocket and opens the cap; divides the barn into 2 non-equal parts using the marker'') High ceilings, real wood floors, convenient location on the heart of the country. So what do you think, roomies? :'''Peridot''': I like the cut of your gem, Steven Quartz! :'''Lapis''': No. No way! :'''Peridot''': What's the problem? You're the one getting all the good stuff! You've got the propeller and paint cans on your side! You can do tons with those! oooh, actually, I want the paint cans - you wanna trade something? :'''Lapis''': I don't care about paint cans. That's not the problem. :'''Peridot''': Bah... :'''Steven''': What's wrong, Lapis? :'''Lapis''': It's ''her''. :'''Peridot''': Egh?! :'''Lapis''': ''She's'' the problem. I can't stand the thought of looking at her everyday. She's the one who dragged me back to Earth. :'''Peridot''': Hey, it wasn't my idea! I was headed to earth and I needed an informant! It should have been a simple mission. Things didn't exactly work out for either of us. :'''Lapis''': You used me like everyone else did! :'''Peridot''': But it's not like that anymore! It's different now - I'M different! :'''Steven''': It's true, Lapis! Peridot has really come into her own since she's been living on Earth. :'''Peridot''': I sabotaged my own mission! I helped save the Earth, I even yelled at Yellow Diamond! She's probably sending a whole fleet to find me and shatter me right now! I'm kind of a big deal; a big Anti-Homeworld Deal! :'''Lapis''': Steven, I don't think this is gonna work. :'''Steven''': Ahhhh, ummmm, maybe we could put up a curtain? (''Lapis gives him a patient smile, but walks out of the barn and flies to the top of the Silo; to Peridot'') Sorry. Thought this was gonna be okay. I forgot the last time you saw each other.. wasn't, so okay. :'''Peridot''': That was in the ''past''! It's not like that now! UGHHHH! :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Peridot''': But obviously she doesn't! She's the one who needs to know! I want ''her'' to understand! :'''Steven''': Aw Peridot, that's sweet! That's the you you need to show her! :'''Peridot''': ''[confused]'' Show her my ''sweet''? :'''Steven''': I got you. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[hands Lapis the letter]'' Steven did the outside, and I did the inside. :'''Lapis''': ''[opens the letter with an unimpressed look; reading]'' '''"Sorry I interrogated you. You were just full of such useful information. That's a sincere compliment. Peridot."''' <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': ''[on a rubber ring in a miniature lake]'' H-two-oh my gosh. It's a smaller than an average lake! :'''Steven''': It's from the hole we drilled. Peridot and I sealed it and filled it with water. ''[Lapis pauses for a beat]'' :'''Peridot''': It's a gift for you. You know, 'cause like water's your thing? ''[snickers]'' Pretty good right? The barn's out here in the country, but now you can get your moisture fix whenever. Do all that water stuff you do. :'''Lapis''': ..Water? Seriously? :'''Peridot''': Yeah! :'''Lapis''': You do realize that I spent the last few months trapped under the ocean, right? :'''Peridot''': Sure! But, I thought— :'''Lapis''': It was an endless, crushing darkness. Wet and bleak and suffocating. Water was the tomb I lived in for those months. :'''Peridot''': ''[queasy and terrified]'' Tomb, you say? :'''Lapis''': Yeah. I'm kinda taking a break from water right now. ''[beat]'' But thanks…for the lake. :'''Steven''': ''[grimaces]'' Uhh… :'''Peridot''': Urrgh… :'''Lapis''': Don't worry, Steven. It's not your fault. <hr width=50%/> :'''Peridot''': A pool! What a cloddy idea. Of course she wouldn't like that. There's nothing! Nothing! Nothing! :'''Steven''': There has to be something. Something, something. Maybe, instead of something ''she'' likes, give her something ''you'' like. A piece of you! :'''Peridot''': Um…okay. How about my "Camp Pining Hearts" DVD? :'''Steven''': Which season? :'''Peridot''': Five? :'''Steven''': Trash. :'''Peridot''': I know! Ugh! ''[falls onto the ground with her back; speaks into the tape recorder]'' Log date- whatever. Facet- whatever! WHATEVER! Clearly there's nothing important enough for me to give to Lazuli. At least I have you, tape recorder. <hr width=50%/> :'''Lapis''': ''[speaks into the tape recorder]'' I don't want your garbage. ''[raises the tape recorder up, crushes it, and drops it onto the ground]'' :'''Peridot''': GUH! What, were you trapped in a tape recorder, too?! ''[Lapis glares enraged at her; frustrated]'' Look, I get it, you know? You're confused. You can never go back to Homeworld. This place doesn't exactly feel like home yet. You're alone! No one could ''possibly'' know what that feels like! Oh, wait, ''I'' do! We're the same! Except… ''[calms down]'' you don't have to be alone. So, tell me, then, what you want from me. And whatever that is… ''[sighs]'' I'll do it. :'''Lapis''': ''[scowling]'' I want you… TO LEAVE! :'''Peridot''': ''[visibly hurt]'' Okay. ''[starts walking away]'' :'''Steven''': Lapis, why are you being so mean to her? She's really trying. :'''Lapis''': Why do you trust her, Steven? :'''Steven''': Because I know her! Lapis, you're not even giving her a chance. You should have at least gotten to know her before you decided you don't like her. Now it's too late. And she's never coming back again. ''[He and Lapis see Peridot running towards them while screaming]'' Oh, she's coming back again. ===''Hit the Diamond''=== :''[Five Rubies have arrived on Earth; Steven and the Gems hide in the barn]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa, look at 'em all. :'''Peridot''': ''[scared]'' I knew it! They're after me! This is the end of the line! :'''Lapis''': You really weren't kidding. :'''Peridot''': I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod…to her face. :'''Pearl''': Oh, honestly, you call ''everyone'' a clod. :'''Peridot''': Yes. But not everyone has command over all the armies of Homeworld waiting for the word to ''shatter me!'' ''[hides under a box]'' :'''Steven''': Peridot! We won't let them get you. ''[lifts the box, revealing Peridot curling up sadly]'' :'''Peridot''': Haven't I caused you enough trouble? :'''Garnet''': Don't worry, Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home, and that includes clods like you. :'''Peridot''': ''[quietly]'' That's ''my'' word… :'''Garnet''': Listen up, everyone. I have a plan. Or should I say… ''[holds up her hands]'' ''We'' have a plan? ''[giggles as she unfuses, separating into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Hello, everyone. :'''Pearl & Amethyst''': Ruby!

''[Sapphire swings the bat]'' Yeah, that's pretty good. Let me show you again. :''["Eyeball" Ruby watches them, then glares at Steven]'' :'''Steven''': ''[sweating]'' Well, heh...

I'm not gonna stand by and let my friends fight my battles! :'''Steven''': Awww, Peri loves us! :'''Ruby Fusion''': Are you the Peridot assigned to the failed Earth mission? :'''Peridot''': ''[nervously]'' Not sure if "failed" would be the right word to-- :'''Ruby Fusion''': Where is Jasper?! :'''Peridot''': You're looking for... Jasper? :'''Ruby Fusion''': Correct! :'''Peridot''': Wait - but I'm the one who betrayed the mission! Who called Yellow Diamond a clod! The new leader of the Crystal Gems?! :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Ruby Fusion''': Tell us where Jasper is! ''NOW!'' :'''Peridot''': Jasper... umm... we know where Jasper is! ''[Pearl nervously shakes her head]'' :'''Ruby Fusion''': ''WELL?!'' :'''Peridot''': Uhhhhh.... :'''Steven''': ''[pointing to the sky]'' Neptune!

''[she falls back down]'' Dang, too slow. Better ask quicker. :'''Amethyst''': ''[jumps up again]'' What'd you say? :'''Steven''': I could really use your assistance dealing with the sudden appearance ''[she falls down]''—aw, rats!

But then I started to notice that... you grow. :'''Greg''': Well, can't play guitar with little baby hands. :''[Rose giggles and then pauses for a moment]'' :'''Rose''': When a gem is made, it's for a reason.

We trail it until it stops to rest. :'''Steven''': Wow, Connie! You're a wilderness expert. :'''Connie''': Well, I like to be prepared. When civilization collapses and this world ends, I need to be ready to build the new one. :'''Steven''': Yeah. I guess if Homeworld invades Earth, things could get pretty crazy for humanity. :'''Connie''': Forget Gems! Humans are already starting their own demise! Peak oils, Steven!

I thought you guys ''wanted'' me to be strong. An-and now I am, and you're mad at me?! :'''Amethyst''': No! I get mad at myself! That's, ugh, the thing I do! I get mad at myself, and then it makes me suck at everything I do even more. :'''Steven''': ''[sighs]'' Amethyst, you don't suck. You do so many cool things. You have two whips. Two whips! And the dash thing? Amethyst, you're so much better than me! :'''Amethyst''': No way. You have Rose's shield, and bubble, and the floating thing, and— ''[grunts]'' I'd just be floating all day! :'''Steven''': Floating? I forget to use that half the time!

You've ruined the ruins! :'''Amethyst''': Whoops. :'''Steven''': I don't think we're gonna see the prize pouch for a while. ===''{{w|Bismuth (Steven Universe)|Bismuth}}''=== :''[Steven and the Gems take Bismuth to the strawberry battlefield]'' :'''Garnet''': Homeworld's final attack on Earth wiped out all of the Crystal Gems. :'''Pearl''': Rose was able to protect Garnet and myself, and by the looks of it, she was able to protect you as well. ''[Bismuth picks up a rusty battle-axe]'' :'''Bismuth''': I knew those Homeworld elites were twisted. How many of us did they shatter? Crazy Lace? Biggs?! Snowflake?! If I was there, I-'''I coulda stopped it!!''' :'''Garnet''': It's not like they've stopped trying. :'''Bismuth''': What's that? :'''Garnet''': Homeworld still has its eyes on this planet. :'''Pearl''': We continue to thwart their plans over and over. ''[Steven runs over followed by Amethyst]'' :'''Steven''': But they just keep coming back! :'''Amethyst''': Yep. They want us bad. :'''Bismuth''': Good. I thought I wouldn't get another chance to show those upper-crusts who's ''boss''! Let's show 'em what happens when you mess with the Crystal Gems! ''[slams battle-axe to the ground with a loud roar; Steven smiles]'' :'''Steven''': Yeah. <hr width=50% /> :'''Bismuth''': Rose Quartz changed my life. I came to Earth thinking this was just another colony. Build another arena for important fighters to fight in, build another spire for important thinkers to think in, and then I met her. Just another quartz soldier, made right here in the dirt, but she was different. And she was different because she decided to be. And she asked me what I wanted to build, and I'd never heard that before. And Gems never hear they can be anything other than what they are, but Rose opened our eyes. :'''Steven''': Everybody always tells me how great Mom was. I just don't feel like I can ever measure up to her. ''[Bismuth chuckles out loud]'' :'''Bismuth''': I can't believe this... that I'm the one giving the pep talk to Rose's... Rose's...? :'''Steven''': Son. :'''Bismuth''': Right. You are different. That's what's so exciting. You don't have to be like Rose Quartz. You can be someone even better. You can be you. And you know what? You deserve an even better weapon. <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven walks to a severely injured Bismuth holding the Breaking Point]'' :'''Steven''': Bismuth... this has to stop. :'''Bismuth''': So what are you gonna do, shatter me?! ''[grabs Breaking Point to her gemstone]'' Go ahead! <big>'''JUST ''DO IT''!!!'''</big> :'''Steven''': ..No! Even if we don't agree, nobody deserves this! ''[Bismuth pauses, yanks Breaking Point from Steven. He steps back, stops at Rose's sword, draws it out as Bismuth advances—SHING!!]'' :''[for a long beat, Steven sees Bismuth impaled holding Rose's sword]'' :'''Bismuth''': ..You shoulda shattered me back then. At least if I were in pieces, I wouldn't have to know how little I mattered to you. You didn't even tell 'em. You bubbled me away and didn't ever tell your friends... My friends... :'''Steven''': I'm going to tell them! I'm gonna tell them everything. ''[Bismuth takes in a surprise, chuckles in her tears]'' :'''Bismuth''': Then you really are better than her. ===''Beta''=== :''[Peridot and Lapis Lazuli are watching ''"Camp Pining Hearts"'' on the truck sticking out over the barn's entrance]'' :'''Percy''': ''[in the show]'' But Paulette, I need you! :'''Peridot''': Oh, get over it, Percy. Go make another friendship bracelet. :'''Lapis''': Seriously. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': Wow, you guys are looking good. And I love what you did to the barn! :'''Peridot''': Aww, I know. But wait, wait - you guys ''have'' to see the inside! Lapis, fly us in! :'''Lapis''': ''[smiling]'' Nnnno. <hr width=50% /> :''[Inside the barn]'' :'''Amethyst''': You did all this stuff on purpose? Like, you didn't just knock over a bunch of paint cans and go, "Eh, just leave it"? :'''Peridot''': Oh, no. This was all very intentional. You see, I had this idea: What if we made music, but instead of sounds, we use things! :'''Amethyst''': That's dumb. :'''Steven''': Guys, that's art! :'''Peridot''': Art? That sounds ridiculous! :'''Lapis''': I've been calling it "meepmorp". :'''Peridot''': Let us show you our... morps. ''[chuckles]'' :''[She shows them something made from her broken recorder, some cassettes and a blue ribbon]'' :'''Peridot''': This piece is called "Wow, thanks". It represents the struggles of intercommunication. The tape is the ribbon that binds our experience on Earth together. It has no functional purpose! It just makes me feel bad! ''[smiles proudly]'' :''[Lapis shows them a baseball bat, mitt and ball hanging from a stick by string]'' :'''Lapis''': Here's my meepmorp. This is a baseball bat. It reminds me of when I played baseball. ''[walks backwards to a leaf sitting on a rock]'' This is a leaf that Steven gave me. It reminds me of the time Steven... gave me a leaf. :'''Steven''': Hey, yeah, it reminds me of that too! ''[Peridot grins; Amethyst looks nauseated]'' :''[Next is a TV with two mirrors attached, playing Percy in ''Camp Pining Hearts'' saying "I just feel trapped" over and over]'' :'''Steven''': ''[worried]'' Is this one about... the thousands of years you spent trapped in the mirror? :'''Lapis''': No. I just really like that show. <hr width=50% /> :'''Peridot''': ''[yelling]'' HEY, LAPIS, ARE YOU OKAAAY??? :'''Lapis''': ''[watching ''Camp Pining Hearts'' on the truck again]'' Yeah. :'''Peridot''': ARE YOU SURE? :'''Lapis''': Yeah. :'''Peridot''': I'M LEAVING, BUT I'LL BE BACK! :'''Lapis''': Okay. :'''Peridot''': DO YOU NEED ANYTHING? :'''Lapis''': No. :'''Peridot''': ... WHAT SEASON IS THAT? :'''Lapis''': Three. ===''Earthlings''=== :'''Jasper''': Pipe down! You take orders from me now! You used to be a Quartz too, didn't you? What happened to you? Tch. Disgraceful. I can't believe I've resorted to recruiting you freaks! You're almost as bad as that Crystal ''runt''! Just look at you. This planet ruins everything! Well, (''chuckles'') except for me. <hr width=50% /> :'''Jasper''': Every Gem is made for a purpose—to serve the order of the Diamonds. Those who cannot fit inside this order must be purged! To come out misshapen, to reshape yourself outside your purpose, and to defend this worthless, ruined planet is a disgrace! <hr width=50% /> :''[Steven throws his shield over a towering Injector; Amethyst backs away from Jasper as it falls between them]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven... I-I can't win. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I work, she came out right, and I came out... wrong. :'''Steven''': That's just what Jasper thinks! She's the only one who thinks you should be like her! :'''Amethyst''': But— :'''Steven''': Stop trying to be like Jasper. You're ''nothing'' like Jasper! You're like ''me''!! Because we're both not like anybody! And yeah, it sucks! ''[Jasper lifts up the Injector and throws it aside]'' But at least I've got you. And you've got me! ''[tearing up]'' So stop leaving me out of this! :'''Amethyst''': Us worse Gems stick together... ''[sniffles]'' right? ''[Steven holds out his hand]'' :'''Steven''': That's why we're the best. :''[Amethyst takes his hand, and they hug - and fuse]'' <hr width=50% /> :''[After briefly fusing with a corrupted Gem, the corruption spreads slowly in Jasper's left arm]'' :'''Peridot''': Eww, that's disgusting! :'''Smoky Quartz''': It's... corruption. ''[separates back into Steven and Amethyst]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven, be careful. :'''Steven''': But this just happened - maybe I can do something! Jasper, it's okay. I'm here. ''[starts approaching her]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[snarling]'' Rose... :'''Steven''': I'm not Rose, I'm Steven. I just wanna try and heal you. ''[licks his palm and reaches for her - but she slashes at him, tearing his shirt]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven!! :''[Peridot unsuccessfully tries to mentally move the metal rod again]'' :'''Steven''': ''[as Amethyst tries to charge at Jasper]'' Stop! :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' I see how you do it now, Rose... You want Gems after they're worthless. You wait until after they've lost! Because when you're at the bottom... you'll follow ''anyone'' that makes you feel like less of a failure. ''[as Peridot rushes over]'' Huh... Just look at this one! You've stripped her of everything! Her limb enhancers, her status, her dignity... :'''Peridot''': I still have one of those things. :'''Jasper''': ''How can you side with Rose Quartz?!'' Why? Why protect this useless shell of a planet?! :'''Peridot''': It's not a shell. There's so much life, living here. ''[smiling]'' That's what ''I'm'' doing! I'm living here! I've been learning new things about myself all the time! Like how I can make metal do my bidding! ''[tries to show this off, but the rod just falls behind her]'' The point being: Earth can set you free. ''[Steven smiles]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[angrily, as the corruption spreads rapidly in her body]'' Earth... is a prison! I got out because I'm better than this place...! :'''Steven''': It's getting worse. :'''Jasper''': I only came back to finish you off...! :'''Steven''': Try not to move! :'''Jasper''': ''You can't manipulate me, Rose Quartz!'' :'''Steven''': I-- I'm not manipulating! I'm trying to help! :'''Jasper''': Help...? ''HELP?!'' I've been fighting from the second I broke free of the Earth's crust! Because of what ''YOU'' did to my colony! Because of what '''YOU''' did to my planet! Because of what '''YOU''' did to my Diamond! :'''Steven''': ''[confsed]'' I... Yellow Diamond? :'''Jasper''': Wha...?! ''MY'' DIAMOND! ''YOUR'' DIAMOND! <big>'''''PINK DIAMOND!!!'''''</big> :''[Her corruption worsening, Jasper becomes barely recognizable and looks ready to attack; Peridot finally gets the metal rod to move, plunging it into Jasper and making her poof]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[after a brief silence]'' You're... welcome. :'''Amethyst''': ''[smiles, then walks over to Jasper's gem and sighs]'' Come here, sis. ''[bubbles her]'' ===''Back to the Moon''=== :''[the Rubies walk up the moon base stairway followed by Amethyst (as Jasper), Pearl, Garnet and Steven]'' :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': The Earth was Pink Diamond's colony. Everything was going smoothly at first. Kindergartens were incubating their first soldiers—big, warm pieces of quartz, like this mountain over here—were being created from its rich minerals with great success. Then, bam! One of Pink Diamond's very own quartz soldiers started a rebellion and took it too far. Where were you when that happened? :'''Amethyst''': Oh, you know... around. ''["Eyeball" turns to Amethyst]'' :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': I was there. I saw it with my own eye. I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz... ''[projects her light on the mural]'' shatter Pink Diamond! :''[Steven looks up in his horror; Garnet is frozen still for a beat, Pearl starts shivering in fear]'' :'''Steven''': No... ''[beat]'' Rose Quartz w-would never do that! ''[tearing up]'' A-And, sure, she had to fight but... But she would never shatter someone! ===''Bubbled''=== :''[Steven (in his bubble) and "Eyeball" Ruby drift in space far away from the Earth]'' :'''Steven''': There goes the Earth. :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': There goes my whole platoon! ''[growls at him]'' This is a mess! ''[walks around his bubble]'' What'll I say about my report?! How will I even ''make'' my report?! This is a nightmare! ''[looks down at him]'' And this is all ''your'' fault. :'''Steven''': Whoa, hey, no it's not! You were trying to hurt my friends! :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': But you opened the airlock in the moon base. ''You'' sent us flying into space with no hope of ever returning! :'''Steven''': ''[long pause]'' Okay, so maybe that was my fault. I'm sorry. There! Are you happy? :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': No! Lucky you're in that bubble, or I'd pop you right in the face. :'''Steven''': Well, if you're going to be a grump about it, then we can just float in silence until we both die! :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': Sounds great! :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': I can't wait!! :'''Steven''': Me neither! <hr width=50% /> :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': When I heard rumors there might still be Crystal Gems on Earth, I couldn't believe it. A thousand years of fighting were all for nothing! And Rose Quartz might still be alive? ''[scoffs, rolls on her side]'' She must be. Why else would someone as important as Jasper be back on Earth? For closure, that's why. I wanted it, too. I wanted to see Rose Quartz with my own eye. At the very least, I thought Jasper might have some answers, but... it wasn't even her. Just another trick. <hr width=50% /> :'''Steven''': How come nobody told me about Pink Diamond? :'''Garnet''': We all did what we had to during the war. Everything's different now. :'''Steven''': But did Mom really do it? Did she really... shatter her? :'''Garnet''': She had to. The Earth belonged to Pink Diamond. Destroying her was the only way to save the planet. For Amethyst to be herself, for Pearl to be free, for me to be together. ''[clutches her hand]'' For you to exist. :'''Steven''': But I thought... a-at least she'd never— :'''Garnet''': She didn't always do what was best for her. But she always did what was best for Earth. :'''Steven''': Even... if it meant shattering someone? :'''Garnet''': Yes. :''[Steven pauses, takes a deep breath and sighs as the Gems pilot the Rubies' Roaming Eye back to Earth]'' :'''Steven''': Thanks for telling me.

Tegh Bahadur continued in the spirit of the first guru, Nanak; his 115 poetic hymns are in the text [[Guru Granth Sahib]]. Tegh Bahadur resisted the forced conversions of Kashmiri Pandits and non-Muslims to Islam, and was publicly beheaded in 1675 on the orders of Mughal emperor [[Aurangzeb]] in [[Delhi]] for refusing to convert to [[Islam]]. ==Quotes== *'''My answer is that I am a [[Hindu]] and I love [[Hindu]] dharma. How can anyone destroy it? It provides happiness both in this world as well as in the other world. There is no other religion like it. Only a deranged person or a fool would leave it to become vile. [[Hindu]] dharma would remain in the world for ever. It is not going to be destroyed by your efforts.''' **Tegh Bahadur’s Hindi reply to [[Aurangzeb]] when he was asked to become a Muslim.

It is significant that when [[Tegh Bahadur]] was summoned to Delhi, he went as a representative of the Hindus. He was executed in the year 1675. His son who succeeded him as guru later described his father’s martyrdom as in the cause of the Hindu faith, ‘to preserve their caste marks and their sacred thread did he perform the supreme sacrifice’. The guru himself looked upon his community as an integral part of the Hindu social system. **Khushwant Singh: Many Faces, quoted from Elst, K. (2002). Who is a Hindu?: Hindu revivalist views of Animism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and other offshoots of Hinduism. New Delhi: Voice of India. Ch. 8 *[Aurangzeb] summoned the ninth [[Sikh]] Guru, Tegh Bahadur (1664-1675 A.D.), to the imperial seat at [[Delhi]] and martyred him in cold [[blood]] on his refusal to embrace Islam. Some followers of the [[Guru]] who had accompanied him were subjected to inhuman torture and torn to pieces. This was as it were a final signal that there was something very hard at the heart of Islam's heart which the Gurus had tried to soften with their teachings of humanism and universalism. [[Sikhism]] had to accept the challenge and pick up the [[sword]] in defence of its very existence. **Swarup, Ram, & Goel, S. R. (1985). Hindu-Sikh relationship. (Introduction by S.R. Goel) *The [[Sikh]] Gurus Tegh Bahadur, beheaded by [[Aurangzeb]] in 1675 for refusing to convert, and his son [[Govind Singh]], who founded the military Khalsa order and whose four sons were killed by the Moghul troops, are very popular in Hindutva glorifications of national heroes'. Their pictures are routinely displayed at functions of the RSS and its affiliates, and their holidays celebrated, e.g.: 'Over 650 branches of Bharat Vikas Parishad observe [[Guru]] Tegh Bahadur Martyrdom Day'. ** Elst, Koenraad (2002).

An arrest warrant against him had been issued on non-religious and nonpolitical charges, and he was found out after having gone into hiding; [[Aurangzeb]] gave him a chance to escape his punishment by converting to Islam. Being a devout Muslim, [[Aurangzeb]] calculated that the conversion of this [[Hindu]] sect leader would encourage his followers to convert along with him. The [[Guru]] was tortured and beheaded when he refused the offer to accept Islam, and one of his companions was sawed in two for having said that [[Islam]] should be destroyed.<br/> At any rate, he stood firm as a Hindu, telling [[Aurangzeb]] that he loved his [[Hindu]] Dharma and that [[Hindu]] Dharma would never die,-a statement conveniently overlooked in most neo-Sikh accounts. ... He was not a [[Sikh]] defending Hinduism, but a [[Hindu]] of the Nanakpanth defending his own [[Hindu]] religion... ** Elst, Koenraad (2002).

Here the Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur was called upon to embrace Islam, and on his refusal was tortured for five days and then "beheaded on a warrant from the emperor" (December 1675). **Lal, K. S. (1999).

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth.

You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' I'm the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'',Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz, and for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions so odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong -- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well... ''[Laughs]'' :''[They both laugh in unison]'' :'''Lars''': I think it suits us! :'''Sadie''': Yeah. Me, too! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I don’t need you to respect me, I respect me. / I don’t need you to love me, I love me. / But I want you to know you could know me, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / Change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind. ♫ [[Category:Steven Universe seasons]] b4zgjifc2bc464henem3d447t8g5kav 3147932 3147931 2022-07-27T00:24:44Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* Lars of the Stars */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} The following is a list of quotes from the fifth season of ''[[Steven Universe]]''. ===''Stuck Together''=== :'''Aquamarine''': Say, Rose, how do I look? :'''Steven''': Awful, small and mean! <hr width=50% /> :'''Topaz''': What was I thinking? :'''Aquamarine''': That's the problem with you fusions. Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' I'm the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz, and for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions so odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong -- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say?

Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it!

Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz, and for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions so odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong -- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well...

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz, and for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions so odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong -- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well...

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz, and for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions so odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong -- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well... ''[Laughs]'' :''[They both laugh in unison]'' :'''Lars''': I think it suits us! :'''Sadie''': Yeah. Me, too! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I don’t need you to respect me, I respect me. / I don’t need you to love me, I love me. / But I want you to know you could know me, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / Change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind. ♫ [[Category:Steven Universe seasons]] nml4z6wfvob1tpy88om1vbgntce2dwb 3147937 3147935 2022-07-27T00:28:48Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* Your Mother and Mine */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} The following is a list of quotes from the fifth season of ''[[Steven Universe]]''. ===''Stuck Together''=== :'''Aquamarine''': Say, Rose, how do I look? :'''Steven''': Awful, small and mean! <hr width=50% /> :'''Topaz''': What was I thinking? :'''Aquamarine''': That's the problem with you fusions. Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong -- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this!

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice Sapphire had caused due to her stress]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well...

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my ''other'' favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say?

I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it!

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well... ''[Laughs]'' :''[They both laugh in unison]'' :'''Lars''': I think it suits us! :'''Sadie''': Yeah. Me, too! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I don’t need you to respect me, I respect me. / I don’t need you to love me, I love me. / But I want you to know you could know me, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / If you change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind, / Change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind. ♫ [[Category:Steven Universe seasons]] qqheuv2mh5glm83p3ezwby41o6m9hmk 3147941 3147940 2022-07-27T00:42:48Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* Reunited */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} The following is a list of quotes from the fifth season of ''[[Steven Universe]]''. ===''Stuck Together''=== :'''Aquamarine''': Say, Rose, how do I look? :'''Steven''': Awful, small and mean! <hr width=50% /> :'''Topaz''': What was I thinking? :'''Aquamarine''': That's the problem with you fusions. Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': This is it. :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say?

I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well...

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': This is it. :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion]'' You deserve this-- ''all'' of you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you! You're... you're a space pirate! :'''Lars''': Look at you! You're a rock star! :'''Sadie''': ''[Laughs] Well...

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': This is it. :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion]'' You deserve this-- ''all'' of you! :'''Steven''': Stop, please! :'''Amethyst''': Steven… :'''Pearl''': What do we do? :'''Steven''': I don't know. She won't listen, she just wants to fight! :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': Lapis Lazuli? Does every Gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?! :'''Lapis''': I've felt ''worse.'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong! I'm not my mom! :'''White Diamond''': But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know? :'''Steven''': I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings. :'''White Diamond''': Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Don't listen to her Steven! She's just trying to mess with you! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this?! Where is Pink? :'''Pink Steven''': She's gone. :'''White Diamond''': What did you say? Answer me! :'''Pink Steven''': ''[shouting]'' She's <big><big>'''GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!'''</big></big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it <big>FOR YOU!!!</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! ''[rushes to Steven and hugs him]'' Are you back together? Are you you? :'''Steven''': Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me. :'''White Diamond''': ''NO!'' You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Padparadscha''': I predict our long journey through space will soon be over. :'''Lars''': Welcome home, guys. :'''Rhodonite''': We finally made it! Earth! No more running, no more hiding! No more Diamond Authority! ''[they notice the Diamonds, who have heard everything]'' Well, we're cracked. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sadie''': Lars... Look at you!

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth.

Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': This is it. :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion]'' You deserve this-- ''all'' of you! :'''Steven''': Stop, please! :'''Amethyst''': Steven… :'''Pearl''': What do we do? :'''Steven''': I don't know. She won't listen, she just wants to fight! :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship and Blue Diamond's, but are too damaged]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you.

Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do.

White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult.

Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us. It's the only way we're gonna get up to her head. :'''Amethyst''': I'm in! :'''Pearl''': I'm in, too. :'''Garnet''': Then it's decided. It's time to form Obsidian. :''[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]'' :'''Peridot''': ''[amazed]'' They're HU-U-U-U-GE!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're wrong!

You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child! :'''Steven''': I ''am'' a child. What's your excuse? :'''White Diamond''': ''[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same]'' What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- ''[gasps]'' Something's wrong! With ME! No! <hr width="50%"/> :'''White Diamond''': What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue... :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[gasps]'' She's off-color... :'''White Diamond''': This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is ''anyone?'' :'''Steven''': You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too. :'''White Diamond''': But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to ''be'' better, I'm supposed to make ''everything'' better! :'''Steven''': You can.

Sooner or later, you will become ''sentimental.'' ''[the ship rumbles, coming to a stop and a notification pops up]'' We're here. Look, just… unfuse, and we'll never speak of this again. ===''The Trial''=== :'''Steven''': ''[speaking to himself]'' I know my mom did something really bad. Whatever Homeworld has in store for me… I'M READY! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Prosecuting Zircon''': Defending a rebel? Isn't that… ''treason?'' ''[chuckles]'' :'''Defense Zircon''': I was ''assigned'' to this! :''[Blue and Yellow Pearl warp in]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': All rise for the luminous Yellow Diamond! ''[poses]'' :'''Blue Pearl''': And the lustrous Blue Diamond. ''[bows]'' :''[Blue and Yellow Diamond warp in behind them, staring down at Steven]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[looking around]'' Where is the accused? :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks down at Steven]'' Is that Rose Quartz? Look at this ''hideous'' she's taken. Forget the trial, we should shatter just for looking like that. :'''Blue Diamond''': No. I want to hear her make her case. I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her. Because I want to do something ''worse''. :''[Steven gulps nervously]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[warps in their throne chairs]'' Fine. Let's just get on with it, shall we? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I did it! :'''Defense Zircon''': Wha… What, what?! Stop! :'''Blue Diamond''': No! I want to hear what she has to say. :''[Steven is elevated up to the Diamonds' height]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': State your name for the record, please. :'''Steven''': I, um… I am Rose Quartz… and I'm guilty. :'''Defense Zircon''': Wait! No, don't say that! :'''Steven''': Everything you guys I did, I did. And I did it by myself. I'm sorry. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. ''[points down to Lars]'' Just let him go! And leave the Earth alone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Ha! Sounds like a solid confession to me. :'''Blue Diamond''': How? How did you do it? How did you shatter Pink Diamond? :'''Steven''': ''[nervously]'' Um, well…I did it on Earth in front of Pink Diamond's palanquin. I was probably like "Stop!" And she was all like, "No!" So we fought -- I think. And she probably did some cool moves. I probably did some cool stuff, too, some jump-kicks and stuff. But I was most likely deeply conflicted about deciding to shatter her. Definitely crying. I probably had to use the Breaking Point to do it. :'''Blue Diamond''': It was a ''sword!'' ''[covers her eyes, crying and a blue light fills the room, making everyone except Lars tear up]'' You… shattered her… with a sword! ''[starts sobbing]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[walks up and comforts Blue]'' That's quite enough testimony from you! We shall take a short recess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Defense Zircon''': What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean, ''probably''?! :'''Steven''': Look I just... I don't actually know how it happened, okay? :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't ''know''?! :'''Steven''': I... :'''Defense Zircon''': ''[grabs Steven by the shirt collar and picks him up]'' Don't tumble my rocks! Both our gems are on the line! Did you do this or not?! :'''Steven''': It was me, alright! ''[Defense Zircon let's go of his shirt and drops him]'' Rose Quartz did it, and I've got her gem, so I'm the one who's got to pay for this. :'''Defense Zircon''': You don't know how it happened. ''[Steven shakes his head]'' I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Defense Zircon''': It's because it doesn't make sense! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You think you can get away, Rose? You stood your ground on that little speck called Earth. But you're on ''our'' world now. ===''Off Colors''=== :'''Padparadscha''': Oh my gosh, something incredible is going to happen to Lars! ===''Lars' Head''=== :'''Steven''': But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here. :'''Lars''': You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth. :'''Steven''': But, Lars-- :'''Lars''': Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it. ===''Dewey Wins''=== ===''Gemcation''=== ===''Raising the Barn''=== ===''Back to the Kindergarten''=== :'''Peridot''': This used to make sense to me. I thought life was generated in a kindergarten. Formless, aimless energy channeled into new, useful gems. But life doesn't start in a kindergarten. It ends here. I've gotten used to plants everywhere. Bugs and breeze and sunshine...all of that has been sucked out of this place. ===''Sadie Killer''=== ===''Kevin Party''=== ===''Lars of the Stars''=== :'''Emerald''': ''[on screen]'' It's over! I've got you now you miserable off-colors! :'''Lars''': You'll ''never'' take us alive, Emerald! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lars''': You don't get it, do you, Steven? ''[starts tearing up and sniffles]'' It should be me. ''[starts crying]'' ''I'm'' the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done! :'''Connie''': Do you really think Sadie is living her life ''just'' to get back at you? :'''Lars''': Why else would she be having so much fun without me?! :'''Steven''': Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but, she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the Cool Kids. She quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do ''something'' to feel better. :'''Connie''': And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are ''you'' doing any of this to hurt Sadie? :'''Lars''': No! I'm doing this because I have to. ''[tears up]'' I'd never do this to hurt Sadie because- :'''Steven''': Because! :'''Connie''': Because! :'''Both''': Because you're best friends! :''[Lars watches them fuse into Stevonnie]'' :'''Stevonnie''': And best friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other! ===''Jungle Moon''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[squealing in excitement]'' Whoa, cool! Yellow! ''[jumps up to her chair]'' Hey, Yellow. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Oh, you're still here. :'''Stevonnie''': What are you doing? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm commanding the dropships to colonize this planet. :'''Stevonnie''': I wanna command a dropship! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Well, when you have your ''own'' colony, you can command whatever you want. :'''Stevonnie''': I want a colony! ''[Yellow Diamond presses buttons on the panel with four diamonds]'' I want one now! ''[screen unlocks revealing a dropship on the panel]'' What's this? :'''Yellow Diamond''': I'm contacting the leader of the fleet. :'''Stevonnie''': ''[amazed]'' Let me do it! ''[starts pressing buttons on the screen but Yellow Diamond grabs her arm]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' DON'T TOUCH THAT! :'''Stevonnie''': ''[irritated]'' Why ''not''? You have so many worlds and I don't even have ''one''! It's not fair! I want ONE! I want my own ''army''! I want my own ''planet''! I deserve it! I'm just as important as ''YOU''! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[angrily]'' Then why don't you act like it, Pink?! :''[Stevonnie walks away, holding their arm, angry; approach a window and their fist clenches; Pink Diamond is seen through their reflection and the hand punches the glass smashing it; She suddenly wakes up from the dream, falling out of the hammock on the ground]'' :'''Stevonnie''': (''talking through Connie'') Whoa! ''[breathing hard]'' Steven, what was that? (''talking through Steven'') Diamonds. I'm having Diamond dreams again. But, why now? Why ''here''? ''[looks up and see a mural of Yellow Diamond]'' No way. ===''Your Mother and Mine''=== :'''Garnet''': Come on, everyone. Let me tell you the story of the ''real'' Rose Quartz. ''[Flashback story begins; narrating]'' It was Era 1. The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. And it was for this purpose that Pink Diamond chose her first colony-- the planet Earth. On Earth, every Gem was made to serve Pink Diamond, each with a role to play in her world's perfect empire. In comparison to their creator, their existence was ordinary. They were life-forms only meant to fit their mold, and no one had ever dared to think otherwise. Until, there was Rose Quartz. In stature, she was no different than any other Quartz. And for a time, she did her best to carry out her Diamond's bidding. However, she began to take notice of her strange colony and the life that existed there. Curiosity turned to appreciation. Appreciation turned to fondness. And fondness… turned to love. Soon she was unable to keep her findings secret, and she began asking her fellow Gems if they knew of the life on Earth and what they made of it. She continued to pry her fellow Kindergartners with questions ''so'' odd, that word of her eventually made its way to Pink Diamond. Rose Quartz was summoned at once. :'''Pink Diamond''': Quartz, what have you been saying down there? :'''Rose''': My Diamond, it has come to my attention that your colony, Earth, bears life. While I know these organic life-forms serve no purpose, I ask that we leave this planet and spare their lives. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Pink Diamond thought for a moment, and then laughed, a wicked, empty sound. :'''Pink Diamond''': ''[laughing]'' You wish to save these life-forms at the expense of our own? Ha! Don't be absurd. Return to your post, and I will forget your insolence. :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' And with that, Rose Quartz was dragged back to her kindergarten for duty. ''[A gem drags Rose away and she continues working]'' Only Rose could no longer stand to continue aiding in the destruction of Earth. She had no choice. She had to fight. :'''Rose''': ''[stops working and jumps into the air, changing her uniform into a dress before destroying an injector, stands on the broken injector and speaks to the other Quartzes]'' Is this what you want -- to inject, to build?! I've seen the life that exists for itself, and it lives here! Will you destroy it, or will you join it? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' Rose's message began to resonate to Pink Diamond's dismay. Her colony was falling apart. So, like a coward, she called for her Diamond allies, Yellow and Blue, to help. But Rose also found herself with allies, other Gems that were cast out for being wrong-- a Pearl who belonged to no one… a Bismuth who built weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants… An entirely new fusion, for not power, but for love… And countless others, all inspired by Rose to live for ourselves on Earth. She was our leader. And Earth was our precious home. And those who fought to save it became known as…the Crystal Gems! :'''Rhodonite''': Unbelievable! :'''Rutile Twins''': There were Gems like us? :'''Padparadscha''': Fighting. :'''Fluorite''': For… their… freedom? :'''Garnet''': Yes, and we were fearless! ''[Flashback resumes; narrating]'' It was an impossible fight, but we fought anyway. And the more Gems who saw us, the more who joined. But Pink Diamond's forces proved too strong. Rose feared that soon she would have nothing left to protect. Rose Quartz drew her rebel blade… and shattered Pink Diamond, saving the Earth for all time from her reign of terror. :'''Rutile Twins''': Wow! That's incredible! I don't believe it! :'''Lars''': ''[to Steven]'' Your mom did all that? That's awesome! :'''Rhodonite''': Wait. What about the rest? What happened after that? :'''Garnet''': ''[narrating]'' The other Diamonds were furious. In a last-ditch attempt to wipe out the Rebellion, the Diamonds launched a direct attack against Earth. And in their fury, they used their powers to end the fighting once and for all. :'''Padparadscha''': I predict this story won't have a happy ending. :'''Rutile Twins''': We were all told different stories. But they all ended the same way. :'''Fluorite''': With Rose Quartz… being… defeated. :'''Rhodonite''': This new version of the story is even worse! So, she was great, and they beat her? What are we supposed to get out of this -- that we can never win?! :'''Garnet''': We haven't yet, but we can, and we will. They said they annihilated Rose's rebellion, but here ''we'' are. They said they annihilated all of you on Homeworld, but here ''you'' are! They think they have us on the run, but they're the ones that are running from the truth. And the truth is we... are... everywhere! :'''Rhodonite''': But how many more of us can there be? :'''Steven''': Way more than you think! I was only on Homeworld for, like, an hour before I ran in to you guys. There must be Off Colors all over the place. :'''Garnet''': Rose used to say there was something about Earth -- something that set Gems free. But it's not just Earth. Look at you. Love, freedom -- it's universal. You all prove it every moment you live as yourselves. You can show everyone. :'''Fluorite''': We… can do that? :'''Lars''': Not while we're floating out here like sitting ducks. ===''The Big Show''=== ===''Pool Hopping''=== :'''Garnet''': I think I get it. :'''Steven''': Hm? :'''Garnet''': Why my future vision has been so off. I have to change the way I think about you. :'''Steven''': What? :'''Garnet''': I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up. ===''Letters to Lars''=== ===''Can't Go Back''=== :'''Blue Diamond''': But this is what you wanted. :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and gasps; turns to see Lapis is nowhere to be seen]'' Lapis? ''[turns forward to the silhouettes of Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamond]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and -- and now these Crystal Gems. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. We're tired of your excuses, Pink. :'''Steven''': The Diamonds. :'''Blue Diamonds''': This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. ''[Holds her hand up as Pink Diamond is about to say something]'' Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed. ===''A Single Pale Rose''=== :'''Steven''': It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven returns from Pearl's gem after learning the truth about how Rose Quartz "shattered" Pink Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': I know. :'''Pearl''': ''[tearing up]'' I wanted to tell you for ''so'' long. :'''Steven''': Mom was Pink Diamond. :''[Garnet and Amethyst stand in shock behind Steven]'' :'''Amethyst''': <big>'''WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?'''</big> ===''Now We're Only Falling Apart''=== :'''Amethyst''': Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?! :'''Steven''': She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time. :'''Pearl''': Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know, but now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything! :'''Amethyst''': Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet? :'''Garnet''': ''[shaking and gets up]'' Rose. She... she... ''[struggles to stay stable and defuses into Ruby and Sapphire]'' :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': ''[betrayed and heartbroken with fury]'' '''SHE LIED TO US!''' She lied about EVERYTHING! ''[freezes up the floor]'' She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her! :'''Ruby''': We couldn't have known! :'''Sapphire''': No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire... :'''Sapphire''': But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! :'''Ruby''': Sapphire, wait! :'''Steven''': Guys! ''[slips on the ice]'' :'''Ruby''': Please...We can just stay calm and talk about this, right? Let's just, talk. :'''Sapphire''': Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say? ''[warps to Rose's Fountain]'' :'''Pearl''': Ruby, I am so sorry... :'''Steven''': Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire. :'''Pearl''': Right. :'''Steven''': Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire. :'''Ruby''': Okay. ''[starts crying]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Sapphire''': ''[grieving]'' Everything we were running from, she was right there all along…using us for her little war…smiling at us with those knowing eyes… Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted…of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took to torture us all like this. :'''Steven''': It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt. :'''Sapphire''': I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything. :'''Pearl''': You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just never could. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled. :'''Rose''': All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth…none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're ''taking'' life, and leaving nothing behind. :'''Pearl''': Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place. :'''Rose''': No. I needed to see this. :''[scene shifts back to the fountain]'' :'''Steven''': So she ''did'' want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet. :'''Sapphire''': So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself? :'''Pearl''': She ''tried''. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw…your fusion. <hr width=50%/> :'''Pearl''': Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was- :'''Sapphire''': Following us. :'''Pearl''': What? :'''Sapphire''': This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following ''us''. How could she not after you swept her off her feet? ===''What's your Problem''=== ===''The Question''=== ===''Made of Honor''=== :'''Steven''': So, my Dad will finish playing the music, and then next you'll do the "I do"s. And then I'll say… "I now pronounce you Garnet." And then you fuse! Everyone will cheer! :'''Sapphire''': Everyone… who survived. :'''Ruby''': Huh? :'''Sapphire''': Oh, it's just… There's so many old friends who won't be able to come. All the Crystal Gems who were corrupted and bubbled in the basement. :'''Ruby''': Maybe we could bring the bubbles up here? :'''Sapphire''': No, no. It's not safe. We can't risk them getting out. <hr width=50%/> :'''Bismuth''': Hey everyone. Did you guys "Bismi-th" me? :''[Pearl, Sapphire, Ruby and Amethyst drop their sodas simultaneously]'' :'''Peridot''': Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you? :'''Steven''': I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool. :'''Sapphire''': ''[slowly walks up to her]'' Bismuth. ''[hugs her]'' :'''Bismuth''': Whoa, Sapphire! :'''Pearl and Ruby''': Bismuth! ''[tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]'' :'''Sapphire''': You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've- :'''Bismuth''': Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in. :'''Peridot''': So, is anyone going to introduce me? :'''Amethyst''': Let's give 'em some space. ===''Reunited''=== :'''Steven''': Dearly beloved Gems, humans, lions big and small, living gourds, Onion, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire, two of my favorite people, who combine into one of my other favorite people! You all probably know her as Garnet. She's their love, given form. Now it's your turn to talk about that. :'''Ruby''': I know this is all kind of silly, I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years. :'''Sapphire''': And 8 months. :'''Ruby''': I used to feel like I wasn't much good, just one of me on my own. But when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me. So I wanna be me, with you, an-and, not even the Diamonds will come between us. And if they try, we'll beat em up! :'''Sapphire''': Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'til the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated by the smallest force of will. ''[beat]'' What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives. :'''Steven''': Bismuth, the rings. :'''Amethyst''': ''[gently bumps Bismuth]'' Hey Bismuth, that's your cue. :''[Bismuth, touched and crying by the vows, approaches them with the rings]'' :'''Steven''': Ruby, do you take this Gem to have and to hold, on this and every other planet in the universe!? :'''Ruby''': I DO! :'''Steven''': And Sapphire, do you- :'''Sapphire''': Yes. :'''Steven''': ''[whispering]'' You didn't let me finish. :'''Sapphire''': I'm just very excited. :'''Steven''': Then by the power vested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you… Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this. :'''Steven''': I'm so glad. ''[starts tearing up]'' :'''Garnet''': Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry. :'''Steven''': ''[wipes off the tears]'' I guess seeing everyone together got me really choked up. ''[bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes]'' Wait a second. You don't think…? :'''Garnet''': ''[takes off her visor, opening her third eye]'' Blue Diamond! :'''Steven''': She's here?! :'''Garnet''': And she's not alone. :''[The sky darkens quickly and everyone looks up to the sky, seeing Blue and Yellow Diamond's ships approaching]'' :'''Steven''': Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! ''[runs up to Nanefua]'' Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue ''and'' a code yellow! :'''Garnet''': This is it. :''[As the Diamond ships approach the beach, they fly overhead them]'' :'''Peridot''': WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS! :'''Pearl''': Wha- where are they going?! :'''Steven''': If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': What's the Cluster? :'''Steven''': It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I know this sword. This is the sword that '''SHATTERED HER!''' ''[shatters the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion]'' You deserve this-- ''all'' of you! :'''Steven''': Stop, please! :'''Amethyst''': Steven… :'''Pearl''': What do we do? :'''Steven''': I don't know. She won't listen, she just wants to fight! :'''Garnet''': Blue Diamond! :'''Blue Diamond''': Who are you supposed to be? :'''Garnet''': I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now! :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court. :'''Garnet''': This is supposed to be MY day! :'''Blue Diamond''': You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet? :'''Garnet''': I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right. <hr width=50%/> :'''Garnet''': With all our strength together, we can take her down! :'''Steven''': That's right! This is our home, our planet, our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems! :'''Blue Diamond''': Pathetic! You are <big>'''NOTHING!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Peridot''': Ha! I told her off, once. I can do it again. ''[jumps off Bismuth's hands and runs up to Yellow Diamond]'' Hey! Yellow Clod! '''''REMEMBER ME?!''''' :'''Yellow Diamond''': No. ''[zaps and poofs Peridot to her gemstone]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[jumps off Garnet's hands and runs up to the Diamonds]'' Don't do this! Listen to me, ''I'm'' the one you're missing! I'm Pink Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[shocked and angry]'' You! ''[charges towards Steven as he summons his shield]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven! :''[Yellow Diamond stomps her foot on Steven in fury, knocking him out unconsciously]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lapis Lazuli''': What else have you got?! I've only just begun to fight! ''[gets zapped and poofed to her gemstone by Yellow Diamond]'' :'''Steven''': ''[shocked gasp]'' Lapis! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''How miserable. I knew Pink couldn't handle her own colony. But, I gave in. And now, I'm to blame for her fate.'' :'''Steven''': Ah, her thoughts are too strong! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''What good will any of this do? The more I make these Gems suffer, the more I long to see you again, Pink.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': This feeling, I know it! :'''Yellow Diamond''': It must be a trick! Show yourself, foe! :'''Steven''': I'm not your foe. Please, just listen to me! :'''Yellow Diamond''': There! :'''Steven''': ''Please, the fighting has to stop. We aren't enemies. We're family. Please listen to me. I need you to know who I am!!!'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Impossible. :'''Yellow Diamond''': This aura... :'''Blue Diamond''': It's you! Pink! ===''Legs From Here to Homeworld''=== :'''Garnet''': We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer! :'''Bismuth''': She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks he's one of them. :'''Amethyst''': ''[sobbing loudly]'' Somebody make Blue Diamond stop! :'''Connie''': Are you guys okay? :'''Pearl''': It's just… ''[sniffles]'' Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all. :''[Yellow Diamond tries to reactive her ship but fails]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. How could you do this to us, Pink? Why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial?! And Blue, could you please stop crying? I can't see. ''[wipes her tears, splashing the Gems]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': Sorry. ''[sets Steven down]'' :'''Steven''': My mom kept it secret from everyone. :'''Pearl''': Ahem. :'''Steven''': Almost everyone. :'''Yellow Diamond''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven''': Well, apparently, Mom… Oh, geez. You don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then, Rose Quartz gave up ''that'' form to create a new life with my dad-- me. Rose passed her gemstone and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I-I don't have any of Pink ''or'' Rose's memories. I'm sorry. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere, Pink. :'''Steven''': Actually, I go by "Steven." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': We can only do so much, if it was the ''four'' of us. :'''Blue Diamond''': Oh, no. We can't let ''her'' see this! :'''Steven''': Who? Who do we need?! :'''Yellow Diamond''': What do you mean, "who?" White. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' White Diamond? <hr width="50%"/> :''[While traveling to Homeworld]'' :'''Steven''': Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We ''are'' dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems. :'''Pearl''': Steven... :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever ''speaks'' to us again after this. :'''Steven''': But... :'''Blue Diamond''': The thing is, White... can be... ''difficult''. :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And ''we're'' the ones to blame. (''to Steven'') If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let ''me'' do the talking. ===''Familiar''=== :'''Steven''': Pearl! :'''Pearl''': Steven! ''[runs over to Steven and hugs him]'' Oh, thank the stars! You're okay! What did White Diamond do? Did she hurt you? :'''Steven''': No, she was like, "Welcome home." I don't think she understands that I'm not Pink Diamond. Where's Connie? And Garnet and Amethyst? :'''Pearl''': They're still on the ship. ''[summons a hot dog bag]'' I'm only here because I'm bringing your things. And they consider me one of your things. :'''Steven''': Yeesh. :''[Diamond chime plays]'' :'''Pearl''': The Diamond chime -- it's Yellow. :''[The door opens, revealing Yellow Pearl standing right there]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond, my Diamond has requested your presence in the extraction chamber. :'''Pearl''': Let's get you into a suit. ''[opens the bag]'' :''[Steven, wearing his yellow swimsuit, Pearl, and Yellow Pearl walk through a yellow hallway]'' :'''Steven''': Swim trunks don't seem very formal. :'''Pearl''': Trust me, this will be more comfortable than jeans. <hr width="50%"> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Please, call me Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Steven. :'''Steven''': No, just Steven. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Just Steven. :'''Steven''': Call me... Lasagna. :'''Pearl''': Steven, stop. You're going to break her. ''[opens the extraction chamber door]'' :'''Yellow Pearl''': Have a nice extraction, Pink Lasagna. :''[Steven walks into the extraction chamber sauna]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink. :'''Steven''': Hi, Yellow. Cool sauna. :'''Yellow Diamond''': It's new. Have a seat. ''[Steven uses his floating powers to jump up and takes a seat]'' So, you met with White. How was it? :'''Steven''': All I got to say was, "Hi," and, "um," and, "I." :'''Yellow Diamond''': Two and a half words -- that's a record. :'''Steven''': Two and a half words isn't enough. I still need to talk to White about healing all the corrupted Gems! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Hmm. Good luck. White never leaves her own head these days, and she never lets anyone in -- except you, I guess. It's so unfair. I have hundreds of successful crystal system colonies, but you get to see her because your one colony is a failure! :'''Steven''': Maybe you should just… ''fail?'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[looks momentarily shocked, then starts laughing]'' Oh, Pink, you always did have quite a knack for making me laugh. You're almost worth the trouble. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[showing up]'' Pink Diamond, my Diamond was requested your presence. :''[Steven, Pearl, and Blue Pearl walk down a blue hallway]'' :'''Steven''': We barely talked about White at all. She had to rush to do a report, and I couldn't go with her. I get they're, like, busy, 'cause they're dictators and everything, but I need more time! ''[gasps and face-palms]'' I should have asked her what she was doing after the Citron thing! :'''Pearl''': She'll be at that for a while. Yellow Diamond oversees all aspects of Gem production on every single one of her colonies. And when she's not doing that, she's off with her army, conquering the next one. :'''Steven''': What about their days off, weekends? :'''Blue Pearl''': My Diamond is awaiting our arrival. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Pearl''': ''[turns to Pearl]'' Welcome back. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': You're here! Come in. :'''Steven''': Okay! ''[runs and jumps into the pool, laughing]'' Whoo-hoo! (''laughing'') It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit]'' You haven't changed. So silly. So small. :'''Steven''': I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though. :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm so glad you're back... Steven. :'''Steven''': Y-You actually said my name! :'''Blue Diamond''': Steven. Steee-von? (''chuckles'') It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': (''sighs'') This is so weird. Was this some sort of spa day or something? And what about Pink? Did she have a job here, or did she just sit in a room while they were off doing whatever? :'''Pearl''': Before her colony, Pink used to throw massive balls. :'''Steven''': ''[surprised]'' She was a juggler?! :'''Pearl''': No -- Well, yes. But she would also throw parties for the other Diamonds to mark their many accomplishments. Every member of every court would show up to bask in the presence of all four Diamonds. :'''Steven''': Even White would come? :'''Pearl''': Oh, yes! Huh. I wonder what's even become of Pink's court. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ♫ Oh, I'll get them all together in one place / And once we're all together face-to-face / I'll show them all the error of their ways / And stop their spread of terror across space! ♫ <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I figured it out! Remember back when I was little and maybe kind of annoying, and I couldn't come along on adventures? You guys would still drop everything to hang out with me! That's Pink Diamond! I know I can do this! Just watch -- I'm gonna throw a huge ball, and I'm gonna invite everyone! ===''Together Alone''=== :'''Pearl''': The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think? :'''Steven''': It almost feels like home. :'''Garnet''': Almost. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years. :'''Blue Diamond''': We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years! :'''Steven''': Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth! :'''Blue Diamond''': And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3. :'''Yellow Diamond''': You're right, it's brilliant. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue! :'''Blue Diamond''': If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started. :'''Blue Pearl''': At your service, Pink Diamond. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld. :'''Yellow Pearl''': Yes, My Diamond. :'''Pearl''': Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world! :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, party Pearls! :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': We are at your command, Pink Diamond. :'''Steven''': Just call me Steven. :'''Yellow and Blue Pearl''': Whatever you command, Pink Diamond. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too! :'''Amethyst''': Dibs on being the confetti cannon! :'''Yellow Pearl''': Cannons are ''forbidden'' inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Pink Diamond! Your subjects will do the dancing for you! Why would a Diamond want to dance? :'''Steven''': Because dancing's fun! :'''Yellow Pearl''': What is "fun"? :'''Connie''': You know, it's when you do something you wanna do, just because it feels good. :'''Yellow Pearl''': I don't think we do that here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard. :'''Steven''': Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to- :'''Garnet''': I won't go. :'''Steven''': Garnet? :'''Blue Diamond''': At least the Sapphire in there has some sense. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Pearl''': Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Not a bad turnout, Pink. :'''Steven''': I appreciate your attendance, Yellow. :'''Blue Pearl''': Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond. :'''Blue Diamond''': You're doing great. :'''Steven''': Thank you, Blue. :'''White Pearl''': To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to. :'''Steven''': WHAT?! :'''White Pearl''': Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3. :'''Steven''': Gra! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': (''through gritted teeth'') Pink, what are you doing?! :'''Stevonnie''': I was just dancing! (''sees they have fused and everybody else looks in shock'') :'''Blue Diamond''': Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you! :''[Ruby and Sapphire fuse and become Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': You'll have to go through me! :'''Pearl''': (''gasp'') And me! (''Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal'') :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! :''[two jades quickly fuse as well]'' :'''Lemon Jade''': And me! ''[Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs]'' I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one! :''[Yellow Diamond strikes the Jade Fusion, Opal, and Garnet with her lightning powers, causing them all to poof]'' :'''Stevonnie''': Opal! Garnet! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Pink, you've gone too far even for you. ''[picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room]'' Stay in here and think about what you've done! :'''Stevonnie''': No, wait! :''[Yellow Diamond closes the door, ends the episode]'' ===''Escapism''=== :'''Stevonnie''': ''[singing]'' ♫ I guess I have to face, that in this awful place, I shouldn't show a trace... of doubt. / But pulled against the grain, I feel a little pain, that I would rather do... without. / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / I'd rather be free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free... / from here. ♫ ===''Change Your Mind''=== :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window]'' Oh, right -- prison. :''[Blue Diamond enters]'' :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that. :''' Steven''': We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... ''[turns to see that Connie is not present]'' dancing? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blue Diamond''': I cannot believe you -- making a scene like that! :'''Steven''': Whoa -- dejá blue. :'''Connie''': We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance; he wasn't trying to cause trouble! :'''Blue Diamond''': What do you know about this, human? :'''Connie''': ''[chuckles]'' You think I've never been grounded before? :'''Blue Diamond''': "Grounded?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This isn't normal. How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[defensive]'' I didn't, I... and I'm doing it again... aren't I? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': What... are you doing? :'''Steven''': I'm taking back my friends! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed]'' What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower. :'''Blue Diamond''': She prefers to be called "Steven." :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance]'' What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and ''we'' have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone! :'''Connie''': Well, maybe you should! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Take them back to the tower, now! :'''Blue Diamond''': I won't. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Then I'll do it myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': When we thought Pink was shattered, when she abandoned us, I alone was there for you, and you would use your power against <big>'''ME?!'''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Yellow Diamond''': You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?! :'''Blue Diamond''': Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know ''you're'' suffering in silence, too! :''[Yellow Diamond claps her fist and uses her lightning power on Blue, causing her to begin to destabilize and scream]'' :'''Steven''': Stop! ''[pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration]'' You don't have to do this! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire. :'''Steven''': Does ''this'' look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs. :'''Yellow Diamond''': And that means... what? :'''Steven''': It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs. :'''Blue Diamond''': Or our Pink. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Uhh... ''[falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown]'' Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...! :'''Blue Diamond''': I'm not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. ''[to Blue and Yellow; whispers]'' This is it. :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[struggling]'' We... W-we... We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a ''lot'' of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle. :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[steps forward]'' White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. (''gasps'') That won't do. (''blows raspberry'') Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird. :''[Steven and new reformed Pearl unfuse]'' :'''Amethyst''': Wow! Nice form, Pearl. :'''Pearl''': Oh, ''[chuckles]'' thank you. I'm particularly excited about the jacket. Aah! Steven! We fused! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sunstone''': Awwwwwwwwwww yeah! You better step off! Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down. :'''Pearl''': Wow! :'''Amethyst''': Holy... :'''Connie''': All right! :'''Peridot''': Unbelievable! :'''Sunstone''': Oh, you better believe it. :'''Peridot''': Okay! :'''Connie''': Sunstone, what are we gonna do? White Diamond's never going to listen, and she's never going to let us leave. :'''Sunstone''': If she won't listen, we'll ''make'' her listen. :'''Amethyst''': And ''how'' are we gonna do that? :'''Sunstone''': I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind. :'''Everyone''': Right! :'''Sunstone''': Let's take that bully down! ''[to the viewers]'' But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. ''[yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship]'' Ally-oop! ''[summons her suction cups]'' Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': We need to be bigger. :'''Steven''': Then let's fuse. All four of us.

It’s how we get people to do what we want. :''[Adagio motions for her to be quiet]'' :'''Sonata''': What did I say? :'''Adagio''': What you meant to say, was that being in a musical showcase sounds like a great way to meet other students. :'''Sonata''': ''[giggles]'' Oh, yeah, what you said I meant to say, that’s what I meant.

Right. :'''Adagio''': Our voices are just strong enough to make them want something so badly, they’ll fight to get it. :'''Aria''': So, we’re just going to do what we ''always do?'' Stir up some trouble and then feed off the negative energy? Some plan, Adagio. :'''Adagio''': It won’t be the same as the times before!

He also wrote the [[w:Tabaqat-i Nasiri |Tabaqat-i Nasiri ]] for [[w:Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah|Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah]] of Delhi. ==Quotes== *The greater number of inhabitants of that place were Barahmans, and the whole of those Brahmans had their heads shaven, and they were all slain. There were a great number of books there; and when all these books came under the observation of the Musalmans, they summoned a number of Hindus that they might give them information respecting the import of those books; but the whole of the Hindus had been killed. On being acquainted (with the contents of the books), it was found that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindu tongue, they call a college, Bihar [vihara]. **[[w:Minhaj-i-Siraj|Maulana Minhaj-ud-din]], [[w:Tabaqat-i Nasiri|Tabakat-i-Nasiri]], H.G Raverty [trans.], Volume I, Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1881, reprinted by Oriental Books Reprint Corporation, Delhi, 1970, pp. 548–53. quoted in [[Shourie, Arun]] (2014).

They were put to death. Large number of books were found there, and, when the Muhammadans saw them, they called for some persons to explain their contents, but all the men had been killed. It was discovered that the whole fort and city was a place of study. In the Hindi language the word Behar (vihar) means a college". **About Bakhtiyar Khilji conquests in Bihar *Turks of pure lineage and Tajiks of noble birth could not tolerate … the tribes of Hind to rule over them. **Minhaj Jurjani, quoted from K.S.

He led an army to Nahrwalah of Gujarat, and brought away Manat, the [[idol]], from Somnath, and had it broken into four parts, one of which was cast before the entrance of the great Masjid at Ghaznin, the second before the gateway of the Sultan's palace, and the third and fourth were sent to Makkah and Madinah respectively. **Maulana Minhaj-us-Siraj: Tabqat-i-Nasiri, translated into English by Major H.G.

The Almighty graciously gave ear to the prayers…. The nobles and servants of the State were all Turks of pure origin and Taziks of good stock, but ’Imddu-d din was an eunuch and impotent; he, moreover, belonged to one of the tribes of Hindustan. Notwithstanding all this he exercised authority over the heads of all these chiefs [emphasis added]. They were disgusted with this state of affairs and could no longer endure it. They suffered so much from the hands of the bullies who were retained by ’Imadu-d din, that for six months they could not leave their houses, nor could they even go to prayers on Fridays. How was it possible for Turks and Maliks, accustomed to power, rule, and warfare, to remain quiet under such ignominy? **Minhaju-s Siraj, “Tabaqat-i-Nasiri,”, 371. in Sandeep Balakrishna - Invaders and Infidels_ From Sindh to Delhi_ The 500-Year Journey of Islamic Invasions.

There is ground enough for the opinion that all the kingdoms of Europe were, at a remote period, elective, with more or fewer limitations in the objects of choice. But whatever kings might have been here or elsewhere a thousand years ago, or in whatever manner the ruling dynasties of England or France may have begun, the king of Great Britain is, at this day, king by a fixed rule of succession according to the laws of his country; and whilst the legal conditions of the compact of sovereignty are performed by him (as they are performed), he holds his crown in contempt of the choice of the [[w:Revolution Society|Revolution Society]]. **p. 19 *If the ''principles'' of the [[w:Glorious Revolution|Revolution of 1688]] are anywhere to be found, it is in the statute called the ''Declaration of Right''. In that most wise, sober, and considerate declaration, drawn up by great lawyers and great statesmen, and not by warm and inexperienced enthusiasts, not one word is said, nor one suggestion made, of a general right "to choose our own governors, to cashier them for misconduct, and to form a government for ourselves". This Declaration of Right (the [[w:Bill of Rights 1689|act of the 1st of William and Mary, sess. 2, ch. 2]]) is the cornerstone of our constitution as reinforced, explained, improved, and in its fundamental principles for ever settled. It is called, "An Act for declaring the rights and liberties of the subject, and for settling the succession of the crown". You will observe that these rights and this succession are declared in one body and bound indissolubly together. **pp. 21-22 *A few years after this period, a second opportunity offered for asserting a right of election to the crown. On the prospect of a total failure of issue from [[William III of England|King William]], and from the Princess, afterwards [[Anne of Great Britain|Queen Anne]], the consideration of the settlement of the crown and of a further security for the liberties of the people again came before the legislature. Did they this second time make any provision for legalizing the crown on the spurious revolution principles of the [[w:Old Jewry Meeting-house|Old Jewry]]? No. They followed the principles which prevailed in the Declaration of Right, indicating with more precision the persons who were to inherit in the Protestant line. This [[w:Act of Settlement 1701|act]] also incorporated, by the same policy, our liberties and an hereditary succession in the same act. Instead of a right to choose our own governors, they declared that the ''succession'' in that line (the Protestant line drawn from [[James I of England|James the First]]), was absolutely necessary "for the peace, quiet, and security of the realm", and that it was equally urgent on them "to maintain a ''certainty in the succession'' thereof, to which the subjects may safely have recourse for their protection". Both these acts, in which are heard the unerring, unambiguous oracles of revolution policy, instead of countenancing the delusive, gypsey predictions of a "right to choose our governors", prove to a demonstration how totally adverse the wisdom of the nation was from turning a case of necessity into a rule of law. **pp. 22-23 *So far is it from being true that we acquired a right by the Revolution to elect our kings that, if we had possessed it before, the English nation did at that time most solemnly renounce and abdicate it, for themselves and for all their posterity forever. These gentlemen may value themselves as much as they please on their whig principles, but I never desire to be thought a better whig than [[w:John Somers, 1st Baron Somers|Lord Somers]], or to understand the principles of the Revolution better than those, by whom it was brought about, or to read in the Declaration of Right any mysteries unknown to those whose penetrating style has engraved in our ordinances, and in our hearts, the words and spirit of that immortal law. **p. 27 *'''A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.''' **p. 29 *It is common with them to dispute as if they were in a conflict with some of those exploded fanatics of slavery, who formerly maintained what I believe no creature now maintains, "that the crown is held by divine hereditary and indefeasible right".—These old fanatics of single arbitrary power dogmatized as if hereditary royalty was the only lawful government in the world, just as our new fanatics of popular arbitrary power maintain that a popular election is the sole lawful source of authority. **p. 37 *The question of dethroning or, if these gentlemen like the phrase better, "cashiering kings" will always be, as it has always been, an extraordinary question of state, and wholly out of the law; a question (like all other questions of state) of dispositions and of means and of probable consequences rather than of positive rights. As it was not made for common abuses, so it is not to be agitated by common minds. The speculative line of demarcation where obedience ought to end and resistance must begin is faint, obscure, and not easily definable. **p. 43 *The Revolution was made to preserve our ''antient'' indisputable laws and liberties and that ''antient'' constitution of government which is our only security for law and liberty. ... The very idea of the fabrication of a new government is enough to fill us with disgust and horror. We wished at the period of the Revolution, and do now wish, to derive all we possess as ''an inheritance from our forefathers''. Upon that body and stock of inheritance we have taken care not to inoculate any cyon alien to the nature of the original plant. All the reformations we have hitherto made have proceeded upon the principle of reverence to antiquity; and I hope, nay, I am persuaded, that all those which possibly may be made hereafter will be carefully formed upon analogical precedent, authority, and example. **pp. 44-45 *Our oldest reformation is that of [[w:Magna Carta|Magna Charta]]. You will see that Sir [[Edward Coke]], that great oracle of our law, and indeed all the great men who follow him, to [[William Blackstone|Blackstone]], are industrious to prove the pedigree of our liberties. They endeavour to prove that the ancient charter, the Magna Charta of [[w:John of England|King John]], was connected with another positive [[w:Charter of Liberties|charter]] from [[w:Henry I of England|Henry I]], and that both the one and the other were nothing more than a re-affirmance of the still more ancient standing law of the kingdom. ... In the famous law of the 3rd of [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], called the ''[[w:Petition of Right|Petition of Right]]'', the parliament says to the king, "Your subjects have ''inherited'' this freedom", claiming their franchises not on abstract principles "as the rights of men", but as the rights of Englishmen, and as a patrimony derived from their forefathers. **pp. 45-46 *You will observe that from Magna Charta to the Declaration of Right it has been the uniform policy of our constitution to claim and assert our liberties as an ''entailed inheritance'' derived to us from our forefathers, and to be transmitted to our posterity. ... This policy appears to me to be the result of profound reflection, or rather the happy effect of following nature, which is wisdom without reflection, and above it. A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. '''People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.''' ... By adhering in this manner and on those principles to our forefathers, we are guided not by the superstition of antiquarians, but by the spirit of philosophic analogy. In this choice of inheritance we have given to our frame of polity the image of a relation in blood, binding up the constitution of our country with our dearest domestic ties, adopting our fundamental laws into the bosom of our family affections, keeping inseparable and cherishing with the warmth of all their combined and mutually reflected charities our state, our hearths, our sepulchres, and our altars. **pp. 47-49 *Through the same plan of a conformity to nature in our artificial institutions, and by calling in the aid of her unerring and powerful instincts to fortify the fallible and feeble contrivances of our reason, we have derived several other, and those no small, benefits from considering our liberties in the light of an inheritance. '''Always acting as if in the presence of canonized forefathers, the spirit of freedom, leading in itself to misrule and excess, is tempered with an awful gravity.''' This idea of a liberal descent inspires us with a sense of habitual native dignity, which prevents that upstart insolence almost inevitably adhering to and disgracing those who are the first acquirers of any distinction. By this means our liberty becomes a noble freedom. It carries an imposing and majestic aspect. It has a pedigree and illustrating ancestors. It has its bearings and its ensigns armorial. It has its gallery of portraits, its monumental inscriptions, its records, evidences, and titles. We procure reverence to our civil institutions on the principle upon which nature teaches us to revere individual men: on account of their age and on account of those from whom they are descended. All your sophisters cannot produce anything better adapted to preserve a rational and manly freedom than the course that we have pursued, who have chosen our nature rather than our speculations, our breasts rather than our inventions, for the great conservatories and magazines of our rights and privileges. **pp. 49-50 *You had all these advantages in your antient states; but you chose to act as if you had never been moulded into civil society, and had every thing to begin anew. You began ill, because you began by despising every thing that belonged to you. You set up your trade without a capital. If the last generations of your country appeared without much lustre in your eyes, you might have passed them by and derived your claims from a more early race of ancestors. Under a pious predilection to those ancestors, your imaginations would have realized in them a standard of virtue and wisdom, beyond the vulgar practice of the hour: and you would have risen with the example to whose imitation you aspired. Respecting your forefathers, you would have been taught to respect yourselves. You would not have chosen to consider the French as a people of yesterday, as a nation of low-born servile wretches until the emancipating year of 1789. **pp. 51-52 *To be attached to the subdivision, to love the little platoon we belong to in society, is the first principle (the germ as it were) of public affections. It is the first link in the series by which we proceed toward a love to our country and to mankind. **pp. 68-69 *Believe me, Sir, those who attempt to level, never equalize. In all societies, consisting of various descriptions of citizens, some description must be uppermost. The levellers, therefore, only change and pervert the natural order of things; they load the edifice of society by setting up in the air what the solidity of the structure requires to be on the ground. **p. 72 *The Chancellor of France, at the opening of the states, said, in a tone of oratorical flourish, that all occupations were honourable. If he meant only that no honest employment was disgraceful, he would not have gone beyond the truth. But in asserting that anything is honourable, we imply some distinction in its favour. The occupation of a hairdresser or of a working tallow-chandler cannot be a matter of honour to any person—to say nothing of a number of other more servile employments. Such descriptions of men ought not to suffer oppression from the state; but the state suffers oppression if such as they, either individually or collectively, are permitted to rule. '''In this you think you are combating prejudice, but you are at war with nature.''' **pp. 72-73 *...property is sluggish, inert, and timid. **p. 75 *It is said that twenty-four millions ought to prevail over two hundred thousand. True; if the constitution of a kingdom be a problem of arithmetic. This sort of discourse does well enough with the [[w:À la lanterne|lamp-post]] for its second; to men who ''may'' reason calmly, it is ridiculous. The will of the many, and their interest, must very often differ, and great will be the difference when they make an evil choice. A government of five hundred country attornies and obscure curates is not good for twenty-four millions of men, though it were chosen by eight and forty millions, nor is it the better for being guided by a dozen of persons of quality who have betrayed their trust in order to obtain that power. At present, you seem in everything to have strayed out of the high road of nature. The property of France does not govern it. Of course, property is destroyed and rational liberty has no existence. **pp. 76-77 *Before I read [[w:A Discourse on the Love of Our Country|that sermon]], I really thought I had lived in a free country; and it was an error I cherished, because it gave me a greater liking to the country I lived in. I was, indeed, aware that a jealous, ever-waking vigilance to guard the treasure of our liberty, not only from invasion, but from decay and corruption, was our best wisdom and our first duty. However, I considered that treasure rather as a possession to be secured than as a prize to be contended for. **p. 79 *What is that cause of liberty, and what are those exertions in its favour to which the example of France is so singularly auspicious? Is our monarchy to be annihilated, with all the laws, all the tribunals, and all the antient corporations of the kingdom? Is every landmark of the country to be done away in favour of a geometrical and arithmetical constitution? Is the House of Lords to be voted useless? Is episcopacy to be abolished? Are the church lands to be sold to Jews and jobbers or given to bribe new-invented municipal republics into a participation in sacrilege? ... Are all orders, ranks, and distinctions to be confounded, that out of universal anarchy, joined to national bankruptcy, three or four thousand democracies should be formed into eighty-three, and that they may all, by some sort of unknown attractive power, be organized into one? **pp. 80-81 *[[Richard Price|Dr. Price]] considers this inadequacy of representation as our fundamental grievance... To this he subjoins a note in these words:—"A representation chosen chiefly by the Treasury, and a few thousands of the dregs of the people, who are generally paid for their votes." You will smile here at the consistency of those democratists who, when they are not on their guard, treat the humbler part of the community with the greatest contempt, whilst, at the same time, they pretend to make them the depositories of all power. **pp. 82-83 *It is no wonder...that with these ideas of everything in their constitution and government at home, either in church or state, as illegitimate and usurped, or at best as a vain mockery, they look abroad with an eager and passionate enthusiasm. Whilst they are possessed by these notions, it is vain to talk to them of the practice of their ancestors, the fundamental laws of their country, the fixed form of a constitution whose merits are confirmed by the solid test of long experience and an increasing public strength and national prosperity. They despise experience as the wisdom of unlettered men; and as for the rest, they have wrought underground a mine that will blow up, at one grand explosion, all examples of antiquity, all precedents, charters, and acts of parliament. They have "the rights of men". **pp. 85-86 *Far am I from denying in theory...the ''real'' rights of men. In denying their false claims of right, I do not mean to injure those which are real, and are such as their pretended rights would totally destroy. ... They have a right to the fruits of their industry and to the means of making their industry fruitful. They have a right to the acquisitions of their parents, to the nourishment and improvement of their offspring, to instruction in life, and to consolation in death. Whatever each man can separately do, without trespassing upon others, he has a right to do for himself; and he has a right to a fair portion of all which society, with all its combinations of skill and force, can do in his favour. In this partnership all men have equal rights, but not to equal things. He that has but five shillings in the partnership has as good a right to it as he that has five hundred pounds has to his larger proportion. But he has not a right to an equal dividend in the product of the joint stock; and as to the share of power, authority, and direction which each individual ought to have in the management of the state, that I must deny to be amongst the direct original rights of man in civil society; for I have in my contemplation the civil social man, and no other. It is a thing to be settled by convention. **pp. 86-87 *The moment you abate anything from the full rights of men, each to govern himself, and suffer any artificial, positive limitation upon those rights, from that moment the whole organization of government becomes a consideration of convenience. This it is which makes the constitution of a state and the due distribution of its powers a matter of the most delicate and complicated skill. It requires a deep knowledge of human nature and human necessities, and of the things which facilitate or obstruct the various ends which are to be pursued by the mechanism of civil institutions. The state is to have recruits to its strength, and remedies to its distempers. What is the use of discussing a man's abstract right to food or medicine? The question is upon the method of procuring and administering them. In that deliberation I shall always advise to call in the aid of the farmer and the physician rather than the professor of metaphysics. **p. 90 *It is with them a war or a revolution, or it is nothing. ... They have some change in the church or state, or both, constantly in their view. ... This sort of people are so taken up with their theories about the rights of man that they have totally forgotten his nature. **pp. 94-95 *Humanity and compassion are ridiculed as the fruits of superstition and ignorance. Tenderness to individuals is considered as treason to the public. Liberty is always to be estimated perfect, as property is rendered insecure. '''Amidst assassination, massacre, and confiscation, perpetrated or meditated, they are forming plans for the good order of future society.''' **p. 102 *This king, to say no more of him, and this queen, and their infant children (who once would have been the pride and hope of a great and generous people) were then forced to abandon the sanctuary of the most splendid palace in the world, which they left swimming in blood, polluted by massacre and strewed with scattered limbs and mutilated carcasses. Thence they were conducted into the capital of their kingdom. Two had been selected from the unprovoked, unresisted, promiscuous slaughter, which was made of the gentlemen of birth and family who composed the king's body guard. These two gentlemen, with all the parade of an execution of justice, were cruelly and publicly dragged to the block and beheaded in the great court of the palace. '''Their heads were stuck upon spears and led the procession, whilst the royal captives who followed in the train were slowly moved along, amidst the horrid yells, and shrilling screams, and frantic dances, and infamous contumelies, and all the unutterable abominations of the furies of hell in the abused shape of the vilest of women.''' After they had been made to taste, drop by drop, more than the bitterness of death in the slow torture of a journey of twelve miles, protracted to six hours, they were, under a guard composed of those very soldiers who had thus conducted them through this famous triumph, lodged in one of the old palaces of Paris, now converted into a bastille for kings. Is this a triumph to be consecrated at altars? to be commemorated with grateful thanksgiving? to be offered to the divine humanity with fervent prayer and enthusiastic ejaculation? **pp. 106-107 *Although this work of our new light and knowledge, did not go to the length, that in all probability it was intended it should be carried; yet I must think, that such treatment of any human creatures must be shocking to any but those who are made for accomplishing revolutions. But I cannot stop here. Influenced by the inborn feelings of my nature, and not being illuminated by a single ray of this new-sprung modern light, I confess to you, Sir, that the exalted rank of the persons suffering, and particularly the sex, the beauty, and the amiable qualities of the descendant of so many kings and emperors, with the tender age of royal infants, insensible only through infancy and innocence of the cruel outrages to which their parents were exposed, instead of being a subject of exultation, adds not a little to any sensibility on that most melancholy occasion. **pp. 110-111 *It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the [[Marie Antoinette|queen of France]], then the dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she just began to move in,—glittering like the morning star, full of life and splendor, and joy. '''Oh! what a revolution! and what a heart must I have, to contemplate without emotion that elevation and that fall!''' Little did I dream when she added titles of veneration to those of enthusiastic, distant, respectful love, that she should ever be obliged to carry the sharp antidote against disgrace concealed in that bosom; little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honour and of cavaliers. I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. '''But the age of chivalry is gone.—That of sophisters, economists; and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.''' Never, never more shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obedience, that subordination of the heart which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted freedom. The unbought grace of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise, is gone! It is gone, that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound, which inspired courage whilst it mitigated ferocity, which ennobled whatever it touched, and under which vice itself lost half its evil by losing all its grossness. **pp. 112-113 *There ought to be a system of manners in every nation which a well-informed mind would be disposed to relish. '''To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.''' **pp. 115-116 *Nothing is more certain than that our manners, our civilization, and all the good things which are connected with manners and with civilization have, in this European world of ours, depended for ages upon two principles and were, indeed, the result of both combined: I mean the spirit of a gentleman and the spirit of religion. The nobility and the clergy, the one by profession, the other by patronage, kept learning in existence, even in the midst of arms and confusions, and whilst governments were rather in their causes than formed. Learning paid back what it received to nobility and to priesthood, and paid it with usury, by enlarging their ideas and by furnishing their minds. Happy if they had all continued to know their indissoluble union and their proper place! Happy if learning, not debauched by ambition, had been satisfied to continue the instructor, and not aspired to be the master! Along with its natural protectors and guardians, learning will be cast into the mire and trodden down under the hoofs of '''a swinish multitude.''' **p. 117 *France has always more or less influenced manners in England. ... Excuse me, therefore, if I have dwelt too long on the atrocious spectacle of the sixth of October 1789, or have given too much scope to the reflexions which have arisen in my mind on occasion of the most important of all revolutions, which may be dated from that day, I mean '''a revolution in sentiments, manners, and moral opinions.''' **pp. 118-119 *...the theatre is a better school of moral sentiments than churches, where the feelings of humanity are thus outraged. Poets who have to deal with an audience not yet graduated in the school of the rights of men and who must apply themselves to the moral constitution of the heart would not dare to produce such a triumph as a matter of exultation. ... No theatric audience in Athens would bear what has been borne in the midst of the real tragedy of this triumphal day. ... They would not bear to see the crimes of new democracy posted as in a ledger against the crimes of old despotism, and the book-keepers of politics finding democracy still in debt, but by no means unable or unwilling to pay the balance. ... They would soon see that criminal means once tolerated are soon preferred. They present a shorter cut to the object than through the highway of the moral virtues. Justifying perfidy and murder for public benefit, public benefit would soon become the pretext, and perfidy and murder the end, until rapacity, malice, revenge, and fear more dreadful than revenge could satiate their insatiable appetites. Such must be the consequences of losing, in the splendour of these triumphs of the rights of men, all natural sense of wrong and right. **pp. 120-121 *The punishment of real tyrants is a noble and awful act of justice; and it has with truth been said to be consolatory to the human mind. **p. 123 *The vanity, restlessness, petulance, and spirit of intrigue, of several petty cabals, who attempt to hide their total want of consequence in bustle and noise, and puffing, and mutual quotation of each other, makes you imagine that our contemptuous neglect of their abilities is a mark of general acquiescence in their opinions. No such thing, I assure you. '''Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine, that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field'''; that, of course, they are many in number, or that, after all, they are other than the little, shrivelled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour. **pp. 126-127 *I almost venture to affirm that not one in a hundred amongst us participates in the "triumph" of the Revolution Society. If the king and queen of France, and their children, were to fall into our hands by the chance of war, in the most acrimonious of all hostilities (I deprecate such an event, I deprecate such hostility), they would be treated with another sort of triumphal entry into London. We formerly have had a [[w:John II of France|king of France]] in that situation; you have [[w:Froissart's Chronicles|read]] how he was treated by the victor in the field; and in what manner he was afterwards received in England. Four hundred years have gone over us; but I believe we are not materially changed since that period. Thanks to our sullen resistance to innovation, thanks to the cold sluggishness of our national character, we still bear the stamp of our forefathers. We have not (as I conceive) lost the generosity and dignity of thinking of the fourteenth century, nor as yet have we subtilized ourselves into savages. We are not the converts of [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau|Rousseau]]; we are not the disciples of [[Voltaire]]; [[Claude Adrien Helvétius|Helvetius]] has made no progress amongst us. Atheists are not our preachers; madmen are not our lawgivers. We know that ''we'' have made no discoveries, and we think that no discoveries are to be made in morality; nor many in the great principles of government, nor in the ideas of liberty, which were understood long before we were born, altogether as well as they will be after the grace has heaped its mould upon our presumption and the silent tomb shall have imposed its law on our pert loquacity. **pp. 127-128 *In England we have not yet been completely embowelled of our natural entrails; we still feel within us, and we cherish and cultivate, those inbred sentiments which are the faithful guardians, the active monitors of our duty, the true supporters of all liberal and manly morals. We have not been drawn and trussed, in order that we may be filled, like stuffed birds in a museum, with chaff and rags and paltry blurred shreds of paper about the rights of men. We preserve the whole of our feelings still native and entire, unsophisticated by pedantry and infidelity. We have real hearts of flesh and blood beating in our bosoms. '''We fear God; we look up with awe to kings, with affection to parliaments, with duty to magistrates, with reverence to priests, and with respect to nobility. Why? Because when such ideas are brought before our minds, it is ''natural'' to be so affected'''; because all other feelings are false and spurious and tend to corrupt our minds, to vitiate our primary morals, to render us unfit for rational liberty, and, by teaching us a servile, licentious, and abandoned insolence, to be our low sport for a few holidays, to make us perfectly fit for, and justly deserving of slavery, through the whole course of our lives. **pp. 128-129 *You see, Sir, that in this enlightened age I am bold enough to confess, that we are generally men of untaught feelings; that instead of casting away all our old prejudices, we cherish them to a very considerable degree, and, to take more shame to ourselves, we cherish them because they are prejudices; and the longer they have lasted and the more generally they have prevailed, the more we cherish them. We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason; because we suspect that this stock in each man is small, and that the individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations, and of ages. Many of our men of speculation, instead of exploding general prejudices, employ their sagacity to discover the latent wisdom which prevails in them. If they find what they seek, and they seldom fail, they think it more wise to continue the prejudice, with the reason involved, than to cast away the coat of prejudice and to leave nothing but the naked reason; because prejudice, with its reason, has a motive to give action to that reason, and an affection which will give it permanence. '''Prejudice is of ready application in the emergency; it previously engages the mind in a steady course of wisdom and virtue and does not leave the man hesitating in the moment of decision sceptical, puzzled, and unresolved. Prejudice renders a man's virtue his habit, and not a series of unconnected acts. Through just prejudice, his duty becomes a part of his nature.''' **pp. 129-130 *Who now reads [[Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke|Bolingbroke]]? Who ever read him through? **p. 133 *We know, and what is better, we feel inwardly, that religion is the basis of civil society, and the source of all good and of all comfort. ... We know, and it is our pride to know, that '''man is by his constitution a religious animal'''; that atheism is against, not only our reason, but our instincts; and that it cannot prevail long. But if, in the moment of riot and in a drunken delirium from the hot spirit drawn out of the alembic of hell, which in France is now so furiously boiling, we should uncover our nakedness by throwing off that Christian religion which has hitherto been our boast and comfort, and one great source of civilization amongst us and amongst many other nations, we are apprehensive (being well aware that the mind will not endure a void) that some uncouth, pernicious, and degrading superstition might take place of it. **pp. 134-135 *I beg leave to speak of our church establishment, which is the first of our prejudices, not a prejudice destitute of reason, but involving in it profound and extensive wisdom. I speak of it first. It is first, and last, and midst in our minds. For, taking ground on that religious system of which we are now in possession, we continue to act on the early received and uniformly continued sense of mankind. That sense not only, like a wise architect, hath built up the august fabric of states, but, like a provident proprietor, to preserve the structure from profanation and ruin, as a sacred temple purged from all the impurities of fraud and violence and injustice and tyranny, hath solemnly and forever consecrated the commonwealth and all that officiate in it. This consecration is made that all who administer the government of men, in which they stand in the person of God himself, should have high and worthy notions of their function and destination, that their hope should be full of immortality, that they should not look to the paltry pelf of the moment nor to the temporary and transient praise of the vulgar, but to a solid, permanent existence in the permanent part of their nature, and to a permanent fame and glory in the example they leave as a rich inheritance to the world. **pp. 136-137 *The consecration of the state by a state religious establishment is necessary also to operate with a wholesome awe upon free citizens; because, in order to secure their freedom, they must enjoy some determinate portion of power. To them therefore a religion connected with the state, and with their duty towards it, becomes even more necessary than in such societies, where the people by the terms of their subjection are confined to private sentiments, and the management of their own family concerns. '''All persons possessing any portion of power ought to be strongly and awfully impressed with an idea that they act in trust; and that they are to account for their conduct in that trust to the one great master, author and founder of society.''' **pp. 137-138 *'''A perfect democracy is, therefore, the most shameless thing in the world.''' As it is the most shameless, it is also the most fearless. No man apprehends in his person that he can be made subject to punishment. Certainly the people at large never ought: for as all punishments are for example toward the conservation of the people at large, the people at large can never become the subject of punishment by any human hand. It is therefore of infinite importance that they should not be suffered to imagine that their will, any more than that of kings, is the standard of right and wrong. **p. 139 *But one of the first and most leading principles on which the commonwealth and the laws are consecrated, is lest the temporary possessors and life-renters in it, unmindful of what they have received from their ancestors, or of what is due to their posterity, should act as if they were the entire masters; that they should not think it among their rights to cut off the entail, or commit waste on the inheritance, by destroying at their pleasure the whole original fabric of their society; hazarding to leave to those who come after them a ruin instead of an habitation—and teaching these successors as little to respect their contrivances, as they had themselves respected the institutions of their forefathers. By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer. **p. 141 *Who would insure a tender and delicate sense of honour to beat almost with the first pulses of the heart, when no man could know what would be the test of honour in a nation, continually varying the standard of its coin? No part of life would retain its acquisitions. Barbarism with regard to science and literature, unskilfulness with regard to arts and manufactures, would infallibly succeed to the want of a steady education and settled principle; and thus the commonwealth itself would, in a few generations, crumble away, be disconnected into the dust and powder of individuality, and at length dispersed to all the winds of heaven. **pp. 142-43 *To avoid therefore the evils of inconstancy and versatility, ten thousand times worse than those of obstinacy and the blindest prejudice, we have consecrated the state, that no man should approach to look into its defects or corruptions but with due caution; that he should never dream of beginning its reformation by its subversion; that he should approach to the faults of the state as to the wounds of a father, with pious awe and trembling solicitude. By this wise prejudice we are taught to look with horror on those children of their country who are prompt rashly to hack that aged parent in pieces, and put him into the kettle of magicians, in hopes that by their poisonous weeds, and wild incantations, they may regenerate the paternal constitution, and renovate their father's life. **p. 143 *Society is indeed a contract. Subordinate contracts for objects of mere occasional interest may be dissolved at pleasure—but the state ought not to be considered as nothing better than a partnership agreement in a trade of pepper and coffee, calico or tobacco, or some other such low concern, to be taken up for a little temporary interest, and to be dissolved by the fancy of the parties. It is to be looked on with other reverence; because it is not a partnership in things subservient only to the gross animal existence of a temporary and perishable nature. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. **pp. 143-144 *I give you opinions which have been accepted amongst us, from very early times to this moment, with a continued and general approbation, and which indeed are worked into my mind, that I am unable to distinguish what I have learned from others from the results of my own meditation. It is on some such principles that the majority of the people of England, far from thinking a religious, national establishment unlawful, hardly think it lawful to be without one. In France you are wholly mistaken if you do not believe us above all other things attached to it, and beyond all other nations. ... This principle runs through the whole system of their polity. They do not consider their church establishment as convenient, but as essential to their state, not as a thing heterogeneous and separable, something added for accommodation; what they may either keep or lay aside, according to their temporary ideas of convenience. They consider it as the foundation of their whole constitution, with which, and with every part of which, it holds an indissoluble union. Church and state are ideas inseparable in their minds, and scarcely is the one ever mentioned without mentioning the other. **pp. 147-148 *The arguments of tyranny are as contemptible as its force is dreadful. **p. 159 *The enemies to property at first pretended a most tender, delicate, and scrupulous anxiety for keeping the king's engagements with the public creditor. These professors of the rights of men are so busy in teaching others, that they have not leisure to learn anything themselves; otherwise they would have known that '''it is to the property of the citizen, and not to the demands of the creditor of the state, that the first and original faith of civil society is pledged. The claim of the citizen is prior in time, paramount in title, superior in equity.''' The fortunes of individuals, whether possessed by acquisition or by descent or in virtue of a participation in the goods of some community, were no part of the creditor's security, expressed or implied. **p. 160 *'''The literary cabal had some years ago formed something like a regular plan for the destruction of the Christian religion.''' This object they pursued with a degree of zeal which hitherto had been discovered only in the propagators of some system of piety. They were possessed with a spirit of proselytism in the most fanatical degree; and from thence, by an easy progress, with the spirit of persecution according to their means. **p. 165 *These Atheistical fathers have a bigotry of their own; and they have learned to talk against monks with the spirit of a monk. But in some things they are men of the world. The resources of intrigue are called in to supply the defects of argument and wit. To this system of literary monopoly was joined an unremitting industry to blacken and discredit in every way, and by every means, all those who did not hold to their faction. To those who have observed the spirit of their conduct, it has long been clear that nothing was wanted but the power of carrying the intolerance of the tongue and of the pen into a persecution which would strike at property, liberty, and life. **p. 166 *Even the clergy are to receive their miserable allowance out of the depreciated paper which is stamped with the indelible character of sacrilege, and with the symbols of their own ruin, or they must starve. So violent an outrage upon credit, property, and liberty, as this compulsory paper currency, has seldom been exhibited by the alliance of bankruptcy and tyranny, at any time, or in any nation. **p. 182 *...all the frauds, impostures, violences, rapines, burnings, murders, confiscations, compulsory paper currencies, and every description of tyranny and cruelty employed to bring about and to uphold this Revolution have their natural effect, that is, to shock the moral sentiments of all virtuous and sober minds. **p. 183 *I reprobate no form of government merely upon abstract principles. There may be situations in which the purely democratic form will become necessary. There may be some (very few, and very particularly circumstanced) where it would be clearly desirable. This I do not take to be the case of France, or of any other great country. Until now, we have seen no examples of considerable democracies. The antients were better acquainted with them. Not being wholly unread in the authors, who had seen the most of those constitutions, and who best understood them, I cannot help concurring with their opinion, that an absolute democracy, no more than absolute monarchy, is to be reckoned among the legitimate forms of government. They think it rather the corruption and degeneracy, than the sound constitution of a republic. If I recollect rightly, [[Aristotle]] observes, that a democracy has many striking points of resemblance with a tyranny. Of this I am certain, that in a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority, whenever strong divisions prevail in that kind of polity, as they often must; and that oppression of the minority will extend to far greater numbers, and will be carried on with much greater fury, than can almost ever be apprehended from the dominion of a single sceptre. **pp. 185-186 *Along with much evil, there is some good in monarchy itself; and some corrective to its evil, from religion, from laws, from manners, from opinions, the French monarchy must have received; which rendered it (though by no means a free, and therefore by no means a good constitution) a despotism rather in appearance than in reality. **p. 189 *I see the National Assembly openly reprobate the doctrine of prescription, which [[w:Jean Domat|one of the greatest of their own lawyers]] tells us, with great truth, is a part of the law of nature. He tells us, that the positive ascertainment of its limits, and its security from invasion, were among the causes for which civil society itself has been instituted. If prescription be once shaken, no species of property is secure, when it once becomes an object large enough to tempt the cupidity of indigent power. ... Flushed with the insolence of their first inglorious victories, and pressed by the distresses caused by their lust of unhallowed lucre, disappointed but not discouraged, they have at length ventured completely to subvert all property of all descriptions throughout the extent of a great kingdom. **p. 223 *Many parts of Europe are in open disorder. In many others there is a hollow murmuring under ground; a confused movement is felt, that threatens a general earthquake in the political world. Already confederacies and correspondences of the most extraordinary nature are forming in several countries. In such a state of things we ought to hold ourselves upon our guard. **p. 229 *A man full of warm speculative benevolence may wish his society otherwise constituted than he finds it; but a good patriot, and a true politician, always considers how he shall make the most of the existing materials of his country. '''A disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a statesman.''' Everything else is vulgar in the conception, perilous in the execution. **p. 231 *Superstition is the religion of feeble minds. ... The body of all true religion consists, to be sure, in obedience to the will of the sovereign of the world; in a confidence in his declarations; and an imitation of his perfections. The rest is our own. **p. 234 *Rage and phrenzy will pull down more in half an hour than prudence, deliberation, and foresight can build up in a hundred years. **p. 247 *It is impossible not to observe, that in the spirit of this geometrical distribution, and arithmetical arrangement, these pretended citizens treat France exactly like a country of conquest. Acting as conquerors, they have imitated the policy of the harshest of that harsh race. The policy of such barbarous victors, who contemn a subdued people, and insult their feelings, has ever been, as much as in them lay, to destroy all vestiges of the antient country, in religion, in polity, in laws, and in manners; to confound all territorial limits; to produce a general poverty; to put up their properties to auction; to crush their princes, nobles, and pontiffs; to lay low everything which had lifted its head above the level, or which could serve to combine or rally, in their distresses, the disbanded people under the standard of old opinion. **p. 266 *It is boasted, that the geometrical policy has been adopted, that all local ideas should be sunk, and that the people should no longer be Gascons, Picards, Bretons, Normans, but Frenchmen, with one country, one heart, and one Assembly. But instead of being all Frenchmen, the greater likelihood is that the inhabitants of that region will shortly have no country. No man ever was attached by a sense of pride, partiality, or real affection, to a description of square measurement. He never will glory in belonging to the Checquer, No. 71, or to any other badge-ticket. We begin our public affections in our families. No cold relation is a zealous citizen. We pass on to our neighbourhoods, and our habitual provincial connections. These are inns and resting places. Such divisions of our country as have been formed by habit, and not by a sudden jerk of authority, were so many little images of the great country in which the heart found something which it could fill. The love to the whole is not extinguished by this subordinate partiality. Perhaps it is a sort of elemental training to those higher and more large regards by which alone men come to be affected, as with their own concern, in the prosperity of a kingdom so extensive as that of France. In that general territory itself, as in the old name of provinces, the citizens are interested from old prejudices and unreasoned habits, and not on account of the geometric properties of its figure. **pp. 285-286 *In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things. But the moment in which that event shall happen, the person who really commands the army is your master; the master (that is little) of your king, the master of your Assembly, the master of your whole republic. **pp. 317-318 *Every thing depends upon the army in such a government as yours; for you have industriously destroyed all the opinions, and prejudices, and, as far as in you lay, all the instincts which support government. Therefore, the moment any difference arises between your National Assembly and any part of the nation, you must have recourse to force. Nothing else is left to you; or rather you have left nothing else to yourselves. ... The colonies assert to themselves an independent constitution and a free trade. They must be constrained by troops. In what chapter of your code of the rights of men are they able to read that it is a part of the rights of men to have their commerce monopolized and restrained for the benefit of others? As the colonists rise on you, the negroes rise on them. Troops again—'''Massacre, torture, hanging! These are your rights of men!''' These are the fruits of metaphysic declarations wantonly made, and shamefully retracted! **pp. 320-321 *You lay down metaphysic propositions which infer universal consequences, and then you attempt to limit logic by despotism. **p. 321 *The people of Lyons, it seems, have refused lately to pay taxes. ... To this the answer is, We will send troops. The last reason of kings, is always the first with your Assembly. **pp. 326-327 *Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government. **p. 333 *But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. **p. 352 *To give freedom is still more easy. It is not necessary to guide; it only requires to let go the rein. But to form a ''free government''; that is, to temper together these opposite elements of liberty and restraint in one consistent work, requires much thought, deep reflection, a sagacious, powerful, and combining mind. This I do not find in those who take the lead in the National Assembly. **p. 353 *I wish my countrymen rather to recommend to our neighbours the example of the British constitution, than to take models from them for the improvement of our own. In the former, they have got an invaluable treasure. They are not, I think, without some causes of apprehension and complaint; but these they do not owe to their constitution, but to their own conduct. I think our happy situation owing to our constitution; but owing to the whole of it; and not to any part singly; owing in a great measure to what we have left standing in our several reviews and reformations, as well as to what we have altered or superadded. Our people will find employment enough for a truly patriotic, free, and independent spirit, in guarding what they possess, from violation. I would not exclude alteration neither; but even when I changed, it should be to preserve. I should be led to my remedy by a great grievance. In what I did, I should follow the example of our ancestors. I would make the reparation as nearly as possible in the style of the building. A politic caution, a guarded circumspection, a moral rather than a complexional timidity were among the ruling principles of our forefathers in their most decided conduct. Not being illuminated with the light of which the gentlemen of France tell us they have got so abundant a share, they acted under a strong impression of the ignorance and fallibility of mankind. He that had made them thus fallible, rewarded them for having in their conduct attended to their nature. Let us imitate their caution, if we wish to deserve their fortune, or to retain their bequests. Let us add, if we please, but let us preserve what they have left; and, standing on the firm ground of the British constitution, let us be satisfied to admire rather than attempt to follow in their desperate flights the aeronauts of France. **pp. 354-355 *I have little to recommend my opinions, but long observation and much impartiality. They come from one who has been no tool of power, no flatterer of greatness; and who in his last acts does not wish to belye the tenor of his life. They come from one, almost the whole of whose public exertion has been a struggle for the liberty of others. **p. 356 ==Quotes about the ''Reflections on the Revolution in France''== *I own myself entirely of Mrs. Montagu's opinion about Mr. Burke's book; it is the noblest, deepest, most animated, and exalted work that I think I have ever read. **[[Frances Burney]] (23 November 1790), quoted in ''Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay: Vol. V. 1789-1793'' (1842), p. 170 *I have this moment finished the gospel of St. Edmund, which your enthusiastic encomium had given me additional curiosity to read. As to style, he, like [[William Shakespeare|Shakspeare]], touches the double octave from the sublime to the bathos. In many passages he is divinely eloquent; in some his wit is clean and brilliant, and his quotations remarkably lucky. His argument, with few exceptions, in my opinion, unanswerable. His work, with all its faults, does him the highest honour as an author, as a statesman, and as a moralist. It will do infinite good in France if it were possible to get it read there; but what is of far greater moment to us, it will do infinite service to us at home, in shewing us the danger of metaphysical speculations, and warning us not to go a-whoring after new inventions. **[[w:Thomas Pitt, 1st Baron Camelford|Lord Camelford]] to George Hardinge (19 November 1790), quoted in John Nichols, ''Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century. Consisting of Authentic Memoirs and Original Letters of Eminent Persons; and intended as a sequel to the Literary Anecdotes, Volume VI'' (1831), p. 122 *Mr. Burke—no mean authority—published a book on the French Revolution, almost every sentence of which, however canvassed and disputed at the time, has been justified by the course of subsequent events; and almost every prophecy has been strictly fulfilled. **[[George Canning]], [https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1826/feb/13/bank-charter-and-promissory-notes-acts#column_323 speech] in the House of Commons (13 February 1826) *Every word should be printed in gold and I trust it will expose the vices and follies of dangerous Mad men. **[[w:James Duff, 2nd Earl Fife|Lord Fife]] to William Rose (25 November 1790), quoted in ''Lord Fife and His Factor'', ed. Alistair and Henrietta Tayler (1925), p. 221 *I know that there is no Man who calls himself a Gentleman that must not think himself obliged to you, for you have supported the cause of the Gentlemen. **[[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]] to Burke at a levee (3 February 1791), quoted in Alfred Cobban and Robert A. Smith (eds.), ''The Correspondence of Edmund Burke, Volume VI: July 1789–December 1791'' (1967), p. 239 *How the Devil could your friend Burke publish such a Farrago of Nonsense? **[[w:George IV of the United Kingdom|George, Prince of Wales]]' remark to [[w:Murrough O'Brien, 1st Marquess of Thomond|Lord Thomond]] after the publication of the ''Reflections'', as recalled by Thomond to [[w:Joseph Farington|Joseph Farington]] in 1806, quoted in James Greig (ed.), ''The Farington Diary: Vol. IV'' (1924), p. 22 *Burke's book is a most admirable medication against the French disease, which has made too much progress even in this happy country. I admire his eloquence, I approve his politics, I adore his chivalry, and I can even forgive his superstition. **[[Edward Gibbon]], letter to Lord Sheffield (5 February 1791), quoted in J. E. Norton (ed.), ''The Letters of Edward Gibbon: Volume Three 1784-1794'' (1956), p. 216 *There is a saying of Burke's from which I must utterly dissent. "Property is sluggish and inert." Quite the contrary. Property is vigilant, active, sleepless; if ever it seems to slumber, be sure that one eye is open. **[[William Ewart Gladstone]] in conversation with [[John Morley]] (31 December 1891), quoted in John Morley, ''The Life of William Ewart Gladstone. Vol. III (1880-1898)'' (1903), p. 469 *The Revolution of France does not astonish me so much as the Revolution of Mr. Burke. I wish I could believe the latter proceeded from as pure motives as the former. But what demonstration could scarcely have established before, less than the hints of [[Joseph Priestley|Dr. Priestley]] and [[Thomas Paine|Mr. Paine]] establish firmly now. How mortifying that this evidence of the rotteness of his mind must oblige us now to ascribe to wicked motives those actions of his life which wore the mask of virtue and patriotism. **[[Thomas Jefferson]] to Benjamin Vaughan (11 May 1791), quoted in Julian P. Boyd (ed.), ''The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 20: 1 April to 4 August 1791'' (1982), p. 391 *The [[w:fr:Amélie de Boufflers|Dss de Biron]] who is lately returned to England Informed me that thro' the means of Miss Wilkes the Queen of France first saw the passage in your Book which relates to Her: Miss Wilkes Translated the paragraph and enclosed it to the Dss de la Valiere who received it while [[w:Louise-Emmanuelle de Châtillon, Princesse de Tarente|Madame de Tarente]] was with her who is one of the Queen's Bed-chamber women: This Lady immediately carried it to the Queen, who before she had read half the Lines, she Burst into a Flood of Tears, and was a long Time before she was sufficiently composed to peruse the remainder. **[[w:Edward Jerningham|Edward Jerningham]] to Burke (''ante'' 18 January 1791), quoted in Alfred Cobban and Robert A. Smith (eds.), ''The Correspondence of Edmund Burke, Volume VI: July 1789–December 1791'' (1967), pp. 203-204 *I hope before this time you are in full possession of Mr. Burkes admirable, excellent, incomparable pamphlet. I think it will do great service here in preventing confusion and rebellion; whether it can cure the evil already done in France it is difficult to say, for sh[oul]d it restore the Democrats to their senses, it cannot restore life to the murderd, nor property to the plunderd, nor treat the wounds the State has received. It gives one great delight to see fine talents employd to good and great purposes, and my pleasure was heightened by my long intimacy and friendship for Mr. Burke. **[[w:Elizabeth Montagu|Elizabeth Montagu]] to unknown (n.d.), quoted in ''Mrs. Montague, “Queen of the Blues”. Her Letters and Friendships from 1762-1800, Volume II, 1777–1800'', eds. Reginald Blunt and Emily J. Climenson (n.d.), p. 249 * Many counterrevolutionary books have been written in favor of the Revolution. But Burke has written a revolutionary book against the Revolution. ** [[Novalis]], ''Blüthenstaub'' (1798), Fragment No. 104 *Burke's book is diffuse and flowery, like his speeches, talks of various very uninteresting things, but it is what is called a fine piece of eloquence and a splendid exercise of talents. **[[w:Anthony Morris Storer|Anthony Storer]] to Lord Auckland (26 November 1790), quoted in ''The Journal and Correspondence of William, Lord of Auckland, Volume II'' (1861), pp. 377–378 *His pamphlet came out this day sennight, and is far superior to what was expected, even by his warmest admirers. I have read it twice; and though of three hundred and fifty pages, I wish I could repeat every page by heart. It is sublime, profound, and gay. The wit and satire are equally brilliant; and the whole is wise, though in some points he goes too far: yet in general there is far less want of judgement than could be expected from him. If it could be translated—which, from the wit and metaphors and allusions, is almost impossible—I should think it would be a classic book in all countries, except in ''present'' France. To their tribunes it speaks daggers; though, unlike them, it uses none. **[[Horace Walpole]] to Mary Berry (8 November 1790), quoted in ''The Letters of Horace Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford, Vol. XIV: 1787–1791'', ed. Paget Toynbee (1905), pp. 313–314 *Delighted with Mr. Burke?—yes, so delighted that I have read him twice, and if I were not so old and had not lost my memory, I would try to get his whole book by heart. It is the wisest book I ever read in my life; and after that, the wittiest. It ought to be translated into all languages, and commented, and preached in all churches in portions—pray, has not [[Richard Price|Dr. Price]] hanged himself? **[[Horace Walpole]] to Edward Jerningham (10 November 1790), quoted in ''Supplement to The Letters of Horace Walpole, Fourth Earl of Orford, Vol. III: 1744–1797'', ed. Paget Toynbee (1915), p. 62 *Never was there, I suppose, a work so valuable in its kind, or that displayed powers of so extraordinary a sort. It is a work that may seem capable of overturning the National Assembly, and turning the stream of opinion throughout Europe. One would think, that the author of such a work, would be called to the government of his country, by the combined voices of every man in it. What shall be said of the state of things when it is remembered that the writer is a man decried, persecuted, and proscribed; not being much valued, even by his own party, and by half the nation considered as little better than an ingenious madman? **[[w:William Windham|William Windham]], diary (7 November 1790), quoted in The Earl of Rosebery (ed.), ''The Windham Papers: Volume One'' (1913), pp. 96–97 ==External links== {{wikipedia-inline}} [[Category:Political works]] 28pu6wnn8grr2wop9fepwq96ovfonbf Ozzy & Drix 0 213752 3147734 3070426 2022-07-26T20:22:16Z GreenMeansGo 2108323 /* External links */ r/m Template:Tv.com show wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Ozzy & Drix|Ozzy & Drix]]''''' (2002–2004) is an American animated TV show based on the 2001 film [[Osmosis Jones]].

Who's side are you on?! <hr width="50%"> :''[after refusing to give Spryman his private eye card, Ozzy is sent to the nose as punishment for his mistake; Ellen arrives to visit him]'' :'''Ozzy''': Ellen! Why are you here? Have they sent bail yet? :'''Ellen''': Yes, for one million carbs. :'''Ozzy''': A million carbs?! :'''Ellen''': Hey, I talked them down from a billion. ''[hands Ozzy some papers]'' They have a solid case against you, Ozzy. Creating a danger for the body, ignoring a direct order from the mayor, resisting arrest. :'''Ozzy''': Okay, okay. What do we do? :'''Ellen''': Fill these out. I'll try to make a deal. :'''Ozzy''': You want me to cop a plea? To what? :'''Ellen''': Insanity. Trust me, it's a slam dunk. <hr width="50%"> :''[after Hector gets pushed by Ricky, the power in his nose shuts down, allowing Jones to escape]'' :'''Chief Gluteus''': I don't want excuses. ''[notices Spryman exiting his office]'' I want him caught now! :'''Mayor Spryman''': Him? Him who? :'''Chief Gluteus''': Oh, um, Osmosis Jones, sir. He broke out of the nose. :'''Mayor Spryman''': What?! Well, you've gotta catch him! He's gonna get in the way of my plan! :'''Chief Gluteus''': Don't worry! We're right on his trail! By the way, what is your plan? :'''Mayor Spryman''': First, we beg Ricky for forgiveness. And then we run screaming like a frightened little girl. :'''Chief Gluteus''': I like it! <hr width="50%"> :''[Ozzy goes into the Cerebral Cortex and uses a device to control Hector's movements]'' :'''Chief Gluteus''': ''[stops Ozzy]'' Hold it right there! :'''Ozzy''': C'mon, Chief, I'm wired for action. :'''Chief Gluteus''': I'm not joking, Jones! :'''Ozzy''': Neither am I. Just gimme a minute, he'll be okay. :'''Chief Gluteus''': Putting Hector in the hospital is not okay! :'''Ozzy''': Sorry, Chief, but I gotta do this. <hr width="50%"> :''[with Ozzy's help, Hector manages to scare Ricky away his martial arts moves]'' :'''Mayor Spryman''': Okay, guys. The game's over. I don't want you fighting when the media shows up. :'''Ozzy and Gluteus''': What? :'''Ozzy''': Did you say the media? :'''Mayor Spryman''': Sure. They're gonna wanna whoever came up with the idea for all those crazy moves. Naturally, I'll say it was me. :'''Chief Gluteus''': Uh, but sir, I did most of the manipulation there. :'''Mayor Spryman''': Or I could just tell those reporters how you let Jones ''escape''. :'''Chief Gluteus''': Yes, sir! That's... well done. :'''Ozzy''': What did I tell ya, Chief? Our mayor is one smart cell. Pauly, you're a real take-charge guy. In fact, once I get my private eye card back, I may even have more compliments for ya. :'''Mayor Spryman''': I ''am'' good, aren't I? === ''Strepfinger'' [1.3] === :''[Hector suffers from a fever]'' :'''Drix''': Ugh, a stakeout on the hottest day of the year! Couldn't we battle the dread forces of contagion someplace a tad more comfortable, say poolside at Hector Grand Hotel? :'''Ozzy''': No way, Drix! Heat means fever, fever means infection, and infection means our boy Hector needs us right here. Besides, the last time we went swimmin', your bubbles carbonated the whole pool! <hr width="50%"> :''[after Drix saves Ozzy from falling into a vat of acid in Hector's iron works]'' :'''Drix''': Officer Amino? :'''Maria''': Drix, you okay? :'''Drix''': Yes, Maria, I'm at the challenge with courage and fortitude! Ozzy screamed like a little girl though. :'''Ozzy''': Hey! :'''Chief Gluteus''': Jones! Do you have any idea what you've done?! :'''Ozzy''': Besides stoppin' a gang of bugs from robbin' the iron works? :'''Maria''': Those weren't ordinary bugs, Ozzy. :'''Chief Gluteus''': They are known as... The Red Menace! They bring fever, inflammation to whatever they touch! Cell after cell falls before them in a... uh, hideous domino effect! :'''Maria''': We were trying to capture their leader so we would find out where they would strike next. :''[Mayor Spryman's limousine arrives]'' :'''Mayor Spryman''': Stop everything! I'm declaring a state of emergency! :'''Chief Gluteus''': What's wrong, sir? :'''Mayor Spryman''': Hector's going to the doctor! ''[Ozzy, Drix, Maria, and the Chief gasp in shock]'' I hate doctors! Hide me! :'''Chief Gluteus''': Well, that's it then. They'll send in a special cold war operative. This bug's way out of our league. :'''Ozzy''': What?! We don't need no special agent! I can handle this Red Menace all by myself! :''[Drix, Maria, the Chief, and the Mayor begin laughing at Ozzy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[after the doctor injects a shot into Hector's arm, a James Bond-esque cell appears before the main crew]'' :'''Cell''': The name's G. Penicillin G. What's the situation? :'''Ozzy''': Hm. Handsome, cool accent, slicker than earwax, I hate him already! <hr width="50%"> :''[after Drix and Penicillin G leaves him behind to investigate the throat, Ozzy beats them to it and eavesdrops and the Red Menace's conversation via binoculars]'' :'''Number 2''': Well, Number 3, I hope your bungling at the iron works hasn't thrown off our inspection schedule, hmm? :'''Number 3''': Of course not, Number 2. In fact, we've just programed the protein sequence that will trigger the infection. :'''Number 2''': Excellent! Number 1 can finally proceed with his plans to give Hector a nasty case of [[w:pneumonia|pneumonia]]. :'''Ozzy''': Pneumonia?! I gotta get that disk! <hr width="50%"> :''[Penicillin G sacrificed himself to save Ozzy while Ozzy managed to snatch the protein sequence]'' :'''Drix''': Poor Penicillin G. His bright flame extinguished by an adolescent loogie. :'''Ozzy''': Hey, I feel just as bad! I mean, the guy sacrificed himself to save my my butt, and all I ever did was dis him. I owe the G-Man, Drix! I gotta finish what he started! And this protein sequence is the key! :'''Drix''': Ozzy, G was a skilled operative. You don't have his cunning, his breeding, his... pinash. :'''Ozzy''': Maybe not, but I have his briefcase! <hr width="50%"> :''[while trying to act like Penicillin G, Ozzy runs into the girlfriend of the boss of the Red Menace, Ernst Strepfinger]'' :'''Ozzy''': Hey, I don't like the way you're talkin' to the lady, Strepfinger! :'''Strepfinger''': And I don't like meddlesome blood cells. :'''Ozzy''': Well, I don't like your casino! :'''Strepfinger''': Well, I don't like brazen oafs who make googly eyes at my girlfriend, and think they can ruin my plans! :'''Ozzy''': Well... you ugly! :''[the germs gasp in shock]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[with the help of Penicillin G, Ozzy manages to disable the Strep bombs and defeat Strepfinger]'' :'''Penicillin G''': Thanks to you, Agent Jones. Hector should up and about in not time. :'''Ozzy''': Hey, couldn't have done it without ya, G-Man! So where ya off to now? :'''Penicillin G''': Sticky and I are gonna take a little holiday. It seems I just have time. :'''Sticky''': I told you: I like dangerous things. === ''A Lousy Haircut'' [1.4 === :''[after Ozzy captures two germs in spite of Drix's large size, they both go to a movie which is really a viewing of Hector getting his haircut at a barbershop]'' :'''Ozzy''': I told ya a movie would cheer you up. Hey, want some polyp corn? :'''Drix''': No, thanks. :''[someone throws a container at Drix]'' :'''Cell 1''': Hey, super economy size! Get outta the way! :'''Maria''': Who threw that?! :'''Cell 1''': Oh, uh, she did! :'''Cell 2''': Quit it! :'''Drix''': It's alright, Maria. Perhaps I should move to the back. :'''Cell 3''': Hey, Godcella! Hurry up! :'''Cell 4''': That ain't no cell! :'''Cell 5''': That's God''pill''a! ''[the audience all laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[during the movie, Ozzy notices something jumping off the barber's comb and onto Hector's Hair]'' :'''Drix''': Humiliation, thy name is Drix. :'''Ozzy''': Are you gonna lie there with a pillow over your head all day? Dang, I haven't seen you this depressed since that time you didn't get invited to the Medicine Ball. :'''Drix''': Sometimes, I think I should have dissolved a long long time ago. :'''Ozzy''': Would you get over it already?! Yeah, you're big! So what?! So I had to take on two heavily-armed viruses by myself! So they nearly ruptured my membrane! So you wrecked my beautiful perfect car that I loved like a brother! Wh... Where was I going with this? :'''Drix''': I simply can't imagine. Look, let's face it. I'm just too big. :'''Ozzy''': Hold on! Hector's headin' into the boy's room! As soon as he comes his hair, I'll see it. :'''Drix''': See what? :'''Ozzy''': Whatever jumped onto his head. :''[Ozzy zooms into Hector's hair and notices what appears to be white balls attached to its head]'' :'''Ozzy''': Oh, no! This is bad Drix! And I don't mean overdue-video bad! I mean grenade-in-your-pants bad! :'''Drix''': Congratulations, you peaked my curiosity. ''[looks through Ozzy's binoculars]'' :'''Ozzy''': Check out the left temple. :'''Drix''': Hm. Fickle scalp cells always flaking off. :'''Ozzy''': Nuh-uh! That ain't dandruff, Drix! It's eggs. ''Lice'' eggs. And when they hatch, Hector's scalp is gonna be one big blood buffet for a bunch of six-legged monsters! :'''Drix''': Oh, there goes lunch! <hr width="50%"> :''[Ozzy goes to Mayor Spryman's office to warn him of the lice eggs on Hector's scalp]'' :'''Mayor Spryman''': Jones. What is it now? More jockets? :'''Ozzy''': No, it's worse! We got lice eggs! :'''Mayor Spryman''': ''[sarcastically]'' Ooh, eggs! Scary! What are you afraid of? Cholesterol? :'''Ozzy''': We gotta do something before they hatch! I need your approval to lead an expedition to the scalp. :'''Brain Advisor 2''': Sir, after basketball practice today, there's a lice check in the nurse's office. I'm quite certain she will deal with the situation. :'''Ozzy''': Lice check?! Do you have any idea what happens if they find lice?! Hector'd have to stay home from school, maybe for weeks! :'''Mayor Spryman''': No school for weeks! Just think of it. Video games, endless TV, raiding the snack cupboard all day! ''[hugs his brain advisors]'' :'''Ozzy''': Well, we can't jus-- :'''Brain Advisor 2''': Your audience with Mayor Spryman is at an end, Mr. Jones. :'''Ozzy''': Fine! If you guys won't do anything, I'll take care of this myself. :'''Brain Advisor 2''': If you want an out-of-Hector experience, go ahead. But without an anti-coagulation suit, as soon as you hit the outside air, you'll begin to oxidize. :'''Brain Advisor 1''': Yes, you will get all stiff and dried up and turn into a big icky scab! :'''Ozzy''': And I'll still be better-looking than you, poindexter! <hr width="50%"> :'''Ozzy''': Yo, Drix! We're gonna go to the scalp and rouse some louse! :'''Drix''': Where did you get that anti-coagulation suit? :'''Ozzy''': Hey... The... Uh... This guy gave it to me. :'''Drix''': ''[notices the badge on the suit]'' HPD? Jones, you took that from the police department! :'''Ozzy''': Hey, I'm just borrowin' it! It's an emergency! :'''Drix''': ''[sighs]'' Go without me. A big clumsy goon such as myself will only drag you down. :'''Ozzy''': Drix, I can't go without you. I need you on this one. Hector needs you. Do you know what'll happen to him if the other kids find out he has lice? They will laugh at him! :'''Drix''': They... They will?! :'''Ozzy''': Oh, yeah! And make jokes behind his back! :'''Drix''': He'll be an outcast. A misfit! :'''Ozzy''': Ya got that right! :'''Drix''': Spurn by society! Hated and reviled! All this simply because he's too big! TOO DARN BIG!!! :'''Ozzy''': Uh... We're not talkin' 'bout Hector anymore, are we? :'''Drix''': Alright! It's De-lousing time! <hr width="50%"> :''[thanks to their mysterious informant, The Mole, Ozzy and Drix journey through the scalp to get rid of the lice eggs]'' :'''Ozzy''': ''[singing] I don't know, but I've been told! Hector's feet have stinky moles! Soundoff! One, two! Sound off! Three, four!'' Bring it on home, Drix! C'mon! :'''Drix''': No, thank you. :'''Ozzy''': Y'know, lately, you've been about as much fun as a stomach flu. :'''Drix''': Well, since I seem to bother everyone else, why should you be an exception? Perhaps I should remain out here, where there's ''room'' for me! Where I can be myself and revel in the rugged grandeur of the majestic snow-capped peaks! :'''Ozzy''': Drix, those are zits. :'''Drix''': Oh, well, that's just lovely. <hr width="50%"> :'''Christine''': How embarrassing would it be if they found bugs in your hair! :'''Hector''': Yeah, gross! That'd be worse than taking your sister to the prom! :''[Christine and two other girls exclaim in disgust]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[The Mole secretly placed camera's on Hector's scalp, filming Drix's heroic actions with the giant louse; the footage is being shown in the theaters]'' :'''Cell 1''': ''[throws another can at Drix]'' Hey, double wide!

Excuse me, pardon me. === ''Oh, My Dog'' [1.5] === :'''Ellen''': On behalf of the assimilation committee, I welcome you to the City of Hector, Mr... :'''Cell''': Uh, Pauly. Call me Pauly. :'''Ellen''': Alright, Pauly. Hector is a small city, but we're growing fast. Or... we will be once puberty kicks in. :'''Pauly''': Little tings get big. :'''Ellen''': ''[stares at Pauly in confusion]'' Yes, that's right, Pauly. Now, this is the address of our department of employment. They'll find you a job. It's in a germy area, so be careful, okay? :'''Pauly''': Germy area. Be careful. Germy area. :'''Ellen''': Sweet guy. I hope he's gonna be okay. <hr width="50%"> :''[on their way home from School, Hector and Travis run into a stray dog]'' :'''Travis''': It's a cool dog. I wonder whose it is. :'''Hector''': No color or anything. I guess he's a stray. ''[the dog jumps up and licks his face]'' :'''Travis''': Hector, my man, looks like you got yourself a free dog. Score! :'''Hector''': I'm gonna call him... Uno. :'''Travis''': Okay, why? :'''Hector''': 'Cause he's number one. :'''Travis''': Uh, well, don't look now, but I think he just did number one on your shoes. :'''Hector''': Uno! ''[Uno jumps up and licks his face again]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Pauly has been terrorizing Mucus Beach by secretly turning into a humongous monster; a restaurant owner tasks Ozzy and Drix to track it down because the HPD do not believe him]'' :'''Drix''': What I don't understand is how something that big could vanish without a trace. :'''Ozzy''': There's only one answer, Drix: It's an [[w:allergen|allergen]]. Allergies are triggered by allergens, and the thing about allergens is one minute they look normal, and the next, they're Germosaurus Rex! Let's split and see what we can find. <hr width="50%"> :''[a dog germ is formed when some of Uno's saliva went into Hector's nose; Drix finds it in an alley and shows it to Ozzy]'' :'''Drix''': Ozzy, look! ''[the dog germ licks Ozzy's face]'' I found a pet! I found a pet! :'''Ozzy''': So, naturally, you figured you'd smear his drool on my face. ''[the dog germ sniffs in Ozzy's jacket]'' Get you nose outta there! ''[the germ grabs the two cheese-boogers]'' Hey that's our bonus meal! ''[he and the germ fight over the cheese-booger]'' :'''Drix''': Dander, release. ''[the germ let's go, making Ozzy fall to the ground]'' :'''Ozzy''': Dander?! :'''Drix''': Oh, that's what I named him, and I'm going to buy him fancy collars, and I'm going to smother him in love and affection forever and ever and ever! Oh, look, he even knows tricks! Okay, Dander, play dead! ''[Dander does so]'' Dander, play Osmosis! ''[Dander shifts his face to look like Ozzy]'' :'''Ozzy''': Yo, your dog's makin' fun of me! Tell him to knock it off! ''[Dander barks mockingly]'' Seriously, man, cut it out! ''[Dander barks mockingly again]'' I ain't playing with you! ''[Dander continues mocking him]'' I said STOP IT!!! ''[Dander mocks him again and his face turns back to normal]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Dander chases Pauly to an alley, but Pauly turns back into his small self, which makes it look like Dander was the allergen]'' :'''Chief Gluteus''': Jones! I should have known you had something to do with this mess! :'''Ozzy''': Yeah, well you also should've known that that mustache makes you look like a walrus, but there ya go! :'''Maria''': How about you boys lay off the macho junk and we figure out what happened here? :'''Ozzy''': Oh, I can tell you what happened: Allergy attack! Big one! :'''Chief Gluteus''': Allergy, huh? Any sign of the allergen? :'''Drix''': ''[moves away]'' Ozzy, no. :'''Ozzy''': Sorry, Drix. It's for the good of Hector. ''[Drix sighs]'' We followed the allergen's tracks, they led right to that dog. :'''Chief Gluteus''': Right. We'll take it from here. ''[two cops come to take Dander]'' :'''Drix''': But it isn't his fault! Wait! :'''Ozzy''': Hey, you can visit him in jail. :'''Chief Gluteus''': We don't lock dangerous animals up, Jones. We dissolve'em. Take him to the stomach acid, boys. :'''Drix''': Dander! ''[the HPD drive away, taking Dander with them]'' I'm so sorry, boy. :'''Ozzy''': Drix, I didn't know. :'''Drix''': Oh, I'm sorry! Are you laboring under the delusion that '''I WILL EVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN?!? WELL, ALLOW ME TO CORRECT THAT!! GOODBYE!!!''' ''[dashes away]'' :'''Ozzy''': Drix! :'''Maria''': You had to do it, Jones. :'''Ozzy''': Yeah, I guess, but I still feel lower than foot fungus. <hr width="50%"> :''[after playing with Uno, Hector goes under a sneezing fit]'' :'''Mrs. Cruz''': Oh, poor baby! :'''Hector''': Mom, I'm 13! :'''Mrs. Cruz''': Hector, I'm afraid you're allergic to the dog. ''[leads Uno into the backyard]'' :'''Hector''': Allergic? No. Hey, I'm totally fine. :'''Mrs. Cruz''': I'm sorry, Hector, but it looks like we'll have to get rid of Uno. :'''Hector''': No! :'''Mrs. Cruz''': My friend Sue does animal rescue. I'll call her tomorrow. Don't worry. She'll find him a good home. <hr width="50%"> :''[Ozzy and the HPD find out too late that Pauly is the allergen when he goes through a stage 3 attack and absorbs all the white blood cells in the body; Drix manages to free the cells by shooting a freeze inducer at Pauly while Dander escapes and reunites with Drix]'' :'''Ozzy''': Alright, who's been playing rugby with my head? :'''Drix''': Come on, Dander can help us track the allergen! :'''Maria''': We've got to find it before it goes to stage 3 again! :'''Ozzy''': Can I just stay here and die peacefully? ''[Maria drags him away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[thanks to Dander, Ozzy, Drix, and Maria defeat Pauly by making Hector sneeze so hard, he launches Pauly out of the nose]'' :'''Mrs. Cruz''': ''[arrives with a bouquet of flowers]'' Look what your dad brought home, Hector, aren't they nice? ''[Hector goes into another sneezing fit; his mother feels his shirt]'' Hector, you've got pollen all over your shirt. :'''Hector''': Yeah.

You can keep him! ''[lets Uno back into the house]'' :'''Hector''': Uno! <hr width="50%"> :'''Drix''': Come on, Ozzy!

It helps other templates detect if they are on a "Template:" page or some "other" type of page. === Usage === This template usually takes two parameters, like this: <pre> {{template other | Template page text | Other pages text }} </pre> If the template is on a "Template:" page, it will return this: :{{template other | Template page text | Other pages text }} If the template is on any other page, it will return this: :{{template other | demospace=other | Template page text | Other pages text }} A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when not on a template page. Thus not adding the template itself and other templates that are built with it to the category. Like this: <pre> {{template other | | [[Category:Some maintenance category]] }} </pre> Note that in the example above the "template" parameter was left empty. === Demospace === For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take a parameter named '''demospace'''. * If it has the value '''template''' it returns the template page text. * It if has the value '''other''' or any other value such as the name of some other namespace it returns the other pages text. * If the parameter is empty or undefined, the actual page type determines the result. Like this: <pre> {{template other | Template page text | Other pages text | demospace = template }} </pre> No matter on what kind of page the code above is used it will return this: :{{template other | Template page text | Other pages text | demospace = template }} You can make it so your template also understands the '''demospace''' parameter. That means you can demonstrate the different appearances of your template in the documentation for your template. Then do like this: <pre> {{template other | Template page text | Other pages text | demospace = {{{demospace|}}} }} </pre> === Technical details === This template detects "Template talk:" pages as type '''other'''. <includeonly>{{sandbox other|| <!-- CATEGORIES HERE, THANKS --> [[Category:Namespace detection templates]] [[Category:Template namespace templates]] }}</includeonly> 913pf4eumdampln2en9kyyu9ks4uepv Steven Universe Future 0 222076 3147441 3141973 2022-07-26T14:47:47Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* Growing Pains */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Steven Universe Future|Steven Universe Future]]''''' (2019–2020) is an animated limited series produced by [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as an epilogue for [[Steven Universe (season 5)|Season 5]] of ''[[Steven Universe]]'' and ''[[Steven Universe: The Movie]]''. ==Episodes== ===''Little Homeschool''=== :'''Steven''': ''[narrating]'' Life is a little different these days. The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror. The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet. We're all safe to explore our dreams. Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on. Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep. She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early. And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and I have been cooking up a dream of our own! :'''Cherry Quartz''': I have no idea who you're talking about. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling]'' Don't worry about it. You'll learn all that, and more, right here at Little Homeschool. ''[gives Cherry Quartz a tour around]'' Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like. You can forge a new identity. Grow your own ideas. And even find your inner Morp! :'''Cherry Quartz''': Wait, what's a "Morp"? :'''Steven''': That's ''exactly'' the kind of question we love to hear! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters. They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need. :'''Jasper''': So? Who cares? :'''Steven''': ''[angrily]'' I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster too! :'''Jasper''': And what? Now I owe you? :'''Steven''': No! :'''Jasper''': You think because you did something I never asked for, I'm going to ''obey'' you? :'''Steven''': No! That's not-- :'''Jasper''': Like all the other Gems you ''use.'' :'''Steven''': ''[frustrated]'' AGGGHHH! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault! All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but-- but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight! Which you ''LOST!'' To ''ME!'' No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere, ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! ''Because I'm trying to give you one!'' :'''Jasper''': Listen, weakling! You might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are ''not'' my Diamond, and I am ''not'' going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it. :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''Jasper''': ''[suddenly smiles eagerly]'' Really? Huh, well then! Why don't you throw the first punch? ''[beckons tauntingly, and Steven punches her, pushing her back a few feet]'' Ooohh...! ''[laughs aggressively and charges back at him]'' :'''Steven''': I... guess we're doing this. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During his fight with Jasper, Steven bubbles a nest of baby birds to protect them]'' :'''Jasper''': Stop trying to help those tiny flapping Earthlings, and ''FIGHT ME!'' :'''Steven''': I'll never stop trying to help them, or you! :'''Jasper''': ''[kicking his shield away and pinning him down]'' I don't need your help! ''You're'' the one that needs help! You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own! You've always been a fusion! You've always had your friends! Because you're nothing without them! You think everyone needs help! :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I-- I just-- :'''Jasper''': But ''it's only you. No one'' is as '''''pitiful''''' as '''''you!''''' :''[Shaken and angry, Steven starts to glow pink and pushes Jasper back with a sudden burst of strength, much to her surprise]'' :'''Steven''': ''[looking at himself]'' Whoa... what? ''[Jasper grins, and Steven angrily summons a bubble glove and charges at her with it]'' I'M... ''NOT''... PITIFUL! ''[sends her flying back through several trees]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' Ha. Not bad. ''[continues to fight Steven, who catches her in the middle of a spin-dash]'' Nice catch. :'''Steven''': You should see my ''THROW!'' ''[tosses her up into the air, where she laughs as he hits her several more times]'' STOP LAUGHING! ''[sends her slamming back down into the ground, then gasps in shock and returns to normal]'' Jasper... :'''Jasper''': ''[gets up and shakes herself off, impressed]'' Huh. I didn't think you had it in you. :'''Steven''': I don't... I don't know what that was. I'm sorry. :'''Jasper''': ''[rolling her eyes]'' Ugh! Don't apologize. :'''Steven''': I... think I had you all wrong. Maybe you don't have something to learn from me. Maybe I have something to learn from you. ''[Jasper raises an eyebrow]'' Would you ever be interested in teaching? :'''Jasper''': ''[scoffs]'' Tssh! At your crummy little school? :'''Steven''': No, just me. You brought something out of me I didn't know I had. :'''Jasper''': ''[walks up to Steven, placing a hand on his shoulder]'' Consider that fight back there your first and ''only'' lesson. ''[begins walking off]'' :'''Steven''': Well... can I come back to see you sometime? :'''Jasper''': Do what you want. ===''Guidance''=== :'''Larimar''': What is this wonderful noise? :'''Steven''': Those are the joyful screams of people on a roller coaster. :'''Larimar''': Human screams are my favorite of the Earth's delights. I want to hear the human screams forever. :'''Steven''': Okay, that's kind of troubling. But your heart is in the right place. :'''Larimar''': One day, I'll make ''you'' scream, Steven. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larimar''': I just wanted to say thanks for the amusement park job. I'm not great at the roller-coaster operation, we know, but I found out I'm good at handing out prizes to children, and I love their laughter. :'''Steven''': Aww. :'''Larimar''': It sounds just like screaming. ===''Rose Buds''=== :'''Holly Blue Agate''': Stop relaxing and get back to your posts! Ugh! How can you stand this total lack of order? :'''Amethyst Guard''': Chill out, Holly Blue. You know you want to. :'''Holly Blue Agate''' I give up. No one answers to me, and I answer to no one. I'd give anything for an order from the Diamonds, but all they talk about is Steven, Steven, Steven -- Steven! :'''Steven''': Hi, Holly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[seeing all of the Rose Quartzes being un-bubbled]'' So... Many... Rose Quartzes. How did the-- :'''Superfan Rose''': Oh, now that it's Era 3, we were all unbubbled, so now, we're making up for lost time. Hi! I'm Rose Quartz, and you, you're Steven! You are so much smaller than I imagined! Is it because you're half organic? Can you believe it, Rose Quartz?! :'''Hippie Rose''': It's like, we where bubbled, but now we're like, not bubbled. :'''Steven''': Th-It's really-- It's really great. ===''Volleyball''=== :'''Steven''': So, how would you like your magical spit administered today? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': Ah, geez, uh... the ''not'' kissing one? :'''Steven''': You got it! ''[licks his palm and applies healing spit onto the Ruby's gem, healing the crack]'' Man, what kind of enemies does the mayor have to keep you landing in my office? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': That's classified information, nurse-citizen Universe. :'''Steven''': Okay, well, try not to classify too hard out there. Oh, don't forget your lollipop! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Pink Pearl's cracked face]'' :'''Pearl''': How could White be so careless? :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, no, Pearl. You've got it all wrong. Pink did this. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' What did you say? ''[approaches her]'' :'''Steven''': Pearl, no...! :'''Pink Pearl''': It's a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn't fit to run one, and, well, that set her off. :'''Pearl''': "Set her off"? What are you talking about? :'''Pink Pearl''': You remember how she was, with her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right. She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn't mean to hurt me. ''[chuckles]'' I just happened to be standing too close to her that time, and-- :'''Steven''': ''[covering his ears anxiously]'' Doesn't matter! I'm gonna fix it! :'''Pearl''': Destructive powers?! Pink didn't have destructive powers, she was a healer! She didn't throw tantrums, she kept her feelings secret! :'''Pink Pearl''': The Pink I knew couldn't keep a secret to save her gem. :'''Pearl''': Are you kidding?! If anything, she was ''too'' good at keeping secrets, even from me! :''[Frustrated by their arguing, Steven furiously snaps and starts glowing pink]'' :'''Steven''': ''[lividly]'' ''STOP IT!'' I CAN'T DEAL WITH ''ONE MORE'' HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! ''[Both Pearls gasp]'' I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, I DON'T EVEN WANNA ''THINK'' ABOUT IT! :'''Pearl''': Steven! :'''Steven''': I JUST WANT TO '''''FIX IT!!!''''' :''[Steven unleashes a shockwave that causes cracks around the room. Pink Pearl cowers in fear, and Steven looks at his own reflection in shock and remorse]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry for not believing you. It looks like I'm still making excuses for her. :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[tearfully]'' Is that what ''I've'' been doing?! But... she didn't mean to! :'''Pearl''': But you were hurt! Badly hurt! :'''Pink Pearl''': I was badly hurt... How did ''you'' stop hurting? :'''Pearl''': ''[embraces her tightly]'' I didn't. :''[Pink Pearl returns the hug, and they fuse into Mega Pearl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm so sorry. The whole trip was for nothing. :'''Mega Pearl''': No, it wasn't for nothing. Your mother's Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other. :''[She separates into the two Pearls, peacefully holding hands]'' ===''Bluebird''=== :'''Steven''': Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys fused just because you hate me, didn't you? :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': Yes! :'''Steven Universe''': If that's the only reason, then it's no wonder you can't keep it together. :'''Aquamarine''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven Universe''': There are so many other reasons to fuse, like friendship and responsibility and... and love. Imagine how much better it would feel to fuse to support each other, instead of tearing someone down. Your life would fill with warmth and friendship and joy and love and-- :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': ''[covering her ears]'' Wowie, wow! He is ''so'' annoying! :'''Aquamarine''': I hate him so much! :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': I know! Me too! ''[they fuse back into Bluebird Azurite]'' :'''Steven''': Are you kidding me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm really sorry, Dad. I never should have given Bluebird a chance. :'''Greg''': I love how you believe in everyone. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. ===''A Very Special Episode''=== :'''Ocean Jasper''': I slip on the stairs? :'''Garnet''': Yes. You shatter on impact. :''[Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite scream]'' :'''Steven''': ''[enters through the door]'' Garnet, I'm here. :'''Garnet''': Steven, help. I think I'm scaring them. :'''Steven''': It's okay. We got this. Let's get this safety Geminar started with a very special guest speaker. :''[They both dance and fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Your rockin' pal Sunstone's here to shine. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Watch out, Sunstone. It's dangerous in here. :'''Sunstone''': Not if you practice home safety. Don't slip up. Clear objects off the stairs. Foul shot! Make sure you cover your trash, or you might attract wild animals. Come on. Let's go! Don't leave the water running, it could flood your house. Put protective covers on electrical outlets, especially when kids are around. And most importantly, turn off motion smoothing on your TV. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Wow, everything looks so much better! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven receives a call from Pearl, who he left to take care of Onion]'' :'''Steven''': ''[exhausted]'' Please, please have everything under control... :'''Pearl''': STEVEN! EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL! :'''Steven''': Yup... :'''Pearl''': It's getting really weird here! Steven, you were never like this, you were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you that! Aah! I... I can hear him, but I can't see him! I think he's in the walls! I don't know how he got there, and I don't know how to get him out! ''[call ends]'' :'''Steven''': ''[long gasp]'' Garnet, can you handle things on your own for a little bit? :'''Garnet''': No problem. Our students love me. ''[walks over to them]'' Let me tell you all the ways you can get hit by a car. :'''Steven''': Agh, Garnet! Forget it. I'll stay. I'll stay! :'''Pearl''': ''[in another call]'' STEVEN, THERE'S A SNAKE! :'''Steven''': Never mind! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Why play with sharp objects when you can play with my sharp wit? Crack jokes, not cookie jars, as I always say. Ha ha! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It's important to keep in mind that all these horrible things ''did'' happen to you in alternate timelines. Safety is fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Onion has led Garnet's students off a cliff]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, no! :'''Garnet''': Steven, quick! Sunstone can save them! :'''Steven''': Okay... ''[they fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Oh, yeah! :'''Pearl''': No! Let Rainbow save them! ''[fuses with Steven]'' :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': ''[showing his umbrella]'' I'll catch them with this! :'''Amethyst''': ''[rushing in]'' Hey, wait! ''I'' need Steven! :'''Steven''' ''[unfuses from Pearl]'' What is it, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': I just miss you, man! I haven't seen you for, like, eleven minutes! ===''Snow Day''=== :'''Amethyst''': ''[enters with fried eggs for eyes]'' You really gonna skip the most egg-ssential meal of the day? :'''Steven''': Of course not. I've got all my morning nutrients in this protein shake. :'''Amethyst''': ''[pokes yolk to leak]'' Dude, you're making me sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Man, you had a better work-life balance when the Diamonds were trying to destroy the planet. :'''Steven''': That was then. This is now. :'''Amethyst''': Hey, you know what we haven't done in a long time? ''[shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven]'' Steven Tag! :'''Steven''': Amethyst, what the heck?! :'''Amethyst''': You know the rules, buster. You get tagged, you have to turn into Steven. :'''Steven''': But I'm already Steven! :'''Amethyst''': Nah, bruh. ''Classic'' Steven. :'''Steven''': ''Classic Steven''?! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl gets tagged in Garnet and Amethyst's new game of Steven Tag]'' :'''Steven''': Ha! Joke's on you! Pearl doesn't shapeshift! ''[Pearl starts to glow]'' Huh? :'''Pearl''': ''[shapeshifts into Steven]'' THE POWER OF STEVEN TAG COMPELS ME! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Wow. Good for her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It was a snowman... ''[takes off her visor]'' with Steven's jacket. NOOOOOO! :'''Steven''': ''[shivering]'' They'll never stop until they make me play. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I ''JOIN'' THE GAME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You shouldn't have messed with me. Huh? ''[gets tagged by Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Tag. :'''Steven''': ''[falls off the lighthouse]'' Oh, no. Is this the end of my adult life? ===''Why So Blue?''=== :'''Steven''' You're right. This is harder than usual. :'''Lapis''': You've just got to force them to stop. This is going to be a fight. They're not nice like me. :'''Steven''': Umm... :'''Lapis''': Exactly. :'''Steven''': They just don't understand that they're doing harm. Y-you get it. What made it click for you? :'''Lapis''': ''A cycle of horrible torture.'' ''[smiling]'' But other than that, living in nature, getting creative. :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, we can do that for them. :'''Lapis''': Okay. Just a little torture. :'''Steven''': N-no, just the other stuff. :'''Lapis''': ''[sighs]'' Fine, we'll try it your way. :''[They head back to the two Lapis Lazulis]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, so, why don't we explore the many things that you can do that don't involve destroying worlds? :'''"Mean" Lapis''': Should we listen to him? :'''"Nice" Lapis''': He is half-Diamond. Maybe, we should half-listen. :'''Steven''': I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go. ===''Little Graduation''=== :'''Lars''': ''[about Shep]'' Say hi to them for me. ===''Prickly Pair''=== :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't tell Pearl how I feel, 'cause she'd blame herself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't hear any more high and mighty advice from Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I'm so sick of Amethyst acting like she's so mature now! :'''Amethyst''': Why's it being so weirdly specific? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Hey, dude? :'''Pearl''': Is there anything you need to talk about? :'''Steven''': ''[softly]'' ... I think I've said enough. ===''In Dreams''=== :''[After Steven and Peridot have watched the'' Camp Pining Hearts ''reboot]'' :'''Steven''': Wha…? Wha…?! :'''Steven and Peridot''': '''''WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?''''' :'''Peridot''': What is with this Rodrigo guy?! He has no charisma! :'''Steven''': And can we talk about this cinematography?! :'''Peridot''': GAAAH, THEY'VE CHANGED ''ALL'' THE CHARACTERS, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEM! ''[grabs the television]'' HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! ''[sobs] Camp Pining Hearts'' helped me escape when everything around me was in chaos... :'''Steven''': ''CPH'' brought us together... :'''Peridot''': And now, LOOK AT THIS NIGHTMARE! ''[the TV suddenly shows Steven's dream]'' Steven?! You didn't tell me that they cast you! :'''Steven''': What?! They didn't. I-Is this... my dream from last night? ''[on the TV, after Steven falls and the dream ends, it goes back to'' Camp Pining Hearts ''again]'' Whoa! My- My powers must be interfering with the TV signal! :'''Peridot''': ''[delighted]'' Steven! Do you know what this means?! :'''Steven''': I have to start wearing a tinfoil hat? :'''Peridot''': No! It means that if we can put your dreams on the television, we can reboot the reboot! :'''Steven''': "Reboot the...?" Peridot, you're a genius! :'''Peridot''': I know. :'''Steven''': And, well, it might be fun to fix something that isn't the entire universe. :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs him with one arm]'' This is going to be the beginning of Peridot and Steven Productions! :'''Steven''': Yeah-- whoa! ''[topples onto her]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Peridot! We've always had something to fix together - the Cluster, the Diamonds, or Spinel! I don't think I know how to be a friend without something to fix! But I... I just can't do it anymore! I'm so tired... Now I'm even doing it in my dreams! I'm sorry, I can't do this for you. Please don't leave! Don't... leave! :''[The dream stops, in the manner of a TV turning off; Steven awakens, in tears, to Peridot's concerned voice]'' :'''Peridot''': Steven? Steven! STEVEN! Steven, I saw everything! It's-- It's fine! We don't have to do this anymore. ''[hugs him and starts tearing up]'' I don't care about the show, and I ''definitely'' don't care about Rodrigo! Hrrrgh, I'm such a clod! :'''Steven''': But I really wanted to spend time with you! I just... wanted an excuse to hang out. :'''Peridot''': We don't need an excuse to hang out. :'''Steven''': Can... we still watch ''CPH'' together? Even if it sucks? :'''Peridot''': ''[removes her visor to wipe her eyes, and smiles]'' Of course. :''[Later, they watch the show]'' :'''Jasmine''': ''[in the show, angrily]'' How could you lie to me like that, Rodrigo?! I guess you just can't help being a bad person! :''[Steven and Peridot laugh]'' :'''Peridot''': Jasmine, you just ''buried a body in the woods'', and now you're mad that Rodrigo cheated at ''cards?!'' :''[They laugh again]'' :'''Peridot''': This show is the worst! :'''Steven''': ''[smiling warmly at her]'' This show is the best. ===''Bismuth Casual''=== :''[At the Starlight Roller Rink]'' :'''Bismuth''': Woooow! So you mean to tell me people pay to have wheels strapped to their feet for fun? That is really something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patricia''': You should have seen Daniel earlier. He was all bent out of shape 'cos his mom tore into him over his last test scores! :'''Daniel''': ''[groans]'' You know, I kind of forgot about it for a sec. :'''Steven''': Heh... I know how that is. One time, White Diamond tore into me... literally! ''[laughs awkwardly]'' She, uh, she took my gem - I'm part Gem, by the way - she pulled it right out of my body. :'''Daniel''': Okay...? :'''Patricia''': So what grade are you in, Steven? :'''Steven''': Grade? Err, uh... sixteen? :'''Patricia''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Daniel''': So you're taking AP classes? :'''Steven''': Uh... :'''Connie''': Y'all ready to skate? :'''Patricia''': Heck, yeah! :''[Connie, Patricia and Daniel skate away]'' :'''Steven''': I really blew that one. Bet if they were enemy Gems, we'd be best friends by now. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl forms a roll of toilet paper from her gem and gives it to Bismuth]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, here, take this. Every human has at least one of these in their homes. Sometimes they even use it ''[secretively]'' for vandalism! Good luck out there! ''[starts skating away]'' :'''Bismuth''': Wait, where are you going? :'''Pearl''': You don't need me anymore, Bismuth - the humans already love you! I'm going to make some new connections of my own! ''[to a random skater]'' Hello, fellow skater! Would you like a fresh roll? ''[forms another roll]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight. Now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I'm even her best friend anymore... :'''Bismuth''': ''[pounds the table firmly]'' How long has this been going on? :'''Steven''': Err... couple of months. :'''Bismuth''': Listen, Steven. Pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but Connie came here to be with ''you.'' You've got nothing to mope about. :'''Steven''': But her friends think I'm weird. :'''Bismuth''': Of course you're weird! You're a Crystal Gem! Connie knows that, she's always known that! That never stopped you from being friends! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven collapses in the rink]'' :'''Connie''': Steven! Are you okay? :'''Steven''': Connie, I'm sorry... I don't wanna hold you back. :'''Connie''': I don't mind. :'''Steven''': You've got school, new friends, you're going places and... I'm happy for you. But I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect, but... BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SKATE! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven and Connie win the skating contest as Stevonnie]'' :'''Patricia''': Steven, Connie, that was amazing! :'''Daniel''': What the heck was that out there? :'''Connie''': Oh, fusion? Yeah, that's kind of our thing. :'''Steven''': It's something I picked up from my mom's side of the family. :'''Daniel''': The only thing I get from my mom's side of the family is ''stressed out.'' :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Same... ===''Together Forever''=== :''[After Connie turns down Steven's proposal]'' :'''Steven''': I don't get it. Ruby and Sapphire said I should go for it. :'''Garnet''': You can't trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. :'''Steven''': Then why didn't you stop me? :'''Garnet''': There was no future where you didn't propose to Connie. :'''Steven''': Of course... :'''Garnet''': ''[hugs him]'' Your soulmate is your complement, not your missing piece. Ruby and Sapphire love being together, but they each have their own individual lives. Whatever hole there is in your life, Steven, I want you to understand that Connie-Stevonnie won't be able to fill it. ===''Growing Pains''=== :'''Priyanka''': Steven, do you remember anything bad in your childhood that particularly stuck with you? :'''Steven''': I guess…I kind of freaked out when they [[w:Gem Glow|cancelled my favorite ice cream]]. And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster. And I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned. I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats. I almost turned so old I died. Amethyst almost died. Pearl [[w:Steven the Sword Fighter|''did'' die]]. Garnet got destabilized right in front of me. I woke up with a black eye, [[w:Jail Break (Steven Universe)|imprisoned on a spaceship]]-- :'''Priyanka''': Steven, this is serious. :'''Steven''': But that was just the early stuff. :'''Priyanka''': I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger. :'''Steven''': But, why am I only swelling up now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Come on, Steven, talk to me. :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I... well... I, um... I proposed to Connie! :'''Greg''': You what?! :'''Steven''': She said no. :'''Greg''': Oh, Steven... :'''Steven''': My body... it's reacting like it's the end of the world. I think I've seen the world almost end so many times now that ''everything'' that goes wrong feels that... that extreme! I should be feeling so good these days! The Earth is safe, it's Era 3... But I'm swelling up over these third era problems! What do I do? How do I move on from all the stuff I've been through? How do I live life if it always feels like I'm about to die?! :'''Greg''': It's gonna be all right, Stewball. I'm here for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I guess I thought I could just follow Connie to college, like if we got married I'd know what to do with myself. But I'm the one that's gotta figure that stuff out. :'''Greg''': Cut yourself some slack! It's okay to be worried and make some mistakes when you're figuring out what to do with your life. That's not unusual. Uh, well, the magic swelling is a little unusual, but that's okay too! If you want to be a giant boy, we can use the car wash as a shower. === ''Mr. Universe'' === :'''Steven''': I don't need this song! I need...I need what you had! :'''Greg''': What? :'''Steven''': I wish I could've grown up at a house like that. :'''Greg''': No you don't! :'''Steven''': Maybe your parents weren't so bad. Maybe they gave you curfews and chaperones and meatloaf f-for a reason! :'''Greg''': Steven, you don't know what they were like! :'''Steven''': They can't be worse then mom's family. I went halfway across the galaxy for them, and this was right here?! :'''Greg''': Steven, I couldn't do anything growing up. Everything I liked, or wore, wanted was always wrong! Trust me, you're better off then I was. :'''Steven''': I can't believe I never realized, you're... you're just like Mom! ''[turns pink as his grip tightens on the steering wheel]'' :'''Greg''': You grew up with actual freedom! :'''Steven''': I grew up in a ''van!'' I never went to school! I've never been to the doctor until two days ago! :'''Greg''': Steven! You're a gem! You're not like other kids! :'''Steven''': I could have done all that stuff! My problem isn't that I'm a gem, my problem is that I'm a ''UNIVERSE!!'' ===''Fragments''=== :'''Pearl''': How could this happen? You crashed the van with Greg inside? You know how fragile he is, these pink outbursts of yours are getting out of hand. :'''Steven''': It's not an ''[turns pink]'' OUTBURST! :'''Pearl''': See? This is exactly what I'm talking about! What's happening to you? :'''Steven''': Nothing! ...It's nothing. :'''Pearl''': S-Steven! Where are you going?! We're not pro- ''[Steven summons out a generated force field]'' Steven! Drop this wall! :'''Steven''': Pearl, sorry. I'm trying- I just… need… some space, OK? I'll be in my room. :'''Amethyst''': Not so fast, my dude. You gotta tell us what's going on. :'''Garnet''': It looks like Steven is trying to avoid a serious discussion about this ''all'' together. :'''Steven''': '''NO, I'M''' <big>'''NOT!!!'''</big> ''[slams his fist into the stairs, unleashing a room-wrecking shockwave]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you have got to calm down and talk to us! :'''Amethyst''': Just chill, man! :'''Steven''': Nnghh… :'''Pearl''': We need to do something about this before someone gets hurt! :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… :'''Garnet''': Don't let this power control you. You're better than this. :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… <big><big>'''''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!'''''</big></big> ''[notices the Gems are walking in slow-motion]'' I'm…speeding up again. I gotta get out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This thing with my powers is a real problem! :'''Jasper''': The only problem you have are your friends. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Jasper''': Can't you see they're holding you back? :'''Steven''': What? No, they're-- they're just worried about me. :'''Jasper''': They're afraid. Of your power. :'''Steven''': Yeah... yeah, I guess so... :'''Jasper''': You are too. You came all the way out here to hide from it. But ''I'm'' not here to hide. I don't stifle my anger or my power; I channel it into training! :'''Steven''': Oh, right... this destroyed forest. :'''Jasper''': I've got no one to serve, nowhere to go. All I have left is '''''POWER!''' [she punches a tree, completely smashing it apart]'' And in order to control that power, I have to ''use'' it. Those so-called "friends" of yours don't understand. They want you to feel bad for being yourself. :'''Steven''': I ''do'' feel bad… ''[steps over to another tree and punches it, cringing in pain and remorse]'' :'''Jasper''': YEAH, DESTROY THAT WEAKLING TREE! :'''Steven''': No! ''[kisses the tree, healing it and making grass sprout around it]'' :'''Jasper''': Ugh! Gross! That's disgusting! Bleh! No! The grass! ''[tears at it]'' Get outta here! ''[grabs Steven]'' Quit helping the local ecosystem recover! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Steven's new, more muscular form]'' :'''Jasper''': Hm. Not bad for three days of work. ''[Steven kisses one of his biceps]'' I didn't teach you that… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jasper''': What are you holding back for?! You think I can't take it? I'm not gonna coddle you, Steven! Do you wanna go home to your gems? :'''Steven''': No… :'''Jasper''': Are you afraid to be strong? Are you pathetic? Are you ''weak?'' :'''Steven''': <big>'''''I'M NOT!!!!!!!'''''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're right, Jasper. I ''have'' been holding back. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Having shattered Jasper after losing control in their rematch, Steven hurries back to his bathroom and dips the fragments into Diamond aura potions]'' :'''Steven''': Please, please let this work! ''[crying]'' Jasper, I'm sorry. Please… come back. ''[his tears add Pink's aura to the mix]'' Please… :''[After a while, Jasper's gem glows and heals, and she reforms]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[panting]'' Huh? What? You... ''shattered'' me? :'''Steven''': Jasper! I-I'm so sorry, I should have stopped! I-I just wasn't thinking! :'''Jasper''': ''[steps out of the bathtub and bows on one knee]'' I bow to your strength… ''my Diamond.'' :'''Steven''': ''[horrified]'' No...! ===''Homeworld Bound''=== :'''Pearl''': ''[knocks on the bathroom door]'' Steven? :'''Amethyst''': What's going on in there? ''[Jasper emerges]'' Jasper?! :'''Pearl''': What are you-? :'''Amethyst''': Where's Steven?! :'''Jasper''': Right here. ''[steps aside, revealing him looking scared and depressed]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven? Where have you been?! :''[Steven walks off upstairs to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': You can't just disappear for days without telling us! :'''Jasper''': My Diamond can do has he pleases. :'''Amethyst''': Wait, what?! :'''Pearl''': Why are you calling him that?! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': Where is he going?! :''[The Gems follow Steven to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': Steven, wait! :'''Garnet''': You don't need to go. :''[Steven turns pink and puts a barrier in front of the Gems as he sighs]'' :'''Amethyst''': What the HECK?! :'''Steven''': You guys… I love you, but you ''can't'' help me anymore. I've been avoiding the only people in the entire universe who can. Please, don't follow me. You too, Jasper. Find something better to do with your life. :'''Garnet''': Steven! Remember, we'll always be your family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': STEVEN! ''[grabs him and kisses him]'' :'''Steven''': ''[turning pink]'' Spinel, what is wrong with you?! :'''Spinel''': Oh, y'know, the usual. :'''Steven''': ''[turning back to normal]'' So, how've you been since, err...? :'''Spinel''': Since I tried to kill you? That was so embarrassing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[controlling White Diamond]'' Whoa. This is… so weird. I'm-I'm, I'm a Diamond. This- This is the last thing I needed to see. I don't wanna be you! I don't wanna be anything like you! Why won't you just go '''AWAY?!''' ''[punches a pillar]'' Don't hurt me! She can't hurt me. I'm controlling her. So why am I so afraid? ''[flashes back to his memory of White pulling his gemstone out; scowls angrily]'' '''''She's''''' the one who should be afraid. :'''White Diamond''': ''[talking in Steven's voice]'' What's- what's going on? ''[Steven starts controlling her like a puppet]'' What? No, stop it. I don't like this! :'''Steven''': Too bad. ''[force controls White by walking toward a pillar]'' :'''White Diamond''': Let me go! ''[grabs hold of the pillar]'' Please! You're scaring me! :'''Steven''': This is for EVERYTHING you put me through! ''[forces White Diamond’s head to slam into the pillar, in an attempt to shatter her gemstone, instead, snaps them out of it and hits his own head, allowing White Diamond to regain her control again]'' :'''White Diamond''': ''[breathing; horrified]'' What… what ''was'' that?! :'''Steven''': I-I don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': Hey, buddy, where you going? :'''Steven''': Wait a second - ''you'' used to have vengeful thoughts! :'''Spinel''': ''[awkwardly]'' Ooooh, yeah... but I don't get 'em anymore. :'''Steven''': How did you make them stop? :'''Spinel''': I met a little someone named Steven Universe! And he told me: ''[singing]'' [[w:Steven Universe: The Movie|IIIIII, I can make a chaaaaange! You can make a promise...]] :'''Steven''': Gah! Don't give me my own advice! ===''Everything's Fine''=== :'''Steven''': Hey, Connie, what's up? :'''Connie''': Steven! Good, you finally picked up! I can't believe we haven't spoken since the hospital. How are you? :'''Steven''': I'm great! Never been better! :'''Connie''': Really? Have you had any more issues with swelling and glowing pink? :'''Steven''': Um... Nope? Well, maybe, but how about you? How's college prep? :'''Connie''': Steven, that's, uh- It's fine, but what do you mean, maybe? :'''Steven''': Look, there's nothing to worry about. I'm OK. :'''Connie''': Steven... :'''Steven''': I should go. I don't wanna wake up the Gems. :'''Connie''': But they don't even sleep! :'''Steven''': Uh, bye! <hr width="50%"/> :''[While trying to help in Bismuth's workshop]'' :'''Steven''': Ooh, look at that. Now you have ''two'' anvils. :'''Bismuth''': Noooo! My anvil! My beautiful anvil! :'''Steven''': Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, my work here is done. Well, toodles! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Connie''': I knew it! You ''are'' swelling and glowing again. I've been trying to call you, but I came as soon as I saw this. ''[holds out her phone, on which Steven, glowing and swelled up, is doing the plant Steven's dance and looping the message "Steven's here to help!"]'' What is going on? :'''Steven''': I... broadcast my subconscious sometimes these days. It's really no big deal. :'''Connie''': Okay, but... I can tell something is bothering you. ''[holds out her phone again; the message makes some statics]'' :'''Steven''': Ah, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine! Awesome, in fact. Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well. :'''Greg''': Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong- :'''Steven''': Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry. :'''Connie''': We ''are'' worried! :'''Greg''': Steven, you know you can tell us anything. :'''Steven''': It's not that easy! You know what? I don't have to deal with this! ''[walks towards the door, but Amethyst, Pearl, and Connie block his way]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hold up, dude. :'''Garnet''': Steven, you need to stop running. :'''Greg''': Please. :''[Steven starts groaning in frustration, his head briefly swelling out of shape]'' :'''Connie''': Steven, we should get you back to the hospital. :'''Amethyst and Pearl''': HOSPITAL?! :'''Pearl''': When were you in the hospital?! :'''Connie''': You didn't tell them?! :'''Steven''': ''[becoming hysterical, starting to laugh uneasily]'' It wasn't that important, you guys! You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today, I broke an anvil - what teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement, but that's practically a rite of passage! I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And ''maybe'' I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only ''actually'' shattered Jasper! :''[Pearl gasps in horrified shock]'' :'''Amethyst''': WHAT?! :''[Garnet, Connie, and Greg gasp]'' :'''Connie''': You're- you're joking, right? :'''Steven''': Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix ''anything!'' I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it! :'''Garnet''': Steven... :'''Steven''': ''[sighs as he finally loses it]'' How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long? You have ''no'' idea how bad I am! Y-You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do! But ''that's'' not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse! You all think of me as some angel, but I'm not that kid anymore! ''[close-up on his scowl]'' I'm a fraud. ''[falls to the floor as his breaths become shaky]'' I'm a fraud. I'm a MONSTER! ''[massive pink spikes burst out of his back, tearing his shirt with everyone taking a step back, with plain terror]'' ===''I Am My Monster''=== :'''Greg''': ''[calling out]'' Just calm down, son! Take deep breaths! Deep breaths! :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! Relax, buddy! :'''Peridot''': Let's hurry up and clobber that thing! :'''Garnet''': Stand down. :'''Peridot''': What for?! :'''Lapis''': Where's Steven? :'''Garnet''': That ''is'' Steven. :'''Peridot, Bismuth, & Lapis''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!''' :''[Monster Steven bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall]'' :'''Garnet''': RUN! :'''Amethyst''': He's not listening to us at all! :'''Pearl''': What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer and then he's turned into this...''thing''! :'''Connie''': We can change him back, can't we? :'''Garnet''': As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll ''stay'' one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Spinel''': ''[jumps out of the Diamond ship, holding Steven's flip flop]'' You forgot your foot thong thingy! ''[sees Steven as a monster]'' OOOH, OH! :''[The Diamonds walk out of the ship]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What is going on here? :'''White Diamond''': Why is something like this ''always'' happening when we show up for a visit? :'''Blue Diamond''': What is that thing? :'''Garnet''': That "thing" is Steven. :''[Blue, White Diamond, and Spinel gasp in shock]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': WHAT?! :'''White Diamond''': Impossible! :'''Blue Diamond''': Is he corrupted? :'''Yellow Diamond''': But how? :'''Garnet''': Never mind that. We have to change him back. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Leave it to me. ''[she catches Monster Steven's head in an energy aura and tries to shrink it down, only for it to revert back immediately, to her confusion]'' With my new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. :'''Blue Diamond''': He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. I can help with that. ''[she sends a cloud of joy towards Monster Steven, but he blows it right back]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Look out! ''[the cloud hits her and Spinel, and they start laughing uncontrollably]'' Wow! Your new power didn't work either! :'''White Diamond''': ''[pushes Yellow and Blue aside and approaches Monster Steven]'' Enough. I know exactly how to help. If I connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. Now then, do you hear me, Steven? ''[her gem glows and the atmosphere's colors change]'' Just relax and let me in… Wait-- ''[her eyes glow, and she cries out and falls back as Yellow and Blue catch her]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': White! :'''Blue Diamond''': What happened?! :'''White Diamond''': ''[horrified]'' That's ''not'' Steven anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Guys, look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back! :'''Peridot''': I can't believe it! He's even stronger than the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment! :'''Pearl''': Deep inside this…monster, Steven must be in there, so angry. :'''Amethyst''': I knew something was going on. I- Why didn't I ''do'' something?! :'''Sapphire''': ''[crying]'' If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this ''forever!'' ''[starts sobbing along with Ruby while Lapis watches]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''[to Greg as he takes a few steps back]'' Dude, you should get outta here before you get hurt! :'''Greg''': ''[stomps his foot]'' NO! Everytime Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is ''my'' son! And he's right to be angry, because I didn't protect him! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[tearing up; crying]'' You didn't protect him from us! He's like this because of us! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[crying]'' ''We're'' the source of Steven's suffering! :'''Spinel''': ''[breaks down, sobbing hysterically and blowing her nose into her pigtails]'' THIS IS ''MY'' FAULT! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying]'' Spinel, don't be silly. Everyone knows that all of this is because of ''me!'' :'''Spinel''': No, it's ME! I tried to wipe his friends' memories, so he would die alone on a barren world! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying and sobbing]'' That was because you were angry with Pink! And if Pink hurt you, it was because ''I'' hurt ''her!'' Like I hurt Yellow and Blue and Steven and everyone in the entire universe! This is all ''my'' fault! :'''Connie''': YES, it is! ''[rides in on Lion]'' Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs ''us'' this time! We all have Steven when we needed him. But the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's ''always'' been there for us, so… how can we be there for him now? :''[Ruby and Sapphire smile and fuse back into Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': I know how. :''[Monster Steven breaks free of the Cluster's hand, defeats it and charges at the beach]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay! No time to waste. Yellow, make me as big as him! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Right. :'''Garnet''': Blue, lift everyone up! :'''Blue Diamond''': Of course. :'''Garnet''': Everyone, get in line! :'''Greg''': You got it! :'''Garnet''': It's time to show Steven… some love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': ''[hugging her arms tightly around Monster Steven while he's struggling; calmly]'' Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for ''you'' now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. :'''Lapis''': This is working? You hear us? Steven! ''[comes and hugs him]'' :''[Everyone comes in for the hug too]'' :'''Greg''': I'm here, Schtu-Ball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?! :'''Peridot''': Steven! You never gave up on me for some reasons I don't understand! I'll do the same for you! :'''Amethyst''': I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but… it's possible, man! :'''Pearl''': Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me! :''[Monster Steven stammers emotionally, and the Cluster's hand reappears and takes his]'' :'''Connie''': ''[jumps off Lion's head and lands on Monster Steven's nose, walks closer to his face and hugs him; sighs]'' Steven… you must have been ''so'' afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you took care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but… ''[kisses him with a pink droplet appearing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up, back to his normal human-self, still crying]'' Huh? ''[looks and sees everyone smiling at him]'' Wha…I… Did-Did I-I'm- ''[Lion pops up and licks him; chuckling]'' Lion. ''[hugs Lion]'' Lion! ''[begins sobbing, letting out his emotions]'' ===''The Future''=== :'''Jasper''': ''[bursts through the wall, staying aloof]'' Heard you’re leaving. ''[faces at Steven]'' I’m coming with you! :'''Steven''': Jasper, I’m going ''alone.'' :'''Jasper''': Then who will protect you?! :'''Steven''': I can protect myself. :'''Jasper''': ''[sighs disappointingly, scowls]'' I know. ''[punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction]'' Farewell, my Diamond. ''[headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one, walks through it]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa! Even Jasper's more upset than my own family! <hr width="50%"> :'''Garnet''': I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked, and I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving. But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of ''all'' of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there – whenever you need us. We love you, Steven. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:American sequel TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated action TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated drama TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:LGBT-related animated TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows due to coronavirus pandemic]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about teenagers]] [[Category:TV shows about alien visitations]] [[Category:Steven Universe]] egda1d55s42lstnq900g6q4v8rihfhx 3147442 3147441 2022-07-26T14:50:18Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* The Future */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Steven Universe Future|Steven Universe Future]]''''' (2019–2020) is an animated limited series produced by [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as an epilogue for [[Steven Universe (season 5)|Season 5]] of ''[[Steven Universe]]'' and ''[[Steven Universe: The Movie]]''. ==Episodes== ===''Little Homeschool''=== :'''Steven''': ''[narrating]'' Life is a little different these days. The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror. The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet. We're all safe to explore our dreams. Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on. Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep. She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early. And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and I have been cooking up a dream of our own! :'''Cherry Quartz''': I have no idea who you're talking about. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling]'' Don't worry about it. You'll learn all that, and more, right here at Little Homeschool. ''[gives Cherry Quartz a tour around]'' Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like. You can forge a new identity. Grow your own ideas. And even find your inner Morp! :'''Cherry Quartz''': Wait, what's a "Morp"? :'''Steven''': That's ''exactly'' the kind of question we love to hear! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters. They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need. :'''Jasper''': So? Who cares? :'''Steven''': ''[angrily]'' I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster too! :'''Jasper''': And what? Now I owe you? :'''Steven''': No! :'''Jasper''': You think because you did something I never asked for, I'm going to ''obey'' you? :'''Steven''': No! That's not-- :'''Jasper''': Like all the other Gems you ''use.'' :'''Steven''': ''[frustrated]'' AGGGHHH! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault! All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but-- but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight! Which you ''LOST!'' To ''ME!'' No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere, ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! ''Because I'm trying to give you one!'' :'''Jasper''': Listen, weakling! You might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are ''not'' my Diamond, and I am ''not'' going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it. :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''Jasper''': ''[suddenly smiles eagerly]'' Really? Huh, well then! Why don't you throw the first punch? ''[beckons tauntingly, and Steven punches her, pushing her back a few feet]'' Ooohh...! ''[laughs aggressively and charges back at him]'' :'''Steven''': I... guess we're doing this. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During his fight with Jasper, Steven bubbles a nest of baby birds to protect them]'' :'''Jasper''': Stop trying to help those tiny flapping Earthlings, and ''FIGHT ME!'' :'''Steven''': I'll never stop trying to help them, or you! :'''Jasper''': ''[kicking his shield away and pinning him down]'' I don't need your help! ''You're'' the one that needs help! You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own! You've always been a fusion! You've always had your friends! Because you're nothing without them! You think everyone needs help! :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I-- I just-- :'''Jasper''': But ''it's only you. No one'' is as '''''pitiful''''' as '''''you!''''' :''[Shaken and angry, Steven starts to glow pink and pushes Jasper back with a sudden burst of strength, much to her surprise]'' :'''Steven''': ''[looking at himself]'' Whoa... what? ''[Jasper grins, and Steven angrily summons a bubble glove and charges at her with it]'' I'M... ''NOT''... PITIFUL! ''[sends her flying back through several trees]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' Ha. Not bad. ''[continues to fight Steven, who catches her in the middle of a spin-dash]'' Nice catch. :'''Steven''': You should see my ''THROW!'' ''[tosses her up into the air, where she laughs as he hits her several more times]'' STOP LAUGHING! ''[sends her slamming back down into the ground, then gasps in shock and returns to normal]'' Jasper... :'''Jasper''': ''[gets up and shakes herself off, impressed]'' Huh. I didn't think you had it in you. :'''Steven''': I don't... I don't know what that was. I'm sorry. :'''Jasper''': ''[rolling her eyes]'' Ugh! Don't apologize. :'''Steven''': I... think I had you all wrong. Maybe you don't have something to learn from me. Maybe I have something to learn from you. ''[Jasper raises an eyebrow]'' Would you ever be interested in teaching? :'''Jasper''': ''[scoffs]'' Tssh! At your crummy little school? :'''Steven''': No, just me. You brought something out of me I didn't know I had. :'''Jasper''': ''[walks up to Steven, placing a hand on his shoulder]'' Consider that fight back there your first and ''only'' lesson. ''[begins walking off]'' :'''Steven''': Well... can I come back to see you sometime? :'''Jasper''': Do what you want. ===''Guidance''=== :'''Larimar''': What is this wonderful noise? :'''Steven''': Those are the joyful screams of people on a roller coaster. :'''Larimar''': Human screams are my favorite of the Earth's delights. I want to hear the human screams forever. :'''Steven''': Okay, that's kind of troubling. But your heart is in the right place. :'''Larimar''': One day, I'll make ''you'' scream, Steven. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larimar''': I just wanted to say thanks for the amusement park job. I'm not great at the roller-coaster operation, we know, but I found out I'm good at handing out prizes to children, and I love their laughter. :'''Steven''': Aww. :'''Larimar''': It sounds just like screaming. ===''Rose Buds''=== :'''Holly Blue Agate''': Stop relaxing and get back to your posts! Ugh! How can you stand this total lack of order? :'''Amethyst Guard''': Chill out, Holly Blue. You know you want to. :'''Holly Blue Agate''' I give up. No one answers to me, and I answer to no one. I'd give anything for an order from the Diamonds, but all they talk about is Steven, Steven, Steven -- Steven! :'''Steven''': Hi, Holly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[seeing all of the Rose Quartzes being un-bubbled]'' So... Many... Rose Quartzes. How did the-- :'''Superfan Rose''': Oh, now that it's Era 3, we were all unbubbled, so now, we're making up for lost time. Hi! I'm Rose Quartz, and you, you're Steven! You are so much smaller than I imagined! Is it because you're half organic? Can you believe it, Rose Quartz?! :'''Hippie Rose''': It's like, we where bubbled, but now we're like, not bubbled. :'''Steven''': Th-It's really-- It's really great. ===''Volleyball''=== :'''Steven''': So, how would you like your magical spit administered today? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': Ah, geez, uh... the ''not'' kissing one? :'''Steven''': You got it! ''[licks his palm and applies healing spit onto the Ruby's gem, healing the crack]'' Man, what kind of enemies does the mayor have to keep you landing in my office? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': That's classified information, nurse-citizen Universe. :'''Steven''': Okay, well, try not to classify too hard out there. Oh, don't forget your lollipop! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Pink Pearl's cracked face]'' :'''Pearl''': How could White be so careless? :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, no, Pearl. You've got it all wrong. Pink did this. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' What did you say? ''[approaches her]'' :'''Steven''': Pearl, no...! :'''Pink Pearl''': It's a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn't fit to run one, and, well, that set her off. :'''Pearl''': "Set her off"? What are you talking about? :'''Pink Pearl''': You remember how she was, with her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right. She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn't mean to hurt me. ''[chuckles]'' I just happened to be standing too close to her that time, and-- :'''Steven''': ''[covering his ears anxiously]'' Doesn't matter! I'm gonna fix it! :'''Pearl''': Destructive powers?! Pink didn't have destructive powers, she was a healer! She didn't throw tantrums, she kept her feelings secret! :'''Pink Pearl''': The Pink I knew couldn't keep a secret to save her gem. :'''Pearl''': Are you kidding?! If anything, she was ''too'' good at keeping secrets, even from me! :''[Frustrated by their arguing, Steven furiously snaps and starts glowing pink]'' :'''Steven''': ''[lividly]'' ''STOP IT!'' I CAN'T DEAL WITH ''ONE MORE'' HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! ''[Both Pearls gasp]'' I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, I DON'T EVEN WANNA ''THINK'' ABOUT IT! :'''Pearl''': Steven! :'''Steven''': I JUST WANT TO '''''FIX IT!!!''''' :''[Steven unleashes a shockwave that causes cracks around the room. Pink Pearl cowers in fear, and Steven looks at his own reflection in shock and remorse]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry for not believing you. It looks like I'm still making excuses for her. :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[tearfully]'' Is that what ''I've'' been doing?! But... she didn't mean to! :'''Pearl''': But you were hurt! Badly hurt! :'''Pink Pearl''': I was badly hurt... How did ''you'' stop hurting? :'''Pearl''': ''[embraces her tightly]'' I didn't. :''[Pink Pearl returns the hug, and they fuse into Mega Pearl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm so sorry. The whole trip was for nothing. :'''Mega Pearl''': No, it wasn't for nothing. Your mother's Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other. :''[She separates into the two Pearls, peacefully holding hands]'' ===''Bluebird''=== :'''Steven''': Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys fused just because you hate me, didn't you? :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': Yes! :'''Steven Universe''': If that's the only reason, then it's no wonder you can't keep it together. :'''Aquamarine''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven Universe''': There are so many other reasons to fuse, like friendship and responsibility and... and love. Imagine how much better it would feel to fuse to support each other, instead of tearing someone down. Your life would fill with warmth and friendship and joy and love and-- :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': ''[covering her ears]'' Wowie, wow! He is ''so'' annoying! :'''Aquamarine''': I hate him so much! :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': I know! Me too! ''[they fuse back into Bluebird Azurite]'' :'''Steven''': Are you kidding me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm really sorry, Dad. I never should have given Bluebird a chance. :'''Greg''': I love how you believe in everyone. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. ===''A Very Special Episode''=== :'''Ocean Jasper''': I slip on the stairs? :'''Garnet''': Yes. You shatter on impact. :''[Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite scream]'' :'''Steven''': ''[enters through the door]'' Garnet, I'm here. :'''Garnet''': Steven, help. I think I'm scaring them. :'''Steven''': It's okay. We got this. Let's get this safety Geminar started with a very special guest speaker. :''[They both dance and fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Your rockin' pal Sunstone's here to shine. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Watch out, Sunstone. It's dangerous in here. :'''Sunstone''': Not if you practice home safety. Don't slip up. Clear objects off the stairs. Foul shot! Make sure you cover your trash, or you might attract wild animals. Come on. Let's go! Don't leave the water running, it could flood your house. Put protective covers on electrical outlets, especially when kids are around. And most importantly, turn off motion smoothing on your TV. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Wow, everything looks so much better! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven receives a call from Pearl, who he left to take care of Onion]'' :'''Steven''': ''[exhausted]'' Please, please have everything under control... :'''Pearl''': STEVEN! EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL! :'''Steven''': Yup... :'''Pearl''': It's getting really weird here! Steven, you were never like this, you were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you that! Aah! I... I can hear him, but I can't see him! I think he's in the walls! I don't know how he got there, and I don't know how to get him out! ''[call ends]'' :'''Steven''': ''[long gasp]'' Garnet, can you handle things on your own for a little bit? :'''Garnet''': No problem. Our students love me. ''[walks over to them]'' Let me tell you all the ways you can get hit by a car. :'''Steven''': Agh, Garnet! Forget it. I'll stay. I'll stay! :'''Pearl''': ''[in another call]'' STEVEN, THERE'S A SNAKE! :'''Steven''': Never mind! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Why play with sharp objects when you can play with my sharp wit? Crack jokes, not cookie jars, as I always say. Ha ha! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It's important to keep in mind that all these horrible things ''did'' happen to you in alternate timelines. Safety is fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Onion has led Garnet's students off a cliff]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, no! :'''Garnet''': Steven, quick! Sunstone can save them! :'''Steven''': Okay... ''[they fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Oh, yeah! :'''Pearl''': No! Let Rainbow save them! ''[fuses with Steven]'' :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': ''[showing his umbrella]'' I'll catch them with this! :'''Amethyst''': ''[rushing in]'' Hey, wait! ''I'' need Steven! :'''Steven''' ''[unfuses from Pearl]'' What is it, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': I just miss you, man! I haven't seen you for, like, eleven minutes! ===''Snow Day''=== :'''Amethyst''': ''[enters with fried eggs for eyes]'' You really gonna skip the most egg-ssential meal of the day? :'''Steven''': Of course not. I've got all my morning nutrients in this protein shake. :'''Amethyst''': ''[pokes yolk to leak]'' Dude, you're making me sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Man, you had a better work-life balance when the Diamonds were trying to destroy the planet. :'''Steven''': That was then. This is now. :'''Amethyst''': Hey, you know what we haven't done in a long time? ''[shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven]'' Steven Tag! :'''Steven''': Amethyst, what the heck?! :'''Amethyst''': You know the rules, buster. You get tagged, you have to turn into Steven. :'''Steven''': But I'm already Steven! :'''Amethyst''': Nah, bruh. ''Classic'' Steven. :'''Steven''': ''Classic Steven''?! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl gets tagged in Garnet and Amethyst's new game of Steven Tag]'' :'''Steven''': Ha! Joke's on you! Pearl doesn't shapeshift! ''[Pearl starts to glow]'' Huh? :'''Pearl''': ''[shapeshifts into Steven]'' THE POWER OF STEVEN TAG COMPELS ME! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Wow. Good for her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It was a snowman... ''[takes off her visor]'' with Steven's jacket. NOOOOOO! :'''Steven''': ''[shivering]'' They'll never stop until they make me play. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I ''JOIN'' THE GAME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You shouldn't have messed with me. Huh? ''[gets tagged by Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Tag. :'''Steven''': ''[falls off the lighthouse]'' Oh, no. Is this the end of my adult life? ===''Why So Blue?''=== :'''Steven''' You're right. This is harder than usual. :'''Lapis''': You've just got to force them to stop. This is going to be a fight. They're not nice like me. :'''Steven''': Umm... :'''Lapis''': Exactly. :'''Steven''': They just don't understand that they're doing harm. Y-you get it. What made it click for you? :'''Lapis''': ''A cycle of horrible torture.'' ''[smiling]'' But other than that, living in nature, getting creative. :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, we can do that for them. :'''Lapis''': Okay. Just a little torture. :'''Steven''': N-no, just the other stuff. :'''Lapis''': ''[sighs]'' Fine, we'll try it your way. :''[They head back to the two Lapis Lazulis]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, so, why don't we explore the many things that you can do that don't involve destroying worlds? :'''"Mean" Lapis''': Should we listen to him? :'''"Nice" Lapis''': He is half-Diamond. Maybe, we should half-listen. :'''Steven''': I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go. ===''Little Graduation''=== :'''Lars''': ''[about Shep]'' Say hi to them for me. ===''Prickly Pair''=== :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't tell Pearl how I feel, 'cause she'd blame herself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't hear any more high and mighty advice from Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I'm so sick of Amethyst acting like she's so mature now! :'''Amethyst''': Why's it being so weirdly specific? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Hey, dude? :'''Pearl''': Is there anything you need to talk about? :'''Steven''': ''[softly]'' ... I think I've said enough. ===''In Dreams''=== :''[After Steven and Peridot have watched the'' Camp Pining Hearts ''reboot]'' :'''Steven''': Wha…? Wha…?! :'''Steven and Peridot''': '''''WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?''''' :'''Peridot''': What is with this Rodrigo guy?! He has no charisma! :'''Steven''': And can we talk about this cinematography?! :'''Peridot''': GAAAH, THEY'VE CHANGED ''ALL'' THE CHARACTERS, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEM! ''[grabs the television]'' HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! ''[sobs] Camp Pining Hearts'' helped me escape when everything around me was in chaos... :'''Steven''': ''CPH'' brought us together... :'''Peridot''': And now, LOOK AT THIS NIGHTMARE! ''[the TV suddenly shows Steven's dream]'' Steven?! You didn't tell me that they cast you! :'''Steven''': What?! They didn't. I-Is this... my dream from last night? ''[on the TV, after Steven falls and the dream ends, it goes back to'' Camp Pining Hearts ''again]'' Whoa! My- My powers must be interfering with the TV signal! :'''Peridot''': ''[delighted]'' Steven! Do you know what this means?! :'''Steven''': I have to start wearing a tinfoil hat? :'''Peridot''': No! It means that if we can put your dreams on the television, we can reboot the reboot! :'''Steven''': "Reboot the...?" Peridot, you're a genius! :'''Peridot''': I know. :'''Steven''': And, well, it might be fun to fix something that isn't the entire universe. :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs him with one arm]'' This is going to be the beginning of Peridot and Steven Productions! :'''Steven''': Yeah-- whoa! ''[topples onto her]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Peridot! We've always had something to fix together - the Cluster, the Diamonds, or Spinel! I don't think I know how to be a friend without something to fix! But I... I just can't do it anymore! I'm so tired... Now I'm even doing it in my dreams! I'm sorry, I can't do this for you. Please don't leave! Don't... leave! :''[The dream stops, in the manner of a TV turning off; Steven awakens, in tears, to Peridot's concerned voice]'' :'''Peridot''': Steven? Steven! STEVEN! Steven, I saw everything! It's-- It's fine! We don't have to do this anymore. ''[hugs him and starts tearing up]'' I don't care about the show, and I ''definitely'' don't care about Rodrigo! Hrrrgh, I'm such a clod! :'''Steven''': But I really wanted to spend time with you! I just... wanted an excuse to hang out. :'''Peridot''': We don't need an excuse to hang out. :'''Steven''': Can... we still watch ''CPH'' together? Even if it sucks? :'''Peridot''': ''[removes her visor to wipe her eyes, and smiles]'' Of course. :''[Later, they watch the show]'' :'''Jasmine''': ''[in the show, angrily]'' How could you lie to me like that, Rodrigo?! I guess you just can't help being a bad person! :''[Steven and Peridot laugh]'' :'''Peridot''': Jasmine, you just ''buried a body in the woods'', and now you're mad that Rodrigo cheated at ''cards?!'' :''[They laugh again]'' :'''Peridot''': This show is the worst! :'''Steven''': ''[smiling warmly at her]'' This show is the best. ===''Bismuth Casual''=== :''[At the Starlight Roller Rink]'' :'''Bismuth''': Woooow! So you mean to tell me people pay to have wheels strapped to their feet for fun? That is really something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patricia''': You should have seen Daniel earlier. He was all bent out of shape 'cos his mom tore into him over his last test scores! :'''Daniel''': ''[groans]'' You know, I kind of forgot about it for a sec. :'''Steven''': Heh... I know how that is. One time, White Diamond tore into me... literally! ''[laughs awkwardly]'' She, uh, she took my gem - I'm part Gem, by the way - she pulled it right out of my body. :'''Daniel''': Okay...? :'''Patricia''': So what grade are you in, Steven? :'''Steven''': Grade? Err, uh... sixteen? :'''Patricia''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Daniel''': So you're taking AP classes? :'''Steven''': Uh... :'''Connie''': Y'all ready to skate? :'''Patricia''': Heck, yeah! :''[Connie, Patricia and Daniel skate away]'' :'''Steven''': I really blew that one. Bet if they were enemy Gems, we'd be best friends by now. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl forms a roll of toilet paper from her gem and gives it to Bismuth]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, here, take this. Every human has at least one of these in their homes. Sometimes they even use it ''[secretively]'' for vandalism! Good luck out there! ''[starts skating away]'' :'''Bismuth''': Wait, where are you going? :'''Pearl''': You don't need me anymore, Bismuth - the humans already love you! I'm going to make some new connections of my own! ''[to a random skater]'' Hello, fellow skater! Would you like a fresh roll? ''[forms another roll]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight. Now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I'm even her best friend anymore... :'''Bismuth''': ''[pounds the table firmly]'' How long has this been going on? :'''Steven''': Err... couple of months. :'''Bismuth''': Listen, Steven. Pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but Connie came here to be with ''you.'' You've got nothing to mope about. :'''Steven''': But her friends think I'm weird. :'''Bismuth''': Of course you're weird! You're a Crystal Gem! Connie knows that, she's always known that! That never stopped you from being friends! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven collapses in the rink]'' :'''Connie''': Steven! Are you okay? :'''Steven''': Connie, I'm sorry... I don't wanna hold you back. :'''Connie''': I don't mind. :'''Steven''': You've got school, new friends, you're going places and... I'm happy for you. But I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect, but... BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SKATE! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven and Connie win the skating contest as Stevonnie]'' :'''Patricia''': Steven, Connie, that was amazing! :'''Daniel''': What the heck was that out there? :'''Connie''': Oh, fusion? Yeah, that's kind of our thing. :'''Steven''': It's something I picked up from my mom's side of the family. :'''Daniel''': The only thing I get from my mom's side of the family is ''stressed out.'' :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Same... ===''Together Forever''=== :''[After Connie turns down Steven's proposal]'' :'''Steven''': I don't get it. Ruby and Sapphire said I should go for it. :'''Garnet''': You can't trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. :'''Steven''': Then why didn't you stop me? :'''Garnet''': There was no future where you didn't propose to Connie. :'''Steven''': Of course... :'''Garnet''': ''[hugs him]'' Your soulmate is your complement, not your missing piece. Ruby and Sapphire love being together, but they each have their own individual lives. Whatever hole there is in your life, Steven, I want you to understand that Connie-Stevonnie won't be able to fill it. ===''Growing Pains''=== :'''Priyanka''': Steven, do you remember anything bad in your childhood that particularly stuck with you? :'''Steven''': I guess…I kind of freaked out when they [[w:Gem Glow|cancelled my favorite ice cream]]. And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster. And I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned. I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats. I almost turned so old I died. Amethyst almost died. Pearl [[w:Steven the Sword Fighter|''did'' die]]. Garnet got destabilized right in front of me. I woke up with a black eye, [[w:Jail Break (Steven Universe)|imprisoned on a spaceship]]-- :'''Priyanka''': Steven, this is serious. :'''Steven''': But that was just the early stuff. :'''Priyanka''': I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger. :'''Steven''': But, why am I only swelling up now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Come on, Steven, talk to me. :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I... well... I, um... I proposed to Connie! :'''Greg''': You what?! :'''Steven''': She said no. :'''Greg''': Oh, Steven... :'''Steven''': My body... it's reacting like it's the end of the world. I think I've seen the world almost end so many times now that ''everything'' that goes wrong feels that... that extreme! I should be feeling so good these days! The Earth is safe, it's Era 3... But I'm swelling up over these third era problems! What do I do? How do I move on from all the stuff I've been through? How do I live life if it always feels like I'm about to die?! :'''Greg''': It's gonna be all right, Stewball. I'm here for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I guess I thought I could just follow Connie to college, like if we got married I'd know what to do with myself. But I'm the one that's gotta figure that stuff out. :'''Greg''': Cut yourself some slack! It's okay to be worried and make some mistakes when you're figuring out what to do with your life. That's not unusual. Uh, well, the magic swelling is a little unusual, but that's okay too! If you want to be a giant boy, we can use the car wash as a shower. === ''Mr. Universe'' === :'''Steven''': I don't need this song! I need...I need what you had! :'''Greg''': What? :'''Steven''': I wish I could've grown up at a house like that. :'''Greg''': No you don't! :'''Steven''': Maybe your parents weren't so bad. Maybe they gave you curfews and chaperones and meatloaf f-for a reason! :'''Greg''': Steven, you don't know what they were like! :'''Steven''': They can't be worse then mom's family. I went halfway across the galaxy for them, and this was right here?! :'''Greg''': Steven, I couldn't do anything growing up. Everything I liked, or wore, wanted was always wrong! Trust me, you're better off then I was. :'''Steven''': I can't believe I never realized, you're... you're just like Mom! ''[turns pink as his grip tightens on the steering wheel]'' :'''Greg''': You grew up with actual freedom! :'''Steven''': I grew up in a ''van!'' I never went to school! I've never been to the doctor until two days ago! :'''Greg''': Steven! You're a gem! You're not like other kids! :'''Steven''': I could have done all that stuff! My problem isn't that I'm a gem, my problem is that I'm a ''UNIVERSE!!'' ===''Fragments''=== :'''Pearl''': How could this happen? You crashed the van with Greg inside? You know how fragile he is, these pink outbursts of yours are getting out of hand. :'''Steven''': It's not an ''[turns pink]'' OUTBURST! :'''Pearl''': See? This is exactly what I'm talking about! What's happening to you? :'''Steven''': Nothing! ...It's nothing. :'''Pearl''': S-Steven! Where are you going?! We're not pro- ''[Steven summons out a generated force field]'' Steven! Drop this wall! :'''Steven''': Pearl, sorry. I'm trying- I just… need… some space, OK? I'll be in my room. :'''Amethyst''': Not so fast, my dude. You gotta tell us what's going on. :'''Garnet''': It looks like Steven is trying to avoid a serious discussion about this ''all'' together. :'''Steven''': '''NO, I'M''' <big>'''NOT!!!'''</big> ''[slams his fist into the stairs, unleashing a room-wrecking shockwave]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you have got to calm down and talk to us! :'''Amethyst''': Just chill, man! :'''Steven''': Nnghh… :'''Pearl''': We need to do something about this before someone gets hurt! :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… :'''Garnet''': Don't let this power control you.

I gotta get out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This thing with my powers is a real problem! :'''Jasper''': The only problem you have are your friends. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Jasper''': Can't you see they're holding you back? :'''Steven''': What? No, they're-- they're just worried about me. :'''Jasper''': They're afraid. Of your power. :'''Steven''': Yeah... yeah, I guess so... :'''Jasper''': You are too. You came all the way out here to hide from it. But ''I'm'' not here to hide. I don't stifle my anger or my power; I channel it into training! :'''Steven''': Oh, right... this destroyed forest. :'''Jasper''': I've got no one to serve, nowhere to go. All I have left is '''''POWER!''' [she punches a tree, completely smashing it apart]'' And in order to control that power, I have to ''use'' it. Those so-called "friends" of yours don't understand. They want you to feel bad for being yourself. :'''Steven''': I ''do'' feel bad… ''[steps over to another tree and punches it, cringing in pain and remorse]'' :'''Jasper''': YEAH, DESTROY THAT WEAKLING TREE! :'''Steven''': No! ''[kisses the tree, healing it and making grass sprout around it]'' :'''Jasper''': Ugh! Gross! That's disgusting! Bleh! No! The grass! ''[tears at it]'' Get outta here! ''[grabs Steven]'' Quit helping the local ecosystem recover! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Steven's new, more muscular form]'' :'''Jasper''': Hm. Not bad for three days of work. ''[Steven kisses one of his biceps]'' I didn't teach you that… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jasper''': What are you holding back for?! You think I can't take it? I'm not gonna coddle you, Steven! Do you wanna go home to your gems? :'''Steven''': No… :'''Jasper''': Are you afraid to be strong? Are you pathetic? Are you ''weak?'' :'''Steven''': <big>'''''I'M NOT!!!!!!!'''''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're right, Jasper. I ''have'' been holding back. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Having shattered Jasper after losing control in their rematch, Steven hurries back to his bathroom and dips the fragments into Diamond aura potions]'' :'''Steven''': Please, please let this work! ''[crying]'' Jasper, I'm sorry. Please… come back. ''[his tears add Pink's aura to the mix]'' Please… :''[After a while, Jasper's gem glows and heals, and she reforms]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[panting]'' Huh? What? You... ''shattered'' me? :'''Steven''': Jasper! I-I'm so sorry, I should have stopped! I-I just wasn't thinking! :'''Jasper''': ''[steps out of the bathtub and bows on one knee]'' I bow to your strength… ''my Diamond.'' :'''Steven''': ''[horrified]'' No...! ===''Homeworld Bound''=== :'''Pearl''': ''[knocks on the bathroom door]'' Steven? :'''Amethyst''': What's going on in there? ''[Jasper emerges]'' Jasper?! :'''Pearl''': What are you-? :'''Amethyst''': Where's Steven?! :'''Jasper''': Right here. ''[steps aside, revealing him looking scared and depressed]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven? Where have you been?! :''[Steven walks off upstairs to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': You can't just disappear for days without telling us! :'''Jasper''': My Diamond can do has he pleases. :'''Amethyst''': Wait, what?! :'''Pearl''': Why are you calling him that?! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': Where is he going?! :''[The Gems follow Steven to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': Steven, wait! :'''Garnet''': You don't need to go. :''[Steven turns pink and puts a barrier in front of the Gems as he sighs]'' :'''Amethyst''': What the HECK?! :'''Steven''': You guys… I love you, but you ''can't'' help me anymore. I've been avoiding the only people in the entire universe who can. Please, don't follow me. You too, Jasper. Find something better to do with your life. :'''Garnet''': Steven! Remember, we'll always be your family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': STEVEN! ''[grabs him and kisses him]'' :'''Steven''': ''[turning pink]'' Spinel, what is wrong with you?! :'''Spinel''': Oh, y'know, the usual. :'''Steven''': ''[turning back to normal]'' So, how've you been since, err...? :'''Spinel''': Since I tried to kill you? That was so embarrassing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[controlling White Diamond]'' Whoa. This is… so weird. I'm-I'm, I'm a Diamond. This- This is the last thing I needed to see. I don't wanna be you! I don't wanna be anything like you! Why won't you just go '''AWAY?!''' ''[punches a pillar]'' Don't hurt me! She can't hurt me. I'm controlling her. So why am I so afraid? ''[flashes back to his memory of White pulling his gemstone out; scowls angrily]'' '''''She's''''' the one who should be afraid. :'''White Diamond''': ''[talking in Steven's voice]'' What's- what's going on? ''[Steven starts controlling her like a puppet]'' What? No, stop it. I don't like this! :'''Steven''': Too bad. ''[force controls White by walking toward a pillar]'' :'''White Diamond''': Let me go! ''[grabs hold of the pillar]'' Please! You're scaring me! :'''Steven''': This is for EVERYTHING you put me through! ''[forces White Diamond’s head to slam into the pillar, in an attempt to shatter her gemstone, instead, snaps them out of it and hits his own head, allowing White Diamond to regain her control again]'' :'''White Diamond''': ''[breathing; horrified]'' What… what ''was'' that?! :'''Steven''': I-I don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': Hey, buddy, where you going? :'''Steven''': Wait a second - ''you'' used to have vengeful thoughts! :'''Spinel''': ''[awkwardly]'' Ooooh, yeah... but I don't get 'em anymore. :'''Steven''': How did you make them stop? :'''Spinel''': I met a little someone named Steven Universe! And he told me: ''[singing]'' [[w:Steven Universe: The Movie|IIIIII, I can make a chaaaaange! You can make a promise...]] :'''Steven''': Gah! Don't give me my own advice! ===''Everything's Fine''=== :'''Steven''': Hey, Connie, what's up? :'''Connie''': Steven! Good, you finally picked up! I can't believe we haven't spoken since the hospital. How are you? :'''Steven''': I'm great! Never been better! :'''Connie''': Really? Have you had any more issues with swelling and glowing pink? :'''Steven''': Um... Nope? Well, maybe, but how about you? How's college prep? :'''Connie''': Steven, that's, uh- It's fine, but what do you mean, maybe? :'''Steven''': Look, there's nothing to worry about. I'm OK. :'''Connie''': Steven... :'''Steven''': I should go. I don't wanna wake up the Gems. :'''Connie''': But they don't even sleep! :'''Steven''': Uh, bye! <hr width="50%"/> :''[While trying to help in Bismuth's workshop]'' :'''Steven''': Ooh, look at that. Now you have ''two'' anvils. :'''Bismuth''': Noooo! My anvil! My beautiful anvil! :'''Steven''': Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, my work here is done. Well, toodles! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Connie''': I knew it! You ''are'' swelling and glowing again. I've been trying to call you, but I came as soon as I saw this. ''[holds out her phone, on which Steven, glowing and swelled up, is doing the plant Steven's dance and looping the message "Steven's here to help!"]'' What is going on? :'''Steven''': I... broadcast my subconscious sometimes these days. It's really no big deal. :'''Connie''': Okay, but... I can tell something is bothering you. ''[holds out her phone again; the message makes some statics]'' :'''Steven''': Ah, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine! Awesome, in fact. Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well. :'''Greg''': Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong- :'''Steven''': Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry. :'''Connie''': We ''are'' worried! :'''Greg''': Steven, you know you can tell us anything. :'''Steven''': It's not that easy! You know what? I don't have to deal with this! ''[walks towards the door, but Amethyst, Pearl, and Connie block his way]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hold up, dude. :'''Garnet''': Steven, you need to stop running. :'''Greg''': Please. :''[Steven starts groaning in frustration, his head briefly swelling out of shape]'' :'''Connie''': Steven, we should get you back to the hospital. :'''Amethyst and Pearl''': HOSPITAL?! :'''Pearl''': When were you in the hospital?! :'''Connie''': You didn't tell them?! :'''Steven''': ''[becoming hysterical, starting to laugh uneasily]'' It wasn't that important, you guys! You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today, I broke an anvil - what teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement, but that's practically a rite of passage! I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And ''maybe'' I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only ''actually'' shattered Jasper! :''[Pearl gasps in horrified shock]'' :'''Amethyst''': WHAT?! :''[Garnet, Connie, and Greg gasp]'' :'''Connie''': You're- you're joking, right? :'''Steven''': Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix ''anything!'' I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it! :'''Garnet''': Steven... :'''Steven''': ''[sighs as he finally loses it]'' How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long? You have ''no'' idea how bad I am! Y-You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do! But ''that's'' not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse! You all think of me as some angel, but I'm not that kid anymore! ''[close-up on his scowl]'' I'm a fraud. ''[falls to the floor as his breaths become shaky]'' I'm a fraud. I'm a MONSTER! ''[massive pink spikes burst out of his back, tearing his shirt with everyone taking a step back, with plain terror]'' ===''I Am My Monster''=== :'''Greg''': ''[calling out]'' Just calm down, son! Take deep breaths! Deep breaths! :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! Relax, buddy! :'''Peridot''': Let's hurry up and clobber that thing! :'''Garnet''': Stand down. :'''Peridot''': What for?! :'''Lapis''': Where's Steven? :'''Garnet''': That ''is'' Steven. :'''Peridot, Bismuth, & Lapis''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!''' :''[Monster Steven bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall]'' :'''Garnet''': RUN! :'''Amethyst''': He's not listening to us at all! :'''Pearl''': What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer and then he's turned into this...''thing''! :'''Connie''': We can change him back, can't we? :'''Garnet''': As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll ''stay'' one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Spinel''': ''[jumps out of the Diamond ship, holding Steven's flip flop]'' You forgot your foot thong thingy! ''[sees Steven as a monster]'' OOOH, OH! :''[The Diamonds walk out of the ship]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What is going on here? :'''White Diamond''': Why is something like this ''always'' happening when we show up for a visit? :'''Blue Diamond''': What is that thing? :'''Garnet''': That "thing" is Steven. :''[Blue, White Diamond, and Spinel gasp in shock]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': WHAT?! :'''White Diamond''': Impossible! :'''Blue Diamond''': Is he corrupted? :'''Yellow Diamond''': But how? :'''Garnet''': Never mind that. We have to change him back. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Leave it to me. ''[she catches Monster Steven's head in an energy aura and tries to shrink it down, only for it to revert back immediately, to her confusion]'' With my new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. :'''Blue Diamond''': He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. I can help with that. ''[she sends a cloud of joy towards Monster Steven, but he blows it right back]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Look out! ''[the cloud hits her and Spinel, and they start laughing uncontrollably]'' Wow! Your new power didn't work either! :'''White Diamond''': ''[pushes Yellow and Blue aside and approaches Monster Steven]'' Enough. I know exactly how to help. If I connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. Now then, do you hear me, Steven? ''[her gem glows and the atmosphere's colors change]'' Just relax and let me in… Wait-- ''[her eyes glow, and she cries out and falls back as Yellow and Blue catch her]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': White! :'''Blue Diamond''': What happened?! :'''White Diamond''': ''[horrified]'' That's ''not'' Steven anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Guys, look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back! :'''Peridot''': I can't believe it! He's even stronger than the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment! :'''Pearl''': Deep inside this…monster, Steven must be in there, so angry. :'''Amethyst''': I knew something was going on. I- Why didn't I ''do'' something?! :'''Sapphire''': ''[crying]'' If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this ''forever!'' ''[starts sobbing along with Ruby while Lapis watches]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''[to Greg as he takes a few steps back]'' Dude, you should get outta here before you get hurt! :'''Greg''': ''[stomps his foot]'' NO! Everytime Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is ''my'' son! And he's right to be angry, because I didn't protect him! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[tearing up; crying]'' You didn't protect him from us! He's like this because of us! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[crying]'' ''We're'' the source of Steven's suffering! :'''Spinel''': ''[breaks down, sobbing hysterically and blowing her nose into her pigtails]'' THIS IS ''MY'' FAULT! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying]'' Spinel, don't be silly. Everyone knows that all of this is because of ''me!'' :'''Spinel''': No, it's ME! I tried to wipe his friends' memories, so he would die alone on a barren world! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying and sobbing]'' That was because you were angry with Pink! And if Pink hurt you, it was because ''I'' hurt ''her!'' Like I hurt Yellow and Blue and Steven and everyone in the entire universe! This is all ''my'' fault! :'''Connie''': YES, it is! ''[rides in on Lion]'' Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs ''us'' this time! We all have Steven when we needed him. But the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's ''always'' been there for us, so… how can we be there for him now? :''[Ruby and Sapphire smile and fuse back into Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': I know how. :''[Monster Steven breaks free of the Cluster's hand, defeats it and charges at the beach]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay! No time to waste. Yellow, make me as big as him! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Right. :'''Garnet''': Blue, lift everyone up! :'''Blue Diamond''': Of course. :'''Garnet''': Everyone, get in line! :'''Greg''': You got it! :'''Garnet''': It's time to show Steven… some love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': ''[hugging her arms tightly around Monster Steven while he's struggling; calmly]'' Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for ''you'' now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. :'''Lapis''': This is working? You hear us? Steven! ''[comes and hugs him]'' :''[Everyone comes in for the hug too]'' :'''Greg''': I'm here, Schtu-Ball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?! :'''Peridot''': Steven! You never gave up on me for some reasons I don't understand! I'll do the same for you! :'''Amethyst''': I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but… it's possible, man! :'''Pearl''': Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me! :''[Monster Steven stammers emotionally, and the Cluster's hand reappears and takes his]'' :'''Connie''': ''[jumps off Lion's head and lands on Monster Steven's nose, walks closer to his face and hugs him; sighs]'' Steven… you must have been ''so'' afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you took care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but… ''[kisses him with a pink droplet appearing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up, back to his normal human-self, still crying]'' Huh? ''[looks and sees everyone smiling at him]'' Wha…I… Did-Did I-I'm- ''[Lion pops up and licks him; chuckling]'' Lion. ''[hugs Lion]'' Lion! ''[begins sobbing, letting out his emotions]'' ===''The Future''=== :'''Jasper''': ''[bursts through the wall, staying aloof]'' Heard you’re leaving. ''[faces at Steven]'' I’m coming with you! :'''Steven''': Jasper, I’m going ''alone.'' :'''Jasper''': Then who will protect you?! :'''Steven''': I can protect myself. :'''Jasper''': ''[sighs disappointingly, scowls]'' I know. ''[punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction]'' Farewell, my Diamond. ''[headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one, walks through it]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa! Even Jasper's more upset than my own family! Maybe I need a round two? <hr width="50%"> :'''Garnet''': I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked, and I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving. But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of ''all'' of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there – whenever you need us. We love you, Steven. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:American sequel TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated action TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated drama TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:LGBT-related animated TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows due to coronavirus pandemic]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about teenagers]] [[Category:TV shows about alien visitations]] [[Category:Steven Universe]] b3dpp758ddv7xl04eetj91in0cipo5p 3147443 3147442 2022-07-26T14:51:40Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* Snow Day */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Steven Universe Future|Steven Universe Future]]''''' (2019–2020) is an animated limited series produced by [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as an epilogue for [[Steven Universe (season 5)|Season 5]] of ''[[Steven Universe]]'' and ''[[Steven Universe: The Movie]]''. ==Episodes== ===''Little Homeschool''=== :'''Steven''': ''[narrating]'' Life is a little different these days. The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror. The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet. We're all safe to explore our dreams. Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on. Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep. She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early. And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and I have been cooking up a dream of our own! :'''Cherry Quartz''': I have no idea who you're talking about. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling]'' Don't worry about it. You'll learn all that, and more, right here at Little Homeschool. ''[gives Cherry Quartz a tour around]'' Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like. You can forge a new identity. Grow your own ideas. And even find your inner Morp! :'''Cherry Quartz''': Wait, what's a "Morp"? :'''Steven''': That's ''exactly'' the kind of question we love to hear! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters. They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need. :'''Jasper''': So? Who cares? :'''Steven''': ''[angrily]'' I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster too! :'''Jasper''': And what? Now I owe you? :'''Steven''': No! :'''Jasper''': You think because you did something I never asked for, I'm going to ''obey'' you? :'''Steven''': No! That's not-- :'''Jasper''': Like all the other Gems you ''use.'' :'''Steven''': ''[frustrated]'' AGGGHHH! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault! All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but-- but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight! Which you ''LOST!'' To ''ME!'' No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere, ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! ''Because I'm trying to give you one!'' :'''Jasper''': Listen, weakling! You might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are ''not'' my Diamond, and I am ''not'' going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it. :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''Jasper''': ''[suddenly smiles eagerly]'' Really? Huh, well then! Why don't you throw the first punch? ''[beckons tauntingly, and Steven punches her, pushing her back a few feet]'' Ooohh...! ''[laughs aggressively and charges back at him]'' :'''Steven''': I... guess we're doing this. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During his fight with Jasper, Steven bubbles a nest of baby birds to protect them]'' :'''Jasper''': Stop trying to help those tiny flapping Earthlings, and ''FIGHT ME!'' :'''Steven''': I'll never stop trying to help them, or you! :'''Jasper''': ''[kicking his shield away and pinning him down]'' I don't need your help! ''You're'' the one that needs help! You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own! You've always been a fusion! You've always had your friends! Because you're nothing without them! You think everyone needs help! :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I-- I just-- :'''Jasper''': But ''it's only you. No one'' is as '''''pitiful''''' as '''''you!''''' :''[Shaken and angry, Steven starts to glow pink and pushes Jasper back with a sudden burst of strength, much to her surprise]'' :'''Steven''': ''[looking at himself]'' Whoa... what? ''[Jasper grins, and Steven angrily summons a bubble glove and charges at her with it]'' I'M... ''NOT''... PITIFUL! ''[sends her flying back through several trees]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' Ha. Not bad. ''[continues to fight Steven, who catches her in the middle of a spin-dash]'' Nice catch. :'''Steven''': You should see my ''THROW!'' ''[tosses her up into the air, where she laughs as he hits her several more times]'' STOP LAUGHING! ''[sends her slamming back down into the ground, then gasps in shock and returns to normal]'' Jasper... :'''Jasper''': ''[gets up and shakes herself off, impressed]'' Huh. I didn't think you had it in you. :'''Steven''': I don't... I don't know what that was. I'm sorry. :'''Jasper''': ''[rolling her eyes]'' Ugh! Don't apologize. :'''Steven''': I... think I had you all wrong. Maybe you don't have something to learn from me. Maybe I have something to learn from you. ''[Jasper raises an eyebrow]'' Would you ever be interested in teaching? :'''Jasper''': ''[scoffs]'' Tssh! At your crummy little school? :'''Steven''': No, just me. You brought something out of me I didn't know I had. :'''Jasper''': ''[walks up to Steven, placing a hand on his shoulder]'' Consider that fight back there your first and ''only'' lesson. ''[begins walking off]'' :'''Steven''': Well... can I come back to see you sometime? :'''Jasper''': Do what you want. ===''Guidance''=== :'''Larimar''': What is this wonderful noise? :'''Steven''': Those are the joyful screams of people on a roller coaster. :'''Larimar''': Human screams are my favorite of the Earth's delights. I want to hear the human screams forever. :'''Steven''': Okay, that's kind of troubling. But your heart is in the right place. :'''Larimar''': One day, I'll make ''you'' scream, Steven. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larimar''': I just wanted to say thanks for the amusement park job. I'm not great at the roller-coaster operation, we know, but I found out I'm good at handing out prizes to children, and I love their laughter. :'''Steven''': Aww. :'''Larimar''': It sounds just like screaming. ===''Rose Buds''=== :'''Holly Blue Agate''': Stop relaxing and get back to your posts! Ugh! How can you stand this total lack of order? :'''Amethyst Guard''': Chill out, Holly Blue. You know you want to. :'''Holly Blue Agate''' I give up. No one answers to me, and I answer to no one. I'd give anything for an order from the Diamonds, but all they talk about is Steven, Steven, Steven -- Steven! :'''Steven''': Hi, Holly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[seeing all of the Rose Quartzes being un-bubbled]'' So... Many... Rose Quartzes. How did the-- :'''Superfan Rose''': Oh, now that it's Era 3, we were all unbubbled, so now, we're making up for lost time. Hi! I'm Rose Quartz, and you, you're Steven! You are so much smaller than I imagined! Is it because you're half organic? Can you believe it, Rose Quartz?! :'''Hippie Rose''': It's like, we where bubbled, but now we're like, not bubbled. :'''Steven''': Th-It's really-- It's really great. ===''Volleyball''=== :'''Steven''': So, how would you like your magical spit administered today? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': Ah, geez, uh... the ''not'' kissing one? :'''Steven''': You got it! ''[licks his palm and applies healing spit onto the Ruby's gem, healing the crack]'' Man, what kind of enemies does the mayor have to keep you landing in my office? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': That's classified information, nurse-citizen Universe. :'''Steven''': Okay, well, try not to classify too hard out there. Oh, don't forget your lollipop! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Pink Pearl's cracked face]'' :'''Pearl''': How could White be so careless? :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, no, Pearl. You've got it all wrong. Pink did this. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' What did you say? ''[approaches her]'' :'''Steven''': Pearl, no...! :'''Pink Pearl''': It's a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn't fit to run one, and, well, that set her off. :'''Pearl''': "Set her off"? What are you talking about? :'''Pink Pearl''': You remember how she was, with her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right. She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn't mean to hurt me. ''[chuckles]'' I just happened to be standing too close to her that time, and-- :'''Steven''': ''[covering his ears anxiously]'' Doesn't matter! I'm gonna fix it! :'''Pearl''': Destructive powers?! Pink didn't have destructive powers, she was a healer! She didn't throw tantrums, she kept her feelings secret! :'''Pink Pearl''': The Pink I knew couldn't keep a secret to save her gem. :'''Pearl''': Are you kidding?! If anything, she was ''too'' good at keeping secrets, even from me! :''[Frustrated by their arguing, Steven furiously snaps and starts glowing pink]'' :'''Steven''': ''[lividly]'' ''STOP IT!'' I CAN'T DEAL WITH ''ONE MORE'' HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! ''[Both Pearls gasp]'' I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, I DON'T EVEN WANNA ''THINK'' ABOUT IT! :'''Pearl''': Steven! :'''Steven''': I JUST WANT TO '''''FIX IT!!!''''' :''[Steven unleashes a shockwave that causes cracks around the room.

It looks like I'm still making excuses for her. :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[tearfully]'' Is that what ''I've'' been doing?! But... she didn't mean to! :'''Pearl''': But you were hurt! Badly hurt! :'''Pink Pearl''': I was badly hurt... How did ''you'' stop hurting? :'''Pearl''': ''[embraces her tightly]'' I didn't. :''[Pink Pearl returns the hug, and they fuse into Mega Pearl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm so sorry. The whole trip was for nothing. :'''Mega Pearl''': No, it wasn't for nothing. Your mother's Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other. :''[She separates into the two Pearls, peacefully holding hands]'' ===''Bluebird''=== :'''Steven''': Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys fused just because you hate me, didn't you? :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': Yes! :'''Steven Universe''': If that's the only reason, then it's no wonder you can't keep it together. :'''Aquamarine''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven Universe''': There are so many other reasons to fuse, like friendship and responsibility and... and love. Imagine how much better it would feel to fuse to support each other, instead of tearing someone down. Your life would fill with warmth and friendship and joy and love and-- :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': ''[covering her ears]'' Wowie, wow! He is ''so'' annoying! :'''Aquamarine''': I hate him so much! :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': I know! Me too! ''[they fuse back into Bluebird Azurite]'' :'''Steven''': Are you kidding me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm really sorry, Dad. I never should have given Bluebird a chance. :'''Greg''': I love how you believe in everyone. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. ===''A Very Special Episode''=== :'''Ocean Jasper''': I slip on the stairs? :'''Garnet''': Yes. You shatter on impact. :''[Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite scream]'' :'''Steven''': ''[enters through the door]'' Garnet, I'm here. :'''Garnet''': Steven, help. I think I'm scaring them. :'''Steven''': It's okay. We got this. Let's get this safety Geminar started with a very special guest speaker. :''[They both dance and fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Your rockin' pal Sunstone's here to shine. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Watch out, Sunstone. It's dangerous in here. :'''Sunstone''': Not if you practice home safety. Don't slip up. Clear objects off the stairs. Foul shot! Make sure you cover your trash, or you might attract wild animals. Come on. Let's go! Don't leave the water running, it could flood your house. Put protective covers on electrical outlets, especially when kids are around. And most importantly, turn off motion smoothing on your TV. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Wow, everything looks so much better! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven receives a call from Pearl, who he left to take care of Onion]'' :'''Steven''': ''[exhausted]'' Please, please have everything under control... :'''Pearl''': STEVEN! EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL! :'''Steven''': Yup... :'''Pearl''': It's getting really weird here! Steven, you were never like this, you were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you that! Aah! I... I can hear him, but I can't see him! I think he's in the walls! I don't know how he got there, and I don't know how to get him out! ''[call ends]'' :'''Steven''': ''[long gasp]'' Garnet, can you handle things on your own for a little bit? :'''Garnet''': No problem. Our students love me. ''[walks over to them]'' Let me tell you all the ways you can get hit by a car. :'''Steven''': Agh, Garnet! Forget it. I'll stay. I'll stay! :'''Pearl''': ''[in another call]'' STEVEN, THERE'S A SNAKE! :'''Steven''': Never mind! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Why play with sharp objects when you can play with my sharp wit? Crack jokes, not cookie jars, as I always say. Ha ha! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It's important to keep in mind that all these horrible things ''did'' happen to you in alternate timelines. Safety is fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Onion has led Garnet's students off a cliff]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, no! :'''Garnet''': Steven, quick! Sunstone can save them! :'''Steven''': Okay... ''[they fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Oh, yeah! :'''Pearl''': No! Let Rainbow save them! ''[fuses with Steven]'' :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': ''[showing his umbrella]'' I'll catch them with this! :'''Amethyst''': ''[rushing in]'' Hey, wait! ''I'' need Steven! :'''Steven''' ''[unfuses from Pearl]'' What is it, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': I just miss you, man! I haven't seen you for, like, eleven minutes! ===''Snow Day''=== :'''Amethyst''': ''[enters with fried eggs for eyes]'' You really gonna skip the most egg-ssential meal of the day? :'''Steven''': Of course not. I've got all my morning nutrients in this protein shake. :'''Amethyst''': ''[pokes yolk to leak]'' Dude, you're making me sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Man, you had a better work-life balance when the Diamonds were trying to destroy the planet. :'''Steven''': That was then. This is now. :'''Amethyst''': Hey, you know what we haven't done in a long time? ''[shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven]'' Steven Tag! :'''Steven''': Amethyst, what the heck?! :'''Amethyst''': You know the rules, buster. You get tagged, you have to turn into Steven. :'''Steven''': But I'm already Steven! :'''Amethyst''': Nah, bruh. ''Classic'' Steven. :'''Steven''': ''Classic Steven?'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl gets tagged in Garnet and Amethyst's new game of Steven Tag]'' :'''Steven''': Ha! Joke's on you! Pearl doesn't shapeshift! ''[Pearl starts to glow]'' Huh? :'''Pearl''': ''[shapeshifts into Steven]'' The power of Steven Tag COMPELS ME! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Wow. Good for her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It was a snowman… ''[takes off her visor]'' with Steven's jacket. NOOOOOO! :'''Steven''': ''[shivering]'' They'll never stop until they make me play. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I ''JOIN'' THE GAME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You shouldn't have messed with me. Huh? ''[gets tagged by Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Tag. :'''Steven''': ''[falls off the lighthouse]'' Oh, no. Is this the end of my adult life? ===''Why So Blue?''=== :'''Steven''' You're right. This is harder than usual. :'''Lapis''': You've just got to force them to stop. This is going to be a fight. They're not nice like me. :'''Steven''': Umm... :'''Lapis''': Exactly. :'''Steven''': They just don't understand that they're doing harm. Y-you get it. What made it click for you? :'''Lapis''': ''A cycle of horrible torture.'' ''[smiling]'' But other than that, living in nature, getting creative. :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, we can do that for them. :'''Lapis''': Okay. Just a little torture. :'''Steven''': N-no, just the other stuff. :'''Lapis''': ''[sighs]'' Fine, we'll try it your way. :''[They head back to the two Lapis Lazulis]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, so, why don't we explore the many things that you can do that don't involve destroying worlds? :'''"Mean" Lapis''': Should we listen to him? :'''"Nice" Lapis''': He is half-Diamond. Maybe, we should half-listen. :'''Steven''': I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go. ===''Little Graduation''=== :'''Lars''': ''[about Shep]'' Say hi to them for me. ===''Prickly Pair''=== :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't tell Pearl how I feel, 'cause she'd blame herself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't hear any more high and mighty advice from Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I'm so sick of Amethyst acting like she's so mature now! :'''Amethyst''': Why's it being so weirdly specific? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Hey, dude? :'''Pearl''': Is there anything you need to talk about? :'''Steven''': ''[softly]'' ... I think I've said enough. ===''In Dreams''=== :''[After Steven and Peridot have watched the'' Camp Pining Hearts ''reboot]'' :'''Steven''': Wha…? Wha…?! :'''Steven and Peridot''': '''''WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?''''' :'''Peridot''': What is with this Rodrigo guy?! He has no charisma! :'''Steven''': And can we talk about this cinematography?! :'''Peridot''': GAAAH, THEY'VE CHANGED ''ALL'' THE CHARACTERS, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEM! ''[grabs the television]'' HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! ''[sobs] Camp Pining Hearts'' helped me escape when everything around me was in chaos... :'''Steven''': ''CPH'' brought us together... :'''Peridot''': And now, LOOK AT THIS NIGHTMARE! ''[the TV suddenly shows Steven's dream]'' Steven?! You didn't tell me that they cast you! :'''Steven''': What?! They didn't. I-Is this... my dream from last night? ''[on the TV, after Steven falls and the dream ends, it goes back to'' Camp Pining Hearts ''again]'' Whoa! My- My powers must be interfering with the TV signal! :'''Peridot''': ''[delighted]'' Steven! Do you know what this means?! :'''Steven''': I have to start wearing a tinfoil hat? :'''Peridot''': No! It means that if we can put your dreams on the television, we can reboot the reboot! :'''Steven''': "Reboot the...?" Peridot, you're a genius! :'''Peridot''': I know. :'''Steven''': And, well, it might be fun to fix something that isn't the entire universe. :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs him with one arm]'' This is going to be the beginning of Peridot and Steven Productions! :'''Steven''': Yeah-- whoa! ''[topples onto her]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Peridot! We've always had something to fix together - the Cluster, the Diamonds, or Spinel! I don't think I know how to be a friend without something to fix! But I... I just can't do it anymore! I'm so tired... Now I'm even doing it in my dreams! I'm sorry, I can't do this for you. Please don't leave! Don't... leave! :''[The dream stops, in the manner of a TV turning off; Steven awakens, in tears, to Peridot's concerned voice]'' :'''Peridot''': Steven? Steven! STEVEN! Steven, I saw everything! It's-- It's fine! We don't have to do this anymore. ''[hugs him and starts tearing up]'' I don't care about the show, and I ''definitely'' don't care about Rodrigo! Hrrrgh, I'm such a clod! :'''Steven''': But I really wanted to spend time with you! I just... wanted an excuse to hang out. :'''Peridot''': We don't need an excuse to hang out. :'''Steven''': Can... we still watch ''CPH'' together? Even if it sucks? :'''Peridot''': ''[removes her visor to wipe her eyes, and smiles]'' Of course. :''[Later, they watch the show]'' :'''Jasmine''': ''[in the show, angrily]'' How could you lie to me like that, Rodrigo?! I guess you just can't help being a bad person! :''[Steven and Peridot laugh]'' :'''Peridot''': Jasmine, you just ''buried a body in the woods'', and now you're mad that Rodrigo cheated at ''cards?!'' :''[They laugh again]'' :'''Peridot''': This show is the worst! :'''Steven''': ''[smiling warmly at her]'' This show is the best. ===''Bismuth Casual''=== :''[At the Starlight Roller Rink]'' :'''Bismuth''': Woooow! So you mean to tell me people pay to have wheels strapped to their feet for fun? That is really something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patricia''': You should have seen Daniel earlier. He was all bent out of shape 'cos his mom tore into him over his last test scores! :'''Daniel''': ''[groans]'' You know, I kind of forgot about it for a sec. :'''Steven''': Heh... I know how that is. One time, White Diamond tore into me... literally! ''[laughs awkwardly]'' She, uh, she took my gem - I'm part Gem, by the way - she pulled it right out of my body. :'''Daniel''': Okay...? :'''Patricia''': So what grade are you in, Steven? :'''Steven''': Grade? Err, uh... sixteen? :'''Patricia''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Daniel''': So you're taking AP classes? :'''Steven''': Uh... :'''Connie''': Y'all ready to skate? :'''Patricia''': Heck, yeah! :''[Connie, Patricia and Daniel skate away]'' :'''Steven''': I really blew that one. Bet if they were enemy Gems, we'd be best friends by now. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl forms a roll of toilet paper from her gem and gives it to Bismuth]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, here, take this. Every human has at least one of these in their homes. Sometimes they even use it ''[secretively]'' for vandalism! Good luck out there! ''[starts skating away]'' :'''Bismuth''': Wait, where are you going? :'''Pearl''': You don't need me anymore, Bismuth - the humans already love you! I'm going to make some new connections of my own! ''[to a random skater]'' Hello, fellow skater! Would you like a fresh roll? ''[forms another roll]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight. Now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I'm even her best friend anymore... :'''Bismuth''': ''[pounds the table firmly]'' How long has this been going on? :'''Steven''': Err... couple of months. :'''Bismuth''': Listen, Steven. Pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but Connie came here to be with ''you.'' You've got nothing to mope about. :'''Steven''': But her friends think I'm weird. :'''Bismuth''': Of course you're weird! You're a Crystal Gem! Connie knows that, she's always known that! That never stopped you from being friends! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven collapses in the rink]'' :'''Connie''': Steven! Are you okay? :'''Steven''': Connie, I'm sorry... I don't wanna hold you back. :'''Connie''': I don't mind. :'''Steven''': You've got school, new friends, you're going places and... I'm happy for you. But I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect, but... BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SKATE! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven and Connie win the skating contest as Stevonnie]'' :'''Patricia''': Steven, Connie, that was amazing! :'''Daniel''': What the heck was that out there? :'''Connie''': Oh, fusion? Yeah, that's kind of our thing. :'''Steven''': It's something I picked up from my mom's side of the family. :'''Daniel''': The only thing I get from my mom's side of the family is ''stressed out.'' :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Same... ===''Together Forever''=== :''[After Connie turns down Steven's proposal]'' :'''Steven''': I don't get it. Ruby and Sapphire said I should go for it. :'''Garnet''': You can't trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. :'''Steven''': Then why didn't you stop me? :'''Garnet''': There was no future where you didn't propose to Connie. :'''Steven''': Of course... :'''Garnet''': ''[hugs him]'' Your soulmate is your complement, not your missing piece. Ruby and Sapphire love being together, but they each have their own individual lives. Whatever hole there is in your life, Steven, I want you to understand that Connie-Stevonnie won't be able to fill it. ===''Growing Pains''=== :'''Priyanka''': Steven, do you remember anything bad in your childhood that particularly stuck with you? :'''Steven''': I guess…I kind of freaked out when they [[w:Gem Glow|cancelled my favorite ice cream]]. And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster. And I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned. I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats. I almost turned so old I died. Amethyst almost died. Pearl [[w:Steven the Sword Fighter|''did'' die]]. Garnet got destabilized right in front of me. I woke up with a black eye, [[w:Jail Break (Steven Universe)|imprisoned on a spaceship]]-- :'''Priyanka''': Steven, this is serious. :'''Steven''': But that was just the early stuff. :'''Priyanka''': I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger. :'''Steven''': But, why am I only swelling up now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Come on, Steven, talk to me. :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I... well... I, um... I proposed to Connie! :'''Greg''': You what?! :'''Steven''': She said no. :'''Greg''': Oh, Steven... :'''Steven''': My body... it's reacting like it's the end of the world. I think I've seen the world almost end so many times now that ''everything'' that goes wrong feels that... that extreme! I should be feeling so good these days! The Earth is safe, it's Era 3... But I'm swelling up over these third era problems! What do I do? How do I move on from all the stuff I've been through? How do I live life if it always feels like I'm about to die?! :'''Greg''': It's gonna be all right, Stewball. I'm here for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I guess I thought I could just follow Connie to college, like if we got married I'd know what to do with myself. But I'm the one that's gotta figure that stuff out. :'''Greg''': Cut yourself some slack! It's okay to be worried and make some mistakes when you're figuring out what to do with your life. That's not unusual. Uh, well, the magic swelling is a little unusual, but that's okay too! If you want to be a giant boy, we can use the car wash as a shower. === ''Mr. Universe'' === :'''Steven''': I don't need this song! I need...I need what you had! :'''Greg''': What? :'''Steven''': I wish I could've grown up at a house like that. :'''Greg''': No you don't! :'''Steven''': Maybe your parents weren't so bad. Maybe they gave you curfews and chaperones and meatloaf f-for a reason! :'''Greg''': Steven, you don't know what they were like! :'''Steven''': They can't be worse then mom's family. I went halfway across the galaxy for them, and this was right here?! :'''Greg''': Steven, I couldn't do anything growing up. Everything I liked, or wore, wanted was always wrong! Trust me, you're better off then I was. :'''Steven''': I can't believe I never realized, you're... you're just like Mom! ''[turns pink as his grip tightens on the steering wheel]'' :'''Greg''': You grew up with actual freedom! :'''Steven''': I grew up in a ''van!'' I never went to school! I've never been to the doctor until two days ago! :'''Greg''': Steven! You're a gem! You're not like other kids! :'''Steven''': I could have done all that stuff! My problem isn't that I'm a gem, my problem is that I'm a ''UNIVERSE!!'' ===''Fragments''=== :'''Pearl''': How could this happen? You crashed the van with Greg inside? You know how fragile he is, these pink outbursts of yours are getting out of hand. :'''Steven''': It's not an ''[turns pink]'' OUTBURST! :'''Pearl''': See? This is exactly what I'm talking about! What's happening to you? :'''Steven''': Nothing! ...It's nothing. :'''Pearl''': S-Steven! Where are you going?! We're not pro- ''[Steven summons out a generated force field]'' Steven! Drop this wall! :'''Steven''': Pearl, sorry. I'm trying- I just… need… some space, OK? I'll be in my room. :'''Amethyst''': Not so fast, my dude. You gotta tell us what's going on. :'''Garnet''': It looks like Steven is trying to avoid a serious discussion about this ''all'' together. :'''Steven''': '''NO, I'M''' <big>'''NOT!!!'''</big> ''[slams his fist into the stairs, unleashing a room-wrecking shockwave]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you have got to calm down and talk to us! :'''Amethyst''': Just chill, man! :'''Steven''': Nnghh… :'''Pearl''': We need to do something about this before someone gets hurt! :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… :'''Garnet''': Don't let this power control you.

No, they're-- they're just worried about me. :'''Jasper''': They're afraid. Of your power. :'''Steven''': Yeah... yeah, I guess so... :'''Jasper''': You are too. You came all the way out here to hide from it. But ''I'm'' not here to hide. I don't stifle my anger or my power; I channel it into training! :'''Steven''': Oh, right... this destroyed forest. :'''Jasper''': I've got no one to serve, nowhere to go. All I have left is '''''POWER!''' [she punches a tree, completely smashing it apart]'' And in order to control that power, I have to ''use'' it. Those so-called "friends" of yours don't understand. They want you to feel bad for being yourself. :'''Steven''': I ''do'' feel bad… ''[steps over to another tree and punches it, cringing in pain and remorse]'' :'''Jasper''': YEAH, DESTROY THAT WEAKLING TREE! :'''Steven''': No! ''[kisses the tree, healing it and making grass sprout around it]'' :'''Jasper''': Ugh! Gross! That's disgusting! Bleh! No! The grass! ''[tears at it]'' Get outta here!

Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well. :'''Greg''': Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong- :'''Steven''': Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry. :'''Connie''': We ''are'' worried! :'''Greg''': Steven, you know you can tell us anything. :'''Steven''': It's not that easy! You know what? I don't have to deal with this! ''[walks towards the door, but Amethyst, Pearl, and Connie block his way]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hold up, dude. :'''Garnet''': Steven, you need to stop running. :'''Greg''': Please. :''[Steven starts groaning in frustration, his head briefly swelling out of shape]'' :'''Connie''': Steven, we should get you back to the hospital. :'''Amethyst and Pearl''': HOSPITAL?! :'''Pearl''': When were you in the hospital?! :'''Connie''': You didn't tell them?! :'''Steven''': ''[becoming hysterical, starting to laugh uneasily]'' It wasn't that important, you guys! You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today, I broke an anvil - what teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement, but that's practically a rite of passage! I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And ''maybe'' I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only ''actually'' shattered Jasper! :''[Pearl gasps in horrified shock]'' :'''Amethyst''': WHAT?! :''[Garnet, Connie, and Greg gasp]'' :'''Connie''': You're- you're joking, right? :'''Steven''': Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix ''anything!'' I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it! :'''Garnet''': Steven... :'''Steven''': ''[sighs as he finally loses it]'' How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long? You have ''no'' idea how bad I am! Y-You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do! But ''that's'' not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse! You all think of me as some angel, but I'm not that kid anymore! ''[close-up on his scowl]'' I'm a fraud. ''[falls to the floor as his breaths become shaky]'' I'm a fraud. I'm a MONSTER! ''[massive pink spikes burst out of his back, tearing his shirt with everyone taking a step back, with plain terror]'' ===''I Am My Monster''=== :'''Greg''': ''[calling out]'' Just calm down, son! Take deep breaths! Deep breaths! :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! Relax, buddy! :'''Peridot''': Let's hurry up and clobber that thing! :'''Garnet''': Stand down. :'''Peridot''': What for?! :'''Lapis''': Where's Steven? :'''Garnet''': That ''is'' Steven. :'''Peridot, Bismuth, & Lapis''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!''' :''[Monster Steven bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall]'' :'''Garnet''': RUN! :'''Amethyst''': He's not listening to us at all! :'''Pearl''': What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer and then he's turned into this...''thing''! :'''Connie''': We can change him back, can't we? :'''Garnet''': As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll ''stay'' one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Spinel''': ''[jumps out of the Diamond ship, holding Steven's flip flop]'' You forgot your foot thong thingy! ''[sees Steven as a monster]'' OOOH, OH! :''[The Diamonds walk out of the ship]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What is going on here? :'''White Diamond''': Why is something like this ''always'' happening when we show up for a visit? :'''Blue Diamond''': What is that thing? :'''Garnet''': That "thing" is Steven. :''[Blue, White Diamond, and Spinel gasp in shock]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': WHAT?! :'''White Diamond''': Impossible! :'''Blue Diamond''': Is he corrupted? :'''Yellow Diamond''': But how? :'''Garnet''': Never mind that. We have to change him back. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Leave it to me. ''[she catches Monster Steven's head in an energy aura and tries to shrink it down, only for it to revert back immediately, to her confusion]'' With my new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. :'''Blue Diamond''': He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. I can help with that. ''[she sends a cloud of joy towards Monster Steven, but he blows it right back]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Look out! ''[the cloud hits her and Spinel, and they start laughing uncontrollably]'' Wow! Your new power didn't work either! :'''White Diamond''': ''[pushes Yellow and Blue aside and approaches Monster Steven]'' Enough. I know exactly how to help. If I connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. Now then, do you hear me, Steven? ''[her gem glows and the atmosphere's colors change]'' Just relax and let me in… Wait-- ''[her eyes glow, and she cries out and falls back as Yellow and Blue catch her]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': White! :'''Blue Diamond''': What happened?! :'''White Diamond''': ''[horrified]'' That's ''not'' Steven anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Guys, look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back! :'''Peridot''': I can't believe it! He's even stronger than the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment! :'''Pearl''': Deep inside this…monster, Steven must be in there, so angry. :'''Amethyst''': I knew something was going on. I- Why didn't I ''do'' something?! :'''Sapphire''': ''[crying]'' If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this ''forever!'' ''[starts sobbing along with Ruby while Lapis watches]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''[to Greg as he takes a few steps back]'' Dude, you should get outta here before you get hurt! :'''Greg''': ''[stomps his foot]'' NO! Everytime Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is ''my'' son! And he's right to be angry, because I didn't protect him! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[tearing up; crying]'' You didn't protect him from us! He's like this because of us! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[crying]'' ''We're'' the source of Steven's suffering! :'''Spinel''': ''[breaks down, sobbing hysterically and blowing her nose into her pigtails]'' THIS IS ''MY'' FAULT! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying]'' Spinel, don't be silly. Everyone knows that all of this is because of ''me!'' :'''Spinel''': No, it's ME! I tried to wipe his friends' memories, so he would die alone on a barren world! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying and sobbing]'' That was because you were angry with Pink! And if Pink hurt you, it was because ''I'' hurt ''her!'' Like I hurt Yellow and Blue and Steven and everyone in the entire universe! This is all ''my'' fault! :'''Connie''': YES, it is! ''[rides in on Lion]'' Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs ''us'' this time! We all have Steven when we needed him. But the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's ''always'' been there for us, so… how can we be there for him now? :''[Ruby and Sapphire smile and fuse back into Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': I know how. :''[Monster Steven breaks free of the Cluster's hand, defeats it and charges at the beach]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay! No time to waste. Yellow, make me as big as him! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Right. :'''Garnet''': Blue, lift everyone up! :'''Blue Diamond''': Of course. :'''Garnet''': Everyone, get in line! :'''Greg''': You got it! :'''Garnet''': It's time to show Steven… some love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': ''[hugging her arms tightly around Monster Steven while he's struggling; calmly]'' Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for ''you'' now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. :'''Lapis''': This is working? You hear us? Steven! ''[comes and hugs him]'' :''[Everyone comes in for the hug too]'' :'''Greg''': I'm here, Schtu-Ball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?! :'''Peridot''': Steven! You never gave up on me for some reasons I don't understand! I'll do the same for you! :'''Amethyst''': I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but… it's possible, man! :'''Pearl''': Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me! :''[Monster Steven stammers emotionally, and the Cluster's hand reappears and takes his]'' :'''Connie''': ''[jumps off Lion's head and lands on Monster Steven's nose, walks closer to his face and hugs him; sighs]'' Steven… you must have been ''so'' afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you took care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but… ''[kisses him with a pink droplet appearing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up, back to his normal human-self, still crying]'' Huh? ''[looks and sees everyone smiling at him]'' Wha…I… Did-Did I-I'm- ''[Lion pops up and licks him; chuckling]'' Lion. ''[hugs Lion]'' Lion! ''[begins sobbing, letting out his emotions]'' ===''The Future''=== :'''Jasper''': ''[bursts through the wall, staying aloof]'' Heard you’re leaving. ''[faces at Steven]'' I’m coming with you! :'''Steven''': Jasper, I’m going ''alone.'' :'''Jasper''': Then who will protect you?! :'''Steven''': I can protect myself. :'''Jasper''': ''[sighs disappointingly, scowls]'' I know. ''[punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction]'' Farewell, my Diamond. ''[headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one, walks through it]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa! Even Jasper's more upset than my own family! Maybe I need a round two? <hr width="50%"> :'''Garnet''': I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked, and I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving. But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of ''all'' of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there – whenever you need us. We love you, Steven. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:American sequel TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated action TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated drama TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:LGBT-related animated TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows due to coronavirus pandemic]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about teenagers]] [[Category:TV shows about alien visitations]] [[Category:Steven Universe]] 96aiq9dvjjdi7u3qoxdiedfeiv6bftb 3147444 3147443 2022-07-26T14:52:46Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* A Very Special Episode */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Steven Universe Future|Steven Universe Future]]''''' (2019–2020) is an animated limited series produced by [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as an epilogue for [[Steven Universe (season 5)|Season 5]] of ''[[Steven Universe]]'' and ''[[Steven Universe: The Movie]]''. ==Episodes== ===''Little Homeschool''=== :'''Steven''': ''[narrating]'' Life is a little different these days. The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror. The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet. We're all safe to explore our dreams. Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on. Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep. She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early. And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and I have been cooking up a dream of our own! :'''Cherry Quartz''': I have no idea who you're talking about. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling]'' Don't worry about it. You'll learn all that, and more, right here at Little Homeschool. ''[gives Cherry Quartz a tour around]'' Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like. You can forge a new identity. Grow your own ideas. And even find your inner Morp! :'''Cherry Quartz''': Wait, what's a "Morp"? :'''Steven''': That's ''exactly'' the kind of question we love to hear! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters. They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need. :'''Jasper''': So? Who cares? :'''Steven''': ''[angrily]'' I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster too! :'''Jasper''': And what? Now I owe you? :'''Steven''': No! :'''Jasper''': You think because you did something I never asked for, I'm going to ''obey'' you? :'''Steven''': No! That's not-- :'''Jasper''': Like all the other Gems you ''use.'' :'''Steven''': ''[frustrated]'' AGGGHHH! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault! All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but-- but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight! Which you ''LOST!'' To ''ME!'' No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere, ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! ''Because I'm trying to give you one!'' :'''Jasper''': Listen, weakling! You might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are ''not'' my Diamond, and I am ''not'' going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it. :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''Jasper''': ''[suddenly smiles eagerly]'' Really? Huh, well then! Why don't you throw the first punch? ''[beckons tauntingly, and Steven punches her, pushing her back a few feet]'' Ooohh...! ''[laughs aggressively and charges back at him]'' :'''Steven''': I... guess we're doing this. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During his fight with Jasper, Steven bubbles a nest of baby birds to protect them]'' :'''Jasper''': Stop trying to help those tiny flapping Earthlings, and ''FIGHT ME!'' :'''Steven''': I'll never stop trying to help them, or you! :'''Jasper''': ''[kicking his shield away and pinning him down]'' I don't need your help! ''You're'' the one that needs help! You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own! You've always been a fusion! You've always had your friends! Because you're nothing without them! You think everyone needs help! :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I-- I just-- :'''Jasper''': But ''it's only you. No one'' is as '''''pitiful''''' as '''''you!''''' :''[Shaken and angry, Steven starts to glow pink and pushes Jasper back with a sudden burst of strength, much to her surprise]'' :'''Steven''': ''[looking at himself]'' Whoa... what? ''[Jasper grins, and Steven angrily summons a bubble glove and charges at her with it]'' I'M... ''NOT''... PITIFUL! ''[sends her flying back through several trees]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' Ha. Not bad. ''[continues to fight Steven, who catches her in the middle of a spin-dash]'' Nice catch. :'''Steven''': You should see my ''THROW!'' ''[tosses her up into the air, where she laughs as he hits her several more times]'' STOP LAUGHING! ''[sends her slamming back down into the ground, then gasps in shock and returns to normal]'' Jasper... :'''Jasper''': ''[gets up and shakes herself off, impressed]'' Huh. I didn't think you had it in you. :'''Steven''': I don't... I don't know what that was. I'm sorry. :'''Jasper''': ''[rolling her eyes]'' Ugh! Don't apologize. :'''Steven''': I... think I had you all wrong. Maybe you don't have something to learn from me. Maybe I have something to learn from you. ''[Jasper raises an eyebrow]'' Would you ever be interested in teaching? :'''Jasper''': ''[scoffs]'' Tssh! At your crummy little school? :'''Steven''': No, just me. You brought something out of me I didn't know I had. :'''Jasper''': ''[walks up to Steven, placing a hand on his shoulder]'' Consider that fight back there your first and ''only'' lesson. ''[begins walking off]'' :'''Steven''': Well... can I come back to see you sometime? :'''Jasper''': Do what you want. ===''Guidance''=== :'''Larimar''': What is this wonderful noise? :'''Steven''': Those are the joyful screams of people on a roller coaster. :'''Larimar''': Human screams are my favorite of the Earth's delights. I want to hear the human screams forever. :'''Steven''': Okay, that's kind of troubling. But your heart is in the right place. :'''Larimar''': One day, I'll make ''you'' scream, Steven. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larimar''': I just wanted to say thanks for the amusement park job. I'm not great at the roller-coaster operation, we know, but I found out I'm good at handing out prizes to children, and I love their laughter. :'''Steven''': Aww. :'''Larimar''': It sounds just like screaming. ===''Rose Buds''=== :'''Holly Blue Agate''': Stop relaxing and get back to your posts! Ugh! How can you stand this total lack of order? :'''Amethyst Guard''': Chill out, Holly Blue. You know you want to. :'''Holly Blue Agate''' I give up. No one answers to me, and I answer to no one. I'd give anything for an order from the Diamonds, but all they talk about is Steven, Steven, Steven -- Steven! :'''Steven''': Hi, Holly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[seeing all of the Rose Quartzes being un-bubbled]'' So... Many... Rose Quartzes. How did the-- :'''Superfan Rose''': Oh, now that it's Era 3, we were all unbubbled, so now, we're making up for lost time. Hi! I'm Rose Quartz, and you, you're Steven! You are so much smaller than I imagined! Is it because you're half organic? Can you believe it, Rose Quartz?! :'''Hippie Rose''': It's like, we where bubbled, but now we're like, not bubbled. :'''Steven''': Th-It's really-- It's really great. ===''Volleyball''=== :'''Steven''': So, how would you like your magical spit administered today? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': Ah, geez, uh... the ''not'' kissing one? :'''Steven''': You got it! ''[licks his palm and applies healing spit onto the Ruby's gem, healing the crack]'' Man, what kind of enemies does the mayor have to keep you landing in my office? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': That's classified information, nurse-citizen Universe. :'''Steven''': Okay, well, try not to classify too hard out there. Oh, don't forget your lollipop! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Pink Pearl's cracked face]'' :'''Pearl''': How could White be so careless? :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, no, Pearl. You've got it all wrong. Pink did this. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' What did you say? ''[approaches her]'' :'''Steven''': Pearl, no...! :'''Pink Pearl''': It's a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn't fit to run one, and, well, that set her off. :'''Pearl''': "Set her off"? What are you talking about? :'''Pink Pearl''': You remember how she was, with her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right. She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn't mean to hurt me. ''[chuckles]'' I just happened to be standing too close to her that time, and-- :'''Steven''': ''[covering his ears anxiously]'' Doesn't matter! I'm gonna fix it! :'''Pearl''': Destructive powers?! Pink didn't have destructive powers, she was a healer! She didn't throw tantrums, she kept her feelings secret! :'''Pink Pearl''': The Pink I knew couldn't keep a secret to save her gem. :'''Pearl''': Are you kidding?! If anything, she was ''too'' good at keeping secrets, even from me! :''[Frustrated by their arguing, Steven furiously snaps and starts glowing pink]'' :'''Steven''': ''[lividly]'' ''STOP IT!'' I CAN'T DEAL WITH ''ONE MORE'' HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! ''[Both Pearls gasp]'' I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, I DON'T EVEN WANNA ''THINK'' ABOUT IT! :'''Pearl''': Steven! :'''Steven''': I JUST WANT TO '''''FIX IT!!!''''' :''[Steven unleashes a shockwave that causes cracks around the room. Pink Pearl cowers in fear, and Steven looks at his own reflection in shock and remorse]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry for not believing you. It looks like I'm still making excuses for her. :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[tearfully]'' Is that what ''I've'' been doing?! But... she didn't mean to! :'''Pearl''': But you were hurt! Badly hurt! :'''Pink Pearl''': I was badly hurt... How did ''you'' stop hurting? :'''Pearl''': ''[embraces her tightly]'' I didn't. :''[Pink Pearl returns the hug, and they fuse into Mega Pearl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm so sorry. The whole trip was for nothing. :'''Mega Pearl''': No, it wasn't for nothing. Your mother's Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other. :''[She separates into the two Pearls, peacefully holding hands]'' ===''Bluebird''=== :'''Steven''': Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys fused just because you hate me, didn't you? :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': Yes! :'''Steven Universe''': If that's the only reason, then it's no wonder you can't keep it together. :'''Aquamarine''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven Universe''': There are so many other reasons to fuse, like friendship and responsibility and... and love. Imagine how much better it would feel to fuse to support each other, instead of tearing someone down. Your life would fill with warmth and friendship and joy and love and-- :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': ''[covering her ears]'' Wowie, wow! He is ''so'' annoying! :'''Aquamarine''': I hate him so much! :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': I know! Me too! ''[they fuse back into Bluebird Azurite]'' :'''Steven''': Are you kidding me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm really sorry, Dad. I never should have given Bluebird a chance. :'''Greg''': I love how you believe in everyone. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. ===''A Very Special Episode''=== :'''Ocean Jasper''': I slip on the stairs? :'''Garnet''': Yes. You shatter on impact. :''[Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite scream]'' :'''Steven''': ''[enters through the door]'' Garnet, I'm here. :'''Garnet''': Steven, help. I think I'm scaring them. :'''Steven''': It's okay. We got this. Let's get this safety Geminar started with a very special guest speaker. :''[They both fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Your rockin' pal Sunstone's here to shine. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Watch out, Sunstone. It's dangerous in here. :'''Sunstone''': Not if you practice home safety. Don't slip up. Clear objects off the stairs. Foul shot! Make sure you cover your trash, or you might attract wild animals. Come on. Let's go! Don't leave the water running, it could flood your house. Put protective covers on electrical outlets, especially when kids are around. And most importantly, turn off motion smoothing on your TV. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Wow, everything looks so much better! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven receives a call from Pearl, who he left to take care of Onion]'' :'''Steven''': ''[exhausted]'' Please, please have everything under control... :'''Pearl''': STEVEN! EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL! :'''Steven''': Yup... :'''Pearl''': It's getting really weird here! Steven, you were never like this, you were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you that! Aah! I... I can hear him, but I can't see him! I think he's in the walls! I don't know how he got there, and I don't know how to get him out! ''[call ends]'' :'''Steven''': ''[long gasp]'' Garnet, can you handle things on your own for a little bit? :'''Garnet''': No problem. Our students love me. ''[walks over to them]'' Let me tell you all the ways you can get hit by a car. :'''Steven''': Agh, Garnet! Forget it. I'll stay. I'll stay! :'''Pearl''': ''[in another call]'' STEVEN, THERE'S A SNAKE! :'''Steven''': Never mind! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Why play with sharp objects when you can play with my sharp wit? Crack jokes, not cookie jars, as I always say. Ha ha! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It's important to keep in mind that all these horrible things ''did'' happen to you in alternate timelines. Safety is fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Onion has led Garnet's students off a cliff]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, no! :'''Garnet''': Steven, quick! Sunstone can save them! :'''Steven''': Okay... ''[they fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Oh, yeah! :'''Pearl''': No! Let Rainbow save them! ''[fuses with Steven]'' :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': ''[showing his umbrella]'' I'll catch them with this! :'''Amethyst''': ''[rushing in]'' Hey, wait! ''I'' need Steven! :'''Steven''' ''[unfuses from Pearl]'' What is it, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': I just miss you, man! I haven't seen you for, like, eleven minutes! ===''Snow Day''=== :'''Amethyst''': ''[enters with fried eggs for eyes]'' You really gonna skip the most egg-ssential meal of the day? :'''Steven''': Of course not. I've got all my morning nutrients in this protein shake. :'''Amethyst''': ''[pokes yolk to leak]'' Dude, you're making me sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Man, you had a better work-life balance when the Diamonds were trying to destroy the planet. :'''Steven''': That was then. This is now. :'''Amethyst''': Hey, you know what we haven't done in a long time? ''[shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven]'' Steven Tag! :'''Steven''': Amethyst, what the heck?! :'''Amethyst''': You know the rules, buster. You get tagged, you have to turn into Steven. :'''Steven''': But I'm already Steven! :'''Amethyst''': Nah, bruh. ''Classic'' Steven. :'''Steven''': ''Classic Steven?'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl gets tagged in Garnet and Amethyst's new game of Steven Tag]'' :'''Steven''': Ha! Joke's on you! Pearl doesn't shapeshift! ''[Pearl starts to glow]'' Huh? :'''Pearl''': ''[shapeshifts into Steven]'' The power of Steven Tag COMPELS ME! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Wow. Good for her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It was a snowman… ''[takes off her visor]'' with Steven's jacket. NOOOOOO! :'''Steven''': ''[shivering]'' They'll never stop until they make me play. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I ''JOIN'' THE GAME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You shouldn't have messed with me. Huh? ''[gets tagged by Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Tag. :'''Steven''': ''[falls off the lighthouse]'' Oh, no. Is this the end of my adult life? ===''Why So Blue?''=== :'''Steven''' You're right. This is harder than usual. :'''Lapis''': You've just got to force them to stop. This is going to be a fight. They're not nice like me. :'''Steven''': Umm... :'''Lapis''': Exactly. :'''Steven''': They just don't understand that they're doing harm. Y-you get it. What made it click for you? :'''Lapis''': ''A cycle of horrible torture.'' ''[smiling]'' But other than that, living in nature, getting creative. :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, we can do that for them. :'''Lapis''': Okay. Just a little torture. :'''Steven''': N-no, just the other stuff. :'''Lapis''': ''[sighs]'' Fine, we'll try it your way. :''[They head back to the two Lapis Lazulis]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, so, why don't we explore the many things that you can do that don't involve destroying worlds? :'''"Mean" Lapis''': Should we listen to him? :'''"Nice" Lapis''': He is half-Diamond. Maybe, we should half-listen. :'''Steven''': I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go. ===''Little Graduation''=== :'''Lars''': ''[about Shep]'' Say hi to them for me. ===''Prickly Pair''=== :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't tell Pearl how I feel, 'cause she'd blame herself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't hear any more high and mighty advice from Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I'm so sick of Amethyst acting like she's so mature now! :'''Amethyst''': Why's it being so weirdly specific? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Hey, dude? :'''Pearl''': Is there anything you need to talk about? :'''Steven''': ''[softly]'' ... I think I've said enough. ===''In Dreams''=== :''[After Steven and Peridot have watched the'' Camp Pining Hearts ''reboot]'' :'''Steven''': Wha…? Wha…?! :'''Steven and Peridot''': '''''WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?''''' :'''Peridot''': What is with this Rodrigo guy?! He has no charisma! :'''Steven''': And can we talk about this cinematography?! :'''Peridot''': GAAAH, THEY'VE CHANGED ''ALL'' THE CHARACTERS, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEM! ''[grabs the television]'' HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! ''[sobs] Camp Pining Hearts'' helped me escape when everything around me was in chaos... :'''Steven''': ''CPH'' brought us together... :'''Peridot''': And now, LOOK AT THIS NIGHTMARE! ''[the TV suddenly shows Steven's dream]'' Steven?! You didn't tell me that they cast you! :'''Steven''': What?! They didn't. I-Is this... my dream from last night? ''[on the TV, after Steven falls and the dream ends, it goes back to'' Camp Pining Hearts ''again]'' Whoa! My- My powers must be interfering with the TV signal! :'''Peridot''': ''[delighted]'' Steven! Do you know what this means?! :'''Steven''': I have to start wearing a tinfoil hat? :'''Peridot''': No! It means that if we can put your dreams on the television, we can reboot the reboot! :'''Steven''': "Reboot the...?" Peridot, you're a genius! :'''Peridot''': I know. :'''Steven''': And, well, it might be fun to fix something that isn't the entire universe. :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs him with one arm]'' This is going to be the beginning of Peridot and Steven Productions! :'''Steven''': Yeah-- whoa! ''[topples onto her]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Peridot! We've always had something to fix together - the Cluster, the Diamonds, or Spinel! I don't think I know how to be a friend without something to fix! But I... I just can't do it anymore! I'm so tired... Now I'm even doing it in my dreams! I'm sorry, I can't do this for you. Please don't leave! Don't... leave! :''[The dream stops, in the manner of a TV turning off; Steven awakens, in tears, to Peridot's concerned voice]'' :'''Peridot''': Steven? Steven! STEVEN! Steven, I saw everything! It's-- It's fine! We don't have to do this anymore. ''[hugs him and starts tearing up]'' I don't care about the show, and I ''definitely'' don't care about Rodrigo! Hrrrgh, I'm such a clod! :'''Steven''': But I really wanted to spend time with you! I just... wanted an excuse to hang out. :'''Peridot''': We don't need an excuse to hang out. :'''Steven''': Can... we still watch ''CPH'' together? Even if it sucks? :'''Peridot''': ''[removes her visor to wipe her eyes, and smiles]'' Of course. :''[Later, they watch the show]'' :'''Jasmine''': ''[in the show, angrily]'' How could you lie to me like that, Rodrigo?! I guess you just can't help being a bad person! :''[Steven and Peridot laugh]'' :'''Peridot''': Jasmine, you just ''buried a body in the woods'', and now you're mad that Rodrigo cheated at ''cards?!'' :''[They laugh again]'' :'''Peridot''': This show is the worst! :'''Steven''': ''[smiling warmly at her]'' This show is the best. ===''Bismuth Casual''=== :''[At the Starlight Roller Rink]'' :'''Bismuth''': Woooow! So you mean to tell me people pay to have wheels strapped to their feet for fun? That is really something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patricia''': You should have seen Daniel earlier. He was all bent out of shape 'cos his mom tore into him over his last test scores! :'''Daniel''': ''[groans]'' You know, I kind of forgot about it for a sec. :'''Steven''': Heh... I know how that is. One time, White Diamond tore into me... literally! ''[laughs awkwardly]'' She, uh, she took my gem - I'm part Gem, by the way - she pulled it right out of my body. :'''Daniel''': Okay...? :'''Patricia''': So what grade are you in, Steven? :'''Steven''': Grade? Err, uh... sixteen? :'''Patricia''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Daniel''': So you're taking AP classes? :'''Steven''': Uh... :'''Connie''': Y'all ready to skate? :'''Patricia''': Heck, yeah! :''[Connie, Patricia and Daniel skate away]'' :'''Steven''': I really blew that one. Bet if they were enemy Gems, we'd be best friends by now. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl forms a roll of toilet paper from her gem and gives it to Bismuth]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, here, take this. Every human has at least one of these in their homes. Sometimes they even use it ''[secretively]'' for vandalism! Good luck out there! ''[starts skating away]'' :'''Bismuth''': Wait, where are you going? :'''Pearl''': You don't need me anymore, Bismuth - the humans already love you! I'm going to make some new connections of my own! ''[to a random skater]'' Hello, fellow skater! Would you like a fresh roll? ''[forms another roll]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight. Now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I'm even her best friend anymore... :'''Bismuth''': ''[pounds the table firmly]'' How long has this been going on? :'''Steven''': Err... couple of months. :'''Bismuth''': Listen, Steven. Pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but Connie came here to be with ''you.'' You've got nothing to mope about. :'''Steven''': But her friends think I'm weird. :'''Bismuth''': Of course you're weird! You're a Crystal Gem! Connie knows that, she's always known that! That never stopped you from being friends! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven collapses in the rink]'' :'''Connie''': Steven! Are you okay? :'''Steven''': Connie, I'm sorry... I don't wanna hold you back. :'''Connie''': I don't mind. :'''Steven''': You've got school, new friends, you're going places and... I'm happy for you. But I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect, but... BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SKATE! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven and Connie win the skating contest as Stevonnie]'' :'''Patricia''': Steven, Connie, that was amazing! :'''Daniel''': What the heck was that out there? :'''Connie''': Oh, fusion? Yeah, that's kind of our thing. :'''Steven''': It's something I picked up from my mom's side of the family. :'''Daniel''': The only thing I get from my mom's side of the family is ''stressed out.'' :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Same... ===''Together Forever''=== :''[After Connie turns down Steven's proposal]'' :'''Steven''': I don't get it. Ruby and Sapphire said I should go for it. :'''Garnet''': You can't trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. :'''Steven''': Then why didn't you stop me? :'''Garnet''': There was no future where you didn't propose to Connie. :'''Steven''': Of course... :'''Garnet''': ''[hugs him]'' Your soulmate is your complement, not your missing piece. Ruby and Sapphire love being together, but they each have their own individual lives. Whatever hole there is in your life, Steven, I want you to understand that Connie-Stevonnie won't be able to fill it. ===''Growing Pains''=== :'''Priyanka''': Steven, do you remember anything bad in your childhood that particularly stuck with you? :'''Steven''': I guess…I kind of freaked out when they [[w:Gem Glow|cancelled my favorite ice cream]]. And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster. And I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned. I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats. I almost turned so old I died. Amethyst almost died. Pearl [[w:Steven the Sword Fighter|''did'' die]]. Garnet got destabilized right in front of me. I woke up with a black eye, [[w:Jail Break (Steven Universe)|imprisoned on a spaceship]]-- :'''Priyanka''': Steven, this is serious. :'''Steven''': But that was just the early stuff. :'''Priyanka''': I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger. :'''Steven''': But, why am I only swelling up now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Come on, Steven, talk to me. :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I... well... I, um... I proposed to Connie! :'''Greg''': You what?! :'''Steven''': She said no. :'''Greg''': Oh, Steven... :'''Steven''': My body... it's reacting like it's the end of the world. I think I've seen the world almost end so many times now that ''everything'' that goes wrong feels that... that extreme! I should be feeling so good these days! The Earth is safe, it's Era 3... But I'm swelling up over these third era problems! What do I do? How do I move on from all the stuff I've been through? How do I live life if it always feels like I'm about to die?! :'''Greg''': It's gonna be all right, Stewball. I'm here for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I guess I thought I could just follow Connie to college, like if we got married I'd know what to do with myself. But I'm the one that's gotta figure that stuff out. :'''Greg''': Cut yourself some slack! It's okay to be worried and make some mistakes when you're figuring out what to do with your life. That's not unusual. Uh, well, the magic swelling is a little unusual, but that's okay too! If you want to be a giant boy, we can use the car wash as a shower. === ''Mr. Universe'' === :'''Steven''': I don't need this song! I need...I need what you had! :'''Greg''': What? :'''Steven''': I wish I could've grown up at a house like that. :'''Greg''': No you don't! :'''Steven''': Maybe your parents weren't so bad. Maybe they gave you curfews and chaperones and meatloaf f-for a reason! :'''Greg''': Steven, you don't know what they were like! :'''Steven''': They can't be worse then mom's family. I went halfway across the galaxy for them, and this was right here?! :'''Greg''': Steven, I couldn't do anything growing up. Everything I liked, or wore, wanted was always wrong! Trust me, you're better off then I was. :'''Steven''': I can't believe I never realized, you're... you're just like Mom! ''[turns pink as his grip tightens on the steering wheel]'' :'''Greg''': You grew up with actual freedom! :'''Steven''': I grew up in a ''van!'' I never went to school! I've never been to the doctor until two days ago! :'''Greg''': Steven! You're a gem! You're not like other kids! :'''Steven''': I could have done all that stuff! My problem isn't that I'm a gem, my problem is that I'm a ''UNIVERSE!!'' ===''Fragments''=== :'''Pearl''': How could this happen? You crashed the van with Greg inside? You know how fragile he is, these pink outbursts of yours are getting out of hand. :'''Steven''': It's not an ''[turns pink]'' OUTBURST! :'''Pearl''': See? This is exactly what I'm talking about! What's happening to you? :'''Steven''': Nothing! ...It's nothing. :'''Pearl''': S-Steven! Where are you going?! We're not pro- ''[Steven summons out a generated force field]'' Steven! Drop this wall! :'''Steven''': Pearl, sorry. I'm trying- I just… need… some space, OK? I'll be in my room. :'''Amethyst''': Not so fast, my dude. You gotta tell us what's going on. :'''Garnet''': It looks like Steven is trying to avoid a serious discussion about this ''all'' together. :'''Steven''': '''NO, I'M''' <big>'''NOT!!!'''</big> ''[slams his fist into the stairs, unleashing a room-wrecking shockwave]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you have got to calm down and talk to us! :'''Amethyst''': Just chill, man! :'''Steven''': Nnghh… :'''Pearl''': We need to do something about this before someone gets hurt! :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… :'''Garnet''': Don't let this power control you. You're better than this. :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… <big><big>'''''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!'''''</big></big> ''[notices the Gems are walking in slow-motion]'' I'm…speeding up again. I gotta get out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This thing with my powers is a real problem! :'''Jasper''': The only problem you have are your friends. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Jasper''': Can't you see they're holding you back? :'''Steven''': What? No, they're-- they're just worried about me. :'''Jasper''': They're afraid. Of your power. :'''Steven''': Yeah... yeah, I guess so... :'''Jasper''': You are too. You came all the way out here to hide from it. But ''I'm'' not here to hide. I don't stifle my anger or my power; I channel it into training! :'''Steven''': Oh, right... this destroyed forest. :'''Jasper''': I've got no one to serve, nowhere to go. All I have left is '''''POWER!''' [she punches a tree, completely smashing it apart]'' And in order to control that power, I have to ''use'' it. Those so-called "friends" of yours don't understand. They want you to feel bad for being yourself. :'''Steven''': I ''do'' feel bad… ''[steps over to another tree and punches it, cringing in pain and remorse]'' :'''Jasper''': YEAH, DESTROY THAT WEAKLING TREE! :'''Steven''': No! ''[kisses the tree, healing it and making grass sprout around it]'' :'''Jasper''': Ugh! Gross! That's disgusting! Bleh! No! The grass! ''[tears at it]'' Get outta here! ''[grabs Steven]'' Quit helping the local ecosystem recover! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Steven's new, more muscular form]'' :'''Jasper''': Hm. Not bad for three days of work. ''[Steven kisses one of his biceps]'' I didn't teach you that… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jasper''': What are you holding back for?! You think I can't take it? I'm not gonna coddle you, Steven! Do you wanna go home to your gems? :'''Steven''': No… :'''Jasper''': Are you afraid to be strong? Are you pathetic? Are you ''weak?'' :'''Steven''': <big>'''''I'M NOT!!!!!!!'''''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're right, Jasper. I ''have'' been holding back. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Having shattered Jasper after losing control in their rematch, Steven hurries back to his bathroom and dips the fragments into Diamond aura potions]'' :'''Steven''': Please, please let this work!

''[steps aside, revealing him looking scared and depressed]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven? Where have you been?! :''[Steven walks off upstairs to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': You can't just disappear for days without telling us! :'''Jasper''': My Diamond can do has he pleases. :'''Amethyst''': Wait, what?! :'''Pearl''': Why are you calling him that?! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': Where is he going?! :''[The Gems follow Steven to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': Steven, wait! :'''Garnet''': You don't need to go. :''[Steven turns pink and puts a barrier in front of the Gems as he sighs]'' :'''Amethyst''': What the HECK?! :'''Steven''': You guys… I love you, but you ''can't'' help me anymore.

That was so embarrassing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[controlling White Diamond]'' Whoa. This is… so weird. I'm-I'm, I'm a Diamond. This- This is the last thing I needed to see.

And he told me: ''[singing]'' [[w:Steven Universe: The Movie|IIIIII, I can make a chaaaaange! You can make a promise...]] :'''Steven''': Gah! Don't give me my own advice! ===''Everything's Fine''=== :'''Steven''': Hey, Connie, what's up? :'''Connie''': Steven! Good, you finally picked up! I can't believe we haven't spoken since the hospital. How are you? :'''Steven''': I'm great! Never been better! :'''Connie''': Really? Have you had any more issues with swelling and glowing pink? :'''Steven''': Um... Nope? Well, maybe, but how about you? How's college prep? :'''Connie''': Steven, that's, uh- It's fine, but what do you mean, maybe? :'''Steven''': Look, there's nothing to worry about. I'm OK. :'''Connie''': Steven... :'''Steven''': I should go.

''[holds out her phone, on which Steven, glowing and swelled up, is doing the plant Steven's dance and looping the message "Steven's here to help!"]'' What is going on? :'''Steven''': I... broadcast my subconscious sometimes these days. It's really no big deal. :'''Connie''': Okay, but... I can tell something is bothering you. ''[holds out her phone again; the message makes some statics]'' :'''Steven''': Ah, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine! Awesome, in fact. Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well. :'''Greg''': Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong- :'''Steven''': Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry. :'''Connie''': We ''are'' worried! :'''Greg''': Steven, you know you can tell us anything. :'''Steven''': It's not that easy! You know what? I don't have to deal with this!

You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today, I broke an anvil - what teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement, but that's practically a rite of passage! I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And ''maybe'' I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only ''actually'' shattered Jasper! :''[Pearl gasps in horrified shock]'' :'''Amethyst''': WHAT?! :''[Garnet, Connie, and Greg gasp]'' :'''Connie''': You're- you're joking, right? :'''Steven''': Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix ''anything!'' I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it! :'''Garnet''': Steven... :'''Steven''': ''[sighs as he finally loses it]'' How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long? You have ''no'' idea how bad I am! Y-You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do! But ''that's'' not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse! You all think of me as some angel, but I'm not that kid anymore! ''[close-up on his scowl]'' I'm a fraud. ''[falls to the floor as his breaths become shaky]'' I'm a fraud. I'm a MONSTER! ''[massive pink spikes burst out of his back, tearing his shirt with everyone taking a step back, with plain terror]'' ===''I Am My Monster''=== :'''Greg''': ''[calling out]'' Just calm down, son!

Relax, buddy! :'''Peridot''': Let's hurry up and clobber that thing! :'''Garnet''': Stand down. :'''Peridot''': What for?! :'''Lapis''': Where's Steven? :'''Garnet''': That ''is'' Steven. :'''Peridot, Bismuth, & Lapis''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!''' :''[Monster Steven bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall]'' :'''Garnet''': RUN! :'''Amethyst''': He's not listening to us at all! :'''Pearl''': What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer and then he's turned into this...''thing''! :'''Connie''': We can change him back, can't we? :'''Garnet''': As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll ''stay'' one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Spinel''': ''[jumps out of the Diamond ship, holding Steven's flip flop]'' You forgot your foot thong thingy! ''[sees Steven as a monster]'' OOOH, OH! :''[The Diamonds walk out of the ship]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What is going on here? :'''White Diamond''': Why is something like this ''always'' happening when we show up for a visit? :'''Blue Diamond''': What is that thing? :'''Garnet''': That "thing" is Steven. :''[Blue, White Diamond, and Spinel gasp in shock]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': WHAT?! :'''White Diamond''': Impossible! :'''Blue Diamond''': Is he corrupted? :'''Yellow Diamond''': But how? :'''Garnet''': Never mind that. We have to change him back. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Leave it to me. ''[she catches Monster Steven's head in an energy aura and tries to shrink it down, only for it to revert back immediately, to her confusion]'' With my new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. :'''Blue Diamond''': He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. I can help with that. ''[she sends a cloud of joy towards Monster Steven, but he blows it right back]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Look out! ''[the cloud hits her and Spinel, and they start laughing uncontrollably]'' Wow! Your new power didn't work either! :'''White Diamond''': ''[pushes Yellow and Blue aside and approaches Monster Steven]'' Enough. I know exactly how to help. If I connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. Now then, do you hear me, Steven? ''[her gem glows and the atmosphere's colors change]'' Just relax and let me in… Wait-- ''[her eyes glow, and she cries out and falls back as Yellow and Blue catch her]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': White! :'''Blue Diamond''': What happened?! :'''White Diamond''': ''[horrified]'' That's ''not'' Steven anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Guys, look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back! :'''Peridot''': I can't believe it! He's even stronger than the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment! :'''Pearl''': Deep inside this…monster, Steven must be in there, so angry. :'''Amethyst''': I knew something was going on. I- Why didn't I ''do'' something?! :'''Sapphire''': ''[crying]'' If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this ''forever!'' ''[starts sobbing along with Ruby while Lapis watches]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''[to Greg as he takes a few steps back]'' Dude, you should get outta here before you get hurt! :'''Greg''': ''[stomps his foot]'' NO! Everytime Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is ''my'' son! And he's right to be angry, because I didn't protect him! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[tearing up; crying]'' You didn't protect him from us! He's like this because of us! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[crying]'' ''We're'' the source of Steven's suffering! :'''Spinel''': ''[breaks down, sobbing hysterically and blowing her nose into her pigtails]'' THIS IS ''MY'' FAULT! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying]'' Spinel, don't be silly. Everyone knows that all of this is because of ''me!'' :'''Spinel''': No, it's ME! I tried to wipe his friends' memories, so he would die alone on a barren world! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying and sobbing]'' That was because you were angry with Pink! And if Pink hurt you, it was because ''I'' hurt ''her!'' Like I hurt Yellow and Blue and Steven and everyone in the entire universe! This is all ''my'' fault! :'''Connie''': YES, it is! ''[rides in on Lion]'' Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs ''us'' this time! We all have Steven when we needed him. But the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's ''always'' been there for us, so… how can we be there for him now? :''[Ruby and Sapphire smile and fuse back into Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': I know how. :''[Monster Steven breaks free of the Cluster's hand, defeats it and charges at the beach]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay! No time to waste. Yellow, make me as big as him! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Right. :'''Garnet''': Blue, lift everyone up! :'''Blue Diamond''': Of course. :'''Garnet''': Everyone, get in line! :'''Greg''': You got it! :'''Garnet''': It's time to show Steven… some love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': ''[hugging her arms tightly around Monster Steven while he's struggling; calmly]'' Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for ''you'' now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. :'''Lapis''': This is working? You hear us? Steven! ''[comes and hugs him]'' :''[Everyone comes in for the hug too]'' :'''Greg''': I'm here, Schtu-Ball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?! :'''Peridot''': Steven! You never gave up on me for some reasons I don't understand! I'll do the same for you! :'''Amethyst''': I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but… it's possible, man! :'''Pearl''': Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me! :''[Monster Steven stammers emotionally, and the Cluster's hand reappears and takes his]'' :'''Connie''': ''[jumps off Lion's head and lands on Monster Steven's nose, walks closer to his face and hugs him; sighs]'' Steven… you must have been ''so'' afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you took care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but… ''[kisses him with a pink droplet appearing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up, back to his normal human-self, still crying]'' Huh? ''[looks and sees everyone smiling at him]'' Wha…I… Did-Did I-I'm- ''[Lion pops up and licks him; chuckling]'' Lion. ''[hugs Lion]'' Lion! ''[begins sobbing, letting out his emotions]'' ===''The Future''=== :'''Jasper''': ''[bursts through the wall, staying aloof]'' Heard you’re leaving. ''[faces at Steven]'' I’m coming with you! :'''Steven''': Jasper, I’m going ''alone.'' :'''Jasper''': Then who will protect you?! :'''Steven''': I can protect myself. :'''Jasper''': ''[sighs disappointingly, scowls]'' I know. ''[punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction]'' Farewell, my Diamond. ''[headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one, walks through it]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa! Even Jasper's more upset than my own family! Maybe I need a round two? <hr width="50%"> :'''Garnet''': I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked, and I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving. But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of ''all'' of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there – whenever you need us. We love you, Steven. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:American sequel TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated action TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated drama TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:LGBT-related animated TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows due to coronavirus pandemic]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about teenagers]] [[Category:TV shows about alien visitations]] [[Category:Steven Universe]] g0z0b0up5b1hcn6prsqpuwunbsvcguz 3147446 3147444 2022-07-26T14:57:33Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* A Very Special Episode */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Steven Universe Future|Steven Universe Future]]''''' (2019–2020) is an animated limited series produced by [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as an epilogue for [[Steven Universe (season 5)|Season 5]] of ''[[Steven Universe]]'' and ''[[Steven Universe: The Movie]]''. ==Episodes== ===''Little Homeschool''=== :'''Steven''': ''[narrating]'' Life is a little different these days. The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror. The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet. We're all safe to explore our dreams. Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on. Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep. She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early. And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and I have been cooking up a dream of our own! :'''Cherry Quartz''': I have no idea who you're talking about. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling]'' Don't worry about it. You'll learn all that, and more, right here at Little Homeschool. ''[gives Cherry Quartz a tour around]'' Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like. You can forge a new identity. Grow your own ideas. And even find your inner Morp! :'''Cherry Quartz''': Wait, what's a "Morp"? :'''Steven''': That's ''exactly'' the kind of question we love to hear! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters. They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need. :'''Jasper''': So? Who cares? :'''Steven''': ''[angrily]'' I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster too! :'''Jasper''': And what? Now I owe you? :'''Steven''': No! :'''Jasper''': You think because you did something I never asked for, I'm going to ''obey'' you? :'''Steven''': No! That's not-- :'''Jasper''': Like all the other Gems you ''use.'' :'''Steven''': ''[frustrated]'' AGGGHHH! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault! All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but-- but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight! Which you ''LOST!'' To ''ME!'' No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere, ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! ''Because I'm trying to give you one!'' :'''Jasper''': Listen, weakling! You might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are ''not'' my Diamond, and I am ''not'' going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it. :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''Jasper''': ''[suddenly smiles eagerly]'' Really? Huh, well then! Why don't you throw the first punch? ''[beckons tauntingly, and Steven punches her, pushing her back a few feet]'' Ooohh...! ''[laughs aggressively and charges back at him]'' :'''Steven''': I... guess we're doing this. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During his fight with Jasper, Steven bubbles a nest of baby birds to protect them]'' :'''Jasper''': Stop trying to help those tiny flapping Earthlings, and ''FIGHT ME!'' :'''Steven''': I'll never stop trying to help them, or you! :'''Jasper''': ''[kicking his shield away and pinning him down]'' I don't need your help! ''You're'' the one that needs help! You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own! You've always been a fusion! You've always had your friends! Because you're nothing without them! You think everyone needs help! :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I-- I just-- :'''Jasper''': But ''it's only you. No one'' is as '''''pitiful''''' as '''''you!''''' :''[Shaken and angry, Steven starts to glow pink and pushes Jasper back with a sudden burst of strength, much to her surprise]'' :'''Steven''': ''[looking at himself]'' Whoa... what? ''[Jasper grins, and Steven angrily summons a bubble glove and charges at her with it]'' I'M... ''NOT''... PITIFUL! ''[sends her flying back through several trees]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' Ha. Not bad. ''[continues to fight Steven, who catches her in the middle of a spin-dash]'' Nice catch. :'''Steven''': You should see my ''THROW!'' ''[tosses her up into the air, where she laughs as he hits her several more times]'' STOP LAUGHING! ''[sends her slamming back down into the ground, then gasps in shock and returns to normal]'' Jasper... :'''Jasper''': ''[gets up and shakes herself off, impressed]'' Huh. I didn't think you had it in you. :'''Steven''': I don't... I don't know what that was. I'm sorry. :'''Jasper''': ''[rolling her eyes]'' Ugh! Don't apologize. :'''Steven''': I... think I had you all wrong. Maybe you don't have something to learn from me. Maybe I have something to learn from you. ''[Jasper raises an eyebrow]'' Would you ever be interested in teaching? :'''Jasper''': ''[scoffs]'' Tssh! At your crummy little school? :'''Steven''': No, just me. You brought something out of me I didn't know I had. :'''Jasper''': ''[walks up to Steven, placing a hand on his shoulder]'' Consider that fight back there your first and ''only'' lesson. ''[begins walking off]'' :'''Steven''': Well... can I come back to see you sometime? :'''Jasper''': Do what you want. ===''Guidance''=== :'''Larimar''': What is this wonderful noise? :'''Steven''': Those are the joyful screams of people on a roller coaster. :'''Larimar''': Human screams are my favorite of the Earth's delights. I want to hear the human screams forever. :'''Steven''': Okay, that's kind of troubling. But your heart is in the right place. :'''Larimar''': One day, I'll make ''you'' scream, Steven. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larimar''': I just wanted to say thanks for the amusement park job. I'm not great at the roller-coaster operation, we know, but I found out I'm good at handing out prizes to children, and I love their laughter. :'''Steven''': Aww. :'''Larimar''': It sounds just like screaming. ===''Rose Buds''=== :'''Holly Blue Agate''': Stop relaxing and get back to your posts! Ugh! How can you stand this total lack of order? :'''Amethyst Guard''': Chill out, Holly Blue. You know you want to. :'''Holly Blue Agate''' I give up. No one answers to me, and I answer to no one. I'd give anything for an order from the Diamonds, but all they talk about is Steven, Steven, Steven -- Steven! :'''Steven''': Hi, Holly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[seeing all of the Rose Quartzes being un-bubbled]'' So... Many... Rose Quartzes. How did the-- :'''Superfan Rose''': Oh, now that it's Era 3, we were all unbubbled, so now, we're making up for lost time. Hi! I'm Rose Quartz, and you, you're Steven! You are so much smaller than I imagined! Is it because you're half organic? Can you believe it, Rose Quartz?! :'''Hippie Rose''': It's like, we where bubbled, but now we're like, not bubbled. :'''Steven''': Th-It's really-- It's really great. ===''Volleyball''=== :'''Steven''': So, how would you like your magical spit administered today? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': Ah, geez, uh... the ''not'' kissing one? :'''Steven''': You got it! ''[licks his palm and applies healing spit onto the Ruby's gem, healing the crack]'' Man, what kind of enemies does the mayor have to keep you landing in my office? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': That's classified information, nurse-citizen Universe. :'''Steven''': Okay, well, try not to classify too hard out there. Oh, don't forget your lollipop! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Pink Pearl's cracked face]'' :'''Pearl''': How could White be so careless? :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, no, Pearl. You've got it all wrong. Pink did this. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' What did you say? ''[approaches her]'' :'''Steven''': Pearl, no...! :'''Pink Pearl''': It's a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn't fit to run one, and, well, that set her off. :'''Pearl''': "Set her off"? What are you talking about? :'''Pink Pearl''': You remember how she was, with her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right. She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn't mean to hurt me. ''[chuckles]'' I just happened to be standing too close to her that time, and-- :'''Steven''': ''[covering his ears anxiously]'' Doesn't matter! I'm gonna fix it! :'''Pearl''': Destructive powers?! Pink didn't have destructive powers, she was a healer! She didn't throw tantrums, she kept her feelings secret! :'''Pink Pearl''': The Pink I knew couldn't keep a secret to save her gem. :'''Pearl''': Are you kidding?! If anything, she was ''too'' good at keeping secrets, even from me! :''[Frustrated by their arguing, Steven furiously snaps and starts glowing pink]'' :'''Steven''': ''[lividly]'' ''STOP IT!'' I CAN'T DEAL WITH ''ONE MORE'' HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! ''[Both Pearls gasp]'' I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, I DON'T EVEN WANNA ''THINK'' ABOUT IT! :'''Pearl''': Steven! :'''Steven''': I JUST WANT TO '''''FIX IT!!!''''' :''[Steven unleashes a shockwave that causes cracks around the room. Pink Pearl cowers in fear, and Steven looks at his own reflection in shock and remorse]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry for not believing you. It looks like I'm still making excuses for her. :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[tearfully]'' Is that what ''I've'' been doing?! But... she didn't mean to! :'''Pearl''': But you were hurt! Badly hurt! :'''Pink Pearl''': I was badly hurt... How did ''you'' stop hurting? :'''Pearl''': ''[embraces her tightly]'' I didn't. :''[Pink Pearl returns the hug, and they fuse into Mega Pearl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm so sorry. The whole trip was for nothing. :'''Mega Pearl''': No, it wasn't for nothing. Your mother's Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other. :''[She separates into the two Pearls, peacefully holding hands]'' ===''Bluebird''=== :'''Steven''': Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys fused just because you hate me, didn't you? :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': Yes! :'''Steven Universe''': If that's the only reason, then it's no wonder you can't keep it together. :'''Aquamarine''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven Universe''': There are so many other reasons to fuse, like friendship and responsibility and... and love. Imagine how much better it would feel to fuse to support each other, instead of tearing someone down. Your life would fill with warmth and friendship and joy and love and-- :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': ''[covering her ears]'' Wowie, wow! He is ''so'' annoying! :'''Aquamarine''': I hate him so much! :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': I know! Me too! ''[they fuse back into Bluebird Azurite]'' :'''Steven''': Are you kidding me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm really sorry, Dad. I never should have given Bluebird a chance. :'''Greg''': I love how you believe in everyone. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. ===''A Very Special Episode''=== :''[Rainbow Quartz 2.0 unfuses and Steven answers the call]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you're late. I need you for the Sunstone safety geminar. :'''Steven''': Oh, no, that was today? But, Rainbow Quartz promised to hang out with Onion to- :'''Garnet''': Don't worry, ''I'll'' handle the geminar. I'll explain to them every possible future where they get hurt in this house. :'''Steven''': I don't know if that's a good idea. I'll be right there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ocean Jasper''': I slip on the stairs? :'''Garnet''': Yes. You shatter on impact. :''[Ocean Jasper and a Nephrite scream]'' :'''Steven''': ''[enters through the door]'' Garnet, I'm here. :'''Garnet''': Steven, help. I think I'm scaring them. :'''Steven''': It's okay. We got this. Let's get this safety Geminar started with a very special guest speaker. :''[They both fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Your rockin' pal Sunstone's here to shine. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Watch out, Sunstone. It's dangerous in here. :'''Sunstone''': Not if you practice home safety. Don't slip up. Clear objects off the stairs. Foul shot! Make sure you cover your trash, or you might attract wild animals. Come on. Let's go! Don't leave the water running, it could flood your house. Put protective covers on electrical outlets, especially when kids are around. And most importantly, turn off motion smoothing on your TV. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Wow, everything looks so much better! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven receives a call from Pearl, who he left to take care of Onion]'' :'''Steven''': ''[exhausted]'' Please, please have everything under control... :'''Pearl''': STEVEN! EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL! :'''Steven''': Yup... :'''Pearl''': It's getting really weird here! Steven, you were never like this, you were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you that! Aah! I... I can hear him, but I can't see him! I think he's in the walls! I don't know how he got there, and I don't know how to get him out! ''[call ends]'' :'''Steven''': ''[long gasp]'' Garnet, can you handle things on your own for a little bit? :'''Garnet''': No problem. Our students love me. ''[walks over to them]'' Let me tell you all the ways you can get hit by a car. :'''Steven''': Agh, Garnet! Forget it. I'll stay. I'll stay! :'''Pearl''': ''[in another call]'' STEVEN, THERE'S A SNAKE! :'''Steven''': Never mind! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Why play with sharp objects when you can play with my sharp wit? Crack jokes, not cookie jars, as I always say. Ha ha! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It's important to keep in mind that all these horrible things ''did'' happen to you in alternate timelines. Safety is fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Onion has led Garnet's students off a cliff]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, no! :'''Garnet''': Steven, quick! Sunstone can save them! :'''Steven''': Okay... ''[they fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Oh, yeah! :'''Pearl''': No! Let Rainbow save them! ''[fuses with Steven]'' :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': ''[showing his umbrella]'' I'll catch them with this! :'''Amethyst''': ''[rushing in]'' Hey, wait! ''I'' need Steven! :'''Steven''' ''[unfuses from Pearl]'' What is it, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': I just miss you, man! I haven't seen you for, like, eleven minutes! ===''Snow Day''=== :'''Amethyst''': ''[enters with fried eggs for eyes]'' You really gonna skip the most egg-ssential meal of the day? :'''Steven''': Of course not. I've got all my morning nutrients in this protein shake. :'''Amethyst''': ''[pokes yolk to leak]'' Dude, you're making me sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Man, you had a better work-life balance when the Diamonds were trying to destroy the planet. :'''Steven''': That was then. This is now. :'''Amethyst''': Hey, you know what we haven't done in a long time? ''[shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven]'' Steven Tag! :'''Steven''': Amethyst, what the heck?! :'''Amethyst''': You know the rules, buster. You get tagged, you have to turn into Steven. :'''Steven''': But I'm already Steven! :'''Amethyst''': Nah, bruh. ''Classic'' Steven. :'''Steven''': ''Classic Steven?'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl gets tagged in Garnet and Amethyst's new game of Steven Tag]'' :'''Steven''': Ha! Joke's on you! Pearl doesn't shapeshift! ''[Pearl starts to glow]'' Huh? :'''Pearl''': ''[shapeshifts into Steven]'' The power of Steven Tag COMPELS ME! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Wow. Good for her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It was a snowman… ''[takes off her visor]'' with Steven's jacket. NOOOOOO! :'''Steven''': ''[shivering]'' They'll never stop until they make me play. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I ''JOIN'' THE GAME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You shouldn't have messed with me. Huh? ''[gets tagged by Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Tag. :'''Steven''': ''[falls off the lighthouse]'' Oh, no. Is this the end of my adult life? ===''Why So Blue?''=== :'''Steven''' You're right. This is harder than usual. :'''Lapis''': You've just got to force them to stop. This is going to be a fight. They're not nice like me. :'''Steven''': Umm... :'''Lapis''': Exactly. :'''Steven''': They just don't understand that they're doing harm. Y-you get it. What made it click for you? :'''Lapis''': ''A cycle of horrible torture.'' ''[smiling]'' But other than that, living in nature, getting creative. :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, we can do that for them. :'''Lapis''': Okay. Just a little torture. :'''Steven''': N-no, just the other stuff. :'''Lapis''': ''[sighs]'' Fine, we'll try it your way. :''[They head back to the two Lapis Lazulis]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, so, why don't we explore the many things that you can do that don't involve destroying worlds? :'''"Mean" Lapis''': Should we listen to him? :'''"Nice" Lapis''': He is half-Diamond. Maybe, we should half-listen. :'''Steven''': I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go. ===''Little Graduation''=== :'''Lars''': ''[about Shep]'' Say hi to them for me. ===''Prickly Pair''=== :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't tell Pearl how I feel, 'cause she'd blame herself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't hear any more high and mighty advice from Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I'm so sick of Amethyst acting like she's so mature now! :'''Amethyst''': Why's it being so weirdly specific? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Hey, dude? :'''Pearl''': Is there anything you need to talk about? :'''Steven''': ''[softly]'' ... I think I've said enough. ===''In Dreams''=== :''[After Steven and Peridot have watched the'' Camp Pining Hearts ''reboot]'' :'''Steven''': Wha…? Wha…?! :'''Steven and Peridot''': '''''WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?''''' :'''Peridot''': What is with this Rodrigo guy?! He has no charisma! :'''Steven''': And can we talk about this cinematography?! :'''Peridot''': GAAAH, THEY'VE CHANGED ''ALL'' THE CHARACTERS, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEM! ''[grabs the television]'' HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! ''[sobs] Camp Pining Hearts'' helped me escape when everything around me was in chaos... :'''Steven''': ''CPH'' brought us together... :'''Peridot''': And now, LOOK AT THIS NIGHTMARE! ''[the TV suddenly shows Steven's dream]'' Steven?! You didn't tell me that they cast you! :'''Steven''': What?! They didn't. I-Is this... my dream from last night? ''[on the TV, after Steven falls and the dream ends, it goes back to'' Camp Pining Hearts ''again]'' Whoa! My- My powers must be interfering with the TV signal! :'''Peridot''': ''[delighted]'' Steven! Do you know what this means?! :'''Steven''': I have to start wearing a tinfoil hat? :'''Peridot''': No! It means that if we can put your dreams on the television, we can reboot the reboot! :'''Steven''': "Reboot the...?" Peridot, you're a genius! :'''Peridot''': I know. :'''Steven''': And, well, it might be fun to fix something that isn't the entire universe. :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs him with one arm]'' This is going to be the beginning of Peridot and Steven Productions! :'''Steven''': Yeah-- whoa! ''[topples onto her]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Peridot! We've always had something to fix together - the Cluster, the Diamonds, or Spinel! I don't think I know how to be a friend without something to fix! But I... I just can't do it anymore! I'm so tired... Now I'm even doing it in my dreams! I'm sorry, I can't do this for you. Please don't leave! Don't... leave! :''[The dream stops, in the manner of a TV turning off; Steven awakens, in tears, to Peridot's concerned voice]'' :'''Peridot''': Steven? Steven! STEVEN! Steven, I saw everything! It's-- It's fine! We don't have to do this anymore. ''[hugs him and starts tearing up]'' I don't care about the show, and I ''definitely'' don't care about Rodrigo! Hrrrgh, I'm such a clod! :'''Steven''': But I really wanted to spend time with you! I just... wanted an excuse to hang out. :'''Peridot''': We don't need an excuse to hang out. :'''Steven''': Can... we still watch ''CPH'' together? Even if it sucks? :'''Peridot''': ''[removes her visor to wipe her eyes, and smiles]'' Of course. :''[Later, they watch the show]'' :'''Jasmine''': ''[in the show, angrily]'' How could you lie to me like that, Rodrigo?! I guess you just can't help being a bad person! :''[Steven and Peridot laugh]'' :'''Peridot''': Jasmine, you just ''buried a body in the woods'', and now you're mad that Rodrigo cheated at ''cards?!'' :''[They laugh again]'' :'''Peridot''': This show is the worst! :'''Steven''': ''[smiling warmly at her]'' This show is the best. ===''Bismuth Casual''=== :''[At the Starlight Roller Rink]'' :'''Bismuth''': Woooow! So you mean to tell me people pay to have wheels strapped to their feet for fun? That is really something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patricia''': You should have seen Daniel earlier. He was all bent out of shape 'cos his mom tore into him over his last test scores! :'''Daniel''': ''[groans]'' You know, I kind of forgot about it for a sec. :'''Steven''': Heh... I know how that is. One time, White Diamond tore into me... literally! ''[laughs awkwardly]'' She, uh, she took my gem - I'm part Gem, by the way - she pulled it right out of my body. :'''Daniel''': Okay...? :'''Patricia''': So what grade are you in, Steven? :'''Steven''': Grade? Err, uh... sixteen? :'''Patricia''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Daniel''': So you're taking AP classes? :'''Steven''': Uh... :'''Connie''': Y'all ready to skate? :'''Patricia''': Heck, yeah! :''[Connie, Patricia and Daniel skate away]'' :'''Steven''': I really blew that one. Bet if they were enemy Gems, we'd be best friends by now. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl forms a roll of toilet paper from her gem and gives it to Bismuth]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, here, take this. Every human has at least one of these in their homes. Sometimes they even use it ''[secretively]'' for vandalism! Good luck out there! ''[starts skating away]'' :'''Bismuth''': Wait, where are you going? :'''Pearl''': You don't need me anymore, Bismuth - the humans already love you! I'm going to make some new connections of my own! ''[to a random skater]'' Hello, fellow skater! Would you like a fresh roll? ''[forms another roll]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight. Now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I'm even her best friend anymore... :'''Bismuth''': ''[pounds the table firmly]'' How long has this been going on? :'''Steven''': Err... couple of months. :'''Bismuth''': Listen, Steven. Pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but Connie came here to be with ''you.'' You've got nothing to mope about. :'''Steven''': But her friends think I'm weird. :'''Bismuth''': Of course you're weird! You're a Crystal Gem! Connie knows that, she's always known that! That never stopped you from being friends! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven collapses in the rink]'' :'''Connie''': Steven! Are you okay? :'''Steven''': Connie, I'm sorry... I don't wanna hold you back. :'''Connie''': I don't mind. :'''Steven''': You've got school, new friends, you're going places and... I'm happy for you. But I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect, but... BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SKATE! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Steven and Connie win the skating contest as Stevonnie]'' :'''Patricia''': Steven, Connie, that was amazing! :'''Daniel''': What the heck was that out there? :'''Connie''': Oh, fusion? Yeah, that's kind of our thing. :'''Steven''': It's something I picked up from my mom's side of the family. :'''Daniel''': The only thing I get from my mom's side of the family is ''stressed out.'' :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Same... ===''Together Forever''=== :''[After Connie turns down Steven's proposal]'' :'''Steven''': I don't get it. Ruby and Sapphire said I should go for it. :'''Garnet''': You can't trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. :'''Steven''': Then why didn't you stop me? :'''Garnet''': There was no future where you didn't propose to Connie. :'''Steven''': Of course... :'''Garnet''': ''[hugs him]'' Your soulmate is your complement, not your missing piece. Ruby and Sapphire love being together, but they each have their own individual lives. Whatever hole there is in your life, Steven, I want you to understand that Connie-Stevonnie won't be able to fill it. ===''Growing Pains''=== :'''Priyanka''': Steven, do you remember anything bad in your childhood that particularly stuck with you? :'''Steven''': I guess…I kind of freaked out when they [[w:Gem Glow|cancelled my favorite ice cream]]. And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster. And I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned. I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats. I almost turned so old I died. Amethyst almost died. Pearl [[w:Steven the Sword Fighter|''did'' die]]. Garnet got destabilized right in front of me. I woke up with a black eye, [[w:Jail Break (Steven Universe)|imprisoned on a spaceship]]-- :'''Priyanka''': Steven, this is serious. :'''Steven''': But that was just the early stuff. :'''Priyanka''': I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger. :'''Steven''': But, why am I only swelling up now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Come on, Steven, talk to me. :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I... well... I, um... I proposed to Connie! :'''Greg''': You what?! :'''Steven''': She said no. :'''Greg''': Oh, Steven... :'''Steven''': My body... it's reacting like it's the end of the world. I think I've seen the world almost end so many times now that ''everything'' that goes wrong feels that... that extreme! I should be feeling so good these days! The Earth is safe, it's Era 3... But I'm swelling up over these third era problems! What do I do? How do I move on from all the stuff I've been through? How do I live life if it always feels like I'm about to die?! :'''Greg''': It's gonna be all right, Stewball. I'm here for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I guess I thought I could just follow Connie to college, like if we got married I'd know what to do with myself. But I'm the one that's gotta figure that stuff out. :'''Greg''': Cut yourself some slack! It's okay to be worried and make some mistakes when you're figuring out what to do with your life. That's not unusual. Uh, well, the magic swelling is a little unusual, but that's okay too! If you want to be a giant boy, we can use the car wash as a shower. === ''Mr. Universe'' === :'''Steven''': I don't need this song! I need...I need what you had! :'''Greg''': What? :'''Steven''': I wish I could've grown up at a house like that. :'''Greg''': No you don't! :'''Steven''': Maybe your parents weren't so bad. Maybe they gave you curfews and chaperones and meatloaf f-for a reason! :'''Greg''': Steven, you don't know what they were like! :'''Steven''': They can't be worse then mom's family. I went halfway across the galaxy for them, and this was right here?! :'''Greg''': Steven, I couldn't do anything growing up. Everything I liked, or wore, wanted was always wrong! Trust me, you're better off then I was. :'''Steven''': I can't believe I never realized, you're... you're just like Mom! ''[turns pink as his grip tightens on the steering wheel]'' :'''Greg''': You grew up with actual freedom! :'''Steven''': I grew up in a ''van!'' I never went to school! I've never been to the doctor until two days ago! :'''Greg''': Steven! You're a gem! You're not like other kids! :'''Steven''': I could have done all that stuff! My problem isn't that I'm a gem, my problem is that I'm a ''UNIVERSE!!'' ===''Fragments''=== :'''Pearl''': How could this happen? You crashed the van with Greg inside? You know how fragile he is, these pink outbursts of yours are getting out of hand. :'''Steven''': It's not an ''[turns pink]'' OUTBURST! :'''Pearl''': See? This is exactly what I'm talking about! What's happening to you? :'''Steven''': Nothing! ...It's nothing. :'''Pearl''': S-Steven! Where are you going?! We're not pro- ''[Steven summons out a generated force field]'' Steven! Drop this wall! :'''Steven''': Pearl, sorry. I'm trying- I just… need… some space, OK? I'll be in my room. :'''Amethyst''': Not so fast, my dude. You gotta tell us what's going on. :'''Garnet''': It looks like Steven is trying to avoid a serious discussion about this ''all'' together. :'''Steven''': '''NO, I'M''' <big>'''NOT!!!'''</big> ''[slams his fist into the stairs, unleashing a room-wrecking shockwave]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you have got to calm down and talk to us! :'''Amethyst''': Just chill, man! :'''Steven''': Nnghh… :'''Pearl''': We need to do something about this before someone gets hurt! :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… :'''Garnet''': Don't let this power control you. You're better than this. :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… <big><big>'''''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!'''''</big></big> ''[notices the Gems are walking in slow-motion]'' I'm…speeding up again. I gotta get out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This thing with my powers is a real problem! :'''Jasper''': The only problem you have are your friends. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Jasper''': Can't you see they're holding you back? :'''Steven''': What? No, they're-- they're just worried about me. :'''Jasper''': They're afraid. Of your power. :'''Steven''': Yeah... yeah, I guess so... :'''Jasper''': You are too. You came all the way out here to hide from it. But ''I'm'' not here to hide. I don't stifle my anger or my power; I channel it into training! :'''Steven''': Oh, right... this destroyed forest. :'''Jasper''': I've got no one to serve, nowhere to go. All I have left is '''''POWER!''' [she punches a tree, completely smashing it apart]'' And in order to control that power, I have to ''use'' it. Those so-called "friends" of yours don't understand. They want you to feel bad for being yourself. :'''Steven''': I ''do'' feel bad… ''[steps over to another tree and punches it, cringing in pain and remorse]'' :'''Jasper''': YEAH, DESTROY THAT WEAKLING TREE! :'''Steven''': No! ''[kisses the tree, healing it and making grass sprout around it]'' :'''Jasper''': Ugh! Gross! That's disgusting! Bleh! No! The grass! ''[tears at it]'' Get outta here! ''[grabs Steven]'' Quit helping the local ecosystem recover! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Steven's new, more muscular form]'' :'''Jasper''': Hm. Not bad for three days of work. ''[Steven kisses one of his biceps]'' I didn't teach you that… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jasper''': What are you holding back for?! You think I can't take it? I'm not gonna coddle you, Steven! Do you wanna go home to your gems? :'''Steven''': No… :'''Jasper''': Are you afraid to be strong? Are you pathetic? Are you ''weak?'' :'''Steven''': <big>'''''I'M NOT!!!!!!!'''''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're right, Jasper. I ''have'' been holding back. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Having shattered Jasper after losing control in their rematch, Steven hurries back to his bathroom and dips the fragments into Diamond aura potions]'' :'''Steven''': Please, please let this work! ''[crying]'' Jasper, I'm sorry. Please… come back. ''[his tears add Pink's aura to the mix]'' Please… :''[After a while, Jasper's gem glows and heals, and she reforms]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[panting]'' Huh? What? You... ''shattered'' me? :'''Steven''': Jasper! I-I'm so sorry, I should have stopped! I-I just wasn't thinking! :'''Jasper''': ''[steps out of the bathtub and bows on one knee]'' I bow to your strength… ''my Diamond.'' :'''Steven''': ''[horrified]'' No...! ===''Homeworld Bound''=== :'''Pearl''': ''[knocks on the bathroom door]'' Steven? :'''Amethyst''': What's going on in there? ''[Jasper emerges]'' Jasper?! :'''Pearl''': What are you-? :'''Amethyst''': Where's Steven?! :'''Jasper''': Right here. ''[steps aside, revealing him looking scared and depressed]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven? Where have you been?! :''[Steven walks off upstairs to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': You can't just disappear for days without telling us! :'''Jasper''': My Diamond can do has he pleases. :'''Amethyst''': Wait, what?! :'''Pearl''': Why are you calling him that?! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': Where is he going?! :''[The Gems follow Steven to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': Steven, wait! :'''Garnet''': You don't need to go. :''[Steven turns pink and puts a barrier in front of the Gems as he sighs]'' :'''Amethyst''': What the HECK?! :'''Steven''': You guys… I love you, but you ''can't'' help me anymore. I've been avoiding the only people in the entire universe who can. Please, don't follow me. You too, Jasper. Find something better to do with your life. :'''Garnet''': Steven! Remember, we'll always be your family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': STEVEN! ''[grabs him and kisses him]'' :'''Steven''': ''[turning pink]'' Spinel, what is wrong with you?! :'''Spinel''': Oh, y'know, the usual. :'''Steven''': ''[turning back to normal]'' So, how've you been since, err...? :'''Spinel''': Since I tried to kill you? That was so embarrassing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[controlling White Diamond]'' Whoa. This is… so weird. I'm-I'm, I'm a Diamond. This- This is the last thing I needed to see. I don't wanna be you! I don't wanna be anything like you! Why won't you just go '''AWAY?!''' ''[punches a pillar]'' Don't hurt me! She can't hurt me. I'm controlling her. So why am I so afraid? ''[flashes back to his memory of White pulling his gemstone out; scowls angrily]'' '''''She's''''' the one who should be afraid. :'''White Diamond''': ''[talking in Steven's voice]'' What's- what's going on? ''[Steven starts controlling her like a puppet]'' What? No, stop it. I don't like this! :'''Steven''': Too bad. ''[force controls White by walking toward a pillar]'' :'''White Diamond''': Let me go! ''[grabs hold of the pillar]'' Please! You're scaring me! :'''Steven''': This is for EVERYTHING you put me through! ''[forces White Diamond’s head to slam into the pillar, in an attempt to shatter her gemstone, instead, snaps them out of it and hits his own head, allowing White Diamond to regain her control again]'' :'''White Diamond''': ''[breathing; horrified]'' What… what ''was'' that?! :'''Steven''': I-I don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': Hey, buddy, where you going? :'''Steven''': Wait a second - ''you'' used to have vengeful thoughts! :'''Spinel''': ''[awkwardly]'' Ooooh, yeah... but I don't get 'em anymore. :'''Steven''': How did you make them stop? :'''Spinel''': I met a little someone named Steven Universe! And he told me: ''[singing]'' [[w:Steven Universe: The Movie|IIIIII, I can make a chaaaaange! You can make a promise...]] :'''Steven''': Gah! Don't give me my own advice! ===''Everything's Fine''=== :'''Steven''': Hey, Connie, what's up? :'''Connie''': Steven! Good, you finally picked up! I can't believe we haven't spoken since the hospital. How are you? :'''Steven''': I'm great! Never been better! :'''Connie''': Really? Have you had any more issues with swelling and glowing pink? :'''Steven''': Um... Nope? Well, maybe, but how about you? How's college prep? :'''Connie''': Steven, that's, uh- It's fine, but what do you mean, maybe? :'''Steven''': Look, there's nothing to worry about. I'm OK. :'''Connie''': Steven... :'''Steven''': I should go. I don't wanna wake up the Gems. :'''Connie''': But they don't even sleep! :'''Steven''': Uh, bye! <hr width="50%"/> :''[While trying to help in Bismuth's workshop]'' :'''Steven''': Ooh, look at that. Now you have ''two'' anvils. :'''Bismuth''': Noooo! My anvil! My beautiful anvil! :'''Steven''': Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, my work here is done. Well, toodles! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Connie''': I knew it! You ''are'' swelling and glowing again. I've been trying to call you, but I came as soon as I saw this. ''[holds out her phone, on which Steven, glowing and swelled up, is doing the plant Steven's dance and looping the message "Steven's here to help!"]'' What is going on? :'''Steven''': I... broadcast my subconscious sometimes these days. It's really no big deal. :'''Connie''': Okay, but... I can tell something is bothering you. ''[holds out her phone again; the message makes some statics]'' :'''Steven''': Ah, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine! Awesome, in fact. Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well. :'''Greg''': Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong- :'''Steven''': Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry. :'''Connie''': We ''are'' worried! :'''Greg''': Steven, you know you can tell us anything. :'''Steven''': It's not that easy! You know what? I don't have to deal with this! ''[walks towards the door, but Amethyst, Pearl, and Connie block his way]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hold up, dude. :'''Garnet''': Steven, you need to stop running. :'''Greg''': Please. :''[Steven starts groaning in frustration, his head briefly swelling out of shape]'' :'''Connie''': Steven, we should get you back to the hospital. :'''Amethyst and Pearl''': HOSPITAL?! :'''Pearl''': When were you in the hospital?! :'''Connie''': You didn't tell them?! :'''Steven''': ''[becoming hysterical, starting to laugh uneasily]'' It wasn't that important, you guys! You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today, I broke an anvil - what teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement, but that's practically a rite of passage! I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And ''maybe'' I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only ''actually'' shattered Jasper! :''[Pearl gasps in horrified shock]'' :'''Amethyst''': WHAT?! :''[Garnet, Connie, and Greg gasp]'' :'''Connie''': You're- you're joking, right? :'''Steven''': Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix ''anything!'' I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it! :'''Garnet''': Steven... :'''Steven''': ''[sighs as he finally loses it]'' How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long? You have ''no'' idea how bad I am! Y-You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do! But ''that's'' not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse! You all think of me as some angel, but I'm not that kid anymore! ''[close-up on his scowl]'' I'm a fraud. ''[falls to the floor as his breaths become shaky]'' I'm a fraud. I'm a MONSTER! ''[massive pink spikes burst out of his back, tearing his shirt with everyone taking a step back, with plain terror]'' ===''I Am My Monster''=== :'''Greg''': ''[calling out]'' Just calm down, son! Take deep breaths! Deep breaths! :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! Relax, buddy! :'''Peridot''': Let's hurry up and clobber that thing! :'''Garnet''': Stand down. :'''Peridot''': What for?! :'''Lapis''': Where's Steven? :'''Garnet''': That ''is'' Steven. :'''Peridot, Bismuth, & Lapis''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!''' :''[Monster Steven bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall]'' :'''Garnet''': RUN! :'''Amethyst''': He's not listening to us at all! :'''Pearl''': What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer and then he's turned into this...''thing''! :'''Connie''': We can change him back, can't we? :'''Garnet''': As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll ''stay'' one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Spinel''': ''[jumps out of the Diamond ship, holding Steven's flip flop]'' You forgot your foot thong thingy! ''[sees Steven as a monster]'' OOOH, OH! :''[The Diamonds walk out of the ship]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What is going on here? :'''White Diamond''': Why is something like this ''always'' happening when we show up for a visit? :'''Blue Diamond''': What is that thing? :'''Garnet''': That "thing" is Steven. :''[Blue, White Diamond, and Spinel gasp in shock]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': WHAT?! :'''White Diamond''': Impossible! :'''Blue Diamond''': Is he corrupted? :'''Yellow Diamond''': But how? :'''Garnet''': Never mind that. We have to change him back. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Leave it to me. ''[she catches Monster Steven's head in an energy aura and tries to shrink it down, only for it to revert back immediately, to her confusion]'' With my new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. :'''Blue Diamond''': He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. I can help with that. ''[she sends a cloud of joy towards Monster Steven, but he blows it right back]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Look out! ''[the cloud hits her and Spinel, and they start laughing uncontrollably]'' Wow! Your new power didn't work either! :'''White Diamond''': ''[pushes Yellow and Blue aside and approaches Monster Steven]'' Enough. I know exactly how to help. If I connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. Now then, do you hear me, Steven? ''[her gem glows and the atmosphere's colors change]'' Just relax and let me in… Wait-- ''[her eyes glow, and she cries out and falls back as Yellow and Blue catch her]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': White! :'''Blue Diamond''': What happened?! :'''White Diamond''': ''[horrified]'' That's ''not'' Steven anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Guys, look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back! :'''Peridot''': I can't believe it! He's even stronger than the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment! :'''Pearl''': Deep inside this…monster, Steven must be in there, so angry. :'''Amethyst''': I knew something was going on. I- Why didn't I ''do'' something?! :'''Sapphire''': ''[crying]'' If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this ''forever!'' ''[starts sobbing along with Ruby while Lapis watches]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''[to Greg as he takes a few steps back]'' Dude, you should get outta here before you get hurt! :'''Greg''': ''[stomps his foot]'' NO! Everytime Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is ''my'' son! And he's right to be angry, because I didn't protect him! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[tearing up; crying]'' You didn't protect him from us! He's like this because of us! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[crying]'' ''We're'' the source of Steven's suffering! :'''Spinel''': ''[breaks down, sobbing hysterically and blowing her nose into her pigtails]'' THIS IS ''MY'' FAULT! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying]'' Spinel, don't be silly. Everyone knows that all of this is because of ''me!'' :'''Spinel''': No, it's ME! I tried to wipe his friends' memories, so he would die alone on a barren world! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying and sobbing]'' That was because you were angry with Pink! And if Pink hurt you, it was because ''I'' hurt ''her!'' Like I hurt Yellow and Blue and Steven and everyone in the entire universe! This is all ''my'' fault! :'''Connie''': YES, it is! ''[rides in on Lion]'' Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs ''us'' this time! We all have Steven when we needed him. But the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's ''always'' been there for us, so… how can we be there for him now? :''[Ruby and Sapphire smile and fuse back into Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': I know how. :''[Monster Steven breaks free of the Cluster's hand, defeats it and charges at the beach]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay! No time to waste. Yellow, make me as big as him! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Right. :'''Garnet''': Blue, lift everyone up! :'''Blue Diamond''': Of course. :'''Garnet''': Everyone, get in line! :'''Greg''': You got it! :'''Garnet''': It's time to show Steven… some love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': ''[hugging her arms tightly around Monster Steven while he's struggling; calmly]'' Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for ''you'' now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. :'''Lapis''': This is working? You hear us? Steven! ''[comes and hugs him]'' :''[Everyone comes in for the hug too]'' :'''Greg''': I'm here, Schtu-Ball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?! :'''Peridot''': Steven! You never gave up on me for some reasons I don't understand! I'll do the same for you! :'''Amethyst''': I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but… it's possible, man! :'''Pearl''': Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me! :''[Monster Steven stammers emotionally, and the Cluster's hand reappears and takes his]'' :'''Connie''': ''[jumps off Lion's head and lands on Monster Steven's nose, walks closer to his face and hugs him; sighs]'' Steven… you must have been ''so'' afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you took care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but… ''[kisses him with a pink droplet appearing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up, back to his normal human-self, still crying]'' Huh? ''[looks and sees everyone smiling at him]'' Wha…I… Did-Did I-I'm- ''[Lion pops up and licks him; chuckling]'' Lion. ''[hugs Lion]'' Lion! ''[begins sobbing, letting out his emotions]'' ===''The Future''=== :'''Jasper''': ''[bursts through the wall, staying aloof]'' Heard you’re leaving. ''[faces at Steven]'' I’m coming with you! :'''Steven''': Jasper, I’m going ''alone.'' :'''Jasper''': Then who will protect you?! :'''Steven''': I can protect myself. :'''Jasper''': ''[sighs disappointingly, scowls]'' I know. ''[punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction]'' Farewell, my Diamond. ''[headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one, walks through it]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa! Even Jasper's more upset than my own family! Maybe I need a round two? <hr width="50%"> :'''Garnet''': I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked, and I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving. But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of ''all'' of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there – whenever you need us. We love you, Steven. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:American sequel TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated action TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated drama TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:LGBT-related animated TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows due to coronavirus pandemic]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about teenagers]] [[Category:TV shows about alien visitations]] [[Category:Steven Universe]] 9hj2qzm006p1z2r3uy8xwphocwzp5pl 3147447 3147446 2022-07-26T15:00:40Z 2600:1700:C361:A40:511B:C420:E00E:10A4 /* A Very Special Episode */ wikitext text/x-wiki ---- :'''Seasons:''' [[Steven Universe (season 1)|1]] [[Steven Universe (season 2)|2]] [[Steven Universe (season 3)|3]] [[Steven Universe (season 4)|4]] [[Steven Universe (season 5)|5]] | [[Steven Universe: The Movie|Film]] | [[Steven Universe Future|Future]] | [[Steven Universe|Main]] ---- {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Steven Universe Future|Steven Universe Future]]''''' (2019–2020) is an animated limited series produced by [[w:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as an epilogue for [[Steven Universe (season 5)|Season 5]] of ''[[Steven Universe]]'' and ''[[Steven Universe: The Movie]]''. ==Episodes== ===''Little Homeschool''=== :'''Steven''': ''[narrating]'' Life is a little different these days. The Diamonds have ended their reign of terror. The intergalactic war is over, and Earth is officially an independent planet. We're all safe to explore our dreams. Lars opened up his own pastry shop, and it's got a real cute space gimmick goin' on. Sadie's been touring with The Suspects, promoting their new album, and Connie has been getting a head start on college prep. She's two years away from applying, but she says it doesn't hurt to start early. And speaking of higher education, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and I have been cooking up a dream of our own! :'''Cherry Quartz''': I have no idea who you're talking about. :'''Steven''': ''[chuckling]'' Don't worry about it. You'll learn all that, and more, right here at Little Homeschool. ''[gives Cherry Quartz a tour around]'' Here at Little Homeschool, you have a chance to rediscover yourself and learn to live on Earth if you like. You can forge a new identity. Grow your own ideas. And even find your inner Morp! :'''Cherry Quartz''': Wait, what's a "Morp"? :'''Steven''': That's ''exactly'' the kind of question we love to hear! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You know, half those Gems are soldiers who fought by your side before they were corrupted and turned into monsters. They're lost and confused and still a little messed up, but they're getting the help they need. :'''Jasper''': So? Who cares? :'''Steven''': ''[angrily]'' I do! And if I didn't care, you'd still be a monster too! :'''Jasper''': And what? Now I owe you? :'''Steven''': No! :'''Jasper''': You think because you did something I never asked for, I'm going to ''obey'' you? :'''Steven''': No! That's not-- :'''Jasper''': Like all the other Gems you ''use.'' :'''Steven''': ''[frustrated]'' AGGGHHH! I only came here because I felt bad for you, but all of this is your own fault! All the other Gems were corrupted by the Diamonds, but-- but you corrupted yourself just to win a fight! Which you ''LOST!'' To ''ME!'' No one's making you stay here all alone in the middle of nowhere, ready to fight a war that's been over for years! Are you just gonna sit here for centuries waiting for someone to give you a purpose?! ''Because I'm trying to give you one!'' :'''Jasper''': Listen, weakling! You might have Pink Diamond's gem, but you are ''not'' my Diamond, and I am ''not'' going to take orders from some weak, sappy, useless piece of dirt! If you think you're hard enough to tell me what to do, then fight me and prove it. :'''Steven''': Fine! :'''Jasper''': ''[suddenly smiles eagerly]'' Really? Huh, well then! Why don't you throw the first punch? ''[beckons tauntingly, and Steven punches her, pushing her back a few feet]'' Ooohh...! ''[laughs aggressively and charges back at him]'' :'''Steven''': I... guess we're doing this. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During his fight with Jasper, Steven bubbles a nest of baby birds to protect them]'' :'''Jasper''': Stop trying to help those tiny flapping Earthlings, and ''FIGHT ME!'' :'''Steven''': I'll never stop trying to help them, or you! :'''Jasper''': ''[kicking his shield away and pinning him down]'' I don't need your help! ''You're'' the one that needs help! You think you've beaten me, but you've never beaten me on your own! You've always been a fusion! You've always had your friends! Because you're nothing without them! You think everyone needs help! :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I-- I just-- :'''Jasper''': But ''it's only you. No one'' is as '''''pitiful''''' as '''''you!''''' :''[Shaken and angry, Steven starts to glow pink and pushes Jasper back with a sudden burst of strength, much to her surprise]'' :'''Steven''': ''[looking at himself]'' Whoa... what? ''[Jasper grins, and Steven angrily summons a bubble glove and charges at her with it]'' I'M... ''NOT''... PITIFUL! ''[sends her flying back through several trees]'' :'''Jasper''': ''[chuckles]'' Ha. Not bad. ''[continues to fight Steven, who catches her in the middle of a spin-dash]'' Nice catch. :'''Steven''': You should see my ''THROW!'' ''[tosses her up into the air, where she laughs as he hits her several more times]'' STOP LAUGHING! ''[sends her slamming back down into the ground, then gasps in shock and returns to normal]'' Jasper... :'''Jasper''': ''[gets up and shakes herself off, impressed]'' Huh. I didn't think you had it in you. :'''Steven''': I don't... I don't know what that was. I'm sorry. :'''Jasper''': ''[rolling her eyes]'' Ugh! Don't apologize. :'''Steven''': I... think I had you all wrong. Maybe you don't have something to learn from me. Maybe I have something to learn from you. ''[Jasper raises an eyebrow]'' Would you ever be interested in teaching? :'''Jasper''': ''[scoffs]'' Tssh! At your crummy little school? :'''Steven''': No, just me. You brought something out of me I didn't know I had. :'''Jasper''': ''[walks up to Steven, placing a hand on his shoulder]'' Consider that fight back there your first and ''only'' lesson. ''[begins walking off]'' :'''Steven''': Well... can I come back to see you sometime? :'''Jasper''': Do what you want. ===''Guidance''=== :'''Larimar''': What is this wonderful noise? :'''Steven''': Those are the joyful screams of people on a roller coaster. :'''Larimar''': Human screams are my favorite of the Earth's delights. I want to hear the human screams forever. :'''Steven''': Okay, that's kind of troubling. But your heart is in the right place. :'''Larimar''': One day, I'll make ''you'' scream, Steven. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Larimar''': I just wanted to say thanks for the amusement park job. I'm not great at the roller-coaster operation, we know, but I found out I'm good at handing out prizes to children, and I love their laughter. :'''Steven''': Aww. :'''Larimar''': It sounds just like screaming. ===''Rose Buds''=== :'''Holly Blue Agate''': Stop relaxing and get back to your posts! Ugh! How can you stand this total lack of order? :'''Amethyst Guard''': Chill out, Holly Blue. You know you want to. :'''Holly Blue Agate''' I give up. No one answers to me, and I answer to no one. I'd give anything for an order from the Diamonds, but all they talk about is Steven, Steven, Steven -- Steven! :'''Steven''': Hi, Holly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[seeing all of the Rose Quartzes being un-bubbled]'' So... Many... Rose Quartzes. How did the-- :'''Superfan Rose''': Oh, now that it's Era 3, we were all unbubbled, so now, we're making up for lost time. Hi! I'm Rose Quartz, and you, you're Steven! You are so much smaller than I imagined! Is it because you're half organic? Can you believe it, Rose Quartz?! :'''Hippie Rose''': It's like, we where bubbled, but now we're like, not bubbled. :'''Steven''': Th-It's really-- It's really great. ===''Volleyball''=== :'''Steven''': So, how would you like your magical spit administered today? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': Ah, geez, uh... the ''not'' kissing one? :'''Steven''': You got it! ''[licks his palm and applies healing spit onto the Ruby's gem, healing the crack]'' Man, what kind of enemies does the mayor have to keep you landing in my office? :'''Ruby bodyguard''': That's classified information, nurse-citizen Universe. :'''Steven''': Okay, well, try not to classify too hard out there. Oh, don't forget your lollipop! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Pink Pearl's cracked face]'' :'''Pearl''': How could White be so careless? :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[chuckling]'' Oh, no, Pearl. You've got it all wrong. Pink did this. :'''Pearl''': ''[shocked]'' What did you say? ''[approaches her]'' :'''Steven''': Pearl, no...! :'''Pink Pearl''': It's a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn't fit to run one, and, well, that set her off. :'''Pearl''': "Set her off"? What are you talking about? :'''Pink Pearl''': You remember how she was, with her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right. She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn't mean to hurt me. ''[chuckles]'' I just happened to be standing too close to her that time, and-- :'''Steven''': ''[covering his ears anxiously]'' Doesn't matter! I'm gonna fix it! :'''Pearl''': Destructive powers?! Pink didn't have destructive powers, she was a healer! She didn't throw tantrums, she kept her feelings secret! :'''Pink Pearl''': The Pink I knew couldn't keep a secret to save her gem. :'''Pearl''': Are you kidding?! If anything, she was ''too'' good at keeping secrets, even from me! :''[Frustrated by their arguing, Steven furiously snaps and starts glowing pink]'' :'''Steven''': ''[lividly]'' ''STOP IT!'' I CAN'T DEAL WITH ''ONE MORE'' HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! ''[Both Pearls gasp]'' I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT, I DON'T EVEN WANNA ''THINK'' ABOUT IT! :'''Pearl''': Steven! :'''Steven''': I JUST WANT TO '''''FIX IT!!!''''' :''[Steven unleashes a shockwave that causes cracks around the room. Pink Pearl cowers in fear, and Steven looks at his own reflection in shock and remorse]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pearl''': I'm sorry for not believing you. It looks like I'm still making excuses for her. :'''Pink Pearl''': ''[tearfully]'' Is that what ''I've'' been doing?! But... she didn't mean to! :'''Pearl''': But you were hurt! Badly hurt! :'''Pink Pearl''': I was badly hurt... How did ''you'' stop hurting? :'''Pearl''': ''[embraces her tightly]'' I didn't. :''[Pink Pearl returns the hug, and they fuse into Mega Pearl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm so sorry. The whole trip was for nothing. :'''Mega Pearl''': No, it wasn't for nothing. Your mother's Pearls never had the whole picture. One knew your mother was trying to change, but she couldn't understand why. The other never expected her to change at all. Now, I get to understand everything. Now, they finally get to have each other. :''[She separates into the two Pearls, peacefully holding hands]'' ===''Bluebird''=== :'''Steven''': Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys fused just because you hate me, didn't you? :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': Yes! :'''Steven Universe''': If that's the only reason, then it's no wonder you can't keep it together. :'''Aquamarine''': What are you talking about? :'''Steven Universe''': There are so many other reasons to fuse, like friendship and responsibility and... and love. Imagine how much better it would feel to fuse to support each other, instead of tearing someone down. Your life would fill with warmth and friendship and joy and love and-- :'''"Eyeball" Ruby''': ''[covering her ears]'' Wowie, wow! He is ''so'' annoying! :'''Aquamarine''': I hate him so much! :'''Aquamarine and "Eyeball" Ruby''': I know! Me too! ''[they fuse back into Bluebird Azurite]'' :'''Steven''': Are you kidding me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I'm really sorry, Dad. I never should have given Bluebird a chance. :'''Greg''': I love how you believe in everyone. You stuck to your principles, and I'm proud of you. I mean, everyone can change, but not everyone wants to. ===''A Very Special Episode''=== :''[Rainbow Quartz 2.0 unfuses and Steven answers the call]'' :'''Garnet''': Steven, you're late. I need you for the Sunstone safety geminar. :'''Steven''': Oh, no, that was today? But, Rainbow Quartz promised to hang out with Onion to- :'''Garnet''': Don't worry, ''I'll'' handle the geminar. I'll explain to them every possible future where they get hurt in this house. :'''Steven''': I don't know if that's a good idea. I'll be right there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ocean Jasper''': I slip on the stairs? :'''Garnet''': Yes. You shatter on impact. :''[Ocean Jasper, Earth and Heaven Beetle, and a Nephrite scream]'' :'''Steven''': ''[enters through the door]'' Garnet, I'm here. :'''Garnet''': Steven, help. I think I'm scaring them. :'''Steven''': It's okay. We got this. Let's get this safety Geminar started with a very special guest speaker. :''[They both fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Your rockin' pal Sunstone's here to shine. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Watch out, Sunstone. It's dangerous in here. :'''Sunstone''': Not if you practice home safety. Don't slip up. Clear objects off the stairs. Foul shot! Make sure you cover your trash, or you might attract wild animals. Come on. Let's go! Don't leave the water running, it could flood your house. Put protective covers on electrical outlets, especially when kids are around. And most importantly, turn off motion smoothing on your TV. :'''Ocean Jasper''': Wow, everything looks so much better! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steven receives a call from Pearl, who he left to take care of Onion]'' :'''Steven''': ''[exhausted]'' Please, please have everything under control... :'''Pearl''': STEVEN! EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL! :'''Steven''': Yup... :'''Pearl''': It's getting really weird here! Steven, you were never like this, you were such a good kid! I'm so sorry I never told you that! Aah! I... I can hear him, but I can't see him! I think he's in the walls! I don't know how he got there, and I don't know how to get him out! ''[call ends]'' :'''Steven''': ''[long gasp]'' Garnet, can you handle things on your own for a little bit? :'''Garnet''': No problem. Our students love me. ''[walks over to them]'' Let me tell you all the ways you can get hit by a car. :'''Steven''': Agh, Garnet! Forget it. I'll stay. I'll stay! :'''Pearl''': ''[in another call]'' STEVEN, THERE'S A SNAKE! :'''Steven''': Never mind! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': Why play with sharp objects when you can play with my sharp wit? Crack jokes, not cookie jars, as I always say. Ha ha! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It's important to keep in mind that all these horrible things ''did'' happen to you in alternate timelines. Safety is fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Onion has led Garnet's students off a cliff]'' :'''Pearl''': Oh, no! :'''Garnet''': Steven, quick! Sunstone can save them! :'''Steven''': Okay... ''[they fuse into Sunstone]'' :'''Sunstone''': Oh, yeah! :'''Pearl''': No! Let Rainbow save them! ''[fuses with Steven]'' :'''Rainbow Quartz 2.0''': ''[showing his umbrella]'' I'll catch them with this! :'''Amethyst''': ''[rushing in]'' Hey, wait! ''I'' need Steven! :'''Steven''' ''[unfuses from Pearl]'' What is it, Amethyst? :'''Amethyst''': I just miss you, man! I haven't seen you for, like, eleven minutes! ===''Snow Day''=== :'''Amethyst''': ''[enters with fried eggs for eyes]'' You really gonna skip the most egg-ssential meal of the day? :'''Steven''': Of course not. I've got all my morning nutrients in this protein shake. :'''Amethyst''': ''[pokes yolk to leak]'' Dude, you're making me sad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Man, you had a better work-life balance when the Diamonds were trying to destroy the planet. :'''Steven''': That was then. This is now. :'''Amethyst''': Hey, you know what we haven't done in a long time? ''[shapeshifts into 14-year-old Steven]'' Steven Tag! :'''Steven''': Amethyst, what the heck?! :'''Amethyst''': You know the rules, buster. You get tagged, you have to turn into Steven. :'''Steven''': But I'm already Steven! :'''Amethyst''': Nah, bruh. ''Classic'' Steven. :'''Steven''': ''Classic Steven?'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Pearl gets tagged in Garnet and Amethyst's new game of Steven Tag]'' :'''Steven''': Ha! Joke's on you! Pearl doesn't shapeshift! ''[Pearl starts to glow]'' Huh? :'''Pearl''': ''[shapeshifts into Steven]'' The power of Steven Tag COMPELS ME! :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Wow. Good for her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': It was a snowman… ''[takes off her visor]'' with Steven's jacket. NOOOOOO! :'''Steven''': ''[shivering]'' They'll never stop until they make me play. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. I ''JOIN'' THE GAME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You shouldn't have messed with me. Huh? ''[gets tagged by Sapphire]'' :'''Sapphire''': Tag. :'''Steven''': ''[falls off the lighthouse]'' Oh, no. Is this the end of my adult life? ===''Why So Blue?''=== :'''Steven''' You're right. This is harder than usual. :'''Lapis''': You've just got to force them to stop. This is going to be a fight. They're not nice like me. :'''Steven''': Umm... :'''Lapis''': Exactly. :'''Steven''': They just don't understand that they're doing harm. Y-you get it. What made it click for you? :'''Lapis''': ''A cycle of horrible torture.'' ''[smiling]'' But other than that, living in nature, getting creative. :'''Steven''': Yeah! Come on, we can do that for them. :'''Lapis''': Okay. Just a little torture. :'''Steven''': N-no, just the other stuff. :'''Lapis''': ''[sighs]'' Fine, we'll try it your way. :''[They head back to the two Lapis Lazulis]'' :'''Steven''': Hey, so, why don't we explore the many things that you can do that don't involve destroying worlds? :'''"Mean" Lapis''': Should we listen to him? :'''"Nice" Lapis''': He is half-Diamond. Maybe, we should half-listen. :'''Steven''': I'll take that as a "yes." Let's go. ===''Little Graduation''=== :'''Lars''': ''[about Shep]'' Say hi to them for me. ===''Prickly Pair''=== :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't tell Pearl how I feel, 'cause she'd blame herself! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I can't hear any more high and mighty advice from Garnet! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cactus Steven''': I'm so sick of Amethyst acting like she's so mature now! :'''Amethyst''': Why's it being so weirdly specific? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Hey, dude? :'''Pearl''': Is there anything you need to talk about? :'''Steven''': ''[softly]'' ... I think I've said enough. ===''In Dreams''=== :''[After Steven and Peridot have watched the'' Camp Pining Hearts ''reboot]'' :'''Steven''': Wha…? Wha…?! :'''Steven and Peridot''': '''''WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?''''' :'''Peridot''': What is with this Rodrigo guy?! He has no charisma! :'''Steven''': And can we talk about this cinematography?! :'''Peridot''': GAAAH, THEY'VE CHANGED ''ALL'' THE CHARACTERS, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THEM! ''[grabs the television]'' HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! ''[sobs] Camp Pining Hearts'' helped me escape when everything around me was in chaos... :'''Steven''': ''CPH'' brought us together... :'''Peridot''': And now, LOOK AT THIS NIGHTMARE! ''[the TV suddenly shows Steven's dream]'' Steven?! You didn't tell me that they cast you! :'''Steven''': What?! They didn't. I-Is this... my dream from last night? ''[on the TV, after Steven falls and the dream ends, it goes back to'' Camp Pining Hearts ''again]'' Whoa! My- My powers must be interfering with the TV signal! :'''Peridot''': ''[delighted]'' Steven! Do you know what this means?! :'''Steven''': I have to start wearing a tinfoil hat? :'''Peridot''': No! It means that if we can put your dreams on the television, we can reboot the reboot! :'''Steven''': "Reboot the...?" Peridot, you're a genius! :'''Peridot''': I know. :'''Steven''': And, well, it might be fun to fix something that isn't the entire universe. :'''Peridot''': ''[grabs him with one arm]'' This is going to be the beginning of Peridot and Steven Productions! :'''Steven''': Yeah-- whoa! ''[topples onto her]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': Peridot! We've always had something to fix together - the Cluster, the Diamonds, or Spinel! I don't think I know how to be a friend without something to fix! But I... I just can't do it anymore! I'm so tired... Now I'm even doing it in my dreams! I'm sorry, I can't do this for you. Please don't leave! Don't... leave! :''[The dream stops, in the manner of a TV turning off; Steven awakens, in tears, to Peridot's concerned voice]'' :'''Peridot''': Steven? Steven! STEVEN! Steven, I saw everything! It's-- It's fine! We don't have to do this anymore. ''[hugs him and starts tearing up]'' I don't care about the show, and I ''definitely'' don't care about Rodrigo! Hrrrgh, I'm such a clod! :'''Steven''': But I really wanted to spend time with you! I just... wanted an excuse to hang out. :'''Peridot''': We don't need an excuse to hang out. :'''Steven''': Can... we still watch ''CPH'' together? Even if it sucks? :'''Peridot''': ''[removes her visor to wipe her eyes, and smiles]'' Of course. :''[Later, they watch the show]'' :'''Jasmine''': ''[in the show, angrily]'' How could you lie to me like that, Rodrigo?! I guess you just can't help being a bad person! :''[Steven and Peridot laugh]'' :'''Peridot''': Jasmine, you just ''buried a body in the woods'', and now you're mad that Rodrigo cheated at ''cards?!'' :''[They laugh again]'' :'''Peridot''': This show is the worst! :'''Steven''': ''[smiling warmly at her]'' This show is the best. ===''Bismuth Casual''=== :''[At the Starlight Roller Rink]'' :'''Bismuth''': Woooow! So you mean to tell me people pay to have wheels strapped to their feet for fun? That is really something else. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Patricia''': You should have seen Daniel earlier. He was all bent out of shape 'cos his mom tore into him over his last test scores! :'''Daniel''': ''[groans]'' You know, I kind of forgot about it for a sec. :'''Steven''': Heh... I know how that is. One time, White Diamond tore into me... literally! ''[laughs awkwardly]'' She, uh, she took my gem - I'm part Gem, by the way - she pulled it right out of my body. :'''Daniel''': Okay...? :'''Patricia''': So what grade are you in, Steven? :'''Steven''': Grade? Err, uh... sixteen? :'''Patricia''': ''[laughs]'' :'''Daniel''': So you're taking AP classes? :'''Steven''': Uh... :'''Connie''': Y'all ready to skate? :'''Patricia''': Heck, yeah! :''[Connie, Patricia and Daniel skate away]'' :'''Steven''': I really blew that one.

''[starts skating away]'' :'''Bismuth''': Wait, where are you going? :'''Pearl''': You don't need me anymore, Bismuth - the humans already love you! I'm going to make some new connections of my own! ''[to a random skater]'' Hello, fellow skater! Would you like a fresh roll? ''[forms another roll]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe, things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight.

Pearl brought me here to set me up with her friends, but Connie came here to be with ''you.'' You've got nothing to mope about. :'''Steven''': But her friends think I'm weird. :'''Bismuth''': Of course you're weird! You're a Crystal Gem! Connie knows that, she's always known that!

Yeah, that's kind of our thing. :'''Steven''': It's something I picked up from my mom's side of the family. :'''Daniel''': The only thing I get from my mom's side of the family is ''stressed out.'' :'''Steven''': ''[chuckles]'' Same... ===''Together Forever''=== :''[After Connie turns down Steven's proposal]'' :'''Steven''': I don't get it. Ruby and Sapphire said I should go for it. :'''Garnet''': You can't trust love advice from those two hopeless romantics. :'''Steven''': Then why didn't you stop me? :'''Garnet''': There was no future where you didn't propose to Connie. :'''Steven''': Of course... :'''Garnet''': ''[hugs him]'' Your soulmate is your complement, not your missing piece.

And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster. And I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned. I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats. I almost turned so old I died. Amethyst almost died. Pearl [[w:Steven the Sword Fighter|''did'' die]]. Garnet got destabilized right in front of me. I woke up with a black eye, [[w:Jail Break (Steven Universe)|imprisoned on a spaceship]]-- :'''Priyanka''': Steven, this is serious. :'''Steven''': But that was just the early stuff. :'''Priyanka''': I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that's affecting your ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way. You've been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger. :'''Steven''': But, why am I only swelling up now? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greg''': Come on, Steven, talk to me. :'''Steven''': ''[tearing up]'' I... well... I, um... I proposed to Connie! :'''Greg''': You what?! :'''Steven''': She said no. :'''Greg''': Oh, Steven... :'''Steven''': My body... it's reacting like it's the end of the world. I think I've seen the world almost end so many times now that ''everything'' that goes wrong feels that... that extreme! I should be feeling so good these days! The Earth is safe, it's Era 3... But I'm swelling up over these third era problems! What do I do? How do I move on from all the stuff I've been through? How do I live life if it always feels like I'm about to die?! :'''Greg''': It's gonna be all right, Stewball. I'm here for you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': I guess I thought I could just follow Connie to college, like if we got married I'd know what to do with myself. But I'm the one that's gotta figure that stuff out. :'''Greg''': Cut yourself some slack! It's okay to be worried and make some mistakes when you're figuring out what to do with your life. That's not unusual. Uh, well, the magic swelling is a little unusual, but that's okay too!

Maybe they gave you curfews and chaperones and meatloaf f-for a reason! :'''Greg''': Steven, you don't know what they were like! :'''Steven''': They can't be worse then mom's family. I went halfway across the galaxy for them, and this was right here?! :'''Greg''': Steven, I couldn't do anything growing up. Everything I liked, or wore, wanted was always wrong! Trust me, you're better off then I was. :'''Steven''': I can't believe I never realized, you're... you're just like Mom! ''[turns pink as his grip tightens on the steering wheel]'' :'''Greg''': You grew up with actual freedom! :'''Steven''': I grew up in a ''van!'' I never went to school! I've never been to the doctor until two days ago! :'''Greg''': Steven! You're a gem! You're not like other kids! :'''Steven''': I could have done all that stuff! My problem isn't that I'm a gem, my problem is that I'm a ''UNIVERSE!!'' ===''Fragments''=== :'''Pearl''': How could this happen? You crashed the van with Greg inside?

You're better than this. :'''Steven''': NNGGHH… <big><big>'''''LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!'''''</big></big> ''[notices the Gems are walking in slow-motion]'' I'm…speeding up again. I gotta get out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': This thing with my powers is a real problem! :'''Jasper''': The only problem you have are your friends. :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Jasper''': Can't you see they're holding you back? :'''Steven''': What? No, they're-- they're just worried about me. :'''Jasper''': They're afraid. Of your power. :'''Steven''': Yeah... yeah, I guess so... :'''Jasper''': You are too. You came all the way out here to hide from it. But ''I'm'' not here to hide. I don't stifle my anger or my power; I channel it into training! :'''Steven''': Oh, right... this destroyed forest. :'''Jasper''': I've got no one to serve, nowhere to go. All I have left is '''''POWER!''' [she punches a tree, completely smashing it apart]'' And in order to control that power, I have to ''use'' it. Those so-called "friends" of yours don't understand. They want you to feel bad for being yourself. :'''Steven''': I ''do'' feel bad… ''[steps over to another tree and punches it, cringing in pain and remorse]'' :'''Jasper''': YEAH, DESTROY THAT WEAKLING TREE! :'''Steven''': No! ''[kisses the tree, healing it and making grass sprout around it]'' :'''Jasper''': Ugh! Gross! That's disgusting! Bleh! No! The grass! ''[tears at it]'' Get outta here! ''[grabs Steven]'' Quit helping the local ecosystem recover! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On Steven's new, more muscular form]'' :'''Jasper''': Hm. Not bad for three days of work. ''[Steven kisses one of his biceps]'' I didn't teach you that… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jasper''': What are you holding back for?! You think I can't take it? I'm not gonna coddle you, Steven! Do you wanna go home to your gems? :'''Steven''': No… :'''Jasper''': Are you afraid to be strong? Are you pathetic? Are you ''weak?'' :'''Steven''': <big>'''''I'M NOT!!!!!!!'''''</big> <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': You're right, Jasper. I ''have'' been holding back. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Having shattered Jasper after losing control in their rematch, Steven hurries back to his bathroom and dips the fragments into Diamond aura potions]'' :'''Steven''': Please, please let this work!

''shattered'' me? :'''Steven''': Jasper! I-I'm so sorry, I should have stopped! I-I just wasn't thinking! :'''Jasper''': ''[steps out of the bathtub and bows on one knee]'' I bow to your strength… ''my Diamond.'' :'''Steven''': ''[horrified]'' No...! ===''Homeworld Bound''=== :'''Pearl''': ''[knocks on the bathroom door]'' Steven? :'''Amethyst''': What's going on in there? ''[Jasper emerges]'' Jasper?! :'''Pearl''': What are you-? :'''Amethyst''': Where's Steven?! :'''Jasper''': Right here. ''[steps aside, revealing him looking scared and depressed]'' :'''Amethyst''': Steven? Where have you been?! :''[Steven walks off upstairs to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': You can't just disappear for days without telling us! :'''Jasper''': My Diamond can do has he pleases. :'''Amethyst''': Wait, what?! :'''Pearl''': Why are you calling him that?! :'''Garnet''': Steven! :'''Pearl''': Where is he going?! :''[The Gems follow Steven to his conservatory]'' :'''Pearl''': Steven, wait! :'''Garnet''': You don't need to go. :''[Steven turns pink and puts a barrier in front of the Gems as he sighs]'' :'''Amethyst''': What the HECK?! :'''Steven''': You guys… I love you, but you ''can't'' help me anymore. I've been avoiding the only people in the entire universe who can. Please, don't follow me. You too, Jasper. Find something better to do with your life. :'''Garnet''': Steven! Remember, we'll always be your family. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': STEVEN! ''[grabs him and kisses him]'' :'''Steven''': ''[turning pink]'' Spinel, what is wrong with you?! :'''Spinel''': Oh, y'know, the usual. :'''Steven''': ''[turning back to normal]'' So, how've you been since, err...? :'''Spinel''': Since I tried to kill you? That was so embarrassing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[controlling White Diamond]'' Whoa. This is… so weird. I'm-I'm, I'm a Diamond. This- This is the last thing I needed to see. I don't wanna be you! I don't wanna be anything like you! Why won't you just go '''AWAY?!''' ''[punches a pillar]'' Don't hurt me! She can't hurt me. I'm controlling her. So why am I so afraid? ''[flashes back to his memory of White pulling his gemstone out; scowls angrily]'' '''''She's''''' the one who should be afraid. :'''White Diamond''': ''[talking in Steven's voice]'' What's- what's going on? ''[Steven starts controlling her like a puppet]'' What? No, stop it. I don't like this! :'''Steven''': Too bad. ''[force controls White by walking toward a pillar]'' :'''White Diamond''': Let me go! ''[grabs hold of the pillar]'' Please! You're scaring me! :'''Steven''': This is for EVERYTHING you put me through! ''[forces White Diamond’s head to slam into the pillar, in an attempt to shatter her gemstone, instead, snaps them out of it and hits his own head, allowing White Diamond to regain her control again]'' :'''White Diamond''': ''[breathing; horrified]'' What… what ''was'' that?! :'''Steven''': I-I don't know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Spinel''': Hey, buddy, where you going? :'''Steven''': Wait a second - ''you'' used to have vengeful thoughts! :'''Spinel''': ''[awkwardly]'' Ooooh, yeah... but I don't get 'em anymore. :'''Steven''': How did you make them stop? :'''Spinel''': I met a little someone named Steven Universe! And he told me: ''[singing]'' [[w:Steven Universe: The Movie|IIIIII, I can make a chaaaaange! You can make a promise...]] :'''Steven''': Gah! Don't give me my own advice! ===''Everything's Fine''=== :'''Steven''': Hey, Connie, what's up? :'''Connie''': Steven! Good, you finally picked up! I can't believe we haven't spoken since the hospital. How are you? :'''Steven''': I'm great! Never been better! :'''Connie''': Really? Have you had any more issues with swelling and glowing pink? :'''Steven''': Um... Nope? Well, maybe, but how about you? How's college prep? :'''Connie''': Steven, that's, uh- It's fine, but what do you mean, maybe? :'''Steven''': Look, there's nothing to worry about. I'm OK. :'''Connie''': Steven... :'''Steven''': I should go. I don't wanna wake up the Gems. :'''Connie''': But they don't even sleep! :'''Steven''': Uh, bye! <hr width="50%"/> :''[While trying to help in Bismuth's workshop]'' :'''Steven''': Ooh, look at that. Now you have ''two'' anvils. :'''Bismuth''': Noooo! My anvil! My beautiful anvil! :'''Steven''': Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, my work here is done. Well, toodles! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Connie''': Steven! :'''Steven''': Huh? :'''Connie''': I knew it! You ''are'' swelling and glowing again. I've been trying to call you, but I came as soon as I saw this. ''[holds out her phone, on which Steven, glowing and swelled up, is doing the plant Steven's dance and looping the message "Steven's here to help!"]'' What is going on? :'''Steven''': I... broadcast my subconscious sometimes these days. It's really no big deal. :'''Connie''': Okay, but... I can tell something is bothering you. ''[holds out her phone again; the message makes some statics]'' :'''Steven''': Ah, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine! Awesome, in fact. Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well. :'''Greg''': Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong- :'''Steven''': Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry. :'''Connie''': We ''are'' worried! :'''Greg''': Steven, you know you can tell us anything. :'''Steven''': It's not that easy! You know what? I don't have to deal with this! ''[walks towards the door, but Amethyst, Pearl, and Connie block his way]'' :'''Amethyst''': Hold up, dude. :'''Garnet''': Steven, you need to stop running. :'''Greg''': Please. :''[Steven starts groaning in frustration, his head briefly swelling out of shape]'' :'''Connie''': Steven, we should get you back to the hospital. :'''Amethyst and Pearl''': HOSPITAL?! :'''Pearl''': When were you in the hospital?! :'''Connie''': You didn't tell them?! :'''Steven''': ''[becoming hysterical, starting to laugh uneasily]'' It wasn't that important, you guys! You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today, I broke an anvil - what teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement, but that's practically a rite of passage! I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And ''maybe'' I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only ''actually'' shattered Jasper! :''[Pearl gasps in horrified shock]'' :'''Amethyst''': WHAT?! :''[Garnet, Connie, and Greg gasp]'' :'''Connie''': You're- you're joking, right? :'''Steven''': Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix ''anything!'' I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it! :'''Garnet''': Steven... :'''Steven''': ''[sighs as he finally loses it]'' How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long? You have ''no'' idea how bad I am! Y-You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do! But ''that's'' not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse! You all think of me as some angel, but I'm not that kid anymore! ''[close-up on his scowl]'' I'm a fraud. ''[falls to the floor as his breaths become shaky]'' I'm a fraud. I'm a MONSTER! ''[massive pink spikes burst out of his back, tearing his shirt with everyone taking a step back, with plain terror]'' ===''I Am My Monster''=== :'''Greg''': ''[calling out]'' Just calm down, son! Take deep breaths! Deep breaths! :'''Amethyst''': Yeah! Relax, buddy! :'''Peridot''': Let's hurry up and clobber that thing! :'''Garnet''': Stand down. :'''Peridot''': What for?! :'''Lapis''': Where's Steven? :'''Garnet''': That ''is'' Steven. :'''Peridot, Bismuth, & Lapis''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!''' :''[Monster Steven bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall]'' :'''Garnet''': RUN! :'''Amethyst''': He's not listening to us at all! :'''Pearl''': What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer and then he's turned into this...''thing''! :'''Connie''': We can change him back, can't we? :'''Garnet''': As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll ''stay'' one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Spinel''': ''[jumps out of the Diamond ship, holding Steven's flip flop]'' You forgot your foot thong thingy! ''[sees Steven as a monster]'' OOOH, OH! :''[The Diamonds walk out of the ship]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': What is going on here? :'''White Diamond''': Why is something like this ''always'' happening when we show up for a visit? :'''Blue Diamond''': What is that thing? :'''Garnet''': That "thing" is Steven. :''[Blue, White Diamond, and Spinel gasp in shock]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': WHAT?! :'''White Diamond''': Impossible! :'''Blue Diamond''': Is he corrupted? :'''Yellow Diamond''': But how? :'''Garnet''': Never mind that. We have to change him back. :'''Yellow Diamond''': Leave it to me. ''[she catches Monster Steven's head in an energy aura and tries to shrink it down, only for it to revert back immediately, to her confusion]'' With my new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. :'''Blue Diamond''': He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. I can help with that. ''[she sends a cloud of joy towards Monster Steven, but he blows it right back]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': Look out! ''[the cloud hits her and Spinel, and they start laughing uncontrollably]'' Wow! Your new power didn't work either! :'''White Diamond''': ''[pushes Yellow and Blue aside and approaches Monster Steven]'' Enough. I know exactly how to help. If I connect with him and he speaks through me, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. Now then, do you hear me, Steven? ''[her gem glows and the atmosphere's colors change]'' Just relax and let me in… Wait-- ''[her eyes glow, and she cries out and falls back as Yellow and Blue catch her]'' :'''Yellow Diamond''': White! :'''Blue Diamond''': What happened?! :'''White Diamond''': ''[horrified]'' That's ''not'' Steven anymore! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Amethyst''': Guys, look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back! :'''Peridot''': I can't believe it! He's even stronger than the Cluster! :'''Bismuth''': Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment! :'''Pearl''': Deep inside this…monster, Steven must be in there, so angry. :'''Amethyst''': I knew something was going on. I- Why didn't I ''do'' something?! :'''Sapphire''': ''[crying]'' If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this ''forever!'' ''[starts sobbing along with Ruby while Lapis watches]'' :'''Amethyst''': ''[to Greg as he takes a few steps back]'' Dude, you should get outta here before you get hurt! :'''Greg''': ''[stomps his foot]'' NO! Everytime Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is ''my'' son! And he's right to be angry, because I didn't protect him! :'''Blue Diamond''': ''[tearing up; crying]'' You didn't protect him from us! He's like this because of us! :'''Yellow Diamond''': ''[crying]'' ''We're'' the source of Steven's suffering! :'''Spinel''': ''[breaks down, sobbing hysterically and blowing her nose into her pigtails]'' THIS IS ''MY'' FAULT! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying]'' Spinel, don't be silly. Everyone knows that all of this is because of ''me!'' :'''Spinel''': No, it's ME! I tried to wipe his friends' memories, so he would die alone on a barren world! :'''White Diamond''': ''[crying and sobbing]'' That was because you were angry with Pink! And if Pink hurt you, it was because ''I'' hurt ''her!'' Like I hurt Yellow and Blue and Steven and everyone in the entire universe! This is all ''my'' fault! :'''Connie''': YES, it is! ''[rides in on Lion]'' Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about you! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are, because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs ''us'' this time! We all have Steven when we needed him. But the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's ''always'' been there for us, so… how can we be there for him now? :''[Ruby and Sapphire smile and fuse back into Garnet]'' :'''Garnet''': I know how. :''[Monster Steven breaks free of the Cluster's hand, defeats it and charges at the beach]'' :'''Garnet''': Okay! No time to waste. Yellow, make me as big as him! :'''Yellow Diamond''': Right. :'''Garnet''': Blue, lift everyone up! :'''Blue Diamond''': Of course. :'''Garnet''': Everyone, get in line! :'''Greg''': You got it! :'''Garnet''': It's time to show Steven… some love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Garnet''': ''[hugging her arms tightly around Monster Steven while he's struggling; calmly]'' Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for ''you'' now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. :'''Lapis''': This is working? You hear us? Steven! ''[comes and hugs him]'' :''[Everyone comes in for the hug too]'' :'''Greg''': I'm here, Schtu-Ball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?! :'''Peridot''': Steven! You never gave up on me for some reasons I don't understand! I'll do the same for you! :'''Amethyst''': I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but… it's possible, man! :'''Pearl''': Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me! :''[Monster Steven stammers emotionally, and the Cluster's hand reappears and takes his]'' :'''Connie''': ''[jumps off Lion's head and lands on Monster Steven's nose, walks closer to his face and hugs him; sighs]'' Steven… you must have been ''so'' afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you took care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but… ''[kisses him with a pink droplet appearing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Steven''': ''[wakes up, back to his normal human-self, still crying]'' Huh? ''[looks and sees everyone smiling at him]'' Wha…I… Did-Did I-I'm- ''[Lion pops up and licks him; chuckling]'' Lion. ''[hugs Lion]'' Lion! ''[begins sobbing, letting out his emotions]'' ===''The Future''=== :'''Jasper''': ''[bursts through the wall, staying aloof]'' Heard you’re leaving. ''[faces at Steven]'' I’m coming with you! :'''Steven''': Jasper, I’m going ''alone.'' :'''Jasper''': Then who will protect you?! :'''Steven''': I can protect myself. :'''Jasper''': ''[sighs disappointingly, scowls]'' I know. ''[punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction]'' Farewell, my Diamond. ''[headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one, walks through it]'' :'''Steven''': Whoa! Even Jasper's more upset than my own family! Maybe I need a round two? <hr width="50%"> :'''Garnet''': I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked, and I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving. But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of ''all'' of them. Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there – whenever you need us. We love you, Steven. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related comedy TV shows]] [[Category:2010s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:2020s American LGBT-related drama TV shows]] [[Category:American sequel TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:Anime-influenced Western animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated action TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comic science fiction TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated drama TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated science fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:LGBT-related animated TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows due to coronavirus pandemic]] [[Category:Cartoon Network original series]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:Cartoon Network Studios]] [[Category:Animated TV shows about teenagers]] [[Category:TV shows about alien visitations]] [[Category:Steven Universe]] rgslyag3dmqsdj02gxhsap9peq9sr2x The Orville 0 222696 3147570 3147190 2022-07-26T17:53:17Z Ooznoz 2443114 /* From Unknown Graves [3.7] */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''The Orville''''' is a [[w:Science fiction|science fiction]] [[w:Comedy-drama|comedy-drama]] television series created by and starring [[Seth MacFarlane]] for the [[w:Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox Broadcasting Company]]. The series relates the adventures of Captain Ed Mercer, his first officer (and ex-wife) Kelly Grayson, and the crew of the ''Orville'' as they embark on various diplomatic and exploratory missions. ==Season 1== ===''Old Wounds'' [1.01]=== :''[Mercer and Gordon see the'' Orville ''for the first time from the window of their shuttle.]'' :'''Ed Mercer''': It's not bad, right? :'''Gordon Malloy''': No, it's good. You paint some flames on the side, maybe like a rainbow unicorn, you got something. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': All right, Lieutenant Commander Bortus, our second officer. You know, I've never met a single-gender species before. Your entire species is male, isn't it? :'''Bortus''': That is correct, sir. :'''Mercer''': So, there's probably not a lot of arguments about leaving the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right? :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan tone]'' No. Moclans urinate only once per year. :'''Mercer''': Really? That's... Me, I'm-I'm up two, three times a night. :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan]'' That is unfortunate. :'''Mercer''': ''[chagrined]'' It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''John LaMarr''': Figured I'd introduce myself since we're gonna be working full shifts together. :'''Gordon''': ''[in good humor]'' Translation: You want to make sure I'm not a jerk. :'''LaMarr''': Something like that. :'''Gordon''': ''[facetiously]'' Dude, I'm such a jerk, it's ridiculous. :'''LaMarr''': ''[also facetious]'' Okay, well, so am I, so this is gonna work out great. <hr width='50%'> :''[The'' Orville ''officers witness a demonstration of a quantum-time accelerator, which rapidly ages a banana.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[unimpressed]'' So, it's an anti-banana ray. :'''Kelly Grayson''': ''[also unimpressed]'' It's really interesting. :'''Mercer''': We need no longer fear the banana. :'''Kelly''': Does it work on all fruit? :'''Mercer''': What about salads? <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Door's jammed. Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale. She is... my pet. :'''Alara''': ''[snidely]'' Woof. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Kelly are about to be killed by criss-crossing lasers closing in on them.]'' :'''Mercer''': Oh, God. No, no, no. Uh, uh... ''I'm going to the bathroom to read!'' :''[The lasers abruptly stop.]'' :'''Kelly''': What the hell was that? :'''Mercer''': It was... [[w:Elvis Presley|Elvis Presley's]] last words.

What is this [[w:Reality television|reality television]]? :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': The best exhibit we've ever had. ===''About a Girl'' [1.03]=== :'''Isaac''': Captain, I do not understand the reason for this conflict. Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''. Without Rudolph's nose, Santa would not have been able to complete his voyage. :'''LaMarr''': Looks like Santa got pretty lucky, huh? :'''Bortus''': Christmas would have been ruined had Rudolph had been euthanized at birth, as his father wished. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I don't... I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying. Alara takes his uninjured hand to comfort him.]'' ===''Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes'' [2.04]=== :'''Mercer''': You know, you got to pick a movie some night. I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice. ''[getting emotional]'' So as far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to [[Hell]]. ===''Identity, part 1'' [2.08]=== :''[Mercer is asking permission to take a disabled Isaac back to his home world.]'' :'''Mercer''': Look, sir, Isaac is a member of my crew. We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you. Please, don't go. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[to Ty and Marcus]'' Remember to consume your daily required nutrients and obey your mother's commands. I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database. Search your files. :''[Isaac consults his files and walks up in front of the crew.]'' :'''Isaac''': [[Sally Field|I want to say "Thank You" to you all. I wanted more than anything to have your respect. And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me.]] ===''Identity, part 2'' [2.09]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[arriving late to a strategy session in the cargo bay]'' Sorry, I was in the pee corner. :'''Kelly''': The what? :'''Gordon''': Oh. Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty''). If you do not comply, you will be deactivated. :'''Isaac''': Very well. :''[Isaac approaches, then 'kills' Primary by tearing his head from his body. Isaac then shoots the Kaylon guards.]'' :'''Isaac''': Deactivation complete. <hr width='50%'> :''[A Krill fleet has arrived and successfully engaged the Kaylon ships.]'' :'''Kelly''': ''[on the viewscreen]'' Captain Mercer, meet Captain Dalak. :'''Mercer''': It's good to meet you, Captain. We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin''). He's a Union officer. Do your job. :'''Mercer''': ''[in all seriousness]'' I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. <hr width='50%'> :''[Leyna is holding a knife to Talla's throat.]'' :'''Talla''': You ever met a Xelayan before? :'''Leyna''': ''[scoffs]'' No. :''[Talla uses her superhuman strength to throw Leyna across the room and into the wall, hard]'' :'''Talla''': You have, now. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have just signed a preliminary peace agreement between the Union and the Krill.]'' :'''Mercer''': I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples. :'''Krill ambassador''': We will see. A peace is only as strong as those who uphold it. :'''Kelly''': And, of course, trust is earned. :'''Krill ambassador''': We agree on ''that'', Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I count on you, man. :'''Gordon''': Dude, you can always count on me. That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear. I mean, maybe, like, a really hot girl, but other than that, it's rock-solid. :'''Mercer''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks. ===''Lasting Impressions'' [2.11]=== :'''Laura''': ''[video message on her phone to the future]'' Okay. Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this. She's clearly asking her friend where to find the nearest repair service for her device. But instead of writing "Wireless Telecommunications Facility", she just writes "WTF". <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus and Klyden are trying cigarettes for the first time.]'' :'''Klyden''': The sensation is... wonderful. :'''Bortus''': I have never experienced such a flavor. :'''Klyden''': I feel as if I have been standing my entire life and I just sat down. :''[They continue smoking.]'' :'''Klyden''': The ''tingles!'' Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love. We should all be so rare. ===''Sanctuary'' [2.12]=== :''[Admiral Halsey relates that, in addition to a weapons upgrade, the'' Orville ''is to transport a Moclan engineer to another vessel.]'' :'''Mercer''': Sir, with all due respect, we're starting to feel like a taxi cab here. :'''Halsey''': I know. But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out. ''[ends transmission]'' :'''Kelly''': I'll go start the meter. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': It was always inevitable that fate would beckon us from the shadows. "[[w:Mahatma Ghandi|Every revolution begins with a single act of defiance]]." :'''Kelly''': One of yours? :'''Heveena''': Actually, I don't know who said it. <hr width='50%'> :''[Heveena listens to the opening lines to the song'' "[[w:9 to 5 (Dolly Parton song)|9 to 5]]" ''and is greatly moved.]'' :'''Heveena''': Who is she? :'''Mercer''': That's, uh, [[w:Dolly Parton|Dolly Parton]]. :''[Heveena continues listening to the song.]'' :'''Heveena''': ''[awed]'' She speaks with the might of a hundred soldiers. :'''Mercer''': ''[a little bemused]'' Yeah. Yeah, I guess she does. :'''Heveena''': This is the voice of our revolution. :'''Mercer''': Well, you know, there's actually a whole bunch of stuff-- :'''Heveena''': ''No!'' It is she. :'''Mercer''': Okay, then. Go, Dolly. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to the assembled admirals]'' Look, I understand what's at stake. I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia." ''[Talla laughs]'' He called her Fallopia. :'''Mercer''': They heard you the first time, thanks. ''[Everyone laughs]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': Just for the record, the dysonium field condenser analysis is something a first-year cadet could do. Why's it always gotta be ''me''? :'''Kelly''': We all just sleep better at night knowing it gets your personal tender-loving care. :'''LaMarr''': ''[walking out]'' Well, just pop a sleeping pill. :'''Kelly''': I'll try that, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I don't know how the food synthesizers are gonna replicate enough wine for two Kellys. <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Kelly''': ''[to Kelly]'' You're not married. You're not a captain. You "maintain a distance" from your crew. There were three things I wanted in life, and you haven't come close on one. You've made my future a disappointment. <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Mercer''': Hey. :'''Past Kelly''': Hi. :'''Past Mercer''': I hope I'm not calling too early. Did I wake you up? :'''Past Kelly''': No, no, I was, um... ''[looks around]'' :'''Past Mercer''': You okay? :'''Past Kelly''': Yeah. I... What's up? :'''Past Mercer''': Well, um... I know this goes completely against the cool guy playbook, but I had a really great time with you last night, and... I was wondering if I could take you out again. :'''Past Kelly''': I just, um... I just don't see us working out. I'm sorry. ''[hangs up]'' ===''The Road Not Taken'' [2.14]=== :''[The alternate Mercer and Gordon's shuttle is being tractor-beamed into a Scavenger ship.]'' :'''Gordon''': What do we do? :'''Mercer''': ''[handing Gordon a gun]'' We fight. I'm not gonna let our last meal be a [[w:Twinkie|Twinkie]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': In the other timeline, we got married. Long story short, I had an affair, we got divorced. Out of guilt, I helped get you command of the ''Orville''. And because you were captain, the Kaylon were defeated. :'''Mercer''': Because ''I'' was captain? :'''Kelly''': Yes. :'''Mercer''': ''I'' stopped the Kaylon? :'''Kelly''': Right. :'''Mercer''': I had to swim with my shirt on until I was twenty. <hr width='50%'> :''[The derelict ''Orville'''s bridge doors are jammed closed.]'' :'''Mercer''': Talla, you want to open this jar of pickles? <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Am I a terrible person, that... part of me wants this timeline to continue? :'''Mercer''': ''[sighs]'' You're asking the wrong guy. :'''Kelly''': In the middle of this nightmare universe, I've felt this weird sense of comfort... being with you. :'''Mercer''': Well, maybe we'll fail (''to restore the timeline''). Have to go find someplace to live in secret. :'''Kelly''': Some nice little house on a deserted planet. We could have a couple of kids. Boy and a girl. :'''Mercer''': We'd have to learn how to farm, how to cook. :'''Kelly''': Look at the sunset every night. :'''Mercer''': Look at you every morning.

Along with three hundred other people. Because of you. So you see, it really is a shame that you can't feel anything. Because you deserve to feel all the pain in the universe. And if I were you, I'd stay the hell out of the mess hall. It makes people sick to look at you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I hope (''LaMarr'')'s taken at least one night off in the last three weeks.

In fact, it has provided me with an opportunity to observe an intriguing facet of human comportment I have not previously encountered. :'''Mercer''': Hatred. :'''Isaac''': Correct, sir. The behavioral data has been quite plentiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed has a philosophy that the only way to recover from lost love is to stay away from places where you've been happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Isaac's eulogy]'' I know that Isaac was not loved by all. As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit. There's no wrong way to say goodbye. <hr width='50%'> :''[upon completing the ship's upgrade]'' :'''LaMarr''': Boom. That's it. Nice job, everyone. :'''Yaphit''': ''And'' in two-thirds of the time.

But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point!

Traditionally, it is to allow them to resolve any unfinished affairs on Moclus before moving onward. :'''Gordon''': Oh, that's considerate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed. You should stay here. I'll go. :'''Mercer''': If there's possibility-- :'''Kelly''': That's a nasty head injury, whether you want to admit it or not. You could have a concussion for all we know. If we encounter anything hostile over there, I don't want you putting yourself at further risk. :'''Mercer''': Is that an ''order'', Commander? :'''Kelly''': Yes, it is. :'''Mercer''': All right. ''[trades places with Kelly]'' Be careful. That's also an order. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': [[w:Evolution|Evolution]] is blind and drunk. It stumbles along by trial and error and emerges with a barely adequate excuse for a being. ''[to Gordon]'' No offense. :'''Gordon''': None taken. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': You outgrew your gods and your nations, as we did. You left your training wheels behind, and you made it to the stars. Your next hurdles are really no different. You simply must outgrow self. These abstractions that you inhabit for now: Captain, Explorer, Husband,... Man... they are irrelevant when you become one with the cosmos. And when you do, sculpting a universe will be as simple as blinking an eye. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You'd live forever if you could? :'''Mercer''': Yup. :'''Gordon''': Why? :'''Mercer''': I want to see what happens. ===''Gently Falling Rain'' [3.4]=== <center> '''''Opening credits tribute''': "In Memory of [[w:Lisa Banes|Lisa Banes]] 1955 - 2021"'' </center> :'''Union President Alcazar''': Did you enjoy your evening on [[w:Broadway theatre|Broadway]], Chancellor? :'''Chancellor Korin''': Indeed. However, the repeated prophecy of [[w:Annie (musical)|the orphan child]] was quite haunting. "[[w:Tomorrow (Annie)|The ''sun'' will come out... tomorrow.]]" :'''Krill Aide''': In our culture, the sun is a symbol of suffering and death. :'''Admiral Halsey''': Yes, in retrospect, ''[[w:Oklahoma!|Oklahoma!]]'' might've been a better choice. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[walking into an Old West saloon simulation]'' This town will not accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass. <hr width='50%'> :''[after watching a video of Chancellor Korin berating a group of protestors publicly]'' :'''Mercer''': A few minutes after this, the protestors were gassed with helocine. Eleven people died. :'''Kelly''': My God. This is the guy we want to sign a treaty with? :'''Mercer''': You know what the real problem with this event is? It never happened. It's completely fictitious. And there are countless other files that show all kinds of scenarios where Chancellor Korin oppresses his people. There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''. I asked the Chancellor, and he said they call it "[[w:Fake news|influence operations]]". They have computers generating thousands of these things every second, trying to stoke outrage. Even the angry crowds are phony. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': Korin's influence has diminished considerably. Ask him yourself if you would like. You will find him in the center of the Capitol Square. Or at least his head. :'''Mercer''': ''[appalled]'' You killed him. :'''Teleya''': Most men who lose their heads tend to die, yes. :'''Mercer''': How could you do that? Teleya, that's not who you are. :'''Teleya''': A year later, you still cling to an illusion I created. Captain, you must really find yourself a... what is your word for it? A girlfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There's an old Earth verse that describes a traveler who comes upon the ancient, ruined statue of an Emperor, inscribed with the words "[[Percy Bysshe Shelley#Ozymandias|My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!]]" Only there's nothing left beside it except empty desert. [[Hubris]] has a way of coming back to bite you in the ass. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is meeting his half-human, half-Krill daughter with Teleya.]'' :'''Mercer''': What's your name? :'''Anaya''': Anaya. :'''Mercer''': That's a pretty name. :'''Anaya''': What's yours? :'''Mercer''': I'm Ed. :'''Anaya''': That's a funny name. ''[giggles]'' You look funny. :'''Mercer''': ''[smiles, chuckles]'' Thanks. I get that a lot. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for you to give her up. :'''Teleya''': The child is not of pure blood. ''[strained emotion]'' She will have a better life away from the scornful eyes of the public. :'''Mercer''': What is it the ''Anhkana'' teaches? "With every child, a new world is born." :'''Teleya''': "Gently Falling Rain". :'''Mercer''': What? :'''Teleya''': That is what it means - 'Anaya'. The name I gave to her. :'''Mercer''': It's beautiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to Kelly]'' I miss her (''Anaya''). Is that weird to say? I only met her once. I don't even know her. And I miss her. The treaty is dead. But we have to find a way to preserve some kind of peace. For Anaya. ===''A Tale of Two Topas'' [3.5]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[following Charly through a tomb's passageways]'' You've mapped all this, right? I'd hate to get lost. :'''Charly''': Just follow the breadcrumbs, you'll be fine, sir. <hr width='50%'> :''[A crew member is working naked per his culture's religion.]'' :'''Ensign Bolobar''': The Union is supposed to respect ''all'' cultural traditions. :'''Kelly''': True, but that works both ways. Look, I don't want to disrespect your religion, but maybe there's a sensible compromise between your faith and Union protocol that would satisfy everyone involved. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': What do you suggest? :'''Kelly''': Put some pants on and we'll call it a day. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': ''[looks down, then back up]'' Very well, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Yaphit''': Hey, I just want you to know we always enjoy your visits down here. :'''Kelly''': Thanks, Yaphit. :''[Kelly walks off with Topa.]'' :'''Kelly''': Just for your own education, that's called ass kissing. :'''Topa''': "Ass kissing". Will it be on the ''[Union Point]'' entrance exam? :'''Kelly''': ''[laughs]'' No. It won't be. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[on why he wants to join the Union Fleet]'' Ever since I was a young child, I have always felt... incomplete. As if the person I am today is a bookmark. A placeholder, until I discover who ''I ''am. I have not found the answer at home, so perhaps it is out among the stars. :'''Kelly''': You've... felt this way for some time? :'''Topa''': I once heard Dr. Finn say that "If you wake up in the middle of the night and there is nothing to keep you from falling asleep again, it means you are happy." I think that maybe... I am not happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': It occurs to me that in all the time we have been together, I have never once known you to be uncertain. Of anything. Tell me, what is it like to be so wise? :'''Klyden''': You are mocking me. :'''Bortus''': ''You'' invite it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Bortus, I would give anything to be ignorant of my beginnings. Topa may never be happy, but unhappiness is better than despair. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello. Commander. I apologize for disturbing you. :'''Kelly''': No, it's fine. What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere. Cheers. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello, Ensign. :'''Charly''': ''[strained]'' Hello. :'''Isaac''': May I speak with you for a moment? :'''Charly''': Sorry. Busy having fun. ===''From Unknown Graves'' [3.7]=== :'''Talla''': As far as their degree of technological development, the Janisi are about on par with the Union. The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Junior executive''': I want to go on record here. This is not right. The public's not gonna swallow this. :'''Yan''': With a smart marketing campaign, they will. That's ''your'' job. Get to it. :'''Junior executive''': Yan, the public-- :'''Yan''': --are idiots. Look who they elected. <hr width='50%'> :''[In order for Isaac to be able to retain the ability to feel emotions, his memory would need to be erased. Isaac is willing to do so.]'' :'''Claire''': You're willing to give up everything you've learned. everything you've experienced over you whole entire life, for me? :'''Isaac''': If you wish. :'''Claire''': Some people would call that love. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of love. :'''Claire''': So... I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Gordon''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm. I simply... did not know how to live with you. ===''Domino'' [3.9]=== ===''Future Unknown'' [3.10]=== == Main Cast == * [[w:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] as Capt.

You paint some flames on the side, maybe like a rainbow unicorn, you got something. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': All right, Lieutenant Commander Bortus, our second officer. You know, I've never met a single-gender species before. Your entire species is male, isn't it? :'''Bortus''': That is correct, sir. :'''Mercer''': So, there's probably not a lot of arguments about leaving the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right? :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan tone]'' No. Moclans urinate only once per year. :'''Mercer''': Really? That's... Me, I'm-I'm up two, three times a night. :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan]'' That is unfortunate. :'''Mercer''': ''[chagrined]'' It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''John LaMarr''': Figured I'd introduce myself since we're gonna be working full shifts together. :'''Gordon''': ''[in good humor]'' Translation: You want to make sure I'm not a jerk. :'''LaMarr''': Something like that. :'''Gordon''': ''[facetiously]'' Dude, I'm such a jerk, it's ridiculous. :'''LaMarr''': ''[also facetious]'' Okay, well, so am I, so this is gonna work out great. <hr width='50%'> :''[The'' Orville ''officers witness a demonstration of a quantum-time accelerator, which rapidly ages a banana.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[unimpressed]'' So, it's an anti-banana ray. :'''Kelly Grayson''': ''[also unimpressed]'' It's really interesting. :'''Mercer''': We need no longer fear the banana. :'''Kelly''': Does it work on all fruit? :'''Mercer''': What about salads? <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Door's jammed. Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale. She is... my pet. :'''Alara''': ''[snidely]'' Woof. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Kelly are about to be killed by criss-crossing lasers closing in on them.]'' :'''Mercer''': Oh, God. No, no, no.

''[[w:Keeping Up with the Kardashians|Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]''. :'''Calivon worker #2''': There must be ten thousand files here. What is this [[w:Reality television|reality television]]? :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': The best exhibit we've ever had. ===''About a Girl'' [1.03]=== :'''Isaac''': Captain, I do not understand the reason for this conflict. Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''. Without Rudolph's nose, Santa would not have been able to complete his voyage. :'''LaMarr''': Looks like Santa got pretty lucky, huh? :'''Bortus''': Christmas would have been ruined had Rudolph had been euthanized at birth, as his father wished. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I don't... I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying. Alara takes his uninjured hand to comfort him.]'' ===''Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes'' [2.04]=== :'''Mercer''': You know, you got to pick a movie some night. I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice.

We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you.

I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database.

Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty'').

We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin'').

That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear.

Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this. She's clearly asking her friend where to find the nearest repair service for her device. But instead of writing "Wireless Telecommunications Facility", she just writes "WTF". <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus and Klyden are trying cigarettes for the first time.]'' :'''Klyden''': The sensation is... wonderful. :'''Bortus''': I have never experienced such a flavor. :'''Klyden''': I feel as if I have been standing my entire life and I just sat down. :''[They continue smoking.]'' :'''Klyden''': The ''tingles!'' Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love. We should all be so rare. ===''Sanctuary'' [2.12]=== :''[Admiral Halsey relates that, in addition to a weapons upgrade, the'' Orville ''is to transport a Moclan engineer to another vessel.]'' :'''Mercer''': Sir, with all due respect, we're starting to feel like a taxi cab here. :'''Halsey''': I know. But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out.

It is she. :'''Mercer''': Okay, then. Go, Dolly. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to the assembled admirals]'' Look, I understand what's at stake. I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia." ''[Talla laughs]'' He called her Fallopia. :'''Mercer''': They heard you the first time, thanks. ''[Everyone laughs]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': Just for the record, the dysonium field condenser analysis is something a first-year cadet could do.

Out of guilt, I helped get you command of the ''Orville''. And because you were captain, the Kaylon were defeated. :'''Mercer''': Because ''I'' was captain? :'''Kelly''': Yes. :'''Mercer''': ''I'' stopped the Kaylon? :'''Kelly''': Right. :'''Mercer''': I had to swim with my shirt on until I was twenty. <hr width='50%'> :''[The derelict ''Orville'''s bridge doors are jammed closed.]'' :'''Mercer''': Talla, you want to open this jar of pickles? <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Am I a terrible person, that... part of me wants this timeline to continue? :'''Mercer''': ''[sighs]'' You're asking the wrong guy. :'''Kelly''': In the middle of this nightmare universe, I've felt this weird sense of comfort... being with you. :'''Mercer''': Well, maybe we'll fail (''to restore the timeline'').

Along with three hundred other people. Because of you. So you see, it really is a shame that you can't feel anything. Because you deserve to feel all the pain in the universe.

The behavioral data has been quite plentiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed has a philosophy that the only way to recover from lost love is to stay away from places where you've been happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Isaac's eulogy]'' I know that Isaac was not loved by all. As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit.

But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point!

There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''.

Look, I don't want to disrespect your religion, but maybe there's a sensible compromise between your faith and Union protocol that would satisfy everyone involved. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': What do you suggest? :'''Kelly''': Put some pants on and we'll call it a day. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': ''[looks down, then back up]'' Very well, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Yaphit''': Hey, I just want you to know we always enjoy your visits down here. :'''Kelly''': Thanks, Yaphit. :''[Kelly walks off with Topa.]'' :'''Kelly''': Just for your own education, that's called ass kissing. :'''Topa''': "Ass kissing". Will it be on the ''[Union Point]'' entrance exam? :'''Kelly''': ''[laughs]'' No. It won't be. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[on why he wants to join the Union Fleet]'' Ever since I was a young child, I have always felt... incomplete. As if the person I am today is a bookmark. A placeholder, until I discover who ''I ''am. I have not found the answer at home, so perhaps it is out among the stars. :'''Kelly''': You've... felt this way for some time? :'''Topa''': I once heard Dr. Finn say that "If you wake up in the middle of the night and there is nothing to keep you from falling asleep again, it means you are happy." I think that maybe... I am not happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': It occurs to me that in all the time we have been together, I have never once known you to be uncertain. Of anything. Tell me, what is it like to be so wise? :'''Klyden''': You are mocking me. :'''Bortus''': ''You'' invite it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Bortus, I would give anything to be ignorant of my beginnings. Topa may never be happy, but unhappiness is better than despair. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello. Commander. I apologize for disturbing you. :'''Kelly''': No, it's fine. What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere. Cheers. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello, Ensign. :'''Charly''': ''[strained]'' Hello. :'''Isaac''': May I speak with you for a moment? :'''Charly''': Sorry. Busy having fun. ===''From Unknown Graves'' [3.7]=== :'''Talla''': As far as their degree of technological development, the Janisi are about on par with the Union. The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': ''[regarding feeling emotions]'' Isaac, you can't even fathom the sensations. To feel joy, happiness, affection, love. Even anger and sadness offer an exhilarating tingle. <hr width='50%'> :'''Junior executive''': I want to go on record here. This is not right. The public's not gonna swallow this. :'''Yan''': With a smart marketing campaign, they will. That's ''your'' job. Get to it. :'''Junior executive''': Yan, the public-- :'''Yan''': --are idiots. Look who they elected. <hr width='50%'> :''[In order for Isaac to be able to retain the ability to feel emotions, his memory would need to be erased. Isaac is willing to do so.]'' :'''Claire''': You're willing to give up everything you've learned. everything you've experienced over you whole entire life, for me? :'''Isaac''': If you wish. :'''Claire''': Some people would call that love. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of love. :'''Claire''': So... I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Gordon''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm. I simply... did not know how to live with you. ===''Domino'' [3.9]=== ===''Future Unknown'' [3.10]=== == Main Cast == * [[w:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] as Capt.

You paint some flames on the side, maybe like a rainbow unicorn, you got something. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': All right, Lieutenant Commander Bortus, our second officer. You know, I've never met a single-gender species before. Your entire species is male, isn't it? :'''Bortus''': That is correct, sir. :'''Mercer''': So, there's probably not a lot of arguments about leaving the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right? :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan tone]'' No. Moclans urinate only once per year. :'''Mercer''': Really? That's... Me, I'm-I'm up two, three times a night. :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan]'' That is unfortunate. :'''Mercer''': ''[chagrined]'' It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''John LaMarr''': Figured I'd introduce myself since we're gonna be working full shifts together. :'''Gordon''': ''[in good humor]'' Translation: You want to make sure I'm not a jerk. :'''LaMarr''': Something like that. :'''Gordon''': ''[facetiously]'' Dude, I'm such a jerk, it's ridiculous. :'''LaMarr''': ''[also facetious]'' Okay, well, so am I, so this is gonna work out great. <hr width='50%'> :''[The'' Orville ''officers witness a demonstration of a quantum-time accelerator, which rapidly ages a banana.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[unimpressed]'' So, it's an anti-banana ray. :'''Kelly Grayson''': ''[also unimpressed]'' It's really interesting. :'''Mercer''': We need no longer fear the banana. :'''Kelly''': Does it work on all fruit? :'''Mercer''': What about salads? <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Door's jammed. Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale. She is... my pet. :'''Alara''': ''[snidely]'' Woof. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Kelly are about to be killed by criss-crossing lasers closing in on them.]'' :'''Mercer''': Oh, God. No, no, no. Uh, uh... ''I'm going to the bathroom to read!'' :''[The lasers abruptly stop.]'' :'''Kelly''': What the hell was that? :'''Mercer''': It was... [[w:Elvis Presley|Elvis Presley's]] last words. It was all I could think of. <hr width='50%'> :'''Calivon worker #1''': ''[[w:The Batchelor (American TV series)|The Batchelor]]''. ''[[w:Duck Dynasty|Duck Dynasty]]''. ''[[w:Keeping Up with the Kardashians|Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]''. :'''Calivon worker #2''': There must be ten thousand files here. What is this [[w:Reality television|reality television]]? :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': The best exhibit we've ever had. ===''About a Girl'' [1.03]=== :'''Isaac''': Captain, I do not understand the reason for this conflict. Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''. Without Rudolph's nose, Santa would not have been able to complete his voyage. :'''LaMarr''': Looks like Santa got pretty lucky, huh? :'''Bortus''': Christmas would have been ruined had Rudolph had been euthanized at birth, as his father wished. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I don't... I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying. Alara takes his uninjured hand to comfort him.]'' ===''Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes'' [2.04]=== :'''Mercer''': You know, you got to pick a movie some night. I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice. ''[getting emotional]'' So as far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to [[Hell]]. ===''Identity, part 1'' [2.08]=== :''[Mercer is asking permission to take a disabled Isaac back to his home world.]'' :'''Mercer''': Look, sir, Isaac is a member of my crew. We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you. Please, don't go. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[to Ty and Marcus]'' Remember to consume your daily required nutrients and obey your mother's commands. I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database. Search your files. :''[Isaac consults his files and walks up in front of the crew.]'' :'''Isaac''': [[Sally Field|I want to say "Thank You" to you all. I wanted more than anything to have your respect. And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me.]] ===''Identity, part 2'' [2.09]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[arriving late to a strategy session in the cargo bay]'' Sorry, I was in the pee corner. :'''Kelly''': The what? :'''Gordon''': Oh. Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty''). If you do not comply, you will be deactivated. :'''Isaac''': Very well. :''[Isaac approaches, then 'kills' Primary by tearing his head from his body. Isaac then shoots the Kaylon guards.]'' :'''Isaac''': Deactivation complete. <hr width='50%'> :''[A Krill fleet has arrived and successfully engaged the Kaylon ships.]'' :'''Kelly''': ''[on the viewscreen]'' Captain Mercer, meet Captain Dalak. :'''Mercer''': It's good to meet you, Captain. We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin''). He's a Union officer. Do your job. :'''Mercer''': ''[in all seriousness]'' I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. <hr width='50%'> :''[Leyna is holding a knife to Talla's throat.]'' :'''Talla''': You ever met a Xelayan before? :'''Leyna''': ''[scoffs]'' No. :''[Talla uses her superhuman strength to throw Leyna across the room and into the wall, hard]'' :'''Talla''': You have, now. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have just signed a preliminary peace agreement between the Union and the Krill.]'' :'''Mercer''': I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples. :'''Krill ambassador''': We will see. A peace is only as strong as those who uphold it. :'''Kelly''': And, of course, trust is earned. :'''Krill ambassador''': We agree on ''that'', Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I count on you, man. :'''Gordon''': Dude, you can always count on me. That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear. I mean, maybe, like, a really hot girl, but other than that, it's rock-solid. :'''Mercer''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks. ===''Lasting Impressions'' [2.11]=== :'''Laura''': ''[video message on her phone to the future]'' Okay. Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this. She's clearly asking her friend where to find the nearest repair service for her device. But instead of writing "Wireless Telecommunications Facility", she just writes "WTF". <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus and Klyden are trying cigarettes for the first time.]'' :'''Klyden''': The sensation is... wonderful. :'''Bortus''': I have never experienced such a flavor. :'''Klyden''': I feel as if I have been standing my entire life and I just sat down. :''[They continue smoking.]'' :'''Klyden''': The ''tingles!'' Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love.

But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out. ''[ends transmission]'' :'''Kelly''': I'll go start the meter. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': It was always inevitable that fate would beckon us from the shadows.

Yeah, I guess she does. :'''Heveena''': This is the voice of our revolution. :'''Mercer''': Well, you know, there's actually a whole bunch of stuff-- :'''Heveena''': ''No!'' It is she. :'''Mercer''': Okay, then. Go, Dolly. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to the assembled admirals]'' Look, I understand what's at stake. I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia." ''[Talla laughs]'' He called her Fallopia. :'''Mercer''': They heard you the first time, thanks. ''[Everyone laughs]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': Just for the record, the dysonium field condenser analysis is something a first-year cadet could do. Why's it always gotta be ''me''? :'''Kelly''': We all just sleep better at night knowing it gets your personal tender-loving care. :'''LaMarr''': ''[walking out]'' Well, just pop a sleeping pill. :'''Kelly''': I'll try that, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I don't know how the food synthesizers are gonna replicate enough wine for two Kellys. <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Kelly''': ''[to Kelly]'' You're not married. You're not a captain. You "maintain a distance" from your crew. There were three things I wanted in life, and you haven't come close on one.

I know this goes completely against the cool guy playbook, but I had a really great time with you last night, and... I was wondering if I could take you out again. :'''Past Kelly''': I just, um... I just don't see us working out. I'm sorry. ''[hangs up]'' ===''The Road Not Taken'' [2.14]=== :''[The alternate Mercer and Gordon's shuttle is being tractor-beamed into a Scavenger ship.]'' :'''Gordon''': What do we do? :'''Mercer''': ''[handing Gordon a gun]'' We fight. I'm not gonna let our last meal be a [[w:Twinkie|Twinkie]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': In the other timeline, we got married. Long story short, I had an affair, we got divorced. Out of guilt, I helped get you command of the ''Orville''. And because you were captain, the Kaylon were defeated. :'''Mercer''': Because ''I'' was captain? :'''Kelly''': Yes. :'''Mercer''': ''I'' stopped the Kaylon? :'''Kelly''': Right. :'''Mercer''': I had to swim with my shirt on until I was twenty. <hr width='50%'> :''[The derelict ''Orville'''s bridge doors are jammed closed.]'' :'''Mercer''': Talla, you want to open this jar of pickles? <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Am I a terrible person, that... part of me wants this timeline to continue? :'''Mercer''': ''[sighs]'' You're asking the wrong guy. :'''Kelly''': In the middle of this nightmare universe, I've felt this weird sense of comfort... being with you. :'''Mercer''': Well, maybe we'll fail (''to restore the timeline''). Have to go find someplace to live in secret. :'''Kelly''': Some nice little house on a deserted planet. We could have a couple of kids. Boy and a girl. :'''Mercer''': We'd have to learn how to farm, how to cook. :'''Kelly''': Look at the sunset every night. :'''Mercer''': Look at you every morning.

Along with three hundred other people. Because of you. So you see, it really is a shame that you can't feel anything. Because you deserve to feel all the pain in the universe. And if I were you, I'd stay the hell out of the mess hall. It makes people sick to look at you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I hope (''LaMarr'')'s taken at least one night off in the last three weeks. Gordon, why don't you take him out tonight, get him wasted? :'''Gordon''': ''[mock-serious]'' Is that an order, sir? :'''Kelly''': It is. :'''Gordon''': I enjoy this job, sir. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You've been getting harassed by the crew and you haven't said anything? :'''Isaac''': I would remind you, Commander, that I am incapable of being hurt by such hostile interactions. In fact, it has provided me with an opportunity to observe an intriguing facet of human comportment I have not previously encountered. :'''Mercer''': Hatred. :'''Isaac''': Correct, sir. The behavioral data has been quite plentiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed has a philosophy that the only way to recover from lost love is to stay away from places where you've been happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Isaac's eulogy]'' I know that Isaac was not loved by all. As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit. There's no wrong way to say goodbye. <hr width='50%'> :''[upon completing the ship's upgrade]'' :'''LaMarr''': Boom. That's it. Nice job, everyone. :'''Yaphit''': ''And'' in two-thirds of the time.

But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point! People who try to take their own lives are unable to distinguish the future from the present. There is ''no'' problem so immense that it can't be solved in time. ===''Shadow Realms'' {3.2]=== :'''Claire''': Well, you look healthy. Time's been good to you. :'''Vice Admiral Paul Christie''': Maybe on the outside. But you know what they say: Unmarried men look younger, feel older. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': You know, there's a line from a very old book I once read: "[[w:Irwin Shaw|It is only with greatest care that memory can be kept from becoming a prison or a gallows.]]" <hr width='50%'> :'''Admiral Christie''': Consul, Ambassador. We wish you safe travels, and we want to thank you again for your generosity.

I hope you don't mind me telling you this. :'''Isaac''': No, sir. I have observed many such paradoxes in human relationships. :-- :'''Isaac''': Am I to understand that you find it a challenge to process her daily absence? :'''Admiral Christie''': Yes, you could say that. :'''Isaac''': It is another common experience we share. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Isaac.

It really ''is'' Vegas. <hr width='50%'> :''[devising a plan against the alien creatures]'' :'''Claire''': I could create a synthetic virus. It wouldn't have to be any stronger than the common cold, and it'd probably be fatal to them. We could disperse it in aerosolized form throughout the ship. They'd have no immunity. :'''Bortus''': What about us? :'''Claire''': You might get the sniffles. :'''Bortus''': I am prepared. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I... wish to offer my condolences on the loss of your friend. :'''Claire''': Well, that's very kind of you. Paul was a special person. I'm just glad I got to see him one last time. :'''Isaac''': He spoke favorably of you as well. :'''Claire''': You... talked about me?

My dad's also good. He's his usual self. :'''Kelly''': Work hard, play hard? :'''Talla''': I think the Fleet's the only thing keeping him from pursuing a full-time career as an alcoholic. But if the uniform's on, we can handle it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': ''[offering a box of chocolate]'' Bortus, you want one? :'''Bortus''': No thank you.

Klyden'll thank me, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': What is this place? :'''Gordon''': ''[disconcerted]'' An old Earth high school in the middle of the forest on an alien planet.

I'll go. :'''Mercer''': If there's possibility-- :'''Kelly''': That's a nasty head injury, whether you want to admit it or not. You could have a concussion for all we know. If we encounter anything hostile over there, I don't want you putting yourself at further risk. :'''Mercer''': Is that an ''order'', Commander? :'''Kelly''': Yes, it is. :'''Mercer''': All right. ''[trades places with Kelly]'' Be careful. That's also an order. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': [[w:Evolution|Evolution]] is blind and drunk.

You left your training wheels behind, and you made it to the stars. Your next hurdles are really no different. You simply must outgrow self.

Eleven people died. :'''Kelly''': My God. This is the guy we want to sign a treaty with? :'''Mercer''': You know what the real problem with this event is? It never happened. It's completely fictitious. And there are countless other files that show all kinds of scenarios where Chancellor Korin oppresses his people. There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''. I asked the Chancellor, and he said they call it "[[w:Fake news|influence operations]]". They have computers generating thousands of these things every second, trying to stoke outrage. Even the angry crowds are phony. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': Korin's influence has diminished considerably. Ask him yourself if you would like. You will find him in the center of the Capitol Square. Or at least his head. :'''Mercer''': ''[appalled]'' You killed him. :'''Teleya''': Most men who lose their heads tend to die, yes. :'''Mercer''': How could you do that? Teleya, that's not who you are. :'''Teleya''': A year later, you still cling to an illusion I created. Captain, you must really find yourself a... what is your word for it?

"With every child, a new world is born." :'''Teleya''': "Gently Falling Rain". :'''Mercer''': What? :'''Teleya''': That is what it means - 'Anaya'. The name I gave to her. :'''Mercer''': It's beautiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to Kelly]'' I miss her (''Anaya''). Is that weird to say? I only met her once. I don't even know her.

What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere.

The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': ''[regarding feeling emotions]'' Isaac, you can't even fathom the sensations. To feel joy, happiness, affection, love.

I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Gordon''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm. I simply... did not know how to live with you. ===''Domino'' [3.9]=== ===''Future Unknown'' [3.10]=== == Main Cast == * [[w:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] as Capt.

The series relates the adventures of Captain Ed Mercer, his first officer (and ex-wife) Kelly Grayson, and the crew of the ''Orville'' as they embark on various diplomatic and exploratory missions. ==Season 1== ===''Old Wounds'' [1.01]=== :''[Mercer and Gordon see the'' Orville ''for the first time from the window of their shuttle.]'' :'''Ed Mercer''': It's not bad, right? :'''Gordon Malloy''': No, it's good. You paint some flames on the side, maybe like a rainbow unicorn, you got something. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': All right, Lieutenant Commander Bortus, our second officer. You know, I've never met a single-gender species before. Your entire species is male, isn't it? :'''Bortus''': That is correct, sir. :'''Mercer''': So, there's probably not a lot of arguments about leaving the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right? :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan tone]'' No. Moclans urinate only once per year. :'''Mercer''': Really? That's... Me, I'm-I'm up two, three times a night. :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan]'' That is unfortunate. :'''Mercer''': ''[chagrined]'' It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''John LaMarr''': Figured I'd introduce myself since we're gonna be working full shifts together. :'''Gordon''': ''[in good humor]'' Translation: You want to make sure I'm not a jerk. :'''LaMarr''': Something like that. :'''Gordon''': ''[facetiously]'' Dude, I'm such a jerk, it's ridiculous. :'''LaMarr''': ''[also facetious]'' Okay, well, so am I, so this is gonna work out great. <hr width='50%'> :''[The'' Orville ''officers witness a demonstration of a quantum-time accelerator, which rapidly ages a banana.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[unimpressed]'' So, it's an anti-banana ray. :'''Kelly Grayson''': ''[also unimpressed]'' It's really interesting. :'''Mercer''': We need no longer fear the banana. :'''Kelly''': Does it work on all fruit? :'''Mercer''': What about salads? <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Door's jammed. Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale. She is... my pet. :'''Alara''': ''[snidely]'' Woof. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Kelly are about to be killed by criss-crossing lasers closing in on them.]'' :'''Mercer''': Oh, God. No, no, no. Uh, uh... ''I'm going to the bathroom to read!'' :''[The lasers abruptly stop.]'' :'''Kelly''': What the hell was that? :'''Mercer''': It was... [[w:Elvis Presley|Elvis Presley's]] last words. It was all I could think of. <hr width='50%'> :'''Calivon worker #1''': ''[[w:The Batchelor (American TV series)|The Batchelor]]''. ''[[w:Duck Dynasty|Duck Dynasty]]''. ''[[w:Keeping Up with the Kardashians|Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]''. :'''Calivon worker #2''': There must be ten thousand files here. What is this [[w:Reality television|reality television]]? :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': The best exhibit we've ever had. ===''About a Girl'' [1.03]=== :'''Isaac''': Captain, I do not understand the reason for this conflict. Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''. Without Rudolph's nose, Santa would not have been able to complete his voyage. :'''LaMarr''': Looks like Santa got pretty lucky, huh? :'''Bortus''': Christmas would have been ruined had Rudolph had been euthanized at birth, as his father wished. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I don't... I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying. Alara takes his uninjured hand to comfort him.]'' ===''Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes'' [2.04]=== :'''Mercer''': You know, you got to pick a movie some night. I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice. ''[getting emotional]'' So as far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to [[Hell]]. ===''Identity, part 1'' [2.08]=== :''[Mercer is asking permission to take a disabled Isaac back to his home world.]'' :'''Mercer''': Look, sir, Isaac is a member of my crew. We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you. Please, don't go. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[to Ty and Marcus]'' Remember to consume your daily required nutrients and obey your mother's commands. I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database. Search your files. :''[Isaac consults his files and walks up in front of the crew.]'' :'''Isaac''': [[Sally Field|I want to say "Thank You" to you all. I wanted more than anything to have your respect. And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me.]] ===''Identity, part 2'' [2.09]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[arriving late to a strategy session in the cargo bay]'' Sorry, I was in the pee corner. :'''Kelly''': The what? :'''Gordon''': Oh. Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty''). If you do not comply, you will be deactivated. :'''Isaac''': Very well. :''[Isaac approaches, then 'kills' Primary by tearing his head from his body. Isaac then shoots the Kaylon guards.]'' :'''Isaac''': Deactivation complete. <hr width='50%'> :''[A Krill fleet has arrived and successfully engaged the Kaylon ships.]'' :'''Kelly''': ''[on the viewscreen]'' Captain Mercer, meet Captain Dalak. :'''Mercer''': It's good to meet you, Captain. We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin''). He's a Union officer. Do your job. :'''Mercer''': ''[in all seriousness]'' I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. <hr width='50%'> :''[Leyna is holding a knife to Talla's throat.]'' :'''Talla''': You ever met a Xelayan before? :'''Leyna''': ''[scoffs]'' No. :''[Talla uses her superhuman strength to throw Leyna across the room and into the wall, hard]'' :'''Talla''': You have, now. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have just signed a preliminary peace agreement between the Union and the Krill.]'' :'''Mercer''': I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples. :'''Krill ambassador''': We will see. A peace is only as strong as those who uphold it. :'''Kelly''': And, of course, trust is earned. :'''Krill ambassador''': We agree on ''that'', Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I count on you, man. :'''Gordon''': Dude, you can always count on me. That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear. I mean, maybe, like, a really hot girl, but other than that, it's rock-solid. :'''Mercer''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks. ===''Lasting Impressions'' [2.11]=== :'''Laura''': ''[video message on her phone to the future]'' Okay. Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this. She's clearly asking her friend where to find the nearest repair service for her device. But instead of writing "Wireless Telecommunications Facility", she just writes "WTF". <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus and Klyden are trying cigarettes for the first time.]'' :'''Klyden''': The sensation is... wonderful. :'''Bortus''': I have never experienced such a flavor. :'''Klyden''': I feel as if I have been standing my entire life and I just sat down. :''[They continue smoking.]'' :'''Klyden''': The ''tingles!'' Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love. We should all be so rare. ===''Sanctuary'' [2.12]=== :''[Admiral Halsey relates that, in addition to a weapons upgrade, the'' Orville ''is to transport a Moclan engineer to another vessel.]'' :'''Mercer''': Sir, with all due respect, we're starting to feel like a taxi cab here. :'''Halsey''': I know. But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out. ''[ends transmission]'' :'''Kelly''': I'll go start the meter. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': It was always inevitable that fate would beckon us from the shadows. "[[w:Mahatma Ghandi|Every revolution begins with a single act of defiance]]." :'''Kelly''': One of yours? :'''Heveena''': Actually, I don't know who said it. <hr width='50%'> :''[Heveena listens to the opening lines to the song'' "[[w:9 to 5 (Dolly Parton song)|9 to 5]]" ''and is greatly moved.]'' :'''Heveena''': Who is she? :'''Mercer''': That's, uh, [[w:Dolly Parton|Dolly Parton]]. :''[Heveena continues listening to the song.]'' :'''Heveena''': ''[awed]'' She speaks with the might of a hundred soldiers. :'''Mercer''': ''[a little bemused]'' Yeah. Yeah, I guess she does. :'''Heveena''': This is the voice of our revolution. :'''Mercer''': Well, you know, there's actually a whole bunch of stuff-- :'''Heveena''': ''No!'' It is she. :'''Mercer''': Okay, then. Go, Dolly. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to the assembled admirals]'' Look, I understand what's at stake. I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia." ''[Talla laughs]'' He called her Fallopia. :'''Mercer''': They heard you the first time, thanks. ''[Everyone laughs]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': Just for the record, the dysonium field condenser analysis is something a first-year cadet could do. Why's it always gotta be ''me''? :'''Kelly''': We all just sleep better at night knowing it gets your personal tender-loving care. :'''LaMarr''': ''[walking out]'' Well, just pop a sleeping pill. :'''Kelly''': I'll try that, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I don't know how the food synthesizers are gonna replicate enough wine for two Kellys. <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Kelly''': ''[to Kelly]'' You're not married. You're not a captain. You "maintain a distance" from your crew. There were three things I wanted in life, and you haven't come close on one. You've made my future a disappointment. <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Mercer''': Hey. :'''Past Kelly''': Hi. :'''Past Mercer''': I hope I'm not calling too early. Did I wake you up? :'''Past Kelly''': No, no, I was, um... ''[looks around]'' :'''Past Mercer''': You okay? :'''Past Kelly''': Yeah. I... What's up? :'''Past Mercer''': Well, um... I know this goes completely against the cool guy playbook, but I had a really great time with you last night, and... I was wondering if I could take you out again. :'''Past Kelly''': I just, um... I just don't see us working out. I'm sorry. ''[hangs up]'' ===''The Road Not Taken'' [2.14]=== :''[The alternate Mercer and Gordon's shuttle is being tractor-beamed into a Scavenger ship.]'' :'''Gordon''': What do we do? :'''Mercer''': ''[handing Gordon a gun]'' We fight. I'm not gonna let our last meal be a [[w:Twinkie|Twinkie]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': In the other timeline, we got married. Long story short, I had an affair, we got divorced. Out of guilt, I helped get you command of the ''Orville''. And because you were captain, the Kaylon were defeated. :'''Mercer''': Because ''I'' was captain? :'''Kelly''': Yes. :'''Mercer''': ''I'' stopped the Kaylon? :'''Kelly''': Right. :'''Mercer''': I had to swim with my shirt on until I was twenty. <hr width='50%'> :''[The derelict ''Orville'''s bridge doors are jammed closed.]'' :'''Mercer''': Talla, you want to open this jar of pickles? <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Am I a terrible person, that... part of me wants this timeline to continue? :'''Mercer''': ''[sighs]'' You're asking the wrong guy. :'''Kelly''': In the middle of this nightmare universe, I've felt this weird sense of comfort... being with you. :'''Mercer''': Well, maybe we'll fail (''to restore the timeline''). Have to go find someplace to live in secret. :'''Kelly''': Some nice little house on a deserted planet. We could have a couple of kids. Boy and a girl. :'''Mercer''': We'd have to learn how to farm, how to cook. :'''Kelly''': Look at the sunset every night. :'''Mercer''': Look at you every morning. ''[They kiss.]'' You know, Gordon's probably gonna have to live with us. :'''Kelly''': Shut up, you're ruining it. ''[They share a longer kiss.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Mercer''': Hey. :'''Past Kelly''': Hey. :'''Past Mercer''': I hope I'm not calling too early. Did I wake you up? :'''Past Kelly''': No. I was already awake. What's going on? :'''Past Mercer''': Well, um... I know this goes completely against the cool guy playbook, but I had a really great time with you last night, and... I was wondering if I could take you out again. :'''Past Kelly''': I'd love it. == New Horizons == ===''Electric Sheep'' {3.1]=== <center> '''''Opening credits tribute''': "In Memory of [[w:Norm Macdonald|Norm Macdonald]] 1959 - 2021"'' </center> :'''Charly Burke''': ''[to Isaac, talking about her best friend who was killed in the Kaylon battle]'' One second, she was there... and the next, she was gone. Along with three hundred other people. Because of you. So you see, it really is a shame that you can't feel anything. Because you deserve to feel all the pain in the universe. And if I were you, I'd stay the hell out of the mess hall. It makes people sick to look at you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I hope (''LaMarr'')'s taken at least one night off in the last three weeks. Gordon, why don't you take him out tonight, get him wasted? :'''Gordon''': ''[mock-serious]'' Is that an order, sir? :'''Kelly''': It is. :'''Gordon''': I enjoy this job, sir. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You've been getting harassed by the crew and you haven't said anything? :'''Isaac''': I would remind you, Commander, that I am incapable of being hurt by such hostile interactions. In fact, it has provided me with an opportunity to observe an intriguing facet of human comportment I have not previously encountered. :'''Mercer''': Hatred. :'''Isaac''': Correct, sir. The behavioral data has been quite plentiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed has a philosophy that the only way to recover from lost love is to stay away from places where you've been happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Isaac's eulogy]'' I know that Isaac was not loved by all. As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit. There's no wrong way to say goodbye. <hr width='50%'> :''[upon completing the ship's upgrade]'' :'''LaMarr''': Boom. That's it. Nice job, everyone. :'''Yaphit''': ''And'' in two-thirds of the time. We should all get big bonuses. :'''LaMarr''': Check's in the mail. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': Do you accept my status as primary authority when it comes to the psychological well-being of this crew? :'''Isaac''': Yes. :'''Claire''': And do you acknowledge, when it comes to human behavior, that my judgement as a medical professional is superior to yours? :'''Isaac''': Yes. :'''Claire''': Then it is only logical for you to accept my assertion that the psychological damage to this crew would be much greater if you ''succeeded'' in taking your own life. :'''Isaac''': Your reasoning is sound. :'''Claire''': Isaac, you arrived at your decision based on your analysis of all currently available data. But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point! People who try to take their own lives are unable to distinguish the future from the present. There is ''no'' problem so immense that it can't be solved in time. ===''Shadow Realms'' {3.2]=== :'''Claire''': Well, you look healthy. Time's been good to you. :'''Vice Admiral Paul Christie''': Maybe on the outside. But you know what they say: Unmarried men look younger, feel older. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': You know, there's a line from a very old book I once read: "[[w:Irwin Shaw|It is only with greatest care that memory can be kept from becoming a prison or a gallows.]]" <hr width='50%'> :'''Admiral Christie''': Consul, Ambassador. We wish you safe travels, and we want to thank you again for your generosity. I know I speak for the entire Union when I say that there is no greater gift than the promise of new knowledge. :'''Krill Consul''': ''Sala tallo ka vaspa ko loy.'' :'''Talla''': What does that mean? :'''Krill Consul''': It is a prayer. For those who are about to die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[addressing the crew with an impromptu "pep talk"]'' All hands, this is the Captain. We're about to enter unexplored space. I know you're all just as excited as I am, and I know you're all going to do your best, so... let's give this everything we got, and... [[w:Star Wars (film)|may the Force be with you]]. <hr width='50%'> :''[discussing Claire]'' :'''Admiral Christie''': I've heard from a few folks on board that you two were... involved. :'''Isaac''': That is accurate. :'''Admiral Christie''': Well, you know, I was with Claire, too, a long time ago. :'''Isaac''': Then we share a common experience. :'''Admiral Christie''': After all this time, she's moved on, but I'm afraid that I haven't. I hope you don't mind me telling you this. :'''Isaac''': No, sir. I have observed many such paradoxes in human relationships. :-- :'''Isaac''': Am I to understand that you find it a challenge to process her daily absence? :'''Admiral Christie''': Yes, you could say that. :'''Isaac''': It is another common experience we share. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Isaac. Analysis of that star cluster. :'''Isaac''': An [[w:Stellar kinematics#OB associations|OB association]], approximately two million years old. 78 blue giant stars, along with several dozen F, G and K stars in later stages of evolution. :'''Charly''': Reminds me of [[w:Las Vegas|Vegas]]. :'''Admiral Christie''': Any life signs? :'''Isaac''': I am detecting 347 inhabitable planets, but so far, no indications of intelligent life. :'''Gordon''': Wow. It really ''is'' Vegas. <hr width='50%'> :''[devising a plan against the alien creatures]'' :'''Claire''': I could create a synthetic virus. It wouldn't have to be any stronger than the common cold, and it'd probably be fatal to them. We could disperse it in aerosolized form throughout the ship. They'd have no immunity. :'''Bortus''': What about us? :'''Claire''': You might get the sniffles. :'''Bortus''': I am prepared. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I... wish to offer my condolences on the loss of your friend. :'''Claire''': Well, that's very kind of you. Paul was a special person. I'm just glad I got to see him one last time. :'''Isaac''': He spoke favorably of you as well. :'''Claire''': You... talked about me? With Paul? :'''Isaac''': Our shared history of social and sexual intimacy with you provided a common frame of reference. :'''Claire''': ''[laughs]'' Do you know, I have missed you. :'''Isaac''': Thank you, Doctor. ===''Mortality Paradox'' {3.3]=== :'''Kelly''': How are your mom and dad? :'''Talla''': My mom's good. My dad's also good. He's his usual self. :'''Kelly''': Work hard, play hard? :'''Talla''': I think the Fleet's the only thing keeping him from pursuing a full-time career as an alcoholic. But if the uniform's on, we can handle it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': ''[offering a box of chocolate]'' Bortus, you want one? :'''Bortus''': No thank you. I am dieting. :'''Talla''': Since when? :'''Bortus''': My shore leave is in thirty days. Klyden and I are visiting the Belajok Sea on Moclus. Lieutenant Malloy has advised me to get my... "summer body". :'''Gordon''': You'll thank me. Klyden'll thank me, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': What is this place? :'''Gordon''': ''[disconcerted]'' An old Earth high school in the middle of the forest on an alien planet. Completely normal. How's ''your'' day going? <hr width='50%'> :''[inside a Moclan morgue]'' :'''Gordon''': Why do you... hang them like this? :'''Bortus''': We honor the dead by raising them for a period of nine days. Traditionally, it is to allow them to resolve any unfinished affairs on Moclus before moving onward. :'''Gordon''': Oh, that's considerate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed. You should stay here. I'll go. :'''Mercer''': If there's possibility-- :'''Kelly''': That's a nasty head injury, whether you want to admit it or not. You could have a concussion for all we know. If we encounter anything hostile over there, I don't want you putting yourself at further risk. :'''Mercer''': Is that an ''order'', Commander? :'''Kelly''': Yes, it is. :'''Mercer''': All right. ''[trades places with Kelly]'' Be careful. That's also an order. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': [[w:Evolution|Evolution]] is blind and drunk. It stumbles along by trial and error and emerges with a barely adequate excuse for a being. ''[to Gordon]'' No offense. :'''Gordon''': None taken. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': You outgrew your gods and your nations, as we did. You left your training wheels behind, and you made it to the stars. Your next hurdles are really no different. You simply must outgrow self. These abstractions that you inhabit for now: Captain, Explorer, Husband,... Man... they are irrelevant when you become one with the cosmos. And when you do, sculpting a universe will be as simple as blinking an eye. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You'd live forever if you could? :'''Mercer''': Yup. :'''Gordon''': Why? :'''Mercer''': I want to see what happens. ===''Gently Falling Rain'' [3.4]=== <center> '''''Opening credits tribute''': "In Memory of [[w:Lisa Banes|Lisa Banes]] 1955 - 2021"'' </center> :'''Union President Alcazar''': Did you enjoy your evening on [[w:Broadway theatre|Broadway]], Chancellor? :'''Chancellor Korin''': Indeed. However, the repeated prophecy of [[w:Annie (musical)|the orphan child]] was quite haunting. "[[w:Tomorrow (Annie)|The ''sun'' will come out... tomorrow.]]" :'''Krill Aide''': In our culture, the sun is a symbol of suffering and death. :'''Admiral Halsey''': Yes, in retrospect, ''[[w:Oklahoma!|Oklahoma!]]'' might've been a better choice. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[walking into an Old West saloon simulation]'' This town will not accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass. <hr width='50%'> :''[after watching a video of Chancellor Korin berating a group of protestors publicly]'' :'''Mercer''': A few minutes after this, the protestors were gassed with helocine. Eleven people died. :'''Kelly''': My God. This is the guy we want to sign a treaty with? :'''Mercer''': You know what the real problem with this event is? It never happened. It's completely fictitious. And there are countless other files that show all kinds of scenarios where Chancellor Korin oppresses his people. There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''. I asked the Chancellor, and he said they call it "[[w:Fake news|influence operations]]". They have computers generating thousands of these things every second, trying to stoke outrage. Even the angry crowds are phony. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': Korin's influence has diminished considerably. Ask him yourself if you would like. You will find him in the center of the Capitol Square. Or at least his head. :'''Mercer''': ''[appalled]'' You killed him. :'''Teleya''': Most men who lose their heads tend to die, yes. :'''Mercer''': How could you do that? Teleya, that's not who you are. :'''Teleya''': A year later, you still cling to an illusion I created. Captain, you must really find yourself a... what is your word for it? A girlfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There's an old Earth verse that describes a traveler who comes upon the ancient, ruined statue of an Emperor, inscribed with the words "[[Percy Bysshe Shelley#Ozymandias|My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!]]" Only there's nothing left beside it except empty desert. [[Hubris]] has a way of coming back to bite you in the ass. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is meeting his half-human, half-Krill daughter with Teleya.]'' :'''Mercer''': What's your name? :'''Anaya''': Anaya. :'''Mercer''': That's a pretty name. :'''Anaya''': What's yours? :'''Mercer''': I'm Ed. :'''Anaya''': That's a funny name. ''[giggles]'' You look funny. :'''Mercer''': ''[smiles, chuckles]'' Thanks. I get that a lot. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for you to give her up. :'''Teleya''': The child is not of pure blood. ''[strained emotion]'' She will have a better life away from the scornful eyes of the public. :'''Mercer''': What is it the ''Anhkana'' teaches? "With every child, a new world is born." :'''Teleya''': "Gently Falling Rain". :'''Mercer''': What? :'''Teleya''': That is what it means - 'Anaya'. The name I gave to her. :'''Mercer''': It's beautiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to Kelly]'' I miss her (''Anaya''). Is that weird to say? I only met her once. I don't even know her. And I miss her. The treaty is dead. But we have to find a way to preserve some kind of peace. For Anaya. ===''A Tale of Two Topas'' [3.5]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[following Charly through a tomb's passageways]'' You've mapped all this, right? I'd hate to get lost. :'''Charly''': Just follow the breadcrumbs, you'll be fine, sir. <hr width='50%'> :''[A crew member is working naked per his culture's religion.]'' :'''Ensign Bolobar''': The Union is supposed to respect ''all'' cultural traditions. :'''Kelly''': True, but that works both ways. Look, I don't want to disrespect your religion, but maybe there's a sensible compromise between your faith and Union protocol that would satisfy everyone involved. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': What do you suggest? :'''Kelly''': Put some pants on and we'll call it a day. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': ''[looks down, then back up]'' Very well, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Yaphit''': Hey, I just want you to know we always enjoy your visits down here. :'''Kelly''': Thanks, Yaphit. :''[Kelly walks off with Topa.]'' :'''Kelly''': Just for your own education, that's called ass kissing. :'''Topa''': "Ass kissing". Will it be on the ''[Union Point]'' entrance exam? :'''Kelly''': ''[laughs]'' No. It won't be. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[on why he wants to join the Union Fleet]'' Ever since I was a young child, I have always felt... incomplete. As if the person I am today is a bookmark. A placeholder, until I discover who ''I ''am. I have not found the answer at home, so perhaps it is out among the stars. :'''Kelly''': You've... felt this way for some time? :'''Topa''': I once heard Dr. Finn say that "If you wake up in the middle of the night and there is nothing to keep you from falling asleep again, it means you are happy." I think that maybe... I am not happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': It occurs to me that in all the time we have been together, I have never once known you to be uncertain. Of anything. Tell me, what is it like to be so wise? :'''Klyden''': You are mocking me. :'''Bortus''': ''You'' invite it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Bortus, I would give anything to be ignorant of my beginnings. Topa may never be happy, but unhappiness is better than despair. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello. Commander. I apologize for disturbing you. :'''Kelly''': No, it's fine. What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere. Cheers. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello, Ensign. :'''Charly''': ''[strained]'' Hello. :'''Isaac''': May I speak with you for a moment? :'''Charly''': Sorry. Busy having fun. ===''From Unknown Graves'' [3.7]=== :'''Talla''': As far as their degree of technological development, the Janisi are about on par with the Union. The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': ''[regarding feeling emotions]'' Isaac, you can't even fathom the sensations. To feel joy, happiness, affection, love. Even anger and sadness offer an exhilarating tingle. <hr width='50%'> :'''Junior executive''': I want to go on record here. This is not right. The public's not gonna swallow this. :'''Yan''': With a smart marketing campaign, they will. That's ''your'' job. Get to it. :'''Junior executive''': Yan, the public-- :'''Yan''': --are idiots. Look who they elected. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I know nothing can bring back your friend, but I promise you I'm committed to ensuring that this never happens agin. :'''Charly''': Yeah, if you're looking for some sort of forgiveness, you can pretty much-- :'''Timmus''': I'm not. My species' attitude toward biologicals doesn't deserve forgiveness. It's... the way they are. :'''Charly''': Yeah, well, everyone knows it's hard to stop after one genocide. <hr width='50%'> :''[In order to retain the ability to feel emotions, Isaac's memory would need to be erased. Isaac is willing to do so.]'' :'''Claire''': You're willing to give up everything you've learned. everything you've experienced over you whole entire life, for me? :'''Isaac''': If you wish. :'''Claire''': Some people would call that love. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of love. :'''Claire''': So... I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Gordon''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm.

Me, I'm-I'm up two, three times a night. :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan]'' That is unfortunate. :'''Mercer''': ''[chagrined]'' It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''John LaMarr''': Figured I'd introduce myself since we're gonna be working full shifts together. :'''Gordon''': ''[in good humor]'' Translation: You want to make sure I'm not a jerk. :'''LaMarr''': Something like that. :'''Gordon''': ''[facetiously]'' Dude, I'm such a jerk, it's ridiculous. :'''LaMarr''': ''[also facetious]'' Okay, well, so am I, so this is gonna work out great. <hr width='50%'> :''[The'' Orville ''officers witness a demonstration of a quantum-time accelerator, which rapidly ages a banana.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[unimpressed]'' So, it's an anti-banana ray. :'''Kelly Grayson''': ''[also unimpressed]'' It's really interesting. :'''Mercer''': We need no longer fear the banana. :'''Kelly''': Does it work on all fruit? :'''Mercer''': What about salads? <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Door's jammed. Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale. She is... my pet. :'''Alara''': ''[snidely]'' Woof. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Kelly are about to be killed by criss-crossing lasers closing in on them.]'' :'''Mercer''': Oh, God. No, no, no. Uh, uh... ''I'm going to the bathroom to read!'' :''[The lasers abruptly stop.]'' :'''Kelly''': What the hell was that? :'''Mercer''': It was... [[w:Elvis Presley|Elvis Presley's]] last words. It was all I could think of. <hr width='50%'> :'''Calivon worker #1''': ''[[w:The Batchelor (American TV series)|The Batchelor]]''. ''[[w:Duck Dynasty|Duck Dynasty]]''. ''[[w:Keeping Up with the Kardashians|Keeping Up with the Kardashians]]''. :'''Calivon worker #2''': There must be ten thousand files here. What is this [[w:Reality television|reality television]]? :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': The best exhibit we've ever had. ===''About a Girl'' [1.03]=== :'''Isaac''': Captain, I do not understand the reason for this conflict. Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''. Without Rudolph's nose, Santa would not have been able to complete his voyage. :'''LaMarr''': Looks like Santa got pretty lucky, huh? :'''Bortus''': Christmas would have been ruined had Rudolph had been euthanized at birth, as his father wished. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I don't... I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying. Alara takes his uninjured hand to comfort him.]'' ===''Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes'' [2.04]=== :'''Mercer''': You know, you got to pick a movie some night. I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice. ''[getting emotional]'' So as far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to [[Hell]]. ===''Identity, part 1'' [2.08]=== :''[Mercer is asking permission to take a disabled Isaac back to his home world.]'' :'''Mercer''': Look, sir, Isaac is a member of my crew. We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you. Please, don't go. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[to Ty and Marcus]'' Remember to consume your daily required nutrients and obey your mother's commands. I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database.

I wanted more than anything to have your respect. And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me.]] ===''Identity, part 2'' [2.09]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[arriving late to a strategy session in the cargo bay]'' Sorry, I was in the pee corner. :'''Kelly''': The what? :'''Gordon''': Oh. Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty''). If you do not comply, you will be deactivated. :'''Isaac''': Very well. :''[Isaac approaches, then 'kills' Primary by tearing his head from his body. Isaac then shoots the Kaylon guards.]'' :'''Isaac''': Deactivation complete. <hr width='50%'> :''[A Krill fleet has arrived and successfully engaged the Kaylon ships.]'' :'''Kelly''': ''[on the viewscreen]'' Captain Mercer, meet Captain Dalak. :'''Mercer''': It's good to meet you, Captain. We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin''). He's a Union officer. Do your job. :'''Mercer''': ''[in all seriousness]'' I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. <hr width='50%'> :''[Leyna is holding a knife to Talla's throat.]'' :'''Talla''': You ever met a Xelayan before? :'''Leyna''': ''[scoffs]'' No. :''[Talla uses her superhuman strength to throw Leyna across the room and into the wall, hard]'' :'''Talla''': You have, now. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have just signed a preliminary peace agreement between the Union and the Krill.]'' :'''Mercer''': I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples. :'''Krill ambassador''': We will see. A peace is only as strong as those who uphold it. :'''Kelly''': And, of course, trust is earned. :'''Krill ambassador''': We agree on ''that'', Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I count on you, man. :'''Gordon''': Dude, you can always count on me. That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear. I mean, maybe, like, a really hot girl, but other than that, it's rock-solid. :'''Mercer''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks. ===''Lasting Impressions'' [2.11]=== :'''Laura''': ''[video message on her phone to the future]'' Okay. Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this. She's clearly asking her friend where to find the nearest repair service for her device. But instead of writing "Wireless Telecommunications Facility", she just writes "WTF". <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus and Klyden are trying cigarettes for the first time.]'' :'''Klyden''': The sensation is... wonderful. :'''Bortus''': I have never experienced such a flavor. :'''Klyden''': I feel as if I have been standing my entire life and I just sat down. :''[They continue smoking.]'' :'''Klyden''': The ''tingles!'' Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love. We should all be so rare. ===''Sanctuary'' [2.12]=== :''[Admiral Halsey relates that, in addition to a weapons upgrade, the'' Orville ''is to transport a Moclan engineer to another vessel.]'' :'''Mercer''': Sir, with all due respect, we're starting to feel like a taxi cab here. :'''Halsey''': I know. But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out. ''[ends transmission]'' :'''Kelly''': I'll go start the meter. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': It was always inevitable that fate would beckon us from the shadows.

It is she. :'''Mercer''': Okay, then. Go, Dolly. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to the assembled admirals]'' Look, I understand what's at stake. I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia." ''[Talla laughs]'' He called her Fallopia. :'''Mercer''': They heard you the first time, thanks. ''[Everyone laughs]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': Just for the record, the dysonium field condenser analysis is something a first-year cadet could do.

I know this goes completely against the cool guy playbook, but I had a really great time with you last night, and... I was wondering if I could take you out again. :'''Past Kelly''': I just, um...

Gordon, why don't you take him out tonight, get him wasted? :'''Gordon''': ''[mock-serious]'' Is that an order, sir? :'''Kelly''': It is. :'''Gordon''': I enjoy this job, sir. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You've been getting harassed by the crew and you haven't said anything? :'''Isaac''': I would remind you, Commander, that I am incapable of being hurt by such hostile interactions. In fact, it has provided me with an opportunity to observe an intriguing facet of human comportment I have not previously encountered. :'''Mercer''': Hatred. :'''Isaac''': Correct, sir. The behavioral data has been quite plentiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed has a philosophy that the only way to recover from lost love is to stay away from places where you've been happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Isaac's eulogy]'' I know that Isaac was not loved by all. As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit. There's no wrong way to say goodbye. <hr width='50%'> :''[upon completing the ship's upgrade]'' :'''LaMarr''': Boom. That's it. Nice job, everyone. :'''Yaphit''': ''And'' in two-thirds of the time. We should all get big bonuses. :'''LaMarr''': Check's in the mail. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': Do you accept my status as primary authority when it comes to the psychological well-being of this crew? :'''Isaac''': Yes. :'''Claire''': And do you acknowledge, when it comes to human behavior, that my judgement as a medical professional is superior to yours? :'''Isaac''': Yes. :'''Claire''': Then it is only logical for you to accept my assertion that the psychological damage to this crew would be much greater if you ''succeeded'' in taking your own life. :'''Isaac''': Your reasoning is sound. :'''Claire''': Isaac, you arrived at your decision based on your analysis of all currently available data. But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point! People who try to take their own lives are unable to distinguish the future from the present. There is ''no'' problem so immense that it can't be solved in time. ===''Shadow Realms'' {3.2]=== :'''Claire''': Well, you look healthy. Time's been good to you. :'''Vice Admiral Paul Christie''': Maybe on the outside. But you know what they say: Unmarried men look younger, feel older. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': You know, there's a line from a very old book I once read: "[[w:Irwin Shaw|It is only with greatest care that memory can be kept from becoming a prison or a gallows.]]" <hr width='50%'> :'''Admiral Christie''': Consul, Ambassador. We wish you safe travels, and we want to thank you again for your generosity. I know I speak for the entire Union when I say that there is no greater gift than the promise of new knowledge. :'''Krill Consul''': ''Sala tallo ka vaspa ko loy.'' :'''Talla''': What does that mean? :'''Krill Consul''': It is a prayer. For those who are about to die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[addressing the crew with an impromptu "pep talk"]'' All hands, this is the Captain. We're about to enter unexplored space. I know you're all just as excited as I am, and I know you're all going to do your best, so... let's give this everything we got, and... [[w:Star Wars (film)|may the Force be with you]]. <hr width='50%'> :''[discussing Claire]'' :'''Admiral Christie''': I've heard from a few folks on board that you two were... involved. :'''Isaac''': That is accurate. :'''Admiral Christie''': Well, you know, I was with Claire, too, a long time ago. :'''Isaac''': Then we share a common experience. :'''Admiral Christie''': After all this time, she's moved on, but I'm afraid that I haven't. I hope you don't mind me telling you this. :'''Isaac''': No, sir. I have observed many such paradoxes in human relationships. :-- :'''Isaac''': Am I to understand that you find it a challenge to process her daily absence? :'''Admiral Christie''': Yes, you could say that. :'''Isaac''': It is another common experience we share. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Isaac. Analysis of that star cluster. :'''Isaac''': An [[w:Stellar kinematics#OB associations|OB association]], approximately two million years old. 78 blue giant stars, along with several dozen F, G and K stars in later stages of evolution. :'''Charly''': Reminds me of [[w:Las Vegas|Vegas]]. :'''Admiral Christie''': Any life signs? :'''Isaac''': I am detecting 347 inhabitable planets, but so far, no indications of intelligent life. :'''Gordon''': Wow. It really ''is'' Vegas. <hr width='50%'> :''[devising a plan against the alien creatures]'' :'''Claire''': I could create a synthetic virus. It wouldn't have to be any stronger than the common cold, and it'd probably be fatal to them. We could disperse it in aerosolized form throughout the ship. They'd have no immunity. :'''Bortus''': What about us? :'''Claire''': You might get the sniffles. :'''Bortus''': I am prepared. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I... wish to offer my condolences on the loss of your friend. :'''Claire''': Well, that's very kind of you. Paul was a special person. I'm just glad I got to see him one last time. :'''Isaac''': He spoke favorably of you as well. :'''Claire''': You... talked about me? With Paul? :'''Isaac''': Our shared history of social and sexual intimacy with you provided a common frame of reference. :'''Claire''': ''[laughs]'' Do you know, I have missed you. :'''Isaac''': Thank you, Doctor. ===''Mortality Paradox'' {3.3]=== :'''Kelly''': How are your mom and dad? :'''Talla''': My mom's good. My dad's also good. He's his usual self. :'''Kelly''': Work hard, play hard? :'''Talla''': I think the Fleet's the only thing keeping him from pursuing a full-time career as an alcoholic. But if the uniform's on, we can handle it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': ''[offering a box of chocolate]'' Bortus, you want one? :'''Bortus''': No thank you. I am dieting. :'''Talla''': Since when? :'''Bortus''': My shore leave is in thirty days. Klyden and I are visiting the Belajok Sea on Moclus. Lieutenant Malloy has advised me to get my... "summer body". :'''Gordon''': You'll thank me. Klyden'll thank me, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': What is this place? :'''Gordon''': ''[disconcerted]'' An old Earth high school in the middle of the forest on an alien planet. Completely normal. How's ''your'' day going? <hr width='50%'> :''[inside a Moclan morgue]'' :'''Gordon''': Why do you... hang them like this? :'''Bortus''': We honor the dead by raising them for a period of nine days. Traditionally, it is to allow them to resolve any unfinished affairs on Moclus before moving onward. :'''Gordon''': Oh, that's considerate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed. You should stay here. I'll go. :'''Mercer''': If there's possibility-- :'''Kelly''': That's a nasty head injury, whether you want to admit it or not. You could have a concussion for all we know. If we encounter anything hostile over there, I don't want you putting yourself at further risk. :'''Mercer''': Is that an ''order'', Commander? :'''Kelly''': Yes, it is. :'''Mercer''': All right. ''[trades places with Kelly]'' Be careful. That's also an order. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': [[w:Evolution|Evolution]] is blind and drunk. It stumbles along by trial and error and emerges with a barely adequate excuse for a being. ''[to Gordon]'' No offense. :'''Gordon''': None taken. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': You outgrew your gods and your nations, as we did. You left your training wheels behind, and you made it to the stars. Your next hurdles are really no different. You simply must outgrow self. These abstractions that you inhabit for now: Captain, Explorer, Husband,... Man... they are irrelevant when you become one with the cosmos. And when you do, sculpting a universe will be as simple as blinking an eye. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You'd live forever if you could? :'''Mercer''': Yup. :'''Gordon''': Why? :'''Mercer''': I want to see what happens. ===''Gently Falling Rain'' [3.4]=== <center> '''''Opening credits tribute''': "In Memory of [[w:Lisa Banes|Lisa Banes]] 1955 - 2021"'' </center> :'''Union President Alcazar''': Did you enjoy your evening on [[w:Broadway theatre|Broadway]], Chancellor? :'''Chancellor Korin''': Indeed. However, the repeated prophecy of [[w:Annie (musical)|the orphan child]] was quite haunting. "[[w:Tomorrow (Annie)|The ''sun'' will come out... tomorrow.]]" :'''Krill Aide''': In our culture, the sun is a symbol of suffering and death. :'''Admiral Halsey''': Yes, in retrospect, ''[[w:Oklahoma!|Oklahoma!]]'' might've been a better choice. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[walking into an Old West saloon simulation]'' This town will not accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass. <hr width='50%'> :''[after watching a video of Chancellor Korin berating a group of protestors publicly]'' :'''Mercer''': A few minutes after this, the protestors were gassed with helocine. Eleven people died. :'''Kelly''': My God. This is the guy we want to sign a treaty with? :'''Mercer''': You know what the real problem with this event is? It never happened. It's completely fictitious. And there are countless other files that show all kinds of scenarios where Chancellor Korin oppresses his people. There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''. I asked the Chancellor, and he said they call it "[[w:Fake news|influence operations]]". They have computers generating thousands of these things every second, trying to stoke outrage. Even the angry crowds are phony. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': Korin's influence has diminished considerably. Ask him yourself if you would like. You will find him in the center of the Capitol Square. Or at least his head. :'''Mercer''': ''[appalled]'' You killed him. :'''Teleya''': Most men who lose their heads tend to die, yes. :'''Mercer''': How could you do that? Teleya, that's not who you are. :'''Teleya''': A year later, you still cling to an illusion I created. Captain, you must really find yourself a... what is your word for it? A girlfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There's an old Earth verse that describes a traveler who comes upon the ancient, ruined statue of an Emperor, inscribed with the words "[[Percy Bysshe Shelley#Ozymandias|My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!]]" Only there's nothing left beside it except empty desert. [[Hubris]] has a way of coming back to bite you in the ass. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is meeting his half-human, half-Krill daughter with Teleya.]'' :'''Mercer''': What's your name? :'''Anaya''': Anaya. :'''Mercer''': That's a pretty name. :'''Anaya''': What's yours? :'''Mercer''': I'm Ed. :'''Anaya''': That's a funny name. ''[giggles]'' You look funny. :'''Mercer''': ''[smiles, chuckles]'' Thanks. I get that a lot. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for you to give her up. :'''Teleya''': The child is not of pure blood. ''[strained emotion]'' She will have a better life away from the scornful eyes of the public. :'''Mercer''': What is it the ''Anhkana'' teaches? "With every child, a new world is born." :'''Teleya''': "Gently Falling Rain". :'''Mercer''': What? :'''Teleya''': That is what it means - 'Anaya'. The name I gave to her. :'''Mercer''': It's beautiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to Kelly]'' I miss her (''Anaya''). Is that weird to say? I only met her once. I don't even know her. And I miss her. The treaty is dead. But we have to find a way to preserve some kind of peace. For Anaya. ===''A Tale of Two Topas'' [3.5]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[following Charly through a tomb's passageways]'' You've mapped all this, right? I'd hate to get lost. :'''Charly''': Just follow the breadcrumbs, you'll be fine, sir. <hr width='50%'> :''[A crew member is working naked per his culture's religion.]'' :'''Ensign Bolobar''': The Union is supposed to respect ''all'' cultural traditions. :'''Kelly''': True, but that works both ways. Look, I don't want to disrespect your religion, but maybe there's a sensible compromise between your faith and Union protocol that would satisfy everyone involved. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': What do you suggest? :'''Kelly''': Put some pants on and we'll call it a day. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': ''[looks down, then back up]'' Very well, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Yaphit''': Hey, I just want you to know we always enjoy your visits down here. :'''Kelly''': Thanks, Yaphit. :''[Kelly walks off with Topa.]'' :'''Kelly''': Just for your own education, that's called ass kissing. :'''Topa''': "Ass kissing". Will it be on the ''[Union Point]'' entrance exam? :'''Kelly''': ''[laughs]'' No. It won't be. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[on why he wants to join the Union Fleet]'' Ever since I was a young child, I have always felt... incomplete. As if the person I am today is a bookmark. A placeholder, until I discover who ''I ''am. I have not found the answer at home, so perhaps it is out among the stars. :'''Kelly''': You've... felt this way for some time? :'''Topa''': I once heard Dr. Finn say that "If you wake up in the middle of the night and there is nothing to keep you from falling asleep again, it means you are happy." I think that maybe... I am not happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': It occurs to me that in all the time we have been together, I have never once known you to be uncertain. Of anything. Tell me, what is it like to be so wise? :'''Klyden''': You are mocking me. :'''Bortus''': ''You'' invite it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Bortus, I would give anything to be ignorant of my beginnings. Topa may never be happy, but unhappiness is better than despair. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello. Commander. I apologize for disturbing you. :'''Kelly''': No, it's fine. What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere. Cheers. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello, Ensign. :'''Charly''': ''[strained]'' Hello. :'''Isaac''': May I speak with you for a moment? :'''Charly''': Sorry. Busy having fun. ===''From Unknown Graves'' [3.7]=== :'''Talla''': As far as their degree of technological development, the Janisi are about on par with the Union. The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': ''[regarding feeling emotions]'' Isaac, you can't even fathom the sensations. To feel joy, happiness, affection, love. Even anger and sadness offer an exhilarating tingle. <hr width='50%'> :'''Junior executive''': I want to go on record here. This is not right. The public's not gonna swallow this. :'''Yan''': With a smart marketing campaign, they will. That's ''your'' job. Get to it. :'''Junior executive''': Yan, the public-- :'''Yan''': --are idiots. Look who they elected. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I know nothing can bring back your friend, but I promise you I'm committed to ensuring that this never happens agin. :'''Charly''': Yeah, if you're looking for some sort of forgiveness, you can pretty much-- :'''Timmus''': I'm not. My species' attitude toward biologicals doesn't deserve forgiveness. It's... the way they are. :'''Charly''': Yeah, well, everyone knows it's hard to stop after one genocide. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[frustrated]'' Hey, you know what's messed up? Isaac and I both have what the other one's missing. I got the love, he's got the sex. Between the two of us, we got one perfect life. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac can now feel emotions.]'' :'''Claire''': How does it feel? :'''Isaac''': Immense. Enveloping. And terrible. Just the anticipation of seeing you, the waiting,... I understood hunger. Loneliness. :'''Claire''': It must be overwhelming. :'''Isaac''': ''[laughs]'' It is! But somehow it's also not enough. There's so much I want to say. :'''Claire''': Then ''say'' it. :'''Isaac''': I'm so thankful. The warmth of your smile, the... the way you look at me. I feel safe. Loved. And I feel... so sad. For all those people who have to live their lives without you. :'''Claire''': ''[amused]'' Somehow they manage. <hr width='50%'> :''[In order to retain the ability to feel emotions, Isaac's memory would need to be erased. Isaac is willing to do so.]'' :'''Claire''': You're willing to give up everything you've learned. everything you've experienced over you whole entire life, for me? :'''Isaac''': If you wish. :'''Claire''': Some people would call that love. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of love. :'''Claire''': So... I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Gordon''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm. I simply... did not know how to live with you. ===''Domino'' [3.9]=== ===''Future Unknown'' [3.10]=== == Main Cast == * [[w:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] as Capt.

You paint some flames on the side, maybe like a rainbow unicorn, you got something. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': All right, Lieutenant Commander Bortus, our second officer. You know, I've never met a single-gender species before. Your entire species is male, isn't it? :'''Bortus''': That is correct, sir. :'''Mercer''': So, there's probably not a lot of arguments about leaving the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right? :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan tone]'' No. Moclans urinate only once per year. :'''Mercer''': Really? That's...

Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale.

Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''.

I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying.

I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice.

We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you. Please, don't go. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[to Ty and Marcus]'' Remember to consume your daily required nutrients and obey your mother's commands. I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database.

Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty''). If you do not comply, you will be deactivated. :'''Isaac''': Very well. :''[Isaac approaches, then 'kills' Primary by tearing his head from his body.

We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin''). He's a Union officer. Do your job. :'''Mercer''': ''[in all seriousness]'' I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. <hr width='50%'> :''[Leyna is holding a knife to Talla's throat.]'' :'''Talla''': You ever met a Xelayan before? :'''Leyna''': ''[scoffs]'' No. :''[Talla uses her superhuman strength to throw Leyna across the room and into the wall, hard]'' :'''Talla''': You have, now. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have just signed a preliminary peace agreement between the Union and the Krill.]'' :'''Mercer''': I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples. :'''Krill ambassador''': We will see.

That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear.

Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this.

Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love. We should all be so rare. ===''Sanctuary'' [2.12]=== :''[Admiral Halsey relates that, in addition to a weapons upgrade, the'' Orville ''is to transport a Moclan engineer to another vessel.]'' :'''Mercer''': Sir, with all due respect, we're starting to feel like a taxi cab here. :'''Halsey''': I know. But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out.

I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia."

Along with three hundred other people. Because of you. So you see, it really is a shame that you can't feel anything. Because you deserve to feel all the pain in the universe.

As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit.

But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point!

I have observed many such paradoxes in human relationships. :-- :'''Isaac''': Am I to understand that you find it a challenge to process her daily absence? :'''Admiral Christie''': Yes, you could say that. :'''Isaac''': It is another common experience we share. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Isaac. Analysis of that star cluster. :'''Isaac''': An [[w:Stellar kinematics#OB associations|OB association]], approximately two million years old. 78 blue giant stars, along with several dozen F, G and K stars in later stages of evolution. :'''Charly''': Reminds me of [[w:Las Vegas|Vegas]]. :'''Admiral Christie''': Any life signs? :'''Isaac''': I am detecting 347 inhabitable planets, but so far, no indications of intelligent life. :'''Gordon''': Wow. It really ''is'' Vegas. <hr width='50%'> :''[devising a plan against the alien creatures]'' :'''Claire''': I could create a synthetic virus. It wouldn't have to be any stronger than the common cold, and it'd probably be fatal to them. We could disperse it in aerosolized form throughout the ship. They'd have no immunity. :'''Bortus''': What about us? :'''Claire''': You might get the sniffles. :'''Bortus''': I am prepared. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I... wish to offer my condolences on the loss of your friend. :'''Claire''': Well, that's very kind of you. Paul was a special person. I'm just glad I got to see him one last time. :'''Isaac''': He spoke favorably of you as well. :'''Claire''': You... talked about me? With Paul? :'''Isaac''': Our shared history of social and sexual intimacy with you provided a common frame of reference. :'''Claire''': ''[laughs]'' Do you know, I have missed you. :'''Isaac''': Thank you, Doctor. ===''Mortality Paradox'' {3.3]=== :'''Kelly''': How are your mom and dad? :'''Talla''': My mom's good. My dad's also good. He's his usual self. :'''Kelly''': Work hard, play hard? :'''Talla''': I think the Fleet's the only thing keeping him from pursuing a full-time career as an alcoholic. But if the uniform's on, we can handle it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': ''[offering a box of chocolate]'' Bortus, you want one? :'''Bortus''': No thank you. I am dieting. :'''Talla''': Since when? :'''Bortus''': My shore leave is in thirty days. Klyden and I are visiting the Belajok Sea on Moclus. Lieutenant Malloy has advised me to get my... "summer body". :'''Gordon''': You'll thank me. Klyden'll thank me, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': What is this place? :'''Gordon''': ''[disconcerted]'' An old Earth high school in the middle of the forest on an alien planet. Completely normal. How's ''your'' day going? <hr width='50%'> :''[inside a Moclan morgue]'' :'''Gordon''': Why do you... hang them like this? :'''Bortus''': We honor the dead by raising them for a period of nine days. Traditionally, it is to allow them to resolve any unfinished affairs on Moclus before moving onward. :'''Gordon''': Oh, that's considerate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed. You should stay here. I'll go. :'''Mercer''': If there's possibility-- :'''Kelly''': That's a nasty head injury, whether you want to admit it or not. You could have a concussion for all we know. If we encounter anything hostile over there, I don't want you putting yourself at further risk. :'''Mercer''': Is that an ''order'', Commander? :'''Kelly''': Yes, it is. :'''Mercer''': All right. ''[trades places with Kelly]'' Be careful. That's also an order. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': [[w:Evolution|Evolution]] is blind and drunk. It stumbles along by trial and error and emerges with a barely adequate excuse for a being. ''[to Gordon]'' No offense. :'''Gordon''': None taken. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dinal''': You outgrew your gods and your nations, as we did. You left your training wheels behind, and you made it to the stars. Your next hurdles are really no different. You simply must outgrow self. These abstractions that you inhabit for now: Captain, Explorer, Husband,... Man... they are irrelevant when you become one with the cosmos. And when you do, sculpting a universe will be as simple as blinking an eye. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You'd live forever if you could? :'''Mercer''': Yup. :'''Gordon''': Why? :'''Mercer''': I want to see what happens. ===''Gently Falling Rain'' [3.4]=== <center> '''''Opening credits tribute''': "In Memory of [[w:Lisa Banes|Lisa Banes]] 1955 - 2021"'' </center> :'''Union President Alcazar''': Did you enjoy your evening on [[w:Broadway theatre|Broadway]], Chancellor? :'''Chancellor Korin''': Indeed. However, the repeated prophecy of [[w:Annie (musical)|the orphan child]] was quite haunting. "[[w:Tomorrow (Annie)|The ''sun'' will come out... tomorrow.]]" :'''Krill Aide''': In our culture, the sun is a symbol of suffering and death. :'''Admiral Halsey''': Yes, in retrospect, ''[[w:Oklahoma!|Oklahoma!]]'' might've been a better choice. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[walking into an Old West saloon simulation]'' This town will not accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass. <hr width='50%'> :''[after watching a video of Chancellor Korin berating a group of protestors publicly]'' :'''Mercer''': A few minutes after this, the protestors were gassed with helocine. Eleven people died. :'''Kelly''': My God. This is the guy we want to sign a treaty with? :'''Mercer''': You know what the real problem with this event is? It never happened. It's completely fictitious. And there are countless other files that show all kinds of scenarios where Chancellor Korin oppresses his people. There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''. I asked the Chancellor, and he said they call it "[[w:Fake news|influence operations]]". They have computers generating thousands of these things every second, trying to stoke outrage. Even the angry crowds are phony. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': Korin's influence has diminished considerably. Ask him yourself if you would like. You will find him in the center of the Capitol Square. Or at least his head. :'''Mercer''': ''[appalled]'' You killed him. :'''Teleya''': Most men who lose their heads tend to die, yes. :'''Mercer''': How could you do that? Teleya, that's not who you are. :'''Teleya''': A year later, you still cling to an illusion I created. Captain, you must really find yourself a... what is your word for it? A girlfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There's an old Earth verse that describes a traveler who comes upon the ancient, ruined statue of an Emperor, inscribed with the words "[[Percy Bysshe Shelley#Ozymandias|My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!]]" Only there's nothing left beside it except empty desert. [[Hubris]] has a way of coming back to bite you in the ass. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is meeting his half-human, half-Krill daughter with Teleya.]'' :'''Mercer''': What's your name? :'''Anaya''': Anaya. :'''Mercer''': That's a pretty name. :'''Anaya''': What's yours? :'''Mercer''': I'm Ed. :'''Anaya''': That's a funny name. ''[giggles]'' You look funny. :'''Mercer''': ''[smiles, chuckles]'' Thanks. I get that a lot. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for you to give her up. :'''Teleya''': The child is not of pure blood. ''[strained emotion]'' She will have a better life away from the scornful eyes of the public. :'''Mercer''': What is it the ''Anhkana'' teaches? "With every child, a new world is born." :'''Teleya''': "Gently Falling Rain". :'''Mercer''': What? :'''Teleya''': That is what it means - 'Anaya'. The name I gave to her. :'''Mercer''': It's beautiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to Kelly]'' I miss her (''Anaya''). Is that weird to say? I only met her once. I don't even know her. And I miss her. The treaty is dead. But we have to find a way to preserve some kind of peace. For Anaya. ===''A Tale of Two Topas'' [3.5]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[following Charly through a tomb's passageways]'' You've mapped all this, right? I'd hate to get lost. :'''Charly''': Just follow the breadcrumbs, you'll be fine, sir. <hr width='50%'> :''[A crew member is working naked per his culture's religion.]'' :'''Ensign Bolobar''': The Union is supposed to respect ''all'' cultural traditions. :'''Kelly''': True, but that works both ways. Look, I don't want to disrespect your religion, but maybe there's a sensible compromise between your faith and Union protocol that would satisfy everyone involved. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': What do you suggest? :'''Kelly''': Put some pants on and we'll call it a day. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': ''[looks down, then back up]'' Very well, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Yaphit''': Hey, I just want you to know we always enjoy your visits down here. :'''Kelly''': Thanks, Yaphit. :''[Kelly walks off with Topa.]'' :'''Kelly''': Just for your own education, that's called ass kissing. :'''Topa''': "Ass kissing". Will it be on the ''[Union Point]'' entrance exam? :'''Kelly''': ''[laughs]'' No. It won't be. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[on why he wants to join the Union Fleet]'' Ever since I was a young child, I have always felt... incomplete. As if the person I am today is a bookmark. A placeholder, until I discover who ''I ''am. I have not found the answer at home, so perhaps it is out among the stars. :'''Kelly''': You've... felt this way for some time? :'''Topa''': I once heard Dr. Finn say that "If you wake up in the middle of the night and there is nothing to keep you from falling asleep again, it means you are happy." I think that maybe... I am not happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': It occurs to me that in all the time we have been together, I have never once known you to be uncertain. Of anything. Tell me, what is it like to be so wise? :'''Klyden''': You are mocking me. :'''Bortus''': ''You'' invite it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Bortus, I would give anything to be ignorant of my beginnings. Topa may never be happy, but unhappiness is better than despair. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello. Commander. I apologize for disturbing you. :'''Kelly''': No, it's fine. What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere. Cheers. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello, Ensign. :'''Charly''': ''[strained]'' Hello. :'''Isaac''': May I speak with you for a moment? :'''Charly''': Sorry. Busy having fun. ===''From Unknown Graves'' [3.7]=== :'''Talla''': As far as their degree of technological development, the Janisi are about on par with the Union. The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': ''[regarding feeling emotions]'' Isaac, you can't even fathom the sensations. To feel joy, happiness, affection, love. Even anger and sadness offer an exhilarating tingle. <hr width='50%'> :'''Junior executive''': I want to go on record here. This is not right. The public's not gonna swallow this. :'''Yan''': With a smart marketing campaign, they will. That's ''your'' job. Get to it. :'''Junior executive''': Yan, the public-- :'''Yan''': --are idiots. Look who they elected. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I know nothing can bring back your friend, but I promise you I'm committed to ensuring that this never happens agin. :'''Charly''': Yeah, if you're looking for some sort of forgiveness, you can pretty much-- :'''Timmus''': I'm not. My species' attitude toward biologicals doesn't deserve forgiveness. It's... the way they are. :'''Charly''': Yeah, well, everyone knows it's hard to stop after one genocide. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[frustrated]'' Hey, you know what's messed up? Isaac and I both have what the other one's missing. I got the love, he's got the sex. Between the two of us, we got one perfect life. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac can now feel emotions.]'' :'''Claire''': How does it feel? :'''Isaac''': Immense. Enveloping. And terrible. Just the anticipation of seeing you, the waiting,... I understood hunger. Loneliness. :'''Claire''': It must be overwhelming. :'''Isaac''': ''[laughs]'' It is! But somehow it's also not enough. There's so much I want to say. :'''Claire''': Then ''say'' it. :'''Isaac''': I'm so thankful. The warmth of your smile, the... the way you look at me. I feel safe. Loved. And I feel... so sad. For all those people who have to live their lives without you. :'''Claire''': ''[amused]'' Somehow they manage. <hr width='50%'> :''[In order to retain the ability to feel emotions, Isaac's memory would need to be erased. Isaac is willing to do so.]'' :'''Claire''': You're willing to give up everything you've learned. everything you've experienced over you whole entire life, for me? :'''Isaac''': If you wish. :'''Claire''': Some people would call that love. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of love. :'''Claire''': So... I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dann''': ''[regarding Lt. Malloy]'' Well, he's attractive, right? :'''Yaphit''': Nah. Looks better going than coming. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Gordon''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm. I simply... did not know how to live with you. ===''Domino'' [3.9]=== ===''Future Unknown'' [3.10]=== == Main Cast == * [[w:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] as Capt.

You paint some flames on the side, maybe like a rainbow unicorn, you got something. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': All right, Lieutenant Commander Bortus, our second officer. You know, I've never met a single-gender species before. Your entire species is male, isn't it? :'''Bortus''': That is correct, sir. :'''Mercer''': So, there's probably not a lot of arguments about leaving the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right? :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan tone]'' No. Moclans urinate only once per year. :'''Mercer''': Really? That's... Me, I'm-I'm up two, three times a night. :'''Bortus''': ''[deadpan]'' That is unfortunate. :'''Mercer''': ''[chagrined]'' It is. <hr width='50%'> :'''John LaMarr''': Figured I'd introduce myself since we're gonna be working full shifts together. :'''Gordon''': ''[in good humor]'' Translation: You want to make sure I'm not a jerk. :'''LaMarr''': Something like that. :'''Gordon''': ''[facetiously]'' Dude, I'm such a jerk, it's ridiculous. :'''LaMarr''': ''[also facetious]'' Okay, well, so am I, so this is gonna work out great. <hr width='50%'> :''[The'' Orville ''officers witness a demonstration of a quantum-time accelerator, which rapidly ages a banana.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[unimpressed]'' So, it's an anti-banana ray. :'''Kelly Grayson''': ''[also unimpressed]'' It's really interesting. :'''Mercer''': We need no longer fear the banana. :'''Kelly''': Does it work on all fruit? :'''Mercer''': What about salads? <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Door's jammed. Alara. You want to open this jar of pickles for me? (''a line which will be a running gag throughout Season one'') :''[Using her superhuman strength, security chief Alara Kitan knocks down the huge door and parts of the surrounding wall.]'' :'''Mercer''': I loosened it for you. ===''Command Performance'' [1.02]=== :'''Bortus''': ''[noticing the stuffed animal on Mercer's desk]'' What is that? :'''Mercer''': That is, uh, [[w:Kermit the Frog|Kermit the Frog]]. :'''Bortus''': I do not recognize the species. :'''Mercer''': It's an amphibious life-form from Earth. :'''Bortus''': Is it someone you know? :'''Mercer''': No, no, he's just a leader I admire. Always keeps his cool in a crisis, inspires greatness in his people. He's... so what can I do for you? <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara Kitan''': Eggs? :'''Mercer''': That's what he said. Moclans reproduce by laying eggs, which I never knew. :'''John LaMarr''': Well, where does it come out of? The butt? :'''Mercer''': You know, John, I didn't really pry into those kinds of specifics. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' How's that not the first thing you ask? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': There is a matter I wish to discuss with you. :'''Calivon zoo administrator''': If you're gonna try and sell me that Xelayan female, I've already got one. :'''Isaac''': She is not for sale.

Would the gender alteration procedure harm the infant or endanger her life? :'''Kelly''': There are different kinds of harm, Isaac. Psychological harm, for one. I'd have been pretty pissed off if my parents had made the unilateral decision to make me a guy. :'''Mercer''': And while it might have saved me an entire marriage if they had, it still would have been wrong. :'''Kelly''': ''[snippy]'' Oh, thanks. <hr width='50%'> :''[Having just watched [[w:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]], Bortus has become very taken and inspired by it.]'' :'''Bortus''': Of ''course''.

I don't know if ''that'' was ever on the table. :'''Bortus''': What was ''clearly'' a deformity became a supreme advantage. One can never know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': "Between soul and sacrifice beats the heart of civilization." :'''Kelly''': What's that from? :'''Bortus''': It is from a novel by Gondus Elden, a Moclan writer of great esteem. It is customary to respond with a fitting passage from the literature of one's own planet. :'''Kelly''': ... "''[[w:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|I'm a survivor. I'm not gon' give up. I'm not gon' stop. I'm-a work harder.]]''" :'''Bortus''': Those are words of great power. Who wrote them? :'''Mercer''': I think it was actually about fifteen different people. :'''Bortus''': They must be very wise, these fifteen people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant Malloy, I'm gonna ask you a few questions that one might find on any basic test of adult knowledge. :'''Gordon''': Go for it. :'''Kelly''': ''[low]'' These are gonna be kind of hard for you. Sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[low]'' It's okay, Commander. It's for the baby. :'''Kelly''': Let's start off with some Earth history. A few hundred years ago, the continents of Earth were divided into separate nation states with individual sovereign governments. What was the capital of the United States of America? :'''Gordon''': Um... pass. :'''Kelly''': No, it's-it's not a 'pass' kind of thing. Just give me your closest guess. :'''Gordon''': What was the capital of the United States of America? [[w:Nabisco|Nabisco]]? :'''Kelly''': No. :'''Gordon''': The moon? :'''Kelly''': Let's move on. What are the four chambers of the human heart? :'''Gordon''': [[w:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)|The chamber of secrets]], the chamber of horrors, the chamber of.... :'''Kelly''': No, no, let me get you halfway. There's the left and the right ventricle ant the left and the right... :'''Gordon''': ... I would like to switch to movie trivia. :'''Kelly''': Let's try one more. In the year 2056, which genetic engineer discovered how to target and eradicate individual cancer cells? :'''Gordon''': Doctor... [[w:Bill Nye the Science Guy|Bill Nye the Cancer Guy]]? :'''Kelly''': ''[to the tribunal]'' Well, my point is made. While this male may be the fleet's best pilot, he's also an idiot. (''low, to Gordon'') Sorry, Gordon. :'''Gordon''': Totally okay. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': "The blackest abyss is a pock in the flesh when one has gazed in solitude upon the Infinity of self." :'''Kagus''': You dare to use the words of Gondus Elden to serve your own purposes?! If he were here, he would ''spit'' on you for that! :'''Heveena''': Would he? ''[approaches Kagus]'' Why don't you ask him? :''[Murmurs come from the tribunal's audience.]'' :'''Kagus''': ''[stunned]'' No... :'''Bortus''': I do not believe it. :'''Kelly''': Well, look at that. Your planet's greatest writer... is a female. :'''Heveena''': There are many ways to contribute to society, Advocate. This was mine. ===''If the Stars Should Appear'' [1.04]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[sighs]'' Star-mapping has got to be the most boring damn job there is. I'd rather have brunch with my parents. :'''LaMarr''': Uh, I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their parents. :'''Gordon''': I'd rather have brunch with my parents and their really good friends who they haven't seen in a while, who just got back from a vacation in Florida and took lots of pictures while visiting their daughter, who just had a brand new baby. :'''LaMarr''': That just made me want to kill myself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly is being brutally interrogated by the worldship's theocratic dictator, Hamelac, and his Enforcers.]'' :'''Hamelac''': One more time. Who are you, and where are the others? :'''Kelly''': I already told you, you stupid son-of-a-bitch. Our vessel encountered yours drifting in space, and we're trying to help you before you fall into that star and get your nuts burned off. :'''Hamelac''': And I told you you're lying, because there is no such place. Again. Where are your friends? :'''Kelly''': Well, last time I saw them, one of them was banging your mom, and the other one was high-fiving him. :''[An Enforcer punches Kelly hard across the face.]'' :'''Hamelac''': Where... are... your... friends? :'''Kelly''': ''[softly]'' Okay. I'll tell you. ''[speaking up]'' [[w:Friends|There's a little coffee shop on Lafayette Street in Soho called "Central Perk." My friends are there.]] Just please... don't hurt [[w:Marcel (Friends)|the monkey]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Hamelac''': Is it possible that there's more to this universe than what we see. ''Yes'', it's possible! :'''Dr. Claire Finn''': Then for God's sake, why don't you let us help you? We can try to repair your ship. :'''Hamelac''': To do as you say would shatter our entire way of life. This world is not ready. :'''Mercer''': No, you mean ''you're'' not ready to give up control over these people. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the City of God."'' :'''Mercer''': Is that [[Shakespeare]]? :'''Claire''': [[Emerson]]. :'''Mercer''': William Byron Emerson, yes, yes. :'''Claire''': Ralph Waldo. :'''Mercer''': Ralph Waldo. Lord Ralph Waldo [[Keats]]... David [[Thoreau]], yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kemka''': Thank you. For everything. :'''Kelly''': Don't thank us. We just gave you back what was already yours. :'''Kemka''': Yes. Our future. ===''Pria'' [1.05]=== :'''Isaac''': ''[trying to understand humor]'' But to derive mirth from the pain of another being is sadism, is it not? :'''Mercer''': I mean, it's case by case. Like, if a guy on a bike tries to do a trick, and he smashes his balls, that's funny. :'''Bortus''': I would agree. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Captain, respectfully submit that the attractiveness of the ship's occupant makes the rescue imperative. :'''LaMarr''': ''I'' could do it. :'''Isaac''': The star's gravity will cause the comet to break apart in seven minutes, 23 seconds. :'''LaMarr''': ''[to Gordon]'' ''You'' could do it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': How many times have you done this (''forcibly taken ships and people into the future)? :'''Pria''': When we get to my century, I'll introduce you to [[w:Amelia Earhart|Amelia Earhart]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Well, it's good to know teleportation is in our future. :'''Pria''': You can take a breath in New York and exhale it in Paris. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry." :'''Pria''': It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them. :'''Mercer''': Fair enough. ===''Krill'' [1.06]=== :'''Alara''': Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated. :'''LaMarr''': Wow, you're just gonna have to date Isaac here. :'''Isaac''': I am fascinated by the interpersonal behavior of biological organisms. I would be happy to attempt sexual relations with you, Lieutenant. :''[Everyone at the table falls into an embarrassed silence.]'' :'''Alara''': ''[strained]'' ... I'm actually just sort of working on myself right now. Um... (''clears her throat''), but thanks. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Haros''': This chapel is a recreation of the one in which I worshiped as a child. :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Well, I guess it's true what they say: "Rank has its privileges." :'''Haros''': I have never heard that aphorism. Who says it? :'''Mercer/"Chris"''': Oh. I... I guess it's me who says it. :'''Haros''': it is a wise observation. <hr width='50%'> :''[at an evening meal]'' :'''Teleya''': Thank you, Avis, for this our sustenance, that it may provide strength and perseverance. ''[to the disguised Mercer and Ed]'' Would you like to say a blessing? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': ''[bowing his head]'' Um... [[w:Avis Car Rental|Avis. We try harder.]] <hr width='50%'> :''[during a classroom Q & A]'' :'''Krill child''': Why doesn't the union believe in Avis? :'''Ed/"Devon"''': Well, they worship their own god called [[w:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz]]. :'''Coja''': Do humans have souls? :'''Teleya''': Of course not, Coja. :'''Coja''': Then how can they talk? Or make spaceships? :'''Teleya''': A computer can talk. That does not mean it has a soul. Remember the ''Anhkana'' (''the Krill "Bible"''). "Judge not a stranger by his sheath, but by his sword." <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[defending his killing of the Krill crew]'' Our mission was in the interest of peace. But your crew was going to murder a hundred thousand people. What the hell else could I have done? :'''Teleya''': Why did you save the children? :'''Mercer''': They're kids. With their whole lives ahead of them. They're not my enemies. :'''Teleya''': After what they saw you do today,... they will be. ''They will be.'' ===''Majority Rule'' [1.07]=== :''[Mercer sees the landing party dressed for an undercover mission in 21st century-style clothes.]'' :'''Mercer''': My God, you guys look like unemployed backup dancers. :'''Kelly''': ''You'' want to lead this landing party? :'''Mercer''': No, I'm too shy to wear a [[w:Crop top|crop top]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': So (''your world'') is an absolute democracy? :'''Lysella''': Yeah. How does your world work? :'''Mercer''': We select representatives who discuss issues and enact laws. :'''Lysella''': But what about everybody else? Everybody deserves a voice. That's what we're taught. :'''Bortus''': A voice should be earned, not given away. :'''Mercer''': How do you know what foods are healthiest for your children, or what medicine to take if you're sick? :'''Lysella''': We vote. :'''Isaac''': I believe you are confusing opinion with knowledge. :'''Alara''': I think what he's asking is, with so many voices at once, how do you filter out the truth? :'''Lysella''': Well, my dad always says, "The majority ''are'' the truth." I mean, you always know what the majority wants. That's what matters. :'''Mercer''': Well, you always know what the ''mob'' wants, too. And right now, the mob wants to lobotomize my navigator. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is flooding the planet's master opinion poll with false, albeit favorable, information about LaMarr to influence the Final Vote in his favor.]'' :'''Claire''': What if people try to corroborate all this information? :'''Lysella''': Don't worry. They won't. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[having narrowly escaped the planetary punishment]'' Real quick, I just want to say, ''all'' y'all can suck ass, and I'm a spaceman. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Lysella, thank you. :'''Lysella''': No. Thank ''you'' for letting me see all of this. I just wish I could tell somebody. :'''Claire''': Well, all you need to tell them is that their world can do better. ===''Into the Fold'' [1.08]=== :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn. I look forward to joining you and your offspring on this recreational outing. It will give me an opportunity to observe human familial dynamics at close range. :'''Claire''': Crap. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Your commands have little to no effect on (''your children's'') behavior. Perhaps you should reevaluate your method of controlling them. ''[gets hit on the back of the head by a flying portable video game]'' :'''Claire''': Just what I need. Parenting tips from a talking hubcap. :'''Isaac''': ''[slightly surprised]'' You harbor prejudice against artificial life-forms. :'''Claire''': Only against life-forms that think they're better than everyone else. :'''Isaac''': I ''am'' better than everyone else. :'''Claire''': Oh, and so modest. :'''Isaac''': It was not intended as a boast. Merely a statement of fact. My only directive is to study human behavior in the interest of relations between Kaylon and the Union. :'''Claire''': You want to improve relations? Don't tell a mother how to raise her kids. <hr width='50%'> :''[Barry Manilow's "[[w:Somewhere Down the Road (Barry Manilow song)|Somewhere Down the Road]]" plays in the engineering room while the crew does systems upgrades.]'' :'''LaMarr''': Hey, uh, Steve? You think we could change the music? Something less depressing? :'''Chief Engineer Newton''': You got to get cultured, my friend. [[w:Barry Manilow|Barry Manilow]] was an underappreciated genius of his time. :'''LaMarr''': Then how come I want to throw myself out the airlock? :'''Yaphit''': I got to say, watching your corpse drift away to this music would be so peaceful. :''[Mercer enters and hears the song.]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[sighing]'' Oh, God, Manilow was a genius. <hr width='50%'> :'''Marcus''': Mom... I'm... I'm sorry that I didn't want to go on the trip. And I'm sorry I said you suck. I didn't mean it. :'''Claire''': Marcus. Listen to me. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. You know how sometimes I yell at you and your brother if you something wrong? Well, you know I still love you with all my heart, right? :'''Marcus''': Uh-huh. :'''Claire''': And I know you love me right back. So it's all okay. You understand? :'''Marcus''': Yeah. :'''Claire''': I know you love your brother, too. So, right now, I want you to help Isaac take care of him. Do you understand? :'''Marcus''': Yes, ma'am. :'''Claire''': Good. I love you. :'''Marcus''': I love you, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': May I make a final observation? Your children are unruly, disrespectful, volatile, and highly unpredictable. I am quite fond of them. :'''Claire''': Welcome to the family. ===''Cupid's Dagger'' [1.09]=== :'''Mercer''': Did you hear what he said just now? He goes, he goes 'I am entitled to my feelings and the space to express them.' My God, thank you for lighting me on fire and then giving me ''permission'' to be in pain. ===''Firestorm'' [1.10]=== :'''Newton''': ''[delivering Lt. Harrison Payne's eulogy]'' Hey, guys. Thanks for coming. Harrison was a great guy. We met at camp the summer after eighth grade when he gave me the [[w:Heimlich maneuver|Heimlich maneuver]] after I accidentally swallowed a wine cork. Harrison and I went through a lot together. He was my best friend. And it's fitting that his last name was "Payne", because he probably died in a lot of it. Which is exactly the kind of thing he would find funny, in case any one was planning to get mad at me. Anyway... Rest in peace, Harrison. You were the best. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': It's a little short for a condolence letter. :'''Mercer''': I know, I ''suck'' at these things. I don't want to make it sound too generic, but I hardly knew the man, so I-I just got nothing to go on. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, but look how you open it: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Payne, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Your son was such a neat guy." I mean, that's.. that's terrible. :'''Mercer''': I'm not a writer, okay? <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Wait, what if we all ''died'' in that plasma storm, and this is actually some kind of [[w:Purgatory|Purgatory]]. :'''LaMarr''': ''How'' would we know we were in Purgatory? What's Purgatory even like? :'''Kelly''': You ever been married? :'''LaMarr''': No. :'''Mercer''': It's like that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': This is gonna sound like I'm talking out of my ass. :'''Isaac''': Then please try to enunciate. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': So, who's afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': That's me. :'''Alara''': You really ''are'' afraid of clowns? :'''LaMarr''': ''[getting nervous]'' Yes. ''Please'' stop saying the "C" word. :'''Alara''': And the abyss? :'''Claire''': Heights. My phobia. :'''Alara''': What about the sickbay mess? :'''Gordon''': That's me. Scared to death of surgery. I had a [[w:Skin tag|skin tag]] removed once, total panic attack. :'''Mercer''': The spiders came from me. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. :'''Isaac''': Commander Grayson cited a fear of isolation, with which I conceived the empty ship. :'''Alara''': That just leaves crazy psycho Isaac. :'''Kelly''': You can thank Bortus for that one. :'''Alara''': ''[regards Bortus, realizes]'' Fear of being conquered by a superior enemy. :'''Bortus''': I am feeling very self-conscious. May I leave? :'''Mercer''': Uh, sure. ''[Bortus leaves the room]'' ===''New Dimensions'' [1.11]=== :'''Kelly''': Generally, when someone's as smart as you are, they make productive use of it. :'''LaMarr''': Well, with all due respect, Commander, that's ''my'' business. :'''Kelly''': Lieutenant, have you ever studied the history of money? :'''LaMarr''': Not really. I know people used to use it to buy houses and sandwiches and stuff. :'''Kelly''': Exactly. It became obsolete with the invention of matter synthesis. The predominant currency became reputation. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, so? :'''Kelly''': My point is, human ambition didn't vanish. The only thing that changed was how we quantify wealth. People still want to be rich, only now rich means being the best at what you do. :'''LaMarr''': Not everybody wants that. Some people like to keep it simple. Some people want to go to work, go home, drink a beer and pass out. :'''Kelly''': Are you one of those people? :'''LaMarr''': I am very fond of drinking beer and passing out, yes. <hr width='50%'> :'''Captain Blavaroch''': ''Grahj-kalooga''. :'''Mercer''': Anybody speak Horbalak? :'''Isaac''': The direct translation is, "You can shove it up your--" :'''Mercer''': Okay, got it, got it. :'''Isaac''': Do you wish to hear the rest of the translation? :'''Mercer''': No, no, I-I get the gist. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': I think we could create a stable quantum bubble inside the shuttle, and preserve three-dimensional space. :'''Claire''': So, the outside would be squashed, but the inside wouldn't. :'''Mercer''': More space inside than out, just like [[w:The Doctor|Doctor Who]]'s [[w:TARDIS|phone booth]]. :'''Kelly''': Or [[w:Oscar the Grouch|Oscar the Grouch]]'s can. :'''LaMarr''': Or [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]'s doghouse, yeah. :'''Claire''': The miracles of quantum physics. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[to the engineering crew]'' Now you listen to me, and you listen good. Yaphit's a member of our team, and you're gonna treat him that way. He had an idea and I thought it was a good one. ''I'' made the decision to go with it. So if you want to blame somebody, you blame me. It's ''my'' fault. And now maybe people will ''believe'' me when I say I am ''not'' a ''commander''! Now get back to work. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Excuse my bluntness, but... why do you hide your brains? :'''LaMarr''': The colony where I'm from was brand-new, lot of farmers, lot of builders. They didn't trust anyone who was too much of an egghead. You'd be surprised how fast you can alienate people when you're always right. I wanted to be liked, accepted. Just became habit, I guess. ===''Mad Idolatry'' [1.12]=== :'''Isaac''': Commander, I remind you to use caution. Any contact with a culture that primitive (''[[w:Bronze Age|Bronze Age]]-level'') -- :'''Kelly''': ''[a bit snappish]'' Yeah, I know. Cultural contamination. I don't need you to remind me of the rules. :'''Isaac''': ''[somewhat put out]'' I am merely attempting to be helpful, Commander. There is no need to be -- what does Captain Mercer call it -- "pissy". <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer hasn't included Kelly's contact with a planetary local in his report to the Admiral.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why didn't you tell her? :'''Mercer''': You helped out a kid, that's all. And cultural contamination of a society that undeveloped is a serious charge. I just don't want to have to come visit you in prison. :'''Kelly''': Really? You wouldn't want to visit a woman's prison? :'''Mercer''': You're right, I'll call her back. <hr width='50%'> :''[The 'Kelly' blessing]'' :'''Kelly''': Um... I hope your kid grows up and, uh... does a lot of good stuff. And... um... :'''Gordon''': ''[aside]'' And doesn't get any girls pregnant. :'''Kelly''': And doesn't get any girls pregnant! Stay in school. :'''Gordon''': Amen. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Look, there's been a little misunderstanding. I'm not who you think I am. :'''Valondis''': But you are. Healer of men. Divine hand of the heavens. God of all creation. :'''Alara''': Man, this guy'd be the perfect boyfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Female planetary representative''': Our society has become a space-faring culture with ships spread out across the galaxy. In our home universe, that is. But we wouldn't have gotten where we are without growing pains. :'''Male planetary representative''': ''[to Kelly]'' Our planet worshiped you as a deity for many centuries. But had it not been you, the mythology would have found another face. It's part of every culture's evolution. It's one of the stages of learning. And eventually, it brought us here. :'''Female planetary representative''': So you see, Commander, you didn't poison our culture with false faith. We flourish. ''You'' must have faith in reason, in discovery, and in the endurance of the logical mind. ==Season 2== ===''Ja'loja'' [2.01]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[having drinks with Alara at the mess hall bar]'' You know, there are times when I feel like you and I are more alike than any two people on the ship. :'''Alara''': How so? :'''Mercer''': Well, we both know we're good at our jobs, and yet we also seem to be the only two people who are haunted by this little voice that's always whispering that we don't really deserve to be here. And we're both alcoholics. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is briefing the senior officers about Bortus' ''ja'loja'', a Moclan's annual urination ceremony.]'' :'''Mercer''': Okay. Now, I know this is gonna sound utterly insane to most of you and your first instinct may be to laugh, but we're all going to take this seriously, so I don't want to hear any jokes, no snide remarks, nothing. :''[later]'' :'''Mercer''': ''[innocently]'' Bortus, if you need any time off to make preparations, feel free to relieve yourself. :''[Gordon snickers and Mercer, realizing what he's just said, hangs his head, embarrassed.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Bortus]'' No, it's-it's okay, man. He's just taking the piss out of you. :'''Mercer''': ''[immediately]'' Okay, that's it. Dismissed. We're done. We're done. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[regarding Ty's piano playing]'' Very, good, Ty. You have been practicing. :'''Ty''': Yeah. Mom makes me practice a half hour every day. How long did it take ''you'' to learn piano? :'''Isaac''': Approximately one-millionth of a [[w:Nanosecond|nanosecond]]. :'''Ty''': Wow. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Cassius advice on dating Kelly]'' Here's my theory. A woman can't really love a man unless he's part dope. Be a little stupid every day, and ''really'' stupid once in a while, but... just don't be perfect. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': ''[commencing his'' Ja'loja ''ceremony]'' In the sight of those who stand with me, and those for whom I would sacrifice my being, I begin... the Release. ===''Primal Urges'' [2.02]=== :'''LaMarr''': Man, ten planets gobbled up by a hungry star. Remind me not to be on Earth when that happens to us. :'''Isaac''': Earth's sun will not become a red supergiant for another five billion years, Commander. You will be long deceased and forgotten. :'''LaMarr''': ''[laughs]'' There's gonna be some ladies still talking about ''me''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[picking at his food]'' Papa, can I be all done now? :'''Bortus''': No, Topa. Finish your ''plokta''. Remember: if you do not eat, you will die. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Why the hell is dealing with Moclan culture always this difficult? :'''Mercer''': They mutilate their female babies. They kill each other when they want a divorce. What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire? <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Surely, there is a more civilized means of selecting those who will be evacuated. :'''Bortus''': I do not know, but it is their way. :'''Isaac''': A random drawing of names is quite inefficient. It would be wiser to select the members of the society who possess the highest degree of intelligence. :'''Bortus''': I may be a 'primitive organism', but I am happy I am ''not'' like you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': I have been a bad mate. I have been disrespectful. Instead of speaking my mind aloud, I have retreated into a fantasy world. :'''Klyden''': Dr. Finn says, if you talk about it, you get rid of it. :'''Bortus''': Klyden. I do not know that I will ever be fully at peace with what happened to Topa. But today, I witnessed events that... l am very fortunate to have you and Topa in my life. And I do not wish to lose you again. :'''Klyden''': I do not wish to lose you, either. ===''Home'' [2.03]=== :''[The crew insist on yet another arm wrestling match between Alara and Isaac, on which they wager.]'' :'''Isaac''': I still fail to comprehend the purpose of this ritual. :'''Alara''': We're circus animals, Isaac. I hate to break it to you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': ''[marveling at the Xelayan city and landscape]'' God, I just can't... I mean, ''look'' at that. :'''Mercer''': Nothing like it. :'''Gordon''': You know, it's places like this that make me realize... God, I'm trash. My family is trash. <hr width='50%'> :'''Alara''': Those people (''the'' Orville ''crew'') inspired me more in a year than anyone on Xelayah did my entire life. :'''Ildis Kitan''': Now that is the gravity sickness talking. :'''Alara''': No, Dad, that's ''me'' talking! Open your stupid ears and listen. All I ever needed to hear from you was, "You can do it." That's all. Just once. And-and maybe that would've been a lie, but I needed that, Dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead. Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson and everyone on the ''Orville''. But not my own father. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Anything new in Engineering? :'''Kelly''': Nothing departmental, but Yaphit's six-month evaluation was last week, and he asked what our parental leave is. :'''Mercer''': Why? Is he thinking of splitting in half? :'''Kelly''': We can't legally ask him that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Ildis''': ''[badly shaken]'' Alara, you... We would all have been... :'''Alara''': You don't have to say it, Dad. It's my job. It's what I've been trying to tell you for years. :'''Ildis''': They would have killed us. All of us. :'''Alara''': Probably :'''Ildis''': ''[getting emotional]'' I don't know you. I never even ''tried'' to know you. :'''Alara''': I ''wanted'' you to know me, Dad. All I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me. :'''Ildis''': I am so proud. So very proud that you are my daughter. ''[on the verge of tears]'' And I'm so sorry that you got me for a father. :''[Ildis begins crying. Alara takes his uninjured hand to comfort him.]'' ===''Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes'' [2.04]=== :'''Mercer''': You know, you got to pick a movie some night. I feel like I'm always the one doing it. :'''Janel''': Well, you're doing good so far. What was that one you showed me about the taxi driver? :'''Mercer''': ''[[w:Taxi Driver|Taxi Driver]]''. :'''Janel''': Yeah, what was that called? :'''Mercer''': Yeah, it was... it was called ''Taxi Driver''. :'''Janel''': Oh, right. Yeah. ''[laughs]'' I liked that one. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If I was not going to kill you, I would give you some advice. :'''Mercer''': Please. Love to hear it. :'''Teleya''': You are painfully attentive. The failure of your marriage has caused you to overcompensate in the moment. And yet, paradoxically, despite this, your work remains your first priority. You have no balance. :'''Mercer''': My God, you sound like my ex-wife. :'''Teleya''': You feel entitled to educate others, but your own worldview is self-defeatingly narrow. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, at least I know who [[Billy Joel]] is. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': Okay. I can see I'm an open book, whether I want to be or not. I guess lately I've been feeling... bored with myself. Like, is this all I am -- a guy who drives ships from one place to another? And if I'm not enough for myself, what if that means... I'm not enough for other people? :'''Kelly''': I hope you know that's not true. Look, just be sure you're doing this (''command training'') for the right reasons. When you're in command, the last person you think about is yourself. Make sense? :''[Gordon nods.]'' :'''Kelly''': And by the way, if your goal is to prove how charming and awesome you are, as far as I'm concerned, you've already passed that test with flying colors. :'''Gordon''': Thanks, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, from what we've seen, when planets first achieve space travel, and they venture out into the galaxy and discover that they're just one single species among a vast diversity of life-forms, they usually react in one of two ways. They embrace and adapt to the fact that they're no longer the center of the universe, or they ratchet up their xenophobia. Now, from what I've learned of your history, the Krill were a lot less fanatical before you left your home world. :'''Teleya''': You know nothing of our history. :'''Mercer''': I know fear when I see it. You're afraid to accept the fact that your superiority may just be a comforting myth. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': If you believe releasing me will somehow improve relations between our people, you are indulging another fantasy. :'''Mercer''': Defect of my species. We never give up hope. ===''All the World Is Birthday Cake'' [2.05]=== :'''Satellite technician''': Alignment complete. Transmitters at full power. Now all we need is something to say. :'''Prefect''': Let's keep it simple. "Is anyone out there?" <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[having his initial interview with new security chief Talla Keyali]'' So, I know what I read in the initial report, but I wanted to hear your version. It says you punched your last captain in the face? :'''Talla Keyali''': I did, sir. :'''Mercer''': Knocked him out. :'''Talla''': Out cold, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus has declined having a joint birthday party with Kelly's.]'' :'''Kelly''': Why not? :'''Bortus''': I prefer my birthday to be ''my'' day. :'''Gordon''': He's afraid he's gonna get less stuff. :'''Bortus''': I am not afraid. :'''Gordon''': And he's right. Joint birthday, less stuff for everybody. It's a trap, Bortus. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and Talla are trying to negotiate with the Prefect, a firm believer in astrology, for the release of Kelly and Bortus.]'' :'''Prefect''': Why are you defending them? You ''live'' among the stars. You should understand their significance better than anyone. :'''Talla''': We actually have this crazy system where we judge people by their actions, not their birthdates. It's kinda wacky, I know. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': Captain, I have what might be an uncomfortable question. What's gonna happen when the Regorians figure out the star is fake? :'''Mercer''': That's actually a really good question. We just lied to an entire planet, and I don't know what the ethics of that mean. But that lie meant freedom for an entire portion of the population, so... the short answer is I don't know. :'''Kelly''': By the time their technology advances to the point where they know the jig is up, they may not even care anymore. ===''A Happy Refrain'' [2.06]=== :''[Mercer speaking to Gordon privately regarding Bortus' mustache]'' :'''Mercer''': Hey, um, you remember that conversation we had about ''selectivity'' with what you say to Bortus? :'''Gordon''': Yeah. :''[Mercer gives Gordon a look.]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''This'' would've been -- :'''Mercer''': This would've been one of those things, yeah. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': I just think, if it had a little more kick when I hit the gas, it would feel better, you know? :'''LaMarr''': You understand this isn't a [[w:Porsche|Porsche]], right? This is a quantum drive engine that makes a thousand trillion independent calculations every millisecond. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, I know that. I-I just like to feel a certain level of responsiveness when I'm driving. :'''LaMarr''': Oh, okay. You want power steering, too? Maybe an air freshener shaped like a little tree? <hr width='50%'> :''[The bridge crew is asking Isaac about his date with Claire.]'' :'''Talla''': Did you have fun? Were there sparks? :'''Isaac''': Sparks? :'''Talla''': Yeah. :'''Isaac''': Negative. There was no equipment malfunction. :'''Mercer''': Well, you don't have to brag about it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There is one part of the relationship experience that you haven't yet tackled. :'''Isaac''': Please elaborate. :'''Mercer''': You screwed up, and now you have to win back the girl. :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has made her wishes clear. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, Dr. Finn is also the wisest person on board this ship. She knows how new this is to you. If she sees you making a real effort, then who knows? She just might be understanding. :'''Isaac''': I have no experience in such matters. :'''Mercer''': Yeah, well, there's no rule book for this one. You just have to take everything you know about her, every bit of data, and do something you've never done. :'''Isaac''': What is that? :'''Mercer''': Be creative. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': We are, without a doubt, the ''weirdest'' ship in the fleet. ===''Deflectors'' [2.07]=== :'''Gordon''': When Moclans break up, is there, like, all that stabbing, like with the divorce? :'''Bortus''': No. Each Moclan extracts a tooth and leaves it with his former mate. :'''Gordon''': Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that. :'''Mercer''': Do you still have the tooth? :'''Bortus''': No. It is given to the next mate. :'''Gordon''': Let me guess. He ''eats'' it. :'''Bortus''': That is correct. :'''Gordon''': ''Yes!'' Man, I'm gettin' so good at this. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': You know, there's something seriously wrong with all of us when the most stable relationship on the ''Orville'' is Isaac's. :'''LaMarr''': Yeah, man, what's your secret? :'''Isaac''': Dr. Finn has cautioned me against speaking too openly about our coupling. :'''Talla''': Did something happen? :'''Gordon''': Oh, yeah. He was going around the ship asking everybody what sexual positions are most pleasurable to biological lifeforms. :'''Isaac''': I was merely attempting to provide Dr. Finn with the most dutifully calibrated coital experience. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, no, that's what women want: dutiful coitus. :'''LaMarr''': Hey. I'm trying to eat here. <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': The galaxy is full of so many unhappy people. Why ignore something good? <hr width='50%'> :'''Talla''': I mean, this has to be the most insane thing that's ever happened on this ship. :'''LaMarr''': Well, one time, I almost died 'cause I humped a statue. :'''Gordon''': Isaac once cut my leg off. :'''LaMarr''': And the captain and commander, they got put in a zoo. :'''Gordon''': And Bortus almost crashed the ship 'cause of porn. :'''Talla''': I see. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': If you had not done your job, I would have gone to prison. I owe you a debt. :'''Talla''': You want to repay me, here's how. When you see me in the corridor, walk the other way. :'''Klyden''': I do not understand. :'''Talla''': Locar didn't hurt you. He didn't hurt anyone. All he wanted was love. And yet, because of you, his life is over, for no reason except your own prejudice. ''[getting emotional]'' So as far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to [[Hell]]. ===''Identity, part 1'' [2.08]=== :''[Mercer is asking permission to take a disabled Isaac back to his home world.]'' :'''Mercer''': Look, sir, Isaac is a member of my crew. We all care about him. And right now, the only people who can help him are on Kaylon. :'''Admiral Halsey''': And you're sure there's nothing you can do for him on the ''Orville''? :'''Mercer''': Picture your mom trying to hook up a stereo. :'''Admiral Halsey''': ''[realizing]'' I understand. <hr width='50%'> :'''Claire''': ''[softly, to an inert, deactivated Isaac]'' I love you. Please, don't go. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[to Ty and Marcus]'' Remember to consume your daily required nutrients and obey your mother's commands. I fully expect that you will both mature into competent and productive adults. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon #1''': You oscillate between periods of enlightenment and tyranny. Can you prove this cycle has been broken? :'''Mercer''': Well, the Union itself is all the proof you need. We are over three hundred planetary governments working together to ensure that no single world imposes its will upon another. We treat each other as equals. :'''Kaylon #2''': And was the Kaylon emissary treated as an equal aboard your ship? :'''Mercer''': Isaac? Of course. :'''Kaylon #2''': Then perhaps you can explain the abuse inflicted by your crew. :'''Kelly''': Abuse? :'''Kaylon #2''': According to his reports, Isaac was repeatedly demeaned and degraded. In one case, his cranial shell was disfigured by prosthetic appendages. :'''Kaylon #1''': "[[w:Mr. Potato Head|Mr. Potato Head]]". :'''Mercer''': He... told you about that, huh? <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac is encouraged to give a speech at his farewell party.]'' :'''Isaac''': I do not know any speeches. :'''Mercer''': ''[good-naturedly]'' You're a walking database. Search your files. :''[Isaac consults his files and walks up in front of the crew.]'' :'''Isaac''': [[Sally Field|I want to say "Thank You" to you all. I wanted more than anything to have your respect. And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me.]] ===''Identity, part 2'' [2.09]=== :'''Gordon''': ''[arriving late to a strategy session in the cargo bay]'' Sorry, I was in the pee corner. :'''Kelly''': The what? :'''Gordon''': Oh. Well, there's no place to go to the bathroom down here, so we all agreed on one corner. Yeah, no, trust me, you don't want to go over there unless you have to. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kaylon Primary''': You will now terminate the human (''Ty''). If you do not comply, you will be deactivated. :'''Isaac''': Very well. :''[Isaac approaches, then 'kills' Primary by tearing his head from his body. Isaac then shoots the Kaylon guards.]'' :'''Isaac''': Deactivation complete. <hr width='50%'> :''[A Krill fleet has arrived and successfully engaged the Kaylon ships.]'' :'''Kelly''': ''[on the viewscreen]'' Captain Mercer, meet Captain Dalak. :'''Mercer''': It's good to meet you, Captain. We owe you one. :'''Dalak''': Try to stay out of our way. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Captain, it seems we have a common enemy. I hope that means we can work toward finding a common ground. :'''Dalak''': Avis united our paths for a reason. But only He truly knows why. We shall see where that path leads. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': My actions have eliminated the possibility of returning to my planet. And the actions of the Kaylon have eliminated my wish to do so. I have no home. :'''Claire''': Lots of people say that home is wherever you make it. :'''Isaac''': A human cliche. :'''Claire''': Cliches become cliched precisely because they're valid enough to bear endless repetition. :''[Claire goes to stand beside Isaac.]'' :'''Claire''': I understand you're alone in the universe. And, for a time, that's something you'll have to live with. There's an old human custom called 'forgiveness'. It, too, takes time. But it must have a beginning. ''[regards Isaac]'' Good night, Isaac. ''[leaves]'' ===''Blood of Patriots'' [2.10]=== :'''Orrin''': Losing (''my wife'') was the worst thing that ever happened to me. You know what scared me the most? It was the knowledge that someday, years down the line, there would come a time when her absence would feel like the norm, when I would resign myself to her loss, and my life -- the life that I accepted as real-- would be the one without her in it. And now that ''is'' my reality. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Look, Gordon, I'm just trying to do the right thing. :'''Gordon''': The right thing is to protect him (''Orrin''). He's a Union officer. Do your job. :'''Mercer''': ''[in all seriousness]'' I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. <hr width='50%'> :''[Leyna is holding a knife to Talla's throat.]'' :'''Talla''': You ever met a Xelayan before? :'''Leyna''': ''[scoffs]'' No. :''[Talla uses her superhuman strength to throw Leyna across the room and into the wall, hard]'' :'''Talla''': You have, now. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer and the Krill ambassador have just signed a preliminary peace agreement between the Union and the Krill.]'' :'''Mercer''': I hope that this marks the beginning of a new era of nonviolence between our two peoples. :'''Krill ambassador''': We will see. A peace is only as strong as those who uphold it. :'''Kelly''': And, of course, trust is earned. :'''Krill ambassador''': We agree on ''that'', Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I count on you, man. :'''Gordon''': Dude, you can always count on me. That's never gonna change. You're my best friend. Nobody's ever gonna come along and mess it up, I swear. I mean, maybe, like, a really hot girl, but other than that, it's rock-solid. :'''Mercer''': ''[chuckles]'' Thanks. ===''Lasting Impressions'' [2.11]=== :'''Laura''': ''[video message on her phone to the future]'' Okay. Hey, what's up, future people? Hi. I'm Laura Huggins, and if you're seeing this, you found my phone. So, I'm from [[w:Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga Springs, New York]], and some people in my town had this idea to make a time capsule, and I thought this was a really cool thing to do and I was trying to think of what I could put in there that would show the future something about who I am, and since I just got the new [[w:iPhone |iPhone]], I thought instead of sticking my old one in a drawer somewhere, I'd put it in the capsule. So, here I am. Here ''you'' are. And since I'm probably long dead by now, you can read all my texts and e-mails and look at all my pictures and decide whether you think I was, I dunno, cool or a bitch or whatever. Anyway, I ''hope'' you guys have, like, flying cars or something by now, and if you do, I'm super jealous, and I'm really sorry I'm not there to hang with you guys. Um, but, hey, have fun getting to know who I ''was''. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dr. Sherman''': ''[regarding a text message on Laura's phone]'' Look at this. She's clearly asking her friend where to find the nearest repair service for her device. But instead of writing "Wireless Telecommunications Facility", she just writes "WTF". <hr width='50%'> :''[Bortus and Klyden are trying cigarettes for the first time.]'' :'''Klyden''': The sensation is... wonderful. :'''Bortus''': I have never experienced such a flavor. :'''Klyden''': I feel as if I have been standing my entire life and I just sat down. :''[They continue smoking.]'' :'''Klyden''': The ''tingles!'' Do you feel them? :'''Bortus''': I do. :'''Klyden''': We must have more. :'''Bortus''': ''[to the synthesizer]'' Five hundred cigarettes. ''[The synthesizer complies.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': No, seriously, I think if the right person heard you (''sing''), you'd be a huge success. :'''Laura''': But I don't even have to be a ''huge'' success. I just want to be rich enough to be unhappy, but not enough to be miserable. :'''Gordon''': Fair enough. :'''Laura''': No, more important than that, I just think it would be nice to be remembered for something. You know? I mean, we all live and die on this planet, and most of us are just forgotten. To me, there's nothing sadder about the world than that. <hr width='50%'> :'''Gordon''': God, I'm gonna miss her. So much. :'''Kelly''': People have been living and dying for as long as humans have existed. Most are forgotten. But not this one. She reached across four centuries and got a guy to fall in love. We should all be so rare. ===''Sanctuary'' [2.12]=== :''[Admiral Halsey relates that, in addition to a weapons upgrade, the'' Orville ''is to transport a Moclan engineer to another vessel.]'' :'''Mercer''': Sir, with all due respect, we're starting to feel like a taxi cab here. :'''Halsey''': I know. But it's the ''least'' we can do in exchange for bigger guns. :'''Mercer''': All right. :'''Halsey''': Have fun. Halsey out. ''[ends transmission]'' :'''Kelly''': I'll go start the meter. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': It was always inevitable that fate would beckon us from the shadows.

Yeah, I guess she does. :'''Heveena''': This is the voice of our revolution. :'''Mercer''': Well, you know, there's actually a whole bunch of stuff-- :'''Heveena''': ''No!'' It is she. :'''Mercer''': Okay, then. Go, Dolly. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to the assembled admirals]'' Look, I understand what's at stake. I'm just saying that if we're not willing to stand up for the values that this Union was founded on... what exactly are we defending? <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': But just as we took that bold first step, in time, others like us ''will'' take a second one. The revolution has begun. We will rise, one small victory at a time. :'''Kelly''': I believe you will. :'''Heveena''': Captain. Do you suppose Dolly Parton would be proud of us? :'''Mercer''': ''[smiling broadly]'' Oh, yeah. ===''Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'' [2.13]=== :''[Mercer, Kelly, Gordon and Talla are sharing drinks and talking.]'' :'''Talla''': Okay, wait, I want to hear the rest of this story. :'''Gordon''': Okay, okay, so let me finish. So we're all at this reception at Admiral Halsey's house, and Philippa Jones is there. :'''Talla''': The novelist. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, right. So Kelly just spent two hours pouring scotch down Ed's throat-- :'''Kelly''': ''[in good humor]'' Okay, you're demoted. :'''Gordon''': --and we're leaving, and Philippa walks up and says, "It was nice meeting you", and Ed goes, ''[slurred voice]'' "Good night, Fallopia." ''[Talla laughs]'' He called her Fallopia. :'''Mercer''': They heard you the first time, thanks. ''[Everyone laughs]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': Just for the record, the dysonium field condenser analysis is something a first-year cadet could do. Why's it always gotta be ''me''? :'''Kelly''': We all just sleep better at night knowing it gets your personal tender-loving care. :'''LaMarr''': ''[walking out]'' Well, just pop a sleeping pill. :'''Kelly''': I'll try that, too. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I don't know how the food synthesizers are gonna replicate enough wine for two Kellys. <hr width='50%'> :'''Past Kelly''': ''[to Kelly]'' You're not married.

I know this goes completely against the cool guy playbook, but I had a really great time with you last night, and... I was wondering if I could take you out again. :'''Past Kelly''': I just, um...

I'm not gonna let our last meal be a [[w:Twinkie|Twinkie]]. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': In the other timeline, we got married. Long story short, I had an affair, we got divorced. Out of guilt, I helped get you command of the ''Orville''. And because you were captain, the Kaylon were defeated. :'''Mercer''': Because ''I'' was captain? :'''Kelly''': Yes. :'''Mercer''': ''I'' stopped the Kaylon? :'''Kelly''': Right. :'''Mercer''': I had to swim with my shirt on until I was twenty. <hr width='50%'> :''[The derelict ''Orville'''s bridge doors are jammed closed.]'' :'''Mercer''': Talla, you want to open this jar of pickles? <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Am I a terrible person, that... part of me wants this timeline to continue? :'''Mercer''': ''[sighs]'' You're asking the wrong guy. :'''Kelly''': In the middle of this nightmare universe, I've felt this weird sense of comfort... being with you. :'''Mercer''': Well, maybe we'll fail (''to restore the timeline''). Have to go find someplace to live in secret. :'''Kelly''': Some nice little house on a deserted planet. We could have a couple of kids. Boy and a girl. :'''Mercer''': We'd have to learn how to farm, how to cook. :'''Kelly''': Look at the sunset every night. :'''Mercer''': Look at you every morning.

Along with three hundred other people. Because of you. So you see, it really is a shame that you can't feel anything. Because you deserve to feel all the pain in the universe. And if I were you, I'd stay the hell out of the mess hall. It makes people sick to look at you. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': I hope (''LaMarr'')'s taken at least one night off in the last three weeks.

In fact, it has provided me with an opportunity to observe an intriguing facet of human comportment I have not previously encountered. :'''Mercer''': Hatred. :'''Isaac''': Correct, sir. The behavioral data has been quite plentiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Ed has a philosophy that the only way to recover from lost love is to stay away from places where you've been happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[giving Isaac's eulogy]'' I know that Isaac was not loved by all. As a result of the choices he made in life, he leaves behind a troublesome legacy. From the very start, like a tree whose branches are equaled in scope by its roots -- half visible, half hidden -- Isaac was part mystery. He worked with us, he explored with us, he celebrated alongside us in victory, and he grieved alongside us in failure. And while Isaac never felt any of this on his own, we felt it for him. He was as passionate or as stoic as we willed him to be in our minds. And for that reason, I suppose each of us knew a different Isaac. And each of us will acknowledge this loss as we see fit. There's no wrong way to say goodbye. <hr width='50%'> :''[upon completing the ship's upgrade]'' :'''LaMarr''': Boom. That's it. Nice job, everyone. :'''Yaphit''': ''And'' in two-thirds of the time.

But what you didn't take into account was the possibility of change. You don't know how this crew is going to feel a year or even a month from now. :'''Isaac''': I did not apply that data, as it is unavailable at this time. :'''Claire''': That's my point!

And when you do, sculpting a universe will be as simple as blinking an eye. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': You'd live forever if you could? :'''Mercer''': Yup. :'''Gordon''': Why? :'''Mercer''': I want to see what happens. ===''Gently Falling Rain'' [3.4]=== <center> '''''Opening credits tribute''': "In Memory of [[w:Lisa Banes|Lisa Banes]] 1955 - 2021"'' </center> :'''Union President Alcazar''': Did you enjoy your evening on [[w:Broadway theatre|Broadway]], Chancellor? :'''Chancellor Korin''': Indeed. However, the repeated prophecy of [[w:Annie (musical)|the orphan child]] was quite haunting. "[[w:Tomorrow (Annie)|The ''sun'' will come out... tomorrow.]]" :'''Krill Aide''': In our culture, the sun is a symbol of suffering and death. :'''Admiral Halsey''': Yes, in retrospect, ''[[w:Oklahoma!|Oklahoma!]]'' might've been a better choice. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': ''[walking into an Old West saloon simulation]'' This town will not accommodate the numerical totality of our combined mass. <hr width='50%'> :''[after watching a video of Chancellor Korin berating a group of protestors publicly]'' :'''Mercer''': A few minutes after this, the protestors were gassed with helocine. Eleven people died. :'''Kelly''': My God. This is the guy we want to sign a treaty with? :'''Mercer''': You know what the real problem with this event is? It never happened. It's completely fictitious. And there are countless other files that show all kinds of scenarios where Chancellor Korin oppresses his people. There are even some from the other side designed to discredit Teleya, although they're not that different from her actual speeches. :'''Kelly''': How can you tell the difference? :'''Mercer''': Sometime I ''can't''. I asked the Chancellor, and he said they call it "[[w:Fake news|influence operations]]". They have computers generating thousands of these things every second, trying to stoke outrage. Even the angry crowds are phony. <hr width='50%'> :'''Teleya''': Korin's influence has diminished considerably. Ask him yourself if you would like. You will find him in the center of the Capitol Square. Or at least his head. :'''Mercer''': ''[appalled]'' You killed him. :'''Teleya''': Most men who lose their heads tend to die, yes. :'''Mercer''': How could you do that? Teleya, that's not who you are. :'''Teleya''': A year later, you still cling to an illusion I created. Captain, you must really find yourself a... what is your word for it? A girlfriend. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': There's an old Earth verse that describes a traveler who comes upon the ancient, ruined statue of an Emperor, inscribed with the words "[[Percy Bysshe Shelley#Ozymandias|My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!]]" Only there's nothing left beside it except empty desert. [[Hubris]] has a way of coming back to bite you in the ass. <hr width='50%'> :''[Mercer is meeting his half-human, half-Krill daughter with Teleya.]'' :'''Mercer''': What's your name? :'''Anaya''': Anaya. :'''Mercer''': That's a pretty name. :'''Anaya''': What's yours? :'''Mercer''': I'm Ed. :'''Anaya''': That's a funny name. ''[giggles]'' You look funny. :'''Mercer''': ''[smiles, chuckles]'' Thanks. I get that a lot. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for you to give her up. :'''Teleya''': The child is not of pure blood. ''[strained emotion]'' She will have a better life away from the scornful eyes of the public. :'''Mercer''': What is it the ''Anhkana'' teaches? "With every child, a new world is born." :'''Teleya''': "Gently Falling Rain". :'''Mercer''': What? :'''Teleya''': That is what it means - 'Anaya'. The name I gave to her. :'''Mercer''': It's beautiful. <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': ''[to Kelly]'' I miss her (''Anaya''). Is that weird to say? I only met her once. I don't even know her. And I miss her. The treaty is dead. But we have to find a way to preserve some kind of peace. For Anaya. ===''A Tale of Two Topas'' [3.5]=== :'''Mercer''': ''[following Charly through a tomb's passageways]'' You've mapped all this, right? I'd hate to get lost. :'''Charly''': Just follow the breadcrumbs, you'll be fine, sir. <hr width='50%'> :''[A crew member is working naked per his culture's religion.]'' :'''Ensign Bolobar''': The Union is supposed to respect ''all'' cultural traditions. :'''Kelly''': True, but that works both ways. Look, I don't want to disrespect your religion, but maybe there's a sensible compromise between your faith and Union protocol that would satisfy everyone involved. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': What do you suggest? :'''Kelly''': Put some pants on and we'll call it a day. :'''Ensign Bolobar''': ''[looks down, then back up]'' Very well, Commander. <hr width='50%'> :'''Yaphit''': Hey, I just want you to know we always enjoy your visits down here. :'''Kelly''': Thanks, Yaphit. :''[Kelly walks off with Topa.]'' :'''Kelly''': Just for your own education, that's called ass kissing. :'''Topa''': "Ass kissing". Will it be on the ''[Union Point]'' entrance exam? :'''Kelly''': ''[laughs]'' No. It won't be. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': ''[on why he wants to join the Union Fleet]'' Ever since I was a young child, I have always felt... incomplete. As if the person I am today is a bookmark. A placeholder, until I discover who ''I ''am. I have not found the answer at home, so perhaps it is out among the stars. :'''Kelly''': You've... felt this way for some time? :'''Topa''': I once heard Dr. Finn say that "If you wake up in the middle of the night and there is nothing to keep you from falling asleep again, it means you are happy." I think that maybe... I am not happy. <hr width='50%'> :'''Bortus''': It occurs to me that in all the time we have been together, I have never once known you to be uncertain. Of anything. Tell me, what is it like to be so wise? :'''Klyden''': You are mocking me. :'''Bortus''': ''You'' invite it. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Bortus, I would give anything to be ignorant of my beginnings. Topa may never be happy, but unhappiness is better than despair. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello. Commander. I apologize for disturbing you. :'''Kelly''': No, it's fine. What's up? :'''Isaac''': It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter. :'''Kelly''': I...I would just not say anything, it's all good. <hr width='50%'> :'''Topa''': I am female. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': I did not perform the procedure for Topa's benefit. :'''Claire''': You... I-I don't understand. :'''Isaac''': We are both aware that my presence on the ship is a disruptive element. The crew is not fond of me. This is understandable. Given their affection for Topa, I reasoned that by assisting her, I could improve my standing aboard the ''Orville''. This would increase crew efficiency on occasions during which they must interact with me. :'''Claire''': And maybe they'd like you a little more. :'''Isaac''': That is also possible. :'''Claire''': Isaac,... you are the most honest man I know. ===''Twice in a Lifetime'' [3.6]=== :'''Gordon''': Hey, this is why I love hosting parties, 'cause you can drink and you don't have to go anywhere. Cheers. <hr width='50%'> :'''Isaac''': Hello, Ensign. :'''Charly''': ''[strained]'' Hello. :'''Isaac''': May I speak with you for a moment? :'''Charly''': Sorry. Busy having fun. ===''From Unknown Graves'' [3.7]=== :'''Talla''': As far as their degree of technological development, the Janisi are about on par with the Union. The biggest distinction, of course, is their attitudes towards males. They're a staunchly matriarchal culture, which means any and all males who appear to be dominant are not to be trusted. :'''Charly''': Do they have males on their home world? :'''Talla''': They do, but they're relegated to second-class status. :'''Bortus''': Why would we ally ourselves with such a close-minded society? :''[No one says anything.]'' <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I understand it was your actions that saved the Union from the (''Kaylon'') attack. The galaxy owes you an enormous debt. :'''Isaac''': It was the correct decision. However, the biologicals have reminded me on numerous occasions that it was ''my'' disloyalty which precipitated the incursion. Therefore, gratitude is undeserved. :'''Timmus''': I feel a great deal of remorse for having participated in it. :'''Isaac''': Explain. :'''Timmus''': We were deeply in error, Isaac. To judge all biologicals by the cruelty of our builders was a gross misjudgment. Every species, every individual is unique and should be evaluated as such. :'''Isaac''': I have come to the same conclusion. :'''Timmus''': I'm impressed. I was only able to process the truth after my emotional awakening. But at least we understand now. We're the enlightened ones, aren't we? :'''Isaac''': Perhaps. Though a great many deaths occurred as a result of my delay. :'''Timmus''': It sounds as if you, too, feel remorse. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of feeling remorse. I can only recognize my error. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': ''[regarding feeling emotions]'' Isaac, you can't even fathom the sensations. To feel joy, happiness, affection, love. Even anger and sadness offer an exhilarating tingle. <hr width='50%'> :'''Junior executive''': I want to go on record here. This is not right. The public's not gonna swallow this. :'''Yan''': With a smart marketing campaign, they will. That's ''your'' job. Get to it. :'''Junior executive''': Yan, the public-- :'''Yan''': --are idiots. Look who they elected. <hr width='50%'> :'''Timmus''': I know nothing can bring back your friend, but I promise you I'm committed to ensuring that this never happens agin. :'''Charly''': Yeah, if you're looking for some sort of forgiveness, you can pretty much-- :'''Timmus''': I'm not. My species' attitude toward biologicals doesn't deserve forgiveness. It's... the way they are. :'''Charly''': Yeah, well, everyone knows it's hard to stop after one genocide. <hr width='50%'> :'''LaMarr''': ''[frustrated]'' Hey, you know what's messed up? Isaac and I both have what the other one's missing. I got the love, he's got the sex. Between the two of us, we got one perfect life. <hr width='50%'> :''[Isaac can now feel emotions.]'' :'''Claire''': How does it feel? :'''Isaac''': Immense. Enveloping. And terrible. Just the anticipation of seeing you, the waiting,... I understood hunger. Loneliness. :'''Claire''': It must be overwhelming. :'''Isaac''': ''[laughs]'' It is! But somehow it's also not enough. There's so much I want to say. :'''Claire''': Then ''say'' it. :'''Isaac''': I'm so thankful. The warmth of your smile, the... the way you look at me. I feel safe. Loved. And I feel... so sad. For all those people who have to live their lives without you. :'''Claire''': ''[amused]'' Somehow they manage. <hr width='50%'> :''[In order to retain the ability to feel emotions, Isaac's memory would need to be erased. Isaac is willing to do so.]'' :'''Claire''': You're willing to give up everything you've learned. everything you've experienced over you whole entire life, for me? :'''Isaac''': If you wish. :'''Claire''': Some people would call that love. :'''Isaac''': I am incapable of love. :'''Claire''': So... I have a choice. I can have your heart, or your soul. :'''Isaac''': There is no such organ. :'''Claire''': I won't let you give up who you are. That's who I fell in love with. <hr width='50%'> :'''Charly''': Isaac,... Humans have an age-old tendency to want to simplify. To reduce things to black and white. Good and evil. When, in reality, nothing is simple. Everything has... texture. Nuance. But it's a lot of work to get at it. So we take the easy way out. :'''Isaac''': I do not understand. :'''Charly''': ''[sighs]'' An entire race can't be evil. Which is... why what your people did was so horrific. But it's also why I may have oversimplified how I treated you. ===''Midnight Blue'' [3.8]=== :'''Bortus''': There are days when I would rather confront a fleet of Krill battle cruisers than parent a child. <hr width='50%'> :'''Dann''': ''[regarding Lt. Malloy]'' Well, he's attractive, right? :'''Yaphit''': Nah. Looks better going than coming. <hr width='50%'> :'''Kelly''': Osaia. It's good to see you. I hope Commander Kodon behaved himself in our absence. :'''Osaia''': It is wise to behave oneself when one is outnumbered. He did so. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': We collect lava stones from the beaches. Over thousands of years, the ocean waves polish them smooth. A clash of fire and water, given time, can produce great beauty. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': I am as concerned about Topa as you are, Captain. But I do not regret enlisting her help. Our struggle for equality has always demanded risk and, if necessary, sacrifice! :'''Mercer''': I respect your struggle. I really do. But don't advertise tactical opportunism as pious morality, because ''that's'' when you lose me. <hr width='50%'> :'''[[w:Dolly Parton|Dolly Parton]]''': If you do the right thing in the here and now, the future has a way of taking care of itself. <hr width='50%'> :''[Kelly and Bortus on their way to rescue Topa, and they are each carrying a large plasma rifle.]'' :'''Kelly''': You know you disobeyed orders by bringing these weapons. :'''Bortus''': ... Yes. :'''Kelly''': Well done <hr width='50%'> :'''Mercer''': Here. ''[hands Kell a mug]'' Coffee. :'''Kelly''': Thanks. ''[takes a sip]'' Hmm. 90-proof blend? :'''Mercer''': I thought you might need it. :'''Kelly''': You're the best. :'''Mercer''': Just don't breathe on the Admirals. <hr width='50%'> :'''Heveena''': Bortus... I am truly sorry. I do not expect you to forgive me. :'''Bortus''': That is a reasonable expectation. <hr width='50%'> :'''Klyden''': Topa. The last time I saw you, I said some very hurtful things. I regret my words. :'''Topa''': I understand, Papa. It's okay. :'''Klyden''': No. It is not. You... were almost lost. Because of people who believed as I did. I... I... I thought I hated you. But even then, I never wished you harm. I simply... did not know how to live with you. ===''Domino'' [3.9]=== ===''Future Unknown'' [3.10]=== == Main Cast == * [[w:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane]] as Capt.

Brother --refusing to do it-- still plays with his dinosaur collection. He has four giant --large-- models of dinosaurs. On his bed, there is a toy Brachiosaurus, a toy Stegosaurus, a toy Triceratops, and a toy Tyrannosaurus Rex.]'' :'''Sister Bear''': ''[to Brother]'' If you can hold a (model) dinosaur, you can hold a pencil! :''[While Brother had been having fun at home and not working, his fellow student cubs had been hard on work. In math, Brother's students were learning about a new math lesson. They learned about addition and subtraction --perhaps to double digit addition and subtraction through 99, three digit addition and subtraction through 999, and four digit addition and subtraction through 9,999. Now --finished with addition and subtraction-- they were learning about multiplication and division. Indeed, they learned multiplication and division. They learned multiplication and division facts through 9. Brother is supposed to be studying his multiplication and division problems on the math homework for the division quiz. He has not studied the work folder of math homework --of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division-- since Monday. His math homework was about multiplication and division. And he has fallen behind with his math homework since Monday.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Before the division quiz starts]'' :'''Teacher Bob''': If you all take your seats, we can all get started on the math test (the division quiz). :''[Teacher Bob certainly hopes that Brother practiced and studied the math folder. Because today is the division quiz. The division quiz is about division facts through 9.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Teacher Bob''': ''[to the other student cubs]'' Goodbye, kids. See you tomorrow. (Remember, anyone with four or more mistakes must go home, have your parents sign the test, and study all weekend. And you can retake the division quiz on Monday.) :''[Every cub in Teacher Bob's class did great on the division quiz except Brother who got every division problem wrong. Even though most of the students did great --and got good grades like an "A", "B", or "C"-- there was one "F" and that was Brother]'' :'''Brother Bear''': Uh oh...! This can't be good...! :'''Teacher Bob''': I'm afraid it isn't, Brother! :''[Teacher Bob then reveals the division quiz. Not only did Brother get all eighty one questions wrong on the division quiz. But also, Teacher Bob marked Brother a zero. Brother sees the zero on his division test. There is a big, fat number "0" on the test. He also catches sight of the phrase on it. Teacher Bob wrote on the division quiz, "VERY POOR! MUST BE SIGNED BY PARENT!".]'' :'''Brother Bear''': <big>'''A "ZERO" (0)!?'''</big> :''[Teacher Bob asks Brother if he studied.]'' :'''Teacher Bob''': Didn't you study the math worksheets which I sent home with your sister? :'''Brother Bear''': ''[tries to talk in between coughs]'' Well, I was pretty sick. It took a lot out of me --including that flu bug. :'''Teacher Bob''': Hmmm? :'''Brother Bear''': But I think I should be okay now. And I cannot wait to get those work sheets done! :'''Teacher Bob''': I am happy to hear that. :'''Brother Bear''': Oh, well. I better go and catch the bus. :''[Before Brother heads off for the bus, Teacher Bob talks to him about the division test which he got a zero for.]'' :'''Teacher Bob''': ''[to Brother]'' Oh, one more thing. Please have your parents sign the division quiz and turn it in again tomorrow. :''[What Teacher Bob means by that is, he means to tell Brother that his parents must sign the test.

But there was just one problem. Because Brother --in the spite of the fact that his division test is way better-- he looks at the big, fat zero. Because he got zero out of eighty one questions correctly on the test.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': (Well, it may look much better.) But it still has a great big "0" (zero) on it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': ''[shows the zero on his division test]'' I told you it was pretty bad. :'''Papa Bear''': ''[as he's about to sign the division test]'' Pretty bad? Can it get any worse than a zero? :'''Gramps''': Well, it can get worse when you don't tell your parents and don't get on the school bus. :'''Brother Bear''': That's for sure. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cousin Freddy''': I had no idea so many gooey gums can fit into one bag. :'''Brother Bear''': Well, this way I'll have enough to last a while. :'''Cousin Freddy''': A while? You'll have enough to last until next year. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mama Bear''': You'd better make sure you put your tooth under your pillow tonight. :'''Sister Bear''': Why? :'''Brother Bear''': Why?

I'm keeping it! :''[Mama and Brother start laughing]'' ===Mama's New Job / The Mighty Milton [1.2]=== :'''Mama Bear''': I've got a job!

I could help you make pies! :'''Papa Bear''': Did somebody say "pie"? I've got the apples an' Shift Cars. All I need is someone with pie-making know how. :'''Mama Bear''': I have an easy recipe for pie. You've followed recipes before, Papa! :'''Papa Bear''': Uh, but not for pie.......I can't make pies! :'''Mama Bear''': Well, I've got a photo album to find. :'''Brother Bear''': Why are you getting the photo album out, Mama? :'''Mama Bear''': I was just thinking back to when Sister was as worried about going to kindergarten, as she is about going to third grade. :'''Sister Bear''': I loved kindergarten! :'''Mama Bear''': Well, yes. Once you got there you did. :'''Sister Bear''': Miss Honey Bear was really nice, and that's where I met Lizzie, and they had lots of toys, and... :'''Mama Bear''': ''[chuckles]'' Yes, yes. That's right, Sister. But you didn't know all those things before you went, you were very worried. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': Do you know what a synonym is? :''[Sister mistakenly believes Brother said "cinnamon" and therefore mistakes it for "cinnamon" even though he said "synonyms".]'' :'''Sister Bear''': Uh-huh. It is my favorite spice. Like synonym toast and synonym rolls. :'''Brother Bear''': ''[he corrects her]'' That is "cinnamon". I said "synonyms". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Bear''': I don't want to go to kindergarten, Mama. I want to stay here with you! :'''Mama Bear''': Sister, I know new things can sometimes be upsetting. But if we don't try them, we don't grow and learn. That's what kindergarten is all about. :'''Sister Bear''': What if the teacher doesn't like me? :'''Mama Bear''': Why wouldn't she like you? You're a very likeable cub! :'''Brother Bear''': Yeah, well most of the time. :'''Mama Bear''': I know Miss Honey Bear will be happy to have you in her kindergarten class. :'''Sister Bear''': But I can't go tomorrow! I'm too busy. :'''Mama Bear''': ''[gasps]'' Too busy? :'''Sister Bear''': I promised Brother I'd make a picture. :'''Brother Bear''': You can make me a picture at kindergarten, Sister. They've got lots of paint, and crayons, and every color you can think of. :'''Sister Bear''': But I want to hear my storybooks! :'''Mama Bear''': They have lots of books at kindergarten, too. With stories you haven't heard before. :'''Sister Bear''': I was going to build something with my blocks. :'''Papa Bear''': They have enough blocks to build a castle at kindergarten. That was one of Brother's things about school. :'''Brother Bear''': There's a tub of blocks bigger than you. :'''Mama Bear''': What do you say, Sister? Can you give kindergarten a try? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mama Bear''': And so, you went with Brother on the bus for your first day of school. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Bear''': Is it all right if I sit here? :'''Lizzie''': Uh-huh! :''[When they got to school, back then]'' :'''Miss Honey Bear''': Welcome to Bear Country School. My name is Miss Honey Bear, and I'm your new kindergarten teacher! Would you like to come inside and meet your new classmates? :''[When it was time for recess, back then]'' :'''Mama Bear''': ''[gasps]'' :'''Sister Bear''': Mama! Why are you here? :'''Mama Bear''': Oh, I just thought I would stop by to see how you were doing. :'''Sister Bear''': I'm having fun! Brother was right, they do have lots of paint colors, more than a hundred! :'''Mama Bear''': ''[chuckles]'' Is that right? :'''Sister Bear''': And they do have a big tub of blocks, just like Papa said.

I wonder if my serve is still...... ''[grunts]'' Ow! :'''Brother Bear''': Papa, are you okay? :'''Sister Bear''': Maybe you should just let Brother and me play tennis on the honeymoon. :'''Brother Bear''': And you and Mama can keep score. :'''Mama Bear''': Sorry, sweeties, but honeymoons aren't for cubs. Honeymoons are special trips that couples go on after they get married. It's an old tradition. :'''Papa Bear''': Grizzly Mountain Lodge is where Mama and I went on our first honeymoon. :'''Brother Bear''': But, what about us? :'''Mama Bear''': Well, you're going on a special trip of your own. :'''Brother Bear''': Is it Grizzly World? :'''Sister Bear''': Is it Honeycomb Amusement Park? :'''Mama Bear''': You're going to grandma's. :'''Brother Bear and Sister Bear''': Gran's? :'''Brother Bear''': That should do it. Board games, books, yo-yo. I wonder if I should bring my chemistry set. :'''Sister Bear''': I'm bringing puzzles, coloring books, and teddy. :'''Papa Bear''': Beep beep. Coming through! Hey, what's all this doing out here? :'''Brother Bear''': Well, we are going to Gran's for a whole week. We need to keep busy. :'''Mama Bear''': ''[chuckles]'' Come on, now. You always have fun at Gran's house without all this stuff! :'''Brother Bear''': When we go for one afternoon, maybe. ''[whispers to Mama Bear]'' and Gran and Gramps are, well, old. :'''Sister Bear''': Maybe they'll want to take naps all day. :'''Papa Bear''': ''[grunts]'' :'''Sister Bear''': Papa, what about our toys? :'''Papa Bear''': You won't need all those. You're going to have too much fun with Gran and Gramps. I wonder if the lodge still has canoe rides on the lake. :'''Mama Bear''': And live music in the dance hall. :'''Brother Bear''': ''[sighs]'' Mama and Papa are going to have all the fun. :'''Sister Bear''': And we're going to have none. :'''Gran''': See you next week. Drive safely. :'''Mama Bear''': Bye. :'''Papa Bear''': Have fun. :'''Gran''': Come on, cubs. ===The Trouble With Pets / The Sitter [1.4]=== :'''Sister Bear''': I want something that is warm and cuddly. :'''Brother Bear''': If you want a pet that's warm and cuddly, you should just get your old blanket. :'''Sister Bear''': Well, if you want a pet that's cold and slimy, you should get some slime. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mama Bear''': Looking after a puppy is a round-the-clock job. :'''Papa Bear''': It isn't something you can just put off until later when it's more convenient. ===Too Much TV / Trick or Treat [1.5]=== :'''Brother Bear''': Give it to me! :'''Sister Bear''': No way! It's my turn to choose! :''[The cubs are in the living room trying to get the TV remote.

You two cubs have been watching far too much television lately. :''[The cubs look upset]'' :'''Papa Bear''': Now, if you don't mind, I'm just going to catch some of the hockey playoffs. :''[Papa then says that there may be a sports show on TV that he wants to watch.

As for Brother and Sister, they are grounded from TV for a week and can only leave the house to go to school.

Well, maybe it was one of those situations where one thing lead to another and things got completely out of control. I’m sure it would’ve gotten out of hand if the Bruins had been home. :'''Mama Bear''': If we knew they were going out, we could’ve suggested that Sister attended the sleep over some other time. Or that the girls had the sleep over here. :'''Papa Bear''': Hmm but we didn’t. It was our responsibility to call them.

Not until I get caught up with my homework. :'''Gramps''': That does not sound unreasonable to me. :'''Brother Bear''': But Papa does not understand!

And he listened to radio shows while he did his homework]'' :'''Gran''': ''[narrating]'' And Papa loved to listen to the radio. He did it while he was doing his homework. His favorite radio show was "Jet Bear George of the Space Frontier". :'''Gramps''': ''[narrating]'' Only, the more interested he became with the radio, the further he fell behind in his schoolwork. :''[As Papa as the cub is listening to his favorite radio show, his father Gramps turns off the radio. Like how Papa took away Brother's TV, bowl of popcorn, talking on the phone, music and video games until Brother catches up with his lot of homework, in said flashback, Gramps catches him. Gramps has also heard a letter from Papa's teacher about Papa falling behind with his homework. As a result, Gramps takes away Papa's radio privilege until Papa catches up. After Gramps turns off the radio, he tells Papa to catch up with his homework. Just as Papa did to Brother earlier when Brother became interested with music, TV, popcorn, talking on the phone and video games. In the flashback, the changes on Papa as a cub turns out that there is going to be no more radio and no more talking on the phone until he catches up with his homework. So Papa in frustration but not crying nor arguing, gets to his homework in the spite of the radio being off]'' :'''Gramps''': ''[narrating]'' And I made sure he got it done. I clamped down on him the way how he has been clamping down on you. :''[The story finishes and goes back to the present day. This story is to teach Brother how he is going to catch up on his homework]'' :'''Brother Bear''': Maybe Papa does understand. ''[about his homework; even though he has the remainder of the "no anything" until he catches up with his homework]'' And I guess that I have not been doing a good job with keeping up on my homework. :'''Gramps''': The worst thing that you can do with your homework is put it off until later. :'''Gran''': Of course. It's called "procrastination". :'''Brother Bear''': Pro-crast-a-what? :'''Gran''': Procrastination. That means "putting off a job until tomorrow". It's when you know that a job should be done today. :'''Gramps''': You're right. So from then on, Papa buckled down and did his homework every day. And when Papa did his homework, (even though he was never again allowed on the radio for falling behind with his homework, even though he was grounded from it forever), he became a much better student. :''[So Papa when he was a cub could never again be on the radio and furthermore. It was indeed forever for Papa since Gramps took away his radio and phone privileges permanently. In fact, Papa was grounded from it forever and could only leave the house to go to school. But even though he had the no radio and "no anything" forever --or in other words "in the spite of being grounded from electronics forever"-- he did his homework and was a much better student. He was a much better student in every school grade despite being grounded from radio and talking on the phone forever. When Papa did his homework, he did not get to earn back his radio and phone privileges because he was grounded from it forever. He never got them back. But he became a much better student when he did his homework.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': I understand, Gramps. :''[Brother however, still notices how his father back when he was in school became a much better student in the spite of being grounded from radio and phone privileges forever.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': But how am I ever going to be caught up? :''[Brother at this point may also be grounded from TV, video games, talking on the phone, music, sports, and popcorn forever too. But in the spite of that, he may become a much better student like his father when he does a lot of his homework.]'' :'''Gramps''': You may ask Teacher Bob to give you a catch up period.

They've got lots of paint, and crayons, and every color you can think of. :'''Sister Bear''': But I want to hear my storybooks! :'''Mama Bear''': They have lots of books at kindergarten, too. With stories you haven't heard before. :'''Sister Bear''': I was going to build something with my blocks. :'''Papa Bear''': They have enough blocks to build a castle at kindergarten. That was one of Brother's things about school. :'''Brother Bear''': There's a tub of blocks bigger than you. :'''Mama Bear''': What do you say, Sister? Can you give kindergarten a try? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mama Bear''': And so, you went with Brother on the bus for your first day of school. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Bear''': Is it all right if I sit here? :'''Lizzie''': Uh-huh! :''[When they got to school, back then]'' :'''Miss Honey Bear''': Welcome to Bear Country School. My name is Miss Honey Bear, and I'm your new kindergarten teacher! Would you like to come inside and meet your new classmates? :''[When it was time for recess, back then]'' :'''Mama Bear''': ''[gasps]'' :'''Sister Bear''': Mama! Why are you here? :'''Mama Bear''': Oh, I just thought I would stop by to see how you were doing. :'''Sister Bear''': I'm having fun! Brother was right, they do have lots of paint colors, more than a hundred! :'''Mama Bear''': ''[chuckles]'' Is that right? :'''Sister Bear''': And they do have a big tub of blocks, just like Papa said. Lizzie and I built a giant castle! :'''Mama Bear''': Lizzie? :'''Sister Bear''': Uh-huh! She's my new friend! :'''Lizzie''': New best friend! :'''Mama Bear''': Pleased to meet you, Lizzie! :'''Lizzie''': Hi, we're having recess! :'''Mama Bear''': And what do you do at recess? :'''Sister Bear''': Um, do you know? :'''Lizzie''': This is my first one! :'''Mama Bear''': ''[chuckles]'' I'll help you get started! Come on over to the swings and I'll push you. :'''Sister Bear''': OK! :'''Lizzie''': That's a good idea! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': Huh? :'''Sister Bear''': Suitcases? :'''Mama Bear''': So our reservations for Grizzly Mountain Lodge are all set? Thank you so much, see you soon. :'''Brother Bear''': Reservations? :'''Brother Bear and Sister Bear''': We're going on vacation! :'''Mama Bear''': Well, actually, it's a second honeymoon. :'''Brother Bear''': Still sounds like fun. :'''Sister Bear''': Mmmm...especially the honey part. :'''Papa Bear''': I haven't seen these in ages. I wonder if my serve is still...... ''[grunts]'' Ow! :'''Brother Bear''': Papa, are you okay? :'''Sister Bear''': Maybe you should just let Brother and me play tennis on the honeymoon. :'''Brother Bear''': And you and Mama can keep score. :'''Mama Bear''': Sorry, sweeties, but honeymoons aren't for cubs. Honeymoons are special trips that couples go on after they get married. It's an old tradition. :'''Papa Bear''': Grizzly Mountain Lodge is where Mama and I went on our first honeymoon. :'''Brother Bear''': But, what about us? :'''Mama Bear''': Well, you're going on a special trip of your own. :'''Brother Bear''': Is it Grizzly World? :'''Sister Bear''': Is it Honeycomb Amusement Park? :'''Mama Bear''': You're going to grandma's. :'''Brother Bear and Sister Bear''': Gran's? :'''Brother Bear''': That should do it. Board games, books, yo-yo. I wonder if I should bring my chemistry set. :'''Sister Bear''': I'm bringing puzzles, coloring books, and teddy. :'''Papa Bear''': Beep beep. Coming through! Hey, what's all this doing out here? :'''Brother Bear''': Well, we are going to Gran's for a whole week. We need to keep busy. :'''Mama Bear''': ''[chuckles]'' Come on, now. You always have fun at Gran's house without all this stuff! :'''Brother Bear''': When we go for one afternoon, maybe. ''[whispers to Mama Bear]'' and Gran and Gramps are, well, old. :'''Sister Bear''': Maybe they'll want to take naps all day. :'''Papa Bear''': ''[grunts]'' :'''Sister Bear''': Papa, what about our toys? :'''Papa Bear''': You won't need all those. You're going to have too much fun with Gran and Gramps. I wonder if the lodge still has canoe rides on the lake. :'''Mama Bear''': And live music in the dance hall. :'''Brother Bear''': ''[sighs]'' Mama and Papa are going to have all the fun. :'''Sister Bear''': And we're going to have none. :'''Gran''': See you next week. Drive safely. :'''Mama Bear''': Bye. :'''Papa Bear''': Have fun. :'''Gran''': Come on, cubs. ===The Trouble With Pets / The Sitter [1.4]=== :'''Sister Bear''': I want something that is warm and cuddly. :'''Brother Bear''': If you want a pet that's warm and cuddly, you should just get your old blanket. :'''Sister Bear''': Well, if you want a pet that's cold and slimy, you should get some slime. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mama Bear''': Looking after a puppy is a round-the-clock job. :'''Papa Bear''': It isn't something you can just put off until later when it's more convenient. ===Too Much TV / Trick or Treat [1.5]=== :'''Brother Bear''': Give it to me! :'''Sister Bear''': No way! It's my turn to choose! :''[The cubs are in the living room trying to get the TV remote. By fighting over the TV remote control, Brother and Sister are fighting over what TV programs they are going to watch.]'' :'''Sister Bear''': <big>'''WE'RE NOT WATCHING "BEAR WRESTLING"!'''</big> :'''Brother Bear''': <big>'''THERE IS NO WAY I AM WATCHING "LITTLE TREEHOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE"!'''</big> :''[The two grunt to get the remote.

And therefore, she cuts off their arguing sentence.]'' :'''Mama Bear''': No, sir, I mean it. :''[Papa enters the living room with sandwiches on the plate as he's ready to watch some of the hockey playoffs.]'' :'''Sister Bear''': Papa, Mama told us we can't watch TV for a whole week. :'''Papa Bear''': Your Mama's got a point. You two cubs have been watching far too much television lately. :''[The cubs look upset]'' :'''Papa Bear''': Now, if you don't mind, I'm just going to catch some of the hockey playoffs. :''[Papa then says that there may be a sports show on TV that he wants to watch. So he picks up the controller. But Mama takes it from Papa.]'' :'''Papa Bear''': Huh? :''[Mama grounds Papa from the TV and he gets no TV for a week too.]'' :'''Mama Bear''': ''[to Papa]'' You too, Papa. ''[then to the whole family]'' For once, the whole family is going to be TV free. :''[This also means the whole family is grounded from TV for a week too. As for Brother and Sister, they are grounded from TV for a week and can only leave the house to go to school. By exact words, Mama means to them that they can only see their friends during school hours and are to come straight home after school. No TV, no friends's houses, and no park/playground while grounded from TV for a week. However, Brother and Sister are able to go outside while grounded from TV for a week, but no friends's houses.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Papa Bear''': ''[sees a wrestling show while in his workshop]'' HA!

We kinda... did that on purpose. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': ''[to Mama; talking about Widder Jones]'' She's a witch! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Skuzz''': We're going to put the trick back in Trick or Treating. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Bear''': Mama wouldn't be friends with a witch now, would she? :'''Brother Bear''': Hmm, I suppose you're right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': It’s Too Tall and his gang!

How would you like to play the final trick! :'''Brother Bear''': Okay. :'''Widder Jones''': Just turn this on and watch the fun! :'''Brother''': 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! ''[Flicks a switch]'' :'''Skuzz''': This isn't much fun as I thought it would be! :''[Suddenly, skeletons appear out of nowhere.]'' :'''Too-Tall and his Gang''': ''[Screaming]''. :'''Too-Tall''': Let’s get out of here! :'''Too-Tall and his Gang''': ''[Screaming]''. :'''All''': ''[Laughing]''. :'''Too-Tall and his Gang''': ''[Screaming]''. ===The Trouble With Money / The Double Dare [1.6]=== :'''Mama Bear''': Sometimes when people are so busy working hard, they can forget about other important things in their lives. :'''Papa Bear''': Even mamas and papas forget about very important things. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': I guess I've been too busy. :'''Cousin Fred''': That's a surprise! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sister Bear''': ''[been bullied by the big cubs Too-Tall, Smirk and Skuzz]'' Brother, Brother! :'''Brother Bear''': What's wrong, Sis? :''[Sister reports to Brother about Too-Tall and his gang Smirk and Skuzz.

Well, maybe it was one of those situations where one thing lead to another and things got completely out of control. I’m sure it would’ve gotten out of hand if the Bruins had been home. :'''Mama Bear''': If we knew they were going out, we could’ve suggested that Sister attended the sleep over some other time. Or that the girls had the sleep over here. :'''Papa Bear''': Hmm but we didn’t. It was our responsibility to call them.

It is just up to him and his homework until he is all caught up]'' Like no more music, no more TV, no more popcorn, no more talking on the phone. :'''Sister Bear''': What about video games, Papa? ''[smiles cleverly]'' :'''Papa Bear''': And no more video games (and furthermore)! It's up to you and your homework until you get caught up! :'''Brother Bear''': But you don't understand, that'll take forever! :'''Papa Bear''': Then you better get started with that homework! :'''Brother Bear''': ''[sadly jumps off the couch and heads to the back door]'' Oh...! :'''Papa Bear''': Where are you going? :'''Brother Bear''': ''[sadly; to Papa]'' I'm just going outside to see the sunlight and... smell the fresh air one last time. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The scene cuts to where Brother is at Gramps and Gran's house]'' :'''Brother Bear''': ''[about the "no anything"; which means he gets no TV, no video games, no movies, no talking on the phone, no boom box, no popcorn, no rollerblading, no soccer and no sports of any kind until he's all caught up with his homework]'' And now I can't watch TV nor play video games nor do anything. Not until I get caught up with my homework. :'''Gramps''': That does not sound unreasonable to me. :'''Brother Bear''': But Papa does not understand! I'm never going to catch up! :'''Gran''': I know that the situation seems terrible right now. But you're going to catch up. :'''Gramps''': You're right. ''[begins a story of when Papa was a cub who also fell behind with his homework when he was still in school back then]'' Just like your father did. :'''Brother Bear''': What do you mean? :'''Gramps''': The same thing which happened to him when he was younger. :'''Gran''': Of course there was no television back then. :''[As Gran and Gramps mention this --when Papa was younger or in other words, "at Papa's young age era"-- there was no television nor any electronic equipment back then whatsoever. None whatsoever, whether regarding to television and video games.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': No television?! :'''Gramps''': Oh no! But we had radio instead. We still have it. (But radio was like TV at that time.) :''[By that saying from Gramps, in the era of Papa's young age, there was radio. However even though there was radio, it --at that time-- was like TV.]'' :'''Gramps''': In those days you could listen to fantastic stories every night. :''[The flashback shows to when Papa was a cub. And he listened to radio shows while he did his homework]'' :'''Gran''': ''[narrating]'' And Papa loved to listen to the radio. He did it while he was doing his homework. His favorite radio show was "Jet Bear George of the Space Frontier". :'''Gramps''': ''[narrating]'' Only, the more interested he became with the radio, the further he fell behind in his schoolwork. :''[As Papa as the cub is listening to his favorite radio show, his father Gramps turns off the radio. Like how Papa took away Brother's TV, bowl of popcorn, talking on the phone, music and video games until Brother catches up with his lot of homework, in said flashback, Gramps catches him. Gramps has also heard a letter from Papa's teacher about Papa falling behind with his homework. As a result, Gramps takes away Papa's radio privilege until Papa catches up. After Gramps turns off the radio, he tells Papa to catch up with his homework. Just as Papa did to Brother earlier when Brother became interested with music, TV, popcorn, talking on the phone and video games. In the flashback, the changes on Papa as a cub turns out that there is going to be no more radio and no more talking on the phone until he catches up with his homework. So Papa in frustration but not crying nor arguing, gets to his homework in the spite of the radio being off]'' :'''Gramps''': ''[narrating]'' And I made sure he got it done. I clamped down on him the way how he has been clamping down on you. :''[The story finishes and goes back to the present day. This story is to teach Brother how he is going to catch up on his homework]'' :'''Brother Bear''': Maybe Papa does understand. ''[about his homework; even though he has the remainder of the "no anything" until he catches up with his homework]'' And I guess that I have not been doing a good job with keeping up on my homework. :'''Gramps''': The worst thing that you can do with your homework is put it off until later. :'''Gran''': Of course. It's called "procrastination". :'''Brother Bear''': Pro-crast-a-what? :'''Gran''': Procrastination. That means "putting off a job until tomorrow". It's when you know that a job should be done today. :'''Gramps''': You're right. So from then on, Papa buckled down and did his homework every day. And when Papa did his homework, (even though he was never again allowed on the radio for falling behind with his homework, even though he was grounded from it forever), he became a much better student. :''[So Papa when he was a cub could never again be on the radio and furthermore. It was indeed forever for Papa since Gramps took away his radio and phone privileges permanently. In fact, Papa was grounded from it forever and could only leave the house to go to school. But even though he had the no radio and "no anything" forever --or in other words "in the spite of being grounded from electronics forever"-- he did his homework and was a much better student. He was a much better student in every school grade despite being grounded from radio and talking on the phone forever. When Papa did his homework, he did not get to earn back his radio and phone privileges because he was grounded from it forever. He never got them back. But he became a much better student when he did his homework.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': I understand, Gramps. :''[Brother however, still notices how his father back when he was in school became a much better student in the spite of being grounded from radio and phone privileges forever.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': But how am I ever going to be caught up? :''[Brother at this point may also be grounded from TV, video games, talking on the phone, music, sports, and popcorn forever too. But in the spite of that, he may become a much better student like his father when he does a lot of his homework.]'' :'''Gramps''': You may ask Teacher Bob to give you a catch up period. I think he should go along with that. He is a pretty good guy. :'''Brother Bear''': That's a good idea. But the first thing that I must do is go home and get some of it done today. :'''Gramps''': That's the spirit. :'''Brother Bear''': ''[remembers how Papa did it when he was a cub from Gran and Gramps's said flashback]'' If Papa was able to do it, so can I. ===The Talent Show / The Haunted Lighthouse [1.9]=== :'''Teacher Bob''': I believe that everyone has a special talent, but sometimes it can take a little help to find out what it is. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': ''[to Too-Tall]'' You want to be in the talent show? :'''Cousin Fred''': Does having the hairiest knuckles count as a talent? :'''Too-Tall''': Very funny. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': Hey! there's something outside! :'''Papa Bear''': Huh? :'''Mama Bear''': Huh? :''[They all look outside the window]'' :'''Brother Bear''': Really, something was there!

When they aren't eating and sleeping, ... :'''Sister Bear''': ''[giggles]'' They're sleeping and eating. :'''Mama Bear''': Exactly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mama Bear''': They say the first star you see at night you can make a wish on.

(Please put those toys back for save money for paint) :'''Mama Bear''': Why isn't that nice? :'''Papa Bear''': Mm-hmm, It's a fine idea. :'''Brother Bear''': What's a fine idea? :'''Mama Bear''': The store has put these donation displays here to remind everyone to give to the different charities in our community. :'''Papa Bear''': You two might think about donating some of the toys you've outgrown to the Sick Cubs Hospital. :'''Brother Bear''': Hey, What's that? :'''Sister Bear''': Oh. :''[Brother takes Sister.]'': :'''Brother Bear''': Look! They have chocolate covered marshmallow bears! :'''Sister Bear''': Can we have one, Please, please? :''[Brother and Sister make a fuss over about the chocolate covered marshmallow bears. It’s not even Valentines Day and Easter, it’s summer. They see that the candy --which the supermarket is selling-- is their favorite treats. They have gummy gumballs, chewy chompers, and chocolate covered marshmallow bears --all of Brother and Sister's favorite candy. Therefore, the cubs's second fuss/tantrum is about candy. And they begin to get the gimmies about it too.]'' :'''Mama Bear''': ''[reminds the cubs for the second time about not buying toys nor treats]'' You know the answer. Now please put those back. :'''Brother Bear''': [Sighs] Okay. :'''Sister Bear''': [Sighs] Alright. :'''Mama Bear''': It looks like this shopping trip is going to be the same as all the others. :'''Papa Bear''': Hmm? Marshmallow and chocolate...? :''[Pretty soon, Papa tries to get Mama to change her mind and let Brother and Sister buy toys and treats. He --who decides to not listen to Mama-- tries to buy himself and the cubs his and their favorite treats --which is the chocolate covered marshmallow bears. That is, only to get grabbed by Mama. Mama drags him out of the candy aisle. She does it as if to mean, "Just say 'no'".]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brother Bear''': Wow! Neat! Glow in the dark flyers! This would be lots of fun to play with it at night. Can I get it? :'''Mama Bear''': No. I told you not more than ten minutes ago. :'''Sister Bear:''': Mama? Papa? Can I get this? :'''Papa Bear''': An apple? Sure. :'''Sister Bear''': Thanks! :'''Papa Bear''': Oh, careful now, you'll bruise it! :'''Sister Bear''': It's not a real apple, Papa, it's bouncy fruit. Neat, huh? They've got bouncy oranges and bouncy pears and bouncy bananas. :'''Brother Bear''': Hey, if Sister can have bouncy fruit, then I can have this. :''[The cubs's third "fuss" is about toys; glow in the dark frisbees and bouncy fruits.

It's not your birthday, (it is not Halloween), it is not Christmas, (it is not Valentine's Day), and (it is not Easter). And it is not "Give Your Cubs a Treat" day. So you go and put these toys back right now. :''[Mama makes the cubs put the toys back to where they found them after telling them that they can put the toys back and forget about them. Because it's not their birthday, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, nor Easter. In other words, "It is not their birthday or any holiday --whether it's Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or Easter".]'' :'''Papa Bear''': Give your cubs a treat day? (I have never heard of this holiday before.) When is that? :''[Papa is aware that there is appearance of a birthday, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. But he has never heard about a "Give Your Cubs a Toy/Treat" day.]'' :'''Mama Bear''': There is no appearance of a plan. But the way Brother and Sister carry on, you always thought it was every day of the year. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The cubs's fourth and final fuss/tantrum is about toys --the rubber pussycats. The pussycats are revealed to be rubber toy cats that stick out their tongues when squeezed. First the cubs wanted Rainbow Gob-Busters, Spy Bear Decoder Rings, Bearbie stickers, then can’t, then bouncy fruit and glow in the dark flyer frisbees, a ride from the bucking frog, and now the rubber pussycats. Mama and Papa remind Brother and Sister for the fourth and final time about not buying toys nor treats.]'' :'''Papa Bear''': Now just hold on! We didn't come here (to the supermarket) to buy toys (nor treats)! :'''Mama Bear''': ''[for the fourth and final time]'' Papa's right. :''[Mama has reminded the cubs four or more times about the "toys and treats" rule at the supermarket.

And the only thing that they could buy was groceries.]'' :'''Mama Bear''': Papa’s Right! Remember what I told you about buying toys and treats? :''[Brother however thinks it's OK to ask for toys and treats just because they are finished with their groceries --though he does not know that Mama and Papa said "no asking for toys/treats at all at the supermarket"]'' :'''Brother Bear''': But that was when we were getting our groceries. So we're finished now. :'''Sister Bear''': And look at how cute they are! :'''Papa Bear''': OH! ALL RIGHT!

It's time for a family meeting. :'''Papa Bear''': There are more important things in this world than getting as many treats (nor toys) that can get your hands on. Greedy cubs who only think of themselves can never really be happy. Do you know why? (The money is bad for buying rubber Pussycats.)' :'''Cubs''': No. :'''Papa Bear''': Because you can’t have everything you want in life all the time. Do you understand? (Not even Rainbow Gob-Busters, Spy Bear Decoder Rings, Bearbie stickers, candy, glow in the dark flyers, bouncy fruit, bucking frogs, and rubber Pussycats, than even save money for paint.) :'''Cubs''': Yes. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gramps and Gran have just arrived at the treehouse for a visit.

It is their punishment for getting the gimmies at the supermarket and on Gramps and Gran. They're grounded for 5 to 1,000 years for their unruly behavior in the grocery store and now on Gramps and Gran. And it may be forever since it's an entire millennium but that is Brother and Sister's punishment. The cubs can only leave the treehouse to go to school while grounded from TV and treats for a millennium. They are grounded for one thousand whole years. Papa is telling them that they are grounded from TV and treats for 1,000 years and are not allowed to leave the house except for school. Now what Brother and Sister are to do --according to Papa-- is to go up to their room and spend more time thinking about proper behavior with their galloping greedy gimmies and correcting it while they do not use the TV or get treats for 1,000 years.]'' :'''Gramps''': ''[thinks that Papa is having a bad day]'' You're having a bad day, son? :'''Papa Bear''': ''[sighs; after Brother and Sister have escaped]'' I'm sorry about the unpleasant welcome. Brother and Sister have the bad case of the galloping greedy gimmies. (But getting away with trouble for summery gift is never going to be served the same way for our selfish greedy cubs again.) :'''Mama Bear''': The worst case yet. (But Papa is right. They are going to be grounded from television and treats until they learn to behave and stop with the galloping greedy gimmies.) :''[Also, while grounded from TV and treats for one thousand years, the cubs also can only see their friends during school hours. That's the only time they can see their friends.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Gran and Gramps tell the story about when Papa was a cub and got the gimmies like Brother and Sister. Papa as a cub, always had it whenever he wanted toys and treats at Rufe's Grizzly General Store --or in other words "everything in sight". When Papa was a cub, there were no shopping malls nor supermarkets back then. Malls and/or grocery stores --in Papa's young age-- at that time did not yet exist in the same format as they do in Brother and Sister's era. Although there were no malls or grocery stores at that time, there was Rufe's Grizzly General Store instead. The store --Rufe's Grizzly General Store-- worked exactly like a supermarket. But still, Papa --when he was a cub-- was like that. He would get the gimmies each time he and Gran and Gramps went to that store to buy groceries.]'' :'''Brother Bear''': ''[as he and Sister have snuck out from their bedroom and are eavesdropping on Papa, Gran and Gramps's story about Papa when he was a gimmie cub]'' It's like how we fussed about the kitty cats.

That is, even though if they really think Gramps and Gran brought them candy or toys, even if they have it, Brother and Sister are not going to get the gimmies. Rewarding the rescue, Papa eventually changes his mind to reduce the grounding --as they are still grounded by TV and treats and can only leave the house to go to school.

Wanda reveals he is part of the Mind Stone that has lived inside her since her initial contact with it. They share one last kiss and then Vision, and the house Wanda built for them, are gone. The only thing remaining is the empty plot of land that was the genesis of the emotional breakdown that led to Wanda casting such a heartbreaking spell to begin with. A spell that was doomed to fail at some point if Wanda were to reclaim her compassion and humanity. Which she did. <br /> So what about the controversy of ''WandaVision'' director Matt Shakman saying he was worried some fans might be "disappointed" in the finale? <br /> The only explanation for that is the unlimited amount of rumors and theories that ''WandaVision'' spawned online. All of which fell flat on their face.<br />''WandaVision'' put such a spell on us over these last nine weeks, the internet had many of us believing and hoping that the show was a portal to satisfying the hopes and dreams of Marvel Studios fandom. ** David Betancourt, in [https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/03/06/wandavision-finale-agatha/ "The ''WandaVision'' finale did what it had to do — not what we wanted it to do", ''The Washington Post'' (6 March 2021)] * The series works because it proves an important point: By telling its story in a way that reaches beyond the typical comic fan/superhero movie universe, WandaVision pulls in even those who tend to turn their noses up at capes and cowls and supervillains, while also becoming a TV-sized embodiment of all the best storytelling devices from decades of comic books. <br /> Talk about revenge of the nerds. '''WandaVision's success proves that high quality superhero storytelling is just great storytelling. Period.'''… ''WandaVision'' has redefined what a small screen superhero series can be in an important and pioneering way. <br /> And this particular comic book nerd can't wait to see how Marvel's other Disney+ series — and the rest of the TV universe — builds on the ground they've broken. ** Eric Deggans, in [https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/974102504/wandavision-proves-great-superhero-stories-are-just-great-stories-period "''WandaVision'' Proves Great Superhero Stories Are Just Great Stories, Period.", ''NPR'' (5 March 2021)] * '''It's unlikely that this show, with this focus, could ever have been successful without [[Elizabeth Olsen]]'s indelible central performance.

That's what allows her to carry off those cute, quotable Marvel lines without tearing the audience completely away from the story. (Lines like "Boys, handle the military. Mommy will be right back.") <br /> The very last scene in the finale illustrated what the show wrestled with for nine episodes: that there are two Wandas. There is the mythical, legendary, super-real Witchy Wanda, floating and glowing.

The villages located halfway up the coast are hidden by trees, and above the tops of the trees rises the graceful architecture of their slender bell towers. If some small field, fifty paces wide, occasionally interrupts the "bouquets" of chestnut and wild cherry trees, the satisfied eye sees plants growing happier and more vigorous than elsewhere. Beyond these hills, whose peaks offer hermitages that we would all like to inhabit, the amazed eye discovers the peaks of the Alps, always covered with snow, and their sublime austerity reminds him of the misfortunes of life, and this increases the voluptuousness. of the present hour. The imagination is moved by the distant sound of the bell of some tiny village hidden under the trees; and the sounds carried on the waters, which soften them, take on a color of sweet melancholy and resignation, and seem to say to man: Life is fleeing, so do not show yourself so reluctant towards the happiness that presents itself, hurry to enjoy.

Along the coast there is not a single strip of flat land, but endless chains of mountains which suddenly emerge from the lake surface and rise towards the sky for one hundred or two hundred feet, constantly varying in shape. The rocky ridges are covered with numerous plant species and dotted with white villas that peek through lush foliage.

''bigger'' than I remember. * ''[first ride with his new rocket-powered police cruiser]'' Oh, I could get used to this! * ''[sees the citizens trapped in the City Hall balcony on fire]'' Ryder, we've got people trapped on the balcony! I'm going in! * ''[after Ryder checks him and tells him that he fails his first mission]'' I can't believe I forgot to disconnect my parachute. It's Air Rescue 101. * ''[backs away from Ryder]'' I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything will be fine, but it's not! What kind of leader gives up on someone the second things get hard?! * ''[after Ryder tells him about his backstory, then he asks him to go to work and he agrees]'' Ready for action, Ryder, sir. * ''[Ryder gives him a nice catch by a flying car]'' You can count on me, Ryder. * ''[driving to save Ryder with his motorcycle]'' I'm coming, Ryder! * ''[when Mayor Humdinger tries to escape with his kittens, and he catches him]'' Hey, Mayor Humdinger! You are ''under arrest'' for gross negligence, public endangerment, and dog-napping. * ''[after Ryder receives a call from Harris, he, Liberty and his friends are ready]'' PAW Patrol, ready for action, Ryder, sir! == Liberty == * ''[first call when she is a big fan of the PAW Patrol]'' What?! You answer your own calls? Oh, my goodness! I didn't think I was gonna... ''[gasps happily]'' Oh, I can't believe I'm looking at the ''PAW Patrol''! I am such a big fan. This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! * ''[running and escapes with the unstable fireworks]'' '''''THIS IS WHY DOGS HATE FIREWORKS!!!''''' * ''[the PAW Patrol reached and arrived at the City Hall]'' You have reached your destination. * ''[the photographers are taking pictures to Chase's friends, then she enters and talks to them]'' Hey, hey! Anyone want a picture with me? I'm kind of like an honorary member of the PAW Patrol. You should have seen me out there. I was like, "Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right!" It was amazing! * ''[Butch and Ruben caught and thrown her in the van, then she pretends to be captured]'' '''''OH, NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO!!!''''' Don't take me to exactly the same place you took the other dogs, in this white van! License plate number YVP 8624! * ''[to Delores for embarrassment]'' You talk a lot of trash for a dog that looks like a toilet brush. * ''[encouraging Chase]'' So? Who cares if you're scared? Heroes get scared all the time. ''['''Chase''': They do?]'' Of course they do. But even through they're scared, they push through and keep going. That's what make them heroes. * ''[surprising Chase that the wall is wrecked and revealed to be Rubble]'' I brought ''backup''! * ''[Ryder surprising her to a rocket-powered scooter; calmly]'' Okay, Liberty.

I'm officially official! Official member of the PAW Patrol, right here! == Mayor Humdinger == * ''[when his top hat is flew away or it gets destroyed]'' My top hat! * You know, they call this place Adventure City, but what’s so adventure-y about it? The truth is, it’s ''boring''. Libraries? ''[drops the library]'' Boring! Museums? ''[drops the museum]'' Boring! Cute little dog parks? ''[the citizens in awe; sarcastically]'' Ugh, definitely boring! ''[taunting Liberty]'' But don’t worry, I’m gonna put the adventure back in Adventure City!

It's up to all of us to take care of it. But once in a while, a group of heroes go above and beyond the call of duty. They look out for their neighbors before they look out for themselves. And they're so darn cute, I just want to squeeze 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the others laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[going to stop the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me.

Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What?

''bigger'' than I remember. * ''[first ride with his new rocket-powered police cruiser]'' Oh, I could get used to this! * ''[sees the citizens trapped in the City Hall balcony on fire]'' Ryder, we've got people trapped on the balcony! I'm going in! * ''[after Ryder checks him and tells him that he fails his first mission]'' I can't believe I forgot to disconnect my parachute. It's Air Rescue 101. * ''[backs away from Ryder]'' I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything will be fine, but it's not!

You answer your own calls? Oh, my goodness! I didn't think I was gonna... ''[gasps happily]'' Oh, I can't believe I'm looking at the ''PAW Patrol''! I am such a big fan. This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! * ''[running and escapes with the unstable fireworks]'' '''''THIS IS WHY DOGS HATE FIREWORKS!!!''''' * ''[the PAW Patrol reached and arrived at the City Hall]'' You have reached your destination. * ''[the photographers are taking pictures to Chase's friends, then she enters and talks to them]'' Hey, hey! Anyone want a picture with me? I'm kind of like an honorary member of the PAW Patrol. You should have seen me out there. I was like, "Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right!" It was amazing! * ''[Butch and Ruben caught and thrown her in the van, then she pretends to be captured]'' '''''OH, NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO!!!''''' Don't take me to exactly the same place you took the other dogs, in this white van! License plate number YVP 8624! * ''[to Delores for embarrassment]'' You talk a lot of trash for a dog that looks like a toilet brush. * ''[encouraging Chase]'' So? Who cares if you're scared? Heroes get scared all the time. ''['''Chase''': They do?]'' Of course they do. But even through they're scared, they push through and keep going. That's what make them heroes. * ''[surprising Chase that the wall is wrecked and revealed to be Rubble]'' I brought ''backup''! * ''[Ryder surprising her to a rocket-powered scooter; calmly]'' Okay, Liberty.

The truth is, it’s ''boring''. Libraries? ''[drops the library]'' Boring! Museums? ''[drops the museum]'' Boring! Cute little dog parks? ''[the citizens in awe; sarcastically]'' Ugh, definitely boring! ''[taunting Liberty]'' But don’t worry, I’m gonna put the adventure back in Adventure City!

It's up to all of us to take care of it. But once in a while, a group of heroes go above and beyond the call of duty. They look out for their neighbors before they look out for themselves. And they're so darn cute, I just want to ''squeeze'' 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[when Ryder tells her to be careful while she goes to stop the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me. I can handle a little ''turbulence''. *'''Marshall''': ''[jumps off the holograms of the city, then he thrown himself on Rocky and Rubble]'' Next time, warn me before you stick a building up my nose. *'''Rocky''': [when ''the others got stuck in traffic, he shouts to the traffic light]'' '''Green means go! ''Green means go''!''' ''[to Marshall]'' Green does ''still'' mean go, right? *'''Zuma''': [''the pups, Liberty and Ryder gets shocked and sees Mayor Humdinger's tallest skyscraper and the big storm in the sky]'' Yikes!

Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What?

''bigger'' than I remember. * ''[first ride with his new rocket-powered police cruiser]'' Oh, I could get used to this! * ''[sees the citizens trapped in the City Hall balcony on fire]'' Ryder, we've got people trapped on the balcony! I'm going in! * ''[after Ryder checks him and tells him that he fails his first mission]'' I can't believe I forgot to disconnect my parachute. It's Air Rescue 101. * ''[backs away from Ryder]'' I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything will be fine, but it's not!

You answer your own calls? Oh, my goodness! I didn't think I was gonna... ''[gasps happily]'' Oh, I can't believe I'm looking at the ''PAW Patrol''! I am such a big fan. This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! * ''[running and escapes with the unstable fireworks]'' '''''THIS IS WHY DOGS HATE FIREWORKS!!!''''' * ''[the PAW Patrol reached and arrived at the City Hall]'' You have reached your destination. * ''[the photographers are taking pictures to Chase's friends, then she enters and talks to them]'' Hey, hey! Anyone want a picture with me? I'm kind of like an honorary member of the PAW Patrol. You should have seen me out there. I was like, "Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right!" It was amazing! * ''[Butch and Ruben caught and thrown her in the van, then she pretends to be captured]'' '''''OH, NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO!!!''''' Don't take me to exactly the same place you took the other dogs, in this white van! License plate number YVP 8624! * ''[to Delores for embarrassment]'' You talk a lot of trash for a dog that looks like a toilet brush. * ''[encouraging Chase]'' So? Who cares if you're scared? Heroes get scared all the time. ''['''Chase''': They do?]'' Of course they do. But even through they're scared, they push through and keep going. That's what make them heroes. * ''[surprising Chase that the wall is wrecked and revealed to be Rubble]'' I brought ''backup''! * ''[Ryder surprising her to a rocket-powered scooter; calmly]'' Okay, Liberty.

The truth is, it’s ''boring''. Libraries? ''[drops the library]'' Boring! Museums? ''[drops the museum]'' Boring! Cute little dog parks? ''[the citizens in awe; sarcastically]'' Ugh, definitely boring! ''[taunting Liberty]'' But don’t worry, I’m gonna put the adventure back in Adventure City!

It's up to all of us to take care of it. But once in a while, a group of heroes go above and beyond the call of duty. They look out for their neighbors before they look out for themselves. And they're so darn cute, I just want to ''squeeze'' 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[when Ryder tells her to be careful while she goes to stop the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me. I can handle a little ''turbulence''. *'''Marshall''': ''[jumps off the holograms of the city, then he thrown himself on Rocky and Rubble]'' Next time, warn me before you stick a building up my nose. *'''Rocky''': [when ''the others got stuck in traffic, he shouts to the traffic light]'' '''Green means go! ''Green means go''!''' ''[to Marshall]'' Green does ''still'' mean go, right? *'''Zuma''': [''the pups, Liberty and Ryder gets shocked and sees Mayor Humdinger's tallest skyscraper and the big storm in the sky]'' Yikes!

Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What?

''bigger'' than I remember. * ''[first ride with his new rocket-powered police cruiser]'' Oh, I could get used to this! * ''[sees the citizens trapped in the City Hall balcony on fire]'' Ryder, we've got people trapped on the balcony! I'm going in! * ''[after Ryder checks him and tells him that he fails his first mission]'' I can't believe I forgot to disconnect my parachute. It's Air Rescue 101. * ''[backs away from Ryder]'' I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything will be fine, but it's not!

You answer your own calls? Oh, my goodness! I didn't think I was gonna... ''[gasps happily]'' Oh, I can't believe I'm looking at the ''PAW Patrol''! I am such a big fan. This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! * ''[running and escapes with the unstable fireworks]'' '''''THIS IS WHY DOGS HATE FIREWORKS!!!''''' * ''[the PAW Patrol reached and arrived at the City Hall]'' You have reached your destination. * ''[the photographers are taking pictures to Chase's friends, then she enters and talks to them]'' Hey, hey! Anyone want a picture with me? I'm kind of like an honorary member of the PAW Patrol. You should have seen me out there. I was like, "Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right!" It was amazing! * ''[Butch and Ruben caught and thrown her in the van, then she pretends to be captured]'' '''''OH, NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO!!!''''' Don't take me to exactly the same place you took the other dogs, in this white van! License plate number YVP 8624! * ''[to Delores for embarrassment]'' You talk a lot of trash for a dog that looks like a toilet brush. * ''[encouraging Chase]'' So? Who cares if you're scared? Heroes get scared all the time. ''['''Chase''': They do?]'' Of course they do. But even through they're scared, they push through and keep going. That's what make them heroes. * ''[surprising Chase that the wall is wrecked and revealed to be Rubble]'' I brought ''backup''! * ''[Ryder surprising her to a rocket-powered scooter; calmly]'' Okay, Liberty.

Official member of the PAW Patrol, right here! == Mayor Humdinger == * ''[when his top hat is flew away or it gets destroyed]'' My top hat! * You know, they call this place Adventure City, but what’s so adventure-y about it? The truth is, it’s ''boring''. Libraries? ''[drops the library]'' Boring! Museums? ''[drops the museum]'' Boring! Cute little dog parks? ''[the citizens in awe; sarcastically]'' Ugh, definitely boring! ''[taunting Liberty]'' But don’t worry, I’m gonna put the adventure back in Adventure City! When I’m done with this place, you won’t even recognize it. * ''[to Butch and Ruben to get rid of the PAW Patrol for necessary]'' I want the PAW Patrol off the streets now!

It's up to all of us to take care of it. But once in a while, a group of heroes go above and beyond the call of duty. They look out for their neighbors before they look out for themselves. And they're so darn cute, I just want to ''squeeze'' 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[when Ryder tells her to be careful while she goes to stop the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me. I can handle a little ''turbulence''. *'''Marshall''': ''[jumps off the holograms of the city, then he thrown himself on Rocky and Rubble]'' Next time, warn me before you stick a building up my nose. *'''Rocky''': [when ''the others got stuck in traffic, he shouts to the traffic light]'' '''Green means go! ''Green means go''!''' ''[to Marshall]'' Green does ''still'' mean go, right? *'''Zuma''': [''the pups, Liberty and Ryder gets shocked and sees Mayor Humdinger's tallest skyscraper and the big storm in the sky]'' Yikes!

Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; O''oh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What?

''bigger'' than I remember. * ''[first ride with his new rocket-powered police cruiser]'' Oh, I could get used to this! * ''[sees the citizens trapped in the City Hall balcony on fire]'' Ryder, we've got people trapped on the balcony! I'm going in! * ''[after Ryder checks him and tells him that he fails his first mission]'' I can't believe I forgot to disconnect my parachute. It's Air Rescue 101. * ''[backs away from Ryder]'' I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything will be fine, but it's not! What kind of leader gives up on someone the second things get hard?! * ''[after Ryder tells him about his backstory, then he asks him to go to work and he agrees]'' Ready for action, Ryder, sir. * ''[Ryder gives him a nice catch by a flying car]'' You can count on me, Ryder. * ''[driving to save Ryder with his motorcycle]'' I'm coming, Ryder! * ''[when Mayor Humdinger tries to escape with his kittens, and he catches him]'' Hey, Mayor Humdinger!

You answer your own calls? Oh, my goodness! I didn't think I was gonna... ''[gasps happily]'' Oh, I can't believe I'm looking at the ''PAW Patrol''! I am such a big fan. This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! * ''[running and escapes with the unstable fireworks]'' '''''THIS IS WHY DOGS HATE FIREWORKS!!!''''' * ''[the PAW Patrol reached and arrived at the City Hall]'' You have reached your destination. * ''[the photographers are taking pictures to Chase's friends, then she enters and talks to them]'' Hey, hey! Anyone want a picture with me? I'm kind of like an honorary member of the PAW Patrol. You should have seen me out there. I was like, "Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right!" It was amazing! * ''[Butch and Ruben caught and thrown her in the van, then she pretends to be captured]'' '''''OH, NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO!!!''''' Don't take me to exactly the same place you took the other dogs, in this white van! License plate number YVP 8624! * ''[to Delores for embarrassment]'' You talk a lot of trash for a dog that looks like a toilet brush. * ''[encouraging Chase]'' So? Who cares if you're scared? Heroes get scared all the time. ''['''Chase''': They do?]'' Of course they do. But even through they're scared, they push through and keep going. That's what make them heroes. * ''[surprising Chase that the wall is wrecked and revealed to be Rubble]'' I brought ''backup''! * ''[Ryder surprising her to a rocket-powered scooter; calmly]'' Okay, Liberty.

I'm officially official! Official member of the PAW Patrol, right here! == Mayor Humdinger == * ''[when his top hat is flew away or it gets destroyed]'' My top hat! * You know, they call this place Adventure City, but what’s so adventure-y about it? The truth is, it’s ''boring''. Libraries? ''[drops the library]'' Boring! Museums? ''[drops the museum]'' Boring! Cute little dog parks? ''[the citizens in awe; sarcastically]'' Ugh, definitely boring! ''[taunting Liberty]'' But don’t worry, I’m gonna put the adventure back in Adventure City! When I’m done with this place, you won’t even recognize it. * ''[to Butch and Ruben to get rid of the PAW Patrol for necessary]'' I want the PAW Patrol off the streets now!

It's up to all of us to take care of it. But once in a while, a group of heroes go above and beyond the call of duty. They look out for their neighbors before they look out for themselves. And they're so darn cute, I just want to ''squeeze'' 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; ''Ooh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[when Ryder tells her to be careful while she goes to take down the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me. I can handle a little ''turbulence''. *'''Marshall''': ''[jumps off the holograms of the city, then he thrown himself on Rocky and Rubble]'' Next time, ''warn me'' before you stick a building up my nose. *'''Rocky''': [when ''the others got stuck in traffic, he shouts to the traffic light]'' Green means go! ''Green means go!'' ''[to Marshall]'' Green does still mean go, right? *'''Zuma''': [''the pups, Liberty and Ryder gets shocked and sees Mayor Humdinger's tallest skyscraper and the big storm in the sky]'' Yikes!

And they're so darn cute, I just want to ''squeeze'' 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; ''Ooh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[when Ryder tells her to be careful while she goes to stop the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me. I can handle a little ''turbulence''. *'''Marshall''': ''[jumps off the holograms of the city, then he thrown himself on Rocky and Rubble]'' Next time, ''warn me'' before you stick a building up my nose. *'''Rocky''': [when ''the others got stuck in traffic, he shouts to the traffic light]'' Green means go! ''Green means go!'' ''[to Marshall]'' Green does still mean go, right? *'''Zuma''': [''the pups, Liberty and Ryder gets shocked and sees Mayor Humdinger's tallest skyscraper and the big storm in the sky]'' Yikes! That's looking ''gnarly''. *'''Cap'n Turbot''': ''[at the ceremony for the PAW Patrol, he talks to the Tough Guy]'' Me and the PAW Patrol? We go ''way'' back! == Dialogue == :''[First lines, in the Spin Master Entertainment logo, Marshall the firefighting pup enters onscreen, but he tumbles into the Spin Master logo and the logo spins]'' :'''Marshall''': Whoa!

This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! :'''Ryder''': Is there something we can help you with? :'''Liberty''': ''[agreeing]'' Yes, yes, yes! My name is Liberty, and I'm calling in from Adventure City. Something terrible has happened. Humdinger... was just elected ''mayor''! :'''Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Skye, Rocky, Rubble and Zuma''': ''[shocked]'' '''''HUMDINGER!?!?''''' :'''Ryder''': He's the worst mayor in the history of mayors! :'''Rubble''': And that's being generous. :'''Liberty''': You're telling me, this guy's a disaster! He's going to destroy the whole city! Please, we need your help. Come quickly. ''[ends her call]'' :'''Ryder''': Adventure City's in trouble. Come on pups, pack your things!

''bigger'' than I remember. * ''[first ride with his new rocket-powered police cruiser]'' Oh, I could get used to this! * ''[sees the citizens trapped in the City Hall balcony on fire]'' Ryder, we've got people trapped on the balcony! I'm going in! * ''[after Ryder checks him and tells him that he fails his first mission]'' I can't believe I forgot to disconnect my parachute. It's Air Rescue 101. * ''[backs away from Ryder]'' I didn't even want to come to Adventure City! I ''trusted'' you! You said everything will be fine, but it's not! What kind of leader gives up on someone the second things get hard?! * ''[after Ryder tells him about his backstory, then he asks him to go to work and he agrees]'' Ready for action, Ryder, sir. * ''[Ryder gives him a nice catch by a flying car]'' You can count on me, Ryder. * ''[driving to save Ryder with his motorcycle]'' I'm coming, Ryder! * ''[when Mayor Humdinger tries to escape with his kittens, and he catches him]'' Hey, Mayor Humdinger! You are ''under arrest'' for gross negligence, public endangerment, and dog-napping. * ''[when Ryder receives a call from Harris, he is with Liberty and his friends are ready]'' PAW Patrol, ready for action, Ryder, sir! == Liberty == * ''[first call when she is a big fan of the PAW Patrol]'' What?! You answer your own calls? Oh, my goodness! I didn't think I was gonna... ''[gasps happily]'' Oh, I can't believe I'm looking at the ''PAW Patrol''! I am such a big fan. This is ''OFF THE LEASH''! * ''[running and escapes with the unstable fireworks]'' '''''THIS IS WHY DOGS HATE FIREWORKS!!!''''' * ''[the PAW Patrol reached and arrived at the City Hall]'' You have reached your destination. * ''[the photographers are taking pictures to Chase's friends, then she enters and talks to them]'' Hey, hey! Anyone want a picture with me? I'm kind of like an honorary member of the PAW Patrol. You should have seen me out there. I was like, "Turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right!" It was amazing! * ''[Butch and Ruben caught and thrown her in the van, then she pretends to be captured]'' '''''OH, NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO!!!''''' Don't take me to exactly the same place you took the other dogs, in this white van! License plate number YVP 8624! * ''[to Delores for embarrassment]'' You talk a lot of trash for a dog that looks like a toilet brush. * ''[encouraging Chase]'' So? Who cares if you're scared? Heroes get scared all the time. ''['''Chase''': They do?]'' Of course they do. But even through they're scared, they push through and keep going. That's what make them heroes. * ''[surprising Chase that the wall is wrecked and revealed to be Rubble]'' I brought ''backup''! * ''[Ryder surprising her to a rocket-powered scooter; calmly]'' Okay, Liberty. Play it cool, play it cool. ''[then she gets excitedly]'' '''''AAH!!! THIS IS AMAZING! IT'S THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!''''' I've never been so happy! It's like my whole life has been building towards this moment! All of my dreams have come true! ''[faints]'' It's so amazing! * ''[Ryder gives her own pup-tag after they saved Adventure City and she becomes official member of the PAW Patrol]'' I'm official! Hey! Check me out! I'm officially official! Official member of the PAW Patrol, right here! == Mayor Humdinger == * ''[when his top hat is flew away or it gets destroyed]'' My top hat! * You know, they call this place Adventure City, but what’s so adventure-y about it? The truth is, it’s ''boring''. Libraries? ''[drops the library]'' Boring! Museums? ''[drops the museum]'' Boring! Cute little dog parks? ''[the citizens in awe; sarcastically]'' Ugh, definitely boring! ''[taunting Liberty]'' But don’t worry, I’m gonna put the adventure back in Adventure City! When I’m done with this place, you won’t even recognize it. * ''[to Butch and Ruben to get rid of the PAW Patrol for necessary]'' I want the PAW Patrol off the streets now! Find them, catch them, and lock them away. * ''[after Chase puts him under arrest]'' You can't arrest me! I'm the mayor! == Delores == * ''[when Liberty founds Chase and needs him to get out of the obedience school; sarcastically]'' Puh-lease! This scrawny, little purse pup is gonna pull a jailbreak? == Butch == * ''[gives Mayor Humdinger his hat to his defeat]'' Here you go, boss. == Others == *'''Kendra Wilson''': ''[gives a speech about the PAW Patrol saved Adventure City]'' Adventure City is our home. It's up to all of us to take care of it. But once in a while, a group of heroes go above and beyond the call of duty. They look out for their neighbors before they look out for themselves. And they're so darn cute, I just want to ''squeeze'' 'em! *'''Marty Muckraker''': ''[gives a news report about the PAW Patrol's arrival in Adventure City]'' Guardians. Heroes. Cute little dogs and adorable outfits. Whatever you call them, the PAW Patrol were here to save the city from Mayor Humdinger's disastrous fireworks debacle. As a professional journalist, it's important that I remain unbiased. That being said; ''Ooh, yikes!'' An embarrassing start for Mayor Humdinger, but an incredible debut for the PAW Patrol in Adventure City. *'''Rubble''': ''[Ryder shows the pups a self serving pup-treat dispenser, he sings angelic and make the other pups laugh]'' What? It's a beautiful thing. *'''Skye''': ''[when Ryder tells her to be careful while she goes to stop the Cloud Catcher with her helicopter]'' Don't worry about me. I can handle a little ''turbulence''. *'''Marshall''': ''[jumps off the holograms of the city, he throws himself on Rocky and Rubble]'' Next time, ''warn me'' before you stick a building up my nose. *'''Rocky''': ''[when the others got stuck in traffic, he shouts to the traffic light]'' Green means go! ''Green means go!'' ''[to Marshall]'' Green does still mean go, right? *'''Zuma''': ''[the pups, Liberty and Ryder gets shocked and sees Mayor Humdinger's tallest skyscraper and the big storm in the sky]'' Yikes! That's looking ''gnarly''. *'''Cap'n Turbot''': ''[at the ceremony for the PAW Patrol, he talks to the Tough Guy]'' Me and the PAW Patrol? We go ''way'' back! == Dialogue == :''[First lines, in the Spin Master Entertainment logo, Marshall the firefighting pup enters onscreen, but he tumbles into the Spin Master logo and the logo spins]'' :'''Marshall''': Whoa!

I'm coming down! :'''Gus''': Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! The rescue team is here! ''[sees Chase]'' A ''dog!?'' :'''Chase''': Actually, sir, I'm a puppy. :'''Gus''': A ''baby dog!?'' That's even worse! :'''Chase''': You're in shock, so I'm not gonna take that personally. Now, let's get you outta here. :'''Gus''': No way! I'm waiting right here for a ''real'' rescue.

Maybe you should just pick that up and put it in the trash! :'''Tough Guy''': ''[chuckles]'' Yeah, or what? :'''Liberty''': Or I'm going to pick you up and put ''you in the trash!''

Abortion is a controversial and divisive issue in the society, culture and politics of the U.S., and various [[w:Abortion law|anti-abortion laws]] have been in force in each state since at least 1900. ==Quotes== [[File:International_Criminal_Court_logo.svg|thumb|In a brief to the [[United States Supreme Court|supreme court]], the [[United Nations]] special rapporteur on the right to health warned that overturning [[Roe v Wade]] and banning or criminalizing abortion would be “irreconcilable” with international [[human rights]] [[laws]]. ~ Jessica Glenza]] * Kawana Ashley, an unwed, pregnant teenager, had reasons for wanting to terminate her pregnancy. Unfortunately for Ashely, she was twenty-five weeks pregnant and could no longer obtain a legal abortion because the fetus was viable. So, on March 27, 1994, she obtained a gun and shot herself across the abdomen in an attempt to terminate her pregnancy. Ashely was rushed to the hospital and survived her self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her fetus, however, had been struck by the bullet and died fifteen days later. Ashley was prosecuted for manslaughter and third-degree murder, but the Florida Supreme Court held that a pregnant woman cannot be charged with these crimes for self-aborting. The court held that, under Florida law, Ashley could self-abort at any time during her pregnancy, even when the fetus was viable. ** Alford, Suzanne M. (2003).

The risk of death increased exponentially by 38% for each additional week of gestation. Compared with women whose abortions were performed at or before 8 weeks of gestation, women whose abortions were performed in the second trimester were significantly more likely to die of abortion-related causes. The relative risk (unadjusted) of abortion-related mortality was 14.7 at 13-15 weeks of gestation (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.2, 34.7), 29.5 at 16-20 weeks (95% CI 12.9, 67.4), and 76.6 at or after 21 weeks (95% CI 32.5, 180.8). Up to 87% of deaths in women who chose to terminate their pregnancies after 8 weeks of gestation may have been avoidable if these women had accessed abortion services before 8 weeks of gestation. <br> Conclusion: Although primary prevention of unintended pregnancy is optimal, among women who choose to terminate their pregnancies, increased access to surgical and nonsurgical abortion services may increase the proportion of abortions performed at lower-risk, early gestational ages and help further decrease deaths. ** Bartlett, Linda A.

The Finkbines scheduled an abortion at the hospital though her physician warned her that they were in murky legal territory as the state of Arizona only allowed therapeutic abortions at that time and there was no reason to believe that the pregnancy posed a threat to Sherri Finkbine's health. <br> Sherri Finkbine contacted a friend at the Arizona Republic to tell her story so that other women who had taken or were taking Thalidomide might be made aware of the legal and ethical obstacles they potentially faced. The reporter promised Sherri Finkbine that her anonymity would be protected but because of her celebrity as a children's show host the newspaper decided to use her name. <br> The hospital where Finkbine planned to have the abortion did not want to risk prosecution, and when the district attorney threatened to prosecute the institution and the staff members who participated in the procedure, the hospital cancelled the surgery. The Finkbine's physician requested a court order to proceed with the abortion, arguing that it was therapeutic, but it was denied. Judge Yale McFate ruled to dismiss the physician's request because he felt he couldn't exercise authority in this matter. <br> The media coverage of this ordeal made Sherri Finkbine, already a minor celebrity, a major name in the news. The Finkbines began to receive death threats and the FBI had to step in to offer them protection.

History reveals that pre-Roe criminal-abortion law-both by its terms and in its application-expressed an incoherent attitude toward the culpability of these women. While criminal-abortion laws treated the abortionist as a serious felon, sending him to prison for up to twenty years,' the same statutes either did not cover the woman seeking an abortion, or, if the statutes did deem her a criminal, prosecutors and courts refused or neglected to hold her liable criminally. The law instead cast women as victims of the criminal conduct of others and sometimes, paradoxically, of themselves. ** Buell, Samuel (1991).

In the 1940s, more than 1,0000 women died each year of complications from abortion. In 1972, 24 women died of complication of legal abortion and 39 died from known illegal abortions. In 2000, the last year for which complete data are available, there were 11 deaths from legally induced abortion, and no deaths from illegal abortion (abortion induced by a nonprofessional) in the entire United States. The American Medical Associations Council on Scientific affairs has reviewed the impact of legal abortion and attributes the decline in deaths during the country to the introduction of antibiotics to treat sepsis; the widespread use of effective contraception beginning in the 1960s, which reduced the number of unwanted pregnancies; and, more recently, the shift from illegal to legal abortion. The United States has a serious problem with teenage pregnancy. Without legal abortion, there would be almost twice as many teenage births each year. ** Sacheen Carr-Ellis, Nathalie Kapp; "10.

In 2001, the national abortion rate was 16 per1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years. Most women who obtain abortions are unmarried (82% in 2001), and the ratio of abortion to live births s 9 times higher for unmarried women than for married women (261). Use of abortions varies markedly with age. In 2001, 18% of women obtaining abortions were 19 years of age or younger, and 51.3% were 24 years of age or younger. IN 2001, the abortion ratio for women younger than 15 years of age was 744 per 1,000 live births, almost as many abortions as births (Fig. 20.2). The Lowest abortion ratio, 147 per 1,000 live births, is for women aged 30 to 34 years. Legal abortion rates and ratios reached their highest in the early 1980s as they replaced illegal abortions, and both have declined since, especially for the youngest women (Fig. 10.20) (258). ** Sacheen Carr-Ellis, Nathalie Kapp; "10.

Mortality data before 1973 are from the National Center for Health Statistics; data from 1973 through 1985 are from the Centers for Disease Control and The Alan Guttmacher Institute. Trends in serious abortion-related complications between 1970 and 1990 are based on data from the Joint Program for the Study of Abortion and from the National Abortion Federation. Deaths from illegally induced abortion declined between 1940 and 1972 in part because of the introduction of antibiotics to manage sepsis and the widespread use of effective contraceptives. Deaths from legal abortion declined fivefold between 1973 and 1985 (from 3.3 deaths to 0.4 death per 100 000 procedures), reflecting increased physician education and skills, improvements in medical technology, and, notably, the earlier termination of pregnancy. The risk of death from legal abortion is higher among minority women and women over the age of 35 years, and increases with gestational age. Legal-abortion mortality between 1979 and 1985 was 0.6 death per 100 000 procedures, more than 10 times lower than the 9.1 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births between 1979 and 1986. Serious complications from legal abortion are rare. Most women who have a single abortion with vacuum aspiration experience few if any subsequent problems getting pregnant or having healthy children. Less is known about the effects of multiple abortions on future fecundity. Adverse emotional reactions to abortion are rare; most women experience relief and reduced depression and distress. ** Coble, Yank D. (1992).

In 2008, 1.2 million abortions occurred in the United States, of which 6.2% took place between 13 weeks of gestation and 15 weeks of gestation, and 4.0% took place at 16 weeks of gestation or later. Only 1.3% of abortions are performed at 21 weeks of gestation or later. The proportion of abortions performed in the second trimester, usually defined as between 13 weeks of gestation and 26 weeks of gestation (as calculated from the last menstrual period), has remained stable during the past two decades. The purpose of this document is to provide evidence-based guidelines for the medical and surgical methods of second-trimester termination as well as for the management of associated complications. ** Committee on Practice Bulletins-Gynecology; Steinauer, Jody; Jackson, Andrea; Grossman, Daniel (June 2013).

In total, various states in the union enacted 334 abortion restrictions from 2011 to July 2016, accounting for 30% of all abortion restrictions since the legalization of abortion in 1973. Data confirm, however, that more liberal abortion laws do not increase the number of abortions, but instead greatly decrease the number of abortion-related deaths. Several countries including Romania, South Africa and Nepal have seen dramatic decreases in maternal mortality after liberalization of abortion laws, without an increase in the total number of abortions. In the United States, abortions are incredibly safe with very low rates of complications and a mortality rate of 0.7 per 100 000 women. With increasing abortion restrictions, maternal mortality in the United States can be expected to rise over the coming years, as has been observed in Texas recently. ** Conti, Jennifer A.; Brant, Ashley R.; Shumaker, Heather D.; Reeves, Matthew F.

In states which allowed emergency contraceptives without a prescription prior to the FDA's move earlier this year, the abortion rate dropped by over 1/3. Some 70% or 42 million American women today of reproductive age are sexually active and do not want to become pregnant. Only 5% of women aged 15-44 in the U.S. use no contraception during sex and they account for 50% of the nation's abortions. ** Cosgrove, Terry, [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/socalled-prolifers-should_b_69729 "So-Called Pro-Lifers Should Stop Promoting Abortion"], ''The Huffington Post'', (October 24, 2007). * While [[mental health]] advocates have had to fight to have mental illness treated on a par with physical illness in the insurance context, parity between physical and mental health has been a central feature of abortion jurisprudence for almost 30 years (TGR, Vol. 1, No. 6, December 1998). Under Roe v. Wade, women have a constitutional right to choose an abortion, but after the fetus reaches viability, states may restrict or even prohibit abortion except when necessary to protect a woman's life or health. Roe's companion case, Doe v. Bolton, clarified that "health" must be broadly defined to include both physical and mental health concerns: "Medical judgment may be exercised in the light of all the factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age—relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health." <br> In light of these rulings, any attempt to qualify the health exception—or, more specifically, to exclude mental health—would appear to conflict directly with the current state of constitutional law. The health exception, however, has long been a target of abortion foes, who claim it is so broad as to allow women to obtain "late" abortions for any reason. In fact, a 1996 ad sponsored by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops claims that the health exception can be defined "as just about anything," including a psychological crisis caused when a teenager realizes that she "won't fit into a prom dress" or "hates being 'fat.'" ** Dailard, Cynthia (June 1999).

FRANKLIN(2) (1979), the Supreme Court made clear that viability is a medical determination, which varies with each pregnancy, and that it is the responsibility of the attending physician to make that determination. <br> These principles are embodied in the laws of most states. Forty states have enacted legislation severely limiting abortions after fetal viability. Laws in 32 states limit abortions after viability to cases in which the woman's life at serious risk or her health is endangered, although five of the 32 also permit abortions in cases of fetal defect. Laws in seven states permit abortions after viability only when the woman's life is endangered; California is the only state where laws ban late abortions for any reason. ** Democratic Underground, [https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5758875 "Fetal Viability And Late-Term Abortion: The Facts And The Law"]. www.democraticunderground.com.

Severe fetal defects often are not diagnosed until late in pregnancy. Amniocentesis, which can be used to diagnose hundreds of these serious fetal conditions, may not produce results until after 20 weeks of gestation. Consequently, locating a physician who will perform the abortion, making travel arrangements, and securing the necessary funds may be a time-consuming process. <br> Other tragic circumstances sometimes turn a wanted pregnancy into a potential medical disaster. In some cases, a preexisting medical condition, such as heart or kidney disease, may be so severely exacerbated by pregnancy that the woman's life is threatened. In other cases, a pregnant woman who had thought she was completely healthy may be diagnosed with a serious medical condition such as breast cancer. In these cases, an abortion becomes medically indicated, since continuing the pregnancy would make treatment impossible. In still other cases, pregnancy itself may cause some dangerous conditions, such as preeclampsia -- which do not become severe until late in pregnancy. <br> In addition to abortions for medical indications such as these, abortions after viability also are sought by a very small number of women in extremely difficult life situations, such as very young girls who conceal their pregnancies or who may be victims of incest; women who abuse alcohol or other drugs; or women who suffer severe mental or emotional impairments. ** Democratic Underground, [https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5758875 "Fetal Viability And Late-Term Abortion: The Facts And The Law"]. www.democraticunderground.com.

Pro-choice activists, media pundits, and pro-choice politicians typically discuss these tactics in terms of personal acts of harassment, completely devoid of any political implications. When explaining the magnitude of anti-abortion activity at clinics, pro-choice activists contextualize the debate as a question of women’s rights: the pro-life movement does not believe in a woman’s right to choose. Conversely, pro-life activists see their unconventional activities at clinics as stemming from their belief that abortion is murder and they are simply trying to prevent the wholesale slaughter of innocent children.

About 70% of women surveyed believed legal abortion should be available for any woman who wants 1, but only 1/3 believed abortion to be morally justified under all circumstances. Only a minority believed that abortion was wrong under the most commonly given reasons for abortion, and a substantial majority believed it is justified for reasons of health or in cases of rape or incest or a defective fetus. Because there was no single circumstance among the 10 choices which were held to be immoral by a majority of the women, a legal restriction which would not violate the consciences of a majority of women would be difficult to construct. While opponents of abortion are more likely than supporters to support political candidates solely on the abortion issue, supporters so far outnumber opponents that single issue voters are twice as likely to be prochoice than antiabortion. Little differences were found among Catholics and non Catholics in the proportions that support legal abortions, although Catholics were more likely to have moral reservations. Strongest support for legal abortion was found among women who had had abortions, blacks, and from women who attend religious services less than once a month. Majorities in opposition to legal abortions were found in none of the subgroups. Comparison with surveys of abortion providers showed that the truthfulness with which women reported their abortion experience in these polls was greater among younger women: 80% and 60% of women under age 25 reported truthfully, while 32% and 53% of those aged 25-44 underreported abortion experience. Among other findings of the polls: at least 4 million US women now living have had illegal abortions; Catholic and Protestant women are about as likely to obtain an abortion; women who attend religious services regularly are relatively less likely to obtain them; older women of higher socioeconomic status were more likely to have obtained an abortion during the period when they were illegal; the overwhelming majority of women who had abortions believed it to have been right to do so and that they are better off for having done so. ** Henshaw SK, Martire G.

Unmarried cohabiting women are nine times as likely as married women living with their husbands to have an abortion, and separated women are also at high risk. Other characteristics associated with an above-average likelihood of abortion are current school enrollment, current employment, low income, Medicaid coverage, intention to have no more children and residence in a metropolitan county. Half of all abortion patients in 1987 were practicing contraception during the month in which they conceived, and a substantial proportion of those who were not doing so had stopped using a method only a few months before becoming pregnant.

The legal precedent for the decision was rooted in the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the right to privacy involving medical procedures. <br> Despite opponents’ characterization of the decision, it was not the first time that abortion became a legal procedure in the United States.

The induced ending of a pregnancy before this point did not even have a name–but not because it was uncommon. Women in the 1700s often took drugs to end their unwanted pregnancies. <br> In 1827, though, Illinois passed a law that made the use of abortion drugs punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment. Although other states followed the Illinois example, advertising for “Female Monthly Pills,” as they were known, was still common through the middle of the 19th century. ** History Staff.

And the criminalization of abortion did not result from moral outrage. The roots of the new law came from the newly established physicians’ trade organization, the American Medical Association. Doctors decided that abortion practitioners were unwanted competition and went about eliminating that competition. The Catholic Church joined the doctors in condemning the practice. <br> By the turn of the century, all states had laws against abortion, but for the most part they were rarely enforced and women with money had no problem terminating pregnancies if they wished. It wasn’t until the late 1930s that abortion laws were enforced. Subsequent crackdowns led to a reform movement that succeeded in lifting abortion restrictions in California and New York even before the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. ** History Staff.

Despite these regulations and the fact that the drugs sometimes proved fatal to women, they continued to be advertised and sold. <br> In the late 1850s, the newly established American Medical Association began calling for the criminalization of abortion, partly in an effort to eliminate doctors’ competitors such as midwives and homeopaths. <br> Additionally, some nativists, alarmed by the country’s growing population of immigrants, were anti-abortion because they feared declining birth rates among white, American-born, Protestant women. <br> In 1869, the Catholic Church banned abortion at any stage of pregnancy, while in 1873, Congress passed the Comstock law, which made it illegal to distribute contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs through the U.S. mail.

(Updated: May 15, 2019 Original: Mar 27, 2018) * While American women with the financial means could obtain abortions by traveling to other countries where the procedure was safe and legal, or pay a large fee to a U.S. doctor willing to secretly perform an abortion, those options were out of reach to McCorvey and many other women. <br> As a result, some women resorted to illegal, dangerous, “back-alley” abortions or self-induced abortions. In the 1950s and 1960s, the estimated number of illegal abortions in the United States ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year, according to the Guttmacher Institute. ** History.com Editors, [https://www.history.com/topics/womens-rights/roe-v-wade "Roe v. Wade"]. HISTORY. (Updated: May 15, 2019 Original: Mar 27, 2018) * Recent estimates find that approximately 1.29 million abortions were performed in the United States in 2003, a 2% decrease from 1.31 million in 2000. Each year in the United States, 2% of women of reproductive age (15 to 44 years) terminate a pregnancy legally. Given the current rate, it is estimated that over one third of women in the United States will have had an abortion by age 45. The abortion rate in 2000 was about 21.3 per 1,000 women. This rate has decreased from 27.4 abortions per 1,000 women in 1990. While nearly all women in the United States have used some form of contraceptive at some point in their lives and contraceptive use has increased considerably since the legalization of abortion, about half of the 6 million pregnancies occurring each year are reportedly unplanned. Roughly half of these unplanned pregnancies, one in five pregnancies overall, are terminated by induced abortion. Women who opt for abortion tend to be never married, in their 20s, live below the federal poverty level, and are mothers of at least one child. Over half of women who have had an abortion used some form of contraception during the month that they became pregnant. Since legalization in 1973, abortion in the United States has become very sage. Yet, worldwide, 19 of the 46 million abortions performed annually are done so illegally. Illegal abortion remains very unsafe and account for some 68,000 deaths globally each year. ** Holmquist S, Gilliam M (2008). "Induced abortion". In Gibbs RS, Karlan BY, Haney AF, Nygaard I (eds.).

Since that time, federal and state legislators have proposed or enacted hundreds of pieces of legislation aimed at restricting access to abortion or challenging the Court’s “Roe” decision, making induced abortion the most actively litigated and highly publicized area in medicine. ** Holmquist S, Gilliam M (2008).

Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. p.586, ISBN 978-0-7817-6937-2. * Antiabortion legislation seeks to chip away at access to abortion through a variety of means. The federal so-called “partial-birth abortion” ban of 2003 attempted to abolish certain late-second-trimester abortion procedures, but due to its vague language, it would have further reaching effects; at the time of this writing, a Supreme Court case challenging the ban awaits a decision. A number of states have mandated parental notification or consent before a minor is able to obtain an abortion. In some states, women seeking abortions must undergo a waiting period of at least 24 hours or receive state-sanctioned counseling beforehand; in some cases, this counseling contains ideologically charges or scientifically disputed information that s meant to discourage women from ultimately choosing abortion. A handful of states, most notably South Dakota in 2006, have attempted ot pass bans on almost all abortions with the express purpose of challenging “Roe”. ** Holmquist S, Gilliam M (2008).

As these efforts advanced last year, the Bush Administration distorted the science on this issue to misleadingly portray abortion as a risk factor in breast cancer when there is a scientific consensus that it is not. <br> Until the summer of 2002, the National Cancer Institute posted an analysis on its web site concluding that the current body of scientific evidence does not support the claim that abortions increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer. The analysis explained that after some uncertainty before the mid-1990s, this issue had been resolved by several well-designed studies, the largest of which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1997, finding no link between abortion and breast cancer risk. <br> In November 2002, however, the Bush Administration removed this analysis and posted new information about abortion and breast cancer on the NCI web site. The new fact sheet stated: <br> [T]he possible relationship between abortion and breast cancer has been examined in over thirty published studies since 1957. Some studies have reported statistically significant evidence of an increased risk of breast cancer in women who have had abortions, while others have merely suggested an increased risk. Other studies have found no increase in risk among women who have had an interrupted pregnancy. <br> This new fact sheet erroneously suggested that whether abortion caused breast cancer was an open question with studies of equal weight supporting both sides. The New York Times called the NCI’s new statement “an egregious distortion of the evidence.” According to the director of epidemiology research for the American Cancer Society, “This issue has been resolved scientifically . . . . This is essentially a political debate.” <br> After members of Congress protested the change, NCI convened a three-day conference of experts on abortion and breast cancer. Participants reviewed all existing population-based, clinical, and animal data available, and concluded that “[i]nduced abortion is not associated with an increase in breast cancer risk,” ranking this conclusion as “well-established.” On March 21, 2003, the NCI web site was updated to reflect this conclusion. ** [https://web.archive.org/web/20091104194534/http:/oversight.house.gov/features/politics_and_science/example_breast_cancer.htm "Politics & Science – Investigating the State of Science Under the Bush Administration"].

But this claim has been repeatedly debunked by medical professionals, who explain the term “fetal heartbeat” is misleading. Any activity captured in an early gestation ultrasound is “actually electrical activity, and the sound that you ‘hear’ is actually manufactured by the ultrasound machine,” not a human heartbeat. ** Natasha Ishak, [https://www.vox.com/2022/3/20/22987539/anti-trans-anti-abortion-laws-texas-florida-idaho “State-level Republicans are going all in on extreme anti-trans, anti-abortion laws”], “Vox”, (March 20, 2022) * The political weight behind such measures is relatively new: As recently as 1984, data suggests, a person’s political affiliation was not closely tied to their position on abortion.

In those days, I saw little mind-changing; women had their decision firmly made, usually, and were eager to get on with the abortion. Frequently, they hoped I might do it then and there; women were unaccustomed to being told anything much about what was to be done to us--often the woman’s attitude was, "don't tell me any(more)thing, just get on with it". But we insisted that SHE KNOW; that the abortion was something we were going to be doing together, that this was her decision and she could, should, and must know all about it. ** Johnson, Linnea.

By about 1972, the technique of manual vacuum aspiration was available, and we used it, too, frequently for women six weeks pregnant or less, though curettage always completed those abortions. The aspiration was less uncomfortable but then we felt it was not always entirely reliable when used alone. For women 6-12 weeks pregnant, we always did the D&C. <br> For women 12-16 weeks pregnant, or beyond, labor was induced, most commonly by breaking the amniotic sac with forceps. Both laminaria and luenbach paste, which separate the placenta from the uterine wall, were available during some of those years, but their presence is clinically detectable while a broken amniotic sac, drained fluid, and a dilated os can all be attributed to natural process.

Decreases in abortion were experienced by most subgroups of women. One notable exception was poor women; this group accounted for 42.4% of abortions in 2008, and their abortion rate increased 17.5% between 2000 and 2008 from 44.4 to 52.2 abortions per 1,000. In addition to poor women, abortion rates were highest for women who were cohabiting (52.0 per 1,000), aged 20-24 (39.9 per 1,000), or non-Hispanic African American (40.2 per 1,000). If the 2008 abortion rate prevails, 30.0% of women will have an abortion by age 45. <br> Conclusion: Abortion is becoming increasingly concentrated among poor women, and restrictions on abortion disproportionately affect this population. ** Jones, Rachel K (June 2011).

The procedure is currently subject to a multitude of federal and state laws and regulations. This situation was not always the case. From the country’s inception up through the first half of the 19th century, abortion prior to “quickening” was legal and largely unregulated in the USA. ** Bonnie Scott Jones, Jennifer Dalven, “Abortion law and policy in the USA” Ch.4 in Paul M, Lichtenberg ES Borgatta L Grimes DA Stubblefield P Creinin (eds) [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Management_of_Unintended_and_Abnormal_Pr/iK7xrRr2p9sC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Management of unintended and abnormal pregnancy: comprehensive abortion care”].

Previous works on the spread of PAS focus on almost exclusively on anti-abortion think tanks and policymakers. Missing from these analyses, however, is an emphasis on the grassroots-level actions undertaken by evangelical crisis pregnancy center (CPC) activists in introducing and circulating PAS claims. The CPC movement introduced PAS claims and provided the fodder for anti-abortion think tanks to construct evidence of pro-life claims. Despite dissent from health professionals and academic researchers, CPC PAS claims successfully diffused into federal and state abortion policy. I draw upon Brown et al.’s social diagnosis framework and Armstrong's five-stage model of diagnosis development to frame this account. ** Kelly, Kimberly (February 2014).[ https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0277-9536(13)00633-3 "The spread of 'Post Abortion Syndrome' as social diagnosis".] ''Social Science & Medicine''. * Much has changed in the twenty-plus years since “Roe”. Although abortion is not illegal it is available in less than 20 percent of the counties in this country. The ban on federal Medicaid funding and the restrictions imposed by many states, including parental consent laws, waiting periods, and mandatory counseling on fetal development, do not make abortion a realistic option for some women and girls. Many of these restrictions stem from the belief that woman are not responsible decision-makers. They follow from ‘Roe”, which codified both the state’s right to regulate abortion and the physician’s responsibility for it. Within the medical profession itself, doctors who perform abortions are stigmatized. To compound these problems of access and attitude, abortion providers are being driven out by the high costs of protecting their clinics, their staffs, and themselves from violent attacks by abortion foes. The situation could hardly be worse for beleaguered clinics. ** Laura Kaplan, Ch.2 “Beyond Sage and Legal: The Lessons of Jane” (1998), in Solinger, Rickie (ed.), [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Abortion_Wars/LBQbVVoXLcEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950–2000”], University of California Press, p.40 * Abortion clinics operate in a siege situation, and that mentality is not conducive to change. But that hostile climate could be used to create a community, a partnership, between clinic staff and the women who seek their services, much as we in Jane were able to use our illegality to build solidarity. An emphasis on health and reproductive education in abortion counseling would give women the tools they need to act responsibly. Training professional staff to respond to each woman as a full person not only benefits women but also makes the practitioners’ work more rewarding and positively affects morale. Substituting responsive care for a reliance on drugs improves health outcomes and women’s emotional recovery. Although we cannot expect provider associations to police their members, they could promote examples of quality care. In major cities, where a variety of abortion services exists, feminists could evaluate these services and make that information available to women. ** Laura Kaplan, Ch.2 “Beyond Sage and Legal: The Lessons of Jane” (1998), in Solinger, Rickie (ed.), [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Abortion_Wars/LBQbVVoXLcEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950–2000”], University of California Press, pp. ISBN 978-0-520-20952-7 “Beyond Safe and Legal”, p.41 * More than 25 years have elapsed since Dr. Bourne, an eminent London obstetrician, was found not guilty after having performed an abortion on a 14-year-old girl who had become pregnant after a particularly brutal rape. In this country no state has specifically legalized an abortion for pregnancy resulting from rape or incest. It is extremely likely, however, that many victims of such crimes have been aborted upon the medical, or more accurately psychiatric, opinion that the operation is necessary to preserve the patient's life. Our society tends to express vigorous condemnation of criminal abortion until confronted with a personally or socially unacceptable pregnancy. ** Amy Kesselman, (1998), in Solinger, Rickie (ed.), [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Abortion_Wars/LBQbVVoXLcEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950–2000”], University of California Press, pp. ISBN 978-0-520-20952-7 “Women Versus Connecticut” Conducting a Statewide Hearing on Abortion", p.42 * A sea change in attitudes toward abortion occurred during the five years before “Roe v Wade”. By 1971 over half the people questioned in opinion polls favored legalizing abortion. Lawyers challenging abortion statutes, who had previously emphasized the effects of unconstitutionally vague language on medical practitioners, began in the early 1970s to argue on behalf of women’s right to decide when to have a child, Organizations that had been working to reform abortion laws changed their goals, strategies, and often their names to reflect the new movement for repeal of all state abortion statutes, and after 1970 state courts began ruling in favor of women’s right to abortion. ** Amy Kesselman, (1998), in Solinger, Rickie (ed.), [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Abortion_Wars/LBQbVVoXLcEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950–2000”], University of California Press, pp. ISBN 978-0-520-20952-7 “Women Versus Connecticut” Conducting a Statewide Hearing on Abortion", p.42 * In 1982, a French pharmaceutical company announced that it had developed a pill that would end a pregnancy if taken within seven weeks of conception. Advocates of reproductive freedom hailed the news, because the pill, known as RU-486, meant that abortions could be induced soon after conception in a doctor's office, without surgery. By the early 1990's, RU-486 was available in France, Britain and Sweden. But protests by antiabortionists were driving its European manufacturers to quit making it, and opponents in the United States helped block its introduction here by threatening to boycott the products of any drug company that sold it. In the face of such intimidation, virtually no American company was willing to supply it in commercial quantities. Since its approval for sale by the Food and Drug Administration last fall, RU-486 has been distributed in the United States by a pharmaceutical company specializing in women's health that gets it from a producer in China. ** Kevles, Daniel J.

The Court found that "abortion is a fundamental right." These conclusions are mistaken. The Court's analysis of "the history of abortion regulation" had a lot of errors and did not consider the state of technology in which abortion evolved. Sir Edward Coke, a 16th and 17th century jurist, said that abortion was a "great misprison." Quickening, the point at which a woman feels life, was used to determine fetal viability. State courts, therefore, viewed "abortion after quickening as common law crime." By the end of 1868, 30 to the then 37 states had passed laws restricting abortion. The Supreme Court said that the 19th century laws were passed to guard the mother's health "against the dangers of unsafe operation." In the 15 months before "Roe," 5 state courts said that their abortion laws were constitutional. They said that this was "intended to protect the lives of unborn children." Therefore, the Court's belief that "the state courts focused on the State's interest in protecting "the health of the mother" was unexplainable. The Court said that in many states the woman couldn't "be prosecuted for self-abortion." 17 states did "incriminate the woman's participation in her own abortion," but the Court did not note this. The Court's premise about the greater hazards of late abortions is mistaken. The states were concerned, in the late 19th century, about whether the attempted abortion caused the death of a child. The "right to an abortion" can only be seen as "fundamental" if it is "implicit" in the "ordered liberty" concept or "deeply rooted" in US tradition and history. "Roe" struck down the abortion laws of all 50 states and should be overturned. ** Linton, P. B. (1989).[ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2690604/ "Roe v.

The American Medical Association (AMA), founded in 1847, argued that abortion was both immoral and dangerous, given the incompetence of many practitioners at that time. According to a number of scholars, the AMA’s drive against abortion formed part of a larger and ultimately successful strategy that sought to put “regular” or university-trained physicians in a position of professional dominance over the wide range of “irregular” clinicians who practiced freely during the first half of the 19th century. <br> What followed was a “century of criminalization” characterized by a widespread culture of illegal abortion provision. Thousands of women died or sustained serious injuries at the hands of the infamous “back alley butchers” of that period, and encountering these victims in hospital emergency rooms became a nearly universal experience for US medical residents. However, safe abortions were available to some women, performed by highly skilled laypersons and physicians with successful mainstream practices who were motivated primarily by the desperate situations of their patients. These “physicians of conscience” were instrumental in convincing their medical colleagues of the necessity to decriminalize abortion. By 1970, the AMA reversed its earlier stance and called for the legalization of abortion. ** Paul, M; Lichtenberg, ES; Borgatta, L; Grimes, DA; Stubblefield, PG; Creinin, MD; Joffe, Carole (2009).

But of nearly 4 million women who have taken the drug since 2000, the FDA said, there were reports of 24 associated deaths as of 2018, including two cases of ectopic pregnancy and several cases of severe sepsis. Those deaths, however, could not be causally linked to the drug with certainty because of the patients' use of other drugs or receipt of medical or surgical treatments, or their co-existing medical conditions and information gaps about their health status, the agency said. ** Sue Liebel in Rebecca Shabad [https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/women-seeking-medication-abortions-face-increasing-state-restrictions-fda-weighs-n1275199 “Women seeking medication abortions face increasing state restrictions as FDA weighs action”], ''NBC News'', (July 31, 2021) * “Storer himself, for example, believed that abortion was indicated where there was fear of transmitting insanity or epilepsy to the offspring. Thus, “physicians agreed that the embryo’s rights were conditional. What was at the core of their movement, therefore, was a ''reallocation'' of social responsibility for assessing the conditional rights of the fetus against the woman’s right to life, both narrowly and broadly defined. From the late nineteenth century until the late 1960s, it was doctors, not women, who held the right to make that assessment.” ** Luker, ''Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood'', p.35 * The latest war on abortion is being fought less over women's bodies than over their minds. In the past few years, under the banner of "a woman's right to know," a number of states have passed laws mandating that women seeking abortions be told that going ahead with the procedure would expose them to mental health risks, including post-traumatic stress and a greater danger of suicide. <br> Such warnings might sound like a good idea. The decision to terminate a pregnancy can be difficult, and some women end up regretting it. It's commendable to help women make an informed choice. But an informed choice requires accurate information. And these laws mandate that women be misled. <br> Rigorous U.S. scientific studies have not substantiated the claim that abortion, compared with its alternatives, causes an increased incidence of mental health problems. The same conclusion was reached in 2008 by an American Psychological Association task force, which I chaired, as well as by an independent team of scholars at Johns Hopkins University. As recently as September, Oregon State University researchers announced the results of a national study showing that teenagers who have an abortion are no more likely to become depressed or to have low self-esteem one year or five years later, compared with their peers who deliver. <br> Even so, the claim that abortion harms women's mental health persists. According to research by the Guttmacher Institute, counseling on the negative psychological effects of abortion is mandatory in Mississippi, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and West Virginia. Promoting this claim is part of a political strategy aimed at dissuading women from terminating a pregnancy and at making abortions difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. It is a strategy that distorts scientific principles, even as it uses the umbrella of scientific research to advance its aims. ** Brenda Major, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/05/AR2010110507322.html "The big lie about abortion and mental health"]. ''Washington Post''. (November 7, 2010) * State lawmakers in Nebraska willfully ignored the difference between correlation and causation in April, when they passed a law requiring that health-care providers inform women seeking abortions if they have any characteristics - such as being poor or having low self-esteem - shown to be related to mental health problems following an abortion. If a woman experiences certain difficulties after an abortion, she can file a civil lawsuit against her physician claiming that she wasn't screened adequately for those characteristics. It's an option sure to discourage doctors from offering the procedure, if they aren't already disinclined. <br> The law ignores the fact that the very characteristics that predispose women to emotional or mental health problems following an abortion also predispose them to postpartum depression if they deliver or to mental health problems in general, even if they do not become pregnant. <br> Following the logic of this purportedly protective law, women wanting to deliver a child should likewise be screened to ascertain that they are not predisposed to poor mental health afterward. ** Brenda Major, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/05/AR2010110507322.html "The big lie about abortion and mental health"].

And the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Unitarian Universalist Association, and Reform and Conservative Judaism, for example, all support abortion rights, in line with most of their adherents. <br> There are, however, cases where the views of a church’s members don’t align with its teachings on abortion.

More than one-third of the 205 million pregnancies that occur annually worldwide are unintended, as are nearly half of all pregnancies in the USA. In contrast to the trend toward liberalization of abortion laws worldwide, women’s reproductive rights in the USA have suffered major setbacks in recent years. The clinic protesters of the 1990s have been joined by pharmacists who refuse to dispense birth control or emergency contraception, the US Supreme Court justice who upheld a federal ban on certain abortion procedures without regard for women’s health, pseudo-scientists who allege that abortion causes long-lasting psychological trauma despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, and a conservative White House administration that has left a legacy of hostility to women’s rights that will take many years to undo. Indeed, these countercurrents embody one of the great moral contradictions of our time: that is, while we have simple, safe, and effective technologies to provide women with the means to control their fertility, millions of women across the globe lack access to family planning services and one woman continues to die every 8 minutes from an unsafe abortion. ** Maurdeen Paul, “Preface” In Paul M, Lichtenberg ES Borgatta L Grimes DA Stubblefield P Creinin (eds) [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Management_of_Unintended_and_Abnormal_Pr/iK7xrRr2p9sC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Management of unintended and abnormal pregnancy: comprehensive abortion care”].

Arizona, like some other states, provided exceptions in limited circumstances, but abortion was otherwise restricted throughout the United States. However, the 1960s also ushered in a change in the public perception of abortion, a change that was conducive to the Supreme Court’s decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton to overturn many state and federal restrictions on abortion. <br> The women’s movement played a big part in that change, as well as a rubella epidemic that raised widespread concern about fetal deformities and strengthened support for therapeutic abortions. However, if there was one person whose story had the biggest impact, it was a Phoenix-area woman named Sherri Finkbine. An abortion she had 50 years ago Saturday reminds us of the importance of keeping abortion safe and legal. ** Matt, [http://advocatesaz.org/2012/08/15/sherri-finkbines-abortion-its-meaning-50-years-later/ "Sherri Finkbine's Abortion: Its Meaning 50 Years Later"].

Limited by abortion laws and fearing the publicity, hospitals in the United States denied Finkbine abortion services. She asked the Arizona Superior Court for immunity from prosecution if she obtained an abortion in Arizona. At that time, Arizona law allowed abortions only if the mother’s life was in danger. Judge Yale McFate dismissed Finkbine’s case, arguing that there was no legal controversy and that he didn’t have the authority to make a decision on the matter. Finkbine was finally able to obtain an abortion in Sweden on August 18, 1962. It was confirmed at the time of the abortion that her child would have been severely deformed. <br> Highly publicized at the time, Finkbine’s story is seen now as a pivotal moment in the history of abortion laws in the United States. In her book The Pig Farmer’s Daughter and Other Tales of American Justice: Episodes of Racism and Sexism in the Courts from 1865 to the Present, Dr. Mary Frances Berry wrote that Finkbine’s story “helped change public opinion [on abortion]. Fifty-two percent of respondents in a Gallup poll thought she had done the right thing.” Berry adds that by 1965, “most Americans, 77 percent, wanted abortion legalized ‘where the health of the mother is in danger'”; in that same year, The New York Times called for reform of abortion laws. <br> Dr. Lee Epstein, a professor of law and political science at the University of Southern California, wrote that “Finkbine’s situation evoked sympathetic reactions from various organizations and in essence, led to the creation of an American abortion reform movement.” ** Matt, [http://advocatesaz.org/2012/08/15/sherri-finkbines-abortion-its-meaning-50-years-later/ "Sherri Finkbine's Abortion: Its Meaning 50 Years Later"].

If states can enact regulations whose sole purpose is to drive up the cost of performing abortions, they eventually would be able to drive all abortion clinics out of business. Perhaps Texas might have required all abortion clinics to be built out of solid gold. <br> And yet, even in a world of 24-karat surgical centers, the Supreme Court could have claimed that Roe and Casey remain good law. States still would be forbidden from writing a law that states explicitly that “no one may perform an abortion.” But those states would still be free to ban abortion as long as they were sufficiently dishonest about what they were up to. ** Ian Millhisser, [https://www.vox.com/22590262/supreme-court-anti-abortion-lawyers”Anti-abortion lawyers are finally being honest about what they want from the Supreme Court”], ''VOX'', (Jul 24, 2021) * Ever since Roe, the Court has held that the state may impose stricter restrictions on abortions later in pregnancy than it can early in the fetus’s development. Roe divided pregnancy up into trimesters, permitting greater regulation of abortion in the latter two-thirds of the pregnancy. Casey abandoned this framework to focus on “viability,” giving the government broader authority over abortion once a fetus can survive outside of the womb. <br> If the Court permits states to impose the same kind of restrictions on pre-viability abortions that those states may currently impose on post-viability abortions, that would severely hobble abortion rights and allow states to forbid most abortions — even if the Court does not explicitly overrule Roe or Casey. ** Ian Millhisser, [https://www.vox.com/22590262/supreme-court-anti-abortion-lawyers”Anti-abortion lawyers are finally being honest about what they want from the Supreme Court”], ''VOX'', (Jul 24, 2021) * The rate declined to 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44 in 2011, the latest year studied, which was well below the 1981 peak of 29.3 per 1,000 and the lowest since 1973 when the rate was 16.3 per 1,000, the study from Guttmacher Institute showed. <br> “With abortion rates falling in almost all states, our study did not find evidence that the national decline in abortions during this period was the result of new state abortion restrictions.

Circumstances that can lead to second-trimester abortion include delays in suspecting and testing for pregnancy, delay in obtaining insurance or other funding, and delay in obtaining referral, as well as difficulties in locating and traveling to a provider. Poverty, lower education level, and having multiple disruptive life events, have been associated with higher rates of seeking second-trimester abortion. In addition, major anatomic or genetic anomalies may be detected in the fetus in the second trimester and women may choose to terminate their pregnancies (47-95%). The identification of major anatomic or genetic anomalies in the fetus through screening and diagnostic testing most commonly occurs in the second trimester, although first-trimester screening and chorionic villus sampling can enable first-trimester diagnosis of aneuploidy. Some obstetric and medical indications for second-trimester termination include preeclampsia and preterm premature rupture of membranes, among other conditions. Additional indications for uterine evacuation in the second trimester are pregnancy failure before 20 weeks of gestation and fetal demise. In 2005, the U.S. fetal mortality rate was 6.22 fetal deaths at 20 weeks of gestation or more per 1,000 live births and fetal deaths, and this rate was higher for teenagers; women aged 35 years and older; and among non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and American Indian or Alaska Native women. ** [https://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/Citation/2013/06000/Practice_Bulletin_No__135__Second_Trimester.42.aspx "Practice Bulletin No. 135: Second-Trimester Abortion"].

Prolife forces, the advocates of the Human Life Amendment, were unable to secure more than a committee hearing from the Senate and not even that from the House of Representatives. Undeterred, they turned their attention to the prospective presidential candidates as the 1976 campaign drew near. <br> Jimmy Carter, former governor of Georgia, shed the status of a dark horse regional candidate by virtue of his showing the Iowa primary in which he succeeded in identifying himself with the pro-life cause. Thereafter he had to exercise considerable ingenuity obscuring his position on the Human Life Amendment, a proposal he could not endorse without forfeiting the hope of nomination by a Democratic National Convention. In an editorial the Jesuit weekly ‘’America’’ accused Cater of “indifference” to the issue of abortion manifested by a “response . . .

Before 1800, no statutes addressed the subject of abortion. The first antiabortion legislation appeared in the 1820s; the preservation of pregnant women's health was the motivating force. During this time, the mortality rate from abortion was high, while the mortality rate from childbirth was less than 3%. By 1900, abortion in the United States at any time during pregnancy was a crime, with the exception of therapeutic abortion performed to save the mother's life. <br> During the 1950s, the practice of medicine came under increasing scrutiny, and guidelines were set to define the indications for therapeutic abortion. The guidelines allowed therapeutic abortion if (1) pregnancy would "gravely impair the physical and mental health of the mother," (2) the child born was likely to have "grave physical and mental defects," or (3) the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest (Mcfarlane, 1993). In the United States, the legalization of abortion by Roe v Wade in 1973 upheld the fundamental right of a woman to determine whether to continue her pregnancy. ** Roche, Natalie E.

Evidence of abortion dates back to the beginnings of recorded history. But the numbers of abortions have waxed and waned in response to the availability of contraceptives and social circumstances that encouraged or discouraged childbearing. During the Great Depression, when childbearing was unthinkable for many, abortions skyrocketed. One large study found that white middle-class married women aborted one in every four pregnancies in the 1930s the number dropped during World War II, when birth control devices (condoms, diaphragms, vaginal foam) circulated widely, but in the late 1950s, the rate started to climb. <br> For doctors and medical workers, the woman bleeding from a botched abortion was a familiar figure in hospital emergency rooms in the 1950s and ‘60s. Entire wards were given over to patients suffering from septic abortions.

The legislature completed passage of the bill last week and sent it to Governor John A. Burns. A Roman Catholic, Burns said he would not sign it but neither would he veto it. Unsigned, it becomes law in ten days. <br> The Hawaiian law is essentially what many physicians have been urging—so far, unsuccessfully—in several mainland states. It includes only minimal restrictions: the operation must involve a fetus that cannot live outside the womb (usually meaning less than 20 weeks of gestation); it must be performed by a licensed physician or surgeon (M.D. or doctor of osteopathy), and in a Government-licensed hospital. By comparison, the "liberalized" abortion laws passed by ten states, led by Colorado in 1967, require that each abortion must be approved by two or more disinterested physicians. All specify some medical need, such as the mother's physical or mental health, or a likelihood that the baby will be defective. Britain is somewhat more lenient than these states, but still stipulates pre-operation approval by more than one doctor.

Any woman over 20 can have one for the asking if she can find a doctor willing to perform it. ** [https://web.archive.org/web/20101201211449/http:/www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,878789,00.html "Medicine: Abortion on Request"].

Wade, the Supreme Court decision has been getting decidedly ambivalent coverage in the press. In today’s paper, New York Times columnist Gail Collins puzzles over Americans’ discomfort with the issue of abortion, emphasizing their contradictory responses to questions about abortion on public opinion surveys: <br> Gallup polls suggest support for abortion rights is fading, particularly among young Americans, and that more people now regard themselves as “pro-life” than “pro-choice.” On the other hand…the polls depend on the question. According to the Quinnipiac poll, if you ask Americans whether they agree with the Roe decision, nearly two-thirds say yes. <br> This apparent incongruity is thrown into even starker relief in a 2011 PRRI survey, which allowed respondents to identify as both “pro-life” and “pro-choice.” The results showed that these labels don’t encompass the complexity of Americans’ attitudes toward abortion: 7-in-10 Americans said that “pro-choice” describes them somewhat or very well, while nearly two-thirds said the same of the “pro-life” label. Fully 43% of respondents identified as both “pro-choice” and “pro-life.” ** Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux, [https://www.prri.org/spotlight/moving-beyond-pro-choice-and-pro-life/ "Moving Beyond "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life" - PRRI"]. (01.10.2013) * How to explain this contradiction? In the survey, a majority of respondents reported that abortion should be legal, but a similar number also agreed that it was immoral. Nearly 6-in-10 (58%) also agreed that at least some health care professionals in their community should provide legal abortions. And Americans’ perspectives on when abortion should be permissible vary widely: strong majorities agree that a woman should be able to obtain a legal abortion if the women’s physical health (86%) or mental health (74%) is seriously endangered by the pregnancy, if she became pregnant as the result of rape (79%), or if there is a strong chance of defect in the baby (66%). They are decidedly more divided on other circumstances, as the accompanying chart shows. <br> Support for legal abortion hasn’t wavered much over the past four decades, but it also hasn’t increased. Compare this to the dramatic shift in public opinion on same-sex marriage over the past ten years, and recent claims that “pro-choice” advocates are losing the war over abortion start to make sense. On the other hand, as Collins, who is herself pro-choice, points out, Americans continue to reject extreme positions on abortion at the ballot box. The doomed Senate campaigns of Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock serve as blunt reminders for public officials who take such stands. <br> Analyzing Americans’ perspectives on abortion inevitably lead to contradictions, and we’re frequently distracted by allegiance to the “pro-choice” and “pro-life” labels. If the polling data shows us anything, it’s that Americans’ complex attitudes toward abortion can’t be answered in one question. Maybe it’s time to stop trying. ** Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux, [https://www.prri.org/spotlight/moving-beyond-pro-choice-and-pro-life/ "Moving Beyond "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life" - PRRI"]. (01.10.2013) * Most respondents to a survey of abortion patients in 1987 said that more than one factor had contributed to their decision to have an abortion; the mean number of reasons was nearly four. Three-quarters said that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities, about two-thirds said they could not afford to have a child and half said they did not want to be a single parent or had relationship problems. A multivariate analysis showed young teenagers to be 32 percent more likely than women 18 or over to say they were not mature enough to raise a child and 19 percent more likely to say their parents wanted them to have an abortion. Unmarried women were 17 percent more likely than currently married women to choose abortion to prevent others from knowing they had had sex or became pregnant. Of women who had an abortion at 16 or more weeks' gestation, 71 percent attributed their delay to not having realized they were pregnant or not having known soon enough the actual gestation of their pregnancy. Almost half were delayed because of trouble in arranging the abortion, usually because they needed time to raise money. One-third did not have an abortion earlier because they were afraid to tell their partner or parents that they were pregnant. A multivariate analysis revealed that respondents under age 18 were 39 percent more likely than older women to have delayed because they were afraid to tell their parents or partner. ** Torres, Aida; Forrest, Jacqueline Darroch (July–August 1988).

The Lubbock City Council said it was unconstitutional when the seven members unanimously voted it down. It’s on the ballot by way of a citizen-led petition.

Even though Gutiérrez chose to have a medication abortion (“I didn’t want a bunch of people in my crotch”), they were still forced to undergo two trans-vaginal ultrasounds before obtaining the abortion pill. <br> “I felt very, very much alone,” Gutiérrez told HuffPost. “I didn’t have any frame of reference for what an abortion would be like, period. Not to mention what an abortion would be like as a nonbinary person.” <br> Although Gutiérrez went to Planned Parenthood, they were constantly misgendered and there was no option for preferred pronouns or name on the intake form. ** Vagianos, Alanna, [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/women-arent-the-only-people-who-get-abortions_n_5cf55540e4b0e346ce8286d3 "Women Aren't The Only People Who Get Abortions"], ''HuffPost'', (2019-06-06). * Make no mistake: The abortion bans are absolutely an attack on cis women. It’s part of a larger war on women that’s been raging for decades, and it’s deeply rooted in misogyny and sexism. But these bans also affect transgender, intersex and other gender-nonconforming people. <br> Cazembe Murphy Jackson, a transgender man, said his abortion experience was similar to Gutiérrez’s. Jackson was raped his junior year in college and, six weeks later, had to take out a loan to get an abortion at a Planned Parenthood in Texas. <br> “It was awkward because people were not competent around trans masculine folks getting abortions.

The 1973 Supreme Court ruling on ''Roe v. Wade'' has plunged this county into what seems to be an endless-and nearly hopeless-polarization of extreme positions such that the American public has begun to lose confidence that any moral middle ground can be found. Many in society are numbed by the frequent revision of abortion laws at the federal and state levels, congressional proposals to prevent legal constraints on abortion, Republican executive attempts to establish “gag rules,” and the latter’s recent reversal by President Clinton. We are told in nearly every survey that a majority of the American people believes that the Supreme Court went too far when it granted a Fourteenth Amendment right to abortion. The abortion of 1.6 million fetuses each year becomes even more complex and debatable when public funds are used to finance these medical procedures. ** [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Contemporary_Issues_in_Bioethics/-_EkrjUVTGMC?hl=en&gbpv=1 “Contemporary Issues in Bioethics a Catholic Perspective”], James J.

Public opinion polls showed that Republican voters were, on average, more pro-choice than their Democratic counterparts, a view that the convention delegates shared; fewer than 40 percent of the delegates considered themselves pro-life.1 The chair of the Republican National Committee, Mary Louise Smith, supported abortion rights, as did First Lady Betty Ford, who declared Roe v. Wade a “great, great decision.” Likewise, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, who had taken a leading role in the fight for abortion rights in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was solidly pro-choice. Even some of the party's conservatives, such as Senator Barry Goldwater, supported abortion rights. But in spite of the Republican Party's pro-choice leadership, the GOP adopted a platform in 1976 that promised an antiabortion constitutional amendment. The party's leadership viewed the measure as a temporary political ploy that would increase the GOP's appeal among traditionally Democratic Catholics, but the platform statement instead became a rallying cry for social conservatives who used the plank to build a religiously based coalition in the GOP and drive out many of the pro-choice Republicans who had initially adopted the platform. By 2009, only 26 percent of Republicans were pro-choice. ** Williams, Daniel (January 1, 2011).

At the time of the New Deal, abortion was illegal throughout the nation except when it was necessary to save a woman’s life, and the sale of contraception was still illegal in some states. Although the laws against abortion and contraception had been passed in the late nineteenth century, long before the rise of New Deal liberalism, Catholics viewed this legislation as evidence of a concern for human life that they thought accorded well with the principles of the New Deal social welfare state. Thus, when a few non-Catholic doctors began calling for the liberalization of abortion laws in the 1930s, and when a much larger number of Protestants and Jews advocated the repeal of the laws against birth control, Catholics reacted against both campaigns by appealing to the values of New Deal liberalism. ** Daniel K. Williams, [https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/6/2/451/htm “The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause”], Religions 2015, 6(2), 451-475, “The Liberal Origins of the Pro-Life Cause”; (Received: 25 February 2015 / Revised: 2 April 2015 / Accepted: 3 April 2015 / Published: 16 April 2015) * Because the initial abortion law liberalization campaigns of the mid-to-late 1960s sought only modest changes in state abortion laws in order to allow abortion in cases of rape and incest, suspected fetal deformity, and dangers to the health of the mother, few Protestants—and even fewer evangelicals—joined the right-to-life campaign to lobby against these early liberalization proposals. Having recently rejected the Catholic position on contraception (evangelicals had once opposed birth control, but they generally accepted it after the early 1960s), they were reluctant to endorse a Catholic-led antiabortion campaign that seemed to rely on the same natural-law arguments that Catholics had used against contraceptives. ** Daniel K. Williams, [https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/6/2/451/htm “The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause”], Religions 2015, 6(2), 451-475, “Why Evangelicals Became Concerned about Abortion”; (Received: 25 February 2015 / Revised: 2 April 2015 / Accepted: 3 April 2015 / Published: 16 April 2015) * When abortion law reformers ceased calling for a modest liberalization of existing abortion laws and began demanding a repeal of almost all restrictions on abortion, some evangelicals reacted in horror and decided that the right-to-life movement was worthy of more consideration than they had initially thought. The removal of almost all legal restrictions on first and second-trimester abortions in New York in 1970 was particularly troubling, since it quickly led to nearly 200,000 legal abortions per year in New York’s hospitals. Two months after the enactment of New York’s new abortion policy, Christianity Today published an editorial titled, “War on the Womb,” which argued, for the first time, that human personhood probably began “at the very moment or very soon after the sperm and egg meet” [97]. In previous editorials, Christianity Today, like other evangelical magazines, had avoided taking the Catholic position that human life began at conception, but its outrage over “abortion on demand” pushed it closer to the Catholic view. The magazine no longer published editorials endorsing abortion in exceptional circumstances. In 1971, it encouraged readers to join right-to-life organizations—even though these organizations, at the time, were overwhelmingly Catholic. ** Daniel K.

Antonia Biggs, and Daniel Grossman authored an editorial in BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health exploring the potential for clinicians to provide medication abortion pills to patients before they are pregnant, a model called “advance provision.” Doing so would enable patients to have the pills on hand when necessary, enabling earlier access to care. <br> The authors believe the model holds potential and merits further study—particularly considering the United States’ current political environment. The model would effectively shorten the time between the decision to have an abortion and obtaining care to zero days. * The authors note that state legislatures have implemented restrictions, including Texas’ recent SB 8, that have increased the distance to the nearest provider for many people, sometimes requiring hundreds of miles of travel. Hurdles posed by travel are often compounded by additional concerns, such as childcare, job obligations, and mandatory waiting periods. These, in turn, lengthen the delay between a patient’s initial need for an abortion and their treatment. But even in settings where there is good access to care in the United States, there is inevitably some time between the first call to the clinic and the in-person appointment to obtain medication abortion. <br> The authors outline a potential approach to the advance provision model, with clinicians screening patients for some contraindications to medication abortion prior to pregnancy in addition to providing any necessary education. The research team sees advance provision as a “complete care model,” which would also include access to necessary follow-up care in case of complications, ongoing pregnancy, or incomplete abortion. * At the same time, the researchers acknowledge possible challenges with the model, including self-administration at inappropriate times and medication diversion. It is unlikely, too, that advance provision could be adopted in all U.S. states. <br> Still, studies on its safety and how patients can use the medications with limited clinician oversight could provide contributory evidence toward an eventual move toward over-the-counter availability of mifepristone and misoprostol for medication abortion. * Ehrenreich, Biggs, and Grossman write: <br> "While a future landscape of medication abortion may include telemedicine and mail-order pharmacy dispensing, advance provision may be a preferable option for those who would continue to face barriers to care, including those travelling to areas with limited options for safe abortion." === "The Right to Choose at 25: Looking Back and Ahead" === <small> [https://www.aclu.org/other/right-choose-25-looking-back-and-ahead?redirect=right-choose-25-looking-back-and-ahead "The Right to Choose at 25: Looking Back and Ahead"]. www.aclu.org.

Two days later, a New York Times editorial predicted that the decisions offered "a sound foundation for final and reasonable resolution" of the abortion debate. Yet, in fact, the struggle that had resulted in the Supreme Court victories was far from over. Few in 1973 could have anticipated how explosive the issue of abortion would become and how difficult the right would be to retain. Nor could anyone then have known how much the availability of safe legal abortion would contribute to women's social, economic, and political advancement in the next quarter of a century. * Abortion was not, in fact, illegal in most states until the second half of the nineteenth century. Before then, medical experts and other commentators believed that abortion was commonly sought and widely available. By their estimates, there was one abortion for every four live births. <br> But from the mid-nineteenth century, opposition to abortion began to emerge from several directions. Physicians charged their competitors -- mid- wives and folk healers -- with performing too frequent and unsafe abortions; the newly formed professional organizations of physicians sought criminal bans. A vocal group of native-born, white Americans condemned abortion as "race suicide" because it lowered their birth rate at a time when they feared being outnumbered by immigrants. Still others, reacting to the new movement for women's suffrage and other rights, worried that continuing access to abortion would permit women to stray from their traditional roles as wives and mothers. As a result of these converging sentiments, by the end of the century every state had enacted a law criminalizing abortion. Most made an exception only for abortions undertaken to preserve a woman's life. <br> These laws did not end abortion but merely sent it underground. The unsafe and unsanitary practice of illegal abortion maimed and killed thousands of women. Finally, in the 1960s, an outcry arose to make abortion legal again. The outcry came from doctors, legal reformers, clergy, and women themselves. The ACLU was in the forefront of this movement. * Led into the struggle by board members like Dorothy Kenyon, a feminist lawyer and judge, the ACLU was the first organization to call for a woman's right to choose abortion. Kenyon began pressing the issue as early as 1958, and she persisted until 1967, when the board affirmed "the right of a woman to have an abortion." She also brought the issue to the public, appearing on television talk shows and in print, where she called for an end to "cruel and unconstitutional abortion laws." <br> In 1965, the ACLU filed a friend-of-the-court brief in a landmark case that paved the way for the legalization of abortion. That case, Griswold v. Connecticut, challenged Connecticut's ban on the prescription, sale, or use of contraceptives, even for married couples. In a major legal breakthrough, the Supreme Court decided that restrictions on birth control violated the right to privacy protected by the Constitution. * Griswold greatly encouraged the activists who were waging a two-pronged campaign to legalize abortion. On one front, doctors, lawyers, clergy, and women called for the reform or repeal of state abortion laws. In the mid-1960s, the New York Civil Liberties Union helped organize a campaign to repeal New York's abortion law. In 1970, New York, Hawaii, Alaska, and Washington became the first states to repeal their abortion laws, making abortion more widely available, although some restrictions remained in effect in all four states. <br> On a second front, legal reformers brought test cases against criminal abortion laws in federal and state courts all over the nation, in the hope that one case would reach the Supreme Court. In 1971, the high court issued its first decision about abortion in U.S. v. Vuitch, a case argued by the ACLU's general counsel, Norman Dorsen. Police had arrested Dr. Milan Vuitch in Washington, D.C., claiming that he had violated the District's law permitting abortions only to preserve a woman's life or health. Dr. Vuitch argued that only a physician, not a prosecutor, could judge when an abortion was necessary to protect a woman's life or health. The Supreme Court did not overturn the statute as Vuitch sought, but it held that the burden of proof should be on a prosecutor who brought charges, not on a doctor. The Court also concluded that "health" should be understood to include considerations of psychological as well as physical well-being. * The Supreme Court's decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton had nationwide impact. After the Court ruled the Texas and Georgia abortion laws unconstitutional, no other states could enforce similarly restrictive laws. When the Court made its landmark rulings, it was in step with public opinion. Public attitudes had shifted as a result of the decade-long campaign to legalize abortion. In 1968, only 15 percent of Americans favored liberalizing abortion laws; by 1972, 64 percent did. * The legalization of abortion has dramatically improved women's health. Abortion services moved from the back alleys into hygienic facilities staffed by health professionals. High-quality training, the ability of professionals openly to share their expertise with one another, and the development of specialized clinics all enhanced the safety of abortion services. In the early part of this century, an estimated 800,000 illegal abortions took place annually, resulting in 8,000 - 17,000 women's deaths each year. Thousands of other women suffered severe consequences short of death, including perforations of the uterus, cervical wounds, serious bleeding, infections, poisoning, shock, and gangrene. After legalization, deaths as a result of abortion greatly declined. In 1991, for example, 11 women died as the result of complications arising in legal abortions. Today, one death occurs in every 167,000 legal abortions, compared with one in every 30,000 in 1973. <br> Once Roe made it possible to obtain safe legal abortions, women have been having abortions earlier in their pregnancies when the health risks are the lowest. In 1973, only 38 percent of abortions were performed at or before eight weeks of pregnancy; in 1997, this percentage has risen to 52, and 89 percent of all abortions occur in the first 12 weeks. Only one percent takes place after 21 weeks. Today, abortion is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures and is ten times safer than carrying a pregnancy to term. * Since the landmark decisions of 1973, the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project and our sister organizations have worked continuously to defend and expand reproductive rights. Our greatest challenge has been to try to assure that the right to choose extends to those whose lack of political power makes them easy targets for lawmakers: low-income women and young women. The Supreme Court held in 1980 that the federal constitution permits the government to withhold Medicaid funds for virtually all abortions, while continuing to fund all other medically necessary services, including prenatal care and childbirth. Yet bans on public funding for abortion rob low-income women of the right to choose by depriving them of the means to exercise their choice. We therefore turned to the state constitutions in an effort to restore low-income women's rights. A case won on state constitutional grounds provides strong protection for choice because it is insulated from federal constitutional review and is therefore unaffected by any erosion of the federal right to choose. Because the ACLU and its allies have succeeded in forestalling or overturning a number of funding bans in key states, 40 percent of Medicaid-eligible women once again have abortion coverage. * In 1997, for the second time, the anti-choice majority in Congress passed the so-called "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act." For the second time, President Clinton vetoed it. Congress is again set to attempt to override the President's veto. <br> By making physicians fearful of performing safe, common methods of abortion, the ban would seriously endanger women's health. * Every year, anti-choice legislators in Congress target the appropriations bills that fund the various agencies of the federal government and attach amendments that largely prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions. As a result, millions of people who rely on the government for their health care have been denied abortion coverage. They include most Medicaid recipients, federal employees and their dependents, military personnel and their dependents, Native American women, federal prisoners, and low-income residents of Washington, D.C. === "Report of the APA Task Force on Mental Health and Abortion" (13 August 2008) === <small> "Report of the APA Task Force on Mental Health and Abortion" (PDF).

Wade, 1973), it continues to generate enormous emotional moral, and legal controversy. Over the last two decades, one aspect of this controversy has focused on the effects of abortion of women’s mental health. Public debate on this issue can be traced to 1987, when then President Ronald Reagan directed then-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop to prepare a Surgeon General’s report on the public health effect (both psychological and physical) of abortion. After conducting a comprehensive review of the scientific literature, Dr. Koon declined to issue a report; instead, he sent a letter to President Reagan on January 9, 1989, in which he concluded that the available research was inadequate to support any scientific findings about the psychological consequences caused by abortion. In subsequent testimony before Congress, Dr. Koop stated that his letter did not focus on the physical health risks of abortion because “obstetricians and gynecologists had long since concluded that the physical sequelae of abortion were no different than those found in women who carried to term or who had never been pregnant”. Dr. Koop also testified that although psychological responses following abortion can be “overwhelming to a given individual,” the psychological risks following abortion were “miniscule” from a public health perspective. ** p.5 * Almost all abortions (92% according to the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth) in the United States are of unintended pregnancies, pregnancies that are not induced for therapeutic reasons. A late term induced abortion of an intended pregnancy may have very different implications for mental health than a first-trimester induced abortion of an unintended pregnancy. ** p.7 * ”How prevalent are mental health problems among women in the United States who have had an abortion?” This question focused attention on the extent to which abortion poses a threat to women’s mental health, i.e., is associated with a clinically significant mental disorder (see Wilmoth et al., 1992 for a discussion of this issue). In order to answer this question, research must have several key characteristics. First, the research must be based on samples of women representative of the women to whom one wants to generalize. Thus, to address whether abortion poses a threat to the mental health of women in the United States requires a study based on a nationally representative sample of women in the United States. Highly selected samples, biased samples, samples with considerable attrition or underreporting, or samples of women in other cultures and social contexts are not appropriate for answering this question. As will be discussed below, sampling problems are a serious concern in abortion research. Second, an adequate answer to the prevalence question also requires a clearly defined and agreed-ipon definition of a “mental health problem” and a valid, reliable, and agreed-upon measurement of that problem. Feelings of sadness or regret with the normal range of emotion are not clearly defined and agreed-upon mental health problems. Mental health outcomes that meet established criteria for clinically significant disorders are. Third, researchers must know the prevalence of the same mental health problem in the general population of U.S. women who share characteristics similar to the abortion group, e.g., women who are of a similar age and demographic profile. Such information is essential for interpreting the significance of findings. For example, if 15% of women in a nationally representative sample who had an abortion were found to meet diagnostic criteria for depression, the meaning of this would be more a cause for concern is the base rate for clinical depression among women in the general population f a similar age and demographic profile was 5% than if it was 25%. ** p.8 * Women obtain abortions for different reasons. The vast majority of abortions are of unintended pregnancies-either mistimed pregnancies that would have been wanted at an earlier or latter date or unwanted pregnancies that were not wanted at that time or at any time in the future. Approximately half of women in the United States will face an unintended pregnancy during their lifetime, and about half of those who unintentionally become pregnancy resolve the pregnancy through abortion. The reasons that women most frequently cite for terminating a pregnancy include not being ready to care for a child (or another child) at that time, financial inability to care for a child, concern for or responsibility to others (especially concerns related to caring for a future child and/or for existing children), desire to avoid single parenthood, relationship problems, and feeling too young or immature to raise a child. Some pregnancies are terminated because they are a consequence of rape or incest. Very few (<1%) women cite coercion from others as a major reason for their abortion. A very small percentage of abortion are of planned and wanted pregnancies. Women who terminate wanted pregnancies typically do so because of fetal anomalies or risks to their own health. ** p.9 * Unwanted pregnancy and abortion do not occur in a social vacuum. The current sociopolitical climate of the United States stigmatizes some women who have pregnancies (e.g., teen mothers) as well as women who have abortions. It also stigmatizes the nurses and physicians who provide abortions. From a sociocultural perspective, social practices and messages that stigmatize women who have abortions may directly contribute to negative psychological experiences post abortion. <br> The psychological implications of stigma are profound. Experimental studies have established that stigmatization can create negative cognitions, emotions, and behavioral reactions that can adversely affect social, psychological, and biological functioning. Effects, and behavioral reactions that can adversely affect social, psychological, and biological functioning. Effects of perceived stigma include cognitive and performance deficits, increased alcohol consumption, social withdrawal and avoidance, increased depression and anxiety, and increased physiological stress responses. Societal stigma is particularly pernicious when it leads to “internalized stigma associated with abortion (e.g., who see themselves as tainted, flawed, or morally deficient) are likely to be particularly vulnerable to later psychological distress. ** pp.11-12 === "Maine expands list of abortion providers" (June 10, 2019) === <small> "Maine expands list of abortion providers".

Janet Mills introduced herself, will go into effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns, which is expected in mid-June. <br> Maine is now set to allow nurse practitioners, physician assistants and certified nurse-midwives to provide abortion medication and perform in-clinic abortions, which typically involve suction. <br> Maine joins other Democrat-led states moving to protect and in some cases expand abortion rights as GOP-led states push tighter restrictions . * “Maine is defending the rights of women and taking a step toward equalizing access to care as other states are seeking to undermine, rollback, or outright eliminate these services,” Mills said. * Maine will be the second state after California with a law allowing non-doctors to perform in-clinic abortions, according to Maine’s Office of Policy and Legal Analysis. Nearly two dozen states, including Vermont and New Hampshire, have expanded their list of abortion-medication providers following court or agency rulings. * Abortion rights groups including Planned Parenthood for years have fought against physician-only laws. This year, groups are trying to strike down the bans in Idaho, Virginia, Maine, Wisconsin and Arizona. <br> Critics said they are concerned that some non-doctors lack the training to handle rare but major complications from abortion procedures, such as hemorrhages. <br> “Expanding who is allowed to perform an abortion does not expand the safety of the procedure,” Republican state Sen. Stacey Guerin has said. <br> But supporters have argued that abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants testified that Maine’s restriction is outdated. === “Thy Kingdom Come” (June 26, 2006) === <small> Randall Herbert Balmer, [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Thy_Kingdom_Come/vlzhyEqbqa8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Thy Kingdom Come”], (June 26, 2006) </small> * Why, then, is the Religious Right, which claims allegiance to the scriptures, not working to outlaw divorce? <br> The answer, I suspect, is that the issue of abortion has served the Religious Right very effectively for more than two decades. Although the Religious Right was slow to pick up on abortion as a political issue, it proved to be a potent one for them during the 1980s, in part because Reagan championed the pro-life cause-despite the fact that as governor of California, he had signed into law a bill legalizing abortion. Reagan kept the antiabortion rhetoric alive throughout his presidency, repeatedly promising an amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw abortion. He never delivered on that promise: nor did his vice president and successor as president, George H.W. Bush, who in 1980 has campaigned against Reagan for his party’s presidential nomination as a pro-choice Republican. Although both men coveted the support of the Religious Right, neither made good on his promise to outlaw abortion. ** Chapter One: Strange Bedfellows, p.11 * The real question for the Religious right and the Republican party is how serious they are about reducing (and even eliminating) abortion itself, especially when everyone acknowledges that legal sanctions will not work. Wouldn’t the energies of the Religious right be more productively directed toward campaigns to encourage abstinence, contraception, and adoption, similar to campaigns directed against smoking or alcohol and spousal abuse? Even better, the Religious Right want to consider the links between abortion rates and the availability of contraception or the economic plight of mothers-to-be facing medical and child-care costs. Surely such initiatives would do more than a legal ban to make abortion rare and unthinkable. The Religious Right might also want to consider the fat that by the time Bill Clinton, a defender of reproductive choice, left office, the abortion rate had fallen to its lowest level since 1974, a year after the ''Roe'' decision. <br> Curiously although the leaders of the Religious Right have been advocating a legal ban on abortion at least since 1980, they have been remarkably silent about the details of their proposals. Will gynecologists be required to report every fertilized egg implanted in the uterus to some government registry so that each pregnancy can be monitored? Which agency would be responsible for such oversight-the federal Bureau of Investigation or some new entity? (Given the Religious Right’s professed aversion to government, the latter option seems unlikely). Will the government require that a law-enforcement official be present at every obstetrics examination, or merely somewhere on the premises? Will it be a federal, state, or local official? What about miscarriages? How will officials determine whether or not a miscarriage occurred naturally? ** pp.19-20 * My party, the Democratic Party, has utterly botched the abortion issue, I’ll not deny that. In their efforts to assert the importance of women’s rights and prerogatives, many Democrats have elevated abortion to an intrinsic entitlement and, in so doing, have refused to acknowledge the moral implications of abortion itself. This imperious position has alienated key constituencies once associated with the Democratic Party, especially Roman Catholics. It has also functioned to marginalize many evangelical voters in the Democratic Party-on that issue alone. ** p.21 === "Supreme Court to review ruling on Louisiana abortion law" (October 4, 2019) === <small> Barnes, Robert (October 4, 2019).

The Washington Post. </small> * The Supreme Court said Friday that it will review a restrictive Louisiana abortion law, providing the first opportunity for a conservative majority reinforced by President Trump’s two appointees to begin reconsidering the court’s abortion rights landscape. <br> In the coming months, the court will examine whether the state’s 2014 law requiring doctors at abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals unduly burdens women’s access to abortion. Practitioners have said the law would force most of Louisiana’s abortion clinics to close, leaving only one doctor eligible to perform the procedure. <br> It is almost identical to a Texas law struck down by the Supreme Court in 2016. Now-retired justice Anthony M. Kennedy joined the court’s four liberals to form a majority in what was its most important endorsement of abortion rights in 25 years. *“The Supreme Court now has a chance in this case to reconsider, reverse, and return Roe v. Wade and the issue of abortion to the American people, which is long overdue,” Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins said in a statement. “States should absolutely have the right to pass their own health and safety standards designed to protect women inside abortion vendors.” * “Access to abortion is hanging by a thread in this country, and this case is what could snap that thread,” Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement. “There’s only one reason the court would not strike down the Louisiana law and that is because Justice Kennedy, who voted to protect abortion access just three years ago, has been replaced with Justice Kavanaugh. This is what we’ve warned about.” * The court’s 2016 decision in the Texas case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, said the admitting-privileges requirement “provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions, and constitutes an ‘undue burden’ on their constitutional right to do so.” <br> Hospitalization after an abortion is rare, all sides agree, and the lack of admitting privileges by the doctor who performed the procedure is not a bar to the woman getting needed medical care. The court’s opinion said there are numerous reasons doctors might not be able to attain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, including the fact that it is so rare for their clients to need hospitalization. * Judge Jerry E. Smith, writing for the majority, said that the court complied with the Supreme Court’s decision in Whole Woman’s Health by taking a painstakingly close look at the details. <br> “Unlike in Texas, the [Louisiana law] does not impose a substantial burden on a large fraction of women,” he concluded. <br> He said that the closing of some clinics in Louisiana, as opposed to Texas, would not dramatically increase driving distances and that it was easier for doctors in Louisiana to procure admitting privileges. He said that “at most, only 30 percent of women” seeking abortions in Louisiana would be affected. * The full 5th Circuit declined to reconsider the panel’s decision, and dissenting judges said their colleagues seemed more intent on giving the Supreme Court a chance to reverse its 2016 ruling than complying with it. <br> “I am unconvinced that any justice of the Supreme Court who decided Whole Woman’s Health would endorse our opinion,” Judge Stephen A. Higginson wrote in his dissent. “The majority would not, and I respectfully suggest that the dissenters might not either.” * “Louisiana has tried everything under the sun to decimate access to abortion care,” said Kathaleen Pittman, clinic administrator at Hope Medical Group, one of the plaintiffs. “The situation here is already dire and this law would be the last straw for most of the remaining clinics. We’re hopeful that the court will recognize how devastating this law would be for women in our state.” * Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) had also asked the court to review the decision. He wants the justices to decide that abortion providers don’t have the legal standing to challenge laws such as the one the Louisiana legislature passed. <br> “The evidence of Louisiana abortion clinics’ poor safety records, inadequate credentialing practices, and questionable efforts to undermine health and safety regulations shows that the abortion clinics’ interests are directly adverse to the interests of Louisiana women,” Landry said in a statement. “Incompetent and unsafe providers should not be allowed to challenge health and safety standards designed to protect women from those very providers.” === "Justice Department sues Texas to block six-week abortion ban" (September 9, 2021) === <small> Barrett, Devlin; Marimow, Ann E.

The Washington Post. </small> * The suit filed by the Justice Department in federal court in Austin asks a judge to “protect the rights that Texas has violated” by declaring the abortion law unconstitutional and issuing an injunction blocking its enforcement. At a news conference, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the ban “is clearly unconstitutional under long-standing Supreme Court precedent.” <br> “This kind of scheme to nullify the Constitution of the United States is one that all Americans, whatever their politics or party, should fear,” said Garland, warning that what he called the “bounty hunter” element of the law may become “a model for action in other areas by other states and with respect to other constitutional rights or judicial precedents.” The U.S. government, Garland added, has a responsibility “to ensure that no state can deprive individuals of their constitutional rights.” * A spokeswoman for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) defended the law and accused the Biden administration of acting for political reasons — to distract Americans from the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. <br> “We are confident that the courts will uphold and protect that right to life,” press secretary Renae Eze said in a statement. * The Biden administration’s suit argues that the Texas law violates the 14th Amendment’s due process clause, saying the measure deprives women in Texas of the right to an abortion and imposes an “undue burden” — and that the Constitution generally takes precedence over state laws. <br> The suit also says the measure interferes with the federal government’s constitutional obligation to provide access to abortion, including in cases of rape or incest, to people in the custody or care of federal agencies or government contractors, including at prisons. * In its 5-to-4 decision last week, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority said abortion providers and civil rights groups had “raised serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law.” But the court allowed the ban to take effect while the legal battle plays out, saying the abortion providers and advocates who had challenged the law could not show they were suing the right people. <br> Their lawsuit targeted state court judges and court clerks, who would have to accept lawsuits alleging violations of the ban for those suits to go forward. The majority said it was premature for the court to step in because it is “unclear whether the named defendants can or will seek to enforce the Texas law.” * Garland said Monday that his agency would do all it could to guarantee access to abortion in Texas. But advocates said the pledge lacked specifics; they urged a direct challenge. <br> Asked Thursday about the intense pressure from Democrats to take action, Garland said the department “does not file lawsuits based on pressure. We carefully evaluated the law and the facts, and this complaint expresses our view of the law and the facts.” <br> The lawsuit seeks to stop not only the state but also private individuals who would bring civil lawsuits to enforce the Texas law. <br> In response, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) tweeted, “Today the Biden Administration sued every individual in Texas” and said Biden should not meddle in a state’s “sovereign rights.” * Steve Vladeck, a constitutional law professor at the University of Texas law school, called the lawsuit “an ambitious and powerful” effort “to protect the constitutional rights of citizens.” The question, he said, is whether citizens who try to enforce the law are “agents of the state and therefore subject to the injunction the government is seeking.” <br> “That’s a very broad request for relief,” said Vladeck, who has been publicly critical of the way the law was designed to avoid judicial review, “but also perhaps necessary given the novel and cynical procedural traps Texas created.” * Biden “is a puppet of the radical abortion agenda, and his DOJ will quickly find that they do not have jurisdiction to stop the Texas Heartbeat Act,” said Elizabeth Graham, vice president of Texas Right to Life. <br> The law is already having an effect. Abortion clinics in Texas say they are abiding by the six-week ban and sending women who are further along in their pregnancies across state lines to seek the procedure. <br> Texas Right to Life, which backed the law, was collecting anonymous tips on its website about potential violations of the law, but so far no lawsuits have been filed against abortion providers in state court. === "U.S. Abortion Rate Hits Lowest Point Since 1973" (February 2, 2014) === <small> Bassett, Laura (February 2, 2014). [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/abortion-rate-_n_4704986 "U.S. Abortion Rate Hits Lowest Point Since 1973"]. Huffington Post. </small> * The U.S. abortion rate dropped significantly from 2008 to 2011 and hit its lowest point since 1973 (the year Roe v. Wade was decided), according to a new report by the Guttmacher Institute. The big drop occurred just prior to an unprecedented wave of state anti-abortion restrictions going into effect. <br> The rate declined to 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women of reproductive age in 2011, a 13 percent drop from 2008. The rate had peaked in 1981 at 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women -- roughly twice the 2011 rate -- and plateaued at about 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women from 2005 to 2008. * Researchers found no evidence that the drop in abortions was related to new legal restrictions on the procedure. The total number of abortion clinics declined only 1 percent between 2008 and 2011, and the number of providers dropped by 4 percent. Rachel Jones, lead author of the study, said the decline had more to do with an increase in contraceptive use. <br> "The decline in abortions coincided with a steep national drop in overall pregnancy and birth rates," she said. "Contraceptive use improved during this period, as more women and couples were using highly effective, long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, such as the IUD. Moreover, the recent recession led many women and couples to want to avoid or delay pregnancy and childbearing.” * According to the latest Guttmacher data, more than half of pregnancies in the United States are unintended, and about 40 percent of unintended pregnancies end in abortion. About three-fourths of women who have abortions say they can't afford a child; three-fourths say having a child would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for other dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner. <br> While the overall abortion rate was declining, the Guttmacher study found that the percentage of medication-induced abortions was increasing relative to surgical abortions among women in their first trimester of pregnancy. Nearly a quarter of nonhospital abortions were early medication procedures in 2011 -- a 6 percent increase from 2008. <br> “Clearly, the availability of medication abortion does not lead women to have more abortions,” said Jones. “However, it has likely helped women obtain abortion care earlier in pregnancy, as evidenced by a shift toward very early abortions.” * State legislatures enacted a record number of anti-abortion laws in 2011, including mandatory waiting periods, mandatory ultrasound laws, strict new building requirements for clinics, gestational limits on abortion and requirements that abortion providers have admitting privileges at local hospitals. The study notes that most of these restrictions were passed in the second half of 2011, and because there is typically a lag between a law's passage and its implementation, they would not have affected the 2011 abortion rate. <br> The Guttmacher study concluded that further research is needed to determine what effect the new laws will have on the abortion rate and access to services. <br> "Although we found no evidence that new abortion restrictions affected abortion incidence or services at the national level during the study period, this does not mean these laws are not problematic," the study authors wrote. "Some of the new regulations undoubtedly made it more difficult, and costly, for facilities to continue to provide services and for women to access them." === "Five men outlaw abortion in a Texas town, declaring a 'sanctuary city for the unborn'" (06/13/2019) === <small> Isaac Stanley-Becker. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06/13/waksom-texas-outlaws-abortion-five-men/ "Five men outlaw abortion in a Texas town, declaring a 'sanctuary city for the unborn'"]. The Washington Post. (06/13/2019) </small> * The municipal prohibition, which plainly contradicts the judgments of the U.S. Supreme Court, joins statewide bans on abortion sweeping the country in the wake of the solidification of a conservative majority on the nation’s top court. In Texas, abortion has already been banned after 20 weeks. Now in the state, a bill awaiting the governor’s signature would require doctors to treat “a child born alive after an abortion,” which happens rarely. * The legislation was modeled on a measure embraced 7 to 1 in March by the city council of Roswell, N.M., which is best known as the site of a purported UFO crash in 1947. Roswell’s move to declare its support for “fetal life” was accompanied by a measure characterizing itself as a “Second Amendment Sanctuary City,” in opposition to legislation advanced by the state legislature that expands background checks for private gun sales. <br> Waskom residents said they were unconcerned by the prospect of a costly legal fight over the abortion measure because, according to local media, “they say God will take care of them.” * City officials said they included exceptions for rape and incest, and cases where the mother’s life is at risk, to force a reckoning with the procedure of abortion itself, preventing a judgment based only on the absence of exceptions. <br> Lobbying for the ordinance was led by Right to Life of East Texas, whose director, Mark Lee Dickson, celebrated the unanimous vote in posts on Facebook. <br> He quoted from the measure, which states that “the Supreme Court erred in Roe v. Wade when it said that pregnant women have a constitutional right to abort their pre-born children.” It further describes the 1973 opinion as a “lawless and illegitimate act of judicial usurpation, which violates the Tenth Amendment by trampling the reserved powers of the States, and denies the people of each State a Republican Form of Government by imposing abortion policy through judicial decree.” * Dickson, who is a pastor at the Baptist Sovereign Love Church in Longview, Tex., added his interpretation of the measure, saying it meant that all organizations that provide abortions or assist others in obtaining the procedure “are now declared to be criminal organizations in Waskom, Texas.” <br> The antiabortion activist has thrown his weight behind some of the most sweeping efforts to outlaw the procedure, including by assigning criminal liability to women, and not just the doctors they seek out to end their pregnancies. <br> In April, he went to Austin to advocate for a bill that would have criminalized abortion without exception, making it possible to convict women who undergo the procedure of homicide, which can carry the death penalty in Texas. The measure, which earned a hearing before the state House Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence, was introduced by state Rep. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican from Arlington, Tex., who argues that the measure is necessary to make women “more personally responsible.” * In a statement on Thursday, the executive director of Naral Pro-Choice Texas, Aimee Arrambide, called the ordinance a “dangerous attempt to undermine Roe v. Wade," and affirmed that, “abortion remains legal in all 50 states.” <br> “We will not be intimidated,” Arrambide pledged. * Before the Tuesday vote, Waskom’s mayor told council members that the city lacked the resources to engage in a lengthy legal battle over the legislation, the instigation of which is the professed aim of the ordinance. <br> “Most likely we will wind up getting sued if this is passed,” the mayor, Jesse Moore, said. “It could go to the Supreme Court.” <br> That prospect would present fiscal challenges for the city, lawmakers acknowledged. <br> “We don’t have the possible millions of dollars that it would take to take it to that level,” said alderman Jimmy Dale Moore, who nevertheless voted for the ordinance. “We can’t pay those kind of attorney’s fees. The city don’t have the money.” <br> Pointing to a member of the crowd gathered to watch the proceedings, the mayor advised, “Save your nickels and pennies,” eliciting chuckles from the public. <br> “We may need them,” he said. === "Texas town bans abortion in all-male council vote" (June 13, 2019) === <small> [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48628224 "Texas town bans abortion in all-male council vote"].

But the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that name is misleading, as what is being detected is "a portion of the foetal tissue that will become the heart as the embryo develops". * According to the Guttmacher Institute, a group that researches sexual and reproductive health, 19 states have laws that could be used to restrict abortion, while 10 states have laws that protect abortion rights. === “The Oxford companion to United States history” (2006) === <small> Boyer, Paul S., ed. (2006). [https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00paul_0/page/3 “The Oxford companion to United States history”]. Oxford: Oxford Univ. Press. </small> * The legal status of abortion in the United States has undergone dramatic shifts but its practice has been consistent. Throughout American history, many women have relied on abortion to control their fertility. Before the mid-nineteenth century, abortion induced prior to quickening (the moment when the pregnant woman feels fetal movement) was a legal and accepted practice, especially for young, unmarried women. Y midcentury, the commercialization of abortion gave greater visibility to its prevalence among married, white, native-born women. This increased visibility coincided with growing agitation by women for fuller inclusion in public life and with increased “immigration of ethnically diverse people, both of which provoked concern about the nation’s changing character. Thus when physicians pursued the criminalization of abortion in an effort to stabilize their professional standing through laws restraining their competitors, especially midwives, their proposals resonated with legislators’ gender, ethnic, and nationalist fears. In the twenty years between 1860 and 1880, with little public debate, every state made abortion illegal, except when performed by a licensed physician to save the life of the pregnant woman. In this same period, federal and state laws also prohibited the distribution of contraceptive information and devices. * At times during the one hundred years when abortion was illegal, police allowed its practice to continue undisturbed, at times it was repressed. Throughout the period, many women continued to procure abortions despite the risks, and juries often refused to convict abortionists, indicating continued public acceptance of the practice. During the 1930s, abortion clinics run by licensed physicians operated quite openly contributing to an estimated 800,000 abortions a year. However, the procedure was still quite risky; induced abortions accounted for 14 percent of maternal mortality. After World War II, hospitals tightened the practice o therapeutic abortion by establishing physician review boards, leading to a dramatic reduction in hospital abortions. Police raids on the illegal clinics that had thrived in the 1930s made abortion even more difficult and dangerous to obtain. Abortion death rates doubled between 1951 and 1962, with the risk falling most heavily on women of color who were four times more likely than white women to die from abortion. * Political challenges to abortion laws were rare before the 1960s. The birth control movement led by Margaret Sanger did not contest abortion restrictions, instead pointing to the high rates of injury and death from criminal abortion as a compelling reason to decriminalize contraception. As repression of abortion increased through the 1950s, leading women to take more desperate risks, physicians and women began to seek reform of abortion laws. By 1973, through legislative and court actions, the abortion reform/repeal movement won changes in nineteen state laws. At the same time, networks were organized to provide women with access to safe and affordable illegal abortions. In California, the Society for Humane Abortion inspected facilities, bargained over fees, and referred thousands of women to clean and inexpensive illegal abortions in Meico. In Chicago, self trained women organized an abortion service called Jane that performed twelve thousand abortions between 1969 and 1973 without a single fatality. These referral networks were part of the resurgent women’s movement, which also pushed beyond reform to seek repeal of abortion laws. They argued that the decision to abort a pregnancy involved the fundamental right of women to control their bodily process. * This activism ended in 1973 with the “Supreme Court’s “Roe v. Wade” landmark decision. Grounded in the 1965 decision “Griswold v. Connecticut”, which had established the right to privacy in contraceptive decision-making, ‘’Roe’’ established a fundamental right to abortion. Under ‘’Roe’’, except to ensure maternal health, stataaes could not restrict abortion before fetal viability. (Viability is the point in pregnancy when the fetus is “capable of meaningful life outside the womb,” roughly the end of the second trimester.) After ‘’Roe’’, the maternal mortality rates dropped by almost one half. * Efforts to undercut ‘’Roe’’ began almost immediately. Small groups opposed to abortion reform blossomed into the “pro life” movement, arguing that abortion violated the fetus’s right to life. Initially led by the American Roman Catholic church, the movement expanded as social conservatives and Protestant fundamentalists (some intent on rebuilding the ‘Republican party after Watergate) took up the issue. Early successful restrictions centered on ending federal funding of abortion for poor women and requiring parental consent and notification lws for teenagers. Outside the courtroom and legislature, organized efforts emerged to disrupt the practice of abortion. Harassment of clinic patients and abortion providers became common. IN the late 1980s and early 1990s, Operation Rescue, led by Randall Terry, blockaded abortion clinics in cities nationwide. The goal of this activity was to publicize the pro-life cause and make abortion difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. Between 1982 and 1998, there were more than 150 bombings and 5 murders associated with anti-abortion activity. * While not recriminalizing abortion, the Supreme Court in 1992 retreated from its holding in ‘’Roe’’. In the Casey v. Planned Parenthood’’ decision, which upheld mandatory waiting periods and state mandated counseling, the Court ruled that the State’s interest in protecting potential life permitted some restrictions on abortion throughout pregnancy, as long as the restrictions did not impose an undue burden on women. Thus, abortion was no longer a fundamental right; the lower standard of “undue burden” gave legislators greater leeway to limit abortion. At the twentieth century ended, abortion remained legal, but practical access was increasingly problematic. Harassment, violence, and restrictions led many hospitals nad practitioners to stop providing abortion. An estimated 83 percent of U.S. counties had no abortion provider. At the same time, however, federal and state laws protecting women’s access to clinics, and the innovative use of anti racketeering laws against organizers of clinic blockades, continue to hinder efforts to stop abortion completely. === “The Church and abortion: a Catholic dissent” (30 September 2010) === <small> O'Brien, George Dennis (30 September 2010).

One should not be deluded, however, into thinking that if abortion were once again before state legislatures, we would be in the same situation legally or socially as in 1973 when ''Roe'' was handed down. The fact that history cannot be simply reversed has been made by various justices in their opinions resisting the overturn of ''Roe''. For more than thirty-five years women have assumed that legalized abortion was possible in the United States. Whether their decisions to have an abortion during that time were moral or wise, the deed was done legally. What would be the social dynamic if abortion were again prohibited? ** p.23 * I do not believe that the question of criminal law can be evaded; specific laws raise further moral issues beyond the immorality of abortion itself. If, after reversing ''Roe'', abortion were to be banned by any means nationally, or, more plausibly, locally in the states, legal penalties would have to be enacted against those who violated the law. What would be an appropriate and effective law? The ultimate “realism” of anti-abortion legislation hinges on the plausibility of solving the lord high executioner’s “object all sublime”: to make the punishment fit the crime. Failure to match crime and punishment undermines law: too harsh a penalty and juries will not convict, too lenient and the crime disappears from public perception and the docket. ** pp.24-25 * Simple realism suggests that even modest anti-abortion laws are unlikely to be enacted in the United States. If two conservative states like South Dakota and Colorado could not muster majorities for anti-abortion statutes, what are the chances in other states? There may be a few states, probably in the so-called Bible belt, that would pass anti-abortion laws in the absence of ''Roe'', but even there it is unlikely that the laws would match the foundational rhetoric of the Catholic oral crusaders. The reason that even conservatives and prudent Catholic bishops pull back from highly punitive law stems from quite appropriate moral assessment that seldom strays into the anti-abortion rhetoric. I will examine these moral assessments in the next chapter, but before I do I want to point out one more reason why abortion should not be the trump card in politics. ** p.32 === "New York Dems Flex Muscles, Pass Reproductive Health Act"].

Wade decision, Senate Democrats passed the Reproductive Health Act, 38-24. Gov. Andrew Cuomo hoped to sign the bill later in the evening, CBS2's Tony Aiello reported. <br> Critics call the legislation a radical over-reach that benefits people who harm pregnant women. <br> All the power in Albany is now in the hands of Democrats and they quickly moved to pass an abortion rights bill. <br> "We're saying here in New York, women's lives matter. We're saying here in New York, women's decisions matter," Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. * [C]ritics say the Reproductive Health Act goes beyond codifying -- to expanding. <br> Timothy Cardinal Dolan spoke about it Tuesday on his radio show. <br> "Any, any, any limit on the unfettered, unquestioned absolute right to abortion, they want none of it," Dolan said. * Provisions in the bill include dropping most restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks, allowing midwives and nurse practitioners to perform abortions and ending criminal charges for harming children in the womb. <br> Livia Abreu of the Bronx lost her baby in a 2018 domestic violence attack. Charges against her ex-boyfriend, Oscar Alvarez, include abortion in the first degree. <br> "The passing of RHA will exonerate him from those charges.

Many states and reporting areas conduct abortion surveillance. CDC compiles the information these reporting areas collect to produce national estimates. CDC’s surveillance system compiles information on legal induced abortions. * Preparation of the Abortion Surveillance report is based on the data available from the states and reporting areas that voluntarily provide this information for a given calendar year. After CDC receives the data, additional time is required to perform the analyses that produce the tables, the figure, and the narrative describing methods and trends. Please view the abstract and methods portion of the most recent Abortion Surveillance report for more information on compilation of the report. * This report is used for many purposes in the field of public health, including to: <br> Evaluate the success of programs aimed at promoting equitable access to patient-centered quality contraceptive services in the United States <br> Calculate pregnancy rates, on the basis of the number of pregnancies ending in abortion, in conjunction with birth data and pregnancy loss estimates <br> Monitor changes in clinical practice patterns related to abortion, such as changes in the types of procedures used and weeks of gestation at the time of abortion <br> Calculate the national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate * In addition to the data available in the annual Abortion Surveillance report, data from 2010 to 2019 are also available for abortions distributed by state/area of residence and state/area of clinical service. These data are consistent with data reported to CDC for each year’s Abortion Surveillance report. No additional data are available for public use. * In 2019, 629,898 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. Among 48 reporting areas with data each year during 2010–2019, in 2019, a total of 625,346 abortions were reported, the abortion rate was 11.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 195 abortions per 1,000 live births. <br> From 2010 to 2019, the number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions decreased 18%, 21%, and 13%, respectively. However, compared with 2018, in 2019, the total number increased 2%, the rate of reported abortions increased by 0.9%, and the abortion ratio increased by 3%. * Similar to previous years, in 2019, women in their twenties accounted for the majority of abortions (56.9%). The majority of abortions in 2019 took place early in gestation: 92.7% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation; a smaller number of abortions (6.2%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (<1.0%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. Early medical abortion is defined as the administration of medications(s) to induce an abortion at ≤9 completed weeks’ gestation, consistent with the current Food and Drug Administration labeling for mifepristone (implemented in 2016). In 2019, 42.3% of all abortions were early medical abortions. Use of early medical abortion increased 10% from 2018 to 2019 and 123% from 2010 to 2019.

The first laws explicitly prohibiting abortion were passed in the late nineteenth century, often restricting abortion to cases where the life of the mother was at risk. As the modern medical profession continued to lay claim to all aspects of women’s reproductive health during the first half of the twentieth century, doctors and hospital review boards became the gatekeepers who decided whether a woman could qualify for a legal “therapeutic” abortion. Very few did. Unplanned pregnancies in turn fed the demand for back-alley abortionists who could charge exorbitant rates and operate under unhealthy, sometimes deadly conditions. <br> Starting in the 1960s, some doctors began to push for the liberalization of abortion laws. The case of Sherri Finkbine, who had to go to Sweden for a legal abortion in 1962 after inadvertently taking a drug (thalidomide) known to cause severe birth defects, helped galvanize public opinion. In the late 1960s feminists joined doctors in the fight, calling not just for reform of abortion laws but for their outright repeal, as represented in the call for “abortion on demand.” By 1972 sixteen states and the District of Columbia had liberalized their laws. * Forty years later, the Supreme Court still affirms women’s fundamental constitutional right to abortion but has allowed a wide range of restrictions and limits to be placed on that right. An abortion is legal, but you may not be able to find a clinic to perform one. That middle ground is remarkably similar to where popular opinion rests: showing support for women’s right to end a pregnancy but also strong unease about the procedure, especially after the first trimester. <br> The polarizing effects of Roe v. Wade were seen almost immediately in the political realm. Feminists hailed the right to abortion as a vital cornerstone of women’s ability to control their reproductive choices and their lives, but the decision galvanized opponents and helped to kill the Equal Rights Amendment. In 1976, the U.S. Congress passed the Hyde Amendment, which prohibited the use of federal funds for Medicaid abortions even if they were medically necessary; the Supreme Court upheld this restriction in 1980. Followers of conservative and fundamental religions, including many women, continued to speak out against abortion as antithetical to their vision of family. Meanwhile, groups such as Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum and Beverly LaHaye’s Concerned Women for America increasingly moved abortion to the forefront of their anti-feminist platform, where it has remained ever since. * In terms of abortion politics, the 1980s were a period of what Sandra Morgen called the Three Rs: retrenchment, Reagan, and Operation Rescue. The general shift in the political climate to the right after the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 stalled the momentum for civil rights and feminism. As part of cutbacks in government spending (spurred by the deficit but really as a way to cut programs Republicans thought the government had no business funding in the first place), healthcare and anti-poverty programs were especially hard hit, with deleterious effects on the provision of reproductive services to the nation’s women, especially poor women. Add to that the founding by Randall Terry of Operation Rescue in 1986, which used violence and intimidation outside abortion clinics to try to keep women from entering. The escalating violence, which included clinic bombings, arson, and the murder of abortion providers, led to the passage of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act in 1994. * As the anti-abortion movement chipped away at access to abortion, in effect making it increasingly difficult to find a legal abortion provider in many parts of the country, supporters of abortion rights found they were fighting battles on many fronts. Susan Faludi’s 1991 bestseller, Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women, detailed the shifting political climate. Organizations such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America intensified their efforts, raising money, lobbying Congress and statehouses, and on occasion, such as the 1989 March for Reproductive Rights, bringing hundreds of thousands of abortion supporters to the nation’s capital. Women of color played an important role in challenging anti-abortion legislation by highlighting its racial and class implications and broadening the movement for reproductive rights into one for reproductive justice. Rather than holding a “March for Choice” in 2004, an energized and diverse group of activists converged in record numbers for the “March for Women’s Lives.” <br> Not surprisingly, these political efforts found more favor with Democratic administrations than Republican. The Clinton administration supported the passage of the clinic access bill and directed the Justice Department to aggressively counter abortion violence. Since Barack Obama took office in 2009, restrictions against embryonic stem cell research have been lifted, the international gag order restricting information about birth control techniques in foreign aid has been dropped, and the “morning-after pill” is more widely available without a prescription, even to teenagers. And yet state legislatures as well as Congress continue to add more and more restrictions on the provision of abortion. The irony is that by imposing increasingly stringent regulations on abortion clinics to bring them practically in line with hospitals, abortion provision has now come almost full circle since the early 1960s, when hospitals were the only places where women could have legal abortions and then only with the permission of a panel of doctors. * There is no end in sight to this polarization. Polls show women holding firm allegiance to both sides of the issue, with support strongest for access to abortion in the first trimester (12 weeks) but declining dramatically after that, even among those who claim to be “pro-choice.” There is also widespread support for abortion in the cases of rape and incest, as well as when the life of the mother is threatened. <br> When the abortion battles are viewed against the backdrop of the revolutionary changes in women’s lives over the past half century, it is clear that many Americans still feel a certain unease about women’s new freedoms, sexual or otherwise. Even though there has been a sea change in attitudes about women’s sexual expression, the ongoing debate over abortion shows that the question of women’s self-determination over their own bodies is far from settled. === “Abortion and Women of Color: The Bigger Picture” (August 6, 2008) === <small> Susan A. Cohen, [https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2008/08/abortion-and-women-color-bigger-picture “Abortion and Women of Color: The Bigger Picture”], ''Guttmacher Policy Review'', Volume 11, Issue 3, (August 6, 2008) </small> * This much is true: In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women. Antiabortion activists, including some African-American pastors, have been waging a campaign around this fact, falsely asserting that the disparity is the result of aggressive marketing by abortion providers to minority communities. * The truth is that behind virtually every abortion is an unintended pregnancy. This applies to all women—black, white, Hispanic, Asian and Native American alike. Not surprisingly, the variation in abortion rates across racial and ethnic groups relates directly to the variation in the unintended pregnancy rates across those same groups. * Abortion rates have been declining in the United States for a quarter of a century, from a high of 29.3 per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in 1981 to an historic low (post-Roe v. Wade) of 19.4 in 2005. The overall number of abortions has been falling too, dropping to 1.2 million in 2005. Currently, about one-third of all abortions are obtained by white women, and 37% are obtained by black women. Latinas comprise a smaller proportion of the women who have abortions, and the rest are obtained by Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans and women of mixed race (see chart). * These patterns of abortion rates mirror the levels of unintended pregnancy seen across these same groups. Among the poorest women, Hispanics are the most likely to experience an unintended pregnancy. Overall, however, black women are three times as likely as white women to experience an unintended pregnancy; Hispanic women are twice as likely. Because black women experience so many more unintended pregnancies than any other group—sharply disproportionate to their numbers in the general population—they are more likely to seek out and obtain abortion services than any other group. In addition, because black women as a group want the same number of children as white women, but have so many more unintended pregnancies, they are more likely than white women to terminate an unintended pregnancy by abortion to avoid an unwanted birth. === "From Privacy to Autonomy: The Conditions for Reproductive and Sexual Freedom" (1990) === <small> Copelon, Rhonda "From Privacy to Autonomy: The Conditions for Reproductive and Sexual Freedom". in Fried, Marlene Gerber (ed.).

For about a decade following the 1873 decision, the “fetal personhood” campaign, spearheaded by the Catholic Church and later joined by Protestant New Right fundamentalists, held center stage. <br> Right-to-life advocates argue for the subservience of women to the fetus, pitting images of innocent and helpless souls against those of selfish, unnatural, and murderous feminimity. Their goal is not simply to save fetuses but to return woman to her “proper place”-to assure that motherhood remains her primary preoccupation. Their campaign has had some terrible successes in the Court, particularly in the decisions in “Harris v. McRae”, permitting legislatures to deny abortion funding to poor women and “Baird v. Bellotti”, predicating a teenage girl’s rights ton parental approval or a judicial shaming ceremony. In 1983, however, a number of fetal rights efforts initiated at the outset of the Reagan administration’s effort to have the Court water down “Roe”, although its position was substantially adopted by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor in her dissenting opinion. ** p.28 * The Reagan Presidency provided the mechanism for the ultimate attack on “Roe v. Wade”-the appointment of over one-half of the federal judiciary and almost one-half of the Justices of the Supreme Court who were chosen because of their allegiance to the overruling of “Roe” and the dismantling of the modern right of privacy, as well as most of the rights protected by the Bill of Rights. <br> The Reagan administration cloaked its right wing agenda in the argument that the Court had no power to protect rights not articulated in the text of the Constitution or intended by the framers. While parading as the “jurisprudence of original intent,” the practical implications of resuscitating the framers’ intent as the measure of the Constitution explain its popularity on the Right. When the “founding fathers” are sacralized as the fount of wisdom, we are not reminded that they lived in a thoroughly patriarchal society, preserved slavery in the Constitution, and mocked the idea of the vote for women. Even the Radical Republicans who framed principle of quality after the Civil War did not envision school desegregation or the equality of women. In contrast to the originalist school, defenders of the modern Court’s decisions argue that the Constitution is a document for the ages and that the broad principles it expresses are to be given new meaning in light of the historical evolution of the society as well as of the new, lived meaning of human rights. ** p.29 * The first challenge to the criminal abortion laws through litigation and reform bills in state legislatures envisioned abortion as a doctor’s professional prerogative. Then in 1969 in New York, the first feminist challenge to the original abortion laws was filed, putting women’s right to control their bodies and lives at center stage. Whereas in the legislatures women had to break into an ongoing dialogue between male legislators and experts, in the courts it was easier to focus attention on their experience, need, and entitlement to control reproduction. This transformed a social reform movement for legal abortion led by doctors, family planners, and population controllers into a human rights struggle. As Ellen Willis wrote: “It was the feminist demand for an “unconditional right to abortion” that galvanized women and “created effective pressure for legislation.” <br> The claim of privacy played a central role in early abortion rights advocacy. The first legal cases involved doctors who challenged the imposition of criminal sanctions as an interference with the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship. The appeal to privacy also reflected the more liberal orientation of some feminist abortion advocates and a more cautious approach to litigation. ** p.32 * The core idea of the right to abortion-that women should be in control of decision making over their reproduction-employs the notion of non-interference by the state to reinforce rather than undermine women’s autonomy. In this respect it is a progressive demand. But, as it has been elaborated by many pro-choice advocates and by the Court, it is still a limited and deeply flawed basis for reproductive freedom. There has emerged a sharp tension between two notions of privacy: the liberal idea of privacy as a the negative and qualified right to be left alone (so long as nothing too significant is at stake), and the more radical ideal of privacy as the positive liberty of self-determination and an aspect of equal personhood. Both practically and theoretically, the privacy doctrine is double-edged, having within it the tendency to constrain as well as to expand reproductive rights. ** p.33 * The face that abortion rights have been qualified by fetal viability since “Roe v. Wade” is attributable, of course, to political compromise but also to the combined defects of a negative theory of privacy and a truncated view of women’s personhood. To limit a woman’s right-whether it be to decide on an abortion or refuse Caesarean surgery in childbirth-in the interest of viable yet still physically dependent potential life denies her full moral and physical autonomy. ** p.36 === "Committed to Availability, Conflicted about Morality: What the Millennial Generation Tells Us about the Future of the Abortion Debate and the Culture Wars" (June 9, 2011) === <small> Daniel Cox, Robert P.

A majority of Americans across the political spectrum say it is more socially acceptable today to be “pro-choice” rather than “pro-life.” <br> Nearly 6-in-10 (58%) Americans say that at least some health care professionals in their communities should provide legal abortions. With the exception of white evangelical Protestants and Latino Catholics, majorities of all major religious groups agree that at least some health care professionals in their community should provide legal abortions. Americans who live in large metropolitan areas are much more likely than those who live in rural communities to say legal abortion services should be available in their community (67% vs. 39% respectively). * The binary “pro-choice”/“pro-life” labels do not reflect the complexity of Americans’ views on abortion. Seven-in-ten Americans say the term “pro-choice” describes them somewhat or very well, and nearly two-thirds simultaneously say the term “pro-life” describes them somewhat or very well. This overlapping identity is present in virtually every demographic group. * The decoupling of attitudes on abortion and same-sex marriage suggests that these topics, which served in the past as the heart of the “values” agenda, are no longer necessarily linked in the minds of Americans. Roughly the same percentage of Americans said abortion should be legal in all or most cases in 1999 (57%) as say this today (56%). In contrast, the percentage of Americans who said marriages between same-sex couples should be recognized by the law as valid has grown 18 points over this same period, from 35% in 1999 to 53% in 2011. * Millennials are less supportive of legal abortion than their demographic profile would suggest. <br> Millennials generally have traits associated with higher levels of support for the legality of abortion: they are more educated, more liberal, and more likely to be religiously unaffiliated. <br> Millennials exemplify the decoupling of attitudes on legal abortion and same-sex marriage. They are much more likely than the general public to favor same-sex marriage, but they are not significantly more likely than the general public to support the legality of abortion (60% vs. 56% in the general public). <br> Millennials have largely positive top of mind associations with same-sex marriage but have largely negative top of mind associations with abortion. <br> Millennials are conflicted about the morality of abortion, but most say same gender sexual relationships are morally acceptable. Nearly 6-in-10 (57%) Millennials say sex between two adults of the same gender is morally acceptable, compared to only 46% who say having an abortion is morally acceptable. <br> Unlike all other age groups, Millennials register different levels of support for the availability and legality of abortion. On the one hand, Millennials are strongly committed to the availability of abortion and are significantly more likely than the general public to say that at least some health care professionals in their community should provide legal abortions (68% vs. 58% respectively). But they are no more likely than the general public to say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. These findings suggest general measures of legality may not fully capture support for legal abortion among Millennials. * On the issue of abortion, Americans hold complex and sometimes contradictory views, and grasping this complexity is critical for understanding the dynamics of the debate. <br> Approximately 3-in-10 Americans hold decidedly mixed views about the circumstances in which having an abortion should be possible. When measured on a composite scale of support for abortion in five specific circumstances, 43% say abortion should be possible in most or all of these circumstances, 29% say abortion should not be possible in most or all of these circumstances, and 28% hold decidedly mixed views. <br> Majorities of Americans simultaneously say abortion is morally wrong (52%) and that it should be legal in all or most cases (56%). * The study identified and tested a number of hypotheses about independent influences on attitudes about the legality of abortion. The following factors are independent predictors of support for the legality of abortion, even when controlling for other demographic characteristics: <br> Having a situationalist rather than a principle-based approach to morality has a positive impact on support for the legality of abortion. <br> Knowing someone who has had an abortion has a positive impact on support for the legality of abortion. <br> Having seen MTV’s reality shows about unmarried pregnant teenagers has a positive impact on support for the legality of abortion. <br> Recently seeing an ultrasound image of a fetus has a negative impact on support for the legality of abortion. * Among Americans who attend church at least once or twice a month, majorities report hearing their clergy talk about the issue of abortion (54%) or homosexuality (51%) in church. Catholics are significantly more likely than Protestants to hear about abortion in church. <br> More than 7-in-10 (72%) religious Americans believe it is possible to disagree with the teachings of their religion on the issue of abortion and still be considered a person of good standing in their faith. <br> A majority of all major religious groups, including Catholics and white evangelical Protestants agree with this statement. * The Millennials, Religion, and Abortion Survey is the largest national public opinion survey ever conducted on abortion and the influence of religion and moral values on the issue. Because of its large sample size (N=3,000 interviews), it allows us to paint a portrait of generational, religious, and ethnic differences that has not been previously possible. * Over the last decade, a majority or plurality of Americans have said abortion should be legal in all or most cases, although there has been some volatility. Specifically, throughout most of the decade, solid majorities usually hovering around the mid-50’s reported that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared to roughly 4-in-10 who said it should be illegal in all or most cases. In August 2001, and again in 2009, the country was nearly divided, but numbers soon returned to their previous pattern. Our most recent data reflects the dominant pattern: a solid majority of Americans say abortion should be legal in all (19%) or most (37%) cases, and 4-in-10 say it should be illegal in all (14%) or most (26%) cases. <br> The most polarized positions—views that abortion should be legal or illegal in all cases—have consistently been a minority opinion. Currently, roughly 1-in-5 (19%) Americans report that abortion should be legal in all cases, and 14% report that it should be illegal in all cases. Over the last ten years, the percentage of Americans who say abortion should be legal in all cases has never risen above 21%, and the percentage who say it should be illegal in all cases has never risen above 17%. * Views on abortion vary significantly by age, religion, race, education, political affiliation, and geographic region. However, there are no significant gender differences in views about the legality of abortion. Attitudes among the Millennial generation (ages 18 to 29) do not significantly differ from attitudes in the general population about the legality of abortion. Six-in-ten Millennials believe that abortion should be legal in all (22%) or most (38%) cases, compared to approximately 4-in-10 who say abortion should be illegal in all (13%) or most (25%) cases. Americans ages 65 and older are the only age group that differs significantly from the general public. Among this older age cohort, only about 4-in-10 say abortion should be legal in all (14%) or most (29%) cases, compared to half who say it should be illegal in all (17%) or most (33%) cases. * With the exception of white evangelical Protestants, majorities of all other major religious groups favor legalized abortion. At least two-thirds of religiously unaffiliated Americans (69%), white mainline Protestants (67%), and black Protestants (66%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. A majority (54%) of all Catholics say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, including 51% of Latino Catholics. Among white evangelical Protestants, however, less than 3-in-10 (29%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared to two-thirds (67%) who say it should be illegal in all or most cases. * There are significant differences by race and ethnicity. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of African Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. A solid majority (56%) of non-Hispanic whites say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, mirroring the general population. Latinos, in contrast, are evenly divided on the issue, with 47% saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases and 49% saying it should illegal in all or most cases. * Higher educational attainment levels are associated with more supportive views of legal abortion. Among Americans with a post-graduate education, nearly 7-in-10 (68%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. In contrast, Americans with a high school education or less are nearly evenly divided on the issue, with 50% saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases and 46% saying it should be illegal in all or most cases. * Democrats are approximately 30 points more likely to say abortion should be legal than Republicans. Seven-in-ten Democrats say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Among Republicans and Americans who identify with the Tea Party movement, roughly 4-in-10 say abortion should be legal in all or most cases (38% and 41% respectively). Solid majorities of Republicans and Americans who identify with the Tea Party movement say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases (60% and 55% respectively). Political independents closely mirror the general population. * Americans who live in more urban areas or who live in the Northeast or West are more likely to support legalized abortion than those who live in rural areas or in the South and Midwest. Solid majorities of Americans in the Northeast and West say abortion should be legal in all or most cases (66% and 60% respectively). Americans who live in the South or Midwest are divided, with 51% of each region supporting legal abortion in all or most cases. Sixty-three percent of Americans who live in urban areas believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while Americans who live in rural communities are divided, with 45% saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases and half (50%) saying it should be illegal in all or most cases. * Nearly 3-in-10 (29%) Americans say abortion is a critical issue facing the country today; an equal number (29%) say that it is one among many important issues; and 4-in-10 say it is not that important compared to other issues. In comparison, close to 8-in-10 (78%) Americans report that the economy is a critical issue, and more than 4-in-10 Americans say that immigration (43%) and the environment (42%) are critical issues. Fewer than 1-in-4 (23%) report that same-sex marriage is a critical issue; same-sex marriage is the only issue about which a majority (53%) say it is not that important compared to other issues. <br> Generally speaking, there are only minor variations in priorities among demographic groups, and most subgroups rank abortion fourth out of five issues, with same-sex marriage generally ranking fifth. Three major exceptions to this pattern are white evangelical Protestants, Republicans, and those who identify with the Tea Party. Members of these three subgroups rank abortion third behind the economy and immigration and rank the environment last. <br> There are significant differences in the salience of abortion between those who believe abortion should be legal and those who believe it should be illegal. Those who oppose legal abortion are more than three times as likely as those who support legal abortion to say it is a critical issue. Among those who say abortion should be illegal in all cases, nearly two-thirds (65%) say that abortion is a critical issue. In contrast, among those who say abortion should be legal in all cases, only 19% say it is a critical issue. * Over the last decade, the pattern of support for legalized abortion and same-sex marriage have been dramatically different. As we noted above, despite some modest volatility, support for legalized abortion has been generally stable during this period. Roughly the same percentage of Americans said abortion should be legal in all or most cases in 1999 (57%) as say this today (56%). On the issue of same-sex marriage, in contrast, there has been a dramatic shift in opinion, especially over the last decade. In 1999, only 35% of the public said marriages between same-sex couples should be recognized by the law as valid. In 2011, a majority (53%) say same-sex marriage should be recognized by the law as valid, an 18-point increase. * The pattern of support on each of these issues by age also shows remarkable differences between the two issues. There is no significant difference between the views of Millennials and the general public on the issue of abortion. Among age cohorts, only seniors have a significantly different profile. Nearly equal numbers of Millennials (60%), Americans age 30-49 (58%) and Americans age 50-64 (59%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared to just 43% of Americans age 65 and over. * Views on abortion differ markedly depending on the particular circumstances. In order to get a more nuanced picture of how specific circumstances matter for Americans’ views on abortion, we adapted a battery of questions about circumstances from the General Social Survey, one of the longest-running sources of polling on social issues. Strong majorities agree that it should be possible for a woman to obtain a legal abortion in four of seven circumstances: if the woman’s physical health is seriously endangered by the pregnancy (86%); if she became pregnant as a result of rape (79%); if the woman’s mental health is seriously endangered by the pregnancy (74%); and if there is a strong chance of serious defect in the baby (66%). <br> Americans are more ambivalent or opposed to a woman obtaining a legal abortion in three other specific circumstances. Americans are divided over whether a woman should be able to obtain a legal abortion because the woman is still in high school (47% possible, 49% not possible). Majorities of Americans say it should not be possible for a woman to obtain a legal abortion in two circumstances: the family is low income and cannot afford any more children (52%); and the woman is not married and does not want to marry the man (58%). * There are significant divisions by religious affiliation. Two-thirds (67%) of the religiously unaffiliated and half (50%) of white mainline Protestants say abortion should be possible in most or all circumstances. White Catholics and black Protestants are more divided, but pluralities of each group (44% and 41% respectively) say abortion should be possible in most or all circumstances. Black Protestants are also notable as the group most likely to have mixed views about abortion (36%). In contrast, fewer than 1-in-4 white evangelical Protestants (23%) and Latino Catholics (22%) say abortion should be possible in most or all circumstances. Latino Catholics are half as likely as white Catholics to believe that abortion should be possible in most or all circumstances (22% vs. 44% respectively). It is also noteworthy that at least one-quarter of every major religious group hold mixed views about the circumstances in which abortion should be possible. * Perhaps the most remarkable trait about Americans who have mixed views on abortion is that, with the exception of their educational profile, they are nearly indistinguishable from the general public. They are evenly divided between men and women. They reflect proportional numbers of racial and ethnic minorities, and they are also proportionally spread across age categories. A plurality of Americans with mixed views on abortion are politically independent (36%) or moderate (40%), also mirroring the political profile of the public at large. They draw proportionally from major religious groups and attend religious services at roughly the same rates as the general population. Their one distinguishing characteristic is that a majority (52%) of Americans who have mixed views on abortion have a high school education or less, compared to 42% of the general public. <br> As is expected, Americans with mixed views on abortion are nearly evenly divided on the question of the legality of abortion, with 48% saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases, and 45% saying abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. * A slim majority (51%) of Americans say that obtaining an abortion in their community is not too difficult or not at all difficult. One-third (33%) report that it is somewhat or very difficult, and a significant number (17%) report being unsure or did not answer the question. Among Millennials, 55% believe it is not at all or not too difficult to obtain an abortion, and 37% say that it is somewhat or very difficult. Millennials are more likely than other age cohorts to have an opinion about how difficult it is to get an abortion; only 7% report that they are unsure or do not know, compared to 28% of Americans age 65 or older. There are no significant differences in opinion on this question by political or religious affiliation or by gender. <br> Americans who live in rural areas are about twice as likely as those who live in urban areas to believe that it is either somewhat or very difficult to get an abortion (48% and 25% respectively). A majority (55%) of urban residents say it is not too or not at all difficult. There are no differences in the views of Americans by region; across each region, Americans are much more likely to say it is not that difficult to get an abortion than say it is difficult. <br> Despite divisions among Americans about the permissibility of abortion across different circumstances, nearly 6-in-10 (58%) Americans agree that at least some health care professionals in their communities should provide legal abortions. However, views differ dramatically by age, religion, education, geography, and community type. * Nearly 7-in-10 (68%) Millennials, but only 42% of seniors age 65 and older, say there should be some legal abortion services available in their community. The views of Americans age 30-49 and 50-64 mirror the views of the general population on this issue. <br> Majorities of religiously unaffiliated Americans (71%), white mainline Protestants (72%), and black Protestants (56%) say at least some health care professionals in their community should provide legal abortions. Catholics are more divided on this issue overall, but there are double-digit ethnic divisions among Catholics. Nearly 6-in-10 (58%) white Catholics say that at least some health care professionals in their community should provide abortions, compared to only 38% of Latino Catholics. White evangelical Protestant views are very similar to Latino Catholics; only 37% say their communities should have at least some health care professionals who provide abortion services. <br> Divisions are also large by educational attainment. Approximately three-quarters (76%) of Americans with a post-graduate degree say some health care providers should provide legal abortion services, compared to only 47% of those with a high school education or less. <br> Americans who live in the Northeast (66%) and West (63%) are significantly more likely than those who live in the Midwest (53%) or South (52%) to say at least some health care professionals should provide legal abortion services. Three-quarters (67%) of Americans who live in large cities believe that at least some health care professionals should provide abortions, compared to only 39% of Americans who live in rural areas. * Nearly 3-in-4 (73%) Americans favor requiring women under the age of 18 to get the consent of at least one parent before they are allowed to have an abortion. Roughly 1-in-4 (24%) Americans oppose this policy. Support for this policy is strong across demographic, religious, and political groups. Approximately 7-in-10 (71%) Millennials support this requirement, as do nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans age 65 and older. Support for parental consent laws are also high across the political spectrum, including 64% of Democrats, 74% of Independents, 84% of Republicans, and 85% of those identifying with the Tea Party. Americans who self-identify as politically liberal are the least likely to favor a requirement that women under the age of 18 get parental consent, but even among this group, 54% favor this policy. * Reflecting their complex pro-choice/pro-life identities, many Americans simultaneously affirm seemingly contradictory statements about the purpose of abortion laws. Strong majorities, for example, simultaneously say that it is appropriate for abortion laws to protect the life of the fetus throughout the entire pregnancy, and that it is appropriate for laws to preserve a woman’s freedom to make her own decisions (63% to 70%). Roughly 8-in-10 also say it is appropriate for abortion laws to protect the health and well-being of women, and that it is appropriate for laws to encourage women to make more responsible decisions (82% and 78% respectively). * A slim majority (52%) of Americans believe having an abortion is morally wrong, compared to 40% who say it is morally acceptable. Millennials are more divided on the morality of abortion, with half (50%) saying having an abortion is morally wrong and 46% saying it is morally acceptable. Among Americans age 65 and older, 57% say abortion is morally wrong, and 31% say it is morally acceptable. There are no significant gender differences in attitudes about the moral acceptability of abortion. <br> Majorities of most major religious groups—including white evangelical Protestants (75%), African American Protestants (60%), and Catholics (58%)—believe that having an abortion is morally wrong. White Mainline Protestants stand out here, with roughly equal numbers saying having an abortion is morally acceptable (45%) or morally wrong (43%). A strong majority (61%) of religiously unaffiliated Americans believe having an abortion is morally acceptable. More than two-thirds of Republicans and 7-in-10 members of the Tea Party movement say abortion is morally wrong, compared to only 42% of Democrats. * Americans are more likely to say that having an abortion is morally wrong than they are to say that it is a sin. On the theological question, Americans are divided: 46% believe having an abortion is a sin, and 44% disagree. There are few generational differences on this question. Millennials’ views roughly resemble those of the general population: 45% believe having an abortion is a sin, but a plurality (49%) disagree. <br> There are significant religious and political divisions on this question. Nearly 7-in-10 (69%) white evangelicals, and nearly two-thirds of black Protestants (64%) and Latino Catholics (65%), agree that having an abortion is a sin. White Catholics are evenly divided, with 46% agreeing that having an abortion is a sin, and 46% disagreeing. White mainline Protestants are the only major religious group in which a majority (55%) does not believe that having an abortion is a sin. <br> There are also significant gender and political differences. Women are somewhat more likely than men to say that having an abortion is a sin (50% vs. 43%), which may reflect the fact that women generally have higher levels of religious engagement than men. More than 6-in-10 Republicans and Americans who identify with the Tea Party movement (61% and 62% respectively) believe that having an abortion is a sin, compared to only 39% of Democrats and 43% of political independents. * Despite holding significant moral and theological concerns, nearly 6-in-10 (59%) Americans believe that in certain circumstances having an abortion is the most responsible decision a woman can make. Approximately one-third (35%) reject this statement and say that having an abortion is a selfish decision that allows a woman to avoid taking responsibility. Millennials are no more likely than older Americans to say that abortion can be the most responsible decision a woman can make. * With the exception of white evangelical Protestants and Latino Catholics, strong majorities of all major religious groups—including 68% of white mainline Protestants, 60% of black Protestants, and 63% of white Catholics—say that in certain circumstances having an abortion is the most responsible decision a woman can make. In contrast, only 38% of white evangelical Protestants and 44% of Latino Catholics agree. A majority (56%) of white evangelicals and a plurality (47%) of Latino Catholics say that having an abortion is a selfish decision that allows a woman to avoid taking responsibility. <br> Notably, more than one-third those who believe having an abortion is morally wrong (36%) or having an abortion is a sin (35%) also nonetheless believe having an abortion is in some circumstances the most responsible decision a woman can make. Among Americans who take a more situationalist approach to morality, two-thirds (67%) say having an abortion is in some circumstances the most responsible decision a woman can make. Even among Americans who take a more principle-based approach to morality, half (50%) say it is in some cases the most responsible decision a woman can make. * In the general population and all other age groups except for Millennials, nearly equal numbers support the legality of abortion and the local availability of abortion services. Millennials, however, support the availability of local abortion services at a significantly higher rate (68%) than they support the legality of abortion (60%). * On the question of legality, when controlling for other characteristics, Millennials are surprisingly 1.3 times more likely than older Americans to say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. In contrast, on the question of availability, when controlling for the same other characteristics, Millennials are about 1.5 times more likely than older Americans to say at least some health care providers should provide legal abortions in their community. * One distinctive pattern worth noting is the difference between attitudes among white religious groups and minority religious groups across these four measures. Among all white religious groups, support for local availability is higher than support for legality. Among minority religious groups and minorities overall, support for legality exceeds support for local availability. For example, nearly two-thirds of black Protestants (66%) and a slim majority (51%) of Latino Catholics say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. However, a smaller majority (56%) of black Protestants and only 38% of Latino Catholics say at least some health care professionals should provide legal abortions in their local communities. * Americans who attend religious services at least weekly are more likely to oppose the legality of abortion than those who attend less frequently or who never attend religious services. Among the approximately 4-in-10 Americans who attend religious services at least once a week, 60% say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, compared to 36% who say it should be legal in all or most cases. In contrast, nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans who attend services less frequently (monthly or a few times a year), and nearly three-fourths (74%) of Americans who attend services seldom or never, say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This general pattern holds among Millennials and all other age groups. <br> Church attendance patterns do not influence opinions on abortion equally in all religious groups. Most importantly, frequency of attendance matters more for Catholics than it does for other major religious groups. Among Catholics, 41% attend church at least weekly, 38% attend church monthly or a few times a year, and 19% say they seldom or never attend. Among the approximately 4-in-10 Catholics who attend church at least weekly, only about one-third (34%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. But strong majorities of Catholics who attend monthly or a few times a year (62%) or who attend seldom or never (78%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. * Religious affiliation appears to matter more among some religious groups than others. Majorities of white evangelical Protestants in all measurable religious attendance categories say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. Conversely, majorities of white mainline Protestants and black Protestants in all religious attendance categories say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. <br Frequency of church attendance also influences Americans’ views about the availability of abortion services in their neighborhoods. Among those who attend religious services at least once a week, a slim majority (52%) disagree that there should be at least some health care professionals in their communities who provide legal abortions, but 42% of this group say these services should be available. Strong majorities of Americans who attend religious services monthly or a few times a year (63%) and those who attend seldom or never (74%) say at least some health care professional in their communities should provide legal abortions. These attendance patterns generally hold up within religious groups with two exceptions: majorities of even the most frequently attending white Mainline Protestants (62%) and black Protestants (52%) say at least some health care professionals should provide legal abortions in their communities. * Certain theological views are also linked to views about abortion. Americans who say the Bible is the word of God and should be taken literally, word for word, are more likely to believe abortion should be illegal. Among this group, roughly 6-in-10 (59%) say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases and less than 4-in-10 (37%) say it should be legal in all or most cases. A majority (53%) of Americans who say the Bible is the literal word of God, but that not everything in it should be taken literally believe abortion should be legal. Among Americans who believe that the Bible is a book written by men and not the word of God, more than 8-in-10 believe abortion should be legal in all (34%) or most (49%) cases. These patterns generally hold across religious groups. * Among Americans who attend church at least once or twice a month, majorities report hearing their clergy talk about the issue of abortion (54%) and homosexuality (51%) in church. There are dramatic differences, however, in this pattern among religious subgroups. <br> Regularly attending Catholics are significantly more likely than regular churchgoers overall to hear about the issue of abortion. More than 7-in-10 (72%) white Catholics who attend worship at least once or twice a month say their clergy talk about the issue of abortion, while only about one-third (35%) say they hear about the issue of homosexuality. The gap among regularly attending Latino Catholics is somewhat smaller, but they are still more likely to hear about the issue of abortion (63%) than homosexuality (49%). <br> There is a less pronounced emphasis gap among Protestants. Among white evangelicals, 57% report hearing about the issue of homosexuality, while 54% say they hear about abortion from their clergy. More than 6-in-10 (61%) black Protestants say their clergy speak out on the issue of homosexuality, while a smaller majority (52%) hear about abortion. White mainline Protestants are significantly less likely than any other religious group to hear their clergy talk about either issue; only about 4-in-10 report hearing about homosexuality (43%) or abortion (39%) in their churches. * Americans who regularly attend religious services and hear their clergy speak about the issue of abortion or homosexuality report hearing that these issues are morally wrong. Among Americans who hear their clergy speak about abortion in church, 81% hear it is morally wrong, compared to just 3% who hear it is morally acceptable. Similarly, among Americans who hear their clergy speak about the issue of homosexuality in church, nearly 8-in-10 (77%) hear that it is morally wrong, compared to only 5% who hear that it is morally acceptable. <br>White mainline Protestants and white Catholics hear significantly different emphases from their clergy on these two issues. Three-quarters (75%) of white mainline Protestants hear from their clergy that abortion is morally wrong, compared to just 54% who report hearing their clergy say homosexuality is morally wrong. Among white Catholics, 86% report hearing their clergy say that abortion is morally wrong, compared to 64% who hear this same negative message about the issue of homosexuality. There are no significant differences in clergy messages on these two issues among white evangelicals, Latino Catholics, or black Protestants. <br> The messages Americans are hearing in church are strongly correlated with their views on the issues of abortion. Among Americans whose clergy say abortion is morally wrong, approximately two-thirds (66%) believe abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. In contrast, less than half of those who do not hear about the issue from their clergy, or whose clergy do not take a clear position on the issue, believe abortion should be illegal in all or most cases (42% and 45% respectively). * Strong majorities of Americans believe it is possible to disagree with the teachings of their religion on the issue of abortion (72%) or homosexuality (63%) and still be considered a person of good standing in their faith. Protestants generally say there is more room for disagreement on the issue of abortion, while Catholics say there is more room for disagreement on the issue of homosexuality. <br> White mainline Protestants are more likely than any other major religious group to believe that they can still be a good Christian even if they disagree with the teachings of their religion on the issue of abortion (86%) or homosexuality (77%). More than two-thirds (67%) of white evangelicals say that it is possible to disagree with their religion’s teachings on abortion and still be considered a good Christian, but they are the only religious group in which less than a majority (47%) agree that it is possible to be a good Christian if one disagrees with their religion’s teachings on homosexuality. Catholics are about as likely as other religious groups to say you can still be a good Catholic even if you disagree with official church teachings on abortion (68%), and they are significantly more likely than the general population to say the same about the issue of homosexuality (74%). * Among Americans who identify with a religious faith, a majority overall give their places of worship high marks (either an ‘A’ or ‘B’) on how they handle the issues of abortion (58%) and homosexuality (55%). White evangelicals are most likely to give their churches high marks for how they are handling the issue of abortion (68%) and homosexuality (67%). Majorities of black Protestants also give their churches high marks for handling abortion (52%) and homosexuality (54%). <br> On the other hand, less than half of white mainline Protestants and Catholics give their places of worship high marks on either issue. Forty-nine percent of white mainline Protestants give their churches high marks on their handling of abortion, and nearly identical numbers give their churches high marks on their handling of homosexuality (48%). Among Catholics, 49% give high marks to their churches for how they handle the issue of abortion, but only 42% give their churches high marks for handling the issue of homosexuality. Catholics are more likely than other religious groups to give their churches low marks for handling both issues. About 1-in-4 Catholics give their places of worship low marks (either a ‘D’ or ‘F’) for their handling of both the issue of abortion (24%) and the issue of homosexuality (26%). <br> Among Catholics, 44% say the position of the Catholic Church on the issue of abortion is too conservative, 45% say the position of Catholic Church on the issue of abortion is about right, and just 7% say it is too liberal. Among Catholics who attend worship services at least once a week, less than one-third (31%) say the Church’s position is too conservative, while nearly 6-in-10 (59%) say it is about right. Catholics who say the position of Catholic Church on the issue of abortion is too conservative are more likely to give the Church poor marks for how it is handling the issue of abortion than Catholics overall (37% to 24% respectively). * More than 6-in-10 (61%) Americans say that it is wrong for religious leaders to attempt to publicly pressure politicians on the issue of abortion, compared to 35% who say that it is right for religious leaders to do this. Two-thirds of white mainline Protestants (67%) and nearly 6-in-10 Catholics (58%) and black Protestants (58%) say it is wrong for religious leaders to publicly pressure politicians on the issue of abortion. Even among more politically conservative constituencies, such as Republicans (48%), Americans who identify with the Tea Party movement (49%), and white evangelical Protestants (49%), less than half say that it is right for religious leaders to attempt to publicly pressure politicians on the issue of abortion. There are no significant differences on this question by age, education, or gender. * There are a number of factors that influence attitudes about abortion. Demographic factors like education, income, age, and race; religious factors like evangelical religious affiliation, frequency of attendance, and views of the Bible; and political characteristics like party affiliation and political ideology each are significant independent predictors of views about abortion. In addition to these well-known factors, we tested six new factors as predictors of views on the legality of abortion: holding a situationalist approach to morality; having empathetic traits; knowing someone who has had an abortion; knowing someone who has a special needs child; seeing recently an ultrasound of a fetus; or watching television programs featuring young unmarried women who are pregnant or who have young children. * Americans who embrace a more situationalist ethic are much more likely to support legalized abortion than those who favor a more principle-based approach to moral issues. Among Americans who embrace a situationalist ethic, nearly two-thirds (64%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. In contrast, among Americans who embrace a principle-based approach to morality, a plurality (49%) say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, and only 46% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. * Knowing someone who has had an abortion, however, has a strong influence on views about abortion. More than 6-in-10 (61%) Americans say that they know someone who has had an abortion, compared to 38% who say they do not. With the exception of seniors, there are no large differences between age groups; only 42% of seniors report knowing someone who has had an abortion. <br> Among those who know someone who has had an abortion, roughly two-thirds (64%) say this is someone in their own generation. About 1-in-5 (22%) say it is someone in another generation, and 13% say they know someone in both their own and another generation who has had an abortion. <br> There are significant differences in support for the legality of abortion between those who do and do not know someone who has had an abortion. Among Americans who say they know someone who has had an abortion, about 6-in-10 (61%) say it should be legal in all or most cases. Among those who do not know someone, less than half (49%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. <br> The experience of knowing someone who has had an abortion also has a strong influence on views about the availability of legal abortion in local communities. Nearly two thirds (65%) of those who know someone who has had an abortion say at least some health care professionals in their local communities should provide legal abortions, compared to only 48% of those who do not know someone who has had an abortion. * Nearly 6-in-10 (58%) Americans say they have recently seen an ultrasound image, either over email, in a printout or on Facebook. Younger Americans are significantly more likely than older Americans to report seeing an ultrasound. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Millennials and 69% of Americans age 30-49 say they have recently seen an ultrasound, compared to only 35% of Americans age 65+. <br> When no other variables are controlled for, Americans who have recently seen an ultrasound image do not differ from the general public in their views about the legality of abortion. Like the general population, 56% of those who have seen an ultrasound image say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. However, when we applied other demographic controls in order to understand the isolated effect of seeing an ultrasound image, we find a modest but significant negative impact on support for legal abortion. In other words, Americans who have recently seen an ultrasound are less likely to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases than those who have not. * Movies and television shows about young pregnant women or young unwed mothers have a modest but significant impact on views about the legality and morality of abortion. Overall, younger Americans are far more likely than older Americans to report having seen a television show or a movie about this topic. Among Millennials, more than 7-in-10 (71%) report having seen a movie or TV show about teenage pregnancy. Among seniors age 65 and up, fewer than one-third (31%) report having seen movies or shows that feature these themes. Roughly 1-in-5 (17%) Americans, including nearly 3-in-10 (29%) Millennials, report having seen one of MTV’s two popular reality shows on this topic: “16 and Pregnant” or “Teen Mom.” <br> Americans who have seen MTV’s shows “Teen Mom” or “16 and Pregnant” are significantly more likely than the general public to say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases (65% vs. 56% of the public) and to say that having an abortion is morally acceptable (48% vs. 40% of the public). They are also nearly twice as likely as those who have not seen these shows to say that at least some health care professionals in their communities should provide legal abortions (65% vs. 34% respectively). * The analysis above allows us to sort out factors that are independent predictors of attitudes on abortion. Of the six factors tested, four have a significant effect and two are not significant. Among the significant factors, three have a positive significant effect on support for abortion being legal in all or most cases: holding a situationalist view of morality; knowing someone who has had an abortion; and having seen either of MTV’s two reality shows featuring young unmarried women who are pregnant or who have young children. One item has a negative significant effect on support for abortion being legal in all or most cases: recently seeing an ultrasound image of a fetus. Finally, two items had no significant effect: self-identifying as being empathetic and knowing someone with a special needs child. === “Racism, Birth Control, and Reproductive Rights" (1990) === <small> Angela Davis, “Racism, Birth Control, and Reproductive Rights" in Fried, Marlene Gerber (ed.). [https://books.google.com/books?id=keE5EmSKYr0C “From Abortion to Reproductive Freedom: Transforming a Movement”] (1990). South End Press. ISBN 9780896083875. </small> * The ranks of the abortion rights campaign did not include substantial numbers of women of color. Given the racial composition of the larger women’s liberation movement, this was not at all surprising. When questions were raised about the absence of racially oppressed women in both the larger movement and in the abortion rights campaign, two explanations were commonly proposed in the discussions and literature of the period: women of color were overburdened by their people’s fight against racism, and/or they had not yet become conscious of the centrality of sexism. But the real meaning of the almost lily0white complexion of the abortion rights campaign was not to be found in ostensibly myopic or underdeveloped consciousness among women of color. The truth lay buried in the ideological underpinnings of the birth control movement itself.<br> The failure of the abortion rights campaign to conduct a historical self-evaluation led to a dangerously superficial appraisal of Black people’s suspicious attitudes toward birth control in general. Granted, when some Black people unhesitatingly equated birth control with genocide, it did appear to be an exaggerated-even paranoid-reaction. Yet white abortion rights activists missed a profound message, for underlying these cries of genocide were important clues about the history of the birth control movement. This movement, for example, had been known to advocate involuntary sterilization-a racist form of mass “birth control.” If ever women would enjoy the right to plan their pregnancies, legal and easily accessible birth control measures and abortions would have to be complemented by an end to sterilization abuse. ** p.16 * When Black and Latina women resort to abortions in such large numbers, the stories they tell are not so much about the desire to be free of their pregnancy, but rather about the miserable social conditions which dissuade them from bringing new lives into the world. <Br> Black women have been aborting themselves since the earliest days of slavery. Many slave women refusing to bring children into a world of interminable forced labor, where chains and floggings and sexual abuse for women were the everyday conditions of life. A doctor practicing in Georgia around the middle of the last century noticed that abortions and miscarriages were far more common among his slave patients than among the white women he treated.<br> Why were self-imposed abortions and reluctant acts of infanticide such common occurrence during slavery? Not because Black women had discovered solutions to their predicament, but rather because they were desperate. Abortions and infanticides were acts of desperation, motivated not by the biological birth process but by the oppressive conditions of slavery. Most of these women, no doubt, would have expressed their deepest resentment had someone hailed their abortions as a stepping stone toward freedom. ** p.17 * During the early abortion rights campaign, it was too frequently assumed that legal abortions provided a viable alternative to the myriad problems posed by poverty. As if having fewer children would create more jobs, higher wages, better schools, etc. This assumption reflected the tendency to blur the distinction between “abortion rights” and the general advocacy of “abortions”. The campaign often failed to provide a voice for women who wanted the “right” to legal abortions while deploring the social conditions that prohibited them from bearing more children. ** p.17 * The abortion rights activists of the early 1970s should have examined the history of their movement. Had they done so, they might have understood why so many of their Black sisters adopted a posture of suspicion toward their cause. They might have understood how important it was to undo the racist deeds of their predecessors, who had advocated birth control as well as compulsory sterilization as a means of eliminating the “unfit” sectors of the population. Consequently, the young white feminists might have been more receptive to the suggestion that their campaign for abortion rights include a vigorous condemnation of sterilization abuse, which had become more widespread than ever. <br> It was not until the media decided that the casual sterilization of two Black girls in Montgomery, Alabama, was a scandal worth reporting that he Pandora’s box of sterilization abuse was finally flung open. But by the time the case of the Relf sisters broke, it was practically too late to influence the politics of the abortion rights movement. It was the summer of 1973 and the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortions had already been announced in January. ** pp.21-22 === "Disparities in Abortion Rates: A Public Health Approach" === <small> Dehlendorf, Christine; Lisa Harris (October 1, 2013). [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3780732/ "Disparities in Abortion Rates: A Public Health Approach"]. American Journal of Public Health. 103 (10): 1772–1779. </small> * Women of lower socioeconomic status and women of color in the United States have higher rates of abortion than women of higher socioeconomic status and White women. Opponents of abortion use these statistics to argue that abortion providers are exploiting women of color and low socioeconomic status, and thus, regulations are needed to protect women. This argument ignores the underlying causes of the disparities. As efforts to restrict abortion will have no effect on these underlying factors, and instead will only result in more women experiencing later abortions or having an unintended childbirth, they are likely to result in worsening health disparities. We provide a review of the causes of abortion disparities and argue for a multifaceted public health approach to address them. * The abortion rate in the United States is higher than that in most other developed countries.Although this fact alone requires attention, looking deeper within these statistics reveals an additional area of concern: similar to many health outcomes in the United States, there are substantial disparities in abortion rates in the United States, with low-income women and women of color having higher rates than affluent and White women. In 2008, the abortion rate for non-Hispanic White women was 12 abortions per 1000 reproductive-age women, compared with 29 per 1000 for Hispanic women, and 40 per 1000 for non-Hispanic Black women. Disparities in abortion rates also exist by socioeconomic status (SES), with women with incomes less than 100% of the federal poverty level (FPL) having an abortion rate of 52 abortions per 1000 reproductive-age women, compared with a rate of 9 per 1000 among those with incomes greater than 200% FPL. In analyses assessing both income and race/ethnicity, both are independently associated with abortion rates. * In the past several years, the differences in rates of abortion have received increasing political attention, with those opposed to abortion rights citing differences in abortion rates as evidence of the diabolical nature of the “abortion industry.” Abortion rights opponents point to racial/ethnic differences in abortion rates as evidence of racism and coercion among those who support the right to obtain abortions. Not only do these messages explicitly blame those providing abortion for targeting communities of color, they also assign guilt to women of color who decide to have abortions by implying that they are falling victim to a racist conspiracy. Differences in abortion rates by income are also seen as evidence of exploitation by abortion providers, who are claimed to be aggressively profiting from public funding of abortion for low-income women. Although there is no evidence of racial targeting or routine profiteering by abortion providers, from the perspective of those who espouse these views, the problem of disparities in abortion rates can only be solved by limiting access to and utilization of abortion services. <br> Motivated by a concern that this politicized perspective on disparities in abortion rates fails to consider their actual underlying causes, and thus will not ultimately lead to meaningful policy or programmatic outcomes, we review what is known about the origins of disparities in abortion rates by both race/ethnicity and SES. * Although popular discourse often focuses on making abortion “rare,” this does not allow for the reality that, for a woman with an unintended pregnancy who desires an abortion, being able to obtain this procedure in a timely and safe manner is in fact a desirable outcome. In addition, the framing of abortion as something that needs to be rare may actually contribute to the ongoing stigmatization of abortion and of women who seek it, which in turn can lead to delayed or unsafe abortion. However, as it is desirable to avoid an unintended pregnancy that leads to abortion in the first place, we suggest that it is constructive to address disparities in abortion rates that result from structural social inequalities—especially racism and poverty—without seeing abortion as a bad outcome once an unintended pregnancy has occurred. When such an approach is taken, the focus shifts from the overall number of abortions to helping women achieve their personal fertility desires. * The documented disparities in abortion rates in the United States mirror other fundamental inequalities: people of color and those with lower income and less education fare worse across a wide range of health outcomes, including infant mortality, cancer incidence, and life expectancy. These disparities are related to systemic hardships experienced by disadvantaged communities, including decreased access to health care, higher levels of stress, exposure to racial discrimination, and poorer living and working conditions. Understanding the systemic nature of these disparities and their relationship to health outcomes provides an essential context to the consideration of disparities in abortion rates. This broader understanding is of particular importance given the cultural tendency for discussion of abortion and sexual health to engender judgment of individual women’s behavior, as well as a historical propensity for negative stereotyping about the sexual and reproductive behavior of non-White and lower-income individuals. <br> We share the perspectives of important theorists of race and health who have noted that the continued use of classifications of race, ethnicity, and SES are important, not because they identify meaningful differences at the level of individual behavior or biology, but rather because they reflect larger systems of structural inequality, including racism and systematic inequalities in both opportunities and power. In this approach race is understood as a social and political rather than a biological category. As a consequence, data presented throughout this article on higher rates of both poor health outcomes and higher risk behaviors in women of color and low-SES women should be seen as reflective of adverse social circumstances rather than individual failings. In a similar way, data on lower rates of adverse health outcomes and risk behaviors in White and more affluent women should be seen as reflective of the privileges and advantages that accompany membership in a dominant social group. * Race/ethnicity and SES (and gender) intersect to form a person’s identity, and these dimensions of identity affect all aspects of day-to-day life. Among other things, they influence where people live, the nutritional value of food to which they have ready access, and the degree of discrimination or respect people experience. In addition, race/ethnicity and SES circumscribe educational and vocational opportunities, and access to quality health care and to health insurance.21 These factors have also played significant roles in the ways in which reproduction has historically been allowed, required, or denied for populations of women.14,22–24 Therefore, although we do present data about individual-level factors influencing disparities in reproductive health indicators, our ultimate goal is to create greater understanding of the pervasive economic and social forces that underlie them. * Although the proportion of pregnancies that are unintended is high for all women at 51%, there are significant differences among population subgroups. Rates of unintended pregnancy are highest among Blacks, Hispanics, and women with lower SES. The most recent data in which the independent effects of race/ethnicity and SES have been examined come from the 2008 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). By race/ethnicity, 70% of all pregnancies among Black women and 57% among Hispanic women were unintended, compared with 42% among White women. With respect to income, 64% of pregnancies among women with an income of less than 100% FPL were unintended, whereas only 37% of pregnancies were unintended among women with an income of more than 200% FPL. There were similar findings by educational level. Furthermore, this analysis demonstrated that both Black and Hispanic race/ethnicity and being lower-income were independent predictors of unintended pregnancy. <br> With regard to unintended pregnancy, an additional important consideration is the rate of adolescent pregnancy, of which more than 80% are unintended. Significant racial/ethnic disparities exist in this outcome as well, with a rate of 44 pregnancies per 1000 females between ages 15 and 19 years among non-Hispanic Whites, 124 per 1000 among non-Hispanic Blacks, and 129 per 1000 among Hispanics. Although the overall rate of adolescent pregnancy has declined over the past decade, disparities between groups have persisted, and similar disparities exist by socioeconomic variables. * Risk of unintended pregnancy is associated with sexual activity, either without use of contraceptive protection or with the use of a contraceptive method that is ineffective in that instance. In addition, age of initiation of sexual activity is itself a risk factor for adolescent pregnancy. Though recent data show that adolescents are delaying sexual initiation to older ages, the proportion of adolescents who engage in sexual intercourse varies by race/ethnicity and by SES. National studies have consistently shown that Black adolescents initiate intercourse at younger ages than White adolescents. By contrast, Hispanics have the oldest mean age of sexual initiation, at age 18 years. Researchers have also shown an inverse relationship between sexual experience and SES. * For women and girls who are sexually active and who do not currently desire children, use of contraceptive methods is clearly associated with the ability to prevent pregnancy. Studies performed at the national and regional levels have found that there are differences in effective use of contraception by women’s race/ethnicity and SES that likely influence disparities in unintended pregnancy. The most striking disparities in contraception use are those in the percentage of women at risk for unintended pregnancy who report using no contraceptive method. In the most recent NSFG, which includes data from 2006 to 2010, 17.2% of Black women and 10.4% of Hispanic women at risk for unintended pregnancy were using no contraceptive method, compared with 9.5% of non-Hispanic White women. Although there were no differences by education and income in these most recent data, previous versions of the NSFG have found differences by these socioeconomic variables. Analyses of the NSFG have not isolated the independent effects of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic factors, but other studies have found that generally differences by education and race/ethnicity persist after adjustment, and income is not as strongly associated. <br> Among women using contraception, race/ethnicity has also been found to be associated with decreased likelihood of using highly effective methods, whereas socioeconomic variables have not been associated with this finding. In the most recent NSFG, 14.1% of non-Hispanic White women who used contraception relied on condoms, compared with 18.1% of Hispanics and 19.5% of Blacks. Although this analysis did not control for confounding factors, studies using multivariate techniques have also found that race/ethnicity is associated with use of less effective methods such as condoms. Although higher rates of condom use may be appropriate for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, they are less efficacious at preventing pregnancy. <br> Other studies have looked at contraceptive failure rates by sociodemographic factors, and have found that both income and race/ethnicity are associated with a higher likelihood of failure among those using contraception. Data from the 2002 NSFG found that Blacks and Hispanics had a 21% and 15% rate, respectively, of contraceptive failure in 1 year, compared with 10% among non-Hispanic Whites, and those with an income less than 100% FPL had a 20% failure rate, compared with 8% for those with an income greater than 200% FPL. Although some of these differences are likely attributable to differences in the contraceptive methods used, this study found differences in condom failure rates by both race/ethnicity and income, suggesting that differences in failure rates may exist even among those using the same method. Continuation of a chosen contraceptive method also has an impact on the risk of unintended pregnancy, as discontinuation can be associated with gaps in contraceptive use. While studies of predictors of method discontinuation have been limited, analyses with NSFG data have found that Black and low-SES women have higher rates of discontinuation of the oral contraceptive pill. These analyses indicate that both race/ethnicity and SES are associated with selection of contraceptive methods, as well as women’s use of their chosen method. * As noted previously, chronic disadvantage and stress experienced by low-SES individuals and people of color in the United States influence disparities in multifaceted ways. For example, living in disadvantaged neighborhoods is associated with adverse health behaviors such as smoking, and experiences of discrimination are associated with decreased likelihood of seeking preventive health services. These same hardships may underlie disparities in timing of initiation of sexual activity and contraceptive use, and the resulting disparities in unintended pregnancy and abortion rates. Although the pathways by which this occurs have not been comprehensively investigated, topics that have been studied include differences in neighborhood-level resources and opportunities, access to and quality of family planning care, mistrust of health care providers and contraceptive technologies, perceived infertility, and pregnancy attitudes. In combination, these areas of research begin to indicate the pervasiveness of the disadvantage that women of color and low-SES women face in the context of their reproductive lives. <br> An important influence on sexual initiation is the neighborhood in which adolescents live. Studies have found higher sexual risk for young people living in neighborhoods where there are higher levels of poverty, idle youths, and social disorganization, and lower proportions of working women and lack of economic and educational opportunities. Analyses controlling for both neighborhood and individual-level characteristics that have found little or no differences by race or individual socioeconomic variables suggest the importance of these structural influences on sexual activity. * With respect to contraceptive use, factors underlying the findings (i.e., lower-SES women and women of color being less likely to use contraception, less likely to use highly effective methods, and more likely to discontinue methods than higher-SES and White women) include differences in access to, quality of, and acceptability of family planning, as well as differences in perceived need for family planning. With respect to access, lack of insurance coverage for contraception and family planning care is a significant barrier, as it is estimated that more than half of US women of reproductive age are in need of publicly funded family planning care, and only 40% of these women actually receive these services. Low-SES women and Black and Hispanic women are more likely to be uninsured and, therefore, lack of insurance coverage is a likely contributor to disparities in contraceptive use. <br> Even when receiving family planning care, poor and non-White women may continue to face barriers to contraceptive use. Quality of care is one factor, as non-White patients have been found to be less likely to rate their family planning visits positively. In addition, studies have suggested that women of color may experience pressure to utilize contraceptives and limit their family size, and also may receive different recommendations from their providers about family planning methods. One survey study found that approximately two thirds of Black women reported having experienced race-based discrimination when receiving family planning care. As pressure to utilize a method and lower quality of care have been associated with lower contraceptive use, these factors may contribute to disparities in reproductive outcomes. * Another potential related contributor to differences by race/ethnicity in contraceptive use is the finding that women of color may have less knowledge and more concerns about contraceptive methods than do White women. One potential explanation for lower knowledge is that Black and Hispanic adolescents are less likely to receive sexuality education that includes information about birth control methods. Skepticism of contraception may relate to distrust of the health care system in general, as well as concern about the motivation of family planning programs grounded in the historical context of coercive family planning policies targeted at these same groups of women. A recent analysis of a nationally representative survey indicated that skepticism about the motivation of family planning providers is widespread; 42% of Blacks and 51% Hispanics surveyed believed that the government promotes birth control to limit minorities, compared with only 25% of Whites. * Finally, women of color have been found to be more likely to perceive themselves to be infertile, which may decrease their motivation to use contraception. In fact, these fears of infertility are not unfounded as women of color and low-SES women have substantially higher rates of infertility than White women and women of higher SES. * Pregnancy ambivalence—defined as having a lack of definitive intention regarding pregnancy planning—has increasingly been studied as a central concept in women’s reproductive health, and may have relevance to reproductive health disparities. Studies have found that women who are ambivalent about pregnancy are more likely not to use contraception at all, to use it infrequently, to have gaps in use, and to use less effective methods of contraception. Studies investigating differences in pregnancy attitudes by race/ethnicity include one that found that 39% of Latinas and 37% of Black women provided ambivalent responses about pregnancy, compared with 16% of White women. In addition, there are differences by race/ethnicity in pregnancy intention among adolescents, with the 2002 NSFG reporting that 66% of White female adolescents would be “very upset” if they were to become pregnant, compared with only 51% of Blacks and 46% of Hispanics. No similar studies have investigated differences in pregnancy ambivalence by SES. Although the reasons behind these racial/ethnic differences in pregnancy ambivalence have not been well-studied, they may relate to the presence or absence of alternative life opportunities, the perception of control over one’s life course, the availability of social supports for early childbearing, and lack of perceived adverse effects of unplanned childbearing. * Disparities in abortion rates are related to disparities in unintended pregnancy, and associated disparities in contraceptive use. Structural factors, including economic disadvantage, neighborhood characteristics, lack of access to family planning, and mistrust in the medical system underlie these findings. <br> Understanding this context allows us to critically consider the efforts of abortion rights opponents to politicize disparities in abortion rates as part of a larger effort to limit access to abortion care through such means as expanding regulations on abortion care, including increased waiting periods and counseling and facilities requirements. This focus on limiting access to abortion does nothing to mitigate the underlying inequities in wealth, education, health care, discrimination, or other life experiences that may influence reproductive health disparities, nor do they address specific disparities in contraceptive use or unintended pregnancy that lead to disparities in abortion rates. Instead, the resulting policies result in more women experiencing later abortions or having an unintended childbirth. As later abortions are associated with higher medical risk and greater cost to women, and unintended childbirth is associated with decreased opportunities for education and paid employment, as well as with adverse maternal and infant health effects, this orientation has the potential to cause worsened health and social outcomes and to increase medical and social disparities. * Additional barriers to contraceptive use that can be addressed include gaps in knowledge about contraceptive methods and concerns about safety, especially among women of color. Improving contraceptive counseling is one strategy to accomplish this goal; further research is needed on ways to assist women in making informed decisions about their contraceptive use. One focus of this counseling can be ensuring that women have accurate knowledge about the most highly effective reversible methods—intrauterine devices and the contraceptive implant—as expanded use of these methods would have a substantial impact on unintended pregnancy. However, because of the history of coercive family planning care in the United States, particular attention should be paid to ensuring that patient autonomy is prioritized in this counseling and that issues of possible patient mistrust are addressed. Indeed, we are in need of data about how women in general—and low-income women and women of color in particular—experience the recent push among family planning specialists to increase use of these methods. For clinicians, these methods may be understood simply as a means to decrease unintended pregnancy, but to women—and perhaps low-income and women of color in particular, in light of historical atrocities—they may carry different meanings, such as coercion, lack of trust in patients, or that doctors do not want poor or minority women to reproduce. * Because there is extensive variation in the sexual education that is provided in schools, more standardized curriculums and laws to ensure compliance could have an impact on disparities. * Whereas abortion is overall lower risk than continuing a pregnancy to term, abortions at later gestational ages are associated with greater risk than those performed earlier. As Black women and women with lower levels of education are more likely to have later abortions, this exposes them to greater health risks. Improving access to abortion would therefore have a positive impact on disparities in abortion-related morbidity. In addition, disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality and infant mortality illustrate the importance of ensuring quality care for women who continue their pregnancies and in providing economic supports to reduce the contribution of poverty to these outcomes. * Providing public and private insurance coverage for abortions is an important component of improving access to abortion, and would enable low-income women who desire abortions to obtain them in a safe and timely manner. This would have a beneficial impact on health outcomes through helping to ensure that women receive abortion care at the earliest and, therefore, safest gestational age possible. Currently, federal money, including Medicaid funds, cannot be used to pay for abortions unless the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest or the pregnant woman’s life is in danger. In addition, 33 states ban the use of state funds except in cases where federal funds are available. Even in cases where women should be eligible for federal funds, few are able to access this financial support. * As the mean charge for a nonhospital abortion at 10 weeks gestation is $543, and the mean charge for a nonhospital abortion at 20 weeks is $1562, there are substantial financial barriers to access, particularly among low-SES populations. These barriers affect women’s ability to obtain timely abortion services, as indicated by a study that found that low-SES women reported that the cost of paying for an abortion delayed their access to abortion, and other studies that have found that the cost of abortion is in general a barrier to care. A study in California, in which Medicaid funding is available, further supports the importance of the availability of public funding on access to abortion. Women who reported difficulties obtaining Medicaid coverage experienced 4-times-greater odds of having an abortion in the second trimester compared with those who did not experience barriers to this coverage. * Additional steps that can be taken to improve access to abortion services include decreasing state regulations, such as mandatory waiting periods, which pose barriers to care, and increasing the number of providers. Currently, 87% of all counties in the United States do not have an abortion provider, and 35% of women of reproductive age live in these counties. This lack of available services results in many women accessing abortion services having to travel long distances. <br> This attention to expanding and facilitating access to abortion care is in direct contradiction to the approach taken by those whose focus is on decreasing abortions, and reflects a focus on optimizing and decreasing disparities in health outcomes, rather than emphasizing a goal of reducing the absolute number of abortion procedures. In addition to these benefits on the timing of abortion, improving access to abortion care would ensure that all women are able to make the decision that is best for them regarding childbearing when faced with an unintended pregnancy. It is not surprising that studies have found that restricted access to abortion services can limit women’s ability to abort a pregnancy when they wish to do so, and that these effects may be particularly pronounced for Black women and women with lower educational attainment. As unintended childbearing is associated with adverse effects, this can further exacerbate health and social disparities. Although there is a general social discomfort with conceptualizing an increase in the number of abortions as a positive outcome, consideration of the interrelated aspects of women’s reproductive health makes clear that limiting abortion does not address the largest underlying cause of abortion—unintended pregnancy—but rather only results in increasing disparities, in addition to limiting women’s ability to control their reproductive lives. * Women who continue their pregnancies should have access to quality prenatal care to help reduce disparities in birth outcomes among women of color and low-SES women compared with White women and women with more financial resources. Although public financing for prenatal care was expanded substantially in the 1980s, there continue to be documented disparities in receipt of prenatal care and in the quality of care provided, as well as disparities in maternal and infant outcomes by race and SES. Efforts to improve the accessibility and quality of these services can further ensure that all women who continue their unplanned pregnancies have the best possible pregnancy outcomes. <br> An additional consideration in supporting women who wish to continue their pregnancies is the fact that women may decide to terminate pregnancies out of a realistic assessment of the level of economic social supports available to them after a child is born. This is especially true with the presence of maximum family size policies, which deny increases in welfare benefits after the birth of additional children, in many states. Indeed, research suggests that inability to afford a(nother) child is a commonly expressed reason for seeking an abortion. Policies that provide additional economic supports for low-income parents are an important component of ensuring that women are making the reproductive decisions that are best for them. * The recent expansion of efforts to use disparities in abortion rates as a political strategy to justify limiting access to abortion has the potential to increase disparities in women’s health by increasing abortions at later gestational ages and raising rates of unintended childbirth. In addition, decreased access to abortion limits women’s ability to make the best decisions about childbearing for themselves and their families. Research and policy that recognizes the importance of all aspects of women’s reproductive health—including pregnancy prevention, abortion care, pregnancy services, and economic supports—are essential to meeting the reproductive health care needs of low-SES women and women of color. This work must recognize that, although disparities are associated with differences in individual-level factors, these factors are constrained and produced by larger structural inequities, including racism and poverty, and by a legacy of coercive reproductive health policies. === “Opposition and Intimidation: The abortion wars and strategies of political harassment” (2007) === <small> Alesha E.

The impact of those increases would be magnified by Louisiana’s requirement that every woman undergo an ultrasound and receive mandatory counseling at least 24 hours before an abortion.” * Roberts wrote a separate opinion that concurred with the majority. He referred to a 2016 court decision about a similar Texas law -- from which he had dissented. But he wrote that his hands were tied. <br> “The result in this case is controlled by our decision four years ago invalidating a nearly identical Texas law,” Roberts wrote. “The Louisiana law burdens women seeking previability abortions to the same extent as the Texas law, according to factual findings that are not clearly erroneous. For that reason, I concur in the judgment of the Court that the Louisiana law is unconstitutional.” * Ohio abortion rights proponents, such as Tam Nickerson of Cleveland’s Preterm abortion and sexual health clinic, celebrated the ruling. <br> “Today’s Supreme Court ruling ensures that clinics can keep providing care for the patients that trust us,” she said in a statement. “But it’s not enough to keep things as they are. Systemic attacks on abortion have impacted the number of clinics open across Ohio and the country, and these attacks will not stop with today’s ruling. Ohio politicians are considering many anti-abortion measures in session right now. Fortunately, today’s ruling will allow us to continue serving our patients and fighting for a world where abortion and reproductive healthcare access are even more available without shame or stigma.” * Aaron Baer, president of Citizens for Community Values, a Christian policy organization, said the decision was disappointing. <br> “The Supreme Court has put politics over the health and safety of women,” he said. “Louisiana was simply trying to hold surgical abortion facilities to the same standard as other surgical facilities. This is the definition of an undemocratic decision when five unelected judges can overrule an entire state legislature.” * Justice Clarance Thomas, in a dissent, wrote that the Louisiana clinic didn’t have standing. He argued that women don’t have a right to abortion under the privacy guarantees in the 14th Amendment. <br> “Moreover, the fact that no five Justices can agree on the proper interpretation of our precedents today evinces that our abortion jurisprudence remains in a state of utter entropy. Since the Court decided Roe, Members of this Court have decried the unworkability of our abortion case law and repeatedly called for course corrections of varying degrees,” Thomas wrote. * Justice Samuel Alito wrote a dissent for himself and Gorsuch, to disagree with part of Thomas’ dissent. Furthermore, Gorsuch wrote part of his own dissent, as did Kavanaugh. <br> “In any event, contrary to the view taken by the plurality and (seemingly) by the Chief Justice, there is ample evidence in the record showing that admitting privileges help to protect the health of women by ensuring that physicians who perform abortions meet a higher standard of competence than is shown by the mere possession of a license to practice,” Alito wrote. * Abortion rights advocates say the Louisiana law was adopted to shutter abortion clinics, like an Ohio law that requires abortion clinics to have transfer agreements with nearby hospitals. They argue the admissions credentials aren’t needed and hospitals frequently deny admitting privileges to doctors who provide abortions, for reasons ranging from ideological opposition, fear of backlash, or the fact that their patients rarely need emergency care. <br> Attorneys told the Supreme Court that implementing the Louisiana law would force closure of every abortion clinic in the state except one, and allow just one doctor in the state to perform abortions. * NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Deputy Director Jaime Miracle said Ohio’s law has forced closure of abortion clinics in Toledo and Cincinnati that couldn’t get transfer agreements with nearby hospitals. Abortion providers say the agreements are unnecessary because federal laws require hospitals to take in any patient who comes to them in an emergency. Abortion clinics are also challenging Ohio’s law in federal court. <br> The Louisiana law at issue in the case, June Medical Services v. Russo, is identical to a Texas law the court ruled unconstitutional in its 2016 Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt decision. The law’s opponents contended it should be rejected on those grounds. The attorney for June Medical Services Julie Rikelman, told the court that nothing has changed “that would justify such a legal about-face.” <br> “The lack of benefits of these laws is not state-dependent,” Rikelman said when the case was argued in March. “The medical consensus is clear that in no state do they serve health and safety benefits. And, in fact, even the federal government a few months ago removed an admitting privileges requirement from its regulations of surgery centers nationwide, finding that the requirement is medically unnecessary and imposes burdens.” * Louisiana Solicitor General Elizabeth Murrill told the court her state’s law and regulatory structure are different from the Texas law that was overturned. <br> “Louisiana’s decision to require abortion providers to have admitting privileges was iustified by abundant evidence of life-threatening health and safety violations, malpractice, noncompliance with professional licensing rules, legislative testimony from post-abortive women, testimony from doctors who took care of abortion providers’ abandoned patients,” Murrill argued. “Doctors and healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are heavily regulated for ethics reasons and for consumer protection.” <br> She said the record showed that abortion doctors who applied for privileges at hospitals “can get privileges, they did get privileges.” <br> “These doctors should not be able to challenge a regulation that protects people -- that -- that is intended to protect a class of people from a certain type of activity,” said Murrill. “It’s health and safety regulations.” === "Alabama Lawmakers Move To Outlaw Abortion In Challenge To Roe V.

The legislation is part of a broader anti-abortion strategy to prompt the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider the right to abortion. <br> Republican state Rep. Terri Collins of Decatur, Ala., defended her "Human Life Protection Act" during at times contentious debate on the House floor. <br> "This bill is focused on that baby that's in the womb that is a person," Collins said. "That baby, I believe, would choose life." * Democratic lawmakers walked out in protest before the final 74-3 vote. During debate, they questioned the motive for an abortion ban in a state that has refused to expand Medicaid. "I do support life, but there are some people that just support birth, they don't support life," said Democratic Rep. Merika Coleman of Birmingham, Ala. "Because after a child is born there are some things that need to happen. We need to make sure that child has adequate health care," Coleman said. * "When a woman is pregnant, an abortion is no longer legal," says Collins, explaining the bill. <br> The bill criminalizes abortion, meaning doctors would face felony jail time up to 99 years if convicted. The only exceptions are for a serious health risk to the pregnant woman or a lethal anomaly of the fetus. There are no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. A woman would not be held criminally liable for having an abortion. <br> Collins says the bill follows a constitutional amendment approved by Alabama voters last year that recognizes the "rights of unborn children." It defies the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision that protects a woman's right to abortion. <br> "This bill is simply about Roe v. Wade," says Collins. "The decision that was made back in 1973 would not be the same decision that was decided upon today if you relooked at the issue." * Alabama Pro-Life Coalition President Eric Johnston says there's a reason there's so much activity now. "The dynamic has changed," Johnston says. "The judges have changed, a lot of changes over that time, and so I think we're at the point where we need to take a bigger and a bolder step." The bold move to outlaw nearly all abortions is drawing protests from abortion-rights advocates. <br> A coalition called Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity demonstrated outside the Alabama State House last month. <br> "This bill is an awful piece of grandstanding," said Amanda Reyes of Tuscaloosa, Ala. She is president of the Yellowhammer Fund, a group that helps women pay for abortions. "If you make abortion illegal somewhere that doesn't mean that abortion goes away," says Reyes. "It just becomes more difficult and more dangerous to access." * The bill is expected to win final passage in the Republican-majority Alabama Senate. The ACLU of Alabama says it will sue if the abortion ban becomes law. <br> Executive Director Randall Marshall says the bill is unconstitutional. "There is simply nothing that Alabama can do to interfere with the right of access to abortion," Marshall says. "That is a federal right and the federal Constitution clearly trumps all state law." === “Abortion Debate” (2008) === <small> Farrell, Courtney (2008).

ABDO Publishing Company. </small> * When a woman gets an abortion, she is intentionally ending her pregnancy. Since abortion ends a developing human life, it is a sensitive subject. Some people are so opposed to abortion that they believe it should be illegal. Others believe a woman should have the right to make the choice of whether to have an abortion. <br> The question of abortion is a question about rights. Activists choose sides in the conflict depending on whose rights they most passionately defend. The fetus, the pregnant woman, her male partner, and the couple’s parents all have advocates who defend their rights. In this debate, we see democracy in action. <br> Almost half of the pregnancies that occur in the United States are not planned. Approximately 40 percent of these pregnancies end in abortion. In other cases, mothers who may have been troubled by their pregnancies grow to love their babies. Still, 10 percent of newborn babies are reported as unwanted. Some situations are resolved by adoptive parents raising the baby. Other babies, often those of drug addicts or rape victims, are abandoned at hospitals. These babies receive care as wards of the state and eventually are put up for adoption. Children with physical and emotional disabilities are not likely to be adopted and are raised in orphanages. <br> Should abortion be a choice? Opinions differ, but one-third of U.S. women will have had an abortion by age 45. ** Chapter 1 “A Sensitive Subject”, pp. 6–7. * A 1327 English law made abortion legal at any time during pregnancy. In England, abortion was still legal by 1670, but the American colonies had different rules. In the colonies, abortion was illegal, though it did not carry as severe a penalty as murder. ** p.18 * Records from early America reveal a society quite different from the morally strict one often portrayed in stories. Although the colonies were founded by stern religious groups sex before marriage was not uncommon. Records detailed marriages and births in the colonies. They also revealed that, before 1680, 3 percent of newly married women gave birth within six months of their marriage, and 8 percent had babies in fewer than nine months from their wedding day. This trend continued over time, and from 1760-1800, one-third of all brides gave birth to their first child in less than nine months of marriage. There was little dishonor in this, and even when unmarried women had babies, they could become “respectable” by marrying the baby’s father. <br> Colonial law stated that a single woman could say the name of her baby’s father while she was in labor, and the court would automatically believe her. This practice stemmed from the danger of dying in childbirth in a time before Cesarean surgical births were possible. In the deeply religious colonies, it was believed a woman would never lie before possibly meeting God. <br> If the father of the baby was already married, or unwilling to marry the mother, the couple faced disgrace. Although the father would be ordered to pay child support, many women were desperate to avoid dishonor. ** ”Abortion From Past to Present”, pp.19-20 * In colonial times, surgical abortions were so dangerous, women almost never survived them. But many substances to bring about abortions were known. Depending on the amount used, these could accidentally kill both the mother and the fetus, kill only the fetus, or fail to work at all. ** ”Abortion From Past to Present”, p.20 * During the 1800s, American cities were growing. Many young people left their rural villages and traveled to cities in search of work. This trend had the side effect of removing many young people form the influence of their families. When single women became pregnant, there was no less pressure from the community for the issue to be resolved by marriage. <br> Although many churches opposed it, abortion was legal in most places in America during the nineteenth century. Midwives often prescribed herbs that would cause abortions, and advertisements for tonics that promised to cure “menstrual blockages” were common in publications of the time. American courts first took up the issue in 1812, in the “Commonwealth v. Bangs” case. In “Bangs”, the Massachusetts Supreme Court pronounced abortion legal, but only before quickening-the time when the mother could feel the fetus moving. At this point society had not addressed the question of the rights of the unborn. Laws were passed primarily to protect women’s lives. Many women were injured or killed each year either by abortion-inducing drugs or by surgical abortions performed by inept folk healers. ** ”Abortion From Past to Present”, pp.21-22 * In response to an 1859 AMA resolution against abortion, state laws began banning abortion. At this point in time, there was no pro-life movement. Abortion was banned mainly because it was unsafe. By 1890, abortion was illegal throughout most of the United States. However, despite a ban in Michigan, in 1882 doctors in that state reported that 17 to 32 percent of all pregnancies were still aborted. ** ”Abortion From Past to Present”, pp.22-23 * By 1900, abortion was illegal in all states except Kentucky, though it was only allowed in cases when it was necessary to maintain the life or health of the mother. These special cases were called “therapeutic abortions.” However, it was up to the physician to determine when an abortion was necessary. Some doctors interpreted the law loosely, especially in cases involving wealthy women or those with connections to the medical profession. <br> Although abortion was illegal, enforcement of the law was weak, and women were rarely brought to trial. In 1904, a Chicago doctor reported that 10 to 13 percent of all pregnancies in the city were ending in abortion. ** ”Abortion From Past to Present”, p.23 * Since all legal abortions were supposed to be therapeutic, hospitals limited the number of abortions they would perform. If an abortion was necessary to preserve the woman’s health, she was often required to be made sterile to prevent her from ever getting pregnant again. Therapeutic abortions for poor women were denied more often than those for wealthy ones. ** p.32 * Despite the pill, many unintended pregnancies still ended in illegal abortions. Women often died as a result of illegal abortions, often performed by abortionists who were not doctors. The problem was worse for women of color. In the early 1960s in New York City, one out of four child-birth related deaths among white women was caused by abortion but abortion caused half of such deaths among nonwhite women. ** pp.33-34 === "Reasons U.S. Women Have Abortions: Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives" (2005) === <small> Finer, Lawrence B.; Frohwirth, Lori F.; Dauphinee, Lindsay A.; Singh, Susheela; Moore, Ann M. (2005). "Reasons U.S. Women Have Abortions: Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives" (PDF). Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. 37 (3): 110–18. </small> * RESULTS: The reasons most frequently cited were that having a child would interfere with a woman’s education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents’ or partners’ desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents. <br> CONCLUSIONS: The decision to have an abortion is typically motivated by multiple, diverse and interrelated reasons. The themes of responsibility to others and resource limitations, such as financial constraints and lack of partner sup-port, recurred throughout the study. ** p.110 * Public discussion about abortion in the United States has generally focused on policy: who should be allowed to have abortions, and under what circumstances. Receiving less attention are the women behind the statistics—the 1.3 million women who obtain abortions each year1—and their reasons for having abortions. While a small proportion of women who have abortions do so because of health concerns or fetal anomalies, the large majority choose termination in response to an unintended pregnancy. However, “unintended pregnancy” does not fully capture the reasons and life circumstances that lie behind a woman’s decision to obtain an abortion. What personal, familial, social and economic factors lead to the decision to end a pregnancy? <br> The research into U.S. women’s reasons for having abortions has been limited. In a 1985 study of 500 women in Kansas, unreadiness to parent was the reason most often given for having an abortion, followed by lack of financial resources and absence of a partner. In 1987, a survey of1,900 women at large abortion providers across the country found that women’s most common reasons for having an abortion were that having a baby would interfere with school, work or other responsibilities, and that they could not afford a child. Since 1987, little research in this area has been conducted in the United States, but studies done in Scandinavia and worldwide have found several recur-ring motivations: economic hardship, partner difficulties and unreadiness for parenting. An extensive literature (both quantitative and qualitative) examines how women make the decision to have an abortion or a birth. Here, we focus on women who have already made the decision to have an abortion. <br> Why revisit this topic? One compelling reason is that the abortion rate declined by 22% between 1987 and 2002, and another is that the demographic characteristics of reproductive-age women in general and of abortion patients in particular have changed since 1987. For example, the proportion of abortion patients who have already had one or more children has increased, as have the proportions who are aged 30 or older, who are nonwhite and who are cohabiting. In addition, between 1994 and 2000, the proportion of women having abortions who were poor in-creased. Because social and demographic characteristics may be associated with motivations for having an abortion, it is important to reassess the reasons why women choose to terminate a pregnancy. <br> A better understanding of these motivations can inform public opinion and prevent or correct misperceptions. Like-wise, a fuller appraisal of the life circumstances within which women decide to have an abortion bears directly on the issue of public funding for abortions and provides evidence of how increasing legal and financial constraints on access to abortion may affect women’s lives. ** p.110 * Most women in every age, parity, relationship, racial, income and education category cited concern for or responsibility to other individuals as a factor in their decision to have an abortion. In contrast to the perception (voiced by politicians and laypeople across the ideological spectrum) that women who choose abortion for reasons other than rape, incest and life endangerment do so for “convenience,”our data suggest that after care-fully assessing their individual situations, women base their decisions largely on their ability to maintain economic stability and to care for the children they already have. <br> In addition, the topic of women’s limited resources, such as financial constraints and lack of partner support, regularly appeared in the survey and interview responses. A large majority of women cited financial hardship, often along with other reasons. Financial problems, exacerbated by other forms of instability, limit women’s ability to provide sufficient support to additional children. The concept of responsibility is inseparable from the theme of limited resources; given their present circumstances, respondents considered their decision to have an abortion the most responsible action. The fact that many women cited financial limitations as a reason for ending a pregnancy suggests that further restrictions on public assistance to families could contribute to a continued increase in abortions among the most disadvantaged women. <br> Although these concerns appeared among all groups, different groups of women gave diverse reasons for having abortions. Younger women who had not begun their child-bearing often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women, the large majority of whom were already mothers, regularly cited their responsibility to children or other dependents as a key factor behind the decision to have an abortion. <br> Only a small proportion of women cited concerns about their own health. However, the qualitative results showed that these concerns encompassed not just risks to future health, but also the health burden of pregnancy itself. They further revealed how health concerns are linked to the concept of responsibility: Some women saw the physical bur-den of pregnancy and its associated health conditions as threatening their ability to fulfill responsibilities to dependents. Others underscored the importance of appropriate birth spacing for their own health and for the health and economic security of their children. ** pp.117-118 * In light of the public debate over the morality of abortion, it is notable that the women in our survey emphasized their conscious examination of the moral aspects of their decisions. Although some described abortion as sinful and wrong, many of those same women, and others, described the indiscriminate bearing of children as a sin, and their abortion as “the right thing” and “a responsible choice.” Respondents often acknowledged the complexity of the decision, and described an intense and difficult process of deciding to have an abortion, which took into account the moral weight of their responsibilities to their families, them-selves and children they might have in the future. ** p.118 * Some advocates have used highly selective samples to claim that the majority of women having abortions are coerced into the decision. Such claims suggest that women lack control over their own lives, but our findings attest that women independently make the decision to have an abortion. The proportion of women citing influence from partners or parents is small (and has declined since 1987), and fewer than 1% of respondents indicated that this influence was their most important reason. ** p.118 * The fact that an increasing proportion of women having abortions are poor underscores the importance of public assistance for family planning programs as an effective means of reducing the incidence of both unintended pregnancy and abortion. ** p.118 === "Study: Abortions Are Safe When Performed By Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Certified Nurse Midwives" (1/2013) === <small> Elizabeth Fernandez, [https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2013/01/98759/study-abortions-are-safe-when-performed-nurse-practitioners-physician-assistants "Study: Abortions Are Safe When Performed By Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Certified Nurse Midwives"]. UCSF, (1/2013) </small> * Nationally, 92 percent of abortions take place in the first trimester but studies find that black, uninsured and low-income women continue to have less access to this care, according to the researchers. <br> In California, 13 percent of women using state Medicaid insurance obtain abortions after the first trimester. Because the average cost of a second trimester abortion is substantially higher than a first trimester procedure and abortion complications increase as the pregnancy advances, shifting the population distribution of abortions to earlier gestations may result in safer, less costly care, according to the research team. * “Increasing the types of health care professionals who can provide early aspiration abortion care is one way to reduce this health care disparity,’’ said lead author Tracy Weitz, PhD, MPA, a UCSF associate professor and director of Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health at the UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health. “Policy makers can now feel confident that expanding access to care in this way is evidence-based and will promote women’s health.’’ <br> Currently, non-physicians are allowed to perform aspiration abortions in four states: Montana, Oregon, New Hampshire and Vermont. In other states, non-physician clinicians are permitted to perform medication but not aspiration abortions. In recent years, in an effort to limit abortion availability, several states have put laws on the books to prohibit non-physician clinicians from performing abortions. * In the study, 40 nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician assistants from four Planned Parenthood affiliates and from Kaiser Permanente of Northern California were trained to perform aspiration abortions. They were compared to a group of nearly 100 physicians, who had a mean of 14 years of experience providing abortions. <br> Altogether, 5,675 abortions were performed in the study by nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician assistants, compared to 5,812 abortions by physicians. The abortions were performed between August 2007 and August 2011 at 22 clinical facilities in California. <br> The researchers found that both groups of abortion providers had few complications – less than 2 percent, including incomplete abortions, minor infection and pain. Statistically, according to the researchers, the complication rates were not different between the two groups of providers. * “The value of this study extends beyond the question of who can safely perform aspiration abortion services in California because it provides an example of how research can be used to answer relevant health care policy issues,’’ said study co-author Diana Taylor, PhD, RNP, professor emeritus in the UCSF School of Nursing. “As the U.S. demand for cost-effective health care increases, workforce development has become a key component of health care reform. All qualified health professionals should perform clinical care to the fullest extent of their education and competency.’’ === "Abortion Incidence and Services in the United States in 2000" (2003) === <small> Finer, L.B.; Henshaw, S.K.

[https://web.archive.org/web/20160122204324/http:/www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/3500603.html Archived] from the original on 22 January 2016. </small> * RESULTS: From 1996 to 2000, the number of abortions fell by 3% to 1.31 million, and the abortion rate declined 5% to 21.3 per 1,000 women 15-44. (In comparison, the rate declined 12% between 1992 and 1996.) The abortion ratio in 2000 was 24.5 per 100 pregnancies ending in abortion or live birth, 5% lower than in 1996. The number of abortion providers decreased by 11% to 1,819 (46% were clinics, 33% hospitals and 21% physicians' offices); clinics provided 93% of all abortions in 2000. In that year, 34% of women aged 15-44 lived in the 87% of counties with no provider, and 86 of the nation's 276 metropolitan areas had no provider. About 600 providers performed an estimated 37,000 early medical abortions during the first six months of 2001; these procedures represented approximately 6% of all abortions during that period. Abortions performed by dilation and extraction were estimated to account for 0.17% of all abortions in 2000. * Induced abortion, one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States, is experienced by a substantial proportion of American women. More than one-fifth of all pregnancies end in abortion, a reflection of the fact that almost half of U.S. pregnancies are unintended. Trends in abortion may reflect a number of factors, such as variations in the underlying incidence of unintended pregnancy and changes in how women resolve unplanned pregnancies and in the availability or accessibility of abortion services. Therefore, regular and accurate estimates of abortion incidence and service provision are essential for monitoring trends in reproductive behavior. <br> After remaining fairly steady for most of the 1980s, the number of abortions in the United States declined from a high of 1.61 million in 1990 to 1.36 million in 1996, the last year for which comprehensive abortion incidence data were collected. The abortion rate declined from 29.3 per 1,000 women aged 15-44 in 1980 and 27.4 in 1990 to 22.4 in 1996. The abortion ratio (the proportion of pregnancies ending in abortion) also fell during the early and mid-1990s. These declines meant that in the mid-1990s, measures of abortion reached the lowest levels since the 1970s. * Meanwhile, a continuing decline in the number of providers could result in more limited access to abortion services. The number of U.S. abortion providers fell from a high of 2,900 in 1982 to about 2,000 in 1996, and the proportion of counties without a provider increased from 77% in 1978 to 86% in 1996. A 1997 survey of obstetricians and gynecologists who perform abortions indicated that 57% were aged 50 or older, fueling the perception that the number of providers will decline drastically as current providers reach retirement age. However, some evidence indicates that training opportunities for providers have begun to increase. * The number of abortions in the United States declined 3% between 1996 and 2000, from 1.36 million to 1.31 million. This was the lowest number of abortions since 1976. The abortion rate also declined through 2000, reaching 21.3 abortions per 1,000 women 15-44 in that year. This figure represents a 5% drop over the four-year interval and is the lowest rate since 1974. The abortion ratio declined to 24.5 abortions per 100 pregnancies ending in abortion or live birth in 2000; this also represents a 5% drop since 1996 and the lowest figure since 1974. Including estimated miscarriages, 21% of all pregnancies in 2000 ended in abortion (not shown). <br> The number of abortions and abortion rates vary widely by region and state of occurrence. Six states that account for 40% of women aged 15-44—California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas—accounted for 55% of all abortions in 2000. Rates were highest in New Jersey and New York, and were relatively high (above 30 per 1,000 women 15-44) in California, Delaware, Florida and Nevada. The states with the fewest abortions—South Dakota, North Dakota and Wyoming—are largely rural states and have relatively small populations. The lowest rates were in Kentucky, South Dakota and Wyoming; Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Utah and West Virginia also had low rates (seven or fewer per 1,000 women 15-44). Among the 25 states with the largest populations of women 15-44, the lowest abortion rate was in Kentucky. <br> Between 1996 and 2000, the abortion rate declined in every region of the country, but changes varied by region and, even more so, by state. The abortion rate declined in 35 states and the District of Columbia; the greatest percentage decreases occurred in Kentucky and Wyoming. Percentage changes are most meaningful in states with the greatest number of abortions, since small absolute changes in states with few abortions can result in large percentage shifts. Among the states reporting at least 10,000 abortions in 1996, the largest declines occurred in Massachusetts and Missouri. The abortion rate increased in 15 states. The largest percentage increase occurred in Delaware, and the largest increase among states with at least 10,000 abortions in 1996 occurred in Kansas (15%). * A total of 1,819 providers performed at least one abortion in 2000—11% fewer than in 1996. In comparison, the number of providers declined by 14% from 1992 to 1996. The number of providers in 2000 was 37% lower than the all-time high of 2,908 in 1982 (not shown). * Abortion providers were located in 404 of the 3,141 U.S. counties in 2000. Overall, 87% of counties had no provider of abortions. More than 90% of counties in the Midwest and South had no abortion provider; outside of these regions, the only states with no provider in at least 90% of counties were Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. <br> Although the vast majority of counties had no provider, only 34% of women aged 15-44 in 2000 lived in counties with no abortion providers, because many of these have relatively small populations. However, nearly half of women in the Midwest (49%) and South (45%) lived in counties that lacked abortion services. In 19 states in these regions, at least half of women lived in counties without an abortion provider. However, in six states in the same regions—Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and Texas (and the District of Columbia)—fewer than one-third lived in counties with no provider. Fewer than one in five women in the Northeast and West lived in counties without an abortion provider; the proportion was less than one-third in 13 states in these regions and more than one-half in only three. * The proportion of counties with no abortion provider in 2000 (87%) changed little compared with that in 1996 (86%), but remained higher than the proportion in 1978 (77%). In addition, the proportion of counties with no provider of 400 or more abortions per year has changed little over time, indicating that the drop in counties with providers has been concentrated in those where providers perform fewer than 400 abortions per year. <br> Most abortion providers are located in metropolitan areas: 94% of all providers and 99% of those who performed 400 or more abortions in 2000 (not shown). Even so, 61% of counties in metropolitan areas had no abortion provider, and 70% had no large provider. Of nonmetropolitan counties, 97% had no provider, and virtually all lacked a provider of at least 400 abortions per year. <br> Overall, the proportion of women living in a county without a provider increased from 27% in 1978 to 30% in 1985 and 34% in 2000. However, figures based on comparable metropolitan classifications indicate that the proportion of women with no provider in their county increased from 1978 to 1996 in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties, but changed only slightly between 1996 and 2000. There was no change during the 1990s in the proportion of women in metropolitan areas living in counties with no large provider, although the levels were slightly greater than those in 1978 and 1985. Almost all women in nonmetropolitan counties have lived without a large abortion provider. * Between 1996 and 2000, the U.S. abortion rate fell 5%, a decline less than half as steep as that seen between 1992 and 1996 (12%). The number of abortion providers continued to decline between 1996 and 2000, at a rate slightly lower than that during 1992-1996. The 1996-2000 period saw the continuing consolidation of abortion provision at clinics, particularly specialized clinics; only 7% of abortions in 2000 were performed in nonclinic facilities. This trend may be partially due to increasing legal constraints on the circumstances under which abortions may be performed, such as zoning rules and state licensing and inspection requirements. Specialized clinics may be better able to deal with new restrictions than physicians' offices and nonspecialized clinics, which may not be willing or able to undertake the expenses and time required to comply with them. This factor may be most relevant in South Carolina and Mississippi, where new licensing laws have created burdensome requirements for small providers; at least one South Carolina provider has reportedly closed in response to the new regulations. * For most American women, access to abortion is directly tied to where they live. Only 3% of nonmetropolitan counties have a provider, and almost none of those providers performed more than 400 abortions in 2000. Of metropolitan counties, only 30% have a large abortion provider. Surprisingly, although the proportion of nonmetropolitan counties with a provider has declined, the proportion of women in nonmetropolitan counties with a provider appears to have increased slightly, probably because of population shifts toward counties with providers. In metropolitan areas, the proportion of women living in counties with providers has changed little. <br> The Northeast and West are characterized by higher abortion rates and greater access to providers than are the Midwest and South, and also by more supportive laws regarding abortion. In some states, abortion decreases may be due to regulatory requirements placed on women seeking abortion. For example, in Wisconsin, the imposition of a two-day delay law may have contributed to the 21% decline in the abortion rate (although women there may increasingly have gone to Illinois, particularly Chicago, to obtain abortions). In other states, rates may decline because many women travel out of state to have abortions. This may occur when the barriers to obtaining an abortion—such as gestational limits or other restrictions, or expense—are lower in neighboring states. * In the past, the U.S. abortion rate has been distinctly higher than the rate in other industrialized countries. Although the U.S. rate (21.3 per 1,000 women 15-44) is still higher than those in many western European countries, it is now within the range of rates in a few other developed countries, such as Sweden (18.7) and Australia (22.2). Furthermore, U.S. rates vary by women's ethnicity and socioeconomic standing; the rate among white non-Hispanic women is in the middle range of other developed countries, but other ethnic groups have higher rates. Moreover, poor and near-poor women have rates roughly twice as high as their wealthier counterparts. <br> This article has documented current levels of abortion and abortion service provision. More research needs to be done both to understand why abortion service provision is changing and the impact on women of the small number and geographic concentration of providers. In addition, further work is needed to determine the causes of declines in the abortion rate. Increasing use of emergency contraception appears to have been a major contributor in recent years: An estimated 51,000 pregnancies were averted by emergency contraception in 2000, accounting for 43% of the decrease in abortions since 1994. Contraceptive use trends through 1995—improvements in use (e.g., a shift to greater use of long-acting, highly effective methods) and reductions in the proportion of women using no method—may have continued. The abortion rate decline between 1994 and 2000 was greatest among teenagers. Both a decline in sexual activity among adolescents and increased use of contraceptives at first intercourse contribute to decreasing pregnancy and abortion rates among adolescents. * With more than one in five U.S. pregnancies ending in abortion, it is clear that American women are becoming pregnant far more often than they desire. More than half of these pregnancies occur among women who had difficulty using contraceptive methods effectively or who experienced method failure, and nearly half occur among the minority of sexually active women who use no contraceptives, reflecting the high rate of pregnancy among this group.37 The challenge of reducing U.S. abortion rates without increasing unintended births requires action on several fronts, but foremost among these are increasing (and increasing the effectiveness of) contraceptive use by sexually active women and their partners, improving access to contraceptive services for those who are disadvantaged and ensuring the availability of a broader range of more-effective and user-friendly contraceptive methods. === "Reasons U.S. Women Have Abortions: Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives" (2005) === <small> Finer, L.B.; Frohwirth, L.F.; Dauphinee, L.A.; Singh, S.; Moore, A.

PMID 16150658. Archived from the original on 7 January 2012. </small> * RESULTS: The reasons most frequently cited were that having a child would interfere with a woman's education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents' or partners' desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents. <br> CONCLUSIONS: The decision to have an abortion is typically motivated by multiple, diverse and interrelated reasons. The themes of responsibility to others and resource limitations, such as financial constraints and lack of partner support, recurred throughout the study. * Public discussion about abortion in the United States has generally focused on policy: who should be allowed to have abortions, and under what circumstances. Receiving less attention are the women behind the statistics—the 1.3 million women who obtain abortions each year1—and their reasons for having abortions. While a small proportion of women who have abortions do so because of health concerns or fetal anomalies, the large majority choose termination in response to an unintended pregnancy.2 However, "unintended pregnancy" does not fully capture the reasons and life circumstances that lie behind a woman's decision to obtain an abortion. What personal, familial, social and economic factors lead to the decision to end a pregnancy? <br> The research into U.S. women's reasons for having abortions has been limited. In a 1985 study of 500 women in Kansas, unreadiness to parent was the reason most often given for having an abortion, followed by lack of financial resources and absence of a partner.3 In 1987, a survey of 1,900 women at large abortion providers across the country found that women's most common reasons for having an abortion were that having a baby would interfere with school, work or other responsibilities, and that they could not afford a child.4 Since 1987, little research in this area has been conducted in the United States, but studies done in Scandinavia and worldwide have found several recurring motivations: economic hardship, partner difficulties and unreadiness for parenting. An extensive literature (both quantitative and qualitative) examines how women make the decision to have an abortion or a birth. Here, we focus on women who have already made the decision to have an abortion. <br> Why revisit this topic? One compelling reason is that the abortion rate declined by 22% between 1987 and 2002, and another is that the demographic characteristics of reproductive-age women in general and of abortion patients in particular have changed since 1987. For example, the proportion of abortion patients who have already had one or more children has increased, as have the proportions who are aged 30 or older, who are nonwhite and who are cohabiting. In addition, between 1994 and 2000, the proportion of women having abortions who were poor increased. Because social and demographic characteristics may be associated with motivations for having an abortion, it is important to reassess the reasons why women choose to terminate a pregnancy. * Respondents to the structured survey of reasons for abortion were not substantially different from a nationally representative sample of abortion patients surveyed in 2000 in terms of age, marital status, parity, income, education, race or gestation. Twenty percent were 19 or younger, and 57% were in their 20s. Seventy-two percent had never been married, and 59% had had at least one child. Some 60% were below 200% of the federal poverty line, including 30% who were living in poverty (not shown). More than half had attended college or received a college degree. Thirty-one percent of respondents were black, and 19% were Hispanic. (Four percent completed the questionnaire in Spanish.) Sixty-one percent were at fewer than nine weeks of gestation, and 85% were at fewer than 13 weeks. <br> However, the characteristics of abortion patients had changed between 1987 and 2000, and these changes were reflected in the 1987 and 2004 surveys of reasons for abortion. For example, the proportion who were mothers increased from 48% to 61% in the nationally representative surveys carried out in 1987 and 2000; a similar increase (from 42% to 59%) was seen between the 1987 and 2004 surveys of reasons. The median age of respondents was 23.0 in the 1987 survey of reasons and 24.1 in 2004 (not shown). Fifty percent of women were below 200% of the federal poverty level in the 1987 survey of reasons, while in 2004, 60% were below this level. Also, the proportion who were Hispanic rose from 7% in 1987 to 19% in 2004. * Reasons in 2004. Among the structured survey respondents, the two most common reasons were "having a baby would dramatically change my life" and "I can't afford a baby now" (cited by 74% and 73%, respectively). A large proportion of women cited relationship problems or a desire to avoid single motherhood (48%). Nearly four in 10 indicated that they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third said they were not ready to have a child. Women also cited possible problems affecting the health of the fetus or concerns about their own health (13% and 12%, respectively). Respondents wrote in a number of specific health reasons, from chronic or debilitating conditions such as cancer and cystic fibrosis to pregnancy-specific concerns such as gestational diabetes and morning sickness. <br> The most common subreason given was that the woman could not afford a baby now because she was unmarried (42%). Thirty-eight percent indicated that having a baby would interfere with their education, and the same proportion said it would interfere with their employment. In a related vein, 34% said they could not afford a child because they were students or were planning to study. * [T]he proportion of women indicating that they had completed their desired childbearing increased substantially (and significantly) between 1987 and 2004, from 28% to 38%. To assess whether this shift was due to a change in mothers' propensity to give this reason (in addition to the change in population composition described earlier), we stratified this analysis by both survey year and whether the woman had any children. The findings showed that mothers in 2004 were more likely to report this reason than were mothers in 1987 (not shown). Thus, the overall increase likely reflected both a rise in the proportion of abortion patients who were already mothers and an increased tendency of mothers to give this reason. * Financial difficulties. Higher proportions of women who were unmarried or cohabiting, nonwhite, poorer and unemployed said they could not afford to have a child now, compared with their respective counterparts. This reason was also more commonly given by young teenagers and women aged 20–24. Some of these social and demographic characteristics likely have overlapping influence. For example, young women are likely to be unmarried, and poor women are likely to be unemployed. In the multivariate analysis, marital status and both economic variables remained significant: Women who were married, who were in the highest income category and who were employed had reduced odds of saying they could not afford a baby (odds ratios, 0.4–0.6). * A cross-cutting theme was women's responsibility to children and other dependents, as well as considerations about children they may have in the future. Most women in every age, parity, relationship, racial, income and education category cited concern for or responsibility to other individuals as a factor in their decision to have an abortion. In contrast to the perception (voiced by politicians and laypeople across the ideological spectrum) that women who choose abortion for reasons other than rape, incest and life endangerment do so for "convenience,"13 our data suggest that after carefully assessing their individual situations, women base their decisions largely on their ability to maintain economic stability and to care for the children they already have. <br> In addition, the topic of women's limited resources, such as financial constraints and lack of partner support, regularly appeared in the survey and interview responses. A large majority of women cited financial hardship, often along with other reasons. Financial problems, exacerbated by other forms of instability, limit women's ability to provide sufficient support to additional children. The concept of responsibility is inseparable from the theme of limited resources; given their present circumstances, respondents considered their decision to have an abortion the most responsible action. The fact that many women cited financial limitations as a reason for ending a pregnancy suggests that further restrictions on public assistance to families could contribute to a continued increase in abortions among the most disadvantaged women. * In light of the public debate over the morality of abortion, it is notable that the women in our survey emphasized their conscious examination of the moral aspects of their decisions. Although some described abortion as sinful and wrong, many of those same women, and others, described the indiscriminate bearing of children as a sin, and their abortion as "the right thing" and "a responsible choice." Respondents often acknowledged the complexity of the decision, and described an intense and difficult process of deciding to have an abortion, which took into account the moral weight of their responsibilities to their families, themselves and children they might have in the future. === "Rates of serious infection after changes in regimens for medical abortion" (July 9, 2009) === <small> Fjerstad, Mary; Trussell, James; Sivin, Irving; Lichtenberg, E. Steve; Cullins, Vanessa (July 9, 2009).[ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3568698/ "Rates of serious infection after changes in regimens for medical abortion"]. New England Journal of Medicine. 361 (2): 145–151. </small> * From 2001 through March 2006, Planned Parenthood health centers throughout the United States provided medical abortion (abortion by means of medication) principally by a regimen of oral mifepristone followed 24 to 48 hours later by vaginal misoprostol. In response to concern about serious infections, in early 2006 Planned Parenthood changed the route of misoprostol administration from vaginal to buccal and required either routine provision of antibiotics or universal screening and treatment for chlamydia; in July 2007, Planned Parenthood began requiring routine treatment with antibiotics for all medical abortions. * Rates of serious infection dropped significantly after the joint change to buccal misoprostol from vaginal misoprostol and to either testing for sexually transmitted infection or routine provision of antibiotics as part of the medical abortion regimen. The rate declined 73%, from 0.93 per 1000 abortions to 0.25 per 1000 (absolute reduction, 0.67 per 1000; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.44 to 0.94; P<0.001). The subsequent change to routine provision of antibiotics led to a further significant reduction in the rate of serious infection — a 76% decline, from 0.25 per 1000 abortions to 0.06 per 1000 (absolute reduction, 0.19 per 1000; 95% CI, 0.02 to 0.34; P = 0.03). <br> CONCLUSIONS <br> The rate of serious infection after medical abortion declined by 93% after a change from vaginal to buccal administration of misoprostol combined with routine administration of antibiotics. * The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is a federation of 97 independent local affiliates operating 880 health centers throughout the United States; roughly 300 of those health centers provide medical abortion. In 2008, a total of 96,738 women received medical abortions (abortion by means of medication), representing 32% of first-trimester abortions in Planned Parenthood health centers. Extensive data gathering during the use of mifepristone and vaginal misoprostol indicated that efficacy (successful medical abortion without the need for surgical intervention) was 98.5%; a subsequent audit of abortions performed with the use of buccal rather than vaginal misoprostol showed virtually identical efficacy. <br> Antibiotics have been routinely administered at the time of surgical abortions since the publication of a meta-analysis showing that their use resulted in a 42% reduction in postabortion infection rates. When medical abortion was first introduced, there was little concern about the risk of infection, because there is no use of instruments in the cervix or uterus unless the procedure fails. However, it is clear that serious infections do occur. <br> Data are lacking to compare the rates of serious infection with antibiotic treatment and the rates without such treatment among women undergoing medical abortion. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that it “does not have sufficient information to recommend the use of prophylactic antibiotics for women having a medical abortion.”The current American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Practice Bulletin on medical abortion states that no data exist to support the routine use of preventive antibiotics for medical abortion. * By late 2005, four women in the United States and one in Canada had died from a rare bacterial infection, with Clostridium sordellii, after medical abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol.9 In contrast, no such deaths had been reported in Europe, where medical abortion had been available longer and far more women had used it. One hypothesis for the difference was that vaginal administration of misoprostol was very common in the United States but not so common in Europe. Another hypothesis was that periprocedural antibiotics were routinely provided in the United Kingdom but not in the United States. * The provisions of FDA approval stipulate that any physician who orders, provides, or supervises the provision of mifepristone must sign an agreement with the sole U.S. distributor of mifepristone (Danco Laboratories) to report all serious adverse events associated with its use. Serious adverse events include all ongoing pregnancies (pregnancies that continue after the use of mifepristone or misoprostol), hemorrhage requiring emergency treatment, serious infections, hospitalizations, potentially life-threatening events, and death. Danco submits all such reports to the FDA. Staff members at Planned Parenthood health centers were trained in accurate and complete reporting of serious adverse events. Adverse-event reports are centrally tracked and monitored. Planned Parenthood health centers are audited on site for internal accreditation by the PPFA. Since 2005, concurrent with the starting date of our analysis, the accreditation process has included auditing to verify that adverse events related to the use of mifepristone for medical abortions are submitted as required. * During the course of the study, 243,692 women underwent medical abortion at Planned Parenthood centers. After the exclusion of 15,869 women who did not meet eligibility criteria (<7%), the analysis population included 227,823 women, among whom 92 serious infections were reported. * We observed significant and clinically important reductions in the risk of serious infections among patients who had undergone medical abortion after a change from vaginal to buccal administration of misoprostol and after the adoption of routine preventive treatment with antibiotics. Although the observational design of our study precludes a determination of cause and effect, it is plausible that the changes in practice patterns could explain the reductions in the rate of serious infection. Because PPFA instituted more than one measure at a time, it is difficult to estimate from our analyses the relative values of different interventions. However, the fact that Planned Parenthood health centers adopted two infection-reduction measures in Period 2 allows further exploration of this issue. * Although a randomized clinical trial would be the preferred approach to determine whether the use of buccal rather than vaginal administration of misoprostol might reduce the rate of serious infection and whether a strategy of routine antibiotic coverage is superior to a strategy of screening before treating, this study design would not have been feasible. Given the low rates of serious infection, such a design would have required a prohibitively large sample. The large population that receives care at Planned Parenthood centers allowed the discerning of changes over time in the rates of serious infection after medical abortion. In summary, the current report shows that changes in PPFA policies for medical abortion that involve replacing vaginal administration of misoprostol with buccal administration and, later, providing routine antibiotics coupled with a highly monitored, systemwide surveillance network were associated with significant reductions in the rates of serious infections. === "Choice, Life Groups Slam Obama Order on Abortion Funding" (March 21, 2010) === <small> [https://www.foxnews.com/politics/choice-life-groups-slam-obama-order-on-abortion-funding "Choice, Life Groups Slam Obama Order on Abortion Funding"]. ''Fox News''.

Abortion opponents, on the other hand, said Obama's pending order does nothing to prohibit spending on abortion services as provided in the Senate bill. * "I'm pleased to announce that we have an agreement, and it's with the help of the president and the speaker we were able to come to an agreement to protect the sanctity of life in the health care reform. There will be no public funding for abortion in this legislation," Stupak said. <br> The White House issued its own statement about the executive order. <br> The president "will be issuing an executive order after the passage of the health insurance reform law that will reaffirm its consistency with longstanding restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortion," reads the statement from White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer. <br> "While the legislation as written maintains current law, the executive order provides additional safeguards to ensure that the status quo is upheld and enforced, and that the health care legislation's restrictions against the public funding of abortions cannot be circumvented," the statement reads. * "Because of Roe v. Wade, courts have interpreted the decision as a statutory mandate that the government must provide federal funding for elective abortion in through federal programs. In other words, no executive order or regulation can override a statutory mandate unless Congress passes a law that prohibits federal funding from being used in this manner," Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement. <br> Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., added that pro-life Democrats should be alarmed by a promise coming from a politician with a 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America. <br> "This puts the fate of the unborn in the hands of the most pro-abortion president in history," he said. === "Transforming the Reproductive Rights Movement: The Post-Webster Agenda" (1990) === <small> Mariene Gerber Fried, “Transforming the Reproductive Rights Movement: The Post-Webster Agenda”, in Fried, Marlene Gerber (ed.).

ISBN 9780896083875. </small> * No matter how we try to control the clinic battles, we remain in a structurally defensive position. In the year and a half since Operation Rescue came to town, we have tried nearly everything-from holding a demonstration away from the clinics; to counter-demonstrating on the other side of the street; to interposing our bodies between the anti-abortionists and the clinic. Our level of organization at the clinics is impressive-a 3,000-person phone tree; hundreds of trained escorts and clinic coordinators who communicate with beepers and special codes. Despite all of this, it is not our show. Our efforts have been directed at figuring out what they are doing and how to foil them. It is not surprising, then, that even when we “win,” it doesn’t feel like victory. Most disturbing, however, is the siege mentality at the clinics. It is painful to witness what women must face in order to exercise their right to make reproductive choices. Some women will not push their way through demonstrators to get into a clinic. Some will not even come at all if they anticipate harassment by anti-abortionists. It is painful even when the women are undaunted by the harassment, even when they and we fight back: a young man accompanying his girlfriend for an abortion escorts her to the clinic wielding a baseball bat. He says to the anti-abortionists, “You mess with her, you’re in trouble.” The girlfriend of a woman coming to the clinic punches one of the blockaders who tries to top her. It is painful even when the effects are radicalizing-often women having abortions become politically active after having had to confront anti-abortion demonstrator. It is still disturbing and angering. <br> Is this “safe and legal” abortion? ** pp.1-2 * Abortion campaigns offer unprecedented opportunities for alliances between activists and groups fighting for the rights of poor women, yet many of these opportunities have been missed. The women’s movement has a history of trading away the rights of women of color and working-class women in favor of gains for more privileged women. Because of this history, we must consciously and aggressively make clear that we are not about to repeat this pattern in the present or future. Steps must be taken to develop a multi-racial and class-conscious movement for abortion rights. One way to do this is to acknowledge the fact that poor women have consistently borne the brunt of the attack on abortion rights. For poor women, the legal right to abortion is empty, and choice an abstraction. Without access to abortion services, it is as if “Roe v. Wade” never happened. ** p.6 * While I understand the urgency individuals and groups feel about the need to protect some ground, this is a dangerous approach. It is a strategy that trades away the most basic aspect of abortion rights-the fact that abortion is fundamentally a woman’s right to decide, at any point in pregnancy, for any reason. Going for what we think we can get right now helps to legitimize the view that there are morally acceptable and morally unacceptable abortions and that those decisions are best made by someone other than the pregnant women. Feminists need instead to be arguing for the right of every woman to make her own decision. ** pp.7-8 * In many cities, activists find themselves caught among a variety of political tendencies. Abortion clinics are not political organizations although they have become they key political battlefield. Clinic workers have taken on heroic qualities, since going to work sometimes involves fighting one’s way through an angry mob. Nonetheless, their stake in this is to continue providing services, some for profit, others not. There are many clinic directors who view pro-choice demonstrators in almost the same way they view anti-abortion militants-as disruptions to their business as usual. While clients and clinic escorts have been generally supportive of pro-choice demonstrators, we have been told repeatedly by some clinic directors that the safety and privacy of their patients and their ongoing ability to operate are compromised by direct confrontations with anti-abortionists. ** p.10 === "Americans Walk the Middle Road on Abortion" (April 10, 2000) === <small> The Gallup Poll Monthly, [https://news.gallup.com/poll/3016/Americans-Walk-Middle-Road-Abortion.aspx "Americans Walk the Middle Road on Abortion"], (April 10, 2000) </small> * A recent Gallup poll, conducted March 30-April 2, updates where the public stands on abortion. In the broadest sense, the majority of Americans reject extreme positions on abortion and favor legalizing it under limited conditions. Just 28% think abortion should be legal under any circumstances and even fewer, 19%, think it should be illegal in all circumstances, while 51% say it should be legal "only under certain circumstances." These results are generally consistent with the public's position on the abortion issue in recent years. And, while there have been slight shifts in public abortion attitudes over the past 25 years, the basic pattern remains the same as when Gallup first asked about it in 1975. * Even though public opinion about terminating a pregnancy has remained stable over time in the broad sense, the nature of that opinion appears decidedly ambiguous. The level of support for abortion appears to vary significantly, depending upon the specific circumstances under which the procedure takes place. It takes little probing, for example, to find that support for abortion rises to as high as 84% in circumstances in which the woman's life is in danger, and drops to as low as 8% for abortions conducted in the third trimester. <br> In fact, Americans appear to be sympathetic to many of the circumstances that compel some women to choose abortion. In addition to the "life of the mother" circumstance, most Americans think abortion should be legal when the woman's physical health is endangered (81%), or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest (78%). A majority also supports termination when the woman's mental health is endangered (64%), and when there is evidence the baby may be physically impaired (53%) or mentally impaired (53%). On the other hand, one circumstance Americans reject as valid is financial inability, with only 34% saying abortion should be legal when the woman or family cannot afford to raise the child; 62% reject this rationale. <br> When the public is asked about the legality of abortion according to the stage of the development of the fetus rather than the specific circumstances involved, nearly two-thirds of Americans believe abortion should be legal in the first three months of pregnancy, while two-thirds or more say it should be illegal in the second and third trimesters. * Interestingly, despite Americans' general acceptance of abortion in the early stages of pregnancy, the public tilts against legalizing a drug that induces abortions in the first trimester. Today, only 39% of Americans favor making the abortion pill RU-486 available in the United States as a prescription drug; 47% oppose it while 14% are unsure. <br> However, much of this opposition could be due to Americans' lack of familiarity with the drug. Only 54% say they have heard or read anything about RU-486. Among this group, approval of its introduction in the United States as prescription drug is relatively high, with 54% in favor and only 38% opposed. By contrast, disapproval of RU-486 is high among the 45% of Americans who have not heard of the drug. Among this group only 23% favor its use, while 58% are opposed. * The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act was originally introduced in Congress in 1995. Gallup polls since then indicate the public widely favors legislation that would place a national ban on a particular procedure used to perform late-term abortions, except in cases in which it is necessary to save the life of the mother. In the latest survey, 66% support the legislation to ban partial-birth abortions, while just 29% oppose it. In fact, the ban is supported by a majority of Democrats and those who call themselves "pro-choice" as well as by most Republicans and those who say they are "pro-life." === "Alabama just criminalized abortions – and every single yes vote was cast by a white man" (May 15, 2019) === <small> Garrand, Danielle (May 15, 2019).

Retrieved May 15, 2019. </small> * Twenty-five members of the Alabama State Senate voted to pass the nation's most restrictive abortion bill on Tuesday — and every single one of them were white men. On Wednesday, the state's Republican female governor, Kay Ivey, signed the bill into law. <br> After hours of discussion, the Senate on Tuesday passed the near-total abortion ban in a 25 to 6 vote. Of the 35 senators in the state, four are women, and they are all Democrats. <br> All 25 of the male senators to vote "yes" on the bill were Republicans. * Ivey, the state's second female governor, tweeted a photo of herself signing the bill with the caption "To the bill's many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians' deeply held belief that every life is precious & that every life is a sacred gift from God." * House Bill 314, known as the "Human Life Protection Act" prohibits abortion or attempted abortion in Alabama, except "in cases where abortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk to the unborn child's mother," according to the bill. <br> It criminalizes the procedure, reclassifying abortion as a Class A felony, punishable by up to 99 years in prison for doctors. Attempted abortions will be reclassified as a Class C penalty. The legislation doesn't make an exceptions for victims or rape or incest. <br> Rep. Terri Collins, a Republican, sponsored the bill in the House, which voted 74-3 to approve it in April. All six Republican women voted for the measure. * Alabama's ban is just the most recent in a barrage of anti-abortion measures at state level. Last week, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law the state's so-called "fetal heartbeat" bill, legislation that will prohibit abortions after a heartbeat is detected in an embryo, which is usually about five to six weeks into a pregnancy -- before most women know they're pregnant. The state was the sixth to pass such a law, and the fourth this year alone. === "The tiny American towns passing anti-abortion rules" (April 27, 2021) === <small> Jessica Glenza, [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/27/us-tiny-towns-anti-abortion-ordinances "The tiny American towns passing anti-abortion rules"]. The Guardian. April 27, 2021. </small> * Over the last year of the pandemic, 23 tiny towns in Texas have approved local laws declaring themselves “sanctuary cities for the unborn”, passing ordinances to make the procedure punishable by a $2,000 fine. <br> In April, the tiny village of Hayes Center, Nebraska, became the 24th, and the first outside Texas. <br> “Would we ever see an abortion clinic in Hayes Center? Maybe not,” said Kim Primavera, a Hayes Center trustee. Four of the village’s five trustees are women, and most are young. They represent about 280 people here. “But it’s always better to be proactive than reactive in life in general,” she said. <br> The Hayes Center Times-Republican, the local newspaper which Primavera partially owns, reported that not a single person in town spoke against the measure. * The towns and their leaders differ, but there is one constant: traveling preacher Mark Lee Dickson, a director of the tiny non-profit Right to Life of East Texas. <br> “I don’t have an abortion story, I’m a 35-year-old virgin. But I’ve seen the impacts of suicide and the throwing away of life in general,” Dickson said. “That’s why I’m so passionate about the subject of abortion.” * When CNN, the New York Times and the Associated Press called about the ordinance, Dickson wrote potential quotes for Mayor Jesse Moore, emailed them to the city secretary and asked if Moore found any appealing. It’s unclear if Moore ultimately used the quotes. <br> “Innocent human life must always be protected and preserved,” wrote Dickson in one email to the city secretary. “This would be a great quote as well. Let me know if he [the mayor] is good with these,” he wrote. * Widespread attention propelled the ordinances forward as conservative media began to cover Dickson’s successes. It also gained him the monied backing of the religious Thomas More Society law firm. <br> The firm represented Waskom and six other cities when they were sued by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for libel after calling abortion providers “criminal organizations” in their ordinances. Texas’s former solicitor general, Jonathan F Mitchell, known for his work against unions, also offered his services to towns sued by the ACLU. <br> “We do have a village attorney,” said Primaveria, “but in this case” Mitchell agreed to represent the towns, she said. * But even with the clout of lawyers behind the ordinances, some towns still found the legislation too divisive. The leaders of Carthage, Texas, where a 14ft statue of Jesus Christ stands on eastern outskirts of town, voted the ordinance down. It was simply bad policy, leaders argued. <br> “I am not going to be having an abortion. That is left up to the individual themselves if they want to have it,” Ida Beck, Carthage commissioner, said in a meeting where the ordinance was voted down, according to local newspaper the Panola Watchman. “They’re the ones who have to stand before God and face that.” <br> That Dickson is still busy passing such ordinances, traveling Texas, Nebraska and Missouri, is evidence of how the Trump administration empowered grassroots and often extreme campaigners, experts said. * The biggest challenge for Dickson is just around the corner. The voters of Lubbock, Texas, will decide whether their town of 253,000 should be described as a “sanctuary city” for the unborn on 1 May. <br> The vote would not undo the right to obtain an abortion in Lubbock. Federal law supersedes local. But a success would sow confusion, heap pressure on a Planned Parenthood clinic, and further galvanize a movement bent on delegitimizing the courts. === "Every State That's Tried to Ban Abortion Over the Coronavirus" (April 7, 2020) === <small> Gold, Hannah (April 7, 2020). [https://www.thecut.com/2020/04/every-state-thats-tried-to-ban-abortion-over-coronavirus.html "Every State That's Tried to Ban Abortion Over the Coronavirus"]. The Cut. Retrieved April 7, 2020. </small> * Just days into the national surge of coronavirus cases, as an increasing number of states called for nonessential businesses to shut down, some Republican legislators began using the public health crisis as an opportunity to deny health care to patients seeking abortions. The tactic has been replicated in the past couple of weeks, with governors in several states peddling the cynical argument that temporarily banning abortion will help shore up their supply of medical gear for hospitals overwhelmed by the pandemic. <br> So far, lawmakers in six states — Ohio, Texas, Alabama, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Arkansas — have attempted to halt abortion services indefinitely. In March, providers in Alabama, Iowa, Ohio, and Oklahoma filed lawsuits to prevent the orders from taking effect in their states. A similar lawsuit has been filed in Texas as well. On April 1, injunctions were granted in Ohio, Texas, and Alabama, so that clinics would be able to remain in operation. However, a federal appeals court quickly overturned the Texas injunction, kicking off a legal back-and-forth that has now escalated to the Supreme Court. On April 6, a federal judge in Oklahoma also granted an injunction, and the case against Iowa was dropped on April 1, after it was determined that the state would not ban all abortions. * Anti-abortion legislators are taking advantage of a crisis to further their agenda. Many states are moving to limit nonessential medical procedures, like dental checkups and colonoscopies, in an attempt to conserve protective gear for health-care workers; by labeling abortion, too, as “nonessential,” they hope to institute a de facto temporary ban. This ignores the widespread medical consensus that abortion is an “essential component of comprehensive health care” and that it’s a time-sensitive procedure. Were these directives allowed to stand, they would force women to have to travel hundreds of miles to obtain safe and legal terminations at a time when three-quarters of Americans have been urged or ordered to stay at home. * In late March, Ohio’s deputy attorney general, Jonathan Fulkerson, issued letters to three abortion providers ordering them to comply with the state’s freeze on nonessential medical procedures. Two of the clinics that received letters announced they would continue to provide abortions because they are essential medical procedures. <br> On April 1, district court judge Michael Barrett ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood and other reproductive rights groups challenging the state’s new abortion restrictions, ordering that the ban be suspended for two weeks. On Friday, Barrett extended that temporary restraining order for an additional two weeks. * On March 23, Texas’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, issued a warning that, to be in compliance with Governor Greg Abbott’s recent executive order temporarily banning elective medical procedures, “any type of abortion that is not medically necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother” would be prohibited. Providers who didn’t comply with the order could result in fines of up to $1,000 or 180 days in jail — an extraordinarily unsafe prospect at this time, even beyond the carceral system’s routine injustices. <br> On March 30, a federal judge halted the state’s temporary abortion ban. The following day, however, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the temporary restraining order, reinstating the ban. Paxton celebrated the ruling on Twitter: <br> The Fifth Circuit affirmed its decision on April 7, allowing the de facto ban to stand. But the same judge who halted the ban in late March then issued a temporary restraining order blocking parts of the measure. As of April 9, medication abortion was once again available in Texas. Patients who risked running up against the state’s gestational limitations before the nonessential-surgery suspension was lifted were also allowed to terminate their pregnancies. The Fifth Circuit came back and blocked the medication-abortion caveat the next day, however, and it looked like the case was headed to the Supreme Court. On Monday night, however, the Fifth Circuit ruled that the medication abortion — which involves a provider handing a patient two pills — did not qualify as a “procedure” and did not eat up crucial medical equipment, and the complainants withdrew their case from SCOTUS on Tuesday. * The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of abortion providers in late March, after Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds listed abortion among nonessential medical procedures temporarily banned across the state in response to the pandemic. However, the suit was dropped right before a scheduled hearing, after the state clarified it would not ban all surgical abortions. * Alabama’s three remaining abortion clinics sought a temporary restraining order after the state’s attorney general, Steve Marshall, implied that the Alabama Department of Public Health’s March 27 order, which suspended elective medical procedures, could apply to patients seeking abortions. According to the lawsuit, Marshall “refused to provide any further guidance as to how [his office] is interpreting the scope of the order other than to make plain that in its view, some — and perhaps most — abortions are not permitted.” <br> On March 30, Alabama district court judge Myron Thompson issued a temporary restraining order suspending the ban, at least until April 6, when he would hear arguments over video conference. Thompson said in his ruling that “the state’s interest in immediate enforcement of the March 27 order — a broad mandate aimed primarily at preventing large social gatherings — against abortion providers does not, based on the current record, outweigh plaintiffs’ concerns.” On April 12, Thompson issued a preliminary injunction, restoring access. * Several advocacy groups, including the Center for Reproductive Rights, filed a suit at the end of March, seeking a temporary restraining order on Governor Kevin Sitt’s executive order suspending elective medical procedures through April 7. The order would have banned nearly all abortions, except when one could be proved necessary to prevent health risks to the patient. <br> On April 6, federal judge Charles Goodwin blocked the order, writing in his decision that the state of Oklahoma “has acted in an ‘unreasonable,’ ‘arbitrary,’ and ‘oppressive’ way — and imposed an ‘undue burden’ on abortion access — in imposing requirements that effectively deny a right of access to abortion.” * On April 3, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson ordered all non-essential medical procedures and surgeries be postponed. On Friday, the state’s last remaining abortion clinic — Little Rock Family Planning Services — received a cease-and-desist letter from the health department saying the clinic was in violation of the order, because the state considered abortions that were “not immediately necessary to protect the life or health of the patient” to be elective procedures. Further violations, the letter said, would trigger the suspension of the clinic’s license. <br> On Monday, April 13, the ACLU filed an emergency lawsuit with the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, arguing that “nothing in the current crisis justifies” suspending abortion access, and further, that “prohibiting abortion during the pandemic will not achieve any of the State’s public-health objectives and is in fact likely to exacerbate the crisis.” * There have been rumblings of anti-abortion action in Kentucky, too, although no steps to curtail abortion have been taken so far. On March 27, the Courier-Journal reported that the state’s attorney general, Daniel Cameron, asked that the Democratic Governor Andy Beshear categorize abortions as an elective medical procedure to ban them. In a statement, Cameron called on the state’s anti-abortion Republican legislators to join his cause “to protect the health of … patients and slow the spread of coronavirus.” <br> Beshear’s executive order to ban elective procedures, issued March 23, is vague, leaving the definition of “essential” open to the interpretation of medical professionals. When asked, days later, whether abortion qualifies as essential medical care, Beshear responded, “I leave it to our health professionals to determine what falls into elective and the essential.” Abortion providers in Kentucky are continuing to officer services in compliance with the state’s order and in spite of the AG’s rhetoric. * Only a single clinic providing abortion access remains in Mississippi, and on March 24, the state’s Republican governor, Tate Reeves, reiterated his desire to paralyze it. Reeves repeated the anti-choice line about abortion being an elective procedure and therefore temporarily banned. “It is without question that the lone clinic in Jackson does, in fact, operate doing procedures that are elective and not required,” he said. <br> Nonetheless, the Center for Reproductive Rights confirmed in an email to the Cut that Mississippi’s abortion clinic, remains open, active, and in compliance with the state’s emergency directives. === “The Racist History of Abortion and Midwifery Bans” (July 1, 2020) === <small> Michele Goodwin, [https://www.aclu.org/news/racial-justice/the-racist-history-of-abortion-and-midwifery-bans/ “The Racist History of Abortion and Midwifery Bans”], ''ACLU'', (July 1, 2020) </small> * Following the Supreme Court’s decision in June Medical Services v. Russo this week, it is worth reflecting on the racist origins of the anti-abortion movement in the United States, which date back to the ideologies of slavery. Just like slavery, anti-abortion efforts are rooted in white supremacy, the exploitation of Black women, and placing women’s bodies in service to men. Just like slavery, maximizing wealth and consolidating power motivated the anti-abortion enterprise. Then, just as now, anti-abortion efforts have nothing to do with saving women’s lives or protecting the interests of children. Today, a person is 14 times more likely to die by carrying a pregnancy to term than by having an abortion, and medical evidence has shown for decades that an abortion is as safe as a penicillin shot—and yet abortion remains heavily restricted in states across the country. * Prior to the Civil War, abortion and contraceptives were legal in the U.S., used by Indigenous women as well as those who sailed to these lands from Europe. For the most part, the persons who performed all manner of reproductive health care were women — female midwives. Midwifery was interracial; half of the women who provided reproductive health care were Black women. Other midwives were Indigenous and white. * Abortion was an expedient way to frame their campaign to create monopolies on women’s bodies for male doctors. The American Medical Association explicitly contributed to this cause through its exclusion of women and Black people. <br> Today, as people debate whether anti-abortion platforms benefit Black women, the clear answer is no. The U.S. leads the developed world in maternal and infant mortality. The U.S. ranks around 50th in the world for maternal safety. Nationally, for Black women, the maternal death rate is nearly four times that of white women, and 10 to 17 times worse in some states. === "Law and Everyday Death: Infanticide and the Backlash against Woman's Rights after the Civil War." (2006) === <small> Gordon, Sarah Barringer.

Austin Sarat, Lawrence Douglas, and Martha Umphrey, Editors. (University of Michigan Press 2006) </small> * The sense that infanticide was both prevalent and largely unpunished was not confined to the working women whose interests the suffragists claimed to represent. Especially in large cities, married women of wealth and stature also “redden[ed] their souls” with the blood of their own children. The problem was especially common in urban areas, where the lure of pleasure led women to sacrifice infants to their own selfish desires. Abortion, charged the conservative press, was as much a threat as the murder of newborns. Both were forms of infanticide. A “New York Times” editorial, written on the day of the Hester Vaughn rally in New York, claimed that “the horrible crime of infanticide prevails to such an extent in America, that in some localities the growth of the population is seriously affected by it. In great cities especially, its results are as shocking as they are alarming; and the attention of social philosophers and Christian moralists has lately been directed to the necessity of adopting some means of limiting its prevalence.” The “Times” also charged that upperclass women were guilty of infanticide: “It is not only practiced by women who, having gone astray, are so anxious to conceal the result of their errors as not to stop at murder, but women who are legally married, and move in respectable society, redden their souls and their hands with the blood of legitimate children, to escape the trouble of maternity and the labor of nurture and training. The growth of flourishing businesses that openly advertised abortifacient medicines fueled a sense that the incidence of abortion among middle-and upper-class women was rising in proportion to falling birth rates among native-born, white Protestant women. ** pp.65-66 * Concern over the vulnerability of children increased as the rate of abortions and the apparent power of women grew in the nineteenth century. Woman’s rights activists were frequently blamed for threats to the welfare of children, and the decision whether to have children at all. Letters to the editor in Philadelphia papers about the Vaughn case revealed that the connection between Vaughn’s situation and the practices of upper-class women was widely perceived. Fighting back against New York suffragists, for example, one outraged correspondent claimed that “we have the authority of Henry Ward Beecher and other divines, for believing that amongst the virtuous matrons of the virtuous city of New York, [infanticide] is of frequent occurrence and regarded as a very trifling offence; therefore . . . we need not be surprised if these ladies pass resolutions condemning the Philadelphia jury which regards so trifling an offence as the killing of an innocent babe, ‘murder in the first degree.’” Opponents translated “Hester Vaughnism” into an excuse to attack the middle-class women who defended Vaughn, charging them with the crime Vaughn had been convicted of. ** p.66 * These attempts to deflect support for Vaughn by arguing that her case represented simply a more overt form of the abortion (and associated selfish individualism) practiced by wealthier women, were met head-on by suffragists. In a column in the “Revolution”, Parker Pillsbury claimed that agitation for the pardon and release of Hester Vaughn was expressly designed to “unfold that very evil [infanticide] in all its horrible enormity and extent.’ Suffragists shared with Judge Ludlow the sense that infanticide was a growing and urgent problem in American cities. They embraced the claim that abortion and infanticide were identical morally, if not criminally. To hammer home the connection, they shot back at Philadelphia, insisting that “infanticide is as fashionable among the virtuous matrons of Philadelphia as those of [New York.” Pillsbury’s speech on behalf of Vaughn at the Cooper Institute was directed at precisely this issue, arguing that to hold Vaughn guilty was to apply a double standard. It would be unfair, Pillsbury argued, to hold a working woman accountable for a practice indulged in with impunity by “fashionable matrons” and their husbands. Pillsbury also claimed that the press itself was as guilty at any patron of the famous abortionist known as “Madame Restell”: “Did it never occur to you that in large numbers of these newspapers-religious papers not excluded-professional infanticide is advertised in a disgusting form? (Applause_. Have your not in your own city professional murderers? How many newspapers have you too pure to advertise these murders from week to week? (A voice, ‘None.’).” ** pp.66-67 * ”The loathsome operators of the abomination,” claimed suffragists, were the real murderers. But the legal system punished only innocent young women who had no control over their actions and were too poor to provide shelter and care for their babes. The “Revolution” reported a case in January 1869 in which a newborn frozen to death after its mother gave birth in a shed near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. “Why not try her for murder?” the editor queried rhetorically, implying that Hester Vaughn, like the woman in the story, was a victim of circumstances beyond her control. ** p.67 * As the historian Linda Gordon has pointed out, nineteenth-century woman’s rights activists did not support abortion, focusing instead on abstinence and husbands’ responsibility for respecting their wives’ desires for “Voluntary Motherhood.” In the nineteenth century, liberal suffragists accepted broadly what most twentieth- and twenty-first-century feminists deny categorically: that is, they equated abortion with infanticide. As Gordon put it, motherhood in nineteenth-century activism was both central to respect for women, and the site of male sexual tyranny. To embrace abortion would be to countenance sexual licentiousness, woman’s rights activists concluded, instead of attacking the problem where it began, in the unlimited access of husbands to their wives’ bodies. Exemption from motherhood was not a viable alternative in nineteenth-century suffragism, for it would mean the abandonment of the source of women’s unique ability to rise above individual identify, and all the selfishness that such individualism implied. According to one report of the Hester Vaughn rally, Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s announcement that the “Revolution” accepted no advertisements for abortifacients or other forms of birth control was greeted with applause. ** p.67 === “The Moral Property of Women” (2002) === <small> Gordon, Linda (2002).

ISBN 0-252-02764-7. “Ch.2 The Criminals” </small> * Abortion was much more common than infanticide, however, practiced most often by the married and frequent in all classes. In 1862, when the wife of a Confederate general, William Dorset Pender, wrote him that she was, unfortunately, pregnant, he wrote her pious phrases about “God’s will” but also sent her pills that his camp surgeon had thought might “relieve” her. ** p.24 * In 1871 Dr. Martin Luther Holbrook wrote that American women were “addicted” to the wicked practice and that it was especially widespread in New England, where the decline in the birth rate was most pronounced. One antiabortion propagandist, in a style clearly intended to repel and frighten, wrote: “Nowadays, if a baby accidentally find a lodgement in the uterus, it may perchance have a knitting-needle stuck in its eyes before it has any.” ** pp.24-25 * In 1872 the ''New York Times'' called abortion “The Evil of the Age.” The Times” estimated that there were two hundred full-time abortionists in New York City, not including doctors who performed abortions occasionally. It may be that tens of thousands of abortions were done in New York City alone in the 1870s, one judge estimating, probably exaggeratedly, one hundred thousand a year in the 1890s. In 1904 a physician estimated six to ten thousand a year in Chicago. In the 1890s doctors were estimating two million abortions a year in the United States-they too were probably exaggerating, but the numbers represented their anxiety. In 1921, when statistics on these matters were more reliable, a Stanford University study calculated that one out of every 1. To 2.3 pregnancies ended in abortion, of which at least 50 percent were illegal. Among a thousand women who went to a birth control clinic in the Bronx, New York, in 1931032, 3 percent had had at least one illegal abortion, a proportion that applied to Catholics as well as Protestants and Jews. ** p.25 * In 1881 the Michigan Board of Health estimated one hundred thousand abortions a year in the United States, with just six thousand deaths, or a 6 percent mortality rate. There is some misunderstanding about abortion safety today because the campaign for legalized abortion has understandably emphasized the dangers of illegal abortion. In fact, illegal abortions in this country have an impressive safety record. The Kinsey investigators, for example, were impressed with the safety and skill of the abortion they surveyed. Studies of maternal mortality in the late 1920s and early 1930s found that 13-14 percent resulted from illegal abortion (meaning, of course, that 86-87 percent resulted from child-birth). Legal abortion had made that ratio even more uneven today in the United States, when eleven times more women die in childbirth than from abortions. <br> This does not mean that abortions were pleasant. They were painful and frightening, and anxiety was worse because they were “gotten in sin” and, often, in isolation. The physical risk was heightened by the illegality, just as it is today. ** p.25 * The criminalization of abortion also increased women’s anxiety. Before the nineteenth century, few people considered abortion wrong is performed in the first few months of pregnancy. The first modern legislation banning abortion altogether did not originate in catholic canon law, as is widely believed, but in the secular law of England in 1803. Until then the Protestant churches had gone along with the Catholic tradition that before “quickening”-the moment at which the fetus was believed to gain life-abortion was permissible. U.S. courts upheld this interpretation until at least 1845. The Catholic Church was a follower, not a leader, in restricting abortion, only legislating to prohibit it in 1869, well after most stated in the United States of America had outlawed all abortion during the Civil War period. Throughout the nineteenth century, most American women seemed to share the belief that before quickening, taking action to “bring on menstruation” was in no way reprehensible. ** p.25 * Stories of men dosing their pregnant girlfriends with abortifacients come from all periods of American history. In Maryland in 1652, Susanna Warren, a single woman made pregnant by “prominent citizen” Captain Mitchell, said that he prepared for her a “potion of Phisick,” put it in an egg, and forced her to take it.” It didn’t work and she brought charges against him. Slaves commonly practiced abortion. An antebellum doctor found abortion four times as frequent among blacks as among whites, noting that “all country practitioners are aware of the frequent complaints of planters from this subject.” Though the doctor may have been underestimating the prevalence of abortion among whites, abortion among slaves was undoubtedly not only a tool of self-preservation but also a form of resistance. ** pp.26-27 * We have more information about the commercialization of abortion in the later nineteenth century because the New York Times embarked on a series of investigative reports about it. The professional abortionists who advertised in the papers were often medical imposters-that is, they lacked medical degrees, though many “doctors” did too, having purchased their degrees from diploma mills. Frequently abortionists used several aliases, sometimes to avoid old prosecutions, sometimes to operate several establishments simultaneously under different names. Sometimes the advertisements would feature a woman’s name, as a woman seeking help would be more likely to approach another woman, although the abortionist might be male. ** pp.28-29 * When the medical establishment undertook a campaign against abortion in the second half of the nineteenth century, its very vehemence served as a further indication of the prevalence of illegal abortions. In 1857 the American medical Association (AMA) initiated a formal investigation of the frequency of abortion. Seven years later the AMA offered a prize for the best popular antiabortion tract. Medical attacks on abortion grew in number and virulence until, by the 1870s, both professional and popular journals were virtually saturated with the issue. Physicians bemoaned the widespread lay acceptance of abortion before quickening; in order to break that sympathy, they adopted a new vocabulary that described abortion in terms designed to shock and repel, such as “antenatal infanticide.” Physicians attempted to frighten women away from abortion by emphasizing its dangers. Their common assertion that there was “no” safe abortion may have betrayed ignorance, but more likely it was an exaggeration justified by what they believed was a higher moral purpose. Yet occasionally even antiabortion doctors allowed the truth to slip out, revealing despite themselves why their campaign remained ineffective. It is such a simple and comparatively safe matter for a skillful and aseptic operator to interrupt an undesirable pregnancy at an early date,” wrote Dr. A. L. Benedict of Buffalo, New York, an opponent of abortion, “That the natural temptation is to comply with the request. ** p.30 === "Justices Back Ban on Method of Abortion" (April 19, 2007) === <small> Greenhouse, Linda (April 19, 2007). [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/19/washington/19scotus.html "Justices Back Ban on Method of Abortion"], ''The New York Times''. </small> * The banned procedure, known medically as “intact dilation and extraction,” involves removing the fetus in an intact condition rather than dismembering it in the uterus. Both methods are used to terminate pregnancies beginning at about 12 weeks, after the fetus has grown too big to be removed by the suction method commonly used in the first trimester, when 85 percent to 90 percent of all abortions take place. <br> While the ruling will thus have a direct impact on only a relatively small subset of abortion practice, the decision has broader implications for abortion regulations generally, indicating a change in the court’s balancing of the various interests involved in the abortion debate. <br> Most notable was the emphasis in the majority opinion, by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, on the implication of abortion’s “ethical and moral concerns.” <br> “The act expresses respect for the dignity of human life,” Justice Kennedy said. * Mr. Bush welcomed the ruling, saying: “The Supreme Court’s decision is an affirmation of the progress we have made over the past six years in protecting human dignity and upholding the sanctity of life. We will continue to work for the day when every child is welcomed in life and protected in law.” <br> It was also a vindication for the strategic choice the anti-abortion movement made 15 years ago, when the prospect of persuading the Supreme Court to reconsider the right to abortion seemed a distant dream. <br> By identifying the intact procedure and giving it the provocative label “partial-birth abortion,” the movement turned the public focus of the abortion debate from the rights of women to the fate of fetuses. In short order, 30 states banned the procedure. * The court did not explicitly overturn any of its precedents, although Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the four dissenters, said the decision was “so at odds with our jurisprudence” that it “should not have staying power.” Justice Ginsburg called the decision “alarming” and said the majority’s “hostility” to the right to abortion was “not concealed.” * Justice Kennedy took pains to describe the decision as faithful to the court’s earlier rulings, including the one in the Nebraska case. He said that by defining the prohibited procedure more precisely, the federal law avoided the vagueness the court had found in the Nebraska statute and thus did not place doctors at risk of violating it inadvertently. <br> Congress passed the law in response to the court’s ruling in the Nebraska case, responding specifically to the majority’s insistence in that case that the law must include an exception for circumstances when the banned procedure was necessary for the sake of a pregnant woman’s health. Congress provided an exception only to save a pregnant woman’s life, as Nebraska had, declaring that the procedure was never necessary for a woman’s health. * Justice Kennedy, in addressing the need for the health exception, said on Wednesday that it was acceptable for Congress not to include one because there was “medical uncertainty” over whether the banned procedure was ever necessary for the sake of a woman’s health. He said that pregnant women or their doctors could assert an individual need for a health exception by going to court to challenge the law as it applied to them. <br> Justice Ginsburg said that this approach was unrealistic and “gravely mistaken.” She said that requiring “piecemeal” litigation “jeopardizes women’s health and places doctors in an untenable position.” <br> Clarke D. Forsythe, president of Americans United for Life, a leading anti-abortion group, said approvingly that while the court did not technically overturn the Nebraska decision, the new ruling “effectively gutted it.” <br> Dr. LeRoy H. Carhart, the Nebraska doctor who challenged both the state law in 2000 and the federal law in this case, Gonzales v. Carhart, No. 05-380, said that “those who support this law are trying to outlaw all abortions, one step at a time.” * In his discussion of the court’s precedents, Justice Kennedy went so far as to suggest that the new ruling was in fact compelled by the court’s decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 case that reaffirmed the basic holding of Roe v. Wade that women have a constitutional right to abortion. Justice Kennedy supported that result and helped write the decision’s unusual joint opinion. <br> On Wednesday, he said that “whatever one’s views concerning the Casey joint opinion, it is evident a premise central to its conclusion — that the government has a legitimate and substantial interest in preserving and promoting fetal life — would be repudiated were the court now to affirm the judgments of the courts of appeals” that struck down the federal law. <br> In describing the federal law’s justifications, Justice Kennedy said that banning the procedure was in fact good for women, protecting them against terminating their pregnancies by a method they might not fully understand in advance and would come to regret later. <br> “Respect for human life finds an ultimate expression in the bond of love the mother has for her child,” he said, adding: “It is self-evident that a mother who comes to regret her choice to abort must struggle with grief more anguished and sorrow more profound when she learns, only after the event, what she once did not know: that she allowed a doctor to pierce the skull and vacuum the fast-developing brain of her unborn child, a child assuming the human form.” * Justice Ginsburg objected vehemently that “this way of thinking reflects ancient notions of women’s place in the family and under the Constitution — ideas that have long since been discredited.” <br> She cited century-old Supreme Court cases that upheld a paternalistic view of women’s place in society and contrasted those with more recent cases, including one she successfully argued to the court in 1977 and one in which she wrote the majority opinion in 1996, that rejected “archaic and overbroad generalizations” and assumptions about women’s inherent dependency. * One law professor, Martin S. Lederman of Georgetown University, commented after reading Justice Ginsburg’s response on this point that Justice Kennedy’s opinion “was an attack on her entire life’s work.” <br> In her opinion, Justice Ginsburg said the majority had provided only “flimsy and transparent justifications” for upholding the law, which she noted “saves not a single fetus from destruction” by banning a single method of abortion. “One wonders how long a line that saves no fetus from destruction will hold in face of the court’s ‘moral concerns,’ ” she said. === "The Roberts Court Takes on Abortion" (November 5, 2006) === <small> Linda Greenhouse, [https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/weekinreview/05greenhouse.html?scp=1&sq=infanticide "The Roberts Court Takes on Abortion"]. ''New York Times''. (November 5, 2006). </small> * THE arguments the Supreme Court will hear on Wednesday on the constitutionality of the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act promise much more than a resumption of a familiar debate over a method of terminating a pregnancy. <br> In defining the permissible limits on access to abortion, only six years after declaring a similar restriction unconstitutional in a case from Nebraska, the court must go a long way toward defining its stance toward precedent, its relationship to Congress, and its view of its own role in the constitutional system. As it decides the new cases, the still-emerging Roberts court will inevitably be defining itself. <br> That much is clear from briefs submitted to the court by the abortion rights side, where many believe that their only hope of prevailing lies in persuading Justice Anthony M. Kennedy to reconsider the position he took in an emotionally laden dissenting opinion in the Nebraska case. Justice Kennedy said then that states should be able to outlaw “a procedure many decent and civilized people find so abhorrent as to be among the most serious of crimes against human life.” <br> Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who retired in January, voted with the 5-to-4 majority. No one knows whether either of the two newest justices, her successor, Samuel A. Alito Jr., or Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., might step into her shoes. But the fate of the federal law may rest with Justice Kennedy, the only one of the four dissenters who accepts the court’s precedents on the basic right to abortion. * Three federal appeals courts have considered the federal law, and all three have declared it unconstitutional on the basis of the Nebraska decision. <br> The court is hearing the Bush administration’s appeal of two of those rulings. The administration argues that the federal law and the Nebraska ruling can coexist if the court recognizes an obligation to defer to Congress’s judgment that a health exception is unnecessary. But if the court finds otherwise, Solicitor General Paul D. Clement will argue, then the Nebraska precedent, not the federal law, should fall. * Leaders of abortion rights groups, caught by surprise when the National Right to Life Committee first publicized the procedure, known medically as “intact dilation and evacuation,” initially said it was very rare. <br> But now, medical organizations and medical school professors who have filed briefs attacking the law say that in fact, doctors performing abortions in the second trimester, when about 10 percent of all abortions take place, often try to remove the fetus in as intact a condition as possible. The goal is to avoid complications caused by the repeated insertion of surgical tools and by sharp bone fragments that can injure the patient internally. <br> The doctors say it is not always possible to tell in advance whether intact removal can be achieved, or whether the process of extraction will dismember the fetus. In any event, they say, intact and “disarticulated” abortions are “part and parcel of the same procedure,” meaning that doctors could not know when they might be placing themselves in legal jeopardy. <br> Abortion opponents are now the ones who describe the procedure as rare, seeking to offer reassurance that banning it would not deprive women of access to safe second-trimester abortions. * “Infanticide” is a potent label, frequently used by abortion opponents. One brief describes the procedure as “killing a child in the birth process.” While this description is true in the sense that uninterrupted gestation leads to birth — “He not busy being born is busy dying,” in the words of the Bob Dylan song — it is well off the mark as a description of what actually occurs. <br> The standard procedure used by Dr. Warren M.

PMID 15096333. </small> * Most internists' practices include large numbers of patients who have had or will seek induced abortion. Although abortion rates are declining, were they to remain stable, an estimated 43% of all U.S. women would have had one or more induced abortions during their reproductive years. More than 30 million U.S. women now share this experience. * Several important demographic and medical trends are evident over the past 3 decades. The proportion of teenage patients having abortions has declined, as has the proportion of married women. Women have been obtaining abortions at progressively earlier gestational ages and by suction, rather than sharp, curettage. As of 1999, over half of all women having abortions were mothers of one or more children. A nationwide survey by the Alan Guttmacher Institute indicated that in 2000 and 2001, most women older than 17 years of age reported a religious affiliation: 43% Protestant, 27% Catholic, 8% other, and 22% no religious affiliation. Forty-six percent of women had not used a contraceptive method in the month in which they conceived; inconsistent use of contraceptive method was the main cause of pregnancy among those using contraception. * Access to abortion clinics remains a problem: Clinics cluster in metropolitan areas. About one third of women of reproductive age live in the 87% of U.S. counties without an abortion provider. Among the nation's 276 metropolitan areas, 86 have no provider. About a quarter of women have to travel 50 miles or more to reach a clinic; this geographic barrier hinders both service provision and follow-up in case of complications. * Unlike most other operations, the cost of abortion has dropped dramatically over the past 3 decades. The current charges are below market value for several reasons. First, the Hyde Amendment cut off federal payment of nearly all abortions for poor women in 1977, and clinics have intentionally tried to keep the price within reach of women of limited means. Seventeen states, including California and New York, currently use state funds to pay for medically necessary abortions; 33 states and the District of Columbia prohibit funding of medically necessary abortions, except in extraordinary cases. Nationwide, only a quarter of women receive services billed directly to public or private insurance. Second, competition between clinics in cities has kept costs low. In 2001 and 2002, the average self-paying woman was charged $372 for a surgical abortion at 10 weeks. Adjusted for the increase in the consumer price index over the past 3 decades, the charge should be several times higher. In general, clinics set medical and surgical abortion prices to be similar so as to eliminate financial reasons for women to choose between the methods. === "The limitations of U.S. statistics on abortion" (1997) === <small> ''The Guttmacher Institute''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120404080239/http:/www.guttmacher.org/pubs/ib14.html "The limitations of U.S. statistics on abortion"]. ''Issues in Brief''. New York: 1997. Archived from the original on 4 April 2012. </small> * There are few authoritative data to support claims regarding how many late-term abortions are performed, and little understanding of the complexities involved in securing such data. This Issues in Brief describes how abortion data are obtained, what they consist of and why they have inherent limitations. * Termination of pregnancy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States. There were 1.5 million abortions in 1992, and the incidence is estimated to have declined to 1.4 million in 1994. Although abortion incidence is the subject of some academic research and much anecdotal reporting, nationally valid data are available from only two sources: the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI). <br> The CDC initiated its enumeration of abortions in 1969, two years after Colorado became the first state to liberalize its abortion law. AGI began its collection of information in 1974, the year after the Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Roe v. Wade that the Constitution protects a woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy prior to the viability of the fetus. After viability, ruled the Court, abortion could be prohibited except when it was necessary to preserve the woman's life or he alth. The CDC collects abortion statistics yearly. AGI, dependent on private funding, has had to limit its data collection in recent times to every four years. * The data collected by the CDC and AGI are complementary, but have different emphases. The CDC, consistent with its federal function, focuses particular attention on the safety of the procedure, while AGI concerns itself with the availability of abortion services throughout the country. <br> The methods of data collection differ as well. The CDC collects most of its information indirectly, mainly through reports from state health departments. Reports for the 45 states that collect information on abortion and the District of Columbia vary in completeness, with some lacking information on as many as 40-50% of the abortions that occur in the state. * [T]he only national data on the incidence of abortion by weeks of gestation come from the CDC reports, which are dependent on state-generated information that is often incomplete. States also vary in their methods of recording gestational age: Some use the number of weeks that have elapsed since the woman's last menstrual period (which overstates the length of gestation), and others record the physician's estimate of gestational age. In addition, individual states, over time, have changed their reporting format, making it difficult to observe trends and make comparisons. <br> The CDC reports group all abortions after 20 weeks of gestation into one category. After the CDC figures are adjusted for underreporting, approximately 16,450 procedures, or roughly 1% of all abortions in 1992, were estimated to have been performed beyond 20 weeks since the woman's last menstrual period. * In 1987 and 1995, AGI collected information nationally on the socioeconomic characteristics of approximately 10,000 women obtaining abortions. The results of the 1995 survey show that the women who are most likely to obtain an abortion have an annual income of less than $15,000, are enrolled in Medicaid, are aged 18-24, are nonwhite or Hispanic, are separated or never-married, live with a partner outside marriage and have no religious affiliation. Catholics are as likely as the general population of women to terminate a pregnancy, Protestants are less likely to do so, and Evangelical Christians are the least likely to do so. * Data have also become more difficult to collect over time as harassment has escalated at abortion clinics or at the offices of physicians for whom abortion is a large part of their medical practice. The violence and fear engendered by some protests probably increases the reluctance of providers to report abortions to the state health authorities or even to respond to private inquiries from AGI. <br> In addition, the most difficult data to obtain are from private practitioners who perform a small number of abortions. Should the nonsurgical methods that are currently being introduced on a trial basis gain widespread acceptance in physicians' offices, the completeness of abortion data would be likely to decrease further. <br> Because information from providers is not likely to improve and, indeed, may erode further, perhaps inquiries regarding abortion should be addressed to the women themselves. However, women are often reluctant to report having had an abortion. In fact, under reporting of abortion is a common problem in surveys around the world, a factor that then hinders the gathering of information on the number of pregnancies that women experience, especially unintended pregnancies. === "Alan Guttmacher Institute, Induced Abortion, Facts in Brief, 2002" (2002) === <small> [https://www.infoplease.com/math-science/health/healthcare/abortion-in-the-united-states "Induced Abortion Facts in Brief"] (2002) Retrieved via InfoPlease January 7, 2007.

Facts in Brief Archived October 13, 2007, at the Wayback Machine from Guttmacher Institute </small> * Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about 4 in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. 22% of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. <br> 40% of pregnancies among white women, 67% among blacks and 53% among Hispanics are unintended. <br> In 2008, 1.21 million abortions were performed, down from 1.31 million in 2000. However, between 2005 and 2008, the long-term decline in abortions stalled. From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions occurred. <br> Each year, two percent of women aged 15?44 have an abortion. Half have had at least one previous abortion. <br> At least half of American women will experience an unintended pregnancy by age 45, and, at current rates, one in 10 women will have an abortion by age 20, one in four by age 30 and three in 10 by age 45. * 18% of U.S. women obtaining abortions are teenagers; those aged 15-17 obtain 6% of all abortions, teens aged 18-19 obtain 11%, and teens younger than age 15 obtain 0.4%. <br> Women in their 20s account for more than half of all abortions; women aged 20-24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and women aged 25-29 obtain 24%. <br> Non-Hispanic white women account for 36% of abortions, non-Hispanic black women for 30%, Hispanic women for 25% and women of other races for 9%. <br> 37% of women obtaining abortions identify as Protestant and 28% as Catholic. <br> Women who have never married and are not cohabiting account for 45% of all abortions. <br> About 61% of abortions are obtained by women who have one or more children. <br> 42% percent of women obtaining abortions have incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level ($10,830 for a single woman with no children). <br> 27% of women obtaining abortions have incomes between 100-199% of the federal poverty level. <br> The reasons women give for having an abortion underscore their understanding of the responsibilities of parenthood and family life. Three-fourths of women cite concern for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner. * 54% of women having abortions used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. <br> 8% of women having abortions have never used a method of birth control; nonuse is greatest among those who are young, unmarried, poor, black, Hispanic, or poorly educated. <br> 46% of women who have abortions had not used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Of these women, 33% had perceived themselves to be at low risk for pregnancy, 32% had had concerns about contraceptive methods, 26% had had unexpected sex and 1% had been forced to have sex. <br> About half of unintended pregnancies occur among the 11% of women who are at risk for unintended pregnancy but are not using contraceptives. Most of these women have practiced contraception in the past. * The number of U.S. abortion providers remained stable between 2005 (1,787) and 2008 (1,793). 87% of all U.S. counties lacked an abortion provider in 2008; 35% of women live in those counties. <br> The number of abortion providers declined by 11% between 1996 and 2000 (from 2,042 to 1,819). 87% of all U.S. counties lacked an abortion provider in 2000. These counties were home to 34% of all 15?44-year-old women. <br> 42% of providers offer very early abortions (before the first missed period) and 95% offer abortion at eight weeks from the last menstrual period. Sixty-four percent offer at least some second-trimester abortion services (13 weeks or later), and 23% offer abortion after 20 weeks. Only 11% of all abortion providers offer abortions at 24 weeks. <br> In 2009, the average amount paid for a nonhospital abortion with local anesthesia at 10 weeks' gestation was $451. * In September 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone to be marketed in the United States as an alternative to surgical abortion. <br> In 2008, 59% of abortion providers, or 1,066 facilities, provided one or more early medication abortions. At least 9% of providers offer only early medication abortion services. <br> Medication abortion accounted for 17% of all nonhospital abortions, and about one-quarter of abortions before nine weeks' gestation, in 2008. * Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures, with minimal?less than 0.05%?risk of major complications that might not need hospital care. <br> Abortions performed in the first trimester pose virtually no long-term risk of such problems as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or birth defect, and little or no risk of preterm or low-birth-weight deliveries. <br> Exhaustive reviews by panels convened by the U.S. and British governments have concluded that there is no association between abortion and breast cancer. There is also no indication that abortion is a risk factor for other cancers. <br> In repeated studies since the early 1980s, leading experts have concluded that abortion does not pose a hazard to women's mental health. <br> The risk of death associated with abortion increases with the length of pregnancy, from one death for every one million abortions at or before eight weeks to one per 29,000 at 16-20 weeks-and one per 11,000 at 21 or more weeks. <br> 58% of abortion patients say they would have liked to have had their abortion earlier. Nearly 60% of women who experienced a delay in obtaining an abortion cite the time it took to make arrangements and raise money. <br> Teens are more likely than older women to delay having an abortion until after 15 weeks of pregnancy, when the medical risks associated with abortion are significantly higher. * In the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, the Supreme Court ruled that women, in consultation with their physician, have a constitutionally protected right to have an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy that is, before viability, free from government interference. <br> In 1992, the Court upheld the right to abortion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. However, the ruling significantly weakened the legal protections previously afforded women and physicians by giving states the right to enact restrictions that do not create an ?undue burden? for women seeking abortion. <br> Thirty-five states currently enforce parental consent or notification laws for minors seeking an abortion. The Supreme Court ruled that minors must have an alternative to parental involvement, such as the ability to seek a court order authorizing the procedure. <br> Even without specific parental involvement laws, six in 10 minors who have an abortion report that at least one parent knew about it. <br> Congress has barred the use of federal Medicaid funds to pay for abortions, except when the woman's life would be endangered by a full-term pregnancy or in cases of rape or incest. <br> 17 states use public funds to pay for abortions for some poor women, but only four do so voluntarily; the rest do so under a court order.[18] About 20% of abortion patients report using Medicaid to pay for abortions[6] (virtually all in states where abortion services are paid for with state dollars). <br> In 2006, publicly funded family planning services helped women avoid 1.94 million unintended pregnancies, which would likely have resulted in about 860,000 unintended births and 810,000 abortions. === “Lessons from Before Roe: Will Past be Prologue?” (March 1, 2003) === [https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2003/03/lessons-roe-will-past-be-prologue “Lessons from Before Roe: Will Past be Prologue?”] The Guttmacher Policy Review, Vol. 6 Iss. 1, March 1, 2003. === * The Supreme Court did not "invent" legal abortion, much less abortion itself, when it handed down its historic Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. Abortion, both legal and illegal, had long been part of life in America. Indeed, the legal status of abortion has passed through several distinct phases in American history. Generally permitted at the nation's founding and for several decades thereafter, the procedure was made illegal under most circumstances in most states beginning in the mid-1800s. In the 1960s, states began reforming their strict antiabortion laws, so that when the Supreme Court made abortion legal nationwide, legal abortions were already available in 17 states under a range of circumstances beyond those necessary to save a woman's life. * Estimates of the number of illegal abortions in the 1950s and 1960s ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year. One analysis, extrapolating from data from North Carolina, concluded that an estimated 829,000 illegal or self-induced abortions occurred in 1967. <br> One stark indication of the prevalence of illegal abortion was the death toll. In 1930, abortion was listed as the official cause of death for almost 2,700 women—nearly one-fifth (18%) of maternal deaths recorded in that year. The death toll had declined to just under 1,700 by 1940, and to just over 300 by 1950 (most likely because of the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s, which permitted more effective treatment of the infections that frequently developed after illegal abortion). By 1965, the number of deaths due to illegal abortion had fallen to just under 200, but illegal abortion still accounted for 17% of all deaths attributed to pregnancy and childbirth that year. And these are just the number that were officially reported; the actual number was likely much higher. <br> Poor women and their families were disproportionately impacted. A study of low-income women in New York City in the 1960s found that almost one in 10 (8%) had ever attempted to terminate a pregnancy by illegal abortion; almost four in 10 (38%) said that a friend, relative or acquaintance had attempted to obtain an abortion. Of the low-income women in that study who said they had had an abortion, eight in 10 (77%) said that they had attempted a self-induced procedure, with only 2% saying that a physician had been involved in any way. <br> These women paid a steep price for illegal procedures. In 1962 alone, nearly 1,600 women were admitted to Harlem Hospital Center in New York City for incomplete abortions, which was one abortion-related hospital admission for every 42 deliveries at that hospital that year. In 1968, the University of Southern California Los Angeles County Medical Center, another large public facility serving primarily indigent patients, admitted 701 women with septic abortions, one admission for every 14 deliveries. * A clear racial disparity is evident in the data of mortality because of illegal abortion: In New York City in the early 1960s, one in four childbirth-related deaths among white women was due to abortion; in comparison, abortion accounted for one in two childbirth-related deaths among nonwhite and Puerto Rican women. <br> Even in the early 1970s, when abortion was legal in some states, a legal abortion was simply out of reach for many. Minority women suffered the most: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that in 1972 alone, 130,000 women obtained illegal or self-induced procedures, 39 of whom died. Furthermore, from 1972 to 1974, the mortality rate due to illegal abortion for nonwhite women was 12 times that for white women. * Although legal abortions were largely unavailable until the years just before Roe, some women were always able to obtain the necessary approval for an abortion under the requirements of their state law. In most states, until just before 1973, this meant demonstrating that a woman's life would be endangered if she carried her pregnancy to term. In some states, especially between 1967 and 1973, a woman also could receive approval for an abortion if it were deemed necessary to protect her physical or mental health, or if the pregnancy had resulted from rape or incest. <br> Even so, the process to obtain approval for a legal abortion could be arduous. In many states, it involved securing the approval of a standing hospital committee established specifically to review abortion requests. Either as a matter of state law or hospital policy, these committees frequently required that additional physicians examine the woman to corroborate her own physician's finding that an abortion was necessary to protect her life or physical health. Likewise, a licensed psychiatrist might be required to second the judgment of a woman's doctor that an abortion was necessary on mental health grounds, or a law enforcement officer might be required to certify that the woman had reported being sexually assaulted. <br> Contemporaneous accounts noted that a woman's ability to navigate this process successfully generally required having a long-standing relationship with a physician. In practice, this meant that the option was only available to those who were able to pay for the review process, in addition to the procedure itself. One study of the 2,775 so-called therapeutic abortions at private, not-for-profit hospitals in New York City between 1951 and 1962 found that 88% were to patients of private physicians, rather than ward patients served by the hospital staff. The abortion to live-birth ratio for white women was five times that of nonwhite women, and 26 times that of Puerto Rican women. * The year before the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, just over 100,000 women left their own state to obtain a legal abortion in [[New York City]]. According to an analysis by The Alan Guttmacher Institute, an estimated 50,000 women traveled more than 500 miles to obtain a legal abortion in New York City; nearly 7,000 women traveled more than 1,000 miles, and some 250 traveled more than 2,000 miles, from places as far as Arizona, Idaho and Nevada. <br> Data from the New York City Department of Health confirm that this option, as difficult as it was, was really only available to the small proportion of women who were able to pay for the procedure plus the expense of travel and lodging. (Nonresidents were not eligible for either Medicaid-covered care in New York or care from the state's public hospitals.) While eight in 10 nonresidents obtaining abortions in the city between July 1971 and July 1972 were white, seven in 10 city residents who underwent the procedure during that time were nonwhite. <br> A serious consequence of having to travel long distances to obtain an abortion was the resulting delay in having the procedure performed, which could raise the risk of complications for the woman. No more than 10% of New York City residents who had an abortion in the city in 1972 did so after the 12th week of pregnancy; in contrast, 23% of women from nonneighboring states who had an abortion in New York City did so after the 12th week. <br> Moreover, a woman who traveled long distances to obtain an abortion not only had to undergo the rigors of travel shortly after a surgical procedure but also was precluded from continuity in her medical care if she needed follow-up services. By the time a complication occurred, an out-of-state woman might already be home, where she would be unable to receive care from the physician who performed the abortion and, perhaps, from any physician with significant abortion experience. * Legal abortion has been part of American life for much of the nation's history. Under English common law, the cornerstone of American jurisprudence, abortions performed prior to "quickening" (the first perceptible fetal movement, which usually occurs after the fourth month of pregnancy) were not criminal offenses. With no state enacting specific legislation during nearly the first third of the nation's history, this traditional principle prevailed. The medical literature of the day, both popular and professional, included frequent references to methods of abortion. <br> In the mid-1800s, Massachusetts enacted the first state law making abortion or attempted abortion at any point in pregnancy a criminal offense. By the turn of the century, almost all states had followed suit. In the early 1960s, only Pennsylvania prohibited all abortions, but 44 other states only allowed abortion when the woman's life would be endangered if she carried the pregnancy to term. Alabama, Colorado, New Mexico, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia permitted abortion if the life or physical health of the woman was in jeopardy; Mississippi allowed abortions in case of life endangerment or rape. <br> Violating these laws could have serious legal consequences, not only for the provider but potentially for others as well. In nine states, the laws considered it a criminal offense to aid, assist, abet or counsel a woman in obtaining an illegal abortion. Fourteen states explicitly made obtaining an abortion, as well as performing one, a crime. Women were rarely convicted for having an abortion; instead, the threat of prosecution often was used to encourage them to testify against the provider. === "Misinformed Consent: The Medical Accuracy of State-Developed Abortion Counseling Materials" (October 23, 2006) === <small> [https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2006/10/misinformed-consent-medical-accuracy-state-developed-abortion-counseling-materials#t1 "Misinformed Consent: The Medical Accuracy of State-Developed Abortion Counseling Materials"]. (October 23, 2006). </small> * Informed consent—the concept that individuals have a right to receive relevant, accurate and unbiased information prior to receiving medical care so they can make sound decisions regarding treatment—is a bedrock principle of medical ethics. Moreover, the obligation to provide such information is mandated by statute or case law in all 50 states. Under the banner of informed consent, a majority of states have enacted abortion counseling laws requiring physicians to provide specified information to women seeking abortions. Many of these laws require the state health department to develop detailed written materials that must be distributed to women prior to the procedure. <br> An analysis of these state-developed materials demonstrates that they do not always measure up to the gold standard of informed consent. Particularly with regard to certain hot-button issues, the information presented is either out-of-date, biased or both. In some cases, the state goes so far as to include information that is patently inaccurate or incomplete, lending credence to the charge that states' abortion counseling mandates are sometimes intended less to inform women about the abortion procedure than to discourage them from seeking abortions altogether. * States have been enacting "informed consent" mandates specific to abortion for decades, and 32 states currently have mandates in effect. In general, they require providers to inform a woman of the nature of the procedure and the risks associated with it—as well as the risks of pregnancy and childbirth—and the "probable gestational age" of the fetus. In some cases, however, the statutes are biased on their face. In seven states, they mandate the provision of negative and unscientific information about abortion and its implications. In five other states, they require that the woman be told that the state favors childbirth over abortion. <br> Whether biased or not, abortion rights activists have tended to oppose counseling mandates specific to abortion, which they consider egregious examples of political interference in the doctor-patient relationship. For its part, the American Medical Association has long opposed any legislative measure that would require "procedure-specific" informed consent. Nonetheless, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992 ruled in favor of abortion-specific informed consent mandates in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. In upholding Pennsyl-vania's law requiring preabortion counseling, the Court said such mandates are permissible as long as the information the law requires to be given to the woman is "truthful and nonmisleading." <br> Given the propensity for states to take advantage of that authority, the Guttmacher Institute undertook a content analysis of state-written counseling materials to better understand the information physicians are required to distribute to women seeking an abortion. In July 2006, we conducted a 50-state investigation to discover in which states the health department had developed materials; we found that 22 states had done so, all under the direction of their legislatures. (One additional state, Oklahoma, has a law requiring the health department to develop materials, but the department has yet to do so.) In most cases, the topics included in the materials were specifically required by law; in other cases, the topics had been selected at the discretion of the health department. <br> Our analysis reveals that although most of the information in the materials about abortion comports with recent scientific findings and the principles of informed consent, some content—specifically, that which is related to breast cancer, psychological impact, fetal pain and referrals for additional care—is either misleading or altogether incorrect. Also, the investigation demonstrates that in a few cases, health departments acted to mitigate the potential harm of biased laws by publishing materials that are somewhat more balanced than the laws themselves. For example, laws in nine states require that the materials include information on the "possible detrimental psychological effects" of abortion; however, in all but two of these states, the materials describe a range of emotions—both positive and negative—a woman could experience. * In Casey, the Supreme Court ruled that it is within the boundaries of informed consent for abortion counseling laws to require additional information that could be useful to a woman should she decide to continue her pregnancy. Accordingly, materials in 20 states provide directories with contact information for resources that offer a range of support services, including adoption services, financial assistance, child care, health services and prenatal care. The referral information can be as brief as referring the woman to a toll-free hotline or as detailed as a list of organizations arranged by county or type of service provided. <br> In all 20 states, these directories include contact information for organizations commonly known as "crisis pregnancy centers" (CPCs). CPCs often bill themselves as organizations that provide comprehensive services and support to women with unplanned pregnancies, including abortion counseling, information on adoption, parenting classes, and baby clothes and equipment. According to a recent report released by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), however, CPCs often provide false and misleading information to pregnant women about the health effects of abortion in hopes of dissuading them from seeking an abortion (see box). Furthermore, according to a June 2006 report by the National Abortion Federation (NAF), the extent to which CPCs "provide real services to women is not as great as they often lead women to believe." Markedly, our analysis found that only two states, Georgia and Wisconsin, include a description of CPCs that clearly indicates that they may not provide comprehensive services and that they are antiabortion organizations. <br> Moreover, even though women considering abortion are, by definition, sexually experienced and at risk of experiencing a subsequent unplanned pregnancy, only 13 of the 20 states provide women with referral information for family planning services. Typically, these lists include contact information for local clinics where contraceptive devices and counseling can be obtained. * Our analysis of state abortion counseling laws and materials reveals that policymakers and public health officials frequently disregard the basic principles of informed consent in favor of furthering a highly politicized antiabortion goal. And, all signs point to their continued interest in doing so. Abortion-specific "informed consent" legislation was introduced in 27 states this year. In some cases, the bills would establish new counseling mandates in states without such a requirement; in others, the bills would amend current counseling requirements. For example, legislation in 12 states would amend current law to require that women be given information on fetal pain. A bill in one state seeks to add information, although discredited, on the link between abortion and breast cancer. <br> This phenomenon, moreover, is not limited to state-level politics; it also plays a role on Capitol Hill. In 2004, the federal "Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act" was introduced in both the House and Senate by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS). Similar to measures passed on the state level, the legislation would require abortion providers to recite a congressionally scripted statement that Congress has determined "an unborn child has the physical structures necessary to experience pain." The bill would also require providers to offer to administer anesthesia to the fetus. According to NAF, however, there is currently no established regimen for administering anesthesia to a fetus during an abortion procedure; NAF's position is that anesthesia should not be administered to a fetus outside of a clinical trial, because doing so poses a risk to the woman. <br> Maintaining the scientific integrity of abortion counseling information goes beyond politics—it is a matter of sound public health policy. Despite the fact that the Supreme Court upheld the legality of abortion-specific mandates and said that a state could express its preference for childbirth over abortion, the Court did not clear the way for the provision of medically inaccurate information that effectively could negate a woman's ability to make an informed decision regarding her own life and health. State and federal policymakers have an obligation to uphold the integrity of information related to the health effects of abortion when enacting these counseling laws, and state departments of health (as well as Congress, if it gets into the act) have an equal obligation when developing the materials. In the current political context, holding policymakers accountable to these informed-consent obligations may be an uphill battle, but it is no less urgent for being so. * In July 2006, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) released the results of an investigation examining the scientific accuracy of information provided by federally funded crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), which have received over $30 million in federal funds under the Bush administration since 2001. (According to the report, most of these funds are not used for abortion counseling, but instead for abstinence-only education. However, CPCs receive additional federal funding for general “capacity building” activities.) The investigation was conducted by minority staff for the House Committee on Government Reform. Committee investigators called 25 centers that receive federal capacity-building grants, posing as pregnant 17-year-olds who were considering abortion and were seeking additional information on the procedure. The investigators reached a CPC staffer at 23 of the 25 centers. <br> According to the report, an overwhelming majority of the centers—20 of the 23—provided “false or misleading information” on the physical and mental health risks of abortion to pregnant women. For example, eight centers told women that their chance of developing breast cancer will rise substantially if they have an abortion. One clinic in particular said there was a 50% greater chance that a woman will develop cancer after an abortion, whereas another said the likelihood could be as high as 80% greater. <br> In addition, seven centers informed the caller that there is an increased risk of fertility problems after abortion. One center told the caller that having an abortion “could destroy your chances of ever having children again.” <br> Also, 13 of the 23 centers told callers that having an abortion would cause a host of detrimental mental health outcomes. One center, for instance, said that after an abortion, the risk of suicide “goes up by seven times.” Others asserted that women could suffer from a range of negative outcomes such as guilt, numbness, anxiety, drug use, eating disorders and sexual dysfunction. * Alarmingly, this investigation also highlighted the fact that CPCs often mask their antiabortion agenda to attract pregnant women who are seeking medical advice and dissuade them from obtaining an abortion. Many centers act under the guise of organizations that provide pregnant women with a comprehensive set of options, including abortion services, even though CPCs neither provide abortions nor referrals for abortions. After pulling together the results of the investigation, the authors concluded, “A pregnant teenager who relied on the information from these federally funded centers would make her decision about whether to give birth or terminate her pregnancy based on erroneous facts and misinformation.” The report demonstrates the extent to which CPCs grossly distort the facts when it comes to discussing the risks associated with abortion—all in an effort to promote an antiabortion message. === "Get "In the Know": Questions About Pregnancy, Contraception and Abortion" === <small> Guttmacher.org [https://web.archive.org/web/20080311171704/http:/www.guttmacher.org/in-the-know/characteristics.html "Get "In the Know": Questions About Pregnancy, Contraception and Abortion"]. Archived from the original on March 11, 2008. </small> * What is the typical age of a woman having an abortion? <br> The majority of U.S. women having abortions (56%) are in their 20s. * Do women who have an abortion want children? <br> Six in 10 U.S. women having abortions are already mothers. More than half intend to have (more) children in the future. * Do women with religious affiliations have abortions? <br> Nearly eight in 10 U.S. women obtaining an abortion report a religious affiliation (43% are Protestant, 27% Catholic and 8% another religion). Among all women aged 15–44, 51% are Protestant, 28% are Catholic and 5% belong to other religions. * Are there rural-urban differences in abortion? <br> Most reproductive-age women in the United States (79%) live in metropolitan areas; women in these areas account for 88% of all U.S. abortions. Most abortion providers (95%) are also located in metropolitan areas, increasing access to abortion there. * What is the racial or ethnic background of women who have abortions? <br> No racial or ethnic group makes up a majority of women having abortions: 41% are white, 32% are black and 20% are Hispanic. * What racial or ethnic group has the highest abortion rate? <br> The overall abortion rate is 21 per 1,000 U.S. women (i.e., each year 2.1% of all women of reproductive age have an abortion). Black and Hispanic women have higher abortion rates than non-Hispanic white women do. (The rates are 49 per 1,000 and 33 per 1,000 among black and Hispanic women, respectively, vs. 13 per 1,000 among non-Hispanic white women.) Black and Hispanic women have higher abortion rates primarily because they have higher rates of unintended pregnancy. * What are the trends in the characteristics of women having abortions? <br> Over time, women having abortions have become increasingly likely to be poor, nonwhite and unmarried, and to already have one or more children. * Why do women have abortions? <br> Most U.S. women cite more than one factor contributing to their decision to have an abortion: Almost three-quarters say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities; about three-quarters say they cannot afford to have a child; and almost half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner. === "Parental Involvement in Minors' Abortions" === <small> [https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/parental-involvement-minors-abortions "Parental Involvement in Minors' Abortions"]. Guttmacher.org, March 14, 2016. </small> * The majority of states require parental involvement in a minor’s decision to have an abortion. Most of these states require the consent or notification of only one parent, usually 24 or 48 hours before the procedure, but a handful of states require the involvement of both parents. Some states require the minor and a parent to provide government-issued identification to the abortion provider and/or as part of notarizing the parental consent form. In a small number of states, the parent must also provide proof of parenthood. Several states allow grandparents or other adult relatives to be involved in place of the minor’s parents, and many waive parental involvement requirements if there is a medical emergency or the young person is the victim of abuse or neglect. <br> Because the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states may not give parents an absolute veto over their child's decision to have an abortion, most state parental involvement requirements include a judicial bypass procedure that allows a minor to receive court approval for an abortion without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Some states require judges to use specific criteria when determining whether to grant a waiver of parental involvement. These criteria can include the young person's intelligence, emotional stability and understanding of the possible consequences of obtaining an abortion. Many states require a judge to use the unusually strict legal standard of “clear and convincing evidence” to determine whether a minor is sufficiently mature and the abortion is in their best interest prior to waiving the parental involvement requirement. * 37 states require parental involvement in a minor’s decision to have an abortion. <br> 21 states require only parental consent; 3 of these require both parents’ consent. <br> 6 states require both parental notification and consent. <br> 10 states require only parental notification; 1 of these requires that both parents be notified. <br> 6 states permit a minor to obtain an abortion if a grandparent or other adult relative is involved in the decision. <br> 11 states require identification for parental consent. <br> 4 states require proof of parenthood for parental consent. <br> 2 states require a minor’s identification to have an abortion. * 36 states that require parental involvement have an alternative process for minors seeking an abortion. <br> 36 states include a judicial bypass procedure, which allows a minor to obtain approval from a court. <br> 7 states require judges to use specific criteria, such as a minor’s intelligence or emotional stability, for deciding whether to waive parental involvement. <br> 15 states require judges to use the “clear and convincing evidence” standard to determine whether the minor is mature and the abortion is in their best interest when deciding whether to waive parental involvement. * Most states that require parental involvement make exceptions under certain circumstances. <br> 34 states permit a minor to obtain an abortion in a medical emergency. <br> 15 states permit a minor to obtain an abortion in cases of abuse, assault, incest or neglect. === “Is Abortion Legal in Every State?” (October 27, 2019) === <small> Tom Head, [https://www.thoughtco.com/is-abortion-legal-in-every-state-721094 “Is Abortion Legal in Every State?”], ''Thoughtco'', (October 27, 2019) </small> * Abortion is legal in every state and has been since 1973. In the subsequent decades, however, states have imposed restrictions on abortions. In 2018 and 2019, a number of them, including Georgia, Ohio, and Kentucky, introduced "heartbeat" bills to prevent women from terminating their pregnancies beyond the six-week mark. At this point, a fetal heartbeat can be detected, but heartbeat bills have faced criticism from reproductive rights activists who argue that many women don't know they're pregnant at this early stage, known as the embryonic period. As of October 2019, courts had blocked each of the heartbeat bills from passing on the grounds that these laws are unconstitutional. * The Supreme Court's 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade established that the U.S. Constitution protects one's right to have an abortion. Due to this court decision, states are prohibited from banning abortions performed before the point of viability. <br> The Roe decision originally established viability at 24 weeks; Casey v. Planned Parenthood (1992) shortened it to 22 weeks. This prohibits states from banning abortions before about five-and-a-quarter months of gestation. The heartbeat bills passed by various states sought to ban abortion well before the point of viability, which is why the courts declared them unconstitutional. * In the 2007 case Gonzales v. Carhart, the Supreme Court upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Act of 2003. This law criminalizes the procedure of intact dilation and extraction, a technique commonly used during second-trimester abortions. * Although abortion is legal in every state, it is not easily accessible everywhere. Anti-abortion activists and legislators have managed to drive some abortion clinics out of business, a strategy that effectively functions as a state-level ban in places with few abortion providers. Mississippi is a case in point; in 2012, the state nearly lost its only abortion clinic due to a law requiring abortion providers to be "certified obstetrician/gynecologists with privileges at local hospitals." At the time, just one doctor at Jackson Women's Health Organization had these privileges. <br> Seven years after Mississippi's sole abortion clinic fought to stay open, the fate of Missouri's only such clinic hung in the balance because of a licensing dispute. In early 2019, Missouri's health department failed to renew the clinic’s license, arguing that the facility was out of compliance. Planned Parenthood opposed this decision, but the clinic's future remained uncertain and tied up in the courts, as of fall 2019. In addition to Missouri and Mississippi, four other states—Kentucky, West Virginia, North Dakota, and South Dakota—have just one abortion clinic. <br> The reasons several states have just one abortion clinic stems from Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) laws. This legislation limits abortion clinics through complex and medically unnecessary building requirements or by requiring providers to have admitting privileges at local hospitals—the case in Mississippi in 2012. Other laws, specifically those that require ultrasounds, waiting periods, or pre-abortion counseling, pressure women to reconsider ending their pregnancies. === "Women's Health Policy Facts" === <small> [https://web.archive.org/web/20090225020023/http:/www.kff.org/womenshealth/upload/3269-02.pdf "Women's Health Policy Facts"] (PDF).

While abortion is one of the most common medical procedures for women, access and availability of services has been subject to ethical and political debates. Federal and state policies have a substantial impact on women’s access to abortion services. ** p.1 * In 2005, 1.21 million abortions were performed in the U.S., down from 1.61 million (the all-time high) in 1990. ** p.1 * 49% of pregnancies were unintended in the U.S., and of these, 42% resulted in abortions in 2001 (the most recent data available). ** p.1 * The abortion rate (the number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44) was 19.4 in 2005, a 9% drop since 2000. **p.1 * 89% of abortions were performed in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy in 2004, with about 63% in the first eight weeks and 1% of abortions at 21 weeks or later. ** p.1 * About 19% of women having abortions in the U.S. are teens; 33% are between the ages of 20 and 24; and 48% are ages 25 and older.7 Two-thirds (67%) of women have never been married and about 61% of women have given birth before. ** p.1 * Abortion rates for black women (49 per 1,000 women), Hispanic women (33 per 1,000) and Asian women (31 per 1,000) are higher than those of white women (13 per 1,000).9 ** p.1 * Abortion rates are higher among low-income women. The abortion rate for poor women has been increasing since 1994, so that the procedure is becoming increasingly concentrated among poor women, including those on Medicaid ** p.1 * Surgical abortions account for the majority (87%) of abortions performed in the U.S. The most common surgical methods include vacuum aspiration, dilation and curettage (D&C), and dilation and evacuation (D&E). Surgical abortion is generally not performed until the sixth week of gestation. ** p.1 * In 2005, medical abortions accounted for approximately 13% of all abortions (compared to 6% in 2001) and 22% of abortions before nine weeks’ gestation. ** p.1 * Since the 1990s, 31 states have enacted bans on procedures called “partial-birth” abortions, with 14 state laws (GA, IN, KS, LA, MS, MT, NM, ND, OH, OK, SC, SD, TN, UT) in effect. All include an exception to the ban: four states (GA, KS, NM, OH) include a health exception and the rest of the states include an exception only when a woman’s life is in danger. ** p.1 * In 2003, the President signed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which banned “partial-birth” abortions with no health exception. This legislation was upheld by the Supreme Court in the April 2007 Gonzales v. Carhart decision. The procedure banned by this Act is sometimes medically defined as intact dilation and extraction. Following the high court ruling, state legislatures have been reviving their bans on late-term abortion procedures previously blocked by lower courts. ** p.1 * Complications from abortions are rare, with less than 0.3% of abortion patients in the U.S. experiencing a major complication requiring hospitalization.16 The annual risk of death associated with abortion has been approximately one death per 100,000 legal abortions. ** p.1 * The cost of an abortion varies depending on factors such as location, facility, timing, and type of procedure. In 2005, a nonhospital abortion at 10 weeks’ gestation ranged from $90 to $1,800 (average: $430), whereas an abortion at 20 weeks’ gestation ranged from $350 to $4,520 (average: $1,260).24 Costs are higher for a medical abortion than a first-trimester surgical abortion. ** p.1 • Based on these restrictions, 32 states and DC fund abortions through Medicaid only in the cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment. SD covers abortions only in the cases of life endangerment, which does not comply with federal requirements under the Hyde Amendment. IN, UT and WI have expanded coverage to women whose physical health is jeopardized, and IA, MS, UT and VA also include fetal abnormality cases. ** p.1 * Seventeen states (AK, AZ, CA, CT, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, MT, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA, WV) use their own funds to cover all or most “medically necessary” abortions sought by low-income women under Medicaid. ** p.1 * Five states (ID, KY, MO, ND, OK) restrict insurance coverage of abortion services in private plans: OK limits coverage to life endangerment, rape or incest circumstances; and the other four states limit coverage to cases of life endangerment. ** p.2 * Twelve states (CO, IL, KY, MA, MS, NE, ND, OH, PA, RI, SC, VA) restrict abortion coverage in insurance plans for public employees, with CO and KY restricting insurance coverage of abortion under any circumstances. ** p.2 * U.S. laws also ban federal funding of abortions for Federal employees and their dependents, Native Americans covered by the Indian Health Service, military personnel and their dependents, and women with disabilities covered by Medicare. ** p.2 * 1,787 facilities provided abortions in 2005 in the U.S., a 2% decline from the year 2000. ** p.2 * 87% of U.S. counties have no abortion provider, and 35% of women of reproductive age (15–44) live in these counties. Women in the Midwest and South are more likely to live in a county without a provider (50% and 47%, respectively) than women in the Northeast and West (17% and 15%, respectively). ** p.2 * Over half of abortion providers (57%) performed early medical abortions in 2005, up from 33% in 2001. More than half of early medical abortions were provided at abortion clinics. ** p.2 • Most abortion providers performed abortions within the first eight weeks. 40% performed early abortion within first four weeks’ gestation, whereas 8% of abortion providers performed abortions at 24 weeks. ** p.2 • In recent years, 28 states have adopted laws and regulations specific to abortion clinics and providers. These laws involve special requirements for abortion providers to have health facility licenses and ambulatory surgical center licenses, or requirements that abortions after a specified gestation age be performed in a hospital, or that providers have admitting privileges in local hospitals. These policies can make it more difficult for providers to offer abortion services to women. ** p.2 * The Federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act was passed in 1994 to prohibit acts of physical or psychological intimidation to persons seeking or providing reproductive health services. Fifteen states (CA, CO, KS, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MT, NV, NY, NC, OR, WA, WI) and DC go beyond the FACE protections and prohibit certain specified actions aimed at abortion providers, such as threatening or intimidating staff, property damage and telephone harassment. ** p.2 * Twenty-four states have passed requirements for women to wait a specified time (usually 24 hours) between receiving counseling and undergoing an abortion.36 As a result, women must make two visits to the clinic, which can be difficult for those who live far from the clinic. 8% of women travel more than 100 miles to access abortion services and 19% travel between 50 and 100 miles. ** p.2 • Thirty-five states have adopted “parental involvement” laws that require notification and/or consent of one or both parents before a minor has an abortion.38 Most states with these laws apply them to girls under age 18, although several set the level to 16 or 17. ** p.2 === “Management of unintended and abnormal pregnancy: comprehensive abortion care” (April 27, 2009) === <small> Stanley K. Henshaw, ”Unintended pregnancy and abortion in the USA: Epidemiology and public health impact” in Paul M, Lichtenberg ES Borgatta L Grimes DA Stubblefield P Creinin (eds) [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Management_of_Unintended_and_Abnormal_Pr/iK7xrRr2p9sC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Management of unintended and abnormal pregnancy: comprehensive abortion care”]. (April 27, 2009) Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell. ISBN 978-1-4051-7696-5. </small> * About half of US women with unintended pregnancies choose to resolve them by abortion. In general these women believe that, given their life circumstances, taking responsibility for a new baby would be a mistake. The demographic characteristic most associated with the decision to terminate an unintended pregnancy is marital status: in 2001, 58% of unmarried women with unintended pregnancies decided on abortion, whereas only 27% of married women did so. Evidently the security of having a committed partner and the financial resources of a marriage allow most married women to continue their unplanned pregnancies. * Women of all education levels have occasion to seek abortion services, but college graduates have a lower abortion rate than less-educated women. Some 41% of abortions are obtained by women with some post-high school education but who are not college graduates. <br> Never-married women obtain the bulk of abortions (67%); married women account for only 17%. The abortion rate is higher among never-married women (35 per 1,000) than among previously married or currently married women. The high rate among never –married women results partly form their young age compared with the other marital groups. <br> Women living with a partner to whom they are not married account for 25% of abortions but only about 10% of women in the population. Their abortion rate is almost two times that of other unmarried women. Thus, cohabitating is one of the strongest risk factors for abortion. <br> A majority (61%) of women having abortions in 2004 had had at least one birth, and one third had had two or more. When age is taken into account, women who have children are substantially more likely than women without children to have an abortion, and the highest abortion rate is found women with four or more children. Such women may have difficulty using contraception and thus may have unplanned children as well as abortions. * The high relative abortion rate of low-income women is reflected in the abortion rate according to Medicaid coverage. Twenty-four per cent of abortion patients say they are covered by Medicaid (although not necessarily for the abortion per se, except in the states that allow Medicaid to pay for abortion services), while only 9% of all US women of reproductive age have Medicaid coverage (as of 2000). Thus, the abortion rate of women with Medicaid coverage is three times as high as that of other women. <br> Women covered by Medicaid have a number of attributes that may contribute to their relatively high risk of abortion: they are disproportionately non-White, unmarried, and poor, all characteristics associated with high abortion rates. In addition, many women on Medicaid are covered by that program because of a prior accidental pregnancy that they carried to term and are prone to unplanned pregnancy. * More than half (62%) of all induced abortions in the USA occur at eight weeks’ gestation or earlier, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or two weeks before the estimated date of conception. Approximately 12% o abortions are performed past 12 weeks LMP, including 1.4% past 20 weeks LMP. In most developed countries other than England and Wales, somewhat fewer abortions take place after 12 weeks LMP, probably because women respond more promptly to unwanted pregnancies and because restrictions in some countries make later abortions more difficult to obtain. Moreover, most other countries provide universal health insurance that covers abortion services. In contrast, women in the USA may be delayed by difficulty gaining access to abortion services and acquiring money to pay for the procedure.<br> In all countries with relevant statistics, teenagers obtain abortions later in gestation on average than do older women. In the USA in 2004, 27% of abortions obtained by women younger than age 15 years were past 12 weeks LMP as were 17% among women aged 15 to 19 years, compared with 11% among women aged 20 and older. Abortions generally occur earlier with age until age 40, after which a few women are delayed because they mistake pregnancy for the menstrual changes of menopause.<br> The delay among younger women probably reflects their inexperience in recognizing the symptoms of pregnancy, their reluctance to accept the reality of their situation, lack of knowledge of where to seek advice and services, and their hesitation to confide in adults. In addition, teenagers may have more difficulty paying for abortions, and minors may be affected by parental consent or notification requirements. In the USA laws requiring minors to either consult their parents or obtain a court order permitting the abortion cause some teenagers to experience delay in obtaining abortions. * Both first and second trimester abortions can be provided safely in clinics and physicians’ offices. The proportion of US abortions performed in hospitals has declined from more than 50% in 1973 to 5% in 2005. The number of hospitals where abortions are performed has dropped sharply, as has the average number of abortions per hospital provider. A tabulation of data on approximately 300,000 abortions in 14 states in 1992 indicates that, even after 20 weeks LMP, 83% were performed outside of hospitals. Near universal agreement as to the safety of second trimester abortion outside of hospitals is further demonstrated by the finding that in 2001 about 55% of abortion clinics offered the service at 18 weeks LMP or later. * Despite the large number of women who need abortion care, services are less available than for other common medical conditions. A significant but unknown number of women continue unwanted pregnancies because of lack of access to an abortion provider. * Harassment by antiabortion activists adds to the difficulty women experience in accessing abortion services and the challenges of providing services. In 2000, 80% of large nonhospital facilities (400 or more abortions a year) in the USA experienced picketing. Picketing was much less common among low-volume providers, only 10% of providers that performed fewer than 30 abortions reported being picketed. Other forms of harassment were also fairly common. Of large providers, 28% reported one or more incidents of picketing with physical contact or blocking of patients, and 18% reported vandalism. These activities impede access for women who might be intimidated by aggressive protestors. <br> The stigmatization of abortion also undoubtedly affects many women, although this factor is difficult to measure. Fear of the disapproval of relatives or others in the community may inhibit many women who would choose to end their pregnancies. Some women in the USA remain unaware that abortion services are legal and available. * [T]he legalization of abortion in the USA, which began in several states in 1967 and culminated in the “Roe v. Wade” Supreme Court decision in 1973, brought significant health and social benefits. Before the laws changed, illegal abortions had been common. From a survey in North Carolina in 1967, researchers estimated that 829,000 abortions were occurring in the country as a whole, which is about 80% of the number of legal abortions that took place in 1975, when legal abortion services were available in all states. Other studies based on the change in the birthrate after legalization suggest that the number of illegal abortions was around 600,000 to 700,000 per year. Legalization converted those abortions to safe procedures and allowed additional women, some at high risk of complications of pregnancy and childbirth, to avoid unwanted childbearing. <br> Over the decade spanning 1958 through 1967, more than 3,4000 women died from induced abortions, almost all illegal. The number rose during the 1950s and reached at least 430 in 1961, then fell during the 1960s when more physicians started providing abortions. The number of deaths fell rapidly after abortion was legalized, form 251 in 1966 to 14 in 1976. In recent years, the number of deaths has ranged between 4 and 12 per year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During the five years from 2000 to 2004, only 43 deaths were related to legal abortion an two to illegal abortion, for a mortality rate of 0.7 per 100,000 legal abortions. <br> In the 10 years between 1970 and 1980, legal abortion in the USA is estimated to have prevented 1,500 pregnancy related deaths and thousands of other complications. * Although contraceptive use increases after abortion, women remain at elevated risk of having another abortion because they are sexually active, willing to terminate an unintended pregnancy by abortion, have difficulty using contraceptive methods effectively, and probably become pregnancy more easily than other women. In 2004, 47% of US women obtaining abortions had had a prior induced abortion: 27% had had one, 12% two, and 8% three of more prior abortions. From 1973 until reaching a high of 49% in 1997, this percentage increased each year along with the proportion of women in the population who had had abortions and were therefore at risk of an additional abortion. In 1994, about 30% of all US women aged 15 to 44 years had had one or more induced abortions, and the abortion rate among the women who had had a previous abortion was about twice that of women who had ever had an abortion Canadian statistics show that approximately 25% of teenage abortion patients will have another abortion within the next four years. An analysis of the NFSG found that 42% of US women who had a repeat abortion did so within two years of the prior abortion. * The high rate of repeat abortion does not mean that large numbers of women are relying on abortion as their primary means of birth control. A woman who used only abortion to limit her number of children to two would have more than 30 abortions during her lifetime. No evidence indicates that American women have such large numbers of abortions. <br> On the contrary, women tend to improve their contraceptive use after having an abortion. According to the 2001 Guttmacher Institute survey of 10,683 abortion patients, 46% of women having a first abortion had used no contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. If they had continued to use o method, on the order of 85 to 90% of second abortion would have occurred among women who had used no method because of the high pregnancy rate of non-users. In fact, the distribution of method use was similar to that of women having a first abortion, indicating that women who have an abortion improve their contraceptive use to about the same level as the women generally. The Guttmacher Institute analysis found little difference between first and subsequent abortions in the reasons for non-use or inconsistent use of contraception.<br> A number of studies have sought risk factors for repeat abortion but gew have been identified. The best predictors of repeat abortion are factors that reflect exposure to risk, most notably age; the older a woman is the more opportunity she has had to experience two unintended pregnancies that end in abortion. A logistic regression analysis of the Guttmacher patient survey found that women having second or higher order abortions are also more likely to have existing children, controlling for age and other demographic variables. An analysis of the NSFG in the same report found that almost half (47%) of women who have multiple abortions also have unintended births, another consequence of unintended pregnancy and therefore a risk factor for abortion. Other studies have found that women who have a second or higher order abortion engage in more frequent sexual intercourse than women having a first abortion. === “Abortion patients in 1994–1995: characteristics and contraceptive use” (1996) === <small> Henshaw SK and Kost K, [https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/pubs/journals/2814096.pdf “Abortion patients in 1994–1995: characteristics and contraceptive use”], ''Family Planning Perspectives'', 1996, 28(4) </small> * Annual national data describing women having abortions in the United States cover only basic demographic characteristics—age, race, ethnicity, marital status, and prior births and abortions—as well as the procedure used for the abortion and the length of the pregnancy. This information is collected by most states, and it is compiled and published at the national and state levels by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, some states have no abortion reporting system, and the CDC reports understate the number of abortions performed. The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) conducts periodic surveys of all abortion providers throughout the country and uses the results together with the CDC data to estimate the number of abortions nationwide and the abortion rate according to a variety of characteristics. ** p.140 * Although white women obtain 61% of abortions, their abortion rate, reflected by an index of 0.8, is well below that of women of other races. The index for black women is 2.2, or nearly triple that of white women, and the differential has increased since 1987. The index for women of races other than black or white is 1.6, but this may be inflated by the inclusion of some Hispanic women in this group (as explained in the methodology section). In the 1987 survey, which classified all Hispanic women as white or black, the age-standardized abortion rate for women of “other” races was only slightly above that of all women; the 1994—1995 index would be about the same as the 1987 rate if Hispanics were excluded from this group. <br> Hispanic women have a much higher abortion rate than non-Hispanics, but their rate is not as high as that of black women. The index for Hispanics is reduced some-what when standardized for age (from 1.9 to 1.8), but is still roughly twice that of non-Hispanic women (0.9). The age-standardized index for Hispanics has increased substantially from its 1987 level of 1.4. ** p.143 * As expected, a large majority (89%) of women having abortions live in counties classified by the federal government as metropolitan, and metropolitan women are twice as likely as nonmetropolitan women to have abortions (indices of 1.1 and 0.6, respectively). The comparatively low abortion index of nonmetropolitan women may reflect their difficulty in gaining access to abortion services, which are unavailable in the counties where 85% of nonmetropolitan women reside. The limited availability of abortion facilities is indicated by the finding that 43% of the patients surveyed traveled outside their home county for abortion services (not shown). In 1987, by contrast, 39% of abortions took place outside the woman’s county of residence. ** p.144 * The patterns of contraceptive use among abortion patients may or may not mirror the use patterns of all women at risk of unintended pregnancy. Each contraceptive method entails a different probability of becoming pregnant, and women’s method choice often differs by their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Consequently, users of each method may differ in their likelihood of carrying an unexpected pregnancy to term or of having an abortion. For example, women who use only periodic abstinence may, for religious or other reasons, be more likely than users of other methods to carry an unexpected pregnancy to term. ** p.144 * Poverty status is strongly associated with contraceptive use; 64% of the women whose family income is at least twice the federal poverty level were using a method, compared with 49% of those with an income under the poverty level. Of the racial and ethnic groups, white non-Hispanic women are the most likely to have been using a method (67%), while Hispanic women are the least likely (45%). ** p.145 * Among the women who experienced contraceptive failure, the methods used differ little among the racial or ethnic groups. The largest differences are that black women are more likely than nonblack and Hispanic women to have used the condom and less likely to have used withdrawal. Age differences are marked: Whereas 76% of women younger than 18 had used condoms, only 49% of women 30 or older had used this method. Pill use peaked (at 25%) among women aged 20—29, while use of “other” methods (mainly the diaphragm, sponge, spermicides and periodic abstinence) increased sharply with age, from 1% of women younger than 18 to 24% of those 30 and older. Possibly because age is correlated with income, the proportion who used other methods also increased as family income as a proportion of the poverty level rose. Otherwise, there is little association of method used with poverty status. ** p.146 * Between 1987 and 1994—1995, condom use among abortion patients who were using a method when they became pregnant increased dramatically among all women, regardless of race, ethnicity, age or poverty status; the increase was greatest among black and Hispanic women. In the same time period, pill use declined among abortion patients who had a contraceptive failure. This decline occurred primarily among blacks and Hispanics, but substantial decreases also took place among women of all ages except those 30 and older, and among those of all income levels except the highest. ** p.146 * The risk of unintended pregnancy leading to abortion varies widely among demographic subgroups. The factors associated with high risk are relatively young age (18—24), being separated or divorced, cohabiting while unmarried, being Hispanic or of a minority race, having a low income, being covered by Medicaid and having had four or more births. Factors that are associated with low abortion rates include being a born-again or Evangelical Christian, being aged 35 or older, having high income, living in a nonmetropolitan county, being married and identifying with a religion other than Catholicism. ** p.147 * To further lower the abortion rate, the focus should continue to be on reducing the number of couples who use no contraceptive method at all. Most of those who were not using a method had used one in the past and conceived within a very short period after discontinuing use. Thus, it is very important for couples to avoid lapses in method use and to immediately adopt another method when they discontinue one. <br> Next in importance would be to improve the effectiveness with which condoms are used, since one-third of abortion patients experienced the failure of this method. Because most of these failures probably resulted from inconsistent use, the need for protection at every act of intercourse should be stressed. ** p.147 === "The Accessibility of Abortion Services in the United States" (1991) === <small> Henshaw, S.K.

Retrieved 25 October 2017. </small> * METHODS: In 2001–2002, The Alan Guttmacher Institute surveyed all known abortion providers in the United States, collecting information on their delivery of abortion services and on the number of abortions performed. <br> RESULTS: A minority of abortion providers offer services before five weeks from the last menstrual period (37%) or after 20 weeks (24% or fewer), but the proportions have increased since 1993. Providers estimate that one-quarter of women having abortions in nonhospital facilities travel 50 miles or more for services, and that 7% are initially unsure of their abortion decision. The majority of providers (59%) say that these clients usually receive abortions during a single visit. An average self-paying client was charged $372 for a surgical abortion at 10 weeks in 2001, up from $319 in 1997; only 26% of clients receive services billed directly to public or private insurance. Early medical abortions are becoming increasingly available but are more expensive than surgical abortions. More than half (56%) of providers experienced antiabortion harassment in 2000, but types of harassment other than picketing have declined since 1996. ** p.16 * Unintended pregnancies and induced abortions are common and occur among women of all social and economic groups. Yet the availability and accessibility of abortion services have long been a concern for reproductive health professionals, as women seeking an abortion have a fairly narrow time period during which they can obtain the procedure. Measures of availability have generally declined since 1982: The number of abortion providers in the United States has fallen by 37%, and the proportion of women who live in counties with no abortion provider has increased from 28% to 34%.2 In 2000, 86 of the country’s 276 metropolitan areas and almost all nonmetropolitan areas had no abortion provider. <br> Accessibility is harder to measure than availability, because of the variety of possible barriers, both tangible and intangible. Besides distance from a provider, cost is the most obvious tangible barrier. The provision of specific services, such as second-trimester pregnancy termination, can determine accessibility for individual women. Among the barriers that are less tangible, and therefore more difficult to quantify, are women’s lack of accurate information about the legality of abortion and about where and how to obtain abortion care, misinformation about abortion, intimidation by protesters, state-required waiting periods and mandated counseling topics that may not be relevant to a woman’s personal situation, and antiabortion attitudes among family or friends. ** p.16 * Providers typically set a minimum and maximum gestation at which they are willing and able to perform an abortion. These limits are expressed as the number of weeks since the woman’s last menstrual period (LMP). Thirty-seven percent of facilities that offer abortion services provide either surgical or medical abortions at four weeks or less LMP (Figure 1), often for any pregnancy that can be confirmed by ultrasound or even a pregnancy test. This represents a sharp increase from the level of 7% reported in 1993 (not shown). Eighty-two percent of abortion facilities perform abortions at six weeks LMP. Abortion clinics are more likely than other types of facilities to offer abortions at five and six weeks LMP. <br> More than 90% of all abortion providers offer services at 8–10 weeks LMP. However, the proportion drops with each additional week of gestation after eight weeks LMP (typically four weeks after the woman’s first missed period) and declines steeply after 12 weeks. At 20 weeks, for example, only 33% of all providers offer abortion services, and at 21 weeks, 24% still do so. <br> Hospitals and abortion clinics are much more likely than other providers to offer services past 12 weeks. At 13–15 weeks LMP, a higher proportion of abortion clinics than of hospitals perform abortions, while at 17–23 weeks LMP, the reverse is true. (Many hospitals, however, provide very few abortions and do so only in extraordinary circumstances, such as when the fetus has an abnormality or the pregnancy poses severe health risks to the woman.) After 24 weeks LMP, the number of providers offering abortion services again drops off sharply. Only 2% of all abortion providers (approximately 11 hospitals and 19 abortion clinics) provide abortions at 26 weeks. ** p.18 * Respondents estimated that 8% of women having abortions in nonhospital facilities travel more than 100 miles to obtain this service, and that an additional 16% travel 50–100 miles.* Travel patterns appear to have changed little over time. In both 1993 and 1997, providers also reported that 24% of clients traveled at least 50 miles, including 8% and 7%, respectively, who traveled more than 100 miles. <br> The proportion traveling long distances varies by geographic region. In the East South Central and the West North Central states, 43% and 37%, respectively, of women travel at least 50 miles to obtain an abortion, including 14–15% who travel more than 100 miles. In contrast, only 11% of women in the Middle Atlantic states travel 50 miles or more. ** p.18 * Fifty-nine percent of nonhospital providers nationally and 60% of providers in states that do not require in-person advance counseling said that their clients usually obtain abortions in a single visit, while 15% and 14%, respectively, said that this never happens. Single-visit service is highly associated with caseload: All facilities that provided 5,000 or more abortions in 2000 usually perform abortions in a single visit, compared with only 20% of facilities providing fewer than 30 abortions (not shown). ** p.19 * We asked each nonhospital provider to indicate the usual charges that a woman would incur at that location for an abortion (with local anesthesia) at various gestations, including fees for any services always required for an abortion client, even if these are not billed through the provider (e.g., laboratory tests). On average, surveyed facilities charge $468 for a surgical abortion at 10 weeks LMP (Table 1). The lowest average charge ($364) is reported by specialized abortion clinics, and the highest average charge ($632) is reported by physicians’ offices. ** p.19 * As a pregnancy advances into the second trimester, the abortion procedure becomes more complex, because it requires more time and more skill on the part of the clinician, and charges increase. At 16 weeks, the mean and median charges ($774 and $650, respectively) are more than half again the amounts at 10 weeks (Table 1). At 20 weeks, the mean and median charges increase to $1,179 and $1,042, respectively. In the second trimester, charges vary relatively little by type of provider, but the range remains wide, with some providers charging 2–5 times the average. ** p.19 * One-third of abortion facilities provided early medical abortions in the first half of 2001, and this proportion was increasing rapidly. An estimated 37,000 early medical abortions occurred in this time period; 35,000 of them were provided by nonhospital facilities. One-quarter of early medical abortions in nonhospital facilities were performed using methotrexate, which was available before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved mifepristone in September 2000. However, 82% of medical abortion providers were using mifepristone—although some of these used methotrexate as well. Both drugs are used in conjunction with misoprostol, a prostaglandin that is administered with- in several days of the mifepristone or methotrexate to cause contractions and expel the products of conception. <br> The FDA-approved labeling specifies a fairly restrictive protocol for abortion using mifepristone: use within the first seven weeks of gestation; a mifepristone dose of 600 mg; misoprostol administered orally in the physician’s office; and a follow-up visit to the provider for an examination to confirm that the pregnancy has been completely terminated. However, experts who have reviewed published studies have concluded that more convenient and less-expensive procedures are equally safe and effective. ** p.20 * The great majority of providers of early medical abortion used a dose of 200 mg of mifepristone (83%), and most permitted the client to take the misoprostol at home rather than requiring her to return to the abortion facility to receive it (84%). Both practices were more common among providers that did 50 or more medical abortions than among less-experienced providers. <br> Most providers (74%) reported that counseling for medical abortion takes more time than does counseling for surgical abortion. A large minority (43%) said that fewer than 10% of early medical abortion clients called with questions or problems, but one-third reported that 20% or more did so. Calls from one-fifth or more of clients were less common among the more experienced providers. ** p.21 * Many women seeking abortion face harassment by anti-abortion protesters; this also affects a facility’s ability to offer services. Each year, 56% of all nonhospital providers experience at least one of five types of harassment—picketing; picketing coupled with physical contact with or blocking of clients; vandalism (such as jamming of locks or other physical damage); picketing of the homes of staff; and bomb threats. Harassment is much more common in facilities with large abortion caseloads than in smaller facilities: The proportion experiencing one or more incidents ranges from 10% among facilities performing fewer than 30 abortions to 70% among those providing 400–990 abortions and to 100% of clinics providing 5,000 or more. ** p.22 * Picketing is by far the most common type of antiabortion activity, reported by 80% of large providers. Some 14–28% of large providers experience more extreme forms of harassment. A majority (61%) of facilities experience picketing at least 20 times a year. Other types of harassment usually occur fewer than five times per year at any one facility. <br> Since 1996, all of these forms of harassment except picketing have become less common. The proportions of large providers reporting picketing with physical contact, vandalism and picketing of staff members’ homes have fallen by about half since 1992, when these activities were at their height. The proportion of large providers reporting bomb threats has fallen steadily, from 48% in 1985 to 15% in 2000. ** p.22 * For many women, barriers to abortion services are significantly more common than are obstacles to other common types of reproductive health care. For example, only 13% of U.S. counties have an abortion provider, while obstetric-gynecologic care is available in half of all counties. In 1997, 85% of counties had at least one publicly funded family planning clinic. Depending on the circumstances of any given woman needing abortion services, she may have to cope with gestational limits, a long distance from a provider (the effects of which may be exacerbated if she needs to make two trips or is undecided about whether to have an abortion), travel and other expenses that may not be covered by insurance, a lack of choice of method of early medical abortion and antiabortion protesters. These are the potential barriers for which we have information; other factors, including restrictive legislation and attitudes, may also pose important problems for some women. <br> Gestational limits reduce the number of abortion providers available to specific women. Women frequently encounter such barriers when they seek an abortion during the second trimester. Many providers offer services only up to 12 or 14 weeks, because later abortions require more cervical dilation and greater skill on the clinician’s part, the risk of complications is greater than with earlier abortions and the demand is less. When a fetal anomaly is discovered late in the second trimester, the woman may find that facilities where the pregnancy can be terminated are difficult to locate and are far from her home. Nonetheless, the number of facilities where second-trimester abortions are performed has increased in recent years. <br> A woman who discovers an unintended pregnancy at less than six weeks LMP may find that an abortion provider she contacts will not provide services then, but will ask her to wait until six weeks or later. Studies in the 1970s found a higher rate of continuing pregnancies after very early procedures. Recent research has shown, however, that with high-resolution ultrasound and careful examination of the products of conception, early surgical abortions can be performed without an elevated risk of ectopic pregnancy or incomplete abortion, and that an increasing number of providers perform such early abortions. In addition, providers of surgical abortion increasingly are offering early medical abortion. ** p.22 * Providers estimate that 8% of women who have abortions travel more than 100 miles to do so, a proportion that has not changed in recent years. Women who are able to over-come the barrier of distance may nevertheless suffer con- sequences. In a survey conducted in 1987–1988, half of a national sample of women who were having an abortion at 16 weeks LMP or later cited difficulty in making arrangements as a cause of delay. ** p.23 * Another factor affecting access is the fee that clients pay, which averages $372 at 10 weeks. This is a minimum figure, because many clients have additional expenses, such as for other services (intravenous sedation or general anesthesia), transportation, time lost from work and increased costs if the pregnancy is at a later gestation. Nonhospital providers directly bill Medicaid or other insurance for only 26% of their abortion clients, and for only 8% in states where Medicaid does not cover abortion. Whether because of Medicaid funding restrictions, a lack of insurance coverage, women’s hesitancy to use insurance coverage for abortion or providers’ inability to bill directly, most women pay directly for their abortion care. <br> While the cost of an abortion may seem moderate to some, many low-income women are likely to find it substantial. Between 18% and 35% of Medicaid-eligible women who would have abortions instead continue their pregnancies if public funding is unavailable.26 The lack of Medicaid coverage may be the public policy that has the greatest impact on the number of women who want an abortion but are not able to obtain one. In addition, a woman’s need to secure funds often causes abortions to be delayed; one study found that 22% of Medicaid-eligible women who had a second-trimester abortion would have terminated their pregnancy in the first trimester if Medicaid had covered abortion services. ** p.23 * A majority of providers charge more for medical abortion than for surgical abortion at six weeks. This may reflect the cost of the drug, the greater amount of counseling time required for medical abortion than for surgical abortion, the number of calls from clients with problems or questions, and the greater perceived need for active follow-up of medical abortion clients, to ensure that the abortion was completed without complications. As providers gain experience with early medical abortion, however, these services may become more routine, and the additional expenses for medical abortion could fall. ** p.23 * Picketing remains prevalent at abortion facilities, especially at those with large caseloads. Other types of harassment have declined over time but have not disappeared. This decrease may reflect the impact that federal legislation to protect access to medical facilities has had in deterring illegal antiabortion activity, as well as the fact that by September 2000, 15 states had laws protecting access to clinics that provide reproductive health services. Nevertheless, a majority of clinics reported being picketed at least 20 times a year, and many women seeking abortion are exposed to the stress of noisy and sometimes threatening protesters. ** p.23 === "When Abortion Became Illegal" (2019) === <small> Jacobson, Donna (2019).

Connecticut History Review. 58 (2): 49–81. </small> * Abortion was rarely prosecuted in the early nineteenth century. As historian Cornelia Dayton discussed in her study, “Taking the Trade: Abortion and Gender Relations in an Eighteenth-Century New England Village,” abortions did not go to trial unless extreme circumstances required judicial intervention. Ammi Rogers’s trial became an exception in the early nineteenth century due to his conviction of inducing an abortion following “quickening.” Connecticut state Statutes did not contain a penal code that referenced abortion after quickening; rather it had Acts related to bastardry and infanticide. Therefore Rogers was convicted in part for an undefined crime. Retroactively, the Connecticut General Assembly remedied this lack of legislation during their May 1821 session. <br> Since its enactment, the interpretation of the 1821 law has been extensively examined. Yet the rogers trial and indictment has only been implicated in the law through various editions of his autobiography instead of the court and legislative arhical records. Historian James Mohr in his study, “Abortion in America: The Origins and Evolution of National Policy 1800-1900”, contended the Connecticut law paralleled an 1803 English statute, Lord Elenborough’s Act. Mohr’s analysis of the Connecticut anti-abortion law is only partially persuasive. In fact Lord Ellenborough’s Act criminalized abortion during all periods of the pregnancy while the Connecticut law only criminalized abortions after the quickening. Most importantly, Mohr did not account for the impact of the Rogers trial on the Connnecticut General Assembly in drafting the 1821 abortion legislation. ** pp.51-52 * Marvin Olasky’s work “Abortion Rites: A Social History of Abortion Rites in America” specifically referenced the Rogers trial in his analysis of the 1821 Connecticut anti-abortion law. Olasky disagreed with Mohr’s interpretation of a connection between Connecticut’s law and Lord Ellenborough’s Act. He argued Mohr “missed a crucial contributing cause of the Connecticut law, one that hit much closer to home for the state Legislature than any a parliament three thousand miles away had done eighteen years prior.” Even though Olasky’s thesis regarding the connection of the trial and legislation is correct, he overlooked key elements in the voluminous primary documents related to the Rogers conviction necessary for a thorough analysis of the relationship between trial and legislation. The Connecticut law was merely a small topic in Olasky’s overall study. ** p.52 * Swift has written one of the earliest and most prominent discourses on American law. Published in 1795, ''A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut'', is considered the first legal text that differentiated English and American Common law. Swift emphasized the importance of law not based on inference. Rather, he believed all laws “are always to be construed strictly, for the benefit of the subject.. Nothing more is to be deduced from the words, than what they expressly warrant, and they are not to be extended by implication.” Swift carefully constructed, “Administering Poison with Intent to Murder, or Cause Miscarriage” in the Crimes and Punishment Act to be strictly interpreted as written; to criminalize inducing an abortion following the quickening and not as a separate poison control measure for apothecaries. <br> Swift’s judicial record on induced miscarriages is unclear prior to the 1821 legislation. Therefore, one must consider Swift’s treatise, “A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut” as a direct extension of his ideology. In the treatise, Swift discussed the murder of a fetus cannot be treated as a murder, for the person ‘’must be actually in existence’’ [emphasis added]. This statement was consistent with the then accepted doctrine that a fetus was not viable until birth. We wrote, “to kill a child in its mother’s womb, is not murder, but a great misdemeanor’’ [emphasis added], but if the child be born alive, and then die by reason of injury it suffered in the womb, it will be murder in hum who caused it.” Therefore, induced abortion wasn’t classified as murder. An individual became culpable o murder if the fetus didn’t abort, was alive after birth, but consequentially died from injuries suffered during the attempted abortion. ** p.72-73 * Swift’s interpretation of abortion in “A System of Laws” reflected William Blackstone’s earlier treatise, “Commentaries on the Laws of England.” Blackstone explicitly cited that life began “as soon as tan infant is able to stir in the mother’s womb” and added if a woman “quick with child,” is poisoned, this “’’did not constitute murder but a heinous misdemeanor” [emphasis added]. The difference between Swift and Blackstone is the reference to poison by Blackstone. He wrote his judicial interpretation approximately thirty-fuve “years” prior to the 1803 Lord Ellenborough’s Act. Therefore, Swift, a renowned legal expect, had ample opportunities prior to 1821 to suggest the incorporation of either Lord Ellenborough’s Act of Blackstone’s “Commentaries’ to the Connecticut Legislature.” **p.73 === “Mississippi Voters Reject Personhood Amendment By Wide Margin” (November 8, 2011) === <small> Frank James, [https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2011/11/08/142159280/mississippi-voters-reject-personhood-amendment “Mississippi Voters Reject Personhood Amendment By Wide Margin”], NPR, November 8, 2011. </small> * In the end it wasn't even close. The Mississippi "personhood" amendment on Tuesday's ballot which would have legally defined human life as beginning at the moment of fertilization failed and by a very wide margin. <br> Mississippi voters soundly rejected the constitutional amendment, with 58 percent voting "no" and only 41 percent voting "yes." * Considered one of the nation's most conservative states Mississippi, many observers thought, would give the personhood amendment perhaps its best chance for passage anywhere in the U.S. <br> Initially, it looked like the gamble might pay off, with support for the initiative running so strong that passage at one point was virtually taken as a given. <br> But opponents of the proposed personhood amendment waged an aggressive counter campaign that raised all kinds of troubling prospects should the amendment become law. <br> For instance, they warned that the amendment raised the possibility that miscarriages would need to be investigated. Besides abortion, some birth control methods would become illegal, they said. <br> What's more, the personhood amendment threatened to criminalize doctors who provide in vitro fertilization services because many embryos are never successfully implanted but instead eventually destroyed. * As NPR's Julie Rovner reported for a Wednesday Morning Edition piece, supporters of so-called personhood amendments have now lost in Colorado as well as Mississippi. <br> JULIE: Voters in Colorado had twice rejected similar amendments to declare that life begins legally at fertilization, in 2008 and 2010... <br>... Felicia Brown Williams is outreach director for Mississippians for Healthy Families, the group that successfully fought the amendment. She said from her group's victory party last night that there was no single reason voters turned against the measure. <br> BROWN WILLIAMS: It was just a matter of making sure that the voters were informed; and when they were they came to our side. === "Lubbock votes to become largest city in U.S. to ban abortion" (May 1, 2021) === <small> Samantha Jarpe, [https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/local-news/lubbock-votes-to-become-largest-city-in-u-s-to-ban-abortion/ "Lubbock votes to become largest city in U.S. to ban abortion"]. “Everything Lubbock”, (Posted May 1, 2021/ Updated May 2, 2021). </small> * Including Lubbock, 24 cities in Texas and two cities in Nebraska passed similar ordinances, according to pro-life activist and Right to Life East Texas Director Mark Lee Dickson. Before Lubbock, the largest city to pass a similar ordinance was Big Spring with an estimated population of 28,187 people. <br> However, Lubbock is the only town with an active abortion clinic to pass the ordinance. Planned Parenthood opened a clinic in the city in October 2020 and began offering abortions April 15. * The ordinance declares abortion in city limits “at all times and at all stages of pregnancy” an act of murder. <br> However, under the ordinance, an act doesn’t qualify as an abortion if it is done to save the life of the mother, remove a fetus whose death was the result of a miscarriage or remove an ectopic pregnancy. * After early voting results came in, the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas issued a statement and said it would continue to “fight to protect” the rights of Lubbock residents. <br> “The ACLU has a long history of challenging unconstitutional abortion bans and will continue to fight to protect the fundamental rights of the people of Lubbock,” Drucilla Tigner, Policy & Advocacy Strategist at the ACLU of Texas, said. <br> In the statement, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas said the Lubbock clinic would remain open and would follow legal restrictions as required. * The push to make Lubbock a “Sanctuary City for the Unborn” began after Planned Parenthood announced in August it would open a clinic in the city sometime in late 2020. The nonprofit previously had a Lubbock clinic until it closed in 2013. <br> A month later, State Senator Charles Perry held a news conference at a Lubbock church and said he was working to get an ordinance passed that would make conducting abortions in the city punishable by a fine of $2,000. <br> Perry said the ordinance, which was drafted by Dickson, would also create standing for family members of an aborted fetus to sue abortion providers for civil damages. * On October 14, the city released a statement and said the proposed ordinance was contrary to Texas law. On the same day, the city also announced that a petition to consider the ordinance had been submitted to the council. <br> The petition had enough verified signatures to force a vote by city council on whether to adopt or reject the ordinance. A meeting was held November 17 and the council voted 7-0 to reject the proposed ordinance. <br> After the vote, the committee behind the petition filed a request to put the ordinance to a vote and in December 2020, the city council approved a May 1, 2021 election date. According to estimates, the special election cost the city between $160,000 and $200,000 to hold. * In early 2020, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against seven Texas towns that passed similar ordinances outlawing abortion. The focus of the lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of two pro-choice groups in the state – was solely on the ordinances’ designation of organizations assisting women in getting abortions as “criminal organizations.” <br> The ACLU later dropped the lawsuit after several cities amended their original ordinances to remove language declaring specific organizations as “criminal,” while still preserving a ban on abortion. === "Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2016" (November 29, 2019) === <small> Jatlaoui, TC; Eckhaus, L; Mandel, MG; Nguyen, A; Oduyebo, T; Petersen, Emily; Whiteman, MK (November 29, 2019).

ISSN 1546-0738. PMID 31774741. </small> * Results: A total of 623,471 abortions for 2016 were reported to CDC from 48 reporting areas. Among these 48 reporting areas, the abortion rate for 2016 was 11.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 186 abortions per 1,000 live births. From 2015 to 2016, the total number of reported abortions decreased 2% (from 636,902), the abortion rate decreased 2% (from 11.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 1% (from 188 abortions per 1,000 live births). From 2007 to 2016, the total number of reported abortions decreased 24% (from 825,240), the abortion rate decreased 26% (from 15.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 18% (from 226 abortions per 1,000 live births). In 2016, all three measures reached their lowest level for the entire period of analysis (2007–2016). * In 2016 and throughout the period of analysis, women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions and had the highest abortion rates. In 2016, women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years accounted for 30.0% and 28.5% of all reported abortions, respectively, and had abortion rates of 19.1 and 17.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively. By contrast, women aged 30–34, 35–39, and ≥40 years accounted for 18.0%, 10.3%, and 3.5% of all reported abortions, respectively, and had abortion rates of 11.6, 6.9, and 2.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 30–34, 35–39, and ≥40 years, respectively. From 2007 to 2016, the abortion rate decreased among women in all age groups. <br> In 2016, adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years accounted for 0.3% and 9.4% of all reported abortions, respectively, and had abortion rates of 0.4 and 6.2 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years, respectively. From 2007 to 2016, the percentage of abortions accounted for by adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased 43%, and the abortion rate decreased 56%. This decrease in abortion rate was greater than the decreases for women in any older age group. <br> (In contrast to the percentage distribution of abortions and abortion rates by age, abortion ratios in 2016 and throughout the entire period of analysis were highest among adolescents and lowest among women aged 25–39 years. Abortion ratios decreased from 2007 to 2016 for women in all age groups. <br> In 2016, almost two-thirds (65.5%) of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, and nearly all (91.0%) were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. Fewer abortions were performed between 14 and 20 weeks’ gestation (7.7%) or at ≥21 weeks’ gestation (1.2%). During 2007–2016, the percentage of abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation remained consistently low (8.2%–9.0%). Among abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, the percentage distributions of abortions by gestational age were highest among those performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation (35.0%–38.4%). * In 2016, 27.9% of all abortions were performed by early medical abortion (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation), 59.9% were performed by surgical abortion at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, 8.8% were performed by surgical abortion at >13 weeks’ gestation, and 3.4% were performed by medical abortion at >8 weeks’ gestation; all other methods were uncommon (0.1%). Among those that were eligible for early medical abortion on the basis of gestational age (i.e., performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation), 41.9% were completed by this method. * In 2016, women with one or more previous live births accounted for 59.0% of abortions, and women with no previous live births accounted for 41.0%. Women with one or more previous induced abortions accounted for 40.7% of abortions, and women with no previous abortions accounted for 59.4%. * In 2015, the most recent year for which data were reviewed for abortion-related deaths, two women were identified to have died as a result of complications from legal induced abortion and for one additional death, it was unknown whether the abortion was induced or spontaneous. * Since 1969, CDC has conducted abortion surveillance to document the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions in the United States. After nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973, the total number, rate (number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and ratio (number of abortions per 1,000 live births) of reported abortions increased rapidly, reaching the highest levels in the 1980s before decreasing at a slow yet steady pace. During 2006–2008, a break occurred in the previously sustained pattern of decrease, although this break has been followed in subsequent years by even greater decreases. Nonetheless, throughout the years, the incidence of abortion has varied considerably across subpopulations and remains higher in certain demographic groups than others. Continued surveillance is needed to monitor changes in the incidence of abortion in the United States. * Among the 48 reporting areas that provided data for 2016, a total of 623,471 abortions were reported. All 48 of these areas provided data every year during 2007–2016.§§ In 2016, these areas had an abortion rate of 11.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and an abortion ratio of 186 abortions per 1,000 live births. From 2015 to 2016, the total number of reported abortions decreased 2% (from 636,902 to 623,471), the abortion rate decreased 2% (from 11.8 to 11.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 1% (from 188 to 186 abortions per 1,000 live births). From 2007 to 2016, the total number of reported abortions decreased 24% (from 825,240), the abortion rate decreased 26% (from 15.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 18% (from 226 abortions per 1,000 live births). Among these same 48 areas, the annual rate of decrease fitted from the regression analysis was greater during 2007–2011 than during 2012–2016 for abortion number and rate, whereas the annual rate of decrease was greater during 2012–2016 than during 2007–2011 for abortion ratio. During 2007–2011, the number of reported abortions decreased by 25,563 abortions per year, the abortion rate decreased by 0.50 abortions per 1,000 women per year, and the abortion ratio decreased by 2.2 abortions per 1,000 live births per year. During 2012–2016, the number of reported abortions decreased by 17,120 abortions per year, the abortion rate decreased by 0.36 abortions per 1,000 women per year, and the abortion ratio decreased by 5.4 abortions per 1,000 live births per year. * Abortion numbers, rates, and ratios for 2016 have been calculated by reporting area of occurrence and the residence of the women who obtained the abortions. By reporting area of occurrence, a considerable range existed in the abortion rate (from 3.0 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in South Dakota to 21.8 abortions per 1,000 women in New York [city and state combined]) and the abortion ratio (from 38 abortions per 1,000 live births in South Dakota to 373 abortions per 1,000 live births in New York [city and state combined]). Similarly, a considerable range existed in the abortion rate by residence (from 4.2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in South Dakota to 20.7 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in New York [city and state combined]) and the abortion ratio (from 54 abortions per 1,000 live births in South Dakota to 354 abortions per 1,000 live births in New York [city and state combined]). Because of variation that occurred among reporting areas in the percentage of abortions obtained by out-of-state residents (from 0.6% in Alaska and Arizona to 49.8% in Kansas), abortion rates and ratios calculated by maternal residence might provide a more accurate reflection of the state-specific distribution of women obtaining abortions. However, because states vary in the level of detail they collect on maternal residence, 12.4% of abortions were reported to CDC with unknown information on maternal residence. * Among the 46 areas that reported by maternal age for 2016, women in their 20s accounted for the majority (58.5%) of abortions and had the highest abortion rates (19.1 and 17.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively). Women in the youngest (<15 years) and oldest (≥40 years) age groups accounted for the smallest percentages of abortions (0.3% and 3.5%, respectively) and had the lowest abortion rates (0.4 and 2.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged <15 and ≥40 years, respectively). Among the 44 reporting areas that provided data by maternal age every year during 2007–2016, this pattern across age groups was stable, with the majority of abortions and the highest abortion rates occurring among women aged 20–29 years and the lowest percentages of abortions and abortion rates occurring among women in the youngest and oldest age groups. From 2007 to 2016, abortion rates decreased among all age groups, although the decreases for adolescents (67% and 56% for adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years, respectively) were greater than the decreases for women in all older age groups. Decreases for women aged ≥20 years ranged from 4% among women aged ≥40 years to 35% among women aged 20–24 years. Decreases in the abortion rate for all age groups, except women aged 25–29 years and 30–34 years, were greater from 2012 to 2016 than from 2007 to 2011, and the rates for all age groups either did not change or decreased from 2015 to 2016. <br> In contrast to the percentage of abortions and abortion rates, abortion ratios in 2016 were lowest among women aged 25–39 years. Among the 44 reporting areas that provided data by maternal age for every year during 2007–2016, abortion ratios decreased among women in all age groups. The abortion ratio decreased for all age groups from 2012 to 2016; however, from 2015 to 2016, abortion ratios only decreased for women aged ≥30 years. * Among the 43 areas that reported maternal age by individual year among adolescents for 2016, adolescents aged 18–19 years accounted for the majority (67.8%) of adolescent abortions and had the highest adolescent abortion rates (9.1 and 12.4 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 18 and 19 years, respectively). Adolescents aged <15 years accounted for the smallest percentage of adolescent abortions (2.6%) and had the lowest adolescent abortion rate (0.4 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 13–14 years). Among the 39 reporting areas that provided maternal age by individual year data for adolescents annually during 2007–2016, the percentage of abortions accounted for by adolescents aged 18 and 19 years increased, whereas the percentage of abortions accounted for by adolescents aged <18 years decreased. For adolescents of all ages, decreases in abortion rates ≥50% occurred from 2007 to 2016, and were generally greater from 2012 to 2016 than from 2007 to 2011. Decreases occurred among all adolescents from 2015 to 2016. <br> In 2016, the abortion ratio for adolescents was highest among adolescents aged <15 years (694 abortions per 1,000 live births) and was lowest among adolescents aged ≥17 years (292, 295, and 249 abortions per 1,000 live births among adolescents aged 17, 18, and 19 years, respectively). During 2007–2016, abortion ratios decreased among adolescents of all ages. * Among the 41 areas that reported gestational age at the time of abortion for 2016, approximately two thirds (65.5%) of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, and nearly all (91.0%) were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. Fewer abortions were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation (7.7%) or at ≥21 weeks’ gestation (1.2%). Among the 33 reporting areas that provided data on gestational age every year during 2007–2016, the percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation decreased minimally from 91.5% to 90.9%. However, within this gestational age range, a shift occurred toward earlier gestational ages, with the percentage of abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation increasing 3% and the percentage of abortions performed at 9–13 weeks’ gestation decreasing 8%. For the entire period of analysis, abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation accounted for ≤9.0% of abortions. <br> Among abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation and reported by individual week of gestation for 2016, 37.8% were performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation. The percentage contribution to abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation was progressively smaller for each additional week of gestation: 19.4% were performed at 7 weeks’ gestation, and 3.0% were performed at 13 weeks’ gestation. Among the 33 areas that reported by exact week of gestation for abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation every year during 2007–2016, the highest percentage contributions were reported for abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation (35.0%–38.4%), and smaller percentages for each additional week of gestation were reported, with approximately 3.0% of abortions performed at 13 weeks’ gestation across the 10-year period. * Among the 43 areas that reported by method type for 2016 and included medical abortion on their reporting form, 59.9% of abortions were surgical abortions at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, 27.9% were early medical abortions (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation), 8.8% were surgical abortions at >13 weeks’ gestation, and 3.4% were medical abortions at >8 weeks’ gestation; other methods (intrauterine instillation and hysterectomy/hysterotomy) were uncommon (<0.1%). Among the 33 reporting areas that included medical abortion on their reporting form and provided these data for the relevant years of comparison (2007 versus 2016, 2007 versus 2011, 2012 versus 2016, and 2015 versus 2016), use of early medical abortion increased 14% from 2015 to 2016 (from 24.5% of abortions to 27.9%); from 2007 to 2016, use of early medical abortion increased 113% (from 13.1% of abortions to 27.9%). Increases in early medical abortion occurred both from 2007 to 2011 (from 13.1% of abortions to 19.7% [50% increase]) and from 2012 to 2016 (from 21.3% of abortions to 27.9% [31% increase]). * Among the 30 reporting areas that provided data by procedure and individual week of gestational age each year from 2011 to 2016, during which time several clinical guidelines and an FDA labeling change extended mifepristone use to 70 days’ gestation, the percentage of abortions at 9 completed weeks’ gestation that were reported as medical abortions increased. Although the percentage of abortions at 9 weeks’ gestation reported as medical abortions did not change substantially between 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 (5.0%, 5.7%, 6.7%, and 7.7%, respectively), this percentage increased to 13.0% in 2015 and 24.0% in 2016. Among the 43 areas that reported by method type for 2016 and included medical abortion on their reporting form, 30.2% were medical abortions performed at ≤9 weeks’ gestation. Among these same reporting areas that reported medical abortions by individual week of gestational age, 92.5% of the medical abortions performed at ≤9 weeks’ gestation were performed at ≤8 weeks, and the remaining 7.5% were performed at 9 weeks. * As a corollary to the increase that occurred in use of early medical abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, use of surgical abortion at ≤13 weeks’ gestation decreased 23% from 2007 to 2016 (from 78.1% of abortions to 59.8%). Surgical abortion at >13 weeks’ gestation consistently accounted for approximately 8.0%–8.8% of all abortions, and all other methods combined consistently accounted for a limited percentage of abortions (1.1%–3.4%) during 2007–2016. * Among the 32 areas that reported cross-classified race/ethnicity data for 2016, non-Hispanic white women and non-Hispanic black women accounted for the largest percentages of all abortions (35.0% and 38.0%, respectively), and Hispanic women and non-Hispanic women in the other race category accounted for smaller percentages (18.8% and 8.2%, respectively). Non-Hispanic white women had the lowest abortion rate (6.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratio (109 abortions per 1,000 live births), and non-Hispanic black women had the highest abortion rate (25.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratio (401 abortions per 1,000 live births). Data for 2016 also are reported separately by race and by ethnicity. * Among the 19 areas that reported these data for the relevant years of comparison (2007 versus 2016, 2007 versus 2011, 2012 versus 2016, and 2015 versus 2016), abortion rates decreased substantially for the three largest race/ethnicity groups: for non-Hispanic white women, the abortion rate decreased 33% (from 9.4 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 6.3 in 2016); for non-Hispanic black women, the rate decreased 29% (from 36.7 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 26.2 in 2016); and for Hispanic women, the rate decreased 44% (from 21.2 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 11.8 in 2016). For women in the three largest race/ethnicity groups, abortion rates decreased both from 2007 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2016, although the decreases were greater during the later period. From 2007 to 2011, the abortion rates decreased 15% for non-Hispanic white women (from 9.4 to 8.0 abortions per 1,000), 11% for non-Hispanic black women (from 36.7 to 32.5 abortions per 1,000), and 18% for Hispanic women (from 21.2 to 17.3 abortions per 1,000); by contrast, from 2012 to 2016, the abortion rates decreased 18% for non-Hispanic white women (from 7.7 to 6.3 abortions per 1,000), 13% for non-Hispanic black women (from 30.2 to 26.2 abortions per 1,000), and 24% for Hispanic women (from 15.6 to 11.8 abortions per 1,000). * Abortion ratios also decreased from 2007 to 2016 for the three largest race/ethnicity groups: for non-Hispanic white women, the abortion ratio decreased 29% (from 146 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 103 in 2016); for non-Hispanic black women, the ratio decreased 20% (from 517 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 416 in 2016); and for Hispanic women, the ratio decreased 26% (from 210 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 155 in 2016). From 2007 to 2011, abortion ratios decreased among non-Hispanic white women (10% from 146 abortion per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 131 in 2011) and non-Hispanic black women (3% from 517 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 504 in 2011), whereas abortion ratios increased among Hispanic women (2% from 210 abortion per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 214 in 2011). By contrast, from 2012 to 2016, abortion ratios decreased among all women in the three largest race/ethnicity groups. The abortion ratio decreased 18% for non-Hispanic white women (from 125 to 103 abortions per 1,000 live births), 11% for non-Hispanic black women (from 470 to 416 abortions per 1,000 live births), and 22% for Hispanic women (from 198 to 155 abortions per 1,000 live births). * Among the 42 areas that reported by marital status for 2016, 14.1% of all women who obtained an abortion were married, and 85.9% were unmarried. The abortion ratio was 41 abortions per 1,000 live births for married women and 380 abortions per 1,000 live births for unmarried women. Among the 29 reporting areas that provided these data for the relevant years of comparison (2007 versus 2016, 2007 versus 2011, 2012 versus 2016, and 2015 versus 2016), the percentage of abortions among unmarried women increased 3% from 2007 to 2016 (from 83.5% to 86.0%), with a larger increase from 2007 to 2011 (3%) than from 2012 to 2016 (<1%). Among unmarried women, the abortion ratio decreased 16% from 2007 to 2016 (from 390 to 326 abortions per 1,000 live births), with a larger decrease also occurring from 2012 to 2016 (10%) than from 2007 to 2011 (3%). Among married women, the abortion ratio decreased 31% from 2007 to 2016 (from 49 to 34 abortions per 1,000 live births), with similar decreases occurring from 2012 to 2016 (13%) and from 2007 to 2011 (14%). * Data from the 42 areas that reported the number of previous live births for women who obtained abortions in 2016 indicate that 41.0%, 45.1%, and 13.9% of these women had zero, one or two, or three or more previous live births, respectively (Table 16. Among the 35 reporting areas that provided these data for the relevant years of comparison (2007 versus 2016, 2007 versus 2011, 2012 versus 2016, and 2015 versus 2016), the percentage of women obtaining abortions with no previous live births or with one to two previous live births each decreased 2% from 2007 to 2016; by contrast, the percentage increased 16% for women with three or more previous live births over the same time period. <br> Data from the 41 areas that reported the number of previous abortions for women who obtained abortions in 2016 indicate that the majority (59.4%) had no previous abortions, 34.4% had one or two previous abortions, and 6.3% had three or more previous abortions. Among the 34 reporting areas that provided data for the relevant years of comparison (2007 versus 2016, 2007 versus 2011, 2012 versus 2016, and 2015 versus 2016), the percentage of women who had no previous abortions increased 3% (from 57.4% to 59.1%), whereas a 4% decrease occurred among women who had one or two previous abortions, and a 4% decrease occurred among women who had three or more previous abortions from 2007 to 2016. However, the percentage of women who had no previous abortions decreased 1% from 2007 to 2011 (from 57.4% to 56.8%) and then increased 3% from 2012 to 2016 (from 57.6% to 59.1%). By contrast, the percentage of women who had three or more previous abortions increased 4% from 2007 to 2011 (from 6.8% to 7.1%) then decreased 6% from 2012 to 2016 (from 6.9% to 6.5%). The percentage of women who had one or two previous abortions increased 1% from 2007 to 2011 (35.8% to 36.1%) and then decreased 3% from 2012 to 2016 (from 35.5% to 34.5%). * In select reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by maternal race and race/ethnicity were further categorized by maternal age and by marital status. A consistent pattern existed for abortions by maternal age across all race/ethnicity groups, with the smallest percentage of abortions occurring among adolescents aged <15 years (0.2%–0.3%) and the largest percentage occurring among women aged 20–24 years (25.6%–31.1%) and 25–29 years (26.6%–30.2%). A consistent pattern also existed for abortions by marital status across all race/ethnicity groups, with a higher percentage of abortions occurring among women who were unmarried (68.1%–92.1%) than among those who were married (7.9%–31.9%) (Table 19). For abortions among married women, the percentage was higher for non-Hispanic women in the other race group (31.9%) than for non-Hispanic white women (16.8%), Hispanic women (15.3%), and non-Hispanic black women (7.9%). For abortions among unmarried women, the percentage was higher for non-Hispanic black women (92.1%) than for non-Hispanic white women (83.2%), Hispanic women (84.7%), and women in the non-Hispanic other race group (68.1%). * In select reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by weeks of gestation were further categorized by maternal age, and race/ethnicity. In every subgroup for these three characteristics, the largest percentage of abortions occurred at ≤8 weeks’ gestation. However, by maternal age, 42.8% of adolescents aged <15 years and 56.8% of adolescents aged 15–19 years obtained an abortion by ≤8 weeks’ gestation, compared with 63.7%–71.0% of women in older age groups. Conversely, 23.7% of adolescents aged <15 years and 12.4% of adolescents aged 15–19 years obtained an abortion after 13 weeks’ gestation, compared with 8.1%–9.1% for women in older age groups. By race/ethnicity, 59.8% of non-Hispanic black women obtained an abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, compared with 67.5%–69.4% of women from other race/ethnicity groups. Differences in abortions after 13 weeks’ gestation across race/ethnicity groups were minimal (10.3% for non-Hispanic black women, compared with 8.2%–9.1% for women in the remaining race/ethnicity groups). * Among abortions categorized by weeks of gestation and method type, surgical abortion accounted for the largest percentage of abortions within every gestational age category. At ≤8 weeks’ gestation, surgical abortion accounted for a smaller percentage of abortions (58.1%) than at any other stage of gestation; at 9–20 weeks’ gestation, surgical abortion accounted for 89.6%–98.8% of all abortions, and at ≥21 weeks’ gestation, it accounted for 92.7% of abortions. By contrast, at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, medical abortion accounted for 41.9% of abortions then decreased to 10.4% at 9–13 weeks and 1.0%–2.6% at 14–20 weeks before increasing to 6.5% at ≥21 weeks. For each gestational age category, abortions performed by intrauterine instillation or hysterectomy/hysterotomy were rare (<0.1%–0.5% of abortions). * Using national PMSS data, CDC identified three abortion-related deaths for 2015, the most recent year for which data were reviewed for abortion-related deaths. Investigation of these cases indicated that two deaths were related to legal abortion, no deaths were related to illegal abortion, and for one death, whether the abortion was induced or spontaneous was unknown. <br> The annual number of deaths related to legal induced abortion has fluctuated from year to year over the past 40 years. Because of this variability and the relatively limited number of legal induced abortion-related deaths every year, national legal abortion case-fatality rates were calculated for consecutive 5-year periods during 1973–2007 and for a consecutive 8-year period. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2008–2015 was 0.58 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal abortions. This case-fatality rate was similar to the rate for most of the preceding 5-year periods but lower than the case-fatality rate of 2.09 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal abortions for the 5-year period (1973–1977) immediately following nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973. * For 2016, a total of 623,471 abortions were reported to CDC by 48 areas. Among these areas, the abortion rate was 11.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and the abortion ratio was 186 abortions per 1,000 live births. All 48 of these reporting areas submitted data every year during the period of analysis from 2007 to 2016, thus providing the information necessary for evaluating trends. Among these areas, the number and rate of reported abortions decreased 2%, and the abortion ratio decreased 1% from 2015 to 2016, which, in combination with decreases that occurred during previous years (11–15), resulted in the lowest values for all three measures for the entire period of analysis. Among areas that reported by age every year of the analysis, women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions and had the highest abortion rates, whereas decreases in the abortion rate were greater for adolescents aged <20 years than for any other age group. In addition, throughout the period of analysis, ≤9% of abortions each year were performed after 13 weeks’ gestation; approximately two thirds of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, and this percentage increased from 63.7% in 2007 to 65.3% in 2016. Among areas that included medical abortion on their reporting form every year, the percentage of all abortions performed by early medical abortion (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation) increased from 13.1% in 2007 to 27.9% in 2016. * These findings underscore important maternal age differences in abortion trends. Because of the high rate and proportion of abortions that occurred among women in their 20s, women in this age group have contributed substantially to overall changes. Conversely, during 2007–2016, women aged ≥40 years had consistently low abortion rates and accounted for a limited percentage of abortions (≤3.7%); therefore, they have had a much smaller contribution to overall abortion trends. Nonetheless, among women aged ≥40 years, the abortion ratio continues to be higher than among women aged 25–39 years, indicating that unintended pregnancy is a problem that women encounter throughout their reproductive years. <br> The adolescent abortion trends described in this report are important for monitoring progress that has been made toward reducing adolescent pregnancies in the United States. National birth data indicate the birth rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years in 2016 decreased 51% since 2007, compared with a 43% decrease in the abortion rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years during the same period. These findings indicate that decreases in adolescent pregnancies in the United States have been accompanied by large decreases both in adolescent births and abortions and that the pattern of decline is continuing. * The findings in this report indicate that although the number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions have decreased across all race/ethnicity groups, well-documented disparities exist. In this report, abortion rates and ratios remained 1.8 and 1.4 times higher, respectively, for Hispanic women than for non-Hispanic white women, and 3.8 and 3.7 times higher, respectively, for non-Hispanic black women than for non-Hispanic white women. The comparatively high abortion rates and ratios among non-Hispanic black women have been attributed to higher unintended pregnancy rates and a greater percentage of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion. * The findings in this report indicate the majority of women obtaining abortions do so early in gestation (≤8 weeks), when the risks for complications are lowest. Among the areas that reported gestational age data every year during 2007–2016, the percentage of abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation increased 3%. Moreover, among the areas that reported abortions at ≤13 weeks’ gestation by individual week, the distribution continued to shift toward earlier weeks of gestation, with the percentage of early abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increasing 8% from 2007 to 2016. Nonetheless, the overall percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation did not change appreciably from 2007–2016. Reports indicate that abortions at later gestational ages are more common among certain groups of women; among women in this report, the percentage of adolescents aged ≤19 years who obtained abortions at ≤8 weeks’ gestation was smaller than the percentage of women in other age groups who obtained abortions at the same gestational age. Because procedures performed at earlier gestational ages have a lower risk for complications, a better understanding of factors that influence the gestational age at which abortions are performed is needed. * The trend of obtaining abortions earlier in pregnancy has been facilitated by changes in abortion practices. Research conducted in the United States during the 1970s indicated that surgical abortion procedures performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation, compared with 7–12 weeks’ gestation, were less likely to result in successful termination of the pregnancy. However, subsequent advances in technology (e.g., improved transvaginal ultrasonography and sensitive pregnancy tests) have allowed very early surgical abortions to be performed with completion rates exceeding 97%. Likewise, the development of early medical abortion regimens has allowed for abortions to be performed very early in gestation, with completion rates for regimens that combine mifepristone and misoprostol reaching 96%–98% . In 2016, 65.5% of all reported abortions were performed at ≤8 completed weeks’ gestation; thus, the women receiving these abortions were eligible for early medical abortion (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation) on the basis of gestational age. Among those abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation in 2016, 41.9% were reported as medical abortions. From 2007 to 2016, the proportion of all abortions reported as early medical abortion increased from 13.1% to 27.9%, respectively. Moreover, in addition to abortions meeting the definition of early medical abortion, the percentage of abortions at 9 completed weeks’ gestation that were reported as medical abortions has increased in recent years (from 5.0%–13.0% during 2011–2015 to 24.0% in 2016). On the basis of evidence that early medical abortion is safe and effective beyond 63 days’ gestation, professional clinical practice guidelines were updated midyear in 2013 and 2014 to extend the gestational age eligibility for early medical abortion from 63 to 70 days (≤9 completed weeks). In early 2016, FDA updated its approval for use of mifepristone for early medical abortions, extending the gestational age limit to 70 days. * Because the annual number of deaths related to legal induced abortion is small and statistically unstable, case-fatality rates were calculated for consecutive 5-year periods during 1973–2007 and for a consecutive 8-year period during 2008–2015. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2008–2015 was fewer than 1 per 100,000 abortions, as it was for all of the preceding 5-year periods since the late 1970s. * Approximately 18% of all pregnancies in the United States end in induced abortion. Multiple factors influence the incidence of abortion, including access to health care services and contraception; the availability of abortion providers; state regulations, such as mandatory waiting periods, parental involvement laws, and legal restrictions on abortion providers; increasing acceptance of nonmarital childbearing; shifts in the race/ethnicity composition of the U.S. population; and changes in the economy and the resulting impact on fertility preferences and use of contraception. However, despite the multiple influences on abortion, because unintended pregnancy precedes nearly all cases of abortions, efforts to help women avoid pregnancies that they do not desire may reduce the number of abortions. === "Abortion rate at lowest level since 1973" (February 2, 2014) === <small> Jayson, Sharon (February 2, 2014). [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/02/02/abortion-recession-medication/5087945/ "Abortion rate at lowest level since 1973"]. USA Today. Retrieved February 3, 2014. </small> * "A 13% percent drop over a three-year time period is a pretty steep decline. It's unusual," says Rachel Jones, the lead author of the study by Guttmacher, a research organization that supports the right to legal abortion and seeks to expand access to information on sexual and reproductive health. <br> Jones attributes the decline to more women using "highly effective contraceptive methods such as the IUD" and the fact that the study period was during the recession and sluggish recovery. <br> "Births have been falling for awhile, and the recession certainly accelerated the decrease in births," says economist Ted Joyce of Baruch College in New York, who has studied reproductive health since 1985. <br> "When you consider the changes in contraception and the largest recession since the Great Depression, those two factors seem like compelling explanations for the decline," he says. * Guttmacher's analysis this year is the first to study state restrictions, many of which increased beginning in 2011. The report says states enacted 205 abortion restrictions between 2011 and 2013, more than in the entire previous decade combined. However, the 2008-11 study period doesn't include that surge because many restrictions didn't take effect until late 2011 or later. During the study period, 106 new abortion restrictions were implemented. <br> "We didn't find any clear associations between abortion restrictions and declines in abortion rates," Jones says. "We saw drops in abortions in the states that had restrictions, but they were not substantially bigger than what we saw in other states." <br> "No evidence was found that the overall drop in abortion incidence was related to the decrease in providers or to restrictions implemented between 2008 and 2011," the report says. * Randall O'Bannon, of the National Right to Life Committee in Washington, D.C., which opposes abortion, views the new report as "significant progress." <br> "We're seeing some tangible results," he says. "Obviously, we have had some impact." * Whether the next report in three years will reflect continued declines depends on how the courts rule on state laws that would effectively restrict access to abortion providers, economist Joyce says. <br> "The courts haven't ruled whether these are constitutional," he says. "It really depends on whether those more serious restrictions go into effect. If they do, you're likely to see an increased decline in abortion rates." * An estimated 239,400 early medication abortions were performed in 2011, representing 23% of all non-hospital abortions, an increase from 17% in 2008, the report says. === "Characteristics of U.S. Abortion Patients in 2014 and Changes Since 2008" (10 May 2016) === <small> Jerman, Jenna; Jones, Rachel K.; Onda, Tsuyoshi (10 May 2016). [https://www.guttmacher.org/report/characteristics-us-abortion-patients-2014# "Characteristics of U.S. Abortion Patients in 2014 and Changes Since 2008"] – via www.guttmacher.org. </small> * Abortion is common in the United States and is a critical component of comprehensive reproductive health care. However, information about individuals who have abortions is limited. For example, population-based surveys, which are used to obtain information about many aspects of reproductive and sexual health, do not adequately measure the prevalence of abortion, and only about half of abortions provided in the United States are captured by these types of surveys. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes annual abortion statistics, including selected demographic characteristics of abortion patients, this information is limited and incomplete, as it is collected from individual state health departments with variable abortion-reporting requirements. For example, the CDC does not report abortion data from California, New Hampshire or Rhode Island, and the accuracy of abortion information can vary substantially by state over time. To address these limitations, the Guttmacher Institute periodically collects information from U.S. abortion patients, and the results of the most recent survey are summarized in this report. * The abortion rate declined 13% between 2008 and 2011, and while there is little evidence to suggest that the state abortion regulations passed during that time period were responsible for the drop in abortions, restrictions passed in some states in more recent years have been particularly onerous. These include waiting periods that may require patients to visit the clinic twice, requirements that abortion clinics meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers or acquire hospital admitting privileges for their clinicians, and bans on the use of private insurance and plans purchased through state exchanges to pay for abortion services. * The proportion of abortions accounted for by adolescents declined significantly between 2008 and 2014—by 32%. In particular, the proportion accounted for by 15–17-year-olds declined 44% over this period, and that among 18–19-year-olds dropped by 25%. The 2014 abortion index of 0.4 for the former group indicates that they were substantially underrepresented among abortion patients relative to their representation in the larger population of women. * Relationship status can be a proxy for exposure to sexual activity, and can also influence individuals’ and couples’ childbearing goals. The distribution of abortion patients and abortion indices varied by relationship status. About 14% of abortion patients were married, and an additional 31% were cohabiting. A slight majority were not living with a partner in the month they became pregnant (46% had never married and 9% had been previously married). <br> The 2014 abortion index of 0.4 for married patients indicates that they were substantially underrepresented among abortion patients relative to all women of reproductive age. Cohabiting women were overrepresented by a factor of 2.1, meaning they had an abortion rate twice the national average. The abortion index for never-married, noncohabiting patients was slightly higher than average. The abortion indices for most relationship statuses remained unchanged from 2008, with the exception of that for cohabiting women, which declined from 2.6 to 2.1. * Disparities in reproductive health outcomes by race and ethnicity are well documented,18–20 and may be an important indicator of systemic barriers to preventive services. No racial or ethnic group made up the majority of abortion patients in 2014. Overall, 39% were white, 28% black, 25% Hispanic, 6% Asian or Pacific Islander, and 3% of other background. The racial and ethnic composition of patients was quite similar in 2008. * Educational goals are often cited as a reason to delay childbearing, as many individuals wish to complete their schooling and better position themselves economically before having children.21 In 2014, some 9% of abortion patients aged 20 or older had less than a high school degree, and the overwhelming majority—91%—had graduated from high school; more than one in five had a college degree. The proportion of patients aged 20 or older who had not graduated from high school declined significantly over the six-year period (from 12% to 9%). * How individuals achieve their desired family size—including the timing and spacing of any births—is often part of a complicated calculus, and decisions regarding pregnancy outcomes are made in the context of existing and planned children. In 2014, it continued to be the case that the majority of abortion patients (59%) had had at least one previous birth, including one-third who had had two or more; 41% of abortion patients had had no prior births. These proportions were largely unchanged from 2008. * Over the last few decades, abortion and unintended pregnancy have become increasingly concentrated among poor patients. This trend continued through 2014, when there was a significant increase in the proportion of abortion patients accounted for by this group: Forty-nine percent of patients had family incomes of less than 100% of the federal poverty level, while 42% were in this group in 2008. An additional 26% of patients in 2014 had incomes that were 100–199% of the poverty threshold. (We refer to patients in the lowest and middle categories as poor and low income, respectively.) The increase in poor abortion patients was countered by a decrease in the proportion of patients in the highest income group (200% or more of the federal poverty level), from 31% to 25% over the six-year period. * The majority of abortion patients indicated a religious affiliation: Seventeen percent identified as mainline Protestant, 13% as evangelical Protestant and 24% as Roman Catholic, while 8% identified with some other religion. Thirty-eight percent of patients did not identify with any religion. The proportion of women who identified as mainline Protestant declined by 24% since 2008, whereas the proportion with no affiliation increased by 38%. The proportion identifying as Catholic decreased by 15% from the earlier survey, though this change was only marginally significant. <br> The abortion index for Catholic women showed that their relative abortion rate was nearly the same as that for all women (1.1). Mainline Protestants were slightly underrepresented among abortion patients (0.8), while evangelical Protestants had an abortion rate that was half of the national average. Patients with no affiliation were overrepresented among abortion patients, having a relative abortion rate of 1.8. The abortion index had declined slightly for mainline Protestants, and had increased slightly for those with no affiliation. * Unintended pregnancy is not limited to heterosexual women. Sexual minority women may have an elevated risk for unintended pregnancy because of differences in sexual health knowledge or behaviors, or because of a higher prevalence of risk factors such as previous exposure to abuse. The vast majority of abortion patients identified as heterosexual or straight (94%). Four percent of patients said they were bisexual, while only 1% identified as “something else” and 0.3% as homosexual, gay or lesbian. Respondents who indicated “something else” could write in a more specific response; 12 of the 81 who answered affirmatively indicated “pansexual,” which was the only response provided by more than one respondent. * While fewer abortion patients were uninsured in 2014 than in 2008, there were no significant changes in how patients paid for their abortions. Regardless of insurance coverage, 53% of patients reported that they paid for the abortion themselves. Medicaid was the second-most-common method of payment, reported by 24% of patients; the overwhelming majority of these patients (96%) lived in the 15 states that allow state funds to be used to pay for abortions (not shown). Fifteen percent of patients reported that they used their private insurance to pay for the procedure, and 14% relied on some type of financial assistance. Notably, most patients with private health insurance (61%) paid out of pocket for their abortion (not shown). Eight percent relied on more than one payment method, most commonly paying themselves and getting financial assistance. While there were shifts in type of payment between 2008 and 2014—in particular, a decrease in the proportion who were self-paying and an increase in reliance on Medicaid—the changes were not statistically significant. * In many ways, abortion patients in 2014 were quite similar to those in 2008. As in the earlier survey, the majority of patients were in their 20s, unmarried and nonwhite, and had graduated high school, had at least one previous birth and had a religious affiliation. However, smaller proportions of patients in 2014 were adolescents and were uninsured, and a larger proportion were poor. <br> The percentage of abortion patients accounted for by adolescents has been declining for decades, but the 32% drop between 2008 and 2014 was particularly notable. A comparable drop was seen in the teenage birthrate, which declined 40% during this period, meaning that fewer teenagers were getting pregnant in 2014 than in 2008. There were no significant changes in sexual activity or contraceptive use patterns among adolescents during this time period, and economists speculate that increased educational opportunities, the media and the economy may have influenced these trends. Understanding the reasons behind these declines could have important policy implications, and more research is needed to better understand the range of factors influencing these patterns. * Poor women continue to account for a disproportionate share of abortion patients, and this representation increased from 42% to 49% over the six-year period, mostly driven by an increase in the population of women of reproductive age who are poor. The abortion index for poor women changed little, and disparities in abortion rates by income did not increase between 2008 and 2014. Still, it is now the case that 75% of abortion patients are low income, having family incomes of less than 200% of the federal poverty level. === "U.S. Abortion Attitudes Remain Closely Divided" (June 11, 2018) === <small> Jeffrey Jones (June 11, 2018).

Gallup. </small> * Although there has been some variation in past years, Americans have typically been closely split on whether they consider themselves pro-choice or pro-life, particularly since 2000, when the averages have been 47% pro-choice and 46% pro-life. During the 1990s -- when Gallup first asked the question -- more Americans personally identified as pro-choice than as pro-life by 51% to 40%, on average. * When asked more specifically about their views on the legality of abortion, half of Americans adopt a middle-of-the-road position, saying abortion should be legal "only under certain circumstances." Americans with more absolute positions tend to come down on the side of abortion being legal under any circumstances (29%) than being illegal in all circumstances (18%). <br> Historically, Americans have been most likely to favor the middle position -- abortion being legal under certain circumstances. Rarely has the percentage saying abortion should sometimes be legal fallen below 50%, averaging 53% since it was first asked in 1975. <br> There has been a slight uptick in the percentage saying abortion should always be legal, from 21% in 1975 -- two years after the Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion nationwide -- to 29% today. This percentage has varied in the interim, peaking at 33% in 1991, 1994 and 1995, but reverting to 21% as recently as 2009, and averaging 27%. <br> In the 1975 poll, 22% of Americans said abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. The 18% who currently hold this view matches the average over the past 43 years. * Although close to eight in 10 Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or some circumstances, further probing of their attitudes finds the public favoring more restrictive rather than less restrictive laws. In a follow-up question asked of those in the middle "legal under certain circumstances" group, most of these respondents say it should be legal "only in a few" rather than in "most" circumstances. <br> The result is that 43% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all (29%) or most (14%) circumstances, while a majority of 53% say it should be legal in only a few (35%) or no circumstances (18%). No fewer than 51% of Americans have favored more restrictive abortion laws since 1994, when Gallup first asked the follow-up probe of those saying abortion should be legal under certain circumstances. * Since Gallup first measured attitudes about the morality of abortion in 2001, an average of 41% have regarded it as acceptable and 49% as wrong. Though attitudes have fluctuated, at no point have more Americans said abortion is morally acceptable than have said it is morally wrong. * Abortion has long been a divisive issue in U.S. politics, and Americans are no closer to reaching a consensus on it than they were in the initial years after the practice became legal in the U.S. more than 40 years ago. * While relatively few Americans appear to favor making abortion illegal, a slim majority appear sympathetic to taking steps to limit the circumstances under which abortions are permitted. === "Patterns in socioeconomic characteristics of women obtaining abortions in 2000–2001" (2002) === <small> Jones RK, Darroch JE and Henshaw SK, [https://www.guttmacher.org/journals/psrh/2002/09/patterns-socioeconomic-characteristics-women-obtaining-abortions-2000-2001 "Patterns in socioeconomic characteristics of women obtaining abortions in 2000–2001"], “Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health”], 2002, 34(5):226–235 </small> * Abortion is a common experience among U.S. women. Nevertheless, because abortion is a sensitive topic for many people, it is commonly underreported in national surveys, and representative information about women who have abortions is limited. Most states and the District of Columbia collect data on the characteristics of women who have abortions as part of their vital statistics systems; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tabulates and publishes these data in summary form. However, this information is limited to a few basic demographic characteristics. <br> Accurate national information describing women who have abortions may dispel, or confirm, stereotypes that arise when people are reluctant to talk openly about their abortion experiences. In addition, given that abortion rates decreased throughout the 1990s, identifying the groups of women in which the decrease was below average or in which no decrease occurred can help policymakers and family planning providers determine which groups of women at which point in their lives need greater assistance preventing unintended pregnancies. * Between 1994 and 2000, the abortion rate fell by 11%, from 24 to 21 per 1,000 women aged 15-44; in 2000, 25% of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) ended in abortion. Subgroups of women varied, often dramatically, in their rates of abortion, reflecting differences in rates of pregnancy and in the proportions of pregnancies ending in abortions. <br> Age. Almost one in every five women (19%) who had an abortion in 2000-2001 were adolescents, more than half (56%) were in their 20s and a quarter (25%) were 30 or older. The proportion aged 15-19 had decreased slightly, from 21% in 1994. Most teenagers having abortions in both years were aged 18-19 (12% of all women having abortions), while only 1% were younger than 15.<br> Women aged 20-24 have a higher abortion rate than any other age-group (47 abortions per 1,000), and women aged 40 or older have an exceptionally low rate (four per 1,000). Adolescents also have a higher-than-average abortion rate—25 per 1,000 women aged 15-19. The relatively high adolescent abortion rate is largely attributable to a high level of abortion among women aged 18-19 (39 per 1,000); the rate among 15-17-year-olds is 15 per 1,000. * Two-thirds of women having abortions in 2000 had never been married, one in six were currently married and another one in six were separated, divorced or widowed when they became pregnant. The proportion of women having an abortion who had never been married increased from 64% in 1994 to 67% in 2000. * Despite their high pregnancy rate (99 per 1,000), married women have a low abortion rate because they carry the overwhelming majority of their pregnancies (92%) to term. Previously married and never-married women are much less likely than married women to become pregnant, but more than four out of 10 of their pregnancies end in abortion. * Although 19% of unmarried U.S. women aged 15-44 are living with their partners, these women accounted for 31% of abortions among unmarried women in 2000, up from 21% in 1994. Abortion rates changed little for unmarried, cohabiting women between 1994 and 2000, following a steep rate of decline in their abortion rates between 1987 and 1994. Rates declined substantially (20%) among unmarried women who were not cohabiting between 1994 and 2000. The 1994-2000 pattern represents a dramatic slowdown in the rate of decrease among cohabiting women and an increasing rate of decline for noncohabiting, unmarried women. In all three years, cohabiting women had high abortion rates. * A large proportion (73%) of all women having abortions had been pregnant before: Some 48% had had a previous abortion, including 36% who had experienced both a previous birth and an abortion and 12% who had experienced only a previous abortion. It is also worth noting that 52% of women having abortions in 2000 intended to have (more) children in the future, and 22% were unsure of their birth intentions (not shown). * Abortion services are concentrated in cities, so it is often easier for women residing in metropolitan counties to obtain these services. Nine in 10 women obtaining abortions reside in metropolitan areas, compared with eight in 10 women aged 15-44. Women in metropolitan counties and those in nonmetropolitan counties had similar rates of decline in abortion between 1994 and 2000, but the abortion rate among women living in metropolitan counties in 2000 was still twice that among women residing in nonmetropolitan counties (24 vs. 12 per 1,000). * Poverty. Women with incomes below 200% of poverty made up 30% of all women of reproductive age, but accounted for 57% of all women having abortions in 2000: Twenty-seven percent of abortions were obtained by women living below the poverty line, and another 31% by women with incomes of 100-199% of poverty. The concentration of economically disadvantaged women among those having abortions was greater in 2000 than in 1994, when 50% of women obtaining abortions had incomes of less than 200% of poverty. * Medicaid. About one-quarter of women obtaining abortions were covered by Medicaid for general health care. The abortion rate among all women with Medicaid coverage (57 per 1,000) was three times the rate among women not covered by Medicaid. Between 1994 and 2000, the abortion rate among Medicaid recipients increased, whereas the rate among women who were not receiving Medicaid declined. <br> The increase in abortion rates among women with Medicaid coverage between 1994 and 2000 was an abrupt change from the 1987-1994 period, when abortion rates for this group declined substantially. Women with Medicaid coverage in 1987 had 71 abortions per 1,000, and by 1994 this rate had decreased by 29%, a decline that was larger than that for women with no Medicaid coverage. * Race/ethnicity. Of women obtaining abortions, 41% were non-Hispanic white, 32% were non-Hispanic black and 20% were Hispanic. The remaining women were Asian or Pacific Islander (6%) or Native American (1%). Between 1994 and 2000, the proportion of women obtaining abortions who were Asian or Pacific Islander increased. <br> The lowest abortion rate of all the racial and ethnic groups examined was among white women (13 per 1,000), while the highest rate was among black women (49 per 1,000). Hispanic and Asian women had abortion rates slightly higher than average (33 and 31 per 1,000, respectively). Between 1994 and 2000, abortion rates fell for all groups but Asians; the drop was largest (20%) among white women. <br> White women also had a lower pregnancy rate than any of the other racial or ethnic groups and, with only 18% of pregnancies ending in abortion, were the most likely to carry their pregnancies to term. <br> Black women's high abortion rate reflects both their high pregnancy rate and the high proportion of conceptions (43%) that ended in abortion. Hispanic women had the highest pregnancy rate of all the racial and ethnic groups (132 per 1,000); one-quarter of pregnancies ended in abortion. * Education. Among women aged 20 or older, those who had not graduated from high school accounted for 13% of abortions. High school graduates made up 30% of women having an abortion, and those with at least some college, 57%. <br> The abortion rate among college graduates (13 per 1,000) was lower than average; moreover, women with college degrees were the only educational group to show a higher-than-average decline in abortion rates (30%) between 1994 and 2000. The relatively small proportion of pregnancies among college graduates that ended in abortion (21%) and the below-average pregnancy rate account for their low abortion rate. Women with some college had a pregnancy rate that was lower than average, but 38% of their pregnancies ended in abortion in 2000, resulting in the highest abortion rate of any educational group (26 per 1,000). * Religious affiliation. The majority of women older than 17 who obtained an abortion reported a religious affiliation. The highest proportion (43%) identified themselves as Protestant. Twenty-seven percent of women having an abortion identified themselves as Catholic, and 8% as a member of another religion; 22% reported no religious affiliation. Thirteen percent identified themselves as "born-again" or evangelical, three-fourths of whom were Protestant (not shown). <br> Women affiliated with "other" religions and those who did not identify with any religion had the highest abortion rates (31 and 30 per 1,000, respectively). Women with no religious affiliation experienced the largest decline in abortion of all the groups examined (35%). * Information gathered from this nationally representative sample reveals that the typical woman having an abortion is between the ages of 20 and 30, has never married, has had a previous birth, lives in a metropolitan area, and is economically disadvantaged and Christian. However, women who have abortions are diverse, and unintended pregnancy leading to abortion is common in all population subgroups. <br> Although the national abortion rate decreased by 11% between 1994 and 2000, not all population groups participated equally in the decline, and some groups experienced increases. As a result, women having abortions are increasingly those who are never-married, low-income, nonwhite and Hispanic, and have already had at least one child. <br> Birthrates changed little between 1994 and 2000, and limited data suggest that no change occurred in the proportion of births that were unintended. Information from women who gave birth in 17 states in 1999 reveals that between one-third and one-half of these births were unintended. Comparable information gathered in nine of the states in 1993 suggests that the proportion of births that were unintended changed little between 1993 and 1999. If these dynamics apply to all women, then the decrease in abortion between 1994 and 2000 reflects decreases in both the overall rate of unintended pregnancy and the proportion of women with unintended pregnancies who have abortions. * Abortion rates among adolescents have been declining since the late 1980s. Parental involvement laws for minors took effect in eight states between 1994 and 2000. It is unlikely that these restrictions account for much of the decline in adolescent abortion rates during this time period because these states account for only 17% of female adolescents, and abortion rates also declined during this time period for other groups not affected by such restrictions. The pregnancy rate for adolescents aged 15-19 fell from 91 per 1,000 in 1994 to about 72 per 1,000 in 2000. The proportion of adolescent pregnancies ending in abortion was similar in both years—35% in 1994 and 34% in 2000, indicating that adolescent abortion rates did not decline between 1994 and 2000 because more teenagers were carrying their pregnancies to term. The decline in adolescent pregnancy may be a continuation of a trend toward more consistent use of contraceptives and use of more effective methods as well as decreases in sexual activity among at least some subgroups. * Economically disadvantaged women, who had high abortion rates in both 1994 and 2000, were the only group we examined whose abortion rate increased substantially during this period. Given that poverty is susceptible to measurement error, actual changes in abortion rates by poverty status may have been less drastic than our analysis suggests. Nonetheless, our findings demonstrate that abortion rates increased for economically disadvantaged women and women on Medicaid, while they decreased for middle- and higher-income women. * The decline in the number of women covered by Medicaid, and the parallel increase in the number with no insurance, was not accompanied by increased funding for free or low-cost family planning services. In fact, funding for Title X, the largest source of public funding for contraceptive services for women not covered by Medicaid, remained stable between 1994 and 1999 once inflation is taken into account. As a result, economically disadvantaged women may have had more difficulties accessing family planning services during this time period. * Black and Hispanic women are more likely than white women to be economically disadvantaged, and this partially explains their higher abortion rates. Within all three racial and ethnic groups, there is a clear association between poverty status and abortion, the abortion rate being higher among poor and low-income women than among those with incomes greater than 200% of poverty. However, economic status, as measured by poverty status, does not explain all the differences between racial and ethnic groups. Except in the lowest poverty-status group, black women have the highest abortion rates, followed by Hispanic women, and the lowest rates occur among white women. In 1994, the higher abortion rate among black women reflected primarily a rate of unintended pregnancy much higher than those among white and Hispanic women, as well as a somewhat higher proportion of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion. Black, Hispanic and white women at risk of unintended pregnancy have roughly similar levels of contraceptive use, but nonpoor black women using reversible methods have higher levels of contraceptive failure than do similar white and Hispanic women. Thus, the high levels of abortion among black women across economic statuses also point to a need for greater assistance in preventing unintended pregnancies. === “Contraceptive Use Among U.S. Women Having Abortions in 2000-2001” (November/December 2002) === <small> Rachel K. Jones, Jacqueline E. Darroch, Stanley K. Henshaw; [https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/article_files/3429402.pdf “Contraceptive Use Among U.S. Women Having Abortions in 2000-2001”] Volume 34, Issue 6, (November/December 2002) </small> * Some 45 of every 1,000 women aged 15–44 in the United States had an unintended pregnancy in 1994 (the latest year for which data are available). The high level of unintended pregnancy can be attributed to three factors: the failure of couples at risk of unintended pregnancy to practice contraception, incorrect or inconsistent use of contraceptive methods, and method failure among those practicing contraception correctly and consistently. <br> Approximately one-half of unintended pregnancies end in abortion. A substantial minority of women having abortions—42% in 1994–1995 and 49% in 1987—became pregnant because they and their partners were not using a contraceptive method. It is unknown, however, what proportion of pregnancies among method users were due to inconsistent or incorrect contraceptive use and what proportion were accounted for by method failure. ** p.294 * More than half of women obtaining abortions in 2000 (54%) had been using a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. This figure is slightly lower than the proportion of women having abortions in 1994 who had been contraceptive users (58%), but slightly higher than the proportion reported in 1987 (51%). In 2000, approximately 15% of women had been using the most effective methods—1% used long-acting methods (sterilization, the IUD, implants or injectables) and 14% the pill. Twenty-eight percent of all women having abortions had used the male condom, down from 32% in 1994 (the only method to decline by more than three percentage points). Withdrawal and periodic abstinence had been used by roughly one in 10 women having abortions. ** p.296 * Women using no contraceptive method made up a larger proportion of women having abortions than of all women at risk of unintended pregnancy (46% vs. 7%), mainly because the likelihood of pregnancy is extremely high among fertile, sexually active women when they do not use a contraceptive method. In contrast, a substantially lower proportion of women having abortions than of all women at risk of unintended pregnancy had used sterilization and other long-acting methods (1% vs. 41%), which reflects the very high rates of use-effectiveness of these methods. Pill users were underrepresented among women having abortions, whereas women using condoms and withdrawal were overrepresented. These patterns reflect the fact that women using oral contraceptives are more successful in avoiding accidental pregnancy than are those who rely on barrier or nonprescription methods. ** p.296 * The proportion of women having abortions who had not been using a contraceptive when they became pregnant varied across social and demographic subgroups from 37% to 54% (Table 2). Bivariate analyses reveal that adolescents and women aged 20–24 were significantly more likely than women aged 30 or older to be nonusers (47–50% vs. 44%). Decreases in income and education are associated with in-creased contraceptive nonuse: Women with family incomes below 300% of the federal poverty level were more likely than women with higher incomes not to be using a method of birth control in the month they became pregnant (45–52% vs. 40%), and women with less than a college degree were significantly more likely than college graduates to be nonusers (41–54% vs. 37%). Blacks, Hispanics and women of other races and ethnicities were more likely than whites to be nonusers (50–52% vs. 39%). Union status was barely associated with nonuse of contraception. Women who were the most likely to be nonusers were also the most likely never to have used a contraceptive method. For example, adolescents were more likely than women aged 30 or older to have never practiced contraception (12–19% vs. 7%). ** pp.296-297 * On the basis of our survey findings, we estimate that of the 1.3 million women who underwent induced abortions in 2000, 608,000 had not been using a contraceptive method around the time they became pregnant, 610,000 had been using a method but not consistently or correctly, and 95,000 had thought they were using the method perfectly but became pregnant because of method failure.* Although these estimates are based solely on women’s retrospective reports and perceptions of why they became pregnant, they raise issues that are common among all contraceptive users and thus need to be addressed. ** p.301 * Method failure rates during perfect use are quite low for oral contraceptives and male condoms (0.1–0.5% and 3%, respectively, in the first year of use). Previous research has found that some women overreport compliance with contraceptive regimens, and women having abortions may have overreported perfect method use. Nonetheless, the potential number of unintended pregnancies due to method failure is quite large. In 1995, 10 million women were using the pill, and eight million the condom. If all 10 million women using the pill did so perfectly over the full year, 0.1–0.5%, or 10,000–50,000 users, would have become pregnant. Similarly, if all eight million condom users used the method perfectly for the year, 3%, or 240,000, would have become pregnant. These estimates confirm the validity of the number of abortions that women attributed to method failure during perfect use (95,000). This finding underscores the importance of providing women and their partners with information and services they need to select methods with which they are most likely to be successful, as well as the continuing need for development of additional method choices. ** p.301 * Nearly one-fifth of all women having abortions—one in three nonusers and one in five condom users—were not using a contraceptive method or were using it inconsistently because of a perceived low risk of pregnancy. Some of these women may have assumed they were having intercourse in a “safe time” in their menstrual cycle; others may have thought their risk of pregnancy was low because they were postpartum or breastfeeding. Furthermore, some may have simply perceived the risk of becoming pregnant to be low, and some may have thought they or their partner was sterile. The frequency of perceived low risk for pregnancy among women who had abortions shows that women and their partners need accurate information about the probability of conception when contraception is not used, the variability of fertility cycles and the importance of consistent contraceptive use. ** p.302 * Twenty-seven percent of contraceptive nonusers and 13% of condom users—or 16% of all women having abortions— became pregnant because they were not expecting to have sex. Ambivalence about contraception had been experienced by 22% of nonusers, and small proportions of pill and condom users indicated that they did not care or they “didn’t feel like” using their method. Very few women indicated that ambivalence about childbearing intentions had directly influenced their contraceptive use, but among women who had used condoms in the month they became pregnant, those who intended to have a child or more children were more likely than those who did not to report inconsistent condom use or condom breakage or slippage. ** p.302 === "Abortion Incidence and Access to Services in the United States, 2008" (March 2011) === <small> Jones, Rachel K.; Kooistra, Kathryn (March 2011). [https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/pubs/psrh/full/4304111.pdf "Abortion Incidence and Access to Services in the United States, 2008"] (PDF). Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. 43 (1): 41–50. doi:10.1363/4304111. PMID 21388504. Retrieved December 8, 2017. </small> * RESULTS: In 2008, an estimated 1.21 million abortions were performed in the United States. The abortion rate increased 1% between 2005 and 2008, from 19.4 to 19.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44; the total number of abortion providers was virtually unchanged. Small changes in national abortion incidence and number of providers masked substantial changes in some states. Accessibility of services changed little: In both years, 35% of women of reproductive age lived in the 87% of counties that lacked a provider. Fifty-seven percent of nonhospital providers experienced antiabortion harassment in 2008; levels of harassment were particularly high in the Midwest (85%) and the South (75%). ** p.41 * The incidence of abortion in the United States declined for more than a decade, but this trend may be ending, or at least leveling off. Nationwide, the number of abortions peaked in 1990, at 1.61 million, and dropped 25%, to 1.21 million, by 2005.1 Similarly, the abortion rate declined 29% over the same period, from 27.4 per 1,000 women aged 15–44 to 19.4 per 1,000. However, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), based on records from health departments in 48 reporting areas, show that the number and rate of abortions increased 3% between 2005 and 2006. <br> The number and rate of abortions are in part dependent on the accessibility of abortion services, which may be affected by the number of providers, gestational limits, cost and antiabortion harassment. The number of abortion providers in the United States has been declining steadily:* It peaked in 1982, at 2,900 facilities, and had fallen to 1,800 by 2005. In that year, 87% of counties lacked an abortion provider, and 35% of women aged 15–44 lived in those counties; some of these women may lack the time or resources to travel to a provider. ** p.41 * In 2009, the murder of Dr. George Tiller—an abortion provider in Kansas—brought renewed attention to the issue of antiabortion harassment. Extreme acts of violence against abortion providers may lead to declines in the number of providers in the area. In 2000, some 82% of facilities providing 400 or more abortions per year experienced some type of harassment. Most commonly, harassment took the form of picketing and physical contact with or blocking of patients, but 15% of large providers received a bomb threat. ** p.41 * We asked fewer questions of hospitals because the individuals answering the questionnaires in these settings typically have access to less information about clients. Information restricted to nonhospital facilities represents the experience of most women having abortions, since these providers perform the vast majority of all abortions (95% in 2005). ** p.42 * In the prior census, California’s health department provided information about hospitals, but only for inpatient abortions (typically procedures performed late in the second trimester). For the current survey, we obtained hospital data on both inpatient and outpatient procedures; this allowed us to identify 65 additional hospital providers in the state in 2008. These facilities performed 470 abortions in 2008, and we expect many of them had provided small numbers of abortions in previous years as well. <br> Of the abortions that occurred in 2008, some 82% were reported by providers, 9% came from health department data, 6% were estimated by knowledgeable sources and 3% were projections or internal estimates. By comparison, in 2005, some 76% of abortions were reported by providers, 12% came from health departments, 9% were external estimates and 3% were estimated internally. ** p.42 * The incidence of abortion in the United States changed little between 2005 and 2008: The number of abortions increased by 0.5%, from 1,206,200 to 1,212,350, and the abortion rate increased 1%, from 19.4 to 19.6 per 1,000 women aged 15–44 (Table 1). The abortion ratio did not change over this period, remaining at 22 abortions per 100 pregnancies. <br> The lack of change in abortion incidence nationally masks variations by state. Delaware had the highest abortion rate in 2008 (40 per 1,000 women), partly because of a 37% increase in the number of abortions (Table 2, page 44). Most of this increase can be attributed to one provider that acknowledged underreporting abortions in the 2005 survey. New York and New Jersey had the second and third highest abortion rates (38 and 31 abortions per 1,000 women, respectively). The abortion rate in the District of Columbia dropped 45% between 2005 and 2008, from 54 to 30 per 1,000, which made it the fourth highest in the country. High rates were also seen in Maryland, California, Florida, Nevada and Connecticut (25–29 per 1,000). <br> Wyoming had the lowest abortion rate, less than 1 per 1,000 women; the fi ve states with the next lowest rates were Mississippi, Kentucky, South Dakota, Idaho and Missouri (5–6 abortions per 1,000). Notably, rates based on abortions performed in a given state may differ from rates based on abortions obtained by a state’s residents. For example, while only 70 abortions were reported in Wyoming in 2005, an estimated 1,100 were obtained by Wyoming residents in that year, and almost all of them occurred out of state. ** p.43 * Change in abortion rates varied both within and across regions between 2005 and 2008. As in prior years, the rate was highest in the Northeast (27 abortions per 1,000 women), followed by rates in the West, the South and the Midwest (22, 18 and 14 per 1,000, respectively). Both the South and the West showed slight increases in rates between 2005 and 2008 (1–2%). The largest rate increases in the South were in Delaware and Louisiana (39% and 38%, respectively); Georgia and Kentucky also had substantial increases (18% and 16%, respectively). California accounted for 18% of the nation’s abortions in 2008, and its 2% increase was responsible for most of the increase in the West. The abortion rate in the Northeast did not change between 2005 and 2008; over this period, the rate rose by 23% in Pennsylvania, while it declined by 8% in Massachusetts and 9% in New Jersey. In the Midwest, the abortion rate was unchanged; the sizable increases in North and South Dakota mainly refl ect small absolute increases in the relatively small number of abortions performed in those states. More notable were changes in two states that account for almost half of abortions in the Midwest: The abortion rate in Illinois rose by 9%, while Michigan showed a 5% decrease. ** p.43 * The national trend in the number of abortion providers paralleled that of abortion rates, showing very little change: 1,793 in 2008, compared with 1,787 in 2005 (Table 3). Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia experienced a decrease in providers, while nine had overall. ** p.44 * 94% of non-hospital medical abortions used mifepristone and misoprostol—6% used methotrexate and misoprostol—in the United States in 2008. increases and 14 experienced no change. The number of providers declined in the South (10%), the Northeast (8%) and the Midwest (5%). In contrast, it grew 15% in the West, largely because of a 23% increase in California. Without the newly identified facilities in California, the number of providers there would have increased by only 8%. ** p.44 * The potential impact of the loss of providers in a given state varies depending on the total number of providers in that state. For example, the largest decreases in the absolute number of providers occurred in New York and Florida, each of which had 12 fewer providers in 2008 than in 2005. However, this numerical loss of providers represented a 12% decline in providers in Florida but only a 5% decline in New York, because the latter had about 250 providers in both years. The loss of 10 providers in New Jersey represented a decline of 12% of that state’s providers. ** pp.45-46 * In 2008, the overwhelming majority of U.S. counties (87%) lacked an abortion provider, and 35% of women of reproductive age lived in these counties. The proportions were lower in the Northeast (53% and 18%) and the West (74% and 13%). The former is the most densely populated region, which partially accounts for the relatively good coverage. In addition, the fact that states in both regions have larger (and fewer) counties than states in the Midwest and the South helps explain the below-average proportions of counties without a provider. Abortion services are concentrated in cities. However, 69% of counties in metropolitan areas lacked a provider (not shown), and 25% of metropolitan women aged 15–44 lived in those counties. Almost all nonmetropolitan counties—97%—lacked an abortion provider, and 92% of women of reproductive age in these areas resided in those counties. These figures were virtually unchanged from those for 2005. ** p.46 * The 378 specialized abortion clinics accounted for 21% of all abortion providers, but performed 70% of all abortions in 2008 (Table 4). Most of these facilities reported 1,000 or more abortions during the year. A total of 473 nonspecialized clinics accounted for 24% of all abortions; some were similar to abortion clinics in having caseloads of 1,000 or more abortions per year. Overall, the number of very large providers (those performing 5,000 or more procedures) increased by more than 50% between surveys: Twenty facilities of this size accounted for 12% of all abortions in 2005, whereas 31 such facilities provided 17% of abortions in 2008. ** p.46 * Thirty-four percent of abortion providers were hospitals in 2008, but these facilities accounted for only 4% of all abortions. Many hospitals provide abortions only in cases of fetal anomaly or serious risk to the woman’s health, and a majority (65%) performed fewer than 30 abortions in 2008. Twenty-two hospitals reported 400–999 abortions during the year, and only nine reported 1,000 or more. ** p.46 * Some 19% of providers were physicians’ offices, but these facilities accounted for only 1% of all abortions. A majority of these offices (57%) reported fewer than 30 abortions; our survey may have missed a number of small providers in this category. ** p.46 * Fifty-nine percent of facilities provided one or more early medication abortions in 2008, a slightly higher proportion than in 2005; a 4% increase in the number of such providers occurred over this period (Table 5). The number of nonspecialized clinics that provided early medication abortion services increased by 23%, but the numbers of hospitals and physicians’ offices doing so decreased (by 13% and 9%, respectively). Eighty-three percent of abortion clinics and 88% of other clinics performed at least one early medication abortion in 2008, whereas 25% of hospitals and 55% of physicians’ offices did so. The likelihood of providing early medication abortion services increased with caseload—from 30% among the smallest providers to 94% among the largest. <br> A substantial number of clinics and physicians’ offices—164 facilities, or 9% of all providers—offered early medication abortions, but not surgical abortions (not shown). Eleven percent of physicians’ offices were in this group, as were 27% of nonspecialized clinics. (Information on number of early medication abortions was not available for 34% of nonhospital facilities and 49% of physicians’ offices, and some of these facilities may have provided only this service; hence, our estimate is a conservative one.) <br> Some 199,000 early medication abortions were performed in nonhospital facilities in 2008, representing a 24% increase from 2005. Mifepristone was used for 94% of these procedures (187,000), and methotrexate for the remainder (not shown). Slightly more than half of early medication abortions were administered by abortion clinics, and most of the rest by nonspecialized clinics. Physicians’ offices averaged about two medication abortions per month and accounted for only 2% of all such procedures. In 2008, some 17% of all abortions performed in nonhospital facilities were early medication abortions; nonspecialized clinics had the highest proportion of such abortions (30%). Early medication abortions accounted for a larger share of procedures at facilities with smaller caseloads: 37–49% at facilities in the two smallest caseload categories, but only 9% at those with the largest caseloads. We did not collect data on the gestational age at which abortions were performed, but using gestation data from the CDC,2 we estimate that in 2008, slightly more than one-quarter of eligible abortions, or those before nine weeks’ gestation, were performed using medication. ** p.46 * Most providers have limits on the earliest and latest gestations at which they will perform abortions, and women who are very early in their pregnancy or in the second trimester may have a difficult time locating appropriate services. Some 42% of providers offered abortions at four or fewer weeks since a woman’s last menstrual period (not shown). The greatest proportion of providers offered abortions at eight weeks’ gestation (95%), and 64% offered at least some second-trimester abortion services (13 weeks or later). Twenty-three percent offered abortions after 20 weeks’ gestation, and 11% did so. <br> Gestational limits varied by provider type. The pro-portion of nonspecialized clinics performing abortions dropped markedly after nine weeks—98% offered abortions at nine weeks’ gestation, while 63% did so at 10 weeks—probably because some provided only early medication abortion services. By comparison, 98% of abortion clinics offered abortions through the first trimester. Hospitals were more likely than other types of providers to offer abortions at later gestations: Fifty-eight percent reported that they performed abortions at 20 weeks’ gestation, whereas 36% of abortion clinics did so. at 24 weeks. Access to very early and later abortions changed little since 2005, when 40% of providers offered abortions at four weeks and 8% did so at 24 weeks. ** p.47 * A majority of women who access abortion services are poor or have a low income, and most women pay for the procedure out of pocket. The cost of obtaining an abortion, which varies by provider type and gestational age, may prevent some women from accessing this service. In 2009, the median charge* for a surgical abortion at 10 weeks’ gestation was $470 (Table 6, page 48). Abortion clinics charged the least ($425), and physicians’ offices the most ($535). Surgical abortions at 10 weeks’ gestation were most expensive at facilities that performed fewer than 30 abortions per year ($629) and least expensive at facilities with the highest caseloads ($400). <br> We weighted the cost data by number of abortions to account for the fact that more women obtain abortions at facilities with lower charges; the resulting measure represents abortion patients’ mean out-of-pocket expenditures. Women obtaining a surgical abortion at 10 weeks’ gestation paid $451 in 2009, on average. The comparable figure in 2006 was $413, which is equivalent to $440 in inflation-adjusted 2009 dollars.11 Thus, the average amount that women paid for a first-trimester surgical abortion increased by only $11 between 2006 and 2009. ** p.47 * Abortions after the first trimester cost more because of the extra time, skill and resources required. The median charge for an abortion at 20 weeks’ gestation was $1,500, and charges across provider types and facility caseloads ranged from $1,100 to $1,650. <br> The median charge for early medication abortions was $490. Patterns in these charges by type of facility and caseload were similar to those for surgical abortions at 10 weeks, though the price difference between the lowest and highest cost facilities was smaller ($50). Notably, the median charge for this procedure was higher than that for surgical procedures at 10 weeks, perhaps because early medication abortion is a newer technology, and providers consider the cost of the drug an add-on to the cost of their services. This general difference in the median cost held across provider types and caseloads, with two exceptions: At physicians’ offices and at facilities with the smallest caseloads, a medication abortion cost less than a surgical procedure. These providers may specialize in medication abortion and, in turn, charge more for surgical abortion because it requires more training and specialized equipment. ** pp.47-48 * Exposure to antiabortion harassment was common among nonhospital abortion providers in 2008: Fifty-seven percent experienced at least one of six types of harassment (Table 7). Picketing was the most common form of harassment (reported by 55%), followed by picketing combined with blocking patient access to facilities (21%). Internet harassment was assessed for the first time in this survey, and 3% of providers reported that protesters had posted pictures of patients on the Internet. <br> The overwhelming majority of abortion clinics—88%—experienced at least one form of harassment in 2008. Eighty-seven percent reported picketing; 42% reported picketing with patient blocking, and 21% cited incidents of vandalism. Nearly two-thirds of other clinics reported any type of harassment, but only 10% of physicians’ offices did so. <br> Harassment was also commonly reported by facilities that performed 400 or more abortions per year (89%). In 2000, when harassment was last assessed, 82% of providers with this size caseload reported at least one of five forms of harassment,4 which suggests a slight increase over this period. (Internet harassment was not measured in 2000, but even when this item was excluded from the 2008 data, 89% of these providers experienced at least one type of harassment.) Additionally, between 2000 and 2008, the proportion of such providers reporting picketing increased from 80% to 88%, and the proportion reporting picketing with contact or blocking access increased from 28% to 37%; the proportion that received bomb threats declined from 15% to 5%. Almost all providers that performed 1,000 or more abortions had been picketed in 2008, and 63% of facilities that performed 5,000 or more abortions reported picketing that involved blocking or physical contact. Nearly one in five of the largest facilities reported a bomb threat. <br> The incidence of harassment varied by region; 85% of providers in the Midwest and 75% in the South experienced any form of harassment, compared with 48% and 44% in the Northeast and the West, respectively. All types of harassment were more common among facilities in the Midwest and the South than elsewhere. Levels of harassment did not vary by gestational age at which abortions were offered among providers that performed 400 or more per year (not shown). ** p.48 * The long-term national decline in abortion incidence has stalled and may have ended. Both the number of abortions and the abortion rate increased slightly between 2005 and 2008. Notably, the small change in abortion incidence at the national level masks substantial changes in some states. <br>Delaware’s abortion rate is twice the national average and reflects, in part, that residents of other states obtain abortions in Delaware. Out-of-state residents accounted for an estimated 25% of abortions performed in the state in 2004. However, the apparent dramatic increase in the state’s abortion incidence is probably spurious, because abortions in 2005 were underreported at one facility. In other states, shifts in abortion incidence may be partially explained by interstate dynamics. For example, the decrease in the number of abortions in New Jersey was paralleled by an increase in the number in neighboring Pennsylvania. In 2004, some 12% of abortions among Pennsylvania residents were obtained out of state, but this proportion may have dropped in 2008. Meanwhile, although the District of Columbia still has one of the highest abortion rates in the country, it had the greatest decrease in abortion rate between 2005 and 2008, while neighboring Virginia had an increase. Over this three-year period, the District of Columbia experienced a substantial decline in providers because several clinics closed. In 2004, almost one in five abortions in the District were obtained by nonresidents,9 and in more recent years women likely chose to obtain an abortion in their state of residence, or had no choice but to do so. Indeed, the increase in abortion incidence in Virginia may reflect that fewer of this state’s women traveled to the District to terminate their pregnancies, as well as that more women traveled from the District to Virginia for this purpose.<br> Changes in abortion incidence may also be due to developments within a state. For example, the abortion rate in Georgia increased 18% between 2005 and 2008. The state gained three large clinic providers (including an abortion clinic), but it lost five small providers (hospitals and physicians’ offices). As a result, the proportion of women of reproductive age who lived in counties without a provider declined by five percentage points from the 62% level found in 2005, and the shift in provider types may have increased access to services and, in turn, the abortion rate. ** pp.48-49 * Early medication abortion has become an integral part of abortion care. Although the proportion of providers offering this service increased only slightly between 2005 and 2008, both the number of early medication abortions and the proportion of all abortions accounted for by this method grew substantially. Mifepristone use has grown steadily since its introduction in the United States in 2000, and substantially in recent years. We found a large increase in the number of mifepristone-induced abortions, from 158,000 in 200712 to 187,000 in 2008. This increase over one year corresponds with recent usage estimates from the manufacturer and may suggest an increased reliance on this procedure.13 Early medication abortion appears to be particularly important for nonspecialized clinics; it accounted for 30% of all abortions at these facilities, and a minimum of 27% of nonspecialized clinics offered only early medication abortion services. ** p.49 * Most of our measures of accessibility of abortion services showed little change between 2005 and 2008. As in the earlier year, 35% of women of reproductive age lived in the 87% of counties that lacked a provider. The proportions of providers offering abortions at four weeks after a woman’s last menstrual period and at 24 weeks also remained stable. Furthermore, after adjustment for inflation, the average amount that women paid for a first-trimester surgical abortion increased by only $11 between 2006 and 2009. This small change was particularly notable given that medical price inflation has increased at a faster pace than inflation in other sectors. The moderate rise in abortion cost may be the result of overt efforts by providers to keep the procedure affordable, or given the increase in poverty among abortion patients, it may reflect that more women obtain abortions at facilities that charge the least. ** p.49 * Most nonhospital abortion providers experienced at least one form of harassment, and the proportion of large providers reporting any form of harassment increased slightly between 2000 and 2008. For the first time, we examined variations in harassment by provider type, caseload and region; virtually all abortion clinics and large facilities had experienced at least one form of harassment, as had at least three-quarters of providers in the Midwest and the South. Extreme forms of harassment lead to fewer abortion providers,3 and the relatively high levels of harassment in the South and Midwest may have contributed to both the decline in numbers of abortion providers and their relatively small numbers in these regions. <br> Media reports suggest that the economic recession that began in late 2007 has led to increased demands for abortion services. This study was unable to assess these claims, as the small increase in abortion incidence began before the recession. ** p.49 * Undercounting has likely become more pronounced over the last decade because of the integration of mifepristone for early medication abortion at facilities that do not offer surgical abortions. In particular, facilities that performed few abortions may have been reluctant to identify themselves as abortion providers and may not have responded to the survey mailed out by the distributor of mifepristone. <br> While these dynamics might influence statistics related to the total number of providers, facilities with larger caseloads—which account for the overwhelming majority of abortions—are more easily identified because they are typically known by other providers in their communities and advertise on the Internet and in the yellow pages. ** p.49 * While nationally it would appear that little has changed regarding abortion incidence, abortion is only part of the larger picture of unintended pregnancy, and information on unintended births is also needed. An increase in the rate of unintended births along with the abortion rate would indicate that unintended pregnancy is on the rise. Alternately, if the rate of unintended births decreased, then the slight increase in the abortion rate might indicate that abortion had become more accessible. Between 1994 and 2000, abortion rates increased among poor and low-income women, while they decreased among those with higher incomes;18 the fact that the representation of poor women among abortion patients increased between 2000 and 2008,10 while the abortion rate declined only slightly during this period, suggests that barriers to abortion services were reduced for this population. In the context of the economic recession that was occurring in 2008, their growing representation could also signify that increasing financial instability left low-income women less able to prevent unintended pregnancy or less well equipped to carry an unintended pregnancy to term. <br> Patterns in abortion incidence and number of providers have several public policy implications. Abortions are usually the result of unintended pregnancies; affordable family planning services need to be widely available to women and their partners to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and, in turn, abortions. In addition, it is important to remove barriers to abortion services, especially for low-income women. Only 17 states use their own funds to cover all or most medically necessary abortions for women with Medicaid coverage. If more states did so, or if federal restrictions on Medicaid coverage for abortions were lifted, poor women could more easily access services when confronted with an unintended pregnancy. Harassment of abortion providers continues to be a problem, particularly in the Midwest and the South. More states need to enact and enforce laws that prohibit the most overt and damaging forms of harassment and allow access to this legal, needed and basic health care service. **p.50 === "Abortion Incidence and Service Availability in the United States, 2017" (2019) === <small> Jones, Rachel K.; Witwer, Elizabeth; Jerman, Jenna (2019).[https://www.guttmacher.org/report/abortion-incidence-service-availability-us-2017 "Abortion Incidence and Service Availability in the United States, 2017"]. ''Guttmacher Institute''. doi:10.1363/2019.30760. </small> * In 2017, an estimated 862,320 abortions were provided in clinical settings in the United States, representing a 7% decline since 2014 and the continuation of a long-term trend. <br> *The U.S. abortion rate dropped to 13.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in 2017, the lowest rate recorded since abortion was legalized in 1973. Abortion rates fell in most states and in all four regions of the country. <br> *A total of 339,640 medication abortions occurred in 2017—about 39% of all abortions. <br> *As in previous years, clinics provided the overwhelming majority of U.S. abortions (95%), while private physicians’ offices and hospitals accounted for 5%. * Although the number of state abortion restrictions continued to increase in the Midwest and South between 2014 and 2017, these restrictive policies do not appear to have been the primary driver of declining abortion rates. There was also no consistent relationship between increases or decreases in clinic numbers and changes in state abortion rates. <br>* Fertility rates declined in almost all states between 2014 and 2017, and it is unlikely that the decline in abortion was due to an increase in unintended births. <br> *Factors that may have contributed to the decline in abortion were improvements in contraceptive use and increases in the number of individuals relying on self-managed abortions outside of a clinical setting. * Abortion surveillance in the United States is an important public health indicator that is needed to estimate pregnancy rates, and it can also serve as a measure of access to reproductive health care. Between 2011 and 2014, the U.S. abortion rate declined from 16.9 to 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44, the lowest rate ever recorded and the continuation of a decades-long trend. Still, in 2014, almost one in five pregnancies ended in abortion, and given abortion rates in that year, an estimated one in four U.S. women will have an abortion in their lifetime. These statistics demonstrate that abortion is not uncommon. * The Supreme Court of the United States recognized the constitutional right to abortion in 1973 in Roe v. Wade. In the decades since, the Court has continued to affirm the fundamental right to abortion, including in 1992 in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and in 2016 in Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt.3,4 Despite existing precedents, states have continued to find ways to restrict or ban abortion, enacting more than 227 restrictions between January 2014 and June 2019.5 More than a dozen cases challenging some of the most extreme restrictions—such as bans on abortions after six weeks’ gestation—currently have the potential to reach the Supreme Court, and the outcomes could pose significant challenges to the legal framework protecting abortion rights. If the Court undermines or overturns Roe v. Wade, this will likely exacerbate existing disparities in abortion access and may allow individual states to explicitly or effectively ban abortion altogether. Although prior research has not found state policy to be the primary driver of the decline in the national abortion rate, abortion bans would undoubtedly prevent many individuals from obtaining abortion care in clinical settings. <br> Documenting changes in the number of health care facilities that provide abortion is also an important activity, as the number of facilities can directly affect the availability and accessibility of care. In 2014, the vast majority (95%) of abortions were provided by clinic facilities, while 4% were provided by hospitals and 1% by private physicians’ offices. Between 2011 and 2014, the number of clinics providing abortions had declined by 6%. These declines were steepest in the Midwest and South (22% and 13%, respectively), regions that had also enacted the most abortion restrictions. Still, the 2014 study did not identify a clear association between changes in clinic numbers and state abortion rates between 2011 and 2014; for example, the declines in abortion rates in some states that had lost one-third or more of their clinic facilities mirrored, or were smaller than, the national decline. Updated national data suggest that the overall number of facilities providing abortion did not change much between 2014 and 2017, but state and regional patterns of clinic closures may reveal meaningful patterns in availability of and access to services over time. * The total number of abortions, the abortion rate and the abortion ratio in the United States all declined between 2014 and 2017. In 2017, 862,320 abortions were provided in clinical settings, a 7% decline from 2014. The 2017 abortion rate of 13.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 represented an 8% decline from 2014. Just under one in five pregnancies (births and abortions), 18.4%, ended in abortion in 2017. <br> While abortion incidence and rates declined in most states, the degree of change varied substantially. Declines in abortion rates were largest in Delaware, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama and Virginia; most of these states also had abortion rates substantially lower than the national rate in 2014, so even a small change in this measure can seem large. Abortion rates increased in Mississippi, New Jersey, Minnesota, Georgia, Maryland and Wisconsin. While abortion rates declined in all four regions, the drop was steepest in the West (14%). Indeed, states considered to be supportive of abortion rights in 2017—including large states such as California and New York—accounted for 43% of all U.S. abortions in that year but 55% of the decline since 2014.<br> Areas with the highest abortion rates in 2017 were the District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Florida. Rates were lowest in Wyoming, South Dakota, Kentucky, Idaho and Missouri. Notably, our study measures abortion by state of occurrence and does not account for individuals crossing state lines for abortion care; in the five states with the lowest rates, 28% or more of individuals go out of state to obtain abortions. * In 2017, 1,587 health care facilities were known to have provided abortions, a 5% decline from 2014. Changes in the overall number of facilities over time varied by facility type. The number of hospitals providing abortions declined by 19%, from 638 to 518. This decrease was largely attributable to California, where 114 hospitals that provided 633 abortions in 2014 reported zero procedures in 2017 (data not shown). California hospitals accounted for the same proportion of abortions in the state in both years (5%). * In 2017, 89% of U.S. counties did not have a clinic facility that provided abortion care, and 38% of women aged 15–44 lived in these counties; these figures are comparable to those found in 2014—90% and 39%, respectively. In five states, fewer than 10% of women lived in a county without a clinic facility: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada and New York. In Mississippi and Wyoming, more than 90% of women lived in a county without such a clinic. * In 2017, 339,640 medication abortions were provided in nonhospital facilities, a 25% increase from 2014. Medication abortion accounted for 39% of all abortions. Assuming that health care providers followed the FDA-recommended regimen that allows mifepristone to be administered up to 10 weeks’ gestation, we estimate that 60% of all eligible abortions were early medication abortions (data not shown). The majority of medication abortions were provided by specialized clinics and at high-volume facilities (those with annual caseloads of more than 1,000 abortions). * Between 2014 and 2017, abortions provided in clinical settings in the United States continued to decline. The 2017 rate of 13.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 is the lowest recorded since abortion was legalized nationally in 1973 and is 54% lower than the peak rate of 29.3 per 1,000 in 1980. The decline was seen across all four regions and most states. <br> One factor that can contribute to declines in abortion is a reduction in the number of facilities providing this care. While hospitals and physicians’ offices constituted a substantial share of abortion-providing facilities, the overwhelming majority of abortions, 95%, were provided by clinics * All 10 states that had a meaningful increase in clinic numbers also showed declines in their abortion rates. Most of the new facilities, or facilities that had not previously provided abortions in these states, were nonspecialized clinics, suggesting that the concurrent expansion of abortion care and decrease in abortion rates was taking place in the context of an increase in comprehensive health care. <br> While the decline in the number of clinics providing abortion care in some states likely prevented some patients from obtaining wanted abortions, other factors also contributed to the decline in the abortion rate. Fertility rates declined in virtually all states between 2014 and 2017, suggesting that the drop in abortions was not compensated for by an increase in births. Rather, declines in reported abortions could be related to at least two other factors: self-managed abortion and a decline in pregnancy rates. * The majority of patients obtaining abortions are poor or low-income, many lack health insurance that will cover the procedure, and many live in states with numerous abortion restrictions. <br> These factors, along with the increased accessibility of resources to help individuals safely self-manage their abortions outside of a clinical setting, likely account for some of the decline in abortions that we have documented. However, one national survey of U.S. adult women, conducted in 2017, found that only 1.4% reported ever having attempted to end a pregnancy on their own. Moreover, 24% of these instances had occurred prior to 2000, and only 28% were reported to have been successful. Abortion is underreported on surveys of this type, and the actual incidence may be higher, but it is nonetheless unlikely that even a substantial increase in self-managed abortion can account for the majority of the decline in abortion incidence nationally during the study period. <br> The decline in births and abortions also means that fewer people were getting pregnant. Improved contraceptive use is one factor that could have contributed to this change. The most recent national data suggest that between 2014 and 2016, the proportion of women aged 15–44 using long-acting reversible contraceptive methods increased by 23%, from 13% to 16%; levels of sterilization were 25% and 26%, respectively. Greater reliance on highly effective methods appears to have been balanced by a drop in the use of hormonal methods such as the pill and the injectable (Depo) which, combined, declined from 29% to 25% of all contraceptive use. Still, it is possible that a decline in contraceptive failures could have reduced the incidence of unintended pregnancy. Additionally, state-level efforts to increase access to long-acting reversible contraceptive methods may have had a measurable impact, particularly in states with higher-than-average abortion rates. * Our study measured abortion by state of occurrence, but many patients cross state lines to obtain care. For example, CDC data for 2015 suggest that 28% of abortions reported to have occurred to residents of Idaho and 83% of those to residents of Wyoming were obtained in other states. Similarly, though the District of Columbia (DC) had the highest abortion rate in the country in 2017, the majority of abortions provided in DC in 2014 were for nonresidents, most commonly individuals from Maryland or Virginia. * Declines in abortion were seen in all four regions of the United States, including in states with policy landscapes that were both restrictive toward and supportive of abortion rights. However, access to abortion, when measured by the number of clinic facilities in a state, has become more polarized across regions of the country. The overall number of clinics increased in the Northeast and the West but declined in the Midwest and the South; in addition, more states (all in the Midwest or the South) have only one clinic remaining. These patterns demonstrate that the existence of more clinic facilities does not necessarily translate to an increase in abortion rates. Rather, an increase in clinic numbers likely represents greater access to health care in general, enabling patients to travel shorter distances, obtain abortion care in nonspecialized settings and perhaps obtain contraceptive care more easily. <br> Medication abortion plays an integral role in abortion care, having accounted for 39% of all abortions in 2017 and more than half of abortions occurring prior to 10 weeks’ gestation. The availability of mifepristone not only allows some patients to choose between types of abortion procedure, but also lends itself to innovations in health care delivery models, such as telemedicine. For this reason, the landscape of abortion provision and access in the United States may change as these innovations spread. In addition, the increased availability of highly effective and affordable abortion pills via the internet has the potential to substantially increase access to abortion, for which future surveillance efforts will need to account. It will also be important to ensure that policies and funding promote access to all methods of abortion, so that people seeking this care are able to obtain the care that is best for them. <br> As abortion service delivery and utilization continue to be restricted at the state level, documentation of abortion incidence, abortion rates and numbers of service sites is necessary to establish baselines and measure trends in a changing health care landscape. === "The Impact of State Mandatory Counseling and Waiting Period Laws on Abortion: A Literature Review" (April 2009) === <small> Theodore J. Joyce; Stanley K. Henshaw; Amanda Dennis; Lawrence B. Finer; Kelly Blanchard (April 2009).

Guttmacher Institute. Archived from the original (PDF) on 16 March 2012. Retrieved 31 December 2010.</small> * Proponents of mandatory counseling and waiting period laws argue that the state has a duty to ensure that before a woman decides to terminate a pregnancy she has been given ample time, after having been given information about her pregnancy and abortion, to weigh her options. Those opposed to these laws argue that such statutes are unneeded because physicians are required to obtain informed consent before all procedures (including abortion), that the laws impose an unnecessary burden on women who are seeking abortions and that women are able to make informed decisions about terminating a pregnancy without the imposition of a state-mandated waiting period. Opponents further argue that mandatory counseling and waiting period laws serve no medical purpose and are a ruse to decrease the accessibility of abortion. ** p.3 * Evaluators of mandatory counseling and waiting period laws face many of the same challenges that confront researchers of other state policies that affect access to abortion services, such as parental involvement laws and Medicaid financing of abortions.‡ For instance, national data on abortion compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are collected by state of occurrence and not by state of residence. Using abortion data by state of occurrence to evaluate a mandatory counseling and waiting period law can lead to spurious findings if women leave their state of residence for an abortion, and if nonresidents stop coming into a state for the procedure, once the law is enforced. The problem is exacerbated by the relatively few states (seven*) that enforce the strictest form of a mandatory waiting period law—requiring in-person counseling at least 18 hours prior to the procedure—since women can travel to nearby states if they want an abortion without a required delay. In addition, mandatory counseling and waiting period laws affect women of all ages and incomes, not just minors or those eligible for Medicaid. However, older, nonpoor women have more education and are more likely to have independent income, their own means of transportation and other resources that could make accessing services in other states a more feasible option. For the results of an evaluation to be valid, therefore, researchers should demonstrate that few women left their state of residence to obtain an abortion in response to laws of this kind, or if they did, the researcher must be able to include in the analysis abortions obtained by a state’s residents in other states. ** pp.3-4 * Distinguishing short-term from longer-term effects of a law is another challenge. A mandatory counseling and waiting period law may cause an initial drop in abortion rate or a rise in the rate of second-trimester abortions. However, as more women become aware of the law and as more clinics improve scheduling and administration of the counseling, the “costs” associated with compliance may fall, along with the law’s impact on outcomes. In any case, it is very difficult to credibly link longer-term declines in abortion or the timing of abortion to the impact of a law, given the likelihood of confounding from other factors that influence abortion rates. ** p.5 * Early qualitative assessments of experiences with mandatory counseling and waiting period laws found that abortion patients and providers were burdened in multiple ways by the legislation. Women who had obtained an abortion described negative physical and mental health consequences, such as physical discomfort and mental distress. Women also reported increased burdens from having to visit clinics multiple times and having to travel out of state to a provider who was not affected by such laws. Interviews with providers suggested that many struggled to adjust to the laws immediately after implementation. These early findings make intuitive sense, as any change in this type of regulation will have some effect on providers and patients, particularly as the logistics of meeting the new requirements are being worked out. But it is important to note that these studies were conducted in a limited geographic area and included a relatively small number of women and providers. Despite the limited generalizability of these qualitative studies, they are valuable because they are the only ones to evaluate mandatory counseling and waiting period laws using such methods. ** p.15 * The results from Mississippi were the most convincing. Overall, the state’s mandatory counseling and waiting period statute—with its requirement that all counseling be done in person 24 hours prior to an induced termination—was associated with a decline in the abortion rate, a rise in abortions obtained out of state and an increase in the proportion of second-trimester abortions. These findings were consistent across three studies, each with a distinct research design. ** p.15 * The broader analyses that included data from all available states found that counseling and waiting period laws had no impact on abortion rates or birthrates. Most laws are less demanding than that of Mississippi, and it is probably safe to conclude that if they affect reproductive outcomes, the effect is not large. However, the possibility of unmeasured confounding variables and other limitations of the studies preclude ruling out small effects. A corollary finding is that mandatory counseling also has little effect on women’s abortion decisions. Since states require that specific information be provided to the woman before the waiting period, if the delay has no effect, then neither does the mandated counseling. ** p.15 * We conclude that mandatory counseling and waiting period laws that require an additional in-person visit before the procedure likely increase both the personal and the financial costs of obtaining an abortion, thereby preventing some women from accessing abortion services. If neighboring states have similar laws, so that access to an abortion provider who does not require this strict form of waiting period requires extensive travel, then such laws are likely to lower abortion rates, delay women who are seeking abortions and result in a higher proportion of second-trimester abortions. Laws that allow mandatory counseling to be delivered over the Internet or by mail or telephone impose lower costs on both patients and providers, and neither the waiting period requirement nor the counseling appears to have a large impact on reproductive outcomes. However, by definition such statutes do cause some delay, and the one study that addressed this issue found a 41% increase in the rate of second-trimester abortions.6 While this might not be an accurate measure of the magnitude of the effect, it is likely that some abortions are delayed to the second trimester. ** p.15 === "Alabama governor signs nation's most restrictive anti-abortion bill into law" (May 15, 2019) === <small> Kelly, Caroline (May 15, 2019).

Retrieved May 15, 2019. </small> * Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed into law a controversial abortion bill that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison. <br> “Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, a bill that was approved by overwhelming majorities in both chambers of the Legislature,” said Ivey, a Republican, in a statement. “To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God.” <br> The Alabama Senate passed the bill 25-6 late Tuesday night. The law only allows exceptions “to avoid a serious health risk to the unborn child’s mother,” for ectopic pregnancy and if the “unborn child has a lethal anomaly.” * “No matter one’s personal view on abortion, we can all recognize that, at least for the short term, this bill may similarly be unenforceable,” Ivey wrote. “As citizens of this great country, we must always respect the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court even when we disagree with their decisions. Many Americans, myself included, disagreed when Roe v. Wade was handed down in 1973. The sponsors of this bill believe that it is time, once again, for the U.S. Supreme Court to revisit this important matter, and they believe this act may bring about the best opportunity for this to occur.” * Republican state Sen. Clyde Chambliss, who ushered the bill through the chamber, repeatedly referred on the Senate floor Tuesday to a “window” of time between conception and when a woman knows for certain that she’s pregnant. The state senator said he believed that time was between about seven and 10 days. <br> Yashica Robinson, an obstetrician at the Alabama Women’s Center for Reproductive Alternatives who provides abortion services, said the law would have a “devastating impact” on patients. She said that she was unclear under what circumstances the law would allow an abortion based on “reasonable medical judgment” and health of the mother. <br> “I’m not clear about exactly what that means,” Robinson said on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.” “I’ve already met instances where it is difficult for us to determine those things in the health care setting now, and it has resulted in delays in care.” * The bill’s passage Tuesday night elicited a wave of protest from a slew of Democrats, including 2020 hopefuls, and celebrities. <br> Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke all ripped the legislation as unconstitutional. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, California Rep. Eric Swalwell, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren vowed to protect Roe. <br> New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced that she was headed to Georgia to “fight back, hard, on the frontlines” against “the greatest threat to reproductive freedom in our lifetimes.” <br> Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton called the bill an example of “appalling attacks on women’s lives and fundamental freedoms.” * American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama Executive Director Randall Marshall promised Ivey a lawsuit, slamming the governor for the anticipated legal costs that the legislation would mean for the state from court challenges. Br> “By signing this bill, the governor and her colleagues in the state legislature have decided to waste millions in Alabama taxpayer dollars in order to defend a bill that is simply a political effort to overturn 46 years of precedent that has followed the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision,” he wrote in a statement Wednesday. <br> “We will not allow that to happen, and we will see them in court,” Marshall added. “Despite the governor signing this bill, clinics will remain open, and abortion is still a safe, legal medical procedure at all clinics in Alabama.” <br> Marshall told CNN on Tuesday before the bill’s Senate passage that his organization would join with the national ACLU, Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood Southeast to challenge the measure in court within “a few weeks” should it become law. *Staci Fox, president of Planned Parenthood Southeast, reiterated promises of a court challenge. <br> “We vowed to fight this dangerous abortion ban every step of the way and we meant what we said,” Fox told CNN. “We haven’t lost a case in Alabama yet and we don’t plan to start now.” === "Illinois governor signs sweeping abortion protection bill into law" (June 12, 2019) === <small> Caroline Kelly (June 12, 2019).

CNN. </small> * Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a sweeping abortion access protection bill into law Wednesday. <br> “Today we proudly proclaim that in this state, we trust women,” Pritzker said at a bill signing event at the Chicago Cultural Center. “And in Illinois we guarantee as a fundamental right a woman’s right to choose.” * The Illinois bill, effective immediately, protects an individual’s “fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about one’s own reproductive health,” including to continue a “pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion.” <br> The bill repeals the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975, which punished doctors for abortions not deemed “necessary,” as well as the the state’s Partial-birth Abortion Ban Act. It also establishes “that a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights under the law, of this State.” <br> Pritzker praised the bill as a safeguard against federal abortion restrictions and expressly welcomed women from states limiting reproductive care to seek care in Illinois. <br> The bill “ensures that women’s rights do not hinge on Roe V. Wade or the whims of an increasingly conservative supreme court in Washington,” he said. <br> He later urged states that have pushed forward abortion bans to “change their minds” and “revisit the issue.” <br> “But Illinois knows where we stand and we’re going to be here for women if they have to be refugees from other states,” he added. * State lawmakers Wednesday touted Illinois as a beacon of support for reproductive health in light of recent restrictions by nearby states such as Missouri – and their possible future implications – on abortion access. <br> Democratic state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, who sponsored the bill in the House, said Wednesday that with the bill’s signing, “we are building a firewall around Illinois to protect access to reproductive healthcare for everyone.” <br> Bill co-sponsor Democratic state Sen. Melinda Bush said that “we want to make sure that Illinoisans can now rest assured – regardless of what happens at the federal level, they’ll have access to comprehensive” reproductive care. <br> She also urged other states to “#belikeIllinois and trust women,” she said, adding that lawmakers would ask “every other state legislature to take this up.” * Pro-life advocates have criticized the bill. The Thomas More Society, a pro-life law firm based in Chicago, characterized the bill as “legalizing the death penalty, with no possibility of appeal, for viable unborn preemies.” <br> Former Illinois Representative and Thomas More Society Vice President Peter Breen slammed the measure as “the most radical sweeping pro-abortion measure in America and makes Illinois an abortion destination for the country.” * The bill passed the state Senate by a 34-20 vote last month, with Bush describing the bill as a safeguard against the “real possibility” of an attempt to overturn Roe. <br> Pritzker has consistently backed the bill, urging the Senate to pass it after the state House did so by a 64-50 vote and expressing anticipation to sign in. <br> “With reproductive healthcare under attack across the country, we must do everything in our power to protect women’s rights in Illinois,” he tweeted at the time, adding, “Today was a major step forward for every woman in this state and I look forward (to) continuing my work as an ally by signing the Reproductive Healthcare Act into law.” === "CHARTS: How Roe v. Wade changed abortion rights" (January 22, 2013) === <small> Kliff, Sarah, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/01/22/charts-how-roe-v-wade-changed-abortion-rights/ "CHARTS: How Roe v. Wade changed abortion rights"]. The Washington Post, (January 22, 2013). </small> * Today marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that made abortion a legal right. The decision was transformational: Overnight, abortion went from being banned by all but a handful of states to being legal in all 50. Movements quickly built up in defense, and opposition, of the ruling. <br> Forty years later, a lot has changed. While the Roe decision still stands, abortion opponents have made significant gains passing restrictions on abortion access. There are fewer abortion providers than there were in 1973 and fewer clinics. * Legal abortion rates increased significantly following the Roe decision but have declined for the past three decades. <br> In 1973, Roe v. Wade legalized first-trimester, elective abortion and also gave some protections to terminations later in the pregnancy. Abortion rates climbed after the decision, a trend that had started in the late 1960s, as states began liberalizing their abortion laws. <br> Abortion rates have now been declining since the 1980s and hit an all-time low in 2009, the most recent year for which data is available. * The number of abortion providers has declined steadily since the mid-1970s, although looks to have held relatively steady in the late 2000s. <br> Ever since the early 1980s, the number of doctors performing abortions has steadily declined. A number of factors likely contribute to this trend, including state-level abortion restrictions and a wave of violence against abortion providers in the 1990s, when five were killed. The decrease in abortion providers has correlated with a decrease in the rate of abortions. * Abortion has become increasingly concentrated among low-income, minority women. <br> Over the past four decades, the demographics of abortion have shifted significantly. In 1973, white women accounted for over three-quarters of all abortions. Now, that number hovers just below 60 percent. * A wave of abortion restrictions passed in 2011, followed by a steep drop in 2012. <br> Roe provides widespread protections to elective abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy. But in later rulings, the Supreme Court has allowed states to restrict access to abortion. Since them, states have increasingly done so. In 2011, states passed 92 laws restricting abortion access, more than double the restrictions passed in any other year. The number dropped to 43 in 2012 - fewer than in 2011, but still higher than any other year prior. * Most abortion restrictions target minors or focus on delaying the procedure with a waiting period. <br> States have gravitated towards a handful of abortion restrictions that appear to pass muster with the Supreme Court. Waiting periods and parental notifications became more frequent in the 1990s, after the Supreme Court ruled that such restrictions did not represent an "undue burden" on the woman. === "Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2018" (2020) === <small> Kortsmit, K; Jatlaoui, TC; Mandel, MG (2020).

Among 48 reporting areas with data each year during 2009–2018, in 2018, a total of 614,820 abortions were reported, the abortion rate was 11.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 189 abortions per 1,000 live births. From 2017 to 2018, the total number of abortions and abortion rate increased 1% (from 609,095 total abortions and from 11.2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, respectively), and the abortion ratio increased 2% (from 185 abortions per 1,000 live births). From 2009 to 2018, the total number of reported abortions, abortion rate, and abortion ratio decreased 22% (from 786,621), 24% (from 14.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and 16% (from 224 abortions per 1,000 live births), respectively. <br> In 2018, women in their 20s accounted for more than half of abortions (57.7%). In 2018 and during 2009–2018, women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years accounted for the highest percentages of abortions; in 2018, they accounted for 28.3% and 29.4% of abortions, respectively, and had the highest abortion rates (19.1 and 18.5 per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively). By contrast, adolescents aged <15 years and women aged ≥40 years accounted for the lowest percentages of abortions (0.2% and 3.6%, respectively) and had the lowest abortion rates (0.4 and 2.6 per 1,000 women aged <15 and ≥40 years, respectively). However, abortion ratios in 2018 and throughout 2009–2018 were highest among adolescents (aged ≤19 years) and lowest among women aged 25–39 years. Abortion rates decreased from 2009 to 2018 for all women, regardless of age. The decrease in abortion rate was highest among adolescents compared with women in any other age group. From 2009 to 2013, the abortion rates decreased for all age groups and from 2014 to 2018, the abortion rates decreased for all age groups, except for women aged 30–34 years and those aged ≥40 years. In addition, from 2017 to 2018, abortion rates did not change or decreased among women aged ≤24 and ≥40 years; however, the abortion rate increased among women aged 25–39 years. Abortion ratios also decreased from 2009 to 2018 among all women, except adolescents aged <15 years. The decrease in abortion ratio was highest among women aged ≥40 years compared with women in any other age group. The abortion ratio decreased for all age groups from 2009 to 2013; however, from 2014 to 2018, abortion ratios only decreased for women aged ≥35 years. From 2017 to 2018, abortion ratios increased for all age groups, except women aged ≥40 years. In 2018, approximately three fourths (77.7%) of abortions were performed at ≤9 weeks’ gestation, and nearly all (92.2%) were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. In 2018, and during 2009–2018, the percentage of abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation remained consistently low (≤9.0%). In 2018, the highest proportion of abortions were performed by surgical abortion at ≤13 weeks’ gestation (52.1%), followed by early medical abortion at ≤9 weeks’ gestation (38.6%), surgical abortion at >13 weeks’ gestation (7.8%), and medical abortion at >9 weeks’ gestation (1.4%); all other methods were uncommon (<0.1%). Among those that were eligible (≤9 weeks’ gestation), 50.0% of abortions were early medical abortions. In 2017, the most recent year for which PMSS data were reviewed for pregnancy-related deaths, two women were identified to have died as a result of complications from legal induced abortion. * Interpretation: Among the 48 areas that reported data continuously during 2009–2018, decreases were observed during 2009–2017 in the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions, and these decreases resulted in historic lows for this period for all three measures. These decreases were followed by 1%–2% increases across all measures from 2017 to 2018. * After nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973, the total number, rate (number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and ratio (number of abortions per 1,000 live births) of reported abortions increased rapidly, reaching the highest levels in the 1980s, before decreasing at a slow yet steady pace. During 2006–2008, a break occurred in the previously sustained pattern of decrease, although this break has been followed in subsequent years by even greater decreases. Nonetheless, throughout the years, abortion incidence continues to vary across subpopulations. Continued surveillance is needed to monitor changes in abortion incidence in the United States. * Among the 49 reporting areas that provided data for 2018, a total of 619,591 abortions were reported. Of these abortions, 614,820 (99.2%) were from 48 reporting areas that provided data every year for 2009–2018. In 2018, these continuously reporting areas had an abortion rate of 11.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and an abortion ratio of 189 abortions per 1,000 live births. In 2017, the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions decreased to historic lows for the period of analysis for all three measures. From 2017 to 2018, the total number of reported abortions and abortion rate increased 1% (from 609,095 to 614,820 total abortions and from 11.2 to 11.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio increased 2% (from 185 to 189 abortions per 1,000 live births). From 2009 to 2018, the total number of reported abortions decreased 22% (from 786,621), the abortion rate decreased 24% (from 14.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 16% (from 224 abortions per 1,000 live births). <br> In 2018, a considerable range existed in abortion rates by reporting area of occurrence (from 2.4 to 26.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in South Dakota and New York City) and abortion ratios (from 32 to 518 abortions per 1,000 live births in South Dakota and the District of Columbia). The percentage of abortions obtained by out-of-state residents also varied among reporting areas (from 0.4% in Arizona to 65.4% in the District of Columbia). Overall, 0.9% of abortions were reported to CDC with unknown residence. * Among the 48 areas that reported abortion numbers by women’s age for 2018, women in their 20s accounted for the majority (57.7%) of abortions and had the highest abortion rates (19.1 and 18.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively). Women in the youngest (<15 years) and oldest (≥40 years) age groups accounted for the smallest percentages of abortions (0.2% and 3.6%, respectively) and had the lowest abortion rates (0.4 and 2.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged <15 and ≥40 years, respectively). In contrast, abortion ratios in 2018 were lowest among women aged 25–39 years (126–189 per 1,000 live births). * Among the 44 reporting areas that provided data each year by women’s age for 2009–2018, this pattern across age groups was stable, with the majority of abortions and the highest abortion rates occurring among women aged 20–29 years and the lowest percentages of abortions and abortion rates occurring among women in the youngest and oldest age groups. From 2009 to 2018, abortion rates decreased among all age groups, although the decreases for adolescents (64% and 55% for adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years, respectively) were greater than the decreases for women in all older age groups. From 2009 to 2013, the abortion rates decreased for all age groups, and from 2014 to 2018, the abortion rates decreased for all age groups except women aged 30–34 years and ≥40 years. From 2017 to 2018, abortion rates did not change or decreased among women aged ≤24 and ≥40 years; however, the abortion rate increased among women aged 25–39 years. During 2009–2018, abortion ratios decreased among women in all age groups, except for adolescents aged <15 years. The abortion ratio decreased for all age groups from 2009 to 2013; however, from 2014 to 2018, abortion ratios only decreased for women aged ≥35 years. From 2017 to 2018, abortion ratios increased for all age groups, except women aged ≥40 years. <br> Among the 46 areas that reported women’s age by individual year among adolescents for 2018, adolescents aged 18–19 years accounted for the majority (69.7%) of adolescent abortions and had the highest adolescent abortion rates (8.6 and 12.2 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 18 and 19 years, respectively). Adolescents aged <15 years accounted for the smallest percentage of adolescent abortions (2.5%) and had the lowest adolescent abortion rate (0.4 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 13–14 years). In 2018, the abortion ratio for adolescents was highest among adolescents aged <15 years (833 abortions per 1,000 live births) and was lowest among adolescents aged ≥17 years (336, 346, and 284 abortions per 1,000 live births among adolescents aged 17, 18, and 19 years, respectively). * Among the 31 areas that reported race/ethnicity data for 2018, non-Hispanic White women and non-Hispanic Black women accounted for the largest percentages of all abortions (38.7% and 33.6%, respectively), and Hispanic women and non-Hispanic women in the other race category accounted for smaller percentages (20.0% and 7.7%, respectively). Non-Hispanic White women had the lowest abortion rate (6.3 abortions per 1,000 women) and ratio (110 abortions per 1,000 live births), and non-Hispanic Black women had the highest abortion rate (21.2 abortions per 1,000 women) and ratio (335 abortions per 1,000 live births). * Among the 42 areas that reported by marital status for 2018, 14.8% of women who obtained an abortion were married, and 85.2% were unmarried. The abortion ratio was 44 abortions per 1,000 live births for married women and 378 abortions per 1,000 live births for unmarried women. * Data from the 43 areas that reported the number of previous live births for women who obtained abortions in 2018 indicate that 40.7%, 24.8%, 19.8%, and 14.7% of these women had zero, one, two, or three or more previous live births, respectively. Data from the 40 areas that reported the number of previous abortions for women who obtained abortions in 2018 indicate that the majority (59.9%) had previously had no abortions, 23.9% had previously had one abortion, 9.9% had previously had two abortions, and 6.4% had previously had three or more abortions. * Among the 42 areas that reported gestational age at the time of abortion for 2018, approximately three fourths (77.7%) of abortions were performed at ≤9 weeks’ gestation, and nearly all (92.2%) were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. Fewer abortions were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation (6.9%) or at ≥21 weeks’ gestation (1.0%). Among the 34 reporting areas that provided data every year on gestational age for 2009–2018, the percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation changed negligibly, from 91.8% to 91.5%. However, within this gestational age range, a shift occurred toward earlier gestational ages, with the percentage of abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increasing 8% and the percentage of abortions performed at 7–9 weeks’ and 10–13 weeks’ gestation decreasing 2% and 14%, respectively. During 2009–2018, abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation accounted for ≤9.0% of abortions. Among the 45 areas that reported by method type for 2018 and included medical abortion on their reporting form, 52.1% of abortions were surgical abortions at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, 38.6% were early medical abortions (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤9 weeks’ gestation), 7.8% were surgical abortions at >13 weeks’ gestation, and 1.4% were medical abortions at >9 weeks’ gestation; other methods, including intrauterine instillation and hysterectomy/hysterotomy, were both uncommon (<0.1%). Among the 37 reporting areas*** that included medical abortion on their reporting form and provided these data for the relevant years of comparison, use of early medical abortion increased 9% from 2017 to 2018 (from 34.7% of abortions to 37.7%) and 120% from 2009 to 2018 (from 17.1% of abortions to 37.7%). Increases in early medical abortion occurred both from 2009 to 2013 (from 17.1% of abortions to 22.7% [33% increase]) and from 2014 to 2018 (from 23.3% of abortions to 37.7% [62% increase]). * Among the 40 areas that reported abortions categorized by individual weeks of gestation and method type, surgical abortion accounted for the largest percentage of abortions within every gestational age category, except ≤6 weeks’ gestation. At ≤6 weeks’ gestation, surgical abortion accounted for 45.1% of abortions. Surgical abortion accounted for 55.3% of abortions at 7–9 weeks’ gestation, 93.8%–98.4% of abortions at 10–20 weeks’ gestation, and 91.9% of abortions at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. In contrast, medical abortion accounted for 54.9% of abortions at ≤6 weeks’ gestation, 44.7% of abortions at 7–9 weeks’ gestation, 6.2% of abortions at 10–13 weeks’ gestation, 1.5%–3.2% of abortions at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and 7.2% of abortions at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. For each gestational age category (if applicable), abortions performed by intrauterine instillation or hysterectomy/hysterotomy were rare (<0.1%–0.8% of abortions). * In selected reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by weeks of gestation were further categorized by age and race/ethnicity. In every subgroup for these characteristics, the largest percentage of abortions occurred at ≤9 weeks’ gestation. In 42 reporting areas, by age, 55.1% of adolescents aged <15 years and 71.5% of adolescents aged 15–19 years obtained an abortion at ≤9 weeks’ gestation, compared with ≥76.8% among age groups aged ≥20 years. Conversely, 21.7% of adolescents aged <15 years and 10.3% of adolescents aged 15–19 years obtained an abortion after 13 weeks’ gestation, compared with 7.3%–8.0% for women in older age groups. In 30 reporting areas, by race/ethnicity, 73.3% of non-Hispanic Black women obtained an abortion at ≤9 weeks’ gestation, compared with 79.6%–81.5% of women from other racial/ethnic groups. Differences in abortions after 13 weeks’ gestation across race/ethnicity were minimal (8.8% for non-Hispanic Black women, compared with 6.5%–8.1% for women in the remaining racial/ethnic groups). * The annual number of deaths related to legal induced abortion has fluctuated from year to year since 1973. Because of this variability and the relatively limited number of deaths related to legal induced abortions every year, national legal abortion case-fatality rates were calculated for consecutive 5-year periods during 1973–2017. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2013–2017 was 0.44 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal abortions. This case-fatality rate was lower than the rates for the preceding 5-year periods. * For 2018, a total of 619,591 abortions were reported to CDC by 49 areas. Of these reporting areas, 48 submitted data every year for 2009–2018, thus providing the information necessary for consistently reporting trends. Among these 48 areas, for 2018, the abortion rate was 11.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 189 abortions per 1,000 live births. Although the rate of reported abortions declined overall from 2009 to 2018, from 2017 to 2018, the number and rate of reported abortions increased 1%, and the abortion ratio increased 2%. * Among areas that reported data continuously by age from 2009 to 2018, women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions and had the highest abortion rates, whereas adolescents aged ≤19 years had the lowest abortion rates. During 2009–2018, women aged ≥40 years accounted for a relatively small proportion of reported abortions (≤3.7%). However, the abortion ratio among women aged ≥40 years continues to be higher than among women aged 25–39 years. These data underscore important age differences in abortion measures. * The adolescent abortion trends described in this report are important for monitoring progress that has been made toward reducing adolescent pregnancies in the United States. From 2009 to 2018, national birth data indicate that the birth rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased 54% (44,55), and the data in this report indicate that the abortion rate for the same age group decreased 55%. These findings highlight that decreases in adolescent births in the United States have been accompanied by large decreases in adolescent abortions. * As in previous years, abortion rates and ratios differ across racial/ethnic groups. For example, in 2018, compared with non-Hispanic White women, abortion rates and ratios were 3.4 and 3.0 times higher among non-Hispanic Black women and 1.7 and 1.4 times higher among Hispanic women. Similar differences have been demonstrated in other U.S.-based research. The comparatively higher abortion rates and ratios among non-Hispanic Black women have been attributed to higher unintended pregnancy rates and a greater percentage of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion in this group. The complex factors contributing to differences to ensure equitable access to quality family planning services need to be identified. * In 2018, the majority of abortions occurred early in gestation (≤9 weeks), when the risks for complications are lowest. In addition, over the last 10 years, approximately three fourths of abortions were performed at ≤9 weeks’ gestation, and this percentage increased from 74.2% in 2009 to 76.2% in 2018. Moreover, among the areas that reported abortions at ≤13 weeks’ gestation by individual week, the distribution of abortions by gestational age continued to shift toward earlier weeks of gestation, with the percentage of early abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increasing from 33.6% in 2009 to 36.2% in 2018. <br> From 2009 to 2018, the percentage of abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation did not change appreciably, remaining at ≤9.0%. Previous research indicates that the distribution of abortions by gestational age differs by various sociodemographic characteristics. In this report, the percentage of adolescents aged ≤19 years who obtained abortions at >13 weeks’ gestation was higher than the percentage of women in older age groups who obtained abortions. Multiple factors might influence the gestational age when abortions are performed. <br> The trend of obtaining abortions earlier in pregnancy has been facilitated by changes in abortion practices. Research conducted in the United States during the 1970s indicated that surgical abortion procedures performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation, compared with 7–12 weeks’ gestation, were less likely to result in successful termination of the pregnancy. However, subsequent advances in technology (e.g., improved transvaginal ultrasonography and sensitivity of pregnancy tests) have allowed very early surgical abortions to be performed with completion rates exceeding 97%. Likewise, the development of early medical abortion regimens has allowed for abortions to be performed early in gestation, with completion rates for regimens that combine mifepristone and misoprostol reaching 96%–98%. In 2018, 77.7% of all reported abortions were ≤9 weeks’ gestation thus were eligible for early medical abortion; of these, 50.0% were reported as medical abortions. Moreover, among areas that included medical abortion on their reporting form, the percentage of all abortions performed by early medical abortion increased 120% from 2009 to 2018. * The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2013–2017 was fewer than 1 per 100,000 abortions, as it was for all the previous 5-year periods since the late 1970s, demonstrating the low risk for death associated with legal induced abortion. * Ongoing surveillance of legal induced abortion is important for several reasons. First, abortion surveillance can be used to help evaluate programs aimed at preventing unintended pregnancies. Although pregnancy intentions can be difficult to assess, abortion surveillance provides an important indicator of unintended pregnancies because up to 42% of unintended pregnancies in the United States end in abortion. Efforts to help women avoid unintended pregnancies might reduce the number of abortions. Second, routine abortion surveillance is needed to assess trends in clinical practice patterns over time. Information in this report on the number of abortions performed through different methods (e.g., medical or surgical) and at different gestational ages provides the denominator data that are necessary for analyses of the relative safety of abortion practices. Finally, information on the number of pregnancies ending in abortion is needed in conjunction with data on births and fetal losses to estimate the number of pregnancies in the United States and determine rates for various outcomes of public health importance (e.g., adolescent pregnancies). * Approximately 18% of all pregnancies in the United States end in induced abortion. Multiple factors influence the incidence of abortion, including access to health care services and contraception; the availability of abortion providers; state regulations, such as mandatory waiting periods, parental involvement laws, and legal restrictions on abortion providers; increasing acceptance of nonmarital childbearing; and changes in the economy and the resulting impact on fertility and contraceptive use. === "Supreme Court declines to hear Kentucky ultrasound law" (December 9, 2019) === <small> John Kruzel, [https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/473642-supreme-court-declines-to-hear-kentucky-ultrasound-law/ "Supreme Court declines to hear Kentucky ultrasound law"]. “The Hill”, December 9, 2019. </small> * The Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge to a Kentucky law that obligates doctors to show and describe ultrasounds to women who seek abortions, even if patients object. <br> The justices’ decision not to take up the case leaves intact a federal appeals court ruling that upheld the law against a First Amendment challenge that claimed the measure abridged doctors’ freedom of speech. <br> The Kentucky Ultrasound Informed Consent Act requires physicians, prior to an abortion, to perform an ultrasound, describe and display its images to the patient, and make the fetal heartbeat audible. * The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which brought the case on behalf of the challengers, lamented the justices’ denial of review. <br> “This law is not only unconstitutional, but as leading medical experts and ethicists explained, deeply unethical,” said Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, senior staff attorney at the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. “We are extremely disappointed that the Supreme Court will allow this blatant violation of the First Amendment and fundamental medical ethics to stand.” * The anti-abortion nonprofit group Students for Life, meanwhile, celebrated the petition denial as a win for the pro-life movement. <br> “This is another pro-life law that will be allowed to stand and will help protect preborn babies from abortion,” the group said via Twitter. === "Abortion Surveillance --- United States, 2000" (2003) === <small> Laurie D.

Retrieved October 2, 2013. </small> * Results: A total of 857,475 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC for 2000 from 49 reporting areas, representing a 0.5% decrease from the 861,789 legal induced abortions reported by 48 reporting areas for 1999 and a 1.3% decrease for the same 48 reporting areas that reported in 1999. The abortion ratio, defined as the number of abortions per 1,000 live births, was 246 in 2000 (for the same 48 reporting areas as 1999), compared with 256 reported for 1999. This represents a 3.8% decline in the abortion ratio. The abortion rate (for the same 48 reporting areas as 1999) was 16 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years for 2000. This was also a 3.8% decrease from the rate reported for procedures performed during 1997--1999 for the same 48 reporting areas. <br> The highest percentages of reported abortions were for women aged <25 years (52%), women who were white (57%), and unmarried women (81%). Fifty-eight percent of all abortions for which gestational age was reported were performed at <8 weeks of gestation, and 88% were performed before 13 weeks. From 1992 (when detailed data regarding early abortions were first collected) through 2000, steady increases have occurred in the percentage of abortions performed at <6 weeks of gestation. Few abortions were performed after 15 weeks of gestation; 4.3% were obtained at 16--20 weeks and 1.4% were obtained at >21 weeks. A total of 31 reporting areas submitted data stating that they performed medical (nonsurgical) procedures, making up 1.0% of all reported procedures from the 42 areas with adequate reporting on type of procedure. <br> In 1998 and 1999 (the most recent years for which data are available), 14 women died as a result of complications from known legal induced abortion. Ten of these deaths occurred in 1998 and four occurred in 1999; no deaths were associated with known illegal abortion. * Interpretation: From 1990 through 1997, the number of legal induced abortions gradually declined. In 1998 and 1999, the number of abortions continued to decrease when comparing the same 48 reporting areas. In 2000, even with one additional reporting state, the number of abortions declined slightly. In 1998 and 1999, as in previous years, deaths related to legal induced abortions occurred rarely (<1 death per 100,000 abortions). * For 2000, CDC compiled data that were voluntarily provided from 49 reporting areas in the United States: 47 states (excluding Alaska, California, and New Hampshire), the District of Columbia, and New York City. Legal induced abortion was defined as a procedure, performed by a licensed physician or someone acting under the supervision of a licensed physician, that was intended to terminate a suspected or known intrauterine pregnancy and to produce a nonviable fetus at any gestational age (1,2). The total number of legal induced abortions was available from all reporting areas; however, not all of these areas collected data regarding some or all of the characteristics of women who obtained abortions. Thus, the availability of data on characteristics of women obtaining an abortion varied by reporting area in 2000. <br> Most reporting areas (46 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City) collected and reported adequate data (i.e., data categorized in accordance with surveillance variables and with <15% unknown values) by age of the woman, whereas only 29 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City collected and reported adequate data by Hispanic ethnicity. * This report provides overall and state-specific abortion statistics. For all characteristics for which birth or population data were available, abortion ratios (number of abortions per 1,000 live births) or abortion rates (number of abortions per 1,000 women in a given age group) are provided. Starting with 1996, abortion ratios were calculated by using the number of live births to residents of each area, from birth data reported to CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS); numbers had previously been received from state health departments. The population data used for calculating abortion rates had previously been obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau postcensual data. However, because of the impact of changes in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) standards in 1997 that allowed for multiple race selections on the 2000 Census, no population data were released by the Census Bureau. NCHS bridged race and ethnicity data were used for calculating abortion rates; this involves a model that translates multiple race responses for an individual into the one, single response that the model predicts the individual most likely would have reported under the 1977 OMB standards. * Case-fatality rates for 1972--1997 are provided in this report. Case-fatality rates for 1998--1999 cannot be calculated because a substantial number of abortions occurred in the four nonreporting states, and the total number of abortions (the denominator) is unknown. * Overall, the annual number of legal induced abortions in the United States increased gradually until it peaked in 1990, and it has declined in most years thereafter (Figure 1). In 2000, a total of 857,475 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC by 49 reporting areas. This represents a 0.5% decrease from 1999, for which 861,789 legal induced abortions were reported from 48 reporting areas (Table 1) and a 1.3% decrease in the same 48 reporting areas as 1999. <br> The national legal induced abortion ratio increased from 196 per 1,000 live births in 1973 (the first year that 52 areas reported) to 358 per 1,000 live births in 1979 and remained nearly stable through 1981 (Figure 1) (Table 2). The ratio peaked at 364 per 1,000 live births in 1984 and since then has shown a nearly steady decline. In 2000, the abortion ratio was 245 per 1,000 live births in 49 reporting areas and 246 for the same 48 reporting areas available for 1999. This represents a 3.8% decrease from 1999 (256 per 1,000 live births) for the 48 reporting areas (Table 2) (6). <br> The national legal induced abortion rate increased from 14 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years in 1973 to 25 per 1,000 in 1980. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the rate remained stable at 23--24 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years, and during 1994--1997 it again stabilized at 20--21. The abortion rate remained unchanged at 17 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years from 1997 through 1999 in the same 48 reporting areas. In 2000, the abortion rate declined to 16 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years (overall and in the same 48 reporting areas as 1999). * The numbers, ratios, and rates of reported legal induced abortions are presented by area of residence as well as by area of occurrence. In 2000, the highest numbers of reported legal induced abortions occurred in New York City (94,466), Florida (88,563), and Texas (76,121); the fewest† occurred in Idaho (801), South Dakota (878), and North Dakota (1,341) (Table 3). The abortion ratios by state or area of occurrence ranged from 39 per 1,000 live births in Idaho to 869 per 1,000 live births in the District of Columbia. The rates by occurrence ranged from 3 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years in Idaho to 46 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years in the District of Columbia. These ratios and rates should be viewed with consideration of the sizable variation by state in the percentage of abortions obtained by out-of-state residents. In 2000, approximately 9% of reported abortions were obtained by out-of-state residents. The percentages ranged from 0.4% in Hawaii to 56% in the District of Columbia (Table 3). Data by state of residence are incomplete because three states (Alaska, California, and New Hampshire) did not report and five states (Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, and Massachusetts) did not provide any data concerning the residence status of all women obtaining abortions in their state. * Women aged 20--24 years were known to have obtained 33% of all abortions for which age was adequately reported. Women aged <15 years were known to have obtained <1.0% of all abortions in areas where age was reported (Table 4). Abortion ratios were highest for the youngest women (708 abortions per 1,000 live births for women aged <15 years) and lowest for women aged 30--34 years (145 per 1,000 live births) (Figure 2) (Table 4). In contrast to abortion ratios, among women for whom age was reported, abortion rates were highest for women aged 20--24 years (33 abortions per 1,000 women) and lowest for women at the extremes of reproductive age (2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 13--14 years and 2 per 1,000 women aged 40--44 years) (Table 4). Among adolescents (aged <20 years), the percentage of abortions obtained increased with increasing age. However, the abortion ratio was highest for those <15 years (701 abortions per 1,000 live births)§ and lowest for those aged 19 years (324 per 1,000 live births) (Table 5). Conversely, the rates of abortions were lowest for adolescents aged <15 years (2 per 1,000 women aged 13--14 years) and highest for women age 19 (29 per 1,000 women aged 19 years) (Table 5). * Abortion trends by age indicate that since 1973, abortion ratios for women aged <15 years have been higher than for any other age group (Figure 3). For women aged <19 years and those aged >40 years, the abortion ratio increased overall from 1974 through the early 1980s and declined thereafter (Figure 3). The abortion ratio for women aged 20--34 years (the groups with the highest fertility rates) (7) has remained essentially stable since the mid-1980s. The abortion ratio for women aged 35--39 years has gradually declined over time. <br> In 2000, for women whose weeks of gestation at the time of abortion were adequately reported, 57% of reported legal induced abortions were known to have been obtained at <8 weeks of gestation, and 87% at <13 weeks (Table 6). Overall, 23% of abortions were known to have been performed at <6 weeks of gestation, 18% at 7 weeks, and 17% at 8 weeks (Table 7). Few reported abortions occurred after 15 weeks of gestation; 4.3% were at 16--20 weeks, and 1.4% were at >21 weeks. * For women whose type of procedure was adequately reported, almost all (97%) abortions were known to have been performed by curettage and 0.4% by intrauterine instillation (Table 8). Hysterectomy and hysterotomy were included in the "other" procedure category and were known to have been used in fewer than 0.01% of all abortions. Thirty-one reporting areas submitted data stating that they performed medical (nonsurgical) procedures,¶ hereafter referred to as medical abortions. Medical abortions make up approximately 1% of all procedures reported from the 42 areas with adequate reporting on type of procedure. However, three areas included medical abortions in the "other" category because data for medical abortions are not collected as a separate category on their abortion reporting form. For 2000, a total of 6,895 medical abortion procedures were submitted by the 28 reporting areas that reported medical abortions separately. This reflects an increase of 10% from the 6,278 medical abortions reported by 26 reporting areas for 1999 (6). We do not know to what extent the 6,895 medical abortions reported to CDC for 2000 represent the use of this procedure in all reporting areas. * In the 41 areas for which race was adequately reported, approximately 55% of women who obtained legal induced abortions were known to be white, 35% were black, and 7% were of other races; for 3% of the women, race was unknown. (Table 9). The abortion ratio for black women (503 per 1,000 live births) was 3.0 times the ratio for white women (167 per 1,000 live births). Additionally, the abortion ratio for women of other races (329 per 1,000 live births) was 2.0 times the ratio for white women. The abortion rate for black women (30 per 1,000 women) was 3.1 times the rate for white women (10 per 1,000 women), whereas the abortion rate for women of other races (22 per 1,000 women) was 2.2 times the rate for white women. * In the 41 areas for which race was adequately reported, approximately 55% of women who obtained legal induced abortions were known to be white, 35% were black, and 7% were of other races; for 3% of the women, race was unknown. (Table 9). The abortion ratio for black women (503 per 1,000 live births) was 3.0 times the ratio for white women (167 per 1,000 live births). Additionally, the abortion ratio for women of other races (329 per 1,000 live births) was 2.0 times the ratio for white women. The abortion rate for black women (30 per 1,000 women) was 3.1 times the rate for white women (10 per 1,000 women), whereas the abortion rate for women of other races (22 per 1,000 women) was 2.2 times the rate for white women. <br> Twenty-nine states, the District of Columbia, and New York City reported adequate data** concerning the ethnicity of women who obtained legal induced abortions (Table 10). The percentage of abortions known to have been obtained by Hispanic women in these reporting areas was 17% overall and ranged from <0.1% in Kentucky to 46% in New Mexico. For Hispanic women in these reporting areas, the abortion ratio was 225 per 1,000 live births. The abortion rate for Hispanic women was 16 abortions per 1,000 women. <br> For women whose marital status was adequately reported, 78% of women who obtained abortions were known to be unmarried (Table 11). The abortion ratio for unmarried women was 8.8 times the ratio for married women (570 versus 65 abortions per 1,000 live births). <br> For women for whom data on previous live births was adequately reported, 39% of women who obtained legal induced abortions were known to have had no previous live births, and 86% had had two or fewer previous live births (Table 12). The abortion ratio was highest for women who had three previous live births (285 per 1,000 live births) and lowest for women who had one previous live birth (194 per 1,000 live births). <br> In 2000, of women who obtained an abortion and whose number of previous abortions was adequately reported, 53% were reported to have obtained an abortion for the first time. Eighteen percent of women were reported to have had two or more previous abortions (Table 13). * As in the past, approximately 88% of all abortions (for which gestational age at the time of abortion was reported adequately) were obtained during the first 12 weeks of gestation (Table 1). The percentage of women who obtained an abortion at <8 weeks of gestation increased with age, with the exception of women aged 35--39 years (Figure 4) (Table 16). This association is most pronounced for abortions obtained at <6 weeks' gestation (Table 17). The percentage of women who obtained an abortion at >21 weeks of gestation decreased with age for women through 25--29 years. Among women with adequately reported race and weeks of gestation, white women and women of other races were more likely than black women to obtain abortions at <6 or 7 weeks of gestation (Table 17). Among women with adequately reported known ethnicity and weeks of gestation, 25% of Hispanic women obtained abortions at <6 weeks of gestation and 59% obtained abortions at <8 weeks' gestation. This is slightly more than the 57% of non-Hispanic women who obtained abortions at <8 weeks' gestation (Table 17). <br> For women whose type of procedure and weeks of gestation were adequately reported, approximately 99% of reported abortions obtained at <15 weeks of gestation were performed by using curettage (primarily suction procedures) (Table 18). Approximately 88% of the 6,229 reported medical abortions were performed at <8 weeks' gestation, representing 1.6% of all abortions that were performed at <8 weeks' gestation. At >16 weeks of gestation, medical abortions (n = 559) also made up 1.6% of all abortions. Medical abortions constituted <0.1% of procedures performed in the 9--15-weeks gestation range. Intrauterine instillation involved the use of saline or prostaglandin and was used rarely (0.3% of all abortions), primarily at >16 weeks of gestation. * From the National Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System, CDC identified 22 maternal deaths for 1998 and 17 maternal deaths for 1999 that were thought to be potentially related to abortion. These maternal deaths were identified either by some indication of abortion on the death certificate or from information such as a news report associated with the death. Investigation of these cases showed that 10 of the 22 deaths in 1998 and four of the 17 deaths in 1999 were related to legal induced abortion and none to illegal induced abortion (Table 19). For 1998, 11 deaths were due to spontaneous abortion, and one death was found not to be abortion related. For 1999, 10 deaths were due to spontaneous abortion, and three deaths were found not to be abortion related. Numbers of deaths due to legal induced abortion were highest before the 1980s, with very few deaths occurring in 1999 (Table 19). Possible abortion-related deaths that occurred during 2000--2002 are currently being investigated. * A total of 857,475 legal induced abortions were reported for 2000 in the United States from 47 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City. This is a decline of 0.5% from the legal induced abortions reported for 1999 from 48 reporting areas. A decline of 1.3% in the number of abortions is seen when the same 48 reporting areas from 1999 are compared with those for 2000. Before 1998, a substantial number of legal induced abortions were estimated to have been performed in California (e.g., >23% of the U.S. total in 1997). Beginning in 1998, data were no longer estimated for nonreporting states. The lack of data for California for 2000 explains most of the 28% decrease from the annual number of abortions reported in 1997 as well as a portion of the decrease in the total ratio and rate. * Overall, abortion ratios and abortion rates have declined over time (Figure 1). The abortion ratio for 2000 (246 per 1,000 live births for the same 48 reporting areas as 1999) was a 3.8% decline from the previous year. The abortion rate (16 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years for the same 48 reporting areas as 1999) was also a decline of 3.8% from the rate reported in 1999. The overall declines in the abortion ratio and rate over time may reflect multiple factors, including a decrease in the number of unintended pregnancies; a shift in the age distribution of women toward the older and less fertile ages; reduced or limited access to abortion services, including the passage of abortion laws that affect adolescents (e.g., parental consent or notification laws and mandatory waiting periods); and changes in contraceptive practices, including an increased use of contraception, such as condoms, and, among young women, of long-acting hormonal contraceptive methods that were introduced in the early 1990s. <br> The abortion rate reported here for the United States was higher than recent rates reported for Canada and Western European countries and lower than rates reported for China, Cuba, most Eastern European countries, and several of the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union. * As in previous years, the abortion ratio in 2000 varied substantially by age. Although the abortion ratio was highest for adolescents in 2000, the ratio has gradually declined for women aged <15 and 15--19 years since the mid 1980s. Other studies also have indicated a decrease in birth rates for women aged 15--19 years during 1991--2000 and a decrease in adolescent pregnancy rates 1991--1997. * The percentage distribution of abortions by known weeks of gestation has shifted slightly since the late 1970s. From 1992 (when detailed data on early abortions were first available) through 2000, data have indicated steady increases in procedures performed at <6 weeks' gestation with decreases occurring in the percentage of abortions performed at 8, 9--10, and 11--12 weeks' gestation. The increase in the percentage of abortions known to have been performed at <6 weeks may be related to an increase in availability of early abortion services since 1992 as well as to an increase in medical and surgical procedures that can be performed early in gestation. Abortions performed early in pregnancy are associated with lower risks of mortality and morbidity. The proportions of abortions performed later in pregnancy (>13 weeks) have varied very little since 1992. The gestational age at which an abortion is obtained can be influenced by several factors in addition to those for which surveillance data are available (age of the woman, race, marital status). These additional factors include level of education, availability and accessibility of abortion services, timing of confirmation of pregnancy, timing of personal decision-making, timing of prenatal diagnosis, level of fear of discovery of pregnancy, and denial of the pregnancy. * Since the mid-1990s, two medical regimens --- methotrexate and mifepristone, each used in conjunction with misoprostol --- have been tested in clinical trials and used by clinical practitioners to perform early medical abortions. CDC surveillance data indicate that >50% of all U.S. abortions are performed at <8 weeks of gestation, which is the timing of the regimen approved for both mifepristone and methotrexate. The medical procedures reported most often for abortions performed early in gestation (<7 weeks) are use of methotrexate with misoprostol and mifepristone with misoprosto. Mifepristone for medical abortion was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use and distribution in the United States in September 2000. This approval might result in early medical abortions becoming more widespread (37,38). The FDA-approved protocol can be initiated up to 49 days of gestation and requires three office visits by the patient: administration of oral mifepristone, administration 48 hours later of oral misoprostol in the health care provider's office, and a follow-up visit in approximately 14 days. Clinical studies of alternative medical abortion regimens have been performed in various countries and are ongoing. * The percentage of abortions known to be performed by curettage (which includes dilatation and evacuation [D&E]) increased from 88% in 1973 to 98% in 2000, while the percentage of abortions performed by intrauterine instillation declined sharply, from 10% to 0.4%. The increase in use of D&E is likely due to the lower risk for complications associated with the procedure (48,49). The percentage of abortions performed by D&E (curettage) at >13 weeks' gestation increased from 31% in 1974 (the first year for which these data were available) to 96% in 2000; the percentage of abortions performed by intrauterine instillation at >13 weeks' gestation decreased from 57% to 1.7%. * The differential between the abortion ratio for black women and that for white women has increased from 2.0 in 1989 (the first year for which black and other races were reported separately) to 3.0 in 2000. In addition, the abortion rate for black women has been approximately 3 times as high as that for white women (range: 2.6--3.1) since 1991 (the first year for which rates by race were published) (52). These rates by race are substantially lower than rates previously published by NCHS and suggest that the reporting areas for the 2000 report might not be fully representative of the U.S. black female population of reproductive age. Census Bureau estimates and birth certificate data indicate that the large majority of Hispanic women report themselves as white. Therefore, data for some white women actually represent Hispanic women. * In 2000, 41 states, the District of Columbia and New York City reported Hispanic ethnicity of women who obtained abortions. Because of concerns regarding the completeness of such data (>15% unknown data) in certain states, in 2000, data from only 29 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City were used to determine the number and percentage of abortions obtained by women of Hispanic ethnicity. These geographic areas represent approximately 46% of all reproductive-age Hispanic women in the United States for 2000 and approximately 47% of U.S. Hispanic births. Thus, the number of Hispanic women who obtain abortions is underestimated, and the number, ratio, and rate of abortions for Hispanic women in this report are not generalizable to the overall Hispanic population in the United States. <br> The abortion ratio for Hispanic women (225 per 1,000 live births) was lower than the ratio for non-Hispanic women (233 per 1,000 live births). This differs from the findings for abortions performed in 1999 and reflects a return to the previously observed pattern among Hispanic women of slightly lower or similar ratios to those for non-Hispanic women. As in the past, the abortion rate per 1,000 Hispanic women was higher than the rate per 1,000 non-Hispanic women. This finding is consistent with another study but differs substantially from abortion rates by ethnicity that were published previously by NCHS. The differences are likely due to the method used to account for underreporting of abortions by adjusting CDC tabulations to national totals. This finding also suggests that the reporting areas for the 2000 report are not fully representative of the U.S. Hispanic female population of reproductive age. Race-specific and ethnicity-specific differences in legal induced abortion ratios and rates might reflect differences among groups in factors such as socioeconomic status, access to family planning and contraceptive services, contraceptive use, and incidence of unintended pregnancies. * Compared with 1972, the annual number of deaths associated with known legal induced abortion in the late 1990s has decreased by approximately 70%. In 1972, 24 women died from causes known to be associated with legal abortions and 39 died as a result of known illegal abortions. In 1999, four died as a result of legal induced abortion and none died as a result of illegal induced abortion. Numbers of legal, induced abortion-related deaths for 1998 and 1999, identified for all 52 reporting areas, are similar to those reported over the previous 18 years. However, national case-fatality rates for 1998 and 1999 cannot be calculated because a substantial number of abortions occurred in four nonreporting states, and the total number of abortions (the denominator) is unknown. * Despite these limitations, findings from ongoing national surveillance of legal induced abortion are useful for several purposes. First, public health agencies use data from abortion surveillance to identify characteristics of women who are at high risk for unintended pregnancy. Second, ongoing annual surveillance is used to monitor trends in the number, ratio, and rate of abortions in the United States. Third, statistics regarding the number of pregnancies ending in abortion are used in conjunction with birth data and fetal death computations to estimate pregnancy rates (e.g., pregnancy rates among adolescents). Fourth, abortion and pregnancy rates can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of family planning programs and programs for preventing unintended pregnancy. Fifth, ongoing surveillance provides data for assessing changes in clinical practice patterns related to abortion (e.g., longitudinal changes in the types of procedures and trends in weeks of gestation at the time of abortion). Finally, numbers of abortions are used as the denominator in calculating abortion mortality rates (29). * A reduction in unintended pregnancy, and thus abortion, will require several complex strategies. In a study of abortion patients conducted during 2000--2001, 54% of patients reported that they were using contraception during the month they became pregnant. However, their use of contraception might have been inconsistent or incorrect (18). In 1995, when the most recent NSFG was conducted, approximately 29% of sexually active U.S. women who used only oral contraceptives for birth control reported that they missed a birth-control pill one or more times during the 3 months before their NSFG interview. In addition, approximately 33% of U.S. women who were using only coitus-dependent contraceptive methods†† during the 3 months before the interview used these methods inconsistently (9). Not all health insurance plans provide contraceptive benefits. Therefore, education regarding abstinence, contraceptive use and practices as well as access to and education regarding safe, effective, and affordable contraception and family-planning services might help reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy and, therefore, the number of legal induced abortions in the United States. === "Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Abortion Restrictions" (June 29, 2020) === <small> Liptak, Adam (June 29, 2020). [https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/us/supreme-court-abortion-louisiana.html "Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Abortion Restrictions"]. The New York Times. (Published June 29, 2020Updated May 17, 2021) </small> * WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a Louisiana law that could have left the state with a single abortion clinic, dashing the hopes of conservatives who were counting on President Trump’s appointments to lead the court to sustain restrictions on abortion rights and, eventually, to overrule Roe v. Wade. <br> Instead, conservatives suffered a setback, and from an unlikely source. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. added his crucial fifth vote to those of the court’s four-member liberal wing, saying that respect for precedent compelled him to do so, even though he had voted to uphold an essentially identical Texas law in a 2016 dissent. * Conservatives reacted with fury. “Chief Justice Roberts is at it again with his political gamesmanship,” Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, said on Twitter. “This time he has sided with abortion extremists who care more about providing abortion-on-demand than protecting women’s health.” <br> Progressive groups countered that the court’s decision was a routine application of precedent. <br> “Today’s ruling, while incredibly important, should not be surprising,” Elizabeth Wydra, the president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, a liberal group, said in a statement. “In fact, this case should have been one of the easiest for the court to dispose of this term.” <br> “This was really just ‘Supreme Court 101’ for all nine of the justices,” she said, “but only five of them were prepared to show fidelity to law and precedent instead of politics.” * Justice Stephen G. Breyer, writing for the four liberals who joined with the chief justice in the majority, said the Louisiana law was “almost word-for-word identical” to the one from Texas that the Supreme Court struck down in the 2016 decision, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. <br> Both laws required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. And in both cases, Justice Breyer wrote, the laws put an undue burden on the constitutional right to the procedure. <br> The court’s decision to revisit the issue of admissions privileges had worried proponents of abortion rights given Chief Justice Roberts’s support for the Texas law. Since that ruling, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who had voted to overturn the law, was replaced by the more conservative Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. <br> But in the end, Chief Justice Roberts’s commitment to precedent sank the Louisiana law. “I joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health,” he wrote on Monday, “and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today, however, is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.” <br> “The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons,” the chief justice wrote in a concurring opinion that did not adopt Justice Breyer’s reasoning. “Therefore Louisiana’s law cannot stand under our precedents.” * Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, expressed disappointment in Monday’s decision. <br> “In an unfortunate ruling today,” she said in a statement, “the Supreme Court devalued both the health of mothers and the lives of unborn children by gutting Louisiana’s policy that required all abortion procedures be performed by individuals with admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.” <br> Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, issued a statement saying that “women’s health care rights have been under attack as states across the country have passed extreme laws restricting women’s constitutional right to choice under any circumstance.” <br> Justice Breyer wrote that the Louisiana law, which was enacted in 2014, imposed great burdens on access to abortion but did nothing to protect women’s health, its ostensible goal. He wrote that hospitalizations after abortions were rare, that women would receive medical care at hospitals whether their doctors had admitting privileges or not and that abortion providers were often unable to obtain admitting privileges for reasons unrelated to their competence. === A Major Ruling on Abortion (June 30, 2020) === <small> Adam Liptak in ‘The Daily’ “The New York Times”, (June 30): A Major Ruling on Abortion, hosted by Michael Barbaro; produced by Luke Vander Ploeg and Michael Simon Johnson; with help from Asthaa Chaturvedi; and edited by M.J. Davis Lin; as quoted in Liptak, Adam (June 29, 2020). [https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/us/supreme-court-abortion-louisiana.html "Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Abortion Restrictions"]. The New York Times. (Published June 29, 2020Updated May 17, 2021) </small> *'''Michael Barbaro''': Adam, we have talked about admitting privileges for doctors who performed abortions in the past. But as a reminder, what is the idea behind them? :'''Adam Liptak''': It’s a kind of business relationship between a doctor and a hospital. It allows doctors to admit and care for their patients at given hospitals. Supporters of admitting privileges laws say that it’s a kind of credentialing function, that you are likely to be a slightly better doctor if a nearby hospital kind of vouches for you by giving you admitting privileges. Opponents of admitting privileges laws say they’re a bit of a scam, that abortion is very safe. If you do have to go to a hospital, they say you’re going to be admitted, whether you have a doctor with admitting privileges or not. *'''Adam Liptak''': Well, what would have been really striking in Louisiana is what would have happened if the case went the other way. Louisiana currently has three abortion clinics. That would have gone to one. And it currently has about five doctors who are willing to provide abortion. And that also would apparently have gone to one. So it would have required every woman in the state to travel to New Orleans to get abortions. And it’s not clear that that clinic would have had the capacity to serve those women, even if they could make what, in some instances, would be a very long drive — five hours each way — and do it twice. Because Louisiana also has a law requiring a waiting period between the initial consultation and the procedure itself. === "Roe v. Wade at 40: Most Oppose Overturning Abortion Decision" (January 16, 2013) === <small> Joseph Liu, [https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/01/16/roe-v-wade-at-40/ "Roe v. Wade at 40: Most Oppose Overturning Abortion Decision"]. Pewresearch.org, (January 16, 2013). </small> * The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Jan. 9-13 among 1,502 adults, finds that abortion is viewed as a less important issue than in the past. Currently, 53% say abortion “is not that important compared to other issues,” up from 48% in 2009 and 32% in 2006. The percentage viewing abortion as a “critical issue facing the country” fell from 28% in 2006 to 15% in 2009 and now stands at 18%. <br> However, the public continues to be divided over whether it is morally acceptable to have an abortion. Nearly half (47%) say it is morally wrong to have an abortion, while just 13% find this morally acceptable; 27% say this is not a moral issue and 9% volunteer that it depends on the situation. These opinions have changed little since 2006. *Slightly more than half of adults (53%) say that abortion is not that important compared with other issues. About a quarter (27%) say abortion is one among many important issues facing the country, while 18% view abortion as a critical issue. *Nearly three-in-ten white evangelical Protestants (29%) view the issue of abortion as critical, compared with just 13% of white mainline Protestants and white Catholics. Majorities of white mainline Protestants (61%) and white Catholics (59%) say abortion is not that important compared with other issues. An even higher percentage of religiously unaffiliated Americans (71%) say abortion is relatively unimportant. <br> Nearly half of Americans (47%) say they personally believe that it is morally wrong to have an abortion, compared with 27% who say it is not a moral issue, 13% who find it morally acceptable and 9% who volunteer that it depends. These opinions have changed only modestly in recent years. *Most white evangelical Protestants (73%), as well as 55% of white Catholics and 53% of black Protestants, say it is morally wrong to have an abortion. That compares with 36% of white mainline Protestants and just 20% of the religiously unaffiliated. <br> A majority of Republicans (63%) view having an abortion as morally wrong, compared with 45% of independents and 39% of Democrats. <br> Relatively small percentages of people in all religious, partisan and demographic groups say it is morally acceptable to have an abortion. However, nearly half of Democrats say either that having an abortion is morally acceptable (17%) or that it is not a moral issue (31%). Among independents, roughly four-in-ten say it is either morally acceptable (12%) or that abortion is not a moral issue (30%). *The survey finds that 41% say that the Democratic Party can do a better job of representing their views on abortion; nearly as many (36%) say the Republican Party could do better. <br> Last March, the Democratic Party held a 16-point advantage as better representing people’s views on abortion (47% to 31%). In October 2011, the Democrats led by eight points on this issue (44% to 36%). === ”Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood” (1984) === <small> Kristin Luker, [https://books.google.com/books?id=-SZnZTSQV9EC ”Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood”], ''University of California Press'', (1984) </small> * At the opening of the nineteenth century, no statue laws governed abortion in America. What minimal legal regulation existed was inherited from English common law tradition that abortion undertaken before quickening was at worst a misdemeanor. ‘’Quickening’’, as that term was understood in the nineteenth century, was the period in pregnancy when a woman felt fetal movement though it varied from woman to woman (and even from pregnancy to pregnancy in the same woman), it generally occurs between the fourth and the sixth month of pregnancy. Consequently, in nineteenth-century America, as in medieval Europe, first trimester abortions and a goodly number of second trimester abortions as well, faced little legal regulation. Practically speaking, the difficulty of determining when conception had occurred, combined with the fact that the only person who could reliably tell when the pregnancy had “quickened” was the pregnant woman herself, meant that even this minimal regulation was probably infrequent. In 1809, when the Massachusetts state Supreme Court dismissed an indictment for abortion because the prosecution had not reliably proved that the woman was “quick with child,” it was simply reiterating traditional common law standards. <br> In contrast, by 1900 every state in the Union has passed a law forbidding the use of drugs or instruments to procure abortion at ''any'' stage of pregnancy, “unless te same be necessary to save the woman’s life.” Not only were those who performed an abortion liable for a felony (usually manslaughter or second degree homicide), but in many states, the aborted woman herself faced the possibility of criminal prosecution, still another departure from the tolerant common law tradition in existence at the beginning of the century. <br> Many cultural themes and social struggles lie behind the transition from an abortion climate that that was remarkably open and unrestricted to one that restricted abortions (at least in principle) to those necessary to save the life of the mother. The second half of the nineteenth century, when the bulk of American abortion laws were written, saw profound changes in the social order, and these provided the foundation for dramatic changes in the status of abortion Between 1850 and 1900, for example the population changed from one that was primarily rural and agricultural to one that was urban and industrial, and birth rate fell accordingly, declining from an estimated average completed fertility for whites of 7.04 births per woman in 1800 to an average of 3.56 births in 1900. The “great wave” of American immigration occurred in this period, as did the first feminist movement. ** pp.14-15 * The most visible interest group agitating for more restrictive abortion laws was composed of elite or “regular” physicians, who actively petitioned state legislatures to pass anti-abortion laws and undertook through popular writings a campaign to change public opinion on abortion. The efforts of these physicians were probably the single most important influence in bringing about nineteenth-century anti-abortion laws. (Ironically, a century later it would be physicians who would play a central role in overturning these same laws.) ** p.16 * With respect to abortion, as with respect to physicians, modern-day stereotypes about the nineteenth century can easily lead us astray. Contrary to our assumptions about “Victorian morality,” the available evidence suggests that abortions were frequent. To be sure, some of these abortions may have been disguised (or rationalized) by those who sought them. Early in the century, a dominant therapeutic model saw the human body as an “intake-outflow” system and disease as the result of some disturbance in the regular production of secretions. Prominent among medical concerns, therefore, was “blocked” or “obstructed” menstruation, and the nineteenth-century pharmacopoeia contained numerous emmenagogues designed to “bring down the courses,” that is, to reestablish menstruation. However, since the primary cause of “menstrual obstruction” in a health and sexually active woman was probably pregnancy, at least some of these emmenagogues must have been used with the intent to cause an abortion. Especially in the absence of accurate pregnancy tests, these drugs could be used in good faith by physicians and women alike, but the frequent warnings that these same drugs should not be used by “married ladies” because they would cause miscarriage made their alternative uses quite clear. <br> Similarly, newspaper advertisements for patent medicines designed to bring on “suppressed menses” were common during the era; according to a number of sources, such advertisements appeared even in church newspapers. Discreet advertisements for “clinics for ladies” where menstrual irregularities “from whatever cause” could be treated (and where confidentiality and even private off-street entrances were carefully noted in the advertisement itself) were common. ** p.19 * As the noted medical historian Richard Shryock has observed: “One of the most striking and common forms of quack advertising in the United States was that of abortifacient drugs; a fact which seems hardy consistent with out notion of Victorian propriety. . . . The common form of the ‘ads’ was something of this sort: ‘Dr,-‘s Female Pills, one dollar a box, with full discretions. Married ladies should not use them. Sent by mail.’ “ Shryock validates a commonly heard complaint by noting: “Similar announcements and other quack appeals filled not only the daily and weekly papers, but the ‘family newspapers’ and even the religious press.” <br> Aside from the use of these emmenagogues to bring on “delayed” menstruation, various attempts were made during this period to estimate the frequency of induced abortion as we not understand it. These estimates were primarily the work of physicians who wanted to convince the public that abortion was a problem of great magnitude, and so their estimates must be treated cautiously. Nonetheless, estimates from differing sources yield roughly comparable results. An Ohio medical investigation concluded that one-third of all “live births” (sic) ended in induced abortion. Dr. Horatio Storer, one of the most visible anti-abortionists of the era, estimated that there was one abortion for every four pregnancies; a survey of Michigan physicians found between 17 and 34 percent of all pregnancies ending in abortion; and an 1871 American Medical association committee concluded that 20 percent of all pregnancies were deliberately aborted. ** p.19 * This tolerant common-law standard was still in effect in nineteenth century America when state legislatures began to pass the very strict anti-abortion laws that the Supreme Court later overturned in ''Roe v. Wade''. Indeed, as James Mohr writers, “American courts pointedly sustained the most lenient implication of the quickening doctrine even after the British themselves had abandoned them.” <br> I shall return to this point shortly. For the moment, note as well that the Catholic position was still undergoing change. In 1591, Pope Gregory XIV restricted the penalty of excommunication to only those responsible for aborting an animated fetus. Starting in the seventeenth century, however, increasing medical knowledge about reproduction and embryology leg to growing doubts about the doctrine of delayed animation. Fetal growth appeared more and more a continuous matter, with no significant breaks between conception and birth. In 1863, Ferdinand Kember discovered that conception is produced by the male sperm entering the female ovum. Since, in Aristotelian doctrine, the male sperm carries the soul, this discovery implied that ensoulment takes place at conception. Increasingly, the Roman Catholic Church insisted that abortion is gravely wrong at any point after conception. In 1869 Pope Pius IX removed the distinction between animated and unanimated fetuses from the canon law, this providing excommunication for causing abortion at any stage of fetal development. ** p.23 * In the new American nation, because the lenient common-law standard prevailed, the situation at the beginning of the 19th century was quite tolerant regarding abortion. “Consequently” writers Luker, “in nineteenth-century America, as in medieval Europe, first trimester abortions, and a goodly number of second trimester abortions as well, faced little legal regulation” Numerous home medical manuals-frequently written expressly for women-contained information about how to induce abortion, often in the form of advice on how to remove blockages to normal menstrual flow. Among tese were [[w:William Buchanan| William Buchanan]]’s ''Domestic Mediine'' (probably the most widely consulted one; continually reprinted from 1782 through 1850), Samuel K. Henning’s ''Married Lady’s Companion'' (which “had its second printing in 1808 and was intended for women in rural areas”), Joseph Brevitt’s ''Female Medical Repository'' (1810), and Thomas Ewell’ ''Letter to Ladies'' (1817). Ewell was “a surgeon at Navy Hospital in Washington, D.C. . . . , who wrote forthrightly about unblocking obstructed menses.” Like the other books just mentioned, Ewell’s <br> urged hot sitz baths, doses of aloe, and a number of training exercises. Walking, horseback riding, and jumping, the more the better, ll helped bring on abortion, he counseled, especially at the tie menses would normally have occurred had the last period not been missed. Ewell [also[ thought electricity through the thighs might end a suppression [of menstrual flow[ and that light bleeding could be beneficial. To those rather elemental staples Ewell added some medically more advanced ideas including internal douching with trong brandy, water as hot as could be tolerated, vinegar, wine, or strong brine. ** pp.23-24 * In addition to early-nineteenth-century home medical manuals, Americans seeking information about abortifaients, as well as abortion themselves could consults midwives and herbal healers (“so-called Indian doctors”). Mohr speculates that, because of the impossibility of confidently diagnosing pregnancy in its early stage and because of the common acceptance of procedures to treat for amenorrhea (blocks menses), many regular (formally trained or apprentices) physicians performed early abortions. And, says Mohr, “this practice was neither morally nor legally wrong in the eye of the vast majority of Americans, provided it was accomplished before quickening.” Leslie Reagan maintains that both the willingness of physicians (in private) to perform early abortions and the popular view that these abortions were morally acceptable continued throughout the period of legal repression that was to come. ** pp.24-25 * The first American statue concerning abortion was enacted by Connecticut in 1821. Prior to that date, there appears to have been no prosecution of abortion under the common law. The Connecticut statute itself did little more than restate the common-law rule as interpreted by Blackstone, inasmuch as it provided punishment only for abortions performed after quickening. Over the next two decades, seven more states passed abortion laws similar to Connecticut’s. <br> Things began to change in the 1840s. According to Mohr, “Medical writers throughout the period [agreed] unanimously . . . that the incidence of abortion rose dramatically around 1840.” Moreover, abortion became more publicly visible. “During the 1840s, Americans . . . learned for the first time not only that many practitioners would provide abortion services, but that some practitioners had made the abortion business their chief livelihood. Indeed, abortion became one of the first specialties in American medical history[!] The business of selling abortifacient medicines also boomed, as evidenced by the rising number of advertisements for such products as “Madame Restell’s Female Pills,” each said to produce miscarriage, though this advice was sometimes couched as a “warning” to pregnant women not to take the pills. <br> Also starting in the 1840s, there was a change in the social character of abortion, or at least in the perception of its social character. Whereas, prior to this era, abortion had been seen as the recourse of unmarried women desperate to avoid the stigma of unwed motherhood, now it seemed that more married women were resorting to abortion to limit family size. This, at least, was the opinion widely held by regular physicians. Regular physicians also believed that abortion was far more prevalent among Protestant women than among Catholics and, though numerous immigrant abortionists catered to other immigrants, more prevalent among native-born than among immigrant women. Similarly, the medical profession was sure that the practice was growing among middle- and upper-class women, and the relatively high pries of the procedure supply some support for this view. There is demographic evidence of a steep drop in the birthrate for native-born women (as distinct from immigrant women) after 1840, a drop large enough to lead to an overall decline in the birthrate throughout the nation compared to earlier in the century. However, the evidence that this was due to abortion is based largely on the opinions of regular physicians, who were, s we shall see, not disinterested observers. ** pp.25-26 * In 1840, Maine became the first state to clearly prohibit abortion at any stage of pregnancy. It’s statute provided: <br Every person, who shall administer to any woman pregnant with child, ''whether such child be quick or not,'' any medicine, drug or substance whatever, or shall use or employ any instrument or other means whatever, with intent to destroy such a child, and shall thereby destroy such child before its birth, ''unless the same shall have been done as necessary to preserve the life of the mother'', shall be punished by imprisonment in the stae prison, ''not more than five years'', or by fine, not exceeding one thousand dollars, and imprisonment in the county jail, not more than one year. <br> This statute was still in force when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in ''Roe v. Wade'' 113 year later. Note that, though the statute treats abortion as a crime at any time after conception, it does not treat it as equivalent to murder. The penalties are much lighter than those normally provided for murder, and an exception is allowed for abortions needed to save the life of the pregnant woman. Moreover, at least until the 1850s, successful prosecutions for pre-quick abortions under this and similar laws were extremely rare due to the difficulty of proving intent In light of the presumed legitimacy of operations to remove “unnatural obstruction of the menses,” it was necessary to prove that the alleged abortionist intended to abort the fetus rather than only to restore menstrual flow.” <br> New laws, although still relatively lenient, began to be passed in other states In 1845, Massachusetts made attempted abortion a misdemeanor and, if the attempt resulted in the death of the woman, a felony. However, the law was not very effective. “Between 1849 and 1857 there were only thirty-to trials in Massachusetts for performing abortions and not a single conviction.” New York also passed new abortion legislation in 1845 Its law made no reference to quickening and took “the unprecedented step” of making women “liable for seeking and submitting to an abortion or for performing one upon [themselves].” But this provision was never enforced against women in the nineteenth century. Mohr speculates that the aim of the law was to get at commercial abortionists and that the innovation of ending the immunity that women had had under the common law was due to belief that abortion was no longer limited to desperate unmarried women who were unlikely to be deterred by legal threat. <br> Michigan in 1846, Virginia in 1848, and New Hampshire in 1849, made abortion at any stage punishable, nut provided severer penalties if it occurred after quickening. Other states and even federal territories passed anti-abortion statues in the 1850s. The anti-abortion laws passed between 1840 and 1860 were, according to Mohr, “limited and cautious” responses to the increased number and visibility of abortions that characterized the period: “[O]nly three states stuck the immunities traditionally enjoyed by American women in cases of abortion. . . . [A]nd thirteen of the thirty-three states in the Union by 1860 had yet to pass any statutes on the subject of abortion.” Mohr writes, “The advent of more comprehensive and forceful anti-abortion laws throughout the United States still awaited a major campaign. . . on the part of a politically conscious organization with a vested interest in placing . . . less permissive statutes on the books.” ** pp.26-27 * Reformers were becoming more vocal about the problems of criminal abortion at a time when criminal abortion was probably becoming ''less'' lethal to women. Largely because of the increasing use of antibiotic drugs, overall maternal mortality had been steadily declining for many years and had begun to drop dramatically after World War II. For example between 1915, and 1919 there were 727.9 maternal deaths nationwide per 100,000 live births. In 1945, by contrast, there were only 207.2 such death, and by 1960 there were only thirty-seven maternal deaths per 100, 000 live births. ** p.74 * The presence of a strict law satisfied those who wanted to believe that virtually all abortions should be outlawed whereas the much broader interpretation of the law in actual medial practice satisfied those who felt that embryos were only potential persons and that embryonic rights were far less compelling than the rights of mothers. Since the fundamental ideological differences between the two views were hidden from the public ( to be weighed in individual cases by individual doctors), this form of compromise worked reasonably well for many years. <br> It is therefore of great historical importance that in the early 1960s the efforts of the first reform constituency-the persons concerned with the problems of illegal abortion-came to be supported by a more actively involved interest group whose stake in the issue was more direct. This new group prefigured by the two obstetricians who testified at the 1962 hearings, was composed of physicians who saw the ideological consensus within the medical profession breaking down and sought to have explicit new ground rules on abortion spelled out. <br> The consensus was being broken down by several forces. First, and probably foremost, was the improvement in obstetrical science, which by the 1950s had virtually eliminated the need to perform abortions simply in order to save the life of the mother. In California, as elsewhere, abortions were usually undertaken because of psychiatric indications. For reasons outlined in the previous chapter, once the “cover” of strictly medical conditions began to evaporate, physicians began to make abortion decisions that were perceived by their colleagues and the general public alike as less “technical” than moral. ** pp.76-77 * Here is how one physician, who became one of the earliest and most prominent abortion law reformers of the early 1960s, described the situation in the 1950s: <br> I wasn’t really interested in reshaping the law; ‘’I considered what I was doing was acting within the law then.’’ You have to realize we lived in an entirely different legal climate then. . . . There were malpractice, illegal activity, and professional liability aspects, but [they were[ relatively rare. It should have to be that somebody died [in an abortion] under most unusual circumstances. Doctors were not being sued like they are now, but there was always the rumbling in the background- “if the district attorney hears about this, we might be faced with criminal charges.” . . . When we’d consult [our lawyers] and say, “We think this patient should be aborted, but we don’t know if this is life-threatening or not,” they’d say, “Well, you might be sued” You don’t know anything about the disease and its relation to pregnancy. What effect does the pregnancy have on the disease? What effect doe the disease have on the pregnancy? And so we would go ahead on the basis that it was a life-threatening disease or situation. But [such cases] were rare, you might have one or two in the hospital in a year, and it took a great deal of work to accumulate even six or eight cases. But there was always the implication in the background that the district attorney, if he decided to make an issue of this, it could be a legal problem because even the district attorney couldn’t interpret the law. <br> As this statement suggests, the early physician-activists were primarily interested in securing legal backing for what they were already doing. They were in effect already using a “broad construction”” of the law, which they believed was accepted by their colleagues as ethical; they wanted ]their decision-making rights explicitly written into law, just to be on the safe side. ** p.78 * Once there came to be an obvious difference of opinion among physicians about the moral status of abortion rather than the technical grounds for it, the control of abortion was open to new claims. It is not surprising that after one group of physicians (the “broad constructionists”) asked state legislature to make ''some'' changes in the law, other interest groups were encouraged to press their demands. In other words, it is conceivable that the public movement on abortion might never have been successful had physicians not sought to amend the law that gave them the right to control abortion in the first place. Had the medical profession been able to maintain its consensus that abortion was an appropriate enterprise for physicians (and only physicians) and had it not sought legal sanction for one interpretation of the law, non professionals might have had little luck with their claim that abortion was a ''woman’s right''. <br> Perhaps the point can be made in yet another way, by comparing the success of the abortion reform activists with the relative failure of those who claim that control over the experience of childbirth is a woman’s right. Despite considerable public discussion by feminists about the need for women to seize control of labor and delivery, the fact remains that for the overwhelming majority of pregnancies, physicians have the upper hand when it comes to decision-making. Managing pregnancy, birth, and delivery continues to be almost unanimously claimed by the medical profession as a ''technical'' enterprise. However much the physician may wish to please a pregnant woman, the physician can still claim to be the possessor of technical information beyond the ken of the lay person and must therefore be the ultimate decision-maker “for the patient’s own good.” <br> Thus before abortion could become a “women’s issue,” the medical profession had to give up or lose its claim to technical control over abortion. As soon as some physicians were willing to publicly criticize the practice of colleagues on grounds of principle, the legitimate control over abortion by physicians was at an end, an the field was cleared for new contenders. ** pp.109-110 * The rhetoric of liberal physicians in support of the Beilenson bill was a signal to interested groups that physicians were no longer in agreement about their control over abortion and that there was room for change. However much women as a group may have wanted to seek control over abortion, they were largely without influence until they took up the new tactics introduced by groups like SHA across the United States: civil disobedience, public speaking to any group that would listen, and, most important, use of the rhetoric that women had a right to abortion. These tactics transformed the debate. Now women who wanted abortions were no longer victims, a less-than-legitimate group of rule breakers who wanted the rules changed simply because they had “gotten caught.” Rather, they were women who were crusading for a basic civil right-the right of a woman to “own the flesh she stands in,” as one of them had put it. <br> It was of central importance that by the time physicians began to visibly relinquish their control over abortion, SHA’s “consciousness raising” activities throughout the state had created a group of women ready to accept a new “”definition of the situation.” They were no longer interested in simply expanding the legal grounds on which doctors could perform abortions. They wanted to make women, not doctors, the ultimate decision-makers about abortion. ** p.110 === "'Sanctuary city for the unborn': All-male city council in Texas town bans most abortions" (6/13/2019) === <small> Miller, Ryan W.

Wade and laws that permit abortion "unconstitutional usurpations of judicial power ... and are null and void in the City of Waskom.” <br> Before the vote, Mayor Jesse Moore told the city council and residents that the town probably would face a lawsuit for the ordinance but that it couldn't afford to lose the challenge. <br> Moore said he hoped the Supreme Court would use a legal challenge to the declaration to look at Roe v. Wade again. However, it's not clear whether the nation's highest court will take on any case that could potentially reverse the Roe decision. Abortion-rights groups have already filed challenges to recent laws in states such as Alabama and Ohio. * "We decided to take things into our own hands and that we have got to do something to protect our cities and to protect the unborn children," Mark Lee Dickson, director of East Texas Right to Life, said, according to KETK-TV. * Waskom is just a short drive from Shreveport, Louisiana, and Moore said that he feared a Louisiana abortion clinic may want to move to Waskom after the law passed, the Longview (Texas) News-Journal reported. === "The Supreme Court hands down its first anti-abortion decision of the Amy Coney Barrett era" (January 13, 2021) === <small> Millhauser, Ian (January 13, 2021).

Vox. Retrieved January 13, 2021. </small> * On the surface, the Supreme Court’s decision in FDA v. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which was handed down Tuesday evening, is fairly minor. <br> The case involves a Food and Drug Administration requirement that a pill used in medication abortions must be distributed to patients directly by health providers and not by retail or mail-order pharmacies. A lower court temporarily suspended this requirement during the pandemic; the Supreme Court’s decision effectively reinstates the requirement. <br> The Court released no majority opinion, which means that the decision in American College does not explicitly change existing legal doctrine. * Read between the lines, however, and American College warns of a dark future for abortion rights. <br> The premise of pro-abortion rights decisions like Roe v. Wade (1973) is that the Constitution provides special protection to the right to an abortion that it doesn’t provide to other elective medical procedures. Yet, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor explains in dissent, American College effectively rules that a commonly used abortion drug may be regulated more harshly than any other legal medication. <br> Although Chief Justice John Roberts wrote an opinion explaining that he would decide the case on very narrow grounds — holding that courts should defer to public health agencies during the pandemic — no other justice in the majority joined this opinion. * While mifepristone is often taken at home, the Food and Drug Administration only allows the drug to be dispensed at hospitals, clinics, or other medical offices. It is not available at retail or mail-order pharmacies. <br> This limit on who can dispense mifepristone has been in effect for more than 20 years, and it’s ordinarily a fairly minor limit on abortion rights. During the Covid-19 pandemic, however, it is potentially a significant burden on patients’ ability to terminate their pregnancies. <br> In the midst of a deadly pandemic, any trip outside of the home — including a trip to an abortion clinic — can potentially expose individuals to the coronavirus. Moreover, as Justice Sotomayor explains in her dissent, “three-quarters of abortion patients have low incomes, making them more likely to rely on public transportation to get to a clinic to pick up their medication.” <br> That means that these patients “must bear further risk of exposure while they travel, sometimes for several hours each way, to clinics often located far from their homes.” * Indeed, in no small part due to concerns that patients who need to travel in order to pick up medications could become infected with Covid-19, the FDA has eased many restrictions on prescription drugs for as long as the pandemic rages. <br> The federal government, Sotomayor notes, “has urged healthcare providers and patients to take advantage of telemedicine.” It has “waived many in-person drug distribution requirements because they could ‘put patients and others at risk for transmission of the coronavirus,’” and it has also waived certain mandatory tests that ordinarily must be conducted before certain drugs can be prescribed. <br> And yet, under the Trump administration, the FDA has refused to relax restrictions on mifepristone. It even appears to have singled mifepristone out for particularly restrictive treatment. As Sotomayor writes, “of the over 20,000 FDA-approved drugs, mifepristone is the only one that the FDA requires to be picked up in person for patients to take at home.” * Instead of holding that abortion is a constitutional right entitled to special protection by the courts, the decision in American College suggests that the government may treat abortion-related treatments more harshly than any other medical treatment. * Of the six conservative justices, only Chief Justice John Roberts explained why he voted the way he did, and Roberts’s opinion, for what it’s worth, disclaims any suggestion that American College is a broad attack on abortion rights. <br> “The question before us is not whether the requirements for dispensing mifepristone impose an undue burden on a woman’s right to an abortion as a general matter.” Rather, Roberts writes, he believes that “courts owe significant deference to the politically accountable entities with the ‘background, competence, and expertise to assess public health’” when deciding how the government should respond to the pandemic. <br> But Roberts is the most moderate member of the Court’s Republican majority. And his views matter far less than they used to, now that a majority of the Court is more conservative than he is. The five most conservative justices — a bloc of judges that is large enough to hand down binding decisions with or without Roberts — did not join Roberts’s opinion or otherwise explain their votes. === “Abortion in America The Origins and Evolution of National Policy 1800-1900” (1978) === <small> James C. Mohr, [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Abortion_in_America/0moyq1cxDV0C?hl=en&gbpv=1 “Abortion in America The Origins and Evolution of National Policy 1800-1900”], ''Oxford University Press'', (1978) </small> * In the absence of any legislation whatsoever on the subject of abortion in the United States in 1800, the legal status of the practice was governed by the traditional British common law as interpreted by the local courts of the new American states. For centuries prior to 1800 the key to the common law’s attitude toward abortion has been a phenomenon associated with normal gestation known as quickening. Quickening was the first perception of fetal movement by the pregnant woman herself. Quickening generally occurred near the midpoint of gestation, late in the fourth or early in the fifth month, though it would and still does vary a good deal from one woman to another. The common law did not formally recognize the existence of a fetus in criminal case until it had quickened. After quickening, the expulsion and destruction of a fetus without due cause was considered a crime, because the fetus itself had manifested some semblance of a separate existence: the ability to move. The crime was qualitatively different from the destruction of a human being, however, and punished less harshly. Before quickening, actions that had the effect of terminating what turned out to have been an early pregnancy were not considered criminal under the common law in effect in England and the United States in 1800. ** pp.3-4 * An ability to suspend one’s modern preconceptions and to accept the early nineteenth century on its own terms regarding the distinction between quick and unquick was absolutely crucial to an understanding of the evolution of abortion policy in the United States. However doubtful the notion appears to modern readers, the distinction was virtually universal in America during the early decades of the nineteenth century and accepted in good faith Perhaps the strongest evidence of the tenacity and universality of the doctrine in the United States was the fact that American courts pointedly sustained the most lenient implications of the quickening doctrine ever after the British themselves had abandoned them. In 1803 Parliament passed a law, the details of which will be discussed in the next chapter, that made abortion before quickening a criminal offense in England for the first time. But the common law in the United States, as legal scholars have pointed out, was becoming more flexible and more tolerant in the early decades of the nineteenth century, especially in sex-related areas, not more restrictive. ** p.5 * In 1812 the Massachusetts Supreme Court made clear the legal distance between the new British statute on abortion and American attitudes toward the practice. In October of that year the justices dismissed charges against a man named Isaiah Bangs not on the grounds that Bangs had not prepared and administered an abortifacient potion; he probably had. They freed Bangs because the indictment against him did not aver “that the woman was quick with child at the tie.” In Massachusetts, the court was asserting, an abortion early in pregnancy would remain beyond the scope of the law and not a crime. ''Commonwealth v. Bangs'' remained the ruling precedent in cases of abortion in the United States through the first half of the nineteenth century and, in most states, for some years beyond midcentury. <br> Prosecutors took the precedent so much for granted that indictments for abortion prior to quickening were virtually never brought into American courts. Every time the issue arose prior to 1850, the same conclusion was sustained: the interruption of a suspected pregnancy prior to quickening was not a crime in itself. ** pp.5-6 * Because women believed themselves to be carrying inert non-beings prior to quickening, a potential for life rather than life itself, and because the common law permitted them to attempt to rid themselves of suspected and unwanted pregnancies up to the point when the potential for life gave a sure sign that it was developing into something actually alive, some American women did practice abortion in the early decades of the nineteenth century. One piece of evidence for this conclusion was the ready access American women had to abortifacient information form 1800 onward. A chief source of such information was the home medical literature of the era. * p.6 * Home medical manuals characteristically contained abortifacient information in two different sections. One listed in explicit detail a number of procedures that might release “obstructed menses” and the other identified a number of specific things to be avoided in a suspected pregnancy because they were thought to bring on abortion. Americans probably consulted William Buchan’s ''Domestic Medicine'' more frequently than any other home medical guide during the first decades of the nineteenth century. Buchan suggested several courses of action designed to restore menstrual flow if a period was missed. These included bloodletting, bathing, iron and quinine concoctions, and if those failed, “a tea-spoonful of the tincture of black hellebore [a violent purgative]. . . twice a day in a cup of warm water.” Four pages later he listed among “the common causes” of abortion “great evacuations [and] vomiting,” exactly as would be produced by the treatment he urged for suppressed menses Later in pregnancy a venturesome, or desperate, woman could try some of the other abortion inducers he ticked off: “violent exercise; raising great weights; reaching too high; jumping, or stepping from an eminence; strokes [strong blows] on the belly; [and] falls.” <br> American women of the early nineteenth century who wanted more detailed information could consult books like Samuel K. Jennings’s ''The Married Lady’s Companion''. The Jennings volume, which billed itself in subtitle as a ''Poor Man’s Friend'', had its second printing in 1808 and was intended for women in rural areas, where there were no physicians, and for families unable to afford a doctor’s fee. The book was remarkably straightforward about advising otherwise healthy girls afflicted with “what you call a ''common cold''.” “Taking the cold” was a common nineteenth century euphemism for missing a menstrual period, and there can be no doubt that Jenning’s italics sufficiently alerted his readers. Jennings favored bleeding from the foot, hot baths, doses of calomel and aloes. Calomel was prescribed for almost anything in the early decades of the nineteenth century; aloes, another strong cathartic, remained a standard ingredient in abortifacient preparations for the next hundred years. <br> Like most early abortion material, Buchan’s and Jenning’s advice harked back to almost primordial or instinctual methods of ending a pregnancy. Bloodletting, for example, was evidently thought to serve as a surrogate period; it was hoped that bleeding from any part of the body might have the same flushing effect upon the womb that menstrual bleeding was known to have. This primitive folk belief lingered long into the nineteenth century, well after bleeding was abandoned as medical therapy in other kinds of cases, and it was common for abortionists as late as the 1870s to pull a tooth as part of their routine. This procedure had been given learned sanction in 1808, when the first American edition of John Burns’s classic ''Observations on Abortion'' appeared. Burns, a Glasgow medical professor whose volume remained a standard for half a century, was primarily concerned with spontaneous miscarriage rather than induced abortion, but twice in different contexts stated: “The pulling of a tooth . . . sometimes suddenly produces abortion.” Aside from the pain and shock of an extraction without anesthetic, which probably could induce miscarriage in some women, the process must have been psychologically akin to pulling a plug for the patient. In later years it also offered the sophisticated abortionist a medical camouflage upon which he or she might blame possible postoperative complications. Similarly, bathing, though it may have had some abortive effect as a muscle relaxer and a source of internal infection, probably went back to primitive beliefs that the pregnancy could simply be washed away, physically expunged. Finally, Jennings, recommendations of calomel and aloes paralleled Buchan’s reliance on black hellebore. These substances were ingested on the reasonably plausible theory that a sufficiently violent disruption of the lower digestive tract might cause the uterus to empty its contents also. This belief became the basis of a booming pharmaceutical business in abortifacient preperations, which will be discussed later in another context. ** p.6-8 * Joseph Brevitt’s ''The Female Medical Repository'', which was published in Baltimore in 1810, made many of the same points that Buchan and Jennings made, but added some significant details. Brevitt liked hellebore and aloes, but he considered savin especially effective. Savin, as Brevitt’s work reminded American women, had a tremendous advantage in the United States over hellebore or aloes because any woman could easily obtain some simply by extracting the oil from one of the common juniper bushes that grew wild all over North America. Both black hellebore and aloes, on the other hand, had to be imported and were, as a result, expensive. Reports of attempted abortion by ingesting savin, and of accidental death from savin overdoses, reained common throughout the nineteenth century. There can be little doubt that juniper extract was the single most commonly employed folk abortifacient in the United States during the early decades of the nineteenth century. Jalap, scammony, and bitter apple could also be tried in a pinch, according to ‘’The Female Medical Repository’’. Brevitt asserted that the French referred horehound, and he believed, wrongly, that amdder root worked directlyupon the muscles of the uterus itself. He cautioned against cantharides, or Spanish fly, because he considered it dangerous to the urinary tract, but the fact that he made such a warning suggests that at least some women were trying it for abortifacient purposes. “Electricity”, he added, “generally and sometimes locally applies, has frequently been known to restore the discharge.” This idea, too, was subsequently picked up by later nineteenth-century entrepreneurs, who developed a number of galvanic contraptions designed to aid women who were “obstructed”. <br> After listing the usual “external causes” of abortions, which included riding, jumping, falls, and the like, Brevitt added an asterisk and a footnote that helped confirm further the fact that Americans from an early period were practicing abortion: “I feel constrained to note here, the horrid depravity of human weakness, in wretches lost to every sense of religion, morality, and that natural attachment from a mother to her offspring, and every tender tie in nature, seek the means to procure abortion: nor are there wanted, in the other sex, infernals wicked enough to aid their endeavors.” Considering the detailed abortifacient information that Brevitt’s own volume contained, that statement might appear singularly disingenuous. But it probably was not. In Brevitt’s terms the word “abortion” implied the termination of a pregnancy ‘’after’’ the pregnancy was certain, that is, after quickening. He was testifying that even ‘’illegal’’ abortions were being performed in the United States in 1810, abortions after quickening, and that some physicians were willing to provide abortion services for women at virtually any stage of gestation. The procedures Brevitt counseled, even though they were designed to bring on what the twentieth century would call an abortion, were not considered criminally abortifacient either in Brevitt’s terms or in the opintion of hiss readers, unless a woman persisted in them after she quickened. ** pp.8-10 * The Virginian Thomas Ewell, a surgeon at Navy Hospital I Washington, D.C., was another who wrote forthrightly about unblocking obstructed menses in his ''Letter to Ladies'', published in 1817. Like many before him, he urged hot sitz baths, doses of aloes, and a number of straining exercises. Walking, horseback riding, and jumping, the more the better, all helped bring on abortion, he counseled, especially at the time menses would normally have occurred had the last period not been missed. Ewell, too, thought electricity through the thighs might end a suppression and that light bleeding could be beneficial. To those rather elemental staples, however, Ewell added some medically more advanced ideas including internal douching with strong brandy, water as hot as could be tolerated, vinegar, wine, or strong brine. Considering that the book appeared in 1817, this was reasonably sophisticated advice. Though Ewell could not have known anything about bacteria, each of the douches he recommended (assuming that the water was cooled from a boil) was fairly antiseptic. Moreover, he correctly speculated that the douches were not abortifacients themselves but provoked menstrual flow by causing cervical irritation, as in fact, they might have done. If forced into the uterus itself after cervical dilation, which was something medical practitioners knew how to do, such solutions would almost certainly have been effective abortifacients and not prohibitively unsafe. ** pp.10-11 * In addition to home medical guides and health manuals addressed to women, abortions and abortifacient information were also available in the United States from midwives and midwifery texts. Midwives has long enjoyed a dubious reputation as abortion procuresses both in England and in America This led to difficult problems for male physicians like valentine Seaman, who wanted to upgrade America’s midwife corps. Seaman, who was physician to the lying-in (maternity) ward of the New York city Almshouse and also associated with New York Hospital, taught midwifery. In his classes he had to instruct midwives on how to perform abortions in order that they might meet such crises as the death of a fetus in utero or an incomplete spontaneous abortion or a badly handled intentional abortion begun by someone else. But when he published his lectures in 1800, he was at considerable pains to point out that he cautioned new midwives against prescribing for obstructed menses on their own, lest they inadvertently becomes the dupes of women who already knew they were pregnant and wanted abortions. Again the caution suggests that some American women were approaching midwives for abortifacient services. <br> Herbal healers, the so-called Indian doctors, and various other irregular practitioners also helped spread abortifacient information in the United States during the early decades of the nineteenth century. Their surviving pamphlets, of which Peter Smith’s 1813 brochure entitled “The Indian Doctor’s Dispensary” is an example, contained abortiacient recipes that typically combined the better-known cathartics with native North American ingredients thought to have emmenagogic properties. For “obstructed menses” Smith recommended a concoction he called “Dr Reeder’s chalybeate.” The key ingredients were myrrh and aloes, combined with liquor, sugar, vinegar, iron dust, ivy, and Virginia or Seneca snakeroot. A sweet-and-sour cocktail like that may or may not have induced abortion, but must certainly have jolted the system of any woman who tried one. ** pp.11-12 * The snakeroot to which Smith referred appears to have been another of the popular folk abortifacients used in the United States early in the nineteenth century. When Thomas Massie, a medical student at the Uniersity of Pennsylvania, wrote his 803 doctoral dissertation on the properties of ‘’Polygala Senega’’, he quoted a letter from an eminent medical man in Hartford Country, Maryland, to the effect that Seneca snakeroot was frequently used among the illiterate rural population of his area “intentionally to destroy the foetus in utero.”” Massie’s thesis, subsequently selected for publication in 1806, put forward the likelihood that Seneca acted directly upo the uterus itself, as he and Brevitt and others also believed madder did, and that regular physicians might ‘administer it “with great advantage… to those laboring under obstructed catamenia.” Thirty years later John B Beck, by then the nation’s leading authority on the medical jurisprudence of abortion, confirmed that Seneca “has now been known and used in this country for a number of years, for the purpose of acting on the uterine organ, with a view of restoring menstrual secretion.” Beck added along the same line that folk doctors also liked common North American black cohosh, sometimes called squawroot, for the ssame purpose. Native Indian women evidently employed an herbal brew of cohosh as an emanagogue and, according to Beck, the same brew for the same purpose was “a good deal used by our American practitioners.” ** pp.12,14 * Finally, and most importantly, America’s regular physicians, those who had formal medical training either in the United States or in Great Britain or had been apprenticed under a regular doctor, clearly possessed the physiological knowledge and the surgical techniques necessary to terminate a pregnancy by mechanical means. They knew that dilation of the cervix at virtually any stage of gestation would generally bring on uterine contractions that would in turn lead to the expulsion of the contents of the uterus. They knew that any irritation introduced into the uterus would have the same effect. They knew that rupturing the amniotic sac, especially in the middle and later months of pregnancy, would usually also induce contractions and expulsion, regardless of whether the fetus was viable. Indeed, they were taught in their lecture courses and in their textbooks various procedures much more complex than a simple abortion, such as in utero decapitation and fetal pulverization, processes they were instructed to imply in lieu of the even more horribly dangerous Caesarean section. Like the general public, they knew the drugs and herbs most commonly used as abortifacients and emmenagogues, and also like the general public, they believed such preparations to have been frequently effective. <br> Moreover, there is little reason to doubt that American physicians sometimes used their knowledge to terminate unwanted pregnancies for their patients. Walter Channing, who lectured on midwifery and the diseases off women and children at the Harvard Medical School during the 1820s, taught his students that pregnancy was impossible to diagnose with complete accuracy during the early months of gestation. Textbooks repeated the same dictum. Even John Beck, an opponent of induced abortions at any stage of gestation, had to assert unequivocally that pregnancy could not be legally determined beyond all doubt prior to quickening. As a medical student reminded himself in his lecture notebook very early in the nineteenth century: “When reliance can be put on the account of ye patient, there is no fear of confounding this disease [amenorrhea or blocked menstrual flow] with any o[ther]. [W]e cannot always determine the state of the patient, the Menses should be wanting during pregnancy, and those who want to conceal pregnancy often pretend that they are subject to a variety of symptoms in on sequence of the obstructed menses.” <br> This placed great pressure on physicians to provide what amounted to abortion services early in pregnancy. An unmarried girl who feared herself pregnant, for example, could approach her family doctor and ask to be treated for menstrual blockage If he hoped to retain the girl and her family as future patients, the physician would have little choice but to accept the girl’s assessment of the situation, even if he suspected otherwise. He realized that every member of his procession would testify to the fact that he had no totally reliable means of distinguishing between an early pregnancy, on the one hand, and the amenorrhea that the girl claimed, on the other. Consequently, he treated for obstruction, which involved exactly the same procedures he would have reused to induce an early abortion, and wittingly or unwittingly terminated the pregnancy. Regular physicians were also asked to bring to safe conclusion abortions that irregulars or women themselves had initiated. ''The Medical Recorder'' of Philadelphia detailed exactly such a case in 1825 and the regular who was called upon, despite some moral qualms, considered it is his duty to finish the job for the young woman involved. And through all of this the physician might bear in mind that he could never be held legally guilty of wrongdoing. No statues existed anywhere in the United States on the subject of abortion, and the common law, as reaffirmed in America in the ''Bangs'' case, considered abortion actionable only after a pregnancy had quickened. No wonder then that Heber C. Kimball, recalling his courtship with a woman he married in 1822, claimed that she had been “taught…in our young days, when she got into the family way, to send for a doctor and get rid of the child’’; a course that sh followed. ** pp.14-16 * In summary, hen, the practice of aborting unwanted pregnancies was, if not common, almost certainly not rare in the United States during the first decades of the nineteenth century. A knowledge of various drugs, potions, and techniques was available from home medical guides, from health books for women, from midwives and irregular practitioners, and from trained physicians. Substantial evidence suggests that many American women sought abortions, tried the standard techniques of the day, and no doubt succeeded some proportion of the time in terminating unwanted pregnancies. Moreover, this practice was neither morally nor legally wrong in the eyes of the vast majority of Americans, provided it was accomplished before quickening. <br> The actual number of abortions in the United States prior to the advent of any states regulating its practice simply cannot be known. But an equally significant piece of information about those abortions can be gleaned from the historical record. It concerns the women who were having them. Virtually every observer through the middle of the 1850s believed that an overwhelming percentage of the American women who sought and succeeded in having abortions did ** p.16 *[T]he regulars bitterly opposed what they regarded as quack theories, though in truth many of the irregulars advocated courses of treatment less detrimental to health than the regulars’ own. <br> There was more at stake for regulars, however, than matters of principle and questions of theory, important as they were. The unrestricted entry of irregulars into the medical field, particularly between 1820 and 1850, also produced an intense competition for paying patients that hurt the regulars badly. As Edward C. Atwater made clear in a fine study of this phenomenon in a single small city, Rochester, New York, the problem was very real. Doctors’ incomes fell sharply and regular physicians were being driven not only from high social status, but out of the profession itself. <br> In the face of such crises many regular physicians in the United States decided to try to defend both their medical theories and their material livelihoods in the best way they could: through the state legislatures. The regulars perceived that their educational credentials, their persuasive powers, and their generally well-established social background would, in the long run, give them something of an advantage over their rivals in those public forums. Their ongoing and ultimately successful efforts to influence medical related legislation of all kinds became crucial to the evolution of abortion policy at the state level because, unlike most of their irregular rivals and unlike a majority of the American people, regular physicians opposed abortion not only after quickening but before quickening as well. **p.34 *The regulars’ opposition to abortion was partly ideological, partly scientific, partly moral, and partly practical. Ideologically, one of the things that distinguished the regulars was their adherence to the Hippocratic Oath, and the Hippocratic Oath condemned abortion. In this respect the father of medicine had also held a distinctly minority view in his own society; both Plato and Aristotle, for example, condoned the practice. Yet Hippocrates’s creed had become one of the touchstones of regular medicine in the United States by the early nineteenth century, and the oath was considered the basic platform upon which the regulars were attempting to upgrade the ethical standards of their profession in a host of different areas, not just in regard to abortion. Since opposition to abortion was in that creed, the regulars tried to stick by it. In one of the earliest cases of ethical self-regulation in the United States, the Oneida County (New York) Medical Society expelled an unwanted member in 1834 on the official pretext that he had performed an abortion. **pp.34-35 *Scientifically, regulars had realized for some time that conception inaugurated a more or less continuous process of development, which would produce a new human being if uninterrupted. Consequently, they attacked the quickening doctrine on the logical grounds that quickening was a step neither more nor less crucial in the process of gestation than any other. John Beck, for example, in his long-standard 1823 discussion off abortion from the standpoint of medical jurisprudence, put forward two different theories to explain the physiology of quickening in an effort to lessen its importance, though he admitted that the continued viability of that doctrine had a “direct tendency . . . to countenance . . . abortion, at least in the earlier stages of pregnancy.” Before Beck, Burns, too, had denied that there was anything physiologically special about quickening, and had opposed any attempt to “prevent life from continuing, until it arrive at perfection” once conception had taken place. <br> From the scientific reasoning stemmed the regulars’ moral opposition to abortion at any stage in gestation. If society considered it unjustifiable to terminate a pregnancy after the fetus had quickened, and if quickening was a relatively unimportant, almost incidental step in the overall gestation process, then it was just as wrong to terminate pregnancy before quickening as after quickening. Regulars believed it immoral, in other words, to make a life or death decision on the basis of a distinction that they could demonstrate to have very little relation to life or death. **pp.35-36 *There was more to the physicians’ moral opposition to abortion than scientific logic, however, for another dimension also emerged forcefully form their writings throughout the nineteenth century. The nation’s regular doctors, probably more than any other identifiable group in American society during the nineteenth century, including the clergy, defended the value of human life per se as an absolute. Scholars interested in the medical mentality of the nineteenth century will have to explain the reasons for this ideological position. It may have been related to the physicians’ role as social and intellectual modernizers in a world that still took largely for granted the assumption that a widespread and routine destruction of life was part of the human condition; it may have been related to the fact that physicians tended to be men who wished to find secular absolutes to replace spiritual ones; it may have been related to the physicians’ psychological commitment as ministers and defenders of life against the forces seen and unseen trying to snuff it out; or it may have been related to factors that historians simply do not yet fully understand. But whatever the reasons, regular physicians felt very strongly indeed on the issue of protecting human life. And once they had decided that human life was present to some extent in a newly fertilized ovum, however limited that extent might be, they became the fierce opponents of any attack upon it. **p.36 *Practically, the regular physicians saw in abortion a medical procedure that not only gave the competition an edge but also undermined the solidarity of their own regular tanks. If a regular doctor refused to perform an abortion, he knew the woman could go to one of several types of irregulars and probably receive one. And, as the regulars themselves pointed out, it was not so much the short-term loss of a fee for the abortion that upset them, but the prospects of a long-term loss of patients. As more and more irregulars began to advertise abortion services openly, especially after 1840, regular physicians grew more and more nervous about losing their practices to healers who would provide a service that more and more American women after 1840 began to want. Yet, if regular gave in to the temptation to perform an occasional discreet abortion, and physicians testified repeatedly that this frequently happened among the regulars, he would be compromising his own commitment to an American medical practice that would conform to Hippocratic standards of behavior. The best way out of these dilemmas was to persuade state legislators to make abortion criminal offense. Anti-abortion laws would weaken the appeal of the competition and take the pressure off the more marginal members of the regulars’ own sect. For all of these reasons, regular physicians became interested in abortion policy from an early date and repeatedly dragged it into their prolonged struggle to control the practice of medicine in the United States. At times abortion policy became a focal point in that struggle, at times an incidentally affected by-product, but the struggle itself was always there in the background. **p.37 *Consider the situation in New York once again in this context. The regular physicians there, by controlling through the speaker of the assembly all appointments to the standing committee on medical practice, had pushed through the legislature in 1827 the toughest medical regulation law the state had ever had, tougher than the so-called Anti-Quack Act of 1819. The 1827 law granted great power to the regular physicians, who were organized as the state medical society, by declaring the unauthorized practice of medicine a misdemeanor. There is every reason to believe that these regulars, who were still influential in Albany the following year, were the “old and experienced surgeons” to whom the revisers of 1828 said they listened when they drew up the medically related sections of the state code, including the specially set aside section proscribing abortion for the first time in the United States in terms approaching Ellenborough’s. Moreover, not only does the proscription of abortion itself make sense in this context of a temporary ascendancy of the regulars in their long battle to control medical practice at the state level, but so also does the sudden appearance for the first time of a therapeutic exception that stipulated consultation with at least “two physicians” before performing an abortion for medical reasons. **p.37 * By the early 1840s, between 30,000 and 40,000 people were said to have signed petitions opposed to the rigid regulation and regularization of medicine in New York. Under these circumstances, New York’s statutory prohibition of abortion, which could have been interpreted to cover abortions before quickening as well as after quickening, lay buried in code, unenforced. A precedent has been established for future abortion policies, but the practice of abortion itself was little affected by the legislation of 1828 in New York. <br> The decade of the 1830s, generally speaking, was one of wide-open medical practices throughout the nation, not just in New York. New York’s foray into medical regulation was not widely imitated elsewhere, and those states that had passed medical practice acts similar to New York’s 1827 law repealed them during the 1830s. Consequently, it is not surprising that the period was not one of vigorous anti-abortion activity in state legislatures. One of the exceptions was Ohio. In 1834 legislators there made attempted abortion a misdemeanor without specifying any stage of gestation, and they made the death of either the mother or the fetus after quickening a felony. ** p.39 === “The making of pro-life activists: how social movement mobilization works” (2008) === <small> Munson, Ziad W.

Retrieved 31 December 2011. </small> * The partisan valence of the abortion issue had not yet developed in these early years of the pro-life movement. Today pro-life political views are strongly tied to the Republican Party, while pro-choice views are tied to the Democrats. This had not always been true. The Republicans first adopted a pro-life position in their national party platform in 1980. At the same time, longtime Democrat Jesse Jackson spoke out consistently against abortion rights throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. In a 1977 article written for the NRLC newsletter, Jackson explained that “human beings cannot give or create life by themselves, it really is a gift from God. Therefore, one does not have the right to take away (through abortion) that which he does not have the ability to give.” Prominent pro-life leaders have also been committed Democrats. Jackie Schweitz, who led MCCL for eighteen years until 2001, was active in the Democratic the Democratic Party through the 1980s. ** pp.86-87 * Although the contours of the conflict looked different in the first fifteen years of the movement, the political and legal story of abortion since 1973 had shown a consistent pattern of slow but steady erosion of the rights granted to women by the landmark Supreme Court decisions. At the same time, the basic finding of those decisions-that women have a legal right to abortion at least under some circumstances-has been consistently and repeatedly confirmed. State legislatures, the U.S. Congress, and the courts were the primary venues in the battle over abortion beginning in 1973. Both the legislative and judicial systems have faced an avalanche of abortion-related bills and cases since that time. Legislatures in all fifty states review hundreds of new pieces of legislation annually that affect abortion services. ** p.87 * Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures in the United States. More than one pregnancy in five is ended by abortion, a total of 1.29 million abortions in 2002 and more than 42 million since the procedure was legalized in 1973 (Finer et al 2005). Before the age of forty-five, fully a third of all U.S. women will have one or more abortions (Henshaw 1998). The ubiquity of abortion in American life has done little to reduce the controversy that continues to surround it. Survey evidence suggests that abortion is one of the only morally charged social issued about which American opinion has become more polarized over the last three decades (DiMaggio, Evans, and Bryson 1996; Hour 1999; Evans 2003). The battle over the issue is evident in the political realm: state legislatures considered more than 1,120 pieces of legislation related to abortion in 2006 alone (NARAL 1007). Abortion was the central focus of the debates over the confirmation of Supreme Court justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito in 2005 and 2006. The 2007 Supreme Court decision overturning the constitutional requirement for a health exception in any state abortion ban has once again put the issue squarely at the top of the national agenda. ** p.89 * The absolute number of abortions as well as the abortion rate grew steadily after 1973. The highest recorded number of reported abortions (1.61 million) occurred in 1990; the highest abortion rate (29.3 per one thousand women of childbearing age) occurred in 1981 (Jones et al. 2008). Since that time, both the number of abortions and the abortion rate have steadily declined. In 2005, there were an estimated 1.21 million abortions and an abortion rate of only 19.4 per one thousand women (Jones et al. 2008). The causes of this decline are hotly debated and include changes in ideas about abortion, couples’ contraceptive habits, and young women’s demographic situations. It may also be affected by the availability of abortion services in different parts of the country, a factor that has been influenced by the political and social debates over legalized abortion. <br> There are in fact, substantial obstacles to obtaining a legal abortion today, in comparison to the availability of other gynecological obstetric services. The vast majority of counties in the United States-87 percent-have no abortion provider at all. Almost a quarter of women who have an abortion travel more than fifty miles to obtain one, and the costs of abortion-which start at about four hundred dollars-have risen 9 percent in recent years (Finer and Henshaw 2003). Clinics are also subject to increasing pressure by pro-life protesters. Although the incidence of violence against abortion clinics has declined in recent years as, the amount of pro-life picketing has steadily increased There were more than ten thousand cases of picketing in front of clinics in 2007 (National Abortion Federation 2008). <br> Despite these changes, public opinion about abortion has remained remarkably stable.. Since 1972, the number of Americans who believe abortion should be legal in cases where there is a high chance of fetal defects has remained between 78.5 percent and 85.5 percent (see figure 4.1). Since 1977, the number of Americans who support legalized abortion for any reason has stayed consistently between 33.3 percent and 43.5 percent. Results are similar for other variations on poling questions. Despite all their efforts over the last three decades, neither the pro-choice movement nor the pro-life movement has succeeded in shifting the weight of public opinion on abortion even as the social, political, legal, economic, and medical contexts of legalized abortion in the United States have all changed over the same period. ** p.90 * The legal status of abortion following ''Roe v. Wade'' and ''Doe v. Bolton'' was the most permissive since the first statues outlawing abortion were passed in the early 1800s. Since that time, new federal and state laws, along with a whole series of Supreme Court rulings that support them, have generally imposed new limits on the availability of legal abortions. This pro-life movement that has mobilized and pushed for these restrictions is today a well-institutionalized and heterogeneous phenomenon. It includes a whole range of organizations both nationally and in cities and towns across the country. ** p.95 === "Supreme Court affirms abortion protections, strikes down Louisiana abortion law" (June 29, 2020) === <small> Najmabadi, Shannon (June 29, 2020). [https://www.texastribune.org/2020/06/29/supreme-court-abortion-louisiana/ "Supreme Court affirms abortion protections, strikes down Louisiana abortion law"]. The Texas Tribune. </small> *The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law Monday that would have curtailed access to abortions in the state and that was nearly identical to a measure the court overturned in Texas in 2016. <br> The ruling is a win for advocates of abortion access, who feared the case could quickly pave the way for states to impose greater restrictions on the procedure. But legal and legislative battles over the procedure are sure to continue, including in Texas, where there are more than 6 million women of reproductive age. More than 53,800 abortions were performed in Texas in 2017, including 1,1,74 for out-of-state residents, according to government data. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the liberal justices in a 5-4 decision that struck down a Louisiana law that would have required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. Roberts had dissented in the 2016 decision that found Texas’ restrictions placed an undue burden on a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion. He did not agree with the liberal justices’ reasoning Monday, instead citing the precedent set by the previous case. <br> "The result in this case is controlled by our decision four years ago invalidating a nearly identical Texas law," Roberts wrote. *State officials say requirements for admitting privileges are meant to protect women’s health and ensure doctors are qualified. Advocates of abortion access counter that these privileges are medically unnecessary because the procedure rarely results in hospitalization and when complications do arise, they often occur after the woman has left the clinic. Doctors may have their admitting privileges denied for reasons unrelated to ability or experience, including not having a track record of admitting patients due to the relative rarity of complications requiring hospitalization, critics of the Louisiana law say. <br> Lawyers challenging the law argued it was a carbon copy of the Texas requirement overturned in 2016. The Supreme Court said in its decision then that there was “sufficient evidence” showing that the requirement for admitting privileges shut down about half the abortion clinics in Texas — more than quadrupling the number of reproductive-age women living more than 150 miles away from one — with no proof they better protected women’s health. *During the period in which the requirement was in effect in Texas, the number of abortions performed in the state declined from around 63,000 in 2013 to 54,000 the next year, government data shows. In neighboring Louisiana, where some 10,000 women seek abortions each year, one clinic and one doctor would be left to perform the procedure if the requirement for admitting privileges went into effect, the law’s challengers said. *Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the court should have upheld the "commonsense" Louisiana law. "Instead, in striking down these basic health-and-safety regulations, the Supreme Court has allowed abortion clinics to endanger women," he said in a statement. *While advocates for abortion access celebrated the ruling, they expressed worry about future fights over the procedure. <br> “We’re relieved that the Louisiana law has been blocked today, but we’re concerned about tomorrow,” said Nancy Northup, head of the Center for Reproductive Rights, a nonprofit that represented the Louisiana abortion providers. “Unfortunately, the court’s ruling today will not stop those hell bent on banning abortion.” *The Texas Democratic Party said the decision underscores the need to elect Democratic politicians who support "every woman’s right to choose." <br> "Our fight for choice and quality access to health care continues this November," Texas Democratic Party senior brand director Brittany Switzer said. === "Lubbock votes to become the state's largest "sanctuary city for the unborn" (May 1, 2021) === <small> Najmabadi, Shannon.

The Eagle. (May 1, 2021) </small> *The push to declare Lubbock a “sanctuary city for the unborn” began in the last two years and was galvanized by the arrival of a Planned Parenthood clinic in 2020. Anti-abortion activists gathered enough signatures to bring the ordinance to the City Council — where it was voted down for conflicting with state law and Supreme Court rulings — and to then put it to a citywide vote. <br> Ardent supporters of the measure, who liken abortion to murder, say it reflects the views held by many in conservative Lubbock. They believe the ordinance would stand up in court and say they have an attorney who will defend the city free of charge if it is challenged. <br> But the strategy of bringing the abortion fight to the local level has divided even staunch anti-abortion activists, and Texas towns like Omaha and Mineral Wells have voted down similar ordinances or walked them back under advice from city attorneys. *The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, which previously sued seven East Texas towns that passed similar ordinances, has said they were watching the vote closely and hinted at a lawsuit in a statement Saturday. <br> Drucilla Tigner, a policy and advocacy strategist with the organization, said the “ACLU has a long history of challenging unconstitutional abortion bans and will continue to fight to protect the fundamental rights of the people of Lubbock.” *A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, which has provided birth control and other health services in Lubbock since last fall, said “we are committed to expanding access to abortion and will provide abortion services when possible in Lubbock.” <br> “We want Lubbock residents to know: Our doors are open and we will continue to advocate for our patients, no matter what,” said Sarah Wheat, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. *Richard D. Rosen, a constitutional law professor at Texas Tech University, expects someone would sue Planned Parenthood and the legal fight would go from there. <br> “As long as Roe is good law I think these suits will ultimately fail, but it [could make] abortion providers ... expend money for attorneys fees and it takes time,” he said. * “Today is a victory for life and proof that the silent majority will still stand up for its Christian conservative values,” state Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Lubbock Republican, said in a statement Saturday. <br> Mark Lee Dickson, an East Texas pastor behind the “sanctuary city for the unborn” movement, helped push the ordinance in Lubbock and said he was “grateful that the voters of Lubbock voted so overwhelmingly to outlaw abortion.” <br> “Planned Parenthood and its supporters also worked hard to get their supporters to the polls, and we congratulate them on their efforts,” he said Saturday night. “Now that the voters have spoken, we expect Planned Parenthood to respect the outcome of this election and cease providing abortions at its Lubbock clinic.” * Without the recently opened Planned Parenthood location, the closest abortion clinics are a five-and-a-half hour drive away, said Marilyn Mathew, co-founder of a “Medical Students for Choice” group at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. That could prove to be a cost-prohibitive journey for people needing to stay overnight to comply with state abortion regulations, she said. <br> “I’m worried about how this is going to play out in the long run,” she said. === "Access to Abortion" (2003) === <small> "Access to Abortion" (PDF).

Retrieved June 17, 2007. </small> *The Supreme Court confirmed women’s right to choose abortion in 1973, and the courts have upheld that finding in subsequent cases. But access to abortion has been severely eroded. The most recent survey found that 87% of all US counties have no identifiable abortion provider In non-metropolitan areas, the figure rises to 97%. As a result, many women must travel long distances to reach the nearest abortion provider. <br> But distance is not the only barrier women face. Many other factors have contributed to the current crisis in abortion access, including a shortage of trained abortion providers; state laws that make getting an abortion more complicated than is medically necessary; continued threats of violence and harassment at abortion clinics; state and federal Medicaid restrictions; and fewer hospitals providing abortion services. **p.1 *In 1973 the Supreme Court struck down state laws that had criminalized abortion. Doctors working in hospital emergency rooms and ob/gyn units before that time knew first-hand about the medical devastation that women suffered as a result of self induced abortions or black market abortions performed by unlicensed practitioners. Today, many of those doctors are retiring. The younger physicians replacing them have little direct experience with the consequences of illegal abortions and the public health benefits of ensuring that safe abortions remain available. <br> Even those young doctors who are committed to providing safe abortions to their patients may have trouble getting the training they need. A survey in 1998 revealed that first trimester abortion techniques are a routine part of training in only 46% of America's ob/gyn residency programs. About 34% offer this training only as an elective, and 7% provide no opportunity at all for young doctors to learn to do safe abortions. <br> In 1996, the agency responsible for accrediting medical residency programs (the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) took steps to correct this problem. It now requires ob/gyn residency programs to include family planning and abortion training for their students. It is too soon to tell whether this will result in better preparation of ob/gyns in the future to provide safe abortion services, but it is clear that doctors who don't get this training are not in a position to provide the full range of care that their patients will need. **p.1 *National polling consistently shows that the majority of Americans support a woman's right to choose, but many legislators are committed to bringing an end to legal abortion and have passed laws that have drastically diminished access to abortion. These include: <br> * Parental Consent or Notification Laws which are now enforced in over half the states can violate the privacy of young women by forcing them to involve their parents in their decisions, even when they have strong objections to doing so. As a result, some women to travel to other states that do not require parental involvement; others have resorted to illegal abortions rather than comply with a legal requirement that puts them in jeopardy. <br> * Mandatory Waiting Periods require women to wait some period of time (up to 24 hours) between a state mandated counseling appointment and their abortion. Many of these laws require the counseling be done in person rather than on the phone. These laws imply that women come to abortion clinics without having seriously considered their options. As a result of these waiting periods, a woman's abortion is often delayed much longer than 24 hours, particularly if she has to take time off from work, arrange for child care, travel a long way, and perhaps stay overnight in a distant city. These factors can significantly increase the cost as well. <br> * Biased Counseling Laws require that clinic personnel lead their patients through detailed, state prescribed "scripts" that promote childbearing. Abortion providers have long been at the forefront of developing and delivering sound and effective options counseling to their patients. They consider these scripts "biased" because they contain information that is designed to frighten and dissuade women from having abortions. These coercive scripts are completely incompatible with the goal of true informed consent. **p.1 *The cost of a first trimester abortion has increased only slightly since 1973 (see Fact Sheet: Economics of Abortion), but many women still cannot afford the fee. The Hyde Amendment denies federal Medicaid funding for abortions except in specific, rare circumstances, and most states have similar laws restricting financial help to women who need abortions. More than 2/3 of women must initially pay for their abortions themselves -- only 13% of abortions are paid for with a state's public funds2, and only 13% are covered by a woman's private insurance at the time of her abortion. A small number of women may be reimbursed by insurance after their abortion. <br> The result is that too many women who need abortions must wait while they raise funds, postponing their abortions until later in their pregnancies, when the costs of these more complicated abortion procedures are higher. For the women who are struggling to make ends meet and who do not have insurance that covers abortion, the legal right to have an abortion does not guarantee that they will have access to it. **p.2 *Today, about 95% of women who need abortions have them in clinics or in private doctor's offices where costs can be kept low without increasing health risks.<br> This pattern of abortion service delivery represents a significant shift away from hospital provided abortion care, which was far more common in the early years after the laws criminalizing abortion were struck down. "According to the American Hospital Association, there were 5,801 hospitals in the United States in 2001. However, a 2001-2002 study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute identified only 603 hospitals that provided abortions in 2001." This has serious implications for abortion access. Women in rural areas where there are no abortion clinics, and low-income women who depend on hospital emergency services for medical care, are left unserved when hospitals do not provide abortions. When hospitals do not offer abortions, young physicians they train have no opportunity to learn to perform safe abortions. **p.2 *The National Abortion Federation's Access Initiative Project was created specifically to address the escalating problem of limited access to abortion in the US. The Access Initiative Project works with medical residency programs, educational institutions, health care associations, legal experts, public policy organizations, and interested individuals to ensure that qualified clinicians are able to get the training they need to provide safe abortions and that women can continue to have access to the quality health care they deserve. **p.2 === "The Safety and Quality of Abortion Care in the United States” (2018) === <small> National Academies of Sciences, Engineering; Division, Health Medicine; Board on Health Care Services; Board on Population Health Public Health Practice; Committee on Reproductive Health Services: Assessing the Safety Quality of Abortion Care in the U.S (2018).

PMID 29897702 </small> * Abortion is a legal medical procedure that has been provided to millions of American women. Since the Institute of Medicine first reviewed the health implications of national legalized abortion in 1975, there has been a plethora of related scientific research, including well-designed randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and epidemiological studies examining abortion care. This research has focused on examining the relative safety of abortion methods and the appropriateness of methods for different clinical circumstances. With this growing body of research, earlier abortion methods have been refined, discontinued, and new approaches have been developed. ** ch.2, p.45 * In the more than 40 years since national legalization of abortion, investigators have conducted randomized controlled trials (RCTs), large retrospective cohort studies, patient and provider surveys, systematic reviews, and other types of research on abortion care and its health effects on women, resulting in an extensive literature. ** ch.2, p.45 * The committee’s review emphasizes contemporary approaches to abortion care because abortion methods have been refined in response to new evidence. Some research conducted before 2000 is unlikely to reflect the outcomes of how abortions are typically performed in the United States today. As discussed below, for example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved protocol for medication abortion was updated in 2016 based on extensive research showing improved outcomes with a revised regimen. Techniques used in aspiration procedures are also safer and more effective than in the past. Sharp metal curettes, once commonly used, are considered obsolete by many professional groups, and their use is no longer recommended for abortion because of the increased (albeit rare) risk of injury. New approaches to cervical preparation and the use of ultrasound guidance have also improved abortion safety. ** ch.2, p.46 * Induction abortions are rarely performed in the United States; in 2013, they accounted for approximately 2 percent of all abortions at 14 weeks’ gestation or later. For many women in the United States, D&E is often the preferred alternative because induction is more painful, its timing is less predictable and slower (sometimes taking more than 24 hours), and it is more expensive (see below). In some clinical settings, however, D&E is not an option because the available clinicians lack the necessary experience and/or training in D&E procedures. In addition, D&E abortions are illegal in Mississippi and West Virginia. ** p.66 * Death associated with a legal abortion in the United States is an exceedingly rare event. As Table 2-4 shows, the risk of death subsequent to a legal abortion (0.7 per 100,000) is a small fraction of that for childbirth (8.8 per 100,000). Abortion-related mortality is also lower than that for colonoscopies (2.9 per 100,000), plastic surgery (0.8 to 1.7 per 100,000), dental procedures (0.0 to 1.7 per 100,000), and adult tonsillectomies (2.9 to 6.3 per 100,000). Comparable data for other common medical procedures are difficult to find. ** pp.74-75 * Unlike other health care procedures provided in office-based settings, abortions are subject to a wide array of regulations that vary by state. Except for abortion, states typically regulate individual, office-based health services only when the service involves using sedation or general anesthesia (and depending on the level of sedation). Twenty-five states regulate office-based procedures (other than abortion). In 23 of these states, the regulation is triggered by the level of sedation, and in most cases, it requires that the facility be either accredited or licensed by the state in order to offer patients moderate or deep sedation. ** p.76 * The clinical evidence presented in this chapter on the provision of safe and high-quality abortion care stands in contrast to the extensive regulatory requirements that state laws impose on the provision of abortion services. These requirements may influence the efficiency of abortion care by requiring medically unnecessary services and multiple visits to the abortion facility, in addition to requiring that care take place in costlier and more sophisticated settings than are clinically necessary. These requirements go beyond the accepted standards of care in the absence of evidence that they improve safety. Some requirements, such as multiple visits and waiting periods, delay abortion services, and by doing so may increase the clinical risks and cost of care. They may also limit women’s options for care and impact providers’ ability to provide patient-centered care. Furthermore, many of these laws have been documented to reduce the availability of care by imposing unneeded regulations on abortion providers and the settings in which abortion services are delivered. The implications of abortion-specific regulations for the safety and quality of abortion care are described below. ** p.77 * The clinical evidence makes clear that legal abortions in the United States—whether by medication, aspiration, D&E, or induction—are safe and effective. Serious complications are rare; in the vast majority of studies, they occur in fewer than 1 percent of abortions, and they do not exceed 5 percent in any of the studies the committee identified. However, the risk of a serious complication increases with weeks’ gestation. As the number of weeks increases, the invasiveness of the required procedure and the need for deeper levels of sedation also increase. Thus, delaying the abortion increases the risk of harm to the woman. <br> State regulations that require women to make multiple in-person visits and wait multiple days delay the abortion. If the waiting period is required after an in-person counseling appointment, the delay is exacerbated. Restrictions on the types of providers and on the settings in which abortion services can be provided also delay care by reducing the availability of care. <br> Financial burdens and difficulty obtaining insurance are frequently cited by women as reasons for delay in obtaining an abortion. As noted in Chapter 1, 33 states prohibit public payers from paying for abortions, and other states have laws that either prohibit health insurance exchange plans (25 states) or private insurance plans (11 states) sold in the state from covering or paying for abortions, with few exceptions. ** pp.77-78 * Long-established ethical and legal standards for informed consent in health care appear to have been compromised in the delivery of abortion care in many areas of the country. Thirty-five states have abortion-specific regulations requiring women to receive counseling before an abortion is performed, and abortion patients in many of these states are offered or given inaccurate or misleading information (verbally or in writing) on reversing medication abortions, risks to future fertility, possible breast cancer risk, and/or long-term mental health consequences of abortion. As noted earlier in this chapter, the principal objective of the informed consent process is that patients understand the nature and risks of the procedure they are considering. However, legally requiring providers to inform women about risks that are not supported and are even invalidated by scientific research violates the accepted standards of informed consent. For example, some states require that providers inform women that abortion puts them at greater risk for breast cancer; mental health disorders; and difficulties in having a healthy, successful pregnancy. Three states require providers to inform women that a medication abortion can be reversed after the woman takes mifepristone. This information is not supported by research that meets scientific standards. ** pp.78-79 === "The Hyde Amendment" === <small> [https://web.archive.org/web/20091116133030/http:/www.nchla.org/datasource/ifactsheets/4FSHydeAm22a.08.pdf "The Hyde Amendment"] (PDF). National Committee for a Human Life Amendment. April 2008. Archived from the original (PDF) on November 16, 2009. === </small> * The Hyde Amendment has been enacted into law in various forms since 1976, during both Democratic and Republican administrations. In 1980, the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of the Hyde Amendment. In Harris v. McRae the Court ruled that government may distinguish between abortion and “other medical procedures, because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of a potential life.” <br> In addition to the life of the mother exception, the Senate had attached exceptions to the Hyde Amendment for rape and incest (FY 1977 to 1980) and for cases where there would be “severe and physical health damage” to the mother if the pregnancy were carried to term (FY 1977 to 1979). However, the 1980 elections brought enough new pro-life members to the Senate to produce a strong Hyde Amendment as part of Supplemental Appropriations and Rescission Act of 1981 (signed into law June 5, 1981 and effective thereafter): <br> None of the funds appropriated under this Act shall be used to perform abortions except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term. <br> This language remained constant from 1981 to 1993, though pro-abortion Members made several unsuccessful attempts to weaken the amendment. In 1989, Congress sustained President Bush’s veto of an appropriations bill that contained weakened language. <br> In 1993, pro-abortion advocates intended to use parliamentary rules of the House to eliminate the Hyde Amendment altogether and open the door for funding abortion on demand. To avoid this outcome, the Hyde Amendment was rewritten in a new format and the exceptions were expanded beyond “life of the mother” to cases of rape or incest. This wording of the Hyde Amendment then became law: None of the funds appropriated under this Act shall be expended for any abortion except when it is made known to the federal entity or official to which funds are appropriated under this Act that such procedure is necessary to save the life of the mother or that the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest. ** p.1 * In 2004, Reps. Henry Hyde and Dave Weldon (R-FL) offered what is known as the Hyde/Weldon Conscience Protection Amendment, which was enacted into law as part of the Fiscal Year 2005 Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Public Law 108-447). The amendment protects health care providers from gaps in the law that could be used to force all health care providers to participate in abortion. ** p.2 * As found in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (H.R. 2764), signed into law December 26, 2007 (Public Law 110-161), the text of the Hyde Amendment law reads as follows: SEC. 507. (a) None of the funds appropriated in this Act, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are appropriated under this Act, shall be expended for any abortion. ** p.2 * SEC. 508. (a) The limitation established in the preceding section shall not apply to an abortion-<br> (1) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or <br> (2) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed. ** p.2 * [M]ost Americans agree with the Hyde Amendment and other abortion funding restrictions. Numerous polls show that people are not in favor of the government using tax dollars to fund abortions. For example, a CBS/New York Times poll of 1,368 adults in 1993 illustrated to the nation that 72% of Americans do not want to see their tax dollars being used for abortions. A Zogby International poll in 2004 showed that 74% of Americans oppose the use of public funds to pay for abortions. ** p.3 * According to an estimate by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the cost to the federal government of funding poor women’s abortions in FY 1994 if the Hyde Amendment were repealed would have been between $62.5 million and $75 million for 312,000 abortions. This estimate is very low. Others estimate that 500,000 or more abortions would have been funded by Medicaid in FY 1994 if the Hyde Amendment were repealed. ** p.3 * In 1993, Congress added to the Hyde Amendment funding for abortion also in cases of rape or incest. The laws and policies of many states traditionally allowed funding for abortion only when the mother’s life was in danger. President Clinton said he would interpret the Medicaid statute to permit but not require state funding of abortion in the additional cases of rape or incest. But after Congress passed the revised Hyde Amendment, he reversed his interpretation and insisted that states must fund all abortions that are eligible for federal funds. He also interpreted the “rape and incest” standard very broadly, so an abortionist could claim reimbursement even if no rape or incest had ever been reported to law enforcement or public health authorities. <br> As a result of the Clinton administration’s determination, several states were formally threatened with loss of all Medicaid funds unless they complied with the new federal standard, even if their own stricter policy against abortion funding was in their state constitutions. Some of these states’ laws had even been passed by public referendum. At the time the Clinton administration set this mandate, 32 states had laws prohibiting public funding for abortion except in cases where the life of the mother would be endangered. Battles over coercing the states raged in federal and state courts. Many states were forced to fund abortions against their will; some courts invalidated state laws in their entirety, requiring states to fund abortions without meaningful restriction. As of 1998, every state engaged in a law suit had lost in court. The outcome is that the states must now comply with the Clinton Administration mandate. ** p.3 * Prior to 1976, the federal Medicaid program paid for about 300,000 abortions a year. However, after the Hyde Amendment went into effect for FY 1977, the funding levels dropped dramatically. In FY 1977, 182,000 abortions were funded. In FY 1986, the number was 232; in FY 2000, 109; in FY 2004, 159. ** p.3 * Several studies, conducted in states where both state and federal Medicaid abortion funding has been cut off, have indicated that there is no increase in the numbers of illegal abortions. One of these studies was conducted by the Texas Department of Health in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control. The results were published in the CDC’s June 8, 1980 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The study concluded: <br> The present study in Texas found more than one-third of the legal abortions expected among Medicaid-eligible women were not obtained in the post funding restriction period. The data cited from the present study are consistent with those from a previous investigation in Texas, which found approximately 40% of the expected number of subsidized abortions were not being obtained in the interval after the funding restriction . . . In Texas, pregnant, low-income women who do not have federal or state funds for abortions do not appear to be resorting to illegal abortions to terminate unwanted pregnancies . . . These findings are consistent with those from a national monitoring system, which also could not document that the restriction of public funds for abortion caused a large percentage of Medicaid-eligible women to choose self-induced or non-physician-induced abortions. ** p.3-4 * Pro-abortion advocates claim that because wealthy women can easily pay for an abortion, it is the government’s duty to pay for abortions for women who cannot afford them. But it does not improve the circumstances of the poor to help them kill their children simply because the wealthy may do so. Abortion is itself the most severe form of discrimination, since it is aimed at the most helpless and takes away the most fundamental right, the right to life. Public funds are better directed to efforts that really help poor women and their children. <br> Furthermore, a Wirthlin Poll of May 1992 found that people making less than $15,000 per year oppose tax-funded abortions 2 to 1 (63% to 32%). The wealthier, earning more than $60,000 per year, support funding by a margin of 57% to 41%. Thus, the very group that would allegedly benefit from certain tax-funded abortions rejects the idea of using public money for the procedure. When abortion is publicly funded, the poor are offered the abortions favored by the rich. ** p.4 * Proponents of public funding have employed the grotesque argument that Medicaid abortion funding is cheaper than childbirth. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, argues that: <br> If public funds are not available to pay for abortions, a far greater amount of money will be spent to provide maternity care, medical care for the infant . . . and nutritional assistance to women on Medicaid. (Abortion and Women’s Health). <br> This cost-benefit analysis of the worth of human life is degrading and absurd. It establishes a frightening precedent for looking at a human life not as something precious but simply as an economic commodity. As columnist William Raspberry wrote, “It also costs less to kill children than to educate them, but that’s hardly a persuasive argument for infanticide.” ** p.4 * Pro-abortion advocates have long sought to make abortion not only legal but funded to the greatest extent possible. Since the Supreme Court has defined “health” so broadly in the context of abortion to include social and emotional “well-being” (Doe v. Bolton), abortion advocates try to insert “health” or “medically necessary” into abortion funding policies in order to eliminate all meaningful restrictions on public funding. As the National Abortion Rights Action League puts it, “medically necessary” is “a term which generally includes the broadest range of situations for which a state will fund abortion.” (Who Decides? A Reproductive Rights Issues Manual, NARAL, 1990). <br> Even more ominous than the expansion of Medicaid funding for abortion on demand was the proposal during 1994 to mandate abortion coverage in every American’s health insurance policy through a national health care plan. While most of the reform bills offered in Congress mandated abortion coverage, none of the measures passed. ** p.4 === "Louisiana's Democratic governor signs abortion ban into law" (May 30, 2019) === <small> [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/louisiana-s-democratic-governor-signs-abortion-ban-law-n1012196 "Louisiana's Democratic governor signs abortion ban into law"]. ''NBC News''. Associated Press. May 30, 2019. </small> * BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana's Democratic governor signed a ban on abortion as early as six weeks of pregnancy Thursday, a move that puts him squarely in line with the leaders of other conservative Southern states while provoking anger from members of his own party. <br> With his signature, Gov. John Bel Edwards made Louisiana the fifth state to enact a law prohibiting abortion when a fetal heartbeat is detected, joining Mississippi, Kentucky, Ohio and Georgia. Alabama's gone further, outlawing virtually all abortions . * The bill's signing, however, won't limit the state's three abortion clinics anytime soon. Louisiana's law takes effect only if the law in neighboring Mississippi, which was recently blocked by a judge , is upheld by a federal appeals court. <br> Edwards, a Catholic running for reelection this year, didn't hold a public bill signing, instead announcing his action through his office. He had repeatedly said he intended to sign the measure, citing his faith and saying his views match those of people in his conservative, religious state, who he described as "overwhelmingly pro-life." <br> Louisiana legislators overwhelmingly supported the ban , with a 79-23 House vote and 31-5 Senate vote. * Louisiana's law includes an exception from the abortion ban to prevent the pregnant woman's death or "a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" — or if the pregnancy is deemed "medically futile." But it does not include an exception for a pregnancy caused by rape or incest, drawing criticism that the law forces continued trauma on women who have been victimized. <br> Under the bill, a doctor who violates the prohibition could face a prison sentence of up to two years, along with medical license revocation. * The abortion-rights debates that divide state Capitols across the nation cause fewer ripples in the Louisiana Legislature. It is one of the country's most staunchly anti-abortion states, with a law on the books that immediately outlaws abortion if Roe v. Wade is ever overturned. State lawmakers annually enact new regulations seeking to curb access with bipartisan support. <br> Louisiana's latest abortion ban won support from many Democrats and was sponsored by Democratic Sen. John Milkovich, from northwest Louisiana. <br> Although Edwards is rarity in the national Democratic Party, he's consistently run as an anti-abortion candidate. When he ran for governor in 2015, his campaign had a prominent TV ad that showed his wife, Donna, describing being advised to have an abortion because of their daughter's spinal birth defect. The Edwardses refused, and the ad showed a grown-up Samantha. <br> The bill signing from Edwards, who faces two Republicans on the ballot this fall, is expected to help shore up his position with some voters at home, even if it puts him at odds with national Democratic Party leaders and donors. <br> Still, the governor faced an outcry of anger on social media from Democrats who objected to his support for the abortion ban. * The chair of Louisiana's Democratic Party, Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, has been regularly slamming the bill. She's posted opposition messages on Twitter, such as: "Roe vs. Wade should be respected not undermined! Right to privacy!" But she hasn't directly criticized Edwards by name, and the party is supporting him for reelection. <br> The governor was reluctant to address the abortion ban on Thursday. “The bill has been signed and I’m not going to get into that further today,” Edwards told NBC News. === "Men, Women Generally Hold Similar Abortion Attitudes" (June 14, 2018) === <small> Frank Newport, [https://news.gallup.com/poll/235646/men-women-generally-hold-similar-abortion-attitudes.aspx "Men, Women Generally Hold Similar Abortion Attitudes"].

A Gallup analysis shows that differences in views on the legality of abortion between men and women have been relatively narrow for decades, going back to the 1970s. Additionally, there are only slight differences in men's and women's descriptions of themselves as pro-choice or pro-life. <br> Gallup's 2010 comprehensive analysis of gender differences in views of abortion concluded, "Over the past three decades, men and women have consistently held similar views about the extent to which abortion should be legal." The current update, adding in data for the years 2010-2018, shows a continuation of this same general pattern. * Since 1990, the average gender difference in the view that abortion should be legal in all circumstances is four percentage points, with women more likely than men to hold that attitude. For the past four years, an average of 31% of women and 26% of men have held this view. <br> Gender differences in the view that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances are even smaller, with an average gap of two points since 1990. For the past four years, there has been no difference, with 19% of both men and women saying that abortion should be totally illegal. <br> The modal choice for both men and women is the view that abortion should be legal, but only in certain circumstances. Men have been slightly more likely than women to hold this view since the 1980s, including by a five-point average difference over the past four years. * There is a narrow gender gap in Americans' descriptions of themselves as either pro-choice or pro-life. Gallup began asking this question annually in 2001 as part of Gallup's Values and Beliefs survey, and since that time, men have been slightly more likely than women to choose the pro-life descriptor. The gap has been between three and four points since 2010 -- including the most recent period from 2015-2018, with 47% of men and 44% of women choosing the pro-life label. <br> The slight male edge in identification as pro-life reflects women becoming slightly more pro-choice in recent years, with 50% of women and 46% of men choosing the pro-choice label over the past four years. Similarly small differences were evident in previous years, including an even tie in self-descriptions as pro-choice between 2005 and 2009. <br> The net result of these attitudes is that men are divided in their self-identification -- 47% pro-life and 46% pro-choice, while women tilt toward describing themselves as pro-choice, 50% to 44%. * Educational attainment is a significant predictor of Americans' position on abortion, with college graduates more likely than those with less education to favor abortion being legal in all circumstances. <br> There has been and continues to be a significant gender gap on this measure among college graduates, with female graduates more likely than male graduates to favor abortion being legal in all circumstances. This pattern has been constant over the past decades, despite modest fluctuations in the overall percentages favoring legalized abortion. Most recently, over the past four years, 42% of female college graduates have chosen the "legal in all" alternative, versus 32% of male college graduates. === "In Texas, Oklahoma, Women Turned Away Because Of Coronavirus Abortion Bans" (4/2/2020) === <small> [https://www.npr.org/2020/04/02/826369859/in-texas-oklahoma-women-turned-away-because-of-coronavirus-abortion-bans "In Texas, Oklahoma, Women Turned Away Because Of Coronavirus Abortion Bans"]. NPR.org. </small> * The doors at the Trust Women clinic in Oklahoma City were locked on Tuesday, when the young woman arrived for her appointment. Over the phone, a clinic worker told her the news – the facility had to shut down because of an order from Gov. Kevin Stitt banning most abortions. <br> "And immediately I just, like, broke down," she said. "I just lost my job because of the coronavirus. I already have a 10-month-old daughter. I don't know what I'm gonna do, you know?" <br> "M" asked us not use her full name because she's concerned about how her family would react to her seeking an abortion. She's 30, with two kids. She said she lost her job in the retail industry a couple of weeks ago after business suddenly vanished. <br> "M" said she was able to get an appointment for the next day at a clinic in Wichita, Kan. She doesn't have a reliable car, so a friend drove her there – a two-and-a-half-hour trip each way. <br> "There were so many people there from so many different states, and I only think about how many couldn't make it," she said. * Republican officials in several states are trying to ban abortion during the coronavirus crisis. They say the procedure should be suspended during the pandemic, except for emergencies, to help preserve medical supplies like surgical masks and hospital gowns. <br> Federal courts have blocked such orders in Ohio and Alabama. Officials in Iowa agreed to allow doctors to determine when an abortion is needed. A federal court briefly blocked a ban in Texas, before that decision was overturned on appeal. Litigation is ongoing. * Reproductive rights groups say hundreds of patients have been turned away in Texas, and in Oklahoma. <br> Becca Walker, a counselor at Southwestern Women's Surgery Center in Dallas, said many patients "panic" when they hear the news that their procedures are being cancelled. She said some patients are particularly afraid of being pregnant during a pandemic. <br> "Sometimes you're just guiding them through breathing on the phone because it's such a moment of panic and crisis for them," Walker said. "And then you just have to give them the referral, and the next referral is not good news." * Abortion rights opponents argue the bans are necessary and appropriate during a pandemic. <br> "We are setting aside all kinds of what would otherwise be considered essential healthcare – I would say more essential healthcare than abortion, certainly – cancer screenings," said Dr. Christina Francis, an OB/GYN in Indiana and board chair at the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists. <br> "Abortion is not essential healthcare; it doesn't treat a disease process," Francis said. "It's a social solution, and there are other solutions that we can provide to women who find themselves in very scary and uncertain circumstances right now." * Many doctors say denying an abortion can put patients at risk. The American Medical Association released a statement accusing some elected officials of "exploiting this moment," and saying the decision should be left to patients and doctors. * Dr. Bhavik Kumar, who provides abortion services at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Houston, said in the midst of a pandemic, many patients seeking abortions feel desperate enough to consider dangerous home remedies. <br> "The scary part is a lot of my patients are asking us what they can do themselves, how they can use things at home, different herbs or vitamins or objects to help them not be pregnant," Kumar said. "They are scared." === "While some states try to ban abortion, these states are expanding access" (June 12, 2019) === <small> North, Anna (June 12, 2019). [https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/6/12/18662738/abortion-bill-illinois-maine-laws-new-york "While some states try to ban abortion, these states are expanding access"]. Vox. </small> * [E]arlier this month, Maine’s Democratic Gov. Janet Mills signed into law a bill that will actually expand abortion access in the state by allowing nurse practitioners and physician assistants, not just doctors, to perform the procedure. As clinics in other states are at risk of closing, the Maine law will increase the number of clinics able to perform abortions. <br> Soon after, Mills signed a second bill that will require public and private insurance plans in the state to cover abortion. Meanwhile, last week, New York City officials announced that they would allocate $250,000 to pay for low-income patients to get abortions. <br> These moves are part of a bigger trend, as legislators and advocates in blue states back legislation to lift abortion restrictions. These laws are still outnumbered by anti-abortion bills, but they’re becoming more and more common — about a quarter of the provisions to expand abortion access since 2011 have passed in the past three weeks alone, according to an analysis by FiveThirtyEight. * In years past, “states did not feel the threat to abortion rights and did not want to expend the political capital to pass these laws,” Elizabeth Nash, senior state issues manager at the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit focused on reproductive health policy research, told Vox. But with Donald Trump in the White House, Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, and a potential challenge to Roe v. Wade on the horizon, that’s changing. Now states like Maine, Illinois, and Vermont are taking steps to shore up abortion access, with the understanding that federal protections for the procedure may soon be under threat. * Mills, the state’s first female governor, on June 10 signed LD 1261, which allows nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other trained medical providers to perform abortions. Previously, only physicians could perform abortions in Maine. <br> Opponents of the measure said it would put patients at risk, according to the Portland Press-Herald. But research shows that advanced practice clinicians, a category that includes physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse midwives, provide the same level of abortion care as doctors, Nash said. <br> The measure could increase the number of clinics performing aspiration abortion, the most common type of in-clinic procedure, from three to 18, according to ThinkProgress. The law will have an especially big impact on Maine’s many rural residents, who may live far away from clinics staffed by doctors, Nash said. * A few days later, Mills signed another bill, this one requiring all public and private insurance plans that cover prenatal care to cover abortion as well. Previously, Maine’s state Medicaid program, MaineCare, only covered abortion in cases of rape, incest, or a threat to the pregnant patient’s life. <br> Opponents of taxpayer funding for abortion criticized the bill, according to the Associated Press, but reproductive rights groups applauded its passage, saying it would expand access to abortion for low-income patients. <br> “As states like Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri are in a race to the bottom to ban abortion and put politics over the lives and well-being of women and their families, Maine has recognized that no one should be denied coverage for abortion care just because they’re poor,” said Destiny Lopez, co-director of All* Above All, a group that advocates for public insurance for abortion, in a statement when the bill was signed. * New York’s Reproductive Health Act, passed in January, has gotten a lot of attention because it allows abortions after 24 weeks if the fetus is not viable or there is a threat to the mother’s health. Opponents have cast this provision as extremism on the part of Democrats, but supporters of the measure say it is necessary because previous New York law forced patients to travel out of state and pay thousands of dollars to obtain an abortion when they were seriously ill or carrying a fetus that could not survive after birth. <br> The Reproductive Health Act, like the Maine law, also allows advanced practice clinicians to perform abortions. Though it’s gotten less attention, abortion law experts say this provision may affect even more patients than the one affecting abortions later in pregnancy. “Most abortions do take place earlier in pregnancy,” Nash said, “and if you expand the pool of providers, then that potentially has more of an impact.” <br> Still, she added, “these protections work together to make sure people have access.” * Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on June 12 signed into law the state’s Reproductive Health Act, which makes reproductive health care, including abortion, contraception, and maternity care, a fundamental right in the state, according to Guttmacher. The law protects access to abortion up to viability (which experts say is around 24 weeks’ gestation) and after that if deemed medically necessary by a doctor. The change ensures that abortion will remain legal in Illinois even if Roe v. Wade, which established the right to an abortion nationwide in 1973, is overturned. <br> The law also requires public and private insurance plans in the state to cover abortion, and allows advanced practice nurses and physician assistants to provide the procedure. <br> Anti-abortion groups have criticized the new law. “While a growing number of states are working to advance popular pro-life laws, Illinois is trying to outdo New York’s abortion extremism — and unborn children and their mothers will pay the price,” Jill Stanek, the national campaign chair for the Susan B. Anthony List, told the Chicago Sun-Times. <br> But doctors and reproductive rights advocates have praised the legislation. “This landmark legislation means that an individual’s health, not politics, will govern decision-making,” Erica Hinz, an OB-GYN in Illinois and a fellow with the group Physicians for Reproductive Health, said in a statement on Wednesday. * Republican Gov. Phil Scott on June 10 signed into law a bill that, like the Illinois law, makes abortion and other reproductive health care a fundamental right in the state. The Vermont law goes beyond the Illinois measure because it protects abortion access throughout pregnancy, including after viability, Nash said. * On June 19, Rhode Island joined New York, Illinois, and Vermont in codifying the right to an abortion in state law. The Reproductive Privacy Act, signed by Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo, prohibits the state government from interfering with a patient’s decision to get an abortion before viability. After viability, abortion is prohibited except where necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person, according to the Boston Globe. * The Trust Nevada Women Act, signed by Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in May, removes a number of restrictions on abortion. It gets rid of a requirement that doctors tell patients about the “emotional implications” of an abortion, eliminates criminal penalties for patients who perform their own abortion without the advice of a doctor, and removes a requirement that doctors ask about a patient’s age and marital status before performing the procedure. <br> “With our reproductive rights under constant attack across the country, we are proud that Nevada legislators voted to ensure that Nevada women and families are able to make the best decisions for their health and well-being,” said Caroline Mello Roberson, the state director of NARAL Pro-Choice Nevada, which advocated for the law, in a statement last month. * In addition to these laws, legislation to expand or protect abortion access is under consideration or could be forthcoming in Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington, and Oregon, Nash said. “There could be momentum going into 2020.” === "Banning abortion, more Texas towns become 'sanctuary cities for the unborn'" (January 16, 2020) === <small> Parke, Caleb (January 16, 2020). [https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-abortion-city-sanctuary "Banning abortion, more Texas towns become 'sanctuary cities for the unborn'"]. Fox News. Retrieved January 23, 2020. </small> * Starting last June with the city of Waskom, a total of eight cities have now declared themselves "sanctuary cities for the unborn." <br> On Monday, Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas, pitched to Jacksboro; then on Tuesday, Colorado City and Big Spring, which is awaiting a second vote later this month. OnThursday night, he is headed to Gary, in east Texas. <br> "We are preparing our cities for the overturning of Roe [v. Wade]," Dickson told Fox News on the phone, during his seven-hour drive from Big Spring to Gary, "But at the same time, it's completely right to say abortion is outlawed in these cities." * Abortion rights advocates argue the ordinances are dangerous and misleading to the public. <br> "This extreme proposal is a tactic for abortion opponents to score political points and mislead Texans about their rights," Kamyon Conner, executive director of the Texas Equal Access Fund, told the Texas Tribune. "Access to reproductive care and abortion allows individuals and families to receive the support needed to thrive in our state." * But Dickson says there are immediate consequences to the ordinances regardless of whether or not Roe gets overturned. <br> "To say we can't ban abortion is simply not true," Dickson argues that cities ban "legal" things all the time – from straws to smoking – in reference to Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, both of which would have to be overturned by the Supreme Court in order for the ordinance to take full effect. <br> Until then, however, Dickson said family members can sue an abortionist or anyone who aides an abortion within city limits, but no action can be taken against the mother herself. <br> "We're passing laws because resolutions do not prevent abortion clinics from coming into cities, but ordinances, a law put in place, will." <br> Three cities – Mineral Wells, Omaha and Jacksboro – have turned down the ordinance because of the threat of legal action or on advice from city lawyers, but that hasn't stopped Dickson. * "This is a strong stance that babies will not be murdered in our cities," Dickson said. "We need to stand up with our leaders in bringing this Holocaust to an end once and for all." === "Abortion surveillance - United States, 2009" (November 23, 2012) === <small> Pazol, Karen; Creanga, Andreea A.; Zane, Suzanne B.; Burley, Kim D.; Jamieson, Denise J; Division of Reproductive Health (November 23, 2012). "Abortion surveillance - United States, 2009" (PDF). MMWR Surveillance Summaries. 61 (8): 1–44. </small> * Results: A total of 784,507 abortions were reported to CDC for 2009. Of these abortions, 772,630 (98.5%) were from the 45 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2000–2009. Among these same 45 reporting areas, the abortion rate for 2009 was 15.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 227 abortions per 1,000 live births. Compared with 2008, the total number and rate of reported abortions for 2009 decreased 5%, representing the largest single year decrease for the entire period of analysis. The abortion ratio decreased 2%. From 2000 to 2009, the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions decreased 6%, 7%, and 8%, respectively, to the lowest levels for 2000–2009. <br> In 2009 and throughout the period of analysis, women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions and had the highest abortion rates, whereas women aged ≥30 years accounted for a much smaller percentage of abortions and had lower abortion rates. In 2009, women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years accounted for 32.7% and 24.4% of all abortions, respectively, and had an abortion rate of 27.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 years and 20.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 25–29 years. In contrast, women aged 30–34, 35–39, and ≥40 years accounted for 14.7%, 8.8%, and 3.3% of all abortions, respectively, and had an abortion rate of 13.3 abortions per 1,000 women aged 30–34 years, 7.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 35–39 years, and 2.7 abortions per 1,000 women aged ≥40 years. Throughout the period of analysis, abortion rates decreased among women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, whereas they increased among women aged ≥40 years. <br> In 2009, adolescents aged 15–19 years accounted for 15.5% of all abortions and had an abortion rate of 13.0 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 15–19 years. Throughout the period of analysis, the percentage of all abortions accounted for by adolescents and the adolescent abortion rate decreased. <br> In contrast to the percentage distribution of abortions and abortion rates by age, abortion ratios in 2009 and throughout the entire period of analysis were highest among adolescents and lowest among women aged 30–39 years. Abortion ratios decreased from 2000 to 2009 for women in all age groups except for those aged <15 years, for whom they increased. <br>In 2009, most (64.0%) abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, and 91.7% were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. Few abortions (7.0%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (1.3%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. From 2000 to 2009, the percentage of all abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation increased 12%, whereas the percentage performed at >13 weeks’ decreased 12%. Moreover, among abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, the distribution shifted toward earlier gestational ages, with the percentage of these abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increasing 47%. <br> In 2009, 74.2% of abortions were performed by curettage at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, 16.5% were performed by early medical abortion (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation), and 8.1% were performed by curettage at >13 weeks’ gestation. ** p.1 * Among abortions that were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation and thus were eligible for early medical abortion, 25.2% were completed by this method. The use of early medical abortion increased 10% from 2008 to 2009. <br> Deaths of women associated with complications from abortions for 2009 are being investigated under CDC’s Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System. In 2008, the most recent year for which data were available, 12 women were reported to have died as a result of complications from known legal induced abortions. No reported deaths were associated with known illegal induced abortions. <br> Interpretation: Among the 45 areas that reported data every year during 2000–2009, the gradual decrease that had occurred during previous decades in the total number and rate of reported abortions continued through 2005, whereas year-to-year variation from 2006 to 2008 resulted in no net change during this later period. However, the change from 2008 to 2009 for both the total number of abortions and the abortion rate was the largest single year decrease during 2000–2009, and all three measures of abortion (total numbers, rates, and ratios) decreased to the lowest level observed during this period. <br> Public Health Actions: Unintended pregnancy is the major contributor to abortion. Because unintended pregnancies are rare among women who use the most effective methods of reversible contraception, increasing access to and use of these methods can help further reduce the number of abortions performed in the United States. The data in this report can help program planners and policy makers identify groups of women at greatest risk for unintended pregnancy and help guide and evaluate prevention efforts. ** p.2 * This report is based on abortion data for 2000–2009 that were provided voluntarily to CDC by the central health agencies of 48 reporting areas (the District of Columbia; New York City; and 46 states, excluding California, Delaware, Maryland, and New Hampshire). Since 1969, CDC has conducted abortion surveillance to document the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions in the United States. Following nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973, the total number, rate (number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and ratio (number of abortions per 1,000 live births) of reported abortions increased rapidly, reaching the highest levels in the 1980s before decreasing at a slow yet steady pace. However, the incidence of abortion has varied considerably across demographic subpopulations, and recent reports through 2008 have suggested that the sustained pattern of decrease has leveled off. Continued surveillance is needed to monitor long-term changes in the incidence of abortion in the United States. ** p.2 * In most states, collection of abortion data is facilitated by the legal requirement for hospitals, facilities, and physicians to report abortions to a central health agency. These central health agencies voluntarily provide CDC aggregate numbers for the abortion data they have collected. <br> Although reporting to CDC is voluntary, most reporting areas do provide aggregate abortion numbers: during 2000–2009, a total of 45 reporting areas provided CDC a continuous annual record of abortion numbers,† and in 2009, CDC obtained aggregate abortion numbers from 48 reporting areas (excludes California, Delaware, Maryland, and New Hampshire). However, the level of detail that CDC receives on the characteristics of women obtaining abortions varies considerably from year to year and among reporting areas. To encourage more uniform collection of these details, CDC has developed a model reporting form to serve as a technical guide (18). However, because the collection of abortion data is not federally mandated, many reporting areas have developed their own forms and do not collect all the information that CDC compiles. ** p.2 * Among the 48 reporting areas that provided data for 2009, a total of 784,507 abortions were reported. Of these abortions, 772,630 (98.5%) were from the 45 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2000–2009. These same 45 areas had an abortion rate of 15.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and an abortion ratio of 227 abortions per 1,000 live births. Compared with 2008, the total number of abortions reported for the same 45 areas decreased 5% (from 810,403); the abortion rate for these areas also decreased 5% (from 15.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 2% (from 232 abortions per 1,000 live births). From 2000 to 2009, the total number of reported abortions decreased 6% (from 826,123), the abortion rate decreased 7% (from 16.2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 8% (from 248 abortions per 1,000 live births). For both the total number and rate of abortions, the change from 2008 to 2009 was the largest single year decrease during the entire period of analysis. Moreover, for all three measures of abortion, the annual rate of decrease fitted from the regression analysis was greater during 2005–2009 than during 2000–2004. During 2005–2009, the number of reported abortions decreased by 7,538 abortions per year, the abortion rate decreased by 0.12 abortions per 1,000 women per year, and the abortion ratio decreased by 2.2 abortions per 1,000 live births per year. In contrast, during 2000–2004, the number of reported abortions decreased by 3,128 abortions per year, the abortion rate decreased by 0.06 abortions per 1,000 women per year, and the abortion ratio decreased by 1.8 abortions per 1,000 live births per year. ** p.5 * Abortion numbers, rates, and ratios have been calculated by individual state or reporting area of occurrence and the residence of the women who obtained the abortions. By occurrence, a considerable range existed in the total number of reported abortions (ranging from 769 in South Dakota to 119,996 in New York, including New York City and New York State combined), the abortion rate (ranging from 4.0 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in Mississippi to 29.8 in New York [city and state combined]), and the abortion ratio (ranging from 57 abortions per 1,000 live births in Mississippi to 484 in New York [city and state combined]). Similarly, a considerable range existed by residence††† in the total number of reported abortions (ranging from 782 in Wyoming to 115,629 in New York [city and state combined]), the abortion rate (ranging from 5.7 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in Utah to 28.7 in New York§§§ [city and state combined]), and the abortion ratio (ranging from 64 abortions per 1,000 live births in Utah to 466 in New York [city and state combined]). Because of the substantial variation that also occurred among reporting areas in the percentage of abortions obtained by out-of-state residents (ranging from none in Wyoming to 51.8% in the District of Columbia), abortion rates and ratios calculated by maternal residence might provide a more accurate reflection of population trends. However, these measures must be viewed with caution because states vary in the level of detail they collect on maternal residence and as a result, 11.4% of abortions were reported without a state, territory, reporting area, or country of maternal residence. ** p.5 * Among the 45 areas that reported by maternal age for 2009, women aged 20–29 years accounted for the majority (57.1%) of abortions and had the highest abortion rates (27.4 and 20.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively) (Figure 2, Table 3). Women in the youngest and oldest age groups (aged <15 or ≥40 years) accounted for the smallest percentage of abortions (0.5% and 3.3%, respectively) and had the lowest abortion rates (1.1 and 2.7 abortions per 1,000 women aged <15 and ≥40 years, respectively). Among the 42 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2000–2009, this pattern across age groups was stable, with the majority of abortions and the highest abortion rates occurring among women aged 20–29 years and the lowest percentages of abortions and abortion rates occurring among women in the youngest and oldest age groups. However, from 2000 to 2009 the abortion rate and percentage of abortions accounted for by younger women decreased, whereas the abortion rate and percentage of abortions accounted for by older women increased. Among women aged <30 years, abortion rates decreased both from 2000 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2009; decreases from 2008 to 2009 were greater than in any other year during the period of analysis (6%–8%). In contrast, among women aged ≥40 years, abortion rates increased both from 2001 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2009. Among women aged 30–39 years, abortion rates varied more from year to year, resulting in little overall change: although abortion rates increased among women aged 35–39 years from 2000 to 2004 this increase did not continue from 2005 to 2009. <br> In contrast to the percentage distribution of abortion numbers and abortion rates, abortion ratios in 2009 were highest among adolescents aged ≤19 years and lowest among women aged 30–39 years. Among the 42 reporting areas that provided data for every year during 2000–2009, abortion ratios decreased among all women aged ≥15 years. For most age groups ≥15 years, abortion ratios decreased both from 2000 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2009. However for women aged 15–19 years, abortion ratios increased from 2000 to 2004 before they decreased from 2005 to 2009; among women aged 35–39 years abortion ratios decreased from 2000 to 2004 but not from 2005 to 2009. ** pp.5-6 * Among the 42 areas that reported age by individual year among adolescents for 2009, the adolescent abortion rate was 9.7 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged ≤19 years. Adolescents aged 18–19 years accounted for the majority (63.9%) of adolescent abortions and had the highest adolescent abortion rates (18.4 and 22.9 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 18 and 19 years, respectively); adolescents aged <15 years accounted for the smallest percentage of adolescent abortions (3.0%) and had the lowest adolescent abortion rate (1.0 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged <15 years). Among the 39 reporting areas that provided data for adolescents by individual year of age every year during 2000–2009, this pattern across age groups was stable, with older adolescents consistently accounting for the largest percentage of adolescent abortions and having the highest abortion rates (Table 6). Although the percentage of abortions accounted for by adolescents aged 19 years increased from 2000 to 2009, abortion rates decreased among adolescents of all ages, and these decreases occurred both from 2000 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2009. For adolescents in all age groups, the decrease in the abortion rate from 2008 to 2009 was the largest single year change during the entire period of analysis. <br> The adolescent abortion ratio for 2009 was 326 abortions per 1,000 live births. Adolescent abortion ratios decreased with increasing age and were lowest among adolescents aged 19 years (Table 5). Among the 39 reporting areas that provided data for adolescents by individual year of age for every year during 2000–2009, abortion ratios among all adolescents aged >15 years were lower in 2009 than they had been in 2000, with the greatest decreases occurring among adolescents aged 18–19 years. For all adolescents aged 15–19 years this decrease occurred almost exclusively from 2005 to 2009 and not from 2000 to 2004. ** p.6 * Among the 39 areas that reported gestational age at the time of abortion for 2009, the majority (64.0%) of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, and 91.7% were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation. Few abortions (7.0%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (1.3%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. Among the 30 reporting areas that provided data on gestational age every year during 2000–2009 (Table 8), the percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation increased only slightly. However, within this gestational age range, a shift occurred toward earlier gestational ages, with abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation increasing 12%. The percentage increase in abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ was greatest from 2000 to 2004 but continued from 2005 to 2009. Throughout the period of analysis, the percentage of abortions performed at >13 weeks’ gestation remained low (<10%), and abortions performed at ≥16 weeks’ gestation decreased 13%–22% from 2000 to 2009. <br> Among the subset of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation in 2009, 35.2% were performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation, and 34.6% were performed at 7–8 weeks’ gestation. Among the remaining abortions at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, the percentage contribution was progressively lower for each additional week of gestation: 10.2% were performed at 9 weeks’ gestation, whereas 3.0% were performed at 13 weeks’ gestation. Among the 30 areas that reported by the exact week of gestational age for every year during 2000–2009, the percentage of abortions shifted over time toward earlier gestational ages: among abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation, those that were performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increased 47%, whereas the percentage performed at 7–13 weeks’ gestation decreased up to 26% (Table 10); the percentage increase in abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ was greatest from 2000 to 2004, but this increase continued from 2005 to 2009. ** pp.6-7 * Among the 38 areas that reported by method type for 2009 and included medical abortion on their reporting form for medical providers, 74.2% of abortions were performed by curettage at ≤13 weeks’ gestation; 16.5% were performed by early medical (nonsurgical) abortion, 8.1% were performed by curettage at >13 weeks’ gestation, and all other methods were uncommon. Among the 27 reporting areas that included medical abortion on their reporting form and provided this data for all 3 years of comparison (2001, the first full year following FDA approval of mifepristone for use in early medical abortion, as well as 2008 and 2009), the use of early medical abortion increased 10% from 2008 to 2009 and approximately 350% from 2001 to 2009 (from 3.4% of abortions in 2001 to 13.8% in 2008 and 15.2% in 2009). In contrast, use of curettage at ≤13 weeks’ gestation decreased 2% from 2008 to 2009 and 14% from 2001 to 2009 (from 87.3% of abortions in 2001 to 76.7% in 2008 and 75.5% in 2009). Use of curettage at >13 weeks’ gestation was stable from 2001 to 2008 but decreased 5% from 2008 to 2009 (from 8.6% of abortions in 2001 and in 2008 to 8.2% in 2009). All other methods consistently accounted for a small percentage of abortions (0.04%–0.9%). ** p.7 * Among the 29 areas that reported cross-classified race/ethnicity data for 2009, non-Hispanic white women and non-Hispanic black women accounted for the largest percentages of abortions (37.7% and 35.4%, respectively), whereas Hispanic women and non-Hispanic women in the other races category accounted for smaller percentages (20.6% and 6.3%, respectively). Non-Hispanic white women had the lowest abortion rates (8.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratios (140 abortions per 1,000 live births), whereas non-Hispanic black women had the highest abortion rates (32.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratios (477 abortions per 1,000 live births). Among the 24 areas that reported by race/ethnicity every year during 2007–2009, abortion rates decreased for all racial/ethnic groups. The abortion rate decreased 7% for non-Hispanic white women (from 9.1 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 8.5 in 2009) and 6% for Hispanic women (from 20.5 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 19.3 in 2009) but only 1% for non-Hispanic black women (from 34.6 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 34.2 in 2009). In contrast, abortion ratios decreased among non-Hispanic white women but not among women in any other racial/ethnic group. For non-Hispanic white women, the abortion ratio decreased 3% (from 143 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 138 in 2009), whereas the abortion ratio increased 4% for non-Hispanic black women (from 481 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 501 in 2009) and 2% for Hispanic women (from 192 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 195 in 2009). Data also are reported separately by race and by ethnicity for 2009 and for 2000–2009. ** p.7 * Among the 37 areas that reported marital status for 2009, 15.0% of all women who obtained abortions were married, and 85.0% were unmarried. For the 28 reporting areas that provided these data for the relevant years of comparison, the percentage of abortions accounted for by unmarried women increased 4% from 2000 to 2009 (from 81.6% in 2000 to 85.0% in 2009); an increase occurred both from 2000 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2009. ** p.7 * Data from the 36 areas that reported the number of previous live births for women who obtained abortions in 2009 show that 40.2%, 46.3%, and 13.6% of these women previously had zero, one to two, or three or more live births, respectively. Among the 29 reporting areas that provided these data for the relevant years of comparison, little change occurred in the distribution of abortions by the number of previous live births: the percentage of women who had zero previous live births was 39.7% in 2000 and 40.1% in 2009; the percentage of women who had one to two previous live births was 48.0% in 2000 and 46.4% in 2009; and the percentage of women who had three or more previous live births was 12.4% in 2000 and 13.5% in 2009. <br> Data from the 37 areas that reported the number of previous abortions for women obtaining abortions in 2009 show that the majority of women (55.3%) had not previously had an abortion; 36.6% had previously had either one to two abortions, and 8.1% had three or more abortions. Among the 30 reporting areas that provided data for the relevant years of comparison, the distribution of abortions by the number of previous abortions changed little: the percentage of women who had zero previous abortions was 55.0% in 2000 and 55.4% in 2009; the percentage of women who had one or two previous abortions was 37.3% in 2000 and 36.5% in 2009; and the percentage of women who had three or more previous abortions was 7.7% in 2000 and 8.2% in 2009. ** pp.7-8 * In some reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by maternal race and race/ethnicity were further categorized by maternal age and marital status. A consistent pattern existed for abortion by age across all racial and racial/ethnic groups, with the smallest percentage of abortions occurring among adolescents aged <15 years (0.3%–0.7%) and the largest percentage occurring among women aged 20–24 years (26.9%–33.8%). A consistent pattern also existed for abortion by marital status across all racial and racial/ethnic groups, with a higher percentage of abortions occurring among women who were unmarried (66.0%–91.3%) than among those who were married (8.7%–34.0%). However, although most abortions occurred among unmarried women in all racial/ethnic groups, this percentage was higher for non-Hispanic black women (90.6%) than it was for non-Hispanic white (83.3%) or Hispanic women (83.8%). ** p.8 * In some reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by weeks of gestation were further categorized by maternal age, race, and race/ethnicity. In every subgroup for these three variables, the largest percentage of abortions was obtained at ≤8 weeks’ gestation. However, whereas 46.5% of adolescents aged <15 years and 54.3% of adolescents aged 15–19 years obtained an abortion by ≤8 weeks’ gestation, 62.1%–71.2% of women aged ≥20 years obtained an abortion by this point in gestation (Figure 3; Table 22). Conversely, 19.0% of adolescents aged <15 years and 11.8% of adolescents 15–19 years obtained an abortion after 13 weeks’ gestation, whereas this percentage ranged from 6.5%–8.7% for adult women. By race/ethnicity, 58.4% of non-Hispanic black women obtained an abortion at ≤8 weeks’ gestation, whereas 66.5%–70.8% of women from other racial/ethnic groups obtained an abortion by this point in gestation. Non-Hispanic black women also obtained the highest percentage of abortions after 13 weeks’ gestation; however, differences across racial/ethnic groups were less apparent than differences across age groups. ** p.8 * Among abortions categorized by method type and gestational age, curettage accounted for the largest percentage of abortions within every gestational age category. At ≤8 weeks’ gestation, curettage accounted for a smaller percentage of abortions (74.5%) than at any other stage of gestation, and early medical abortion accounted for a comparatively high percentage of abortions (25.2%). At 9–17 weeks’ gestation, curettage accounted for 96.4%–98.3% of all abortions and then decreased to 94.7% of abortions at 18–20 weeks’ gestation and 91.4% of abortions at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. After the gestational age limit of ≤8 weeks’ gestation for early medical abortion, the use of medications to induce abortions through nonsurgical methods accounted for only 0.8%–2.9% of reported abortions at 9–20 weeks’ gestation and then increased to 6.9% of abortions at ≥21 weeks’ gestation. Throughout gestation, intrauterine instillations and abortions reported in the other methods category accounted for a small percentage (<0.01%–1.9%) of abortions. ** p.8 * Using national data from the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System, CDC identified 12 abortion-related deaths for 2008. These deaths were identified either by some indication of abortion on the death certificate, by reports from a health-care provider or public health agency, or from a media report. Investigation of these cases indicated that all 12 deaths were related to legal abortion and none to illegal abortion. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2004–2008 was 0.64 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal abortions. Possible abortion-related deaths that occurred during 2009–2012 are under investigation. ** p.8 * For 2009, a total of 784,507 abortions were reported. Of these abortions, 772,630 (98.5%) were from the 45 reporting areas that submitted data every year during 2000–2009, thus providing the information necessary for evaluating trends. These 45 areas had an abortion rate of 15.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and an abortion ratio of 227 abortions per 1,000 live births. Comparing 2008 with 2009, this represents the largest single-year decrease in the total number (a decrease of 5% from 810,403) and rate (a decrease of 5% from 15.9 abortions per 1,000 women) of reported abortions. Because of the size of the decreases that occurred from 2008 to 2009 for all three measures of abortion, the overall decrease in the total number, rate and ratio was greater during 2005–2009 than during 2000–2004. Hence, although recent variations had resulted in a leveling off from sustained decreases observed in the past, with no net decrease in the total number or rate of abortions occurring from 2005 to 2008, all three measures of abortion decreased in 2009 to the lowest level observed during the entire period of analysis. <br> In addition to highlighting changes that occurred among all women of reproductive age, this report highlights important age differences in abortion trends. Throughout the period of analysis (2000–2009), women in their 20s consistently accounted for the majority of abortions (56%–57%) and therefore strongly influenced overall changes in abortion rates, including the observed decrease from 2008 to 2009. Conversely, women aged ≥35 years consistently have accounted for a small percentage of abortions (≤12% during 2000–2009) and have had a much smaller impact on overall abortion trends. Nonetheless, the persistent increase in abortion rates and high abortion ratios among women aged ≥40 years suggest that unintended pregnancy is a problem that women continue to face throughout their reproductive years. ** p.9 * The adolescent abortion trends described in this report are important for monitoring progress that has been made toward reducing pregnancies among adolescents in the United States. During 1990–2008, the pregnancy rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased 40%. Although this decrease was associated with significant decreases in rates of live births and abortions, decreases during this period were even greater for abortions than live births; even during a brief 2-year increase from 2005 to 2007 in the adolescent birth rate, the adolescent abortion rate decreased by 1%. Data from this report indicate that the decrease in pregnancies among adolescents is continuing; the abortion rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased 8% from 2008 to 2009, thus exceeding the 6% decrease in adolescent births for this year. ** p.9 * The findings in this report on race and ethnicity reflect differences in patterns of obtaining abortions that have been well-documented and observed for many years. Comparatively high abortion rates and ratios among non-Hispanic black women can be attributed to higher unintended pregnancy rates and a higher percentage of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion. Data from recent reports suggest that differences in measures of abortion between black women and women of other races have narrowed, although this pattern has not been observed in the data reported to CDC for 2009 or in previous years. High abortion rates among Hispanic compared with non-Hispanic white women have been attributed to high pregnancy rates among Hispanic women. However, abortion ratios in these two groups have been more comparable: Hispanic women have tended to have a slightly higher percentage of pregnancies that are unintended but are no more likely than non-Hispanic white women to end unintended pregnancies in abortion. Differences between non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women in abortion rates and ratios changed little from 2007 to 2009. <br> The findings in this report indicate that more women are obtaining abortions earlier in gestation, when the risks for complications are lowest. Among the areas that reported data every year during 2000–2009, the percentage of abortions performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation increased 12%. Moreover, among the areas that reported abortions at ≤13 weeks’ gestation by individual week, a clear shift in the distribution toward earlier weeks of gestation was observed: from 2000 to 2009, abortions performed at ≤6 weeks’ gestation increased 47%, whereas those performed at ≥8 weeks’ gestation decreased. However, these changes were greater from 2000 to 2004 than from 2005 to 2009, suggesting that the increase in the percentage of abortions performed during the earliest stages of gestation might have slowed in recent years. Moreover, the overall percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation changed little during 2000–2009, and findings from this report and other research suggest that delays in obtaining an abortion are more common among certain groups of women. Given the small but persistent percentage of women who obtain abortions at >13 weeks’ gestation, a greater understanding is needed of the factors that cause delays in pregnancy termination. ** p.9 * The trend of obtaining abortions earlier in pregnancy, although not observed equally among all subgroups of women, has been facilitated by changes in abortion practices. Curettage has remained the most common method for performing abortions. Although for many years this type of abortion was performed only after the initial weeks of gestation, the development of highly sensitive pregnancy tests and transvaginal ultrasonography increasingly have allowed clinicians to diagnose pregnancy and confirm its termination at ≤6 weeks’ gestation. In addition, the use of medical abortion might have contributed to the increasing percentage of abortions performed early in gestation. In September 2000, FDA approved mifepristone for use in early medical abortion, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has endorsed an evidence-based protocol that can be used up to 63 days of gestation. In 2009, 64.0% of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks’ gestation and thus were eligible for early medical abortion; 25.2% of these eligible abortions and 16.5% of all abortions were reported as early medical abortions. Moreover, the use of early medical abortion has increased substantially since FDA approval of mifepristone: from 2001 to 2009, the percentage of all reported abortions accounted for by this method increased approximately 350%. Furthermore, whereas the rate of increase leveled off after the initial years of approval, the proportional use of this method has continued to increase, with the percentage of all abortions reported as early medical abortion increasing 10% from 2008 to 2009. ** pp.9-10 * In 2008, 12 legal induced abortion-related deaths occurred; no women died as a result of a known illegal abortion. The annual number of legal induced abortions has fluctuated from year to year over the past 36 years. For example, 12 abortion-related deaths occurred in 1994, four deaths in 1995, and nine deaths in 1996. Because of this variability and the relatively small number of abortion-related deaths every year, national case-fatality rates were calculated for 5-year periods. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate was 0.64 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal induced abortions for both the most recent period (2004–2008) and the preceding 5-year period (1999–2003). ** p.10 * Ongoing abortion surveillance is important for several reasons. First, abortion surveillance is needed to guide and evaluate programs aimed at preventing unintended pregnancies. Pregnancy intentions are complex and difficult to assess; abortion surveillance provides an important measure of pregnancies that are unwanted. Second, routine abortion surveillance is needed to assess changes in clinical practice patterns over time. Information in this report on the prevalence of abortions performed through different methods (e.g., medical or curettage) and at different gestational ages provides the denominator data that are necessary for analyses of the relative safety of abortion practices. Finally, statistics on the number of pregnancies ending in abortion are needed in conjunction with data on births and fetal losses to more accurately estimate the number of pregnancies in the United States and determine rates for various outcomes (e.g., adolescent pregnancy rates). <br> According to the most recent national estimates, 18% of all pregnancies in the United States end in abortion. Multiple factors are known to influence the incidence of abortion, including the availability of abortion providers; state regulations, such as mandatory waiting periods, parental involvement laws, and legal restrictions on abortion providers; increasing acceptance of nonmarital childbearing; shifts in the racial/ethnic composition of the U.S. population; and changes in the economy and the resulting impact on fertility preferences and access to health-care services, including contraception. However, despite these multiple influences, given that unintended pregnancy precedes nearly all abortions efforts to reduce the incidence of abortion need to focus on helping women avoid pregnancies that they do not desire. ** p.11 * Providing women and men with the knowledge and resources necessary to make decisions about their sexual behavior and use of contraception can help them avoid unintended pregnancies. However, efforts to improve contraceptive use and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies in the United States have been challenging. Findings from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), the primary national source of data on unintended pregnancy in the United States, suggest that unintended pregnancy decreased during 1982–1995 in conjunction with an increase in contraceptive use among women at risk for unintended pregnancy. However, data from the 2002 and 2006–2010 NSFGs show that contraceptive use among women at risk for unintended pregnancy has decreased. Moreover, although use of the most effective forms of reversible contraception (i.e., intrauterine devices and hormonal implants, which are as effective as sterilization at preventing unintended pregnancy) has increased, use of these methods in the United States remains among the lowest of any developed country, and no additional progress has been made toward reducing unintended pregnancy. Research has shown that providing no-cost contraception increases use of the most effective methods and can reduce abortion rates. Removing cost as one barrier to the use of the most effective contraceptive methods might therefore be an important way to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and consequently the number of abortions that are performed in the United States. ** p.11 === "Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2011" (November 28, 2014) === <small> Karen Pazol, Andreea A. Creanga, Kim D. Burley, Denise J. Jamieson; [https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6311a1.htm "Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2011"]. “Surveillance Summaries”, November 28, 2014 / 63(SS11);1-41. </small> * Results: A total of 730,322 abortions were reported to CDC for 2011. Of these abortions, 98.3% were from the 46 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2002–2011. Among these same 46 reporting areas, the abortion rate for 2011 was 13.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 219 abortions per 1,000 live births. From 2010 to 2011, the total number and rate of reported abortions decreased 5% and the abortion ratio decreased 4%, and from 2002 to 2011, the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions decreased 13%, 14%, and 12%, respectively. In 2011, all three measures reached their lowest level for the entire period of analysis (2002–2011). <br> In 2011 and throughout the period of analysis, women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions and had the highest abortion rates, and women in their 30s and older accounted for a much smaller percentage of abortions and had lower abortion rates. In 2011, women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years accounted for 32.9% and 24.9% of all abortions, respectively, and had abortion rates of 24.9 and 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively. In contrast, women aged 30–34, 35–39, and ≥40 years accounted for 15.8%, 8.9%, and 3.6% of all abortions, respectively, and had abortion rates of 12.7, 7.5, and 2.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 30–34 years, 35–39 years, and ≥40 years, respectively. Throughout the period of analysis, abortion rates decreased among women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years by 21% and 16%, respectively, whereas they increased among women aged ≥40 years by 8%. <br> In 2011, adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years accounted for 0.4% and 13.5% of all abortions, respectively, and had abortion rates of 0.9 and 10.5 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years, respectively. From 2002 to 2011, the percentage of abortions accounted for by adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased 21% and their abortion rate decreased 34%. These decreases were greater than the decreases for women in any older age group. * In contrast to the percentage distribution of abortions and abortion rates by age, abortion ratios in 2011 and throughout the entire period of analysis were highest among adolescents and lowest among women aged 30–39 years. Abortion ratios decreased from 2002 to 2011 for women in all age groups except for those aged <15 years, for whom they increased. <br> In 2011, most (64.5%) abortions were performed by ≤8 weeks' gestation, and nearly all (91.4%) were performed by ≤13 weeks' gestation. Few abortions (7.3%) were performed between 14–20 weeks' gestation or at ≥21 weeks' gestation (1.4%). From 2002 to 2011, the percentage of all abortions performed at ≤8 weeks' gestation increased 6%. <br> In 2011, among reporting areas that included medical (nonsurgical) abortion on their reporting form, a total of 71.0% of abortions were performed by curettage at ≤13 weeks' gestation, 19.1% were performed by early medical abortion (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks' gestation), and 8.6% were performed by curettage at >13 weeks' gestation; all other methods were uncommon. Among abortions performed at ≤8 weeks' gestation that were eligible for early medical abortion on the basis of gestational age, 28.5% were completed by this method. The percentage of abortions reported as early medical abortions increased 3% from 2010 to 2011. * In 2010, the most recent year for which data were available, 10 women were identified to have died as a result of complications from known legal induced abortions. No reported deaths were associated with known illegal induced abortions. * Interpretation: Among the 46 areas that reported data every year during 2002–2011, large decreases in the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions from 2010 to 2011, in combination with decreases that occurred during 2008–2010, resulted in historic lows for all three measures of abortion. * Among the 49 reporting areas that provided data for 2011, a total of 730,322 abortions were reported. Of these abortions, 717,903 (98.3%) were obtained from the 46 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2002–2011. These same 46 areas had an abortion rate of 13.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and an abortion ratio of 219 abortions per 1,000 live births. All three measures of abortion reached the lowest level reported during the entire period of analysis. From 2010 to 2011, the total number of reported abortions decreased 5% (from 753,065), the abortion rate decreased 5% (from 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 4% (from 228 abortions per 1,000 live births). Among the 46 areas that reported every year during 2002–2011, the total number of reported abortions decreased 13% (from 828,027), the abortion rate decreased 14% (from 16.2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 12% (from 250 abortions per 1,000 live births). Among the same 46 areas that reported every year during 2002–2011, the annual rate of decrease fitted from the regression analysis for both the total number and rate, but not the ratio of reported abortions, was greater during 2007–2011 than during 2002–2006. During 2007–2011, the number of reported abortions decreased by 26,058 abortions per year, the abortion rate decreased by 0.50 abortions per 1,000 women per year, and the abortion ratio decreased by 2.6 abortions per 1,000 live births per year. In contrast, during 2002–2006, the number of reported abortions decreased by 918 abortions per year, and the abortion rate decreased by 0.04 abortions per 1,000 women per year, while the abortion ratio decreased by 3.5 abortions per 1,000 live births per year. * Abortion numbers, rates, and ratios for 2011 have been calculated by individual state or reporting area of occurrence and the residence of the women who obtained the abortions. By occurrence, a considerable range existed in the abortion rate (ranging from 3.7 per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in Mississippi to 27.6 in New York [city and state combined]), and the abortion ratio (ranging from 50 abortions per 1,000 live births in South Dakota to 461 in New York [city and state combined]). Similarly, a considerable range existed by residence§§§ in the abortion rate (ranging from 4.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in South Dakota to 26.7 in New York [city and state combined]), and the abortion ratio (ranging from 63 abortions per 1,000 live births in Utah to 446 in New York [city and state combined]). Because of variation that occurred among reporting areas in the percentage of abortions obtained by out-of-state residents (ranging from 0.7% in Alaska to 53.6% in the District of Columbia), abortion rates and ratios calculated by maternal residence might provide a more accurate reflection of the state-specific distribution of women obtaining abortions. However, because states vary in the level of detail they collect on maternal residence, 12.2% of abortions were reported to CDC without exact information on maternal residence. * Among the 46 areas that reported by maternal age for 2011, women in their 20s accounted for the majority (57.8%) of abortions and had the highest abortion rates (24.9 and 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively). Women in the youngest (<15 years) and oldest age groups (≥40 years) accounted for the smallest percentage of abortions (0.4% and 3.6%, respectively) and had the lowest abortion rates (0.9 and 2.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged <15 and ≥40 years, respectively). Among the 43 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2002–2011, this pattern across age groups was stable, with the majority of abortions and the highest abortion rates occurring among women aged 20–29 years and the lowest percentages of abortions and abortion rates occurring among women in the youngest and oldest age groups. However, from 2002 to 2011 the abortion rate and percentage of abortions accounted for by younger women decreased, whereas the abortion rate and percentage of abortions accounted for by older women increased. Decreases in the abortion rate were greatest for adolescents (36% and 34% for adolescents aged <15 and 15–19 years, respectively), but also were pronounced for women aged 20–29 years (21% and 16% for women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively). Among all women aged <30 years, decreases in the abortion rate were greatest from 2007 to 2011, but also occurred from 2002 to 2006. In contrast, among women aged ≥40 years, abortion rates increased during both periods, resulting in an overall increase of 8%. Among women aged 30–39 years, abortion rates varied from year to year, resulting in smaller overall changes. <br> In contrast to the percentage distribution of abortion numbers and abortion rates, abortion ratios in 2011 were highest among adolescents aged ≤19 years and lowest among women aged 30–39 years. Among the 43 reporting areas that provided data for every year during 2002–2011, abortion ratios decreased among all women aged ≥15 years. For most age groups ≥15 years, abortion ratios decreased both from 2002 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2011. However, for women aged 20–24 years, abortion ratios decreased from 2002 to 2006 but then increased from 2007 to 2011. * Among the 44 areas that reported age by individual year among adolescents for 2011, adolescents aged 18–19 years accounted for the majority (65.3%) of adolescent abortions and had the highest adolescent abortion rates (14.8 and 18.9 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 18 and 19 years, respectively); adolescents aged <15 years accounted for the smallest percentage of adolescent abortions (3.0%) and had the lowest adolescent abortion rate (0.8 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged 13–14 years). Among the 40 reporting areas that provided data for adolescents by individual year of age every year during 2002–2011, this pattern across age groups became even more pronounced . The percentage of abortions accounted for by older adolescents increased, and decreases in the abortion rate were greater for younger as compared with older adolescents. Among adolescents of all ages, abortion rates decreased both from 2002 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2011, but decreases were greatest from 2007 to 2011, and large decreases continued from 2010 to 2011. <br> In 2011, the adolescent abortion ratio decreased with increasing age and was lowest among adolescents aged 19 years. Among the 40 reporting areas that provided data for adolescents by individual year of age for every year during 2002–2011, abortion ratios increased among adolescents aged <15 years and decreased among adolescents aged ≥15 years. * Among the 39 areas that reported gestational age at the time of abortion for 2011, the majority (64.5%) of abortions were performed by ≤8 weeks' gestation, and 91.4% were performed at ≤13 weeks' gestation. Few abortions were performed between 14–20 weeks' gestation (7.3%) or at ≥21 weeks' gestation (1.4%). Among the 31 reporting areas that provided data on gestational age every year during 2002–2011, the percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks' gestation increased slightly. However, within this gestational age range, a shift occurred toward earlier gestational ages, with abortions performed at ≤8 weeks' gestation increasing 6% and abortions performed at 9–13 weeks decreasing 12%. Abortions performed at >13 weeks' gestation decreased 1% from 2002 to 2011 and accounted for a small percentage of abortions (≤8.9%) for the entire period during 2002–2011. <br< Among the subset of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks' gestation and reported by individual week of gestation for 2011, 36.1% were performed at ≤6 weeks' gestation. Among the remaining abortions between 7 and 13 weeks' gestation, the percentage contribution was progressively lower for each additional week of gestation: 19.5% were performed at 7 weeks' gestation and 3.0% were performed at 13 weeks' gestation. Among the 31 areas that reported by exact week of gestation for abortions at ≤13 weeks' gestation every year during 2002–2011, the percentage of abortions shifted toward earlier gestational ages: those performed at ≤6 weeks' gestation increased 19%, and those performed at 7–12 weeks' gestation decreased up to 18%. * Among the 40 areas that reported by method type for 2011 and included medical abortion on their reporting form for medical providers, 71.0% of abortions were performed by curettage at ≤13 weeks' gestation, 19.1% were performed by early medical abortion (a nonsurgical abortion at ≤8 weeks' gestation), and 8.6% were performed by curettage at >13 weeks' gestation; all other methods were uncommon. Among the 29 reporting areas that included medical abortion on their reporting form and provided this data for the relevant years of comparison (2002 versus 2006, 2007 versus 2011, and 2010 versus 2011), use of early medical abortion increased 3% from 2010 to 2011 (from 17.7% of abortions in 2010 to 18.3% in 2011); from 2002 to 2011, use of early medical abortion increased approximately 200% (from 5.8% of abortions in 2002 to 18.3% in 2011). Large increases in medical abortion occurred both from 2002 to 2006 (from 5.8% of abortions in 2002 to 10.9% in 2006 [88% increase]), and from 2007 to 2011 (from 12.1% of abortions in 2007 to 18.3% in 2011 [51% increase]). In contrast, use of curettage at ≤13 weeks' gestation decreased 14% (from 83.9% of abortions in 2002 to 72.0% in 2011). Curettage at >13 weeks' gestation consistently accounted for approximately 8% of abortions (8.2% in 2002 and 8.6% in 2011), and all other methods consistently accounted for a small percentage of abortions (0.03%–1.4%). * Among the 27 areas that reported cross-classified race/ethnicity data for 2011, non-Hispanic white women and non-Hispanic black women accounted for the largest percentages of abortions (37.2% and 36.2%, respectively), and Hispanic women and non-Hispanic women in the other race category accounted for smaller percentages (19.7% and 7.0%, respectively). Non-Hispanic white women had the lowest abortion rate (8.0 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratio (132 abortions per 1,000 live births), and non-Hispanic black women had the highest abortion rate (29.7 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratio (459 abortions per 1,000 live births). <br> Among the 21 areas that reported by race/ethnicity for 2007, 2010 and 2011, abortion rates decreased substantially for all three major racial/ethnic groups. For non-Hispanic white women, the abortion rate decreased 15% (from 9.3 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 7.9 in 2011), for non-Hispanic black women it decreased 12% (from 34.8 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 30.7 in 2011) and for Hispanic women it decreased 18% (from 20.7 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 16.9 in 2011). In contrast, from 2007 to 2011, a large decrease (10%) in the abortion ratio occurred among non-Hispanic white women (from 144 to 130 abortions per 1,000 live births), a lesser decrease (2%) occurred among non-Hispanic black women (from 486 to 474 abortions per 1,000 live births), and a small increase (3%) occurred among Hispanic women (from 204 to 210 abortions per 1,000 live births). Data are reported separately by race and by ethnicity for 2011 and for 2002–2011. * Among the 37 areas that reported by marital status for 2011, 14.5% of all women who obtained an abortion were married and 85.5% were unmarried. The abortion ratio was 43 abortions per 1,000 live births for married women and 373 abortions per 1,000 live births for unmarried women. Among the 32 reporting areas†††† that provided these data for the relevant years of comparison (2002 versus 2006, 2007 versus 2011, and 2010 versus 2011), the percentage of abortions among unmarried women increased 5% from 2002 to 2011 (from 81.7% in 2002 to 85.4% in 2011); a similar increase occurred from 2002 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2011. Among married women, the abortion ratio decreased 23% from 2002 to 2011 (from 56 to 43 abortions per 1,000 live births), with a larger decrease occurring from 2007 to 2011 (16%) than from 2002 to 2006 (7%). Among unmarried women, the abortion ratio decreased 25% from 2002 to 2011 (from 505 to 381 abortions per 1,000 live births). For unmarried women, the decrease was greater from 2002 to 2006 (16%) than from 2007 to 2011 (4%). * Data from the 40 areas that reported the number of previous live births for women who obtained abortions in 2011 show that 39.9%, 46.1%, and 13.9% of these women had zero, one to two, or three or more previous live births, respectively. Among the 33 reporting areas§§§§ that provided these data for the relevant years of comparison (2002 versus 2006, 2007 versus 2011, and 2010 versus 2011), the percentage of women obtaining abortions who had no previous live births was comparatively stable; by contrast, the percentage decreased for women who had one to two previous live births, and increased for women who had three or more previous live births. Among the areas included in this comparison, 39.0%, 48.4%, and 12.6% of women had zero, one to two, or three or more previous live births, respectively in 2002; 39.8%, 46.4% and 13.8% of women had zero, one to two, or three or more live births, respectively in 2011. <br> Data from the 37 areas that reported the number of previous abortions for women who obtained abortions in 2011 indicate that the majority (56.9%) had no previous abortions, 36.1% had one to two previous abortions, and 7.1% had three or more previous abortions. Among the 30 reporting areas that provided data for the relevant years of comparison (2002 versus 2006, 2007 versus 2011, and 2010 versus 2011), the percentage of women who had one to two previous abortions was stable, although there was a decrease among women who had zero previous abortions and an increase among women who had three or more previous abortions. Among the areas included in this comparison, 57.8%, 36.0%, and 6.2% of women had zero, one to two, or three or more previous abortions, respectively, in 2002; by contrast, 57.0%, 35.9%, and 7.2% of women had zero, one to two, or three or more previous abortions, respectively, in 2011. * In certain reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by maternal race and race/ethnicity were further categorized by maternal age and by marital status. A consistent pattern existed for abortions by age across all race/ethnicity groups, with the smallest percentage of abortions occurring among adolescents aged <15 years (0.3%–0.6%) and the largest percentage occurring among women aged 20–24 years (27.0%–33.5%). A consistent pattern also existed for abortions by marital status across all race/ethnicity groups, with a higher percentage of abortions occurring among women who were unmarried (67.8%–92.2%) than among those who were married (7.8%–32.2%). However, for abortions among unmarried women, the percentage was higher for non-Hispanic black women (92.2%) than for non-Hispanic white (84.0%) or Hispanic women (82.6%). * In certain reporting areas, abortions that were categorized by weeks of gestation were further categorized by maternal age, race, and race/ethnicity. In every subgroup for these three variables, the largest percentage of abortions was obtained at ≤8 weeks' gestation. However, by age, 43.9% of adolescents <15 years and 54.7% of adolescents 15–19 years obtained an abortion by ≤8 weeks' gestation, compared with 62.4%–71.5% of women in older age groups. Conversely, 21.7% of adolescents aged <15 years and 12.4% of adolescents 15–19 years obtained an abortion after 13 weeks' gestation, compared with 7.1%–9.0% for women in older age groups. By race/ethnicity, 58.3% of non-Hispanic black women obtained an abortion at ≤8 weeks' gestation, compared with 66.9%–71.1% of women from other racial/ethnic groups. Non-Hispanic black women obtained the highest percentage of abortions after 13 weeks' gestation, but differences across racial/ethnic groups were less apparent than differences across age groups. <br> Among abortions categorized by method type and gestational age, curettage accounted for the largest percentage of abortions within every gestational age category. At ≤8 weeks' gestation, curettage accounted for a smaller percentage of abortions (71.2%) than at any other stage of gestation. At 9–17 weeks' gestation, curettage accounted for 97.0%–98.8% of all abortions and then decreased to 95.3% of abortions between 18–20 weeks' gestation and 87.4% of abortions at ≥21 weeks' gestation. By contrast, at ≤8 weeks' gestation, early medical abortion accounted for 28.5% of abortions, but at all subsequent points in gestation the use of medications to induce abortions through nonsurgical methods accounted for only 0.6%–5.3% of reported abortions. Throughout gestation, intrauterine instillations and abortions reported in the other methods category accounted for a small percentage (<0.01%–6.5%) of abortions. * Using national data from the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System (38), CDC identified 10 abortion-related deaths for 2010. These deaths were identified either by some indication of abortion on the death certificate, by reports from a health-care provider or public health agency, or from a media report. Investigation of these cases indicated that all 10 deaths were related to legal abortion and none to illegal abortion. <br> The annual number of deaths related to legal induced abortions has fluctuated from year to year over the past 38 years. For example, 10 legal induced abortion-related deaths occurred in 1994, four deaths in 1995, and nine deaths in 1996. Because of this variability and the relatively small number of legal induced abortion-related deaths every year, national legal abortion case-fatality rates were calculated for consecutive 5-year periods during 1973–2002 and an 8-year period during 2003–2010. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2003–2010 was 0.70 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal abortions. This case fatality rate was similar to the rate for most of the preceding 5-year periods but lower than the case-fatality rate of 2.09 legal induced abortion-related deaths per 100,000 reported legal abortions for the 5-year period (1973–1977) immediately following nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973. Possible abortion-related deaths that occurred during 2011–2014 are under investigation. * For 2011, a total of 730,322 abortions were reported to CDC. Of these abortions, 98.3% were from 46 reporting areas that submitted data every year during 2002–2011, thus providing the information necessary for evaluating trends. These 46 areas had an abortion rate of 13.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years and an abortion ratio of 219 abortions per 1,000 live births. Compared with 2010, this represents a 5% decrease in the total number (from 753,065) and rate (from 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women) of reported abortions and a 4% decrease in the abortion ratio (from 228 abortions per 1,000 births). Because of the size of these decreases, combined with decreases from the previous 2 years (15,16), all three measures of abortion reached their lowest level for the entire period of analysis (2002–2011). <br> In addition to highlighting changes that occurred among all women of reproductive age, this report underscores important age differences in abortion trends. During 2002–2011, women in their 20s consistently accounted for the majority of abortions (56%–58%) and therefore have contributed substantially to overall changes in abortion rates. Conversely, women aged ≥40 years consistently have accounted for a small percentage of abortions (≤3.6% during 2002–2011) and have had a much smaller contribution to overall abortion trends. Nonetheless, among women aged ≥40 years, abortion rates have shown a small yet persistent increase and the abortion ratio for this age group remains high. Together with the continuing small proportion of abortions performed later in gestation among these women, which potentially might be completed for maternal medical indications or fetal anomalies, these patterns suggest that unintended pregnancy is a problem that women encounter throughout their reproductive years. * The adolescent abortion trends described in this report are important for monitoring progress that has been made toward reducing adolescent pregnancies in the United States. During 1990–2009, the pregnancy rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased 44% to an historic low (39). This decrease was associated with substantial decreases in both the rate of live births (58%) and abortions (60%) among adolescents. More recent data indicate that the birth rate for adolescents aged 15–19 years decreased by a further 22% from 2010 to 2013 (40–43). The 10% decrease from 2010 to 2011 in the adolescent abortion rate suggests that adolescent pregnancies in the United States are continuing to decrease and that this decrease continues to be accompanied by substantial decreases in adolescent abortions and live births. * The findings in this report on race and ethnicity reflect differences in patterns of obtaining abortions that have been well-documented. Comparatively high abortion rates and ratios among non-Hispanic black women can be attributed to higher unintended pregnancy rates and a higher percentage of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion. Data from certain recent reports suggest that differences in measures of abortion between non-Hispanic black women and women of other races have narrowed. However, this pattern has not been observed in the data reported to CDC for 2011 or in previous years. Higher abortion rates among Hispanic compared with non-Hispanic white women can be attributed to high pregnancy rates among Hispanic women. However, abortion ratios in these two groups have been more comparable: Hispanic women have had a slightly higher percentage of pregnancies that are unintended but are no more likely than non-Hispanic white women to end unintended pregnancies in abortion. Differences between non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women in abortion rates changed little from 2007 to 2011, although the difference in abortion ratios widened, with a decrease for non-Hispanic white women and an increase for Hispanic women. * The findings in this report indicate women are obtaining abortions earlier in gestation, when the risks for complications are lowest. Among the areas that reported data every year during 2002–2011, the percentage of abortions performed at ≤8 weeks' gestation increased 6%. Moreover, among the areas that reported abortions at ≤13 weeks' gestation by individual week, the distribution continued to shift toward earlier weeks of gestation with the percentage of early abortions performed at ≤6 weeks' gestation increasing 19%. Nonetheless, the overall percentage of abortions performed at ≤13 weeks' gestation changed little during 2002–2011, and findings from this and other reports suggest that delays in obtaining an abortion are more common among certain groups of women. Because of the small but persistent percentage of women who obtain abortions at >13 weeks' gestation, a better understanding is needed of the factors that cause delays in obtaining abortions. <br> The trend of obtaining abortions earlier in pregnancy has been facilitated by changes in abortion practices. Research conducted in the United States during the 1970s indicated that surgical abortion procedures performed at ≤6 weeks' as compared with 7–12 weeks' gestation were less likely to result in successful termination of the pregnancy (56). However, subsequent advances in technology (e.g., improved transvaginal ultrasonography and sensitive pregnancy tests) have allowed very early surgical abortions to be performed with completion rates exceeding 97% (49,57–59). Likewise, the development of medical abortion regimens has allowed for abortions to be performed very early in gestation, with completion rates for regimens that combine mifepristone and misoprostol reaching 96%–98% (60). In 2011, 64.5% of abortions were performed at ≤8 weeks' gestation, and thus the women receiving these abortions were eligible for early medical abortion on the basis of gestational age; 28.5% of these abortions at ≤8 weeks' gestation and 19.1% of all abortions were reported as early medical abortions. Moreover, the use of early medical abortion has continued to rise since FDA approval of mifepristone: from 2002 to 2011, the percentage of all reported abortions accounted for by this method increased approximately 200%, with large increases observed both from 2002 to 2006 and 2007 to 2011. Because the annual increase from 2010 to 2011 was smaller than in previous years, continued surveillance is needed to monitor the use of early medical abortion relative to other abortion methods. * The annual number of deaths related to legal induced abortions has fluctuated from year to year over the past 37 years. Because of this variability and the relatively small number of abortion-related deaths every year, national legal abortion case-fatality rates were calculated for consecutive 5-year periods during 1973–2002 and an 8-year period during 2003–2010. The national legal induced abortion case-fatality rate for 2003–2010 was similar to the case fatality rate for most of the preceding 5-year periods, but was much lower than the case fatality year for the period of 1973–1978 that immediately followed nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973. * [I]n 2011, CDC was unable to identify the reporting area, territory, or country of residence for 12.2% of reported abortions. * Ongoing surveillance of legal induced abortions is important for several reasons. First, abortion surveillance is needed to guide and evaluate the success of programs aimed at preventing unintended pregnancies. Although pregnancy intentions are difficult to assess, abortion surveillance provides an important measure of pregnancies that are unwanted. Second, routine abortion surveillance is needed to assess trends in clinical practice patterns over time. Information in this report on the number of abortions performed through different methods (e.g., medical or curettage) and at different gestational ages provides the denominator data that are necessary for analyses of the relative safety of abortion practices. Finally, information on the number of pregnancies ending in abortion are needed in conjunction with data on births and fetal losses to more accurately estimate the number of pregnancies in the United States and determine rates for various outcomes (e.g., adolescent pregnancy rates). <br> According to the most recent national estimates, 18% of all pregnancies in the United States end in abortion (39). Multiple factors influence the incidence of abortion including the availability of abortion providers (14,74–76); state regulations, such as mandatory waiting periods, parental involvement laws (78), and legal restrictions on abortion providers; increasing acceptance of nonmarital childbearing (80,81); shifts in the racial/ethnic composition of the U.S. population; and changes in the economy and the resulting impact on fertility preferences and access to health-care services, including contraception (84,85). However, because unintended pregnancy precedes nearly all abortions efforts to reduce the incidence of abortion need to focus on helping women, men, and couples avoid pregnancies that they do not desire. === “Roe v. Wade at 40: Most Oppose Overturning Abortion Decision” (January 16, 2013) === <small> [https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/roe-v-wade-at-40/ “Roe v. Wade at 40: Most Oppose Overturning Abortion Decision”], ''PEW'', (January 16, 2013) </small> * As the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision approaches, the public remains opposed to completely overturning the historic ruling on abortion. More than six-in-ten (63%) say they would not like to see the court completely overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman’s constitutional right to abortion at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Only about three-in-ten (29%) would like to see the ruling overturned. These opinions are little changed from surveys conducted 10 and 20 years ago. <br> Decades after the Supreme Court rendered its decision, on Jan. 22, 1973, most Americans (62%) know that Roe v. Wade dealt with abortion rather than school desegregation or some other issue. But the rest either guess incorrectly (17%) or do not know what the case was about (20%). And there are substantial age differences in awareness: Among those ages 50 to 64, 74% know that Roe v. Wade dealt with abortion, the highest percentage of any age group. Among those younger than 30, just 44% know this. <br> The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Jan. 9-13 among 1,502 adults, finds that abortion is viewed as a less important issue than in the past. Currently, 53% say abortion “is not that important compared to other issues,” up from 48% in 2009 and 32% in 2006. The percentage viewing abortion as a “critical issue facing the country” fell from 28% in 2006 to 15% in 2009 and now stands at 18%. <br> However, the public continues to be divided over whether it is morally acceptable to have an abortion. Nearly half (47%) say it is morally wrong to have an abortion, while just 13% find this morally acceptable; 27% say this is not a moral issue and 9% volunteer that it depends on the situation. These opinions have changed little since 2006. * There continue to be substantial religious and partisan differences over whether to overturn Roe v. Wade, and over the broader question of whether abortion should be legal or illegal in all or most cases. (For more on attitudes toward abortion, see Public Opinion on Abortion slideshow.) <br> White evangelical Protestants are the only major religious group in which a majority (54%) favors completely overturning the Roe v. Wade decision. Large percentages of white mainline Protestants (76%), black Protestants (65%) and white Catholics (63%) say the ruling should not be overturned. Fully 82% of the religiously unaffiliated oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. <br> Half of Americans who attend religious services at least weekly favor completely overturning the Roe v. Wade decision, compared with just 17% of those who attend less often. <br> Republicans are evenly divided over whether the ruling should be overturned: 46% say it should, while 48% say it should not. By wide margins, Democrats (74% to 20%) and independents (64% to 28%) oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. <br> There is no gender gap in opinions about Roe v. Wade: Nearly identical percentages of women (64%) and men (63%) oppose reversing the decision. * Slightly more than half of adults (53%) say that abortion is not that important compared with other issues. About a quarter (27%) say abortion is one among many important issues facing the country, while 18% view abortion as a critical issue. <br> Those who would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned are particularly inclined to view abortion as a critical issue facing the country. Nearly four-in-ten (38%) of those who support overturning the abortion ruling say abortion is a critical issue, compared with just 9% of those who oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. Among those who favor retaining Roe, 68% say abortion is not that important compared with other issues. <br> Nearly three-in-ten white evangelical Protestants (29%) view the issue of abortion as critical, compared with just 13% of white mainline Protestants and white Catholics. Majorities of white mainline Protestants (61%) and white Catholics (59%) say abortion is not that important compared with other issues. An even higher percentage of religiously unaffiliated Americans (71%) say abortion is relatively unimportant. * Nearly half of Americans (47%) say they personally believe that it is morally wrong to have an abortion, compared with 27% who say it is not a moral issue, 13% who find it morally acceptable and 9% who volunteer that it depends. These opinions have changed only modestly in recent years. <br> There are deep differences among religious groups, as well as a wide partisan gap, in opinions about the moral acceptability of having an abortion. <br> Most white evangelical Protestants (73%), as well as 55% of white Catholics and 53% of black Protestants, say it is morally wrong to have an abortion. That compares with 36% of white mainline Protestants and just 20% of the religiously unaffiliated. <br> A majority of Republicans (63%) view having an abortion as morally wrong, compared with 45% of independents and 39% of Democrats. <br> Relatively small percentages of people in all religious, partisan and demographic groups say it is morally acceptable to have an abortion. However, nearly half of Democrats say either that having an abortion is morally acceptable (17%) or that it is not a moral issue (31%). Among independents, roughly four-in-ten say it is either morally acceptable (12%) or that abortion is not a moral issue (30%). <br> Those who favor overturning Roe v. Wade overwhelmingly say it is morally wrong to have an abortion; fully 85% express this view. Opinions about the morality of abortion are more divided among those who oppose overturning Roe. Nearly four-in-ten (38%) say abortion is not a moral issue, while 29% say having an abortion is morally wrong; just 17% of those who favor retaining Roe view abortion as morally acceptable. <br> Overall, nearly one-in-five Americans (18%) say they personally believe that abortion is morally unacceptable, yet also oppose the Supreme Court overturning its Roe v. Wade ruling. * The survey finds that 41% say that the Democratic Party can do a better job of representing their views on abortion; nearly as many (36%) say the Republican Party could do better. <br> Last March, the Democratic Party held a 16-point advantage as better representing people’s views on abortion (47% to 31%).

Retrieved January 5, 2020. </small> * As of 2019, public support for legal abortion remains as high as it has been in two decades of polling. Currently, 61% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 38% say it should be illegal in all or most cases. <br> Though abortion is a divisive issue, more than half of U.S. adults take a non-absolutist position, saying that in most – but not all – cases, abortion should be legal (34%) or illegal (26%). Fewer take the position that in all cases abortion should be either legal (27%) or illegal (12%). * About three-quarters of white evangelical Protestants (77%) think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. <br> By contrast, 83% of religiously unaffiliated Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, as do nearly two-thirds of black Protestants (64%), six-in-ten white mainline Protestants (60%) and a slim majority of Catholics (56%). * Men and women express similar views on abortion; 60% of women say it should be legal in all or most cases, as do 61% of men. * Among adults under age 30, 70% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, as do nearly two-thirds of adults in their 30s and 40s (64%). More than half of those in their 50s and early 60s (54%) and those ages 65 and older (55%) say the same. * Seven-in-ten college graduates (70%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, as do 60% of those with some college education. A slim majority of those with a high school degree or less education share this opinion: 54% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 44% say it should be illegal in all or most cases. === "Judge lets Mississippi's only abortion clinic stay open -- for now" (July 11, 2012) === <small> Phillips, Rich. [https://www.cnn.com/2012/07/11/us/mississippi-abortion-clinic-hearing/index.html "Judge lets Mississippi's only abortion clinic stay open -- for now"]. CNN. (July 11, 2012) </small> * The law took effect July 1 and requires all abortion providers in Mississippi to be certified obstetrician/gynecologists with privileges at local hospitals. Doctors at Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the only abortion provider in the state, come in from other states, and only one of its doctors is authorized to practice at a nearby hospital. <br> Supporters of the new law say it is intended to protect women from unscrupulous practitioners, but others say it’s part of a move to outlaw abortions in the state. Even Republican Gov. Phil Bryant called it “the first step in a movement, I believe, to do what we campaigned on: to say that we’re going to try to end abortion in Mississippi.” * Since the law went into effect, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization has remained open under Jordan’s temporary order blocking enforcement of the law. The clinic is trying to comply with the law, according to owner Diane Derzis, but it has been hampered by red tape and the cumbersome application process to obtain hospital privileges. <br> Derzis said the clinic has applied for privileges at seven hospitals within a 30-mile radius. One, a Catholic hospital, has already told the clinic “not to bother,” she said. * The clinic is seeking a permanent injunction allowing it to stay open while it fights the law, which Derzis and other opponents say violates Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that struck down many state laws that restricted abortions. <br> “It’s unconstitutional, frankly,” said Amelia McGowan, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, which is against the new law. * Officials at the clinic, which has been in operation for eight years, say they would have to choose between being shut down or risking civil and criminal penalties by continuing operations during an appeals process. <br> “We’ve been able to be with women at a time in their lives where they are in crisis, when they need to have something done and need that support,” Derzis said. “That’s why it has to be available. It has to be.” * Some backers of the bill say it is not an attempt to end abortion in Mississippi, but simply a way to protect women’s health by ensuring physicians carry out abortions and follow the patients to a local hospital afterward. <br> “The governor has made it clear that he signed the legislation for the health and safety of women,” said Steven Aden, a consulting attorney to the state. “So while he is pro-life, he also said that this is a health and safety provision. I don’t see why that’s hard to understand.” <br> Despite some past minor citations, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization has a very good record with the Mississippi Department of Health, an official there told CNN. * Mississippi is one of the toughest states for the abortion-rights movement. Its laws require a 24-hour waiting period and parental consent if the patient seeking an abortion is a minor. Seven other states require abortion providers to have hospital privileges, but no other state requires that an abortion provider be an OB/GYN, according to the Guttmacher Institute in Washington, a sexual and reproductive health organization. <br> “All of that is wrapped in that cloak of conservative religion,” said W. Martin Wiseman, director of the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University. <br> “When you are in this state, you cannot separate an issue from religion,” Wiseman said. “The normal rationale used in other states doesn’t fly here. You’ll find very few legislators – regardless of whether they are white, black, Democrat or Republican – who will say ‘I’m pro-abortion.” * Derzis said she believes that the real intent of the newly elected Republican majority was to end abortion in the state, not to improve women’s health care. <br> “I love that it’s white old men making those statements,” she said. “This is not about safety. This is about politics, and politics do not need to be in our uterus.” === "Abortion safer than giving birth: study" (January 23, 2021) === <small> Pittman, Genevra (January 23, 2012). [https://www.reuters.com/article/us-abortion-idUSTRE80M2BS20120123 "Abortion safer than giving birth: study"]. Reuters. </small> * Researchers found that women were about 14 times more likely to die during or after giving birth to a live baby than to die from complications of an abortion. <br> Experts say the findings, though not unexpected, contradict some state laws that suggest abortions are high-risk procedures. <br> The message is that getting an abortion and giving birth are both safe, said Dr. Anne Davis, who studies obstetrics and gynecology at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York, and wasn’t involved in the new study. <br> “We wouldn’t tell people, ‘Don’t have a baby because it’s safer to have an abortion’ -- that’s ridiculous,” she told Reuters Health. “We’re trying to help women who are having all reproductive experiences know what to expect.” * An induced abortion -- like any other medical procedure -- requires getting informed [[consent]] from the woman, said Dr. Bryna Harwood, an obgyn from the University of Illinois in Chicago who also didn’t participate in the new research. * What makes it complicated, Harwood added, is when the law interferes and requires doctors to state information that isn’t always balanced or medically sound -- usually exaggerating the risk of abortion. <br> The researchers on the new study combined government data on live births and pregnancy- and abortion-related deaths with estimates on legal abortions performed in the U.S. from the Guttmacher Institute, which conducts sexual and reproductive health research and education. * Dr. Elizabeth Raymond from Gynuity Health Projects in New York City and Dr. David Grimes of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, found that between 1998 and 2005, one woman died during childbirth for every 11,000 or so babies born. <br> That compared to one woman of every 167,000 who died from a legal abortion. <br> The researchers also cited a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which found that, from 1998 to 2001, the most common complications associated with pregnancy -- including high blood pressure, urinary tract infections and mental health conditions -- happened more often in women who had a live birth than those who got an abortion. * In their report, published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, Raymond and Grimes write that the findings aren’t surprising given that women are pregnant for a lot longer when they decide to have a baby and so have more time to develop complications. <br> Harwood said previous studies have also shown the safety of legal abortions. <br> Most abortions have typically been done surgically, she told Reuters Health. But since the abortion drug mifepristone was approved for use in the United States in 2000, the number of medically-induced abortions has been on the rise. <br> Both methods are now considered equally safe, she said, with the main risk -- though very small -- coming from medication- and procedure-related infections. * Depending on the state, however, doctors legally must go over the risks of abortion in language that may be misleading, researchers said, with skewed lists of possible complications. Others require a 24-hour waiting period in between the counseling and the abortion itself. <br> Harwood said that laws regarding what’s said between the doctor and a woman seeking an abortion often hamper doctors’ attempts to inform patients in a balanced way. <br> “It is certainly an impediment to have the state dictate my informed consent process beyond the usual,” Harwood told Reuters Health. <br> “Abortion care and pregnancy care should not really be any different than consenting people for any other procedure.” * Davis agreed that state-mandated discussions have no place in abortion counseling. She said she was glad to see the new report, which helps dispel “misinformation” and “lies” about abortion risks included in some state laws -- such as the idea that abortion is linked to cancer. <br> “Women who are having abortions are having a safe, common surgical procedure or taking medication for the same reason,” she told Reuters Health <br> “They should feel confident that the medical care they’re having is safe, long-term and short-term.” === "Andrew Cuomo Signs Abortion Bill Into Law, Codifying Roe v.

Huffington Post. </small> * In a press release, Cuomo emphasized that concern as a sign of the legislation’s importance. <br> “Today we are taking a giant step forward in the hard-fought battle to ensure a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her own personal health, including the ability to access an abortion,” Cuomo said. “With the signing of this bill, we are sending a clear message that whatever happens in Washington, women in New York will always have the fundamental right to control their own body.” <br> Aside from keeping abortions available, the law removes the procedure from the state’s criminal code, which had previously made it illegal after 24 weeks of pregnancy unless the mother’s life was in jeopardy. <br> Now, that option is allowed after that point if the mother’s life or health is at stake or if her fetus is not viable.*Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins praised the move as an indication of progress for women. <br> “New York once led the way on choice and women’s rights,” Stewart-Cousins said. “Unfortunately for years, barriers to women’s rights were put up, and our state has fallen behind. Today, we are tearing those barriers down and we are now leading the way again.” * In a Facebook post Tuesday, New York State Right to Life slammed RHA as “an extreme bill” while vowing to fight to “protect children and their mothers, protect the rights of pro-life persons to engage in life-saving activities and express their views, and to build a culture of Life in New York.” === "Abortion after the First Trimester in the United States" === <small> [https://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/5113/9611/5527/Abortion_After_first_trimester.pdf "Abortion after the First Trimester in the United States"] (PDF). Planned Parenthood. February 2014. </small> *Since the legalization of abortion throughout the United States in 1973, abortion services have become more widely accessible, and knowledge about them has grown. As a result, the overwhelming majority of abortions are performed in the first trimester of pregnancy. For a number of reasons, however, abortion after the first trimester remains a necessary option for women. <br> Unfortunately, opponents of sage and legal abortion seek to limit access through, among other means, laws imposing a fixed date for viability and bans that would outlaw safe, medically appropriate abortions in the second trimester. Their goal is to make all abortions illegal. <br> In fact, the same anti-women’s health activists who would limit access to abortion after the first trimester also oppose access to abortion “in the first trimester” by advancing numerous restrictions, including parental involvement laws and mandatory waiting period laws. Also, by asserting their bias at a local level through picketing doctors’ homes and offices, health center blockades, threats of violence against doctors, and the misapplication of zoning laws, etc., these activists create sucha threatening climate that the number of qualified providers is diminished. Thee actions endanger the health of women and the right of physicians the determine the most appropriate treatment for their patients. ** p.1 * The Number of Abortions After the First Trimester Is Relatively Small <br> In 2011, an estimated 1.1 million abortions were performed, a 13 percent decline from 2008. The abortion rate in 2011 was the lowest rate since 1973 (Jones and Herman, 2014) The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 66 percent of legal abortions occur within the first eight weeks of gestation, and 92 percent are performed within the first 13 weeks. Only 1.2 percent occur at or after 21 weeks (CDC, 2013). <br> Since the nationwide legalization of abortion in 1973, the proportion of abortions performed after the first trimester has decreased because of increased access to and knowledge about safe, legal abortion (Gold, 2003). <br> The number of abortions after the first trimester might be even smaller if women had greater access to safe and legal abortion. Most women who’ve had an abortion say they woud have preferred to have it earlier, but financial limitations and/or lack of knowledge about pregnanc caused them to delay (Finer et al. 2006). ** p.1 * VARIOUS FACTORS REQUIRE WOMEN TO HAVE ABORTIONS AFTER THE FIRST TRIMESTER <br> Barriers to Service <br> Geographic- A 2005 survey of U.S. abortion providers found that among women who have non-hospital abortions, approximately 19 percent travel 50 to 100 miles for services, and an additional eight percent travel more than 100 miles (Jones et al., 2008). It follows that having to travel such distances can cause delays in obtaining abortions. <br> Provider shortage - As of 2011, 89 percent of U.S. counties had no known abortion provider; these counties are home to 38 percent of all women of reproductive age. (Jones and Jerman, 2014). Furthermore, in 2008, 97 percent of non-metropolitan counties have no abortion services, and 92 percent of non-metropolitan women live in these unserved counties (Jones and Kooistra, 2011). <br> Financial - - In 2000, the average cost of a first-trimester, in-clinic, non-hospital abortion with local anesthesia was $372 (Henshaw & Finer, 2003). In 2009 this cost was $451. The median cost of medication abortion, which can be done in the first 63 days of pregnancy, was $490 (Jones and Kooistra, 2011). For low-income and younger women, gathering the necessary funds for the procedure often causes delays. A recent study found that women at or under 100 percent of the federal poverty level were more likely than women at higher income levels to have second0trimester abortions (Jones and finer, 2012). Compounding the problem is the fact that the cost of abortion rises with gestational age: in 2009, non-hospital facilities charged an average of $1500 for abortion at 20 weeks (Jones and Kooistra, 2011). Most women are forced to pay for abortion out-of-pocket. In 2008, only 20 percent of abortions were paid by Medicaid and another 12 percent were billed directly to private insurance (Jones et al, 2010). For some women, the cost of abortion can pose significant barriers to access. Thirty-six percent of women having abortions in the second trimester reported that they needed time to raise money to have the abortion. In addition, 18 percent of women having abortions in the second trimester reported that worried about the cost of the procedure caused them to take more time to make their decision (Finer, et al., 2006). ** pp.1-2 * Legal restrictions-Causing additional delays are state laws that mandate parental consent, notification, or court-authorized bypass for minors, and laws and impose required waiting periods For example, after Mississippi passed a parental consent requirement, the ratio of minors to adults obtaining abortions after 12 weeks increased by 19 percent (Henshaw, 1995). ** p.2 * Medical indications affecting the pregnancy may also lead to abortion after 12 weeks. <br> In a survey of U.S. women deciding to end their pregnancies, significantly more women in their second trimester cited fetal health concerns than women in their first trimester. The fetal health concerns they cited included the risk of fetal anomaly due to advanced maternal age, a history of miscarriage, a lack of prenatal care, and fetal exposure to prescription medications and non-prescription substances (Finer et al., 2005) <br> Conditions in which the woman’s health is threatened or aggravated by continuing her pregnancy include: <br> certain types of infections; <br> heart failure; <br> malignant hypertension, including preeclampsia; <br> out-of-control diabetes; <br> serious renal disease; <br> severe depression; and <br> suicidal tendencies. <br> These symptoms may not occur until the second trimester, or they may become worse as the pregnancy progresses (Cherry & Merkatz, 1991; Paul et al., 2009). ** p.2 * Adolescents are more likely than older women to obtain abortions later in pregnancy (Jones and Finer, 2012). <br> Among women under age 15, one in five abortions is performed after 13 weeks’ gestation. Twelve percent of teens aged 15 to 19 obtained an abortion after 13 weeks’ gestation (CDC, 2013). <br> The very youngest women - those under age 15 - are more likely than others to obtain abortions at 21 or more weeks’ gestation (CDC, 2013). <br> Common reasons why adolescents delay abortion until after the first trimester include fear of parents’ reaction, denial of pregnancy, and prolonged fantasies that having a baby will result in a stable relationship with their partners (Paul et al., 2009). In addition, adolescents may have irregular periods (Friedman et al.,1998), making it difficult for them to detect pregnancy. One study found that teens took a week longer to suspect pregnancy than adults did; teens also took more time to confirm their pregnancies with a pregnancy test (Finer et al,, 2006). Also, as previously noted, delays are often caused by state laws requiring parental consent or court-authorized bypass for minors. ** pp.2-3 * Abortion After the First Trimester Is as Safe as/or Safer than Carrying a Pregnancy to Term <br> Overall, abortion has a low morbidity rate. Less than 0.3 percent of women undergoing legal abortion procedures at all gestational ages sustain a serious complication requiring hospitalization (Boonstra et al, 2006; Henshaw, 1999). The rate of complication increases 38 percent for each additional week of gestation beyond eight weeks (Paul et al, 2009). <br> The risk of death from medication abortion through 63 days’ gestation is about one per 100,000 procedures (Grimes, 2005). The risk of death with a surgical abortion is about one per one million through 63 days’ gestation (Bartlett et al., 2004) The risk of death from miscarriage is about one per 100,000 (Saraiya et al., 1999). But the risk of death associated with childbirth is about 14 times as high as that associated with abortion (Raymond & Grimes, 2012). <br> The risk of death associated with surgical abortion icreases with thelength of pregnancy, from one death for every one million abortions at eight or fewer weeks to 8.9 deaths for every one million abortions after 20 weeks’ gestation (Boonstra et al., 2006). In comparison, the maternal mortality rate in the U.S. in 2007 was 12. Deaths per 100,000 live births - a significant difference in maternal mortality rates between deciding to end a pregnancy by abortion or carrying it to term (Paul et al., 2009; XXu et al., 2010). ** p.3 * CURRENT LAW GUARANTEES WOMEN THE RIGHT TO ABORTION AFTER THE FIRST TRIMESTER <br> Legality of Abortion <br> In “Roe v. Wade’’ (410 U.S. 113 (1973)), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the U.S. Constitution protects a woman’s personal decision to end a pregnancy. Only after viability (being capable of sustained survival outside the woman’s body with or without artificial aid) may the states ban abortion altogether. Abortions necessary to preserve the woman’s life or health must still be allowed, however, even after viability. <br> Prior to viability, states can regulate abortion, but only if the regulation does not impose a “substantial obstacle” in the path of a woman deciding to have an abortion (Harrison & Gilbert, 1993). ** p.3 * In “Planned Parenthood of Central Missouri v. Danforth’’ (428 U.S. 52 (1976)), the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that judgments of viability are inexact and may vary with each pregnancy. As a result, it granted the attending physician the r ight to ascertain viability on an individual basis. IN addition, the court rejected as unconstitutional fixed gestational limits for determining viability. The court reaffirmed these rulings in the 1979 case “Colautti v. Franklin” (439 U.S. 379 (1979)). ** p.3 * In “City of Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health (462 U.S. 416 (1983)), the U.S, Supreme Court invalidated a costly requirement that all second-trimester abortions take place in a hospital. ** p.3 * In “Thornburgh v. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists” (476 U.S. 747 (1986)), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a woman may not be required to risk her health to save a pregnancy even after viability, and it granted the attending physician the right to determine when a pregnancy threatens a woman’s life or health. The court also ruled that when performing a post-viability abortion, a physician must be permitted to use the method most likely to preserve the woman’s health. <br> On April 18, 2007, in ‘’Gonzales v. Carhart’’ (550 U.S. 124 (2007, April 18) and ‘’Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.’’ (550 U.S. ___ (2007, April 18)), the U.S. Supreme Court ignored 30 years of precedent that held women’s health must be the paramount concern in laws that restrict abortion access, and in a 5-4 decision, upheld the so-called Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 (the “federal abortion ban”) * the first federal legislation to criminalize abortion. <br> The federal abortion ban, which does not contain an exception for the woman’s health, makes it a federal crime to take certain steps when performing an abortion after the first trimester. The ruling allows Congress to ban certain second-trimester abortion procedures, despite the fact that doctors and major medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, believe the banned procedures are sometimes the safest and best to protect women’s health. <br> The recent “Carhart” and “Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.’’ rulings may make it easier for states, as well as the federal government, to further limit a woman’s ability to end a pregnancy, especially after the first trimester. This shift will likely spur state efforts to enact new abortion restrictions. Indeed, opponents of women’s health continue to work tirelessly to chip away at or limit access for women. The Guttmacher Institute released a report showing that 70 provisions were passed in 22 states in 2013 to restrict access to abortion. More state abortion restrictions were enacted in 2011-2013 than in the entire previous decade (Guttmacher Institute, 2014a). ** pp.3-4 * Despite the federal abortion ban taking effect, Planned Parenthood will continue to provide high-quality care, including second-trimester abortions services, to our clients. Planned Parenthood will also continue to support vital efforts to protect access to safe and legal abortions services at the state and federal levels. <br> Currently, seven states - California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, and Washington - have passed Freedom of Choice Acts (FOCA), and other states are seeking to pass similar legislation (Guttmacher Institute, 2014b). Although state-level FOCAs have no impact on the federal abortion ban, such laws prohibit the state government from interfering with the decision to continue or end a pregnancy. ** p.4 === "Abortion in American History" (May 1997) === <small> Katha Pollitt, [https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1997/05/abortion-in-american-history/376851/ "Abortion in American History"], ''Atlantic Magazine''. (May 1997). </small> * Of all the issues roiling the ongoing culture wars, abortion is both the most intimate and the most common. Almost half of American women have terminated at least one pregnancy, and millions more Americans of both sexes have helped them, as partners, parents, health-care workers, counselors, friends. Collectively, it would seem, Americans have quite a bit of knowledge and experience of abortion. Yet the debate over legal abortion is curiously abstract: we might be discussing brain transplants. My files are crammed with articles assessing the question of when human life begins, the personhood of the fetus and its putative moral and legal status, and acceptable versus deplorable motives for terminating a pregnancy and the philosophical groundings of each one—not to mention the interests of the state, the medical profession, assorted religions, the taxpayer, the infertile, the fetal father, and even the fetal grandparent. Farfetched analogies abound: abortion is like the Holocaust, or slavery; denial of abortion is like forcing a person to spend nine months intravenously hooked up to a medically endangered stranger who happens to be a famous violinist. It sometimes seems that the further abortion is removed from the actual lives and circumstances of real girls and women, the more interesting it becomes to talk about. The famous-violinist scenario, the invention of the philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson, has probably inspired as much commentary as any philosophical metaphor since Plato's cave. * In When Abortion Was a Crime, Leslie J. Reagan demonstrates that abortion has been a common procedure—"part of life"—in America since the eighteenth century, both during the slightly more than half of our history as a nation when it has been legal and during the slightly less than half when it was not. * Until the last third of the nineteenth century, when it was criminalized state by state across the land, abortion was legal before "quickening" (approximately the fourth month of pregnancy). Colonial home medical guides gave recipes for "bringing on the menses" with herbs that could be grown in one's garden or easily found in the woods. By the mid eighteenth century commercial preparations were so widely available that they had inspired their own euphemism ("taking the trade"). Unfortunately, these drugs were often fatal. The first statutes regulating abortion, passed in the 1820s and 1830s, were actually poison-control laws: the sale of commercial abortifacients was banned, but abortion per se was not. The laws made little difference. By the 1840s the abortion business—including the sale of illegal drugs, which were widely advertised in the popular press—was booming. The most famous practitioner, Madame Restell, openly provided abortion services for thirty-five years, with offices in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia and traveling salespeople touting her "Female Monthly Pills." * In one of the many curious twists that mark the history of abortion, the campaign to criminalize it was waged by the same professional group that, a century later, would play an important role in legalization: physicians. The American Medical Association's crusade against abortion was partly a professional move, to establish the supremacy of "regular" physicians over midwives and homeopaths. More broadly, anti-abortion sentiment was connected to nativism, anti-Catholicism, and, as it is today, anti-feminism. Immigration, especially by Catholics and nonwhites, was increasing, while birth rates among white native-born Protestants were declining. (Unlike the typical abortion patient of today, that of the nineteenth century was a middle- or upper-class white married woman.) Would the West "be filled by our own children or by those of aliens?" the physician and anti-abortion leader Horatio R. Storer asked in 1868. "This is a question our women must answer; upon their loins depends the future destiny of the nation." (It should be mentioned that the nineteenth-century women's movement also opposed abortion, having pinned its hopes on "voluntary motherhood"—the right of wives to control the frequency and timing of sex with their husbands.) <br> Nonetheless, having achieved their legal goal, many doctors—including prominent members of the AMA—went right on providing abortions. Some late-nineteenth-century observers estimated that two million were performed annually (which would mean that in Victorian America the number of abortions per capita was seven or eight times as high as it is today). Reagan argues persuasively that our image of nineteenth-century medicine is too monolithically hierarchical: while medical journals inveighed against abortion (and contraception), women were often able to make doctors listen to their needs and even lower their fees. And because, in the era before the widespread use of hospitals, women chose the doctors who would attend their whole families through many lucrative illnesses, medical men had self-interest as well as compassion for a motive. Thus in an 1888 exposé undercover reporters for the Chicago Times obtained an abortion referral from no less a personage than the head of the Chicago Medical Society. (He claimed he was conducting his own investigation.) Unless a woman died, doctors were rarely arrested and even more rarely convicted. Even midwives—whom doctors continued to try to drive out of business by portraying them, unfairly, as dangerous abortion quacks—practiced largely unmolested. * Reagan's discussion of "dying declarations" makes particularly chilling reading: because the words of the dying are legally admissible in court, women on their deathbeds were informed by police or doctors of their imminent demise and harassed until they admitted to their abortions and named the people connected with them—including, if the woman was unwed, the man responsible for the pregnancy, who could be arrested and even sent to prison. In 1902 the editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association endorsed the by then common policy of denying a woman suffering from abortion complications medical care until she "confessed"—a practice that, Reagan shows, kept women from seeking timely treatment, sometimes with fatal results. In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from abortions. * Unsurprisingly, the Depression, during which women stood to lose their jobs if they married or had a child, saw a big surge in the abortion rate. Reagan describes clinics complete with doctors, nurses, receptionists, and printed instructions detailing follow-up care, and "birth-control clubs," whose members would pay regularly into a collective fund and draw abortion fees from it as needed. It was only in the 1940s and 1950s that organized medicine and the law combined to force these long-standing operations out of business and to disrupt the networks of communication by which women had found their way to them. Our popular image of illegal abortion as hard to find, extremely dangerous, sordid, and expensive dates from this period, as do the notorious "abortion wards" filled with women suffering from botched operations and attempts at self-abortion (always the most dangerous method). Well-connected white women with private health insurance were sometimes able to obtain "therapeutic" abortions, a never-defined category that remained legal throughout the epoch of illegal abortion. But these were rare, and almost never available to nonwhite or poor women. Even for the privileged, though, access to safe abortion narrowed throughout the fifties, as doctors, fearful of being prosecuted in a repressive political climate for interpreting "therapeutic abortion" too broadly, set up hospital committees to rule on abortion requests. Some committees were more compassionate than others: at Mount Sinai, in New York, suicide attempts were considered an appropriate indication; at other hospitals they were ignored. In one instance of particular callousness, when a teenager tried to kill herself after her request was turned down, the committee decided to hospitalize her for the rest of her pregnancy. (She eventually got her abortion, after her multiple suicide attempts proved too disruptive for the staff.) * The conventional wisdom today considers Roe v. Wade to be an avant-garde decision, "judicial activism" at either its enlightened best or its high-handed worst. Reagan places the decision in its historical context, showing that it was a logical response to the times. By the sixties the whole jerry-built structure of criminalization was crumbling, along with the ideology of gender and sexuality that lay behind it. Moderate reforms had already been tried: twelve states permitted abortion in instances of rape, incest, danger to physical or mental health, or fetal defect, but since most women, as always, sought abortions for economic, social, or personal reasons, illegal abortion continued to thrive (something to consider for those who advocate once again restricting legal abortion in this way). When New York State decriminalized abortion in 1970 and thousands of well-off women started traveling there to obtain safe abortions while their disadvantaged sisters continued to risk death at home, the inherent unfairness of a legal patchwork was thrown into bold relief (something to ponder for those who want to throw the issue "back to the states"). Far from foisting a radical departure on an unready nation, the Supreme Court was responding to a decade-long buildup of popular sentiment for change. The movement was spearheaded by doctors who saw firsthand the carnage created by illegal abortion (more than 5,000 deaths a year, mostly of black and Hispanic women), and whose hands were now firmly tied by the hospital committees they themselves had created. They were joined by civil-liberties lawyers, who brought to their briefs a keen understanding of criminalization's discriminatory effects; and by grassroots activists in the reborn women's movement, who by the end of the 1960s were resisting the law, forming such groups as the Society for Humane Abortion, in California, which denounced restrictions as insulting and humiliating to women, and Jane, in Chicago, which began as an abortion-referral service and ended by training its members to perform abortions themselves. * Legalizing abortion was a public-health triumph that for pregnant women ranked with the advent of antisepsis and antibiotics. In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45 percent. Today, however, the inequality of access that helped to bring illegality to an end is once again on the increase. More than 80 percent of U.S. counties have no abortion providers, and some whole states have only one or two. The Supreme Court has allowed states to erect barriers to abortion—denial of public funds for poor women's abortions, parental consent and notification requirements, mandatory delays, "counseling sessions." Anti-abortion zealots have committed arson, assault, and murder in their campaign against abortion clinics. A new generation of doctors, who have never seen a woman die from a septic abortion or been haunted by the suicide of a patient denied help, are increasingly reluctant to terminate pregnancies. Only 12 percent of medical schools teach first-trimester abortion as a routine aspect of gynecology. If Reagan is right to correlate anti-abortion activity with periods of high anxiety about feminism and radicalism generally, none of this should come as a surprise. She closes on an ominous note, sketching the possibility of a United States in which not only is abortion once again a crime but anti-abortion fanaticism brings on a Romania-style fetal-police state, complete with government-monitored pregnancies and police investigations of miscarriages. * I came away from the book more sanguine. One of Reagan's noteworthy findings, after all, is that the views of the American people about abortion have remained rather stable over two centuries. Attitudes toward early abortions—in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries those before quickening, today those in the first trimester—have always been much more permissive and matter-of-fact than attitudes toward later abortions, just as losing a pregnancy after one or two missed periods, however distressing to a woman who wants to bear a child, has always been seen as a smaller event than miscarrying at six months. Little in the American popular tradition resonates with the "pro-life" doctrine that condemns all abortions alike on the grounds that a fertilized egg is already a baby. Far from being a weird judicial concoction, as its opponents argue, Roe v. Wade's trimester system, which gradually extends the right of states to regulate and even ban most abortions as the fetus develops, reflects this folk understanding rather well. Similarly, the general lack of enthusiasm for prosecuting those who perform abortions and the almost total failure to prosecute and jail women for having them suggest that whatever Americans may consider abortion to be, it isn't baby killing, a crime our courts have always punished quite severely. === “Why the Medical Establishment Shied Away From Abortion” (Jan. 21, 2022) === <small> Eyal Press, [https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/21/opinion/roe-v-wade-abortion-doctors-violence.html “Why the Medical Establishment Shied Away From Abortion”], ''The New York Times'', (Jan. 21, 2022) </small> * Dr. Slepian’s murder was part of a string of sniper attacks targeting abortion providers in their homes. In Buffalo, as elsewhere, the lethal violence was preceded by years of protests and blockades that turned the places where abortions were performed into battlegrounds. At my father’s office, women were routinely screamed at and harassed, to the point that some would come through the doors in tears. There were threatening phone calls and acts of vandalism. On several occasions, protesters invaded the office and once even chained themselves together with bicycle locks. Demonstrators at my father’s office and in front of my parents’ home accused my father of being a “baby killer.” <br> This violence and harassment did not stop every doctor who believed women should have access to abortion from continuing to serve as a provider. In my father’s case, it had the opposite effect, deepening his commitment and resolve. <br> But it did help to isolate abortion from mainstream medicine, in part by dissuading countless physicians from incorporating the procedure into their medical practices, as my father did at his office. Had a critical mass of doctors adopted this approach, the crisis in abortion care that exists today, where many women in the South and the Midwest are forced to travel more than 100 miles to find a clinic, might not have reached such an acute stage. Abortion might have become a more routine part of reproductive health care, with more OB-GYNs seeing it as part of their professional [[responsibility]]. By 2017, just 1 percent of abortions were performed in private offices, owing in part to the fact that doing so carries risks that most physicians, including many who are sympathetic to abortion rights, generally prefer to avoid. * That individual physicians might [[wish]] to avoid turning themselves — and, potentially, their patients, co-workers and families — into targets of [[wrath]] and [[violence]] is understandable. Less understandable is the failure of the mainstream medical community, and an array of powerful institutions within it, to respond to the hostility and violence directed at clinics and abortion providers by affirming support for them. Hospital officials could have stepped forward to assert that they, too, would help ensure that abortion services remained available, particularly in states and communities where clinics were under siege. Medical school deans could have announced that they would redouble their commitment to providing training in abortion to residents at teaching hospitals. <br> Taking such steps would have demanded [[courage]]. Little such courage was shown. By 2017, the percentage of all abortions done in hospitals had dwindled to 3 percent, and many teaching hospitals impose restrictions on performing abortions that are more stringent than the legal requirements in their states. Although the reasons for this vary, the desire to avoid the stigma associated with abortion, and the [[risk]] of provoking abortion opponents, looms large, according to Lori Freedman, a medical sociologist who has studied the phenomenon. “Some hospital administrators are [[afraid]] the hospital will become targeted by anti-abortion forces for doing procedures at all,” she said. “Some have had such experiences already.” * As the sociologist Carole Joffe has noted, most of the nation’s leading medical organizations failed to issue any significant guidelines on abortion immediately after Roe was decided. That reticence reflected the conflicted feelings many doctors had about a procedure that some linked to infamous back-alley “butchers,” and that others associated with feminists who were claiming authority over their bodies in ways that made many male doctors uncomfortable. (Notably, although the American Medical Association asserted in a 1970 resolution that the principles of medical ethics “do not prohibit a physician from preforming an abortion,” the document stated that abortion procedures should be determined by the “sound clinical judgment” of medical professionals, not “mere [[acquiescence]] to the patient’s [[demand]].”) Some doctors also believed that abortion was [[morally]] [[wrong]]. <br> In subsequent decades, professional associations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists “danced around the issue” of abortion for fear of [[alienating]] members who might not support abortion [[rights]], said Doug Laube, an abortion provider who served as ACOG’s president from 2006-2007. Though the organization is formally pro-choice, Dr. Laube told me that during his tenure as president he observed that the stigma associated with abortion made ACOG reluctant to “advocate for abortion services as regular, [[normal]] medical care.” * According to the National Abortion Federation, which tracks such data, the number of death threats and threats of harm reported by abortion providers more than doubled in 2020, compared to the previous year. Reports of vandalism and stalking also rose. <br> Melissa Fowler, the group’s chief program officer, attributed the escalation to the fact that anti-abortion extremists have felt emboldened. She expressed particular alarm about reports of protesters showing up outside clinics, openly carrying guns, menacing and frightening patients and staff. “We wouldn’t tolerate this in any other medical field,” she said. “If people saw it on their way to the [[dentist]], it would be deemed unacceptable.” <br> The [[passivity]] and [[silence]] of the medical establishment, of medical school deans and hospital officials, and of too many (privately) pro-choice physicians, is not the only reason such [[intimidation]] fails to elicit outrage, or even to be noticed, when it happens outside an abortion clinic. But it is definitely part of the reason. Thanks to their acquiescence, [[terrorism]], intimidation and [[violence]] have won. === "FDA relaxes guidelines for abortion pill - The Portland Press Herald" (March 30, 2016) === <small> [https://www.pressherald.com/2016/03/30/fda-relaxes-guidelines-for-abortion-pill/ "FDA relaxes guidelines for abortion pill - The Portland Press Herald"]. March 30, 2016. </small> * WASHINGTON — New recommendations for the abortion pill announced Wednesday by the Food and Drug Administration could increase use of the medication to terminate a pregnancy in the United States. <br> The new label changes the recommended dosage of the two drugs used in the abortion process. It allows the treatment to be used up to 70 days into pregnancy – three weeks longer than the old guidelines. And it relaxes prescriber guidelines to allow, for example, a nurse practitioner to administer the drugs rather than a physician. * “The label change for medication abortion will mean that it will once again be a real option for Preterm’s patients and women across the state,” Chrisse France, executive director of Preterm, an abortion provider in Ohio, said in a statement. “We will no longer be forced to practice medicine mandated by politicians whose ultimate goal is to shut us down.” <br> Anti-abortion groups noted that the new label carries over the old label’s warnings of some of the dangers associated with the drug – including the very rare possibility of infection or death. <br> “The new label affirms the deadly realities of chemical abortion and underscores the need for in-person patient examination and follow-up care as well as the fact that the abortion drug regimen presents serious risks to women’s health,” Anna Paprocki, staff attorney for Americans United for Life, said in a statement. * The FDA said that the manufacturer of Mifeprex, Danco Laboratories, applied for the updated label as part of a “supplemental new drug application” submitted to the agency in late May. The company proposed that the treatment be used to end a pregnancy through the first 70 days of gestation – that’s 70 days from the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period. Under the original labeling, the treatment was to be used through the first 49 days of gestation. * The agency said that cramping and vaginal bleeding are possible side effects of the treatment, and that in some cases surgery will be needed to stop very heavy vaginal bleeding. Other potential side effects, the FDA said, include headache, diarrhea, dizziness and vomiting. === "Supreme Court takes up blockbuster case over Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban" === <small> Quinn, Melissa (May 17, 2021).[ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-abortion-rights-case-mississippi/ "Supreme Court takes up blockbuster case over Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban"]. CBS News. Retrieved May 17, 2021. </small> * At issue in the case before the justices is a Mississippi law enacted in 2018 that prohibits most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The state's only abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, swiftly filed suit to challenge the law, and the federal district court struck down the ban, finding it unconstitutional. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, citing Supreme Court's abortion precedent. <br> Mississippi's attorney general urged the Supreme Court to hear its appeal, arguing in court filings the case presents it with an opportunity to reconcile its "conflicting statements regarding the test to apply when analyzing the validity of a pre-viability law that protects women's health, the dignity of unborn children, and the integrity of the medical profession and society." <br> "[T]he viability rule was created outside the ordinary crucible of litigation, failed to take account of the state's accepted interest in maternal health and fetal pain, is increasingly out of step with other areas of the law, rejects science and common sense, and is shaky precedent at best," the state argued. "The court should revisit it." * But the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing Jackson Women's Health Organization, argued the court should reject Mississippi's argument, as it is "based on a misunderstanding of the core principle of" the Supreme Court's past decisions. <br> "Roe and Casey, and the Court's subsequent cases, are clear that, before viability, it is for the pregnant person, and not the state, to make the ultimate decision whether to continue a pregnancy," attorneys for the group told the Supreme Court. "A pre-viability abortion ban unquestionably contravenes this fundamental tenet of the Court's abortion jurisprudence." <br> Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said following the Supreme Court's decision to take the case that "alarm bells are ringing loudly about the threat to reproductive rights" and warned a ruling reversing Roe would lead numerous states to outlaw abortion outright. <br> "Already, abortion is nearly impossible to access for people in states like Mississippi, where lawmakers have been chipping away at the right to abortion for decades," she said. "We will keep fighting to make sure that people do not lose this fundamental right to control their own bodies and futures." * But the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion rights ground, applauded the Supreme Court for agreeing to hear Mississippi's appeal. <br> "This is a landmark opportunity for the Supreme Court to recognize the right of states to protect unborn children from the horrors of painful late-term abortions," Marjorie Dannenfelser, the group's president, said in a statement, adding that it's "time for the Supreme Court to catch up to scientific reality and the resulting consensus of the American people as expressed in elections and policy." * White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that President Biden is committed to codifying Roe regardless of how the Supreme Court rules in the case. <br> "Over the last four years, critical rights like the right to health care, the right to choose have been under withering and extreme attack, including through draconian state laws," she said. "The president and the vice president are devoted to ensuring that every American has access to health care, including reproductive health care, regardless of their income, zip code, race, health insurance status or immigration status." === "Answers to Questions About the Texas Abortion Law" (September1, 2021) === <small> Rabin, Roni Caryn, [https://web.archive.org/web/20211001005809/https:/www.nytimes.com/2021/09/01/health/texas-abortion-law-facts.html "Answers to Questions About the Texas Abortion Law"]. ''The New York Times''. (September 1, 2021) </small> * A Texas law banning most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy went into effect on Wednesday, despite the 1973 Supreme Court decision that established a constitutional right to the procedure, making the state the most restrictive in the nation in terms of access to abortion services. <br> Other states have passed similar laws, but those measures face legal challenges. The Texas law is the first to be implemented. On a vote of 5 to 4, the court refused just before midnight on Wednesday to block the law. <br> Because of the way the law was written, it may be difficult to challenge in court, representing a sea change in the battle over abortion rights and inviting imitation by other jurisdictions seeking to tamp down access to abortion. <br> “These laws are unconstitutional, as we have understood Supreme Court rulings until now, and courts have quickly issued preliminary injunctions blocking enforcement,” said Elizabeth Nash, state policy analyst for the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights. <br> “This is the first one that has gone into effect,” she added. “This is huge in that respect.” * “It is extremely possible and very common for people to get to the six-week mark and not know they are pregnant,” said Dr. Jennifer Villavicencio, lead for equity transformation at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. <br> The cardiac activity detected on ultrasound is not a true heartbeat, Dr. Villavicencio added. It results from electrical activity, but the valves of the heart have not yet formed. And the sound does not indicate the pregnancy is viable, she said. <br> “Forcing them to find out about a pregnancy and make a decision about how to manage it in a short period of time is antithetical to ethical care,” Dr. Villavicencio said. * The law does not make exceptions for rape or incest. It does permit abortions for health reasons, but the exceptions are narrowly drawn, allowing a termination only if the pregnancy could endanger the mother’s life or lead to “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function,” Ms. Nash noted. <br> “These are very narrow exceptions,” she said, and the language does not cover every instance in which a woman’s health might be at risk. Nonetheless, she added, “Health providers will be very conservative about interpreting the law, because they don’t want to cross a line.” * Abortion providers in Texas estimate that 85 percent of patients seeking abortion are at least six weeks pregnant and would be denied care under the new state law. <br> There are seven million women of childbearing age in Texas, and the law will make it more difficult for all of them to obtain abortions in the state, as legislators intended. <br> But the measure will create nearly insurmountable obstacles for certain vulnerable populations, abortion providers said. Among them: teenagers, who often don’t realize they are pregnant until later in a pregnancy; low-income people, who need to find about $550 to cover the cost of the procedure; and people of color, including undocumented immigrants. * About 70 percent of abortions in Texas in 2019 were provided to women of color, according to the Guttmacher Institute. <br> Texas requires minors to obtain permission from a parent or guardian to gain access to abortion care. Some minors must go to court to do so, adding to the delays, said Rosann Mariappuram, executive director of Jane’s Due Process in Austin, Texas, which helps teenagers get abortions. <br> Kamyon Conner, the executive director of the Texas Equal Access Fund, which helps low-income women pay for abortions, said she was particularly concerned about the new law’s potential impact on Black women in Texas, who already face high maternal mortality rates. <br> Undocumented women cannot travel easily around the state to get access to care, she added, and women with chronic illnesses can find a pregnancy life-threatening. === Most Who Know of Decision Agree With Supreme Court on Partial Birth Abortion (April 22, 2007) === <small> Most Who Know of Decision Agree With Supreme Court on Partial Birth Abortion [https://web.archive.org/web/20070427034834/http:/rasmussenreports.com/2007/April%20Dailies/partialBirthAbortion.htm Archived] April 27, 2007, at the Wayback Machine Rasmussen Reports. April 22, 2007. </small> * The Supreme Court’s recent decision on partial-birth abortion has not caught the attention of most Americans. Perhaps because it was released during the same week as the tragedy at Virginia Tech, just 26% of American adults said they followed news stories of the Court’s decision Very Closely. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 40% knew the ruling allowed states to place some restrictions on specific abortion procedures. Sixteen percent (16%) mistakenly believed the decision did not allow states to enact such restrictions. A plurality (44%) did not know one way or the other. <br> Among those who knew what the Court decided, 56% agreed with the decision and 32% were opposed. Twelve percent (12%) were not sure. * Overall, among all adults, 53% believe that abortion is morally wrong most of the time. Thirty-two percent (32%) disagree. Those numbers have changed little over the past year and there is virtually no difference of opinion between men and women. Upper-income Americans are the least likely to see abortion as morally wrong. Last year’s survey found that 61% of Americans know someone who has had an abortion. <br> By a 71% to 22% margin, Republicans believe that abortion is morally wrong most of the time. Democrats are evenly divided on that question. * Forty-five percent (45%) of American adults believe that it is too easy for a woman to get an abortion in the United States. Twenty-two percent (22%) say it is too hard while 21% say the balance is about right. Those numbers are little changed from a year ago. <br> Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans believe it is too easy for a woman to get an abortion. Just 14% of the GOP faithful believe it is too hard. Among Democrats, 36% believe it is too easy and 30% believe it is too hard. * While abortion often becomes an election issue, it is not likely to have much impact until the general election. All candidates seeking the Democratic Presidential nomination issued statements opposing the ruling while those seeking the Republican nomination supported it. <br> Among the general population, 51% of Republicans knew what the Court decided last week. Just 35% of Democrats were able to do so. === “Culture wars: an encyclopedia of issues, viewpoints, and voices" (2010) === <small> Claire E. Ramussen, “Abortion”; in Chapman, Roger.

Inc'', (2010) </small> * In the United States in the late 1800s, a coalition of women’s rights activists and doctors campaigned to outlaw abortions most of which were being performed by practitioners without medical training or being attempted by the pregnant woman herself. These “back alley abortions” resulted in many deaths and injuries. By 1900 abortion was banned throughout the United States. By the mid-1900 abortion was banned throughout the United States. By the mid-1900s, however, the medical profession has changed its position on abortion. By that time, private physicians were able to perform safe abortions, and they did so in certain situations, particularly if a pregnancy was caused by rape or incest or if the life of the mother was at risk. Physicians joined with the growing feminist movement to decriminalize abortion. ** pp.1 * The American Medical Association endorsed legalized abortion in 1967. Medical professionals reported that each year they were treating thousands of women who had obtained illegal abortions and had been injured as a consequence. Believing that abortions were inevitable in American society, they argued that legalizing the practice would allow trained medical staffs to perform safe procedures in medical facilities. Religious leaders in more liberal Christian denominations also became advocates. These included the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church, the Episcopalian Church, and the United Presbyterian Church. <br> The anti-abortion movement also began to grow in the 1960s and became a leading opponent of the ''Roe v. Wade'' ruling. The Roman Catholic Church became a powerful voice in opposition to abortion in the 1960s, when the National Conference of Catholic Bishops organized the Family Life Division (FLD). After 1973, leaders of the FLD formed the National Right to Life Committee, which became the largest-antiabortion organization. Led by John Wilke, the group fought for changes to abortion laws at the legislative level through lobbying and sponsored publication of anti-abortion materials for distribution to voters. ** pp.1-2 * Anti-abortion violence rose dramatically in the 1980s and 1990s. In a series of related incidents, several abortion clinics in Florida were bombed on Christmas Day 1984. In 1993, Dr. David Gunn was shot and killed in front of his clinic by Michael F. Griffin, an anti-abortion activist, who surrendered to police at the scene and was sentenced to life in prison. In 1998, Dr. Bernard Slepian, a doctor known to provide abortion services, was shot and killed at his home in Amherst, New York, near Buggalo, by a sniper. In 2001, James Kopp, a member of a radical anti-abortion group, was arrested in France for the Slepian murder. Kopp was eventually extradited to New York and convicted of second degree murder. Incidents of violence against clinics declined after 2000, but abortion clinics still report more than a thousand incidents per year, affecting approximately a third of all such sites. ** p.2 * The anti-abortion movement has largely succeeded in restricting the ability of women to obtain abortion services. As of 2008, even though early-term abortion was largely unregulated by law, 88 percent of counties in the United States had no abortion services. In practice, this means that women seeking abortion must travel to large urban areas, where abortion procedures are more readily available. The movement’s success in restricting practical access proves that determined resistance can go far toward nullifying legal rulings that a large, devoted group finds unjust. The pro-life movement has been less successful in affecting public opinion on abortion. Recent polls by a variety of polling organizations show that a majority of adults continue to believe that abortion should be available to women “all the time” or “most of the time.” A substantial minority believes it should be available only in special cases, but fewer than 10 percent believe it should be outlawed in all cases. ** pp.2-3 === "The Comparative Safety of Legal Induced Abortion and Childbirth in the United States" (February 2012) === <small> Raymond, Elizabeth G.; Grimes, David A.

[https://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/Fulltext/2012/02000/The_Comparative_Safety_of_Legal_Induced_Abortion.3.aspx "The Comparative Safety of Legal Induced Abortion and Childbirth in the United States"]. ''Obstetrics & Gynecology''. 119 (2, Part 1): 215–219. </small> * The pregnancy-associated mortality rate among women who delivered live neonates was 8.8 deaths per 100,000 live births. The mortality rate related to induced abortion was 0.6 deaths per 100,000 abortions. In the one recent comparative study of pregnancy morbidity in the United States, pregnancy-related complications were more common with childbirth than with abortion. <br> CONCLUSION: <br> Legal induced abortion is markedly safer than childbirth. The risk of death associated with childbirth is approximately 14 times higher than that with abortion. Similarly, the overall morbidity associated with childbirth exceeds that with abortion. * Decades of research have demonstrated that legal induced abortion is safe. Mortality and serious acute complications are extremely rare. Recently, allegations of later sequelae—breast cancer and mental illness—were refuted. However, laws in 22 states in the United States now require that before an abortion is performed, the patient must be given detailed, specific verbal or written information about potential risks. In some cases, this material is misleading or patently wrong. <br> Health policy and medical practice should be based on the best available evidence. In the past 10 years, the introduction of new abortion methods may have affected the overall safety of the procedure. Notably, mifepristone was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for medical abortion in 2000; by 2008, approximately 17% of all nonhospital abortions were performed medically rather than surgically. In addition, changes in the risk profile of pregnant women—for example, as a result of growing obesity and an upward shift in the maternal age distribution—as well as the rising cesarean delivery rate may have enhanced the risks of the alternative to abortion, childbirth. The objective of this review is to provide an updated assessment2 of the safety of abortion relative to delivery. * Between 1998 and 2005, the pregnancy-associated mortality rate among women known to have delivered live neonates in the United States was 8.8 deaths per 100,000 live births. Of all pregnancy-associated deaths of women with known pregnancy outcome, 71% occurred after live births; if 71% of women with unknown pregnancy outcome who died of pregnancy-associated causes are also assumed to have had live births, the mortality estimate increases to 10.4 deaths per 100,000 live births. The mortality rate related to legal induced abortion during that same interval was 0.6 deaths per 100,000 abortions. Thus, according to federal statistics, the risk of death associated with childbirth was approximately 14 times higher than that with abortion. * Only one recent study provided comparative data on morbidity associated with various pregnancy outcomes in the United States. Epidemiologists at the CDC examined all International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnoses reported during or within 8 weeks after all 24,481 pregnancies among members of the Kaiser Permanente Northwest Health Maintenance Organization between 1998 and 2001. Of these pregnancies, 16,824 ended in live birth, 4,192 in induced abortion, and the rest in spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, or other outcomes. Common maternal morbidities were defined as conditions either unique to pregnancy or potentially exacerbated by pregnancy that occurred in at least 5% of all pregnancies. <br> Every complication was more common among women having live births than among those having abortions. The relative risks of morbidity with live birth compared with abortion were 1.3 for mental health conditions, 1.8 for urinary tract infection, 4.4 for postpartum hemorrhage, 5.2 for obstetric infections, 24 for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, 25 for antepartum hemorrhage, and 26 for anemia. * Legal abortion in the United States remains much safer than childbirth. The difference in risk of death is approximately 14-fold. Abortion also is associated with substantially less pregnancy-related morbidity. These results are consistent with prior analyses of national data.2 Indeed, the relative safety of abortion has increased substantially since the first decade after nationwide legalization, when child birth-related mortality was approximately seven times the mortality related to abortion.15 Although we could not find data that allowed comparable calculations of mortality or morbidity associated with surgical and medical abortion, Danco Laboratories, the distributor of mifepristone in the United States, has identified only 11 pregnancy-related deaths among the estimated 1.6 million women who have used the drug in the United States since 2000, which is a mortality rate of 0.7 per 100,000 users (Abigail Long, Danco Laboratories, LLC, personal communication). Clearly, the growing use of medical regimens has not increased relative abortion risk overall. <br> The disparity between abortion and childbirth safety is not surprising. Pregnancies ending in abortion are substantially shorter than those ending in childbirth and thus entail less time for pregnancy-related problems to occur. Many dangerous pregnancy-related complications such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and placental abnormalities manifest themselves in late pregnancy; early abortion avoids these hazards. Moreover, in the United States in 2008, one third of births occurred by cesarean delivery, an abdominal operation with substantial morbidity. * [P]atients undergoing abortion appear to be at higher underlying risk than women who opt for delivery. Women who had abortions were more likely to be African American or unmarried, demographic characteristics strongly associated with increased mortality. In addition, because comorbidities are sometimes the motivation for abortion, the underlying medical risk of patients undergoing abortion may be higher than that of other pregnant women. Women in good health may be more likely to choose to continue their pregnancies than those who are ill (selection bias termed the “healthy mother” effect). Thus, mortality among patients undergoing abortion may overestimate the mortality risk of the procedure itself. * Pregnant women considering their options deserve accurate information about comparative risks. Currently, some state laws and policies violate this standard. In Texas, for example, the mandatory 23-page pamphlet, “A Woman's Right-to-Know,” lists 12 potential complications of medical abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol, 12 of suction curettage, and 11 of dilation and evacuation. In contrast, the pamphlet names only six potential complications of vaginal delivery and eight of cesarean delivery. To laypersons who have little understanding of medical risk but can count complications, these tallies may imply that abortion has more complications than does childbirth. Similarly, the mortality statistics are presented as fractions with one in the numerator and with large denominators (eg, 8,475). Empiric evidence has demonstrated that women with less formal education than a college degree have trouble comparing risks expressed in this manner. Mortality risk should be expressed as number of deaths per 100,000, which is an easier format to understand.<br> Laws that compel exposure of women to such biased material thwart informed choice and contravene the ethical principle of autonomy.24 Moreover, they put clinicians in the untenable position of having to be complicit in misleading their patients. Since the early 1970s, the public health evidence has been clear and incontrovertible: induced abortion is safer than childbirth. === “When abortion was a crime: women, medicine, and law in the United States, 1867-1973” (December 31, 1996) === <small> Leslie J.

Indeed, it was physicians and lawyers who initiated the earliest efforts to rewrite the abortion laws. Ultimately, women’s pressing need for abortion fueled a mass movement that succeeded in reversing public policy toward abortion in the 1960s and 1970s. ** “Introduction”, p.1 * This is the first study of the entire era of illegal abortion in the United States. Most scholarship on abortion was criminalized in the mid-nineteenth century, and when it was decriminalized a hundred years later in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. The century of illegal abortion is typically treated as obscure and unchanging. I find, however, that the history of illegal abortion was dynamic, not static. ** p.2 * Abortion serves as a case study for rethinking the nature of the state in the United States. Much of the regulation of abortion was carried out not by government agents, but by voluntary agencies and individuals. The state expected the medical profession to assist in enforcing the law. It may be more accurate to think of the state apparatus not as the government, but as consisting of official agencies that work in conjunction with other semiofficial agencies. State officials, this history and others show, have often relied on “private” agents to act as part of the state. <br> Feminist scholars in the 1970s tended to see the medical profession as the source of the regulation of female sexuality and reproduction, but the medical profession’s role was more complex. This book shifts the attention to the state’s interest in controlling abortion and the alliance between medicine and the state. It would have been virtually impossible for the state to enforce the criminal abortion laws without the cooperation of physicians. State officials won medical cooperation in suppressing abortion by threatening doctors and medical institutions with prosecution or scandal. Physicians learned to protect themselves from legal trouble by reporting to official women injured or dying as a result of illegal abortions. By the 1940s and 1950s, physicians and hospitals had become so accustomed to this regulatory stance toward women and abortion that they instituted new regulations to observe and curb the practice of abortion in the hospital. The medical profession and its institutions acted as an arm of the state. ** p.3 * This book is the first to chart the nation’s enforcement of the criminal abortion laws. To understand the power of law in the lives of the masses of Americans requires that one take seriously the experiences of ordinary people caught in criminal investigations. Thus it is necessary to analyze the processes and routine procedures of the legal system that shape those experiences. Most historians of crime and punishment have focused on police and prisons, while historians of women and the law have focused mainly on marriage and property rights, not crime. Surprisingly little historical work has examined the relationship between medicine and law. Few have studied law in practice. Analysis of the day-to-day workings of the legal system, rather than statutory changes, judicial rulings, or the volume of cases, reveals how the law intervened in the lives of ordinary citizens to regulate reproductive and sexual behavior. ** pp.4-5 * Law is not fixed but fluid. The criminal abortion laws passed in every state by 1880 made exceptions for therapeutic abortions performed in order to save a woman’s life. Because the laws governing abortion did not precisely define what was criminal and what was not, this had to be worked out in practice, in policing, and in the courts. The complexity of defining “legal” and “illegal” abortions for medical practitioners and legal authorities alike, the gray and evershifting nature of “criminality,” is an important theme in this book. Nor was medical understanding of therapeutic abortion stable. Medicine too is interpretive and changing. Throughout the period of illegal abortion, physicians disagreed on the conditions that mandated a therapeutic abortion and on the methods: there was no consensus. Changes in medicine influenced legal definitions of crime; at the same time, the law shaped medical thinking and practice. The medical profession and the legal profession each looked to the other the define the legality of abortion practices. Therapeutic abortion became increasingly important in the 1930s; by the 1960s the practice (and nonpractice) of therapeutic abortion was at the very heart of the campaign to reform and repeal the criminal abortion laws. ** p.5 * The illegality of abortion had hidden the existence of an unarticulated, alternative, popular morality, which supported women who had abortions. This popular ethic contradicted the law, the official attitude of the medical profession, and the teachings of some religions. Private discussions among family and friends, conversations between women and doctors, and the behavior of women (and the people who aided them) suggest that traditional ideas that accepted early abortions endured into the twentieth century. Furthermore, through the 1920s at least, working-class women did not make a distinction between contraception and abortion. What I call a popular morality that accepted abortion was almost never publicly expressed but was rooted in people’s daily lives. Americans have a long history of accepting abortion in certain situations as a necessity and as a decision that, implicitly, belongs to women to make. This popular attitude made itself felt in the courts and in doctors’ offices: prosecutors found it difficult to convict abortionists because juries regularly nullified the law by acquitting abortionists, and few physicians escaped the pressure from women for abortions. Throughout the period of illegal abortion, women asserted their need for abortion and, in doing so, implicitly asserted their sense of having a right to control their own reproduction. ** p.6 * Abortion was not always a crime. During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, abortion of early pregnancy was legal under common law. Abortions were illegal only after “quickening,” the point at which a pregnant woman could feel the movements of the fetus (approximately the fourth month of pregnancy). ** p.8 * Colonial and early-nineteenth-century women, historians have learned, perceived conception as the “blocking” or “obstructing” of menstruation, which required attention. The cessation of the menses indicated a worrisome imbalance in the body and the need to bring the body back into balance by restoring the flow. ** p.8 * Both of these concepts, blocked menses and quickening, must be taken seriously by late-twentieth century observers. Blocked menses cannot be dismissed as an excuse made by women who knew they were pregnant. Quickening was a moment recognized by women and by law as a defining moment in human development. Once quickening occurred, women recognized a moral obligation to carry the fetus to term. This age-old idea underpinned the practice of abortion in America. The legal acceptance of induced miscarriages before quickening tacitly assumed that women had a basic right to bodily integrity. ** p.9 * By the mid-eighteenth century, the most common means of inducing abortion-by taking drugs-was commercialized. The availability of abortifacients was so well-known that a common euphemism described their use. When Sarah Grosvenor, a Connecticut farm girl, confided to her sister in 1742 that she was “taking the trade,” her sister understood. That Grosvenor successfully conveyed her meaning to her sister in three metaphoric words tells us a great deal about the world of mid-eighteenth century New England. Many New Englanders, including these sisters, knew of the possibility of inducing an abortion by purchasing and ingesting drugs. The need for a euphemism tells of the difficulty of speaking only about sex and reproductive control and of the need for secrecy. Yet it reveals an awareness that women could and did regulate their own fertility through abortion. Furthermore, abortifacient had become a profitable product sold by doctors, apothecaries, and other healers. ** pp.9-10 * The first statutes governing abortion in the United States, James Mohr had found, were poison control measures designed to protect pregnant women like Grosvenor by controlling the sale of abortifacient drugs which often killed the women who took them. The proliferation of entrepreneurs who openly sold and advertised abortifacients may have inspired this early legislation, passed in the 1820s and 1830s. The 1827 Illinois law, which prohibited the provision of abortifacients, was listed under “poisoning”. <br> It is crucial to recognize what these early-nineteenth-century laws did not cover: they did not punish women for inducing abortions, and they did not eliminate the concept of quickening. Even as poison control measures, they said nothing about growing the plants needed in one’s own garden or mixing together one’s own home remedy in order to induce an abortion. The legal silence on domestic practices suggests that the new laws were aimed at the commercialization of this practice and, implicitly, retained to women the right to make their own decisions about their pregnancies before quickening. <br> By the 1840s, the abortion business boomed. Despite the laws forbidding the sale of abortifacients, they were advertised in the popular press and could be purchased from physicians or pharmacists or through the mail. If dugs filed, women could go to a practitioner who specialized in performing instrumental abortions. Advertisements and newspaper exposes made it appear that what had been an occasional domestic practice had become a daily occurrence performed for profit in northern cities. Madame Restell, for example, openly advertised and provided abortion services for thirty-five years. Restell began her abortion business in New York City in the late 1830s; by the mid 1840s, she had offices in Boston and Philadelphia and traveling agents who sold her “Female Monthly Pills.” Restell became the most infamous abortionist in the country, but she was not the only abortionist. The clientele of these busy clinics were primarily married, white, native-born Protestant women of the upper and middle classes. ** p.10 * In 1857, the newly organized AMA initiated a crusade to make abortion at every stage of pregnancy illegal. The antiabortion campaign grew in part, James Mohr has shown, out of regular physicians’ desire to win professional power, control medical practice, and restrict their competitors, particularly Homeopaths and midwives. “Regular,” or “orthodox,” physicians, practitioners of “heroic” medicine, had come under attack in the 1820s and 1830s as elitist. They faced competition from a variety of practitioners from other medical sets, collectively known as “Irregulars.” Through the 1870s, regular physicians across the country worked for the passage of new criminal abortion laws. In securing criminal abortion laws, the Regulars won recognition of their particular views as well as some state control over the practice of medicine. <Br> Though professional issues underlay the medical campaign, gender, racial, and class anxieties pushed the criminalization of abortion forward The visible use of abortion by middle-class married women, in conjunction with other challenges to gender norms and changes in the social makeup of the nation, generated anxieties among American men of the same class. Birth rates among Yankee classes had declines by midcentury while immigrants poured into the country. Antiabortion activists pointed out that immigrant families, many of them Catholic, were larger and would soon out populate native-born white Yankees and threaten their political power. Dr. Horatio R. Storer, the leader of the medical campaign against abortion, envisioned the spread of “civilization” west and south by native-born white Americans, not Mexicans, Chinese, Blacks, Indians, or Catholics. “”Shall” these regions, he asked, “be filled by our own children or by those of aliens? This is a question our women must answer; upon their loins depends the future destiny of the nation.” Hostility to immigrants, Catholics, and people of color fueled this campaign to criminalize abortion. White male patriotism demanded that maternity be enforced among white Protestant women. ** pp.10-11 * Regular medical men had entered the debate about sexual politics by attacking the female practice of abortion as immoral, unwomanly, and unpatriotic. In giving abortion new meaning, the Regulars provided a weapon that white, native-born, male legislators could use against the women of their own class who had been agitating for personal and political reform. Regular physicians won passage of new criminal abortion laws because their campaign appealed to a set of fears of white, native born, male elites about losing political power to Catholic immigrants and to women. Class privilege did not protect middle-class white women from public policy designed to control them. Although the criminalization of abortion was aimed at middle-class white women, it affected women of every class and race. The new laws passed across the country between 1860 and 1880 regarded abortion in an entirely different light from common law and the statutes regulating abortifacients. In general, the laws included two innovations: they eliminated the common-law idea of quickening and prohibited abortion ay ay point in pregnancy. Some included punishment for the women who had abortions. The “Comstock Law” passed in 1873 included abortion and birth control in federal antiobscenity legislation, states and municipalities passed similar ordinances. ** p.13 * The antiabortion laws made one exception: physicians could perform therapeutic abortions if pregnancy and childbirth threatened the woman’s life. A bill criminalizing abortion unless done for “’bona fide’’ medical or surgical purposes” passed the Illinois state legislature unanimously and was signed into law in 1867. A few years later, Illinois passed another law prohibiting the sale of abortifacients but made an exception for “the written prescription of some well non and respectable practicing physician.” Physicians had won the criminalization of abortion and retained to themselves alone the right to induce abortions when they determined it necessary. <br> Through the antiabortion campaign, doctors claimed scientific authority to define life and death. In doing, they claimed the authority of religious leaders. In leading this moral crusade and thoroughly criticizing the ministry’s lack of interest in abortion, regular doctors set themselves above religious leaders as well as above the general populace. The medical profession’s claim to moral purity and the authority of the clergy was a stepping-stone to greater social authority. Regular physicians won an important victory when they persuaded the nation’s states to criminalize abortion. Physicians entered a new partnership with the state and won the power to set reproductive policy. In the process, women’s perceptions of pregnancy were delegitimated and women lost what had been a common-law right. ** pp.13-14 * During the more than one hundred years that abortion was illegal in the United States, the patterns, practice, policing, and politics of abortion all changed over time, though not always simultaneously. ** p.14 * The epoch of illegal abortion may be broken down into four periods. The first covers the time from the criminalization of abortion state-by-state, accomplished nationwide by 1880, to 1930. This period, covering fifty years, is heavily marked by continuity. As other historians have also found, the reproductive lives of most women and the day-to-day practice of most physicians changed slowly. In this period, abortion was widely accepted and was practiced in women’s homes and in the offices of physicians and midwives. The diversity of practitioners, the privacy of medical practice, and the autonomy of physicians in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries made the widespread medical practice of abortion possible. A crackdown on abortion occurred between 1890 and 1920 as specialists in obstetrics renewed the earlier campaign against abortion, and the medical profession was drawn into the state’s enforcement system. ** pp.14-15 * The structural transformation that occurred during the 1930s, the second period, was crucial for the history of abortion. Abortion became more available and changed location. As the practice moved from private offices and homes to hospitals and clinics, abortion was consolidated in medical hand and became more visible. The changes wrought by The Depression accelerated the pace of change in the coming decades, particularly in the methods of enforcing the criminal abortion laws. <br> The third period was marked by increasing restrictions on abortion by state and medical authorities and intensifying demand for abortion from women of all groups. This period begins in 1940, when the new methods of controlling abortion were first instituted, and continues through 1973, when they were dismantled. In reaction to the growing practice of abortion as well as apparent changes in female gender and reproductive patterns, a backlash against abortion developed. 1940 marks a dividing line as hospitals instituted new policies, and police and prosecutors changed their tactics. The repression of abortion was part of the repression of political and personal deviance that took place in the 1940s and 1950s. Yet even in this period, the practice of abortion expanded in new directions in response to relentless demand. The new repression of abortion, however, was devastating for women. A dual system of abortion, divided by race and class, developed. During the post-war period, the criminalization of abortion produced its harshest results. ** p.15 * A new stage in the history of abortion, the movement to legalize it, overlaps with the third period. The movement to decriminalize abortion began in the mid-1950s and arose out of the difficult experiences resulting from the repression of abortion in the 1940s and 1950s. In the 1950s, a handful of physicians began to challenge the very abortion laws their profession had advocated a century earlier. The progress of that challenge attests to the continuing power of the medical profession to make public policy regarding reproduction. As legal reform moved forward, a new feminist movement arose, which radically transformed the movement for legal change. When the women’s movement described abortion as an aspect of sexual freedom, they articulated a new feminist meaning for abortion; when they demanded abortion as a right they echoed generations of women. ** pp.15-16 * Despite the criminalization of abortion nationwide, abortion continued, and despite the efforts of Dr. Horatio Storer and his antiabortion allies, the thinking of ordinary Americans about early pregnancy had not been transformed. Abortion was widely tolerated. Many ordinary Americans at the turn of the century had not adopted the idea that there was a rigid dividing line between menstruation and conception, but continued to think of menstruation and early pregnancy as related. Abortion continued to be an important method of birth control, particularly for working-class, married women like Collins. Early twentieth-century women’s use of abortion was part of a long tradition among women to control and limit their childbearing. <br> In the past twenty-five years feminists have often used the metaphor of “silence to describe the subordination of women. Describing women as silent and silenced brought attention to the dominance of the masculine voice in politics, law, medicine, and the media and the near absence of women’s words and perspectives in these public political forums. The powerful metaphor’s provocative image of the silenced woman-unable to speak, ignored and unheard-reverberated with women’s experiences and encouraged women to be bold and to speak of their lives. In the late 1960s, an important tactic of the movement to legalize abortion was getting women to tell of their abortions at “speakouts” and thus discover their shared experiences and shared oppression. However, the metaphor of silence has limitations, for it has at times obscured women’s historical experiences by portraying women as more isolated, helpless, and victimized than they felt. ** Ch.1 “An Open Secret”, p.20 * The evidence shows that many American women and their friends and family accepted abortions. The widespread acceptance of abortion, expressed in word and deed during the era of its illegality, suggests the persistence of a popular ethic that differed from that of the law and the official views of medicine and religion. This popular acceptance of abortion took into account women’s sense of their own bodies, the particular situations in which women found themselves, and the material reality that made women and men need reproductive control. This finding suggests the need to refine our thinking about morality. Neither legal statutes nor the words of priests, ministers, or rabbis can be assumed to represent the moral thinking of the citizenry or congregations. Instead of assuming universal agreement on the immorality of abortion as expressed in the law and insisted upon by regular medical leaders, we might think of gradations in moral thinking or the existence of multiple moralities. The behavior and beliefs of ordinary people in daily life deserve serious attention. Abortion was part of life. ** pp.21-22 * Analysis of inquests into women’s deaths resulting from illegal abortions are crucial for my analysis of abortion from the late nineteenth century through the 1930s. Many of the details of early twentieth-century abortion practices and the most intimate stories of women and their relationships are drawn from these public records. These stories can be painful to read because the women died as a result of their illegal abortions, but their deaths allow us to learn about the lives of women, particularly immigrant and working women, who were most likely to appear in legal records. In studying these texts closely, this book honor the lives of these women who died trying to control their reproduction. Their deaths, however, were unusual. Most women survived their abortions and never had to tell anyone unless they chose to do so. ** p.22 * Mrs. Collins was one of hundreds of thousands of women who had abortions every year. Some late-nineteenth-century doctors believed there were two million abortions a year. In 1904, Dr C. S. Bacon estimated that “six to ten thousand abortions are induced in Chicago every year.” As one physician remarked in 1911, “Those who apply for abortions are from every walk of life, from the factory girl to the millionaire’s daughter; from the laborer’s wife to that of the banker, no class, no sect seems to be above . . . the destruction of the fetus.” As early twentieth-century reformers investigate abortion, produced and preserved knowledge of the business. Their reports, themselves evidence of the growing scrutiny of female sexual and reproductive behavior, show that a significant segment of the female population had abortions. A study of ten thousand working-class clients of Margaret Sanger’s birth control clinics in the late 1920s found that 20 percent of all pregnancies had been intentionally aborted. Surveys of educated, middle-class women in the 1920s showed that 10 to 23 percent had had abortions. Anedotal information, patient histories collected at maternity and birth control clinics, and mortality data show that women of every racial and religious group had abortions. A more comprehensive survey conducted by Regine K. Stix of almost one thousand women who went to the birth control clinic in the Bronx in 1931 and 1932 found that 35 percent of Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish clients alike had had at least one illegal abortion. By the 1930s, Dr. Frederick J. Taussig, a St. Louis obstetrician and nationally recognized authority on abortion, estimated that there were at least 681,000 abortions per year in the United States. <br> Most of the women who had abortions at the turn of the century were married. Tracking changes in the demographic characteristics of those who had illegal abortions is difficult, but evidence shows that abortion continued to be a practice of mostly married women until after World War II. Yet the image of the seduced and abandoned unmarried woman dominated turn-of-the-century newspapers and popular thinking. The image of the victimized single woman spoke to fears of the city and the changing roles of women in the same way that visions of married women aborting had expressed mid-nineteenth century anxieties. Newspapers, physicians, and prosecutors highlighted the abortion-related deaths of unwed women. ** p.23 * To the dismay of medical leaders, the public still believed that quickening marked the beginning of life. The practice of abortion persisted nationwide “Many otherwise good and exemplary women,” Dr. Joseph Taber Johnson reported in 195, thought “that prior to quickening it is no more harm to cause the evacuation of the contents of their wombs than it is that of their bladders or their bowels.” <br> Women’ critics found it provoking that women did not appear to be ashamed about their illegal abortions, but freely discussed them, advised each other in the methods for inducing abortions, and referred their friends to abortionists. One physician observed in 1891 that leading ladies of the community “not only . . . commit this crime, but talk about it very unconcernedly, or engage in disseminating a knowledge of the work among friends as earnestly as they would work for a supper for the benefit of a hospital, kindergarten, or the far-distant heathen.” The scene sketched by this doctor implicated well-to-do, respected women active in voluntary and charitable activities in the crime of abortion and criticized them for treating the subject lightly. It may be fruitful to read the doctor’s comparison literally: control over their own reproduction was as important to women as building a hospital or caring for the needy. Indeed, women’s involvement in charitable and reform activities made the ability to control childbearing necessary, and that control made voluntary activities possible. ** pp.25-26 * Women shared with one another very specific knowledge about how to induce abortions. Female sharing of abortion techniques was both part of the routine exchange of knowledge about how to treat illnesses of all kinds and a continuation of earlier tradition when women traded recipes for abortifacients. “The older ladies of the community are prolific in advice,” one Chicago physician remarked in 1900. “Hot drinks, hot douches, and hot baths are recommended. Violent exercise is suggested and humping off a chair or rolling down stairs is a favorite procedure. Certain teas are given . . . and the different emmenagogue pills are too easily procurable.”<br> “Older ladies” shared the traditional techniques known to them; younger women shared more modern and scientific information. The information women gave each other changed over time along with changes in medicine When a turn-of-the-century physician warned a young married woman of septic infection, the woman answered, “’My friend told me to boil my catheter before using it.’” Medical precautions against sepsis, this report suggests, had entered popular knowledge. Armed with medical wisdom and personal experience, these patients dismissed warnings and vexed their doctors. Barbara Brookes has found that early-twentieth-century English women “helped” each other induce abortions. American women did the same. In 1920 a nurse reported the story of a married, working-class woman, “Annie .,” who had induced three abortions already and, if pregnant, planned to do so again. When warned of the dangers of abortion, “Annie laughed and said: ‘Oh! It’s easy.’ And . . . added: ‘I have told lots of women how to do it.’” ** pp.26-27 * Parents, especially mothers, often played a crucial role in the effort to obtain an abortion when their daughter was unwed. Reflecting the sympathies and training of gender, daughters generally turned to mothers for help when faced with a pregnancy out of wedlock. In the late nineteenth century, Joan Jacob Brumberg has argued, illegitimacy became a “traumatic event” for middle-class families, which threatened the reputations of both the unmarried women themselves and their families. Many parents had a strong interest in protecting their daughters and themselves from the shame associated with single motherhood. In late-nineteenth-century New York, one woman approached a female doctor about an abortion for her daughter, whose fiancé had fled “Death before dishonor” the mother reportedly declared “my daughter is not going to be disgraced all her days, and the man to go scot-free.” The mother’s words succinctly summarized the sexual double standard: she knew that bearing an illegitimate child would stigmatize her daughter for life while the boyfriend could experience sexual pleasures without hurting his honor. If fathers were apt to overreact to their obvious inability to control the sexuality of their daughters, daughters and their mothers might collude to keep the man of the house ignorant. ** p.28 * To avoid the social disaster of single motherhood, turn-of-the century physicians and women’s charity groups urged unwed women to bear their children in maternity homes. Some homes arranged for adoption of illegitimate infants; others insisted that the new mothers keep them. ‘’The Journal of the American Medical Association’’ viewed these homes as a way “to combat the crime of induced abortion.” Yet many homes refused African American women. One African American physician established a hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, in order to provide a place where unmarried African American women could deliver their babies and give them up for adoption instead of having abortions. The policies of unwed mother’s homes could be oppressive. Maternity homes expected mothers to repent and required them to stay long periods of time, perform domestic tasks and participate in religious services. State agencies and private charities required the women, whether keeping or giving up their newborns, to breast-feed for several months. Some women surely concluded that an abortion, though illegal, could be a simpler solution to a pregnancy out of wedlock. Regina Kunzel has found that many women in maternity homes had tried but failed to abort their pregnancies. One maternity home inmate gave her new friends at the home valuable information for the future; she described how to do their own abortions. ** pp.28-29 * The economic difficulty of rearing children as a single woman helped push the pregnant and unmarried to have abortions. Working women earned waged half those of men and inadequate for a woman by herself, let alone with dependent children. A 1908 study of Chicago’s store and factory workers found that more than half of the women living alone earned less than a subsistence wage. Although real wages increased in the 1920s, the average female worker in manufacturing still earned below subsistence. African American women, who were segregate into domestic service jobs, were paid less than white coworkers. Furthermore, single working mothers risked losing their children as a result of being charged with child neglect by reformers and officials. ** p.29 === “Abortion and the Ways We Value Human Life” (1998) === <small> Jeffrey H. Reiman, [https://books.google.com/books?id=gcRwR2skwr4C “Abortion and the Ways We Value Human Life”], (Rowman & Littlefield 1998) </small> * Ironically, as Mohr points out, most feminist leaders shared the physicians’ opposition to abortion, though they did not share the physicians’ explanation of its prevalence. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, for example, viewed the increase in the incidence of abortion as a result of “the degradation of women in the nineteenth century. Feminists generally thought that women had abortions because they lacked the ability to control their sex lives in the face of pressure from tyrannical husbands or because husbands, who wanted sex but didn’t want the financial burdens of additional mouths to feed, directly pressured them to have abortions. ** p.30 * In view of how many abortionists were female midwives, it is plausible that male physicians opposed abortion out of a wish to put control of women’s reproduction in men’s hands. In any event, regular doctors had a financial interest in eliminating competition from these and other irregulars; licensing laws regulating who could practice medicine would not appear until the final decades of the nineteenth century. “The specific cases of abortion cited in the medical journal almost invariably stressed that the performer was a ‘quack,’ a ‘doctress,’ an ‘irregular,’ or the like, and regular physicians remained openly jealous of the handsome fees abortionists collected for their services.” ** pp.30-31 * Until 1967, when the first stirrings of legal liberalization began, abortion was a felony in forty-nine states and the District of Columbia (in New Jersey it was a “high misdemeanor”). In forty-two of these states, an exception allowed abortion if necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman. New Mexico and Colorado permitted it if necessary to save her from “serious and permanent bodily injury”; Alabama and the District of Columbia, to protect her life or health; and Maryland, for her “safety.” Louisiana and Pennsylvania allowed no exceptions at all. The result of these laws was not so much to eliminate abortion as to drive it underground. In 1936, an estimated 500,000 abortions-one for every five live births-were performed in America; in 1960, an estimated 1.2 million-one for every three live births Of these 1.2 million, only a tiny fraction, about 8,000, were legally permitted therapeutic abortions. Though the secrecy attending illegal abortions makes it appropriate to treat estimates of their number with skepticism, it does seem that a very large number of illegal abortions occurred during tis period. ** p.31 * Movements toward liberalization began slowly. A small number of radicals pressed for legalization of abortion during the 1930s but the association of this goal with the Left (the Soviet Union had made abortion legal in 1920) largely doomed the movement and led American birth control advocate to dissociate themselves from the call for legalization. Major family planning organization focused on making contraceptive devices and information readily available, first to married women and later to single women. Their leaders often expressly condemned abortion and promoted contraception as a way of reducing its incidence. Advocates of liberalization directed their efforts primarily at expanding the allowable legal exceptions rather than repealing the laws against abortion. And doctors increasingly interpreted the existing exceptions liberally. <br> According to Reagan, in response to growing female independence, a new wave of repression of abortion started in the 1940s and coincided with the “domestic revival” of the 1950s. Abortion was likewise a target of McCarthyism during that period. With greater legal repression, abortions became harder to obtain and more dangerous. Maternal mortality resulting from abortions increased dramatically, especially for black and poor women. “Public-health statistics revealed an appalling picture of death and discrimination. . . . The illegality of abortion had produced a public-health disaster-especially for low-income and minority women. . . . Public health activists interested in reducing maternal mortality now had to turn their attention to one of the most important causes: illegal abortion.” Interestingly, Luker maintain that maternal deaths from illegal abortions decline throughout the twentieth century but agrees that they occurred disproportionately among the poor and that the helped to mobilize some of the first groups to enter the abortion reform movement. <br> In 1952, symposium of psychiatrists recommended a legal exception to permit abortions needed to preserve the pregnant woman’s ** p.32 === “Science, Technology, and Society: An Encyclopedia” (2005) === <small> Restivo, Sal P., ed. (2005). [https://books.google.com/books?id=A8C3m8rRba4C&pg=PR3&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false “Science, Technology, and Society: An Encyclopedia”]. Oxford University Press. </small> * Legal abortion preserves women’s lives from unsafe pregnancies and nonmedical abortions. For feminists, the “right to choose” abortion also symbolized women’s liberation from patriarchal control. Although “pro-choice” rhetoric is consistent with American values of self-determination, “choice” may be a misguided symbol for reproductive rights; many women experience abortion not as desirable but as an unfortunate necessity following failed contraception, forced intercourse, or “positive” diagnosis of fetal abnormality. Further, women’s ability to “choose” an abortion in the United States remains subject to some federal and state-level legislative restrictions. The 1976 Hyde Amendment restricts Medicaid-funded elective abortions, and in 2000, 87 percent of U.S. counties lacked abortion providers. Reproductive rights groups have run into conflict with disability rights activists over the possible eugenic use of elective abortion following prenatal screening, such as for Down syndrome, to limit the range of acceptable human life. ** p.1 * ”Roe” ultimately gives physicians, not pregnant women, the ability to determine whether and when abortion is warranted. In the nineteenth century, women of all social classes could legally procure abortion, often using herbal abortifacients. As “regular” physicians distinguished themselves from midwives and homeopaths, many lobbied state legislatures to criminalize induced abortion. Shortly after its formation in 1847, the American Medical Association (AMA) declared human life to begin at conception and not, as women apparently believed, at “quickening,” midway through gestation, when a woman first feels fetal movement in the womb. In taking an anti-abortion stance, physicians not only professionalized but moralized their practice through association with saving lives. By end of century, abortion was criminalized throughout the United States and recognized to be a medical issue. It is an historic irony that abortion was medicalized to restrict its practice, only to be legalized a century later precisely based on its status as medical procedure, a private matter between patient and doctor. ** p.1 * Since “Roe”, “pro-life” activists redefined the question of “life” in the abortion controversy as fetal, rather than maternal, right to life. Legalization galvanized opposition from pro-life activists, for whom abortion eroded traditional gender roles and women’s moral standing as childbearers. Right-to-life activists return to early AMA formulations of distinct life beginning at conception. Appropriating prenatal medical imaging technologies, they produce propagandistic displays. Photographic and ultrasound images of free-floating fetuses are used to portray fetal life as not only viable but autonomous, suggestive of personhood and rights. Pro-life campaigns project images of intact, well-developed fetuses despite the fact that 90 percent of abortion sin the United States occur during the first trimester. Radical pro-lifers view abortion as a holocaust and a symbol of America’s moral degeneracy. Activists commit property crimes including arson at abortion facilities, and during the late 1980s and 1990s several abortion providers were murdered by extremists who championed a Christian nation at millennium’s end where God’s law would prevail over human law. ** pp.1-2 === "Poll: Strong Support For Abortion Rights" (January 22, 2003) === <small> Joel Roberts, [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-strong-support-for-abortion-rights/ "Poll: Strong Support For Abortion Rights"], CBS News, (January 22, 2003) </small> * Seventy-seven percent of respondents said abortion should either be generally available, or available but with stricter limits than now. Just 22 percent said abortion should not be permitted. <br> Public sentiment on the issue is about the same as it was ten years ago. The latest findings show the number of Americans who believe that abortion should be generally available is up slightly from two years ago, and about the same as it was in the spring of 2000. <br> Those who believe abortion should remain available are evenly divided between those who think it should be generally available to those who want it, and those who think it should have more restrictions than it currently does. <br> And looking ahead to the next two years, the great majority of Americans expects that abortion will remain legal in some form, though many - particularly women -- believe it will soon come under stricter limits. 47% of women think so, 39% of men do. * There are partisan differences on abortion, though majorities of both parties are in general agreement that it should be available in at least some form. 43% of Democrats think that abortion should be generally available, and 35% think it should be under stricter limits. Republicans are less inclined to think it should be generally available - 29% think so - while 41% of them think it should be available but under more limits than it is today. 28% of Republicans say it should not be permitted at all, and 21% of Democrats agree. Independents break down much like the Democrats: 42% of them say abortion should be generally available. * There are no major differences between mens' and womens' stands on the issue. 40% of men believe abortion should be generally available, and 37% of women think it should be. 20% of men think it should not be permitted, and slightly more women, 24%, agree. * Younger women hold nearly identical views on abortion as do older women. Among women under 45, 38% say abortion should be generally available and one-quarter say it should never be permitted. Among women 45 and older, 36% say it should be generally available and 23% say abortion should never be permitted. * Catholics and Protestants in the survey held roughly the same views on the issue. 36% of Catholics believe abortion should be generally available, and 34% of Protestants agree. 27% of Catholics think abortion should not be permitted, and 24% of Protestants believe this, as well. * There are, however, strong regional differences in the United States on the abortion question. Southerners and mid-westerners are more likely to believe abortion should not be permitted, while those in the West and Northeast are more likely to think it should be generally available. === "Elective Abortion" (May 27, 2010) === <small> Natalie E Roche (May 27, 2010). "Elective Abortion". eMedicine. [https://web.archive.org/web/20041214092044/http:/www.emedicine.com/MED/topic3311.htm Archived] </small> * Therapeutic abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy before fetal viability in order to preserve maternal health. In its broadest definition, therapeutic abortion can be performed to (1) save the life of the mother, (2) preserve the health of the mother, (3) terminate a pregnancy that would result in the birth of a child with defects incompatible with life or associated with significant morbidity, (4) terminate a nonviable pregnancy, or (5) selectively reduce a multifetal pregnancy. <br> The vast majority of abortions performed in the United States are elective. Pregnancy-related conditions that threaten maternal life are rare and difficult to define precisely. The decision to terminate a pregnancy for medical indications is generally a multidisciplinary decision involving the obstetrician, a specialist in the disease entity in question, the patient, the patient's family, and others. * History of the Procedure: Termination of pregnancy has been practiced since ancient times and by all cultures. The indications and social context for termination of pregnancy vary with culture and time. <br> The use of abortion to preserve the life of the mother has been widely accepted. Early Jewish scholars' interpretation of the Talmud required that the fetus be destroyed if it posed a threat to the mother during delivery. The ancient Greeks allowed abortion under certain circumstances. Ancient Romans did not consider a fetus a person until after birth, and abortion was practiced widely. Early Christians had varying practices regarding abortion. By 1869, the Catholic church declared abortion a sin punishable by excommunication. <br> In the United States, legislation regarding abortion has varied with the times. Before 1800, no statutes addressed the subject of abortion. The first antiabortion legislation appeared in the 1820s; the preservation of pregnant women's health was the motivating force. During this time, the mortality rate from abortion was high, while the mortality rate from childbirth was less than 3%. By 1900, abortion in the United States at any time during pregnancy was a crime, with the exception of therapeutic abortion performed to save the mother's life. <br> During the 1950s, the practice of medicine came under increasing scrutiny, and guidelines were set to define the indications for therapeutic abortion. The guidelines allowed therapeutic abortion if (1) pregnancy would "gravely impair the physical and mental health of the mother," (2) the child born was likely to have "grave physical and mental defects," or (3) the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest (Mcfarlane, 1993). In the United States, the legalization of abortion by Roe v Wade in 1973 upheld the fundamental right of a woman to determine whether to continue her pregnancy. * Problem: US statistics indicate that the vast majority of abortions are elective. Therapeutic abortion is rare. The ability to define therapeutic abortion performed for maternal indications is difficult because of the subjective nature of decisions made about potential morbidity and mortality in pregnant women. A variety of medical conditions in pregnant women have the potential to affect health and cause complications that may be life threatening. <br> Prenatal screening in the form of prenatal diagnostic screening continues to improve the antepartum diagnosis of fetal anomalies. The decision to continue or terminate a pregnancy complicated by fetal anomalies is a difficult decision. The most difficult decisions are associated with anomalies that are unpredictable or highly variable in their expression. <br> The increase in the use of assisted reproductive technologies has been associated with an enormous increase in multifetal pregnancies. These pregnancies are complicated by increased fetal morbidity and mortality rates, which are largely caused by prematurity and growth retardation. Selective reduction has been introduced as a technology to improve perinatal outcomes in these pregnancies and has been successful in reducing preterm deliveries and associated morbidity and mortality. === “Management of unintended and abnormal pregnancy: comprehensive abortion care” (April 27, 2009) === <small> Allan Rosenfield, “Introduction” in Paul M, Lichtenberg ES Borgatta L Grimes DA Stubblefield P Creinin (eds) [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Management_of_Unintended_and_Abnormal_Pr/iK7xrRr2p9sC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Management of unintended and abnormal pregnancy: comprehensive abortion care”]. (April 27, 2009) Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell. </small> * No topic engenders more heated controversy in the USA and elsewhere in the world than induced abortion, and this conflict is not likely to be resolved in the forseeable future. Those who feel that life begins at fertilization or implantation, and that abortion at any stage of development is the equivalent of murder, will not compromise their strong views. Similarly, those who defend a woman’s right to control her body and to decide whether to continue or terminate a pregnancy will not moderate their strong views. Other than supporting better programs to prevent unwanted pregnancies (and even here, a subset of those opposed to abortion also objects to all modern forms of contraception),no real common ground exists between these opposing points of view, despite many attempts to search for some means of communication between the two. <br> Notwithstanding prevailing religious, moral, or cultural attitudes toward abortion, women who do not wish to be pregnant for whatever reason will attempt to terminate the pregnancy, regardless of the risks involved. Worldwide, approximately 42 million abortions occur annually, and 20 million or more are performed under unsafe, usually illegal, circumstances. Furthermore, the World health Organization estimates that between 65,000 and 70,000 women die each year from unsafe abortion and 5 million more suffer from complications of hazardous or botched abortions, most taking place in the developing world and primarily in those countries in which abortion is illegal. <br> In the USA in the late 1980s, data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) showed that nearly 60% of all pregnancies were unintended at the time of fertilization. Thus, over 3 million pregnancies per year were unintended and 45% of these pregnancies, or 1.4 million, ended in abortion. Approximately half of all unintended pregnancies in the USA still end in abortion, resulting in approximately 1.2 million induced abortions each year. Moreover, the most recent NSFG data from 2002 demonstrated a notable increase in the proportion of births to women who wanted no more children (approximately 14% as compared to 9% in the 1995 data). According to Finer and Henshaw, “between 1994 and 2001, the rate of unintended pregnancy declined among adolescents, college graduates, and the wealthiest women, but increased among poor and less educated women. Thus, women with the least resources bear a disproportionate burden of unintended pregnancy and its consequences. Although many assume that teenagers have the majority of abortions in the USA, they actually account for less than one-fifth of all abortions, the remainder taking place among women over age 20. <br> In close to half of those women experiencing an unintended pregnancy, the woman or her partner regularly used a contraceptive method, but for a variety of reasons, it was not used on that occasion or it failed. Similarly, approximately 54% of US women who had an abortion in 2000-2001 had been using a contraceptive method during the month they conceived. Despite the relatively large number of highly effective reversible contraceptive methods on the market, none meets the needs of all couples. The most effective ones (intrauterine devices, injectables, and implants, which have failure rates essentially equal to a sterilization procedure) all have drawbacks or are associated with misperceptions that limit their use. Oral contraceptives, the most widely used reversible method of contraception, carry failure rates of 6 to 8% in actual practice. The advent of emergency contraception is an important advance, providing an option for those women who have unexpected mid-cycle intercourse. ** pp.34-35 * Due to myriad factors, including the shortage of abortion providers and state and federal restrictions on abortion, many areas of the USA lack abortion services. As a result, many women travel considerable distances in order to obtain abortions. In some states, services are severely limited, and a few dedicated clinicians travel by plane to different clinic settings on a regular, repeating schedule. This situation is extraordinary in a country in which abortion is legal and in which over 40,000 obstetrician-gynecologists practice. ** p.35 === "Americans Narrowing Support for Abortion" (June 18, 2000) === <small> Rubin, Allisa J. (June 18, 2000). [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-jun-18-mn-42249-story.html "Americans Narrowing Support for Abortion"], ''Los Angeles Times''. </small> * “Americans, in terms of their own code of morality, may view abortion as murder and may be comfortable with it being illegal, but most Americans don’t want to impose that on other people,” said Susan Carroll, a senior research associate who studies abortion at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “It’s kind of a live-and-let-live approach. . . . Most Americans are in favor of letting people make their own individual choices.” * More than half of those surveyed say abortion should either be illegal in all circumstances or legal only in cases of rape, incest or when a woman’s life is in danger. At the same time, more than two-thirds say that, regardless of their own feelings on the subject, the highly personal decision to obtain an abortion should be left to a woman and her doctor. <br> Even more striking, while 57% of respondents say they consider abortion to be murder, more than half of that group agree that a woman should have the right to choose an abortion. <br> These conflicting perspectives make abortion a particularly tricky issue for politicians. President Clinton attempted to straddle the ambivalence in his first presidential campaign by saying he wanted abortions to be “safe, legal and rare.” So far, neither Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush nor Democratic rival Al Gore have found a similarly deft formulation. <br> The issue could help--or hurt--both men. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they have no clear sense of either candidate’s position on the issue at this point in the presidential race. But 34% of poll respondents say that if they learn that a candidate’s position on abortion disagrees with their own, it would be enough to change their vote. * Bush’s opposition to abortion appeared more likely to help his candidacy than Gore’s support of abortion rights will help his. When told that Bush opposes abortion, 27% of respondents say that makes them more likely to vote for him. But only 18% of respondents say Gore’s support for legal abortion would make them more likely to vote for him. <br> Still, there may be risks in emphasizing a stand against abortion, some experts say. If a candidate strongly opposes legal abortion, that could mobilize opposition among sizable groups of voters, such as suburban women and college students. <br> “The country leans [toward] limited pro-choice,” said Bob Blendon, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health who tracks views on health care issues. * Nearly two-thirds of respondents say abortions should be illegal after the first three months of pregnancy. While 85% support abortion when a woman’s physical health is at risk, the level of support drops to 54% when only her emotional health is at stake. And 66% say they support abortion when the fetus is at risk of an abnormality. <br> The poll shows growing support for RU-486, the “abortion pill” that was developed in France and can be used during the first eight weeks of pregnancy. Americans are almost evenly divided between those who favor making it widely available (43%) and those who oppose doing so (46%). When the question was first asked 11 years ago, 32% approved of making the drug available. * Typically when abortion rights are threatened, support for legal abortion rises, according to polling experts. <br> In the last decade, for example, previous polls show support for Roe peaking at 56% around 1991, when the decision was under attack across the country. Most states had pushed measures through their legislatures that either put strict limits on abortion or even banned it altogether. * The Supreme Court is poised to rule on the constitutionality of Nebraska’s ban on “partial-birth” abortions by the end of the month. Nearly identical bans are in place in nearly 30 states. The ruling will be the court’s first major decision on abortion in eight years and could significantly reduce women’s access to abortion after the first trimester. <br> In The Times Poll, 65% of respondents said abortions in the second trimester should not be legal. Female respondents feel more strongly about the issue: 72% believe second-trimester abortions should be illegal, compared with 58% of men. <br> The poll shows that while more than four out of five respondents support abortion when a woman’s physical health is at risk, just slightly more than half feel the same when it is a matter of a woman’s emotional health. Support for abortions to protect a woman’s mental health is strongest among single women, 64% of whom believe it should be allowed. === "Education Trumps Gender in Predicting Support for Abortion - College-educated adults -- and especially college-educated women -- most supportive" (April 28, 2010) === <small> Saad, Lydia (April 28, 2010).

Retrieved January 5, 2020. </small> * Over the past three decades, men and women have consistently held similar views about the extent to which abortion should be legal. Typically, majorities of both sexes have said abortion should be "legal only under certain circumstances." Smaller percentages have believed it should be either legal under any circumstances or illegal in all circumstances -- with those in favor of legality consistently the larger group. Support for legal abortion "under any circumstances" reached its peak among both sexes in the early 1990s but has since receded some. <br> Women have in recent years been more likely than men to hold the two absolute positions on abortion -- saying it should be either legal under any circumstances or illegal in all circumstances -- but these differences are not large. * Education is a strong correlate of support for abortion rights among both genders, with college graduates the most likely to say abortion should be legal in any circumstances. However, in line with the broader societal trend, support among college graduates has fallen markedly since the early 1990s. These educational differences and trends are evident among both men and women. <br> Aside from the broader pattern, however, support for legal abortion in all circumstances among female college graduates has been about 10 percentage points greater than that among male college graduates. The gender gaps in views of adults who have lower education levels tend to be much smaller. <br> Gallup's earlier reports detailing long-term demographic trends found that attitudes have somewhat converged over time among different age groups (with the exception of seniors, who remain the least supportive of legal abortion) but have grown more polarized by party (with Democrats becoming more accepting of legal abortion and Republicans less accepting). These age and partisan patterns are seen about equally among men and women. * Gallup's abortion polling since the mid-1970s finds few remarkable distinctions between men's and women's views on the legality of abortion. <br> Overall, women are a bit more likely than men to hold one of the more absolute views on abortion: that it should be either legal under any circumstances or illegal in all circumstances. However, majorities of both genders take the middle "legal only under certain circumstances" position. <br> Within various age and partisan categories, men and women are mostly similar in their views. Only with respect to education, specifically those with a college education, is there a sizable gender gap. College-educated women are significantly more likely than college-educated men to believe abortion should be legal under any circumstances. === "Pro-choice" and "pro-life" Americans agree on 9 of 17 policies tested” (August 8, 2011) === <small> Saad, Lydia (August 8, 2011). https://news.gallup.com/poll/148880/Plenty-Common-Ground-Found-Abortion-Debate.aspx "Pro-choice" and "pro-life" Americans agree on 9 of 17 policies tested” "Plenty of Common Ground Found in Abortion Debate]". Gallup.com. </small> * PRINCETON, NJ -- Self-described "pro-choice" and "pro-life" Americans agree about nine major areas of abortion policy, while disagreeing on eight others. Among the areas of consensus, in which a majority of both groups hold the same opinion, especially large percentages are in favor of requiring informed consent for women (86% of pro-choice adults and 87% who are pro-life) and making abortion illegal in the third trimester (79% and 94%).<br> Pro-life and pro-choice Americans also broadly agree that abortion should be legal when a woman's life or physical health is endangered by pregnancy and when pregnancy is caused by rape or incest. Both groups favor banning "partial-birth abortions," and requiring parental consent for minors. Additionally, a slim majority of pro-choice Americans (52%) agree with 90% of pro-life Americans that abortion should be illegal in the second trimester. * The most contentious area of abortion policy has to do with abortions conducted for financial reasons. Nearly two-thirds of pro-choice adults, 64%, compared with only 9% of pro-life Americans, say abortion should be legal when the woman or family cannot afford to raise the child. <br> This 55-percentage-point gap in views is nearly matched by the divergence in support for first-trimester abortions, and for abortions done when the baby may be mentally or physically impaired, or when the mother's mental health is at stake. All of these positions are favored by most pro-choice Americans, compared with fewer than 40% of pro-life adults. * [M]ost pro-life adults support three abortion-related regulations that are backed by no more than 30% of pro-choice adults. These are requiring women to be shown an ultrasound of her fetus before having an abortion, banning federal funds for clinics that provide abortions, and allowing pharmacists and healthcare providers to opt out of dispensing medicine or participating in procedures that result in abortion. * It should be noted that support for abortion by trimester is also complex and can depend on the rationale -- as past Gallup research has found. However, broadly speaking, Americans are more supportive of legalizing abortion in the earliest stages of pregnancy than in the later stages, when the fetus is more fully developed or could survive outside the womb. * Abortion politics have been quite contentious in the United States; however, self-described "pro-life" and "pro-choice" Americans broadly agree on more than half of 16 major abortion policy matters Gallup tested in June and July. These policies generally have to do with protections for women's vital health, preventing late-term abortions, and ensuring that abortion patients and parents are fully informed before an abortion. <br> While such positions may not square with those taken by the leading pro-choice and pro-life lobbying groups in Washington, enacting them would greatly narrow the scope of the debate among Americans as a whole. That would leave first-trimester abortions, abortions performed when physical or mental impairments of the fetus are indicated, when the mother's mental health is endangered, and abortions performed for financial reasons as the main areas of contention over abortion. In addition, laws that require pregnant women to be shown ultrasounds, policies that allow healthcare professionals to opt out of participating in abortions, and banning federal funds to abortion providers would continue to generate controversy. === "Americans Misjudge U.S. Abortion Views" (May 15, 2013) === <small> Lydia Saad, [https://news.gallup.com/poll/162548/americans-misjudge-abortion-views.aspx "Americans Misjudge U.S. Abortion Views"], ''Gallup.com'', (May 15, 2013). </small> * PRINCETON, NJ -- When asked how they think most Americans feel about the abortion issue, 51% of U.S. adults say the public is mostly "pro-choice," while 35% say "pro-life." This general perception that the pro-choice viewpoint prevails contrasts with the nearly even division of Americans' actual views. The same poll finds that 48% of Americans call themselves pro-life and 45% pro-choice. <br> Political moderates are the most likely among major demographic and political subgroups to believe the pro-choice position dominates nationally. They are closely followed by "pro-choice" Americans, Westerners, Democrats, and nonwhites. Republicans, conservatives, and "pro-life" Americans are the only groups that are about evenly split in their perceptions of which abortion viewpoint is the more prevalent. No group mostly sees pro-lifers as dominant. * As Gallup reported last week, Americans have, for the most part, been closely divided since 2009 in their personal identification as either pro-life or pro-choice. However, the balance of these views varies sharply among demographic and political groups. <br> Americans who profess no religious identity are the most heavily pro-choice, at 80%, with 15% calling themselves pro-life. This group is followed by liberals and Democrats, among whom pro-choicers outnumber pro-lifers by at least 2-1. * Gallup finds less than 10-percentage-point differences separating the pro-choice and pro-life camps in all other major subgroups, including political independents, moderates, men, women, young adults, middle-aged adults, and residents of the East, Midwest, and West. * For several years now, neither the pro-choice nor the pro-life label has been dominant among Americans. Nevertheless, 51% of Americans perceive that most Americans are pro-choice -- slightly more than the 45% personally taking the pro-choice stance. Barely a third of Americans, 35%, think most Americans are pro-life, considerably less than the 48% who are pro-life. * While Americans overestimate the strength of the "pro-choice" position, the same poll found them vastly underestimating the degree to which their fellow Americans support gay marriage. In other words, on abortion they think society is more liberal than it is; on gay rights, they think society is more conservative than it is. This seeming contradiction might be explained in terms of timing, as on both issues, Americans' perceptions of public opinion are merely a few years out of date. As recently as 2006, and routinely prior to 1998, the majority of Americans called themselves "pro-choice." And until 2011, the majority opposed gay marriage. <br> While it is unclear what impact Americans' current perceptual errors might have on their behavior or on public policy relative to abortion and gay rights, it is possible their perceptions will catch up with reality if current attitudes are sustained for any length of time. === "Trimesters Still Key to U.S. Abortion Views" (June 13, 2018) === <small> Lydia Saad, [https://news.gallup.com/poll/235469/trimesters-key-abortion-views.aspx "Trimesters Still Key to U.S. Abortion Views"]. June 13, 2018. </small> * WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' support for the legality of abortion varies sharply when they are asked to evaluate it on a trimester basis, which is consistent with the pattern Gallup has found for more than 20 years. Six in 10 U.S. adults think abortion should generally be legal in the first three months of pregnancy. However, support drops by about half, to 28%, for abortions conducted in the second three months, and by half again, to 13%, in the final three months. * As Gallup reported earlier this week, the vast majority of Americans want abortion to be legally available in all or certain circumstances, even while, in answer to a separate question, they are evenly divided at 48% each in identifying their overall position as "pro-choice" or "pro-life." <br> But Americans' views on the issue are even more complicated than that. Support for elective abortion depends on the specific reason a woman seeks the procedure. And that, in turn, varies by whether it occurs early or late in the pregnancy. * The most widely accepted reason for performing abortions, with little difference in support depending on the timing, is when the woman's life is endangered: 83% think this should be legal in the first trimester and 75% in the third. Majorities also think abortion should be legal in both trimesters if done because the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest, although support falls from 77% in the first trimester to barely half (52%) in the third. <br> Abortions done because the child would be born with medical problems -- either a life-threatening illness or a mental disability -- receive majority support when done in the first trimester, but less than majority support when occurring in the third. <br> Americans are divided about terminating a pregnancy in the first trimester when Down syndrome is detected, with 49% in favor; but support drops to 29% for abortions done for this reason in the third trimester. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identify Down syndrome as "the most common chromosomal disorder," affecting about one in every 700 babies born in the U.S. <br> Less than half of Americans support abortions conducted in the first or the third trimester when the woman doesn't want the child "for any reason," although there is a sizable falloff in support for this from the first trimester (45%) to the third (20%). * Women and men have similar abortion views in most of the circumstances, but men are more supportive when it comes to aborting in the first trimester when the child would be born mentally disabled (62% of men vs. 51% of women say this should be legal in the first trimester), or when the child would be born with Down syndrome (56% vs. 44%). * Most Americans generally see some reason for abortion to be legal, but far more think it should be legal in the first trimester than in the second or third. This conforms with the actual rate of abortions in the U.S. by trimester. According to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks abortion statistics, late-trimester abortions are rare -- only 1.3% are conducted later than 20 weeks, whereas 89% are performed within the first 12 weeks. === "Majority in U.S. Still Want Abortion Legal, With Limits" (June 25, 2019) === <small> Saad, Lydia, [https://news.gallup.com/poll/259061/majority-abortion-legal-limits.aspx "Majority in U.S. Still Want Abortion Legal, With Limits"].

These results from a May 1-12 Gallup poll, align with what Gallup has found most years since 1975, the year it began tracking these attitudes. * Consistent with all prior Gallup trends on the subject, most Americans say that abortion is not critical to their vote, but the percentage saying they would only vote for a candidate for major office who shares their views on abortion has been inching up over the past decade. The figure is now 29%, compared with 20% when Gallup last asked this in 2016, and a low of 13% in 2008. <br> Meanwhile, the percentages saying a candidate's position on abortion is just one of many important issues they take into account when voting, or that abortion is not important to their vote, have been trending down -- currently at 44% and 26%, respectively. <br> Not only is the overall percentage of Americans saying that abortion is key to their vote at a record high, but the percentage is at its peak among self-identified "pro-choice" and "pro-life" Americans. <br> Currently, 26% of pro-choice adults say they will only vote for a candidate who shares their views on abortion, up from 17% in 2016. <br> However, the matter continues to be more important as a voting issue to pro-life than pro-choice adults, as it has in every Gallup measure since 2004. Thirty-five percent of pro-life adults now say they will only vote for like-minded candidates on the issue, an increase from 23% in 2016. * The division between Americans identifying as pro-life and pro-choice has been particularly close in recent years. Since 2007, the percentages identifying as pro-choice and pro-life have each averaged 47% and the figures have varied by no more than five points in either direction. * Little has changed over the past year, or even over the past 10 years, in Americans' basic outlook on abortion. Americans' hold a nuanced view about the issue, with most believing abortion should be legal, but with some restrictions. === “Abortion Rate Falls, But Not Equally for All Women” (September 23, 2008) === <small> Tiffany Sharples, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080925201556/http:/www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1843717,00.html “Abortion Rate Falls, But Not Equally for All Women”], ''Time Magazine'', September 23, 2008 </small> * A new report analyzing 30-year trends in abortion rates finds that fewer and fewer U.S. women are choosing abortion overall, but that the rate of decline differed significantly between populations. Abortion decreased more among white women and white teenagers, for example, compared with women of [[Latina]] or [[African-American]] descent. <br> The study, released Tuesday by the non-profit Guttmacher Institute, which specializes in research on reproductive and sexual health, examined abortion rates in the U.S. from 1974 — the year after Roe v. Wade deemed abortion a "fundamental right" — through 2004. The total number of abortions has dropped over the last two decades, from nearly 1.6 million in 1984 to 1.2 million in 2004. The abortion rate hit its peak in 1980 at 29 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44; in 2004, that number had dropped to 20 per 1,000 women. * Statistically one in three U.S. women will have an abortion in her lifetime, the study found, but that risk does not apply to all women equally. Women who choose abortion are more likely to be in their 20s or 30s than in their teens or 40s; they're more likely to have children already; and they're also more likely to be black or Hispanic than white. The abortion rates in 2004 were 50 abortions per 1,000 black women and 28 abortions per 1,000 Hispanic women, compared with 11 out of every 1,000 white women. <br> "This is the first time that somebody's really sat down and said, in this 30-year time period, what have been some of the changes in characteristics of women obtaining abortions?" says Rachel Jones, a senior research associate at the Guttmacher Institute and the project manager for the new study. * In 2004, 60% of women who had abortions had already given birth to at least one child, an increase from 50% in 1989, while 47% of women who had an abortion had already undergone the procedure at least once before (the study's authors point out, however, that the trend in multiple abortions may already be declining). Between 1974 and 2004, the percentage of abortions performed among women in their 20s increased from 50% to 57%; the percentage among women in their 30s increased from 15% to 24%. Meanwhile, the proportion of abortions sought by patients under 20 fell from 33% in 1974 to 17% three decades later. <br> "The shift in age, more women who already have children — this really does paint a different picture of women having abortions than the way it's portrayed in popular culture," Jones says, in reference to the popular notion that unintended pregnancy happens to careless teens and college kids. * The trend also points to a gap in outreach and education, says Jones: "We've devoted a lot of effort to preventing teen pregnancy and we haven't done very much for older women. So, what you see is that teenagers are doing a better job, over the 30-year time period, of avoiding unintended pregnancies and avoiding abortions." <br> Economics may also have something to do with it. Single motherhood has become increasingly common over the past 30 years, which may have affected the number of women who already have children who opt for abortions. "A single mom, if she's already got kids and she finds herself pregnant, just has fewer resources to raise another child," Jones says. * Health officials are struggling to educate women who have had an abortion about avoiding additional unwanted pregnancies. "People in the family planning and abortion community are trying to deal with this head on," Jones says. "We have an obligation to women who are experiencing multiple unintended pregnancies to do what we can to help them avoid subsequent unintended pregnancies." <br> That is no easy task. Jones points out that the population at hand is sexually active and of child-bearing age — at the start, that makes birth control a trickier issue. Also, says Jones, many women who get abortions may not have access to good health care or reliable contraception, or they may not have partners who are willing to use condoms or to use them consistently. "All of these risk factors combined lead to an increased vulnerability to having multiple unintended pregnancies," Jones says. * One interesting finding is that in recent years, there has been a marked trend toward early abortions — in particular, abortions within 7 weeks of pregnancy — something Jones attributes to more accurate home pregnancy tests and more choices in abortion methods, including the introduction of mifepristone, the miscarriage-inducing drug also known as the RU-486 that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000. <br> Despite a reduction in access to abortion providers — the Guttmacher Institute conducts a regular census, which has consistently shown a decline in abortion care, Jones says — the increase in early termination of pregnancies suggests that women are still able to find providers and find them quickly. While this marks progress, Jones stresses that there is still a lot of ground to cover toward giving women more control over their family planning. "It's not just about preventing pregnancies," Jones says. "It's about having children when you're ready, and when you want to." === "Two Nebraska towns outlaw abortion" (April 16, 2021) === <small> Shatara, Jay (April 16, 2021). [https://nebraska.tv/newsletter-daily/two-nebraska-towns-outlaw-abortion "Two Nebraska towns outlaw abortion"]. nebraska.tv. </small> * HAYES CENTER, Neb. — Hayes Center and Blue Hill join over 20 other towns in the state of Texas to pass an ordinance like this as part of Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn. For both towns in Nebraska, it will be a 500 dollar fine if you break this law. <br> Village Chair of Hayes Center Kimberle Primavera said it is simple. <br> "Our entire board, and I would say and probably most of our community knows when life begins. They know the ending of that life is murder," said Primavera. <br> And she said she hasn't really gotten any pushback from her community on this decision. * But Scott Richters from the ACLU of Nebraska sent us a statement: <br> "Cities and villages cannot outlaw or criminalize abortion. It is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution. We are monitoring suspect local ordinances and exploring our options, including litigation if necessary. <br> People have different views on abortion, but we can all agree that deciding whether and when to become a parent is one of the most private and important decisions a person can make. Politicians at every level need to stop interfering and playing politics with deeply personal medical decisions. Instead of joining in this national, extremist effort to shame others and push abortion care out of reach, the elected leaders of these communities should quickly repeal these ordinances. <br> The facts are clear, these restrictions fall hardest on women of color, poor women and women living in rural communities. These community leaders should be focused on the health of their community, not taking away people’s freedom to make the best decision for themselves and their families. A better path forward would be increasing access to education, as well as family planning and family support services – not putting taxpayers at risk of civil rights litigation.” * "Basically if any kind of litigation were to be brought to the City of Blue Hill, along with our city attorney, with Mitchell Law, we would have representation for that matter," said Schunk. <br> Like her counterpart in Hayes Center, Blue Hill Mayor Keri Schunk presented the idea to her board and got full support. <br> "Basically anybody who intentionally breaks the law of the city is disrespecting the city and risks facing consequences for their actions which would result in a fine," said Schunk. <br> "We didn't have a window into when life begins like we do now. In the age of people crying science, I think we have to look at every medical journal on embryology saying life begins at conception," said Primavera. * Primavera said she took an oath to follow the U.S. Constitution. While the ACLU of Nebraska said that same constitution protects the right to have an abortion. <br> "As Village Board members we take an oath to defend the constitution to what is spelled out very clearly in the Constitution is murder. So ending a life is murder. So our community is very much in support of defending everyone's right to life from conception to natural death," said Primavera. <br> We did ask both Primavera and Schunk if someone were to leave town and get an abortion would they get in trouble? They both said no that doesn't break the law. === “The Abortionist: A Woman Against the Law” (1994) === <small> Rickie Solinger, [https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Abortionist/aWOcDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “The Abortionist: A Woman Against the Law”], The Free Press, 1994, pp. xi, 5, 16–17, 157–75. </small> * For the past one hundred and fifty years in the United States, when abortion has been discussed in public, the context has almost always been legal: we need laws to stamp out abortion. We need to liberalize the laws. We need to give women a legal right to choice. We need to restrict or recriminalize the practice. While these discussions have proceeded across the decades of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries-when abortion was a crime, and when it was not-girls and women have found abortion practitioners to terminate pregnancies they were unable to manage. Our history shows us that neither criminal statues nor censorious public attitudes were ever sufficient to stop women determined to decide for themselves whether and when to become a mother. <br> Nobody knows for sure how many illegal abortions were performed each year in the decades before “Roe v. Wade”, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Law enforcement officials and public health experts often estimated the annual number of abortions at one million, with only ten thousand of those conducted in hospitals as medically sanctioned therapeutic abortions. In 1953, when abortion was most empathetically a crime, Alfred Kisey’s pathbreaking study, “Sexual Behavior and the Human Female” reported that more than one out of every five women in the United States who had sexual relations-whether inside or outside of marriage-ad had an abortion. The experts generally agreed that most illegal abortions were performed on married women, not surprisingly, since more married than single women engaged in sexual relations. But an enormous number of girls and women in both groups found abortionists to take care of them in the illegal era. ** pp.ix-x * We have no reliable numbers to attach to illegal abortions, nor do we have a thorough profile of abortion practitioners. Many were able to conduct their business without exposure. Like many people who operate outside of the law, a number left no evidence of their illegal activities. We do know that in a great many cities and town, medical doctors in the illegal era did sneak in an abortion case every now and then, often as a favor to a long-time patient who made her desperation and her determination frighteningly plain. ** p.x * Some practitioners were not physicians, but were nevertheless highly skilled and experienced. Some were midwives, others nurses, chiropractors, naturopaths. The vast majority of illegal abortions were performed by individuals-doctors and others-who knew what they were doing because they provided their services day in and day out, year after year, for decades at a time with the tactic consent of law enforcement. <br> Others who performed abortions in the illegal era were not trained or skilled. These were the notorious back-alley butchers, the car mechanics, the hairdressers, the proprietors of hardware stores, the housewives who saw that the law together with women’s need to control their fertility, created lucrative opportunities for a person with the stomach to try his or her luck at scraping wombs. These types performed a relatively small share of the abortion carried out in the illegal era. Their careers generally did not last long. They made mistakes, and they were arrested at once. The terrible consequences of their work, and the highly public fate of these abortionists-their arrests and trials and incarcerations-guaranteed them an enduring place in our historical memory of the illegal era, despite their brief and limited practices. ** pp.x-xi * People who saw the results of anti-abortion laws firsthand in the illegal era-the physicians and public health officials who kept tabs on emergency room traffic-were well aware that it was not the physician-abortionist, nor the midwife or chiropractor or even the car mechanic, who caused abortion-seeking girls and women the most physical damage before “Roe v. Wade”. By far, the lion’s share of the damage was at the hands of the unwillingly pregnant woman herself, so desperate and resourceless, so shamed and determined, that she’d take up a hideous array of herbs and implements, despite the spectre of damage and death from self-styled abortions that haunted every woman in those days. Dr. Kinsey and his colleagues in the 1950s estimated that seventy-five to eighty-five percent of septic abortions were self-induced. An obstetrician in Washington, D.C., observed in 1958 that attempts to suppress abortion simply raised the self-induced abortion rate and consequently the death rate. ** p.xi * Today, anti-choice legislators and a minority of our citizenry are determined to use the law again to mandate “counselling” and waiting periods, to require parental and spousal notification to deny insurance coverage for abortion, to prohibit certain kinds of procedures, and ultimately to outlaw altogether the right of women to control their own fertility. The effect of these efforts, where they prevail, will be to mandate the degradation of unwillingly pregnant girls and women and to further entrench a tiered system of access to abortion services that will hurt poor women first. <br> The history of our recent past teaches that anti-abortion statues have had and would again have an additional malign effort-degrading the law itself Although the law never did and never will stop millions of women from determining their own reproductive lives, it has in the past, as Ruth Barnett’s story shows, provided a wealth of opportunities for police corruption, politically corrupt selective enforcement, and politically timed sensational and salacious exposes, all of which endangered and damaged women. ** p.xii * Anti-abortion statues have never stopped abortion in part because these laws have always been at odds with public opinion. That fact may be difficult to remember in the midst of today’s noisy, sometimes violent anti-choice rhetoric and legislative grandstanding. But in the depths of the illegal era, legal experts and law enforcement officials regularly pointed out that the majority of Americans were not opposed to abortion because, then as now, to many of our wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, girlfriends-too many of us-have been caught by unmanageable pregnancies. Yet, in the absence of a feminist movement that linked abortion rights and women’s rights, public tolerance of abortion in the illegal era meant that most Americans passively accepted laws against abortion and quietly sanctioned massive, secretive, individual resistance. But today the public cannot afford to be passive about the right to abortion because a desperate segment of the opposition has turned violent and murderous. This opposition and its far-right supporters are determined to have the state control women’s bodies and fertility once again. ** p.xii * Whether the anti-abortion statues were rarely enforced, as in the Depression-era 1930s, or often enforced, as in the 1950s, the fact that these laws were on the books created opportunities for individuals-sleazy entrepreneurs and ambitious politicians-who did not perform abortions but positioned themselves to benefit from women’s desperation, at women’s expense. And the laws on the books provided a foundation for a kind of vulnerability that started with heterosexual intercourse and rippled out over all the facets of a woman’s life. The story of the illegal era shows how when an activity is simultaneously illegal, culturally taboo, and perceived by women as one of life’s necessities, opportunities about for the degradation of women and the enhancement of the power of men. ** p.xv * Most females who had heterosexual intercourse could become pregnant at any time. Educators, employers, cultural authorities, and many other social arbiters constructed their ideas about girls and women on this reality. Unexpected pregnancy and motherhood justified excluding females from many fields of study and many jobs, justified paying them lower wages than men, and otherwise stunted the claims of women to full membership in society. Plus, as long as females were subjected to laws that denied them sexual and reproductive autonomy, all women were affected, whether or not any one of them climbed up on the abortionist’s table. <br> This insight about the danger to all women has frightening relevance today. “Roe v. Wade” hangs by a thread. Opponents of “Roe” continue to raise religious beliefs about secular law, in violation of the Constitution but with breathtaking conviction and persistence-and success. They proceed with their efforts to recriminalize abortion as if it were possible to cancel this one reproductive right without changing “everything” about the status of fertile, potentially pregnant persons in the United States. Living under a regime of coerced pregnancy, coerced childbearing and coerced parenthood changed everything. ** ”Preface to 2019 Edition”, pp.xviii-xix * The notion of quickening was a venerable, woman-centered concept long embedded in the common law. It allowed that a pregnancy could not be confirmed until the woman felt the fetus move within her body. In the days before drugstore pregnancy kits, sonograms and rabbit tests, and all the other modern methods of verifying pregnancy, the woman herself was the definitive expert. Doctors and midwives agreed that menstrual irregularity-in fact, all the symptoms of pregnancy-“could” be associated with conditions other than pregnancy. So traditionally, it was not until the woman reported the sensation of fetal movement that she could be declared pregnant. Consequently, an abortion in the early months of pregnancy-often treated as an operation to restore the woman’s menstrual flow by removing a “blockage”-was not considered a crime. During all of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century, the quickening doctrine governed abortion law in the North American English colonies, and then in the United States. <br> Even after doctors had prevailed on legislators to make abortion crime, many states retained the quickening doctrine by criminalizing abortion only after the woman reported movement. Oregon’s first anti-abortion statute was based on this premise. The concept of quickening was so enduring that as late as the 1930s, seven states still incorporated it into the statutory language by specifically outlawing procedures on a woman “pregnant with a quick child”. ** Ch.1 “Danger”, p.11-12 * It was always the case that a woman lying in the city hospital, suffering the effects of a botched abortion, caught the attention of law enforcement officials. If the policemen called to her bedside by the hospital staff had reason to believe that the criminal abortion was the work of a lay practitioner, their eagerness to make an arrest might be quite keen. Some observers of the behavior of law enforcement in these years pointed out that police were especially eager to arrest a female abortionist, whether or not she had a death on her hands. <br> A medical man who performed abortions-on the side or for a living-was not so endangered. Certainly he was less likely to be arrested for being a known abortionist. After all, a doctor had the skills that came with medical training, so a district attorney, not eager for abortion prosecutions any-way, could reason that a doctor’s abortion work didn’t really hurt the community or put women’s lives in danger. A seasoned D.A. knew for sure that any abortion conviction was hard enough to win, and a doctor-defendant only made matters worse. For one thing, just about any doctor in town had respectable, pillar-of-the-community colleagues to stand up for him in court and claim the abortion was a medical necessity, no doubt about it. ** p.14 * As one observed in Ruth Barnett’s day put it, “It was to be expected that the abortionists could not ply their trade in security without insuring that law enforcement agencies would keep their eyes fixed in the opposite direction.” Many abortionists dutifully paid the insurance premium directly to the cops. Throughout the illegal decades and across the country, law enforcement officials who did not want to get involved in abortion busts understood that extortion was remunerative alternative to arrest. In most towns it was common knowledge that wherever there were abortionists, there were cops being paid off. One reported, snooping around among abortionists in California, came away convinced of this. He wrote, “In big cities an abortionist who operated openly in a downtown office building must be assumed to have purchased immunity, for the constant stream of women to his office would quickly attract attention.” It was not unusual that a high-level investigator looking into the goings-on in these down-town buildings would end up with more extortion-than abortion-related indictments. In the real world, the anti-abortion laws created more problems than they solved. ** p.15 === “Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950–2000” (1998) === <small> Solinger, Rickie (1998), "Introduction", in Solinger, Rickie (ed.), [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Abortion_Wars/LBQbVVoXLcEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover “Abortion Wars: A Half Century of Struggle, 1950–2000”], University of California Press </small> * Fifty years ago, politicians in this country did not speak in public about abortion. Nor did priests or rabbis. Large groups of people did not collect in Washington, D.C., to demonstrate their support for or abhorrence of abortion rights. Fifty years ago almost no one in the United States imagined coupling the shadowy world of abortion with the concept of the civil rights of women. Abortion practitioners-and there were hundreds of them working in our cities and towns then-did not don bulletproof vests when they went to work in the morning. And fifty years ago, hundreds of thousands of women sought and obtained abortions, furtively keeping appointments with criminalized practitioners in venues on the wrong side of the law. <br> At the end of the twentieth century, the subject of abortion occupies the dedicated space in public discourse for expressions of fear, outrage, and hatred; for struggle over ideology and justice. This is the space that forty to fifty years ago was filled by the subjects of civil rights and communism. Clearly, a great deal has changed in the past half century regarding abortion… ** p.1 * There are pressing reasons to look at the abortion controversy in the United States over time. But before discussing some of the reasons that seem particularly pressing, I want to make the simple point that when a subject is given its history-when the abortion controversy and abortion practice are examined within ahistorical framework-it becomes unsettilingly impossible tot hink about the subject ina fixed, static wat or to claim universalized, decontextualized meanings for abortion and its satellite issues. ** pp.1-2 * What would a contemporary reader make, for instance, of a 1966 letter in my files form a Portland, Oregon, parish priest in good standing who wrote in the Portland city Council imploring this body to quit harassing the city’s most active, most successful, and most demonized abortion practitioner? In this letter the priest insisted that the council grant a permanent license for the motel the abortionist owned on the same block occupied by St. Michael’s Catholic Church. The priest defined his defense of the abortionist clearly: “I sincerely trust that we are still living in an age when a person’s property is respected.” This letter directs the attention of today’s readers to the very interesting fact that in 1966 a catholic clergyman not only argued publicly that property rights trumped abortion wrongs but even portrayed the abortion provider as a hardworking, generous grandmother of four whose place of business was a respectable hostelry. <br> Keeping the priest from St. Michael’s in mind, let’s return to the important reasons for considering the subject of abortion in its historical context. Tobegin with, a historical framework makes clear that the meanings of the most fundamental terms associated with abortion- such as “life, choice, mother, fetal viability”-have shifted, contracting or expanding over the past half century. For both scholarly and strategic reasons, it is important to cultivate a heightened awareness of this process. ** p.2 * The fact is, when foundational terms-particularly those associated with politically charges matters-have fluid and mutable meanings over time, their usage is easily manipulated or distorted and politicized. An advocate can emphasize vestigial meaning in a way that subtly but powerfully eclipses contemporary usage. In the abortion arena, opponents of abortion rights often invoke terms such as “life” and “mother’s destiny” as if they had fixed enduring transcultural and transhistorical meanings. At other times, these same people imbue old terms with apparently modern significations. A demonstration that the meaning of many abortion-related terms has changed over time calls into question the claim of universal, unchanging truth advanced by the anti-rights forces. ** p.2 * Fifty years ago, embryologists and neonatologists were in general agreement that viability-the capacity of the fetus to live outside the womb-was reached after approximately thirty-four weeks of gestation. Scientists and physicians also agreed that “fetal viability” was a technical term relevant mostly to obstetric emergencies. Over the decades, scientific advances have pushed the date of fetal viability back, so that today, in some cases, a fetus of twenty-seven or twenty-eight week’s gestation can be rendered viable. New science has thus fractured old meanings and common usage. Today, anti-rights legislators all over the country and in Congress have appropriated the term from the medical domain and refashioned it as a legal status anda political rallying cry. For abortion rights opponents, the term now demarcates the beginning f a stage of pregnancy in which abortion is deemed “late”, and therefore notoriously and irredeemably wicked. “Fetal viability” has become an anti-rights strategy for demonizing women and disqualifying doctors. ** pp.2-3 * More than 25 years have elapsed since Dr. Bourne, an eminent London obstetrician, was found not guilty after having performed an abortion on a 14-year-old girl who had become pregnant after a particularly brutal rape. In this country no state has specifically legalized an abortion for pregnancy resulting from rape or incest. It is extremely likely, however, that many victims of such crimes have been aborted upon the medical, or more accurately psychiatric, opinion that the operation is necessary to preserve the patient's life. Our society tends to express vigorous condemnation of criminal abortion until confronted with a personally or socially unacceptable pregnancy.<br> In contrast, for abortion rights proponents, the term largely retains its original reference to the fetus “qua” fetus. People who support abortion rights are aware that the very small number of abortion performed after fetal viability are bund up with unavoidable tragedy. Many rights advocates have come to believe that, in practice, fetal viability is a socially constructed and not simply a scientifically predictable status; a woman’s access to prenatal care, adequate diet, high-tech obstetric and neonatal services, and other resources has a decisive impact on when any given fetus achieves viability. Taking into account older meanings and usages of terms central to public discussion of abortion, and the ways these have changes over time, it is not only an interesting intellectual pursuit. It is an aspect of building an effective political strategy. ** pp.2-3 * Looking at abortion politics in a historical framework creates one more important opportunity: the historical evidence challenges and can even demolish the myths that have frozen much of the public discussion of abortion in a dangerous rhetoric outside of time and social context, obscuring and distorting what is at issue. ** p.4 * Terry, Buchanan, and others broadcast the untruth that before “Roe v. Wade”, the United States was a virtually abortion-free country and thus, they say, a country with stronger family values, closer to God. The historical evidence makes clear, however, that before legalization, hundreds of thousands of women obtained abortions each year. The historical evidence forces us to recognize that the laws against abortion did not come anywhere near ending or even effectively containing the procedure, though the laws did, f course, making being a woman more dangerous in this country. ** p.4 * A related myth, promulgated by a broad spectrum of people concerned about abortion and public policy, is that before legalization abortionists were dirty and dangerous back-alley butchers. In one recently released pro-rights documentary about the illegal era, women forced into the back alley by the law and determination to control their own fertility are portrayed as taking their lives into their hands because practitioners were all filthy mercenaries, sexual predators, or both. Again, the historical evidence does not support such claims. Rather, trial records and public health studies-two of the best historical sources for tracking a secret, criminal activity such as abortion-show astonishingly high rates of technical proficiency among criminalized abortion practitioners and surprisingly low rates o septic abortion caused by these persons. The widespread practice of self-induced abortion, on the other hand, did leave a horrible trail of morbidity and mortality. The enduring myth of the back-alley butcher has profound contemporary relevance. The anecdotal, unsubstantiated taint attached to old-time practitioners has a way of bleeding across time to infect the public and professional standing of contemporary practitioners, who, with the myth intact, are “justifiably” targeted by violent “pro-lifers,” marginalized by the medical profession, and shunned by their own communities. ** p.4 * In some ways, at the end of the twentieth century, abortion politics exists on paradoxical terrain. On the one hand, the status of abortion in the United States is more volatile than ever, dependent on a host of variables including presidential elections, the political complexion of the Supreme Court and the fifty state legislatures, and even on the political culture of thousands of municipal police departments. On the other hand, abortion has achieved a dailiness in consciousness of Americans. Regular news reports o legislative hearings, protests, violence, legal challenges to restrictions, and other abortion-related events have kept the issue before the public in ways that were simply unimaginable a half century ago and that today push millions of Americans to consider their personal relation to the issue and take a stand. ** p.4 * It is worth noting here that my own use of the term “abortion rights”, instead of the more commonly used term “choice”, reflects a grow in recognition among advocates that “choice” is the ultimate marketplace concept. When wee construct the abortion arena on the marketplace model, we justify the fact that millions of women in the United States cannot afford to purchase adequate or necessary reproductive health services. When we talk about “rights”-about reproductive rights, including abortion rights of all women-then we are constrained to reevaluate the kings of efforts in which venues we must pursue thee rights, as Kathryn Kolbert and Andrea Miller put it, in order to secure a “new positive rights articulation of Roe” as well as to protect the abortion rights women currently have and win back the ones already lost. ** p.9 * Finally, a theme or undercurrent that runs through all the essays in “Abortion Wars” is that the rights advocates included here, and te organizations, constituencies, caused they represent, have not lost their taste for the struggle. Despite the work and the pain involved in facing and facing down the violent opposition, despite the tragedies that has entailed, despite the harsh tasks of responding to hostile legislators while devising innovative strategies, despite the arduous efforts associated with applying the lessons of history to the process of redefining the issues that constitute the heart of the abortion rights struggle today, the voices in this volume are surprisingly energetic. At the end of the twentieth century, abortion rights-reproductive rights-remain a deeply worthy cause because achieving these rights will bolster the claim of all women to lives imbued with justice, safety, and dignity. ** p.9 * In recent years historians and activists have begun to write the history of abortion politics in the era before 1973. They have been motivated to reclaim this history in part to remind women and men in the United States how dangerous it was to be a fertile female in this country when the judiciary, the legislatures, and social agencies-but not vulnerable pregnant women had the legal right to determine who was a mother and when. Historians of this era are also determined to analyze the factors that made legalization possible in 1973, including, prominently, a massive, organized pro-rights feminist movement. The writers of the three historical essays in this section believe that understanding the waning decades of criminal abortion is important for understanding contemporary abortion politics and the opportunities before us today. ** "Coercion, Resistance, and Liberation Before Roe. v. Wade", p.13 * In the late 1980s, when the legal right to abortion seemed desperately threatened, I decided to find out as much as I could about the experience of single mothers and unwillingly pregnant girls and women in the decades immediately preceding “Roe v Wade”. I imagined that in uncovering these experiences, I would find patterns reflecting literally millions of instances of danger, coercion, humiliation, and basic degradation of females in the United States. And indeed I did. I believed that writing about these patterns-laying out the proof of degradation-would help dissipate legislative and judicial efforts to reenslave girls and women to their fertility.<br> Today, with the threat to reproductive freedom still a virulent strain in out political culture, I am painfully aware of the romanticism of my original intention, based as it was on the simple conviction that history is transformative. Having had such high hopes for the evidence I found in archives and trial transcripts, I neglected to consider how difficult it is to communicate history, perhaps especially this recent, decidedly unglamorous history of the politics of female fertility.<br> But even now that my perspective on the power of history is more clear-sighted, in the sense that I know more about how hard it is to bring history into the political and policy arenas, I remain just as certain that knowledge of the history of reproductive politics in the United States is crucial, for a number of reasons. One o the most important reasons is that history does teach that most transformative lesson: progressive social change is possible and occurs most surely and swiftly in eras of progressive activism. And, when we know the history of reproductive politics, we can better understand the roots of current conflicts in this arena. Then we who believe in women’s reproductive rigts can use this understanding to define out goals and shape our strategies. ** “Pregnancy And Power Before Roe v. Wade, 1950-1970”, p.15 * The truth is that even when blocked by laws, institutions, and authorities, up to one million women a year sought and obtained abortions in the illegal era-though not without a struggle. ** p.16 * The contemporary history of reproductive politics in the United States begins immediately after World War II, after a period when women had joined the paid workforce in unprecedented numbers, and at a point when the issue of race was emerging as a central concern of the polity and its citizens. In the late 1940s and into the 1950s, cultural arbiters and authorities-psychiatrists, lawyers and judges, educators and employers, journalists and politicians, advertisers, the clergy, fashion designers, social service providers, and others-used the media as never before to address what had become a set of burning questions: Who is the American woman? What is a woman? Who is a mother? Most prominently published responses to these questions claimed not just that motherhood was defining attribute of womanhood, but that for motherhood to be an authentic expression of femininity (a postwar synonym for womanhood), it must occur within marriage. A woman, they claimed, must passively receive and submit to the “gifts” of marriage, especially pregnancy. Sensationalized public censure of females who got pregnant without being married or were otherwise unwillingly pregnant, combined with greatly increased prosecutions of illegal abortion practitioners, gave bite to prevailing definitions of womanhood and warned all women about the wages of transgression. It was in this context that various power centers mobilized to clamp down on women seeking to control their fertility and on those willing to help them do so. ** p.17 * Today, abortion practitioner in the United States are targeted and reviled by the radical right and isolated by their communities. Many wear bulletproof vests in public, and almost all have unlisted home telephone numbers. The need for such precautions is relatively recent. During the illegal era (from the mid-nineteenth century until 1973), abortion practitioners operated with varying degrees of secrecy, but they did not fear for their lives. In fact, a number of abortionists I the illegal era provided their services for years-twenty, thirty, forty years, and more-completely unimpeded by the law. In many communities, the local abortion practitioner’s name and address were well known, not only to women who might require the service but also to police and politicians, who generally regarded the presence of a good abortionist a public health asset. For decades after the American medical Association worked with state legislatures in the nineteenth century to outlaw abortion, abortion prosecutions were rare relative to the number of abortions performed. In most communities an unwritten agreement prevailed between law enforcement and practitioners: no death, no prosecution. <br> But after World War II the old agreement was rather suddenly canceled, and practitioners-chiefly the female ones (presumed by law enforcement to be unskilled, untrained, and unprotected in comparison to their male counterparts, and therefore more likely to be convicted)-were arrested, convicted, and sent to jail in unprecedented numbers, even when there was no evidence of a botched abortion. Many of these practitioners were highly skilled and experienced, having performed twenty some abortions a day, year after year. ** pp.17-18 * If we look at when and how these arrests were carried out and at how abortion trials were conducted, we can get a sense of what was at issue and begin to understand the agendas of the district attorneys, judges, and politicians who managed the postwar crackdowns. In many cities what stands out is that everything about these prosecutions-the sensationalized media coerage of police raids, arrests, and trials-transformed abortion from an everyday, if semi-secret, occurrence into a crime. Often sccandal0tainted mayors and police forces were looking for opportunities to demonstrate that municipal governance and law enforcement were not ineffectual or corrupt, as charged. Many police chiefs, in concert with a district attorney’s office, an eager-crime busting reporter, or a clutch of city fathers concerned with civil probity, scouted for fodder for municipal exposes. Theirs was a peculiarly postwar-cold war project: to root out the “hidden” enemy within and “cleanse” the city in the process. I Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Trenton, Portland, Oregon, and other cities, even though there was no expressed anti-abortion agenda (nobody raised the specter or even the subject of unborn babies), women abortionists and their clients became attractive targets. These women represented a political opportunity because they were vulnerable, with almost no resource to credible defense. Moreover, given the associations of sex and secrecy, the arrests were eciting; the lurid headlines sold newspapers and made law enforcement appear well deployed. <br> What one finds in the abortion courtroom is that in the postwar decades such trials became first-rate occasions for men0doctors, lawyers, judges, police, jury members-to gather in apublic place and affirm their right to govern women’s bodies, to define women’s rights, and to enforce women’s vulnerability. In addition, these trials were titillating dramas that pitted one woman against another-the alleged abortionist (case most often as a perverse and mercenary harridan) against her putative client (the slut). The whole event was drenched in sex. Whatever it occurred, the trial emerged day by day as a species of pornography, a cryptoporn show in which, in the name of the law and public morality men invoked women’s naked bodies, their sexuality, and their vulnerability in a style that was both contemptuous and erotic. ** pp.18-19 * Anyone could see that enforcing anti-abortion laws involved the degradation of women. Every woman, whether she ever had or ever would climb up on the abortionist’s table, was endangered by the statutes that criminalized abortion. <br> The prosecutions (and our memories of them) also carried the message that abortion practitioners were vulnerable vermin-an attitude that lives on in the anti-abortionists’ hit list, as well as in the pro-choice claim that the chief function of “Roe v. Wade” has been to protect women from the back-alley butchers of the past, despite the historical reality that most illegal abortions were performed by highly skilled and experienced practitioners, who compiled an astonishing record of successful procedures under extremely difficult conditions. In actuality, the power of “Roe, v. Wade” has been, since 1973, to diminish the danger and the degradation of women mandated by the anti-abortion statues of the criminal era. ** pp.19-20 * At the same time that police and politicians were busy burnishing their reputations by cracking down on illegal abortionists, medical doctors were experimenting with opportunistic and oppressive supervisory structures of their own. In the late 1940 doctors designed these structures-hospital abortion boards-to govern the meaning and the course of the pregnancies of millions of women. The boards ensured that experts, not women themselves, had final control over the abortion decision. ** p.20 * In the postwar era, after several generations of performing abortions themselves, looking th other way, or facilitating, through referrals, illegal abortions, a great many doctors adopted an aggressive position against abortion. Before the war many women had found cooperative doctors, as evidenced by the vast number of approved medical indications for “therapeutic abortion” (a list that kept expanding through the 1930s). Even a woman who did not have a medical problem had little trouble finding one of the hundreds of illegal practitioners who practiced undisturbed, in the shadows of cities and towns across the country. One way or another, thousands and thousands of women each year who wanted to end their pregnancies found a way. But after the war things changed. Many doctors said abortion was no longer necessary. <br> For one thing, the list of illnesses that doctors had defined as incompatible with pregnancy began to shrink year by year with the advent of new therapies and technologies. By the early 1950, influential physicians were standing up to make the claim that almost no medical contraindications to pregnancy remained. Even a woman with breast cancer or cardiovascular disease, who could have gotten a routine hospital abortion in the 1930s, was not told not to worry about having a baby. ** pp.20-21 * In these postwar years, pregnancy became fundamentally a moral issue. As new imaging technology allowed doctors to construct the fetus as a “little person,” they tended to describe pregnancy “fist” as a process of fulfillment and realization for the fetus, and to refer to the pregnany woman’s bdy in terms that suggested a safe reproductive container. Now the pregnany woman,, along with her physician, had the moral duty to keep the container fit. As one obstetrician put it: “Woman is a uterus surrounded by a supporting mechanism and a directing personality." completely effaced, the woman-as-uterus simply housed the child. <br> As doctors adopted and promoted these ideas, the number and the rate of therapeutic abortions performed in U.S. hospitals plummeted. ** pp.20-21 * In some ways the situation was paradoxical. On the one hand, many people believed that doctors were scientific and humanitarian heroes for subduing the dangers of pregnancy and for developing methods to conquer diseases that threatened pregnancy and the pregnant female. On the other hand, state laws still required that a pregnant woman’s life had to be endangered for her to get an abortion. Medical advances had seemingly wiped out any legal grounds for demanding abortion-but they had not changed women’s determination to get abortions, the law and their doctors’ proscriptions notwithstanding. ** p.22 * There is no question that doctors were feeling the squeeze from all sides and from within their own ranks as well. Any two doctors might disagree about which woman should be given permission for an abortion, under which conditions. Nevertheless, doctors still had a legal responsibility to make the decision. And they were still interested in holding on to their medical authority to do so. The result was that many physicians struggled to find new grounds for making medical decisions about abortions. To a significant extent, psychiatrists helped out in the crisis, providing myriad esoteric ways of selecting who should and who should not be permitted an abortion. It must be added that most of these ways were based on providing a clinical answer to the question, “Is this woman psychologically fit to be a mother?” Answers in the negative-those that gave women permission to abort-defined the petitioner as unfit, unwomanly, to some degree depraved. The means and the ends here were both degrading to women seeking to control their fertility. <br> Beyond this help from psychiatrists, though, physicians felt a need to create institutional structures to strengthen their position as abortion decision makers. In the late 1940s an early 1950s, they began to assemble hospital-based abortion committees. From these official groups, professional, expert diagnoses an decisions regarding individual women could be issued in one voice. The abortion committees gave doctors legal protection and ensured that the “right” ratio of births to abortions was maintained in the hospital. The ratio varied from hospital to hospital, but doctors everywhere believed that a high ratio of births to abortions would protect the reputation of their hospital. ** p.22 * Briefly, after World War II tens of thousands of white girls and women who became pregnant outside of marriage each year were unable to determine either the course of their pregnancies or the conditions of their maternity. They were, in astonishing numbers, deeply shamed by their families removed from school, diagnosed as psychologically disturbed, and defined as not-mothers without husbands. They were pressed, even coerced, into giving up their “valuable” white babies for adoption to infertile, white, married couples prescreened and judged by social workers to be eager and proper parents.<br> In contrast, black girls and women who were unmarried and pregnant kept their “illegitimate” children, often with the help of their families and community-based institutions. But politicians in every region of the country began to blame unwed blac mothers for producing “excessive” numbers of “unwanted” black babies. Politicians and journalists said these babies created burdens for white taxpayers. Worse, many politicians, policy makers, and ordinary citizens began claiming at mid-century that the wombs of poor black women, excessively and wantonly fertile, were the course of all problems in the black community (including poverty, juvenile delinquency, and urban disorders) and, bu extension, in America as a whole. <br> Consequently, beginning in the late 1940s and continuing with increasing determination throughout the postwar decades, politicians threatened unwed mothers of color with incarceration, sterilization, and removal from welfare rolls. Social scientists and social commentators of diverse political persuasions began-at a time when the whole country was a battleground in the war of integrationists versus segregationists-to use the out-of-wedlock pregnancies of some women of color to bolster policies of white supremacy. Many used these “illegitimate” pregnancies to justify stands against school integration and for restrictive public housing policies. Numerous politicians associated welfare with oversexed black women who had too many children, thus giving focus to white opposition to government aid to poor mothers and their children, especially African Americans. ** p.27 * We can find additional roots (and lessons) in this history. To begin with, it seems to me that the poisonous attacks and deathly threats against abortion providers today depend heavily on a continuing cultural hostility to women who take the right to separate sex and maternity. The attacks also depend, just as heavily, on a misreading of the past, a misreading that says that cravenly greedy back-alley butchers were the chief source of danger to helpless women in the criminal era. Given the salacious and sensational prosecutions of illegal abortionists in the’. postwar decades it is easy to understand why so many people on all sides of the abortion issue find it reasonable to marginalize or target practitioners. They forget that it was “the law”, not illegal abortionists, that created, even mandated, danger for all women before “Roe v, Wade ** p.28 * The lessons of midcentury reproductive politics are not, however, all cautionary and grim. For example, it is instructive to know that in the late 1950s, among broadly middle-class white girls and women who got pregnant while unmarried, over 95 percent gave their babies up for adoption. Today the rate for all such girls and women is 3 percent. This is a startling change and suggests that with “Roe v. Wade”, women won more than the right to decide whether to stay pregnant. They also won the overlapping but distinct right to decide whether to become a mother. With the dramatic decline of coerced adoptions and the advent of legal abortion, many women in the United States have rights and choices that were virtually unimaginable in the recent past and certainly unobtainable. Social change is possible and, in the case of reproductive politics, was realized largely during the resurgence of the feminist movement from 1965 to 1980.<br> At the end of the twentieth century, racism, misogyny, and prejudice against poor people are factors that deeply stain our national culture and consequently stain the politics of female fertility. ** pp.28-29 === "Study: Abortion rate at lowest point since 1973"(February 2, 2014) === <small> Somashekhar, Sandhya (February 2, 2014). [https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/study-abortion-rate-at-lowest-point-since-1973/2014/02/02/8dea007c-8a9b-11e3-833c-33098f9e5267_story.html?hpid=z2 "Study: Abortion rate at lowest point since 1973"]. Washington Post. </small> * The abortion rate in the United States dropped to its lowest point since the Supreme Court legalized the procedure in all 50 states, according to a study suggesting that new, long-acting contraceptive methods are having a significant impact in reducing unwanted pregnancies. <br> There were fewer than 17 abortions for every 1,000 women in 2011, the latest year for which figures were available, according a paper published Monday from the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion-rights think tank. That is down 13 percent from 2008 and a little higher than the rate in 1973, when the Supreme Court handed down its landmark Roe v. Wade decision. * The study did not examine the reasons for the drop. But the authors suggested that one factor was greater reliance on new kinds of birth control, including intra-uterine devices such as Mirena, which can last for years and are not susceptible to user error like daily pills or condoms. <br> They also noted the economy as a contributing factor, because people tend to adhere more strictly to their birth control during tough economic times. But they did not credit the recent wave of state laws restricting access to abortion, because most of those took effect in 2011 or later. <br> Those restrictions will surely have an impact on the numbers going forward, said Rachel K. Jones, a senior researcher at Guttmacher and lead researcher on the paper. <br> “If the abortion rate continues to drop, we can’t assume it’s all due to positive factors” such as better adherence to contraceptives, she said, calling the laws passed in 22 states “onerous.” * “We are extremely happy that the abortion numbers are going down and continue to be declining over the years,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, a prominent antiabortion group. <br.> Such groups, including Tobias’s, reject the Guttmacher Institute’s conclusion that the decrease is not related to state regulations restricting access to the procedure, because while the major surge in new laws came in 2011, some laws came earlier. For example, 39 states require parental notification or consent for a minor to get an abortion. <br> They say the graphic conversation in the 1990s around the procedure they call “late-term” abortion contributed to a greater awareness of, and horror over, how abortions are performed. And they credit new technologies that allow people to better observe what happens in the womb even at the earliest stages of pregnancy. <br> “This is a post-sonogram generation,” said Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, the group behind many of the new state limits on abortions. “There is increased awareness throughout our culture of the moral weight of the unborn baby. And that’s a good thing.” * Guttmacher researchers said it is unlikely that previous laws had an impact, because they examined the abortion rate in more liberal states that did not enact such laws prior to 2011 and found no difference in the trend. <br> The study released Monday shows that, after a plateau from 2005 to 2008, the long-term decline in the abortion rate has resumed. The rate has dropped significantly from its all-time high in 1981, when there were roughly 30 abortions for every 1,000 women of reproductive age. The overall number of abortions also fell 13 percent from 2008 to nearly 1.1 million in 2011, the study said. <br> The results echo a report last year from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which also found a decline in the abortion rate after a plateau. That report, which used a different methodology, pegged the abortion rate in 2010 as 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women of reproductive age. * Experts cautioned that the numbers documented by Guttmacher in the immediate aftermath of Roe v. Wade may be particularly shaky. Many abortions were still taking place underground and off the books at that time. <br> Monday’s report showed a shift in women’s preferred method of abortion. Researchers found that nearly one in four of all non-hospital abortions were a result of the abortion pill, up from 17 percent in 2008. The total number of abortion providers declined 4 percent over the same period. <br> Six states experienced no change or an increase in their abortion rates: Alaska, Maryland, Montana, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Wyoming. Researchers did not explain why those states defied the overall trend. === "Hayes Center is first Nebraska town to make abortion illegal and punishable by law" (April 15, 2021) === <small> Standiford, Melanie (April 7, 2021). [https://www.1011now.com/2021/04/08/hayes-center-is-first-nebraska-town-to-make-abortion-illegal-and-punishable-by-law/ "Hayes Center is first Nebraska town to make abortion illegal and punishable by law"]. www.1011now.com. Retrieved April 15, 2021. </small> * Village Chair Kimberle Primavera visited with the Village of Hayes Center Board of Trustees about a month ago about a petition for the “Right to Life” in a very pro-active way. Primavera, a transplant from the Lincoln area, was intrigued and inspired by the movement sweeping across the State of Texas - 23 Texas towns passing enforceable ordinances outlawing abortion with several more in the process of working toward that end including Lubbock, Texas (population 264,000). The citizens of Lubbock are voting on outlawing abortion within their city limits on May 1, 2021. The biggest Texas town outlawing abortion to date is Big Spring, population 28,362. <br> According to the founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn Mark Lee Dickson of Texas, the reason for the movement is a proactive stand against the “promise by the Biden Administration to make abortion access available to every zip code in America during the administration.” Hayes Center is the only incorporated city in the 69032 zip code. * Dickson proudly wears the badge of being the only person currently involved in three one-million-dollar lawsuits for saying on social media that: <br> “.....abortion is murder,” and “the abortion industry is involved in the murder of innocent children.” <br> Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn founder Mark Lee Dickson * Dickson made the trip to Hayes Center last week with a draft of an ordinance made specifically for Hayes Center. He explains that every town’s ordinance looks different depending on the town’s size and laws already in place. <br> Dickson also says while other towns have passed resolutions to be pro-life, a resolution does nothing to enforce the statement of “pro-life.” He wonders how the Governor of Nebraska Pete Ricketts will react to Hayes Center’s stance after regularly announcing Nebraska as a “pro-life state.” * This new ordinance in Hayes Center is enforceable. Due to existing statutes, a $500 fine for an offense of abortion in Hayes Center is as severe as they are allowed to punish an offender. The punishment varies from city to city. <br> The Hayes Center Ordinance outlawing abortion declares: “It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the Village of Hayes Center, Nebraska,” and “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the Village of Hayes Center, Nebraska.” <br> The ordinance reads that it does not include Plan B, birth control devices, or oral contraceptives. However, it does include abortion-inducing drugs. Any drugs administered by an abortion clinic with the intent to “kill an unborn” are considered contraband. According to the ordinance, these drugs include “mifepristone, misoprostol, and any drug or medication that is used to terminate the life of an unborn,” according to the ordinance. * If the Village of Hayes Center should find itself in a lawsuit, Attorney Jonathan F. Mitchell, former Texas Solicitor General, has agreed to represent the city at no cost to the city or taxpayers. <br> Dickson challenges cities and churches to start speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves and make changes and put forth efforts toward helping women when they find themselves in a difficult situation in ways that preserve life. === "Abortion surveillance--United States, 2001" (2004) === <small> Strauss, Lilo T.; Herndon, Joy; Chang, Jeani; Parker, Wilda Y.; Bowens, Sonya V.; Zane, Suzanne B.; Berg, Cynthia J.; Berg, CJ (2004). [https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5309a1.htm "Abortion surveillance--United States, 2001"]. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. 53 (9): 1–32. PMID 15562258. </small> * Results: A total of 853,485 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC for 2001 from 49 reporting areas, representing a 0.5% decrease from the 857,475 legal induced abortions reported by the same 49 reporting areas for 2000. The abortion ratio, defined as the number of abortions per 1,000 live births, was 246 in 2001, compared with 245 reported for 2000. This represents a 0.4% increase in the abortion ratio. The abortion rate was 16 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years for 2001, the same as for 2000. For both the 48 and 49 reporting areas, the abortion rate remained relatively constant during 1997--2001. <br> The highest percentages of reported abortions were for women who were unmarried (82%), white (55%) and aged <25 years (52%). Of all abortions for which gestational age was reported, 59% were performed at <8 weeks' gestation and 88% at <13 weeks. From 1992 (when detailed data regarding early abortions were first collected) through 2001, steady increases have occurred in the percentage of abortions performed at <6 weeks' gestation. A limited number of abortions were obtained at >15 weeks' gestation, including 4.3% at 16--20 weeks and 1.4% at >21 weeks. A total of 35 reporting areas submitted data stating that they performed medical (nonsurgical) procedures, making up 2.9% of all reported procedures from the 45 areas with adequate reporting on type of procedure. In 2000 (the most recent year for which data are available), 11 women died as a result of complications from known legal induced abortion. No deaths were associated with known illegal abortion. * Interpretation: During 1990--1997, the number of legal induced abortions gradually declined. When the same 48 reporting areas are compared, the number of abortions decreased during 1996--2001. In 2000 and 2001, even with one additional reporting state, the number of abortions declined slightly. In 2000, as in previous years, deaths related to legal induced abortions occurred rarely (less than one death per 100,000 abortions). * Overall, the annual number of legal induced abortions in the United States increased gradually from 1973 until it peaked in 1990, and it generally declined thereafter. In 2001, a total of 853,485 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC by 49 reporting areas. This represents a 0.5% decrease from 2000, for which the same 49 areas reported 857,475 legal induced abortions. <br> The national legal induced abortion ratio increased from 196 per 1,000 live births in 1973 (the first year that 52 areas reported) to 358 per 1,000 in 1979 and remained nearly stable through 1981. The ratio peaked at 364 per 1,000 in 1984 and since then has demonstrated a generally steady decline. In 2001, the abortion ratio was 246 per 1,000 in 49 reporting areas and 247 for the same 48 reporting areas for which data were available since 1998. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2000 (246 per 1,000). <br> The national legal induced abortion rate increased from 14 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years in 1973 to 25 per 1,000 in 1980. The rate remained stable, at 23--24 per 1,000 during the 1980s and early 1990s and at 20--21 per 1,000 during 1994-- 1997. The abortion rate remained unchanged at 17 per 1,000 during 1997--1999 in the same 48 reporting areas. In 2001, the abortion rate remained unchanged from 2000 at 16 per 1,000, both overall and in the same 48 reporting areas as 1999. * The numbers, ratios, and rates of reported legal induced abortions are presented by area of residence as well as by area of occurrence. In 2001, the highest number of reported legal induced abortions occurred in NYC (91,792), Florida (85,589), and Texas (77,409); the fewest† occurred in Idaho (738), South Dakota (895), and North Dakota (1,216). The abortion ratios by state or area of occurrence ranged from 36 per 1,000 live births in Idaho to 767 per 1,000 in NYC. Among women aged 15--44 years, the rates by occurrence ranged from 3 per 1,000 women in Idaho to 37 per 1,000 in DC. These ratios and rates should be viewed with consideration of the sizable variation by state in the percentage of abortions obtained by out-of-state residents. In 2001, approximately 9% of reported abortions were obtained by out-of-state residents (range: from 0.3% [in Hawaii] to 56% [in DC]). Data by state of residence are incomplete because three states (Alaska, California, and New Hampshire) did not report any data on abortion, and six states (Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin) did not provide data concerning the residence status of all women obtaining abortions in their state. <br> Women known to be aged 20--24 years obtained 33% of all abortions for which age was adequately reported. Adolescents known to be aged <15 years obtained <1.0% of all abortions in the 48 areas that reported age. Abortion ratios were highest for adolescents aged <15 years (744 per 1,000 live births) and lowest for women aged 30--34 years (147 per 1,000). In contrast to abortion ratios, among females for whom age was reported, abortion rates were highest for women aged 20--24 years (32 per 1,000 women) and lowest for females at the extremes of reproductive age (1 per 1,000 adolescents aged 13--14 years and 2 per 1,000 women aged 40--44 years). Among women aged <20 years (46 reporting areas), the percentage of abortions obtained increased with age; the abortion ratio was highest for adolescents aged <15 years§ (731 per 1,000 live births) and lowest for women aged 19 years (326 per 1,000). Conversely, the rates of abortions were lowest (1 per 1,000) for adolescents aged <15 years and highest (29 per 1,000) for women aged 19 years). * Abortion trends by age indicate that since 1973, abortion ratios have been higher for adolescents aged <15 years than for any other age group. For females aged <19 years and those aged >40 years, the abortion ratio generally increased from 1974 through the early 1980s and declined thereafter. The abortion ratio for women aged 20--34 years (those with the highest fertility rates) has declined slightly since the mid-1980s. The abortion ratio for women aged 35--39 years has declined gradually over time. <br> In 2001, for women whose weeks of gestation at the time of abortion were adequately reported (42 reporting areas), 59% of reported legal induced abortions were known to have been obtained at <8 weeks' gestation and 87% at <13 weeks. Overall (40 reporting areas), 25% of abortions were known to have been performed at <6 weeks' gestation, 18% at 7 weeks, and 16% at 8 weeks. Few reported abortions occurred after 15 weeks' gestation: 4.2% at 16--20 weeks and 1.4% at >21 weeks. * For women whose type of procedure was adequately reported, 95% of abortions were known to have been performed by curettage (which includes dilatation and evacuation [D&E]) and 0.5% by intrauterine instillation. Hysterectomy and hysterotomy were included in the "other" procedure category and were known to have been used in <0.01% of all abortions. Thirty-five reporting areas submitted information regarding performance of medical (nonsurgical) procedures, hereafter referred to as medical abortions. Known medical abortions make up approximately 3% of all procedures reported from the 45 areas with adequate reporting on type of procedure. Additionally, three areas that did not collect data separately for medical abortions on their abortion reporting form included medical abortions in the "other" category. For the 32 areas that reported medical abortions separately, 20,093 medical abortion procedures were performed in 2001. (Five states reported that no medical abortions were performed in 2001 but did not specify whether such abortions were available.) For the 27 states that reported one or more medical abortion for both 2001 and 2000, the data reflect an increase of 173%, from 6,892 in 2000 to 18,836 in 2001. The extent to which the 20,093 medical abortions reported to CDC for 2001 represent the use of this procedure in all reporting areas is unknown. * In the 39 reporting areas for which race was provided classified according to the same categories used in previous years, approximately 54% of women who obtained legal induced abortions were known to be white, 36% black, and 8% other; for the other 2%, race was not known. The abortion ratio for black women (491 per 1,000 live births) was 3.0 times the ratio for white women (165 per 1,000), and the ratio for women of the nonhomogenous "other" race category (376 per 1,000) was 2.3 times the ratio for white women. The abortion rate for black women (29 per 1,000 women) was 3.0 times the rate for white women (10 per 1,000) whereas the abortion rate for women of other races (21 per 1,000 women) was 2.1 times the rate for white women. * NYC and 31 states reported separate and adequate data on the ethnicity of women who obtained legal induced abortions. The percentage of abortions known to have been obtained by Hispanic women in these reporting areas was 17% overall (range: from <0.1% [in Kentucky] to 49% [in New Mexico]). For Hispanic women in these reporting areas, the abortion ratio was 230 per 1,000 live births, and the abortion rate was 22 per 1,000 women. <br> For women whose marital status was adequately reported (39 reporting areas), 79% of women who obtained abortions were known to be unmarried. The abortion ratio for unmarried women (572 per 1,000 live births) was 8.8 times that for married women (65 per 1,000). * For women who obtained legal induced abortions and for whom data on previous live births were adequately reported (41 reporting areas), 45% were known to have had no previous live births, and 88% had two or more previous live births. The abortion ratio was highest for women who had either no or three previous live births (264 per 1,000 live births) and lowest for those who had one previous live birth (180 per 1,000). <br> For women who obtained an abortion and whose number of previous abortions was adequately reported (39 reporting areas), 55% were reported to have obtained an abortion for the first time, and 18% were reported to have had at least two previous abortions. * For women whose age and race were known (37 reporting areas), white women had a slightly greater percentage of abortions in the youngest (<19 years) and oldest (>35 years) age groups compared with black women (18% versus 17% and 12% versus 9%, respectively), whereas women of other races who had abortions tended to be older. For women whose marital status and race were both known, the percentage of reported abortions among unmarried black women was higher (88%) than that among unmarried women who were white (79%) or of other races (65%). Among older (aged >35 years) women obtaining abortions whose age and ethnicity were known and reported adequately (32 reporting areas), the percentage of abortions obtained by non-Hispanic women (12%) exceeded that for Hispanic women (10%). Among women whose marital status and ethnicity were known and reported adequately (30 reporting areas), the percentage of reported abortions obtained by unmarried women was somewhat higher for non-Hispanic women (82%) than for Hispanic women (80%). Adequate data were not available to cross-classify race by Hispanic ethnicity. * As in the past, approximately 88% of all abortions for which gestational age at the time of abortion was known and reported adequately were obtained at <12 weeks' gestation. The percentage of women who obtained an abortion at <8 weeks' gestation increased with age. This association was most pronounced for abortions obtained at <6 weeks' gestation. The percentage of women who obtained an abortion at >21 weeks' gestation decreased with age for women through age 25--29 years. Among women with adequately reported race and weeks of gestation, white women and women of other races were more likely than black women to obtain abortions at <6--7 weeks' gestation. Among women with adequately reported known ethnicity and weeks of gestation, the difference in timing of their abortions between Hispanic and non-Hispanic women was minimal (0.1%--1.9%) at any gestational age. * For women whose type of procedure and weeks of gestation were known and adequately reported (38 reporting areas), approximately 96% of reported abortions obtained at <15 weeks' gestation were performed by using curettage (primarily suction procedures). Approximately 95% of the 16,183 reported medical abortions were performed at <8 weeks' gestation, representing 4.6% of all abortions performed at <8 weeks' gestation. At >16 weeks' gestation, medical abortions (n = 496) made up 1.5% of all abortions. Medical abortions constituted 0.1% of procedures performed in the 9--15 weeks' gestation range. Intrauterine instillation involving use of saline or prostaglandin was used rarely (0.2% of all abortions), primarily at >16 weeks' gestation. * By using data from the National Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System, CDC identified 22 maternal deaths for 2000 that were potentially related to abortion. These maternal deaths were identified either by an indication of abortion on the death certificate or from information such as a news report associated with the death. Investigation of these cases indicated that 11 of the 22 deaths in 2000 were related to legal induced abortion and none to illegal induced abortion; eight deaths were attributable to spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), and three deaths were determined not to be abortion related. Numbers of deaths attributable to legal induced abortion were highest before the 1980s, with a limited number of deaths occurring in any single year. Possible abortion-related deaths that occurred during 2001--2004 are being investigated. * A total of 853,485 legal induced abortions were reported in the United States in 2001 from 47 states, DC, and NYC. This reflects a decline of 0.5% from the number of legal induced abortions reported for 2000 from the same reporting areas; however, the ratio increased 0.4%. A decline of 0.5% in the number of abortions is also apparent when the same 48 reporting areas that reported for all years 1998--2001 are compared with those that reported for 2000--2001. Before 1998, a substantial number of legal induced abortions were estimated to have been performed in California (e.g., >23% of the U.S. total in 1997). Beginning in 1998, data were no longer estimated for nonreporting states. The lack of data for California for 2001 explains the majority of the 28% decrease from the annual number of abortions reported for 1997 as well as part of the decrease in the total ratio and rate. * Overall, abortion ratios and abortion rates have declined over time. The abortion ratio for 2001 (246 per 1,000 live births for the same 49 reporting areas as 2000) remained relatively stable from the previous year. For the same 49 reporting areas as 2000, the abortion rate for women aged 15--44 years (16 per 1,000 women) declined slightly (0.8%) from the rate reported for 2000. The overall declines in the abortion ratio and rate over time might reflect multiple factors, including a decrease in the number of unintended pregnancies; a shift in the age distribution of women toward the older and less fertile ages; reduced or limited access to abortion services, including the passage of abortion laws that affect adolescents (e.g. parental consent or notification laws and mandatory waiting periods); and changes in contraceptive practices, including increased use of contraceptives (e.g., condoms and, among young women, of long-acting hormonal contraceptive methods that were introduced in the early 1990s). <br> The abortion rate reported here for the United States was higher than recent rates reported for Canada and Western European countries and lower than rates reported for China, Cuba, the majority of Eastern European countries, and certain Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union. * As in previous years, the abortion ratio in 2001 varied substantially by age. Although the abortion ratio was highest for adolescents in 2001, since the mid-1980s, the ratio has gradually declined for those aged <15 and 15--19 years. Other studies also have indicated a decrease in birth rates for females aged 10--14 and 15--19 years during 1991--2001 and a decrease in adolescent pregnancy rates during 1991--2000. However, abortion rates have not decreased equally among women of all races and ethnicities; rates are declining more slowly among adolescents who are not enrolled in school and those that are members of minority populations. * The percentage distribution of abortions by known weeks of gestation has shifted slightly since the late 1970s. From 1992 (when detailed data on early abortions were first available) through 2001, data have indicated steady increases in procedures performed at <6 weeks' gestation with decreases occurring in the percentage of abortions performed at 8, 9--10, and 11--12 weeks' gestation. The increase in the percentage of abortions known to have been performed at <6 weeks' gestation might be related to an increase in the availability of early abortion services since 1992 and an increase in medical and surgical procedures that can be performed early in gestation. Abortions performed early in pregnancy are associated with lower risks of mortality and morbidity. The proportions of abortions performed later in pregnancy (>13 weeks) have varied little since 1992. The gestational age at which an abortion is obtained can be influenced by multiple factors in addition to those for which surveillance data are available (age, race, and ethnicity). These additional factors include level of education, availability and accessibility of abortion services, timing of confirmation of pregnancy, timing of personal decision-making, timing of prenatal diagnosis, level of fear of discovery of pregnancy, and denial of pregnancy. * Since the mid-1990s, two medical regimens (mifepristone and methotrexate, each used in conjunction with misoprostol) have been tested in clinical trials and used by clinical practitioners to perform early medical abortions (3. CDC surveillance data indicate that approximately 60% of all U.S. abortions are performed at <8 weeks' gestation, which is similar to the timing of the regimen approved for both mifepristone and methotrexate. Mifepristone for medical abortion was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use and distribution in the United States in September 2000. The FDA-approved protocol can be initiated at <49 days of gestation and requires three office visits by the patient: administration of oral mifepristone, followed 48 hours later by oral misoprostol in the health-care provider's office, and a follow-up visit in approximately 14 days. Clinical studies of alternative medical abortion regimens have been performed in multiple countries and are ongoing. * The percentage of abortions known to be performed by curettage increased from 88% in 1973 to >96% since 1980, whereas the percentage of abortions performed by intrauterine instillation declined sharply, from 10% to <1% since 1989. The increase in use of D&E is likely attributable to the lower risk for complications associated with the procedure. The percentage of abortions performed by D&E (curettage) at >13 weeks' gestation increased from 31% in 1974 (the first year for which these data were available) to 96% in 2001, and the percentage of abortions performed by intrauterine instillation at >13 weeks' gestation decreased from 57% to 1.1%; the percentage of medical abortions increased from 1.0% in 2000 to 2.9% in 2001. <br> The differential between the abortion ratio for black women and that for white women increased from 2.0 in 1989 (the first year for which black and other races were reported separately) to 3.0 in 2001. In addition, the abortion rate for black women has been approximately three times as high as that for white women (range: 2.6--3.1) since 1991 (the first year for which rates by race were published). These rates by race are substantially lower than rates previously published by NCHS and indicate that the reporting areas for the 2001 report might not be truly representative of the U.S. black female population of reproductive age. Census Bureau estimates and birth certificate data indicate that a substantial majority of Hispanic women report themselves as white. Therefore, data for certain white women represent white women of Hispanic ethnicity. * In 2001, a total of 39 states, DC, and NYC reported Hispanic ethnicity of women who obtained abortions. Because of concerns regarding the completeness of such data (>15% unknown data) in certain states, in 2001, data from only 31 states and NYC were used to determine the number and percentage of abortions obtained by women of Hispanic ethnicity. These geographic areas represent approximately 44% of reproductive-age Hispanic women in the United States for 2001 and approximately 44% of U.S. Hispanic births. Thus, the number of Hispanic women who obtained abortions was underestimated, and the number, ratio, and rate of abortions for Hispanic women in this report are not generalizable to the overall Hispanic population in the United States. <br> Abortion ratios for both Hispanic and non-Hispanic women have declined considerably since 1992 (25% and 29%, respectively). As in the past, the abortion rate for Hispanic women was higher (22 per 1,000 women) than the rate for non-Hispanic women (14 per 1,000). This finding is consistent with those of other studies published previously by NCHS. The reporting areas for the 2001 report might not be fully representative of the U.S. Hispanic female population of reproductive age. Race- and ethnicity-specific differences in legal induced abortion ratios and rates might reflect differences among populations in socioeconomic status, access to family planning and contraceptive services, contraceptive use, and incidence of unintended pregnancies. <br> NCHS vital statistics reports indicate that fertility and live birth rates were substantially higher for Hispanic women as a whole than for non-Hispanic women for all age groups in 2001. However, because fertility and live birth rates differ substantially among both the different Hispanic (i.e., Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and other Hispanic) and non-Hispanic (white, black, and other) subpopulations, comparisons between Hispanic and non-Hispanic populations are of limited value. Available abortion surveillance data do not permit cross-classification of race by Hispanic ethnicity. * Despite efforts to collect and provide a cross-classification of race and ethnicity for this report in compliance with OMB Directive 15, which specifies federal standards for the collection of data on race and ethnicity, only 28 states (accounting for 39% of the total number of reported abortions) were able to provide adequate data for use of the recommended race categories. Because 11 states could not adequately break down the data by ethnicity, the racial breakdown was analyzed for all ethnicities. Moreover, three recommended racial categories (Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaskan Native) had to be combined into one category of "other" to accommodate overlapping categories provided by multiple states. For these reasons, no additional information about race or ethnicity was obtained as a result of attempts to cross-classify the data. * In 1972, a total of 24 women died from causes known to be associated with legal abortions, and 39 died as a result of known illegal abortions. In 2000, a total of 11 women died as a result of legal induced abortions, and none died as a result of illegal induced abortions. The number of legal induced abortion-related deaths identified for all 52 reporting areas for 2000 is similar to the numbers reported for the previous 24 years. However, national case-fatality rates for 1998--2000 cannot be calculated because a substantial number of abortions occurred in nonreporting states (four states in 1998 and 1999 and three states in 2000), and the total number of abortions (the denominator) is unknown. * A reduction in the number of unintended pregnancies, and thus in the number of abortions, will require adapting complex strategies. In a study of abortion patients conducted during 2000--2001, a total of 54% of patients reported that they were using contraception during the month they became pregnant. However, their use of contraception might have been inconsistent or incorrect (18). In 1995, the year for which the most recent National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) data are available, approximately 29% of sexually active U.S. women who used only oral contraceptives for birth control reported that they had missed a birth-control pill more than once during the 3 months before their NSFG interview. In addition, approximately 33% of U.S. women who were using only coitus-dependent contraceptive methods†† during the 3 months before the interview used these methods inconsistently. Coverage of reversible contraception has increased substantially since 1993 although gaps in coverage remain substantial. Education regarding abstinence and contraceptive use and practices, combined with access to and education regarding safe, effective, contraception and family planning services, might help reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy and, therefore, the number of legal induced abortions in the United States. === "Abortion surveillance – United States, 2003" (2006) === <small> Strauss, L.T.; Gamble, S.B.; Parker, W.Y.; Cook, D.A.; Zane, S.B.; Hamdan, S.; Centers for Disease Control Prevention (2006).

The abortion ratio, defined as the number of abortions per 1,000 live births, was 241 in 2003, a decrease from the 246 in 2002. The abortion rate was 16 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years for 2003, the same as for 2002. For the same 47 reporting areas, the abortion rate remained relatively constant during 1998--2003. During 2001--2002 (the most recent years for which data are available), 15 women died as a result of complications from known legal induced abortion. One death was associated with known illegal abortion. <br> The highest percentages of reported abortions were for women who were unmarried (82%), white (55%), and aged <25 years (51%). Of all abortions for which gestational age was reported, 61% were performed at <8 weeks' gestation and 88% at <13 weeks. From 1992 (when detailed data regarding early abortions were first collected) through 2002, steady increases have occurred in the percentage of abortions performed at <6 weeks' gestation, with a slight decline in 2003. A limited number of abortions were obtained at >15 weeks' gestation, including 4.2% at 16--20 weeks and 1.4% at >21 weeks. A total of 36 reporting areas submitted data documenting that they performed and enumerated medical (nonsurgical) procedures, making up 8.0% of all known reported procedures from the 45 areas with adequate reporting on type of procedure. * Public Health Action: Abortion surveillance in the United States continues to provide the data necessary for examining trends in numbers and characteristics of women who obtain legal induced abortions and to increase understanding of this pregnancy outcome. Policymakers and program planners use these data to improve the health and well-being of women and infants. * Overall, the annual number of legal induced abortions in the United States increased gradually from 1973 to 1990 (peak point) and then generally declined thereafter. In 2003, a total of 848,163 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC by 49 reporting areas. This change represents a 0.7% decline from 2002, for which 49 areas reported 854,122 legal induced abortions. <br> The national legal induced abortion ratio increased from 196 per 1,000 live births in 1973 (the first year that 52 areas reported) to 358 per 1,000 in 1979 and remained nearly stable through 1981. The ratio peaked at 364 per 1,000 in 1984 and since then has demonstrated a generally steady decline. In 2003, the abortion ratio was 241 per 1,000 in 49 reporting areas and 243 for the same 47 reporting areas for which data were available since 1998. <br> The national legal induced abortion rate increased from 14 per 1,000 women aged 15--44 years in 1973 to 25 per 1,000 in 1980. The rate remained stable at 23--24 per 1,000 during the 1980s and early 1990s and at 20--21 per 1,000 during 1994--1997. The abortion rate remained unchanged at 17 per 1,000 during 1998--1999 and at 16 per 1,000 during 2000--2002, both overall and in the same 47 reporting areas. In 2003, the abortion rate remained unchanged overall at 16 per 1,000 and decreased to 15 per 1,000 in the 47 reporting areas. * Women aged 20--24 years obtained 33% of all abortions for which age was adequately reported. Adolescents aged <15 years obtained <1.0% of all abortions in the 48 areas that reported age. Among the 48 reporting areas, age was not reported for 0.6% of patients; however, this percentage ranged from 0 (in 19 areas) to 4.6% (Nevada). Abortion ratios were highest for adolescents aged <15 years (830 per 1,000 live births) and lowest for women aged 30--34 years (144 per 1,000). In contrast to abortion ratios, among females for whom age was reported, abortion rates were highest for women aged 20--24 years (31 per 1,000 women) and lowest for females at the extremes of reproductive age (1 per 1,000 adolescents aged 13--14 years and 3 per 1,000 women aged 40--44 years). Among women aged <20 years (46 reporting areas), the percentage of abortions obtained increased with age; the abortion ratio, however, was highest for adolescents aged <15 years§ (828 per 1,000 live births) and lowest for women aged 19 years (328 per 1,000). Conversely, the rates of abortions were lowest (1 per 1,000) for adolescents aged <15 years and highest (27 per 1,000) for women aged 19 years. * A total of 848,163 legal induced abortions were reported in the United States for 2003 from 47 states, DC, and NYC, which reflects a decline of 0.7% from the number of legal induced abortions reported for 2002. After five previous annual decreases, a slight increase of 0.1% in the number of abortions occurred in 2002, with another decline of 0.7% in 2003, also apparent when the same 47 reporting areas that reported for all years, 1998--2003, are compared with those that reported for 2001--2003. Before 1998, a substantial number of legal induced abortions were estimated to have been performed in California (e.g., >23% of the U.S. total in 1997). Beginning in 1998, data were no longer estimated for nonreporting states. The lack of data for California for 2003 largely explains the majority of the 28% decrease from the annual number of abortions reported for 1997 and part of the decrease in the total ratio and rate. <br> Overall, abortion ratios and abortion rates have declined over time until 2002. The abortion ratio for 2003 (241 per 1,000 live births for 49 reporting areas) decreased from the previous year's ratio of 246. For the same reporting areas as 2000--2002, the abortion rate for women aged 15--44 years (16 per 1,000 women) remained identical to the rate reported since 2000 and then was 15 per 1,000 women for 2003. The overall declines in the reported abortion ratio and rate over time might reflect multiple factors, including a decrease in the number of unintended pregnancies; a shift in the age distribution of women toward the older and less fertile ages; reduced or limited access to abortion services, including the passage of abortion laws that affect adolescents (e.g., parental consent or notification laws and mandatory waiting periods); and changes in contraceptive practices, including increased use of contraceptives (e.g., condoms and, among young women, increased use of long-acting hormonal contraceptive methods that were introduced in the early 1990s). <br> The findings in this report indicated that the abortion rate for the United States was higher than recent rates reported for Canada and Western European countries. Lower rates were reported for China, Cuba, the majority of Eastern European countries, and certain Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union. * The percentage distribution of abortions by known weeks of gestation has shifted slightly since the late 1970s. From 1992 (when detailed data on early abortions were first available) through 2002, data have indicated steady increases in procedures performed at <6 weeks' gestation, with a minimal increase in 2003. Data have also indicated decreases in the percentage of abortions performed at 8 and 9--10 weeks' and for 11--12 weeks' gestation from 1992 through 2002, with a slight increase in 2003. The increase in the percentage of abortions known to have been performed at <6 weeks' gestation might be related to an increase in the availability of early abortion services since 1992 and an increase in medical and surgical procedures that can be performed early in gestation. Abortions performed early in pregnancy are associated with lower risks of mortality and morbidity. The proportions of abortions performed later in pregnancy (>13 weeks) have varied minimally since 1992. The gestational age at which an abortion is obtained can be influenced by multiple factors in addition to those for which surveillance data are available (i.e., age, race, and ethnicity). These additional factors include level of education, availability and accessibility of abortion services, timing of confirmation of pregnancy, timing of personal decision-making, timing of prenatal diagnosis, level of fear of discovery of pregnancy, and denial of pregnancy. * The percentage of abortions known to be performed by curettage increased from 88% in 1973 to >96% from 1980--2001 and then decreased to 90% in 2003, whereas the percentage of abortions performed by intrauterine instillation declined sharply, from 10% to <1% since 1989. The increase in use of curettage at >13 weeks' gestation is likely attributable to the lower risk for complications associated with the procedure. The percentage of abortions performed by curettage at >13 weeks' gestation (D&E) increased from 31% in 1974 (the first year for which these data were available) to 97% in 2003, and the percentage of abortions performed by intrauterine instillation at >13 weeks' gestation decreased from 57% to 0.6%; the percentage of medical abortions increased from 1.0% in 2000 to 7.7% in 2003. * Compared with the early 1970s, the annual number of deaths associated with known legal induced abortion in the early 2000s has decreased by approximately two thirds. In 1972, a total of 24 women died from causes known to be associated with legal abortions, and 39 died as a result of known illegal abortions. No more than two deaths have occurred as a result of known illegal abortion in any year since 1979. In 2002, nine women died as a result of legal induced abortion, and none died as a result of illegal induced abortion. National case-fatality rates for 1998--2002 cannot be calculated because a substantial number of the abortions occurred in nonreporting states (four states in 1998 and 1999 and three states in 2000, 2001, and 2002), and, therefore, the total number of abortions (the denominator) is unknown. * [F]indings from ongoing national surveillance of legal induced abortion are useful for at least six purposes. First, public health agencies use data from abortion surveillance to identify characteristics of women who are at high risk for unintended pregnancy. Second, ongoing annual surveillance is used to monitor trends in the number, ratio, and rate of abortions in the United States. Third, statistics regarding the number of pregnancies ending in abortion are used in conjunction with birth data and fetal death computations to estimate pregnancy rates (e.g., pregnancy rates among adolescents). Fourth, abortion and pregnancy rates can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of family planning programs and programs for preventing unintended pregnancy. Fifth, ongoing surveillance provides data for assessing changes in clinical practice patterns related to abortion (e.g., longitudinal changes in the types of procedures and trends in weeks of gestation at the time of abortion). Finally, numbers of abortions are used as the denominator in calculating abortion mortality rates (35). * More than one in five U.S. pregnancies have ended in abortion, according to a national sample survey conducted by AGI during 2001--2002 among all known U.S. abortion providers. Inconsistent method use of the pill (75.9%) or condoms (49.3%) were the most common reason for unintended pregnancy reported by women obtained abortions. Unintended pregnancy is a pervasive public health problem for all population subgroups and women of reproductive age. === "Alabama House passes bill that would make abortion a felony"( May 2, 2019) === <small> Stracqualursi, Veronica (May 1, 2019). [https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/01/politics/alabama-house-abortion-bill/index.html "Alabama House passes bill that would make abortion a felony"]. CNN. Retrieved May 2, 2019. </small> * The Alabama House, with an eye on challenging the US Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, has passed a bill that, if signed into law, would criminalize abortion. <br> HB 314, which passed the GOP-controlled House on Tuesday in a 74-3 vote, would make abortion a Class A felony, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 99 years, and attempted abortion a Class C felony, which holds a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. <br> All Republicans voted in favor of the bill, except for two who didn’t vote. Nearly all Democratic House members chose not to vote, walking out of the House chamber in protest. <br> Republican state Rep. Terri Collins, the bill’s sponsor, said when she introduced the bill last month that the measure would provide “a vehicle to revisit the constitutionally-flawed Roe v. Wade decision,” WKRG reported. * Assistant Minority Leader Merika Coleman, who is also a Democrat, proposed an amendment that would use the salaries of Alabama lawmakers who vote in favor of HB 314 to foot the bill for any costs and expenses incurred by the state related to any legal challenge. <br> “Roe v. Wade is the supreme law of the land. Because it is, we already know that this piece of legislation is going to be deemed unconstitutional,” Coleman said in a press conference on Tuesday. * Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh, who is a Republican, said last week that he’s always held the “position on any pro-life bill that you have to take consideration of rape, incest and the health of the mother,” the Montgomery Advertiser reported. <br> “I’ve got a little bit of a problem and I want to talk to the sponsor and understand where this direction is,” Marsh said, according to the newspaper. * The American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama said it hopes the Senate will be “more reasonable” and not pass the bill, but made clear it intends to sue if the bill progresses. <br> “We are disappointed that the Alabama House passed HB314 despite the fact it would criminalize abortion and interfere with a woman’s personal, private medical decisions,” the group said in a statement. <br> “It is unfortunate that members of the House are putting their personal beliefs ahead of what’s in the best interest of our state. The people of Alabama are paying the bill for unconstitutional legislation and we hope that the Senate members will realize its detrimental impact and stop this bill from becoming law. Otherwise it will be challenged in federal court.” === "Abortion Reform in Washington State - HistoryLink.org" === <small> Cassandra Tate, [https://www.historylink.org/File/5313 "Abortion Reform in Washington State - HistoryLink.org"]. www.historylink.org. </small> * On November 3, 1970, Washington voters approved Referendum 20, which legalized abortion in the early months of pregnancy. Fifteen other states had liberalized their abortion laws by that time, but Washington was the first -- and so far the only -- state to do so through a vote of the people. It was a triumphant moment in a campaign that had its genesis in 1967, in the office of Seattle psychologist Samuel Goldenberg (1921-2011), who had been asked to help two patients, one middle-aged and the other a young college student, both desperate for a way to end an unwanted pregnancy. * The options available to women seeking abortions in Washington in the late 1960s were limited. Well-connected women could obtain legal, “therapeutic” abortions by convincing a hospital committee of physicians that the procedure was medically necessary. Wealthy women could travel to a foreign country where abortion was legal. One Seattle travel agency specialized in arranging trips to Japan, where, for $1,000, a woman could obtain a safe, legal abortion, in a four-day stay that included one day for sightseeing. Less fortunate women could try to access an underground network of people willing to perform illegal abortions. The lucky might be referred to a skilled physician, such as Dr. A. Frans Koome of Renton, who thought the existing law was unfair and was willing to defy it. The unlucky might end up like Raisa Trytiak, a 24-year-old Seattle woman who was strangled and left in a garbage dump after a botched abortion on February 7, 1967. * Until the late nineteenth century, no state restricted the termination of pregnancy before “quickening,” the point at which a pregnant woman can feel the movements of the fetus (approximately the fourth month of pregnancy). The legal attitudes toward pregnancy and abortion were based on an understanding of human development as a process rather than an absolute moment. What would be defined today as an early induced abortion was not even called abortion then; it was said instead that a pregnancy had “slipped away,” or that the woman’s menses had been “restored” (Reagan, 8). <br> The Washington Territorial Legislature adopted its first abortion-related statute in 1854. The law made it illegal to “administer to any woman pregnant with a quick child any medicine, drug, or substance whatever; or use or employ any instrument or other means with intent to destroy such child, unless the same shall have been necessary to preserve the life of such mother” (Sec. 37, p. 81, Laws of Washington, 1854). The law was revised slightly in 1869, 1873, and 1881, but the stipulation about quickening was not removed until 1909. In that year, a new law made it a crime for anyone, including the prospective mother, to terminate any pregnancy unless necessary to save the life of the mother (Chap. 249, Session Laws, 1909). * The fact that abortions were illegal does not mean they were not performed, by licensed physicians as well as by illegal abortionists. Surveys of middle-class women in several states in the late 1920s showed that 10 to 20 percent had had abortions. A study of 10,000 working-class clients of Margaret Sanger’s birth control clinics during the same period found that 20 percent of all pregnancies had been intentionally aborted. Historians agree that throughout the 1920s and 1930s abortions were relatively easy to obtain despite the laws. <br> After [[World War II]], however, new steps were taken to repress the practice. Hospitals formed therapeutic abortion committees, which limited the number of abortions performed under legal protection. The number of police raids on so-called “abortion mills” increased, and the targets were broadened to include competent abortionists as well as those who killed their patients. * Nearly all of the women who received safe, legal abortions in hospitals were white women with private health insurance. Desperate women resorted to so-called “kitchen table” or “back alley” abortions, although Reagan cautions that “The proverbial ‘back-alley butcher’ story of abortion overemphasizes the fatalities and limits our understanding of the history of illegal abortion” (Reagan, 133). Still, reports about women who died or suffered debilitating injuries as a result of bungled abortions contributed to the campaign to liberalize the laws. In Seattle, for example, support for reform began to coalesce after the death of Raisa Trytiak was reported in the local press. * Abortion, it’s been said, “is as ancient as sex, reproduction, and the triumph of hope over experience” (Risen and Thomas, 6). It has also become almost a perennial issue in the Legislature, with activists — now identified by the labels “pro-choice” or “pro-life” — regularly facing off in increasingly polarized debate. <br> Washington voters have expressed their sentiments on the issue several times since 1970, most recently by approving Initiative 120 in 1991. In contrast to Referendum 20, which simply amended an existing law, Initiative 120 repealed the law and replaced it with one that declares that “every individual possesses a fundamental right of privacy with respect to personal reproductive decisions” (Revised Code of Washington, chap. 9.02, Initiative Measure No. 120, 1991). Perhaps in a reflection of the deepening divisions about the issue of abortion, the initiative passed with a much slimmer margin of approval than did Referendum 20, squeaking by with an edge of only 4,222 votes out of 1,509,402 cast. === "Anti-abortion law spreads in East Texas as "sanctuary city for the unborn" movement expands" (October 1, 2019) === <small> Emily Wax-Thibodeaux (October 1, 2019). [https://www.texastribune.org/2019/10/01/antiabortion-law-spreads-east-texas/ "Anti-abortion law spreads in East Texas as "sanctuary city for the unborn" movement expands"]. The Texas Tribune. </small> * Labeling it “murder with malice,” a growing number of town councils have been passing abortion bans and declaring themselves “sanctuary cities for the unborn.” Five towns have adopted the restrictive ordinance, which outlaws emergency contraception such as Plan B, criminalizes reproductive rights groups and fines doctors $2,000 for performing the procedure. A sixth East Texas town has adopted a more lenient version of the ordinance. <br> The activist behind the movement, Mark Lee Dickson, said he and anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life plan to travel to more than 400 Texas municipalities to pitch the ban. <br> “This is a local issue because it impacts the most vulnerable — the unborn child,” Dickson said. “If we could do this in Texas, we can do this in cities and towns in Arizona, in Florida, in Iowa. It could happen all over the country.” * None of the new “sanctuary cities” — most with populations under 3,000 — have abortion clinics, but Dickson’s goal is to prevent health centers that perform the procedure from moving into Waskom, Joaquin and other towns that adopt the restriction. Dickson also hopes to attract a legal challenge that forces the Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade. * The Austin City Council last month approved $150,000 for transportation, hotels and other costs for women seeking abortions, particularly those living in towns known as “abortion deserts,” places at least 100 miles away from an abortion facility. <br> “The right to an abortion is meaningless if it is not accessible,” said Aimee Arrambide, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas. The anti-abortion “ordinances are unconstitutional and illegal and meant to confuse people.” * On his website, Dickson labels Austin a “city of death.” <br> “Austin is going in the complete opposite direction of what we are doing,” said Dickson, 34. “I think it’s amazing that little ol’ Waskom is on the lips of the people of Austin. It’s time for the smaller cities to start impacting the bigger.” * An all-male council voted in June to make Waskom the first city to adopt the ordinance, which forbids Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas and other “criminal organizations” that offer or assist in obtaining abortions from operating in the city. It declares that providing money, transportation or other aid to a person for an abortion is unlawful, and it allows would-be relatives of the unborn to sue those who do. <br> The ordinance is only criminally enforceable if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. But in civil cases, Dickson said, local courts could enforce the ordinance in a lawsuit against someone who provides emergency contraception or performs an abortion in the town limits. <br> “This is a gray area,” said Greg Hutson, city manager of Gilmer, the most recent town to adopt the abortion ban. “This part could well be the vehicle that challenges Roe v. Wade.” * Waskom, a town of about 2,200, sits on the Louisiana border, with the nearest abortion clinic about 20 miles away in Shreveport. Dickson, who calls abortion clinics the “extermination camps of our day,” describes himself as “a fixture” at the clinic, where he tries to convince women to “stop the murder of your child.” If a woman agrees, he takes her for a meal and buys a “heartbeat bear,” which plays a recording of the vibrations that become a heartbeat. <br> Dickson, pastor of Sovereign Love Church in Longview, also keeps a bear for himself, which he carries to town council meetings. Sporting a beard and a backward baseball cap, he plays the bear’s “whump, whump” recording for town leaders and makes the case for his abortion ban. * “The majority of us don’t want the blood of these babies on our hands,” said Deborah Ramsey, Republican chair for Morris County, where the Omaha City Council unanimously passed the ordinance Sept. 9. The neighboring town of Naples did the same in a 5-to-1 vote. <br> “If we have to do it a town at a time, that’s the way we are going to do it,” Ramsey said. <br> The lone dissenting vote in Naples came from Councilman Danny Mills, who said he doesn’t support abortion personally but thinks it should remain a personal choice. <br> Mills, who served several terms as mayor, said he felt blindsided by the ordinance and didn’t like Dickson’s “theatrics” of the heartbeat bears. <br> “He came into our town out of the clear blue sky,” Mills said in a phone interview. “I just couldn’t see draining this tiny town’s mayor and police tending to somebody else’s private business to get an abortion.” * As Dickson has expanded the movement outside of East Texas and into larger towns, the ordinance has encountered more hurdles, including town attorneys concerned about potential legal fees. <br> In Mineral Wells, a city of 15,000 people about 80 miles west of Dallas, the council voted 5 to 2 against acting on the ordinance in July, at the recommendation of the city’s legal staff. <br> Most recently, the town of Gilmer — population 5,000 — voted 4 to 1 to adopt the ordinance, but only after removing several provisions, including the ban on emergency contraception and language that criminalized reproductive rights groups and classified abortion as murder. <br> Instead of using the phrase “sanctuary city for the unborn,” the council is calling its town “a safe haven for the unborn,” said Hutson, the Gilmer city manager. <br> “Portions of his ordinance are inflammatory, throwing gasoline on the fire,” said Hutson, who added that he’s been unsettled by residents’ hateful discord over the ordinance online. “We are a pro-life town. But for the sake of the country, the two sides have to come together and learn to talk about this in a kind way.” * Many of the town ordinances do not make exceptions for rape or incest, but all allow an abortion if the pregnancy “places the woman in danger of death or a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function.” And while they target anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion within city limits, the ordinance holds that “no punishment shall be imposed upon the mother of the pre-born child.” <br> There have been no legal challenges yet, though the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas said its lawyers are reviewing the ordinances, calling them “misguided attempts by small towns to encroach on fundamental constitutional rights of women.” <br> “We are keeping all options, including legal action, open as we investigate further,” said Imelda Mejia, communications coordinator for the organization. * Amanda Beatriz Williams, executive director of the Lilith Fund, which provides financial assistance to women seeking abortions, said the abortion-ban ordinance “is just an illegal and wacky strategy that shows the desperation of the anti-abortion movement.” <br> She attended a hearing in Austin at which Dickson played the teddy-bear heartbeats. His abortion-ban ordinance lists the Lilith Fund as a “criminal organization.” <br> “It’s really about shaming and manipulating women,” Williams said. “We will be fighting these bans in every town. We won’t stop.” === "Supreme Court Upholds Indiana Provision Mandating Fetal Burial or Cremation"(May 28, 2019) === <small> Totenberg, Nina; Montanaro, Domenico (May 28, 2019).

NPR. </small> * The Supreme Court is leaving in place part of an Indiana law that mandates that aborted fetuses be buried or cremated. <br> The court did not take up a second part of the law that banned abortions because of fetal abnormality, the fetus's race, sex or ancestry. A lower court struck down that part of the law in addition to the burial provision. The Supreme Court, though, said it will wait for other lower court rulings before weighing in on the fetal characteristics provision. <br> Vice President Pence signed the legislation when he was governor. * Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a 20-page, anti-abortion-rights concurrence, warning that by leaving in place a lower court decision that invalidated Indiana's law banning "discriminatory" abortions, the court was aiding and abetting the possibility of a modern eugenics movement. <br> "This case highlights the fact that abortion is an act rife with the potential for eugenic manipulation," he wrote. "From the beginning, birth control and abortion were promoted as means of effectuating eugenics." <br> He pointed to sky-high rates of abortion for fetuses in Iceland and Europe diagnosed in the womb with Down syndrome. <br> "Although the Court declines to wade into these issues today," Thomas concluded, "we cannot avoid them forever." * At issue is a Louisiana law that is nearly identical to a Texas law the court struck down just three years ago. The law requires doctors who perform abortions at clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. <br> In 2016, the court said that the same kind of provision in Texas did nothing to promote the health of women seeking abortions but did impose needless barriers on abortion providers, leading to half of them being forced to close their doors. === "Supreme Court Upholds New Texas Abortion Law, For Now" (September 2, 2021) === <small> Totenberg, Nina (September 2, 2021).

Retrieved September 2, 2021. </small> * The U.S. Supreme Court late Wednesday night refused to block a Texas law that amounts to a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The vote was 5-4, with three Trump-appointed justices joining two other conservative justices. Dissenting were conservative Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's three liberal justices. <br> The decision left open the option for abortion providers to challenge the Texas law in other ways in the future, meaning the case possibly — or even likely — will return to the Supreme Court, though not for months or longer. <br> The opinion was unsigned. It said the abortion providers didn't properly address "complex and novel antecedent procedural questions" in their case. <br> "In reaching this conclusion, we stress that we do not purport to resolve definitively any jurisdictional or substantive claim in the applicants' lawsuit," the decision said. "In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas's law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts." * The court's action came just before midnight on Wednesday, nearly a day after the law went into effect. Abortion rights advocates late last week filed an emergency appeal with the court after a panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals canceled a hearing that had been scheduled by a federal trial judge on whether to block the law. <br> Chief Justice Roberts, in dissent, said he would have temporarily blocked the law from going into effect in order to give the lower courts adequate time to hear and decide "whether a state can avoid responsibility for its laws" by "essentially delegat[ing] enforcement to...the populace at large." <br> The case, he acknowledged, does present difficult and novel questions, but none of those questions had been thoroughly considered yet by the lower courts. Nor, Roberts said, had the cases been fully briefed or considered by lower court judges. * President Biden on Thursday slammed the Supreme Court ruling, saying it "unleashes unconstitutional chaos." <br> In a statement, he said the White House would look for ways the federal government could ensure Texans have access to safe and legal abortions and to protect people from enforcement of the Texas law. <br> The Justice Department is "deeply concerned" about the law, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland, and is "evaluating all options to protect the constitutional rights of women, including access to an abortion." * House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed the lower chamber will take up legislation to codify access to abortion when lawmakers return later this month. But while the Women's Health Protection Act, which has been proposed during several legislative sessions, could have enough votes to win passage in the House, it faces a very uncertain future in the evenly divided Senate. <br> Still, Pelosi and others said the move was the next logical step. <br> "The Supreme Court's cowardly, dark-of-night decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on women's rights and health is staggering," Pelosi said. * Justice Breyer, citing the famous 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison, said that normally where a legal right is invaded, the law itself "provides a legal remedy by suit," and this law, he suggested, does the opposite. <br> Justice Kagan, in her written dissent, said "Texas's law delegates to private individuals the power to prevent a woman from obtaining an abortion during the first stage of pregnancy. But a woman has a federal constitutional right to obtain an abortion during that first stage," a right that the Supreme Court has endorsed repeatedly over nearly a half century. <br> Justice Sotomayor used bolder language than the three other dissenters did. <br> "The court's order is stunning," she wrote. "Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand. ... Because the court's failure to act rewards tactics designed to avoid judicial review and inflicts significant harm on the applicants and on women seeking abortions in Texas, I dissent." === "John Roberts sides with liberals on Supreme Court to block controversial Louisiana abortion law" (6/29/2020) === <small> Ariane de Vogue, Devan Cole and Caroline Kelly.[https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/29/politics/abortion-louisiana-law-blocked-supreme-court/index.html "John Roberts sides with liberals on Supreme Court to block controversial Louisiana abortion law"]. (6/29/2020), CNN. </small> * Washington (CNN)Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberal justices on the Supreme Court on Monday to block a controversial Louisiana abortion law that critics said would have closed nearly every clinic in the state. <br> The 5-4 ruling is a win for supporters of abortion rights who argued that the law was not medically necessary and amounted to a veiled attempt to restrict abortion. The law barred doctors from performing the procedure unless they had admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. <br> The majority opinion was penned by Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote that the majority "consequently hold that the Louisiana statute is unconstitutional." <br> Breyer added later: "The evidence also shows that opposition to abortion played a significant role in some hospitals' decisions to deny admitting privileges." * Roberts wrote a separate concurring opinion also citing the Texas law. <br> "The Louisiana law imposes a burden on access to abortion just as severe as that imposed by the Texas law, for the same reasons. Therefore Louisiana's law cannot stand under our precedents," the chief justice wrote. <br> In a dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas again said Roe should be revisited. <br> "Roe is grievously wrong for many reasons," Thomas wrote, "but the most fundamental is that its core holding -- that the Constitution protects a woman's right to abort her unborn child -- finds no support in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment." * White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany blasted the ruling as "unfortunate," and took aim at the justices who sided with the majority. <br> "Instead of valuing fundamental democratic principles, unelected Justices have intruded on the sovereign prerogatives of state governments by imposing their own policy preference in favor of abortion to override legitimate abortion safety regulations," McEnany said in a statement. * [W]hile Roberts struck down the law, in a concurring opinion the chief justice left open the door that other states might be able to pursue similar restrictions. <br> In a footnote, he said that the "validity of admitting privileges law depends on numerous factors that may differ from state to state." * CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law Stephen Vladeck said that Roberts suggested that he did not necessarily endorse the analysis of the 2016 decision, which focused as much on whether the restrictions actually provided benefits to pregnant women as on whether they imposed an undue burden. <br> "In the process, Vladeck said, "the chief justice's narrower opinion implies that states making different arguments in different cases might be able to justify similar restrictions going forward. In that respect, the chief justice may have sided with abortion supporters today, but their victory may be short-lived." * The Center for Reproductive Rights, which brought the case, addressed the looming possibility it allowed for further state regulations similar to Louisiana's in a statement Monday morning. <br> "We're relieved that the Louisiana law has been blocked today but we're concerned about tomorrow," said Nancy Northup, the group's president and CEO. <br> "(The) Court's decision could embolden states to pass even more restrictive laws when clarity is needed if abortion rights are to be protected," Northup said. * Jeanne Mancini, the president of March for Life, defended the Louisiana law as "designed to safeguard women's health and safety" and promised a strong showing from anti-abortion voters over the decision. <br> "No abortion facility should receive a free pass to provide substandard care," she added. "This decision underscores the importance of nominating and confirming judges who refrain from legislating from the bench, something pro-life voters will certainly remember come November." * Louisiana's Unsafe Abortion Protection Act, is an effort, state officials argued, to "improve abortion safety by means of doctor credentialing." <br> Louisiana Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Murrill said that clinics in the state have a "long disturbing" history of serious health and safety problems, that abortion carries "known risks for serious complications," although it is largely considered a safe procedure, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted during oral arguments, and that the act would bring abortion practice "into conformity" with the privilege requirements for doctors performing other outpatient surgeries. The penalty for violating the law is not more than $4,000 per violation. <br> The Trump administration sided with Louisiana. The law "would not create a substantial obstacle to obtaining an abortion for a large fraction of Louisiana women seeking one -- let alone all such women," Principal Deputy Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall argued in court. <br> The claims were rejected by lawyers for the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represented two doctors and an abortion clinic in the state who claimed that if the law had been able to go into effect when it passed, it would have forced the closure of two of the state's three remaining clinics and left only one doctor with the ability to provide abortions. * Louisiana also argued that the justices shouldn't consider the constitutionality of the law because the doctors and the clinics bringing the case don't have the legal right -- or "standing" -- to be in court. Murrill said that Louisiana women can challenge abortion regulations if they wish to do so -- "as individual women have done in numerous other abortion cases across the country" -- but that the clinics and doctors can't stand in their place. She said that's because the interests of a for-profit business that provides medical services for a fee might not align with those of patients seeking abortions. <br> Julie Rikelman, an attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, rejected the notion that only women seeking abortions could challenge the law in court, noting that a woman would have only a narrow time frame to bring such a suit and such litigation often lasts for years. * "Instead of demonstrating an undue burden on a large fraction of women," the appeals court said, the law "at most shows an insubstantial burden on a small fraction of women." === "Texas 6-week abortion ban takes effect after Supreme Court inaction" (September 1, 2021) === <small> De Vogue, Ariane (September 1, 2021).

Wade be enforced for at least some period of time." * Under the Texas law, abortion is prohibited when a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is often before a woman knows she is pregnant. There is no exception for rape or incest, although there is an exemption for "medical emergencies." <br> Abortion providers asked the justices to block the ban while legal challenges played out because they argued that if it were allowed to go into effect it would "immediately and catastrophically reduce abortion access in Texas," ultimately forcing many abortion clinics to close. <br> They argued if the law were allowed to take effect it would have the impact of "barring care for at least 85% of Texas abortion patients" and would mean that lawsuits could be filed against a broad range of people including a person who drives their friend to obtain an abortion, someone who provides financial assistance and even to a member of the clergy who assists a patient. * "The Texas law will significantly impair women's access to the health care they need, particularly for communities of color and individuals with low incomes," Biden said in a statement Wednesday. <br> "My administration is deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade nearly five decades ago and will protect and defend that right," he added. * Abortion access had already been curtailed by the ban by the time Wednesday morning rolled around. Whole Woman's Health -- which operates clinics in McAllen, McKinney, Austin, and Fort Worth, and led the federal lawsuit challenging the ban -- said that it was only offering the procedure if "if no embryonic or fetal cardiac activity is detected in the sonogram." <br> Tuesday night, two hours before the ban was set to go into effect, one of the clinics -- Whole Woman's Health -- reported that it was providing abortions. "Our waiting rooms are filled with patients," the clinic tweeted, adding that "anti-abortion protestors are outside, shining lights on the parking ...we are under surveillance." In another tweet, the clinic said, "This is what abortion care looks like. Human Rights warriors." * The Supreme Court's failure to respond prompted a furious backlash from supporters of abortion rights just after the law went into effect. <br> "Access to almost all abortion has just been cut off for millions of people, the impact will be immediate and devastating," the ACLU said in a tweet. * Opponents say the law is part of a new wave of laws put forward by states hostile to abortion rights and will inspire other states to follow suit. <br> Lawyers for Texas officials urged the justices to allow the law to go into effect, saying that the clinics had not shown that they will be "personally harmed by a bill that may never be enforced against them." * The clinics initially filed suit not only against Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, but state judges and clerks in Texas with the jurisdiction to enforce the law. They also targeted Mark Lee Dickson who serves as the director of Right to Life East Texas. <br> In briefs, the providers said that patients "who can scrape together resources" will be forced to attempt to leave the state, and others will be forced to "remain pregnant against their will." === "Three Texas towns vote in favor of 'sanctuary cities for the unborn,' hoping to ban abortion" (January 15, 2020) === <small> Walters, Edgar (January 15, 2020).

The ordinance aims to outlaw abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court makes it possible to do so. It also grants family members of women who have abortions the ability to sue the provider for emotional distress. <br> Big Spring’s vote was tentative; a majority of city council members will need to vote once more in favor of the ordinance for it to pass. Colorado City’s vote, which also banned the sale of emergency contraception such as Plan B, was final, making it the eighth local government with such an ordinance in effect, according to the anti-abortion group pushing them. The East Texas town of Rusk approved a similar ordinance last week. <br> The ordinances are of contested legality and enforceability. The American Civil Liberties Union has said it is investigating a possible lawsuit seeking to strike them down. Three towns — Mineral Wells, Omaha and Jacksboro — have voted down similar ordinances or walked them back under advice from city attorneys. * “We have every intention of targeting every part of the state,” said Dickson, who said he is traveling to Levelland this week in hopes of persuading the town west of Lubbock to adopt a similar ordinance. “Every city, no matter what size, is valuable.” <br> Abortion rights advocates say the local ordinances are dangerous and intentionally confusing because they may lead people to believe, falsely, that abortion is illegal. <br> The strategy of bringing the abortion fight to the local level has divided even the staunchest anti-abortion activists. Some groups, including the Texas Alliance for Life, have warned against taking an inflammatory approach that is unlikely to survive a legal contest and could set the anti-abortion movement back in court. * [T]he ordinances, which do not make exceptions for rape or incest, immediately allow “any surviving relative of the aborted unborn child” to sue a person in civil court for performing an abortion within the towns where they were passed. In some towns, a person could also be sued for transporting a woman to an abortion clinic or helping pay for the procedure, though local officials have said that language is largely symbolic and would be difficult to enforce. <br> None of the “sanctuary cities for the unborn” is home to an abortion clinic, and the number of clinics in Texas has plummeted in recent years thanks to increasing restrictions on abortion rights imposed by the Texas Legislature. === “Survey finds 52% majority favor abortion in most circumstances, down markedly from 1990s; Stark partisan split remains” (January 23, 2006) === <small> Zogby International, “Survey finds 52% majority favor abortion in most circumstances, down markedly from 1990s; Stark partisan split remains”, (January 23, 2006); [https://web.archive.org/web/20080603220555/http:/www.zogby.com/search/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1060 Archived] June 3, 2008, at the Wayback Machine (archived from the original on June 3, 2008) </small> * The survey shows that 52% favor abortion, including 10% who saying they believe it should be available, but that the government should not pay for it. <br> Forty-three percent oppose abortion, though most of those believe there should be exceptions in the cases of rape, incest, or when the pregnancy posed a grave threat to the life of the mother. A total of 9% said they “always oppose” abortion. <br> Among women, 50% said they favored the availability of abortion in all cases, while another 8% said they favor its availability but do not want the government to pay for it. Thirty-eight percent of women said they opposed abortion outright, or with certain exceptions. Among men, 59% said they oppose abortion completely or with certain exceptions, while 35% said they favor it always. Another 12% said they favor it but do not want the government to pay for it. <br> “What’s striking to me is that the numbers were radically different ten years ago,” said John Zogby, President and CEO of Zogby International. “Ten years ago, maybe just seven or eight years ago, pro-choice forces were in the ascendancy and posted pro-choice numbers in the area of 65% to 68%.” * The Zogby survey highlights a dramatic partisan split on the question. While 74% of Democrats said they favor abortion the availability of in all circumstances, just 9% of Republicans feel the same way. And while 78% of Republicans oppose abortion either completely or with some exceptions, only 17% of Democrats agree. <br> Among independents, 45% said they always favor the right to an abortion. <br> Among Republicans, 77% said that “abortion destroys a human life and is manslaughter,” while 13% disagreed with that statement. Among Democrats, 15% believe that abortion destroys a human life and is manslaughter, and 70% disagreed. * The partisan divide over abortion is most dramatic when considering whether parents should be notified before a daughter’s abortion. While 88% of Republicans agree parents should know ahead of time, just 26% of Democrats agree. One in every two independents say parents should be told ahead of time. <br> The national split extends to the question about late-term abortion.

'''Go back into yourself and look.''' If you do not yet see yourself as beautiful, then be like a sculptor who, making a statue that is supposed to be beautiful, removes a part here and polishes a part there so that he makes the latter smooth and the former just right until he has given the statue a beautiful face. In the same way, you should remove superfluities and straighten things that are crooked, work on the things that are dark, making them bright, and not stop ‘working on your statue’ until the divine splendour of virtue shines in you, until you see ‘Self-Control enthroned on the holy seat’. ** 1.6.9 [[File:Aurora Australis Over the Tasman Sea from SouthWest National Park.jpg|thumb|right|And he laughs at other loves and is disdainful of the things he previously regarded as beautiful.]] * We must, then, ascend to the Good, which every soul desires. If someone, then, has seen it, he knows what I mean when I say how beautiful it is. For it is desired as good, and the desire is directed to it as this, though the attainment of it is for those who ascend upward and revert to it and who divest themselves of the garments they put on when they descended. It is just like those who ascend to partake of the sacred religious rites where there are acts of purification and the stripping off of the cloaks they had worn before they go inside naked. One proceeds in the ascent, passing by all that is alien to the god until one sees by oneself alone that which is itself alone uncorrupted, simple, and pure, that upon which everything depends, and in relation to which one looks and exists and lives and thinks. For it is the cause of life and intellect. And, then, if someone sees this, what pangs of love will he feel, what longings and, wanting to be united with it, how would he not be overcome with pleasure? For though it is possible for one who has not yet seen it to desire it as good, for one who has seen it, there is amazement and delight in beauty, and he is filled with pleasure and he undergoes a painless shock, loving with true love and piercing longing. '''And he laughs at other loves and is disdainful of the things he previously regarded as beautiful.''' ** 1.6.7.1–19 === Ennead II === * For the Difference in the intelligible world that produces the matter exists always. For this is the principle of matter, this and the first Motion. For this reason, Motion has been said to be Difference, since Motion and Difference were engendered together. The Motion and Difference that are proceeding from the first are indefinite, and they require the first to be made definite, and they are made definite when they have reverted to it. And matter, too, is previously indefinite insofar as it is different and not yet good and still unilluminated by the first. For if the light derives from the first, then what receives this light, prior to having received it, had always been without light, and it has light as something other than itself, if indeed the light derives from another. ** 2.4.5 [[File:Caspar David Friedrich - Wanderer above the sea of fog.jpg|thumb|right|I ask myself in bewilderment, how on earth did I ever come down here, and how ever did my soul come to be enclosed in a body, being such as it has revealed itself to be, even while in a body?]] === Ennead III === * Since Intellect is a kind of sight and a sight that is seeing, it will be [like] a potency which is actualized. So, there will be its matter and its form, thoughmatter here is intelligible. Besides, actual seeing, too, is twofold; '''before seeing it was one; then, the one became two and the two one.''' The completion and, in a way, perfecting of sight, then, comes from the sensible, but for the sight of Intellect it is the Good which completes it. ** 3.8.11 === Ennead IV === * Often, '''after waking up to myself from the body, that is, externalizing myself in relation to all other things, while entering into myself, I behold a beauty of wondrous quality, and believe then that I am most to be identified with my better part''', that I enjoy the best quality of life, and have become united with the divine and situated within it, actualizing myself at that level, and situating myself above all else in the intelligible world. Following on this repose within the divine, and descending from Intellect into acts of calculative reasoning, '''I ask myself in bewilderment, how on earth did I ever come down here, and how ever did my soul come to be enclosed in a body, being such as it has revealed itself to be, even while in a body?''' ** 4.8.1 === Ennead V === [[Image:Sphere and Ball.png|thumb|left|Let there be formed in your soul, then, '''the image of a luminous sphere having all things in it''', whether moving or stable, or some moving and some stable.

Keeping this image, take another for yourself by abstracting the mass from it. Abstract, too, places and the semblance of the matter you have in yourself. Don’t try to take another sphere smaller than it in mass, but call on the god who made that of which you have a semblance, and pray for him to come. And he might come bearing his cosmos with all of the gods in it, being one and all of them, and each is all coming together as one, each with different powers, though all are one by that multiple single power. '''Rather, it is that one god who is all.''' For he lacks nothing, if all those gods should become what they are. They are all together and each is separate, again, in indivisible rest, having no sensible shape – for if they had, one would be in one place, and one in another, and each would not have all in himself. Nor do they have different parts in different places, nor all in the identical place, nor is each whole like a power fragmented, being quantifiable, like measured parts. It is rather all power, extending without limit, being unlimited in power. And in this way, the god is great, as the parts of it are all unlimited. For where could one say that he is not already present? ** 5.8.9 * In fact, one must not try to discover where it comes from. For there is not any ‘where’; it neither comes from nor goes anywhere, it both appears and does not appear. For this reason, '''it is necessary not to pursue it, but to remain in stillness, until it should appear, preparing oneself to be a contemplator, just like the eye awaits the rising sun.''' The sun rising over the horizon – the poets say ‘from Ocean’ – gives itself to be seen with the eyes. ** 5.5.8 === Ennead VI === [[File:JUL Soul Iris.png|thumb|right|One has come to belong to the Good, and has become one, like a centre touching a centre point.]] [[File:David von Michelangelo.jpg|thumb|right|It is like someone who enters the inner sanctum and leaves behind the statues of the gods in the temple.]] [[File:Laudtee Meenikunnos.jpg|thumb|right|If one moves from oneself, as from the image to the archetype, then he reaches ‘journey’s end’.]] * '''It is like someone who enters the inner sanctum and leaves behind the statues of the gods in the temple.''' And these are the first things one sees on leaving the inner sanctum after the vision within. The intimate contact within is not with a statue or an image, but with the One itself. The statue and the image are actually secondary visions, whereas the One itself is indeed not a vision, but another manner of seeing. It is self-transcendence, simplification, and surrender, an urging towards touch, a resting, concentration on alignment, if one is to have a vision of what is in the sanctum. ** 6.9.11 * If, then, one sees oneself having become this, then one has himself as a likeness of that; '''and if one moves from oneself, as from the image to the archetype, then he reaches ‘journey’s end’.''' And when one drops out of the vision, then one wakens virtue in oneself again; and seeing oneself ordered by virtues one is again uplifted by virtue, in the direction of intellect, and wisdom; and through wisdom, towards oneself. '''This is the way of life of gods, and divine, happy human beings, the release from everything here, a way of life that takes no pleasure in things here, the refuge of a solitary in the solitary.''' ** 6.9.11 * For at the time [of union], the seeing self neither sees nor discerns, nor imagines two things, but has, in a way, become another, and not oneself, nor does one belong to oneself in the intelligible world. '''One has come to belong to the Good, and has become one, like a centre touching a centre point.''' In the sensible world, too, when the circles come together they are one, but when they separate they are two. This is what we mean now when we say ‘different’. For this reason, the vision is hard to make out. For how can someone report that he has seen something different, when he did not see something different in the intelligible world when he had his vision, but rather something united to himself? ** 6.9.10 == See also == * [[:Category:Works by Plato|Works by Plato]] == External links == {{wikipedia}} {{wikisource}} [[Category:Philosophical works]] [[Category:Ancient Greek texts]] owoqrs5cnf5pb8hky0viok0pv9b0pkd 3147990 3147981 2022-07-27T03:23:46Z Florificapis 3107310 the One wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} [[File:Plotinos.jpg|thumb|right|[[Plotinus]], the author of the ''Enneads'']] The '''''[[w:Enneads|Enneads]]''''' form the foundational textual collection of [[w:Neoplatonism|Neoplatonism]].

And it allows the government to monitor my whereabouts on a 24/7 basis. I mean, the fundamental issue here is [[W:Chevron Corporation|Chevron]] destroyed the Ecuadorian Amazon, and I was part of a legal team that held the company accountable. The decision in Ecuador has been affirmed by multiple appellate courts in Ecuador and Canada. What Chevron did is, rather than pay the judgment that it owes to the thousands of people in Ecuador that it poisoned, it’s gone after me and other lawyers. And in the United States, Chevron sued me for $60 billion, which is the largest potential personal liability in the history of our country.<BR>Chevron then launched a campaign to really try to drive me out of the case. And as part of their strategy, t'''hey demanded to see my confidential communications with my clients, including everything on my cellphone and computer. And when I appealed that to the higher court here in New York, while the appeal was pending, [[W:Lewis A. Kaplan|Judge Kaplan]] charged me with criminal contempt of court for not complying with the order while the lawfulness of the order was under appeal. He then had me locked up in my home.''' **[https://www.democracynow.org/2021/3/15/steven_donziger_house_arrest_chevron U.S. Lawyer Steven Donziger Speaks from House Arrest in NYC After Suing Chevron for Amazon Oil Spills, ''Democracy Now!''] March 15, 2021 *So, what’s really happening here is, '''[[W:Chevron Corporation|Chevron]]and its allies have used the judiciary to try to attack the very idea of corporate [[accountability]] and environmental justice work that leads to significant judgments.

All with the express purpose by [[W:Chevron Corporation|Chevron]] to demonize me, rather than pay the Ecuador judgment that the company owes to the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon... <BR>A'''s the case was coming to an end in Ecuador, Chevron's lawyers and executives made it clear they would never pay the judgment. They sold their assets in Ecuador, so the Ecuadorians would have nothing to collect.''' They threatened the Indigenous peoples with “a lifetime of litigation” if they didn't drop their case. They also started to attack Ecuador's judicial system... Chevron knew that the evidence against them was overwhelming, and they were going to lose the Ecuador case. <BR>So they tried to come up with a strategy to block enforcement of the Ecuador judgment against their assets in other countries. To do that, they needed to somehow allege that the judgment in Ecuador was the product of fraud. The way they did that is t'''hey paid a former Ecuadoran judge, moved his family to the United States, paid his income taxes. Their lawyers coached him for 53 days. And ultimately he came into federal court and testified I approved the bribe of a trial judge in Ecuador.... He has recanted most of his testimony. He's admitted that he has repeatedly lied in U.S. federal court. He admitted under oath.

Human Rights Council, said that it was "appalled by uncontested allegations in this case," noting that the U.S. government did not respond to its request for input... the working group called on the U.S. government to "take the steps necessary to remedy the situation of Mr. Steven Donziger without delay and bring it in conformity with the relevant international norms, including those set out in the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]] and the [[w:International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights|International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]]. **[https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/09/30/appalled-un-human-rights-experts-urge-immediate-release-compensation-steven-donziger Appalled' UN Human Rights Experts Urge Immediate Release, Compensation for Steven Donziger, Jessica Corbett, ''Common Dreams''] September 30, 2021 *Steven Donziger has been under house arrest for over 580 days, awaiting trial on a misdemeanor charge.

The oil giant and two federal judges in New York are apparently in a de facto alliance to persecute Donziger, who in 2013 helped win a landmark $9.5 billion legal victory against the company for polluting vast stretches of rain forest in Ecuador... Federal Judge [[w:Loretta Preska|Loretta Preska]], who has already kept Donziger under huse arrest in New York City for the past 10 months, on May 18 refused his request to relax his confinement before his trial for contempt, which will not start until September 9. Donziger’s attorney had asked Preska to allow him out of his Upper West Side apartment for three hours a day. Preska said no. She repeated her preposterous claim that Donziger could be a flight risk, saying, “I could be to the airport and on an airplane in three hours.” Donziger lives with his wife and 13-year-old son. He has already surrendered his passport. **[https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/chevron-persecution-steven-donziger/ Chevron Tightens the Screws on Steven Donziger, By James North, ''The Nation''], May 28, 2020 * What’s disgraceful is that the maximum jail sentence that Donziger would face if he’s found guilty of contempt is six months—less than half the time he will have already spent locked up... It is this kind of questionable conduct from the federal bench that prompted Frisch to file an emergency motion on May 11 at the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit accusing Preska and Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who has pursued Donziger since 2011, with “abuses of power and discretion.” Donziger’s supporters argue that Chevron’s own lawyers are collaborating in the effort to persecute him. **[https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/chevron-persecution-steven-donziger/ Chevron Tightens the Screws on Steven Donziger, By James North, ''The Nation''], May 28, 2020 *bI have never seen anything like this attempt to destroy Steven Donziger.

The plot revolves around the crew of the US Navy destroyer ''USS Nathan James'' as they struggle to survive in a pandemic-hit world. == Season 1 == === ''Phase Six'' [1.1] === :''[Commander Chandler is livid that Dr Scott has not been honest about her work in the Arctic despite having fought off an attack by Russian forces]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': ''[grabs Scott's biosamples case]'' I swear to God, I will throw this overboard! I want answers! :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': You want answers? Seven months ago, outside Cairo, there was an outbreak-- a virus of unknown origin. Its genetic structure was like nothing any of us had ever seen. It swept throughout the village, killing everyone that it infected. Egyptian officials claimed the outbreak was contained, but it wasn't. Instead, it continued to mutate and spread. The CDC and the WHO wanted to sample the virus from the victims to create a vaccine. But nothing worked. It was my belief that we needed to find the primordial strain here in the Arctic. :'''Chandler''': The birds. :'''Scott''': They're just the carriers. They pick up the virus from the melting permafrost. We finally found their feeding ground. :'''Chandler''': So you have what you need to stop this thing? :'''Scott''': I won't know until we get it back to the lab. We're running out of time. The virus back home is moving quicker than any of us could've imagined. :'''Chandler''': How would you know that? We've been radio silent since we left Norfolk. :'''Scott''': Because I have my own sat phone. :'''Chandler''': We were at EMCON so no one would know our position! :'''Scott''': We were at EMCON to protect my mission... Not yours. Orders came from the White House. :'''Chandler''': Well, you led the Russians right to us and endangered my entire crew. :'''Scott''': It was imperative that I stay in contact with the labs back home to keep them informed of my progress. I don't think you understand what we're talking about here. :'''Chandler''': Enlighten me. :'''Scott''': When we left Norfolk, the virus was at Phase Two, limited to small clusters in Asia and Africa. We are now at Phase Six-- global pandemic. 80% of the world's population is infected. The world is sick, Captain Chandler... Very sick. :'''Chandler''': Are you telling me the whole world is dying, and they send two people to save it? :'''Scott''': It took weeks to convince the government to even send me here. Most of my colleagues think that I'm insane. :'''Chandler''': Are you? :'''Scott''': I told you... that what's in that case... might be the only hope that we have. === ''Welcome to Gitmo'' [1.2]=== :''[having secured Guantanamo Bay of the former Al-Qaeda prisoners]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': I don't know how you feel about the water... but we sure could use your services. :'''Tex Nolan''': Where you headed? :'''Chandler''': We got some things to do, but when we're done, we're going home. :'''Nolan''': Yeah, I'll sign up for that. ===''Dead Reckoning'' [1.3]=== :''[Commander Chandler talks to Doctor Scott about Admiral Ruskov's demands]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Who else has been working on a vaccine? :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': What, in the world? Everyone. :'''Chandler''': What about the Russians? Were they close? :'''Scott''': I mean, nobody was making any real progress. And I hate to say it, but they're probably all dead anyway. Why? :'''Chandler''': If somebody had the primordial strain of the virus, the stuff you found in the ice, could they make a vaccine? :'''Scott''': I suppose, if they had the right equipment and someone qualified to run it. But they'd be months behind us. ===''We'll Get There'' [1.4]=== :''[Flashback to Commander Chandler's preparations to leave for the Arctic deployment]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Darien, I'm not going to the Med. Navy's sending us to the Arctic. :'''Darien Chandler''': The Arctic? That's crazy. :'''Tom''': Some cold-weather test on a new weapon system. It's all classified. It's happening very fast. We're gonna be at complete radio silence. No e-mails, no calls. :'''Darien''': For how long? :'''Tom''': Six months, maybe five. :'''Darien''': Figures. :'''Tom''': It's my last tour for a while. Then I'll be around the house so much, you'll be sick of me, I promise. ===''El Toro'' [1.5]=== :''[The team has been caught by el Toro's men]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': I'm guessing you must be El Toro. :'''El Toro''': I am, indeed. And who do I have the pleasure of talking to? :'''Chandler''': Tom Chandler, U.S. Navy. Your men took our weapons, CBR suits, and equipment. We're gonna need 'em back. :'''El Toro''': You won't need your suits. There is no virus here. As for your weapons, I cannot have your men walking around with machine guns. That would frighten my people. :'''Chandler''': Well, I'm afraid that's not acceptable. With respect, I don't have time to debate it. The remainder of my crew, some 200-odd U.S. Navy sailors, await our return aboard our destroyer, U.S.S. Nathan James, currently in the bay at the mouth of the river. We don't return by 2300 hours, they'll come looking. And rest assured, they will find us. ===''Lockdown'' [1.6]=== :''[Chandler talks to the crew over the PA after Dr Scott shows him some prototypes of a Red Flu vaccine]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Good evening, Nathan James. This is the captain. I wanted to inform you all of our progress in the mission. As you know, a small team entered Nicaragua to find primates for Dr. Scott's test, which she hopes will be a vaccine against the virus. While there, we encountered a drug lord who enslaved 150 people. We eliminated his men and we eliminated him, freeing those healthy people there to establish a life for themselves. We also encountered several dozen infected people, including children. Yesterday, we couldn't help them. But perhaps tomorrow, we will be able to, because we came back to the Nathan James with 34 monkeys. Dr. Scott will now conduct her trials on those monkeys. But we... We are not waiting. We're setting a course for home. By the time we get there, we believe Dr. Scott will have a vaccine, and our mission will be completed. Today's a good day. Carry on. ===''SOS'' [1.7]=== :''[Flashback to Oslo, Norway, six months before the outbreak]'' :'''Niels Sorensen''': I don't understand why you won't listen to me. It's a splice overlap PCR reaction with an immune-modulatory gene. It will help the body identify the virus and create antibodies. :'''Professor Lindblom''': Yes, yes. You are young and have a bright career ahead. And don't waste your time with schoolboy science fiction. :'''Sorensen''': The virus is spreading. There are cases being reported beyond the Middle East. It will be in Oslo by winter. It is deadly and will likely mutate. We... :'''Lindblom''': Niels. I am well aware of what's at stake. But what you are proposing is too dangerous. The Australians tried it on mouse pox. It was a complete disaster. :'''Sorensen''': I've already done the experiment. :'''Lindblom''': What? :'''Sorensen''': On myself. :'''Lindblom''': While you were gone. And it worked. :'''Sorensen''': You are mad. :'''Lindblom''': I'm still here. :'''Sorensen''': Absolutely mad. :'''Lindblom''': I'm perfectly healthy. Professor Lindblom, please. :'''Sorensen''': You stay away from my lab. You hear me? I am finished with you! ''[storms off]'' :'''Lindblom''': Professor.. ===''Two Sailors Walk Into a Bar...'' [1.8]=== :''[The Russians have captured Commander Chandler and brought him to Admiral Ruskov aboard the Vyerni]'' :'''ADM Konstantin Ruskov''': I'd like to treat you with the respect your rank affords, but you are going to have to meet me halfway. Now, tell me of Dr. Scott's progress with the vaccine. She's close, right? :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': My name is Thomas Chandler, Commander, United States Navy, serial number 4242022634. :'''Ruskov''': There is no need for that. The Geneva Convention doesn't exist anymore. Hell, ''Geneva'' doesn't exist anymore! ''[laughs]'' Ah... Still won't talk? See, I told you. He would rather go it alone and die than share in the glory of saving the world. Why else would you, the ship's captain, personally lead the mission to save some poor island girl? Like with all tragic heroes, your hubris brought about your downfall. What do you have to say to that, Commander Chandler? :'''Chandler''': My name is Thomas Chandler, Commander, United States Navy, serial number 4242022634. ===''Trials'' [1.9]=== :''[CMC Jeter remembers PO Cossetti]'' :'''Command Master Chief Russ Jeter''': The ceremony will be at 0900. We'll have seven guns and the ensigns at half-mast. It'll be a hero's farewell. :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': He wanted to redeem himself. :'''Jeter''': He never had to. :'''Chandler''': He gave his life for mine. :'''Jeter''': He gave his life for the mission. And now we're free... :'''Chandler''': To finish it. ===''No Place Like Home'' [1.10]=== :''[After seeing that USAMRIID's biological facility has been destroyed, the crew suddenly receives a call from the still-functioning local government]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': This is Tom Chandler, commanding officer of the USS Nathan James, over. :'''Amy Granderson''': Captain Chandler. You have no idea how good it is to hear your voice. We thought you were lost at sea. :'''Chandler''': No, ma'am, we're alive and well. :'''Granderson''': Oh! There you are. I got it. You must be nearby. I'm Amy Granderson. And I suppose an explanation is in order. As vice-chair of the President's defense policy board, I was briefed on your mission to the Arctic. I knew the risks of the coming pandemic, and I had my daughter transferred to your ship. You must forgive me. :'''Chandler''': No apology needed, ma'am. Your daughter's been an incredible asset. Pleased to hear from you. We had no word from the presidential bunker. :'''Granderson''': President Geller invited me underground. I declined. I-I felt the risk was too big to have so much of our civilian and military command in one confined space. Unfortunately, I was right. :'''Chandler''': So the government is gone. :'''Granderson''': For the most part, yes. Since the bunker went silent, there has been a breakdown of infrastructure, general panic, and, of course, a tremendous loss of life. I have tried to execute a contingency plan working with the state and local police to create safe zones. We have been hanging on as best we can. And I have been praying every day for your return. ==Season 2== ===''Unreal City'' [2.1]=== :''[Dr Scott is trying to talk to Amy Granderson]'' :'''Amy Granderson''': We have successfully taken control of the Nathan James. My people are collecting all your work as we speak. Now, with your research and your samples, Dr. Hamada and his team will eventually learn to make the cure themselves. Wouldn't it be better for everyone if you just agreed to work together? :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': Work together? What, on your Darwinian experiment? Save those that you deem worthy and, what, just forget the rest? :'''Granderson''': Perhaps I was overzealous in... "barbarians at the gate," I believe, is what you called them. Doctor, I watched a grown man b*at a 12-year-old boy to death over a gas mask. I saw a woman stab her sister in the back for a can of beans. The apocalypse is here. It's been here for a long time. But I am willing to adjust my philosophy to suit your sensibilities if you just help me get the lab up and running. :'''Scott''': What about the captain? And my friends? :'''Granderson''': The best thing you can do for your friends is to let them know you've decided to cooperate with me. That will end this foolish bloodshed. :'''Scott''':You say you'll help everyone? :'''Granderson''':I will. :'''Scott''': Well, then, prove it. :'''Granderson''': And how do you suggest I do that? :'''Scott''': You're wasting doses here on healthy people. Let me out into the street with what I have left... save people who are already sick. What, you think I'm gonna try to escape? :'''Granderson''': I think it's silly. And given the state of the world, I think it's small. ===''Fight the Ship'' [2.2]=== :''[Mike Slattery addresses the people of Baltimore]'' :'''CDR Mike Slattery''': Attention people of Baltimore. USS Nathan James is back under the control of her crew. This ship is now engaged in the fight to free Baltimore and spread the cure for the Red Flu to all of its citizens. This message goes out to Amy Granderson and all those loyal to her. Nathan James has been liberated and has joined the fight against you. We demand your immediate surrender. Lay down your arms... or be subject to the full force of the United States Navy." <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Nathan James crew and Thorwald's men have gained the upper hand at Avocet and Granderson is cornered trying to escape]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': There are 200 more where I came from. You heard my X.O. We've taken back our ship, this building is ours, and we're telling the people of Baltimore that your kill zone at Olympia is out of business. You have two choices... a trial... or a funeral. :'''Amy Granderson''': ''[to bodyguard]'' I gave you a direct order. Shoot! ''[bodyguard wavers and stands down]'' :'''Bodyguard''': I am not going anywhere with you. :'''Chandler''': I found your daughter lying in a pool of her own blood, shot by your guards, under your order! My children were lined up to be murdered and sent to the ovens, along with thousands of desperate people... all so you can keep the lights on for your select few. :'''Granderson''': You don't know! The virus was spreading! So you get to decide who lives and who dies?! There was panic, Captain, and I remained calm. Everybody was fleeing underground, but I stood firm! There was no plan and I built this. I'm the reason these people have survived this long. :'''Chandler''': Except when you had the cure in hand, you wouldn't stop! You continued killing. It's over. Your grand social experiment is history. I'm offering you the chance. Surrender with honor. :'''Granderson''': And who will judge me? You? :'''Chandler''': Not me. A jury of your peers. Pick up the radio. Stand down your troopers. Shut down Olympia. Turn away your helo and come peacefully. It's the only way for you now. :'''Granderson''': ''[on radio]'' Th-this is Amy... This is Amy Granderson. Stand down. Cease and desist all operations at Olympia. Repeat... stand down. We are surrendering. ''[Radio clatters]'' I am not a monster. I am not. ''[brings out vial and swallows]'' Dr. Hamada assured me that the cocktail provided a quick and painless death. I insisted on it. ===''It's not a Rumor'' [2.3]=== :''[The Nathan James study all material recovered from the White House and play a video file labelled SECNAV]'' :'''[[w:Ray Mabus|Ray Mabus]]''': ''[on video]'' Is this on?

Now, if y... you're viewing this video, you are a part of the new network of facilities in the United States and certain foreign nations which were chosen to produce and distribute the vaccine in the event their mission is successful. In order to protect the security of the labs in the new network, your locations have been kept secret. However, you'll be able to communicate with the civilian command, with each other via secure satellite connection. The codes for that connection have been embedded within the drive that contains this video. These codes have to be guarded at all cost. If... if and when a vaccine arrives... :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': No one's decoded this yet? :'''Lt Kara Foster''': No, sir. We didn't know those encryptions existed until just now. :'''Chandler''': Find me those labs. Do it quickly. :'''Foster''': Yes, sir. :'''Mabus''': Godspeed. ===''Solace'' [2.4]=== :''[a SEAL operator talks to the Nathan James crew about the situation in Norfolk]'' :'''Damon''': Me and my team were stationed up in Little Creek. When shit went down, we went inland. We only made it back here a few weeks ago. We got 34 military personnel in town as far as we can tell... some Army, some Marines, but mostly Navy. :'''CDR Mike Slattery''': Our intel says there's a biosafety Level IV lab on base here. :'''Damon''': There was, but the equipment got moved someplace and no one here can tell us where. We've been trying to divide the city into sectors, impose a level of control. We got people holed up in different safe houses... school gym, supermarkets, some of them even running on diesel generators. I don't know if we found them all yet, but we're still in the process of clearing the city. :'''Slattery''': My people are about to head out there soon, try to find their families. Any information I can give them ahead of time will be much appreciated. <hr width="50%"/> :''[in a cabin in Florida, a man addresses a group of people who applaud at every line he says]'' :'''Man''': And let me tell you something else... we are more than just survivors!

What kind of message are you gonna send to them, that you're, uh, George Washington and you've come back to work on your farm? You think because you got a... a lab in Baltimore and six planes with the cure that everything's in hand? The world is in chaos. There's a lot more to do. :'''Tom''': And that crew is trained to do it, with or without me. :'''Jed''': They need you. :'''Tom''': And they don't?

Such a rarified concept these days. High in demand... ''[sighs]'' And short in supply. I'm enjoying recording these logs again. Until recently, I had given up on them. With no connection to the outside world, they were serving as little more than just a diary. But now with the satellite network up and running, they have become my trusty carrier pigeons. I am happy to report that the cure has landed safely in labs across the country and in Europe, and I am on my way to you, Dr. Hunter, my friend, my mentor. We'll be stopping first in Savannah to set up a lab there, before heading down to you in Florida with the cure. As promised, I am uploading my data to the secured satellite, and I would love for you to take a look at the work we've done, and get your thoughts on faster methods for replication. Because time, as you well know, is of the essence, and millions still continue to live at risk.

Everyone's like him? :'''Scott''': I cross-referenced his blood against Bertrise's. Natural immunity, as it turns out, is a tad more common than I initially thought. Anywhere between 1% and 5% of the global population. That's how they took Europe. :'''Chandler''': Now their mission is to destroy the cure wherever it exists, on a nuclear-powered sub that never runs out of fuel. :'''Scott''': Yes, but we had the flash drive.

But even from what I saw... It wasn't easy to watch. ''[opens video]'' :'''Dr Julius Hunter''': Rachel, oh, God, I pray this gets to you. Listen, we're... We're under attack, Rachel, but it's important... It's important that you learn this. I've been working with the data you sent me about the cure. And I think I found a way to help. Using what I learned about the measles project... Now, I know you think that's crazy, but it works. I'm sending you the data now. It's here. Look, I don't... Oh, God. Listen, Rachel. It's all worked out. All you have to do is... I just somehow pray that this file gets to you, that you get it off the server, Rachel. ''[gets interrupted]'' :'''MacDowell''': Okay. :'''Hunter''': Got to know that... Rachel. :'''MacDowell''': Come on, now. Take it all. We need to find that server. Okay, doc. No. Stand up. :'''Hunter''': Please. Please. ''[killed by gunshot]'' :'''CDR Mike Slattery''': Well, that's how they were able to get the locations of all the labs. Stole them from Dr. Hunter. :'''Scott''': He was working on an experiment to turn my liquid injectable version of the cure into a powder so it could be released over populated areas via helicopters, planes, drones, even. I could manufacture a highly concentrated powder right here on the ship. We wouldn't even need labs anymore. So people could breathe in the cure. It would be very much like crop-dusting. Mass inoculations without glassware, needles, all the infrastructure that we no longer have. :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Do you think Hunter was actually able to do it? :'''Scott''': I know that he had some good results aerosolizing the measles vaccine, but I won't know until we get down to his lab in Florida. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Dr Rachel Scott has an idea and presents it to Chandler]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': What's that? :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': ''[Blows]'' Cornstarch from the chief's mess.

Unless you want to be fully informed. I'd like to show you something, if I may. This is from August. She was second in succession... President then. These were her orders to us. ''[plays video file of President Geller]'' :'''President Kelly Geller''': Morning, Commander. I know... the last you heard, I was Speaker of the House. The President died two months ago, the Vice-President a week later. What's left of the Federal Government is holed up 200 feet below the White House. Most of our population, along with our armed forces, is dying or dead. We have no allies, we have no enemies... Just a world of sick, desperate people. If Dr. Scott has the makings of a cure, you must come home... now. :'''Slattery''': We came home. Found things not quite as hospitable as we'd hoped. No infrastructure... No government, no orders. So we went to the White House, and we were able to get our hands on many of the Presidential files and directives. This is the secretary of the Navy. I understand you... You knew him pretty well. ''[plays clip of SECNAV Ray Mabus]'' :'''Ray Mabus''': The U.S. Navy is currently on a mission to find the materials for a vaccine to combat the pandemic. If you're viewing this video, you are part of the new network of facilities in the United States and certain foreign countries, which were chosen to produce and distribute the vaccine. You'll be able to communicate with the civilian command with each other. Hopefully, you'll then start producing and distributing the vaccine, and we can get to the task of rebuilding our great nation. Godspeed. :'''Slattery''': We have the cure, sir. Dr. Scott was able to produce it right here on this ship. Guess you wouldn't have any need for it yourself. The rest of the world, the ones who aren't lucky enough to be naturally immune... We got to Norfolk, we found pilots, we sent doses around the country and to Europe, as we were ordered to do. The project to mass-produce the cure was well under way, and then we ran into some problems. This is a recording made by one of our scientists. He was trying to get a message through to Dr. Scott. ''[replays Dr Hunter's entire desperate message to Rachel]'' You might recognize that Irish accent. Those were Sean Ramsey's people. They gained access to our secret network, the location of all our labs, and they blew them up with their long-range missiles. Destroyed our limited infrastructure, murdered our scientists... All because they believe that they are the inheritors of the earth. That's why Captain Chandler rescued you from the Ramseys. I can only assume you knew nothing about this. I mean, if you did... This is a comprehensive look at Dr. Scott's protocols, experiments, and trials. Complete Captain's logs, combat center records, including our attempt at a response to the Ramseys' assault on our labs. It's not easy to listen to, but I think it'll be informative. I'll let the Captain know that you've been briefed.

And you're going to help us defeat whoever it is that twisted you all around, but we are never gonna get there until you face whatever it is you can't let go of. :'''Michener''': There's nothing...

Please! That's not what happened! :'''Chandler''': The security details... they were lax! You couldn't have known. He infected everyone in that stadium... it was hot! They were careless with their masks! Your wife, your daughters. :'''Michener''': Please! No! No! :'''Chandler''': It was all on you. :'''Michener''': That's not what happened!

And it was easy for you to believe because you needed to believe it... :'''Michener''': Because it was the only way to go on. :'''Chandler''': There's another way now.

I was able to isolate the mutation in Niels' lungs that make him so contagious. And I introduced it to my vaccine. I injected myself with it about an hour ago, and then I breathed on an infected mouse, the same way that Niels used to breath on people as a way to kill them. If this works, if the mouse survives, in effect... I'll be able to breathe the cure onto people. And so will anyone else that I give this new shit to, which means that we won't need any more labs, any more infrastructure, or planes. All our problems will be solved. :'''Chandler''': Except one.

And I'd do it again in a beat. :'''Chandler''': I saw you a half-hour before I left the ship. You told me you were on the verge of a breakthrough. :'''Scott''': I was! :'''Chandler''': But you didn't tell me you had to kill Niels to do it. :'''Scott''': I was hoping to avoid getting blood on your hands. :'''Chandler''': I already have blood on my hands.

About the secret lab experiments, the release of the deadly virus by your military, and the subsequent government cover-up. By now, many of you will have seen the horrible video captured by witnesses on the scene. The US Navy ship that attacked New Orleans harbor was flying the American flag, but it doesn't represent you good people. That ship is a key part of a larger conspiracy to take over this country, and it won't be stopped until you are dead and a new world order is established. I know it's heartbreaking and Difficult to believe. But soon, you will have more evidence of the US Navy's role in creating the deadly virus. That is why we have created this mobile network to get out the truth... I am here to tell you that you are not alone. We Brits have not forgotten our special relationship with America... And to the captain of the USS Nathan James, who has kidnapped the American president and wreaked havoc on this great nation, hear this. We are coming for you. You cannot hide from justice.

I know that you've stayed alive this long by isolating yourselves... And your families, that many of you have been living in fear, Fear of the virus, fear of each other... Fear of the unknown. There have been people out there who have taken advantage of that. Despicable rumors and misleading videos have been broadcast from this network, lies designed to manipulate you, to make you believe that this ship and the people on it are your enemy. Nothing could be further from the truth. The men and women on this ship are some of the bravest, noblest that I have ever met, and it is an outrage that their commitment to bring all of us the cure has been undermined by those who thrive on your fear. I can tell you now that we do have the cure for the Red Flu. Attached to this message is video footage where you can see for yourself our doctor attending and curing patients sick with the virus. It is our mission now to spread this cure to as many of you as we can. At noon tomorrow, the 18th, we expect to land at the docks in Vicksburg, where we will remain in port for six hours. On the 20th, we'll arrive in Tennessee. We have made contact with a few brave citizens at the college of Memphis. Our team will meet people there at 9:00 A.M., again, for a period of six hours. We'll end our journey at 10:00 A.M. the following day, the 21st, at the port of St. Louis.

As usual, I speak to you from the historic Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. On this, the 154th day of my presidency, I'm happy to announce that our American reconstruction plan continues on pace. In fact, if you're hearing me over an electric radio in the four corner states or seeing me for the first time on television, you already know that the Johnson hydroelectric plant is back online, providing consistent power to much of the Southwest. And from all over the country, we have more reports of Americans joining forces to fix the broken pieces of our nation. Yes, the American spirit is alive and well. Today, many of you will receive your newly printed ration cards to be used for all essential purposes. A reminder... These are not a replacement for U.S. currency. We continue to work with the banks to ensure everyone has access to their money and their property, but until our productivity can keep up with demand, these cards will ensure citizens are granted equal access to available goods. We ask for your continued patience and your help with this implementation. Dr. Rachel Scott's murder came as a shock to us all, but she died knowing that she brought life back to this great nation. And her sacrifice will not be forgotten. This St. Louis radio hub will continue to bring you updates and information, along with your local stations as they come online. Of course, I'll be back tomorrow to speak with you directly. Until then, I thank you for your contributions and your courage. This project will succeed because of you.

We sortie the ships in Okinawa. Shackleton and Hayward can be in the region in a matter of days. :'''Chandler''': I appreciate that, sir, but those ships need to be in Japan, investigating the possibility of the virus mutation.

You can keep fighting us, thinking we're monsters, or you can cooperate, help us figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. :'''Takehaya''': I heard the call over the radio. The Americans are coming with the cure. We rushed to the port, thousands of us. Survivors. The ships arrived. American ships. And we lined up to receive our injections. They told us to spread out, to pass the cure on to the rest of our people. Soon... there was no way to tell who had the cure and who did not.... because everyone died. :'''Chandler''': But other than the U.S. Navy, who had custody of the cargo once it landed? Could someone have tampered with the doses on the pier? :'''Takehaya''': No. :'''Chandler''': How can you be so sure? We delivered to dozens of countries on this ship. We always worked with the local partners... :'''Takehaya''': I was a local partner, Captain. My crew was there. We'd made sure everyone received a dose. I was in charge. I was responsible. :'''Chandler''': That's why you wanted those ships out of Okinawa. That's why you wanted to punish the people that brought you the cure. But why work with Peng? :'''Takehaya''': I did not work with Peng. :'''Chandler''': Oh, come on. The coincidence is too great. You kidnapped my men in Haiphong at precisely the same moment Peng blows up my plane in Hong Kong? :'''Takehaya''': I do not call that coincidence, Captain. I call that luck. <hr width="50%"/> :''[President Michener is forced to come on TV after reports of his gaffe early in the pandemic come to light]'' :'''US President Jeffrey Michener''': My fellow Americans, by now, many of you heard about the reports from Florida and my time spent there. I wanted to take a moment to tell you the truth directly from me. I did not know that my son, Brian, was the carrier of the Red Flu at the time. I did bring him down to Florida from an area that I knew could be infected. As a father, I acted out of desperation. But as a public servant, I was derelict in my duties. Now, as your President, I humbly offer my sincerest apology. :'''Jacob Barnes''': Contrition from the President. Since the release of that statement an hour ago, St. Louis White House remains on virtual lockdown, with no comments from his aides and no further information to support the President's statement. At this time of uncertainty, I will continue to pursue this story wherever it leads. Jacob Barnes, AMT News. ===''Sea Change'' [3.8]=== :''[The Nathan James crew examines a jury-rigged missile they caught during an operation, noting that it carries an aerosol-based substance designed to resist the Red Flu vaccine ]'' :'''CAPT Mike Slattery''': That's what Peng's hoarding. He could fire those missiles over uncured populations, so when the cure finally does arrive... It doesn't work. :'''Sasha Cooper''': That boat was headed to Taiwan on a run. Jesse saw the missile near Vietnam. :'''Takehaya''': And my wife saw the mist in Japan. By the time we got to the ports to receive the cure, it was already too late. ===''Paradise'' [3.9]=== :''[Captain Chandler briefs President Oliver about the aerosol bioweapon developed by the Chinese at Paraiso Island]'' :'''President Howard Oliver''': And how certain are you of this intelligence? :'''CAPT Tom Chandler''': Fairly certain. Peng is too smart to do this out in the open. He'd build and transport these weapons out of sight to conceal his involvement. :'''Oliver''': And what do you need from me? :'''Chandler''': Sir, ''Shackleton'' and ''Hayward'' have been running in circles since this whole thing began. I'd like them to join us. We're gonna need them to take on Peng and what's left of his navy. :'''Oliver''': My understanding is that President Michener once offered you those ships and you turned him down, choosing to run this operation solo. :'''Chandler''': Yes, sir. :'''Oliver''': And since then, you've left a lot of bodies in your wake, many of them American sailors. Captain, we don't know each other well, but you need to know that if my first act in office is to declare war on China, I'd like to base it on something more than the testimony of smugglers and pirates. :'''Chandler''': Of course, sir. :'''Oliver''': Go to this Paraiso island, find the source of these missiles, tie it to Peng, and I'll do everything in my power to help you finish him off.

The great Captain Chandler. The legend, the man that we devoted enormous amounts of time and resources to get out of trouble. :'''Green''': I understand your concern, sir, but now that Captain Chandler has uncovered a genocide in Asia... :'''Rivera''': A-Alleged genocide. Kara, you have to remember, we're living in a post-apocalypse. Facts and truths are just as much the victim of this plague as everything else. Right now, the best thing we can do is focus on the American people. :'''Green''': I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting. Can you be more specific? :'''Rivera''': What I'm suggesting, Kara, is that while everyone is looking eastward, our country is collapsing beneath our feet. And when the chips fall, it's important you know who your friends are. Is that clear enough? :'''Green''': Yes, sir. :'''Rivera''': I'm glad. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After the White House learns of the Chinese destroying the USS Shackleton and damaging the USS Hayward as they were reinforcing the Nathan James, Allison Shaw gets a little bit forceful on President Howard Oliver]'' :'''White House chief of staff Allison Shaw''': Mr. President, through no fault of your own, you've stepped through the looking glass into the birth of a new America. The pandemic, the millions of deaths, the complete collapse of law and order demands a revolution of governance. :'''President Howard Oliver''': Revolution? You mean coup d'etat. Who are you working with? Castillo? :'''Shaw''': Castillo, Price, Wilson, Croft. America can no longer be governed by a central power, not now. Each region must look after itself. :'''Oliver''': Sons of bitches. I knew it. :'''Shaw''': Relax, Howard. This is a good thing. You knew that Michener was moving too fast, that America wasn't healthy enough to go back to the way things were. There are no states. There are no cities. There are only tribes scrambling out of the mud over the bodies of 300 million dead Americans. Face it, Howard... Democracy is a luxury that we can no longer afford. :'''Oliver''': This is crazy. I mean, what the hell are you talking about? :'''Shaw''': By now, Senator Beatty and Secretary Rivera are dead. If you try to contact any of your allies in the city, the consequences will be swift... As swift as they were for Jeffrey Michener. :'''Oliver''': You're insane. That's it. Y-You've gone completely insane. :'''Shaw''': Do you understand me, Howard? Your family, your friends... None of them will be safe if you do not play ball. Take a minute and think about it before you make any decisions you'll later regret. Everybody likes you, Howard. It's a big table, and there's a place for you at it as long as you go with the program. Have I made myself completely clear? This office is your home now. I'll see you in the morning.

Check them out. :'''Green''': Benton, Arkansas. :'''Barnes''': Yep. :'''Green''': Bismarck, North Dakota. Big Spring, Texas. :'''Barnes''': Yep and yep. 46 prisons for a population our size? All maximum security. And they're spread out evenly in the territories. :'''Green''': There's controlling the troops, hoarding the food, and expecting people to resist. :'''Barnes''': Beatty must've been getting cold feet.

Worked my way through the pipeline just to get my chance to lead. Nathan James was my first command. Suddenly... I was thrust into a situation that no one can prepare you for. The world was turned upside-down, and all the rules were thrown out. But... the Navy taught me many things. Most importantly, it taught me to adapt. I had to make some difficult decisions. God knows I made some mistakes. But never once did I waver from what I knew to be right... The core values that run through all of our veins. Honor... courage... commitment. And I served my sailors as they served me and as we all serve this great country of ours. I didn't ask for this. I could've taken this uniform off at any time. But I always believed in the work that we were doing as a team, and the decisions that I was making as a captain. And though my tactics changed to address an insane world... my resolve and my dedication to the Navy never faltered. I stand by my record :''[Slattery and his men enter the room with weapons drawn]'' :'''Meylan''': What the hell is this? ''[sees that the men are all from the Nathan James]'' I see. This was never about your guilt or innocence. :'''Chandler''': You forced our hand here, Captain. There was a moment today... where I actually had my doubts. Thank you for removing those for me. When the chips fall, if I'm proven wrong, I'll face justice from a higher power than you. Cooper, Green, please remove the officers and sequester them in Helo Bay 2. :'''Lt Danny Green''': Gladly. :'''Chandler''': Captain, I need you to set a new course for Japan. :'''CAPT Mike Slattery''': Yes, sir. ===''Legacy'' [3.11]=== :''[The Nathan James crew has successfully killed Peng and his men at the Japanese National Archives]'' :'''CAPT Tom Chandler''': Peng's only destroyer now belongs to me.

So in the absence of any working federal government, and deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, your regional leaders, Price, Castillo, Wilson, and Croft hereby call for the immediate suspension of the government of the United States. Each region will be able to govern itself and focus on reconstruction until such time as a central authority can be safely reestablished. :'''CAPT Thomas Chandler''': Yeah. In other words, never. :'''Shaw''': By the time you hear these words, control of the Armed Forces will have been split among the regional leaders, and I would like to assure you that the military turnover has been peaceful, thanks to an unprecedented collaboration between the nation's highest-ranking generals and your four regional leaders.

Here's the deal, Manuel... From here on out, you no longer get to decide what you will and will not do. See, you had the chance to kill me, again, and you blew it... again. So you will cooperate. :'''Castillo''': And why is that? :'''Chandler''': Your army turned on you without hardly a shot fired. Once your partners find out you lost control of your region and Beatty's... They will cut you out like the cancer you are. And let's not underestimate the "filthy masses."

The people are too wounded and scared to think for themselves. Today they follow you, but tomorrow, they will find another golden calf to worship. That much I've learned. Are you so naive? Captain, ‭you didn't save the world. You unleashed the worst in human nature. You really want to save the people, you need to terrorize them. You need to take them by the neck and shake them.

Do you live with your folks? :'''Swain''': No, sir. I'm not married, and, uh, my parents died in the plague. :'''Chandler''': Right. :'''Swain''': You wrote that U.S. military installations were extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. :'''Chandler''': That was my conclusion, sir. It had to do with the number of nodes and the redundancies... :'''Swain''': I need you to find the virus, where it came from, and how to get rid of it. You'll be working with Commander Granderson. Good luck, Mr. Swain. :'''Chandler''': Oh. Raise your right hand. POTUS usually does this, but he's not here, so... Do you solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” :'''Swain''': I do. :'''Chandler''': Congratulations, ''Ensign'' Swain. You are now a member of the United States Navy. Get to work. <hr width="50%"/> :''[US SOUTHCOM and Admiral Chandler is informed of a call from the Nathan James broadcast in the clear]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': This isn't a secure channel, Mike. :'''ADM Mike Slattery''': Yeah, I know. I finally got around to reading your favorite book. You got your copy handy? :'''Chandler''': Hold on. Ensign Swain, do you have your copy of "Moby-Dick"? :'''ENS Clayton Swain''': Yes, sir. :'''Chandler''': We've got it. :'''Slattery''': Turn to page 366, nine paragraphs down. Last words. :'''Chandler''': Working on it. :'''Slattery''': This is how we're gonna have to communicate for the time being. :'''Chandler''': Understood. Smart play, Mike. Well? What's the message? :'''Swain''': "Fit for a fight." :'''Chandler''': We've got it. :'''Slattery''': Tom, is the message clear? :'''Chandler''': Yes, it is. We read you loud and clear. :'''Slattery''': We'll be in touch. ===''El Puente'' [5.3]=== :''[A spitball incident in the Nathan James mess hall between the Cuban and Mexican envoys gets too personal and the crew tries hard to separate them]'' :'''ADM Mike Slattery''': Now, you listen to me. You and your men are gonna cut this shit out, you're gonna bury the hatchet. you're gonna make a deal, or I promise you, you will be swimming home. Escort them to the wardroom. Move! <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Nathan James successfully fights off a Gran Colombian airstrike]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': This is Nathan James, calling Gustavo Barros. We just took out your airwing, and you didn't lay a glove on us. And you can mark that up along with your Corvette. Payback for Mayport. You may have hit us hard, but you didn't finish us. You know why? Because you can't. And now Mexico and Cuba have joined the fight. So this message goes out to all of Central and South America. There is a choice now. Join us. Send Gustavo back into the dirt hole he crawled out of. We fight for peace. But make no mistake... we will fight. And this ship and this crew? They're damn good at it. So, Gustavo... come at us again. I dare you. This is Nathan James. Out. ''[to bridge crew]'' Now, they know who we are, where we are. Let's be ready for what they throw at us. :'''Bridge crew''': Aye, sir. :'''Chandler''' Nobody's talking about going home now. It's a good day. ===''Tropic of Cancer'' [5.4]=== :''[Alisha Granderson has figured out that the Fleet Week cyberattack was attributed to Kelsi visiting her in the office two days before - and confronts her at home]'' :'''CDR Alisha Granderson''': I didn't want to believe it. All those questions. "Is Nathan James okay?" "Is Tom Chandler alive?" "Tell me, tell, me, tell me." You used me as a weapon. How long? :'''Kelsi Baker''': Since before we met. :'''Granderson''': Why? How?! :'''Baker''': It was my duty. Surely, you can understand that. :'''Granderson''': You're insane. :'''Baker''': I'm insane? No. Insane is believing in lies and closing your eyes to the truth. Insane is having blind faith in a corrupt power structure. No, we need... What the people yearn for is an awakening. Have you heard Tavo speak? Have you heard his message? "The first step towards tyranny" "is to believe" "the government will take care of everything." :'''Granderson''': Kelsi, did I mean nothing to you? :'''Baker''': Oh, I did care about you, Alisha. You should know that. And for awhile there, I thought I loved you, but... you and me, what we are... That doesn't even matter. Not now. ===''Warriors'' [5.5]=== :''[As Vulture team tries to hide in a Jamaican rum cellar from Gran Colombia invasion forces, Chandler talks to war strategist Dr Manuel Montano]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': I was gonna wait till we were on the flight home, but it looks like we got a couple minutes, so let's take some time. You're the architect of Gustavo's war machine. What's the sequel to Plan Azul? Haiti, Puerto Rico, Bahamas? :'''Dr Manuel Montano''': I fight for the Latin American people. So that we will no longer be dependent on the whims of the north. :'''Chandler''': Now you sound like your boss. :'''Montano''': You're a man of war, Admiral. And a professor, as I understand. You tell me... how many invasions, bombs, coups, CIA black ops, and other interventions does it take before people push back? :'''Chandler''': America's not your enemy. :'''Montano''': America is a continent, not a country, Admiral. Learn that... maybe you'll understand La Revolución. Gustavo's not a revolutionary. He's not fighting to right old wrongs. :'''Chandler''': He's a strong man and an opportunist, and he's killing more of your people than ours. :'''Montano''': I did not say I support Gustavo. :'''Chandler''': You're not in Jamaica guarding Gustavo's secrets. You're running away. :'''Montano''': Yes, Admiral. :'''Chandler''': In another of the great post-plague ironies, one of the great strategists of war has become a pacifist. :'''Montano''': The first time I heard him speak was in his home town. A little place called Rubi. He was a man of humble beginnings, speaking of hope, belonging... Listening to Tavo was a revelation. He put words to the pain and the shame of the South American experience... all we'd been feeling for so long. The plans we made together were going to do great good. :'''Chandler''': So what changed? :'''Montano''': Tavo changed. :'''Chandler''': Or he stopped hiding his true intentions. :'''Montano''': And it wasn't just rebels being killed, it was whole villages... anyone who fed into Tavo's paranoia. You can only see a child be burned alive so many times before you question your part in it all. :'''Chandler''': You know his next moves. Help me stop him, help me end this. :'''Montano''': If I help you, will that save my nation? :'''Chandler''': If you don't, will your nation still be worth saving? :'''Montano''': If I join you... I'm still an instrument of death. The only difference is the person delivering it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Flashback to a scene at the Chandler home.

You were never happy unless you were on your damn ship! :'''Tom''': I'm sorry I'm the one you got stuck with. I'm sorry your mom died! :'''Ashley''': And you weren't here. :'''Tom''': Ashley. Ashley.... :'''Ashley''': You don't belong here. You belong out there. ===''Air Drop'' [5.6]=== :''[Gustavo Barros is interviewed]'' :'''Reporter''': I'm curious if your thinking has changed or if you regret starting a war with the United States. :'''President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': We didn't start this war. :'''Reporter''': You sank a US fleet in Mayport on the very day that your loyalists murder the duly-elected leader of Panama. That sounds textbook. :'''Barros''': Mayport wasn't an attack, nor was it the beginning. You're young, but smart enough to know the US's history of murder and political insurrection in Latin America.

This war is a battle for the survival of the people of Gran Colombia. :'''Reporter''': So, is this your justification for the forced conscription, the purges, the death squads? :'''Barros''': Where do you get this information from? :'''Reporter''': Several accounts from defectors... :'''Barros''': Defectors from what? Our borders are not closed. People are free to come and go as they wish. :'''Reporter''': Their accounts are remarkably consistent. :'''Barros''': This isn't a war of public opinion. This is about taking a fresh look at the world... Post-virus, post-famine. It's about adjusting the balance. United States have been bullies for too long. This movement is a rebirth. Take your camera and your notepad and go to the countryside. Go to the cities of Central and South America and see the pride in people's faces. Freedom from tyranny is what they demanded. And it's what I'm giving them. And I'm inviting the people of all of the Americas to join. ===''Courage'' [5.9]=== :''[General Hector Martinez is summoned along with the entire Gran Colombia high command to dinner with President Barros, but when he notices that the other generals are absent...]'' :'''President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': Bad news, Hector. The generals? They were plotting against me. :'''General Hector Martinez''': Who, Tavo? :'''Barros''': Eat, Hector. Gazpacho shouldn't be allowed to warm to room temperature. It's good. :'''Martinez''': There must be a mistake. You're telling me there was a coup amongst my generals? :'''Barros''': ''Your'' generals? I hope they aren't your generals, Hector. No. They're cowards. And I warned you against them. :'''Martinez''': ''[Spanish]'' Are you sure? I've known these men a very long time. I would have heard something. :'''Barros''': There is no mistake, Hector. :'''Martinez''': So you have proof? :'''Barros''': Conchita saw it. In the cards. :'''Martinez''': Tavo. We cannot play with men's lives. These cards cannot always be trusted. :'''Barros''': They confessed. Chacon, Bianchi, Rodriguez, Munos, Moreno. Every single one of them. :'''Martinez''': Oh, my God. :'''Barros''': But it doesn't matter, not really. All I wanted to know... the only thing I asked them before I removed their intestines was, did Hector know? Of course, none of them gave you up. But they gave each other up real quick. But you? Not you. Then I started feeling bad. For doubting you. ''[sees Maza distraught]'' It's... it's okay. :'''Martinez''': No, no, no, no. With all the pressure from the war, I've... :'''Barros''': I know I've gone a little crazy. And I'm sorry about that. :'''Martinez''': You don't have to apologize, Tavo. I support you. Always. :'''Barros''': Of course you do. Of course, I know. That is why I want you to lead the investigation to see just how far down this conspiracy goes. I want it torn out by the roots! :'''Martinez''': ''Sí'', Tavo. I will handle it personally. Like always. :'''Barros''': Like always. Conchita. ''[Conchita leaves]'' Hector, my friend. My brother.

Try and keep their minds off things, even just for a few hours. So, tell me, Admiral. What's going through your head on the night before D-Day? :'''Admiral Chandler''': Nathan James. :'''Garside''': The ship? :'''Chandler''': The sailor. Ship's namesake. Captain Nathan James skippered a PT boat during the war in the Pacific. His fleet was decimated. His boat was all that was left standing against nine Japanese destroyers. The boat sank beneath him. Not before he stopped the enemy's advance. He single-handedly saved a fleet of newly-repaired American destroyers coming out of Pearl Harbor carrying thousands of sailors into the fight. Captain James said, "war is a beast." It appears in many forms. Sometimes it's the beast you face head on, out on the field of battle. As equals. Sometimes the beast hides out. Lurking somewhere in the deep, biding its time "until, when your guard is dropped, it comes for you." "Bloodthirsty and merciless." "And it drags you under. On any given day, you never know which beast you're gonna face." :'''Garside''': Which beast is it for you, Admiral? ===''Commitment'' [5.10]=== :''[Sasha Cooper and Danny Green have cornered Gustavo Barros]'' :'''Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': Where is he...

The plot revolves around the crew of the US Navy destroyer ''USS Nathan James'' as they struggle to survive in a pandemic-hit world. == Season 1 == === ''Phase Six'' [1.1] === :''[Commander Chandler is livid that Dr Scott has not been honest about her work in the Arctic despite having fought off an attack by Russian forces]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': ''[grabs Scott's biosamples case]'' I swear to God, I will throw this overboard! I want answers! :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': You want answers? Seven months ago, outside Cairo, there was an outbreak-- a virus of unknown origin. Its genetic structure was like nothing any of us had ever seen. It swept throughout the village, killing everyone that it infected. Egyptian officials claimed the outbreak was contained, but it wasn't. Instead, it continued to mutate and spread. The CDC and the WHO wanted to sample the virus from the victims to create a vaccine. But nothing worked. It was my belief that we needed to find the primordial strain here in the Arctic. :'''Chandler''': The birds. :'''Scott''': They're just the carriers. They pick up the virus from the melting permafrost. We finally found their feeding ground. :'''Chandler''': So you have what you need to stop this thing? :'''Scott''': I won't know until we get it back to the lab. We're running out of time. The virus back home is moving quicker than any of us could've imagined. :'''Chandler''': How would you know that? We've been radio silent since we left Norfolk. :'''Scott''': Because I have my own sat phone. :'''Chandler''': We were at EMCON so no one would know our position! :'''Scott''': We were at EMCON to protect my mission... Not yours. Orders came from the White House. :'''Chandler''': Well, you led the Russians right to us and endangered my entire crew. :'''Scott''': It was imperative that I stay in contact with the labs back home to keep them informed of my progress. I don't think you understand what we're talking about here. :'''Chandler''': Enlighten me. :'''Scott''': When we left Norfolk, the virus was at Phase Two, limited to small clusters in Asia and Africa. We are now at Phase Six-- global pandemic. 80% of the world's population is infected. The world is sick, Captain Chandler... Very sick. :'''Chandler''': Are you telling me the whole world is dying, and they send two people to save it? :'''Scott''': It took weeks to convince the government to even send me here. Most of my colleagues think that I'm insane. :'''Chandler''': Are you? :'''Scott''': I told you... that what's in that case... might be the only hope that we have. === ''Welcome to Gitmo'' [1.2]=== :''[having secured Guantanamo Bay of the former Al-Qaeda prisoners]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': I don't know how you feel about the water... but we sure could use your services. :'''Tex Nolan''': Where you headed? :'''Chandler''': We got some things to do, but when we're done, we're going home. :'''Nolan''': Yeah, I'll sign up for that. ===''Dead Reckoning'' [1.3]=== :''[Commander Chandler talks to Doctor Scott about Admiral Ruskov's demands]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Who else has been working on a vaccine? :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': What, in the world? Everyone. :'''Chandler''': What about the Russians? Were they close? :'''Scott''': I mean, nobody was making any real progress. And I hate to say it, but they're probably all dead anyway. Why? :'''Chandler''': If somebody had the primordial strain of the virus, the stuff you found in the ice, could they make a vaccine? :'''Scott''': I suppose, if they had the right equipment and someone qualified to run it. But they'd be months behind us. ===''We'll Get There'' [1.4]=== :''[Flashback to Commander Chandler's preparations to leave for the Arctic deployment]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Darien, I'm not going to the Med. Navy's sending us to the Arctic. :'''Darien Chandler''': The Arctic? That's crazy. :'''Tom''': Some cold-weather test on a new weapon system. It's all classified. It's happening very fast. We're gonna be at complete radio silence. No e-mails, no calls. :'''Darien''': For how long? :'''Tom''': Six months, maybe five. :'''Darien''': Figures. :'''Tom''': It's my last tour for a while. Then I'll be around the house so much, you'll be sick of me, I promise. ===''El Toro'' [1.5]=== :''[The team has been caught by el Toro's men]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': I'm guessing you must be El Toro. :'''El Toro''': I am, indeed. And who do I have the pleasure of talking to? :'''Chandler''': Tom Chandler, U.S. Navy. Your men took our weapons, CBR suits, and equipment. We're gonna need 'em back. :'''El Toro''': You won't need your suits. There is no virus here. As for your weapons, I cannot have your men walking around with machine guns. That would frighten my people. :'''Chandler''': Well, I'm afraid that's not acceptable. With respect, I don't have time to debate it. The remainder of my crew, some 200-odd U.S. Navy sailors, await our return aboard our destroyer, U.S.S. Nathan James, currently in the bay at the mouth of the river. We don't return by 2300 hours, they'll come looking. And rest assured, they will find us. ===''Lockdown'' [1.6]=== :''[Chandler talks to the crew over the PA after Dr Scott shows him some prototypes of a Red Flu vaccine]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Good evening, Nathan James. This is the captain. I wanted to inform you all of our progress in the mission. As you know, a small team entered Nicaragua to find primates for Dr. Scott's test, which she hopes will be a vaccine against the virus. While there, we encountered a drug lord who enslaved 150 people. We eliminated his men and we eliminated him, freeing those healthy people there to establish a life for themselves. We also encountered several dozen infected people, including children. Yesterday, we couldn't help them. But perhaps tomorrow, we will be able to, because we came back to the Nathan James with 34 monkeys. Dr. Scott will now conduct her trials on those monkeys. But we... We are not waiting. We're setting a course for home. By the time we get there, we believe Dr. Scott will have a vaccine, and our mission will be completed. Today's a good day. Carry on. ===''SOS'' [1.7]=== :''[Flashback to Oslo, Norway, six months before the outbreak]'' :'''Niels Sorensen''': I don't understand why you won't listen to me. It's a splice overlap PCR reaction with an immune-modulatory gene. It will help the body identify the virus and create antibodies. :'''Professor Lindblom''': Yes, yes. You are young and have a bright career ahead. And don't waste your time with schoolboy science fiction. :'''Sorensen''': The virus is spreading. There are cases being reported beyond the Middle East. It will be in Oslo by winter. It is deadly and will likely mutate. We... :'''Lindblom''': Niels. I am well aware of what's at stake. But what you are proposing is too dangerous. The Australians tried it on mouse pox. It was a complete disaster. :'''Sorensen''': I've already done the experiment. :'''Lindblom''': What? :'''Sorensen''': On myself. :'''Lindblom''': While you were gone. And it worked. :'''Sorensen''': You are mad. :'''Lindblom''': I'm still here. :'''Sorensen''': Absolutely mad. :'''Lindblom''': I'm perfectly healthy. Professor Lindblom, please. :'''Sorensen''': You stay away from my lab. You hear me? I am finished with you! ''[storms off]'' :'''Lindblom''': Professor.. ===''Two Sailors Walk Into a Bar...'' [1.8]=== :''[The Russians have captured Commander Chandler and brought him to Admiral Ruskov aboard the Vyerni]'' :'''ADM Konstantin Ruskov''': I'd like to treat you with the respect your rank affords, but you are going to have to meet me halfway. Now, tell me of Dr. Scott's progress with the vaccine. She's close, right? :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': My name is Thomas Chandler, Commander, United States Navy, serial number 4242022634. :'''Ruskov''': There is no need for that. The Geneva Convention doesn't exist anymore. Hell, ''Geneva'' doesn't exist anymore! ''[laughs]'' Ah... Still won't talk? See, I told you. He would rather go it alone and die than share in the glory of saving the world. Why else would you, the ship's captain, personally lead the mission to save some poor island girl? Like with all tragic heroes, your hubris brought about your downfall. What do you have to say to that, Commander Chandler? :'''Chandler''': My name is Thomas Chandler, Commander, United States Navy, serial number 4242022634. ===''Trials'' [1.9]=== :''[CMC Jeter remembers PO Cossetti]'' :'''Command Master Chief Russ Jeter''': The ceremony will be at 0900. We'll have seven guns and the ensigns at half-mast. It'll be a hero's farewell. :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': He wanted to redeem himself. :'''Jeter''': He never had to. :'''Chandler''': He gave his life for mine. :'''Jeter''': He gave his life for the mission. And now we're free... :'''Chandler''': To finish it. ===''No Place Like Home'' [1.10]=== :''[After seeing that USAMRIID's biological facility has been destroyed, the crew suddenly receives a call from the still-functioning local government]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': This is Tom Chandler, commanding officer of the USS Nathan James, over. :'''Amy Granderson''': Captain Chandler. You have no idea how good it is to hear your voice. We thought you were lost at sea. :'''Chandler''': No, ma'am, we're alive and well. :'''Granderson''': Oh! There you are. I got it. You must be nearby. I'm Amy Granderson. And I suppose an explanation is in order. As vice-chair of the President's defense policy board, I was briefed on your mission to the Arctic. I knew the risks of the coming pandemic, and I had my daughter transferred to your ship. You must forgive me. :'''Chandler''': No apology needed, ma'am. Your daughter's been an incredible asset. Pleased to hear from you. We had no word from the presidential bunker. :'''Granderson''': President Geller invited me underground. I declined. I-I felt the risk was too big to have so much of our civilian and military command in one confined space. Unfortunately, I was right. :'''Chandler''': So the government is gone. :'''Granderson''': For the most part, yes. Since the bunker went silent, there has been a breakdown of infrastructure, general panic, and, of course, a tremendous loss of life. I have tried to execute a contingency plan working with the state and local police to create safe zones. We have been hanging on as best we can. And I have been praying every day for your return. ==Season 2== ===''Unreal City'' [2.1]=== :''[Dr Scott is trying to talk to Amy Granderson]'' :'''Amy Granderson''': We have successfully taken control of the Nathan James. My people are collecting all your work as we speak. Now, with your research and your samples, Dr. Hamada and his team will eventually learn to make the cure themselves. Wouldn't it be better for everyone if you just agreed to work together? :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': Work together? What, on your Darwinian experiment? Save those that you deem worthy and, what, just forget the rest? :'''Granderson''': Perhaps I was overzealous in... "barbarians at the gate," I believe, is what you called them. Doctor, I watched a grown man b*at a 12-year-old boy to death over a gas mask. I saw a woman stab her sister in the back for a can of beans. The apocalypse is here. It's been here for a long time. But I am willing to adjust my philosophy to suit your sensibilities if you just help me get the lab up and running. :'''Scott''': What about the captain? And my friends? :'''Granderson''': The best thing you can do for your friends is to let them know you've decided to cooperate with me. That will end this foolish bloodshed. :'''Scott''':You say you'll help everyone? :'''Granderson''':I will. :'''Scott''': Well, then, prove it. :'''Granderson''': And how do you suggest I do that? :'''Scott''': You're wasting doses here on healthy people. Let me out into the street with what I have left... save people who are already sick. What, you think I'm gonna try to escape? :'''Granderson''': I think it's silly. And given the state of the world, I think it's small. ===''Fight the Ship'' [2.2]=== :''[Mike Slattery addresses the people of Baltimore]'' :'''CDR Mike Slattery''': Attention people of Baltimore. USS Nathan James is back under the control of her crew. This ship is now engaged in the fight to free Baltimore and spread the cure for the Red Flu to all of its citizens. This message goes out to Amy Granderson and all those loyal to her. Nathan James has been liberated and has joined the fight against you. We demand your immediate surrender. Lay down your arms... or be subject to the full force of the United States Navy." <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Nathan James crew and Thorwald's men have gained the upper hand at Avocet and Granderson is cornered trying to escape]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': There are 200 more where I came from. You heard my X.O. We've taken back our ship, this building is ours, and we're telling the people of Baltimore that your kill zone at Olympia is out of business. You have two choices... a trial... or a funeral. :'''Amy Granderson''': ''[to bodyguard]'' I gave you a direct order. Shoot! ''[bodyguard wavers and stands down]'' :'''Bodyguard''': I am not going anywhere with you. :'''Chandler''': I found your daughter lying in a pool of her own blood, shot by your guards, under your order! My children were lined up to be murdered and sent to the ovens, along with thousands of desperate people... all so you can keep the lights on for your select few. :'''Granderson''': You don't know! The virus was spreading! So you get to decide who lives and who dies?! There was panic, Captain, and I remained calm. Everybody was fleeing underground, but I stood firm! There was no plan and I built this. I'm the reason these people have survived this long. :'''Chandler''': Except when you had the cure in hand, you wouldn't stop! You continued killing. It's over. Your grand social experiment is history. I'm offering you the chance. Surrender with honor. :'''Granderson''': And who will judge me? You? :'''Chandler''': Not me. A jury of your peers. Pick up the radio. Stand down your troopers. Shut down Olympia. Turn away your helo and come peacefully. It's the only way for you now. :'''Granderson''': ''[on radio]'' Th-this is Amy...

We've been trying to divide the city into sectors, impose a level of control. We got people holed up in different safe houses... school gym, supermarkets, some of them even running on diesel generators. I don't know if we found them all yet, but we're still in the process of clearing the city. :'''Slattery''': My people are about to head out there soon, try to find their families.

What kind of message are you gonna send to them, that you're, uh, George Washington and you've come back to work on your farm? You think because you got a... a lab in Baltimore and six planes with the cure that everything's in hand? The world is in chaos.

With no connection to the outside world, they were serving as little more than just a diary. But now with the satellite network up and running, they have become my trusty carrier pigeons. I am happy to report that the cure has landed safely in labs across the country and in Europe, and I am on my way to you, Dr. Hunter, my friend, my mentor. We'll be stopping first in Savannah to set up a lab there, before heading down to you in Florida with the cure. As promised, I am uploading my data to the secured satellite, and I would love for you to take a look at the work we've done, and get your thoughts on faster methods for replication. Because time, as you well know, is of the essence, and millions still continue to live at risk.

Everyone's like him? :'''Scott''': I cross-referenced his blood against Bertrise's. Natural immunity, as it turns out, is a tad more common than I initially thought. Anywhere between 1% and 5% of the global population. That's how they took Europe. :'''Chandler''': Now their mission is to destroy the cure wherever it exists, on a nuclear-powered sub that never runs out of fuel. :'''Scott''': Yes, but we had the flash drive.

We're under attack, Rachel, but it's important... It's important that you learn this. I've been working with the data you sent me about the cure. And I think I found a way to help. Using what I learned about the measles project... Now, I know you think that's crazy, but it works. I'm sending you the data now. It's here. Look, I don't... Oh, God. Listen, Rachel. It's all worked out. All you have to do is... I just somehow pray that this file gets to you, that you get it off the server, Rachel.

No. Stand up. :'''Hunter''': Please. Please. ''[killed by gunshot]'' :'''CDR Mike Slattery''': Well, that's how they were able to get the locations of all the labs. Stole them from Dr. Hunter. :'''Scott''': He was working on an experiment to turn my liquid injectable version of the cure into a powder so it could be released over populated areas via helicopters, planes, drones, even. I could manufacture a highly concentrated powder right here on the ship. We wouldn't even need labs anymore. So people could breathe in the cure. It would be very much like crop-dusting. Mass inoculations without glassware, needles, all the infrastructure that we no longer have. :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': Do you think Hunter was actually able to do it? :'''Scott''': I know that he had some good results aerosolizing the measles vaccine, but I won't know until we get down to his lab in Florida. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Dr Rachel Scott has an idea and presents it to Chandler]'' :'''CDR Thomas Chandler''': What's that? :'''Dr Rachel Scott''': ''[Blows]'' Cornstarch from the chief's mess.

Unless you want to be fully informed. I'd like to show you something, if I may. This is from August. She was second in succession... President then. These were her orders to us. ''[plays video file of President Geller]'' :'''President Kelly Geller''': Morning, Commander. I know... the last you heard, I was Speaker of the House. The President died two months ago, the Vice-President a week later. What's left of the Federal Government is holed up 200 feet below the White House. Most of our population, along with our armed forces, is dying or dead. We have no allies, we have no enemies... Just a world of sick, desperate people. If Dr. Scott has the makings of a cure, you must come home... now. :'''Slattery''': We came home. Found things not quite as hospitable as we'd hoped. No infrastructure... No government, no orders. So we went to the White House, and we were able to get our hands on many of the Presidential files and directives. This is the secretary of the Navy. I understand you... You knew him pretty well. ''[plays clip of SECNAV Ray Mabus]'' :'''Ray Mabus''': The U.S. Navy is currently on a mission to find the materials for a vaccine to combat the pandemic. If you're viewing this video, you are part of the new network of facilities in the United States and certain foreign countries, which were chosen to produce and distribute the vaccine. You'll be able to communicate with the civilian command with each other. Hopefully, you'll then start producing and distributing the vaccine, and we can get to the task of rebuilding our great nation. Godspeed. :'''Slattery''': We have the cure, sir. Dr. Scott was able to produce it right here on this ship. Guess you wouldn't have any need for it yourself. The rest of the world, the ones who aren't lucky enough to be naturally immune... We got to Norfolk, we found pilots, we sent doses around the country and to Europe, as we were ordered to do. The project to mass-produce the cure was well under way, and then we ran into some problems. This is a recording made by one of our scientists. He was trying to get a message through to Dr. Scott. ''[replays Dr Hunter's entire desperate message to Rachel]'' You might recognize that Irish accent. Those were Sean Ramsey's people. They gained access to our secret network, the location of all our labs, and they blew them up with their long-range missiles. Destroyed our limited infrastructure, murdered our scientists... All because they believe that they are the inheritors of the earth. That's why Captain Chandler rescued you from the Ramseys. I can only assume you knew nothing about this. I mean, if you did... This is a comprehensive look at Dr. Scott's protocols, experiments, and trials. Complete Captain's logs, combat center records, including our attempt at a response to the Ramseys' assault on our labs. It's not easy to listen to, but I think it'll be informative. I'll let the Captain know that you've been briefed.

Please! That's not what happened! :'''Chandler''': The security details... they were lax! You couldn't have known. He infected everyone in that stadium... it was hot!

I was able to isolate the mutation in Niels' lungs that make him so contagious. And I introduced it to my vaccine. I injected myself with it about an hour ago, and then I breathed on an infected mouse, the same way that Niels used to breath on people as a way to kill them. If this works, if the mouse survives, in effect... I'll be able to breathe the cure onto people. And so will anyone else that I give this new shit to, which means that we won't need any more labs, any more infrastructure, or planes. All our problems will be solved. :'''Chandler''': Except one. ''[Inhales deeply]'' Did you do it? :'''Scott''': ''[scoffs]'' Oh, God.

And now his lungs are gonna be used to save the rest of the people on this planet... :'''Chandler''': Goddamit, Rachel! :'''Scott''': Yes, I did it! And I'd do it again in a beat. :'''Chandler''': I saw you a half-hour before I left the ship. You told me you were on the verge of a breakthrough. :'''Scott''': I was! :'''Chandler''': But you didn't tell me you had to kill Niels to do it. :'''Scott''': I was hoping to avoid getting blood on your hands. :'''Chandler''': I already have blood on my hands.

By now, many of you will have seen the horrible video captured by witnesses on the scene. The US Navy ship that attacked New Orleans harbor was flying the American flag, but it doesn't represent you good people. That ship is a key part of a larger conspiracy to take over this country, and it won't be stopped until you are dead and a new world order is established. I know it's heartbreaking and Difficult to believe. But soon, you will have more evidence of the US Navy's role in creating the deadly virus. That is why we have created this mobile network to get out the truth... I am here to tell you that you are not alone. We Brits have not forgotten our special relationship with America...

I know that you've stayed alive this long by isolating yourselves... And your families, that many of you have been living in fear, Fear of the virus, fear of each other... Fear of the unknown. There have been people out there who have taken advantage of that. Despicable rumors and misleading videos have been broadcast from this network, lies designed to manipulate you, to make you believe that this ship and the people on it are your enemy. Nothing could be further from the truth. The men and women on this ship are some of the bravest, noblest that I have ever met, and it is an outrage that their commitment to bring all of us the cure has been undermined by those who thrive on your fear. I can tell you now that we do have the cure for the Red Flu. Attached to this message is video footage where you can see for yourself our doctor attending and curing patients sick with the virus. It is our mission now to spread this cure to as many of you as we can. At noon tomorrow, the 18th, we expect to land at the docks in Vicksburg, where we will remain in port for six hours. On the 20th, we'll arrive in Tennessee. We have made contact with a few brave citizens at the college of Memphis. Our team will meet people there at 9:00 A.M., again, for a period of six hours. We'll end our journey at 10:00 A.M. the following day, the 21st, at the port of St. Louis.

As usual, I speak to you from the historic Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. On this, the 154th day of my presidency, I'm happy to announce that our American reconstruction plan continues on pace. In fact, if you're hearing me over an electric radio in the four corner states or seeing me for the first time on television, you already know that the Johnson hydroelectric plant is back online, providing consistent power to much of the Southwest. And from all over the country, we have more reports of Americans joining forces to fix the broken pieces of our nation. Yes, the American spirit is alive and well. Today, many of you will receive your newly printed ration cards to be used for all essential purposes. A reminder... These are not a replacement for U.S. currency. We continue to work with the banks to ensure everyone has access to their money and their property, but until our productivity can keep up with demand, these cards will ensure citizens are granted equal access to available goods. We ask for your continued patience and your help with this implementation. Dr. Rachel Scott's murder came as a shock to us all, but she died knowing that she brought life back to this great nation. And her sacrifice will not be forgotten. This St. Louis radio hub will continue to bring you updates and information, along with your local stations as they come online. Of course, I'll be back tomorrow to speak with you directly. Until then, I thank you for your contributions and your courage. This project will succeed because of you.

The presidency, here, in St. Louis with the Chief of Staff and my Secretary of Foreign Affairs chosen from your regions. Senator Beatty with the constitutional authority to ratify certain new laws, and I thank you for that... and an expectation that all of you would try to maintain control over your regions until we sorted out how the boundaries could be drawn or whether or not we needed to elect new governors. Now, we've got congressional elections coming up next month, after which the people, through the voice of the new Congress, can decide whether or not to retain my policies. Until then, I say this... get a handle on your people. If you can't and you really fear rioting, I will not hesitate to use the full force of our armed forces to maintain order in this country. Now, I have a job to do, and so do you. As your president, I advise all of you to get to it.

I hope to God you never see this. But if you do... I wanted you to know... I wake up every day proud of you. Please never forget that. Be brave. Be kind to each other. Help each other whenever you can. And listen to your grandad once in a while. He's a pain, but the older I get, the smarter he seems to be. I wish I could have been there more.

We were successful, but not without losses. Your brother, Javier, was among the three brave sailors who gave their lives in the operation. This was not the first time he put himself in harm's way for his shipmates. And I can honestly say that I'm alive today because of him. Javier was more than a sailor, Maria. He was a hero. He was not alone in his last moments. His last thoughts were of you and his beloved nephews. Javier never gave up and never gave in. And he lives on in the hearts of those of us who were lucky to serve with him.

You can keep fighting us, thinking we're monsters, or you can cooperate, help us figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. :'''Takehaya''': I heard the call over the radio. The Americans are coming with the cure. We rushed to the port, thousands of us. Survivors. The ships arrived. American ships. And we lined up to receive our injections. They told us to spread out, to pass the cure on to the rest of our people. Soon... there was no way to tell who had the cure and who did not.... because everyone died. :'''Chandler''': But other than the U.S. Navy, who had custody of the cargo once it landed? Could someone have tampered with the doses on the pier? :'''Takehaya''': No. :'''Chandler''': How can you be so sure? We delivered to dozens of countries on this ship. We always worked with the local partners... :'''Takehaya''': I was a local partner, Captain. My crew was there. We'd made sure everyone received a dose. I was in charge. I was responsible. :'''Chandler''': That's why you wanted those ships out of Okinawa. That's why you wanted to punish the people that brought you the cure. But why work with Peng? :'''Takehaya''': I did not work with Peng. :'''Chandler''': Oh, come on. The coincidence is too great. You kidnapped my men in Haiphong at precisely the same moment Peng blows up my plane in Hong Kong? :'''Takehaya''': I do not call that coincidence, Captain. I call that luck. <hr width="50%"/> :''[President Michener is forced to come on TV after reports of his gaffe early in the pandemic come to light]'' :'''US President Jeffrey Michener''': My fellow Americans, by now, many of you heard about the reports from Florida and my time spent there. I wanted to take a moment to tell you the truth directly from me. I did not know that my son, Brian, was the carrier of the Red Flu at the time. I did bring him down to Florida from an area that I knew could be infected. As a father, I acted out of desperation. But as a public servant, I was derelict in my duties. Now, as your President, I humbly offer my sincerest apology. :'''Jacob Barnes''': Contrition from the President. Since the release of that statement an hour ago, St. Louis White House remains on virtual lockdown, with no comments from his aides and no further information to support the President's statement. At this time of uncertainty, I will continue to pursue this story wherever it leads.

He could fire those missiles over uncured populations, so when the cure finally does arrive... It doesn't work. :'''Sasha Cooper''': That boat was headed to Taiwan on a run. Jesse saw the missile near Vietnam. :'''Takehaya''': And my wife saw the mist in Japan.

I'd like them to join us. We're gonna need them to take on Peng and what's left of his navy. :'''Oliver''': My understanding is that President Michener once offered you those ships and you turned him down, choosing to run this operation solo. :'''Chandler''': Yes, sir. :'''Oliver''': And since then, you've left a lot of bodies in your wake, many of them American sailors. Captain, we don't know each other well, but you need to know that if my first act in office is to declare war on China, I'd like to base it on something more than the testimony of smugglers and pirates. :'''Chandler''': Of course, sir. :'''Oliver''': Go to this Paraiso island, find the source of these missiles, tie it to Peng, and I'll do everything in my power to help you finish him off.

Kara, you have to remember, we're living in a post-apocalypse. Facts and truths are just as much the victim of this plague as everything else. Right now, the best thing we can do is focus on the American people. :'''Green''': I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting. Can you be more specific? :'''Rivera''': What I'm suggesting, Kara, is that while everyone is looking eastward, our country is collapsing beneath our feet.

Each region must look after itself. :'''Oliver''': Sons of bitches. I knew it. :'''Shaw''': Relax, Howard. This is a good thing. You knew that Michener was moving too fast, that America wasn't healthy enough to go back to the way things were. There are no states. There are no cities. There are only tribes scrambling out of the mud over the bodies of 300 million dead Americans. Face it, Howard... Democracy is a luxury that we can no longer afford. :'''Oliver''': This is crazy. I mean, what the hell are you talking about? :'''Shaw''': By now, Senator Beatty and Secretary Rivera are dead. If you try to contact any of your allies in the city, the consequences will be swift...

Worked my way through the pipeline just to get my chance to lead. Nathan James was my first command. Suddenly... I was thrust into a situation that no one can prepare you for. The world was turned upside-down, and all the rules were thrown out. But... the Navy taught me many things. Most importantly, it taught me to adapt. I had to make some difficult decisions. God knows I made some mistakes. But never once did I waver from what I knew to be right... The core values that run through all of our veins. Honor... courage... commitment. And I served my sailors as they served me and as we all serve this great country of ours. I didn't ask for this. I could've taken this uniform off at any time. But I always believed in the work that we were doing as a team, and the decisions that I was making as a captain. And though my tactics changed to address an insane world... my resolve and my dedication to the Navy never faltered. I stand by my record :''[Slattery and his men enter the room with weapons drawn]'' :'''Meylan''': What the hell is this? ''[sees that the men are all from the Nathan James]'' I see.

Captain, ‭you didn't save the world. You unleashed the worst in human nature. You really want to save the people, you need to terrorize them. You need to take them by the neck and shake them.

It's no fun. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Master Chief Jeter comes to Chandler after he is called out by Captain Meylan for trying to advise on how to get the seeds to the US when he's not even an officer again]'' :'''CMC Russ Jeter''': Captain Meylan's under a lot of pressure. :'''CAPT Tom Chandler''': He was right. I crossed the line. :'''Jeter''': I didn't say he wasn't right. This isn't you. Walking around the ship like you're on a Tiger cruise. Since when did you become a passive observer? :'''Chandler''': Master Chief... :'''Jeter''': Don't Master Chief me, Goddamn it. You wanted to get away. Good. It's what you did. God knows you of all people needed a break. But for months, the rest of us pressed on. The missions changed, but our commitment never wavered. And although you were always in our minds, when you left, we were broken. :'''Chandler''': I lost my way, Russ. :'''Jeter''': You never lost your way. You may have turned your back on your calling, but your path was always right in front of you. It led you back to the ''Nathan James''. This is where you belong. ===''Tempest'' [4.6]=== :''[The man Chandler heard as il Dottore - Paul Vellek - confers with Greek admiral Demetrius on chasing the Nathan James]'' :'''Dr Paul Vellek''': I'll explain it one more time. Look, Admiral, it is right there. It is right there in that blank box. :'''ADM Demetrius''': What exactly am I supposed to be seeing there? It's as clear as a bell. :'''Vellek''': It's the answer, the key, the eye of the hurricane. The proverbial missing link to my formula to save this planet lies within those seeds. Without those seeds, I have no product. Without the product, your country continues to starve. And that is exactly, Admiral, what you should be seeing in that blank box. :'''Demetrius''': Doctor, I am a simple man. I don't have your gift with figures, but my patience can only last so long. You asked for our support. Greece gives you her confidence. You asked for fighters, we give you a warship. What, Dr. Vellek? What do you ask of my country now? :'''Vellek''': More, Demetrius. I'm asking your country for more. ===''Feast'' [4.7]=== :''[at a lab]'' :'''Christos Vellek''': Well? :'''Dr. Paul Vellek''': You see? I told you. ''[puts arm over Christos' shoulder]'' We did it. :'''Christos''': Tell us, Papa. :'''Paul''': The virus weathered two ice ages. It didn't just jump species, it jumped kingdoms, and it unleashed the most massive twin pandemic the world has ever known. Yet this seed, this small palm, ''Elaeis Virilis'', survived all of it. I'm now going to take a bit of the genius of Mother Nature, I am going to mix it with my own, and I'm going to save this planet in an act of such benevolence that people will question why they ever believed in any other God. <hr width="50%"/> :'''ADM Demetrius''': Something's wrong with me. I can feel it. :'''Dr Paul Vellek''': Can you now? Well, I've switched off a single primal compulsion in you, Demetrius. An ugly one. I've freed you, man. :'''Demetrius''': I must go home to my people, Doctor. They need me. :'''Vellek''': No, no, no, no, no, no, Admiral. You're staying with me now. You, sir, are proof of concept. The inaugural man... ''homo Pacificus''. And judging by the result, I'd say we're onto something. Stand up. Stand up. Take off your medals. You're no longer in charge. Take 'em off. Take 'em off. ''[Demetrius strips uniform and medals]'' Stavros will be taking your rank, your title, and your nation. It all belongs to him now and to me. As Dante, an Italian, said about Aristotle, a Greek, I am ''Il maestro dicolor che sanno.'' "The master... of all who know." What do you think about that, Demetrius? :'''Demetrius''': I... I... :'''Vellek''': Down, Demetrius. Sit down. Finish your food. ===''Lazaretto'' [4.8]=== :''[Chandler debriefs Vulture team after they escape the Velleks' training base]'' :'''CAPT Tom Chandler''': So Vellek isn't just injecting the fighters with Nostos, he's baking it right into their food. :''LT Danny Green'': It appears so, sir. :'''CAPT Mike Slattery''': So that's why he wanted the seeds. He cures the Red Rust, mixes in the Nostos to create food that'll pacify his enemies. :'''Chandler''': It's the perfect weapon. People eating it won't even know. :'''Slattery''': Well, even if they did, what choice would they have? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Fletcher suddenly makes a distress call to the Nathan James]'' :'''CDR James Fletcher''': I say again, Nathan James, this is Commander James Fletcher. You were right. A biological weapon, something to do with behavior control. I'm not sure exactly how he's planning on using it, but we're in a warship headed to Malta. I say again, we're headed to Malta. You must stop him. You're the only ones who can. I know this doesn't make things right. You must believe me, I only did this to serve my country. Sasha, I'm so sorry I hurt you. I hope even if you don't forgive me, that you'll understand. I never meant to hurt - ''[signal is cut]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Christos is at the lab with Dr Vellek]'' :'''Christos Vellek''': Hey, Dad. :'''Dr. Paul Vellek''': Christos, I was worried about you. :'''Christos''': What are you worried about? Nostos blended seamlessly with the Red Rust cure. No need for injections. One plant contains it all. :'''Paul''': Huh. :'''Christos''': You really did it. :'''Paul''': I did it, didn't I? :'''Christos''': It's gonna be a bumper crop. :'''Paul''': The secret was in just one base pair on the fourth DNA strand of ''Elaeis virilis [holds container]'', our beautiful palm seed. Come and look at it. It's magnificent. Come on, come on. ''[ushers Christos to microscope]'' Okay, it's just one...one switch, A to G. :'''Christos''': Whoa. :'''Paul''': No, look, look, look, look. It's one switch, A to G, on that one base pair. That's it. That's it. Nothing more complicated than that. But I-I-I-I'm making it so complicated. :''[Giorgio Vellek enters the lab and looks at his father, revealing that he is just talking to himself; Christos only exists in his head]'' :'''Paul''': I mean, I can't believe I'm making it so complicated. It's like a schoolboy could have figured this out. And yet it got by me. It got by you. It's magnificent. ''Semplice. [in Italian as he embraces Christos]'' You are the most magnificent son. ''[English as Giorgio walks off]'' Love you. Love you, love you, love you, love you more than olives, and I really love olives. Let me look. God. It's magnificent, huh? ==Season 5== ===''Casus Belli'' [5.1]=== :''[Admiral Chandler lectures in the US Naval Academy about the Peloponnesian War]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': This is how war begins. Athens and Sparta fought during a plague which wiped out much of the population. - Sound familiar? But the war brought only more death and destruction because people let their fear, their honor, their interest cloud their judgment. The Peloponnesian War may be ancient history, but its lessons are not. You here will be the first graduating class of midshipmen to enter the Navy since our own troubles ended just three years ago. We're in a time of peace, but peace doesn't keep itself. Ours is a small navy, which means... your importance to the mission is even larger. And you will take the lessons from history, both ancient and very recent, with you as you enter service. When you put on the uniform, you can't let your fear or your pride or your selfish interest lead you astray, or people die. We have to think differently because we are different. We are warriors. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Tavo Barros makes a speech in the wake of the Fleet Week sneak attack]'' :'''President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': I will now speak directly to our enemies in a language they can understand. Americans, you are on notice. The people of Central and South America are united! We will no longer cower in fear of your big stick. For you do not offer us protection, but enslavement. Today marks the beginning of a new equilibrium. Gran Colombia will no longer sit at the children's table of international politics. It is our turn! Be warned. If the United States wants a fight, you will lose. For in the words of [[Simón Bolívar]], a people who love their freedom will, in the end, be free. And we are united... as a continent... to fight for that freedom. We are one nation under God! ''La Gran Colombia! Al Norte!'' ===''Fog of War'' [5.2]=== :''[Commander Green address the Nathan James crew]'' :'''CDR Kara Foster-Green''': Many of you here are new to the Navy... new to this ship. Some of you, we've been here before. Either way, what happened in Mayport is not something you ever get used to. It hurts. And it was meant to hurt. That's what our enemy wanted to do. And today, he succeeded. It caught us off guard, sent a powerful message, trying to shake our resolve. But a war isn't lost because we're hurt. For over three years, the United States Navy has built, sustained, and protected its war-fighting culture. This attack doesn't change that. In fact, it will once again bring out the best in us. Our enemies have underestimated us. And if you doubt that, look back at the past few years. Look at the people who've been on this ship. When trouble arises, we have proven time and time again, no matter the enemy, no matter the odds, one ship can do it. This ship can do it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Admiral Chandler summons to US SOUTHCOM a USNA midshipman who submitted a term paper to him about a future cyberattack]'' :'''Midshipman Clayton Swain''': Admiral Chandler? :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': Mr. Swain, before the planes came, the US was the victim of a cyberattack. It killed our satellites, shut down our anti-access and area denial systems, and destroyed weapons control on all our networked assets... ships, tanks, planes, helos, Aegis, and missile silos. :'''Swain''': Whoa. :'''Chandler''': Your theory was correct. Grab your things and come with me. You're gonna be here awhile. Do you need to call anyone? :'''Swain''': I forgot to ask. :'''Chandler''': Are you married? Do you live with your folks? :'''Swain''': No, sir. I'm not married, and, uh, my parents died in the plague. :'''Chandler''': Right. :'''Swain''': You wrote that U.S. military installations were extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. :'''Chandler''': That was my conclusion, sir. It had to do with the number of nodes and the redundancies... :'''Swain''': I need you to find the virus, where it came from, and how to get rid of it. You'll be working with Commander Granderson. Good luck, Mr. Swain. :'''Chandler''': Oh. Raise your right hand. POTUS usually does this, but he's not here, so... Do you solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” :'''Swain''': I do. :'''Chandler''': Congratulations, ''Ensign'' Swain. You are now a member of the United States Navy. Get to work. <hr width="50%"/> :''[US SOUTHCOM and Admiral Chandler is informed of a call from the Nathan James broadcast in the clear]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': This isn't a secure channel, Mike. :'''ADM Mike Slattery''': Yeah, I know. I finally got around to reading your favorite book. You got your copy handy? :'''Chandler''': Hold on. Ensign Swain, do you have your copy of "Moby-Dick"? :'''ENS Clayton Swain''': Yes, sir. :'''Chandler''': We've got it. :'''Slattery''': Turn to page 366, nine paragraphs down. Last words. :'''Chandler''': Working on it. :'''Slattery''': This is how we're gonna have to communicate for the time being. :'''Chandler''': Understood. Smart play, Mike. Well? What's the message? :'''Swain''': "Fit for a fight." :'''Chandler''': We've got it. :'''Slattery''': Tom, is the message clear? :'''Chandler''': Yes, it is. We read you loud and clear. :'''Slattery''': We'll be in touch. ===''El Puente'' [5.3]=== :''[A spitball incident in the Nathan James mess hall between the Cuban and Mexican envoys gets too personal and the crew tries hard to separate them]'' :'''ADM Mike Slattery''': Now, you listen to me. You and your men are gonna cut this shit out, you're gonna bury the hatchet. you're gonna make a deal, or I promise you, you will be swimming home. Escort them to the wardroom. Move! <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Nathan James successfully fights off a Gran Colombian airstrike]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': This is Nathan James, calling Gustavo Barros. We just took out your airwing, and you didn't lay a glove on us. And you can mark that up along with your Corvette. Payback for Mayport. You may have hit us hard, but you didn't finish us. You know why? Because you can't. And now Mexico and Cuba have joined the fight. So this message goes out to all of Central and South America. There is a choice now. Join us. Send Gustavo back into the dirt hole he crawled out of. We fight for peace. But make no mistake... we will fight. And this ship and this crew? They're damn good at it. So, Gustavo... come at us again. I dare you. This is Nathan James. Out. ''[to bridge crew]'' Now, they know who we are, where we are. Let's be ready for what they throw at us. :'''Bridge crew''': Aye, sir. :'''Chandler''' Nobody's talking about going home now. It's a good day. ===''Tropic of Cancer'' [5.4]=== :''[Alisha Granderson has figured out that the Fleet Week cyberattack was attributed to Kelsi visiting her in the office two days before - and confronts her at home]'' :'''CDR Alisha Granderson''': I didn't want to believe it. All those questions. "Is Nathan James okay?" "Is Tom Chandler alive?" "Tell me, tell, me, tell me." You used me as a weapon. How long? :'''Kelsi Baker''': Since before we met. :'''Granderson''': Why? How?! :'''Baker''': It was my duty. Surely, you can understand that. :'''Granderson''': You're insane. :'''Baker''': I'm insane? No. Insane is believing in lies and closing your eyes to the truth. Insane is having blind faith in a corrupt power structure. No, we need... What the people yearn for is an awakening. Have you heard Tavo speak? Have you heard his message? "The first step towards tyranny" "is to believe" "the government will take care of everything." :'''Granderson''': Kelsi, did I mean nothing to you? :'''Baker''': Oh, I did care about you, Alisha. You should know that. And for awhile there, I thought I loved you, but... you and me, what we are... That doesn't even matter. Not now. ===''Warriors'' [5.5]=== :''[As Vulture team tries to hide in a Jamaican rum cellar from Gran Colombia invasion forces, Chandler talks to war strategist Dr Manuel Montano]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': I was gonna wait till we were on the flight home, but it looks like we got a couple minutes, so let's take some time. You're the architect of Gustavo's war machine. What's the sequel to Plan Azul? Haiti, Puerto Rico, Bahamas? :'''Dr Manuel Montano''': I fight for the Latin American people. So that we will no longer be dependent on the whims of the north. :'''Chandler''': Now you sound like your boss. :'''Montano''': You're a man of war, Admiral. And a professor, as I understand. You tell me... how many invasions, bombs, coups, CIA black ops, and other interventions does it take before people push back? :'''Chandler''': America's not your enemy. :'''Montano''': America is a continent, not a country, Admiral. Learn that... maybe you'll understand La Revolución. Gustavo's not a revolutionary. He's not fighting to right old wrongs. :'''Chandler''': He's a strong man and an opportunist, and he's killing more of your people than ours. :'''Montano''': I did not say I support Gustavo. :'''Chandler''': You're not in Jamaica guarding Gustavo's secrets. You're running away. :'''Montano''': Yes, Admiral. :'''Chandler''': In another of the great post-plague ironies, one of the great strategists of war has become a pacifist. :'''Montano''': The first time I heard him speak was in his home town. A little place called Rubi. He was a man of humble beginnings, speaking of hope, belonging... Listening to Tavo was a revelation. He put words to the pain and the shame of the South American experience... all we'd been feeling for so long. The plans we made together were going to do great good. :'''Chandler''': So what changed? :'''Montano''': Tavo changed. :'''Chandler''': Or he stopped hiding his true intentions. :'''Montano''': And it wasn't just rebels being killed, it was whole villages... anyone who fed into Tavo's paranoia. You can only see a child be burned alive so many times before you question your part in it all. :'''Chandler''': You know his next moves. Help me stop him, help me end this. :'''Montano''': If I help you, will that save my nation? :'''Chandler''': If you don't, will your nation still be worth saving? :'''Montano''': If I join you... I'm still an instrument of death. The only difference is the person delivering it. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Flashback to a scene at the Chandler home. Admiral Chandler is in a heated argument with daughter Ashley]'' :'''ADM Thomas Chandler''': I just don't know what it is you're telling me. What are you telling me? ''[Ashley walks off]'' Get back here, I'm talking to you! Come back here, I'm talking to you. :'''Ashley Chandler''': Mom knew it, too! She knew you hated being home. You were never happy unless you were on your damn ship! :'''Tom''': I'm sorry I'm the one you got stuck with. I'm sorry your mom died! :'''Ashley''': And you weren't here. :'''Tom''': Ashley. Ashley.... :'''Ashley''': You don't belong here. You belong out there. ===''Air Drop'' [5.6]=== :''[Gustavo Barros is interviewed]'' :'''Reporter''': I'm curious if your thinking has changed or if you regret starting a war with the United States. :'''President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': We didn't start this war. :'''Reporter''': You sank a US fleet in Mayport on the very day that your loyalists murder the duly-elected leader of Panama. That sounds textbook. :'''Barros''': Mayport wasn't an attack, nor was it the beginning. You're young, but smart enough to know the US's history of murder and political insurrection in Latin America. [[w:1954 Guatemalan coup d'état|Guatemala '54]], [[w:Bay of Pigs invasion|Cuba '61]], [[w:Dominican Civil War|D.R.

This war is a battle for the survival of the people of Gran Colombia. :'''Reporter''': So, is this your justification for the forced conscription, the purges, the death squads? :'''Barros''': Where do you get this information from? :'''Reporter''': Several accounts from defectors... :'''Barros''': Defectors from what? Our borders are not closed. People are free to come and go as they wish. :'''Reporter''': Their accounts are remarkably consistent. :'''Barros''': This isn't a war of public opinion. This is about taking a fresh look at the world... Post-virus, post-famine. It's about adjusting the balance. United States have been bullies for too long. This movement is a rebirth. Take your camera and your notepad and go to the countryside. Go to the cities of Central and South America and see the pride in people's faces. Freedom from tyranny is what they demanded. And it's what I'm giving them. And I'm inviting the people of all of the Americas to join. ===''Courage'' [5.9]=== :''[General Hector Martinez is summoned along with the entire Gran Colombia high command to dinner with President Barros, but when he notices that the other generals are absent...]'' :'''President Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': Bad news, Hector. The generals? They were plotting against me. :'''General Hector Martinez''': Who, Tavo? :'''Barros''': Eat, Hector. Gazpacho shouldn't be allowed to warm to room temperature. It's good. :'''Martinez''': There must be a mistake. You're telling me there was a coup amongst my generals? :'''Barros''': ''Your'' generals? I hope they aren't your generals, Hector. No. They're cowards. And I warned you against them. :'''Martinez''': ''[Spanish]'' Are you sure? I've known these men a very long time. I would have heard something. :'''Barros''': There is no mistake, Hector. :'''Martinez''': So you have proof? :'''Barros''': Conchita saw it. In the cards. :'''Martinez''': Tavo. We cannot play with men's lives. These cards cannot always be trusted. :'''Barros''': They confessed. Chacon, Bianchi, Rodriguez, Munos, Moreno. Every single one of them. :'''Martinez''': Oh, my God. :'''Barros''': But it doesn't matter, not really. All I wanted to know... the only thing I asked them before I removed their intestines was, did Hector know? Of course, none of them gave you up. But they gave each other up real quick. But you? Not you. Then I started feeling bad. For doubting you. ''[sees Maza distraught]'' It's... it's okay. :'''Martinez''': No, no, no, no. With all the pressure from the war, I've... :'''Barros''': I know I've gone a little crazy. And I'm sorry about that. :'''Martinez''': You don't have to apologize, Tavo. I support you. Always. :'''Barros''': Of course you do. Of course, I know. That is why I want you to lead the investigation to see just how far down this conspiracy goes. I want it torn out by the roots! :'''Martinez''': ''Sí'', Tavo. I will handle it personally. Like always. :'''Barros''': Like always. Conchita. ''[Conchita leaves]'' Hector, my friend. My brother. ''[Barros' bodyguard suddenly stabs Martinez]'' If you're gonna stab a man in the back, the least that you can do is look him in the eye! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Nina talks to Admiral Chandler about the war film showing for the sailors and Marines on the eve of the Gran Colombia invasion]'' :'''Nina Garside''': Guess Gator's got the right idea. Try and keep their minds off things, even just for a few hours. So, tell me, Admiral. What's going through your head on the night before D-Day? :'''Admiral Chandler''': Nathan James. :'''Garside''': The ship? :'''Chandler''': The sailor. Ship's namesake. Captain Nathan James skippered a PT boat during the war in the Pacific. His fleet was decimated. His boat was all that was left standing against nine Japanese destroyers. The boat sank beneath him. Not before he stopped the enemy's advance. He single-handedly saved a fleet of newly-repaired American destroyers coming out of Pearl Harbor carrying thousands of sailors into the fight. Captain James said, "war is a beast." It appears in many forms. Sometimes it's the beast you face head on, out on the field of battle. As equals. Sometimes the beast hides out. Lurking somewhere in the deep, biding its time "until, when your guard is dropped, it comes for you." "Bloodthirsty and merciless." "And it drags you under. On any given day, you never know which beast you're gonna face." :'''Garside''': Which beast is it for you, Admiral? ===''Commitment'' [5.10]=== :''[Sasha Cooper and Danny Green have cornered Gustavo Barros]'' :'''Gustavo "Tavo" Barros''': Where is he...

Federales found him dead at the scene. But they got Salamanca. :'''Gus:''' The mercenaries are dead. To a man. And yet their mission was a success? :'''Mike:''' It has been known to happen. Now you go down there and get Varga, bring him home safe. There's ways to do it on the quiet. :''[Long pause; Gus and Tyrus both stare at him.]'' :'''Mike:''' ''[scoffs]'' ...Unless you already have something in the works. :''[Tyrus turns and exits the trailer. Mike and Gus speak alone.]'' :'''Gus:''' Speak your mind. :'''Mike:''' Loyalty goes both ways. Varga's done everything you asked him. :'''Gus:''' He wasn't given a choice. :'''Mike:''' Maybe so, but he played a tough game. And he played it on the square. :'''Gus:''' ...And? :'''Mike:''' When all is said and done, the kid deserves your respect. :'''Gus:''' He has it. Is there more you wish to say? :''[After a long pause, Mike exits the trailer.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy and Kim have dinner at a diner; conversation turns to the Ford Taurus that Jimmy has rented.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' I rented us a car. It's the Ford. :'''Kim:''' So Saul Goodman drives a brown Ford Taurus? :'''Jimmy:''' Detroit calls that taupe, I believe. :'''Kim:''' Don't you think Saul Goodman would drive something with a little more... flair? :'''Jimmy:''' Such as? :'''Kim:''' I don't know. Definitely American-made. Something showy. And Saul Goodman has an office. Something eye-catching. Good location. :'''Jimmy:''' By the courthouse? :'''Kim:''' Yeah. A cathedral of justice. :'''Jimmy:''' ''Ooooh'', a cathedral of justice. Okay, yeah. :'''Kim:''' We should start looking for something for you. I mean, for Saul. :'''Jimmy:''' Sold. When do we start? <hr width="50%"/> :''[At the courthouse, Jimmy is confronted by the district attorney who prosecuted Lalo during his bail hearing]'' :'''ADA Khalil''': I've been calling you for two days. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, my girl's out sick. What can I do you for? :'''ADA Khalil''': Tomorrow morning, 10 A.M. :'''Jimmy''': Brunch? But just you and me, right? ''[points at Detective Roberts]'' I mean, won't the big fella here feel like a third wheel? :'''ADA Khalil''': You and I are meeting Parson in chambers. I am asking for an emergency hearing to alter the terms of De Guzman's release. :'''Jimmy''': Sounds like a blast. Unfortunately, I'm booked solid. :'''Detective Roberts''': I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte. The family that showed at the bail hearing can't be located. No driver's license, no tax rolls, no school records. Nothing. The fact is, there isn't a single Elizabeth McKinnon under the age of 73 living in New Mexico. :'''Jimmy''': Well, this is–this is surprising. :'''ADA Khalil''': Your client has disappeared, and I'm not waiting six weeks to start looking for him. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, my guy put up seven million in bail. You think he's just gonna walk away from that? :'''Detective Roberts''': Who comes up with seven million bucks in cash? :'''ADA Khalil''': You know what I think? I think the family was fake. ''[to Jimmy]'' And I think you knew it the whole time. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, hold up. Just get real for a second. The hearing didn't go your way, and now you're trying for a do-over? You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. ''Career-ending'' prosecutorial misconduct! :'''Detective Roberts''': None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! ''[points at ADA Khalil]'' You got two dozen lawyers up there! You got investigators—you got the whole damn police force—and it's ''my'' fault that you can't keep track of Lalo?! ''That is '''not''' my job!'' :'''ADA Khalil''': Lalo? Who's Lalo? :'''Jimmy''': What?! ''[blinks hard]'' What did I say... I meant De Guzman. I have more than one client! ''[chuckles]'' So...

So Saul, can I get you anything before we get started? The coffee here is just unbeatable. :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, well, I'm fine. I'm fully caffeinated. :''[Kevin Wachtell walks into the room and becomes upset upon seeing Jimmy in the lounge.]'' :'''Norm:''' Well Saul, you and I are standing on hallowed ground.

How's it going? :'''Norm:''' Uh, I'm sorry. I'm sure this will just be a moment. :''[Norm goes over to Kevin and talks to him for a few moments, clearly being instructed to remove Jimmy from the premises.]'' :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman. I'm so sorry, but I've just been reminded that in fact we have a two-year waiting list. :'''Jimmy:''' Two years, wow. Maybe I could go on the tour anyway. I mean, 'cause I'm here. Just in case. :'''Norm:''' Well unfortunately, we've suspended tours for the moment. :'''Jimmy:''' You're not even giving tours? :'''Norm:''' I apologize for the inconvenience. We–we'll be happy to call you if the situation changes. You left your number? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh-huh. :'''Norm:''' Well, we'll be in touch. If the situation changes. Again, I–I am sorry for your time and trouble. We just– ''[sighs]'' We had a few crosswires. :'''Jimmy:''' Well... okay then. :'''Norm:''' Thank you. :''[Jimmy is about the leave the lounge, but impulsively stops, turns around, and approaches Norm again.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' I'm sorry. :'''Norm:''' Oh, yes. :'''Jimmy:''' Um, just so I understand: you were going to give me a tour and then realized you don't need new members? :'''Norm:''' We have a waiting list. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, but you're the membership director... :'''Norm:''' I know. :'''Jimmy:''' ...so you would have known that before. It doesn't really add up. I mean, I came in and everyone was rolling out the red carpet, and then all of a sudden something changed. I don't– :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman, I– :'''Jimmy:''' ''Goodman.'' The name. The second you heard it, everything turned on a dime. Wow. Waiting list? I think you're talking about an ''exclusion'' list. It's okay, I should have known. Because, I mean, look! ''[raises his voice and walks to the middle of the lounge, where everyone can see him]'' It's wall-to-wall mayonnaise in here! So listen, if you're going to be restrictive, have the courage to say so! :'''Norm:''' There's no question– :'''Jimmy:''' There it is, folks!

Gold star for you. :''[Kevin, flanked by two of his golf buddies, interjects.]'' :'''Kevin:''' Hold on. That's gotta be the biggest load of horse crap I've ever heard in my life. Go crawl back in your hole, McGill or Goodman – whatever you're calling yourself. What are you up to, anyway? Ginning up another one of your put-up job lawsuits? You two-faced, blackmailing, money-grubbing son of a bitch– :'''Jimmy:''' Money-grubbing! You're saying the quiet part out loud, I think. :'''Norm:''' Gentlemen, can we just keep the volume down? :'''Kevin:''' You know damn well that's not what I meant! :'''Jimmy:''' In this day and age, I'd hoped and prayed we'd be beyond this. :'''Kevin:''' You're about as Jewish as my Aunt Fannie! :'''Jimmy:''' Five-thousand years and it never ends! :''[Kevin tries to take a swing at Jimmy, but is held back by his golf buddies.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Here it is! Violence! It always comes to this!'' :'''Norm:''' Mr. Wachtell, please! :'''Kevin's Buddy:''' Come on, Kev. :'''Kevin:''' ''[to Jimmy]'' You go to hell, you lying sack of shit. :''[Kevin and his golf buddies leave the lounge.]'' :'''Norm:''' Sir. Mr. Goodman, I don't know what to say. That is not– :'''Jimmy:''' I wouldn't be a member here. I wouldn't walk through those doors again after what happened to me here today. ''[feigns tears]'' Do you at least have a bathroom that I could use, seeing as how my– Stress like that is hell on my diverticulitis. :'''Norm:''' The men's locker room is the closest. It's straight through there. :'''Jimmy:''' And I would be allowed to go in there? :'''Norm:''' Yes, of course. :'''Jimmy:''' I want you to know I don't blame you personally.

There's a sweet spot, you know. Like a magnet. We–we pull Cliff in, and then repel him. ''[beat]'' Oh! :'''Jimmy''': What? :'''Kim''': ''[sighs]'' You are going to ''hate'' this... <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy tracks down the Kettlemans to their shady tax preparation office and tries to rope them into his and Kim's plan to ruin Howard]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[to Jimmy]'' You've got some nerve coming here after what you did! ''[shoves Jimmy]'' ''Leave!'' Because of you, we lost ''everything!'' Our kids are in public school! So why don't you go crawl back under whatever slime-covered rock you came from and leave us the heck alone?! :'''Jimmy''': Okay, I sense some anger here, but that's–that's perfectly understandable. Since you brought it up, I came here today because I was curious if you two wanted your lives back. There's actually a legal term for it: Exoneration. :'''Craig''': Oh. You know, we actually did look into that. :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Craig''': We went to a number of lawyers, and— :'''Betsy''': ''Real'' lawyers. :'''Craig''': Yes. They were all terrific, but they said that it was impossible. :'''Betsy''': ''Mm-hmm''. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, but those lawyers don't know what I know. :'''Craig''': What's that? :'''Betsy''': No, Craig. He's got an angle. :'''Jimmy''': I ''do'' have an angle, Craig. It's an angle called justice. ''[Betsy scoffs and snickers]'' Let me put it this way: I think that within Craig's case, I have found the grounds for a civil suit. A big one. ''[pause; quietly]'' Big. :'''Betsy''': ''[long pause; looks at Craig]'' Okay, then. Let's hear it. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hold your horses, because we've been down this road before. [[w:Uno (Better Call Saul)|And the last time I gave you two advice, you went straight to the competition with it.]] ''[pulls out a piece of paper from inside his suit]'' So, I just need some assurances that all my hard work isn't gonna end up in the hands of, uh, Clifford Main or some other asshole at some pretentious high-pay, white-shoe law firm. So before we talk turkey, letters of engagement. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, you remember these. I made some updates, just closed a few loopholes and whatnot. So... ''[holds out paper and pen]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[stops Craig from taking the pen]'' We're not signing anything. :'''Jimmy''': You have to sign if you want to know what I know. :'''Betsy''': ''We're not signing.'' :'''Jimmy''': Really? You're sure? :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Jimmy''': Craig? :'''Craig''': ''[looks at Betsy before shaking his head]'' Thanks anyway. :'''Jimmy''': ''[unclicks pen]'' Alright. Well, uh... Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made. ''[turns his back to Craig for him to sign the letter]'' Here you go. :'''Betsy''': ''[after Craig signs the letter]'' So what do you know? :'''Jimmy''': You got one, too, Betsy. ''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?! The second you say where you got this information from, guess who automatically gets a cut?! ''Me! So go ahead! Go ahead, see what happens!'' :''[Jimmy pretends to be upset after the Kettlemans leave, but slowly starts smiling as he walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus and Juan Bolsa visit Hector at Casa Tranquila to send their condolences, still believing that Lalo is dead. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Bolsa''': He wishes to make amends. At least hear him out. :'''Gus''': Don Hector. It's no secret that I did not see eye to eye with your nephew. And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him. And then your family will have justice. :''[Hector slowly reaches his hand out to Gus. As Gus holds his hand, he notices a change of expression on Hector's face and stares at him.

Oh, wait! Okay, just take a breath, and then we can... Okay, okay. I can tell you're upset. Just... I–I never advised that. No. ''[sighs]'' No, I did not, so let's agree to disagree. ''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down. Let me find him, bring him back before the Salamancas sweep him up. It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit. I've been calling Varga for hours. He hasn't picked up once. :'''Mike''': He's been trying to get me since he left the Salamancas. ''[opens phone]'' You want me to answer it? :''[Tyrus turns to Gus, who nods. Mike answers the phone and speaks to Nacho]'' :'''Mike''': Yeah. ''[pause]'' Yeah. ...Not my call.

I don't know anything about schemes or character assassination or whatnot, but... ''[clears throat]'' if you're feeling slighted, we can make it right.

I'm guessing you want something. :'''Betsy:''' Do what you promised. :'''Jimmy:''' Do what I what? :'''Betsy:''' Exonerate Craig. Get his good name back. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright. Well, as you've been advised, for a number of reasons that's not gonna happen. :'''Betsy:''' It ''is'' gonna happen. It is. It's... You're just gonna have to figure out a way. :'''Craig:''' If anyone can do this, it's you. :'''Betsy:''' I know you don't want us going to Howard Hamlin. Because whatever it is you're up to, I'm sure he would be ''very'' interested. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, let's just go easy on the threats. :'''Betsy:''' We want our lives back! The way they were before.

Good to hear from you. :'''Kim:''' How are Noreen and the boys? :'''Justin:''' Oh, hanging in. Noreen always talks about having you by for dinner some time. :'''Kim:''' We should do that. Tell her to call me. Listen, I was wondering who your CID officer is these days. :'''Justin:''' You have something for us? :'''Kim:''' Oh, I just might: Tax preparer fraud. A lot of it. :'''Justin:''' I'm listening. :'''Kim:''' Well, it's this, uh, run-down little mom-and-pop outfit I've had my eye on for a while. ''[chuckles]'' Don't ask me why. Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it. Talk soon. :'''Betsy:''' You don't have to do this. :'''Kim:''' ''[to Betsy]'' Don't I? Betsy... You'll probably get twenty-four months, maybe eighteen with good behavior. But Craig? You are a two-time loser. They will definitely make an example out of you. Each false return they discover will be a separate felony. What are we talking? A hundred? :'''Betsy:''' Uh... :'''Kim:''' Two-hundred? :'''Tony:''' ''[beat]'' CID, Anthony Oropallo speaking. :''[Betsy runs to the phone and slams down the receiver to end the call]'' :'''Betsy:''' Please.

And then after that, you're going to forget you ever heard the name Howard Hamlin. I'm keeping my eye on both of you. You think you've lost everything?

Whoever you think you saw&ndash; :'''Cliff:''' Yeah, sorry, but that's the kind of thing my son used to say. It was your Jaguar, your "Namaste" plate. It was you! Howard, there's no harm in asking for help. You got a lot of people in your corner. :'''Howard:''' So there's the-the baggie at the county club. :'''Cliff:''' Yes. :'''Howard:''' After that, some clients&ndash;who you can't name because of privilege&ndash;make insinuations. Then on Thursday, you have a business meeting and you witness a Jaguar speeding past. ''[beat]'' Who were you meeting with? :'''Cliff:''' Not sure why that's germaine, but... Kim Wexler. She came to me for career advice. :''[Howard's face becomes awash with realization]'' :'''Howard:''' ''Mmm.'' All right. ''[pause]'' Okay. ''[takes out his cell phone]'' Of course. ''[scoffs]'' Of course. ''[to Cliff]'' Cliff, I know this wasn't easy for you. You came to me as a friend. I appreciate it. :'''Cliff:''' You can start today, Howard. :'''Howard:''' Oh, I will. Because you're right, I ''do'' have a problem. Just not the problem you think. I have a Jimmy McGill problem. :'''Cliff:''' Jimmy McGill?! :'''Howard:''' You'll have to excuse me. :'''Cliff:''' Howard! :'''Howard:''' ''[to his secretary on the phone]'' Julie. Cancel my week.

''[sighs]'' That's—that's very street of you. :'''Howard''': I thought it sounded like a Saul Goodman kind of case. :'''Jimmy''': ...Alright, so what are we doing here? :'''Howard''': I'm tired, Jimmy. You and me, us. I'm tired of this. Aren't you? It's exhausting. ''[points at boxing ring behind him]'' Let's punch it out. :'''Jimmy''': ''[chuckles]'' Are you kidding? :'''Howard''': Dead serious. Hoping you might get it out of your system. Do I think it'll work? ''[shrugs]'' I don't know. Call it a Hail Mary. I have the gear, I rented the ring. It's just you and me... ''[points at the man standing behind Jimmy]'' and Macky to ref. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' I am sorry, but have you lost your mind? :'''Howard''': Actually, I'm as clear-headed as I've ever been in my life. You didn't even try to hide your tracks. The baggie of drugs at the country club, the clients you sent to discredit me, ''another'' prostitute. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, once again as usual, I— :'''Howard''': Please. I could go on. All roads lead back to you. It's Psych 101. You want to get caught. :'''Jimmy''': So what? Is this like pistols at dawn? :'''Howard''': I'm trying to give you what you want. :'''Jimmy''': What I want? I don't... I think this is what ''you'' want. You wanna beat the shit out of me? Legally? :'''Howard''': I think you can hold up your end. You must've gotten into a few good scrapes in your old neighborhood. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, right. I could've been a contender. :'''Howard''': Indulge me. Let's see what we see. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause; smiles]'' Thanks for the laughs.

They both land a few punches on each other, but Howard eventually knocks Jimmy down]'' :'''Howard''': ''[to Jimmy]'' You've mistaken my kindness for weakness. I like to think that tonight made a difference. I like to think that this ends it. ''[pause; shakes his head]'' Probably not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': I should've left Howard standing there like a yutz. Instead I let him suck me into his game. Why did I do that? :'''Kim''': You had your reasons. :'''Jimmy''': I did?

I never imagined such a thing, but... I suppose I try not to. :'''Lalo''': That is terrible. What kind of accident was it? :'''Margarethe''': A cave-in. :'''Lalo''': Cave-in? :'''Margarethe''': He was able to save his men. He got them out, but then... the structure collapsed. :'''Lalo''': So your husband was a hero. :'''Margarethe''': ''[smiles]'' He would never accept that. My Werner was too humble. :'''Lalo''': ...And what were they building there? :'''Margarethe''': My husband didn't talk much about his work. It was very secretive. :'''Lalo''': Oh... I'm sure he must have told you something. :'''Margarethe''': The lawyers came to my house. I asked questions, they wouldn't say much. :'''Lalo''': ''[shakes his head]'' Lawyers. :'''Margarethe''': They went through Werner's things. Took anything that they called, uh... Oh, how do you say it? ''[pause]'' Proprietary? I'm sorry, my English is— :'''Lalo''': Oh, it's excellent. :'''Margarethe''': I didn't care about it. All the boxes of folders, his papers. Why do I need all that stuff? :'''Lalo''': And what about your husband's men? I mean, they must have said something to you. :'''Margarethe''': Werner loved ''deine jungs''—his boys—but I never even met them. :'''Lalo''': What do you mean? Not even at the funeral? :'''Margarethe''': You'd think they would want to pay respect to the man who saved their lives. They sent flowers, keepsakes, and so on... but not one of them showed his face. :'''Lalo''': Wow. That is... ''[sighs]'' It's just not right. === ''[[w:Axe and Grind | Axe and Grind]]'' [6.06] === :''[Casper, one of Werner's former workers, spots Lalo approaching his home while chopping wood]'' :'''Lalo''': ''Guten tag!'' :'''Casper''': ''Guten tag.''

Cliff called them, "up-and-coming organizations," and uh... Yeah. Cliff thinks I have a good shot. :'''Jimmy''': A good shot? You have more than a shot! They are gonna love you on sight! :'''Kim''': The only thing is the lunch is on D-Day. :'''Jimmy''': So, what? That's—You don't have to be there on the day! Was Eisenhower on Omaha Beach?

Do you have a question about the Sandpiper case? :'''Francesca''': ''[waits for Jimmy to nod]'' Yes. My mother's out of the facility in Amarillo. Says she's supposed to call in to some meeting on Thursday? :'''HHM Employee #2''': Yes, you're talking about the mediation? :'''Francesca''': That's it. The thing is, she's lost her dial-in instructions. ''[sighs nervously]'' I'm just looking everywhere and can't find them. :'''HHM Employee #2''': I'd be happy to help you with that. It's very important to us that all the class members are fully looked in. What's your mother's name? :'''Francesca''': ''[Tells name mouthed by Jimmy]'' Uh, Marnie Stuber. ''[watches Jimmy form the letters as she spells aloud]'' That's–that's S-T-U-B-E-R. ''[sighs nervously again when Jimmy tries to cheer her up]'' Oh, bless your heart. She'll be so relieved! :'''HHM Employee #2''': Okay, it's very simple. The meeting is happening at our offices. So she just has to call the main line—the same number you called just now—press 7, and then enter the passcode. I can give that to you now. Do you have a pen? :'''Francesca''': Uh...

''He broke his arm.'' :'''Kim''': Are you serious? :'''Jimmy''': The guy has a giant cast on his left arm! And I checked all the pictures and you can see his arm in every single one of them! No cast, clear as day! :'''Kim''': Shit! SHIT! :'''Jimmy''': I KNOW! I '''KNOW!''' Uh... But, hey. Hey, hey, look at it this way: If I hadn't seen him...

I know we're all anxious to get things started but you'll have to suffer through my traditional spiel, unfortunately. My name is Rand Casimiro, and I am your mediator for these proceedings. Now, I'm happy to be here. But at the end, hopefully all of you in the room and those listening from various locations ''won't'' be happy with me. And why do I say that? Because the best solutions mean compromise. It's compromise from both sides. That's my goal. But as my wife always says, compromising doesn't mean I'm right and she's wrong.

If it matters, I arrived in town about ten, I stopped at a gas station, I went by a liquor store and bought a gift. I had a lunch salad and a very nice latté from the Flying Star on Menaul. I read ''[[w:Barron's_(newspaper)|Barron's]]''. Then came here. :'''Howard:''' ''Mmmm''. So you weren't in town to visit our mutual acquaintance, James Morgan McGill? Or maybe you know him as "Saul Goodman". :'''Casimiro:''' I don't know anyone by either of those names. :'''Howard:''' Okay. You want to go that way?

These photos &ndash; these are photos of me? :'''Howard:''' They show exactly what I'm describing. :'''Casimiro:''' You were following me? :'''Howard:''' I had a private investigator following Jimmy McGill.

''something''. :'''Cliff:''' The missing photos. :'''Howard:''' Yeah. My P.I., Genidowski, had to have been in on it. He-he must have shown me one set of photos and then switched them after I left the office. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' Three weeks ago, Julie got a call from our detective agency. They wanted to update their contact info, so of course she changed the number in the system. But it turns out, it wasn't them. That was Jimmy. So when I needed an investigator to follow Jimmy, I called his fake number and his fake man. She just dialed the old number and, of course, got the actual agency. And, no surprise, no one by the name of Genidowski had ever worked there. I hired a con man. I got played. Every step of the way. I know what it sounds like, but you have to believe me. :'''Cliff:''' I... It doesn't matter. Rich went back to the previous offer. I'll give a recommend to the class that we take it. :'''Howard:''' No. No way. We do not let Jimmy win this. :'''Cliff:''' Why would Jimmy even do this? He's a profit participant! This means less money for him! :'''Howard:''' Because he's a child! He wants his money now! He begged me months ago to settle! You know what he does! :'''Cliff:''' Whatever the truth is, we'll never get back to where we were before mediation. We have to settle. :'''Howard:''' I'm lead attorney. And I won't sanction that decision. :'''Cliff:''' Then I'm obligated to go to the partners and explain everything I've seen &ndash; all of it.

I put this thing in front of a jury, then everything will&ndash; :'''Cliff:''' I'm not thinking about you, Howard. I'm not thinking about Jimmy.

Take your time. :'''Howard:''' ''[to Kim]'' What's this about? :''[Lalo calmly takes a pistol out of his pocket and screws a silencer onto the muzzle]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[to Lalo]'' Please... please, just tell us what you want. :'''Lalo:''' ''[shrugs]'' Like I said. To talk. :'''Howard:''' I, uh... I think I'm in the middle of something, uh... There's really no need to— :''[Lalo puts the gun to Howard's head and pulls the trigger; Howard falls onto the floor, killed instantly. Jimmy and Kim scream.]'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Please, no!'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''No! No!'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[holds out his hand to quiet them down]'' ''Shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh.'' Okay. Let's talk. === ''[[w:Point and Shoot (Better Call Saul) | Point and Shoot]]'' [6.08] === :''[Jimmy and Kim are cowering in terror when Lalo forces them to sit on their couch]'' :'''Jimmy''': I never turned on you. I didn't. I only worked for you in the desert. I was on your side the whole time. :'''Lalo''': Shhh. ''[motions for Jimmy to sit down with his gun]'' I don't care. You two... ''[chuckles; shakes his head]'' God, you two and your mouths! ''Dios mío!'' Now, ''you listen.'' ''[tosses car keys to Jimmy]'' My car's downstairs. Press the clicker, and you'll find it. This... ''[holds up small piece of paper]'' is where you are going. Don't speed, don't weave, don't cut anyone off. Just, you know, drive nice. From here, ''[checks watch]'' at this hour... I'd take 40 east, get off at Carlisle, take the third left. The rest I drew a little map for you on the back. It's not hard. So... big white brick house with a solid black door. You can't miss it. It's right at the end of the T. Park a little down the street and not up front. It's a quiet neighborhood, so you'll have plenty of options. Stating the obvious here maybe, but... turn the car off, right? So, in the glove compartment, I left you a present. There's a camera and there's a gun. And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. ''[pause]'' Simple. :'''Jimmy''': You–you want me to—?! :'''Lalo''': I know, I know. ''[casually nudges Howard's dead body with his foot]'' You're a lawyer, and you're not a killer. But look, you can do this, okay? This guy, he's a housecat! Black, medium height, short hair, glasses! He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever. Give her the keys, give her the address. Let's go. ''[walks toward the front door]'' :'''Kim''': ''[to Jimmy]'' No. Don't... Don't. :'''Jimmy''': You... you gotta go. :'''Kim''': ''[softly]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': Come on. Hey... ''[whispering]'' Let's go. :''[Kim reluctantly gets up and is about to leave the apartment, but Lalo stops her]'' :'''Lalo''': Hold on. ''[pause; Kim looks at him]'' You're gonna need your shoes, right? :''[Kim stares at Jimmy while she puts her shoes on]'' :'''Lalo''': There you go! Okay, ''[looks at watch]'' so one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair while interrogating him about the assassination attempt at his hacienda]'' :'''Lalo''': You know, after I saw you last, I went home. My home. ''Mi cielito lindo''... And you know what happened? Men came. Armed men, in the middle of the night. To my home. Trying to get to me. And you know what they did? They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I... I have–I have no idea. :'''Lalo''': Ignacio Varga. ''He'' let them in. And who did Ignacio introduce me to? ''[taps Jimmy's head]'' You. :'''Jimmy''': Ignacio... Nacho? ''[brief pause]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa! I–I barely know Ignacio! Whatever he did, he did alone! Not with me! Listen, you gotta believe me! Hand to God, I had no part in this—it wasn't me! ''It was '''Igna—''''' :''[Lalo sneaks up from behind and gags Jimmy with a rolled-up shirt]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[through the gag]'' Ignacio! It's not me! Listen, listen! I–I don't know about... :'''Lalo''': Save it. ''[looks Jimmy in the eyes]'' I'm gonna come back. And then you... are gonna tell me ''the whole story.'' :''[Before leaving the apartment, Lalo presses play on the movie Jimmy and Kim were watching earlier and turns up the volume. He picks up Jimmy's car keys by the front door.]'' :'''Lalo''': Ford Taurus... taupe? ''[rolls eyes and shakes his head before leaving]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike disarms Kim and forces her inside Gus' house before she can shoot. Gus watches Mike question her through surveillance monitors at his neighbors' residence.]'' :'''Kim''': What are you doing?! I–I have to go! I have to—No, wait! :'''Mike''': Ms. Wexler, I'd like you to sit down. :'''Kim''': He'll–He'll kill him! You have to... You— :'''Mike''': Now, sit there and be calm! :'''Kim''': No, I have to get back! ''I have to get back!'' :'''Mike''': ''[restrains her and forces her back down]'' Sit ''still''... and stay calm. Now, if you take a deep breath—a ''deep'' breath—nothing's gonna happen here until you calm yourself. Alright? Now, who is killing who? :'''Kim''': Lalo Salamanca! Lalo is going to kill Jimmy! ''[Mike looks shocked]'' He's there! He–he is there with Jimmy now! :'''Mike''': Salamanca is at your apartment?! :'''Kim''': Yes! He sent ''me!'' He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me. :'''Mike''': To do what exactly?! ''[pause; Kim hyperventilates]'' Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here? :'''Kim''': ''[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus]'' Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it. I only have twenty minutes left! Please! ''[Mike quickly looks and nods at one of his guys]'' He is ''alone'' with him! :'''Mike''': Alright, stay put. We'll handle this. We ''will'' handle this. ''[to Victor]'' You call Tyrus. Get him to the condo ''now.'' :'''Kim''': You said you were watching us! WHERE WERE YOU?! HUH?! ''[Mike leaves]'' '''WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!''' :''[Kim tries to get up, but Victor stands in her way and forces her to sit down again]'' :'''Victor''': You heard what the man said. :''[Mike walks through the corridor connecting the two homes and reports to Gus.]'' :'''Mike''': You heard all that? ''[Gus nods]'' Alright. You hunker down here. ''[to two bodyguards]'' You two, you stay with him. A dog barks too loud, you are on the phone with me. ''[to Arthur and Tyrus]'' You two, come with me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After growing restless over Lalo's whereabouts, Gus calls Victor and asks him to speak to Kim about Lalo]'' :'''Gus''': Why did Lalo send you? :'''Kim''': Who is this? :'''Victor''': Answer him. ''[points behind him]'' :'''Kim''': ''[pause]'' He didn't want to send me. Not at first. He wanted to send my husband... but my husband talked him out of it because he wanted to get me out of there. :'''Gus''': He... talked Lalo out of it? :'''Kim''': That's right. ''[pause]'' Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who— :''[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]'' :'''Gus''': Come with me. Both of you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records another video message for Don Eladio while holding Gus at gunpoint at the laundromat. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Lalo:''' Don Eladio, look who we have here. The one and only Gustavo Fring. [''chuckles''] And wearing body armor! Too bad they don't make armor for your head, eh? Now we're gonna take a little walk and show you around. ''Vamanos''. [''clicks tongue''] Don, I would've liked it if we didn't have to rush this so much. We could sit by your pool... strip this snake's skin off, inch by inch. Take our time, have some fun. But he shows up now... who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? :''[Gus stops at one of the large washers]'' :'''Lalo:''' A big machine hides a big secret. We have about... thirteen minutes until his bald ''gringo'' gets here with the cavalry, so Gustavo is going to have to give us the nickel tour. ''[beat; shoots Gus in the chest]'' Like I was saying, Gustavo is going to show us around. :''[Gus walks around and pushes a button, which opens the secret passage to the underground meth lab]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''Ha!'' Magnificent! I had a bathtub that did this, but... credit where credit is due, this is better. ''[laughs]'' ''Hijo de puta''. :''[Gus leads Lalo down a ladder and turns on the lights]'' :'''Lalo:''' [''chuckles; in English''] Okay. Drumroll, please. ''D-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r''... Ta-da! ''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole! ''[cackles]'' Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he built himself was a tomb. :'''Gus:''' You can't kill me. :'''Lalo:''' Why not? :'''Gus:''' I haven't told that fat pig Eladio what I think of him yet. :'''Lalo:''' ''Hoo-hoo!'' Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk. You done? :'''Gus:''' No. Not yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy:''' Lalo said he was coming back. :'''Mike:''' He's not coming. :'''Jimmy:''' No, he said he was, he told me— :'''Mike:''' You understand me? He is ''not coming back.'' Let's sit. ''[pause; Jimmy and Kim remain standing]'' '''''SIT.''''' :''[Jimmy and Kim sit at the foot of their bed; Mike stands in front of them.]'' :'''Mike:''' Alright. Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand? Say it out loud, I need to hear it. :'''Jimmy:''' ...I understand. :'''Kim:''' ...It never happened. === ''[[w:Fun and Games (Better Call Saul) | Fun and Games]]'' [6.09] === :'''Jimmy''': One day, we'll... We'll wake up, and brush our teeth, and we'll go to work. And at some point, we'll suddenly realize... [[w:Bad Choice Road | that we hadn't thought about it at all. None of it]]. ''[pause]'' And that's when we'll know. We'll know we can forget. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus meets with Don Eladio, Juan Bolsa, and the Salamancas late at night. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Eladio''': Don Hector has made a very serious accusation. :''[One of the Cousins hands a letter to Don Juan]'' :'''Bolsa''': These are Don Hector's words. Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak. Have you no defense? :'''Gus''': With all due respect, I don't believe this merits a response. :'''Eladio''': Did you witness these phone calls from Lalo? ''[Leonel and Marco shake their heads]'' I was told you saw Lalo's body. :'''Leonel''': Yes. :'''Marco''': It was burned. :'''Eladio''': Didn't the ''federales'' check the teeth? :'''Bolsa''': Yes, Don Eladio. My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well. ''[to Gus]'' I'd invite you to stay as well, Gustavo, but... I don't want my breakfast ruined by all the... ''[mocks Hector ringing his bell and laughs]'' Ay-yay-yay. ''[beat]'' The peace must be kept. What do you suggest? :'''Gus''': I wouldn't presume. :'''Eladio''': The South Valley will stay Salamanca territory. And the rest of the North, that'll be for you to manage. Working under Bolsa. :'''Bolsa''': Thank you, Don Eladio. :'''Gus''': ''[rises with Eladio out of his chair]'' Thank you. Your trust means everything, Don Eladio. :'''Eladio''': ''Bueno.'' Gustavo... ''[long pause]'' When I looked into your eyes... Hate. A little bit's okay. As long as you never forget who's boss. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike meets with Nacho's father outside his shop to let him know about Nacho's fate]'' :'''Manuel''': Who are you? :'''Mike''': It's not important. :'''Manuel''': I saw you here before.

No pain. :'''Manuel''': You were there? :'''Mike''': I was there. Your son made some mistakes, he fell in with bad people... but he was never like them. Not really. He had a good heart. One more thing: you won't have to worry about the Salamancas. Their day is coming. There'll be justice. :'''Manuel''': Justice? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, my Spanish - j-''justicia.'' Justice. :'''Manuel''': ''[sighs]'' What you talk about... is not justice. What you talk of is... ''revenge.'' It never ends... my boy is gone.

You two were the last ones to see him, weren't you? :'''Kim:''' Um... :'''Jimmy:''' I guess so. Uh, that's what the police said. :'''Cheryl:''' Howard told me that you were harassing him, playing elaborate pranks of some sort.

Um, I think he honestly believed it. :'''Cheryl:''' But you're denying it. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' You know what, I didn't leave here under the best terms. The past few years, I could have been more considerate to Howard instead of yitzing him every chance I got. I guess, uh, there was a certain amount of jealousy on my part because Howard had the, uh, respect of my brother. Which I never did. ''[Jimmy steps away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' Tell me what you told the police. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' Okay, um... Well, I mean, it was 11pm. Howard started pounding on our door. He was very upset, going on about something, um, he thought was my fault, uh... Guess it had to do with the Sandpiper case. But I—I couldn't make head or tail out of it. We tried to calm him down. But... he just—he just wouldn't, um... Finally, he left. That's—that's it. :'''Cheryl:''' I'm not oblivious. I know people are saying he was on drugs.

Because none of it makes sense to me. :'''Cliff:''' Cheryl, maybe we should just— :'''Cheryl:''' I don't care what people are saying. I don't care what the police think. Howard was not on drugs. That simply is not true. There's something more to this. :'''Kim:''' I don't know if it's my place, but... I—I... :'''Cheryl:''' Please. Just spit it out. ''[sharply inhales]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[sighs]'' It was about a year-and-a-half ago. I was still an associate here, working late on a brief. And I saw a light on in Howard's office. I assumed the cleaning crew left it on by mistake. And I was sure that office was empty, so I didn't knock. :'''Cheryl:''' ...And? :'''Kim:''' And Howard was there at his desk, head down. And he was snorting something. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[scoffs]'' :'''Kim:''' I looked at him. He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked out. And the next morning, when we saw each other, neither of us ever said anything about it. I never told anyone. But now I wish I had. :''[Long pause]'' :'''Cheryl:''' ''[to Cliff]'' In all the years that you worked with him, have you witnessed anything like this? Even a hint? Cliff... :'''Cliff:''' I...

We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type. We're gonna roll this thing back. I'll order a pizza, we'll pull an all-nighter. Because we're in this together. Okay? So I'm gonna go get your—your printer, and then we're gonna get the hell out of here. :''[Jimmy turns to head into the bedroom]'' :'''Kim:''' Wait— Jimmy. Jimmy! :''[Jimmy enters the bedroom to discover half-full boxes and luggage everywhere]'' :'''Kim:''' You asked if you were bad for me. That's not it. We are bad for each other. :'''Jimmy:''' Kim. Don't do this. Kim, please. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... ''[holding back tears]'' ...I have had the time of my life with you. But we are bad for everyone around us. Other people suffer because of us. Apart we're okay, but together we're poison. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[shakes his head]'' No, no. Just tell me what I need to do to change, okay? Just tell me what it is, and I'll do it. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... :'''Jimmy:''' No, Kim. You make me happy. We make each other happy. How can that be bad? Hey... I love you. :'''Kim:''' I love you, too. ''[voice breaking]'' But so what? :'''Jimmy:''' No. No. No, Kim, you're wrong! ''This is about '''Howard!''''' Okay?! What happened to him wasn't on us! It wasn't your fault! It wasn't ''my'' fault! It was that ''fucking Lalo Salamanca!'' That psychopath came back from the dead and he walked through that door! He did this! Not us, ''him!'' :'''Kim:''' I knew. :'''Jimmy:''' You knew wh-what? :'''Kim:''' I knew he was alive. :'''Jimmy:''' No, you didn't. :'''Kim:''' It was about a month ago. I saw that car following me again. And it turned out that Mike Ehrmantraut had guys watching both of us, watching for Lalo. :'''Jimmy:''' Mike... Mike told you that Lalo was alive? ''[Kim nods]'' And you didn't tell me? :'''Kim:''' ''[pause]'' Jimmy... I thought... I thought it was a one-in-a-million chance that he'd come for us. I thought he would be caught if he did. And I told myself I was protecting you. But that's not the truth. The reason I didn't tell you was because I knew what you'd do. :'''Jimmy:''' Wh-what would I do? :'''Kim:''' You'd—you'd blame yourself. You'd fear for me. You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... ''[pause]'' ...and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that. Because I was having too much ''fun''. :''[Kim breaks down crying and returns to the bedroom to pack; Jimmy stands in the living room in silence]'' === ''Nippy'' [6.10] === '''Jeff:''' I don't know... '''Jimmy:''' What don't you know? '''Jeff:''' Just, this whole thing, it seems crazy! '''Jimmy:''' Is this too hot for you?! Ju— You know what, just say so! You know what? Screw it. "Crazy." I'll tell you what's crazy! Fifty-year-old high school chemistry teacher comes into my office. The guy is so broke, he can't pay his own mortgage.

Federales found him dead at the scene. But they got Salamanca. :'''Gus:''' The mercenaries are dead. To a man. And yet their mission was a success? :'''Mike:''' It has been known to happen. Now you go down there and get Varga, bring him home safe. There's ways to do it on the quiet. :''[Long pause; Gus and Tyrus both stare at him.]'' :'''Mike:''' ''[scoffs]'' ...Unless you already have something in the works. :''[Tyrus turns and exits the trailer. Mike and Gus speak alone.]'' :'''Gus:''' Speak your mind. :'''Mike:''' Loyalty goes both ways. Varga's done everything you asked him. :'''Gus:''' He wasn't given a choice. :'''Mike:''' Maybe so, but he played a tough game. And he played it on the square. :'''Gus:''' ...And? :'''Mike:''' When all is said and done, the kid deserves your respect. :'''Gus:''' He has it. Is there more you wish to say? :''[After a long pause, Mike exits the trailer.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy and Kim have dinner at a diner; conversation turns to the Ford Taurus that Jimmy has rented.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' I rented us a car. It's the Ford. :'''Kim:''' So Saul Goodman drives a brown Ford Taurus? :'''Jimmy:''' Detroit calls that taupe, I believe. :'''Kim:''' Don't you think Saul Goodman would drive something with a little more... flair? :'''Jimmy:''' Such as? :'''Kim:''' I don't know. Definitely American-made. Something showy. And Saul Goodman has an office. Something eye-catching. Good location. :'''Jimmy:''' By the courthouse? :'''Kim:''' Yeah. A cathedral of justice. :'''Jimmy:''' ''Ooooh'', a cathedral of justice. Okay, yeah. :'''Kim:''' We should start looking for something for you. I mean, for Saul. :'''Jimmy:''' Sold. When do we start? <hr width="50%"/> :''[At the courthouse, Jimmy is confronted by the district attorney who prosecuted Lalo during his bail hearing]'' :'''ADA Khalil''': I've been calling you for two days. :'''Jimmy''': Oh, my girl's out sick. What can I do you for? :'''ADA Khalil''': Tomorrow morning, 10 A.M. :'''Jimmy''': Brunch? But just you and me, right? ''[points at Detective Roberts]'' I mean, won't the big fella here feel like a third wheel? :'''ADA Khalil''': You and I are meeting Parson in chambers. I am asking for an emergency hearing to alter the terms of De Guzman's release. :'''Jimmy''': Sounds like a blast. Unfortunately, I'm booked solid. :'''Detective Roberts''': I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte. The family that showed at the bail hearing can't be located. No driver's license, no tax rolls, no school records. Nothing. The fact is, there isn't a single Elizabeth McKinnon under the age of 73 living in New Mexico. :'''Jimmy''': Well, this is–this is surprising. :'''ADA Khalil''': Your client has disappeared, and I'm not waiting six weeks to start looking for him. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, my guy put up seven million in bail. You think he's just gonna walk away from that? :'''Detective Roberts''': Who comes up with seven million bucks in cash? :'''ADA Khalil''': You know what I think? I think the family was fake. ''[to Jimmy]'' And I think you knew it the whole time. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, hold up. Just get real for a second. The hearing didn't go your way, and now you're trying for a do-over? You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. ''Career-ending'' prosecutorial misconduct! :'''Detective Roberts''': None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! ''[points at ADA Khalil]'' You got two dozen lawyers up there! You got investigators—you got the whole damn police force—and it's ''my'' fault that you can't keep track of Lalo?! ''That is '''not''' my job!'' :'''ADA Khalil''': Lalo? Who's Lalo? :'''Jimmy''': What?! ''[blinks hard]'' What did I say... I meant De Guzman. I have more than one client! ''[chuckles]'' So... ''[clears throat]'' I will see you at the preliminary in six weeks as scheduled. Until then, I have clients who need me. :''[Jimmy walks into an empty courtroom and sits down while contemplating his slip-up]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy takes a guided tour of the country club where Howard and Cliff are members, meeting with a tour guide named Norm in the main lounge.]'' :'''Norm:''' Hi, Norm Wakely. I understand you're in the market for a tour. :'''Jimmy:''' That's right. Saul Goodman. :'''Norm:''' Great to meet you, Mr. Goodman. :'''Jimmy:''' No please, call me Saul. :'''Norm:''' Great. So Saul, can I get you anything before we get started? The coffee here is just unbeatable. :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, well, I'm fine. I'm fully caffeinated. :''[Kevin Wachtell walks into the room and becomes upset upon seeing Jimmy in the lounge.]'' :'''Norm:''' Well Saul, you and I are standing on hallowed ground. Five presidents have played on our course, starting with Dwight D. Eisenhower. But the story goes back even further than that– :'''Kevin:''' ''Norm.'' :''[Jimmy and Norm turn toward Kevin.]'' :'''Kevin:''' Can I have a sec, please? :'''Jimmy:''' Kevin, hey. How's it going? :'''Norm:''' Uh, I'm sorry. I'm sure this will just be a moment. :''[Norm goes over to Kevin and talks to him for a few moments, clearly being instructed to remove Jimmy from the premises.]'' :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman. I'm so sorry, but I've just been reminded that in fact we have a two-year waiting list. :'''Jimmy:''' Two years, wow. Maybe I could go on the tour anyway. I mean, 'cause I'm here. Just in case. :'''Norm:''' Well unfortunately, we've suspended tours for the moment. :'''Jimmy:''' You're not even giving tours? :'''Norm:''' I apologize for the inconvenience. We–we'll be happy to call you if the situation changes. You left your number? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh-huh. :'''Norm:''' Well, we'll be in touch. If the situation changes. Again, I–I am sorry for your time and trouble. We just– ''[sighs]'' We had a few crosswires. :'''Jimmy:''' Well... okay then. :'''Norm:''' Thank you. :''[Jimmy is about the leave the lounge, but impulsively stops, turns around, and approaches Norm again.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' I'm sorry. :'''Norm:''' Oh, yes. :'''Jimmy:''' Um, just so I understand: you were going to give me a tour and then realized you don't need new members? :'''Norm:''' We have a waiting list. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, but you're the membership director... :'''Norm:''' I know. :'''Jimmy:''' ...so you would have known that before. It doesn't really add up. I mean, I came in and everyone was rolling out the red carpet, and then all of a sudden something changed. I don't– :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman, I– :'''Jimmy:''' ''Goodman.'' The name. The second you heard it, everything turned on a dime. Wow. Waiting list? I think you're talking about an ''exclusion'' list. It's okay, I should have known. Because, I mean, look! ''[raises his voice and walks to the middle of the lounge, where everyone can see him]'' It's wall-to-wall mayonnaise in here! So listen, if you're going to be restrictive, have the courage to say so! :'''Norm:''' There's no question– :'''Jimmy:''' There it is, folks! Anti-Semitism, alive and well right here in Albuquerque! :'''Norm:''' Sir! We have many Jewish members! :'''Jimmy:''' Oh good. Well, you met your quota then. Gold star for you. :''[Kevin, flanked by two of his golf buddies, interjects.]'' :'''Kevin:''' Hold on. That's gotta be the biggest load of horse crap I've ever heard in my life. Go crawl back in your hole, McGill or Goodman – whatever you're calling yourself. What are you up to, anyway? Ginning up another one of your put-up job lawsuits? You two-faced, blackmailing, money-grubbing son of a bitch– :'''Jimmy:''' Money-grubbing! You're saying the quiet part out loud, I think. :'''Norm:''' Gentlemen, can we just keep the volume down? :'''Kevin:''' You know damn well that's not what I meant! :'''Jimmy:''' In this day and age, I'd hoped and prayed we'd be beyond this. :'''Kevin:''' You're about as Jewish as my Aunt Fannie! :'''Jimmy:''' Five-thousand years and it never ends! :''[Kevin tries to take a swing at Jimmy, but is held back by his golf buddies.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Here it is! Violence! It always comes to this!'' :'''Norm:''' Mr. Wachtell, please! :'''Kevin's Buddy:''' Come on, Kev. :'''Kevin:''' ''[to Jimmy]'' You go to hell, you lying sack of shit. :''[Kevin and his golf buddies leave the lounge.]'' :'''Norm:''' Sir. Mr. Goodman, I don't know what to say. That is not– :'''Jimmy:''' I wouldn't be a member here. I wouldn't walk through those doors again after what happened to me here today. ''[feigns tears]'' Do you at least have a bathroom that I could use, seeing as how my– Stress like that is hell on my diverticulitis. :'''Norm:''' The men's locker room is the closest. It's straight through there. :'''Jimmy:''' And I would be allowed to go in there? :'''Norm:''' Yes, of course. :'''Jimmy:''' I want you to know I don't blame you personally. I know you were just following orders. ''[to everyone in the lounge]'' It's okay, folks! I'm leaving! All is well! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo is preparing to be smuggled across the border with a group of undocumented immigrants when he decides to call the Casa Tranquila Nursing Home and speak to Hector. A nurse holds a phone up to Hector's ear in the common room. Hector uses his bell to communicate.]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[in Spanish]'' Uncle, can you hear me? Do you know my voice? :''[Hector visibly recognizes Lalo's voice.]'' :'''Hector:''' ''[rings bell twice]'' :'''Lalo:''' They told you about the attack, didn't they? :'''Hector:''' ''[rings once]'' :'''Lalo:''' Let them keep believing I'm dead. So much the better. It was the chicken man. That coward sat up there in the north while his paramilitaries came into my home. My home, Uncle! Screw Bolsa, screw Eladio. I'm coming north. I'm going to hurt him. Hurt him like you taught me. And then I will kill him. :'''Hector:''' ''[rings repeatedly in agreement]'' :'''Lalo:''' What is it? :''[The nurse takes the phone from Hector.]'' :'''Nurse:''' Hector? ''[to Lalo]'' Excuse me. I'm so sorry, but Hector seems a little upset. :'''Lalo:''' ''[in English]'' Yeah, sorry. Um, I'm just– I'm sharing a bit of family news, some good, some bad. Would you mind putting him back on? It will only be a minute. :'''Nurse:''' Of course. :''[The nurse again holds the phone to Hector's ear.]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[in Spanish]'' Uncle? :'''Hector:''' ''[rings twice]'' :'''Lalo:''' What is it? Do you have another idea? :'''Hector:''' ''[rings twice]'' :'''Lalo:''' Okay, let's see. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, Ñ, O, P– :'''Hector:''' ''[rings once]'' :'''Lalo:''' P? That's right? :'''Hector:''' ''[rings once]'' :'''Lalo:''' Okay. What's next? A, B, C, D... :''[Cut to the common room; Hector rings twice.]'' :'''Lalo:''' ...L, M, N, Ñ... :''[Cut to the common room; Hector rings once.]'' :'''Lalo:''' U? ''Prueba?'' :'''Hector:''' ''[rings once]'' :'''Lalo:''' Is that what you're saying? Proof? :'''Hector:''' ''[rings twice]'' :'''Lalo:''' Uncle, I don't have any proof. For months I was in the north watching him, following his men. There was nothing. :''[Lalo has a flash of realization.]'' :'''Lalo:''' Wait... There is proof. I know where to find it. Goodbye, Uncle. You will see me soon. === ''[[w:Carrot and Stick|Carrot and Stick]]'' [6.02] === :'''Jimmy''': "I was a hard worker. I was a company man. Twenty years, and I didn't miss a single day. They even gave me a plaque for it. ''[sighs]'' It was a gold plaque. Perfect attendance... But when they handed it to me, I wrenched my back. I was in so much pain, I couldn't do my job... ''[sighs again]'' which meant I couldn't put food on the table. I didn't want to sue... but with a family to support, what choice did I have?" :'''Kim''': Wait, who are you supposed to be again? :'''Jimmy''': Whatever. The backstory is just a placeholder. I'm gonna polish the script once we cast. :'''Kim''': But a personal injury suit? Best case scenario, that gets him in with an associate. :'''Jimmy''': ''[throws hands up]'' Mesothelioma. ''[clears his throat]'' "When I took that job down at the shoe factory, I had no idea I was risking my life. Now, I can't stop coughin'!" Right? Come on! Hey, a mesothelioma class-action built Clifford Main his vacation house. He hears "mesothelioma," his eyes pop! :'''Kim''': Well, sure. But then he takes the case. What happens when he asks for a medical evaluation? And how does Howard come up? :'''Jimmy''': Okay, ask me why I'm here. :'''Kim''': What brings you to Davis & Main today? :'''Jimmy''': "I'm sick. I'm really sick..." :'''Kim''': Good. :'''Jimmy''': "...and it's not mesothelioma, but it's not good. And I need a lawyer, and the pickings are slim. I already went to HHM. I met with their top guy, Howard Hamlin, and uh... Uhhh, I–I got a brother-in-law and he's got a pretty nasty coke habit, very similar energy. Just put me off. Anyway, I need a lawyer, blah-blah-blah." :'''Kim''': Okay, but you got a bad feeling from just one meeting? :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, I had the brother-in-law with the coke. :'''Kim''': Yeah, but you were only in the room with him once. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, so it's gotta be something with a history with Howard. :'''Kim''': Yeah. :'''Jimmy''': But Cliff has to want to take the meeting, but not the case. :'''Kim''': Right. :'''Jimmy''': ''[sighs]'' It's gotta be good, but not too good. :'''Kim''': Exactly. There's a sweet spot, you know. Like a magnet. We–we pull Cliff in, and then repel him. ''[beat]'' Oh! :'''Jimmy''': What? :'''Kim''': ''[sighs]'' You are going to ''hate'' this... <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy tracks down the Kettlemans to their shady tax preparation office and tries to rope them into his and Kim's plan to ruin Howard]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[to Jimmy]'' You've got some nerve coming here after what you did! ''[shoves Jimmy]'' ''Leave!'' Because of you, we lost ''everything!'' Our kids are in public school! So why don't you go crawl back under whatever slime-covered rock you came from and leave us the heck alone?! :'''Jimmy''': Okay, I sense some anger here, but that's–that's perfectly understandable. Since you brought it up, I came here today because I was curious if you two wanted your lives back. There's actually a legal term for it: Exoneration. :'''Craig''': Oh. You know, we actually did look into that. :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Craig''': We went to a number of lawyers, and— :'''Betsy''': ''Real'' lawyers. :'''Craig''': Yes. They were all terrific, but they said that it was impossible. :'''Betsy''': ''Mm-hmm''. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, but those lawyers don't know what I know. :'''Craig''': What's that? :'''Betsy''': No, Craig. He's got an angle. :'''Jimmy''': I ''do'' have an angle, Craig. It's an angle called justice. ''[Betsy scoffs and snickers]'' Let me put it this way: I think that within Craig's case, I have found the grounds for a civil suit. A big one. ''[pause; quietly]'' Big. :'''Betsy''': ''[long pause; looks at Craig]'' Okay, then. Let's hear it. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hold your horses, because we've been down this road before. [[w:Uno (Better Call Saul)|And the last time I gave you two advice, you went straight to the competition with it.]] ''[pulls out a piece of paper from inside his suit]'' So, I just need some assurances that all my hard work isn't gonna end up in the hands of, uh, Clifford Main or some other asshole at some pretentious high-pay, white-shoe law firm. So before we talk turkey, letters of engagement. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, you remember these. I made some updates, just closed a few loopholes and whatnot. So... ''[holds out paper and pen]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[stops Craig from taking the pen]'' We're not signing anything. :'''Jimmy''': You have to sign if you want to know what I know. :'''Betsy''': ''We're not signing.'' :'''Jimmy''': Really? You're sure? :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Jimmy''': Craig? :'''Craig''': ''[looks at Betsy before shaking his head]'' Thanks anyway. :'''Jimmy''': ''[unclicks pen]'' Alright. Well, uh... Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made. ''[turns his back to Craig for him to sign the letter]'' Here you go. :'''Betsy''': ''[after Craig signs the letter]'' So what do you know? :'''Jimmy''': You got one, too, Betsy. ''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?! The second you say where you got this information from, guess who automatically gets a cut?! ''Me! So go ahead! Go ahead, see what happens!'' :''[Jimmy pretends to be upset after the Kettlemans leave, but slowly starts smiling as he walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus and Juan Bolsa visit Hector at Casa Tranquila to send their condolences, still believing that Lalo is dead. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Bolsa''': He wishes to make amends. At least hear him out. :'''Gus''': Don Hector. It's no secret that I did not see eye to eye with your nephew. And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him. And then your family will have justice. :''[Hector slowly reaches his hand out to Gus. As Gus holds his hand, he notices a change of expression on Hector's face and stares at him. Cut to outside the nursing home.]'' :'''Bolsa''': ''[to Gus in English]'' We'll be in touch. :''[Gus calls Mike on his cell phone after Bolsa drives away]'' :'''Mike''': What did you learn? :'''Gus''': Lalo Salamanca lives. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy gets a call from Betsy Kettleman after she finds out there was no case against Howard]'' :'''Jimmy''': Saul Goodman, speedy justice for you. Oh, wait! Okay, just take a breath, and then we can... Okay, okay. I can tell you're upset. Just... I–I never advised that. No. ''[sighs]'' No, I did not, so let's agree to disagree. ''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down. Let me find him, bring him back before the Salamancas sweep him up. It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit.

I don't know anything about schemes or character assassination or whatnot, but... ''[clears throat]'' if you're feeling slighted, we can make it right.

Well, as you've been advised, for a number of reasons that's not gonna happen. :'''Betsy:''' It ''is'' gonna happen. It is. It's... You're just gonna have to figure out a way. :'''Craig:''' If anyone can do this, it's you. :'''Betsy:''' I know you don't want us going to Howard Hamlin.

Good to hear from you. :'''Kim:''' How are Noreen and the boys? :'''Justin:''' Oh, hanging in. Noreen always talks about having you by for dinner some time. :'''Kim:''' We should do that. Tell her to call me. Listen, I was wondering who your CID officer is these days. :'''Justin:''' You have something for us? :'''Kim:''' Oh, I just might: Tax preparer fraud. A lot of it. :'''Justin:''' I'm listening. :'''Kim:''' Well, it's this, uh, run-down little mom-and-pop outfit I've had my eye on for a while. ''[chuckles]'' Don't ask me why. Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it. Talk soon. :'''Betsy:''' You don't have to do this. :'''Kim:''' ''[to Betsy]'' Don't I? Betsy... You'll probably get twenty-four months, maybe eighteen with good behavior. But Craig? You are a two-time loser. They will definitely make an example out of you. Each false return they discover will be a separate felony. What are we talking? A hundred? :'''Betsy:''' Uh... :'''Kim:''' Two-hundred? :'''Tony:''' ''[beat]'' CID, Anthony Oropallo speaking. :''[Betsy runs to the phone and slams down the receiver to end the call]'' :'''Betsy:''' Please. We'll do anything. Just tell us. :'''Kim:''' ''[beat]'' Why would I believe ''you?'' Huh? :'''Craig:''' Please. :'''Kim:''' ''[long pause]'' First. First, you contact every person you've ripped off. Tell them you made an accounting error, tell them you're crooks who had a change of heart, I don't care. Give them what they are legally owed. Everything you stole. And then after that, you're going to forget you ever heard the name Howard Hamlin. I'm keeping my eye on both of you. You think you've lost everything?

Says she's supposed to call in to some meeting on Thursday? :'''HHM Employee #2''': Yes, you're talking about the mediation? :'''Francesca''': That's it. The thing is, she's lost her dial-in instructions. ''[sighs nervously]'' I'm just looking everywhere and can't find them. :'''HHM Employee #2''': I'd be happy to help you with that. It's very important to us that all the class members are fully looked in. What's your mother's name? :'''Francesca''': ''[Tells name mouthed by Jimmy]'' Uh, Marnie Stuber. ''[watches Jimmy form the letters as she spells aloud]'' That's–that's S-T-U-B-E-R. ''[sighs nervously again when Jimmy tries to cheer her up]'' Oh, bless your heart. She'll be so relieved! :'''HHM Employee #2''': Okay, it's very simple. The meeting is happening at our offices. So she just has to call the main line—the same number you called just now—press 7, and then enter the passcode. I can give that to you now. Do you have a pen? :'''Francesca''': Uh... ''[Jimmy quickly takes out a pen]'' Y–yeah, I'm ready. :'''HHM Employee #2''': Okay. It's 842159. ''[Jimmy writes the numbers on his hand]'' :'''Francesca''': 842159? :'''HHM Employee #2''': That's right. :'''Francesca''': Okay! Uh, thank you so much. Really appreciate it. :'''HHM Employee #2''': Of course, take care. :'''Jimmy''': ''[hangs up immediately]'' Was that so hard? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy sees the real Rand Casimiro at a liquor store wearing a cast that was not shown in the fake photos he shot earlier. He bolts out of there and gets in his car before being seen by the judge.]'' :'''Jimmy''': FUCK! ''[bangs on steering wheel and chuckles nervously before dialing Kim on his cell phone]'' :''[Cut to Kim driving on the highway to Santa Fe.]'' :'''Kim''': "Ultimately, it's about equal justice, a system that works for everyone. A justice system that works for everyone, and what is more important than that?" ''[hears phone ringing and answers it]'' Hey, Jimmy. :'''Jimmy''': Flag on the play! You're not gonna believe this, but I just ran into Casimiro—the real one. :'''Kim''': Oh, God. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, and before you ask, he didn't shave his mustache. ''He broke his arm.'' :'''Kim''': Are you serious? :'''Jimmy''': The guy has a giant cast on his left arm! And I checked all the pictures and you can see his arm in every single one of them! No cast, clear as day! :'''Kim''': Shit! SHIT! :'''Jimmy''': I KNOW! I '''KNOW!''' Uh... But, hey. Hey, hey, look at it this way: If I hadn't seen him... I mean, that would've really—that really could've sunk us. Right? So, we're gonna pull the plug and we are going to live to fight another day. :'''Kim''': ...What other day? :'''Jimmy''': Well, we'll figure it out. I promise, okay? So, just go. Just do your thing in Santa Fe, and we'll regroup when you get home tonight. ''[beat; Kim says nothing]'' Kim? Kim, you still there? :'''Kim''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Did you hear what I said? :'''Kim''': ''[pause]'' It happens today. :''[Kim quickly turns around and starts driving back to Albuquerque.]'' === ''[[w:Plan and Execution | Plan and Execution]]'' [6.07] === :''[An intern at HHM, Cary, drops soda cans when he sees Howard setting up the conference room for the Sandpiper mediation]'' :'''Cary''': Uh, excuse me, Mr. Hamlin! I-I was told I should restock the fridge before the meeting. :'''Howard''': No worries. Here, let me give you a hand. :'''Cary''': Thank you! :'''Howard''': Uh, you're... Gary? :'''Cary''': Cary! Anderson. :'''Howard''': Mm... of course. Cary. ''[sees Cary stocking the fridge with the dropped cans]'' Cary, what happens when you drop or shake a can of soda? :'''Cary''': ...Right. ''[mimes explosion]'' I'm sorry, I'm, uh... :'''Howard''': Here, let me show you a little trick. ''[picks up and spins a soda can]'' Something about the centrifugal force pulls the bubbles from the inside of the can, stops it from exploding. Don't want our clients to get a surprise now, do we? :'''Cary''': That works? :''[Howard opens the can without incident and takes a sip]'' :'''Cary''': Alright! :'''Howard''': You know who taught me that trick? ''[points at the picture of Chuck in the conference room]'' He used to do it. Had a habit - anytime he opened a can, almost unconsciously. I asked him about it once... just his way of being prepared for anything, accidental or otherwise. :'''Cary''': Um, I'm sorry, I'm... kinda new here. I- I have to ask, who is that? :'''Howard''': Charles McGill. The "M" in HHM. Greatest legal mind I ever knew. :'''Cary''': Wow! I hope someone says that about me someday. :'''Howard''': Well... maybe there are more important things. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Howard, Cliff, and the rest of the parties in the Sandpiper mediation are in the HHM conference room; Rand Casimiro is seated at the head of the table; Jimmy and Kim listen in on the meeting through a disposable cell phone in Saul Goodman's office]'' :'''Rand Casimiro:''' Hello. I know we're all anxious to get things started but you'll have to suffer through my traditional spiel, unfortunately. My name is Rand Casimiro, and I am your mediator for these proceedings. Now, I'm happy to be here. But at the end, hopefully all of you in the room and those listening from various locations ''won't'' be happy with me. And why do I say that? Because the best solutions mean compromise. It's compromise from both sides. That's my goal. But as my wife always says, compromising doesn't mean I'm right and she's wrong. ''[chuckles]'' So, let us move forward— :'''Howard:''' ''Hmph.'' :''[Everyone in the conference room turns to Howard]'' :'''Cliff:''' ...Howard? :'''Howard:''' I-I'm... Wow. ''[pause]'' I'm... I'm sorry. I don't think we can proceed with these negotiations today. :'''Rich:''' Why not? :'''Howard:''' Well, let's just say, circumstances beyond any of our control. :'''Rich:''' Well, I'm going to have to insist that you be more specific. :'''Howard:''' Well, our mediator here keeps using the word "compromise" when ''he'', in fact, is compromised. :'''Casimiro:''' I beg your pardon? :'''Howard:''' I think you heard me. :'''Cliff:''' Howard...? :'''Howard:''' You drive a silver Miata, correct? :'''Casimiro:''' I do. :'''Howard:''' And this morning, around 7 a.m., you walked across Trumbull Park in town? :'''Casimiro:''' No. :'''Howard:''' You didn't stop at the park this morning? :'''Casimiro:''' I didn't. I got to Albuquerque early, not at 7 a.m. And I didn't go to a park. :'''Howard:''' You sure? :'''Cliff:''' Howard, if the judge says he's sure, then I&ndash; :'''Casimiro:''' Of course I'm sure! If it matters, I arrived in town about ten, I stopped at a gas station, I went by a liquor store and bought a gift. I had a lunch salad and a very nice latté from the Flying Star on Menaul. I read ''[[w:Barron's_(newspaper)|Barron's]]''. Then came here. :'''Howard:''' ''Mmmm''. So you weren't in town to visit our mutual acquaintance, James Morgan McGill? Or maybe you know him as "Saul Goodman". :'''Casimiro:''' I don't know anyone by either of those names. :'''Howard:''' Okay. You want to go that way? ''[to his secretary]'' Julie, go to my desk, please. There's an envelope with photos. Bring it to me quickly. :'''Julie:''' Oh. Okay. ''[leaves]'' :'''Cliff:''' Howard, can we have a sidebar&ndash;? :'''Casimiro:''' I'm sorry. These photos &ndash; these are photos of me? :'''Howard:''' They show exactly what I'm describing. :'''Casimiro:''' You were following me? :'''Howard:''' I had a private investigator following Jimmy McGill. You were photographed receiving what I estimate to be a $20,000 payoff this morning in the park. :'''Rich:''' I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is just&ndash; ''[sighs; to Howard]'' You recommended this judge as a mediator and we agreed. And now... ''Jimmy?'' Jimmy McGill &ndash; who originated this suit &ndash; is ''what?'' :'''Howard:''' A-admittedly, it all sounds a bit baroque. But when you see the photos, things will be clearer. :'''Casimiro:''' Well, I'm looking forward to that. :''[long pause; Julie enters the room with the envelope]'' :'''Julie:''' I have the pictures, Mr. Hamlin. :'''Howard:''' Thank you, Julie. ''[opens the envelope]'' And now, take a look. :''[Howard looks at the photos with Cliff, Schweikart, Casimiro, Irene and Julie looking behind him.

This is... This is not... Julie, you got the wrong envelope. :'''Julie:''' That was the only one on your desk. :'''Howard:''' Look again! :''[Julie leaves]'' :'''Howard:''' They-they've been switched. Somehow he switched them. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' No. Jimmy &ndash; he snuck in somehow, and these are not the pictures I saw. :''[Howard turns to Erin, who notices that his pupils are now dilated]'' :'''Erin:''' Mr. Hamlin, are you all right? Your eyes... :'''Howard:''' ''[agitated]'' I am fine! This is all something that will be sorted out, I am confident! :''[Cliff rises and guides Howard out of his seat]'' :'''Cliff:''' I think a recess is in order. :'''Howard:''' Nobody move! Evidence has been tampered with! :'''Cliff:''' Now Howard, please! :''[Howard and Cliff leave the conference room. Everyone left behind is stunned silent]'' :'''Irene:''' ...Is this how these usually go? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Cliff confronts Howard in his office after the fiasco in the conference room]'' :'''Howard:''' Cliff? Is that you? I'm not crazy, and I'm not on drugs. Please, come in. Now somehow, some way, that son of a bitch gave me something that dilated my pupils. I-I don't know what. But it's wearing off already, look. ''[gestures toward his eyes]'' :'''Cliff:''' You say that Jimmy McGill drugged you? How is that possible? :'''Howard:''' The-the photos. They were wet with... ''something''. :'''Cliff:''' The missing photos. :'''Howard:''' Yeah. My P.I., Genidowski, had to have been in on it. He-he must have shown me one set of photos and then switched them after I left the office. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' Three weeks ago, Julie got a call from our detective agency. They wanted to update their contact info, so of course she changed the number in the system. But it turns out, it wasn't them. That was Jimmy. So when I needed an investigator to follow Jimmy, I called his fake number and his fake man. She just dialed the old number and, of course, got the actual agency. And, no surprise, no one by the name of Genidowski had ever worked there. I hired a con man. I got played. Every step of the way. I know what it sounds like, but you have to believe me. :'''Cliff:''' I... It doesn't matter. Rich went back to the previous offer. I'll give a recommend to the class that we take it. :'''Howard:''' No. No way. We do not let Jimmy win this. :'''Cliff:''' Why would Jimmy even do this? He's a profit participant! This means less money for him! :'''Howard:''' Because he's a child! He wants his money now! He begged me months ago to settle! You know what he does! :'''Cliff:''' Whatever the truth is, we'll never get back to where we were before mediation. We have to settle. :'''Howard:''' I'm lead attorney. And I won't sanction that decision. :'''Cliff:''' Then I'm obligated to go to the partners and explain everything I've seen &ndash; all of it. You think you're gonna be able to convince them it was all Jimmy McGill? :'''Howard:''' ...Okay then. We go to trial. Cliff, this case is incredibly strong. I put this thing in front of a jury, then everything will&ndash; :'''Cliff:''' I'm not thinking about you, Howard. I'm not thinking about Jimmy. I'm thinking about the time, the expense, the uncertainty. I'm thinking about our clients! :''[Howard bows his head in defeat.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records a video message for Eladio while he's hiding in the sewers surveilling Gus' laundromat.

''[pans the camera around his belongings]'' Been here... four nights? Now, you may be asking, "What am I doing down in this shithole?" Well, [[w:Axe and Grind|a little Croatian bird told me a secret]]. Eh, he put up a hell of a fight, but he told me. Look. ''[points the camera at his target, Lavanderia Brilliante]'' See that? Right there... Fring's secret. Now, I've been watching and Fring hides his guards very well, but they're there, dressed like laundry workers. ''[zooms in on one "worker"]'' See? That's one there. They're hiding guns under the uniforms, but I see. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm up against. ''[points the camera back at himself]'' I can tell you what's in there. A big hole where a German engineer, Werner Ziegler, designed the perfect place to hide the... ''[in English]'' "mother of all meth labs." ''[in Spanish]'' Well, that's my story. And Fring? Fring will have his story, a good one, and Bolsa will back him because he's an... ''[in English]'' "earner." ''[in Spanish]'' So tonight, I go in... kill all the guards and show you the proof. And then? You decide... ''Adios.'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy and Kim are watching a movie in Kim's apartment when they hear a knock at the door.

You doing okay? :'''Howard:''' I'm fine. Sorry to interrupt this, but I brought you a gift. :'''Jimmy:''' A gift? What's the occasion? :'''Howard:''' Your brother and I, we always had a meeting with Mr. Macallan after a big victory. Usually some brilliant summation by Chuck, that goes without saying. So this, this is for you. You earned it. You won. :'''Jimmy:''' Won? Uh, what did I win? :'''Howard:''' ''[pause]'' I get it. Of course you both have to play it this way. You're both so very good at it. :'''Kim:''' It's late, Howard. Do you want to tell us what this is about? :'''Howard:''' I was wondering that too. ''[walks to the kitchen]'' What it's all about. I mean, what do you tell yourselves? What justification makes it okay? "Howard's such an asshole that he deserves it?" ''[offers two glasses to Jimmy and Kim]'' :'''Jimmy:''' We're good. :'''Howard:''' So, what is it? I sided with Chuck too often? ''[points to Kim]'' I took away your office, put you in doc review? All of the above? Howard's daddy helped him get to the top, but you both had to struggle. "Howie has so much and we have so little, let's take him down a peg or two." What allows you to do this to me? Because this isn't just a prank. No. This goes beyond [[w:Namaste (Better Call Saul)|throwing bowling balls on my car]]. This took planning, coordination. I mean, how many weeks? Or-or-or was it months? It couldn't have been easy. So tell me, why? Why go through this elaborate plot just to burn me to the ground? :'''Jimmy:''' "Burn you to the ground?" Howard, come on. Y-you'll be fine. You always land on your feet. :'''Howard:''' Yeah, sure. The Sandpiper settlement—HHM's share will be substantial, absolutely. Even though I humiliated myself. And my clients and peers will whisper that Howard Hamlin's a drug addict. You're right. I've worked my way through worse. Debt. Depression. My marriage falling apart. :''[Jimmy blinks in surprise. He and Kim exchange looks]'' :'''Howard:''' Oh, yeah. Been sleeping in the guest house for the better part of a year. Just one more thing that good ol' Howard has to work through. But yes, I will land on my feet. I will be okay. But you? Far from it. You two... you two are soulless. Jimmy, you can't help yourself. Chuck knew it. You were ''born'' that way. ''[to Kim]'' But you—one of the smartest and most promising human beings I've ever known, and ''this'' is the life you choose. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright, you're too tight to drive, I'm calling a cab— :'''Howard:''' Oh good, phony compassion. And you know what? Very, very believable. But I'm far from done. :'''Kim:''' Oh no no no. You are done, Howard. Sorry, but you need to stop this now and you need to go home. :'''Howard:''' You're perfect for each other. You have a piece missing. I-I-I thought you did it for the money, but it-it—Now it's so clear. Screw the money, you did it for fun! You get off on it! You're like [[w:Leopold and Loeb|Leopold and Loeb]], two sociopaths— :'''Jimmy:''' Alright, that's enough. :'''Howard:''' Oh, you know it's true, you just don't have the guts to admit it. :'''Kim:''' Great. Now you need to go. :'''Howard:''' I'm gonna make it clear to everyone, because I'm going to dedicate my life to making sure that everybody knows the truth. Believe it.

I didn't. I only worked for you in the desert. I was on your side the whole time. :'''Lalo''': Shhh. ''[motions for Jimmy to sit down with his gun]'' I don't care. You two... ''[chuckles; shakes his head]'' God, you two and your mouths! ''Dios mío!'' Now, ''you listen.'' ''[tosses car keys to Jimmy]'' My car's downstairs. Press the clicker, and you'll find it. This... ''[holds up small piece of paper]'' is where you are going. Don't speed, don't weave, don't cut anyone off. Just, you know, drive nice. From here, ''[checks watch]'' at this hour... I'd take 40 east, get off at Carlisle, take the third left. The rest I drew a little map for you on the back. It's not hard. So... big white brick house with a solid black door. You can't miss it. It's right at the end of the T. Park a little down the street and not up front. It's a quiet neighborhood, so you'll have plenty of options. Stating the obvious here maybe, but... turn the car off, right? So, in the glove compartment, I left you a present. There's a camera and there's a gun. And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. ''[pause]'' Simple. :'''Jimmy''': You–you want me to—?! :'''Lalo''': I know, I know. ''[casually nudges Howard's dead body with his foot]'' You're a lawyer, and you're not a killer. But look, you can do this, okay? This guy, he's a housecat! Black, medium height, short hair, glasses! He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever.

They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I...

''[pause]'' Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who— :''[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]'' :'''Gus''': Come with me. Both of you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records another video message for Don Eladio while holding Gus at gunpoint at the laundromat. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Lalo:''' Don Eladio, look who we have here. The one and only Gustavo Fring. [''chuckles''] And wearing body armor! Too bad they don't make armor for your head, eh? Now we're gonna take a little walk and show you around. ''Vamanos''. [''clicks tongue''] Don, I would've liked it if we didn't have to rush this so much. We could sit by your pool... strip this snake's skin off, inch by inch. Take our time, have some fun. But he shows up now... who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? :''[Gus stops at one of the large washers]'' :'''Lalo:''' A big machine hides a big secret. We have about... thirteen minutes until his bald ''gringo'' gets here with the cavalry, so Gustavo is going to have to give us the nickel tour. ''[beat; shoots Gus in the chest]'' Like I was saying, Gustavo is going to show us around. :''[Gus walks around and pushes a button, which opens the secret passage to the underground meth lab]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''Ha!'' Magnificent! I had a bathtub that did this, but... credit where credit is due, this is better. ''[laughs]'' ''Hijo de puta''. :''[Gus leads Lalo down a ladder and turns on the lights]'' :'''Lalo:''' [''chuckles; in English''] Okay. Drumroll, please. ''D-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r''... Ta-da! ''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole! ''[cackles]'' Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he built himself was a tomb. :'''Gus:''' You can't kill me. :'''Lalo:''' Why not? :'''Gus:''' I haven't told that fat pig Eladio what I think of him yet. :'''Lalo:''' ''Hoo-hoo!'' Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk. You done? :'''Gus:''' No. Not yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy:''' Lalo said he was coming back. :'''Mike:''' He's not coming. :'''Jimmy:''' No, he said he was, he told me— :'''Mike:''' You understand me? He is ''not coming back.'' Let's sit. ''[pause; Jimmy and Kim remain standing]'' '''''SIT.''''' :''[Jimmy and Kim sit at the foot of their bed; Mike stands in front of them.]'' :'''Mike:''' Alright. Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand? Say it out loud, I need to hear it. :'''Jimmy:''' ...I understand. :'''Kim:''' ...It never happened. === ''[[w:Fun and Games (Better Call Saul) | Fun and Games]]'' [6.09] === :'''Jimmy''': One day, we'll... We'll wake up, and brush our teeth, and we'll go to work. And at some point, we'll suddenly realize... [[w:Bad Choice Road | that we hadn't thought about it at all. None of it]]. ''[pause]'' And that's when we'll know. We'll know we can forget. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus meets with Don Eladio, Juan Bolsa, and the Salamancas late at night. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Eladio''': Don Hector has made a very serious accusation. :''[One of the Cousins hands a letter to Don Juan]'' :'''Bolsa''': These are Don Hector's words. Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak. Have you no defense? :'''Gus''': With all due respect, I don't believe this merits a response. :'''Eladio''': Did you witness these phone calls from Lalo? ''[Leonel and Marco shake their heads]'' I was told you saw Lalo's body. :'''Leonel''': Yes. :'''Marco''': It was burned. :'''Eladio''': Didn't the ''federales'' check the teeth? :'''Bolsa''': Yes, Don Eladio. My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well. ''[to Gus]'' I'd invite you to stay as well, Gustavo, but... I don't want my breakfast ruined by all the... ''[mocks Hector ringing his bell and laughs]'' Ay-yay-yay. ''[beat]'' The peace must be kept. What do you suggest? :'''Gus''': I wouldn't presume. :'''Eladio''': The South Valley will stay Salamanca territory. And the rest of the North, that'll be for you to manage. Working under Bolsa. :'''Bolsa''': Thank you, Don Eladio. :'''Gus''': ''[rises with Eladio out of his chair]'' Thank you. Your trust means everything, Don Eladio. :'''Eladio''': ''Bueno.'' Gustavo... ''[long pause]'' When I looked into your eyes... Hate. A little bit's okay. As long as you never forget who's boss. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike meets with Nacho's father outside his shop to let him know about Nacho's fate]'' :'''Manuel''': Who are you? :'''Mike''': It's not important. :'''Manuel''': I saw you here before. [[w:Cobbler (Better Call Saul)|Chrysler Fifth Avenue]]. What about my son? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, he won't be found. ''[pause]'' It was over fast. No pain. :'''Manuel''': You were there? :'''Mike''': I was there. Your son made some mistakes, he fell in with bad people... but he was never like them. Not really. He had a good heart. One more thing: you won't have to worry about the Salamancas. Their day is coming. There'll be justice. :'''Manuel''': Justice? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, my Spanish - j-''justicia.'' Justice. :'''Manuel''': ''[sighs]'' What you talk about... is not justice. What you talk of is... ''revenge.'' It never ends... my boy is gone.

I'm Jimmy McGill. You may not remember me. I'm Chuck McGill's brother. :'''Cheryl:''' Of course. :'''Jimmy:''' Very sorry for your loss. ''[sighs]'' :'''Kim:''' Cheryl, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine what you must be going through. If Jimmy and I can do anything for you or your family, please just say the word. :''[Jimmy and Kim are about to walk away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' There is something, actually. You two were the last ones to see him, weren't you? :'''Kim:''' Um... :'''Jimmy:''' I guess so. Uh, that's what the police said. :'''Cheryl:''' Howard told me that you were harassing him, playing elaborate pranks of some sort. That you wouldn't leave him alone. :'''Jimmy:''' I know he thought that. He—he—he told me as well. Um, I think he honestly believed it. :'''Cheryl:''' But you're denying it. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' You know what, I didn't leave here under the best terms. The past few years, I could have been more considerate to Howard instead of yitzing him every chance I got. I guess, uh, there was a certain amount of jealousy on my part because Howard had the, uh, respect of my brother. Which I never did. ''[Jimmy steps away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' Tell me what you told the police. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' Okay, um... Well, I mean, it was 11pm. Howard started pounding on our door. He was very upset, going on about something, um, he thought was my fault, uh... Guess it had to do with the Sandpiper case. But I—I couldn't make head or tail out of it. We tried to calm him down. But... he just—he just wouldn't, um... Finally, he left. That's—that's it. :'''Cheryl:''' I'm not oblivious. I know people are saying he was on drugs. Is that what you're trying to tell me? :'''Jimmy:''' I just... He just didn't seem like himself. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[to Cliff]'' Are you hearing all of this? Because none of it makes sense to me. :'''Cliff:''' Cheryl, maybe we should just— :'''Cheryl:''' I don't care what people are saying. I don't care what the police think. Howard was not on drugs. That simply is not true. There's something more to this. :'''Kim:''' I don't know if it's my place, but... I—I... :'''Cheryl:''' Please. Just spit it out. ''[sharply inhales]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[sighs]'' It was about a year-and-a-half ago. I was still an associate here, working late on a brief. And I saw a light on in Howard's office. I assumed the cleaning crew left it on by mistake. And I was sure that office was empty, so I didn't knock. :'''Cheryl:''' ...And? :'''Kim:''' And Howard was there at his desk, head down. And he was snorting something. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[scoffs]'' :'''Kim:''' I looked at him. He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked out. And the next morning, when we saw each other, neither of us ever said anything about it. I never told anyone. But now I wish I had. :''[Long pause]'' :'''Cheryl:''' ''[to Cliff]'' In all the years that you worked with him, have you witnessed anything like this? Even a hint? Cliff... :'''Cliff:''' I... Cheryl, this really isn't the time or the place. :''[Cheryl begins to cry]'' :'''Kim:''' Cheryl. You were his wife. You saw him every day. You knew him better than anyone. Maybe I misunderstood what I saw. You would have known. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[voice breaking]'' Please excuse me. :''[Cheryl retreats into a women's restroom]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Kim and her client are sitting in a courtroom as the presiding judge, Gabriel Dearden, takes the bench]'' :'''Bailiff:''' All rise. Court is now in session, the Honorable Judge Dearden presiding. :'''Judge Dearden:''' Good afternoon. We are here to discuss a motion to exclude evidence in ''State of New Mexico vs. Yarborough''. :'''Kim:''' ''[rises]'' Your honor, if I may. I submitted an additional motion. I'm assuming you have not seen it yet. :'''Judge Dearden:''' Did we get that? :'''Secretary:''' It just came in, judge. :''[The secretary approaches the bench and hands the motion to Judge Dearden]'' :'''Kim:''' I apologize, it was a last-minute addition. :'''Judge Dearden:''' "Last minute" is right. ''[looking through the motion]'' :''[Pause]'' :'''Judge Dearden:''' ...Do I understand this correctly? You're requesting to withdraw from this case? :'''Kim:''' Yes, your honor. My client is fully informed. And I've already been in touch with another attorney, Paige Novick. She's highly qualified and familiar with the case. She's prepared to step if you'll allow it. :'''Judge Dearden:''' Ms. Wexler, Mr. Orenstein, approach the bench. :''[Kim and the prosecutor do so]'' :'''Judge Dearden:''' ''[to Kim]'' Ms. Wexler, we are here today at your insistence to consider your motion to exclude evidence.

Are we talking about a health issue, something to do with a loved one? :'''Kim:''' No. :'''Judge Dearden:''' Would you rather discuss privately in chambers? :'''Kim:''' Thank you for the consideration, but no. :'''Judge Dearden:''' Would you care to supply any detail at all? :'''Kim:''' Your honor, I prefer not to. :'''Judge Dearden:''' ''[pause; to Orenstein]'' ...Mr. Orenstein, is the state prepared to discuss Ms. Wexler's motion? :'''Orenstein:''' We are, your honor. Absolutely. :'''Judge Dearden:''' You know what, Ms. Wexler? Mr. Orenstein's here. I'm here. We all showed up for your party, and now you're taking away the punch bowl. I'm inclined to have you argue your motion, then I'll consider later writing petitions. :'''Kim:''' I'm sorry for wasting the court's time, your honor, but it's impossible for me to continue with this hearing. :'''Judge Dearden:''' And why is that, Ms. Wexler? :'''Kim:''' Because I'm no longer an attorney. :'''Judge Dearden:''' ''[brief pause]'' ...I'm sorry, what? :'''Kim:''' I gave notice to the bar two hours ago. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy arrives home after hearing the news that Kim has quit her legal career]'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''You did what?!''

Kim, after everything that happened... I mean, Jesus! I get it! You want to climb out of your own skin! That's natural! But Kim, you don't just throw everything away! Th-th-this is your life! You're a lawyer! What about your clients, huh? What about, uh... that poor guy, Mr. Yarborough? What about the kid in foster care? Huh?! You give them everything you got! Who are they going to find who is half as good as you?! No one! They need you! :'''Kim:''' It's already done. :'''Jimmy:''' ''Ugh!'' ''[pause]'' Okay, what's done can be undone. All I'm saying is just—just let's take a week or two to think it over. For now, we're gonna take some time off. God knows we need it. We're gonna to find a new place, we're—we're gonna leave here. We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type. We're gonna roll this thing back. I'll order a pizza, we'll pull an all-nighter. Because we're in this together. Okay? So I'm gonna go get your—your printer, and then we're gonna get the hell out of here. :''[Jimmy turns to head into the bedroom]'' :'''Kim:''' Wait— Jimmy. Jimmy! :''[Jimmy enters the bedroom to discover half-full boxes and luggage everywhere]'' :'''Kim:''' You asked if you were bad for me. That's not it. We are bad for each other. :'''Jimmy:''' Kim. Don't do this. Kim, please. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... ''[holding back tears]'' ...I have had the time of my life with you. But we are bad for everyone around us. Other people suffer because of us.

Just tell me what it is, and I'll do it. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... :'''Jimmy:''' No, Kim. You make me happy. We make each other happy. How can that be bad? Hey... I love you. :'''Kim:''' I love you, too.

It was that ''fucking Lalo Salamanca!'' That psychopath came back from the dead and he walked through that door! He did this! Not us, ''him!'' :'''Kim:''' I knew. :'''Jimmy:''' You knew wh-what? :'''Kim:''' I knew he was alive. :'''Jimmy:''' No, you didn't. :'''Kim:''' It was about a month ago.

And I told myself I was protecting you. But that's not the truth. The reason I didn't tell you was because I knew what you'd do. :'''Jimmy:''' Wh-what would I do? :'''Kim:''' You'd—you'd blame yourself. You'd fear for me. You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... ''[pause]'' ...and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that.

Unfortunately, I'm booked solid. :'''Detective Roberts''': I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte.

You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. ''Career-ending'' prosecutorial misconduct! :'''Detective Roberts''': None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! ''[points at ADA Khalil]'' You got two dozen lawyers up there!

So Saul, can I get you anything before we get started? The coffee here is just unbeatable. :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, well, I'm fine. I'm fully caffeinated. :''[Kevin Wachtell walks into the room and becomes upset upon seeing Jimmy in the lounge.]'' :'''Norm:''' Well Saul, you and I are standing on hallowed ground.

How's it going? :'''Norm:''' Uh, I'm sorry. I'm sure this will just be a moment. :''[Norm goes over to Kevin and talks to him for a few moments, clearly being instructed to remove Jimmy from the premises.]'' :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman. I'm so sorry, but I've just been reminded that in fact we have a two-year waiting list. :'''Jimmy:''' Two years, wow. Maybe I could go on the tour anyway. I mean, 'cause I'm here. Just in case. :'''Norm:''' Well unfortunately, we've suspended tours for the moment. :'''Jimmy:''' You're not even giving tours? :'''Norm:''' I apologize for the inconvenience. We–we'll be happy to call you if the situation changes. You left your number? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh-huh. :'''Norm:''' Well, we'll be in touch. If the situation changes. Again, I–I am sorry for your time and trouble.

It doesn't really add up. I mean, I came in and everyone was rolling out the red carpet, and then all of a sudden something changed. I don't– :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman, I– :'''Jimmy:''' ''Goodman.'' The name. The second you heard it, everything turned on a dime. Wow. Waiting list? I think you're talking about an ''exclusion'' list. It's okay, I should have known. Because, I mean, look! ''[raises his voice and walks to the middle of the lounge, where everyone can see him]'' It's wall-to-wall mayonnaise in here!

You're saying the quiet part out loud, I think. :'''Norm:''' Gentlemen, can we just keep the volume down? :'''Kevin:''' You know damn well that's not what I meant! :'''Jimmy:''' In this day and age, I'd hoped and prayed we'd be beyond this. :'''Kevin:''' You're about as Jewish as my Aunt Fannie! :'''Jimmy:''' Five-thousand years and it never ends! :''[Kevin tries to take a swing at Jimmy, but is held back by his golf buddies.]'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Here it is!

They even gave me a plaque for it. ''[sighs]'' It was a gold plaque. Perfect attendance... But when they handed it to me, I wrenched my back. I was in so much pain, I couldn't do my job... ''[sighs again]'' which meant I couldn't put food on the table. I didn't want to sue... but with a family to support, what choice did I have?" :'''Kim''': Wait, who are you supposed to be again? :'''Jimmy''': Whatever. The backstory is just a placeholder. I'm gonna polish the script once we cast. :'''Kim''': But a personal injury suit? Best case scenario, that gets him in with an associate. :'''Jimmy''': ''[throws hands up]'' Mesothelioma. ''[clears his throat]'' "When I took that job down at the shoe factory, I had no idea I was risking my life. Now, I can't stop coughin'!" Right? Come on! Hey, a mesothelioma class-action built Clifford Main his vacation house. He hears "mesothelioma," his eyes pop! :'''Kim''': Well, sure. But then he takes the case. What happens when he asks for a medical evaluation? And how does Howard come up? :'''Jimmy''': Okay, ask me why I'm here. :'''Kim''': What brings you to Davis & Main today? :'''Jimmy''': "I'm sick. I'm really sick..." :'''Kim''': Good. :'''Jimmy''': "...and it's not mesothelioma, but it's not good. And I need a lawyer, and the pickings are slim. I already went to HHM. I met with their top guy, Howard Hamlin, and uh... Uhhh, I–I got a brother-in-law and he's got a pretty nasty coke habit, very similar energy. Just put me off. Anyway, I need a lawyer, blah-blah-blah." :'''Kim''': Okay, but you got a bad feeling from just one meeting? :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, I had the brother-in-law with the coke. :'''Kim''': Yeah, but you were only in the room with him once. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, so it's gotta be something with a history with Howard. :'''Kim''': Yeah. :'''Jimmy''': But Cliff has to want to take the meeting, but not the case. :'''Kim''': Right. :'''Jimmy''': ''[sighs]'' It's gotta be good, but not too good. :'''Kim''': Exactly. There's a sweet spot, you know. Like a magnet. We–we pull Cliff in, and then repel him.

''[shoves Jimmy]'' ''Leave!'' Because of you, we lost ''everything!'' Our kids are in public school! So why don't you go crawl back under whatever slime-covered rock you came from and leave us the heck alone?! :'''Jimmy''': Okay, I sense some anger here, but that's–that's perfectly understandable. Since you brought it up, I came here today because I was curious if you two wanted your lives back. There's actually a legal term for it: Exoneration. :'''Craig''': Oh. You know, we actually did look into that. :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Craig''': We went to a number of lawyers, and— :'''Betsy''': ''Real'' lawyers. :'''Craig''': Yes. They were all terrific, but they said that it was impossible. :'''Betsy''': ''Mm-hmm''. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, but those lawyers don't know what I know. :'''Craig''': What's that? :'''Betsy''': No, Craig. He's got an angle. :'''Jimmy''': I ''do'' have an angle, Craig. It's an angle called justice. ''[Betsy scoffs and snickers]'' Let me put it this way: I think that within Craig's case, I have found the grounds for a civil suit. A big one. ''[pause; quietly]'' Big. :'''Betsy''': ''[long pause; looks at Craig]'' Okay, then. Let's hear it. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hold your horses, because we've been down this road before. [[w:Uno (Better Call Saul)|And the last time I gave you two advice, you went straight to the competition with it.]] ''[pulls out a piece of paper from inside his suit]'' So, I just need some assurances that all my hard work isn't gonna end up in the hands of, uh, Clifford Main or some other asshole at some pretentious high-pay, white-shoe law firm. So before we talk turkey, letters of engagement. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, you remember these. I made some updates, just closed a few loopholes and whatnot. So... ''[holds out paper and pen]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[stops Craig from taking the pen]'' We're not signing anything. :'''Jimmy''': You have to sign if you want to know what I know. :'''Betsy''': ''We're not signing.'' :'''Jimmy''': Really? You're sure? :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Jimmy''': Craig? :'''Craig''': ''[looks at Betsy before shaking his head]'' Thanks anyway. :'''Jimmy''': ''[unclicks pen]'' Alright. Well, uh... Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made.

''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?!

And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him.

''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down.

It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit.

Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it.

Lalo is dead. :'''Jimmy''': ''[exhales deeply]'' Holy shit. :'''Kim''': The DA's office put it together that Lalo was calling himself De Guzman. They are pretty upset they let him go. :'''Jimmy''': I'll bet they are. :'''Kim''': Ericsen seems to think that if Lalo lied to you and you didn't know about the pseudonym, that you could break confidentiality. She wants you to talk. She says it's right. :'''Jimmy''': Well, what do you think we should do? :'''Kim''': You... should do whatever you want, Jimmy. They don't have anything on you. It's just a fishing expedition to see if you bite. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' You think I should do it? :'''Kim''': It depends. :'''Jimmy''': On what? :'''Kim''': Well... ''[sighs]'' I guess it's basically... Do you want to be a friend of the cartel or... do you want to be a rat? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Nacho is driven to a remote location with Gus, Tyrus and Victor.

Was anyone else involved? :'''Nacho:''' ''[scoffs; nods to Gus]'' Him? You think the chicken man? ''Heh.'' What a joke. Alvarez has been paying me for years &ndash; ''years''. ''[to the Salamancas]'' But you know what? I would have done it for free. Because I hate every last one of you psycho sacks of shit. I opened Lalo's gate, and I would do it again. And I'm glad what they did to him. He's a soulless pig, and I wished I'd killed him with my own hands. And you know what else, Hector? I put you in that chair. Oh, yeah. Your heart meds? I switched them for sugar pills. You were dead and buried, and I had to watch ''this'' asshole... ''[gestures to Gus]'' ...bring you back.

It landed, trust me. God, it was... beautiful. ''[pause]'' Oh, and that is not all. :'''Jimmy''': Spill. :'''Kim''': So... I'm doing the stall. I'm telling Cliff what I'm doing—what I wanna be doing. All I'm thinking is, I gotta stretch this out until you get there, but then... I don't know. I... kinda got caught up in it, and then... Cliff went for it. I mean, like, ''really'' went for it. :'''Jimmy''': What does that mean? Like, money? :'''Kim''': I don't think he'll write a check himself, but he knows people. And I think he'll deliver. :'''Jimmy''': You're kidding! :'''Kim''': I know! How great is that? :'''Jimmy''': This is unbelievable. ''[Kim laughs]'' Are we on a roll, or are we on a roll?

What is, "this?" :'''Bill''': I understand advocating for your client. Deep in my heart, I get it. But you scammed the court. You scammed the judge, and for what? To get a murdering cartel psychopath back out on the street? It's just... wrong. :'''Jimmy''': That's a lot of big talk, Bill. Prove it. Prove it, Bill! :'''Bill''': There's proving, and then there's knowing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike''': They're gone. :'''Kim''': I'm sorry? :'''Mike''': The two men that were following you.

Why? :'''Jimmy''': It's a long story, but upshot is she wants me out of there with extreme prejudice. :'''Kim''': Wow. Bad day, huh? :'''Jimmy''': Well, no. It was a... great day. With actual paying clients. The word is out! People were throwing cash retainers at me just to say Saul Goodman is their lawyer. :'''Kim''': Because of who you represented. :'''Jimmy''': Well, I mean, that's part of it. But the bottom line is I need a new place for new business pronto. Now, this place is a shithole, but the price is right. And I think I can talk the landlord into a month-to-month. So, it's temporary until I find something better. ''[sighs; pause]'' Hey. What do you think? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' It's small. It's... dirty. And this whole place smells funny.

Instead of an actor dressed as Casimiro as he had seen earlier, the photos show Jimmy sitting at a park bench exchanging a frisbee with the Sound Guy, dressed as a jogger]'' :'''Casimiro:''' ...Is that supposed to be ''me''? :'''Howard:''' I, uh... This is... This is not... Julie, you got the wrong envelope. :'''Julie:''' That was the only one on your desk. :'''Howard:''' Look again! :''[Julie leaves]'' :'''Howard:''' They-they've been switched. Somehow he switched them. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' No. Jimmy &ndash; he snuck in somehow, and these are not the pictures I saw. :''[Howard turns to Erin, who notices that his pupils are now dilated]'' :'''Erin:''' Mr. Hamlin, are you all right? Your eyes... :'''Howard:''' ''[agitated]'' I am fine! This is all something that will be sorted out, I am confident! :''[Cliff rises and guides Howard out of his seat]'' :'''Cliff:''' I think a recess is in order. :'''Howard:''' Nobody move! Evidence has been tampered with! :'''Cliff:''' Now Howard, please! :''[Howard and Cliff leave the conference room. Everyone left behind is stunned silent]'' :'''Irene:''' ...Is this how these usually go? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Cliff confronts Howard in his office after the fiasco in the conference room]'' :'''Howard:''' Cliff? Is that you? I'm not crazy, and I'm not on drugs. Please, come in. Now somehow, some way, that son of a bitch gave me something that dilated my pupils. I-I don't know what. But it's wearing off already, look. ''[gestures toward his eyes]'' :'''Cliff:''' You say that Jimmy McGill drugged you? How is that possible? :'''Howard:''' The-the photos. They were wet with... ''something''. :'''Cliff:''' The missing photos. :'''Howard:''' Yeah. My P.I., Genidowski, had to have been in on it. He-he must have shown me one set of photos and then switched them after I left the office. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' Three weeks ago, Julie got a call from our detective agency. They wanted to update their contact info, so of course she changed the number in the system. But it turns out, it wasn't them. That was Jimmy. So when I needed an investigator to follow Jimmy, I called his fake number and his fake man. She just dialed the old number and, of course, got the actual agency. And, no surprise, no one by the name of Genidowski had ever worked there. I hired a con man. I got played. Every step of the way. I know what it sounds like, but you have to believe me. :'''Cliff:''' I... It doesn't matter. Rich went back to the previous offer. I'll give a recommend to the class that we take it. :'''Howard:''' No. No way. We do not let Jimmy win this. :'''Cliff:''' Why would Jimmy even do this? He's a profit participant! This means less money for him! :'''Howard:''' Because he's a child! He wants his money now! He begged me months ago to settle! You know what he does! :'''Cliff:''' Whatever the truth is, we'll never get back to where we were before mediation. We have to settle. :'''Howard:''' I'm lead attorney. And I won't sanction that decision. :'''Cliff:''' Then I'm obligated to go to the partners and explain everything I've seen &ndash; all of it. You think you're gonna be able to convince them it was all Jimmy McGill? :'''Howard:''' ...Okay then. We go to trial. Cliff, this case is incredibly strong. I put this thing in front of a jury, then everything will&ndash; :'''Cliff:''' I'm not thinking about you, Howard. I'm not thinking about Jimmy. I'm thinking about the time, the expense, the uncertainty. I'm thinking about our clients! :''[Howard bows his head in defeat.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records a video message for Eladio while he's hiding in the sewers surveilling Gus' laundromat. The dialogue switches between Spanish and English.]'' :'''Lalo''': Don Eladio. Guess who? It's Lalo, I'm alive! ''[chuckles]'' I'm here in beautiful downtown Albuquerque. ''[pans the camera around his belongings]'' Been here... four nights? Now, you may be asking, "What am I doing down in this shithole?" Well, [[w:Axe and Grind|a little Croatian bird told me a secret]]. Eh, he put up a hell of a fight, but he told me. Look. ''[points the camera at his target, Lavanderia Brilliante]'' See that? Right there... Fring's secret. Now, I've been watching and Fring hides his guards very well, but they're there, dressed like laundry workers. ''[zooms in on one "worker"]'' See? That's one there. They're hiding guns under the uniforms, but I see. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm up against. ''[points the camera back at himself]'' I can tell you what's in there. A big hole where a German engineer, Werner Ziegler, designed the perfect place to hide the... ''[in English]'' "mother of all meth labs." ''[in Spanish]'' Well, that's my story. And Fring? Fring will have his story, a good one, and Bolsa will back him because he's an... ''[in English]'' "earner." ''[in Spanish]'' So tonight, I go in... kill all the guards and show you the proof. And then? You decide... ''Adios.'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy and Kim are watching a movie in Kim's apartment when they hear a knock at the door. It's revealed to be Howard, disheveled and holding a bottle of Macallan scotch whisky.]'' :'''Howard:''' Can I come in? :'''Jimmy:''' Yeah. Come on. :'''Howard:''' Kim. :'''Kim:''' Howard. You doing okay? :'''Howard:''' I'm fine. Sorry to interrupt this, but I brought you a gift. :'''Jimmy:''' A gift? What's the occasion? :'''Howard:''' Your brother and I, we always had a meeting with Mr. Macallan after a big victory. Usually some brilliant summation by Chuck, that goes without saying. So this, this is for you. You earned it. You won. :'''Jimmy:''' Won? Uh, what did I win? :'''Howard:''' ''[pause]'' I get it. Of course you both have to play it this way. You're both so very good at it. :'''Kim:''' It's late, Howard. Do you want to tell us what this is about? :'''Howard:''' I was wondering that too. ''[walks to the kitchen]'' What it's all about. I mean, what do you tell yourselves? What justification makes it okay? "Howard's such an asshole that he deserves it?" ''[offers two glasses to Jimmy and Kim]'' :'''Jimmy:''' We're good. :'''Howard:''' So, what is it? I sided with Chuck too often? ''[points to Kim]'' I took away your office, put you in doc review? All of the above? Howard's daddy helped him get to the top, but you both had to struggle. "Howie has so much and we have so little, let's take him down a peg or two." What allows you to do this to me? Because this isn't just a prank. No. This goes beyond [[w:Namaste (Better Call Saul)|throwing bowling balls on my car]]. This took planning, coordination. I mean, how many weeks? Or-or-or was it months? It couldn't have been easy. So tell me, why? Why go through this elaborate plot just to burn me to the ground? :'''Jimmy:''' "Burn you to the ground?" Howard, come on. Y-you'll be fine. You always land on your feet. :'''Howard:''' Yeah, sure. The Sandpiper settlement—HHM's share will be substantial, absolutely. Even though I humiliated myself. And my clients and peers will whisper that Howard Hamlin's a drug addict. You're right. I've worked my way through worse. Debt. Depression. My marriage falling apart. :''[Jimmy blinks in surprise. He and Kim exchange looks]'' :'''Howard:''' Oh, yeah. Been sleeping in the guest house for the better part of a year. Just one more thing that good ol' Howard has to work through. But yes, I will land on my feet. I will be okay. But you? Far from it. You two... you two are soulless. Jimmy, you can't help yourself. Chuck knew it. You were ''born'' that way. ''[to Kim]'' But you—one of the smartest and most promising human beings I've ever known, and ''this'' is the life you choose. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright, you're too tight to drive, I'm calling a cab— :'''Howard:''' Oh good, phony compassion. And you know what? Very, very believable. But I'm far from done. :'''Kim:''' Oh no no no. You are done, Howard. Sorry, but you need to stop this now and you need to go home. :'''Howard:''' You're perfect for each other. You have a piece missing. I-I-I thought you did it for the money, but it-it—Now it's so clear. Screw the money, you did it for fun! You get off on it! You're like [[w:Leopold and Loeb|Leopold and Loeb]], two sociopaths— :'''Jimmy:''' Alright, that's enough. :'''Howard:''' Oh, you know it's true, you just don't have the guts to admit it. :'''Kim:''' Great. Now you need to go. :'''Howard:''' I'm gonna make it clear to everyone, because I'm going to dedicate my life to making sure that everybody knows the truth. Believe it. You can't hide who you really are forever. :''[Jimmy reflexively shields Kim as Lalo Salamanca enters the room; Jimmy is stunned]'' :'''Jimmy:''' How... :''[Howard turns around and see Lalo, who non-chalantly stands next to him]'' :'''Kim:''' H-Howard... Howard. Howard, you need to leave. :'''Howard:''' ''[to Lalo]'' Who are you? :'''Lalo:''' Me? Nobody. I just need to talk to my lawyers. :'''Howard:''' ''[scoffs]'' Oh, is that right? You want some advice? Find better lawyers. :'''Kim:''' Howard, please j-just... just... just turn around— :'''Lalo:''' No, no, no, no, no. Take your time. :'''Howard:''' ''[to Kim]'' What's this about? :''[Lalo calmly takes a pistol out of his pocket and screws a silencer onto the muzzle]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[to Lalo]'' Please... please, just tell us what you want. :'''Lalo:''' ''[shrugs]'' Like I said. To talk. :'''Howard:''' I, uh... I think I'm in the middle of something, uh... There's really no need to— :''[Lalo puts the gun to Howard's head and pulls the trigger; Howard falls onto the floor, killed instantly. Jimmy and Kim scream.]'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Please, no!'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''No! No!'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[holds out his hand to quiet them down]'' ''Shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh.'' Okay. Let's talk. === ''[[w:Point and Shoot (Better Call Saul) | Point and Shoot]]'' [6.08] === :''[Jimmy and Kim are cowering in terror when Lalo forces them to sit on their couch]'' :'''Jimmy''': I never turned on you. I didn't. I only worked for you in the desert. I was on your side the whole time. :'''Lalo''': Shhh. ''[motions for Jimmy to sit down with his gun]'' I don't care. You two... ''[chuckles; shakes his head]'' God, you two and your mouths! ''Dios mío!'' Now, ''you listen.'' ''[tosses car keys to Jimmy]'' My car's downstairs. Press the clicker, and you'll find it. This... ''[holds up small piece of paper]'' is where you are going. Don't speed, don't weave, don't cut anyone off. Just, you know, drive nice. From here, ''[checks watch]'' at this hour... I'd take 40 east, get off at Carlisle, take the third left. The rest I drew a little map for you on the back. It's not hard. So... big white brick house with a solid black door. You can't miss it. It's right at the end of the T. Park a little down the street and not up front. It's a quiet neighborhood, so you'll have plenty of options. Stating the obvious here maybe, but... turn the car off, right? So, in the glove compartment, I left you a present. There's a camera and there's a gun. And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. ''[pause]'' Simple. :'''Jimmy''': You–you want me to—?! :'''Lalo''': I know, I know. ''[casually nudges Howard's dead body with his foot]'' You're a lawyer, and you're not a killer. But look, you can do this, okay? This guy, he's a housecat! Black, medium height, short hair, glasses! He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever. Give her the keys, give her the address. Let's go. ''[walks toward the front door]'' :'''Kim''': ''[to Jimmy]'' No. Don't... Don't. :'''Jimmy''': You... you gotta go. :'''Kim''': ''[softly]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': Come on. Hey... ''[whispering]'' Let's go. :''[Kim reluctantly gets up and is about to leave the apartment, but Lalo stops her]'' :'''Lalo''': Hold on.

Okay, ''[looks at watch]'' so one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair while interrogating him about the assassination attempt at his hacienda]'' :'''Lalo''': You know, after I saw you last, I went home. My home. ''Mi cielito lindo''... And you know what happened? Men came. Armed men, in the middle of the night. To my home. Trying to get to me. And you know what they did? They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I... I have–I have no idea. :'''Lalo''': Ignacio Varga. ''He'' let them in. And who did Ignacio introduce me to? ''[taps Jimmy's head]'' You. :'''Jimmy''': Ignacio... Nacho? ''[brief pause]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa! I–I barely know Ignacio! Whatever he did, he did alone! Not with me! Listen, you gotta believe me! Hand to God, I had no part in this—it wasn't me! ''It was '''Igna—''''' :''[Lalo sneaks up from behind and gags Jimmy with a rolled-up shirt]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[through the gag]'' Ignacio! It's not me! Listen, listen!

And then you... are gonna tell me ''the whole story.'' :''[Before leaving the apartment, Lalo presses play on the movie Jimmy and Kim were watching earlier and turns up the volume.

''[Mike looks shocked]'' He's there! He–he is there with Jimmy now! :'''Mike''': Salamanca is at your apartment?! :'''Kim''': Yes! He sent ''me!'' He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me. :'''Mike''': To do what exactly?! ''[pause; Kim hyperventilates]'' Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here? :'''Kim''': ''[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus]'' Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it.

''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole!

Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk.

Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand?

Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak.

My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well.

No pain. :'''Manuel''': You were there? :'''Mike''': I was there. Your son made some mistakes, he fell in with bad people... but he was never like them. Not really. He had a good heart. One more thing: you won't have to worry about the Salamancas. Their day is coming. There'll be justice. :'''Manuel''': Justice? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, my Spanish - j-''justicia.''

You two were the last ones to see him, weren't you? :'''Kim:''' Um... :'''Jimmy:''' I guess so. Uh, that's what the police said. :'''Cheryl:''' Howard told me that you were harassing him, playing elaborate pranks of some sort. That you wouldn't leave him alone. :'''Jimmy:''' I know he thought that. He—he—he told me as well. Um, I think he honestly believed it. :'''Cheryl:''' But you're denying it. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' You know what, I didn't leave here under the best terms. The past few years, I could have been more considerate to Howard instead of yitzing him every chance I got. I guess, uh, there was a certain amount of jealousy on my part because Howard had the, uh, respect of my brother. Which I never did. ''[Jimmy steps away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' Tell me what you told the police. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' Okay, um... Well, I mean, it was 11pm. Howard started pounding on our door. He was very upset, going on about something, um, he thought was my fault, uh... Guess it had to do with the Sandpiper case. But I—I couldn't make head or tail out of it. We tried to calm him down. But... he just—he just wouldn't, um... Finally, he left. That's—that's it. :'''Cheryl:''' I'm not oblivious. I know people are saying he was on drugs.

Because none of it makes sense to me. :'''Cliff:''' Cheryl, maybe we should just— :'''Cheryl:''' I don't care what people are saying. I don't care what the police think. Howard was not on drugs. That simply is not true. There's something more to this. :'''Kim:''' I don't know if it's my place, but... I—I... :'''Cheryl:''' Please. Just spit it out. ''[sharply inhales]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[sighs]'' It was about a year-and-a-half ago. I was still an associate here, working late on a brief. And I saw a light on in Howard's office. I assumed the cleaning crew left it on by mistake. And I was sure that office was empty, so I didn't knock. :'''Cheryl:''' ...And? :'''Kim:''' And Howard was there at his desk, head down. And he was snorting something. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[scoffs]'' :'''Kim:''' I looked at him. He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked out. And the next morning, when we saw each other, neither of us ever said anything about it. I never told anyone.

My client is fully informed. And I've already been in touch with another attorney, Paige Novick. She's highly qualified and familiar with the case.

We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type. We're gonna roll this thing back. I'll order a pizza, we'll pull an all-nighter. Because we're in this together. Okay?

You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... ''[pause]'' ...and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that.

I'm gonna polish the script once we cast. :'''Kim''': But a personal injury suit? Best case scenario, that gets him in with an associate. :'''Jimmy''': ''[throws hands up]'' Mesothelioma. ''[clears his throat]'' "When I took that job down at the shoe factory, I had no idea I was risking my life. Now, I can't stop coughin'!" Right? Come on! Hey, a mesothelioma class-action built Clifford Main his vacation house. He hears "mesothelioma," his eyes pop! :'''Kim''': Well, sure. But then he takes the case. What happens when he asks for a medical evaluation? And how does Howard come up? :'''Jimmy''': Okay, ask me why I'm here. :'''Kim''': What brings you to Davis & Main today? :'''Jimmy''': "I'm sick. I'm really sick..." :'''Kim''': Good. :'''Jimmy''': "...and it's not mesothelioma, but it's not good. And I need a lawyer, and the pickings are slim. I already went to HHM. I met with their top guy, Howard Hamlin, and uh... Uhhh, I–I got a brother-in-law and he's got a pretty nasty coke habit, very similar energy. Just put me off. Anyway, I need a lawyer, blah-blah-blah." :'''Kim''': Okay, but you got a bad feeling from just one meeting? :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, I had the brother-in-law with the coke. :'''Kim''': Yeah, but you were only in the room with him once. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, so it's gotta be something with a history with Howard. :'''Kim''': Yeah. :'''Jimmy''': But Cliff has to want to take the meeting, but not the case. :'''Kim''': Right. :'''Jimmy''': ''[sighs]'' It's gotta be good, but not too good. :'''Kim''': Exactly. There's a sweet spot, you know. Like a magnet. We–we pull Cliff in, and then repel him. ''[beat]'' Oh! :'''Jimmy''': What? :'''Kim''': ''[sighs]'' You are going to ''hate'' this... <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy tracks down the Kettlemans to their shady tax preparation office and tries to rope them into his and Kim's plan to ruin Howard]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[to Jimmy]'' You've got some nerve coming here after what you did! ''[shoves Jimmy]'' ''Leave!'' Because of you, we lost ''everything!'' Our kids are in public school! So why don't you go crawl back under whatever slime-covered rock you came from and leave us the heck alone?! :'''Jimmy''': Okay, I sense some anger here, but that's–that's perfectly understandable. Since you brought it up, I came here today because I was curious if you two wanted your lives back. There's actually a legal term for it: Exoneration. :'''Craig''': Oh. You know, we actually did look into that. :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Craig''': We went to a number of lawyers, and— :'''Betsy''': ''Real'' lawyers. :'''Craig''': Yes. They were all terrific, but they said that it was impossible. :'''Betsy''': ''Mm-hmm''. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, but those lawyers don't know what I know. :'''Craig''': What's that? :'''Betsy''': No, Craig. He's got an angle. :'''Jimmy''': I ''do'' have an angle, Craig. It's an angle called justice. ''[Betsy scoffs and snickers]'' Let me put it this way: I think that within Craig's case, I have found the grounds for a civil suit. A big one. ''[pause; quietly]'' Big. :'''Betsy''': ''[long pause; looks at Craig]'' Okay, then. Let's hear it. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hold your horses, because we've been down this road before. [[w:Uno (Better Call Saul)|And the last time I gave you two advice, you went straight to the competition with it.]] ''[pulls out a piece of paper from inside his suit]'' So, I just need some assurances that all my hard work isn't gonna end up in the hands of, uh, Clifford Main or some other asshole at some pretentious high-pay, white-shoe law firm. So before we talk turkey, letters of engagement. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, you remember these. I made some updates, just closed a few loopholes and whatnot. So... ''[holds out paper and pen]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[stops Craig from taking the pen]'' We're not signing anything. :'''Jimmy''': You have to sign if you want to know what I know. :'''Betsy''': ''We're not signing.'' :'''Jimmy''': Really? You're sure? :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Jimmy''': Craig? :'''Craig''': ''[looks at Betsy before shaking his head]'' Thanks anyway. :'''Jimmy''': ''[unclicks pen]'' Alright. Well, uh... Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made. ''[turns his back to Craig for him to sign the letter]'' Here you go. :'''Betsy''': ''[after Craig signs the letter]'' So what do you know? :'''Jimmy''': You got one, too, Betsy. ''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?! The second you say where you got this information from, guess who automatically gets a cut?! ''Me! So go ahead! Go ahead, see what happens!'' :''[Jimmy pretends to be upset after the Kettlemans leave, but slowly starts smiling as he walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus and Juan Bolsa visit Hector at Casa Tranquila to send their condolences, still believing that Lalo is dead. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Bolsa''': He wishes to make amends. At least hear him out. :'''Gus''': Don Hector. It's no secret that I did not see eye to eye with your nephew. And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him. And then your family will have justice. :''[Hector slowly reaches his hand out to Gus. As Gus holds his hand, he notices a change of expression on Hector's face and stares at him. Cut to outside the nursing home.]'' :'''Bolsa''': ''[to Gus in English]'' We'll be in touch. :''[Gus calls Mike on his cell phone after Bolsa drives away]'' :'''Mike''': What did you learn? :'''Gus''': Lalo Salamanca lives. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy gets a call from Betsy Kettleman after she finds out there was no case against Howard]'' :'''Jimmy''': Saul Goodman, speedy justice for you. Oh, wait! Okay, just take a breath, and then we can... Okay, okay. I can tell you're upset. Just... I–I never advised that. No. ''[sighs]'' No, I did not, so let's agree to disagree. ''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down. Let me find him, bring him back before the Salamancas sweep him up. It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit. I've been calling Varga for hours. He hasn't picked up once. :'''Mike''': He's been trying to get me since he left the Salamancas. ''[opens phone]'' You want me to answer it? :''[Tyrus turns to Gus, who nods. Mike answers the phone and speaks to Nacho]'' :'''Mike''': Yeah. ''[pause]'' Yeah. ...Not my call.

I don't know anything about schemes or character assassination or whatnot, but... ''[clears throat]'' if you're feeling slighted, we can make it right.

I'm guessing you want something. :'''Betsy:''' Do what you promised. :'''Jimmy:''' Do what I what? :'''Betsy:''' Exonerate Craig. Get his good name back. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright. Well, as you've been advised, for a number of reasons that's not gonna happen. :'''Betsy:''' It ''is'' gonna happen. It is. It's... You're just gonna have to figure out a way. :'''Craig:''' If anyone can do this, it's you. :'''Betsy:''' I know you don't want us going to Howard Hamlin. Because whatever it is you're up to, I'm sure he would be ''very'' interested. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, let's just go easy on the threats. :'''Betsy:''' We want our lives back! The way they were before.

Good to hear from you. :'''Kim:''' How are Noreen and the boys? :'''Justin:''' Oh, hanging in. Noreen always talks about having you by for dinner some time. :'''Kim:''' We should do that. Tell her to call me. Listen, I was wondering who your CID officer is these days. :'''Justin:''' You have something for us? :'''Kim:''' Oh, I just might: Tax preparer fraud. A lot of it. :'''Justin:''' I'm listening. :'''Kim:''' Well, it's this, uh, run-down little mom-and-pop outfit I've had my eye on for a while. ''[chuckles]'' Don't ask me why. Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it. Talk soon. :'''Betsy:''' You don't have to do this. :'''Kim:''' ''[to Betsy]'' Don't I? Betsy... You'll probably get twenty-four months, maybe eighteen with good behavior. But Craig? You are a two-time loser. They will definitely make an example out of you. Each false return they discover will be a separate felony. What are we talking? A hundred? :'''Betsy:''' Uh... :'''Kim:''' Two-hundred? :'''Tony:''' ''[beat]'' CID, Anthony Oropallo speaking. :''[Betsy runs to the phone and slams down the receiver to end the call]'' :'''Betsy:''' Please.

Tell them you made an accounting error, tell them you're crooks who had a change of heart, I don't care. Give them what they are legally owed. Everything you stole. And then after that, you're going to forget you ever heard the name Howard Hamlin. I'm keeping my eye on both of you. You think you've lost everything?

So, it's temporary until I find something better. ''[sighs; pause]'' Hey. What do you think? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' It's small. It's... dirty. And this whole place smells funny.

Now you need to go. :'''Howard:''' I'm gonna make it clear to everyone, because I'm going to dedicate my life to making sure that everybody knows the truth. Believe it. You can't hide who you really are forever. :''[Jimmy reflexively shields Kim as Lalo Salamanca enters the room; Jimmy is stunned]'' :'''Jimmy:''' How... :''[Howard turns around and see Lalo, who non-chalantly stands next to him]'' :'''Kim:''' H-Howard... Howard. Howard, you need to leave. :'''Howard:''' ''[to Lalo]'' Who are you? :'''Lalo:''' Me? Nobody. I just need to talk to my lawyers. :'''Howard:''' ''[scoffs]'' Oh, is that right? You want some advice? Find better lawyers. :'''Kim:''' Howard, please j-just... just... just turn around— :'''Lalo:''' No, no, no, no, no. Take your time. :'''Howard:''' ''[to Kim]'' What's this about? :''[Lalo calmly takes a pistol out of his pocket and screws a silencer onto the muzzle]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[to Lalo]'' Please... please, just tell us what you want. :'''Lalo:''' ''[shrugs]'' Like I said. To talk. :'''Howard:''' I, uh... I think I'm in the middle of something, uh... There's really no need to— :''[Lalo puts the gun to Howard's head and pulls the trigger; Howard falls onto the floor, killed instantly. Jimmy and Kim scream.]'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Please, no!'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''No! No!'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[holds out his hand to quiet them down]'' ''Shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh.'' Okay. Let's talk. === ''[[w:Point and Shoot (Better Call Saul) | Point and Shoot]]'' [6.08] === :''[Jimmy and Kim are cowering in terror when Lalo forces them to sit on their couch]'' :'''Jimmy''': I never turned on you. I didn't. I only worked for you in the desert. I was on your side the whole time. :'''Lalo''': Shhh. ''[motions for Jimmy to sit down with his gun]'' I don't care. You two... ''[chuckles; shakes his head]'' God, you two and your mouths! ''Dios mío!'' Now, ''you listen.'' ''[tosses car keys to Jimmy]'' My car's downstairs. Press the clicker, and you'll find it. This... ''[holds up small piece of paper]'' is where you are going. Don't speed, don't weave, don't cut anyone off. Just, you know, drive nice. From here, ''[checks watch]'' at this hour... I'd take 40 east, get off at Carlisle, take the third left. The rest I drew a little map for you on the back. It's not hard. So... big white brick house with a solid black door. You can't miss it. It's right at the end of the T. Park a little down the street and not up front. It's a quiet neighborhood, so you'll have plenty of options. Stating the obvious here maybe, but... turn the car off, right? So, in the glove compartment, I left you a present. There's a camera and there's a gun. And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. ''[pause]'' Simple. :'''Jimmy''': You–you want me to—?! :'''Lalo''': I know, I know. ''[casually nudges Howard's dead body with his foot]'' You're a lawyer, and you're not a killer. But look, you can do this, okay? This guy, he's a housecat! Black, medium height, short hair, glasses! He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever. Give her the keys, give her the address. Let's go. ''[walks toward the front door]'' :'''Kim''': ''[to Jimmy]'' No. Don't... Don't. :'''Jimmy''': You... you gotta go. :'''Kim''': ''[softly]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': Come on. Hey... ''[whispering]'' Let's go. :''[Kim reluctantly gets up and is about to leave the apartment, but Lalo stops her]'' :'''Lalo''': Hold on. ''[pause; Kim looks at him]'' You're gonna need your shoes, right? :''[Kim stares at Jimmy while she puts her shoes on]'' :'''Lalo''': There you go! Okay, ''[looks at watch]'' so one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair while interrogating him about the assassination attempt at his hacienda]'' :'''Lalo''': You know, after I saw you last, I went home. My home. ''Mi cielito lindo''... And you know what happened? Men came. Armed men, in the middle of the night. To my home. Trying to get to me. And you know what they did? They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I... I have–I have no idea. :'''Lalo''': Ignacio Varga. ''He'' let them in. And who did Ignacio introduce me to? ''[taps Jimmy's head]'' You. :'''Jimmy''': Ignacio... Nacho? ''[brief pause]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa! I–I barely know Ignacio! Whatever he did, he did alone! Not with me! Listen, you gotta believe me! Hand to God, I had no part in this—it wasn't me! ''It was '''Igna—''''' :''[Lalo sneaks up from behind and gags Jimmy with a rolled-up shirt]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[through the gag]'' Ignacio! It's not me! Listen, listen! I–I don't know about... :'''Lalo''': Save it. ''[looks Jimmy in the eyes]'' I'm gonna come back. And then you... are gonna tell me ''the whole story.'' :''[Before leaving the apartment, Lalo presses play on the movie Jimmy and Kim were watching earlier and turns up the volume. He picks up Jimmy's car keys by the front door.]'' :'''Lalo''': Ford Taurus... taupe? ''[rolls eyes and shakes his head before leaving]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike disarms Kim and forces her inside Gus' house before she can shoot. Gus watches Mike question her through surveillance monitors at his neighbors' residence.]'' :'''Kim''': What are you doing?! I–I have to go! I have to—No, wait! :'''Mike''': Ms. Wexler, I'd like you to sit down. :'''Kim''': He'll–He'll kill him! You have to... You— :'''Mike''': Now, sit there and be calm! :'''Kim''': No, I have to get back! ''I have to get back!'' :'''Mike''': ''[restrains her and forces her back down]'' Sit ''still''... and stay calm. Now, if you take a deep breath—a ''deep'' breath—nothing's gonna happen here until you calm yourself. Alright? Now, who is killing who? :'''Kim''': Lalo Salamanca! Lalo is going to kill Jimmy! ''[Mike looks shocked]'' He's there! He–he is there with Jimmy now! :'''Mike''': Salamanca is at your apartment?! :'''Kim''': Yes! He sent ''me!'' He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me. :'''Mike''': To do what exactly?! ''[pause; Kim hyperventilates]'' Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here? :'''Kim''': ''[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus]'' Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it. I only have twenty minutes left! Please! ''[Mike quickly looks and nods at one of his guys]'' He is ''alone'' with him! :'''Mike''': Alright, stay put. We'll handle this. We ''will'' handle this. ''[to Victor]'' You call Tyrus. Get him to the condo ''now.'' :'''Kim''': You said you were watching us! WHERE WERE YOU?! HUH?! ''[Mike leaves]'' '''WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!''' :''[Kim tries to get up, but Victor stands in her way and forces her to sit down again]'' :'''Victor''': You heard what the man said. :''[Mike walks through the corridor connecting the two homes and reports to Gus.]'' :'''Mike''': You heard all that? ''[Gus nods]'' Alright. You hunker down here. ''[to two bodyguards]'' You two, you stay with him. A dog barks too loud, you are on the phone with me. ''[to Arthur and Tyrus]'' You two, come with me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After growing restless over Lalo's whereabouts, Gus calls Victor and asks him to speak to Kim about Lalo]'' :'''Gus''': Why did Lalo send you? :'''Kim''': Who is this? :'''Victor''': Answer him. ''[points behind him]'' :'''Kim''': ''[pause]'' He didn't want to send me. Not at first. He wanted to send my husband... but my husband talked him out of it because he wanted to get me out of there. :'''Gus''': He... talked Lalo out of it? :'''Kim''': That's right. ''[pause]'' Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who— :''[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]'' :'''Gus''': Come with me. Both of you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records another video message for Don Eladio while holding Gus at gunpoint at the laundromat. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Lalo:''' Don Eladio, look who we have here. The one and only Gustavo Fring. [''chuckles''] And wearing body armor! Too bad they don't make armor for your head, eh? Now we're gonna take a little walk and show you around. ''Vamanos''. [''clicks tongue''] Don, I would've liked it if we didn't have to rush this so much. We could sit by your pool... strip this snake's skin off, inch by inch. Take our time, have some fun. But he shows up now... who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? :''[Gus stops at one of the large washers]'' :'''Lalo:''' A big machine hides a big secret. We have about... thirteen minutes until his bald ''gringo'' gets here with the cavalry, so Gustavo is going to have to give us the nickel tour. ''[beat; shoots Gus in the chest]'' Like I was saying, Gustavo is going to show us around. :''[Gus walks around and pushes a button, which opens the secret passage to the underground meth lab]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''Ha!'' Magnificent! I had a bathtub that did this, but... credit where credit is due, this is better. ''[laughs]'' ''Hijo de puta''. :''[Gus leads Lalo down a ladder and turns on the lights]'' :'''Lalo:''' [''chuckles; in English''] Okay. Drumroll, please. ''D-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r''... Ta-da! ''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole! ''[cackles]'' Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he built himself was a tomb. :'''Gus:''' You can't kill me. :'''Lalo:''' Why not? :'''Gus:''' I haven't told that fat pig Eladio what I think of him yet. :'''Lalo:''' ''Hoo-hoo!'' Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk. You done? :'''Gus:''' No. Not yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy:''' Lalo said he was coming back. :'''Mike:''' He's not coming. :'''Jimmy:''' No, he said he was, he told me— :'''Mike:''' You understand me? He is ''not coming back.'' Let's sit. ''[pause; Jimmy and Kim remain standing]'' '''''SIT.''''' :''[Jimmy and Kim sit at the foot of their bed; Mike stands in front of them.]'' :'''Mike:''' Alright. Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand? Say it out loud, I need to hear it. :'''Jimmy:''' ...I understand. :'''Kim:''' ...It never happened. === ''[[w:Fun and Games (Better Call Saul) | Fun and Games]]'' [6.09] === :'''Jimmy''': One day, we'll... We'll wake up, and brush our teeth, and we'll go to work. And at some point, we'll suddenly realize... [[w:Bad Choice Road | that we hadn't thought about it at all. None of it]]. ''[pause]'' And that's when we'll know. We'll know we can forget. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus meets with Don Eladio, Juan Bolsa, and the Salamancas late at night. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Eladio''': Don Hector has made a very serious accusation. :''[One of the Cousins hands a letter to Don Juan]'' :'''Bolsa''': These are Don Hector's words. Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak. Have you no defense? :'''Gus''': With all due respect, I don't believe this merits a response. :'''Eladio''': Did you witness these phone calls from Lalo? ''[Leonel and Marco shake their heads]'' I was told you saw Lalo's body. :'''Leonel''': Yes. :'''Marco''': It was burned. :'''Eladio''': Didn't the ''federales'' check the teeth? :'''Bolsa''': Yes, Don Eladio. My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well. ''[to Gus]'' I'd invite you to stay as well, Gustavo, but... I don't want my breakfast ruined by all the... ''[mocks Hector ringing his bell and laughs]'' Ay-yay-yay. ''[beat]'' The peace must be kept. What do you suggest? :'''Gus''': I wouldn't presume. :'''Eladio''': The South Valley will stay Salamanca territory. And the rest of the North, that'll be for you to manage. Working under Bolsa. :'''Bolsa''': Thank you, Don Eladio. :'''Gus''': ''[rises with Eladio out of his chair]'' Thank you. Your trust means everything, Don Eladio. :'''Eladio''': ''Bueno.'' Gustavo... ''[long pause]'' When I looked into your eyes... Hate. A little bit's okay.

No pain. :'''Manuel''': You were there? :'''Mike''': I was there. Your son made some mistakes, he fell in with bad people... but he was never like them. Not really. He had a good heart. One more thing: you won't have to worry about the Salamancas. Their day is coming. There'll be justice. :'''Manuel''': Justice? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, my Spanish - j-''justicia.'' Justice. :'''Manuel''': ''[sighs]'' What you talk about... is not justice. What you talk of is... ''revenge.'' It never ends... my boy is gone.

Um, I think he honestly believed it. :'''Cheryl:''' But you're denying it. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' You know what, I didn't leave here under the best terms. The past few years, I could have been more considerate to Howard instead of yitzing him every chance I got.

''[Jimmy steps away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' Tell me what you told the police. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' Okay, um... Well, I mean, it was 11pm. Howard started pounding on our door. He was very upset, going on about something, um, he thought was my fault, uh... Guess it had to do with the Sandpiper case. But I—I couldn't make head or tail out of it. We tried to calm him down. But... he just—he just wouldn't, um... Finally, he left. That's—that's it. :'''Cheryl:''' I'm not oblivious. I know people are saying he was on drugs.

Because none of it makes sense to me. :'''Cliff:''' Cheryl, maybe we should just— :'''Cheryl:''' I don't care what people are saying. I don't care what the police think. Howard was not on drugs. That simply is not true. There's something more to this. :'''Kim:''' I don't know if it's my place, but... I—I... :'''Cheryl:''' Please. Just spit it out. ''[sharply inhales]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[sighs]'' It was about a year-and-a-half ago. I was still an associate here, working late on a brief. And I saw a light on in Howard's office. I assumed the cleaning crew left it on by mistake. And I was sure that office was empty, so I didn't knock. :'''Cheryl:''' ...And? :'''Kim:''' And Howard was there at his desk, head down. And he was snorting something. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[scoffs]'' :'''Kim:''' I looked at him. He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked out.

Who are they going to find who is half as good as you?! No one! They need you! :'''Kim:''' It's already done. :'''Jimmy:''' ''Ugh!'' ''[pause]'' Okay, what's done can be undone. All I'm saying is just—just let's take a week or two to think it over. For now, we're gonna take some time off. God knows we need it. We're gonna to find a new place, we're—we're gonna leave here. We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type. We're gonna roll this thing back. I'll order a pizza, we'll pull an all-nighter. Because we're in this together. Okay? So I'm gonna go get your—your printer, and then we're gonna get the hell out of here. :''[Jimmy turns to head into the bedroom]'' :'''Kim:''' Wait— Jimmy. Jimmy! :''[Jimmy enters the bedroom to discover half-full boxes and luggage everywhere]'' :'''Kim:''' You asked if you were bad for me. That's not it. We are bad for each other. :'''Jimmy:''' Kim. Don't do this. Kim, please. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... ''[holding back tears]'' ...I have had the time of my life with you. But we are bad for everyone around us. Other people suffer because of us.

Just tell me what it is, and I'll do it. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... :'''Jimmy:''' No, Kim. You make me happy. We make each other happy. How can that be bad? Hey... I love you. :'''Kim:''' I love you, too.

It was that ''fucking Lalo Salamanca!'' That psychopath came back from the dead and he walked through that door! He did this! Not us, ''him!'' :'''Kim:''' I knew. :'''Jimmy:''' You knew wh-what? :'''Kim:''' I knew he was alive. :'''Jimmy:''' No, you didn't. :'''Kim:''' It was about a month ago. I saw that car following me again. And it turned out that Mike Ehrmantraut had guys watching both of us, watching for Lalo. :'''Jimmy:''' Mike... Mike told you that Lalo was alive? ''[Kim nods]'' And you didn't tell me? :'''Kim:''' ''[pause]'' Jimmy... I thought... I thought it was a one-in-a-million chance that he'd come for us. I thought he would be caught if he did. And I told myself I was protecting you. But that's not the truth. The reason I didn't tell you was because I knew what you'd do. :'''Jimmy:''' Wh-what would I do? :'''Kim:''' You'd—you'd blame yourself. You'd fear for me. You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... ''[pause]'' ...and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that. Because I was having too much ''fun''. :''[Kim breaks down crying and returns to the bedroom to pack; Jimmy stands in the living room in silence]'' === ''[[w:Nippy (Better Call Saul) | Nippy]]'' [6.10] === :''[Saul is confronted by Jeff after he unexpectedly shows up at his home]'' :'''Jeff''': Dude, what the fuck?! :'''Saul''': I know, it's awkward, right?

What's that? :'''Saul''': You want in the game. :'''Jeff''': The game? What—what game? :'''Saul''': The ''game.'' The one you've been watching your entire life. You got your nose pressed up against the glass, peering in while the big boys play. :'''Jeff''': Speak English, man. What the hell are you talking about? :'''Saul''': ''The game.'' It's right there. You can see it, but you can't touch it yet. ''[pause]'' Cars, clothes. The cash, the ladies. It's about knowing all the angles, you know? Putting all on the line and winning ''big.''

So let's go. :'''Jeff:''' Wait, there's cameras? :'''Saul''': Sure there's cameras! They erase the tapes every seventy-two hour, so that's why you only take three of each, and only the pricey stuff. When the store opens the next morning, they won't even know they were robbed. By the time they do inventory, abra cadabra, no more Jeffy on the tape! Right, so, three items, three minutes... It's easy.

Unfortunately, I'm booked solid. :'''Detective Roberts''': I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte. The family that showed at the bail hearing can't be located. No driver's license, no tax rolls, no school records. Nothing. The fact is, there isn't a single Elizabeth McKinnon under the age of 73 living in New Mexico. :'''Jimmy''': Well, this is–this is surprising. :'''ADA Khalil''': Your client has disappeared, and I'm not waiting six weeks to start looking for him. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, my guy put up seven million in bail. You think he's just gonna walk away from that? :'''Detective Roberts''': Who comes up with seven million bucks in cash? :'''ADA Khalil''': You know what I think? I think the family was fake. ''[to Jimmy]'' And I think you knew it the whole time. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, hold up. Just get real for a second. The hearing didn't go your way, and now you're trying for a do-over? You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. ''Career-ending'' prosecutorial misconduct! :'''Detective Roberts''': None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! ''[points at ADA Khalil]'' You got two dozen lawyers up there!

''[beat]'' Oh! :'''Jimmy''': What? :'''Kim''': ''[sighs]'' You are going to ''hate'' this... <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jimmy tracks down the Kettlemans to their shady tax preparation office and tries to rope them into his and Kim's plan to ruin Howard]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[to Jimmy]'' You've got some nerve coming here after what you did! ''[shoves Jimmy]'' ''Leave!'' Because of you, we lost ''everything!'' Our kids are in public school! So why don't you go crawl back under whatever slime-covered rock you came from and leave us the heck alone?! :'''Jimmy''': Okay, I sense some anger here, but that's–that's perfectly understandable. Since you brought it up, I came here today because I was curious if you two wanted your lives back. There's actually a legal term for it: Exoneration. :'''Craig''': Oh. You know, we actually did look into that. :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Craig''': We went to a number of lawyers, and— :'''Betsy''': ''Real'' lawyers. :'''Craig''': Yes. They were all terrific, but they said that it was impossible. :'''Betsy''': ''Mm-hmm''. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, but those lawyers don't know what I know. :'''Craig''': What's that? :'''Betsy''': No, Craig. He's got an angle. :'''Jimmy''': I ''do'' have an angle, Craig. It's an angle called justice. ''[Betsy scoffs and snickers]'' Let me put it this way: I think that within Craig's case, I have found the grounds for a civil suit. A big one. ''[pause; quietly]'' Big. :'''Betsy''': ''[long pause; looks at Craig]'' Okay, then. Let's hear it. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hold your horses, because we've been down this road before. [[w:Uno (Better Call Saul)|And the last time I gave you two advice, you went straight to the competition with it.]] ''[pulls out a piece of paper from inside his suit]'' So, I just need some assurances that all my hard work isn't gonna end up in the hands of, uh, Clifford Main or some other asshole at some pretentious high-pay, white-shoe law firm. So before we talk turkey, letters of engagement. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, you remember these. I made some updates, just closed a few loopholes and whatnot. So... ''[holds out paper and pen]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[stops Craig from taking the pen]'' We're not signing anything. :'''Jimmy''': You have to sign if you want to know what I know. :'''Betsy''': ''We're not signing.'' :'''Jimmy''': Really? You're sure? :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Jimmy''': Craig? :'''Craig''': ''[looks at Betsy before shaking his head]'' Thanks anyway. :'''Jimmy''': ''[unclicks pen]'' Alright. Well, uh... Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made. ''[turns his back to Craig for him to sign the letter]'' Here you go. :'''Betsy''': ''[after Craig signs the letter]'' So what do you know? :'''Jimmy''': You got one, too, Betsy. ''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?! The second you say where you got this information from, guess who automatically gets a cut?! ''Me! So go ahead! Go ahead, see what happens!'' :''[Jimmy pretends to be upset after the Kettlemans leave, but slowly starts smiling as he walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus and Juan Bolsa visit Hector at Casa Tranquila to send their condolences, still believing that Lalo is dead. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Bolsa''': He wishes to make amends. At least hear him out. :'''Gus''': Don Hector. It's no secret that I did not see eye to eye with your nephew. And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him. And then your family will have justice. :''[Hector slowly reaches his hand out to Gus. As Gus holds his hand, he notices a change of expression on Hector's face and stares at him.

Oh, wait! Okay, just take a breath, and then we can... Okay, okay. I can tell you're upset. Just... I–I never advised that. No. ''[sighs]'' No, I did not, so let's agree to disagree. ''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down. Let me find him, bring him back before the Salamancas sweep him up. It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit. I've been calling Varga for hours. He hasn't picked up once. :'''Mike''': He's been trying to get me since he left the Salamancas. ''[opens phone]'' You want me to answer it? :''[Tyrus turns to Gus, who nods. Mike answers the phone and speaks to Nacho]'' :'''Mike''': Yeah. ''[pause]'' Yeah. ...Not my call.

I'm guessing you want something. :'''Betsy:''' Do what you promised. :'''Jimmy:''' Do what I what? :'''Betsy:''' Exonerate Craig. Get his good name back. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright. Well, as you've been advised, for a number of reasons that's not gonna happen. :'''Betsy:''' It ''is'' gonna happen. It is. It's... You're just gonna have to figure out a way. :'''Craig:''' If anyone can do this, it's you. :'''Betsy:''' I know you don't want us going to Howard Hamlin. Because whatever it is you're up to, I'm sure he would be ''very'' interested. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, let's just go easy on the threats. :'''Betsy:''' We want our lives back! The way they were before.

Good to hear from you. :'''Kim:''' How are Noreen and the boys? :'''Justin:''' Oh, hanging in. Noreen always talks about having you by for dinner some time. :'''Kim:''' We should do that. Tell her to call me. Listen, I was wondering who your CID officer is these days. :'''Justin:''' You have something for us? :'''Kim:''' Oh, I just might: Tax preparer fraud. A lot of it. :'''Justin:''' I'm listening. :'''Kim:''' Well, it's this, uh, run-down little mom-and-pop outfit I've had my eye on for a while. ''[chuckles]'' Don't ask me why. Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it. Talk soon. :'''Betsy:''' You don't have to do this. :'''Kim:''' ''[to Betsy]'' Don't I? Betsy... You'll probably get twenty-four months, maybe eighteen with good behavior. But Craig? You are a two-time loser. They will definitely make an example out of you. Each false return they discover will be a separate felony. What are we talking? A hundred? :'''Betsy:''' Uh... :'''Kim:''' Two-hundred? :'''Tony:''' ''[beat]'' CID, Anthony Oropallo speaking. :''[Betsy runs to the phone and slams down the receiver to end the call]'' :'''Betsy:''' Please.

Then on Thursday, you have a business meeting and you witness a Jaguar speeding past. ''[beat]'' Who were you meeting with? :'''Cliff:''' Not sure why that's germaine, but... Kim Wexler. She came to me for career advice. :''[Howard's face becomes awash with realization]'' :'''Howard:''' ''Mmm.'' All right. ''[pause]'' Okay. ''[takes out his cell phone]'' Of course. ''[scoffs]'' Of course. ''[to Cliff]'' Cliff, I know this wasn't easy for you. You came to me as a friend. I appreciate it. :'''Cliff:''' You can start today, Howard. :'''Howard:''' Oh, I will.

You and me, us. I'm tired of this. Aren't you? It's exhausting. ''[points at boxing ring behind him]'' Let's punch it out. :'''Jimmy''': ''[chuckles]'' Are you kidding? :'''Howard''': Dead serious. Hoping you might get it out of your system. Do I think it'll work? ''[shrugs]'' I don't know. Call it a Hail Mary. I have the gear, I rented the ring. It's just you and me... ''[points at the man standing behind Jimmy]'' and Macky to ref. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' I am sorry, but have you lost your mind? :'''Howard''': Actually, I'm as clear-headed as I've ever been in my life. You didn't even try to hide your tracks. The baggie of drugs at the country club, the clients you sent to discredit me, ''another'' prostitute. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, once again as usual, I— :'''Howard''': Please. I could go on. All roads lead back to you. It's Psych 101. You want to get caught. :'''Jimmy''': So what? Is this like pistols at dawn? :'''Howard''': I'm trying to give you what you want. :'''Jimmy''': What I want? I don't... I think this is what ''you'' want. You wanna beat the shit out of me? Legally? :'''Howard''': I think you can hold up your end. You must've gotten into a few good scrapes in your old neighborhood. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, right. I could've been a contender. :'''Howard''': Indulge me. Let's see what we see. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause; smiles]'' Thanks for the laughs.

He got them out, but then... the structure collapsed. :'''Lalo''': So your husband was a hero. :'''Margarethe''': ''[smiles]'' He would never accept that. My Werner was too humble. :'''Lalo''': ...And what were they building there? :'''Margarethe''': My husband didn't talk much about his work. It was very secretive. :'''Lalo''': Oh... I'm sure he must have told you something. :'''Margarethe''': The lawyers came to my house. I asked questions, they wouldn't say much. :'''Lalo''': ''[shakes his head]'' Lawyers. :'''Margarethe''': They went through Werner's things. Took anything that they called, uh...

Why do I need all that stuff? :'''Lalo''': And what about your husband's men? I mean, they must have said something to you. :'''Margarethe''': Werner loved ''deine jungs''—his boys—but I never even met them. :'''Lalo''': What do you mean? Not even at the funeral? :'''Margarethe''': You'd think they would want to pay respect to the man who saved their lives. They sent flowers, keepsakes, and so on... but not one of them showed his face. :'''Lalo''': Wow. That is...

The thing is, she's lost her dial-in instructions. ''[sighs nervously]'' I'm just looking everywhere and can't find them. :'''HHM Employee #2''': I'd be happy to help you with that.

And, no surprise, no one by the name of Genidowski had ever worked there. I hired a con man. I got played. Every step of the way.

There's really no need to— :''[Lalo puts the gun to Howard's head and pulls the trigger; Howard falls onto the floor, killed instantly. Jimmy and Kim scream.]'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''Please, no!'' :'''Kim:''' ''Oh my God!'' :'''Jimmy:''' ''No! No!'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[holds out his hand to quiet them down]'' ''Shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh.'' Okay. Let's talk. === ''[[w:Point and Shoot (Better Call Saul) | Point and Shoot]]'' [6.08] === :''[Jimmy and Kim are cowering in terror when Lalo forces them to sit on their couch]'' :'''Jimmy''': I never turned on you. I didn't. I only worked for you in the desert. I was on your side the whole time. :'''Lalo''': Shhh. ''[motions for Jimmy to sit down with his gun]'' I don't care. You two... ''[chuckles; shakes his head]'' God, you two and your mouths! ''Dios mío!'' Now, ''you listen.'' ''[tosses car keys to Jimmy]'' My car's downstairs. Press the clicker, and you'll find it. This... ''[holds up small piece of paper]'' is where you are going. Don't speed, don't weave, don't cut anyone off. Just, you know, drive nice. From here, ''[checks watch]'' at this hour... I'd take 40 east, get off at Carlisle, take the third left. The rest I drew a little map for you on the back. It's not hard. So... big white brick house with a solid black door. You can't miss it. It's right at the end of the T. Park a little down the street and not up front. It's a quiet neighborhood, so you'll have plenty of options. Stating the obvious here maybe, but... turn the car off, right? So, in the glove compartment, I left you a present. There's a camera and there's a gun. And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. ''[pause]'' Simple. :'''Jimmy''': You–you want me to—?! :'''Lalo''': I know, I know. ''[casually nudges Howard's dead body with his foot]'' You're a lawyer, and you're not a killer. But look, you can do this, okay? This guy, he's a housecat! Black, medium height, short hair, glasses! He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever. Give her the keys, give her the address. Let's go. ''[walks toward the front door]'' :'''Kim''': ''[to Jimmy]'' No. Don't... Don't. :'''Jimmy''': You... you gotta go. :'''Kim''': ''[softly]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': Come on. Hey... ''[whispering]'' Let's go. :''[Kim reluctantly gets up and is about to leave the apartment, but Lalo stops her]'' :'''Lalo''': Hold on. ''[pause; Kim looks at him]'' You're gonna need your shoes, right? :''[Kim stares at Jimmy while she puts her shoes on]'' :'''Lalo''': There you go! Okay, ''[looks at watch]'' so one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair while interrogating him about the assassination attempt at his hacienda]'' :'''Lalo''': You know, after I saw you last, I went home. My home. ''Mi cielito lindo''... And you know what happened? Men came. Armed men, in the middle of the night. To my home. Trying to get to me. And you know what they did? They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I... I have–I have no idea. :'''Lalo''': Ignacio Varga. ''He'' let them in. And who did Ignacio introduce me to? ''[taps Jimmy's head]'' You. :'''Jimmy''': Ignacio... Nacho? ''[brief pause]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa! I–I barely know Ignacio! Whatever he did, he did alone! Not with me! Listen, you gotta believe me! Hand to God, I had no part in this—it wasn't me! ''It was '''Igna—''''' :''[Lalo sneaks up from behind and gags Jimmy with a rolled-up shirt]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[through the gag]'' Ignacio! It's not me! Listen, listen! I–I don't know about... :'''Lalo''': Save it. ''[looks Jimmy in the eyes]'' I'm gonna come back. And then you... are gonna tell me ''the whole story.'' :''[Before leaving the apartment, Lalo presses play on the movie Jimmy and Kim were watching earlier and turns up the volume. He picks up Jimmy's car keys by the front door.]'' :'''Lalo''': Ford Taurus... taupe? ''[rolls eyes and shakes his head before leaving]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike disarms Kim and forces her inside Gus' house before she can shoot. Gus watches Mike question her through surveillance monitors at his neighbors' residence.]'' :'''Kim''': What are you doing?! I–I have to go! I have to—No, wait! :'''Mike''': Ms. Wexler, I'd like you to sit down. :'''Kim''': He'll–He'll kill him! You have to... You— :'''Mike''': Now, sit there and be calm! :'''Kim''': No, I have to get back! ''I have to get back!'' :'''Mike''': ''[restrains her and forces her back down]'' Sit ''still''... and stay calm. Now, if you take a deep breath—a ''deep'' breath—nothing's gonna happen here until you calm yourself. Alright? Now, who is killing who? :'''Kim''': Lalo Salamanca! Lalo is going to kill Jimmy! ''[Mike looks shocked]'' He's there! He–he is there with Jimmy now! :'''Mike''': Salamanca is at your apartment?! :'''Kim''': Yes! He sent ''me!'' He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me. :'''Mike''': To do what exactly?! ''[pause; Kim hyperventilates]'' Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here? :'''Kim''': ''[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus]'' Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it. I only have twenty minutes left! Please! ''[Mike quickly looks and nods at one of his guys]'' He is ''alone'' with him! :'''Mike''': Alright, stay put. We'll handle this. We ''will'' handle this. ''[to Victor]'' You call Tyrus. Get him to the condo ''now.'' :'''Kim''': You said you were watching us! WHERE WERE YOU?! HUH?! ''[Mike leaves]'' '''WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!''' :''[Kim tries to get up, but Victor stands in her way and forces her to sit down again]'' :'''Victor''': You heard what the man said. :''[Mike walks through the corridor connecting the two homes and reports to Gus.]'' :'''Mike''': You heard all that? ''[Gus nods]'' Alright. You hunker down here. ''[to two bodyguards]'' You two, you stay with him. A dog barks too loud, you are on the phone with me. ''[to Arthur and Tyrus]'' You two, come with me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After growing restless over Lalo's whereabouts, Gus calls Victor and asks him to speak to Kim about Lalo]'' :'''Gus''': Why did Lalo send you? :'''Kim''': Who is this? :'''Victor''': Answer him. ''[points behind him]'' :'''Kim''': ''[pause]'' He didn't want to send me. Not at first. He wanted to send my husband... but my husband talked him out of it because he wanted to get me out of there. :'''Gus''': He... talked Lalo out of it? :'''Kim''': That's right. ''[pause]'' Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who— :''[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]'' :'''Gus''': Come with me. Both of you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records another video message for Don Eladio while holding Gus at gunpoint at the laundromat. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Lalo:''' Don Eladio, look who we have here. The one and only Gustavo Fring. [''chuckles''] And wearing body armor! Too bad they don't make armor for your head, eh? Now we're gonna take a little walk and show you around. ''Vamanos''. [''clicks tongue''] Don, I would've liked it if we didn't have to rush this so much. We could sit by your pool... strip this snake's skin off, inch by inch. Take our time, have some fun. But he shows up now... who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? :''[Gus stops at one of the large washers]'' :'''Lalo:''' A big machine hides a big secret. We have about... thirteen minutes until his bald ''gringo'' gets here with the cavalry, so Gustavo is going to have to give us the nickel tour. ''[beat; shoots Gus in the chest]'' Like I was saying, Gustavo is going to show us around. :''[Gus walks around and pushes a button, which opens the secret passage to the underground meth lab]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''Ha!'' Magnificent! I had a bathtub that did this, but... credit where credit is due, this is better. ''[laughs]'' ''Hijo de puta''. :''[Gus leads Lalo down a ladder and turns on the lights]'' :'''Lalo:''' [''chuckles; in English''] Okay. Drumroll, please. ''D-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r''... Ta-da! ''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole! ''[cackles]'' Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he built himself was a tomb. :'''Gus:''' You can't kill me. :'''Lalo:''' Why not? :'''Gus:''' I haven't told that fat pig Eladio what I think of him yet. :'''Lalo:''' ''Hoo-hoo!'' Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk. You done? :'''Gus:''' No. Not yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy:''' Lalo said he was coming back. :'''Mike:''' He's not coming. :'''Jimmy:''' No, he said he was, he told me— :'''Mike:''' You understand me? He is ''not coming back.'' Let's sit. ''[pause; Jimmy and Kim remain standing]'' '''''SIT.''''' :''[Jimmy and Kim sit at the foot of their bed; Mike stands in front of them.]'' :'''Mike:''' Alright. Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand? Say it out loud, I need to hear it. :'''Jimmy:''' ...I understand. :'''Kim:''' ...It never happened. === ''[[w:Fun and Games (Better Call Saul) | Fun and Games]]'' [6.09] === :'''Jimmy''': One day, we'll... We'll wake up, and brush our teeth, and we'll go to work. And at some point, we'll suddenly realize... [[w:Bad Choice Road | that we hadn't thought about it at all. None of it]]. ''[pause]'' And that's when we'll know. We'll know we can forget. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus meets with Don Eladio, Juan Bolsa, and the Salamancas late at night. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Eladio''': Don Hector has made a very serious accusation. :''[One of the Cousins hands a letter to Don Juan]'' :'''Bolsa''': These are Don Hector's words. Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak. Have you no defense? :'''Gus''': With all due respect, I don't believe this merits a response. :'''Eladio''': Did you witness these phone calls from Lalo? ''[Leonel and Marco shake their heads]'' I was told you saw Lalo's body. :'''Leonel''': Yes. :'''Marco''': It was burned. :'''Eladio''': Didn't the ''federales'' check the teeth? :'''Bolsa''': Yes, Don Eladio. My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well. ''[to Gus]'' I'd invite you to stay as well, Gustavo, but... I don't want my breakfast ruined by all the... ''[mocks Hector ringing his bell and laughs]'' Ay-yay-yay. ''[beat]'' The peace must be kept. What do you suggest? :'''Gus''': I wouldn't presume. :'''Eladio''': The South Valley will stay Salamanca territory. And the rest of the North, that'll be for you to manage. Working under Bolsa. :'''Bolsa''': Thank you, Don Eladio. :'''Gus''': ''[rises with Eladio out of his chair]'' Thank you. Your trust means everything, Don Eladio. :'''Eladio''': ''Bueno.'' Gustavo... ''[long pause]'' When I looked into your eyes... Hate. A little bit's okay. As long as you never forget who's boss. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike meets with Nacho's father outside his shop to let him know about Nacho's fate]'' :'''Manuel''': Who are you? :'''Mike''': It's not important. :'''Manuel''': I saw you here before.

No pain. :'''Manuel''': You were there? :'''Mike''': I was there. Your son made some mistakes, he fell in with bad people... but he was never like them. Not really. He had a good heart. One more thing: you won't have to worry about the Salamancas. Their day is coming. There'll be justice. :'''Manuel''': Justice? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, my Spanish - j-''justicia.'' Justice. :'''Manuel''': ''[sighs]'' What you talk about... is not justice. What you talk of is... ''revenge.'' It never ends... my boy is gone.

You two were the last ones to see him, weren't you? :'''Kim:''' Um... :'''Jimmy:''' I guess so. Uh, that's what the police said. :'''Cheryl:''' Howard told me that you were harassing him, playing elaborate pranks of some sort.

Um, I think he honestly believed it. :'''Cheryl:''' But you're denying it. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' You know what, I didn't leave here under the best terms. The past few years, I could have been more considerate to Howard instead of yitzing him every chance I got. I guess, uh, there was a certain amount of jealousy on my part because Howard had the, uh, respect of my brother. Which I never did. ''[Jimmy steps away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' Tell me what you told the police. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' Okay, um... Well, I mean, it was 11pm. Howard started pounding on our door. He was very upset, going on about something, um, he thought was my fault, uh... Guess it had to do with the Sandpiper case. But I—I couldn't make head or tail out of it. We tried to calm him down. But... he just—he just wouldn't, um... Finally, he left. That's—that's it. :'''Cheryl:''' I'm not oblivious. I know people are saying he was on drugs.

Because none of it makes sense to me. :'''Cliff:''' Cheryl, maybe we should just— :'''Cheryl:''' I don't care what people are saying. I don't care what the police think. Howard was not on drugs. That simply is not true. There's something more to this. :'''Kim:''' I don't know if it's my place, but... I—I... :'''Cheryl:''' Please. Just spit it out. ''[sharply inhales]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[sighs]'' It was about a year-and-a-half ago. I was still an associate here, working late on a brief. And I saw a light on in Howard's office. I assumed the cleaning crew left it on by mistake. And I was sure that office was empty, so I didn't knock. :'''Cheryl:''' ...And? :'''Kim:''' And Howard was there at his desk, head down. And he was snorting something. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[scoffs]'' :'''Kim:''' I looked at him. He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked out. And the next morning, when we saw each other, neither of us ever said anything about it. I never told anyone. But now I wish I had. :''[Long pause]'' :'''Cheryl:''' ''[to Cliff]'' In all the years that you worked with him, have you witnessed anything like this? Even a hint? Cliff... :'''Cliff:''' I...

We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type.

Don't do this. Kim, please. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... ''[holding back tears]'' ...I have had the time of my life with you. But we are bad for everyone around us. Other people suffer because of us.

Just tell me what it is, and I'll do it. :'''Kim:''' Jimmy... :'''Jimmy:''' No, Kim. You make me happy. We make each other happy. How can that be bad? Hey... I love you. :'''Kim:''' I love you, too.

Not us, ''him!'' :'''Kim:''' I knew. :'''Jimmy:''' You knew wh-what? :'''Kim:''' I knew he was alive. :'''Jimmy:''' No, you didn't. :'''Kim:''' It was about a month ago. I saw that car following me again. And it turned out that Mike Ehrmantraut had guys watching both of us, watching for Lalo. :'''Jimmy:''' Mike... Mike told you that Lalo was alive? ''[Kim nods]'' And you didn't tell me? :'''Kim:''' ''[pause]'' Jimmy... I thought... I thought it was a one-in-a-million chance that he'd come for us. I thought he would be caught if he did. And I told myself I was protecting you. But that's not the truth. The reason I didn't tell you was because I knew what you'd do. :'''Jimmy:''' Wh-what would I do? :'''Kim:''' You'd—you'd blame yourself. You'd fear for me. You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... ''[pause]'' ...and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that.

Or tried to strong-arm me for cash. And guess what? I know why. Because reward money—blackmail—that's not gonna tickle your pickle. I know what you really want. :'''Jeff''': Oh, yeah? What's that? :'''Saul''': You want in the game. :'''Jeff''': The game? What—what game? :'''Saul''': The ''game.'' The one you've been watching your entire life. You got your nose pressed up against the glass, peering in while the big boys play. :'''Jeff''': Speak English, man. What the hell are you talking about? :'''Saul''': ''The game.'' It's right there. You can see it, but you can't touch it yet. ''[pause]'' Cars, clothes. The cash, the ladies. It's about knowing all the angles, you know? Putting all on the line and winning ''big.'' But here you are, Jeffy. Standing outside with the suckers, trying to pay off that cab, sweating the bills. You're getting older. It's—it's so close, but dammit you just can't get in! Until now.

And why do I gotta run around like an asshole? :'''Saul''': I already told you! Three minutes, got it? That's our window! :'''Jeff:''' Yeah, but why three minutes? :'''Saul''': Because at three minutes, that's when security sees you on the cameras and the cops haul your ass to jail, alright? So let's go. :'''Jeff:''' Wait, there's cameras? :'''Saul''': Sure there's cameras! They erase the tapes every seventy-two hour, so that's why you only take three of each, and only the pricey stuff. When the store opens the next morning, they won't even know they were robbed. By the time they do inventory, abra cadabra, no more Jeffy on the tape! Right, so, three items, three minutes... It's easy. Let's go. :''[Jeff walks back to the start of the maze.]'' :'''Saul''': How many of each? :'''Jeff:''' Three... :'''Saul''': Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered! :'''Jeff:''' I don't know... :'''Saul''': What don't you know? :'''Jeff:''' Just, this whole thing, it seems crazy! :'''Saul''': Is this too hot for you?!

Unfortunately, I'm booked solid. :'''Detective Roberts''': I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte. The family that showed at the bail hearing can't be located. No driver's license, no tax rolls, no school records. Nothing. The fact is, there isn't a single Elizabeth McKinnon under the age of 73 living in New Mexico. :'''Jimmy''': Well, this is–this is surprising. :'''ADA Khalil''': Your client has disappeared, and I'm not waiting six weeks to start looking for him. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, my guy put up seven million in bail. You think he's just gonna walk away from that? :'''Detective Roberts''': Who comes up with seven million bucks in cash? :'''ADA Khalil''': You know what I think? I think the family was fake. ''[to Jimmy]'' And I think you knew it the whole time. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, hold up. Just get real for a second. The hearing didn't go your way, and now you're trying for a do-over? You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. ''Career-ending'' prosecutorial misconduct! :'''Detective Roberts''': None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! ''[points at ADA Khalil]'' You got two dozen lawyers up there!

''[Betsy scoffs and snickers]'' Let me put it this way: I think that within Craig's case, I have found the grounds for a civil suit. A big one. ''[pause; quietly]'' Big. :'''Betsy''': ''[long pause; looks at Craig]'' Okay, then. Let's hear it. :'''Jimmy''': Let's hold your horses, because we've been down this road before. [[w:Uno (Better Call Saul)|And the last time I gave you two advice, you went straight to the competition with it.]] ''[pulls out a piece of paper from inside his suit]'' So, I just need some assurances that all my hard work isn't gonna end up in the hands of, uh, Clifford Main or some other asshole at some pretentious high-pay, white-shoe law firm. So before we talk turkey, letters of engagement. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, you remember these. I made some updates, just closed a few loopholes and whatnot. So... ''[holds out paper and pen]'' :'''Betsy''': ''[stops Craig from taking the pen]'' We're not signing anything. :'''Jimmy''': You have to sign if you want to know what I know. :'''Betsy''': ''We're not signing.'' :'''Jimmy''': Really? You're sure? :'''Betsy''': Yep. :'''Jimmy''': Craig? :'''Craig''': ''[looks at Betsy before shaking his head]'' Thanks anyway. :'''Jimmy''': ''[unclicks pen]'' Alright. Well, uh... Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made. ''[turns his back to Craig for him to sign the letter]'' Here you go. :'''Betsy''': ''[after Craig signs the letter]'' So what do you know? :'''Jimmy''': You got one, too, Betsy. ''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?! The second you say where you got this information from, guess who automatically gets a cut?! ''Me! So go ahead! Go ahead, see what happens!'' :''[Jimmy pretends to be upset after the Kettlemans leave, but slowly starts smiling as he walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus and Juan Bolsa visit Hector at Casa Tranquila to send their condolences, still believing that Lalo is dead. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Bolsa''': He wishes to make amends. At least hear him out. :'''Gus''': Don Hector. It's no secret that I did not see eye to eye with your nephew. And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him. And then your family will have justice. :''[Hector slowly reaches his hand out to Gus. As Gus holds his hand, he notices a change of expression on Hector's face and stares at him.

Oh, wait! Okay, just take a breath, and then we can... Okay, okay. I can tell you're upset. Just... I–I never advised that. No. ''[sighs]'' No, I did not, so let's agree to disagree. ''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down. Let me find him, bring him back before the Salamancas sweep him up. It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit. I've been calling Varga for hours. He hasn't picked up once. :'''Mike''': He's been trying to get me since he left the Salamancas. ''[opens phone]'' You want me to answer it? :''[Tyrus turns to Gus, who nods. Mike answers the phone and speaks to Nacho]'' :'''Mike''': Yeah. ''[pause]'' Yeah. ...Not my call.

I'm guessing you want something. :'''Betsy:''' Do what you promised. :'''Jimmy:''' Do what I what? :'''Betsy:''' Exonerate Craig. Get his good name back. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright. Well, as you've been advised, for a number of reasons that's not gonna happen. :'''Betsy:''' It ''is'' gonna happen. It is. It's... You're just gonna have to figure out a way. :'''Craig:''' If anyone can do this, it's you. :'''Betsy:''' I know you don't want us going to Howard Hamlin. Because whatever it is you're up to, I'm sure he would be ''very'' interested. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, let's just go easy on the threats. :'''Betsy:''' We want our lives back! The way they were before.

Good to hear from you. :'''Kim:''' How are Noreen and the boys? :'''Justin:''' Oh, hanging in. Noreen always talks about having you by for dinner some time. :'''Kim:''' We should do that. Tell her to call me. Listen, I was wondering who your CID officer is these days. :'''Justin:''' You have something for us? :'''Kim:''' Oh, I just might: Tax preparer fraud. A lot of it. :'''Justin:''' I'm listening. :'''Kim:''' Well, it's this, uh, run-down little mom-and-pop outfit I've had my eye on for a while. ''[chuckles]'' Don't ask me why. Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it. Talk soon. :'''Betsy:''' You don't have to do this. :'''Kim:''' ''[to Betsy]'' Don't I? Betsy... You'll probably get twenty-four months, maybe eighteen with good behavior. But Craig? You are a two-time loser. They will definitely make an example out of you. Each false return they discover will be a separate felony. What are we talking?

As in... H.O. Ward. That is really cute, Howard. So, wait. That means that you're the guy who shanked some dude in a rumble near Central Pen. ''[sighs]'' That's—that's very street of you. :'''Howard''': I thought it sounded like a Saul Goodman kind of case. :'''Jimmy''': ...Alright, so what are we doing here? :'''Howard''': I'm tired, Jimmy. You and me, us. I'm tired of this. Aren't you? It's exhausting. ''[points at boxing ring behind him]'' Let's punch it out. :'''Jimmy''': ''[chuckles]'' Are you kidding? :'''Howard''': Dead serious. Hoping you might get it out of your system. Do I think it'll work? ''[shrugs]'' I don't know. Call it a Hail Mary. I have the gear, I rented the ring. It's just you and me... ''[points at the man standing behind Jimmy]'' and Macky to ref. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' I am sorry, but have you lost your mind? :'''Howard''': Actually, I'm as clear-headed as I've ever been in my life. You didn't even try to hide your tracks. The baggie of drugs at the country club, the clients you sent to discredit me, ''another'' prostitute. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, once again as usual, I— :'''Howard''': Please. I could go on. All roads lead back to you. It's Psych 101. You want to get caught. :'''Jimmy''': So what? Is this like pistols at dawn? :'''Howard''': I'm trying to give you what you want. :'''Jimmy''': What I want? I don't... I think this is what ''you'' want. You wanna beat the shit out of me? Legally? :'''Howard''': I think you can hold up your end. You must've gotten into a few good scrapes in your old neighborhood. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, right. I could've been a contender. :'''Howard''': Indulge me. Let's see what we see. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause; smiles]'' Thanks for the laughs. ''[chuckles]'' "Mr. Ward." :''[Jimmy laughs and starts to walk out, but stops. He and Howard are seen suited up with boxing gloves as they begin their fight. They both land a few punches on each other, but Howard eventually knocks Jimmy down]'' :'''Howard''': ''[to Jimmy]'' You've mistaken my kindness for weakness. I like to think that tonight made a difference. I like to think that this ends it. ''[pause; shakes his head]'' Probably not. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy''': I should've left Howard standing there like a yutz. Instead I let him suck me into his game. Why did I do that? :'''Kim''': You had your reasons. :'''Jimmy''': I did? Like what? :'''Kim''': Because... you know. :'''Jimmy''': I know...? :'''Kim''': ''[holds Jimmy's hand]'' You know what's coming next. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo has travelled to Germany using an alias, and meets Margarethe, Werner's widow, at a bar]'' :'''Margarethe''': I knew his work was dangerous. I never imagined such a thing, but... I suppose I try not to. :'''Lalo''': That is terrible. What kind of accident was it? :'''Margarethe''': A cave-in. :'''Lalo''': Cave-in? :'''Margarethe''': He was able to save his men. He got them out, but then... the structure collapsed. :'''Lalo''': So your husband was a hero. :'''Margarethe''': ''[smiles]'' He would never accept that. My Werner was too humble. :'''Lalo''': ...And what were they building there? :'''Margarethe''': My husband didn't talk much about his work. It was very secretive. :'''Lalo''': Oh... I'm sure he must have told you something. :'''Margarethe''': The lawyers came to my house. I asked questions, they wouldn't say much. :'''Lalo''': ''[shakes his head]'' Lawyers. :'''Margarethe''': They went through Werner's things. Took anything that they called, uh... Oh, how do you say it? ''[pause]'' Proprietary? I'm sorry, my English is— :'''Lalo''': Oh, it's excellent. :'''Margarethe''': I didn't care about it. All the boxes of folders, his papers. Why do I need all that stuff? :'''Lalo''': And what about your husband's men? I mean, they must have said something to you. :'''Margarethe''': Werner loved ''deine jungs''—his boys—but I never even met them. :'''Lalo''': What do you mean? Not even at the funeral? :'''Margarethe''': You'd think they would want to pay respect to the man who saved their lives. They sent flowers, keepsakes, and so on... but not one of them showed his face. :'''Lalo''': Wow. That is... ''[sighs]'' It's just not right. === ''[[w:Axe and Grind | Axe and Grind]]'' [6.06] === :''[Casper, one of Werner's former workers, spots Lalo approaching his home while chopping wood]'' :'''Lalo''': ''Guten tag!'' :'''Casper''': ''Guten tag.''

I don't speak any German! :'''Casper''': ''[in English]'' Are you lost? :'''Lalo''': It's a beautiful place you have here. The air, it's just so... ''fresh!'' :'''Casper''': ...Do I know you? :'''Lalo''': Well, I don't think we've ''officially'' met- :''[Casper grabs his axe and runs inside a nearby wooden shed while Lalo draws his gun.

M-Margarethe Z-Ziegler. :'''Casper''': What have you done to her?! :'''Lalo''': Nothing, nothing. You sent her a gi- a gift.

The Jackson Mercer Foundation, that's like... the good housekeeping seal of approval. :'''Kim''': Well, it's not a done deal. Some of the foundation board members are flying in next week to meet the lieutenant governor at a luncheon in Santa Fe, so... they are inviting a select group of people with... Cliff called them, "up-and-coming organizations," and uh... Yeah. Cliff thinks I have a good shot. :'''Jimmy''': A good shot? You have more than a shot! They are gonna love you on sight! :'''Kim''': The only thing is the lunch is on D-Day. :'''Jimmy''': So, what? That's—You don't have to be there on the day! Was Eisenhower on Omaha Beach? No. Kim, this is great, right? It's ''huge!'' :'''Kim''': ...It is pretty great! ''[laughs]'' :'''Jimmy''': Kim, this is fantastic!

I don't know if I'm comfortable. Is this even legal? :'''Jimmy''': I'm sorry, which one of us went to law school? Because I can stand here and go through the ins and outs of what's quote-unquote legal with you, but we're on the clock. :'''Francesca''': I just don't— :'''Jimmy''': Francesca, let's get something straight, okay? We can't be holding a graduate seminar in constitutional law every time I give you something to do. :'''Francesca''': But I—I'm not sure if— :'''Jimmy''': You know what I'm paying you? It is above market. To whom much is given, much is expected!

Let me transfer you. :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Francesca while she's on hold]'' It's just a phone call. :'''HHM Employee #2''': Good afternoon. Do you have a question about the Sandpiper case? :'''Francesca''': ''[waits for Jimmy to nod]'' Yes. My mother's out of the facility in Amarillo. Says she's supposed to call in to some meeting on Thursday? :'''HHM Employee #2''': Yes, you're talking about the mediation? :'''Francesca''': That's it. The thing is, she's lost her dial-in instructions. ''[sighs nervously]'' I'm just looking everywhere and can't find them. :'''HHM Employee #2''': I'd be happy to help you with that. It's very important to us that all the class members are fully looked in. What's your mother's name? :'''Francesca''': ''[Tells name mouthed by Jimmy]'' Uh, Marnie Stuber. ''[watches Jimmy form the letters as she spells aloud]'' That's–that's S-T-U-B-E-R. ''[sighs nervously again when Jimmy tries to cheer her up]'' Oh, bless your heart. She'll be so relieved! :'''HHM Employee #2''': Okay, it's very simple. The meeting is happening at our offices. So she just has to call the main line—the same number you called just now—press 7, and then enter the passcode. I can give that to you now. Do you have a pen? :'''Francesca''': Uh... ''[Jimmy quickly takes out a pen]'' Y–yeah, I'm ready. :'''HHM Employee #2''': Okay. It's 842159.

A justice system that works for everyone, and what is more important than that?" ''[hears phone ringing and answers it]'' Hey, Jimmy. :'''Jimmy''': Flag on the play! You're not gonna believe this, but I just ran into Casimiro—the real one. :'''Kim''': Oh, God. :'''Jimmy''': Yeah, and before you ask, he didn't shave his mustache. ''He broke his arm.'' :'''Kim''': Are you serious? :'''Jimmy''': The guy has a giant cast on his left arm! And I checked all the pictures and you can see his arm in every single one of them! No cast, clear as day! :'''Kim''': Shit! SHIT! :'''Jimmy''': I KNOW! I '''KNOW!''' Uh... But, hey. Hey, hey, look at it this way: If I hadn't seen him...

''[mimes explosion]'' I'm sorry, I'm, uh... :'''Howard''': Here, let me show you a little trick. ''[picks up and spins a soda can]'' Something about the centrifugal force pulls the bubbles from the inside of the can, stops it from exploding. Don't want our clients to get a surprise now, do we? :'''Cary''': That works? :''[Howard opens the can without incident and takes a sip]'' :'''Cary''': Alright! :'''Howard''': You know who taught me that trick? ''[points at the picture of Chuck in the conference room]'' He used to do it. Had a habit - anytime he opened a can, almost unconsciously. I asked him about it once... just his way of being prepared for anything, accidental or otherwise. :'''Cary''': Um, I'm sorry, I'm... kinda new here. I- I have to ask, who is that? :'''Howard''': Charles McGill. The "M" in HHM. Greatest legal mind I ever knew. :'''Cary''': Wow!

I know we're all anxious to get things started but you'll have to suffer through my traditional spiel, unfortunately. My name is Rand Casimiro, and I am your mediator for these proceedings. Now, I'm happy to be here. But at the end, hopefully all of you in the room and those listening from various locations ''won't'' be happy with me. And why do I say that? Because the best solutions mean compromise. It's compromise from both sides. That's my goal. But as my wife always says, compromising doesn't mean I'm right and she's wrong. ''[chuckles]'' So, let us move forward— :'''Howard:''' ''Hmph.'' :''[Everyone in the conference room turns to Howard]'' :'''Cliff:''' ...Howard? :'''Howard:''' I-I'm... Wow. ''[pause]'' I'm...

If it matters, I arrived in town about ten, I stopped at a gas station, I went by a liquor store and bought a gift. I had a lunch salad and a very nice latté from the Flying Star on Menaul. I read ''[[w:Barron's_(newspaper)|Barron's]]''. Then came here. :'''Howard:''' ''Mmmm''. So you weren't in town to visit our mutual acquaintance, James Morgan McGill? Or maybe you know him as "Saul Goodman". :'''Casimiro:''' I don't know anyone by either of those names. :'''Howard:''' Okay. You want to go that way?

These photos &ndash; these are photos of me? :'''Howard:''' They show exactly what I'm describing. :'''Casimiro:''' You were following me? :'''Howard:''' I had a private investigator following Jimmy McGill.

''something''. :'''Cliff:''' The missing photos. :'''Howard:''' Yeah. My P.I., Genidowski, had to have been in on it. He-he must have shown me one set of photos and then switched them after I left the office. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' Three weeks ago, Julie got a call from our detective agency. They wanted to update their contact info, so of course she changed the number in the system. But it turns out, it wasn't them. That was Jimmy. So when I needed an investigator to follow Jimmy, I called his fake number and his fake man. She just dialed the old number and, of course, got the actual agency. And, no surprise, no one by the name of Genidowski had ever worked there. I hired a con man. I got played. Every step of the way. I know what it sounds like, but you have to believe me. :'''Cliff:''' I... It doesn't matter. Rich went back to the previous offer. I'll give a recommend to the class that we take it. :'''Howard:''' No. No way. We do not let Jimmy win this. :'''Cliff:''' Why would Jimmy even do this? He's a profit participant! This means less money for him! :'''Howard:''' Because he's a child! He wants his money now! He begged me months ago to settle! You know what he does! :'''Cliff:''' Whatever the truth is, we'll never get back to where we were before mediation. We have to settle. :'''Howard:''' I'm lead attorney. And I won't sanction that decision. :'''Cliff:''' Then I'm obligated to go to the partners and explain everything I've seen &ndash; all of it.

It's right at the end of the T. Park a little down the street and not up front. It's a quiet neighborhood, so you'll have plenty of options. Stating the obvious here maybe, but... turn the car off, right? So, in the glove compartment, I left you a present. There's a camera and there's a gun. And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. ''[pause]'' Simple. :'''Jimmy''': You–you want me to—?! :'''Lalo''': I know, I know. ''[casually nudges Howard's dead body with his foot]'' You're a lawyer, and you're not a killer. But look, you can do this, okay? This guy, he's a housecat! Black, medium height, short hair, glasses! He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever. Give her the keys, give her the address. Let's go. ''[walks toward the front door]'' :'''Kim''': ''[to Jimmy]'' No. Don't... Don't. :'''Jimmy''': You... you gotta go. :'''Kim''': ''[softly]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': Come on. Hey... ''[whispering]'' Let's go. :''[Kim reluctantly gets up and is about to leave the apartment, but Lalo stops her]'' :'''Lalo''': Hold on. ''[pause; Kim looks at him]'' You're gonna need your shoes, right? :''[Kim stares at Jimmy while she puts her shoes on]'' :'''Lalo''': There you go! Okay, ''[looks at watch]'' so one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair while interrogating him about the assassination attempt at his hacienda]'' :'''Lalo''': You know, after I saw you last, I went home. My home. ''Mi cielito lindo''... And you know what happened? Men came. Armed men, in the middle of the night. To my home. Trying to get to me. And you know what they did? They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I... I have–I have no idea. :'''Lalo''': Ignacio Varga. ''He'' let them in. And who did Ignacio introduce me to? ''[taps Jimmy's head]'' You. :'''Jimmy''': Ignacio... Nacho? ''[brief pause]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa! I–I barely know Ignacio! Whatever he did, he did alone! Not with me! Listen, you gotta believe me! Hand to God, I had no part in this—it wasn't me! ''It was '''Igna—''''' :''[Lalo sneaks up from behind and gags Jimmy with a rolled-up shirt]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[through the gag]'' Ignacio! It's not me! Listen, listen! I–I don't know about... :'''Lalo''': Save it. ''[looks Jimmy in the eyes]'' I'm gonna come back. And then you... are gonna tell me ''the whole story.'' :''[Before leaving the apartment, Lalo presses play on the movie Jimmy and Kim were watching earlier and turns up the volume. He picks up Jimmy's car keys by the front door.]'' :'''Lalo''': Ford Taurus... taupe? ''[rolls eyes and shakes his head before leaving]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mike disarms Kim and forces her inside Gus' house before she can shoot. Gus watches Mike question her through surveillance monitors at his neighbors' residence.]'' :'''Kim''': What are you doing?! I–I have to go! I have to—No, wait! :'''Mike''': Ms. Wexler, I'd like you to sit down. :'''Kim''': He'll–He'll kill him! You have to... You— :'''Mike''': Now, sit there and be calm! :'''Kim''': No, I have to get back! ''I have to get back!'' :'''Mike''': ''[restrains her and forces her back down]'' Sit ''still''... and stay calm. Now, if you take a deep breath—a ''deep'' breath—nothing's gonna happen here until you calm yourself. Alright? Now, who is killing who? :'''Kim''': Lalo Salamanca! Lalo is going to kill Jimmy! ''[Mike looks shocked]'' He's there! He–he is there with Jimmy now! :'''Mike''': Salamanca is at your apartment?! :'''Kim''': Yes! He sent ''me!'' He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me. :'''Mike''': To do what exactly?! ''[pause; Kim hyperventilates]'' Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here? :'''Kim''': ''[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus]'' Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it. I only have twenty minutes left! Please! ''[Mike quickly looks and nods at one of his guys]'' He is ''alone'' with him! :'''Mike''': Alright, stay put. We'll handle this. We ''will'' handle this. ''[to Victor]'' You call Tyrus. Get him to the condo ''now.'' :'''Kim''': You said you were watching us! WHERE WERE YOU?! HUH?! ''[Mike leaves]'' '''WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!''' :''[Kim tries to get up, but Victor stands in her way and forces her to sit down again]'' :'''Victor''': You heard what the man said. :''[Mike walks through the corridor connecting the two homes and reports to Gus.]'' :'''Mike''': You heard all that? ''[Gus nods]'' Alright. You hunker down here. ''[to two bodyguards]'' You two, you stay with him. A dog barks too loud, you are on the phone with me. ''[to Arthur and Tyrus]'' You two, come with me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After growing restless over Lalo's whereabouts, Gus calls Victor and asks him to speak to Kim about Lalo]'' :'''Gus''': Why did Lalo send you? :'''Kim''': Who is this? :'''Victor''': Answer him. ''[points behind him]'' :'''Kim''': ''[pause]'' He didn't want to send me. Not at first. He wanted to send my husband... but my husband talked him out of it because he wanted to get me out of there. :'''Gus''': He... talked Lalo out of it? :'''Kim''': That's right. ''[pause]'' Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who— :''[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]'' :'''Gus''': Come with me. Both of you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records another video message for Don Eladio while holding Gus at gunpoint at the laundromat. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Lalo:''' Don Eladio, look who we have here. The one and only Gustavo Fring. [''chuckles''] And wearing body armor! Too bad they don't make armor for your head, eh? Now we're gonna take a little walk and show you around. ''Vamanos''. [''clicks tongue''] Don, I would've liked it if we didn't have to rush this so much. We could sit by your pool... strip this snake's skin off, inch by inch. Take our time, have some fun. But he shows up now... who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? :''[Gus stops at one of the large washers]'' :'''Lalo:''' A big machine hides a big secret. We have about... thirteen minutes until his bald ''gringo'' gets here with the cavalry, so Gustavo is going to have to give us the nickel tour. ''[beat; shoots Gus in the chest]'' Like I was saying, Gustavo is going to show us around. :''[Gus walks around and pushes a button, which opens the secret passage to the underground meth lab]'' :'''Lalo:''' ''Ha!'' Magnificent! I had a bathtub that did this, but... credit where credit is due, this is better. ''[laughs]'' ''Hijo de puta''. :''[Gus leads Lalo down a ladder and turns on the lights]'' :'''Lalo:''' [''chuckles; in English''] Okay. Drumroll, please. ''D-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r''... Ta-da! ''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole! ''[cackles]'' Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he built himself was a tomb. :'''Gus:''' You can't kill me. :'''Lalo:''' Why not? :'''Gus:''' I haven't told that fat pig Eladio what I think of him yet. :'''Lalo:''' ''Hoo-hoo!'' Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk. You done? :'''Gus:''' No. Not yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy:''' Lalo said he was coming back. :'''Mike:''' He's not coming. :'''Jimmy:''' No, he said he was, he told me— :'''Mike:''' You understand me? He is ''not coming back.'' Let's sit. ''[pause; Jimmy and Kim remain standing]'' '''''SIT.''''' :''[Jimmy and Kim sit at the foot of their bed; Mike stands in front of them.]'' :'''Mike:''' Alright. Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand? Say it out loud, I need to hear it. :'''Jimmy:''' ...I understand. :'''Kim:''' ...It never happened. === ''[[w:Fun and Games (Better Call Saul) | Fun and Games]]'' [6.09] === :'''Jimmy''': One day, we'll... We'll wake up, and brush our teeth, and we'll go to work. And at some point, we'll suddenly realize... [[w:Bad Choice Road | that we hadn't thought about it at all. None of it]]. ''[pause]'' And that's when we'll know. We'll know we can forget. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus meets with Don Eladio, Juan Bolsa, and the Salamancas late at night. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Eladio''': Don Hector has made a very serious accusation. :''[One of the Cousins hands a letter to Don Juan]'' :'''Bolsa''': These are Don Hector's words. Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak. Have you no defense? :'''Gus''': With all due respect, I don't believe this merits a response. :'''Eladio''': Did you witness these phone calls from Lalo? ''[Leonel and Marco shake their heads]'' I was told you saw Lalo's body. :'''Leonel''': Yes. :'''Marco''': It was burned. :'''Eladio''': Didn't the ''federales'' check the teeth? :'''Bolsa''': Yes, Don Eladio. My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well. ''[to Gus]'' I'd invite you to stay as well, Gustavo, but... I don't want my breakfast ruined by all the... ''[mocks Hector ringing his bell and laughs]'' Ay-yay-yay. ''[beat]'' The peace must be kept. What do you suggest? :'''Gus''': I wouldn't presume. :'''Eladio''': The South Valley will stay Salamanca territory. And the rest of the North, that'll be for you to manage. Working under Bolsa. :'''Bolsa''': Thank you, Don Eladio. :'''Gus''': ''[rises with Eladio out of his chair]'' Thank you. Your trust means everything, Don Eladio. :'''Eladio''': ''Bueno.'' Gustavo... ''[long pause]'' When I looked into your eyes... Hate. A little bit's okay.

No pain. :'''Manuel''': You were there? :'''Mike''': I was there. Your son made some mistakes, he fell in with bad people... but he was never like them. Not really. He had a good heart. One more thing: you won't have to worry about the Salamancas. Their day is coming. There'll be justice. :'''Manuel''': Justice? :'''Mike''': I'm sorry, my Spanish - j-''justicia.'' Justice. :'''Manuel''': ''[sighs]'' What you talk about... is not justice. What you talk of is... ''revenge.'' It never ends... my boy is gone.

Uh, that's what the police said. :'''Cheryl:''' Howard told me that you were harassing him, playing elaborate pranks of some sort.

Um, I think he honestly believed it. :'''Cheryl:''' But you're denying it. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' You know what, I didn't leave here under the best terms. The past few years, I could have been more considerate to Howard instead of yitzing him every chance I got. I guess, uh, there was a certain amount of jealousy on my part because Howard had the, uh, respect of my brother. Which I never did. ''[Jimmy steps away]'' :'''Cheryl:''' Tell me what you told the police. :'''Jimmy:''' ''[pauses]'' Okay, um... Well, I mean, it was 11pm. Howard started pounding on our door. He was very upset, going on about something, um, he thought was my fault, uh... Guess it had to do with the Sandpiper case. But I—I couldn't make head or tail out of it. We tried to calm him down. But... he just—he just wouldn't, um... Finally, he left. That's—that's it. :'''Cheryl:''' I'm not oblivious. I know people are saying he was on drugs.

Because none of it makes sense to me. :'''Cliff:''' Cheryl, maybe we should just— :'''Cheryl:''' I don't care what people are saying. I don't care what the police think. Howard was not on drugs. That simply is not true. There's something more to this. :'''Kim:''' I don't know if it's my place, but... I—I... :'''Cheryl:''' Please. Just spit it out. ''[sharply inhales]'' :'''Kim:''' ''[sighs]'' It was about a year-and-a-half ago. I was still an associate here, working late on a brief. And I saw a light on in Howard's office. I assumed the cleaning crew left it on by mistake. And I was sure that office was empty, so I didn't knock. :'''Cheryl:''' ...And? :'''Kim:''' And Howard was there at his desk, head down. And he was snorting something. :'''Cheryl:''' ''[scoffs]'' :'''Kim:''' I looked at him. He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked out. And the next morning, when we saw each other, neither of us ever said anything about it. I never told anyone. But now I wish I had. :''[Long pause]'' :'''Cheryl:''' ''[to Cliff]'' In all the years that you worked with him, have you witnessed anything like this? Even a hint? Cliff... :'''Cliff:''' I...

We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type. We're gonna roll this thing back. I'll order a pizza, we'll pull an all-nighter. Because we're in this together. Okay?

''[Kim nods]'' And you didn't tell me? :'''Kim:''' ''[pause]'' Jimmy... I thought... I thought it was a one-in-a-million chance that he'd come for us. I thought he would be caught if he did. And I told myself I was protecting you. But that's not the truth. The reason I didn't tell you was because I knew what you'd do. :'''Jimmy:''' Wh-what would I do? :'''Kim:''' You'd—you'd blame yourself. You'd fear for me. You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... ''[pause]'' ...and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that. Because I was having too much ''fun''. :''[Kim breaks down crying and returns to the bedroom to pack; Jimmy stands in the living room in silence]'' === ''[[w:Nippy (Better Call Saul) | Nippy]]'' [6.10] === :''[Saul is confronted by Jeff after he unexpectedly shows up at his home]'' :'''Jeff''': Dude, what the fuck?! :'''Saul''': I know, it's awkward, right?

Yet. :'''Jeff''': I don't know what this is about, but all I have to do is pick up the phone and it's "Bye-bye, Saul Goodman." :'''Saul''': Yeah, but you haven't picked up the phone yet, have ya? Or tried to strong-arm me for cash. And guess what? I know why. Because reward money—blackmail—that's not gonna tickle your pickle. I know what you really want. :'''Jeff''': Oh, yeah? What's that? :'''Saul''': You want in the game. :'''Jeff''': The game? What—what game? :'''Saul''': The ''game.'' The one you've been watching your entire life. You got your nose pressed up against the glass, peering in while the big boys play. :'''Jeff''': Speak English, man. What the hell are you talking about? :'''Saul''': ''The game.'' It's right there. You can see it, but you can't touch it yet. ''[pause]'' Cars, clothes. The cash, the ladies. It's about knowing all the angles, you know? Putting it all on the line and winning ''big.'' But here you are, Jeffy. Standing outside with the suckers, trying to pay off that cab, sweating the bills. You're getting older. It's—it's so close, but dammit you just can't get in! Until now. I can make it happen. :'''Jeff''': ''[beat]'' You? :'''Saul''': Saul Goodman. ''[pause]'' So, here's the deal.

And why do I gotta run around like an asshole? :'''Saul''': I already told you! Three minutes, got it? That's our window! :'''Jeff:''' Yeah, but why three minutes? :'''Saul''': Because at three minutes, that's when security sees you on the cameras and the cops haul your ass to jail, alright? So let's go. :'''Jeff:''' Wait, there's cameras? :'''Saul''': Sure there's cameras! They erase the tapes every seventy-two hour, so that's why you only take three of each, and only the pricey stuff. When the store opens the next morning, they won't even know they were robbed. By the time they do inventory, abra cadabra, no more Jeffy on the tape! Right, so, three items, three minutes... It's easy. Let's go. :''[Jeff walks back to the start of the maze.]'' :'''Saul''': How many of each? :'''Jeff:''' Three... :'''Saul''': Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered! :'''Jeff:''' I don't know... :'''Saul''': What don't you know? :'''Jeff:''' Just, this whole thing, it seems crazy! :'''Saul''': Is this too hot for you?!

Federales found him dead at the scene. But they got Salamanca. :'''Gus:''' The mercenaries are dead. To a man. And yet their mission was a success? :'''Mike:''' It has been known to happen. Now you go down there and get Varga, bring him home safe.

Definitely American-made. Something showy. And Saul Goodman has an office. Something eye-catching. Good location. :'''Jimmy:''' By the courthouse? :'''Kim:''' Yeah.

''[points at Detective Roberts]'' I mean, won't the big fella here feel like a third wheel? :'''ADA Khalil''': You and I are meeting Parson in chambers. I am asking for an emergency hearing to alter the terms of De Guzman's release. :'''Jimmy''': Sounds like a blast. Unfortunately, I'm booked solid. :'''Detective Roberts''': I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte. The family that showed at the bail hearing can't be located. No driver's license, no tax rolls, no school records. Nothing. The fact is, there isn't a single Elizabeth McKinnon under the age of 73 living in New Mexico. :'''Jimmy''': Well, this is–this is surprising. :'''ADA Khalil''': Your client has disappeared, and I'm not waiting six weeks to start looking for him. :'''Jimmy''': Hey, my guy put up seven million in bail. You think he's just gonna walk away from that? :'''Detective Roberts''': Who comes up with seven million bucks in cash? :'''ADA Khalil''': You know what I think? I think the family was fake. ''[to Jimmy]'' And I think you knew it the whole time. :'''Jimmy''': Okay, hold up. Just get real for a second. The hearing didn't go your way, and now you're trying for a do-over? You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. ''Career-ending'' prosecutorial misconduct! :'''Detective Roberts''': None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was. :'''Jimmy''': No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! ''[points at ADA Khalil]'' You got two dozen lawyers up there! You got investigators—you got the whole damn police force—and it's ''my'' fault that you can't keep track of Lalo?! ''That is '''not''' my job!'' :'''ADA Khalil''': Lalo? Who's Lalo? :'''Jimmy''': What?! ''[blinks hard]'' What did I say... I meant De Guzman. I have more than one client! ''[chuckles]'' So...

It doesn't really add up. I mean, I came in and everyone was rolling out the red carpet, and then all of a sudden something changed. I don't– :'''Norm:''' Mr. Goodman, I– :'''Jimmy:''' ''Goodman.'' The name. The second you heard it, everything turned on a dime. Wow. Waiting list? I think you're talking about an ''exclusion'' list. It's okay, I should have known. Because, I mean, look!

I'm really sick..." :'''Kim''': Good. :'''Jimmy''': "...and it's not mesothelioma, but it's not good. And I need a lawyer, and the pickings are slim. I already went to HHM.

He's got an angle. :'''Jimmy''': I ''do'' have an angle, Craig. It's an angle called justice.

Sorry we couldn't work something out. :'''Betsy''': I'm sure you are. :''[Jimmy overhears Betsy and Craig arguing as he walks around the trailer. He balls the pen in his fist]'' :'''Craig''': Mr. Goodman! :'''Jimmy''': ''[smiles; clicks pen and takes out letter]'' Best decision you've ever made. ''[turns his back to Craig for him to sign the letter]'' Here you go. :'''Betsy''': ''[after Craig signs the letter]'' So what do you know? :'''Jimmy''': You got one, too, Betsy. ''[holds out another letter]'' :''[Betsy snatches the pen and paper from Jimmy and signs the letter while pressing the pen hard on Jimmy's back]'' :'''Jimmy''': Oh, come on. That's not... ''Ow''. All right. Well, we're officially in business. Now, I have it on good authority here that Craig was not given proper counsel. :'''Betsy''': We already knew that. :'''Jimmy''': But did you ask yourselves why? :'''Craig''': No. Why? :'''Jimmy''': What if I told you that in your hour of need, the person who was supposed to be on your side was impaired? :'''Craig''': Impaired? :'''Jimmy''': It's a... a person of substance. ''[as Betsy and Craig talk to each other quietly]'' Substance in question being a certain illegal white powder. :'''Betsy''': That awful woman with the ponytail is a cocaine addict. :'''Jimmy''': No, not Kim Wexler! No! Craig's lead attorney, Howard Hamlin! :'''Craig''': Oh. I thought he was so... professional and energetic. Upbeat. :'''Betsy''': Oh... :'''Jimmy''': "Oh," is right. :'''Craig''': So upbeat is bad? :'''Jimmy''': In this case, it's textbook malpractice. The magic phrase is, "ineffective assistance of counsel." If your guy wasn't nose deep in the devil's dandruff, well, Craig's case would've turned out completely different. :'''Craig''': Oh, my God! :'''Betsy''': Don't we need some kind of proof? :'''Jimmy''': All the dirty laundry comes out in discovery. It’s just trips to rehab, secret drug deals. All we gotta do is get the ball rolling. So, I say we get started on your affidavits. :'''Craig''': Yes. :'''Betsy''': About that. We happen to know a thing or two about our rights, Mr. McGill. And it doesn’t matter what you force us to sign. We don’t have to work with any lawyer we don’t want. ''[gets in Jimmy's face]'' And that means... you’re fired. :'''Jimmy''': I am not fired. :'''Betsy''': Oh yes, you are! :'''Jimmy''': No! No! :'''Craig''': He’s fired? :'''Betsy''': Craig! :'''Jimmy''': No, you can’t fire me! I found this case, it’s mine! Hey, you wanna hear about rights?! The second you say where you got this information from, guess who automatically gets a cut?! ''Me! So go ahead! Go ahead, see what happens!'' :''[Jimmy pretends to be upset after the Kettlemans leave, but slowly starts smiling as he walks away]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gus and Juan Bolsa visit Hector at Casa Tranquila to send their condolences, still believing that Lalo is dead. The dialogue is in Spanish.]'' :'''Bolsa''': He wishes to make amends. At least hear him out. :'''Gus''': Don Hector. It's no secret that I did not see eye to eye with your nephew. And while the friction between your family and myself did not start with him, today I am reminded we are all Eladio's men. No matter our disagreements, a strike against one is a strike against all. I hope you will accept my condolences and my support as you navigate this terrible loss. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo speaks the truth. In this matter, he and I both stand shoulder to shoulder behind the Salamanca family. We are still looking for the traitor, Ignacio Varga. ''[places hand on Hector's shoulder]'' We will find him. And then your family will have justice. :''[Hector slowly reaches his hand out to Gus. As Gus holds his hand, he notices a change of expression on Hector's face and stares at him.

Oh, wait! Okay, just take a breath, and then we can... Okay, okay. I can tell you're upset. Just... I–I never advised that. No. ''[sighs]'' No, I did not, so let's agree to disagree. ''[pause]'' Okay, I think you're going to want to meet in person before you do anything rash. So how about–how about we meet up, and we can hash this out. ''[pause]'' Yeah, sure! Tomorrow, first thing. Uh, 9 A.M, I can come to your office. That work? ...Okay, okay! Good! ''[hangs up]'' :'''Kim''': I'm surprised it took them this long. You, uh... You're gonna use the stick, right? :'''Jimmy''': The stick? Well, it's a big stick. But I know these people, they're more carrot types. Especially her. ''[takes out cash and puts the bills in his suit pocket]'' Spoonful of sugar, you know? :'''Kim''': ''[beat]'' I think maybe I'll come, too. :'''Jimmy''': Tomorrow? Really? :'''Kim''': Sure. I have time. :'''Jimmy''': ''[pause]'' Okay. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Tyrus''': They found the truck, but no sign of Varga. Salamancas have all eyes looking for him, including the federales. Still not picking up his cell, so nobody got a lock on it. Now as for Lalo, still missing. As far as everybody in the cartel is concerned, top to bottom, Lalo is dead. :'''Mike''': May I offer a thought? ''[pause; to Gus]'' If Salamanca was coming straight for you, he'd be here already. We've got guys watching anywhere he might turn up this side of Mexico. Wire taps on any phone he might call. There is not a whiff of him. Now, my guess is he's smart enough to know it's not in the Salamanca family interest to take you out without a reason the bosses can get behind. So, the odds are he's searching for Varga. Finds him alive, gets him to talk. ''[pause; Gus remains silent]'' Varga's alone in foreign territory, no one he can trust. The kid's smart, but he's not gonna last. ''[Gus stands up]'' He's gonna get caught. :''[Gus accidentally knocks a glass over and kneels down to pick up the shards from the floor]'' :'''Gus''': Continue. :'''Mike''': The best way to handle this: I take four of our best guys, cross the border and track Varga down. Let me find him, bring him back before the Salamancas sweep him up. It's our only play. :''[After cleaning up the broken glass, Gus throws it away and looks out a nearby window]'' :'''Gus''': ''[beat; in Spanish]'' Varga's father. Bring him here. :'''Mike''': No. You're not doing that. ''[locks the door after Tyrus gets his gun out]'' You don't understand. That's not happening. :'''Tyrus''': ''[walks up to Mike and aims gun at him]'' Just say the word. :'''Mike''': Whatever happens next... it's not gonna go down the way you think it is. :''[Mike stares at Tyrus, who cocks his gun and waits for Mike to make a move.]'' :'''Mike''': ''[beat; hears cell phone vibrating]'' It's him. :'''Tyrus''': Bullshit. I've been calling Varga for hours. He hasn't picked up once. :'''Mike''': He's been trying to get me since he left the Salamancas. ''[opens phone]'' You want me to answer it? :''[Tyrus turns to Gus, who nods. Mike answers the phone and speaks to Nacho]'' :'''Mike''': Yeah. ''[pause]'' Yeah. ...Not my call.

I don't know anything about schemes or character assassination or whatnot, but... ''[clears throat]'' if you're feeling slighted, we can make it right.

I'm guessing you want something. :'''Betsy:''' Do what you promised. :'''Jimmy:''' Do what I what? :'''Betsy:''' Exonerate Craig. Get his good name back. :'''Jimmy:''' Alright. Well, as you've been advised, for a number of reasons that's not gonna happen. :'''Betsy:''' It ''is'' gonna happen. It is. It's... You're just gonna have to figure out a way. :'''Craig:''' If anyone can do this, it's you. :'''Betsy:''' I know you don't want us going to Howard Hamlin. Because whatever it is you're up to, I'm sure he would be ''very'' interested. :'''Jimmy:''' Okay, let's just go easy on the threats. :'''Betsy:''' We want our lives back! The way they were before.

Good to hear from you. :'''Kim:''' How are Noreen and the boys? :'''Justin:''' Oh, hanging in. Noreen always talks about having you by for dinner some time. :'''Kim:''' We should do that. Tell her to call me. Listen, I was wondering who your CID officer is these days. :'''Justin:''' You have something for us? :'''Kim:''' Oh, I just might: Tax preparer fraud. A lot of it. :'''Justin:''' I'm listening. :'''Kim:''' Well, it's this, uh, run-down little mom-and-pop outfit I've had my eye on for a while. ''[chuckles]'' Don't ask me why. Clearly, I need to get a life. But from what I can glean, their clients always end up with smaller refunds than they deserve. :'''Betsy:''' ''[whispering]'' Please don't do this. :'''Justin:''' Do the clients sign over third-party authorization? :'''Kim:''' Bingo. So what I'm thinking is, these creeps file legit returns with you guys, give the clients fake ones that show about half the proper amount, and then pocket the difference. :'''Justin:''' Classic scam. Well, I know just the guy to go after these dirtbags. Tony Oropallo. Real bulldog. I'll transfer you over. :'''Kim:''' Such a big help, Justin. :'''Justin:''' You got it. Talk soon. :'''Betsy:''' You don't have to do this. :'''Kim:''' ''[to Betsy]'' Don't I? Betsy... You'll probably get twenty-four months, maybe eighteen with good behavior. But Craig? You are a two-time loser. They will definitely make an example out of you. Each false return they discover will be a separate felony. What are we talking? A hundred? :'''Betsy:''' Uh... :'''Kim:''' Two-hundred? :'''Tony:''' ''[beat]'' CID, Anthony Oropallo speaking. :''[Betsy runs to the phone and slams down the receiver to end the call]'' :'''Betsy:''' Please.

My Werner was too humble. :'''Lalo''': ...And what were they building there? :'''Margarethe''': My husband didn't talk much about his work. It was very secretive. :'''Lalo''': Oh... I'm sure he must have told you something. :'''Margarethe''': The lawyers came to my house. I asked questions, they wouldn't say much. :'''Lalo''': ''[shakes his head]'' Lawyers. :'''Margarethe''': They went through Werner's things. Took anything that they called, uh...

Why do I need all that stuff? :'''Lalo''': And what about your husband's men? I mean, they must have said something to you. :'''Margarethe''': Werner loved ''deine jungs''—his boys—but I never even met them. :'''Lalo''': What do you mean? Not even at the funeral? :'''Margarethe''': You'd think they would want to pay respect to the man who saved their lives. They sent flowers, keepsakes, and so on... but not one of them showed his face. :'''Lalo''': Wow. That is...

The thing is, she's lost her dial-in instructions. ''[sighs nervously]'' I'm just looking everywhere and can't find them. :'''HHM Employee #2''': I'd be happy to help you with that.

''something''. :'''Cliff:''' The missing photos. :'''Howard:''' Yeah. My P.I., Genidowski, had to have been in on it. He-he must have shown me one set of photos and then switched them after I left the office. :'''Cliff:''' Howard... :'''Howard:''' Three weeks ago, Julie got a call from our detective agency. They wanted to update their contact info, so of course she changed the number in the system. But it turns out, it wasn't them. That was Jimmy. So when I needed an investigator to follow Jimmy, I called his fake number and his fake man. She just dialed the old number and, of course, got the actual agency. And, no surprise, no one by the name of Genidowski had ever worked there. I hired a con man. I got played. Every step of the way. I know what it sounds like, but you have to believe me. :'''Cliff:''' I... It doesn't matter. Rich went back to the previous offer. I'll give a recommend to the class that we take it. :'''Howard:''' No. No way. We do not let Jimmy win this. :'''Cliff:''' Why would Jimmy even do this? He's a profit participant!

And you're gonna need both. :'''Jimmy''': A gun? :'''Lalo''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't worry. I mean, it's–it's easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety—it's idiot proof. So, you go up to that house, you walk right up to that black door. Don't run. Just be casual, like a stroll, you know? Keep the gun somewhere behind you where they can't see it. You ring the bell, you count to three, you step back. They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point... and you shoot.

He kinda looks like a librarian... but don't be fooled. Even a housecat can scratch. So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now, you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun: Point and shoot. Take a picture. One where I can see the face ''clearly''... and then you bring it back here where, me and Mrs. Goodman will be waiting for you. And then you're done! I'd say it's about a twenty minute drive over there... ''[Jimmy looks nervously at Kim]'' twenty minutes back. Maybe ten minutes to do the job. Let's go with an hour altogether. So, you're back here in an hour, or— :''[Jimmy forcibly turns on the Saul Goodman charm]'' :'''Jimmy''': Send her. :'''Kim''': ...What?! :'''Jimmy''': She should do it. :'''Kim''': Jimmy... :'''Lalo''': ''[pause]'' Why her? :'''Kim''': ''[whispers to Jimmy]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': This guy, the–the housecat. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, please. :'''Jimmy''': He looks through his peephole... :'''Kim''': ''Please.'' :'''Jimmy''': ...in the middle of the night, and he sees me? "Who's this asshole? What's he doing?" Maybe–maybe he gets ''his'' gun, maybe he calls the cops. Either way, that door stays shut. But he sees a woman... :'''Kim''': No. :'''Jimmy''': ...she looks like she's in distress. Maybe her car broke down. ''[chuckles]'' I mean, you'd open the door for her, wouldn't you? :'''Kim''': Stop! Stop! :'''Lalo''': Yeah, but... she's really clever. I don't know if she's gonna stick to the plan. :'''Jimmy''': She will. :'''Kim''': No, no, no. :'''Jimmy''': No cops. You know she will. :'''Kim''': No. No, this... This doesn't even make any sense! I–I–I've never shot a gun before! I've never even held one! :'''Jimmy''': Like I have. :'''Kim''': Jimmy, what are you doing?! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo while pointing at Kim]'' You know she's the best choice. :'''Kim''': No, I'm not! I don't—I can't! I can't do it! :'''Jimmy''': ''[to Lalo]'' She can do it. You know she can do it! :'''Kim''': No! Jimmy, I'll stay! Stop! Just stop! :'''Jimmy''': You know I'm right! Listen! :'''Kim''': Stop it! Shut up! :'''Jimmy''': Listen! :'''Kim''': SHUT UP! :'''Lalo''': ''[rolls his eyes]'' Oh, my God! Okay, fine! Yeah, heard! Whatever. Give her the keys, give her the address. Let's go. ''[walks toward the front door]'' :'''Kim''': ''[to Jimmy]'' No. Don't... Don't. :'''Jimmy''': You... you gotta go. :'''Kim''': ''[softly]'' Don't do this. :'''Jimmy''': Come on. Hey...

Okay, ''[looks at watch]'' so one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair while interrogating him about the assassination attempt at his hacienda]'' :'''Lalo''': You know, after I saw you last, I went home. My home. ''Mi cielito lindo''... And you know what happened? Men came. Armed men, in the middle of the night. To my home. Trying to get to me. And you know what they did? They killed people I care about. They killed my cook. My gardener. A seventeen-year-old kid I knew since he was knee-high. Never hurt a fly. Butchered my housekeeper, Yolanda. ''Una viejita, cabrón.'' They shot her in the back. :'''Jimmy''': ...I'm sorry. :'''Lalo''': Now, how did these men... get into my home? Do you know? :'''Jimmy''': I... I have–I have no idea. :'''Lalo''': Ignacio Varga. ''He'' let them in. And who did Ignacio introduce me to? ''[taps Jimmy's head]'' You. :'''Jimmy''': Ignacio... Nacho? ''[brief pause]'' Whoa, whoa, whoa! I–I barely know Ignacio! Whatever he did, he did alone! Not with me! Listen, you gotta believe me! Hand to God, I had no part in this—it wasn't me! ''It was '''Igna—''''' :''[Lalo sneaks up from behind and gags Jimmy with a rolled-up shirt]'' :'''Jimmy''': ''[through the gag]'' Ignacio! It's not me! Listen, listen!

And then you... are gonna tell me ''the whole story.'' :''[Before leaving the apartment, Lalo presses play on the movie Jimmy and Kim were watching earlier and turns up the volume.

You— :'''Mike''': Now, sit there and be calm! :'''Kim''': No, I have to get back! ''I have to get back!'' :'''Mike''': ''[restrains her and forces her back down]'' Sit ''still''... and stay calm.

He–he wanted to send Jimmy, but then he sent me. :'''Mike''': To do what exactly?! ''[pause; Kim hyperventilates]'' Ms. Wexler, you stay with me! What were you supposed to do here? :'''Kim''': ''[beat; points at a man who looks identical to Gus]'' Shoot him. I'm–I'm supposed to shoot him, and then take a photo, and then get back. That's it. I only have twenty minutes left! Please! ''[Mike quickly looks and nods at one of his guys]'' He is ''alone'' with him! :'''Mike''': Alright, stay put. We'll handle this. We ''will'' handle this.

''[pause]'' Now that I've told you everything I know, please tell me. Tell me who— :''[Gus hangs up the phone and looks at his bodyguards]'' :'''Gus''': Come with me. Both of you. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lalo records another video message for Don Eladio while holding Gus at gunpoint at the laundromat.

Now we're gonna take a little walk and show you around. ''Vamanos''. [''clicks tongue''] Don, I would've liked it if we didn't have to rush this so much. We could sit by your pool... strip this snake's skin off, inch by inch. Take our time, have some fun. But he shows up now... who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? :''[Gus stops at one of the large washers]'' :'''Lalo:''' A big machine hides a big secret.

''[laughs]'' ''Cadenza de wow'', no? ''[in Spanish]'' Don Eladio, I've heard some stories about this place. It took a bunch of German engineers ten months to build all of this. They used two hundred pounds of high explosive. Dug out 120,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock. And all... without disturbing the laundry up there. In the middle of a city with a million people! That's pretty badass, right? :''[Gus trips and falls to the ground when Lalo pushes his pistol against his back]'' :'''Lalo''': One moment, Don. ''[puts the camcorder between his teeth as he switches the magazines of his pistol]'' Think of the laboratory you could put here, Don Eladio. ''Eh?'' How much meth you could make... that was his plan. Cut you out to become boss. And now here we are, in this big hole! ''[cackles]'' Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he built himself was a tomb. :'''Gus:''' You can't kill me. :'''Lalo:''' Why not? :'''Gus:''' I haven't told that fat pig Eladio what I think of him yet. :'''Lalo:''' ''Hoo-hoo!'' Perfect! You've got one minute. :'''Gus:''' Eladio... you greasy, bloated pimp. You talk of honor. But you have none. A pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps has more honor. Jackals. That's all you are! No vision. No patience. No thought. Stupid and impulsive! That is how I did all this. You couldn't see it, couldn't even conceive of it. And you Salamancas... you're the worst vermin of all. You say you believe in "blood for blood" but you only understand blood for money! You're whores! ''[in English]'' I understand blood for blood. Hector? Yeah, I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know '''''I''' buried every one of you.'' :'''Lalo:''' ''[sniggers]'' Big talk. You done? :'''Gus:''' No. Not yet. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jimmy:''' Lalo said he was coming back. :'''Mike:''' He's not coming. :'''Jimmy:''' No, he said he was, he told me— :'''Mike:''' You understand me?

Here's what's gonna happen: In a few days, Howard Hamlin's car will be found several states away by the water. The odometer will have rolled to the exact number of miles it took to get there. There will be cocaine in the upholstery. That was the story you were setting up for this guy, yeah? They'll call it a suicide, hoping the body will come washing up. It never will. At some point, you're gonna hear about it. Someone calls you, someone at the courthouse mentions it—the moment that happens—you call the cops. His car was here for hours last night. Good chance somebody noticed it. That means you are the last people to see him alive. Cops are gonna want to hear from you. You tell the cops you saw him—he came here, seemed like maybe he was chemically altered, didn't make a lick of sense. Then he left, that's all you know. You keep telling the lie you've been telling. Now, Ms. Wexler tells me she has court at ten. What's on your docket? ''[Jimmy doesn't answer]'' Hey. ''Listen.'' Where do you need to be? :'''Jimmy:''' Uh, office. At my office. Clients start showing up around 9:30. ''Oh'', my car is gone. :'''Mike:''' No. It's on the way home, you'll have it when you need it. So you two are going to go about your day—normal, same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space, nothing out of the ordinary, you ''cover.'' Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in Y, that's all. When you get home, we'll be gone and everything will be back the way it was. Now, I need to impress upon you: none of this ever happened. None of it. Understand? Say it out loud, I need to hear it. :'''Jimmy:''' ...I understand. :'''Kim:''' ...It never happened. === ''[[w:Fun and Games (Better Call Saul) | Fun and Games]]'' [6.09] === :'''Jimmy''': One day, we'll...

Dictated to Leonel and Marco, letter by letter. "The assault on my nephew's hacienda failed. Lalo fought the assassins and won. The day after the attack, Lalo called me. I heard the truth from his own lips. It was Fring who sent the mercenaries, not the Peruvians. We kept Lalo's survival a secret. My nephew was about to take his revenge on the traitor, face-to-face. Instead, he disappeared. It is the Chicken Man's doing. Don Eladio, look into Fring's eyes. There you will see the truth. The Chicken Man hates you. He is our enemy. He plots against us. I demand blood for blood." :''[Bolsa folds the letter and sits back down]'' :'''Eladio''': Well, Gustavo? :'''Gus''': ''[pause]'' I have no response. :'''Bolsa''': Gustavo, you must speak. Have you no defense? :'''Gus''': With all due respect, I don't believe this merits a response. :'''Eladio''': Did you witness these phone calls from Lalo? ''[Leonel and Marco shake their heads]'' I was told you saw Lalo's body. :'''Leonel''': Yes. :'''Marco''': It was burned. :'''Eladio''': Didn't the ''federales'' check the teeth? :'''Bolsa''': Yes, Don Eladio. My brother tells me the dental records matched. :'''Eladio''': And that rat, Varga... What did he say before he died? :'''Bolsa''': He said he was in the pay of the Peruvians, Los Odios. We know he took their money, we found bank statements. :'''Eladio''': ''[beat; looks at his watch]'' Well... It's late. Don Hector... Since you've come a long way, tonight you sleep in my bed. ''[Hector angrily rings his bell repeatedly in protest]'' No, I insist. No arguing. I'm giving you my room. Very comfortable. And who knows? Maybe a couple of the girls will come to visit! ''[pause; Hector continues ringing his bell]'' Please. ''[Leonel and Marco carry Hector by his wheelchair and leave]'' Good night, Hector. Sleep well. ''[to Gus]'' I'd invite you to stay as well, Gustavo, but... I don't want my breakfast ruined by all the... ''[mocks Hector ringing his bell and laughs]'' Ay-yay-yay. ''[beat]'' The peace must be kept. What do you suggest? :'''Gus''': I wouldn't presume. :'''Eladio''': The South Valley will stay Salamanca territory. And the rest of the North, that'll be for you to manage. Working under Bolsa. :'''Bolsa''': Thank you, Don Eladio. :'''Gus''': ''[rises with Eladio out of his chair]'' Thank you.

Or tried to strong-arm me for cash. And guess what? I know why. Because reward money—blackmail—that's not gonna tickle your pickle. I know what you really want. :'''Jeff''': Oh, yeah? What's that? :'''Saul''': You want in the game. :'''Jeff''': The game? What—what game? :'''Saul''': The ''game.'' The one you've been watching your entire life. You got your nose pressed up against the glass, peering in while the big boys play. :'''Jeff''': Speak English, man. What the hell are you talking about? :'''Saul''': ''The game.'' It's right there. You can see it, but you can't touch it yet. ''[pause]'' Cars, clothes. The cash, the ladies. It's about knowing all the angles, you know? Putting it all on the line and winning ''big.'' But here you are, Jeffy. Standing outside with the suckers, trying to pay off that cab, sweating the bills. You're getting older. It's—it's so close, but dammit you just can't get in! Until now. I can make it happen. :'''Jeff''': ''[beat]'' You? :'''Saul''': Saul Goodman. ''[pause]'' So, here's the deal. I will show you the game, and then we're done. :''[Jeff stares at Saul for another moment before smiling]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jeff runs around a maze in the outline of a mall.

So let's go. :'''Jeff:''' Wait, there's cameras? :'''Saul''': Sure there's cameras! They erase the tapes every seventy-two hour, so that's why you only take three of each, and only the pricey stuff. When the store opens the next morning, they won't even know they were robbed. By the time they do inventory, abra cadabra, no more Jeffy on the tape! Right, so, three items, three minutes... It's easy.

In 2022, Simonyan was sanctioned by the European Union for "actions and policies which undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine". == Quotes == * We're fighting a huge, armed enemy. Maybe it's not that simple for Russia to fight all of NATO over there. * But also, this is not Ukraine, it's NATO. It's all their power being used against us now.

That’s what they’re asking for. Additionally, with high level of probability, it will never be able to join anyway, for various reasons.

One thing that only few journalists understand is that Russia started dissolving the Soviet Union of its own accord. We were the ones to realize that Communism was a failure. We understood that it was wrong to impose our will on other nations. We released the Eastern bloc into freedom. We are a different country today, one with a different mentality -- which is something that Western journalists sometimes find difficult to comprehend. You, for example, stated earlier that Russia was acting aggressively without backing it up with facts. **[https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/spiegel-interview-russia-today-editor-in-chief-margarita-simonyan-a-916356.html "'The West Never Got Over the Cold War Stereotype'" in ''Der Spiegel''] (13 August 2013) *Everything you say will be used against you. **[https://www.ft.com/content/7987e5c2-54b0-11e6-9664-e0bdc13c3bef "Lunch with the FT: Kremlin media star Margarita Simonyan"] (29 July 2016) *We are far less critical of western policy than western media are critical of Russia.

It really ate me up inside. I realised that there are quite a lot of people in the world who don’t think that’s how it should be, so it probably makes sense to make something for them.

When I read the western press I see: ‘Russia has to’, ‘Putin has to’, ‘They must’. This really irritates people in Russia because we don’t see your moral grounds to lecture everyone. **[https://www.ft.com/content/7987e5c2-54b0-11e6-9664-e0bdc13c3bef "Lunch with the FT: Kremlin media star Margarita Simonyan"] (29 July 2016) *Actually, I also like America in a lot of ways. I have friends and family there, the food is good, at the end of the day. I really love American culture . . . In the 1990s we looked at America like a saviour.

They're trapped in the world of their own fantasies. Recently, I was re-reading old letters that I sent to my parents when I was studying in America.

Knowing us, knowing our leader, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, knowing how things work around here . . . I think that the most improbable outcome—that it will all end in a nuclear strike—is still more probable than defeat.

You had forty-five minutes to make me anything, and you grill me a slice of fucking melon? :'''La Tasha''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': The rub doesn't work. I'm disappointed, it's underwhelming! One! ''[to Fernando]'' Okay, young man, could you take your glasses off for one minute? How old are you? :'''Fernando''': Twenty-eight. :'''Gordon''': Stop! Harry Potter looks older! ''[audience laughs]'' Jesus, are you on a diet? :'''Fernando''': It's enough. :'''Gordon''': It's enough?! :'''Fernando''': It's enough. :'''Gordon''': ''[laughs along with the audience and contestants]'' For you or me? :'''Roe''': Oh, shit! :'''Gordon''': Okay, so what's the dish? :'''Fernando''': Pan-seared pigeon, chef, with a sweet potato purée and a...California fig and balsamic reduction. :'''Gordon''': You cooked the squab beautifully. Purée's just absolutely sublime. Congratulations, four. :'''Fernando''': Thank you, chef. <hr width=50%> :'''Gordon''': Young man, first name is... :'''Frank''': Frank. :'''Gordon''': And you're Italian, right? :'''Frank''': That's correct. :'''Gordon''': Tell me what amazing Italian dish you have under that dome. :'''Frank''': ''[removes lid]'' It's a filet mignon Bordelaise. :'''Gordon''': Filet mignon Bordelaise. Does that sound Italian? :'''Frank''': No, not Italian at all. :'''Gordon''': ''[picks up bone]'' Frank, where's the dog? ''[audience laughs]'' :'''Frank''': Well, I mean, you've never had bone marrow before? :'''Gordon''': Well, normally they take it ''out'' of the fucking bone! :'''Frank''': Really? :'''Gordon''': Uh, yeah. So...''[takes out bone marrow with a knife]'' let's take out the bone marrow. Now it looks like the dog shat on my plate! Wish me luck. :''[Gordon tastes the dish before spitting the bone marrow out]'' :'''Gordon''': This is all bad. Uh, one. :'''Frank''': I'm sorry. <hr width=50%> :'''Gordon''': Sterling? :'''Sterling''': Yes, sir! My name is Sterling. :'''Gordon''': You look so excited like you're about to piss your pants! :'''Sterling''': ''[laughs along with the audience]'' I'm always one hundred! :'''Gordon''': What's his hundred? :'''Sterling''': I'm a hundred percent. :'''Gordon''': O-kay! A hundred percent, right. Show me what you're made. :'''Sterling''': I'm from the South, so I did shrimp and grits. :'''Gordon''': Jesus Christ! Look at the size of that...! :'''Sterling''': I made it with love. :'''Gordon''': ''[after tasting the dish]'' Shrimp cooked beautifully. Unfortunately, I mean, it looks a mess! Three! <hr width=50%> :'''Gordon''': ''[to JP]'' When you were cooking your signature dish, you finished with literally twenty minutes to go. Did you cook another one? :'''JP''': Yes, I did. :'''Gordon''': It better be amazing. ''[JP removes the lid]'' What is it? :'''JP''': It is a Boston baked haddock with fingerling potatoes, haricot verts, and a lemon berblanc sauce. :'''Gordon''': The fish is dry. ''[takes another bite of fish before spitting it out]'' The potatoes are solid. ''[picks up lemon]'' And that looks like something out of the 1970s. ''[audience laughs]'' You plate early, overcook the fish the second time around, and then send me undercooked potatoes. You're the only one tonight that actually cooked their dish twice, so... I'm struggling whether to let you come to Hell's Kitchen or just send you home. Do you want to go home right now? :'''JP''': Not at all. It won't happen again, chef. :'''Gordon''': Really? Uh, out of five, JP, you get a one. :'''JP''': Sorry. <hr width=50%> :''[Gordon has found out that Janai has brought up 8 scallops instead of 10]'' :'''Gordon''': Hey Janai! :'''Janai''': Yes, chef? :'''Gordon''': Two times five? :'''Sade''': (interview) Uhh... ''[laughs]'' :'''Janai''': Ten. :'''Gordon''': Are you okay?! I'm missing two scallops! ''[Janai laughs]'' Not funny! :'''Sade''': (interview; laughs) <hr width=50%> :''[Gordon checks on lobster and scallops brought up by JP and JR]'' :'''Gordon''': Hey, HEY! All of you, come here! ''Look at that!'' Touch that! Look at what you're giving me! :'''Fernando''': They're raw. :'''Gordon''': It's still fucking moving! ''[smashes the scallops]'' :'''JR''': Sorry, chef. :'''Santos''': (interview) Once the snowball starts, man, it doesn't stop! :'''Gordon''': Raw lobster! :'''JP''': That was my fault, chef. :'''Gordon''': Jesus Christ! :'''JP''': I'm dropping three more. :'''Gordon''': JP! :'''JP''': Yes, chef? :'''Gordon''': '''JUST PATHETIC!!''' JR! :'''JR''': Yes, chef? :'''Gordon''': '''JUST RIDICULOUS!!''' :'''Santos''': (interview) You’re sabotaging us! Thank you for the fucking snowball! ASSHOLES!!! ''[double flips]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Gordon''': Two chicken, two halibut! :'''JP''': ''[to JR]'' We don't have another halibut. We can't serve that one, dude. :'''Gordon''': Push them!! :'''Steve''': HOW LONG DO YOU GUYS NEED ON THAT HALIBUT?! :'''JP''': Right now, chef! (interview) Fuck it. I'll bring it up. Whatever. ''[to Gordon]'' Here's two pieces of halibut. :'''Gordon''': ''[examines JP's fish]'' Oh, what have you done there? It's fucking... ''[to blue team]'' Blue team! ''[to JP]'' Come here, you! :'''JP''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': ''[to Steve]'' Chicken's cooked perfectly. :'''Steve''': Thank you, chef. :'''Gordon''': Look what's next to it, on the ''same '''fucking''' table!'' Look at ''that!'' :'''Frank''': (interview) Everything's fucked up in front of us. It's ''nuts.'' :'''Gordon''': And that is an example of the ''shit'' that's been coming out of that station all ''[slams fist on plate]'' '''FUCKING NIGHT!''' ''[to JP and JR]'' You, and you ''fuck off'' upstairs! GET OUT! '''FUCK OFF!!''' GET OUT!! <hr width=50%> :'''Gordon''': Blue team! I cannot take ONE MORE MISTAKE! :'''Blue Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': '''GET IT TOGETHER!''' :'''Blue Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Sterling''': (interview) I still believe my team can do it. I believe we're ''gonna'' do it! :'''Gordon''': Halibut! :'''Fernando''': Walking! :''[Gordon checks on halibut brought up by Fernando]'' :'''Gordon''': Holy fuck! ALL OF YOU, COME HERE! :'''Blue Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': Fucking halibut's raw and cold! :'''Fernando''': That was my fault, chef. :'''Gordon''': Yeah, '''FUCK OFF!!''' ''[angrily throws the halibut away; points to every member of the Blue team]'' You, you, you, you, you, you and you '''FUCK OFF! GET OUT!

Unfortunately, JP stayed there. === Episode Two [13.02] === :'''Gordon''': ''[tastes risotto brought by Janai]'' Mush. ''[returns to workstation]'' All of you! ALL OF YOU! :'''Red Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': Taste ''that!'' Quick!! It's like baby food, it's mush! Janai, it's overcooked! :'''Janai''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Not by two minutes, but by ten minutes! :'''Janai''': Yes, chef. :'''Jennifer''': (interview) Janai... "Fuck, fuck, FUCK," is all I have to say! You're creating baby food! It looked like shit coming out the fuckin' blender! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': STOP! ''[throws spoon]'' STOP! Time-out! Time-out! Marino! :'''Marino''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Get in here. You're Italian, taste that fucking shit risotto. ''[Marino takes a bite of the risotto]'' :'''Marino''': Mushy. :'''Gordon''': Overcooked lobster tail, overcooked scallops, and mush risotto. :'''Denine''': (interview) My hands are shaking right now. :'''Ashley''': (interview) Holy shit! :'''Gordon''': All of you, come here, yeah all of you. All of you, all of you. Get the fuck out. ''[sends the red team to the storage room]''. Get in there! GET IN! :'''La Tasha''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': ''[slams the storage room door]''. Have a ''fucking'' meeting, and sort it out. But when you walk back in that kitchen, if anyone hasn’t gotten their shit together, GAME OVER! :'''Red Team''': Yes, chef! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': How long? :'''Frank''': Is it already done? :'''Steve''': ''[to Sterling]'' The halibut's ready! :'''Sterling''': I'm not ready yet!

Two halibut, two lamb! :'''Steve''': Walking with the halibut! :'''Fernando''': Lamb walking! :'''Steve''': ''[to Gordon as he brings fish to the pass]'' Two halibut. :'''Gordon''': Lamb! ''[Sterling doesn't respond]'' No answer. '''LAMB!!''' :'''Sterling''': Lamb is one minute off! It's too rare, chef! :'''Gordon''': One minute off?! Oh my God! :'''Sterling''': That was too rare, but I got one! I got one ready! By the time I cut this, I'll be ready! :'''Steve''': Go! COME ON! :'''Fernando''': ''[to Sterling]'' If it's not good, don't slice it. :'''Sterling''': It's good! :'''Fernando''': Wait, check. Check it. Check first. It's raw! Don't slice it more! Just put it back! :'''Sterling''': (interview; facepalms) Oh, no. What have I done now, man? :'''Gordon''': ''[to Sterling]'' Hey, you! FUCK-WIT! Come here, you! Get me the ''fucking lamb!''

GET OUT! :'''Frank''': Yes, chef. (interview) Messing up, it's like... I don't know. It's like a monkey and a wrench. A monkey, a wrench and a monkey. Monkey and a... That's not right.

I'm over here! I'm...Chef, we got it. I got it. :'''JR''': (interview) Frank is pretending like he's doing something when he's really not.

Just touch! :'''Roe''': (interview) No matter who cooked them, it's still got my name on it because I'm on fish station. Thanks, Kalen. :'''Gordon''': Just touch. :'''Kalen''': ''[to Roe]'' I said they were not ready! :'''Sade''': So shouldn't have sent them if they're not ready! :'''Gordon''': STOP!!

Service! :'''Roe''': (interview) Not a good feeling. I felt like I was sitting at the kids' table. :'''Jennifer''': I'll re-fire! :'''Gordon''': ''[to Marino]'' Two nice glasses of sauvignon blanc for the Saint-Jacques, please. Quickly. :'''Roe''': (interview) Kalen, I mean, this is your fault. You failed! :'''Gordon''': ''[to Kalen and Roe]'' Eat them! :'''Kalen''': Eat them, eat them. (interview, facepalms) Ugh... Why did I put them up there?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank''': ''[to JR]'' I think it's undercooked. I'm telling you. :'''JR''': No, it's not. :'''Gordon''': JR, come on! :'''JR''': ''[to Frank]'' Let's just walk it. (interview) Frank, shut the hell up! I've been cooking for eleven years. I know how to cook pork. :'''Frank''': (interview) JR's an idiot. When that pork was ready to go, I said to him, "Pork, cook it a little longer!" :''[Gordon inspects the halibut and pork brought by Santos and JR, respectively]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to Santos]'' Halibut's cooked beautifully! :'''Santos''': Thank you, chef!

You wanna walk? :'''Gordon''': SHUT UP! ''[to Santos]'' COME HERE!! :'''Santos''': (interview) When Chef Ramsay says, "Come here," your heart just goes to your fucking feet. :'''Gordon''': What does V.I.P. mean?! :'''Santos''': Very important person, chef. :'''Gordon''': Louder! :'''Santos''': Very important person, chef! :'''Gordon''': LOUDER! :'''Santos''': VERY IMPORTANT PERSON, CHEF! :'''Gordon''': '''LOUDER!!''' :'''Santos''': '''VERY IMPORTANT PERSON, CHEF!!''' :'''Gordon''': SO WHY ARE YOU SERVING '''RAW FUCKING SALMON?!''' ''[points at Sterling]'' Overcooked! ''[points at Santos]'' Raw! What's next?! :'''Santos''': Perfect! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': One chicken, one lamb! '''HOW LONG?!''' :'''Frank''': Coming in right now, chef. Chicken right here. :'''Gordon''': Lamb?! :'''JR''': Forty-five seconds on the lamb, please. (interview) I'm trying to come back. I'm gonna make sure that the lamb is cooked perfectly. Chef Ramsay is ready to explode at any moment. :'''Gordon''': ''[looks at the lamb]'' That looks like shit!

''[to Frank]'' You, GET OUT! ''[to Fernando and Santos]'' You two, FUCK OFF! :'''Santos''': (interview) JR dropped the ball on the meat station. He fucked me, he screwed me over! He's the one that screwed up dinner service. :'''Gordon''': Sterling! :'''Sterling''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': Get on meat! :'''Sterling''': (interview) What the fuck is going on?! :'''Gordon''': Steve, beet salad! :'''Steve''': Yes, chef! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': I waited for JR to wake up and find his voice, but he never did.

It's not lunch, guys! :'''Steve''': Alright! :'''Sterling''': Let's go, man! :'''Gordon''': Come on! :'''Steve''': ''[grabs scallop plate]'' Scallops! :'''Sterling''': Scallops, chef! :'''Gordon''': No! :'''Sterling''': Clams! :'''Gordon''': NO! :'''Steve''': (interview) Your head's racing a mile a minute. You're just going nonstop, but I know it's gotta be something in the ocean. ''[to Gordon]'' Alligator! :'''Gordon''': '''NO!''' Alligator chowder? What?! :'''Ashley''': (interview; laughs) Time's a-tickin', fools. And you're fucking up! :'''Sterling''': Cod. :'''Gordon''': NO! :'''Frank''': Fuck! :'''Steve''': Monkfish! :'''Gordon''': NO! :'''Santos''': Come on, guys! Taste, taste it!

That's alligator right off the damn dome, you know?! :'''Aaron''': Buffalo! :'''Gordon''': No! :'''Aaron''': Fuck! :'''Sterling''': Alligator, man! It's Cajun! :'''Sade''': (interview) Sterling is yelling, "Alligator," but nobody is listening to him. I'm like, "Yes!

Anybody? :'''La Tasha''': A dry capellini, chef. :'''Katie''': Cold, chef. :'''Roe''': (interview) Kalen, you brought that capellini to Chef?

How long? :'''Aaron''': 30 seconds, chef! :'''Narrator''': ...it's up to Aaron on the fish station to complete the last order of appetizers. :'''Aaron''': Walking with scallops! :'''Sterling''': ''[brings risotto to the pass]'' Heard! Walking now. Risotto in the window! :'''Aaron''': ''[brings scallops to the pass]'' Chef, scallops behind. :'''Gordon''': This is a joke. ''[to the blue team]'' Blue team! :'''Aaron''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': All of you, come here! Just touch that. :'''Sterling''': Raw, man. :'''Aaron''': Raw, chef. :'''Gordon''': Fire one more scallop! :'''Aaron''': Yes, chef! :'''Steve''': Come on, Aaron. :'''Gordon''': ''[to Aaron]'' Hey! I turn my back and they're raw. How? :'''Aaron''': I couldn't-- :'''Gordon''': I deserve an answer! :'''Aaron''': I wish I could give you an answer, chef. :'''Steve''': Aaron, let's bounce back. :'''Aaron''': All day, every day.

I'm ready. :'''Sade''': Let's go! Wait, wh–where's the garnish? :'''Roe''': What? :'''Sade''': Salmon and branzino. :'''Narrator''': But Roe on garnish can't seem to keep up. :'''Sade''': What's up?! You said you had it! (interview) It is so frustrating to have all of my proteins cooked perfectly, ready to go up, and I do not have cauliflower that is ready. It's extremely irritating. :'''Gordon''': Where's the cauliflower? :'''Sade''': ''[to Roe]'' I can't walk the protein before the garnish. Come on, you got that? :'''Roe''': You're not the only one I'm fighting for. :'''Sade''': (interview) Bitch, are you serious? Please! :'''Gordon''': Red team! What did I say at the beginning of service?! :'''Kalen''': Quick service, chef! :'''Gordon''': ''[to the red team]'' Hey! All of you, come here! All of you! One, two, three, four, five. Yeah? And one ticket left in the blue. :'''Red Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': We're just destroying ourselves! So lackadaisical! :'''La Tasha''': (interview) Chef Ramsay said that we're lackadaisical. As soon as I find out what that means, I'm gonna make sure that I'm never that way again! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': In Kalen's mind, her performance was flawless and every dish she cooked was perfect. Unfortunately for her, I live in reality. Dream on, Kalen. === Episode Six [13.06] === :'''Sterling''': (interview) Old McDonald had...

No. :'''Gordon''': And that's the scallop for the V.I.P. guests. ''[to Katie and Roe]'' You and you, fuck off! GET OUT! '''GET OUT!''' ''[Roe throws her towel in anger]'' :'''Jennifer''': (interview) Raw garlic, raw scallops. :'''Gordon''': ''[to La Tasha]'' One scallop. ''[to Sade]'' You, one scallops! :'''Sade''': Yes, chef. :'''Jennifer''': (interview) You both fucking definitely deserve to get the fuck out of the kitchen! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': ''[checks scallops brought by Ashley]'' This is the chef's table. :'''Andi''': Yeah. :'''Gordon''': What are they doing, Andi? :'''Jennifer''': Keep talking, ladies! Come on, where are you guys at?! :'''Gordon''': ''[returns to workstation]'' Hey, hey, hey. Come here. I'm not gonna embarrass myself for the third time in front of that table. Look at them, look.

''[whispers in Ashley's ear]'' Fuck off. Get out. '''GET OUT!!''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Gentlemen, line up, please. Quickly. I was ready for a successful, smooth service tonight. It was about as smooth as the fucking wrinkles on my forehead. Embarrassing. I can't see the talent I thought I had. I'm actually worried because I don't even think I've got a winner on the heels of tonight's service. There's no winning team. Blue team, red team... think of two individuals that you wanna lose from your team. I wouldn't base it just on tonight's service. Time to clean the house. Get out of here. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During elimination]'' :'''Gordon''': Red team, have you reached a decision? :'''Roe''': No, chef, we have not. :'''Gordon''': No?! Are you kidding me? :'''Roe''': I wish I was, chef. :'''Gordon''': Oh, come on, Roe. What ''have'' you got? :'''Roe''': We have a split decision on two pairs, three and three, chef. :'''Gordon''': A split decision on two pairs? :'''Roe''': Yes, chef. Not the assignment, chef. :'''Gordon''': So, it's four of you? :'''Sade''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Oh, what the fuck? I mean, this is so insane. ''[facepalms]'' This is so insane! I can't do this! All of you, fuck off in the red kitchen, and come back with two names! :''[Later, the red team returns after quickly deliberating their nominees]'' :'''Gordon''': Red team, have you reached a decision?! :'''Red Team''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': La Tasha! :'''La Tasha''': Our first nominee is Katie. :'''Gordon''': Why?! :'''La Tasha''': Because she's not starting strong and finishing strong throughout service. :'''Gordon''': Second nominee and why?! :'''La Tasha''': Roe. ''[pause]'' Roe started really strong for us, chef, but it's been mistake after mistake, and we don't see any growth. :'''Gordon''': Blue team, have ''you'' made a decision?! :'''Blue Team''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Thank ''God'' for that! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Steve, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? :'''Steve''': I had a really bad night, chef, but I have proof that I do know how to cook. I take this competition serious, and my goal is to work for you, chef. I will not be back on this chopping block. :'''Gordon''': Sterling. :'''Sterling''': I don't talk about what I can do, I go out and do it! ''[to Steve]'' How many times have you sent ''anything'' back these last few services of mine?! And how many he done sent of yours?! :'''Steve''': Dude, I fucked up one halibut tonight. :'''Sterling''': No, you fuck up a lot! ''[Frank nods in agreement]'' :'''Gordon''': Unbelievable! The performances from both kitchens tonight were dreadful. The person leaving hell's Kitchen... Katie, give me your jacket. ''[walks up to Gordon with her jacket]'' You can cook, young lady, but you are not ready to be a leader. :'''Katie''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Good night. :'''Katie''': Good night. (interview) I most definitely could've handled Chef Ramsay. It was just the girls that I couldn't handle. Maybe I should have taken a chance at getting my eyes scratched out. I let strong personalities overcome me... and it sucks. :'''Gordon''': I'm not done yet. I'm not gonna tolerate it. And I am ''not'' gonna continue banging my head against the wall. Take off your jacket... :'''TO BE CONTINUED''' === Episode Seven [13.07] === :''[Continuing from last episode]'' :'''Gordon''': I am not gonna continue banging my head against the wall. Roe... back in line. ''[long pause]'' Sterling... take off your jacket. Your team have given up on you, I haven't. You're in the red team. :'''Sterling''': Thank you, man. ''[hugs Gordon before joining the ladies]'' What's up, red team! I'm home! ''[high fives La Tasha and Jennifer]'' :'''Jennifer''': (interview) We are ''so'' screwed right now. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Marino returns to the pass with calamari from the Italian consulate table]'' :'''Marino''': The Italian consulate, they told me the calamari are raw and got no flavor. :'''Gordon''': Raw calamari, fucking hell. Unbelievable. ''[to red team]'' ALL OF YOU, STOP! ALL OF YOU! Have I got news for you, raw fucking calamari. Touch them, raw. Yeah, raw. :'''La Tasha''': (interview) Ashley, what is happening? Undercooked? Seriously?! :'''Gordon''': That's from the Italian Consulate table. WHAT IS GOING ON?! WHAT IN THE '''FUCK''' IS GOING ON?! ''[to Sterling]'' Any ideas now? All of you, get out! Just leave me alone! Get out! Get fucking out! :'''Sade''': (interview) Again? Fuck me! :'''Gordon''': '''GET OUT!! PATHETIC!''' :'''Sterling''': (interview) From what I've seen so far, the red team is kind of a let down for me, it's just ridiculous. :'''Jennifer''': Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! :'''Gordon''': Last ticket! Come on guys, MOVE! :'''Fernando''': Alright, garnish is walking! :'''Frank''': Okay. :'''Fernando''': You coming with steaks? :'''Frank''': Behind you. ''[brings his steaks to the pass]'' :'''Gordon''': Here we go, story of the night. Tagliatelle? ''[to Aaron]'' Give me a fucking time, you. :'''Aaron''': Thirty seconds, chef. :'''Gordon''': Thirty seconds. :'''Santos''': (interview) I don't here any more yelling over there in the Red team, which means the girls just got kicked out, so we have to close this service down. :'''Aaron''': Behind, two tag. ''[brings his tagliatelle to the pass]'' :'''Gordon''': Oh, my God. Man. That is extraordinary. Happy now? :'''Steve''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': ''[to Steve]'' Yeah, fuck it. You start slow, he (Frank) sends raw food. Clear down. :'''Aaron''': Yes, chef. === Episode Eight [13.08] === :'''Gordon''': Whose is this dish, here? :'''Sterling''': ''[raises hand]'' It's my dish. :'''Narrator''': From the red team, Sterling has served panko-breaded crab cakes with frisée salad. :'''Sterling''': The key ingredient I used was love. :'''Fraser''': What does love taste like? :'''Sterling''': You're tasting it now. :'''Aaron''': (interview) Guess what? Love's not a fucking ingredient, asshole! No way they picked Sterling's dish. If I had to describe Sterling's crab cake in one word, it'd be fast food. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': On order, and obviously not away, two risotto, two scallops. :'''Blue team''': Heard chef! :'''Fernando''': Scallops are not going to be a problem today. :'''Narrator''': Fernando on the fish station... :'''Gordon''': Why are you seasoning the scallops? :'''Fernando''': I'm sorry, chef? :'''Narrator''': ...has jumped the gun. :'''Gordon''': You fucking heard me! Why are you seasoning scallops? ''[Fernando doesn't answer]'' What a fucking idiot! :'''Narrator''': And Chef Ramsay has something to say about that. :'''Gordon''': All of you, come here. :'''Fernando''': (interview) Oh, fuck! Here we go. :'''Gordon''': I'm going to call out the orders and after the first show, we're going to start cooking. You're seasoning the scallops. Why? :'''Fernando''': I forgot about that. :'''Gordon''': You forgot? We haven't even started and you just forgot, just like that. Hey Blue team, fucking wake up will you? :'''Fernando''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Listen! :'''Fernando''': I will chef. Fuck! :'''Gordon''': I just, I don't fucking get it! :'''Narrator''': While Fernando... :'''Gordon''': Fucking Muppet! :'''Narrator''': Begins dinner service already in the doghouse... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Frank, Sterling, step forward. ''[to Sterling]'' Sterling, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? :'''Sterling''': I know I'm strong! I'm built for this! :'''Gordon''': Why are you stronger than Frank? :'''Sterling''': Me and my personality shows through it all, every bone, every breath in my body. I'm here to fight. :'''Gordon''': Frank, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? :'''Frank''': I'm the strongest I've ever been since I came here and stood by you. Um... I have the passion and the drive, everything that you want and need...I executed everything that you asked me to do. I'm going to win this. I ''will'' win this. I–I'm going to be next to you in the end... I have the passion and drive to do it. I mean, to just keep on repeating those words, it's not that they mean nothing to me... It's more than you know! You literally gave me a second chance, a third chance— :'''Gordon''': Stop. My decision is... both of you. ''[Sterling and Frank are about to walk to Gordon with their jackets]'' Take your jackets... and yourselves back in line! Now. For the first time since you all entered Hell's Kitchen, truthfully I'm satisfied with the performance I got from both teams. And that is why I decided not to send somebody home. ''[Sterling and Frank hug it out]'' But... all of you, the bar is much higher. Because I know ''now'' that you can do it. You got it, Sterling? :'''Sterling''': I need to change my underwear. :''[Gordon stifles a laugh]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Gordon''': Tonight, I finally got a respectable service. So I gave them a little respect and didn't send anyone home. === Episode Nine [13.09] === :''[Steve heads back to the dorms after straining his knee during the blue team's punishment; Gordon goes upstairs to check up on him after learning of his absence in the kitchen]'' :'''Gordon''': Steve. :'''Steve''': Chef Ramsay. :'''Gordon''': Wow. This is a bit of a shock. That doesn't look good. What happened, bud? :'''Steve''': Um, my knee...won't straighten out. :'''Gordon''': Damn. :'''Steve''': All around here is all swollen...''[fights tears]'' and shooting pain. :'''Gordon''': Uh, this is bad news. I'm sorry. ''[pause]'' And I think you know what this means. :'''Steve''': (interview; buries face in his hands) :'''Gordon''': The competition's going to get tougher, there's a lot of running around to do, more challenges. ''[Steve sighs]'' You cannot do it on one leg, and I am ''not'' comfortable with you even attempting. You should not be standing on this. :'''Steve''': (interview) I'm pissed. I have to leave because of my fucking leg. It's heartbreaking to hear Chef Ramsay say I can't go any further. :'''Gordon''': It's tough, but you know what? :'''Steve''': What? :'''Gordon''': You've been strong in that blue kitchen. I want you to walk out of here with your head up high...and just remember what you've done, what you've achieved. Okay? :'''Steve''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Who knows? I may see you again. :'''Steve''': I hope so. (interview) I'm not gonna let this break me. I'm gonna get my knee fixed so I can get better and get back in the kitchen. Chef Ramsay definitely hasn't seen the last of me or heard the last of me yet. :'''Gordon''': ''[shakes Steve's hand before leaving]'' Bye, Steve. :'''Steve''': Bye, chef. ''[sighs]'' Fuck. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Frank''': Walking with the two lobster. :'''Roe''': Hot, coming up, chef. :'''Frank''': Here you go, chef. :'''Gordon''': Lobster! ''[to Frank]'' Are those scallops in the pan yet? :'''Frank''': Coming right now! :''[Jennifer sees pan of raw scallops]'' :'''Jennifer''': (interview) Frank, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! :'''Frank''': Thirty seconds! :'''Gordon''': Come on, Frank! :'''La Tasha''': Get it out! Go, Frank! Go!! :'''Frank''': Scallops walking! Sorry about that, chef. :'''Gordon''': ''[flips over scallops]'' What has he done to them? Hey, red team! Come here, all of you! Just touch them. So heavily cooked one side and rubber as fuck on the other underneath! COME ON! GET IN TWO MORE PORTIONS! Someone needs to ''eat'' this, not play fucking tennis with it! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gordon and Sous Chef Andi look at the lobster brought by Frank]'' :'''Andi''': Overcooked. :'''Gordon''': Hey, red team, come here! Come here, come here! Steven Tyler's sat on the chef's table. What in the fuck–Just touch that! Yeah, it's fucking rubber! ''More'' overcooked than the scallops! What are you doing?! LOOK AT IT! :'''Frank''': Yes, chef! I'm sorry! I apologize. :'''Gordon''': Did you leave your brain in Vegas?! Fuck off, will you! ''[to red team]'' Hey, hey! All of you, come here! :''[Gordon leads the whole red team into the pantry]'' :'''Frank''': Girls, it's my fault. I'm sorry. :'''Gordon''': ''[to Frank]'' Hey, get in there! :'''Frank''': Fuck. :'''Gordon''': This is what happens after a trip to Vegas? This is the payback? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! :'''Frank''': I don't know, chef. I don't know why– :'''Gordon''': IT'S OVERCOOKED!! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?! :'''Frank''': Right away. Coming right back, chef. :'''La Tasha''': Bounce back, Frank. We need you! Come on. Get your head in the fucking game, man! Let's go! (interview) Come on, man. You're sinking us! :'''Roe''': Do I have tails for two risotto?! :'''Frank''': Tails walking to the window! :'''Roe''': Walking risotto! :'''Gordon''': Where's the lobster? :'''Frank''': Right here, chef. :'''Roe''': I'm gonna need those scallops, Frankie! :'''Frank''': Wait, the scallops? :'''Jennifer''': (interview) Oh God. Here we go ''again!'' :'''Gordon''': He's standing there! He doesn't know if he's shit, shaving, or shampooing! :'''La Tasha''': ''[to Frank]'' Let me do your scallop! (interview) I cannot believe this is happening! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andi''': ''[to Frank]'' You owe me a salmon because you fucking suck at fish station tonight! :'''Frank''': I know, sorry chef. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Oh, dear. Interesting night. I mean, different night. Because while one kitchen continued to excel, the other took a step backwards. Congratulations, blue team. Great service! ''[To elaborate: Gordon never returned any of the blue team's food in this service, for any reason]'' :'''Blue Team''': Thank you, chef. :'''Gordon''': Red team! The blue team finished seven tickets in front of you! Frank, what happened? :'''Frank''': I didn't accept help, because I wanted to tell--literally show what I got, to try to get back into it. I just kept on trying to fight back and fight back, and I just--I fucked up my team and I didn't mean to do that. I feel like a piece of shit, and I apologize to everyone here, including yourself and the customers, and Steven Tyler. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Gordon has asked the red team to nominate two people for elimination, except...]'' :'''Gordon''': ''[to himself]'' ...I can't do that. ''[to both teams]'' Wait! Blue team, red team! Come back! Hurry up! Red team! :'''La Tasha''': (interview) Oh man. What's happening? :'''Gordon''': Line up. :'''Sade''': (interview) Whoa! What is going on? :'''Gordon''': Uh, here's the thing. Sometimes, things happen in Hell's Kitchen, and we have to adapt. Steve left tonight because of injury, so we already lost a chef. And do you know what? Sometimes when this happens, I choose not to send anybody home. But that won't be the case tonight. :''[Frank gives a disheartened look]'' :'''Gordon''': Sterling. :'''Sterling''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Roe. :'''Roe''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Jennifer. :'''Jennifer''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': La Tasha. :'''La Tasha''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': ''[beat]'' Say goodbye to Frank. Your time has come. :'''Sterling''': ''[gives Frank a hug]'' Keep your head up, man. I love you, man. :'''Frank''': I'm very, very, very sorry about tonight. :'''Gordon''': Young man. ''[holds up a letter of gratitude that Frank wrote earlier]'' I '''really''' appreciate what you wrote to me. Unfortunately tonight, Frank... :'''Frank''': I can't believe it. :'''Gordon''': ...I didn't appreciate your cooking. Give me your jacket. Your time is done in Hell's Kitchen. ''[Frank gives Gordon his jacket]'' Thank you. ''[gives Frank a goodbye handshake]'' Good night. :'''Frank''': Thank you. :'''Gordon''': Good luck. :'''Frank''': Thank you very much. :'''Red and Blue Teams''': Bye, Frank. :'''Sterling''': Love you, man. :'''Frank''': ''[walking through the dining room, towards the front door]'' It's not my time. I can't believe I did this. ''[outside the restaurant]'' I feel sick to my stomach. The saddest part is that I didn't get to show Chef Ramsay I'm so much better than this, and that's what's really ripping me apart. But I still will always have the passion to do what I'm doing, and I still will succeed in life doing what I do. :'''Gordon''': Elimination–trust me–can happen at any time, as was the case tonight. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Frank wrote me a letter with gratitude and then, with his performance tonight, he wrote his ticket out of here. Ciao, Frank. === Episode Ten [13.10] === :'''Fernando''': ''[to Gordon]'' Risotto, behind you! :'''Gordon''': ''[after touching the risotto and cutting into the lobster]'' Blue team! :'''Blue Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': COME HERE! Just touch that! Touch it! :'''Fernando''': Oh my God. That's from the fridge, man! :'''Gordon''': Hey, hey, team! ''Touch '''it!''''' :'''Santos''': Fucking cold. (interview) What the fuck is going on?! Aaron, how do you send a cold lobster? :'''Fernando''': Come on, Aaron. :'''Aaron''': You can't throw... :'''Gordon''': Scallops are undercooked. :'''Aaron''': ...fucking lobster tail in! :'''Gordon''': Lobster's stone cold! :'''Aaron''': ''Fuck!'' :'''Fernando''': Come on, man! Just tell us what you need! How–how long? :'''Bryant''': ''[to Aaron]'' Put it on the burner, bro. :'''Aaron''': No, I don't have to, dude! You don't throw cold lobster tail in! (interview) Every time Bryant touches something on my station, it's ''fucked!'' :'''Bryant''': I didn't touch your lobster tail. Take ownership! I didn't–I put it in right here in your butter. (interview) Aaron can't cook to save his life! ''[to Aaron]'' Calm the fuck down, dude. (interview) That's how you wanna be a team? Alright, man. Fuck you! I'm not doing none of your shit now! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Andi''': Sterling, by yourself, you're doing two more capellini with two risotto, right? :'''Sterling''': Yes, chef! (interview) I got all my pans gettin' hot, so I give myself a little music. Risotto, risotto, capellini, I'm hot! :''[A brief music video for a song called "My Name Is Sterling" begins playing]'' :♫ '''Sterling''': My name is Sterling. ♫ Risotto right now! :♫ '''La Tasha''': Everybody bounce, up! ♫ (interview) Come on, Sterling. :♫ '''Jennifer''': Keep on the risotto, baby. :♫ '''Sterling''': Risotto! ♫ (interview) Hot, hot, hot. :♫ '''Gordon''': Risotto, how long? :♫ '''Sterling''': I'm ready on risotto! ♫ Risotto, risotto, capellini, I'm hot! ♫ :''[The music video ends]'' :'''Sterling''': (interview) Damn! We got this! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Halibut garnish! :'''Sade''': Halibut garnish is coming! ''[to Aaron]'' Let's go! Wellington's in the window! :'''Gordon''': Beautifully cooked. :'''Sade''': Thank you, chef. ''[to blue team]'' Come on, guys! We ''need'' those two halibut! :'''Aaron''': Right now, right now! :'''Sade''': Let's go! (interview) Like, seriously, Aaron? Get your shit together! I am putting up meat that is perfect. :'''Gordon''': ''[sees Aaron running to the pass with halibut]'' Fucking hell. Come back, John, please. ''[separates the halibut and notices they're both raw in the center]'' Hey, blue team! :'''Bryant''': Yes, chef. :'''Aaron''': Fuck! :'''Gordon''': Raw halibut in the middle there...and raw halibut in the middle there. :'''Fernando''': Aaron, you got two more, right? :'''Sade''': ''[to Aaron]'' You got two more? :'''Gordon''': Oh, fucking hell. :'''Aaron''': Move, move! :'''Bryant''': The fuck? (interview) Aaron is just a fucking ''wreck!'' ''[to Aaron]'' You don't even know what you're doing, man! (interview) That bitch can make desserts, but that's it! ''[to Aaron]'' You lost it. (interview) Fuck him! <hr width="50%"/> :''[The blue team walks back to the dorms after being named the losing team]'' :'''Bryant''': (interview) Dinner service was an absolute fucking joke! I'm not going down for it tonight. I'm not. I'm done playing nice. I–I'm seriously done. I am fucking ''done.'' :'''Aaron''': I'll probably be the first to admit that I've probably had the most ups and downs here. (interview) I own my mistakes. I had a bad fucking night! ''[to blue team]'' But I say Bryant. :'''Bryant''': Yo, bro! Fucking heated right now, dude! :'''Aaron''': Yeah? :'''Bryant''': Yeah, you! I don't know why you tonight...I'm talking to you! You listened to her (Sade) more than you listened to garnish! :'''Aaron''': Because she was more organized than you were! :'''Bryant''': You can't listen and cook at the same time! You need a bullhorn at the end of the table here to tug over me to talk to you?! :'''Sade''': Bryant, you're talking to him. Don't bring my name into this. :'''Bryant''': Well, I'm asking him a question!! :'''Aaron''': HEY! :'''Sade''': You need to relax! :'''Bryant''': I'm asking ''him'' a question! :'''Aaron''': '''SHUT THE FUCK UP, WOULD YOU!?''' :'''Bryant''': NO! '''FUCK YOU, DUDE!!''' :'''Aaron''': Dude, calm down! :'''Bryant''': NO, FUCK YOU! :'''Aaron''': You asked a question, you wanted a response! I gave you one! :'''Bryant''': THEN TELL HER TO '''SHUT THE FUCK UP!!''' :'''Aaron''': HOLY ''SHIT!'' Are we all gonna agree, he and I are going on the block tonight, right? :'''Bryant''': Well fuck all of y'all motherfuckers! I'm not going nowhere! ''[to Aaron]'' Yo, you suck, dog. I'm telling you right now, your ass is going, ''[points at Fernando]'' and I'm picking ''you!'' :'''Fernando''': Me? :'''Bryant''': Yeah. :'''Aaron''': Fernando?! :'''Bryant''': From all around, from all up and down! :'''Fernando''': (interview) What?! Fuck you! You know? ''[to Bryant]'' What are–What are my ups and downs? :'''Bryant''': Look, you've already been up twice. :'''Fernando''': No, it was only once. :'''Bryant''': Okay. How about the other night? He couldn't hang in there on fish. :'''Fernando''': Wait, what? :'''Bryant''': No, I'm sorry. Not on fish. You couldn't–It was something. :'''Fernando''': Keep going. Keep going, come on. Keep going! Come on! :'''Bryant''': Well, I'm still voting for you! :'''Fernando''': (interview) Bryant's throwing words. Bryant, you know, your attitude sucks. You will never be able to fucking manage a brigade with that fucking attitude. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The blue team continues debating on who should be nominated for elimination]'' :'''Bryant''': ''[to Sade]'' We can't judge you at all. There's no way. :'''Sade''': I mean, I've been here for three services, so judge how you want. :'''Bryant''': That doesn't show anything though. :'''Sade''': Okay, so then what are you saying? :'''Bryant''': I don't know how to judge you right now. :'''Sade''': Well, then you gotta find a way, honey. Because... :'''Bryant''': Don't call me honey. I'm not your honey! Let's get that straight from the get-go. ''[Sade laughs]'' Or sweetie or any of these other fucking pet names! :'''Sade''': (interview) Listen. I'm from Philadelphia. All that rowdy cursing, I deal with that on a daily basis. So seriously, Bryant. Simmer down, sweetie! :'''Bryant''': Tell me–Tell me about me, then! Tell me about me! :'''Aaron''': You? Where would you like to start? :'''Bryant''': I don't give a fuck, bro. Get it out, man! :'''Aaron''': You sent up raw scallops for me tonight! :'''Bryant''': Really?! You fucking couldn't justify to me showing that you're a weak-ass man! :'''Aaron''': Well, I owned my shit tonight. I didn't even ask for help. :'''Bryant''': You don't own shit! "Oh, it's mine, chef! I did the scallops!" Man, fuck that! I did the shit! I was gonna tell him! :''[Flashback to dinner service, where Aaron took responsibility for the raw scallops as Bryant was telling Gordon about his mistake]'' :'''Aaron''': But you certainly didn't go, "I cooked them." :'''Bryant''': 'Cause I was like, "Uh...!" And you were like, "Bluh-bluh-bluh!" Shut the fuck up! You wanna talk?! :'''Aaron''': You should've jumped on it! :'''Bryant''': Motherfucker, how could I?! Chef was like, "Argh!" :'''Aaron''': (interview) Bryant thinks that he's fighting to stay here, but I think he's staying to fight. ''[to Bryant]'' If you wanna go cap somebody, that'd be fine. :'''Bryant''': I'm not fucking capping no one! I'm fucking talking to you like a grown-ass man! :'''Aaron''': No, you're not. :'''Bryant''': Like you need to talk to me! Yeah, I am! :'''Aaron''': You're standing, we're all sitting here... :'''Bryant''': That's right! I'm not sitting down! :'''Aaron''': ...we're calm. :'''Bryant''': I'm dominant more than you! That's why I'm standing! :'''Aaron''': You're what? :'''Bryant''': More dominant than you. :'''Aaron''': No, you're not. :'''Bryant''': Yes, I am. :'''Aaron''': Not a chance in Hell, buddy. :'''Bryant''': That's what's up, bro. We've set the fucking tone now. Everyone knows how the fuck I roll, man! Y'all can each vote for me–that's fine–but I'm not leaving! :'''Aaron''': No executive chef in their right mind blows their fucking stack like that. :'''Bryant''': Oh yeah? Would they work around some fucking pastry chef that thinks he can cook fish?! Y'all fucking barked up the wrong tree. You don't even know. I've stayed humble and peaceful the whole time, tried to support and encourage every fucking one of you! ''[to Aaron]'' Besides you! <hr width="50%"/> :''[During elimination]'' :'''Gordon''': Santos, based on everything that has happened since the day you stepped into Hell's Kitchen, who is the blue team's first nominee and why? :'''Santos''': The first blue nominee, chef, is... Aaron. :'''Gordon''': Aaron? That's based on everything so far? :'''Santos''': Everything, chef. :'''Gordon''': Explain it to me. Why? :'''Santos''': Basically, he has peaks and valleys right now and you need to be consistent. :'''Gordon''': Second nominee and why? :'''Santos''': Uh, the second nominee, chef... is Bryant. :'''Gordon''': Why? :'''Santos''': He can cook, but tonight's demonstration of blowing up and then, basically, just losing it upstairs. He just totally let everybody and the team down. :'''Gordon''': I don't give a fuck what happens upstairs. I care what happens when you step in to this kitchen to run my restaurant. Let's get that right. :'''Santos''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': Aaron and Bryant, step forward. Bryant, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? :'''Bryant''': Chef, I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because from the beginning I've showed you that I'm a great chef and I feel like I have the strengths of a chef that you're looking for. :'''Gordon''': Can you lead? :'''Bryant''': Yes, chef, I can. :'''Gordon''': Aaron, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? :'''Aaron''': Actually, chef, as much as I'd love to run a restaurant for you, ''[Sade looks surprised]'' I'd love to be a Michelin-star chef and I don't think winning Hell's Kitchen is actually gonna get me any closer to my goal. ''[Roe raises her eyebrows]'' :'''Gordon''': This is unbelievable. ''[Bryant raises his eyebrows]'' :'''Aaron''': It's... it is what it is. ''[Fernando shakes his head]'' I'd like to be master of my craft before I have to teach and lead it. :'''Gordon''': Why have you come to that decision? :'''Aaron''': I've never been pushed this hard to realize that the things I do not know. ''[Sade looks puzzled]'' :'''Gordon''': Wow. :'''Aaron''': For me, ''[Bryant turns his head to Aaron]'' I need more education. I'd like more education. ''[Roe shakes her head]'' :'''Gordon''': I think you would've learned a lot more here ''[Aaron lowers his head]'' and you're not willing to fight for it ''[Aaron shrugs, Sade shrugs, and Roe rolls her eyes]''. Yeah I'm not gonna waste my time with you any longer. Give me your jacket please. :''[Aaron unbuttons his jacket]'' :'''Bryant''': Hey, man ''[handshakes Aaron]''. Good luck. ''[Santos shakes his head]'' :'''Aaron''': ''[handshakes Gordon and surrenders his jacket]'' Thank you for the education, chef. :'''Gordon''': Good luck. :'''Aaron''': Thank you. ''[exits the building]'' :'''Gordon''': Disappointing. :'''Aaron''': (exit interview, voiceover) When I first came to Hell's Kitchen, I wanted the Executive Chef spot, but this is one of the hardest things I had to do in my life, physically, mentally, emotionally... It's ten thousand times more difficult to cook in Hell's Kitchen than it is in any other situation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': I found it quite strange that Aaron didn't even have the will to succeed. He clearly didn't belong in Hell's Kitchen. === Episode Eleven [13.11] === :'''Gordon''': Blue Team, they're (Red Team) plating! :'''Fernando''': Yes, chef! :'''Bryant''': I'm ready to plate, guys! Ready to plate! Come on! :'''Fernando''': (interview) Both kitchens have to deliver at the same time, but everything has to be cooked to perfection. That's it. That's all he wants. ''[to Santos]'' In the middle, okay? Make sure you get in four per pan! :'''Santos''': We're good? :'''Sade''': No! We don't have enough. (interview) We are so screwed right now. It's going to take a very long time to re-fire. :'''Gordon''': Fucking hell. Ran out of fucking risotto. How many portions are we short? ''[to Fernando]'' Hey! Tell me, please! :'''Santos''': Two short. :'''Gordon''': Two short?! ''[throws spoon; to Fernando]'' Hey, you, ''come here!'' You've ran out of risotto. ''[to the rest of the Blue Team]'' Hey. Hey, stop. Stop! We're not serving until we're ''all together!'' :'''Santos''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': They deserve to be served ''at the '''same time!''''' :'''Bryant''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': We are not serving this course until we're '''''all together!''''' :'''Sade''': Come on, Fernando. How long? :'''Fernando''': Give me a minute. :'''Sade''': Alright, hurry up. (interview) Come on, Fernando! You're supposed to be an executive chef. You should know a little bit better than that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Fernando's cooking was adequate, but his leadership was lacking. Being my next head chef requires both. === Episode Twelve [13.12] === :'''Narrator''': While the blue team works on their communication, back in the red kitchen, Sterling is hoping to make a bold statement with his scallops. :'''Sterling''': Scallops to the window! :'''Roe''': (interview) Sterling please get these scallops out! :'''Gordon''': ''[to takes raw scallop out of Sterling's batch]'' Red team! RED TEAM! :'''Red Team''': Yes, chef! :'''Gordon''': Four scallops cooked properly, and one raw. :'''Sterling''': MAN! :'''Gordon''': One raw! Hey, do we need to change stations?! :'''Jennifer''': (interview) That's a good idea. :'''Roe''': (interview) Of course. :'''La Tasha''': (interview) Hell, yeah! :'''Sterling''': ''[to Gordon]'' NO! :'''Gordon''': At this stage, it's driving me MAD! You're not learning from your mistakes! Just stop! I've had enough. All of you, get in there and have a meeting, will you?! :'''La Tasha''': (interview) Come on, Sterling! <hr width="50%"/> :'''La Tasha''': ''[to Sterling as the red team walks into the pantry]'' Sterling, can you do this?! :'''Sterling''': I can do this, man! :'''La Tasha''': Well, what's happening? :'''Jennifer''': Sterling, let me tell you! Do not pull a Frank right now! If you need help... :'''Sterling''': I'm not pulling no Frank! '''I GOT THIS!!''' :'''Jennifer''': ...we can change! :'''Roe''': One more thing comes back, we'll switch. :'''Sterling''': Alright, I'll switch! One more thing, I'll switch! :''[The red team runs back into the kitchen]'' :'''Jennifer''': ''[to Sterling]'' One more, and we're done! :'''Sterling''': And I'll switch! :'''La Tasha''': ''[to Sterling]'' Behind you, eggplant! :'''Jennifer''': (interview) I'm so close to just yanking the fucking scallops, and trying to cook them over on the fucking meat station right now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': It wasn't a bad service, but it wasn't the kind of service I was hoping to get. But there is one thing I am sure about. ''[pause]'' Sterling. Step forward. ''[Sterling walks to Gordon]'' Sterling, you have been a phenomenal, relentless competitor... but I know that you're not ready to be my next head chef. Okay? :'''Sterling''': Yes, chef. :'''Gordon''': You've been a joy to be around, and you've put smiles on all of our faces. And because of that, I want you to keep your jacket. :'''Sterling''': ''[hugs Gordon]'' That's what's up, man. Thank you! :'''Gordon''': And let that be a reminder of what you've achieved in this competition. :'''Sterling''': Thank you so much! :''[La Tasha and Santos smile while Sade and Jennifer try not to cry]'' :'''Gordon''': Listen, continue cooking. :'''Sterling''': I will, chef. :'''Gordon''': You will always be 100 to me. Time to head up to the dorms and pack your bags. :'''Sterling''': Yes, chef. This has been the greatest opportunity of my life, man. Can I hug everybody before I go? :'''Gordon''': Whatever you want. :'''Sterling''': Alright! I'm gonna miss y'all! :''[Sterling goes up to everyone on both teams for a farewell hug]'' :'''Sade''': I'll miss you, too, Sterling. :'''Sterling''': (interview) 100 is no longer part of Hell's Kitchen, but I learned a whole lot. I was all happy-go-lucky at first... ''[to Roe]'' Hey, have a good time, okay? (interview) Some of the other chefs told me I didn't deserve to be here... ''[to Gordon before leaving the kitchen]'' Thank you, chef, for the opportunity! I love you, man! (interview) It made me come back even stronger. I had to make myself better and I did that. And on top of that, I got too many wins in challenges. I'm a leader, and it took me coming all the way to California to realize that. I might not have won Hell's Kitchen, but I got something that nobody in Hell's Kitchen have never accomplished—I got Chef Ramsay's heart! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gordon''': Sterling went further in this competition than I thought he would. And even though he was always at 100, it wasn't enough to earn him a black jacket. === Episode Thirteen [13.13] === :'''Gordon''': Santos dodged a bullet in the last two nominations, but tonight, there was nowhere to hide. === Episode Fourteen [13.14] === :'''Gordon''': Roe thought she would row, row, row herself into the final four, but her performance tonight in the kitchen put her up a creek with no paddles. === Episode Fifteen [13.15] === === Episode Sixteen [13.16] === :'''Frank''': ''[to Bryant]'' Is that too overcooked for you or no? :'''Bryant''': It tastes burnt. Yeah, fix it. :'''Frank''': (interview) I tasted it. I thought it was unbelievable, but do whatever you want. :'''Bryant''': You're about three minutes away. You need to get the fuck out of this kitchen, dude. :'''Frank''': No, Bryant, I will get it for you! :'''Bryant''': I'm fucking serious, Frank! (interview) My menu is supposed to be Frank-proof.

Granted, Ash was rude back then, but still. As of this episode, fans have finally forgave the writers for this serious offence in the original series.]'' :'''Erika''': Welcome to the Celadon Gym. Nice to meet you. My name is Erika, the Gym Leader. :'''Ash, Goh and Chloe''': Hi there, it's a pleasure to see you. :'''Erika''': Thank you. ''[recognizes Ash]'' Oh my, don't I know you? :'''Ash''': ''[a bit nervous]'' That's right, I'm Ash. :'''Erika''': I recognize you now. Hi Ash! ''[cut to flashback where Ash rescued her Gloom from the fire]'' You helped rescue all the Pokémon after the Gym caught fire. I want to thank you again. You did a really wonderful thing! :'''Ash''': Aww... :'''Goh''': Ash, you really did that? ''[It does hint that neither Ash nor Erika were proud of making a bad first impression of each other since they don't mention the issues that caused the Celadon Gym to get caught on fire to Goh or Chloe]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Goh has decided to decorate flowers on Pinsir to make Heracross and Pinsir a happy couple, only to attract the attention of Erika]'' :'''Erika''': A happy couple?! ''[starts to get mad. Don't you remember what you did wrong in the original series when you acted like that?!]'' Could it be you want to use Pokémon flower arranging for romance?! :'''Goh''': ''[getting nervous]'' Uhhh...well, it's just that... ''[in his mind]'' Am I doing this for the wrong reasons?! :''[a brief stare down later]'' :'''Erika''': ''[getting cheerful again...whew]'' I think that's wonderful! A trainer would want to see their Pokémon be happy! I insist that you two allow me to help you out! ==The Good, The Bad and The Lucky!== :''[Note: Since fans were curious as to why Cassidy and Butch were replaced by Matori at the end of the Diamond and Pearl, fans get to know what became of the two]'' :'''Cassidy''': Relax, it's not going anywhere and there's more where that came from. :'''Raticate''': Raticate! [Please, enjoy!] :'''Jessie''': This is scrumpty! :'''James''': It's not everyday that a complete stranger would come and save our lives! ''[suddenly recognizes Cassidy]'' Time out! I've seen you before! :'''Cassidy''': Normally, I wouldn't respond to that but I'll be glad to show you who you are dealing with. <hr width=50%> :''[The Team Rocket learn that the cafe owner is none other than Cassidy!]'' :'''The Gang''': Cassidy?! :'''Jessie''': What are you doing in a place like this?! :'''James''': I venture in a guess that you are on some super secret Team Rocket mission! Am I right? :'''Cassidy''': Missed it by a mile. I quit. ''[The gang are confused]'' :'''Jessie''': My leg's been pulled by a mile quite enough. :'''Cassidy''': Team Rocket was part of my life but it wasn't all. :'''James''': Things besides Team Rocket? :'''Meowth''': Just what do you mean? :'''Cassidy''': It's true we were elite members, miles above you, but all those failed mission reports- awful! The grind had simply worn us down. <hr width=50%> :''[A familiar face and voice steps out of the bakery. It's Butch who also quit Team Rocket!]'' :'''Butch''': ''[excited]'' We have customers?

The name is BUTCH! <hr width=50%> :''[Butch was about to mention why he quit Team Rocket with Cassidy but Jessie interrupts the story]'' :'''Jessie''': Don't say another word. All those lousy, loser reports and the grind had simply worn you down, right? :'''Butch''': ''[a bit annoyed]'' Look, it's my story to tell so let me talk. :'''Meowth''': Cassidy gave us the lowdown. :'''Butch''': Huh? You already met with her? :'''Jessie''': Butch, we like to pay for that yummy food you gave us by working for it. :'''Butch''': THE NAME IS BOTCH!

Spikemuth Gym. I'm the Gym Leader here, a real genius with Dark types. Mournful Piers is what the fans call me! Now meet the band! On backing vocals, Obstagoon!

Marnie should be waiting for you over at Wyndon Stadium. <hr width=50%> :''[A weary Piers sighs in annoyance, hinting that Team Yell has a bad habit of sabotaging Marnie's opponents. Good thing Piers is a Team leader that is not a villain.]'' :'''Piers''': They're part of our crew. Sorry if they messed you up. :'''Ash''': So, how do you know about Marnie? :'''Piers''': She's my little sister. <hr width=50%> :'''Marnie''': No, I can't do that!

I'm gonna wait. <hr width=50%> :''[Marnie learns that her fanclub, Team Yell, attempted sabotage from Ash]'' :'''Marnie''': ''[to Team Yell]'' SHUT YOUR BIG YAPS! ''[to Ash]'' Hey, did that lot really lie to you? :'''Ash''': Uh-huh. They said the match was somewhere else. Thankfully, Piers drove me here, himself. :'''Marnie''': My bro did that? :'''Team Yell grunt''': We really wanted you to win, Marnie! You win and it'll help Spikemuth out, don't you see that? :'''Marnie''': Not if I win that way! ''[The Team Yell grunts all freak out.

[[Ronald Dworkin]] is classified into "other" group, but he also can be classified into a "liberal". [[Raymond Aron]] is classified into "liberal" group. However, some refered him as a "conservative". [[Averroes]] is classified as a "classic", then why not [[Augustine]] classified as a "classic"?

See his book ''Proposed Roads to Freedom'' (1918), for example. :::Dworkin was one of few names on the list I wasn't familiar with or had read, so I put him in the Other section, but if you say he's a liberal he can be added there. Thanks. :::Aron was a classical liberal, clearly. I am well-read within the conservative tradition and he is never cited by anyone there. :::Augustine is known as a religious thinker, who lived at the very end of antiquity. With "classic philosophers" one does not mean Christian thinkers, but pagan thinkers like Aristotle and Cicero. :::Erasmus lived prior to the existence of liberalism/conservatism/socialism, all of which emerged in the 18th century. He was not a purely religious thinker, either, as he was heavily influenced by antiquity and he was as much of a critic of religion as an exponent. :::Paine is a bit trickier, but I think it's safe to say he was more of a socialist than a liberal, given his revolutionism, his populism and his Georgism. He is cited by few modern classical liberals. :::Stirner was the liberal individualist ''par excellence''. Nietzsche, by contrast, was in many ways illiberal, as he believed society ought to be ruled by a harsh aristocracy. Or as [[H. L. Mencken]] put it: "There is a considerable gulf between Stirner and Nietzsche, even here. The former's plea is for absolute liberty for all men, great and small. The latter is for liberty only in the higher castes: the ''chandala'' he would keep in chains." :::To summarize, there are solid reasons for why the philosophers are put in their respective categories. Still, there may be one or two that ought to be changed. I will put Dworkin in the liberal section. If you have any other suggestions I will take it in consideration.

We were now much less democrats than I had been, because so long as education continues to be so wretchedly imperfect, we dreaded the ignorance and especially the selfishness and brutality of the mass: but our ideal of ultimate improvement went far beyond Democracy, and would class us decidedly under the general designation of Socialists." (in his ''Autobiography'') ::::[[Max Stirner]] remarked, "The liberals are zealots, not exactly for the faith, for God, but certainly for reason, their master. They brook no lack of breeding, and therefore no self-development and self-determination; they play the guardian as effectively as the most absolute rulers."(in his "Political Liberalism" (1844)) Therefore, is [[Max Stirner]] an anti-liberal? ::::[[John Stuart Mill]] can be classified as a "liberal". [[Max Stirner]] can be classified as a "liberal". But, my point is not whether they are liberal or not. My point is that "Classic/Conservative/Liberal/Religious/Socialist/Other" classification itself can be problematic and arbitrary. There can be claims, such as "Why not the "[[w:feminism|feminist]]" tradition? Then, [[Mary Wollstonecraft]] and [[Christine de Pizan]] can be same category.", or "Why not the "[[w:republicanism|republican]]" tradition? Then, Jefferson, Rousseau, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, and Madison can be classified as a single category." etc., etc., etc. Chronological orgnization is less arbirary than orgaization of names into traiditions. --[[User:Y-S.Ko|Y-S.Ko]] ([[User talk:Y-S.Ko|talk]]) 19:56, 5 July 2022 (UTC) :::::@[[User:Y-S.Ko|Y-S.Ko]] Political philosophy since the French Revolution has revolved around three distinct ideologies, namely Conservatism, Liberalism and Socialism. This is a fact. And this is why political philosophers are easy to categorize. :::::There are two additional ideologies, fairly big: Feminism (as you mentioned) and Anarchism (where Stirner belongs). But in most cases, feminists and anarchists fall under Socialism (de Beauvoir, Kropotkin etc.) as the overarching ideology. Stirner is an oddball in the Anarchist tradition: he denies the social dimension of the ideology, which is why few influential anarchists admired him. He is known for espousing liberal ideas, really. His ideology—Individualist anarchism—is closer to Liberalism than Socialism. The main proponent of Individualist anarchism, [[Benjamin Tucker]], said for example: "Capitalism is at least tolerable, which cannot be said of Socialism or Communism." :::::As long as there are solid sources that categorize the named philosophers into these respective traditions, everything is fine. Mill may have called himself a Socialist, but this was before the terminology was well developed. In reality he was an exponent of what is today known as Social liberalism. All sources indicate this.

On the one hand they could scrap the ether theory which had explained so many things about electricity, magnetism, and light.

To many physicists it seemed almost easier to believe that the earth stood still than that waves – light waves, electromagnetic waves – could exist without a medium to sustain them. It was a serious dilemma and one that split scientific thought for a quarter century. Many new hypotheses were advanced and rejected.

I though this was a cheerleading documentary! :'''Zeb Wells''': Why is Joss Whedon a zombie?! :'''Seth Green''': Punishment! We told him about this place over drinks, and next thing we knew, Cabin in the Woods was in theaters nationwide! :'''Matt Senreich''': People weren't necessarily in those theaters... :'''Seth Green''': Regardless, we made him a zombie. :''[In the woods, Zombie Joss Whedon is chasing the teens.

Following the start of the [[w:Second Chechen War|Second Chechen War]] in August 1999, he returned to leading the guerrilla resistance against the Russian army, with Ichkeria ceasing to exist at the beginning of 2000.

We are as wretched, bloody and enslaved as you are rich, mighty and free. *You will soon gather in Genoa amidst the splendor and ceremony that befits your place in the front rank of nations. Guards of honour will salute you, you will meet in palaces and the world will listen to your every word. But I write you from a killing ground putrid with slaughter and like my brethren I remain a hunted man in my own country. I too won the privilege and responsibility of leading my nation from the ballot box, but Moscow calls me a bandit, a terrorist and a criminal. *Beyond the confines of my tiny country, my words seem to count for little, just as the anguished cry of my people still astonishingly leaves you mute and deaf. So I will continue to write until the silence is pierced. *You will join in your summit to consider debt relief for the impoverished developing world. This is a laudable aim, and it is the hope no doubt of countless millions that humanitarian concern motivates the strong to seek an end to indentured misery for the weak. But if you acknowledge the quiet violence of poverty upon the destitute and the hungry why do you turn away from us? We who die in the flames of the Kremlin’s dirty war, are we less worthy of compassion? What has made us invisible to you? I fear I know the answer. I fear the cold exigencies of realpolitik ensure your inaction and seal our fate. Lest you damage an uncertain relationship with a fragile and volatile new Russia, you are willing to overlook the annihilation of my people. In your eyes, for the sake of larger interests we are an expendable nation. *Out of a population that once numbered a million, one in seven Chechens is now dead. 250,000 of our civilians are refugees. Bereft of the most basic necessities, many are ravaged by disease and malnutrition, especially the elderly and the young. More than 20,000 civilians and resistance members endure imprisonment in the new Gulags, the so-called filtration camps. Held in dehumanizingly foul and primitive conditions with little or no medical care that far exceed the worst standards of the Russian penal system, life in the improvised camps sees the sadistic and systematic use of torture. Burning with cigarettes, crippling beatings, suffocation, drowning in human excrement, mutilation with knives, high voltage electric shock and sexual abuses are only some of the common practices. Many prisoners are ultimately killed. Surely for some this must be a welcome deliverance from hell. *In 1945 you defeated the evils of militarism, fascism and Nazism. Those nations among you that had given birth to the monstrous juggernaut and holocaust of world war, vowed never to repeat the same fatal errors and forged yourselves in a new spirit to stand proudly among the elder democracies. *The savagery we must bear is not new. We remember Stalin’s salt mines, his guard towers, barbed wire and unmarked graves. The pain of exodus and genocide we have known before. So we recognise the others with whom we share a terrible kinship of horror. The skeletal Jews and Romani in the ovens of Dachau and Auschwitz. The bayonet fodder of Nanjing. The ancient, wide-eyed children of Biafra. The pleading mother and baby facing the rifles at My Lai. The marsh Arabs of Iraq choked by the clouds of mustard gas. The Tutsi of Rwanda butchered on the Kigali road by the knives of the Interahamwe. They are all our martyred brothers and sisters in the legacy of senseless murder. Only our slaughter, our death is not yesterday’s, it belongs in the living nightmare of the present. How many Chechens will have died in the time you take to read this letter? * If you continue to stand idly by while my people vanish in a bloodbath, if you fail to act with conviction and resolve as you did in Rwanda, Chechen ghosts will stain your honour as surely as they do Russia’s. May God grant you the wisdom and vision to serve the cause of peace and justice. ==Quotes about Mashkhadov== *These are not people with whom we can hold talks. Maskhadov does not control the situation and, more importantly, he’s a terrorist. No country in the world is willing to deal with terrorists. **[[Dmitry Peskov]], Kremlin spokesperson, [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2005/2/7/chechen-rebel-seeks-peace-talks "Chechen rebel seeks peace talks" in ''Al Jazeera''] (7 February 2005) *As a politician, he was extremely weak, extremely distrustful, very dependent on the intrigues of people surrounding him. **[[w:Akhmed Zakayev|Akhmed Zakayev]], foreign minister of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, [https://www.rferl.org/a/1057883.html "Chechnya: Was Maskhadov a Terrorist or a Legitimate Leader?" in ''RFE/RL''] (9 March 2005) *Like most Chechens of his generation, Maskhadov was born in exile in Kazakhstan, where Chechens had been deported en masse in 1944 under Soviet dictator [[Joseph Stalin]].

Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again!

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight.

Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great! ''[sees Shrek hanging from a noose, and to Shrek's disappointment, the noose snaps]'' ===Panthropologie [7.09]=== :''[Caption: LEGO City, 2014]'' :'''Wife''': Honey, look out!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo. I'll protect you. :'''Assistant''': Don't worry, girl from the Wendy's commercials. :'''General''': Don't worry, GEICO gecko. :''[Cut to the map]'' :'''Gerry''': ''[narrating]'' They covered the whole globe in no time: Mega Bloks, Kre-O, Best-Lock, CoCo, BanBao, Rokenbok, Super Blocks, and Leggo with two g's, which was especially insulting. :''[Caption: Lego Headquarters, Denmark]'' :''[Zombies groaning]'' :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' LEGO my baby, LEGO my honey, LEGO my ragtime gal... :'''Son''': Daddy, are we safe? :'''Gerry''': Of course we are, son.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah! ''[turns into a Playmobil figure]'' We look like them now! :'''Gerry''': I'd rather die. :'''Son''': ''[notices something]'' What?! They have Transformers? :'''Gerry''': No, son! No! :'''Son''': Aah!

Oh, that was just a kid from my wife's first marriage. But that looked really painful. Hit me with the juice! ''[gets injected]'' Ugh! ''[the serum transforms him into...]'' No! You turned me into a ''[bleep]''ing DUPLO! It's the same company as LEGO, you fool! Aah! Aah!

Tiger (now wearing a cap with the DiC logo on it) hits a beautful shot as Heathcliff, Cleo, and a couple of other toons watch. LongArm uses his gauntlet to sink a putt, as Tiger chats up Princess Lana and receives a slap to the face from her. As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown? I'm Hammerman! I'm M.C. Hammer, except not, and I have magic shoes. ''[shows off his magic dancing shoes]'' :'''Tiger''': ''[looks at Cleo]'' You know, I don't even know if I want to save you DiC's. You're just uninspired rehashes of good ideas. Seriously, how cheap is DiC? This is a movie, and you all look like you were drawn on a napkin. :'''Cleo''': Win the game and I'll blow you. :''[Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately sinks the putt and wins the game. As the DiC toons celebrate, Tiger unzips his pants and takes a terrified Cleo by the hand into the Pancake House for his well-earned blowjob]'' :'''Hammerman''': ''[rapping]'' Everybody tee off, get a club in your hands, charisma-free sex addict saving DiC Land!

Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight.

Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight.

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive!

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown?

This is a safe creative place. Dr. Mindbender, go. :'''Dr. Mindbender''': Well, I thought our PSA could communicate an idea non-verbally.

I'm sorry, safe place, but holy shit, that was fucking dumb. Next! :'''Baroness''': ''[enters the room]'' Oh, I forgot you guys were in here writing.

That depends on whether I give a ''[bleep]'', ''[bleep]'' tits! ''[make a fanfare noise]'' Bitch Pudding! BLAM!

''[Title Card: Wooper]'' The only wule is never let your target escape, even if your target is you. :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': ''[appears in the field]'' What are you waiting for? Shoot me! :'''Elmer Fudd''': What?! :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': In the future, they don't let me have a gun! That was my one dimension as a character! Know what I did yesterday? I slept for 15 hours and then beat it to a Weader's Digest! Help me! :'''Elmer Fudd''': I can't. :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': Come on, give it to me. ''[crying]'' Pleeeease.

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

I'm not a soldier! :'''General''': Gerry, we need a lawyer. :''[Title Card: WORLD WAR B (as in blocks)]'' :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': Put simply, Gerry, we're being invaded by imitation blocks. :'''Assistant''': Off-brand products with a taste for LEGO blood! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': They're nearly identical but different. Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo. I'll protect you. :'''Assistant''': Don't worry, girl from the Wendy's commercials. :'''General''': Don't worry, GEICO gecko. :''[Cut to the map]'' :'''Gerry''': ''[narrating]'' They covered the whole globe in no time: Mega Bloks, Kre-O, Best-Lock, CoCo, BanBao, Rokenbok, Super Blocks, and Leggo with two g's, which was especially insulting. :''[Caption: Lego Headquarters, Denmark]'' :''[Zombies groaning]'' :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' LEGO my baby, LEGO my honey, LEGO my ragtime gal... :'''Son''': Daddy, are we safe? :'''Gerry''': Of course we are, son.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah! ''[turns into a Playmobil figure]'' We look like them now! :'''Gerry''': I'd rather die. :'''Son''': ''[notices something]'' What?! They have Transformers? :'''Gerry''': No, son! No! :'''Son''': Aah!

Oh, that was just a kid from my wife's first marriage. But that looked really painful. Hit me with the juice! ''[gets injected]'' Ugh! ''[the serum transforms him into...]'' No! You turned me into a ''[bleep]''ing DUPLO! It's the same company as LEGO, you fool! Aah! Aah!

Let's re-shoot it. :''[Zombies murmuring]'' ===Catdog on a Stick [7.10]=== :'''Executive''': You sure you wanna do a movie, Tiger? :'''Tiger''': I want to be beloved again, like before I had sex with all those waitresses from IHOP. Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

I'm more romantic and have an accent. This is Cleo. :'''Cleo''': We need your help, Tiger. :'''Tiger''': ''[enamoured with Cleo's beauty]'' I want to put my penis in you...

Tiger (now wearing a cap with the DiC logo on it) hits a beautful shot as Heathcliff, Cleo, and a couple of other toons watch. LongArm uses his gauntlet to sink a putt, as Tiger chats up Princess Lana and receives a slap to the face from her. As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown? I'm Hammerman! I'm M.C. Hammer, except not, and I have magic shoes. ''[shows off his magic dancing shoes]'' :'''Tiger''': ''[looks at Cleo]'' You know, I don't even know if I want to save you DiC's.

This is a movie, and you all look like you were drawn on a napkin. :'''Cleo''': Win the game and I'll blow you. :''[Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately sinks the putt and wins the game.

And her name was Granny Graham Crackers. Remember when she knit your favorite scarf, Black Cherry Pie? :'''Black Cherry Pie''': ''[caressing her scarf fondly]'' I wear it everyday, Raspberry Parfait. :'''Raspberry Parfait''': And Fudge Turnover, remember when she fixed you leaky roof? :'''Fudge Turnover''': She got heat-stroke and fell into the hedges. :'''Black Cherry Pie''': ''[indignant]'' While you watched Tango and Cash on Netflix! :'''Fudge Turnover''': Yes! While I watched Tango and Cash on Netflix. :'''Raspberry Parfait''': And Buttermilk Biscuits, I remember when Granny drove all the way to the big city to get- :'''Buttermilk Biscuits''': ''[gesturing towards her neck]'' No. Nope. Mnh-mnh. :'''Raspberry Parfait''': Your...tonsils out? :'''Fudge Turnover''': Yeah, your unborn tonsils. :''[Black Cherry Pie scowls at him]'' :'''Raspberry Parfait''': ''[clears her throat]'' Now then if there are no more speakers? ''[no one says a word, to her relief]'' Great! Then, in conclusion- ''[But Bitch Pudding opens the door just then. She looks nervous and everyone else is shocked.

''[the audience is still dumbfounded]'' I remember her smile. ''[the audience looks relieved]'' I remember how much she loved baking sugar cookies. ''[wipes a tear from her eye]'' :'''All''': ''[react happily]'' Ahh! :'''Bitch Pudding''': But most of all, I remember... ''[giving a angry rant]'' her rank-ass old-lady farts. :''[Everyone gasps in shock]'' :''[Raspberry Parfait'': ''[facepalming]'' Oh, God. :'''Bitch Pudding''': This bitch had no sense of smell, no sense of hearing, so all day long, she was like "Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbhhhhhht!" :'''Raspberry Parfait''': Okay. ''[chuckles]'' That's enough- :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[pushes Raspberry Parfait and continues]'' And when you're a hundred years old, I guess panties are just an afterthought. I mean, raise your hand if you never saw Granny airing out the Ark of the Covenant! ''[while she’s talking, Raspberry Parfait does the hand signal to turn the camera off, but she then mouths "What the?" Everyone gasps and groans]'' I hope Granny is in heaven, but she had a gambling addiction, so Satan might be doing her up the butt. ''[Everyone gasps again]'' Knock twice if Satan's doing you up the butt, Granny. ''[in Granny's voice]'' I love it up the butt from Satan, everybody! ''[in Satan's voice]'' You rule, Granny! Ha ha!

Joes clap, and Duke kisses Scarlett before he heads up with Roadblock to collect their award, while COBRA Commander and Destro watch on from the cheap seats]'' :'''COBRA Commander''': Look at them, Destro.

''[normal voice]'' Reads like a dispatch from the no-shit clinic. :'''Destro''': I'll get the nerve gas. :'''COBRA Commander''': No, you fool. We'll beat them at their own game. ''[clenching his fist]'' We'll create our own PSAs! :''[Cut to COBRA Commander, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, and the Crimson Twins in the briefing room at COBRA Headquarters]'' :'''COBRA Commander''': OK, OK, let's just throw some ideas out there. This is a safe creative place. Dr. Mindbender, go. :'''Dr. Mindbender''': Well, I thought our PSA could communicate an idea non-verbally. I've discovered that painting directly on celluloid creates a sort of "tone poem". :'''COBRA Commander''': Holy ''[bleep]'', that's sounds terrible. I'm sorry, safe place, but holy shit, that was fucking dumb. Next! :'''Baroness''': ''[enters the room]'' Oh, I forgot you guys were in here writing. I was just looking for a hammer to hang my degree in screenwriting from Aberdeen. Anything I can do for you while I'm in here?

''[puts his arms around the children]'' That is what these kidnapped children are for. :'''COBRA Commander''': ''[talking to Storm Shadow, who is reading his lines]'' OK, Storm Shadow, these two children will be running with scissors. Now, this upsets you, and you... :'''Storm Shadow''': Why? :'''COBRA Commander''': It's dangerous to run with scissors. :'''Storm Shadow''': I run with Katana. Is that not dangerous? :'''COBRA Commander''': ''[sarcastically]'' Wow, I hadn't thought of that. Excellent point, Storm Shadow. ''[whispers to Tomax]'' Get this piece of ''[bleep]'' off my set! :''[One of the children runs past, giggling while running with scissors, but ends up getting killed by Storm Shadow]'' :'''Storm Shadow''': Well, COBRA Commander, it looks like I owe you an apology. :''[First COBRA PSA: Serpentor telling children about using supplies only at the post office]'' :'''Serpentor''': So, remember, only take supplies if you'll use them for post office business. Any other use is a felony. :'''Boy''': Now I'm aware. :'''Serpentor''': ''[putting his arms around the children and smiling]'' And awareness is the second 50% of the conflict in question. ''[beat]'' Somebody say ''[bleep]''ing "Cut"! :''[Second COBRA PSA: COBRA Commander tells children about the joys of reading]'' :'''COBRA Commander''': And I think you'll find it's not hard to read when you take the time to sssssssssound it out.

It feels like my hands are gonna smurf off! :'''Farmer Smurf''': Yep, my carpal tunnel got so bad, they had to fuse my wrist bones in place! :'''Papa Smurf''': But our healthcare is smurfy, right? :'''Farmer Smurf''': Eh, my deductible is 2,000 smurfberries. :'''Papa Smurf''': WHAT?!

Uh, just treat the next patient while I go for a Jamba Juice run in my gold-plated helicopter. :'''Papa Smurf''': Actually, I'm not really qualified. :''[Outside the window, Doctor Smurf takes off in his gold-plated helicopter. Door opens, Smurfette and Handy Smurf enter the room]'' :'''Smurfette''': We need Doctor Smurf! Handy had an accident! :'''Papa Smurf''': Did someone get a sliver? ''[Handy shows his bleeding hand, missing all of his fingers]'' OH MY SMURFING GOD!!! :'''Handy Smurf''': I sawed right through a load-bearing mushroom! Half our building materials are fungus! Oh, trade school didn't prepare me for this! :'''Smurfette''': You can smurf his fingers, right, nurse? :'''Papa Smurf''': I'll certainly try.

''[laughs evilly, but then rips off book cover]'' This is actually Dan Brown's "Inferno." It's a piece of shit. Our next tale is something of an "alle-gory"! You might say it's a "meta-gore"!

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

I'm not a soldier! :'''General''': Gerry, we need a lawyer. :''[Title Card: WORLD WAR B (as in blocks)]'' :'''W.H.O.

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive!

Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze.

Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again!

I'll-I'll leave town, okay? Oh, FYI, that isn't blood, that is strawberry jam, m'lady. The insulation is leaking. All I did was turn the painting upside down.

That depends on whether I give a ''[bleep]'', ''[bleep]'' tits! ''[make a fanfare noise]'' Bitch Pudding! BLAM!

Shoot me! :'''Elmer Fudd''': What?! :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': In the future, they don't let me have a gun! That was my one dimension as a character! Know what I did yesterday?

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah!

Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown?

Bitch Pudding walks up to the podium, lightly shoving her out of the way]'' W-We were just wrapping up here, Bitch Pudding. :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[grabs the microphone and begin to speak in her calm southern accent]'' I remember Granny. ''[the audience is still dumbfounded]'' I remember her smile. ''[the audience looks relieved]'' I remember how much she loved baking sugar cookies. ''[wipes a tear from her eye]'' :'''All''': ''[react happily]'' Ahh! :'''Bitch Pudding''': But most of all, I remember...

Everyone gasps and groans]'' I hope Granny is in heaven, but she had a gambling addiction, so Satan might be doing her up the butt.

This is a safe creative place. Dr. Mindbender, go. :'''Dr. Mindbender''': Well, I thought our PSA could communicate an idea non-verbally.

Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again!

They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown?

Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown? I'm Hammerman! I'm M.C. Hammer, except not, and I have magic shoes. ''[shows off his magic dancing shoes]'' :'''Tiger''': ''[looks at Cleo]'' You know, I don't even know if I want to save you DiC's. You're just uninspired rehashes of good ideas. Seriously, how cheap is DiC? This is a movie, and you all look like you were drawn on a napkin. :'''Cleo''': Win the game and I'll blow you. :''[Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately sinks the putt and wins the game.

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah!

Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

LongArm uses his gauntlet to sink a putt, as Tiger chats up Princess Lana and receives a slap to the face from her. As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown? I'm Hammerman! I'm M.C. Hammer, except not, and I have magic shoes. ''[shows off his magic dancing shoes]'' :'''Tiger''': ''[looks at Cleo]'' You know, I don't even know if I want to save you DiC's. You're just uninspired rehashes of good ideas. Seriously, how cheap is DiC? This is a movie, and you all look like you were drawn on a napkin. :'''Cleo''': Win the game and I'll blow you. :''[Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately sinks the putt and wins the game.

Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive!

Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight.

And her name was Granny Graham Crackers. Remember when she knit your favorite scarf, Black Cherry Pie? :'''Black Cherry Pie''': ''[caressing her scarf fondly]'' I wear it everyday, Raspberry Parfait. :'''Raspberry Parfait''': And Fudge Turnover, remember when she fixed you leaky roof? :'''Fudge Turnover''': She got heat-stroke and fell into the hedges. :'''Black Cherry Pie''': ''[indignant]'' While you watched Tango and Cash on Netflix! :'''Fudge Turnover''': Yes!

''[chuckles]'' That's enough- :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[pushes Raspberry Parfait and continues]'' And when you're a hundred years old, I guess panties are just an afterthought.

Everyone gasps and groans]'' I hope Granny is in heaven, but she had a gambling addiction, so Satan might be doing her up the butt.

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive!

Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah!

Oh, that was just a kid from my wife's first marriage. But that looked really painful. Hit me with the juice! ''[gets injected]'' Ugh! ''[the serum transforms him into...]'' No! You turned me into a ''[bleep]''ing DUPLO! It's the same company as LEGO, you fool! Aah! Aah!

Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

Tiger (now wearing a cap with the DiC logo on it) hits a beautful shot as Heathcliff, Cleo, and a couple of other toons watch. LongArm uses his gauntlet to sink a putt, as Tiger chats up Princess Lana and receives a slap to the face from her. As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown? I'm Hammerman! I'm M.C. Hammer, except not, and I have magic shoes. ''[shows off his magic dancing shoes]'' :'''Tiger''': ''[looks at Cleo]'' You know, I don't even know if I want to save you DiC's. You're just uninspired rehashes of good ideas. Seriously, how cheap is DiC? This is a movie, and you all look like you were drawn on a napkin. :'''Cleo''': Win the game and I'll blow you. :''[Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately sinks the putt and wins the game. As the DiC toons celebrate, Tiger unzips his pants and takes a terrified Cleo by the hand into the Pancake House for his well-earned blowjob]'' :'''Hammerman''': ''[rapping]'' Everybody tee off, get a club in your hands, charisma-free sex addict saving DiC Land!

Shoot me! :'''Elmer Fudd''': What?! :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': In the future, they don't let me have a gun! That was my one dimension as a character! Know what I did yesterday?

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah!

Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend.

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown?

Which one of you buttholes is sh**ting arrows?! Yaaaaah! - Hello, neighbor! - Suck on this ruling, Tinker Bell! - The H.O.A. says you're out! - Well, the rules are the rules. Guess I should start packing. [laughs] Yeah. You do that. Don't forget to write. Oh, it's gonna be a good day, Martha. No more Superm... What the ... Superma-a-a-a-a-n!

Jogurt [7.01]=== :''[At the Emmy Awards, a G.I. Joe PSA of Roadblock talking to two children is shown on the big screen]'' :'''Roadblock''': I don't know why a 7-year-old would need to deep fry a turkey, but know you know how. :'''Children''': And knowing is half the battle. :''[The PSA ends with the "G.I. Joe" jingle]'' :'''Host''': And the Emmy for "Best PSA by a Paramilitary Organization" goes to...G.I. Joe, for "Don't Be a Turkey on Thanksgiving". :''[The G.I. Joes clap, and Duke kisses Scarlett before he heads up with Roadblock to collect their award, while COBRA Commander and Destro watch on from the cheap seats]'' :'''COBRA Commander''': Look at them, Destro. The Joes churn out pedestrian advice to dead-eyed children, and the public eats it up! ''[mocking the Joes]'' "Hey, kids, don't play with fallen electrical lines." ''[normal voice]'' Reads like a dispatch from the no-shit clinic. :'''Destro''': I'll get the nerve gas. :'''COBRA Commander''': No, you fool. We'll beat them at their own game. ''[clenching his fist]'' We'll create our own PSAs! :''[Cut to COBRA Commander, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, and the Crimson Twins in the briefing room at COBRA Headquarters]'' :'''COBRA Commander''': OK, OK, let's just throw some ideas out there. This is a safe creative place. Dr. Mindbender, go. :'''Dr. Mindbender''': Well, I thought our PSA could communicate an idea non-verbally. I've discovered that painting directly on celluloid creates a sort of "tone poem". :'''COBRA Commander''': Holy ''[bleep]'', that's sounds terrible. I'm sorry, safe place, but holy shit, that was fucking dumb. Next! :'''Baroness''': ''[enters the room]'' Oh, I forgot you guys were in here writing. I was just looking for a hammer to hang my degree in screenwriting from Aberdeen. Anything I can do for you while I'm in here? ''[looks at him]'' Destro? :'''Destro''': She's actually really funny, you guys. :'''COBRA Commander''': Hey, you lost me at "She's". ''[Bleep'' it! We're doing it without a script. :''[Cut to the set of COBRA's PSAs, as Destro supervises, Storm Shadow is having his makeup done by one COBRA soldier, and two more soldiers move a camera. Dr. Mindbender enters the set with a group of children]'' :'''Destro''': Dr. Mindbender, you found four young children for our PSAs. :'''Dr. Mindbender''': Uh, yes. ''[puts his arms around the children]'' That is what these kidnapped children are for. :'''COBRA Commander''': ''[talking to Storm Shadow, who is reading his lines]'' OK, Storm Shadow, these two children will be running with scissors. Now, this upsets you, and you... :'''Storm Shadow''': Why? :'''COBRA Commander''': It's dangerous to run with scissors. :'''Storm Shadow''': I run with Katana. Is that not dangerous? :'''COBRA Commander''': ''[sarcastically]'' Wow, I hadn't thought of that. Excellent point, Storm Shadow. ''[whispers to Tomax]'' Get this piece of ''[bleep]'' off my set! :''[One of the children runs past, giggling while running with scissors, but ends up getting killed by Storm Shadow]'' :'''Storm Shadow''': Well, COBRA Commander, it looks like I owe you an apology. :''[First COBRA PSA: Serpentor telling children about using supplies only at the post office]'' :'''Serpentor''': So, remember, only take supplies if you'll use them for post office business. Any other use is a felony. :'''Boy''': Now I'm aware. :'''Serpentor''': ''[putting his arms around the children and smiling]'' And awareness is the second 50% of the conflict in question. ''[beat]'' Somebody say ''[bleep]''ing "Cut"! :''[Second COBRA PSA: COBRA Commander tells children about the joys of reading]'' :'''COBRA Commander''': And I think you'll find it's not hard to read when you take the time to sssssssssound it out. ''[both children giggle]'' Oh, yesss, I've got a sssmall ssspeech impediment. ''[both children laugh; irritated]'' It'sss not funny! ''[removes his mask, as the children scream and run away, only for the Commander to shoot them dead]'' Shut. It. Down. :''[At the next Emmy Awards...]'' :'''Host''': And the Emmy for "Best PSA by a Paramilitary Organization" goes to...G.I. Joe, for "Don't Star in a COBRA PSA". :'''COBRA Commander''': ''[shaking his fist]'' What?! :'''Destro''': ''[shouting over to the troops]'' Pump the nerve gas! ===Link's Sausages [7.02]=== :''[Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil are standing in the street]'' :'''Tommy Pickles''': ''[holding his Reptar doll]'' Well, after crossing the freeway, base jumping off a cliff, and dodging bullets in a gang war, we finally found my Reptar doll. :'''Didi Pickles''': ''[enters the street, finding the babies]'' Tommy! What are you doing in the street?! :''[Cut to the Pickles' house]'' :'''Stu Pickles''': ''[opens the door]'' Oh, thank God! They've been lost for hours! Where were they? :'''Didi Pickles''': Stu, a word? ''[they walk into the kitchen, their voices get muffled as they talk with the door shut]'' What the ''[bleep]'', Stu?! :'''Stu Pickles''': Well, I'm sorry. The babies escaped, and I- :'''Didi Pickles''': Escaped?! They're babies, you sackless moron! :'''Stu Pickles''': I was downstairs, working on a new toy, and they just- :'''Didi Pickles''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, a new toy! Never mind, then! :'''Stu Pickles''': ''[tearing up]'' Didi, if you keep ridiculing my work, I-I swear to God- :'''Didi Pickles''': ''[enraged]'' What?! You'll hit me?! Ooh, you're such a man! :''[Thudding and crashing are heard as Didi violently beats Stu offscreen]'' :'''Stu Pickles''': Didi, stop! :'''Didi Pickles''': I'll be the man! See, Stu?! I'm the man! :'''Stu Pickles''': ''[sobbing]'' I want a divorce! :''[The babies look devastated as the screen cut to static]'' ===Secret of the Booze [7.03]=== :''[Cuts to Papa Smurf shaving his beard in his house]'' :'''Papa Smurf''': I don't usually get involved in day-to-day operations, so I'm smurfing undercover. They'll never smurf it's me. ''[chuckles; takes off his pants]'' Ohh, I haven't smurfed these things off in nearly 300 years! Talk about crotch rot! :''[Title Card: Undercover Smurf Boss]'' :'''Farmer Smurf''': So, you're my new intern, huh? :'''Papa Smurf''': That's right, Farmer Smurf. Teach me to care about your sad, little life...I mean your noble and fulfilling, uh, career choice. :'''Farmer Smurf''': Well, Smurfs are a thirsty bunch, so we got to smurf them fresh milk every day! :''[A giant caterpillar slithers in and turns onto its side, revealing its udders]'' :'''Papa Smurf''': ''[being filmed]'' We've been drinking CATERPILLAR MILK?! ''[milks the giant caterpillar, his hands getting sore]'' Oh, this is agony. It feels like my hands are gonna smurf off! :'''Farmer Smurf''': Yep, my carpal tunnel got so bad, they had to fuse my wrist bones in place! :'''Papa Smurf''': But our healthcare is smurfy, right? :'''Farmer Smurf''': Eh, my deductible is 2,000 smurfberries. :'''Papa Smurf''': WHAT?! ''[cash register dings]'' :''[Title Card: 1 Smurfberry = 1.78 USD]'' :''[Scene cuts to the Smurf Hospital. Doctor Smurf packs his medical bag]'' :'''Papa Smurf''': Doctor Smurf, why are deductibles so high? :'''Doctor Smurf''': Boy, you smurf a lot of uppity questions for an intern. Uh, just treat the next patient while I go for a Jamba Juice run in my gold-plated helicopter. :'''Papa Smurf''': Actually, I'm not really qualified. :''[Outside the window, Doctor Smurf takes off in his gold-plated helicopter. Door opens, Smurfette and Handy Smurf enter the room]'' :'''Smurfette''': We need Doctor Smurf! Handy had an accident! :'''Papa Smurf''': Did someone get a sliver? ''[Handy shows his bleeding hand, missing all of his fingers]'' OH MY SMURFING GOD!!! :'''Handy Smurf''': I sawed right through a load-bearing mushroom! Half our building materials are fungus! Oh, trade school didn't prepare me for this! :'''Smurfette''': You can smurf his fingers, right, nurse? :'''Papa Smurf''': I'll certainly try. ''[being filmed]'' I certainly tried. :''[Cuts to Papa Smurf sewing Handy's fingers while Handy lies dead on the table]'' :'''Smurfette''': ''[crying]'' You can probably stop sewing. :'''Papa Smurf''': No, no, no. I-I'm gonna get this. ''[walks up to Grouchy Smurf]'' So, Grouchy Smurf, how's the coffee today? :'''Grouchy Smurf''': I hate coffee! :'''Papa Smurf''': Oh! Okay. But how do you like working here? :'''Grouchy Smurf''': I hate working here. :'''Papa Smurf''': Oh, goodness. Okay. Well, is there anything that maybe Papa Smurf could do? :'''Grouchy Smurf''': I hate Papa Smurf! :'''Papa Smurf''': All right, what exactly do you do around here? :'''Grouchy Smurf''': I-I hate stuff? :'''Papa Smurf''': ''[puts on his red hat]'' I'm being deadly serious. :'''Grouchy Smurf''': I...I... ''[cuts to him, shoveling dog poop outside]'' I hate shoveling dog ''[bleep]''. :'''Papa Smurf''': Well, now that's actually an appropriate reaction. Carry on, dog-''[bleep]'' Smurf! ''[leaves]'' :''[More dog poop falls from above, next to Grouchy]'' ===Rebel Appliance [7.04]=== :'''Lion-O''': My fellow Thundercats! When danger is near, I shall hold the Sword of Omens aloft and yell out a battle cry :'''Cheetara''': What shall our battle cry be, Lion-O? :'''Lion-O''': "Thunder, thunder, thunder, thundercats, I need you because evil is near, and we are friends, and we are a team. So we must come together and fight because the Eye of Thundera is in the sky, and it is summoning everyone together. So please come here Panthro and Tygra and Panthro and also Cheetara and also Wilykit and Wilicat and also Snarf. I think I said Panthro twice. I won't do that every time. Yes, we are the Thundercats. This is our battle cry. I love you guys. You are my best friends, and I am Lion-O and I am a Thundercat, and you guys are Thundercats too. Mumm Ra is not a Thundercat, he's bad and we're gonna win against him, because we are the Thundercats, and the Thundercats are here for you today because we are the Thundercats yeah, I'm Lion-O". I hope you write that down. :'''Snarf''': I liked it. ''[Wilykat slaps him]'' OW! ===Legion of Super-Gyros [7.05]=== :''[With Grover and Oscar the Grouch]'' :'''Grover''': Oh boy, it sure is a great day here on Sesame Street! :'''Oscar''': Yeah, especially since we're the last neighborhood in New York that hasn't been gentrified. :'''Grover''': Until today, because our special guest is Hannah Horvath from the marginally popular but ignored in the flyover states HBO series, Girls! :'''Hannah''': Hey, do you know where I could find a cocaine dealer/organic Vietnamese taco truck around here? :'''Oscar''': ''[Bleep]'' me! ''[gets back inside his trash can]'' :'''Hannah''': ''[feels Grover]'' Ooh, you're so cute! ''[later that night]'' I really love how you don't play games, Grover. :'''Grover''': Oh but I play lots of games, patty cake, and marco polo...Ugh! :'''Hannah''': ''[shows her private parts at Grover while jacking off]'' Insult my parents! Oh yeah! :'''Grover''': Woah! ''[scene cuts to him and Hannah learning about numbers with apples]'' Today, we are going to learn about the number 3, I have 3 apples! :'''Hannah''': And I know 3 girls who were date raped at the same bar on 6th street. :'''Grover''': That is sad. ''[Hannah eats the apple]'' Uh...you're eating my props. :'''Hannah''': I'm proud of my body. :'''Grover''': I know, I know. :'''Hannah''': Ugh! Yeah! ''[shows her private parts at Grover while jerking off again]'' :'''Grover''': Oh, God! ===El Skeletorio [7.06]=== :'''Crypt Keeper''': Oh, hello! I was just enjoying the latest best "heller"! ''[laughs evilly, but then rips off book cover]'' This is actually Dan Brown's "Inferno." It's a piece of shit. Our next tale is something of an "alle-gory"! You might say it's a "meta-gore"! Let's just roll it. :''[Cuts to the outside of Bitch Pudding's house, where the title of the sketch appears. We cut to inside the hpuse, where Bitch Pudding is sleeping]'' :'''Ghostly Voice''': Get out. Get out of the house. Get out of the hou- :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[wakes up]'' Why don't you get your tongue out of your daddy's ''[bleep]''hole so I can jam your mama's ''[bleep]'' up there, you ''[bleep]''-gargling pile of monkey spunk? Nothing to say now, huh? :'''Ghostly Voice''': There's just a lot to unpack there. :'''Bitch Pudding''': Well, wake me up when you figure it out, ''[bleep]'' stick. ''[goes back to sleep]'' :''[The next morning, Bitch Pudding goes to her fridge when she sees the chairs and flower pot of her table are now completely deformed]'' :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[annoyed, she flips them over and destroys them]'' BLAM! Where's your ''[bleep]''-ass art project now, ''[bleep]'' nut? :'''Ghostly voice''': It wasn't supposed to be art, it was supposed to scare you! God! Forget it! I'm leaving! ''[cuts to Strawberry Shortcake's house, where she is sleeping]'' Strawberry Shortcake! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': ''[wakes up]'' Huh? What? :'''Ghostly Voice''': Get out of the house! :''[A red substance begins to ooze out of the walls, causing Strawberry Shortcake to scream in fear]'' :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[breaks in through the window]'' Hey, ''[bleep]''ing clown, if you're ragging so bad, why don't you take your mama's tampon out of your daddy's ''[bleep]''hole and lick it clean before you shove it up your ''[bleep]''?! :'''Ghostly Voice''': Hey, stop talking about my dad's ''[bleep]''hole! I'll-I'll leave town, okay? Oh, FYI, that isn't blood, that is strawberry jam, m'lady. The insulation is leaking. All I did was turn the painting upside down. Live with it. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Do you think he was right about the insulation? That could be berry expensive. :'''Bitch Pudding''': Hmm, let's see. That depends on whether I give a ''[bleep]'', ''[bleep]'' tits! ''[make a fanfare noise]'' Bitch Pudding! BLAM! ''[jumps out the window]'' :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I should really move. ===Snarfer Image [7.07]=== :''[Ticking, cuts to Elmer Fudd in a field]'' :'''Elmer Fudd:'' ''[narrating]'' Time travel has not been invented yet, ''[cocks his gun]'' but in 30 years, it will be. ''[gunshot]'' In the future, TV networks don't awwow cartoons to have guns, so if they want to kill someone, they send them back here to me. My name is Elmer Fudd, and I'm a Wooper. ''[Title Card: Wooper]'' The only wule is never let your target escape, even if your target is you. :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': ''[appears in the field]'' What are you waiting for? Shoot me! :'''Elmer Fudd''': What?! :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': In the future, they don't let me have a gun! That was my one dimension as a character! Know what I did yesterday? I slept for 15 hours and then beat it to a Weader's Digest! Help me! :'''Elmer Fudd''': I can't. :'''Old Elmer Fudd''': Come on, give it to me. ''[crying]'' Pleeeease. ''[gunshot]'' :'''Yosemite Sam''': ''[appears in the field]'' I'll have what he's having. ''[gunshot]'' :''[Cuts to Porky Pig on the Looney Tunes circles.

This was my true form all along! I can't wait to marry you, Shrek! :'''Shrek''': Marry you? :'''Fiona''': Well, yeah! Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great! ''[sees Shrek hanging from a noose, and to Shrek's disappointment, the noose snaps]'' ===Panthropologie [7.09]=== :''[Caption: LEGO City, 2014]'' :'''Wife''': Honey, look out!

They look like us but different! :'''General''': ''[lands in the helicopter]'' This way! Hurry! Your life has more value than other people! ''[the Lanes get onto the helicopter]'' Gerry, we need your expertise! :'''Gerry''': My expertise? I'm not a soldier! :'''General''': Gerry, we need a lawyer. :''[Title Card: WORLD WAR B (as in blocks)]'' :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': Put simply, Gerry, we're being invaded by imitation blocks. :'''Assistant''': Off-brand products with a taste for LEGO blood! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': They're nearly identical but different. Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo. I'll protect you. :'''Assistant''': Don't worry, girl from the Wendy's commercials. :'''General''': Don't worry, GEICO gecko. :''[Cut to the map]'' :'''Gerry''': ''[narrating]'' They covered the whole globe in no time: Mega Bloks, Kre-O, Best-Lock, CoCo, BanBao, Rokenbok, Super Blocks, and Leggo with two g's, which was especially insulting. :''[Caption: Lego Headquarters, Denmark]'' :''[Zombies groaning]'' :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' LEGO my baby, LEGO my honey, LEGO my ragtime gal... :'''Son''': Daddy, are we safe? :'''Gerry''': Of course we are, son. People are singing, aren't they? Ugh. That is the lowest form of music. :'''Barbershop Quartet''': ''[singing]'' ...Honey, you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone... :''[Zombies groaning loudly]'' :'''Gerry''': The terrible singing! They're attracted to the terrible singing! ''[the zombies start climbing over the walls. Gerry knocks out the quartet. Soldiers start shooting]'' Ohh! - Ow! Fire! Fire! They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive! But this serum will make us look cheaper and sloppier! ''[injects himself]'' Aah! ''[turns into a Playmobil figure]'' We look like them now! :'''Gerry''': I'd rather die. :'''Son''': ''[notices something]'' What?! They have Transformers? :'''Gerry''': No, son! No! :'''Son''': Aah! ''[Bumblebee rips him in half]'' :'''Gerry''': Nooooooo! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': You probably don't even want to go on living now. :'''Gerry''': Huh? Oh, that was just a kid from my wife's first marriage. But that looked really painful. Hit me with the juice! ''[gets injected]'' Ugh! ''[the serum transforms him into...]'' No! You turned me into a ''[bleep]''ing DUPLO! It's the same company as LEGO, you fool! Aah! Aah! ''[Mrs. Lane and the Doctor run away whilst DUPLO Gerry gets his head ripped off]'' Guys, is this ending working? Let's re-shoot it. :''[Zombies murmuring]'' ===Catdog on a Stick [7.10]=== :'''Executive''': You sure you wanna do a movie, Tiger? :'''Tiger''': I want to be beloved again, like before I had sex with all those waitresses from IHOP. Jordan did Space Jam. I want my Space Jam. :'''Executive''': Well, studios aren't lining up to lend their characters to a Tiger Woods movie. Everyone aggressively passed except DiC, but I cannot recommend that. :''[Cut to the title card for the Golf Jam movie]'' :'''Singers''': Welcome to the Golf Jam! :''[Cut to Tiger on the golf course]'' :'''Tiger''': Time for a day of playing golf and being faithful to my girlfriend. ''[falls down a large hole]'' What? Whoooooooa!! ''[lands in DiC Land, surrounded by Heathcliff and other DiC characters]'' Ow! :'''Heathcliff''': Welcome to DiC Land, Tiger. :'''Tiger''': ''[getting up from his fall and waving hello]'' Why, hi, Garfield. :'''Heathcliff''': I'm Heathcliff. I'm more romantic and have an accent. This is Cleo. :'''Cleo''': We need your help, Tiger. :'''Tiger''': ''[enamoured with Cleo's beauty]'' I want to put my penis in you...

Tiger (now wearing a cap with the DiC logo on it) hits a beautful shot as Heathcliff, Cleo, and a couple of other toons watch. LongArm uses his gauntlet to sink a putt, as Tiger chats up Princess Lana and receives a slap to the face from her. As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight. The montage ends as Tiger is getting ready to sink his final putt, with Cleo and Hammerman watching on]'' :'''Hammerman''': If you sink this putt, we win! :'''Tiger''': Wish me luck, Bobby Brown. :'''Hammerman''': Bobby Brown? I'm Hammerman! I'm M.C. Hammer, except not, and I have magic shoes. ''[shows off his magic dancing shoes]'' :'''Tiger''': ''[looks at Cleo]'' You know, I don't even know if I want to save you DiC's. You're just uninspired rehashes of good ideas. Seriously, how cheap is DiC? This is a movie, and you all look like you were drawn on a napkin. :'''Cleo''': Win the game and I'll blow you. :''[Upon hearing this, Tiger immediately sinks the putt and wins the game. As the DiC toons celebrate, Tiger unzips his pants and takes a terrified Cleo by the hand into the Pancake House for his well-earned blowjob]'' :'''Hammerman''': ''[rapping]'' Everybody tee off, get a club in your hands, charisma-free sex addict saving DiC Land!

Since we look the same now, we'll live happily ever after! :'''Shrek''': Fiona, every morning, I look at myself in the mirror, and I wish my mother had the courage to throw me in the river when I was born. Then I make my way to the putrid swamps, the only place on God's green Earth a monster like me feels at home. Sometimes, children gather to scream at me. "Monster! Animal!", they yell. Then someone screams, "Kill yourself!" and it takes a few seconds to realize the voice is coming from my own mouth! By then, I've made my way to the old hanging tree. Before I have time to think about it, I'm wrapping a vine around my own neck. It goes "tot" and I pray to the gods that this time, the vine will hold! But alas, everyday, I wake up in my own filth and I lie there and I cry. I cry because I'll live to see my face again! So nay, marrying a lass with a face as hideous as my own is not on my to-do list! :'''Fiona''':''[with her mouth full]'' Have you tried these mini cheeseburgers? They're great!

Wrong. Like when you sit on your hand until it goes to sleep. You try to pretend Flo from the Progressive commercials is giving you an HJ, but you know it's not Flo. You know that! She'd never be so clumsy, so artless. :'''General''': That's impossible! We're trademarked! :'''Gerry''': No, general. LEGO bricks aren't protected by trademark. They're protected by patent. :'''General''': Hell, man, what's the difference? :'''Gerry''': The difference is...patents expire! Cool! Someone turned that legal document into a GIF. That's fun. :'''General''': Isn't it "jiff"? Anyway, how do we stop it? :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': There's nothing we can do. ''[whispering]'' Don't worry, Flo.

They're too fast!-Ohh! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': ''[runs in with the syringe]'' Gerry, I've found a way to camouflage ourselves! :'''Gerry''': That beats my solution. ''[acts out shooting zombies, and then acts out shooting himself]'' Pew pew! Pew pew! Pew! :'''W.H.O. Doctor''': LEGOs are machined to a tolerance of 10 micrometers! That's why we're so expensive!

As Cleo prepares to sink her putt, Tiger walks up from behind and starts pretending to hump her. Ja-Kal prepares to take a shot as Armon looks on, but a piece of Armon's gauze is caught on Ja-Kal's club. As Ja-Kal swings, he and Armon both get tied up in Armon's gauze. Tiger is seen in one of the bunkers with Nefer-Tina sitting on top of him, as she unwraps the gauze from her upper body much to Tiger's delight.

"Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbht!" "Pbhhhhhht!" :'''Raspberry Parfait''': Okay. ''[chuckles]'' That's enough- :'''Bitch Pudding''': ''[pushes Raspberry Parfait and continues]'' And when you're a hundred years old, I guess panties are just an afterthought. I mean, raise your hand if you never saw Granny airing out the Ark of the Covenant! ''[while she’s talking, Raspberry Parfait does the hand signal to turn the camera off, but she then mouths "What the?" Everyone gasps and groans]'' I hope Granny is in heaven, but she had a gambling addiction, so Satan might be doing her up the butt.

One thing missing from this article is the quotation that goes roughly "The gods do not deduct from one's life the time spent fishing." Various forms of this have been attributed to various places: * "God does not charge time spent fishing against a man’s allotted life span" &mdash; attributed as an "American Indian proverb" by ''Forbes''[https://www.forbes.com/quotes/402/], but I think this is wrong because American Indians weren't monotheistic and wouldn't say that. * "The gods do not deduct from man’s allotted span the hours spent in fishing" &mdash; attributed to [[Herbert Hoover]]. Source: quotefancy.com/quote/1022185/Herbert-Hoover-The-gods-do-not-deduct-from-man-s-allotted-span-the-hours-spent-in-fishing (unlinked due to spam filter); it is likely he actually did say that because he was known as an avid fisherman (an [https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=vGI51FdN_UEC entire book] was written about it), but was he the first? ** Other sources attribute this same wording to a "Babylonian proverb".[https://itatemylure.com/][https://minimalistquotes.com/proverb/the-gods-do-not-deduct-from-marls-allotted-span-the-hours-spent-fishing/] * "The gods do not subtract from the alloted span of men's lives the hours spent in fishing" &mdash; claimed to be an Assyrian proverb by a stock photo provider.[https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-assyrian-proverb-the-gods-do-not-subtract-from-the-alloted-span-of-118708187.html] The variations in wording make it difficult to search for origins. I have doubts about the Assyrian or Babylonian proverbs unless the aphorism appears in ancient written texts, but searching Google Scholar didn't turn up anything.

Gentleman, let us search our our good together, and work hard to assure the well-being of our community; let us strive calmly and intelligently to undo our enemies' plans which, as you have already seen, count on our divisions to destroy us. We have never yet been defeated and now victory has once more alighted on our standard; but recent events reveal the need of all true patriots to be ever vigilant and ready to oppose the enemies of our State.

Always there have been strangers between ourselves and the Genoese, preventing us from a decision by negotiating or by the force of our arms, and always, as a result, Justice and Honour have been trampled in the mud. Now we are face to face with our last enemy. Citizens, I know the danger is great but I know, too, we are not accustomed to count the number of our foes. **Proclamation (1768), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), pp. 125-126 *The countryside of [[France]] is cultivated but the masses there have no return from their labours.

Citizens, I know the danger is great but I know, too, we are not accustomed to count the number of our foes. **Proclamation (1768), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), pp. 125-126 *The countryside of [[France]] is cultivated but the masses there have no return from their labours. There are more cooking pots and kitchen spits in [[England]], [[Switzerland]] and [[Netherlands|Holland]] than in all the rest of Europe. In those places you do not see a ragged man or an emaciated countenance. The miracles of Liberty are more frequent, more grand and more useful than those of [[w:Anthony of Padua|Saint Anthony of Padua]]. **Letter (1 August 1787), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), p. 172 *This nomination belongs to you, gentlemen. Are you eager so soon to give up your privileges? If I do not abuse the confidence with which you honour me today, someone else will abuse it tomorrow. Nature has provided you with abundant reason and good sense and you would be wise always to use them and look with a certain suspicion on power vested in a single individual. **Remarks at the Congress of Orezza opposing the resolution that proposed that Paoli should designate two Commissioners who would carry to Paris the thanks of the National Assembly for the freedom and the institutions that the French had granted them (9 September 1790), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), p. 216 *It's not because I am proud, gentlemen, that I refuse your generous offer. But the state of our public finances forbids you to be so free with your money. '''The public good always comes before private interest.''' **Remarks at the Congress of Orezza opposing the National Assembly's proposal to provide Paoli with an annual pension of 50,000 francs (9 September 1790), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), pp. 216-217 *Some have called me a tyrant. Well, if they come here they will find that, far from Corsica being a despotism, we have a government here which would serve as a model for any [[w:Departments of France|Department]] in France. Those who call me despot are those who fear me as an obstacle to their partisan and privy projects. **Statement (''c''. February 1793), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), p. 261 *But what is [Bartolomeo] Arena but a four-day patriot? I drank in liberty with my mother's milk, but they and their connections whirl about with every wind. My [[patriotism]] is of long standing. I have been a patriot for 65 years. I am hardly likely to submit to the censure of slaves who have known liberty for only three. **Reply to the report of [[w:Étienne Clavière|Étienne Clavière]], which stated that of all the Departments of France, Corsica contributed least to the national good (''c''. February 1793), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), p. 262 *We are brothers and not subjects. If our loyalty is proved the Commissioners ought not to arraign themselves against us. Certainly our people will not suffer arbitrary power and he abuse of authority under a Republican constitution. '''The Corsican people cannot be reconciled to despotism.''' **Letter to [[w:Antoine Christophe Saliceti|Antoine Christophe Saliceti]] (''c''. March 1793), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), pp. 264-265 *French enthusiasm is a vapour. If someone writes an article, if someone speaks in a club, if a few hot heads present an address to the [[w:National Convention|Convention]], then down goes the altar set up to today's idol and the string is ripped from the garlands to form a noose for his neck. The ''[[w:À la lanterne|lanterne]]'' is not far from the [[w:Panthéon|Pantheon]]. If [[Benjamin Franklin|Franklin]] with his buckleless shoes and leather-stripped breeches arrived in France today, his sober dress would not save him from being hanged as an aristocrat. He would be a diversion, not to the elegant ladies of Versailles, but to the murderous shrews at the foot of the [[w:Guillotine|guillotine]]. **Remarks to Antoine Christophe Saliceti (''c''. April 1793), quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), pp. 267-268 ==Undated== *Religion is an essential part of public order. Without a belief in God we would soon loose our confidence in victory. **Statement, quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), p. 58 *Every Corsican should be a soldier enlisted in the Militia, ready to defend his country: but outside these duties he ought to cultivate the land. **Statement, quoted in Peter Adam Thrasher, ''Pasquale Paoli: An Enlightened Hero, 1725–1807'' (1970), p. 65 *In a country which wishes to remain free, every citizen must be a soldier, and hold himself always ready to arm himself for the defence of his rights. Disciplined troops act more in the interest of despotism than of freedom. [[Rome]] ceased to be free on the day on which she had paid soldiers, and the invincible phalanxes of [[w:Sparta|Sparta]] were formed from a [[w:Levée en masse|levy ''en masse'']]. Lastly, as soon as there is a [[w:Standing army|standing army]], an ''esprit de corps'' is formed; people speak of the valour of this or that regiment, of this or that company. These are more serious evils than is commonly supposed; and it is good to avoid them as much as possible. We ought to speak of the firm resolve manifested by this or that commune, of the self-sacrifice of the members of this or that family, of the valour of the citizens of so-and-so; in this manner is the emulation of a free nation roused. When our manners shall be as refined as they ought to be, our whole nation will be disciplined, and our militia invincible. **Statement, quoted in Ferdinand Gregorovius, ''Corsica in Its Picturesque, Social, and Historical Aspects: The Record of a Tour in the Summer of 1852'', translated by Russell Martineau (1855), p. 84 ==Quotes about Pasquale Paoli== *You would have been much pleased, I am sure, by meeting with General Paoli, who spent the day there, and was extremely communicative and agreeable. I had seen him in large companies, but was never made known to him before; nevertheless, he conversed with me as if well acquainted not only with myself, but my connexions,—inquiring of me when I had last seen [[w:Elizabeth Montagu|Mrs. Montagu]]? and calling Sir [[Joshua Reynolds]], when he spoke of him, my friend. He is a very pleasing man, tall and genteel in his person, remarkably well bred, and very mild and soft in his manners. **[[w:Frances Burney|Frances Burney]] to Mr. Crisp (15 October 1782), quoted in Frances Burney, ''Diary and Letters of Madame d'Arblay, Vol. II. 1781—1786'' (1842), p. 155 ==External links== {{wikipedia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Paoli, Pasquale}} [[Category:1725 births]] [[Category:1807 deaths]] [[Category:Fellows of the Royal Society]] [[Category:Nationalists]] gvjh9zwfn5ubleevhsoija1y07xyt0h Category:Pages which use score 14 249684 3147890 2022-07-26T23:23:43Z 192.76.8.85 Create redlinked category wikitext text/x-wiki Pages which use the [[MW:Extension:Score|Score]] extension.
